Want to run by Piers. 5 00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:13,680 Speaker 1: The type of players that we're looking for is players 6 00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:16,320 Speaker 1: who are looking the swarms.

It's been 23 00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:12,800 Speaker 1: a while. Well, what do we do on Thursdays? Johnny? 24 00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:16,360 Speaker 1: What do we do on Thursdays? The General John McClain 25 00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:21,400 Speaker 1: on with us. We do and he's from spring training. He's, oh, yeah, 26 00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:24,119 Speaker 1: he's on his trip to Fort Saint Lucy. If I'm 27 00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:27,840 Speaker 1: not mistaken, General, Good evening. How's it going. I'm actually 28 00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:32,320 Speaker 1: in West Palm Beach, but who's counting. It's still Southern Florida. Today. 29 00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:35,360 Speaker 1: It was the first day of Astro's spring training. It's 30 00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:39,800 Speaker 1: amazing how many people I talked to about the Texans 31 00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:43,240 Speaker 1: because people, as you guys know, are so pumped about 32 00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:46,560 Speaker 1: Damiko Rives and some of the moves he's making with 33 00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:49,440 Speaker 1: his coaches, and people are fired up about the draft 34 00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:52,440 Speaker 1: and the second and the twelve Pigs and Nickols, Sarrio, 35 00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:57,360 Speaker 1: Evan Money. We were talking about when was the last 36 00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 1: time people were just fired up about the Astros. Somebody 37 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:03,640 Speaker 1: I said after the two thousand nineteen season when they 38 00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:08,120 Speaker 1: beat Buffalo and lost in Kansas City. I said, no, 39 00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:12,960 Speaker 1: because they led. They traded DeAndre Hopkins, there was a 40 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:16,760 Speaker 1: lot of negativity in that as the next season approach. 41 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:20,280 Speaker 1: So I said, after the two eighteen season, when they 42 00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:23,239 Speaker 1: were eleven and five blew that wild card game to 43 00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:29,359 Speaker 1: Andrew Luck and the Colts, people were still pump because 44 00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:33,280 Speaker 1: it was Watson going into a second season and team 45 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:35,560 Speaker 1: was great and had a lot of star players. So 46 00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:39,880 Speaker 1: even though I'm in West Palm Beach, people are talking 47 00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:43,720 Speaker 1: about the Texas and the end the Astros, and I 48 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:46,679 Speaker 1: think that's great. General, I've heard you on Sports Trade 49 00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:49,600 Speaker 1: six ten. But because well I Mark and I am 50 00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:51,640 Speaker 1: not a chance to talk to you, let's just start 51 00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:55,359 Speaker 1: the top. Damiko Ryan's name, the head coach. As you've 52 00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:59,680 Speaker 1: had time to digest this all since was it late 53 00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:02,560 Speaker 1: j late January, early February, a couple of weeks in 54 00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:07,160 Speaker 1: your thoughts about what Demiko is, what he means to 55 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:09,520 Speaker 1: the organization, What he means is that if Houston, what 56 00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:13,320 Speaker 1: the coaching staff appears to be, and what that's rounding into, 57 00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:16,600 Speaker 1: and your thoughts about that as well, well, maybe one 58 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:18,880 Speaker 1: of these days we'll find out who the coaches are. 59 00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:22,160 Speaker 1: You know, their philosophy is wait and announce them all 60 00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:27,120 Speaker 1: at the same time. But they leak out and Sports 61 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:31,400 Speaker 1: Radio six ten dot COM's website about what the offense 62 00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:35,320 Speaker 1: could look like under Bobby Sloe, considering his history with 63 00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:38,800 Speaker 1: Mike and Kyle Shannon, and it's going to look a 64 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:43,440 Speaker 1: loud like Gary Kulbiak's offense. And as I wrote, now 65 00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:47,480 Speaker 1: they only need to find a Andre Johnson and Arian 66 00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:53,120 Speaker 1: Foster and Owen Daniels and even a Matt shop and 67 00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 1: and to make this offense work the way the under Gary, 68 00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:02,840 Speaker 1: and I think it's exciting. I think Demiko he hadn't said, 69 00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:05,720 Speaker 1: but I'm pretty sure that he's going to call the defense. 70 00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:08,200 Speaker 1: And based on what we saw from him, it is 71 00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:11,839 Speaker 1: only two seasons of calling defenses with the forty nine ers, 72 00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:15,280 Speaker 1: you know that's going to be outstanding. I still think 73 00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:18,360 Speaker 1: that he needs help on game days. You see a 74 00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:22,760 Speaker 1: lot of coaches first time hiring former head coaches who've 75 00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:28,040 Speaker 1: been through the ringer guys like when he was on 76 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:33,720 Speaker 1: the staff as a consultant for David Cully, and I 77 00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:37,440 Speaker 1: think experience is important. Maybe not as important as Frank Wright, 78 00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,000 Speaker 1: who may be putting together one of the two or 79 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:43,480 Speaker 1: three oldest staffs that I've seen, but I think it's 80 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:46,520 Speaker 1: important and I think this offense, you know they've got 81 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,919 Speaker 1: one running back, They're gonna have to have more. Kyle Shanahan, 82 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:54,000 Speaker 1: Bobby Slowick and I have a column. I wrote a 83 00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:57,040 Speaker 1: column on the Gallery sports dot Com with Kyle Shanny 84 00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:01,400 Speaker 1: and talking about Slowick. I interviewed Kyle right after Demiko 85 00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:05,599 Speaker 1: was hired about Demiko, and I said, I think they're 86 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:09,000 Speaker 1: gonna hire your passing game coordinator Bobby Slowick. Can I 87 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,359 Speaker 1: get some quotes on him if they do? And he 88 00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:16,120 Speaker 1: said sure, So he is very very high slow It 89 00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:19,479 Speaker 1: could because you know, he started off on defense like 90 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:23,200 Speaker 1: his dad. He was coordinated for four teams and that 91 00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:27,640 Speaker 1: was under Mike Shanahan with Kyle, and then when they 92 00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:31,280 Speaker 1: all got fired, he went to Pro Football Focus where 93 00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:34,800 Speaker 1: he watched tape all day every day for two years 94 00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,800 Speaker 1: or and then when Kyle got the head coaching job 95 00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:41,919 Speaker 1: with the forty nine ers and seventeen, Slowik went and 96 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:48,159 Speaker 1: Demiko went, and dry Johnson went on the Bill Wall's 97 00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:53,720 Speaker 1: Minority scholarship. And so you had all those guys. Now 98 00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:56,760 Speaker 1: three of them are being reunited with the Texans. And 99 00:05:56,920 --> 00:06:00,760 Speaker 1: I don't think anything bad comes from people from an 100 00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:05,800 Speaker 1: organization that is successful especially Kyle Shannonners was a great 101 00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:09,520 Speaker 1: coordinator with the Falcons, and then it's been a great 102 00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:12,920 Speaker 1: play caller with the forty nine ers. And i'd heard 103 00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:15,640 Speaker 1: the last couple of years about Dry Johnson being an 104 00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:19,440 Speaker 1: up and comer. First time I heard that George Whitfield, 105 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:25,159 Speaker 1: the quarterback guru who is based in San Diego, and 106 00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 1: I went out there and spent two days in a 107 00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:30,120 Speaker 1: night with him. When Johnny Manziel was trading for the 108 00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:32,680 Speaker 1: draft and he came to Houston to do a camp. 109 00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:36,000 Speaker 1: I guess it is about three years ago, and he 110 00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,280 Speaker 1: had drive there and I said, what do you got 111 00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:41,760 Speaker 1: Dry Johnson? Is he a pupil? He said, nope, this 112 00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:43,400 Speaker 1: guy is going to be a hell of a coach. 