Razzle tazzle, touchdown, the two 3 00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:12,560 Speaker 1: stands and the Texans go in front. There is no 4 00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:17,560 Speaker 1: off season for your abuston Texans game day. He's every day. 5 00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:19,320 Speaker 1: We had a lot of energy and we brought a 6 00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:24,279 Speaker 1: lot of spark for this organization. Five nights a week, 7 00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:28,520 Speaker 1: they hits keep on coming out. The Texans say they 8 00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:33,839 Speaker 1: have it and they do no it's Texans all excess. 9 00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:37,440 Speaker 1: Hello Texans, and welcome to the program.

I just Instagram for 12 00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:46,720 Speaker 1: the first time in a long time. I've been really 13 00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:48,680 Speaker 1: staying off the media that is social as far as 14 00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:51,879 Speaker 1: the posting part of it. I'm still spying on everybody. 15 00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:53,760 Speaker 1: But anyway, it's great to have you. A board training 16 00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:56,880 Speaker 1: camp is starting soon enough. It's actually underway technically, but 17 00:00:57,480 --> 00:00:59,640 Speaker 1: you wouldn't note it. You know it based on the 18 00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:03,400 Speaker 1: cover bridge. We are zooming with the coach, We're zooming 19 00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:06,320 Speaker 1: with players. A lot of zooming going on and a 20 00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:08,960 Speaker 1: lot of practice of sorts going on with the team, 21 00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:12,280 Speaker 1: but not the full coverage yet. A week from tomorrow, 22 00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:14,920 Speaker 1: we will be live from the Houston Methodist Training Center 23 00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:19,280 Speaker 1: doing Texans Training Camp live eight am, Friday, August fourteenth, 24 00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:22,080 Speaker 1: live coverage of practice. So stay tuned for that. You're 25 00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:24,960 Speaker 1: gonna hear plenty of promos about that. But right now, 26 00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:27,520 Speaker 1: let's get John Harris aboard. Let's get the General, John 27 00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:30,760 Speaker 1: mcclaim from the Houston Chronicle. Aboard and gentlemen, welcome to 28 00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:34,920 Speaker 1: the program. General, so great to have you aboard. How's 29 00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:40,960 Speaker 1: camp going for you? A camp unlike any other? Really? Well, 30 00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:45,200 Speaker 1: my camp is consisting of zoom interviews. We've had many 31 00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:50,520 Speaker 1: of them. Having eleven coaches come on Wednesday was like 32 00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:55,279 Speaker 1: speed dating, and Texas did a great job of lining 33 00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:58,080 Speaker 1: him up. And the one that blew me away was 34 00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:02,280 Speaker 1: the new Special Teams coordinator, Racy Smith. He was funny, 35 00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:06,960 Speaker 1: he had a great sense of humor, he was insightful, 36 00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:11,200 Speaker 1: and he gave a lot of good information and he 37 00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:13,880 Speaker 1: knows he's got some big shoes to fill. Brad Seely 38 00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:17,080 Speaker 1: is his mentor his dad of course, as Carl Smith, 39 00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:21,720 Speaker 1: who's on the staff, and but Tracy has been with 40 00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:25,080 Speaker 1: Brad Seely for ten or eleven years, so I don't 41 00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:27,119 Speaker 1: think they'll skip a beat, but those are some big 42 00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:31,240 Speaker 1: shoes to fill. But and then today Brandon Cooks, who's 43 00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:34,480 Speaker 1: he and David Johnson did their second and I'm writing 44 00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:38,400 Speaker 1: for tomorrow about David Johnson and Duke Johnson and being 45 00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:40,600 Speaker 1: on the field at the same time and the mismatches 46 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:43,600 Speaker 1: that'll create. But it's fun to get back in his 47 00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:46,760 Speaker 1: wing of things that do them and do the interviews. 48 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:50,720 Speaker 1: And I gotta tell you, guys, let's see, forty three 49 00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:53,960 Speaker 1: years I've been outside during training camp. I've yet to 50 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:57,480 Speaker 1: be outside. It will be next week on Thursday, if 51 00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 1: we passed her three COVID nineteen tests, would be on 52 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:02,880 Speaker 1: the field when they put on the pads. And I'm 53 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,240 Speaker 1: actually looking forward to fighting the traffic coming over there 54 00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:10,239 Speaker 1: and sitting around in the sun because it's been so long. Hey, General, 55 00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:11,840 Speaker 1: does your wife know what to do with you at 56 00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:14,960 Speaker 1: this time of year? Because typically you're you're gone at 57 00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,160 Speaker 1: this time of year. My wife keeps looking at me like, 58 00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:21,560 Speaker 1: don't you have something to do right now? I get 59 00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:26,960 Speaker 1: totally ignored, and I work out of our dining room. 60 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,680 Speaker 1: I turned it into my office. Carol turned one of 61 00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:33,040 Speaker 1: our bedrooms into her office, so the Twain meets and 62 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:36,400 Speaker 1: the den in front of the TV where where we 63 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:39,560 Speaker 1: go when we're through with what we do. So I'm 64 00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:42,720 Speaker 1: sure she's ready for me to start going over there 65 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:47,840 Speaker 1: again every day. John, you mentioned Tracy Smith and special teams. 66 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:51,000 Speaker 1: It's so crucial that the improvement of the last couple 67 00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:54,600 Speaker 1: of years that that train keeps rolling here, especially in 68 00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:57,880 Speaker 1: the year where look, every year, field position is so important. 69 00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,800 Speaker 1: But we don't know how Chris, you're gonna be on 70 00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:02,680 Speaker 1: either side of the ball. And I know all teams 71 00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,160 Speaker 1: are in the same boat relatively as far as prep 72 00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:08,640 Speaker 1: for the season goes. But the special teams factor is 73 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:13,000 Speaker 1: as important, maybe more important than ever. The last time 74 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:17,240 Speaker 1: we saw the Texans special teams, they were making humongous 75 00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:20,760 Speaker 1: plays to help Texans build a twenty four oh lead 76 00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:24,160 Speaker 1: at Kansas City and the division around the playoffs, and 77 00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:28,159 Speaker 1: then they made some horrendous plays to turn the game 78 00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:32,240 Speaker 1: around and help the chief stage the fifty one thirty 79 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:36,039 Speaker 1: one comeback. And that is going to be on their minds, 80 00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:38,760 Speaker 1: as it should be, because you have to learn from experiences. 81 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,560 Speaker 1: Just like JJ Watt said last week, you know they'd 82 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:45,159 Speaker 1: be naive if they didn't learn from that experience. And 83 00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:49,600 Speaker 1: I think not having training camp on the field, joint 84 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:54,880 Speaker 1: practices and preseason games hurts special teams more than any 85 00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:58,480 Speaker 1: area of the team offensive and defenses. They're veterans, they 86 00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:01,680 Speaker 1: have veteran players, even though there's some young guys like 87 00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:06,080 Speaker 1: Ross Blacklock and that they want to contribute. Having a 88 00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:08,159 Speaker 1: lot of veterans on both sides of the ball, even 89 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:11,800 Speaker 1: if they come from other teams, isn't advantage. But in 90 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:15,280 Speaker 1: special teams where you have such turnover every year, and 91 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:18,960 Speaker 1: they have some mainstays who contribute on special teams and 92 00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:22,640 Speaker 1: are very good, but that time is for evaluation to 93 00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:26,039 Speaker 1: see which guys make the backup roles because they play 94 00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:29,400 Speaker 1: special teams. The good thing for Tracy Smith, he knows 95 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:32,440 Speaker 1: who is kicker, punter and holder are going to be. 96 00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:35,839 Speaker 1: He's got the best holder in NFL history, and John 97 00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:39,120 Speaker 1: Weeks the same. Remember of the team, Kimi Fairbaron and 98 