Speaker 1: starting owing three and winning the division. It's a monumental

5
00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:22,520
Speaker 1: achievement and now we have to build on it. Five

6
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:26,520
Speaker 1: nights a week. They hits, keep on coming, kept from

00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:30,800

Speaker 1: I if I can, and one of those days is today.

17
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 1: And one of those reasons. One of the reasons I

18
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 1: do it, and probably the only reason I do I

19
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:12,759
Speaker 1: shouldn't say that I like seeing the people. So I'm

20
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:16,720

31
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:46,039

00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:48,600

33
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:50,960

00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 1: I want to I want to get this off by chest.

36
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 1: And that's what your man is here for. That's what

37
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 1: I'm here for, to let you get it off your

00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 1: chest if you need to, and in some cases, if

39
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 1: I've got to set you straight a little bit then

40
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:11,359
Speaker 1: and I will definitely do that. The Texans today, as

41
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 1: far as I know right now, and I'm checking social

42
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 1: media by the minute, I have not seen them add

43
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 1: anybody else to Sean Gibson Bradley Roby. Robie apparently will

44
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:23,679
Speaker 1: be here tomorrow. I believe that's the time frame. He

45
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 1: will be here tomorrow, and he will go through everything

46
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:29,040
Speaker 1: he's gonna do at the stadium. Hopefully we'll get a

47
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 1: chance to have him tomorrow on the radio when he

48
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 1: is here. So looking forward to talking to Bradley Roby,

49
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:37,800
Speaker 1: the newest Houston Texan. And it is the new league year,

50
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 1: so happy new year to all of you. And so

51
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 1: now we wait to see what else can happen. So

52
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:46,960
Speaker 1: let's get out to the phone line seven three five

53
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 1: seven two four six ten. Now, Joanne, I'm gonna need

54
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:52,399
Speaker 1: your help here. Okay, you got figgyback over there, so

55
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 1: you gotta help me out, Joanna. Let's go to Jason.

56
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:57,920
Speaker 1: He wants to talk a little. C J. Mosley. Jason,

57
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 1: what's going on? Oh man, how you doing doing good?

58
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 1: How are you? I'm all right? What you got? All right?

59
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 1: So I've got this. So CJ. Mosley was a free agent,

60
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 1: right he was. We have we have one of the

61
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 1: guys in terms of in terms of Whitney Merciless where

62
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:16,919
Speaker 1: we didn't know how to use him this year or

63
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 1: anything like that question or thought we could have obviously

64
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:26,359
Speaker 1: he signed. Now, we could have signed CJ. Mosley, put

65
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 1: Bernardrick McKenney in the spot of Whitney merciless, have CJ.

66
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 1: Mosley and Cunningham in the middle, and then obviously resigned Clowney.

67
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 1: What do you think of that, oh Jason. First of all,

68
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 1: it's a good thought. There's no way in hell the

69
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 1: Texans shows signed CJ. Mosley. And here's why. First of all,

70
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 1: you I think CJ. Mosley is one hell of an

71
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 1: n SL linebacker, But bringing him in and moving Bernardrick

72
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 1: to I'm not I'm not sure does really what you want.

73
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 1: You signed Bernardric to be your man in the middle,

74
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 1: if you will, that's what you signed Bernardric last year

75
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 1: to an extension to do. Plus, look at the cast

76
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:17,599
Speaker 1: at CJ. Mosley got, He got paid, capital paid paid.

77
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 1: There's no sense in sinking all that money into CJ.

78
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:23,919
Speaker 1: Moseley into one other guy and then not trying to

79
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 1: sign because you would have that money would have hamstrung

80
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 1: you in other positions. And I know, well, you got

81
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 1: seventy two million dollars in cap room. Look that cap

82
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 1: room goes up and smoke pretty quickly when you need

83
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 1: to have it. Like last year, you needed to have

84
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:40,360
Speaker 1: it to sign Tyra Matthew. You had seven million dollars available,

85
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:44,279
Speaker 1: you did it. So I like the thought that would

86
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:46,679
Speaker 1: have been one hell of an SEC defense here in Houston.

87
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:50,039
Speaker 1: But it just you weren't going to do that. Now,

88
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:54,839
Speaker 1: here's a couple of things to consider as it pertains

89
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:58,360
Speaker 1: to the defense. I don't know how as you just

90
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:03,480
Speaker 1: look at the personnel, I don't know how long you're

91
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:05,480
Speaker 1: gonna be a three four defense. I mean you might

92
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 1: be a fourth three defense. Because when you talk about

93
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 1: his linebackers, you've got to get deal with Cole on

94
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:12,920
Speaker 1: the field at some point. Dela Cole's a whale of

95
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:15,280
Speaker 1: football player. He's got to stay healthy. Like a number

96
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 1: of guys, he's got to stay healthy. But I'd like

97
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 1: to see Delacole get on the field a little bit

98
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 1: more so. I know that Texans are multiple in what

99
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 1: they do defensively anyways, but I don't think C. J.

100
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:31,039
Speaker 1: Mosley coming to the party would have made things any

101
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 1: any any better. Let's go to Neil, who's on the

102
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,160
Speaker 1: line seven three, five, two, four, six ten. Let's get

103
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 1: to Neil. Neil, what's up, buddy, Hey, how's it going? Right.

104
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 1: I saw that Houston's been let go by Kansas City

105
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 1: because he had a kind of a down year. But

106
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:50,720
Speaker 1: what do you think about the Texans possibly signing him?

107
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 1: Maybe twish you know, when you're showing me deal or

108
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:56,719
Speaker 1: a longer one since Merciless has kind of had a

109
00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 1: down year as well, to bolster that pass rush with

110
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 1: a three me in rotation. Interesting thought I think with

111
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 1: Justin Houston. And I've thought about this because I keep

112
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 1: going back to the thought that, man, you can't have

113
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:16,119
Speaker 1: enough pass rushers. But if you go and sign Justin

114
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:19,160
Speaker 1: Houston at that point, I don't think it's honestly a

115
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:21,159
Speaker 1: bad move. I just don't think it's something that they'll

116
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:23,040
Speaker 1: do because I think they'll look at it and say, look,

117
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:25,480
Speaker 1: we're gonna have to sing money into Clowney. We're gonna

118
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 1: we got money in Merciless and we've got money and

119
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 1: what we've got to we've got to go with those guys,

120
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:32,240
Speaker 1: and we got Duke edge of four that we've got

121
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 1: to try and groom because look, JJ's what thirty thirty one,

122
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:39,119
Speaker 1: you know, WIT's getting up there. He's drafted in twenty twelve.

123
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 1: That feels like eons ago and Justin Houston was drafted

124
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 1: in twenty eleven. I don't know if you'll be able

125
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 1: to get any kind of hometown discount or anything for

126
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,719
Speaker 1: Justin Houston. So you're gonna pay a decent amount for

127
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:52,839
Speaker 1: him eleven twelve million. Look, I get it, I understand

128
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:55,120
Speaker 1: what you want to do. But you had a hard

129
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:58,279
Speaker 1: enough time last year getting Whitney Merciless out on the field.

130
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 1: How are you gonna get all those guys out in

131
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 1: the field. I think that's gonna be that that ends

132
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 1: up being kind of a glut of guys. And then

133
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 1: at that point, are you wasting money on the one year,

134
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 1: you know, prove it deal? And I don't know that

135
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 1: Justin Houston really needs to prove it. I think there

136
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 1: are some guys that have, like Tyme. We talked about

137
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 1: that with Tyrn. Tyrant took a one year, seven million

138
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 1: dollars deal to prove it. Well. He was coming off

139
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 1: you know, he had been injured a number of you

140
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 1: know a number of years. You know, Bradley Robies, He's

141
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 1: gonna take a one year ten million dollar deal because

142
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 1: I think there were some inconsistency issues in his game

143
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 1: last year that he felt like, hey, if I smooth

144
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 1: those out, then I can get the I can get

145
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 1: the big deal. You know, aj Boye a few years

146
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 1: ago he was offered a long term deal by the

147
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 1: Texans and he turned it down. He's like, no, I'm

148
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:39,560
Speaker 1: gonna play on this one year deal because I'm ana

149
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 1: prove that I'm much better player than that long term deal.

