1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,920 Speaker 1: I am so fired up. I'm way too fired up. 2 00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:06,120 Speaker 1: We're not even through mini camp yet, and that is 3 00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:09,159 Speaker 1: next week, so let's talk about that. Mark Vanderver and 4 00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:12,159 Speaker 1: John Harris with you tonight live as we have the 5 00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:14,920 Speaker 1: General because it's Thursday night. This is what we do 6 00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:18,400 Speaker 1: and we are privileged to have him aboard. John McClain 7 00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:20,880 Speaker 1: with us, General, how are you doing. What's your latest 8 00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:22,919 Speaker 1: take on what you saw this week at OTA's. I 9 00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:24,639 Speaker 1: know you don't make much of it, but you have 10 00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:28,480 Speaker 1: to have some general thoughts here, General, and mini camp 11 00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:30,920 Speaker 1: coming up next week before we hit the long break. 12 00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:31,360 Speaker 1: Good evening. 13 00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:34,000 Speaker 2: It'll be thank you. It'll be nice to see all 14 00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:36,400 Speaker 2: the players show up. The guys that haven't been there. 15 00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:39,080 Speaker 2: They have to be there next week for the mandatory 16 00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:43,479 Speaker 2: mini camp. And I thought it was a great play 17 00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:47,880 Speaker 2: was made by Xavier ex Xavier Hutchinson deep passed down 18 00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:50,120 Speaker 2: the middle and which he went up, made great play. 19 00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:52,360 Speaker 2: Guys were running right with him, and those are the 20 00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:55,480 Speaker 2: kind of plays we saw him naked Iowa State, where 21 00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:57,920 Speaker 2: he was the best receiver in the Big twelve, one 22 00:00:57,920 --> 00:00:59,760 Speaker 2: of the best in the country. And I still don't 23 00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:02,440 Speaker 2: know why he lasted until the sixth round. I'm glad 24 00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:06,400 Speaker 2: nixt Sereo traded up to get him. Nick mentioned something 25 00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:09,120 Speaker 2: in his post draft news conference about the way he 26 00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:11,680 Speaker 2: worked out, and I think get that helped the Texans 27 00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:14,280 Speaker 2: get him. Then they should be glad. But he you know, 28 00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:18,400 Speaker 2: he's six three, and they need a young receiver to emerge, 29 00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:21,319 Speaker 2: like all these people want DeAndre Hopkins. They don't need 30 00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:24,119 Speaker 2: two thirty one year old starting wide receivers when you're 31 00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:25,960 Speaker 2: in the third year of a rebuilt And he let 32 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,000 Speaker 2: these young guys get a chance. They got a lot 33 00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:32,160 Speaker 2: of young guys with talent that the fans want to see. 34 00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:35,839 Speaker 2: I was watching Tank Dale and other returners and take 35 00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:40,399 Speaker 2: Dale has quickness I can't remember. He kind of reminds 36 00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:43,440 Speaker 2: me of Trending Holiday. But he's smaller. He's not he's 37 00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:46,400 Speaker 2: not as short, but he's then, but he's so quick. 38 00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:49,960 Speaker 2: He's liking that and watching him cut and plant and 39 00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:52,320 Speaker 2: work his way through the guys even though they're not 40 00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:55,000 Speaker 2: going to hit him. I can't wait to see Tank 41 00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:57,200 Speaker 2: a returning Kings. Can't wait see him catch the ball 42 00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:59,960 Speaker 2: in the middle of the field and see him make maneuver. 43 00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:03,680 Speaker 2: You know, Stroud worked a little bit with first team receivers. 44 00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:06,240 Speaker 2: It's too bad. So many of his linemen are out 45 00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:08,600 Speaker 2: and he's not been able to work with the top guys. 46 00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:11,880 Speaker 2: But you know, when we get to training camp and 47 00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:15,240 Speaker 2: they can start, you know, not taking anybody to the ground, 48 00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:19,160 Speaker 2: but you can see him cover get away from DB's separation, 49 00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:21,680 Speaker 2: things like that. I'm fired up too. 50 00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:24,639 Speaker 3: Hey, general, I know it's just the OTAs I get 51 00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:24,920 Speaker 3: all that. 52 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,000 Speaker 4: And obviously, two days or three days of mini camp 53 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,240 Speaker 4: or whatever it's going to be this week, and you 54 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:31,680 Speaker 4: haven't seen the lineman do anything. But has there been 55 00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:33,720 Speaker 4: anybody to you that you're like, you know what, that 56 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:34,960 Speaker 4: guy's kind of surprising. 57 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:36,640 Speaker 3: I didn't think much. 58 00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:38,320 Speaker 4: Of that guy going in, or I wasn't thinking much 59 00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 4: of him, but man, you watch him now and well 60 00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:40,920 Speaker 4: he's pretty impressive. 61 00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:42,680 Speaker 3: Has there been anybody like that to you that stood 62 00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:43,200 Speaker 3: out that way? 63 00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:46,560 Speaker 2: It's hard to tell about linebackers and defensive backs. If 64 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,120 Speaker 2: you look at lineman and you see the people they 65 00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:52,079 Speaker 2: could be counting on. Dylan Hardon, it would be a 66 00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:54,800 Speaker 2: godsend if he could get in the rotation. Now you 67 00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,760 Speaker 2: know Will Anderson's going to start. You have Jonathan Gernard 68 00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:01,480 Speaker 2: and Jerry Hughes of the last year of their contracts, 69 00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:04,359 Speaker 2: and then Horden. If he could get in at defensive 70 00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,480 Speaker 2: end and be in that rotation, that would be terrific. 71 00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:11,040 Speaker 2: He's got good size, he's got quickness. They need guys 72 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:14,160 Speaker 2: on the inside to be able to penetrate. You know, 73 00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:17,160 Speaker 2: they're always looking for a guy next to Malik Collins. 74 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:20,360 Speaker 2: I'll watch him out there busting his butt, sweating like crazy. 75 00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:23,040 Speaker 2: That's one reason of coaches are always so fired up 76 00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:25,640 Speaker 2: about Milie Collins. I have a column that will be 77 00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:28,160 Speaker 2: on sports Radio six ten dot com in the morning. 78 00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:30,679 Speaker 2: And I went back and look at Demiko Ryans is 79 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:35,000 Speaker 2: back seven. Now one guy was drafted above the third 80 00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:38,520 Speaker 2: round except Jimmy Ward way before Dimiko got there in 81 00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:42,200 Speaker 2: twenty fourteen. And now he's there, and those guys have 82 00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:45,800 Speaker 2: developed into Pro Bowl players who helped them have the 83 00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 2: number one defense in the league, number two against the 84 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:53,160 Speaker 2: run without having it Derek Stingley Junior or Jalen Petrie 85 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:55,480 Speaker 2: back they're taking in the first or second round, and 86 00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:58,760 Speaker 2: Dimiko can help do that with the forty nine ers 87 00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:02,200 Speaker 2: back seven. No telling what he can do here working 88 00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:06,160 Speaker 2: with guys like Stingley and Patrick. But of course forty 89 00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:08,760 Speaker 2: nine ers had three number one picks in the defensive line, 90 00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:10,960 Speaker 2: and it's not gonna be They're not gonna be able 91 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,400 Speaker 2: to do that all at once here, but it's coming. 92 00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:15,960 Speaker 2: So they got to get those line but to step 93 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:19,800 Speaker 2: up and play middy. Collins is good. Grenard when he's health, 94 00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:22,120 Speaker 2: he's good. Qu'es when he's health he's good. But they 95 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:25,160 Speaker 2: need other guys to emerge as part of their rotation. 