1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:02,680 Speaker 1: Hello Texans, and welcome to the show that gets you 2 00:00:02,720 --> 00:00:04,880 Speaker 1: in touch with your Houston Texans, in this case on 3 00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:07,280 Speaker 1: the road, as you know, at the Greenbrier in West 4 00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:12,039 Speaker 1: Virginia for training camp twenty eighteen, seventeenth season of Texans Football. 5 00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:15,400 Speaker 1: I'm Mark Vandermire with John Harris and Johnny Here we 6 00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:17,599 Speaker 1: go from Butler Cabin, our own version of that above 7 00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:20,000 Speaker 1: the eighteenth Green and you could see that the rain's 8 00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:23,000 Speaker 1: been falling today, but it's over now for the time being, 9 00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:24,560 Speaker 1: and the team should be dry for the rest of 10 00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:26,599 Speaker 1: the way. You think, Yeah, it should be at least 11 00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:29,240 Speaker 1: at least Saturday and Sunday it should be dry. It 12 00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:32,120 Speaker 1: looks nice. The weather says it's supposed to be nice. Yeah, 13 00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:35,280 Speaker 1: it's I don't want to say inconsistent. But my little 14 00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:37,400 Speaker 1: weather apple tell me it's gonna rain all day, and 15 00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:40,160 Speaker 1: then it won't, and then it'll tell me thirty percent chance, 16 00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:42,800 Speaker 1: and then it rained all day. And you can see it. 17 00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:45,279 Speaker 1: And obviously you just said we're running above the eighteenth hole. 18 00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:50,280 Speaker 1: The little creek or river or whatever this little body 19 00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:53,000 Speaker 1: of water is. We've looked at that for how many 20 00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:55,600 Speaker 1: days that we've been in here. Yeah, that has not 21 00:00:55,760 --> 00:01:00,080 Speaker 1: been that high at all. It's right at the rim. 22 00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:02,120 Speaker 1: I mean, any more rain, you get the feeling it 23 00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:04,080 Speaker 1: would have spilled over, which it did a couple of 24 00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:06,160 Speaker 1: years ago, and they had their massive flood here. And 25 00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:08,800 Speaker 1: you know that nowhere in the United States of America 26 00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:11,479 Speaker 1: is totally safe from flooding. If you get enough rain 27 00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:15,040 Speaker 1: clouds or rain systems or whatever sitting over a certain areas, 28 00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:17,040 Speaker 1: it's going to suffer. And they suffered big time here. 29 00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:19,520 Speaker 1: So I'm glad for their sake and for everybody who's 30 00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:22,520 Speaker 1: staying here for our sake, that it cleared out of 31 00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:24,840 Speaker 1: here for now. Yeah, And that was exactly what it was. 32 00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:28,400 Speaker 1: It was a system that was moving through the northeast, 33 00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:30,240 Speaker 1: but it was moving so slowly and we were kind 34 00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:33,000 Speaker 1: of the tail end of it. So we were getting it. 35 00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:35,000 Speaker 1: And hopefully my wife who was driving back to North 36 00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:37,680 Speaker 1: Carolina today isn't getting it too badly. They were kind 37 00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:39,440 Speaker 1: of timing wise. They might have been okay, they might 38 00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:40,800 Speaker 1: have hit it a little bit before they left here, 39 00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:43,640 Speaker 1: but hopefully I think they're fine. I looked at them. Yeah, 40 00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:45,480 Speaker 1: it was cleared out of here to the east, and 41 00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:48,000 Speaker 1: I think everything's good. But there's been so much water. 42 00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:50,560 Speaker 1: As I was driving over here to the Green Prior, 43 00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:52,600 Speaker 1: I saw a beaver on the side of the road. 44 00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:56,360 Speaker 1: It's the one animal. There's been so many different animals 45 00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:58,040 Speaker 1: we've seen I've not seen. I saw a beaver and 46 00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 1: I went, well, I guess he doesn't really know where 47 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,240 Speaker 1: ago at this point, I don't know his home has 48 00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:03,640 Speaker 1: been watched. I didn't know what to think, but I 49 00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:05,960 Speaker 1: saw biver inside of the road. He just look confused, 50 00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:08,359 Speaker 1: and I felt really bad for he's contacting FEMA at 51 00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:11,800 Speaker 1: the moment. Perhaps. So here we are doing another program. 52 00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:13,480 Speaker 1: This is the last one of the week, and we'll 53 00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:15,760 Speaker 1: be back on Monday morning eight to ten am. Three 54 00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:18,680 Speaker 1: more shows in the morning from the Greenbrier. Than the 55 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:21,560 Speaker 1: team flies Wednesday to Kansas City for the opener in 56 00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:26,240 Speaker 1: the preseason opener to Arrowhead Stadium, Kansas City Chiefs Thursday night, 57 00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:29,480 Speaker 1: seven o'clock kick. We will be live with that broadcast. 58 00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:32,800 Speaker 1: So let's get into some stuff here, John As the 59 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:35,080 Speaker 1: team had a pretty spirited practice today. I thought the 60 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:37,960 Speaker 1: guys it looked like they really enjoyed themselves. Never mind 61 00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:41,679 Speaker 1: the splashing afterwards, but even during practice it looked very 62 00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,880 Speaker 1: upbeat and it was in a driving rain. Well, you 63 00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:50,000 Speaker 1: get into a rhythm during practice and it's stretch, individual, 64 00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:55,399 Speaker 1: special teams, seven on seven team and then some sorts 65 00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:57,120 Speaker 1: commage at the end. I mean, you get in that rhythm. 66 00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:02,000 Speaker 1: It's like you get a day like today and it's like, what, 67 00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:04,400 Speaker 1: wait a second, what are we doing? They were doing 68 00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:07,799 Speaker 1: every situation known to mankind. They were doing on site 69 00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:12,000 Speaker 1: kick situations. They were doing fourth down in the red zone, 70 00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:16,240 Speaker 1: you're down by four, last play of the game situations, 71 00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,600 Speaker 1: they were doing hail Mary situations. They I saw them 72 00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:21,720 Speaker 1: at some point through the Cal Stanford band play or 73 00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:24,839 Speaker 1: they were working on that. They worked on everything today 74 00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:26,200 Speaker 1: and I thought it was a really good opportunity to 75 00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:28,560 Speaker 1: do it. And a day where it's raining, you're gonna 76 00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:31,360 Speaker 1: have to at some point you're gonna face weather. You 77 00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:34,000 Speaker 1: hope you don't, but you're gonna face weather. I certainly 78 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:37,240 Speaker 1: hope we don't because then it's miserable for me. But 79 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:39,240 Speaker 1: you gotta. You're gonna have to do it at some point. Yeah, 80 00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:41,320 Speaker 1: nine of the games are inside, but seven there's a 81 00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:44,960 Speaker 1: possibility of rain snow, especially games late in December in 82 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:47,440 Speaker 1: New York and Philadelphia, So you're gonna have to deal 83 00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:49,640 Speaker 1: with it. And I thought the guys because they were 84 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,280 Speaker 1: thrown a little bit different bone, if you will, they 85 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,360 Speaker 1: were throwing something a little bit different, and whenever that 86 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:57,880 Speaker 1: happens as a player, you go, oh, okay, all right, 87 00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:00,440 Speaker 1: so what is it going? All right? Yeah, okay, so 88 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:03,160 Speaker 1: you you're you're more in tune to it because now 89 00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:04,520 Speaker 1: it's a little bit it's a little bit new and 90 00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:06,200 Speaker 1: he's done that every single year and I love it. 91 00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:10,440 Speaker 1: I think working on situations, handling those situations, knowing how 92 00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:12,920 Speaker 1: to handle them when you see them, knowing what you 93 00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:15,400 Speaker 1: want to do. I think it's hugely important. Yeah, not 94 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:18,279 Speaker 1: your normal day. So that does kind of get to 95 00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:21,120 Speaker 1: your ears perked up, gets the antenna up, and they 96 00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:24,880 Speaker 1: were ready to go. Now Whitney, Merciless and Deep City 97 00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:27,119 Speaker 1: who had a conversation after practice. It was pretty funny 98 00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:28,760 Speaker 1: as Whitney was one of the guys that I caught 99 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:32,560 Speaker 1: on my Twitter feed doing a little post practice splashing. 