20
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:04,640

00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:07,640
Speaker 1: have this the eighties. Oh yeah, I love in the nineties.

00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 1: understandable anyway, loved her and that. Yeah, yeah she was.

28
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 1: And I said this aloud to my wife last I

29
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 1: mean we were watching it together and she just like

30
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 1: smiled and shook. Those those documentaries I've seen the sixties

31
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 1: and seventies to eighties to nineties, and I'm working my

32
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 1: way through the two thousands. Just the opening like animation

33
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 1: and graphic that they go that is phenomenal, incredible. How

34
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 1: it's really really good? Uh the one on have you

35
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 1: seen the one that they do on eighties TV? Uh? Yes, yes, yes,

36
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 1: I can't remember if that was early that was like

37
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 1: one of the first ones, right. In fact, I think

38
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 1: there was a two parter. Remember, so each decade they

39
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 1: do one on television and music, and so it was

40
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:15,400
Speaker 1: the one that they do on the two thousands for TV.

41
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:18,639
Speaker 1: It's really interesting because it's kind of the introduction of

42
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 1: Netflix and then oh, you know AMC shows and so

43
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:25,080
Speaker 1: obviously Breaking Bad and some some different shows outside of

44
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 1: the network. It's really those go to Netflix and check

45
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 1: them out. I don't know if they're all there, but

46
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:32,240
Speaker 1: I know the eighties, nineties and two thousands are all

47
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:36,919
Speaker 1: there on Netflix. My dear parents they were early on Netflix.

48
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:39,680
Speaker 1: Um as far as getting the DVDs. Yeah, so they

49
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:42,799
Speaker 1: were like pioneers as far as getting on and they

50
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:46,079
Speaker 1: haven't changed. They still they still get DVDs delivered to

51
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:50,919
Speaker 1: them from Netflix. So God bless. That's the best thing

52
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 1: I've heard all that. Man, you know what, That's fine.

53
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 1: It wasn't until about five or six years ago my

54
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 1: mom told me that she quit writing checks at the store.

55
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 1: Oh wow, And she's like, yeah, I could use my

56
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 1: ATM card. I was like, Mom, I've been using my

57
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 1: ATM cards since i've been But she still writes checks

58
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 1: for other things. I'm guessing, right, Oh yeah, yeah, yeah

59
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 1: for everything. Cool was we do too? We do too?

60
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 1: I mean for certain things. I don't know the last

61
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 1: time I wrote a check, right, trying to think I

62
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 1: don't know, it's rares. It's very rare now, and that

63
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:22,240
Speaker 1: we're not just showing our age. But Drew, you talk

64
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 1: to Anthony Munios. We're gonna have that interview in our

65
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 1: next segment, final segment. I've been awesome. He's unbelievable. I've

66
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:31,640
Speaker 1: interviewed him before and I just you said it best.

67
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 1: We were talking before the show started, and you said,

68
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 1: I wish I'd talked to Anthony Munios every day. I

69
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 1: came in at nine am yesterday and talked to him

70
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 1: for about fifteen minutes. I had not had coffee yet,

71
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 1: and I was your juice. I can be a little

72
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 1: grumpy Gus if I don't have my coffee in the morning.

73
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 1: I was in a great mood. I was like Ned Flanders.

74
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 1: After I walked out of here, I was like, Hi,

75
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 1: how you doing? Everybody I saw, I don't know, and

76
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 1: I don't know. He didn't do anything crazy, but it

77
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 1: was just fun talking with him. They had good things

78
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 1: to say, and we had chit chatted about is time

79
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 1: on the right stuff? That movie which you gotta watch.

80
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 1: If you've already given me a grief about this. We

81
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 1: live in the space City. Yeah, you gotta watch. It's

82
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 1: a phenomenal movie. Speaking of Netflix, it's Netflix. I think

83
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 1: it's Netflix now maybe maybe just be on iTunes, but

84
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 1: there is. It's it's on iTunes the Apollo elevens and

85
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 1: it's got all the footage from nineteen sixty nine, like

86
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:33,920
Speaker 1: it's never, never before seen footage. And I can't get

87
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 1: anybody in my family to watch it. I haven't. I

88
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,559
Speaker 1: haven't asked Jack yet. Jack will sit down for certain movies,

89
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 1: Like sometimes I can get Jack to sit and watch

90
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:43,480
Speaker 1: a movie with me. This might be one. But the

91
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 1: preview with all the footage is like it means jaw dropping.

92
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:52,920
Speaker 1: First of all, it's just brilliant, brilliant, pristine footage. I mean,

93
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 1: the visuals are just incredible and it's kind of documentary style.

94
00:04:57,480 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 1: So I'm I'm all about it, but I just haven't

95
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:01,160
Speaker 1: had a chance to to sit down and watch it.

96
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 1: But that is That's definitely on my list of things

97
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 1: to watch. And oh, by the way, on Netflix. Um

98
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 1: not that this is ones on Netflix and ones on Amazon.

99
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 1: The All or Nothing series is coming back. That's the NFL.

100
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:19,239
Speaker 1: That's the NFL Hard Knocks in season show Carolina Panthers

101
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 1: this year, it reviews last year and then also Last

102
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:26,600
Speaker 1: Chance You. You've been going through Last Chance You. I

103
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 1: just started the very first season. Yeah, they're on season four.

104
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:33,159
Speaker 1: Both of those are coming out July nineteenth. So I

105
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 1: know exactly what I'll be doing that weekend, all right,

106
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:37,480
Speaker 1: I know exactly what I'll be doing. Like it now

107
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 1: during the fall, I know exactly what you and I

108
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:41,719
Speaker 1: will be doing. We'll be talking about this football team.

109
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 1: And training camp starts less than a month. It's hard

110
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 1: to believe in some sense it's less than a month.

111
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 1: But offense defense, Drew, I know we've talked and we

112
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 1: talked about the stars and when the stars are coming back,

113
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,479
Speaker 1: but they're always there are always players that we kind

114
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 1: of are off the beaten path a little bit. That man,

115
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 1: you know what, these guys need to step up this

116
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 1: year to make an impact on this team, whether it's

117
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 1: to make sure they have they're on the team, Like

118
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 1: if they don't make an impact the training camp, maybe

119
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 1: they're not on the team, or but they have a

120
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 1: skill set that's a little different that maybe the Texans

121
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:17,720
Speaker 1: need something like that, and maybe they've been around for

122
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:20,720
Speaker 1: a little bit. But offense defense le'll start. Let's start

123
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 1: on the offensive side of the ball. There's a guy

124
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:24,479
Speaker 1: to me, there's a few guys to me on the

125
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 1: offensive side of the ball that really are intriguing, and

126
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:31,039
Speaker 1: I one of them is Darren Fells. Yeah. Yeah, And

127
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 1: I had this conversation over at sports raight of sixteen

128
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,240
Speaker 1: because I was on with with Mike and Set this

129
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 1: morning because Mark was out, And afterwards I was talking

130
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 1: with Landry and John Lopez, the OG, and I was

131
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:44,160
Speaker 1: talking to them and they were asking me that like,

132
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:46,040
Speaker 1: do you think they'll keep four tight ends? And I

133
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:48,920
Speaker 1: keep coming back to, yeah, I think this team's keeping

134
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:51,280
Speaker 1: four tight ends in large part, not just because they

135
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:52,919
Speaker 1: want to keep four tight ends, but who the fourth

136
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:55,360
Speaker 1: one is, and that's Darren Fells. Okay, let's think about it.

