2
00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:04,680
Speaker 2: We're on the cusp. Why we gotta add some pieces

Speaker 1: The type of.

8
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:14,480

Speaker 2: number from last week because I had that memorized so

32
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 2: we could plug it while the draft was going on.

33
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 2: And let's get into this because it's Thursday night death

Speaker 2: past and the future. General. Good evening one week later.

38
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 2: What's your reaction to what happened last weekend?

39
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 5: That everybody I've talked to, run into heard from in

40
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:57,000
Speaker 5: one form or another is excited about the Texans Draft.

41
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 5: I attended a Boy Scouts of American fundraiser yesterday morning

42
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 5: at the Posto Cotel, and I had so many people

43
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 5: come up to me and tell me, Oh, they're gonna

44
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 5: win eight or nine games. I said, Well, the McNair's

45
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 5: and Devigo Ryans and Nick Casario hope you're right. And

46
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 5: we were talking today over at the stadium before we

47
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 5: interviewed Jimmy Warred and Shaq Mason to new editions about

48
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 5: wins and stuff, and the fact is they do get

49
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 5: to play their division, which could have Anthony Richardson's starting

50
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:39,119
Speaker 5: and with his inexperience, and then Will Levis probably I'm

51
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 5: guessing Levis if Ryan Tannehill doesn't get hurt, Levis will

52
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 5: probably play like the last eight or nine games because

53
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 5: they'll want to get on with it. And so you

54
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 5: got a chance to win some games in the division,

55
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 5: and the Jaguars are not, you know, infallible, and then

56
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:59,919
Speaker 5: they play the NFC wes, so they got a chance.

57
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:00,400
Speaker 2: You know.

58
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:03,079
Speaker 5: I think if they double the win total, gets six,

59
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,520
Speaker 5: that would be good. That's what Gary Kubiak got in

60
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 5: his first season. Anything beyond that would be gravy. And

61
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:15,800
Speaker 5: I love the way so many prognosticators have the Cardinals

62
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 5: with the first two picks and next year's mock drafts

63
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:21,919
Speaker 5: because they think the Texans are going to be that bad.

64
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 5: I'd be willing to bet with anybody the Texans don't

65
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 5: have the first or second pick next year.

66
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 4: General we obviously haven't talked to you since the draft,

67
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:33,959
Speaker 4: and I think the big talking point around the country,

68
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 4: whether people have gotten it right, wrong or whatever, is

69
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 4: the trade, the trade up two number three, whether you

70
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 4: want to say it was for Will Anderson or whether

71
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 4: it was a package deal or whatever the case might be.

72
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 4: As it's going down, as you're following everything that's going on,

73
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 4: what were you thinking, And now that you look back

74
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 4: at Thursday last Thursday making the move to get to

75
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 4: two and three, what are your overall thoughts about what

76
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 4: Nick Cassaria the Texans did to get CJ.

77
00:03:58,160 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 2: Shroud and Will Anderson.

78
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 5: They got a franchise quarterback that some people have it

79
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 5: rated ahead of Bryce Young. I heard Lewis Riddick of ESPN,

80
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 5: I read Dane Brugler from The Athletic, their draft experreg

81
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 5: Phil Simms on Mad Dog Radio. All of them had

82
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 5: Stroud rated as the top quarterback. So I thought that

83
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:25,480
Speaker 5: was a great move. And then to trade back up,

84
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 5: which was the boldest move in Texans history and one

85
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 5: of the boldest moves in Houston football history at draft time,

86
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,840
Speaker 5: I thought was just like all the fans in media,

87
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:41,159
Speaker 5: everybody approved. And as far as the trade, this is

88
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:44,360
Speaker 5: the way I look at it. Number one, it's ridiculous.

89
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 5: We of course we're going to grade it and everything.

90
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:49,600
Speaker 5: But will Anderson could go to the Hall of Famer.

91
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 5: It could be like Mario Williams and Jadeveon Clowney first

92
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 5: overall picks, you know, not a Hall of Famer, and

93
00:04:56,600 --> 00:05:02,279
Speaker 5: then to get Andrews and which was their second biggest need.

94
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 5: And this is something that bothers me. Not local people

95
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 5: who've talked about it because they understand it, but national

96
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 5: people who talk about it have not pointed out because

97
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:18,600
Speaker 5: it doesn't fit their Virginia genda. They move up to

98
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:23,359
Speaker 5: get the third pick, to get the best pass rusher,

99
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 5: which saves a huge need. Their second biggest need to

100
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 5: a quarterback. And some had him as the best prospect

101
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 5: in the draft, not just defense, but the best prospect.

102
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 3: So they get him and they get a four this year.

103
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:42,719
Speaker 3: I don't even know what he did with the four.

104
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 5: He probably traded it because he made eight trades Casario did.

105
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 5: But then next year, when people say, well, they gave

106
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:52,360
Speaker 5: up to two this year and a one in a three,

107
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:55,480
Speaker 5: what they leave out is the Texans still have picks

108
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:58,359
Speaker 5: in the first, second, and third rounds. It's not like

109
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 5: when Bill O'Brien made isdriant deals and they didn't have

110
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 5: picks in the first and second round, and they didn't

111
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 5: have picking the first round the year before.

112
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 3: So people leave.

113
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:10,279
Speaker 5: That out because I don't think they understand it or

114
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 5: haven't looked at it closely enough. And so what the

115
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 5: fans need now is for the Browns to be bad again.

116
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:21,159
Speaker 5: And they play in a tough division, they playing bad weather,

117
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:25,599
Speaker 5: and so it'll be fun watching the Browns next year

118
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:28,919
Speaker 5: knowing that the Texans fade in the first round is

119
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 5: in their hands.

120
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:31,159
Speaker 3: I saw Dame.

121
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 5: Brugler and his mock draft had the Texans pick in twentieth.

122
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:37,279
Speaker 5: I read one today, I can't remember who it was,

123
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 5: had them picking seventeenth. And so what they need is

124
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 5: for the Browns to be bad. That's probably not going

125
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 5: to happen, but they do play tough schedule and that

126
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 5: of course would improve that draft pick.

127
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:54,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, the way I tell people the story, they had

128
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:57,119
Speaker 2: a lot of draft capital and they spent a bunch

129
00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 2: of it or a chunk of it in order to

130
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 2: get a player that they love, the player that was

131
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:03,840
Speaker 2: a top three player in this draft. They got them.

132
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 2: They have them. Let's see what they do with them. Now,

133
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 2: General C J. Stroud, how do you think they work

134
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 2: him in? Where do they start him out? How long

135
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 2: is it going to take for him to get up

136
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 2: to speed. I know this is all speculation, but this

137
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:18,680
Speaker 2: is speculation Radio six ' ten.

138
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 5: So you tell me in the off season program, you

139
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 5: know Nick Casario, he has his fingers crossed or his

140
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 5: toes crossed under the table talking about you know, they

141
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 5: got to earn, earn their way and all that. If

142
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:36,560
Speaker 5: he's not starting the first game, something's wrong. That means

143
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 5: case Keenum or Davis Mills. I can't figure out what

144
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 5: they're gonna do with Mells.

145
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 3: Do you want Mills? This is your third quarterback.

146
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 5: Maybe you have control of him for another two years,

147
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 5: so you know, maybe you trade him next year.

148
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 2: But I think.

149
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 5: Stradd will start the first game. We know Will Anderson

150
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 5: we'll start first game. I think Tank Dale when they

151
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 5: need to slot receiver, Tank I was going to be

152
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:03,800
Speaker 5: in the slot. He was one of the most exciting

153
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:06,800
Speaker 5: players in college football. I did a column on him

154
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:09,559
Speaker 5: at the Combat about how much he'd like to stay

155
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 5: in Houston be drafted by the Texans because Houston and

156
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 5: the University of Houston had been so good to him

157
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 5: after his rough start to his college football career. And

158
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 5: the pick I liked the most after the first after

159
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 5: the first two in Tankdal was Henry Totoa.

