But if there's an indirect positive to it, 88 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:13,680 Speaker 1: the fact that you got a chance to know some 89 00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 1: guys in the rehab process, getting know JJ a little 90 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,200 Speaker 1: bit better, getting into other teammates a little bit better, 91 00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:20,360 Speaker 1: going through that process. I know it's been a tough 92 00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:22,960 Speaker 1: grind to go through it, but has that been one 93 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:24,520 Speaker 1: of the positives that you have gotten to know that 94 00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:26,479 Speaker 1: camaraderie is built between the guys that are in that 95 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:28,679 Speaker 1: room going through that process with you. Oh, of course. 96 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:30,520 Speaker 1: I've been able to learn so much from a guy 97 00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:32,960 Speaker 1: like JJ. You know, he's been in the LAG's one 98 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:34,960 Speaker 1: of the best, if not the best, to ever play 99 00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,480 Speaker 1: the game, and um, you know, learn so much, you 100 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:39,640 Speaker 1: know from him on and off the field and seeing 101 00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:42,360 Speaker 1: how he works and we're pushing each other and knowing 102 00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:44,640 Speaker 1: that whenever he gets back he's gonna make sure you 103 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:46,599 Speaker 1: hold down the defensive side. I'm gonna do the same 104 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,000 Speaker 1: thing on the offense. And you know, we're very excited 105 00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:51,520 Speaker 1: on the on the work that we put in and 106 00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:54,159 Speaker 1: U you know this this of course nobody, you know 107 00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:56,279 Speaker 1: myself didn't want to get hurt. But at the same time, 108 00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:58,839 Speaker 1: it's a way to just kind of sit back and really, 109 00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:01,159 Speaker 1: you know, see the bigger pitch and um, you know, 110 00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 1: it set me down and um, you know, a lot 111 00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:05,720 Speaker 1: of things was going fast last year, but it kind 112 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:07,960 Speaker 1: of slowed it down, and now we're gonna reback, you know, 113 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:10,400 Speaker 1: pick it back up. Yeah. The Sean Bill O'Brien said 114 00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:13,080 Speaker 1: that when you went out, you guys were just getting started. 115 00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:14,880 Speaker 1: Really there was a lot that he was gonna put 116 00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:16,960 Speaker 1: it into the offense, and he said this offseason, hey, 117 00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:19,360 Speaker 1: the offense is gonna change even more. So what can 118 00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:21,800 Speaker 1: the fans expect to see this year? What can you 119 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:26,880 Speaker 1: tell us anyway? Um, I just say, more ascitement, Um, 120 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:33,600 Speaker 1: more points. Yeah, that's the those the three biggest, biggest 121 00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,800 Speaker 1: things I think I could say the Sean obviously you 122 00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:39,040 Speaker 1: got hurt after the Seattle game. But after that Seattle game, 123 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:42,040 Speaker 1: I thought it was really interesting when when the media 124 00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:45,440 Speaker 1: talked to the Seattle players, they all talked about you. 125 00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:47,960 Speaker 1: I mean, Richard Sherman couldn't have said any more glowing 126 00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:50,479 Speaker 1: things about you. What was it like to hear that 127 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,480 Speaker 1: from a team like that that had such experienced veterans, 128 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:55,400 Speaker 1: teams that won the Super Bowl after the game you 129 00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:57,160 Speaker 1: had against them, What was it like to hear all that? 130 00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:00,120 Speaker 1: That was cool? It uh gave me more confidency. It 131 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:04,440 Speaker 1: made me, um, you know, reevaluate myself as a player, 132 00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:06,839 Speaker 1: you know, um, you know. Previous games, of course, we 133 00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:09,080 Speaker 1: were doing a lot of siding things, but I felt 134 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:11,240 Speaker 1: like a rookie, um, you know, time and time and 135 00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:12,480 Speaker 1: I try to go out there on the field and 136 00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:15,520 Speaker 1: try to perform like I'm a veteran guy. Um. But 137 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,000 Speaker 1: after that game and hearing the veteran guys like those, 138 00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:21,200 Speaker 1: people like Richard Sherman, Arrow Thomas and and and the 139 00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:24,359 Speaker 1: Biby Wagoners and guys like that talk, you know, holly 140 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:26,360 Speaker 1: on me. It was It was cool and it made 141 00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:29,279 Speaker 1: me know that I can, you know, perform and played 142 00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:31,360 Speaker 1: this level very well. You know. It's pretty interesting about that. 143 00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:32,680 Speaker 1: I don't know if you notice this, but the very 144 00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:35,800 Speaker 1: first play of that game. I'll never forget this, Dron Reid, 145 00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:39,520 Speaker 1: who you faced in you you facing the National Championship game. 146 00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:40,720 Speaker 1: I don't know if you noticed this, but the very 147 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:43,040 Speaker 1: first play of the game, gron Reid stands up and 148 00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:45,000 Speaker 1: you're back in the shotgun and you're kind of getting 149 00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:46,600 Speaker 1: the signal and he's pointing at you. I don't know 150 00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:49,360 Speaker 1: if you notice this. He's standing up and he's like 151 00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:51,919 Speaker 1: looking at all these guys and he's gesturing like at you, 152 00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:54,160 Speaker 1: like he had some bone to pick with you, right 153 00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:55,960 Speaker 1: because you lit them up a couple of years ago. 154 00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:57,960 Speaker 1: You had no idea about that. I didn't know. I 155 00:06:58,040 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 1: have to go back and look at it, but I'm 156 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:01,800 Speaker 1: probably I was so focused. I'm making sure that everyone 157 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:03,840 Speaker 1: was getting set and looking at the second day, all 158 00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:06,360 Speaker 1: the way down to the defensive line. Um, I did 159 00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:08,480 Speaker 1: not peek it out. I just thought if you, if 160 00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:10,120 Speaker 1: you seen it, I thought you would have just smocked 161 00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:11,760 Speaker 1: to do that later in the game. But the fact 162 00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:14,120 Speaker 1: that he had a two year grudge, he was gonna 163 00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:15,720 Speaker 1: get back at you, And of course that was the 164 00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:19,200 Speaker 1: best game you played maybe as as a football player. Yeah, 165 00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:22,640 Speaker 1: against Seattle exactly. I'm in just the way I played 166 00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:25,000 Speaker 1: the game. I respect the game. I respect you know, 167 00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:28,200 Speaker 1: the defenders I'm playing against.

But of course I 181 00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,480 Speaker 1: was Brendon last year during OTAs in training camp, so 182 00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:05,240 Speaker 1: I love him, and it was decided to have him back. 183 00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:07,960 Speaker 1: And then I've kind of know Joe well through you know, 184 00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:10,120 Speaker 1: Cam him at Charlotte, So I used to go up 185 00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:12,600 Speaker 1: to Charlotte all the time and uh spend time with 186 00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:14,680 Speaker 1: with Cam and Joe.

