1
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:04,800
Speaker 1: Here's the snap, four man rush firing Daffield and got

2
00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:10,320
Speaker 1: a man rock and roll touchdown. Texans game day is

3
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:14,400
Speaker 1: every day. Yeah, nice ball, nice ball, five nights a week.

4
00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:20,439
Speaker 1: They hits keep on coming. Wows, we're gonna Bob our cornerback. No,

5
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:27,880
Speaker 1: it's Texans. All Exans, welcome into Texans All Access. On

6
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:32,240
Speaker 1: a Tuesday. Houston Texans headed into a bye this week,

7
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:34,960
Speaker 1: and we're back. Mark Vandermert and I plan to do

8
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:37,840
Speaker 1: an entire show with the Texans heading on a bye

9
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:40,480
Speaker 1: and you know what, reasons for optimism for the second

10
00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:43,159
Speaker 1: half of the season, but hey, we are really we

11
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 1: are also going to talk about what the players and

12
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:49,480
Speaker 1: what head coach David Culley had to say before they

13
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:52,000
Speaker 1: departed and after that Miami game. But first, how was

14
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 1: Earl Mitchell? How awesome was he? He was great. I

15
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:57,600
Speaker 1: want to clear up my reasons for optimism, really, comment

16
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:00,200
Speaker 1: because I want you to find something. You know, I'm

17
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 1: the Norman Vincent Field of sports talk radio in the

18
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:05,960
Speaker 1: Houston Texans, and I'm here for it. I was just

19
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 1: thinking about it that I'm excited to go to Nashville

20
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:11,280
Speaker 1: to see the Texans play the Titans. I know what

21
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 1: I've seen in the last few road games. I know,

22
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 1: I haven't seen a touchdown since September. I don't even

23
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:21,759
Speaker 1: remember September. But hey, you know, you're coming off the buy.

24
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 1: Maybe you get a little pop off the buy. Maybe

25
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:26,199
Speaker 1: you cut down on some of those penalties and turnovers.

26
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 1: Maybe you come away with a much better performance. And

27
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 1: the Titans lost to the Jets. You have the Jets

28
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:34,960
Speaker 1: here in November twenty eighth. The Jags just beat the Bills.

29
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 1: Stop me, anything's possible. Go up there, play your division, foe,

30
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 1: take your best shot. All right, I'm done with that

31
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 1: for now. That's over. But the show, Earl Mitchell was great,

32
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 1: by the way. Yeah, you know, he's had so much experience.

33
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 1: But to end your career on a super Bowl and

34
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 1: to get a sack on the Super Bowl, I think

35
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 1: that there's no better way to write off the into

36
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 1: the sunset, other than maybe to have won the Super Bowl. Yeah,

37
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 1: that would be better. But the way that he I

38
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 1: didn't realize that he had retired and then come back

39
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 1: and then played so good story. It's a great story.

40
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 1: It's a good little story that he's sitting at home

41
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 1: and yeah, and then he gets called up, called up,

42
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:19,079
Speaker 1: he gets called he announces his retirement. He hasn't retired yet.

43
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:23,240
Speaker 1: In September October, the season's underway, he announces his retirement

44
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 1: November seventh, I think it was, and he's like, I'm done.

45
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 1: I'm done. And then weeks later gets a call, Hey,

46
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 1: we need you San Francisco and he goes and plays

47
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 1: for them and they go to the super Bowl. That's fantastic.

48
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 1: That is their only winning season in the last eight years.

49
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 1: Think about that for a moment. It was a good

50
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 1: winning season. Now they're having a losing season right now.

51
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:47,080
Speaker 1: I don't know what's going to happen there because I

52
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 1: don't know what you can point to anymore. You have

53
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:52,520
Speaker 1: your young quarterback there, you're not playing him, You're playing

54
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:55,639
Speaker 1: Jimmy G. It's not really working out the way you want.

55
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 1: I think Jimmy G has talent. Don't get me wrong.

56
00:02:57,919 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 1: They probably have a whole lot of other issues. I've

57
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:02,960
Speaker 1: dived deep into them because we haven't played them yet,

58
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:05,079
Speaker 1: but we will. We will coming up soon enough. Yeah,

59
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 1: Jimmy G. I mean that's that was That's who was

60
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 1: under center when when Earl was there with San Francisco,

61
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 1: didn't even ask him about that. I felt like there

62
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 1: was there's a part two to that show that we

63
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:15,799
Speaker 1: could probably get to at some point. Why did he

64
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 1: announce his retirement November? Why not just wait till the

65
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 1: end of the year. Maybe he thought nobody was going

66
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 1: to pick him up. Maybe he thought, hey, the writings

67
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:23,360
Speaker 1: on the wall, I'm gonna this is probably the end

68
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:24,919
Speaker 1: of the road for me. I had a lot of

69
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 1: follow ups. But the good thing is he's a legend.

70
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 1: He's gonna be around. We're gonna get him for shows.

71
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:31,640
Speaker 1: I think he doesn't live too far from the stadium either,

72
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 1: and so he's very active in the Houston community. He

73
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 1: is and look being a local guy. You know. Moran

74
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 1: Norris is another one. You know, he played for Madison,

75
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 1: the legendary Race Seals. He was here last night at

76
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 1: the Taste of the Texans. So seeing these guys around,

77
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 1: especially the guys who are homegrown Houston guys, is really

78
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 1: fun for me and the legends. Last night, you know,

79
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 1: I was soaking it up because Travis Johnson was there.

80
00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 1: You got Norris, you got Earl, you got a few

81
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 1: of the other guys, Eric Brown, who we've seen around

82
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 1: here a lot few other guys, Anthony Hill another one.

83
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 1: My gosh, just great to see those guys last night

84
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 1: and wonderful to have Earl on the show. If you

85
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 1: missed it, it'll be on the Texans app soon enough.

86
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 1: Oh nice. Speaking of Moran Norris, he actually works out

87
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:17,360
Speaker 1: at my gym. He has been working out my gym

88
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 1: out in bell Air. He doesn't live in bill Air.

89
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:21,839
Speaker 1: He drives a way into the city to work out there.

90
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:25,600
Speaker 1: And why he just likes the people there. It's like

91
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 1: a neighborhood gym. Yeah, thanks Jim and bill Air. Yeah,

92
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 1: it's a neighborhood gym. But you've had a lot of

93
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 1: Texans working during the lockout. It was like Mario Williams,

94
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:35,720
Speaker 1: it was JJ Watt, it was Brian Cushing, it was

95
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:38,720
Speaker 1: Arian Foster, was Matt Shop, it was owned Like. I

96
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,360
Speaker 1: remember not working for the Texans and being annoyed that

97
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:45,360
Speaker 1: I had to wait in line for a machine or

98
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:48,280
Speaker 1: a squat machine because well, there's Texans players that need

99
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 1: to use it, and I was like, but I was

100
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 1: here first, I didn't quite understand that. But anyway, but

101
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:53,920
Speaker 1: then I ended up getting a job here and I

102
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,279
Speaker 1: recognized a lot of them from those lockout years and

103
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 1: Moran Norris ironically calls me jaw Robis at the gym

104
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,679
Speaker 1: because he thinks I talk more than I work out,

105
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 1: which I say, touche, you actually talk more than I do,

106
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 1: and he does. Oh, we have to get him on

107
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 1: the show. We have to get him on the show.

108
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:13,599
Speaker 1: And jaw Robis could definitely stick. Okay, that's a good nickname.

109
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:16,360
Speaker 1: We'll see. You do. Tend to speak a little bit.

110
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 1: I think it makes it enjoyable. But he always comes

111
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 1: in and wants everyone to admire how slim and trim

112
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:25,279
Speaker 1: he's looking. Oh, he looks good. I saw. I commented,

113
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:28,720
Speaker 1: you shouldn't. You shouldn't because he that's he's always fishing

114
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 1: for compliments. Is that what it is? Yeah, all right,

115
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:34,360
Speaker 1: so he doesn't look I don't normally compliment another man's body,

116
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 1: all right, But Miran Norris, I saw him last night.

117
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 1: I said, dude, you are so jacked up. You look

118
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 1: better than you did when you played. I bet he's

119
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:43,840
Speaker 1: lighter than he was when he played, because he's got

120
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 1: like the small waste now, you know, he's just he

121
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 1: looks like a bodybuilder now And when he played his

122
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:51,159
Speaker 1: fullback probably had to keep weight on, you know, weight

123
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:54,159
Speaker 1: and muscle. So I don't know how he's working it out,

124
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:57,720
Speaker 1: but clearly he's into that, maybe more than some other guys,

125
00:05:57,760 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 1: some other former players, although a lot of them do

126
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,479
Speaker 1: work out. There's another gym I don't know, somewhere around

127
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 1: Belly or Boulevard where a lot of guys work out

128
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 1: former players, that kind of thing. I'm sure they're all

129
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,239
Speaker 1: over the city. It's good to have the former Texans around.

130
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 1: The legends, as we call girl looks pretty big though still.

131
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 1: I didn't even ask him how much he weighs on.