113 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:47,119 Speaker 1: You watch And I started kind of keeping an ear open, 114 00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,039 Speaker 1: and that's what people said. Now he's coming back home 115 00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:53,120 Speaker 1: to Houston and he's got to be fired up. Of course, 116 00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:58,520 Speaker 1: his biggest fan is a guy that's kind of like 117 00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:05,640 Speaker 1: his father because his father died. That'd be John Lopez. Yeah, 118 00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:08,480 Speaker 1: Lopez coached him in AU basketball. How about this, I'll 119 00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:10,880 Speaker 1: tell him my quick Drowge Johnson story. Can I tell this? Yeah? 120 00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:14,440 Speaker 1: So in seventeen I think it was seventeen or eighteen. 121 00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:18,280 Speaker 1: I was calling a Sam Houston game and um, we're 122 00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:21,360 Speaker 1: talking with the producer and all right, and said, you know, John, 123 00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:23,360 Speaker 1: I think I was with Tom. Tom Frankler usually do 124 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:24,760 Speaker 1: the games with him. And they're like, all right, Drawd's 125 00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:28,160 Speaker 1: on the sideline like Rod Rod who drag Johnson like 126 00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:32,080 Speaker 1: like beat grog Johnson Like he's he doing down the sideline? 127 00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:34,040 Speaker 1: So drowd. After the game we had about a good 128 00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:36,640 Speaker 1: ten fifty minute talk about what are you gonna do? 129 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:38,600 Speaker 1: He was trying to side like what he wanted to 130 00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:40,920 Speaker 1: do at that point, what it was gonna be. The 131 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,520 Speaker 1: next year I see him, he's with the Indianapolis Colts. 132 00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:45,560 Speaker 1: He got he got a fellowship one of the bill 133 00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:47,560 Speaker 1: I think it's a Bill wash fellow shop. To be 134 00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:50,480 Speaker 1: with the Colts. Turn into quality control job, stay there 135 00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:52,640 Speaker 1: for a couple of years, move the Vikings. Now he's 136 00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:55,320 Speaker 1: coming back home as quarterbacks coach. Is a just tremendous story. 137 00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:57,160 Speaker 1: I'm so glad he's here. He's been on this and 138 00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:00,720 Speaker 1: John Lopez are so tight. Johnny Upty manner few agents 139 00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:03,760 Speaker 1: when he came out at a and m oh, that's 140 00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:06,520 Speaker 1: very cool. That's very cool. Yeah, he was at John's 141 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:08,600 Speaker 1: daughter's wedding. I caught up with him there. He was 142 00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:11,520 Speaker 1: with the Colts at the time, And obviously this is 143 00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:16,440 Speaker 1: good news. Now Matt Burke reportedly defensive coordinator general. You 144 00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:19,720 Speaker 1: tell me what you're thinking. Here is how this is 145 00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:23,000 Speaker 1: going to play out system wise, what he brings to 146 00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:27,480 Speaker 1: the table places he's been combined with the Damiko Ryan's effect. 147 00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:30,840 Speaker 1: A friend of mine who covers the Patriots texted me 148 00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:34,320 Speaker 1: right before the season ended and he said, one of 149 00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:37,679 Speaker 1: my closest friends is the defensive line coach of the Cardinals, 150 00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:41,840 Speaker 1: and he's putting together a surprise video for why And 151 00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:45,360 Speaker 1: he asked me for some people to do videos and 152 00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:48,440 Speaker 1: someone who knew people who could do videos, and I 153 00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:52,480 Speaker 1: gave him your name. So here's his number. So I 154 00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:55,760 Speaker 1: have not met Matt Burke, but I've texted with him 155 00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:58,440 Speaker 1: and it was an honor to be included in his videos. 156 00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:02,719 Speaker 1: And those videos were shown on the last episode of 157 00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:07,960 Speaker 1: the nd season, Hard Knocks in the Defensive and Wide 158 00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:11,040 Speaker 1: was crying like a baby, not because of mine, of 159 00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:15,160 Speaker 1: course they didn't even make that that list, but he 160 00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:19,520 Speaker 1: was just bawling. And Burke thought that much of him 161 00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:21,920 Speaker 1: after he had him there and saw I guarantee you 162 00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:25,920 Speaker 1: Burke got a big endorsement from JJ and the fact 163 00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:28,720 Speaker 1: that he wasn't a coordinator this year. He's been a coordinator. 164 00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:31,480 Speaker 1: You know, his buddies with Robert Slow. That's what makes 165 00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:34,760 Speaker 1: me think Damiko is going to call the defense. And 166 00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:37,720 Speaker 1: now they just got to get some players to go 167 00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:40,520 Speaker 1: with them, and that's where free agency and the draft 168 00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:43,640 Speaker 1: come about. I'll be at the combine with you guys 169 00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:48,080 Speaker 1: and at the league meetings with There's a lot of 170 00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:51,280 Speaker 1: things I'm covering for Gallery Sports. Did not go to the 171 00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:53,600 Speaker 1: the super Bowl because I didn't want to cover the 172 00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:58,640 Speaker 1: Super Bowl. And you know, this is the most interesting 173 00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:02,520 Speaker 1: time of the year because the Texans are in position 174 00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:07,960 Speaker 1: to secure their franchise quarterback. And I thought he was interesting. 175 00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:12,160 Speaker 1: Everybody said when the calls and ounced Shane Steiking that 176 00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:16,119 Speaker 1: Jim Rsey slipped when he talked about the little quarterback 177 00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:19,880 Speaker 1: from Alabama. And I'm thinking, Okay, was he slick enough 178 00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:24,360 Speaker 1: to do that to throw the Texans off or did 179 00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:27,760 Speaker 1: it just kind of come at it. Most people say 180 00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:31,480 Speaker 1: he's not slick enough. It just came out accidentally, And 181 00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:34,000 Speaker 1: I don't know what do you guys think about that. 182 00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:37,640 Speaker 1: I just think he's being honest. He just he put 183 00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:39,679 Speaker 1: you put a microphone in front of r Say's face. 184 00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:45,840 Speaker 1: I think you honestly, that's the one guy he knew about. 185 00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:48,319 Speaker 1: And he's like, yeah, quarterback, Yeah, yeah, yeah, the guy 186 00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:50,440 Speaker 1: from Alabama. I mean, I think that's what it is. 187 00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,400 Speaker 1: I think you're right. Yeah, I don't know if he's 188 00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:57,360 Speaker 1: being crafty. I think that's overthinking it. Yeah he said 189 00:10:57,400 --> 00:11:01,240 Speaker 1: what he said. But who ESPN analysts to be his 190 00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:03,640 Speaker 1: head coach general. Since we're on the subject, let's just 191 00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:05,880 Speaker 1: go there with the draft and the Colts picking fourth, 192 00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:07,480 Speaker 1: and we all know the Bears have the number one 193 00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:11,400 Speaker 1: pick and they're very unlikely to pick a quarterback. Likelihood 194 00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:13,160 Speaker 1: and Johnny and I are going to play more likely 195 00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:16,080 Speaker 1: to happen in the next segment, but likelihood of the 196 00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:18,719 Speaker 1: Colts actually being able to move up, you know, if 197 00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:21,600 Speaker 1: they want to, and if they actually can, should they 198 00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:26,680 Speaker 1: want to? Okay, the Bears are desperate for help. The 199 00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:29,240 Speaker 1: desperate for help the pass rush. So they have a 200 00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:32,839 Speaker 1: choice of Jalen Carter and Will Anderson Junior, whether you 201 00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:36,160 Speaker 1: want to tackle or an edge rusher. Okay, they're thinking, 202 00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:39,400 Speaker 1: all right, we could trade down to four and get 203 00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:42,240 Speaker 1: one of them. Because the Colts come out and take 204 00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:47,520 Speaker 1: a quarterback either Bryce Jung or c Jason second one, 205 00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:52,720 Speaker 1: Arizona is going to