100 00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:36,120 Speaker 1: They were doing the belly slides and man, we have 101 00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:37,919 Speaker 1: a lot of good stuff. Houston Texans dot com or 102 00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,960 Speaker 1: any social media platform, uh, you follow the Texans and 103 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,080 Speaker 1: see some of the splashing we put together a video 104 00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:46,279 Speaker 1: with ballet music. It's fun to watch it. You know, 105 00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:49,880 Speaker 1: the guys were you realize that they're just boys having fun. 106 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:53,799 Speaker 1: We really are. Have you have your boys ever gone 107 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,599 Speaker 1: on a slipping slide? Yeah, they've done a slipping okay, 108 00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:59,440 Speaker 1: just making sure because I mentioned that in the hair's 109 00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:01,520 Speaker 1: Hurry Up Today, the slipping slide? And what wait a second, 110 00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:04,360 Speaker 1: is that a dated reference? No, that's a thing. That's okay, 111 00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:07,280 Speaker 1: It's just everybody's done that, so I think you're good there. Okay, 112 00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:09,680 Speaker 1: the slipping slide is the is the best thing ever ever. 113 00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:11,440 Speaker 1: We used to play I don't know if you played 114 00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:12,839 Speaker 1: this game grown up, Mark. We used to play a 115 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:15,120 Speaker 1: game called pickle, where you'd have you had It was 116 00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:17,080 Speaker 1: essentially a baseball game, but you'd have one guy on 117 00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:19,640 Speaker 1: one side, one guy in the other, and then you'd 118 00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:21,359 Speaker 1: have a runner who would get in the pickle and 119 00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:23,440 Speaker 1: you would try and get the guy out. We used 120 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:27,080 Speaker 1: to play ours with a slipping slide, so of course 121 00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:29,039 Speaker 1: we didn't have anything to hold slipping slide down, so 122 00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:32,039 Speaker 1: we used bricks. Of course, we slid into the bricks 123 00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:35,400 Speaker 1: and got a hurt, offs and all sorts of what 124 00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:38,640 Speaker 1: I wondered about using that like our kids. The kids 125 00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:41,360 Speaker 1: do still do slipping slides because if they don't, that's 126 00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:43,920 Speaker 1: and But I'll tell you what a lot of kids 127 00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:46,359 Speaker 1: don't do. They've never played in the mud before because 128 00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:48,440 Speaker 1: the parents won't let them, or it just doesn't happen. 129 00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:50,800 Speaker 1: I remember coaching a flag football game where it got 130 00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,720 Speaker 1: really muddy, and my guys were like, they were looking like, 131 00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:58,160 Speaker 1: what is this substance? This substance on my skin? They 132 00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:00,760 Speaker 1: were trying to stay clean. I said, listen, guys, this 133 00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:03,640 Speaker 1: is called mud and we're playing in the rain today. 134 00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:06,440 Speaker 1: And guess what. Just embrace it, give into it, and 135 00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,119 Speaker 1: have fun with it, and believe me, you will play great. 136 00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:12,440 Speaker 1: Just pretend that you are really enjoying it. It's not 137 00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:14,520 Speaker 1: there and they had the time of their lives. I 138 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:16,839 Speaker 1: gave them permission to enjoy the mud. Yeah, you know, 139 00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:18,440 Speaker 1: but I got a little I got a five year 140 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:20,480 Speaker 1: old over here, and he's sitting a couple of tables away. 141 00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:22,640 Speaker 1: I don't want to talk to loudly about this because 142 00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:25,039 Speaker 1: otherwise we'll come right over and participate in the program. 143 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:28,120 Speaker 1: But he was in the rocks and the dirt and 144 00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:31,320 Speaker 1: the mud today. I mean, everybody else's huddle under the tent. Yeah, 145 00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:35,160 Speaker 1: he's over there outside just enjoying it. He was soaked. 146 00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:37,760 Speaker 1: It was great to see that. I looked up at 147 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:41,680 Speaker 1: some point and I was like, where's Liam, Like where 148 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:44,680 Speaker 1: is it? He's just out just playing the grass and 149 00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:47,040 Speaker 1: the mud the dirt. The best time I ever had 150 00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:52,400 Speaker 1: playing football was anytime that you played in mud. And 151 00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:54,240 Speaker 1: I remember one time in high school, I think we 152 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:56,839 Speaker 1: were playing at Wharton and it rain did stopped, so 153 00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:00,520 Speaker 1: the field was not completely soaked, but in certain spots 154 00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:02,680 Speaker 1: it was. And I remember one time I went to 155 00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:05,719 Speaker 1: go make a crackback block on a run. I kind 156 00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:07,840 Speaker 1: of got through. I was a receiver and everybody had 157 00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:09,840 Speaker 1: taken off, and also the run kind of comes to 158 00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:12,640 Speaker 1: me and I look and this little linebackers like trying 159 00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:14,360 Speaker 1: to catch our running back, and I popped him, and 160 00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:17,360 Speaker 1: so as I did, I went sliding on the sideline 161 00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:20,760 Speaker 1: like through mud. Like my whole jersey just had mud 162 00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:23,760 Speaker 1: on it. It It was like, that's the best feeling. It 163 00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:26,960 Speaker 1: was the best feeling to just be covered in mud 164 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,480 Speaker 1: and dirt. I loved it. Yeah, I loved it. I 165 00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:31,280 Speaker 1: can totally see why these guys did today. Now they 166 00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:36,320 Speaker 1: weren't in pads there. The plan yesterday was to be 167 00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:39,320 Speaker 1: in pads, and then of course the threat of rain 168 00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:42,480 Speaker 1: they shorten the practice. Today was actually a long practice. 169 00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:45,840 Speaker 1: It was was longer practice than I anticipate, especially with 170 00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:47,360 Speaker 1: all the rain. They went for a good Once it 171 00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:49,800 Speaker 1: really started coming down, I thought, okay, that'll probably end 172 00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:53,480 Speaker 1: it soon. And O'Brien always does that when you think 173 00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:55,120 Speaker 1: he's gonna do a short one, like we talked about 174 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:57,800 Speaker 1: it this morning. The first one back in Houston last year. 175 00:07:58,000 --> 00:07:59,600 Speaker 1: I thought it was gonna be a shorty. No, he 176 00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:01,520 Speaker 1: went about two two and a half, So you just 177 00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:03,600 Speaker 1: never know. All Right, we're gonna do the fifty three 178 00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:06,080 Speaker 1: man roster as promised, Yes, and we're going to do 179 00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:09,840 Speaker 1: it in the most radio friendly way because this is 180 00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:14,120 Speaker 1: obviously not the most not the most radio friendly kind 181 00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:16,200 Speaker 1: of talk, you know, when you're talking numbers and players, 182 00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:19,200 Speaker 1: but we will mention names, positions and try to keep 183 00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:23,440 Speaker 1: it as understandable as possible as you are driving wherever 184 00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:26,240 Speaker 1: you are going. Right now. Okay, so you have a 185 00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:28,800 Speaker 1: fifty three man roster, and let's just take the three 186 00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:31,720 Speaker 1: specialists off the board right now, go down to fifty 187 00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:34,319 Speaker 1: because you have John Weeks as long snapper, Shane Lechler 188 00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:37,280 Speaker 1: as the putter, and Canty me Fair Baron as your 189 00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:39,160 Speaker 1: How about that I screwed up the last name. I 190 00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:42,839 Speaker 1: was like Fair. Meanwhile, I could say his thirty six 191 00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:45,360 Speaker 1: letter first name, no problem, but I won't do it 192 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:47,320 Speaker 1: right now. So you have three specialists and now you 193 00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:49,920 Speaker 1: have fifty. So it's not really twenty five off on 194 00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:53,000 Speaker 1: twenty five defense. Sometimes it's twenty four to twenty six whatever. 195 00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:57,760 Speaker 1: But see where you disagree with me. Okay, we're gonna 196 00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:00,280 Speaker 1: go with the three quarterbacks, and I'm gonna say I 197 00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:02,880 Speaker 1: have a hunch to Shaun Watson's making the team, followed 198 00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:04,880 Speaker 1: by Brandon Wheedon, and I'm gonna go Joe Webb as 199 00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:06,559 Speaker 1: my third quarterback. I think so, And I think those 200 00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:09,160 Speaker 1: three do make the team. Okay, here are my wide 201 00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:13,479 Speaker 1: receivers and I have six, count them six wide receivers 202 00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:16,679 Speaker 1: of course, DeAndre Hopkins and Will Fuller, yes, and Kiki 203 00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:20,160 Speaker 1: Qt who they drafted in the fourth round. And Bruce Ellington. 204 00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:23,680 Speaker 1: I think that Ellington because you could say that Ellington 205 00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:27,400 Speaker 1: and QT play a similar style position whatever. But to me, 206 00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:31,760 Speaker 1: when I ask myself, who are my top four receivers. 