96 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:27,080 Speaker 1: This is the kind of question I could ask in 97 00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:30,640 Speaker 1: mid August. But let's set the table now, general, what 98 00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:33,360 Speaker 1: do you think is the toughest cut on the team? 99 00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:37,080 Speaker 1: The position group that's gonna be toughest to whittle down 100 00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:39,400 Speaker 1: to whatever the whatever the number is they want it 101 00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:39,599 Speaker 1: to be. 102 00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:42,480 Speaker 2: Well, you can kind of look at the offensive line. 103 00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:45,039 Speaker 2: You know who the top three tackles are gonna be. 104 00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:47,960 Speaker 2: You know who the right guard's gonna be. I think 105 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,520 Speaker 2: it's gonna be a tougher cut, but not like the 106 00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 2: defensive line. There's so many defensive linemen on this team. 107 00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:56,200 Speaker 2: I think there's John You've probably kind of them. I 108 00:04:56,240 --> 00:05:00,720 Speaker 2: think it's like sixteen or seventeen. And if it's tough cut, 109 00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:03,160 Speaker 2: it doesn't mean because they're all doing well, it means 110 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:06,520 Speaker 2: they're close together. They're playing a different defense, you know, 111 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:10,200 Speaker 2: as Matt Burke, the new coordinator, says, they want to attack, 112 00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:13,039 Speaker 2: attack up front with a four men rush and hopefully 113 00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:16,440 Speaker 2: they don't have to blitz. Well, there's opportunity there, and 114 00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:18,520 Speaker 2: we know four of them. They are going to be 115 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:21,240 Speaker 2: here for sure. The three ends I mentioned in Malik 116 00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:25,080 Speaker 2: Collins and everybody else seems to be competing for jobs. 117 00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:27,800 Speaker 2: Nothing's going to happen to a fourth round pick like Horton. 118 00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:29,960 Speaker 2: But I can't wait to watch them because it's so 119 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:32,760 Speaker 2: important to what Demiko Ryans and Matt Burke want to do. 120 00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:35,360 Speaker 2: It all starts up front on defense, and that's how 121 00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:38,520 Speaker 2: you make those guys in the secondary when they're not 122 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:41,080 Speaker 2: out there by themselves. And I thought it was also 123 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:44,119 Speaker 2: interesting I found out looking through all this, only five 124 00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 2: players started seventeen games last year, and one of them 125 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:51,000 Speaker 2: was Jonathan Owens, who's gone. They didn't invite it back. 126 00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:54,440 Speaker 2: Jimmy Warton Jalen Petru would be the starting safeties, but 127 00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,400 Speaker 2: they need more guys to have the kind of durability 128 00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:01,840 Speaker 2: they did. Larimie Tunzel, who we hope we'll see next week. 129 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:04,039 Speaker 2: I'm guessing he's spending some of that money that he 130 00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:06,800 Speaker 2: got for being the high spade lineman in history for 131 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,240 Speaker 2: the second time in his career. You know, Larimer will 132 00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:11,480 Speaker 2: be there. He played great last year. And Titus Howard 133 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,360 Speaker 2: started every game last year. Now he's in a contract. 134 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:17,360 Speaker 2: He's got what one year left on his contract. It's 135 00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:20,760 Speaker 2: a big season for Titus Howard as well. But I'm 136 00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:23,520 Speaker 2: still gonna save the defensive line because I can only 137 00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:27,359 Speaker 2: pick out about four that I can say for sure 138 00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:29,520 Speaker 2: are gonna make that roster general. 139 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:31,640 Speaker 4: I hope that these four veterans I'm gonna ask you 140 00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:33,960 Speaker 4: about all have really good seasons. 141 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:35,440 Speaker 3: I hope they all have good seasons. 142 00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:38,240 Speaker 4: But if you had to pick one that absolutely, without 143 00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:42,000 Speaker 4: a question, had to have a stellaroo. 144 00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:44,320 Speaker 2: That's a good one. Fire away, John here, a great one. 145 00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:47,400 Speaker 4: You pick one of the four that has to have 146 00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:53,239 Speaker 4: a great season, Jimmy Ward, Sheldon Rankins, Denzel Perryman, Shack Mason. 147 00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:54,480 Speaker 3: Which of those. 148 00:06:54,360 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 4: Four has to have a tremendous season for this Texans team. 149 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:02,000 Speaker 4: I mean, three of them could stick, but the one 150 00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:04,880 Speaker 4: that you pick has to have that great season that 151 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:07,599 Speaker 4: really can kind of trigger this team in twenty twenty three. 152 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:09,240 Speaker 3: Which guy you think it is? A those four? 153 00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:11,720 Speaker 2: Shack Mason because he's not going to be in a 154 00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:15,320 Speaker 2: rotation like the defensive lineman and Jimmy Ward's going to be. 155 00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:18,320 Speaker 2: He's about to turn thirty two. This is tenth season, 156 00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:21,520 Speaker 2: and it'd be great if he could be a great player. 157 00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:24,360 Speaker 2: But Shaq Mason was brought here for a reason to 158 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:27,960 Speaker 2: solidify right guard. You know, they change offensive line coaches, 159 00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:32,640 Speaker 2: offensive line systems, everything every year, and they change right guard. 160 00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:36,560 Speaker 2: Shaq Mason should start seventeen games. I don't know that 161 00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:39,080 Speaker 2: any of those others will. In fact, I know they 162 00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:41,600 Speaker 2: won't because they're going to be part of rotations. But 163 00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:44,280 Speaker 2: I would say him because the offensive line is so 164 00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:46,560 Speaker 2: key to what they want to do. And even though 165 00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:49,360 Speaker 2: he's a guard, it's not as important a position as 166 00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:52,800 Speaker 2: some of those others. I still think Mason was brought 167 00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:55,240 Speaker 2: here to be a leader, and he was brought here 168 00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:58,520 Speaker 2: to be a contributor to a line that has to 169 00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:00,720 Speaker 2: finally show some stability. 170 00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:04,960 Speaker 1: John, what about Robert Woods? What are your expectations for 171 00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:07,720 Speaker 1: him in this offense? Is he the type of player 172 00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:10,080 Speaker 1: who at his age they're going to look to, Hey, 173 00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:12,320 Speaker 1: let's get the young guys in there, but Robert Woods 174 00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:15,200 Speaker 1: will hold it down. Or are you expecting big time 175 00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:18,480 Speaker 1: production from him? A year removed from recovery from the 176 00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:21,360 Speaker 1: knee injury that set him down in twenty twenty one. 177 00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:23,680 Speaker 1: He got back last year, but probably didn't have the 178 00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:25,680 Speaker 1: kind of campaign he was looking for. He's used to 179 00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:28,400 Speaker 1: bigger campaigns than that. I know the Titans were highly flawed. 180 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:28,920 Speaker 1: Your thoughts. 181 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,360 Speaker 2: A couple of weeks ago, I was watching Stephanie Anabell, 182 00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:34,360 Speaker 2: who does all the injuries for ESPN, and she was 183 00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:37,679 Speaker 2: talking about the history of players being better in their 184 00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:41,439 Speaker 2: second year back from torn acls. Now there's exceptions. Adrian 185 00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:44,440 Speaker 2: Peterson made the quickest and greatest comeback I've ever seen 186 00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:47,920 Speaker 2: from a torn acl and I think Woods is the 187 00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:51,280 Speaker 2: same age as Deanray Hopkins. He's a couple months older. 188 00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:55,320 Speaker 2: In twenty twenty when Diop was great for the Cardinals, 189 00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:58,720 Speaker 2: Robert Woods was great for the Rams. He had like 190 00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:02,560 Speaker 2: ninety catches. I've heard something Yards six touchdown, same number 191 00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:04,840 Speaker 2: hop Heads. So he was good and one of the 192 00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:08,040 Speaker 2: reasons they like him, and a lot of this is subconscious. 193 00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:12,199 Speaker 2: He's got opportunity, and I think he'll be CJ. Stroud's 194 00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:16,480 Speaker 2: favorite receiver. He in Dulton Schultz because Woods is a veteran. 