1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,400
Speaker 1: What's up everybody? Walking through to Wednesday edition of Texans

2
00:00:02,480 --> 00:00:06,400
Speaker 1: All Access. Sean Harris, your host, alongside the Voice of

3
00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:08,879
Speaker 1: the Texans, Mark Vandermer. We'll get into in the Lab

4
00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:11,040
Speaker 1: with Drew Doherty a little bit later as we recap

5
00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:12,760
Speaker 1: the draft, so that'd be later in the show. Will

6
00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:15,120
Speaker 1: go around in the league. Things are happening in the NFL.

7
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:17,880
Speaker 1: But Mark, we talk about this a lot with the NFL.

8
00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:22,640
Speaker 1: The NFL does a really nice job of staging and

9
00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:26,880
Speaker 1: spreading out its big events. Yeah, super Bowl in February,

10
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:32,239
Speaker 1: combine March, the Pro Days don't take place all in there,

11
00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:34,040
Speaker 1: and at the end of April you've got the Draft.

12
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:38,880
Speaker 1: A couple weeks after the draft comes the most important

13
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:44,840
Speaker 1: night of the entire year as it pertains to everyone's

14
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:48,479
Speaker 1: travel plans, and it is the schedule release. Okay, So

15
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:51,559
Speaker 1: I wanted to start thinking about the schedule because that

16
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 1: is upcoming. Thought this would be a good night to

17
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 1: do it. So what I've done is I've I've written

18
00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:02,639
Speaker 1: down home games in games, okay, and I'm gonna ask

19
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:09,120
Speaker 1: you four questions about that particular game. Okay, Okay, good,

20
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:14,399
Speaker 1: four questions as it pertains to that particular team and game. Okay,

21
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:19,559
Speaker 1: I'm ready. Level of excitement? Should it be a primetime game?

22
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 1: Kind of offshoot that is, do you want it to

23
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:25,319
Speaker 1: be a primetime game? When would you want to play

24
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:25,839
Speaker 1: that game?

25
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:29,679
Speaker 2: Oh? Because that's important, that's very important. And then one

26
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:32,120
Speaker 2: thing about that particular.

27
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:36,120
Speaker 1: Game that's intriguing, Okay, that maybe maybe we're not talking

28
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:40,399
Speaker 1: about or just hey, it's dis simple as this versus this,

29
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:44,640
Speaker 1: it's seeing this, it's this guy, it's this rookie, whatever

30
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 1: it might be. Okay, Okay, So I'm gonna just there's

31
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 1: no certain order to this because we have no idea

32
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 1: what the schedule is going to be, all right, but

33
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 1: we are going to start the top on the road.

34
00:01:56,360 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 1: All right, The Kansas City Chiefs your level of excitement.

35
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 1: Let's rate it one to ten. Explain ten real, Come on.

36
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 3: It's the Chiefs, defending Super Bowl champions, two time defending

37
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 3: Super Bowl champions. You're at their place, You're going into

38
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 3: the den again. Yes, you did win there in twenty

39
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 3: nineteen regular season, but you lost in the postseason in

40
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 3: the worst way possible after being up twenty four to nothing.

41
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 3: And then the very next game you play is opening

42
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:25,639
Speaker 3: night of the twenty twenty season and lose again and

43
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 3: send all sorts of doubt running through the organization.

44
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:29,919
Speaker 2: I don't like them.

45
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 3: They're the new Patriots to me, meaning they're the hated,

46
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:35,920
Speaker 3: really good team out there, the premier franchise in the

47
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 3: league right now. So take them down opening night.

48
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:42,239
Speaker 2: I'm fired up. Okay, so excitement level, it's a ten.

49
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 4: Okay.

50
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 2: Question two or B? Should it be a primetime game? Yes? Absolutely, Okay,

51
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 2: that's right. I think that I think it will be. Okay,

52
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 2: when would you want to play this game?

53
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:54,240
Speaker 5: Now?

54
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:56,799
Speaker 1: The last time we went to Kansas City, well, you

55
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 1: talk about twenty twenty, we played the opening game, Yeah,

56
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen. Before that, we played them fifth or sixth week,

57
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 1: somewhere in there. It was a wonderful day and it

58
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:08,239
Speaker 1: ended up being a wonderful afternoon because you beat the

59
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:11,239
Speaker 1: Chiefs that day. When would you want to play this

60
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 1: game opening night?

61
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 2: Okay?

62
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 3: I think that it should be the opening night game

63
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,359
Speaker 3: to launch the twenty twenty four campaign for the entire

64
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 3: league on a Thursday night, and I think it's advantageous

65
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 3: to do it that way for the Texans, win or lose,

66
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 3: you have the mini by afterwards all right, So correct

67
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 3: the mistakes, win or lose. Correct the mistakes and get

68
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 3: ready for a Week two. And I have an idea

69
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 3: on Week two as well, but we don't have to

70
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:33,919
Speaker 3: get to.

71
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 2: That right now. Okay, one thing about this game that's intriguing.

72
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 1: You mentioned a few of them, obviously seeing the World champs,

73
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 1: et cetera. Anything else that you want to mention that

74
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 1: you may have left out.

75
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 3: I think that with this game, it's can the Texans

76
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 3: new pass rush get to Patrick Mahomes? Can you get

77
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 3: to him to force some off his launching point, make

78
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 3: him launch some bad throws, and.

79
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 2: Get yourself on the field and make some things happen. Okay,

80
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 2: very good?

81
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 5: All right.

82
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 1: Let's go to a team that made it to the

83
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 1: NFC Championship Game, did not win, but there's a lot

84
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 1: of excitement about this particular team. The Detroit Lions are

85
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 1: coming to n Archie Stadium sometime this fall or winter. A.

86
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:25,039
Speaker 1: Your level of excitement for the Detroit Lions coming to Houston.

87
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 3: Well, I want to balance or calibrate your one through

88
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 3: ten here by saying, in the darkest of seasons, in

89
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 3: Week twelve of a three win season, my level of

90
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 3: excitement for any game is at least an eighth, So

91
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:45,600
Speaker 3: maybe I'm not the best person to ask as far

92
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:47,919
Speaker 3: as the one through ten. I'm gonna have ten across

93
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:50,480
Speaker 3: the board here, but let's go with my personal Let's

94
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 3: just say eight through ten for normal people is my

95
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 3: one through ten. So i'd put this. It's Detroit, man,

96
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:58,360
Speaker 3: They're good and they're coming here. That's gonna be fun.

97
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 3: And I think it should be about an eight?

98
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:00,920
Speaker 5: Okay?

99
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 2: Should it be a primetime game? All right?

100
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 3: So here's the thing about the Texans schedule in all

101
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:11,039
Speaker 3: and I don't want to ruin this little exercise, and

102
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 3: I won't, but I believe that every game on the

103
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 3: Texans schedule this year, other than.

104
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 2: But what not? Should but could?

105
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:23,920
Speaker 3: All right, other than the two dates with Tennessee and

106
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 3: the game with New England and what else am I

107
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:27,599
Speaker 3: missing here?

108
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 2: Maybe Minnesota? From about Jacksonville, I think Jacksonville.

109
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 3: Look, they're a nine win team from last year, won

110
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 3: the division the year before. Jacksonville could easily be Monday out. Okay,

111
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 3: let me change this question. Then, let me change his question.

112
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:42,839
Speaker 3: Then will it be a primetime game that? Because I'm

113
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:45,720
Speaker 3: only allowed? How about give me five? And I got

114
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 3: to pick the five, okay, because I think we shouldn't

115
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:51,360
Speaker 3: get if either of the Colts games are primetime games,

116
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 3: we shouldn't be surprised if the Jets game is a

117
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 3: prime time.

118
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:57,799
Speaker 2: You know what I mean? Will it be a primetime game?

119
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 2: And what night will it be?

120
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:00,360
Speaker 6: All?

121
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 2: I like this.

122
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 1: I like this a lot Detroit. Will it be a

123
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:06,680
Speaker 1: primetime game? And if so, what night will it be on?

124
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 3: It'll be a primetime game? Week five Monday night? Oh

125
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 3: that sounds good.

126
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:15,159
Speaker 1: Yeah, I remember last year they went to Dallas later

127
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:18,360
Speaker 1: in the year. Now that's NFC NFC. But week five

128
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:20,839
Speaker 1: Monday night. Yeah, let's go.

129
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 2: I like it.

130
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, so you've already mentioned wh when you want to

131
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:27,719
Speaker 1: play that game? Week five would probably be about early

132
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 1: to mid October.

133
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:30,360
Speaker 3: Because if they're allowing me to make the schedule, I

134
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:32,039
Speaker 3: can fill it out for them right now because I

135
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 3: know who I want in here week three and I

136
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:35,360
Speaker 3: know where I want to be week two.

137
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 1: Well, one thing do you think about this game that's

138
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:39,719
Speaker 1: intriguing that maybe we haven't mentioned.

139
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 3: Well, I think that it's not a big national story,

140
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:46,599
Speaker 3: although they'll mention it, But for us here, this is

141
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:50,479
Speaker 3: Aaron Glenn defensive coreinator against Demiko Ryans. I know they're

142
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 3: not facing defense versus defense, but we talk about this

143
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 3: with the quarterback matchups as well. But Aaron Glenn an

144
00:06:55,960 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 3: original Texan, a beloved Texan, and Aggie and Lowel Houston

145
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 3: guy coming home as a high profile defensive coordinator on

146
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 3: a Super Bowl contender. I think that's a big part

147
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 3: of the story. Dan Campbell also an Aggie coming back home.

148
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 1: I think there's a lot of that type of storyline

149
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 1: for that one against Detroit.

150
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 2: Okay, let's go to another home game.

151
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 1: We faced this team two years ago and their starters

152
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 1: had baseball caps on. In the second half, they were

153
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 1: eating sunflower seeds and it got it was not great,

154
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 1: But now they got to come here two different teams

155
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:37,240
Speaker 1: now since that date. The Miami Dolphins are coming to

156
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 1: NRG Stadium. Question one, Your level of excitement to see

157
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 1: this version of the Miami Dolphins.

158
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 3: I'm always a ten for the Dolphins because I know

159
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 3: a lot of people in the organization and good I

160
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 3: have a background in Miami and they're coming here, and

161
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 3: I love the history between these two franchises, with the

162
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 3: Texans winning what the first six games of the series. Yep,

163
00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 3: and then it's been a lot more balanced since then.

