Speaker 1: It's light out later.

11
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 3: So it does feel like afternoon when we begin the show,

12
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:30,319
Speaker 3: as opposed to winter when it's just the depths of

13
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:31,680
Speaker 3: darkness at six pm.

14
00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:33,480
Speaker 1: I love this time of year.

15
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:38,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, great weather, rodeo done, congratulations on a nice good job, Rodeo,

16
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:38,960
Speaker 3: good job.

17
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:39,320
Speaker 1: Yeah.

18
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:43,120
Speaker 3: And what's impressed me actually more than anything, maybe is

19
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:45,800
Speaker 3: I get in at I don't know, eight twenty eight

20
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:48,599
Speaker 3: to fifteen this morning. The dirt's already gone. Yeah, they

21
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:52,000
Speaker 3: got the dirty dirtst Yeah. No, I thought somebody's going

22
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:53,600
Speaker 3: to take a week or something to get all that

23
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 3: dirt out. And it's not just normal dirt. That's thick,

24
00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 3: clumpy dirt.

25
00:00:57,840 --> 00:00:57,960
Speaker 1: Right.

26
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 3: I walked on that stuff when I did the Cash ground.

27
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 3: It was all gone, all gone, and they're packing up

28
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 3: so fast. It's like they've been a victim and they

29
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 3: got to get out in twenty four hours, which they

30
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:10,920
Speaker 3: don't have to. But they're doing the good work here.

31
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 3: And obviously, you know, watched hoops over the weekend. Coached kids.

32
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:15,679
Speaker 3: It was a great weekend.

33
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, you had a good fight football weekendt coach.

34
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:20,840
Speaker 3: I did a good Yeah, this was good. Five kids,

35
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:22,960
Speaker 3: only five kids showed. It's five on five and we

36
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:25,120
Speaker 3: crushed it. We did well. But you know, they've been

37
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 3: around a long time, worked on some things. It's funny

38
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:29,200
Speaker 3: because you know, you do what we do. You watch

39
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 3: NFL teams practice, and I think that you know, when

40
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 3: I practice basketball or football, because I coach both those sports,

41
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 3: I want everything to go as fast as the NFL

42
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:40,120
Speaker 3: teams do you know. It's like station to station, let's go,

43
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:42,760
Speaker 3: let's go. You guys, come on, and you're not used

44
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 3: to that. I remember watching college teams practice football, like

45
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 3: Miami even and we were good, obviously, But when I

46
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 3: came to the NFL, I'm.

47
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 1: Like, oh, it's even faster.

48
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 3: Just stationed to station, the speed at which they conduct

49
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 3: a practice session.

50
00:01:57,720 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 1: It's so funny.

51
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 2: You say that because during OTA's and mini camp mostly

52
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 2: sometimes training camp, but mostly it's during OTA's in mini

53
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 2: camp because it's a little less stressful than training camp

54
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 2: and the time fits a little bit better. There will

55
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 2: be college coaches. I've seen TSU Rice, you were Houston.

56
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,360
Speaker 2: I've seen a lot of coaches here, and I can't

57
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 2: tell you the number of times I've stood near some

58
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 2: of those coaches and they're talking to each other and like,

59
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 2: look how fast they're doing this drill or they get

60
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:31,080
Speaker 2: from drill to drill, And I kind of take it

61
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:33,080
Speaker 2: for granted in a sense like yeah, you know, they're

62
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:35,079
Speaker 2: just a practice, they're just going from one to drill

63
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 2: to next. But I've heard them. I can't it's a

64
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 2: dozen times if it's once where I've heard coaches like,

65
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 2: look how fast they're doing that drill. Look how they're

66
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 2: doing that, and how clean that is, And you know,

67
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 2: you realize, okay, Yard, you're dealing with the best of

68
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 2: the best, the pros.

69
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 1: The pros, they know how to do it. This is

70
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:52,799
Speaker 1: what this is what they do.

71
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:55,640
Speaker 2: This is how you get ninety guys all moving in

72
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 2: one direction. And you know, college, trust me, in high

73
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,240
Speaker 2: school doesn't quite go that fast.