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:42,640 Speaker 1: in Anger, My goodness, Anger had a great season after 99 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:46,560 Speaker 1: he was resigned to replace Trevor Daniels after he'd been cut. 100 00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:50,680 Speaker 1: So the only question, DeAndre Carter, I don't think you're 101 00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:53,360 Speaker 1: going to see guys like John Reid on punt returns 102 00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:57,440 Speaker 1: and Tyler Simmons on kickoff returns be able to win 103 00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:00,640 Speaker 1: that job when they're not going to have a chance 104 00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:05,000 Speaker 1: to distinguish themselves. So I expect DeAndre Carter will hold 105 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:08,000 Speaker 1: down both of those chores. Again, John is, we can 106 00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:10,360 Speaker 1: an opportunity to go go out to practice next week, what's 107 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:12,920 Speaker 1: gonna be the first thing you watch? And I ask 108 00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,560 Speaker 1: you that I ask you every year, but typically we 109 00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:18,640 Speaker 1: get a chance at least see what the offense looks like, 110 00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:21,440 Speaker 1: DeShawn thrown, the receivers, running backs catching the ball in 111 00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:23,159 Speaker 1: the backfield. We get to watch a lot of the 112 00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:25,719 Speaker 1: seven on seven type stuff. So we all want to 113 00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:28,479 Speaker 1: see the physical We want to see the offensive line, 114 00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:31,320 Speaker 1: defensive line stuff. But all of a sudden, we're gonna 115 00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:32,480 Speaker 1: be thrown out there. There's gonna be a lot of 116 00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:34,640 Speaker 1: players we haven't seen. We haven't seen DeShawn thrown any 117 00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:36,440 Speaker 1: of these guys. It's gonna be the first time for 118 00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:38,479 Speaker 1: a lot of stuff. So what's gonna be the first 119 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:40,120 Speaker 1: thing that you want to see when you go out 120 00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:43,080 Speaker 1: there next week to training camp practice. I'm interested in 121 00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:46,039 Speaker 1: watching Watson just because you can't take your eyes off 122 00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:49,400 Speaker 1: I think because he's such a spectacular player, he's not 123 00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:52,960 Speaker 1: gonna be out there running around making any incredible plays 124 00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:56,000 Speaker 1: like he did against Oakland and Buffalo and in some 125 00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:59,200 Speaker 1: other games. But he does have new receivers Randall Cobb 126 00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:01,840 Speaker 1: and Anon Cooks. You know, I'm you're going to see 127 00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:05,479 Speaker 1: Kaholly wearing CONSERTI. He spent his rookie year on hour. 128 00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:09,800 Speaker 1: I'm interested in Ross Blacklock, all the draft choices. Jonathan Grenard, 129 00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:12,840 Speaker 1: John and Reid. Coaches are real high on John Reid 130 00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:17,000 Speaker 1: fourth round pick at cornerback. Interested in ceing Isaiah Coulter, 131 00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:21,600 Speaker 1: the rookie receiver from Rhode Island who needed an offseason 132 00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:25,000 Speaker 1: in preseason as much as any player, because he might 133 00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:28,800 Speaker 1: get some opportunities if receivers get art and they've got 134 00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:32,920 Speaker 1: receivers he've had injury issues, but may leave the new players, 135 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:35,840 Speaker 1: whether they're young, whether they come from other teams like 136 00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:39,960 Speaker 1: Cooks and Cobb and or Eric Murray. Eric Murray is 137 00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:42,840 Speaker 1: another one. You want to watch him in coverage because 138 00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:46,600 Speaker 1: they got rid of their second and third safeties and 139 00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:50,600 Speaker 1: he's under a lot of pressure, and so anybody that's new, 140 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:55,120 Speaker 1: anybody that's coming off injuries, and so those are the 141 00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:57,640 Speaker 1: ones I want to see the most. John, We are 142 00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:01,040 Speaker 1: all lucky enough to watch practice and go to every game, 143 00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:04,520 Speaker 1: but most of the fans listening digestis game through television 144 00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:07,480 Speaker 1: and the experience. I'm sure a lot of people are 145 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:09,880 Speaker 1: thinking about what it's gonna look like. So what do 146 00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:12,520 Speaker 1: you think of what you've seen so far in the 147 00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:16,040 Speaker 1: pandemic of the NBA Major League Baseball? And how do 148 00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:18,920 Speaker 1: you think the NFL is gonna look once it's presented 149 00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:21,640 Speaker 1: on TV and most people get to see it. Well, 150 00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:24,240 Speaker 1: first of all, that might be us. Two. I don't 151 00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:26,960 Speaker 1: know about you, but we haven't been told who's going 152 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,200 Speaker 1: to get to cover what game. The NFL has not 153 00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:32,760 Speaker 1: given the league a plan. Now chronicle as eight prudentials 154 00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:35,240 Speaker 1: for long games three on the road, we don't know 155 00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:37,360 Speaker 1: if we're going to be allowed those. When you're in 156 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:40,720 Speaker 1: a press box and you've got to be six feet apart, 157 00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:43,480 Speaker 1: you know, And the truth is you're not gonna be 158 00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:45,959 Speaker 1: six feet apart. You're in all those boos that are 159 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:50,040 Speaker 1: like phone booths. I got plenty of room. Yeah, I've 160 00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:52,880 Speaker 1: seen it. And you and Andre and Robert are like 161 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:56,680 Speaker 1: sardines up there, and so I don't really was serious. 162 00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:59,240 Speaker 1: You know, you guys, how are you getting a social distance? 163 00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:02,840 Speaker 1: So that hasn't been determined by the NFL yet, And 164 00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:06,439 Speaker 1: I know the first game in Kansas City is it's big. 165 00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:09,679 Speaker 1: I want to be there because it's Thursday night. There 166 00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:11,800 Speaker 1: will be no fans in the stands, there will be 167 00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:15,240 Speaker 1: protests players in the league. Belle O'Brien is vowed to 168 00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:18,760 Speaker 1: take a knee. So there's all kinds of things off 169 00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:22,920 Speaker 1: the field, the actual product on the field. I watch baseball, 170 00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:27,080 Speaker 1: I watch basketball, I've watched hockey. There's no difference. You know, 171 00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:31,320 Speaker 1: Fox on baseball has a little background noise, but it's 172 00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:34,920 Speaker 1: not intrusive. I don't even notice it now, And so 173 00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:39,600 Speaker 1: I think the games are too good to be affected 174 00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:43,280 Speaker 1: negatively for the TV viewer because they don't have fans 175 00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:46,600 Speaker 1: in the stands. That would affect the athletes themselves, but 176 00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:50,040 Speaker 1: more than it would fans. But once they get locked in, 177 00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:53,480 Speaker 1: they're not paying attention to that. The big deal, of course, 178 00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:56,719 Speaker 1: is no team's got it really a home field advantage 179 00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:59,400 Speaker 1: because of the crowd, and they always say that's worth 180 00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:02,680 Speaker 1: three points. General, you can come down to the sideline 181 00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:04,160 Speaker 1: with me because it sounds like there aren't going to 182 00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:06,520 Speaker 1: be anybody down there. I should be able to be 183 00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:09,520 Speaker 1: socially distanced, hopefully all year long, because it'll be like 184 00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:11,040 Speaker 1: five people on it, which you'd be kind of nice 185 00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:14,840 Speaker 1: for once because it gets ye crowded. Should be able 186 00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:17,280 Speaker 1: to hear a lot more, too, yes than you do 187 00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:21,400 Speaker 1: when there's seventy seventy seven thousand fans in harrow ed Stadium, 188 00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:23,880 Speaker 1: the Sea of Red. When it's hard for you to 189 00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:26,960 Speaker 1: hear down there. Now, you should be able to hear 190 00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:31,240 Speaker 1: every almost everything. And I like that. I absolutely love that. 191 00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:34,000 Speaker 1: Speaking of hearing things, John, today we got a chance 192 00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:38,320 Speaker 1: to hear from Brandy Cooks, David Johnson, and coach o'bron 193 00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:40,320 Speaker 1: stick with the players. Was there anything that you took 194 00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:43,320 Speaker 1: out of the conversation today with those two players, Brandy 195 00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:44,920 Speaker 1: Cooks and David Johnson. I know it's a lot of 196 00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:46,400 Speaker 1: you know, we're gonna do this, we're gonna do that 197 00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:48,040 Speaker 1: sort of thing. But was there anything that stood out 198 00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:51,440 Speaker 1: in the conversation with those two new players to the Texans. 