I've been, 194 00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:34,600 Speaker 1: of course to Mexico, but as far as Europe, it was. 195 00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:37,440 Speaker 1: It was all great opportunity for myself. And I didn't 196 00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:40,280 Speaker 1: notice we had so many fans over there, so uh, 197 00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:42,000 Speaker 1: you know, for all the tests fans, that's a lot 198 00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:45,079 Speaker 1: of fans in Germany in the europe Sean thanks a 199 00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:48,120 Speaker 1: lot for joining us, bestial man, I appreciate. As we 200 00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:50,439 Speaker 1: were concluding that interview with the Seawan, I quickly got 201 00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:52,319 Speaker 1: on my computer and I went to the the NFL game 202 00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:54,480 Speaker 1: Pass and I've watched that Seattle game I don't know 203 00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:56,120 Speaker 1: how many times, and I'm sure some of you have 204 00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:58,800 Speaker 1: as well. And I pull up that very first moment 205 00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,120 Speaker 1: and I showed a drop pointing at him. He said, 206 00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:03,000 Speaker 1: I had no idea, he said, I'm looking at the 207 00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:04,920 Speaker 1: defense and looking at the coach. I didn't even see him. 208 00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:07,360 Speaker 1: He just started laughing. He thought it was funny that 209 00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:10,240 Speaker 1: John Reid wanted to get him so badly, And well, 210 00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:12,600 Speaker 1: he certainly didn't in that championship game, and he certainly 211 00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:17,079 Speaker 1: did that afternoon in Seattle. Now, another member of the 212 00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:21,120 Speaker 1: Texans quarterback room is well, he's more like a Cordell 213 00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:26,120 Speaker 1: Stewart slash player, but he is quarterback. He's running back, 214 00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:28,880 Speaker 1: he's wide receiver, special teams guy. Joe Webb does a 215 00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:31,680 Speaker 1: little bit of everything. He came into the game last 216 00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:34,240 Speaker 1: year when the Bills played the Colts in that huge 217 00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:37,040 Speaker 1: snowstorm up in Buffalo and led them to a victory 218 00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:39,760 Speaker 1: in that game. Now, Shady McCoy was a big factor 219 00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:42,439 Speaker 1: in that as well. But Joe has spent some time 220 00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:46,280 Speaker 1: at a number of different positions, but quarterback is really 221 00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:48,920 Speaker 1: where he I guess calls his home if you will. 222 00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:51,720 Speaker 1: But he can do a lot of different things. Tbcity 223 00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:54,559 Speaker 1: when Mark Vanniber caught up with Joe Webb earlier this offseason, 224 00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:58,520 Speaker 1: Joe Webb joining us in the Hunday Texans Radio studio. 225 00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:00,600 Speaker 1: Welcome to Houston, how are you doing doing good? How 226 00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:04,480 Speaker 1: about you doing very well? So what is it you do, Joe? 227 00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:06,599 Speaker 1: Because you do so many things now, I mean you 228 00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:10,520 Speaker 1: play quarterback obviously, but you've added so much to the repertoire. 229 00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:12,440 Speaker 1: Tell us a little bit about the journey and how 230 00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:15,000 Speaker 1: you've added to the plate here to make yourself more 231 00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:17,600 Speaker 1: valuable in this league. What one of the first things 232 00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:20,600 Speaker 1: that was told to me was the more you could do, 233 00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:23,280 Speaker 1: the better, you know. So I came into the league 234 00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:26,920 Speaker 1: draft that has a receiver by Minnesota out there doing 235 00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:29,920 Speaker 1: recommend account. They put me at quarterback and they changed 236 00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:32,400 Speaker 1: me back over the quarterback. So out there three or 237 00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:36,000 Speaker 1: four years, switched me to the receiver. Got the Carolina 238 00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:40,160 Speaker 1: played a lot of us all four special teams while 239 00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:43,760 Speaker 1: I was a backup quarterback and play receiver too. So 240 00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:47,320 Speaker 1: it just been out throughout my whole career. How hard 241 00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:51,560 Speaker 1: is it to maintain backup quarterback knowledge and proficiency while 242 00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:53,600 Speaker 1: you're working on all the other stuff. Well that's my 243 00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:58,400 Speaker 1: natural position, quarterback and everything that's just grew on to me, right, 244 00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:01,640 Speaker 1: you know I did in college too. You know when 245 00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:04,840 Speaker 1: my cottage quarterback who was Sam Hunt today, the big 246 00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:08,120 Speaker 1: country singer, you know, he was my quarterback in college. Yeah, 247 00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:10,760 Speaker 1: did you know he was going to be a country singer. 248 00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:14,400 Speaker 1: I had a pretty good idea, yeah, because he used 249 00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:19,280 Speaker 1: to bring his guitar and must have been pretty good. 250 00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:21,959 Speaker 1: It was good, it's good. But I was playing receiver. 251 00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:24,480 Speaker 1: He was playing quarterback. So I've been doing it for 252 00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:26,560 Speaker 1: a minute. So what do you do in your spare time? 253 00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:28,880 Speaker 1: You're seeing like you're a guy many talent, you can 254 00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:30,800 Speaker 1: pick up, pick up different things. You must be a 255 00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:33,800 Speaker 1: natural athlete. I guess you could say play a lot 256 00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:36,200 Speaker 1: of sports and stuff like, yes, man, grown up. I 257 00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:41,920 Speaker 1: had three brothers, so we played basketball, baseball, football, Who 258 00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:44,480 Speaker 1: could run the fastest and you know, byte race, you 259 00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:47,520 Speaker 1: know all types of things. So my brothers they really 260 00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:50,319 Speaker 1: my oldest brothers. I had three oldest brothers. I'm the youngest, 261 00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:53,160 Speaker 1: so they really, you know, took me in and that 262 00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:56,520 Speaker 1: gets you good fast too, the older brothers, Joe Webb 263 00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:58,080 Speaker 1: joining us. All right, So when you go to UAB 264 00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:00,280 Speaker 1: you said you were playing some wide receiver while Sam 265 00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:02,800 Speaker 1: is the quarterback. How did the transition go from you 266 00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:05,000 Speaker 1: to quarterback? Did they know you were a quarterback when 267 00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:07,080 Speaker 1: you first got in there? How did that all go? Yes, 268 00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:09,800 Speaker 1: they gave me a scholarship as a quarterback, but I 269 00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:13,280 Speaker 1: was I think I was two years behind Sam and 270 00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:16,400 Speaker 1: uh so when Sam graduated, I was becoming a junior. 271 00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:18,600 Speaker 1: So that's when I could play a quarterback, my junior 272 00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:20,040 Speaker 1: in my scene. But they wanted you on the field 273 00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:22,880 Speaker 1: when you were a freshman sophomore. Yes, that's correct. That 274 00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:25,000 Speaker 1: was the best way. So and it's funny how that 275 00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:27,560 Speaker 1: does happen to some guys in college, but it doesn't 276 00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:30,520 Speaker 1: usually happen in the NFL. When you're with the Vikings 277 00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:32,640 Speaker 1: and they say, yeah, we drafted you as a receiver, 278 00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:34,960 Speaker 1: but we want you to play quarterback. What was that? Like? 279 00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:38,160 Speaker 1: How did that go down? It went down to the 280 00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:40,680 Speaker 1: right at the mint count, you know. Back then we 281 00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:42,720 Speaker 1: would go back home, you know, we want to go 282 00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:44,320 Speaker 1: back home for about two weeks. So they gave me 283 00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:47,040 Speaker 1: a call, Hey, we like the way you did a quarterback. 284 00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:49,439 Speaker 1: We go get you a shout. We gonna switch your positions, 285 00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:50,840 Speaker 1: or they sent me a play booths or I had 286 00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:54,120 Speaker 1: to learn the France and coverages and all that all 287 00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:57,040 Speaker 1: that so um, and I was kind of happy because 288 00:12:57,120 --> 00:13:00,320 Speaker 1: quarterback is my natural position and right and I could 289 00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:02,520 Speaker 1: do and know it come natural to me. You started 290 00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:05,160 Speaker 1: a playoff game for them, Yes, sir, and that must 291 00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:07,480 Speaker 1: have been kind of crazy. And it was outside, right, Bryan, 292 00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:10,959 Speaker 1: the other college it was a Lambo Oh yeah, that's right. 293 00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:12,520 Speaker 1: But those are the years here. I think you were 294 00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:14,319 Speaker 1: building the stadium too. But yeah, you're right, it was 295 00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:19,160 Speaker 1: at Lamb of course, you're right at Lambo Field. That's crazy. Yeah, 296 00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:22,000 Speaker 1: that was crazy experience, man, very cold. It was the 297 00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:24,839 Speaker 1: greatest sperience. So what do you want to do here? 298 00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:26,320 Speaker 1: How do you think you fit in here? How do 299 00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:28,640 Speaker 1: you think it's all going to happen? Uh? No, I'm 300 00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:30,679 Speaker 1: all for the team. You know, team first, you know, 301 00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:34,000 Speaker 1: whatever coaches need me to do.

What's that like, the relationship that you 307 00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:51,320 Speaker 1: have with him, and you know, what's it like being 308 00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:53,560 Speaker 1: in a room with with him and Brandon Weedon who's 309 00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:56,040 Speaker 1: had so much experience.

