2

18
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 1: They've been busy all weekend. We haven't been on the air,

19
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 1: but we've been on digital cyberspace, social media, all the

20
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 1: platforms you've been seeing it. But we've got a couple

21
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 1: of hours here to react to it, everything that's been

22
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,039
Speaker 1: going on here at camp. They'll have a day off tomorrow,

23
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 1: but we'll still be on the air at this time

24
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 1: from the Hunday Texans Radio studio in air conditioning, which

25
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:33,479
Speaker 1: will be nice. But we'll have plenty of audio from

26
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 1: these practice sessions. Players. You'll hear from them. We don't

27
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 1: do extended interviews. We do quick hits with them, just

28
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 1: so you can get a taste of what they're experiencing

29
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 1: with their thinking about this year's camp, about this year's season,

30
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 1: the twenty nineteen Houston Texans year eighteen of Texans football,

31
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 1: and there's nothing like it. And we are fired up. Johnny,

32
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 1: good morning. I know you've been you've been in the mix, man.

33
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 1: I think I saw you in the huddle at one point.

34
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 1: Did you run a rep or something. I've seen you

35
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 1: all over the place. I wanted to. I wanted to.

36
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 1: Then they were calling for somebody on a kick kickoff coverage.

37
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:10,640
Speaker 1: They need somebody to wear a little uh little hell

38
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 1: a little beanie down and then I thought I thought

39
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 1: about that for three seconds. I thought now that they'd

40
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:17,639
Speaker 1: have to make me the safety, you know, the guy

41
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:22,239
Speaker 1: that doesn't run like as fast as everybody else. Yeah,

42
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 1: just case six. Yeah, yeah exactly. I never was that guy,

43
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 1: but I think, uh, the guys in front of me

44
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 1: would have taken care of it. But it's been the weekend.

45
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:37,240
Speaker 1: I thought was was really good in in a number

46
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 1: of ways. I spent a lot of my time watching

47
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 1: old line throughout the throughout the weekend, Saturday and Sunday,

48
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 1: because they put the pads on, so I really wanted

49
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:49,920
Speaker 1: to see Titus, I wanted to see Max, I wanted

50
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 1: to see how the young guys reacted to it. And

51
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 1: I walked out of practice both days, especially Sunday, and

52
00:02:56,480 --> 00:03:01,360
Speaker 1: I went, Okay, this thing might not especially for those two,

53
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 1: because I think there is a lot of pressure. When

54
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 1: your first round pick, there's ton of pressure. When your

55
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 1: second round picked in there's not that much less pressure,

56
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 1: So how do you handle it? But I walked out

57
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 1: of there thinking the future of this offensive line with

58
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:17,800
Speaker 1: those two as foundation pieces is going to be solid

59
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 1: for a very long time. Right, That's that's well said.

60
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:23,239
Speaker 1: I think that it can't happen right away, or maybe

61
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 1: maybe it happened sooner than you think, but don't expect

62
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:29,239
Speaker 1: it to happen right away as far as their full potential,

63
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 1: because they are alignment and it takes three to four years.

64
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 1: We've been over this before. You hope it takes less

65
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 1: than that. But you're seeing the seedlings of something. I

66
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 1: think of Bill O'Brian, let's get the hot reads here

67
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 1: in the early going on the program, because Bill O'Brien

68
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 1: was asked about the opposive line, what he wants to

69
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 1: get that five together? Yeah, all right, so here you are.

70
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 1: Go ahead, let's hear it guys on a daily basis

71
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 1: to try to find that mix. I think this is

72
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 1: practice whatever it is. Three four, so you know, I

73
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 1: think we're still early there. But at some point I

74
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 1: don't have a hard date on that. I just think

75
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 1: that at some point in time, you have to get

76
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 1: the five out there that you think are gonna be

77
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 1: out there. And that's not right now, though. You gotta

78
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 1: you gotta get a bunch of reps and get guys

79
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 1: on tape and see how they're playing. Well. You gotta

80
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 1: get Nick Martin out there first. At center. Greg Mats

81
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 1: has done really well for himself by the way, for

82
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:21,839
Speaker 1: this organization. I mean for a guy who came in

83
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 1: as an undrafted free agent, he's played a bunch and

84
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 1: he's very handy. Just put it that way. He comes

85
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:33,039
Speaker 1: in handy, you need him, he's reliable, he's there, He's

86
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 1: started a chunk of games for you. I really like

87
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,240
Speaker 1: seeing him out there. But you gotta get Nick Martin

88
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:41,040
Speaker 1: back and we'll see where Howard fits. It is a

89
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 1: guard as a tackle. Khalil has been playing a lot

90
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 1: of tackle and Bill Obriant was also asked about We'll

91
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:49,720
Speaker 1: get to this later, but i'll paraphrase. He said, the

92
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 1: reps that we give these guys at guard or tackle.

93
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:54,919
Speaker 1: This is not something we think about. Is we're strolling

94
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 1: to practice, Like, what do you think for Howard today?

95
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 1: And mix it up? You know, gut fee, I'll tackle guard. Uh.

96
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 1: They planned these things well at advance. So when you're

97
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:06,719
Speaker 1: seeing these guys, when you're seeing a guy like Howard

98
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 1: moved from tackle to guard, back out to tackle or

99
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:13,720
Speaker 1: Sharpen guard, tackle whatever, or davenport wherever they might put him,

100
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 1: that's all planned out. Now somebody might get dinged up

101
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 1: or I have to sit out and play and then

102
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 1: they'll adjust, but that happens in games too, so you

103
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 1: gotta be ready for that. Yeah, there's no question. And

104
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 1: I think with the one thing that I love to

105
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 1: see with his offensive line, especially young guys. And I

106
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 1: saw this with Titus on Saturday. It was it was

107
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 1: salty outside. I mean it was it was humid. Mother

108
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:37,360
Speaker 1: Nature came back and kicked us all on the backside, like, hey,

109
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,359
Speaker 1: those first two days were nice, but I'm back and

110
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 1: it was it was it was hot. And I watched

111
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 1: that first day in Patty, you know, the first day

112
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 1: of pads. I talked to Doing Cold about that and

113
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:48,480
Speaker 1: I said, how do you explain the first day of pads?

114
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 1: And he said, it's like if you were to explain

115
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 1: somebody has never done it, Like, how do you explain that?

116
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 1: And it's like you really can't because you get this

117
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 1: feeling of man, every ounce of of angst that you

118
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:01,680
Speaker 1: have that you've not been able to hit anybody. Now

119
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:03,160
Speaker 1: you get to do what it is that you do,

120
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 1: especially those offensive defensive lineman. And it was the first

121
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:08,160
Speaker 1: time that Titus was gonna put shoulder pads on as

122
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:10,720
Speaker 1: an NFL player, that Max was gonna put shoulder pads

123
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:12,920
Speaker 1: and full pads on as NFL players, So there were

124
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 1: some nerves. And what I liked about it though, was

125
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 1: there were times and I spent a lot of time,

126
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 1: like I said, watching no offensive line, and I would

127
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:23,599
Speaker 1: hear Mike Devlin instruct and teach, and I I love

128
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:26,840
Speaker 1: and I told him this, I love watching dev teach

129
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:30,040
Speaker 1: because he DEVI could never be in the radio with us,

130
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:33,159
Speaker 1: because with radio you gotta field time. Right, Dev's like

131
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:36,360
Speaker 1: bang bang bang is concise, Like he's very concise, too

132
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 1: concise for radio, that's right, darn shirt. So I saw

133
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,480
Speaker 1: him and I heard him instruct Titus on a few things.

134
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 1: And then fast forward to Sunday. I saw Titus put

135
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 1: those in action and he had two of the best reps.

136
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 1: I saw him pass protection. He had won at guard

137
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 1: and I'm telling you he and I can't remember the

138
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:59,480
Speaker 1: defensive lineman was, but I watched him and I was

139
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 1: on the side, so I just saw him just strike

140
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:06,359
Speaker 1: and I saw a helmet kind of go backwards, and

141
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 1: I was like, man, he's got some heavy hands. And

142
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 1: he didn't mark, he didn't move like, he didn't move.

143
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 1: It was just like oh, and just like nothing. Then

144
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 1: they switched and they put him at tackle, and it

145
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 1: was it was a faster outside linebacker, Chris Lander, maybe

146
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 1: somebody somebody with some speed. It wasn't It wasn't you

147
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 1: know defense the lineman Russia from down there. It was

148
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 1: outside linebacker, and he danced with him. Just I was like,

149
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 1: WHOA Like the improvement he made from Saturday is Sunday

150
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 1: and taking what what Mike Devlin gave him on Saturday

151
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 1: and struck him on Saturday and putting it to work

152
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 1: on Sunday. That to me is what tells me that

153
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 1: a rookie's got something, that he's got something if he

154
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 1: can be that coachable, that he can apply those things

155
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 1: and absorbed that coaching, and that's what was the key

156
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 1: at the Senior Bowl. He struggled a little bit on

157
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 1: day one, but days two and three, boy, it looked really,

158
00:07:57,960 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 1: really good. By the time he got to the game,

159
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 1: he was even better. It was like taking that coaching

160
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 1: in and getting better and better by the day. That

161
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 1: was huge for him. I thought his two pass rush

162
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 1: reps against a D line yesterday and you linebackers were phenomenal.

163
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 1: They were just excellent. I watched it, I wrote down,

164
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 1: I was like, I kind of had this side relief, like, Okay,

165
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 1: this guy's gonna be a player if he stays healthy,

166
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 1: he's gonna be a player. Good. Well, they drafted him

167
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 1: in the first round and he has to be a

168
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 1: player through his franchise. And you gotta get better, like

169
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 1: you said Bill O'Brien talked about the pad level for

170
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 1: some of the young guys being too high to your

171
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:34,679
Speaker 1: point on day one of padded practice yesterday, getting a

172
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 1: little bit better. He said, it's not an East West

173
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:39,280
Speaker 1: game anymore that they play in college, so much of

174
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 1: that stuff is East west. This is north south. They

175
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:44,680
Speaker 1: want to bludgeon people on occasion, and poked those holes

176
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 1: through the defensive line for the running backs to get through.

177
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 1: Speaking of the running backs, how deep is this group?

178
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:54,839
Speaker 1: Pretty interesting stuff And a little exchange between O'Brien and

179
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:57,960
Speaker 1: the media yesterday and McClain was in the middle of this,

180
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 1: so we'll talk to him about this at eight thirty.

181
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:02,560
Speaker 1: We talked about I think he asked about you know,

182
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 1: who who's who's uh, you know, how's the depth be

183
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 1: on the top two And then O'Brien said, well, who

184
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 1: are the top two? And you guys, well, Miller and

185
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 1: David Bart He said, well, Miller, Miller informant. I'm sorry,

186
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 1: I don't know why I said that, like that running back, Yeah,

187
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:20,960
Speaker 1: they're pretty good. Well let's not do that. Yeah, anyway,

188
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:25,600
Speaker 1: m Miller informan And and he said, well Miller, and

189
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 1: he's he's indicating that there is some depth here and

190
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:31,959
Speaker 1: there is competition. And I think they continue to push

191
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 1: Foreman because look, he hasn't played a bunch and they

192
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 1: wanted to get better at everything, and Miller is a

193
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 1: salty veteran who set it all and as a pro

194
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 1: bowler and is very reliable. Anyway, here's Bill O'Brien on

195
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 1: the running back depth and also depth in general. When

196
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 1: you're looking at a fifty three man roster, you have

197
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 1: first and second down guys, you have your third down guys.

198
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 1: You have some guys that can do a little bit

199
00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 1: of everything. Special teams is a big factor in it

200
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 1: is the guy willing to cover kicks like Taiwan Jones,

201
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 1: Buddy Howell. That's a big deal. You know. You know, guys,

202
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 1: you know when you look at a fifty three man roster,

203
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:14,200
Speaker 1: you know you have certain guys at certain positions that

204
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 1: will be your starters. And with the exception of offensive

205
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:20,120
Speaker 1: line and defensive line and quarterback, probably the rest of

206
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:23,440
Speaker 1: it is is very It's special teams is a major

207
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:27,200
Speaker 1: factor and making a roster, all right, it is, we

208
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 1: all know that. But he mentioned two guys. I mean,

209
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:32,120
Speaker 1: Taiwan Jones has been around the block here, Buddy how

210
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 1: is really good for this team last year after picking

211
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 1: him up following his departure from the Miami Dolphins preseason roster.

212
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 1: So clearly it's going to be a big factor. But

213
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 1: I think you need a one and a two and

214
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 1: then your three can help out on special teams. Really,

215
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 1: maybe they you know, maybe everybody but Miller does somehow,

216
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 1: But Johnny, I find this group rather interesting. I think

217
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 1: they got a lot of a lot of options there.

218
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:00,679
Speaker 1: I use that word maybe too much, but they do.

219
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 1: I think you're gonna have whoever ends up being the

220
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 1: third guy. I'm gonna assume Foreman as a second guy,

221
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:08,720
Speaker 1: but whoever ends up being that third guy is going

222
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:11,400
Speaker 1: to certainly deserve it. I think you're gonna be happy

223
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:13,960
Speaker 1: with him because you have Ferguson has played a little

224
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:17,160
Speaker 1: bit in this league. The Higden Looks who didn't play

225
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:20,320
Speaker 1: in OTA's participate in OTAs or mini camp. Higden looks

226
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:22,440
Speaker 1: interesting out there. You know, they've all done some things

227
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 1: that make you say I could see a fit there.

228
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 1: There's no question every one of them. And I'm glad

229
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 1: that that Bill said Taiwan Jones and Buddy Howe, because

230
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:33,719
Speaker 1: special teams could be, It could be. Not only could be,

231
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 1: but it should be the determining factor they bring in

232
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:38,120
Speaker 1: Buddy last year and he told us, he said, look,

233
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 1: week one I was I got claimed on waivers, so

234
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 1: I wasn't out there for week one. Week two, I

235
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:44,559
Speaker 1: got onto special teams and it was guys like Buddy

236
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 1: how and A. J. Moore and that really they had

237
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:50,440
Speaker 1: an offensive in the defensive position. But in year one

238
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 1: they really took took learning the system. They didn't get

239
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:57,600
Speaker 1: reps on offense or defense. They got every rep on

240
00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 1: special teams and they were incredibly valuable for this team.

241
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 1: So whoever's gonna be number three, maybe even number four,

242
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 1: is gonna have to be somebody that does go on

243
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 1: special teams. If Cron Higden proves something in in these

244
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:13,560
Speaker 1: preseason games like he's shown in the last few days,

245
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:16,440
Speaker 1: if Damara Crockett can do things like he has shown.

246
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:19,840
Speaker 1: If Josh Ferguson continue to show on third downs that

247
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 1: he can be effective, those guys are gonna have to

248
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 1: prove that they can then hold it down on special teams.

249
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:28,120
Speaker 1: How to do it so that they can do more. Look,

250
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 1: if you're if you're looking at spot forty through fifty

251
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:33,440
Speaker 1: three on the roster, or just say forty through forty

252
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 1: six on the roster, you better do more than one thing.

253
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 1: If you're a receiver, you better return. If you're a

254
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 1: running back, you better go down on special teams. If

255
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:44,920
Speaker 1: you're a dB one number. Did you get down on

256
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 1: the fifty three man roster forty? Probably? Well, probably like thirty.

257
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:52,200
Speaker 1: I think thirty the bottom does? I think what the

258
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:55,280
Speaker 1: bottom doesn't? I think even more than that that, you

259
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 1: know what I'm gonna I'm gonna ask Bill O'Brien that

260
00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 1: because I think it's my question. Well, no, I'm just

261
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 1: excluding your claim. I think it's more players than that

262
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:06,240
Speaker 1: where you need that kind of Well, I'm just saying

263
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:08,720
Speaker 1: that defaceted job description. Well, I mean, on a forty

264
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:12,199
Speaker 1: six man roster, you'd like for you'd like for everybody

265
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:15,600
Speaker 1: to do multiple things. You'd like you'd like for that

266
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:19,839
Speaker 1: but the bottom, the bottom twelve of that forty six

267
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:23,240
Speaker 1: had better be able to do multiple things. Yeah not

268
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 1: now you're not kind of your specialists and Kinmi and

269
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,920
Speaker 1: Trevor and Anger and uh and now you're now you're

270
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 1: forty three, right, so peez all right, so you know

271
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:37,000
Speaker 1: we agree because I said thirty and you know we

272
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 1: only go to forty three and he said a dozen.

273
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:40,959
Speaker 1: So we're right there. We're like off by a player.

274
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:44,840
Speaker 1: But also at the running back spot, if you keep four,

275
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:49,160
Speaker 1: is one of them. Gillespia, right, is one of them.

276
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:53,240
Speaker 1: The twelfth man who hey comes in with a lot

277
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:57,000
Speaker 1: of love from the locals and everything, but nothing is guaranteed.

278
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:58,760
Speaker 1: He's the seventh round draft choice. You're gonna have to

279
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:01,360
Speaker 1: go ball out on special team in these preseason games. Well,

280
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:04,079
Speaker 1: the one thing that he did on Saturday better maybe

281
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:06,440
Speaker 1: than any of the running backs pass protect. Oh boy,

282
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 1: he was too big. Because you know he's gonna be

283
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:11,320
Speaker 1: good on special teams. He's got to be me because

284
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:13,200
Speaker 1: you don't play a fullback every single play. Well, so

285
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:14,719
Speaker 1: he's got to be I'll tell you what. Even though

286
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 1: he's not as fast as maybe Higgden or whatever, or

287
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 1: he's a four to five five guy in the forty

288
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 1: he could fly, do you think? All right? So running

289
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:29,880
Speaker 1: back raised Higgden, Gillespia, Crockett. Who's winning Crockett Crockett, but

290
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,280
Speaker 1: Higgett not as fat? All right? So but my point

291
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:35,600
Speaker 1: is this, so never mind all that. Gillespie is a

292
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:37,760
Speaker 1: kind of guy. If he can pass protect that well

293
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 1: and do some damage as a receiver, he could be

294
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:43,440
Speaker 1: a third downback. Yes, I'm not kidding. I'm not. I'm not.

