Welcome into 2 00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:08,799 Speaker 1: another edition of Texans All Access Monday, Texas Radio Studio. 3 00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:11,920 Speaker 1: I am your host, John Harris's so glad to be 4 00:00:12,039 --> 00:00:16,079 Speaker 1: with you this evening yet again, as we take over 5 00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:19,759 Speaker 1: the airwash from six to seven. We've got plenty for 6 00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:22,079 Speaker 1: you tonight. Drew Door, he's gonna stop buying the next segment. 7 00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:24,400 Speaker 1: And I thought this was a pretty good one. Drew 8 00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:25,919 Speaker 1: came up with this and I thought it was great. 9 00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:29,400 Speaker 1: He asked me, I think it was probably a couple 10 00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:33,520 Speaker 1: of days after. I think it was after the game 11 00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:36,199 Speaker 1: with the Chiefs. He we came up with in the 12 00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:38,440 Speaker 1: lab and he came up with ID and said, what 13 00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:43,360 Speaker 1: soon to be second year or third year player? Did 14 00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:47,559 Speaker 1: the Texans need to have kind of break out? If 15 00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:50,200 Speaker 1: you will? And I know what you hear that you're like, well, 16 00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:52,559 Speaker 1: all of them, but we kind of one of the 17 00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:55,760 Speaker 1: records saying these guys we think are probably the biggest 18 00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:58,520 Speaker 1: candidates to be able to do that. So we'll have 19 00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:01,720 Speaker 1: that and DPS gonna stop by later in the show 20 00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:10,080 Speaker 1: to give out our version of the football Oscars for 21 00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:12,240 Speaker 1: the Texans if you will. You know Oscars they're coming 22 00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:14,880 Speaker 1: up on Sunday. I haven't even really been paying attention 23 00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:18,360 Speaker 1: too much to it. I should. I mean, some of 24 00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:20,800 Speaker 1: the movies I think I've seen I can't remember, but 25 00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:26,680 Speaker 1: they give all kinds of awards, best Cinematography, best costume design, 26 00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:32,880 Speaker 1: best actor in a limited or supporting role. So we 27 00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:37,000 Speaker 1: figured why not do that and we'd write it up. 28 00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:42,200 Speaker 1: We take in contributions from me, DP, Mark, Andrew, and 29 00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:44,840 Speaker 1: DP is writing about that each and every day this week. 30 00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:46,640 Speaker 1: So I figured to kind of kick it off into 31 00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:50,560 Speaker 1: promo that why not discuss one of those So later 32 00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:54,840 Speaker 1: in the show, we're gonna have the best catches of 33 00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:57,880 Speaker 1: twenty nineteen, and all four of us independently came up 34 00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:01,560 Speaker 1: with a different catch. Now, the one thing I thought 35 00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:05,360 Speaker 1: about after we all made our submissions, there was one 36 00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:09,480 Speaker 1: catch that we just completely glossed over, and I think 37 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:12,080 Speaker 1: part of it was because it was more about the 38 00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:15,880 Speaker 1: play than it was the catch. But you'll have an 39 00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:18,760 Speaker 1: opportunity at some point to hear that. Later in the show, 40 00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:20,720 Speaker 1: will have a few honorable mention candidates. We came up 41 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:25,840 Speaker 1: with four different catches independently of one another, and I 42 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:30,040 Speaker 1: think all of them have merit the actual best physical 43 00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:32,720 Speaker 1: catches the one that DP came up with, but the 44 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:36,320 Speaker 1: other three, well they were best catches for a particular reason. 45 00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:39,079 Speaker 1: So we've got played for you on the show tonight. 46 00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:42,560 Speaker 1: Let's jump in with some hot reads. They are brought 47 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:44,960 Speaker 1: to you by Geico fifteen minutes because save fifteen percent 48 00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:49,880 Speaker 1: or more on car insurance. Let's go run a league 49 00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:51,760 Speaker 1: a little bit. A lot of things happening throughout the 50 00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:56,079 Speaker 1: league as we get to offseason time, and you just 51 00:02:56,160 --> 00:03:00,800 Speaker 1: never know what's gonna pop up when how what the 52 00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:06,800 Speaker 1: rumors might be? Well, how about this juicy rumor courtesy 53 00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:12,360 Speaker 1: of Greg Rosenthal of the NFL Network The Colts and 54 00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:21,760 Speaker 1: Chargers could be interested in trading for Cam Newton. Okay, 55 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:23,840 Speaker 1: so I know unpacked that a little bit. I think 56 00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:28,120 Speaker 1: about this. I've no no, Greg is not quite the 57 00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:31,799 Speaker 1: inside of the Ian rappaport is, but Greg knows some 58 00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:35,040 Speaker 1: people and it makes a lot of sense. First of all, 59 00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:37,160 Speaker 1: I don't think there's anybody out there that expect Philip 60 00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:39,600 Speaker 1: Rivers to go back to the LA Chargers, and that's 61 00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:42,120 Speaker 1: not happening. The Chargers are gonna have a different quarterback. 62 00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:44,560 Speaker 1: A lot of the mock drafts that i've seen. Have 63 00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:46,920 Speaker 1: them taken a quarterback I've seen Justin Herbert. That's a 64 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:50,720 Speaker 1: guy apparently the Chargers really like. I've also seen in 65 00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:52,280 Speaker 1: one mock draft to day, I saw two a ton 66 00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:55,120 Speaker 1: of Violo to the LA Chargers. I think they're at six. 67 00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:59,760 Speaker 1: They're one spot behind Miami. So having a rookie starting 68 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:02,920 Speaker 1: that in that new building in La, sharing it with 69 00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:05,720 Speaker 1: the Rams, having a finding a quarterback for the future, 70 00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:08,160 Speaker 1: that's big because obviously Philip's not going to be there 71 00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:11,280 Speaker 1: or I would be shocked if Philip Rivers goes back 72 00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:14,560 Speaker 1: to the Chargers. So Cam Newton to the Chargers makes 73 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:16,880 Speaker 1: some sense. Let's trying to unpack this whole thing with 74 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:20,240 Speaker 1: the cults. I don't want to see Cam Newton Indianapolis. 75 00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 1: I do not at all. Now. Andrew Lucky and Cam 76 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:29,359 Speaker 1: Newton are tied together for me because those two could 77 00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:32,359 Speaker 1: have come out in the same draft. They could have 78 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:37,200 Speaker 1: come out together into twenty eleven draft, which would have 79 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,120 Speaker 1: given the Panthers the opportunity I would think at that 80 00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:42,640 Speaker 1: point to take Andrew Luck and then Cam Newton would 81 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:45,880 Speaker 1: have gone elsewhere. But Luck decided to go back to college. 82 00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,880 Speaker 1: Cam's the number one pick Luck waited a year, he 83 00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 1: ends up in Indianapolis, and then we had to face 84 00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:53,719 Speaker 1: him how many every years before we retired. Heading into 85 00:04:53,760 --> 00:05:00,920 Speaker 1: the twenty nineteen season, Cam Newton go in Indianapolis. Oh, 86 00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:02,960 Speaker 1: I don't know how much I like that. Now. One 87 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,200 Speaker 1: thing I do know about the Colts. They're not ones 88 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:08,640 Speaker 1: to make huge splashes money wise, as they did with 89 00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:11,760 Speaker 1: Jacobe Bersett. Now, they didn't make a huge splash, but 90 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,920 Speaker 1: it was more than a little tiny ripple. And then 91 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:17,680 Speaker 1: to make a deal for Cam Newton, they're gonna have 92 00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:21,040 Speaker 1: to give up some serious ammunition to get Cam. Now, 93 00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:23,840 Speaker 1: I don't know if the market for Cam is gonna 94 00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 1: be completely there, so maybe they don't have to give up. 95 00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:29,560 Speaker 1: Maybe they have to give a second rounder. I don't 96 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:31,640 Speaker 1: know if that's gonna be something that Chris ballor is 97 00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:35,080 Speaker 1: gonna want to do. But I do think with the 98 00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:38,600 Speaker 1: Chargers and Colts that being out there that there's interest 99 00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:41,520 Speaker 1: in Cam Newton. Maybe this has been floated by somebody 100 00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:44,400 Speaker 1: close to Carolina that they want that out there. I 101 00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:46,719 Speaker 1: do know this, and I was told this by multiple 102 00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:51,280 Speaker 1: people at the Senior Bowl that expect the Carolina Panthers 103 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:54,839 Speaker 1: to potentially blow the whole thing up, and I mean 104 00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:58,120 Speaker 1: the whole thing. And Matt Rule got a seven year deal. 105 00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:00,640 Speaker 1: I said it that night. Matt Rule gotta seven year deal. 106 00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:03,720 Speaker 1: You get a seven year deal. Why most coaches are 107 00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:05,800 Speaker 1: getting what four or five year deals, You get a 108 00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 1: seven year deal because you've got to have some growing 109 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,320 Speaker 1: pains in the first couple of years that the seven 110 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:14,880 Speaker 1: year contract shows were showing you some loyalty that rule. 111 00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:19,320 Speaker 1: But don't be surprised to see. Obviously Greg Olson already gone, 112 00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:23,240 Speaker 1: Luke Keickley retired, Thomas Davis went off the year before. 