164
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 3: But I'm super fired up.

165
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 2: For this one. Johnny super fired up at the Dolphins

166
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 2: coming here.

167
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:08,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, thats gonna be fun. Will it be a primetime game? No,

168
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 1: I'm with you, it could be. It wouldn't surprise me

169
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 1: if it were early, you.

170
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 2: Know, if it were. And I don't know.

171
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 1: Maybe I'm just because the one time that we've played

172
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 1: the Dolphins at primetime it was a Thursday night game.

173
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 1: I could see this being the Amazon Thursday night game. Yeah,

174
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:26,240
Speaker 1: I could see that. That's that's a good one. But

175
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 1: I have a different idea for that one. Okay, different

176
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 1: idea for that one. Yeah, what one thing about this

177
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:34,199
Speaker 1: game is intriguing? You talked about Houston returns. You got

178
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:37,840
Speaker 1: Jaylen Watto coming back home playing playing here. You went

179
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:40,560
Speaker 1: to Episcopal High School, so you love the Texans growing up.

180
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 1: But he's a Dolphin now, so that's intriguing. But what

181
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:45,679
Speaker 1: about this game is intriguing against Miami Dolphins.

182
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 3: Can the Texans secondary hang with all that speed that

183
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 3: the Dolphins have, and you know Wattle's part of that,

184
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:54,320
Speaker 3: but you have Tyreek Hill, you have Xavier Worthy.

185
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 2: Oh no, that's in Kansas City.

186
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 3: But they they've got speed there in the Dolphins receiving corps,

187
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 3: and I want to see and running backs as well.

188
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 3: You know, how you handle them? How do you cover them?

189
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:08,319
Speaker 3: Is bullet gonna cover a running back somehow? Is he

190
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:10,439
Speaker 3: gonna be on the field. So there are a lot

191
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 3: of different intriguing ideas about that Miami passing attack and

192
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 3: running game. But the way they catch the ball through

193
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:20,559
Speaker 3: the year, those running backs, how you handle that as well.

194
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's gonna be That's a great one. Jayl the

195
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 1: Wattle coming home. I think it's gonna be a nice

196
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 1: little storyline. He'll get asked for, I'm sure by the

197
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:31,200
Speaker 1: media about coming back to Houston playing for the first time.

198
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:33,560
Speaker 1: And I believe even though we played in the preseasons,

199
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:36,680
Speaker 1: the first time back at Energy since eighteen.

200
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:38,200
Speaker 2: I think that's correct.

201
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, in twenty eighteen, we played the Dolphins here

202
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:44,880
Speaker 1: on a Thursday night. Okay, the Texans will take on

203
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:53,000
Speaker 1: in AFC Championship Game loser in the Baltimore Ravens at

204
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 1: NRG Stadium. I'm not even to ask you level excitming

205
00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 1: for this one, because if I'm saying it to ten,

206
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:01,560
Speaker 1: then I know the you're saying it's at least a

207
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:04,559
Speaker 1: ten so level of excite if Baltimore, it's good said.

208
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:08,160
Speaker 3: All right, As Nigel Toughnels said in spinal Tap, these

209
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 3: go to eleven. Yeah, this goes to this on the

210
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 3: home game schedule. Get your tickets now, eight three, two, six,

211
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 3: six seven, twenty three ninety this goes to eleven the

212
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 3: Baltimore Ravens.

213
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 2: Will it be a primetime game? Yes? Yes?

214
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 1: What night do you think would make the most sense

215
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 1: to play this game?

216
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,320
Speaker 2: This is a Sunday night game at NRG stay.

217
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 1: I think so too. I think this. I think the

218
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:36,600
Speaker 1: exact same thing. I think that one is going Sunday night.

219
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:39,440
Speaker 1: Here's the last and well not the last question, but

220
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:43,600
Speaker 1: when when would you want to play the Baltimore Ravens.

221
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 1: So I just to give you my history. Week twenty

222
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 1: fourteen we played them. In Week sixteen we destroyed them.

223
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 1: Then in week then twenty seventeen, we went to Baltimore

224
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 1: on Monday night and this close battle. We did not

225
00:10:57,520 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 1: have a great team that year, had to drive late,

226
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 1: could have got it tied, didn't lost that game. Twenty

227
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:07,080
Speaker 1: nineteen we got absolutely skull drug middle of the year,

228
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 1: not good forty one to seven. Then we went back there.

229
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,080
Speaker 1: We played in twenty twenty COVID year. I forgot all

230
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:16,000
Speaker 1: about it, don't even care. This past year we played twice,

231
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:19,480
Speaker 1: both times in Baltimore and it didn't go well in

232
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 1: the second half in either game. So that's the history

233
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 1: at least since twenty fourteen. And I could take it

234
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:26,840
Speaker 1: with the Ravens. So we've kind of spread the gamut.

235
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 1: We opened with him last year, then we finished with

236
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:31,560
Speaker 1: them last year, Then we played him near the end

237
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:33,200
Speaker 1: of the year, we played him middle of the year,

238
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:34,960
Speaker 1: we played him a little bit towards the front of

239
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:36,760
Speaker 1: the year, and the one year in twenty twenty playing

240
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:37,079
Speaker 1: Week two.

241
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 2: Where will this primetime game fall?

242
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 3: Twenty twelve, it was Week seven, a week after losing

243
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 3: to Green Bay Sunday Night, and that was the first

244
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 3: loss of that season, and then they bounced back on

245
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:51,080
Speaker 3: battle Red Day beat the Ravens.

246
00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:52,200
Speaker 2: J Jo Payne fix.

247
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, So I think I might have to move my

248
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:58,320
Speaker 3: Week five Monday nighter with Detroit later on because this

249
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 3: is what I really want. Johns open against the Chiefs

250
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 3: on Thursday night.

251
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:03,800
Speaker 2: Week three.

252
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 3: I wanted to be the home opener against the Ravens.

253
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:08,319
Speaker 3: I want to be on the road week two. I'll

254
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:11,280
Speaker 3: tell you who that is later, but week.

255
00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:13,440
Speaker 2: So, first two weeks on the road, first two weeks

256
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 2: on the road.

257
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:17,320
Speaker 3: Well, you're playing more road games than home games this

258
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:21,720
Speaker 3: year anyway, gotcha. But I want to have the Ravens

259
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,720
Speaker 3: Week three home opener Sunday Night Football.

260
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:25,520
Speaker 2: Mike Turrico.

261
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 1: Now, well, here's the other question. I didn't ask what

262
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,520
Speaker 1: jerseys would you wear? Well, it's the opener, so you'd

263
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:34,520
Speaker 1: wear your Liberty white.

264
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:38,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're gonna go with Liberty white and listen, sneaky.

265
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 3: That could be my favorite uniform, the road white. The

266
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:44,720
Speaker 3: dark pants and the white tops.

267
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:46,720
Speaker 2: The way it looks, it's so good.

268
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:51,440
Speaker 3: I like that so much better than the former road uniform,

269
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:52,600
Speaker 3: so much better.

270
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:55,000
Speaker 2: There's something about the horns that just shark it up.

271
00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:58,760
Speaker 2: I liked. I like you did.

272
00:12:59,160 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 4: I fine.

273
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:01,560
Speaker 3: Always thought we should go all white on the road

274
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:03,320
Speaker 3: in that uniform, this one.

275
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 2: After seeing it.

276
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 3: Photoshop so well at Derek Stingley Junior following the league

277
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:09,160
Speaker 3: because everyone was experimenting with it, I.

278
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:10,720
Speaker 2: Was like, I like that look.

279
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:13,360
Speaker 3: I like that look a lot, so I think, uh,

280
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 3: you know, probably Liberty white.

281
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 2: Okay, let me ask you this.

282
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 3: Then it declared that, by the way, that they're still

283
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 3: going to keep with that tradition, but I imagine they would.

284
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 1: Okay, so let me ask you this, because I'm not

285
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:26,120
Speaker 1: totally clear about this, all right, I think, could you

286
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:29,160
Speaker 1: wear the battle red helmet with Liberty white?

287
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 2: Because that would look sharp? I don't know. I don't

288
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:36,800
Speaker 2: know if you can do that. I don't know you're

289
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 2: allowed to wear the helmet. What is it?

290
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:42,719
Speaker 3: Three times last year I can't keep track of. But

291
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 3: it's a moving goalpost. They always changed these rules exactly.

292
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:48,160
Speaker 3: I don't know if the Texans would do that, though

293
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:50,120
Speaker 3: they wouldn't. I don't think they'd open in white with

294
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 3: the red helmet, but that would be a badass, really

295
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:53,360
Speaker 3: cool look.

296
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:59,840
Speaker 1: Okay, so Week three home opener, Ravens, Ravens Sunday Night Football,

297
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:02,839
Speaker 1: bring in Tarico collins Worth, bringing the circus.

298
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:06,960
Speaker 3: Let's go. Okay, here's the storyline. Can you beat the

299
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:07,920
Speaker 3: Baltimore Ravens.

300
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 2: That's exactly it. That's it.

301
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 1: That's it because when you talk, I've seen this said

302
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 1: by a number of people. When I had Salon Sala

303
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 1: Pacio slid report of the Bills and I've talked to

304
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:18,400
Speaker 1: others and I've said, where do you put the Texans

305
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 1: And he said, you know, you're right.

306
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:21,600
Speaker 2: I think it's Kansaity Baltimore.

307
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:23,560
Speaker 1: And then it's kind of a you know, three four

308
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 1: teams right after that, and the Texans are in that group. Well,

309
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 1: that is the measuring stick. Yeah, that's the measuring stick

310
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:32,560
Speaker 1: for whether you have improved this team enough to be

311
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:34,520
Speaker 1: able to push for a Super Bowl and push for

312
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 1: a championship. This is that's that game. And to see

313
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 1: that in week three, oh my, oh my, Okay. Every

314
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:46,720
Speaker 1: eight years in the regular season we travel to the

315
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:51,440
Speaker 1: frozen tundra, which is redundant of Green Bay, Wisconsin, to

316
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:52,520
Speaker 1: take on the Packers.

317
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:52,840
Speaker 2: Yeah.