74
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 1: Trying to get everybody from drill to drill your setup

75
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 1: of it.

76
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 3: Remember when Bill O'Brien took the job here and he

77
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:08,919
Speaker 3: talked about the coaches and I, this is the first

78
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 3: year the coaches and I are going to go out

79
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:13,680
Speaker 3: and practice. He didn't word it this way, but practice

80
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 3: how to practice, you know, go over the practice routine

81
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 3: with coaches. And they were bringing all sorts of warm

82
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 3: bodies out there from the football opice crew, like scouting

83
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 3: people who wouldn't normally be out there for this kind

84
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 3: of thing.

85
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:28,079
Speaker 1: I said, I want to do it. You know. When

86
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 1: I was hearing.

87
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:30,919
Speaker 3: About this, He's like, well, what what can you do, Vandermare.

88
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 3: I'm like, I don't know. Like I could be a

89
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 3: tight end and pretend to catch a pass.

90
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 1: I don't know.

91
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 3: I wanted to participate, But they practiced the practice routine,

92
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 3: which I thought was notable. One other note, by the way, Johnny,

93
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 3: before we get rolling on things.

94
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was.

95
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 3: Reminded of the two best coaching jobs Demiko Ryans did

96
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 3: this season by coaching flag football yesterday. Is he going

97
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 3: to compare him coaching flag football to demiico RAN's coaching

98
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 3: this team? Yeah, this idea is that's what we do,

99
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 3: but only because we had a bad week last week

100
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 3: and I had to reinvent some things and focus on

101
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 3: the fundamentals and do I'm not gonna get into all

102
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 3: the details.

103
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 1: But really just reset everything.

104
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 3: And I thought of all right, Demiko really had to

105
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 3: do that. After getting blown out by the Ravens. He

106
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,840
Speaker 3: reset a lot of things because they had a little

107
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:22,239
Speaker 3: extra time. They had that weird game with Tennessee where

108
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:25,159
Speaker 3: we don't need the win, but we need to play well,

109
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:26,039
Speaker 3: we need something.

110
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 1: Yeah we don't win, but we need to win.

111
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, we need something going into the Chargers games. We

112
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:33,919
Speaker 3: could charge a game. We need the playoff game. They

113
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 3: didn't know who it was at that point. We need

114
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 3: something positive to happen, and we talked about it. They

115
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 3: had a great week of preparation for the Titans game.

116
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 3: No matter who was going to play, they've locked in.

117
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 3: They got down to it and against the Titans opening

118
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 3: drive bam touchdown. Rest of the game, Davis Mills play

119
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 3: as well. Obviously, the defense played well. They beat the Titans,

120
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:57,360
Speaker 3: a team they had lost to earlier. Titans weren't playing

121
00:04:57,400 --> 00:04:59,719
Speaker 3: for anything either, but they weren't here either. Okay, so

122
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:04,719
Speaker 3: they had whatever they had motivation wise to play the

123
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 3: end of the season well.

124
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 1: And I was reminded of that.

125
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 3: I thought that was a great coaching job because it

126
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 3: led to the great job they did against the Chargers.

127
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,360
Speaker 3: It was all like a two and a half two

128
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:20,279
Speaker 3: weeks stretch. And I'll go back further the game against

129
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:25,360
Speaker 3: the Jacksonville Jaguars leading into the bye and then the Dolphins. Yeah,

130
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:29,159
Speaker 3: because they got beat by Tennessee. They got got by Tennessee.

131
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 3: They were on fumes. It's Week thirteen, No buye, everybody

132
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:35,280
Speaker 3: burnt out. They need the bye desperately, but they have

133
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:37,840
Speaker 3: to beat the Jaguars, and they rallied to do that.

134
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 3: And then they had a fine performance against the Miami Dolphins,

135
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:43,840
Speaker 3: a team that was pretty hot coming in here. So

136
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 3: I was reminded of that thought. Man, they reset, they refocused,

137
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 3: they recalibrated, they re whatever, and got ready for those

138
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 3: two outings. And I know it was more than one

139
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 3: that I mentioned there, but I was reminded of that

140
00:05:56,600 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 3: how important it is to sort of reset during the

141
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 3: season sometimes these guys. Otherwise every week it's the same thing.

