1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:04,600
Speaker 1: Welcome into Texans All Access. On a Friday evening in

2
00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:07,080
Speaker 1: the Honday Texans Radio studio, I'm dpc Doo, joined by

3
00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:10,360
Speaker 1: Mark Vandermere and Mark I'm so excited because this is

4
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:14,120
Speaker 1: the last weekend before football that's right in Houston. Like

5
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:18,040
Speaker 1: this is it. We're gonna be sweating constantly in about

6
00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:21,959
Speaker 1: six days. We're sweating constantly already, but we'll actually be

7
00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:26,319
Speaker 1: covering players out there on the practice fields. We'll have

8
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:29,320
Speaker 1: training camp, the players actually report. Rookies report as soon

9
00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:31,800
Speaker 1: as Monday. Veterans will be here on Wednesday, and then

10
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:34,120
Speaker 1: the first practice is Thursday, and then we're off. It's

11
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:36,040
Speaker 1: such a great time of year because once they hit

12
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:38,320
Speaker 1: that practice field, you know, in six weeks they're playing

13
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:40,800
Speaker 1: for real in the regular season. You have these preseason

14
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 1: games which I liken to or dervs to the regular season.

15
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:45,559
Speaker 1: You know, I'm in the oppressed minority of people who

16
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:49,040
Speaker 1: absolutely love the preseason. I know some people say they don't,

17
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 1: but the TV ratings don't show that they're always outstanding

18
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:55,000
Speaker 1: for preseason games. They outrate NBA and MLB playoffs. So

19
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:58,240
Speaker 1: clearly there's a thirst for it, and thirst is a

20
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 1: big word. This top of year in Houston. Well, I

21
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 1: think everyone's looking forward to it. It's next week, Yes,

22
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:04,960
Speaker 1: it is. And you know, I think with the preseason games,

23
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 1: we get so many questions about how players look. We

24
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 1: actually did an Arctic Cooler talk earlier today on Facebook

25
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:12,840
Speaker 1: and we had so many questions on how does the

26
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 1: old line look, how does Deonte Foreman look you, how

27
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 1: does this player look? How does that player look? And

28
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:19,760
Speaker 1: I think that's why the preseason games are great because

29
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:22,319
Speaker 1: these players that you've never seen in a Texans uniform,

30
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:24,760
Speaker 1: like the rookies, you get to see them out in

31
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 1: real action, even though it's not for a long period

32
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:31,039
Speaker 1: of time sometimes or they're playing different positions and what

33
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 1: you may see them playing during the regular season. It's

34
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 1: just good to lay your eyes on these guys for

35
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 1: the first time. And I know not everyone can come

36
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:40,119
Speaker 1: to these Texans training camp open practices at the Houston

37
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 1: Methodist Training Center, but a number of people can and

38
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 1: they tweet stuff out so you feel like, and I

39
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 1: know we've showed some stuff about OTAs, but it's been

40
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 1: very tight shots and you know, beauty shots we call them.

41
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 1: It's cool stuff. But you're right in that, you know,

42
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:57,000
Speaker 1: We've been looking at some of these guys for a

43
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:00,160
Speaker 1: while now and no one's seen them yet. You know,

44
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 1: the first time people most people see Kahale Wearing or

45
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 1: whoever will be in a preseason game. So that makes

46
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:10,800
Speaker 1: them very notable these preseason games. And I think for people,

47
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 1: maybe not so much for Wearing as the third round

48
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 1: raft choice. You like his chances to do something and

49
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 1: contribute to the team. But some of the undrafted guys,

50
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 1: those storylines, how hard they work to try to make

51
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:23,800
Speaker 1: a fifty three man roster, That to me is the

52
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:26,519
Speaker 1: real drama in these preseason games. I know we promote

53
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 1: guys like Deshaun Watson and JJ Watts. Sometimes they play,

54
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 1: sometimes they don't, whatever, But it's the other guys who

55
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:34,640
Speaker 1: are going to make up that back end of the

56
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:36,920
Speaker 1: fifty three that's so important to whether you win or lose.

57
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 1: Those are the stories that I think are really compelling

58
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:41,799
Speaker 1: throughout the preseason and training camps. So I'm looking for

59
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to all of it, but I think

60
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 1: it's gonna be good stuff. And like always, it wouldn't

61
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 1: be a Bill O'Brian training camp if we didn't have

62
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:50,919
Speaker 1: joint practices. So we'll have those again. First two will

63
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 1: be up in Green Bay with against the Packers, which

64
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 1: leads into that first preseason game up in Wisconsin. And

65
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 1: then that's Monday, August than August sixth, and then a

66
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:05,239
Speaker 1: few weeks later August fourteenth, fifteenth, the Lions down here.

67
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 1: I saw a tweet yes one week later, actually not

68
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 1: a few weeks later. I'm in a few days later,

69
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 1: but you know how it goes in training camp, all

70
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 1: the days sort of blend together. But yesterday the Green

71
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:18,920
Speaker 1: Bay Press Gazette a writer by the name of rich Ryman.

72
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:22,360
Speaker 1: He he tweeted out that the Houston Texans players will

73
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 1: actually be riding bicycles alongside the Packers when the team's

74
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 1: practice together up there in Green Bay. And that's via

75
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 1: Packers president Mark Murphy, who said all the kids should

76
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 1: also come out, and J. J. Watt tweeted back with

77
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 1: a very excited drake, can't you imagine? I have a

78
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 1: lot of questions about this because of reading about it,

79
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 1: it sounds like that it's not like they just give

80
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 1: players bikes to ride. The players ride the bikes of

81
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 1: the kids, right, So I the question is, okay, so

82
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 1: you get a bike from a kid, and then you

83
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 1: ride it to practice, and what happens to the kid

84
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 1: who's now bike list? He just the kids alongside you. Yeah,

85
00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 1: I think that's what happens, because the kid's not going

86
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 1: to lose his bike. You have to you can't lose

87
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 1: the kid. The players not stealing the kid's bike. It's mine.

88
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 1: Now want to make sure everybody gets their bike back.

89
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 1: And how will the kids get there? But I guess

90
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 1: it's a it's a nice bondie. I think the kids

91
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 1: will run, get the bike, bring it back. So another player.

92
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 1: I've never been there, but I've seen it, you know.

93
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 1: And it's funny because when we're at the Greenbrier for

94
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 1: two years, I borrowed a Yeah, I borrowed a bike,

95
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 1: and I said, this is my lambeau Field experience, even

96
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 1: though I've never been there, but this is my Green

97
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:31,719
Speaker 1: Bay training camp experience. I loved riding a bike around

98
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 1: White Sulfur Springs, West Virginia. I thought it was a blast.

99
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 1: You know, the weather was great. I was riding a bike.

100
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 1: It was training camp. I mean, this is awesome. This

101
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:43,720
Speaker 1: is really unique. But lambeau Field, that's the real deal.

102
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 1: That's how that tradition got started, So I'm looking forward

103
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:49,599
Speaker 1: to seeing how they handle it. Watt is gonna go nuts.

104
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 1: His inner child will be beaming, and the rest of

105
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:54,360
Speaker 1: the players as well. You know, can you imagine Jordan

106
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:56,719
Speaker 1: Thomas on a bike. He's gonna eat that up. He's humongous,

107
00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:59,360
Speaker 1: he's gonna crush. He's gonna break some poor child's bike.

108
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 1: It's too bad. I think it's gonna be a lot

109
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 1: of fun. I think JJ wat up in green Bay.

110
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:05,039
Speaker 1: The last time the Texans were up in Green Bay.

111
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 1: He obviously wasn't playing. He was hurt that year. But

112
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:09,040
Speaker 1: to see him back up in Wisconsin, I know he's

113
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 1: so excited about it. I think the media surrounding JJ.

114
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:15,359
Speaker 1: You know, if he's active during those practices, which he

115
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:17,600
Speaker 1: will be, he will be. I think, if anything, he's

116
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:20,720
Speaker 1: more active during the practices. That's only the first preseason game.

117
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 1: He might not even play in that one, but the

118
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:25,839
Speaker 1: practices he'll be out there if healthy, and he'd better

119
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 1: be so he'll be healthy. And I'm just curious to see.