132
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:15,720
Speaker 1: He doesn't look like he's dropped too much. Way you

133
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 1: saw him, you saw him at the event last night. Yeah, yeah,

134
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:22,280
Speaker 1: there's been no like noticeable compliment him on his No,

135
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 1: I did not cut Earl. Were you just making your rounds?

136
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 1: But you know, it's not like it's not like he's

137
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 1: fat or anything, but he was a big guy played, Earl.

138
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:33,359
Speaker 1: You look big still, like I wasn't gonna say anything

139
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:36,040
Speaker 1: about that. This is just so noticeable. You almost had

140
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 1: to say something with Miran Dorris. All right, well, let's

141
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:41,360
Speaker 1: get into some of your hot reads. Tyrod Taylor will

142
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 1: remain the starting quarterback despite throwing an uncharacteristic three interceptions

143
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:48,119
Speaker 1: and Sunday's loss to the Dolphins. Head coach David Calley

144
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:50,920
Speaker 1: said he spoke to Taylor after the game to try

145
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 1: to keep him encourage, especially when the team returns from

146
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:56,239
Speaker 1: the by and has to face a Tennessee Titans team

147
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:59,480
Speaker 1: on the road. I'm glad that David Coley made the

148
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:01,680
Speaker 1: announcement and said he's going to remain the starter. I

149
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:04,039
Speaker 1: absolutely hate going into a bye week and not knowing.

150
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:06,719
Speaker 1: You remember the days mark the quarterback? Who will be

151
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 1: the starting quarterback? Days? Did we? I don't like? I like,

152
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 1: I just like knowing. Okay, so starting quarterback. Going into

153
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 1: the buy news that we liked. We liked it that

154
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 1: Mallett was getting get us keys to the what was

155
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 1: it the big the big quote of the week was

156
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 1: he we've got he's got the keys to the car

157
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 1: ferrari or something? Was it a ferrari? Though Bryan Mallett

158
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 1: referred to the offense as his fra Wow, his ferrari. Well,

159
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 1: you know, the first game, the first game worked out

160
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 1: really well. But yet Alfred Blue running for about a

161
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 1: buck fifty against Cleveland, right mallet through pretty well? What

162
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 1: caught a touchdown against Cleveland. That was twenty fourteen, and

163
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 1: you know, getting that news going into the bye was

164
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 1: a little boost because the season before was a disaster.

165
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 1: We talked about that with Earl and this season in

166
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:58,239
Speaker 1: twenty fourteen was starting to slip away. It slipped away early.

167
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:00,160
Speaker 1: Actually then you were kind of getting it bad back

168
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 1: at the time. Fitzpatrick was coming off a bad game

169
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 1: against I think it was Philly, and then you had

170
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:09,760
Speaker 1: the mallet thing get going for a couple of games.

171
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 1: But then he got hurt and the rest of his history. Well,

172
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 1: Fitzy came back in that Titans game. This game means

173
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 1: something to me. His big pre huddle speech that was

174
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 1: Buffalo confused, confused. You know what. In my brain twenty

175
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 1: fourteen and twenty fifteen sometimes I mixed those two up

176
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 1: because we had a lot of quarterbacks those two years.

177
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 1: I mean, I can't keep them separate because obviously twenty

178
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 1: fourteen was Bill Brian's first year. Twenty fifteen was the

179
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:41,680
Speaker 1: hard rock or hard rock hard Knocks. It was not

180
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 1: hard Rock Stadium. Yeah, we were at hard Rock Stadium,

181
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 1: not a fun outing um in Miami, much like this

182
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 1: past Sundays, But and then twenty sixteen was was brockospoiler.

183
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 1: Well that that and it's that was separate because he

184
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 1: was pretty much the starter or he wasn't started the

185
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:57,560
Speaker 1: whole year. The thing that kind of bothers me in

186
00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 1: retrospect about fourteen and fifteen is I still can't really

187
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 1: tell you what the plan was, And I suppose i'd

188
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 1: have to talk to Rick Smith and Bill O'Brien about

189
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 1: that candidly, like, what was the plan at quarterback really,

190
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 1: because you signed Fitzy but Fitzy seemed like a stop

191
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:13,960
Speaker 1: gap guy at the time, even though he's played every

192
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 1: season since then. You could have said at the time,

193
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick is our started quarterback for the next seven years,

194
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:22,720
Speaker 1: and you know he's played all seven but obviously that

195
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 1: didn't happen. I'm thinking that, Um, I'll tell you what

196
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:28,960
Speaker 1: the plan was. The plan. I think the plan was savage, savage,

197
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:31,000
Speaker 1: but they wanted to do with Tom Brady. It was

198
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:33,959
Speaker 1: back in the day when we didn't start quarterbacks as rookies.

199
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 1: We just let them sit and develop and learn, and

200
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 1: so they were just letting savage. They were just biding times.

201
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:43,360
Speaker 1: Do you remember that draft, that twenty fourteen draft I

202
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:46,199
Speaker 1: do so heading into it, and we thought which quarterback,

203
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:49,080
Speaker 1: which quarterback? And they were just a corner copy of

204
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 1: great quarterbacks like Blake Bortles and Johnny Manzel and well

205
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 1: Teddy Bridgewater. Well those two, yes, but they were not

206
00:09:57,640 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 1: slated to go as high as Yes, they weren't Bortle

207
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 1: Mantell probably not going to go that high. But we wait,

208
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:07,160
Speaker 1: We waited past day one and then day two, right,

209
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 1: and then it was like win Savage, fourth round, when

210
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 1: is the quarterback pick coming? People were climbing the walls

211
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 1: after day two of the drift because you knew you

212
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:17,960
Speaker 1: needed one, but it was late in the game. Yeah,

213
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 1: relatively and look, I think they're thinking was relatively sound

214
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 1: in that, Hey, Bortles is not going to be a

215
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 1: long term answer for anybody, really, uh, And they didn't

216
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 1: feel that way about Bridgewater, who's turned out to be

217
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 1: pretty good. So you you probably could have had Bridgewater,

218
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 1: but you wouldn't have drafted him first overall. Right, No,

219
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,719
Speaker 1: he went. He went at the end of end of

220
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 1: the first or beginning of the second. The first because

221
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:44,720
Speaker 1: Minnesota and they traded with Seattle to get them. So

222
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:46,839
Speaker 1: we were thinking, oh man, because we thought Bridgewater was

223
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:49,000
Speaker 1: going to fall to us that night for the next

224
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 1: day's feast of picks. But it didn't happen that way.

225
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 1: He got picked and then first pick in the second round.

226
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 1: I'll always say this, and I don't you know, I

227
00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:59,600
Speaker 1: don't mind saying this about the organization. I really felt

228
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 1: at the time time that and I was hoping for

229
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:05,079
Speaker 1: the best for Suephila, who is still in the league.

230
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:08,440
Speaker 1: But to me, if you drafted Garoppolo right there at

231
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:10,959
Speaker 1: the top of the second round, no one would have said,

232
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:14,600
Speaker 1: horrible pick. And if you flame out with them at

233
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 1: the time, all right, you drafted a quarterback in the

234
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:18,600
Speaker 1: second round, what are you gonna do? You know, it

235
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:22,200
Speaker 1: didn't work out. I understood not drafting Derek because of

236
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 1: all the history. I kind of got that. Now people

237
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 1: will say, but what are the odds? I mean, I

238
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:30,080
Speaker 1: just remember thinking the odds of the Texans getting the

239
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 1: number one overall pick and they need a quarterback, and

240
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:35,120
Speaker 1: it just happens to be the year that the other

241
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 1: quarterback that you draft in first overall it's his younger brother.

242
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 1: And you've got this just this history that people just

243
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:42,720
Speaker 1: don't you know, what are the I was just such

244
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:45,480
Speaker 1: a crazy it's such a crazy year. But my favorite

245
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:48,160
Speaker 1: part about that entire draft process was that remember how

246
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:51,440
Speaker 1: many of those really big name draft picks we saw

247
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:54,600
Speaker 1: walking around in the cafeteria, Like I remember seeing Clowney

248
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:57,000
Speaker 1: and Johnny Manzil sitting at the same table. We were

249
00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:58,760
Speaker 1: not allowed to take pictures or tweet about any of

250
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:00,960
Speaker 1: this because it was all like for hush hush. I

251
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 1: remember Jimmy Garoppolo showed up in a suit and tie,

252
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:07,720
Speaker 1: which I was really impressed by, to me visit because

253
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:10,480
Speaker 1: everyone else because like Johnny Manziel was wearing like pink pants,

254
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 1: and was he really you noticed these things? Remember I

255
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 1: was wearing a pink shirt and Clowney was wearing pink pants.

256
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 1: They were both wearing the salmon color, which I remember thinking,

257
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:21,880
Speaker 1: together that would make a complete outfit. But what an odd,

258
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:25,040
Speaker 1: odd color to wear for your job interview. But then

259
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 1: I noticed that it's not really a job interview, it's

260
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 1: more like a visit. But all I remember is Manziel

261
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:33,319
Speaker 1: and Clowney having lunch together in the cafe, and that

262
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 1: was a real sight to see. I mean, that was

263
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:39,720
Speaker 1: really unbelievable and I wanted to take pictures and tweet

264
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 1: it out and probably would not have gone over big Garoppolo.