Look, this is really helping my OCD. 336 00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:47,800 Speaker 1: And by the way, I'm your host, John Harris, football 337 00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:51,200 Speaker 1: analysts and sideline reporter for your Houston Texans. And as 338 00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:54,600 Speaker 1: I mentioned in the first segment, we're gonna be celebrating 339 00:15:54,720 --> 00:16:00,800 Speaker 1: Texans players, coaches, staff, medical staff, people that have joined 340 00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:03,080 Speaker 1: us that have been great radio along the way, great 341 00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:05,640 Speaker 1: segments that we have done throughout this week of the 342 00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:07,240 Speaker 1: fourth of July. Bes You know, a lot of people 343 00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:09,400 Speaker 1: are on vacation, but it's a good time to kick 344 00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:12,040 Speaker 1: back and celebrate a little bit and then rev our 345 00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:14,400 Speaker 1: engines up for next week when we'll be back live 346 00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:18,720 Speaker 1: bringing you everything two weeks before we go to the Greenbrier. 347 00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:21,840 Speaker 1: So let's get into Brandon Weedon spent last year with 348 00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:25,360 Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans after being released here from the Texans 349 00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:28,120 Speaker 1: Texas deciding to go with Tom Savage and Deshaun Watson. 350 00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:32,880 Speaker 1: Weedon spent the year with the Tennessee Titans could have 351 00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:34,720 Speaker 1: used him actually, and I think that was maybe the 352 00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:37,200 Speaker 1: reason why the Texans ended up bringing him back when 353 00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:39,600 Speaker 1: Tom Savage took a free agent deal with the New 354 00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:42,640 Speaker 1: Orleans Saints. So looking for a backup quarterback, the Texans 355 00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:45,160 Speaker 1: went out and found a guy that they were familiar with, 356 00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:47,960 Speaker 1: that was familiar with them, familiar with Houston. They found 357 00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:50,720 Speaker 1: Brandon Weedon the day that I caught up with him 358 00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:53,080 Speaker 1: was the day that actually Brandon walked down the stairs 359 00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:56,120 Speaker 1: after signing his contract and walked right in this room. 360 00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:58,320 Speaker 1: And of course he knows us, we know him, and 361 00:16:58,320 --> 00:16:59,560 Speaker 1: so we were just able to do some radio. We 362 00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:02,760 Speaker 1: talked about a number of different things, but mainly being 363 00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:06,520 Speaker 1: back in Houston with the Texans. In the Honday Texas 364 00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:11,000 Speaker 1: Radio Studio John Harris alongside the newest Texan just got 365 00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:14,400 Speaker 1: his contract signed, is all signed, sealed and delivered, Brandon Weed. 366 00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:16,520 Speaker 1: How does that feel? Brandon feels good. You know, there's 367 00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:18,399 Speaker 1: last couple of days, there's a lot of anticipation that 368 00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:21,160 Speaker 1: kind of goes into it. You know, obviously you want 369 00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:23,720 Speaker 1: to sign on the dotted line and um, so flew 370 00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:25,760 Speaker 1: down this morning, knocked all my physical stuff out and 371 00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:28,880 Speaker 1: put a little pinto paper and knocked it out. What's 372 00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:31,760 Speaker 1: it like being back in the building. And being back 373 00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:33,800 Speaker 1: in the building is the key because you obviously here 374 00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:36,560 Speaker 1: before all last year, but then back now, what does 375 00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:38,960 Speaker 1: it feel like to be back in this building? You know, 376 00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:41,120 Speaker 1: it feels like home, you know, And that was kind 377 00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:42,840 Speaker 1: of one of the intriguing parts about coming back here. 378 00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:44,639 Speaker 1: You know, I don't have to start over. You know, 379 00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:47,440 Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of faces I recognize, and uh, 380 00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:48,879 Speaker 1: you know, I know a lot of people in the building. 381 00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:51,600 Speaker 1: I know there's been some changes, but uh, just you know, 382 00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:53,400 Speaker 1: just to see everybody that you know, I was with 383 00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:55,840 Speaker 1: not very long ago. Yeah, back in the back last 384 00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:58,520 Speaker 1: last August. Um, you know, it just makes it makes 385 00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:00,399 Speaker 1: a transition really easy. And I'm excited about it. Man. 386 00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:01,800 Speaker 1: There's a bunch of really good people in this this 387 00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:04,000 Speaker 1: building and I'm ready to get to work. And to 388 00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:06,240 Speaker 1: that end, for you to take me through the free 389 00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:10,399 Speaker 1: agent process, I would imagine, like where am I going next? 390 00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:13,919 Speaker 1: How tough a process is that? And then at the 391 00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:16,199 Speaker 1: end of it, it's I'm going back to Houston, a 392 00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:18,480 Speaker 1: place that I know pretty well. How did that kind 393 00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:20,479 Speaker 1: of go over with the family and all that kind 394 00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:22,240 Speaker 1: of stuff. But take me through the process itself and 395 00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:24,480 Speaker 1: then obviously signing, and what was the feeling around the 396 00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:27,199 Speaker 1: family about doing that. Yeah, you know, I mean it 397 00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:29,520 Speaker 1: is stressful because you don't know, I mean, it's more 398 00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:31,720 Speaker 1: of the uncertainty than you know, than anything. I think. 399 00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:35,000 Speaker 1: You know, my wife was, you know, probably more anxious 400 00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:36,560 Speaker 1: than I was. You know, we've got two young kids. 401 00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:38,960 Speaker 1: She's like, you know, she's thinking about the stuff other 402 00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:42,119 Speaker 1: than football, you know. So yeah, for her, it was obviously, uh, 403 00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:44,320 Speaker 1: you know, probably a little bit more stressful. Even for me. 404 00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:45,639 Speaker 1: I just you know, I just let it kind of 405 00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:47,159 Speaker 1: the chips fall where they may. You know, there's a 406 00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:49,040 Speaker 1: couple of teams were involved, and you know, you go 407 00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:50,720 Speaker 1: through the whole negotiating this part and you kind of 408 00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:52,800 Speaker 1: see what the needs were. And I told my agent, 409 00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:54,560 Speaker 1: I said, man, I tell you I'd love to be 410 00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:57,040 Speaker 1: back in Houston for several reasons. But I mean there's 411 00:18:57,040 --> 00:18:58,720 Speaker 1: a bunch of really good guys in this locker room, 412 00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:02,359 Speaker 1: great coaching staff, and a really good football teams. And 413 00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:04,320 Speaker 1: I was just talking to to Brian Gaye. I said, 414 00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:06,760 Speaker 1: you know, as a backup quarterback, that's what you want, 415 00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:08,920 Speaker 1: you know, if you're thrown in there and you're running fire, 416 00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:10,760 Speaker 1: if you're not playing for you know, however long it 417 00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:13,000 Speaker 1: maybe you want good players around you. And I think, 418 00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:15,960 Speaker 1: uh that was when was really intriguing about coming back here. 419 00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:18,760 Speaker 1: It's a really good football team, so, um, you know, 420 00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:21,920 Speaker 1: like I said, it can be stressful, you know, especially 421 00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:24,479 Speaker 1: just the uncertainty. You know, am I gonna play another year? 422 00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:26,359 Speaker 1: Am I gonna have to wait till after the draft. 423 00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:28,400 Speaker 1: You just don't know when everything's gonna kind of kind 424 00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:30,560 Speaker 1: of get finalized. But once I got finalized, I was 425 00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:33,320 Speaker 1: obviously very excited to be back here. And and uh, 426 00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:35,919 Speaker 1: you know, looking forward to this upcoming year, Brandon, you 427 00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:40,119 Speaker 1: I know in my heart, Mark Vanimer's heart, because you 428 00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:43,600 Speaker 1: stepping into that game against Indianapolis a twenty fifteen in particular, 429 00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:47,199 Speaker 1: and the ninety yard drive. We we still talk about that. 430 00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:49,480 Speaker 1: I mean we talk about, oh my goodness, how is 431 00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:51,000 Speaker 1: this gonna happen? And then you lead him down on 432 00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:52,960 Speaker 1: a ninety yard drive like it was nothing. And I 433 00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:55,160 Speaker 1: think the most impressive thing to me was you've only 434 00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:57,200 Speaker 1: been here for a short amount of time. But there 435 00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:59,919 Speaker 1: were no bumps in the road, there were no illegal 436 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,200 Speaker 1: information penalties. You got everybody in the right spot and 437 00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:04,640 Speaker 1: took it on down the field and that was such 438 00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:07,159 Speaker 1: a really cool moment. But that was stepping into a 439 00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:09,840 Speaker 1: situation as as you mentioned it as a backup quarterback. 