Speaker 2: to everybody inside the building. John Harrismart vandam here with you,

4
00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:15,320
Speaker 2: and we have had one long, exhausting day and yet

5
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:17,640
Speaker 2: one of the most fruitful and fun days we have

6
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:18,200
Speaker 2: had in a while.

7
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:20,400
Speaker 1: Mark, how you doing. I feel I'm doing great, Johnny.

8
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:22,400
Speaker 3: I feel like you know, we're on vapors a little

9
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:25,680
Speaker 3: bit at this point of the day because we interviewed.

10
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:28,720
Speaker 3: I haven't counted it. I think it's forty guys. It's

11
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:31,440
Speaker 3: thirty eight or forty players today. This is a record,

12
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:35,040
Speaker 3: and I know one right after the other media members listening.

13
00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:38,000
Speaker 1: This is not Media Day for everybody, you know.

14
00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:40,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think if I'm a media member, I hear

15
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:43,000
Speaker 3: there were media days or Media Day today, people.

16
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:46,360
Speaker 1: Are gonna say what what I wasn't invited? But it's internal.

17
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:49,320
Speaker 3: This is the day that the Texans take all the

18
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 3: videos of the guys on the video board, like come on, stand.

19
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 2: Up, good headshots for CBS, Yeah, network, all the networks.

20
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 3: So we tend to talk to a bunch of guys.

21
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,760
Speaker 3: It's like they're waiting to do other things. And many

22
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:05,959
Speaker 3: years ago we decided this would be good to interview

23
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 3: some players that should give them something to do while

24
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:10,760
Speaker 3: they're waiting to do that, and a lot of the

25
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 3: guys that maybe don't get the airtime. So you're gonna

26
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:17,319
Speaker 3: be hearing these interviews from now until training camp. Basically

27
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:20,760
Speaker 3: that we were able to get done today and we

28
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 3: did research. And the other thing it does, Johnny, is

29
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 3: it enables us to just spend time and meet some

30
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:28,039
Speaker 3: of these guys, especially some of the new players. You know,

31
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:31,680
Speaker 3: I met meeting Jake Andrews today center. Yeah, getting to

32
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 3: know him. That's just one example. Players like that. And

33
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 3: then some old friends, old faces, old faces, young faces,

34
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 3: but uh, people we've known a while here in the building.

35
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 3: Really great to visit with them and see what they're

36
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 3: up to. How about Tremont Smith Seeing Trey again? Oh

37
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 3: that was cool.

38
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 2: I was just so cool, Like he was so excited

39
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 2: to be back in here, you know, fully fought of Cassi.

40
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 2: We had a great time talking to Foley and Mario Edwards.

41
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 2: Mario Edwards, I mean the guys we talked to. Okay,

42
00:01:57,760 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 2: so there was one theme that stood out to me

43
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 2: mostly and one of the groups of players that we

44
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 2: talked to, I want to get your thought, okay, because

45
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 2: I feel like I heard something over and over again

46
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:14,640
Speaker 2: as we talked to the offensive line. Yeah, one theme.

47
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 2: Do you know what it is? Well, I thought competition.

48
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 2: Competition was definitely that was definitely part of and physical condition. Yeah,

49
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 2: there you go, ding ding, ding ding ding. I don't

50
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 2: have the ding, but give Mark a ding because that.

51
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 2: I don't know how many offensive line when we talked to today,

52
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 2: I mean ten, I mean, just off the top of

53
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:42,239
Speaker 2: my head, Jalen Thomas, Jarrett Patterson, those two, Jake Andrews,

54
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 2: I mean Jack Thomas, Ladarius Henderson, Darius Henderson, Lake and

55
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 2: Thomlinson was that was a fun one. Lake and Thomlinson

56
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:54,640
Speaker 2: was a fun one, I'm telling you. When we asked

57
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 2: kind of a common thread question kind of amongst those guys,

58
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:00,799
Speaker 2: just you know, I'll give us a thought on the

59
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 2: office line, almost every single guy was like, we're gonna

60
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 2: be in shape yep. And that stood out to me like, huh, okay,

61
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:13,359
Speaker 2: which you don't really think. You know, Oh, you know,

62
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 2: we're gonna be good at gap blocking. You know, we're

63
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 2: gonna be good down blocks, We're gonna be good in

64
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:19,679
Speaker 2: pass protection. You know, we're gonna be physical either hand,

65
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:22,520
Speaker 2: but no, it was we're gonna be in shape.

66
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 1: Yeah.

67
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:25,960
Speaker 3: Well, one of the conversations and you'll be hearing this

68
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 3: one soon enough with Zach Thomas produced this thought, and look,

69
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,080
Speaker 3: this is an obvious thing, but maybe it doesn't get

70
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 3: brought up enough. The old lineman, five guys out there

71
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 3: the whole time. The D line, it's hockey line to change, right,

72
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 3: they change bodies all the time. And I know that

73
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 3: one requires something different than the other because the old line,

74
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 3: it's the old they know where they're going. The D line,

75
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 3: they're not sure where the ball is going, which way

76
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 3: it's headed, and they're trying to wreck something. The old

77
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 3: Lion's trying to execute a play that was called. I

78
00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 3: know they execute calls on defense. But the point is

79
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 3: got to be in great shape to perform at the

80
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 3: highest level in this league. And not that they weren't

81
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 3: in great shape before, but they want to be in

82
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 3: the best shape possible than they were.

83
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 2: The fact that they almost to a man, all pointed

84
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 2: it out made me think that that was a focal

85
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 2: point amongst discussion with the offensive line going forward, like

86
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 2: you're gonna you're gonna be in the right shape, You're

87
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 2: gonna be both aerobic and anaerobic. You're gonna be in shape,

88
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 2: and you Zach put it. When I heard Zach say,

89
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 2: was like, well, yeah, that makes sense. You know you're

90
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:40,479
Speaker 2: going against waves of defensive linemen at a time, but

91
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:43,920
Speaker 2: you I just got the feeling that in talking with

92
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 2: these offensive linemen that the cardio the conditioning had to

93
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 2: be at a higher level, and I thought that was

94
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:57,279
Speaker 2: that was telling. I thought another couple of things, especially

95
00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 2: when we talked to Lake and Tomlinson. I say this

96
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,360
Speaker 2: to you a when we have new players that come

97
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:03,840
Speaker 2: through here and we get to interview him for the

98
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:06,800
Speaker 2: first time or whatever the case might be, I'll look

99
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 2: at you and go, oh, I don't get this one.

100
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 1: Most of the time, I say to you, I get it.

101
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:18,039
Speaker 2: Look, I get why they went out and got that guy.

102
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:20,800
Speaker 2: I get why they went out and resigned Trey Montsmith.

103
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:25,280
Speaker 2: I totally get why they signed Lake and Tomlinson.

104
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:26,159
Speaker 1: Yeah, totally.

105
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 2: You just listen to him speak, and you listen to

106
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 2: how he describes the way he goes about his business

107
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 2: and how he interacted with us, and I'm like, I

108
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 2: get it.

109
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:39,839
Speaker 1: This guy's been in the league ten years.

110
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 2: Like it makes total, complete and total sense that they

111
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:45,839
Speaker 2: would want to go on the offensive line that thinks

112
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 2: and talks and acts like he does.

113
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:52,040
Speaker 3: I think that it also speaks to this comparison. Sometimes

114
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:54,719
Speaker 3: in baseball you say, oh, that guy's a professional hitter.

115
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 1: He's a professional hitter.

116
00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 3: I felt like we're talking to a professional guard.

117
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 1: That's what Laken Tomlinson is. He knows what he's doing.

118
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:04,919
Speaker 3: You know you're going to get a certain level of

119
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,599
Speaker 3: performance out of him that you can rely on.

120
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:09,919
Speaker 1: And I believe that.

121
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:14,719
Speaker 3: Look, I cannot automatically say that he's the man that

122
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:16,600
Speaker 3: they're going to have in there for the next five

123
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 3: ten years. I can't say that necessarily, but you can

124
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 3: rely on him. You can go to battle with Lake

125
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:26,280
Speaker 3: and Tomlinson and feel good. Now, they also have other

126
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 3: players who could step in and beat them out. You

127
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:32,680
Speaker 3: never know, right, and I hate to word it like that,

128
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:37,040
Speaker 3: but you have opportunities here for young individuals to make

129
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:40,040
Speaker 3: some noise at those guard spots, at all spots in

130
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 3: the offensive line. And that's how they set this thing

131
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:44,719
Speaker 3: up with lots of competition. And when you look at

132
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 3: wide receiver you see that too. Really all position groups

133
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 3: they have talked about it. They want competition. Well, they're

134
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 3: living it. Let's get some competition and hear all these

135
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:56,920
Speaker 3: position groups. We want to get to another level. And

136
00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:59,159
Speaker 3: that's how you do it, because we talk to a

137
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:02,600
Speaker 3: bunch of a linemen today and you could write a story,

138
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:06,120
Speaker 3: a projected story on a number of different players rising

139
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 3: up to a level that we've never seen before from

140
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 3: their particular game and they reached that and they find

141
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 3: a way to get into the game that by the

142
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 3: way to get into the lineup.