150
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 1: So from that perspective, I think justin Houston probably not

151
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 1: the right way to go. All right, Joanna, Let's go

152
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 1: to Chris on line. To Chris, what's going on, my man?

153
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 1: How you doing well? When we trafted Kevin Johnson, he

154
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 1: had a pretty good rookie year. Thinks are looking really positive,

155
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 1: and then it seemed like this went downhill from their

156
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 1: injuries obviously being a huge factor. Being a flight guy,

157
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 1: that was a concern going in inside the building. Is

158
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 1: that viewed in retrospect as a good draft choice it

159
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 1: just went bad to the injuries beyond the control or

160
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 1: a bad decision based on a flawed hope that he

161
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 1: could stay healthy. Oh, Chris, that's a great question. I

162
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 1: think the way they look at in the building is

163
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 1: it didn't work, period, Like that's the end of it.

164
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 1: Whether it was and I think internally, they're probably discussions about, Okay,

165
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:38,720
Speaker 1: why didn't this work? Are we looking at it as

166
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:40,679
Speaker 1: it was injuries? This is the way that I look

167
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 1: at it. In twenty sixteen, when the Texans played the

168
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:46,200
Speaker 1: Colts on that Sunday night game, the one the comeback

169
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 1: which I'm still trying to figure out how Brock Goswather

170
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:52,320
Speaker 1: did it, but he did. In that comeback game, the

171
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:54,960
Speaker 1: Texans beat the Colts at night and helped Tui Hilton

172
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 1: the three catches for I think it was like forty

173
00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:59,720
Speaker 1: six yards something along those lines, and Kevin was a

174
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:04,319
Speaker 1: big part in that. Now, Kevin didn't miss the rest

175
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 1: of the season because t Y Hilton ran him over

176
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 1: and he broke a collar bone or you know, one

177
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 1: of those things. He broke a foot and he injured

178
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:16,320
Speaker 1: his foot, and that's what it was. So so yes,

179
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:19,440
Speaker 1: him being slight had something to do with maybe the

180
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:22,840
Speaker 1: concussions this year, but it really him being slight was

181
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 1: not a major factor in the injury that really shelved him.

182
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 1: Because if he doesn't get hurt that night against the Colts,

183
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:33,200
Speaker 1: then Kevin's on a trajectory on the opposite side of

184
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:36,440
Speaker 1: a J Boye and Jonathan Joseph where he needs to

185
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:39,720
Speaker 1: be and where he needed to be, but then that

186
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 1: foot set him back. He came back in twenty seventeen,

187
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 1: and then some struggles in twenty seventeen. I think his

188
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:47,680
Speaker 1: confidence was shaking a little bit. And obviously twenty eighteen

189
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 1: you look c. C. J. Fiedor, which is one of

190
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:55,320
Speaker 1: the biggest guys I've ever seen in my life, and

191
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 1: he had to retire because of concussions. So from that perspective,

192
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 1: concussions happy, those things are, they're They're going to happen,

193
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 1: and I think that's probably the way they would look

194
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 1: at it that Kevin because of the injuries, didn't work

195
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 1: out that way, I think. And I felt like he

196
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 1: had the skills, the footwork, the speed, the trans transitional

197
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:18,199
Speaker 1: quickness to be able to do it, But I think

198
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:19,599
Speaker 1: it was the injuries that ended up getting them. But

199
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:21,800
Speaker 1: I don't know if it was I don't know if

200
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:25,960
Speaker 1: it was something in which you could say in hindsight, yeah,

201
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 1: he was too slight. I don't know if that was

202
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 1: the case. Let's go to Preston Online one. Joanna Preston,

203
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:34,880
Speaker 1: what's going on? How you doing? I'm good man, are

204
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:38,800
Speaker 1: you I'm all right, man, what you got. So we

205
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:41,480
Speaker 1: talked about offensive linement, and we don't feel that Brian

206
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 1: Game thinks they're worriedly signs these monster contracts. So do

207
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 1: you think Brian Games looking at teams that are five

208
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:51,680
Speaker 1: six win teams that are kind of looking to tear

209
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:54,680
Speaker 1: down like the Browns did, to find a to find

210
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 1: an offensive tackle or an offensive line or how maybe

211
00:10:57,400 --> 00:11:00,120
Speaker 1: a cornerback that could fit our needs with a been

212
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 1: round draft pick that would be a better best than

213
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:04,839
Speaker 1: say a third or fourth or a fifth round pick.

214
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 1: At this point, well, I think here's the thing. All

215
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:10,200
Speaker 1: along with the offensive up let me start with the

216
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:12,559
Speaker 1: offensive line pressing, because I think the dbs are a

217
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:14,320
Speaker 1: little different. I do think there was a little there

218
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:16,200
Speaker 1: was a little bit of depth in the dB market.

219
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:22,720
Speaker 1: There just hasn't been any depth in the offensive line

220
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:24,920
Speaker 1: market the last two years. If you think about this

221
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 1: last year, I sat here on his day and waited

222
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:31,840
Speaker 1: for Nate Solder to sign. He hadn't signed. I remember

223
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:34,680
Speaker 1: doing this show on Wednesday and he hadn't signed. He

224
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 1: signed I think either later in the night Wednesday after

225
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 1: I was off the air, or the next day Thursday

226
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:42,800
Speaker 1: and he got a massive contract, and of course everybody

227
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:45,600
Speaker 1: was upset. And the point was the Texas were in

228
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:48,840
Speaker 1: that and then of course got priced out and he

229
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:51,439
Speaker 1: wednesdayed with the Giant or stayed in the Northeast and

230
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 1: went with the New York Giants. There other than Solder,

231
00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:58,679
Speaker 1: look around the league and go, wait a second, where

232
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:01,880
Speaker 1: are all the free agent tackles. There aren't any in

233
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 1: the same thing this year. Beyond tramp Brown, the next

234
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:07,560
Speaker 1: two guys. The next two guys on the list are

235
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:11,160
Speaker 1: Juwan James coming off an injury from last year, and

236
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 1: Darry Williams and Dry Williams decided to stay with Carolina

237
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 1: on a one year, seven million dollars deal coming off

238
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 1: that injury as well. So that's it. I mean. They attempted,

239
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:27,080
Speaker 1: apparently to go after Roger Staffold. He's a guard now.

240
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 1: He played tackle some in college. I don't think they

241
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:32,040
Speaker 1: would have moved him to tackle, but he did play.

242
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:34,960
Speaker 1: He did play tackling college, but I would imagine they

243
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:36,439
Speaker 1: wanted him to be a guard. He ended up signing

244
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 1: with Tennessee. The glut of safeties is one thing, the

245
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:48,600
Speaker 1: dearth of offensive tackles out there. There's nothing, There's just nothing,

246
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,440
Speaker 1: so a tramp around. Decided to go to Oakland. At

247
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:55,440
Speaker 1: that point, you know, we're looking in the draft. That's

248
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 1: where it's got to be. It's got to happen in

249
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:03,880
Speaker 1: the draft. Seven one three, five, seven, two four six ten,

250
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 1: seven three five seven two four six ten. You guys,

251
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 1: hang on the line. I gotta get a break or

252
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:10,960
Speaker 1: Joanna is gonna get really really mad at me because

253
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 1: over the other I don't take breaks over there. I

254
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 1: just kind of handle my business and just go seven

255
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:18,720
Speaker 1: one three five seven two four six ten. Nick, I

256
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:20,760
Speaker 1: see you want to talk about the draft. Patrick, He's

257
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:22,720
Speaker 1: got everything. He's got a PULPII of things that he

258
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 1: wants to talk about that. We'll do that next right

269
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:16,439
Speaker 1: Let's talk to Nick online to Nick. What's going on, buddy?

270
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 1: How you doing good? What's up of John Um? I

271
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:22,800
Speaker 1: have a couple of questions. I know you want Dillard

272
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 1: at twenty three, but if he's gone, would you take Chrisner?