137
00:06:55,600 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 1: You unless just something out of left field happened, all

138
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:03,280
Speaker 1: three guys who've who've drafted in the last two years

139
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 1: their locks, the two Georgans in Kalli wearing locks. All right,

140
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 1: but let's think about this. Darren Fells is your blocking

141
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 1: tight end. You put that in air quote, You're blocking

142
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 1: tight end. So that in itself is very important because

143
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 1: it's something that can help out Deshaun Watson, help out

144
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 1: the offensive line, help out in the run game, all that,

145
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 1: but you also need to look at his stats. In

146
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 1: the last four years combined, he's caught ten touchdowns. Okay,

147
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 1: that might not sound like a lot, I understand, but

148
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 1: let's look at let's exclude those those three players that

149
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:40,280
Speaker 1: are locks. Look at the Texans tight end crew over

150
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 1: the last four years. CG. Fedora, which Ryan Griffin, anybody

151
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 1: else can throw in there. They never had a four

152
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 1: your stretch where they had that many scoring opportunities. That

153
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 1: guy is very, very important. And usually you think blocking

154
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 1: tight end, you think he's just a slightly athletic tackle.

155
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 1: It's some big guy that got converted. It's like, oh,

156
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 1: you're just bringing him into jumbo packages. Darren Fells played

157
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 1: professional basketball for four years. Darren Fells did not play

158
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 1: college football. His college did not have a football team.

159
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 1: So this is a guy who is incredibly athletic as well.

160
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 1: He's very intriguing. I've talked about it with Pendergast, I've

161
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:21,679
Speaker 1: talked about it with you. I just don't see how

162
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 1: they don't go into the season with four tight ends.

163
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 1: And he is too intriguing a guy to cut and

164
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 1: how many times did we see the Texans and have

165
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 1: we seen the Texans practice on offense with three tight ends?

166
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:39,440
Speaker 1: He's a guy you can put in there, and who

167
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 1: else do you put out there with him? There's so

168
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 1: many combinations and so many mixes and matches that you

169
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 1: can do him the tight end room as a whole.

170
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 1: It's got me very, very excited about this offense this year.

171
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:55,719
Speaker 1: I think you have so many possibilities with him in there,

172
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:58,640
Speaker 1: and with these other guys too. I got excited, and

173
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 1: I get excited when you sit down these guys because

174
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 1: you dive deep into certain things and you actually talked

175
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:05,160
Speaker 1: there and fell. So we've had that for you now.

176
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 1: It was your impression of the Texans before you got

177
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 1: here because you played against them with the Browns, And

178
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 1: how did that change, if at all, once you arrived

179
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 1: in the building and got a run team. To me,

180
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 1: it was a no brainer. I mean, they were a

181
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 1: couple players here and there from being a great team

182
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 1: making further the playoffs. Talk with the coaches, they said,

183
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:22,959
Speaker 1: there's a few a few missing pieces here and there

184
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:24,560
Speaker 1: to be a great team. And feel like I can

185
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 1: be one of those pieces that can help us out

186
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 1: on the run game and things here and there in

187
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:30,640
Speaker 1: the offense. I was no brainer for sure. How would

188
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 1: you describe yourself as a player, A big left left tackle.

189
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:36,680
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm a blocking tight end. Obviously do

190
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 1: that first. I feel like I can do a little

191
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:41,839
Speaker 1: bit of everything, but most mostly blocking is my claim

192
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 1: of fame. So you can catch some touchdowns, I mean,

193
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:45,959
Speaker 1: you got ten over the last four years. That's that's

194
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 1: nothing to sneeze at, right, Oh no, not at all.

195
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:49,719
Speaker 1: You thowd me that ball, I'm catching it. That's that's

196
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 1: always been my model. But I guess I'm blocking first.

197
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:54,760
Speaker 1: I'm here to block, here to help the run game

198
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 1: and then block some big guys if pining me too.

199
00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 1: How much pride you take in the fact that you've

200
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:01,839
Speaker 1: not only signed a contract in the FL, you've signed

201
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:03,559
Speaker 1: two contracts in the NFL, You've been around in the

202
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:05,600
Speaker 1: league for a while, and your college did not even

203
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 1: have a football team every single day. It just surprises me.

204
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 1: Me and my wife talked about it all the time,

205
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:13,320
Speaker 1: how we haven't really sat down and truly celebrated the

206
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 1: fact that between me playing football in high school and

207
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:19,440
Speaker 1: in the pros, it has been nine years to be

208
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 1: on my seventh year now is it's not a thing

209
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 1: that's most people should take lightly, and so I think

210
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:27,200
Speaker 1: we should celebrate that soon. But it's pretty awesome. It's

211
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:28,720
Speaker 1: a pretty cool life you've had too. I mean, in

212
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 1: between all that, you got to travel internationally and do

213
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 1: what you love. That's a pretty cool experienced LifeWise, isn't it? Oh?

214
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 1: For sure? And just being able to see the world

215
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 1: as much as I did, and you said doing something

216
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 1: I loved and getting paid to do something that you

217
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 1: love is it's pretty awesome. And just experiencing all the

218
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 1: different cultures, different foods and everything like that has been

219
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:47,839
Speaker 1: been a blessing. So what was Finland like? Though? I'm

220
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 1: fascinated by the Scandinaviano Very cold and dark in the

221
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:53,679
Speaker 1: winter for sure. During the winter you get three hours

222
00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 1: of sunlight. I remember on Christmas it was negative thirty

223
00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 1: four degrees. Yeah. What was your favorite of all the places?

224
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:02,200
Speaker 1: Because you were there? You were Belgium, France for a

225
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 1: little bit, Argentina. Where'd you like the most? Live or

226
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 1: play each? So to live? I love Belgium and mostly

227
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 1: because driving coast to coast was two hour drive, So

228
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:13,200
Speaker 1: just being able to drive and see a Belgium pretty

229
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 1: much in a day, and then being able to leave

230
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 1: Belgium to drive to Amsterdam in an hour and a half,

231
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:20,439
Speaker 1: drive the France, drive the Germany that was pretty awesome.

232
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:22,120
Speaker 1: And you can also hop in a train that goes

233
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:23,880
Speaker 1: under and you'll be in London. So it was just

234
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 1: being able to see that all of Western Europe was

235
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 1: pretty awesome. And then the play I actually love. Playing

236
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 1: in Mexico. Yeah, Mexico was a lot of fun. Just

237
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 1: the camaradie I was able to build because most countries

238
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:34,000
Speaker 1: I played in you have some teammates you couldn't even

239
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:36,320
Speaker 1: speak to and those guys won't even speak in English.

240
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:38,440
Speaker 1: So everybody on the team spoke English. So being able

241
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:40,960
Speaker 1: to talk to my every single player and we can

242
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 1: go out and hang out and be able to communicate

243
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 1: and experience the Mexican culture as well was pretty awesome.

244
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 1: So how does all that your time upbroad How has

245
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 1: that helped you out now? Just being able to adjust

246
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:53,680
Speaker 1: to different situations. I mean, this is my fifth team

247
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:56,560
Speaker 1: in seven years, so being able to just go to

248
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:59,679
Speaker 1: one spot to the next and adjust and build relationships

249
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,199
Speaker 1: in that short time span I think has helped me

250
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:04,200
Speaker 1: a lot. And now you're in the Texans tight end room.

251
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:07,680
Speaker 1: Is there a more athletic position room A in this building,

252
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:10,320
Speaker 1: B anywhere? I mean, you guys are pretty unique. I

253
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:13,560
Speaker 1: feel like our group is extremely diverse, extremely athletic. We're

254
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 1: going to be a tough group the handle and like

255
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:18,000
Speaker 1: you said, there's there's no other position. I feel that

256
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:19,800
Speaker 1: does what a Titan needs to do. Yeah, I mean,

257
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 1: you played pro basketball, Jorge Nakins played pro baseball. You

258
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:26,320
Speaker 1: got Jordan Thomas who's enormous, and then the rookies in two.

259
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 1: But that's a pretty diverse mix. Oh yeah, it's very,

260
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:32,080
Speaker 1: very diverse. I didn't never thought in my career that

261
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:34,840
Speaker 1: I would be in the room with another two sport professional.