265
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:45,920
Speaker 1: I saw him on the stairs. I saw numerous other

266
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 1: guys in the building that year. It was exciting to

267
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:51,680
Speaker 1: have the number one pick. Not that I'm yearning for

268
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:54,480
Speaker 1: that kind of excitement again, but you are sort of

269
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 1: on a collision course to possibly get it this year

270
00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:00,680
Speaker 1: if you don't reverse your fortunes. And look, I'm not

271
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:03,959
Speaker 1: into tanking, and I don't really think I don't want

272
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:06,439
Speaker 1: to see that, you know, I go back to Miami

273
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:09,760
Speaker 1: tank for Tua. Well, Tuah wasn't the number one pick,

274
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 1: and they ended up with them anyway. Now it's not

275
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 1: really working out the way they want. And they play

276
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 1: on Thursday night, by the way, against the Ravens at home.

277
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:17,000
Speaker 1: That was going to be a short week for them.

278
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 1: But the point is this, is there anybody out there

279
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 1: that's really, you know, blowing your mind as a number

280
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:25,720
Speaker 1: one pick selection that's worth losing games intentionally for Not

281
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 1: that they're trying to do that, but I don't want

282
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 1: to see it. I want to see them play hard.

283
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:31,320
Speaker 1: I want to see them win games down the stretch here.

284
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:33,840
Speaker 1: Having a number one pick, I don't think is any

285
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:37,839
Speaker 1: great shakes. Honestly, most of the time you could say, oh,

286
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:40,199
Speaker 1: it worked out with Kyler Murray, let's work it out

287
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:43,160
Speaker 1: so far pretty well. We'll see where it goes. Baker Mayfield,

288
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:45,960
Speaker 1: I guess so he's playing pretty well, you know, but

289
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:49,280
Speaker 1: it's not like he's a franchise changer at least they

290
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:53,200
Speaker 1: feel very solid at quarterback at the moment, right But

291
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:55,840
Speaker 1: how many how many quarterbacks did they miss on before

292
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:58,080
Speaker 1: they got to Baker? So, I mean, how many guys

293
00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:00,439
Speaker 1: have they drafted, like one overall with Tim Couch and

294
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:03,440
Speaker 1: then first round anyway, and then second round down the

295
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:06,079
Speaker 1: line here called McCoy have wheedon in the first round.

296
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:08,440
Speaker 1: I mean, you have all these misses by the Cleveland

297
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 1: Browns over the years. At least they feel pretty stable,

298
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:13,880
Speaker 1: although they haven't resigned him to his second contract, so

299
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 1: we'll see where it goes there. And then you have

300
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:18,560
Speaker 1: all the other examples Jared Goff, Carson Wentz one two

301
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:22,720
Speaker 1: bye bye, You have Jameis Winston, Marcus Mariota one two

302
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 1: bye bye. You know, maybe you're better off getting one

303
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:27,960
Speaker 1: of these guys like Tannehill, who is drafted pretty high.

304
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:31,080
Speaker 1: But they were able to the Colts. I mean the

305
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 1: Titans were able to get him later, you know, even

306
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,240
Speaker 1: after he signed the second big deal in Miami. Get

307
00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:38,080
Speaker 1: him later and he turns into something good. I'm not

308
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 1: saying that's always gonna be possible or available, but it's

309
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 1: just I'm back to that thinking deep where we were

310
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 1: pre Watson, which is, quarterbacks come from all over the place, right,

311
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson third rounder, Brady I get a sixth rounder,

312
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:52,640
Speaker 1: but you can hardly count on back. But quarterbacks come

313
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 1: from Dak Prescott fourth rounder. Quarterbacks come from all over

314
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 1: the place. Find a guy somewhere. It doesn't really matter. Yeah,

315
00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:01,560
Speaker 1: the odds are better in the first round, but it's

316
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:04,600
Speaker 1: hardly a lock, I think. I mean, I agree with

317
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 1: you there. I'm most excited about just having a first

318
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:08,840
Speaker 1: round pick again. It seems like we've not had a

319
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:11,440
Speaker 1: first round pick. But I'm with you. I don't need

320
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:13,480
Speaker 1: to have a number one overall pick because I think

321
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 1: what you gain by winning a few games here in

322
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:19,520
Speaker 1: the stretch is more beneficial than having that number one overall.

323
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:21,480
Speaker 1: I agree. I mean, I just think that bad for

324
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 1: the organizations. BAT fans don't want to see it. It's

325
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:26,840
Speaker 1: hard on the locker room to be losing all these games.

326
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:29,840
Speaker 1: I just remember twenty thirteen losing you know, fourteen games

327
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:32,240
Speaker 1: in a row. It's just so bad from morale. And

328
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:34,920
Speaker 1: at the that that season, you knew all the coaches

329
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 1: were gone. You knew they were all going to be gone.

330
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 1: Like this is very different. I mean, this is like

331
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:42,440
Speaker 1: the beginning of this coaching staff's era. And you want

332
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:43,520
Speaker 1: you want to be able to see some of these

333
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:45,280
Speaker 1: young guys that they were able to draft last year,

334
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:47,120
Speaker 1: how they do. You want to be able to see them,

335
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:50,840
Speaker 1: see them have some success on the field. So with

336
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:54,280
Speaker 1: that being said, I'd happily take any first round pick

337
00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 1: in the top ten. I think that any of those

338
00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 1: picks could pan out well. But now it has to

339
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:00,840
Speaker 1: be in the top ten, has to be in the time.

340
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 1: But you know, I all likelihood, in all likelihood marks probably,

341
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:08,720
Speaker 1: I mean, unless something crazy happens, I'm here for the

342
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 1: crazy that dzy. But I want to flashy. I want

343
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:15,080
Speaker 1: a flashy top ten picks. You want to go to

344
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:18,160
Speaker 1: the combine and be interviewed by I was so famous

345
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:22,280
Speaker 1: that year, Yeah, Kurt Warrener, like all these people wanted

346
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 1: to talk to us. When I say Hey, you do

347
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:26,040
Speaker 1: an interview with Texans TV, But what you think the

348
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:28,760
Speaker 1: Texas They all wanted to talk to us, Like everyone

349
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:31,040
Speaker 1: had an opinion on what the Texans were going to do,

350
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:33,560
Speaker 1: and it was like this pretty big secret. I think

351
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:35,520
Speaker 1: up until draft night, if they were going to take

352
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:37,800
Speaker 1: a quarterback, were they going to take Clowney? What were

353
00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:39,760
Speaker 1: they going to do? I mean, I just want to

354
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:42,560
Speaker 1: see a really cool, flashy player come out and give

355
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 1: everyone a little bit of excitement and hope, and then

356
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:47,040
Speaker 1: that be the piece that you start building this team around,

357
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 1: because you've already got some really young players that are

358
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:51,640
Speaker 1: showing up. You've got John Bernard, You've got Nico Collins,

359
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:53,840
Speaker 1: you got Roy Lopez, You've got these sort of guys.

360
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:55,880
Speaker 1: You got Brandon Cooks. You've got some veterans there as

361
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:59,320
Speaker 1: well that you can really start building around. But I mean,

362
00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:02,320
Speaker 1: I'm just happy. I hope the draft is or not

363
00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 1: the draft, the combine is in person? Yeah, I think

364
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:07,440
Speaker 1: I hope that we're there. I hope that we can

365
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:10,280
Speaker 1: listen to players do their press conferences and really get

366
00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:12,480
Speaker 1: to know this draft class in person. Well that would

367
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:14,920
Speaker 1: be nice because you might end up with multiple picks, right,

368
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 1: and you might not know it then, but multiple picks,

369
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:19,960
Speaker 1: you know, imagine a couple of first couple of seconds.

370
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:23,679
Speaker 1: That'd be really cool, at least because you haven't had anything.

371
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:26,280
Speaker 1: You've had one first round pick in the last four

372
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:29,320
Speaker 1: years leading up to this, so that would be super cool.

373
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:31,440
Speaker 1: Two second round picks in the last four years leading

374
00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 1: up to this, so one, two, three first or second

375
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:37,879
Speaker 1: round picks in the last four years. I mean, the

376
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 1: drafts have been like we'll see a late Friday night,

377
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:45,399
Speaker 1: you know. I mean, that's that's what our draft coverage

378
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:47,600
Speaker 1: has been. We've been covering the whole draft, but not

379
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:49,920
Speaker 1: with the kind of interest and focus that we will

380
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 1: have right now. And you're right about excitement. That's gonna

381
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:54,920
Speaker 1: fire everybody up. And I think you mentioned some of

382
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:57,520
Speaker 1: the players that we should all be excited about. There's

383
00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:00,800
Speaker 1: no question I'm excited about those players moving forward. You

384
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:03,480
Speaker 1: need a lot more with the amount of one year

385
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:06,840
Speaker 1: contract guys you have on this roster. Get ready for

386
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 1: another wave of fifty plus coming in here in the

387
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:11,040
Speaker 1: off season. I don't know how else they're gonna do it.

388
00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:14,480
Speaker 1: Because I'm including the draft class, undrafted free agents, and

389
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:18,400
Speaker 1: new free agents. They're not going to resign everybody. They'll

390
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:21,040
Speaker 1: resign some of these guys, they will, but not everybody.