295
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 1: I'm not kidding. You know that's not out of the

296
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 1: realm of possibility. Now, it might not happen, but I'm

297
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:50,000
Speaker 1: just saying that if you can pass protect that well,

298
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 1: third downback has to pass protect because oh, here comes

299
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 1: the blitz. You better go pick him up so I

300
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 1: have extra time to get the ball to Hopkins or

301
00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:58,880
Speaker 1: Fuller or whoever. There's no doubt. And how much was

302
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 1: Colin Gilaspie loved at A and m my buddies at

303
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:06,520
Speaker 1: tex Saggs did a documentary on him. That's why they

304
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 1: were there at the draft party, right right exactly. That's

305
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 1: why they were all kind of video footage of us

306
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:11,720

403
00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:46,960

00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:49,840
Speaker 1: that works. That'll do it. This has been a dirty

405
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:52,400
Speaker 1: dozen with Whitney Merciless. We always appreciate the time. Best

407
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:58,040
Speaker 1: luck in twenty nineteen. Appreciate that well, he clarified that

408
00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:00,879
Speaker 1: it was the ten year old Saints that to him,

409
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:03,440
Speaker 1: and he said, save your pennies. Invest Your ten year

410
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:06,160
Speaker 1: old self isn't gonna say that. My ten year old

411
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:10,280
Speaker 1: self would say to me right now, what happened? I

412
00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:14,240
Speaker 1: thought we were gonna be a rock star? What happened? Actually?

413
00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:16,639
Speaker 1: I wasn't ten when I had that dream? What about

414
00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:18,480
Speaker 1: your ten year old self? I think my ten year

415
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:21,119
Speaker 1: old self would have been, wait a second, you are

416
00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:25,359
Speaker 1: in a football field, but what wait, did you have

417
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:29,080
Speaker 1: a long, illustrious professional playing career now you're a broadcaster. No,

418
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:30,760
Speaker 1: I think that. I think my ten year old self

419
00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:32,120
Speaker 1: would have thought that I would have been a coach

420
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:34,439
Speaker 1: like my dad. Oh I see that. I'll tell you

421
00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:36,840
Speaker 1: all you were so you did that, been there, done that,

422
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:40,400
Speaker 1: so you achieved it. Don't need to do that anymore. See.

423
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:44,000
Speaker 1: I mean, I like those questions. So Whitney is dragon

424
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:46,399
Speaker 1: ball z? I totally get that. Though. About being in

425
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:49,399
Speaker 1: the in the cool air condition meeting, the meeting after

426
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:53,640
Speaker 1: a hot morning practice, I'm sure Johnny, they think about

427
00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:56,920
Speaker 1: everything here. Shouldn't do they get a little nap or something?

428
00:20:57,320 --> 00:21:00,200
Speaker 1: I know I would need one. I know after lunch. Man,

429
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:02,720
Speaker 1: I would need a little nap after that practice. I

430
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:06,560
Speaker 1: need one anyway. Now, I've seen I've seen some players

431
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:08,720
Speaker 1: like walking out of the building almost like right after practice.

432
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:10,960
Speaker 1: So I do think they probably have some time like

433
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:16,560
Speaker 1: right after practice before their meetings started. And let uh listen,

434
00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:20,359
Speaker 1: you're not fresh those those meetings. I'm not just saying

435
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:23,640
Speaker 1: this about the Texans, Texans, Broncos, Saints, wherever you're looking.

436
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:29,479
Speaker 1: Meetings are brutal. They're brutal because what happens is, Okay,

437
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:32,000
Speaker 1: first groups up and you watch that like in the

438
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:34,479
Speaker 1: second issues to happen with us. First group is up

439
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:38,320
Speaker 1: and coach would rewind like eight times for one guy.

440
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:39,760
Speaker 1: That's like, all right, let's go to the next guy.

441
00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:42,199
Speaker 1: He rewind like another eight times. Then we see the

442
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:43,920
Speaker 1: next one, and we did the next one. You get

443
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 1: through one play in like twenty minutes and you had

444
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:49,720
Speaker 1: like fifty plays to watch and like, oh my gosh,

445
00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:51,720
Speaker 1: can we just can we just can we go? Coach?

446
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:56,320
Speaker 1: This is brutal. The meetings get now as a coach, though,

447
00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 1: I love them because that was when you got all

448
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:01,840
Speaker 1: the stuff to the players. As a player, oh just despised.

449
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:06,200
Speaker 1: You have you allegedly have their undivided attention. I would

450
00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:08,560
Speaker 1: rather be out here for three hours if you told

451
00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:12,480
Speaker 1: me you got a ninety minute crisp clean practice, but

452
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:14,320
Speaker 1: then you've got an hour and a half meeting later

453
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:17,359
Speaker 1: versus three hours out here, and it's just brutal. I

454
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:21,520
Speaker 1: take that out here. Most of them would feel that. Well. Absolutely. Well.

455
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:24,120
Speaker 1: Here's the other thing though, with this walkthrough room they

456
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:27,800
Speaker 1: have Okay, that is more of a combination of both,

457
00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:30,320
Speaker 1: right where we could show you what you did on tape,

458
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:33,720
Speaker 1: but it's against this huge wall. It's the size of you,

459
00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:37,720
Speaker 1: and you're standing up information basically, and we're gonna sort

460
00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:40,879
Speaker 1: of correct the moves right now that you need to

461
00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:43,000
Speaker 1: make to get better. And I think that's good because

462
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:45,520
Speaker 1: they're on their feet and everything. That's okay. I can

463
00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:47,720
Speaker 1: live with that. As a player, I can live with

464
00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:52,360
Speaker 1: that because I'm moving, I'm thinking, I'm active. I mean,

465
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:55,880
Speaker 1: I'm fine with that. That I'm okay with. Yeah, Now

466
00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:57,919
Speaker 1: that'll get old after a little bit, especially if you're

467
00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:00,199
Speaker 1: a vet like Wit. I mean, windows this defense like

468
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:02,800
Speaker 1: back of his hand. Yeah, so it's like okay, all right,

469
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:05,800
Speaker 1: you know, but that at least keeps you active, like, Okay,

470
00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:07,520
Speaker 1: what are you gonna show me? Now? Okay, here's the

471
00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:09,000
Speaker 1: Titans in this Look what do we want to do.

472
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:11,359
Speaker 1: That's when you can start the chasings up a little bit.

473
00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:12,840
Speaker 1: And that's for a player. I was like, Okay, you've

474
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:15,080
Speaker 1: got my attention now. But just sitting in a meeting

475
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:20,440
Speaker 1: and coaches just forward back forward, back forward, back, next play,

476
00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:23,280
Speaker 1: that doesn't involve you, right. That's why over the years,

477
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:26,400
Speaker 1: some coaches have tried to make the meetings more entertaining.

478
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:28,359
Speaker 1: Some people have actually gotten in trouble for some of

479
00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:32,480
Speaker 1: the things they've experimented with replacing video with certain other things,

480
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:35,800
Speaker 1: or some coaches have really gotten entertaining and it's worked

481
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:39,359
Speaker 1: very effectively, and they you're very motivational, And yeah, I

482
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:43,359
Speaker 1: think that's where Bill O'Brien. I mean he excels. You know,

483
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:46,240
Speaker 1: that's another area where he can really shine because he

484
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:48,320
Speaker 1: is entertaining. You get him in a room like that

485
00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:51,760
Speaker 1: and it's fun. You know, he's not this dull guy.

486
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:54,680
Speaker 1: He's really a lot of the players have said that

487
00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:57,639
Speaker 1: that his squad meetings are are fun. They kind of

488
00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:00,240
Speaker 1: look forward to them. I would not after a loss,

489
00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:01,720
Speaker 1: but you know what, I'm saying, well, of course, I

490
00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:03,359
Speaker 1: mean I would love to be a defensive lineman to

491
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:05,800
Speaker 1: be in a meeting with Anthony Weaver. But still it

492
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:07,919
Speaker 1: doesn't matter who's up there. I mean, it could be

493
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:10,000
Speaker 1: a Carl Smith. I want to be in that quarterbacks

494
00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:12,159
Speaker 1: room with Carl Smith. It could be the ghost of

495
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:14,439
Speaker 1: Mitch Hemberg up there, who is as funny as can be.

496
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:17,240
Speaker 1: And you're still after fifteen minutes of a meeting, just

497
00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:20,160
Speaker 1: like it. Yeah, I'm done, all right? Coming up, John

498
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:22,439
Speaker 1: mcclaimed from the Houston Chronicle. You've heard of him. He

00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:24,600

500
00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:27,639
Speaker 1: out here in somebody exchanges he's had with coach Bill O'Brien.

501
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:30,639
Speaker 1: And we've got many other things to get to, like

502
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:35,080
Speaker 1: the wide receiver group position breakdown today without rapid fire

503
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:39,480
Speaker 1: and John Harris two sentences and maybe more on each

514
00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:18,040
Speaker 1: right now. Good morning, General, Good morning guys. How are you.

515
00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:20,800
Speaker 1: We're doing so well. I love being outside. Give me

516
00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:23,960
Speaker 1: outside over the bubble any day of the week. Wait

517
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:27,360
Speaker 1: are you being sarcastical? Oh? I love being outside. We're

518
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:31,240
Speaker 1: Football's man to be blat and practiced. Well, yeah, but

519
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:33,720
Speaker 1: how do you have that hat on your head right now?

520
00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:38,760
Speaker 1: Over your He's no, I'm not. I'm asking how have

521
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:40,359
Speaker 1: you done that? Because I gotta figure that out because

522
00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:43,399
Speaker 1: my bucket hat it doesn't work. Work for you. I

523
00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:45,960
Speaker 1: got a big head, so I got a big act. Well,

524
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:48,160
Speaker 1: I got a big head, fits over the head phones,

525
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:51,080
Speaker 1: no problem, Very nice. The only reason I stand up

526
00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:53,600
Speaker 1: in this tent is because the higher I am, the

527
00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:57,320
Speaker 1: more shade I get. I see. So that's how it works.

528
00:25:57,400 --> 00:25:59,960
Speaker 1: Because the sun is still at a steep angle here.

529
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:03,040
Speaker 1: So General, yesterday you were talking to Bill O'Brian about

530
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:05,480
Speaker 1: the running back position and what are your thoughts on

531
00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:07,879
Speaker 1: some of the things he had to say about depth

532
00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:10,560
Speaker 1: and how that group might break down as he gets

533
00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:13,160
Speaker 1: to the fifty three. Well, you guys mentioned it when

534
00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:15,880
Speaker 1: he when I talked to him after the first two,

535
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:19,119
Speaker 1: he goes who were the first two? I said, Miller

536
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:22,479
Speaker 1: and Foreman. He goes Miller. In other words, I mean,

537
00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:24,439
Speaker 1: we all know Deonta Foreman is going to be the

538
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:27,159
Speaker 1: second back, but he's got to earn it. And because

539
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:29,880
Speaker 1: of what he did last season, which was nothing after

540
00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:33,760
Speaker 1: he returned from reab he's got to earn his spot back.

541
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:37,240
Speaker 1: But it's wide open after that. And as O'Brien talked about,

542
00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:42,200
Speaker 1: special teams are essential, Taiwan Jones, who's thirty, he's played

543
00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:47,400
Speaker 1: special teams his entire career. That would seem to benefit him.

544
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:51,160
Speaker 1: I think probably Josh Ferguson when it comes to running

545
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:55,040
Speaker 1: and receiving, is the third best back. But Buddy how

546
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:58,880
Speaker 1: last year was outstanding on special teams and they kept

547
00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:02,560
Speaker 1: him as the fourth back. He's like a luxury Johnson Batimos.

548
00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:06,560
Speaker 1: He doesn't play anything but special teams. And then uh

549
00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:11,440
Speaker 1: uh Karan Higden looked has looked really good to undrafted

550
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:13,920
Speaker 1: back from Michigan. But I think he'd be on a

551
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:17,280
Speaker 1: practice squad at best. But and it wouldn't surprise me

552
00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:21,080
Speaker 1: at some point some guy from another team if they

553
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:24,560
Speaker 1: think there's a back who might be like a scat back,

554
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:27,760
Speaker 1: a really good receiver, if they don't check somebody out

555
00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:31,320
Speaker 1: on another team. I'm not ruling out the fact that

556
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:33,720
Speaker 1: the third back, and I'm counting Buddy HALLI is four

557
00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:37,399
Speaker 1: that the third back is not on another team. The

558
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:41,600
Speaker 1: Riddick who's a really good receiver, He's a possibility. That

559
00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:44,359
Speaker 1: is Sean Pennergat's dream right now to get another Domer

560
00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:46,520
Speaker 1: in here. I mean, he's got Nick Martin, he's got

561
00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:49,480
Speaker 1: Will Fuller, and he's got Anthony Weavers and the line

562
00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:52,920
Speaker 1: coach he wants theo Ritic is that kind of guy, John,

563
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:54,639
Speaker 1: As you mentioned, John, we've been out here for a

564
00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:56,359
Speaker 1: number of days now. I don't know what day it is,

565
00:27:56,600 --> 00:28:01,439
Speaker 1: day five. I guess has anybody is price you relatively speaking?

566
00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:03,359
Speaker 1: I mean, I know, I know you know the roster

567
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:05,359
Speaker 1: before you come to training campus. Anybody surprised you in

568
00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:07,880
Speaker 1: the first couple of days. Well, first of all, watching

569
00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:10,560
Speaker 1: the offensive lineman. We're not going to know anything until

570
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:13,000
Speaker 1: we see them going against the Packers because they don't

571
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:17,159
Speaker 1: go all out and hit each other. But I'm Lonnie

572
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:20,000
Speaker 1: Johnson who got hurt yesterday, and I hope it's not bad.

573
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:23,719
Speaker 1: At an ice pack on his leg he got. He

574
00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:28,000
Speaker 1: gets in receivers faces, including DeAndre Hopkins, and challenges them

575
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:30,800
Speaker 1: on the line. And at six two and two eighteen

576
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:33,560
Speaker 1: or thirteen whatever he is, they're not used to having

577
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:36,680
Speaker 1: a corner who can play being out there. They need

578
00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:39,840
Speaker 1: him desperately, if not to start to come off the

579
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:45,720
Speaker 1: bench and contribute. With Holly Waring being out and Jordan

580
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:50,720
Speaker 1: Thomas now out, Jordan Nakins had a great, great practice yesterday,

581
00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:54,800
Speaker 1: even making one end. It catches like DeAndre Hopkins, and

582
00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:57,440
Speaker 1: I'm writing about him in the tight ends for tomorrow.

583
00:28:57,560 --> 00:29:03,280
Speaker 1: Today I wrote about Titus Howard and yesterday Bradley Roby.

584
00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:06,080
Speaker 1: But I think Agins, who moves all over the place.

585
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:08,960
Speaker 1: He's a big wide receiver, small tight end and the

586
00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:11,800
Speaker 1: ideal h back. They love the fact that he's such

587
00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:14,920
Speaker 1: a good receiver. And as we talk about all the time,

588
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:17,600
Speaker 1: those guys going into their second seasons make the biggest

589
00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:22,520
Speaker 1: improvement mentally and agins. I think he is taking advantage

590
00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:25,280
Speaker 1: of that. Not sure about the running backs, that'll be

591
00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:29,120
Speaker 1: another thing for Green Bay. But the receivers and the

592
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:33,200
Speaker 1: defensive backs, those are the guys we can get a

593
00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:36,680
Speaker 1: better measure of out here. What about the receiver group,

594
00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:38,640
Speaker 1: We're going to break them down at nine o'clock, John,

595
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:41,080
Speaker 1: But who's standing out in your opinion, Names that people

596
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:43,640
Speaker 1: might not necessarily know, or maybe one of the big

597
00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:48,080
Speaker 1: names that's shined for you. The fact that DeAndre Opkins

598
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:51,040
Speaker 1: came out right away was making one end he catches.

599
00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:54,800
Speaker 1: People are always fascinated by that. Every time I look up,

600
00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:58,640
Speaker 1: there's something on the internet. Well, Dell Beckham Junior making

601
00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:02,120
Speaker 1: one hand he catches from a jugs gun, and I'm thinking, Okay,

602
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:04,760
Speaker 1: we know you can do that. We've seen that a

603
00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:08,200
Speaker 1: million times, so show us something else. But you can't

604
00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:10,360
Speaker 1: really do that till in the game. But it was

605
00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:13,000
Speaker 1: great to see him come out here and pick up

606
00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:15,880
Speaker 1: right where he left off. And people forget last year

607
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:19,680
Speaker 1: he played with a I don't know, broken shoulder in

608
00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:22,400
Speaker 1: the second half of that Colts game, but he might

609
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:24,640
Speaker 1: as well have been well, he wasn't a sling, and

610
00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:27,920
Speaker 1: I thought having him out here is like Evan J. J.

611
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:30,960
Speaker 1: Watt on the other side of the ball. One of

612
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:34,120
Speaker 1: the receivers that the coach is like a lot. It's

613
00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:39,520
Speaker 1: an undrafted kid, Tyrn Johnson from Oklahoma State. He first

614
00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:43,479
Speaker 1: got their attention in the offseason program. He's got good size,

615
00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:46,720
Speaker 1: He's good out here. I would think Vincent Smith going

616
00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:50,160
Speaker 1: into his second year, that Vincent would have the inside

617
00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:53,200
Speaker 1: track on the last one. Now they need a slot receiver.

618
00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:56,880
Speaker 1: DeAndre Carter's night out here. I wrote a thing yesterday.

