Good time, good foy. 3 00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:13,560 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you're ready. They're back. You are.

Obviously huge breaking news 11 00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:45,879 Speaker 1: in the league this morning with the Watson suspension and 12 00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:48,600 Speaker 1: a lot going on to discuss. John McLean's going to 13 00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:50,640 Speaker 1: join us at eight thirty to go over all of that, 14 00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:53,040 Speaker 1: and we'll probably have an opinion or two along the way, 15 00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:56,240 Speaker 1: but really it's great to have resolution. Isn't it great 16 00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:59,960 Speaker 1: to have resolution? Either way you go. Right now, though, 17 00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:03,800 Speaker 1: we're about to make history because moments ago on his 18 00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:06,679 Speaker 1: way out to the practice field right after a conversation 19 00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:09,440 Speaker 1: with the officials who are here today because it's the 20 00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:12,920 Speaker 1: first padded practice for the Texans, John Harris and I 21 00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:16,160 Speaker 1: had a chance to catch up with coach Lovey Smith. Coach, 22 00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:18,240 Speaker 1: tell us how yesterday was because it was a day 23 00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:19,880 Speaker 1: off of the players, how did you spend the time? 24 00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,120 Speaker 1: Wou'd you get done? Well? You look forward to that 25 00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:27,039 Speaker 1: Furst day off. You're right for the players rests coaches 26 00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:29,440 Speaker 1: a little bit too. You know, we put in a 27 00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:32,440 Speaker 1: few good days last week and then just you know, 28 00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:34,640 Speaker 1: prepping for the rest of the week was coming up. 29 00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:38,520 Speaker 1: I have a chance to really evaluate for good practices. 30 00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:41,000 Speaker 1: So all of that kind of goes into it and 31 00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:44,520 Speaker 1: is always about the next day, prepping for you know 32 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:48,320 Speaker 1: today first padded practice. Things change a little bit today. Coach, 33 00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:50,360 Speaker 1: how much do you miss the good old days of 34 00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:52,920 Speaker 1: two days and having two practices a day versus what 35 00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:54,960 Speaker 1: you're doing now in training camp. You know, it's a 36 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,640 Speaker 1: part of our life now. Yeah, an ideal world, you know, 37 00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:01,240 Speaker 1: as you said, you know, John, there's a time where 38 00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:06,920 Speaker 1: we had nine on seven am and pm and we 39 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:09,680 Speaker 1: had one off day in the seven day period. It's 40 00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:12,600 Speaker 1: a little bit different. We found better ways that make 41 00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:14,680 Speaker 1: a lot more sense to keep you guys healthy. But 42 00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:17,359 Speaker 1: these are the rules, so you adjust to it. When 43 00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:20,240 Speaker 1: you do get a day to have a great padded practice, 44 00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:22,520 Speaker 1: it needs to be a good one. What changes today 45 00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:25,480 Speaker 1: with these padded practices? Now, coach, what are you looking for? Well, 46 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,280 Speaker 1: another contact part? You know, we may you know, we've 47 00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:31,160 Speaker 1: been talking about guys for a long period of time 48 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:34,320 Speaker 1: all season where of course the ramp a week, but 49 00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:36,480 Speaker 1: you can't really tell until you put on the pad. 50 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:38,640 Speaker 1: So for us, but it's not like we're gonna squam 51 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:41,200 Speaker 1: it's the first day and try to you know, blood bath. 52 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,280 Speaker 1: We won't do that, but all of our blocking will 53 00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:48,680 Speaker 1: be live. We won't tackle sacked the quarterback or we'll 54 00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:51,440 Speaker 1: thud up. Everybody in training camp stays up above the 55 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:53,720 Speaker 1: ways for the most part, just to get a chance 56 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,120 Speaker 1: to use the path. Coach, so much of a challenge 57 00:02:56,120 --> 00:03:00,399 Speaker 1: is it for you to make sure the offense understands that, Yeah, 58 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:02,000 Speaker 1: you care about the defense and you're gonna be calling 59 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:05,400 Speaker 1: place for defense. But I care about you guys too. Well, 60 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:08,880 Speaker 1: just with what I do daily, you know, doing the 61 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:11,800 Speaker 1: course of a game, everybody has a role that they're playing. 62 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:16,079 Speaker 1: And once we get to games, our offense, our defense 63 00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:18,400 Speaker 1: will be on the field. I would be involved in that. 64 00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:20,880 Speaker 1: The rest of the time someone else is dealing with 65 00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:23,320 Speaker 1: the rest of the players. So I mean they've seen 66 00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:25,640 Speaker 1: in these situations. I've been doing this a while and 67 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:30,160 Speaker 1: there's plenty of time to concentrate on the business at hand, 68 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:32,840 Speaker 1: on what's going on doing that time. Coach early on 69 00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:35,000 Speaker 1: in camp and I guess we're still pretty early here. 70 00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:38,120 Speaker 1: How do you balance on offense, taking chances and maybe 71 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:40,800 Speaker 1: taking some risks this time of year versus working to 72 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:43,440 Speaker 1: be as fundamentally sound as possible. It always starts with 73 00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:45,160 Speaker 1: the final meals. You don't have a chance. We have 74 00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:48,440 Speaker 1: plenty of time to game playing and attack teams based 75 00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:51,080 Speaker 1: on what we're seeing, but you know, once the season 76 00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:53,160 Speaker 1: starts going short a period of time, you have to 77 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:55,760 Speaker 1: get the final meals right. But at the same time, 78 00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:59,120 Speaker 1: situational football. I think that's the most important thing you 79 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:01,760 Speaker 1: can do doing this time, and it's just you know, 80 00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 1: today will be the first day we'll go at two 81 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:05,240 Speaker 1: minute drill. Most games are one and loss at the 82 00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:07,000 Speaker 1: end of the game. You need to be on top 83 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:09,520 Speaker 1: of all these situations. You have a little bit more 84 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:13,160 Speaker 1: time now to really dissect what you're doing. Along with 85 00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:16,040 Speaker 1: having great fundamentals, there's time to get it all in. 86 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:18,839 Speaker 1: Coach I know as a player you loved the first 87 00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:20,840 Speaker 1: day in pads, just loved it. All that talking that 88 00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:22,839 Speaker 1: guys did you finally got to settle it from the 89 00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:25,800 Speaker 1: pads on. For a coach, how important is the first 90 00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:28,360 Speaker 1: day in pads? It is important because it's just a 91 00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:30,960 Speaker 1: different mindset when you know that you're not going to 92 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:34,080 Speaker 1: be hit and then when you as opposed to when 93 00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:37,120 Speaker 1: there's a good chance I could be hit, and today 94 00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:40,320 Speaker 1: it's not a good chance every play. Like for our lines, 95 00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,840 Speaker 1: there's a hard contact every play linebackers Front seven is 96 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:47,520 Speaker 1: contact every play. So that in it sale tells you 97 00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:51,120 Speaker 1: and people I found people start, you know, John, they 98 00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:54,360 Speaker 1: start separating all awful lot once you get to these days. 99 00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:56,440 Speaker 1: Interesting coach, One more for you. We noticed you were 100 00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:59,440 Speaker 1: talking to the officials before our conversation here. What does 101 00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:02,280 Speaker 1: that conversa station like? What can you share with us well? 102 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:05,600 Speaker 1: As part againting game ready is as for you know, 103 00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:09,240 Speaker 1: you know I can be an official if I need 104 00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:11,360 Speaker 1: you to. You know, most kid coaches say I can 105 00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:13,839 Speaker 1: do that job, but you need guys that really do 106 00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:16,240 Speaker 1: it for a living. We'll have officials from now on 107 00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:19,000 Speaker 1: every day at practice and as I say, we're gonna 108 00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:21,479 Speaker 1: finish where two minute drill the day and for them 109 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:23,880 Speaker 1: to go through the operation and for us, for our 110 00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:28,400 Speaker 1: guys to see it means a lot too. When you 111 00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:31,160 Speaker 1: and there's a play and you see a flag, go 112 00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:35,560 Speaker 1: go down on the ground to reinforce things you can't do. 113 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:37,720 Speaker 1: So the officials are a big part of what we're 114 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:40,440 Speaker 1: doing too. Coach likes a lot, have a great practice anytime, man, 115 00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:44,080 Speaker 1: take care? All right. That's Lovey Smith moments ago. We 116 00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:46,920 Speaker 1: caught up with him moments before we got on the air. 117 00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:50,159 Speaker 1: In fact, during the Nico Sarrio conversation with Sean and Seth, 118 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:52,479 Speaker 1: john and I visited with Loveye Smith. He would have 119 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:55,279 Speaker 1: come on live, but practice starts today and our show 120 00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:59,600 Speaker 1: starts today, and priorities, priorities, Johnny, I can appreciate it, though, 121 00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:02,000 Speaker 1: I can totally. I can totally appreciate it because look, 122 00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:05,680 Speaker 1: I know people say, well, it's stretching to start practice. Yeah, 123 00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:07,720 Speaker 1: but you know when I did the most discussion with 124 00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:10,760 Speaker 1: my players just going around to like, hey, yeah, you 125 00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:12,880 Speaker 1: clear what we're doing today. You know that when we 126 00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:14,520 Speaker 1: go now at seven today, you know, I want to 127 00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:16,680 Speaker 1: see it from you. This is when you do it. 128 00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:18,760 Speaker 1: And stretching lines. So I can imagine that's a that's 129 00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:21,360 Speaker 1: a pretty important part for a head coach. And that's 130 00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:23,840 Speaker 1: why I asked him the question about how does the 131 00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:28,360 Speaker 1: offense perceive you? Because as you're watching and I think 132 00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:30,200 Speaker 1: about this as I'm watching practice, like love, he's got 133 00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:32,440 Speaker 1: to feel pretty good because the defense on on Saturday 134 00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:35,080 Speaker 1: had clamps going. I mean they were great. A lot 135 00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:37,080 Speaker 1: of checkdowns, not the worst thing, but a lot of 136 00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:40,040 Speaker 1: checkdowns because it coverage. I will defend the checkdown, no, no, 137 00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:41,919 Speaker 1: and I did later on in my article too, But 138 00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:44,039 Speaker 1: I'm just saying the defense, even if you're not getting 139 00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:46,520 Speaker 1: picks in practice, you're not getting the takeaways in practice, 140 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:50,200 Speaker 1: you are forcing the quarterback into what you want them 141 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:52,000 Speaker 1: to do. And I thought that it's gotta make love 142 00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:54,920 Speaker 1: you feel good this guy as the defensive play caller, 143 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:57,560 Speaker 1: but as the head coach, how does it feel about that? 144 00:06:57,680 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 1: And that that was kind of where where all that 145 00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:02,680 Speaker 1: came from. But first day in pads, it's always a 146 00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:05,599 Speaker 1: fun day. His head locker room turns into a bleep show, 147 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,520 Speaker 1: a bleep talking show. I mean everybody's just talking, Oh man, 148 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:10,040 Speaker 1: wait to get pet And then all of a sudden, 149 00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:12,559 Speaker 1: it's like, I'm gonna hide in the back of the line. 150 00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:14,600 Speaker 1: They're always guys hide in the back of the line, 151 00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:17,200 Speaker 1: and the guys that this is how I knew when 152 00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:19,440 Speaker 1: I was coaching that I had made strides with my 153 00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:21,920 Speaker 1: guys because I would always start off with back in 154 00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,160 Speaker 1: the day, you can do Oklahoma. Let's start Oklahoma. And 155 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:25,800 Speaker 1: we did it my first year and guys are kind 156 00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:27,560 Speaker 1: of like, I don't know, I'm not too sure. By 157 00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:29,360 Speaker 1: the time we did it, when those guys were seniors, 158 00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:31,760 Speaker 1: dudes were fighting to be in the first group. It's 159 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:34,040 Speaker 1: like fighting to get in it. So it's still different 160 00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:35,640 Speaker 1: NFL low because these guys are gonna do it. It's 161 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:38,360 Speaker 1: such a marathon. Today. We're not gonna see that. No, 162 00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:40,840 Speaker 1: you won't because it's outlawed. Now, yeah, I think all 163 00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:42,360 Speaker 1: over the place it's outlawed. But there are ways you 164 00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:44,640 Speaker 1: can come up with a pseudo Oklahoma signed goal line. 165 00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:47,600 Speaker 1: We're gonna see the Trittity trill, not the Oklahoma trill. No, 166 00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:49,680 Speaker 1: they we'll see some other things today. We're really looking 167 00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:52,680 Speaker 1: forward to it, looking forward to your Harris Hits article 168 00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:56,800 Speaker 1: later and observations during this show because Johnny gives us 169 00:07:56,840 --> 00:08:00,400 Speaker 1: them along the way as he watches some practice. So 170 00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:02,400 Speaker 1: that's gonna be fun. Now we've got to get to 171 00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:04,720 Speaker 1: what happened on Saturday and what we're looking for today. 172 00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:07,040 Speaker 1: The news of the day in the NFL is the 173 00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:12,120 Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson suspension six games independently given there's a chance 174 00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:13,800 Speaker 1: for an appeal. I don't know the latest on that, 175 00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:15,720 Speaker 1: if that's broken yet or not, if there's not going 176 00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:17,080 Speaker 1: to be one, if there is going to be one. 177 00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:19,400 Speaker 1: The bottom line is this, you're gonna see Deshaun Watson 178 00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:22,400 Speaker 1: here if he's healthy when the Cleveland Browns come visit 179 00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:24,800 Speaker 1: the thirteenth game of the year, and that'll be at 180 00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:28,880 Speaker 1: NRG Stadium, and that'll be a really exciting day. It 181 00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:32,160 Speaker 1: has a lot behind it, as we all know, and 182 00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:34,079 Speaker 1: there's really not a lot to say. This is pretty 183 00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:36,960 Speaker 1: much what my prediction was early and then when a 184 00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:40,280 Speaker 1: lot of news was breaking after the trade. About a 185 00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:42,000 Speaker 1: month or two after the trade, I thought this thing 186 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:44,680 Speaker 1: could go longer. But then you started to feel like 187 00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:48,920 Speaker 1: after the league presented its case independently, then you felt like, Okay, 188 00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:50,800 Speaker 1: it's probably gonna be six to eight. And that's six, 189 00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:52,920 Speaker 1: so we'll deal with it, and they'll deal with it, 190 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:54,600 Speaker 1: and the world will deal with it, and the Texans 191 00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:58,240 Speaker 1: are dealing with themselves. They are moving on. Two quick things. 192 00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:02,280 Speaker 1: One NFL is three days to appeal, right, so Roger 193 00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:04,840 Speaker 1: Goodell in the NFL can actually appeal. That's suspension from 194 00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:08,920 Speaker 1: an independent arbiter arbitrator like you talked about. And the 195 00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:13,040 Speaker 1: second thing was I just blank on the second thing. Well, 196 00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:17,679 Speaker 1: the head two things, three days appeal, three days to appeal, right. 