391
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:22,840
Speaker 1: Maybe it won't be fifty, but it's gonna be a

392
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:25,600
Speaker 1: lot of guys on that ninety man roster. It's gonna

393
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:28,000
Speaker 1: be a ton of new guys again. And look, that's

394
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:29,880
Speaker 1: fine because I think they brought in some good players

395
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 1: this year, and they'll Nick Casserio is gonna find some

396
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 1: other guys around the league who can help this team,

397
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:37,960
Speaker 1: who might not be high priced, marquee busting free agents,

398
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:41,240
Speaker 1: but they'll definitely contribute and make a difference. And if

399
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 1: you get enough of the young players in the mix

400
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 1: and get a quarterback, if it's look, maybe it's Davis.

401
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:48,040
Speaker 1: Maybe Tyrode ends up starting again next year because he

402
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:50,040
Speaker 1: liked what he does down the stretch. Here. There's so

403
00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:52,800
Speaker 1: much season to be played, but we'll see. We'll see

404
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:55,320
Speaker 1: how this season plays out. And obviously the off season's

405
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:57,080
Speaker 1: gonna give you a lot of a lot of excitement.

406
00:18:57,080 --> 00:19:00,280
Speaker 1: Which players do you think the Texans want to bring

407
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:02,040
Speaker 1: back next year out of the ones that they've signed

408
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:04,159
Speaker 1: short term? Con I think there's probably a lot of

409
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:06,080
Speaker 1: like we don't know yet. We got to see more.

410
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:08,080
Speaker 1: But of the guys right now that I could say.

411
00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 1: I can't call anybody a lock, but guys, the guys

412
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:12,719
Speaker 1: you drafted in the last couple of years, like you

413
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:16,400
Speaker 1: mentioned Bernard and Ross Blacklock and players like that, Roy Lopez,

414
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 1: Charlie Heck. I think all those guys are back right,

415
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:21,879
Speaker 1: like free agent signings, like guys that you that were

416
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 1: team Yeah, that's he I thought of him. I hope Kirksey, Yeah,

417
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:28,240
Speaker 1: probably Kirksey. I mean, look, I can't speak for that.

418
00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 1: I hope Justin Britt. I mean, I really like here

419
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:32,800
Speaker 1: Britt would be nice. I don't know if he I

420
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:34,840
Speaker 1: don't know. You know, sometimes these guys have only so

421
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:37,159
Speaker 1: many years left in their career. They're like, this is

422
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 1: just a stop for me until I go somewhere else

423
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:40,480
Speaker 1: and I want to want a ring or maybe somewhere

424
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:44,120
Speaker 1: but maybe somewhere else, or maybe I'm I'm done, maybe

425
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:46,800
Speaker 1: he's done. We don't know. I don't know how they're gonna.

426
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:50,320
Speaker 1: You know, every guy is a different scenario. The secondary

427
00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:53,879
Speaker 1: to me is really one of focus because you have

428
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:56,800
Speaker 1: Justin Reid free agent to be Yeah, so how do

429
00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:58,560
Speaker 1: they handle that? How does he handle that? He can

430
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:00,199
Speaker 1: hit the market and make a lot of money. And

431
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 1: you know who knows those things are hardly guaranteed when

432
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:06,160
Speaker 1: you talk about potential to keep a player. Uh, they're

433
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:08,840
Speaker 1: gonna rebuild the whole thing back there, right, They have

434
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:10,440
Speaker 1: to because a lot of those guys are gonna be

435
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:13,480
Speaker 1: gone anyway or potentially gone. So there's a lot to

436
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:17,320
Speaker 1: focus on there. I think the old line is one

437
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:21,440
Speaker 1: to discuss here, a position group to discuss, because I

438
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:23,480
Speaker 1: really thought it would be a lot better coming in.

439
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:25,679
Speaker 1: But I thought you'd have, for the most part, you know,

440
00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:29,439
Speaker 1: four out of five healthy, you know, three starters out right.

441
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:31,919
Speaker 1: Now you've got to you've got a rookie starting at center.

442
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:35,000
Speaker 1: You've moved Titus from right or Titus who did a

443
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:37,239
Speaker 1: fantastic job I thought it right tackle last year. You've

444
00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:40,280
Speaker 1: got him playing left guard. And then you had Marcus Cannon,

445
00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 1: who you thought would be your right tackle. He's on IR.

446
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 1: And then you've got Laramie, who's you know, the best,

447
00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:47,360
Speaker 1: the best offensive lineman you have on IR as well.

448
00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:49,680
Speaker 1: Maybe he comes back for Tennessee. That would be big

449
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:51,840
Speaker 1: to get at least one of them, one of them

450
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:53,480
Speaker 1: back would be nice. I mean, I don't know what

451
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:56,439
Speaker 1: Justin Britts. I don't I just don't know what his

452
00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:59,680
Speaker 1: forecast is for returning, but it seems like Larry's pretty close.

453
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:03,239
Speaker 1: Laramie seems close. We saw him out there Friday a

454
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:06,200
Speaker 1: little bit, you know, not practicing because he's obviously still

455
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:08,680
Speaker 1: on IR, but just out there, which I thought was

456
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:11,040
Speaker 1: a good sign. That would be cool to get Laramie back.

457
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:14,720
Speaker 1: This Jimmy Morrissey, you know, Johnny looked at him pretty closely.

458
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:17,240
Speaker 1: And I don't think the final review is in, but

459
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:19,320
Speaker 1: you know, there were some moments where you know, it

460
00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:21,640
Speaker 1: was a rookie starting at center against a tough defensive

461
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:24,280
Speaker 1: front Miami. They do have talent on that line. You know,

462
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:28,200
Speaker 1: Ray quant Davis is tough. But he saw some good things.

463
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:31,520
Speaker 1: So maybe Morrissey can continue to develop. He's a rookie center.

464
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:34,800
Speaker 1: You never know. I mean, look here, it's been really

465
00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:38,639
Speaker 1: a journey at center. Right when you look at Chris Meyer,

466
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:41,359
Speaker 1: you had Steve McKinney, once upon a time, you had

467
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:44,919
Speaker 1: Mike Flanagan, you had Chris Myers and Myers, Yeah, he

468
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:48,119
Speaker 1: passed the torch to Ben Jones, who was pretty decent,

469
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:50,680
Speaker 1: I thought, but you didn't resign him, and he's still

470
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:54,520
Speaker 1: starting for the Tennessee Titans when he's not hurt, and

471
00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:57,280
Speaker 1: and you went to like Nick Martin didn't really work out.

472
00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:00,240
Speaker 1: Greg Mann started a whole year because Martin after he

473
00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:02,959
Speaker 1: was drafted, was hurt and Man started for you and

474
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:06,000
Speaker 1: he was playing for Miami this past weekend. So look,

475
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:08,880
Speaker 1: that's where it's weird. Like you look at teams that

476
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:14,000
Speaker 1: win games with lineman that really they won with him playing,

477
00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:17,160
Speaker 1: but they do. You know, it does happen every single week.

478
00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:21,199
Speaker 1: I see David Qusenberry getting meaningful snaps in Tennessee. Julian

479
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:23,520
Speaker 1: and Davenport was bouncing around last year. I don't know

480
00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:26,720
Speaker 1: where he is at l I feel like, yeah, so's

481
00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:29,680
Speaker 1: he's a death guy somewhere. But a lot of guys

482
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:32,720
Speaker 1: the Texans have said goodbye to end up playing. You know,

483
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:35,400
Speaker 1: Odea Bushi was getting some snaps and people like that.

484
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:39,359
Speaker 1: I don't know dB. I can't evaluate offensive lineman. I

485
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:41,960
Speaker 1: do know when the quarterback is getting bull rushed or whatever,

486
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:44,480
Speaker 1: you know, where you know it's a complete jail break

487
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:47,639
Speaker 1: blitz like we saw last week. A bunch of I

488
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:50,399
Speaker 1: think that they're of the two position groups that I

489
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:53,600
Speaker 1: think is worth investing the money. I mean, I think, oh, line,

490
00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:56,480
Speaker 1: and I think cornerbacks, don't you. I mean, I feel

491
00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:58,840
Speaker 1: like we have kind of gone through this where you

492
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:01,240
Speaker 1: draft a guy, they do well, and then you don't

493
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:03,120
Speaker 1: resign him for a lot of money. They go somewhere else,

494
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:06,280
Speaker 1: and then it's so hard to replace a left tackle,

495
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:09,200
Speaker 1: a center, a right tackle. When Derek Newton went out,

496
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:12,680
Speaker 1: it was really hard. I mean just because we drafted

497
00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:15,480
Speaker 1: I think so well in those early years and then

498
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:18,000
Speaker 1: didn't really add a lot of depth that when one

499
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:20,800
Speaker 1: of those starters went out, it was like you're scrambling.