take Carter or Johnson Anderson, and 206 00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:56,040 Speaker 1: we'll take the one that's left. And I'm thinking, okay, 207 00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:59,800 Speaker 1: what if Nick Casario traded down a little bit and 208 00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:04,679 Speaker 1: the team traded up to get Carter Anderson and then 209 00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:10,000 Speaker 1: the Cardinals too. Bears, and the two best defensive players, 210 00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:13,439 Speaker 1: maybe the two best players overall are both gone. So 211 00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:15,680 Speaker 1: the Bears stuck it to the Texans, and the Texans 212 00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:18,160 Speaker 1: stuck it to the Bears. So the Bears might be 213 00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:21,080 Speaker 1: better off to staying right where they are and don't 214 00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:24,600 Speaker 1: try to get too slick because we don't know which 215 00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:31,000 Speaker 1: quarterback takes. Sario and Tamiko Ryan's and Bobby Slowick and 216 00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:34,400 Speaker 1: John Johnson are gonna like the best. You know, they 217 00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:37,640 Speaker 1: could like Will Levis. They could trade down because they 218 00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:40,240 Speaker 1: think they could get Levis. They could say, well, you 219 00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:42,040 Speaker 1: know what, we're gonna trade down a couple of times, 220 00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:48,120 Speaker 1: and we're gonna take Anthony Richards Richardson and taught while 221 00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:51,959 Speaker 1: Richardson develops now fans would go crazy, of course, but 222 00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:54,800 Speaker 1: you know, they're trying to win the best the best 223 00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:57,240 Speaker 1: way they know how, and I don't think we're gonna 224 00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:00,800 Speaker 1: know until the draft, and it's gonna be oh good 225 00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:05,280 Speaker 1: for Texans Radio and Sports Radio six ten and Gallery Sport, 226 00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:10,000 Speaker 1: where it's everybody that covers the Texans. There's going to 227 00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:13,760 Speaker 1: be so much intrigue, and you hope this is the 228 00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:16,440 Speaker 1: last time they're going to be picking this high to 229 00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:19,280 Speaker 1: have all this intrigue. And the other thing, I think 230 00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:23,400 Speaker 1: everybody has them taking a receiver with the twelfth pick. 231 00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:28,559 Speaker 1: I'm betting that if they take a quarterback first, Miko 232 00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:31,520 Speaker 1: is going to want a defensive player second, because he 233 00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:35,680 Speaker 1: is a defensive head coach and at San Francisco they 234 00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:38,680 Speaker 1: had three number one picks in their defensive line and 235 00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:42,720 Speaker 1: none at linebacker and then the secondary, and so they 236 00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:45,280 Speaker 1: need a lot of course on this team, but they 237 00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:49,120 Speaker 1: need another Russia and they need another interior guy. So 238 00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:53,679 Speaker 1: I kind of think that the best defensive player available 239 00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:57,040 Speaker 1: at twelve is coming to the Texas. And Johnny says, 240 00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:59,600 Speaker 1: Tyree Wilson from Texas Tech is gone by then, so 241 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,840 Speaker 1: he's gone. There's no way he's there. Twelve. All right, 242 00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:04,560 Speaker 1: so let me ask twelve. I'll ask both of you 243 00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:08,040 Speaker 1: guys this because I love bringing up how we regard 244 00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:10,920 Speaker 1: the draft right now and then what it turns out 245 00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:14,439 Speaker 1: to be. For instance, going into the offseason in twenty fourteen, 246 00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:16,480 Speaker 1: a lot of people thought Teddy Bridgewaters the number one 247 00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:18,000 Speaker 1: pick in the draft, and it turned out to be 248 00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:20,480 Speaker 1: not the case, went last pick in the first round 249 00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:26,760 Speaker 1: twenty seventeen. What were we thinking, collectively, media nation thinking 250 00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:29,760 Speaker 1: at this time of year? Or are they thinking that 251 00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:33,040 Speaker 1: Trubisky was first among the quarterbacks? Then it was Mahomes 252 00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:39,560 Speaker 1: and Watson was a second round pick. The projections for 253 00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:42,960 Speaker 1: him was a second round before he started working out 254 00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:47,720 Speaker 1: for everybody. Then when he started working now thin, but 255 00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:50,080 Speaker 1: they didn't like him as much as Andy Reid, who 256 00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:53,480 Speaker 1: traded three picks to come up in getting I love 257 00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:57,600 Speaker 1: this discussion because I did a mock draft for the 258 00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:02,640 Speaker 1: Washington Post in feb You weary in February, But the 259 00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:06,360 Speaker 1: top three picks were first, Miles Garrett to Cleveland Browns. 260 00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:08,840 Speaker 1: Number two, the San Francisco forty nine ers take the 261 00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:12,760 Speaker 1: Shawn Watson, and number three the Chicago Bears take Patrick Mahomes. 262 00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:17,960 Speaker 1: That's you, and that he's like, are you sure? I 263 00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:20,640 Speaker 1: was like, absolutely, go with it, But that's you, Johnny. 264 00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:24,840 Speaker 1: I'm talking about collectively. I used that word collectively. Ok, yeah, collectively. 265 00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:27,120 Speaker 1: People thought Mahomes was a wild card. But as they 266 00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:29,960 Speaker 1: got closer, people are like, hmm, wait a second, well 267 00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:35,480 Speaker 1: what but Trubisky went well before both those. Here's the thing, 268 00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:38,800 Speaker 1: and John John can speak to this too, because John 269 00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:41,960 Speaker 1: spoken with you know, GM's and coaches over the years. 270 00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:45,720 Speaker 1: You have to avoid doing this. But the Bears fell 271 00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:49,120 Speaker 1: in love. They fell in love, and the GM at 272 00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:53,240 Speaker 1: the time, Ryan Pace, fell in love with Mitch Trubisky. 273 00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:55,840 Speaker 1: He loved the story about his ninety two dotson or 274 00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:58,840 Speaker 1: whatever he had, and he just loved him and they 275 00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:01,040 Speaker 1: did whatever to go get him. So I applaud the Bears. 276 00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:03,120 Speaker 1: They knew the guy they wanted, and they went and 277 00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:05,160 Speaker 1: they got him and made sure that they got him. Great, 278 00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:08,120 Speaker 1: it hasn't turned out. It didn't turn out because they 279 00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:10,200 Speaker 1: fell in love with that particular guy. And that's why 280 00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:12,880 Speaker 1: to me, sitting at number two, Nick Cassario on the staff, 281 00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:17,120 Speaker 1: will not fall in love with one guy. Ainy Reid 282 00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:20,720 Speaker 1: fell in love and so did Nick Star did Rick Smith. 