00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:07,200

8
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:25,319
Speaker 3: You had some help to that was good. Yeah, my

9
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:28,600
Speaker 3: young son Liam VanderMeer helped out, if you want to

10
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:31,200
Speaker 3: call it. That ended up eating a lot, of course

11
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 3: and doing those carnival games which are such a value.

12
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:36,800
Speaker 1: No, it's fun to be out there. I think a

13
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:37,680
Speaker 1: lot of people get.

14
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:40,839
Speaker 3: Freebies or something because I'm thinking, how does everyone afford

15
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:41,520
Speaker 3: to do this?

16
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 1: These are these? I mean they add up?

17
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:46,840
Speaker 3: You know, you do the basketball shoot and I'm trying

18
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:48,879
Speaker 3: to pop the balloon with the thing and throw over

19
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:51,159
Speaker 3: the bowling pins that weigh a thousand pounds each and

20
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:53,239
Speaker 3: after a wait a minute, what happened to my one

21
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:54,560
Speaker 3: hundred and fifty dollars?

22
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:57,320
Speaker 1: It's gone? Yeah, but I get it. It's fun.

23
00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 3: And saw Kelly Clarkson, Oh did you Yeah, she's got.

24
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:04,760
Speaker 1: A hell of a voice. I mean, this is not

25
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 1: I like Clarkson.

26
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 4: I like it her.

27
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:11,680
Speaker 3: So she comes out and that's an elite voice. I mean,

28
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 3: there's some people can sing, and there's some people who

29
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 3: could sing like that, and she's one of the very

30
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 3: best we have.

31
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:21,679
Speaker 2: She's she is tremendous. She was obviously the very first

32
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:24,040
Speaker 2: American Idol winner. And I remember my wife and I

33
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:27,320
Speaker 2: watched that from the beginning and I was just blown away.

34
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 2: I mean the concept of American Idol, it blows you away too,

35
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:34,480
Speaker 2: but it's gotten so much more, where like they have

36
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 2: people that are in bands that gig all the time.

37
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:40,680
Speaker 2: American Idol back then was just yeah, I like to sing,

38
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:43,480
Speaker 2: I think good. Yeah, and then they go sing in

39
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:45,840
Speaker 2: front of three judges and they're like, yeah, keep coming in,

40
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 2: showing up, and we're gonna put it on TV.

41
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 1: And she was tremendous. It's like a lot of reality shows.

42
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 3: In the early days of reality shows, people weren't as

43
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 3: aware that they could become a star that's based on

44
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 3: their time on the reality show.

45
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:00,160
Speaker 1: Now everyone seems to know that good Week.

46
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 2: It was good. I felt like Sunday was one of

47
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 2: the I don't eclectic is kind of the word I

48
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 2: want to use. But Sunday was one of the coolest

49
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 2: sports days in a sense that college basketball, yeah, golf, right,

50
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 2: the Oscars, yeah, baseball, that miss anything.

51
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:24,240
Speaker 3: I think there were Indy cars in Dallas around the sea. Yeah, yeah,

52
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:27,919
Speaker 3: Indy cars in Dallas. Like there was something for everybody.

53
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,080
Speaker 3: And I know a lot of people that know me,

54
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:32,639
Speaker 3: they think, well, you're in his footballer. I mean, I

55
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 3: I played three sports in high school, I coached three sports.

56
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 3: I love all sports, and probably the one that my dad,

57
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 3: my dad thought it was gonna be the best, that

58
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 3: was golf, and so I like watching especially the players.

59
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:45,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, I like the players Championship.

60
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 2: I mean we used to live like right across the

61
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 2: street basically from Sawgrass. Never been there, but it was

62
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:56,119
Speaker 2: always it's that event. It's that event like people get really.

63
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 2: I mean it's not quite Rodeo status because it's only

64
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 2: for a weekend, but it's kind of like that, Like

65
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 2: Rodeo is to Houston, players is to Jacksonville. And that

66
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 2: ending was incredible. Cameron Young to drive on eighteen, you

67
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:12,520
Speaker 2: know the way those two plates seventeen before that, I mean,

68
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:14,360
Speaker 2: it was it was fun to watch he and my.

69
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 1: Play seventeen before. Yeah, yeah, I got it on the green.

70
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:19,959
Speaker 1: But I three putted, but I got it on the green,

71
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:20,920
Speaker 1: so that's all.

72
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:23,239
Speaker 3: You get it there, and you're like, I was far

73
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:25,399
Speaker 3: from the hole and if you're you know, it's kind

74
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:29,520
Speaker 3: of a kidney bean. Yeah, yeah, el kidney bean. And

75
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:31,639
Speaker 3: I was as far away from the hole as you

76
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:33,800
Speaker 3: could get. But I didn't care. I got it on

77
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 3: the green. Agree, That's all that mattered. Nobody cared. You

78
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 3: got it four. Yeah, you just got it on the green. Yeah,

79
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 3: so what I got. Nobody will ever ask on seventeen

80
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 3: what was your score?

81
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 4: Right?

82
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 1: They always want to know, did you get it on

83
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 1: the green? Exactly? That's all that you did.

84
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 3: And I was so proud of myself at the time.

85
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 3: But that eighteenth reminds me of the eighteenth at Golf

86
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 3: Club of Houston where the Houston Open used to be,

87
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 3: because it you know, you have to hit it over

88
00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 3: the water. It's on the right side of the water.

89
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 3: It has a little bend to It reminds me a

90
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 3: lot of that hole and that hole. Whatever I've played

91
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 3: it is kind of daunting, and it reminds me of Slagress.

92
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 2: So there it is. The college basketball was outstanding. Oh yeah,

93
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 2: all weekend long. I know people will hear this and

94
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,360
Speaker 2: they'll laugh and mee, they know I'm an IVY leaguer,

95
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 2: But the Yale Penn Conference championship game was as good

96
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 2: a basketball game as I've seen in forever.

97
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you show me highlights. We were watching them

98
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:28,160
Speaker 3: in studio. It was unreal, Johnny. That's what it's all about.

99
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 1: Games like that.

100
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 3: Yes, getting in, Yes, because you know the loser is

101
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 3: not getting in.

102
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 2: No, it's one big league, tiny gym is it's at Cornell.

103
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:38,360
Speaker 2: This one was at Cornell.

104
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:41,159
Speaker 3: So they had a quote neutral site. Why is Cornell hosting?

105
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 3: But it's a neutral site.

106
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 1: They just determined that, they predetermined that they're going to

107
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 1: host the whole tournament.

108
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, they host it, and they I want to say,

109
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 2: they play both the men's and women's on site. But

110
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:54,800
Speaker 2: in the IVY League eight teams the IVY League, only

111
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 2: four make the tournament. So it's one v four, two

112
00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 2: v three. So it's just semifinals on Saturday, final on

113
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 2: Sunday morning. And it this game was it was incredible.

114
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 2: I mean, Penn had a transfer who had been at

115
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:11,159
Speaker 2: Duke in Virginia. This dude put up forty and was

116
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 2: just he went off. I mean he was he was

117
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 2: like every shot fell like Kobe and it was like bang.

118
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 2: He had twenty three in the first half. TJ power.

119
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:23,920
Speaker 2: He just went off. Uh And the game ends up.

120
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 2: He pens down four with twelve seconds left. He hits

121
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:31,600
Speaker 2: two threes to tie it with two make three throws

122
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:34,560
Speaker 2: in between by Yale to put them up go. Then

123
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 2: as soon as he hits the second three, Yelle inbounds

124
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 2: and from the other side of the court, their point

125
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 2: guard fires won at.

126
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:45,880
Speaker 1: The rim and hits the back rim. Yeah, that was

127
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:46,839
Speaker 1: that looked like it was good.

128
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:48,920
Speaker 2: It looked like it was going in. It was incredible.

129
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:52,719
Speaker 2: And then then Penn ended up winning. But Arkansas was Vanderbon,

130
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 2: Arkansas was great. Michigan Purdue was good. Purdue ends up

131
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 2: winning that. Congratulations to them.

132
00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 3: How does Arkansas win the SEC tournament and get four

133
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:04,720
Speaker 3: and get a four joke? So there was a little

134
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 3: paradox this weekend that Arkansas, because Florida is a one, right,

135
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 3: so Florida's outstanding, but they lost in the semifinals. Arkansas

136
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:14,720
Speaker 3: wins the whole freaking tournament and They're not like this

137
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 3: five hundred in the conference team that got hot in

138
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 3: the conference tournament and wins it. They're a good team

139
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:23,279
Speaker 3: in the conference tournament and they win it and they're

140
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 3: a four, which makes no sense to me. And as

141
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 3: I complain about that, I'll complain about Miami of Ohio

142
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 3: being in a play in And I know people think, well, Mark,

143
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:34,159
Speaker 3: they made the tournament.

144
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 1: Sorry, come on, come.

145
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 3: On, the play in the Longhorns. That's what the playing

146
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 3: is for right there. You know where you have two.

147
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:45,719
Speaker 2: Eleven's the Power Conference teams, it's not going to call

148
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:46,360
Speaker 2: them power four.

149
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:48,040
Speaker 1: The Power Conference.

150
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:51,799
Speaker 2: Teams that seem to be underchieved, struggle at the end, yes.

151
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 3: Get hot enough to get to that platte where it's

152
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 3: like you're not quite in, but.

153
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 1: You need this. That's who needs to play in that game.

154
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 3: And I know it's technically in the tournament, but come on,

155
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 3: you're not really in the bracket if you're in the

156
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 3: first four on Tuesday. So Miami of Ohio, you win

157
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:10,040
Speaker 3: thirty one games, oh, but Mark the schedule, listen. Then

158
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 3: don't let them into Division one. Don't let that league

159
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 3: in Division one. If you're saying that this isn't worthy.