318
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:56,120
Speaker 1: Level of excitement now mine is about a fifty five

319
00:14:56,280 --> 00:15:00,480
Speaker 1: yeah on this one for for many many reasons for it's.

320
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:03,800
Speaker 2: Way off the charts. Will it be a primetime game? No,

321
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 2: it will not. It will not be a primetime game.

322
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:09,040
Speaker 1: If they did put it on primetime, what night would

323
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 1: it be? I feel like that's a Monday nighter too.

324
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:13,520
Speaker 1: I think it's at least a Monday nighter. They won't

325
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:16,160
Speaker 1: send you to Green Bay this far away. I would

326
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:18,480
Speaker 1: hope for a Thursday nighter, although they once upon a

327
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 1: time sent us to New England for a Thursday night er.

328
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:23,560
Speaker 2: Will ye punishment.

329
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:28,400
Speaker 3: But I think this is not a primetime game because

330
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:29,920
Speaker 3: I have other games penciled in.

331
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:33,360
Speaker 2: I already have what too, I got Detroit, Get Detroit, Baltimore,

332
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:36,600
Speaker 2: Kansas City. Yeah, so I'm up to three already. I'll

333
00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:38,720
Speaker 2: go five in this exercise. But Green Bay is not

334
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:39,160
Speaker 2: one of them.

335
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:41,400
Speaker 3: It could be again, It would not surprise me at

336
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:44,600
Speaker 3: all if it's a primetime game, especially Monday night, Sunday night.

337
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:49,160
Speaker 2: Maybe late season first field. But here's the thing. When

338
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:51,600
Speaker 2: do I think this is played? December?

339
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:52,880
Speaker 1: Oh?

340
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 2: Again?

341
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:56,920
Speaker 3: Matt Lafleur told me at the owner's meeting again, I

342
00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 3: hope to see you in December. Now, will you pull

343
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 3: on the schedule? No pull at all? But that rang

344
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:04,760
Speaker 3: with me, and I thought, you know, it's gonna happen

345
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:07,440
Speaker 3: that way. It's gonna be like twenty sixteen, where you're

346
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:09,120
Speaker 3: going up there, and how many times have we gone

347
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 3: up there?

348
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:11,200
Speaker 2: One?

349
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:17,560
Speaker 3: Two eight and sixteen sixteen, And both were in December, correct,

350
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:20,960
Speaker 3: and both were in interesting weather conditions. One was a

351
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:23,000
Speaker 3: zero degree game with no precipitation.

352
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:24,920
Speaker 2: Snow game. And what was a snow game?

353
00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 1: I mean you want to play? I mean we could

354
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 1: check that off our bucket list that we were there.

355
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:30,360
Speaker 1: We were at Lambeau for a snow game. I did

356
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 1: it a long long time ago. But doing it on

357
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:35,760
Speaker 1: the Texas sideline that was really cool, other than not

358
00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:38,080
Speaker 1: covering Jordan Nelson getting letting him get loose in the

359
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 1: fourth quarter.

360
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:42,320
Speaker 2: But December again, Ryan Griffin touchdown catch. If it's not.

361
00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:47,160
Speaker 1: A primetime game, could it be that late afternoon window

362
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 1: that draws a romo and romo and nance.

363
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:52,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, easily, easily could be you're on the road and

364
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:53,560
Speaker 3: look CBS Fox.

365
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:54,680
Speaker 2: It doesn't matter.

366
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:57,640
Speaker 3: Who the road team is anymore, but they tend to

367
00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:01,080
Speaker 3: lean that way with AFC on CBS, NFC on Fox.

368
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:03,400
Speaker 3: But that could easily be a late afternoon window or

369
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:05,680
Speaker 3: a flex late in the season. If it's in December,

370
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:07,919
Speaker 3: it could get flexed, yep, if they have a crappy

371
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 3: matchup that they want to replace.

372
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:12,240
Speaker 1: Okay, let's just get rid of this one. Get into

373
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:13,880
Speaker 1: this one, not get rid of this one. I'm looking

374
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:14,880
Speaker 1: forward this one.

375
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:16,840
Speaker 2: Traveling up I forty five.

376
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:21,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, level of excitement to face the Dallas Cowboys at

377
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:26,560
Speaker 1: Jerry World ninety two. Yeah, I don't know if that's measurable.

378
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:28,960
Speaker 1: Will it be a primetime game?

379
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:32,840
Speaker 3: It will be a Thanksgiving game, Johnny, I declare it.

380
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:36,040
Speaker 1: We're going there on Thanksgiving in New Existence.

381
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:39,240
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh. Can you imagine Thanksgiving in Dallas?

382
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:42,640
Speaker 3: I mean, oh, it doesn't get any better than that, right, Houston,

383
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:43,639
Speaker 3: Dallas Thanksgiving?

384
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:44,639
Speaker 2: And you know why I want it?

385
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:48,919
Speaker 3: Also because didn't the Oilers play the Cowboys on Thanksgiving

386
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:51,240
Speaker 3: that year? They the last year they went to the

387
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 3: AFC Championship game.

388
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:53,639
Speaker 2: Let's do it.

389
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:57,160
Speaker 3: Let's right all the wrongs and the Oilers actually beat

390
00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:57,720
Speaker 3: them that day.

391
00:17:57,840 --> 00:17:58,080
Speaker 2: They did.

392
00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:01,520
Speaker 3: Gotta do that again and this time win the AFC

393
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:04,280
Speaker 3: Championship game. See, I'm making it very simple. You have

394
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:07,960
Speaker 3: to settle all family business here. It's the Godfather.

395
00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:12,919
Speaker 1: Beat the Dallas Cowboys on Thanksgiving? Yeah afternoon? Yeah, okay,

396
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:18,480
Speaker 1: beat the Cowboys badly on Thanksgiving afternoon, or lose all

397
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:19,560
Speaker 1: sixteen other games?

398
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:23,840
Speaker 3: Which one, No, I'll lose the games. I'll take my

399
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:26,320
Speaker 3: chances on the other one. I'm a tough team still

400
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:30,159
Speaker 3: until further notice, I know they're are whipping boys of

401
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:31,080
Speaker 3: the offseason.

402
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:33,119
Speaker 2: I get it. They still have a lot of talent

403
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:35,880
Speaker 2: on the team. That is true. Okay, this one's intriguing

404
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:37,240
Speaker 2: to me for a number of different reasons.

405
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:40,160
Speaker 3: Hang in a second, though, The Cowboys storyline is how

406
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:42,879
Speaker 3: many battle red clad Texans fans are in building the

407
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:46,040
Speaker 3: building that day? And what does it do to the atmosphere?

408
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:49,200
Speaker 3: Is it's similar or better than twenty fourteen? Twenty fourteen

409
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:52,000
Speaker 3: is still I mean, it's one of the greatest atmospheres

410
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:53,680
Speaker 3: of a road game I've ever seen in any sport

411
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:54,359
Speaker 3: I've ever covered.

412
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:57,440
Speaker 1: It was absolutely incredible. Yeah, I didn't know until after

413
00:18:57,480 --> 00:19:00,280
Speaker 1: the game. I heard some guys talking about Tony Romo

414
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:02,560
Speaker 1: go into a silent count. I mean, that was that

415
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:05,960
Speaker 1: was incredible. And I just if JJ makes that sack,

416
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:08,920
Speaker 1: how does that change the game because Romo ducks under

417
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:10,920
Speaker 1: it throws a touchdown of Terrence Williams. Well, if that's

418
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:12,520
Speaker 1: all a sudden the game changes at that point.

419
00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:14,280
Speaker 3: If that turns into a win and the rest of

420
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 3: the season plays out exactly how it did. The playoffs,

421
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:18,639
Speaker 3: You're going to the playoffs, are going to play keen

422
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:19,560
Speaker 3: him as your quarterback.

423
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:24,080
Speaker 2: Wow, call the me excited. Okay, this one I'm intrigued

424
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:25,240
Speaker 2: about because.

425
00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:31,600
Speaker 1: We went there in early December last year and got destroyed,

426
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:37,159
Speaker 1: destroyed one of the It wasn't the It was the

427
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:40,960
Speaker 1: worst performance of the year for the Texans clearly, and

428
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:45,520
Speaker 1: the New York Football Jets did not have won Aaron

429
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:49,520
Speaker 1: Rodgers under center. Yeah, So level of excitement to go

430
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:54,200
Speaker 1: back to Met Life a second consecutive year to take

431
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:58,040
Speaker 1: on Aaron Rodgers and the Jets seventeen. Okay, all right,

432
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 1: I like it. I shouldn't put on a one hundred scale,

433
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:05,560
Speaker 1: not a one to ten. Yeah, okay, Aaron. Will it

434
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 1: be a primetime game? I've just fired up for these

435
00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:11,119
Speaker 1: I know this is as exciting a schedule as you

436
00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:15,240
Speaker 1: could possibly have. Christmas gift is beautiful, even going to Gillette.

437
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:17,080
Speaker 2: We'll get to that later, all right. So the Jets, Yeah,

438
00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:20,440
Speaker 2: it's a seventeen. Yeah. Will it be a primetime game?

439
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:24,080
Speaker 2: I've got one left to give out here.

440
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:27,399
Speaker 1: Because you gave out if you missed it. Detroit, Baltimore,

441
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:32,280
Speaker 1: Kansas City. That's three, Dallas Thanksgiving, that's four.

442
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:34,000
Speaker 2: All right. So it will not be a primetime Okay,

443
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:34,439
Speaker 2: We'll not be.

444
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:37,280
Speaker 3: It could be one of those late afternoon or especially

445
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:40,040
Speaker 3: later in the year late afternoon flex into that late

446
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:40,760
Speaker 3: afternoon window.

447
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:41,720
Speaker 2: They do that as well.

448
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:44,120
Speaker 3: Or see how the Jets are doing. Maybe if you're

449
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:46,320
Speaker 3: we're staying on track. Yeah, I'll go there right now.

450
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:52,320
Speaker 3: All right, it's week seventeen up there, and they're gonna

451
00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:55,560
Speaker 3: flex it to a Saturday standalone national game. Wow, it

452
00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:58,399
Speaker 3: doesn't count five, it doesn't count as your five. But

453
00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:01,000
Speaker 3: they're going for the playoffs. Other Texans, they're going to

454
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:02,840
Speaker 3: flex it into that spot.