500
00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:23,080
Speaker 1: And then you do develop a guy and you think, okay, fine,

501
00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:25,159
Speaker 1: we'll just do it all over again. It sometimes that

502
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:26,879
Speaker 1: works out and sometimes it doesn't. You can say that

503
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:29,879
Speaker 1: about any position. I think you obviously would say that

504
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:33,480
Speaker 1: about your quarterback, but I think cornerbacks in general, like

505
00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:35,720
Speaker 1: like a Jalen Ramsey. Look how much money a guy

506
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:37,880
Speaker 1: like that's commanding. I think if you draft a guy

507
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:40,040
Speaker 1: like that, he does well and you like him, you

508
00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:42,000
Speaker 1: got to shut down corner You pay him and you

509
00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:45,200
Speaker 1: keep him well. You can say all that, but when

510
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:48,240
Speaker 1: you start paying money, so I can't say that but

511
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:50,800
Speaker 1: it's also a cap problem, like what Kansas City is

512
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:54,359
Speaker 1: going through right now. They resigned every guy to you

513
00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:59,040
Speaker 1: like market breaking contracts, Like you can't set the market

514
00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:00,919
Speaker 1: on like three or four from position. I don't know

515
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:03,400
Speaker 1: how the Rams do it because they keep trading draft

516
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:05,680
Speaker 1: choices and they keep having a sign guys. Well better

517
00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:07,800
Speaker 1: work out for them, otherwise they're going to be like,

518
00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:09,760
Speaker 1: there's not gonna have a pick till the fifth round.

519
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:12,080
Speaker 1: Part of the reason why they traded Cooks was they

520
00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:14,119
Speaker 1: just needed to get out from under the contract that

521
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:16,280
Speaker 1: they didn't like him as a player. They did like

522
00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:18,840
Speaker 1: him as a player, but they knew that they couldn't

523
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:20,679
Speaker 1: pay their other guys. They're gonna have trouble paying their

524
00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:23,919
Speaker 1: draft class that year if they didn't make that change. No,

525
00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:25,840
Speaker 1: you're absolutely right, But you know what. Here he is

526
00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:28,399
Speaker 1: with the Texans, and I love him. Do you remember

527
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 1: I want him here when we when we did trade

528
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:32,399
Speaker 1: from there was a lot of talk about his durability

529
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:34,879
Speaker 1: and his availability and the concussions, And it seems like

530
00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:36,879
Speaker 1: of all the of all the players, he seems to

531
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:40,120
Speaker 1: be knock on wood, just so durable, so dependable. He's

532
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:42,840
Speaker 1: available for every single game, and no matter who's a quarterback,

533
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:45,560
Speaker 1: he's catching the ball and he's a really hard worker.

534
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:48,280
Speaker 1: I mean that worked out well for the Texans. So

535
00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:50,639
Speaker 1: you got a guy like that, keep him, you know,

536
00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:52,600
Speaker 1: and then and then you build around one of the

537
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:55,200
Speaker 1: best receivers in the game, no question, top five guy

538
00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:58,159
Speaker 1: in catches right now? Do I call him a top

539
00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:01,359
Speaker 1: five receiver in the league. He's close uenof top ten five.

540
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:04,080
Speaker 1: He is awesome. Did you get a chance to ask

541
00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:06,879
Speaker 1: him about singing in musicals? Not yet, it's coming up.

542
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:09,400
Speaker 1: I mean it went from look were we were talking

543
00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:11,560
Speaker 1: to him about coaching when he retires. I said in

544
00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:14,919
Speaker 1: ten years or something. But it didn't get from that too.

545
00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:18,600
Speaker 1: All right, recite the first three numbers of Hamilton. It

546
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:21,480
Speaker 1: didn't get to that trends after the eighth loss in

547
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:23,280
Speaker 1: a row. Somehow, it didn't get to that. We don't

548
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:25,639
Speaker 1: have a big long hour with him. It's like seven minutes.

549
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:28,359
Speaker 1: So maybe someday he's also Monday morning, he's just like,

550
00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:30,919
Speaker 1: how did we get here? Yeah? Anyway, how did we

551
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:33,000
Speaker 1: get here? One and eight? We've got more coming up

552
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:35,760

568
00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:39,960
Speaker 1: All Access. I was just telling Mark during the break,

569
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:42,879
Speaker 1: I actually hate talking about the draft, but yet I

570
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:46,240
Speaker 1: love talking about the draft because one you hate talking

571
00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:49,520
Speaker 1: about it, the draft this early in your season, It's okay.

572
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:52,600
Speaker 1: We haven't even hit the bye weekend. In the seventeen

573
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:55,440
Speaker 1: game season. First of all, Tom Brady was complaining about

574
00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:56,720
Speaker 1: what a long season it is because you have the

575
00:26:56,760 --> 00:27:00,560
Speaker 1: bye week and it's like week eight and you're not

576
00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:02,840
Speaker 1: even halfway through the season at week eight, it is.

577
00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:05,600
Speaker 1: That is weird discouraging for him. I'm like, how about

578
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:08,320
Speaker 1: discouraging for teams that are won in eight Tom Brady, Yes,

579
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:11,280
Speaker 1: but you do have the games to look. They have

580
00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:15,399
Speaker 1: not clinched a losing season yet. All right, there's a

581
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:20,760
Speaker 1: percentage chance, there's there's magnematically a hunt. You're still in

582
00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:22,600
Speaker 1: the Hunt. I don't think we're going to show up

583
00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:27,199
Speaker 1: at activity in the Hunt graphic boards. But the Texans

584
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:30,119
Speaker 1: have not had back to back losing seasons in fifteen years.

585
00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:32,840
Speaker 1: I want people to just sort of sit on that

586
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:36,760
Speaker 1: for a moment. And it's been fifteen years since this

587
00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:40,080
Speaker 1: organization has had back to back losing seasons. And the

588
00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:42,960
Speaker 1: way people talk about this organization, you would think, you know,

589
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:45,520
Speaker 1: we're like San Francisco, one winning season in the last

590
00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:48,280
Speaker 1: eight No, they've been a lot of winning seasons here.

591
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:50,520
Speaker 1: I know it's not the kind of winning season you

592
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:52,760
Speaker 1: want at the end where you win the Super Bowl,

593
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:56,760
Speaker 1: but I like winning seasons, and this year doesn't appear

594
00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:59,360
Speaker 1: it's gonna be one because you'd have to win out

595
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:01,200
Speaker 1: to get that on and based on the way things

596
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:03,199
Speaker 1: of God, you know, well, I just think I think

597
00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:06,360
Speaker 1: that's normal for fan bases. Tyro Tyron Matthew, I don't

598
00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:08,439
Speaker 1: know if you saw this. He had tweeted about the

599
00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:10,640
Speaker 1: Kansas City fan base being one of the most toxic.

600
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:14,680
Speaker 1: Toxic done. He shouldn't have done it, but I mean

601
00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:17,359
Speaker 1: I thought, wow, you've gone to a super Bowl twice,

602
00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:20,520
Speaker 1: You've got an up and coming quarterback, and I mean

603
00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:23,960
Speaker 1: people they're complaining, well, well people, all right, so let's

604
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:27,119
Speaker 1: just obviously they've they've fallen well short of expectations for

605
00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:30,320
Speaker 1: this year season, right, And it's not over. I mean

606
00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:33,960
Speaker 1: it's not. They just got a gift because Aaron Rodgers,

607
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:39,640
Speaker 1: you know when I'm immunized, right or whatever, because he

608
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:44,560
Speaker 1: actually caught COVID, right, and that eliminated him from that game.

609
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:46,760
Speaker 1: And that was a gift because if he plays in

610
00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:49,760
Speaker 1: that game the way that game unfolded, the Chiefs don't

611
00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:52,880
Speaker 1: look so hot. But the point is that every fan

612
00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:55,560
Speaker 1: base is going to be upset or certain elements of

613
00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:57,320
Speaker 1: the fan base. They're gonna be upset when you're not

614
00:28:57,360 --> 00:29:00,880
Speaker 1: performing up to expectations. It's just a fat It's the NFL.

615
00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:04,400
Speaker 1: I really gleaned a lot in the last few weeks

616
00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:07,680
Speaker 1: because I started listening to the opposing radio flagship station

617
00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:10,200
Speaker 1: during the week when we played an opponent. Okay, and

618
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:14,239
Speaker 1: everybody's lighting up their team. Everybody's lighting them up. You know,

619
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:17,800
Speaker 1: anything short of perfection, even perfection, it's not it's not

620
00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:20,240
Speaker 1: the right kind of perfection. You know, when the Texans

621
00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:22,200
Speaker 1: won nine in a row, I was just thinking that

622
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:24,400
Speaker 1: same thing. I thought. When the Texans won nine in

623
00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:26,720
Speaker 1: a row. There was a lot of talk about, well

624
00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:29,520
Speaker 1: it wasn't a real opponent, or oh well they were

625
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:31,360
Speaker 1: they were not playing their best game. But you know,

626
00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:34,520
Speaker 1: the Texans beat the Cowboys on Sunday Night football. Yeah,

627
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:37,840
Speaker 1: they beat the Colts in overtime. Yeah right. I mean

628
00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:40,240
Speaker 1: they still beat teams that are hard to beat in

629
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:42,520
Speaker 1: this league. But they didn't beat them the right way.

630
00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:45,600
Speaker 1: They didn't win by enough, they didn't cover I don't

631
00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:48,240
Speaker 1: know what people complain about. I never complained about wins. Now.