197 00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:19,839 Speaker 1: Oh the unions, no, no, no no, no, no no. The 198 00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:22,280 Speaker 1: legal aspect, he settled three more of the case, so 199 00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:25,679 Speaker 1: there's still one case that's that's remaining. Yeah. Um, And 200 00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:28,559 Speaker 1: having talked to to Rusty harden plenty about this, I 201 00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:30,439 Speaker 1: would imagine that one might be out there for a while. 202 00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:32,439 Speaker 1: Oh mightbe one that's out there for a while, So 203 00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:34,360 Speaker 1: we'll see. But those are the those are kind of 204 00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:37,320 Speaker 1: the facts that go with this situation. In my mind, 205 00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:39,600 Speaker 1: I'd already anticipated he's gonna be here in December, So 206 00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:43,079 Speaker 1: rock on, best luck, shake hands, move on. He's a Brown. 207 00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:44,959 Speaker 1: We got this team. You've been pretty excited about what 208 00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,079 Speaker 1: the team is building, not only for the now but 209 00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:49,480 Speaker 1: for the future. And we get excited about that, and 210 00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:52,319 Speaker 1: exactly we've said this all along. Legal situation can we 211 00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:55,360 Speaker 1: talk about it? Legal situations settled? I was suspension is here? 212 00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:58,040 Speaker 1: We move on? Yeah, and I understand why it's such 213 00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:00,480 Speaker 1: a mega story. Come on, it's gotten so much coverage 214 00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:03,000 Speaker 1: you can't stay away from it. But as far as 215 00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:06,120 Speaker 1: this organization is concerned, you felt the moving on occurring, 216 00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:08,959 Speaker 1: and long ago, even last year, people still ask me, well, 217 00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:10,640 Speaker 1: how weird was it? Yeah, it was kind of weird 218 00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:12,719 Speaker 1: because the media would shoot that walk through every day. 219 00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:14,760 Speaker 1: But here's the thing they walk by every day, by 220 00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:17,320 Speaker 1: number four into the bubble and whatever else was happening. 221 00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:20,640 Speaker 1: But we said it last year. The team was preparing 222 00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:24,320 Speaker 1: to play a season and every individual involved was focusing 223 00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:26,480 Speaker 1: on their job. And look, they opened with a big 224 00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:28,280 Speaker 1: win over Jacksonville. I hope it wasn't the year they 225 00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:30,839 Speaker 1: wanted to have, but there were some moments there and 226 00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:33,840 Speaker 1: they're gonna build on those moments. Right now, Davis Mills 227 00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:37,079 Speaker 1: miles eons ahead of where he was last year at 228 00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:39,120 Speaker 1: this time. Think about that for a moment. A week 229 00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:41,440 Speaker 1: into camp. We're not even a full week into camp, Johnny, 230 00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:44,120 Speaker 1: where was Mills at this point? Last year versus where 231 00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:46,080 Speaker 1: he is this year. Well, I remember coming on the 232 00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:50,600 Speaker 1: air on Monday after the Saturday practice Tyra Taylor. I 233 00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:53,000 Speaker 1: can't remember where ty had been, but he wasn't there. 234 00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:55,160 Speaker 1: He wasn't there, and David said to take over the 235 00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:59,160 Speaker 1: reins and it was interception palooza and it was just 236 00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:02,080 Speaker 1: it was not It was interceptions on throws that you 237 00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:04,880 Speaker 1: learned day one, and he just struggled and it became 238 00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:08,720 Speaker 1: a talking point and it became a narrative. There's difference 239 00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:10,720 Speaker 1: to the talking point a narrative because the talking point 240 00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:12,559 Speaker 1: you talk about you get in a boom, is done. 241 00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:15,240 Speaker 1: But a narrative sticks, and it sticks for a while 242 00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:17,880 Speaker 1: and people can't get away from it. And that was 243 00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:19,800 Speaker 1: the thing that bothered me about it was he was 244 00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:24,120 Speaker 1: showing progress after that day. In fact, there was one 245 00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:25,800 Speaker 1: day where he ended up with the ones again doing 246 00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:27,920 Speaker 1: a two minutes rail and he rocked it. But that 247 00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:30,760 Speaker 1: narrative stuck for him for a long time. And because 248 00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:33,360 Speaker 1: out of the airways or behind our computers or whatever 249 00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:35,720 Speaker 1: might be sending the message out to the fans, the 250 00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:37,640 Speaker 1: fans are like, well, you know, Davis Mills this, But 251 00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:39,920 Speaker 1: then you started watching him and in the games showed 252 00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:41,960 Speaker 1: some good things. Obviously, it wasn't where he needed to be. 253 00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:43,679 Speaker 1: When he came back in the starting lineup, that's when 254 00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:46,120 Speaker 1: you saw it all sort of come together at that 255 00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:48,840 Speaker 1: point and he started to show what he could be. 256 00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:54,240 Speaker 1: He is light years where he was. He has light 257 00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:57,040 Speaker 1: years to go, and that's a good thing. That's a 258 00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:59,280 Speaker 1: great thing. Actually, there are still some things that he 259 00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:02,480 Speaker 1: can be doing to make himself better and improve, and 260 00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:04,720 Speaker 1: I think he knows that. Going back and watching the 261 00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:07,439 Speaker 1: film on Saturday, I'm sure from Saturday's practice, I'm sure 262 00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:11,199 Speaker 1: he definitely sees some throws he can make. If there's 263 00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:15,000 Speaker 1: one thing for Davison going back and watching myself the 264 00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:18,000 Speaker 1: film on Saturday and watching it from all like four 265 00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:23,200 Speaker 1: different angles, there's during the season, in those games that 266 00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:26,120 Speaker 1: he had against the Patriots, the Chargers, and the Titans, 267 00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:29,240 Speaker 1: there was this sort of John Daley Grippe and rip 268 00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:31,679 Speaker 1: it sort of philosophy or so, it seemed like there 269 00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:33,800 Speaker 1: was no throw that he didn't think he could make 270 00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:35,760 Speaker 1: that day, and then he would make it. He would 271 00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:37,719 Speaker 1: drop a dime on the over route to Danny and 272 00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:41,040 Speaker 1: Danny Ambdelo make a great catch there was no route. 273 00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:42,600 Speaker 1: I mean late in the game against the Chargers, he's 274 00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:44,760 Speaker 1: feeling it so much that he audibles, Well, he didn't 275 00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:47,080 Speaker 1: really audible. He made a sight of just Taniko on 276 00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:49,000 Speaker 1: the backside of that glance route and he ends up 277 00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:50,559 Speaker 1: in the end zone. That's a run play. You want 278 00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:52,560 Speaker 1: to run a clock out and he checks. So I 279 00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:55,320 Speaker 1: think there's a there's a confidence mechanism there and sometimes 280 00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:58,040 Speaker 1: he sort of falls into this. I gotta be a 281 00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:02,880 Speaker 1: little bit safer with this as opposed to get a rip. Yeah, 282 00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:06,959 Speaker 1: let it go. Ask the question though this time of year, 283 00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:10,520 Speaker 1: balancing that let it rip and being so fundamentally sound 284 00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:12,800 Speaker 1: because I haven't seen a pick yet. I don't think 285 00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:16,000 Speaker 1: I have. Well, I mean in I don't know if 286 00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:18,080 Speaker 1: I have. And you know, maybe you see one today 287 00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:19,480 Speaker 1: and it's not the end of the world if you do. 288 00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:21,920 Speaker 1: But the point is this, they're taking care of the football, 289 00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:24,560 Speaker 1: and I think the philosophy is not that they're gonna 290 00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:26,400 Speaker 1: be three yards at a cloud of dust, okay, folks, 291 00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:28,520 Speaker 1: or the NFL version of that in twenty twenty two. 292 00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:31,120 Speaker 1: But I think there's an element of let's take care 293 00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:33,600 Speaker 1: of the ball because we're gonna get takeaways, and we'll 294 00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:35,679 Speaker 1: win a lot of games just being mistake free as 295 00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:38,120 Speaker 1: possible on offense because our defense is going to cause 296 00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:39,560 Speaker 1: a lot of mistakes and we'll get to them in 297 00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:43,040 Speaker 1: a moment. But I kind of like this fundamentally sound approach. 298 00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:45,800 Speaker 1: We'll see how well the running game, how well they 299 00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:48,240 Speaker 1: do today. It's just step one in pads, so you 300 00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:49,880 Speaker 1: get a long way to go again. Well, that's a 301 00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:52,840 Speaker 1: that's a great, great part. That's a big part of this. 302 00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:56,839 Speaker 1: And that's a great point. Mark the fact that Jimmy 303 00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:58,640 Speaker 1: Groppolig has brought a lot here because a lot of 304 00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:00,560 Speaker 1: rumors about trades here and all that kind of stuff. 305 00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:03,160 Speaker 1: Let's say Jimmy's not a bad quarterback and a great couart. 306 00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:05,240 Speaker 1: This is really the point. But Jimmy doesn't have to 307 00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:08,600 Speaker 1: do a whole lot in San Francisco because they have 308 00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:12,040 Speaker 1: that running game. They can find different ways to hurt 309 00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:13,880 Speaker 1: you in the running game. That Garoppolo can throw it 310 00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:16,440 Speaker 1: ten times in an NFC championship game and you win 311 00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:19,280 Speaker 1: buy three touchdowns because the defensive stout the run game 312 00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:21,240 Speaker 1: is amazing. So the quarterback doesn't have to do a 313 00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:25,080 Speaker 1: whole lot. The whole game managers sort of thing. I 314 00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:27,600 Speaker 1: think Davis can be beyond that. I don't think he 315 00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:30,080 Speaker 1: has to be the game manager. I would like to 316 00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:32,720 Speaker 1: see him with a little bit more. Let's get a 317 00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:34,840 Speaker 1: little bit you know, freak here, let's you know, let's 318 00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:36,880 Speaker 1: try a few things. Because there's a couple of times 319 00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:39,000 Speaker 1: that I saw him where he he cocked a throw 320 00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:40,560 Speaker 1: and then he would think about it and then bring 321 00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:43,040 Speaker 1: it back down. Now, the flip side of that is 322 00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:45,720 Speaker 1: taking the smart check down. And a great example of 323 00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:48,480 Speaker 1: that was later in practice. They had three receivers to 324 00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:50,200 Speaker 1: the left and they had one of the right, and 325 00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:53,600 Speaker 1: so he's looking left and they're they're clamped, they're all 326 00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:56,760 Speaker 1: they're dead. So he goes to the other side, and 327 00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:58,720 Speaker 1: as he flips and goes to the other side, boom, 328 00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:02,360 Speaker 1: there's Rex popping out. Checked his linebacker, checked his protection, 329 00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:05,240 Speaker 1: and he popped out in flat. And as David's checked 330 00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:07,760 Speaker 1: back the other way he saw Rex, boom, gave it 331 00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:09,640 Speaker 1: to him. Is a first down play. Gave it to him. 332 00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:13,320 Speaker 1: Rex doesn't get touched to these five yards downfield, so 333 00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:16,200 Speaker 1: you got some yardage fights through a tackle or falls forward, 334 00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:19,560 Speaker 1: it's eight yards on first down. So checkdowns aren't always bad. Well, 335 00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:22,120 Speaker 1: how many times I'm gonna bring up something you always 336 00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:25,600 Speaker 1: said during the four era, which was so okay to 337 00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:29,000 Speaker 1: make the big play, it's awesome, right, take the pocket change, Well, 338 00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:33,240 Speaker 1: take take that, Yes, that accumulating interest, all right, take 339 00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:35,640 Speaker 1: those five yard games. And you know who else does that. 340 00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:37,600 Speaker 1: Look I'm not saying he's Tom Brady, but Tom Brady 341 00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:40,960 Speaker 1: does that. Sometimes it's very unspectacular. Four yards here, six 342 00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:43,360 Speaker 1: yards there, and then they'll hit the big one. So, yes, 343 00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:44,760 Speaker 1: they've got to be able to hit the big plays, 344 00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:47,520 Speaker 1: we get it. But positive yardage, how many times does 345 00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:49,600 Speaker 1: this team in second and twelve last year? You can't 346 00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:54,240 Speaker 1: have that, right, And to that end a couple of caveats. 347 00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:57,200 Speaker 1: Number one, with the Sean, I sort of wanted him 348 00:15:57,200 --> 00:15:58,760 Speaker 1: to think a little bit that way because the Shawan 349 00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:01,720 Speaker 1: was always I'm written, I'm ripping this thing. So Sean 350 00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:03,400 Speaker 1: had to think a little bit the other way. Yeah, 351 00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:06,520 Speaker 1: Whereas with Davis, I think it's more, you know, he's 352 00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:08,920 Speaker 1: always thinking about profit as opposed to you know what, 353 00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:11,360 Speaker 1: maybe I can get a little greedier on this one. 354 00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:14,400 Speaker 1: The other aspect is check a down on first down. 355 00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:19,400 Speaker 1: It's inexcusable. To take a loss on first down inexcusable. Now, 356 00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:22,160 Speaker 1: there are going to be times where they they bring 357 00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:24,800 Speaker 1: six on a blitz and you miss it. Bring you know, 358 00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:28,600 Speaker 1: bring you know an extra guy, or you know, somebody 359 00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:35,000 Speaker 1: just gets beat. But the point being, you should, I 360 00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:36,720 Speaker 1: want to say, never take a loss on first down. 361 00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:39,880 Speaker 1: It's inexcusable to take any loss on first down. You 362 00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:42,600 Speaker 1: should not be second and fifteen unless something just completely 363 00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:44,920 Speaker 1: breaks down. You should throw a ball away, you should 364 00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:47,560 Speaker 1: throw your check down. You should get something out of 365 00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:50,600 Speaker 1: the run game on first down. Something And how many 366 00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:53,160 Speaker 1: never did we see where they were behind the chains? 367 00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:55,760 Speaker 1: And is always talking about it during the broadcast. How 368 00:16:56,280 --> 00:17:00,120 Speaker 1: it's incredibly difficult for any quarterback to be productive that way, 369 00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:02,760 Speaker 1: but especially for a rookie last year. Now he's a 370 00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:06,200 Speaker 1: second year guy in Davis Mills. All right, defense, we're 371 00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:08,080 Speaker 1: gonna keep it simple here. In the first segment, we 372 00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:10,520 Speaker 1: did some offense and we have more to do. Let's 373 00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:13,399 Speaker 1: do some defense here, because all right, here's my feeling. 374 00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:15,119 Speaker 1: And you tell me if I'm right on this. You 375 00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:17,639 Speaker 1: got Lovey Smith. He coached the defense last year they 376 00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:19,680 Speaker 1: were top third and takeaways. I know the other numbers 377 00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:22,120 Speaker 1: aren't so good. But you know how I feel about that. 378 00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:25,239 Speaker 1: It's sands of the hourglass. It's the balancing scales. If 379 00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:28,960 Speaker 1: your offense is better, if your offense can be somewhat productive, 380 00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:31,359 Speaker 1: hold out of the ball, keep you on the field. 381 00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:33,600 Speaker 1: You know, your defense is so much better. When they're 382 00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:36,200 Speaker 1: watching the game, they're awesome when they watch the game. 383 00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:39,440 Speaker 1: Nobody's gaining anything on them when they are spectators. And 384 00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:41,240 Speaker 1: the offense has a lot to do with that. And 385 00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:43,919 Speaker 1: the great defense is in this league often have that 386 00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:46,560 Speaker 1: going for them. They've got a pretty good offense helping 387 00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:50,320 Speaker 1: them out. Here's the other thing I'm looking at this D. Hey, 388 00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:52,720 Speaker 1: last year they were okay. If the offense is better 389 00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:54,760 Speaker 1: on last year's D, they're gonna be that much better. 