262
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 1: Who's your favorite all time retired NFL player? I've always

263
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:42,200
Speaker 1: loved Tony Gonzalez, so I'm sitting with Tony. He's he's

264
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:44,679
Speaker 1: been someone that I tried to model myself and then

265
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:47,440
Speaker 1: realize I'm not as athletic as him, so at the

266
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 1: change it but he's he's been the icon for a

267
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 1: tight end due when he was in with us, he

268
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:54,079
Speaker 1: joked about being and what the other Georgians tell him

269
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 1: as the right right tackle. But I'm I'm actually okay

270
00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 1: with that look and he called himself to left left.

271
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah me And one more thing fells. This guy's cool,

272
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 1: calm and collected. Yeah, I mean he is really really,

273
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 1: I think a stabilizing influence in that room, and I

274
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:13,800
Speaker 1: think you can be a stabilizing influence on young players

275
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 1: as a plus for Baker Mayfield last year. Another guy

276
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:18,320
Speaker 1: that you caught up with, I think could be that

277
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:21,320
Speaker 1: guy in the defensive side, and that's Carlos Watkins. Let's

278
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:25,120
Speaker 1: hear from Carlos Watkins, the third year defensive pass rusher

279
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:28,600
Speaker 1: Romata Clemson. Carlos, tell me about the opportunity that's in

280
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 1: front of you. It's a big upcoming year for me.

281
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 1: You know, all I can do is just put my

282
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:34,880
Speaker 1: best foot for it. You know, I've actually, you know,

283
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:37,320
Speaker 1: the two years I've been here, I was behind great guys.

284
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 1: You know, I learned a lot, and so now I

285
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:40,680
Speaker 1: feel like it's time for me to jump out the

286
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:43,480
Speaker 1: this and fly. And you've got a nice background from

287
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:46,600
Speaker 1: your college days of success. How much do you rely

288
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:48,200
Speaker 1: on that? How much do you rely on what you've

289
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:50,480
Speaker 1: learned and picked up since you gotten in the league

290
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:52,640
Speaker 1: a lot honestly, Clemson, you know, that's the kind of

291
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:55,319
Speaker 1: players that they I mean, we build those kind of players,

292
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 1: you know, so like you know, just transfers in that,

293
00:13:58,040 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 1: you know to the NFL made it a lot easier,

294
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:02,199
Speaker 1: you know, just keeping the same work ethic. Just want

295
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 1: to be a winner. What were one or two keys

296
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:06,560
Speaker 1: for you from the time the season ended to now

297
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:09,000
Speaker 1: as far as something to approve on, something to work on.

298
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:11,440
Speaker 1: One of the things is just like confidence. You know,

299
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 1: a lot of people don't really you know, know how

300
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:15,520
Speaker 1: important it is because things you do you kind of

301
00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 1: master it, and you know, once you get your confidence,

302
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 1: I feel like you become great using my arm land

303
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:22,880
Speaker 1: just really just giving a lot more effort, you know.

304
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 1: It's it's things that I wish I can go back

305
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:26,920
Speaker 1: and do just to give more effort. But like effort,

306
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,480
Speaker 1: you can't really coach that. So to someone I want

307
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:31,520
Speaker 1: to give a lot more. Where do you drawing confidence?

308
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 1: Where do you get your confidence? Practice? Practice? You really

309
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:36,880
Speaker 1: go hard in the drills and you master it and

310
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:39,040
Speaker 1: then you know, once you get to the field or

311
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 1: in the game, you just confident about what you're doing.

312
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 1: You know, a lot of guys second gets themselves, you

313
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:45,520
Speaker 1: know when they get to the field, even though they

314
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:47,360
Speaker 1: practice it all the time, but like once you get

315
00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 1: to the field, you had that confidence and you know

316
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:51,640
Speaker 1: you've been working at it and you master your craft.

317
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:54,240
Speaker 1: Is it just comes second hand. Take me into the

318
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:57,240
Speaker 1: defensive line room. You got Anthony Weavers to coach. What's

319
00:14:57,280 --> 00:15:00,520
Speaker 1: it like in there? You just smiled. I've heard the stories.

320
00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:02,160
Speaker 1: What's it like in there? It's one of a kind

321
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:03,960
Speaker 1: in there, you know what I'm saying. I love it.

322
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 1: We have our time that we joke around and we

323
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:08,560
Speaker 1: you know, we focus on what we need to focus on.

324
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 1: But just never know what kind of day is gonna

325
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 1: be in Who who's gonna be the guy to get

326
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:15,200
Speaker 1: picked on? You know what I'm saying. So I like it.

327
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 1: It's fun, you know what I'm saying. We all get

328
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:19,680
Speaker 1: on each other. So I love that. Wrong JJ Watt

329
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:22,640
Speaker 1: has said that you guys have and he said he

330
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:25,040
Speaker 1: includes himself in it. He said, we have the dumbest

331
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:28,440
Speaker 1: debates and arguments in the locker room, in the defensive

332
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:29,960
Speaker 1: line room. What are some of the things you guys

333
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:32,880
Speaker 1: argue about. It really could be anything. We kind of

334
00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:35,640
Speaker 1: put people in scenarios like we has JJ. Really you

335
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:38,240
Speaker 1: got up the price on JJ fifty meal? Would you

336
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:40,600
Speaker 1: shrink down the four eleven people? We just debate on

337
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 1: things like that. It's just fun and games. What's it

338
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:45,320
Speaker 1: like being a teammate with DJ Reader now and being

339
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:47,920
Speaker 1: so near to him after the background you'll have together

340
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:50,400
Speaker 1: in college. It's great. You know he got here year

341
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:52,760
Speaker 1: before I did, so kind of you know, show me

342
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 1: the ropes. You know when I first got here and

343
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:57,080
Speaker 1: still still to this day, we pushed each other. You know,

344
00:15:57,160 --> 00:15:59,000
Speaker 1: we might be at the house. We still chill out,

345
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:00,880
Speaker 1: go out to eat all the time. But it's great

346
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:02,480
Speaker 1: to have you know, you're not a friend, he like

347
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:04,160
Speaker 1: a brother to me, you know what I'm saying here

348
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:06,160
Speaker 1: on the same team. Man. We do a lot of

349
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:08,680
Speaker 1: stuff together so and we still challenge each other. So

350
00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:11,600
Speaker 1: it's real fun to have him here. Drew, First of all,

351
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:14,160
Speaker 1: excellent job with both those interviews. I'm glad that you're

352
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 1: in here so I can give you kudos. I think

353
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:17,720
Speaker 1: you do a great job and all those interviews. Appreciate that.

354
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 1: But those two guys maybe not guys people are thinking

355
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 1: about because they're thinking about Watkins and are thinking about

356
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:26,640
Speaker 1: Watson and Hopkins and Watt and j D and all

357
00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:29,240
Speaker 1: those players. But I think these two guys could play

358
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:31,720
Speaker 1: pretty significant roles on this team for different reasons this year,

359
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 1: Beauty of the NFL. Man, you gotta have guys who

360
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:37,160
Speaker 1: are not stars come up and make big plays and

361
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:40,160
Speaker 1: make big contributions for you. No doubt, Drew, You're gonna

362
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:42,920
Speaker 1: stick around in a sense because we've got Hall of

363
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 1: Famer Anthony Munos. Y gonna give us some juice. Next

364
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:50,120
Speaker 1: right here in Texas Access, Welcome back to this Friday

365
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:53,720
Speaker 1: edition of Texans All Access from the Hounday Texans Radio Studio.

366
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 1: I'm your host, John Harris. Time to dive right back

367
00:16:56,920 --> 00:17:01,160
Speaker 1: in to the show with Anthony Munos, All Fame left

368
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:05,520
Speaker 1: tackle played at USC. Just an unbelievable guy. I've interviewed

369
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:09,080
Speaker 1: him in the past and I love it. And he

370
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 1: runs a camp. His group runs a camp here in Houston,

371
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:18,920
Speaker 1: and that's why he was That's why he was Withdrew yesterday.

