1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,240
Speaker 1: Hello, Texans, Welcome to the show. We can't wait. It's

2
00:00:03,279 --> 00:00:06,360
Speaker 1: training camp. Eve, it's officially training camp. If not, oh,

3
00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:09,639
Speaker 1: it's in three weeks or two weeks or a week

4
00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:14,080
Speaker 1: from Tuesday. No, it's tomorrow morning. Wednesday morning, we will

5
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:17,120
Speaker 1: be out live eight to ten am and shot him

6
00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:19,560
Speaker 1: set before that. After that it's in the loop. We

7
00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:22,239
Speaker 1: will be covering camp practice number one.

8
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:22,680
Speaker 2: It's here.

9
00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:26,600
Speaker 1: It's football season. The off season is over, Johnny. Oh boy,

10
00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:30,040
Speaker 1: I'm so excited to say that, are you. Yeah, the

11
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:32,519
Speaker 1: off season is over now, I am, and I'm not

12
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:34,760
Speaker 1: because this time of year usually gets really busy trying

13
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:38,080
Speaker 1: to set up everything for our first broadcasts. So you

14
00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:40,800
Speaker 1: feel like you feel like you could use another week

15
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:42,800
Speaker 1: for that. That yeah, but I don't want to wait

16
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:45,480
Speaker 1: for football any longer. At the same time, that's well said.

17
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:47,159
Speaker 1: That's exactly the way to feel about it.

18
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 3: I think is that, man, I wish I had a

19
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 3: week to do all those other things and then could

20
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 3: kind of just mentally clear my head for all that.

21
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 3: But then again, you kind of just dive right in.

22
00:00:57,760 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 3: You don't get a chance to kind of ease your

23
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:01,280
Speaker 3: way too. He's die right in it.

24
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:04,400
Speaker 2: Let's go mysay professor in college.

25
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:06,760
Speaker 1: When we did this huge project and I mentioned that,

26
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 1: you know, we could use another week, he gave me

27
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 1: the right phrase, which is work fills the time allotted.

28
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 1: If we gave you another week, you'd be saying that

29
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 1: in another week, right. I mean, it's just what happens,

30
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:19,560
Speaker 1: because a lot of what I do or have to

31
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 1: prepare is dependent on other people as well and them

32
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 1: doing stuff.

33
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 2: But I'm not making excuses. It's just the way it is.

34
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 3: It's just so wait as you get ready for training

35
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 3: camp and it's starting tomorrow.

36
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:33,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I'm sucked. I'm excited.

37
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:36,679
Speaker 1: So since it is the end of the off season, okay,

38
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:40,679
Speaker 1: the top five off season moves for your Texans and

39
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 1: they all relate to what's happening to a training camp.

40
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 2: Okay, they all relate.

41
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna give you a couple of honorable mentions

42
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 1: to start it off. Okay, okay, all right, so these

43
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 1: are really acquisitions. All right, let's just call them what

44
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 1: they know, whether it be trayed draft, whatever, but honorable mention.

45
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 1: Second honorable mention Evan Brown. Signing of Evan Brown I

46
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 1: think deserves an honorable mention up here.

47
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 3: So I had a conversation. We had a media event

48
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:12,080
Speaker 3: last night, which kind of kicks it off kind of

49
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 3: for us, like, all right, we get all the media

50
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:16,680
Speaker 3: back together, and we're considered part of the media, even

51
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:18,799
Speaker 3: though we're kind of not kind of are either way,

52
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:21,360
Speaker 3: We got invited and we really appreciate Omar, David Lindsay,

53
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 3: et cetera, you know, asking us to be there. So

54
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 3: we were there and I was signing a conversation and somebody,

55
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 3: somebody asked me, somebody being Landry Locker kind of asked

56
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 3: me about, you know, the interior offensive line and you

57
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:35,639
Speaker 3: know what, what about rut Ledge, you know, who plays center?

58
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 3: All that kind of stuff. And as we were talking,

59
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:42,080
Speaker 3: I remember saying, you know, look, Evan Brown is on

60
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 3: this team, and Evan Brown, I think can do. I

61
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 3: think everybody's gonna be asked to do some some things

62
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 3: for this offensive line this year. And I think having

63
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:53,639
Speaker 3: a guy like that that's played center, that's played guards,

64
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:57,360
Speaker 3: played both, he's stout, he could jump right in and

65
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 3: play either position. We know over the year years the

66
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:03,920
Speaker 3: offensive line, I mean, what was it twenty twenty three,

67
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 3: the first year to meek, it was here like within

68
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:09,919
Speaker 3: ten minutes Scotti Quisenberry ended up tearing as acl right.

69
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 3: Then later Juice got hurt. You know, Deeter had to

70
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 3: come in at center. You know, after Jared Patterson got hurt.

71
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:17,959
Speaker 3: They went through like three or four different centers before

72
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 3: Deeter had to then finish off the year. So you

73
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 3: know you're gonna have years like that. You're gonna have

74
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 3: a rash of injuries and you're gonna need depth. And

75
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 3: one of the points I made the other day was

76
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 3: talking about the depth of the offensive lines, the depth

77
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 3: in general of the team, but the depth in general

78
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 3: on the offensive line in particular. They're I think in

79
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 3: a better shape than they've been in a long time,

80
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 3: and Evan Brown is a big factor in that big factor.

81
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I think it's a good one. So another

82
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 1: honorable mention, And I struggled with this one. This one

83
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 1: almost broke into the top five. Top five offseason moves

84
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 1: for your Texans. Okay, Caden McDonald honorable mention. Okay, I

85
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 1: think that this could be a really good player for

86
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 1: this football team. And it's a guy that maybe the

87
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 1: rookie season isn't one of those that explodes, but there's

88
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 1: some plays made maybe in the postseason it comes on

89
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 1: even stronger. Who knows, But I think in the years

90
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 1: to come, we're gonna look at Caiden McDonald and say, wow,

91
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 1: you know, I did a thing with Keeland Rutledge last

92
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 1: week for the Lux Partners, and if you're a Lux partner,

93
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 1: you know what that means. Sweets and all the treats

94
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 1: and sweets that go along with that lifestyle. So you

95
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 1: get exclusive content like me talking to Kailan Rutledge. But

96
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:31,040
Speaker 1: he was talking about Kaiden McDonald. You know, he knows

97
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 1: who he is, and you know, I think they're both

98
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 1: from Georgia. Yeah, they didn't play against each other, but

99
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:37,720
Speaker 1: they knew about each other, That's right.

100
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 2: Something like that.

101
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:41,039
Speaker 3: Yeah, because Kiln Rylery has played Kristin Miller from Georgia,

102
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,040
Speaker 3: but Kate McDonald's from Georgia.

103
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 2: So yeah, so they're all Georgia. Sure.

104
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,719
Speaker 1: And then that led to the conversation, Man, there are

105
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 1: a lot of NFL players from Georgia and that has

106
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 1: been coming on strong in the last fifteen years.

107
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 2: Johnny.

108
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 1: I feel like prior to ten fifteen years ago, certainly

109
00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 1: had a lot of players from Georgia, but not as

110
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 1: many as we have have now. Do you think that's

111
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 1: a relatively recent phenomenon.

112
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,720
Speaker 3: I think Georgia high school football has been exceptional and

113
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 3: one of them. I mean, they have a lot of talent.

114
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 3: I mean theyn't get me wrong, but State Georgia pays

115
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 3: its coaches very very well. They pay like they do

116
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 3: here in Texas. Maybe not to that level, but pretty close.

117
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 3: We had a coach Jabar Gafney's high school coach was

118
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:24,920
Speaker 3: a man named Welton Coffee and Rains High School in Jacksonville,

119
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:28,600
Speaker 3: and he's the head coach. They went to a state

120
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 3: championship kind of out of nowhere in nineteen ninety seven,

121
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 3: I think it was. I think it's what it was.

122
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:35,600
Speaker 3: Ninety six ninety seven, won a state championship. He hit

123
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:38,480
Speaker 3: a stipend, a fifteen hundred dollars. Wow, So he decided,

124
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 3: you know what, forget this, I'm going to Georgia. He

125
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 3: got a job literally thirty minutes on the northern or

126
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 3: north of the Georgia border. I can't remember what it was,

127
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 3: but it was a county, one of the county schools,

128
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:50,600
Speaker 3: like Coldwood County or something like that, and he ended

129
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:54,039
Speaker 3: up making sick Sick Bank. I mean he made a

130
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 3: lot of money to be a high school football coach.

131
00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:58,920
Speaker 3: And so that's what was happening in a lot of coaches.

132
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:02,159
Speaker 3: They get they get taken, they get sucked into Georgia.

133
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:04,279
Speaker 3: And so now you've got these great athletes, you know,

134
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:07,480
Speaker 3: guys like Kamara Lasser, guys like Kiden McDonald, okay in

135
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:10,840
Speaker 3: went to Ohio State. But they're getting coached by really

136
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 3: good coaches. The good coaches want to be there because

137
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 3: they can get paid. I mean, you think about it,

138
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 3: good coaches want to be somewhere where they're gonna get money.

139
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 3: And wellt Coffee is a great example of that. He

140
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:23,119
Speaker 3: went up there, he got paid, and that has happened

141
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 3: to a lot of coaches in not only Jacksonville, but

142
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 3: in North Florida. They kind of get you know, sucked

143
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 3: across the line Valdosta. They'll pay a lot of money

144
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:32,119
Speaker 3: to be the coach there, all that kind of stuff.

145
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:35,359
Speaker 3: So that's I think helped that they're they're better coached.