160
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 3: Thirty one wins and you run the table in the league.

161
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 3: I know they lost the conference tournament to U mass

162
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 3: but that should be enough to get you in the

163
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 3: NCAA tournament.

164
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 1: Otherwise, what is Division one? Well you see these leagues. No,

165
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 1: it's all a house of cards.

166
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 3: Anyway, they won thirty one freaking games, and you brought

167
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 3: up a great point non conference schedule.

168
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 1: Who's gonna play them anyway?

169
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 2: Right?

170
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 1: I don't want to play Miami of Ohio. Nobody wants

171
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 1: to play them.

172
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 2: The same thing in college football for years years, no

173
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:46,360
Speaker 2: top tier Power four five conference team want to play

174
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 2: Boise State.

175
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 1: Didn't do them any good.

176
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 2: We can't play Boise State because a they beat us,

177
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 2: then it's it's a mark on us. But if we win,

178
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 2: we're supposed to win. So teams don't schedule. They wouldn't

179
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 2: schedule for a long time team like boy And then

180
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 2: at the end the argument becomes, well, Boys of State

181
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 2: doesn't play anybody, yeah, because nobody will. Right, nobody will

182
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,880
Speaker 2: play them. Nobody takes a chance to play them. Now

183
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 2: they will because they feel like they get some They

184
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 2: get a bank for their bucket. They beat Boise State,

185
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:15,600
Speaker 2: but now it's the same thing. And I heard it

186
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 2: was either the Miami coach or the Miami athletic director

187
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 2: who said that we attempted and had scheduled certain teams

188
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 2: and they backed out and didn't want to play us,

189
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 2: or just didn't want to play us and moved on

190
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 2: to somebody because it.

191
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 1: Hurts them to lose too. It's only gonna help you,

192
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 1: exactly right.

193
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 2: So you're never gonna have that equity in college basketball,

194
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 2: which is a shame, but I'm glad that at least

195
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:38,200
Speaker 2: get an opportunity they didn't get in.

196
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 1: I know I was gonna be furious. So I saw

197
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:40,679
Speaker 1: him in a playing a game.

198
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 2: I was like, I thought the NCAA was gonna have

199
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 2: a sense of humor in this and put Miami Ohio

200
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 2: against Auburn.

201
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 1: I thought that was gonna happen because Bruce Pearl.

202
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:53,200
Speaker 2: Had been running his mouth and all that, which, by

203
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 2: the way, I have I have an issue with I've

204
00:08:56,280 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 2: had issues with Tom Brady Raiders ownership calling games. I

205
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 2: have about the same issue with Bruce Pearl in studio

206
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:08,640
Speaker 2: examining who should be in a bubble who shouldn't when

207
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:10,840
Speaker 2: his son and his son's team and the team that

208
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 2: Pearl just left is in that mix, and now he's

209
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 2: got to talk about Miami Ohio yep, and like it's

210
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:21,720
Speaker 2: it's a total mess.

211
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:23,959
Speaker 1: And then he's caught. He's caught on.

212
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:29,839
Speaker 2: Film at his son's SEC tournament game, berating the officials

213
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 2: from the stands.

214
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:36,200
Speaker 3: Berating, you can't do that, Bruce so bad. You cannot

215
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:37,400
Speaker 3: mean that awful.

216
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 2: I was just like, okay, man, So anyhow, Okay, We've

217
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 2: talked about this a little bit, but I feel like

218
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 2: it's time to do a.

219
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:49,560
Speaker 1: Little update and a little check in.

220
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:55,559
Speaker 2: Okay, because as soon as we hit Zero's in Foxborough

221
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 2: and we walked off the field with a loss of

222
00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 2: the Patriots. Even though we we wanted to wallow in

223
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:05,440
Speaker 2: twenty twenty five a little bit more, we knew that

224
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 2: twenty twenty six was gonna be here, fast and furious,

225
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 2: and we knew that there were gonna be some decisions

226
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:13,360
Speaker 2: having to be made about players being released, let go

227
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 2: moving on from free agency, guys taking deals with other teams.

228
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:19,959
Speaker 2: But the Textas have the opportunity to bring free agents

229
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 2: in and then the draft, and so we set a

230
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:26,960
Speaker 2: course out to say what are the holes, what are

231
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:30,880
Speaker 2: the priorities. Now it's time for progress report. Now, all

232
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 2: of you know this if you played sports here in

233
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:38,720
Speaker 2: Texas well I did back in the eighties. We would

234
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:41,680
Speaker 2: have to walk around with this little card and we'd

235
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 2: have to hand it to our teachers. We walked in

236
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 2: and we had it for us. It was we had

237
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 2: six weeks. We didn't do nine weeks we did. Six

238
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 2: weeks was a grading period, and so three weeks in

239
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:54,560
Speaker 2: we'd have to walk in with our progress report, cool

240
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:56,720
Speaker 2: and we would hand to our teacher and teacher would

241
00:10:56,720 --> 00:11:00,439
Speaker 2: write in I got a ninety four right now, attitude good, whatever,

242
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:02,560
Speaker 2: And so we had to take those progress reports to

243
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 2: the coach and we had take them the coach.

244
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:07,960
Speaker 1: Coach, Kay, we're doing We're doing pretty well. How's this going?

245
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:09,680
Speaker 2: And so we used to have to sign these and

246
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 2: have these progress reports signed. So that's what we're gonna

247
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:19,200
Speaker 2: do today, Texans progress report. Now, we would usually have

248
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 2: like six to seven classes. I don't know if there

249
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:25,680
Speaker 2: are six to seven priorities that we're gonna kind of

250
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 2: see where the progress is, but we'll hit on a

251
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:29,480
Speaker 2: number of them as we go and put together our

252
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 2: progress report. Let's do it, Okay, So number one on

253
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:37,320
Speaker 2: the priority list. This is in no particular order. Running

254
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:41,440
Speaker 2: back running back. When we left the season, we left Foxborough,

255
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:47,320
Speaker 2: Nick Chubb, Daria Goombawalle, Woody Marx, British Brooks and Juwar Jordan.

256
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:52,560
Speaker 2: Now it sits we have David Montgomery in the fold,

257
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:57,600
Speaker 2: who's fantastic on Zoom the other day, Woody Marx, Juwar Jordan,

258
00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:02,440
Speaker 2: and British Brooks. So a, what's the progress? How do

259
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 2: you feel about it?

260
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 5: Be?

261
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 2: What more do you want to do, either in remaining

262
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:09,280
Speaker 2: free agency or in the draft.

263
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:12,840
Speaker 3: Mark vandermir Go, I want to draft a guy. I

264
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:15,720
Speaker 3: want to draft a guy. Look here, here's the thing.

265
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:19,720
Speaker 3: You have camp coming up. It's not just OTAs I

266
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:22,680
Speaker 3: look at training camp because it's such a grind, you

267
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 3: have such damage done to their bodies.

268
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:28,959
Speaker 1: You need at least two more guys on the roster. Okay,

269
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 1: that's how I look at it.

270
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:33,520
Speaker 3: So you'll probably draft a guy, maybe bring in one veteran,

271
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 3: but it won't be a high profile veteran at all.

272
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:38,719
Speaker 2: Like, Okay, to continue, can the veteran be dar A Gumbuale.

273
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 3: Absolutely, there's still room for Dary on this football team.

274
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 3: But Dari's the kind of guy. It's you know you're there.

275
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 3: You know we're there at now call us if somebody

276
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:52,000
Speaker 3: else makes an office, because we want to know about it,

277
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:55,960
Speaker 3: and we'll probably I don't I can't say probably, we

278
00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 3: might want to increase our offer over that amount.

279
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:00,319
Speaker 1: That's right.

280
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 3: I could see another tour of duty for Dari on

281
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:07,320
Speaker 3: this on this roster, but it hasn't happened yet and

282
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 3: we'll just see. So you're thinking too, I'm thinking too, Johnny,

283
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:13,680
Speaker 3: because I six to Camp, right, I think so?

284
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:16,319
Speaker 1: I think so? Wait, but what do we have here

285
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:17,960
Speaker 1: full back?

286
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:18,320
Speaker 4: Wise?

287
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:21,600
Speaker 1: We just have British British and he's.

288
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 2: I wanted Patrick Card, but it made sense to go

289
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:26,360
Speaker 2: to the Giants. By the way, the Giants with Patrick

290
00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 2: Card and Camp Scataboo, they may break helmets.

291
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 1: That's interesting.

292
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 3: How they may break helmets and we play them here

293
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 3: at in RG Stadium.

294
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:38,000
Speaker 2: That's gonna be fun. So yeah, three guys under contract

295
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:41,000
Speaker 2: right now, Dave Montgomery Wood, he marks Juar Jordan and

296
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:43,200
Speaker 2: then full backslash tailback British Brooks.

297
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:45,319
Speaker 1: So four, So I would I think six?

298
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:48,200
Speaker 2: I think six because you do have British you can

299
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:49,439
Speaker 2: play full back maybe.

300
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:51,400
Speaker 3: One's a full back and one's a running back. Could

301
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 3: but I still think, you know, I Vandermacha drafted Washington,

302
00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 3: so I don't want to I want to see him

303
00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:02,160
Speaker 3: come here. So maybe just bring in a full back. Okay,

304
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:04,400
Speaker 3: and maybe that leaves darry out. I don't know, but

305
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:06,439
Speaker 3: let's just give it a minute here, Okay. But Johnny,

306
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 3: I think at least two more, right, Okay, I think

307
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 3: two more is right.

308
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 2: Yeah. I like the progress going out and getting Dave Montgomery.

309
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:14,600
Speaker 2: I thought was I thought that was exceptional. Okay, I

310
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:15,680
Speaker 2: know a second priority.

311
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:15,960
Speaker 1: Now.

