1 00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:03,280 Speaker 1: Let's each other. Let's know the game is that the 2 00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:11,280 Speaker 1: end Sean Row's right side. Whenever Hos touchdown, here's game 3 00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:15,200 Speaker 1: D's every day goes to the Animals five nights a week. 4 00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:20,800 Speaker 1: They hits keep on coming. He's got it. How about 5 00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:27,000 Speaker 1: ten no From inside NRG Stadium, a Texans all exits. 6 00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:32,000 Speaker 1: It is Mark Vandermair, John Harris with you live in 7 00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:34,519 Speaker 1: the Hunday Texans radio studio across the hall from the 8 00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:37,240 Speaker 1: locker room. And a busy, busy day here at NRG Stadium, 9 00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:39,640 Speaker 1: as you can imagine, as the team is getting down 10 00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:42,080 Speaker 1: to fifty three people on the roster by tomorrow afternoon, 11 00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:45,440 Speaker 1: and then who knows what happens. And Johnny, here we go. 12 00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:49,279 Speaker 1: Preseason done last night in the Bucks twenty two to ten, 13 00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:51,879 Speaker 1: losing to the Rams. I had to think about who 14 00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:54,480 Speaker 1: they play again. Yeah, the a team that was wearing 15 00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:58,400 Speaker 1: Rams uniforms. And the preseason is so different now. I 16 00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:00,280 Speaker 1: wrote about this, by the way in Houston Texas dot 17 00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:06,120 Speaker 1: Com that okay, it's different, And to the coaches, they 18 00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:10,200 Speaker 1: feel like, look, we've seen our team. Our team played, 19 00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:14,840 Speaker 1: didn't play. Our team practiced live against the Green Bay 20 00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:18,240 Speaker 1: Packers two days and against the Detroit Lions two days 21 00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:22,240 Speaker 1: and that's what they're going by. They're not going by 22 00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:25,000 Speaker 1: three bad snaps at Dallas. They had three bad snaps 23 00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,800 Speaker 1: at Dallas and they were really bad yea. And for 24 00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:31,240 Speaker 1: the offense, and that's it. That's all they got in Dallas. 25 00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:33,280 Speaker 1: The offense got three snaps in Dallas and they were 26 00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:36,160 Speaker 1: not good snaps. They turned the ball over, Lamar Miller 27 00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:38,120 Speaker 1: got hurt, and they said, you know what, We're good. 28 00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:40,319 Speaker 1: That's it. That's all we've seen from our starting offense. 29 00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:42,880 Speaker 1: We saw them against the Lions and the Packers, and 30 00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:46,480 Speaker 1: we're gonna piece together whatever we put together for the 31 00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:49,800 Speaker 1: Saints based on what we saw there and the other practices. 32 00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:51,720 Speaker 1: And of course they're gonna take what happened against the 33 00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:55,680 Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys and those three snaps into consideration. But that's it. 34 00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:58,000 Speaker 1: I mean, it's part of an entire body of work 35 00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:02,280 Speaker 1: of the whole offseason, not just that one little moment, 36 00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:05,000 Speaker 1: as bad as it was, being an indictment on whatever 37 00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:07,160 Speaker 1: work they've been able to put together so far. So 38 00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:11,040 Speaker 1: I'll ask you this, yeah after, because because the way 39 00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:13,839 Speaker 1: that I felt last night after the game was over, 40 00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:18,320 Speaker 1: I felt like you know what that I love the games. 41 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:21,639 Speaker 1: I loved the opportunity to do the games. I love 42 00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:24,000 Speaker 1: all of that. I love being in the booth last night, 43 00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:28,280 Speaker 1: But I was like, man, is two enough? Because I 44 00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:30,639 Speaker 1: kind of felt like the last couple of weeks, I 45 00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:34,080 Speaker 1: was like, man, we're draging a little bit of all 46 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:36,360 Speaker 1: the years when time I started covering team in two 47 00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:38,440 Speaker 1: thousand and seven, from time I've been into building in 48 00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:41,400 Speaker 1: twenty fourteen until now. This was the one that felt 49 00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:43,960 Speaker 1: the longest the last couple of weeks because the starters 50 00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:46,519 Speaker 1: played the least. Yeah, I saw that. I think PFT 51 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,160 Speaker 1: tweeted out, but maybe they got it from somewhere that 52 00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:53,040 Speaker 1: most starting quarterbacks played less than thirty snaps in the 53 00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 1: entire preseason. He got fourteen snaps, fourteen snaps, eleven play 54 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:04,200 Speaker 1: seventy five yard driving three now fourteen game snaps. Now, 55 00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:08,560 Speaker 1: how many snaps did he get against Detroit into practices? 56 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:12,400 Speaker 1: How many against Green May into practices? But that's what 57 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,680 Speaker 1: matters to the coaches, That's the tape they're looking at 58 00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:18,080 Speaker 1: more than anything. Right. Of course, they don't want what 59 00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:22,359 Speaker 1: happened against Dallas to happen again, but that's not all 60 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:24,359 Speaker 1: they saw. They saw a bunch of other stuff. And 61 00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:27,120 Speaker 1: I know it's hard for the fans to accept that 62 00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:29,880 Speaker 1: because most fans didn't see what they did against the 63 00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:33,000 Speaker 1: Lions and the Packers. So there was some open open practices, 64 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:34,920 Speaker 1: but come on, there are a couple of thousand people there, 65 00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:37,880 Speaker 1: a few thousand, whatever the case is. So that's what 66 00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:41,040 Speaker 1: they're going by. And the preseason games are different. I 67 00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:44,840 Speaker 1: agree with you because what we saw is in the 68 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,840 Speaker 1: old in the old days ten to twenty years ago, 69 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:50,600 Speaker 1: even that third preseason game with starters coming out of 70 00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:53,120 Speaker 1: the locker room to play in the third quarter, right, 71 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:55,800 Speaker 1: you don't get that anymore. Now. It feels like all 72 00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:58,560 Speaker 1: four games feel like the fourth preseason game or have 73 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,920 Speaker 1: large elements of the fourth preseason games. So you're not 74 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,560 Speaker 1: getting what you used to get. So it's a very 75 00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:07,560 Speaker 1: different product. And you look, I'm not breaking any news here. 76 00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:10,320 Speaker 1: You've read the reports how these discussions are going on 77 00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 1: with the CBA, and what do you do about the preseason? 78 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:14,200 Speaker 1: What do you do about the regular season? What do 79 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:16,960 Speaker 1: you do about extra revenue? Is there going to be 80 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,800 Speaker 1: an additional playoff game to overcome the loss of a 81 00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:22,080 Speaker 1: preseason game or two If that's what it comes to. 82 00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:24,320 Speaker 1: There are a lot of different things to consider here, 83 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:26,520 Speaker 1: and I gotta feel like something's gonna happen as a 84 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,400 Speaker 1: result of it. But this is what we have, and 85 00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:31,680 Speaker 1: I think the most important thing right now is it's 86 00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:34,479 Speaker 1: over and the regular season is about to start. Here's 87 00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:37,880 Speaker 1: here's my preseason proposal. I just came to me. You 88 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:40,120 Speaker 1: got a proposal. I got a proposal. Here's here's what 89 00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:44,600 Speaker 1: we do. You open the same You open three weeks 90 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:48,800 Speaker 1: from your opener, okay, but you play two games in 91 00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:51,800 Speaker 1: that third week. You get your joint practices in. Now, 92 00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:54,479 Speaker 1: if you don't want joint practices, that's on you. That's 93 00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:56,560 Speaker 1: on you, Aaron Rodgers. If you don't want joint practices, 94 00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:00,599 Speaker 1: but you spend what would be that first you know, 95 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,240 Speaker 1: the week that we went to Green Bay. You get 96 00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:05,800 Speaker 1: your joint practices in, but you don't don't play a game. 97 00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:08,039 Speaker 1: You just get your joint practice in. Somehow, maybe you 98 00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:10,640 Speaker 1: practice three times instead of twice, but you get your 99 00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:14,120 Speaker 1: joint practices in. Then your first preseason game is the 100 00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:17,360 Speaker 1: following week, your second preseason game the week after that. 101 00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:21,160 Speaker 1: Then we're ready to play the regular season. The following 102 00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:22,760 Speaker 1: Sunday or Thursday or whatever you want to do. You 103 00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:25,120 Speaker 1: know what, I can't remember we could joint practice two 104 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:28,400 Speaker 1: preseason games. The year that the Dolphins were here. Geez, 105 00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:30,240 Speaker 1: what year was it? It was early on, it was like, 106 00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:32,919 Speaker 1: oh four oh five. The Dolphins were here for a 107 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,840 Speaker 1: scrimmage and they opened the stadium. They did it at 108 00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:37,480 Speaker 1: the stadium, We did it on the air. It was 109 00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:40,680 Speaker 1: an actual scrimmage and I don't remember at the quarterbacks 110 00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:43,880 Speaker 1: wore red jerseys and it was a no hit situation. 