1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:01,120
Speaker 1: What's happened everybody?

Speaker 2: the show. We'll have a little Texans Audio juke box

00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:20,480
Speaker 2: a little later. Kamori last, Jalen Peatrie, and Christian Kirk

7
00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:23,280
Speaker 2: went to the podium on Tuesday.

8
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:24,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, the one.

9
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:27,960
Speaker 2: OTA day this week, so we'll have a little bit

10
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:29,320
Speaker 2: from them. I know a lot of people have talked

11
00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:32,960
Speaker 2: about Kamari. A lot of people have asked me after

12
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:36,120
Speaker 2: the first OTA. You asked me Mark about Kamara. I said, yeah,

13
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:39,320
Speaker 2: he's he's all that. I mean, he's everything that we

14
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:42,360
Speaker 2: wanted him to be and then some and making plays

15
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:44,760
Speaker 2: in OTAs and he's one of the more fun guys

16
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:47,480
Speaker 2: on this team. So it was good to hear from Kamar.

17
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 2: So we'll have a little Textans audio jukebox little later

18
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 2: in the show. But Mark, I stumbled upon this. And

19
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:56,040
Speaker 2: when I say stumbled, I mean I was just going

20
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 2: through Twitter or x or whatever you call it, and

21
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 2: our friends pff, our friends there they are again. Now

22
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 2: if you saw me say that in studio. You would

23
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 2: see my air quotes around friends, because I've always had

24
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:16,679
Speaker 2: this kind of hate hate less relationship with PFS. No,

25
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 2: I just I just think I think I think some

26
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 2: of the way that they go about things, in the

27
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:23,760
Speaker 2: way that they look at things, or.

28
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:25,480
Speaker 1: Just different than the way that look at things.

29
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 2: But you know, whatever, to each their own, especially when

30
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:33,480
Speaker 2: you try and quantify every single play an NFL player

31
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:38,680
Speaker 2: or college player makes and you don't know exactly what

32
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:40,760
Speaker 2: that guy's responsibility wasn't that play? And I know they

33
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:43,120
Speaker 2: have arguments to that, and I think you have to

34
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:44,960
Speaker 2: know what the responsibilities are to be able to know

35
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 2: what kind of grade you're supposed to give a guy.

36
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 2: Either way, that's my thing with PFF whatever, But I

37
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 2: do think it's been a really good resource, especially for fans,

38
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 2: especially when players are signed to your team and you're like, oh, hey,

39
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 2: I wasn't really watching that team last year. I don't

40
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 2: really know what that guy did or how good he is.

41
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 2: What did PFF have to say? You can go look

42
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 2: at some of the numbers and say, oh, okay, well,

43
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:09,119
Speaker 2: PFF it is pretty great.

44
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:12,920
Speaker 1: On doesn't mean everything, it doesn't mean nothing. I'll tell

45
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 1: you this.

46
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:16,360
Speaker 3: They spend more time watching tape than your average writer,

47
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:18,640
Speaker 3: that is true, who's commenting on a whole bunch of

48
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:21,799
Speaker 3: things that maybe he shouldn't. Yeah, because PFF does look

49
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 3: at this stuff stuff in depth, which is nice, but

50
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 3: it's just another component in evaluating things.

51
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 1: Right. So, yesterday I.

52
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 2: Was a little peeved when they put out their top

53
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 2: thirty two cornerbacks and our guy Staying was number five,

54
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 2: And I retweeted that and just said, nope, hashtag Sting

55
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 2: eight five because he's not number five. Now, if you

56
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 2: want to argue to me, the Patrick Hutan defense player

57
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 2: of the year, and look, I understand it's an arbitrary

58
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:52,839
Speaker 2: defense player.

59
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 1: I get it. There's nobody in this league that is taking.

60
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 2: Sauce Gardner what he did last year over Patrick Sirtander.

61
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 1: Extingly, I don't know, not a chance there's.

62
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,080
Speaker 3: Anybody in the league taking Sauce over any of the

63
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:08,360
Speaker 3: four behind him. He was the number one guy, right,

64
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 3: Number one was Sauce, and then two, three, four, five, It.

65
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:16,639
Speaker 2: Was was Certan, Three was Trent McDuffie. Four was Jalen Johnson.

66
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I think all those guys are going ahead

67
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 3: of Gardner. Maybe not Johnson, but I do believe, yeah

68
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 3: that I I think I'm right on this one.

69
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 1: Most importantly, I think Sting.

70
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 2: Sting is in the top two, and he's probably not two,

71
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 2: but he's got to prove it.

72
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 1: I think Sting is still.

73
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 2: In some people's minds, people that haven't paid attention to

74
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 2: the Texans. He's still the well, he's always injured guy.

75
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 2: I think that's that's what a lot of people's still.

76
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 3: First impressions do mean something, and that's that's a first

77
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 3: impression a lot of people had on.

78
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 2: Him, and then that they've not gotten past that, okay,

79
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 2: And I think there might be some Texas.

80
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 1: Fans that may still not have guy. He's always hurt.

81
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 2: Look, he was hurt the first part of Time twenty

82
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 2: twenty two, part of twenty twenty three, and he has

83
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 2: moved beyond that. So hopefully we've got beyond that. And

84
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 2: it was it was really interesting to watch him yesterday.

85
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 2: I don't know how I brought this up. They were

86
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 2: working on a situational drill and it's just I've talked

87
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 2: about this, just the way that he absorbs the game

88
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 2: and sees the game like he took me through when

89
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:22,720
Speaker 2: I had a chance to interview him after you signed

90
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 2: a contract. I talked to him about the Tyreek interception,

91
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 2: the first Tyreek interception, the one down in the south

92
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 2: end on fourth down where he's locked up Tyreek and

93
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:34,360
Speaker 2: made a play. And it was interesting because he took

94
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 2: me through what Tyreek had done three plays prior and realized,

95
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:41,720
Speaker 2: wait a second, that's not usually what Tyreek does, and

96
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 2: so kind he kind of clocked that and then took

97
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 2: that further into the play where he made the interception

98
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:49,360
Speaker 2: and realized, Okay, I know what he's trying to do

99
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:50,839
Speaker 2: based on what he did before.

100
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 1: He's not trying to do that.

101
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 2: And so Sting in practice on Tuesday, they're working a

102
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 2: situational drill and so they are ten seconds left.

103
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 1: It's ten tenut right before the half. You've got no timeouts.

104
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 2: Now it's it's not the most difficult logic in the world,

105
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:11,360
Speaker 2: but where does the team have to throw the ball

106
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:11,919
Speaker 2: at that point?

107
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 1: They have to throw the ball to the sidelines.

108
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:18,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, Sting figured it out as soon as as soon

109
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 2: as Davis dropped to throw, he broke for the sidelines

110
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 2: and Davis saw it and luckily threw it ten feet

111
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 2: over over both Sting and I think it was Christian

112
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 2: Kirk He's throwing to and it was like, that's what

113
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 2: you want really good players to do. You want them

114
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 2: to think through situations too, and it was clear Sting

115
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 2: was doing that. So that said Sting is number five

116
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 2: on their list, and they'll just prove that he has

117
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 2: to be number one.

118
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:41,360
Speaker 1: Well.

119
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 2: I found this one kind of along the same timeline,

120
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:48,360
Speaker 2: and I thought this probably, as you pointed out, probably

121
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 2: need a little bit deeper dive because there's a lot.

122
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:52,159
Speaker 1: There's a lot going on here.

123
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 2: PFF has ranked strengths, weaknesses, and X factors for every

124
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:01,719
Speaker 2: starting line up up in the NFL, and they have

125
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 2: ranked the roster or the starting lineups for every NFL team.

126
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:12,480
Speaker 1: Oh, NFL team one, let's go.

127
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 2: Based on roster. Okay, now I think this is pretty easy. Well,

128
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 2: what roster do you think PFF has at number one?

129
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 2: It's not the Texans, and it's not a Texans opponent

130
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 2: this year.

131
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:26,160
Speaker 1: Philly, Yes, Philly.

132
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 2: Biggest strength defense, biggest weakness passing game. All right, Uh,

133
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:34,600
Speaker 2: their X factor is Nolan Smith. Now he's coming off

134
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 2: with surgery. I can't remember what he had. He had,

135
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 2: he had a bang up parade. I don't know if

136
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 2: he remembered it, but then he had surgery a day after,

137
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 2: so he's still rehabbing from that.

138
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:48,040
Speaker 1: Uh. Their biggest Ricky to watch was John Campbell. Okay.

139
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:54,599
Speaker 2: Second question, where do you think they put the Texans roster.

140
00:06:55,360 --> 00:07:01,240
Speaker 1: Based on ross starting lineup? Rostereenth? Oh?

141
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:07,240
Speaker 3: Man, you are way off higher than that, I hope

142
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:07,920
Speaker 3: in a good way.

143
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 1: Oh good, you're yeah.

144
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 3: In fact, see I went negative because I felt like

145
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 3: you were going in this election.