455
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:04,840
Speaker 1: Okay, let me give you one because they were in

456
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:07,400
Speaker 1: this game last year and they ended up getting hammered

457
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:10,720
Speaker 1: because Rogers was dead and the quarterbacks did not.

458
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:11,800
Speaker 2: Do a great job that day.

459
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:16,280
Speaker 1: What about the Black Friday game day after Thanksgiving?

460
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:18,320
Speaker 3: So you want to play at Dallas Thursday and at

461
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:19,520
Speaker 3: the Jets on Friday.

462
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:24,320
Speaker 2: No not, I want to move the Cowboys to a

463
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:24,920
Speaker 2: different day.

464
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:28,960
Speaker 1: Okay, but play the Jets on Black Friday up there?

465
00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:31,840
Speaker 3: That could happen. You know what, You just spoke it

466
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:35,720
Speaker 3: into existence, did you? You manifested us on Black Friday?

467
00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:40,680
Speaker 1: Rather play Dallas on Thanksgiving afternoon than the New York

468
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:42,720
Speaker 1: Jets on Black Friday afternoon?

469
00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:44,159
Speaker 4: Like I know.

470
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:47,960
Speaker 1: Plus, Black Friday has got great college football that day,

471
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:51,920
Speaker 1: so it does. Yeah, so I mean, of course there's

472
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:52,200
Speaker 1: this thing.

473
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:55,480
Speaker 3: Is Maggie's and Longhorns playing, No, they're playing Saturday that weekend.

474
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:57,200
Speaker 1: I think Saturday that weekend. I have to have to

475
00:21:57,240 --> 00:22:01,159
Speaker 1: look that one up. Okay, I know that this one is.

476
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:03,679
Speaker 1: This one's got to be a primetime game, all right,

477
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:07,320
Speaker 1: it's got to be. It's an Energy Stadium, it's Josh

478
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:10,359
Speaker 1: Allen and Buffalo Bills minus one's Von Diggs who is

479
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:11,439
Speaker 1: now Houston, Texan.

480
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:13,240
Speaker 2: Buffalo Bills.

481
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:16,960
Speaker 1: Level of excitement coming at Energy Stadium eighty five. Yeah,

482
00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:20,080
Speaker 1: so that's definitely up there. Now, will it be a

483
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:23,640
Speaker 1: primetime game? Because we've started to run out of slots?

484
00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:26,159
Speaker 1: Will it be a primetime game? No?

485
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:30,480
Speaker 3: No, No, I'm saving my saving my last one. Really yeah,

486
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:35,160
Speaker 3: you're saving the last one. Detroit Baltimore. I've got Kansas City,

487
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:37,880
Speaker 3: the Cowboys and Thanksgiving. I got one more to give

488
00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:40,280
Speaker 3: out and it's not gonna be the Buffalo Bills.

489
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 2: I love the bubble. Again.

490
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:45,840
Speaker 3: All of these games are potential primetime games, but this

491
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:48,359
Speaker 3: one won't be. Okay, this one will not vander prediction

492
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:52,960
Speaker 3: because we're playing at home obviously, versus playing Buffalo.

493
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:55,000
Speaker 1: We always used to say back in Remember in twenty

494
00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:57,119
Speaker 1: twenty one, I was like, let's play in September. Then

495
00:22:57,160 --> 00:22:59,440
Speaker 1: we played it in September October, and then we got

496
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:04,200
Speaker 1: drench We got drenched. So it doesn't so much with

497
00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:06,119
Speaker 1: the weather here. It's gonna be inside. So it's that

498
00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:08,040
Speaker 1: is there. Any time you want to play.

499
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:10,320
Speaker 3: The Bills, I think I want them a little bit

500
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:14,400
Speaker 3: later in the year, Week thirteen, Week twelve, somewhere in there.

501
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:16,639
Speaker 3: I want them beating up a little bit, and I

502
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:19,360
Speaker 3: want them with the hope running out.

503
00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:21,119
Speaker 2: Or have runout. Oh, running out.

504
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:24,840
Speaker 3: I like, yeah, you can't play everybody up front. Okay,

505
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:27,159
Speaker 3: you got to save enough spots. I hope I have

506
00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:30,040
Speaker 3: for my division games later on in the season because

507
00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:31,800
Speaker 3: they like it then, Yeah, they like to have it

508
00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 3: like that Week fifteen, Week seventeen tennis. I already have

509
00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:36,680
Speaker 3: the Jets of Week seventeen, so I kind of blew

510
00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:39,920
Speaker 3: it there. Yeah, we'll figure that out. Okay, So you

511
00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:42,520
Speaker 3: say you have one more primetime game.

512
00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:43,280
Speaker 2: You want to know what it is.

513
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:45,480
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm looking at the schedule. Let me see if

514
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 1: I can, let me see if I can guess what

515
00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:50,639
Speaker 1: it is. It's not New England, right, it could be

516
00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:53,960
Speaker 1: Chicago Thursday night game against Chicago Kayla Williams coming in

517
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:54,960
Speaker 1: here against CJ Stred.

518
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:57,960
Speaker 2: That would be like Week three. Yeah, yeah, yeah, leg it.

519
00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:00,639
Speaker 1: Was with Carolina few years ago. Yeah, I want to

520
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:04,520
Speaker 1: say that. You're gonna say Jacksonville, Jacksonville game, prime time.

521
00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:04,879
Speaker 3: What is it?

522
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:08,960
Speaker 2: It's the Colts, Johnny, and the league sees it.

523
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:13,000
Speaker 3: They see the horseshoe and the hellishness of the history

524
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:15,320
Speaker 3: of the matchup, but the fact that the Texans and

525
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:18,760
Speaker 3: Colts played a really entertaining game that was I mean,

526
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:21,600
Speaker 3: that was phenomenal. Saturday, last week of the season for

527
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:24,600
Speaker 3: a playoff birth turned out to be for the division

528
00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:27,720
Speaker 3: based on Sunday's results. So I believe this is a

529
00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:34,440
Speaker 3: Thursday night Amazon game at Indianapolis. Yeah, latest season, latest

530
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:39,080
Speaker 3: season fourteen fifteen, somewhere in there. Okay, so one s

531
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:41,040
Speaker 3: fifteen rout if we have eighteen weeks, I'm going to

532
00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:43,760
Speaker 3: say week sixteen at Indye Thursday night.

533
00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:47,040
Speaker 1: So one of the things about the schedule, yeah, is

534
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:50,080
Speaker 1: that last week of the year is always a division opponent.

535
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:50,600
Speaker 2: Yeah.

536
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 1: So last year it turned out it was Indianapolis and

537
00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:55,960
Speaker 1: it just made perfect sense for the NFL schedule makers

538
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:57,680
Speaker 1: to put that game right in prime time.

539
00:24:57,800 --> 00:24:58,240
Speaker 2: Do it again.

540
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:01,520
Speaker 1: They're gonna put indianap plus, we're gonna go week sixteen,

541
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:02,480
Speaker 1: Week eighteen with the Colts.

542
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:05,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, eighteen, we'll be right back here with the Colts. Okay,

543
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:09,880
Speaker 2: and Thursday night up there, Week eighteen? Play him here?

544
00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:11,560
Speaker 2: Could get flax that we're playing for the.

545
00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:15,960
Speaker 3: Division moving by Jet game from that Week seventeen slot

546
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:18,000
Speaker 3: to another one because it doesn't make sense division wise.

547
00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:21,240
Speaker 3: It'll be the Colts, the Jags, and the Colts. How

548
00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:23,320
Speaker 3: about that for the last week? Boy, who did you

549
00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:23,800
Speaker 3: put in weeks?

550
00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:23,919
Speaker 5: Oh?

551
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:25,680
Speaker 2: You put the Jets in Week seven teen? Yeah, I'm moving,

552
00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:28,720
Speaker 2: So you go Colts Jags, Colts, Colts, Jags, Colts to

553
00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:32,280
Speaker 2: end the season, buckle up. I felt like last.

554
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:34,080
Speaker 1: Year's team was definitely that team that got better and

555
00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 1: better and better by the week, especially when CJ got back.

556
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:40,040
Speaker 2: On d Yeah, we were Bill.

557
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:42,880
Speaker 1: Grenard, everybody. If we're playing the Colts and the Jags

558
00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:46,280
Speaker 1: in three games. Man, we got to deal with the Texans,

559
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:46,960
Speaker 1: but I don't.

560
00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:47,720
Speaker 2: You have to deal with us.

561
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:51,200
Speaker 3: I have to understand how difficult this schedule is because

562
00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:54,080
Speaker 3: if the rest of the schedule looked a lot easier

563
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:56,680
Speaker 3: as far as non division opponents, and I told you

564
00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:59,920
Speaker 3: you're finishing with Colts, Jags, Colts, you'd say, oh my god,

565
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:00,640
Speaker 3: that's rough.

566
00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:01,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's rough.

567
00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:03,879
Speaker 3: And we haven't even talked about at that point in

568
00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:07,159
Speaker 3: that scenario, Baltimore or Kansas City, all the others that

569
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:10,040
Speaker 3: are going to make this really difficult. It's a tough schedule, man,

570
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:11,280
Speaker 3: it is a tough schedule.

571
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:16,360
Speaker 1: Buffalo, Miami, Detroit, Chicago, Jacksonville, Indie, Tennessee, Baltimore all at home.

572
00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:19,480
Speaker 1: That's eight games at home, on the road, Kansas City,

573
00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:25,840
Speaker 1: Green Bay, Minnesota, Jacksonville, Tennessee, Indianapolis, New England, New York Jets,

574
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:29,000
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys on the road.

575
00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:32,000
Speaker 2: Eight at home, nine on the road. If you want

576
00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:33,920
Speaker 2: to see those games, mark give them the number. It

577
00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:36,520
Speaker 2: is eight three, two, six, six, seven, twenty three ninety.

578
00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:40,920
Speaker 1: Get your tickets now, get locked in. Don't wait for

579
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:43,080
Speaker 1: the schedule to come out and then you find, oh

580
00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:45,480
Speaker 1: my gosh, we've got three prop time games at home.

581
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:47,960
Speaker 2: I gotta be there, and then you missed out.