199 00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:55,720 Speaker 1: I asked Brandon Cooks because two years ago when he 200 00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:58,720 Speaker 1: was at the Rams and they went to the Super Bowl, 201 00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:01,880 Speaker 1: David Johnson played every game. He had almost fourteen hundred 202 00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:05,480 Speaker 1: yards rushing him, receiving him, stored ten touchdowns. I believe 203 00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:09,600 Speaker 1: the Texans would take that this season, rotating with Duke Johnson, 204 00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:12,000 Speaker 1: which he will do, and a lot of times they'll 205 00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:16,280 Speaker 1: be on the field together. And I thought. I asked 206 00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:20,440 Speaker 1: him about the pressure of always being being equated with 207 00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:24,080 Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins, and he admitted it was, but he also said, 208 00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:28,440 Speaker 1: I've been under pressure since two sixteen. I liked the pressure. 209 00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:32,000 Speaker 1: It makes me want to be better and compete more, 210 00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:35,600 Speaker 1: do everything I again to prove doubters wrong, and Bill 211 00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:39,920 Speaker 1: O'Brien in the organization right. And in twenty eighteen, you know, 212 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:43,560 Speaker 1: he had over two thousand yards and twenty touchdowns, And 213 00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:46,680 Speaker 1: so maybe he can get back somewhere close to that 214 00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:49,199 Speaker 1: if he can stay healthy. But he's got a lot 215 00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:53,600 Speaker 1: to prove. And I know watching the idea of Tim 216 00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:56,559 Speaker 1: Kelly having two running backs who can line up anywhere 217 00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:59,480 Speaker 1: on the field and catch almost as well as wide 218 00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:03,720 Speaker 1: receiver has got to be so intriguing for him. How 219 00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:06,640 Speaker 1: to utilize them and against what packages? And then what 220 00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:09,560 Speaker 1: do defenses do? Stay in the base defense, go to 221 00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:12,640 Speaker 1: a sub package and I ask Brandon Coax about going 222 00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:16,079 Speaker 1: against David Johnson, and when he did, and of course 223 00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:18,720 Speaker 1: he prays the heck out of him and talk the 224 00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:22,880 Speaker 1: same thing about how dangerous he is as a receiver, 225 00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:26,160 Speaker 1: and now he's such a smart route runner, and he 226 00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:30,080 Speaker 1: has great hands, and that versatility is such an advantage, 227 00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:34,160 Speaker 1: and he, like everybody else, is excited about seeing Johnson 228 00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:38,080 Speaker 1: Johnson on the field together. Well, if both those guys 229 00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:41,199 Speaker 1: are completely healthy and with all the options you have 230 00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:44,320 Speaker 1: and the tight end group, you wonder how that affects 231 00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:48,280 Speaker 1: playing time or formations with the receiving group. John Because 232 00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:51,480 Speaker 1: if everybody's healthy and there are no trades, how do 233 00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:56,680 Speaker 1: you think they carve up playing time or formation appearances 234 00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:59,360 Speaker 1: with this receiving crew. Because you have four veterans who 235 00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:01,360 Speaker 1: can play. Who knows what the other guys are gonna do. 236 00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:04,360 Speaker 1: I think they'll come out in three wides, and that'll 237 00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:07,360 Speaker 1: be Cooks and Fuller outside and Cobb in the slot, 238 00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:11,120 Speaker 1: Darren Fells at tight end, and David Johnson and running back. 239 00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:15,199 Speaker 1: They can go four receivers with Kenny Stills giving them 240 00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:19,040 Speaker 1: three guys that ran into four threes at their combine, 241 00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:23,079 Speaker 1: and then Cobb, who was a slow four point four six, 242 00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:26,400 Speaker 1: and then they could bring in Duke and David nine times. 243 00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:30,079 Speaker 1: Last year they started falls in Jordan Nakins at tight end. 244 00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:33,760 Speaker 1: The biggest issue they got, the biggest problem other than 245 00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:37,480 Speaker 1: potential injuries, is they only got one football For having 246 00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:40,480 Speaker 1: all those weapons that they've got on offense. This is 247 00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:44,439 Speaker 1: a great, great opportunity for Tim Kelly calling players to 248 00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:47,600 Speaker 1: plays for the first time. Bill O'Brien has told me 249 00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:50,360 Speaker 1: in the past he thinks Tim Kelly's got what it 250 00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:52,760 Speaker 1: takes to be a head coach. Now he says the 251 00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:56,200 Speaker 1: same thing about Anthony Weaver. So it is a tremendous 252 00:13:56,280 --> 00:14:01,280 Speaker 1: opportunity for Kelly to get some re cognition by helping 253 00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:04,320 Speaker 1: this offense be one of the most prolific in the NFL. 254 00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:07,280 Speaker 1: John in your opinion, where does Lonnie Johnson fit on 255 00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:11,520 Speaker 1: this defense? I think they when they're going up against 256 00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:15,319 Speaker 1: three wides, they would have him, Conley and Roby, probably 257 00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:19,000 Speaker 1: Robi covering the slot. Lonnie's working really hard in the 258 00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:21,720 Speaker 1: off season. You know, he was put in a very 259 00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:26,320 Speaker 1: difficult situation at Kansas City to Sean Gibson was out, 260 00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:30,160 Speaker 1: Julilady was out, so he had to help try to 261 00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:34,080 Speaker 1: cover Travis Kelsey and it was a mismatch. And if 262 00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:37,920 Speaker 1: he uses that as a learning experience, that'll make him better. 263 00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:41,320 Speaker 1: You guys know, most players make their biggest improvement going 264 00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:45,120 Speaker 1: into that second season, but they need him. I envisioned 265 00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:49,160 Speaker 1: Lonnie playing corner and playing safety, playing around the line 266 00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:52,880 Speaker 1: of scrimmage, playing on the boundary, whatever he can handle 267 00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:57,960 Speaker 1: mentally after the virtual offseason program, and then physically, I 268 00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:01,280 Speaker 1: think we're going to say a big contribution from him. Well. 269 00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:03,880 Speaker 1: In Week two twenty sixteen, they did a nice job 270 00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:06,800 Speaker 1: against Kelsey when the Chiefs visited NRG Stadium. That was 271 00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:08,840 Speaker 1: a good win at the time. You know, people forget 272 00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:10,680 Speaker 1: about these things, but that was a real nice win 273 00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:13,880 Speaker 1: for the Texans that day, shutting down the Chiefs or 274 00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:16,080 Speaker 1: at least slowing them down enough to get the victory. 