619
00:30:56,880 --> 00:30:59,240
Speaker 1: It's too bad they can't suit up Josh Cribbs to

620
00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:04,240
Speaker 1: be their return guy. With DeAndre Carter, he he is

621
00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:06,920
Speaker 1: the return guy unless somebody else gets that job. But

622
00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:10,040
Speaker 1: I can't wait to see the improvement they'll make on

623
00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:13,640
Speaker 1: special teams with Brad Ceely in his second season. They

624
00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:17,040
Speaker 1: improved in the six major categories last year. And even

625
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:19,200
Speaker 1: though they were better in returns, you'd like to see

626
00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:22,560
Speaker 1: them find a return er, whether it's Carter or somebody else,

627
00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:25,120
Speaker 1: who could be a big enough weapon to improve their

628
00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:29,800
Speaker 1: field position even more. And I think the first four

629
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:33,800
Speaker 1: safeties are set. Barring injury. Those first four going to

630
00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:36,680
Speaker 1: be the two starters Gibson and read the backup be

631
00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:41,200
Speaker 1: Chililla Die and then AJ Moore. O'Brien talks about it

632
00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:44,240
Speaker 1: more without you asking him. Ye, and that's a sign

633
00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:47,760
Speaker 1: he's not only does he work hard and he plays well,

634
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:51,400
Speaker 1: he's great on special teams. So I can say right now,

635
00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:55,720
Speaker 1: I had to do a roster prediction projection last week,

636
00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:59,560
Speaker 1: and I had more penciled in. I was more. I

637
00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:02,800
Speaker 1: was not more confident in any of my fourth picks

638
00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:06,000
Speaker 1: at any position than I was a J. Moore's safety.

639
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:08,560
Speaker 1: It's amazing what he did not special teams last year.

640
00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:11,360
Speaker 1: I mean he was you had s by his name

641
00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:14,200
Speaker 1: because it was Seas of safety, but he really was Stu.

642
00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:16,080
Speaker 1: He was a special team but he's learned the defense,

643
00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:19,520
Speaker 1: he's absorbed the coaching. I mean, I think he's one

644
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:21,400
Speaker 1: of the I don't want to say surprises, but he's

645
00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:23,960
Speaker 1: one of the guys. John, it's definitely flashed. John. You've

646
00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:28,720
Speaker 1: you've seen Bill brian team since twenty fourteen, and there's

647
00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:30,200
Speaker 1: some of the names are the same. But we've talked

648
00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:32,800
Speaker 1: about how the roster has turned over a bunch. Where

649
00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:36,880
Speaker 1: would you put the overall talent level just overall talent

650
00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:40,400
Speaker 1: of this team in twenty nineteen, all things considered, health

651
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:42,719
Speaker 1: being one hundred percent, everybody back in like they're supposed

652
00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:45,160
Speaker 1: to be. What would you say the overall talent level

653
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:47,800
Speaker 1: as compared to other years. They've got the most talent

654
00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:51,560
Speaker 1: they've had with O'Brien, And of course it starts at quarterback.

655
00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:55,120
Speaker 1: I expect Watson to be even better than he was

656
00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:57,480
Speaker 1: last year. And when you think about the circumstances of

657
00:32:57,560 --> 00:33:00,560
Speaker 1: which he played, I thought he had a great season.

658
00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:03,480
Speaker 1: And I tell everybody, I just got off a national

659
00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:06,800
Speaker 1: show telling people, if you're a fantasy player, you better

660
00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:09,080
Speaker 1: take de Shaun Watson. I'm not saying take him over

661
00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:12,720
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes, but after that, I take him over almost anybody.

662
00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:16,480
Speaker 1: And seeing will Fuller out there early, that's got to

663
00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:19,200
Speaker 1: be good for the coaches. Yep. And you hope you

664
00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:22,880
Speaker 1: say two years ago, we're in West Virginia and we

665
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:26,240
Speaker 1: watched Fuller go up, come down on his shoulder, needed surgery.

666
00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:30,600
Speaker 1: Then last year the torn acl against Miami. So if

667
00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:34,240
Speaker 1: when you think about the production, thirteen touchdowns in thirteen

668
00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:38,920
Speaker 1: games with Watson pours an end, what are the possibilities

669
00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:41,720
Speaker 1: if he played sixteen, because he's got a chance to

670
00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:44,959
Speaker 1: get a lot of millions of dollars if he stays healthy.

671
00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:48,200
Speaker 1: And then kikiqt based on what he did in college

672
00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:51,040
Speaker 1: about he was healthy all the times, almost like last

673
00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:54,760
Speaker 1: year was freakish, having those three wide receivers and improved

674
00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:58,040
Speaker 1: Dakins and Thomas Wearing. At some point, I think Wearing

675
00:33:58,040 --> 00:34:00,280
Speaker 1: will be better over the second half of the season.

676
00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:05,000
Speaker 1: The offense can just be tremendous. Well, you mentioned most

677
00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:08,960
Speaker 1: talent under O'Brien. You were talking about the secondary. We

678
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:12,560
Speaker 1: all were moments ago. What about that secondary? This time

679
00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:15,080
Speaker 1: last year we knew that Matthew had joined the team.

680
00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:18,880
Speaker 1: You're hoping Kareem could make a difference as he moves inside,

681
00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:21,279
Speaker 1: playing a little safety, playing a little slot wherever he

682
00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:22,600
Speaker 1: was going to end up, because there were a lot

683
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:24,960
Speaker 1: of different possibilities when we're at the Greenbrier year ago.

684
00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:28,160
Speaker 1: But what about the expectations of that group going in

685
00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:30,560
Speaker 1: versus last year's going in and the way it ended.

686
00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:33,520
Speaker 1: When Clowney reports the Texans will have their front seven

687
00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:36,080
Speaker 1: back intact, I wonder how many teams can say that

688
00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:39,320
Speaker 1: they're great against the run. All those lunch Pale guys

689
00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:43,000
Speaker 1: up front playing with why those guys can play the run.

690
00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:46,120
Speaker 1: They're not pass rushers, but you gotta stop the run,

691
00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:49,680
Speaker 1: and they're gonna have to Whitney Merciless. It needs to

692
00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:52,600
Speaker 1: be put in situations where he can rush the passer.

693
00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:56,280
Speaker 1: They need a third pass rusher, buying White and Clowney.

694
00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:59,080
Speaker 1: With the schedule of quarterbacks coming up over the first

695
00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:02,359
Speaker 1: seven weeks, but if you look at the Texans, you've

696
00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:05,839
Speaker 1: got Colvin coming off a disappointing season. Aaron Wilson has

697
00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:08,440
Speaker 1: a really good story in the Chronicle today and online

698
00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:11,880
Speaker 1: about Colvin saying, I think my ego got in the way,

699
00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:15,879
Speaker 1: and so he Sometimes veterans are like rookies. They need

700
00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:19,520
Speaker 1: that second season in a system, with an organization, with

701
00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:23,040
Speaker 1: coaching staff in a city to really have a chance

702
00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:26,200
Speaker 1: to stand out. Then Bradley Roby admitted he had bad

703
00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:28,799
Speaker 1: games last year in Denver. They didn't want to bring

704
00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:31,719
Speaker 1: him back. Then j Joe at thirty five. That's why

705
00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:34,160
Speaker 1: Lonnie Johnson is the second round picks. Got to stay

706
00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:37,080
Speaker 1: healthy and he's got to get some playing time because

707
00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:40,280
Speaker 1: with one season at a major college, he's way behind

708
00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:43,520
Speaker 1: mentally when it comes to playing in the NFL. But

709
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:47,200
Speaker 1: the safeties are set and you know, over those last

710
00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:49,399
Speaker 1: five games, counting the first half of the Colts game,

711
00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:53,359
Speaker 1: defensive good back bombarded and they know it. And that's

712
00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:56,080
Speaker 1: why they made a lot of changes. And they need

713
00:35:56,080 --> 00:35:58,799
Speaker 1: them to get they need them to get good, and

714
00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:02,040
Speaker 1: they need them to get good fast. Jaw were six

715
00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:04,800
Speaker 1: days away from going to Wisconsin to face the Packers.

716
00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:09,800
Speaker 1: A your level of excitement be outside of just watching

717
00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:12,520
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. What are you most excited for in the

718
00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:15,800
Speaker 1: Texans take all the Packers for two very important practices

719
00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:19,960
Speaker 1: outside of going to the West Coast where the weather

720
00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:23,520
Speaker 1: is incredible, of course, there's no place I'd rather go

721
00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:27,799
Speaker 1: for the Texans training camp than Lambo Field because we

722
00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:30,840
Speaker 1: get to go see the great tradition of which the

723
00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:34,600
Speaker 1: Texans are going to participate in bikes. They're gonna they're

724
00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:37,480
Speaker 1: gonna get the kids bikes and getting their pads and

725
00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:40,319
Speaker 1: helmets to we'll go across the parking lot to the

726
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:44,160
Speaker 1: Don Hudson Center where they practice and and that the

727
00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:48,200
Speaker 1: it's gonna be wild because you think about the waiting

728
00:36:48,239 --> 00:36:50,600
Speaker 1: list they have for tickets up there, like you know,

729
00:36:50,719 --> 00:36:53,480
Speaker 1: five million training camps of the way for a lot

730
00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:56,080
Speaker 1: of those people to get to see their team and

731
00:36:56,239 --> 00:36:59,040
Speaker 1: watching the ones that I really like watching in a

732
00:36:59,160 --> 00:37:04,080
Speaker 1: joint practice, of course, receivers and defensive backs, but pass

733
00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:08,400
Speaker 1: rushers going against the offensive lineman, whether it's white against

734
00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:12,800
Speaker 1: their guys, or we're gonna be watching Titus Howard, Matt Khalil,

735
00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:17,520
Speaker 1: Max sharping, Julian Davenport in his third season. You want

736
00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:20,719
Speaker 1: to see those guys going full speed. That's when this

737
00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:24,160
Speaker 1: time next week, we're gonna know a whole lot more

738
00:37:24,760 --> 00:37:27,040
Speaker 1: a note, let's see, No, we'll just be starting in

739
00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:29,279
Speaker 1: the practice. So at the end of that week, Yeah,

740
00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:31,799
Speaker 1: we're gonna know a whole lot more about what we're

741
00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:34,319
Speaker 1: talking about out here because we see those guys not

742
00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:37,760
Speaker 1: just in the preseason game, but going full speed in practice.

743
00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:41,920
Speaker 1: And I can't wait to watch Rogers and Watson because

744
00:37:42,239 --> 00:37:46,480
Speaker 1: Sean Ryan, the former quarterback coach, said they showed Watson

745
00:37:46,520 --> 00:37:48,360
Speaker 1: a lot of film of a lot of quarterbacks, and

746
00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:51,760
Speaker 1: the one they focused on was Rogers about how great

747
00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:55,120
Speaker 1: he is no matter how he's moving, keeping his eyes

748
00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:58,319
Speaker 1: down the field and as he starts to run, keep

749
00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:01,319
Speaker 1: their eyes down the field until you're at the line

750
00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:04,680
Speaker 1: of screamage. Didn't tuck it and run. Always make them

751
00:38:04,719 --> 00:38:07,160
Speaker 1: think you're going to throw the ball. And that's something

752
00:38:07,239 --> 00:38:09,600
Speaker 1: that Watson's going to get better and better at because

753
00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:12,279
Speaker 1: look how long it took Rodgers. He didn't play his

754
00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:15,319
Speaker 1: first three years and remember when the Texans beat him

755
00:38:15,400 --> 00:38:18,080
Speaker 1: up there on that Chris brown Field goal. So he

756
00:38:18,120 --> 00:38:20,040
Speaker 1: didn't just get to be one of the greatest in

757
00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:22,759
Speaker 1: history overnight. He had to work at it. And that's

758
00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:25,360
Speaker 1: another thing I think that Deshaun Watson is going to

759
00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:29,680
Speaker 1: make remarkable improvement on this year is getting rid of

760
00:38:29,719 --> 00:38:32,560
Speaker 1: the ball quicker. Yeah. Rogers first full season, the Packers

761
00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:35,840
Speaker 1: were six and ten with him at the helm at quarterback.

762
00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:38,239
Speaker 1: Two years later won a Super Bowl. Yeah, I mean,

763
00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:41,000
Speaker 1: so it can change him around very quickly. And you know,

764
00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:45,200
Speaker 1: you think four games flip, it's huge, it's seismic. But

765
00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:47,799
Speaker 1: it's the little things that all add up quick. One

766
00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:51,040
Speaker 1: for you here, John, anything else around the league that's

767
00:38:51,120 --> 00:38:55,000
Speaker 1: jumping out to you right now. The injury to Green

768
00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:58,480
Speaker 1: in Cincinnati that's going to keep him out up to

769
00:38:58,560 --> 00:39:02,200
Speaker 1: two months on a field and Dayton that they were

770
00:39:02,280 --> 00:39:06,040
Speaker 1: doing because the one hundred years celebration that was that

771
00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:09,120
Speaker 1: was terrible for the Bengals. That's the last thing they needed.

772
00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:12,640
Speaker 1: Apparently the field wasn't the cause of the injury, according

773
00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:16,120
Speaker 1: to those who were in attendance. But we'll find out.

774
00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:18,279
Speaker 1: But they said the field was off. The field wasn't.

775
00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:20,920
Speaker 1: This was an hour They couldn't wait to get away

776
00:39:20,920 --> 00:39:22,960
Speaker 1: from there. But they did it for the good of

777
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:25,759
Speaker 1: the league. And then to hold outs all the guys

778
00:39:25,800 --> 00:39:29,279
Speaker 1: who have not reported skill position players and yet you know,

779
00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:33,560
Speaker 1: and got way of Jacksonville. They need Texans need him

780
00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:36,319
Speaker 1: to hold out past the second game. Yea, And I

781
00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:38,719
Speaker 1: think Luck should hold out. Andrews should just sit out

782
00:39:38,719 --> 00:39:40,719
Speaker 1: the season now. He should come in and then leave

783
00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:45,560
Speaker 1: before the seventh game. Yes, maybe just retire watching those

784
00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:48,319
Speaker 1: safety Oh you know, it's gonna be so much fun

785
00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:51,080
Speaker 1: watching the Texans and Cults go at it again. Of course,

786
00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:56,760
Speaker 1: think about those regular find fun shots, regular season games

787
00:39:56,800 --> 00:40:00,680
Speaker 1: that come down to the wire. Yeah, oh yeah, it's

788
00:40:00,719 --> 00:40:02,839
Speaker 1: fun if you win them. I mean the second half

789
00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:06,680
Speaker 1: of the playoff game the Texans play. I'm kidding on

790
00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:09,160
Speaker 1: that one, of course, but both those guys. I look

791
00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:11,560
Speaker 1: for these two teams to be two of the best

792
00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:13,799
Speaker 1: in the AFC. And I look for them to have

793
00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:17,080
Speaker 1: slug fast that are wide open and they're gonna come

794
00:40:17,200 --> 00:40:20,359
Speaker 1: right down to the end, and you guys will be

795
00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:23,680
Speaker 1: standing when you're well, John, you do it anyway. But

796
00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:26,040
Speaker 1: Mark will be on his feet when he's doing the

797
00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:29,080
Speaker 1: end of that game going rock and roll. Yeah, I'm

798
00:40:29,120 --> 00:40:31,600
Speaker 1: off and on my feet during those problems. I hope

799
00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:33,640
Speaker 1: he's going rock and roll at the end of Yeah. Yeah,

800
00:40:33,719 --> 00:40:35,400
Speaker 1: that'd be nice. I don't say rock and roll if

801
00:40:35,400 --> 00:40:38,320
Speaker 1: they lose, uh General. Tomorrow, we're gonna be in the

00:45:57,160 --> 00:45:59,960
Speaker 1: Will Fuller I think he ends up being the key

911
00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:04,759
Speaker 1: to this offense because if if DeAndre Hopkins gives you

912
00:46:04,760 --> 00:46:08,839
Speaker 1: what DeAndre Hopkins has given you, Will Fuller can change

913
00:46:08,880 --> 00:46:12,680
Speaker 1: everything because it puts defenses on notice to say which

914
00:46:12,760 --> 00:46:16,319
Speaker 1: guy you're gonna double who is your focus today? And

915
00:46:16,440 --> 00:46:18,839
Speaker 1: if you're singled up on Will Fuller, he will make

916
00:46:18,880 --> 00:46:21,480
Speaker 1: you pay. Right, you're singled up on Deandrey Hopkins, he

917
00:46:21,480 --> 00:46:24,239
Speaker 1: will make you pay very good. Now you're gonna double up.

918
00:46:24,280 --> 00:46:26,120
Speaker 1: And then you got QT in the slot. And he's

919
00:46:26,200 --> 00:46:28,640
Speaker 1: very dangerous as we've seen. So what about him? Yeah,

920
00:46:28,760 --> 00:46:30,480
Speaker 1: I think the way that he catches the ball. I

921
00:46:30,480 --> 00:46:33,279
Speaker 1: thought it was yesterday he had a drop inside. I

922
00:46:33,360 --> 00:46:35,279
Speaker 1: was like, oh, it was like, whoa, That's just so

923
00:46:35,320 --> 00:46:37,600
Speaker 1: weird to see him do that because he's got such

924
00:46:37,680 --> 00:46:40,400
Speaker 1: great hands. The way that he changes tempos on his

925
00:46:40,680 --> 00:46:45,000
Speaker 1: changes tempo on his routes to get open. It's maestro level.

926
00:46:45,080 --> 00:46:47,640
Speaker 1: Love watching him in the slot. Get any drops out

927
00:46:47,640 --> 00:46:49,560
Speaker 1: of the way now, please, Yeah, this is the time

928
00:46:49,600 --> 00:46:51,880
Speaker 1: to do it and play clean once you get to

929
00:46:51,920 --> 00:46:54,160
Speaker 1: the regular season. So let's go to Vincent Smith. Now,

930
00:46:54,160 --> 00:46:56,640
Speaker 1: I made that huge play against the Eagles. If they

931
00:46:56,640 --> 00:46:58,080
Speaker 1: were able to hold out of that league, that's one

932
00:46:58,120 --> 00:47:00,279
Speaker 1: of the greatest plays in the history of the franchise. Right,

933
00:47:00,440 --> 00:47:02,600
Speaker 1: he can run. He can run every route on the

934
00:47:02,680 --> 00:47:04,879
Speaker 1: route tree. He can run short, intermediate, long, He could

935
00:47:04,880 --> 00:47:07,279
Speaker 1: do all that, he's still you can tell, kind of

936
00:47:07,440 --> 00:47:10,120
Speaker 1: still absorbing the offense, but he knows what to do.