312
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:19,200
Speaker 2: I will preface this one by saying that to me,

313
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 2: I look at tight End and I haven't in my mind,

314
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 2: I haven't seen quite what I know. A lot of

315
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 2: a lot of people hit me with the fact that, well,

316
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 2: we need tight End help, we need tighten him, and

317
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:35,920
Speaker 2: I said, yes, I do think that we need and

318
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 2: have needed somebody as an in line. Why that you

319
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 2: know fifty seven has reported eligible, Probably don't need to

320
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:46,400
Speaker 2: do that as much with Blake Fisher reporting eligible.

321
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 1: What you did a lot this year. I'd like to

322
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 1: be able to have a y in line tight end.

323
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:55,160
Speaker 2: If somebody like a Kenyan Sadiq was available in the draft.

324
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:57,080
Speaker 1: I don't know that he gets to twenty eight. I

325
00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 1: know you had him in a vandermock.

326
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 2: I just don't know that he gets I think there

327
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:02,520
Speaker 2: might be a few teams that want to add an

328
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:06,760
Speaker 2: athletic gift from God like Kenyan Sidik to their offense.

329
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:08,400
Speaker 2: I think it might be tough to get to twenty eight.

330
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:14,000
Speaker 2: But Texans did add Foster Moreau exactly. We talked about

331
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 2: a why, in line tight end. So the tight end

332
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:23,040
Speaker 2: room sits as follows, Golden Schultz, Kate Stover, Foster Moreau

333
00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:25,400
Speaker 2: comes in as the in line why, and then Brevin

334
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:30,800
Speaker 2: Jordan is still rehabbing from the ACL progress report. Thoughts

335
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 2: where they went adding Foster Moreau. What else do you

336
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:35,600
Speaker 2: want to do to that room?

337
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 1: If anything at all?

338
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:41,760
Speaker 3: I would say, gosh, Johnny, if everything worked out great,

339
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:45,560
Speaker 3: if and by that amount, if Brevin Jordan could play,

340
00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 3: that really gives you a big boost.

341
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:51,720
Speaker 2: Either added Maroo, Add Brevin Jordan.

342
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:55,400
Speaker 3: Yes, healthy Brevin Jordan, and it gets really good because

343
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:59,040
Speaker 3: Schultz led you in catches last year, had that record

344
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:02,200
Speaker 3: tight end Texans season. If Stover stayed healthy. A lot

345
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:06,080
Speaker 3: of f's here, but it's all possible. It's not crazy

346
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:09,880
Speaker 3: to imagine that Bravi and Stover able to play fifteen

347
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:12,920
Speaker 3: games a piece something like that, and Moreau really contributing.

348
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 1: I don't know if I think you're onto the right thing.

349
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:20,680
Speaker 3: If you draft somebody it's the Deek or some crazy

350
00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:23,000
Speaker 3: he fell to us and we're gonna go ahead and

351
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:26,240
Speaker 3: take him Stowers in the second round, and you just

352
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 3: kind of a freakazoid tight end athlete type. Other than that,

353
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:33,080
Speaker 3: it's somebody you're bringing in who you know, not even

354
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:36,080
Speaker 3: a guy like Moreau, necessarily a guy who's just available,

355
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:38,120
Speaker 3: and we'll see how this works out. And sometimes it

356
00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:42,400
Speaker 3: works out very well, you know. But I think they're

357
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:44,520
Speaker 3: kind of done here. I think they're kind of done,

358
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:48,600
Speaker 3: unless you know, some star shines in their direction on

359
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:51,760
Speaker 3: draft weekend. I think they're done at tight end right now,

360
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:54,960
Speaker 3: other than adding a name, because I don't know how

361
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 3: they feel about Luke Lasche, who they drafted last year.

362
00:16:58,200 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 3: Is he progressing? Does he progress?

363
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:04,200
Speaker 2: Guys with Luke Lasche in that group, it's a big big.

364
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:07,320
Speaker 3: OTAs for him obviously, because where he was drafted figures

365
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 3: into the mix that he's got to really show you

366
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:12,720
Speaker 3: that he belongs on the Houston Texans in twenty twenty five.

367
00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:15,399
Speaker 3: They also have Lame Pryor on the roster and.

368
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:18,119
Speaker 1: Still rehabbing from whatever injury he had last chance.

369
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:20,960
Speaker 3: So I don't know what that means, but they're gonna

370
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:22,560
Speaker 3: get bred a long look here.

371
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 1: How are you coming back from the knee.

372
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:26,600
Speaker 3: There are a lot of questions, but there are a

373
00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 3: lot of answers that are right there.

374
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:30,280
Speaker 1: They just need to pan out for you. I'm with you.

375
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:35,600
Speaker 2: I think that unless there is a Sadiq or an

376
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 2: Eli Stowers that pops up in the early rounds where

377
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:43,600
Speaker 2: holy cow, we've traded down I don't know into the

378
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:46,920
Speaker 2: mid forties and the fifties and Stours is still there.

379
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:50,919
Speaker 2: He's such a boost athletically to that room. You have

380
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:52,720
Speaker 2: to take a look. And the same with Sadik. I

381
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:54,760
Speaker 2: just don't think Sadik is getting into you at twenty eight.

382
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:58,199
Speaker 2: At that point, I think adding Foster Moroa to the group,

383
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:03,240
Speaker 2: and I thought that was a massive move because I

384
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:08,399
Speaker 2: felt like it really was their acceptance of, yeah, we

385
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:10,240
Speaker 2: need somebody to put a hand in that their tight

386
00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 2: end on his own.

387
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:12,119
Speaker 1: And just block.

388
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:13,800
Speaker 2: They want to run multiple tight ends.

389
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:16,320
Speaker 3: They want to run those configurations right and get the

390
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:16,879
Speaker 3: most out of it.

391
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:19,040
Speaker 2: And if you're gonna do that, one of them better

392
00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:23,719
Speaker 2: be able to block like Foster Moreau. Now, Dalton I

393
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:27,919
Speaker 2: think enjoys that part of the game, but it's not

394
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:30,520
Speaker 2: what he does best. His best thing is you move

395
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:32,439
Speaker 2: him around, you find him in open zones, and he

396
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:33,840
Speaker 2: catches seventy five passes a year.

397
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:35,400
Speaker 1: That's what Dalton does. Well.

398
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:38,680
Speaker 2: Now, he'll fight, he'll be physical, but he's just not

399
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:40,359
Speaker 2: going to be at that level of Foster Moreau.

400
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:42,120
Speaker 1: So I think you're right at tight end. I think

401
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:43,119
Speaker 1: that's dead on.

402
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:47,520
Speaker 2: So let's get to the one I know that everybody

403
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:52,440
Speaker 2: will want to talk about, where's our progress on class

404
00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 2: number three? The offensive line? So let's put this all together.

405
00:18:56,840 --> 00:19:01,280
Speaker 2: What has been done thus far? Texans re signed Jared Kingston,

406
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:03,040
Speaker 2: which I know a lot of people are like, who, Well,

407
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:06,199
Speaker 2: Jared got here at the beginning of the year. I

408
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:08,360
Speaker 2: think he was way from somewhere else we claimed on waivers.

409
00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:10,639
Speaker 2: He stayed on the roster when Blake or when there

410
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:12,560
Speaker 2: were some guys banged up on the offensive line. He

411
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:15,919
Speaker 2: played the sixth offensive line role that Blake Fisher filled

412
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:22,159
Speaker 2: in re signed Trent Brown resigned starting right guard at Ingram,

413
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:30,919
Speaker 2: signed Brayden Smith, signed Evan Brown, traded away Titus Howard.

414
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 2: So the additions, the deletions all into a big bully

415
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:39,000
Speaker 2: base and this is I mean, I kind of I

416
00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:40,800
Speaker 2: wanted to save this one for now because I do

417
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:43,719
Speaker 2: think this is the one that needs obviously the longer

418
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:47,160
Speaker 2: talking point. I think there's a question that we won't answer,

419
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:49,560
Speaker 2: won't be able to answer until we see this team

420
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:51,879
Speaker 2: altogether lining up in a full eleven, and that is

421
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:55,440
Speaker 2: where does Braden Smith line up? I still think even

422
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:59,119
Speaker 2: though I would I would give long consideration to offensive guard,

423
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:02,000
Speaker 2: I do feel like it's going to be right tackle.

424
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 2: So either way, Brad Smith's going to be a starter.

425
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:05,720
Speaker 2: We know that we know Ariantae airy Street is going

426
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:07,720
Speaker 2: to be a starter, and we know ed Ingram is

427
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:10,800
Speaker 2: going to start more than likely at right guard. But

428
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:15,640
Speaker 2: what they've done looking forward, Hey, what do you think

429
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:19,280
Speaker 2: the progress is? B What do you think is left?

430
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:21,840
Speaker 2: Because I'm starting to hone in on what I think

431
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:26,520
Speaker 2: is going to end up being the remainder of their

432
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:28,800
Speaker 2: rebuilding or retooling.

433
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:30,080
Speaker 3: Of the offensive line. But I want to hear yours first.

434
00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:34,320
Speaker 3: Go well, this is incremental progress, right. I know a

435
00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:36,080
Speaker 3: lot of people. Look, I'm one of them. I'd love

436
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:39,080
Speaker 3: to see us solve the problem Monday at twelve oh

437
00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:44,080
Speaker 3: one right Eastern. Have everybody so I can just go

438
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:46,240
Speaker 3: to sleep at night and say we've got our offensive

439
00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:48,359
Speaker 3: line for twenty twenty five. I don't think they have

440
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:50,920
Speaker 3: their offensive line yet. They can play with the guys

441
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:52,840
Speaker 3: they have. Yeah, they could line up, yep. But they're

442
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:55,639
Speaker 3: going to add to this. Clearly, what do they have

443
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:58,200
Speaker 3: ten to eleven on the roster. They're going to add more,

444
00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:02,920
Speaker 3: and I think they'll add a guard. This is free

445
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:07,160
Speaker 3: agents still or trade veteran free agent tradition.