120
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 1: I want to just look at Bill O'Brien's face when

121
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:34,839
Speaker 1: all this bike riding stuff is going down. Do you

122
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 1: think do you think he gets on a bike. No,

123
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:41,599
Speaker 1: I think he might. I think he might because he's

124
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:45,920
Speaker 1: very into team building and doing things really good with

125
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 1: the kids and the fans. Do they ride bikes after

126
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:52,040
Speaker 1: practice at all? Because if they do, if he was

127
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 1: in a really good mood, they had a good practice,

128
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 1: everybody stayed healthy throughout. I could see a possibility of

129
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 1: that happening. But on the way to practice, I would

130
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 1: put it no shot ninety nine point nine percent chance

131
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:07,360
Speaker 1: that he does not ride a bike two prectice. He's

132
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:09,720
Speaker 1: got to get the practice. So what difference do they

133
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:11,720
Speaker 1: walk from wherever? I look? I don't know the layout.

134
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:13,359
Speaker 1: I've just seen some of the shots, you know, so

135
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 1: I don't really know how it goes. But I just

136
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:19,160
Speaker 1: want to see the look on his I think he

137
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:21,920
Speaker 1: understands what kind of tradition that is. So obviously because

138
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 1: the Texans have agreed to do it, so I'm sure

139
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,159
Speaker 1: it's not. Yeah, but we didn't release that, did we.

140
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:30,799
Speaker 1: I mean, this is no came out breaking news from Lambeaux.

141
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 1: The Texans will be able to ride kids bikes. It's

142
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 1: just like a little stretch. It's like a few is

143
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 1: it one hundred yards or fifty yards? It's not a

144
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:41,920
Speaker 1: long stretch that they ride the bike. It's not like

145
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,920
Speaker 1: they're riding the bike from Milwaukee up to Green Bay

146
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,279
Speaker 1: or something. Now, I think that that'd be quite a

147
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:49,799
Speaker 1: warm up toward the front. It's a good activation period

148
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:53,279
Speaker 1: though it's muscles. Hey, that's it. We're talking on cooler

149
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 1: talking about no more four square. Maybe this replaces maybe

150
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 1: this replaces it. Speaking, we had a lot of great

151
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:01,360
Speaker 1: questions come in earlier, so I think the one that

152
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 1: you know, I thought we should hit some of those

153
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 1: questions for the people that aren't on Facebook that didn't

154
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:07,479
Speaker 1: get a chance to catch some of the questions that

155
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 1: we're asked, because we have some good ones every Friday.

156
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 1: I think the first one was how is the O

157
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 1: line looking? Yeah, I did not answer that considering they

158
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 1: haven't practiced yet. Well, they we haven't seen them yet.

159
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 1: So they sperimented with the lineup and OTAs they were

160
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 1: doing some different things, mixing and matching and such. And

161
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 1: I think whatever lineup they start out with opening day

162
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 1: of camp is certainly not necessarily what they're going to

163
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 1: start out with against New Orleans. And I was talking

164
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 1: about this with the morning guys today that yeah, I

165
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 1: think it's week three, because they asked me, when do

166
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 1: you think they have to get it together. I really

167
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 1: think it's week three against Dallas. That week will be

168
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 1: no joint practices, right that third preseason game. That's sort

169
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 1: of the pseudo game plan week, the faux game plan week.

170
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 1: You want to stimulate that, and I believe that they'll

171
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 1: want they will want. Ideally they're starting five determined by then,

172
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 1: and I don't know. This is just me hypothesizing, so

173
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 1: they can game plan for the Cowboys and get them

174
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 1: out there for a couple of series, maybe more, and

175
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 1: then out just get ready for the opener. After that.

176
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 1: They won't play in week four. That's starting five, and

177
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 1: they'll be ready to go. So let's see if it

178
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 1: transpires that way. I still believe there's some experimentation that

179
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 1: could take place these first two three weeks of camp.

180
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:20,320
Speaker 1: But maybe they have their five determined and they want

181
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 1: to ride or die with them. See how it goes.

182
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 1: Maybe not. I still think at that left tackle spot,

183
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 1: if I had to pick one today, it'd be Julian

184
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 1: and Davenport. But that's just me. Matt Khalil want to

185
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 1: see him healthy. Maybe he's out there. Maybe he here

186
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:33,720
Speaker 1: in the spot. Hey, maybe it is the rookie Howard.

187
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 1: I think I've said it all offseason. They have options,

188
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:40,440
Speaker 1: They've got some opportunities there for some people who grabs

189
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 1: that ring. I know that Davenport wants who doesn't want

190
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 1: to play, who doesn't want to start, So I'm eager

191
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:48,199
Speaker 1: to see that competition with everybody else. But maybe they

192
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:51,679
Speaker 1: have this more figured out than we think at this point.

193
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:53,559
Speaker 1: And as far as how they're looking right now, look,

194
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:56,880
Speaker 1: they haven't reported yet, so I'll let you know next week. Yeah,

195
00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:58,720
Speaker 1: And I think especially after they put the pads on

196
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:00,680
Speaker 1: for the first time, because while the stuff has a

197
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:03,079
Speaker 1: I would imagine a pretty good idea of who's going

198
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:04,959
Speaker 1: to fit, where the real test is going to be

199
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 1: when they put the pads on and to see if

200
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 1: they can execute what they've been working on all offseason.

201
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:11,079
Speaker 1: They've been working on their communication and their fundamentals and

202
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:12,640
Speaker 1: their footwork and all that. But for a lot of

203
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 1: these guys who haven't played college or who haven't played

204
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 1: football since a long time before the whole draft process began,

205
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 1: that'll be the true test. And that leads us into

206
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 1: the next question, which was how does Deonta Foreman look

207
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:28,080
Speaker 1: this offseason and I have to say great, because, hey,

208
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 1: he's out there. He's healthy, which we had not seen

209
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 1: last year. And he'd been putting up videos on his

210
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 1: Instagram of him working out and doing drills and he

211
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 1: really looks leaner and quicker and agile. And he said

212
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:44,840
Speaker 1: as much in his press conference during OTAs. He said,

213
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 1: this is probably the best he's felt since probably high school.

214
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 1: And how outstanding is that? Really? What a great thing

215
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:52,600
Speaker 1: to hear. You're entering year three of your pro career,

216
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:54,120
Speaker 1: which is the year you got to do it right.

217
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 1: That's the year that's going to determine whether you're able

218
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 1: to stick around for a little bit longer in this league.

219
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:01,319
Speaker 1: And I think that he's all sorts of abilities, so

220
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:04,079
Speaker 1: health means so much, and they need him and he

221
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 1: needs that. Everybody needs each other. But when you look

222
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 1: at the running back position group, Lamar Miller has been

223
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:11,959
Speaker 1: so reliable, you have to have depth there. You have

224
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:15,080
Speaker 1: to have at least three guys. So Foreman, yes, but

225
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 1: who's that third guy going to be? I think that's

226
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:19,680
Speaker 1: another great question going into camp. I think that's a

227
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:23,359
Speaker 1: position to watch, and certainly Bill O'Brien said Josh Ferguson

228
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:25,439
Speaker 1: towards the end of mini game. Yeah, I think Josh

229
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 1: has a great shot, he's got speed, He's been around,

230
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 1: he's been a pro for a while now. He hasn't

231
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 1: played a ton, but he's practiced a lot, and he's

232
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:36,680
Speaker 1: been in multiple systems and he's quick. I just and

233
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 1: I love talking to him, But that doesn't mean anything,

234
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 1: you know, Like I want the best interviews to make

235
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 1: the team, please, I want to win, But he's one

236
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:46,440
Speaker 1: of them. He's a great interview and I really look

237
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:48,559
Speaker 1: forward to seeing what he's gonna do to Mario Crockett.

238
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 1: That's Johnny's fave, you know, the rookie from Missouri. He's

239
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 1: a guy who really sort of emerged quickly as a

240
00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 1: college player, got hurt, and we talked about him last night.

241
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:02,679
Speaker 1: Just has that look about him, and there are a

242
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 1: bunch of other guys in the mix. That's a position

243
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:07,400
Speaker 1: to watch. Like you said, I think that that could

244
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:09,079
Speaker 1: be deeper than you think, but they all got to

245
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 1: prove it. Coron Higden, who we didn't see much of

246
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:13,559
Speaker 1: this this offseason, it'd be nice to get a good

247
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 1: look at him, and also I love his college tape,

248
00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:18,440
Speaker 1: but you know, that doesn't mean everything, well that really

249
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 1: means anything sometimes, but it looks good from you know

250
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:23,600
Speaker 1: from Wolverine Land, what he's able to do up there,

251
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:26,559
Speaker 1: right and the bet what does Spencer? Someone always say

252
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:30,720
Speaker 1: the best the best ability is availability. Yeah, he does

253
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:32,840
Speaker 1: a lot of those. He's got a lot of those.

254
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 1: And Betty Howell also a great interview. Who yeah, body

255
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:38,439
Speaker 1: talk to him. He's not going to rep as running back.