372
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:21,440
Speaker 1: So they talked a little bit about the camp which

373
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:23,760
Speaker 1: took place yesterday, but they also talked about the Texans

374
00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:26,720
Speaker 1: life in the NFL. Here is Hall of Famer Anthony

375
00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:33,080
Speaker 1: Munios many men have played the left tackle position in

376
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:35,320
Speaker 1: the NFL, but for my money, nobody played it better

377
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:38,880
Speaker 1: than the guy we're talking with right now, Anthony Munios,

378
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 1: Pro Football Hall of Famer Anthony. First of all, how

379
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:44,400
Speaker 1: the heck are you doing? I'm doing great. I mean,

380
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:46,720
Speaker 1: you know, things are going well. Stay in busy, but

381
00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:50,040
Speaker 1: not too busy, so I can't complain right now. The

382
00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:53,760
Speaker 1: Houston Texans they drafted with their first round pick a

383
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:56,119
Speaker 1: guy named Titus Howard Alabama State, and then in the

384
00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:59,320
Speaker 1: second round they took another left tackle, a guy named

385
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:03,680
Speaker 1: Max Sharping from Northern Illinois. What's the toughest adjustment coming

386
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:06,680
Speaker 1: from college to the pros for a left tackle? For

387
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:09,359
Speaker 1: an offensive lemon who's out there on the edge. First

388
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:12,680
Speaker 1: of all, college, let's say you have a twelve game season,

389
00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:16,879
Speaker 1: thirteen game. You're not facing you know, twelve thirteen guys.

390
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:19,520
Speaker 1: You're not facing a guy every week that is the

391
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:21,639
Speaker 1: best of the best. Now, all of a sudden, you

392
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:25,200
Speaker 1: get to the NFL and it doesn't matter what team

393
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:28,320
Speaker 1: you're playing. It doesn't matter if the team is doing

394
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:30,879
Speaker 1: badly or doing really well. The guy that you're playing

395
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:33,560
Speaker 1: against he's the best. I mean, he's made an NFL

396
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:36,520
Speaker 1: football team, So he's one of the best to play

397
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:39,639
Speaker 1: in the world. So you have to be up every

398
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:42,800
Speaker 1: single week, not only for the game but in practice

399
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:46,480
Speaker 1: because you're guys that you're practicing against. You're playing against

400
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:49,199
Speaker 1: the pretty good players too. And as we know, you

401
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:52,119
Speaker 1: have a lot more practice reps than you do game reps.

402
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 1: Do you use those to get better? I think that's

403
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 1: the key. It's just knowing that you can't be in

404
00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 1: a lull, that you can't take a player or a

405
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:01,080
Speaker 1: week off or a game up. That you always have

406
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:03,200
Speaker 1: to be on the top of your game if that's

407
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:05,639
Speaker 1: definitely what you want to do for a long long time,

408
00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:07,960
Speaker 1: and that's going to allow you to keep your job

409
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:10,280
Speaker 1: and to play many years in the NFL. So that's

410
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:13,760
Speaker 1: the toughest thing and toughest adjustment coming from the college

411
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:17,199
Speaker 1: level to the NFL. What's your one strongest bit of

412
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:19,960
Speaker 1: advice for these guys to work on in this time

413
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:22,719
Speaker 1: in between OTA's and start training camp. They've got four

414
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:25,080
Speaker 1: or five weeks, but they're not really all the way off.

415
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:27,000
Speaker 1: What do you tell these guys what should they work

416
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:29,320
Speaker 1: on in this period? Yeah, they're not off. I mean

417
00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:31,600
Speaker 1: people say, well, they got this time now that I

418
00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:35,399
Speaker 1: would say just technique. That something is an offensive lineman

419
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:39,280
Speaker 1: that you don't need someone across from you, someone that's constantly,

420
00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:42,160
Speaker 1: you know, rushing. But that's something that you can work

421
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:45,480
Speaker 1: on over and over and over. And of course with

422
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:47,960
Speaker 1: the game now is that you have to be able

423
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:50,800
Speaker 1: to prepare with all the pounding and all the hitting.

424
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:54,920
Speaker 1: So you can prepare one hundred percent without one hundred

425
00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:57,399
Speaker 1: percent physical part of it. And that's something that you

426
00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:01,280
Speaker 1: can continue to do from now until you start camp.

427
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:03,879
Speaker 1: And I think that's something that I really learned, you know,

428
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:06,600
Speaker 1: and I did my whole career, even the offseason when

429
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:09,359
Speaker 1: I was running and lifting, I tried every day to

430
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:12,560
Speaker 1: work on technique, footwork and you know, being in the

431
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 1: right position. Therefore it comes natural. And when you get

432
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 1: to camp now your mind isn't about your conditioning or

433
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:23,399
Speaker 1: your footwork, even though that's part of it. It's about, Okay,

434
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:25,120
Speaker 1: what do I do on this play? What are I doing?

435
00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:29,119
Speaker 1: And really getting the strategy down to where now you

436
00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:30,920
Speaker 1: know exactly what you have to do and you can

437
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:33,760
Speaker 1: go full speed. So I would recommend they just continue

438
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:37,040
Speaker 1: to work on their technique. Technique a key if you're

439
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:40,640
Speaker 1: an offensive lineman, you played and blocked for some terrific

440
00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:43,840
Speaker 1: quarterbacks in your career. Texans, we think we got one

441
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:46,439
Speaker 1: here in Deshaun Watson. He got sack sixty two times.

442
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:50,600
Speaker 1: But as you know, it's not always the offensive line's

443
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:53,280
Speaker 1: fault is. It's what's some of the challenges when you

444
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:56,479
Speaker 1: have a quarterback who's young, who's mobile, and who can

445
00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 1: do some of the things he can do. A lot

446
00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:00,280
Speaker 1: of times, you know, when you're passed by can you

447
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:03,919
Speaker 1: pretty much know where the quarterback is going to end up.

448
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:06,840
Speaker 1: So a lot of times your whole technique and the

449
00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:09,520
Speaker 1: way you're taking your guy is predicated on that. So

450
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:11,119
Speaker 1: you know, and all of a sudden, you got a

451
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:14,399
Speaker 1: guy with that much athleticism that can escape different things.

452
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:16,600
Speaker 1: So one of the things that offensive lineman you really

453
00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:18,720
Speaker 1: have to be aware of is that when you think

454
00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:20,560
Speaker 1: you have your guy, you got to continue to go

455
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:22,919
Speaker 1: because it might not be your guy. He might have

456
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:25,719
Speaker 1: to escape somewhere else. Those are the things and you

457
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:28,359
Speaker 1: know that you learn that right away, especially with someone

458
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:31,120
Speaker 1: like Watson, is that that might happen. So it's not

459
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:33,720
Speaker 1: like you get surprised during the game. You have to

460
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:37,040
Speaker 1: be aware. The main thing is just football awareness, football smart,

461
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:39,560
Speaker 1: the ability to adjust, and the main thing is just

462
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:43,000
Speaker 1: going until the whistle is blown. That's probably the big

463
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:45,160
Speaker 1: advice I give you when you have a guy like that,

464
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:47,679
Speaker 1: because you never know how long he's going to extend

465
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:49,399
Speaker 1: the play. One of the fun things I always love

466
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 1: talking with you about is your acting career, specifically the

467
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 1: right stuff. What was that like? I mean, I've heard that,

468
00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:58,040
Speaker 1: You've told me the story a few times, but for

469
00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:00,440
Speaker 1: those that haven't heard it before, how is a guy

470
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:03,320
Speaker 1: like you get into one of the greatest movies I

471
00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:05,600
Speaker 1: think of all time. I'm still trying to figure that

472
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:10,320
Speaker 1: one out. It was actually happened after Super Bowl sixteen,

473
00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 1: which was my second year in Cincinnati with the Bengals.

474
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:15,480
Speaker 1: I just happened to go back to LA and have

475
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:18,920
Speaker 1: my elbow cleaned out by the same doctor that did

476
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 1: all three of my knees when I was at USC.