446
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:08,240
Speaker 2: Put a veteran.

447
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:12,959
Speaker 3: Acquisition, whether it be trader free agency guard and center

448
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:15,880
Speaker 3: or like Evan Brown's played center, right.

449
00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:17,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, he played center and guard. Yep.

450
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:21,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, they'll add another one like that, maybe leaning towards

451
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:23,720
Speaker 3: center and then a guard.

452
00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:27,040
Speaker 1: I think they'll add two more that interior offensive one.

453
00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:29,280
Speaker 3: And I think they're gonna draft at least one or two,

454
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:32,120
Speaker 3: you know, and then you'll have undrafted guys come in here.

455
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:34,560
Speaker 2: Maybe one of them PAMs out, but they've got work

456
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:34,760
Speaker 2: to do.

457
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:37,639
Speaker 3: I forget which one of the sports radio sixtent shows

458
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:40,000
Speaker 3: talked about, hey, Blake Fisher's in danger of not making

459
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:42,639
Speaker 3: this football team, and I thought, well, not if it

460
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:45,640
Speaker 3: stands right here, He's on the team automatically because he's

461
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 3: your swing tackle. Maybe it's Trent, if Brayden Smith is

462
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:53,040
Speaker 3: your right tackle. But there's no way Blake's not on

463
00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:57,160
Speaker 3: this team unless they acquire another tackle, right and.

464
00:21:57,160 --> 00:21:59,600
Speaker 2: You have to have him. You have to have that body.

465
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:01,840
Speaker 3: So the only way he's a threat to not be

466
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:04,520
Speaker 3: on the team is you draft a stud tackle or

467
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:07,440
Speaker 3: acquire a veteran stud tackles or enough of a stud

468
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:11,280
Speaker 3: where his job is threatened. Otherwise he's on the team. Yep,

469
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:14,640
Speaker 3: based on the numbers they have right now. So again, Johnny,

470
00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:17,400
Speaker 3: this is tough for people because you'd love to see

471
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:19,760
Speaker 3: the line done and I just don't think they're done.

472
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:22,840
Speaker 3: Interestingly enough, our lads and we go to their depth

473
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:25,479
Speaker 3: charts sometimes in the offseason because they tend to update it.

474
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:31,720
Speaker 3: But they have Jared Patterson at guard and Jared Kingston.

475
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:33,760
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, Kingston at right guard. I thought they had

476
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:37,040
Speaker 3: Jared Kingston at right guard for a minute. I was like, whoaha, whoa, whoa, Yeah,

477
00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:37,960
Speaker 3: they got editor editing.

478
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:40,679
Speaker 2: Kingston can play tackle. He played the sixth offensive lineman.

479
00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:42,880
Speaker 2: I mean, I think Kingston to me is the kind

480
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:45,160
Speaker 2: of guy that can play any of the offensive line positions,

481
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:47,600
Speaker 2: and it's one of those one of those things you

482
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:49,840
Speaker 2: might want to teach him center. I mean, Jered Kingston

483
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:52,240
Speaker 2: could be one of those guys that, hey, whatever gets

484
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:54,520
Speaker 2: me on the field. I mean, if you know, backing

485
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:57,719
Speaker 2: up Jake, competing with Jake, whatever it might be, but

486
00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:00,800
Speaker 2: I you hit on it. I And this goes back

487
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:03,800
Speaker 2: to the Braden Smith conversation. To me, people ask, well,

488
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:05,840
Speaker 2: you know what position you know, you know is braiding

489
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:08,439
Speaker 2: go to play? I think because it gives you some

490
00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:14,080
Speaker 2: some options. It allows you to not pigeonhole yourself into

491
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:18,920
Speaker 2: drafting for need in the first round or any round

492
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:22,160
Speaker 2: if that matter. You can draft. You know, like last

493
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:25,760
Speaker 2: year when we draft the Arianta Ersherie, I think there

494
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:27,679
Speaker 2: was this thought of, well, yeah, yeah, we need to tackle.

495
00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:30,280
Speaker 2: We had, you know, traded away Leramie. You know, you

496
00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:33,640
Speaker 2: got Titus. We didn't quite know about Trent because Trent

497
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:36,760
Speaker 2: was coming off injury and we didn't know what Trent

498
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:39,560
Speaker 2: was coming back. So it made sense that yeah, we've got,

499
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:41,919
Speaker 2: we've got a whole at tackle. It just so happened

500
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:45,600
Speaker 2: that to me, he was the he was the next

501
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:49,760
Speaker 2: best lineman on the board at that point. Center guard, tackle,

502
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:51,719
Speaker 2: He was the best lineman on the board at that point.

503
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:53,480
Speaker 2: But I think you're gonna get to a point in

504
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:55,480
Speaker 2: this draft where the Texans are at twenty eight thirty

505
00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:59,440
Speaker 2: eight and then fifty nine fifty eight. Twenty eight thirty

506
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:03,720
Speaker 2: to fifty eighth is the numbers where I think there

507
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:10,359
Speaker 2: might be opportunities for guards to be better value than tackles. Okay, so, okay,

508
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:12,840
Speaker 2: let's draft the guard. But hey, we just signed such

509
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:15,960
Speaker 2: and such a guard. That's okay. That guy might only

510
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:18,239
Speaker 2: be here a couple of years. This is a draft that,

511
00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:19,960
Speaker 2: you know, I'd like to get to a point where

512
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:22,800
Speaker 2: we could build the coffers on the offensive line such

513
00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:26,399
Speaker 2: that maybe rookies don't have to start right away. That

514
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:29,280
Speaker 2: you draft a rookie and you're allowing that rookie in

515
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:32,040
Speaker 2: due time to become a starter on this offensive line

516
00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:34,480
Speaker 2: when he is ready, and we're not as an offensive

517
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:36,320
Speaker 2: line ready to do that just yet. Rookie might have

518
00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:39,560
Speaker 2: to come in and play Day one. Either way, I

519
00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:42,439
Speaker 2: feel like there is a vet acquisition on the interior

520
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:45,480
Speaker 2: offensive line. However you want to do it, like you said, trade,

521
00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:48,760
Speaker 2: free agency, whatever. And I do think there will be

522
00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:52,639
Speaker 2: a draft of two. Now the question comes, will you

523
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:56,600
Speaker 2: thirty twenty eight, thirty eight, fifty eight, sixty nine those

524
00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:59,919
Speaker 2: first four picks of those, will two of them be

525
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:04,520
Speaker 2: offensive lineman? I can lock in guaranteed, no doubt it'll

526
00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:06,080
Speaker 2: be one one of them.

527
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:08,120
Speaker 1: I can soft lock it'll be two.

528
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:12,879
Speaker 3: That's oh, soft lock it, soft lock it, Okay, soft

529
00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:13,360
Speaker 3: lock you.

530
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:15,320
Speaker 2: Know, you know like when you put the when you

531
00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:17,480
Speaker 2: just like turn the lock and you kind of put

532
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:18,480
Speaker 2: the latch in, but you don't.

533
00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:22,119
Speaker 1: Right, it looks like it's locked, right, but it's not.

534
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:23,520
Speaker 1: That's a soft lock. That's what I'm calling it.

535
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:26,320
Speaker 3: So even if they acquire two veterans, even they acquire

536
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:29,600
Speaker 3: two veterans, I still think, and this just goes back

537
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:32,399
Speaker 3: to think of the ethos.

538
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:32,680
Speaker 1: Of this team.

539
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:36,399
Speaker 3: What is it. It's swarm. It's competition. Yeah, they want that.

540
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:38,800
Speaker 3: They want the veteran and the rookie. They want this.

541
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:42,040
Speaker 2: People to come in and compete for the jobs, especially

542
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:44,480
Speaker 2: in the offensive line. I think that's what Cole Popovich

543
00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:47,160
Speaker 2: wants it obviously has always been with the Mika Ryans

544
00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:48,800
Speaker 2: has wanted why does EJ.

545
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:50,200
Speaker 1: Speed come here? EJ?

546
00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:54,679
Speaker 2: Speed comes here? Hey, Henry and Disease had been the starters,

547
00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:56,399
Speaker 2: and Christian Harris's come back off injury, he had been

548
00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:58,760
Speaker 2: a starter, and J. Speed is like, I think I

549
00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:01,200
Speaker 2: can play, and I think I can in this defense

550
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:02,320
Speaker 2: and special teams.

551
00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:02,560
Speaker 5: D J.

552
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:04,600
Speaker 2: Speed became one of those indispensable We got to have

553
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:07,200
Speaker 2: him guys, and we brought him back. So I think

554
00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:10,200
Speaker 2: the more guys that you bring to the party that

555
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:11,880
Speaker 2: you can, you know, throw in the mix. Think about

556
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:15,920
Speaker 2: how tough it is for rookies. Arionte made it look, honestly,

557
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:19,479
Speaker 2: relatively easy. But he was ready for the moment as

558
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:21,359
Speaker 2: a rookie, and I think he's gonna be even better.

559
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:24,240
Speaker 2: So you get another couple of rookies. If they shove

560
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:29,040
Speaker 2: veterans out of those spots, great, fantastic. But if they're

561
00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:31,920
Speaker 2: not quite ready, then there are veterans that are there

562
00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:35,880
Speaker 2: that can start the season prove that they belong or

563
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:38,639
Speaker 2: the rookie continues to press for time and end up

564
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:40,440
Speaker 2: earning one of those spots. But I think it's two.