113 00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:27,800 Speaker 1: They're gonna blow that thing up in Carolina. Does that 114 00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:32,719 Speaker 1: mean Christian McCaffrey. I've been told maybe, and maybe with 115 00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:35,840 Speaker 1: a heavy lean to Yeah, blowing it up would indicate 116 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:41,480 Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey. Now that's could be rumors, but that's what's 117 00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:43,120 Speaker 1: going on in Carolina. So if they're doing all that 118 00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:45,920 Speaker 1: in Carolina, you know they're gonna take what they think 119 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,240 Speaker 1: they can get for cam Newton. But if they've got 120 00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:51,359 Speaker 1: more suitors, and now it looks like they do, you 121 00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:54,559 Speaker 1: could see the Chargers and Colts bidding for cam Newtons. 122 00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:56,840 Speaker 1: That's gonna be an interesting one, especially with the angle 123 00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:00,159 Speaker 1: of the Indianapolis Colts and the Texans having to face them. Now, 124 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:02,520 Speaker 1: let's stay in a division for our next hot read, 125 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:07,359 Speaker 1: and that will be the Jacksonville Jaguars. The president of 126 00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:10,800 Speaker 1: the team, Mark Lamping, basically the Jags, Jamie Roots and 127 00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:15,440 Speaker 1: owner Shod Khan had a little meeting with the media 128 00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:20,360 Speaker 1: today to discuss various aspects of life in Jacksonville over 129 00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:24,800 Speaker 1: the next how many every years? Now the fear in Jacksonville, 130 00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:27,960 Speaker 1: and I know, having knowing many people there, the Jags 131 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:30,600 Speaker 1: are gonna go to London. That's where they're gonna go there. 132 00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:34,080 Speaker 1: The team SHOT's got a soccer team over there, Fulham, 133 00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:36,920 Speaker 1: He's gonna take the Jaguars. That's gonna be the team 134 00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:42,239 Speaker 1: that goes to London's the first team permanently in London. Well, 135 00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:47,120 Speaker 1: today's news is not going to dissuade anybody from feeling 136 00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:50,160 Speaker 1: that way, because the Jags will not play just one, 137 00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:55,080 Speaker 1: but they will play two games in London next year. 138 00:07:56,040 --> 00:08:00,320 Speaker 1: So the Jags are giving up two home games to 139 00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:03,840 Speaker 1: go to London. Now, to play two in London, I 140 00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:05,680 Speaker 1: would think you've got to play them back to back. 141 00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:07,720 Speaker 1: So to me, it feels like the Jags end up 142 00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:11,040 Speaker 1: being sort of the test case for whether you can 143 00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:16,080 Speaker 1: have a team over in London. But they will play 144 00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:21,440 Speaker 1: apparently back to back games in London, and it's the 145 00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:23,480 Speaker 1: first time that's ever happened. They will play both of 146 00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:26,080 Speaker 1: them at Wimbley Stadium. As JP Shadwick, our buddy from 147 00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:29,160 Speaker 1: Jags dot com, told us, nobody beats the Jags at 148 00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:32,600 Speaker 1: their home away from home, Wimbley Stadium. So Wimbley Stadium 149 00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:37,520 Speaker 1: is that place, Wimbley Stadium. It's a beautiful place, beautiful place. 150 00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:40,040 Speaker 1: They've redone it over the years. It is beautiful, And 151 00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:42,600 Speaker 1: Shot said, we're committed first and foremost to winning and 152 00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:45,360 Speaker 1: that commitment drives me everyone at the Jaguars every day. 153 00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:47,719 Speaker 1: They want to give Jacksonville a team that wins in 154 00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:49,760 Speaker 1: the community, that can be proud to call its own. 155 00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:54,320 Speaker 1: But they're taking their act over to London twice in 156 00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:57,240 Speaker 1: the twenty twenty season. Now. I haven't been able to 157 00:08:57,240 --> 00:09:00,240 Speaker 1: listen today to Jacksonville radio. I haven't seen a lot 158 00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:03,920 Speaker 1: posted from people in Jacksonville, So I have a feeling 159 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:06,400 Speaker 1: hearing that news is a little bit jarring today because 160 00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:10,600 Speaker 1: it's two. When does it become four? When it split. Hey, 161 00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:13,240 Speaker 1: you're gonna play four in London. Four And I mean 162 00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:16,240 Speaker 1: when does it become that? I don't know, but they 163 00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:19,840 Speaker 1: will play second game in London. Both Shot and Mark 164 00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:23,000 Speaker 1: Lamping talked about different areas of development in Jacksonville, but 165 00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:26,640 Speaker 1: one of the biggest concerns is the stadium. And that 166 00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:31,360 Speaker 1: stadium has been there since nineteen ninety five when they 167 00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:34,200 Speaker 1: renovated the stadium. It used to be the old Gator Bowl. 168 00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:36,520 Speaker 1: When they got the Jags, they tore that thing down 169 00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:39,120 Speaker 1: to the studs built it back up. That stadium is 170 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:43,040 Speaker 1: definitely in need of repair in certain places, and I 171 00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:45,480 Speaker 1: can see where when you see stadium Shot out the 172 00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:49,160 Speaker 1: league and see what they have, that obviously becomes a 173 00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:52,640 Speaker 1: sticking point in Mark Lamping discussed that often the stadium 174 00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:55,360 Speaker 1: could be at issue in Jacksonville. Maybe they would look 175 00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:57,480 Speaker 1: at different areas. That thing is right on the river. 176 00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:01,120 Speaker 1: That's the best location you can poss we have. But 177 00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:04,080 Speaker 1: they've got other land there in Jacksonville State that's still 178 00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:06,040 Speaker 1: in the river that maybe they could build another stadium. 179 00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:12,840 Speaker 1: Who knows, but they will play two games over in London. Now. 180 00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:15,520 Speaker 1: We do know that they play three games in the 181 00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:17,760 Speaker 1: division and we just played them last year, so I 182 00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:19,560 Speaker 1: wouldn't think we're on the schedule to go over to 183 00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:24,000 Speaker 1: London again. But Titans and the Colts and US. They 184 00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:28,560 Speaker 1: also play the Browns, the Lions or the Dolphins. Those 185 00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:31,480 Speaker 1: could be the games that are heading over there. The 186 00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:36,600 Speaker 1: home games against Pittsburgh and Chicago will be in Jacksonville, 187 00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:39,480 Speaker 1: so I would think it's going to be one of 188 00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:43,880 Speaker 1: the division opponents, the Colts, the Titans or yeah, the 189 00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:47,040 Speaker 1: Cults are Titans, probably not US and the Browns, the 190 00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:49,320 Speaker 1: Lions or the Dolphins. I want to say the Lions 191 00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:51,360 Speaker 1: haven't been over there recently, but I'm not totally sure 192 00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:53,720 Speaker 1: of that. So the Jack's going over to play two 193 00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:58,320 Speaker 1: games over in London. I'm not totally sure how that 194 00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:01,920 Speaker 1: and what that means for Jacksonville, but I do think 195 00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:05,120 Speaker 1: maybe part of it is to try and have the 196 00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:07,360 Speaker 1: people there in Jacksonville start thinking about a new stadium. 197 00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:13,280 Speaker 1: We'll see how that works. Greg Olsen tight end mention 198 00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:17,920 Speaker 1: him a little while ago, released by the Panthers. That 199 00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:21,520 Speaker 1: became official on Monday for the Transaction Wire. I think 200 00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:23,880 Speaker 1: it was reported maybe earlier this morning or late last night. 