195 00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:20,480 Speaker 2: Woods will be a good leader for Stroud. Stroud will 196 00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:22,920 Speaker 2: know when he goes back, Woods is going to be 197 00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:25,040 Speaker 2: where he's supposed to be. Some of these young guys 198 00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:27,400 Speaker 2: they don't know. I remember Warren man Bone used to 199 00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:30,160 Speaker 2: tell me some guys when they're young receivers, you know 200 00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:32,280 Speaker 2: where they're supposed to be, but they don't, so in 201 00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:35,280 Speaker 2: clutch situations you can't trust him. But a veteran and 202 00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:37,880 Speaker 2: he was using the example of the late great Druell 203 00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:41,000 Speaker 2: and this one would be Robert Woods. Stroud will know 204 00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:45,200 Speaker 2: that when when he needs Woods to be somewhere, that's 205 00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:46,920 Speaker 2: where he's going to be. Then it'll be up to 206 00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:49,640 Speaker 2: Robert to make the catch. The coaches and the team 207 00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:51,520 Speaker 2: just love Robert Woods. 208 00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:55,680 Speaker 4: Behind the scenes, General ESPN did an article and they 209 00:09:55,920 --> 00:10:00,000 Speaker 4: came up with the quote unquote roster corps five guys 210 00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:01,320 Speaker 4: that they believe making. 211 00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:03,920 Speaker 3: Do you agree c J. 212 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:08,000 Speaker 4: Stroud, Laramie tunsl Will Anderson Junior, Derek Stingley Junior Damian Pierce. 213 00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:10,079 Speaker 4: Do you think that's the core five for the Texans. 214 00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:15,160 Speaker 2: You can't say Stroud and Anderson anything about him when 215 00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:18,440 Speaker 2: they haven't played. Now, Titus Howard ought to be on there, 216 00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:22,560 Speaker 2: Damien Piars, Jalen Petrie. I've got Tunsul of course number one. 217 00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:23,640 Speaker 2: So that's four. 218 00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:23,960 Speaker 5: Now. 219 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:27,280 Speaker 2: Of course the expectations are Will Anderson may end up 220 00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:29,760 Speaker 2: being defensive Rookie of the Year, But when they haven't 221 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:31,959 Speaker 2: taken a snap. Had him at a mini camp, the 222 00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:35,040 Speaker 2: veteran mini camp, I wouldn't do that. So if you 223 00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:36,880 Speaker 2: had to pick a fifth guy, who would it be? 224 00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:40,440 Speaker 2: I would say Malik Collins. The coaches love Collins. He's 225 00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:42,840 Speaker 2: been a tough guy in the middle. He's been a 226 00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:46,240 Speaker 2: contributor since he got here. Every staff has liked him. 227 00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:48,760 Speaker 2: I would put him on that top five. Now, if 228 00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:52,720 Speaker 2: you ask this question a quarter point through the season, 229 00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:55,120 Speaker 2: then Will Anderson, you know he's going to be He 230 00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:56,920 Speaker 2: should be right up there if he's healthy. 231 00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:59,280 Speaker 1: John, what are you hearing in Nashville about how Will 232 00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:02,760 Speaker 1: Levis's doing? And Tannehill and all our friends with the 233 00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:05,959 Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans as they embark on another campaign. 234 00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:10,080 Speaker 2: You know they were six and six when Tannehill was 235 00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:13,320 Speaker 2: healthy last year, and then he got hurt, so you know, 236 00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:15,280 Speaker 2: they think they're going to finish second. Of course, they 237 00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:17,560 Speaker 2: think they're gonna win the division. They had home field 238 00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:20,600 Speaker 2: advantage two years ago they got to use. They're talking 239 00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:24,080 Speaker 2: about Derrick Henry catching more passes, and I'm thinking that'd 240 00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:26,080 Speaker 2: be one of the dumbest things I've ever heard, because 241 00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:30,000 Speaker 2: every defensive coordinator and player in the league will go, man, 242 00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:32,679 Speaker 2: thank you send him on a route. Don't have him 243 00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:35,800 Speaker 2: coming in there between the tackles. So they're hoping that 244 00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:38,360 Speaker 2: Trey line burks in his second year. And if they 245 00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:41,360 Speaker 2: signed DeAndre Hopkins and hops going for the money, not 246 00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:43,920 Speaker 2: for the Super Bowl, and that would be a good move. 247 00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:47,079 Speaker 2: They've had to totally rebuild their offensive line. I don't 248 00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:48,800 Speaker 2: know if it's going to be any good or not. 249 00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:52,880 Speaker 2: And their defense is always good. But I think realistically 250 00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:56,280 Speaker 2: most people think they'll win second and then it'll be 251 00:11:56,400 --> 00:12:00,679 Speaker 2: between Houston and Indy for the third life Tay an 252 00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:03,440 Speaker 2: interesting thing I saw people just doing and on over 253 00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:07,520 Speaker 2: Anthony Richardson throwing balls in the trash can, and I'm thinking, man, 254 00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:10,840 Speaker 2: they're not getting covered and he's not getting rushed, and 255 00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:13,160 Speaker 2: how many times he gonna be thrown into a trash can. 256 00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:17,600 Speaker 4: During the game, as you guys talked about the Tennessee Titans, 257 00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:19,160 Speaker 4: I was like, man, I think we've buried the let 258 00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:22,520 Speaker 4: in some sense. Then you mentioned DeAndre Hopkins John the 259 00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:25,120 Speaker 4: fact that he is going to take a visit apparently 260 00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:30,400 Speaker 4: on Sunday to Tennessee, which I can't Honestly, if I 261 00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:33,880 Speaker 4: think about Hopkins' decision, John, I think about getting the bag, 262 00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:36,199 Speaker 4: get some money, or going and getting a ring. I 263 00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:38,680 Speaker 4: don't think he gets either one of them in going 264 00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:41,280 Speaker 4: to Tennessee. What'd you make of the fact that Tennessee 265 00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:43,679 Speaker 4: is going to be a stop on Hopkins World tour 266 00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,280 Speaker 4: to find a spot for twenty twenty three. 267 00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:49,480 Speaker 2: I don't know how much money they have available. You 268 00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:52,280 Speaker 2: can always make that contract where it's a low cap 269 00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:54,440 Speaker 2: figure in the first year if they want to do it. 270 00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:56,640 Speaker 2: Arizona could have done it if they'd have wanted to 271 00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:59,440 Speaker 2: keep him, but they didn't. I saw somebody right. If 272 00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:01,680 Speaker 2: you're in airs on it, you're thirty, you're not long 273 00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:03,880 Speaker 2: for the world, and you're doing them a favor getting 274 00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:06,360 Speaker 2: rid of guys from the Arizona because everybody thinks they're 275 00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:07,840 Speaker 2: going to be the worst team in the league. They're 276 00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:10,360 Speaker 2: probably begging, I'm about to turn twenty eight, can't you 277 00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:13,120 Speaker 2: go ahead and get me next? Hop had a list 278 00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:15,559 Speaker 2: two weeks ago teams he wanted to go to. It 279 00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:18,760 Speaker 2: was four Super Bowl contenders, four direct quarterbacks, and then 280 00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:21,320 Speaker 2: he got an agent. And since he's got an agent, 281 00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:24,760 Speaker 2: Hop loves everybody. So I'm guessing that a lot of 282 00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:27,719 Speaker 2: this is the agent, because if he really wanted to 283 00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:30,559 Speaker 2: go to Super Bowl, he would call a team, call 284 00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:33,840 Speaker 2: Andy Reid and say, look, what do I need to 285 00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:36,880 Speaker 2: do to come there? Because he's made so much money, 286 00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:39,559 Speaker 2: he's I don't think he's married, and he's never been 287 00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:42,920 Speaker 2: one that we think is ostentation with taitious when it 288 00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:46,640 Speaker 2: comes to spending, except sometime on his wardrobe a costume. 289 00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:49,760 Speaker 2: And so I'm guessing he's got a lot of money. 290 00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:52,280 Speaker 2: But you know, the idea is players they want to win, 291 00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:55,760 Speaker 2: but they want money too. And the Browns, I'm still 292 00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:58,719 Speaker 2: going to guess that the Browns, and even though they 293 00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:01,960 Speaker 2: have five receivers including three new ones to go with 294 00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:06,520 Speaker 2: returning starters Marty Cooper and Donovan people Jones, Shaun Watson 295 00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:10,160 Speaker 2: continues to lobby them, and Tony Grosie my buddy covers 296 00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:12,760 Speaker 2: the team, he said. Because of the June first deadline 297 00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:16,000 Speaker 2: last week, the Browns have freed up some cap money. 