256
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:40,960
Speaker 1: He does great things on special teams, but he's also

257
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 1: very hungry. He seemed like he got he got some

258
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:45,559
Speaker 1: reps there at running back too, And I don't know

259
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 1: if that was because just the opportunities there, you know,

260
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 1: with all the mix of players, or if there's a

261
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:53,600
Speaker 1: real shot for him as well. I have no idea

262
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:56,320
Speaker 1: how to judge special teams in training camp, but I

263
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 1: know these guys, it's it's gonna be about those games,

264
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:02,280
Speaker 1: those preseason games, because think about who they picked up

265
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 1: last year at the waiver wire or after the waivers

266
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:08,680
Speaker 1: took place following or they know the waves took place

267
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 1: following that fourth preseason game. They fortified on special teams

268
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:16,200
Speaker 1: and became second in the league in most important statistical categories.

269
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 1: So to them. This is huge, you know, to be

270
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 1: able to prove that you have to stay. You want

271
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,160
Speaker 1: to stay, Buddy how A, J Moore. These guys who

272
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 1: are great on special teams. So let me see what

273
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:30,320
Speaker 1: you can do this year. It's the more you can

274
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 1: do though. I mean how said in this studio, I'll

275
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:34,920
Speaker 1: take care if you give it to me. But I

276
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:36,679
Speaker 1: know what I need to do here to make this team,

277
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:39,960
Speaker 1: and that's special teams. So they could use the depth

278
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:42,600
Speaker 1: at running back. Colin Glaspia, how does he fit in?

279
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:46,199
Speaker 1: Rookie from Texas A and M. He's a special teams guy, yeah,

280
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 1: but he's got to be able to play some running back,

281
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:50,959
Speaker 1: some fullback for this team. And he's not that prototypical

282
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:54,600
Speaker 1: Jay Prosh type fullback. So I just think there are

283
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:56,840
Speaker 1: a lot of interesting things that can happen in the backfield.

284
00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:59,280
Speaker 1: What do you think about the fans when Colin Glaspia

285
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:01,959
Speaker 1: takes a few over camp. I think he's got quite

286
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:04,720
Speaker 1: a he's got quite a fan following. Yeah, it's gonna

287
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:07,560
Speaker 1: be nuts because not only is people a lot of

288
00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 1: Aggie's around, but he's a Houstonian, you know, so whether

289
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:12,960
Speaker 1: you're Longhorn, Aggie cougar or whatever. You see a local

290
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:15,480
Speaker 1: guy from Katie out there and you want to you

291
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:19,720
Speaker 1: want to give him your best support. I played golf

292
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:24,560
Speaker 1: with his uncle Galveston. Yeah, it recently happens stance. Yeah,

293
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:26,559
Speaker 1: met up with a twosome on the chorus. I was

294
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:28,960
Speaker 1: with my father in law, and all of a sudden,

295
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:32,440
Speaker 1: it's his uncle, Mike Klinicky, who coached basketball down at

296
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 1: Galveston Ball and his son Jordan, and uh and Jordan

297
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:41,400
Speaker 1: finally reveals nine holes in. Hey, my cousin's on the team,

298
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 1: like what So then we started talking about the Glaspia family.

299
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:46,959
Speaker 1: So it was kind of interesting that way. What what

300
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:50,920
Speaker 1: a small world, small world, small Houston, maybe not small Houston.

301
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:54,760
Speaker 1: All right, another big question coming up Clowney. What's going

302
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:56,800
Speaker 1: to happen with him? Any updates on him? I know

303
00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:59,720
Speaker 1: that also came up in cooler talk, that deadline passed

304
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 1: and he's got to play under the franchise tag. He

305
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 1: hasn't signed the tender and when he reports, he'll sign it.

306
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:07,160
Speaker 1: And when he reports could be next week, could be

307
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 1: a little bit later. We'll see. But look, I gotta

308
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:12,319
Speaker 1: think this is just me. I gotta think he's gonna play,

309
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:14,520
Speaker 1: So let's get him out here and see what happens,

310
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:18,400
Speaker 1: because you know they need him and everybody. I always

311
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:22,760
Speaker 1: say this about professional sports and failing to come to

312
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 1: an agreement, or coming to an agreement, or reports of

313
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:27,800
Speaker 1: people not getting along. I'm not even talking about here.

314
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 1: I'm talking about in general and pro sports. It's in

315
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:35,160
Speaker 1: everybody's best interests that the team wins, right, The organization's

316
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 1: gotta win, and all boats rise with that time. All

317
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:43,160
Speaker 1: careers are helped by winning. And it would certainly behoove

318
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 1: everybody if Clowne was here doing his thing. Yeah, and

319
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 1: if he's not, obviously you get the guys that get

320
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 1: a lot more reps without him here. And Brendan Scarlett,

321
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:51,240
Speaker 1: you got Whitney Merciless, you got a number of guys

322
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 1: that you get to really sign. Davin Bellamy who you

323
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 1: get to get a good look at, because if Clownie's

324
00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:58,560
Speaker 1: not out there, someone's taking those reps and that really

325
00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 1: kind of helps out all those guys just get a

326
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 1: little extra, get a few extra reps on film. That's

327
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 1: a good point, man, it's a good point. I really

328
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:09,240
Speaker 1: feel bad about Duke Edge four not being able to

329
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:11,200
Speaker 1: be a part of this thing because he's on the

330
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 1: mend for this season. But you got you do have

331
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 1: some interesting prospects promise last year. But if Clowney's not

332
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 1: out there, you are thin in a big hurry with

333
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 1: Scarlet Merciless. Great, okay, good, but you get thin really

334
00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:28,080
Speaker 1: quickly behind that, and you have a lot of people

335
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:29,880
Speaker 1: who want to prove themselves. Let's see if they can

336
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:31,800
Speaker 1: do it. Another guy that's going to prove himself Peter

337
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 1: Callum Bay. We've got him coming up next with Drew Doherty.

338
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:37,080
Speaker 1: Also Aaron Colvin. What does he expect in his second

339
00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:39,120
Speaker 1: year with the Texans. We'll get to some more of

340
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:41,840
Speaker 1: your Arctic cooler talk questions with Mark, and then later

341
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:45,000
Speaker 1: on I go deep slant with Drew Doherty if we

342
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 1: get to know him a little bit better in a

343
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:48,800
Speaker 1: way that you have him before. So oh, take a

344
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:51,600
Speaker 1: deep dive Withdrew. That's all coming up on Texans All Access,

345
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:55,520
Speaker 1: Don't Go Anywhere. Welcome back to Texans All Access. Mark

346
00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:58,280
Speaker 1: VanderMeer and DPC tod with you once again. We've got

347
00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 1: some great interviews coming up in this segment. But first, Marcus,

348
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 1: a little bit of newsdrop today from the Houston Texans.

349
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 1: I know we get asked about the schedule a lot

350
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 1: and what's coming up for the season, but the home themes,

351
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 1: the home game themes just came out this week. I

352
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 1: know you love talking about battle Red and Deep Steel

353
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:19,720
Speaker 1: Blue and Liberty White. So let's discuss what the Houston

354
00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:21,880
Speaker 1: Texans what you should be wearing for the games. Because

355
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 1: people always want to know what uniforms are the players wearing.

356
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:30,280
Speaker 1: That's a popular question. I really do. I love knowing

357
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:33,640
Speaker 1: this stuff. And it's funny because I'm looking at it

358
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:38,880
Speaker 1: right now and you look at battle Red Day and

359
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:42,160
Speaker 1: Deep Steal Sunday and some of these great themes. Look,

360
00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:45,080
Speaker 1: I wrote an article about the very first battle Red

361
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:48,920
Speaker 1: Day and how this stuff came about, and Jamie Roots said,

362
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:50,960
Speaker 1: you know, game Day is great. There's no question that

363
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:53,760
Speaker 1: Game Day is an event. But you make it even

364
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 1: more of an event. You make it a special day

365
00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 1: unto itself. This particular Sunday's battle Red Day last year

366
00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:02,240
Speaker 1: it was Flow for instance, and we just watched the

367
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:04,959
Speaker 1: highlight reel the other day. It's special to do it

368
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:06,639
Speaker 1: this way, and it kind of gives the fans a

369
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:09,040
Speaker 1: little something extra when they go to the game, think

370
00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 1: about and I love the opening. The opening game home

371
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:14,480
Speaker 1: game is usually Liberty white out, No no change. This

372
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:17,680
Speaker 1: year Sunday, September fifteenth, the Liberty White Out game person

373
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:20,479
Speaker 1: by BHP. That'll be against the Jacksonville Jaguars. I love

374
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 1: when they wear their different uniforms. I love the color

375
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:26,880
Speaker 1: Rush uniforms, which we're gonna see again. But as far

376
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:29,160
Speaker 1: as the themes go, all right, read them off. Okay,

377
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:34,120
Speaker 1: So Liberty white obviously that game and then the homecoming

378
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 1: game Sunday's October twenty seventh against the Oakland Raiders. Then

379
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:41,560
Speaker 1: Thursday Night Football against Indianapolis Colts. That'll be the Salute

380
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:45,399
Speaker 1: to Service game. Sunday, December one. It'll be Deep Steal

381
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:49,120
Speaker 1: Sunday against the New England Patriots for Sunday Night Football.