390 00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:56,800 Speaker 1: And I don't know how much better, but they'll be better. 391 00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:00,679 Speaker 1: But they've got more talent. Now they've added talent, the 392 00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:03,040 Speaker 1: offense will be better. You still have the same guy 393 00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:05,720 Speaker 1: coaching them. I'd like that. Yeah, I like it too. 394 00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:07,639 Speaker 1: I like the continuity factor. And here's the thing, and 395 00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:13,920 Speaker 1: different coaches throughout time. You know, Shanahan does this on offense, 396 00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:16,520 Speaker 1: they'll check does this on defense. Yeah, love, he does 397 00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:19,480 Speaker 1: this on defense. Every defense has an Achilles heel. Let's 398 00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:24,920 Speaker 1: be clear, every single one has an Achilles heel. Everyone 399 00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:27,920 Speaker 1: you play cover three, you run four. Virtue, you can't 400 00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:31,600 Speaker 1: cover all four? Got three covering deep everything. Cover two's 401 00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:35,240 Speaker 1: got its holes. Cover one they're man beaters, they're Every 402 00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:39,320 Speaker 1: defense has an Achilles heal. Every offense has an Achilles heel. 403 00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:44,000 Speaker 1: Show that here. The point being what you want to 404 00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:46,280 Speaker 1: be able to do is if you are sharp and 405 00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:51,320 Speaker 1: perfect in your particular defense, you're making the offense have 406 00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:55,359 Speaker 1: to be absolutely on point. So if you're playing Cover two, 407 00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:59,000 Speaker 1: you know where the holes are as a defense, but 408 00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:03,080 Speaker 1: you're challenging the quarterback to hit that throw. That throw 409 00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:05,080 Speaker 1: in the hole and then might not be your route. 410 00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:07,520 Speaker 1: You may not have anybody going deep in the hole, 411 00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:11,160 Speaker 1: but you're you're challenging that quarterback. Are you gonna take 412 00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:13,439 Speaker 1: that rip? Are you gonna rip that thing into the 413 00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:16,520 Speaker 1: hole right there where Stingley might be and there's Petrie 414 00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:18,159 Speaker 1: over the top. You're gonna trying to stick it in 415 00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:20,800 Speaker 1: between those athletes? Oh man, maybe I'm gonna think twice 416 00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:23,920 Speaker 1: and that half a second is what enough to get 417 00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:26,600 Speaker 1: the pass rush there. So all of it works in concert, 418 00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:31,320 Speaker 1: but you're gonna have those particular Achilles heels in any 419 00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:33,919 Speaker 1: defense at that point. But what Lovey has done a 420 00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:37,040 Speaker 1: really good job of is exposing his guys to this 421 00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:39,520 Speaker 1: is where your saft spots are. Yea, this is where 422 00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:41,919 Speaker 1: teams are gonna try and attack and use that to 423 00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:46,000 Speaker 1: your advantage. You can bait quarterbacks into making those throws. 424 00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:47,800 Speaker 1: And I've seen I saw it from Derek Stingley the 425 00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:50,000 Speaker 1: other day. He had a tremendous cover and I can't 426 00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:52,000 Speaker 1: remember the receiver was. He had a tremendous cover, but 427 00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:54,520 Speaker 1: I saw you didn't break fully on the on the 428 00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:57,560 Speaker 1: dB on the wide receiver. I was rating back and 429 00:19:57,600 --> 00:19:59,120 Speaker 1: I was watching it. I was like, what's you doing? 430 00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:01,159 Speaker 1: And then I realized, Oh, he wants a quarterback to 431 00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:04,920 Speaker 1: throw it. Then he'll oh he's baiting him, debating him. Yeah, 432 00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:07,320 Speaker 1: it's like he's like a cat, like right right, Wait, 433 00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:10,000 Speaker 1: he started to break in and I saw him pause 434 00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:12,200 Speaker 1: and was like, why would he pause? He's waiting five 435 00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:14,480 Speaker 1: first quarterback was smart he didn't throw it, but but 436 00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:16,040 Speaker 1: Staying would have picked that one off. All right, we're 437 00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:18,159 Speaker 1: not doing position group breakdown here, but I want a 438 00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:22,040 Speaker 1: couple of thumbnails Okay, you know, quickies on, I'm gonna 439 00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:24,760 Speaker 1: name a guy and you tell me something so far, okay, 440 00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:28,080 Speaker 1: and you started it with Stingley. Anything else on Derek 441 00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:30,000 Speaker 1: so far? Because we know he's still coming back, but 442 00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:32,480 Speaker 1: he's doing more and more all the time. Smooth fluid, 443 00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:36,120 Speaker 1: still trying to get his feet literally in figuratively underneath him. 444 00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:39,159 Speaker 1: I think, um, the routes in front of him, dig's curls, 445 00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:41,040 Speaker 1: those kind of things. He's gonna get accustomed to plan 446 00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:42,760 Speaker 1: a little bit better. But we haven't seen him in 447 00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:43,919 Speaker 1: man coverage, and I think that's one of the things 448 00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:46,400 Speaker 1: he does well. But man is he's smooth. Boy's fun 449 00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:48,400 Speaker 1: to watch. I see why he went number three overall. Next, 450 00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:53,040 Speaker 1: all right, Petrie John McClean standing in front of me. 451 00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:54,600 Speaker 1: I should let him answer this, but it is just 452 00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:57,879 Speaker 1: a he's the greatest safety in the history other than 453 00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:00,240 Speaker 1: Ken Houston. Of course. I love what he's able to do. 454 00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:02,560 Speaker 1: You know, we've we've seen we even tell you O'Brian 455 00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:04,679 Speaker 1: offense do this when they wanted five yards. It was 456 00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:07,640 Speaker 1: hop on the speed out right. I've seen Petree from 457 00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:12,480 Speaker 1: his safety position inside well inside that primitive receiver drop 458 00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:14,880 Speaker 1: in front of that and knock that throwaway. I seem 459 00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:17,800 Speaker 1: nearly impossible. He is fun to watch. He's singularly going 460 00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:19,119 Speaker 1: to be back there for a while together. That's a 461 00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:22,840 Speaker 1: good thing. Next, Rashime Green, don't you get me started. 462 00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:25,920 Speaker 1: Do not even get me started about the excitement Rashime Green. 463 00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:28,959 Speaker 1: I said when they signed him, I thought that was 464 00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:32,720 Speaker 1: arguably not the best draft pick that had, but pretty 465 00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:36,359 Speaker 1: darn't close. I loved Rashime Green. I love to come 466 00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:38,320 Speaker 1: out to USC but he was young. I'm worried about that, 467 00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:40,920 Speaker 1: but I was like his second team. We're the second team, 468 00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:43,760 Speaker 1: and he's starting to show it inside outside. He is 469 00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:45,800 Speaker 1: really tough and fun to watch. When you see him, 470 00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:48,159 Speaker 1: he looks like a cyborg. Next, we know there's a 471 00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:50,199 Speaker 1: lot of guys up front on that D line, So 472 00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:53,200 Speaker 1: if everybody's healthy, give me a percentage of snaps. Jerry 473 00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:56,160 Speaker 1: Hughes plays if it's forty to forty five. But their 474 00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:58,679 Speaker 1: pass rush downs, it's fine, okay. I mean there was 475 00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:00,080 Speaker 1: a pass for rush set the other day where they 476 00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:03,160 Speaker 1: had Jerry next to Malik Rachine Green inside and outside 477 00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:05,600 Speaker 1: was Mario Addison and they're looping and stunting and doing 478 00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:08,199 Speaker 1: and that's like whoa. I mean, they didn't pads on. 479 00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:10,800 Speaker 1: I'm just like, yo, this could be fun. And that's 480 00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:12,280 Speaker 1: not even have a good art out there. That's not 481 00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:15,040 Speaker 1: bringing Blitz, that's not with Roy out there. I mean, 482 00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:17,240 Speaker 1: there's just so many different things that they could do, 483 00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:20,760 Speaker 1: and that's what Rashime Green allows them to do. You 484 00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:23,080 Speaker 1: slide him inside. He could beat guards with quickness, and 485 00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:24,719 Speaker 1: that's what he did. He beat the guard with quickness 486 00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:27,639 Speaker 1: and then Addison looped in behind him and he was free. 487 00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:30,080 Speaker 1: So I think he gap some fun with that front. 488 00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:33,040 Speaker 1: And Green is a big X factor in that, all right, 489 00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:35,879 Speaker 1: Kara Wallow, He's covering as about as well as I've 490 00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:39,200 Speaker 1: seen a lot backer cover. First play in half line 491 00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:41,960 Speaker 1: seven out seventy other day, he drops, he takes away 492 00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:44,080 Speaker 1: the inside snagger out that settle up and then all 493 00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:47,320 Speaker 1: of a sudden he sees a route the Connolly's hitching 494 00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:50,960 Speaker 1: up in between Petrie and him. Wallow sees Davis hand 495 00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:53,320 Speaker 1: come off, the ball takes off like a shot, dives 496 00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:55,879 Speaker 1: knocks it away and I thought, ball, He's done a 497 00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:58,080 Speaker 1: lot and he is in total command out there. Gary 498 00:22:58,080 --> 00:22:59,720 Speaker 1: Wallo is gonna mess around to be a starter. On 499 00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:02,160 Speaker 1: this teafore too long. Thirty two is a slimming number. 500 00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:04,240 Speaker 1: I love it. It is. Man, if you want to 501 00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:06,640 Speaker 1: look thinner at the office, we're a number thirty two 502 00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:09,760 Speaker 1: to the office, thirty two Jersey. It'll make you look slimmer. 503 00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:14,080 Speaker 1: So I highly recommend that Nico Collins Nicos look good. 504 00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:17,800 Speaker 1: He's looked really good as we expected. He's not gotten 505 00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:22,240 Speaker 1: as many targets as I'd like him to get during practice, 506 00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:24,440 Speaker 1: but I'm okay with that. Now. They haven't done any 507 00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:26,359 Speaker 1: red zone where he just puts guys to shame. He 508 00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:27,879 Speaker 1: just mosses them over here in the corner of the 509 00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:30,040 Speaker 1: end zones. Hopefully that's something they do in pads today. 510 00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:33,320 Speaker 1: Be so physical he gets to his route point, I'd 511 00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:34,480 Speaker 1: like to see him get to the top of his 512 00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:37,000 Speaker 1: route just a little little bit quicker. I think getting 513 00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:38,959 Speaker 1: to the top of his route a little bit quicker 514 00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:42,240 Speaker 1: would have gotten him over the last few days, probably 515 00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:44,200 Speaker 1: three or four, three and will four more catches and 516 00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:50,760 Speaker 1: team Pierce cool boys got feet now his feet not today. 517 00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:53,760 Speaker 1: I said this. I made this claim during OTAs in 518 00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:55,960 Speaker 1: mini camps. I said this to you, and I said 519 00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:58,320 Speaker 1: it on the air. You can lock this one up. 520 00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:01,080 Speaker 1: Put it in a bank one hundred percent. Nevill Hewett 521 00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:03,480 Speaker 1: and Damian Pierce will hit today and it will be 522 00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:06,640 Speaker 1: a sound that reverberates throughout this entire place. Those two 523 00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:10,000 Speaker 1: will collide today and it's gonna be nasty. But his 524 00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:12,640 Speaker 1: feet are so quick. I don't think I even gave 525 00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:14,440 Speaker 1: him credit for that. They've used him a lot in 526 00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:17,399 Speaker 1: the passing game as opposed to they're not running as 527 00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:18,800 Speaker 1: much in the pads on But today it will be 528 00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:21,720 Speaker 1: an interesting day. And nine on seven, how he delivers 529 00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:23,960 Speaker 1: and runs behind his pads is gonna be one of 530 00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:27,560 Speaker 1: the things I'm definitely watching. What about Marlon Mack. Haven't 531 00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:32,120 Speaker 1: seen too much of Marlon and I really, honestly having 532 00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:35,400 Speaker 1: cared about it till today. Okay, how today he's got 533 00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:37,000 Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of rust to shake off 534 00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:40,520 Speaker 1: in pads.

Maybe he could be, but I is searching 629 00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:52,120 Speaker 1: for on Google.

They 631 00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:58,880 Speaker 1: look good in all white. Liberty White kickoff September eleventh 632 00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:02,040 Speaker 1: against the Indian Apples Cults. Tickets on the app at 633 00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:04,080 Speaker 1: Houston Tections dot Com. I got a quickie. Were the 634 00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:07,560 Speaker 1: red lids on Saturday, and the quarterbacks were red, the 635 00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:11,120 Speaker 1: offense wars blue, and the defense wore white. I thought, 636 00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:14,160 Speaker 1: I thought the red helmet. I think they all look 637 00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:16,360 Speaker 1: good at the red helmet, all right, So they can't 638 00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:19,000 Speaker 1: do that, I know in the game, because it's all 639 00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:21,520 Speaker 1: about the jersey. Now, pants don't matter. This is what 640 00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:24,760 Speaker 1: I've learned. The pants don't matter. Pants usually do matter, 641 00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:27,440 Speaker 1: but the pants don't matter in an NFL uniform. They 642 00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:31,200 Speaker 1: care about your alternate jersey matching up with the alternate helmet, 643 00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:33,720 Speaker 1: and Liberty white is not an alternate jersey. I don't 644 00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:35,520 Speaker 1: know why. You know, if it's all approved, let the 645 00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:37,280 Speaker 1: teams do whatever they want as long as we'll get 646 00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:39,720 Speaker 1: everything gets pre approved. Like you can't come out there 647 00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:43,440 Speaker 1: in like chrome with a you know, satanic worshiping thing, 648 00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:45,800 Speaker 1: I don't know, like something that the league wouldn't like, 649 00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:48,080 Speaker 1: just get it pre approved. But that's not the way 650 00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:50,240 Speaker 1: the league operates. We're going to organize this thing, and 651 00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:54,040 Speaker 1: by organize I mean Oregon Eyes this thing, or Baylor 652 00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:57,880 Speaker 1: this thing, because like all their different colors. Speaking of 653 00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:01,560 Speaker 1: Baylor or Transition, seguage on the plane. Good morning, sir, 654 00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:03,600 Speaker 1: Good morning. I don't give a ratch you know what 655 00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:06,480 Speaker 1: what they're wearing. Okay, but I'm gonna ask. Let me 656 00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:08,960 Speaker 1: say that again. I don't give a ratch you know 657 00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:11,680 Speaker 1: what what they wear. I only care about the players 658 00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:14,280 Speaker 1: wearing them. What's the favorite bay the combo? You gotta 659 00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:16,680 Speaker 1: have one. They got so many nats ridiculous. I can't 660 00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:19,400 Speaker 1: even keep up. Nike puts them out there in colors 661 00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:22,160 Speaker 1: that are not even green and gold. Okay, I don't 662 00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:24,600 Speaker 1: pay any attention. Yeah, I do think you gotta have 663 00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:27,560 Speaker 1: some semblance of tradition. General. All right, let's get to 664 00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:30,480 Speaker 1: the big story of the day. Deshaun Watson suspended six games. 665 00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:33,440 Speaker 1: Your thoughts. He got off lightly. That's what happens when 666 00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:35,280 Speaker 1: you hire one of the best attorneys in the country 667 00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:39,000 Speaker 1: and Rusty Harden, and I'm assuming Roger Goodell will have 668 00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:43,920 Speaker 1: it appealed to him or someone he designates to hear 669 00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:47,440 Speaker 1: the appeal. They have three days, because it's kind of ridiculous. 