283 00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:23,480 Speaker 1: They both fell in love. I remember, because if you're 284 00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:25,920 Speaker 1: trading to move up, you're in love. And I think, 285 00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:29,840 Speaker 1: and I have no idea how Cassario scouts have no clue, 286 00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:32,600 Speaker 1: but I'll say this. I remember one thing Rick said, 287 00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:35,920 Speaker 1: and I'm guessing Cassario does this too. When he scouted 288 00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:39,200 Speaker 1: the National Championship game, he went way down by the 289 00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:41,720 Speaker 1: field because he wanted to watch Watson in the pregame 290 00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:44,320 Speaker 1: warm ups, not to watch his throws. He could see 291 00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:49,720 Speaker 1: his throws, but his teammates, and he said everybody gravitated 292 00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:52,800 Speaker 1: to him and the way he treated them. He loved it. 293 00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:56,040 Speaker 1: Then when he came to Houston as one of the thirty, 294 00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:59,080 Speaker 1: one of the things that impressed him the most was 295 00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:01,640 Speaker 1: when he was going through the line to get some 296 00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:04,800 Speaker 1: food in the cafeteria. There was some veterans who were 297 00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:07,679 Speaker 1: there working out, and when he was in the line, 298 00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:10,840 Speaker 1: they all got up and went to him because, as 299 00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:14,359 Speaker 1: Rick said, he had street cred because they'd seen him 300 00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:18,280 Speaker 1: lose the championship game to Alabama, come back beat Alabama 301 00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:20,959 Speaker 1: and do it with that late touchdown past Hunter renfro 302 00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:27,760 Speaker 1: and and that was something. Then you're going to trade 303 00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:30,760 Speaker 1: up you got to know so much more about a 304 00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:33,439 Speaker 1: player than how he throws. You know, one of the 305 00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:37,280 Speaker 1: problems with Trubisky's he started only sixteen games, and that's 306 00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:40,359 Speaker 1: why people are so impatient with Davis Mills. He only 307 00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:44,520 Speaker 1: started eleven games in college and then he was thrown 308 00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:48,600 Speaker 1: to the Wolves, and then last year was total waste 309 00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:52,520 Speaker 1: because the worst offense I've seen this franchise have. And 310 00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:55,760 Speaker 1: so now they're going to be coaching him a lot better, 311 00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:58,840 Speaker 1: and so you don't know, maybe in his third year 312 00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:01,119 Speaker 1: he's going to be better. Know this, they're going to 313 00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:04,119 Speaker 1: keep him on the team because they like everything about him. 314 00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:06,800 Speaker 1: And he'll work with a new guy as much as 315 00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:09,200 Speaker 1: you can to help him even though he's taking his job, 316 00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:13,919 Speaker 1: and they'll they'll know just about everything you can. But 317 00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:17,679 Speaker 1: you know, you know you're right, John. They can't fall 318 00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:22,760 Speaker 1: in love to a point where they overlook false. You know, 319 00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:24,720 Speaker 1: if you guys, if you fall in love with a 320 00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:26,680 Speaker 1: woman or a woman falls in love with a guy 321 00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:29,560 Speaker 1: and other people say, well, you know this, this, this, 322 00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:33,280 Speaker 1: then he or she just ignores it because your heart's 323 00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:36,760 Speaker 1: in another place and you can't let that be that way. 324 00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:40,360 Speaker 1: As a as a scout who is a general manager 325 00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:43,600 Speaker 1: that leads me to my phenomenon known as the hot 326 00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:50,000 Speaker 1: romance pick. Okay, oh so hot, I'll overlook this and this, Yeah, 327 00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:52,080 Speaker 1: and I think it happens all the time in this league. 328 00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:54,639 Speaker 1: It looks so good on paper. Look, you mentioned falling 329 00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:59,240 Speaker 1: in love, love love as many facets and twists and turns, 330 00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:02,760 Speaker 1: and we've seen it in the football sense personally. So 331 00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:07,000 Speaker 1: there's that general Derek Carr. Where's he going? Tell me 332 00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:10,400 Speaker 1: he's gonna have all kinds of options. It was so 333 00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:13,520 Speaker 1: smart of him not to be traded, because he's gonna 334 00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:15,679 Speaker 1: make a whole lot more money than that forty million 335 00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:20,199 Speaker 1: he was due. If i'm there's every team in the 336 00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:23,600 Speaker 1: NFC South could use him, and anybody that gets him 337 00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:28,480 Speaker 1: it couldn't be the Saints be favored to win that division, 338 00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:32,800 Speaker 1: which is just awful. And every team there needs a quarterback. 339 00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:36,760 Speaker 1: Could be Washington. Washington has a great defense, a really 340 00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:39,920 Speaker 1: good running game. They're just lacking a quarterback, and those 341 00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:43,320 Speaker 1: teams are not positioned to draft one of those top guys. 342 00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:46,080 Speaker 1: So I think it's going to be Washington. The Jets 343 00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:49,359 Speaker 1: seemed to be in love with Aaron Rodgers. You know, 344 00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:52,320 Speaker 1: Rogers when he comes out of his deep sleep, is 345 00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:54,800 Speaker 1: supposed to decide if he wants to if he's gonna retire, 346 00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:57,720 Speaker 1: he's gonna make fifty eight point three million. No way 347 00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:00,240 Speaker 1: he's going to retire. Is he going to ask for 348 00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:02,560 Speaker 1: a trade? Who's going to give two number one? He's 349 00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:06,480 Speaker 1: thirty nine, He's got that monster contract. But the fans 350 00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:10,040 Speaker 1: and the media are trying to force the Jets to 351 00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:13,399 Speaker 1: trade for him, so less pencil him there. So if 352 00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:15,400 Speaker 1: I'm Derek Carr, you know I don't want to work 353 00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:19,320 Speaker 1: for Daniel Snyder. But it looks like the Commanders are 354 00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:22,280 Speaker 1: about to be sold. They gave Josh Harris, one of 355 00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:25,840 Speaker 1: the owners who was interested in the Broncos, let him 356 00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:29,399 Speaker 1: come through the facility and everything. And so that would 357 00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:32,040 Speaker 1: be boy, if you were if you were playing, if 358 00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:36,240 Speaker 1: you were the new quarterback for the Commanders, and Snyder 359 00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:40,080 Speaker 1: sells that team, they're gonna be dancing in the streets 360 00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:42,600 Speaker 1: and people are going to be so happy, and that 361 00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:46,439 Speaker 1: might be a really good place to go. General just 362 00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:48,440 Speaker 1: saw this tweet. Actually it was an hour ago. Matt 363 00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:53,479 Speaker 1: Mayoko covers the forty nine Ers for NBC Sports, tweeted 364 00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:56,359 Speaker 1: the forty nine Ers are hiring Click Kubiak might have. 365 00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:58,800 Speaker 1: It's such a hard time with that name. Click Kubiak 366 00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:02,880 Speaker 1: to replace offensive passing game coordinator Bobby Slowick as Tom 367 00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:07,320 Speaker 1: Pellasera reported his brother Clay as San Francisco's assistant quarterbacks coach. 368 00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:12,040 Speaker 1: So keeping it on the coaches, we had five teams 369 00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:16,080 Speaker 1: that replaced coaches. Take Demiko, Ryans and Texans out the 370 00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:19,560 Speaker 1: other four. What was the best hire and what was 371 00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:22,320 Speaker 1: the most kind of head shaking? Boy, I didn't see 372 00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:25,160 Speaker 1: that coming higher. Well, first of all, the Texans wanted 373 00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:29,040 Speaker 1: Clint could back, and I reported jumped the gun last week, 374 00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:31,720 Speaker 1: but they were in the process of hiring him, and 375 00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:34,359 Speaker 1: so then I found out they were not, So I 376 00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:39,000 Speaker 1: tweeted I'm an idiot and apologized, and because he had 377 00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:42,360 Speaker 1: other options, Kyle Shannon and stuck it to the Texans 378 00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:46,560 Speaker 1: because they're stealing all his people and although he knew 379 00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:48,359 Speaker 1: he was gonna lose him. The Texans would love to 380 00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:51,879 Speaker 1: be in that situation where people wanted their coaches every 381 00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:55,120 Speaker 1: year because that means they would be winning. And I 382 00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:58,879 Speaker 1: was asked by Sean Bindergast on our in Utopia podcast 383 00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:02,920 Speaker 1: if I thought Demiko was the best hire. No, Sean 384 00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:07,080 Speaker 1: Payton's the best hire. Sean Payton's wonted super the best 385 00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:11,800 Speaker 1: hire of all the others. And you know, the Texans 386 00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:16,919 Speaker 1: interviewed some big time prospects. Jonathan Gannon goes to Arizona, 387 00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:23,000 Speaker 1: Shane Steiken goes to the Colts. Now Carolina hired Frank Wich. 388 00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:26,520 Speaker 1: There's no buzz about Frank Reich because he was fired, 389 00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:30,200 Speaker 1: but people forget. You know, if Frank, if Andrew Luck 390 00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:33,520 Speaker 1: hadn't retired, I'm guessing Frank Reich would be working on 391 00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:36,800 Speaker 1: it big extension that he signed a couple of years ago. 392 00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:40,359 Speaker 1: And so I don't see any of these hires is 393 00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:43,600 Speaker 1: being bad or even questionable. But anytime you are a 394 00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:46,879 Speaker 1: guy who's never been a head coach, you never know 395 00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:50,320 Speaker 1: for sure until you see him. But every coach has 396 00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:54,040 Speaker 1: been in this situation, the same as Demiko. Ryan's a 397 00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:58,119 Speaker 1: first timer. General. Who's your favorite quarterback of the draft. 