160
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 3: The middle linebacker for Alabama.

161
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 5: I watched a lot of Alabama games thinking they had

162
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 5: a chance to get Bryce Young, and I was always

163
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:38,080
Speaker 5: curious about Bill O'Brien working with Pryce Young, and every

164
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:41,079
Speaker 5: time they were on defense, out of here Henry Toatoa's

165
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:43,839
Speaker 5: name called, and I thought at the time, boy, I

166
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:46,680
Speaker 5: hope I would Texans don't get him, and I had

167
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 5: to type his names all the time, And now I

168
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 5: think it was a great pick. They doubled up on

169
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:57,440
Speaker 5: need positions with two receivers, including Xavier Hutchinson, who led

170
00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:00,520
Speaker 5: the big twelve and catches, and I watched him just

171
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 5: torch Baylor. I saw him torch the long orange last season,

172
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:07,720
Speaker 5: even though he dropped from the touchdown passed. I have

173
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 5: no idea other than he ran a four or five.

174
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 5: Three didn't work out well. Somebody put out a three

175
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 5: minute highlight flim of him making catches all over the

176
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:22,600
Speaker 5: field in traffic, leaping double covered. I can't wait to

177
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 5: see Xavier Hudginson what he's gonna do, so doubling up

178
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 5: at kneed position, wide receiver in center.

179
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:32,840
Speaker 3: I think that was so smart general.

180
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:34,360
Speaker 2: Obviously CJ.

181
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 4: Stroud drafted here, Anthony Richardson drafted with the Colts. Will

182
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:41,600
Speaker 4: Levis was a second round pick with the Tennessee Titans,

183
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:44,440
Speaker 4: and that we knew obviously what Trevor Lawrence is with

184
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 4: the Jacksonville Jaguars.

185
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 2: But he's only going into his third year in the league.

186
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,680
Speaker 4: So it's the potential of having three rookies and a

187
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:53,839
Speaker 4: third year guy in the AFC South. What were your

188
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:56,800
Speaker 4: thoughts of just watching it all unfold for the Colts

189
00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:59,560
Speaker 4: picking Richardson after the Texas took Stroud and then levit's

190
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:01,560
Speaker 4: falling off wait to the Titans in the second round.

191
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 5: Well, I had sat on a lot of my talk shows.

192
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 5: I'd love to see. I thought Levis school in the

193
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:10,680
Speaker 5: first round. Those three guys go to SU South teams

194
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 5: and then we watch them grow and see who does

195
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 5: the best job of coaching them, see who does the

196
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:21,199
Speaker 5: best job of putting talent around them. And because all

197
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:24,520
Speaker 5: three teams down right now, and it's gonna be fun

198
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:27,960
Speaker 5: and interesting to watch those guys. I had no idea

199
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 5: Levis would go in the second round, and I saw

200
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 5: a great video to day which showed the Colt's war run.

201
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:39,439
Speaker 5: And when they said Arizona has made the trade, Chris

202
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:43,559
Speaker 5: Ballad the GM held his breath, worried that some team

203
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:46,440
Speaker 5: like the Titans was going to trade up and get

204
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 5: Anthony Richardson. But when they said traded it to the Dixons,

205
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 5: then Ballart started clapping because he knew the Texas weren't

206
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:57,959
Speaker 5: going to take another quarterback, so they had Anthony Richardson.

207
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 5: Richardson's the least experience. He's probably gonna run a whole

208
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:06,199
Speaker 5: lot his rookie year, and Shane Steikeen's a good coach

209
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 5: for him. Helped develop Jamien Hurtz call plays the last

210
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:12,800
Speaker 5: two years. I know Texans liked him a lot from

211
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:18,920
Speaker 5: interviewing him, and I would think because of Richardson's inexperience

212
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 5: that Stratta has a chance to be better right off

213
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:26,400
Speaker 5: the bat. I'm working on a column now for sports

214
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 5: Radio six ten dot com about how many news starters

215
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:33,320
Speaker 5: they will have and could have, and there's a big

216
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 5: changing of the guard because the moves Nick SiO has

217
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:39,679
Speaker 5: made this offseason for the.

218
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:42,679
Speaker 3: Kind of players the Miko Ryans once.

219
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 2: General, what do you think the vibe is inside the

220
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:50,520
Speaker 2: building for the Tennessee Titans right now? It feels odd

221
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 2: from the outside looking in. Is everyone getting along well

222
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 2: and working and playing well together? What are your thoughts

223
00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:59,440
Speaker 2: as you observe the Titans.

224
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 5: Well, they tried to trade it up to get c

225
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 5: James Stroud and the Texans kept him from doing that.

226
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:09,360
Speaker 5: They tried to trade into the bottom of the first

227
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:13,120
Speaker 5: round to get Will Levis, and everybody knew that's what

228
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:16,080
Speaker 5: they were trying to do, and the prices to us,

229
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 5: So they traded up to get him in the top

230
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 5: of the second round, and they got Peters Karroski, who

231
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:25,640
Speaker 5: is the most He is the most established of the

232
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 5: offensive line, and they have to rebuild their offensive line,

233
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:33,320
Speaker 5: so they fired one of their guys today. You know

234
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:37,280
Speaker 5: new GM is going to make changes. So Rabel and

235
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:41,079
Speaker 5: ran Cawthorn every base. They did a great job together.

236
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:45,560
Speaker 5: And so I haven't heard anything about problems in the

237
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 5: building up there.

238
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 4: General, the Baltimore Ravens and Lamar Jackson.

239
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:53,160
Speaker 2: Oh, by the way, what did I tell you? My

240
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:55,680
Speaker 2: bold prediction was that he would sign before the draft

241
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 2: that they would be announced the day of the draft.

242
00:12:57,480 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 2: And what happened.

243
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 4: It was announced the day of the draft, right, I

244
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:04,480
Speaker 4: was on that one general Aaron Rodgers goes to the Jets.

245
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:08,080
Speaker 4: Baltimore Ravens end up with Lamar Jackson, two teams the

246
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:10,760
Speaker 4: Texans are going to have to face this year. He

247
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:14,079
Speaker 4: talks about Lamar going back, then adding OBJ, then adding

248
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:16,559
Speaker 4: Zay Flowers. I know you've been steadfast that he was

249
00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:19,040
Speaker 4: going to go back to Baltimore in of itself, but

250
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 4: they don't make a deal for DeAndre Hopkins day. Instead,

251
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:23,840
Speaker 4: drafts day, Flowers go to OBJ. He thoks about how

252
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 4: good Baltimore is gonna be with Lamar, And you're buying

253
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 4: Jets to the super Bowl in the AFC after what

254
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 4: all these teams have done with all the quarterbacks in

255
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:32,600
Speaker 4: the AFC.

256
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 5: How long has it been since Iron Rodgers been to

257
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:37,319
Speaker 5: a Super Bowl? Two thy and ten. He's got a

258
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:40,559
Speaker 5: losing record in the playoffs. He's lost like two or

259
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 5: three consecutive NFC championship games. Why did they think that

260
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:47,800
Speaker 5: all of a sudden at thirty nine, he's gonna take

261
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:51,240
Speaker 5: them to the super Bowl. He'll make them competitive. They'll

262
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:55,559
Speaker 5: probably get in the playoffs. He'll be really determined. I mean,

263
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:59,559
Speaker 5: he's cut his hair, he's dressing nice again because he's

264
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 5: not off his rocker with some of his comments to

265
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 5: Pat McAfee. He said he courtside at the next games

266
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:10,560
Speaker 5: and he's he's doing a great job of pr Now,

267
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:12,920
Speaker 5: of course he's not going to attend the all off

268
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 5: season program, which he should, and they've gotten his receivers

269
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:23,120
Speaker 5: he wanted. And so I think that everybody's going to

270
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 5: pick the Bills to win the division and they ended

271
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 5: up to could have two wildcard teams.