111 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:47,039 Speaker 1: Jason Taylor was still a part of the Dolphins and 112 00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:50,440 Speaker 1: he did some things in that scrimmage. I remember, yeah, 113 00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:53,960 Speaker 1: Za Thomas, Zach Thomas was there as well in Texas Tech. 114 00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:58,880 Speaker 1: But there was an actual scrimmage inside the stadium with 115 00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:01,279 Speaker 1: the Miami Dolphins. That was not a preseason game. But 116 00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:03,280 Speaker 1: we did the game on the air. And I think 117 00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:06,400 Speaker 1: remember Bill O'Brien, what did he say on Monday? What 118 00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:10,480 Speaker 1: if you had joint practices and you put one on 119 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:13,480 Speaker 1: one matchups on television you did you did them on 120 00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:16,919 Speaker 1: television somehow, and you did them on the radio. Would 121 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:19,160 Speaker 1: that suffice? Now? I don't know if you get charge 122 00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:22,400 Speaker 1: admission for that it's the same kind of admission anyway. 123 00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:24,599 Speaker 1: I think people would give you a little something. Yeah, 124 00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:26,840 Speaker 1: I know it would be good TV, so the TV 125 00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:29,080 Speaker 1: sponsors would give you something. So I mean, I know 126 00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:32,040 Speaker 1: this is like Darren Ravelle business talk here on sports, 127 00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:35,359 Speaker 1: but there is something to consider here because they have 128 00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:37,560 Speaker 1: to figure it out. Roger Goodell has been saying for 129 00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:39,520 Speaker 1: years they have to do something about the preseason, and 130 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:42,040 Speaker 1: I think that the coaches, they're not rebelling against it, 131 00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:45,000 Speaker 1: but they figure out a way around playing their starters 132 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,840 Speaker 1: for extended snaps in these exactly right, that's exactly what 133 00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:50,920 Speaker 1: they've done. And I think Sean McVay, I think it 134 00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:54,280 Speaker 1: was sort of before McVeigh it started happening. I mean 135 00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:56,400 Speaker 1: we've seen it with Bill. I remember the first year, 136 00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:57,839 Speaker 1: people are like, wholl you know, game three, we're gonna 137 00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:00,719 Speaker 1: see them started for a certain amount of time. I'm like, look, 138 00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:03,400 Speaker 1: we're not looking at preseason the same way anymore. And 139 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:06,080 Speaker 1: I'm just talking about the Texans. I'm talking across the board. 140 00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:09,160 Speaker 1: But McVey just said last year, he's like, I got 141 00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:11,160 Speaker 1: Jared Goff, I got all these receivers, and I got 142 00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:15,920 Speaker 1: Girly Aaron Donald. Forget it. I'm not playing any of them. Yeah, 143 00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:18,480 Speaker 1: you guys go just get ready for the season. That's 144 00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:21,960 Speaker 1: all I need. They had joint practices, Aaron Donald practiced 145 00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:24,520 Speaker 1: against the Raiders, got in a fight with one of 146 00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:27,880 Speaker 1: the Raiders offensive linemen. So so he's seasoned ready. Yeah, 147 00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:30,520 Speaker 1: he got his he got his work in. Yeah, so 148 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:33,040 Speaker 1: he just didn't do it in a situation in which 149 00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:36,280 Speaker 1: and and there in lies the rub for your your 150 00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:39,440 Speaker 1: starters or I don't know, I go, I call bona fides, 151 00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:45,440 Speaker 1: like your bona fide superstars. Deshan got fourteen plays? Yeah, 152 00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:52,119 Speaker 1: JJ got what eight? Maybe eight is a game worth 153 00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:54,960 Speaker 1: that risk because you look at the reps you get 154 00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:59,880 Speaker 1: in controlled practice situations. Those reps are hugely valuable, and 155 00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:03,320 Speaker 1: you put ones on once you get J. J. Watt 156 00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:05,920 Speaker 1: against Taylor and the quarterbacks not getting killed. That's the 157 00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:08,040 Speaker 1: big thing. I mean, let's let's be honest here. It 158 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:12,040 Speaker 1: was devastating to lose Lamar Miller. However, you didn't lose 159 00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:14,640 Speaker 1: de Shaun Watson. And if you had to rank Texans 160 00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:17,600 Speaker 1: players in order, which we won't do right now, in 161 00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:20,640 Speaker 1: order of ones, you cannot afford to lose Lamar Miller. 162 00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:22,760 Speaker 1: Is somewhere pretty high on that list. You didn't want 163 00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:24,400 Speaker 1: to lose Lamar Miller, so they have to figure out 164 00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:27,840 Speaker 1: a way around him. However, and I think you know 165 00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:29,480 Speaker 1: they have time to figure this out. It's not like 166 00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:31,960 Speaker 1: it happened that morning and we're playing in two hours 167 00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:33,199 Speaker 1: and what are we going to do in the backfield. 168 00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:35,200 Speaker 1: You know, they have some time to do some things. 169 00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:37,280 Speaker 1: As as good as Lamar is, they'll they'll have to 170 00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:41,520 Speaker 1: figure that out. But you risking the injury. I get 171 00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:44,439 Speaker 1: it from the coaches standpoint. And here's another thing to 172 00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:46,600 Speaker 1: coaches know. They know how many snaps they got against 173 00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:48,240 Speaker 1: the Lions, they know how many snaps they got against 174 00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:50,640 Speaker 1: the Packers in those joint practices. They have all that 175 00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:54,680 Speaker 1: tape they've they are bathing in that tape and they're 176 00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:57,160 Speaker 1: bathing in other tape as well, so they feel like 177 00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:59,199 Speaker 1: they got enough to get ready. As a fan, you 178 00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:01,560 Speaker 1: might feel like, what am I gonna see here? I 179 00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:04,079 Speaker 1: don't know what I'm gonna see with this offense? Guess 180 00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:07,680 Speaker 1: what they like that not from this fan standpoint, they'd 181 00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:10,360 Speaker 1: love to share everything with you. But however, I mean, however, 182 00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:12,160 Speaker 1: if they share it with you, you're going to share 183 00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:14,040 Speaker 1: it with the Saints, and they don't want to do that. 184 00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:16,400 Speaker 1: Guess what they're gonna They have ten days to get 185 00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:19,480 Speaker 1: ready from here, and they've already started preparation for the Saints. 186 00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:21,320 Speaker 1: Ten days to get ready from here. They will not 187 00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:24,760 Speaker 1: practice in front of anybody else but themselves for the 188 00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:26,600 Speaker 1: next week and a half, well for the whole rest 189 00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:28,040 Speaker 1: of the year. Yeah, for the whole rest of the year. 190 00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:29,400 Speaker 1: But I'm just talking about opening. But you know, I 191 00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:31,840 Speaker 1: understand what you're saying, that they're gonna unveil something. And 192 00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,120 Speaker 1: I'm not saying they're gonna wishbone here, but they're gonna 193 00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:37,679 Speaker 1: unveil something and no one will have seen it, including 194 00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:40,880 Speaker 1: the New Orleans Saints most importantly. And it's gonna be 195 00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:42,640 Speaker 1: and the starting five of the old line. Guess what. 196 00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:45,679 Speaker 1: It's speculation fest for the next week. And people are 197 00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:48,120 Speaker 1: gonna be asking about injuries. They're gonna gets what the 198 00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:51,840 Speaker 1: injury report's gonna say for the entire a lotment of 199 00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:57,480 Speaker 1: humanity next week. Everybody's probable, no, questionable, Questionable, Yeah, questionable, everybody, 200 00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:00,480 Speaker 1: We're all questionable. But Tom Brady's been quite sitable for 201 00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:05,840 Speaker 1: fifteen years. Yeah, yes, he's been on there with some 202 00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:08,040 