207 00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:34,679 Speaker 1: Ellington is in there. Yes, he's one of my top 208 00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:36,800 Speaker 1: four receivers. So I'm gonna have him on the football team. 209 00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:38,920 Speaker 1: So he makes it, okay, And then I got two 210 00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:41,320 Speaker 1: more spots, and I'm gonna give one to Sammy Coates 211 00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:44,480 Speaker 1: because he's looked good and he can play special teams, 212 00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:46,840 Speaker 1: a variety of ways he can return, he can run 213 00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:49,200 Speaker 1: as a gunner or whatever. And then I'm gonna have 214 00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:51,160 Speaker 1: Braxton Miller in a bit of an upset. He's a 215 00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:53,319 Speaker 1: bubble player here, Johnny, but I'm going to have him 216 00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:55,400 Speaker 1: make it as the sixth receiver. And I know there's 217 00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:57,840 Speaker 1: some other talented players like Deandrew White and Vincent Smith, 218 00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:00,280 Speaker 1: but I'm gonna go with Braxton Miller as my six. Well, 219 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:02,600 Speaker 1: I don't want to be a buzz kill, and I 220 00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:04,400 Speaker 1: would love to be able to argue with you five 221 00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:06,800 Speaker 1: verses six, but I have the same six. Okay, I 222 00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:09,840 Speaker 1: have the exact same six. And to your point about Braxon, 223 00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:14,880 Speaker 1: you get in trouble doing this sometimes, but then there 224 00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:17,840 Speaker 1: are sometimes where you just don't want to give up 225 00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:20,360 Speaker 1: on a guy. You know he can play. You know, 226 00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:23,679 Speaker 1: you know it's there, you saw it you've seen it. 227 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,240 Speaker 1: You know he can do it. It's just a matter 228 00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:29,960 Speaker 1: of will the light come on in time and will 229 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:33,000 Speaker 1: his body. I mean last year there were times, or 230 00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:35,280 Speaker 1: in twenty as a rookie, his body got banged up 231 00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:36,640 Speaker 1: at the end of the year, just when it looked 232 00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:39,640 Speaker 1: like he might be making a push to get more 233 00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:42,000 Speaker 1: playing time, to get more targets, right after the Mexico 234 00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:44,520 Speaker 1: City game, go to Green Bay at some point, and 235 00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:46,600 Speaker 1: then he gets hurt and then doesn't play it. Then 236 00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:49,160 Speaker 1: last year he sort of got stuck behind some guys, 237 00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:52,360 Speaker 1: especially when Bruce was kind of making his way from 238 00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:55,640 Speaker 1: the Greenbriar all Bruce Elling just making some plays. Braxon 239 00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:58,400 Speaker 1: was sort of odd man out. He just wasn't getting targets, 240 00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:01,240 Speaker 1: he wasn't getting the football. And then at the end 241 00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:02,559 Speaker 1: of the year at the Wall, maybe he's gonna and 242 00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:04,120 Speaker 1: then he got hurt in that Tennessee game and then 243 00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:06,600 Speaker 1: he'd come back. So there's a part of me with 244 00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:08,559 Speaker 1: Brax and it just feels like he's too good a 245 00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:10,880 Speaker 1: football player. I've seen it. I know he can do this. 246 00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:14,120 Speaker 1: Now he's got to become a really good wide receiver. Yep, 247 00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:16,160 Speaker 1: we know he's football player. Now, he's gotta be wide receiver, 248 00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:18,480 Speaker 1: and I just think I think it's there, So I'm 249 00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:20,160 Speaker 1: going with six. So I'm right there with you. Okay, 250 00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:23,600 Speaker 1: tight ends now, oh boy, Yeah, this is where it 251 00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:27,640 Speaker 1: gets tough immediately because we talked about the wild card 252 00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:29,560 Speaker 1: on the offense, and it's not really a wild card, 253 00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:31,720 Speaker 1: but it's almost like a death and taxes thing. With 254 00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:34,480 Speaker 1: Jay Prosh making this roster, there's no other fullback here. 255 00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:36,480 Speaker 1: If they want to run a fullback, there's no tight 256 00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:39,760 Speaker 1: end who's really gonna do what Prosh does as a fullback. 257 00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:43,840 Speaker 1: So somebody to assume that h back tight end type role. 258 00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:46,640 Speaker 1: So I'm gonna have Prosh make the football team. That 259 00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:50,439 Speaker 1: means I have twenty five offensive players now, and twenty 260 00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:53,360 Speaker 1: five means either I gotta drop a wide receiver or 261 00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:55,560 Speaker 1: a tight end. And that's what I have done, Johnny, 262 00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:57,360 Speaker 1: I've dropped a tight end. So I'm gonna go with 263 00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:00,439 Speaker 1: Ryan Griffin and the two draft picks. I'm gonna go 264 00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:02,559 Speaker 1: with Jordan Nakens and Jordan Thomas, and there's some other 265 00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:06,520 Speaker 1: intriguing prospects there. You know, we leave Steven Anderson out 266 00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:08,319 Speaker 1: of this mix right now. Four now, and I like 267 00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:11,600 Speaker 1: Steven a lot as a receiver. Also Matt Lengel, who's 268 00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:14,400 Speaker 1: done some things in this camp and they've had no 269 00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:17,560 Speaker 1: look at Javanni Robinson a training camp because he's on POP. Yeah, 270 00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:20,679 Speaker 1: I do have four tight ends. Now when I originally 271 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:24,400 Speaker 1: did this, I forgot to account for Jay Prosh, So 272 00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:28,000 Speaker 1: there's it's interesting as I look at this, if I'm 273 00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:31,680 Speaker 1: thinking about just he called skill players, but you guys 274 00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:34,720 Speaker 1: who catch the ball, running backs, tight ends, wide receivers. 275 00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:38,959 Speaker 1: I feel like the final spots on that side may 276 00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:42,280 Speaker 1: come down to number one, Deonta Foreman and when can 277 00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:45,720 Speaker 1: he come back? Because what that does is it if 278 00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:48,480 Speaker 1: you have Foreman coming back, then you've got Miller, Foreman, 279 00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:51,120 Speaker 1: Blue and Prosh, and I think you probably feel good 280 00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:54,160 Speaker 1: about that. But Tremy and Pope has done a lot 281 00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:58,320 Speaker 1: of really good things. So I think Pope, Braxton and 282 00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:02,360 Speaker 1: Steven Anderson in preseason games, those guys should get plenty 283 00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:06,079 Speaker 1: of targets and plenty of opportunities. Of those, you're probably 284 00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:09,640 Speaker 1: keeping two, maybe not three. I think you're probably gonna 285 00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:12,160 Speaker 1: keep two, So I would love to keep all three. 286 00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:14,520 Speaker 1: Now my scenario, I kept all three, but that was 287 00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:18,000 Speaker 1: because I didn't I didn't account for prosh and so 288 00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:19,720 Speaker 1: now I've got to have one go and it probably 289 00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:23,040 Speaker 1: would be one of those two, Anderson or Braxton. And 290 00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:25,560 Speaker 1: I hate that because Steven's been very productive. But man, 291 00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:27,679 Speaker 1: it's hard to deny those two tight ends, the two 292 00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:30,960 Speaker 1: rookie tight ends, they've been so very good. How many 293 00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:33,360 Speaker 1: offensive lineman did you keep? Now? I kept nine. My 294 00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:38,120 Speaker 1: starting five is written in with pretty solid ink here 295 00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:42,400 Speaker 1: with Julian Davenport left tackle, Sean Trell Henderson at right tackle. 296 00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:44,960 Speaker 1: I've got Nick Martin at the center, of course, Zack 297 00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:49,679 Speaker 1: Fulton and Sendyo kailimte o the guards. Yes, now it 298 00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:53,439 Speaker 1: gets very interesting after this because Greg Mans is a 299 00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:56,560 Speaker 1: lock to make the team. You're saying, man's lock. He's 300 00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:59,640 Speaker 1: a lock make the team. All after I go six 301 00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:02,840 Speaker 1: D there's nobody else who I consider a luck. I 302 00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:06,480 Speaker 1: think Quessenberry is a really good shot to make this team. Right, 303 00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:08,960 Speaker 1: I don't disagree with you. I don't disagree with you 304 00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:12,480 Speaker 1: on that. Here you do have to have a third tackle, 305 00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:15,600 Speaker 1: So yeah, who is my third tackle at this right? 306 00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:19,600 Speaker 1: Because I have Martin's ranking making the roster because he's 307 00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:21,640 Speaker 1: gonna make the ross. Is he gonna get healthy, though, 308 00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:25,120 Speaker 1: But you're right, is gonna be something like that, right exactly. 309 00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:28,360 Speaker 1: He hasn't done anything, so they're they're in lies. There 310 00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:31,280 Speaker 1: in lies the rub you keep three tackles. So I 311 00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:33,160 Speaker 1: have four tackles right now, and rankings one of them. 312 00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:35,320 Speaker 1: So let's take ranking out of this mix. Yeah, so 313 00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:38,080 Speaker 1: let's say that I keep Sean Treille and keep Julian 314 00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:40,880 Speaker 1: and I've got Lamb as the other tackle. I think 315 00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:43,000 Speaker 1: Kyle Fuller has come along with this training camp. I 316 00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:44,600 Speaker 1: think it's gonna be very hard to deny him. He 317 00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:46,160 Speaker 1: could play center, he could play guard, he could play 318 00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:48,880 Speaker 1: that sixth offensive line position. And at that point, I 319 00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:52,360 Speaker 1: probably would have Quessenberry because I know that that gives 320 00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:54,920 Speaker 1: me a lot more interior offensive alignment. But I know 321 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:56,960 Speaker 1: Fuller can play a number of spots. No man's could 322 00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,680 Speaker 1: play both guards, center. I know Quisenberry can play center 323 00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:01,960 Speaker 1: and he's or I'm sorry, guard and he's tried center, 324 00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:04,600 Speaker 1: but he's also played tackle. People asked, and you think 325 00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:06,200 Speaker 1: you've asked me, could you go out and play tackle? 326 00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:09,280 Speaker 1: He could? He could in a pinch, I think he could. 327 00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:11,520 Speaker 1: That would be the guy I would keep if I'm 328 00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:14,880 Speaker 1: sticking with nine offensive linement, and I'm not counting ranking. 