273
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:29,120
Speaker 1: Or is that a little too early for him? And

274
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:32,240
Speaker 1: then I was gonna say, who's your like favorite running

275
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:36,680
Speaker 1: back in the draft for the Texans, because Devin Singletary

276
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:38,760
Speaker 1: seems like he would be like really good for us

277
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 1: because of how hard he runs. And then James Williams

278
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 1: from WSU he seems like more of like Ah White,

279
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 1: the what's that running back from Patriots? Oh James White? Yeah,

280
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:54,720
Speaker 1: James White? And yeah, thank that's it? You got it? Uh? Nick,

281
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 1: excellent job. All right, let's let's hit on all those.

282
00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:58,560
Speaker 1: First of all, I don't think Dillard gets us at

283
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:02,600
Speaker 1: twenty three. That's Andre Dillard left tackle Washington State. I

284
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:05,840
Speaker 1: don't think he gets to us when he got done

285
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:08,120
Speaker 1: with the combine. I just looked at Mark Vannimir and said, Nope,

286
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:13,560
Speaker 1: that's over. Then Nick asked about Dalton Reiser. He's very

287
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:17,560
Speaker 1: intriguing to me, and I love Reisener. Andre Ware, who

288
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 1: is our analysts for games. He's you know, Andrea nineteen

289
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:23,080
Speaker 1: and nine Heisman Trophy winner. He called a Kansas State

290
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:25,000
Speaker 1: game and in their production mean, they got to meet

291
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:29,480
Speaker 1: Dalton Reiser and he came back and he was like,

292
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:31,480
Speaker 1: during one of the breaks the game, he just all

293
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 1: of a sudden, it is kind of quiet, and goes Johnny.

294
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 1: It's like what. He goes, Dalton Reiser, what do you think?

295
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:38,080
Speaker 1: I was like, I love him. He goes, Oh, this

296
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:41,480
Speaker 1: guy's great. He is the kind of guy I think

297
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 1: would fit perfectly for us. Now the question with Reisener

298
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 1: becomes is he a guard or is he a tackle?

299
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:53,320
Speaker 1: And I think he could play right tackle, but he's

300
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 1: probably better shuited to be an interior alignment. But here's

301
00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:58,240
Speaker 1: the thing, and I thought about this after the Rogers

302
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:02,360
Speaker 1: Staffold news when we found out that the Texas had

303
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:04,960
Speaker 1: been in on Roger Staffold, who is the guard for

304
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:08,920
Speaker 1: the La Rams, who, by the way, take a look

305
00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:11,520
Speaker 1: at the offensive line for the La Rams and think

306
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:15,880
Speaker 1: about Todd Gurley's tennant nitis and his knees, that offense

307
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:20,000
Speaker 1: may not be as good, But then again, I play

308
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:22,600
Speaker 1: having to play a game tonight, so don't worry about

309
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:24,840
Speaker 1: that anyway. Riisner, I think is a guy that could

310
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:28,800
Speaker 1: end up playing either positions, so I wouldn't rule it

311
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 1: out here. For the Texas, I think twenty three is

312
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 1: probably just a spot or too early, but that I

313
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:36,840
Speaker 1: don't sweat that now. With a guy like that, where

314
00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:39,480
Speaker 1: I know he would step in to starting line up

315
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:42,360
Speaker 1: pretty much right away and be a factor. Running backwise,

316
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:47,080
Speaker 1: I love Montgomery from Iowa State. He's one of my favorites. Listen,

317
00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:50,840
Speaker 1: they're all these running backs. To me, I can make

318
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 1: a case for. I mean, Lamar Miller the ata foreman.

319
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:54,920
Speaker 1: There's gotta be another one added. And I know a

320
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:57,440
Speaker 1: lot of people have been tweeting about oh Alfred Blues

321
00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:00,280
Speaker 1: coming back. Look, even if Alfred does come back, so

322
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 1: what he gives you something on special teams? He has

323
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:06,639
Speaker 1: been valuable in your time of need. I think with

324
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:10,480
Speaker 1: this draft class, you can get better in all facets

325
00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:12,240
Speaker 1: of ball carry and catch the ball in the backfield.

326
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:15,359
Speaker 1: All that with these guys I love Trevion Williams from

327
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:17,960
Speaker 1: my Tech sat M. Devin Singletary is a guy that

328
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:23,320
Speaker 1: Nick asked about. And Devin's got he's got some wiggle.

329
00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:25,679
Speaker 1: Is that the right way of saying that he's got

330
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:28,920
Speaker 1: some wiggle? He's got some Shakira hips if you will

331
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:32,200
Speaker 1: Shakira hips and Sammy Davis feet, you'll know who Sammy

332
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:35,640
Speaker 1: Davis is. Joanna is looking at me like, no, let's

333
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:42,720
Speaker 1: see who. I gotta figure out who? Gosh, who can dance? Usher? No,

334
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:45,320
Speaker 1: Chris Brown? You know Chris Brown? Yeah, Chris Brown can dance,

335
00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 1: all right, Chris Brown. Hopefully it doesn't turn out like

336
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:49,679
Speaker 1: Chris Brown. So maybe that's a bad example, but you

337
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:52,920
Speaker 1: get the point. There are a lot of different flavors

338
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:55,960
Speaker 1: of running back in this class. Travis Homer is one

339
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:57,879
Speaker 1: way off the radar screen from the University of Miami

340
00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:00,800
Speaker 1: that I really really like. Well to combine, my buddy

341
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:02,359
Speaker 1: lands Zerline asked me, he goes, who do you like

342
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:05,120
Speaker 1: running back? Wise? And it's not one of Whenever Lance

343
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 1: asked me that I know he's asking me about value

344
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:09,640
Speaker 1: guys like late day two, day three guys, and immediately

345
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:12,560
Speaker 1: said Travis Homer and then Homer just destroyed the combine.

346
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:15,880
Speaker 1: So those are those are a few things I think

347
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:19,040
Speaker 1: you really with this running back class. I don't know

348
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:21,080
Speaker 1: that you really can go wrong with a number of

349
00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:23,639
Speaker 1: these guys. Trevion Williams can give you a lot of

350
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:25,480
Speaker 1: third down to Billy. James Williams is another guy that

351
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:29,719
Speaker 1: Nick mentioned. He caught eighty three passes as a running

352
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:33,320
Speaker 1: back at Washington State. That's Washington State's offense. The question is,

353
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:35,800
Speaker 1: do you even know what kind of running back he'll be?

354
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:37,359
Speaker 1: You know what kind of receiver will be? Do you

355
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:39,120
Speaker 1: know what kind of running back he's gonna be. He's

356
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:41,720
Speaker 1: intriguing as heck. I know that, So I definitely would

357
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:44,800
Speaker 1: consider James James Williams as well. All Right, Joanne, let's

358
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:47,680
Speaker 1: go to line three. Talk to Patrick. I know he

359
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:50,120
Speaker 1: wants to love Patrick. What's going on? How you doing? Hey?

360
00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:52,240
Speaker 1: What's going on? John? I feel like I'm talking to

361
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:54,080
Speaker 1: a celebrity right now. I think you're one of my

362
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:58,080
Speaker 1: favorite football personality just in the game period and one

363
00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:00,200
Speaker 1: little caveat. Keep doing what you're doing and you'll a

364
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:02,359
Speaker 1: GM one day. Look what happened to Mayok? You know

365
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:05,480
Speaker 1: I appreciate it. Man? What you got, man, I just

366
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:07,960
Speaker 1: don't know. I would two things real quick, And it's

367
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 1: kind of like a liability versus studs. So like with

368
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:15,520
Speaker 1: your offensive line, would you, in your theory say that

369
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:18,280
Speaker 1: your offensive line would you prefer? Obviously we'd like to

370
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:20,919
Speaker 1: have studs across the board, But when designing and building

371
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:24,480
Speaker 1: a team, would you prefer because last year our offensive

372
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:27,040
Speaker 1: line was a liability at times we saw them before

373
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:29,560
Speaker 1: we all saw what happened. So when you're when you're

374
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:32,439
Speaker 1: throwing together a team, would you say, like, let's just

375
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:35,359
Speaker 1: make sure our offensive line isn't the reason we lose.