275 00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:19,880 Speaker 1: How do you think they handed handle Kelsey September tenth, 276 00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:22,520 Speaker 1: based on what you just said, Is it one of 277 00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:24,680 Speaker 1: the safeties? Is it Reid? Is that Murray? Is it 278 00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:27,160 Speaker 1: gonna be Lonnie again? What do you think as far 279 00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:30,640 Speaker 1: as where we stand right now, Justin Reid is their 280 00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:34,280 Speaker 1: best player in the secondary. He's right there with Bradley Roby. 281 00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:37,880 Speaker 1: Roby's not going to cover him. Zach Cunningham can't cover him, 282 00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:41,680 Speaker 1: even though he's the best in coverage the linebacker. Maybe 283 00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:45,320 Speaker 1: Eric Murray. I don't know they've got They showed they 284 00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:47,960 Speaker 1: have confidence in Eric Murray, even though he's never been 285 00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:51,240 Speaker 1: a regular starter. But he's going back to Kansas City 286 00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:54,280 Speaker 1: and maybe he wants to put on a show. I'm 287 00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:59,280 Speaker 1: guessing Dell try different players. Roby would cover Tyree Hill, 288 00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:01,800 Speaker 1: He's done that a lot when he was in Denver 289 00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:05,080 Speaker 1: and here last year. But they've got to get a 290 00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:08,560 Speaker 1: handle on Kelsey, and I'm not so sure. I wouldn't 291 00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:12,640 Speaker 1: double it John. I think the offensive line could be 292 00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:14,720 Speaker 1: a major story for this team, but it feels like 293 00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:17,600 Speaker 1: it's the least talked about thing. Maybe it's because we 294 00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:19,840 Speaker 1: haven't seen it, because we haven't seen him in practice, 295 00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:22,360 Speaker 1: But I feel like the continuity of the offensive line 296 00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:28,200 Speaker 1: is maybe a story that's undersold, under not told. I 297 00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:30,280 Speaker 1: don't know what are your thoughts about the offensive line? 298 00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:32,640 Speaker 1: Am I right in my thought? Well? I did a 299 00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:34,560 Speaker 1: column on him a couple of weeks ago about all 300 00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:36,520 Speaker 1: of them being back in tack for the first time 301 00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:40,360 Speaker 1: since two thousand and eleven and significance of that. I 302 00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:43,280 Speaker 1: think the fact that they are all back and we 303 00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:46,240 Speaker 1: know where they're gonna play is one reason they're not 304 00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:50,440 Speaker 1: getting as much attention. And look at this time last year, 305 00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:56,680 Speaker 1: Laremie Tunzil's in Miami, Max Sharping was playing center, right tackle, 306 00:16:56,920 --> 00:17:01,440 Speaker 1: Titus Howard's playing right tackle, left tack guard. They didn't 307 00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:04,240 Speaker 1: know where everybody's gonna end up, and so then they 308 00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:08,040 Speaker 1: figured it out and now there's no questions. The luckiest 309 00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:12,320 Speaker 1: guy on the staff is Mike Devlin. After everything he's 310 00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:15,560 Speaker 1: been through as the offensive line coach, the mixing and 311 00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:18,960 Speaker 1: the matching, and they're trying to cover up for ineptness 312 00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:22,959 Speaker 1: or injuries. Mike has got his guys, He's got his depth, 313 00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:26,920 Speaker 1: and I think that if you look at it, if 314 00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:31,159 Speaker 1: they stay healthy, they're gonna have tremendous improvement. They showed 315 00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:37,080 Speaker 1: a lot of improvement last year. You know they Deshaun Watson, 316 00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:40,280 Speaker 1: by the nature of the way he plays, creates some sacks, 317 00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:42,960 Speaker 1: but he gets away from some sacks too, And I 318 00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:46,520 Speaker 1: think part of the maturation projects process for Watson and 319 00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:49,440 Speaker 1: his fourth season is doing a better job of getting 320 00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:52,080 Speaker 1: rid of the ball quicker, even though he likes to 321 00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:54,840 Speaker 1: throw the ball down the field. And as long as 322 00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:58,640 Speaker 1: Laramie Tunsil doesn't set any records for jumping off sides, 323 00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:02,280 Speaker 1: I think there's Lyne couldn't move into the upperrush line. 324 00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:06,680 Speaker 1: Anything catching your attention in the division. Vic Beasley out 325 00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:09,439 Speaker 1: for the Titans, still that kind of thing. How do 326 00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:11,920 Speaker 1: you think the competition is sizing up so far? John? 327 00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:16,560 Speaker 1: That's weird. You know they've now heard from him. You know, 328 00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:19,400 Speaker 1: I don't know if he's got COVID nineteen and he's 329 00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:22,199 Speaker 1: not coming in. I don't know what the deal is, 330 00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:24,680 Speaker 1: and they don't know what the deal is. But they 331 00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:26,760 Speaker 1: paid him six million. They wanted him to be an 332 00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:31,480 Speaker 1: outside pass rusher. They're still interested in Jadeveon Clowney, but 333 00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:35,840 Speaker 1: not on the price tag to Clowney has Right now, 334 00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:38,240 Speaker 1: I'd love to see them get Clowney and see him 335 00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:43,760 Speaker 1: going against Larmie Tunsil twice the season and the calls. 336 00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:46,320 Speaker 1: I know you wouldn't like to see that. You just 337 00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:49,000 Speaker 1: donal you always wanting to get rid of Andrew Luck 338 00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:51,800 Speaker 1: and you finally get rid of him. Now they bring 339 00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:55,640 Speaker 1: in Philip Rivers. They're pinning so much on rivers. If 340 00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:58,399 Speaker 1: he's like David Johnson and he can play as he 341 00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:02,040 Speaker 1: did in twenty eighteen, they'll compete for the defensive for 342 00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:05,119 Speaker 1: the ANFC South title. If he does not play like 343 00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:08,159 Speaker 1: he played in eighteen, he plays like he played last season, 344 00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:12,280 Speaker 1: they'll be third place and then Jacksonville. They had twelve 345 00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:16,199 Speaker 1: players on the COVID nineteen list, Texans haven't had any, 346 00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:19,920 Speaker 1: and Texans had any. Vanderd's the only players opted out. 347 00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:23,720 Speaker 1: Jaguars I think had a couple, so everybody thinks that 348 00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:26,879 Speaker 1: Jaguars are gonna finish last. I look for it to 349 00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:29,919 Speaker 1: be a three team race to come down between the 350 00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:32,960 Speaker 1: Texans and Titans.

But as you mentioned, Bill O'Brien 464 00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:29,280 Speaker 1: did talk about some things with the media via zoom 465 00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:32,359 Speaker 1: today and one of the subjects that came up, of course, 466 00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:35,000 Speaker 1: with the appearance of David Johnson today was Johnson and 467 00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:37,840 Speaker 1: Johnson in the backfield, Duke and David, how are they 468 00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:40,600 Speaker 1: going to be together? What's the situation? Here's what the 469 00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:43,240 Speaker 1: coach had to say. Yeah, we've we've worked hard in 470 00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:46,240 Speaker 1: the offseason to um, you know, come up with different packages, 471 00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:49,200 Speaker 1: you know, relative to some of the things we've done 472 00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:51,080 Speaker 1: in the past, and you know some of those packages 473 00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:54,000 Speaker 1: obviously involved David and Duke. Both guys are I believe, 474 00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:57,399 Speaker 1: three down backs. They can play on all all three downs. 475 00:26:57,440 --> 00:26:59,639 Speaker 1: They can they can run it, they can catch the 476 00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:04,679 Speaker 1: ball backfield. Really smart guys, really good communicators. I would say, 477 00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:07,280 Speaker 1: you know, David's come in here and been very impressive 478 00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:11,119 Speaker 1: in great, fantastic shape, smart, you know, really picking up 479 00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:12,919 Speaker 1: the offense well, and we saw that in the spring. 