582
00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:48,760
Speaker 5: Yep, you know.

583
00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:51,399
Speaker 1: Don't want you to have FOMO anymore. Don't have fomo

584
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:54,159
Speaker 1: like John Lopez had for the uniform reveield party. He

585
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:56,359
Speaker 1: even said in himself he had fomo because he missed it.

586
00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:58,840
Speaker 1: That's okay, John, we understand, we get it. There are

587
00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:00,160
Speaker 1: a lot of people that at fomo that he get

588
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:00,600
Speaker 1: to that party.

589
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:01,320
Speaker 2: That was a fun party.

590
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:03,000
Speaker 1: That was a fun and you know me, I'm not

591
00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:04,600
Speaker 1: one of those that likes to go to parties and

592
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:06,960
Speaker 1: all that, but I enjoyed it. I thought it was

593
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:09,200
Speaker 1: really really fun. Okay, coming up, Drew Doherty and I

594
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:10,920
Speaker 1: are gonna go in the lab. We're gonna talk about

595
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:15,400
Speaker 1: what happened during this draft, what did it all mean,

596
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:17,280
Speaker 1: how many starters could come out of this.

597
00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:19,720
Speaker 2: We'll talk about that next right here on Texans All Access.

598

00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:02,520
Speaker 1: talked about a lot of different things, but mainly kept

612
00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:05,280
Speaker 1: it to our thoughts about the draft and what happened

613
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:06,960
Speaker 1: this past weekend.

614
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:09,480
Speaker 4: Let's go, Hey, dude, you and I really haven't talked

615
00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:10,359
Speaker 4: since the draft.

616
00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:13,280
Speaker 1: How you doing, man, I'm good, I'm alive. That's a

617
00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:16,440
Speaker 1: definite step in the right direction after the draft. Still

618
00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:19,000
Speaker 1: feel like I've got some juice left, because by Saturday

619
00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:22,800
Speaker 1: evening I was driving home and quite the stupor after

620
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:26,840
Speaker 1: another tremendous draft all around the NFL and obviously right

621
00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:27,479
Speaker 1: here in Houston.

622
00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:28,880
Speaker 5: So yeah, doing well? How you doing?

623
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:29,840
Speaker 4: I'm good, I'm good.

624
00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:33,919
Speaker 6: It's it's another year and it's overall, it's another draft

625
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:39,840
Speaker 6: that just proves we don't know what the hell it

626
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:43,480
Speaker 6: Casario is gonna do. And you know, to his credit,

627
00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:46,760
Speaker 6: John McClain wrote an article in the week's leading up

628
00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:47,720
Speaker 6: to the draft about.

629
00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:49,680
Speaker 4: Dixon's going to take an offensive lineman.

630
00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:52,960
Speaker 6: I know they took two, but I think he was

631
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 6: a surprise to most that they went so early with

632
00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:59,640
Speaker 6: an offensive lineman and certainly the offensive lineman and Blake

633
00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:03,000
Speaker 6: Fisher right tackle from Notre Dame, and we'll get into

634
00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:04,880
Speaker 6: him in just a little bit, but that's sort of

635
00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:08,000
Speaker 6: the overriding thing that that I have have taken away

636
00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:11,480
Speaker 6: from this draft is once again, you never know what

637
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:12,680
Speaker 6: Nick Cassario is gonna do.

638
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:13,920
Speaker 4: He traded three.

639
00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:17,400
Speaker 6: Times, He waited until the final day to really make

640
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:19,680
Speaker 6: make any moves, and then he made a few, made

641
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:20,840
Speaker 6: those three big trades.

642
00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:24,560
Speaker 4: But uh, he's he's the master at surprising.

643
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:26,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, there's no question.

644
00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:30,560
Speaker 1: And I think the the uh pick a tackle was

645
00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:35,560
Speaker 1: interesting and unexpected. But when I found out who was

646
00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:37,640
Speaker 1: I and I made this point and we've talked about

647
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:38,440
Speaker 1: this on in the lab.

648
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:40,000
Speaker 5: You know a lot of people will ask me, what

649
00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:42,400
Speaker 5: do you think you're gonna do? What position? Def it's tackle, corner,

650
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:43,760
Speaker 5: corner off its tackle?

651
00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:44,200
Speaker 1: Uh?

652
00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:45,800
Speaker 5: Are they gonna draft the tight end?

653
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:50,960
Speaker 1: And I always sort of bristle at those questions because

654
00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:54,400
Speaker 1: I don't think it's that simple, because I feel like,

655
00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:57,479
Speaker 1: especially like tight end in particular, there are so many

656
00:29:57,560 --> 00:29:58,960
Speaker 1: different flavors of tight ends.

657
00:29:59,120 --> 00:29:59,920
Speaker 5: You got your pass cat.

658
00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:02,320
Speaker 1: You got your eighth packs, you got your in line guys,

659
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:04,880
Speaker 1: you got your duel threats, Guys that can play in line,

660
00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:07,080
Speaker 1: in motion, guys that are just split out, that are

661
00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:11,560
Speaker 1: just receivers, just in big tight end bodies. Like it's

662
00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:13,920
Speaker 1: not enough to say, well, we're just gonna draft the

663
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:16,680
Speaker 1: tight end. Okay, tell me which tight end it's gonna be,

664
00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:19,400
Speaker 1: and I'll tell you where that's a fit. Blake Fisher

665
00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:23,480
Speaker 1: is interesting because I remember watching in twenty twenty two summer.

666
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:25,880
Speaker 5: At twenty two you read about Joe All.

667
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:28,800
Speaker 1: I remembered Fisher from being a left tackle prior to

668
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:30,800
Speaker 1: But I'm watching him and I'm like, man, I like

669
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:32,440
Speaker 1: fifty four a lot better than I like that guy,

670
00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:34,440
Speaker 1: and everybody's talking about that guy. I like fifty four.

671
00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:36,920
Speaker 1: He's got something the run game. He's really good in

672
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:39,480
Speaker 1: the run game, and I don't think he's as deficient

673
00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:41,239
Speaker 1: the past game as everybody wants to make him out

674
00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:44,040
Speaker 1: to be. So if you have said they're gonna take

675
00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:48,000
Speaker 1: this guy at tackle, I would have been like, Okay, yeah, I.

676
00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:51,720
Speaker 5: Could see that. I could I get that, And maybe

677
00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:52,680
Speaker 5: it's not for this year.

678
00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:55,600
Speaker 1: I don't think some people were like, well, he's coming

679
00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:57,560
Speaker 1: to compete for the swing tackle position. No, no, no,

680
00:30:57,840 --> 00:31:00,360
Speaker 1: he's coming to compete to be one of the lineman

681
00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:02,840
Speaker 1: on this team, a starting lineman in twenty twenty four.

682
00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:05,520
Speaker 1: Coming to compete to be a backup. That's not what

683
00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:10,240
Speaker 1: he's coming to do. And that doesn't mean that, you know,

684
00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:13,200
Speaker 1: he's gonna immediately supplant Titus Howard, or he's gonna supplant

685
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:15,680
Speaker 1: Tightus Howard, or he's gonna supplant Haron Tunsall. Doesn't mean

686
00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:17,520
Speaker 1: any of that just means that he's coming to compete

687
00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:20,160
Speaker 1: for playing time. And if that means that maybe he's

688
00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:22,160
Speaker 1: got a change position because they've got to get him

689
00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:24,160
Speaker 1: on the field, well so be it. Because Blake Fisher,

690
00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:26,640
Speaker 1: I think, has got something. He's got the physicality they're

691
00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:28,560
Speaker 1: looking for. He's got the athleticism to get up to

692
00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:29,120
Speaker 1: the second.

693
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:32,760
Speaker 5: Level and move in zone on zone stuff. He's got

694
00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:33,880
Speaker 5: what they're looking for.

695
00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:37,560
Speaker 1: And so it didn't surprise me who it was, not

696
00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:41,840
Speaker 1: what it was the fact that it was him versus

697
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:43,880
Speaker 1: just an offensive tackle, because there are a lot offensive

698
00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:46,400
Speaker 1: tackles that I have said, no way, when I heard

699
00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:50,680
Speaker 1: his name, I went, I yeah, okay, yes, I like that,

700
00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:53,440
Speaker 1: so I think in future years I got to figure

701
00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:55,400
Speaker 1: out the right way of saying it, you know. And

702
00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:57,560
Speaker 1: it's funny because Nick and I kind of kind of

703
00:31:57,640 --> 00:31:59,640
Speaker 1: joke about his board and what they put their you know,

704
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:02,000
Speaker 1: their board, they put maybe like one hundred or hundred

705
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:05,120
Speaker 1: and twenty five guys and that's their board. So there

706
00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:08,160
Speaker 1: are higher ranked players more than likely a tackle they

707
00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:10,000
Speaker 1: probably didn't have on their board because they weren't thinking,

708
00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:12,400
Speaker 1: these guys can come give us what it is that

709
00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:12,920
Speaker 1: we want.

710
00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:16,120
Speaker 5: But they probably had a few tackles on their board.

711
00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:17,840
Speaker 1: Blake Fisher being one of them, where they felt like,

712
00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:20,640
Speaker 1: this guy comes in and it epitomizes everything that we're

713
00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:23,400
Speaker 1: looking for in offensive linement, and with some time, we

714
00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:24,920
Speaker 1: think he could be a pretty good one. And that's

715
00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:26,840
Speaker 1: why we're making his pick at number fifty nine. I

716
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:28,640
Speaker 1: have him at sixty two and Harrison one hundred drew,

717
00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:30,800
Speaker 1: So I mean, I felt pretty good about where I

718
00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:32,560
Speaker 1: had him slotted, and that's about.

719
00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:32,800
Speaker 5: Where he went.

720
00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:33,880
Speaker 4: Okay.

721
00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:36,560
Speaker 6: So with all that in mind, I know you're you're

722
00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:40,360
Speaker 6: you're smart guy. You know that you know a lot

723
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:42,240
Speaker 6: about the draft, but you also know there's some things

724
00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:44,320
Speaker 6: you don't know that the Scouts and that Ca Sario

725
00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:46,520
Speaker 6: and all of them know, oh absolutely, and you're always

726
00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:49,080
Speaker 6: willing to Hey, I'm going to defer they know what

727
00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:49,800
Speaker 6: the hell they're doing.