376
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:37,600
Speaker 1: So if we get guys here and there, or do

377
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:39,640
Speaker 1: you really try to swing for the fences and get

378
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:43,720
Speaker 1: your Trent Browns or not? And then, last, but not least, um,

379
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:46,480
Speaker 1: how do you tell the difference between a left or

380
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 1: a right tackle when you're when you're evaluating. But that's

381
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:51,320
Speaker 1: all I got, John, you the man, that's your I

382
00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:53,159
Speaker 1: appreciate it. Thank you for the kind words. Man. That

383
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:55,960
Speaker 1: means a lot. I think one question sort of answers

384
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 1: the other one you're asking about. Are you looking for

385
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:02,199
Speaker 1: essentially a stud offensive lineman or you're looking for a

386
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 1: stud athlete versus are you looking for somebody that's serviceable?

387
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 1: And when you look at tackles in particular, you know

388
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:12,720
Speaker 1: when I looked at Andre Dillard the first time and

389
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:15,280
Speaker 1: I saw him move his feet. Now he's playing left tackles,

390
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:17,560
Speaker 1: So when you see a guy play that position, you

391
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:19,960
Speaker 1: get kind of locked in, like, all right, that's a

392
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 1: left tackle. The toughest part is projection, and that's what

393
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:26,840
Speaker 1: the personnel scout. Personnel scouts Brian Gaye, that's what they

394
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:28,800
Speaker 1: do all the time. Hey what about this guy in

395
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:30,879
Speaker 1: this position? Could you see him over here? And then

396
00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:33,200
Speaker 1: it's just kind of taking in all their athletic abilities.

397
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:34,720
Speaker 1: Just watch him on tape. Does he have the feet

398
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:36,760
Speaker 1: to do it? That's one of the biggest things. Does

399
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:39,520
Speaker 1: he have the feet? As far as you know what

400
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:43,920
Speaker 1: I go for. I think the question kind of maybe

401
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:47,400
Speaker 1: that Patrick is asking is would you package a few

402
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:51,000
Speaker 1: picks to maybe move up in the first round to

403
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:53,359
Speaker 1: make sure that I got a bona fide and left

404
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:56,399
Speaker 1: tackle stud athlete, like a guy like Andre Dillard or

405
00:20:56,440 --> 00:21:00,280
Speaker 1: maybe Juwan Taylor, Or do I want to stay they're

406
00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:04,240
Speaker 1: at twenty three and end up taking a guy that's good,

407
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 1: maybe like Dalton Reiser, who who's very good, but he's

408
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:12,320
Speaker 1: not of the class of the others. I don't want

409
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:15,320
Speaker 1: to say it depends, but look my when it for me,

410
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 1: I've always said, let me start with the offense and

411
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:23,200
Speaker 1: defensive lines. Now quarterbacks had the whole different conversation. I mean,

412
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:27,680
Speaker 1: that's but I better win on my lines. I've got

413
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:31,600
Speaker 1: to my lines have better, they better be good, and

414
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:34,720
Speaker 1: then everything else will fit in place. If you look

415
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:36,480
Speaker 1: at the New England Patriots this past year, and I know,

416
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:38,280
Speaker 1: look they've got Tom Brady and I know they've got

417
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:41,560
Speaker 1: to the pieces, but Trent Brown played really well for them.

418
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:44,000
Speaker 1: Joe Tuney they put in as a second rounder. David

419
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:46,639
Speaker 1: Andrews from day one as an undrafted guy has been

420
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:50,240
Speaker 1: a star. Shack Mason was another undrafted guy, and then

421
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:55,720
Speaker 1: the right tackle was Marcus Cannon. Those guys have worked together.

422
00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:59,320
Speaker 1: You wouldn't say that any of them were studs coming

423
00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:02,439
Speaker 1: out of college. Solder was the stud coming out of

424
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:05,960
Speaker 1: college and they let him go. Trent Brown was not

425
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:09,359
Speaker 1: a stud going at University of Florida. So from that perspective,

426
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:14,639
Speaker 1: I want five guys up front that work together, that

427
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:18,920
Speaker 1: are versatile, will not back down can win one on one,

428
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:21,080
Speaker 1: and in the run game, they're gonna knock you off

429
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:24,040
Speaker 1: the ball a little bit. I don't want to have

430
00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:26,880
Speaker 1: an offensive line in which, well, I gotta run zone game,

431
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:30,040
Speaker 1: because that's just a side to side. I'll just let

432
00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:32,160
Speaker 1: my running back read all that. I want to knock

433
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:35,040
Speaker 1: people off the ball a little bit too. Yeah, maybe

434
00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:37,639
Speaker 1: I'm getting a little greedy, but I want to be

435
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:42,200
Speaker 1: able to move the football in numerous ways. So would

436
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:45,120
Speaker 1: I trade up to go get and Andre Dillard? Man?

437
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:47,720
Speaker 1: That cost is gonna be real. I would imagine it's

438
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:50,720
Speaker 1: gonna be pretty steep. That's said. You also have to

439
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:52,560
Speaker 1: play the draft board out and that is and what

440
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:55,320
Speaker 1: I mean by that is this draft, this tackle class

441
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:58,239
Speaker 1: is pretty deep. Yeah, I think Dillard is better than

442
00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:00,199
Speaker 1: some others, but it doesn't mean that I don't think

443
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:02,800
Speaker 1: the others could play. I think the others can definitely play.

444
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:05,320
Speaker 1: There's no question about that. All right, Joanna, Let's get

445
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:08,959
Speaker 1: the James. Who's on line one? Oh, we gotta break now.

446
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:10,680
Speaker 1: It suck the James real quick and then we'll break James.

447
00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:13,320
Speaker 1: What's going on? How you doing, Buddy good good? I

448
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:17,119
Speaker 1: just had one question about Clowney. I think now that

449
00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:20,840
Speaker 1: the big period has passed, the high dollar guys has passed,

450
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:23,639
Speaker 1: that we should go back and get him signed up,

451
00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 1: especially in light of the contracts signed by Trey Flowers,

452
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:31,600
Speaker 1: the two guys at Green Bay and d Ford. The

453
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:34,359
Speaker 1: d Ford and Trey Flowers look like they're gonna be

454
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:37,920
Speaker 1: above seventeen point five million. I think Tray Flowers came

455
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:41,240
Speaker 1: in at eighteen million, which is about three or four

456
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:45,880
Speaker 1: million more than what was projected because everybody was projecting

457
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:48,800
Speaker 1: off of the previous contracts of Hunter. So I want

458
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:51,080
Speaker 1: to just hear your opinion on that, and then an

459
00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:54,000
Speaker 1: opinion on the two guys at Mississippi State, the other

460
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:57,320
Speaker 1: two guys the defensive tackle in the safety, and I'll

461
00:23:57,320 --> 00:24:00,639
Speaker 1: hang up to listen. Love you though, Yeah, got you, James,

462
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:03,560
Speaker 1: good question. Look, with the Clowning contract, I don't know

463
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:07,560
Speaker 1: if you go to Jadevion now in a month or

464
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:10,800
Speaker 1: three months, I don't know that much is really gonna change,

465
00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:15,040
Speaker 1: to be honest, of what his demand is gonna be.

466
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:18,200
Speaker 1: I just don't think. I mean, seeing what those guys

467
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:22,040
Speaker 1: got is great, but I think my hunch is that

468
00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:25,560
Speaker 1: he was looking beyond those guys like those guys matter,

469
00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:29,120
Speaker 1: they matter, but they don't. Maybe maybe they now look

470
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:33,119
Speaker 1: at it and say, okay, that's kind of that's we

471
00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:36,040
Speaker 1: don't go below that. We're definitely going beyond that. But

472
00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:38,760
Speaker 1: I always, I already think they were going above that,

473
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:41,600
Speaker 1: above and beyond that. James, you're talking about the two

474
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:43,760
Speaker 1: Mississippi State player Joe and I'm gonna do this very quick.

475
00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:48,800
Speaker 1: Uh Simmons. Jeffrey Simmons I think is the best interior

476
00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:50,600
Speaker 1: defensive player in his draft. And I know people are

477
00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:54,439
Speaker 1: gonna be like what Jeffrey Simmons is an absolute dude.

478
00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:57,840
Speaker 1: He is a stud of all studs. He is a

479
00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:03,119
Speaker 1: man child. Hey, he tore his ACL in training for

480
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:05,200
Speaker 1: the draft, and I don't know whether he's gonna be

481
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:09,160
Speaker 1: ready for the twenty nineteen draft. And B I don't

482
00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:10,520
Speaker 1: know if I went one or two or A or B.