480 00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:15,439 Speaker 1: But to see him in here in the walkthroughs and 481 00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:17,560 Speaker 1: things that we're doing, you know, I think he has 482 00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:20,000 Speaker 1: high expectations for himself. That's the type of guy is 483 00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:23,359 Speaker 1: and we have high expectations for him. All right, just 484 00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:26,440 Speaker 1: so people know, they're doing some walkthrough stuff. Now they're 485 00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:30,280 Speaker 1: gonna ramp up and do some OTA non pad type practices, 486 00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:33,040 Speaker 1: and by the first time we see them, which will 487 00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:36,120 Speaker 1: be Friday next week, they'll be in full pads. That's 488 00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:38,960 Speaker 1: never happened before. Okay, I've never showed up to training 489 00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:41,920 Speaker 1: camp in day one they're in pads. But that's basically 490 00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:44,879 Speaker 1: what we're getting as far as the view this is 491 00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:49,520 Speaker 1: going to be for all teams the most secretive camp ever, 492 00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:52,840 Speaker 1: you're gonna get the least amount of looks from the 493 00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:58,160 Speaker 1: media or the fans, both of the team and opening 494 00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:00,639 Speaker 1: day shows up. Somebody could be running the wishbone for 495 00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:02,800 Speaker 1: all you know. I mean, it is gonna be wild 496 00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:05,399 Speaker 1: stuff to see how people line up, and Johnny, they 497 00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:06,919 Speaker 1: got to take advantage of it. I mean, this is 498 00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:10,120 Speaker 1: I'm sure all the coaches are excited about that. Now 499 00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:13,040 Speaker 1: there will be scrimmages, and some teams will have more 500 00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:16,199 Speaker 1: coverage of those scrimmages than others. But I'm thinking that 501 00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:17,960 Speaker 1: they're they're gonna want to keep the coverage of that 502 00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:21,920 Speaker 1: to a minimum because this is a huge competitive advantage 503 00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:24,159 Speaker 1: in a preseason where you feel like you don't have 504 00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:27,879 Speaker 1: many right and guess who's getting shut down with his 505 00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:31,120 Speaker 1: Harris Hits. I can imagine with each and every practice 506 00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:34,280 Speaker 1: I can I can tell you I've I've already prepared 507 00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:37,879 Speaker 1: myself for it. Here's here's Harris Hits. This year, the 508 00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:43,160 Speaker 1: sun was shining, people were playing football. That's a pass. 509 00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:48,280 Speaker 1: There amy tons of war pads today. Zach Cuttingham made 510 00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:55,120 Speaker 1: a tackle. Here's the thing, Mark, I don't have any 511 00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:58,400 Speaker 1: problem with it. Because I absolutely, without a doubt agree 512 00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:02,440 Speaker 1: with you, no doubt. I can't remember who it was, 513 00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:05,560 Speaker 1: if it was Deep or Drew or you had sent 514 00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:09,160 Speaker 1: a scent in a group text a tweet from the 515 00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:15,040 Speaker 1: Browns saying that they were going to allow live practices 516 00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:20,200 Speaker 1: to be filmed, and I immediately said, they'll do that 517 00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:23,080 Speaker 1: once and then that'll be it, because there will be 518 00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:27,640 Speaker 1: thirty one teams, or maybe not thirty one teams, because 519 00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:29,440 Speaker 1: thirty one teams aren't gonna play the Browns, but the 520 00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:32,920 Speaker 1: other thirteen teams on the Browns schedule, they're gonna end 521 00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:37,880 Speaker 1: up having like, um, you know hate Steelers account you 522 00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:40,480 Speaker 1: know two three, six five, and it's gonna be the 523 00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:44,960 Speaker 1: Steelers other you know, scouts watching it, because I would heck, 524 00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:47,080 Speaker 1: I mean I might just to try and get something 525 00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:49,920 Speaker 1: on the Browns. No, I mean, look, Kevin Stefanski, we 526 00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:52,560 Speaker 1: know is gonna run Gary Kubiak type stuff, and you 527 00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:55,400 Speaker 1: know Mike and Kyle Shanahan type stuff. We've seen the 528 00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:57,800 Speaker 1: Browns play before. We know what Baker Mayfield has. But 529 00:29:58,000 --> 00:29:59,520 Speaker 1: you know, there might be that one guy that you 530 00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:03,000 Speaker 1: see the Browns that they may want to try and 531 00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:05,640 Speaker 1: sneak through onto their practice squad and you see them 532 00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:09,080 Speaker 1: and you're like, you know, I like that guy. I 533 00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:11,640 Speaker 1: like that guy. Now you get an opportunity to do 534 00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:14,200 Speaker 1: that in all the preseason games. You get an opportunity 535 00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:17,760 Speaker 1: to do that. Enjoy practices. Well, with those out the window, 536 00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:20,760 Speaker 1: how are you going to get information on other players 537 00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:23,080 Speaker 1: throughout the league? Well if the other teams in the 538 00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:25,440 Speaker 1: league hand it to you, and that's what the Browns 539 00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:28,320 Speaker 1: are doing. The Browns are handing it to you on 540 00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:32,160 Speaker 1: a platter. So I get what they're doing. I totally understand. 541 00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:34,360 Speaker 1: The fans want to be involved, and the Browns fans 542 00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:36,040 Speaker 1: are great fans. They want to be involved. But you 543 00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:38,520 Speaker 1: know who also wants to be involved, The Texans fans 544 00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:40,880 Speaker 1: and all of us. We all want to be involved. 545 00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:43,160 Speaker 1: But we also know that, you know what, if we're 546 00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:45,200 Speaker 1: sitting on a little secretive as we go into September 547 00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:48,840 Speaker 1: tenth against the Chiefs, so be it. So be it. Yeah, 548 00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:52,320 Speaker 1: So from that perspective, it's gonna be as secretive as ever. 549 00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:54,640 Speaker 1: The flip side of that is there's gonna be some 550 00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:57,720 Speaker 1: young players and some unknown players that you know. I 551 00:30:57,720 --> 00:30:59,600 Speaker 1: think of Victor Cruz a couple of years ago. Remember 552 00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:01,640 Speaker 1: Victor Cruise when he was with the Giants and the 553 00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:05,520 Speaker 1: second he was the second year actually and were they 554 00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:07,920 Speaker 1: were going against the Jets and hard knocks and Victor 555 00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:11,840 Speaker 1: Cruze lights them up. No, it was his rookie year. 556 00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:14,080 Speaker 1: He lights him up. Well, the next year, Victor Cruz 557 00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:16,640 Speaker 1: is up on the big squad and he's tearing it up. 558 00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:18,480 Speaker 1: He's going to Pro Bowls, playing in the slot and 559 00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:21,440 Speaker 1: was tremendous. But we had never known who Victor Cruz was. 560 00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:24,120 Speaker 1: If he doesn't show up against the Jets on that 561 00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:28,200 Speaker 1: preseason game that ended up on Hartis that year, yeahs, 562 00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:33,800 Speaker 1: absolutely so it. You're not gonna have those stories. You're 563 00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:36,200 Speaker 1: not gonna have those players. Um, And I got into 564 00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:39,160 Speaker 1: a point with Harris hits It. I really I couldn't 565 00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:43,600 Speaker 1: mention those guys because I knew, and I've been told 566 00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:47,920 Speaker 1: many times there are people reading to just know who 567 00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:50,400 Speaker 1: is making plays, Who's somebody we should keep an eye 568 00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:54,400 Speaker 1: on because sense, Yeah, let's say, if Victor Cruz doesn't 569 00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:56,560 Speaker 1: make plays in a preseason game, but he's letting it 570 00:31:56,640 --> 00:31:59,360 Speaker 1: up in practice, You'll be like, you know, at least 571 00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:01,000 Speaker 1: we can get him on the practice squad, or maybe 572 00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:03,080 Speaker 1: we want them on the active roster anyway. I mean, 573 00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:06,440 Speaker 1: who knows. And some teams are deeper than others, and 574 00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:08,880 Speaker 1: you know, you might want to figure out a way 575 00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:11,120 Speaker 1: to keep these guys around. Okay, let's get to glass 576 00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:16,120 Speaker 1: half folk, glass half empty here, as here's the glass 577 00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:19,480 Speaker 1: building up. All right, all right, we're gonna go glass 578 00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:24,280 Speaker 1: half full here. Johnny on the Colts, Okay, give me 579 00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:26,920 Speaker 