477
00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:25,439
Speaker 1: He was actually the orthopedic surgeon for the Raiders, but

478
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:28,959
Speaker 1: had his office in Beverly Hills, so not only was

479
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:32,600
Speaker 1: he a professional athlete doctor, but he was known as

480
00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:37,159
Speaker 1: the celebrity doctor in Beverly Hills. Of course, John Robinson,

481
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:39,679
Speaker 1: who was my head coach at USC. Had been with

482
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:41,920
Speaker 1: the Raiders, came back to USC to take the head

483
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:44,600
Speaker 1: coaching job, and you know, he started attending some of

484
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:47,440
Speaker 1: us to Doc Rosenfeld. And so when I went back

485
00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:50,400
Speaker 1: from my final examination after my elbow had been cleaned out,

486
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:52,760
Speaker 1: he said, Anton, I might have something for you. I said, Doc,

487
00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:54,240
Speaker 1: good thing, because I might have a little part in

488
00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:56,520
Speaker 1: the movie for you. I said, Doc, I'm not an actress.

489
00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:58,520
Speaker 1: Said no, no, it would be fun. It'll be fun.

490
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:00,440
Speaker 1: Just check it out. So he gave me the names

491
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:02,240
Speaker 1: of two guys that I really didn't have any clue

492
00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:04,919
Speaker 1: who they were at first. It was Irwin Winkler and

493
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:08,200
Speaker 1: Bob Shardoff, and I s I quickly found out how

494
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:10,639
Speaker 1: big these two guys were and how big in the

495
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:13,800
Speaker 1: movie industry, and I just happened to go meet with

496
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:15,720
Speaker 1: them and happened to get this small part in the

497
00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:19,320
Speaker 1: right Stuff and didn't realize how big the movie was initially.

498
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 1: But then I think if I'd have known prior to

499
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:25,399
Speaker 1: taking the role, I probably would have been intimidated and

500
00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:27,199
Speaker 1: didn't want anything to do about, you know, with it.

501
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:29,520
Speaker 1: But I did it. It was a lot of fun,

502
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:31,639
Speaker 1: got to meet all the guys that played in the movie,

503
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:33,800
Speaker 1: and I can put that on my resume. I guess,

504
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:36,440
Speaker 1: I bet. Hey, what was it like when that movie

505
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:38,639
Speaker 1: came out? I mean, did you go and Watchington the theater?

506
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:42,399
Speaker 1: And if so, was your mind just absolutely blown by

507
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:45,000
Speaker 1: how cool that that thing was? I did? I did.

508
00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:47,080
Speaker 1: It was interesting. My wife and I were kind of

509
00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:49,080
Speaker 1: in the back of the theater and there was several

510
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:51,280
Speaker 1: guys in front of us, and funny to hear the

511
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:53,480
Speaker 1: once I came up, one of the guys says, hey,

512
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:55,800
Speaker 1: thenn that Anthony moon yus and the other guy says, now,

513
00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:58,920
Speaker 1: and we're in fitcin edge. You know. That's so that

514
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:01,439
Speaker 1: was a fun part. But then sitting there and watching

515
00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:04,440
Speaker 1: a you know, because I love going to movies and

516
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:08,840
Speaker 1: watching yourself on the screen rather than you know, during

517
00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:11,600
Speaker 1: the football game or practice in a uniform. Now I'm

518
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:13,960
Speaker 1: in a you know, really a movie, and it was different.

519
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,480
Speaker 1: But my excitement was wait until the end of the

520
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:19,040
Speaker 1: movie to see my name on the credit. That was

521
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:21,480
Speaker 1: I think that was probably at the time a little

522
00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:24,480
Speaker 1: more exciting than actually seeing myself on the screen, that

523
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:27,719
Speaker 1: I would actually have my name on the credit with

524
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:31,240
Speaker 1: the Ed Harris and Dennis Played, and Jeff Goldbloom and

525
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:33,640
Speaker 1: all those guys, Sam Elliott, and all of a sudden

526
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:36,400
Speaker 1: you see Anthony moon Us on the rolling across as

527
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:38,520
Speaker 1: one of the names on the credit. So it was

528
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:40,920
Speaker 1: it was pretty interesting. It was something that I'd never

529
00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:44,200
Speaker 1: really experienced before and it was fun. Yeah, that's that's

530
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:45,800
Speaker 1: got to be one of the stories of a lifetime.

531
00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:47,239
Speaker 1: You know, you and I have talked a couple of

532
00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:50,439
Speaker 1: times out in the heat, sweat pouring down our faces,

533
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:52,400
Speaker 1: but right now we're in the air conditioning, which is nice.

534
00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:54,640
Speaker 1: You're on a phone. I'm on a phone. But tell

535
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:57,320
Speaker 1: us about the character camp that you got here in Houston.

536
00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:00,159
Speaker 1: This is really a passion of mine, and you know,

537
00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:01,960
Speaker 1: this is our eighth year that we've been doing in

538
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:05,120
Speaker 1: the NFL Play sixty character camps. It's something that I've

539
00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:08,760
Speaker 1: been doing eighteen years with my foundation in Cincinnati, and

540
00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:11,639
Speaker 1: about nineteen years ago I flew up to the league

541
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:15,120
Speaker 1: office and recommended that we worked together and took their

542
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:18,040
Speaker 1: play sixty pillar and added character to it. So this

543
00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:20,400
Speaker 1: is our eighth year. I think we've been in twenty

544
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:22,720
Speaker 1: seven of the NFL cities. I know we've been in

545
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:25,760
Speaker 1: Houston year after year after year. But it's great. I

546
00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:27,840
Speaker 1: love it because we can use the game of football.

547
00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:29,720
Speaker 1: We're gonna teach the young men and women a game

548
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:32,359
Speaker 1: of football, but then we're gonna go beyond the game

549
00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:34,440
Speaker 1: and teach them what it means to be a person

550
00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:37,280
Speaker 1: of character, what it means to work together as a team.

551
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:39,560
Speaker 1: So those are the things that excite me that we

552
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:41,919
Speaker 1: can use a game that gave me a lot of

553
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:46,000
Speaker 1: opportunities and it still gives me opportunity. Yeah, that's fantastic stuff.

554
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:48,639
Speaker 1: And I imagine over the years since you started this,

555
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:51,520
Speaker 1: you've got guys and players and kids that have gone

556
00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:54,160
Speaker 1: on to play in college and I'm betting maybe even

557
00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:56,800
Speaker 1: a couple of them have wound up in the NFL themselves. Huh. Well,

558
00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:58,359
Speaker 1: you know, that's the fun thing about it. You know,

559
00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:01,480
Speaker 1: you start with these young men at a young age,

560
00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:04,520
Speaker 1: and then you can see them grow and see them

561
00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:07,280
Speaker 1: become you know, from young men to men, and so

562
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:12,040
Speaker 1: that's an exciting thing. And then hopefully, as this process continues,

563
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:15,200
Speaker 1: then you'll see those young men that grow to be

564
00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:17,800
Speaker 1: men to come back and get back to their respective

565
00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:21,320
Speaker 1: communities and really use the platform like a lot of

566
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:23,879
Speaker 1: us that have played the game already or utilizing it.

567
00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:26,320
Speaker 1: And you know a few of the Houston Texas players

568
00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:28,440
Speaker 1: are going to be involved with the camp here. One

569
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:31,720
Speaker 1: of them is offensive lineman Greg Matz, and he grew

570
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:34,640
Speaker 1: up in the Ohio area. You were his favorite football

571
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:36,680
Speaker 1: player growing up. How does that feel when you hear

572
00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:38,600
Speaker 1: stuff like that, You got guys in the NFL that

573
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:41,439
Speaker 1: love what you did, that watched you back way back when. Well,

574
00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:44,280
Speaker 1: I think that's the ultimate compliment, that guys that are

575
00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:47,479
Speaker 1: coming behind you can use you as an example. And

576
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:50,040
Speaker 1: I guess when I was growing up, I had those

577
00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:53,000
Speaker 1: same examples, and then once I got into college and approach,

578
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:55,840
Speaker 1: you want to make sure that your work ethic, that

579
00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:58,960
Speaker 1: your character and then the things you do can be

580
00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:02,399
Speaker 1: passed on. So it's very humbling when someone mentions that,

581
00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:05,479
Speaker 1: But it's also exciting that you hopefully have trailed that

582
00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:07,840
Speaker 1: path where guys can look at you and the way

583
00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:09,719
Speaker 1: you played the game and the way you handle yourself

584
00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:12,159
Speaker 1: and they can emulate and they can respect that. So

585
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:16,120
Speaker 1: that really is great to hear. Anthony Munus, pro Football

586
00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:19,480
Speaker 1: Hall of Famer actor in an Oscar Award winning movie,

587

588

Speaker 1: and most importantly, we're really excited about this NFL character

589
00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:27,840
Speaker 1: camp you got going on in Houston. Well, it'll be great.