728
00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:50,280
Speaker 5: Right.

729
00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:53,880
Speaker 6: So with all that in mind, which pick of the

730
00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:58,040
Speaker 6: nine got you the most? Because you, I don't know

731
00:32:58,120 --> 00:33:00,880
Speaker 6: if you know this, sometimes you can get excited about picks.

732
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:03,640
Speaker 6: You've you've gotten excited about picks in the past, and

733
00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:07,600
Speaker 6: you get amped up about things. Did any of them

734
00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:11,440
Speaker 6: overwhelmingly amp you up this year as opposed to you

735
00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:12,040
Speaker 6: know the others?

736
00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:17,000
Speaker 5: Uh Stover pick was was pretty good again. Going back

737
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:17,880
Speaker 5: to the whole tight end thing.

738
00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:21,880
Speaker 1: I you know, Friday night at the draft party, you know,

739
00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:23,680
Speaker 1: we're kind of right out in the open and everybody's

740
00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:26,280
Speaker 1: just kind of picking my brain, and you know, there

741
00:33:26,320 --> 00:33:28,240
Speaker 1: were people asking me about tight End. And then I

742
00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:32,080
Speaker 1: had somebody come up and really loyal listener and just

743
00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:34,680
Speaker 1: was kind of feisty about your TV on Sanders, and

744
00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:37,200
Speaker 1: I just was like, I just don't think that's what

745
00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:40,560
Speaker 1: they're looking for, you know, a guy that's you know,

746
00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:42,840
Speaker 1: really kind of a glorified past receiver. I mean, they

747
00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:45,600
Speaker 1: have Dalton Schultz and they have Brevin Jordan do those things.

748
00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:47,880
Speaker 1: And I don't think Sanders is going to upgrade either

749
00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:50,520
Speaker 1: one of those spots. But if you tell me, okay,

750
00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:53,719
Speaker 1: they're gonna grab gate, they're gonna draft catched over, Like, hey,

751
00:33:53,760 --> 00:33:55,400
Speaker 1: wait a second. That I played in Rose Bull a

752
00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:57,320
Speaker 1: defensive end a couple years ago, which is almost the

753
00:33:57,360 --> 00:33:58,600
Speaker 1: first thing that's remarkable.

754
00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:02,920
Speaker 4: And he also played the line back. I mean that's remarkable.

755
00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:06,200
Speaker 1: But because of that, Drew he's got a physicality that

756
00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:08,680
Speaker 1: a lot of tight ends didn't have it don't have. Now.

757
00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:12,360
Speaker 5: Is he is he clean as a blocker, No, but

758
00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:13,759
Speaker 5: he's definitely willing and.

759
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:17,640
Speaker 4: He's he's raw, right, hasn't played this position, you know.

760
00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:20,640
Speaker 1: So I feel like that's a spot where if he

761
00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:23,880
Speaker 1: comes in, he's tough at is all get out. He

762
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:25,520
Speaker 1: was also a basketball player in high school.

763
00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:25,920
Speaker 5: We average.

764
00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:27,960
Speaker 1: I think I put in his report he averaged fifteen

765
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:31,440
Speaker 1: rebounds a game. And if you think about rebounding in basketball,

766
00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:35,960
Speaker 1: it's all about body control, anticipation, quickness, and strength.

767
00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:37,080
Speaker 5: All of that.

768
00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:39,880
Speaker 1: You got to have to play play tight end in

769
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:42,160
Speaker 1: whatever form or fashion you're gonna play.

770
00:34:42,200 --> 00:34:43,839
Speaker 5: I don't think he's gonna be the move guy.

771
00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:46,279
Speaker 1: I don't think he is gonna end up being the

772
00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:48,799
Speaker 1: fullback that kind of I think he's gonna end up

773
00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:51,959
Speaker 1: being an inline. Why that might might move a little

774
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:53,919
Speaker 1: bit depending on what the personnel is, but he's gonna

775
00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:55,759
Speaker 1: give you little something that the analyzed scrimmage that you

776
00:34:55,800 --> 00:35:01,480
Speaker 1: don't have right now currently depending on t In Toriano's availability.

777
00:35:01,560 --> 00:35:02,800
Speaker 5: And I love Teagan.

778
00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:04,799
Speaker 1: I mean Tiga was a pick that I called out

779
00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:07,160
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago when the Texans were on

780
00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:08,680
Speaker 1: the clock, Like, I think he's on the clock. If

781
00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:10,319
Speaker 1: they're looking tight end, this guy would be great because

782
00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:12,560
Speaker 1: he's in line. Why but Hega just hasn't been able

783
00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:15,480
Speaker 1: to stay healthy, and so you've got to stay healthy

784
00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:20,440
Speaker 1: and have a healthy in line. Why that can at

785
00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:24,480
Speaker 1: least go against Miles Garrett and give him something that

786
00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:28,600
Speaker 1: can go against Quity Pay and give him something and

787
00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:31,080
Speaker 1: just fight with him a little bit. You're not gonna

788
00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:33,120
Speaker 1: win every block, but just fight with him, be physical

789
00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:35,280
Speaker 1: with him. And I think you get that from Caate Stover.

790
00:35:35,360 --> 00:35:39,520
Speaker 1: I also got excited about Juir Jordan really kind of

791
00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:42,800
Speaker 1: born out of a game early in the season. I

792
00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:45,799
Speaker 1: watched the opening opening game of the season, Louisville played

793
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:49,880
Speaker 1: Georgia Tech up in the the Atlanta Dome whatever whatever

794
00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:54,680
Speaker 1: it's called now mercedeses Been Stadium, and our guy Andre

795
00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:57,719
Speaker 1: where did that game? And Jordan has a seventy five

796
00:35:57,800 --> 00:36:00,879
Speaker 1: yard screen, takes it to the house, has another couple

797
00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:02,920
Speaker 1: of runs where you just see the shiftiness and you

798
00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:05,800
Speaker 1: get that kind of Devin Singletary like feel. And I

799
00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:10,000
Speaker 1: copped I copped Juar Jordan to Shady McCoy just kind

800
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:13,520
Speaker 1: of the way that he runs and moves and slides

801
00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:15,920
Speaker 1: and jump cuts. You know, he's I don't think he's

802
00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:18,440
Speaker 1: as dynamic as Shady obviously, that's why he went in

803
00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:22,319
Speaker 1: the sixth round. But he's not a tiny, tiny guy.

804
00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:24,520
Speaker 1: I mean he's one hundred ninety five pounds, he's thick,

805
00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:27,640
Speaker 1: he's five to nine. But you can impact the pass,

806
00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:29,840
Speaker 1: the run, and the return game with one guy, and

807
00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:32,360
Speaker 1: I think that's, you know, the whole more you can do.

808
00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:35,719
Speaker 5: He's the epitome. Those are the two that are like, Okay, yes,

809
00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:38,680
Speaker 5: I like it, absolutely, Okay.

810
00:36:38,760 --> 00:36:43,719
Speaker 6: There's nine Texans drafted. Of the nine over under two

811
00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:47,160
Speaker 6: and a half will start more than six games this year.

812
00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:49,440
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say over, and it's it's kind of a

813
00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:52,320
Speaker 1: cheating over because I feel like I feel like with

814
00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:55,720
Speaker 1: tight ends, there's that opportunity to be on the field

815
00:36:55,760 --> 00:36:58,080
Speaker 1: in twelve even thirteen personnel to start a game. You

816
00:36:58,120 --> 00:37:00,400
Speaker 1: may not play a lot, but hey, twelve first NL

817
00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:03,480
Speaker 1: Okay Stover started the game, so I could see him

818
00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:06,360
Speaker 1: starting in that kind of role. Five to six. I

819
00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:11,239
Speaker 1: could see eventually Kamari starting a decent amount of the year.

820
00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:13,520
Speaker 1: And then I feel like there's gotta be one other, right,

821
00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:17,400
Speaker 1: he's nine. You gotta feel like you're gonna get. You

822
00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:20,040
Speaker 1: gotta get fifteen to eighteen starts out of a rookie,

823
00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:22,759
Speaker 1: I would imagine, And I feel like that's gonna come

824
00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:26,239
Speaker 1: from three guys. Now, you know, Stover and Last feel

825
00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:30,000
Speaker 1: like the two that are the most you know that

826
00:37:30,120 --> 00:37:31,719
Speaker 1: I would say they're kind of the most ready to

827
00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:35,480
Speaker 1: do it, I guess, And just depending on packages, you know,

828
00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:38,360
Speaker 1: with a corner, it can be he's at nickel, so

829
00:37:38,480 --> 00:37:40,680
Speaker 1: he's on a field starting, So you kind of kind

830
00:37:40,719 --> 00:37:43,640
Speaker 1: of cheat in a way. But that's a good number, Drew,

831
00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:45,560
Speaker 1: because I think it's two three, but I'm gonna go

832
00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:48,720
Speaker 1: with three and be optimistic. But this is a really

833
00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:51,879
Speaker 1: veteran laden team, even if the veterans are two year

834
00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:55,960
Speaker 1: guys like Will and Tank and CJ. Jared Patterson, et cetera,

835
00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:58,480
Speaker 1: it's a it's a veteran Layden team. You know, there

836
00:37:58,520 --> 00:38:01,359
Speaker 1: were seventy five veterans on the roster before they went

837
00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:04,000
Speaker 1: into the draft, so those guys are going to be

838
00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:06,160
Speaker 1: leading the way. So even if that number is two

839
00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:08,759
Speaker 1: or even one, I'm not going to panic, but I

840
00:38:08,840 --> 00:38:11,319
Speaker 1: do want to see this rookie class, as simple as

841
00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:15,080
Speaker 1: it is, rookie class, stay healthy so that you can

842
00:38:15,160 --> 00:38:20,440
Speaker 1: stack days and the great not even the good rookies

843
00:38:20,520 --> 00:38:24,080
Speaker 1: that we've seen, they've been able to do that. They've

844
00:38:24,120 --> 00:38:28,280
Speaker 1: been able to practice, practice, practice, play review the film,

845
00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:32,360
Speaker 1: learn from it, practice practice, practice, play review the front film,

846
00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:35,239
Speaker 1: learn from it, go back and do it again. We've

847
00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:38,560
Speaker 1: seen great rookies around here become great because they're doing

848
00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:41,759
Speaker 1: it every single week. Whereas we've seen rookies with a

849
00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:44,360
Speaker 1: lot of potential they end up getting banged up or

850
00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:47,000
Speaker 1: get you know, you know, hurt beyond being banged up,

851
00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:49,520
Speaker 1: and they're out three four weeks at a time, and

852
00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:51,319
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, they play two games, hurt again,

853
00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:52,840
Speaker 1: play four games.