565
00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:44,399
Speaker 2: I think it's two interior, it's two interior line types,

566
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:48,920
Speaker 2: and then it's two center guard tackle the two best

567
00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:51,480
Speaker 2: available whenever they're driving. Do we have time to do receivers?

568
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:52,159
Speaker 1: Do receiver?

569
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:55,480
Speaker 2: Then? So you brought it up, Nico Collins, Jayden Higgins,

570
00:26:56,280 --> 00:27:02,360
Speaker 2: Xavier Hutchinson, and Jalen Knowle for your five receivers from

571
00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:05,680
Speaker 2: for your your four top receivers from this year, all

572
00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:10,640
Speaker 2: coming back. Tank Dell presumably back. We hope to see

573
00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:13,240
Speaker 2: him back. What you can rely on Tank, I mean,

574
00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:16,000
Speaker 2: who knows. You don't know, but you'll at least seemingly

575
00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:17,960
Speaker 2: according to everything we've heard from the organization and from

576
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:21,680
Speaker 2: Tank himself, Tank will be back for Mini Campotiers in

577
00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:22,520
Speaker 2: twenty twenty six.

578
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:25,360
Speaker 3: Jared Wayne has been on the team for ten years, right,

579
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:27,800
Speaker 3: Jared Wayne, it feels like that. Yeah, it's not a

580
00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:31,919
Speaker 3: futures contract. He is back, yep. Josh Kelly also, but

581
00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:34,400
Speaker 3: let's look at it this way. What did I say

582
00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:37,800
Speaker 3: last week? Somebody's coming, I mean somebody's coming. Yeah, it's

583
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:40,520
Speaker 3: going to be a veteran who can play at least

584
00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:43,879
Speaker 3: a bit. Yeah, like a Justin Watson type. Yeah, I

585
00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:48,159
Speaker 3: believe is coming in and you'll draft somebody somewhere, but

586
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:51,160
Speaker 3: I think you could go to war with this, especially

587
00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:53,920
Speaker 3: if you feel like Tank's healthy. Because think about this,

588
00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:58,240
Speaker 3: I hit the starting line with Nico Higgins, noll X.

589
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:00,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's four right there.

590
00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:03,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, if Tank is a fifth and I'm not going

591
00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:06,160
Speaker 3: to order them right now this moment, but I feel

592
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:07,439
Speaker 3: pretty good about that group.

593
00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:09,400
Speaker 2: That's why I don't want to get to where I'm

594
00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:13,320
Speaker 2: just like poo pooing wide receivers because one of the

595
00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:16,160
Speaker 2: things I've realized in doing this, you know, draft stuff,

596
00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:19,440
Speaker 2: over the last how many ever years, what's become very

597
00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:24,000
Speaker 2: clear and evident is that high school and college are.

598
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:25,359
Speaker 1: Spitting out receivers.

599
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:29,399
Speaker 2: Everybody's going to play wide receiver, all right, everybody, and

600
00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:33,359
Speaker 2: so that's providing more depth options and options into draft

601
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:35,879
Speaker 2: as those guys are coming to NFL. I don't look

602
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:39,000
Speaker 2: at this draft class and there's no wide receiver I'm

603
00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:39,680
Speaker 2: really in love with.

604
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:41,200
Speaker 1: I like if you guys at.

605
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:46,440
Speaker 2: The top, But the receiver group is so vast and

606
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:50,240
Speaker 2: so diverse that I feel like you almost have to

607
00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:54,040
Speaker 2: draft one to kind of maximize the draft values to

608
00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:55,880
Speaker 2: get in the lot of the receiver. A lot of

609
00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:58,360
Speaker 2: right I might win somebody's right, I might get an

610
00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:00,760
Speaker 2: Amena Saint Brown, Right, you know, when I'm not even

611
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:03,520
Speaker 2: looking for a late round, I take that. Yep. I

612
00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:06,000
Speaker 2: would roll with those five if I know or I

613
00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:10,400
Speaker 2: see the tank is moving around, is feeling good about

614
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:11,040
Speaker 2: what he's doing.

615
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:13,400
Speaker 1: There's no guarantee. There's no guarantee.

616
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:16,280
Speaker 2: But if I'm watching ot mini camp, I'm like, yeah,

617
00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:18,280
Speaker 2: I think I think we're good.

618
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:19,200
Speaker 1: Here's the other thing.

619
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:23,440
Speaker 3: OTA's happened after the draft, Right, you're gonna get a

620
00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:26,520
Speaker 3: look at them working out, Yes, but you're really gonna

621
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:28,920
Speaker 3: get the look of the team stuff. And it's a

622
00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:30,360
Speaker 3: pretty decent look you get at.

623
00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:31,600
Speaker 2: The receivers and the dbs.

624
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:35,840
Speaker 3: So we'll see Higgins Noll have to show that progress

625
00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:36,840
Speaker 3: year one to year two.

626
00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:38,960
Speaker 2: They've got to make the leap to make me feel really,

627
00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:40,040
Speaker 2: really good about.

628
00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:42,280
Speaker 3: Otherwise you're going to be making a trade for somebody

629
00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:44,640
Speaker 3: or filling a gap somewhere else. But I think you'll

630
00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:46,880
Speaker 3: be okay there. I would expect that to happen, that

631
00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:49,520
Speaker 3: they would take that leap, especially, I mean, Higgins, my gosh,

632
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:52,120
Speaker 3: was unbelievable at times last year, and Noel showed all

633
00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:53,080
Speaker 3: the promise you want to see.

634
00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:56,480
Speaker 2: Wide receiver is kind of like pe. It's like, yeah,

635
00:29:56,760 --> 00:29:58,440
Speaker 2: I got a ninety five and Pe, what'd you do?

636
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:02,240
Speaker 2: I showed up and I just played a bombardment or dodgeball.

637
00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:03,960
Speaker 1: You know I did. I did. Well, That's the way

638
00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:06,760
Speaker 1: receiver looks right now. But I'm with you.

639
00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:09,040
Speaker 2: I just feel like with this, especially the draft class,

640
00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:10,560
Speaker 2: I don't know I want to spend a bunch of

641
00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:14,600
Speaker 2: money on and I probably won't. They probably won't spend

642
00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:16,560
Speaker 2: a bunch of money. Maybe a few meal here or

643
00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:18,520
Speaker 2: there for somebody, you know, some veteran that they think

644
00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:20,200
Speaker 2: can come in and help the room. Maybe he does

645
00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:23,800
Speaker 2: something special or different, you know, kind of a specialist

646
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:27,719
Speaker 2: in some sort has returnability. Maybe I could see that,

647
00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:30,200
Speaker 2: But I feel like you can find that in this draft.

648
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:34,560
Speaker 2: I mean, my wide receiver page on my draft database

649
00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:40,520
Speaker 2: is the longest of any position group. Any I think

650
00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:42,920
Speaker 2: you can get guys that, you know, ten years ago

651
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:44,080
Speaker 2: would have gone Day two.

652
00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:44,840
Speaker 1: I think you can get.

653
00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:48,000
Speaker 2: Them late day three now because there's so many of

654
00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:50,600
Speaker 2: them at that point. Now, we didn't talk a much

655
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:53,200
Speaker 2: about defense because on the other side of the ball,

656
00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:58,040
Speaker 2: well pretty loaded, especially now at safety reblanket ship came in.

657
00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:02,600
Speaker 2: That's awesome. The Texans also re signed MJ. Stewart. He

658
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:04,920
Speaker 2: will join us next right here in Texans All Access.

659
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:09,120
Speaker 2: What's up, everybody. Welcome back to this Monday edition of

660
00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:11,880
Speaker 2: Texans All Access from the London Texans Radio studio.

661
00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:14,120
Speaker 1: I'm your host, John Harris, football Analyst.

662
00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:17,080
Speaker 2: Sideline reporter, and that shows brought to you by Mattress Firm,

663
00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:22,080
Speaker 2: the official Mattress retailer of your Houston Texans. And we

664
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:24,840
Speaker 2: were in the last segment talking about wide receivers. One

665
00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:28,640
Speaker 2: name we did not bring up because of news that

666
00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:32,000
Speaker 2: we learned today, and that is that Christian Kirk will

667
00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:35,160
Speaker 2: be going to the San Francisco forty nine Ers. It's

668
00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:38,480
Speaker 2: a one year deal for him to join Mike Evans

669
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:41,360
Speaker 2: and Ricky Pearsall and Christian says healthy, that's.

670
00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:42,000
Speaker 1: A good spot for him.

671
00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:43,640
Speaker 2: I think with the forty nine ers, I mean, I

672
00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:46,840
Speaker 2: think he's already the number three receiver. So he'll take

673
00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:49,800
Speaker 2: a one year deal, go back to the NFC West

674
00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:54,600
Speaker 2: and join the forty Niners. So Christian Kirk on his

675
00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:58,440
Speaker 2: way to San Francisco. Now a guy that's coming back

676
00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:03,400
Speaker 2: to Houston for man, it feels like MJ. Stewart has

677
00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:06,320
Speaker 2: been here for a while. But MJ Stewart coming back

678
00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:09,320
Speaker 2: to Texas was great news. He got hurt during the season.

679
00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:12,880
Speaker 2: That was a killer. We absolutely missed MJ. Stewart throughout

680
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:16,600
Speaker 2: the rest of the season. Great veteran, ahead on his shoulders,

681
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:20,440
Speaker 2: special team star, he was kind of that all round defense,

682
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:23,800
Speaker 2: special teams player you gotta have. He is back for

683
00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:28,600
Speaker 2: twenty twenty six, along with Reed Blanket Ship, both of them.

684
00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:29,280
Speaker 1: I think m J.

685
00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:33,120
Speaker 2: Stewart maybe signed maybe the day the Red Blanket Ship

686
00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:36,800
Speaker 2: signed too. So look, we found out last year that

687
00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:40,080
Speaker 2: you've got to be solid at positions across the board.