382
00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:51,800
Speaker 1: All right, a lot of blue, that's a lot of blue.

383
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:54,480
Speaker 1: No no, but the Patriots are in their white with

384
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:57,960
Speaker 1: the silver. Yeah, that's what it is. I like this

385
00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 1: Deep Steal Sunday. Good a Kid's Day celebration Play sixty

386
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:07,240
Speaker 1: presented by Texas Children's Hospitals on Sunday, September twenty ninth.

387
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:11,040
Speaker 1: Pink Ribbon Day presented by Kroeger Sunday, October sixth against

388
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:14,080
Speaker 1: the Atlanta Falcons and battle Red Day versus Denver Broncos

389
00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:17,320
Speaker 1: on Sunday December eight That's a little different because usually

390
00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:20,119
Speaker 1: we see Deep Steal Sunday a little bit later on

391
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:22,720
Speaker 1: in the season. You see that in December this year

392
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:27,359
Speaker 1: if it's a battle Red so fan appreciation Day, that's

393
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:30,159
Speaker 1: as always. The final regular season game on Sunday, December

394
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:33,480
Speaker 1: twenty ninth against the Titans, and that'll that'll be your

395
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:37,359
Speaker 1: your home game. Themes looking forward to it. I have

396
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:39,959
Speaker 1: to get a battle red blazer. Okay, I'm gonna get

397
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:42,280
Speaker 1: a battle red sport coat this year, and I know

398
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:44,800
Speaker 1: just where to get it. I'm not going to reveal it,

399
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 1: give it to me. You want it, I think I

400
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:50,080
Speaker 1: think you should be. And you're very picky on your

401
00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:52,360
Speaker 1: battle red, like it can't be too red or two.

402
00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:53,879
Speaker 1: It's got to beat the right battle red. I mean,

403
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:57,159
Speaker 1: the Texans have an official color number, code or whatever

404
00:18:57,320 --> 00:18:59,359
Speaker 1: for battle red. Now I'm sure I have a little

405
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:02,320
Speaker 1: leeway here. It's a blazer, okay, I mean mister McNair

406
00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:04,439
Speaker 1: used to wear a red blazer that wasn't exactly the

407
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:06,920
Speaker 1: official color, but it was red enough, you know, so

408
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:09,680
Speaker 1: it has to be like that Liberty white. I don't

409
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:11,280
Speaker 1: want to come up with the Liberty white suit because

410
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 1: I'm gonna look like mister Rourke on Fantasy Island smiles

411
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:16,840
Speaker 1: everyone I do. I like the themes. I like the

412
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:19,399
Speaker 1: fact that everybody's wearing the same color, and it adds

413
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:21,240
Speaker 1: a little something extra for those games, makes it a

414
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:23,199
Speaker 1: little bit special. And I think the players really like

415
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:26,280
Speaker 1: wearing their different uniforms. They love the red, you know this.

416
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:29,560
Speaker 1: I love the all red, but I love the all blue.

417
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:31,639
Speaker 1: But sometimes the red with the white pants or the

418
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:33,960
Speaker 1: red with the blue pants. Which one will it be? Now?

419
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:37,680
Speaker 1: Jamie Roots told me that Deep wasn't Deep Steel Sudding.

420
00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:40,879
Speaker 1: The very first game in Texans history was. It was

421
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:44,440
Speaker 1: not Liberty White kickoff. It was the Texans versus the Cowboys.

422
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:48,160
Speaker 1: The official Texans home uniform, if there's not a theme

423
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:52,200
Speaker 1: day is deep steel blue jersey with Liberty white pants. Right.

424
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:56,480
Speaker 1: But that game was white shirt, blue pants because we

425
00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:59,680
Speaker 1: wanted the Cowboys out of there all white or white

426
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 1: ops and you know those silvery blue paths that they were,

427
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:07,920
Speaker 1: and it worked. So there, hey, hey, it's got to

428
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:09,600
Speaker 1: throw them off. See that he had their road blue

429
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:13,239
Speaker 1: jerseys Charlie Castle yep. But actually coming up next, we

430
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:15,920
Speaker 1: don't have Charlie Castle. We have Peter Kellimbay, who did

431
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 1: some great things last year as a rookie. Looking forward

432
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:20,239
Speaker 1: to seeing what he does in year two. Last year,

433
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:22,640
Speaker 1: you finished with five total tackles on defense and eight

434
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:26,359
Speaker 1: special teams tackles in his fifteen regular season games as

435
00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:28,880
Speaker 1: a rookie. He sat down with Druid Doherty to talk

436
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:31,920
Speaker 1: about what he expects this year. Coverage units last year

437
00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:34,760
Speaker 1: were amazing, one of the best in the league, and

438
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:37,000
Speaker 1: that was not always a case around here. Detectives had

439
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:39,080
Speaker 1: struggled with that in the past. You were one of

440
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:41,359
Speaker 1: the leaders in special teams tackles. How much pride did

441
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:42,920
Speaker 1: you take in that. I kind of knew that was

442
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 1: going to be my role going into this season, and

443
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:48,120
Speaker 1: in college at Stanford, my coach Pete Alamar he also

444
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:50,600
Speaker 1: took special teams very serious and we had a pretty

445
00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:53,840
Speaker 1: expensive special teams playbook. So the transition was pretty smooth

446
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:56,280
Speaker 1: coming from college to NFL turns to special teams, and

447
00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:59,399
Speaker 1: I've always really loved and enjoyed special teams. I played

448
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 1: on kickoffs team all four years. While I was in college,

449
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 1: I stayed in the depth for special teams, so I

450
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:05,960
Speaker 1: get for all the other special teams, so I get

451
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:08,480
Speaker 1: reps at it in practice. So I was just excited

452
00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:10,280
Speaker 1: to kind of finally be able to playoff for in

453
00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:12,680
Speaker 1: a game and just excited to get out there. How

454
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:14,399
Speaker 1: crazy do you have to be though, when you're screaming

455
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:16,280
Speaker 1: down the field trying to make a tackle. No, we

456
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:18,240
Speaker 1: all got a little screw loose. But it's fun. It's

457
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:20,680
Speaker 1: fun out there, you know, because it's really effort and

458
00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:23,760
Speaker 1: hustle and a bunch of free athletes, so big collisions

459
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:26,639
Speaker 1: kind of like car collisions out there. But it's just

460
00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:28,240
Speaker 1: the rush you get when you make a play on

461
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:31,040
Speaker 1: special teams. It's kind of unparalleled because you only get

462
00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:33,919
Speaker 1: one shot. It's one play and everybody's watching, and I

463
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:35,720
Speaker 1: love it. It's fun. We're talking with Buddy, we're talking

464
00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:38,639
Speaker 1: with AJ before you and they said, right before you know, play,

465
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:40,760
Speaker 1: when y'all go out there, you're all saying, I'm gonna

466
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:42,119
Speaker 1: be the guy to get some rout you know, like

467
00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:45,320
Speaker 1: there's a competition. What's that like? Knowing that that camaraderie's

468
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:47,880
Speaker 1: there and knowing that you all are embracing that role

469
00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:50,400
Speaker 1: for that play. Yeah, especially on the kickoff team. When

470
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 1: we're lined up, there's normally quite a bit of time

471
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:55,280
Speaker 1: before ball has actually clicked, whether it's a TV a

472
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:58,120
Speaker 1: commercial break, or whatever the case may be. So we're

473
00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:00,280
Speaker 1: out there and we're all just getting each other apple up.