329 00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:17,520 Speaker 1: I think Quisenberry the next one I would keep. All right, 330 00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:20,160 Speaker 1: we're gonna continue with this running backs. We'll get to 331 00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:21,520 Speaker 1: the defense. Oh my gosh, we have a lot of 332 00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:23,400 Speaker 1: work to do on this fifty three man roster. Plus 333 00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:39,880 Speaker 1: Brian Gaine reloaded here on Texans All Access, Mark Vandermer, 334 00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:43,840 Speaker 1: John Harris with you in West Virginia, the Greenbrier where 335 00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:46,120 Speaker 1: the Texans are doing training camp. But they'll leave here 336 00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:48,920 Speaker 1: on Wednesday for Kansas City for their preseason opener. And 337 00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:51,560 Speaker 1: we were doing the fifty three man rosters stuff, and 338 00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:53,520 Speaker 1: I know it kind of gets hard to follow. We 339 00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:56,800 Speaker 1: went long on that last segment talking about offensive line, 340 00:15:57,120 --> 00:16:01,360 Speaker 1: and let's just stick with nine. Okay, let's just with nine, Johnny, 341 00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:03,160 Speaker 1: and we'll move on to running backs. You had three, 342 00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:09,920 Speaker 1: I had four. I well, well, opening on Pup if 343 00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:14,560 Speaker 1: he's opening on Pup that I have four. I have Miller, Blue, Pope, Prash. 344 00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:18,120 Speaker 1: Now the Prasha has counted in that group. See I 345 00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:20,960 Speaker 1: had four straight running backs and then Prasha as the 346 00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:24,240 Speaker 1: full back. And then that was it. That was all 347 00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:27,400 Speaker 1: she wrote. I kept ten offensive linemen for some reason, 348 00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:30,080 Speaker 1: but I don't see, that's the thing with offensive linement. 349 00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:32,440 Speaker 1: I don't mind keeping just me. I don't I don't 350 00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:35,320 Speaker 1: mind keeping an extra offensive lineman. But the thing is, 351 00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:38,720 Speaker 1: I'm probably if you're if you're gonna take a well 352 00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:41,480 Speaker 1: performing alignment or a guy you probably can trust, you're 353 00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:44,920 Speaker 1: probably gonna take a guy, You're probably gonna take a 354 00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:48,200 Speaker 1: guy on the inside, because that's really where you have 355 00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:50,600 Speaker 1: a lot more depth that tackled. Now here's a guy 356 00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:52,720 Speaker 1: that throws kind of ant saying Monkey mentioned of things 357 00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:56,000 Speaker 1: because I during a break, I thought about this. Chad 358 00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:58,440 Speaker 1: Slade has been lined up at tackle this entire That's 359 00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:01,160 Speaker 1: what I was thinking about, and he had him making 360 00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:04,000 Speaker 1: it as my tenth guy. And he's played guard. He 361 00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:06,240 Speaker 1: started the last I want to say, the last two games. 362 00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:08,639 Speaker 1: He started at guard against the Steelers and the Colts 363 00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:12,239 Speaker 1: next to Julian Davenport. So he's played guard. He's been 364 00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:16,879 Speaker 1: out there working at tackle. I feel like Kendall Lamb 365 00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:20,000 Speaker 1: may have a little bit more natural ability, but Chad 366 00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:24,160 Speaker 1: Slade has probably outperformed him up until training camp. I've 367 00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:26,480 Speaker 1: seen a lot of improvement with Kendall Lamb. I will 368 00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:28,560 Speaker 1: say that, but the proofs didn't put in You're not 369 00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:31,040 Speaker 1: gonna know that until you see him in action up 370 00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:33,480 Speaker 1: against the Chiefs in preseason, seem against the Rams and 371 00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:37,440 Speaker 1: against the forty nine ers, etc. So I think that 372 00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:41,199 Speaker 1: battle of Lamb Quisenberry Slade to end up getting the 373 00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:44,640 Speaker 1: ninth and or ted spot, that's that's gonna be. Maybe 374 00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:49,879 Speaker 1: we're over complicating it. Your your reserves are Lamb, Slade, 375 00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:54,040 Speaker 1: fuller Man's Quisenberry. If you went with ten, that's five 376 00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:56,640 Speaker 1: behind the starting five, that you know what that's probably 377 00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:59,359 Speaker 1: and then when you get ranking back, then you make 378 00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:02,879 Speaker 1: a decision Slade, Lamb Queenberry. You could also say, well 379 00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:05,200 Speaker 1: I'll go nine and just take a chance that somebody 380 00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:07,200 Speaker 1: signs one of these guys because I want the extra 381 00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:08,960 Speaker 1: spot for a tight end. Who I think we'll get 382 00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:11,919 Speaker 1: signed by somebody else. I'm not so sure about that, 383 00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:14,080 Speaker 1: but we'll find out. All right, let's go defense here, 384 00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:17,560 Speaker 1: d Line. I think it is pretty darned straightforward. Maybe 385 00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:19,920 Speaker 1: it's not. Maybe I'm missing something here, but your front 386 00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:23,800 Speaker 1: three or obviously what reader and either Covington or Dunny. 387 00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:27,280 Speaker 1: But let's just go what reader Covington okay, Reader Covington okay. 388 00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:29,400 Speaker 1: And then I got DJ Dunny making the team for sure. 389 00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:32,120 Speaker 1: I still have Carlos Watkins on the team for sure, 390 00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:36,199 Speaker 1: and then I have Joel Heath and who am I 391 00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:40,000 Speaker 1: missing here? So where did you see I put Clowning 392 00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:42,360 Speaker 1: with the d line. Oh you did? So, I put 393 00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:45,119 Speaker 1: Clowney with the linebackers when I went with nine, okay, 394 00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:48,480 Speaker 1: I went with I want sixty lineman. And this is 395 00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:51,920 Speaker 1: where it got. It got tough because you got what 396 00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:57,520 Speaker 1: Clowney reader Covington Heath done. And I was like, wait, 397 00:18:57,560 --> 00:18:59,560 Speaker 1: I don't have a spot for Carlos Watkins, And I'm like, 398 00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:02,000 Speaker 1: he's got to have a spot, right, He's gotta have 399 00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:04,440 Speaker 1: a I think he's gotta have a spot. Okay, well, 400 00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:06,960 Speaker 1: let's go to the next line, outside linebackers, because I 401 00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:09,840 Speaker 1: would imagine how many outside linebackers did you have. I 402 00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:13,320 Speaker 1: have five because these guys can play special teams. I've 403 00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:16,160 Speaker 1: got Whitney and Clowney and Scarlett obviously. Then I got 404 00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:18,400 Speaker 1: the two draft choices Duke Edge of four and Peter 405 00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:20,919 Speaker 1: kellumbai That's exactly what I have. I have those. I 406 00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:25,000 Speaker 1: have those same guys. So so you had yeah, so 407 00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:28,160 Speaker 1: you had two four sixty linemen and you had five. 408 00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:31,480 Speaker 1: So eleven, basically eleven between the two yeah, and those 409 00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:33,919 Speaker 1: front seven positions. I got eleven guys to play the 410 00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:36,760 Speaker 1: front seven. Okay, all right, all right, well not the 411 00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:39,080 Speaker 1: front seven. I'm sorry, the front five, if you will. 412 00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:40,880 Speaker 1: I got eleven guys to play the front five. Now 413 00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:43,719 Speaker 1: I have the inside backers. And we talked about this 414 00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:46,680 Speaker 1: during a show this week, where it's not voluminous what 415 00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:49,159 Speaker 1: you've got an inside linebacker depth wise, this is not 416 00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:51,320 Speaker 1: one of those years where it's like, oh, Max Bulla 417 00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:53,600 Speaker 1: is gonna rise up from nowhere and make the team. 418 00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:56,200 Speaker 1: It's not gonna happen this year, because you know, Dylan 419 00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:59,040 Speaker 1: Cole and Brian Peters are your reserves, and in front, 420 00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:01,639 Speaker 1: there's no question about out. You have but Ardric McKinney 421 00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:03,800 Speaker 1: and Zach Cunningham to hold it down. So those are 422 00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:05,639 Speaker 1: my ford. I don't think there's any doubt about that 423 00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:10,560 Speaker 1: at this point unless they're thinking of something that we're not. Yeah, Cunningham, McKinney, Cole, Peters, 424 00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:15,080 Speaker 1: I think that's that's straightforward. The only the only other 425 00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:18,639 Speaker 1: thing I could see, and talking with Brian Gaine about 426 00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:23,920 Speaker 1: the outside linebackers, mentioning Peter Callambai because and I've said 427 00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:26,080 Speaker 1: this numerous times. Calambayi was used to do a lot 428 00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:28,480 Speaker 1: of different things for Stanford. Now, he never played inside. 