298 00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:19,040 Speaker 2: And even though Watson is lobbying foreign there's a lot 299 00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:21,920 Speaker 2: of people say, well, you already got five receivers here, 300 00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:24,880 Speaker 2: where's he gonna fit? And I was with Willi's DeAndre Hopkins. 301 00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:27,560 Speaker 2: If he's healthy, he'll fit wherever he wants to fit. 302 00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:31,640 Speaker 2: And so I'm gonna guess that they've done everything they 303 00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:35,480 Speaker 2: can to put people around Watson, and if he wants 304 00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:38,240 Speaker 2: hop I'm guessing that Op's gonna go there. 305 00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:41,840 Speaker 1: John, who is the best coach the Texans will face 306 00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:45,080 Speaker 1: this year? They're not playing Andy Reid, they're not playing 307 00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:48,680 Speaker 1: Bill Belichick. Who is the best coach they got? John Harball, 308 00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:52,040 Speaker 1: you got Mike Tomlin, You've got rabel in the division, 309 00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:55,960 Speaker 1: you have Sean Payton out in Denver. What are you 310 00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:58,880 Speaker 1: thinking here? Best coach they will face this year? 311 00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:02,920 Speaker 2: It amazes here are people all the time talking about 312 00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:06,640 Speaker 2: Sean Payton's Hall of Fame coach and maybe he will be. 313 00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:09,360 Speaker 2: But he's won one Super Bowl, he won time. He 314 00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:11,720 Speaker 2: went seven and nine three years in a row, and 315 00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:14,760 Speaker 2: it's amazing he won such great coach when Drew Brees left. 316 00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:17,600 Speaker 2: If you look at great coaches, how many of them 317 00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:20,720 Speaker 2: had great quarterbacks? Almost every one of them. That's why 318 00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:23,920 Speaker 2: Joe Gibbs winning three Super Bowls and going to a 319 00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:27,480 Speaker 2: fourth with four different quarterbacks whose names have never been 320 00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:29,920 Speaker 2: used in a sentence with Hall of Fame maybe the 321 00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:34,840 Speaker 2: most impressive postseason accomplishment in history. John Harbaugh has been 322 00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:38,800 Speaker 2: a consistently great coach. Like Peyton, had some ups and downs, 323 00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:42,000 Speaker 2: but he's also won one. Do they play the Patriots 324 00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:44,760 Speaker 2: this year? I can't even remember. I'm guessing naughty. You 325 00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:47,800 Speaker 2: wouldn't ask that question. And Mike Grabel around the league 326 00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:49,680 Speaker 2: is viewed as a great coach, so I would have 327 00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:52,160 Speaker 2: to say, off the top of my head, it would 328 00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:53,680 Speaker 2: be Peyton or Harball. 329 00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:59,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's probably. That's pretty close. I mean, this is 330 00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:00,560 Speaker 3: one of those odd years. 331 00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:04,000 Speaker 4: There's no Belichick, there's no Andy Reid, at least at 332 00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:04,960 Speaker 4: this particular point. 333 00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:09,200 Speaker 2: So we'll see Mike Tomlin. Tomlin, Mike Tomlin, there you go. 334 00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:11,840 Speaker 2: I put Mike Tomlin right up there with those guys. 335 00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:13,880 Speaker 2: All have one super Bowl ring. 336 00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:16,920 Speaker 4: General one team the Texans do not play in twenty 337 00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:18,760 Speaker 4: twenty three. We'll playhim in twenty twenty four, but not 338 00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:22,400 Speaker 4: at twenty twenty three. It's the Minnesota Vikings. They jettisoned 339 00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:27,400 Speaker 4: Eric Kendricks, they jettisoned and Adam Thielen. They apparently tomorrow 340 00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:30,760 Speaker 4: will release Dalvin Cook, and it looks like Danil Hunter 341 00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:34,040 Speaker 4: may not be too far behind. So two part question A, 342 00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:39,080 Speaker 4: what exactly are the Vikings doing? And B the Texans. 343 00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:41,400 Speaker 4: Maybe not Dalvin Cook, but Daniel Hunter. He went to 344 00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:43,960 Speaker 4: Warree ranch out and Katie, you know there's a Houston connection. 345 00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:46,360 Speaker 4: He's an edge guy. I think you could still use 346 00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:48,280 Speaker 4: some edge guys, especially you guy. It's one of the 347 00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:50,280 Speaker 4: best in the league. What her thoughts about the Vikings 348 00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:52,600 Speaker 4: and then potentially any of those guys that Texans may 349 00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:53,120 Speaker 4: look at. 350 00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:55,920 Speaker 2: By Gary Thing, Danielle Munner. Would it be about money 351 00:16:56,040 --> 00:17:01,520 Speaker 2: turns twenty nine in October? I'm I'm not sure they 352 00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:04,439 Speaker 2: can use edge guys. But they already got three Do 353 00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:06,399 Speaker 2: they need four? Do they want of guy who's going 354 00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:09,880 Speaker 2: to be twenty nine when they're when they're still rebuilding. 355 00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:12,359 Speaker 2: Last year he had ten and a half sacks. That 356 00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:15,639 Speaker 2: was his most since twenty and nineteen, and I'm he 357 00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:18,360 Speaker 2: started every game. That's the first time he started every 358 00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:21,280 Speaker 2: game since twenty and nineteen. You know, I thought the 359 00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:25,000 Speaker 2: Bills made a great move this week when they signed 360 00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:27,640 Speaker 2: Leonard uh what's his last name? 361 00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:28,240 Speaker 1: They signed? 362 00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:31,119 Speaker 2: Yeah, he's had nine and a half sacks each of 363 00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:34,919 Speaker 2: the last three seasons and he and he started seventeen games. 364 00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:37,080 Speaker 2: But if you get to Neil Hunter, you're getting him 365 00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:39,119 Speaker 2: to come in here and start. So you would have 366 00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:43,000 Speaker 2: Hunter and Anderson as your starters and using Grenard as 367 00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:47,119 Speaker 2: your backups, and that would be a pretty formidable group. 368 00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:50,960 Speaker 2: But I'm guessing he's not gonna come cheap and it's 369 00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:53,480 Speaker 2: going to cost It's going to cost the team some money. 370 00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:58,600 Speaker 1: General. Two huge sports stories broke this week that did 371 00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:02,040 Speaker 1: not involve the NFL, but they're so big that they 372 00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:06,080 Speaker 1: just involve all sports. Messi going to FLS, which is 373 00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:08,879 Speaker 1: like Pelai going to the New York Cosmos back in 374 00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:12,359 Speaker 1: the day, and what was that the NASL and also 375 00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:17,119 Speaker 1: Live Golf and the PGA. Merging thoughts on those two, I. 376 00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:20,640 Speaker 2: Thought it was interesting that they got two major companies. Adida, 377 00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:23,800 Speaker 2: so who Messi's been with since he was a kid. 378 00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:26,960 Speaker 2: And then I guess Apple. They're going to contribute to 379 00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:31,200 Speaker 2: the money, and where he goes, he will sell out stadiums. 380 00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:33,640 Speaker 2: I know when they came here at NRG, I went 381 00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:37,080 Speaker 2: to watch him play an exhibition because I'm mesmerized. I 382 00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:39,720 Speaker 2: watch every match in the World Cup and I watched 383 00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:42,840 Speaker 2: all of his I'll certainly be there. As far as 384 00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:45,320 Speaker 2: the live golf, I'll say this, it's going to put 385 00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:48,080 Speaker 2: all the golfers back together, and that's for better golf. 386 00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:50,360 Speaker 2: It's going to give a lot more money to charities, 387 00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:53,120 Speaker 2: which I have not seen mentioned anywhere, and I've read 388 00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:56,679 Speaker 2: everything I can get my hands on. And because every 389 00:18:56,920 --> 00:19:01,000 Speaker 2: tournament in the PGA donates a certain money to charity. 