670 00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:50,640 Speaker 1: He gets the same as DeAndre Opkins, who had a 671 00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:56,320 Speaker 1: trace amount of something to violate substance abuse policy. Somebody listened. 672 00:32:56,360 --> 00:33:00,800 Speaker 1: All the players who've gotten more games than Hopkins got. 673 00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:04,160 Speaker 1: And the truth is, you know, hopkins situation was unprecedented 674 00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:09,280 Speaker 1: in the history watching Yes, thank you, Watson's situation is 675 00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:12,760 Speaker 1: unprecedented in the history of sports at any level. I 676 00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:16,880 Speaker 1: expected something much more significant than a tap on the risk. 677 00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:19,600 Speaker 1: And some people are trying to say, well, he didn't 678 00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:21,680 Speaker 1: play last year, Well he got paid ten point five 679 00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:24,880 Speaker 1: four million, and what's that you said, we'll give it back. 680 00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:27,200 Speaker 1: What's the point he makes two or thirty million guarantee? 681 00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:30,760 Speaker 1: That's chicken feed? John? Do you think and how much 682 00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:35,240 Speaker 1: do you think the public perception of this ruling will 683 00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:37,920 Speaker 1: play into whether the NFL appeals or not. Well, the 684 00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:40,520 Speaker 1: NFL is always aware of the public. I haven't had 685 00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:44,560 Speaker 1: time since it was announced that to see what the 686 00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:47,680 Speaker 1: reaction is. While I've been sitting here listening to you guys, 687 00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:50,960 Speaker 1: have been looking at tweets from people I respect around 688 00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:57,320 Speaker 1: the NFL, like Andrew Brant, Joe banner Field, Yates. They 689 00:33:57,400 --> 00:34:01,000 Speaker 1: all have some really good information. I retweet everybody I 690 00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:04,320 Speaker 1: think that has really good information. And then, but remember 691 00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:07,600 Speaker 1: it's not over now. If Goodell doesn't increase it, he 692 00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:10,759 Speaker 1: is gonna get land based it. But it won't be 693 00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:13,279 Speaker 1: the first time. Well, let me ask you this and 694 00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:15,759 Speaker 1: then we'll go move on to other things. If he 695 00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:19,080 Speaker 1: goes up to eight or ten, what recourse does the 696 00:34:19,239 --> 00:34:22,080 Speaker 1: union and or Deshaun Watson have none because they've already 697 00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:25,839 Speaker 1: said and they're not gonna they're not gonna question the decision. Now. 698 00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:27,920 Speaker 1: They could go to appeal, they could go to court, 699 00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:31,360 Speaker 1: federal court, and it's like Brady went to federal court. 700 00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:35,920 Speaker 1: You don't win in court because the NFL decisions are 701 00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:40,400 Speaker 1: collectively bargained by the union and the players associations. So 702 00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:44,360 Speaker 1: any kind of law, anything that goes to court, the judges, 703 00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:47,239 Speaker 1: and this is there's plenty of president the dogs look 704 00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:49,600 Speaker 1: back and say, hey, you know, you guys agreed to 705 00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:52,640 Speaker 1: this and put it back on a CBA. John. There's 706 00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:54,840 Speaker 1: so many things. Through the first couple of days of practice, 707 00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:57,520 Speaker 1: to man, I saw this. I saw that. Is there 708 00:34:57,600 --> 00:35:00,440 Speaker 1: one thing that stood out to you more than General's 709 00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:03,080 Speaker 1: gut reaction from the first two days. Uh, there was 710 00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:04,759 Speaker 1: a lot of players that did. You were talking about 711 00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:09,080 Speaker 1: Regene Green earlier, and I like to talk to people 712 00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:14,120 Speaker 1: who have been with a player or watched the player extensively. 713 00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:16,600 Speaker 1: And a friend of mine of the Seahawks told me 714 00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:20,239 Speaker 1: right after they signed him that I'll fit really well 715 00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:24,160 Speaker 1: in a four three, moving inside and passing situations. How 716 00:35:24,239 --> 00:35:27,320 Speaker 1: hard he played. He's young, he's gonna get better. And 717 00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:30,240 Speaker 1: I know you were talking him up on the radio 718 00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:35,359 Speaker 1: and a sports especially the defensive lineman. It's got any 719 00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:38,160 Speaker 1: improvement on defense has got to start up front. If 720 00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:40,239 Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. They're gonna have three new starters in 721 00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:43,919 Speaker 1: the secondary, and they got they've got you know, they're 722 00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:46,160 Speaker 1: not gonna be playing two linebackers most of the time. 723 00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:50,640 Speaker 1: And they got depth at linebackers they didn't have last year. 724 00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:53,239 Speaker 1: And the guy that everybody's so fired up about his 725 00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:56,279 Speaker 1: Garrett Wallow in his second season, who flashed at the 726 00:35:56,360 --> 00:35:59,120 Speaker 1: end the last season. Lovey Smith's linebackers got to be 727 00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:02,200 Speaker 1: able to run and and he can. And then Christian 728 00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:05,960 Speaker 1: Aires is another one who is really really fast. Now 729 00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:09,200 Speaker 1: he's got to be able to harness it, whether he's 730 00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:12,919 Speaker 1: dropping into coverage or chasing the ball. And it's it's 731 00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:16,440 Speaker 1: the new players. And of course everybody's watching Davis Mills, 732 00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:19,640 Speaker 1: and Mills might have more checkdowns one day and everybody, 733 00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:22,319 Speaker 1: oh my god, he had all these checkdowns. Well, that's 734 00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:25,040 Speaker 1: not necessarily a bad thing because he's gonna have checkdowns 735 00:36:25,160 --> 00:36:28,920 Speaker 1: during games. And a guy that's been getting a lot 736 00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:33,280 Speaker 1: now a lot of attention, some attention when these like ESPN, 737 00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:38,640 Speaker 1: the Athletic, CBS, NFL dot Com are looking for young 738 00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:41,840 Speaker 1: guys who didn't make a big impression last year but 739 00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:44,600 Speaker 1: could this year. I've seen Brevin Jordan on a couple 740 00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:47,520 Speaker 1: of those lists. I expected to see Nico Collins, but 741 00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:50,440 Speaker 1: maybe they think he played too much. But they're talking 742 00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:53,560 Speaker 1: about Jordan as a red zone factor. And also at 743 00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:56,640 Speaker 1: six two they list him six two, two forties. This 744 00:36:56,840 --> 00:36:59,319 Speaker 1: is last year's waits, these guys. If you can't trust 745 00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:02,000 Speaker 1: these waits at all. These guys have been working through 746 00:37:02,040 --> 00:37:06,560 Speaker 1: the offseason to get stronger. And if I was a 747 00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:08,960 Speaker 1: guy like Nico Collins and I'd work to game ten 748 00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:11,279 Speaker 1: or fifteen pounds, I didn't want people to know it. 749 00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:13,520 Speaker 1: I think we're gonna have to start asking every player 750 00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:17,200 Speaker 1: what he weighs and and but Jordans, they got really 751 00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:20,000 Speaker 1: high hopes for him. And there's you guys, know, anybody 752 00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:24,040 Speaker 1: that steps up at receiver besides Brandon Cooks, that's gonna 753 00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:26,719 Speaker 1: be a godsend for this offense. Well, we're all eager 754 00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:28,960 Speaker 1: to see what the running backs do today. And if 755 00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:31,279 Speaker 1: you had to pick it now, who are your top 756 00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:33,440 Speaker 1: two you think going into this? Well, I'm glad you 757 00:37:33,560 --> 00:37:35,799 Speaker 1: brought that up because I talked to a long time 758 00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:40,520 Speaker 1: Florida Florida Gator, a longtime NFL executive who saw everyone 759 00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:43,320 Speaker 1: of Damien Paris's games, and I talked to him for 760 00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:45,440 Speaker 1: an hour last night, and when I brought him up, 761 00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:49,879 Speaker 1: he immediately launched into this tirade about the bad way 762 00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:52,440 Speaker 1: the Gators used him, running him in and out with 763 00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:55,399 Speaker 1: another back or two and not playing him more because 764 00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:58,279 Speaker 1: he was clearly the best back, talking about the way 765 00:37:58,360 --> 00:38:02,040 Speaker 1: breaks tackles, how in distinctive he is, how physical he is, 766 00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:05,760 Speaker 1: and he gets the ball and he goes no wasted motion, 767 00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:09,600 Speaker 1: No east west, He's north south, and they need that. Now, 768 00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:13,360 Speaker 1: maybe Marlon mckelby comeback Player of the Year candidate, But 769 00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:16,279 Speaker 1: right now, you know, to me, he's like those guys 770 00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:18,719 Speaker 1: who came in here last year at a thousand yards 771 00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:22,359 Speaker 1: somewhere earlier. I'm looking at Damien Piers and I think 772 00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:26,200 Speaker 1: he'll start off number two, maybe number three, but he 773 00:38:26,280 --> 00:38:28,400 Speaker 1: will work his way up to the starter, and he 774 00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:31,640 Speaker 1: will be a candidate for NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year. 775 00:38:31,680 --> 00:38:33,640 Speaker 1: Here's one for both of you. Because last year, what 776 00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:36,040 Speaker 1: was it? Seven backs at a thousand yards plus? Right? 777 00:38:36,280 --> 00:38:38,480 Speaker 1: That was it? And eighth the year before, I believe 778 00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:41,120 Speaker 1: there wasn't that many. They had more yards rushing on 779 00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:43,839 Speaker 1: this roster than any team in the league going into 780 00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:46,839 Speaker 1: last year, going in in the course they finished last. Okay, well, 781 00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:49,680 Speaker 1: let's just move on, shall we. But I want to know, 782 00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:53,360 Speaker 1: is this a trend of fewer thousand plus yard rushers 783 00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:55,680 Speaker 1: even though we've got to seventeen games. Is there more 784 00:38:55,719 --> 00:38:58,880 Speaker 1: of a buy committee feel to the running games around 785 00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:02,759 Speaker 1: the NFL that ever? Not? If you're good, you think 786 00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:04,920 Speaker 1: the cults are gonna have a buy committee? Of course. Not. 787 00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:08,239 Speaker 1: If Damian Piers runs the way I think he's gonna run, 788 00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:10,680 Speaker 1: it ain't gonna be by committee. He'll need a breather 789 00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:13,000 Speaker 1: every now and then. That'll be either either Mac or 790 00:39:13,040 --> 00:39:15,239 Speaker 1: Barkhead or somebody it's not on the team. Here's what 791 00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:19,440 Speaker 1: will happen. It'll be guys, for a shorter number of years. 792 00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:22,400 Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor might do it, but it might not be 793 00:39:22,680 --> 00:39:25,680 Speaker 1: for the nine or ten years that Frank o'harris did it, 794 00:39:25,800 --> 00:39:28,839 Speaker 1: or however long Imman Smit did it. You're not gonna 795 00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:31,479 Speaker 1: have those guys doing it for that long now during 796 00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:34,879 Speaker 1: the season obviously help permitting. I think that's gonna be fine. 797 00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:37,239 Speaker 1: There's some running backs coming to this league next year. 798 00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:41,120 Speaker 1: Holy smokes. Maybe it's not about games, but it's about carries. Really, Yeah, 799 00:39:41,160 --> 00:39:42,960 Speaker 1: he touches ends up being a big deal because what 800 00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:45,040 Speaker 1: was it Chris Johnson. One year he went for two thousand, 801 00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:47,120 Speaker 1: and he had over four hundred touches the next year 802 00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:51,000 Speaker 1: he was just just not just a lot to ask? Yeah, 803 00:39:51,200 --> 00:39:53,560 Speaker 1: not there. Ay, a thousand yards is not a big 804 00:39:53,640 --> 00:39:56,600 Speaker 1: deal anymore, but for the Texans it is. And Piers 805 00:39:56,680 --> 00:39:59,359 Speaker 1: once he gets to play, I think and he's taken 806 00:39:59,400 --> 00:40:01,839 Speaker 1: to day where you want to back take in fourth round? 807 00:40:02,239 --> 00:40:03,680 Speaker 1: You know, there's not a lot to go in the 808 00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:06,440 Speaker 1: first round. My favorite was Breece Hall. I would open, 809 00:40:06,520 --> 00:40:09,520 Speaker 1: they'd take call. He goes to Jets. Kenneth Walker third 810 00:40:09,560 --> 00:40:12,799 Speaker 1: goes to the Seahawks. They got running backs. They don't 811 00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:15,840 Speaker 1: have a running back here. This is a great opportunity 812 00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:19,800 Speaker 1: for Peers and hopefully for Texans fans. He'll take advantage. 813 00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:22,320 Speaker 1: Of it. And to that end, how many teams in 814 00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:25,319 Speaker 1: the league would you look at it and look at 815 00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:29,040 Speaker 1: it and say, that's a full time that's the guy 816 00:40:29,239 --> 00:40:31,000 Speaker 1: running back. You always got to have a second guy, 817 00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:34,799 Speaker 1: there's no doubt. But where's the bell cow running back 818 00:40:35,040 --> 00:40:37,239 Speaker 1: in this league? I think a lot of teams have 819 00:40:37,680 --> 00:40:42,040 Speaker 1: a so called bell cow designated to be a bell cow, right, 820 00:40:42,560 --> 00:40:45,359 Speaker 1: like Dalvin Cook in Minnesota's gotta be the the bell cow? Right? 821 00:40:45,640 --> 00:40:47,719 Speaker 1: But can you stay healthy for the seventeen games? Yeah? 822 00:40:47,760 --> 00:40:49,560 Speaker 1: And then it becomes a committee thing. That's why you 823 00:40:49,600 --> 00:40:52,600 Speaker 1: only had seven thousand yard rushers last year. Oh, they 824 00:40:52,719 --> 00:40:54,640 Speaker 1: just donna know me. Alvin Kamara, who got in a 825 00:40:54,719 --> 00:40:57,040 Speaker 1: fight at the Pro Bowls suspended for the same number 826 00:40:57,080 --> 00:41:00,319 Speaker 1: of games as Deshaun Watson for fighting at the telling 827 00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:02,480 Speaker 1: you the idea of light bulbs that go off at 828 00:41:02,600 --> 00:41:05,759 Speaker 1: various times during the shows with with with any of us, 829 00:41:06,360 --> 00:41:09,719 Speaker 1: it's it's fairly miraculous. By the way, you guys know 830 00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:13,520 Speaker 1: that we are three days away from football actual tackling 831 00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:16,120 Speaker 1: football Hall of Fame game, Hall of Fame game. How 832 00:41:16,160 --> 00:41:18,960 Speaker 1: about that? All I know is no more pettycake practices 833 00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:21,040 Speaker 1: and this is pads and the coaches get pumped and 834 00:41:21,120 --> 00:41:26,080 Speaker 1: the players get pumped, and you hope nobody gets hurt. Good. Yeah, yeah, 835 00:41:26,360 --> 00:41:28,160 Speaker 1: I mean that. I don't know. There have been a 836 00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:30,680 Speaker 1: couple of guys backed up, but I would say to 837 00:41:30,920 --> 00:41:33,000 Speaker 1: a knock On Wood, I'm not I'm not even gonna 838 00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:34,480 Speaker 1: say it, John, John, who are you gonna picked up 839 00:41:34,520 --> 00:41:36,239 Speaker 1: in the AFC South? Can you share that with us yet? 840 00:41:36,280 --> 00:41:37,759 Speaker 1: Are you not ready to make a break? Well, I'm 841 00:41:37,840 --> 00:41:41,600 Speaker 1: not jumping on every man Ryan bandwagon. After I was 842 00:41:41,680 --> 00:41:44,600 Speaker 1: watching the national guy talk about how well he played 843 00:41:44,680 --> 00:41:47,560 Speaker 1: last year, he didn't. He was terrible last year. The 844 00:41:47,680 --> 00:41:50,040 Speaker 1: key was he didn't have me talent around him. Wasn't 845 00:41:50,120 --> 00:41:52,320 Speaker 1: him starting to go down the other or was the talent? 846 00:41:52,600 --> 00:41:54,880 Speaker 1: He didn't have great talent around him except it running 847 00:41:54,920 --> 00:41:58,480 Speaker 1: back in Indianapolis. And I've already said on sixtend, I'm 848 00:41:58,520 --> 00:42:00,600 Speaker 1: picking the Texas to beat the Colts that first game 849 00:42:00,640 --> 00:42:04,000 Speaker 1: because the coach humiliated them two times last year, and 850 00:42:04,120 --> 00:42:05,800 Speaker 1: I think they'll win it, just like they won that 851 00:42:05,920 --> 00:42:08,239 Speaker 1: game when what were they six point underdogs to the 852 00:42:08,320 --> 00:42:10,600 Speaker 1: Jaguars last year? But this is the Colt and here 853 00:42:10,680 --> 00:42:12,879 Speaker 1: six and a half point underdogs this year. The cult 854 00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:16,400 Speaker 1: so what Colts have won one playoff game since Frank 855 00:42:16,480 --> 00:42:19,719 Speaker 1: Reich has been there. Like you guys know where it 856 00:42:19,960 --> 00:42:21,840 Speaker 1: was and who they've beat. This is working for me. 857 00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:25,560 Speaker 1: Keep going, keep going. I love it. General Deebo Samuel 858 00:42:25,880 --> 00:42:28,040 Speaker 1: fixed everything with the forty nine ers. Oh, I guess 859 00:42:28,080 --> 00:42:29,560 Speaker 1: maybe the forty nine ers fixed here with a big 860 00:42:29,600 --> 00:42:32,600 Speaker 1: old bag of cash. Surprised and he went back to 861 00:42:32,680 --> 00:42:36,759 Speaker 1: San Francisco. No, he wasn't going anywhere. And they'd low 862 00:42:36,840 --> 00:42:39,439 Speaker 1: keated so long you knew they're gonna get it done. 863 00:42:39,520 --> 00:42:42,279 Speaker 1: They still got Jimmy g It's amazing to me how 864 00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:45,520 Speaker 1: many people think Garoppolo's coming here. And the best thing 865 00:42:45,600 --> 00:42:49,920 Speaker 1: I've seen about that and he's not is Charlie Weiss, 866 00:42:50,320 --> 00:42:54,239 Speaker 1: long time quarterback coach, offensive coordinator, head coach. He was 867 00:42:54,320 --> 00:42:56,920 Speaker 1: talking on NFL radio. He said, if you bring in 868 00:42:57,120 --> 00:43:00,959 Speaker 1: a veteran quarterback like Garoppolo and you put him behind 869 00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:04,560 Speaker 1: a quarterback you're trying to develop that you have confidence 870 00:43:04,640 --> 00:43:09,040 Speaker 1: in first time Mills has a bad game. Everybody fans media, 871 00:43:09,719 --> 00:43:12,799 Speaker 1: social media, maybe some of the play Garoppolo. You gotta 872 00:43:12,880 --> 00:43:16,000 Speaker 1: play Garoppolo. That's not what you need when you're trying 873 00:43:16,040 --> 00:43:19,080 Speaker 1: to develop a young guy. That's a good point.