201 00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:26,400 Speaker 1: He is now out there. He's thirty four years old. 202 00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:29,440 Speaker 1: He's got one year left on his deal. Teams are 203 00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:34,800 Speaker 1: already making overtures. Apparently the Bills and Redskins are making overtures, 204 00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:41,080 Speaker 1: and also the Seattle Seahawks. Yo Greg Olson with Russell 205 00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:45,400 Speaker 1: Wilson for a year. My goodness, that would be kind 206 00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:48,240 Speaker 1: of scary. That would be Russell Wilson getting Jimmy Graham back. 207 00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:50,000 Speaker 1: And that's the one thing they don't have. They've got 208 00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:52,640 Speaker 1: DK Metcalf, they got Tyler Lockett. They don't have that 209 00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:55,600 Speaker 1: tight end, you know, Holland Cody Hollister was not that 210 00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:58,360 Speaker 1: u high for them. They need somebody that can help 211 00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:00,920 Speaker 1: them in the middle of the field do some big things, 212 00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:02,560 Speaker 1: and maybe Olsen is that guy. Now, if you're gonna 213 00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:05,400 Speaker 1: waite second free agencies until March because he was released, 214 00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:08,640 Speaker 1: he can sign with anybody at any point from now 215 00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:12,400 Speaker 1: for the end of time. But Greg Olson out on 216 00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:15,679 Speaker 1: the market. He is officially a free agent, the Pro 217 00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:19,200 Speaker 1: Bowl tight end formerly of the Chicago Bears and Carolina Panthers. 218 00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:22,880 Speaker 1: Maybe now if the Bill's, Redskins or Seahawks. So there 219 00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:25,360 Speaker 1: you go, your hot reads brought to you by Geico 220 00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:28,760 Speaker 1: fifteen minutes because fifteen percent or more on car insurance. 221 00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:32,120 Speaker 1: All right, we get back. We'll discuss those second and 222 00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:35,920 Speaker 1: or third year players that are gonna take the biggest 223 00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:38,480 Speaker 1: leap for the Texans in twenty twenty. That's next of 224 00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:43,000 Speaker 1: Texans Axis. What's up? Everybody? Welcome back to a Tuesday 225 00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:46,200 Speaker 1: edition of Texans All Access. I'm your host is SEVENEE 226 00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:48,560 Speaker 1: John Harris. Now I typically won't be the host on 227 00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:51,720 Speaker 1: Tuesday evening. I will join Mark Vandomir, but Mark out 228 00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:57,640 Speaker 1: on a leadership retreat with the Texas leadership. So you 229 00:12:57,679 --> 00:12:59,440 Speaker 1: have to deal with me, which a good thing for 230 00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:02,120 Speaker 1: you because we talk a lot of football, and that 231 00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:04,760 Speaker 1: means like to bring my friends along. That means Drew 232 00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:08,840 Speaker 1: Doherty is going to stop by in the Lab, partner. 233 00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:11,920 Speaker 1: We got a new in the Lab going up. Probably 234 00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:14,959 Speaker 1: I think it may already be up, not totally sure, 235 00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:18,520 Speaker 1: maybe up tonight, might be up tomorrow morning, but it's excellent. 236 00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:21,920 Speaker 1: You will absolutely love our redraft of the two thousand 237 00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:26,120 Speaker 1: and five NFL Draft. You'll love that friend the Lab. 238 00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:29,400 Speaker 1: But on this portion of in the Lab, we talked 239 00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:34,079 Speaker 1: about second and third year players that we expect or 240 00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:38,840 Speaker 1: looking forward to making the leap, as they say, Texans 241 00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:41,600 Speaker 1: have many hecks of players that are going to be 242 00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:46,600 Speaker 1: second year in third years in twenty twenty. Out of 243 00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:49,920 Speaker 1: that crop, who are you most excited about or who 244 00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:52,000 Speaker 1: do you think might make the biggest leap. I'm gonna 245 00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:55,960 Speaker 1: start ahead, and I'm gonna go with the very unglamorous 246 00:13:56,880 --> 00:14:01,480 Speaker 1: and maybe even just like this might be way too obvious, 247 00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:04,160 Speaker 1: but I think after having a solid rookie year at 248 00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:06,880 Speaker 1: left guard, I think you're really going to see great 249 00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:12,160 Speaker 1: things and improve things and better things from Max Sharping. 250 00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:14,880 Speaker 1: I liked what we saw as a rookie, I mean, 251 00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:17,160 Speaker 1: dealing with him off the field as well, Like you 252 00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:20,080 Speaker 1: can tell this dude is sharp and talking with some 253 00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:22,920 Speaker 1: other people in the building, they and this was before 254 00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:26,080 Speaker 1: he even suited up, they marveled at how smart he 255 00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:28,080 Speaker 1: was football wise any I mean he was like a 256 00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:31,560 Speaker 1: four point zero guy in the classroom too, but football wise, 257 00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:34,880 Speaker 1: they they said he was extremely advanced for somebody his 258 00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:38,520 Speaker 1: age and really for any NFL player. Now, he got 259 00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:42,000 Speaker 1: thrown into the fire finally in Week three and he 260 00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,560 Speaker 1: held his own. You know, they're they're like any rookie. 261 00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:47,320 Speaker 1: He could play better, But I think a whole offseason 262 00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:51,240 Speaker 1: with an all pro guy, all pro level guy. It 263 00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:54,680 Speaker 1: is left in Larry mctunsell and Nick Martin to his 264 00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:57,760 Speaker 1: right and center, and being in the system and not 265 00:14:57,800 --> 00:14:59,520 Speaker 1: having to get ready for the draft and not having 266 00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:02,400 Speaker 1: to get ready for the combine and all that other stuff, 267 00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:04,920 Speaker 1: and you know, getting to just focus on football, get 268 00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:08,480 Speaker 1: the break that he needs being in the system, weight 269 00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:12,560 Speaker 1: room wise, flexibility wise, with all the strength and conditioning stuff. 270 00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:16,240 Speaker 1: I really think the best is yet to come for him, 271 00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:18,640 Speaker 1: and I think it's coming at the right time with 272 00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:21,760 Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson as he's entering his prime and I'm really 273 00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:24,320 Speaker 1: really excited to see what Sharping does. Max Sharping is 274 00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:28,320 Speaker 1: my second or rookie, second year or third year guy 275 00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:32,240 Speaker 1: to watch in twenty twenty. It's when you when you 276 00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:34,280 Speaker 1: told me this is the topic, my first thought was 277 00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:37,480 Speaker 1: Titus Howard and he's he was? He was. It was 278 00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:39,560 Speaker 1: one A and one B, yeah, because I thought I 279 00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:41,720 Speaker 1: thought Howard was a little bit more advanced than Sharping 280 00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:44,840 Speaker 1: on the field. Yeah last year. And I mean it's 281 00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:46,720 Speaker 1: funny because when you started saying, you know what Max 282 00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:48,600 Speaker 1: is throwing their week three, I started thinking about, man, 283 00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:50,160 Speaker 1: what do we do in week one? Week two? And 284 00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:52,200 Speaker 1: Titus didn't playing week one, and then he played in 285 00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:54,040 Speaker 1: week two, but he played at guard. He played that 286 00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:57,560 Speaker 1: live guard position. And then in week three, I remember 287 00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:01,200 Speaker 1: they're lining up before the game against the Chargers, and 288 00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:03,760 Speaker 1: I'm like, it's Bossa, it's Ingram, and they're gonna go 289 00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:07,280 Speaker 1: and move Titus out to right tackle and put Sharping 290 00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:11,600 Speaker 1: at left guard like well, and then Sharping they moved 291 00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:14,480 Speaker 1: Ingram inside to rush against him, and I'll never forget it. 292 00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:17,480 Speaker 1: Ingram tried to throw a spin move and Sharping just 293 00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:20,720 Speaker 1: and Max just caught him. And like, Ingram is standing 294 00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:24,000 Speaker 1: there with his back back literally to the quarterback with 295 00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:26,240 Speaker 1: his arms up in the air like I can't move anywhere. 296 00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:29,200 Speaker 1: Look there, and he wasn't holding him, but Max was 297 00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:32,240 Speaker 1: just literally like you're not going anywhere. I got you. 298 00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:36,520 Speaker 1: And I was like that, That to me was Holy smoked. 