272
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:29,520
Speaker 3: Patriots should finish.

273
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:31,920
Speaker 5: Last in that division, and it's going to be great

274
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:34,920
Speaker 5: to watch the Jets, but I'm certainly not picking them

275
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 5: go to the super Bowl because they got Aaron Rodgers. And

276
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:41,160
Speaker 5: as far as Lamar Jackson, we knew he was going

277
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:44,040
Speaker 5: to go back there. He wasn't going to retire. Nobody

278
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 5: was signing the offer street, nobody was giving him the

279
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 5: guaranteed money he wanted. And they said that once he

280
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:56,600
Speaker 5: saw Jalen Hurts not get the kind of guaranteed money

281
00:14:56,920 --> 00:15:01,680
Speaker 5: that Watch got, he became more realist. And I saw

282
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 5: her Da Costa on Pro Football Talk, and he said

283
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:11,960
Speaker 5: this was the parameters of a deal they had last

284
00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 5: year in training camp, but they didn't have time to

285
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 5: get it done because Jackson said, if it wasn't done

286
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:21,760
Speaker 5: for the store of the season, nothing else. So if

287
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 5: they'd gone a little longer, they might have had it

288
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 5: done back then.

289
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:28,840
Speaker 2: John McLean joining US General. Back to the Texans situation

290
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:31,760
Speaker 2: with the offensive line. You mentioned Shaq Mason, he met

291
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 2: with the media today. Let's discuss this a little bit,

292
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 2: Greg little signs what you think and that might just

293
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 2: be a depth thing, but what do you think of

294
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 2: this line as they try to solve the issue at

295
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:45,400
Speaker 2: CENTA they still have Jimmy Morrissey, of course, Scott Questenberry,

296
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:48,520
Speaker 2: and of course they drafted Juice and the player from

297
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:50,760
Speaker 2: Notre Dame, so they have a lot of options there.

298
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 2: How do you think it all shakes out eventually about

299
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:54,160
Speaker 2: the time we get to opening day.

300
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:57,880
Speaker 5: I never paid any attention to Shaq Mason's bio other

301
00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:00,320
Speaker 5: than when it came to football. I didn't know his

302
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 5: name was Shaquille O Lajwan Mason, and he's he was

303
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 5: He loved basketball first, but he's too short to play basketball.

304
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:11,240
Speaker 5: He's had a really good career which he earned multiple

305
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:15,320
Speaker 5: super Bowl rings. But he's gonna start a right guard.

306
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:19,160
Speaker 5: And Texans like juice drugs more than others to trade

307
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:23,240
Speaker 5: into the second round. And he's played guard, and I'm

308
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:27,000
Speaker 5: guessing he'll get the inside tracked the center job, and

309
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:30,400
Speaker 5: then they'll have Jared Patterson if he's on the roster,

310
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 5: not the practice squad, then they'll have him as an

311
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 5: extra guard slash center. A guy like Greg Little, who

312
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:40,760
Speaker 5: was the second round pick in twenty nineteen. He's with

313
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:44,840
Speaker 5: his third team. You know, hopefully they don't have any injury,

314
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:49,320
Speaker 5: so he's not gonna be not gonna keep four tackles

315
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 5: on game days. So they've got depth. They've got some

316
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:57,680
Speaker 5: talent in the offensive line. I'm Shaq Mason said he's

317
00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:02,480
Speaker 5: talking to Kenyon Green all lot and Kenyan Green, of course,

318
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:05,119
Speaker 5: has to bounce back. First thing he needed to do

319
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:09,840
Speaker 5: is get stronger so he didn't get overpowered. This system

320
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:13,639
Speaker 5: of an offensive line, we've seen it with Gary Kubiak

321
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:17,760
Speaker 5: all those years. Kyle Sannyan runs Gary's system, Gary Wrin

322
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:21,440
Speaker 5: Mike Shaneyan's system, and Bobby Slog's going to run it too.

323
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:24,840
Speaker 5: Those linemen got to be quick. They got to be

324
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:28,600
Speaker 5: able to get out on the second level. Shack Mason said,

325
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:31,520
Speaker 5: he's so fired up now. He said, I've always thought

326
00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:35,400
Speaker 5: that I was a guard that could move and make

327
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:38,679
Speaker 5: those kind of blocks instead of just powering off and

328
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:41,720
Speaker 5: hitting people and trying to give him a bloody nose.

329
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:44,879
Speaker 5: But he was pumped about this, and that's one reason,

330
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:48,480
Speaker 5: you know he came here. So I think the offensive

331
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:51,600
Speaker 5: line is going to be better coached. People said, oh, well,

332
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:55,440
Speaker 5: Strasser of the coastline wasn't any good, And I said,

333
00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:57,359
Speaker 5: do you think it had anything to do with the

334
00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:01,080
Speaker 5: league's bleeding rusher who scored in eighteen judge your Names

335
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:04,320
Speaker 5: of the Year before being out most last season, Mike

336
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:07,119
Speaker 5: that Evans something to do with it and other injuries

337
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:07,720
Speaker 5: up front.

338
00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:09,200
Speaker 3: It was two years.

339
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:11,600
Speaker 5: Ago when everybody thought the Collins had the best line

340
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:12,240
Speaker 5: in the league.

341
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:14,960
Speaker 4: General you mentioned Xavier Hutchinson Tank Dell a little while

342
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:18,200
Speaker 4: ago the wide receiver position for the Texans. Are you worried?

343
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:20,600
Speaker 4: Do you like the makeup of it? What do you

344
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:24,160
Speaker 4: expect out of these receivers this year? It's a completely

345
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 4: different group. John Metchi hopefully will be cleared from the

346
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:30,439
Speaker 4: leukemia doctors.

347
00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:31,600
Speaker 2: Hopefully that's gonna happen.

348
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:34,360
Speaker 4: What do you make of the wide receiver crew as

349
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:37,880
Speaker 4: it sits right now? Adding Tank Dell and Xavier Hutchinson

350
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:38,160
Speaker 4: to the.

351
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:41,360
Speaker 5: Mix, they still only have a big time go to receiver.

352
00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 5: I think the rookie quarterback is going to rely on

353
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:50,560
Speaker 5: guys like veterans like Robert Woods and Dalton Schultz, because

354
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:53,920
Speaker 5: those guys will be where they're supposed to be when

355
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 5: they're supposed to be there. But that'll become next year,

356
00:18:58,320 --> 00:18:59,720
Speaker 5: probably become.

357
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:01,800
Speaker 3: Their biggest need.

358
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:06,520
Speaker 5: That may be in the right tackle at Titus Howard Leaves.

359
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:11,720
Speaker 5: But the best quarterback's best friend, the rookie quarterbacks best

360
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:15,520
Speaker 5: friends a running game and with Damian Piaris, Devin Singletary

361
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:18,320
Speaker 5: and who's the guy they signed a running back from

362
00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:19,920
Speaker 5: Arizona State that.

363
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:20,959
Speaker 3: At a thousand dollars.

364
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:25,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, that to me, that was pretty A lot of

365
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:29,160
Speaker 5: people were impressed with that signing bringing him any here.