590
00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:30,520
Speaker 1: Houston has been one of the first cities we you know,

591
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:32,639
Speaker 1: we did the camp in so it's nice to be

592
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:35,320
Speaker 1: able to go there every year. So yeah, we're excited,

593
00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:39,240
Speaker 1: and really the city has always been very hospitable, the Texans,

594
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:42,280
Speaker 1: their staff has always been very supportive, so we love

595
00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:44,760
Speaker 1: going there. All right. Well, we're big fans of you, Anthony,

Speaker 1: very stout list of players. Oh my goodness. We'll do

621
00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:05,560
Speaker 1: gone fast. I don't know how much they have left,

622

00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:14,720
Speaker 1: about what's going on with the Gold Cup COCKCAF Gold

625
00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:18,400
Speaker 1: Cup Mexico in the building on Saturday. You definitely do

626
00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:21,520
Speaker 1: not want to miss it. Now, this final segment we're

627
00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:25,160
Speaker 1: gonna do the alternate eleven quarterbacks of Texans face this year. Now,

628
00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:30,600
Speaker 1: before we get into this, because trying to put any

629
00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:35,200
Speaker 1: sort of list together of quarterbacks, think about a couple

630
00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:38,960
Speaker 1: of things. Number One, Tom Brady won the MVP, the

631
00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:43,640
Speaker 1: league MVP in two thousand and seven. Okay, if you

632
00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:48,560
Speaker 1: take out retired players now, the only retired player from

633
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:52,080
Speaker 1: two thousand and seven going forward to have won the

634
00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:55,600
Speaker 1: MVP was Peyton Manning. Peyton won it in eight, O nine,

635
00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:59,720
Speaker 1: and thirteen. Okay, so take Peyton Manning out, So take

636
00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:08,440
Speaker 1: out eight nine. In thirteen, the Texans will face every

637
00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:15,080
Speaker 1: league MVP minus one Adrian Peterson twenty twelve. They will

638
00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:20,800
Speaker 1: face every single other league MVP this year in some capacity.

639
00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:25,080
Speaker 1: Check this out. In oh seven, Brady's league MVP, then

640
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:29,480
Speaker 1: Peyton in O eight and nine, twenty ten, Tom Brady

641
00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:35,160
Speaker 1: play him week thirteen the twenty two thousand and eleven

642
00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:39,240
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers will see him in the preseason. Adrian Peterson

643
00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:41,040
Speaker 1: two thousand twelve's the only one man he wanted again

644
00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:43,480
Speaker 1: in thirteen, then from fourteen, Aaron Rodgers see him in

645
00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:46,760
Speaker 1: the preseason. Cam Newton fifteen, you see him week four,

646
00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:49,600
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan in sixteen, see him in week five, Tom

647
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:52,120
Speaker 1: Brady wanted to get in seventeen, see him in week thirteen,

648
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:58,160
Speaker 1: and then you'll see Patrick Mahomes in week six. Holy smokes.

649
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:04,040
Speaker 1: Face every league MVP quarterbacks. Put that way, you'll face

650
00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:08,240
Speaker 1: every league MVP quarterback in some way, shape or form.

651
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:12,840
Speaker 1: Rogers in the preseason, and then Newton, Ryan, Brady, and

652
00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:16,800
Speaker 1: Mahomes the last four league MVPs you face in the

653
00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:20,760
Speaker 1: regular season. Now, the good news none of those guys

654
00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:24,640
Speaker 1: have repeated, I guess in that four year span. But

655
00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:31,800
Speaker 1: that's not too much constellation. So here's another nugget to

656
00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:39,520
Speaker 1: chew on. All nine games before the bye. So it's

657
00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:43,400
Speaker 1: a reminder. Texas play at New Orleans home, Jacksonville, at

658
00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:49,880
Speaker 1: the Chargers home, Carolina home, Atlanta at KC at Indie Home, Oakland,

659
00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:56,440
Speaker 1: London Jacksonville. Those nine games, they will face eight different

660
00:31:56,520 --> 00:32:01,880
Speaker 1: quarterbacks folds twice. Those eight quarterbacks have accounted for thirty

661
00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:08,360
Speaker 1: seven Pro Bowls, four First Team All Pro honorees, three

662
00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:12,680
Speaker 1: Super Bowl MVPs Breeze and Foals twice, and they face

663
00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:18,480
Speaker 1: three league MVPs in the first nine games. In the

664
00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:23,080
Speaker 1: second nine games, then obviously Brady is the big one there,

665
00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:26,920
Speaker 1: but they face Luck. So Brady and Luck really account

666
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:29,520
Speaker 1: for the most of it. But Joe Flacco was a

667
00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:35,520
Speaker 1: Super Bowl MVP, so they face Flacco, Brady falls, and

668
00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:39,760
Speaker 1: Breeze four super Bowl MVPs. Here's the other nugget. The

669
00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:44,880
Speaker 1: Texans will face either a former pro bowler, Super Bowl MVP,

670
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:50,520
Speaker 1: League MVP, or number one number two overall pick in

671
00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:54,680
Speaker 1: every game but one, every game but one, because the

672
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:58,160
Speaker 1: guys that have not been MVPs. Actually, I'm sorry pro bowlers.

673
00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:00,560
Speaker 1: I actually Winston James once and I think went to

674
00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:02,720
Speaker 1: their Pro Bowl. But Mariota is the only one, the

675
00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:04,800
Speaker 1: only one that doesn't fall into that category. Not a

676
00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:07,600
Speaker 1: pro bowler, not a Super Bowl VP, not a League MVP.

677
00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:12,160
Speaker 1: It wasn't first or second overall. Was Lamar Jackson number

678
00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:16,160
Speaker 1: week eleven. He might be the most dangerous on the face.

679
00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:22,280
Speaker 1: So keep me my music and let's go. Let's start

680
00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:27,000
Speaker 1: at number eleven with Nick Foles super Bowl MVP. He

681
00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:29,280
Speaker 1: has gone to a Pro Bowl. That was after his

682
00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:32,640
Speaker 1: twenty thirteen season. He was outstanding twenty seven touchdowns, two interceptions.

683
00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:35,920
Speaker 1: That year he was MVP with Philly. He's not with Jacksonville,

684
00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:38,880
Speaker 1: So people, wait, wait a second, he said, eleven kind

685
00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:42,320
Speaker 1: of shows you something I think with Foles. I don't

686
00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:44,080
Speaker 1: want to say we'll see a regression to the mean,

687
00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:47,360
Speaker 1: but I just think the talent around Foles in Philly

688
00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:54,120
Speaker 1: was so incredibly diverse that it allowed Foles to do

689
00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:56,720
Speaker 1: a lot of different things. And Jacksonville may not be

690
00:33:56,720 --> 00:33:58,160
Speaker 1: as much. He's gonna have to carry that offense a

691
00:33:58,160 --> 00:33:59,600
Speaker 1: little bit more. I don't know these there yet will

692
00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:04,000
Speaker 1: give Nick Foles at number eleven. Number ten face Jamis Winston,

693
00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:06,480
Speaker 1: one of the more talent quarterbacks on this list, can

694
00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:08,880
Speaker 1: make every throw in the book, but has been a

695
00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:13,359
Speaker 1: complete mess. I do think Jamis is going to be

696
00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:16,040
Speaker 1: very difficult to face late in the year as long

697
00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:18,600
Speaker 1: as his guys are healthy, because he'll at that point

698
00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:22,360
Speaker 1: have been able to soak in the lessons of Bruce Arians.