398 00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:02,160 Speaker 1: I'm allowing you to pick for ex franchise. We won't 399 00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:05,720 Speaker 1: even name the franchise. One of these quarterbacks, who do 400 00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:09,600 Speaker 1: you like? Well? I like Bryce Young. I watched as 401 00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:13,080 Speaker 1: many games from Bryces Young and CJ. Stroud as I 402 00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:18,399 Speaker 1: could c J. Strout had great receivers both years. Bryce 403 00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:21,720 Speaker 1: Young did not have great receivers this year, and so 404 00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:25,280 Speaker 1: he still was tremendous. They only questioned about him. Is 405 00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:28,920 Speaker 1: just not about throwing the ball, and it's not about 406 00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:34,160 Speaker 1: taking a big in. It's about withstanding an eighteen games season, 407 00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:37,960 Speaker 1: an eighteen week season, seventeen games and at some point 408 00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:42,960 Speaker 1: two three, four more games and Kenny withstanding. Now I 409 00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:46,200 Speaker 1: read somewhere he's working with a nutritionists, try to get 410 00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:49,680 Speaker 1: up to ten by the combine. If he's a legitimate 411 00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:52,840 Speaker 1: five eleven and two ten, people are gonna love it. 412 00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:55,919 Speaker 1: Remember it was that way with Kyler Murray and eight 413 00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:58,280 Speaker 1: and eight. He got up to two of seven and 414 00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:02,720 Speaker 1: he was barely more five nine and a half. But 415 00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:05,680 Speaker 1: he had a great arm and incredible quickness. And Bryce 416 00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:07,879 Speaker 1: Young has a good arm, and he's a good runner 417 00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:11,040 Speaker 1: and a smart runner. But he has every single thing 418 00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:14,320 Speaker 1: you want in a quarterback other than ideal size. But 419 00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:17,399 Speaker 1: size doesn't matter a quarterback as much as it used to. 420 00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:20,720 Speaker 1: And I'm partial to him because I've done a talk 421 00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:25,360 Speaker 1: show a lot in Tuscaloos for years with a god 422 00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:31,760 Speaker 1: covered the Crimson Tide for decades, and he said, Bryce 423 00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:36,879 Speaker 1: Young is the single most impressive player I have ever 424 00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:40,080 Speaker 1: seen on this team, and he goes way back before 425 00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:43,680 Speaker 1: Nick Saban when he's standing up at the podium or 426 00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:50,080 Speaker 1: he's in the absolute best and I think man watching 427 00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:52,440 Speaker 1: him on the field eyes in the back of his head, 428 00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:56,720 Speaker 1: in the anticipation pocket awareness that throws the way he runs. 429 00:24:57,200 --> 00:24:59,800 Speaker 1: I'd love to see him as the face of the 430 00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:03,080 Speaker 1: Texans franchise, but they may like c. J. Stroud. I 431 00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:05,840 Speaker 1: got no problem with him. You watch that last game 432 00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:08,320 Speaker 1: against Georgia, and everybody think he is as good a 433 00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:12,800 Speaker 1: prospect has ever come out because he was magnificent all right, 434 00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:16,360 Speaker 1: general one quick, one yeay or now? And the baseball 435 00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:20,879 Speaker 1: rule changes, pitch clock, bigger basses, end of shift, You 436 00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:22,560 Speaker 1: in or you out. You gotta take them all or 437 00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:27,439 Speaker 1: not take them at all. I'm in because some of 438 00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:30,199 Speaker 1: the things I don't like Right now in spring training, 439 00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:35,680 Speaker 1: they're experimenting with the pitcher calling the pitches, not the catcher. 440 00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:38,520 Speaker 1: They're not gonna do it in regular season now, but 441 00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:42,040 Speaker 1: they could. And I don't like only stepping off the 442 00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:44,800 Speaker 1: mound once and throwing over. You got two moves, we 443 00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:47,159 Speaker 1: can't use the second one because if you do the 444 00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:49,919 Speaker 1: guy who's gonna take a monster jump and steal the 445 00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:52,960 Speaker 1: base an I did with the bigger basses to protect 446 00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:55,720 Speaker 1: they think with injury, but also some of those bang 447 00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:58,080 Speaker 1: bang plays, it might help them steal the base. But 448 00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:02,080 Speaker 1: the pitch clock, which is going to affect the hitters 449 00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:07,639 Speaker 1: like Altub and Tucker who take a airsbox and go 450 00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:12,120 Speaker 1: through the same agonizing routine after ever pitch, They're gonna 451 00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:15,680 Speaker 1: have to speed it up. And I love taking away 452 00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:19,520 Speaker 1: to shift because it will help Alvarez and Tucker and Brandley, 453 00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:22,040 Speaker 1: all those guys did pull the ball on the right 454 00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:24,360 Speaker 1: side of the infield.

So even let's say they 497 00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:43,720 Speaker 1: picked somebody at two, a quarterback, whatever, they picked right 498 00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:46,880 Speaker 1: at two, right, Janet Carter, whoever, whoever it is, I 499 00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:50,240 Speaker 1: think twelve is trading down. Okay, then twelve. We get 500 00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:54,640 Speaker 1: to twelve, but you thought, maybe maybe somebody's there at 501 00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:56,640 Speaker 1: seven or eight that they like and maybe they can 502 00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:59,880 Speaker 1: move up at that point package the first pick in 503 00:28:59,880 --> 00:29:02,680 Speaker 1: the second round with twelve and they move up or 504 00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:04,400 Speaker 1: I don't know what else it takes. But you know 505 00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:05,960 Speaker 1: what I'm saying here, I've been playing a round with 506 00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:08,200 Speaker 1: that with a different mock draft simulators out there, just 507 00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:09,960 Speaker 1: you know what would it cost to go up? It's 508 00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:14,360 Speaker 1: pretty significant. Now, of course you're you know, you're dealing 509 00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:20,160 Speaker 1: with you know, various things that won't happen in real life. Yeah, 510 00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:24,000 Speaker 1: but it would. I was playing around with, Okay, could 511 00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:25,840 Speaker 1: you get from twelve to five? Let's just say you 512 00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:28,719 Speaker 1: can get to five so you could get a quarterback 513 00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:33,080 Speaker 1: and maybe Jalen Carter or Will Anderson. Could you do that? 514 00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:37,920 Speaker 1: And boy, it's it's significant. It is significant. The best 515 00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:42,160 Speaker 1: I was able to do was I traded with Seattle 516 00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:45,760 Speaker 1: at five. I went up. I gave him twelve and 517 00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:48,720 Speaker 1: seventy three, which is Cleveland's third round pick. That we 518 00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:52,080 Speaker 1: have those two and I think a third next year. 519 00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:55,720 Speaker 1: I got me. That's not enough. They took it. They 520 00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:58,040 Speaker 1: took it, so I chopped all over in the simulator. 