Speaker 1: ankle or tow or whatever it is. And now he's 203 00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:11,040 Speaker 1: eighty five years old and he's still beating everybody. You 204 00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:13,400 Speaker 1: know the thing about and I thinking back to the 205 00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:16,320 Speaker 1: preseason games, one of the reasons why the Rams sort 206 00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:19,079 Speaker 1: of get away with not playing those guys is because 207 00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:21,640 Speaker 1: those guys their veterans. Even a guy like Goff who's 208 00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:24,559 Speaker 1: now sixteen seventy eighteen nineteen, was at four years, he's 209 00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:26,880 Speaker 1: his fourth year. They know the system. They don't need 210 00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:29,440 Speaker 1: to trot out their system and try it out against 211 00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:33,360 Speaker 1: you know, maybe some ones, maybe some twos. It's just 212 00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:36,520 Speaker 1: like with DeShawn, he's now in his third year. He's 213 00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:38,599 Speaker 1: got he's got a connection with Hop, he's got a 214 00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:41,080 Speaker 1: connection with Fuller, and you can practice that against the 215 00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:44,280 Speaker 1: lines and packers and joint practices. I just think that's 216 00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:46,520 Speaker 1: that's the way that that we're gonna end up going 217 00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:49,000 Speaker 1: in at some point. What the preseason is, here's some 218 00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:52,400 Speaker 1: joint practices, here's one home game, here's one road game, 219 00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:54,960 Speaker 1: and we're gonna kick the season off a week before 220 00:10:55,360 --> 00:11:00,280 Speaker 1: college football does. Yeah. Oh oh, is that your idea? Yeah, 221 00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:02,960 Speaker 1: that's my idea. Wait, so last week when the Hurricanes 222 00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:06,720 Speaker 1: played Florida. So you play the week before Labor Day. 223 00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:10,120 Speaker 1: So you play that Thursday night. You let Miami Florida. 224 00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:13,559 Speaker 1: Miami and Florida have that game. Zero week, you get 225 00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:17,480 Speaker 1: Saturday night as you always do, and you play on Sunday. 226 00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:20,720 Speaker 1: Play you play Thursday. Then you turn around, you do 227 00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:23,760 Speaker 1: your normal schedule. What you play a week earlier, and 228 00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:28,679 Speaker 1: which precipitates the idea of putting in another game and playoffs. 229 00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:31,000 Speaker 1: We're just we're gonna just change the whole change the 230 00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:37,440 Speaker 1: whole thing. We could joy practices, two preseason games, eighteen games, 231 00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:39,520 Speaker 1: or go with Oh and by the way, I finished, 232 00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:42,400 Speaker 1: I finished on the plane to Dallas. What I finished 233 00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:46,880 Speaker 1: my my my goal, my task, which was come up 234 00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:49,600 Speaker 1: with two more games that you play every single year 235 00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:53,200 Speaker 1: against the same opponent in the opposite conference, in the 236 00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:55,679 Speaker 1: opposite conference, that you play every year. But we got 237 00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:58,280 Speaker 1: a suggest him from a listener, which was kind of interesting. 238 00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,160 Speaker 1: Why does it have to be the opposite conference. What 239 00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:04,360 Speaker 1: if there's an AFC rival that you don't get to 240 00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:08,240 Speaker 1: play every year, but maybe you should get to play 241 00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:10,120 Speaker 1: every year And then I know sometimes you're gonna play 242 00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:12,280 Speaker 1: their division. But you worked it out another way. Then 243 00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:15,199 Speaker 1: you get another subopponent. Now that will drive the schedulemakers 244 00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:19,160 Speaker 1: crazy because you can have all these different cascading loopholes 245 00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:21,880 Speaker 1: following that. But for the Texans, let's just say it 246 00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:25,400 Speaker 1: was the Chiefs or whoever would be that rival that 247 00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:27,360 Speaker 1: you'd play every year in the AFC. But anyway, I 248 00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:29,040 Speaker 1: didn't want to ruin it for you, So NFC you 249 00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:31,840 Speaker 1: got you got somebody for everybody. I got somebody for everybody. 250 00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:34,240 Speaker 1: Solved the problem I solved because when you were doing 251 00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:36,599 Speaker 1: it before, I think you had the Eagles you have 252 00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:39,319 Speaker 1: with three different opponents, so that doesn't count. I was 253 00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:41,840 Speaker 1: doing it from my head. I mean all these PREMI takes. 254 00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:44,000 Speaker 1: Un Like my fifty three man roster, I have seventy 255 00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:46,160 Speaker 1: five people on it. I'm like Dick Vitel trying to 256 00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:50,760 Speaker 1: pick the NCAA tournament. I didn't put any quarterbacks the 257 00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:55,240 Speaker 1: roster he's on. Listen, coach Vitel, you cannot have seventy 258 00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:57,679 Speaker 1: five players on a fifty three man roster. But he's 259 00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:00,600 Speaker 1: wicked awesome. He's a diaper daddy. He's how to make it. 260 00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:04,400 Speaker 1: He's on the practice squad at least, all right, He's 261 00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:07,720 Speaker 1: no but but I figured it out. But uh yeah, 262 00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:09,439 Speaker 1: But the obviously the big news is getting out of 263 00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:13,200 Speaker 1: fifty three man roster. Now, the deadline to get to 264 00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:17,680 Speaker 1: your fifty three man roster is tomorrow at three o'clock. 265 00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:21,280 Speaker 1: Now it's weird is every year that we've done this right, 266 00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:24,520 Speaker 1: we have always gotten those results in and around the 267 00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:28,400 Speaker 1: end of the Avocate Texas kickoff because it's always on Saturday. 268 00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:32,520 Speaker 1: It's always on Saturday. Now it's now, it's gonna now 269 00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:34,280 Speaker 1: it's a couple of weeks from now. It's gonna be great. 270 00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:36,720 Speaker 1: It's gonna be Friday night. It's gonna be fantastic. So 271 00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:39,439 Speaker 1: it's weird that weekend's huge. By the way, and in 272 00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:42,160 Speaker 1: this building, folks, I know this is a little inside baseball, 273 00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:43,920 Speaker 1: but let me tell you something. You have three games 274 00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:46,920 Speaker 1: in three days here and it's less than three days. 275 00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:49,000 Speaker 1: I don't know how you do it. I mean, luckily 276 00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:53,079 Speaker 1: the field. Luckily it's everything's one hundred yard field. But 277 00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:56,520 Speaker 1: that's that's it. And it's an artific hashes. I mean, 278 00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:59,880 Speaker 1: I don't whove hashes, paint end zones. It's all gonna 279 00:13:59,880 --> 00:14:03,680 Speaker 1: be done. It's the Cougs and Washington State on Friday. Yeah, 280 00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:06,520 Speaker 1: cougs and cougs, and it's ut and Rice on Saturday 281 00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:10,199 Speaker 1: night and then Sunday at noon. So a short turnaround 282 00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:13,520 Speaker 1: from ut Rice. You got the Texans and the Jags 283 00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:17,319 Speaker 1: and the home opener that's the one. I don't know. 284 00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:19,840 Speaker 1: And you have staff working build three games. It will 285 00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:22,080 Speaker 1: get done. Oh, I'll be working. And then everybody's going 286 00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:24,760 Speaker 1: on vacation. No, not really, how we're in football season. Man, 287 00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:27,160 Speaker 1: they get to go on vacation in fabruvacation. All right, 288 00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:28,920 Speaker 1: we've got we've got a lot to do here. Now. 289 00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:32,960 Speaker 1: The Texans will not announce who's getting cut until tomorrow 290 00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:37,880 Speaker 1: afternoon late probably. Now you've read reports of people who 291 00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:41,560 Speaker 1: have gotten released, so have we. So let's talk about 292 00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:45,520 Speaker 1: some of the players who have reportedly not made the 293 00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:48,560 Speaker 1: initial fifty three. However, I'm gonna I'm gonna caution you 294 00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:50,680 Speaker 1: that some of these players could come back on the 295 00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:54,560 Speaker 1: practice squad, and sometimes you put them out there just 296 00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:56,640 Speaker 1: so you can put somebody on ir and do something 297 00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:58,400 Speaker 1: funky with the fifty three and bring them back the 298 00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:00,160 Speaker 1: fifty three. You never know how it's gonna go. And 299 00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:02,960 Speaker 1: I'm sure these conversations I'm not not sure, but I 300 00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:06,280 Speaker 1: imagine they've taken place now. Joe Webb, what happened to him? 301 00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:10,120 Speaker 1: Kahale Wearing, what's up with him? Let's talk about it all. 302 00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:14,720 Speaker 1: It's Texans Radio from the Hounday Texans Radio Studio.