688
00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:42,920
Speaker 2: You gotta have depth across the board and depth that

689
00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:44,760
Speaker 2: could go in and play across the board.

690
00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:45,120
Speaker 4: When m J.

691
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:48,440
Speaker 2: Stewart came in after CJ. Gardner Johnson was shown the door,

692
00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:51,240
Speaker 2: MJ gave them a lot of really good football, including

693
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:53,440
Speaker 2: the game against Baltimore, which I asked MJ.

694
00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:56,960
Speaker 1: Stewart about in our interview with him after he re signed.

695
00:32:56,960 --> 00:32:57,400
Speaker 1: Who's m J.

696
00:32:57,480 --> 00:33:00,800
Speaker 3: Stewart, Mark and myself MJ Stewart with us congratulations z

697
00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:01,040
Speaker 3: m J.

698
00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:02,640
Speaker 4: How does it feel feels good?

699
00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:02,800
Speaker 1: Man?

700
00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:05,120
Speaker 5: It feels good. I kind of made this my home

701
00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:06,280
Speaker 5: now and I'm glad to be back.

702
00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:08,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're back early in free agency too.

703
00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:11,280
Speaker 3: Last year it took a little longer, but now you're

704
00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:13,520
Speaker 3: back early, and you had such a good year. Really,

705
00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:15,360
Speaker 3: I know you had the injury and everything, but it

706
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:17,320
Speaker 3: was a productive season for you in the defense.

707
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:20,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, I just you know, I love Nick,

708
00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:24,760
Speaker 5: I love Frank of coach Demico, all the defensive coaching staff,

709
00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:26,920
Speaker 5: all the office. Everybody's great, you know what I mean.

710
00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:29,720
Speaker 5: So this is a great culture. Coach Ryans has built

711
00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:31,240
Speaker 5: up a great culture here. So I'm glad to be

712
00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:31,960
Speaker 5: a part of it again.

713
00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:34,320
Speaker 2: MJ. You've been here. What year is this now?

714
00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:37,520
Speaker 1: What year will this be? Six? Or five?

715
00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:40,920
Speaker 2: Five? So you you kind of went through the changeover

716
00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:44,600
Speaker 2: before you know, Nick got here, you came in and

717
00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:47,280
Speaker 2: then Demico comes in. And now where you guys are

718
00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:50,600
Speaker 2: on this ascent. What's that been like When you think back, man,

719
00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:52,840
Speaker 2: I have been here for a few years. You think

720
00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:55,120
Speaker 2: about life in the NFL A lot of times you

721
00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:57,640
Speaker 2: don't get that many years in particular spot right.

722
00:33:57,760 --> 00:33:59,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, Like I said, it's a blessing man, And you know,

723
00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:02,400
Speaker 5: just to see the culture change just from you know

724
00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:04,440
Speaker 5: how it was to you know how it is now.

725
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:07,040
Speaker 5: It just speaks volumes on you know, the guys that

726
00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:09,160
Speaker 5: the coaches bring in, you know, the job that you know,

727
00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:12,080
Speaker 5: coach Ryan's and Nick dou Is just is great.

728
00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:15,040
Speaker 3: So it's free agency frenzy around the league and Jay,

729
00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:17,960
Speaker 3: but what we're seeing is a lot of Texans getting resigned,

730
00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:20,640
Speaker 3: either extended, or guys who are about to hit the

731
00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:25,080
Speaker 3: market or close enough to it or whatever getting re acclimated,

732
00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:27,920
Speaker 3: re signed to the Houston Texans. How special does that

733
00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:30,120
Speaker 3: make you feel when you see teammates we talked about

734
00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:34,040
Speaker 3: Fairbairn before we started this interview getting extended, all of

735
00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:37,040
Speaker 3: those players, your teammates remaining with the Texans.

736
00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:37,800
Speaker 2: How does that feel?

737
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:39,880
Speaker 5: It feels great, you know, because you build bonds with

738
00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:42,560
Speaker 5: guys during the season and this is like this this league.

739
00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:44,120
Speaker 5: You know, I've been fortunate have been in this league

740
00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:47,200
Speaker 5: for a long time and you don't really see too

741
00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:49,319
Speaker 5: many teams, you know, stick together and be able to

742
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:51,799
Speaker 5: sign people back. And you know, just to have you know,

743
00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:54,920
Speaker 5: the ability to bring the guys back that you have

744
00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:58,640
Speaker 5: build bonds with producers on the field, It shows on

745
00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:01,840
Speaker 5: the field too, because you play kind of faster knowing

746
00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:04,080
Speaker 5: if you know you know who you're playing next to,

747
00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:06,279
Speaker 5: you can play a lot faster knowing what they're gonna do,

748
00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:07,759
Speaker 5: Like you can know what they're gonna do, so you

749
00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:09,840
Speaker 5: can play around them, and it just it creates a

750
00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:10,560
Speaker 5: good atmosphere.

751
00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:11,120
Speaker 1: MJ.

752
00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:13,600
Speaker 2: We talked about this maybe a couple of years ago,

753
00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:16,520
Speaker 2: and I always thought it was such a good outlook

754
00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:21,759
Speaker 2: on NFL life, and I asked you about just maintaining

755
00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:26,319
Speaker 2: your positive attitude every single day, and you just said, look,

756
00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:29,600
Speaker 2: you can basically can choose to be positive and choose

757
00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:31,120
Speaker 2: that's the way you're go look at it, look at

758
00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:33,040
Speaker 2: the job that you have and continue to do that

759
00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:36,960
Speaker 2: job meanwhile seeking other opportunities within that particular job. And

760
00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:40,040
Speaker 2: you had that last year when you stepped in at

761
00:35:40,080 --> 00:35:42,360
Speaker 2: safety and did a really good job obviously before the injury.

762
00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:44,960
Speaker 2: But you still kind of look at the game that

763
00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:48,680
Speaker 2: that same way in that I won't say you feel

764
00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:51,319
Speaker 2: lucky to be in the league, but you also know, hey,

765
00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:53,200
Speaker 2: I'm gonna take my role whatever I'm giving and do

766
00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:54,840
Speaker 2: the best I can with it no matter what.

767
00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:57,319
Speaker 5: Yeah, Bro, It's just like it's not even about like

768
00:35:57,360 --> 00:35:58,680
Speaker 5: you know, and I feel like it is a little

769
00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:00,080
Speaker 5: lucky to be in the league still because you know,

770
00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:02,759
Speaker 5: like I mean, going into year nine, you know, a

771
00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:04,840
Speaker 5: lot of guys don't make it that long treat, to

772
00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:06,680
Speaker 5: be honest, So I am a little lucky, a little

773
00:36:06,680 --> 00:36:08,560
Speaker 5: blessed to be here. But like you know, like I said,

774
00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:10,920
Speaker 5: like I've always had that mentality like this is still

775
00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:12,880
Speaker 5: a game to me, you know what I mean. Football

776
00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:14,120
Speaker 5: is still a game. But it's a game that I

777
00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:16,239
Speaker 5: love in a game I take very seriously. So you know,

778
00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:17,960
Speaker 5: I've been playing it since I was four years old.

779
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:20,359
Speaker 5: So like I said, whatever my role is, I'm gonna

780
00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:22,799
Speaker 5: play it to my best ability because on Sundays it

781
00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:24,759
Speaker 5: brings me back to when I was four and going

782
00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:27,319
Speaker 5: out there, you know, running, hitting, running around, having fun

783
00:36:27,400 --> 00:36:27,920
Speaker 5: with the guys.

784
00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:29,160
Speaker 4: That's what it's all about.

785
00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:31,520
Speaker 3: Every year, I ask you what you're doing to take

786
00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:33,840
Speaker 3: care of your body and how that changes as you

787
00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:34,360
Speaker 3: get older.

788
00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:35,880
Speaker 1: You're not old, but you get.

789
00:36:35,719 --> 00:36:38,960
Speaker 3: Older within the NFL, right relative to the league, So

790
00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:40,520
Speaker 3: what about that side of things.

791
00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:43,520
Speaker 5: M Jay, That's a constant change too, you know, because

792
00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:48,040
Speaker 5: like you said, your body changes, and like you're rehabing

793
00:36:48,239 --> 00:36:49,600
Speaker 5: the way you take care of your body has to

794
00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:52,040
Speaker 5: change too, so it's forever revolving.

795
00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:54,520
Speaker 4: Like it's never stagnant. It's never the same year by year.

796
00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:56,759
Speaker 5: It's always that you know, you get a routine, but

797
00:36:56,840 --> 00:36:58,520
Speaker 5: like once you get up in those years, you have

798
00:36:58,560 --> 00:37:00,279
Speaker 5: to kind of tweak your routine a little bit to

799
00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:02,680
Speaker 5: cater to some other things that may arise.

800
00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:06,400
Speaker 2: Have you reached unk status, hit, yeah I have.

801
00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:13,239
Speaker 5: They called me to vet. It's crazy to hear, but yeah,

802
00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:14,200
Speaker 5: I'm the Vet in the room.

803
00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:17,520
Speaker 2: But I would imagine just knowing you, you cherish that

804
00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:21,000
Speaker 2: because they're gonna be young guys that don't have an

805
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:24,160
Speaker 2: idea of what this whole NFL thing is all about.

806
00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:27,560
Speaker 2: If they seek you out, I would imagine that you're

807
00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:29,280
Speaker 2: a guy that would be a hell of a resource

808
00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:31,680
Speaker 2: for the young guys that, Yeah, you might be on status,

809
00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:33,919
Speaker 2: but there's a reason that they're seeking you out. There's

810
00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:36,160
Speaker 2: a reason you are the unk for them, because you

811
00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:40,000
Speaker 2: have this repository of knowledge about how you go about

812
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:42,880
Speaker 2: this thing in whatever shape where form it is for

813
00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:45,319
Speaker 2: you and for them it might be different, but you

814
00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:47,160
Speaker 2: can at least help them through that because you've been

815
00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:48,520
Speaker 2: through so many different things.