390 00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:05,359 Speaker 2: So since the Sawties have basically bought the PGA tour 391 00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:08,040 Speaker 2: and they say billions are going to be pumped in 392 00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:10,679 Speaker 2: with those, charities are going to benefit a lot. So 393 00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:14,720 Speaker 2: will the golfers. And I'm not exactly sure. There's so 394 00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:17,880 Speaker 2: many companies that we deal with around the world who 395 00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:21,600 Speaker 2: have human rights violations and we coddle up to and 396 00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:25,040 Speaker 2: use and buy their oil. And in China, you know, 397 00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:28,440 Speaker 2: we do all kinds of business in China. I understand 398 00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:30,879 Speaker 2: about nine to eleven the loser. And all this is 399 00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:33,960 Speaker 2: Jay Monahan's because a year ago he was invoking nine 400 00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:36,840 Speaker 2: to eleven. He was coming up with every negative thing 401 00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:38,920 Speaker 2: he could and now he's been bought and paid for. 402 00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:41,800 Speaker 2: And the golfers are upset, and I feel bad for 403 00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:45,639 Speaker 2: Tiger Woods turned down five hundred million, y Roy turned 404 00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:48,600 Speaker 2: down three hundred million. They didn't take that blood money 405 00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:50,800 Speaker 2: like some of the others. They got to find a 406 00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:54,600 Speaker 2: way to compensate them for what they gave up to 407 00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:56,680 Speaker 2: be loyal to the PGA Tour. 408 00:19:57,040 --> 00:20:00,480 Speaker 4: General along those all right, do you think, how, hey, 409 00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:03,479 Speaker 4: do you think it could ever happen that a Saudi 410 00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:05,280 Speaker 4: group would own an NFL team? 411 00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:07,440 Speaker 3: And if so, Holly, I think it would take you 412 00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:08,200 Speaker 3: where could happen? 413 00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:12,000 Speaker 2: The NFL has a rule against foreign investment. But if 414 00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:15,119 Speaker 2: the if the and we all know all the owners 415 00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:17,400 Speaker 2: are going broke and they need as much money as 416 00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:21,080 Speaker 2: they can. So if the if the Commanders went for 417 00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:25,359 Speaker 2: six point h five billion, what if the Saudis and 418 00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:28,320 Speaker 2: the guy that is the chairman of the of the deal, 419 00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:31,359 Speaker 2: he's the guy that bought Newcastle and did a great 420 00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:34,520 Speaker 2: job at Newcastle's great He spent a fortune to bring 421 00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:37,800 Speaker 2: in players for Newcastle, and every fan loves an owner 422 00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:40,520 Speaker 2: who spends a fortune to take care of players. And 423 00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:43,600 Speaker 2: so he's a golf fanatic, looks like a very smart guy, 424 00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:48,440 Speaker 2: and he's running all of this fund that the Crown princess. 425 00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:51,240 Speaker 2: So if he said, oh, you know what, that one 426 00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:54,400 Speaker 2: went for six point oh five, could you change your rules? 427 00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:56,919 Speaker 2: If I wrote you a check for fifty billion for 428 00:20:56,960 --> 00:21:00,760 Speaker 2: a team, you think they wouldn't change that rule? Of 429 00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:03,359 Speaker 2: course they would. It's just a matter of how much 430 00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:06,280 Speaker 2: does Saudis want to get involved in that, and and 431 00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:09,440 Speaker 2: it is they're trying to use sports to offset some 432 00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:12,240 Speaker 2: of all the things that they've done that people hold 433 00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:15,280 Speaker 2: against them. And if you have a seven hundred billion 434 00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:19,160 Speaker 2: dollar fund that you can just throw money around like crazy, 435 00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:22,880 Speaker 2: I'm guessing that. I'm guessing it's going to happen at 436 00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:26,200 Speaker 2: some point because things have gone really well with their 437 00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:28,520 Speaker 2: plan for live golf. It looked like they were going 438 00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:31,960 Speaker 2: to go out of business. But I saw one story 439 00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:34,639 Speaker 2: said they think the PGA didn't want the books exposed 440 00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:37,600 Speaker 2: in a lawsuit because they're in trouble. We don't know that. 441 00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:40,200 Speaker 2: We're never going to know that for sure, but it's 442 00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:43,800 Speaker 2: amazing the way it happened, not the negotiations overnight, but 443 00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:46,200 Speaker 2: the way they kept it from Greg Norman, the way 444 00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:49,399 Speaker 2: they kept it from Roy McElroy and Tiger Woods, and 445 00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:52,199 Speaker 2: it was almost like two guys did the deal in 446 00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:52,920 Speaker 2: a back roun. 447 00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:55,679 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's crazy. And I did read a couple of 448 00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:57,280 Speaker 1: things about that as well that a lot of it 449 00:21:57,320 --> 00:21:59,920 Speaker 1: had to do with getting rid of the litigation invol 450 00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:02,040 Speaker 1: but we don't have to talk about that right now. 451 00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:03,520 Speaker 1: In general? What do you have going on on Sports 452 00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:05,240 Speaker 1: Radio six ten dot com and beyond? 453 00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:08,399 Speaker 2: I have a column that's be out in the morning 454 00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:12,680 Speaker 2: about Derrek Stingley and Jalen Petrie and what's expected and 455 00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:16,040 Speaker 2: then this year and Dimiko not having any player drafted 456 00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:19,480 Speaker 2: above the third round and his secondary other Jimmy Ward 457 00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:22,160 Speaker 2: is now a mentor for them. And then I've got 458 00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:26,240 Speaker 2: one up right now about Damian Pierce in his season 459 00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:29,439 Speaker 2: with Devin Singletary so and one earlier in the week 460 00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:32,399 Speaker 2: that's up there, And of course are you Dopia Football 461 00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:35,359 Speaker 2: podcast I do twice a week with Sean Pender guest. 462 00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:38,320 Speaker 2: They're posting on sports Radio six ten dot com, which 463 00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:39,480 Speaker 2: is free, free, free. 464 00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:42,920 Speaker 1: Well, thank you guys, thanks a lot, general, We appreciate it, 465 00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:45,960 Speaker 1: all right. John McClain joining us on a Thursday here 466 00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:50,600 Speaker 1: on Texans Radio. Coming up Who's Better? We have NFL 467 00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:54,639 Speaker 1: roster stuff, quarterback stuff as always, maybe other sports stuff. 468 00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:56,639 Speaker 1: You never know what's going to happen. It's Who's better 469 00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:58,159 Speaker 1: next here on Texans Radio. 470 00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:04,080 Speaker 5: Chickson's Radio continues in a moment back to the show 471 00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:07,560 Speaker 5: they teach you plugged in with the Houston Texans. 472 00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:10,200 Speaker 1: All right, we have a lot to do before the 473 00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:13,080 Speaker 1: close of business here tonight, Mark vandermir and John Harris. 474 00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:19,320 Speaker 1: Let's get into who's better now, Johnny better roster? What's 475 00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:23,320 Speaker 1: the better roster? So what's better Carolina or the Texans? 476 00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:26,080 Speaker 1: Texans will be at Carolina. I bring this up because 477 00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:31,040 Speaker 1: Bryce Young, who got I guess first team reps when 478 00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:33,960 Speaker 1: they started OTAs, and I know Andy Dalton's been getting 479 00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:36,879 Speaker 1: some action. That's it, right, Andy Dalton has been getting 480 00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:38,920 Speaker 1: some action with the ones and then Bryce Young back 481 00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:40,760 Speaker 1: with the ones. So they're making a big deal about 482 00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:45,400 Speaker 1: ones or two's in OTA's in midicamp. But the rosters, 483 00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:48,320 Speaker 1: let's talk about that. Carolina had to move up. They 484 00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:51,959 Speaker 1: lost DJ Moore to get the number one overall selection 485 00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:54,399 Speaker 1: to take young. These two teams will hook up in 486 00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:57,720 Speaker 1: Charlotte this year. Better roster Texans or Carolina. 487 00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:01,280 Speaker 3: Okay, offensively, real fast, I think Caroline. 488 00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:05,119 Speaker 4: I think golfensive lines of push tight ends, Texans wide receivers, 489 00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:08,240 Speaker 4: Panthers quarterbacks, push running backs. 490 00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:11,200 Speaker 3: I'm gonna give the slight edge to Texans. 491 00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:15,479 Speaker 4: So, I mean, I think overall offensively it's really really close. 