632
00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:52,640
Speaker 1: That was the caution that you had in some performances

633
00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:55,040
Speaker 1: that weren't great, but you wont anyway. You know, some

634
00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:57,960
Speaker 1: of it's warranted because what happened later The Colts beach

635
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:00,080
Speaker 1: you at home in the regular season, and then you

636
00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:02,880
Speaker 1: got them for the postseason, and they beat you again

637
00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:06,920
Speaker 1: in the playoffs, and that was hard to stomach. And

638
00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:08,960
Speaker 1: you lost the game to Philly late in the season

639
00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:10,400
Speaker 1: where if you'd won that, you had a chance of

640
00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:12,240
Speaker 1: to buy if you won that in the final game.

641
00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:15,800
Speaker 1: And remember they left the field, the offense did, left

642
00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:18,200
Speaker 1: the field with a lead, defense couldn't hold it. The

643
00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:21,120
Speaker 1: rest is history. So look, everybody's gonna get upset about

644
00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:23,920
Speaker 1: not winning championships, and I get it. So let's just

645
00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:26,120
Speaker 1: see if they could build this team back up fast.

646
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:28,800
Speaker 1: And you know that this team's only two seasons from

647
00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:31,800
Speaker 1: less than two seasons removed from a post season appearance.

648
00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:34,280
Speaker 1: Which is like when when Earl was talking about the

649
00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:37,240
Speaker 1: Super Bowl at nine Super Bowl, I thought, why does

650
00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:39,120
Speaker 1: that Super Bowl feel like a blur? Oh yeah, because

651
00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:41,000
Speaker 1: I was too sick to my stomach to really watch

652
00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:43,840
Speaker 1: that Super Bowl. Oh yeah, because that was bow, that

653
00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:46,840
Speaker 1: was we were I I don't know why it was

654
00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:51,280
Speaker 1: already making plans for hosting the Titans in the Divisional round,

655
00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:55,280
Speaker 1: because that's right, the AFC Championship, because you know that.

656
00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:57,880
Speaker 1: I mean, we had a better record than the Titans,

657
00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:00,880
Speaker 1: and we had a lead, so obviously when it didn't

658
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:02,280
Speaker 1: work out that way, I don't think I really even

659
00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:05,040
Speaker 1: watched that. It's funny because Monday mornings, Johnny and I

660
00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:07,479
Speaker 1: come in here and we do the show. We do

661
00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:11,640
Speaker 1: Texans Monday eight to ten am, and a few times,

662
00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:14,320
Speaker 1: I think three times, twenty four to nothing has come up,

663
00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:17,160
Speaker 1: like relatively earlier in this show, because you know it's

664
00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:19,080
Speaker 1: going to be a not good show, and that because

665
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:22,280
Speaker 1: clearly we can't get over it. We have not gotten

666
00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:26,560
Speaker 1: over nothing. And twenty four to nothing didn't last long.

667
00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:28,840
Speaker 1: I mean I think I only took maybe one or

668
00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:31,480
Speaker 1: two commercial breaks while it was maybe just one while

669
00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:34,040
Speaker 1: it was twenty four to nothing, And during that commercial break,

670
00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:38,040
Speaker 1: I thought, oh my gosh, oh my gosh, yeah, can

671
00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:40,760
Speaker 1: you hang on? This could happen. I knew one thing though,

672
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:42,640
Speaker 1: and I'll say this, and I didn't say this on

673
00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:45,280
Speaker 1: the air, but I knew they would have to score

674
00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:48,200
Speaker 1: forty or so, like thirty eight to forty points to

675
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:49,840
Speaker 1: win that we thought it would be possible. We put

676
00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:53,000
Speaker 1: up twenty four points so early. Yeah, you scored so quickly,

677
00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:55,080
Speaker 1: so early. But I knew that the Chiefs were gonna

678
00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:57,120
Speaker 1: make a run and it was gonna get ridiculous because

679
00:31:57,120 --> 00:31:59,719
Speaker 1: they're that good. That Chiefs team was awesome on offense,

680
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:02,120
Speaker 1: and there was no way you were going to keep

681
00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:05,160
Speaker 1: them down forever. Right, I think you helped them a

682
00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:09,200
Speaker 1: long fumble kick the punt where you went for it.

683
00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:12,360
Speaker 1: You faked the punt. Oh my god. I used to

684
00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:15,680
Speaker 1: love fake punts like that was one of my favorite plays.

685
00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:21,560
Speaker 1: But the field yeah, field position envisioning a fake punt,

686
00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:24,680
Speaker 1: but no, that was Yeah, that was not that long.

687
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:27,360
Speaker 1: I'll say this, I'll I will never fault him for

688
00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:29,640
Speaker 1: kicking the field goal to make it twenty four to

689
00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:32,800
Speaker 1: nothing and not going it going forward up fourth and short. Yeah,

690
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:35,560
Speaker 1: I don't know at the time, I get it. Yeah,

691
00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:37,720
Speaker 1: you go forward, make it twenty eight to nothing. Hey,

692
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:41,360
Speaker 1: the field goals, it's okay, But don't call a time

693
00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:45,080
Speaker 1: out before that to get the play or whatever it was,

694
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:49,520
Speaker 1: to decide what play to decide to kick the field goal.

695
00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:51,959
Speaker 1: Don't call that time out. That to me showed like,

696
00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:55,240
Speaker 1: oh oh, we're overthinking this and it's easy for me

697
00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:56,880
Speaker 1: to say. I mean, they did a heck of a

698
00:32:56,960 --> 00:33:02,000
Speaker 1: job that season, you know, getting you to that visional round. Everybody,

699
00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:04,560
Speaker 1: you know, put their best foot forward, and that comeback

700
00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:07,360
Speaker 1: against Buffalo the week before. But what a roller coaster

701
00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:10,480
Speaker 1: that even that even that year was such a roller coaster,

702
00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:13,720
Speaker 1: and even that Buffalo game, I just remember thinking, when

703
00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:16,560
Speaker 1: the Texans were down in the third quarter, like, is

704
00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:18,640
Speaker 1: that what's going to happen after this year? Is this

705
00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:21,400
Speaker 1: coaching staff gone? Because I don't think it, Like I

706
00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:25,240
Speaker 1: literally was having those thoughts, and then the Texans around

707
00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:26,600
Speaker 1: I was like, I can't believe. I was just thinking

708
00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:29,080
Speaker 1: that like five minutes as well, because the place was dead.

709
00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:31,000
Speaker 1: You were down sixteen to nothing. It was horrible. It

710
00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:33,280
Speaker 1: was a it was a home game. You were expected

711
00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:36,200
Speaker 1: to win that the year before you got shut out

712
00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:38,680
Speaker 1: on that shutout, But twenty one to seven, whatever it was,

713
00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:41,440
Speaker 1: in a playoff game at home, you were shut out.

714
00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:45,520
Speaker 1: So fifteen twenty eighteen you lose, well, twenty one to

715
00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:47,719
Speaker 1: seven I think was the final against the Colds and

716
00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:51,960
Speaker 1: there you are down sixteen nothing. So that's bad, right that. Look,

717
00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:56,280
Speaker 1: everybody wants to win in the playoffs, obviously, and you

718
00:33:56,360 --> 00:33:58,720
Speaker 1: got a credit coaches for getting you to the playoffs.

719
00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:01,800
Speaker 1: But if you fail like that at home on that

720
00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:06,520
Speaker 1: stage pattern, that is totally a red flag, you know,

721
00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:08,359
Speaker 1: and I don't want to get into what's what it's

722
00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:10,600
Speaker 1: a red flag. Four. But they came back and won

723
00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:13,040
Speaker 1: the game. But the very next week you saw what happened,

724
00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:14,960
Speaker 1: and then then it happened. It was just delayed, was

725
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:17,080
Speaker 1: delayed by a week. That year was a roller coaster

726
00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:19,520
Speaker 1: ride because you know, you lost the Saints on opening night.

727
00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:22,480
Speaker 1: You had two horrendous losses, one to Baltimore and one

728
00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:25,080
Speaker 1: to Denver where you were completely blown out of the building.

729
00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:28,280
Speaker 1: And Denver at home against Denver after beating the Patriots,

730
00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:30,480
Speaker 1: that was weird. But you did beat the Patriots, you

731
00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:32,319
Speaker 1: did beat the Chiefs at their place. You got some

732
00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:36,280
Speaker 1: really solid wins. Chargers in La got some solid wins

733
00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:39,479
Speaker 1: that year. And obviously the whole thing fell apart. So

734
00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:42,399
Speaker 1: why are we talking about I don't I don't know, Mark.

735
00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:44,800
Speaker 1: You know, what we should do is Texans story time,

736
00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:46,279
Speaker 1: and then you should end it like that like and

737
00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:49,040
Speaker 1: then it all fell apart. I got a few of

738
00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:52,640
Speaker 1: those awful story happier in an awful story that was.