146
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 1: I was.

147
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 2: I was conde lean in there, kind of kind of

148
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 2: deeky a little bit. The thirteenth, we're gonna go eighth.

149
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 2: You're close. Seven, okay, seven seven, which I thought was

150
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 2: sounds fair. Huh okay. Roster ranking, roster ranking. Now, a

151
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 2: couple of things. Number one, see if you agree with

152
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 2: these biggest strength in twenty twenty four, what would you

153
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 2: say it was?

154
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 1: Now? This is from twenty twenty four. Defense? Pass defense? Yeah, okay.

155
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 2: Between their pass rushing secondary, the Texas field are one

156
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 2: of the best pass defenses in the NFL. They were

157
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 2: one of three teams to place in the top ten

158
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 2: in both team PFF pass rush Grade and PFF coverage Grade.

159
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 2: The others were Super Bowl fifty nine combatants.

160
00:07:58,840 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 1: Eagles and Chiefs.

161
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 2: Houston is one of the league's best edge perrings and

162
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 2: will Anston junior ninth under.

163
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 1: The not eighth or ninth on the.

164
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 2: Edge rusher and Daniel Hunter, who was twelve to go

165
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 2: along with a young, impressive cornerback Duro Derrek Stingley junior

166
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 2: number five amongst corners, Kamaria Lasser number thirty one, which

167
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 2: we pointed out last night. Kamari's listed at number thirty

168
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 2: one even though he was top fifteen in their advance

169
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 2: grading and number.

170
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 1: One in completion percentage against.

171
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 3: That's amazing, yet thirty one because they don't want to

172
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 3: put a rookie up there.

173
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's exactly right, even though their own.

174
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:37,200
Speaker 2: Numbers be lie this. Yeah, that's exactly right. Our numbers

175
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 2: are telling us this, and we live on our numbers.

176
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:40,440
Speaker 2: But no, we're gonna make him thirty one.

177
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:41,840
Speaker 1: Whatever.

178
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:47,959
Speaker 2: Biggest weakness in twenty twenty four pass blocking offensive line

179
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 2: C J. Stroud experienced a slight regression from his incredible

180
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:52,760
Speaker 2: rookie season, most of which can be attributed to the

181
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 2: offensive line's failures in Texas dealt the league's eighth lowest

182
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:59,320
Speaker 2: graded offensive line last year, making matters worse.

183
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:01,720
Speaker 1: Team traded. Lend me tell the Commanders this offseason.

184
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:05,720
Speaker 2: Okay, X factor for twenty twenty five for the Texans,

185
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:09,800
Speaker 2: the X factor is going to think about what you

186
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:10,960
Speaker 2: just answered.

187
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 3: With the pass blocking and the offensive line. Yeah, it's

188
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 3: the offensive line. So it's a player. It's a player.

189
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 2: They use one player instead of like a unit.

190
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:22,280
Speaker 1: They have one player. One player is going to be

191
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:25,840
Speaker 1: the X factor at C. J. Stroud. It is tackle

192
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 1: Cam Robinson.

193
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:30,600
Speaker 3: So to them, X factor means we don't know what

194
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 3: this variable is going to think, so too to this

195
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 3: team not sure. When people talk about X factors, usually

196
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 3: to me, that means this is the difference maker. Yeah,

197
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:43,360
Speaker 3: this is the chemical that's going to change the entire

198
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 3: potion and make it shine.

199
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:49,640
Speaker 1: I don't look at X factor. I look at variable.

200
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:54,840
Speaker 3: The way they're describing it, variable is what you want

201
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:57,320
Speaker 3: to put on Camp Robinson because you don't know what

202
00:09:57,360 --> 00:09:59,080
Speaker 3: that's going to mean to this football team. So you

203
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:01,439
Speaker 3: see it in the flesh, all right. So anyway, whatever

204
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:02,439
Speaker 3: that's their X fact.

205
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 1: Their X factor is Cam Robinson.

206
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 2: What do they say about him? Robinson, whom Houston signed

207
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 2: free agency. Will a tempt phill theermy Tunsel's shoes. He's

208
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 2: been consistently Belowvidge's career. Phil and a great is the

209
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:14,560
Speaker 2: top forty tackle during any of his eight seasons. If

210
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 2: he can't adequately protect c. J. Stroud's blind blindside second

211
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:23,520
Speaker 2: round pick, ariante ursery could be given a shot. So

212
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:27,200
Speaker 2: they when they list the starters, they have Cam Robbins.

213
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:28,680
Speaker 2: Let me get that in a second, because.

214
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:30,720
Speaker 3: When you say X factor, isn't there a TV show

215
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 3: X factor like American Idol or whatever it was used

216
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 3: to be, where this person has the X factor. Yeah,

217
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 3: it's hard to describe. Madonna has the X factor. She's

218
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:43,319
Speaker 3: not that good looking. She's not a great dancer, she's

219
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:45,560
Speaker 3: not a great singer. The songs are catchy, but they're

220
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:48,719
Speaker 3: not amazing masterpieces. Yet you put it all together and

221
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:50,600
Speaker 3: the hole is greater than the some of the parts,

222
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 3: and that's the X factor.

223
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 1: Yeah.

224
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 2: Anyway, I think they're looking at X factor as this

225
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:58,520
Speaker 2: is the way I think they're looking at it. X

226
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:05,199
Speaker 2: factor being someone who is not one of the big stars,

227
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 2: but needs to perform well for a particular unit or

228
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 2: whatever it might be, to perform at a high level,

229
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:17,160
Speaker 2: like for the Eagles, it was Nolan Smith. For the

230
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:21,560
Speaker 2: Baltimore Ravens, it's Andrew voorhe's at guard because they've lost

231
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:23,880
Speaker 2: a few offensive linments before he's comes back.

232
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 1: For the Lions, the X factor is Aiden Hutchinson.

233
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 2: So so they're kind of say, yeah, it's.

234
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 3: The re addition of Aiden Hutchinson means this to the

235
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:36,680
Speaker 3: right and lost its coordinator by the way, and they've

236
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 3: got some things to deal with.

237
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 1: They do have things to do with.

238
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:43,680
Speaker 3: But to them, to PFF, this further proves how analytical

239
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:45,440
Speaker 3: they are. Yet you're right about the last that their

240
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:47,439
Speaker 3: thirty one ranking, it doesn't make any sense according to

241
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 3: their own numbers. They don't look at things like chemistry. Yeah,

242
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 3: they don't have a chemistry number in there because that's

243
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 3: hard to quantify. It's a qualifying thing. And that's where

244
00:11:58,320 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 3: they fall short.

245
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 1: Because well, to.

246
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:03,720
Speaker 3: Make matters worse, they traded Laramie tunsl Well why did

247
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 3: they trade Laramie Tunsil?

248
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 1: Right, riddle me this, PF.

249
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:09,440
Speaker 2: Well, that's obviously what happens when you have a quantitative

250
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:14,600
Speaker 2: basis for anything, and that's what happens. Well, well that's

251
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:17,439
Speaker 2: say this, Well, and I'm not just talking about Laramy.

252
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:20,800
Speaker 2: I'm just talking about just life in general basketball.

253
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 1: What that guy's a twenty point a game.

254
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:26,959
Speaker 2: Scorer, Yeah, okay, but doesn't play defense, ball gets sticky

255
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 2: in his hands.

256
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:29,240
Speaker 1: What is he in the last two minutes of a game?

257
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 2: How clutches he? How good is he in game seven?

258
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:34,080
Speaker 2: I feel like I'm talking about James Harden. Maybe i am,

259
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 2: but that's but those are things that well, we can't

260
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 2: and that's what that's why it bothers me. Abou Kamari Laster,

261
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 2: like PFF, sometimes relies solely on their numbers. The numbers

262
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:47,600
Speaker 2: say this, but then they do a list like that,

263
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:49,440
Speaker 2: and they're like, well the numbers say this, but.

264
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:51,160
Speaker 1: You know, we really don't believe in them.

265
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 2: What like, the numbers are what they are, Well, like,

266
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:56,800
Speaker 2: are you gonna argue with them or not?

267
00:12:56,960 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 1: And so do they say about the Texans so X fact.

268
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 2: There was Cam Robinson rookie to watch, I would say

269
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:05,800
Speaker 2: it's someone obvious.

270
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 3: They probably say Higgins because he's right there.

271
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 1: That's very good. You know, he's a top pick.

272
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:18,040
Speaker 3: I think, look all the rookies or rookies to watch stuff,

273
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 3: but certainly Higgens. You know, Higgins by the way. We

274
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 3: haven't talked. So Noel was resting up on Tuesday.

275
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:28,559
Speaker 1: Or whatever something. Yeah, we didn't se him. Yeah we

276
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 1: didnt seehim. We didn't se him practice Tuesday for whatever reason.

277
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:35,840
Speaker 2: Don't know what that means. No information, no offseason surgery,

278
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:41,840
Speaker 2: we don't know. But early on Noel very noticeable.