492 00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:19,399 Speaker 4: It's I mean it's like fifty two forty eight, fifty 493 00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:22,080 Speaker 4: one forty nine. But I give the edge a little 494 00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:26,960 Speaker 4: bit to the Texans there. Defensively, man, they have two 495 00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:31,679 Speaker 4: superstars up front, and Brian Burns and Derek Brown, and 496 00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:34,119 Speaker 4: that probably gives him a little bit of the edge there. 497 00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:37,080 Speaker 4: I think linebackers, you know, shak Thompson's been there forever. 498 00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:40,840 Speaker 4: I think their secondary is okay, I don't think it's 499 00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:43,800 Speaker 4: I don't think it's great. Jeremy Chin is excellent now 500 00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:46,200 Speaker 4: how much he plays linebacker for so much safety, He's 501 00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:49,040 Speaker 4: kind of a he's kind of a true hybrid. I 502 00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:51,560 Speaker 4: think the Texans secondary is better, but I would give 503 00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:54,639 Speaker 4: the defensive edge just because they have Brian Burns, uh 504 00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:55,879 Speaker 4: and they've got Derek Brown. 505 00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:59,920 Speaker 3: So it's a lot closer than you would think. 506 00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:03,960 Speaker 4: I think the biggest discrepancy is probably wide receiver. Even 507 00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:06,320 Speaker 4: though DJ Moore is gone, they do have Adam Thielen, 508 00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:09,920 Speaker 4: do have Terris Marshall, and those two guys I think 509 00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:12,000 Speaker 4: together could be could be very good. I still think 510 00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:14,600 Speaker 4: Adam Thielen's got some ball left in him. 511 00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:17,840 Speaker 3: But I think the Texans secondary overall. Yeah, j C. 512 00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:21,760 Speaker 3: Horn who got hurt? Who has been hurt? You know, 513 00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:22,119 Speaker 3: that's it. 514 00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:24,399 Speaker 4: That's a That's the thing that he has dealt with 515 00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:26,200 Speaker 4: a lot, is the injuries. I mean, he got hurt 516 00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:28,240 Speaker 4: against US as a rookie in twenty twenty one. 517 00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:29,760 Speaker 3: He got hurt just the other day. 518 00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:32,960 Speaker 4: If he's done in that lineup, I don't trust Dante Jackson. 519 00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:35,679 Speaker 4: I don't love the safeties other than Chin, and it 520 00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:37,199 Speaker 4: depends whether he's played safety or not. 521 00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:39,280 Speaker 3: So I think it's really close. 522 00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:42,199 Speaker 4: I'm gonna get the edge of the Texans because you 523 00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:44,719 Speaker 4: and I love the Texans and we both work for them. 524 00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:49,960 Speaker 4: So I'm going Texans narrowly, narrowly showing. 525 00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:52,919 Speaker 1: My bi all right, Well, that's that's fair. Look, I 526 00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:55,640 Speaker 1: think the Texans running backs, when you talk about Damian 527 00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:57,240 Speaker 1: Pearce and Devin Singletary. 528 00:25:57,880 --> 00:25:58,720 Speaker 3: I mean, looking at. 529 00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:02,159 Speaker 1: That objectively, that is strong stuff in your backfield, and 530 00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:03,800 Speaker 1: we don't know what the other guys are gonna do yet. 531 00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:06,119 Speaker 1: I like that an awful lot. So let's see what happens, 532 00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:10,080 Speaker 1: all right, Who's better better chance at a rebound year, 533 00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:14,760 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray or Russell Wilson. Murray or Wilson for a 534 00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:17,240 Speaker 1: rebound year Wilson as Sean Payton coaching him now, but 535 00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:20,480 Speaker 1: he looked really not so hot, and I'm being polite 536 00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:25,160 Speaker 1: last year, and Kyler Murray hurt. But when he's in there, 537 00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:28,399 Speaker 1: he can make some plays. I don't call it regression 538 00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:31,760 Speaker 1: as much as just not being available. But your thoughts, 539 00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:32,800 Speaker 1: I think two. 540 00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:36,879 Speaker 4: Things work in Russell Wilson's favor. Number one, Sean Payton. 541 00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:43,520 Speaker 4: Number two. He's no longer fat. Apparently that was not 542 00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:45,800 Speaker 4: I mean the thing about it. It was so interesting 543 00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:47,920 Speaker 4: last year that game, Mark, you and I talked about 544 00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:50,440 Speaker 4: it with Dre throughout the game. The fact that okay, 545 00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:53,920 Speaker 4: well he'll turn into Russell sooner or later, right he will? 546 00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:56,960 Speaker 3: Right now? He made that one throw. To see he 547 00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:58,400 Speaker 3: made one throw. That was it. 548 00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:00,600 Speaker 4: He made the one throw, but I kept waiting for 549 00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:02,480 Speaker 4: him to turn into Superman in some sense, you know, 550 00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:04,960 Speaker 4: the Superman that was in Seattle. But then you think 551 00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:08,679 Speaker 4: back to the end of twenty twenty one and you realize, man, okay, 552 00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:10,520 Speaker 4: maybe there's a reason that Seattle did trade him. 553 00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:11,480 Speaker 3: Maybe they were with some. 554 00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:13,600 Speaker 4: Things they didn't like. And I thought, now, you know, 555 00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:15,920 Speaker 4: he'll work out of it. Okay, even against us, he'll 556 00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:18,240 Speaker 4: work out of it. He didn't. They're like, Okay, well, 557 00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:20,720 Speaker 4: next week nope, the week after that, nope. It just 558 00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:23,840 Speaker 4: never came together. So I'm gonna give Russell the edge 559 00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:25,679 Speaker 4: because he's got his body in shape. 560 00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:27,159 Speaker 3: Then he's got Sean Payton. 561 00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:29,879 Speaker 4: I think it remains to be seen a when Kyler 562 00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:34,080 Speaker 4: Murray can come back and b what kind of offense 563 00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:35,679 Speaker 4: this is without Cliff. 564 00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:36,680 Speaker 3: Kingsbury calling the plays. 565 00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:41,440 Speaker 4: So it's more to me about the hesitation of those 566 00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:43,879 Speaker 4: two things for Kyler Murray versus Oh. 567 00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:45,720 Speaker 3: I think Russell Wilson's gonna bloat out of the water. 568 00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:48,959 Speaker 4: I do think that Russell's gonna have to learn how 569 00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:51,679 Speaker 4: to play without that mobility. But I think Sean Payton, 570 00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:53,879 Speaker 4: if it's gonna happen, I think it's gonna happen with 571 00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:56,040 Speaker 4: Sean Payton leading him. I think that was the right 572 00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:58,439 Speaker 4: thing for Denver to have done. So we'll see how 573 00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:01,800 Speaker 4: that goes. And you know what, Denver needs it because 574 00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:05,480 Speaker 4: if Russell Wilson fails this year, if you will, you know, 575 00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:07,320 Speaker 4: Champagne's not gonna want that to happen. 576 00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:09,159 Speaker 3: You know he's not going another year with that. I 577 00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:10,359 Speaker 3: don't think the Broncos will. 578 00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:14,680 Speaker 4: Holy cow, does that crush their cap for the next 579 00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:18,320 Speaker 4: couple of years, if not more. They need Russell Wilson. 580 00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:21,879 Speaker 4: So I'll make that the third thing. The Broncos have 581 00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:25,000 Speaker 4: to have Russell Wilson. So from that perspective, I'm gonna 582 00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:25,800 Speaker 4: go Russell Wilson. 583 00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:33,119 Speaker 1: Okay, who's better continues, better chance of happening. How about 584 00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:37,800 Speaker 1: this one, Bill Belichick breaking Don Shula's record. He needs 585 00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:41,200 Speaker 1: nineteen wins to do it combined playoff and regular season wins. 586 00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:44,080 Speaker 1: He needs nineteen to get it done to pass him 587 00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:49,360 Speaker 1: eighteen to tie Aaron Rodgers. Is my next fella here? 588 00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:54,160 Speaker 1: Better chance Belichick beating Shula or Aaron Rodgers getting to 589 00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:58,160 Speaker 1: seventy thousand yards, which would put him right behind Brett 590 00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:01,160 Speaker 1: Favre and in fifth place all time time. Rogers needs 591 00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:06,280 Speaker 1: eleven thousand yards to get there. Belichick needs nineteen wins. 592 00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:09,959 Speaker 1: So for Rogers, you'd have to say that's two plus seasons. 