146
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:39,280
Speaker 3: But there are some really good programs, really really good

147
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 3: programs in Georgia, and that doesn't even count. You know,

148
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 3: all of the city schools that are in Atlanta. Uh

149
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 3: and then obviously the suburbs of Atlanta. I mean, it's

150
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:50,040
Speaker 3: a really really good state. I just think they're getting

151
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:53,680
Speaker 3: better coached, they're more polished now, and I think that's

152
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:56,479
Speaker 3: given him better opportunity and it helps that a place

153
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 3: like University of Georgia, you can stay home and you can,

154
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 3: you know, be a really good player staying at home

155
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 3: to go University of Georgia before you end up going

156
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 3: to the league. And obviously Kamari you approve that. Jordan Davis,

157
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:08,840
Speaker 3: you know the guys that have all come out of

158
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 3: Georgia that have Georgia ties. So I don't I want

159
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 3: to say it's a recent phenomenon, but I think there's

160
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 3: a lot of factors that go into it that it's

161
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 3: not surprising now. But one of the best is, you know,

162
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 3: University of Georgia's you know, helping, but I think the

163
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 3: high school coaches being of a higher caliber because they

164
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 3: end up getting paid. So that's there. Speaking of can

165
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 3: I give you Honora mentional fast?

166
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:31,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, well it might be part of my top five,

167
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 1: but go ahead try it.

168
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 3: Okay, Well, in your top five, do you have anything

169
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 3: having to do with coaches? No, So here's my top five.

170
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 2: Okay.

171
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 3: The fact that, especially defensively, you have one hundred percent

172
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 3: continuity defensively at a go O case back, Vaso's back,

173
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 3: Online's back.

174
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 1: Does that count as an off season move or it's

175
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 1: it off season development or story?

176
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 3: Well, it depends on how you has how you look

177
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 3: at it. Because Unlin, Vasso, Burke all had different interviews

178
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:01,440
Speaker 3: along the way. Yep, they could all They could have

179
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 3: all left, they could have taken a job. I mean,

180
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 3: Corey could have very easily have been I think it

181
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 3: was Cleveland. Then he interviewed with He very easily could

182
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 3: have been the DC. So maybe the move is a

183
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 3: lack of a move, but it ends up being a

184
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 3: huge off season story in a sense that the coaching staff,

185
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 3: especially defensively, stayed very stayed what it was from last year.

186
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:24,960
Speaker 2: Kind of mind blowing a defense like this.

187
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 1: Absolutely, they must think that is the mad scientist and

188
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:31,240
Speaker 1: he does it all. Why wouldn't you hire one of

189
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 1: these guys?

190
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:34,959
Speaker 3: That's right? Or or look, maybe maybe teams wanted to

191
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:39,680
Speaker 3: and maybe the situation wasn't what they wanted. But either way,

192
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 3: you're bringing back your defensive staff and your defensive personnel

193
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 3: and adding Caiden McDonald and read Blankenship too.

194
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 1: I mean, there's so many coaches I don't want to sing. Well,

195
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:50,559
Speaker 1: I'll single a couple out right here, and you agree

196
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 1: with me because you know I hate seeing anybody leave

197
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:58,959
Speaker 1: really but Rod right, yeah, my gosh, the job he's

198
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 1: done with the D line. And then the guy who's

199
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:05,160
Speaker 1: the assistant D line coach as of last year of

200
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 1: Frank Okamp, former Texan. He watched this. This is sneaky

201
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 1: hot right here. That guy is a head coach. And

202
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 1: I think there are a lot of people on the

203
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:18,680
Speaker 1: staff like that, but I'll identify I like coming up

204
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:21,680
Speaker 1: with the guy who's the assistant assistant, right, you know,

205
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 1: a guy who's way under the radar because.

206
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:27,559
Speaker 2: I would watch out for him. Yep, I agree.

207
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:30,440
Speaker 1: I think that he's got the chops. And there are

208
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:34,679
Speaker 1: numerous others on this staff. But Frank Ocam, Now, Demiico's

209
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:35,960
Speaker 1: not going to want to hear me say this.

210
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 2: What if people are listening.

211
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:40,199
Speaker 1: See Bill O'Brien would have thought they're listening in New England,

212
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 1: they're going to steal him or something like that, and

213
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 1: he might have been right, you know, I mean if

214
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 1: they combed through all the team media to see what

215
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 1: guys like us say, you know, maybe that's an edge.

216
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:49,080
Speaker 2: I don't know.

217
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:51,559
Speaker 3: Yeah, like they're gonna buy like Bill O'Brien bought what

218
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:55,320
Speaker 3: we were selling. But I agree with you. When these

219
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:57,400
Speaker 3: coaches sit down, I think Stevian Otta Okay is going

220
00:09:57,440 --> 00:09:58,679
Speaker 3: to be a head coach someday.

221
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 1: One I mean the other one, I'm going I'm going

222
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:05,480
Speaker 1: to layer under, you know, because someday, you know, we

223
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:08,600
Speaker 1: because it's well documented. We had the flour here, Mike

224
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:11,720
Speaker 1: McDaniel here, we had Rob Salah here, We've had so

225
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 1: many guys here, you know who.

226
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 3: I'm excited to see. Speaking of assistant to the assistant. Look,

227
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:18,840
Speaker 3: you know Ben mcgames has been tremendous.

228
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:20,079
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, there's another one.

229
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 3: But his his wide receiver assistant is aka kiddn Play

230
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 3: Taekwan Underwood.

231
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 2: I know.

232
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:28,960
Speaker 3: And the first time I see him in the whole way,

233
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 3: I started hearing like, you know, a host party in

234
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:33,720
Speaker 3: my head because he's got that game play haircut. But

235
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:36,720
Speaker 3: I think he's a guy, and I go back to this.

236
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:38,440
Speaker 3: I hear people say this a lot. In fact, I

237
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:40,720
Speaker 3: heard somebody talking about this the other day. Oh, he

238
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:42,679
Speaker 3: was a great player, so he'll be a great coach.

239
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 3: I'm like, no, No, Sometimes you're best coaches are the

240
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:51,480
Speaker 3: guys that got the most out of themselves as players

241
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:54,280
Speaker 3: so often, but they understand the game, they understand how

242
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 3: it works. And I think Taekwan is one of those guys.

243
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 3: And he's the assistant wide receivers coach Taekwan Underwood, So

244
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 3: I'm I'm really excited about what he brings to the

245
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 3: party as well. I watch him out at OTA's and

246
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 3: he's just got good vibes. He's very positive, he's always

247
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:09,320
Speaker 3: just kind of running and moving to the next next one,

248
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 3: and I just think he's got the right mentality, especially

249
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 3: to coach that particular position. But I think he's got more.

250
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 3: He's got more in the hopper than just being wide

251
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:20,520
Speaker 3: receivers coach or if that's where it stops, whatever, He's

252
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:22,600
Speaker 3: gonna be a tremendous one. But I think tak One

253
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:24,599
Speaker 3: Underwood is a guy, like you said, the assistant to

254
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:26,040
Speaker 3: the assistant. I think he's gonna be fun.

255
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 1: Well, here's the thing. So many players during their career

256
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 1: you could identify them as coaching prospects because of their

257
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 1: intellect and they appear to have the goods to teach others,

258
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:35,680
Speaker 1: But are they going to.

259
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 2: Want to do it?

260
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:37,520
Speaker 3: That's a big question.

261
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 2: You just never know who's gonna want.

262
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:41,560
Speaker 3: To do it. Wait, by the way, by the way,

263
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:44,679
Speaker 3: did you see who was helping out Mike Vrabel what

264
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 3: Patriots practiced last weekend?

265
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 2: The puppy. Oh no, that was a different thing.

266
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 3: No, what potential wide receivers coach DeAndre Hopkins.

267
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:57,240
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I did see this. Interesting I saw that.

268
00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 1: I just went so Vrabel, Yeah, Vrabel, of all people, Rabel,

269
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 1: all right.

270
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 2: I guess so.

271
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 3: I mean the thing I forgot is you coached him

272
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:11,720
Speaker 3: at Tennessee. But I think, I mean, I think Hop,

273
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:15,199
Speaker 3: you know, it's it's gonna be tough for Hop to say,

274
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:17,040
Speaker 3: guy's got drops, what do you do? And Hop's like, well,

275
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 3: you catch the ball.

276
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 1: Just catch the ball. Catch the ball, I mean, just

277
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 1: high point the ball. You just go get it. You

278
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:24,319
Speaker 1: just go get it. But Pop was one of the

279
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:25,959
Speaker 1: best I ever saw.

280
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:29,560
Speaker 3: I mean obviously catching the ball, but body controlling the sidelines,

281
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:32,440
Speaker 3: getting two feet in bounds. It was funny because I

282
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:34,480
Speaker 3: feel like Hop, you know, you and I talked about

283
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 3: this over the years, about how the ball would be

284
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 3: thrown by the sidelines, and it changed the way that

285
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 3: you would call the game because at first, at first

286
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 3: you would be always out of bounds, but then when

287
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:47,280
Speaker 3: you show the ball staring Hop.

288
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,440
Speaker 1: You would kind of and you'd wait, you wait for

289
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:49,840
Speaker 1: the official.

290
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 3: You have to wait for the official because he would

291
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 3: do some things and then you'd see the replay like,

292
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:54,560
Speaker 3: holy crap.

293
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:56,319
Speaker 2: I don't know how the officials see that. You have

294
00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:58,599
Speaker 2: to look to make sure the ball is secure and

295
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:00,560
Speaker 2: the feat you see both.

296
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:01,360
Speaker 3: I don't.

297
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 1: I don't know, you know, I'm just gonna call it

298
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:04,600
Speaker 1: in and then go ahead and review it if you

299
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 1: need to.

300
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:07,880
Speaker 3: Co Hopkins though, how about that? Now that's not set

301
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:10,160
Speaker 3: in stone because I still think DeAndre wants to play.

302
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:15,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, but if he coaches, that's unlikely. I mean in

303
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:17,760
Speaker 1: terms of a projection I would have had while he

304
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 1: was Yeah, yeah.

305
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 3: Exactly, I didn't. I didn't think hop would have been

306
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 3: a coach.

307
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:22,559
Speaker 1: Andre Johnson, who sat in the chair you're sitting and

308
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 1: told us the story of you know, when hop was

309
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 1: a rookie.

310
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:27,440
Speaker 2: He's like, well, why don't we just throw the throw up?

311
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:31,199
Speaker 1: To throw the ball up, you know, and Andre's explaining

312
00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:33,679
Speaker 1: route running and everything, Andrey Johnson would be a hell

313
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 1: of a coach, but he doesn't want to do it right.

314
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:37,319
Speaker 2: Otherwise he'd be doing it.