699
00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:25,600
Speaker 1: To me, Bruce Arians with Jamis Winston is gonna be

700
00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:28,239
Speaker 1: trouble for the NFC South at some point. Maybe not

701
00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:32,759
Speaker 1: this year exactly, but in due time that's gonna be tough.

702
00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:36,800
Speaker 1: I put Lamar Jackson at number nine. Now, Lamar obviously

703
00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:39,680
Speaker 1: is as I mentioned, not in that Pro Bowl, superwo

704
00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:44,399
Speaker 1: VP League MVP first or second overall category. But he's

705
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:48,799
Speaker 1: so different, and Baltimore will be so different. The good

706
00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:51,320
Speaker 1: thing is the Texas will have a bye week before

707
00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:54,319
Speaker 1: that week to get ready. But I don't even know

708
00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:59,000
Speaker 1: if I mean they'll they'll having seen de Shaun Watson practice.

709
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:02,840
Speaker 1: That will help. But Lamar Jackson's gonna be a whole

710
00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:09,440
Speaker 1: different challenge. Oh, I mean, I just shudder thinking about it.

711
00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:11,000
Speaker 1: Some of these guys i'd rather face because you know

712
00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:13,960
Speaker 1: they're gonna sit a pocket. You know where they're gonna be. Jackson,

713
00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:15,200
Speaker 1: you have no idea, and I think I make some

714
00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:17,920
Speaker 1: difficult to face. Number eight is Derek Carr. He was

715
00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:22,520
Speaker 1: as good as anybody we saw in twenty sixteen. He

716
00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:28,399
Speaker 1: was unbelievably good in twenty sixteen, and he hasn't got

717
00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:30,600
Speaker 1: back that level yet. But he'll have some weapons with him.

718
00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:33,480
Speaker 1: They'll have Josh Jacobs, the first round rookie at running back.

719
00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:36,400
Speaker 1: He will have Antonio Brown, he will have to Terrell Williams.

720
00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:39,560
Speaker 1: He'll have some guys with him and he'll be protected.

721
00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:44,400
Speaker 1: Derek Carr comes in at number eight. Number seven sixteen

722
00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:48,200
Speaker 1: League gimv P Matt Ryan. Now Ryan's got a lot

723
00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:52,000
Speaker 1: of help with him. I think he is a I

724
00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:54,160
Speaker 1: put it this way, Nick Foles is a poor man's

725
00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:57,440
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan. But Foles can move in the pocket a

726
00:35:57,480 --> 00:35:59,400
Speaker 1: little bit. Matt's not going to He's gonna move in

727
00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:00,719
Speaker 1: the pocket, but he's not gonna get out of the

728
00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:04,480
Speaker 1: pocket much. But Bryan's got a lot of help. He

729
00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:07,080
Speaker 1: throws the Julio, he throws a Mohamed Sanu, he throws

730
00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:10,319
Speaker 1: to Calvin Ridley. Now he's got some weapons. They change

731
00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:12,080
Speaker 1: off in the line in front of him. Matt Ryan

732
00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:14,799
Speaker 1: had a very productive year in twenty eighteen. I hope

733
00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:18,080
Speaker 1: that stops by week five. But League MVP of twenty

734
00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:20,680
Speaker 1: sixteen Matt Ryan at number seven. League P twenty fifteen.

735
00:36:20,719 --> 00:36:24,360
Speaker 1: Cam Newton is that number six, And the reason I

736
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:27,319
Speaker 1: put Cam at six is the dual threat. Guys scare

737
00:36:27,400 --> 00:36:29,480
Speaker 1: me to death because I would want a dual threat

738
00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:31,800
Speaker 1: quarterback to scare other teams to death. And Cam Newton

739
00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:34,840
Speaker 1: still does that. Now, where is his shoulder and the

740
00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:38,520
Speaker 1: rehab process. How does that play a role in week four?

741
00:36:39,239 --> 00:36:44,479
Speaker 1: We'll see. But Cam Newton still to me because of

742
00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:47,200
Speaker 1: every play he can make on the field. He put

743
00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:49,880
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey next to him. They can run it, they

744
00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:51,600
Speaker 1: can throw it, they can play action it. There's a

745
00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:53,799
Speaker 1: lot of things they can do. Cam Newton comes in

746
00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:57,719
Speaker 1: number six. League MVP of twenty fifteen. Philip Rivers at

747
00:36:57,760 --> 00:37:02,000
Speaker 1: number five, Philip eight time bowler. Guys been overshadowed a

748
00:37:02,040 --> 00:37:03,719
Speaker 1: little bit in large parks. His team has never gotten

749
00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:05,759
Speaker 1: to the big one. But he's got a squad this year.

750
00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:07,960
Speaker 1: He's got a defense, Oh my goodness, he's got a

751
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:10,560
Speaker 1: running game with Melvin Gordon, and he's got some weapons

752
00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:12,640
Speaker 1: that throw to Keenan. Allen is one of the top

753
00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:15,560
Speaker 1: receivers in the league. I put Philip Rivers at number five,

754
00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:17,440
Speaker 1: And one of the reasons that I hate seeing Rivers

755
00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:22,680
Speaker 1: is his release is so quick. Oh it's insane how

756
00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:24,520
Speaker 1: fast he gets the ball away. And I've talked to

757
00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:26,800
Speaker 1: Whitney Mershall's about this. I don't know how many times

758
00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:29,800
Speaker 1: Whitney got near Rivers in sixteen the game where we

759
00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:32,839
Speaker 1: lost here and just couldn't get a shack because Rivers

760
00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:35,040
Speaker 1: are getting rid of the ball so quickly, it's unbelievable.

761
00:37:35,560 --> 00:37:38,959
Speaker 1: So I put Philip Rivers at number five, number four,

762
00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:43,839
Speaker 1: four time pro bowler Andrew Luck. Every time Andrew Luck

763
00:37:43,840 --> 00:37:46,960
Speaker 1: comes into this building, it's a disaster for the Texans.

764
00:37:47,719 --> 00:37:51,040
Speaker 1: Twenty twelve, the Texans beat beat Luck in two thousand

765
00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:55,120
Speaker 1: and twelve. In twenty thirteen, they did not. Twenty fourteen,

766
00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:57,200
Speaker 1: they did not. Twenty and fifteen, he didn't play. Two

767
00:37:57,200 --> 00:37:59,600
Speaker 1: thousand and sixteen, he did. The Texas beat them two

768
00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:03,600
Speaker 1: out a teen. He did not play in two eighteen.

769
00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:06,320
Speaker 1: He came in this building and and put it together,

770
00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:08,400
Speaker 1: and it was just I'm gonna take the throws that

771
00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:11,520
Speaker 1: are open. That guy's opened. That guy's open, he's opened

772
00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:14,040
Speaker 1: to hit t Y with the big deep ball right

773
00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:16,600
Speaker 1: before JD had the sack, was about to sack him,

774
00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:19,880
Speaker 1: and that changed the whole game around him. Luck healthy

775
00:38:20,280 --> 00:38:24,200
Speaker 1: scares me to death. Got I hate seen that guy.

776
00:38:24,719 --> 00:38:26,600
Speaker 1: And the thing the thing about it is, I just

777
00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:30,479
Speaker 1: I love Andrew Luck. I love everything about him. Smart, tough,

778
00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:35,480
Speaker 1: he's got a great demeanor. I think he's he embraces

779
00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:38,840
Speaker 1: his inner weird his inner weirdness, if you will. So

780
00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:44,640
Speaker 1: I love that guy, and I facing him hate facing him.