279
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 3: Apparently it's going to embrace this thing and adapt very

280
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:48,120
Speaker 3: well to the NFL.

281
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:50,280
Speaker 1: It just looks that way in OTAs. But we could

282
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:51,760
Speaker 1: be wrong. I don't know. That's all we have to

283
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 1: go on.

284
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:57,240
Speaker 3: Right, Yes, o Ta performed, but Higgins from practice to

285
00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:03,200
Speaker 3: practice seeing it. I am seeing it and it looks good. Yeah,

286
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:06,200
Speaker 3: it looks very interesting. Yep, so let's just keep it.

287
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:07,680
Speaker 1: I'm with you on that. Here's what they said.

288
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:11,360
Speaker 2: Texas drafted two iviystay receivers, Jadon Higgins and Jalen Noel,

289
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 2: and we'll highlight the former here. Higgins led all power

290
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:17,840
Speaker 2: for receivers with a ninety point five PFF receiving grades

291
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:18,440
Speaker 2: past season.

292
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 1: He's great size at six four two fifteen.

293
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 2: If he can hit the ground running as a rookie,

294
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:25,520
Speaker 2: he can seize John Metchie. The third job is the

295
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:28,280
Speaker 2: starting outside receiver opposite Nico Collins.

296
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 1: Okay, I've got a lot of thoughts on what I'm

297
00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:32,200
Speaker 1: about to say.

298
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 2: Say, a lot of thoughts of what I'm about to

299
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:38,200
Speaker 2: see insight. Then they put the projected twenty twenty five

300
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 2: starting lineup. Okay, ooh, I want to hear remember this

301
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:44,800
Speaker 2: last sentence. If he can hit the ground running as

302
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:47,520
Speaker 2: a rookie, he can seize John Metchie the third job

303
00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 2: as the starting outside receiver opposite Nico Collins. Now, what

304
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 2: do they watch the Texans? I mean Mechi has played

305
00:14:57,280 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 2: I don't want to say one hundred percent on the inside,

306
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:03,360
Speaker 2: but he has played in the slot the majure lot.

307
00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:06,960
Speaker 2: In fact, I'm gonna go, I'm gonna look at something

308
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:07,440
Speaker 2: as I.

309
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:12,320
Speaker 3: Have that information in their database exactly exactly. That's that's

310
00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 3: what makes no sense to what they do. Isn't this

311
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:15,920
Speaker 3: what you guys do here?

312
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:17,480
Speaker 1: Right? That's success?

313
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:20,920
Speaker 3: He runs excess number of routes from the slot position,

314
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:24,320
Speaker 3: from inside the numbers, or wherever you want to describe

315
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 3: it as.

316
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 2: Now, I know there are times where a guy can

317
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 2: end up being in a different spot.

318
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:31,240
Speaker 1: I wonder if I.

319
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 2: Can, let's see, I don't know if I'll be able

320
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 2: to do this. I don't know if I uh passing

321
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:37,320
Speaker 2: snaps running snaps?

322
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 1: Oh, here we go.

323
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 2: By position, I would tend to disagree with this, but

324
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:50,520
Speaker 2: either way, last year John had four hundred fifty eight snaps.

325
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:53,600
Speaker 2: I think my numbers are right if I'm matting upright.

326
00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:58,200
Speaker 2: For Yeah, four or fifty eight snaps. Two and fifty

327
00:15:58,240 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 2: four were from the slot.

328
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:02,920
Speaker 3: Okay, But he's the starting outside receiver opposite Nico Collins.

329
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:04,720
Speaker 1: Recording and whyde is two two?

330
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:08,600
Speaker 2: So when they went through and they did so, he

331
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:12,920
Speaker 2: had fifty two more slot snaps than he did outside snaps.

332
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:17,680
Speaker 2: But he has the starting outside job according to PFF.

333
00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:21,720
Speaker 2: So the offense and they and they put twelve guys

334
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 2: two four, six, eight, ten twelve. They put twelve guys

335
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:30,880
Speaker 2: because as starting running backs.

336
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:34,200
Speaker 1: Plural, they have Joe Mixon and Damian Pierce. What he marks,

337
00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 1: they don't have Damian Piers.

338
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:38,440
Speaker 3: They just put what he marks because we drafted what

339
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:41,080
Speaker 3: he marks in the fourth round. That means he's starting, yeah,

340
00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:44,240
Speaker 3: or one of the two starters according to the starters.

341
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:48,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, wide receivers weird. They have Nico Collins, Christian Kirk,

342
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:51,880
Speaker 2: John Metchi. They just moved Mechi up on the depth chart.

343
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:54,960
Speaker 2: That's all they really did. Tight end Old Schultz and

344
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 2: the offensive line left tackle Cam Robinson, left guard Titus Howard,

345
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:03,600
Speaker 2: senator Jared Patterson, right guard Juice Scrugs, right tackle Blake Fisher.

346
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:06,760
Speaker 3: So they haven't been out at OTAs. You're telling me

347
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:09,160
Speaker 3: that they have not been watching ots, which is fine.

348
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 3: I don't expect them to.

349
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:12,480
Speaker 2: They're two weeks in the OTA's and they're putting on

350
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:14,840
Speaker 2: this article though, it's like, what.

351
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:15,160
Speaker 1: Are we doing?

352
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:18,560
Speaker 3: You could read Texans coverage. You gonna read Jonathan Alexander

353
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 3: and djb enemy and figure out that, you know what,

354
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:24,880
Speaker 3: they're not really working with that lineup the way they

355
00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:30,239
Speaker 3: put it in writing that much, if at all. So

356
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:34,199
Speaker 3: I get doing this four weeks ago and coming up

357
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:37,680
Speaker 3: with that lineup Blake Fisher, right tackle, that's what they had. Yeah,

358
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 3: and but Scruggs is the big one here at right guard.

359
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 3: I get coming up with that four weeks ago. Okay, fine,

360
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:44,040
Speaker 3: starting point.

361
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:46,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, four weeks ago, but articles posted two days ago

362
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:47,480
Speaker 2: after like.

363
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:50,800
Speaker 3: Two weeks OTAs read your coverage of your team.

364
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:51,720
Speaker 1: What are we doing?

365
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:53,960
Speaker 3: I mean, that's how you get information this time of year,

366
00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:58,880
Speaker 3: and it's not exactly like secret digging and uncovering classified information.

367
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:01,600
Speaker 1: This is out there and win. This is media coverage.

368
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:05,239
Speaker 1: They've been talking about the lineups all two weeks in, right,

369
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:08,199
Speaker 1: they have not lined up that.

370
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:10,040
Speaker 3: All we have is two weeks of OTAs that we've seen.

371
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 3: It feels like we've been in this for a while

372
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:13,680
Speaker 3: and they've got many camp next week.

373
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:18,760
Speaker 2: But then it's over and we've been out on don't homots.

374
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:22,320
Speaker 2: We've seen two, three, whatever it might four, four, You

375
00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:24,600
Speaker 2: and I have seen four. They have not lined up

376
00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:28,600
Speaker 2: in that configuration one time. No, they haven't not once. Yeah,

377
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:29,679
Speaker 2: not one time.

378
00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:31,280
Speaker 1: In that configuration.

379
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:33,680
Speaker 3: I don't think they've done that with juice there at

380
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:36,480
Speaker 3: that point, then they have the start defense.

381
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 1: Okay, let's let's hear it.

382
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:41,879
Speaker 2: So on the edge, Well, i'll say it for a second.

383
00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:45,480
Speaker 2: Inside Tim Settle fully fought a CASSI.

384
00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:49,719
Speaker 3: Do they know that Rankins has been resigned to this team?

385
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 3: Are they aware of this? I'm not saying. I'm not

386
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:56,480
Speaker 3: saying that Settle might not start or whatever.

387
00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:57,960
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean maybe it does start.

388
00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:02,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, anyway, to get hung up on the tackles and

389
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:04,640
Speaker 3: and we just see them shuffling them in and out.

390
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:06,879
Speaker 3: I mean, it's a hockey line change every couple of

391
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:10,199
Speaker 3: snaps on that defensive line as far as the tackles go,

392
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 3: and the.

393
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:15,119
Speaker 2: Ends too, by the way, So they have foleis grade

394
00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:17,240
Speaker 2: from last year thirty five point six.

395
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:18,800
Speaker 1: That's a low grade for them.

396
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:21,879
Speaker 3: That's horrible to the scale of one hundred, right, yeah,

397
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:22,960
Speaker 3: thirty five?

398
00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:26,320
Speaker 1: What the hell? What things looked like when he was

399
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 1: not in the lineup? Good lord, I'm I'm like doing yawless.

400
00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:36,360
Speaker 3: But when he was out, we were thinking, oh man,

401
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:40,600
Speaker 3: we really miss him because he was she gets so thin,

402
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 3: got so thin without.

403
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:47,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, they gave him a thirty three point three thirty

404
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:50,600
Speaker 2: three point nine run grade.

405
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:53,760
Speaker 3: Like they don't like guys wings, they don't like people

406
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:56,520
Speaker 3: from burrows other than Manhattan.