143
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 2: I mean talking to Jared Patterson. I remember back when

144
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 2: you know Jared's six round pick. I don't know her

145
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 2: name yet. He's starting in Game one against the Baltimore Ravens,

146
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 2: and you'll hear that conversation and he talked about what

147
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 2: that was like, and he said, being drafted in six

148
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 2: round I almost did him a favor because he's like, Yo,

149
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 2: what expectations are on me?

150
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 1: Are the ones I set for myself.

151
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 2: But one other thing he said, and I think sometimes

152
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 2: this kind of gets lost in the wash a little bit.

153
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 2: I said, what what kind of do you have plan

154
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 2: going into the to the off season? And then what

155
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 2: are you excited about the offseason and getting ready for

156
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 2: training camp, and he said, well, this really is the

157
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 2: first time that I'm not rehabbing something.

158
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 1: That's huge and huge. I thought about that.

159
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 2: I was like, man, and he kind of rewound back.

160
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 2: Like the last four years, he's like his last couple

161
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 2: of years in Notre Name, he was dealing with something,

162
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 2: you know, in the training camp in twenty twenty three

163
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 2: he had tweaked his hamstring, and then in last year

164
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:11,400
Speaker 2: he was coming back from his writ you know, the

165
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 2: injury he had that ended his rookie season against Carolina.

166
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 2: So it's like, Man, instead of rehabbing, you get to

167
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 2: start stacking days and start putting together what it is

168
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 2: that you want to be as an offensive lineman. So

169
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 2: we got some great stuff on the offensive line. We

170
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 2: got great stuff and everybody, I'll tell you one of

171
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:33,080
Speaker 2: my favorite discussions because it was very it was very

172
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:37,560
Speaker 2: football ly and I know when a certain section of

173
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 2: our listeners here's this, They're gonna be like, no, no, no, no,

174
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:42,560
Speaker 2: no no. When you talk about Braxton Barrios, you have

175
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:45,960
Speaker 2: talked about Alex Earl. We talked to Braxton Barrios and

176
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 2: we did ask about Alex.

177
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 1: We felt like we had way and he understood. But

178
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 1: we talked football.

179
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:55,320
Speaker 2: He talked football the way, you know, just he describing

180
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 2: running routes and seeing coverages and what coverages he was

181
00:08:59,280 --> 00:08:59,680
Speaker 2: seeing and.

182
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 1: What that man I was, I was.

183
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 2: I had a blast talking to Braxton Barrios just because

184
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 2: we were talking you know, in depth ball, which I

185
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:10,600
Speaker 2: thought was really really fun. On top of you know,

186
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,120
Speaker 2: just you know where he's from and how he got

187
00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:14,840
Speaker 2: here and all that kind of stuff, but just talking

188
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:19,200
Speaker 2: ball about playing slot receiver, returning punts, those kind of things.

189
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:20,719
Speaker 2: I mean, it was it was really fun talking to

190
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:21,319
Speaker 2: him about that.

191
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:23,679
Speaker 3: We could have talked to him for forty five minutes

192
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:27,360
Speaker 3: about alex Earl and social media and stuff. We wanted

193
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:30,440
Speaker 3: to talk ball. This is our first meeting with him. Yeah,

194
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 3: didn't want it to be all about her, right. In

195
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:37,080
Speaker 3: doing research for today's interviews, I did peruse a few

196
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 3: alex Earl and Marios videos, right, And you know, in

197
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 3: doing this you're gonna see some Alex Earl, you know,

198
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:45,319
Speaker 3: doing stuff by herself videos.

199
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:48,079
Speaker 1: And I did want to ask.

200
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:52,199
Speaker 2: Him a lot of this, but I mean, I got

201
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 2: she's got like millions, yeah, I mean, she's millions of followers.

202
00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 2: Somebody told me, and I didn't check all the views

203
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 2: on each video, but the one that he's in do

204
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:03,320
Speaker 2: really well. They do a lot better than some of

205
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 2: the ones where she's going over different products that she

206
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 2: uses or clothing, clothing lines or whatever. So that says

207
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:12,559
Speaker 2: something about the chemistry they have and people want to

208
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 2: see them together.

209
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 1: But look, this is a football show.

210
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 3: I know we do lifestyle stuff, of course, but our

211
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:20,520
Speaker 3: first meeting with Braxton, we wanted to be football, but

212
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:23,600
Speaker 3: we did ask him some things about her and I

213
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:26,079
Speaker 3: just thought there were so many great conversations Johnny, and

214
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:28,840
Speaker 3: one thing that came up also, oh, by the way,

215
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 3: back to the old line for a moment. It's funny

216
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 3: with a lot of these competition situations that you have

217
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:37,920
Speaker 3: on the football team, when we're talking to Patterson, I'm like, oh,

218
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:40,160
Speaker 3: he's the starting center on this football team. We talked

219
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 3: to Jake Andrews, and I'm thinking he's the starting center

220
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:46,560
Speaker 3: of this football team because the command that Andrews has,

221
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 3: the smarts, the confidence, and I know it's not like

222
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:52,679
Speaker 3: you're talking to Dwight Stevenson over here, or you know,

223
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 3: you're not talking to a ten year veteran who's done it.

224
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:58,079
Speaker 3: But you feel like he could probably do the job.

225
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 3: But you know Patterson can do the job, and you've

226
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:04,440
Speaker 3: won big games with Jared Patterson, so why not him. Now,

227
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:06,360
Speaker 3: we didn't talk to Jews today. We didn't talk to

228
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 3: a number of people. We didn't talk to Cam Robertson.

229
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:08,800
Speaker 1: Now.

230
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 2: We had to light out the door at one point.

231
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:13,400
Speaker 2: And we like to spend at least five, six, seven

232
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:16,000
Speaker 2: minutes at least with these guys, and we want to

233
00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:18,360
Speaker 2: keep it under ten because again there's a line and

234
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 2: somebody's got all of them. We could spend more time

235
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:22,200
Speaker 2: with some of them.

236
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 3: Were thinking you could spend three hours with this guy,

237
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:26,840
Speaker 3: Yakub Johnson from Germany.

238
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:30,960
Speaker 2: Yakab Johnson was fantastic, fantastic. We just we didn't even

239
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:34,679
Speaker 2: scratch the surface in talking with the Yakam Johnson and

240
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:40,199
Speaker 2: it was it was great, it was great, It was phenomenal.

241
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 2: And just how did he get to the NFL? Yep,

242
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 2: it's really fascinating wild how he.

243
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 1: Got to the NFL.

244
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 2: I'll tell you this though, I'll say this, I've told

245
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:54,480
Speaker 2: him this to his face.

246
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:56,559
Speaker 1: I've told anybody that I.

247
00:11:56,720 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 2: That I've talked to over the years, one of my

248
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 2: five favorite Texans that have ever walked into this building

249
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 2: is Daria Gumbwale. Yeah, I just unlike he's I love

250
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 2: that guy.

251
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:16,080
Speaker 1: I love him.

252
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:20,520
Speaker 2: He's good on the mic, He's very thoughtful with his answers.

253
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:24,760
Speaker 2: He obviously plays football very well. You pointed out early

254
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:29,079
Speaker 2: in the interview about how many clutch plays he's made

255
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 2: the last couple of years.

256
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:32,400
Speaker 3: And I didn't even go over the field goal against

257
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 3: the Bucks. I was just talking about last year, last year,

258
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 3: and then I'm sure that Danny Barrett, if he were here,

259
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 3: he would tell you, well, look at these past pro

260
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:46,200
Speaker 3: plays where a would be sacker was about to derail

261
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 3: the entire operation, but Dari picked him up right and

262
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 3: maybe not getting the credit, but that's just the way

263
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 3: football is. It's eleven on eleven. A lot of guys

264
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:56,200
Speaker 3: have to make plays for them to be successful, plays

265
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:59,280
Speaker 3: within the play, and he does all that too. And

266
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:01,560
Speaker 3: as you talked to and I wrote about this on

267
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 3: Houston Texans dot com, it's gonna be tough. It's gonna

268
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 3: be tough for a Woody Marks to replaced Daria good Balwally.

269
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:09,760
Speaker 3: If that's in his plans, it's gonna be really difficult.

270
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 3: He is a seasoned pro, knows what he's doing. Year

271
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:17,600
Speaker 3: nine for him or something like that. Year nine, yeah, amazing,

272
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:20,760
Speaker 3: and started here in seventeen. Don't be surprised if we're

273
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:23,199
Speaker 3: not talking to him next year year ten. One of

274
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:26,440
Speaker 3: the things that he brought up, I thought was, I

275
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:30,320
Speaker 3: gotta ask this question. I asked his question many years

276
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 3: ago about Kevin Johnson. Texans drafted Kevin Johnson, a corner

277
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 3: out of Wake Forest in twenty fifteen. Kevin had a

278
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 3: really solid twenty fifteen, was off to a bang up

279
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 3: start in twenty sixteen, and he broke his foot against

280
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 3: the Indianapolis Colts on the Sunday night win and he

281
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 3: didn't play again at twenty sixteen, and Kevin never really

282
00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 3: got his confidence back. And so I asked Daria the question,

283
00:13:56,000 --> 00:14:01,960
Speaker 3: what would nine year veteran Daria Gumbwalle tell rookie Darya Gumbwalle,

284
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:03,960
Speaker 3: And I asked that question that a lot of the guys,

285
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:05,800
Speaker 3: you know, what would be that piece of advice you'd

286
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:07,520
Speaker 3: give your you know, like you'd go back and tell

287
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:10,680
Speaker 3: you your rookie self question, you know what what advice

288
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:13,080
Speaker 3: would you give? And Dari thought about you know, it's

289
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:16,840
Speaker 3: a really good question. He goes, you know that I'm

290
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 3: good enough, And I asked him, I said, followed that

291
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:23,960
Speaker 3: up with after he gave a great thoftl answer, I said,

292
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 3: how often have you seen guys lose a job or

293
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:29,200
Speaker 3: get you know, taken off a roster or whatever the

294
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:31,320
Speaker 3: case might be, just because they've lost confidence but not

295
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:31,840
Speaker 3: lost talent?