366
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:32,240
Speaker 5: So I think they'll run the heck of the ball

367
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:36,399
Speaker 5: to take the pressure off Cig's drift. And but they also,

368
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:41,240
Speaker 5: as you guys know, this team has been absolutely pathetic

369
00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:45,000
Speaker 5: stopping and run. Now for three years, they've got to

370
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:48,360
Speaker 5: stop the run better. They've got some players to help

371
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:52,440
Speaker 5: do that inside, because you can't let teams just walk

372
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:55,000
Speaker 5: all over you and go up and down the field

373
00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:59,800
Speaker 5: like they have. And and like Jimmy Ward talked about

374
00:19:59,840 --> 00:20:03,480
Speaker 5: the when we asked him about will Anderson Junior, he says, Hey,

375
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:06,119
Speaker 5: it starts up front, and that's the way it was

376
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:08,680
Speaker 5: with Demiko in the forty nine ers, and that's the

377
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:11,920
Speaker 5: way it'll be here. Could be next year they'll look

378
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:16,119
Speaker 5: for a defensive tackle with that Browns pig. So I

379
00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:18,960
Speaker 5: think they're in a really good place. They really only

380
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:23,320
Speaker 5: had two off seasons to get better, and that's Caserio

381
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:27,280
Speaker 5: having all his pigs. Although he made eight trades, I

382
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:30,760
Speaker 5: think that's a franchise record. He made twenty percent of

383
00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:35,440
Speaker 5: the NFL record trades. And I think everybody looks at

384
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:38,240
Speaker 5: what they've got and they like it. I can't wait

385
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:42,439
Speaker 5: to see Derek Stingley playing man coverage, getting in the

386
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:45,720
Speaker 5: guy's face and sticking with them all over the field

387
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:48,680
Speaker 5: instead of asking him to play a lot of sold Well.

388
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:52,960
Speaker 2: With everything they've thrown at the front, seven draft free

389
00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:57,600
Speaker 2: agent acquisitions, i'd be shocked if they're not much better

390
00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:00,639
Speaker 2: stopping the run and getting after the quarterback. But we

391
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:03,680
Speaker 2: shall see general a couple of other things here beyond

392
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:07,359
Speaker 2: the blue lot reports? Are is this real that the

393
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:11,399
Speaker 2: Coyotes are in play too? Possibly? I see possibly moved

394
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 2: to Houston in the NHL. Yeah, you see these support.

395
00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:16,240
Speaker 2: I don't know if it was started out as an

396
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:19,440
Speaker 2: April Fools thing, but they're in trouble anyway as a franchise. General,

397
00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:21,040
Speaker 2: do you see that kind of thing happening here?

398
00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:22,960
Speaker 3: Can you?

399
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:21,480
Speaker 2: No?

400
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 5: Gentleman for Tita wants an NFL team, not an NHL team,

401
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:28,359
Speaker 5: and it ain't having it.

402
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:29,640
Speaker 3: It's his building too.

403
00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:32,840
Speaker 5: Are we going to build a separate building like everybody

404
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:37,119
Speaker 5: demands now? It drives me crazy to see Dallas in

405
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:41,160
Speaker 5: Phoenix and Denver they have all four of the major sports,

406
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:44,679
Speaker 5: but we don't. Me as an old hockey writer and

407
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:48,879
Speaker 5: a hockey fans when watching NHL playoffs, I wish Tilman

408
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:52,480
Speaker 5: for Tita would get one, but nobody else has been

409
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 5: interested in stepping up. But I think pretty clear Tilman

410
00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:58,920
Speaker 5: wants an NFL team, and I don't blame it.

411
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:02,880
Speaker 2: Covered the Arrows. Was Gordy Howe on the team? Was that?

412
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:05,560
Speaker 3: Yeah? They outdrew the Rockets.

413
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:08,800
Speaker 5: Rockets had to play home some OL games in Waco

414
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:12,520
Speaker 5: where I went to see them, and then San Antonio

415
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:15,440
Speaker 5: and the Arrows used to sell out o SAM Houston

416
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:19,080
Speaker 5: College SAM. Then they built the summit which is Lakewood Church.

417
00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:22,440
Speaker 5: That first year they sold that out. Then the team

418
00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:27,000
Speaker 5: not on the eyes started to unravel off the ice financially,

419
00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:31,760
Speaker 5: and eventually they folded them and the players were all absorbed.

420
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:35,600
Speaker 5: But one thing I know when people think, well, the

421
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:38,840
Speaker 5: hockey team wouldn't win here, I wouldn't go here. We

422
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:44,120
Speaker 5: know winning teams are successful here. And if we look

423
00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:48,400
Speaker 5: at the Kraken and look at the Knights, Las Vegas

424
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:51,479
Speaker 5: and Seattle have had winners from the get go. They

425
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:55,119
Speaker 5: must do a great job of stocking those franchises.

426
00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:56,440
Speaker 3: They're competitive.

427
00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:59,520
Speaker 5: And I'll guarantee you if we had an NHL team

428
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 5: was winning like them, we support it too.

429
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:06,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, winning for sure. The question is when you own

430
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:08,800
Speaker 2: a sports franchise, how do you hang in there? If

431
00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:11,719
Speaker 2: you're below five hundred? Can you hang in there for

432
00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:13,840
Speaker 2: a year or two at that? Because the Kraken and

433
00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:16,880
Speaker 2: the Golden Knights were great. Crack out I love that name.

434
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:20,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, they were like I liked those two. By the way,

435
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:22,080
Speaker 3: I had a column.

436
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:28,199
Speaker 5: Of Gallery sports dot Com today and about callahanman there

437
00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:33,639
Speaker 5: and what they've been through since the second quarter of

438
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:37,879
Speaker 5: the Kansas City playoff game that the Texans choked and

439
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:41,920
Speaker 5: from that moment all then DeAndre Hopkins trade and then

440
00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:45,480
Speaker 5: all the Jackie used to be stuffed, all the controversy

441
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:49,680
Speaker 5: that they've been through, Sean Watson firing coaches back to back,

442
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:54,320
Speaker 5: and where the franchise is now, where everybody is cheering

443
00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:58,040
Speaker 5: the Texans, and that they turned the corner.

444
00:23:58,720 --> 00:23:59,920
Speaker 3: And I'm really.

445
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:03,880
Speaker 5: Happy them at Janis mcmare and Casario because he think

446
00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:06,080
Speaker 5: about it, when Nick got hired, he had no clue

447
00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:09,120
Speaker 5: what he was getting into. If he'd have known that,

448
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:11,640
Speaker 5: he probably would have closed his office door in New

449
00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:15,480
Speaker 5: England said oh no thanks. And what he's done for

450
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:18,920
Speaker 5: this franchise, I think he's been tremendous. Now to me

451
00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:21,160
Speaker 5: go Ryan and the coaches take it to the deal.

452
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:24,560
Speaker 5: And I'm pumped for the Rookie Minni Camp next week

453
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:27,160
Speaker 5: and I have said that since twenty seventeen.

454
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:30,840
Speaker 2: That's awesome. Yeah, that's great. Good point. Rookie Minni Camp

455
00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:32,280
Speaker 2: in a week and we're gonna be ready for that

456
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:35,880
Speaker 2: and talk about it on this very program one week

457
00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 2: from what tomorrow night, But we'll be talking about it.

458
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:39,800
Speaker 3: All week Whala's schedule comes out.

459
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:42,000
Speaker 2: Schedule comes out one week from tonight, we'll have a

461
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:50,119
Speaker 2: during the six o'clock hour. Lots of little leaks happened,

462
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:53,320
Speaker 2: not from us, but from other people, but we'll be

463
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:56,080
Speaker 2: funneling them right to you folks, all right. Other than

464
00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:58,560
Speaker 2: that column on the McNair, is anything else to promote

465
00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:00,240
Speaker 2: on your various platforms, General.

466
00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:04,280
Speaker 5: Well, I have my I have a column on Sports

467
00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:09,680
Speaker 5: Radio six ten dot com about the relationship between Casario

470
00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:20,480

492
00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:39,080
Speaker 2: Of course, the draft, and it's Saturday. Johnny went into

493
00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:42,560
Speaker 2: a coma briefly after writing three articles following the draft,

494
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:44,640
Speaker 2: but you snapped out of it in time for Monday show,

495
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:46,920
Speaker 2: so that was good. I went into a mini coma

496
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:50,119
Speaker 2: as well, coached flag football doubleheader on Sunday, which was cool.