407
00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:58,280
Speaker 1: I don't know what. He's one hundred and.

408
00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:04,199
Speaker 2: Sixteenth on the into your defensive list, Like what like,

409
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:06,600
Speaker 2: are you huh?

410
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:08,520
Speaker 1: That doesn't make any sense?

411
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:11,800
Speaker 2: Okay that that I mean either way, But they've got

412
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:14,080
Speaker 2: him in the starters and they because they got the

413
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:16,760
Speaker 2: grades next to each guys they go through all right, Edge,

414
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:19,679
Speaker 2: Will Anderson Junior, Danio Hunter, Darryl Taylor.

415
00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 1: Wait what, yeah, exactly did they look at the roster

416
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 1: what I thought you would.

417
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:31,800
Speaker 2: And look, I almost say this, I think Darryl Taylor

418
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:33,640
Speaker 2: is going to factor in for this team.

419
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:35,800
Speaker 1: Okay, good, I think he's going to factor.

420
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:38,879
Speaker 3: In guy on the team who scored two touchdowns at

421
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:45,800
Speaker 3: defensive end that they don't mention Derek Way, they don't

422
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:46,440
Speaker 3: mention nic.

423
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:48,040
Speaker 1: They don't mention Nico Autry at all.

424
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:51,320
Speaker 3: All right, but they mentioned Taylor because he's a new addition,

425
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:52,160
Speaker 3: I guess.

426
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:55,600
Speaker 2: But then they couldn't mention any new aditions over on all.

427
00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:58,320
Speaker 1: Like this is where they come off looking really bad. Exactly.

428
00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:00,920
Speaker 3: I bet with the top four or fivesters in the league,

429
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:02,640
Speaker 3: they spent a lot of time.

430
00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:03,640
Speaker 1: I have ins.

431
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:05,919
Speaker 2: But Mark, it's not as if we're talking about number

432
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:07,680
Speaker 2: thirty or three one. Like if if you would have

433
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:12,200
Speaker 2: done this in twenty twenty two, we could have done

434
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:15,240
Speaker 2: this exercise and gone wow, I don't know. I mean,

435
00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:18,040
Speaker 2: this is the number seven team as they've rated it,

436
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:19,640
Speaker 2: and they know nothing about it.

437
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:22,720
Speaker 3: I remember fighting to get higher than twenty eighth in

438
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:23,480
Speaker 3: the power rankings.

439
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:25,959
Speaker 1: Yeah okay, and we got to twenty seven. We were

440
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:26,760
Speaker 1: like throwing a party.

441
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:28,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, It's like, well, I don't think we have an

442
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:32,800
Speaker 3: argument about twenty six, but we're certainly better than twenty eighth.

443
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:35,440
Speaker 1: So there's that. The rest of it.

444
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:38,600
Speaker 2: There's only one thing that stands out the rest of

445
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:40,120
Speaker 2: because the rest of it that I think they got right.

446
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:44,479
Speaker 2: Henry Toto is he's linebacker. Then they got CJ. Gardner, Johnson,

447
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:47,920
Speaker 2: Calen Block at safety, Stingley Lasser a corner.

448
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:51,600
Speaker 3: They have Jalen Petrie list as a corner, but they

449
00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:53,720
Speaker 3: have them as the nickel because that's how I know.

450
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:55,840
Speaker 1: But they haven't listened to a corner, so.

451
00:21:57,320 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 2: They and I don't know whether the new CBA will

452
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 2: will will attempt to do this whenever the new CBA

453
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:07,680
Speaker 2: comes into effect. But like for the offensive line, there's

454
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:13,040
Speaker 2: one franchise tag number one right one. So what you

455
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:16,320
Speaker 2: would give to a left tackle as a franchise tag number,

456
00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:19,000
Speaker 2: you'd have to give to a center as a franchise

457
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:19,800
Speaker 2: tag guard like.

458
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:22,439
Speaker 1: The or guard the same amount of money. Crazy.

459
00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 2: It's kind of one of the Ravens didn't give the

460
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:29,120
Speaker 2: fifth year to Tyler Linnerbaum. We're like, look, we're gonna

461
00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:30,840
Speaker 2: get a deal done, and we'd love this guy. He's great,

462
00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:34,920
Speaker 2: but we can't. We can't give him that number.

463
00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:38,200
Speaker 3: I think the union wants it that way though he

464
00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:41,160
Speaker 3: wants to tag that way. Oh yeah, they just don't

465
00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 3: want because I remember good point. You know, certain guys

466
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:46,639
Speaker 3: if they move from tackle to guard, they want to

467
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:47,679
Speaker 3: get paid like a tackle.

468
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:49,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, especially a left tackle.

469
00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:51,720
Speaker 3: Right, But if you get franchised at the left tackle

470
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:54,560
Speaker 3: right in your guard, you're happy about that if you're

471
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:55,359
Speaker 3: franch Well, that's.

472
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:57,520
Speaker 2: What happened to Trey Smith. Tray Smith got no, it

473
00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:00,520
Speaker 2: was one other, but Tray Smith got franchised at guard.

474
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:00,880
Speaker 1: For the Chiefs. Yeah.

475
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:02,400
Speaker 3: I mean you don't want to get franchise, don't get

476
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:04,400
Speaker 3: me wrong about this, listeners, I know you don't want

477
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:04,960
Speaker 3: to get franchise.

478
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:06,160
Speaker 1: You'd rather have to make contract.

479
00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:09,520
Speaker 3: But if that tag will be applied, you'd rather have

480
00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:10,840
Speaker 3: it applied at that salary.

481
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:13,520
Speaker 1: If you're a center or guard. Yes, so a.

482
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:15,159
Speaker 3: Nickel corner is not going to make as much as

483
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:16,080
Speaker 3: an outside corner.

484
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:20,359
Speaker 2: Correct, But are you listed at corner? It's it's a

485
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:23,240
Speaker 2: mood point because this contract, right, but it would he

486
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:24,359
Speaker 2: rather be listed at corner?

487
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:27,840
Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, probably much corner number. I would imagine.

488
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:31,359
Speaker 3: Chester Pitts guard tackle will be paid clown guard or

489
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:33,240
Speaker 3: a tackle clowny the number.

490
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:35,760
Speaker 2: Clowney clowning was they had they had decided was it's

491
00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:37,760
Speaker 2: a linebacker defense man. Now the Texans made it right,

492
00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:40,280
Speaker 2: like they they bridged the difference or we're going to

493
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:43,840
Speaker 2: between the difference between defensive and outside linebackers. So it

494
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:45,760
Speaker 2: got to be kind of odd. But I saw when

495
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:48,600
Speaker 2: I saw CB. I'm so used to seeing either Nby

496
00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:52,399
Speaker 2: or the five cent sign next to Jalen's peat was

497
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:55,120
Speaker 2: which is what I put or s yeah or even

498
00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 2: that way, So when I see CB, I'm like, what

499
00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:01,000
Speaker 2: I mean, I did a com coleet doubletons.

500
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:04,040
Speaker 3: This is why in the era of Cully and Lovey too,

501
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:09,000
Speaker 3: or maybe just Cully, when everybody was listed as a dB, dB,

502
00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:12,600
Speaker 3: just dB. In some ways that made sense because what

503
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:14,359
Speaker 3: is pre Is he a safety?

504
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:15,040
Speaker 1: Is he a nickel?

505
00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:15,399
Speaker 4: What is he?

506
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:18,360
Speaker 1: He's a dB? There's yeah, there's some guy like Petree

507
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:21,040
Speaker 1: falls into that category. Linebacker too. I mean he's all

508
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:24,800
Speaker 1: of that. Yeah exactly, he plays right, He's one where

509
00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:26,280
Speaker 1: you could put dB next to his name.

510
00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:28,920
Speaker 2: I go, yeah, okay, yeah, even like Jaylen Smith to

511
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:31,800
Speaker 2: the rookie, I kind of do the same thing, like, yeah,

512
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:33,320
Speaker 2: you can put dB next to his name because he

513
00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:34,960
Speaker 2: could play a nickel. He could probably play a little

514
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:38,400
Speaker 2: bit outside, like okay, dB, seems that would that would fit.

515
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:44,000
Speaker 2: I think I think Jalen has really become He's he's

516
00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:50,800
Speaker 2: nickel like that's but underlying what nickel represents part linebacker,

517
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:53,679
Speaker 2: like you said, part linebacker, part safety, part corner, kind

518
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:55,639
Speaker 2: of all that. Yeah, you just put dB and it

519
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:58,240
Speaker 2: kind of covers it, you know, So I get that.

520
00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:04,919
Speaker 2: So Texans with the number seven best roster in the NFL.

521
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:06,640
Speaker 2: Now I gave you number one, or you figured out

522
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:12,280
Speaker 2: number one. How many teams will the Texans face that

523
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:15,640
Speaker 2: have a stronger starting lineup.