816
00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:50,120
Speaker 5: Right, and I feel like, you know, I'll try to

817
00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:52,200
Speaker 5: give like the guys as much as I can, like

818
00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:53,920
Speaker 5: something I had when I came to lead. Like when

819
00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:55,719
Speaker 5: I came to lead, like I didn't really have a

820
00:37:55,840 --> 00:37:58,480
Speaker 5: true vet to like really guide me and lead me.

821
00:37:58,560 --> 00:38:00,360
Speaker 5: You know, I kind of had to figure all the

822
00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:02,279
Speaker 5: things out of my own. So you know, I never

823
00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:05,120
Speaker 5: wanted to, like, you know, I'm blessed to get to

824
00:38:05,160 --> 00:38:07,879
Speaker 5: this status, but I never wanted to like be that

825
00:38:08,239 --> 00:38:10,399
Speaker 5: those vents that I had, and I love them to death,

826
00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:12,000
Speaker 5: like not saying nothing was wrong, but I just never

827
00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:14,000
Speaker 5: had nobody to like take me under their wing and

828
00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:15,680
Speaker 5: like really showed me the ropes, you know what I mean.

829
00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:17,600
Speaker 5: So like as much as I can, I try to

830
00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:20,240
Speaker 5: provide any type of knowledge I can, any type of advice,

831
00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:24,080
Speaker 5: and he just maybe just an ear sometimes because you know,

832
00:38:24,120 --> 00:38:26,120
Speaker 5: as a young guy, you go through a lot of things,

833
00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:29,520
Speaker 5: and this league is different from from college or where

834
00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:31,680
Speaker 5: you were before, so you may, you know, it may

835
00:38:31,719 --> 00:38:33,799
Speaker 5: be good times, it may be bad times, and during

836
00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:35,480
Speaker 5: the bad time, some you know, sometimes you just need

837
00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:38,000
Speaker 5: to vent somebody, get somebody an ear just to so

838
00:38:38,040 --> 00:38:40,279
Speaker 5: they you know, somebody listen to you know, so I

839
00:38:40,400 --> 00:38:41,520
Speaker 5: just try to be that guy for them.

840
00:38:41,680 --> 00:38:43,560
Speaker 3: Well, you have been in the league since twenty eighteen,

841
00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:45,439
Speaker 3: You've played with a lot of good players, but you're

842
00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:48,520
Speaker 3: part of a defensive backfield right now, AMJ. That's truly

843
00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:51,000
Speaker 3: unique and special. What's it like to play with those

844
00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:54,520
Speaker 3: guys in particular, because they are lights out good and

845
00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:55,200
Speaker 3: you're part of it.

846
00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:58,000
Speaker 5: So what is that like for you? It's fun. It's fun, man,

847
00:38:58,040 --> 00:39:00,719
Speaker 5: I like, it's super fun playing with them guys. Man,

848
00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:03,520
Speaker 5: you know, we got a you know, we got a

849
00:39:03,560 --> 00:39:05,560
Speaker 5: lot of Pro Bowl guys that got the accolades that

850
00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:07,520
Speaker 5: but I feel like a lot of the guys you

851
00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:09,799
Speaker 5: know that didn't get those accolades like they deserve them.

852
00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:10,000
Speaker 4: Though.

853
00:39:10,400 --> 00:39:11,920
Speaker 5: I think it's a few guys, you know, I don't

854
00:39:12,120 --> 00:39:13,440
Speaker 5: I'm not going to try to get into it, but

855
00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:15,040
Speaker 5: it's a few guys that should have been Pro Bowl,

856
00:39:15,160 --> 00:39:17,080
Speaker 5: should have been All Pro, that weren't named that, you

857
00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:18,440
Speaker 5: know what I mean, That's what I feel. But they

858
00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:20,520
Speaker 5: play lights out all the time, and I love being

859
00:39:20,560 --> 00:39:22,799
Speaker 5: them out because not only do we play lights out,

860
00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:24,720
Speaker 5: but then after, you know, when we make big plays,

861
00:39:24,719 --> 00:39:26,840
Speaker 5: we all celebrate together, we all turn up together, and

862
00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:29,120
Speaker 5: that's the brotherhood that I'm talking about, and that's why,

863
00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:30,560
Speaker 5: you know, I'm glad to be part of this unit.

864
00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:33,200
Speaker 2: One of the games that stands out to me so much.

865
00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:35,840
Speaker 2: And I know Baltimore was banged up that day, but

866
00:39:35,880 --> 00:39:37,880
Speaker 2: they still had twenty two back in the backfield, and

867
00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:42,080
Speaker 2: I just remember the number of times that you and

868
00:39:42,719 --> 00:39:46,200
Speaker 2: Petrie secondary guys just coming up and putting a helmet

869
00:39:46,239 --> 00:39:47,839
Speaker 2: on him, and you guys did such a good job.

870
00:39:47,880 --> 00:39:49,680
Speaker 2: But I just remember you being a lot of times.

871
00:39:50,239 --> 00:39:52,160
Speaker 2: You know, I'm always in Mark's here and you know,

872
00:39:52,239 --> 00:39:54,879
Speaker 2: telling him, you're kind of spotting from the field, letting

873
00:39:54,960 --> 00:39:57,520
Speaker 2: him know. Just MJJ. I feel like I was saying

874
00:39:57,560 --> 00:40:00,279
Speaker 2: your name like twenty times that day. That was a

875
00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:02,880
Speaker 2: big game to stop him, but you were such a

876
00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:04,640
Speaker 2: big part of it. What do you remember about that

877
00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:07,759
Speaker 2: big winning of Baltimore and like having to tackle and

878
00:40:07,840 --> 00:40:09,200
Speaker 2: take that guy out of the game.

879
00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:12,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's just like it's kind of like it's kind

880
00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:15,399
Speaker 5: of been a game plan versus him, like throughout any

881
00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:17,600
Speaker 5: team that I played for, Like you just you gotta

882
00:40:17,680 --> 00:40:20,399
Speaker 5: hit him, like you know, you gotta. He's a big bag.

883
00:40:20,440 --> 00:40:22,160
Speaker 5: He's a very good back, you know what I mean.

884
00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:24,000
Speaker 5: But He's one of those guys that like if he

885
00:40:24,080 --> 00:40:26,400
Speaker 5: if he gets rolling, like he's hard to stop. But

886
00:40:26,480 --> 00:40:28,160
Speaker 5: if you hit him early, he hit him, you know

887
00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:30,800
Speaker 5: what I mean, hit him offense like I mean it's football,

888
00:40:30,840 --> 00:40:32,799
Speaker 5: Like he puts on passes like everybody else.

889
00:40:32,840 --> 00:40:33,040
Speaker 4: You know.

890
00:40:33,080 --> 00:40:34,919
Speaker 5: Like I said, he's a very good back. But that's

891
00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:36,959
Speaker 5: just kind of been that's always been a game playing

892
00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:37,440
Speaker 5: versus him.

893
00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:40,160
Speaker 3: So you played against Tampa Bay and Cleveland before too

894
00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:42,440
Speaker 3: previous stops for you of the NFL. But now you're

895
00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:44,799
Speaker 3: going to go to Cleveland and play there for the

896
00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:47,120
Speaker 3: first time in your career this season?

897
00:40:47,160 --> 00:40:48,200
Speaker 1: What's that going to be like for you?

898
00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:48,960
Speaker 4: It's gonna be fun.

899
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:51,440
Speaker 5: It's gonna be fun because it's crazy to think, like

900
00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:54,200
Speaker 5: Cleveland was a great atmosphere when I played up there,

901
00:40:54,239 --> 00:40:58,160
Speaker 5: and there's still people that like, you know, see me

902
00:40:58,360 --> 00:41:00,520
Speaker 5: to this day and be like, hey, bro, I remember

903
00:41:00,520 --> 00:41:01,560

Speaker 4: Like they're they have those type of fans.

905
00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:05,640
Speaker 5: So like just going up there again, just you know,

Speaker 2: the working out. I know, you know you're doing that

913
00:41:24,560 --> 00:41:27,760
Speaker 2: and getting back because your season was unfortunately short circuited,

914
00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:30,680
Speaker 2: which sucked. But what's your what's your off season been like?

915

00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:38,360
Speaker 5: know what I mean, just trying to get back to

919
00:41:38,800 --> 00:41:40,960
Speaker 5: full strength, trying to get back to where I was before.

920
00:41:41,080 --> 00:41:43,800
Speaker 5: So you know, when the training camp comes, I'll be

921
00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:46,680
Speaker 5: one hundred percent just making sure that my body's right,

922
00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:50,560
Speaker 5: you know, and also just in doing that also just

923
00:41:50,640 --> 00:41:52,480
Speaker 5: kind of you know, enjoying myself a little bit and

924
00:41:52,600 --> 00:41:55,080
Speaker 5: taking time, you know, because you know, the season is long.

925
00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:57,399
Speaker 4: It seems very football season very long.

926
00:41:57,440 --> 00:41:59,920
Speaker 5: So just you know, trying to balance to just try

927
00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:03,359

928
00:42:03,360 --> 00:42:03,840
Speaker 5: a week.

929
00:42:03,640 --> 00:42:05,960
Speaker 4: But also having some time for myself to you know, relax.

930
00:42:06,120 --> 00:42:10,440
Speaker 3: You could tell the young pups, I remember sixteen games now, Yeah,

931
00:42:12,120 --> 00:42:12,759
Speaker 3: that extra game.