We played 980 00:49:56,800 --> 00:49:59,439 Speaker 1: that earlier for you. He met with the officials. They're 981 00:49:59,440 --> 00:50:01,200 Speaker 1: here today because the team is in pads for the 982 00:50:01,239 --> 00:50:03,320 Speaker 1: first time. And I just bring that up because it 983 00:50:03,520 --> 00:50:06,839 Speaker 1: is phenomenal working with this group from football operations, as 984 00:50:06,880 --> 00:50:08,479 Speaker 1: we are able to catch up with a head coach 985 00:50:08,600 --> 00:50:12,200 Speaker 1: before practice. That's never happened all right, And David Culley 986 00:50:12,320 --> 00:50:14,279 Speaker 1: last year said some things to the fans, some nice 987 00:50:14,320 --> 00:50:16,520 Speaker 1: things on his way out the fans when they were 988 00:50:16,560 --> 00:50:19,360 Speaker 1: here in attendance. Today is not a fan open practice. 989 00:50:19,560 --> 00:50:23,360 Speaker 1: More information on open practices like tomorrow on Houston Texans 990 00:50:23,440 --> 00:50:25,239 Speaker 1: dot com the Texans app, so will go there to 991 00:50:25,280 --> 00:50:27,719 Speaker 1: get all your information and ticket information. But it was 992 00:50:27,840 --> 00:50:29,560 Speaker 1: very cool catching up with Lovey and I just want 993 00:50:29,600 --> 00:50:32,280 Speaker 1: to thank everybody involved there, especially the head coach himself 994 00:50:32,800 --> 00:50:34,600 Speaker 1: for taking a few minutes to visit with us and 995 00:50:35,000 --> 00:50:37,439 Speaker 1: just share with us what's going on today. And they're 996 00:50:37,520 --> 00:50:42,880 Speaker 1: looking for execution. They're looking to see who rises above, 997 00:50:43,480 --> 00:50:48,359 Speaker 1: who stands out in pads. Because you've heard a lot 998 00:50:48,400 --> 00:50:50,880 Speaker 1: of guys talk about it Johnny earlier, Seth Payne earlier 999 00:50:50,920 --> 00:50:54,840 Speaker 1: today described it very well as well, that when the 1000 00:50:55,040 --> 00:50:59,560 Speaker 1: hitting starts, you see some guys really stand out, really 1001 00:51:00,480 --> 00:51:03,799 Speaker 1: rise to the surface here as players who can really 1002 00:51:03,840 --> 00:51:06,600 Speaker 1: help your football team. Now, one player really helped this 1003 00:51:06,680 --> 00:51:12,399 Speaker 1: football team last year's Combo Gruge Hill, who definitely made 1004 00:51:12,440 --> 00:51:15,160 Speaker 1: his presence felt by leaded the team in tackles. He 1005 00:51:15,320 --> 00:51:18,360 Speaker 1: was a free agent going into the offseason, resigned. He's 1006 00:51:18,480 --> 00:51:22,359 Speaker 1: back a pretty thick looking linebacker cores on paper. We'll 1007 00:51:22,400 --> 00:51:23,880 Speaker 1: see how it all plays out. But I had a 1008 00:51:23,960 --> 00:51:27,239 Speaker 1: chance to visit with Combo Gruge Hill after practice on Saturday, 1009 00:51:27,360 --> 00:51:29,400 Speaker 1: and he likes the way things are going so far. 1010 00:51:29,640 --> 00:51:31,920 Speaker 1: It's good. It's good to be back. The vibe this 1011 00:51:32,040 --> 00:51:34,239 Speaker 1: year is amazing. I feel like all the guys are 1012 00:51:34,320 --> 00:51:37,400 Speaker 1: locked in. I mean, I didn't think the vibe is amazing, 1013 00:51:37,520 --> 00:51:39,839 Speaker 1: like truthfully, like it's a different vibe. We've got different 1014 00:51:39,920 --> 00:51:41,920 Speaker 1: energy and it's gonna be We're excited. Well, I was 1015 00:51:41,920 --> 00:51:45,200 Speaker 1: talking Andre Johnson about that. He notices the vibe. I've 1016 00:51:45,280 --> 00:51:47,560 Speaker 1: noticed the vibe. You noticed the vibe. Why do you 1017 00:51:47,600 --> 00:51:49,880 Speaker 1: think it's different? You know? I just feel like we're 1018 00:51:49,880 --> 00:51:52,360 Speaker 1: at rock bottom, you know, especially this organizations rock bottom 1019 00:51:52,360 --> 00:51:54,480 Speaker 1: the last couple of years. I think we got the 1020 00:51:54,560 --> 00:51:58,080 Speaker 1: right people in the building, We got the right energy everywhere. 1021 00:51:58,120 --> 00:51:59,880 Speaker 1: Everyone's mindset's good. We're just kind of we're on a 1022 00:52:00,080 --> 00:52:02,440 Speaker 1: upward um, you know, upwards a little bright now. So 1023 00:52:02,840 --> 00:52:06,040 Speaker 1: it's gonna be good. When you're playing one of these 1024 00:52:06,160 --> 00:52:08,840 Speaker 1: drills here, participating in one of these drills, what's it 1025 00:52:08,960 --> 00:52:10,719 Speaker 1: like when you see a running back coming and you 1026 00:52:10,840 --> 00:52:13,960 Speaker 1: can't tackle it, or a receiver. I can't blow him up, 1027 00:52:14,160 --> 00:52:17,520 Speaker 1: but I would have. So what is that like for you? Practicing? Yeah, 1028 00:52:17,560 --> 00:52:19,719 Speaker 1: it's a little frustrating sometimes because you know there's like 1029 00:52:19,800 --> 00:52:23,279 Speaker 1: speculation between the offensive and defense, like oh he could 1030 00:52:23,320 --> 00:52:25,120 Speaker 1: have done this, he could have done that. But you know, 1031 00:52:25,480 --> 00:52:27,080 Speaker 1: let's de'stite how it is. You know, once the pads 1032 00:52:27,120 --> 00:52:29,320 Speaker 1: come on and you know, we don't do that anyway, 1033 00:52:29,400 --> 00:52:31,440 Speaker 1: really just hitting each other. So it's a it's a 1034 00:52:31,480 --> 00:52:34,600 Speaker 1: way to practice the right way and once preseason games 1035 00:52:34,640 --> 00:52:37,319 Speaker 1: start going and stuff at all energy even even more. 1036 00:52:37,840 --> 00:52:40,000 Speaker 1: Is there talking out there during these drills that we 1037 00:52:40,080 --> 00:52:42,400 Speaker 1: don't hear with you guys saying stuff like that, you 1038 00:52:42,440 --> 00:52:44,440 Speaker 1: know I would have gotten You're right, Oh yeah, for sure. Yeah, 1039 00:52:44,480 --> 00:52:48,319 Speaker 1: there's constant trash talk. There's constant competition throughout the day. 1040 00:52:48,360 --> 00:52:50,360 Speaker 1: It's it's a fun atmosphere for sure. What was the 1041 00:52:50,440 --> 00:52:52,719 Speaker 1: off season like for you? Off season was good. You know, 1042 00:52:52,800 --> 00:52:55,040 Speaker 1: I gotta stayed around here for a little bit. I 1043 00:52:55,080 --> 00:52:57,279 Speaker 1: got to travel a little bit with my family, got 1044 00:52:57,320 --> 00:52:59,440 Speaker 1: it home for a little bit of Hawaii. Um, it's 1045 00:52:59,440 --> 00:53:02,360 Speaker 1: just been training. Man' been hungry since last year. We 1046 00:53:02,440 --> 00:53:04,279 Speaker 1: want um, you know, I think we have a real 1047 00:53:04,320 --> 00:53:06,360 Speaker 1: bad taste in our mouth from from last year and 1048 00:53:06,520 --> 00:53:09,279 Speaker 1: just how the season ended and all that. So I 1049 00:53:09,400 --> 00:53:11,560 Speaker 1: think everyone's been working hard. You know, even in the offseason. 1050 00:53:11,560 --> 00:53:13,719 Speaker 1: We had like forty four guys here, which is I mean, 1051 00:53:13,760 --> 00:53:16,840 Speaker 1: that's the most I've ever had, um, you know, in 1052 00:53:16,920 --> 00:53:19,600 Speaker 1: any offseason program. So um to have that, and the 1053 00:53:19,600 --> 00:53:21,920 Speaker 1: guys are locked in and ready. All right. So Lovey 1054 00:53:22,120 --> 00:53:24,239 Speaker 1: as a defensive coordinator, he had him last year, you 1055 00:53:24,320 --> 00:53:26,200 Speaker 1: still have him now now he's the head coach. What's 1056 00:53:26,239 --> 00:53:29,439 Speaker 1: the difference with him doing both roles in your mind? 1057 00:53:29,880 --> 00:53:31,640 Speaker 1: So I think it's funny, right because because we know 1058 00:53:31,840 --> 00:53:34,399 Speaker 1: Lovey because the defense, but the offensive guys didn't really 1059 00:53:34,400 --> 00:53:36,359 Speaker 1: know him last year. So just for us, it's kind 1060 00:53:36,400 --> 00:53:38,920 Speaker 1: of just normal, you know, the way he m you know, 1061 00:53:39,080 --> 00:53:42,160 Speaker 1: holds himself accountable and just holds himself to a standard 1062 00:53:42,160 --> 00:53:45,440 Speaker 1: I should say not accountable. But it's just amazing. Truthfully, 1063 00:53:45,520 --> 00:53:48,720 Speaker 1: it's he's an amazing head coach. I mean, I definitely 1064 00:53:48,800 --> 00:53:51,799 Speaker 1: say so far, he's one of the best, truthfully I've 1065 00:53:51,800 --> 00:53:54,520 Speaker 1: been around. What will putting on the pads mean to you? 1066 00:53:55,560 --> 00:53:57,239 Speaker 1: You know, this is a real football now, you know, 1067 00:53:57,320 --> 00:53:59,120 Speaker 1: this is no pads is you know a way to 1068 00:53:59,160 --> 00:54:01,400 Speaker 1: practice and get in shape a little bit. But we 1069 00:54:01,560 --> 00:54:04,080 Speaker 1: play games and pads, so when that happens and we 1070 00:54:04,120 --> 00:54:07,000 Speaker 1: can really start fine teeing the craft. Thanks for joining. 1071 00:54:07,160 --> 00:54:11,560 Speaker 1: Thank you, Como Gruge Hill. Great to hear from him, 1072 00:54:11,760 --> 00:54:14,880 Speaker 1: and he's right, it's real football. Even in the individual drills, 1073 00:54:14,920 --> 00:54:18,879 Speaker 1: they had receivers against dbs and the qbs throwing to them, 1074 00:54:19,280 --> 00:54:21,440 Speaker 1: and you can just tell the difference in the matchups. 1075 00:54:21,560 --> 00:54:23,600 Speaker 1: By the way, Chad Beebe had a really nice catch 1076 00:54:24,320 --> 00:54:27,360 Speaker 1: in a one on one situation, and what an advantage 1077 00:54:27,400 --> 00:54:29,640 Speaker 1: it is for the receivers when it's just mono almano 1078 00:54:30,040 --> 00:54:32,960 Speaker 1: in a wide open field with zero pass rush. That's 1079 00:54:33,000 --> 00:54:35,359 Speaker 1: what I always find interesting about these drills. There's got 1080 00:54:35,400 --> 00:54:37,400 Speaker 1: to be a clock going off in the head of 1081 00:54:37,440 --> 00:54:39,640 Speaker 1: the quarterback or a coach, but these quarterbacks get the 1082 00:54:39,640 --> 00:54:41,960 Speaker 1: ball off pretty quickly. There's no line in front of 1083 00:54:42,000 --> 00:54:45,120 Speaker 1: you in these individual situations, so that's gonna make it 1084 00:54:45,200 --> 00:54:47,880 Speaker 1: a little bit easier. But they went full eleven on 1085 00:54:48,000 --> 00:54:51,080 Speaker 1: eleven for a long time on Saturday without pads and 1086 00:54:51,360 --> 00:54:54,040 Speaker 1: worked on some things in the passing game and running 1087 00:54:54,080 --> 00:54:56,080 Speaker 1: game and some play action type stuff. A lot of 1088 00:54:56,120 --> 00:54:59,600 Speaker 1: people talked about the checkdowns. People talked about the checkdowns 1089 00:55:00,160 --> 00:55:03,839 Speaker 1: this year the way they talked about the interceptions last year. 1090 00:55:03,920 --> 00:55:07,320 Speaker 1: When it comes to Mills, that's, I hate to say it, 1091 00:55:07,680 --> 00:55:10,919 Speaker 1: progress checkdowns. There's nothing wrong with that. You're making a play, 1092 00:55:10,920 --> 00:55:13,719 Speaker 1: you're getting yardage. You don't want to pass up open 1093 00:55:13,800 --> 00:55:17,399 Speaker 1: opportunities down field. But they're trying to be sound. They're 1094 00:55:17,440 --> 00:55:23,000 Speaker 1: trying to build this thing slowly, surely, effectively. And like 1095 00:55:23,160 --> 00:55:26,440 Speaker 1: we said with coms, so far, so good, they're making progress. 1096 00:55:26,600 --> 00:55:28,600 Speaker 1: We're not even a week into this thing and it's 1097 00:55:28,640 --> 00:55:30,879 Speaker 1: the first day in Paths. John Harris has checking out 1098 00:55:30,920 --> 00:55:33,040 Speaker 1: practice right now.