474
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:02,359
Speaker 1: We're yelling at each other. We're like, I'm gonna get

475
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:04,080
Speaker 1: the tackle. Now, I'm gonna get a tackle. I got

476
00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:06,720
Speaker 1: five dollars, who are gonna get the tackle? Anything crazy

477
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:08,640
Speaker 1: like that, Like, it's gonna be me. I was first

478
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:11,160
Speaker 1: last time. You know, if it was a touchback last time,

479
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:13,080
Speaker 1: the person that got down there first will be like

480
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 1: I was first last time. So if it's in, it's

481
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:17,240
Speaker 1: gonna be me this time. And that's pretty much every

482
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:19,400
Speaker 1: kick off the whole season. And it's just it's good

483
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:21,800
Speaker 1: because you know, even if you're feeling some type of way,

484
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:24,200
Speaker 1: you know your teammates are gonna pull you right back

485
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:26,480
Speaker 1: up and get you ready to go. So with all that, mine,

486
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:28,439
Speaker 1: what's your goal this year? What are some of the

487
00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:30,919
Speaker 1: main things you're trying to accomplish this year? I like

488
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:33,480
Speaker 1: to be like a double digit special teams tackler. I

489
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:35,760
Speaker 1: think regular seasons at nine, you know, I want to

490
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:37,879
Speaker 1: get like thirteen fourteen be up there, and then I

491
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:39,880
Speaker 1: want to expand my role on defense and rolling there

492
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:42,760
Speaker 1: more consistently, get reps to every game on the defensive

493
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:44,480
Speaker 1: side of the ball. So those are kind of my

494
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:46,520
Speaker 1: two goals. Gonna be a dog on special teams and

495
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:48,959
Speaker 1: rolling there on defense and show what I can do.

496
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:50,440
Speaker 1: What do you have to do to make that apple

497
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:52,920
Speaker 1: of the defensive part of the equation. I played both

498
00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 1: outside of an inside linebacker, so you know, just gain

499
00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:57,560
Speaker 1: the go to coaches trust that I'm a guy that

500
00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:00,480
Speaker 1: knows everything and they could plug in there whenever and

501
00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:02,600
Speaker 1: just make plays in the preseason. That's really what it

502
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:07,119
Speaker 1: comes down to. I feel like, no, I just got

503
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:12,640
Speaker 1: to say, I you speak French. She picked it up

504
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:14,840
Speaker 1: in high school, though it wasn't like it was spoken

505
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:16,560
Speaker 1: to the home or had that's what you chose to

506
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:18,159
Speaker 1: study and you got good at it home. So my

507
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:20,560
Speaker 1: father he was never there, but he's from Congo and

508
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:23,480
Speaker 1: that's the that's the national language in Congo. So when

509
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:24,919
Speaker 1: I was in high school, I figured it would be

510
00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:26,400
Speaker 1: good to know in case I ever went back there

511
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:28,280
Speaker 1: to meet some of my family or something like that,

512
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:30,760
Speaker 1: and my teachers all told me that I was really

513
00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:33,400
Speaker 1: good at it. So I went to college. I didn't

514
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:35,720
Speaker 1: take it in my freshman year. I took it the

515
00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:37,880
Speaker 1: second year, I took the placement test, and I actually

516
00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:40,720
Speaker 1: without taking it for two years. I placed out of it.

517
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:42,120
Speaker 1: So I was like, you know what, let me take

518
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:45,320
Speaker 1: some classes and I ended up really enjoying the department there.

519
00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:47,719
Speaker 1: They had really good professors over there, so I ended

520
00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:50,600
Speaker 1: up monitoring it actually, and to this day, I'm still

521
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:52,480
Speaker 1: pretty fluent at it. I need to rush up a

522
00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:54,360
Speaker 1: few things because I'm not in the classroom every day

523
00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:57,040
Speaker 1: like I used to be. But if a French person

524
00:23:57,080 --> 00:23:58,840
Speaker 1: walks in here right now, I could have a whole

525
00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 1: conversation with him, and it gives you more excuses to

526
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:03,720
Speaker 1: go to places like France and some of the other

527
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:05,879
Speaker 1: places around the world to speak French right exactly. So

528
00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:08,600
Speaker 1: this next offseason I'll probably go. I don't Justin Reid

529
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:10,520
Speaker 1: and myself we were talking about hitting up France and

530
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:13,400
Speaker 1: England next year, so we might make that happen next year.

531
00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:15,919
Speaker 1: What's it like having three Stanford exes here on the

532
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:18,119
Speaker 1: Texans with you? It's amazing I really have to have

533
00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:20,320
Speaker 1: two teammates. And then Battamosa used to come back and

534
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:22,520
Speaker 1: train in the off season, so I'm very I was

535
00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:24,800
Speaker 1: very familiar with him before I came here. But it's

536
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:27,160
Speaker 1: pretty cool because you know, we'll all sometimes go back

537
00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:29,200
Speaker 1: in the off season, We'll be out there training together,

538
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:31,800
Speaker 1: and we all have that shared experiences. We all kind

539
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:34,280
Speaker 1: of have that same workout work ethic that was kind

540
00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:36,200
Speaker 1: of ingraining us from our way living. The coach back there,

541
00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:39,480
Speaker 1: Shannon Turley, so we all kind of have that same mentality,

542
00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:42,520
Speaker 1: and it's good to see Battamose and Scarlett. It's good

543
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:44,680
Speaker 1: to see how they were able to transition from Stanford

544
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:47,920
Speaker 1: into the NFL. The very detailed guys, the very smart guys.

545
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:50,639
Speaker 1: They always on their jobs, they take care of their bodies.

546
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:53,960
Speaker 1: So kind of glean off them as a rookie last year,

547
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:56,159
Speaker 1: kind of see what they do, see how their routines are.

548
00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:58,280
Speaker 1: So it was just good to have some familiarity and

549
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:00,600
Speaker 1: not be out here all alone because I have no

550
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:02,840
Speaker 1: family out here. He ran bad Emosely, he's like you.

551
00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:04,480
Speaker 1: He grew up in DC. I know you went to

552
00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:06,719
Speaker 1: high school and rolling all that, but he's got some

553
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:09,280
Speaker 1: connections with you. Is he one of the sneakiest funny

554
00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:12,720
Speaker 1: people on the team. Yes, he's very funny sometimes when

555
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:15,119
Speaker 1: he's not trying to be. But bad Emossey is an

556
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:18,480
Speaker 1: interesting character because you know he'll look completely serious when

557
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:20,159
Speaker 1: he's telling you a joke, and you won't know if

558
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:21,960
Speaker 1: he's joking as serious, and then all of a sudden,

559
00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:25,280
Speaker 1: here he got that big grin on his face, and

560
00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:27,280
Speaker 1: you know he's just messing with you. And he does

561
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:29,800
Speaker 1: it to everybody. He does the coaches, he does, the players.

562
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:31,879
Speaker 1: He likes to mess with the rookies. I've seen him

563
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:35,280
Speaker 1: do it with opponents Punk Cover. Yes, he he talks.

564
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:37,320
Speaker 1: He talks a lot out there, and it's fun being

565
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:38,880
Speaker 1: out there on Punk with him, and I'll kick off

566
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:40,960
Speaker 1: with him sometimes will end up playing you. Hear bad

567
00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:44,000
Speaker 1: Emosey john Off is another guy, but he's smart about it.

568
00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:45,959
Speaker 1: You know you won't get any penalties by it, but

569
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:47,879
Speaker 1: you know just enough so they could hear. But the

570
00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:51,320
Speaker 1: rest came last thing. What would ten year old Peter

571
00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:54,000
Speaker 1: Colby think about where you are right now? Ten year

572
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:56,280
Speaker 1: old Peter Collamby would be very excited. Ten year old

573
00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:58,960
Speaker 1: me wanted to either go to the NBA or the NFL,

574
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:01,560
Speaker 1: and I said I was going to do that all

575
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:03,600
Speaker 1: the time. I'm in it now, and I want to

576
00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:05,679
Speaker 1: stay in it because Teddy old me would love to

577
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:07,600
Speaker 1: play with me in the game if I had a

578
00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:10,959
Speaker 1: better rating. So if there's plenty of time for that,

579
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:13,560
Speaker 1: so I'm gonna get it up so a young peach

580
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 1: out there can play with me in the game. That

581
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:18,679
Speaker 1: was Peter Klimby with Drew Doherty. Well, Drew also had

582
00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:21,040
Speaker 1: a chance to sit down with Aaron Colvin, who is

583
00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:24,240
Speaker 1: also in his second season with the Texans, not second

584
00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:27,760
Speaker 1: NFL season, that is. He joined the Texans last year

585
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:30,760
Speaker 1: in free agency, dealt with some injuries during his first

586
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:34,000
Speaker 1: year in twenty eighteen here and has been back, has

587
00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:36,040
Speaker 1: been working on getting healthy and back on the field,

588
00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:38,200
Speaker 1: and he also had a chance to sit down with Drew.