440 00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:13,120 Speaker 1: What's the mentality have to be as a backup quarterback 441 00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:15,680 Speaker 1: as opposed to being the starter or going in knowing 442 00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:18,280 Speaker 1: that you're the guy. We know Deshaun's the guy. But 443 00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:20,159 Speaker 1: what's that mentality got to be for you to be 444 00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:22,800 Speaker 1: the backup, to be ready to come into a situation, 445 00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:24,760 Speaker 1: perhaps like you did in twenty fifteen. Yeah, you know, 446 00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:27,040 Speaker 1: I mean especially then. I mean I was I don't 447 00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:28,560 Speaker 1: even be here, like I said, a short amount of time. 448 00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:30,639 Speaker 1: I was. I spent so much time. My wife wasn't here. 449 00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:32,560 Speaker 1: I was by myself, I mean up until two o'clock 450 00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:35,080 Speaker 1: in the morning some nights, just really learning this language. 451 00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:36,679 Speaker 1: Is this offense? Because I had never played in the 452 00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:39,399 Speaker 1: system before, and so it was so it was so 453 00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:41,960 Speaker 1: unique to me. So it kind of took the anxiety 454 00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:43,760 Speaker 1: out of it because I knew there was you know 455 00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:45,880 Speaker 1: what our fifteen past plays I really really liked there's 456 00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:47,640 Speaker 1: some runs I was comfortable with as far as Mike 457 00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:51,560 Speaker 1: points and then you know, GOTSI just called those plays 458 00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:53,119 Speaker 1: and you know, the guys around may plays and it 459 00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:55,160 Speaker 1: was just it was it was kind of effluence. I'm 460 00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:58,280 Speaker 1: just kind of really honestly fell into place, you know. 461 00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:01,480 Speaker 1: So I think it really all goes to, uh, you know, 462 00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:03,199 Speaker 1: the preparation throughout the week. I think you have to 463 00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:06,040 Speaker 1: prepare like you're gonna play, um, you know, hoping you don't. 464 00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:07,680 Speaker 1: I mean, ultimately we went to Sean out there and 465 00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:10,600 Speaker 1: we won them healthy. Um, but you know, I mean 466 00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:12,320 Speaker 1: I think for me, what I'll do whatever the Sean 467 00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:14,520 Speaker 1: want some some quarterbacks, won't, you know, a backup quarter 468 00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:16,800 Speaker 1: maybe to get a day ahead, you know, watch third 469 00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:18,920 Speaker 1: downs if we're gonna do them on Thursday, or red 470 00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:20,440 Speaker 1: zone and kind of get a feel for what the 471 00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:22,520 Speaker 1: other team's doing. Um. So if that's you know, what 472 00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:24,239 Speaker 1: he feels comfortable with him, that's what he wants me 473 00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:26,760 Speaker 1: to do, that's what I'll do. So, um, I'm just 474 00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:28,320 Speaker 1: gonna do it like I've all I've kind of always 475 00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:31,000 Speaker 1: done it. Just prepare. Um obviously don't get the reps. 476 00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:33,440 Speaker 1: But mentally, you gotta you gotta stay sharp because man, 477 00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:35,600 Speaker 1: it's uh, you know, if your number is called, you know, 478 00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:38,119 Speaker 1: those other fifty two guys were counting on you. Different 479 00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:41,719 Speaker 1: team then you were, even even last year. Obviously DeShawn 480 00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:43,919 Speaker 1: stepped in for the six and a half games that 481 00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:45,800 Speaker 1: he was in then got injured. But a lot of 482 00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:49,600 Speaker 1: different changes. But the additions Aaron Cove and Tyrn Matthew, 483 00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:51,719 Speaker 1: some of the guys coming in, the offensive lineman coming in. 484 00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:54,040 Speaker 1: What are you see in this squad now? Now obviously 485 00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:56,240 Speaker 1: it hasn't all been put together, it's all on paper. 486 00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:58,639 Speaker 1: What do you see with what they've been able to 487 00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:00,600 Speaker 1: do over the last few weeks to bolster this team 488 00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:02,639 Speaker 1: going to twenty eight team? You know they got to 489 00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:04,639 Speaker 1: be excited about it. I mean, uh, you know, I 490 00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:06,800 Speaker 1: think I've played against Tyro Matthew for you know a 491 00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:08,800 Speaker 1: couple of games and he's like, he got gotta pick off. 492 00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:10,240 Speaker 1: I thought, I thought about it on the flight today. 493 00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:11,399 Speaker 1: I was like, me, I threw an out route to 494 00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:13,640 Speaker 1: Witt and he just undercutt. He basically ran the route 495 00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:17,080 Speaker 1: for Wit and uh, you know, so great player, obviously, 496 00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:19,760 Speaker 1: very instinctive, just just an all around great player and 497 00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:21,920 Speaker 1: Aaron Colvin as well, play him play against mi OU 498 00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:24,600 Speaker 1: and then obviously when he was in Jacksonville. So, um yeah, 499 00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:26,480 Speaker 1: I'm excited. There's a lot of really good pieces in place. 500 00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:29,439 Speaker 1: You know, the the players are there. Now it's all 501 00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:31,199 Speaker 1: about going out and get it done. You know, as 502 00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:33,200 Speaker 1: a team, gotta stay healthy, you gotta do all those things. 503 00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:36,520 Speaker 1: But um yeah, I think I think, uh, you know, 504 00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:37,920 Speaker 1: we've we've got a chance to be a really good 505 00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:39,280 Speaker 1: football team. You know, we got to go out and 506 00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:40,720 Speaker 1: put the work in and do all the things we 507 00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:44,600 Speaker 1: need to do. But um, you know, the additions they've made, um, 508 00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:47,040 Speaker 1: in my opinion, have been have been great ones. Do 509 00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:50,320 Speaker 1: you have scoreboard over Colvin? I think in twenty eleven 510 00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:52,760 Speaker 1: you got we got him in eleven. Yeah, it's like 511 00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:55,399 Speaker 1: forty four to ten, and we were playing. We were 512 00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:57,560 Speaker 1: playing pissed off. We had just lost Iowa State and 513 00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:02,560 Speaker 1: lost our entire season. Yeah, uh yeah. Personally team wise, 514 00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:05,160 Speaker 1: we just yea. So we came in and we knew 515 00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:06,399 Speaker 1: the only chance we had to go playing in the 516 00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:08,560 Speaker 1: National Championship was to get them. So we we we 517 00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:10,199 Speaker 1: laid it on them pretty good. Now, obviously there are 518 00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:12,760 Speaker 1: two quarterbacks coming out of those two schools, Baker Mayfield, 519 00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:16,760 Speaker 1: Mason Rudolph, two young guys coming out. You've gone through 520 00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:19,280 Speaker 1: that process, you did a little bit later in your 521 00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:21,480 Speaker 1: life then they're going through. It will be your advice 522 00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:24,040 Speaker 1: to young quarters, even to de Sean, what's your advice 523 00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:26,640 Speaker 1: to them so that those guys step into the NFL 524 00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:29,040 Speaker 1: ended up having a long, prosperous career. I mean, you've 525 00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:30,560 Speaker 1: been around this game for a while. What would be 526 00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:32,560 Speaker 1: your your advice to those young guys that are learning 527 00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:34,280 Speaker 1: the game now and want to stick around this for 528 00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:37,120 Speaker 1: a while. You know. I think there's a couple of things. 529 00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:40,000 Speaker 1: One I think really establish a routine, you know, especially 530 00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:41,479 Speaker 1: as a quarterback. I mean whether it'd be what time 531 00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:43,720 Speaker 1: you show up in the building toward you know, your breakfast. 