296
00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 2: He goes man way more than you know. And that's

297
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 2: what made me think about Kevin Johnson, because I felt

298
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 2: like Kevin's lost confidence after, you know, coming back from

299
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:40,840
Speaker 2: the foot injury.

300
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:42,680
Speaker 1: He just never got his confidence back.

301
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 2: And I think that was one of the things that

302
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 2: that really kind of held him back. And I just

303
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:50,720
Speaker 2: hear it from Darry don't forget how good you are.

304
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:53,600
Speaker 2: I knew how good I was, and just hearing him

305
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 2: talk through that, and then the guys he learned from. Obviously,

306
00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:57,960
Speaker 2: one of the guys he learned from was in Tampa,

307
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:01,240
Speaker 2: guy named Quiz Rogers who played the Mark Consolidated, whose

308
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:03,320
Speaker 2: uncle is a good friend of mine. And so I've

309
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:05,840
Speaker 2: known Quiz for for a long time. And Quiz doesn't

310
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 2: say whole lot, just did his job, did the best

311
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:10,640
Speaker 2: of his ability.

312
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:12,120
Speaker 1: Was a great pass protector.

313
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:14,360
Speaker 2: He said, that's where Darry sort of learned how to

314
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:17,160
Speaker 2: pass protect and followed quiz and watch quiz.

315
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 1: He watched Carlos Hyde when he's in Jacksonville.

316
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 2: And so it was just really interesting the introspection you

317
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:25,640
Speaker 2: got from Dara, and when you think about him getting

318
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 2: here in twenty one and you have these years in

319
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 2: twenty one, twenty two, they're you're tough, but you make

320
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 2: it through and you get to twenty three and twenty

321
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:36,920
Speaker 2: four and you're such a part of some great wins,

322
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 2: make some clutch plays. The Jacksonville game in Week four,

323
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:45,040
Speaker 2: I mean the Buffalo game that like just little reception

324
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:48,560
Speaker 2: right before Kaimi's game winning kick, the fake pun against Miami.

325
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:51,680
Speaker 2: You can go through and remember all these plays about

326
00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 2: Dara and the impact he's made with them, and you

327
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:58,920
Speaker 2: realize that's why he's still here and for many years.

328
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:00,680
Speaker 2: I mean, the fans something that, oh, that guy would

329
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 2: replaced Daria. Now what he's going to replace Dari?

330
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 1: And it's like, man, I don't know about that, don't

331
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:07,760
Speaker 1: want that to happen.

332
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:10,360
Speaker 3: Look at Dary's path. That didn't happen for him right away,

333
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 3: and he has a role. He plays it well. Now

334
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 3: along these lines, and by the way, as we're talking

335
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:17,920
Speaker 3: about all these interviews we did, you're gonna be hearing

336
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 3: them that we're going to unroll them, roll them out

337
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 3: over the coming weeks. This is kind of like one

338
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:27,400
Speaker 3: of those coming up this season. Whatever the show is, right,

339
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:30,280
Speaker 3: they give it a prequel, the little preview.

340
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:32,920
Speaker 1: Show of the entire season and scenes to come.

341
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 4: Uh.

342
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:36,480
Speaker 3: Damian Pierce had a chance to sit down with him

343
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:39,760
Speaker 3: as well, and you know he really wants to fire

344
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 3: out of the gate here.

345
00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 1: Obviously it's year four for him.

346
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 3: This is a contract year if you will do something big,

347
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:51,160
Speaker 3: and we know that he knows that. Look, there's always

348
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,840
Speaker 3: people trying to take your spot, you know what he

349
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:56,560
Speaker 3: Mark's coming in here, hey, and not that he's going

350
00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:58,840
Speaker 3: to take a spot, but you know, the more running

351
00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:00,480
Speaker 3: backs you have in the room, the more at any

352
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:04,720
Speaker 3: position group, the less opportunity you have, right right, So

353
00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 3: you have to rise up, Like I said, competition. Nick

354
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 3: Chubb reportedly comes in. Those reports started coming out what

355
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:14,240
Speaker 3: yesterday over the weekend. Yeah, and then today Rappaport says

356
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:16,879
Speaker 3: it's done, or Dina Rassini, I should say that he

357
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:19,320
Speaker 3: passed the physical because they haven't announced anything yet, but

358
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:23,919
Speaker 3: that would be really interesting. You get that added to

359
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:27,960
Speaker 3: the equation. We all know mixing hasn't participated in OTAs

360
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 3: and we'll see about mini camp with Damien and such.

361
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:35,560
Speaker 3: But this is gonna be, I think, a really good

362
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:39,920
Speaker 3: thing for this football team. Add another potentially great player.

363
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 3: He is a great player, but can he be great

364
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:46,120
Speaker 3: again coming off back to back injury riddled seasons. Four

365
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:49,560
Speaker 3: time Pro Bowler, total stud your thoughts.

366
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:52,359
Speaker 2: Well, Building off of what we were talking about the

367
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:54,600
Speaker 2: running as, we talked with every running back I think today.

368
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 2: I think we talked with every running back today other

369
00:17:57,160 --> 00:18:02,800
Speaker 2: than Joe. And obviously, you know, Joe's coming back from something.

370
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:04,920
Speaker 2: I think it's been reported. You know, he came back

371
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:07,280
Speaker 2: from something at the ankle from the offseason. I mean

372
00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:09,520
Speaker 2: out of the ankle was bothering him the last half

373
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:11,159
Speaker 2: of the year and he still played through it. I mean,

374
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:16,880
Speaker 2: Joe's a warrior. But I saw the news yesterday and

375
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 2: I thought, oh okay, and immediately, you know, your mind

376
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:23,600
Speaker 2: goes to you know, Nick Chubb at his best, and

377
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:27,520
Speaker 2: you're like, whoa. You realize, Okay, he's coming off I

378
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:31,320
Speaker 2: gotta I gotta make sure. I don't like overseell this.

379
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:34,639
Speaker 2: But in my mind, he's coming off a couple of

380
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:37,119
Speaker 2: years injuries. It was a pretty catastrophic knee injury that

381
00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:38,720
Speaker 2: he had in twenty twenty three. He came back and

382
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:42,240
Speaker 2: he had a foot injury last year. He's not the

383
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:46,359
Speaker 2: Nick Chubb that we remember from the glory days of

384
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:49,240
Speaker 2: the Browns where he's pounded out fifteen hundred yard years

385
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:52,199
Speaker 2: where it felt like every other year. He's not the

386
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:56,200
Speaker 2: not the Nick Chubb I saw in the wild Weather

387
00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:58,360
Speaker 2: of twenty twenty, the COVID year where he went out

388
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:01,840
Speaker 2: of bounds the five yard line and he just destroyed

389
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 2: us in that game. We can't tackle him. That's he

390
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 2: were five years removed from that. However, I don't think

391
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 2: he has to be that guy. I think he just

392
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:13,760
Speaker 2: has to be. And I know a lot of people

393
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:16,239
Speaker 2: have mentioned this, and you maybe alluded to this as

394
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:18,520
Speaker 2: Cam Akers from last year. You know, Cam was coming

395
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:21,119
Speaker 2: off a season where he had torn his achilles again.

396
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:24,160
Speaker 2: It was the second time he had done that. Everybody thought,

397
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:27,280
Speaker 2: what's this guy got left? Well, you take a one

398
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:30,000
Speaker 2: year flyer on him and you realize you get him

399
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 2: in a camp and you're like, holy God, he's got

400
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:34,359
Speaker 2: something left. Yeah, you end up turning out around for

401
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:37,280
Speaker 2: some draft capital. So you know, camp can go back

402
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:39,320
Speaker 2: to Minnesota and have an opportunity with the Vikings at

403
00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:41,800
Speaker 2: that point, because we were kind of you know, jammed

404
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:43,880
Speaker 2: up with Joe with Damien, it was hard to get

405
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:47,719
Speaker 2: reps for everybody there at running back. I think with

406
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:50,520
Speaker 2: Chubb coming in, I think in a lot of ways

407
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 2: to look at it. Number one, how healthy, How healthy

408
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:59,240
Speaker 2: is Joe? What what's the status? What's the prognosis for Joe?

409
00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:03,120
Speaker 2: My gut tell me that Joe isn't gonna miss anything.