497
00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:53,120
Speaker 2: And the NFL is heavy into flag as we all know. Yes,

498
00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:56,280
Speaker 2: that is really cool. Yeah, that's really cool. So it's uh,

499
00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:58,480
Speaker 2: we had a nice time. I really enjoy it. I

500
00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:00,840
Speaker 2: really enjoy coaching these kids. All right, let's display who's

501
00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:07,800
Speaker 2: better post draft version, and away we go. Okay, So, Chris,

502
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:10,280
Speaker 2: if you want to fire up some soft music, Yeah,

503
00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:15,200
Speaker 2: like soft NFL John Facida, Yeah, not like shot ah no, no,

504
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:17,760
Speaker 2: that would be the wrong, wrong kind of soft. This

505
00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:19,880
Speaker 2: is good music. Can you imagine if you're on a date,

506
00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:22,320
Speaker 2: you know, like back in the day, you come back

507
00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:25,280
Speaker 2: to your apartment and you want to put on some

508
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:28,879
Speaker 2: soft music, and then you fire up NFL films and

509
00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:32,600
Speaker 2: she'll say, I am out of here. You talk to Page.

510
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:34,520
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm sure I did that at some point.

511
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:40,199
Speaker 2: Do you prefer Do you prefer the sixties music or

512
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:43,399
Speaker 2: more like the eighties the seventies apparently because the NFL

513
00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:45,760
Speaker 2: films music and I don't have examples right now, so

514
00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:48,520
Speaker 2: it's going to be bad audio. But in the seventies

515
00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:52,280
Speaker 2: they went to that. Yeah, yeah, you know, the wa

516
00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:55,440
Speaker 2: wa pedals and the guitars were big, you know, Isaac Hayes,

517
00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:59,120
Speaker 2: and they went into that. Anyway, Johnny, the Texans take

518
00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:03,320
Speaker 2: on the AFC North. Correct. The Steelers finished last year

519
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:05,480
Speaker 2: with a flourish to go nine to eight, with Kenny

520
00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:08,640
Speaker 2: Pickett finding the end zone late in the regular season.

521
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:11,280
Speaker 2: The Cleveland or were they eight to nine? Do you

522
00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:13,880
Speaker 2: have the record right? It was better than the Browns

523
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:16,000
Speaker 2: whatever it was, Yes, it was nine and eight. I

524
00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:19,360
Speaker 2: was right. The Browns were seven and ten. But here

525
00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:23,000
Speaker 2: they are Steelers coming into the year after their draft

526
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:25,880
Speaker 2: and free agent acquisitions. The Browns coming into the year.

527
00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:28,600
Speaker 2: We alstill have a lot of practicing to do. Who's

528
00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:33,080
Speaker 2: better Cleveland or Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh with a better record last

529
00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:35,800
Speaker 2: year with a rookie quarterback most of the way.

530
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:40,240
Speaker 4: I feel like Pittsburgh's more dangerous. Like I would rather

531
00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:44,080
Speaker 4: play Cleveland because Cleveland to me even with you, yeah,

532
00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:46,960
Speaker 4: I know, I know, but we get both them at home,

533
00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:49,360
Speaker 4: so that's that's not a bad that's not.

534
00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:52,000
Speaker 2: A bad deal. I eight three to two, six six,

535
00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:55,320
Speaker 2: seven ninety field with Pittsburgh.

536
00:28:56,120 --> 00:29:00,520
Speaker 4: I just trust Pittsburgh more, which makes really want to

537
00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:04,440
Speaker 4: face them. But Cleveland did I thought, with not having

538
00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:06,120
Speaker 4: a bunch of draft picks, I felt like their draft

539
00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:09,480
Speaker 4: is was was decent to go along with Yeah, look

540
00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:10,880
Speaker 4: let's let's be honest.

541
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:13,080
Speaker 2: It it revolves around to Shawn.

542
00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:16,240
Speaker 4: DeShawn is off like he was last year in a

543
00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:18,640
Speaker 4: game that the Texans should have won, but special teams

544
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:20,560
Speaker 4: for the only time all year, broke down.

545
00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:22,360
Speaker 2: Defense broke down.

546
00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:26,240
Speaker 4: Actually defense was pretty good, the offense was was future

547
00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:27,800
Speaker 4: gave up the fumble. I mean, it was just a

548
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:30,360
Speaker 4: game that Texans should have won. I just feel like

549
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:33,520
Speaker 4: the Steelers, you kind of know what you're gonna get you.

550
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:36,920
Speaker 4: They drafted extremely well. They got Broderck Jones a trade

551
00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:38,720
Speaker 4: up to get him left tackle out of Georgia. They

552
00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:41,239
Speaker 4: got Joey Porter Junior top of the second round. Then

553
00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:43,400
Speaker 4: they got the big fellow, Darnia Washington. There have been

554
00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:45,320
Speaker 4: some concern about the medicals. I feel like they really

555
00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:49,480
Speaker 4: helped their team with the draft. I I really don't

556
00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:54,560
Speaker 4: want to face Pittsburgh versus facing the Browns, and I

557
00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:57,920
Speaker 4: guess now that we faced DeShawn once, like okay, it's

558
00:29:58,000 --> 00:29:59,280
Speaker 4: just not just another guy, all right.

559
00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:02,800
Speaker 2: As far as that part of it, the visits the

560
00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:05,479
Speaker 2: former quarterback coming in, Yeah, we've been through that and

561
00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:08,400
Speaker 2: that was his first game back. Yeah, he should play

562
00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:10,520
Speaker 2: better this year, you would think, but he might not.

563
00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:15,000
Speaker 2: There's no guarantee. He never really got better throughout six

564
00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:17,280
Speaker 2: games at the end of last year, right, I mean

565
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:22,160
Speaker 2: he had moments, but he wasn't himself knew him right exactly?

566
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:25,160
Speaker 2: Can he get back to that? Every time he would

567
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:27,200
Speaker 2: make a good throw, they would show a billion different

568
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:29,680
Speaker 2: angles of it and say, look, look at this throw.

569
00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:33,320
Speaker 2: But I really felt like they were willing. They the collective,

570
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:35,440
Speaker 2: they were willing it to happen. But you brought up

571
00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:37,920
Speaker 2: a great point, who would you rather play? My gut

572
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:40,560
Speaker 2: tells me I'd rather play Pittsburgh for some reason. Still,

573
00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:42,200
Speaker 2: I think a lot of it depends on how are

574
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:44,360
Speaker 2: they playing at that moment and who's healthy who's not.

575
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:48,120
Speaker 2: But off the hoof, as you would say, you're saying

576
00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:50,000
Speaker 2: you'd rather play the Browns. Here's why.

577
00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:54,480
Speaker 4: With the Steelers, you're facing an eight the entire time,

578
00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:57,120
Speaker 4: Like playing September playing December.

579
00:30:57,200 --> 00:30:59,760
Speaker 2: Steelers ere in eight. There's no like, that's what you're getting.

580
00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:00,880
Speaker 2: Give you a tough game.

581
00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:04,240
Speaker 4: The Browns in week one might be a four, yeah,

582
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:07,240
Speaker 4: but in week thirteen they might be.

583
00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:09,200
Speaker 2: Eight and a half.

584
00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:12,160
Speaker 4: Now the opposite, right, so they're yeah, they're kind of

585
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:14,959
Speaker 4: all over the place. Whereas I feel like the Steelers

586
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:15,960
Speaker 4: you're getting at buzz.

587
00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:17,800
Speaker 2: Nope, you're getting at eight no matter what.

588
00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:20,360
Speaker 4: I just feel like the Browns would be somewhere in

589
00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:24,240
Speaker 4: between that and I feel like we're gonna play the

590
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:25,479
Speaker 4: Browns right out to shoot.