532 00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:45,560 Speaker 1: I mean, just establish a routine that works. You know. 533 00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:47,160 Speaker 1: It's gonna take a while for those guys to figure 534 00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:48,639 Speaker 1: out what that is, but I think just you know, 535 00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:51,320 Speaker 1: find out what works for them. Um, you know, then 536 00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:54,479 Speaker 1: whenever they get to wherever they're going, you'll be a sponge. 537 00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:55,920 Speaker 1: You know, if you got a veteran quarterback in the 538 00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:58,239 Speaker 1: room with you, be a sponge, ask questions, I mean 539 00:23:58,240 --> 00:23:59,720 Speaker 1: that's that's the thing about now, is like, you know, 540 00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:01,639 Speaker 1: if you're young quarterback, you're not asking questions if you 541 00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:03,159 Speaker 1: don't know what the coach is saying. I mean, you're 542 00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:04,679 Speaker 1: nuts because if you if you don't know what it 543 00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:07,000 Speaker 1: is on Sunday, you're gonna get exposed. And so I 544 00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:09,359 Speaker 1: would say, just you know, um, this is it's our 545 00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:10,879 Speaker 1: job now. You know, we're not We're not going to 546 00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:12,960 Speaker 1: you know, not going to clash, You're not doing all 547 00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:14,639 Speaker 1: those things. This is this is your job, you know, 548 00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:16,480 Speaker 1: to you know, take it like that, show up early 549 00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:19,119 Speaker 1: and stay late like the old you know cliche is. 550 00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:23,400 Speaker 1: But I would say, yes, established routine, be a sponge, um, 551 00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:25,840 Speaker 1: and just just enjoy the enjoy the moment, you know, 552 00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:28,040 Speaker 1: go out and each week's new week in the NFL. 553 00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:29,879 Speaker 1: I mean you had to get to remember that if 554 00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:33,600 Speaker 1: you win one week, all it's great. You lose, it sucks, 555 00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:36,000 Speaker 1: you know, so you know, just take it, take it 556 00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:38,240 Speaker 1: one week at the time, and and uh, enjoy a 557 00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:41,040 Speaker 1: minute of it. Excited about going back to Greenbrier, you know, 558 00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:43,240 Speaker 1: I am. We were just talking about that. I love 559 00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:46,440 Speaker 1: that place. Yeah, obviously get out of heat here of course. Um, Yeah, 560 00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:47,879 Speaker 1: I thought it was a cool place. I enjoyed it 561 00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:50,000 Speaker 1: up there. We always talked about after you people, what 562 00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:51,479 Speaker 1: the fans want to know? Well, why are they going 563 00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:53,159 Speaker 1: up to West Virginia? What's the whole thing? And I 564 00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:55,159 Speaker 1: used to say, well, it's two things. Number one is 565 00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:59,320 Speaker 1: temperature and then togetherness. Yeah, the temperature was pretty obvious. 566 00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:03,040 Speaker 1: But from camaraderie standpoint, did you sense that being around 567 00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:05,480 Speaker 1: the guys that you got And obviously we had Hurricane 568 00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:07,479 Speaker 1: Harvey going on at the at the tail end of it, 569 00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:10,400 Speaker 1: which completely changed everything, But did you feel that being 570 00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:12,720 Speaker 1: up there together got you guys closer as a ball club? 571 00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:14,840 Speaker 1: You feel that, no question? I think there's no doubt 572 00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:16,240 Speaker 1: about it. I mean, there's not a whole lot to 573 00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:17,840 Speaker 1: do up there right outside of you know what we're 574 00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:19,320 Speaker 1: you know there. I mean there's you know, a few 575 00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:21,879 Speaker 1: on off days can play golf or go shoot clays 576 00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:24,160 Speaker 1: or whatever. But if you're with Leckler, you're fishing. Well 577 00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:26,000 Speaker 1: he fished, yea, he fished every day. They didn't. He 578 00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:29,080 Speaker 1: got the best job in the NFL. But um, yeah, 579 00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:31,280 Speaker 1: you know I thought it did. I mean, I think 580 00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:33,399 Speaker 1: guys you know that maybe don't hang out together or 581 00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:35,679 Speaker 1: visit very much. I mean, you know, during our downtime, 582 00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:37,320 Speaker 1: we're all right there. There's really nowhere to go, so 583 00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:39,040 Speaker 1: I think, you know, you're not forced to, but I 584 00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:41,560 Speaker 1: think it makes a little bit easier. Um, you know, 585 00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:42,879 Speaker 1: we were up there for a long time, so it 586 00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:44,920 Speaker 1: was good to. It was good to. I mean I 587 00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:47,560 Speaker 1: met got with guys that you know, maybe didn't make 588 00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:49,800 Speaker 1: the team, but you know guys that, uh you are 589 00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:51,440 Speaker 1: great guys that I may not have had the chance 590 00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:54,000 Speaker 1: to if if we're here, you know. So, Um, yeah, 591 00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:55,800 Speaker 1: it was a cool experience. I'd never really gone off 592 00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:58,879 Speaker 1: like that. We went to OXNAR when I was in Dallas. Um, 593 00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:00,440 Speaker 1: but it was even even that set up was a 594 00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:02,840 Speaker 1: little bit different than the up it was up in Greenbrier. 595 00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:05,119 Speaker 1: So yeah, I enjoyed it. Man, it was It was 596 00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:06,880 Speaker 1: a lot of fun. I know baseball has run through 597 00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:09,240 Speaker 1: your vans at some point in your life. Opening day 598 00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:11,919 Speaker 1: coming up, you have a team, you're excited about a 599 00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:15,280 Speaker 1: particular team, And how about the Astros after the championship. Man, 600 00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:18,119 Speaker 1: I've obviously huge Stross fans for watching what they did 601 00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:21,400 Speaker 1: last year. That was that was pretty impressive. I'm kind 602 00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:23,440 Speaker 1: of embarrassed to admit it. Man, I don't fallow baseball 603 00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:26,399 Speaker 1: near like I used, you know, the same way. I 604 00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:28,639 Speaker 1: played for five years and I watched one hundred and 605 00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:31,160 Speaker 1: forty games a year. Man, that's enough. I've seen plenty 606 00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:33,800 Speaker 1: of baseball. But when you know World Series in playoffs, 607 00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:35,640 Speaker 1: I'll I'll watch but opening day I'll watch them games 608 00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:37,960 Speaker 1: to night. For I always wonder about this. Rockets are 609 00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:40,240 Speaker 1: doing well? Uh, and we'll see what they do. Is 610 00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:42,520 Speaker 1: the number one seed in the West ashs won a championship? 611 00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:46,400 Speaker 1: How much does that honestly motivated team? But how much 612 00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:48,040 Speaker 1: do you guys pay attention to what's going on to 613 00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:50,359 Speaker 1: the teams in the city and go, but wait a second, 614 00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:52,840 Speaker 1: these teams are playing at a pretty high level. We 615 00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:54,760 Speaker 1: gotta get our game up to their level. Does that? 616 00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:56,800 Speaker 1: Does that ever happen for a professional athletes look at 617 00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:58,960 Speaker 1: the other teams in the city and maybe getting motivation 618 00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:01,560 Speaker 1: from what they're doing. Absolutely good? Well, because you see 619 00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:03,160 Speaker 1: the bus throughout the town, you know, and you want 620 00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:04,320 Speaker 1: to be a part of that. You know, you want 621 00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:06,439 Speaker 1: them to say, man, that was foaming the Astros did it? 622 00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:08,000 Speaker 1: You know? The Rockets were making a heck of a run. 623 00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:10,119 Speaker 1: It's gonna be the buzz. I mean, the buzz is 624 00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:12,240 Speaker 1: what a player won. Yeah, that's just you know, the 625 00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:13,720 Speaker 1: the fun that you know when you go around town, 626 00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:16,119 Speaker 1: that's what everybody's talking about. You know, that's that's fun, 627 00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:18,359 Speaker 1: you know. And to have three teams that are have 628 00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:20,720 Speaker 1: a chance to be