937
00:47:10,160 --> 00:47:13,239
Speaker 1: This year, he's more in tune with where he has

938
00:47:13,280 --> 00:47:16,319
Speaker 1: to be lined up, how he gets himself open. I

939
00:47:16,360 --> 00:47:18,960
Speaker 1: think as the number four receiver, you want to label

940
00:47:18,960 --> 00:47:21,160
Speaker 1: it as such, he's guy. It impacts his team because

941
00:47:21,160 --> 00:47:22,919
Speaker 1: he can play outside, you can move inside a little

942
00:47:22,920 --> 00:47:25,120
Speaker 1: bit if he needed to, if you needed to, hopefully

943
00:47:25,160 --> 00:47:27,439
Speaker 1: you don't. I just think he adds so much because

944
00:47:27,440 --> 00:47:29,080
Speaker 1: he's also going to be a guy on special teams too,

945
00:47:29,080 --> 00:47:31,720
Speaker 1: whether it's return game, whether it's covering kicks and punts, whatever.

946
00:47:32,080 --> 00:47:34,080
Speaker 1: Fitz Smith's gonna be a factor on this team. We've

947
00:47:34,120 --> 00:47:36,600
Speaker 1: talked about these young bucks, these rookies coming in, but

948
00:47:36,640 --> 00:47:39,400
Speaker 1: what about Jester Wiah who ended up on IR last

949
00:47:39,480 --> 00:47:42,319
Speaker 1: year out of pit He's big six three two ten.

950
00:47:42,520 --> 00:47:44,799
Speaker 1: What about him? I think unfortunately at the end of

951
00:47:44,840 --> 00:47:47,080
Speaker 1: training camp last year, he had an injury that kind

952
00:47:47,080 --> 00:47:48,759
Speaker 1: of slowed him now because he was really on the

953
00:47:48,800 --> 00:47:52,080
Speaker 1: same pace with Vincent, and then when we had got hurt,

954
00:47:52,160 --> 00:47:55,120
Speaker 1: it allowed Vincent to kind of step forward. So Jesture's

955
00:47:55,160 --> 00:47:57,720
Speaker 1: trying to make up for that time. But big body

956
00:47:57,800 --> 00:48:00,279
Speaker 1: catches the ball, very nimble on the side line. He

957
00:48:00,320 --> 00:48:01,759
Speaker 1: made a great catching the ends on the other day

958
00:48:01,760 --> 00:48:03,759
Speaker 1: and got both feet in Tony two tapped it for

959
00:48:03,800 --> 00:48:06,480
Speaker 1: a touchdown. He's got a budge of ability, but man,

960
00:48:06,480 --> 00:48:09,319
Speaker 1: it's a really tough position to work into and make

961
00:48:09,440 --> 00:48:10,960
Speaker 1: up that ground with guys that are head of him.

962
00:48:11,239 --> 00:48:14,280
Speaker 1: Stephen Mitchell big play as a passet of Ferren's flag

963
00:48:14,440 --> 00:48:16,719
Speaker 1: was thrown when he was making a play down field

964
00:48:16,800 --> 00:48:19,640
Speaker 1: or trying to last year late in a game. Man,

965
00:48:19,680 --> 00:48:22,279
Speaker 1: what about Mitchell coming into this year? Is he a

966
00:48:22,280 --> 00:48:25,120
Speaker 1: slot guy? I think he ends up being a slot guy.

967
00:48:25,200 --> 00:48:27,160
Speaker 1: He's got the potential when you put him in the

968
00:48:27,280 --> 00:48:29,400
Speaker 1: slot to do a lot of teams do now is

969
00:48:29,440 --> 00:48:31,000
Speaker 1: get a guy in the slot that can fly like

970
00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:32,959
Speaker 1: a Tyreek Hill like the Chiefs dude, and then sending

971
00:48:33,040 --> 00:48:35,120
Speaker 1: him on a slot fade like basically run nine route

972
00:48:35,120 --> 00:48:37,560
Speaker 1: from the slot and he just runs by the safety

973
00:48:37,840 --> 00:48:40,640
Speaker 1: and that's like stealing money. That's what Stevie did last year,

974
00:48:40,680 --> 00:48:42,560
Speaker 1: just ran right by a guy to get that pass

975
00:48:42,600 --> 00:48:45,799
Speaker 1: interference call. He's looked really good in camp, catches the

976
00:48:45,800 --> 00:48:48,680
Speaker 1: ball pretty well, gets himself open. I think you couldn't

977
00:48:48,719 --> 00:48:50,759
Speaker 1: use him outside, even though He's not the biggest guy

978
00:48:50,800 --> 00:48:52,719
Speaker 1: in the world in a pinch, but I think in

979
00:48:52,760 --> 00:48:55,480
Speaker 1: the slot he's very difficult because he runs away from guys,

980
00:48:55,560 --> 00:48:57,120
Speaker 1: gets the ball in his hands. I thought he's really

981
00:48:57,120 --> 00:48:58,640
Speaker 1: good the first two three days of camp, but I

982
00:48:58,640 --> 00:49:01,759
Speaker 1: really focused on the receivers. My camp crush. And it's

983
00:49:01,760 --> 00:49:04,000
Speaker 1: been this way since Ota, so it's been a long crush.

984
00:49:04,080 --> 00:49:07,400
Speaker 1: Tyrand Johnson a rookie from Oklahoma State. What do you

985
00:49:07,520 --> 00:49:10,239
Speaker 1: got on him? He's six one, one ninety five. I'll

986
00:49:10,239 --> 00:49:12,360
Speaker 1: ask him question. I'll answer a question with a question.

987
00:49:12,880 --> 00:49:14,840
Speaker 1: When you are a rookie, what's the one thing that

988
00:49:14,960 --> 00:49:18,360
Speaker 1: you better do every single day you step on this field.

989
00:49:18,560 --> 00:49:21,040
Speaker 1: You better catch the ball, and you better play special team.

990
00:49:21,080 --> 00:49:23,600
Speaker 1: And three you better know what you're doing. Oh, okay, good.

991
00:49:23,600 --> 00:49:25,600
Speaker 1: And as a rookie, is that important? That's a that's

992
00:49:25,600 --> 00:49:28,480
Speaker 1: a challenge. And there were a couple times where Tyrands

993
00:49:28,600 --> 00:49:30,680
Speaker 1: not in the right spot, didn't make the right read.

994
00:49:30,719 --> 00:49:33,640
Speaker 1: He wasn't seeing the same thing as DeShawn did, and

995
00:49:33,719 --> 00:49:35,879
Speaker 1: that was that was a problem because Bradley Robbie ended

996
00:49:35,960 --> 00:49:39,200
Speaker 1: up with an interception. The Tyrant is is really talented.

997
00:49:39,200 --> 00:49:41,960
Speaker 1: You mentioned the size he's got size, he plays outside,

998
00:49:42,080 --> 00:49:44,120
Speaker 1: he catches the ball, and he runs away from guys.

999
00:49:44,400 --> 00:49:46,319
Speaker 1: I think we would have talking more about Tyrn had

1000
00:49:46,320 --> 00:49:48,920
Speaker 1: he either been in Oklahoma State his entire career or

1001
00:49:48,920 --> 00:49:51,560
Speaker 1: state at LSU. Either way, he had a great, a

1002
00:49:51,719 --> 00:49:53,560
Speaker 1: great year at Oklahoma State last year and I really

1003
00:49:53,600 --> 00:49:55,720
Speaker 1: kind of put him on the radar screen for the Texans,

1004
00:49:55,719 --> 00:49:57,160
Speaker 1: and I'm glad he's here because I think he's really

1005
00:49:57,160 --> 00:49:59,000
Speaker 1: gonna be in contention for one of those final receiver

1006
00:49:59,080 --> 00:50:05,600
Speaker 1: spots John Dixon, oh SU and rookie one nine eight,

1007
00:50:05,840 --> 00:50:09,400
Speaker 1: five eleven. He you know, it's funny. He is faster.

1008
00:50:09,640 --> 00:50:13,080
Speaker 1: He's a slot guy, but he's faster than he is quick,

1009
00:50:13,960 --> 00:50:17,360
Speaker 1: and he's pretty cutting. He's pretty quick. But when you

1010
00:50:17,400 --> 00:50:21,280
Speaker 1: talk about like twitchy dudes, like Kiki Qt is twitchy,

1011
00:50:21,320 --> 00:50:24,640
Speaker 1: like you know, that's you know, Johnny's got that, but

1012
00:50:24,719 --> 00:50:26,960
Speaker 1: he's not at the Kiki QT level. And I think

1013
00:50:27,040 --> 00:50:29,279
Speaker 1: that's probably why he ended up not getting drafted. The

1014
00:50:29,320 --> 00:50:31,399
Speaker 1: guy ran a four four so we can run, there's

1015
00:50:31,400 --> 00:50:32,920
Speaker 1: no doubt. And when you see him get the ball,

1016
00:50:32,960 --> 00:50:35,719
Speaker 1: he can run. But what he's gonna have to learn

1017
00:50:35,719 --> 00:50:38,600
Speaker 1: in a quick amount of time and a short amount

1018
00:50:38,640 --> 00:50:40,640
Speaker 1: of time how do I get open in the slot?

1019
00:50:40,800 --> 00:50:42,480
Speaker 1: How do I do that? How do I do it quickly?

1020
00:50:42,719 --> 00:50:45,880
Speaker 1: Even though I'm not the kind of guy, He's got

1021
00:50:45,920 --> 00:50:47,319
Speaker 1: a little bit of that. The way he did that

1022
00:50:47,360 --> 00:50:49,800
Speaker 1: the first time. Yeah, I know, I mean it's exactly

1023
00:50:49,880 --> 00:50:52,480
Speaker 1: It's like the Fairest Bueler thing. But he's got to

1024
00:50:52,560 --> 00:50:54,200
Speaker 1: prove that he can do that to be able to

1025
00:50:54,280 --> 00:50:56,200
Speaker 1: nab one of these slot receiver spots. I know a

1026
00:50:56,200 --> 00:50:58,560
Speaker 1: lot of people have talked about him because he went

1027
00:50:58,600 --> 00:51:01,400
Speaker 1: to High States, so we've seen him. He is dynamic

1028
00:51:01,440 --> 00:51:03,680
Speaker 1: with the ball in his hands, but in the slot,

1029
00:51:03,760 --> 00:51:07,600
Speaker 1: that's a really difficult position to learn as a rookie,

1030
00:51:08,280 --> 00:51:10,680
Speaker 1: and especially when you have a guy like QT already there.

1031
00:51:10,680 --> 00:51:12,200
Speaker 1: I'm excited to see what he does in practice. A

1032
00:51:12,280 --> 00:51:15,200
Speaker 1: green Bay all right, going ocean deep in the wide

1033
00:51:15,200 --> 00:51:19,440
Speaker 1: receiver group here Floyd Alan, rookie from Old Miss. We

1034
00:51:19,480 --> 00:51:22,440
Speaker 1: saw the story about him getting his degree. Great story,

1035
00:51:22,880 --> 00:51:28,200
Speaker 1: what about him? I I love Floyd Allen. I saw

1036
00:51:28,239 --> 00:51:30,359
Speaker 1: that before Floyd Allen even got on the radar screen

1037
00:51:30,400 --> 00:51:32,120
Speaker 1: of at Texans. I saw a video that Old Miss

1038
00:51:32,480 --> 00:51:34,439
Speaker 1: put out when he got a scholarship. He's a walk

1039
00:51:34,440 --> 00:51:36,279
Speaker 1: on player. His story to get to Old Miss is

1040
00:51:36,320 --> 00:51:38,560
Speaker 1: pretty amazing and even to get to hear it's pretty amazing.

1041
00:51:39,000 --> 00:51:41,680
Speaker 1: But how Matt Luke, the head coach Old Miss, gave

1042
00:51:41,719 --> 00:51:44,680
Speaker 1: him as scholarship was really really cool. And what I

1043
00:51:44,760 --> 00:51:47,160
Speaker 1: love about that was I saw the reaction of the

1044
00:51:47,160 --> 00:51:49,880
Speaker 1: old his Old Miss teammates to him getting his scholarship

1045
00:51:49,960 --> 00:51:52,759
Speaker 1: and then Mark, they carried him off the fields like

1046
00:51:52,880 --> 00:51:55,920
Speaker 1: John Madden after winning the Super Bowl. It was unbelievable.

1047
00:51:56,000 --> 00:51:57,400
Speaker 1: And the thing is is you get him out here

1048
00:51:57,400 --> 00:51:58,960
Speaker 1: and you're like, what do you have to lose with

1049
00:51:59,000 --> 00:52:02,200
Speaker 1: a guy that bustes but that has faced adversity, is

1050
00:52:02,239 --> 00:52:05,240
Speaker 1: from Houston, understands what it takes to be a professional,

1051
00:52:05,280 --> 00:52:07,480
Speaker 1: even as a rookie like Anne runs pretty well and

1052
00:52:07,640 --> 00:52:09,840
Speaker 1: catches the ball pretty well. Like it's the guy that

1053
00:52:10,360 --> 00:52:13,040
Speaker 1: you really are taking no risk on. Really there's no

1054
00:52:13,160 --> 00:52:15,319
Speaker 1: risk in Floyd Allen, and every day he just does

1055
00:52:15,360 --> 00:52:17,040
Speaker 1: a little bit more, a little bit more, a little

1056
00:52:17,040 --> 00:52:20,919
Speaker 1: bit more to improve as a football player. I it's

1057
00:52:20,920 --> 00:52:23,640
Speaker 1: gonna be really hard at some point to say, Floyd,

1058
00:52:23,680 --> 00:52:25,040
Speaker 1: we can't put you on this team. But I just

1059
00:52:25,040 --> 00:52:26,640
Speaker 1: think he's gonna be around here in some way, shape

1060
00:52:26,680 --> 00:52:30,480
Speaker 1: or form. Stephen Lewis rookie North Carolina State at six

1061
00:52:30,560 --> 00:52:34,359
Speaker 1: two two fifteen. Man, these guys are big, big receivers.

1062
00:52:34,680 --> 00:52:38,840
Speaker 1: Long arm guy, long arm guy doesn't run exceptionally well.

1063
00:52:39,120 --> 00:52:41,760
Speaker 1: But an outside wide receiver that will go across the middle,

1064
00:52:41,800 --> 00:52:45,439
Speaker 1: that will take the hits. Physical, physical guy, I think

1065
00:52:45,480 --> 00:52:48,520
Speaker 1: because he doesn't have the four four four five speed

1066
00:52:49,040 --> 00:52:51,840
Speaker 1: that you'd really desire, and an outside guy. It's probably

1067
00:52:51,880 --> 00:52:53,719
Speaker 1: why he ended up not being drafted. But you're talking

1068
00:52:53,719 --> 00:52:56,520
Speaker 1: about a physical dude. Now, he is a big, physical

1069
00:52:56,560 --> 00:52:59,680
Speaker 1: wide receiver. What about Chad Hanson who looks like he

1070
00:52:59,680 --> 00:53:02,600
Speaker 1: could be a member of the Hanson family, the Hanson brothers. Yeah,

1071
00:53:02,640 --> 00:53:04,719
Speaker 1: he's six two, about two hundred pounds. I remember seeing

1072
00:53:04,800 --> 00:53:06,640
Speaker 1: him at Cal. He made a lot of acrobatic catches

1073
00:53:06,680 --> 00:53:08,880
Speaker 1: at Cal. Was a track guy in high school I

1074
00:53:08,960 --> 00:53:11,000
Speaker 1: remember correctly. I want to see him. Was a hurdler

1075
00:53:11,080 --> 00:53:14,200
Speaker 1: if I remember correctly. But good, look, you bring a

1076
00:53:14,239 --> 00:53:16,520
Speaker 1: guy in there, compete, go up, get the football on

1077
00:53:16,520 --> 00:53:18,879
Speaker 1: a and if you want on once, get your name

1078
00:53:18,920 --> 00:53:21,160
Speaker 1: out there for the coaching stets say hey, man, we

1079
00:53:22,000 --> 00:53:23,839
Speaker 1: by the way, by the way, how did we get

1080
00:53:23,880 --> 00:53:27,400
Speaker 1: Jet Hanson? What happened? I don't know because there's no

1081
00:53:27,480 --> 00:53:31,320
Speaker 1: general manager, so he just magic, Like like the roster

1082
00:53:31,360 --> 00:53:33,160
Speaker 1: moves they've made him the last week. I think they've

1083
00:53:33,160 --> 00:53:35,239
Speaker 1: just sort of magically happened. I think the league is

1084
00:53:35,280 --> 00:53:38,120
Speaker 1: operating the team actually, so it's just it's one of

1085
00:53:38,200 --> 00:53:40,680
Speaker 1: the David David Stern made that move. Yeah, Yeah, David

1086
00:53:40,719 --> 00:53:44,120
Speaker 1: Stern is taking control. Yeah, so I guess. I guess

1087
00:53:44,120 --> 00:53:46,480
Speaker 1: that's what they're able to make transactions, Johnny, is that

1088
00:53:46,560 --> 00:53:49,040
Speaker 1: still allowed? I guess because that's how chet Hanson got

1089
00:53:49,080 --> 00:53:50,759
Speaker 1: here because he wasn't here to day one, showed up,

1090
00:53:50,800 --> 00:53:53,799
Speaker 1: just drove in. But now he can run a little bit.

1091
00:53:53,840 --> 00:53:57,000
Speaker 1: He's a smooth wide receiver. He had a great, great

1092
00:53:57,080 --> 00:54:00,200
Speaker 1: last year at Cal and just hasn't been able to stick.

1093
00:54:00,560 --> 00:54:02,320
Speaker 1: Some of it's been injuries. I know he had injuries

1094
00:54:02,320 --> 00:54:05,120
Speaker 1: I think early on in his career at Cal. But

1095
00:54:05,480 --> 00:54:08,520
Speaker 1: guy didn't catch anything thrown in his directions. So he's

1096
00:54:08,520 --> 00:54:11,080
Speaker 1: got he's got to do something on special teams to

1097
00:54:11,160 --> 00:54:14,759
Speaker 1: get some really some attention in this wide receiver group.

1098
00:54:14,800 --> 00:54:17,520
Speaker 1: All right, that's a far wide receiver group position breakdown.

1099
00:54:17,560 --> 00:54:20,480
Speaker 1: Thank you Jones for the NFL films music. Did you

1100
00:54:20,480 --> 00:54:22,240
Speaker 1: get all of them? All? Right? Who have I missed.