With William McGinnis. I 1223 01:02:47,120 --> 01:02:50,000 Speaker 1: think Willie McGinnis and Scott Hanson they were covering back 1224 01:02:50,040 --> 01:02:53,280 Speaker 1: together Saturday throughout the league, so they were bringing coverage 1225 01:02:53,280 --> 01:02:54,840 Speaker 1: from all of the different camps, and I was the 1226 01:02:54,960 --> 01:02:57,440 Speaker 1: correspondent for the Houston Texans camp, so we did a 1227 01:02:57,480 --> 01:03:00,920 Speaker 1: live hit during practice and then I got to interview 1228 01:03:01,000 --> 01:03:03,720 Speaker 1: coach Lovey after practice. But that was really cool. If 1229 01:03:03,760 --> 01:03:06,120 Speaker 1: you're joining us late, we know about the Deshaun Watson 1230 01:03:06,160 --> 01:03:09,000 Speaker 1: six game suspension. We're not really belaboring the point here. 1231 01:03:09,120 --> 01:03:11,680 Speaker 1: It's out there six games. Don't know about an appeal 1232 01:03:11,800 --> 01:03:14,440 Speaker 1: yet unless something's broken. In the last ten twenty minutes, 1233 01:03:14,840 --> 01:03:17,160 Speaker 1: we had John McLean on at eight thirty, talked about it, 1234 01:03:17,320 --> 01:03:19,120 Speaker 1: gave his take. He thought it was a little light, 1235 01:03:19,240 --> 01:03:22,440 Speaker 1: but we'll see that's the general's opinion, and you'll hear 1236 01:03:22,520 --> 01:03:25,200 Speaker 1: more in the coming hours here at sports Radio six 1237 01:03:25,280 --> 01:03:27,840 Speaker 1: ten is in the loop is on at ten, So 1238 01:03:28,200 --> 01:03:32,960 Speaker 1: just resetting that situation as the Texans will host the 1239 01:03:33,040 --> 01:03:36,640 Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns here and DeShawn if Healthy will be the 1240 01:03:36,760 --> 01:03:40,439 Speaker 1: quarterback for Cleveland. If there's any kind of appeal, there's 1241 01:03:40,440 --> 01:03:43,000 Speaker 1: no way it goes beyond twelve games. And it's the 1242 01:03:43,080 --> 01:03:45,360 Speaker 1: thirteenth game of the year that the Texans will face 1243 01:03:45,560 --> 01:03:48,160 Speaker 1: the Browns here at n RG. Ticket information used in 1244 01:03:48,240 --> 01:03:51,200 Speaker 1: Texans dot com and the Texans app and the season 1245 01:03:51,280 --> 01:03:55,200 Speaker 1: opened September eleventh against the Indianapolis Colts. Liberty White kickoff 1246 01:03:55,280 --> 01:03:58,600 Speaker 1: first game deep one week from Saturday. How about that. 1247 01:03:58,800 --> 01:04:01,080 Speaker 1: I'm so excited. Kim's really flown by this year. I 1248 01:04:01,160 --> 01:04:03,160 Speaker 1: feel like there's a lot to be excited about. I mean, 1249 01:04:03,240 --> 01:04:07,080 Speaker 1: even though I know it's going so fast. Mark it's 1250 01:04:07,120 --> 01:04:09,200 Speaker 1: week two. This I look at it by weeks. Okay, 1251 01:04:09,440 --> 01:04:10,840 Speaker 1: you know what it is. It's because we didn't have 1252 01:04:11,000 --> 01:04:13,240 Speaker 1: six straight days of practice before the first day off. 1253 01:04:13,240 --> 01:04:15,200 Speaker 1: We had a couple of days, then the Sunday off. 1254 01:04:15,240 --> 01:04:16,840 Speaker 1: Now we're refreshed and reready. Go to see them in 1255 01:04:16,880 --> 01:04:18,920 Speaker 1: pad for the next time. To me Friday Saturday, and 1256 01:04:19,000 --> 01:04:22,600 Speaker 1: we'll see how fast it's. Okay, that's usually it. Like 1257 01:04:22,760 --> 01:04:25,480 Speaker 1: I said that three years ago, end of that first 1258 01:04:25,560 --> 01:04:27,880 Speaker 1: week into the second week, until you're not quite in 1259 01:04:27,960 --> 01:04:30,080 Speaker 1: the game week and you're like, well, where is game week? 1260 01:04:30,120 --> 01:04:32,960 Speaker 1: Once we get to next Monday game week, let's rob Well, 1261 01:04:33,000 --> 01:04:35,360 Speaker 1: that's where I mean the lily pad is game week. 1262 01:04:35,400 --> 01:04:37,400 Speaker 1: And I feel like that's right around the corner before 1263 01:04:37,440 --> 01:04:39,080 Speaker 1: we know it. And I actually love this because I 1264 01:04:39,160 --> 01:04:41,960 Speaker 1: feel like there's so much to get to know about 1265 01:04:42,160 --> 01:04:45,400 Speaker 1: this team. I know, we had so many new faces 1266 01:04:45,480 --> 01:04:47,240 Speaker 1: last year. Some of those guys are back. A good 1267 01:04:47,320 --> 01:04:49,200 Speaker 1: chunk of those guys are back. And you have the 1268 01:04:49,280 --> 01:04:50,960 Speaker 1: rookies who got a lot of pub we all got 1269 01:04:51,040 --> 01:04:52,760 Speaker 1: to know them when they were drafted. But there's some 1270 01:04:52,840 --> 01:04:55,320 Speaker 1: new vets here as well. I think the team's better. 1271 01:04:55,400 --> 01:04:58,120 Speaker 1: But anyway, what was what was the line of questioning 1272 01:04:58,160 --> 01:05:01,880 Speaker 1: from mcguinniston Scott Hanson to you on Saturday on NFL 1273 01:05:01,920 --> 01:05:05,200 Speaker 1: Network while they were asking me about what Lovey Smith 1274 01:05:05,240 --> 01:05:07,120 Speaker 1: has done differently, which I got to But then they 1275 01:05:07,120 --> 01:05:08,960 Speaker 1: also mentioned the heat and the humidity, which I mean, 1276 01:05:09,040 --> 01:05:11,160 Speaker 1: that's just a given. But I wanted to show them 1277 01:05:11,200 --> 01:05:14,080 Speaker 1: the helmets because that was the cool, big shiny thing 1278 01:05:14,160 --> 01:05:16,800 Speaker 1: on Saturday. So we got a shot of the battle 1279 01:05:16,840 --> 01:05:18,880 Speaker 1: red helmets and then we talked about We talked about 1280 01:05:18,920 --> 01:05:21,840 Speaker 1: Davis Mills because of course nationally, everybody wants to know 1281 01:05:21,920 --> 01:05:25,160 Speaker 1: what your quarterback situation is. We talked about Lovey Smith 1282 01:05:25,320 --> 01:05:28,080 Speaker 1: saying that Davis Mills will have his vote as offensive 1283 01:05:28,160 --> 01:05:30,880 Speaker 1: team captain if he had to cast it now. And really, 1284 01:05:30,960 --> 01:05:33,320 Speaker 1: everything that Mills has done this offseason to sort of 1285 01:05:33,520 --> 01:05:35,280 Speaker 1: emerges the leader that they want him to be and 1286 01:05:35,360 --> 01:05:36,800 Speaker 1: what he needs you to take that year one to 1287 01:05:36,920 --> 01:05:39,040 Speaker 1: year two jump. I also ask Lovey about the run 1288 01:05:39,120 --> 01:05:41,240 Speaker 1: game because now that the pads are on, that's going 1289 01:05:41,320 --> 01:05:43,840 Speaker 1: to be something to really watch for. They've made a 1290 01:05:43,880 --> 01:05:46,680 Speaker 1: lot of changes to that running backs room and they've 1291 01:05:46,720 --> 01:05:48,960 Speaker 1: beefed up the interior of the old line. So I 1292 01:05:49,280 --> 01:05:51,560 Speaker 1: know it's just a point of emphasis. It's something they've 1293 01:05:51,560 --> 01:05:53,880 Speaker 1: struggled with. But you know, I'm curious to see this 1294 01:05:54,000 --> 01:05:56,480 Speaker 1: year in camp. You know what Lovey thinks of the 1295 01:05:56,600 --> 01:05:58,920 Speaker 1: guys that he's got in place, and you know how 1296 01:05:59,080 --> 01:06:01,400 Speaker 1: much better this game can get. Because if the run 1297 01:06:01,480 --> 01:06:03,160 Speaker 1: game is better, Davis Mills can be better and that's 1298 01:06:03,160 --> 01:06:05,520 Speaker 1: just gonna make the offense better. So that's definitely something 1299 01:06:05,560 --> 01:06:07,320 Speaker 1: to keep an eye on. I will say, though a 1300 01:06:07,360 --> 01:06:10,720 Speaker 1: little bit earlier before I joined, they were doing wide 1301 01:06:10,760 --> 01:06:13,720 Speaker 1: receiver and dB drills and that's a lot of fun 1302 01:06:13,840 --> 01:06:16,880 Speaker 1: because Steven Nelson is a lot of fun to watch 1303 01:06:17,040 --> 01:06:18,760 Speaker 1: and they were mixing it up. It wasn't the same 1304 01:06:19,600 --> 01:06:22,840 Speaker 1: dB versus the same wide receiver every rep it was different. 1305 01:06:22,880 --> 01:06:24,840 Speaker 1: But every time Steven Nelson's on the field, man, he's 1306 01:06:25,200 --> 01:06:27,120 Speaker 1: he's a lot. He's a lot of excitement to watch. 1307 01:06:27,240 --> 01:06:29,760 Speaker 1: And Derek Stanley was out there as well. He was 1308 01:06:29,920 --> 01:06:32,840 Speaker 1: up against I want to say, he was up against 1309 01:06:34,200 --> 01:06:37,360 Speaker 1: Cooks at one point, and Cooks beat him, of course, 1310 01:06:37,440 --> 01:06:40,200 Speaker 1: But then afterwards Dino Vasso came over and started, you know, 1311 01:06:40,320 --> 01:06:42,960 Speaker 1: doing some teaching and explaining. But it's good to see 1312 01:06:43,040 --> 01:06:45,320 Speaker 1: in seven on seven there was one rep where it 1313 01:06:45,360 --> 01:06:47,880 Speaker 1: was Jalen Petrie and Stanley on the field together. So 1314 01:06:48,000 --> 01:06:50,800 Speaker 1: to see these rookies out there early, I think that's 1315 01:06:50,840 --> 01:06:53,360 Speaker 1: what's making camp so exciting for a lot of people 1316 01:06:53,440 --> 01:06:55,640 Speaker 1: because their high draft picks. There's a lot of excitement 1317 01:06:55,680 --> 01:06:57,680 Speaker 1: around them. Damian Pierce, you know, we'll see what he 1318 01:06:57,720 --> 01:06:59,960 Speaker 1: does today when they start doing some team drills, which 1319 01:07:00,040 --> 01:07:01,840 Speaker 1: looks like we'll be underway short. They haven't done any 1320 01:07:01,840 --> 01:07:04,000 Speaker 1: team while I was out there, but I'm really excited 1321 01:07:04,000 --> 01:07:05,480 Speaker 1: to see some of these rookies out there. You know, 1322 01:07:05,680 --> 01:07:08,880 Speaker 1: next year, let's say two years from now, you're gonna 1323 01:07:08,920 --> 01:07:12,479 Speaker 1: have all these first rounders, you know, the last six 1324 01:07:12,640 --> 01:07:15,080 Speaker 1: first rounders, and who knows what trades they make along 1325 01:07:15,120 --> 01:07:17,800 Speaker 1: the way on the field, and that'll be super cool, 1326 01:07:17,920 --> 01:07:20,439 Speaker 1: super cool this year to have Kenyon Green and Derek 1327 01:07:20,520 --> 01:07:22,479 Speaker 1: Stanley on the field. But when you have six first 1328 01:07:22,560 --> 01:07:25,920 Speaker 1: round draft choices on the two years from now, that 1329 01:07:26,080 --> 01:07:29,080 Speaker 1: really is going to be notable. And it's already notable. 1330 01:07:29,080 --> 01:07:30,480 Speaker 1: And I don't know what the win total is going 1331 01:07:30,560 --> 01:07:32,600 Speaker 1: to be this year, but you know, they look better 1332 01:07:32,720 --> 01:07:35,480 Speaker 1: on defense offense. How can they not be better when 1333 01:07:35,520 --> 01:07:38,240 Speaker 1: you were starting a rookie quarterback for eleven games last 1334 01:07:38,360 --> 01:07:40,360 Speaker 1: year and now he's got some experience under his best 1335 01:07:40,400 --> 01:07:42,720 Speaker 1: Do you remember Davis Mills last year in camp versus 1336 01:07:42,760 --> 01:07:45,840 Speaker 1: this year. I mean, it feels like switch has been flipped. 1337 01:07:45,840 --> 01:07:47,400 Speaker 1: I remember there was one practice where he threw a 1338 01:07:47,440 --> 01:07:50,360 Speaker 1: bunch of interceptions and that's all anyone talked about. But yeah, 1339 01:07:50,400 --> 01:07:52,240 Speaker 1: you know, he looks so much more comfortable out there 1340 01:07:52,320 --> 01:07:54,560 Speaker 1: this year. Obviously he should, he's got some games under 1341 01:07:54,600 --> 01:07:56,480 Speaker 1: his belt, but I think working with all of his 1342 01:07:56,640 --> 01:07:59,720 Speaker 1: receivers and his skill position players this offseason. He did 1343 01:07:59,760 --> 01:08:01,320 Speaker 1: it as soon as the season was over out in 1344 01:08:01,360 --> 01:08:03,560 Speaker 1: Atlanta at his former high school. That he did again 1345 01:08:03,600 --> 01:08:05,720 Speaker 1: at Worgain with Brandon Cooks. That's something that we also 1346 01:08:05,760 --> 01:08:08,200 Speaker 1: talked about an NFL network, you know, just getting the 1347 01:08:08,240 --> 01:08:10,280 Speaker 1: guys together and working with them off the field, like 1348 01:08:10,560 --> 01:08:12,800 Speaker 1: he really wants to take that chemistry with them to 1349 01:08:12,840 --> 01:08:15,160 Speaker 1: the next level, and it looks like it's showing here 1350 01:08:15,240 --> 01:08:18,240 Speaker 1: early in camp. The funny thing is the level of criticism. 1351 01:08:18,360 --> 01:08:20,840 Speaker 1: Right last year he had that practice with all the picks. 1352 01:08:21,040 --> 01:08:23,360 Speaker 1: This year on Saturday, he had a practice with a 1353 01:08:23,360 --> 01:08:26,400 Speaker 1: bunch of checkdowns and some other plays as well. Level 1354 01:08:26,439 --> 01:08:30,599 Speaker 1: of freak out was checkdowns as opposed to last year interceptions. Okay, 1355 01:08:30,920 --> 01:08:33,880 Speaker 1: we're progressing here in the level of freak out criticism. 1356 01:08:34,280 --> 01:08:36,960 Speaker 1: But the bottom line is just get better and he's 1357 01:08:37,000 --> 01:08:39,519 Speaker 1: getting better. I said this all off season. As long 1358 01:08:39,560 --> 01:08:43,240 Speaker 1: as he continues to improve, just don't stop improving, keep improving, 1359 01:08:43,400 --> 01:08:45,760 Speaker 1: get better, and you'll get to the right place eventually. 