pretty elite, um, yeah, you want 629 00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:22,040 Speaker 1: to be on one of those three. And for us, 630 00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:23,639 Speaker 1: I mean, we gotta we gotta hold our own, you 631 00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:26,760 Speaker 1: know obviously, but those other two teams have obviously you know, 632 00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:28,600 Speaker 1: the Rockets aren't done yet, but they've they've got a 633 00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:31,600 Speaker 1: pretty pretty special team there. So uh yeah, you want 634 00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:33,000 Speaker 1: to hold up your end the bargain. I mean you 635 00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:35,520 Speaker 1: want to, um, you know, be the team that kind 636 00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:39,439 Speaker 1: of Um, it's part of what they're doing. Brandon appreciated, man, 637 00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:41,159 Speaker 1: It's glad to have you back. Thanks, thank you. Yes. 638 00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:44,680 Speaker 1: As a competitor, I would imagine that's a pretty tough 639 00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:46,560 Speaker 1: role to be in. You know, you're gonna be a 640 00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:50,120 Speaker 1: backup quarterback and you know, the franchise has found it's 641 00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:53,600 Speaker 1: franchise guy and DeShawn Watson. But I think Brandon Weedon 642 00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:58,440 Speaker 1: knows exactly the role that he is expected to play here. 643 00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:00,919 Speaker 1: With the Houston Texans, and I think it's gonna end 644 00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:04,000 Speaker 1: up being a role that he fits very well. I 645 00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:07,880 Speaker 1: think that Deshaun Watson can really use him, use his experience, 646 00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:11,359 Speaker 1: use his calm. I think Brandy Wheedon is probably the 647 00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:15,240 Speaker 1: perfect fit behind Deshaun Watson. That said, I love Brandon, 648 00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:17,640 Speaker 1: I don't want to see him in a game because 649 00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:19,480 Speaker 1: that would mean de Shaun Watson has gotten hurt at 650 00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:22,040 Speaker 1: some point, and I don't want to see that whatsoever. 651 00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:25,679 Speaker 1: Unless it's fifty seven to fourteen against the Tennessee Titans 652 00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:28,440 Speaker 1: on a Monday night football and they can rest to 653 00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:30,119 Speaker 1: Shaun in the fourth quarter. That would be kind of 654 00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:32,399 Speaker 1: cool because that's what happened last year. I'd be all 655 00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:34,720 Speaker 1: right with that. Now. A guy that has played plenty 656 00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:37,520 Speaker 1: of football for this Texans organization in the past is 657 00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:40,640 Speaker 1: guy named Sage rosen Fells. I got here at two 658 00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:42,440 Speaker 1: thousand and seven. Sage, who was here on the roster, 659 00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:45,280 Speaker 1: played plenty in that oh seventh season. Some of the 660 00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:50,840 Speaker 1: more famous and are infamous plays took place with Sage 661 00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:53,760 Speaker 1: at quarterback one. I know many of you remember the 662 00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:57,360 Speaker 1: Rosen Copter, but Sage, it's a great radio guest and 663 00:28:57,400 --> 00:29:00,920 Speaker 1: he joined Mark Vandermer earlier this offspring talking about quarterbacks, 664 00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:04,160 Speaker 1: talking about Texans, talking about the NFL Saint Rosenfels. We'll 665 00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:08,880 Speaker 1: finish off our Monday Evening Quarterback episode of Texans All 666 00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:48,640 Speaker 1: Access Summer Celebration right here next one final segment of 667 00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:53,640 Speaker 1: our Monday Evening Quarterback edition of Texans All Access colin 668 00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:57,080 Speaker 1: Summer Celebration. Yeah, We're gonna have Summer Celebration all week long, 669 00:29:57,400 --> 00:30:00,480 Speaker 1: celebrating the players, that coaches, the staff, the mini great 670 00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:03,240 Speaker 1: radio segments that we were able to do throughout this 671 00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:05,920 Speaker 1: offseason as we get ready for the Greenbrier, and then 672 00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:09,280 Speaker 1: we'll pick up again live next week right here on 673 00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:12,520 Speaker 1: Texans All Access. Now, I got here to Houston, and 674 00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:14,920 Speaker 1: I'm your host, John Harris, Football and uson Salon Reporter. 675 00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:17,480 Speaker 1: In two thousand and seven, the first game I remember 676 00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:21,040 Speaker 1: walking into our NRG stadium against the Kansas City Chiefs, 677 00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:23,360 Speaker 1: and I walked in probably about halftime because we had 678 00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:28,240 Speaker 1: actually been at LSU the night before, covering LSU and 679 00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:31,280 Speaker 1: Virginia Tech Virgina Tech team that featured both Dwayne Brown 680 00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:35,640 Speaker 1: and Tyrod Taylor, an LSU team. Mister Jacob Hester or 681 00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:37,920 Speaker 1: as Tim Tebow once called him Award Daddy. So we 682 00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:40,720 Speaker 1: got there a little bit late. But that was my 683 00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:44,880 Speaker 1: first NFL regular season game, and I don't know how 684 00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:47,680 Speaker 1: long covering it for the radio station, and I've been 685 00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:50,160 Speaker 1: covering to Texans ever since. Now, Sat Rosenfelds did not 686 00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:53,560 Speaker 1: get in the game that day, but he certainly did 687 00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:56,640 Speaker 1: that year as Matt Shob struggled with some injuries. And 688 00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:58,800 Speaker 1: I know there were many people that thought, no, you know, 689 00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:01,160 Speaker 1: save Rosa Felds, maybe could be the starting quarterback for 690 00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:04,200 Speaker 1: this team. And I'll never forget game against the Colts. 691 00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:07,040 Speaker 1: You all know the game I'm talking about. I don't 692 00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:09,680 Speaker 1: know that I had seen shop play at that level 693 00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:11,600 Speaker 1: at all. I don't know that there were many Texans 694 00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:14,000 Speaker 1: quarterbacks prior to that had played at a level at 695 00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:16,920 Speaker 1: Sage Rosenfels was playing. And then the fourth quarter hit 696 00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:20,880 Speaker 1: the infamous rosen coopter and well away you go. Now 697 00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:24,480 Speaker 1: say just spent the majority of his quarterback career. Spent 698 00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:27,560 Speaker 1: the majority of his quarterback career as as a backup. 699 00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:31,640 Speaker 1: This is from the vandoms View podcast that Mark did 700 00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:34,560 Speaker 1: with Sage Rosenfels, but also that we did for Texans 701 00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:37,160 Speaker 1: All Access. So let's hear what Sage had to say 702 00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:39,640 Speaker 1: and start with his thoughts on being a backup and 703 00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:43,040 Speaker 1: playing that role. Well, I think it all depends on 704 00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:45,000 Speaker 1: you're sort of you're you're watching the game and you're 705 00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:46,920 Speaker 1: seeing the van flow of the game. You're seeing the 706 00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:48,960 Speaker 1: past rush. Obviously you're in tune of what the other 707 00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:52,360 Speaker 1: team is doing. You totally know the game plan, but 708 00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:54,200 Speaker 1: you know, you don't know what type of sort of 709 00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:57,400 Speaker 1: disaster you're stepping into. Are you up by two touchdowns? 710 00:31:57,520 --> 00:31:58,920 Speaker 1: You know you got to play a certain way. If 711 00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:01,400 Speaker 1: they're up by two touchdowns, U is a type ball 712 00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:04,040 Speaker 1: game still in the first quarter? Is a type ball 713 00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:07,600 Speaker 1: game going into to the fourth quarter? Are you behind 714 00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:09,960 Speaker 1: by three touchdowns? You know? As the way you stepped 715 00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:12,520 Speaker 1: into the football game, you have to figure out what's 716 00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:14,400 Speaker 1: the what's the best way for us to win this 717 00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:17,400 Speaker 1: football game? And what should share my style of football 718 00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:19,720 Speaker 1: should be. And there were a few times where I 719 00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:21,840 Speaker 1: came in when was with the Dolphins and a couple 720 00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:23,400 Speaker 1: of times with the Texans. I feel like when we 721 00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:26,600 Speaker 1: were down by three, four scores and and you know, 722 00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:30,240 Speaker 1: Kubiak would call aggressive plays and and in Miami was 723 00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:33,240 Speaker 1: Scott Linahan and Jason Garrett, you know, being aggressive and 724 00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:35,400 Speaker 1: sort of letting it all out and and have the 725 00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:39,840 Speaker 1: ability to preparation to execute two minute offense. Hurry up offense. 