854
00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:54,719
Speaker 5: It's still kind of banged.

855
00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:57,680
Speaker 1: Up, sit another couple of games, there's this disruption and

856
00:38:57,840 --> 00:39:01,719
Speaker 1: so rookies and that's it's tough because they're obviously playing

857
00:39:01,719 --> 00:39:03,840
Speaker 1: at a much higher level. But rookies that are going

858
00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:05,440
Speaker 1: to impact this team are going to be ones that

859
00:39:05,560 --> 00:39:08,520
Speaker 1: are at practice every single day, learning every single day,

860
00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:12,440
Speaker 1: not hurt, stacking good days and eventually realized, hey, I

861
00:39:12,520 --> 00:39:15,480
Speaker 1: can play at this level. I'm ready for my opportunity.

862
00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:17,600
Speaker 1: And then they get better and better the more that

863
00:39:17,680 --> 00:39:19,280
Speaker 1: they're on the field, the more they're available.

864
00:39:20,480 --> 00:39:21,000
Speaker 4: Good stuff.

865
00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:23,160
Speaker 6: All right, I'm gonna end with this. It's kind of

866
00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:25,080
Speaker 6: sign of the times, one of those type of deals.

867
00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:28,680
Speaker 6: But the final four picks of the Texans in this

868
00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:35,160
Speaker 6: draft this year combined went to eight different colleges. All

869
00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:37,800
Speaker 6: four of them went to two different schools. You know,

870
00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:40,520
Speaker 6: you had birds starting out at Wyoming and then moving

871
00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:44,760
Speaker 6: on to USC Yet Ldarius Henderson Arizona State the Michigan

872
00:39:44,840 --> 00:39:47,400
Speaker 6: and he's a very feast. He's the only Native Texan

873
00:39:47,400 --> 00:39:50,759
Speaker 6: from Waxahachi and he played for John Kittna was his

874
00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:53,680
Speaker 6: high school. Yeah yeah, Well, it's a great story about

875
00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:56,200
Speaker 6: how he got into football, how he got discovered. He's

876
00:39:56,280 --> 00:39:58,480
Speaker 6: really still kind of new to the game, not as

877
00:39:58,520 --> 00:40:01,000
Speaker 6: new to the position at ti in like cad Stover,

878
00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:04,120
Speaker 6: but new to the game of football. It's a really

879
00:40:04,200 --> 00:40:06,160
Speaker 6: really cool story in the athletic It's from about four

880
00:40:06,200 --> 00:40:07,960
Speaker 6: or five years ago, but that's a good read. But

881
00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:12,520
Speaker 6: lots of guys who went one place and finished at

882
00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:15,600
Speaker 6: another Jeorge Jordan Syracuse.

883
00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:16,280
Speaker 4: Then on to Louisville.

884
00:40:16,440 --> 00:40:17,719
Speaker 6: You can keep going on and on and on, but

885
00:40:17,880 --> 00:40:20,960
Speaker 6: just it's an interesting juxtaposition. You don't see that or

886
00:40:21,040 --> 00:40:24,360
Speaker 6: you didn't see that like you do now right absolutely.

887
00:40:24,400 --> 00:40:26,640
Speaker 5: I mean NIL and transfer portal have changed everything.

888
00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:29,960
Speaker 1: And I've talked to a number of coaches, you know,

889
00:40:30,040 --> 00:40:32,400
Speaker 1: some I know locally, head coaches I know locally that

890
00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:37,279
Speaker 1: talking about that, and they talk about how they.

891
00:40:37,239 --> 00:40:40,640
Speaker 5: Have a player, a really good player, it's a good.

892
00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:42,000
Speaker 1: Chance that they're going to lose them to a Power

893
00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:46,320
Speaker 1: five school because there is an iol money, there is

894
00:40:46,520 --> 00:40:49,719
Speaker 1: an opportunity to be seen at a higher level, playing

895
00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:53,680
Speaker 1: against higher level competition. And so you have you know,

896
00:40:53,880 --> 00:40:57,040
Speaker 1: schools in Texas that you know, I don't want to

897
00:40:57,040 --> 00:41:01,080
Speaker 1: say become theater schools for bigger schools, but when they

898
00:41:01,160 --> 00:41:04,680
Speaker 1: get great players, teams are always looking in the portal,

899
00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:07,160
Speaker 1: and kids go in the portal just to kind of

900
00:41:07,239 --> 00:41:09,800
Speaker 1: check things out, just to see what kind of offers

901
00:41:09,840 --> 00:41:11,239
Speaker 1: they can get. If they're not in the portal, nobody

902
00:41:11,280 --> 00:41:12,840
Speaker 1: could talk to them. But if they get into portal,

903
00:41:13,640 --> 00:41:16,239
Speaker 1: you know, then they get all kinds of offers. And

904
00:41:16,680 --> 00:41:20,320
Speaker 1: you know, I know of a defensive back who I

905
00:41:20,880 --> 00:41:23,960
Speaker 1: covered for three four years at Sam Houston. He ended

906
00:41:24,040 --> 00:41:26,800
Speaker 1: up going to UTSA, had a good year at UTSA,

907
00:41:26,880 --> 00:41:29,160
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, Oregon offered him a massive,

908
00:41:29,480 --> 00:41:33,680
Speaker 1: a massive an il deal. And now he's more than

909
00:41:33,760 --> 00:41:36,880
Speaker 1: likely gonna start at Oregon. And because he's at Oregon,

910
00:41:36,920 --> 00:41:39,400
Speaker 1: he's gonna be playing against you know, big ten competition.

911
00:41:40,200 --> 00:41:43,360
Speaker 1: It's gonna raise his profile. And I think that's really

912
00:41:43,480 --> 00:41:46,520
Speaker 1: what it's going to do going forward, is you're gonna

913
00:41:46,600 --> 00:41:50,240
Speaker 1: have players that are a a little bit older because

914
00:41:50,280 --> 00:41:53,560
Speaker 1: they're staying because hey, I could be a fourth round pick,

915
00:41:54,239 --> 00:41:56,200
Speaker 1: or I could be a fifth round fourth fifth round

916
00:41:56,239 --> 00:42:00,359
Speaker 1: pick this year, or I can go make nil money,

917
00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:04,319
Speaker 1: improve my stock and become a first or second round

918
00:42:04,360 --> 00:42:05,839
Speaker 1: pick the next year.

919
00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:07,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's a no brainer.

920
00:42:08,040 --> 00:42:12,320
Speaker 1: And so you had a lot less underclassmen, declaring you

921
00:42:12,440 --> 00:42:15,080
Speaker 1: had a lot more transfers being drafted.

922
00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:16,680
Speaker 5: And I think that is just going to continue and

923
00:42:16,719 --> 00:42:18,200
Speaker 5: continue and continue.

924
00:42:17,840 --> 00:42:21,680
Speaker 1: Especially since this past I think it was maybe a

925
00:42:21,800 --> 00:42:24,160
Speaker 1: month ago maybe with the n S Douba passed the

926
00:42:24,239 --> 00:42:26,880
Speaker 1: rule where it's unlimited transfers. You can play at four

927
00:42:26,920 --> 00:42:30,520
Speaker 1: different schools, four different years. You're seeing guys that you know,

928
00:42:30,600 --> 00:42:34,320
Speaker 1: I just saw one the other day. Guys, you've graduated

929
00:42:34,400 --> 00:42:38,880
Speaker 1: high school yet, but he went early to LSU. By

930
00:42:38,920 --> 00:42:40,840
Speaker 1: the end of string practice, he already went back in

931
00:42:40,880 --> 00:42:45,120
Speaker 1: the portal. I mean, his twenty twenty four classmates haven't

932
00:42:45,160 --> 00:42:48,160
Speaker 1: even graduated from high school and he's already going on

933
00:42:48,280 --> 00:42:49,040
Speaker 1: a second school.

934
00:42:49,520 --> 00:42:51,360
Speaker 5: And so that's becoming more and more prevalent.

935
00:42:52,040 --> 00:42:55,160
Speaker 6: So it sort of stands to reason if this trend

936
00:42:55,239 --> 00:42:58,200
Speaker 6: continues going the way it goes, the drafts are going

937
00:42:58,239 --> 00:43:01,279
Speaker 6: to be deeper, right like with higher quality players because

938
00:43:01,280 --> 00:43:02,880
Speaker 6: they're more experienced in theory.

939
00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:05,239
Speaker 1: Right, Well, I think you're gonna end up getting a

940
00:43:05,360 --> 00:43:08,080
Speaker 1: higher quality player in Day three is in particular, and

941
00:43:08,160 --> 00:43:10,239
Speaker 1: I think when you look at you, you brought it

942
00:43:10,360 --> 00:43:12,880
Speaker 1: up when you talk about what the Texans did. Jamaul

943
00:43:12,960 --> 00:43:15,719
Speaker 1: Hill was at Oregon for I think it was for

944
00:43:15,840 --> 00:43:18,920
Speaker 1: five years and by his fifth year, they played him

945
00:43:18,920 --> 00:43:19,400
Speaker 1: at linebacker.

946
00:43:19,480 --> 00:43:21,520
Speaker 5: Jerard Jordan had been in a couple of schools, yeah,

947
00:43:21,880 --> 00:43:22,919
Speaker 5: and stayed for a while.

948
00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:28,719
Speaker 1: Marcus Harris was that Kansas went to Auburn looking for

949
00:43:28,840 --> 00:43:30,840
Speaker 1: a higher level opportunities all SEC.

950
00:43:31,080 --> 00:43:33,400
Speaker 5: That opens the eyes. Even though he six two two

951
00:43:33,400 --> 00:43:33,759
Speaker 5: eighty five.

952
00:43:33,800 --> 00:43:35,319
Speaker 1: I can promise you if he' sixty two two eighty

953
00:43:35,360 --> 00:43:40,200
Speaker 1: five at Kansas, more than likely he's probably not gonna get.