315
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 3: That's right. So there's a lot that goes in.

316
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:40,360
Speaker 2: There's a lot of guys goes in.

317
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 3: I mean, it's I mean, it's it's.

318
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 1: A I mean, he would be a hell of a coach,

319
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:47,200
Speaker 1: but you know, he doesn't want to coach. He wants

320
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:49,600
Speaker 1: to He is a hell of a coach in basketball.

321
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:52,640
Speaker 1: You know, he wins all these tournaments, these national tournaments

322
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:54,959
Speaker 1: with his team and everything. But uh and he and

323
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:56,839
Speaker 1: he or it goes deep at the very least and

324
00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 1: wins some and he just doesn't want to do the

325
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:03,680
Speaker 1: full time, you know, twenty six hours a day football coach.

326
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 1: Now that's a grind of a different type. Okay, so

327
00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:08,040
Speaker 1: we got off the track, Yeah we did. So we

328
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:11,840
Speaker 1: haven't getting back to the top. So we did honorable mention. Okay,

329
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 1: you're going to reverse order here.

330
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:14,080
Speaker 2: I'm going to reverse order.

331
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 1: Top five off season stories or acquisitions, moves, moves moves

332
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:24,440
Speaker 1: for the Houston Texts. Number five, the acquisition of read

333
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:26,680
Speaker 1: blanket ship. He's a top five.

334
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:27,320
Speaker 2: Now.

335
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:29,080
Speaker 1: We could talk all we want about other things, and

336
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:33,680
Speaker 1: they're coming. Don't worry but read blanket Ship. My gosh,

337
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:37,920
Speaker 1: you know you have a beautiful house and you put

338
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:41,640
Speaker 1: an addition on it. Did you need the addition? You

339
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:44,800
Speaker 1: know it was a luxury? This is called a luxury Johnny.

340
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:48,240
Speaker 1: Well maybe it's a necessity. I don't know, but I

341
00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:50,480
Speaker 1: think the health of m J. Stewart factors in here.

342
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:55,240
Speaker 1: But all that aside, you have m J. Stewart in

343
00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 1: the building and at some point we'll be ready and

344
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:02,280
Speaker 1: then you're looking at let's get even better, right because

345
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:04,840
Speaker 1: them Jay can help us no matter what. Absolute But

346
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 1: read blanket Ship steps into the starting lineup with Calen Bullock,

347
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:11,120
Speaker 1: Petrie Nickel.

348
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:13,960
Speaker 2: You know who else is out there? This is ridiculous.

349
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 1: This is absolutely phenomenal that you acquired Read blanken Ship.

350
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:19,760
Speaker 3: There are a couple of ways, like when you use

351
00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:21,920
Speaker 3: the house comparison like do you you know, do you

352
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 3: need this?

353
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:22,880
Speaker 2: Do you need that?

354
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:24,520
Speaker 3: And it hit me like there are a couple of

355
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:29,479
Speaker 3: things like maybe you have a an electric stove. Reblanket

356
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:31,040
Speaker 3: ship is gas because a lot of people want to

357
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:33,720
Speaker 3: use gas in cooking, Like, yeah, the electric stove is good,

358
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:36,240
Speaker 3: it's good, but all but you can get gas.

359
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:36,960
Speaker 2: I have induction.

360
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:40,920
Speaker 3: That's good. I never liked the induction.

361
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:42,240
Speaker 2: No, I don't. I don't like it much either.

362
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:44,680
Speaker 3: I'd rather have a gas but but but you get

363
00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:46,960
Speaker 3: the point. It's like having you know, you've got a house,

364
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:52,680
Speaker 3: and you had you know, you've got like neighborhood security.

365
00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:55,000
Speaker 3: But then you put in a ring at your you

366
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:58,520
Speaker 3: know what, you know whatever, the doorbell ring security service.

367
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 3: You know, that's kind of reblank It's It's something that

368
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:05,040
Speaker 3: I didn't think they were going to. I thought that

369
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 3: might be something they approached the draft. I thought it

370
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:11,240
Speaker 3: might be something that I don't say they look past.

371
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:14,720
Speaker 3: But they survived last year the best defense in the league,

372
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:16,920
Speaker 3: and they had four or five guys playing in that

373
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 3: particular position. But they decided, look, we've got we got

374
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 3: to lock this down with somebody that we trust, somebody

375
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:30,440
Speaker 3: that can, you know, be versatile, dependable, physical, helping run past.

376
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:33,360
Speaker 3: I think they found that reblanket ship. I remember I

377
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:36,760
Speaker 3: was driving somewhere and I heard reblankets. Oh my god.

378
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 3: I mean it was one of the acquisitions that I

379
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:43,480
Speaker 3: was so excited about because I really felt like that

380
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:47,120
Speaker 3: was the Okay, we've done everything on this house. Now

381
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 3: we just put the ring camera on. It's it's hugely

382
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:51,360
Speaker 3: important for a lot of houses. And we've just put

383
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 3: that on and this house is ready to go. Yeah.

384
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:54,200
Speaker 2: I like it all right.

385
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:57,200
Speaker 1: So that's number five off season moves for your Texans

386
00:16:57,200 --> 00:16:59,280
Speaker 1: on the eve of training camp beginning.

387
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:03,400
Speaker 2: What are they well? Five is Reid blanket Ship. Four.

388
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:06,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna chick it out here a little bit. I'm

389
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:10,520
Speaker 1: gonna say Braiden Smith, but I'm gonna say right tackle. Okay,

390
00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:14,119
Speaker 1: right tackle? Oh, okay, we know the left tackle is

391
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:18,880
Speaker 1: arianta URSII. Right tackle. What they did here they not

392
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:22,720
Speaker 1: only signed Braiden Smith, but they reupt Trent Brown. Yeah,

393
00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:27,760
Speaker 1: therefore you have solidified right tackle. You have built pillars there.

394
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:30,800
Speaker 1: And Blake Fisher is still on his football team and

395
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:33,960
Speaker 1: is a swing type guy. I would imagine Trent would

396
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:35,919
Speaker 1: play left tackle if you needed him to.

397
00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:39,399
Speaker 2: Could would good. Maybe Blake does. I don't know.

398
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:41,160
Speaker 1: I don't want to see it. I want to see

399
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:44,760
Speaker 1: Tay out there seventeen games plus, thank you. But the

400
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:48,040
Speaker 1: point is this, I like what they did here because

401
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:49,399
Speaker 1: they made it so.

402
00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:53,400
Speaker 2: Trent is not the guy who has to play at all.

403
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:55,840
Speaker 1: Maybe, but if you need to play him, you can

404
00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:59,120
Speaker 1: and Braiden Smith, but he's got injury issues. Maybe well

405
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:02,399
Speaker 1: you have Trent Brown and hopefully Braiden can go the

406
00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:04,960
Speaker 1: whole way. But if you can't, you got Trent Brown

407
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 1: to go some of the way and then you still

408
00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:06,960
Speaker 1: have Blake.

409
00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:09,280
Speaker 2: I like what they did here at right tackle.

410
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:12,719
Speaker 3: Most years, let's just say most years. There have been

411
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:15,360
Speaker 3: some years where Plan A wasn't a good plan for anybody.

412
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:19,680
Speaker 3: You're like, who's our starter? You don't even know? Now you're

413
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:23,840
Speaker 3: satisfied with Plan A, B and C. Like you just said,

414
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 3: you just laid it out, Braiden Smith, Blake Fisher, Trent

415
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:32,119
Speaker 3: Brown and whatever order you got plans. You don't just

416
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:36,520
Speaker 3: have all plan. If something doesn't work out or there's

417
00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 3: an injury, you can go to Plan B, whatever that

418
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:41,399
Speaker 3: ends up being. But you have options. And there have

419
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:43,920
Speaker 3: been years there haven't even options. There have been years

420
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:46,680
Speaker 3: where you thought the plan you had was gonna be good,

421
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:48,520
Speaker 3: and then a training camp you get guys banged up,

422
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:51,040
Speaker 3: and then VOILA. For a million bucks, you get George

423
00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:53,640
Speaker 3: Fant and you got more than a million dollars worth

424
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:55,960
Speaker 3: of value from him. And that's the way it's worked out.

425
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:56,560
Speaker 2: In some years.

426
00:18:57,320 --> 00:19:00,359
Speaker 3: This year, I think you've got the plan for that

427
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:05,159
Speaker 3: particular position for the entire season, not just well this

428
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:07,640
Speaker 3: will get us by. I feel like that's the plan,

429
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:10,879
Speaker 3: whether it's you know, Braden starts, Trent's ready to go

430
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:13,520
Speaker 3: at a moment's notice. Look, it'd be great if every

431
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:15,840
Speaker 3: all of them could play all seventeen games. But as

432
00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:18,480
Speaker 3: we said earlier, we know we know on the offensive

433
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:20,240
Speaker 3: line doesn't always happen. So I like the way you

434
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:22,800
Speaker 3: phrased that right tackle. I might even move that up.

435
00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 3: You get that four, I might even move that up

436
00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:27,840
Speaker 3: to three or two because how important the offensive But

437
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:30,040
Speaker 3: I want to hear the rest, to hear the rest

438
00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:33,600
Speaker 3: before I make that assessment. But if you gave it,

439
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:35,400
Speaker 3: gave it to me a blind ranking, I probably would

440
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 3: have put it too.

441
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 1: Okay, it's the top five offseason moves on the eve

442
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:42,359
Speaker 1: of training camp beginning. So five read blanket ship four,

443
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:46,120
Speaker 1: the right tackle, the right tackle acquisition, slash keeping Trent

444
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:51,560
Speaker 1: Brown yep number three the drafting of Keeland Rutledge. I

445
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:53,679
Speaker 1: did that thing with him last week, Johnny, And what

446
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:56,440
Speaker 1: strikes me about him is there are certain rookies who

447
00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:59,719
Speaker 1: come in who are so mature, they don't seem like

448
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:03,159
Speaker 1: and he's one of those guys. He just doesn't seem

449
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:05,720
Speaker 1: like a rookie already. You know, I'm not going to

450
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:08,840
Speaker 1: compare him to Dimico Ryans. Oh wait, I am, because

451
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:12,439
Speaker 1: Demiko as a rookie, I know, different positions, different sides

452
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:15,400
Speaker 1: of the ball. But Dimiko as a rookie was so mature,

453
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:18,240
Speaker 1: didn't seem like a rookie. Never mind on the field

454
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:20,359
Speaker 1: and cap and all that. I'm just talking about talking

455
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:22,959
Speaker 1: to him straight up as a rookie because I did

456
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:26,320
Speaker 1: a couple of events prior to the opening gun that

457
00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 1: two thousand and six season. We used to have so

458
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:30,440
Speaker 1: many more events pre season, right.