429 00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:31,760 Speaker 1: He always played outside right. But because he could drop, 430 00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:35,680 Speaker 1: could you teach Peter Callambai to cover running backside the back? 431 00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:39,199 Speaker 1: You could you teach Peter Collumbai to play inside, just 432 00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:42,720 Speaker 1: so he had that as part of his repertoire. How 433 00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:45,160 Speaker 1: they done it here? Because if it's not happening here, 434 00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:47,199 Speaker 1: I don't have a great feeling about it. You know, 435 00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:49,399 Speaker 1: a veteran or a guy with a little bit more experience, 436 00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:51,520 Speaker 1: I could see it. Although he's super sharp too. Yeah. 437 00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:53,360 Speaker 1: You know. One of the first things when they've paraded 438 00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:56,159 Speaker 1: all the rookies out for interviews after they got picked, 439 00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:58,919 Speaker 1: talking with him, he's like, yeah, I've worked a system 440 00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:00,600 Speaker 1: that's similar to this. I feel like I'm gonna pick 441 00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:02,720 Speaker 1: it up. Well, he's such a real down to earth 442 00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:05,159 Speaker 1: smart guy. You feel like he's gonna pick it up 443 00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:07,280 Speaker 1: fast whatever they throw at him. Yeah, no doubt. So 444 00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:10,439 Speaker 1: we're we're pretty set. The only thing that we're different 445 00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:14,639 Speaker 1: on defensively is you have Watkins and at this point 446 00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:18,520 Speaker 1: I don't wow. But let's continue to the defense. Let's 447 00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:19,959 Speaker 1: go to the second day. Let's go to the secondary 448 00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:22,240 Speaker 1: where it gets a little interesting, and it gets very 449 00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:25,639 Speaker 1: interesting corners. I have five, all right, I've got Johnathan Joseph, 450 00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:30,720 Speaker 1: Kevin Johnson, Aaron Colvin of course, then of course Johnson Betemosi, 451 00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:34,320 Speaker 1: our unsung hero of training camp, and d Virgin makes 452 00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:37,520 Speaker 1: the team. In my world at cornerback. D Virgin's gonna 453 00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:39,520 Speaker 1: make it. He'll get signed off the practice squad, or 454 00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:41,520 Speaker 1: if you go ahead and cut him, risking that you 455 00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:43,560 Speaker 1: can sneak him out of the practice squad. I don't 456 00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:47,600 Speaker 1: think it's happening this year. I think he gets snabbed, nabbed. 457 00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:51,520 Speaker 1: I've got I got Jamin Kelly draft pick, and I 458 00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:54,800 Speaker 1: was looking for another corner but he's been banged up. So, 459 00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:58,159 Speaker 1: you know, one of the things, and I hate to 460 00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:00,280 Speaker 1: say it this way, but you know, a guy gets 461 00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:02,520 Speaker 1: banged up during training camp, and you know, Jermaine came 462 00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:04,680 Speaker 1: back for a day or two and then got dinged 463 00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:10,080 Speaker 1: up and did not finish practice. I don't believe on yesterday. 464 00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:13,679 Speaker 1: So sometimes an injury to a rookie ends up not 465 00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:17,280 Speaker 1: being a horrible thing because you don't have to cut him. 466 00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:20,560 Speaker 1: You just you can get him onto I R get 467 00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:22,119 Speaker 1: a chance to work. He gets to go through all 468 00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:24,000 Speaker 1: the meetings and do all that kind of stuff, but 469 00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:26,240 Speaker 1: he's not gonna practice. He just gets to rehab. So 470 00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:29,880 Speaker 1: sometimes that ends up working out. But I put Kelly, 471 00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:31,679 Speaker 1: I think you can make it definitely a case for 472 00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:33,760 Speaker 1: D Virgin. But I have five corners. I think that's 473 00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:36,120 Speaker 1: the biggest thing we know. The first three. I think 474 00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:38,359 Speaker 1: the first four. I think Batibos' is absolutely gonna be 475 00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:41,080 Speaker 1: there because you need a fourth corner, and I'm probably 476 00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:43,359 Speaker 1: would trust him because he's had experience doing that. And 477 00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:47,600 Speaker 1: then the fifth one ends up being D Virgin, Jermaine 478 00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:52,720 Speaker 1: Kelly or cha Cha I think, and and you probably 479 00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:55,000 Speaker 1: can get cha Cha and Kelly through waivers to get 480 00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:58,080 Speaker 1: them over to practice squad. So maybe it is D Virgin. 481 00:22:58,119 --> 00:22:59,680 Speaker 1: I think that maybe makes a little bit of sense. 482 00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:01,880 Speaker 1: A lot of this is going to depend on how 483 00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:04,200 Speaker 1: they do in those joint practices with their twenty nine ers, 484 00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:06,760 Speaker 1: and the first two preseason games we'll see, well the 485 00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:08,600 Speaker 1: first I mean all of them, really, I don't have 486 00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:11,800 Speaker 1: to make those cuts until the last one. Safety Obviously, 487 00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:13,800 Speaker 1: I take the honey Badger pretty safe to say he's 488 00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:16,800 Speaker 1: gonna make the squad along with Justin Reid and Kareem Jackson, 489 00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:19,520 Speaker 1: and I'll throw in Corey Moore as my fourth safety 490 00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:25,200 Speaker 1: and I'm done at safety. I've got the same four Tyrn, Justin, Kareem, Corey. Now, 491 00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:27,720 Speaker 1: Curtis Drumming is one of those last one out kind 492 00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:32,000 Speaker 1: of Joe Lenardi bracketology guys, and I think that he's 493 00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:34,399 Speaker 1: done pretty well based on what Bill O'Brien said. He 494 00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:36,840 Speaker 1: mentioned him by name, and so did Brian Gaine. Well, 495 00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:40,480 Speaker 1: Gaine's got to evaluate everybody virtually for us. But Bill 496 00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:43,840 Speaker 1: O'Brien was sort of saying, don't forget about Curtis Drumming. 497 00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:46,280 Speaker 1: So I'm not so sure what that means for Drumming, 498 00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:49,560 Speaker 1: the former Michigan State defensive back. But he's hanging around 499 00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:52,359 Speaker 1: here and making plays, so we'll see if he squeezes 500 00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:56,320 Speaker 1: himself in somehow. Well that's that's that's the thing. When 501 00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:58,840 Speaker 1: it comes down to roster spots, something a lot of 502 00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:01,560 Speaker 1: times ends up being about between a safety and a receiver, 503 00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:05,359 Speaker 1: which doesn't seem to make sense, but it sort of does, 504 00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:08,040 Speaker 1: because are you gonna get? Are you gonna get? And 505 00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:12,159 Speaker 1: I think of I think of all whom I just 506 00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:16,080 Speaker 1: completely lost track who I was thinking of Jayalen Strong. 507 00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:18,199 Speaker 1: Jayleen was not a guy that played a lot of 508 00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:21,160 Speaker 1: special teams. And so are you gonna keep Jayalen as 509 00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:24,480 Speaker 1: your fourth receiver if he doesn't end up helping you 510 00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:26,480 Speaker 1: a lot on special teams? Is that the right way 511 00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:29,679 Speaker 1: to go versus Hey, we might keep a fifth safety, 512 00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:31,280 Speaker 1: but we know that fifth safety is gonna help us 513 00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:34,320 Speaker 1: on special teams. So a lot of times the position battles, 514 00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:36,560 Speaker 1: and you know this, are between a safety and wide receiver, 515 00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:39,320 Speaker 1: or then it being between a corner and a tight end, 516 00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:44,280 Speaker 1: and it's sometimes the differentiator. At that point it becomes 517 00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:47,520 Speaker 1: double team becomes special teams. Now here's what I did. 518 00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:50,000 Speaker 1: After I did all that, I'm like, which guys do 519 00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:54,640 Speaker 1: I not have included? Now I have in my fifty three, 520 00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:58,480 Speaker 1: I have Deonte Formant and Martinis rankin, but I didn't 521 00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:03,320 Speaker 1: have prosh So I have one more spot. And these 522 00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:05,480 Speaker 1: are the list of players that I do not have 523 00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:07,600 Speaker 1: a spot for. And I think I know who it's 524 00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:09,720 Speaker 1: gonna be, all right, But here's who I do not have. 525 00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:13,520 Speaker 1: Let's give somebody a job today. Okay, let's givehim a job. No, 526 00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:21,600 Speaker 1: no particular order position, Tyler, Irvan mhm Ufoma Kamalu Oh Trusty, 527 00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:25,119 Speaker 1: trust and Dick who. I have no idea how to 528 00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:27,520 Speaker 1: evaluate him. I've seen him out there with the threes 529 00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:29,600 Speaker 1: and I just don't know. I think it's got to 530 00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:31,680 Speaker 1: be game action. I mean, he's a transition to safety, 531 00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:35,920 Speaker 1: so I think that's tough. I've written Andre hal down, 532 00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:39,000 Speaker 1: but I don't I think. I hate to say I 533 00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:40,879 Speaker 1: have D Virgin written down, but I really think it 534 00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:43,960 Speaker 1: becomes a D Virgin Jermaine Kelly kind of comparison there 535 00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:46,760 Speaker 1: in the corner. Sure, here's a guy that I would 536 00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:52,840 Speaker 1: absolutely hate, hate to lose. But I LaTroy Lewis. I 537 00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:56,520 Speaker 1: know he's been one of those players that people talk about, 538 00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:59,280 Speaker 1: coaches talk about. I love what he gives you. He's 539 00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:01,439 Speaker 1: easy to notice and see. This is what happened in 540 00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:03,520 Speaker 1: Oakland last year. He had a really good training camp 541 00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:05,800 Speaker 1: with Oakland, come out of Tennessee. I loved him come 542 00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:08,679 Speaker 1: out of Tennessee. And I'm I'm seeing him have some 543 00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:11,600 Speaker 1: really good time with Oakland. But I'm thinking woman. The 544 00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:13,520 Speaker 1: year they got Bruce Servant, they got Khloe Mack, and 545 00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:15,240 Speaker 1: they got a couple other guys that they drafted a 546 00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:18,480 Speaker 1: little bit higher. Shali Calhoun. He's not gonna have a spot, 547 00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:20,560 Speaker 1: and that's exactly what happened. As a spot, he ends 548 00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:22,520 Speaker 1: up here in Houston. He got on a fifty three, 549 00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:24,359 Speaker 1: actually got in the game day roster at the end 550 00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:27,600 Speaker 1: of last year. I think he's got some really good 551 00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:30,560 Speaker 1: football and I would hate to lose him, but if 552 00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:32,639 Speaker 1: I carry him, Here's the next guy don't have on 553 00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:36,400 Speaker 1: the roster this point is Carlos Watkins, and I don't 554 00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:39,439 Speaker 1: want to lose Watkins. I don't think you can afford 555 00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:43,320 Speaker 1: to lose Watkins. I'm with you. I don't have Kamalu either, 556 00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:46,240 Speaker 1: do I. Here's another one, and my last one's Curtis Drummond. 