524
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:18,240
Speaker 3: Roster according to pff or in the PFFK, I'm gonna

525
00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:20,800
Speaker 3: go one, two, I'm gonna go Chiefs, Ravens.

526
00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:24,439
Speaker 1: I'll did they put the Bills ahead of the Texans.

527
00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:28,399
Speaker 2: They'll go in order, Chiefs number four, Okay, okay, So

528
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:29,520
Speaker 2: yes we're the Ravens.

529
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:31,000
Speaker 1: They're right there. They're number one.

530
00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:31,240
Speaker 4: Two.

531
00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:32,160
Speaker 1: Okay, they're too.

532
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:35,639
Speaker 2: They're always number two. They are always one, two or

533
00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:39,639
Speaker 2: three and have not gotten to but one AFC championship game.

534
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:43,160
Speaker 1: Wow, how about that? Okay, They've got.

535
00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 2: So Eagles one, Ravens two, number three. We will play,

536
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:52,120
Speaker 2: but not in the regular season. Oh really, so they're

537
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:56,760
Speaker 2: gonna go with Detroit. Detroit's right, Detroit at number three.

538
00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:59,440
Speaker 1: I'd say that's fair. Yeah, Chiefs are at four.

539
00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:03,560
Speaker 3: Texas do not. Oh, the Texas play five and six.

540
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:04,880
Speaker 3: So it's Buffalo.

541
00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:06,000
Speaker 1: Yes, is five?

542
00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:11,120
Speaker 2: Six is a little I don't know. I couldn't get

543
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:15,560
Speaker 2: there with six, to be honest. Buccaneers Nope, opener.

544
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:17,120
Speaker 1: Wow.

545
00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:19,639
Speaker 3: Really, So the Rams are ahead of the Texans in

546
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:24,960
Speaker 3: total roster. Well, you know, they drafted those rookies and

547
00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:27,080
Speaker 3: they're playing. They're balling out on defense.

548
00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:31,880
Speaker 2: They added Devonte Adams. Although Avante wasn't great, he still

549
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:35,399
Speaker 2: was good in twenty twenty four. And then you've got

550
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:37,880
Speaker 2: all those, like you said, the rookies from last year,

551
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:40,880
Speaker 2: Jared Verse, who was defensive player, Defensive Rookie of the Year.

552
00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:44,400
Speaker 1: Poona Ford they signed, who was great with the Chargers.

553
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:47,960
Speaker 2: He's a they love him at PFF his grades eighty five, like,

554
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:49,480
Speaker 2: they absolutely love him.

555
00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:52,000
Speaker 1: But then you look at the secondary and I'm like,

556
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:53,840
Speaker 1: all we got to do is get the ball off.

557
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:57,679
Speaker 3: We just have to get the ball. All they've got

558
00:26:57,760 --> 00:26:59,760
Speaker 3: that pass rush with those guys, but they've got the past.

559
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:02,960
Speaker 3: Sharon Donald, no problem apparently. Yeah, who's eighth.

560
00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:07,560
Speaker 1: The one behind us is another team we will face,

561
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:11,520
Speaker 1: but not in the regular season. So that's Minnesota. Minnesota. Yeah, Vikings,

562
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:12,840
Speaker 1: Caroline Vikings at eight.

563
00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:17,719
Speaker 2: Round number nine play a little bit of a surprise,

564
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:19,320
Speaker 2: a playoff team last year, a team.

565
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:23,000
Speaker 1: The Texans will play here for the second time in

566
00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:25,640
Speaker 1: three years. Denver. Denver Broncos are at number nine.

567
00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:29,280
Speaker 2: Uh, biggest train, twenty four in the defense, biggest weakness

568
00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:32,840
Speaker 2: offensive weaponry. They added Evan Ingram at tight end. That's

569
00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:34,040
Speaker 2: gonna I think it's gonna be good for them and

570
00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:34,840
Speaker 2: they can watch R. J.

571
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:37,639
Speaker 1: Harvey. Number ten is a team you just mentioned, the

572
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:39,200
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

573
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:46,080
Speaker 2: So so out of the top ten, we play Ravens, Chiefs, Bills, Rams,

574
00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:51,840
Speaker 2: Buck Bucks, Broncos, Bucks, so six, sixth, and then we're seven.

575
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:54,280
Speaker 1: So through those teams, you know, play god for the

576
00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:59,919
Speaker 1: AFC South. Yeah. Now other teams in the division, Jaguar,

577
00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:02,080
Speaker 1: where are they? What do you think?

578
00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:04,520
Speaker 3: I bet they're not as low as you think. I'm

579
00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:09,640
Speaker 3: gonna say nineteenth twenty five. Okay, I'm off.

580

Speaker 2: I'm biggest strengthened twenty four and improved supporting cast for

581
00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:15,920
Speaker 2: Trevor Lawrence. Biggest weakness one of the NFL's worst defenses

582
00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:21,000
Speaker 2: X Factor Draymond Walker rookery to watch du Oh my god,

Speaker 2: offensive defense? I just said yes, I played him at both.

602
00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:00,960
Speaker 2: I was like, man, I give up my draft. I'd

603
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:02,200
Speaker 2: go up and get him. We put him at one

604
00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:03,760
Speaker 2: of our wide receiver spots and put him in one

605
00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:06,240
Speaker 2: of our corner spots and we locked people the hell

624
00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:05,680
Speaker 1: What are they twenty? Okay, twenty?

625
00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:10,320
Speaker 2: So you'll play six games against the twenty twenty fifth

626
00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:15,360
Speaker 2: and thirty first best starting lineups as seen by PFF.

627
00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:17,040
Speaker 1: And again these are just numbers. Whatever.

628
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:20,720
Speaker 3: I'm going to say this the AFC South teams and

629
00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:22,080
Speaker 3: you and I will spend a lot more time on

630
00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:25,320
Speaker 3: this in the coming weeks. You have to look at

631
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:28,120
Speaker 3: the positives in that you better be ready for them

632
00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:32,200
Speaker 3: right when you evaluate these teams. You can't be surprised

633
00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:34,680
Speaker 3: when they do good things, because this is the NFL.

634
00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:38,880
Speaker 3: Teams bounce back, they draft well, things change Travis Hunter

635
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:42,800
Speaker 3: and Jacksonville example, maybe cam Ward makes some noise in Tennessee.

636
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:47,160
Speaker 3: Maybe Indy finds a way to exhuom whatever game is

637
00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:49,400
Speaker 3: left of Daniel Jones from two years ago when he

638
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:51,960
Speaker 3: went to the playoffs and beat the Vikings at their place.

639
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:54,600
Speaker 1: So that's all possible. So you got to be ready

640
00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:54,760
Speaker 1: for that.

641
00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:58,120
Speaker 2: You definitely have to be Colt's biggest strength O line

642
00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:03,240
Speaker 2: biggest weakness. Know that the X factor for twenty twenty five.

643
00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:05,640
Speaker 2: See I don't see this as X factor. I think

644
00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:10,320
Speaker 2: this is the factor for twenty twenty five is Anthony Richardson.

645
00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:13,480
Speaker 2: Here's what PFF says. It's truly now or never for

646
00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:16,600
Speaker 2: Richardson in Indianapolis. He has a strong offensive line in

647
00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:19,040
Speaker 2: front of him, a good running back good i'mbout great

648
00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:21,080
Speaker 2: running back in Jonathan Taylor, and one of the better

649
00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:24,760
Speaker 2: receiver corps in football. If he can't become more accurate

650
00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:27,600
Speaker 2: in year three, he could quickly be replaced by highly

651
00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:29,360
Speaker 2: paid free AGENC signing Daniel Jones.

652
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:32,320
Speaker 1: First of all, Daniel Jones makes thirteen million a year.

653
00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:33,760
Speaker 1: That is peanuts.

654
00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:36,760
Speaker 2: That is not highly paid. I don't I would argue

655
00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:40,160
Speaker 2: with that. He's I don't like, he's not an X

656
00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:43,280
Speaker 2: factor to me, like he is the factor. But I

657
00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:45,120
Speaker 2: guess in the way they've structured this article, you have

658
00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:47,800
Speaker 2: to you have to go with it. They label Anthony

659
00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:51,960
Speaker 2: Richardson as the starter. They say he's the starter, and

660
00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:54,720
Speaker 2: that's that's what they're going with. But one of the

661
00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:57,480
Speaker 2: things they talk about in twenty four was their offensive line.

662
00:31:57,560 --> 00:32:00,160
Speaker 2: They replaced the two starters in the offensive line to.

663
00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:02,120
Speaker 1: Do a whole show on the Colts because now that

664
00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:02,920
Speaker 1: Jim R.

665
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:06,160
Speaker 3: Say has passed and we always thought he got involved,

666
00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:08,440
Speaker 3: he was getting all this praise for not getting involved.

667
00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:12,520
Speaker 3: Who the hell hired Jeff's Saturday? Did they forget about that?

668
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:16,440
Speaker 3: That was just two years ago? Exactly did Gallard hire

669
00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:18,480
Speaker 3: Jeff's Saturday to freaking coach the team?