589
00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:40,720
Speaker 1: Here's Aaron Colvin. All right, Well, how excited are you

590
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:43,920
Speaker 1: for twenty nineteen. I'm very excited. I don't want to

591
00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:46,159
Speaker 1: say anxious, but I'm ready to get going. Is it

592
00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:48,760
Speaker 1: nice having a full year in the system and what's

593
00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:51,160
Speaker 1: that mean for you? It's helped a lot, not only

594
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:54,600
Speaker 1: just football wise, but just getting acclimated to the city,

595
00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:57,760
Speaker 1: so I've had a chance to kind of grow understand

596
00:26:58,200 --> 00:26:59,960
Speaker 1: you know, what they want from me, and I'm ready

597
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:01,520
Speaker 1: to go. What do they want from you? But they

598
00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:03,359
Speaker 1: just want me to play fast. They want me to

599
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:05,800
Speaker 1: play with my instincts. Just go out there and play free.

600
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:08,800
Speaker 1: And that's something that you know, I'm focusing on. It

601
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:11,920
Speaker 1: seems like it's something that's easier said than done, right, Yeah,

602
00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:13,920
Speaker 1: you know, with a situation like that, your world has

603
00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:16,960
Speaker 1: to be in order, so things just have to line up.

604
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:20,280
Speaker 1: You have to be aware of, you know, the expectations

605
00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:22,800
Speaker 1: from the coaches, from the staff, from the team, and

606
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:24,840
Speaker 1: you just have to be ready to contribute no matter

607
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:26,720
Speaker 1: you know, what the role is that they ask of me.

608
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:29,360
Speaker 1: There's a lot of new faces in the DB's room too.

609
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:31,040
Speaker 1: What's that been like for you seeing all these new

610
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:33,560
Speaker 1: teammates getting to meet new teammates and you're all pushing

611
00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:35,679
Speaker 1: for the same goal, right, No question. We have a

612
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:38,280
Speaker 1: really good room. We have a lot of veteran leadership

613
00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:39,840
Speaker 1: and we have a lot of you know, younger guys

614
00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:42,000
Speaker 1: who are hungry and ready to work. So um it

615
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:43,760
Speaker 1: all mess as well. I think we're all trying to

616
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:46,560
Speaker 1: figure this thing out together and it makes it more special.

617
00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:49,560
Speaker 1: Who's a teammate that gets you amped up? Honestly, now,

618
00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:52,840
Speaker 1: it's probably to Sean Gibson. Yeah, that's my guy. He

619
00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:56,399
Speaker 1: gets me in his own to where I know, you know,

620
00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:58,520
Speaker 1: I know how he's rocking. You know it's time rocking.

621
00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:00,679
Speaker 1: What did it mean to you to see him come

622
00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:02,560
Speaker 1: to this team and signed with It's really exciting to

623
00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:04,560
Speaker 1: have a guy like him on this team because I

624
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:07,960
Speaker 1: know what he brings and you know what he does,

625
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:09,800
Speaker 1: and his role gets swept under the rug a lot.

626
00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:12,120
Speaker 1: But I think here he's gonna flourish him. You guys

627
00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:14,680
Speaker 1: are gonna love him. We'll be hearing from all these

628
00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:18,120
Speaker 1: guys next week when they report for training camp. Rookies

630
00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:25,080
Speaker 1: with a guy who's entering his eleventh season with the Texans.

631
00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:28,359
Speaker 1: It's none other than Dru Dohorty, Texans TV host. I

632
00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:30,480
Speaker 1: had a chance to sit down and you'll get to

633
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:32,880
Speaker 1: see a side of Drew that you normally don't see

00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:36,560

Speaker 1: That's all coming up next. We can't wait for that

649
00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:21,080
Speaker 1: to get started. But first, here's a guy who's been

650
00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:23,400
Speaker 1: here for quite a while seeing his own fair share

651
00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:25,840
Speaker 1: of training camps, Drew Doherty. I had a chance to

652
00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:28,160
Speaker 1: sit down with the guy that I do a lot

653
00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:31,880
Speaker 1: of shows with, both on radio and on TV, and

654
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:33,440
Speaker 1: you know, we sit next to each other on the

655
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:36,160
Speaker 1: plane on the charters. We were always talking about the

656
00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:39,680
Speaker 1: games in the press box on the road, so I've

657
00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:41,160
Speaker 1: had a chance to really sit down with them, and

658
00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:43,200
Speaker 1: hopefully you get to see a side of him that

659
00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:45,360
Speaker 1: I get to see every day at work. But here

660
00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:47,840
Speaker 1: it is. It's my deep slant interview with Drew Dorty.

661
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:51,400
Speaker 1: He's the host of Texans three sixty Texans Extra Points.

662
00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:54,600
Speaker 1: He hosts Texans Buzz with me. You're the sideline reporter

663
00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:58,120
Speaker 1: for the preseason broadcast, which you're coming up soon. You're

664
00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:01,200
Speaker 1: on the NARG Stadium video boards pregame in halftime, so

665
00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:02,920
Speaker 1: if you got a home game, you see Drew's face

666
00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:07,160
Speaker 1: big and bright and smiling and give you some score.

667
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:08,760
Speaker 1: You got to see your highlights. You know. I give

668
00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:11,840
Speaker 1: the highlights too. You give the highlights League, Yes, you do.

669
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:14,360
Speaker 1: The Cowboys are losing and make sure to accentuate that,

670
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:17,200
Speaker 1: amplify that on the Colts and the Jags of the Titans.

671
00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:18,840
Speaker 1: You love to give those highlights because you love to

672
00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:20,640
Speaker 1: get the crowd riled up for that to voice a

673
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:23,880
Speaker 1: little bit. And the Cowboys, yes, and people people just

674
00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:27,880
Speaker 1: love to hate on the Cowboys. You also host Dear Drew,

675
00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:30,280
Speaker 1: which is taking the nation by storm, which I think

676
00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:31,400
Speaker 1: you have a lot of fun with it. I think

677
00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:32,960
Speaker 1: people see a little bit of the real you in

678
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:37,160
Speaker 1: that some kind of goofy and you know, obviously Texans Radio.

679
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:39,360
Speaker 1: You write for Houston Texans dot Com. I had to

680
00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:40,920
Speaker 1: write everything down because I was afraid of it. I

681
00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:44,200
Speaker 1: was going to forget something. Also, the host of Punto's

682
00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:48,239
Speaker 1: Extra with Laos de los Texans and Rique Vasquez. You know,

683
00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:50,680
Speaker 1: how cool was it you were in Lubbock, you traveled

684
00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:52,320
Speaker 1: sort of all over Texas and then you end up

685
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:54,720
Speaker 1: back here with the Texans in two thousand and nine. Yeah,

686
00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:57,000
Speaker 1: two thousand and nine. It's something yeah, oh nine. It

687
00:30:57,120 --> 00:30:59,800
Speaker 1: was basically ten years ago. In a couple of weeks,

688
00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:02,680
Speaker 1: you know, I moved home. But how cool was that

689
00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:04,240
Speaker 1: it was to come back home and then and then

690
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:05,680
Speaker 1: you get to be with the Texans, which you were

691
00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:07,760
Speaker 1: a little bit removed, right because you were really living

692
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:10,200
Speaker 1: here when the Texans first started playing here. Yeah, you're

693
00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:13,000
Speaker 1: in college. It was awesome. Yeah. When so, I graduated

694
00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:17,360
Speaker 1: high school in ninety six, and really after my sophomore year,

695
00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:20,040
Speaker 1: I didn't pay attention really to the Oilers because I

696
00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:22,840
Speaker 1: think my sophomore year that was the ninety three team

697
00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:26,400
Speaker 1: that they lost in the playoffs to the Chiefs. And

698
00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:29,240
Speaker 1: then they decided we don't need Warren Moon anymore, which

699
00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:31,640
Speaker 1: was dumb, and they fell off a cliff and I, like,

700
00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:34,160
Speaker 1: I just didn't pay attention to him those those last

701
00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:38,040
Speaker 1: few years in Houston, and then they moved when I

702
00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:41,120
Speaker 1: went to college and I was doing college things and

703
00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:44,840
Speaker 1: not really paying attention that much, and so like I

704
00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:49,400
Speaker 1: kind of I remember bits about the Texans. I remember

705
00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:51,200
Speaker 1: when they decided that was what the name was going

706
00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:55,720
Speaker 1: to be. And a couple of years later, I remember,

707
00:31:56,760 --> 00:31:59,200
Speaker 1: you know, they had the unveiling of the jersey. And

708
00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:01,320
Speaker 1: by that point I was working in TV as a

709
00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:04,840
Speaker 1: producer up in Dallas. But the TV station up there

710
00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:07,360
Speaker 1: was covering the entire state of Texas. It was like

711
00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:09,800
Speaker 1: CNN for the state of Texas. But it had a

712
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:14,240
Speaker 1: robust sports department. I mean, every night at six from

713
00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:16,160
Speaker 1: six to seven, we had a sports talk show. It

714
00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:18,000
Speaker 1: was basically a radio call in show, but it was

715
00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:20,720
Speaker 1: on TV and I had I was responsible for booking

716
00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:26,120
Speaker 1: the players, coaches, rioters, just personalities to come on and talk.