410
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:06,320
Speaker 2: He has been durables. I'll get out and outside of

411
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 2: the five games he missed last year with Dankele, before that,

412
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:10,640
Speaker 2: it was seven, sixteen, seventeen.

413
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:10,840
Speaker 1: Games a year.

414
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:15,600
Speaker 2: But you just just never know. And when you you know,

415
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:19,680
Speaker 2: when a guy is not at OTAs or you don't

416
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:21,439
Speaker 2: see him or he's not in mini camp and you

417
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:24,840
Speaker 2: know he's coming back from something, Hey, you wonder, Okay,

418
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:27,160
Speaker 2: we think he's going to be back. We hope he's

419
00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:29,760
Speaker 2: going to be back, but you know, just in case,

420
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:32,120
Speaker 2: And so I feel like Nick Chubb ends up being

421
00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:36,920
Speaker 2: maybe insurance for any and all of it. Best case,

422
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:39,119
Speaker 2: he ends up being just another iron that goes in

423
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:42,240
Speaker 2: the fire that you can go to and give seven

424
00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:44,800
Speaker 2: to eight carries the game when you need it, and

425
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:47,000
Speaker 2: power the football and run the football and just take

426
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 2: heat off everybody else. So if it is Nick Chubb

427
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:53,440
Speaker 2: and it is official, I'm only pretty excited about it,

428
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:56,440
Speaker 2: I think partially just because it's Nick Chubb and I

429
00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:59,560
Speaker 2: think a lot of people remember him as Nick Chubb.

430
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:03,240
Speaker 2: I hope they're not disappointed when they see that, Yeah,

431
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:05,080
Speaker 2: this is a guy that's been impacted by injuries, but

432
00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:07,800
Speaker 2: he still can offer something to this offense in the

433
00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:09,680
Speaker 2: run game that I love.

434
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:11,440
Speaker 1: And if it ends up being insurance.

435
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 2: Great, It's one year, it's probably not a massive contract.

436
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:19,119
Speaker 2: Apparently it's an incentive laden contract, which is probably the

437
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:22,359
Speaker 2: right way to have done it. But I'm pumped about it,

438
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:24,920
Speaker 2: to be honest, I think there's some good football still

439
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:27,080
Speaker 2: left in him, and I hope that he can provide

440
00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:27,760
Speaker 2: it for this team.

441
00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:28,840
Speaker 1: What are your thoughts?

442
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 3: Well, I just think it adds to the pile, right yep.

443
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:34,800
Speaker 3: And it's pretty good looking right now. You get mixing

444
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:38,600
Speaker 3: back healthy and who knows what the situation is. But

445
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:40,600
Speaker 3: I pointed out previously, you don't play a game for

446
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 3: three months. In three months, you play your first meaningful

447
00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:48,280
Speaker 3: football game almost exactly right. So three months you're good

448
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:52,399
Speaker 3: to go with Joe, I would hope, but if not,

449
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:56,879
Speaker 3: maybe Chubb Damian Pierce. Like we said, Damien wants to

450
00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:59,600
Speaker 3: play really well this year. And the last time we

451
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:02,240
Speaker 3: saw him carrying the rock was against Tennessee and he

452
00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:05,320
Speaker 3: was awesome and this was an outstanding run defense and

453
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:06,919
Speaker 3: I know, last game of the season, but they were

454
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:10,400
Speaker 3: trying to get that one, and then you look at

455
00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:14,240
Speaker 3: whatever else could happen wild card wise at this position.

456
00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:16,680
Speaker 1: Juwar Jordan, we talked to him today. You mentioned it. Yeah,

457
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:17,000
Speaker 1: you're right.

458
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:19,359
Speaker 3: We did talk to just about every running back except Joe.

459
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:23,200
Speaker 3: I don't know JJ Taylor can still do some things

460
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:26,879
Speaker 3: for this football team. We mentioned dare so add to

461
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:29,480
Speaker 3: the mix like they do with other position groups. I

462
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:31,240
Speaker 3: don't know how it's all going to play out. Like

463
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:33,520
Speaker 3: last year, I didn't know how Acres would play out.

464
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:35,960
Speaker 3: But Acres in camp looked like the best back on

465
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:38,760
Speaker 3: the field for the Houston Texans for a while, and

466
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:41,040
Speaker 3: then you said it, you end up getting draft camp

467
00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:43,480
Speaker 3: for him, and at one point you felt like maybe

468
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:45,440
Speaker 3: we shouldn't have given up cam Akers because they got

469
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:46,880
Speaker 3: thin and running back with injuries.

470
00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:49,040
Speaker 1: So no, I like it. Pick him up.

471
00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:52,280
Speaker 3: It's not going to kill you financially, and the upside

472
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:53,160
Speaker 3: is very high.

473
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:54,680
Speaker 1: It's very high. Johnny.

474
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:59,040
Speaker 3: You could imagine everybody healthy and Shub back to his

475
00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:02,280
Speaker 3: old form, potentially at least for a while. What if

476
00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:04,600
Speaker 3: it's for a playoff run. He's like a hot goalie

477
00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:07,800
Speaker 3: in the NHL and you're riding Nick Chubb. What if

478
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:11,400
Speaker 3: he's John Riggins after he's done with the Jets, etc.

479
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:14,320
Speaker 3: And ends up with Washington and goes on that run. Look,

480
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:17,560
Speaker 3: that's best case. That's the best case scenario with other

481
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:20,040
Speaker 3: things happening where Joe can't play or whatever. And I

482
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:21,960
Speaker 3: don't want to say that's any kind of good scenario,

483
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:23,600
Speaker 3: but anyway, the point is this.

484
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:27,720
Speaker 1: It's a great insurance policy, right, it really is. It's

485
00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 1: worth it. I'm glad to see it.

486
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:33,480
Speaker 2: One of the things that Shawn Seth were talking about

487
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:37,159
Speaker 2: this this morning, and one of the things that probably

488
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:40,720
Speaker 2: hit me maybe more than anything else, was that Browns

489
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:45,520
Speaker 2: fans didn't want to lose Nick Chubb, not Nick Chubb,

490
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:49,080
Speaker 2: running back, not star running back, not fantasy football legend.

491
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:52,440
Speaker 1: They didn't want to lose Nick Chubb, the player, the person,

492
00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 1: the guy.

493
00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:53,840
Speaker 5: Yeah.

494
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:56,440
Speaker 2: And when I think about that, I'm like, ooh, you

495
00:23:56,480 --> 00:24:01,399
Speaker 2: add another swarmy veteran to the mix that has seen

496
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:04,160
Speaker 2: some things, that has been there, that has been through

497
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:08,520
Speaker 2: the rough times, that has gone through injuries and rebounded.

498
00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:10,800
Speaker 2: That's the kind of guy that you want.

499
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:11,120
Speaker 1: Now.

500
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:14,520
Speaker 2: I don't from what I remember, Nick doesn't say a

501
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:17,880
Speaker 2: whole heck of a lot. But when you have Browns

502
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:22,719
Speaker 2: fans just mad they're losing that guy, I'm like, let's

503
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:25,520
Speaker 2: go the swarmier the better.

504
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:28,000
Speaker 3: You got an AFC North reunion in the running back

505
00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:31,280
Speaker 3: room with Joe Mixon and Nick Chubb, exactly, all we

506
00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 3: need is Najie Harris here and JK Dobbins.

507
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:40,880
Speaker 2: Let's go baby, JK Dobbins, you know, yeah, yeah, Because

508
00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:43,640
Speaker 2: there was a lot of talk about JK Dobbins, Yeah

509
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:46,560
Speaker 2: in the Texans And so I remember seeing that back

510
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:48,040
Speaker 2: a month or so ago.

511
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:49,200
Speaker 1: I didn't.

512
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:51,119
Speaker 2: I just saw it kind of thrown out there and

513
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:53,320
Speaker 2: it really didn't have any kind of legs to it. It

514
00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:55,000
Speaker 2: didn't seem but I thought, yeah, that wouldn't be a

515
00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:57,640
Speaker 2: bad move. You know, same kind of thing guy's been.

516
00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:02,359
Speaker 2: He's deubled injuries, had I thought a solid bounce back year.

517
00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:04,240
Speaker 1: Were the Chargers year. We saw him in a playoff game.

518
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:06,600
Speaker 2: I don't think he got much blocking and he's running

519
00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:08,520
Speaker 2: against our defense and so there wasn't a whole lot

520
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:09,360
Speaker 2: there for him.

521
00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:10,440
Speaker 1: But I thought, yeah, JK.

522
00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:13,000
Speaker 2: Dobbins, And then I remember thinking, wait, Nick Chubb is

523
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:15,840
Speaker 2: still not signed right, Well, I think either one of

524
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:18,840
Speaker 2: those would end up being a good fit in our

525
00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:23,680
Speaker 2: running back room, because I don't think that especially Chubb

526
00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:24,479
Speaker 2: not a diva.

527
00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:26,600
Speaker 1: Just come in, put his head down.