1101
00:54:22,239 --> 00:54:24,319
Speaker 1: Did I miss anybody? I don't think I missed anybody. No,

1102
00:54:24,520 --> 00:54:29,560
Speaker 1: I might have missed somebody. Just go by number ten, eleven, twelve. Oh,

1103
00:54:29,600 --> 00:54:32,520
Speaker 1: we didn't talk about Deander Carter. Oh, I didn't talk

1104
00:54:32,520 --> 00:54:34,160
Speaker 1: about it because you know why he's not on my

1105
00:54:34,280 --> 00:54:37,640
Speaker 1: numeracle roster because he's hurt right now, he's on the pup.

1106
00:54:38,280 --> 00:54:41,279
Speaker 1: So Carter as a receiver really quick here, this is

1107
00:54:41,640 --> 00:54:46,200
Speaker 1: actually this is a huge situation. Yeah, Carter is your

1108
00:54:46,320 --> 00:54:49,640
Speaker 1: incumbent return guy. Did a really nice job last year,

1109
00:54:50,000 --> 00:54:51,840
Speaker 1: all right, So the question for these other guys is

1110
00:54:52,120 --> 00:54:56,280
Speaker 1: can they take over that backup slot position and return

1111
00:54:56,400 --> 00:54:59,759
Speaker 1: well enough to replace Carter? Or does Carter win the

1112
00:55:00,080 --> 00:55:03,000
Speaker 1: job as backup slot guy, For lack of a better

1113
00:55:03,000 --> 00:55:04,640
Speaker 1: way of putting it, just a you know, fill in

1114
00:55:04,680 --> 00:55:06,640
Speaker 1: wide receiver because he's not gonna be on the field

1115
00:55:06,640 --> 00:55:10,239
Speaker 1: on a regular basis in eleven on eleven regular line

1116
00:55:10,239 --> 00:55:13,880
Speaker 1: of scrimmage play, but special teams wise, do you just

1117
00:55:13,920 --> 00:55:16,040
Speaker 1: go ahead and make that move and keep him because

1118
00:55:16,080 --> 00:55:17,800
Speaker 1: none of these other guys have been able to shine

1119
00:55:17,800 --> 00:55:20,640
Speaker 1: in that department, even though they might be better at

1120
00:55:20,680 --> 00:55:23,279
Speaker 1: receiving than Kim. And I think that ends up being

1121
00:55:23,320 --> 00:55:26,040
Speaker 1: your formula. You just said it is DeAndre Carter a

1122
00:55:26,200 --> 00:55:30,759
Speaker 1: better returner than those guys are slot receivers. You said it,

1123
00:55:30,840 --> 00:55:32,480
Speaker 1: very well, much better than I think. That's the that's

1124
00:55:32,520 --> 00:55:34,360
Speaker 1: probably the formula you're looking at it. We don't and

1125
00:55:34,360 --> 00:55:36,919
Speaker 1: it's too early to tell, right what I think. So yeah,

1126
00:55:37,040 --> 00:55:39,960
Speaker 1: I think with the returnability, you don't. The rookies, you

1127
00:55:39,960 --> 00:55:41,319
Speaker 1: don't know anything. You got to see them in these

1128
00:55:41,320 --> 00:55:43,839
Speaker 1: preseason games. That might not tell you everything you need

1129
00:55:43,880 --> 00:55:45,000
Speaker 1: to know, but it's going to tell you a whole

1130
00:55:45,000 --> 00:55:47,000
Speaker 1: lot more than what you know right now. Yeah, you

1131
00:55:47,120 --> 00:55:49,080
Speaker 1: have to see and you'll start to see a little

1132
00:55:49,080 --> 00:55:50,759
Speaker 1: bit of that, start to see a little bit in

1133
00:55:50,800 --> 00:55:53,959
Speaker 1: practice against the Packers, but really in those preseason games,

1134
00:55:53,960 --> 00:55:55,920
Speaker 1: that's when you start to see it, especially the pond returns.

1135
00:55:55,960 --> 00:56:00,480
Speaker 1: That's that's where he was. So DeAndre was so quick

1136
00:56:00,760 --> 00:56:03,520
Speaker 1: and so crisp and clean with his return game because

1137
00:56:03,560 --> 00:56:05,719
Speaker 1: he caught it and he went and even you know,

1138
00:56:05,719 --> 00:56:07,399
Speaker 1: talking to Brad Seeley about this, and he was talking

1139
00:56:07,400 --> 00:56:09,759
Speaker 1: about Kiki Qt as a rookie. You know, KICKI would

1140
00:56:09,760 --> 00:56:11,439
Speaker 1: get back there and he would fair catch the ball,

1141
00:56:11,719 --> 00:56:14,239
Speaker 1: and Brad Sealey would say, Coach would say to him,

1142
00:56:14,480 --> 00:56:15,919
Speaker 1: why do you fare catch that? And he's like, well,

1143
00:56:15,920 --> 00:56:18,280
Speaker 1: you know, they right here. He guys, Look, it's the NFL.

1144
00:56:18,280 --> 00:56:20,440
Speaker 1: They're gonna be right in front of you, right DeAndre

1145
00:56:20,440 --> 00:56:22,360
Speaker 1: at Carter catches the ball. He has no fear. He

1146
00:56:22,440 --> 00:56:23,920
Speaker 1: has no fear. He can have eight guys around him.

1147
00:56:23,920 --> 00:56:25,600
Speaker 1: He's catch the ball. He's not fair catching that thing.

1148
00:56:25,719 --> 00:56:28,320
Speaker 1: He's gonna catch that ball. He's gonna make something happened.

1149
00:56:28,360 --> 00:56:31,360
Speaker 1: So from that perspective, he gives you a lot in

1150
00:56:31,400 --> 00:56:33,759
Speaker 1: the punt return game. The kick return game is so

1151
00:56:33,840 --> 00:56:37,600
Speaker 1: nebulous now, I mean, it really has become sort of nebulous.

1152
00:56:37,640 --> 00:56:40,040
Speaker 1: But I think as I say that, I started and

1153
00:56:40,120 --> 00:56:44,800
Speaker 1: I watchous, I watched how how we were doing kickoff

1154
00:56:44,840 --> 00:56:47,120
Speaker 1: return and we were working on that in the in

1155
00:56:47,160 --> 00:56:49,200
Speaker 1: the bubble yesterday and the day before that, and I

1156
00:56:49,239 --> 00:56:51,560
Speaker 1: was like, I think there might be more returns ever

1157
00:56:51,760 --> 00:56:54,400
Speaker 1: than than in a long time in the league. In

1158
00:56:54,440 --> 00:56:56,560
Speaker 1: the league, just because teams are gonna get so good

1159
00:56:56,560 --> 00:56:58,880
Speaker 1: at putting that ball right in that costing corner at

1160
00:56:58,920 --> 00:57:02,040
Speaker 1: the one yards. Kickers have to it's a really tough

1161
00:57:02,080 --> 00:57:05,239
Speaker 1: thing to practice because the conditions vary, yes, obviously, and

1162
00:57:05,280 --> 00:57:06,839
Speaker 1: then you don't want to kick it to the ten

1163
00:57:07,360 --> 00:57:09,479
Speaker 1: because now they got a good return going. You gotta

1164
00:57:09,480 --> 00:57:11,720
Speaker 1: get it right at that in that goal line area

1165
00:57:11,920 --> 00:57:15,320
Speaker 1: two yard give take and and really tease and tempt

1166
00:57:15,400 --> 00:57:17,720
Speaker 1: that return. All right, Coming up next Drew Doherty DP

1167
00:57:17,840 --> 00:57:22,040
Speaker 1: CITU their biggest takeaway from yesterday and what they're looking

1168
00:57:22,040 --> 00:57:26,280
Speaker 1: for today. Also, let's hear from some more Texans. I've

1169
00:57:26,280 --> 00:57:30,040
Speaker 1: got two minutes with various Texans, including but not limited to,

1170
00:57:30,160 --> 00:57:32,720
Speaker 1: you did a forty? Who have you? Who's gone weeks

1171
00:57:33,240 --> 00:57:36,320
Speaker 1: and but you did somebody else? Let's hear from Dunny

1172
00:57:36,400 --> 00:57:37,920

00:57:37,960 --> 00:57:40,240
Speaker 1: week progresses, we get a lot of airtime and we'll

1175
00:57:42,440 --> 00:57:44,280
Speaker 1: all of it on Texans Training Camp Live, all of it.

00:57:45,760 --> 00:57:48,919
Speaker 1: They're back in action and you're right there with them.

1177
00:57:50,760 --> 00:57:55,840
Speaker 1: It's Texans Training Camp Live. Yeah, they're doing a lot

1178
00:57:55,840 --> 00:57:58,920
Speaker 1: of work today outside on field three. What does that

1179
00:57:58,960 --> 00:58:00,400
Speaker 1: mean to you? Well, if you've ever been to the

1180
00:58:00,400 --> 00:58:03,680
Speaker 1: Houston Methodist Training Center, the stands are field one and

1181
00:58:03,760 --> 00:58:07,240
Speaker 1: Field three is the farthest one from the stands, and

1182
00:58:07,480 --> 00:58:10,920
Speaker 1: it's busy. That's all I'm gonna tell you it's busy today.

1183
00:58:10,960 --> 00:58:13,640
Speaker 1: We know that Justin Reid suited up today. That's really

1184
00:58:13,640 --> 00:58:17,160
Speaker 1: great to see another day. Day five of Houston Texans

1185
00:58:17,160 --> 00:58:20,200
Speaker 1: training camp and we are in the city of Houston

1186
00:58:20,240 --> 00:58:22,800
Speaker 1: as opposed to the last two years at the Greenbrier,

1187
00:58:22,880 --> 00:58:24,600
Speaker 1: and I'm liking the way they're doing it with this

1188
00:58:24,720 --> 00:58:30,439
Speaker 1: inside outside rotation of things, activating inside and doing their

1189
00:58:30,480 --> 00:58:34,000
Speaker 1: thing right now, the hot sun of the Houston summer.

1190
00:58:34,080 --> 00:58:36,680
Speaker 1: Deep City joins us now Houston Texans dot Com lead

1191
00:58:36,720 --> 00:58:39,520
Speaker 1: writer and Texans TV Texans Radio what's going on? Market

1192
00:58:39,600 --> 00:58:42,040
Speaker 1: hasn't felt bad for day five of training camp. Usually

1193
00:58:42,040 --> 00:58:44,240
Speaker 1: by now we're sort of wearing down pretty quickly. But

1194
00:58:44,480 --> 00:58:47,360
Speaker 1: I think going inside Sunday and then we were inside

1195
00:58:47,360 --> 00:58:50,440
Speaker 1: Friday as well, it really helped the players out. They

1196
00:58:50,520 --> 00:58:52,480
Speaker 1: were going through an acclamation period before they put on

1197
00:58:52,480 --> 00:58:54,120
Speaker 1: the full pads, so they put on the full pads

1198
00:58:54,120 --> 00:58:55,680
Speaker 1: on Saturday. They did that two days in a row.

1199
00:58:55,680 --> 00:58:59,280
Speaker 1: They're back in their shorts and jerseys today, but I think,

1200
00:58:59,600 --> 00:59:01,320
Speaker 1: you know, I expect to see them back inside the

1201
00:59:01,320 --> 00:59:03,920
Speaker 1: bubble again at some point this week, especially not when

1202
00:59:03,920 --> 00:59:05,520
Speaker 1: the fan Probably not when the fans are here, but

1203
00:59:05,600 --> 00:59:08,160
Speaker 1: otherwise maybe Wednesday, and then Thursday is going to be

1204
00:59:08,160 --> 00:59:11,920
Speaker 1: the first open practice, so they obviously will do that outside.

1205
00:59:12,040 --> 00:59:15,560
Speaker 1: And Friday they don't practice. Friday is a player's day off,

1206
00:59:15,600 --> 00:59:17,880
Speaker 1: Saturday they practice, and Sunday they leave for Green Bay. Yeah.

1207
00:59:17,920 --> 00:59:19,880
Speaker 1: You know, it's like almost as if you could see

1208
00:59:19,920 --> 00:59:26,080
Speaker 1: the light at the end of the tunnel already for them. No, no, no, okay, Well, Johnny,

1209
00:59:26,120 --> 00:59:30,400
Speaker 1: think about this day off Tomorrow, practice, practice, day off, Friday, practice, Saturday,

1210
00:59:30,520 --> 00:59:32,720
Speaker 1: then travel Sunday. They'll do something on Sunday, but it's

1211
00:59:32,760 --> 00:59:35,080
Speaker 1: not available to the media. But Johnny, we do little

1212
00:59:35,120 --> 00:59:38,000
Speaker 1: lily pads, you see, because you've got the first open practice,

1213
00:59:38,160 --> 00:59:40,400
Speaker 1: then you've got travel for the travel for Green Bay.

1214
00:59:40,760 --> 00:59:44,080
Speaker 1: A lily pad. We got a little landing spots. This

1215
00:59:44,200 --> 00:59:47,040
Speaker 1: is the longest stretch of practices you're gonna have right now,

1216
00:59:47,080 --> 00:59:49,040
Speaker 1: these first five. I don't want to get out of rhythm, man,

1217
00:59:49,040 --> 00:59:50,520
Speaker 1: I want to get out of rhythm. I want to

1218
00:59:50,520 --> 00:59:52,440
Speaker 1: just stok in like a true coach. I don't want

1219
00:59:52,440 --> 00:59:54,240
Speaker 1: to get out of rhythm, but I want to say that.

1220
00:59:54,640 --> 00:59:57,760
Speaker 1: I hope I'm not outing him, but Kubiak, I this

1221
00:59:57,880 --> 01:00:01,040
Speaker 1: this day off after five days thing vironment I don't

1222
01:00:01,080 --> 01:00:03,360
Speaker 1: know if he only did that, like I think he

1223
01:00:03,400 --> 01:00:05,200
Speaker 1: went like six or seven and then said, all right,

1224
01:00:05,240 --> 01:00:07,360
Speaker 1: now it's a time for a day off. I remember

1225
01:00:07,400 --> 01:00:10,560
Speaker 1: feeling exhausted covering kuby X training campist because we also

1226
01:00:10,720 --> 01:00:14,000
Speaker 1: used to cover the afternoon practice inside the bubble and

1227
01:00:14,040 --> 01:00:17,240
Speaker 1: everybody was standing up sleeping. I felt like everyone was

1228
01:00:17,240 --> 01:00:20,520
Speaker 1: standing there but their eyes players. Well, that was yeah,

1229
01:00:20,600 --> 01:00:22,680
Speaker 1: he did a two a day like that, and it

1230
01:00:22,760 --> 01:00:25,000
Speaker 1: was a soft two a day. It was a special

1231
01:00:25,040 --> 01:00:28,440
Speaker 1: teams in the afternoon, but you know, they saw press conferences,

1232
01:00:28,640 --> 01:00:30,840
Speaker 1: you still interviewed players. It was the whole shebang all

1233
01:00:30,880 --> 01:00:32,560
Speaker 1: over again in a few hours. They did not spend

1234
01:00:32,600 --> 01:00:35,120
Speaker 1: as much time in pads at a Kubiak training camp. Okay,

1235
01:00:35,120 --> 01:00:37,680
Speaker 1: there's that difference. There's there's a big difference there, and

1236
01:00:37,920 --> 01:00:41,960
Speaker 1: O'Brien has really obviously he's changed. Everybody remembers practice one

1237
01:00:42,000 --> 01:00:45,040
Speaker 1: of year one of O'Brien's fourteen huge two and a

1238
01:00:45,120 --> 01:00:48,720
Speaker 1: half hour practice followed by gassers well as opposed to

1239
01:00:48,760 --> 01:00:52,360
Speaker 1: this year. Warm up inside, come outside maybe an hour

1240
01:00:52,400 --> 01:00:54,320
Speaker 1: and a half. It's not like a country club, don't

1241
01:00:54,320 --> 01:00:56,760
Speaker 1: get me wrong, but it's a lot different than he

1242
01:00:57,040 --> 01:00:59,200
Speaker 1: was and he's learned over the years. They did do

1243
01:00:59,200 --> 01:01:01,360
Speaker 1: at a few sprints inside the other day, which I

1244
01:01:01,600 --> 01:01:07,800
Speaker 1: haven't seen in a while. Those aren't those quotes, But

1245
01:01:07,920 --> 01:01:09,720
Speaker 1: what ends up happening is you look next to you,

1246
01:01:09,880 --> 01:01:12,200
Speaker 1: and especially if you're a d lineman and you see JJ,

1247
01:01:12,400 --> 01:01:14,760
Speaker 1: JJ's just striding, but your defense, you're trying to keep

1248
01:01:14,840 --> 01:01:17,280
Speaker 1: up with them, so you're going nearly full speed just

1249
01:01:17,400 --> 01:01:19,840
Speaker 1: to prove that, like you're in the vicinity, like when

1250
01:01:19,840 --> 01:01:22,600
Speaker 1: you're JJ and JJ's just like, yeah, you're a little

1251
01:01:22,680 --> 01:01:24,400
Speaker 1: kid trying to keep up with your big brother and

1252
01:01:24,480 --> 01:01:27,480
Speaker 1: you have to take twice as many steps exactly, that's

1253
01:01:27,480 --> 01:01:31,640
Speaker 1: exactly literal. We literally were a country club last year. Yeah, well,

1254
01:01:31,680 --> 01:01:34,200
Speaker 1: well we literally, but they were. I mean, I don't

1255
01:01:34,200 --> 01:01:36,920
Speaker 1: want to misrepresent what they were going through because that

1256
01:01:37,080 --> 01:01:39,880
Speaker 1: football facility was across the street. It was all business

1257
01:01:40,000 --> 01:01:42,920
Speaker 1: over there, and they stayed in rooms at the resort.

1258
01:01:43,040 --> 01:01:46,680
Speaker 1: But hey, it's it was not exactly a vacation for them, No,

1259
01:01:46,800 --> 01:01:49,280
Speaker 1: it wasn't. They were all together, that was the difference.