726 00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:42,400 Speaker 1: Uh you know some style pass players you go back 727 00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:45,680 Speaker 1: and just get completions. Um And uh yeah, I've had 728 00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:48,280 Speaker 1: a couple of experiences there with h with with the 729 00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:50,720 Speaker 1: Texans that were very memorable and and uh you know, 730 00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:52,360 Speaker 1: its just said. And then a couple of those games 731 00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:55,080 Speaker 1: where we're behind by three or four scores and at 732 00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:57,240 Speaker 1: that point you gotta be aggressive. You gotta try to 733 00:32:57,240 --> 00:32:59,920 Speaker 1: fit balls in places and and sorts, let it go 734 00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:02,320 Speaker 1: and just throw a pick. You throw a pick, but 735 00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:03,920 Speaker 1: you just sort of get that getting You're try to 736 00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:06,080 Speaker 1: get the energy going with your players and and sort 737 00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:08,040 Speaker 1: of get that momentum switched around and get that first 738 00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:10,920 Speaker 1: score first and then just try to snowball from there. 739 00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:13,680 Speaker 1: So you know, sometimes as if you score once or twice, 740 00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:16,440 Speaker 1: that defense starts to stiffen up a little bit and 741 00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:19,120 Speaker 1: the other teams starts to play more conservative and you're 742 00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:21,560 Speaker 1: getting more opportunities and next thing you know, you're right 743 00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:23,360 Speaker 1: back in the football game. So yeah, happened a couple 744 00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:27,720 Speaker 1: of times in my career and some very memorable memorable games, 745 00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:31,120 Speaker 1: including those couple of games against the tendency type sage. 746 00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:34,520 Speaker 1: You played a bunch of the Texans with the Vikings, Giants, 747 00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:38,080 Speaker 1: Dolphins late in your career. Didn't throw any passes in 748 00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:40,120 Speaker 1: those games. But what is it like when you're not 749 00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:42,320 Speaker 1: playing and you have to prepare as if you might 750 00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:45,160 Speaker 1: and you go through all of that as an NFL athlete? 751 00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:48,800 Speaker 1: How about that process? Yeah, well, it's really interesting. You know. 752 00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:51,560 Speaker 1: I left the Texans because I really wanted to start, 753 00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:54,880 Speaker 1: and I worked at Trade with Rich Messengery Kubiak. We'd 754 00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:56,960 Speaker 1: talked about it for basing the entire year, and I 755 00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:59,440 Speaker 1: really wanted to start. Matt Shop was a starter. He 756 00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:01,640 Speaker 1: was making started money and I was making backup money, 757 00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:04,440 Speaker 1: and and they helped me get to the Minnesota Vikings 758 00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:08,160 Speaker 1: and during training camp, U Brett Farve you know, came 759 00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:11,000 Speaker 1: back and and really never had that chance. Obviously, next 760 00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:12,879 Speaker 1: year I get shipped to the Giants and Eli Maine 761 00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:14,719 Speaker 1: to start there. We all know Eli never gets hurt, 762 00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:17,560 Speaker 1: so I didn't play much there either, and and you 763 00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:19,280 Speaker 1: know about two years later I was in the league. 764 00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:22,160 Speaker 1: So uh, it was it was interesting to go up 765 00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:24,960 Speaker 1: and play for those different organizations. It's you know, it's interesting. 766 00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:27,600 Speaker 1: I get to compare, uh, you know that the Dolphins 767 00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:31,280 Speaker 1: and Washington and and obviously the Texans and the Giants, 768 00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:33,160 Speaker 1: uh and and the Vikings. I get to compare them 769 00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:35,719 Speaker 1: all and and you know, community relations people and people 770 00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:38,040 Speaker 1: now who I still talk to all the organizations. So 771 00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:40,840 Speaker 1: I'm still close with a lot of people with the Vikings. 772 00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:44,120 Speaker 1: A lot of those people are Rick Spielman, George Peyton. 773 00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:46,200 Speaker 1: You know, those guys were often done in Miami when 774 00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:48,080 Speaker 1: I was there for most of the time. So I 775 00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:50,560 Speaker 1: go a long ways back with a lot of those people, 776 00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:52,279 Speaker 1: and some of those coaches you know, currently on that 777 00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:54,880 Speaker 1: coaching staff in Minnesota. Uh, still have a lot of 778 00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:57,560 Speaker 1: great friends from my one year with the Giants, you know, 779 00:34:57,600 --> 00:35:00,440 Speaker 1: living in Hoboken, New Jersey and playing for a tennis 780 00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:02,920 Speaker 1: six Giants team, some some great games, and next year 781 00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:05,360 Speaker 1: they won the Super Bowl, and then back in Minnesota 782 00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:07,880 Speaker 1: to finish off of my career after that. So it 783 00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:10,799 Speaker 1: was it was a crazy ride, and and uh, I'm 784 00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:13,320 Speaker 1: happy it's all done. I do miss a plan on, 785 00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:16,440 Speaker 1: miss the guys, missed the locker room, miss the cafeteria, 786 00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:19,600 Speaker 1: where guys are talking about current events and or other 787 00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:22,440 Speaker 1: players around the league or whatever, and you know miss 788 00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:25,520 Speaker 1: those but uh yeah, it's it's nice to not have 789 00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:28,000 Speaker 1: to try to bench press as much as possible and 790 00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:30,360 Speaker 1: put on as much uh you know, wait to squad 791 00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:32,839 Speaker 1: as much as possible and run up hills and and 792 00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:36,160 Speaker 1: run in the heats and put on those pads wines 793 00:35:36,200 --> 00:35:38,840 Speaker 1: in Houston, and that do is thick in the morning 794 00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:41,080 Speaker 1: before you even get your car out of the out 795 00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:44,719 Speaker 1: of the drive stage. We talked about that four fourth 796 00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:48,840 Speaker 1: quarter touchdown pass performance against the Tennessee Titans. Now take 797 00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:51,000 Speaker 1: me to the next year. I know we've talked about 798 00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:53,040 Speaker 1: this before. I know it's a painful memory, but I 799 00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:55,120 Speaker 1: think that it's got to be something you learned a 800 00:35:55,160 --> 00:35:58,000 Speaker 1: lot from when we talk about the comeback that the 801 00:35:58,040 --> 00:36:00,239 Speaker 1: Colts had against the Texans, and you had the late 802 00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:02,720 Speaker 1: lead and you had the fumble returned by Gary Brackett 803 00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:05,480 Speaker 1: for the touchdown, and I imagine you still think about 804 00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:07,719 Speaker 1: that one a luck because all athletes think about I 805 00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:10,920 Speaker 1: was watching Catholics versus Convicts, and all those guys have 806 00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:14,280 Speaker 1: won multiple championships, but they're still bitter about losing that game. 807 00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:17,400 Speaker 1: University of Miami. But I got to imagine, despite the 808 00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:20,879 Speaker 1: great career, that that one still haunts you a little bit. Yeah, 809 00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:23,440 Speaker 1: I don't think it haunts me. You know. I had 810 00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:27,319 Speaker 1: a mentality going back a small town kid and went 811 00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:29,799 Speaker 1: to Iowa State and we were sort of losing school 812 00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:31,399 Speaker 1: and we found a way to get it over the top. 813 00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:33,920 Speaker 1: And I came to the NFL and just you know, 814 00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:35,680 Speaker 1: worked and worked and worked and just tried to make 815 00:36:35,719 --> 00:36:37,880 Speaker 1: the team and try to be as good as possible. 816 00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:40,839 Speaker 1: I was in a sort of go forward attitude at 817 00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:44,080 Speaker 1: all times, go forward and prove myself at all times. 818 00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:46,960 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, spring games or or or or 819 00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:49,880 Speaker 1: just spring practices or or training camp in college, I 820 00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:54,319 Speaker 1: mean diving for first down, you know, taking hits and 821 00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:56,520 Speaker 1: started trying to prove always try to prove myself. That 822 00:36:56,560 --> 00:36:58,760 Speaker 1: was always been my mentality, and I think that's probably 823 00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:01,320 Speaker 1: what helped me in some of those combat games or 824 00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:04,160 Speaker 1: I was good to be aggressive and going for it. Uh, 825 00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:06,279 Speaker 1: And I wasn't you know, in those a lot of 826 00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:09,719 Speaker 1: situations where it was time to be really altra conservative. 