591
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:27,840
Speaker 2: I don't have a problem with that. All right, that's

592
00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:29,840
Speaker 2: your prediction, Steelers. Are you on the record with that?

593
00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:30,120
Speaker 5: Now?

594
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:30,440
Speaker 2: Yeah?

595
00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:33,920
Speaker 4: Brown first game? I like the Carolina mondayn game. That

596
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:35,240
Speaker 4: would be kind of in Week two. That'd be kind

597
00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:35,520
Speaker 4: of nice.

598
00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:38,400
Speaker 2: I thought week two or week three. We'll be official

599
00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:41,680
Speaker 2: with our schedule predictions next week, but I'm starting to

600
00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:43,560
Speaker 2: think that might be a Thursday game. I don't know.

601
00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:46,080
Speaker 2: We'll talk about that next week, all right. Who's better?

602
00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:50,720
Speaker 2: Post draft? Texans opponents version NFC South. The Texans play

603
00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:53,000
Speaker 2: all the NFC South teams, as does everyone else in

604
00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:56,400
Speaker 2: the AFC South play in the NFC South. So you

605
00:31:56,520 --> 00:32:00,160
Speaker 2: had last year the Buccaneers not doing so hot, eight

606
00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:01,800
Speaker 2: and nine, but they made the playoffs with Tom Brady,

607
00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:04,240
Speaker 2: they won the division. Everybody else was seven and ten.

608
00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:08,320
Speaker 2: So who's better? Who's best? Who's the best team? Johnny?

609
00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:13,719
Speaker 2: In the NFC South, Bucks Panthers with Bryce Young Bucks

610
00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:16,600
Speaker 2: with Baker Mayfield, who they're raving about right now, Saints

611
00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:20,000
Speaker 2: with Derek Carr, or the Falcons with Desmond Ritter, And

612
00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:21,920
Speaker 2: we'll get to them again in a moment and another

613
00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:25,680
Speaker 2: who's better? But who's best in that division? I'm gonna

614
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:28,280
Speaker 2: gonna lamb here and say the Falcons. I think the

615
00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:33,040
Speaker 2: Falcons are the most talented just overall talent on the team.

616
00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:36,640
Speaker 2: I think they've really increased the talent, improved the talent

617
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:37,400
Speaker 2: on that team.

618
00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:41,080
Speaker 4: I would say the Saints. And that's what Dan Hans's

619
00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:44,640
Speaker 4: Dan hanss does power rankings. How about this. There's no

620
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:50,520
Speaker 4: NFC South team rated higher than eighteenth. The Saints are eighteenth,

621
00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:55,880
Speaker 4: Falcons twenty three, Panthers twenty five, and the Buccaneers are twenty.

622
00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:57,720
Speaker 2: Who would you though, who would you rate higher the

623
00:32:57,920 --> 00:32:59,600
Speaker 2: I know, I know, but but he's got the Saint

624
00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:01,200
Speaker 2: interesting and I think a lot of people would say

625
00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:08,520
Speaker 2: the Saints because of Derek Carr. Where's the AFC South Enhansas.

626
00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:14,080
Speaker 4: Colts twenty eight, Titans twenty four, Texans thirty one, Jaguars

627
00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:20,320
Speaker 4: eight okay, top eight teams. So there's an interesting aspect

628
00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:24,840
Speaker 4: of these power rankings. We play twelve games if my

629
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:30,280
Speaker 4: math is correct, two four, five, six, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve.

630
00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:35,760
Speaker 4: We play twelve games against. The Steelers are fifteen, So

631
00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:40,240
Speaker 4: essentially we play twelve games against what people perceive as

632
00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:44,600
Speaker 4: the lower half of the power rankings. Twelve games. Nice,

633
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:48,880
Speaker 4: I mean. And the tough part is they're.

634
00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 2: Looking at the Texans saying, hey, we play the right

635
00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:51,560
Speaker 2: right right.

636
00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:53,880
Speaker 4: No, But the other part of this is Bengals are three,

637
00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:57,080
Speaker 4: Ravens are seven, Jaguars are eight, Jets are nine.

638
00:33:57,280 --> 00:34:00,600
Speaker 2: Well, four of those five games are on the road. Yeah,

639
00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:03,080
Speaker 2: it's tough. That's that's gonna be tough. But you have

640
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:06,320
Speaker 2: nine games at home, eight on the road. Okay, look

641
00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:09,279
Speaker 2: we'll see. Yeah, absolutely, and they do choice but to

642
00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:12,520
Speaker 2: wait and see. Cardinals are thirty two, Bucks are twenty nine.

643
00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:15,439
Speaker 2: Both of them come here. Yeah, so see, that's nice.

644
00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:17,320
Speaker 2: It's not like this is the murderers roal schedule. We

645
00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:20,080
Speaker 2: talked about the quarterbacks last night, so they got better, though,

646
00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:20,799
Speaker 2: they got better.

647
00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:24,080
Speaker 4: The best quarterback in the NFC self might ultimately be

648
00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:26,040
Speaker 4: Bryce Young by the end of the season, but right

649
00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:26,880
Speaker 4: now it's Derek Carr.

650
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:28,000
Speaker 2: So you would think the Saints.

651
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:30,760
Speaker 4: I just think the Falcons are that much more talented

652
00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:33,200
Speaker 4: than everybody. And if Desmond Ritter can keep the train

653
00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:35,240
Speaker 4: on the tracks, they got Tyler l Jeer and Bejeon

654
00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:37,239
Speaker 4: Robinson run of the football that.

655
00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:38,800
Speaker 2: Could be tough to stop. All right, let's leave the

656
00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:42,680
Speaker 2: Jets out of it, because that's a non division opponent

657
00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:46,160
Speaker 2: and non opposite division opponent, you know what I mean.

658
00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:48,720
Speaker 2: That's one of those because Denver's coming in from the west.

659
00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:51,960
Speaker 2: Jets are your road team and the AFC side of things,

660
00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:55,040
Speaker 2: and you get that NFC NFC bonus visit because you

661
00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:59,280
Speaker 2: have nine home games. The NFC bonus visitor is the Cardinals,

662
00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:03,520
Speaker 2: who had four last year with a hurt Kyler Murray.

663
00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:08,040
Speaker 2: The Broncos are the AFC one out of the West, right,

664
00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:10,160
Speaker 2: and they're going to visit. So both these games are

665
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:13,360
Speaker 2: at home. Broncos had five wins, Cardinals had four. Who's

666
00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:17,600
Speaker 2: better the Broncos or the Cardinals. I'm gonna go with

667
00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:20,200
Speaker 2: Sean Payton on this one and say the Broncos. It's

668
00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:23,200
Speaker 2: interesting because you look at last year's performance Russell Wilson,

669
00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:25,040
Speaker 2: you don't know what you're gonna get, right, and with

670
00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:27,799
Speaker 2: a healthy Murray, you'd think he's good for at least

671
00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:30,719
Speaker 2: two more wins, maybe three. They might be better. But

672
00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:32,839
Speaker 2: I know these teams are different than they were last year,

673
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:34,600
Speaker 2: the Cardinals especially, they lost a lot.

674
00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:38,479
Speaker 4: Well, the Cardinals talent is not what it was, that's

675
00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:41,319
Speaker 4: for sure. So here's the other here's And I've been

676
00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:42,560
Speaker 4: thinking about this and it was funny because I was

677
00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:45,239
Speaker 4: driving today and I heard Landry talking about this, and

678
00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:47,800
Speaker 4: I think this is dead honest, it pertains to the Cardinals.

679
00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:49,399
Speaker 4: I think it's the least talented team in the league

680
00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:53,160
Speaker 4: right now. Oh so has Kyler Murray played his last

681
00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:55,120
Speaker 4: game for the Cardinals already?