1260
01:01:49,320 --> 01:01:52,120
Speaker 1: But they couldn't leave. You know, you're together, you don't

1261
01:01:52,160 --> 01:01:53,920
Speaker 1: have you can't just go out and hang out with

1262
01:01:54,000 --> 01:01:56,200
Speaker 1: your friends or your family on the weekend. You it

1263
01:01:56,240 --> 01:01:58,360
Speaker 1: was all football all the time. That's a great point.

1264
01:01:58,440 --> 01:02:00,920
Speaker 1: I wanted to ask O'Brian about the bonding part of it,

1265
01:02:01,120 --> 01:02:04,240
Speaker 1: and I did ask Brandon done about that. He said,

1266
01:02:04,240 --> 01:02:06,040
Speaker 1: we still get plenty of bonding done. Don't worry about

1267
01:02:06,320 --> 01:02:09,880
Speaker 1: they're together and all. They're here very late every day. Yeah,

1268
01:02:10,120 --> 01:02:12,440
Speaker 1: you know, it's long, long training camp days for them.

1269
01:02:12,560 --> 01:02:15,120
Speaker 1: I went in one day. I can't remember which day

1270
01:02:15,120 --> 01:02:16,760
Speaker 1: it was, but I went in to get a drink

1271
01:02:16,760 --> 01:02:18,280
Speaker 1: because I was down in the studio and I wanted

1272
01:02:18,320 --> 01:02:22,040
Speaker 1: to get a drink. And I walked into cafeteria and

1273
01:02:22,160 --> 01:02:24,240
Speaker 1: there's cooler in the back that's got water, and so

1274
01:02:24,360 --> 01:02:26,280
Speaker 1: I went. I opened the door and I walked in

1275
01:02:26,920 --> 01:02:28,600
Speaker 1: and our cafeteria is a little smarter than it was

1276
01:02:28,640 --> 01:02:34,040
Speaker 1: because it did all the renovation. Every every seat had

1277
01:02:34,040 --> 01:02:37,840
Speaker 1: a player in it, and it was just loud chattering

1278
01:02:37,920 --> 01:02:40,240
Speaker 1: there and that I was like kind of warm the

1279
01:02:40,280 --> 01:02:41,920
Speaker 1: cockles of my heart. I was like, this is kind

1280
01:02:41,960 --> 01:02:43,600
Speaker 1: of great. I mean, this is that's where I mean.

1281
01:02:43,680 --> 01:02:45,760
Speaker 1: It was like, you know, in the lunch periods where

1282
01:02:45,800 --> 01:02:48,280
Speaker 1: guys are just you know, jabbing at each other, they're together.

1283
01:02:48,480 --> 01:02:50,280
Speaker 1: It wasn't like they were just all sitting over their food,

1284
01:02:50,320 --> 01:02:52,080
Speaker 1: like not saying it was loud, it was chatt I

1285
01:02:52,120 --> 01:02:53,919
Speaker 1: mean it was really It was really cool to see

1286
01:02:54,040 --> 01:02:57,360
Speaker 1: so that they're still having those moments. They might be different.

1287
01:02:57,440 --> 01:02:59,440
Speaker 1: You're not going from room to room or in the

1288
01:02:59,480 --> 01:03:02,479
Speaker 1: hotel and you know, playing games, but you're spending thirty

1289
01:03:02,560 --> 01:03:05,480
Speaker 1: forty five minutes, you know, at lunch together, at dinner together,

1290
01:03:05,520 --> 01:03:07,640
Speaker 1: and doing those things I think are pretty special. dB

1291
01:03:07,760 --> 01:03:09,840
Speaker 1: best interview on the team that people don't know about.

1292
01:03:09,920 --> 01:03:12,120
Speaker 1: Give me a couple of guys that I've interviewed me

1293
01:03:12,240 --> 01:03:14,720
Speaker 1: so far. Yeah, that you've enjoyed talking to that people

1294
01:03:14,840 --> 01:03:16,960
Speaker 1: might not. They might not be aware that this guy

1295
01:03:17,040 --> 01:03:18,880
Speaker 1: is really great to talk to and a good talker

1296
01:03:18,920 --> 01:03:21,160
Speaker 1: in general. I mean, I've enjoyed. I haven't had too

1297
01:03:21,200 --> 01:03:24,120
Speaker 1: many interviews, but I've interviewed. I interviewed Jordan Aikins yesterday.

1298
01:03:24,160 --> 01:03:26,400
Speaker 1: He's a pretty quiet guy and I was pleasantly surprised

1299
01:03:26,440 --> 01:03:28,760
Speaker 1: he's he's got a good sense of humor. I asked

1300
01:03:28,840 --> 01:03:31,200
Speaker 1: him about him and Jordan Thomas and all the nicknames

1301
01:03:31,240 --> 01:03:33,600
Speaker 1: peanut Butter and Jelly, Lightning and thunder. He broke down

1302
01:03:33,640 --> 01:03:36,640
Speaker 1: who was whom and all those scenarios. There's no question

1303
01:03:36,760 --> 01:03:39,680
Speaker 1: that George Thomas is thunder, that's true. But peanut butter

1304
01:03:39,800 --> 01:03:43,360
Speaker 1: and jelly, I thought, is Aikins. Aikins said, I'm not

1305
01:03:43,400 --> 01:03:45,400
Speaker 1: the jelly, he is the jelly. I am all peanut

1306
01:03:45,440 --> 01:03:48,960
Speaker 1: butters on Really, yeah, that would make sense. It does

1307
01:03:49,200 --> 01:03:52,080
Speaker 1: it make if everybody wants the personality. Think it's not

1308
01:03:52,160 --> 01:03:53,760
Speaker 1: a caliber of play kind of thing. No, no, no,

1309
01:03:54,000 --> 01:03:57,040
Speaker 1: when I think of when I think of when I

1310
01:03:57,120 --> 01:04:01,960
Speaker 1: think of peanut butter, it's just smooth, reliable, dependable. That's

1311
01:04:02,040 --> 01:04:04,840
Speaker 1: Jordan Nakins and jelly is uh, you got all these

1312
01:04:04,920 --> 01:04:07,400
Speaker 1: different flavors. You know, you can do a lot of

1313
01:04:07,440 --> 01:04:11,320
Speaker 1: different things with jelly. It's sometimes depending on the jelly

1314
01:04:11,400 --> 01:04:14,560
Speaker 1: you get. It may not be man at orange marmalade

1315
01:04:14,600 --> 01:04:17,080
Speaker 1: just wasn't good, but man a raspberries. So, but Johnny

1316
01:04:17,120 --> 01:04:19,640
Speaker 1: to your point, Jordan Nakins is very versatile. I think

1317
01:04:19,680 --> 01:04:21,560
Speaker 1: he used in a lot of different ways. So maybe

1318
01:04:21,600 --> 01:04:24,240
Speaker 1: he is peanut butter on toast. You could put peanut

1319
01:04:24,280 --> 01:04:29,200
Speaker 1: butter on an English muffled crackers. Wait, wait crackers, qiom crackers,

1320
01:04:29,280 --> 01:04:33,160
Speaker 1: Quickpole creamy, creamy, yeah, I gotta be creamy. Well, also

1321
01:04:33,200 --> 01:04:36,080
Speaker 1: with Jordan Nakins. We talked about their chemistry with Deshaun

1322
01:04:36,120 --> 01:04:38,240
Speaker 1: Watson and he had a great day of practice yesterday.

1323
01:04:38,240 --> 01:04:39,920
Speaker 1: I feel like he made a couple of plays that

1324
01:04:40,000 --> 01:04:42,520
Speaker 1: wowed everybody inside the bubble. He had a long catch

1325
01:04:42,600 --> 01:04:44,440
Speaker 1: for a first down, then he followed up with a touchdown.

1326
01:04:44,480 --> 01:04:47,240
Speaker 1: He did a little turf angel in the end zone.

1327
01:04:47,320 --> 01:04:50,120
Speaker 1: I mean, they're having fun out there. And Deshaun had

1328
01:04:50,160 --> 01:04:52,440
Speaker 1: talked about how the chemistry had improved with him in

1329
01:04:52,480 --> 01:04:54,760
Speaker 1: the tight ends because they worked together off the field,

1330
01:04:55,160 --> 01:04:57,560
Speaker 1: and Aikins said they would do things like go bowling,

1331
01:04:57,920 --> 01:05:00,320
Speaker 1: they'd go out to eat. Deshaun would invite everyone to

1332
01:05:00,440 --> 01:05:02,800
Speaker 1: his house. I don't know if that includes the wide

1333
01:05:02,840 --> 01:05:04,240
Speaker 1: receivers as well as the tight ends, or if you

1334
01:05:04,280 --> 01:05:05,760
Speaker 1: did it by a position group. I think that might

1335
01:05:05,840 --> 01:05:08,000
Speaker 1: be a deep sink with Deshaun at some point. How

1336
01:05:08,040 --> 01:05:10,080
Speaker 1: do you you can't invite everybody over? Or do you

1337
01:05:10,160 --> 01:05:12,880
Speaker 1: invite everybody over? And he said that really builds trust,

1338
01:05:12,960 --> 01:05:16,040
Speaker 1: because you know, you wonder how does bowling with your

1339
01:05:16,120 --> 01:05:18,320
Speaker 1: quarterback help you get better on the field. Instead of

1340
01:05:18,400 --> 01:05:20,760
Speaker 1: just builds that trust, I think it also helps you anticipate,

1341
01:05:21,160 --> 01:05:22,920
Speaker 1: you know, get to know someone you have to anticipate

1342
01:05:23,000 --> 01:05:25,560
Speaker 1: instincts a lot of times in this game, and you

1343
01:05:25,680 --> 01:05:28,240
Speaker 1: can tell. And also, these these tight ends look good

1344
01:05:28,280 --> 01:05:30,640
Speaker 1: in year one, but they've really taken it to the

1345
01:05:30,720 --> 01:05:34,000
Speaker 1: next level this offseason. So if they can stay healthy

1346
01:05:34,040 --> 01:05:35,880
Speaker 1: and on the field and keep doing what they're doing,

1347
01:05:36,080 --> 01:05:38,120
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm expecting big things from that group. Well,

1348
01:05:38,120 --> 01:05:39,400
Speaker 1: I think the one thing that you get when you

1349
01:05:39,520 --> 01:05:42,120
Speaker 1: have that synergy and that chemistry as you're talking about,

1350
01:05:42,400 --> 01:05:46,640
Speaker 1: and I think that's huge, is you see things through

1351
01:05:46,680 --> 01:05:49,520
Speaker 1: the same set of eyes without having to say anything.

1352
01:05:50,080 --> 01:05:52,600
Speaker 1: So if you're Jordan Nakins and you're going and you

1353
01:05:52,640 --> 01:05:55,160
Speaker 1: know you're you're kind of, you know, attached to the line,

1354
01:05:55,160 --> 01:05:57,480
Speaker 1: you kind of slide motion like he does sometimes, and

1355
01:05:57,640 --> 01:06:00,440
Speaker 1: you see people moving the secondary without even looking back

1356
01:06:00,480 --> 01:06:02,680
Speaker 1: at the Sean. You have an idea because the two

1357
01:06:02,800 --> 01:06:04,880
Speaker 1: you've talked about it, you worked on it in practice.

1358
01:06:05,120 --> 01:06:06,800
Speaker 1: You don't have to turn to Sean go hey, Sean,

1359
01:06:06,880 --> 01:06:08,480
Speaker 1: here's that coverage. You know, as you're going and you

1360
01:06:08,480 --> 01:06:11,120
Speaker 1: know it's like you know, you know, you're on that

1361
01:06:11,280 --> 01:06:13,360
Speaker 1: same page together. Then when you get on the sidelines,

1362
01:06:13,360 --> 01:06:14,959
Speaker 1: it's like you see it, Yeah, I saw it. Okay,

1363
01:06:15,680 --> 01:06:17,520
Speaker 1: you know, it's like me and my best friend Monica,

1364
01:06:17,600 --> 01:06:19,560
Speaker 1: we hang out so much together that I could just

1365
01:06:19,560 --> 01:06:21,080
Speaker 1: look at her across the room and I knew exactly

1366
01:06:21,120 --> 01:06:23,160
Speaker 1: what she's thinking. It's like they have to be friends

1367
01:06:23,200 --> 01:06:25,320
Speaker 1: off the field and then on the field. I mean,

1368
01:06:25,360 --> 01:06:28,360
Speaker 1: I know, that's exactly what it's like. It's not exactly

1369
01:06:28,400 --> 01:06:30,240
Speaker 1: like that. Like when you have a radio host emen

1370
01:06:30,320 --> 01:06:32,640
Speaker 1: doing something for six years and he only gives you

1371
01:06:32,720 --> 01:06:36,480
Speaker 1: two sentences to answer a question. I mean, yeah, that's

1372
01:06:36,560 --> 01:06:41,240
Speaker 1: exactly like I'm going to use that during the broadcast.

1373
01:06:41,400 --> 01:06:44,680
Speaker 1: Watsonto Hopkins, just like DP and Monica at a party?

Speaker 1: with his questions of the day for Texans training camp.

1409
01:08:29,840 --> 01:08:32,000
Speaker 1: Good morning. We all have them, some more than others.

1410
01:08:32,080 --> 01:08:34,200
Speaker 1: Camp crushes. I got one early on and I just

1411
01:08:34,320 --> 01:08:37,799
Speaker 1: need you guys to fill me in on this. Xavier Woodson,

1412
01:08:37,960 --> 01:08:41,479
Speaker 1: luster out of Arkansas State. Last two days. I'm telling you,

1413
01:08:41,880 --> 01:08:44,639
Speaker 1: I'm telling you you number fifty six in your numeric

1414
01:08:45,240 --> 01:08:47,240
Speaker 1: roster if you're having to look it up. Guys kind

1415
01:08:47,240 --> 01:08:48,960
Speaker 1: of stuck out a little bit in one on one drill,

1416
01:08:49,040 --> 01:08:52,679
Speaker 1: specifically in coverage. Don't know about him on special teams.

1417
01:08:53,080 --> 01:08:55,280
Speaker 1: Tell me about this guy fellas well the first day

1418
01:08:55,320 --> 01:08:57,320
Speaker 1: that they were in pads. Yeah, probably one of the

1419
01:08:57,880 --> 01:08:59,519
Speaker 1: probably one of the bigger hits of the day on

1420
01:08:59,600 --> 01:09:03,040
Speaker 1: one of the running backs, very quick, a guy that

1421
01:09:03,520 --> 01:09:05,800
Speaker 1: you know. I think we're gonna start seeing in the

1422
01:09:05,960 --> 01:09:10,120
Speaker 1: NFL fewer guys that look like b Mac at inside linebacker.

1423
01:09:10,200 --> 01:09:12,200
Speaker 1: What I mean by that is six three, two fifty,

1424
01:09:12,360 --> 01:09:14,240
Speaker 1: you know, the Ted Johnson types. I think We're gonna

1425
01:09:14,240 --> 01:09:16,719
Speaker 1: see fewer and fewer of those guys because the colleges

1426
01:09:16,720 --> 01:09:18,240
Speaker 1: aren't grown him that way. I mean, look at how

1427
01:09:18,240 --> 01:09:21,759
Speaker 1: the tight end position has developed, and it's developed because

1428
01:09:22,400 --> 01:09:26,360
Speaker 1: of how the colleges are using him. Now. College in

1429
01:09:26,400 --> 01:09:28,439
Speaker 1: a little bit of an anomaly because San Diego State

1430
01:09:28,520 --> 01:09:31,559
Speaker 1: was a lot of twenty one personnel or even twelve

1431
01:09:31,600 --> 01:09:33,680
Speaker 1: personnel where they used the tight end a lot, and

1432
01:09:33,720 --> 01:09:35,320
Speaker 1: so they had in line tight ends. So he's a

1433
01:09:35,320 --> 01:09:37,400
Speaker 1: little anomaly. But most of the tight ends are two

1434
01:09:37,439 --> 01:09:41,760
Speaker 1: thirty five through forty point being Xavier is six one,

1435
01:09:41,840 --> 01:09:43,920
Speaker 1: two twenty. He's not a big dude, but you talk

1436
01:09:43,920 --> 01:09:46,560
Speaker 1: about can run, Oh, we can get up and go.

1437
01:09:46,840 --> 01:09:48,880
Speaker 1: It's weird to see the number fifty six as well,

1438
01:09:49,040 --> 01:09:52,040
Speaker 1: and to see a fifty six that's that much smaller

1439
01:09:52,120 --> 01:09:54,599
Speaker 1: than the other fifty six was. Yeah, Cushing still looks

1440
01:09:54,600 --> 01:09:56,200
Speaker 1: like he's wearing pads. By the way. You get a

1441
01:09:56,439 --> 01:09:59,400
Speaker 1: T shirt, I know, and you just they're not gonna

1442
01:09:59,439 --> 01:10:02,200
Speaker 1: be They're not gonna be made that way anyway. I mean,

1443
01:10:02,320 --> 01:10:05,320
Speaker 1: Rokan Smith, you know, drafted six foot two thirty eight.

1444
01:10:05,560 --> 01:10:07,439
Speaker 1: You know the two Devons that were drafted this year.

1445
01:10:07,520 --> 01:10:10,040
Speaker 1: Devin you know, White with the Tampa was six one,

1446
01:10:10,240 --> 01:10:14,000
Speaker 1: two forty and he was big. Devin Bush was five eleven,

1447
01:10:14,120 --> 01:10:17,320
Speaker 1: two thirty five. You're talking about smaller guys, but can run.

1448
01:10:17,360 --> 01:10:19,760
Speaker 1: You have to run. That's what he can do. He

1449
01:10:20,000 --> 01:10:22,160
Speaker 1: can fly to the football. So I'm excited to see

1450
01:10:22,160 --> 01:10:25,080
Speaker 1: who does these preseason practices. That's where I think, really

1451
01:10:25,120 --> 01:10:27,320
Speaker 1: he can start to shine see a different group if

1452
01:10:27,400 --> 01:10:29,000
Speaker 1: he's done a little bit out here, like okay, got

1453
01:10:29,040 --> 01:10:31,519
Speaker 1: the coach's attention. Now what do you do against the packers?