Bill 308 00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:46,000 Speaker 1: O'Brien at the podium earlier today talked about the kind 309 00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:50,320 Speaker 1: of training cap that the Texans have had. I swear 310 00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:53,320 Speaker 1: he did. Believe me, he did. I was there. It's coming, Yeah, 311 00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:56,800 Speaker 1: it's got any moment I heard it. The offseason program, 312 00:15:56,840 --> 00:16:01,360 Speaker 1: you know, the rookie program, rookie any camp, offseason program. 313 00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:04,400 Speaker 1: OTA's to training camp. You're really you go through stages, 314 00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:07,040 Speaker 1: you know, you go through stages of ninety man roster 315 00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:08,760 Speaker 1: where guys are getting to know each other, kind of 316 00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:11,640 Speaker 1: a new stage for everybody, and then you hit the 317 00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:14,280 Speaker 1: stage where everybody becomes a little bit comfortable with each other, 318 00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:17,760 Speaker 1: the communication becomes better, and then you hit some stages 319 00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:20,680 Speaker 1: of adversity on the practice field on the game field, 320 00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:22,880 Speaker 1: and I think with every stage, we've learned a lot 321 00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:25,960 Speaker 1: about this team, and I think these guys are really 322 00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:29,520 Speaker 1: coming together. Well they are, but they're coming apart two 323 00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:31,480 Speaker 1: in the sense that you have to release a lot 324 00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:34,880 Speaker 1: of players to get down to the fifty three man roster. 325 00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:38,560 Speaker 1: These are difficult days relative to the players that are 326 00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:41,480 Speaker 1: eventually released. You know, these are guys that we've had 327 00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:44,480 Speaker 1: a really good ninety man roster, guys that have really 328 00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:46,640 Speaker 1: worked hard to try to do the things that we've 329 00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:48,080 Speaker 1: asked them to do. But again, at the end of 330 00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:50,080 Speaker 1: the day, you have to get down to fifty three 331 00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:53,920 Speaker 1: and you know that's those are difficult decisions and you know, 332 00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:58,360 Speaker 1: difficult conversations, but conversations that have to happen. So we'll 333 00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:01,400 Speaker 1: start that process here today and into tomorrow. Well, the 334 00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:05,600 Speaker 1: process has definitely started, and you know, it's really heartbreaking 335 00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:09,000 Speaker 1: because guys get hurt in preseason games, and you know, 336 00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:11,159 Speaker 1: players you wanted to see be a part of this 337 00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:13,480 Speaker 1: thing and maybe they can't be because of injuries. And 338 00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:15,600 Speaker 1: what about Joe Webb who was hurt late in the 339 00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:18,920 Speaker 1: game last night here as the coach. Joe Webb definitely 340 00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:24,199 Speaker 1: suffered a significant foot injury last night. Not sure the 341 00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:26,480 Speaker 1: extent of it, but you know know that it's significant. 342 00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:30,919 Speaker 1: Joe Webb is really a great teammate guy in our 343 00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:33,720 Speaker 1: locker room. That's been a awesome addition to our locker 344 00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:35,280 Speaker 1: room since the day he walked in the door. He's 345 00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:37,040 Speaker 1: got a great attitude. He does a lot of different 346 00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:41,439 Speaker 1: things for US quarterback, wide receiver, special teams. So you know, 347 00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:46,280 Speaker 1: that's tough night for Joe and for us, very very 348 00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:49,959 Speaker 1: tough indeed. And AJ McCarron. You saw him warming up 349 00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:51,920 Speaker 1: last night on the field, so that's a good sign 350 00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:55,760 Speaker 1: that McCarron could come back to back up Deshaun Watson. 351 00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:58,679 Speaker 1: I'm not sure what's going to happen at quarterback after that. Now. 352 00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:03,480 Speaker 1: Reportedly Jordan Tama was released, so who knows what happens 353 00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:06,280 Speaker 1: with practice squad. I'm not even gonna go there right now, Johnny. 354 00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:09,479 Speaker 1: It's gonna be interesting though, with Webb suffering this significant injury. 355 00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:12,680 Speaker 1: What about three quarterbacks on the roster. If they're gonna 356 00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:14,840 Speaker 1: have three quarterbacks on the roster, in all likelihood, it's 357 00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:16,320 Speaker 1: not gonna be Tom who he just got a release, 358 00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:18,200 Speaker 1: So they're gonna have to go somewhere else, and I 359 00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:21,240 Speaker 1: don't know where they go for that. Well, you're your 360 00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:23,720 Speaker 1: math is dead on. So I started making a list 361 00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:27,280 Speaker 1: just watching what's happening throughout the league. Okay, um, can 362 00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:30,480 Speaker 1: I interest you? Oh, we're going shopping on the waiver wire? 363 00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:33,439 Speaker 1: Kind of sort of? Okay, Taylor Heineke let go by 364 00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:36,200 Speaker 1: the Carolina Panthers. Why would he let go? I thought 365 00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:39,040 Speaker 1: he might be their backup. Who's their backup to Cam Newton? 366 00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:42,200 Speaker 1: Kyle Allen? Okay, all right, that that makes sense. Yeah, 367 00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:45,919 Speaker 1: Kyle Allen had he had a great week seventeen and 368 00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:48,720 Speaker 1: last year, and so I think he's kind of just 369 00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:51,359 Speaker 1: riding that momentum. So Kyle Allen, formerly A B and 370 00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:54,240 Speaker 1: M formerly University Houston, I think I think pretty sure 371 00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:58,200 Speaker 1: he's the number two guy. But Taylor Heinneke is out there. 372 00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:01,359 Speaker 1: And again, you know, we're talking about a number three 373 00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:03,560 Speaker 1: quarters right now. It's not like this is the most 374 00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:06,880 Speaker 1: important thing going into the Saints game. However, it's kind 375 00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:09,760 Speaker 1: of nice to have the insurance to the insurance policy. 376 00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:11,600 Speaker 1: And they also have they drafted Will Greer in the 377 00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:14,600 Speaker 1: third rounte Oh out of West Virginia. Yeah, which take 378 00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:16,800 Speaker 1: it or leave it? A third round draft choice though, Yeah, 379 00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:18,399 Speaker 1: a third round draft choice. I mean, so you make 380 00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:21,720 Speaker 1: the investment and Heinekens knows the system here. Look, I 381 00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:23,199 Speaker 1: don't know how well he knows it, but he was 382 00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:25,080 Speaker 1: here and he did get into a game once and 383 00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:27,560 Speaker 1: completed a past and he suffered a concussion. That was 384 00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:30,600 Speaker 1: twenty seventeen, the year of the injury. So so he's 385 00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:32,440 Speaker 1: been here, he doesn't know the offense a little bit. 386 00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:39,000 Speaker 1: And so that's that's one potential option. Okay, uh, here's 387 00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:43,200 Speaker 1: another option Okay, maybe one that we talked about last 388 00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:46,359 Speaker 1: night that we saw in a Rams Jersey. Brandon Allen 389 00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:50,639 Speaker 1: has been released by the La Rams now, so they 390 00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:54,120 Speaker 1: have portals backing up Jared Goff and they also liked 391 00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:57,600 Speaker 1: that John Walter last night. Yeah, he was the fourth quarterback. Now, 392 00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:01,760 Speaker 1: there will be some teams that only keep two quarterbacks. 393 00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:03,879 Speaker 1: It's all they're gonna keep. They're gonna keep two. We 394 00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:06,520 Speaker 1: kept Joe Webb as a third because he ended up 395 00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:09,960 Speaker 1: being active on the forty six man roster game day 396 00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:12,520 Speaker 1: roster and flew down special teams. Was a core fourth 397 00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:14,399 Speaker 1: special team or was it was a good fit. And 398 00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:18,120 Speaker 1: those guys don't grow on tree exactly. So you may 399 00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:20,840 Speaker 1: not carry the third quarterback on your forty six. In fact, 400 00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:23,320 Speaker 1: a lot of teams I don't. No team does, except 401 00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:26,720 Speaker 1: for us because Joe Webb was more than just a quarterback. 402 00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:30,560 Speaker 1: But brand Allen has I don't think any real connection 403 00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:32,359 Speaker 1: to the Texans in any way. He never played for 404 00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:35,520 Speaker 1: the Patriots. I don't think he's run and off run 405 00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:37,760 Speaker 1: this offense. He'd have to learn the terminology all that 406 00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:41,000 Speaker 1: kind of stuff. But before we even get there, we 407 00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:44,520 Speaker 1: got to make sure that AJ McCarron can actually, in 408 00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:48,560 Speaker 1: ten days throw a football and be ready to go 409 00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:50,480 Speaker 1: if something were to happen to the Sean in that 410 00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:53,160 Speaker 1: game against the Saints, got a fit of that out first. 