299 00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:40,000 Speaker 1: This guy's gonna be all right, because Max. The last 300 00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:41,600 Speaker 1: time I'd seen Max was at I'd seen him at 301 00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:44,560 Speaker 1: the Senior Bowl. And did he play inside in the 302 00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:46,560 Speaker 1: game or oh, he played a tackle in the Snabowl, 303 00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:49,440 Speaker 1: but the thing was the end of ankle injury. So 304 00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:52,680 Speaker 1: he had actually worked with coaches their line Lanzer line. 305 00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:54,000 Speaker 1: A lot of people know a good friend of mine 306 00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:56,600 Speaker 1: and Lance's dad, Larry coaching the NFL for a long 307 00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:59,080 Speaker 1: time as off it's line coach, and so Max had 308 00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:01,840 Speaker 1: worked with him for a uple of days and had 309 00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:03,800 Speaker 1: injured his ankle I think before he went to go 310 00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:05,720 Speaker 1: work out with Larry. So Lance was telling me where 311 00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:08,080 Speaker 1: at the senior were like, man, look Sharping, I just 312 00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:09,840 Speaker 1: wish he were healthy. I was, what was wrong? It's oh, 313 00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:11,960 Speaker 1: he's dealing with ankle injury. And so at the senior 314 00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:15,000 Speaker 1: boat really didn't get a great picture of Max. I 315 00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:16,560 Speaker 1: did find it interesting. I was going back through my 316 00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:19,480 Speaker 1: notes and I found I found I found one of 317 00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:21,960 Speaker 1: my notes saying, Omana who versus Sharping? This has been 318 00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:26,160 Speaker 1: a good battle. So he did play inside a little bit, 319 00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:28,160 Speaker 1: and he did play and he played outside. So they 320 00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:30,120 Speaker 1: liked to cross trains to senior boats. I think is good. 321 00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:32,760 Speaker 1: But Titus is the first one that came to mind. 322 00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:35,720 Speaker 1: But since you went offensive line, I'm gonna give you 323 00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:39,240 Speaker 1: one that I think not only am I expecting it, 324 00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:43,240 Speaker 1: but I think it has to happen. My only question 325 00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:46,760 Speaker 1: is at which position, and that's Lonnie Johnson Junior, And 326 00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:50,280 Speaker 1: I bring that up because you you know, you know 327 00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:52,160 Speaker 1: what I've said on the air and off the air 328 00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:57,200 Speaker 1: about Lonnie and safety. Yeah, I think safety might ultimately 329 00:17:57,240 --> 00:17:59,520 Speaker 1: be a position that he plays because he is six 330 00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:01,680 Speaker 1: to two fifteen. When you see him, you're like, that 331 00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:05,160 Speaker 1: is a big dude. And the way that he can run, 332 00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:08,320 Speaker 1: you think, man, why don't you put Lonnie Johnson next 333 00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:10,480 Speaker 1: to Justin Reid at some point and now those two 334 00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:14,120 Speaker 1: are your safety. It really reminds me his rookie year 335 00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:18,000 Speaker 1: reminds me of a much less harsh version of what 336 00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:20,959 Speaker 1: Kareem Jackson went through. Yeah, and I think in retrospect, 337 00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:25,119 Speaker 1: with twenty twenty twenty twenty hindsight, when Wade Phillips came in, 338 00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:28,160 Speaker 1: they probably it would have been a real fruitful move 339 00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:31,719 Speaker 1: if you'd switch Kareem to safety right way back then 340 00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:33,480 Speaker 1: and let him let him do what he did. It 341 00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:35,359 Speaker 1: doesn't matter now, I mean, it's you know, we've all 342 00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:38,280 Speaker 1: already gone down that road. But Lonnie in the first 343 00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:42,399 Speaker 1: quarter at Kansas City did okay. Yeah, I thought he 344 00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:44,320 Speaker 1: did a pretty good job at Kelsey actually, and then 345 00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:47,119 Speaker 1: Hardman takes that long kickoff return that Conna was one 346 00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:49,720 Speaker 1: of the sparks and Lonnie kind of hurt himself. He 347 00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:51,480 Speaker 1: kind of kind of got a hitching his get along 348 00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:54,280 Speaker 1: and then Kelsey just went off. Yeah. Now I wonder 349 00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:57,119 Speaker 1: how Kelsey was gonna get his no matter what. I 350 00:18:57,160 --> 00:18:58,840 Speaker 1: wonder how much of it, though, would have changed that 351 00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:01,920 Speaker 1: Lonnie been fully healthy and had to shun Gibson been 352 00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:03,800 Speaker 1: out there. Yeah, and that's a that's a big one too, 353 00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:05,639 Speaker 1: you know, you know, with with to Sean. But I 354 00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:08,960 Speaker 1: just I think Lonnie just watching him the one thing 355 00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:12,240 Speaker 1: that Lonnie has needed and Lonnie has actually and he's 356 00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:16,520 Speaker 1: needed this his whole life, his stability. I'm curious to 357 00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:19,720 Speaker 1: see what he will do with stability because he's a 358 00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:22,880 Speaker 1: guy that you know, grew up in Gary, Indiana. And 359 00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:24,760 Speaker 1: I mean his story is amazing, but he grew up 360 00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:28,480 Speaker 1: in Gary, Indiana. He's had, you know, a number of 361 00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:32,080 Speaker 1: friends that were shot and killed. Um, Gary Indiana has 362 00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:34,360 Speaker 1: got the highest I think murder rate or violence rate 363 00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:37,000 Speaker 1: in the entire country. And then when it came to 364 00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:41,399 Speaker 1: school in post high school, played a few different places 365 00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:43,520 Speaker 1: he played it. Not only did he played a different places, 366 00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:47,080 Speaker 1: there were times where he actually stayed an additional year 367 00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:49,760 Speaker 1: at Garden City Community College just to get his grades 368 00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:52,240 Speaker 1: right to be able to go to Kentucky and didn't 369 00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:55,080 Speaker 1: play for a year. So then he goes to Kentucky. 370 00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:56,600 Speaker 1: So it's like he went to like two or three 371 00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:58,480 Speaker 1: different junior colleges to get it right, and then he 372 00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:00,240 Speaker 1: finally goes to Kentucky for a couple of year years 373 00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:02,160 Speaker 1: and then he comes to Houston. It's like he finally 374 00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:05,600 Speaker 1: has got some stability here, and I'm curious what that 375 00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:09,480 Speaker 1: does for him as a player, continuing to grow and 376 00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:12,280 Speaker 1: learn as a player. The one thing I love about him, 377 00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:14,520 Speaker 1: which I think some people may find off putting, but 378 00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:19,480 Speaker 1: I kind of love it, is he has confidence oozing 379 00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:21,960 Speaker 1: better out of him better if you're playing that position, 380 00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:25,159 Speaker 1: Like if if he gets beats, like next play, let's go. 381 00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:27,120 Speaker 1: You got me this one, I'll get you the next one. 382 00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:31,760 Speaker 1: Like he has that belief in that ability and that confidence. 383 00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:34,879 Speaker 1: And so I think just with stability, and I think 384 00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:37,520 Speaker 1: with I think going to safety would be a great 385 00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:39,800 Speaker 1: move for him. But I do think that he's got 386 00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:42,240 Speaker 1: Coverability's no doubt about that. I just think he might 387 00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:45,159 Speaker 1: be more comfortable playing safety. The Texans in the long 388 00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:48,760 Speaker 1: run might be more more might be better off having 389 00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:50,879 Speaker 1: him play safety at some point in his career, and 390 00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:53,960 Speaker 1: maybe earlier than earlier than later. I thought about the 391 00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:56,399 Speaker 1: makeup of his team a bunch over the last how 392 00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:59,200 Speaker 1: many ever weeks, and for the J. J. Wattson, Jandre 393 00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:02,359 Speaker 1: Hopkins and those guys that have been around for a while, 394 00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:06,200 Speaker 1: they do have a pre significant number of young guys 395 00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:11,240 Speaker 1: that they're gonna be relying on a significant amount over 396 00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:15,240 Speaker 1: the next how many ever years, Guys like Lonnie Johnson, 397 00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:17,919 Speaker 1: as we just mentioned, Max Sharping, Titus Howard. You know 398 00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:21,440 Speaker 1: this draft class is gonna have to pay huge dividends. 