739
00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:55,520
Speaker 1: I did promise some reasons for optimism. Oh. Yes, the

740
00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:57,279
Speaker 1: Texans are going to be back at home for three

741
00:34:57,360 --> 00:35:00,040
Speaker 1: games in a row after this Titans game, which it

742
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:01,800
Speaker 1: will be a welcome relief. It seems like the Texans

743
00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:03,959
Speaker 1: have been on the road of what this first half

744
00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:07,440
Speaker 1: of the season. But coming back from the Titans game, um,

745
00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:10,440
Speaker 1: three in a row at home. Wait, so we go

746
00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:14,040
Speaker 1: to Tennessee, but to Tennessee, then it's Jets, Colts, Seahawks,

747
00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:17,000
Speaker 1: and then you go back to Jacksonville in week fifteen. Okay,

748
00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:20,480
Speaker 1: that's pretty good. Jets, Colds, Seahawks. I'm not saying those

749
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:22,480
Speaker 1: are all gonna be I mean, I don't know who's

750
00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:25,120
Speaker 1: gonna be starting at quarterback for the Jets, but the

751
00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:27,640
Speaker 1: Colts are always tough. Seahawks I'm sure will be tough

752
00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:30,720
Speaker 1: because Russell Willson. It is in the realm of possibility

753
00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:33,719
Speaker 1: to win those games. I'm just here to tell you that.

754
00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:40,880
Speaker 1: At home. Yeah, but you can't make the mistakes, you

755
00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:44,160
Speaker 1: can't turn it over. Okay, got it? Uh, could you

756
00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:46,360
Speaker 1: get what Mills did against the Patriots If you have

757
00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:47,840
Speaker 1: to rot in the game, can you get to Rod

758
00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:51,680
Speaker 1: really hot again? You know, get him off this whatever

759
00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:55,239
Speaker 1: happened to him at Miami, which wasn't him. I get

760
00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:58,040
Speaker 1: losing or not playing as well as you can. He

761
00:35:58,120 --> 00:36:01,400
Speaker 1: didn't play well the offense and play well. It was

762
00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:04,680
Speaker 1: weird how tough it was for them to do anything

763
00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:07,520
Speaker 1: on offense. I do think that maybe a week off

764
00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:10,319
Speaker 1: to sort of reset Tyrod comes back. He didn't look

765
00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:11,719
Speaker 1: like himself. I agree with you, because I think the

766
00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:13,719
Speaker 1: one thing I remember about him was that he was

767
00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:15,839
Speaker 1: just always calm. He had so much poise. He had

768
00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:18,600
Speaker 1: a lot of patience, and that was lacking. And maybe

769
00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:21,000
Speaker 1: and he said the hamstring was fine, which I do

770
00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:23,359
Speaker 1: think it was. The hamstring was fine. I just think

771
00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:25,000
Speaker 1: it was I don't know. Maybe he was just out

772
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:27,800
Speaker 1: of rhythm. Maybe it was the old line was completely different,

773
00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:30,359
Speaker 1: so he maybe he had a little less time than

774
00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:32,360
Speaker 1: what he was. Hard to have patience when they're steam

775
00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:34,680
Speaker 1: rolling them their way into the backfield. I think that's

776
00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:37,080
Speaker 1: another maybe one hit and then you get a little ansie.

777
00:36:37,120 --> 00:36:38,439
Speaker 1: You think I gotta get rid of it a little

778
00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:41,920
Speaker 1: bit sooner. Maybe. Look, I can't blame it all on him.

779
00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:45,920
Speaker 1: I'm just only Carush was relentless and they blitzed a

780
00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:48,799
Speaker 1: lot and the Texans didn't handle it well. So you're right,

781
00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:51,480
Speaker 1: maybe another week of practice does something. But I've been

782
00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:53,839
Speaker 1: saying that for a few weeks now, so let's hope

783
00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:56,759
Speaker 1: that this is the time it happened. You know, when

784
00:36:56,800 --> 00:36:58,719
Speaker 1: they say the bye week comes at a really good time,

785
00:36:59,239 --> 00:37:03,000
Speaker 1: that's all. That's kind of always the case. But I

786
00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:05,799
Speaker 1: do think that let him have the game and then

787
00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:07,400
Speaker 1: let him think about it for a week or so

788
00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:09,520
Speaker 1: and sort of get his mind right. I'd rather have

789
00:37:09,600 --> 00:37:12,960
Speaker 1: won the game. Well, I am trying to find silver lining.

790
00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:14,840
Speaker 1: You're right, because to win a game and going the

791
00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:19,160
Speaker 1: buys best feeling it twice. It's like the win. You

792
00:37:19,160 --> 00:37:21,240
Speaker 1: get to enjoy the win for the worst is winning

793
00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:23,399
Speaker 1: like a Sunday. Then you got to turn aund play

794
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:25,080
Speaker 1: a Thursday game because you don't even need to enjoy

795
00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:26,439
Speaker 1: it for the whole week. But to get to enjoy

796
00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:28,719
Speaker 1: a win for two weeks, it's really nice. But you

797
00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:30,799
Speaker 1: know what, we don't have the luxury of that, so

798
00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:33,880
Speaker 1: we just reset head in for the second half of

799
00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:36,080
Speaker 1: the season because it is half over, which this seems

800
00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:38,279
Speaker 1: like a really long season because I don't remember us

801
00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:40,959
Speaker 1: ever having a bye week in. Week ten usually comes

802
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:44,520
Speaker 1: earlier I've been with the team. It's been week seven, eight,

803
00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:48,920
Speaker 1: maybe nine. What was Jacksonville? It was pretty late, but

804
00:37:49,040 --> 00:37:52,160
Speaker 1: not this late. That was London, London, it was around.

805
00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:54,239
Speaker 1: We always have had our bye week around the mid

806
00:37:54,280 --> 00:37:56,520
Speaker 1: season mark. Maybe eight, maybe it was nine of the latest.

807
00:37:56,520 --> 00:37:58,839
Speaker 1: I don't remember ever it being ten since I've been here.

808
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:01,120
Speaker 1: But anyway, let's take a can we come back? We'll

825
00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:10,520
Speaker 1: So the latest on the Aaron Rodger situation is that

826
00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:13,839
Speaker 1: he apologizes sort of. This is how my kids would

827
00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:17,120
Speaker 1: apologize if they're apologizing for something. I'm sorry, but he said,

828
00:39:17,120 --> 00:39:20,120
Speaker 1: I made some comments that people might have felt were misleading,

829
00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:23,440
Speaker 1: and to anybody who felt misled by those comments, I

830
00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:27,560
Speaker 1: take full responsibility for those comments. Rogers said. So he

831
00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:30,759
Speaker 1: did apologize, but only were people that felt misled by

832
00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:35,680
Speaker 1: the comments. Look, you know what weighing in better than nothing? Well, well,

833
00:39:35,719 --> 00:39:39,960
Speaker 1: here's the thing. He was misleading. He was intentionally misleading,

834
00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:43,680
Speaker 1: and that's that anybody felt like they were misled. Yeah,

835
00:39:43,719 --> 00:39:46,440
Speaker 1: we were all misled because you were misleading. He was

836
00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:52,640
Speaker 1: trying to It was intentional misleading. Okay, right, so that's

837
00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:55,480
Speaker 1: what happened. If he doesn't want to get vaxed, fine,

838
00:39:55,680 --> 00:39:58,000
Speaker 1: that's his personal decision, and then you have to live

839
00:39:58,040 --> 00:40:00,560
Speaker 1: with whatever the protocols are of an unvacid next person,

840
00:40:00,719 --> 00:40:03,480
Speaker 1: and we go from there. What we'll never know is

841
00:40:03,680 --> 00:40:07,080
Speaker 1: if he was vaxed, would he have gotten COVID? Right?

842
00:40:07,120 --> 00:40:09,520
Speaker 1: Because you can still obviously don't get it. I think

843
00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:13,400
Speaker 1: a lot of people get or test positive, right, I

844
00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:14,960
Speaker 1: think a lot of people. And this is you know,

845
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:16,640
Speaker 1: I don't want to make it a huge COVID talk,

846
00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:19,799
Speaker 1: but a lot of people walk the earth who are vaccinated,

847
00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:23,479
Speaker 1: get COVID, don't even know they have it. COVID leaves them,

848
00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:27,320
Speaker 1: They breeze through the whole thing, maybe because they're vaxed.

849
00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:31,799
Speaker 1: No symptoms appear, but they had COVID. Are they contagious?

850
00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:34,719
Speaker 1: I am told yes they are. Now I'm not I'm

851
00:40:34,760 --> 00:40:36,960
Speaker 1: not pointing the finger, because how are you supposed to

852
00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:39,840
Speaker 1: know the average person? What are supposed to get tested

853
00:40:39,880 --> 00:40:43,200
Speaker 1: once a week? Now, maybe that's the solution in this society.

854
00:40:43,600 --> 00:40:46,160
Speaker 1: But then you start thinking, well, why take the vaccine.

855
00:40:46,280 --> 00:40:48,120
Speaker 1: Let me take the vaccine so you don't get so sick.