670
00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:20,520
Speaker 1: No, he got involved. Are you kidding?

671
00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:20,880
Speaker 5: Oh?

672
00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:24,479
Speaker 1: He doesn't get involved. He gets involved. Absolutely got involved.

673
00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:25,800
Speaker 1: There's no there's no doubt about that.

674
00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:28,040
Speaker 2: All right, the guy that's getting involved with the Texans,

675
00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:31,840
Speaker 2: and he thought a very highly around the league, thought

676
00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:35,360
Speaker 2: a very highly around Houston. Mamori Laster, alongside Jalen Petrie

677
00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:37,320
Speaker 2: and Christian Kirk went to the Mike Web Little Texans

678
00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:40,480
Speaker 2: Audio jukebox from Kamari, Jalen and Christian. Next right here

679
00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:42,920
Speaker 2: at Texans All Access. All right, here we go Wednesday

680
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:45,560
Speaker 2: night edition of Texans All Acts. I appreciate you being

681
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:48,920
Speaker 2: with me. Welcome back to the show. We had Mark

682
00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:51,600
Speaker 2: and I in the first segment talking about this roster

683
00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:56,800
Speaker 2: for the Texans rang number seven by pff uh, pretty

684
00:32:56,840 --> 00:32:57,240
Speaker 2: good number.

685
00:32:57,360 --> 00:33:00,560
Speaker 1: I like it. It's not perfect, but I like it.

686
00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:01,360
Speaker 1: I like where it is.

687
00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:04,480
Speaker 2: Gotta play a number of teams in front, and that's

688
00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:08,240
Speaker 2: gonna be tough. Rams Broncos are two spots behind the Texans.

689
00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:12,520
Speaker 2: Ravens don't to play Eagles, but if you do play

690
00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:14,440
Speaker 2: the Eagles at twenty twenty five, this season will be

691
00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:16,880
Speaker 2: a huge success because that means we will play them

692
00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:20,520
Speaker 2: in the super Bowl. Now, one of the guys that's

693
00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:24,760
Speaker 2: going to be instrumental in that is Kamari lasted corner

694
00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:27,680
Speaker 2: for your Houston Texans, A damn good one at that,

695
00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:32,560
Speaker 2: and he was asked yesterday how good is this secondary.

696
00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:33,440
Speaker 1: Here's what he had to say.

697
00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:36,600
Speaker 5: I feel like with us, the sky could be the limit.

698
00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:38,720
Speaker 5: To be honest, I feel like, you know what the

699
00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:41,240
Speaker 5: success we had last year and the work that we

700
00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:43,080
Speaker 5: put in during the off season, and how we're grinding

701
00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:46,560
Speaker 5: right now and just trying to build chemistry and just

702
00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:49,120
Speaker 5: work on our technique and just play as one and

703
00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:50,480
Speaker 5: play fast and places, this is what I feel like

704
00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:52,040
Speaker 5: we can be very successful this year.

705
00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:55,400
Speaker 2: I like how he answered at the beginning, M Yeah,

706
00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:59,040
Speaker 2: I think the Skuy's limit. He's man, I love this dude.

707
00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:01,800
Speaker 2: I absolutely see what other Texans wanted to have him

708
00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:05,680
Speaker 2: here in the fold. He is fantastic on a number

709
00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:09,399
Speaker 2: of different levels. Now heading into year two, kn'ts rest

710
00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:12,080
Speaker 2: on your laurels. You gotta take that next step. So

711
00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:15,080
Speaker 2: Kamara was asked, what are you working on this year

712
00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:16,080
Speaker 2: to get ready for your two?

713
00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:16,400
Speaker 3: Uh?

714
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:18,480
Speaker 5: To be honest, we be here all day if I

715
00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:20,759
Speaker 5: wanted to tell you every single thing that I'm trying

716
00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:22,480
Speaker 5: to work on. But it's just to be honest, I

717
00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:24,760
Speaker 5: just want to become a better player, like just inside

718
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:27,840
Speaker 5: and out from understanding what's going on pre snap, understanding

719
00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:30,120
Speaker 5: office is better, understanding where my help is better, just

720
00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:33,200
Speaker 5: understanding rock recognition, or just doing the little things that

721
00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:36,080
Speaker 5: can make me more successful watching the other players play.

722
00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:38,120
Speaker 5: It's a lot of things that I really want to

723
00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:40,239
Speaker 5: work on. I can't tell you everything because I've been

724
00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:40,800
Speaker 5: here all day with you.

725
00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:42,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, Camar couldn't handle that one a little bit easier

726
00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:45,800
Speaker 2: and just said everything, because that I think is essentially

727
00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:47,400
Speaker 2: what he's saying is everything.

728
00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:49,920
Speaker 1: But you could see as the year we're on. Last year,

729
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:51,600
Speaker 1: you could just see his.

730
00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:55,200
Speaker 2: Smarts coming into play, Understanding rock concepts, what teams were

731
00:34:55,239 --> 00:34:56,840
Speaker 2: trying to do, hoither we're trying to set him up,

732
00:34:57,080 --> 00:34:59,400
Speaker 2: receiver releases, all that kind of stuff. I mean, he

733
00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:02,480
Speaker 2: was just fat last year, and hopefully there is more

734
00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:06,320
Speaker 2: to that now. He's gonna get honestly picked on. Teams

735
00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:08,319
Speaker 2: gotta have to pick their poison and pick it us

736
00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:11,000
Speaker 2: intelligently because the guy on the other side is Derek Stingley.

737
00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:14,200
Speaker 2: Here's Kamari talking about his relationship with staying in the

738
00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:15,000
Speaker 2: two of them on the field.

739
00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:17,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, I feel like from the moment I got drafted,

740
00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:19,920
Speaker 5: sting was actually the first person to hit me, Like

741
00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:22,360
Speaker 5: I got drafted. Two minutes later he takes me and

742
00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:24,000
Speaker 5: just from the moment that we met, you know, we

743
00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:26,239
Speaker 5: kind of instantly clicked. I kind of understood him, he

744
00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:28,560
Speaker 5: understood me, and we just talk a lot. Like Stain

745
00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:29,920
Speaker 5: doesn't talk to a lot of people, and he's not

746
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:31,359
Speaker 5: like a big talker, but like we talk a lot,

747
00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:33,800
Speaker 5: a lot about football, but not even just football, Like

748
00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:35,160
Speaker 5: we just we got really close.

749
00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:37,200
Speaker 1: Man. I love hearing that, And that's the vibe on

750
00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:37,640
Speaker 1: this team.

751
00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:37,879
Speaker 2: Man.

752
00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:40,840
Speaker 1: Close. Guys are very close. They hang a lot together.

753
00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:43,399
Speaker 2: I mean you can't walk down the hallway without seeing

754
00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:46,359
Speaker 2: Kamari and Kaylen together. Now you're throwing Jalen Smith who

755
00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:50,839
Speaker 2: was boys with Kaylen back at USC Derek who's Boys. Well,

756
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:53,520
Speaker 2: I mean that's a really tight secondary back there, and

757
00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:56,480
Speaker 2: I'd love to see the connection that they have back

758
00:35:56,520 --> 00:36:00,000
Speaker 2: there together. It's really really nice. Setting the tone huge

759
00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:02,799
Speaker 2: really important for this defense. Kamari sets it with physicality,

760
00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:06,279
Speaker 2: but here's him talking about doing that in year two,

761
00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:09,480
Speaker 2: setting the tone for this defense. Man.

762
00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:11,840
Speaker 5: It's like full circle because it feels like just yesterday me,

763
00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:15,440
Speaker 5: CB School, Beefish, Kade and all the other guys were

764
00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:17,400
Speaker 5: just coming in and we're the new young pups with

765
00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:19,680
Speaker 5: our eyes open, just trying to figure out I left

766
00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:21,320
Speaker 5: hand from my right foot. And now just seeing like

767
00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:23,120
Speaker 5: some of the younger guys coming in and you know,

768
00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:25,040
Speaker 5: they're just they're picking up so fast, and just me

769
00:36:25,160 --> 00:36:26,919
Speaker 5: being able to just kind of give him a little

770
00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:29,279
Speaker 5: bit of what Stayn gave me last year. Just game wise,

771
00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:31,319
Speaker 5: it just means a lot, because if I could pull

772
00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:33,200
Speaker 5: somebody along, I feel like I'm doing my job.

773
00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:35,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, when you hear him talk, it's sometimes you gotta

774
00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:38,440
Speaker 2: shake yourself. But he's just a second year guy. He's

775
00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:40,880
Speaker 2: only played one year in this league. Man, what is

776
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:42,239
Speaker 2: he going to be?

777
00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:42,839
Speaker 1: Man?

778
00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:45,920
Speaker 2: He is, He's fun and he's fun to listen to

779
00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:49,080
Speaker 2: as well. Here he is talking about the addition of CJ.

780
00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:51,200
Speaker 2: Gardner Johnson to this secondary.