521 00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:00,440 Speaker 1: They took it, and I got Jalen Carter at five. 522 00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:04,320 Speaker 1: Pete Carroll has entered the chat and he hasn't liked 523 00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:06,760 Speaker 1: this deal. I just think trade down is the thing. Now, 524 00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:09,280 Speaker 1: here's the thing I mentioned. We mentioned were talking with 525 00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:13,320 Speaker 1: the general and you you said it. Tyree Wilson the 526 00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:15,480 Speaker 1: defensive end from out of Texas Tech. Even to the 527 00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:17,560 Speaker 1: lineman because he can move all over the place. He's 528 00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:20,280 Speaker 1: probably gone by then. Kean White is a guy that 529 00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:22,280 Speaker 1: I put in my mocket number twelve. I think he 530 00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:26,520 Speaker 1: could be there. And Miles Murphy the defensive end from Clemson. 531 00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:27,920 Speaker 1: Those are all guys that I mentioned, those guys that 532 00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:31,560 Speaker 1: are on the edge, but they've got they're all big. 533 00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:34,280 Speaker 1: They're all two seventy five or larger. Yeah, so you 534 00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:37,200 Speaker 1: can move them inside and do some different things. One 535 00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:40,000 Speaker 1: of those guys could be available close to you at twelve, 536 00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:41,480 Speaker 1: so you might move up a couple of spots to 537 00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:44,040 Speaker 1: make sure you grabbed one of those. Because even though 538 00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:46,680 Speaker 1: it's an edge player draft, it's a pretty it's a 539 00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:50,040 Speaker 1: pretty deep edge player draft. I think getting one of 540 00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:52,800 Speaker 1: those guys, kind of a top notch edge guy, would 541 00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:54,680 Speaker 1: be I think I think it would be a great thing. 542 00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:58,480 Speaker 1: So I think if you did trade up, I think 543 00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:00,600 Speaker 1: it might be twelve to get up a little bit 544 00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:02,600 Speaker 1: so that you could end up getting one of those 545 00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:05,480 Speaker 1: one of those edge rushes. Okay, A listener Chill cuts 546 00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:08,200 Speaker 1: Deep on Twitter said, if Witherspoon is still there at twelve, 547 00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:12,520 Speaker 1: oh child with a gift? Yeah, Devin with Witherspoon, isn't 548 00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:14,120 Speaker 1: he a mid first round guy? Yeah, he's a mid 549 00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:16,520 Speaker 1: first round guy. Man, you're not gonna take him right there? 550 00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:19,160 Speaker 1: We have we have bigger needs in corner. Yeah, well, 551 00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:22,000 Speaker 1: look we talked. I just put a scouting report out 552 00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:24,560 Speaker 1: on Devin Witherspoon and he's a whole and penalty waiting 553 00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:30,800 Speaker 1: to happen. Oh what too? Hands? He yeah, yeah, like absolutely, okay, 554 00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:34,800 Speaker 1: like can he improve? People will have a lot of 555 00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:37,479 Speaker 1: people thought Sauce was that coming out. Well, here's two 556 00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:40,520 Speaker 1: different hands. I wrote about this in Scotting report. Here's 557 00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:43,320 Speaker 1: the difference. Though Sauce started making adjustments to the end 558 00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:46,080 Speaker 1: of his Cincinnati career. By the time that Sauce got 559 00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:49,520 Speaker 1: to the playoff game, he looked like a different guy. Okay, 560 00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:52,640 Speaker 1: not totally. He still had that in him, but he 561 00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:56,760 Speaker 1: he was. He played that game against Alabama against Alabama's 562 00:31:56,760 --> 00:31:59,200 Speaker 1: receiver Jameson Williams was playing that game that she'd already 563 00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:01,680 Speaker 1: been hurt, but he played Jameson really well, and he 564 00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:04,840 Speaker 1: was not every In fact, I just finished up my 565 00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:07,240 Speaker 1: Witherspoon report today. I was watching the game. Yet Wisconsin 566 00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:10,120 Speaker 1: has seen three others. He has a really and you're 567 00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:12,760 Speaker 1: gonna see the highlights of him. He knocks people out. 568 00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:14,960 Speaker 1: I mean, it's fine. He's six foot one eighty. I'm 569 00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:17,080 Speaker 1: telling you the corners in this draft. I read them 570 00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:19,680 Speaker 1: to you t other day. Yeah, last night, six two 571 00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:23,720 Speaker 1: and bigger. Yeah, so's on smaller side. Yeah, he's on 572 00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:26,320 Speaker 1: the smaller side as it pertains to this class of corners. 573 00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:32,880 Speaker 1: Kevin Johnson's size listing coming out five eleven one eighty. Dang, yeah, 574 00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:36,520 Speaker 1: five eleven one eight. We have trouble staying healthy. He did. Um, 575 00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:38,080 Speaker 1: he might have been at six foot, but it was. 576 00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:40,720 Speaker 1: It's a it's a great it's not. It's a great 577 00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:43,120 Speaker 1: cop and it is and isn't. I think Witherspoon, listen, 578 00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:45,720 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna denigrate. You can see at a football taker, 579 00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:47,920 Speaker 1: but dot com my Scott full Scott and report on Witherspoon. 580 00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:52,800 Speaker 1: I think he has in a press man system, he 581 00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:55,680 Speaker 1: would fit pretty well because he is a tremendous hit. 582 00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:58,880 Speaker 1: But you play off coverage, you played it's a it's 583 00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:00,760 Speaker 1: a penalty waiting to happen. I don't know anything to 584 00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:03,840 Speaker 1: do with Witherspoon at twelve. No, we've got to get 585 00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:07,080 Speaker 1: better on the edges. Okay, that's much more of a need. 586 00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:10,480 Speaker 1: Let No, let's get to the next one here to happen. 587 00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:12,400 Speaker 1: We'll get back to the draft of a second. Let's 588 00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:18,440 Speaker 1: go free agency here more likely destination for Derek Carr 589 00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:22,800 Speaker 1: to end up at Carolina, the Saints, or the field. 590 00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:26,080 Speaker 1: So I'll lump in Carolina and the Saints in one group, 591 00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:29,760 Speaker 1: and then the field in another group. Where's Derek Carr going? 592 00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:34,400 Speaker 1: Pick one? Who? Man? I mean, the field would seem obvious. 593 00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:38,680 Speaker 1: But I think I think him coming back from his 594 00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:42,680 Speaker 1: meeting with the Saints and he said, I'm not taking 595 00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:46,200 Speaker 1: a trade. I think that to me, I took that 596 00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:48,360 Speaker 1: as I think he wants to go to the Saints, 597 00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:50,960 Speaker 1: but he didn't want the Saints to have to give 598 00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:53,320 Speaker 1: up anything for him, Like that's gonna hurt the Saints 599 00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:55,160 Speaker 1: if he ends up going to the Saints. I came 600 00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:57,720 Speaker 1: back from that. I came out of that thinking I 601 00:33:57,760 --> 00:33:59,120 Speaker 1: think he wants to go to the Saints, So it 602 00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:02,640 Speaker 1: would seem lodge goal. Saints yes, but I'm gonna go 603 00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:04,800 Speaker 1: with the field. There's just too many teams that need quarterback. 604 00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:06,960 Speaker 1: Then I think I think there's gonna be a surprise 605 00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:09,560 Speaker 1: in there somewhere. You know, who needs a quarterback? The Raiders. 