1454
01:10:31,760 --> 01:10:33,960
Speaker 1: If you show that same thing, also, it's like, okay, hey,

1455
01:10:34,040 --> 01:10:36,080
Speaker 1: let's get him some reps with the twos. Let's get him,

1456
01:10:36,320 --> 01:10:38,120
Speaker 1: you know, some reps in our subpackers, just to see

1457
01:10:38,160 --> 01:10:41,120
Speaker 1: what it looks like. And you start earning more reps

1458
01:10:41,240 --> 01:10:43,320
Speaker 1: day after day. You never know what can happen. That's

1459
01:10:43,320 --> 01:10:47,280
Speaker 1: why these preseason games, he's a These are monumentally important

1460
01:10:47,320 --> 01:10:49,719
Speaker 1: for guys like that who will eventually make your team,

1461
01:10:49,840 --> 01:10:52,519
Speaker 1: maybe the Dylan Coles of the world, people like that

1462
01:10:52,840 --> 01:10:54,639
Speaker 1: who can make a difference for you to come regular

1463
01:10:54,680 --> 01:10:57,600
Speaker 1: season time. Twenty years from now, JJ Watt will be

1464
01:10:57,760 --> 01:11:01,360
Speaker 1: doing blank. You know, a lot of people think politics,

1465
01:11:01,720 --> 01:11:04,519
Speaker 1: A lot of people think he's popular enough to really

1466
01:11:04,640 --> 01:11:07,639
Speaker 1: make strides in that area. But the thing is about

1467
01:11:07,760 --> 01:11:10,599
Speaker 1: that is you start dividing people instantly when you pick

1468
01:11:10,600 --> 01:11:12,880
Speaker 1: a side, pick a party. I don't know if he's

1469
01:11:12,920 --> 01:11:16,720
Speaker 1: going to be into that. I do believe this, he

1470
01:11:16,840 --> 01:11:18,720
Speaker 1: will be making a difference even if he's in the

1471
01:11:18,880 --> 01:11:25,360
Speaker 1: entertainment world. His charitable contributions will be so large that

1472
01:11:25,960 --> 01:11:29,000
Speaker 1: it might even overshadow whatever else he does. I think,

1473
01:11:29,080 --> 01:11:31,160
Speaker 1: and I'm not just talking about money, I'm talking about

1474
01:11:31,280 --> 01:11:34,559
Speaker 1: doing things. He loves making a difference. The foundation has

1475
01:11:34,600 --> 01:11:37,160
Speaker 1: made a difference in these high schools with the athletic programs,

1476
01:11:37,320 --> 01:11:40,000
Speaker 1: and he sees what Harvey, what that fund has done,

1477
01:11:40,280 --> 01:11:44,679
Speaker 1: and he clearly has the capability of raising large amounts

1478
01:11:44,720 --> 01:11:46,519
Speaker 1: of money and he wants to put it to work.

1479
01:11:46,520 --> 01:11:48,439
Speaker 1: He's been very transparent about it. If you have any

1480
01:11:48,520 --> 01:11:51,519
Speaker 1: questions about where JJ's money, JJ's money, where the money

1481
01:11:51,600 --> 01:11:53,920
Speaker 1: is gone that was funneled through JJ to Harvey, go

1482
01:11:54,080 --> 01:11:56,479
Speaker 1: to the pin tweet at the top of his feed

1483
01:11:56,800 --> 01:11:59,160
Speaker 1: and he lays it all out there for you. I think, Johnny,

1484
01:11:59,200 --> 01:12:01,439
Speaker 1: it's hard to predict right now. What do you think

1485
01:12:01,880 --> 01:12:04,080
Speaker 1: he's going to be the athletic director at the University

1486
01:12:04,080 --> 01:12:07,000
Speaker 1: of Wisconsin. He's gonna do more than that. I'm not

1487
01:12:07,120 --> 01:12:10,080
Speaker 1: saying that he's not. No, I'm saying what you said. Yes,

1488
01:12:10,720 --> 01:12:13,240
Speaker 1: he will continue to be an ambassador for the NFL.

1489
01:12:13,360 --> 01:12:15,519
Speaker 1: He will continue to do all the things that you

1490
01:12:15,640 --> 01:12:17,599
Speaker 1: just spoke of. He will continue to raise money through

1491
01:12:17,640 --> 01:12:21,719
Speaker 1: his foundation. But the University of Wisconsin means a lot,

1492
01:12:22,280 --> 01:12:24,360
Speaker 1: a lot to that guy. And I can see the

1493
01:12:24,479 --> 01:12:28,640
Speaker 1: university when in what twenty years, twenty years from now

1494
01:12:28,720 --> 01:12:32,360
Speaker 1: saying look, we JJ, we need you as the face

1495
01:12:32,560 --> 01:12:37,799
Speaker 1: of this athletic department. You know, I thought, listen, athletic

1496
01:12:37,840 --> 01:12:41,679
Speaker 1: directors in college are more business people anyways. Yeah, they're

1497
01:12:41,760 --> 01:12:44,400
Speaker 1: more business oriented anyways. And so why not have a

1498
01:12:44,439 --> 01:12:48,160
Speaker 1: guy that understands business, has a lot of contacts, was

1499
01:12:48,240 --> 01:12:51,560
Speaker 1: highly successful at that university. He can raise money for

1500
01:12:51,600 --> 01:12:53,720
Speaker 1: the university, he can raise money through his foundation. So

1501
01:12:53,840 --> 01:12:55,479
Speaker 1: a lot of things that he could do, I say,

1502
01:12:55,520 --> 01:12:58,120
Speaker 1: Athletic director, University of Wisconsin. Well, you know what else

1503
01:12:58,240 --> 01:13:01,960
Speaker 1: is interesting his relationship with paid Manning, Because I think

1504
01:13:02,080 --> 01:13:04,719
Speaker 1: that's gonna have some not influenced, but in some input.

1505
01:13:04,840 --> 01:13:06,400
Speaker 1: It'll be a great guy to talk to you about

1506
01:13:06,439 --> 01:13:09,479
Speaker 1: what to do. I can't see JJ being maybe he

1507
01:13:09,520 --> 01:13:12,120
Speaker 1: would be a regular commentator, But you know how Manning's

1508
01:13:12,160 --> 01:13:14,559
Speaker 1: not letting himself be tied down to any one thing.

1509
01:13:14,640 --> 01:13:16,760
Speaker 1: He's keeping his options open. JJ will be there for

1510
01:13:16,760 --> 01:13:19,320
Speaker 1: at least a while following playing all right. Speaking of

1511
01:13:19,400 --> 01:13:22,400
Speaker 1: JJ and Wisconsin, he posted a picture of his dogs

1512
01:13:22,479 --> 01:13:25,280
Speaker 1: the other day and his dog is named Finley, after

1513
01:13:25,400 --> 01:13:29,320
Speaker 1: Michael Finley, former Wisconsin and Dallas Maverick basketball player. If

1514
01:13:29,360 --> 01:13:31,400
Speaker 1: you guys can name your dog or maybe you have

1515
01:13:32,040 --> 01:13:35,360
Speaker 1: after any athlete, who would it be? Okay, So I'll

1516
01:13:35,360 --> 01:13:37,720
Speaker 1: tell you a quick story on this. We got our

1517
01:13:37,760 --> 01:13:39,519
Speaker 1: first dog. My wife and I've been married for three

1518
01:13:39,600 --> 01:13:41,559
Speaker 1: or four years, and I was so excited, like we're

1519
01:13:41,560 --> 01:13:43,519
Speaker 1: getting a Golden Retriever. I was so excited, We're gonna

1520
01:13:43,520 --> 01:13:45,439
Speaker 1: golden Retriever. And my wife said, yes, we're getting a

1521
01:13:45,439 --> 01:13:47,759
Speaker 1: Golden Retriever. And that dog's name is gonna be Maddie,

1522
01:13:48,000 --> 01:13:49,840
Speaker 1: named after Matiste the artist. And I was like, I

1523
01:13:49,880 --> 01:13:51,920
Speaker 1: don't even get a say in this. Yeah, so my

1524
01:13:52,000 --> 01:13:54,960
Speaker 1: wife has named dogs after artists because she is one,

1525
01:13:55,280 --> 01:13:57,000
Speaker 1: and I got no, I got no saying it. So

1526
01:13:57,840 --> 01:14:01,519
Speaker 1: you got Rembrandt, you got Chical, you got Picasso, you

1527
01:14:01,600 --> 01:14:03,519
Speaker 1: got a lot of options. There's a lot of different options.

1528
01:14:03,600 --> 01:14:09,720
Speaker 1: But I if I were to name it after an athlete, well, well,

1529
01:14:09,760 --> 01:14:11,320
Speaker 1: Philly is a good one. I mean, that's like a

1530
01:14:11,479 --> 01:14:14,120
Speaker 1: that's like the perfect Come on, who is it, Johnny,

1531
01:14:14,720 --> 01:14:18,000
Speaker 1: spit of it? I got one Padilla. I'm gonna name

1532
01:14:18,040 --> 01:14:21,280
Speaker 1: my dog Padilla after Edgar Padilla, the point guard on

1533
01:14:21,439 --> 01:14:26,400
Speaker 1: the nineteen ninety five ninety six you mass Minuteman, Carmelo

1534
01:14:26,439 --> 01:14:28,720
Speaker 1: Treviso and him, and I loved Edgar Padilla. He was

1535
01:14:28,880 --> 01:14:31,240
Speaker 1: so you know, he wasn't There was a lot of

1536
01:14:31,400 --> 01:14:33,840
Speaker 1: thought going into that season that can he handle it?

1537
01:14:33,960 --> 01:14:36,599
Speaker 1: Can he handle the job? And he hits some big

1538
01:14:36,760 --> 01:14:40,040
Speaker 1: shots for that team, and he wasn't a huge assist guy,

1539
01:14:40,120 --> 01:14:42,080
Speaker 1: but he did doll it out. He was smart. He

1540
01:14:42,120 --> 01:14:44,240
Speaker 1: gave the ball to Marcus Canby, but I love him.

1541
01:14:44,360 --> 01:14:46,839
Speaker 1: And that would be when they beat Georgetown with Tella Harrington,

1542
01:14:46,880 --> 01:14:49,479
Speaker 1: Allen Iverson, Jerome Williams. I remember that. Oh he we

1543
01:14:49,560 --> 01:14:51,559
Speaker 1: got the tape in the we got to the audio

1544
01:14:51,640 --> 01:14:54,080
Speaker 1: tape of play by play call over the studio. I

1545
01:14:54,120 --> 01:14:58,960
Speaker 1: thought of mine, I would name him Tebow. Okay, Tebow

1546
01:14:59,000 --> 01:15:02,559
Speaker 1: the terrier. That's that's the easy way out right, easy

1547
01:15:02,640 --> 01:15:06,439
Speaker 1: way out because he's from Jack going to criticized Tebow?

1548
01:15:06,479 --> 01:15:09,960
Speaker 1: What am I gonna do criticized Tebow? Everybody criticizes Tebow.

1549
01:15:10,120 --> 01:15:12,840
Speaker 1: I loved when Doug Flutie played for BC that they

1550
01:15:12,880 --> 01:15:14,600
Speaker 1: put a little dog on the sideline and then he

1551
01:15:14,680 --> 01:15:16,439
Speaker 1: had a little sign on the side of him saying

1552
01:15:16,520 --> 01:15:18,880
Speaker 1: dog Flutie. I thought that was pretty funny. All right.

1553
01:15:18,920 --> 01:15:22,519
Speaker 1: You guys mentioned Brian Cushing earlier. Obviously we see Andre

1554
01:15:22,640 --> 01:15:24,880
Speaker 1: Johnson out there doing his thing. They've both dipped their

1555
01:15:24,880 --> 01:15:28,200
Speaker 1: toes into coaching. What active player on the Texans could

1556
01:15:28,240 --> 01:15:31,120
Speaker 1: you see? Most likely? It could be players most likely

1557
01:15:31,240 --> 01:15:34,160
Speaker 1: pursuing coaching after they retire from the NFL. Well, one

1558
01:15:34,160 --> 01:15:36,519
Speaker 1: of them is very very easy, very easy. And I

1559
01:15:36,600 --> 01:15:38,639
Speaker 1: think we, I mean we almost could say this used

1560
01:15:38,680 --> 01:15:40,280
Speaker 1: and I think Jjo would be one hell of a coach.

1561
01:15:40,400 --> 01:15:42,679
Speaker 1: Jjo could be a coach this year and be tremendous.

1562
01:15:42,720 --> 01:15:45,720
Speaker 1: I mean, uh, you know, Midge and Danton Lynn do

1563
01:15:45,800 --> 01:15:48,360
Speaker 1: a great job in secondary, but I mean Jjo could

1564
01:15:48,360 --> 01:15:51,719
Speaker 1: be a coach tomorrow. I mean that's he'd be. He'd

1565
01:15:51,760 --> 01:15:55,439
Speaker 1: be phenomenal. Uh So he's he's kind of the the

1566
01:15:56,439 --> 01:16:00,280
Speaker 1: easy answer. I guess if you will. I think about coaching,

1567
01:16:00,320 --> 01:16:04,080
Speaker 1: I think about the offensive line. Yeah, Nick Martin, I

1568
01:16:04,160 --> 01:16:06,560
Speaker 1: think yeah, Nick, Nick would make would make you know

1569
01:16:07,000 --> 01:16:10,840
Speaker 1: Greg Mans Yeah, Greg Mans. I mean he's a guy

1570
01:16:10,880 --> 01:16:12,840
Speaker 1: that gets people hyped. They all talk about he gets

1571
01:16:12,840 --> 01:16:16,040
Speaker 1: people by He is really, really smart. He knows every

1572
01:16:16,080 --> 01:16:19,080
Speaker 1: position up and down the offensive line. He's got He's

1573
01:16:19,080 --> 01:16:21,160
Speaker 1: got away with guys where he can jab a little bit,

1574
01:16:21,280 --> 01:16:23,240
Speaker 1: but you know that he cares for you. I would say,

1575
01:16:23,280 --> 01:16:26,639
Speaker 1: I would say Greg Manz on the D line, I'll

1576
01:16:26,680 --> 01:16:30,160
Speaker 1: go Joel Heath. Okay, I know you might not expect that,

1577
01:16:30,360 --> 01:16:32,679
Speaker 1: but you talked to Joel and you see it. I'll

1578
01:16:32,720 --> 01:16:35,080
Speaker 1: tell you a former player just left the team this offseason,

1579
01:16:35,160 --> 01:16:37,400
Speaker 1: Ryan Griffin. We had him at food ruck We had

1580
01:16:37,479 --> 01:16:40,080
Speaker 1: him at food Ruckers once during a Texans players show,

1581
01:16:40,120 --> 01:16:42,320
Speaker 1: and he talked about wanting to coach. He talked about

1582
01:16:42,760 --> 01:16:45,320
Speaker 1: that's what he wants to do. So some guys have

1583
01:16:45,400 --> 01:16:48,360
Speaker 1: it laid out for them that way. But it's if

1584
01:16:48,439 --> 01:16:50,439
Speaker 1: you told me ten years ago, hey, Mark in ten

1585
01:16:50,520 --> 01:16:54,360
Speaker 1: years Brian Cushing, t J. Yates, all right, ten years

1586
01:16:54,479 --> 01:16:56,840
Speaker 1: is too long ago for that. Eight years ago, t J.

1587
01:16:57,080 --> 01:17:01,320
Speaker 1: Yates Andrey Johnson you know, Team Dent was barely a

1588
01:17:01,360 --> 01:17:04,559
Speaker 1: blip back then on anybody's Texans radar. But you think

1589
01:17:04,560 --> 01:17:06,680
Speaker 1: about that, that those guys are involved in the mix

1590
01:17:06,840 --> 01:17:09,880
Speaker 1: right now. Coaching, I would have said, really, I don't

1591
01:17:09,960 --> 01:17:12,600
Speaker 1: see it quite, but there it is right there for you.

1592
01:17:12,840 --> 01:17:15,559
Speaker 1: All right. We are six weeks away from the home opener.

1593
01:17:15,720 --> 01:17:17,920
Speaker 1: You believe that six weeks from today we'll be preparing

1594
01:17:18,320 --> 01:17:21,719
Speaker 1: or not the home opener. The open the home openers

1595
01:17:21,720 --> 01:17:24,760
Speaker 1: out still six weeks, six weeks. That's the thing about

1596
01:17:24,800 --> 01:17:26,800
Speaker 1: opening camp on a Thursday and you don't play until

1597
01:17:26,800 --> 01:17:29,400
Speaker 1: Monday night. That you you didn't put a dent in it,

1598
01:17:29,720 --> 01:17:32,679
Speaker 1: you know, I like it when camp opens and that's

1599
01:17:32,720 --> 01:17:36,880
Speaker 1: six weeks, six weeks from the opener. Yeah. At New Orleans,

1600
01:17:37,000 --> 01:17:41,559
Speaker 1: New Orleans cuisine underrated, overrated, take that well, we love

1601
01:17:41,680 --> 01:17:44,840
Speaker 1: Dragos Landry and we love going to have those Charles

1602
01:17:44,880 --> 01:17:48,200
Speaker 1: grilled oysters. Tommy Satanovich and his crew do a great

1603
01:17:48,280 --> 01:17:50,639
Speaker 1: job at Dragos. I'll give them a little plug right here.

1604
01:17:51,120 --> 01:17:55,160
Speaker 1: But I you know, they have great food in New Orleans.