459
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:32,960
Speaker 2: We had that thing at Keema Boardwalk with the rookies.

460
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:34,640
Speaker 2: Oh man, that awesome.

461
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:35,199
Speaker 3: Yeah.

462
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:39,200
Speaker 1: Well for me, now, it was pretty hot, and it

463
00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:42,760
Speaker 1: was really hot because you know in the band stages

464
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:45,160
Speaker 1: at Keema, you know, in the open area there. We'd

465
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:47,600
Speaker 1: go up there and didn't have the cheerleaders and the

466
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:48,720
Speaker 1: whole thing, and it was awesome.

467
00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:49,239
Speaker 2: It was.

468
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:51,760
Speaker 1: And that then, I mean, it must have been the

469
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:55,240
Speaker 1: first nine ten years of franchise history. The rookies on

470
00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:57,480
Speaker 1: Labor Day weekend at Keema boardwalk.

471
00:20:57,640 --> 00:20:58,240
Speaker 2: That was a thing.

472
00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:01,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was a thing. I did it every year,

473
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:03,480
Speaker 1: was bring it back. It was kind of fun. It

474
00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:05,359
Speaker 1: was fun. It would have been better at night as

475
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:08,480
Speaker 1: far as temperature, but Demiko was at that one and

476
00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:12,200
Speaker 1: that was really cool. Anyway, Rutledge, I think super mature

477
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:16,720
Speaker 1: obviously plays well. I think that this guy playing center

478
00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:19,399
Speaker 1: in all likelihood is going to be a difference maker.

479
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:20,920
Speaker 1: I think if he doesn't play center, he's going to

480
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:23,240
Speaker 1: be a difference maker at guard. Either way, he's a

481
00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:26,119
Speaker 1: difference maker on your old line. First round draft choice,

482
00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:26,679
Speaker 1: let's go.

483
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:30,919
Speaker 3: I think it was funny talking to Kate Stover. He

484
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:34,040
Speaker 3: was the one who said it in only the way

485
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:38,040
Speaker 3: that Kate Stover can say it on radio. When we

486
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:42,320
Speaker 3: asked about look, everybody talks about, oh, the Texans defense

487
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:44,480
Speaker 3: has swarm. At Texas defense is swarming. Oh yeah, but

488
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:46,560
Speaker 3: what about the offense? Is the offense mirror that? And

489
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:48,920
Speaker 3: he's like, look, we get ticked off or we're tired

490
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:52,439
Speaker 3: of that. But I think they finally have the personnel,

491
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:57,560
Speaker 3: including Caid, including Keelan Rutledge, that has that mentality that

492
00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:01,960
Speaker 3: thinks like the defense does across the board. And I

493
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:05,000
Speaker 3: feel like Keithen Rutlige kind of epitomizes that. It's I

494
00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:06,919
Speaker 3: mean the Wednesday before the draft and I was on

495
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:09,119
Speaker 3: a sean it Seth I said those exact words, like,

496
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:12,720
Speaker 3: you want to change the mentality, you oftentimes have to

497
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:15,120
Speaker 3: change the personnel. And I think the personnel they've brought

498
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:17,800
Speaker 3: in to do that. You mentioned Braden Smith, Trent Brown

499
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:22,960
Speaker 3: from from last year. They've they've wanted to reset that

500
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:28,600
Speaker 3: offensive line room such that the personnel just naturally thinks

501
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:31,159
Speaker 3: like the defense does. If you want to put it

502
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:33,960
Speaker 3: in those terms, Keelan Rutligs is key to that. Wyatt

503
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:36,080
Speaker 3: Teller is key to that. Ed Ingram is key to that.

504
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 3: Drafting Arianta erstri He is certainly key to that. And

505
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:42,520
Speaker 3: the more guys you have that think that way, the

506
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:45,120
Speaker 3: better off you're going to be. Because you know, if

507
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:48,159
Speaker 3: if we talk about you know different you know rooms,

508
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:51,240
Speaker 3: you know position rooms. You know there there are rooms

509
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:54,600
Speaker 3: that you know, one guy can infect the entire room

510
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 3: with a bad attitude or whatever it might be, whether

511
00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:59,399
Speaker 3: it's a receiver dB or you know, offensive line or whatever.

512
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:02,840
Speaker 3: But if you've got enough guys in there that think

513
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:06,640
Speaker 3: the way that Keiland Rutlish does that can be powerful

514
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:08,680
Speaker 3: as well for the guys that maybe you don't always

515
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:11,119
Speaker 3: think that way. So I think hopefully you put that

516
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:13,159
Speaker 3: culture in Keilan Rutlis will be a big part of that.

517
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:16,800
Speaker 1: Okay, So he's three in our top five offseason moves.

518
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:19,280
Speaker 3: I would that three is probably about that's where I would.

519
00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:19,760
Speaker 2: Put It's okay.

520
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:22,680
Speaker 1: Now with the top two, you would think that I

521
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:25,480
Speaker 1: might have struggled a bit who's one and who's two

522
00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:28,600
Speaker 1: in the top five offseason moves in the eve of

523
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:32,240
Speaker 1: training camp, But I did not struggle with this, Johnny.

524
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:36,199
Speaker 1: It was pretty clear to me that number two in

525
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:40,160
Speaker 1: the top five is the acquisition of David Montgomery. Okay,

526
00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:44,479
Speaker 1: running back for your Texans, a man who will change

527
00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:49,919
Speaker 1: things in the running game, and acquiring him and really

528
00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:54,360
Speaker 1: nobody else told me a couple of things. One they

529
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:58,480
Speaker 1: like him a lot, sure. Two they like Woody marks

530
00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:01,760
Speaker 1: a lot. Yes, they love what he marks. And I

531
00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:03,800
Speaker 1: think they feel like this one. Two is gonna be

532
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:08,160
Speaker 1: pretty good, right. Three at a third Okay, they think

533
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:12,600
Speaker 1: Jamar Jordan can play, and I think they're right, because, Johnny,

534
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:16,000
Speaker 1: where else are they going to find running back?

535
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:16,280
Speaker 2: Help?

536
00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:18,800
Speaker 1: British is on the team, right, Jawar is on the team.

537
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:20,960
Speaker 1: Who's your guy from Yale again?

538
00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:22,640
Speaker 3: Oh, Josh Pittsenburger.

539
00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:24,320
Speaker 2: Let's go Pittsenberger IV.

540
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:26,960
Speaker 1: Pittsenburger is gonna be one of those camp stars, I'm

541
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:29,640
Speaker 1: telling you, and and he's gonna light up telling you

542
00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:33,480
Speaker 1: midway through the third quarter of a couple of preseason games,

543
00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:34,200
Speaker 1: he's coming in.

544
00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:36,960
Speaker 3: To find out football is all about baby, and.

545
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:39,159
Speaker 1: People are gonna be like pitts a Burger And you

546
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:40,600
Speaker 1: never know, maybe he turns intwo.

547
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:43,520
Speaker 3: I'm telling you, he scores a touchdown that first preseason game,

548
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:47,280
Speaker 3: and I will go. I will have replays and everything

549
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:49,359
Speaker 3: going on TV. Dave Keene's gonna get sick of me.

550
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:51,840
Speaker 2: Have you already gotten the TV graphic on him?

551
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:55,200
Speaker 3: The NFL. I'm making sure when I send in because

552
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:57,080
Speaker 3: Dave wants us to send in kind of our storylines.

553
00:24:57,119 --> 00:24:59,960
Speaker 3: I'm making sure that sneaking it right in there. Good.

554
00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:02,640
Speaker 2: It's a good one because it's preseason. He always gonna

555
00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:04,520
Speaker 2: be there. I like him. Mark.

556
00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:06,280
Speaker 3: You know, I've been a big fan of mot Coomery

557
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:08,760
Speaker 3: for a while. I just I love his running style.

558
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:11,680
Speaker 3: I love to come on Iowa State. I love Guys,

559
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:16,040
Speaker 3: when I when I think about just playing defense, I

560
00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:22,119
Speaker 3: think about how difficult it would have been. In my mind,

561
00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:23,400
Speaker 3: I got to tackle this guy.

562
00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:24,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is tough.

563
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:27,920
Speaker 3: And when you watch him, even in OTA's in mini camp,

564
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:30,720
Speaker 3: I would have some pretty good angles to see him

565
00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:33,560
Speaker 3: run the button. Look, it's not one hundred percent, it's

566
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:36,240
Speaker 3: not with pads. I get all that, But when you

567
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:40,200
Speaker 3: just watch him just make those powerful cuts and jump

568
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:42,760
Speaker 3: cuts and just getting in out of holes and just

569
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:45,080
Speaker 3: making peoples he was making. He was taking every run

570
00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:47,359
Speaker 3: like it was a run in the super Bowl. And

571
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:49,640
Speaker 3: I think he's got so much more left in the tank.

572
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:51,199
Speaker 3: I thought it was a great acquistion. I'm wh we

573
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:53,280
Speaker 3: trade for him, like, and I know people got all

574
00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:56,440
Speaker 3: up in their feeling, Well, you gave up three different pieces, like, man,

575
00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:58,240
Speaker 3: you kidding me. You gave up a seven to twenty

576
00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 3: twenty seven. You gave up a guy that what probably

577
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 3: wasn't gonna make your team as much as we loved him,

578
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:04,399
Speaker 3: juice scrugs, he wasn't gonna make your team. And you

579
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:06,359
Speaker 3: give a fourth rounder and you got David Montgomery, a

580
00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:09,320
Speaker 3: guy that you think has got plenty of juice left

581
00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:10,760
Speaker 3: and hoping that he does.