606 00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:12,680 Speaker 1: Oh wait a minute, it's not gonna work. No, Sinsey, 607 00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:15,640 Speaker 1: Titans might need a quarterback, don't. They've got to financially 608 00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:18,520 Speaker 1: figure that out, as do the Saints. The Saints gotta 609 00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:20,480 Speaker 1: figure it out. The Saints have been steady over the 610 00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:23,640 Speaker 1: cap for a couple of years. Could you see the 611 00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:27,480 Speaker 1: Titans watching tape and saying, you know what, it's not 612 00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:30,239 Speaker 1: that much different in a different kind of way than 613 00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:33,759 Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill agreed, I think Car's better than the Tanny Hill, 614 00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:35,640 Speaker 1: but it's not that to where I've got to make 615 00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:38,360 Speaker 1: these you know, moves. But they gotta figure out what 616 00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:40,319 Speaker 1: to do with Tannie Hill. Yeah, they do. They gotta 617 00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:44,879 Speaker 1: figure it out. Well, while we're on the side, Yeah, 618 00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:47,359 Speaker 1: let's get to this one more likely to have a 619 00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:52,160 Speaker 1: better season the Raiders or the Broncos because the Raiders, 620 00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:54,520 Speaker 1: we don't even know what they're gonna do. Like everyone 621 00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:56,759 Speaker 1: talks about Car, but what are the Raiders going to 622 00:34:56,800 --> 00:35:00,399 Speaker 1: do at quarterback Tom Brady's retired. Always gonna will play 623 00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:03,319 Speaker 1: for Josh McDaniels. I guess that's still a possibility, but 624 00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:06,480 Speaker 1: a slim one. He wants to play for the Raiders. 625 00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:12,840 Speaker 1: Loves Davante Adams, Aaron Rodgers ends up with the raid Stroud, 626 00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:17,200 Speaker 1: Oh my god, Stroud loves Davante. He wants to play 627 00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:18,960 Speaker 1: with Davante, Like, that's where he wants to go. He 628 00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:20,320 Speaker 1: want to go to the Raiders. He wants to go 629 00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:21,920 Speaker 1: the Raiders. Now, the Raiders are gonna have to make 630 00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:23,640 Speaker 1: some moves. I would think they have to move seven. 631 00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:25,560 Speaker 1: They gotta they gotta move up a little bit. But 632 00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:28,480 Speaker 1: you know, listen, Dak Prescott wanted to come play for 633 00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:30,880 Speaker 1: the Texans. That was his favorite. No, no, it's the Cowboys. 634 00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:32,600 Speaker 1: And he ended up with the Cowboys. But he told 635 00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:34,880 Speaker 1: me he wanted to be with Texans. Things change, and 636 00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:37,920 Speaker 1: things changed rather quickly once you get drafted in a 637 00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:42,080 Speaker 1: particular spot. Okay, well, since we're on quarterbacks draftable ones, 638 00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:45,280 Speaker 1: now let's get to the final one more likely to happen, 639 00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:48,560 Speaker 1: more likely to have the better career. We'll go quarterbacks 640 00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:52,160 Speaker 1: three and four. In the projections of this year's draft 641 00:35:52,239 --> 00:35:55,120 Speaker 1: from where we sit now in February sixteen. More likely 642 00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:58,880 Speaker 1: to have the better career will Levis Anthony Richardson, Who's 643 00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:03,000 Speaker 1: gonna have a better career or Johnny Anthony Richardson. Ooh, 644 00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:05,640 Speaker 1: you thought I was gonna say Lovis, didn't you. No, 645 00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:08,960 Speaker 1: I'm a little bit of a surprise because Levis it's 646 00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:12,239 Speaker 1: not like he's a finished product at all, but a 647 00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:14,680 Speaker 1: lot of people think that he could jump in and 648 00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:18,520 Speaker 1: maybe crash the party, that the party of two that 649 00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:22,120 Speaker 1: currently exists between CJ. Stroud and Bryce Young. There's some 650 00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:25,319 Speaker 1: people that think Levis is on the same level of 651 00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:29,680 Speaker 1: Young and Stroud. And I'm like, I'm sorry, Ray Charles 652 00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:33,040 Speaker 1: put that in right. I mean, I can't tell you 653 00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:35,399 Speaker 1: how many games of Levis I've watched and I walk 654 00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:40,359 Speaker 1: out of there going really, I watched Richardson And here's 655 00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:42,680 Speaker 1: the thing, and this is the scary thing with Richardson. 656 00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:46,719 Speaker 1: If you watch the wrong game, you'll be like, I'm 657 00:36:46,760 --> 00:36:50,360 Speaker 1: not touching that guy. You watched the right game and 658 00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:52,680 Speaker 1: you're like, yo, why is he not in the top 659 00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:57,600 Speaker 1: three discussion here? Why is he not up here? His ceiling? Now? 660 00:36:57,719 --> 00:37:01,320 Speaker 1: Richardson started for one year Levis started for two years 661 00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:05,359 Speaker 1: with an NFL coordinator both years, Liam Cohen one year, 662 00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:10,319 Speaker 1: in rich Gangarrella the other year, and Levis still was 663 00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:16,279 Speaker 1: to me underachiever. Anthony Richardson was with a first year coordinator, 664 00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:20,080 Speaker 1: first year head coach at Florida in an absolute mess. 665 00:37:20,560 --> 00:37:22,480 Speaker 1: And I'm telling you, if you watch the Tennessee game 666 00:37:22,560 --> 00:37:25,080 Speaker 1: or you watch the Florida State game, you're gonna see 667 00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:28,360 Speaker 1: some throws and you're like, yo, let's make that happen. 668 00:37:29,160 --> 00:37:32,480 Speaker 1: You turn into Kentucky game, you might be like, why 669 00:37:32,520 --> 00:37:36,000 Speaker 1: are we even talking about this? That's the problem with Richardson. 670 00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:38,279 Speaker 1: It's just all, Oh, do you want the foreigner fifty 671 00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:42,160 Speaker 1: foot home run with three strikeouts one game? Or do 672 00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:44,120 Speaker 1: you want four k's the next or do you want 673 00:37:44,160 --> 00:37:46,400 Speaker 1: two five hundred footers the next? Because that's what you 674 00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:49,399 Speaker 1: get with him. Some of the prettiest throws I've seen 675 00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:52,520 Speaker 1: in this draft class are from Anthony Richardson. And he 676 00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:57,160 Speaker 1: can run, he's exciting, he will put butts in seats, 677 00:37:57,200 --> 00:38:00,759 Speaker 1: but he is going to airmail a wide, open wide 678 00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:04,640 Speaker 1: receiver a decent majority of the time. I mean, it's 679 00:38:04,719 --> 00:38:09,359 Speaker 1: just it's frustrating. Levice never got to a point where 680 00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:11,040 Speaker 1: you're like, that's the guy. Well he's got all these 681 00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:13,319 Speaker 1: different Okay, well then why was he nineteen and ten 682 00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:16,920 Speaker 1: this year with two years of having NFL coordinators and 683 00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:19,760 Speaker 1: Liam Cohen and rich Gangarrella next to him and running 684 00:38:19,760 --> 00:38:23,520 Speaker 1: an offense like that? I mean he had talent. He 685 00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:26,520 Speaker 1: had talent. I broke down every throw from two games. 686 00:38:26,520 --> 00:38:28,600 Speaker 1: You can see it on my website as well against 687 00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:31,439 Speaker 1: specific stating as Georgia both of them and I walked 688 00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:33,719 Speaker 1: out of there going same thing. And there's some really 689 00:38:33,760 --> 00:38:36,040 Speaker 1: nice throws here, and then there are dirt dabbers like 690 00:38:36,360 --> 00:38:39,239 Speaker 1: what like, what is that? He's seven yards away from you, 691 00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:41,200 Speaker 1: wide open and you threw a three yards to the left. 692 00:38:41,239 --> 00:38:43,200 Speaker 1: Questions always gonna be can he cleaned it up? Can 693 00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:45,440 Speaker 1: he improve? You know, everybody's got Josh Allen did it, 694 00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:48,279 Speaker 1: And that's the problem. Josh Allen did it, and he's 695 00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:51,359 Speaker 1: the outlier. But because he did it so recently, everybody, well, 696 00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:54,680 Speaker 1: Josh Allen did it. Well, name another one. Well, that's 697 00:38:54,760 --> 00:38:57,240 Speaker 1: that's the name another. Once you get one guy doing something, 698 00:38:57,320 --> 00:39:00,120 Speaker 1: everyone thinks it's doable for all right, it might now be, 699 00:39:00,320 --> 00:39:01,839 Speaker 1: but it might be for him. For how long did 700 00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:04,600 Speaker 1: we say, Drew Brees short quarterbacks, Drew Brees. Now we've 701 00:39:04,600 --> 00:39:06,200 Speaker 1: got a few more you can throw in the mix. 702 00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:08,600 Speaker 1: So Bryce Young isn't kind of finding that because there's 703 00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:11,000 Speaker 1: been a few more shorter guys that have done some things. 