557 00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:48,159 Speaker 1: So wait, did you have four tight ends? You did 558 00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:50,359 Speaker 1: four ends? You did that four tight end you had 559 00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:52,879 Speaker 1: Steven Anderson making. It had Steven Anderson making. I had 560 00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:55,840 Speaker 1: Steven Anderson on the bubble. And to me, that's an 561 00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:58,000 Speaker 1: interesting one, all right. If you had to pick a 562 00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:00,280 Speaker 1: tight end to make the squad not named and Sin 563 00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:02,879 Speaker 1: or the draft choices of Ryan Griffin, who would you 564 00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:06,720 Speaker 1: pick Lengo between? I think Leo. I think Lengo makes 565 00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:09,879 Speaker 1: the most sense. Absolutely. Now here's to your point. You 566 00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:11,760 Speaker 1: mentioned this earlier and the last time. We're talking about 567 00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:15,720 Speaker 1: prosh at fullback, and I think with what they want 568 00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:18,119 Speaker 1: to do, having prosh makes a ton of sense. And 569 00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:20,480 Speaker 1: you said it. Do they have a tight end that 570 00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:22,600 Speaker 1: could give you some of the stuff that Prost gave you? 571 00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:26,600 Speaker 1: C CJ could do some of that. CJ for Orwards 572 00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:29,760 Speaker 1: could do some of that. Not as much do they 573 00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:32,840 Speaker 1: need to do? Could Lengo? He could do some of it. 574 00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:35,199 Speaker 1: He could at least pretend to do some of it. 575 00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:37,720 Speaker 1: But let me ask you this, Johnny, how much prosh 576 00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:40,199 Speaker 1: are they going to use in an offense with Deshaun Watson? Oh? 577 00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:42,920 Speaker 1: I think you're I think you're dead on that's the thing. 578 00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:45,880 Speaker 1: I think you always want to have that short yardage element? 579 00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:50,959 Speaker 1: But at what costs? And you're you're showing your hand right, 580 00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:52,320 Speaker 1: you know what I mean? How much do I really 581 00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:53,840 Speaker 1: want to show in my hand? Right? How much am 582 00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:55,600 Speaker 1: I gonna line up? Like? All right, let's go, we're 583 00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:58,520 Speaker 1: going jump ballpackage, We're gonna pound it in with Watson? 584 00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:01,359 Speaker 1: Don't I always want to spread out? Like? Why wouldn't 585 00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:02,919 Speaker 1: I always want to spread them out? This is one 586 00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:05,280 Speaker 1: of those things I don't understand about football. And you know, 587 00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:07,439 Speaker 1: everyone talks about the Patriots game. I was in the 588 00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:09,920 Speaker 1: sponsor tent today, people were still asking me about the 589 00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:12,600 Speaker 1: Patriots game. Late in the game. And I've said it 590 00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:14,639 Speaker 1: many times. I had no problem going for a field 591 00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:16,680 Speaker 1: goal right there and making the Patriots go for a touchdown. No, 592 00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:18,320 Speaker 1: it didn't work out, but I had no problem with that. 593 00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:21,080 Speaker 1: But on third down there they are running the ball 594 00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:24,720 Speaker 1: and everybody's bunched in so tight. The Patriots defense to 595 00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:27,280 Speaker 1: Houston offense, it's I mean, it's gonna be hard to 596 00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:29,359 Speaker 1: find a hole. Like you say, a lot of trash 597 00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:32,159 Speaker 1: there with Watson. You know, maybe now, like with the 598 00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:34,680 Speaker 1: fulls offseason, to think about it, maybe they always spread 599 00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:37,160 Speaker 1: everybody out at least to a degree, even in those 600 00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:40,080 Speaker 1: situations because keep everybody off balance, and I trust watch 601 00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:43,080 Speaker 1: Watson the throat in a short yardage situation. Well, here's 602 00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:45,840 Speaker 1: the thing, what you would run with a fullback I 603 00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:47,560 Speaker 1: think you could do with the tight ends. You know, 604 00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:50,840 Speaker 1: you run split flow zone like you run zone play. 605 00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:54,480 Speaker 1: Say you run zone play to the right. And one 606 00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:56,640 Speaker 1: of the things you know, I remember when Gary ran this, 607 00:28:57,120 --> 00:28:59,520 Speaker 1: they would run owen back across the formation, so they 608 00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:01,520 Speaker 1: would zone blocked it right, and an owned would go 609 00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:03,440 Speaker 1: back across the formation. He would kick out. They called 610 00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:07,000 Speaker 1: split zones. They're split in his zone. Well that's a 611 00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:09,240 Speaker 1: I don't say it's not. It's not a power play obviously, 612 00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:11,240 Speaker 1: but it's a type of play that you don't need 613 00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:13,720 Speaker 1: a fullback to do that. Ye, Now, there are ways 614 00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:16,440 Speaker 1: you can use a fullback. So the question becomes, do 615 00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:20,040 Speaker 1: you want a fullback that you know Jay's pretty reliable, 616 00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:21,320 Speaker 1: You're gonna be able to rely on him, and you 617 00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:23,320 Speaker 1: know he's gonna help you on special teams. But how 618 00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:24,840 Speaker 1: much are you gonna use them? It? To your point, 619 00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:27,360 Speaker 1: he's already a thirty thirty five percent guy in an 620 00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:30,320 Speaker 1: offense with Savage or bron or whoever. So how much 621 00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:35,400 Speaker 1: does that number become even fifteen to twenty maybe? And 622 00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:37,600 Speaker 1: that is there a player like we're going over these 623 00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:40,440 Speaker 1: guys who aren't making our rosters with the number crunch 624 00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:42,440 Speaker 1: we have, right, Maybe they're in a room saying, well, 625 00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:45,160 Speaker 1: look at least we get another spot for so and 626 00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:47,640 Speaker 1: so they might deem more valuable. That's one of the 627 00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:50,560 Speaker 1: things that will be interesting to follow next let's follow 628 00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:54,160 Speaker 1: a Brian Gaine had to say about linebackers today and 629 00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:57,680 Speaker 1: special teams obviously very important stuff with the general manager 630 00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:23,400 Speaker 1: reloaded next on Texans All Access. We've been doing this 631 00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:25,520 Speaker 1: just about every night on Texans All Access here from 632 00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:29,280 Speaker 1: the Greenbrier with our training camp programming, and that's Brian 633 00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:32,080 Speaker 1: gain reloaded. We had our final visit with the general 634 00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:35,800 Speaker 1: manager this morning of camp, because hey, he's got work 635 00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:37,719 Speaker 1: to do. And when we went over all the position 636 00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:42,280 Speaker 1: groups today with linebackers and special teams, and we started 637 00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:44,640 Speaker 1: off the conversation talking about how hard it was raining. 638 00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:48,000 Speaker 1: I mean, a huge storm system came through, driving rain 639 00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:51,760 Speaker 1: for most of practice. In fact, before practice the field 640 00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:56,320 Speaker 1: looked almost unplayable if you will, but they squeegeed it off, 641 00:30:56,800 --> 00:30:58,640 Speaker 1: they got the blowers out. You'll hear some of those 642 00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:00,800 Speaker 1: during this interview, and Brian Gaine made it very clear 643 00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:03,440 Speaker 1: that practice was a go. But we still have a 644 00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:05,200 Speaker 1: job to do. We still have work to get done, 645 00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:08,000 Speaker 1: and in a way, you know, we do have to 646 00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:10,800 Speaker 1: prepare for the elements during the season. So on a 647 00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:13,240 Speaker 1: ready rainy day like this, we just we gotta practice 648 00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:15,920 Speaker 1: smart and be efficient. But there may be a time 649 00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:18,920 Speaker 1: and place where we have to deal with something and such. 650 00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:21,640 Speaker 1: So I think it would be a good experience for 651 00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:23,880 Speaker 1: us to have to go through that today. Yeah, I 652 00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:25,880 Speaker 1: don't have to dunk the balls in water. You can 653 00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:27,920 Speaker 1: just leave the ball out and you'll have enough water. 654 00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:29,640 Speaker 1: Is that you say about Peyton Manning? But I were 655 00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:32,680 Speaker 1: talking about linebackers today and a guy that leads the 656 00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:36,160 Speaker 1: inside linebackers will start there is Bernardrick McKinney. You guys 657 00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:38,280 Speaker 1: been around here for a few years. What are your 658 00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:40,719 Speaker 1: thoughts about what he brings to the defense. A lot 659 00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:42,480 Speaker 1: of people said with no, Brian Cushy, he's the leader. 