399 00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:23,760 Speaker 1: And the last draft class, I should say, the twenty 400 00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:26,960 Speaker 1: nineteen draft class, but this twenty twenty draft class they're 401 00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:29,520 Speaker 1: gonna end up being I believe, about eight picks as 402 00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:33,080 Speaker 1: it sits now, Draft day, Draft weekend. Even prior to that, 403 00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:36,679 Speaker 1: you don't know what Bill Brian and the personnel staff 404 00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:41,119 Speaker 1: will do. I do know that there will be some activity. 405 00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:44,560 Speaker 1: It just I can't see coach O'Brien sitting still. I 406 00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:46,480 Speaker 1: can see him moving up and down the draft board 407 00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:50,159 Speaker 1: to find players, find additional players to move down to 408 00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:52,680 Speaker 1: pick up a guy here, move down a few more 409 00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:55,080 Speaker 1: spots to pick up a couple guys there, maybe to 410 00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:57,399 Speaker 1: pick up a guy next year, those kind of things. 411 00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:02,280 Speaker 1: So the these two drafts or this, you know, twenty 412 00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:05,199 Speaker 1: nineteen draft, twenty twenty draft, they're huge. But if you 413 00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:08,320 Speaker 1: think about what they did this draft with Titus max 414 00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:11,240 Speaker 1: Lonni as we mentioned, hopefully we get to see Collie 415 00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:14,760 Speaker 1: wearing in the off season when we get to OTAs 416 00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:16,879 Speaker 1: and mini camps, get excited about what he can do. 417 00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:20,480 Speaker 1: That guy's a heck of an athlete. So now you're 418 00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:22,760 Speaker 1: starting to pile together good draft. Now you have another 419 00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:25,320 Speaker 1: one in twenty twenty, pile that on top of what 420 00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:28,520 Speaker 1: you had in twenty nineteen. You know, you go get 421 00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:32,280 Speaker 1: Justin Reid in twenty eighteen. You know, how can I 422 00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:34,919 Speaker 1: forget about Charles A. Menaho. This last draft in twenty nineteen, 423 00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:39,200 Speaker 1: Colin Gillespia. This was a very very good, strong draft 424 00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:41,160 Speaker 1: they had twenty nineteen, followed up with a few more. 425 00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:44,639 Speaker 1: Who knows what you could do with your personnel going forward. 426 00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:49,040 Speaker 1: But this twenty twenty draft vital for taking the next 427 00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:52,159 Speaker 1: step getting the NFC championship game, winning that thing, going on, 428 00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:56,880 Speaker 1: winning championships, getting close but not close enough. And that's 429 00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:59,480 Speaker 1: what these next few drafts are all about this offseason, 430 00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:02,879 Speaker 1: so I'm excited to see what this twenty nineteen draft 431 00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:06,480 Speaker 1: class is going to be able to turn into, especially 432 00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:11,080 Speaker 1: with the guys up front, with Max Sharping and Titus Howard. 433 00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:13,960 Speaker 1: Those two guys I thought had really good years, Max 434 00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:17,000 Speaker 1: starting week thirteen and starting every game after that, Titus 435 00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:19,879 Speaker 1: unfortunately not being able to go beyond week eleven. But 436 00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:23,160 Speaker 1: there is a tremendous future for those guys up front, 437 00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:26,200 Speaker 1: no question about that. Now. DP soon is gonna join 438 00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:29,960 Speaker 1: me next. And she came up with a concept during 439 00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:32,080 Speaker 1: our department and I thought was really good. The Oscars 440 00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:34,919 Speaker 1: are on Sunday night. Well, the Oscars on Sunday Night, 441 00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:37,199 Speaker 1: they have all these different awards that they give out 442 00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:44,080 Speaker 1: for various your best Cinematography, best Actor in supporting role, 443 00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:47,639 Speaker 1: best Actor, best actress, etc. You know how the askers go. 444 00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:50,080 Speaker 1: So we figured, well why not do that for the Texans. 445 00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:52,040 Speaker 1: And I'll let Deep you talk a little bit more 446 00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:54,600 Speaker 1: about that, but when we come back, just know you're 447 00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:58,400 Speaker 1: gonna hear some of the best catches that the Texans 448 00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:01,199 Speaker 1: had in twenty nineteen. Do that acts on Texans all Access. 449 00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:04,240 Speaker 1: Walking back to a Tuesday Edsu to Texans All Access 450 00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:08,159 Speaker 1: from the Honday Texans Radio Studio. I am John Harris 451 00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:11,560 Speaker 1: alongside my good friend Deep Situ Depe. First of all, 452 00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:14,800 Speaker 1: how are you doing? Did you watch The Bachelor last night? 453 00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:19,280 Speaker 1: I watched up until just after the Rose ceremony. My 454 00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:20,879 Speaker 1: problem is I like to work out at five in 455 00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:24,119 Speaker 1: the morning. Yeah, and even if I watched Bachelor on 456 00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:28,040 Speaker 1: fast forward, it's three hours, so it's not happening. So 457 00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:30,600 Speaker 1: sometimes I'll just I promise myself, all right, I'll watch 458 00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:34,080 Speaker 1: like ten or fifteen minutes and whatever happens, like there 459 00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:36,000 Speaker 1: could be some major tears, but I got to turn 460 00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:38,000 Speaker 1: it off and I gotta go to bed. So I 461 00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:40,639 Speaker 1: did start a little bit earlier. I got through it. 462 00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:43,000 Speaker 1: I hate this Bachelor, Johnny. I just hate him. And 463 00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:47,080 Speaker 1: yet I keep watching this show the pilot, Peter the Pilot, 464 00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:49,840 Speaker 1: and I'm always yelling at the TV. I'moys yelling at 465 00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:55,240 Speaker 1: and then my husband's like, why are you watching this yourself? 466 00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:57,600 Speaker 1: You know what it is. You know my wife and 467 00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:00,159 Speaker 1: I do it either. Actually this is last week. I 468 00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:02,240 Speaker 1: think you are you watching it this season? Of course 469 00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:06,600 Speaker 1: we always Yeah, you're less annoyed by Peter the pilot 470 00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:08,480 Speaker 1: than I A might take it. No, I'm I'm totally 471 00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:11,119 Speaker 1: annoyed by him. I mean, he's a flim flam wishy 472 00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:15,040 Speaker 1: washy kind. But the other night, my wife and I 473 00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:16,760 Speaker 1: we were trying to find a movie and she's like, 474 00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:19,200 Speaker 1: find a comedy. We just need kind of a release. 475 00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:22,560 Speaker 1: And I'm realized that's what The Bachelor is. It's comedy. 476 00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:27,680 Speaker 1: It's comic relief. It is reality comedy. And this year's 477 00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:31,560 Speaker 1: this group of women. Holy smokes, they just top each 478 00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:35,040 Speaker 1: other here. He doesn't even feisty, doesn't even do it justice. 479 00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:39,239 Speaker 1: Holy well. The problem is that he is annoying to 480 00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:42,400 Speaker 1: me because, like you're saying, he's just constantly changing his mind. 481 00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:45,320 Speaker 1: So I feel like the story can't move forward because 482 00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:47,679 Speaker 1: we just can't get past anything with him because he 483 00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:49,639 Speaker 1: just keeps changing his mind. Yeah, does he does keep 484 00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:51,679 Speaker 1: changing it. I just want to know does he know 485 00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:54,640 Speaker 1: what the Bachelor is before he said it for this show, 486 00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:58,359 Speaker 1: because it's no understanding. He was on it, he should know. 487 00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:01,680 Speaker 1: But then again, he wasn't making any decisions. Yeah, yeah, 488 00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:04,840 Speaker 1: who's to say? All right, So we had our department 489 00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:08,359 Speaker 1: meeting on Monday before Mark took off and went to 490 00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:12,080 Speaker 1: his big leadership meeting, and we were kind of tossed 491 00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:14,479 Speaker 1: around ideas, and you know, the think tank got together 492 00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:16,800 Speaker 1: and decided, you know, what would be a really cool 493 00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:20,040 Speaker 1: thing is let's go back and kind of do some 494 00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:23,119 Speaker 1: you know, some Oscar superlatives. You know, we're gonna talk 495 00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:24,720 Speaker 1: a little bit about the oscars later in the week 496 00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:26,840 Speaker 1: because there's Sunday, and we thought, you know, why not 497 00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:32,640 Speaker 1: why not write a little bit about the best actor 498 00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:37,120 Speaker 1: in a comedy film? And thought, well, no, that doesn't 499 00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:40,399 Speaker 1: really work for football, So why don't we give out 500 00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:44,480 Speaker 1: like our football Oscars and let's all put on our 501 00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:47,960 Speaker 1: nominations and hopefully we'll all come up with different nominations. 