704 00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:14,040 Speaker 1: But for a long time, you know, Jeff Tedford quarterbacks, 705 00:39:14,040 --> 00:39:15,839 Speaker 1: and then Aaron Rodgers came along. You blew that up, 706 00:39:15,880 --> 00:39:17,960 Speaker 1: So you gotta have some sort of narrative that kind 707 00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:19,720 Speaker 1: of blows it out of the water. But and Bryce 708 00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:22,240 Speaker 1: Young is a lot taller than metakme. She was wearing 709 00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:25,480 Speaker 1: four inch heels according to her. Okay, let's get to 710 00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:29,400 Speaker 1: this next. Should Syrianti have gone for it on fourth 711 00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:33,480 Speaker 1: and three relatively late? That's up for debate p FT 712 00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:35,160 Speaker 1: as this article on. And I want to get to 713 00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:37,839 Speaker 1: this and also rule change that I wanted to talk 714 00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:39,799 Speaker 1: to McLean about. We didn't get a chance to do that. 715 00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:43,200 Speaker 1: Should there be a rule change on the assistant to 716 00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:46,920 Speaker 1: quarterback or whoever who needs extra yardage with a pile 717 00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:50,840 Speaker 1: of players behind him? Is this I don't want to 718 00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:53,760 Speaker 1: say fair? Is it's safe? Let's talk about It's Texans Radio. 719 00:39:55,040 --> 00:39:57,520 Speaker 1: Back to the show they teach you Plugged in with 720 00:39:57,560 --> 00:40:01,320 Speaker 1: a Houston Texans. Oh yeah, Mark Andrew Meyer, John Harris 721 00:40:01,320 --> 00:40:04,279 Speaker 1: Sunday Texans Radio studio, which is in the Sports Radio 722 00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:10,080 Speaker 1: six ten studios Tonight High above Greenway Plaza. So a 723 00:40:10,120 --> 00:40:13,480 Speaker 1: few years ago they moved the studio across the hall, 724 00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:18,360 Speaker 1: and we used to have the studio that overlooked fifty nine. Johnny, 725 00:40:18,520 --> 00:40:20,960 Speaker 1: how did you get a show done? It was awesome, 726 00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:23,319 Speaker 1: though I would have been staring outside the entire but 727 00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:25,520 Speaker 1: you could see the traffic, and those are the listeners. 728 00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:27,719 Speaker 1: You know, A car is just a radio with four 729 00:40:27,719 --> 00:40:30,640 Speaker 1: wheels and people driving. Know what I'm saying right now, 730 00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:35,359 Speaker 1: you fella, you're talking right down. It's awesome. No, no, no, 731 00:40:35,520 --> 00:40:38,960 Speaker 1: but you're direct see them, and you know, this is 732 00:40:38,960 --> 00:40:41,719 Speaker 1: a little radio secret for a radio people. Traffic is 733 00:40:41,760 --> 00:40:45,880 Speaker 1: kind of a beautiful thing because they're listening. But and 734 00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:48,360 Speaker 1: I know you have options, but we appreciate you listening. Anyway. 735 00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:50,080 Speaker 1: I don't know why they moved this across the hall. 736 00:40:50,160 --> 00:40:51,560 Speaker 1: I know there was a reason for it, and I 737 00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:55,279 Speaker 1: can't remember what it was. But man, just not the same. 738 00:40:55,360 --> 00:40:57,720 Speaker 1: Poor Chris Santiago over there, it doesn't get to enjoy 739 00:40:57,760 --> 00:41:01,520 Speaker 1: the view. He's got to look at us anyway, Johnny 740 00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:04,600 Speaker 1: fourth and three. So here it is. You're at the 741 00:41:04,600 --> 00:41:07,200 Speaker 1: Eagles thirty two. You're the Eagles, you're at your own 742 00:41:07,360 --> 00:41:11,879 Speaker 1: thirty two yard line, you're down a point and ten 743 00:41:12,080 --> 00:41:15,719 Speaker 1: thirty three left on the fourth quarter. And that's when 744 00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:18,840 Speaker 1: Tony returns at sixty five yards and they score a 745 00:41:18,840 --> 00:41:23,200 Speaker 1: touchdown two plays later. The analytics, according to Florio, and 746 00:41:23,239 --> 00:41:26,880 Speaker 1: he cited this one Twitter account, of course, the analytics 747 00:41:26,880 --> 00:41:30,880 Speaker 1: say to go for it there. Come on, you're on 748 00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:33,960 Speaker 1: your thirty two and you're down a point. I'm not. 749 00:41:34,080 --> 00:41:36,040 Speaker 1: I'm not going for it right there. Look if you 750 00:41:36,120 --> 00:41:38,600 Speaker 1: can't get I agree it's horrible to go three it 751 00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:40,799 Speaker 1: out right there. And I've said that, but guess what 752 00:41:41,960 --> 00:41:45,680 Speaker 1: special teams play you blew that? You didn't you know? 753 00:41:45,719 --> 00:41:48,160 Speaker 1: You moved to ball the ball seven yards on three 754 00:41:48,239 --> 00:41:50,960 Speaker 1: downs and then you blow a special team's play. You're 755 00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:54,000 Speaker 1: telling me going forward on fourth and three, you predict success. 756 00:41:54,120 --> 00:41:56,040 Speaker 1: Let's say you don't make it right there, they score 757 00:41:56,040 --> 00:41:58,000 Speaker 1: a touchdown anyway, Well, Mark, then you know what you 758 00:41:58,080 --> 00:41:59,880 Speaker 1: have to deal with. The they tied the game in 759 00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:01,680 Speaker 1: a way. At least it gives you one play to 760 00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:04,719 Speaker 1: possibly get that first half. Yeah, and then one you're 761 00:42:04,719 --> 00:42:08,120 Speaker 1: gonna get another first down. No, not necessarily. You can't 762 00:42:08,520 --> 00:42:12,120 Speaker 1: presume that. It's not like going for a touchdown. I 763 00:42:12,280 --> 00:42:14,360 Speaker 1: say they did the right thing. They just screwed it up. 764 00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:17,680 Speaker 1: They had a horrible special teams moment. Yep. And obviously 765 00:42:17,680 --> 00:42:20,080 Speaker 1: the rest of the game play. Special teams make the plays. 766 00:42:20,160 --> 00:42:23,120 Speaker 1: If the Texas special teams are out there, they would 767 00:42:23,120 --> 00:42:25,680 Speaker 1: have made the play. And now now you make, now 768 00:42:25,760 --> 00:42:29,120 Speaker 1: you make Mahomes have to drive again, and they did. Look, 769 00:42:29,320 --> 00:42:32,319 Speaker 1: the Chiefs were phenomenal in the second half offensively. If 770 00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:34,360 Speaker 1: there's anything, and this is the one thing, and I 771 00:42:34,360 --> 00:42:39,480 Speaker 1: don't know that the analytics would tell you this, Mahomes 772 00:42:39,480 --> 00:42:42,000 Speaker 1: and the Chiefs were hot. This is the only way 773 00:42:42,040 --> 00:42:43,759 Speaker 1: I would have thought, you know what, we're not going 774 00:42:43,840 --> 00:42:45,960 Speaker 1: to beat them if we give the ball back to 775 00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:48,719 Speaker 1: them in any way, shape or form. I can actually 776 00:42:48,800 --> 00:42:52,239 Speaker 1: understand that philosophy. They're that hot. I don't want to 777 00:42:52,239 --> 00:42:56,480 Speaker 1: give them the ball back. But Ceriani said today thirty 778 00:42:56,520 --> 00:42:58,239 Speaker 1: two or thirty two head coaches would put in that ball, 779 00:42:58,239 --> 00:43:01,640 Speaker 1: and he's right, thirty two would putting that ball. Absolutely. 780 00:43:01,800 --> 00:43:04,120 Speaker 1: How about this. You said it, they're hot, right, Okay, 781 00:43:04,200 --> 00:43:06,759 Speaker 1: I'm down a point I punted to them. If they 782 00:43:06,880 --> 00:43:09,359 Speaker 1: drive the length of the field, it's ten thirty three left. 783 00:43:09,360 --> 00:43:12,080 Speaker 1: This isn't the five minutes to go scenario, right, ten 784 00:43:12,160 --> 00:43:15,560 Speaker 1: thirty three left? All right, here they come. They're gonna 785 00:43:15,560 --> 00:43:17,120 Speaker 1: get a touchdown. But at least I'll have time in 786 00:43:17,160 --> 00:43:19,040 Speaker 1: the clock. And I'm down to touch in a two. Right, 787 00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:22,680 Speaker 1: that's it, right, I'm not down now. If the Chiefs 788 00:43:22,680 --> 00:43:25,440 Speaker 1: go for two right there, that becomes interesting. You know, 789 00:43:25,560 --> 00:43:30,440 Speaker 1: then you're down three scores, right, but no, but oh oh, 790 00:43:30,480 --> 00:43:33,120 Speaker 1: you're already down a point. It's it's the Texans versus 791 00:43:33,120 --> 00:43:36,680 Speaker 1: of the Titans scenario in twenty two. Yeah, you'd beat Oh, 792 00:43:36,680 --> 00:43:39,680 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, you're down two scores? Yeah, I say three. Sorry, Yeah, 793 00:43:39,800 --> 00:43:41,200 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. I know exactly what you mean. 794 00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:45,040 Speaker 1: And that's I don't know where the analytics come out on. 795 00:43:45,880 --> 00:43:49,279 Speaker 1: You're facing the hot team. You really can't give them 796 00:43:49,280 --> 00:43:51,000 Speaker 1: the football back. That's the only way I would have 797 00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:53,120 Speaker 1: seen it. But I'm punting. Listen. I've told you a 798 00:43:53,160 --> 00:43:56,480 Speaker 1: million times. My whole rational way back when I taught 799 00:43:56,360 --> 00:43:59,160 Speaker 1: at Episcow High School in Jacksonville, I always said, God 800 00:43:59,160 --> 00:44:01,320 Speaker 1: gave me four downs. I'm gonna use him. I'm punting 801 00:44:01,360 --> 00:44:04,800 Speaker 1: the ball there. Yeah. I punt the ball there every 802 00:44:04,840 --> 00:44:07,439 Speaker 1: single time, and twice on Sunday. Because I'm gonna trust 803 00:44:07,440 --> 00:44:10,080 Speaker 1: my special teams, my defense is gonna hopefully get a stop. 804 00:44:10,760 --> 00:44:13,640 Speaker 1: I'm punting the ball at that particular moment. Do I 805 00:44:13,680 --> 00:44:15,799 Speaker 1: love it? Hell no, not considering the way I've been 806 00:44:15,800 --> 00:44:17,920 Speaker 1: able to move the ball that during the night. But 807 00:44:18,040 --> 00:44:20,120 Speaker 1: I gotta do it. That is one in which I 808 00:44:20,280 --> 00:44:22,160 Speaker 1: have to I have to punt that thing. All right. 809 00:44:22,160 --> 00:44:24,800 Speaker 1: That's it for the show. We'll get to the old 810 00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:27,200 Speaker 1: helping out the quarterback during the quarterback sneak and sometimes 811 00:44:27,239 --> 00:44:28,919 Speaker 1: the running back when he gets stacked up with extra 812 00:44:28,920 --> 00:44:31,239 Speaker 1: players pushing behind him. Rule that should be changed or 813 00:44:31,400 --> 00:44:33,520 Speaker 1: it's not really a rule. You're not allowed to pull 814 00:44:33,560 --> 00:44:36,720 Speaker 1: the guy. You're not allowed to aid him from in front, 815 00:44:37,280 --> 00:44:40,440 Speaker 1: but from the other direction, and there's nothing in the 816 00:44:40,520 --> 00:44:42,640 Speaker 1: rule book. Will that change. We'll talk about it tomorrow 817 00:44:42,680 --> 00:44:44,520 Speaker 1: with Andre Ware who will be on the show looking 818 00:44:44,560 --> 00:44:48,319 Speaker 1: Forard having Drey on tomorrow.