528
00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:30,520
Speaker 2: Go to work, be a nice solid veteran addition, and

529
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:33,359
Speaker 2: that affords you a lot of different things. I mean, look,

530
00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:36,439
Speaker 2: Joe doesn't have to be back for the first day

531
00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:39,040
Speaker 2: of training camp. He doesn't have to be back for

532
00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:41,520
Speaker 2: the first day of training camp. He can come along

533
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:44,040
Speaker 2: at his pace and be one hundred percent healthy to

534
00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:46,360
Speaker 2: dive into the season once he's ready to go. Look,

535
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:48,879
Speaker 2: I hope he's ready to go day one, but that

536
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:52,840
Speaker 2: may not be the case. So now you've got insurance

537
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:55,920
Speaker 2: to see what you've got with Chubb see where Damian

538
00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:59,120
Speaker 2: Pierce is. Get your rookies and your young guys involved

539
00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:02,040
Speaker 2: along with Dara and see what this running back room

540
00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:05,239
Speaker 2: could be. I just think it's more positive than it

541
00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:09,919
Speaker 2: is anything else. Now, speaking of the AFC North, one

542
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:11,520
Speaker 2: other one that you have not had a chance to

543
00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:14,359
Speaker 2: comment on. Actually I did a comment on it a

544
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:16,480
Speaker 2: little bit the other day, but I didn't want to

545
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:18,840
Speaker 2: spend a whole lot of time with it. The Pittsburgh

546
00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:23,120
Speaker 2: Steelers have a new quarterback, and it's a guy that's

547
00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:25,159
Speaker 2: been rumored. It felt like he'd already been there, but

548
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:28,040
Speaker 2: they made it official going into mini camp Aaron Rodgers

549
00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:32,000
Speaker 2: one year about thirteen million dollars, Maybe the opportunity to

550
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:36,399
Speaker 2: get a little bit more your thoughts for Rogers, the Steelers,

551
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:39,640
Speaker 2: the AFC North. Are they a bigger threat now with

552
00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:42,760
Speaker 2: Rogers than they were without?

553
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:44,840
Speaker 1: We won't know it until we see it.

554
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:48,800
Speaker 3: But the vibe I get is, Okay, it'll be better

555
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:51,160
Speaker 3: than it was going to be with say Will Howard, Yeah,

556
00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:54,399
Speaker 3: Mason Rudolph. Of course, you know it's going to be

557
00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:58,320
Speaker 3: better than that. But how much better? How much better

558
00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:00,760
Speaker 3: will it be? We don't know what Rogers is going

559
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:04,679
Speaker 3: to do. After missing the entire offseason basically, and I

560
00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:08,880
Speaker 3: know Rogers doesn't need OTAs, what come on, it has

561
00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:11,240
Speaker 3: to have some sort of effect. Now, maybe you save

562
00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:13,360
Speaker 3: on the wear and tear there, but let's just move

563
00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:16,320
Speaker 3: it forward into the season. I don't think it puts

564
00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:18,360
Speaker 3: the Steelers, and look, maybe it does, but I don't

565
00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:20,320
Speaker 3: think it puts the Steelers in any kind.

566
00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:21,920
Speaker 1: Of AFC contender situation.

567
00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:25,200
Speaker 3: It does make them stronger, and what I like about

568
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:28,800
Speaker 3: it is it makes them more able to put dents

569
00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:32,639
Speaker 3: in the Baltimore Ravens in whatever the Cincinnati Bengals are

570
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:36,320
Speaker 3: able to produce. It does help them be more competitive

571
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:37,520
Speaker 3: in that division against them.

572
00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:40,160
Speaker 1: We do not play the Steelers this year, that's right. Good.

573
00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:44,760
Speaker 2: Who's their AFC South the ponent, Johnny, It's not gonna.

574
00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:47,840
Speaker 1: Be were they were second? Right, you were second?

575
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:51,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, Ravens won Steelers two, Bengals three, Browns four.

576
00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:53,760
Speaker 1: So they'll play the.

577
00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:57,879
Speaker 3: Colts Colts, yeah, good, make them stronger against the Colts.

578
00:27:57,880 --> 00:27:59,240
Speaker 1: And speaking of the Colts.

579
00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:04,640
Speaker 2: To the Colts, your guy Anthony Richardson shoulder situation.

580
00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:10,000
Speaker 3: Right again, I think that I would rather have Anthony

581
00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:13,760
Speaker 3: Richardson available from a Texans perspective, because I want those

582
00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:17,160
Speaker 3: two quarterbacks to, you know, make the coach's head spin

583
00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:19,679
Speaker 3: around and wonder what to do. And Richardson made one

584
00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:21,919
Speaker 3: of those amazing plays and look at the upside and

585
00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:23,000
Speaker 3: oh my gosh, I don't know.

586
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:24,400
Speaker 1: I can't figure it out.

587
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:28,119
Speaker 3: Now that they know they have certainty that it's Daniel

588
00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:31,639
Speaker 3: Jones at least for most of the season. Yeah, and

589
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:33,200
Speaker 3: if he's going good, there's no way they're going to

590
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:36,520
Speaker 3: take him out Now that they know this, doesn't it

591
00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:41,360
Speaker 3: help them to have that certainty? Now you could also argue, well,

592
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:43,360
Speaker 3: they have nowhere else to go, you know, Sam Ellinger,

593
00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:46,680
Speaker 3: I don't think it's gonna happen. So you could argue

594
00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:49,600
Speaker 3: the upside is not really that high. How high is

595
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:52,040
Speaker 3: the ceiling with Daniel Jones. I venture to say the

596
00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:57,400
Speaker 3: ceiling's reasonably high, because with healthy Jonathan Taylor running the ball,

597
00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:03,200
Speaker 3: you can imagine a do of Barkley against Minnesota and

598
00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:06,360
Speaker 3: the playoffs in twenty twenty three, No, twenty twenty two.

599
00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:11,400
Speaker 3: Rather yeah, and I'm not saying that's gonna happen, but look,

600
00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:13,640
Speaker 3: if Taylor's running the ball really well, in Jones is

601
00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:17,560
Speaker 3: somehow not turning the ball over somehow that could be

602
00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:18,920
Speaker 3: really special for them.

603
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:20,720
Speaker 1: Does it hurt them more? Does it?

604
00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:23,240
Speaker 3: I guess I'm asking the question, does it help them

605
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:25,320
Speaker 3: more than it hurts them? Because they're certainty now at

606
00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:28,080
Speaker 3: the quarterback position. Certainly as far as who you're gonna

607
00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:31,160
Speaker 3: start week one, okay, not oh my gosh, we got

608
00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:33,720
Speaker 3: our guy for the next ten years, because it's certainly.

609
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:35,480
Speaker 1: Not the case there now. I wish you were playing

610
00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:36,400
Speaker 1: a Colts a week one.

611
00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:39,760
Speaker 2: I'd rather see Daniel Jones in Week one than I

612
00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:43,200
Speaker 2: would after a few weeks of getting his feet underneath him.

613
00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:45,480
Speaker 2: And it's I don't really know how to say this,

614
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:49,959
Speaker 2: but I feel like the Colts can be better with

615
00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:51,320
Speaker 2: Daniel Jones.

616
00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:55,400
Speaker 1: But Richardson at quarterback scares me way, yeah.

617
00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:57,320
Speaker 3: Sure, because he can make two plays in one game

618
00:29:57,520 --> 00:30:00,440
Speaker 3: that'll kill you and keep them in a ball.

619
00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:03,720
Speaker 1: Exactly they should have been in that game.

620
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:07,960
Speaker 2: And he throws that thing fading away off his back foot.

621
00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:14,320
Speaker 2: I got to thinking about this. Have you bright way

622
00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:20,240
Speaker 2: of saying this? Anthony Richardson, God bless him. Was never

623
00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:25,000
Speaker 2: good in high school, was really never good at Florida,

624
00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:27,480
Speaker 2: and has not been good in the NFL.

625
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:30,160
Speaker 3: It's all spec, it's all ceiling, it's all potential.

626
00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:32,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was all based on potential, and it was

627
00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:36,600
Speaker 2: like he never reached any of that potential at any

628
00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:37,840
Speaker 2: three levels of football.

629
00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:41,160
Speaker 3: It's like buying stock in an app that is not

630
00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:44,280
Speaker 3: yet fully developed, but it could do this. It could,

631
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:47,480
Speaker 3: you know, be able to hologram you over to I

632
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:50,200
Speaker 3: don't know whatever kind of metaphor high tech wise you

633
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:53,520
Speaker 3: want to produce. Yeah, there was never any physical evidence

634
00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:55,720
Speaker 3: that he could do it over a long period of time,

635
00:30:56,960 --> 00:30:57,520
Speaker 3: and there.

636
00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:00,240
Speaker 2: At any level like usually, I mean they're in some

637
00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:03,040
Speaker 2: bust in the NFL. Mike Ryan Leaf is one is

638
00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:04,760
Speaker 2: thought to be one of the great NFL bus. Ryan

639
00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:07,520
Speaker 2: Leaf was a really freaking good college quarterback. There's a

640
00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:09,440
Speaker 2: reason why I was drafted, really really good.

641
00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:13,440
Speaker 3: Richison was drafted number four just on pure speculators spec.