582
00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:13,719
Speaker 1: I got a staff for you. Go ahead, I can

583
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:15,840
Speaker 1: throw a bunch of numbers out there. Yeah, here's what

584
00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:19,159
Speaker 1: I like. Okay, thirty three thirty three touchdowns in the

585
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:23,320
Speaker 1: last three years. David Montgomery. We struggled with last year

586
00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:27,400
Speaker 1: for sure scoring touchdowns. All right, these are rushing touchdowns

587
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:30,280
Speaker 1: and he's not even the top running back on the team, right,

588
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:32,359
Speaker 1: and he gets into the end zone thirty three times

589
00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:33,399
Speaker 1: in the last three years.

590
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:35,040
Speaker 2: Sign me up for some of this.

591
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:39,200
Speaker 3: How much do you think one hundred percent truth Serum

592
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:42,720
Speaker 3: and Nick Serio and Dimiko Ryans, how much do you

593
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:46,679
Speaker 3: think when they talked about obtaining David Montgomery? Do you

594
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:49,160
Speaker 3: think they talked about and said, hey, remember seeing him

595
00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:52,919
Speaker 3: enjoy practice last year? Sure, I guarantee you that was

596
00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:53,679
Speaker 3: that was part of it.

597
00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:55,640
Speaker 1: Well, that's something we could talk about with Nick when

598
00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:59,879
Speaker 1: we have him on on Thursday morning. Because they scout everybody.

599
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:03,080
Speaker 1: I mean, there's no better places houses than your very

600
00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:07,200
Speaker 1: own league. And note to self, he might be available

601
00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:10,560
Speaker 1: next year via trade, so maybe won't want to go

602
00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:11,040
Speaker 1: after him.

603
00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:12,840
Speaker 2: Let's monitor it. They monitor everybody.

604
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:14,800
Speaker 1: It's a thirty two team league and they got guys

605
00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:19,280
Speaker 1: Galore upstairs, whose job it is to survey and spy

606
00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:23,919
Speaker 1: not you know, not ill that's a bad word to examine,

607
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:29,040
Speaker 1: analyze every player in the practice gate, you know, vanderm

608
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:30,760
Speaker 1: Meracusa Texas spying.

609
00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:34,879
Speaker 2: Oh shoot, anyway you can that.

610
00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:42,360
Speaker 3: Okay, Now you say number one. Now I'm curious, number one, number.

611
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:43,440
Speaker 2: One off season move.

612
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:45,000
Speaker 3: I thought that was going to be number one.

613
00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:50,000
Speaker 1: I thought about it, But as I think about it deeply, deeper,

614
00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:53,040
Speaker 1: this is the number one off season move for your

615
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:56,879
Speaker 1: Houston Texans. And to me, I think there's a considerable

616
00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:59,280
Speaker 1: gap between one and two. And that is the acquisition

617
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:04,240
Speaker 1: of whyatt teller? Whyatt teller? And look, people.

618
00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:06,840
Speaker 3: Say, well, you know, maybe end of the career ish.

619
00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:08,119
Speaker 1: And is he going to be able to stay healthy?

620
00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:10,439
Speaker 1: And I'm not going to say I don't care. I

621
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:12,719
Speaker 1: care about that, but I want him in this building.

622
00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:14,720
Speaker 1: I want him in that room. All the reasons you

623
00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:18,320
Speaker 1: pointed out about the offensive line getting swarmy or whatever,

624
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:21,040
Speaker 1: all of that, you're bringing in a bunch of guys.

625
00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:24,280
Speaker 1: You're bringing in Braden Smith. You've drafted Keelan Ruttledge from

626
00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:26,040
Speaker 1: the Benchi wee wu. Let's see what he does. We

627
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:28,360
Speaker 1: talked about Evan Brown. You re signed and by the way,

628
00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:30,720
Speaker 1: ed Ingram I did not forget about you. You're in

629
00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:32,200
Speaker 1: the honorable mentioned category two.

630
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:33,000
Speaker 2: At the very least.

631
00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:37,280
Speaker 1: The resigning of Editingram is huge because you don't have

632
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:39,520
Speaker 1: to do anything at that spot and you know that

633
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:43,200
Speaker 1: you're gonna be okay. But with Wyatt Teller, you need

634
00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:45,440
Speaker 1: that guy in the room. You know, Rutlers can be

635
00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:47,640
Speaker 1: that guy eventually, and maybe somebody else as well.

636
00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:48,640
Speaker 2: Maybe Tay is that guy.

637
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:52,320
Speaker 1: I like Tay's attitude too, Johnny, but we experienced his

638
00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:54,640
Speaker 1: rookie season. I don't know if he's ready to take

639
00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:57,320
Speaker 1: over the room just yet. Right think he's question than

640
00:28:57,320 --> 00:29:00,920
Speaker 1: we think maybe. But Whyatt Teller is? I know this

641
00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:03,840
Speaker 1: and you get a bunch of guys together. I think

642
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:06,000
Speaker 1: this is a very key individual to have in that

643
00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:09,880
Speaker 1: room psychologically and physically. So let's see how it all

644
00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:12,000
Speaker 1: plays out on the field. You had to improve the

645
00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:14,560
Speaker 1: offensive line, and I'll say this tomorrow morning, we're gonna

646
00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:16,120
Speaker 1: talk about it. I think we're gonna lead off the

647
00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:18,600
Speaker 1: show with the old line because that's the story that's

648
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:21,719
Speaker 1: down and the quarterback. Maybe I don't know if we're

649
00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:24,080
Speaker 1: going to do one tomorrow because we got Nick Casarius

650
00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:25,680
Speaker 1: press conference and a lot of stuff going on. But

651
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:31,240
Speaker 1: the point is this, they will be better than they

652
00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:35,840
Speaker 1: were last year period. Now, how much better remains to

653
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:38,720
Speaker 1: be seen, but I will guarantee they'll be better.

654
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:41,160
Speaker 2: Will they be a lot better? I hope so I

655
00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:43,960
Speaker 2: think they will. But at the very.

656
00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:48,040
Speaker 1: Least, they'll be better. And better is good. Better could

657
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:50,360
Speaker 1: get you there. A lot of other things have to

658
00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:53,600
Speaker 1: go right, but better could get you there. Even a

659
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:56,400
Speaker 1: little bit better could possibly get you there. You know

660
00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:58,480
Speaker 1: what if Sean and Seth always say I think Seth

661
00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:00,680
Speaker 1: is a guy who says stuff like this a lot.

662
00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:02,880
Speaker 2: If they get just and maybe Sean too, if.

663
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:05,720
Speaker 1: They just get average play just whatever, the middle of

664
00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:09,000
Speaker 1: the road is right on the offensive line, they can

665
00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:12,080
Speaker 1: do X right obviously quarterbacking, you know, you can't shurt

666
00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:12,360
Speaker 1: it over.

667
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:15,960
Speaker 2: I get it. But I think they could be better

668
00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:18,160
Speaker 2: than that with this group.

669
00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:20,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree, And I was wondering. I was like

670
00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:23,280
Speaker 3: number one, and then I remember, oh, I already mentioned

671
00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:25,800
Speaker 3: whyatt telor and so yeah, I think because I mentioned

672
00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:27,880
Speaker 3: keeping track of talking about geez.

673
00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:29,160
Speaker 2: No.

674
00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:31,320
Speaker 3: But but as we were talking about things, I mentioned

675
00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:33,240
Speaker 3: the name Wyatt teller and so when you're like, what

676
00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:36,400
Speaker 3: would be you know, oh yeah, and then you said it,

677
00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:38,640
Speaker 3: and I think again it goes back to like you

678
00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:42,160
Speaker 3: said what I was talking about earlier, and I think

679
00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:44,160
Speaker 3: people get a little bit tired of hearing this, but

680
00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:48,040
Speaker 3: I think that's what today's NFL really is all about.

681
00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:51,920
Speaker 3: You look at teams and places with good cultures, and

682
00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:55,960
Speaker 3: you're looking at division winning teams, conference winning teams, super

683
00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:57,120
Speaker 3: Bowl championship teams.

684
00:30:57,280 --> 00:30:58,080
Speaker 2: Yeah.

685
00:30:58,160 --> 00:30:59,960
Speaker 3: I remember last year's they were going into the sea,

686
00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:02,240
Speaker 3: and of course I follow all the teams just falling

687
00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:05,320
Speaker 3: from Afar and watching the Seahawks, and you could just tell, man,

688
00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:08,080
Speaker 3: there's a good vibe around this team. If Sam Darnold

689
00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:10,560
Speaker 3: could play well, you know, they added Grace Sable to rookie.

690
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:12,640
Speaker 3: He came in and did really good things for them.

691
00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:14,560
Speaker 3: They had a couple of tackles that had been there,

692
00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:16,560
Speaker 3: and they played a little bit better, but it was

693
00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:19,040
Speaker 3: like they're the vibes that they had. The other thing

694
00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:20,360
Speaker 3: you have to have, I think.

695
00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:20,720
Speaker 4: Is.

696
00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:27,720
Speaker 3: You have to have players that speak the same language

697
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:32,200
Speaker 3: as the position coach. And Cole Popovich to me, he

698
00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:35,080
Speaker 3: we seen Cole. Cole said in his seat, and we

699
00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:37,360
Speaker 3: asked Cole about the offensive line last year after they

700
00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:38,880
Speaker 3: had played better.

701
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:42,120
Speaker 2: What did he say? Oh, he was not happy.

702
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:44,200
Speaker 3: He was not happy. He he is a guy that

703
00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:47,320
Speaker 3: challenges them, he coaches them hard, and I think he

704
00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:49,440
Speaker 3: wants guys that respond to that.

705
00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:52,200
Speaker 1: What I just said about that being better, he would

706
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:54,080
Speaker 1: hate that.

707
00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:57,640
Speaker 2: He's like a little bit better. It is not good

708
00:31:57,640 --> 00:31:57,800
Speaker 2: of it.