781
00:36:51,360 --> 00:36:54,000
Speaker 5: Well, I don't like Florida, but CJ. I like the

782
00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:56,400
Speaker 5: fact that he's just he's himself. He's one hell of

783
00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:58,279
Speaker 5: a ball player. Like you know, he really understands the game.

784
00:36:58,280 --> 00:36:59,759
Speaker 5: He's played for a long time, and he comes with

785
00:36:59,840 --> 00:37:01,799
Speaker 5: his his own energy. He comes with he just comes

786
00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:04,120
Speaker 5: with his own passion and it affects the players around him.

787
00:37:04,120 --> 00:37:05,839
Speaker 5: Like you can see, like just watching this film, how

788
00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:07,800
Speaker 5: his energy and how he talks and how he just

789
00:37:07,840 --> 00:37:09,799
Speaker 5: plays a game like it affects people around him, whether

790
00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:11,160
Speaker 5: it's on the opposite side of the ball, whether it's

791
00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:11,799
Speaker 5: on his side of the ball.

792
00:37:11,960 --> 00:37:14,839
Speaker 2: Oh, he had to set the tone on that one. Oh,

793
00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:18,520
Speaker 2: I don't like Florida. I think Ben at Georgia bulldog man.

794
00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:20,600
Speaker 2: I'm telling you that it is one hell of a rivalry.

795
00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:24,400
Speaker 2: I've been to that game in Jacksonville many many times

796
00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:27,120
Speaker 2: and it is one hell of a war. So I

797
00:37:27,239 --> 00:37:29,359
Speaker 2: understand where he's coming from with that Florida Georgia hate.

798
00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:34,880
Speaker 2: That is faux show. Okay, stuck, Christian kirk Aggie, I

799
00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:37,800
Speaker 2: know a lot of you out there like that. This

800
00:37:38,680 --> 00:37:41,480
Speaker 2: I heard at some point I can't remember which of

801
00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:43,239
Speaker 2: the shows I was listening to on for Ratio six ten,

802
00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:47,440
Speaker 2: but he was asked about this new Nick Cayley slash

803
00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:51,239
Speaker 2: Texans offense and how he sees it and how he

804
00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:52,759
Speaker 2: feels about it, what he likes about it.

805
00:37:53,160 --> 00:37:56,560
Speaker 4: Nick is all ball, very intelligent, very smart, does a

806
00:37:56,600 --> 00:38:00,279
Speaker 4: great job communicating to us, you know, what the expectations are,

807
00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:04,640
Speaker 4: route detail, you know, motions, formations, whatever the case may be.

808
00:38:04,719 --> 00:38:06,359
Speaker 4: He's done a great job kind of laying that out

809
00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:09,560
Speaker 4: for us, and it's been I guess primarily pretty easy,

810
00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:11,359
Speaker 4: you know, just being able to learn it the way

811
00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:14,320
Speaker 4: he's been able to install it. You know, Ben McDaniels

812
00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:16,160
Speaker 4: in our room has done a great job teaching us

813
00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:19,240
Speaker 4: just all the things from a football like Q aspect

814
00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:19,680
Speaker 4: that you need.

815
00:38:19,719 --> 00:38:20,520
Speaker 1: To know as a receiver.

816
00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:23,920
Speaker 4: And this offense is dynamic, a lot of motions, a

817
00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:26,239
Speaker 4: lot of pre snap adjustments for the defense to have

818
00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:28,359
Speaker 4: to you know, deal with. So I think you'll see

819
00:38:28,360 --> 00:38:30,040
Speaker 4: a lot of guys in different places.

820
00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:31,040
Speaker 1: To be able to make place.

821
00:38:31,640 --> 00:38:34,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a consistent theme that I've noticed and I

822
00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:38,080
Speaker 2: used to get really frustrated with this last year, so

823
00:38:38,440 --> 00:38:41,279
Speaker 2: I kind of noticed it early this year. There is

824
00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:43,799
Speaker 2: a sense of urgency break in a huddle, Like dudes

825
00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:46,880
Speaker 2: are getting out of the huddle, getting to their spots

826
00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:51,280
Speaker 2: so they can go in motion, get to a shift,

827
00:38:51,680 --> 00:38:54,600
Speaker 2: whatever the trade, whatever that might be. But there is

828
00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:57,839
Speaker 2: a higher sense of urgency and a bunch more motion,

829
00:38:58,040 --> 00:39:01,560
Speaker 2: which I think ends up being good for a young offense.

830
00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:05,239
Speaker 2: You just catch a defense, just one defender with bad eyes,

831
00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:07,040
Speaker 2: and he gets caught on that motion and you're doing

832
00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:10,839
Speaker 2: something opposite where he's going. I mean, it plays well

833
00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:14,640
Speaker 2: for you, especially if you can kind of start it

834
00:39:14,719 --> 00:39:17,520
Speaker 2: early in a quarterbacks career. Like Aaron Rodgers was talked about.

835
00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:18,919
Speaker 2: He didn't like a lot of motion, Like when mattin

836
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:21,839
Speaker 2: Ford took over in Green Bay, he didn't like all

837
00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:24,680
Speaker 2: the motion because he wanted to know exactly where everybody

838
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:26,719
Speaker 2: was out on the field, So he didn't like that.

839
00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:30,960
Speaker 2: But hopefully you can get CJ working in the offense

840
00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:32,879
Speaker 2: early enough that he's used to it so he kind

841
00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:34,600
Speaker 2: of can anticipate, all right, we got motion on this,

842
00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:36,919
Speaker 2: how they gonna rotate? What is safety's gonna do one down,

843
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:39,880
Speaker 2: one up, or linebacker's gonna do. How's everybody adjusting and

844
00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:42,160
Speaker 2: adapting to this motion. I think that's going to end

845
00:39:42,239 --> 00:39:44,600
Speaker 2: up being a good thing for the Texans. Now, it's

846
00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:47,680
Speaker 2: a good thing. Christian Kirk is in Houston with the Texans.

847
00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:49,840
Speaker 2: What are his thoughts about.

848
00:39:49,600 --> 00:39:50,520
Speaker 1: Being here in Houston?

849
00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:53,800
Speaker 4: The transition has been nothing short of amazing. Everybody in

850
00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:58,000
Speaker 4: the organization has been welcoming from day one, players, coaches,

851
00:39:58,080 --> 00:40:01,440
Speaker 4: staff included, and like mentioned playing at Texas A and M.

852
00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:02,640
Speaker 1: It's it's good to be back.

853
00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:06,160
Speaker 4: It's been a long time since I've been back in

854
00:40:06,239 --> 00:40:08,320
Speaker 4: the state of Texas, and you know, even down the

855
00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:10,560
Speaker 4: street from from A and M. So definitely looking back,

856
00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:13,200
Speaker 4: looking forward to getting back over there. But it's been

857
00:40:13,280 --> 00:40:15,840
Speaker 4: great and now that we're in OTAs and getting on

858
00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:19,080
Speaker 4: the field, you know, working out the system, laying the foundation.

859
00:40:19,760 --> 00:40:21,520
Speaker 1: Just been really happy from day one.

860
00:40:21,719 --> 00:40:24,400
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say something that I don't know, you hear it,

861
00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:26,160
Speaker 2: and you know, just take it for what it is.

862
00:40:26,920 --> 00:40:28,840
Speaker 2: I've always felt like Christian Kirk should have.

863
00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:30,640
Speaker 1: Been a Texan. I don't know why. Maybe it's going

864
00:40:30,719 --> 00:40:31,080
Speaker 1: A and M.

865
00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:34,080
Speaker 2: I don't know, but I just felt like Christian Kirk

866
00:40:34,080 --> 00:40:36,560
Speaker 2: should have always been a Texan.

867
00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:39,120
Speaker 1: It just felt like a really good fit.

868
00:40:39,280 --> 00:40:41,120
Speaker 2: And for everything that he did when he was coming

869
00:40:41,160 --> 00:40:43,920
Speaker 2: out out of A and M, just being able to

870
00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:47,399
Speaker 2: play the slots, just toughness, smarts, I just always felt

871
00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:49,000
Speaker 2: like it would have been a good fit in Houston.

872
00:40:49,080 --> 00:40:50,840
Speaker 1: Didn't turn out that way. He goes Arizona and he

873
00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:51,680
Speaker 1: goes to Jacksonville.

874
00:40:51,960 --> 00:40:53,919
Speaker 2: But now he's in the right spot where it needs

875
00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:56,320
Speaker 2: to be, and he's gonna make plays for this offense

876
00:40:56,400 --> 00:40:56,799
Speaker 2: no doubt.

877
00:40:56,960 --> 00:41:00,000
Speaker 1: Yesterday at OTAs, he was all over the place.

878
00:41:00,239 --> 00:41:02,960
Speaker 2: I mean he made catches in the short, short, media, intermediate,

879
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:05,400
Speaker 2: intermediate areas. He was all over the place and did

880
00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:07,840
Speaker 2: a really nice job. I just love the fit, completely,

881
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:10,279
Speaker 2: love the fit of Christian Kirk.