411 00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:56,000 Speaker 1: You know, it's a great point because when McCarron was 412 00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:59,239 Speaker 1: was nicked up in Green Bay, I thought, well, all right, 413 00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:01,639 Speaker 1: if he gets back week one, week two, that's okay, 414 00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:03,760 Speaker 1: because you go into a game wet your backup, you'll 415 00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:05,399 Speaker 1: be all right. You know, you could get through the 416 00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:08,320 Speaker 1: game if God forbid something happened, and and all likelihood 417 00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:09,840 Speaker 1: it won't, but you never know it. Mike but at 418 00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:13,639 Speaker 1: least you have web right now. If mccaren's not quite there, 419 00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:16,520 Speaker 1: God forbid, something happens, do you feel good about whatever 420 00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:18,960 Speaker 1: you have they're gonna have you feel like they're gonna 421 00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:20,520 Speaker 1: have to get a third stringer. But we'll see how 422 00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:22,159 Speaker 1: they handle it. This is gonna be interesting in the 423 00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:24,960 Speaker 1: next forty eight hours, well exactly. And I think trying 424 00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:27,800 Speaker 1: to figure out where AJ McCarron is in his rehab 425 00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:30,960 Speaker 1: may determine maybe you only carry the two. Maybe you 426 00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:33,720 Speaker 1: carry those those two and you get somebody on the 427 00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:36,119 Speaker 1: practice squad, and maybe you find somebody that's a practice 428 00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:39,119 Speaker 1: squad signed them to the active roster if it's looking 429 00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:42,639 Speaker 1: iffy for mccaren or something, somebody gets sick or whatever. 430 00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:46,080 Speaker 1: But yeah, to your point, if you're not totally you 431 00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:48,320 Speaker 1: want to protect yourself. You want a little bit of 432 00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:51,720 Speaker 1: insurance that maybe AJ McCarron isn't quite ready to go 433 00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:54,280 Speaker 1: week one, if you need him, then maybe you've got 434 00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:57,800 Speaker 1: to go to the Brandon weedon Matt Castlewell, oh boy, 435 00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:01,040 Speaker 1: so I'm throwing it out there. I'm not listen, I'm 436 00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:04,159 Speaker 1: not I'm not saying. I'm not saying pound a table 437 00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:08,399 Speaker 1: for Brandon Weedon, I'm not doing that, but I out there. Yeah, 438 00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:10,720 Speaker 1: you've got to be able to and I think you know. 439 00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:13,120 Speaker 1: Bill has asked the question last night, Hey, why why 440 00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:14,880 Speaker 1: did you put Joe back in the fourth quarter? He said, 441 00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:18,200 Speaker 1: because we're trying to run a play and we couldn't 442 00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:20,439 Speaker 1: do it when Jordan's out on the field. We just 443 00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:24,480 Speaker 1: we were struggling with its out right. And exactly, Jordan 444 00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:26,879 Speaker 1: has not been in this offense all that much, and 445 00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:28,880 Speaker 1: he's a rookie. I mean, there's a lot of foreign 446 00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:31,360 Speaker 1: things to him. So I don't blame him for any 447 00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:33,960 Speaker 1: of any of that. But you gotta have somebody that 448 00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:36,879 Speaker 1: can just execute that just knows how to drive a 449 00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:39,399 Speaker 1: stick if you will, and hop into driver's seat and 450 00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:41,800 Speaker 1: go drive the car, and you at least know what 451 00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:44,040 Speaker 1: Brandon Weedon, he can at least go in there and 452 00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:46,479 Speaker 1: drive the car if you need it. Now, if you 453 00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:49,800 Speaker 1: feel like look, aj is gonna be good, hand, thumb, 454 00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:52,720 Speaker 1: whatever it is, risk, that's gonna be good. He's throwing 455 00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:55,560 Speaker 1: them ball with juice. We feel good about it. We're 456 00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:57,439 Speaker 1: gonna go with these two and then we'll look at 457 00:22:57,440 --> 00:22:59,520 Speaker 1: a young guy to develop. Maybe it's Jordan, maybe Tom 458 00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:01,920 Speaker 1: who does come as the practice squad guy. Maybe you 459 00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:05,879 Speaker 1: work with him further in the offseason. He's got physical tools, 460 00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:10,160 Speaker 1: There's no doubt Jordan tab has got physical tools, but 461 00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:12,440 Speaker 1: he's gonna have to immerse himself in this offense. Not 462 00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:15,240 Speaker 1: to me, would be the perfect situation. AJ is gonna 463 00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:18,640 Speaker 1: be fine. He's been he's been throwing, and he's been 464 00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:22,320 Speaker 1: testing it, and he's gonna be okay for the game 465 00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:23,879 Speaker 1: against the Saints. That if he has to go in there, 466 00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:26,199 Speaker 1: he's gonna be fine. And that you bring in a quarterback, 467 00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:28,040 Speaker 1: you put him on the practice squad, maybe it's Jordan, 468 00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:30,080 Speaker 1: and hopefully it's Jordan. You teach him the offense, You 469 00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:31,600 Speaker 1: give me a year to learn everything, you let him 470 00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:33,480 Speaker 1: learn from the Shawan and AJ, and then you have 471 00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:35,880 Speaker 1: a pretty decent quarterback room at that point. And then 472 00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:40,320 Speaker 1: all this done. However, if you're not there with AJ, 473 00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:43,480 Speaker 1: now you've got decisions to make. Yeah, well, let's hope 474 00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:45,800 Speaker 1: they don't have to make those tough decisions. You know 475 00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:48,199 Speaker 1: what I was thinking about last night, though. You know, 476 00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:51,760 Speaker 1: if this is baseball spring training or even NBA training camp, 477 00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:55,280 Speaker 1: the guys you release in baseball down to the miners 478 00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:57,200 Speaker 1: you go and they're gonna play. They're gonna play, and 479 00:23:57,200 --> 00:23:59,400 Speaker 1: they're gonna get to hone their crap. Jordan Tomo needs 480 00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:02,320 Speaker 1: to play some fall at a higher level in college 481 00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:05,280 Speaker 1: and get to know the lay of the land. Clearly, 482 00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:06,960 Speaker 1: last night it was a little bit of a rough 483 00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:09,640 Speaker 1: go and Bill O'Brien said as much. But maybe he's 484 00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:12,280 Speaker 1: got enough talent to develop. Maybe not, but he won't 485 00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:14,800 Speaker 1: have the chance to really play himself through it. He 486 00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:16,600 Speaker 1: might get onto a practice squad and be able to 487 00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:19,320 Speaker 1: practice through it. Not quite the same thing, sure, but 488 00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:22,880 Speaker 1: there are stories of guys obviously developing that way. Then 489 00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:25,399 Speaker 1: you know, if you're in the NBA training camp and 490 00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:27,600 Speaker 1: you don't make the team, maybe you can make another team. 491 00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:29,800 Speaker 1: Maybe you're in the D League. Maybe you play overseas. 492 00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:34,040 Speaker 1: Darren Fells played five years of professional basketball overseason, earned 493 00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:36,720 Speaker 1: a decent living doing that. Obviously didn't make it to 494 00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:39,119 Speaker 1: the NBA, but here is in the NFL. So my 495 00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:42,520 Speaker 1: point is football's brutal. It's just a brutal profession. It's 496 00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:45,520 Speaker 1: very difficult. That's why that fourth preseason game I tend 497 00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:49,640 Speaker 1: to like the dramatic storylines running through it, because there 498 00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:51,440 Speaker 1: is a lot on the line for these players. Yeah, 499 00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:54,639 Speaker 1: no question, and you would think football more than like 500 00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:59,359 Speaker 1: to say base You mentioned baseball, right, baseball when you 501 00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:01,639 Speaker 1: come from oh Jo, obviously you have to adjust a 502 00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:03,560 Speaker 1: luminum bat in the wood bat. I get that. But 503 00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:06,400 Speaker 1: the game is the game, like the game is the same, right. 504 00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:09,399 Speaker 1: You see curveballs, you see sliders, you see fastballs. Games 505 00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:12,920 Speaker 1: the game what Jordan tom who ran offensively last year 506 00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:17,080 Speaker 1: at Ole miss versus what he is running now. Yeah, 507 00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:21,200 Speaker 1: it's night and day different and he needs to run 508 00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:23,280 Speaker 1: something like it to get used to it. So it 509 00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:26,119 Speaker 1: would make more sense. Like you said, for baseball, if 510 00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:27,320 Speaker 1: you don't make the team, well you go down to 511 00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:29,920 Speaker 1: the minors, your minor league. Sist, he's got to go 512 00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:33,880 Speaker 1: to the Texans Triple A team in beaumonts Yes, the Texans. Yes, 513 00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:37,320 Speaker 1: that's exactly in NFL Triple A.