932
00:42:13,239 --> 00:42:15,879
Speaker 2: It's an extra game, man, I'm telling you that extra

933
00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:16,640
Speaker 2: game could be tough.

934
00:42:16,680 --> 00:42:19,279
Speaker 5: You can, yeah, it is really tough. Yeah, you know,

935
00:42:19,400 --> 00:42:22,040
Speaker 5: it's like late in the season, like everybody's banged up.

936
00:42:22,239 --> 00:42:24,520
Speaker 5: Everybody's banged you know, and the extra game is is

937
00:42:24,600 --> 00:42:25,080
Speaker 5: kind of tough.

938
00:42:25,120 --> 00:42:27,120
Speaker 3: But you know my theory, training camp starts at the

939
00:42:27,160 --> 00:42:31,359
Speaker 3: same time, so it's definitely. Yeah, you've reduced the number

940
00:42:31,400 --> 00:42:34,160
Speaker 3: of preseason games, but you're there the same amount of

941
00:42:34,200 --> 00:42:37,400
Speaker 3: weeks and then one with the seventeen game schedules.

942
00:42:37,400 --> 00:42:38,840
Speaker 1: So it does feel like think.

943
00:42:39,840 --> 00:42:42,000
Speaker 5: Cray, I think training camps are like a week earlier

944
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:43,200
Speaker 5: this year too, or last year.

945
00:42:43,239 --> 00:42:45,600
Speaker 1: I think it felt it felt a few days or whatever.

946
00:42:46,880 --> 00:42:49,120
Speaker 2: When we went to the Hall of Fame game. Yeah,

947
00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:52,480
Speaker 2: that was that felt like ever. That felt like we

948
00:42:52,480 --> 00:42:55,040
Speaker 2: were in training camp for like a year. It's ever

949
00:42:55,080 --> 00:42:55,560
Speaker 2: going to end.

950
00:42:55,640 --> 00:42:57,399
Speaker 3: It used to be two weeks out of your first

951
00:42:57,400 --> 00:42:59,360
Speaker 3: preseason game. I feel like you an extra two or

952
00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:01,439
Speaker 3: three days that he But we'll go over that when

953
00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:02,200
Speaker 3: the time comes.

954
00:43:04,120 --> 00:43:05,960
Speaker 1: It's rodeo season as we speak.

955
00:43:06,320 --> 00:43:08,960
Speaker 3: If you had to do a rodeo event bull you

956
00:43:09,080 --> 00:43:12,240
Speaker 3: had to do bull riding or steer wrestling or something

957
00:43:12,320 --> 00:43:14,080
Speaker 3: like that, what do you think you would do?

958
00:43:15,360 --> 00:43:18,359
Speaker 5: Uh? I ain't know a lot. I think I can.

959
00:43:18,680 --> 00:43:20,719
Speaker 5: I think I do the bull riding. Okay, I think

960
00:43:20,719 --> 00:43:23,960
Speaker 5: I can do the bull riding. Still, steer wrestling, I'm

961
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:25,960
Speaker 5: not all right. I've never been like a real like

962
00:43:26,360 --> 00:43:28,920
Speaker 5: country kind of guy. I'm like a city guy, so

963
00:43:29,080 --> 00:43:31,600
Speaker 5: like I'm born in a city that's all hip drop tackle.

964
00:43:32,840 --> 00:43:36,719
Speaker 3: Yeah exactly there, Yeah, that's exactly what is.

00:43:37,160 --> 00:43:40,080
Speaker 2: Big Trent said he would ride bulls too, So you

966
00:43:40,200 --> 00:43:42,560
Speaker 2: big Trent would be on similar bulls.

967
00:43:42,880 --> 00:43:47,600

Speaker 2: Mark Vanimier and I did so appreciate you guys being

997
00:45:07,880 --> 00:45:09,960
Speaker 2: here for that. All right, to go around the NFL

998
00:45:10,480 --> 00:45:13,720
Speaker 2: with some news that happened over this weekend.

999
00:45:13,840 --> 00:45:15,000
Speaker 1: And what I woke up to.

1000
00:45:15,080 --> 00:45:16,680
Speaker 2: I know this one I woke up to this morning,

1001
00:45:17,360 --> 00:45:19,680
Speaker 2: and that is the Kansas City Chiefs.

1002
00:45:19,200 --> 00:45:20,360
Speaker 1: Made a trade.

1003
00:45:22,239 --> 00:45:27,640
Speaker 2: The New York Jets are trading quarterback Justin Fields to

1004
00:45:27,719 --> 00:45:31,359
Speaker 2: the Kansas City Chiefs for a twenty twenty.

1005
00:45:31,239 --> 00:45:33,680
Speaker 1: Seven sixth round pick.

1006
00:45:33,800 --> 00:45:36,520
Speaker 2: Now, I know what numbers can do for some people,

1007
00:45:36,680 --> 00:45:38,880
Speaker 2: the six and the seven, they'll get that turnaround like,

1008
00:45:38,880 --> 00:45:41,120
Speaker 2: oh it's a twenty twenty six seven. No, no, no,

1009
00:45:41,280 --> 00:45:46,000
Speaker 2: twenty twenty seven sixth round picks, not even this year.

1010
00:45:46,160 --> 00:45:48,880
Speaker 2: So in the deal, the Jets are taking on seven

1011
00:45:48,920 --> 00:45:53,560
Speaker 2: million dollars of Fields ten million dollars. He was guaranteed

1012
00:45:53,600 --> 00:45:55,600
Speaker 2: for salary in twenty twenty six. That's why it's such

1013
00:45:55,600 --> 00:46:01,200
Speaker 2: a low cost. And the Chiefs end up with Justin Fields. Now,

1014
00:46:02,640 --> 00:46:03,880
Speaker 2: what about Patrick Mahomes.

1015
00:46:04,040 --> 00:46:04,440
Speaker 1: Don't know.

1016
00:46:05,440 --> 00:46:09,680
Speaker 2: Justin Fields has started games before, obviously did not look

1017
00:46:09,719 --> 00:46:12,160
Speaker 2: good last year with the Jets. Nobody really looked good

1018
00:46:12,160 --> 00:46:15,320
Speaker 2: with the Jets traded away everybody. It just didn't look good.

1019
00:46:15,800 --> 00:46:19,480
Speaker 2: So from that standpoint, don't even know really if he

1020
00:46:19,560 --> 00:46:22,600
Speaker 2: got too much of a fair shake. But Justin Fields,

1021
00:46:22,880 --> 00:46:27,480
Speaker 2: like Chad Henny, like Gardner Minshew, guy that started in

1022
00:46:27,480 --> 00:46:31,120
Speaker 2: the league, has played games, and maybe in the right

1023
00:46:31,160 --> 00:46:34,800
Speaker 2: Andy Reid offense, Justin Fields can do some things, maybe

1024
00:46:34,840 --> 00:46:38,360
Speaker 2: even as a guy on the field with Patrick Mahomes

1025
00:46:38,400 --> 00:46:41,759
Speaker 2: when Mahomes is healthy. But Justin Fields traded to the

1026
00:46:41,840 --> 00:46:48,960
Speaker 2: Kansas City Chiefs. Six time Pro bowler cornerback Darius Slay

1027
00:46:49,120 --> 00:46:53,279
Speaker 2: one of the best to play the position, Lions, Eagles,

1028
00:46:53,560 --> 00:46:58,359
Speaker 2: I think Steelers. At some point, Darius Slay retires from

1029
00:46:58,400 --> 00:47:02,480
Speaker 2: the NFL around pick by Detroit Lyons in twenty thirteen.

1030
00:47:02,719 --> 00:47:05,120
Speaker 2: Give my Mississippi State. Missisippi State has put some dudes

1031
00:47:05,160 --> 00:47:09,600
Speaker 2: in the league. Man. Darius Slay was an unbelievable football player,

1032
00:47:09,640 --> 00:47:13,080
Speaker 2: First team All Pro in twenty seventeen. He had thirty

1033
00:47:13,280 --> 00:47:17,520
Speaker 2: four I'm sorry, twenty six passes defense eight interceptions. But

1034
00:47:17,600 --> 00:47:22,000
Speaker 2: Darius Slay said he is done with the NFL. Last

1035
00:47:22,040 --> 00:47:24,120
Speaker 2: to play in Philadelphia. Tried to catch on elsewhere, it

1036
00:47:24,120 --> 00:47:28,560
Speaker 2: didn't really work. So Darius Slay calls it a day,

1037
00:47:28,800 --> 00:47:32,480
Speaker 2: calls it a career. So Justin Fields off to Kansas City,

1038
00:47:32,719 --> 00:47:36,040
Speaker 2: Darius Slay off to retirement. It's not the last we're

1039
00:47:36,040 --> 00:47:38,360
Speaker 2: gonna hear Darius Slay. I got a feeling he's a

1040
00:47:38,400 --> 00:47:40,759
Speaker 2: good talker. I have a feeling we'll hear him on television,

1041
00:47:40,800 --> 00:47:43,720
Speaker 2: We'll hear him on podcasts, we'll see him on YouTube, whatever.

1042
00:47:44,080 --> 00:47:46,680
Speaker 2: But Darius Slay will be around, and he's funny and

1043
00:47:46,719 --> 00:47:48,239
Speaker 2: he's good to be around. So I got a feeling

1044
00:47:48,360 --> 00:47:51,080
Speaker 2: he will. We will not have heard the last of

1045
00:47:51,200 --> 00:47:53,839
Speaker 2: Darius Slay. All right, that's the show. We'll be back

1046
00:47:53,880 --> 00:47:56,879
Speaker 2: with much more tomorrow. I appreciate you guys for being

1047
00:47:56,880 --> 00:47:59,040
Speaker 2: with me. We'll see you then and as always, go Texans.