593 00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:13,320 Speaker 1: For Belichick, it might be two plus seasons. There's no 594 00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:16,000 Speaker 1: guarantee you could win ten games and then nine games 595 00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:19,840 Speaker 1: the following year in that division with whatever talent. They 596 00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:21,840 Speaker 1: don't have your thoughts. 597 00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:26,160 Speaker 4: I think Belichick, I think nineteen wins are the next 598 00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:28,400 Speaker 4: couple of years. I mean, I think they can, they 599 00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:31,560 Speaker 4: can gut it out, but that would be what ten 600 00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:34,400 Speaker 4: one year, nine to the next. I mean, I mean, 601 00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:38,040 Speaker 4: lucky for their sake, there are seventeen games, and you know, 602 00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:39,880 Speaker 4: if one of those years he wins ten, they get 603 00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:41,960 Speaker 4: to the playoffs, so they got a shot at another one. 604 00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:44,800 Speaker 4: I just think eleven thousand yards. I think two years 605 00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:50,120 Speaker 4: max for Zaba in New Jersey. So I I don't 606 00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:52,760 Speaker 4: think he's thrown by fifty five hundred and two years. 607 00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:55,720 Speaker 4: You know, even if you have three years, you know 608 00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:57,880 Speaker 4: that's you know, four thousand a year. 609 00:29:58,160 --> 00:29:59,800 Speaker 3: I just don't think he's playing three years. I think 610 00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:01,080 Speaker 3: he's got two years in New York. 611 00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:03,280 Speaker 4: I think that's kind of the way and why the 612 00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:05,400 Speaker 4: deal was structured as it was, you know, kind of 613 00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:06,480 Speaker 4: thinking of two years. 614 00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:10,080 Speaker 3: So I'm gonna go with with Belichick. 615 00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:13,480 Speaker 4: I think Belichick gets there because could I see Belichick 616 00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:14,680 Speaker 4: coaching three more years? 617 00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:17,080 Speaker 3: You know, this year and two others? Yeah, could I. 618 00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:20,800 Speaker 4: See Aaron Rodgers playing three years? No, that's just my hunt. 619 00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:24,600 Speaker 4: So I'm gonna go with Belichick on that one. And 620 00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:27,560 Speaker 4: it's funny when you said Aaron Rodgers, I thought about 621 00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:30,760 Speaker 4: I was. I told you this video had come out. 622 00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:34,680 Speaker 4: It was a documentary about that they ran. It's about 623 00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:36,880 Speaker 4: four minutes all the rookies that went to the Rookie 624 00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:40,160 Speaker 4: Premiere out in LA and they surprised each one of 625 00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:44,040 Speaker 4: those rookies with a video from a player that they 626 00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:48,240 Speaker 4: grew up idolizing. And Rogers was was one of those 627 00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:52,440 Speaker 4: guys a couple of times. And Sean Clifford was one 628 00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:55,560 Speaker 4: of the guys that went out to that opening and 629 00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:58,400 Speaker 4: Aaron Rodgers popped up as his guy and started talking 630 00:30:58,440 --> 00:30:58,680 Speaker 4: to him. 631 00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:00,680 Speaker 3: He said, hey man, how's my locker? 632 00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:02,920 Speaker 4: And I just it was just so funny the way 633 00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:05,680 Speaker 4: he said it, because Clifford is now a packer, He's like, 634 00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:07,720 Speaker 4: hey man, how's my locker? He goes, oh no, on 635 00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:09,360 Speaker 4: all seriousness, and then he went on to say some 636 00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:11,480 Speaker 4: you know, some good things, and how honored he was 637 00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:14,200 Speaker 4: that Sean Clifford liked him. But I don't know, Rogers 638 00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:15,800 Speaker 4: going to New York may end up being a good thing. 639 00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:18,080 Speaker 4: I just don't think it goes beyond two years. 640 00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:24,040 Speaker 1: All right, along those lines, who's better better move for 641 00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:29,560 Speaker 1: a league? The PGA allowing live to buy them or 642 00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:35,000 Speaker 1: MLS landing messy better move for which one who has 643 00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:36,200 Speaker 1: got it so. 644 00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:43,120 Speaker 4: Into Miami in twenty four hours went from being sleepy 645 00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:49,800 Speaker 4: little MLS team to the most followed sports team in 646 00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:55,800 Speaker 4: or I'm sorry, more followers than any sports team in NHL, NBA, 647 00:31:56,280 --> 00:32:02,800 Speaker 4: NFL and whatever other sports league over night with Leo 648 00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:07,520 Speaker 4: Messi going down to Miami over night. That's the impact 649 00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:12,920 Speaker 4: of Messi on Miami and uh in the MLS. This 650 00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:16,360 Speaker 4: PGA lifting I saw. I saw a tweet today that 651 00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:19,080 Speaker 4: it was interesting and I didn't follow the whole thread, 652 00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:21,960 Speaker 4: but there was somebody pointing out that there could be 653 00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:25,840 Speaker 4: some lawsuits involved in this whole thing, to keep an 654 00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:27,760 Speaker 4: eye on that and make its legal. So I think 655 00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:32,760 Speaker 4: that gets messy. M me ss Y, Emmy SSI going 656 00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:36,680 Speaker 4: to MLS. I think you mentioned it earlier talking about 657 00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:40,800 Speaker 4: Play going to the NASL and going to the Cosmos. 658 00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:46,640 Speaker 4: That was incredible. Now, yeah, they were unable to over 659 00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:49,520 Speaker 4: the over the years, significant number of years to kind 660 00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:52,280 Speaker 4: of keep that going and keep that momentum going. I 661 00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:55,000 Speaker 4: think soccer in America has had and has gotten a 662 00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:59,280 Speaker 4: lot more momentum. And there are so many more people 663 00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:02,080 Speaker 4: in the United States that no Messy then probably knew 664 00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:05,640 Speaker 4: Pele Play was probably just wait, what, we know, he's big. 665 00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:08,320 Speaker 4: But but there are people that know Messi. They've seen 666 00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:12,920 Speaker 4: him in World Cups, they've watched him over overseas at 667 00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:16,160 Speaker 4: Barcelona and seen him as a you know, club player, 668 00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:18,440 Speaker 4: and now they're going to see him in MLS. You know, 669 00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:21,240 Speaker 4: Apple TV is probably gonna, you know, reap some rewards 670 00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:25,120 Speaker 4: from this, So I'm really really curious how that goes 671 00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:25,800 Speaker 4: to MLS. 672 00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:29,360 Speaker 3: But I think it's been a huge, huge boon for 673 00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:30,480 Speaker 3: the for the MLS. 674 00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:35,080 Speaker 4: I think the PGA lift thing, it's talked about, but 675 00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:38,360 Speaker 4: there just seems like there's so much consternation in that 676 00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:40,640 Speaker 4: whole move. With the Messy thing, it's just a full 677 00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:43,960 Speaker 4: on celebration and I think that wins out. 678 00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:46,640 Speaker 1: It's funny because I was a kid in New York 679 00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:51,080 Speaker 1: when Play went to the Cosmos and it was gigantic. Yes, 680 00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:56,360 Speaker 1: but back then even the World Cup wasn't on TV, right. 681 00:33:56,600 --> 00:33:59,040 Speaker 1: I told the story before, and what was it the 682 00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:02,240 Speaker 1: seventy two? I think my mom took me and my 683 00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:05,080 Speaker 1: brother to Madison Square Garden to watch it on closed 684 00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:07,960 Speaker 1: circuit TV on the big screen. So you had to 685 00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:10,040 Speaker 1: go to Madison. You had to go to an arena. 