954
00:43:41,560 --> 00:43:42,840
Speaker 5: An opportunity to be drafted.

955
00:43:43,960 --> 00:43:45,680
Speaker 1: But if he does what he does at Kansas over

956
00:43:45,719 --> 00:43:48,920
Speaker 1: at Auburn now Suddy, he opens eyes to Jim Naggy

957
00:43:48,960 --> 00:43:49,640
Speaker 1: and the Senior Bowl.

958
00:43:50,280 --> 00:43:51,719
Speaker 5: Did you get an opportunity Senior Bowl?

959
00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:53,759
Speaker 1: Even though at the Senior Bowl there were some good

960
00:43:53,760 --> 00:43:55,440
Speaker 1: moments in bad me, I don't think he was tremendous,

961
00:43:55,480 --> 00:43:57,279
Speaker 1: but thought he was good. But he had that opportunity,

962
00:43:58,160 --> 00:44:01,239
Speaker 1: and he also did his work against SEC teams, and

963
00:44:01,320 --> 00:44:04,239
Speaker 1: so I think what you're gonna have is a lot

964
00:44:04,360 --> 00:44:08,399
Speaker 1: more talent trying to fight into those bigger conferences, big

965
00:44:08,480 --> 00:44:12,000
Speaker 1: ten SEC, so that they end up having that opportunity

966
00:44:12,080 --> 00:44:14,920
Speaker 1: to show everybody what they can do. And then the draft,

967
00:44:15,640 --> 00:44:18,520
Speaker 1: I don't want to say, just focus on those two conferences,

968
00:44:18,600 --> 00:44:20,960
Speaker 1: but that's where the meat of it is gonna end

969
00:44:21,080 --> 00:44:23,720
Speaker 1: up going because you just have kids very rarely staying

970
00:44:23,760 --> 00:44:26,040
Speaker 1: in the same spot. I mean, Colorado is the the

971
00:44:26,120 --> 00:44:28,520
Speaker 1: biggest culprit of right now. I mean, they're they're basically

972
00:44:28,640 --> 00:44:32,840
Speaker 1: free agents in football. So it's it's an odd place

973
00:44:32,960 --> 00:44:36,040
Speaker 1: to be, especially for those that try and show differences

974
00:44:36,120 --> 00:44:39,480
Speaker 1: between college football and the NFL. But really, college football

975
00:44:39,520 --> 00:44:42,560
Speaker 1: has become like the NFL in a lot of different ways.

976
00:44:43,640 --> 00:44:45,759
Speaker 1: I just feel like the well, the NFL has got

977
00:44:45,840 --> 00:44:47,960
Speaker 1: it down to a science. They collect a barering agreement.

978
00:44:48,120 --> 00:44:51,160
Speaker 1: They got these rules. Everybody follows these rules. College football

979
00:44:51,160 --> 00:44:52,759
Speaker 1: doesn't have that. It's wild wild West.

980
00:44:53,560 --> 00:44:55,879
Speaker 4: Yeah, I was just about to say wild wild West. Yeah,

981
00:44:56,760 --> 00:44:57,399
Speaker 4: crazy weird.

982
00:44:57,480 --> 00:44:59,800
Speaker 1: So I mean, it's funny because we talked about that

983
00:44:59,880 --> 00:45:03,160
Speaker 1: on Friday night and then really that that just what

984
00:45:03,280 --> 00:45:05,600
Speaker 1: we talked about, and then on Saturday it came to fruition.

985
00:45:06,080 --> 00:45:09,879
Speaker 1: Solomon Birds twenty four years old, married with children, Mark,

986
00:45:10,000 --> 00:45:12,040
Speaker 1: those other players had been Marcus Serrius had been in

987
00:45:12,080 --> 00:45:14,279
Speaker 1: two schools, Larrius Henderson you mentioned, been in a couple

988
00:45:14,280 --> 00:45:17,880
Speaker 1: of schools. You just get that opportunity to kind of

989
00:45:17,960 --> 00:45:20,680
Speaker 1: shop your wares at a different place. So I think

990
00:45:20,760 --> 00:45:21,319
Speaker 1: it's going to be.

991
00:45:21,360 --> 00:45:22,600
Speaker 5: More and more and more.

992
00:45:22,719 --> 00:45:24,480
Speaker 1: Like if you went and looked at the f's the

993
00:45:24,560 --> 00:45:28,200
Speaker 1: players from FCS schools that got drafted, it's a very

994
00:45:28,280 --> 00:45:31,840
Speaker 1: small number comparatively to other years. Okay, we'll cut it

995
00:45:31,920 --> 00:45:34,720
Speaker 1: right there, big thanks to Drew for stopping by. Within

996
00:45:35,080 --> 00:45:38,040
Speaker 1: the lab. We get back, We'll go around the NFL.

997
00:45:38,280 --> 00:45:40,560
Speaker 1: Anything going on, We'll hit it next on Texans All Access.

998
00:45:40,680 --> 00:45:41,120
Speaker 2: What's happened?

999
00:45:41,120 --> 00:45:43,600
Speaker 1: Everybody will find a segment of this edition of Texans

1000
00:45:43,760 --> 00:45:46,680
Speaker 1: All Acts. Sign your host, John Harris Football on a

1001
00:45:46,880 --> 00:45:49,839
Speaker 1: sideline reporter. I'm glad the mattress Firm, the official sleep

1002
00:45:49,880 --> 00:45:52,239
Speaker 1: partner of your Houston, Texas is on board.

1003
00:45:52,280 --> 00:45:54,799
Speaker 2: Mattress firm Memorial Dale Sale is here.

Speaker 1: Get match to your perfect bed and save up to

1005
00:45:57,880 --> 00:46:02,960
Speaker 1: seven hundred dollars on select mattresses from top brands. Okay,

1006
00:46:03,560 --> 00:46:05,800
Speaker 1: go around in the NFL with Well one question. It

1007
00:46:05,880 --> 00:46:09,000
Speaker 1: was kind of similar to what Mark what I did

1008
00:46:09,080 --> 00:46:11,400
Speaker 1: for Mark. I gave him Well a few questions as

1009
00:46:11,440 --> 00:46:13,880
Speaker 1: it pertaining to the schedule. The guys over at NFL

1010
00:46:14,520 --> 00:46:18,719
Speaker 1: dot Com NFL Network gave their thoughts about who they.

1011
00:46:18,760 --> 00:46:20,680
Speaker 2: Think should play the Kansas City Chiefs.

1012
00:46:21,320 --> 00:46:26,840
Speaker 1: In the opener, Jeffrey Chedija picked the Baltimore Ravens. That

1013
00:46:26,920 --> 00:46:29,880
Speaker 1: makes sense. Baltimore is playing at Kansas City, so that

1014
00:46:29,960 --> 00:46:33,200
Speaker 1: makes sense. Scott Pioli picked the Las Vegas Raiders. Boy,

1015
00:46:33,200 --> 00:46:34,960
Speaker 1: that'd be good when I was played on Christmas Day

1016
00:46:35,120 --> 00:46:38,080
Speaker 1: and the Raiders knocked them off. Marice Jones Drew said

1017
00:46:38,120 --> 00:46:41,919
Speaker 1: the Cincinnati Bengals, because it is Burrowhead after all. Judy

1018
00:46:41,960 --> 00:46:45,600
Speaker 1: Batista said the Ravens again. David Carr said the La Chargers.

1019
00:46:46,360 --> 00:46:51,960
Speaker 1: But Mark Ross, my Ivy League brethren, said your Houston Texans.

1020
00:46:52,040 --> 00:46:52,959
Speaker 2: This is what he said.

1021
00:46:53,760 --> 00:46:55,879
Speaker 1: At this time last year, the Texans were just hoping

1022
00:46:55,920 --> 00:46:57,839
Speaker 1: to build on a promising draft Hall. That was before

1023
00:46:57,880 --> 00:47:00,960
Speaker 1: a transcendent rookie season the quarterbacks Stroud and head coach

1024
00:47:01,040 --> 00:47:03,520
Speaker 1: Damiko Ryans, who let Houston to the AFC South title

1025
00:47:03,600 --> 00:47:05,879
Speaker 1: in a playoff victory. The Texas have done a lot

1026
00:47:05,920 --> 00:47:09,080
Speaker 1: of things this offseason, acquiring Hunter Digs, and now the

1027
00:47:09,200 --> 00:47:12,160
Speaker 1: Sites are set on to throwning the reigning champ shot

1028
00:47:12,239 --> 00:47:13,759
Speaker 1: with his chance right after bat to go toe to

1029
00:47:13,840 --> 00:47:17,160
Speaker 1: toe with Mahomes, the current NFL standard at the position.

1030
00:47:17,600 --> 00:47:20,439
Speaker 1: What better storyline than an up and coming team trying

1031
00:47:20,440 --> 00:47:21,320
Speaker 1: to take down to champs.

1032
00:47:21,400 --> 00:47:22,640
Speaker 5: I'm here for it.

1033
00:47:22,920 --> 00:47:26,720
Speaker 1: You know what agrees with Mark Mark. Mark Vandermiir agrees

1034
00:47:26,760 --> 00:47:31,479
Speaker 1: with Mark Ross. Opening week Thursday night game in Kansas City.

1035
00:47:31,920 --> 00:47:35,360
Speaker 1: It'll get a little hot. I wouldn't mind it. I

1036
00:47:35,400 --> 00:47:38,040
Speaker 1: wouldn't mind it at all. The taste in my mouth

1037
00:47:38,080 --> 00:47:41,239
Speaker 1: from at twenty twenty game is so bitter for many,

1038
00:47:41,400 --> 00:47:44,279
Speaker 1: many reasons, So maybe we'll kick them off. Appreciate Mark

1039
00:47:44,320 --> 00:47:46,160
Speaker 1: for being here, Drew for being in a lab. You

1040
00:47:46,239 --> 00:47:48,440
Speaker 1: guys were listening on my guys back at s Portreo

1041
00:47:48,520 --> 00:47:49,719
Speaker 1: six ten, keeping us on the air.

1042
00:47:49,760 --> 00:47:52,240
Speaker 2: We'll see tomorrow everybody, and as always, go Texans.