483
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:14,400
Speaker 1: But either way, the second part is just know there's

484
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:16,960
Speaker 1: a video out there of an incident that happened in

485
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:19,560
Speaker 1: high school. I notes in high school, but I guarantee

486
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:22,600
Speaker 1: you when people see it, it's not gonna be great.

487
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:25,359
Speaker 1: Now it's kind of been under the weeds a little

488
00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:28,560
Speaker 1: bit because he's been out of side out of mind

489
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:30,680
Speaker 1: because of the injury, and maybe that's a good thing.

490
00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:33,160
Speaker 1: To be honest, you didn't have any issues at Misissippi

491
00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:35,919
Speaker 1: State Ondications and my buddies, the color analysts there from

492
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:38,040
Speaker 1: Missisippi State, said he's a great kid. He's done a

493
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:42,320
Speaker 1: great job. But I think he's a tricky situation on

494
00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:45,199
Speaker 1: a lot of different levels. Jonathan Abram as a safety

495
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:47,840
Speaker 1: as everything you want a safety. To me, he's a

496
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:50,800
Speaker 1: pissed off Daniel Manning. That's the way I look at him,

497
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:54,800
Speaker 1: Daniel Manning like I see kind of the same body type,

498
00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:57,200
Speaker 1: the speed, I see all those things that Daniel Manning had.

499
00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:02,199
Speaker 1: But Abram plays the game angry. He's always talking trash.

500
00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:04,640
Speaker 1: He was at the Senior Bowl and he was injured

501
00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:07,240
Speaker 1: and he was on the sidelines and he was still

502
00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:13,199
Speaker 1: talking trash to everybody everybody. I love his game. I

503
00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:16,840
Speaker 1: love it. But I think because you have put some

504
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:20,080
Speaker 1: resources in Gibson and you have Hall and Read already,

505
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:21,760
Speaker 1: I don't know that you go that direction to the

506
00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:24,840
Speaker 1: draft where you would need to, because I think Abram's

507
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:27,440
Speaker 1: off the board no later than the middle of the

508
00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:30,040
Speaker 1: second round, and you'll have to go obviously off at

509
00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:33,080
Speaker 1: the tackle corner. I would imagine at those two positions.

510
00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:34,840
Speaker 1: All right, we got a little bit of news, a

511
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:37,680
Speaker 1: little bit. It's a visit. It's not a signing, it's

512
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:39,359
Speaker 1: a visit. So we'll talk about that. Take more of

517
00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:05,600
Speaker 1: Final segment, Texas All Access. Kyle Murray had his pro

518
00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:08,840
Speaker 1: day today. Get all excited about him, throwing in shorts

519
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:12,440
Speaker 1: of T shirt, but look good. I guess he didn't

520
00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:15,120
Speaker 1: get measured again, which is kind of weird. I mean,

521
00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:17,639
Speaker 1: it's like gaming the system. How much you want to bet?

522
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:20,840
Speaker 1: I'll bet you. I bet you a hundred bucks. Ed

523
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:23,000
Speaker 1: Oliver does not step on a scale at his pro

524
00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:28,160
Speaker 1: day at Houston. I guarantee it. Guarantee it. All right, four,

525
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:31,040
Speaker 1: I get back off the phones. Justin hanging. Got a

526
00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:34,960
Speaker 1: question about the offensive line, buddy. Aaron Wilson tweeted this

527
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:38,760
Speaker 1: out near about twenty minutes ago. Twenty twenty five minutes ago,

528
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:43,320
Speaker 1: LH almost said San Diego, La Chargers corner. Jason Varette

529
00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:48,040
Speaker 1: to visit the Texans after he visits to San Francisco

530
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:50,800
Speaker 1: forty nine Ers. Now, the forty nine Ers corner situation

531
00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:56,640
Speaker 1: is a killer Weatherspoon and Richard Sherman, but I could

532
00:27:56,760 --> 00:28:01,080
Speaker 1: see Verrette in a nickel role for them. He's not

533
00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:03,439
Speaker 1: a big guy. He's five Tanni's about one hundred and

534
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:06,760
Speaker 1: eight one hundred eighty five. I loved him coming out

535
00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:09,600
Speaker 1: of TCU, loved him. I loved him as a nickel.

536
00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:12,600
Speaker 1: I thought he would be the best nickel. He just

537
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:16,879
Speaker 1: hasn't been able to stay healthy. That's been Jason Vrett's issue.

538
00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:20,280
Speaker 1: If he stays healthy, he's a true baller, but he

539
00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:24,239
Speaker 1: just hasn't been able to stay healthy. I would love

540
00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:26,960
Speaker 1: to see him in our building. He'd be very intriguing

541
00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:29,560
Speaker 1: from that perspective. The other news that I read earlier

542
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:33,080
Speaker 1: was that the Minnesota Vikings are shopping Trey Wayne's first

543
00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:35,120
Speaker 1: round corner. I believe that was in twenty fifteen, maybe

544
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:37,639
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen, but they're shopping Trey Waynes, who played at

545
00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:41,720
Speaker 1: Michigan State and the player I would most compare him to.

546
00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:45,040
Speaker 1: This is tough, but I would compare him to Kevin Johnson.

547
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:47,160
Speaker 1: I think he's got all the assets and all the

548
00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:51,520
Speaker 1: traits you're looking for, just hasn't come together. But that's

549
00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:53,400
Speaker 1: who I would compare it to. But Jason Varrette or

550
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:56,480
Speaker 1: the Chargers is taking a visit. Trey Waynes is being

551
00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:58,800
Speaker 1: shot by Minnesota. Now there's no word whether the Texas

552
00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:01,920
Speaker 1: are in Entrey Waynes in those trade discussions, but anything

553
00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:04,120
Speaker 1: having to a corner I would imagine the Texans are

554
00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:05,920
Speaker 1: going to be involved with. All right, Joanne, let's go

555
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:08,440
Speaker 1: to line too and talk to Justin. Justine, what's going

556
00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:11,600
Speaker 1: on and how you doing? Pretty good? Man? Hey, question.

557
00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:15,360
Speaker 1: Let's say we boost this offensive line and it's still

558
00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:17,480
Speaker 1: not as good as as we wanted to be. At

559
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:20,560
Speaker 1: what point do we start to question? Devlin? I hang

560
00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:25,400
Speaker 1: up to listen. Well, I think every year that you,

561
00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:29,560
Speaker 1: you know, have struggles at a particular position, you know,

562
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:34,080
Speaker 1: I think you're gonna end up looking at everything, and

563
00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:36,760
Speaker 1: I think the coaching staff does. I think I think

564
00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:39,479
Speaker 1: Cal McNair. I think it starts with Cal and Janice.

565
00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:43,040
Speaker 1: They they look at everything, and then obviously it gets

566
00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:45,480
Speaker 1: down at everybody's department. So Jamie Roots is the president

567
00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:48,760
Speaker 1: he looks at his think yo, Mark is the boss

568
00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:50,920
Speaker 1: of my department. He's always looking at his thing. And

569
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:55,240
Speaker 1: Bill O'Brien and Brian Gain are always looking at their staff,

570
00:29:56,280 --> 00:30:00,840
Speaker 1: at their at how things. You know. On the personnel side,

571
00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:04,240
Speaker 1: you know the scouts, they're oh, listen, they're always looking

572
00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:10,040
Speaker 1: at it. Always from the perspective with Dev, I know

573
00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:16,480
Speaker 1: people will say, well, wait a second, that's that offensive line.