682
00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:55,400
Speaker 3: Well?

683
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:59,520
Speaker 4: Here's why I say that, because if they're already heading

684
00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:03,759
Speaker 4: into the and it looks like they're going into the ditch.

685
00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:04,560
Speaker 2: Who they traded them to?

686
00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:05,600
Speaker 5: Oh?

687
00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:07,319
Speaker 2: I got a destination for you?

688
00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:08,319
Speaker 1: Well?

689
00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:09,200
Speaker 2: Where goat? Where?

690
00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:09,319
Speaker 3: All?

691
00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:12,240
Speaker 2: Right? It's my last Who's better we get tied into that? Okay?

692
00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:14,640
Speaker 2: Where would you send him? Because there was a report

693
00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:18,560
Speaker 2: that Ryan Tannehill was on his way to Atlanta, right, Budd,

694
00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:22,240
Speaker 2: he didn't go, But I guess the day is young, right,

695
00:36:21,719 --> 00:36:25,000
Speaker 2: the year is young still, and you could still make

696
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:29,040
Speaker 2: that trade. What's better Atlanta, whether without Tannehill or Atlanta,

697
00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:32,240
Speaker 2: whether without Kyler Murray. I think Atlanta with Kyler Murray

698
00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:33,920
Speaker 2: would be scary as you know what.

699
00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:37,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, man, you don't think Arthur Smith and Mike Rabel

700
00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:39,280
Speaker 4: could get that deal done at Harry and Izy's over lunch.

701
00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:42,440
Speaker 2: They should. We got stuffed done there lunch. We interrupted

702
00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:44,200
Speaker 2: them when we saw them, and they didn't get the

703
00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:46,200
Speaker 2: deal done. And that's too bad because we could have

704
00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:50,520
Speaker 2: had Tannehill out of Nashville and will Love is taking

705
00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:53,080
Speaker 2: over week one and they visit week one at NRG

706
00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:56,239
Speaker 2: Stadium and we have Levis versus Stroud and the Texans

707
00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:58,879
Speaker 2: just steamroll them and sign me up.

708
00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:02,160
Speaker 4: So as the potases a Cardinals, I just feel like,

709
00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:05,560
Speaker 4: if it's going south and he's the Kyler's not quite

710
00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:08,239
Speaker 4: ready to go, what do you gain by having him

711
00:37:08,239 --> 00:37:10,640
Speaker 4: come in and win four or five games? Good point,

712
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:13,360
Speaker 4: good point, But you have to look for if you

713
00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:14,720
Speaker 4: want to trade him, who's the partner?

714
00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:14,920
Speaker 1: Right?

715
00:37:15,719 --> 00:37:19,120
Speaker 2: I understand, I understand where's he going? And here's the thing.

716
00:37:19,160 --> 00:37:21,920
Speaker 4: You'd like to have a trade partner if you if

717
00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:24,160
Speaker 4: they end up with a number one pick, I mean

718
00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:26,520
Speaker 4: presumably Kayla Williams is his name that's gonna come to mind.

719
00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:30,440
Speaker 2: That other team that's gonna trade for him is gonna know. Man,

720
00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:31,560
Speaker 2: you're looking at Kayler Williams.

721
00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:34,439
Speaker 4: If you're calling me about Kyler Murray trade, you're gonna get.

722
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:36,640
Speaker 2: You're not gonna get pennies on a dollar.

723
00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:37,960
Speaker 4: But you're not gonna get a hundred percent of what

724
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:39,840
Speaker 4: you could possibly get for Kyler Murray because.

725
00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:41,120
Speaker 2: They got to take over the contract and all the

726
00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:44,400
Speaker 2: questions about Kyler Murray remain for whoever takes it over,

727
00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:45,640
Speaker 2: at least with the Cardinals.

728
00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:47,640
Speaker 4: And for the Cardinals, they got a bunch of draft

729
00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:51,440
Speaker 4: capital they can work with. So if they they trade

730
00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:55,439
Speaker 4: Kyler Murray for seventy five cents on a dollar, because

731
00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:57,640
Speaker 4: they're gonna get Kayla Williams, I don't think they're gonna

732
00:37:57,640 --> 00:38:00,799
Speaker 4: bat deny Kyler Murray goes to I mean, oh boy,

733
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:03,920
Speaker 4: and Kyler Murray would make some sense. He would drive

734
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:07,959
Speaker 4: Arthur Smith crazy crazy. But so that's why I asked,

735
00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:09,640
Speaker 4: is Kyler Murray played his last game in Arizona?

736
00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:13,200
Speaker 2: Give me another team. There aren't too many. It's not

737
00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:16,640
Speaker 2: Tennessee because they just drafted the level. No, Tennessee doesn't

738
00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:19,319
Speaker 2: Tennessee doesn't make much sense. And there's nobody in the

739
00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:20,799
Speaker 2: division not with a quarterback.

740
00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:23,640
Speaker 4: I'm gonna give you one, but I have I don't

741
00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:25,719
Speaker 4: see it at all. What if things go south with

742
00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:27,840
Speaker 4: Jordan Love, I don't I can't see Green.

743
00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:29,359
Speaker 2: Bay doing that at all. I don't see that either.

744
00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:32,920
Speaker 2: That doesn't seem like a like. But they have they

745
00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:35,840
Speaker 2: still have two good backs and that could be interesting.

746
00:38:35,880 --> 00:38:39,280
Speaker 2: All right, Let's get to this next udfas that means

747
00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:42,680
Speaker 2: undrafted free agents. There's an intriguing one or two in

748
00:38:42,719 --> 00:38:45,160
Speaker 2: the group, the reported group, because the Texans have not

749
00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:47,400
Speaker 2: announced the group. We'll get into that among other things

750
00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:49,760
Speaker 2: next here on Texans Radio.

751
00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:54,840
Speaker 1: More Texans Radio is on the way. We returned to

752
00:38:55,160 --> 00:38:56,680
Speaker 1: Texans All Access.

753
00:38:58,760 --> 00:39:02,520
Speaker 2: All right, So for six years ago today, I was

754
00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:06,760
Speaker 2: at forty seven. Johnny led Zeppelin played at the Pontiac

755
00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:13,040
Speaker 2: Silverdome Ooh yeah, and uh it was uh, let's see,

756
00:39:13,080 --> 00:39:17,600
Speaker 2: it must have been. It was obviously May fourth. I

757
00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:22,399
Speaker 2: saw them a month later at Madison Square Gow opening night.

758
00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:24,480
Speaker 2: I was thirteen years old.

759
00:39:24,840 --> 00:39:27,880
Speaker 4: Do you think the people in the Silver Dome were

760
00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:30,520
Speaker 4: got kicked out of their building? Well, we don't get

761
00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:32,600
Speaker 4: kicked out of the building. But we have so many

762
00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:35,279
Speaker 4: concerts here. We just had Taylor Swift. Now you got

763
00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:38,160
Speaker 4: Ed Shearing comany yeah, Ed she I mean setting up?

764
00:39:38,239 --> 00:39:40,000
Speaker 4: I mean dang so.

765
00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:44,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, it it was quite quite the event. Yeah.

766
00:39:44,080 --> 00:39:46,200
Speaker 4: I saw somebody. I saw somebody on Twitter. I don't

767
00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:49,760
Speaker 4: know what account. It came from Led Zeppelin's private plane

768
00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:50,839
Speaker 4: had a fireplace on it.

769
00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:55,000
Speaker 2: I was like, that's the coolest.

770
00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:57,280
Speaker 4: How do you Then I just thought, wait a second,

771
00:39:57,480 --> 00:39:59,040
Speaker 4: how do you put a fireplace?