1360 01:08:45,840 --> 01:08:48,040 Speaker 1: And that's what you feel like is happening here, that 1361 01:08:48,160 --> 01:08:50,080 Speaker 1: they're taking the right steps. All right, Share with me 1362 01:08:50,120 --> 01:08:52,959 Speaker 1: a little inside baseball stuff, so to speak, inside television 1363 01:08:53,240 --> 01:08:55,759 Speaker 1: when you're waiting for your hit. Because I've been watching, 1364 01:08:56,200 --> 01:08:58,360 Speaker 1: and by the way, shouldn't we call it back together 1365 01:08:58,479 --> 01:09:00,719 Speaker 1: weekend and not back together Saturday? Because I was watching 1366 01:09:00,760 --> 01:09:03,160 Speaker 1: yesterday and they still called it back together Saturday because 1367 01:09:03,160 --> 01:09:05,559 Speaker 1: they were running it. But they were live where they live. 1368 01:09:05,680 --> 01:09:07,280 Speaker 1: I thought they were. I don't know, maybe they were. 1369 01:09:07,439 --> 01:09:10,000 Speaker 1: I had recorded all of Saturday's coverage, so I thought 1370 01:09:10,040 --> 01:09:12,360 Speaker 1: that was that was their big day of all right, 1371 01:09:12,400 --> 01:09:15,080 Speaker 1: did everybody go to the Colts on Saturday? They went 1372 01:09:15,160 --> 01:09:17,120 Speaker 1: to the Colts in the evening. It was nighttime. It 1373 01:09:17,240 --> 01:09:20,639 Speaker 1: was dark because the bugs everywhere. Yesterday they were showing 1374 01:09:20,720 --> 01:09:23,559 Speaker 1: eleven on eleven cults practice. That was a pretty tight 1375 01:09:23,680 --> 01:09:27,880 Speaker 1: shot on purpose, I think, because Frank Reich my freak out. 1376 01:09:27,880 --> 01:09:29,720 Speaker 1: I don't want to show the wide angle. But I 1377 01:09:29,760 --> 01:09:31,680 Speaker 1: saw Matt Ryan throwing the rock at a little bit 1378 01:09:31,880 --> 01:09:34,880 Speaker 1: yesterday and they were showing eleven on eleven. They said 1379 01:09:34,880 --> 01:09:36,880 Speaker 1: it was live, but maybe it was a recording that 1380 01:09:36,960 --> 01:09:39,720 Speaker 1: I saw. But they also had de Forest Buckner miked up, 1381 01:09:39,760 --> 01:09:42,559 Speaker 1: like they had some players that were miked up during practice, 1382 01:09:42,600 --> 01:09:43,800 Speaker 1: which I was watching, and I thought, this is a 1383 01:09:43,800 --> 01:09:46,439 Speaker 1: little awkward because they're running through all these drills and 1384 01:09:46,479 --> 01:09:49,000 Speaker 1: then they were asking them these really open ended questions. 1385 01:09:49,040 --> 01:09:52,559 Speaker 1: It's kind of hard to you know, you're getting questions. Yeah, yeah, 1386 01:09:52,560 --> 01:09:55,760 Speaker 1: while he was cults are team access because they had 1387 01:09:55,800 --> 01:09:58,280 Speaker 1: the in season hard knocks last maybe this is nothing 1388 01:09:58,320 --> 01:10:01,280 Speaker 1: compared to in season hard knocks. It's just a practice. 1389 01:10:01,360 --> 01:10:03,800 Speaker 1: So we'll give you this and then get out of 1390 01:10:03,840 --> 01:10:06,000 Speaker 1: here and we'll work on our game here. And of 1391 01:10:06,040 --> 01:10:08,320 Speaker 1: course they will be here September eleventh. But do you 1392 01:10:08,439 --> 01:10:11,439 Speaker 1: hear the people from New York? Well, it's actually all 1393 01:10:11,680 --> 01:10:13,960 Speaker 1: I hear. I hear so many voices in my ear, 1394 01:10:14,240 --> 01:10:16,960 Speaker 1: like I hear so many voices, and then I've heard 1395 01:10:16,960 --> 01:10:19,479 Speaker 1: my name. I heard hear voices anywhere, and it's loud anyway, 1396 01:10:19,640 --> 01:10:21,479 Speaker 1: camp and I have you know, it's I'm trying to 1397 01:10:21,520 --> 01:10:23,519 Speaker 1: pay attention to them just saying my name. So he says, 1398 01:10:23,680 --> 01:10:26,160 Speaker 1: and here's dpiece of you from Houston, and then goes 1399 01:10:26,200 --> 01:10:28,200 Speaker 1: on and asks me a really long winded question. So 1400 01:10:28,280 --> 01:10:30,160 Speaker 1: I thought, Okay, are they talking to themselves? Are they 1401 01:10:30,200 --> 01:10:32,160 Speaker 1: talking to me? They were still talking to me, so 1402 01:10:32,240 --> 01:10:34,800 Speaker 1: I waited for them to get done talking, and you know, 1403 01:10:34,840 --> 01:10:36,280 Speaker 1: he asked me about love you, but I really wanted 1404 01:10:36,320 --> 01:10:38,439 Speaker 1: to show off the helmets because they kind of had 1405 01:10:38,479 --> 01:10:41,280 Speaker 1: the camera setup to show the shot. So it's it's 1406 01:10:41,280 --> 01:10:42,880 Speaker 1: a lot, but you know, that's how it is. Even 1407 01:10:42,920 --> 01:10:44,880 Speaker 1: when we do our Texans Live shows, I've got Tyler 1408 01:10:44,920 --> 01:10:47,120 Speaker 1: Mark cutting my ear right and then we've got you know, 1409 01:10:47,160 --> 01:10:49,080 Speaker 1: them talking to the camera crew at the same time. 1410 01:10:49,120 --> 01:10:50,640 Speaker 1: You just have to learn to tune it out and 1411 01:10:50,720 --> 01:10:53,679 Speaker 1: talk over. Yeah. That's a skill that I've just sort 1412 01:10:53,720 --> 01:10:55,320 Speaker 1: of a muscle that I've developed. So now sometimes I 1413 01:10:55,400 --> 01:10:59,240 Speaker 1: can't hear things because I'm so used to blocking thinks out. Yeah, sorry, sorry, sorry, 1414 01:10:59,240 --> 01:11:03,240 Speaker 1: Well with that, Yeah, well now it was It's a 1415 01:11:03,280 --> 01:11:05,120 Speaker 1: lot of fun, and I did it last year, but 1416 01:11:05,439 --> 01:11:07,719 Speaker 1: you know, it's the second year they've done back Together Saturday, 1417 01:11:07,840 --> 01:11:10,040 Speaker 1: so it's it's I hope they do it every year. 1418 01:11:10,080 --> 01:11:11,839 Speaker 1: It's a lot of fun to get the team reporters 1419 01:11:11,920 --> 01:11:13,800 Speaker 1: involved because we're the ones that know the team. We're 1420 01:11:13,840 --> 01:11:16,200 Speaker 1: here every day. Yeah, an NFL Network will be out 1421 01:11:16,240 --> 01:11:21,800 Speaker 1: here again on Wednesday. They will James Palmer Udy to 1422 01:11:22,200 --> 01:11:25,719 Speaker 1: visit with them. Now, who are you going to interview today? Today? 1423 01:11:25,760 --> 01:11:27,840 Speaker 1: I get Rex Burkhead, which will be great because it's 1424 01:11:27,880 --> 01:11:30,080 Speaker 1: the first day in pads. It's year ten for Rex, 1425 01:11:30,720 --> 01:11:33,120 Speaker 1: so this is not his first rodeo and pads, and 1426 01:11:33,360 --> 01:11:35,559 Speaker 1: it's a brand new running backs group, and I think 1427 01:11:35,600 --> 01:11:37,320 Speaker 1: everyone's really excited to see what's gonna happen with a 1428 01:11:37,360 --> 01:11:39,680 Speaker 1: running Right, here's a question for Rex. I see him 1429 01:11:39,760 --> 01:11:41,840 Speaker 1: run out every play, right, he just runs it to 1430 01:11:41,920 --> 01:11:45,400 Speaker 1: the end zone. He's scoring every play, you know, phantom scoring, 1431 01:11:45,840 --> 01:11:48,280 Speaker 1: but that kind of work ethic. You can see it 1432 01:11:48,360 --> 01:11:51,559 Speaker 1: in the way he practices. So I'm wondering, Yeah, I'm 1433 01:11:51,640 --> 01:11:54,920 Speaker 1: sure he's always been like this. Does he know that 1434 01:11:54,960 --> 01:11:57,080 Speaker 1: he's studying such a powerful example for the youth of 1435 01:11:57,160 --> 01:11:59,160 Speaker 1: this team. Right, that's how you do it. Just watch 1436 01:11:59,240 --> 01:12:01,640 Speaker 1: that guy just by just by leading. I mean, you're right, 1437 01:12:01,960 --> 01:12:03,880 Speaker 1: you're absolutely right. But when he's out there, he's got 1438 01:12:03,920 --> 01:12:05,760 Speaker 1: to finish the play, even when the whistle is called. Yeah, 1439 01:12:05,880 --> 01:12:08,120 Speaker 1: he'll still run to the end zone. He's just getting 1440 01:12:08,160 --> 01:12:10,640 Speaker 1: some extra work in well and showing everybody, Look, this 1441 01:12:10,800 --> 01:12:12,400 Speaker 1: is how you this is how you perform on the 1442 01:12:12,439 --> 01:12:14,800 Speaker 1: practice field. But he also wears black leggings like his 1443 01:12:14,920 --> 01:12:16,600 Speaker 1: legs are covered and his arms are covered. And I 1444 01:12:16,680 --> 01:12:19,560 Speaker 1: still cannot get down with how are you. Maybe he 1445 01:12:19,640 --> 01:12:21,760 Speaker 1: feels cooler and the heat. He's from Texas. Maybe this 1446 01:12:21,920 --> 01:12:25,160 Speaker 1: is a secret. Nothing. Do not need black leggings like 1447 01:12:25,280 --> 01:12:28,360 Speaker 1: covering me from you know, head to toe. All right. 1448 01:12:28,400 --> 01:12:30,439 Speaker 1: The other question I have is should I eat this donut? 1449 01:12:30,479 --> 01:12:35,080 Speaker 1: Because they seth that don show, they brought donuts, and 1450 01:12:35,600 --> 01:12:39,360 Speaker 1: the donuts are here. I can't. You cannot to myself. 1451 01:12:39,479 --> 01:12:42,000 Speaker 1: After a while, the donuts are just singing to me. 1452 01:12:42,160 --> 01:12:44,840 Speaker 1: They're like sirens. What I don't like is that you 1453 01:12:44,920 --> 01:12:46,920 Speaker 1: said should I have a bite of a donut? And 1454 01:12:47,120 --> 01:12:48,960 Speaker 1: you opened up the box and you tore off a 1455 01:12:49,000 --> 01:12:50,920 Speaker 1: piece at that point, just take the whole donut. No, 1456 01:12:51,160 --> 01:12:53,280 Speaker 1: it's gonna eat your donut left over.

I was all ready to come back from 1571 01:19:37,320 --> 01:19:39,320 Speaker 1: the break and say the ball hasn't touched the ground 1572 01:19:39,439 --> 01:19:42,040 Speaker 1: yet in full eleven on eleven team work, but they 1573 01:19:42,120 --> 01:19:43,920 Speaker 1: just had a little dump off that didn't work out. 1574 01:19:43,960 --> 01:19:45,200 Speaker 1: I don't know if somebody got in the way of 1575 01:19:45,280 --> 01:19:48,000 Speaker 1: that or if it was a drop or whatever, but 1576 01:19:48,280 --> 01:19:50,920 Speaker 1: Mills was trying to just check it over the middle. 1577 01:19:51,680 --> 01:19:55,120 Speaker 1: And other than that, it's been pretty nice so far here. 1578 01:19:55,200 --> 01:19:57,720 Speaker 1: As Mills is still in there with the ones, I 1579 01:19:57,840 --> 01:19:59,680 Speaker 1: could just start doing play by play right here. He's 1580 01:19:59,680 --> 01:20:03,200 Speaker 1: got an go Collins wide to the left side. He's 1581 01:20:03,240 --> 01:20:07,000 Speaker 1: got Freeman motioning around. He's in the gun, and here's 1582 01:20:07,040 --> 01:20:12,360 Speaker 1: a catch Collins about eight yards left side, little square 1583 01:20:12,400 --> 01:20:14,400 Speaker 1: in type deal. I can't release see full from here. 1584 01:20:14,439 --> 01:20:17,160 Speaker 1: We'll get John Harris's thoughts on this, but you know 1585 01:20:17,200 --> 01:20:19,360 Speaker 1: they're working on the ground game. Here saw Pierce with 1586 01:20:19,439 --> 01:20:22,920 Speaker 1: a nice little pop defense making their presence felt. Obviously 1587 01:20:23,520 --> 01:20:25,880 Speaker 1: fun to see those guys operate. They've got the big 1588 01:20:26,320 --> 01:20:29,439 Speaker 1: honeycomb helmets, the waffle helmets on top of the deep 1589 01:20:29,479 --> 01:20:33,400 Speaker 1: steel blue helmets. Here today defense and white, offense and blue, 1590 01:20:33,479 --> 01:20:36,680 Speaker 1: and it's just fun to see them operate. And we 1591 01:20:36,840 --> 01:20:38,640 Speaker 1: talked about working on the running game, and right now 1592 01:20:38,680 --> 01:20:41,599 Speaker 1: you've got a fullback in the game and Annie Jenevitch 1593 01:20:42,200 --> 01:20:44,880 Speaker 1: trying to make his presence felt on this team. John 1594 01:20:44,960 --> 01:20:47,320 Speaker 1: Harris had a chance to catch up with the veteran 1595 01:20:47,400 --> 01:20:50,799 Speaker 1: fullback any First of all, first trendy camp in Houston. 1596 01:20:51,800 --> 01:20:54,519 Speaker 1: The proverbial weather question is coming right out of the shoot. 1597 01:20:55,040 --> 01:20:57,200 Speaker 1: How's it feel going through the heat of the morning. 1598 01:20:57,520 --> 01:21:01,040 Speaker 1: It's pretty brutal. I've never really experience anything like it. 1599 01:21:01,240 --> 01:21:05,040 Speaker 1: I've been in Denver and Cleveland before and Cleveland is 1600 01:21:05,080 --> 01:21:07,600 Speaker 1: a little bit warmer and humid, but nothing compares to this. 1601 01:21:08,160 --> 01:21:10,960 Speaker 1: How you making it through? Just trying to drink as 1602 01:21:11,040 --> 01:21:15,400 Speaker 1: much water as possible, I mean, get your rest and sleep, 1603 01:21:15,520 --> 01:21:18,120 Speaker 1: and just trying to find any shade of practice as possible, 1604 01:21:18,560 --> 01:21:20,519 Speaker 1: and there isn't much of that out here, no doubt. 1605 01:21:20,680 --> 01:21:25,240 Speaker 1: Now you go into pads on Monday for you OTA's offseason, 1606 01:21:25,479 --> 01:21:27,879 Speaker 1: first two days of trading camp. You can't hit anybody. 1607 01:21:28,000 --> 01:21:30,840 Speaker 1: I mean it kind of can't, but you can't. Monday 1608 01:21:30,880 --> 01:21:33,200 Speaker 1: becomes an important day for you. How important does it 1609 01:21:33,280 --> 01:21:36,160 Speaker 1: become for you once you put the pads on. I 1610 01:21:36,200 --> 01:21:38,760 Speaker 1: mean that's pretty much ninety nine percent of my job, 1611 01:21:38,840 --> 01:21:42,200 Speaker 1: so it's it's very important. I mean, I gotta you know, 1612 01:21:42,280 --> 01:21:44,120 Speaker 1: it's gonna take a little bit to get used to 1613 01:21:44,160 --> 01:21:46,160 Speaker 1: you because you know, it's been nine months since I 1614 01:21:46,240 --> 01:21:49,080 Speaker 1: played football the last or whatever it's been with pads on, 1615 01:21:49,600 --> 01:21:53,479 Speaker 1: so I mean, you know, just proper had placement and 1616 01:21:53,680 --> 01:21:55,760 Speaker 1: placement all that stuff. I mean, you gotta get it 1617 01:21:55,840 --> 01:21:58,160 Speaker 1: back like that. People think you you put pads on 1618 01:21:58,240 --> 01:21:59,640 Speaker 1: and you start hitting, But how long does it take 1619 01:21:59,680 --> 01:22:04,479 Speaker 1: the kind shake that not wearing pads rust off, you know, 1620 01:22:05,360 --> 01:22:08,080 Speaker 1: day or two, maybe three. But after that usually you 1621 01:22:08,160 --> 01:22:09,800 Speaker 1: get into a little bit of rhythm. I think it 1622 01:22:09,880 --> 01:22:13,120 Speaker 1: takes a little bit of time for everyone. I know 1623 01:22:13,479 --> 01:22:16,400 Speaker 1: a lot of people here big fans of the military. 