642
00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:17,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, pure spec. So it's unbelievable. This could take down

643
00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:20,920
Speaker 2: the entire Cults operation. By the way, because now you

644
00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:25,720
Speaker 2: have it's not CGI, it's c IG right in charge.

645
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:27,240
Speaker 2: She's in charge.

646
00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:30,760
Speaker 3: And look they're gonna have to take everybody out if

647
00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:32,760
Speaker 3: this doesn't work right this, I would.

648
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:35,440
Speaker 1: Think, so, I would think, so we'll see what ends up?

649
00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:36,280
Speaker 1: What was happening all right?

650

Speaker 2: Like your your wedding planning A how much were you

669
00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:36,280
Speaker 2: involved in wedding planning? And B why now coming back

670
00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:39,000
Speaker 2: from Mini Caamp? Why did you wait another week and

671
00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:42,560
Speaker 2: then just go straight from honeymoon there too complex the

672
00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:44,720
Speaker 2: situation or just get out unfolded.

673
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:47,920
Speaker 4: So one I wish we could have done it like that.

674
00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:50,160
Speaker 4: That was I mean, that would have been ideal. But

675
00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:55,840
Speaker 4: the booking venues and everything in downtown Chicago, everyone wants

676
00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:58,520
Speaker 4: to get married in the summer. Yeah, so you have

677
00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:01,480
Speaker 4: to have the church line up in the hotel and

678
00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:06,080
Speaker 4: the event space lined up. And not everyone does the church,

679
00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:07,760
Speaker 4: but we we did it. We wanted to have a

680
00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:11,480
Speaker 4: church involved, and uh yeah, so it's hard to get

681
00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:14,160
Speaker 4: everything lined up on the exact date and everything's booked

682
00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:16,320
Speaker 4: a year out a year plus now with all the

683
00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:20,640
Speaker 4: summertime weddings in Chicago. So that was this is a opportunity.

684
00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:21,400
Speaker 5: And I knew that.

685
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:24,360
Speaker 4: Usually Monday's media day, so I you know, we have

686
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:26,520
Speaker 4: a few extra days to Yeah.

00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:29,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is a is this a tough day? This

688
00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:31,360
Speaker 3: is kind of a chill day media day.

689
00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:31,800
Speaker 5: Right, Yeah.

690
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:36,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's not not a super not physically taxing. So

691
00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:40,200
Speaker 4: after your stay up late, you know, you get tired.

692
00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:42,880

Speaker 5: Nothing, nothing too crazy. Everything really went.

710
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:32,080
Speaker 4: There's a I mean, I think everyone realized on their

711
00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:33,919
Speaker 4: wedding day is a small couple of things that don't

712
00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:36,759
Speaker 4: go exactly how you wanted to go. But I mean

713
00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:39,360
Speaker 4: we had a blast after after I said I do,

714
00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:41,520
Speaker 4: it was a blur and we just had so much

715
00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:44,160
Speaker 4: fun and get to see so many people we love

716
00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:44,920
Speaker 4: and care about.

717
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:46,879
Speaker 5: So it was it was it was a lot of fun.

718
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:50,359
Speaker 2: So with next week, you guys, well this week being

Speaker 1: What are the honeymoon plants. What are you guys planning doing.

721
00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:56,600
Speaker 5: We're going to Cabo for three days.

722
00:34:56,719 --> 00:34:59,200
Speaker 4: So we've done a lot of travel this offseason, so

723
00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:02,839
Speaker 4: we didn't want to do like some like ten day yeah,

724
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:03,879
Speaker 4: European tour.

725
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:05,400
Speaker 5: Like we just let's go to me.

726
00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:07,680
Speaker 4: Let's go somewhere tropical, sit on the beach for three

727
00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:12,960
Speaker 4: days and enjoy being. Ota is done and our wedding, Uh,

728
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:15,240
Speaker 4: all the wedding planning is over, so it'd be great.

729
00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:17,480
Speaker 3: Great idea. All right, so let's talk some ball here.

730
00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:21,120
Speaker 3: Every year is different. He got some new faces, EJ Speed.

731
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:24,840
Speaker 3: For me, this is very strange to see a former

732
00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:27,960
Speaker 3: cult as a tech seg. Now, so what's it like

733
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:30,200
Speaker 3: with him some of the other new faces this year's

734
00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:31,160
Speaker 3: defense so far?

735
00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:31,800
Speaker 1: What are you seeing?

736
00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:32,799
Speaker 5: I think?

737
00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:35,919
Speaker 4: I mean, EJ's picking up the defense great, and he's

738
00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:38,200
Speaker 4: a he's a hell of an athlete and a great player.

739
00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:40,239
Speaker 4: It's a it's fun to kind of watch his game

740
00:35:40,239 --> 00:35:42,040
Speaker 4: because we were always watching each other.

741
00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:43,280
Speaker 5: And same division.

742
00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:45,520
Speaker 4: You said, they run a similar defense to us, and

743
00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:49,520
Speaker 4: so we watch a ton of Colts tape and watch it, Uh,

744
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:53,600
Speaker 4: just scouting in general the opponent. But it's been really

745
00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:56,680
Speaker 4: fun to learn, like what his thought processes and play

746
00:35:56,719 --> 00:35:59,560
Speaker 4: with him and build some chemistry with him throughout OTAs.

747
00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:05,560
Speaker 2: So you're five, your four you're four four four still,

748
00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:07,719
Speaker 2: I mean, it's man, it feels like you've been here

749
00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:10,200
Speaker 2: for longer, and yet it feels like you just got here.

750
00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:12,799
Speaker 2: What's kind of been your focus going into this year

751
00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:15,239
Speaker 2: where this is the third year in this system we're

752
00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:18,640
Speaker 2: hearing I'd imagine a lot of the same things. You

753
00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:21,240
Speaker 2: can just go out there and kind of muscle memory

754
00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:22,960
Speaker 2: things at times because you've.

755
00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:24,200
Speaker 1: Seen it before and heard it before.

756
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:26,000
Speaker 2: What's that kind of been like for you, Jay, going

757
00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:28,800
Speaker 2: through this offseason and now your third year.

758
00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:32,040
Speaker 4: Well, I I mean, I think it it gives you

759
00:36:32,040 --> 00:36:34,359
Speaker 4: a lot of confidence one to when when every time

760
00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:37,320
Speaker 4: you step on the grass, you've done that, done everything,

761
00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:40,319
Speaker 4: done the process for two years and you just know

762
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:43,839
Speaker 4: what uh Demko's looking for and what's expected around here.

763
00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:49,200
Speaker 4: So that's knowing knowing what you're going into every single

764
00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:53,880
Speaker 4: season is very, very helpful. And with the same head coach,

765
00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:55,800
Speaker 4: it's a it's all it's been great.

766
00:36:56,280 --> 00:36:57,200
Speaker 1: Jake Hanson with us.

767
00:36:57,239 --> 00:37:00,359
Speaker 3: Okay, everybody wants to know about the new offense and

768
00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:03,640
Speaker 3: so I want you to reveal everything right now, but

769
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:06,720
Speaker 3: everything it's early OTA's mini camp.

770
00:37:06,760 --> 00:37:08,200
Speaker 1: But what do you see in so far?

771
00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:10,040
Speaker 3: What are some of the elements that you could share

772
00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:13,360
Speaker 3: with the fans about what this might look like come September.

773
00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:17,319
Speaker 4: I think coach coach Nick Kyley is doing a great

774
00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:22,000
Speaker 4: job of like putting guys, using guys to their attributes

775
00:37:22,120 --> 00:37:24,560
Speaker 4: and getting them in space and getting them good one

776
00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:27,960
Speaker 4: on one, good matchups every single every single time there's

777
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:32,239
Speaker 4: a snap. So we'll use Kirk and they use his

778
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:35,279
Speaker 4: skills their best way. He us Nico great like all

779
00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:40,719
Speaker 4: those offensive weapons. I see them him emphasizing all their talents.

780
00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:43,000
Speaker 5: So yeah, he's doing a great job with that.

781
00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:45,640
Speaker 2: Jake, are you Are you one of those players that

782
00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:48,719
Speaker 2: will pay attention to the schedule when it comes out

783
00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:51,799
Speaker 2: as far as who are playing when night games all that?

784
00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:54,799
Speaker 2: Or does that not even hit you at all? If

785
00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:56,759
Speaker 2: it is something that you kind of pay attention to.

786
00:37:57,120 --> 00:37:58,960
Speaker 2: Are there any kind of games that you point out, like,

787
00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:01,880
Speaker 2: oh man, primetime game here, this game? There anything you

788
00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:05,879
Speaker 2: kind of look at the schedule home over Tampa Bay, right.

789
00:38:06,840 --> 00:38:09,480
Speaker 4: I've heard folks, Yeah, No, I've heard about I've heard

790
00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:13,080
Speaker 4: about the Tampa Bay game just from family. I personally,

791
00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:15,680
Speaker 4: I don't look at it super closely. I notice, well,

792
00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:18,160
Speaker 4: I'm gonna play some buddies, Like there's some I have

793
00:38:18,239 --> 00:38:20,560
Speaker 4: a close friend on the Broncos, and I know I

794
00:38:20,600 --> 00:38:23,880
Speaker 4: circle that game you get to suit up against. Anytime

795
00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:25,400
Speaker 4: you get to suit up against someone like you went

796
00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:29,200
Speaker 4: to high school. Yeah, yeah, it's a cool opportunity. I

797
00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:31,880
Speaker 4: would just say those the games where I know someone

798
00:38:32,040 --> 00:38:33,400
Speaker 4: or those type of games.