686 00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:12,280 Speaker 1: I'm sure they did it here too. It's Sam Houston 687 00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:15,480 Speaker 1: or whatever. It was available, and you'd go to an 688 00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:18,399 Speaker 1: arena and watch it on a huge screen. That's how 689 00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:21,120 Speaker 1: you watch the World Cup. You would think ABC was wide, 690 00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:23,560 Speaker 1: World of Sports would have had it, but Play was 691 00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:26,800 Speaker 1: still huge even though it was difficult to watch him play. 692 00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:29,640 Speaker 1: Your point about being able to see Messi play is 693 00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:35,000 Speaker 1: another great point because you can get whatever service you 694 00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:36,800 Speaker 1: need to get to watch him do his thing on 695 00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:39,440 Speaker 1: an international basis. And everyone saw that World Cup. We 696 00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:41,399 Speaker 1: were watching it in the broadcast booth before we went 697 00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:43,120 Speaker 1: on the air that day because it was right before 698 00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:45,960 Speaker 1: a Texans game. All right, coming up, thank you, Johnny 699 00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:48,799 Speaker 1: for who's better? Coming up? Things? We want to see 700 00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:52,920 Speaker 1: at Mini camp because after Mini Camp it's bye bye 701 00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:56,320 Speaker 1: for six weeks to the players until training camp begins 702 00:34:56,600 --> 00:35:00,000 Speaker 1: and other stuff going on around the National Football League. 703 00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:01,320 Speaker 1: It's Texans Radio. 704 00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:05,239 Speaker 5: Stay tuned for more on the Houston Texans and the 705 00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:11,360 Speaker 5: NFL on Texans All Access. We returned to Texans All Access. 706 00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:13,600 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, we do. 707 00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:15,759 Speaker 1: We have Nick KOs Sari on the show tomorrow, looking 708 00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:18,040 Speaker 1: forward to that visit with the general manager prior to 709 00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:20,400 Speaker 1: Mini Camp and the big break, and we'll talk to 710 00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:24,479 Speaker 1: him about summer plans for the players himself, roster, all 711 00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:27,200 Speaker 1: of it with Nick Cassario tomorrow. Right out of the 712 00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:31,800 Speaker 1: shoot at six pm, Johnny Tyreek Hill wants to break 713 00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:35,799 Speaker 1: the single season receiving yards record that was set by 714 00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:40,759 Speaker 1: Calvin Johnson in twenty twelve. I bring this up for 715 00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:43,480 Speaker 1: a variety of things. Twenty twelve was the year the 716 00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:45,959 Speaker 1: Texans played the Lions on Thanksgiving. I know they played 717 00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:48,520 Speaker 1: them in twenty twenty as well, but twenty twelve visiting 718 00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:53,200 Speaker 1: the Lions Thanksgiving, that was the year Johnson Megatron set 719 00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:57,680 Speaker 1: the record nineteen hundred and sixty four yards sixteen game schedule, 720 00:35:57,960 --> 00:36:01,680 Speaker 1: but on that day, Andre john and Ow did Megatron, 721 00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:03,840 Speaker 1: and I'll never forget that. And I love that that 722 00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:07,080 Speaker 1: every time Dray was on the field with Calvin Johnson 723 00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:12,560 Speaker 1: or Larry Fitzgerald, he would outperform those players statistically, and 724 00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:14,520 Speaker 1: there's something about that I like. I know it's not 725 00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:17,040 Speaker 1: about that. I know it's not supposed to be that 726 00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:19,440 Speaker 1: kind of game, but I do enjoy that. But thoughts 727 00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:22,880 Speaker 1: on Hill, who wants to do it? It's interesting because 728 00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:26,040 Speaker 1: no longer in Kansas City, are you gonna win a ring? 729 00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:28,359 Speaker 1: In Miami? Are you getting bored? I don't think he's 730 00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:31,560 Speaker 1: getting bored, but there are a couple of fascinating things here. 731 00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:34,840 Speaker 1: He was so awesome last year, averaging slightly over one 732 00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:38,239 Speaker 1: hundred receiving yards per game, and the Chiefs are still 733 00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:40,880 Speaker 1: awesome without him, which just shows that they are the 734 00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:43,200 Speaker 1: new Patriots. To me, I think it's. 735 00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:44,320 Speaker 3: Reasonable that he get that number. 736 00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:46,040 Speaker 1: I do. 737 00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:49,480 Speaker 4: If I could do math real quick, let's just say 738 00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:52,240 Speaker 4: two thousand. Could he get the two thousand about seventeen games? 739 00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:55,960 Speaker 4: It's one hundred and eighteen yards per game for seventeen weeks. 740 00:36:56,760 --> 00:36:58,880 Speaker 4: That's a salty number to get the two thousand, which 741 00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:00,960 Speaker 4: is about you know what he would need I think 742 00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:03,879 Speaker 4: it's over nineteen hundred. Whatever the case might be, he's 743 00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:06,560 Speaker 4: gonna have a couple of those games. Luckily, the Texans 744 00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:09,040 Speaker 4: don't play him this year, and he's gonna have a 745 00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:11,160 Speaker 4: couple of those games, or he goes to twenty, he 746 00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:13,719 Speaker 4: goes you know, two fifty, and he's probably gonna have 747 00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:16,160 Speaker 4: a few where he gets only you know, forty eight. 748 00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:20,600 Speaker 3: But I think Miami is going to find and create 749 00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:21,640 Speaker 3: ways to get him the ball. 750 00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:23,319 Speaker 4: I think in the second year with Mike McDonnell, he's 751 00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:25,840 Speaker 4: gonna find more and more ways. Now, I don't know 752 00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:28,719 Speaker 4: if that's the best thing for the team, because if 753 00:37:28,719 --> 00:37:33,360 Speaker 4: he's getting nineteen hundred plus yards, then what about Jaylen Waddle? 754 00:37:34,120 --> 00:37:35,320 Speaker 3: What about the running back situation? 755 00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:37,400 Speaker 4: What if Dalvin Cook goes to the Miami Dolphins to 756 00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:41,080 Speaker 4: add to devon Ah Chain and Jeff Wilson, Moster, et cetera. 757 00:37:41,880 --> 00:37:45,000 Speaker 4: I don't know that you want Tyreek Hill to get 758 00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:48,520 Speaker 4: to nineteen hundred plus yards. If you're a Miami fan, 759 00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:52,280 Speaker 4: I think you want this to be a balanced offense 760 00:37:52,320 --> 00:37:55,240 Speaker 4: because that offense balance could put a lot of pressure 761 00:37:55,320 --> 00:37:56,400 Speaker 4: on a lot of defenses. 762 00:37:56,440 --> 00:37:57,120 Speaker 3: But if it's. 763 00:37:56,960 --> 00:38:01,640 Speaker 4: Tyreek centric and you're then mid the impact of Jalen Waddle. 764 00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:05,239 Speaker 4: You're minimizing the impact of that running game. I think 765 00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:07,719 Speaker 4: that could end up working against Miami. So if I'm 766 00:38:07,719 --> 00:38:11,000 Speaker 4: a Miami Dolphins fan, I'm like Tyree, look, man, just 767 00:38:11,239 --> 00:38:12,840 Speaker 4: thirteen hundred, fourteen hundred yards. 768 00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:14,000 Speaker 3: But let's spread the wealthier. 769 00:38:14,080 --> 00:38:16,640 Speaker 4: Let's get everybody involved and really make this offense dangerous 770 00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:19,839 Speaker 4: because if that happens, then you get to the playoffs. 771 00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:22,400 Speaker 4: Then you can have one hundred and sixty hundred and 772 00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:24,800 Speaker 4: seventy yard games like Larry Fitzgerald did in two thousand 773 00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:28,240 Speaker 4: and eight and really blow it up at that point. 774 00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:31,160 Speaker 4: So you know, I, like I said f on Dolphins fan, 775 00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:33,120 Speaker 4: I don't want that. I want that offense to be 776 00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:35,839 Speaker 4: spread out amongst all those weapons they've got. 777 00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:40,319 Speaker 1: Yeah, and Tua is apparently working with a helmet specifically 778 00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:43,120 Speaker 1: designed for quarterbacks trying to reduce concussions. We'll see how 779 00:38:43,120 --> 00:38:45,360 Speaker 1: that goes for him. It's gonna be great work for 780 00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:48,080 Speaker 1: the Texans to have the Dolphins here at NRG Park 781 00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:52,040 Speaker 1: for joint practices. Then the game, man, that's gonna be fun. 782 00:38:52,080 --> 00:38:55,040 Speaker 1: That's gonna be must see training camp stuff to see 783 00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:57,879 Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill out there and how the secondary handles him. 784 00:38:58,200 --> 00:39:01,600 Speaker 1: Can't wait for that. And I was thinking, Johnny, what 785 00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:05,080 Speaker 1: would the audio version be of the Texans post today 786 00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:08,239 Speaker 1: which is also on Houston Texans dot com. Of the 787 00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:13,120 Speaker 1: image of the player and the date June twelfth, twoenty 788 00:39:13,320 --> 00:39:15,600 Speaker 1: twenty three. That's all I got. That's all I could 789 00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:17,000 Speaker 1: really do with that. I mean, I guess I could 790 00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:21,080 Speaker 1: have some crowd noise and maybe like a you know, soundtrack, 791 00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:23,840 Speaker 1: but that's it. That's all it was. It's a post 792 00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:25,760 Speaker 1: and we'll see where it goes. We'll see what happens 793 00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:28,040 Speaker 1: on June twelfth, which would be Monday. 794 00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:33,440 Speaker 4: Ooh yeah, that post has me curious, and I had 795 00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:35,759 Speaker 4: a lot of people care it was.