No, 539 00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:57,240 Speaker 1: can you sue Popeyes because they're out of chicken sandwiches? 540 00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:01,920 Speaker 1: I don't know. Apparently you can, I'm not sure. Yeah, 541 00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:06,120 Speaker 1: I'm not sure about that. Yeah. So the tight ends 542 00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:10,840 Speaker 1: tight end position. I'm sorry. You know. Here we are. 543 00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:13,399 Speaker 1: We're live in the studio, the Honday, Texas Radio Studio. 544 00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:15,800 Speaker 1: We've been here all day, we were here all night, 545 00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:19,360 Speaker 1: you know, and woe was us? Not really Okay, this 546 00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:22,199 Speaker 1: is a blessing to be here and a lot of 547 00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:24,479 Speaker 1: guys have been shown the door today, you know, and 548 00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:26,560 Speaker 1: hopefully they get a chance to come back here or 549 00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:28,440 Speaker 1: somewhere else. And that's just the nature of the beast 550 00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:31,480 Speaker 1: of Bill O'Brien talked about it. You heard him refer 551 00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:34,680 Speaker 1: to that earlier. Now. Bill O'Brien, also at the podium 552 00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:39,679 Speaker 1: today talked about the tight end position group. I swear 553 00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:43,919 Speaker 1: this happened, it's going to happen. Where's my gut veteran 554 00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:46,920 Speaker 1: presence there and fells that that has had a good camp, 555 00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:48,639 Speaker 1: you know, he's done a good job in all different 556 00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:51,399 Speaker 1: phases of the offense. And then we have some young guys, 557 00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:53,320 Speaker 1: you know, we've got some guys that have that have 558 00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:55,880 Speaker 1: uh you know, improved and done a lot of good things. 559 00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:58,320 Speaker 1: So I think that position and then and then there's guys, 560 00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:00,480 Speaker 1: you know, like a Darrell Adams that that's had a 561 00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:02,440 Speaker 1: good camp. So I think that's a position that has, 562 00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:07,240 Speaker 1: you know, a good diverse skill set there. And that's 563 00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:10,280 Speaker 1: part of the conversations that we're having right now what's 564 00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:13,000 Speaker 1: best for the team relative to that position. Okay, Jordan 565 00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:15,760 Speaker 1: Thomas played a lot last night, shake it up at 566 00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:17,840 Speaker 1: one point, but he ran out the field. He seems 567 00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:23,280 Speaker 1: to be okay. Doctor VanderMeer says, who knows, but coach 568 00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:25,960 Speaker 1: said that he's still in the protocol. Yeah, that's gonna 569 00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:27,800 Speaker 1: be interesting to see how they handle this one because 570 00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:30,919 Speaker 1: it's hard to project when you're back from a concussion, 571 00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:32,880 Speaker 1: and do you hold a spot or do you say, 572 00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:35,120 Speaker 1: all right, let's go ir, you know, So they've got 573 00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:39,239 Speaker 1: that to decide. And you saw what Fells did when 574 00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:41,960 Speaker 1: he was in the starting lineup for those eleven plays 575 00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:44,840 Speaker 1: against the Detroit Lions. He looked pretty good in that drive. 576 00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:47,840 Speaker 1: I liked Fells coming into this camp, and you know, 577 00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:49,160 Speaker 1: you and I kind of fell in love with him 578 00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:52,520 Speaker 1: interviewing him in the studio. So maybe he's part of 579 00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:54,000 Speaker 1: the mix. I think this is going to be a 580 00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:55,640 Speaker 1: really interesting group. And they still have a chance to 581 00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:57,080 Speaker 1: keep born. I still have a chance to win my 582 00:28:57,080 --> 00:29:01,040 Speaker 1: bet with McClain. Yeah, there's if. And again we got 583 00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:03,520 Speaker 1: to figure out with Collie. He's been in the concussion 584 00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:06,640 Speaker 1: protocol for a little bit. I mean, how many practices 585 00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:12,080 Speaker 1: he had again, and I told I told the Actually, 586 00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:14,440 Speaker 1: Rick and Seth we were talking about that. They asked 587 00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:16,160 Speaker 1: me about that in the pregame and I was like, 588 00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:18,560 Speaker 1: you were in Green Bay, Rick, you saw Wearing. He's 589 00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:20,560 Speaker 1: going off on people. I mean it was good. Oh. 590 00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:24,200 Speaker 1: I was like, oh my goodness, the tight ends are 591 00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:29,680 Speaker 1: catching everything. It was. It was amazing. But I still 592 00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:33,560 Speaker 1: think there's a chance, even if Wearing goes on ir 593 00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:38,680 Speaker 1: that they keep four because Darrell Adams has been very, 594 00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:42,640 Speaker 1: very good. Now there might be a little bit of 595 00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:48,600 Speaker 1: redundancy with Adams and the other three. At least with Fells, 596 00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:54,200 Speaker 1: Aikins and Thomas. You feel like, okay, we can we 597 00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:56,400 Speaker 1: can pound a little bit. If we have are both 598 00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:58,760 Speaker 1: our wives in our why tight ends, Jordan Thomas and 599 00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:01,240 Speaker 1: Darren Fells, we can get into two tight ends and 600 00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:04,600 Speaker 1: we can get one back yeah, twelve personnel, and we 601 00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:06,320 Speaker 1: can pound a little bit of freak you too. If 602 00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:08,960 Speaker 1: we want to go empty, we can have Aikins out 603 00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:11,160 Speaker 1: on the field all alone. He can act like a 604 00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:14,320 Speaker 1: wide receiver. Aikins can play your fullback position. We saw 605 00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:16,800 Speaker 1: that last year. You kind of got everything covered with 606 00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:19,720 Speaker 1: those three guys. So maybe Darrell is a little bit redundant, 607 00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:22,880 Speaker 1: but it's hard to argue. And coach said it right there. 608 00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:25,040 Speaker 1: You heard him say about Darrell Adams has been really, 609 00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:28,200 Speaker 1: really good. I think Darrell finds his way onto a 610 00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:30,680 Speaker 1: roster at some point if he doesn't make this team. 611 00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:34,680 Speaker 1: But I just with Wearing, there's no way you keep five. 612 00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:37,920 Speaker 1: So if Wearing is like I'm ready to go, he 613 00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:42,720 Speaker 1: passed all the concussion protocol, then you gotta roll with 614 00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:46,680 Speaker 1: him because you gotta keep five and then make the 615 00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:50,000 Speaker 1: decision later, which might be a luxury you can't afford there. 616 00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:53,160 Speaker 1: And that's what he just said. They're gonna have these conversations, 617 00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:55,560 Speaker 1: and you know they've been having them because but with 618 00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:58,720 Speaker 1: all the reported releases today, they are not even close 619 00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:01,320 Speaker 1: to being down of fifty three, right, No, not not close, 620 00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:03,800 Speaker 1: So they're they're letting it cycle out through the night. 621 00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:07,840 Speaker 1: They don't have to get here till tomorrow afternoon. Absolutely, 622 00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:09,800 Speaker 1: and a lot of teams like that. I just saw 623 00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:12,720 Speaker 1: the Eagles a little while ago. They were I think 624 00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:16,840 Speaker 1: they waved or released. And it depends on whether you're 625 00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:20,200 Speaker 1: a veteran or rookie, that's the nomenclature. But essentially twenty 626 00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:22,520 Speaker 1: they're twenty two players down, so they've got to get 627 00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:25,080 Speaker 1: they've got to get even more, so they'll be more 628 00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:27,080 Speaker 1: in the morning and around lunch time. They got to 629 00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:29,600 Speaker 1: get down there before at three o'clock Central time for 630 00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:32,680 Speaker 1: Eastern time. But you know, I've seen the rams they 631 00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:35,520 Speaker 1: put up say hey we we release these guys um 632 00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:38,920 Speaker 1: already to this point, so you we'll see. But did 633 00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:41,760 Speaker 1: they put out a release the Eagles, did I think 634 00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:45,400 Speaker 1: the release? Yeah, the Rams? Yeah. Interesting, Yeah, either it 635 00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:47,120 Speaker 1: was either a release or it was something from the 636 00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:52,719 Speaker 1: RAMS site. Okay, yeah, it's pretty artificial. We won't do that, folks. 