799
00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:35,280
Speaker 5: So that's what I look forward to during the season.

800
00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:37,879
Speaker 3: Before we know it, training camp will be here. How

801
00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:41,759
Speaker 3: will you handle training camp differently as you advance in

802
00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:43,880
Speaker 3: your career, if at all? Is it the same to

803
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:46,319
Speaker 3: you or is it a little bit different. It's such

804
00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:48,080
Speaker 3: a grind you got to get through it. Last year

805
00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:51,600
Speaker 3: was seven weeks. It was crazy. It was We'll see

806
00:38:51,600 --> 00:38:53,160
Speaker 3: what this year brings. I know you have at least

807
00:38:53,239 --> 00:38:55,960
Speaker 3: joint practices with the Panthers. I believe maybe more. But

808
00:38:56,040 --> 00:38:56,640
Speaker 3: what do you think?

809
00:38:57,120 --> 00:38:57,840
Speaker 5: I think.

810
00:38:59,120 --> 00:39:02,759
Speaker 4: I would say going into the biggest difference for me

811
00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:07,120
Speaker 4: is going into your forest. Don't make training camp bigger

812
00:39:07,120 --> 00:39:09,719
Speaker 4: than what it is. Right like every day, I think

813
00:39:09,880 --> 00:39:10,680
Speaker 4: my rookie.

814
00:39:10,400 --> 00:39:11,000
Speaker 5: Year I was.

815
00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:15,680
Speaker 4: I hated out as I thought it was big, scary

816
00:39:15,760 --> 00:39:18,640
Speaker 4: training camp, and it's I mean, it's a it's a grind,

817
00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:22,120
Speaker 4: it's hard, but I mean I've done training camp. My

818
00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:25,000
Speaker 4: whole feels like my whole life now. So don't make

819
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:27,479
Speaker 4: it bigger than it is. Take one practice at a time,

820
00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:31,680
Speaker 4: and you know it's a just if you look. My

821
00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:36,279
Speaker 4: dad always talks about taking every when things like life

822
00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:39,640
Speaker 4: gets hard, you take everything like hour by hour. So

823
00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:42,560
Speaker 4: don't think too much ahead, like just get next thing

824
00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:44,640
Speaker 4: you do is this meeting. Stay in the present for

825
00:39:44,719 --> 00:39:47,480
Speaker 4: this meeting, Stay in the present for practic don't think.

826
00:39:47,320 --> 00:39:50,680
Speaker 5: About man, we got four more weeks until.

827
00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:54,319
Speaker 4: Like that'll make training camp feel like it's six months long.

828
00:39:54,440 --> 00:39:57,359
Speaker 3: So, you know, Jake, a lot of the coaches say, hey,

829
00:39:57,440 --> 00:39:58,960
Speaker 3: you want to do things right, look at a guy

830
00:39:58,960 --> 00:39:59,760
Speaker 3: like Will Anderson.

831
00:39:59,840 --> 00:40:02,879
Speaker 1: Right, yeah, I look to a guy like you though.

832
00:40:02,680 --> 00:40:05,520
Speaker 3: As an inspiration for a lot of young players, because

833
00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:07,640
Speaker 3: you know, you come in here love, he brings you

834
00:40:07,719 --> 00:40:11,520
Speaker 3: in and and Johnny was saying, watch out for this guy.

835
00:40:11,640 --> 00:40:12,759
Speaker 1: This guy's gonna be here.

836
00:40:12,920 --> 00:40:15,319
Speaker 3: And you've been here a while now, So what's the

837
00:40:15,440 --> 00:40:17,799
Speaker 3: key to you and what's something you could share for

838
00:40:18,239 --> 00:40:20,800
Speaker 3: young players? Coming into the league trying to make their way.

839
00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:25,759
Speaker 4: I would say, I think that's you just have to

840
00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:29,160
Speaker 4: stick your head down until I mean, it's really just

841
00:40:29,160 --> 00:40:30,920
Speaker 4: stick your head down and go to work right, and

842
00:40:31,080 --> 00:40:34,520
Speaker 4: there's no ego. Uh, don't have an ego when you

843
00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:38,239
Speaker 4: come in here and be coachable.

844
00:40:37,719 --> 00:40:39,760
Speaker 5: And be likable to everyone in the building.

845
00:40:39,800 --> 00:40:42,200
Speaker 4: I try and do my best to be likable around

846
00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:45,520
Speaker 4: here and work hard for the coaches. So be the

847
00:40:45,600 --> 00:40:48,120
Speaker 4: same person every single day, Like they know what they're

848
00:40:48,120 --> 00:40:49,640
Speaker 4: gonna get out of me every single day. And I

849
00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:53,560
Speaker 4: take pride in in them knowing that about me. So

850
00:40:53,920 --> 00:40:56,120
Speaker 4: that's that's what That's what I would say the young

851
00:40:56,120 --> 00:40:57,080
Speaker 4: players trying to make it.

852
00:40:57,520 --> 00:40:59,719
Speaker 2: Last year, we had seven weeks of a training camp

853
00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:01,440
Speaker 2: because played the Hall of Fame game. And you'll see

854
00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:04,080
Speaker 2: where I'm going with this. You had a memorable Hall

855
00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:07,120
Speaker 2: of Fame game for a particular reason. And it was

856
00:41:07,200 --> 00:41:09,960
Speaker 2: at that point and I'm standing maybe ten yards away,

857
00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:12,920
Speaker 2: you make that tackle, and I thought this kickoff thing

858
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:17,960
Speaker 2: ain't gonna fly because that collision happened so fast, like

859
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:20,600
Speaker 2: you got off your block and bang, like you hit

860
00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:22,360
Speaker 2: the returner right on a spot.

861
00:41:22,520 --> 00:41:24,560
Speaker 1: And I thought, if this is the way it's gonna be.

862
00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:27,879
Speaker 1: This isn't what they want from me. Yeah, But as the.

863
00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:29,840
Speaker 2: Year wore on, how did you kind of like the

864
00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:32,440
Speaker 2: new kickoff rule when you were on special teams?

865
00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:34,759
Speaker 1: And do you think do you like it the way

866
00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:35,040
Speaker 1: it is?

867
00:41:35,080 --> 00:41:36,919
Speaker 2: Would you like to get I know it won't go back,

868
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:38,799
Speaker 2: but did you like the old way better?

869
00:41:38,880 --> 00:41:40,839
Speaker 1: Did you get adapted to the new way? And how

870
00:41:40,840 --> 00:41:42,680
Speaker 1: do you think it might adapt as we go forward.

871
00:41:43,480 --> 00:41:47,480
Speaker 4: I think initially I did not like it. I was

872
00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:50,520
Speaker 4: it was kind of an anytime you have changed in football,

873
00:41:50,520 --> 00:41:52,640
Speaker 4: I felt like it was it's bad. I felt like

874
00:41:52,680 --> 00:41:56,439
Speaker 4: it was bad for the game initially, But after after

875
00:41:56,520 --> 00:41:58,319
Speaker 4: a season with it, I think every one of my.

876
00:41:58,320 --> 00:42:00,799
Speaker 5: Special teams tackles came down kickoff off, so it was

877
00:42:01,040 --> 00:42:02,200
Speaker 5: I was like, dang, I kind of like this.

878
00:42:02,680 --> 00:42:03,880
Speaker 1: I like this new kickoff.

879
00:42:04,960 --> 00:42:07,720
Speaker 4: Found a way to be productive on kickoff. So it's

880
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:10,840
Speaker 4: it was a It's grown on me a lot, and

881
00:42:11,640 --> 00:42:13,960
Speaker 4: after a year doing it, it's you're starting I'm starting

882
00:42:13,960 --> 00:42:17,040
Speaker 4: to get a better feel for kickoff return as well

883
00:42:17,120 --> 00:42:21,080
Speaker 4: and kickoff. So I think people always say like good

884
00:42:21,120 --> 00:42:23,000
Speaker 4: players have to adapt. So if you're gonna be a

885
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:24,400
Speaker 4: good player in this league. I got to adapt to

886
00:42:24,440 --> 00:42:26,400
Speaker 4: the new rules, and I think as far as it

887
00:42:26,880 --> 00:42:29,560
Speaker 4: like evolving, I think you're kind of seeing it evolve

888
00:42:29,640 --> 00:42:32,840
Speaker 4: right now with the new change, right Like, we'll probably

889
00:42:32,840 --> 00:42:36,600
Speaker 4: see another rule change the next year. Like if I

890
00:42:36,640 --> 00:42:39,719
Speaker 4: don't know, there's we're going to have a lot more

891
00:42:40,200 --> 00:42:42,960
Speaker 4: kick kicks in play this year. It seems like that's

892
00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:47,279
Speaker 4: what everyone's prediction is, right because of the the ball

893
00:42:47,320 --> 00:42:49,680
Speaker 4: going to the thirty five with touchback. So I think

894
00:42:49,719 --> 00:42:53,040
Speaker 4: you'll see it continuously evolve and become I think it's

895
00:42:53,040 --> 00:42:55,400
Speaker 4: making special teams. The thing cool thing about it is

896
00:42:55,480 --> 00:42:59,480
Speaker 4: it's making special teams players more valuable. So that's the

897
00:42:59,480 --> 00:43:01,560
Speaker 4: way I'm looking at it, and that's a I think

898
00:43:01,560 --> 00:43:03,000
Speaker 4: that's the way everyone else should.