709
00:31:57,960 --> 00:31:59,800
Speaker 3: I'm glad you said that because I know people out

710
00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:02,080
Speaker 3: there hear that and go average. I don't want to

711
00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:03,720
Speaker 3: have That's not That's not what.

712
00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:06,080
Speaker 1: I was I wasn't saying that. I was saying, get

713
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:08,320
Speaker 1: us to at least that, get us at least that.

714
00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:14,040
Speaker 3: But our expectation is with these individuals, these acquisitions, because

715
00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:16,840
Speaker 3: you mentioned right tackle, which ends up being a couple

716
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:21,160
Speaker 3: of guys, whyatt teller Keelan Rutliche. We're talking about what

717
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:26,200
Speaker 3: could be seventy five to the the crux of this

718
00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:27,320
Speaker 3: offensive line.

719
00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:31,360
Speaker 1: And people hyper examine in progress, trade versus free agent

720
00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:34,320
Speaker 1: versus whatever. Who cares how they all got the You

721
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:37,600
Speaker 1: know you didn't trade two ones for Sauce Gardner.

722
00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:42,480
Speaker 3: Oh stop me, sorry, Sorry, all shows violence today, go

723
00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:46,160
Speaker 3: around the league later and coming up the best of

724
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:50,080
Speaker 3: the choice cuts of off season interviews on the Way

725
00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:54,040
Speaker 3: next year on Texans Radio, give it Things Moving run

726
00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:56,520
Speaker 3: along here in the Hunday Texans Radio studio on the

727
00:32:56,560 --> 00:32:59,640
Speaker 3: eve of training camp, I was outside earlier at.

728
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:02,280
Speaker 1: The Houston that his training center, checking out our broadcast

729
00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:06,000
Speaker 1: position for the first day of practice open practices get rolling.

730
00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:06,520
Speaker 2: Saturday.

731
00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:09,440
Speaker 1: Tickets are already distributed, so if you have friends who

732
00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:11,320
Speaker 1: are going or whatever, maybe they can hook you up.

733
00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:15,480
Speaker 1: But they are all out of tickets for open practice.

734
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:18,720
Speaker 1: And that'll be Saturday. They have eight open practices, but

735
00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:21,800
Speaker 1: you'll have three practices before we get to that point.

736
00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:23,960
Speaker 1: Will they be in pad Saturday or not? I cannot

737
00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:27,000
Speaker 1: tell you right now. I would think probably not. Maybe Monday.

738
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:30,400
Speaker 1: Sunday's a day off. One thing about Tamiko Ryans he

739
00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:33,840
Speaker 1: takes Sundays off. Now you might think, well, is that good.

740
00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:36,200
Speaker 1: Shouldn't they be working all the way through. No, he

741
00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:39,680
Speaker 1: times it that way because Sunday is an important day, right,

742
00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:42,280
Speaker 1: So he takes it off instead of and I'm sure

743
00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:44,320
Speaker 1: the coaches are working, by the way, but instead of

744
00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:47,960
Speaker 1: having it off day Tuesday or whatever, he wants to

745
00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:51,400
Speaker 1: time it. So days off ten to be on Sundays

746
00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:54,200
Speaker 1: during training camp, and that's just the way he rolls,

747
00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:56,200
Speaker 1: and it's worked out pretty well. This is the greatest

748
00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:59,480
Speaker 1: era of Texans football. I will say that again. And

749
00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:01,680
Speaker 1: Tamiko Ryans is off to the hottest start of any

750
00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:04,000
Speaker 1: coach in the history of the franchise, no question about that,

751
00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:07,480
Speaker 1: with three consecutive winning seasons. Now, he's not the only

752
00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:10,280
Speaker 1: coach to start his tenure with three consecutive winning seasons.

753
00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:13,400
Speaker 1: That was Bill O'Brien the other one in twenty fourteen, fifteen,

754
00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:17,120
Speaker 1: and sixteen, But in twenty fourteen no playoffs nine and seven,

755
00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:20,239
Speaker 1: twenty fifteen playoffs nine and seven, didn't win the playoff game,

756
00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:23,360
Speaker 1: and twenty sixteen finally won a playoff game and lost

757
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:26,759
Speaker 1: in the Divisional Round two. The new nemesis, They're really

758
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:28,799
Speaker 1: not a new nemesis. They've always been a nemesis. They're

759
00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:32,600
Speaker 1: not the nemesis. The nemesis is the Horseshoe, the Colts.

760
00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:36,520
Speaker 1: But the Patriots are a close second. And I've said

761
00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:39,600
Speaker 1: it before, the Patriots at Foxborough are an all time

762
00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:43,919
Speaker 1: Texans villain for me, period full stop. I'm still saying

763
00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:46,720
Speaker 1: full stop. I guess I have to phase that one out. Anyway,

764
00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:50,680
Speaker 1: I promise some best of stuff from our off season interviews,

765
00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:53,080
Speaker 1: and here's a few things, and I thought i'd focus

766
00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:55,440
Speaker 1: it on a theme here. I got four cuts here.

767
00:34:55,880 --> 00:34:58,520
Speaker 1: The theme is how is the offense doing?

768
00:34:58,560 --> 00:34:58,759
Speaker 2: Now?

769
00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:02,920
Speaker 1: This is certainly after OTAs and going into mini camps.

770
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:06,319
Speaker 1: So these four players all had a good taste of

771
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:10,600
Speaker 1: how the offense was progressing throughout the offseason and had

772
00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:14,720
Speaker 1: comparative analysis based on what they've seen before. For instance,

773
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:20,239
Speaker 1: the longest tenured Texan position player is Davis Mills. How

774
00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:24,040
Speaker 1: about that, now, Fairbaron Kaemi Fairbairn is the longest tenured player,

775
00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:28,440
Speaker 1: but Mills drafted in twenty twenty one the longest tenured

776
00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:32,080
Speaker 1: position player. Not not my much, because that night Nico

777
00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:35,560
Speaker 1: Collins was drafted. The next day Brevin Jordan was drafted.

778
00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:37,560
Speaker 1: But you get my drift here. Mills kind of the

779
00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:40,360
Speaker 1: spokesman now for the team. Not really, I'm going a

780
00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:43,279
Speaker 1: little too far with that, but he's a guy's been

781
00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:45,600
Speaker 1: around here for a while, right. If you live through

782
00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:47,960
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one, you know that was a big struggle.

783
00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:51,160
Speaker 1: If you live through twenty twenty two, that was another

784
00:35:51,200 --> 00:35:53,880
Speaker 1: big struggle with a tie to open up the season.

785
00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:57,560
Speaker 1: Twenty twenty one was a much rougher season, more blowout losses.

786
00:35:57,719 --> 00:36:00,160
Speaker 1: Twenty twenty two a lot of close games, but that

787
00:36:00,560 --> 00:36:04,080
Speaker 1: really the kind you want, and twenty twenty three the

788
00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:05,719
Speaker 1: rest of the story the Demico Ryan's ever.

789
00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:07,040
Speaker 2: Anyway, let's get to Mills here.

790
00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:10,080
Speaker 1: How is the offense this year under Nick Kelly his

791
00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:15,520
Speaker 1: second years offensive coordinator? Mills in year six of his career,

792
00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:19,000
Speaker 1: how does the offense compared to this time last year?

793
00:36:19,239 --> 00:36:22,120
Speaker 5: I think this time of year right now, we're I mean,

794
00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:24,239
Speaker 5: I think light years ahead of where we were last year.

795
00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:27,319
Speaker 5: We're in a really good spot. It's always nice going

796
00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:29,200
Speaker 5: into year two of an offense instead of having to

797
00:36:29,239 --> 00:36:32,640
Speaker 5: fully install the entire thing for the first time. I've

798
00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:35,319
Speaker 5: been through that a couple of times here, but year

799
00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:38,600
Speaker 5: two of the offense, that's a big jump to build

800
00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:40,920
Speaker 5: off what we did well last year, but also adding

801
00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:45,080
Speaker 5: new things. And I think coach Kayley's done a great

802
00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:48,560
Speaker 5: job really taking inside of all of his players, especially

803
00:36:48,600 --> 00:36:50,480
Speaker 5: us in the QB room, really kind of building an

804
00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:54,279
Speaker 5: offense around us and around CJ to things that he

805
00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:56,480
Speaker 5: does really well and things he's done in the past

806
00:36:56,480 --> 00:37:00,279
Speaker 5: that he feels really comfortable doing so, I mean, really

807
00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:02,560
Speaker 5: an open book with how we've been installing plays up

808
00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:05,440
Speaker 5: to this point. And we obviously have the base installs

809
00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:07,640
Speaker 5: of what the foundation of this offense is, but then

810
00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:10,279
Speaker 5: there's things He's like, all right, what do you guys

811
00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:11,560
Speaker 5: want to put in to add to the end of

812
00:37:11,560 --> 00:37:13,839
Speaker 5: this install that we can run and rep and make

813
00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:17,040
Speaker 5: sure everyone's comfortable with, because once you get later in

814
00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:20,600
Speaker 5: the season, a lot of it really is just game

815
00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:23,600
Speaker 5: plan and making sure we have content concepts that are

816
00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:26,880
Speaker 5: built in to go against these certain defenses. And a

817
00:37:26,920 --> 00:37:29,000
Speaker 5: lot of times or from times in my past, when

818
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:31,560
Speaker 5: you're in OTAs, you're really running like the foundation plays.

819
00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:33,960
Speaker 5: But it seems like we're already kind of getting ahead

820
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:36,520
Speaker 5: to work some of those game plan related plays that

821
00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:38,959
Speaker 5: you might only get to run a handful of times

822
00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:42,160
Speaker 5: of season. But if we're already getting reps this early

823
00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:45,440
Speaker 5: in the spring, it's it's valuable because it's kind of

824
00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:48,160
Speaker 5: just everything starts loading into that memory brank in our

825
00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:51,520
Speaker 5: in our heads and we're able to pull back on

826
00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:54,279
Speaker 5: some of that training that we put in to make

827
00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:55,400
Speaker 5: it effective in the season.

828
00:37:55,520 --> 00:37:57,400
Speaker 3: What can you tell us about Jerry and how he's

829
00:37:57,520 --> 00:37:58,319
Speaker 3: impacted the room.