772
00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:01,600
Speaker 2: It can't be how do you put a fireplace on

773
00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:03,400
Speaker 2: a plane. Well, you used to be able to smoke

774
00:40:03,440 --> 00:40:06,520
Speaker 2: in planes. I'm old enough to remember that. Oh you

775
00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:09,480
Speaker 2: know what I watched last night? Speaking of Uh, that's

00:40:20,280 --> 00:40:23,160

00:40:41,360 --> 00:40:44,359
Speaker 2: My dad was a pilot for TWA Captain seven forty seven,

787
00:40:44,440 --> 00:40:46,960
Speaker 2: flying out of Kennedy Airport going to Rome in Paris.

788
00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:48,640
Speaker 2: That was in the day. It was like catch me

789
00:40:48,680 --> 00:40:51,120
Speaker 2: if you can. That was a time to be a pilot.

790
00:40:51,239 --> 00:40:51,439
Speaker 1: Yes.

791
00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:54,439
Speaker 2: Anyway, we didn't come here to talk about that. As

792
00:40:54,440 --> 00:40:58,520
Speaker 2: we reel it back into football talk, udfa's undrafted free

793
00:40:58,520 --> 00:41:04,600
Speaker 2: agents reportedly, is it Xavian or Exavion Validay? I gotta

794
00:41:04,600 --> 00:41:06,840
Speaker 2: get the pronunciation from Yeah. Era's at a state of

795
00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:12,240
Speaker 2: running back. One season at ASU twelve hundred yards, sixteen tds,

796
00:41:12,239 --> 00:41:14,160
Speaker 2: twelve games. What do you think?

797
00:41:14,520 --> 00:41:19,319
Speaker 4: Slippery fast, very fun to watch. I thought he would

798
00:41:19,320 --> 00:41:21,960
Speaker 4: get drafted. I was convinced he get drafted in the

799
00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:25,400
Speaker 4: seventh round. But it's funny because you Sarazona State. I

800
00:41:25,640 --> 00:41:28,680
Speaker 4: remember seeing him in Wyoming and that's when I was like,

801
00:41:29,160 --> 00:41:31,279
Speaker 4: this cat's good. And then you you know, with the

802
00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:33,640
Speaker 4: transfer portal now in Nil, you just never know what

803
00:41:33,719 --> 00:41:34,560
Speaker 4: these guys end up.

804
00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:35,160
Speaker 2: Dayone.

805
00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:37,359
Speaker 4: Henley was that guy for Washington State. For me, like,

806
00:41:37,560 --> 00:41:39,759
Speaker 4: wait a second, Nevada had this guy at number eleven.

807
00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:42,640
Speaker 4: I'm watching Nevada and he's not there. I'm watching Washington State.

808
00:41:42,640 --> 00:41:44,640
Speaker 4: I'm like, I like that guy, and then they say, oh, yeah,

809
00:41:44,640 --> 00:41:47,320
Speaker 4: he played in Nevada. I'm like, oh, oh, okay. There's

810
00:41:47,480 --> 00:41:49,799
Speaker 4: so much movement. I actually was talking to Casey Keeler

811
00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:51,759
Speaker 4: today from Sam Houston. He just got him a great

812
00:41:51,840 --> 00:41:54,560
Speaker 4: quarterback for Saint Pias who'd been around Grant Canal.

813
00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:56,359
Speaker 2: It's just so much movement.

814
00:41:56,400 --> 00:41:59,280
Speaker 4: So anyways, point being, I watched him at Wyoming almost

815
00:41:59,320 --> 00:42:02,759
Speaker 4: where I watched him Matt Arizona State. That is, that's

816
00:42:02,800 --> 00:42:05,480
Speaker 4: a draft pick you got as an undrafted free agent.

817
00:42:05,640 --> 00:42:06,760
Speaker 2: It's called Garyan Foster.

818
00:42:06,840 --> 00:42:09,520
Speaker 4: Now, I don't know what I know for Arion When

819
00:42:09,560 --> 00:42:11,359
Speaker 4: the Texas they had a really high grade on him,

820
00:42:11,960 --> 00:42:15,000
Speaker 4: but there were concerns about his character and all that

821
00:42:15,040 --> 00:42:18,480
Speaker 4: kind of stuff, and the Texans dove in on drafted

822
00:42:18,480 --> 00:42:20,680
Speaker 4: free agent like, hey, let's do this. So we've seen

823
00:42:20,760 --> 00:42:22,600
Speaker 4: undrafted free agent running backs do some things.

824
00:42:22,760 --> 00:42:23,279
Speaker 2: I don't think.

825
00:42:23,239 --> 00:42:25,480
Speaker 4: Valade is as talent as Arion Foster was, and that's

826
00:42:25,680 --> 00:42:28,279
Speaker 4: the point. Kind of different runners, but still effective. Had

827
00:42:28,280 --> 00:42:30,560
Speaker 4: a really good East West Shrine game. So I was

828
00:42:30,600 --> 00:42:32,719
Speaker 4: surprised that didn't get drafted. So I was excited to text

829
00:42:32,760 --> 00:42:33,279
Speaker 4: and signed him.

830
00:42:33,320 --> 00:42:36,279
Speaker 2: You never know one sentence each because we got to

831
00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:39,799
Speaker 2: go Jared Wayne and Jesse Matthews two receivers, Wayne from

832
00:42:39,840 --> 00:42:41,959
Speaker 2: pitt and Matthews from San Diego State.

833
00:42:42,040 --> 00:42:45,920
Speaker 4: And not watched too much of Matthews, but Wayne very acrobatic,

834
00:42:46,600 --> 00:42:49,720
Speaker 4: great hands. I don't think he ran or tested extremely well.

835
00:42:50,640 --> 00:42:52,879
Speaker 4: But there was a Jared Wayne and a Jalen Wayne,

836
00:42:52,920 --> 00:42:55,040
Speaker 4: so I always had to kind of kind of but

837
00:42:55,040 --> 00:42:57,919
Speaker 4: they're almost the same guy, great hands, big guys throwing

838
00:42:57,960 --> 00:42:58,400
Speaker 4: the football.

839
00:42:58,480 --> 00:43:00,759
Speaker 2: Do something down the field. All right, that's gonna do

840
00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:03,280
Speaker 2: it for tonight's show. Just about wait one more comment.

841
00:43:03,360 --> 00:43:06,560
Speaker 2: Let's see they got Dylan death Ridge. Is that his name?

842
00:43:06,840 --> 00:43:12,280
Speaker 2: I think Ridge from Western Michigan offensive lineman. Tyler Beach

843
00:43:12,480 --> 00:43:14,040
Speaker 2: offensive lineman from.

844
00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:17,479
Speaker 4: With Big Beach is big, like a just a big man,

845
00:43:17,719 --> 00:43:19,440
Speaker 4: good man.

846
00:43:19,440 --> 00:43:21,320
Speaker 2: What about Greg Little who they got today? Depth?

847
00:43:21,800 --> 00:43:23,640
Speaker 4: I always thought he was gonna be a really good

848
00:43:23,640 --> 00:43:26,040
Speaker 4: football player. I had him with the early second round grade.

849
00:43:26,080 --> 00:43:27,440
Speaker 4: I think that's where he ended up going. I think

850
00:43:27,440 --> 00:43:29,239
Speaker 4: I had him in the first round grade back in

851
00:43:29,280 --> 00:43:31,440
Speaker 4: the day, but just hasn't come together. So you know what,

852
00:43:31,520 --> 00:43:34,000
Speaker 4: you take guys with some upside and he protected the

853
00:43:34,040 --> 00:43:35,840
Speaker 4: aforementioned Kyler Murray back in high school.

854
00:43:35,880 --> 00:43:38,160
Speaker 2: Okay, we'll see how it works out. All right, Tomorrow,

855
00:43:38,280 --> 00:43:41,040
Speaker 2: We've got James Palmer on and a bunch of other

856
00:43:41,160 --> 00:43:43,640
Speaker 2: good stuff for you to get you into the weekend.

857