502 00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:51,040 Speaker 1: And we all you sat down and came up with 503 00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:55,120 Speaker 1: the various categories that are gonna be out, and you're 504 00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:58,200 Speaker 1: gonna unveil ease one day after the next. And it's 505 00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:00,720 Speaker 1: basically the four of us meet you, Mark and Drew, 506 00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:05,119 Speaker 1: putting our thoughts for some of the categories, not not 507 00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:09,000 Speaker 1: for some. For the categories that you came up with, 508 00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:10,800 Speaker 1: and the first one you came up with, I thought 509 00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:14,520 Speaker 1: it would be really good to kind of chat about 510 00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:20,399 Speaker 1: on radio because for today, your category for the oscar 511 00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:21,960 Speaker 1: and I wish I had like a deep voice guy 512 00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:25,560 Speaker 1: or somebody to say, yeah, the music, oh mape, wait, 513 00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:27,080 Speaker 1: hold on, let me see if I can find the music. 514 00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:32,959 Speaker 1: There's the music right there. Okay, the best catch of 515 00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:36,680 Speaker 1: twenty nineteen. Now, over the next few days, you're gonna 516 00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:39,480 Speaker 1: have on Wednesday, the best run of the year, the 517 00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:43,320 Speaker 1: best defensive play, the best third or fourth down conversion, 518 00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:46,160 Speaker 1: the best touchdown, the best regular season win. It's gonna 519 00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:48,040 Speaker 1: be pretty fun. But when you sent it, I saw 520 00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:52,560 Speaker 1: best catch of twenty nineteen, I immediately had an answer. 521 00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:58,600 Speaker 1: Immediately had an answer. And it was not even really 522 00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:02,720 Speaker 1: supposed to be a catch. Well, it was supposed to 523 00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:04,119 Speaker 1: be a catch, but it was going to be a 524 00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:07,439 Speaker 1: catch off an option pitch. But it just happened to 525 00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:12,240 Speaker 1: go forward and to Shaun Watson against the New England Patriots, 526 00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:17,520 Speaker 1: making the catch of the DeAndre Hopkins throw to me 527 00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:20,200 Speaker 1: was the catch of the year. First and goal from 528 00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:23,200 Speaker 1: the sixth to Sean hands off to Jopson, Now to 529 00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:25,800 Speaker 1: hop right side, who flips to ballto Watson diving for 530 00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:31,959 Speaker 1: the pylon. That he's got it, razzle Tassel touchdown Houston. Now, 531 00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:34,440 Speaker 1: I just think that play, and I love the way 532 00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:36,680 Speaker 1: that Mark described it because he had it completely down 533 00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:39,720 Speaker 1: the bass, change in hands, there's all kinds of things 534 00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:44,520 Speaker 1: going on, and then Hop tucks it, draws the defender flips, 535 00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:47,120 Speaker 1: it ends up going forward, Watson catches it, scores. So 536 00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:50,320 Speaker 1: I did a little history deep, Yes, little research an 537 00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:53,960 Speaker 1: unlikely receiver for best catch. Yeah, it was like the receiver. 538 00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:57,360 Speaker 1: Because I love that play, I may be using that 539 00:28:57,400 --> 00:29:05,960 Speaker 1: exact same play later on as a nominee for another understood. Yeah, 540 00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:08,160 Speaker 1: I did a little research and I found out that 541 00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:13,520 Speaker 1: from the Shawn's perspective. Now I don't go back. I 542 00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:15,360 Speaker 1: didn't see his high school stats, so I don't know, 543 00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:19,000 Speaker 1: but I could see his college stats. He never had 544 00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:21,840 Speaker 1: a reception in college, so he definitely didn't have a 545 00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:24,520 Speaker 1: reception TD. He'd been here for three years, did not 546 00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:28,040 Speaker 1: have a reception or a reception TD until that one. 547 00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:31,800 Speaker 1: Then you go to the Texans side of it. Historically speaking, 548 00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:37,520 Speaker 1: it is the only reception by a quarterback for positive 549 00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:42,240 Speaker 1: yardage and it's the only touchdown that a quarterback has 550 00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:45,640 Speaker 1: ever received. Broadcast swaller Day were going to match shop. 551 00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:49,840 Speaker 1: All had receptions, but they were all negative yardage. So 552 00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:52,160 Speaker 1: to me, the catch of the year was by DeShawn 553 00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:55,880 Speaker 1: Watson against New England Patriots. As you just heard, that 554 00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:57,840 Speaker 1: was a fun player. I remember after that game, I 555 00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:00,120 Speaker 1: was in the locker room and we were talking to 556 00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:04,320 Speaker 1: Laramie Tunsil and I asked him, I said, so, does 557 00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:09,480 Speaker 1: anything about that play surprise you? And he said it's Watson. Yeah, nothing. 558 00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:12,520 Speaker 1: I mean, he looked at him. Nothing surprises me, he does, 559 00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:14,960 Speaker 1: he said, and I think he said something to the effective. 560 00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:17,120 Speaker 1: This is just what he does. He does this all 561 00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:19,760 Speaker 1: the time. I said, but this is his first touchdown catch. 562 00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:23,280 Speaker 1: And he turns to Watson, who's like like a few 563 00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:25,800 Speaker 1: lockers next to him, and he said, bro, you've never 564 00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:28,640 Speaker 1: caught a touchdown before. And then Watson said not in 565 00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:31,719 Speaker 1: the NFL, which and not in college either. Well, so 566 00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:34,120 Speaker 1: then I thought, okay, so that was something I was 567 00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:35,600 Speaker 1: going to go back and ask why did he ever 568 00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:38,080 Speaker 1: catch when at Clemson? But he's definitely caught one before, 569 00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:40,800 Speaker 1: but not then. It must have been in high school. 570 00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:44,720 Speaker 1: Now here's the thing, because DeAndre Hopkins has thrown a 571 00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:49,440 Speaker 1: touchdown before and at Clemson. That's right when Clemson ran 572 00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:53,520 Speaker 1: kind of a version of Philly Special he threw one 573 00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:57,000 Speaker 1: to tajh Boyd, not to Deshaun Watson. So DeAndre Hopkins 574 00:30:57,360 --> 00:31:02,280 Speaker 1: has thrown a touchdown. Before speaking DeAndre Hopkins, imagine he 575 00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:06,640 Speaker 1: came up in some of ours yours for twenty nineteen 576 00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:08,520 Speaker 1: was I felt like, I felt like, if I'm gonna 577 00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:11,760 Speaker 1: go best catch, I gotta go Hopkins because he just 578 00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:14,800 Speaker 1: makes the best catches. So my favorite catch of his 579 00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:19,320 Speaker 1: this season was Week twelve against Indie Thursday Night Football. 580 00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:21,880 Speaker 1: It was late in the first quarter and third and six, 581 00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:25,320 Speaker 1: third down and six from the fifty. Watson of the gun, 582 00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:28,440 Speaker 1: Hopkins in motion to the right side, settles into a bunch. 583 00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:31,920 Speaker 1: Watson gets to snap, there's pressure. Deshow scrambles out to 584 00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:35,240 Speaker 1: the right, throws right sideline and hitch DeAndre. They're gonna 585 00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:37,800 Speaker 1: say that he was out of bounds. Boy, you want 586 00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:41,400 Speaker 1: to look at this toe drag it before here comes 587 00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:44,440 Speaker 1: the back judge in there got the field judge fast. 588 00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:47,280 Speaker 1: We need a replay fast on the big board and 589 00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:50,080 Speaker 1: on the monitors. Oh, they're gonna call it a catch, 590 00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:53,640 Speaker 1: all right. So that was just that was such a 591 00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:56,680 Speaker 1: gorgeous catch because I don't think there's very many receivers 592 00:31:56,680 --> 00:32:00,200 Speaker 1: that can make that that catch on that throw, and 593 00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:04,240 Speaker 1: the way he extended his entire body like it was, 594 00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:08,280 Speaker 1: it was like a perfect forty five degree angle, completely straight. 