882
00:41:10,560 --> 00:41:11,800
Speaker 1: Here in Houston.

883
00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:15,320
Speaker 2: Now he plays alongside or will play alongside, one of

884
00:41:15,400 --> 00:41:16,239
Speaker 2: the best in the league.

885
00:41:16,280 --> 00:41:17,200
Speaker 1: That's Nico Collins.

886
00:41:17,640 --> 00:41:21,440
Speaker 2: Here's Christian Kirk talking about his six four two d

887
00:41:21,520 --> 00:41:24,160
Speaker 2: and fifteen pounds stud teammate Nico Collins.

888
00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:27,319
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean the production makes sense just with who

889
00:41:27,400 --> 00:41:29,600
Speaker 4: he is as a person. Seeing him on the field,

890
00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:34,160
Speaker 4: somebody who's that big, that fast, that strong, has great hands,

891
00:41:34,360 --> 00:41:35,919
Speaker 4: you know. Like I said, it makes sense why he's

892
00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:37,839
Speaker 4: been a top five receiver in the past couple of years.

893
00:41:38,239 --> 00:41:40,360
Speaker 4: I was telling somebody kind of reminds me of a

894
00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:44,279
Speaker 4: former team I played with Aj Green of just how big, strong,

895
00:41:44,360 --> 00:41:46,920
Speaker 4: and explosive. They are a lot of the same, like

896
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:50,600
Speaker 4: intangibles and whatnot, but just a great person. You know

897
00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:53,600
Speaker 4: he wants to get better every single day. The fact

898
00:41:53,640 --> 00:41:55,799
Speaker 4: that he's still asking questions and learning, I think says

899
00:41:55,800 --> 00:41:57,840
Speaker 4: a lot about who he is. So just really excited

900
00:41:57,880 --> 00:41:59,360
Speaker 4: to work with him going forward.

901
00:41:59,600 --> 00:42:01,520
Speaker 1: It's on watching those two out in the field.

902
00:42:01,719 --> 00:42:03,600
Speaker 2: I'll be honest, and I think it's gonna be even

903
00:42:03,680 --> 00:42:07,120
Speaker 2: more fun once CJ gets back throwing again and getting

904
00:42:07,160 --> 00:42:08,480
Speaker 2: on the field and these guys are able to make

905
00:42:08,560 --> 00:42:09,000
Speaker 2: music together.

906
00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:11,920
Speaker 1: I think it's going to be really, really fun.

907
00:42:12,120 --> 00:42:15,040
Speaker 2: Speaking of c J Stroud, he's what Christian Kirk had

908
00:42:15,080 --> 00:42:17,440
Speaker 2: to say about his quarterback.

909
00:42:17,840 --> 00:42:20,719
Speaker 4: C stu s just has been awesome. You could just

910
00:42:20,760 --> 00:42:23,040
Speaker 4: tell by his presidence in the locker room. Uh, me

911
00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:25,880
Speaker 4: getting to know him, you know, in the facility and

912
00:42:25,960 --> 00:42:28,200
Speaker 4: outside the facility, being able to spend some time with him.

913
00:42:28,520 --> 00:42:28,640
Speaker 3: Uh.

914
00:42:28,840 --> 00:42:32,200
Speaker 4: Super humble and Uh He's had success obviously over the

915
00:42:32,239 --> 00:42:34,440
Speaker 4: past couple of years. It's been fun to watch obviously

916
00:42:34,520 --> 00:42:36,400
Speaker 4: playing against him, you know, being able to see that.

917
00:42:37,400 --> 00:42:39,319
Speaker 4: But you know, even though he's not involved, you still

918
00:42:39,400 --> 00:42:41,839
Speaker 4: see him listening to the calls, you know, going through

919
00:42:42,239 --> 00:42:45,000
Speaker 4: certain things. If he sees a guy make a mistake

920
00:42:45,080 --> 00:42:46,640
Speaker 4: or feels like they could do it better, he's going

921
00:42:46,719 --> 00:42:48,960
Speaker 4: up to him coaching. That's big for you know, quarterback

922
00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:51,200
Speaker 4: going into his third season. That's stuff that you see

923
00:42:51,239 --> 00:42:53,600
Speaker 4: from guys that have been in the league even longer.

924
00:42:53,760 --> 00:42:57,040
Speaker 4: So that's really cool to see. And I know, come

925
00:42:57,120 --> 00:42:59,040
Speaker 4: when it's time for us to start getting rolling that,

926
00:42:59,160 --> 00:43:01,200
Speaker 4: you know he's gonna up in there and you know,

927
00:43:01,320 --> 00:43:02,840
Speaker 4: just keep elevating us as an offense.

928
00:43:03,239 --> 00:43:08,880
Speaker 2: Elevate the offense, take it to a different level. CJ

929
00:43:09,200 --> 00:43:12,520
Speaker 2: and Christian are able to do that. There's no telling

930
00:43:12,600 --> 00:43:14,719
Speaker 2: where this team can be. I mean, it was ten

931
00:43:14,760 --> 00:43:18,480
Speaker 2: and seven last year with a very similar like schedule

932
00:43:18,719 --> 00:43:23,160
Speaker 2: this year, and they really struggled offensively to do the

933
00:43:23,239 --> 00:43:26,320

954
00:44:41,080 --> 00:44:46,919

956
00:44:53,960 --> 00:44:59,360

966
00:45:31,960 --> 00:45:33,800
Speaker 2: the Jags, because I think this is gonna make for

967
00:45:33,840 --> 00:45:35,880
Speaker 2: a really fun matchup with the Texas take on the Jags.

968
00:45:35,920 --> 00:45:38,440
Speaker 1: But Travis Hunter, hmmm.

969
00:45:39,440 --> 00:45:44,640
Speaker 2: Intrasting what's going on down in Jacksonville.

970
00:45:44,920 --> 00:45:45,960
Speaker 1: This for the old heads.

971
00:45:47,080 --> 00:45:51,920
Speaker 2: Jim Marshall, member of the Purple People Eaters Minnesota Vikings

972
00:45:52,160 --> 00:45:58,040
Speaker 2: vaunted nineteen seventies defense, played the most games consecutively until

973
00:45:58,040 --> 00:46:02,279
Speaker 2: Brett farre took that over passed away eighty seven. One

974
00:46:02,280 --> 00:46:05,800
Speaker 2: of the most beloved Vikings of all time. Jim Marshall

975
00:46:05,800 --> 00:46:08,479
Speaker 2: passed away at eighty seven. Speaking of Vikings, this one's

976
00:46:08,520 --> 00:46:12,520
Speaker 2: a former Viking. But Sam Donald started making the rounds

977
00:46:12,560 --> 00:46:15,359
Speaker 2: on Twitter, not his Twitter account, but just the name

978
00:46:15,440 --> 00:46:18,040
Speaker 2: Sam Donald because he had thrown a couple interceptions in

979
00:46:18,120 --> 00:46:22,720
Speaker 2: OTAs and of course, Seattle at one point in their history,

980
00:46:23,120 --> 00:46:24,879
Speaker 2: took a free agent that's sent a lot of money

981
00:46:24,880 --> 00:46:27,200
Speaker 2: at quarterback and put him on a bench so the

982
00:46:27,360 --> 00:46:30,200
Speaker 2: rookie could play. Now, I don't think this will happen

983
00:46:30,280 --> 00:46:33,640
Speaker 2: in Seattle, But Mike McDonald was asked the question.

984
00:46:33,840 --> 00:46:37,400
Speaker 1: Hey do you think Sam Donald might not be the

985
00:46:37,480 --> 00:46:38,239
Speaker 1: starter of this year?

986
00:46:38,480 --> 00:46:41,040
Speaker 2: All basically based on a couple of OTA throws, and

987
00:46:41,120 --> 00:46:46,560
Speaker 2: Mike McDonald said, and I quote, that's crazy and even

988
00:46:46,600 --> 00:46:49,719
Speaker 2: more so, No, you guys are crazy. I respect that

989
00:46:49,800 --> 00:46:51,960
Speaker 2: you've got to ask the question, but it's just a

990
00:46:52,040 --> 00:46:56,120
Speaker 2: crazy question. It's just not gonna happen. Sam's are starting quarterback.

991
00:46:56,280 --> 00:47:00,160
Speaker 2: We love him, He's doing a tremendous job. Awesome the

992
00:47:00,960 --> 00:47:03,800
Speaker 2: you have a tough Ota. You know what it means nothing,

993
00:47:05,360 --> 00:47:09,200
Speaker 2: have a great Ota? What does it mean everything? Well, okay,

994
00:47:09,280 --> 00:47:11,399
Speaker 2: the math doesn't always work, but you get the point.

995
00:47:11,719 --> 00:47:15,040
Speaker 2: Don't overreact, don't underreact, Just you know, have fun watching

996
00:47:15,239 --> 00:47:17,080
Speaker 2: and then see what happens in the fall, because that's