574
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:18,240
Speaker 1: It's not been good. Oh, you know. Coaching fund I

575
00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:21,240
Speaker 1: like the way adjustin put that. I think you've got

576
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:26,240
Speaker 1: to give Dev some tools to work with. And I

577
00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:29,520
Speaker 1: think last year was a difficult situation, as was twenty seventeen. Look,

578
00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:32,840
Speaker 1: I mean no offense brno. Jocomini should not have been

579
00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:35,800
Speaker 1: on a field in twenty seventeen. But the Texans were

580
00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:38,760
Speaker 1: forced into that. And when you say forced into that,

581
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:40,760
Speaker 1: we'll think about it. They didn't have a second rounder

582
00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:43,480
Speaker 1: in twenty seventeen, and they're a first rounder obviously because

583
00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:44,800
Speaker 1: of the Shawn so I understood that. But they didn't

584
00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:47,400
Speaker 1: have a first second rounder in twenty seventeen where they

585
00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:50,200
Speaker 1: could have drafted an offensive lineman. They had to wait

586
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:52,360
Speaker 1: until until round four, where they were able to get

587
00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:56,920
Speaker 1: Julian Julion came with the Sean draft, so they had

588
00:30:56,920 --> 00:30:59,720
Speaker 1: to get Martinez in third round last year. So they

589
00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:01,800
Speaker 1: were without those picks in twenty eighteen, I should say

590
00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:06,080
Speaker 1: not twenty seventeen, and so that sort of limited what

591
00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:07,760
Speaker 1: they could do. A lot of the great linemen were

592
00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:09,520
Speaker 1: off the board. Heck, if they've been drafting where their

593
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:12,959
Speaker 1: draft position was, maybe they draft Quintin Nelson. And how

594
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:15,520
Speaker 1: good does Quintin Nelson make you look as a coach.

595
00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:19,680
Speaker 1: I think Dev's a really good coach. I think adding

596
00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:23,280
Speaker 1: pieces that they're about to get in this draft, young

597
00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:26,720
Speaker 1: pieces that you draft and develop and put them in

598
00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:30,760
Speaker 1: with guys like Martinez, Rankin and Nick Martin and see

599
00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:33,600
Speaker 1: what those guys are all able to do together, and

600
00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:36,000
Speaker 1: then see where we are. But I don't think there's

601
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:37,880
Speaker 1: any questions got to get better. Look. I was at

602
00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:39,520
Speaker 1: the Senior Bowl and I said Andre Dillard. I said,

603
00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:45,040
Speaker 1: I said, I said, yeah, we could really use you.

604
00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:46,400
Speaker 1: And he kind of looked at me and I said,

605
00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:49,400
Speaker 1: we gave up sixty two sacks last year. He looked

606
00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:52,320
Speaker 1: at me like I was speaking a third language. He

607
00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:54,680
Speaker 1: said what And I said, I said, you heard me.

608
00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:58,120
Speaker 1: We gave up sixty two sacks last year, and that

609
00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:01,160
Speaker 1: didn't compute for a guy that gave up I think

610
00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:05,800
Speaker 1: one sack all year. So yes, it's college versus NFL.

611
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:08,800
Speaker 1: It's a different ball game, but it didn't compute for

612
00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:13,280
Speaker 1: him at all. So let's take those sixty two sacks

613
00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:16,360
Speaker 1: and let's just say what's improved. Let's cut him in half.

614
00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:18,440
Speaker 1: Let's cut him in a half. Let's cut it to

615
00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:23,800
Speaker 1: thirty one and thirty one still, I mean, that's just

616
00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:27,080
Speaker 1: a shade under two a game. But there were games

617
00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:29,720
Speaker 1: last year would we go up? There was seven against Buffalo.

618
00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:32,280
Speaker 1: I know that already was in games we gave up

619
00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:33,840
Speaker 1: seven sacks. I think we end up winning the game.

620
00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:39,320
Speaker 1: Indie Week four, Buffalo Week six. I don't know how many.

621
00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:41,400
Speaker 1: I think Indie got us. I think Indie got the

622
00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:44,600
Speaker 1: Shawn seven times. Here we lost that one. Your luck

623
00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:46,320
Speaker 1: eventually runs out. You go up seven sacks, you not

624
00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:49,160
Speaker 1: could end up winning the game. But I don't think

625
00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:55,920
Speaker 1: there's any question amongst coaches, the players, the offensive side

626
00:32:55,920 --> 00:33:00,120
Speaker 1: of the ball, they all know that can't happen in

627
00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:10,240
Speaker 1: everybody knows that. So everybody is on notice everyone and

628
00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:15,560
Speaker 1: look the sacks do not all come from the offensive line.

629
00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:20,400
Speaker 1: I've said this a million times. Quarterback not throwing the ball,

630
00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:24,120
Speaker 1: receivers not running the right routes, tight ends, and running

631
00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:25,960
Speaker 1: backs not picking up a blitz like they're supposed to.

632
00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:28,080
Speaker 1: I don't know how many of those sacks you can

633
00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:37,480
Speaker 1: attribute to other means, but everybody contributed to it. Everybody,

634
00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:41,280
Speaker 1: So all those things get a little bit better. And

635
00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:42,560
Speaker 1: this is one of the things that I brought up

636
00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:45,840
Speaker 1: during the Philly game. After the Philly game, I looked

637
00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:48,120
Speaker 1: out at one point in the fourth quarter, you had

638
00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:51,000
Speaker 1: a third down touchdown throw that Deshaun through to Vincent Smith.

639
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:53,800
Speaker 1: Remember that, and I went through the offense. Vincent Smith

640
00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:57,840
Speaker 1: was active for the second time all year, the third time, sorry,

641
00:33:57,960 --> 00:34:00,960
Speaker 1: third time all year, and he was next to deanre

642
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:03,600
Speaker 1: at Carter, who had been there for seven weeks. He

643
00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:07,000
Speaker 1: was next to Jordan Nakins, who was a rookie and

644
00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:12,600
Speaker 1: luckily not anymore. On the other side was Hopkins. You

645
00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:15,400
Speaker 1: had an offensive line. Juliana his first year as a starter,

646
00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:17,840
Speaker 1: Senel Collum that day and his first year as a starter,

647
00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:21,160
Speaker 1: Nick Martin his second year, Zack Fulton his first year

648
00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:23,400
Speaker 1: with the Texas, a starter and Kenneth Lamb in his

649
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:25,400
Speaker 1: first year as a starter. Think about the things you

650
00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:28,479
Speaker 1: do on a daily basis. What if you do them

651
00:34:28,520 --> 00:34:31,000
Speaker 1: over and over and over again, and you do them

652
00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:34,080
Speaker 1: year after year after year, you get better. Right, look

653
00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:41,080
Speaker 1: at Kansas City, Kelsey Tyreek, the offensive line, those pieces

654
00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:45,400
Speaker 1: had all been together. They just plopped Patrick Mahomes right

655
00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:50,040
Speaker 1: into that. You've got to have some continuity and the

656
00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:53,360
Speaker 1: Texas didn't have that. Now you gotta have the right personnel, coaching,

657
00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:54,759
Speaker 1: all that kind of stuff, So all of it comes

658
00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:57,239
Speaker 1: into play. But the offensive line's gotta be better. There's

659
00:34:57,320 --> 00:35:02,719
Speaker 1: no doubt, none whatsoever. It's gotta be better. But everybody

660
00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:07,720
Speaker 1: is aware of this. All right, Let's go to line one. Joanna,

661
00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:11,719
Speaker 1: is this about Buddy? George? Is John? Hey George, what's

662
00:35:11,719 --> 00:35:14,760
Speaker 1: going on? How you Buddy? And well? John? Look, anybody

663
00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:17,280
Speaker 1: who wanted to Brown knows that Nolan the Magician once

664
00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:20,920
Speaker 1: left King Arthur's courts. I'm sure you know that. Yes,

665
00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:27,520
Speaker 1: if there's a statistical probability to Deshaun Watsool, there's two

666
00:35:27,560 --> 00:35:32,000
Speaker 1: point four games this year the backup quarterback, that's a

667
00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:36,120
Speaker 1: great question, George, and I the one of the first

668
00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:38,640
Speaker 1: options was Tarrod Taylor. That was the first one that

669
00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:40,840
Speaker 1: popped into mind. And he's gonna end up going to

670
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:45,480
Speaker 1: the La Chargers. I'll tell you one that that somebody

671
00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:47,200
Speaker 1: hit me with. I think in the end it might

672
00:35:47,239 --> 00:35:50,200
Speaker 1: be Brandon Wheaton, just because Brandon knows this offense, he

673
00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:52,879
Speaker 1: knows Deshaun. I think that's gonna make for a good

674
00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:55,360
Speaker 1: quarterback room. And if you got to go to Brandon,

675
00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:56,920
Speaker 1: you at least know you can throw it around a

676
00:35:56,960 --> 00:35:58,839
Speaker 1: little bit because he could sling it. There's no question

677
00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:00,520
Speaker 1: about that. So I do think it'll be Brandon. But

678
00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:04,400
Speaker 1: Brandon Porter was in here, who does a lot of

679
00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:07,239
Speaker 1: our producing when we're on the road. He does he

680
00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:09,040
Speaker 1: cuts all of our highlights for all of our radio

681
00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:11,280
Speaker 1: that I can use for Texas replay during the season,

682
00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:15,879
Speaker 1: And he said, what about Blake Bortles? And I looked

683
00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:18,359
Speaker 1: at him and said, man, you're reading my mind. I

684
00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:21,520
Speaker 1: know people will say, wait, wait, Blake, wait what Look,

685
00:36:21,520 --> 00:36:24,239
Speaker 1: it's a backup position. If you got to go to

686
00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:32,160
Speaker 1: your backup in most cases, you're more than likely food bar. Now,

687
00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:36,440
Speaker 1: Philadelphia was a different situation, and that worked out for Philadelphia.