827 00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:12,360 Speaker 1: So if it was ever sort of a fifty fifty, 828 00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:15,040 Speaker 1: you know, type of situation, my natural instinct was always 829 00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:18,680 Speaker 1: go for it. Uh, and never you know, play tentatives, 830 00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:21,319 Speaker 1: and um, that's what happened on that play and it 831 00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:23,920 Speaker 1: didn't work out. So you know, it's the way I 832 00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:27,319 Speaker 1: played my career far through too many interceptions, but through 833 00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:29,560 Speaker 1: a lot of touchdowns, had some great games. And I 834 00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:32,080 Speaker 1: had too too many interceptions and and and had a 835 00:37:32,120 --> 00:37:34,640 Speaker 1: few good games. And you also, they pade my fair 836 00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:36,799 Speaker 1: share of mistakes in the league. And I would say 837 00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:38,680 Speaker 1: that was one of them. And uh, I don't know 838 00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:40,040 Speaker 1: if I said I don't know if I regret it, 839 00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:41,840 Speaker 1: I would say I wish I had done something different, 840 00:37:41,880 --> 00:37:44,560 Speaker 1: But a lot of things happened in the NFL, and 841 00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:47,359 Speaker 1: you can't go back, and uh, you know, rehash trying 842 00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:50,040 Speaker 1: to perfect about everything. Uh. You know, things worked out 843 00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:52,440 Speaker 1: pretty well for me. I got three healthy kids and 844 00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:56,359 Speaker 1: life is pretty good. No Mono Braska, absolutely, Sage. I 845 00:37:56,400 --> 00:37:59,239 Speaker 1: know you observed so much about this game, So what 846 00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:02,319 Speaker 1: are your thoughts Deshaun Watson, what you've seen so far 847 00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:05,160 Speaker 1: and what you think might happen in the future. Well, 848 00:38:05,239 --> 00:38:08,920 Speaker 1: I loved him coming out. He was really When I 849 00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:12,320 Speaker 1: remember doing a story and I broke down about the 850 00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:15,879 Speaker 1: top five or six quarterbacks coming out last the last year, 851 00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:18,399 Speaker 1: and this is before the draft, and what teams they 852 00:38:18,440 --> 00:38:22,080 Speaker 1: should go to. Deshaun Watson. I thought the time should 853 00:38:22,120 --> 00:38:26,120 Speaker 1: go to the Houston Texans because he's a guy that 854 00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:29,040 Speaker 1: would I think, assimilate really well to the NFL game. 855 00:38:29,120 --> 00:38:32,000 Speaker 1: He played in such big time college football and in 856 00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:35,560 Speaker 1: so many big games that he would sort of be thought, 857 00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:38,080 Speaker 1: I thought, sort of a pro coming right into this 858 00:38:38,120 --> 00:38:40,960 Speaker 1: thing and play for a really good football team, a 859 00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:43,920 Speaker 1: really good defensive football team, and that you know he 860 00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:46,080 Speaker 1: could go in there and execute. He could go in 861 00:38:46,120 --> 00:38:48,040 Speaker 1: there and be smart. I mean, you gotta he play 862 00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:51,120 Speaker 1: in those big games. You gotta be a smart quarterback, 863 00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:53,759 Speaker 1: deal with situations and all those types of things. And 864 00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:56,000 Speaker 1: so I really thought that he and I loved it 865 00:38:56,120 --> 00:38:58,320 Speaker 1: natural building. I love the way he was a football. 866 00:38:58,360 --> 00:39:01,360 Speaker 1: He's a natural thrower. He's gotten much stronger arm than 867 00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:05,080 Speaker 1: people realize, and him obviously he's a smart professional kids. 868 00:39:05,160 --> 00:39:08,879 Speaker 1: So I think he checked a lot about my biggest concern, No, Wice, 869 00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:11,279 Speaker 1: He's going to get hurt. That's always my concern with 870 00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:14,440 Speaker 1: guys who just can run. Rain's not negative, but getting 871 00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:17,680 Speaker 1: hurt is. So you know him Mariota all those types 872 00:39:17,719 --> 00:39:20,200 Speaker 1: of guys. I do get concerned about the injuries and so, 873 00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:22,080 Speaker 1: but as far as man a guy who can play 874 00:39:22,120 --> 00:39:25,680 Speaker 1: the football game, the natural ability, the instincts that he has, 875 00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:28,000 Speaker 1: his ability to buy time moves into pocket. He's one 876 00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:30,600 Speaker 1: of the better guys in the league already about working 877 00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:33,160 Speaker 1: inside and outside the pocket. He's got their arm strength 878 00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:35,319 Speaker 1: and make things happen down the field. That's sort of 879 00:39:35,320 --> 00:39:37,239 Speaker 1: the new thing. Now you watch Aaron Rodgers do it, 880 00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:39,080 Speaker 1: you watch him starting to watch some other guys do it. 881 00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:41,600 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson is to go back and just sort of 882 00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:44,960 Speaker 1: buy time because guys come open, in particular during and 883 00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:47,960 Speaker 1: Stone defense. These guys do come open if you can 884 00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:49,680 Speaker 1: buy time. And he did a great job of that 885 00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:52,560 Speaker 1: last year. You know, if there wasn't always fall out 886 00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:55,000 Speaker 1: quick and you know, stick rout some slants and things 887 00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:57,160 Speaker 1: like that, he was making some big time throws down 888 00:39:57,200 --> 00:39:58,960 Speaker 1: the field. A lot of that is because he was 889 00:39:59,040 --> 00:40:00,880 Speaker 1: buying a little bit time here and there in that 890 00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:03,560 Speaker 1: pocket and then making big plays. And so he's fun 891 00:40:03,600 --> 00:40:06,640 Speaker 1: to watch, and I'm glad Houston's got a dynamic quarterback 892 00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:08,880 Speaker 1: that makes more fun to watch. Stage what are you 893 00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:11,160 Speaker 1: doing these days? Share that with the listeners. So I 894 00:40:11,160 --> 00:40:13,440 Speaker 1: know you're doing some writing. Yeah, I write for the 895 00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:17,080 Speaker 1: Athletic Minnesota so I cover the Vikings mostly. I will 896 00:40:17,080 --> 00:40:21,040 Speaker 1: cover our things the NFL I occasionally do. I do 897 00:40:21,120 --> 00:40:23,640 Speaker 1: I locked on the Vikings podcast in this podcast couple 898 00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:26,280 Speaker 1: of days a week. It's been a lot of fun. Shoot, 899 00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:29,839 Speaker 1: I'm currently doing a football camp thing with the Shanahans 900 00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:34,279 Speaker 1: and Sean McVay called the Quarterback Collective. We're basically getting 901 00:40:34,280 --> 00:40:35,759 Speaker 1: all the best quarterbacks in the country. You want to 902 00:40:35,760 --> 00:40:37,480 Speaker 1: teach them be pros. You want to teach them you 903 00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:40,719 Speaker 1: know the Shanahan McVay offense. You know where I said, 904 00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:43,319 Speaker 1: I just a good quarterback can really understand the game 905 00:40:43,760 --> 00:40:46,640 Speaker 1: and become a really good player, Kyle. These high school kids, 906 00:40:46,640 --> 00:40:48,520 Speaker 1: a lot of them best ones in the country. They're 907 00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:50,799 Speaker 1: never under center. A lot of these palace guys never 908 00:40:50,920 --> 00:40:53,360 Speaker 1: under center. You go to the NFL, you better understand 909 00:40:53,360 --> 00:40:56,560 Speaker 1: play action, you better understand the bootleg game. While these 910 00:40:56,600 --> 00:40:58,560 Speaker 1: kids have never done that, takes them while to assimilate 911 00:40:58,600 --> 00:40:59,759 Speaker 1: to that. So we want to give it to him 912 00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:01,799 Speaker 1: in high school. So that's that's a new thing we're 913 00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:04,600 Speaker 1: doing here called the Quarterback collective. I'm working on two 914 00:41:04,600 --> 00:41:07,719 Speaker 1: different Haiti projects. Just through a big backyard party to 915 00:41:07,960 --> 00:41:11,439 Speaker 1: raise about fourteen thousand dollars for my friends nonprofit called 916 00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:17,000 Speaker 1: FIDAHS an FIDA, the Foundation for International Development Assistance h 917 00:41:17,040 --> 00:41:18,680 Speaker 1: that they teach them.

And they're making these things for Haiti. 926 00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:47,680 Speaker 1: They're making these things for refugees all over the world. 927 00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:49,640 Speaker 1: I'm sure to a part of their team to try 928 00:41:49,640 --> 00:41:52,520 Speaker 1: to get the word out. And that's an extremely exciting project. 929 00:41:52,640 --> 00:41:55,480 Speaker 1: Lately I've been working on so uh yeah. Besides all that, 930 00:41:55,560 --> 00:41:57,800 Speaker 1: I'm raising three kids and and trying to get a 931 00:41:57,840 --> 00:42:00,440 Speaker 1: little pool time and trying to enjoy myself usually get 932 00:42:00,480 --> 00:42:03,200 Speaker 1: a little work out in and occasionally get to train 933 00:42:03,280 --> 00:42:05,200 Speaker 1: some local kids around here, which a lot of fun 934 00:42:06,040 --> 00:42:07,319 Speaker 1: be on the other side of that thing, not just 935 00:42:07,320 --> 00:42:09,399 Speaker 1: being a player, but actually being a coach and trying 936 00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:11,440 Speaker 1: to get back and teach these high school kids the 937 00:42:11,520 --> 00:42:15,000 Speaker 1: proper footwork and mechanics and even sometimes the exit and 938 00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:16,759 Speaker 1: others of the game helped them run the game even 939 00:42:16,840 --> 00:42:19,800 Speaker 1: in high school.