595 00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:10,720 Speaker 1: His toes were straight feet and bounds, and I think 596 00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:13,960 Speaker 1: one of the refs actually ruled it out or said 597 00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:16,440 Speaker 1: it was and then the other one and then the 598 00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:18,920 Speaker 1: other one overturned in. And I think hop later after 599 00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:21,600 Speaker 1: the game said, well, I mean he knows it's DeAndre Hopkins, 600 00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:23,520 Speaker 1: all right, so he knows that it's a catch because 601 00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:25,120 Speaker 1: they went back and looked at it. Sure enough, it 602 00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:28,000 Speaker 1: was a catch and it was outstanding even when you 603 00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:31,480 Speaker 1: watched it in SloMo and on replay that he was 604 00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:33,800 Speaker 1: able to make that. But you know, I think that's 605 00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:36,880 Speaker 1: just him. That's he's like poetry and action. Yeah, he's 606 00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:41,200 Speaker 1: he's very good. Now our Steve Colley Mark Vanimer chimed 607 00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:43,920 Speaker 1: in and he said he likes he likes to do 608 00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:46,920 Speaker 1: the under the radar sort of plays. Yeah. I think 609 00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:48,720 Speaker 1: he feels like, well, it's too easy to go Hopkins 610 00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:52,160 Speaker 1: or Watson catch. He said, the best catches always going 611 00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:54,840 Speaker 1: to belong to DeAndre Hopkins, which is true. I think 612 00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:59,320 Speaker 1: physically speaking, the catch that he made that you're talking 613 00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:04,600 Speaker 1: about against the culture was fantastic, he said. Jordan Nakens 614 00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:07,640 Speaker 1: fifty three yard catching run versus the Chargers second and 615 00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:10,840 Speaker 1: ten from the Houston forty seven no backs. Here's the snap, 616 00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:14,840 Speaker 1: Watson looking, Watson in trouble. Watson escapes and he throws 617 00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:17,240 Speaker 1: last mall mag and he's got Akins across the forty 618 00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:20,560 Speaker 1: thirty five right side for twenty five twenty fifteen ten 619 00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:28,280 Speaker 1: five in traffic touchdown. Jordan Nakens fifty three yards. This 620 00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:31,720 Speaker 1: to me and the catch is the easiest part of 621 00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:35,240 Speaker 1: this whole play because DeShawn breaks out of the pocket 622 00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:39,000 Speaker 1: where he's getting pressure from I believe it was Joey Bosa, 623 00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:41,959 Speaker 1: Bosa are Ingram one or the other gets pressure right 624 00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:44,680 Speaker 1: away and he breaks away and then he's going to 625 00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:49,040 Speaker 1: his left, sees Akins, flips it back and ends up 626 00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:52,040 Speaker 1: making the catch and then turns that into a fifty 627 00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:55,320 Speaker 1: three yard catching run. He said. Aikens td catch was 628 00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:56,560 Speaker 1: the second of the game, and it wasn't so much 629 00:33:56,560 --> 00:33:58,600 Speaker 1: the reception stuff, but what he did with it afterwards, 630 00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:01,320 Speaker 1: scoring the final touchdown of the afternoon to help nail 631 00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:04,880 Speaker 1: down a big win on the road. I think I 632 00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:07,400 Speaker 1: agree with that sentiment. It wasn't so much about the catch, 633 00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:11,239 Speaker 1: but the fact of what he turned that into. Uh. 634 00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:18,160 Speaker 1: Then there's our buddy, Drew Dorty. Now we talked about this, 635 00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:21,719 Speaker 1: and we've talked about this before DP week one. What 636 00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:28,359 Speaker 1: do you remember most about Week one in New Orleans? Well, 637 00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:31,600 Speaker 1: obviously the fourth quarter, the drive, no, no, no, before 638 00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:36,160 Speaker 1: the game even started. On our way to the Superdome. 639 00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:40,719 Speaker 1: What do you remember the most about our trip? Do 640 00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:43,200 Speaker 1: you remember a player playing for the first time for 641 00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:45,480 Speaker 1: us sitting a few steps, a few seats in front 642 00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:48,879 Speaker 1: of us. I was like, where, what did happen? Yes? Oh, yes, 643 00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:52,040 Speaker 1: Kenny Stills was sitting on our busy and I don't 644 00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:54,560 Speaker 1: know he does not know this, but we were trying 645 00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:57,360 Speaker 1: to figure out what color his suit was. Suit was beautiful, 646 00:34:57,400 --> 00:35:00,200 Speaker 1: It was a sharp looking, it was beautiful. It was 647 00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:02,239 Speaker 1: like it was like a light green. So we are 648 00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:07,839 Speaker 1: debating is it a mint stasio? So that we had 649 00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:10,080 Speaker 1: this text chain going on, and I believe Jesse Clarks 650 00:35:10,120 --> 00:35:11,919 Speaker 1: in social media was actually sitting right next to Yeah, 651 00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:13,640 Speaker 1: right next to him, and I thought he better turn 652 00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:15,759 Speaker 1: his phone to the site because I would be mortified 653 00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:19,760 Speaker 1: because I texted a color chart of all of our 654 00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:22,840 Speaker 1: different nominations for color was and I thought, I, if 655 00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:25,600 Speaker 1: Kenny just even looks over and sees that, he's going 656 00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:27,879 Speaker 1: to know exactly what we're talking about. And we were, 657 00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:29,200 Speaker 1: and I didn't want him to think we were making 658 00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:31,239 Speaker 1: fun of him. We were just fascinated by the fact 659 00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:33,880 Speaker 1: thinking about it is. Knowing Kenny now, he would probably 660 00:35:34,040 --> 00:35:35,960 Speaker 1: he would laugh about that because we would ask him, 661 00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:38,080 Speaker 1: do what color that? Like? He would be totally he 662 00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:40,400 Speaker 1: and you know, we we didn't know him that well. 663 00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:42,680 Speaker 1: I had not even he had been there like four 664 00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:45,719 Speaker 1: or five days. If that, I don't think we'd none 665 00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:47,520 Speaker 1: of us had even spoken to him. I don't even 666 00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:50,440 Speaker 1: think we did introduced ourselves appropriately. What was pretty cool 667 00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:54,040 Speaker 1: is before that game, he he was on it. So 668 00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:56,919 Speaker 1: it goes dark because they're introducing the Saints, and so 669 00:35:56,960 --> 00:35:58,480 Speaker 1: when the guys come out of the tunnel, they kind 670 00:35:58,520 --> 00:36:00,840 Speaker 1: of run down to one side and they kind of stretch, 671 00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:03,200 Speaker 1: take a second, maybe say a quick prayer, whatever, and 672 00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:06,000 Speaker 1: then they come back and he saw me and he 673 00:36:06,120 --> 00:36:07,719 Speaker 1: just gave me a big bear hug, and I was 674 00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:09,560 Speaker 1: just like this, why you're here, man, show him why 675 00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:10,800 Speaker 1: to night, why we brought you here? And all this 676 00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:13,480 Speaker 1: kind of stuff. That kind of well, I didn't never 677 00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:15,400 Speaker 1: talk to him. Oh really, that kind of become our 678 00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:17,000 Speaker 1: ritual before the game. And then for a couple of 679 00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:19,800 Speaker 1: games we didn't do it. And then before the Tennessee 680 00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:22,400 Speaker 1: game he did it again. He like waited for me 681 00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:24,920 Speaker 1: and did it and then had two touchdowns. So that 682 00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:26,640 Speaker 1: was kind of like little Richard before the game before 683 00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:29,440 Speaker 1: his pregame good luck, right, I like, I like that. 684 00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:33,480 Speaker 1: That was pretty cool. I like that too, now right before. 685 00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:37,520 Speaker 1: First of all, I love how football players are so superstitious. 