781
00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:46,839
Speaker 1: The Texas did beat him in twenty sixteen, but man,

782
00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:48,799
Speaker 1: it's gonna be tough to beat that guy this year

783
00:38:48,840 --> 00:38:51,000
Speaker 1: with the weapons He's got t Y Hilton, they drafted

784
00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:54,080
Speaker 1: Paris Campbell, they signed Devin Funches. He gets Jack Doyle

785
00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:56,040
Speaker 1: back off I R from last year. He still has

786
00:38:56,120 --> 00:38:59,640
Speaker 1: Eric Ebron, who had a breakout year last year. He's

787
00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:01,520
Speaker 1: got a game with Marlon Mack. He's behind one of

788
00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:03,839
Speaker 1: the better offensive lines in the league. Andrew Luck can

789
00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:06,200
Speaker 1: just pick you apart. And I think what I saw

790
00:39:06,239 --> 00:39:08,680
Speaker 1: at the end of the year, or for the second

791
00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:11,120
Speaker 1: half of the year on he really took the Frank

792
00:39:11,239 --> 00:39:14,680
Speaker 1: Rich's coaching, get rid of football. This guy's gonna be open.

793
00:39:14,760 --> 00:39:17,000
Speaker 1: Throw it to him. Sometimes the game is that simple.

794
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:19,360
Speaker 1: And Andrew Luck found that he's at number four, but

795
00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:22,920
Speaker 1: he's top three. Man, gosh, this is hard. I put

796
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:25,680
Speaker 1: Drew Brees at number three. Now. I will readily admit

797
00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:27,600
Speaker 1: Drew Brees is one of my favorite all time players.

798
00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:30,880
Speaker 1: Part of it's because he's from Texas, played at Austin

799
00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:33,799
Speaker 1: Westlake High School. Part of his because he's been counted out.

800
00:39:33,880 --> 00:39:35,600
Speaker 1: Part of his because I look him eye to eye

801
00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:38,239
Speaker 1: because I'm six foot he's six foot. Part of it

802
00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:40,520
Speaker 1: is just I love everything about the way he approaches

803
00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:44,480
Speaker 1: the game. He's all time leading yardage passer into history

804
00:39:44,480 --> 00:39:47,400
Speaker 1: of the game. He's got to twelve Pro Bowls, he

805
00:39:47,480 --> 00:39:49,680
Speaker 1: was an All Pro, he was a Super Bowl MVP.

806
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:53,399
Speaker 1: He's got a Super Bowl ring. I mean, he's got

807
00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:55,880
Speaker 1: Michael Thomas and throw it too. He's got Alvin Kamara.

808
00:39:56,160 --> 00:40:01,360
Speaker 1: He's behind a great offensive line. When he in twenty fifteen,

809
00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:04,480
Speaker 1: I'll never forget going going to face the Saints in

810
00:40:04,520 --> 00:40:07,640
Speaker 1: the preseason game and he got one series and he

811
00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:10,200
Speaker 1: just went up. He just went down the field like

812
00:40:10,239 --> 00:40:12,640
Speaker 1: it was easy. It was like throw out the ingram thought,

813
00:40:12,719 --> 00:40:16,840
Speaker 1: this guy tight ends receivers touchdown. I mean it was

814
00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:19,200
Speaker 1: that quick Brandon Cooks touched. I was like, oh my goodness.

815
00:40:20,080 --> 00:40:21,919
Speaker 1: And then later in the year the Texans were able

816
00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:23,400
Speaker 1: to slow them down and get a win. It was

817
00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:28,880
Speaker 1: it was, it was incredible. But that said, Drew Brees

818
00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:31,360
Speaker 1: has been just unbelievable. I put him at number three.

819
00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:35,600
Speaker 1: You could split Harris these top three. But at number

820
00:40:35,640 --> 00:40:38,440
Speaker 1: two I put Patrick Mahomes. And the only reason I

821
00:40:38,520 --> 00:40:40,920
Speaker 1: put Patrick Mahomes at number two is because of the

822
00:40:40,960 --> 00:40:45,240
Speaker 1: kryptonite to Tom Brady is at number one. But speaking

823
00:40:45,239 --> 00:40:48,360
Speaker 1: of make every throw, Patrick Mahomes has an arm that

824
00:40:48,480 --> 00:40:52,520
Speaker 1: people are envious up as quarterbacks throughout the league, and

825
00:40:52,600 --> 00:40:55,120
Speaker 1: they'll tell you, oh, I wish I wish I had

826
00:40:55,120 --> 00:40:57,279
Speaker 1: Pat's arm. I mean, he can make any throw. He

827
00:40:57,280 --> 00:40:59,080
Speaker 1: can not even look at a guy and make a throw.

828
00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:02,480
Speaker 1: He made throws. And I remember the first time I

829
00:41:02,520 --> 00:41:05,319
Speaker 1: saw him live was against LSU in a bowl game,

830
00:41:05,480 --> 00:41:06,880
Speaker 1: and I saw him make throws in that game and

831
00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:09,200
Speaker 1: I went that guy out, guy, that guy's gonna hit

832
00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:10,560
Speaker 1: it big in the NFL. That's what I knew. And

833
00:41:10,560 --> 00:41:12,319
Speaker 1: everybody's like, no, I used to riskies do this. He's

834
00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:15,120
Speaker 1: too that. I was like, that'll play now, Well you

835
00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:18,200
Speaker 1: have Tyreek Hill. We don't know, but Mahomes can make

836
00:41:18,239 --> 00:41:23,120
Speaker 1: everybody around him that much better. He's got every every

837
00:41:23,120 --> 00:41:26,200
Speaker 1: weapon you want in the arsenal, He's got it. But

838
00:41:26,200 --> 00:41:28,200
Speaker 1: I put him in number two's last year's league MVP

839
00:41:28,680 --> 00:41:32,160
Speaker 1: because Tom Brady has been the kryptonite for this organization forever.

840
00:41:33,200 --> 00:41:35,680
Speaker 1: I could see the Texans going to Kansas City and

841
00:41:35,840 --> 00:41:39,399
Speaker 1: beating the Chiefs, even with Mahomes play. I could see

842
00:41:39,440 --> 00:41:42,440
Speaker 1: the Texans doing that. But I have trouble, and I

843
00:41:42,480 --> 00:41:44,799
Speaker 1: know it's happened before. And because I was actually here

844
00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:47,120
Speaker 1: to see in two thousand and nine, the Texans beat

845
00:41:47,160 --> 00:41:50,080
Speaker 1: the Patriots. But it's almost like, Man, I'll believe it

846
00:41:50,080 --> 00:41:52,799
Speaker 1: when I see it. Guy won another Super Bowl. He's

847
00:41:52,840 --> 00:41:55,560
Speaker 1: got fourteen Pro Bowls, he's got six rings, He's been

848
00:41:55,560 --> 00:41:58,839
Speaker 1: in nine Super Bowls. He's three time League MVP, he's

849
00:41:58,880 --> 00:42:02,359
Speaker 1: three time All Pro. He's four times, four times he's

850
00:42:02,400 --> 00:42:06,000
Speaker 1: won the superwe MVP. I put Tom Brady at number

851
00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:08,360
Speaker 1: one quiple with that. I know Texas Tech fans were like,

852
00:42:08,400 --> 00:42:11,920
Speaker 1: you're dumb John Mahomes. Look, I understand how good Mahomes is,

853
00:42:12,520 --> 00:42:15,520
Speaker 1: but Brady's been doing it since two thousand and one.

854
00:42:16,560 --> 00:42:20,200
Speaker 1: Pat was still playing peewee baseball at that point. So

855
00:42:20,239 --> 00:42:23,439
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give Brady just edge up because of that,

856
00:42:23,680 --> 00:42:29,200
Speaker 1: and also because it's the Texans. He seemingly always beats us,

857
00:42:29,719 --> 00:42:32,960
Speaker 1: which hopefully that will change this year at home in

858
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:35,279
Speaker 1: Week thirteen. So there you go. Big thanks to Drew