1605
01:17:55,240 --> 01:17:57,479
Speaker 1: There's no doubt. I don't think you could beat the

1606
01:17:57,640 --> 01:18:00,479
Speaker 1: variety of Houston. Though, when you look at all the

1607
01:18:00,520 --> 01:18:04,400
Speaker 1: different options, you know, because the barbecue and the Texamax

1608
01:18:04,479 --> 01:18:08,320
Speaker 1: and then sometimes it's blended together, and why not. It's

1609
01:18:08,360 --> 01:18:11,240
Speaker 1: almost in anything goes mentality and Chris Shephard, by the way,

1610
01:18:11,240 --> 01:18:13,360
Speaker 1: I have a podcast with Chris Shephard up on iTunes

1611
01:18:13,439 --> 01:18:16,160
Speaker 1: right now. Vander Mair's view, he is fascinating how he

1612
01:18:16,240 --> 01:18:18,720
Speaker 1: got into this whole thing and what motivates him. And

1613
01:18:18,920 --> 01:18:21,080
Speaker 1: it applies to every business, every walk of life. So

1614
01:18:21,240 --> 01:18:23,840
Speaker 1: check it out. I think that he's kind of influenced

1615
01:18:23,880 --> 01:18:26,320
Speaker 1: some of the higher end restaurants, no doubt, but maybe

1616
01:18:26,360 --> 01:18:29,599
Speaker 1: everybody to a degree of Hey, anything goes, It's all

1617
01:18:29,600 --> 01:18:31,880
Speaker 1: about the ingredients. Let's be creative. So I got him

1618
01:18:31,880 --> 01:18:35,360
Speaker 1: down for overrated. I'm putting Vandy down for here's what

1619
01:18:35,360 --> 01:18:40,280
Speaker 1: I would say Landry New Orleans food. What what New

1620
01:18:40,400 --> 01:18:46,280
Speaker 1: Orleans does, what they do is better than anything. They

1621
01:18:46,360 --> 01:18:48,880
Speaker 1: do their own things, Like what they do for their thing,

1622
01:18:49,680 --> 01:18:52,280
Speaker 1: you don't find it anywhere else, but they do their thing.

1623
01:18:52,880 --> 01:18:55,840
Speaker 1: They're they're not gonna be the Swiss Army Knife. They're

1624
01:18:55,840 --> 01:18:57,840
Speaker 1: not gonna be the Taysom Hill, if you will, where

1625
01:18:57,840 --> 01:18:59,920
Speaker 1: they can do a lot of different things, whereas used to.

1626
01:19:00,000 --> 01:19:01,760
Speaker 1: He's got variety like, hey, you want text, Mexic got

01:19:06,640 --> 01:19:08,160
Speaker 1: we got that for you too. You go to New

1630
01:19:08,240 --> 01:19:11,519
Speaker 1: Orleans and it's like their their Cajun seafood? Would they do?

1631
01:19:11,920 --> 01:19:14,439
Speaker 1: They do better than anybody? All that? Can I interest

1632
01:19:14,439 --> 01:19:15,680
Speaker 1: you guys in the stat I say this is a

1633
01:19:15,720 --> 01:19:17,360
Speaker 1: lot on the show. You know that the New Orleans

1634
01:19:17,439 --> 01:19:19,519
Speaker 1: Saints have actually because I know that's a tough task.

1635
01:19:19,640 --> 01:19:21,120
Speaker 1: I know New Orleans is a good team. I know

1636
01:19:21,200 --> 01:19:23,240
Speaker 1: the Texans got there, got their work cut out for him.

1637
01:19:23,560 --> 01:19:26,599
Speaker 1: The Saints have lost their last five season openers. Yeah,

1638
01:19:26,800 --> 01:19:30,360
Speaker 1: why but they've lost their last five season openers. Can

1639
01:19:30,400 --> 01:19:32,640
Speaker 1: you guys tell me who the last coach was that

1640
01:19:32,880 --> 01:19:35,280
Speaker 1: beat Sean Payton and Drew Brees and a season opener?

1641
01:19:35,600 --> 01:19:39,439
Speaker 1: So five years ago would have been twenty I can't

1642
01:19:39,479 --> 01:19:42,479
Speaker 1: remember the openers, so would have been a thirty twenty

1643
01:19:42,760 --> 01:19:47,920
Speaker 1: thirteen year. How about let's go for NFC give Ron Rivera. No,

1644
01:19:48,080 --> 01:19:49,600
Speaker 1: he was a taste. He was the toast of the

1645
01:19:49,720 --> 01:19:52,920
Speaker 1: NFL for one year and it only lasted for one year.

1646
01:19:54,320 --> 01:19:56,519
Speaker 1: The coach was the toast of the toast of he

1647
01:19:56,640 --> 01:20:00,240
Speaker 1: was gonna change the game, chip Kelly in the goals

1648
01:20:00,280 --> 01:20:02,840
Speaker 1: were the last team? Is that really the opener? They

1649
01:20:02,880 --> 01:20:07,320
Speaker 1: were the last team to lose today, Yeah, thirteen because

1650
01:20:07,640 --> 01:20:09,560
Speaker 1: we were doing the Monday night second hand of that

1651
01:20:09,640 --> 01:20:13,280
Speaker 1: double header. That was a Monday night game, was it not? Okay? Yeah,

1652
01:20:13,400 --> 01:20:16,040
Speaker 1: because we were out in San Diego the Saints one game.

1653
01:20:16,200 --> 01:20:18,120
Speaker 1: Saints won that game, and it was like, oh, Chip

1654
01:20:18,240 --> 01:20:19,760
Speaker 1: Kelly this, Chip Kelly that, and then it was like

1655
01:20:19,920 --> 01:20:22,080
Speaker 1: then the Eagles took off. Then Foles had a tremendous

1656
01:20:22,160 --> 01:20:24,920
Speaker 1: year that year, twenty seven and two. Looking forward to

1657
01:20:25,000 --> 01:20:27,080
Speaker 1: your program today. Oh, thank you all very much. Thanks

1658
01:20:27,120 --> 01:20:30,000

1659
01:20:30,160 --> 01:20:32,360
Speaker 1: so in just a few moments here from the field

1660

Speaker 1: to the Houston Methodist Training Center you can listen to

1661
01:20:34,840 --> 01:20:36,640
Speaker 1: him and Johnny, I'll tell you I'd much rather be

1662
01:20:36,720 --> 01:20:40,920
Speaker 1: in that Monday night opening doubleheader early game than the

1663
01:20:41,120 --> 01:20:44,800
Speaker 1: late game. This is Look, the schedules brutal, we all

1664
01:20:44,880 --> 01:20:46,640
Speaker 1: know it. But as far as travel goes for a

1665
01:20:46,680 --> 01:20:50,000
Speaker 1: primetime situation, you're playing at six o'clock in New Orleans.

1666
01:20:50,280 --> 01:20:52,200
Speaker 1: So the game will end, you'll be back in your

1667
01:20:52,320 --> 01:20:55,639
Speaker 1: jommis by midnight on a short week to get ready

1668
01:20:55,640 --> 01:20:57,880
Speaker 1: for a division opponent Jacksonville here, and who knows how

1669
01:20:57,920 --> 01:21:01,840
Speaker 1: good they're gonna be Foles. You look at some of

1670
01:21:01,920 --> 01:21:05,360
Speaker 1: the coverage of Jags camp. They like the way Foles looks.

1671
01:21:05,400 --> 01:21:07,880
Speaker 1: It's not playing portals, throwing five picks in practice or

1672
01:21:07,880 --> 01:21:09,880
Speaker 1: anything like that. What have you been hearing? Well, it's

1673
01:21:09,960 --> 01:21:12,880
Speaker 1: interesting because you know, I follow every every team on Twitter.

1674
01:21:12,920 --> 01:21:14,800
Speaker 1: I know you do as well, But when you read,

1675
01:21:15,280 --> 01:21:17,800
Speaker 1: you know, thinks from various writers. I mean, every single

1676
01:21:17,840 --> 01:21:19,720
Speaker 1: team is going to the super Bowl. It feels like, yeah,

1677
01:21:19,720 --> 01:21:21,360
Speaker 1: of course as you as you read about each one

1678
01:21:21,400 --> 01:21:23,240
Speaker 1: of them, but yeah, I get that feeling like I

1679
01:21:23,360 --> 01:21:26,760
Speaker 1: listened to I kind of when when anything happens with Jacksonville,

1680
01:21:27,320 --> 01:21:30,000
Speaker 1: I'm like, what did Jalen say? I didn't even know

1681
01:21:30,120 --> 01:21:34,360
Speaker 1: what Jalen said because I based everything on what Jalen said.

1682
01:21:34,600 --> 01:21:37,160
Speaker 1: So when they asked him about Nick Foles the other day, like, hey,

1683
01:21:37,400 --> 01:21:39,840
Speaker 1: how is Nick making you guys better than the secondary?

1684
01:21:40,240 --> 01:21:43,080
Speaker 1: Jalen kind of waited and then his answer was kind

1685
01:21:43,120 --> 01:21:47,240
Speaker 1: of like, yeah, you know, so I kind of based

1686
01:21:47,320 --> 01:21:51,439
Speaker 1: my answer off of that, Like I'm going if Jaalen said, oh,

1687
01:21:51,760 --> 01:21:55,040
Speaker 1: he's MVP candidate, man, I would have that would have

1688
01:21:55,080 --> 01:21:57,200
Speaker 1: been a little different. The way that he talks about

1689
01:21:57,240 --> 01:22:00,600
Speaker 1: the shan not the way he's talking about falls. So

1690
01:22:01,360 --> 01:22:04,600
Speaker 1: you know, we'll see. But look, falls in Philadelphia was

1691
01:22:04,720 --> 01:22:10,639
Speaker 1: completely and totally different because he had so much talent

1692
01:22:10,720 --> 01:22:13,000
Speaker 1: around him. The offensive line was much better than what's

1693
01:22:13,040 --> 01:22:16,000
Speaker 1: in Jacksonville. Jackson's line is pretty good. The wide receivers

1694
01:22:16,040 --> 01:22:19,400
Speaker 1: and skill players are light years ahead, so Foles can

1695
01:22:19,479 --> 01:22:21,280
Speaker 1: lean on those guys. Hey, Zeckert's go get open and

1696
01:22:21,280 --> 01:22:23,080
Speaker 1: get and I'll get the ball to you and I'll

1697
01:22:23,120 --> 01:22:25,280
Speaker 1: be protected to throw to you. I mean, all those

1698
01:22:25,439 --> 01:22:28,639
Speaker 1: things he had in Philadelphia. He does not have those

1699
01:22:28,640 --> 01:22:33,560
Speaker 1: advantages in Jacksonville. What was the last time he successfully

1700
01:22:33,640 --> 01:22:39,200
Speaker 1: carried the team for an entire season? That he would say,

1701
01:22:40,040 --> 01:22:42,600
Speaker 1: they caught everybody by surprise, and everybody caught up with

1702
01:22:42,680 --> 01:22:45,160
Speaker 1: them very quickly. And John McClain mentioned it, you know

1703
01:22:45,800 --> 01:22:49,000
Speaker 1: of Tennessee. I saw James Walmers tweet the other day

1704
01:22:49,000 --> 01:22:51,920
Speaker 1: about Mike Rabel talking about Derrick Henry's lower leg injury,

1705
01:22:51,960 --> 01:22:54,120
Speaker 1: and John said he's in a boot. But I had

1706
01:22:54,160 --> 01:22:55,960
Speaker 1: seen the video of a. J. Brown, the rookie receiver,

1707
01:22:56,120 --> 01:22:57,680
Speaker 1: is probably gonna play in the slot that they need

1708
01:22:57,760 --> 01:23:00,360
Speaker 1: to have. This year came up lame after a one

1709
01:23:00,720 --> 01:23:03,280
Speaker 1: one route and I can't remember what it was. So

1710
01:23:03,600 --> 01:23:05,840
Speaker 1: this is when things start to pile up, the injuries,

1711
01:23:05,960 --> 01:23:08,400
Speaker 1: and you know, I think the other big thing around

1712
01:23:08,439 --> 01:23:11,720
Speaker 1: the NFL marker is just the holdouts. So many holdouts.

1713
01:23:11,880 --> 01:23:15,000
Speaker 1: I mean between you know, someone benefits the Texans, you know,

1714
01:23:15,120 --> 01:23:18,800
Speaker 1: Yannick and Gockway in Jacksonville, Zeke Elliott with the Cowboys,

1715
01:23:19,040 --> 01:23:20,920
Speaker 1: and and look the running back Melvin Gordon with the

1716
01:23:21,280 --> 01:23:24,080
Speaker 1: LA Chargers. That's such a tricky one now because of

1717
01:23:24,160 --> 01:23:26,639
Speaker 1: the way the teams approached the running back position. It's

1718
01:23:26,880 --> 01:23:29,120
Speaker 1: it's really tricky about a lot of holdouts. But let's

1719
01:23:29,200 --> 01:23:31,799
Speaker 1: let's be honest and Gockway is gonna be back. Gordon's

1720
01:23:31,800 --> 01:23:35,320
Speaker 1: gonna be back. I mean, all these holdouts, nine chance

1721
01:23:35,400 --> 01:23:38,280
Speaker 1: you're back, right, you know, Clown's not here and he's

1722
01:23:38,280 --> 01:23:41,479
Speaker 1: got the franchise tag on him. Uh, these guys in

1723
01:23:41,600 --> 01:23:44,040
Speaker 1: all likelihood, Now, it doesn't always happen that way. We've

1724
01:23:44,040 --> 01:23:46,280
Speaker 1: seen it happen here with Dwayne Brown. Doesn't always happen

1725
01:23:46,320 --> 01:23:49,080
Speaker 1: that way. But in all likelihood. Most of the time

1726
01:23:49,680 --> 01:23:52,400
Speaker 1: the two sides either come to an agreement or somebody

1727
01:23:52,479 --> 01:23:55,200
Speaker 1: gives it whatever happens, and the player ends up playing,

1728
01:23:55,479 --> 01:23:57,880
Speaker 1: which is really what you want to see, except I

1729
01:23:57,920 --> 01:24:01,760
Speaker 1: don't want to see Gordon goes any and if we

1730
01:24:01,920 --> 01:24:04,960
Speaker 1: play them in two the first three games, Yeah, I know, yeah, Jackson,

1731
01:24:05,040 --> 01:24:08,040
Speaker 1: those guys started out at least a quarter of the season.

1732
01:24:08,160 --> 01:24:11,639
Speaker 1: Take its October. Just get October, Mark. I've been watching

1733
01:24:11,640 --> 01:24:13,320
Speaker 1: the NFL Top one hundred. They decided this year to

1734
01:24:13,400 --> 01:24:17,120
Speaker 1: do it all in in uh ten days, to unveil

1735
01:24:17,160 --> 01:24:19,280
Speaker 1: all in ten days, and the the unveiling of the

1736
01:24:19,400 --> 01:24:24,000
Speaker 1: Top twenty Top ten will be a two a two

1737
01:24:24,200 --> 01:24:28,560
Speaker 1: hour episode on Wednesday night. So they've gotten all the

1738
01:24:28,640 --> 01:24:31,320
Speaker 1: way to thirty one, so they've got thirty more to do.

1739
01:24:31,920 --> 01:24:34,599
Speaker 1: Two Texans have unveiled JD at sixty three and Deshaun

1740
01:24:34,720 --> 01:24:37,839
Speaker 1: was at fifty one. Your gut reaction to Baker Mayfield

1741
01:24:37,880 --> 01:24:39,799
Speaker 1: being a number fifty ahead of de Shaun are you're

1742
01:24:39,840 --> 01:24:42,160
Speaker 1: just you're just lobbing that one in there. Hey, you

1743
01:24:42,280 --> 01:24:44,479
Speaker 1: made me answer things with two sentences. I'm gonna make

1744
01:24:44,520 --> 01:24:46,519
Speaker 1: you answer this question about Baker Mayfield ahead of de

1745
01:24:46,520 --> 01:24:49,840
Speaker 1: Shaun Watson. I can't believe players players would actually rate

1746
01:24:49,920 --> 01:24:52,479
Speaker 1: him higher than Deshaun Watson, just saying, let me just

1747
01:24:52,560 --> 01:24:54,320
Speaker 1: put it this way. Look, I'm not taking away from

1748
01:24:54,360 --> 01:24:58,200
Speaker 1: what Baker did last year. Great good for him, nice job. However,

1749
01:24:59,040 --> 01:25:01,200
Speaker 1: if you had to dres Aft right now, all the

1750
01:25:01,280 --> 01:25:04,000
Speaker 1: quarterbacks are out there for you to take. I don't

1751
01:25:04,040 --> 01:25:06,800
Speaker 1: think too many gms are taking Baker Mayfield ahead of

1752
01:25:06,840 --> 01:25:12,320
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson. All right, insert Texans GM joke here, listeners, Shush,

1753
01:25:12,680 --> 01:25:14,840
Speaker 1: I don't think too many organizations. I'm gonna have to

1754
01:25:14,960 --> 01:25:17,439
Speaker 1: change my way of saying that too many organizations are

1755
01:25:17,479 --> 01:25:21,439
Speaker 1: taking Baker Mayfield ahead of Deshaun Watson. I think Watson's

1756
01:25:21,479 --> 01:25:24,840
Speaker 1: gonna win that Little Taste Test, no doubt about it.

1757
01:25:25,040 --> 01:25:28,600
Speaker 1: Something come on anyway, but Baker Mayfield good. Texans do

1758
01:25:28,720 --> 01:25:30,560
Speaker 1: not play the Browns this year. In fact, I just

1759
01:25:30,640 --> 01:25:33,479
Speaker 1: wrote a story and it's gonna pop up today. It's

1760
01:25:33,520 --> 01:25:36,559
Speaker 1: gonna drop today on we're doing our top one hundred

1761
01:25:36,560 --> 01:25:38,280
Speaker 1: and this is the nine game winning streak. And I

1762
01:25:38,360 --> 01:25:41,080
Speaker 1: talk about that Cleveland team, how hey Mayfield was hot

1763
01:25:41,160 --> 01:25:43,280
Speaker 1: in that second half and they kind of had to

1764
01:25:43,320 --> 01:25:45,320
Speaker 1: hold them back, and they did and they were able

1765
01:25:45,360 --> 01:25:47,720
Speaker 1: to win that day and that was the ninth win.

1766
01:25:48,160 --> 01:25:50,000
Speaker 1: You just never know when that kind of thing's gonna end.

1767
01:25:50,000 --> 01:25:51,599
Speaker 1: And we'll talk about that a little bit more tonight

1768
01:25:51,680 --> 01:25:55,080
Speaker 1: along with what we see at training camp today. Landry

1769

Speaker 1: Locker and John Lopez are on the field and they

1770
01:25:58,080 --> 01:26:00,360
Speaker 1: will be doing their program from here and then switch

1771
01:26:00,479 --> 01:26:03,080
Speaker 1: inside after a little bit. It's gonna be fun stuff