686 00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:40,560 Speaker 1: This happened to me once several years back. True, remember 687 00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:44,200 Speaker 1: Quentin Demps, So Quentin Demps before we played Tampa Bay 688 00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:47,000 Speaker 1: several years ago. Yeah, I had told him. I told him, 689 00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:49,480 Speaker 1: I said, oh, the last time the Texans played him, 690 00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:51,839 Speaker 1: but you had to pick yeah in the game. And 691 00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:53,960 Speaker 1: I reminded him of that. And then he got to 692 00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:57,400 Speaker 1: pick against Tampa Bay in that game. And then I 693 00:36:57,400 --> 00:36:58,960 Speaker 1: didn't talk to him, and then I talked to him. 694 00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:01,040 Speaker 1: I believe a few weeks he got another pick, and 695 00:37:01,040 --> 00:37:03,239 Speaker 1: then he said to me, whenever you talk to me 696 00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:06,000 Speaker 1: the week before the game, I get an interception, So 697 00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:09,040 Speaker 1: you have to talk. And I felt like this immense 698 00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:12,040 Speaker 1: pressure Johnny, like I should have been flattered, but I 699 00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:13,799 Speaker 1: felt this immense pressure, like, well, what if I talked 700 00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:15,479 Speaker 1: to him and he doesn't get a pick, it's gonna 701 00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:17,040 Speaker 1: be my fault? Or what if I don't talk to him. 702 00:37:17,080 --> 00:37:19,319 Speaker 1: I started feeling that that pressure a little bit, and 703 00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:21,360 Speaker 1: and luckily Kenny realized it because then he did it. 704 00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:23,399 Speaker 1: And then against Tennessee it to touchdown, so I felt 705 00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:25,760 Speaker 1: pretty good. Then he had a touchdown against the Chiefs 706 00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:28,400 Speaker 1: as well in the playoff game. That was That was 707 00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:31,520 Speaker 1: my other Really, um, I guess an honorable mention if 708 00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:33,799 Speaker 1: you will. Yeah, well, we gotta get to Drew's first. Oh, 709 00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:36,520 Speaker 1: go ahead, get to Drew. Speaking of Kenny Stills, how 710 00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:40,440 Speaker 1: could we not forget the catch that Kenny Stills had 711 00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:42,319 Speaker 1: to put the Texans in the lead in Week one 712 00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:45,080 Speaker 1: on first half on the Saints thirty seven. Here's the snap, 713 00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:48,880 Speaker 1: the Sean firing down field and he's got a man 714 00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:55,040 Speaker 1: Stills touchdown. Yustin, Oh my goodness, DP, I don't know 715 00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:57,759 Speaker 1: exactly where you were. I think you were if you 716 00:37:57,800 --> 00:37:59,319 Speaker 1: were still up in this press box at that point 717 00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:04,800 Speaker 1: on the sideline. It was bedlam, absolute and complete total 718 00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:12,160 Speaker 1: chaotic bedlam, because on the play before that, DeAndre Hopkins 719 00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:15,359 Speaker 1: made a catch down the sideline that was equally as 720 00:38:15,400 --> 00:38:18,440 Speaker 1: just unbelievable as that one first half of text. Insically, 721 00:38:18,440 --> 00:38:20,919 Speaker 1: here's been twenty five Watson of the gun Texans down 722 00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:24,600 Speaker 1: six fifty seconds to go. Nashan gets to snap four 723 00:38:24,680 --> 00:38:28,040 Speaker 1: man rush Watson stepping up, he heaves it downfield to 724 00:38:28,160 --> 00:38:30,719 Speaker 1: his left and he's got DeAndre Hopkins. So it was 725 00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:35,160 Speaker 1: wrestled out of bounds in Saints territory. Wow, at the 726 00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:39,600 Speaker 1: thirty seven yard line. What a play. So hot makes 727 00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:42,200 Speaker 1: that catch and we're looking at the clock and all 728 00:38:42,239 --> 00:38:45,080 Speaker 1: the scouts were down in front of me. James Lipford, 729 00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:48,640 Speaker 1: Matt Bazigan, they were both down there. You had Kyl 730 00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:52,879 Speaker 1: and Janis had come down there, and Hannah they were 731 00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:55,560 Speaker 1: down there as well, and so we see how to 732 00:38:55,560 --> 00:38:57,800 Speaker 1: make the catch, and we're like, well, we got a chance. 733 00:38:57,840 --> 00:39:01,080 Speaker 1: So we started to drive at the twenty five throw 734 00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:02,719 Speaker 1: it down. So all of a sudden were now on 735 00:39:02,719 --> 00:39:05,440 Speaker 1: the other side, and so I had to run down there. 736 00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:07,319 Speaker 1: I get down there and there's just massive people. So 737 00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:09,759 Speaker 1: in the last five minutes or all these drew comes 738 00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:14,040 Speaker 1: down as well, and so We're like looking at the clock, 739 00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:16,000 Speaker 1: late man, we got time for this. They only got time. 740 00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:18,239 Speaker 1: And then he does it on one play. We had 741 00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:20,120 Speaker 1: too much time, You had too much time, and he 742 00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:22,960 Speaker 1: throws it and I swear Kenny catches that ball and 743 00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:27,920 Speaker 1: I'm screaming in Mark's here Stills. Stills Still's got it, like, 744 00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:30,080 Speaker 1: you know, because we're not, because you know, Kenny still 745 00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:34,839 Speaker 1: new to us, and so it's it's phenomenal. I mean, 746 00:39:35,520 --> 00:39:39,160 Speaker 1: it's mass hysteria, mass hysteria. I'm jumping on top of guys. 747 00:39:39,200 --> 00:39:41,000 Speaker 1: Guys who jumping on top of me. It was it 748 00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:43,680 Speaker 1: was unbelievable because I don't think anybody really thought, can 749 00:39:43,719 --> 00:39:45,960 Speaker 1: we do this in seventy you know, eighty yards and 750 00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:48,239 Speaker 1: thirty you know whatever? It was fifty some seconds and 751 00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:50,759 Speaker 1: we didn't do plays, and no one knew what to 752 00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:53,120 Speaker 1: expect from Kenny Stills. Everyone was so focused on the 753 00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:55,759 Speaker 1: Laramie Tunseil part of that train. Yeah, but it was like, oh, okay, 754 00:39:55,840 --> 00:39:58,120 Speaker 1: Kenny Stills. Great. Maybe maybe there'll be a spot for 755 00:39:58,200 --> 00:40:01,160 Speaker 1: him somewhere, but for him makes such a bit play 756 00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:03,560 Speaker 1: in such a big game, and his first game where 757 00:40:03,640 --> 00:40:05,200 Speaker 1: I mean he was still trying to figure out where 758 00:40:05,200 --> 00:40:08,040 Speaker 1: but the cafeteria was Yeah, exactly, he really was. It 759 00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:12,319 Speaker 1: really was. So I had Deshaun Watson's touchdown catch drew 760 00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:15,760 Speaker 1: head to Kenny Stills touchdown grab. You had DeAndre Hopkins 761 00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:21,600 Speaker 1: catch against the Indianapolis Colts. Mark had Jordan Nakin's second touchdown, 762 00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:25,120 Speaker 1: the fifty three yarder against the Chargers. So I know 763 00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:28,000 Speaker 1: there were some that probably ended up on the honorable 764 00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:31,239 Speaker 1: mentioned side. And you mentioned Kenny Stills against Kansas City 765 00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:33,360 Speaker 1: the playoff game on third and one from the Houston 766 00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:36,600 Speaker 1: forty six. Here's the snap from Martin wats it to 767 00:40:36,719 --> 00:40:39,960 Speaker 1: throw airs it out left side. Daft Field steals across 768 00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:43,399 Speaker 1: the twenty five twenty fifteen ten five rock and roll 769 00:40:43,760 --> 00:40:47,600 Speaker 1: Hughsted strikes first. I think one that we again, it 770 00:40:47,640 --> 00:40:49,239 Speaker 1: goes back to. It's probably a little more about the 771 00:40:49,320 --> 00:40:53,280 Speaker 1: shawn and the play than the catch. But Darren Fells 772 00:40:53,320 --> 00:40:55,800 Speaker 1: the eye kick, I mean DeShawn get kicked in the 773 00:40:55,880 --> 00:40:58,600 Speaker 1: eye and Darren Fells going up and making that catch 774 00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:02,120 Speaker 1: against the Oakland Raiders. I mean that's another one, first 775 00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:04,399 Speaker 1: and goal at the nine. The Sean calls for the ball. 776 00:41:04,440 --> 00:41:07,399 Speaker 1: Here's the snap, Watson looking pocket collapsing wats to try 777 00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:09,560 Speaker 1: to get away. He does to the right, throws to 778 00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:15,040 Speaker 1: the endsall cot Fie fells magical touchdown Houston and the 779 00:41:15,080 --> 00:41:17,640 Speaker 1: Tech Sands take the lead. I would be remiss if 780 00:41:17,640 --> 00:41:20,320 Speaker 1: we didn't mention some Will Fuller plays, of course, because 781 00:41:20,320 --> 00:41:25,160 Speaker 1: he had some tremendous, tremendous plays he had against the Saints. 782 00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:27,759 Speaker 1: That fifty four yard catch with less than three minutes 783 00:41:27,800 --> 00:41:30,399 Speaker 1: left in the first quarter, Tod that's the snap, takes 784 00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:33,319 Speaker 1: the gain, plants in the end cell and fires deep 785 00:41:33,400 --> 00:41:36,399 Speaker 1: taft field and here's Faller and he makes the catch 786 00:41:36,480 --> 00:41:41,120 Speaker 1: inside the Saints forty yard line. Huge play Watson, So 787 00:41:41,360 --> 00:41:45,080 Speaker 1: Will welcome back Fuller deep. When he made that catch, 788 00:41:45,239 --> 00:41:48,640 Speaker 1: I was I was like, okay, man, we're back. Will's 789 00:41:48,680 --> 00:41:50,560 Speaker 1: going deep. And it was a tougher catch, and you 790 00:41:50,600 --> 00:41:54,000 Speaker 1: thought because the coverage was actually fairly deep. Apple, right, yeah, 791 00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:55,480 Speaker 1: Eli Apple, And he had to he had to sort 792 00:41:55,480 --> 00:41:57,839 Speaker 1: of pluck it over his hand. It was a tough catch. 793 00:41:57,960 --> 00:41:59,560 Speaker 1: It was a great catch. And then you know, we 794 00:41:59,719 --> 00:42:01,520 Speaker 1: know he knew like we didn't really see much of 795 00:42:01,560 --> 00:42:03,799 Speaker 1: Will Fuller th rock camp and the offseason, so it 796 00:42:03,880 --> 00:42:06,840 Speaker 1: just felt like, Okay, he is bad. Yeah, I was 797 00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:10,160 Speaker 1: excited for him on that play. Just to see that 798 00:42:10,280 --> 00:42:12,040 Speaker 1: just as he is wheels, just to see him taking 799 00:42:12,080 --> 00:42:14,080 Speaker 1: the catch, I just felt like, Okay, here he is. Yeah, 800 00:42:14,080 --> 00:42:17,400 Speaker 1: it was it was cool. Um. Here another one you 801 00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:20,280 Speaker 1: mentioned DeAndre Hopkins the third and six catch on the sideline. 802 00:42:21,080 --> 00:42:24,320 Speaker 1: When I saw Colts and your email, I thought about 803 00:42:24,360 --> 00:42:26,520 Speaker 1: this catch that he had as the game winner on 804 00:42:26,600 --> 00:42:29,080 Speaker 1: Thursday night against the Colts. Second and ten at the 805 00:42:29,080 --> 00:42:32,080 Speaker 1: Colts thirty empty backfield. After Johnson goes in motion to 806 00:42:32,080 --> 00:42:34,960 Speaker 1: the right side second down, Watson gets the snap of 807 00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:36,680 Speaker 1: the ears it out deep down the upt side.