637 00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:56,120 Speaker 1: Non wait Saturday night, you'll get it. You'll get the 638 00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:58,560 Speaker 1: big it'll be the big one that says these players 639 00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:00,560 Speaker 1: have been released. This player has been but on ir 640 00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:03,800 Speaker 1: this player is this, So yeah, we'll get that. But 641 00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:09,600 Speaker 1: with wearing if he does go on IR. You can't 642 00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:13,680 Speaker 1: bring him back now, It'll it'll be some weeks. And 643 00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:17,200 Speaker 1: the thing about it with I almost and I want 644 00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:19,880 Speaker 1: to see I'm I'm anxious to see Collie wearing just 645 00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:22,719 Speaker 1: like everybody else. I mean, I when I studied him 646 00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:25,200 Speaker 1: late in the draft process, I'm like, holy smokes. And 647 00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:27,040 Speaker 1: then we drafted, I'm like, oh my god, this guy 648 00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:30,320 Speaker 1: with DeShawn is gonna be really fun to watch. But 649 00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:34,360 Speaker 1: you know how this thing goes with Fells, Aikins and Thomas. Now, 650 00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:37,840 Speaker 1: the two Jordans were healthy all sixteen games. But you 651 00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:39,960 Speaker 1: saw Jordan Thomas take one right in the right in 652 00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:43,480 Speaker 1: the rib cage last night. At some point, you're gonna 653 00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:45,640 Speaker 1: one of those tight ends is gonna get banged up 654 00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:47,880 Speaker 1: and miss a few games. Well maybe by the time 655 00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:50,760 Speaker 1: you get to week six, seven, eight, when Collie can 656 00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:53,440 Speaker 1: come back off IR and you can start practicing come 657 00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:56,040 Speaker 1: back off IR, maybe he's ready to go when one 658 00:32:56,040 --> 00:32:57,920 Speaker 1: of those other guys gets banged up. I mean, that's 659 00:32:58,120 --> 00:33:00,680 Speaker 1: that's the move you make. So Ian Griffin did it 660 00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:03,760 Speaker 1: in twenty fifteen. They brought my fire. He was fresh, yep, 661 00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:06,280 Speaker 1: and he contributed while they were making their run coming 662 00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:08,000 Speaker 1: back from two and five to win the division. So 663 00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:10,600 Speaker 1: there is some precedent for that at that particular position. 664 00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:12,800 Speaker 1: I know Griffin was experienced at that point. It was 665 00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:16,720 Speaker 1: year what three for him, So look, who knows what 666 00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:19,240 Speaker 1: they're gonna do with him. But I just think we've 667 00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:22,520 Speaker 1: talked about this position group. It's very interesting the receivers. 668 00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:25,160 Speaker 1: Did Bill O'Brien say seven receivers? He didn't say they 669 00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:28,400 Speaker 1: were keeping seven. He said, well, let's say you have seven. Well, 670 00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:32,120 Speaker 1: he was asked. He was asked about the battle between 671 00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:38,960 Speaker 1: Vincent Smith and um uh Tyrann Johnson. Right, So, I 672 00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:40,560 Speaker 1: don't know if you have that sound here, I might 673 00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:42,800 Speaker 1: I might have it here at least. Let this could 674 00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:44,640 Speaker 1: be the one. Okay, so hold on, here's here was 675 00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:46,800 Speaker 1: the question. I would say that there's a lot of 676 00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:51,360 Speaker 1: guys battling for the h let's just call it the fifth, sixth, 677 00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:53,720 Speaker 1: seventh wide receiver position. There's a lot of there's a 678 00:33:53,760 --> 00:33:56,080 Speaker 1: lot of discussions, a lot of film being watch right now. 679 00:33:56,640 --> 00:33:59,880 Speaker 1: Um started last night after the game, and we're just 680 00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:03,120 Speaker 1: continuing again. We have like, let's just call it till 681 00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:05,680 Speaker 1: whatever it is thirty six hours to get down to 682 00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:08,200 Speaker 1: fifty three, So we're gonna have to put a lot 683 00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:09,680 Speaker 1: of work in and that's what we're doing right now. 684 00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:12,759 Speaker 1: All right, So when he says hang out, coach, when 685 00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:18,080 Speaker 1: he says fifth, six, seventh, now they look at that 686 00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:21,600 Speaker 1: that way with practice squad, right, if somebody's on the 687 00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:24,160 Speaker 1: practice squad and their receiver, they might call him, I 688 00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:27,640 Speaker 1: think the coaching language, they might say he's our seventh receiver, 689 00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:29,560 Speaker 1: even though he said practice squad, and somebody could steal 690 00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:31,960 Speaker 1: him if they wanted to on their fifty three. But 691 00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:34,680 Speaker 1: I don't think they're keeping seven, but they might. Who knows, 692 00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:36,800 Speaker 1: they might surprise us all. The question I went with 693 00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:38,640 Speaker 1: that was what kind of progress did you see throughout 694 00:34:38,719 --> 00:34:41,640 Speaker 1: camp in Tyrann Johnson and Vincent Smith who were seemingly 695 00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:44,920 Speaker 1: battling for the last receiver spot. Now when he has 696 00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:48,680 Speaker 1: been asked a leading question, that's so leading. Well, you 697 00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:51,080 Speaker 1: remember what John McClain asked him about the running back 698 00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:54,640 Speaker 1: situation earlier in camp, who you're running back beyond your 699 00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:57,640 Speaker 1: top two? Right? Like, well, who are the top two? Right? 700 00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:01,960 Speaker 1: And learned foreman he said, well mill right, So now 701 00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:04,640 Speaker 1: it's kind of leading question. He's like, oh, we could 702 00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:08,600 Speaker 1: carry five, six, seven. I think I don't remember a 703 00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:12,759 Speaker 1: year where they ever kept seven. I don't remember that. Well, 704 00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:16,120 Speaker 1: here's that on the fifty three. They could keep seven 705 00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:19,720 Speaker 1: tomorrow night, and they could let one go on Sunday 706 00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:21,880 Speaker 1: when they pull somebody off the waiver wire at another 707 00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:25,600 Speaker 1: position and take a seventh receiver off there fifty three. 708 00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:28,000 Speaker 1: In other words, whatever you see tomorrow night, as you know, 709 00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:31,279 Speaker 1: is not the final fifty three. Necessarily, they're gonna comb 710 00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:33,040 Speaker 1: the waiver wire and see if they can improve the 711 00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:34,520 Speaker 1: team in some other way. Maybe there's a trade. A 712 00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:37,080 Speaker 1: lot of reports about possible trades. Maybe there's a trade 713 00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:39,319 Speaker 1: that effects the fifty three. Obviously, we'll see how it goes. 714 00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:42,120 Speaker 1: Clowney shows up, he's got to take a spot boom. 715 00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:45,000 Speaker 1: You have to let somebody go. So what you see 716 00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:49,040 Speaker 1: tomorrow night is hardly it's unlikely to be the fifty 717 00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:52,880 Speaker 1: three that'll be here on Monday right now. The top 718 00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:58,239 Speaker 1: fifty guys more than likely. Yeah, top fifty. So you're right. 719 00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:00,960 Speaker 1: But there there will be waiver claims, there could be 720 00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:05,200 Speaker 1: a trade, There could be just a signing. Who knows that. 721 00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:07,960 Speaker 1: I remember last year when we get the report and 722 00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:09,560 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, it's like, hey, we claimed three 723 00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:11,759 Speaker 1: guys on waivers. Because I'm doing the math that I'm 724 00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:15,600 Speaker 1: seeing that, I'm like a lot more. This seems to 725 00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:18,279 Speaker 1: be more than, you know, ninety to fifty three. This 726 00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:20,160 Speaker 1: seems like we're getting down to about forty eight to 727 00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:22,680 Speaker 1: forty nine. And then the next row is, hey, we've 728 00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:24,879 Speaker 1: claimed these three guys on waivers, and when you claim them, 729 00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:27,440 Speaker 1: they go on to your fifty three. You know what 730 00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:32,279 Speaker 1: I'm really excited about. I'm gonna play this cut. I'm 731 00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:36,120 Speaker 1: really excited about this because somebody's healthy, who's gonna play 732 00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:38,920 Speaker 1: against the Saints, and he's a difference maker. Yeah, he's 733 00:36:38,960 --> 00:36:41,640 Speaker 1: had a good camp. We've we've had a plan coming 734 00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:44,480 Speaker 1: into camp to manage his reps coming off of that 735 00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:48,040 Speaker 1: injury that he had last year. He's had a good camp. 736 00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:51,319 Speaker 1: He's a good route runner, He's improved his hands a 737 00:36:51,360 --> 00:36:54,400 Speaker 1: lot since he came into the league. He has a 738 00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:56,919 Speaker 1: good chemistry with the Shawn. So I do think that 739 00:36:57,320 --> 00:37:01,840 Speaker 1: he's he's ready and that's why will Fuller the fifth 740 00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:07,200 Speaker 1: and let's go against New Orleans. Those two words he's ready, man, 741 00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:10,680 Speaker 1: I was just that is huge right there. I don't 742 00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:13,640 Speaker 1: know about QT. I don't know his situation, but the 743 00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:17,480 Speaker 1: fact that Fuller's ready, Hopkins, whatever you throw out there 744 00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:20,919 Speaker 1: at tight end, I know the back situation. Look, you're 745 00:37:20,920 --> 00:37:23,839 Speaker 1: gonna have to adjust. They have Duke Johnson. We haven't 746 00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:26,319 Speaker 1: seen anything, Johnny. I go back to what I said 747 00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:28,440 Speaker 1: at the top of the show. They get the practice 748 00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:31,200 Speaker 1: in front of nobody but themselves. Let's see how they loose. 