717
00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:29,840
Speaker 1: And then at ten thirty we had pretty much a

718
00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:32,720
Speaker 1: mini sports center for covering the entire state. It was awesome.

719
00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:36,000
Speaker 1: It was really good. Television, but nobody saw it. It

720
00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:38,680
Speaker 1: was a it was a phenomenal product, which I'm sure

721
00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:40,680
Speaker 1: there's so many programs out there that are liked that.

722
00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:43,920
Speaker 1: It was a phenomenal of hard working, poor business plan.

723
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:46,320
Speaker 1: It was a lot. It was a lot, a lot

724
00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:49,840
Speaker 1: like what happened here locally with a lot like that.

725
00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:51,680
Speaker 1: So after four years they shut it down. But it

726
00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:55,040
Speaker 1: was a great product, really creative, standard the arc technology,

727
00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:57,880
Speaker 1: but they just we weren't on in any It was

728
00:32:57,880 --> 00:33:00,960
Speaker 1: called t XCN. But anyways, I did all that stuff,

729
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:02,760
Speaker 1: and I remember that's how I kind of got to

730
00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:04,959
Speaker 1: know about the Texans because you would cover that I

731
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:08,240
Speaker 1: was producing. Yeah, I remember Seth Payne. He was a

732
00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:10,840
Speaker 1: go to guy in the locker room for the media,

733
00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:13,880
Speaker 1: so I do. I was cutting up Seth pain sound

734
00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:16,720
Speaker 1: bites once or twice a week. And Gary Walker and

735
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:20,680
Speaker 1: Aaron Glen, Corey Bradford, David Carr. You know, I knew

736
00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:23,960
Speaker 1: about them through all that. So it's really weird because

737
00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:27,240
Speaker 1: I mean, the oilers, I love the oilers. Nobody could,

738
00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:30,640
Speaker 1: no woman could ever break my heart like the oilers.

739
00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:36,400
Speaker 1: And they did it repeatedly, they did it creatively, They

740
00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:39,160
Speaker 1: they just yeah, they were still fun to watch. There

741
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:43,280
Speaker 1: were a lot of fun to watch. The heartbreak heartbreak

742
00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:45,040
Speaker 1: was definitely there. So then you come back to Houston,

743
00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:46,840
Speaker 1: you get to cover the Texans No. Nine. It was awesome.

744
00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:48,480
Speaker 1: And you've been here for ten years now, this will

745
00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:51,479
Speaker 1: be your eleventh season covering the team. How much has

746
00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:54,240
Speaker 1: your job changed over the years, Because I feel like

747
00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:56,440
Speaker 1: it's changed since I've been here and I've only this

748
00:33:56,480 --> 00:33:58,920
Speaker 1: will be my seventh season. Drastically, when I got here,

749
00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:01,240
Speaker 1: there were no TV shows as it we did UM.

750
00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:05,640
Speaker 1: I was basically more of a writer, more of a

751
00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:09,239
Speaker 1: maintaining the website, getting stuff up on the website. A

752
00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:12,000
Speaker 1: little bit of social media was there a lot of

753
00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:14,560
Speaker 1: social media, and Twitter was starting out and they were

754
00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:16,200
Speaker 1: kind of we're kind of a dipping our toes and

755
00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:19,880
Speaker 1: in a Facebook with a Facebook page. There was no Instagram.

756
00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:25,520
Speaker 1: When I started UM YouTube, we had basically no presence

757
00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:29,280
Speaker 1: and didn't want to have a presence on YouTube, and

758
00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:32,200
Speaker 1: there weren't any TV shows. And now you you ruled

759
00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:34,600
Speaker 1: all the stuff I did. But I mean in fourteen

760
00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:37,080
Speaker 1: that was a big, big change because to take on

761
00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:38,920
Speaker 1: the TV shows, yeah, you know, I started hosting that

762
00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:43,080
Speaker 1: that Extra Points show, and then they had Buzz shortly thereafter,

763
00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:46,040
Speaker 1: and now I'm helping co host that with you. Eleven

764
00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:47,840
Speaker 1: was a big year, not just because of the playoffs,

765
00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:51,480
Speaker 1: but that was the first year I was up on

766
00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:55,360
Speaker 1: on the dead on the video board, and that's changed,

767
00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:58,080
Speaker 1: you know, that's expanded because that was just in game

768
00:34:58,080 --> 00:35:01,520
Speaker 1: when I started, and then now I do pre game halftime.

769
00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:04,160
Speaker 1: There was a postgame show when the Texans won. They

770
00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:06,080
Speaker 1: did away with that a few years ago, but I

771
00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:08,359
Speaker 1: would do pre post in the wrap up as well

772
00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:11,000
Speaker 1: as the in game highlights. So so you came from

773
00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:14,080
Speaker 1: a TV background, but when you started this job interviews,

774
00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:16,840
Speaker 1: it wasn't really a TV job. No, it was very basic.

775
00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:21,000
Speaker 1: Video on the web was still kind of and it's

776
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:23,359
Speaker 1: not embryonic, but it's still very young, you know, and

777
00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:25,520
Speaker 1: we've developed every time. We didn't even have an n

778
00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:29,799
Speaker 1: HD camera until twenty thirteen. It was ridiculous. So that's

779
00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:33,280
Speaker 1: when I started. Huh. All right, So then you mentioned

780
00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:35,440
Speaker 1: twenty eleven. I know you were always the guy that

781
00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:38,120
Speaker 1: got in the limos with the players, that miked them up.

782
00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:41,440
Speaker 1: That has not changed. You still get to do that.

783
00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:43,120
Speaker 1: You get to meet the draft picks. The first round

784
00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:46,279
Speaker 1: draft picks. Yeah, as soon as they hit, they hit

785
00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:49,759
Speaker 1: the Houston Airport and they they visit NRG Stadium. So

786
00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:52,600
Speaker 1: I gotta imagine that's got to be your coolest memory

787
00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:54,480
Speaker 1: is meeting some of these guys their first days. It's

788
00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:57,000
Speaker 1: been fun. Yeah, I mean J J. Watt was the

789
00:35:57,040 --> 00:36:00,759
Speaker 1: first one in eleven um because Kareem was the first

790
00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:02,919
Speaker 1: draft I was here, but I don't think we rode

791
00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:05,640
Speaker 1: with him, so we kind of saw him that first day.

792
00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:08,919
Speaker 1: But then what was the one that was the first

793
00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:12,120
Speaker 1: one I rode with? And he was. It didn't take long.

794
00:36:12,239 --> 00:36:14,719
Speaker 1: I think I realized something was very different about him

795
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:16,640
Speaker 1: once we got to the stadium. I mean, it was

796
00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:19,200
Speaker 1: cool seeing him, see the building and meet him and

797
00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:20,800
Speaker 1: all that stuff. But he got and I've told this

798
00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:24,479
Speaker 1: story many times, but get to the stadium, that's during

799
00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:27,960
Speaker 1: the lockout, and they lifted the lockout just for that

800
00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:30,920
Speaker 1: one day. The lockout started in mid March, so this

801
00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:33,279
Speaker 1: is late April. The draft picks to come in and

802
00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:35,239
Speaker 1: because they wanted all the first round picks to have

803
00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:38,719
Speaker 1: their press conference locally. But what that meant was a

804
00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:40,480
Speaker 1: lot of the other players could all the vets could

805
00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:43,160
Speaker 1: come into the building as well. So early that morning,

806
00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:45,960
Speaker 1: you saw all these veterans in the building look at

807
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:48,800
Speaker 1: the playbook because they had a new defensive coaching staff.