688
00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:39,240
Speaker 1: But you're in a world a hurt in most cases

689
00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:42,319
Speaker 1: if your backup has to come into the ball game.

690
00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:48,399
Speaker 1: That said, Blake Bortles in a backup situation, maybe there's

691
00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:52,719
Speaker 1: pressure off and he has not been released yet, but

692
00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:54,600
Speaker 1: I would imagine that's coming. They're not going to keep

693
00:36:54,640 --> 00:36:59,799
Speaker 1: that cap hit. I would I wouldn't. I wouldn't be

694
00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:04,279
Speaker 1: against that thought because you have to I know if

695
00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:05,960
Speaker 1: you once you heard the name of Blake Bortle as

696
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:10,880
Speaker 1: you probably vomited. But it's in a backup role, a

697
00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:14,840
Speaker 1: backup role. Could I do something with Blake Bortles in

698
00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:19,680
Speaker 1: a backup role? Yes, as a starter, I'm glad I

699
00:37:19,719 --> 00:37:24,120
Speaker 1: would lose my mind. But as a backup, maybe I

700
00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:27,640
Speaker 1: could do that. So Brandon Weed and Blake Bortles, now

701
00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:29,960
Speaker 1: those aren't the only two Ryan Tanney Hills out there,

702
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:33,600
Speaker 1: but apparently he's gonna go to New Orleans. It looks

703
00:37:33,600 --> 00:37:35,040
Speaker 1: like there might be a little bit of a swap

704
00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:39,520
Speaker 1: there with Teddy Bridgewater potentially going back home to Miami

705
00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:42,759
Speaker 1: for the Dolphins. I think that would be great and

706
00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:45,960
Speaker 1: Teddy works at new offense with Chad o'sheay and with

707
00:37:46,040 --> 00:37:48,080
Speaker 1: Brian Flores, a new head coach to the Miami Dolphins.

708
00:37:48,080 --> 00:37:52,160
Speaker 1: I think that would be unbelievable and I would love

709
00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:56,160
Speaker 1: that for Teddy. But he's also considering staying with the

710
00:37:56,200 --> 00:37:59,400
Speaker 1: New Orleans Saints, because yesterday he was staying with the Saints,

711
00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:01,240
Speaker 1: and then today he's now taking a visit to Miami.

712
00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:04,239
Speaker 1: Who knows. But then New Orleans apparently is looking at

713
00:38:04,280 --> 00:38:05,800
Speaker 1: Ryan Taniel to be the backup, so it might be

714
00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:07,400
Speaker 1: a little bit of a swap there. Tanny Hill to

715
00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:10,200
Speaker 1: New Orleans, Teddy goes to Miami. We'll see how that

716
00:38:10,239 --> 00:38:16,319
Speaker 1: plays out. But Blake portals Brandon weedon those are two guys. Look,

717
00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:19,680
Speaker 1: last year, Weeding took one snap because he had taken

718
00:38:19,760 --> 00:38:21,839
Speaker 1: Nikaus Deshaun had gone into the locker room early. But

719
00:38:22,200 --> 00:38:23,960
Speaker 1: those are those are the two guys that come to

720
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:25,400
Speaker 1: mind trying to think of There're any o the top

721
00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:27,440
Speaker 1: of my head that I can think of, but I

722
00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:29,719
Speaker 1: wouldn't I wouldn't be opposed to so looking at the

723
00:38:29,719 --> 00:38:31,960
Speaker 1: bortal situation. But I love I love Weed. I know

724
00:38:32,040 --> 00:38:33,560
Speaker 1: he can throw it, and we got to go to

725
00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:36,560
Speaker 1: a backup. We're gonna be food bar anyway, so away

726
00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:38,719
Speaker 1: you go. I gotta tweet from mister Jean. I think

727
00:38:38,719 --> 00:38:41,760
Speaker 1: it's a good one. He said, who's your absolute can't

728
00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:47,960
Speaker 1: miss regardless of position that you can also guarantee won't

729
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:50,120
Speaker 1: be a first round draft pick. All right, So if

730
00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:53,240
Speaker 1: I read that right, not gonna be a first rounder,

731
00:38:53,880 --> 00:38:58,120
Speaker 1: but I know he's a can't miss. Is that right? Greg?

732
00:38:58,160 --> 00:39:00,880
Speaker 1: Did I read that right? I hope I did. The

733
00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:04,160
Speaker 1: absolute slam dunk. Not gonna be the first See, that's

734
00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:06,279
Speaker 1: the thing, it's what you got. Outside of the first round,

735
00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:09,520
Speaker 1: all bets are off. The one guy that I think

736
00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:14,240
Speaker 1: is gonna end up crushing it is a keen butler

737
00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:16,719
Speaker 1: from out of Iowa State. I think you could take

738
00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:18,399
Speaker 1: either one of the Iowa State guys, and I think

739
00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:20,359
Speaker 1: either one of them are gonna be good. I think

740
00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:25,680
Speaker 1: David Montgomery, the running back Frywa State, is pocket dynamite. Now,

741
00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:28,399
Speaker 1: he doesn't have great long speed, it's like four six,

742
00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:32,399
Speaker 1: but who cares. That guy's making dudes miss inside. He's

743
00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:36,040
Speaker 1: running through defensive tackles. I mean, we know those defensive

744
00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:39,120
Speaker 1: tackles are pretty soft anyways, So he's running through those guys.

745
00:39:39,200 --> 00:39:42,560
Speaker 1: I'm trying to get trap Jay's attention. He didn't hear me.

746
00:39:42,640 --> 00:39:44,440
Speaker 1: He didn't hear me. But I think David I think

747
00:39:44,480 --> 00:39:46,600
Speaker 1: two guys from IWA State. I feel pretty good about

748
00:39:46,640 --> 00:39:49,239
Speaker 1: what those guys are gonna bring to the party. For sure.

749
00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:53,280
Speaker 1: I think Reisener, don't. Riiser is gonna be a pretty

750
00:39:53,320 --> 00:39:56,160
Speaker 1: sure thing. Now. I just don't know if it's gonna

751
00:39:56,160 --> 00:39:58,680
Speaker 1: be a guarter tackle, but I think Reisener is gonna

752
00:39:58,719 --> 00:40:02,040
Speaker 1: end up being a really good football player, whether it's

753
00:40:02,040 --> 00:40:05,440
Speaker 1: at guard, whether it's at center, or whether it's at tackle.