1: the glass half full, and we're gonna I want to 580 00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:28,440 Speaker 1: do these quick, so I want to get through all three, 581 00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:31,120 Speaker 1: you know. I guess we can do the Texans in 582 00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:33,720 Speaker 1: the next segment or tomorrow or something. But Colts glass 583 00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:36,560 Speaker 1: half Folk go. Darius Leonard is one of the best 584 00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:38,840 Speaker 1: linebackers in the league. Quinn Nelson might be the best 585 00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:41,239 Speaker 1: offensive lineman in the league. I think the Colts up 586 00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:44,440 Speaker 1: front of the front seven will be as athletic as 587 00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:48,000 Speaker 1: any team the Texans will face this year, maybe including 588 00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:51,280 Speaker 1: the Steelers. Steelers front seven is gonna be exceptional as well. 589 00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:54,120 Speaker 1: You've got Philip Rivers. If Philip is able to channel 590 00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:57,280 Speaker 1: twenty eighteen Philip Rivers, the Colts offense is gonna be very, 591 00:32:57,680 --> 00:33:01,400 Speaker 1: very very difficult to st t Y Hilton has something 592 00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:05,400 Speaker 1: to prove and Marlon Mack now joins Jonathan Taylor. Should 593 00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:08,920 Speaker 1: say Jonathan Taylor now joins Marlon Mack in the backfield, 594 00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:12,719 Speaker 1: which behind that offensive line one of the best, arguably 595 00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:15,520 Speaker 1: top five in the league. Those two could run the 596 00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:18,840 Speaker 1: rock a lot, a lot going off for the Indianapolis Colts. 597 00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:23,000 Speaker 1: All right, giving a glass half empty on the Indianapolis Colts, 598 00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:26,680 Speaker 1: I am not convinced that the Colts secondary can really 599 00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:30,240 Speaker 1: stop anybody right now. I know they added Xavier Rhodes. 600 00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:32,360 Speaker 1: I think he's on the back not even the back 601 00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:34,560 Speaker 1: nine of his career. I think he's on whole sixteen 602 00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:36,840 Speaker 1: seventeen eighteen. He did not play well the last couple 603 00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:38,840 Speaker 1: of years the Vikings. He went to the Pro Bowl 604 00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:42,080 Speaker 1: based on reputation. I think Rock yu Sein is not 605 00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:45,600 Speaker 1: quite where he needs to be. I think that the 606 00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:48,200 Speaker 1: receivers for the Colts, if t Y Hilton's banged up, 607 00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:50,760 Speaker 1: they're gonna have to rely on a rookie in Michael Pittman. 608 00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:52,560 Speaker 1: And I'm not sold that that's going to be the 609 00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:55,720 Speaker 1: case that they're gonna be able to do that. And 610 00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:59,600 Speaker 1: if Philip Rivers of twenty nineteen shows up for the Colts, 611 00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:03,480 Speaker 1: then their offense is really going to struggle because they're 612 00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:05,720 Speaker 1: going to turn a ball over and give it back 613 00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:08,200 Speaker 1: to opposing offenses. And that's not gonna be good. That's 614 00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:09,680 Speaker 1: gonna put that defense out on the field and look 615 00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:11,279 Speaker 1: for As good as I think that front seven is 616 00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:13,880 Speaker 1: an athletic as it is, I still think that you 617 00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:16,200 Speaker 1: can move the football on them. I don't think they're 618 00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:18,359 Speaker 1: exceedingly big, so I still think you can run the ball. 619 00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:21,239 Speaker 1: And I think Darius Leonard, for as great as he is, 620 00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:25,600 Speaker 1: I do think there are times where he's a little more. 621 00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:29,120 Speaker 1: It's the right way of saying this. He's a little 622 00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:33,799 Speaker 1: He'll make tackle seven eight yards downfield, and instead of 623 00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:38,160 Speaker 1: always being the maniac where I'm going, I got where 624 00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:40,880 Speaker 1: you're going. Glass half glass half afety. See I did 625 00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:43,960 Speaker 1: that pretty quickly. Yes, Yes, that was very good. Philip 626 00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:47,680 Speaker 1: Rivers sixty six percent completion rate last year. Now, I 627 00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:49,440 Speaker 1: was talking about Taylor the Boys of the Cults today 628 00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:51,560 Speaker 1: we were talking about other stuff radio during the COVID 629 00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:54,360 Speaker 1: and how they're doing it. By the way, they're not 630 00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:59,200 Speaker 1: traveling at all, likelihood the radio team because David encouraged 631 00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:01,160 Speaker 1: not to just giving his stuff on the air. This 632 00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:04,600 Speaker 1: inside baseball stuff. But he feels like they can drive 633 00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:06,560 Speaker 1: to at least five road games because they're right in 634 00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:08,520 Speaker 1: the middle of everything and you're playing all these Rust 635 00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:10,600 Speaker 1: Belt teams, so you can just take a three four 636 00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:12,400 Speaker 1: hour drive. I'm like, I'd be doing that in a 637 00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:14,480 Speaker 1: hot second. Are you kidding? If I could jump in 638 00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:16,480 Speaker 1: a car and go to five of my road games, 639 00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:21,560 Speaker 1: I'd probably do that most of the time. But anyway, 640 00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:25,080 Speaker 1: it'll be interesting to see how they handle it. So, 641 00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:29,440 Speaker 1: but he pointed out one thing about them. The Colts 642 00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:32,120 Speaker 1: played eleven one score games last year. They were five 643 00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:35,640 Speaker 1: and six in those games. Jacoby Brissett, you know, the 644 00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:39,120 Speaker 1: game against us on Thursday night, he thought his longest 645 00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:41,640 Speaker 1: pass was twelve yards or something like that. That was. 646 00:35:42,239 --> 00:35:46,560 Speaker 1: And Philip Rivers is definitely better than Jacoby Brissette. And 647 00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:48,879 Speaker 1: no matter what, at thirty eight years old, he's got 648 00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:51,319 Speaker 1: to be right. Because Jacoby didn't play well last year 649 00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:52,759 Speaker 1: for them. I know he's banged up, and I think 650 00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:55,040 Speaker 1: that was a factor as well. But Jacoby has never 651 00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:58,240 Speaker 1: been more than a sixty one percent completion passer. Rivers 652 00:35:58,239 --> 00:36:01,960 Speaker 1: sixty six percent last year. However, here's the half empty 653 00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:05,759 Speaker 1: on Rivers last year twenty picks. My goodness, if that 654 00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:08,800 Speaker 1: kind of thing continues, you know, you have no hope. 655 00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:12,040 Speaker 1: Because as much as Jacoby is not, you know, your 656 00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:14,640 Speaker 1: big game passer. You know, he took care of the 657 00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:17,400 Speaker 1: football interception wise last year. All right, let's get to 658 00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:19,960 Speaker 1: our next team of glass half empty, glass half full. 659 00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:25,799 Speaker 1: All right, let's go this way. The Tennessee Titans. Give 660 00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:30,400 Speaker 1: me the glass half full on Tennessee. Johnny Derrick Henry 661 00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:33,480 Speaker 1: is still the man. He's still the king who's rushing 662 00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:35,799 Speaker 1: leader from last year. I think he will fall off 663 00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:38,680 Speaker 1: a little bit because of all of the tread off 664 00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:41,120 Speaker 1: the tire head last year over four in the touches. However, 665 00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:44,320 Speaker 1: I do think he is still someone to be reckoned with. 666 00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:45,920 Speaker 1: He is a freak of nature and I think he's 667 00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:47,759 Speaker 1: the kind of guy that if anybody's going to come 668 00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:50,960 Speaker 1: back from such usage last year, it's going to be him. 669 00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:53,040 Speaker 1: I think A. J. Brown is emerging and going to 670 00:36:53,120 --> 00:36:54,880 Speaker 1: emerge as one of the better receivers and now on 671 00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:57,760 Speaker 1: the AFC South, in the AFC and in the NFL, 672 00:36:58,560 --> 00:37:00,920 Speaker 1: I think Ryan Tannehill doesn't enough to keep the train 673 00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:03,719 Speaker 1: on the tracks, and with that offensive line that will 674 00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:06,879 Speaker 1: just get better with Nate Davis going into the second 675 00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:09,160 Speaker 1: year at guard, Ben Jones still at center, Taylor Uwan 676 00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:11,880 Speaker 1: Roger Staffeld in the second year with the team, and 677 00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:15,399 Speaker 1: then they added Isaiah Wilson, one of the freakiest big 678 00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:18,279 Speaker 1: guys you've ever seen. Offensively in run it back mode, 679 00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:21,080 Speaker 1: I think they could be very very good defensively. Jeffrey 680 00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:24,560 Speaker 1: Simmons is an absolute dude up front. I think he 681 00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:27,279 Speaker 1: has a superstar. I think Harold Landry has really good 682 00:37:27,280 --> 00:37:30,319 Speaker 1: pass rush effort off the edge, and or linebackers are 683 00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:34,440 Speaker 1: athletic with a stud in the secondary in Kevin Byard. 