660 00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:44,160 Speaker 1: He feels like he's been the leader here for a 661 00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:46,880 Speaker 1: few years. What about b mac this year? Highly productive player? 662 00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:50,760 Speaker 1: Goes back to the prototypical standards too, types of players 663 00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:53,920 Speaker 1: that we want. Large man, six foot four, two hundred 664 00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:56,800 Speaker 1: fifty five pounds, he runs well, he can play three downs, 665 00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:01,400 Speaker 1: ready for a leadership role, and naturally with with Brian 666 00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:04,440 Speaker 1: Kashing no longer here, you know, we're hoping that he 667 00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:06,640 Speaker 1: can assert himself in that regard, and we see that 668 00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:09,560 Speaker 1: so far. So he can play the run, he can 669 00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:11,440 Speaker 1: play coverage. The other thing about him is he's a 670 00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:14,960 Speaker 1: pretty good blitzer. The other thing I've been impressed impressed 671 00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:18,960 Speaker 1: with with Bernardrick is his communication and his leadership and 672 00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:22,520 Speaker 1: taking some young guys under his wing. Uh directing traffic. 673 00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:24,640 Speaker 1: You see him talking to the line of scrimmage players. 674 00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:26,720 Speaker 1: You see him talking to the back end guys making 675 00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:30,480 Speaker 1: the checks, making the calls. So happy with everything we've 676 00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:32,680 Speaker 1: seen so far in his in his training camp performance. 677 00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:34,880 Speaker 1: We always talk about year one to year two job 678 00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:36,800 Speaker 1: and you have to be excited about Zach Cuttingham of 679 00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:38,920 Speaker 1: that context because he looked pretty good as a rookie. 680 00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:41,600 Speaker 1: So here he goes into his next season another highly 681 00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:43,680 Speaker 1: productive player. If you look at how he played at 682 00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:46,000 Speaker 1: Vanderbilt very much the same year, like one of the 683 00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:48,840 Speaker 1: leading tacklers in the SEC while he was there. And 684 00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:51,080 Speaker 1: now as you watch every practice, he's around the ball 685 00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:54,280 Speaker 1: all the time. Good key key and diagnos, has good 686 00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:56,600 Speaker 1: and read and reactability. He has good instincts. He's a 687 00:32:56,640 --> 00:32:59,840 Speaker 1: three down player. He's a long player as well. You've 688 00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:02,640 Speaker 1: deal his length in coverage. So yeah, as the ability 689 00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:05,000 Speaker 1: to play man, he has the ability played zone. But 690 00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:08,040 Speaker 1: but he's very quick that key and diagnose plays, I think, 691 00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:10,360 Speaker 1: which gives him an advantage to get to the ball. 692 00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:12,600 Speaker 1: He's around the ball a lot here in training camp. Yeah, 693 00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:15,760 Speaker 1: there's no Zach is fun to watch. Sometimes watching Zach, 694 00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:17,800 Speaker 1: it almost feels like he makes a play and he 695 00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:19,880 Speaker 1: stands up and you go, he doesn't even realize what 696 00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:22,840 Speaker 1: he's done. It feels like there's some untapped potential with him. 697 00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:26,040 Speaker 1: Even the other rookie last year now his second year, 698 00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:28,600 Speaker 1: and Bran, I'll ask you this two part question, and 699 00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:30,360 Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe you can't answer number one. Maybe 700 00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:33,560 Speaker 1: it's sort rhetorical, but I was so surprised when Dylan 701 00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:35,960 Speaker 1: Cole wasn't drafted. Why don't you mind? Do you think 702 00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:37,400 Speaker 1: he was not drafted? And why do you think he 703 00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:39,640 Speaker 1: was pretty successful in his rookie year here? Well, I 704 00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:43,120 Speaker 1: think everything is situational and circumstantial. So I mean I 705 00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:46,880 Speaker 1: can sit here today and say we had guys with 706 00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:49,400 Speaker 1: draft bull grades that went undrafted him this year's draft. 707 00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:52,160 Speaker 1: That just happens. Sometimes you could have a fourth, fifth, 708 00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:54,680 Speaker 1: sixth round grade on a player and somehow, some way, 709 00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:57,080 Speaker 1: when they're you know, that team's turn comes, they just 710 00:33:57,240 --> 00:33:59,760 Speaker 1: big go through the process. They took an offensive linement instead, 711 00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:01,520 Speaker 1: they like a tight end, it's like a running back. 712 00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:04,160 Speaker 1: A great thing about Dylan is his versatility. So if 713 00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:06,440 Speaker 1: you're asking a guy to be a key backup player 714 00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:09,200 Speaker 1: on the inside, you know he can play either or position. 715 00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:11,960 Speaker 1: He can play the strong inside linebacker position, the week 716 00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:15,360 Speaker 1: inside linebacker position, and he can play all three downs. 717 00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:17,520 Speaker 1: He's not just a two down performer or a two 718 00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:20,279 Speaker 1: down thumper. The other thing he brings great value to 719 00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:23,320 Speaker 1: is on special teams. So his versatility for the roster, 720 00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:25,799 Speaker 1: like when and if adversity strikes and we have to 721 00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:28,000 Speaker 1: plug him into a role, we feel like he can 722 00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:30,680 Speaker 1: back up either or position, do it on all three downs, 723 00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:34,000 Speaker 1: and also help Brad Seely on fourth down. Brian Whitney's back. 724 00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:37,120 Speaker 1: What are you seeing so far? A very very promising camp. 725 00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:40,440 Speaker 1: One thing I can say about Whitney's Whitney is he 726 00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:42,640 Speaker 1: is a great professional. And what I mean by that 727 00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:46,080 Speaker 1: is that guy prepares to play football. So behind the scenes, 728 00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:48,120 Speaker 1: what people may or may not know about Whitney is 729 00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:50,800 Speaker 1: his work ethic is great. He's a very good teammate. 730 00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:53,000 Speaker 1: He puts the time in, he takes care of his body, 731 00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:56,239 Speaker 1: he loves football. He's a good practice player. So when 732 00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:59,360 Speaker 1: you get to Sundays. I think his performance on Sundays 733 00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:02,160 Speaker 1: are consistent because of all the things that Whitney does 734 00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:06,000 Speaker 1: from Monday to Saturday. I don't know if we talked 735 00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:11,400 Speaker 1: about Jadeveon Clowney Bryan in the defensive line or because 736 00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:13,960 Speaker 1: we sort of never know which one he's supposed to 737 00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:15,920 Speaker 1: be from time to time, but the fact that he 738 00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:19,280 Speaker 1: can do all of those different things makes him somewhat 739 00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:23,880 Speaker 1: special compared to other players in the league. How important 740 00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:25,319 Speaker 1: is it for a guy like that to be able 741 00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:27,759 Speaker 1: to play as many spots as Jadevion does. Yeah, it's 742 00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:30,960 Speaker 1: a great benefit for our defensive game planning in reguards 743 00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:33,560 Speaker 1: to where he can play in a three point stance, 744 00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:35,640 Speaker 1: he can play in a two point two point stance. 745 00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:37,680 Speaker 1: He can play off the edge, or we can bump 746 00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:40,520 Speaker 1: him down inside. And it's the versatility in the sub 747 00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:43,480 Speaker 1: package fronts that really gives us a great advantage because 748 00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:45,120 Speaker 1: whether we want to have him on the right or 749 00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:46,840 Speaker 1: the left, he can do that. Whether we want to 750 00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:49,040 Speaker 1: keep them outside, off the edge or bump him down 751 00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:51,680 Speaker 1: and over a guard, and there are dime fronts. We 752 00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:54,360 Speaker 1: can be creative with him in terms of where we 753 00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:56,480 Speaker 1: want to bring him, so that creates a lot of 754 00:35:56,480 --> 00:36:00,239 Speaker 1: flexibility for our defensive game player. All right, well, let's 755 00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:02,160 Speaker 1: talk about some of the other guys. Brandon Scarlett who 756 00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:03,640 Speaker 1: burst out of the scene a couple of years ago 757 00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:05,879 Speaker 1: in the preseason, and what are you looking for from 758 00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:08,560 Speaker 1: him this year. Brennan's had a very good offseason, a 759 00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:10,560 Speaker 1: lot a lot of strength development, a lot of a 760 00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:13,160 Speaker 1: lot of core strength development. Has had a very good 761 00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:15,600 Speaker 1: off season with Luke Richardson and his staff. They're a 762 00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:18,880 Speaker 1: good rotational player, force winn and if adversity strikes. We 763 00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:23,240 Speaker 1: feel confident that our depth has improved with Brennan's development 764 00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:26,400 Speaker 1: and Brennan's improvement. Brennan's also a good special teams player, 765 00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:29,480 Speaker 1: so we're happy that that he brings that value as well. 766 00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:31,279 Speaker 1: But he's another guy that can play left or right, 767 00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:33,160 Speaker 1: either or and win. And if he has to go 768 00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:35,759 Speaker 1: in and play more snaps than a traditional backup, we 769 00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:38,319 Speaker 1: feel confident that the depth is good there, Bran. Two 770 