899
00:43:02,719 --> 00:43:05,560
Speaker 3: Look at outstanding. Jake, thanks so much for joining us.

900
00:43:05,560 --> 00:43:07,160

00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:20,640
Speaker 2: catching up with the fourth year veteran. My goodness, time flies,

907
00:43:20,680 --> 00:43:23,520
Speaker 2: all right. We're going around the league. Nick Chubb, it

908
00:43:23,560 --> 00:43:26,560
Speaker 2: appears as past as physical. He is a Texan and

909
00:43:26,640 --> 00:43:29,879
Speaker 2: Anthony Richardson still injured. We'll talk about that next right here.

910
00:43:29,880 --> 00:43:32,200
Speaker 2: Going around the NFL and Texas All Access, we go

911
00:43:32,280 --> 00:43:35,000
Speaker 2: on final segment this Money edition to Texas All Access

912
00:43:35,080 --> 00:43:38,960

00:43:39,920 --> 00:43:42,480
Speaker 1: We talked about Nick Chubb to the Texans.

915
00:43:42,520 --> 00:43:46,520
Speaker 2: Apparently he has signed or passes physical yep, and he

916
00:43:46,640 --> 00:43:47,800
Speaker 2: will be a Texan.

917
00:43:48,280 --> 00:43:51,239
Speaker 1: Your thoughts in ten seconds, let's go. I thought, oh

918
00:43:51,320 --> 00:43:53,800
Speaker 1: my thoughts? Yeah, your thought Nick Chubb. I'm excited.

919
00:43:53,840 --> 00:43:56,640
Speaker 3: I said it before. I'm excited that he's in the mix.

920
00:43:57,160 --> 00:44:00,240
Speaker 3: You add depth to the running back room at his

921
00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:02,919
Speaker 3: peak obviously amazing. I don't know if you're gonna get

922
00:44:02,920 --> 00:44:04,960
Speaker 3: that out of him, but if you get eighty percent

923
00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:07,960
Speaker 3: of that, that's a lot. Obviously, Mixon is going to

924
00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:12,600
Speaker 3: be one to watch here. He has not participated so

925
00:44:12,680 --> 00:44:15,480
Speaker 3: far this offseason. A lot of reports about injury. Whatever.

926
00:44:16,040 --> 00:44:18,160
Speaker 3: You don't play a game for three months, but guess what,

927
00:44:18,640 --> 00:44:20,440
Speaker 3: not on the field is not on the field. So

928
00:44:20,480 --> 00:44:23,040
Speaker 3: you add depth to the running back room, get them

929
00:44:23,080 --> 00:44:25,560
Speaker 3: all out there, see what you got, and you have

930
00:44:25,760 --> 00:44:28,920
Speaker 3: many camp tomorrow. Can't wait to report tomorrow. Night on

931
00:44:28,960 --> 00:44:31,000
Speaker 3: what we see in Indianapolis.

932
00:44:31,320 --> 00:44:35,200
Speaker 2: Anthony Richardson to miss Colts Mini caamp with a shoulder injury. Also,

933
00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:41,200
Speaker 2: Carly Ersay Gordon to serve as Indianapolis Colts principal owner

934
00:44:41,719 --> 00:44:45,920
Speaker 2: following the death of her father, Jim Ersay. Her official title,

935
00:44:45,960 --> 00:44:50,879
Speaker 2: effective immediately, will be team owner and CEO. Erse's other

936
00:44:50,880 --> 00:44:54,040
Speaker 2: two daughters, Casey Foyt and Kayln Jackson, will serve in

937
00:44:54,120 --> 00:44:57,879
Speaker 2: leadership duties for the team as part of ownership.

938
00:44:58,160 --> 00:45:01,360
Speaker 1: Boy, they've got some decisions to make very very quickly.

939
00:45:01,440 --> 00:45:03,879
Speaker 2: Yeah they do. If this season goes sideways for them,

940
00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:04,480
Speaker 2: Yeah they do.

941
00:45:04,640 --> 00:45:05,520
Speaker 1: Oh my god, they do.

942
00:45:05,640 --> 00:45:07,920
Speaker 3: And who knows how they're going to handle it. And

943
00:45:07,960 --> 00:45:10,719
Speaker 3: this wasn't like Ersay had years.

944
00:45:11,120 --> 00:45:14,239
Speaker 2: It wasn't like Bob McNair and Cal McNair, where Cal

945
00:45:14,400 --> 00:45:17,400
Speaker 2: clearly had the succession plan. I mean Bob had the

946
00:45:17,560 --> 00:45:21,440
Speaker 2: succession plan and many conversations with Cal on how to

947
00:45:21,520 --> 00:45:24,239
Speaker 2: do things and what's important to Bob anyway and what

948
00:45:24,280 --> 00:45:26,480
Speaker 2: could be important to the franchise in the NFL. Not

949
00:45:26,560 --> 00:45:31,440
Speaker 2: that Ersa hasn't had these conversations with Cig and his daughters,

950
00:45:31,440 --> 00:45:34,920
Speaker 2: and obviously they've been involved, but I think the suddenness

951
00:45:34,920 --> 00:45:38,920
Speaker 2: of it does make things very interesting here, and you know, best.

952
00:45:38,719 --> 00:45:40,360
Speaker 3: Of luck to them, And I mean that, Johnny. You

953
00:45:40,400 --> 00:45:42,200
Speaker 3: know how I feel about the horseship. I know, but

954
00:45:42,560 --> 00:45:45,080
Speaker 3: I know it's a really rough situation. And they lose

955
00:45:45,120 --> 00:45:48,400
Speaker 3: their father and they're running this franchise. It's so difficult

956
00:45:48,440 --> 00:45:52,200
Speaker 3: to win in any way in the NFL, especially this way,

957
00:45:52,480 --> 00:45:54,480
Speaker 3: and they're in the midst of this.

958
00:45:54,840 --> 00:45:56,520
Speaker 1: Are we late in this ballad?

959
00:45:57,080 --> 00:46:01,840
Speaker 3: Shane Stike in regime, Stike it on purpose, diking with the.

960
00:46:01,880 --> 00:46:04,120
Speaker 1: Richardson injury for injury, Like we said, it does.

961
00:46:04,680 --> 00:46:09,200
Speaker 3: Point two, Hey, Daniel Jones gives us short term certainty

962
00:46:09,200 --> 00:46:11,279
Speaker 3: as to who the quarterback is, right, Hey, maybe they

963
00:46:11,280 --> 00:46:11,760
Speaker 3: go shopping.

964
00:46:11,760 --> 00:46:14,120
Speaker 1: Who knows, Maybe they're super aggressive. I don't know. Cousins,

965
00:46:14,160 --> 00:46:15,960
Speaker 1: Baby's gonna watch Cincinatti.

966
00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:21,440
Speaker 2: Bengals released their linebacker Jermaine Pratt one hundred and forty

967
00:46:21,480 --> 00:46:25,359
Speaker 2: three tackles last year, but he requested a trade from

968
00:46:25,360 --> 00:46:28,879
Speaker 2: the Bengals earlier this offseason, and he will he didn't

969
00:46:28,880 --> 00:46:30,480
Speaker 2: get his trade, but he got.

970
00:46:30,239 --> 00:46:31,879
Speaker 1: Released and in Green Bay.

971
00:46:31,920 --> 00:46:38,600
Speaker 2: Speaking of released Pro Bowl corner Giere Alexander released after

972
00:46:38,680 --> 00:46:40,960
Speaker 2: seven seasons. I know if you're thinking about, Oh man,

973
00:46:41,000 --> 00:46:43,719
Speaker 2: he'd be a great third corner with the Texans. Uh,

974
00:46:43,760 --> 00:46:48,080
Speaker 2: He's gonna cost a lot, a lot of money, so

975
00:46:48,840 --> 00:46:52,840
Speaker 2: don't even think about that, because if Texas thought they

976
00:46:52,840 --> 00:46:54,520
Speaker 2: could have taken him in, they would have made a

977
00:46:54,520 --> 00:46:56,080
Speaker 2: trade for him to make sure that they got him

978
00:46:56,080 --> 00:46:58,799
Speaker 2: and didn't have to negotiate for him. All Right, that's

979
00:46:58,840 --> 00:47:01,640
Speaker 2: around the NFL, and that is the show. Big thanks

980
00:47:01,920 --> 00:47:05,200
Speaker 2: to Jake Hansen for being here Tomork, obviously to all

981
00:47:05,239 --> 00:47:08,400
Speaker 2: of you for listening. We'll see you tomorrow and as always,

982
00:47:08,920 --> 00:47:09,680
Speaker 2: go Texans.