754
00:40:05,560 --> 00:40:08,200
Speaker 1: I think it's probably gonna be guard, but I wouldn't

755
00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:09,759
Speaker 1: be opposed to putting him at right tackle. He went

756
00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:12,319
Speaker 1: to get He went against Montest Sweat when they faced

757
00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:15,839
Speaker 1: Mississippi State about third or fourth week of the year,

758
00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:20,520
Speaker 1: and Reisener in Sweat Sweat six six two sixty two

759
00:40:20,560 --> 00:40:24,480
Speaker 1: runs four four. Reisener had a pretty solid ball game

760
00:40:24,520 --> 00:40:27,520
Speaker 1: against him. Sweat when he went to the other side,

761
00:40:27,520 --> 00:40:30,120
Speaker 1: that's when Sweat got some numbers. Charles A. Manner who

762
00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:33,560
Speaker 1: had a huge game against k State. He had two

763
00:40:33,600 --> 00:40:36,200
Speaker 1: sacks and three tackles for a loss. When he went

764
00:40:36,239 --> 00:40:39,759
Speaker 1: against Reisener, he got Zeros. Risen is a kind of

765
00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:42,600
Speaker 1: guy I would love to see with us. He'll be

766
00:40:42,640 --> 00:40:46,640
Speaker 1: great with the media, which everybody loves. But he loves football.

767
00:40:47,520 --> 00:40:51,319
Speaker 1: He is not a glory hound. He loves the game.

768
00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:53,879
Speaker 1: He studies it. He's a film rat. I mean, he's

769
00:40:53,880 --> 00:40:55,879
Speaker 1: just a kind of guy I think would be very

770
00:40:55,920 --> 00:40:57,839
Speaker 1: he would work very, very well. And I think he's

771
00:40:57,880 --> 00:41:00,960
Speaker 1: probably gonna fall since fought of the first round. I

772
00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:02,719
Speaker 1: think he's gonna go outside of the first round because

773
00:41:02,760 --> 00:41:05,839
Speaker 1: he's right on that borderline first round, second round. So

774
00:41:06,080 --> 00:41:08,120
Speaker 1: I think Riiser ends up being a guy from Kansas

775
00:41:08,120 --> 00:41:10,719
Speaker 1: State into your offensive linement slash tackle. You can play

776
00:41:10,760 --> 00:41:12,680
Speaker 1: him a lot of different places, but I think he's

777
00:41:12,719 --> 00:41:16,880
Speaker 1: probably as close to a slam dunk, not so much

778
00:41:16,920 --> 00:41:20,040
Speaker 1: for the athletic ability, but just everything else that you

779
00:41:20,040 --> 00:41:21,680
Speaker 1: need to be an NFL football player. He's gonna have

780
00:41:21,719 --> 00:41:24,480
Speaker 1: and he's gonna have it in spades. So teaching the

781
00:41:24,520 --> 00:41:27,200
Speaker 1: system hopefully ends up staying health and if he does that,

782
00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:30,400
Speaker 1: I think Riser's gonna end up being He's gonna end

783
00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:31,960
Speaker 1: up being that guy that you definitely want to have

784
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:33,680
Speaker 1: on your offensive line, and I would I would love

785
00:41:33,760 --> 00:41:37,520
Speaker 1: to see him. I'd love to see him here. And

786
00:41:37,600 --> 00:41:39,879
Speaker 1: I think the Texas are looking at everything. They looked

787
00:41:39,880 --> 00:41:42,760
Speaker 1: at Roger Staffold, so I think they're looking at everything.

788
00:41:42,760 --> 00:41:46,719
Speaker 1: They're they're taking everything under consideration, and I kind of

789
00:41:46,760 --> 00:41:49,240
Speaker 1: like that. I kind of like that. Here a couple others,

790
00:41:50,160 --> 00:41:52,799
Speaker 1: This from nil Nick just caltisid with the favorite running backs.

791
00:41:53,239 --> 00:41:56,080
Speaker 1: Let's see this from Jose He said, not terrible, but

792
00:41:56,160 --> 00:41:58,080
Speaker 1: no big moves, plenty of cap space. What are the

793
00:41:58,080 --> 00:42:00,920
Speaker 1: Texans waiting for? Tell me they have a blockbuster trade

794
00:42:00,960 --> 00:42:05,880
Speaker 1: in the works. Here's the thing, and I said this before,

795
00:42:06,160 --> 00:42:09,399
Speaker 1: we know the two biggest spots of tackling corner. If

796
00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:13,200
Speaker 1: you're gonna make a blockbuster trade in some sense or

797
00:42:13,400 --> 00:42:15,600
Speaker 1: not a trade, you're gonna sign somebody. Who are you

798
00:42:15,640 --> 00:42:19,280
Speaker 1: gonna sign? Tackle one off the board. I mean, Wade's

799
00:42:19,280 --> 00:42:20,759
Speaker 1: gonna be in here a little bit and way talking

800
00:42:20,760 --> 00:42:25,399
Speaker 1: about Trent Browning after that though, I'd take weight back.

801
00:42:26,160 --> 00:42:28,320
Speaker 1: Let's put Wade back in there, put him at tackle,

802
00:42:28,440 --> 00:42:31,640
Speaker 1: because it just wasn't there. It wasn't anybody else there. Now,

803
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:36,200
Speaker 1: talk about making a trade, a blockbuster trade. Now, now

804
00:42:36,239 --> 00:42:39,000
Speaker 1: you're talking, here's where you've got a target the right

805
00:42:39,040 --> 00:42:41,319
Speaker 1: guy at the right time. The vikings I mentioned earlier

806
00:42:41,320 --> 00:42:43,880
Speaker 1: about Trey Waynees. I've also heard that Xavier Rhodes at

807
00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:47,200
Speaker 1: corner could be on the market. Z fs. You guys

808
00:42:47,440 --> 00:42:50,239
Speaker 1: could be on the market. I would do that. I

809
00:42:50,239 --> 00:42:53,400
Speaker 1: don't know about Trey Wayne's, but Xavier Rhodes bring it

810
00:42:53,480 --> 00:42:58,280
Speaker 1: all day every day. I gotta give up my first, Okay,

811
00:42:58,320 --> 00:43:00,279
Speaker 1: I do it. I do it. If I got me

812
00:43:00,360 --> 00:43:02,320
Speaker 1: Xavier Rhodes, I had to give up my first to

813
00:43:02,360 --> 00:43:05,080
Speaker 1: do it. I wouldn't love it, but I got two seconds.

814
00:43:05,200 --> 00:43:06,879
Speaker 1: Maybe I packaged those and move up if I want

815
00:43:06,920 --> 00:43:10,520
Speaker 1: to do that, But that I would do, I would listen.

816
00:43:10,600 --> 00:43:13,200
Speaker 1: I would listen, or I would make the call on

817
00:43:13,280 --> 00:43:17,359
Speaker 1: Xavier Rhodes, Patrick Peterson. I would definitely think about that.

818
00:43:17,760 --> 00:43:20,759
Speaker 1: Now Pat's getting up there in years, but those are

819
00:43:20,800 --> 00:43:22,560
Speaker 1: two guys that I would I would think about making

820
00:43:22,560 --> 00:43:24,600
Speaker 1: a deal for it, no matter whether those teams want

821
00:43:24,640 --> 00:43:26,520
Speaker 1: to do it. I haven't heard anything about Pat moving

822
00:43:26,600 --> 00:43:29,400
Speaker 1: not anymore. But I have heard that the Vikings have

823
00:43:29,560 --> 00:43:32,359
Speaker 1: potentially shopped or are going to shop Xavier Rhodes, So

824
00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:35,600
Speaker 1: that definitely is something to consider. All right, coming up,

825
00:43:36,200 --> 00:43:39,360
Speaker 1: You've got Wade Smith and trap Jay, Jevis Johnson with

826
00:43:39,400 --> 00:43:41,680
Speaker 1: two buddies here and Jeremy Brandon's gonna be in here

827
00:43:41,880 --> 00:43:45,000
Speaker 1: from seven until nine. Jeremy is that right? Seven until nine?

828
00:43:45,080 --> 00:43:47,160
Speaker 1: Next couple of hours, so they'll talk a little bit

829
00:43:47,160 --> 00:43:50,359
Speaker 1: more about this. Maybe there's a signing tonight, maybe there's

830
00:43:50,360 --> 00:43:53,560
Speaker 1: another Odell Beckham trade like last night which made things

831
00:43:53,600 --> 00:43:55,920
Speaker 1: pretty exciting. So I'm curious to hear what they have

832
00:43:55,960 --> 00:43:57,920
Speaker 1: to say about the Browns, what they have to say

833
00:43:57,960 --> 00:44:00,520
Speaker 1: about the Texans. So keep it right here on Sports