830
00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:01,600
Speaker 5: He's been great. Nothing about respect and good things to

831
00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:04,440
Speaker 5: say about him. Knows the offense extremely well, and he

832
00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:07,319
Speaker 5: does a great job coaching and kind of portraying his

833
00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:10,680
Speaker 5: knowledge to us as players. So I'm excited to be

834
00:38:10,680 --> 00:38:12,319
Speaker 5: in the room with him. He was there last year,

835
00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:14,319
Speaker 5: but he's taken on a bigger role this year. It's

836
00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:14,920
Speaker 5: gonna be fun.

837
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:15,279
Speaker 3: All Right.

838
00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:17,840
Speaker 1: There's Davis Mills from where we talked to him prior

839
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:21,399
Speaker 1: to Mini camp on the offense this year versus last year.

840
00:38:21,719 --> 00:38:24,239
Speaker 1: Let's get to the same kind of question here, but

841
00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:27,920
Speaker 1: with Cad Stover, who's entering year three of his career. Man,

842
00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:29,560
Speaker 1: he's looking for a big one here. He's looking for

843
00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:31,959
Speaker 1: a big year. Got hurt early last year, came back.

844
00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:34,239
Speaker 1: Wasn't a kind of season he wanted. Let's see what

845
00:38:34,280 --> 00:38:36,920
Speaker 1: he does in twenty twenty six. Anyway, Stover at the

846
00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:40,040
Speaker 1: same point prior to Many Camp offense this year versus

847
00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:40,680
Speaker 1: last year.

848
00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:43,480
Speaker 6: It's been good obviously, just getting to know like I'm

849
00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:46,320
Speaker 6: getting those James obviously smart mine really good in the

850
00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:50,120
Speaker 6: blocking game wise, like fundamental wise, really really really educated

851
00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:52,480
Speaker 6: with that. We've taken a lot of good steps as

852
00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:55,200
Speaker 6: far as an offense, We're in a much higher developed

853
00:38:55,239 --> 00:38:58,920
Speaker 6: area than we were last year, as far as fundamentally wise,

854
00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:01,919
Speaker 6: as far as understanding of concepts and what we want

855
00:39:02,040 --> 00:39:04,839
Speaker 6: looking to get done. So, I mean, I think we're

856
00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:07,799
Speaker 6: in eight. We're light years above where we were last

857
00:39:07,880 --> 00:39:08,960
Speaker 6: year at this time, that's for sure.

858
00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:12,000
Speaker 1: Kate Stover right there referenced James. That would be James Ferrence,

859
00:39:12,080 --> 00:39:14,960
Speaker 1: tight Ends coach and ference was with the Texans briefly

860
00:39:15,040 --> 00:39:18,520
Speaker 1: during the Bill O'Brien era as an offensive lineman, son

861
00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:22,080
Speaker 1: of Kirk Farrence, the head coach of the Iowa Hawk.

862
00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:24,239
Speaker 1: Guys who's been there for a thousand years. I like

863
00:39:24,280 --> 00:39:26,560
Speaker 1: guys who stay. I like guys who stay for a

864
00:39:26,600 --> 00:39:29,880
Speaker 1: long time in their spot in college. I know, college

865
00:39:29,960 --> 00:39:33,040
Speaker 1: is just crazy, not what it was. It's completely off

866
00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:35,359
Speaker 1: the rails right now. We don't have to get into

867
00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:39,000
Speaker 1: that at this particular moment, do we anyway? Stover on

868
00:39:39,320 --> 00:39:41,640
Speaker 1: year one versus year two offense. Now, let's get to

869
00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:45,080
Speaker 1: Jake Andrews center. Can't wait to see how that competition goes.

870
00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:47,200
Speaker 1: Camp opens tomorrow. It's underway.

871
00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:47,520
Speaker 4: Now.

872
00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:51,040
Speaker 1: You want to see the offensive lineman in pads? YadA, YadA, YadA.

873
00:39:51,120 --> 00:39:55,640
Speaker 1: But there's no stopping every human who's observing camp from

874
00:39:55,680 --> 00:39:59,400
Speaker 1: evaluating what they're seeing from snap number one going to

875
00:39:59,440 --> 00:40:01,560
Speaker 1: be the classic overreaction under reaction.

876
00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:05,520
Speaker 2: Is it one or the other? We'll see, we'll discuss.

877
00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:07,480
Speaker 1: We got nothing else to do until they play a

878
00:40:07,480 --> 00:40:10,320
Speaker 1: game August thirteenth, except listen to Texans Radio every morning

879
00:40:10,320 --> 00:40:12,560
Speaker 1: eight to ten live from training camp and the sports

880
00:40:12,640 --> 00:40:15,480
Speaker 1: Radio six to ten shows until the station converts to

881
00:40:15,560 --> 00:40:17,160
Speaker 1: ninety five seven the fan. You say, how I worked

882
00:40:17,200 --> 00:40:19,160
Speaker 1: in all the promo stuff on the runway to the

883
00:40:19,239 --> 00:40:21,719
Speaker 1: Jake Andrews cut. And this is a question right before

884
00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:26,600
Speaker 1: mini camp about the offensive line personality, the gelling of

885
00:40:26,640 --> 00:40:29,719
Speaker 1: the different types of characters in the room. How's it

886
00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:32,319
Speaker 1: working at developing this swar mentality? And then you get

887
00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:34,920
Speaker 1: to year one versus a year two offensive progress.

888
00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:38,480
Speaker 7: It's of the utmost importance. I mean, if I know

889
00:40:38,560 --> 00:40:40,400
Speaker 7: a guy's watch name and his kid's name, and I

890
00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:43,520
Speaker 7: know why he does it, you know, it makes it

891
00:40:43,520 --> 00:40:44,600
Speaker 7: so much easier to go out there and be able

892
00:40:44,640 --> 00:40:47,560
Speaker 7: to play for him, and likewise he plays for me too,

893
00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:50,160
Speaker 7: and so just being able to get to know guys

894
00:40:50,160 --> 00:40:53,799
Speaker 7: on a deeper level than just football has always been

895
00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:57,480
Speaker 7: really important for me personally. Like I said, you can

896
00:40:57,520 --> 00:40:59,719
Speaker 7: start to build that relationship and that trust together, and

897
00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:02,400
Speaker 7: I trust you and you trust me, it's bound to

898
00:41:02,440 --> 00:41:03,759
Speaker 7: go a little bit more smooth out there.

899
00:41:03,960 --> 00:41:06,279
Speaker 2: Where's the offense this year versus last year?

900
00:41:06,400 --> 00:41:09,719
Speaker 7: Jake a big step ahead. I mean at this point

901
00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:12,640
Speaker 7: last year we had probably less than half of what

902
00:41:12,680 --> 00:41:13,359
Speaker 7: we have in now.

903
00:41:13,480 --> 00:41:13,840
Speaker 2: Wow.

904
00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:16,680
Speaker 7: So it's been really fun to kind of see the

905
00:41:16,680 --> 00:41:19,760
Speaker 7: growth that you know, Kaylee and Pop and Jerry, Everybody's

906
00:41:19,760 --> 00:41:22,120
Speaker 7: been able to kind of kind of lead us through.

907
00:41:23,320 --> 00:41:24,879
Speaker 7: You know, when you have a guy like CJ back

908
00:41:24,920 --> 00:41:27,279
Speaker 7: there in Davis and all these guys that have, you know,

909
00:41:27,440 --> 00:41:29,640
Speaker 7: yet another year under their belt in the same systems,

910
00:41:29,800 --> 00:41:32,319
Speaker 7: there's always going to be improvements. And you're light years

911
00:41:32,320 --> 00:41:33,319
Speaker 7: ahead in the year two.

912
00:41:33,600 --> 00:41:36,480
Speaker 1: That's Jake Andrews and light years ahead sounds like a

913
00:41:36,520 --> 00:41:38,480
Speaker 1: theme to me. It sounds like the guys have all

914
00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:41,200
Speaker 1: discussed this and decided they're light years ahead of last year.

915
00:41:41,640 --> 00:41:43,520
Speaker 1: Light years is a long time. Look, I'm a big

916
00:41:43,600 --> 00:41:48,000
Speaker 1: sci fi fan. Light years is a long time and

917
00:41:48,120 --> 00:41:51,799
Speaker 1: a long distance. So it's great progress. That sounds like

918
00:41:51,880 --> 00:41:55,040
Speaker 1: quantum leap stuff to me. I can't wait. If they're

919
00:41:55,040 --> 00:41:58,080
Speaker 1: a quantum leap better on offense than last year, sign

920
00:41:58,160 --> 00:41:59,400
Speaker 1: me up for that every time.

921
00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:01,320
Speaker 2: Just give me some good improvement.

922
00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:03,959
Speaker 1: You know, the offense last year fourteenth in the league

923
00:42:03,960 --> 00:42:07,040
Speaker 1: in passing. Nobody's throwing a parade for fourteenth in the

924
00:42:07,080 --> 00:42:09,360
Speaker 1: league in passing. But the way people talk, it's like

925
00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:12,319
Speaker 1: they were bottom three. Now they were bottom third of

926
00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:15,600
Speaker 1: the league in running the football, and that's not going

927
00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:18,240
Speaker 1: to get it done. They were eighteenth in offense overall.

928
00:42:18,440 --> 00:42:20,279
Speaker 1: Not gonna get it done. And that's why you made

929
00:42:20,320 --> 00:42:22,359
Speaker 1: all the improvements. We talked about it in segment one.

930
00:42:22,440 --> 00:42:25,600
Speaker 1: We're all gonna watch starting tomorrow camp gets underway. Let's

931
00:42:25,600 --> 00:42:29,320
Speaker 1: get to one final cut here, British Brooks, same question,

932
00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:33,240
Speaker 1: same topic, offense this year versus last year. Through OTA's

933
00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:35,840
Speaker 1: heading into mini camp and as we embark on training

934
00:42:35,880 --> 00:42:36,520
Speaker 1: camp tomorrow.

935
00:42:36,600 --> 00:42:37,360
Speaker 3: One hundred percent.