684 00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:37,040 Speaker 1: And I'll say it, I think the Titans are very 685 00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:40,719 Speaker 1: very well coached. They prepare very well. Vrabel gets everything 686 00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:44,480 Speaker 1: out of that team. He gets every ounce of orange 687 00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:48,120 Speaker 1: juice out of one singular orange every single week. And 688 00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:51,279 Speaker 1: that's what makes them very scary to face. All Right, 689 00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:54,680 Speaker 1: So the glass half empty on the team from Nashville. 690 00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:57,320 Speaker 1: I think Henry is gonna have some fall off. It 691 00:37:57,400 --> 00:38:01,280 Speaker 1: just depends on how far it is. Because hardly anybody, 692 00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:03,560 Speaker 1: if anybody, has ever come back from four hundred touches 693 00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:07,960 Speaker 1: in a season and then been even as good or 694 00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:12,360 Speaker 1: better than that runner was the year before. Ryan Tannehill 695 00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:16,840 Speaker 1: has been just average. I mean, he really was able 696 00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:20,240 Speaker 1: to capitalize on Henry, and if Henry is slowed down, 697 00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:24,200 Speaker 1: then the pressure goes all on Ryan Tannehill. And that's 698 00:38:24,280 --> 00:38:27,239 Speaker 1: never been a forte for his He was perfect when 699 00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:29,480 Speaker 1: Henry was leading to charge. But if Henry gets slowed 700 00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:33,200 Speaker 1: up for any reason, then Tannehill has the pressure and 701 00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:36,680 Speaker 1: that could be very, very difficult for him. Defensively, I'm 702 00:38:36,719 --> 00:38:39,759 Speaker 1: not buying the Titans front seven. I'm not buying him. 703 00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:41,960 Speaker 1: I don't especially the pass rush. I don't know where 704 00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:44,000 Speaker 1: the pass rush is going to come from outside of 705 00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:46,760 Speaker 1: Harold Landry, especially if Vic Beasley stays away from the team, 706 00:38:47,160 --> 00:38:49,879 Speaker 1: And I don't think the Titans can cover. I really don't. 707 00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:52,399 Speaker 1: I don't think of Dori Jackson. I mean, Logan Ryan, 708 00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:54,880 Speaker 1: the player's raided as the sixtieth player in the league, 709 00:38:54,960 --> 00:38:57,799 Speaker 1: and the Titans aren't even bringing him back. And I 710 00:38:57,840 --> 00:39:00,439 Speaker 1: don't know what they're gonna do in the secondary because 711 00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:03,880 Speaker 1: I'm not I'm just not buying them as cover guys. 712 00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:06,719 Speaker 1: When they had Logan Ryan and Dorry Jackson and Malcolm Butler, 713 00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:08,960 Speaker 1: you feel like, oh, okay, maybe they'll find I just 714 00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:10,640 Speaker 1: don't see it. I don't think any of the three 715 00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:12,719 Speaker 1: of them actually cover anybody in long Ryan's not even 716 00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:15,600 Speaker 1: coming back, So I think you can throw the ball 717 00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:17,239 Speaker 1: on them, and I think teams will throw the ball 718 00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:19,080 Speaker 1: on them because I don't know that you're gonna be 719 00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:22,440 Speaker 1: They're gonna be able to get pressure from the outside. 720 00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:25,040 Speaker 1: And there's no Darrell Casey upfront, so you got no 721 00:39:25,120 --> 00:39:28,840 Speaker 1: Darrell Casey. You've got no other edge rusher threat right 722 00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:31,959 Speaker 1: now in all honestly, because Vic Beasley's not there, So 723 00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:34,840 Speaker 1: where's the pass rush coming from. That's glass half empty 724 00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:38,520 Speaker 1: for the Titans. I kind of agree with the whole 725 00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:40,800 Speaker 1: Henry thing. I mean, it's all about Derek Henry. I 726 00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:44,000 Speaker 1: don't think Tannehill can carry that team. If Henry plays well, 727 00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:47,080 Speaker 1: they'll have a good record. They might go nine and 728 00:39:47,120 --> 00:39:50,240 Speaker 1: seven for the fifteenth consecutive season or however many seasons 729 00:39:50,239 --> 00:39:53,440 Speaker 1: they've done that for. But it's gonna be really tough 730 00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:56,280 Speaker 1: to get over the top unless Henry is all out 731 00:39:56,320 --> 00:40:00,000 Speaker 1: all the time, fifteen sixteen games, it's gonna be difficult. 732 00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:02,320 Speaker 1: All right, Let's get to the final team. They've reside 733 00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:04,479 Speaker 1: in North Florida, and the class half full class half 734 00:40:04,480 --> 00:40:08,200 Speaker 1: empty segment here. Can we even get to half full 735 00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:11,080 Speaker 1: on the Jacksonville Jaguars. Do you have a half a 736 00:40:11,160 --> 00:40:14,319 Speaker 1: class for the Jags? Oh? Absolutely, I think they've got 737 00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:16,640 Speaker 1: They've got as much young talent as any team in 738 00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:19,440 Speaker 1: this division. As crazy as that sounds. DJ Chark is 739 00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:21,560 Speaker 1: evolved into one of the better wide receivers in the NFL. 740 00:40:21,840 --> 00:40:23,799 Speaker 1: He is a deep threat. He really is honing his 741 00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:26,200 Speaker 1: game to be an all round threat all over the 742 00:40:26,200 --> 00:40:28,000 Speaker 1: field as a receiver. DJ Chark is a heck of 743 00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:31,719 Speaker 1: a player. Leonard Fournette. Look, Leonard Fournette went for over 744 00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:34,160 Speaker 1: eleven hundred yards and I think had seventy six catches 745 00:40:34,239 --> 00:40:36,840 Speaker 1: last year, which is amazing to think about because he 746 00:40:36,960 --> 00:40:41,239 Speaker 1: really is not a great pass receiver. In the offensive line. 747 00:40:41,239 --> 00:40:44,040 Speaker 1: With Juan Taylor at tackle, he's fantastic. And if mitche 748 00:40:44,160 --> 00:40:48,080 Speaker 1: Mania hits you, you got issues because things start going wild. 749 00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:51,000 Speaker 1: That's when Gardner Minshew kind of keeps things in check. 750 00:40:51,040 --> 00:40:54,880 Speaker 1: They're gonna have two stud young rushers and Josh Allen 751 00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:58,520 Speaker 1: and Caleban Chason and CJ. Henderson is arguably one of 752 00:40:58,560 --> 00:41:01,240 Speaker 1: the best athletes in this past at that corner. Who's 753 00:41:01,239 --> 00:41:04,279 Speaker 1: gonna be able to at some point be able to 754 00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:06,799 Speaker 1: lock guys down man to man. So they've got some 755 00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:11,440 Speaker 1: definite young talent in the building, no doubt. Nice job, Johnny. 756 00:41:11,520 --> 00:41:14,840 Speaker 1: What about half empty for the Jacksonville Jaguars. Well, I 757 00:41:14,840 --> 00:41:17,520 Speaker 1: still don't think they're gonna stop anybody running the football, 758 00:41:17,680 --> 00:41:20,120 Speaker 1: and that was the bug last year. Teams were able 759 00:41:20,120 --> 00:41:23,480 Speaker 1: to just pound on them, and they will did I 760 00:41:23,520 --> 00:41:25,279 Speaker 1: think you can throw the ball on him. I think C. J. 761 00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:27,839 Speaker 1: Henderson will struggle this year. I think down the road 762 00:41:27,840 --> 00:41:30,960 Speaker 1: he'll he'll be pretty solid, but I think he will struggle. 