00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:41,239 Speaker 1: young guys that you drafted late in the draft can 771 00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:44,560 Speaker 1: play outside linebacker. Love for you to expand on them. 772 00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:46,680 Speaker 1: Duke Edge of four from out of Wake Forest and 773 00:36:46,760 --> 00:36:49,759 Speaker 1: also Peter Kellumbaye from Stanford. What do you feel like 774 00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:51,960 Speaker 1: you have with those two young guys. So, Duke edge 775 00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:54,239 Speaker 1: of four is our fourth or six mound pick out 776 00:36:54,239 --> 00:36:56,799 Speaker 1: of Wake Forest. I was dealing with an injury when 777 00:36:56,800 --> 00:36:59,680 Speaker 1: we drafted him, so he spent this past spring and 778 00:36:59,719 --> 00:37:01,760 Speaker 1: summer or rehab and he's ready to go. He's cleared, 779 00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:04,280 Speaker 1: he's ready to go. He's got some promise and potential 780 00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:06,560 Speaker 1: as a rotational guy on the outside and the edge 781 00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:11,000 Speaker 1: to to be potentially a situational subrush guy. UH and 782 00:37:11,080 --> 00:37:14,480 Speaker 1: bringing him along and the run support element of it. UM. Also, 783 00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:16,440 Speaker 1: for those that don't know, he's a local kid, he's 784 00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:20,319 Speaker 1: a Houston kid yep. So so unique circumstance for him 785 00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:23,920 Speaker 1: and his family and UH. With Peter Uh, Peter was 786 00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:26,879 Speaker 1: our sixth round pick from Stanford. A lot like Duke, 787 00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:30,160 Speaker 1: just a developmental edge player. Gives us some flexibility to 788 00:37:30,200 --> 00:37:32,920 Speaker 1: play off the edge. The one thing about Peter that 789 00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:35,839 Speaker 1: he offers he had some drop ability where we think 790 00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:39,600 Speaker 1: he has some rush potential UM, but he's not always 791 00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:42,640 Speaker 1: uh just a one dimensional guy going forward. Peter offers 792 00:37:42,680 --> 00:37:46,000 Speaker 1: some skill and transitional skill set to drop into coverage 793 00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:47,879 Speaker 1: and it'd be pretty pretty good at it. So with 794 00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:50,280 Speaker 1: both of those guys, we feel like we upgraded the depth, 795 00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:54,600 Speaker 1: the rotation, the developmental upside at those positions. Whereas we 796 00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:57,720 Speaker 1: have our frontline guys we have a good rotational backup 797 00:37:57,800 --> 00:38:00,200 Speaker 1: value with with Scarlett, and then we have two young 798 00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:02,680 Speaker 1: guys that we have promising potential for at the outside 799 00:38:02,719 --> 00:38:05,359 Speaker 1: linebacker position. This is your final morning visit with us, 800 00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:07,399 Speaker 1: and we're going to talk special teams a little bit now. 801 00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:11,239 Speaker 1: But Brian Peters plays into both roles obviously linebacker and 802 00:38:11,400 --> 00:38:14,160 Speaker 1: special teams. He's been outstanding at that category. What about him? 803 00:38:14,280 --> 00:38:17,480 Speaker 1: So Brian is a is a valued backup because number 804 00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:21,279 Speaker 1: one playing inside linebacker for us in our defense, you 805 00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:24,440 Speaker 1: have to have fourth down value to really get the 806 00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:27,560 Speaker 1: forty six man game day Jersey. Brian brings that for us. Obviously, 807 00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:29,759 Speaker 1: he's six foot three, he's two hundred and thirty five, 808 00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:32,319 Speaker 1: two hundred and forty pounds, He's a four six guy. 809 00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:35,520 Speaker 1: He runs well, he has athleticism to the unit. But 810 00:38:35,680 --> 00:38:38,160 Speaker 1: fourth down will be critically important to what we're counting 811 00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:40,239 Speaker 1: on for Brian, and then anything he can give us 812 00:38:40,239 --> 00:38:43,800 Speaker 1: on defense will be great. But the heightweight, speed factor 813 00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:46,440 Speaker 1: and that always will translate. We think to the fourth 814 00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:49,120 Speaker 1: down performance and Brian for us so far, has been 815 00:38:49,239 --> 00:38:51,560 Speaker 1: been a critical part of that. Brian feels like Shane 816 00:38:51,600 --> 00:38:54,680 Speaker 1: Lackler can play forever, he could punt forever. He looks, 817 00:38:55,160 --> 00:38:58,520 Speaker 1: you know, as good as ever, seemingly having a weapon 818 00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:01,040 Speaker 1: like that. How important is that for Brad sealing his 819 00:39:01,080 --> 00:39:03,440 Speaker 1: group by uh? You know? We talk about Bill and 820 00:39:03,520 --> 00:39:06,680 Speaker 1: I often talked about the importance of fuel position, hidden 821 00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:09,640 Speaker 1: yardage in the game, and the punty game obviously is 822 00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:12,680 Speaker 1: a critically important element to that. We've also spent a 823 00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:14,799 Speaker 1: lot of time in this offseason trying to improve our 824 00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:17,560 Speaker 1: special teams coverage units, and that goes hand in hand 825 00:39:17,600 --> 00:39:20,359 Speaker 1: with with who the punter is. One thing I've learned 826 00:39:20,360 --> 00:39:22,840 Speaker 1: in my scouting experiences as I've gotten older in this 827 00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:26,640 Speaker 1: business is the importance of situational punts. It's not just 828 00:39:26,719 --> 00:39:28,960 Speaker 1: about booming the ball on the hang time, but the 829 00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:32,319 Speaker 1: ability to place it, to strategically loft it where you 830 00:39:32,360 --> 00:39:34,520 Speaker 1: are in the field from the fifty, coming out from 831 00:39:34,520 --> 00:39:37,520 Speaker 1: the goal line, and the ability to place the punts 832 00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:42,120 Speaker 1: so that it menches, matches and meshes with the coverage plan. 833 00:39:42,640 --> 00:39:44,440 Speaker 1: And Shane is skilled at that, and that's something I've 834 00:39:44,440 --> 00:39:46,800 Speaker 1: been impressed with so far up the more I've evaluated 835 00:39:46,920 --> 00:39:50,200 Speaker 1: chain Kaymie Fairbaron, You've got the skinny goal posts out here, 836 00:39:50,239 --> 00:39:52,520 Speaker 1: which is kind of like putting the dot out on 837 00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:57,319 Speaker 1: the bat or something like that. What about that? Yeah, Yeah, young, young, 838 00:39:57,400 --> 00:40:00,759 Speaker 1: promising prospect at the kicker position. Uh, you know, a 839 00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:03,120 Speaker 1: lot of upside. You know, we're pleased that we have him. 840 00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:05,200 Speaker 1: We think he's got a bright future. He's got good 841 00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:07,760 Speaker 1: len leg strength. The other thing I would say about 842 00:40:08,120 --> 00:40:11,000 Speaker 1: Kaimi is his ability to place the ball on kickoffs. 843 00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:12,879 Speaker 1: It's it's it's a good strength of his He's got 844 00:40:12,920 --> 00:40:15,760 Speaker 1: good ball control so much like I just talked about 845 00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:18,360 Speaker 1: with Shane. It's his ability to place the ball to 846 00:40:18,400 --> 00:40:20,640 Speaker 1: the left, place the ball to the right, and match 847 00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:23,800 Speaker 1: it with the coverage plan. Strategically match it with the 848 00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:26,280 Speaker 1: coverage plan. So he's got good ball control in that regard, 849 00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:27,719 Speaker 1: and when and if you need him to just boom it, 850 00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:30,560 Speaker 1: he's got enough l leg strength to do that as well. Brian. 851 00:40:30,640 --> 00:40:32,080 Speaker 1: I know this is the last time we're meeting with you, 852 00:40:32,160 --> 00:40:34,440 Speaker 1: so this is not special teams for linebackers. But I'm 853 00:40:34,480 --> 00:40:37,040 Speaker 1: so intrigued about the training camp process. Is now the 854 00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:40,200 Speaker 1: second year where you're going from ninety to fifty three 855 00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:42,640 Speaker 1: instead of having that kind of pit stop at seventy five. 856 00:40:43,440 --> 00:40:44,840 Speaker 1: I know there's the one side of it, a getting 857 00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:47,239 Speaker 1: your team to the fifty three, but the process of 858 00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:51,000 Speaker 1: having what thirty seven players times thirty two available on 859 00:40:51,040 --> 00:40:53,880 Speaker 1: the waiver wire right at the end of how chaotic 860 00:40:53,920 --> 00:40:56,400 Speaker 1: a process is that and how difficult to weekend is 861 00:40:56,440 --> 00:40:58,680 Speaker 1: that for you and your staff to go through all 862 00:40:58,719 --> 00:41:00,759 Speaker 1: of those players all at one is supposed to having 863 00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:02,879 Speaker 1: that one pit stop at seventy five before you get 864 00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:04,920 Speaker 1: the fifty three. So the first thing I think about 865 00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:08,239 Speaker 1: is as we go win from just ninety going to 866 00:41:08,320 --> 00:41:11,600 Speaker 1: fifty three, is we get more time to evaluate our 867 00:41:11,640 --> 00:41:14,279 Speaker 1: own players. Number one, number two, I really think about 868 00:41:14,320 --> 00:41:17,040 Speaker 1: the forty six man in that regard the game day roster, 869 00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:20,879 Speaker 1: because now we have more time perhaps to evaluate fourth 870 00:41:20,880 --> 00:41:24,279 Speaker 1: down players and just a big picture global vision right now, 871 00:41:24,320 --> 00:41:26,759 Speaker 1: So we're talking about a forty six man roster. The 872 00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:29,280 Speaker 1: big skill and the skill players who offer special teams 873 00:41:29,360 --> 00:41:32,040 Speaker 1: value for us. They have a very good chance of 874 00:41:32,080 --> 00:41:35,160 Speaker 1: earning a game day jersey more so than just being 875 00:41:35,200 --> 00:41:37,440 Speaker 1: a forty seven to fifty three man guy. So the 876 00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:39,919 Speaker 1: guys that bring fourth down value, we think we'll get 877 00:41:40,160 --> 00:41:43,200 Speaker 1: more evaluated time with But as it relates to the 878 00:41:43,239 --> 00:41:46,400 Speaker 1: scouting process through the preseason, we put a lot of 879 00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:49,960 Speaker 1: time and a lot of preparation into strategically planning how 880 00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:54,080 Speaker 1: we're coverage covering the league. Our scouts Matt Basking, our 881 00:41:54,080 --> 00:41:57,360 Speaker 1: director player Personnel, James Liffer, our college director, Rob Kissel, 882 00:41:57,400 --> 00:42:00,399 Speaker 1: our pro scouting director. We have globally set a plan 883 00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:03,200 Speaker 1: in place to evaluate all the rosters in the National 884 00:42:03,200 --> 00:42:06,359 Speaker 1: Football League as it relates to any upgrades we could 885 00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:09,200 Speaker 1: identify any positions of need we think that could help us. 886 00:42:09,560 --> 00:42:11,799 Speaker 1: But that plan has already started in place way back 887 00:42:11,800 --> 00:42:14,239 Speaker 1: in May and June post draft, so that we will 888 00:42:14,280 --> 00:42:17,600 Speaker 1: be ready for when the fifty three man cut comes down. Brian, 889 00:42:17,640 --> 00:42:20,080 Speaker 1: we really appreciate these visits and I little listeners due 890 00:42:20,120 --> 00:42:22,400 Speaker 1: to getting all the insight and information on these players. 891 00:42:22,440 --> 00:42:23,880 Speaker 1: So thank you very much for joining us during the 892 00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:26,400 Speaker 1: training camp shows.