749 00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:34,759 Speaker 1: How they use Duke Johnson as a receiver, as a back, 750 00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:37,600 Speaker 1: as a whatever. He's going to fill the water cups 751 00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:39,360 Speaker 1: on the sideline. He's gonna do a lot of different 752 00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:42,160 Speaker 1: things for this football team. If you have an advantage 753 00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:45,920 Speaker 1: against the Saints, that's it. The element of surprise. You 754 00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:47,960 Speaker 1: have the element of surprise. The Saints are gonna have 755 00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:51,120 Speaker 1: to try and adapt to that what you're doing, and 756 00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:53,600 Speaker 1: maybe you hit him with tempo. The thing about the Saints, 757 00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:57,920 Speaker 1: they've been running that offense for a long time, a 758 00:37:58,040 --> 00:38:00,799 Speaker 1: long time, so their tendency there, and I can tell 759 00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:03,040 Speaker 1: you the tendency. They're gonna try and get thirteen and 760 00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:05,480 Speaker 1: forty one on the same side and run forty one 761 00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:08,759 Speaker 1: on option routes all night long and very effective. If 762 00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:10,759 Speaker 1: you screw up the coverage. They'll hit thirteen on the 763 00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:13,440 Speaker 1: end route. That's that's what they want. They want forty 764 00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:17,360 Speaker 1: one on your linebackers all day long, and that's Alvin Kamara. 765 00:38:17,680 --> 00:38:19,560 Speaker 1: That's what they want. And they did that against the 766 00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:21,880 Speaker 1: Rams all night in The Rams thought they had a 767 00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:24,640 Speaker 1: plan and Camara just burned them. The problem is in 768 00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:27,200 Speaker 1: the second half they weren't able to get as much 769 00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:29,560 Speaker 1: out of that. Rams a couple of adjustments and the 770 00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:31,680 Speaker 1: Rams linebackers could run. Now our guys can run too, 771 00:38:31,680 --> 00:38:33,520 Speaker 1: but they're gonna get the ball to forty one. There's 772 00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:37,440 Speaker 1: really not a huge element of surprise with the Saints. 773 00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:39,640 Speaker 1: You just know that Drew Brees is gonna take what 774 00:38:39,680 --> 00:38:43,680 Speaker 1: he gets. How the Texans use Duke Johnson pull a 775 00:38:43,719 --> 00:38:46,239 Speaker 1: wild card even to us, Even to us, I mean, 776 00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:49,759 Speaker 1: we can we can probably well I'm guessing they might 777 00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:53,400 Speaker 1: do this. But is Duke more of a zone runner 778 00:38:53,600 --> 00:38:56,399 Speaker 1: or does he want to run into power? Stuff? Is? 779 00:38:56,680 --> 00:38:58,759 Speaker 1: Does you know? How does he how does he fitch? 780 00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:00,759 Speaker 1: How much you want to full back in front of him? 781 00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:03,680 Speaker 1: Does he not? There's no Alfred Blue here. I mean, 782 00:39:03,719 --> 00:39:06,600 Speaker 1: this is not like, oh, we're gonna run. I was 783 00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:09,040 Speaker 1: gonna say what we always run, but they do change 784 00:39:09,040 --> 00:39:12,560 Speaker 1: it up. However, it does the philosophy change a little 785 00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:16,239 Speaker 1: bit now with no Lamar Miller. These are questions that 786 00:39:16,239 --> 00:39:19,200 Speaker 1: the Saints are gonna have to ask themselves, and they're 787 00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:21,440 Speaker 1: not going to know until they know until Monday night, 788 00:39:21,560 --> 00:39:24,480 Speaker 1: six o'clock, one week from Monday. I wish it was 789 00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:26,440 Speaker 1: this Monday, it would be so nice. But it's one 790 00:39:26,480 --> 00:39:28,359 Speaker 1: week from Monday, and we're all gonna find it out 791 00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:30,760 Speaker 1: together at the Superdome. And you hope that the element 792 00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:33,480 Speaker 1: of surprise can get the Texans a little edge, especially early, 793 00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:36,440 Speaker 1: and they can figure this thing out and ride it 794 00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:38,839 Speaker 1: into the sunset, because they're gonna have to deal with 795 00:39:39,120 --> 00:39:45,719 Speaker 1: one raucous crowd. That place from the outset is going 796 00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:49,480 Speaker 1: to be loud as loud as anything we've ever night 797 00:39:49,560 --> 00:39:52,120 Speaker 1: game in New Orleans. There no one, No one's going 798 00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:54,759 Speaker 1: to work on Monday in New Orleans or Tuesday. And 799 00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:58,279 Speaker 1: it's the first one after that debacle and the NFA Championship. 800 00:39:58,360 --> 00:40:01,040 Speaker 1: Save it up for all offseason now. I also liked 801 00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:06,960 Speaker 1: that though, because they're gonna be feeling very tight if 802 00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:09,080 Speaker 1: we hit them with a couple a couple of hard 803 00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:13,120 Speaker 1: jabs like oh, whoa, whoa, what's happening here? Yeah, And 804 00:40:13,160 --> 00:40:14,719 Speaker 1: all of a sudden we put one in. We put 805 00:40:14,719 --> 00:40:17,080 Speaker 1: one on the scoreboard, like all right, and just keep 806 00:40:17,120 --> 00:40:21,279 Speaker 1: the press past interference on every play against. Well, that's 807 00:40:21,280 --> 00:40:23,319 Speaker 1: the one thing make up for the NF. We were 808 00:40:23,360 --> 00:40:25,080 Speaker 1: talking about this. We're talking about this a little bit 809 00:40:25,080 --> 00:40:27,839 Speaker 1: the other day. Wait, when I went to Senior Bowl, 810 00:40:28,239 --> 00:40:29,960 Speaker 1: we flew into New Orleans and then drove from New 811 00:40:30,040 --> 00:40:32,360 Speaker 1: Orleans and Mobile. So we flew in that Monday. It 812 00:40:32,440 --> 00:40:35,879 Speaker 1: was the Monday Act came. So we flew in and 813 00:40:36,080 --> 00:40:37,839 Speaker 1: we had our we had our bags and we were 814 00:40:37,880 --> 00:40:40,840 Speaker 1: just going to through the airport and it was every 815 00:40:41,320 --> 00:40:44,799 Speaker 1: little nook and cranny. There were two three people just 816 00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:47,520 Speaker 1: sitting there. You could hear him talking about it. There 817 00:40:47,520 --> 00:40:49,759 Speaker 1: were people going up like who that? Who that? Like? 818 00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:51,800 Speaker 1: That's how they were. They were, you know, talking to 819 00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:54,440 Speaker 1: each other. It's like a foreign country. It was. I 820 00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:56,319 Speaker 1: love it. It was so awesome, Johnny. I was on 821 00:40:56,360 --> 00:40:58,560 Speaker 1: with Bobby A Bear today. Oh did you understand the word? 822 00:40:58,560 --> 00:41:03,560 Speaker 1: He said? It was like, well, his cost I love 823 00:41:03,640 --> 00:41:06,399 Speaker 1: being on with those guys. It's like the water board. 824 00:41:06,400 --> 00:41:10,160 Speaker 1: I'm just kidding kidding, Bobby. I love you. We're gonna 825 00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:13,440 Speaker 1: have him on next week, by the way, and he's great. 826 00:41:13,480 --> 00:41:15,719 Speaker 1: And he talked about the sacks last year with the 827 00:41:15,760 --> 00:41:17,879 Speaker 1: Texans that he said, I wonder what Drew Brees would 828 00:41:17,920 --> 00:41:19,879 Speaker 1: get behind that line. I said, listen, I heard Drew 829 00:41:19,880 --> 00:41:22,560 Speaker 1: Brees saying an interview once he's not afraid to take 830 00:41:22,600 --> 00:41:24,360 Speaker 1: some sacks in order to get some big plays. And 831 00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:26,560 Speaker 1: I think Watson has that mentality as well. And maybe 832 00:41:26,960 --> 00:41:30,360 Speaker 1: maybe you don't want as much of that because you 833 00:41:30,400 --> 00:41:32,279 Speaker 1: want to be able to protect your body. But we 834 00:41:32,360 --> 00:41:35,239 Speaker 1: are discussing the elements involved here. You know, Breeze is 835 00:41:35,239 --> 00:41:38,040 Speaker 1: a savvy veteran and he's good at protecting his body 836 00:41:38,040 --> 00:41:39,920 Speaker 1: and getting the ball out quick. And yeah, this just 837 00:41:40,120 --> 00:41:42,000 Speaker 1: in Breeze is pretty good. The all time leading pastor 838 00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:43,759 Speaker 1: in the history of the National Football League. You know what, 839 00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:46,560 Speaker 1: I love the fact that we're actually talking about the Saints. 840 00:41:46,600 --> 00:41:49,839 Speaker 1: Now we're talking about you know what's different though, Last 841 00:41:49,920 --> 00:41:52,240 Speaker 1: year we go to the Greenbriar, the very first Texans 842 00:41:52,280 --> 00:41:56,319 Speaker 1: training camp. Today that morning, the very first practice, we're 843 00:41:56,360 --> 00:41:58,520 Speaker 1: talking about game plan against the New England Patriots because 844 00:41:58,560 --> 00:42:02,440 Speaker 1: they were the opening opponent, because we're fresh off the 845 00:42:02,520 --> 00:42:06,239 Speaker 1: playoff loss. No, we're fresh off the year, the bad 846 00:42:06,320 --> 00:42:08,600 Speaker 1: year and the playoff loss of the year before and 847 00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:12,640 Speaker 1: the close but no cigar performance in New England. Watson 848 00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:17,080 Speaker 1: got the Week three start right. Well, fast forward to 849 00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:20,279 Speaker 1: this year opening of camp.

Maybe it surprises you and 854 00:42:30,080 --> 00:42:33,160 Speaker 1: it's lower scoring than you think. The drama will unfold 855 00:42:33,160 --> 00:42:34,480 Speaker 1: and it'll be good.