763 00:41:31,640 --> 00:41:34,120 Speaker 1: He's gonna struggle with some speed that he's gonna see. 764 00:41:34,239 --> 00:41:36,160 Speaker 1: And I don't think the secondary is gonna be able 765 00:41:36,200 --> 00:41:38,600 Speaker 1: to stop anybody throwing the football. I do think Allen 766 00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:40,680 Speaker 1: had chased on our problem from the outside. But if 767 00:41:40,719 --> 00:41:42,840 Speaker 1: you block them, you're gonna have time to throw, and 768 00:41:42,840 --> 00:41:44,480 Speaker 1: you're gonna have time to throw against. I think a 769 00:41:44,520 --> 00:41:49,160 Speaker 1: defense that has has some issues and will have some 770 00:41:49,200 --> 00:41:51,960 Speaker 1: issues with youth, and then Gardner Minshew. If you're able 771 00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:54,440 Speaker 1: to keep Minshew in the pocket as we did in London, 772 00:41:54,800 --> 00:41:57,439 Speaker 1: it's very difficult for him to throw the ball over 773 00:41:57,520 --> 00:41:59,919 Speaker 1: the top of guys his release, he's a little short 774 00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:02,600 Speaker 1: than some guys. I just I'm not buying it. And 775 00:42:02,680 --> 00:42:06,160 Speaker 1: Leonard Fernett is not your bell cow type of running 776 00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:08,920 Speaker 1: back that you want. I mean, he's three point seven 777 00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:12,160 Speaker 1: yards per carry. That's just not the kind of guy 778 00:42:12,280 --> 00:42:15,359 Speaker 1: you want to have. He has. He has no way 779 00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:18,600 Speaker 1: to beat you unless you give it to him. If 780 00:42:18,640 --> 00:42:21,480 Speaker 1: you get out of your gap and your fits aren't right, 781 00:42:21,600 --> 00:42:23,839 Speaker 1: then hell he'll exploit it. He did that Pittsburgh as 782 00:42:23,840 --> 00:42:26,279 Speaker 1: a rookie in ninety yards and he can do that. 783 00:42:26,440 --> 00:42:28,360 Speaker 1: But if you stay at your run fits and you 784 00:42:28,440 --> 00:42:29,960 Speaker 1: forced him to have to beat you on his own, 785 00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:32,399 Speaker 1: he can't do it. And I think the offensive line 786 00:42:32,440 --> 00:42:34,839 Speaker 1: overall is still not where Jacksonville wants it to beat. 787 00:42:34,840 --> 00:42:36,360 Speaker 1: And they spent a lot of money and a lot 788 00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:38,240 Speaker 1: of draft picks. They got it right with Juan Taylor, 789 00:42:38,560 --> 00:42:40,440 Speaker 1: but the rest up and down and I don't know, 790 00:42:40,520 --> 00:42:42,680 Speaker 1: I see it, especially Cam Robinson to tackle his play 791 00:42:42,719 --> 00:42:46,239 Speaker 1: has gotten his plays dipped year after year after year, 792 00:42:46,280 --> 00:42:48,560 Speaker 1: and that's been a problem for the Jags upfront. All right, 793 00:42:48,560 --> 00:42:51,600 Speaker 1: that's glass half full, class half empty. You heard it. Now. 794 00:42:51,640 --> 00:42:54,080 Speaker 1: The Texans have their own scenarios that we've been talking 795 00:42:54,080 --> 00:42:56,359 Speaker 1: about all offseason long, and we can get it too 796 00:42:56,400 --> 00:42:58,600 Speaker 1: more either in the next segment or tomorrow. More likely tomorrow, 797 00:42:58,600 --> 00:43:00,520 Speaker 1: because in the next segment, let's go round the league. 798 00:43:00,520 --> 00:43:02,719 Speaker 1: A certain deadline has passed and what did it mean 799 00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:05,960 Speaker 1: for the league moving forward through training cap at into 800 00:43:05,960 --> 00:43:09,640 Speaker 1: the regular season? Plus fans no fans or one stadium 801 00:43:09,680 --> 00:43:12,520 Speaker 1: at least has declared no fans for the first couple 802 00:43:12,520 --> 00:43:13,840 Speaker 1: of games, and it kind of hurts a bit to 803 00:43:13,840 --> 00:43:16,120 Speaker 1: read about this one. Plus how do the other sports 804 00:43:16,120 --> 00:43:21,919 Speaker 1: look so far?

I mean, my goodness, when 897 00:49:09,280 --> 00:49:11,880 Speaker 1: you're able to do that with millions five millions of 898 00:49:11,960 --> 00:49:15,479 Speaker 1: the Provision School around a year ago, almost a year ago, 899 00:49:15,600 --> 00:49:20,080 Speaker 1: which I don't think got enough accolades, enough coverage. I mean, 900 00:49:20,120 --> 00:49:23,239 Speaker 1: that school is so phenomenal. If you ever go down 901 00:49:23,280 --> 00:49:25,560 Speaker 1: there or you read about it anyway, probably not a 902 00:49:25,560 --> 00:49:27,880 Speaker 1: good time to go down there right now. But school 903 00:49:27,880 --> 00:49:31,480 Speaker 1: and Sunnyside just changing kids lives, led by ROYNL. Young, 904 00:49:31,520 --> 00:49:35,080 Speaker 1: who's just such an inspiration to so many. I just 905 00:49:35,120 --> 00:49:39,600 Speaker 1: think it's amazing. All right, let's continue the conversation here, Johnny. Now, 906 00:49:40,239 --> 00:49:43,280 Speaker 1: I have been watching the NBA, and here's my vibe 907 00:49:43,280 --> 00:49:45,480 Speaker 1: on this. I gotta share this with you. You can't 908 00:49:45,600 --> 00:49:48,279 Speaker 1: do this unless you're at a bubble. And basketball has 909 00:49:48,320 --> 00:49:53,160 Speaker 1: a particularly unique kind of situation here, smaller floor, fewer 910 00:49:53,200 --> 00:49:57,920 Speaker 1: athletes than most sports, and the bubble kind of reminds me, 911 00:49:58,040 --> 00:50:02,200 Speaker 1: you know, they're all there together. And basketball is sometimes 912 00:50:02,239 --> 00:50:04,960 Speaker 1: like that during let's say a conference tournament, you know, 913 00:50:05,120 --> 00:50:07,520 Speaker 1: or some kind of tournament setting where you feel like, 914 00:50:07,880 --> 00:50:09,719 Speaker 1: all right, they're gonna play, then they're gonna go back 915 00:50:09,719 --> 00:50:11,839 Speaker 1: to the hotel. Then they're gonna come back and play 916 00:50:11,960 --> 00:50:15,480 Speaker 1: and practice and shoot around. And it's very familiar to 917 00:50:15,520 --> 00:50:17,520 Speaker 1: these guys to be in a setting like that. Now, 918 00:50:17,520 --> 00:50:20,240 Speaker 1: this is a very nice bubble. Okay. I know everyone 919 00:50:20,280 --> 00:50:22,000 Speaker 1: saw the food on the first day. That looked like 920 00:50:22,000 --> 00:50:25,279 Speaker 1: the fire festival. You know, it looks really bad. It's like, 921 00:50:25,520 --> 00:50:29,319 Speaker 1: what happened? Why are we? I'm used to like a 922 00:50:29,320 --> 00:50:33,080 Speaker 1: caterer a great training table, but they've improved that dramatically. 923 00:50:33,120 --> 00:50:36,480 Speaker 1: Tillman for Tito a big part of that. Yeah, I 924 00:50:36,560 --> 00:50:38,840 Speaker 1: think I think they've done a remarkable job and I 925 00:50:38,880 --> 00:50:40,680 Speaker 1: think baseball is hanging in there too. I mean, I 926 00:50:40,760 --> 00:50:43,080 Speaker 1: gotta I gotta give credit to all these sports for 927 00:50:43,680 --> 00:50:46,120 Speaker 1: doing it. I wish they did it sooner, but I 928 00:50:46,160 --> 00:50:48,399 Speaker 1: get it. It It takes a long time to do it right, 929 00:50:48,600 --> 00:50:51,160 Speaker 1: to do it where it's acceptable to all parties involved. 930 00:50:51,400 --> 00:50:54,200 Speaker 1: And now that they're doing it, hey, it's August and 931 00:50:54,280 --> 00:50:57,640 Speaker 1: it's like this cornucopia of sports every night. I wish 932 00:50:57,680 --> 00:50:59,799 Speaker 1: we had preseason football to go along with it, but 933 00:51:00,040 --> 00:51:02,400 Speaker 1: we don't. But we'll make the best of it. You know, 934 00:51:02,640 --> 00:51:06,279 Speaker 1: tonight was supposed to be tonight, was supposed to what 935 00:51:06,560 --> 00:51:09,319 Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame game. Hall of Fame Game, Yes, 936 00:51:09,600 --> 00:51:14,759 Speaker 1: because oh, that would have been so nice, which means 937 00:51:14,760 --> 00:51:17,840 Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame induction would have been this weekend. Yeah, 938 00:51:17,960 --> 00:51:20,680 Speaker 1: that would have been great to have it tonight. Yeah, 939 00:51:20,719 --> 00:51:22,839 Speaker 1: I would have loved that, you know. So they moved 940 00:51:22,840 --> 00:51:25,160 Speaker 1: it to Thursdays to sort of kick off the weekend 941 00:51:25,160 --> 00:51:27,920 Speaker 1: instead of cap off the weekend. Right. Yeah. Um, it 942 00:51:28,000 --> 00:51:30,000 Speaker 1: was on Monday for a while, and they just didn't 943 00:51:30,040 --> 00:51:32,439 Speaker 1: like that anymore. I remember, I remember Dennis Miller made 944 00:51:32,480 --> 00:51:35,440 Speaker 1: his Monday night football announcing debut at the Hall of 945 00:51:35,440 --> 00:51:38,360 Speaker 1: Fame Game, and he was saying like, it's really different 946 00:51:38,360 --> 00:51:39,920 Speaker 1: when you're up here in the booth. I've never been 947 00:51:39,920 --> 00:51:44,960 Speaker 1: in a booth before. I'm thinking good choice. Yeah, okay, 948 00:51:45,160 --> 00:51:49,759 Speaker 1: I'm like having experience, yeah, and no problem. All right. 949 00:51:49,800 --> 00:51:53,480 Speaker 1: The opt out deadline has passed. So here we are 950 00:51:53,600 --> 00:51:56,280 Speaker 1: with the opt out deadline in the rear view mirror. 951 00:51:56,320 --> 00:51:58,480 Speaker 1: Now there can still be some opt out, so it's 952 00:51:58,560 --> 00:52:00,960 Speaker 1: not like opting out as complete, letely over, but there 953 00:52:01,000 --> 00:52:03,440 Speaker 1: have to be some extenuating circumstances. For lack of a 954 00:52:03,480 --> 00:52:07,320 Speaker 1: better way of putting it, right, but sixty seven NFL 955 00:52:07,400 --> 00:52:11,000 Speaker 1: players have taken the option to not to participate in 956 00:52:11,040 --> 00:52:16,920 Speaker 1: the twenty twenty season thoughts, I think it's probably about 957 00:52:16,960 --> 00:52:20,040 Speaker 1: where I expected. I know the NFL was expecting about 958 00:52:20,080 --> 00:52:24,319 Speaker 1: that number and maybe maybe a little lower. But I 959 00:52:24,320 --> 00:52:28,880 Speaker 1: mean when you hear the stories of players that have 960 00:52:28,920 --> 00:52:33,600 Speaker 1: opted out and why it, I mean you're like, yeah, okay, 961 00:52:33,680 --> 00:52:38,800 Speaker 1: I mean I understand completely. And look, everybody everybody has, 962 00:52:39,520 --> 00:52:42,919 Speaker 1: uh you know, has a story, has a background, has 963 00:52:43,360 --> 00:52:45,520 Speaker 1: you know, something in their in their family history. And 964 00:52:45,719 --> 00:52:49,680 Speaker 1: I think it was man, I think it was Ryan Clark. 965 00:52:49,760 --> 00:52:55,200 Speaker 1: I could be wrong, but Ryan Clark for the Steelers 966 00:52:55,920 --> 00:52:59,480 Speaker 1: for a long time could never play in Denver because 967 00:52:59,640 --> 00:53:01,959 Speaker 1: I think it's sickle cell. I think it was Ryan 968 00:53:02,080 --> 00:53:04,880 Speaker 1: Clark if I remember correctly, and he could he couldn't 969 00:53:04,880 --> 00:53:07,400 Speaker 1: play he could play in Denver because of the altitude. 970 00:53:08,040 --> 00:53:12,279 Speaker 1: So look, we've all, you know, everybody's got something. And 971 00:53:12,440 --> 00:53:17,160 Speaker 1: I saw Tredevius White tweet about the grief he was 972 00:53:17,200 --> 00:53:22,280 Speaker 1: getting probably from Bill's fans, I mean expectively from Bill's 973 00:53:22,320 --> 00:53:25,840 Speaker 1: fans when he was considering opting out, and then he 974 00:53:25,920 --> 00:53:28,040 Speaker 1: said in a tweet, and Tredavius has a way in 975 00:53:28,080 --> 00:53:30,480 Speaker 1: his tweets to kind of put people back in her place, 976 00:53:30,520 --> 00:53:35,800 Speaker 1: and he talked about his girlfriend's grandfather who died from COVID, 977 00:53:35,800 --> 00:53:37,919 Speaker 1: and it was like that was kind of his final line. 978 00:53:37,960 --> 00:53:41,239 Speaker 1: It was like, oh, okay, Like, first of all, it 979 00:53:41,280 --> 00:53:44,359 Speaker 1: shouldn't come to that, Like people should. I respect your 980 00:53:44,360 --> 00:53:48,440 Speaker 1: decision no matter what it is, respect it. I respect 981 00:53:48,440 --> 00:53:51,520 Speaker 1: your decision no matter what they're in. Anybody in the 982 00:53:51,520 --> 00:53:55,160 Speaker 1: face of this earth that knows mark what you personally 983 00:53:55,160 --> 00:53:57,160 Speaker 1: have been through every single day of your life. Nobody 984 00:53:57,160 --> 00:54:00,520 Speaker 1: knows what I've been through. Nobody knows what Trevis White's 985 00:54:00,520 --> 00:54:03,879 Speaker 1: been through. So trying to opine on those situations makes 986 00:54:03,920 --> 00:54:07,279 Speaker 1: you look like an absolute idiot.