1624 01:22:16,439 --> 01:22:19,080 Speaker 1: I know the military strikes close to your heart. USO 1625 01:22:19,200 --> 01:22:22,600 Speaker 1: Houston is here in the community center. How important is 1626 01:22:22,640 --> 01:22:25,320 Speaker 1: it to recognize the military ane of the Texans, but 1627 01:22:25,439 --> 01:22:27,960 Speaker 1: the NFL as well. Oh, I think. I mean it's 1628 01:22:28,040 --> 01:22:30,519 Speaker 1: the most important thing you can do. I mean, without them, 1629 01:22:31,760 --> 01:22:36,000 Speaker 1: we'd be still speaking, eating the crumpets and team all 1630 01:22:36,040 --> 01:22:39,360 Speaker 1: that stuff. But I mean they they're the ones that 1631 01:22:39,439 --> 01:22:41,920 Speaker 1: give us our freedoms. I mean, the reason we can 1632 01:22:42,000 --> 01:22:43,640 Speaker 1: come out here and play football and you know, just 1633 01:22:43,680 --> 01:22:45,280 Speaker 1: have all these freedoms that we have. So, I mean 1634 01:22:45,360 --> 01:22:48,080 Speaker 1: we owe everything to them. From a thirty thousand foot view, 1635 01:22:48,120 --> 01:22:49,640 Speaker 1: how do you feel the offense is doing? How do 1636 01:22:49,680 --> 01:22:51,360 Speaker 1: you feel it's adapting? I know this is your first 1637 01:22:51,439 --> 01:22:53,840 Speaker 1: year year, so we've seen the year after year after 1638 01:22:53,920 --> 01:22:55,800 Speaker 1: year change. But how about for you guys, how do 1639 01:22:55,880 --> 01:22:58,439 Speaker 1: you see it? How do you see the offense progressive? Uh, 1640 01:22:58,600 --> 01:23:02,240 Speaker 1: it's coming along very well. I mean the first few 1641 01:23:02,320 --> 01:23:04,360 Speaker 1: days of OTAs you know, a little slow. It's all 1642 01:23:04,439 --> 01:23:06,479 Speaker 1: new for a lot of people, and we put that 1643 01:23:06,600 --> 01:23:09,120 Speaker 1: all the way through and after that little break that 1644 01:23:09,160 --> 01:23:11,000 Speaker 1: we had from OTAs a training camp, I mean we 1645 01:23:11,080 --> 01:23:12,920 Speaker 1: just picked up like right where we left off. So 1646 01:23:13,000 --> 01:23:14,920 Speaker 1: I mean it's it's coming along pretty well. How I 1647 01:23:15,040 --> 01:23:17,920 Speaker 1: just picking up new verbiage. You might do the same thing, 1648 01:23:18,040 --> 01:23:19,960 Speaker 1: but it might be called something completely different for you. 1649 01:23:20,120 --> 01:23:21,720 Speaker 1: How does that for you to pick up kind of 1650 01:23:21,760 --> 01:23:24,360 Speaker 1: new verbiage for your position? Um, ninety five percent of 1651 01:23:24,400 --> 01:23:26,280 Speaker 1: it you get. But then there's always those little things 1652 01:23:26,360 --> 01:23:28,360 Speaker 1: that you always just keep calling the same, like even 1653 01:23:28,560 --> 01:23:30,280 Speaker 1: if it's been for a year or two, like you 1654 01:23:30,280 --> 01:23:31,800 Speaker 1: always just want to call it one certain thing. So 1655 01:23:31,880 --> 01:23:34,600 Speaker 1: I mean it's the same thing essentially, but you have 1656 01:23:34,760 --> 01:23:36,720 Speaker 1: something else in your mind. So I mean you just 1657 01:23:36,760 --> 01:23:39,200 Speaker 1: gotta try to work those little kinks out. I know 1658 01:23:39,280 --> 01:23:41,400 Speaker 1: you've not been in the league for a long time, 1659 01:23:41,520 --> 01:23:44,280 Speaker 1: but you had your wife, you had your daughter here. 1660 01:23:44,880 --> 01:23:47,240 Speaker 1: You didn't start the league with your daughter. How cool 1661 01:23:47,320 --> 01:23:49,000 Speaker 1: is it to have her out here running around with 1662 01:23:49,080 --> 01:23:51,960 Speaker 1: you after practice and celebrate, you know, just being in 1663 01:23:52,000 --> 01:23:54,400 Speaker 1: the NFL, being here as a family. Oh, that's awesome. 1664 01:23:54,760 --> 01:23:57,160 Speaker 1: The first she was born my first year when in 1665 01:23:57,280 --> 01:23:59,760 Speaker 1: Cleveland or I guess it was my fifth year in 1666 01:24:00,320 --> 01:24:02,519 Speaker 1: but she was born then the second year I was 1667 01:24:02,560 --> 01:24:05,760 Speaker 1: in Cleveland, she you know, was just barely starting to walk. 1668 01:24:05,800 --> 01:24:08,240 Speaker 1: And now she's almost two years old. She's running around 1669 01:24:08,360 --> 01:24:11,479 Speaker 1: and trying to drive the golf carts. And it's pretty cool, actually, 1670 01:24:11,680 --> 01:24:13,439 Speaker 1: I mean, because not a lot of kids get to 1671 01:24:13,520 --> 01:24:15,720 Speaker 1: do that, and that's pretty special. I mean, I'm sure 1672 01:24:15,800 --> 01:24:19,000 Speaker 1: my next ones won't be able to do that. Very cool. Andy, 1673 01:24:19,000 --> 01:24:23,000 Speaker 1: appreciate your time. Thank you. There's John Harris with Andy 1674 01:24:23,080 --> 01:24:25,880 Speaker 1: Jenevich fullback who's getting some work today in the eleven 1675 01:24:25,960 --> 01:24:30,080 Speaker 1: on eleven padded practice. We see offense versus defense right 1676 01:24:30,160 --> 01:24:33,759 Speaker 1: now as they go through the layers of the depth chart. 1677 01:24:33,880 --> 01:24:36,080 Speaker 1: And let's go through some things with John Harris, who's 1678 01:24:36,080 --> 01:24:37,679 Speaker 1: back with us right now. Okay, what are you seeing 1679 01:24:37,760 --> 01:24:40,120 Speaker 1: so far out there? All right? Quick observations number one. 1680 01:24:40,200 --> 01:24:43,720 Speaker 1: Let's start with number ninety two. Rashime Green. He's a problem, hey, 1681 01:24:44,080 --> 01:24:46,760 Speaker 1: A good problem, a very very good problem. He's gonna 1682 01:24:46,760 --> 01:24:51,639 Speaker 1: be a problem for opposing offensive players. Just watching him 1683 01:24:51,640 --> 01:24:56,240 Speaker 1: in one on one pass rush, just his twitch off 1684 01:24:56,280 --> 01:24:59,080 Speaker 1: the ball is really impressive. And then you look at him, 1685 01:24:59,080 --> 01:25:01,439 Speaker 1: he's got like third five and a half inch arms 1686 01:25:02,160 --> 01:25:05,439 Speaker 1: and nobody fat. He just looks like he was, you know, 1687 01:25:05,600 --> 01:25:08,120 Speaker 1: cut from the defensive end store. I mean, he's fun, 1688 01:25:08,280 --> 01:25:10,720 Speaker 1: fun to watch. He had a couple of reps against Charlie. Heck, 1689 01:25:10,920 --> 01:25:12,479 Speaker 1: Charlie did a good job on the second one. I 1690 01:25:12,560 --> 01:25:15,439 Speaker 1: think the first one Charlie was Charlie got lifted off 1691 01:25:15,439 --> 01:25:16,760 Speaker 1: the ground a little bit because I don't think you 1692 01:25:16,840 --> 01:25:20,880 Speaker 1: understood how strong, long and strong Rashim is. So it 1693 01:25:21,000 --> 01:25:23,040 Speaker 1: was nice seeing that. Of course, I was gonna check 1694 01:25:23,120 --> 01:25:26,479 Speaker 1: out Kenyan Green, the rookie from Texas A and M 1695 01:25:26,640 --> 01:25:31,400 Speaker 1: and he's a people mover now, like he moves three 1696 01:25:31,520 --> 01:25:36,160 Speaker 1: hundred pound men and moves them relatively easily. So it's 1697 01:25:36,200 --> 01:25:38,120 Speaker 1: true that when you get a guy like him in 1698 01:25:38,200 --> 01:25:41,200 Speaker 1: the paths, you could really see the full arsenal, the 1699 01:25:41,320 --> 01:25:44,040 Speaker 1: full skills set, if you will. Absolutely before we go 1700 01:25:44,120 --> 01:25:46,599 Speaker 1: on to the next one on him, because just watching 1701 01:25:46,640 --> 01:25:49,000 Speaker 1: the team drills and Davis is on it today and 1702 01:25:49,280 --> 01:25:52,160 Speaker 1: I got mad at myself as I was watching it 1703 01:25:52,160 --> 01:25:53,479 Speaker 1: because I was like, you know what, one thing I 1704 01:25:53,600 --> 01:25:57,439 Speaker 1: didn't say, because yesterday or Saturday was a lot about checkdowns, checkdowns, 1705 01:25:57,680 --> 01:26:00,160 Speaker 1: and I mentioned it, and there were and we talked 1706 01:26:00,160 --> 01:26:02,719 Speaker 1: about it. Checktoones aren't always bad. But I also remembered, 1707 01:26:02,880 --> 01:26:05,320 Speaker 1: you don't let the defense knows they're thrown every down. Yeah, 1708 01:26:05,720 --> 01:26:08,599 Speaker 1: they know they're thrown every down. Whereas now you've got 1709 01:26:08,960 --> 01:26:12,400 Speaker 1: run past mixed in, and now Davis is sling RPO slants. 1710 01:26:12,600 --> 01:26:15,280 Speaker 1: He's throwing pick routes out tomorrow the mac on the outside. 1711 01:26:16,000 --> 01:26:19,040 Speaker 1: He is dialed in today. Hit Conley on a nice 1712 01:26:19,880 --> 01:26:21,840 Speaker 1: slant off the back side of an RPO, kind of 1713 01:26:21,880 --> 01:26:24,000 Speaker 1: a fake zone one way, and throw it back on 1714 01:26:24,080 --> 01:26:26,080 Speaker 1: the slant the other way. You saw Gary Kubiak would 1715 01:26:26,080 --> 01:26:29,040 Speaker 1: do that too. That's a that's a staple play. There's 1716 01:26:29,080 --> 01:26:34,479 Speaker 1: been one play though, one that I heard pads louder 1717 01:26:34,520 --> 01:26:37,680 Speaker 1: than any other play. Okay, guess who the running back 1718 01:26:37,920 --> 01:26:41,559 Speaker 1: was at that particular moment. Pierce. Of course, of course, 1719 01:26:42,120 --> 01:26:44,679 Speaker 1: somebody tried to meet him in the hole and just pop. 1720 01:26:44,800 --> 01:26:46,920 Speaker 1: I mean, you hurt. I was down the field. I 1721 01:26:47,040 --> 01:26:49,040 Speaker 1: was down to the north near the north end zone 1722 01:26:49,040 --> 01:26:50,800 Speaker 1: and they were kind of midfield on the other side, 1723 01:26:51,200 --> 01:26:53,519 Speaker 1: and you could hear it. I mean I saw it coming, 1724 01:26:53,920 --> 01:26:55,599 Speaker 1: but you just heard it down on the other side, 1725 01:26:55,720 --> 01:26:57,960 Speaker 1: just you know, somebody trying to thud up on him. 1726 01:26:58,040 --> 01:27:01,760 Speaker 1: Pooh Man. Ario Addison also could be a problem too. 1727 01:27:02,320 --> 01:27:04,360 Speaker 1: You watched ninety seven, you would not know that guy 1728 01:27:05,240 --> 01:27:08,559 Speaker 1: is nearing the football retirement home because he looked really 1729 01:27:08,640 --> 01:27:13,040 Speaker 1: explosive in his reps. He went against Cedrica boyhe and Mark. 1730 01:27:14,120 --> 01:27:16,240 Speaker 1: I love watching veterans that have been around for a 1731 01:27:16,320 --> 01:27:18,960 Speaker 1: while because you see things. You see him with hands 1732 01:27:19,000 --> 01:27:21,040 Speaker 1: and moves and you're like, whoa, I haven't seen that 1733 01:27:21,240 --> 01:27:23,880 Speaker 1: hands and moves. I mean he threw hands on Cedric 1734 01:27:23,920 --> 01:27:25,880 Speaker 1: the first time it just ripped right on by him. 1735 01:27:25,920 --> 01:27:28,000 Speaker 1: And then the second time said made a little bit 1736 01:27:28,000 --> 01:27:31,280 Speaker 1: of an adjustment, and Mario answered again with hands. Addison 1737 01:27:31,360 --> 01:27:34,200 Speaker 1: can be a big problem off the edge man and again, 1738 01:27:34,479 --> 01:27:37,280 Speaker 1: he and Jerry don't have to play Jerry Hughes. They 1739 01:27:37,320 --> 01:27:39,680 Speaker 1: don't have to play every single play. You've got a 1740 01:27:39,720 --> 01:27:44,320 Speaker 1: guy like Rashine Greene who can go a number of 1741 01:27:44,400 --> 01:27:47,760 Speaker 1: plays on the inside and the outside. And by the way, yeah, 1742 01:27:47,920 --> 01:27:50,519 Speaker 1: Mollie Collins, we got him coming into the twenty twenty 1743 01:27:50,560 --> 01:27:55,120 Speaker 1: one season. I was really excited because I wanted to see, like, Okay, 1744 01:27:55,200 --> 01:27:57,920 Speaker 1: can he find what I saw in Nebraska? Can he 1745 01:27:58,040 --> 01:28:01,080 Speaker 1: find that the really got me excited about him at 1746 01:28:01,160 --> 01:28:05,280 Speaker 1: Nebraska they quickness up. Boy, he looks not only as 1747 01:28:05,360 --> 01:28:08,160 Speaker 1: quick as I've seen him, but he looks powerful too. 1748 01:28:09,000 --> 01:28:11,519 Speaker 1: He lifted when I can't remember who was and I 1749 01:28:11,520 --> 01:28:13,400 Speaker 1: don't want to. I can't remember who was always going 1750 01:28:13,400 --> 01:28:16,280 Speaker 1: against Aja Can and aj Can try to try to 1751 01:28:16,360 --> 01:28:19,680 Speaker 1: quick set him, and Malik just forklifted him and then 1752 01:28:19,840 --> 01:28:21,760 Speaker 1: rip past him on one one rap and then aj 1753 01:28:21,880 --> 01:28:23,200 Speaker 1: held up on the bull rush in the next. But 1754 01:28:23,439 --> 01:28:26,160 Speaker 1: Malik just looks like a different player. I mean physically, 1755 01:28:26,240 --> 01:28:28,880 Speaker 1: he looks bigger ties and everything. He's really comfortable in 1756 01:28:29,000 --> 01:28:31,240 Speaker 1: love his system, right, and you know if people forget 1757 01:28:32,560 --> 01:28:36,080 Speaker 1: love Smith coach the Bears for about a decade, Yes, 1758 01:28:36,479 --> 01:28:39,120 Speaker 1: and let's go back and look at some of those defenses, 1759 01:28:39,200 --> 01:28:41,759 Speaker 1: most of those defenses, and what was always the problem 1760 01:28:41,800 --> 01:28:44,280 Speaker 1: with the Bears trying to get the offense consistent, right, 1761 01:28:44,400 --> 01:28:47,360 Speaker 1: find the quarterback at the offense consistent, Mike Marts And 1762 01:28:47,400 --> 01:28:50,160 Speaker 1: now that's not working either, just didn't work. Gott to 1763 01:28:50,240 --> 01:28:52,560 Speaker 1: find a way to get the offense going, because you know, 1764 01:28:52,720 --> 01:28:55,720 Speaker 1: this defense coached by Smith year two is going to 1765 01:28:55,960 --> 01:28:58,360 Speaker 1: get better. All right, We'll get to hear from m J. 1766 01:28:58,520 --> 01:29:01,320 Speaker 1: Stewart's safety again.