856
00:40:48,680 --> 00:40:51,439
Speaker 1: To me, it's a personal choice. I've been vaxed, you've

857
00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:53,840
Speaker 1: been vaxed. You know. We basically had to get vaxed

858
00:40:53,840 --> 00:40:57,120
Speaker 1: to do this job, you know, otherwise I didn't want

859
00:40:57,120 --> 00:41:00,600
Speaker 1: to get tested every single day. Would you have to

860
00:41:00,600 --> 00:41:03,560
Speaker 1: do right, Yeah, I mean you can, you cannot be vaxed,

861
00:41:03,600 --> 00:41:07,080
Speaker 1: but then you it's a lot more testing, and I

862
00:41:07,120 --> 00:41:10,000
Speaker 1: just wear the mask everywhere, wear the mask everywhere all

863
00:41:10,040 --> 00:41:12,920
Speaker 1: the time. So I mean, yeah, there is a trade off.

864
00:41:13,120 --> 00:41:14,239
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people are like, well, so

865
00:41:14,239 --> 00:41:15,600
Speaker 1: what if he didn't get back. It's not a big

866
00:41:15,640 --> 00:41:18,000
Speaker 1: deal if you didn't get faxed. The problem is though,

867
00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:20,120
Speaker 1: once you test positive, he has to be out for

868
00:41:20,160 --> 00:41:23,360
Speaker 1: ten days, as opposed to just getting two negative tests

869
00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:25,680
Speaker 1: within twenty four hours apart, then he could have been back.

870
00:41:26,160 --> 00:41:30,080
Speaker 1: So what the problem that I think everyone is having

871
00:41:30,080 --> 00:41:32,600
Speaker 1: with Aaron Rodgers is the not not being vaxed, is

872
00:41:32,600 --> 00:41:36,160
Speaker 1: the fact that him missing ten days is huge for

873
00:41:36,280 --> 00:41:38,399
Speaker 1: seam in ten days is the minimum? Well, one win

874
00:41:38,440 --> 00:41:40,920
Speaker 1: could mean home field advantage or not. Yeah, they were

875
00:41:41,360 --> 00:41:43,880
Speaker 1: that may be already gone. They only had one loss.

876
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:46,959
Speaker 1: They beat the Cards right on the road. They beat

877
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:51,439
Speaker 1: the Cards. Well, that was a hard earned, very important win.

878
00:41:52,080 --> 00:41:55,000
Speaker 1: This loss could possibly down the line to gate that

879
00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:57,920
Speaker 1: win for them if they end up a game behind

880
00:41:58,120 --> 00:42:00,480
Speaker 1: the Card and there's only one team with the by

881
00:42:00,520 --> 00:42:02,960
Speaker 1: this time this year with these new with the new

882
00:42:03,120 --> 00:42:05,440
Speaker 1: added schedules, so it's even hard it's even harder to

883
00:42:05,440 --> 00:42:07,719
Speaker 1: get that first round by which they were in the

884
00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:09,319
Speaker 1: running four and they may not have it. And what

885
00:42:09,320 --> 00:42:12,319
Speaker 1: does it mean to play a championship game at Lambeau? Right,

886
00:42:12,600 --> 00:42:15,440
Speaker 1: if you're able to host the NFC Championship at Lambo. Look,

887
00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:16,960
Speaker 1: I know a lot of things have to happen, but

888
00:42:17,640 --> 00:42:21,640
Speaker 1: every win for everybody's crucial. But especially for a team

889
00:42:21,680 --> 00:42:24,320
Speaker 1: that's going for that number one slot in a conference

890
00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:27,239
Speaker 1: like they are, that's really too bad. But you know

891
00:42:27,480 --> 00:42:29,680
Speaker 1: they'll try to get through it. He's an amazing quarterback.

892
00:42:29,880 --> 00:42:32,479
Speaker 1: And I think people will not forget about this because

893
00:42:32,560 --> 00:42:34,960
Speaker 1: it'll always be brought up, especially if they're a game

894
00:42:35,040 --> 00:42:38,279
Speaker 1: short of something like that. But you know people are

895
00:42:38,280 --> 00:42:40,840
Speaker 1: gonna enjoy watching Aaron Rodgers play football. I mean I do.

896
00:42:40,880 --> 00:42:42,719
Speaker 1: I do think it's better when the Packers are good

897
00:42:42,719 --> 00:42:45,240
Speaker 1: and the Cowboys are well. I don't care about the Cowboys.

898
00:42:45,320 --> 00:42:50,040
Speaker 1: When the Packers are good, we love watching the good

899
00:42:50,200 --> 00:42:52,200
Speaker 1: because Aaron Rodgers. How many more years does he have

900
00:42:52,320 --> 00:42:54,040
Speaker 1: left to play? I mean maybe it's not a lot,

901
00:42:54,080 --> 00:42:55,879
Speaker 1: so you do want to see It's nice to see

902
00:42:55,920 --> 00:42:58,680
Speaker 1: those elite quarterbacks get to that next level, all right. Also,

903
00:42:58,840 --> 00:43:01,359
Speaker 1: three of Cleveland's four running backs on the fifty three

904
00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:04,360
Speaker 1: man roster have to now tested positive for COVID in

905
00:43:04,400 --> 00:43:07,000
Speaker 1: the last two days. John Kelly was placed on the

906
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:09,880
Speaker 1: reserve COVID list on Monday, and today Nick Chubb and

907
00:43:09,960 --> 00:43:14,439
Speaker 1: demetric Demitric Belton both tested positive for COVID. Now they

908
00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:18,040
Speaker 1: could play on Sunday if they get the two negative

909
00:43:18,040 --> 00:43:21,000
Speaker 1: tests separated by twenty four hours because they are vaccinated.

910
00:43:21,040 --> 00:43:23,480
Speaker 1: See the advantage of being vaccinated, Like you get super

911
00:43:23,680 --> 00:43:26,400
Speaker 1: you you test positive today, you could still play in

912
00:43:26,440 --> 00:43:29,400
Speaker 1: Sunday's game, which would be huge. Now the Browns have

913
00:43:29,480 --> 00:43:32,640
Speaker 1: Dernas Johnson on the roster and Kareem Hunt. He's eligible

914
00:43:32,640 --> 00:43:34,759
Speaker 1: to return off IR as early as this week, so

915
00:43:34,840 --> 00:43:37,880
Speaker 1: they do have some options. But man, you talk about

916
00:43:37,719 --> 00:43:40,880
Speaker 1: a position group that's just been slammed by COVID and

917
00:43:40,960 --> 00:43:43,360
Speaker 1: they need those guys back. I mean, everybody needs their backs,

918
00:43:43,400 --> 00:43:46,520
Speaker 1: but Cleveland really does. But to have like a big

919
00:43:46,640 --> 00:43:49,040
Speaker 1: chunk of four of them, they're all in the meeting

920
00:43:49,120 --> 00:43:51,960
Speaker 1: room together and it spreads right right right, So I

921
00:43:52,080 --> 00:43:53,960
Speaker 1: got to be careful. You've got to be careful. But

922
00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:56,720
Speaker 1: you know what, they could be back as early as Sunday,

923
00:43:56,760 --> 00:43:58,120
Speaker 1: and you know, I think it's been kind of nice

924
00:43:58,160 --> 00:44:01,160
Speaker 1: this year, not hearing all the big bid Like would

925
00:44:01,200 --> 00:44:03,360
Speaker 1: you remember the Titans last year when their entire facility

926
00:44:03,440 --> 00:44:05,200
Speaker 1: was shut out for two weeks and then all the

927
00:44:05,280 --> 00:44:08,480
Speaker 1: rescheduling the mess that doesn't it feel like there are

928
00:44:08,520 --> 00:44:11,680
Speaker 1: more positives this year, but fewer waves like that that

929
00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:14,319
Speaker 1: wipe out a game or obviously we haven't seen moving

930
00:44:14,360 --> 00:44:17,799
Speaker 1: schedules around. Yeah, it's I knew there'd be a lot

931
00:44:17,880 --> 00:44:21,200
Speaker 1: because if you're vaccinated, you could do anything virtually, and

932
00:44:21,360 --> 00:44:24,480
Speaker 1: doing anything exposes you to the virus. Right, Yeah, But

933
00:44:24,560 --> 00:44:26,520
Speaker 1: you know, I think when before the season started, you

934
00:44:26,560 --> 00:44:28,320
Speaker 1: and I we would have been talking on this show

935
00:44:28,360 --> 00:44:31,799
Speaker 1: that maybe there will be even more widespread COVID because

936
00:44:31,800 --> 00:44:34,120
Speaker 1: people are out and about. Yeah, things are opening up.

937
00:44:34,280 --> 00:44:36,880
Speaker 1: There's fans in the stands, there's people at the games.

938
00:44:36,920 --> 00:44:40,840
Speaker 1: You're in crowded spaces again. But surprisingly it's it's been

939
00:44:40,920 --> 00:44:43,560
Speaker 1: pretty quiet. Other than a few cases here, it's it's

940
00:44:43,560 --> 00:44:46,839
Speaker 1: been positives. You know, there's there's positives here and there,

941
00:44:46,920 --> 00:44:49,239
Speaker 1: but nothing that's been like Denver having to play the

942
00:44:49,280 --> 00:44:51,520
Speaker 1: game without a quarterback last year. We haven't had that

943
00:44:51,600 --> 00:44:53,560
Speaker 1: kind of thing. All Right, Well, that's going to do