936
00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:40,000
Speaker 4: I mean we came out basically just saying like we're

937
00:42:40,040 --> 00:42:42,360
Speaker 4: gonna we're gonna go right into it. We're gonna install,

938
00:42:42,440 --> 00:42:44,600
Speaker 4: we're gonna get to the you know, the knee gritty

939
00:42:44,680 --> 00:42:47,080
Speaker 4: like not not just the basics, even though we do

940
00:42:47,160 --> 00:42:48,759
Speaker 4: you know, hone in on the basics all the time,

941
00:42:48,800 --> 00:42:51,920
Speaker 4: but now it's like we need to be progressing a

942
00:42:51,920 --> 00:42:53,719
Speaker 4: lot faster than than we did last year. And it's

943
00:42:53,719 --> 00:42:55,680
Speaker 4: like you can definitely see that with like just being

944
00:42:55,680 --> 00:42:57,359
Speaker 4: in the offense for a second year.

945
00:42:57,480 --> 00:43:01,480
Speaker 1: Now there's British Brooks on the offense improvement year one

946
00:43:01,520 --> 00:43:02,680
Speaker 1: to year two under Nick Caley.

947
00:43:02,719 --> 00:43:04,880
Speaker 2: Okay, that's gonna do it for those cuts.

948
00:43:04,920 --> 00:43:08,640
Speaker 1: That was the theme the offensive improvement and camp against tomorrow.

949
00:43:08,640 --> 00:43:09,080
Speaker 2: Can't wait.

950
00:43:09,120 --> 00:43:12,360
Speaker 1: By the way, British going into year three man time

951
00:43:12,640 --> 00:43:17,759
Speaker 1: Freaking flies running back competition. We mentioned Pittsenberger from Yale

952
00:43:17,840 --> 00:43:19,839
Speaker 1: in the opening segment, but I can't wait to see

953
00:43:19,880 --> 00:43:22,600
Speaker 1: Jamar Jordan out there. Of course Montgomery, but we expect

954
00:43:22,640 --> 00:43:24,160
Speaker 1: big things from him. I don't want to see too

955
00:43:24,239 --> 00:43:27,040
Speaker 1: much from him, actually see a little bit, see a

956
00:43:27,080 --> 00:43:30,200
Speaker 1: little bit. Put him in bubble wrap. Woo, he marks

957
00:43:30,200 --> 00:43:32,480
Speaker 1: two bubble wrap. I don't want to see too much

958
00:43:32,480 --> 00:43:34,160
Speaker 1: of these guys. I want to see them gel with

959
00:43:34,200 --> 00:43:36,960
Speaker 1: the offense, yes, but I don't want to expose them

960
00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:40,680
Speaker 1: too much. You got huge games to open this season

961
00:43:41,120 --> 00:43:45,120
Speaker 1: at Reliant Stadium, and in fact, something is happening this

962
00:43:45,200 --> 00:43:48,160
Speaker 1: year with the schedule that only happened once before the

963
00:43:48,400 --> 00:43:49,560
Speaker 1: history of the franchise.

964
00:43:49,680 --> 00:43:50,200
Speaker 2: What is it?

965
00:43:50,520 --> 00:43:54,560
Speaker 1: I'll tell you next on Texans All Access Final Lap

966
00:43:54,600 --> 00:43:57,400
Speaker 1: around the Track here tonight before we get to training camp.

Speaker 1: station flips to FM. You'll still get it on six

Speaker 1: to ten, but it'll be called ninety five to seventh

973
00:44:11,960 --> 00:44:14,000
Speaker 1: the fan And why wouldn't you go to the FM

974
00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:14,800
Speaker 1: at that point?

975
00:44:14,880 --> 00:44:15,480
Speaker 2: Yes? Please?

976
00:44:15,960 --> 00:44:19,279
Speaker 1: It'll happen the day of our first Texans preseason game

977
00:44:19,280 --> 00:44:20,160
Speaker 1: against the Chargers.

978
00:44:20,160 --> 00:44:20,640
Speaker 2: Can't wait?

979
00:44:20,760 --> 00:44:23,600
Speaker 1: Okay, So tomorrow morning at six p and p and

980
00:44:23,640 --> 00:44:25,759
Speaker 1: then eight am, Johnny and I for a couple of

981
00:44:25,800 --> 00:44:27,960
Speaker 1: hours as the team takes the field, and then in

982
00:44:28,040 --> 00:44:31,000
Speaker 1: the loop has you for the rest of practice. They'll

983
00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:35,000
Speaker 1: probably get a player live. In fact, I'll virtually guarantee that. Okay,

984
00:44:35,360 --> 00:44:37,560
Speaker 1: I said something that's happening this year with the schedule,

985
00:44:37,600 --> 00:44:40,480
Speaker 1: now that it's camp time. A lot of my casual

986
00:44:40,520 --> 00:44:43,239
Speaker 1: sports friends and you're thinking, Mark, you have friends, Yeah,

987
00:44:43,280 --> 00:44:45,360
Speaker 1: I do. I have friends and some friends follow sports

988
00:44:45,400 --> 00:44:46,040
Speaker 1: more than others.

989
00:44:46,160 --> 00:44:46,720
Speaker 2: It's weird.

990
00:44:46,840 --> 00:44:49,799
Speaker 1: I know that people wouldn't follow sports as deeply as

991
00:44:49,800 --> 00:44:51,680
Speaker 1: you and I do, but it does happen. So people

992
00:44:51,719 --> 00:44:53,799
Speaker 1: are asking me, Hey, who do they play this year?

993
00:44:53,840 --> 00:44:57,600
Speaker 1: Are you serious? Okay, the schedule's loaded. Cowboys Week four

994
00:44:57,640 --> 00:44:59,719
Speaker 1: at home. Everyone's looking forward to that one. But I'm

995
00:44:59,760 --> 00:45:02,759
Speaker 1: looking forward to Week one Buffalo, Are you kidding me?

996
00:45:02,840 --> 00:45:05,320
Speaker 1: This is a war? And then week two the Bengals.

997
00:45:05,520 --> 00:45:08,080
Speaker 1: So back to back games at home to start the schedule.

998
00:45:08,480 --> 00:45:10,319
Speaker 1: Did you know that this is only the second time

999
00:45:10,360 --> 00:45:13,880
Speaker 1: in the history of the franchise that this has occurred.

1000
00:45:14,120 --> 00:45:17,880
Speaker 1: The only other time was twenty sixteen. And the Texans

1001
00:45:17,920 --> 00:45:21,840
Speaker 1: did well the first two games. They beat the Bears

1002
00:45:21,880 --> 00:45:24,880
Speaker 1: who opened up the season, and that was brock Osweiler.

1003
00:45:25,320 --> 00:45:28,800
Speaker 1: And then in week two it was a bloodbath against

1004
00:45:28,920 --> 00:45:31,360
Speaker 1: Kansas City and they won the game Travis Kelce played.

1005
00:45:31,400 --> 00:45:34,120
Speaker 1: There was no Mahomes yet. I mean Mahomes existed, but

1006
00:45:34,239 --> 00:45:36,680
Speaker 1: not in professional form. That was Alex Smith.

1007
00:45:36,960 --> 00:45:37,799
Speaker 2: But that was a war.

1008
00:45:38,200 --> 00:45:39,640
Speaker 1: And then they had to go on the road short

1009
00:45:39,640 --> 00:45:41,640
Speaker 1: week at New England. You know what happened there? They

1010
00:45:41,640 --> 00:45:43,680
Speaker 1: got shut out. That really hurt a lot but anyway,

1011
00:45:43,719 --> 00:45:45,360
Speaker 1: they did open to and Zho and they did go

1012
00:45:45,440 --> 00:45:48,600
Speaker 1: nine and seven and win the division that year. Other

1013
00:45:48,640 --> 00:45:51,840
Speaker 1: items from the schedule that are interesting because here we are,

1014
00:45:51,960 --> 00:45:57,319
Speaker 1: we're embarking on football season. Thirteen of the fourteen opponents

1015
00:45:57,719 --> 00:46:01,920
Speaker 1: this year were on the schedule for the inaugural season

1016
00:46:02,120 --> 00:46:04,360
Speaker 1: of two thousand and two. I think that's cool because

1017
00:46:04,360 --> 00:46:08,080
Speaker 1: here we are celebrating the twenty fifth year franchise history

1018
00:46:08,320 --> 00:46:12,640
Speaker 1: and we've got thirteen of those fourteen teams on the schedule.

1019
00:46:12,640 --> 00:46:14,839
Speaker 1: You're thinking, well, don't they play seventeen games? But you're

1020
00:46:14,880 --> 00:46:18,200
Speaker 1: thinking or not thinking about duplicate games that the Jags, Titans,

1021
00:46:18,200 --> 00:46:18,640
Speaker 1: and Colts.

1022
00:46:18,640 --> 00:46:19,520
Speaker 2: Don't. Forget about that.

1023
00:46:20,239 --> 00:46:24,040
Speaker 1: But I think that is super interesting that they play

1024
00:46:24,480 --> 00:46:28,560
Speaker 1: all those squads from the inaugural season, especially Dallas Week four.

1025
00:46:28,600 --> 00:46:31,080
Speaker 1: That's going to be a huge celebration of the twenty

1026
00:46:31,080 --> 00:46:35,000
Speaker 1: fifth year. That game and other news and notes. Just

1027
00:46:35,080 --> 00:46:36,280
Speaker 1: know that camp starts tomorrow.

1028
00:46:36,320 --> 00:46:36,640
Speaker 2: Okay.

1029
00:46:36,840 --> 00:46:40,080
Speaker 1: As I said from the get go, eight open practices

1030
00:46:40,520 --> 00:46:43,200
Speaker 1: practices one, two, and three are not open to the public,

1031
00:46:43,280 --> 00:46:46,239
Speaker 1: but they are live on the radio. Baby, we will

1032
00:46:46,280 --> 00:46:49,400
Speaker 1: have them for you, and we are super fired up

1033
00:46:49,440 --> 00:46:51,880
Speaker 1: to be with you live from the Houston Methodist Training

1034
00:46:51,920 --> 00:46:54,880
Speaker 1: Center tomorrow morning, six am, P and P. Eight o'clock,