808
00:36:48,840 --> 00:36:51,360
Speaker 1: Wade Phillips was the guy in charge. They had. They

809
00:36:51,360 --> 00:36:53,719
Speaker 1: didn't have OTAs. You know, there was no OTAs, there

810
00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:57,000
Speaker 1: was no offseason conditioning, So this was a chance for

811
00:36:57,040 --> 00:36:59,239
Speaker 1: them to kind of reconnect. So there are a lot

812
00:36:59,239 --> 00:37:01,080
Speaker 1: of familiar face in the building that you hadn't seen

813
00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:05,319
Speaker 1: in a while. But JJ gets there and uh he

814
00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:07,879
Speaker 1: meets Wade and basically he meets him right outside where

815
00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:10,239
Speaker 1: our offices are. Now that's where the coach used to

816
00:37:10,239 --> 00:37:13,279
Speaker 1: sit there, right and Wade comes out. He's like, well,

817
00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:17,880
Speaker 1: they exchange pleasant reason. Any'na go down stars now sandwich

818
00:37:18,040 --> 00:37:22,879
Speaker 1: and JJ says, no, thank you. I know my time

819
00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:25,560
Speaker 1: is limited. Can I please look at the playbook and

820
00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:27,839
Speaker 1: talk about that? And they're like, oh yeah. So they

821
00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:29,839
Speaker 1: go right into this conference room it's a cross off

822
00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:32,720
Speaker 1: from our office, and the sandwich got brought in later.

823
00:37:33,239 --> 00:37:34,600
Speaker 1: But he was I mean, you could tell he was

824
00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:36,400
Speaker 1: he was a little different, you know, he was he

825
00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:40,840
Speaker 1: was maximizing his time with the team, and um, you

826
00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:43,120
Speaker 1: see why he is who he is, and that was

827
00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:46,600
Speaker 1: just a little glimpse of who JJ Watt you know,

828
00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:49,319
Speaker 1: really is at his core. I get asked this all

829
00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:52,880
Speaker 1: the time, but did you ever feel nervous meeting some

830
00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:54,520
Speaker 1: of these guys or do you ever feel nervous to

831
00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:56,560
Speaker 1: doing your job? Is there anything about what you do

832
00:37:56,600 --> 00:37:58,840
Speaker 1: that makes you nervous? I feel nervous watching you do,

833
00:37:58,920 --> 00:38:01,279
Speaker 1: get to know sometimes, No, that doesn't get me nerve

834
00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:03,200
Speaker 1: the most, you know, it gets me the most nervous

835
00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:07,600
Speaker 1: is the preseason sideline stuff. Oh right, because you just

836
00:38:07,600 --> 00:38:10,600
Speaker 1: started doing that a few years ago, yeah, fourteen, and uh,

837
00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:13,840
Speaker 1: just because it's not a job that ever like aspired to,

838
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:16,440
Speaker 1: Like I didn't want to be a sideline guy. You know,

839
00:38:16,440 --> 00:38:19,319
Speaker 1: like it's cool and I like it. You're really good

840
00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:22,160
Speaker 1: at it, Thanks I but I didn't. That's a stressful job.

841
00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:24,000
Speaker 1: You know. What's stressful about it is, though, is that

842
00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:26,960
Speaker 1: first hit because it comes as you they're about to

843
00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:29,919
Speaker 1: kick off, and so ay you want to get out

844
00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:33,440
Speaker 1: and get off while you know, before the kickoff or

845
00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:35,959
Speaker 1: all that other stuff, but you're also kind of worried

846
00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:38,040
Speaker 1: about somebody hitting you with a ball in the back

847
00:38:38,080 --> 00:38:39,920
Speaker 1: of the bed because your back is to the field

848
00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:41,759
Speaker 1: and you really only have about twenty seconds, and you

849
00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:43,400
Speaker 1: want to be very concise, you want to make a

850
00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:45,440
Speaker 1: point that nobody knows about, and you want to like

851
00:38:45,600 --> 00:38:47,800
Speaker 1: kind of inform, So it's just a lot of stuff

852
00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:49,320
Speaker 1: go and you want to look good, you want to smile,

853
00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:52,520
Speaker 1: so it's just a lot of stuff to kind of juggle.

854
00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:55,600
Speaker 1: And uh, yeah, that's when I get the most. You

855
00:38:55,640 --> 00:38:59,120
Speaker 1: interviewed me because I sometimes do the radio sideline during preseason.

856
00:38:59,120 --> 00:39:02,520
Speaker 1: Our job is sort of during preseason because of how

857
00:39:02,560 --> 00:39:04,600
Speaker 1: the broadcasts go and whatnot. And I think you had

858
00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:06,640
Speaker 1: me on to discuss some of our upcoming TV shows

859
00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:09,200
Speaker 1: during the season. I think more people saw me during

860
00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:11,879
Speaker 1: that hit during a preseason game, which that goes into

861
00:39:11,880 --> 00:39:14,000
Speaker 1: the nervousness too. Yeah, you know, that's when most because

862
00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:16,680
Speaker 1: a lot of people are watching. People watch a Texans

863
00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:21,319
Speaker 1: preseason game than pretty much any astro's regular season game.

864
00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:24,200
Speaker 1: It's amazing to me. It's I mean, it's it's bananas

865
00:39:24,280 --> 00:39:26,719
Speaker 1: the time, the amount of people that see it. So

866
00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:28,319
Speaker 1: that's why I get nervous. That's why i'm the most.

867
00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:31,000
Speaker 1: But once I'm interviewing people, I don't get because I

868
00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:32,520
Speaker 1: just asked a question, get out of the way. I

869
00:39:32,560 --> 00:39:34,680
Speaker 1: actually get nervous. I've had to cover for you on

870
00:39:34,719 --> 00:39:37,040
Speaker 1: the deck every now and then the video board, and

871
00:39:37,280 --> 00:39:40,080
Speaker 1: when those highlights come in during preseason, they come in

872
00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:42,120
Speaker 1: kind of fast and furious, and a lot of times

873
00:39:42,120 --> 00:39:45,360
Speaker 1: it's players that are not the normal starters, and so

874
00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:47,040
Speaker 1: you don't want to get a name wrong. And yeah,

875
00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:49,600
Speaker 1: I did that for five six years, so like like

876
00:39:49,640 --> 00:39:52,120
Speaker 1: every single night. So that's like old hats, So you're

877
00:39:52,320 --> 00:39:54,759
Speaker 1: if you're not doing it, it's that's pretty because there's

878
00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:57,200
Speaker 1: a there's a rhythm and a skill to it. And

879
00:39:57,400 --> 00:40:00,759
Speaker 1: yeah it seems easy, but it's actually it's like anything else,

880
00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:02,480
Speaker 1: you gotta do a lot of reps. I've had a

881
00:40:02,480 --> 00:40:04,640
Speaker 1: lot of reps doing that. Yeah, that's why it's I

882
00:40:04,760 --> 00:40:07,239
Speaker 1: enjoy that. I enjoy doing highlights. All right. Speaking of enjoying,

883
00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:09,920
Speaker 1: I want to ask you some of your favorites. Favorite

884
00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:14,920
Speaker 1: part of your job, Uh, the games. Obviously game day

885
00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:18,920
Speaker 1: is the best part, especially home game I like, But

886
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:21,160
Speaker 1: I like the road too. I love traveling and seeing

887
00:40:21,160 --> 00:40:23,359
Speaker 1: new cities. And have you seen every stadium? You've seen

888
00:40:23,360 --> 00:40:27,040
Speaker 1: every stadium at every stadium except for the LA Chargers one.

889
00:40:27,200 --> 00:40:30,680
Speaker 1: But I saw the San Diego Chargers thirteen when we

890
00:40:30,680 --> 00:40:32,839
Speaker 1: were there. That was my first game. Um, I love

891
00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:35,319
Speaker 1: game day. I mean just the excitement, everything you get

892
00:40:35,360 --> 00:40:37,480
Speaker 1: to do. That's that's what you wait all year for.

893
00:40:38,440 --> 00:40:41,440
Speaker 1: I'm very sad every time the season is over, you

894
00:40:41,480 --> 00:40:44,760
Speaker 1: really are. You know, I've been ready for the season

895
00:40:44,760 --> 00:40:49,520
Speaker 1: to start since early January. But yea, every year, I'm

896
00:40:49,600 --> 00:40:54,000
Speaker 1: very optimistic about the team. Um, I've never been this optimistic.

897
00:40:54,080 --> 00:40:56,080
Speaker 1: I don't think about the about an offense the Texans

898
00:40:56,080 --> 00:40:59,680
Speaker 1: have had, as you always say, We've got number four, Yeah,

899
00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:02,160
Speaker 1: that's why. And now he's got a lot of weapons too,

900
00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:04,080
Speaker 1: and like I think the sacks are gonna go down,

901
00:41:04,120 --> 00:41:06,320
Speaker 1: you're not gonna see him get hit as much. So

902
00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:10,279
Speaker 1: I'm just really optimistic in general, but not I've been

903
00:41:10,360 --> 00:41:12,680
Speaker 1: this optimistic about this about an offense that the Texans

904
00:41:12,719 --> 00:41:15,480
Speaker 1: have had. Good stuff from Drew Doherty. You can hear