142
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 3: You want a lot of similarity, you want routine, Yet

143
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:09,920
Speaker 3: you want every week to be this quote new season.

144
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:12,279
Speaker 3: That's how they look at it. And I was reminded

145
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:12,680
Speaker 3: of that.

146
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, that can that can definitely happen. I mean I

147
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:17,279
Speaker 2: had it happened my second year as a head coach.

148
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 2: I wanted to be I wanted to throw it. That

149
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 2: was what I had more fun doing down up passing.

150
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 2: I didn't think high schools can really stop good passing attacks.

151
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 2: And I realized but halfway through the year, like we

152
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:29,039
Speaker 2: just can't do it. We just can't do it. We

153
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:31,280
Speaker 2: can't do it. We can't protect it, we can't catch it.

154
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:33,920
Speaker 2: We could throw it, but we can't. We just can't

155
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 2: do it. And I'd always been an option guy, and

156
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:38,599
Speaker 2: I'm looking at the tape of the next week and

157
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 2: I'm like, the team that was playing the next opponent

158
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 2: couldn't stop the option.

159
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 1: And I was like, We're gonna do it. Run the option.

160
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:48,599
Speaker 1: In one We're gonna run the option. And we turned

161
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 1: it around.

162
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 2: Basically, we had some components of it in the offense

163
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 2: and we just I just said to my office as

164
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 2: a look, I'd like to be able to throw it.

165
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:56,279
Speaker 2: We just can't, I said, So we're gonna We're gonna

166
00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 2: strip this thing down. We're gonna have ten plays, five

167
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 2: more option two or three out of runs, and then

168
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:02,919
Speaker 2: we're gonna have like two or three pass plays and

169
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 2: that's about it. It's good and we did and we

170
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 2: kind of made that changes and all of a sudden,

171
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 2: we just started kind of Wow. After about two or

172
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 2: three weeks, I'm like, you know, my offensive line is

173
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 2: not bad. Didn't run blocking. Man, They're getting and they're

174
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 2: getting better. Man, they're getting better. And by the end

175
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 2: of the year, it was like, man, they really took

176
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 2: a lot of pride in like stuffing it down some

177
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 2: team's throat. And I thought, hmm, okay, And I think

178
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 2: that's one of the things as a coach. And you know,

179
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 2: Demico talked about that with with Nick Cayley, adaptability and

180
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 2: you think about adaptability and you think, okay, and you

181
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 2: always heard from your Patriots people like game plan offense,

182
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 2: game plan offense. I think the adaptability you have to

183
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 2: have not only from you know, practice to practice, week

184
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 2: to week, but like any game, from drive to drive.

185
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:46,360
Speaker 2: And I think that's one of the things that Belichick

186
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 2: was so good at. Belichick could figure out what kind

187
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 2: of game it was like Hey, this is gonna be

188
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 2: a nine to three slug fest.

189
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:54,559
Speaker 1: Let's make sure we got our run game in order.

190
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 2: You know, this is gonna be a high flute and man,

191
00:07:57,320 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 2: this is a plus like he would know by the

192
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 2: first quarter, near the end of the first quarter kind

193
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 2: of game was gonna be, and that helped him kind

194
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 2: of figure out how he wanted his coordinators to call

195
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 2: the games for the next how many ever quarters? And

196
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 2: I think that adaptability has got to be seen in

197
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 2: this in this offense, which brings me to this, it's

198
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:18,720
Speaker 2: time to take stock. Take stock where we are. So

199
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 2: we're gonna do the Texans in the first segment, next

200
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 2: segment where it takes stock in the AFC South. All right, okay, personnel,

201
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:26,440
Speaker 2: So we're looking at Texans personnel.

202
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 1: Where are we? What have we done? What's left? What

203
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:34,839
Speaker 1: have you done? And how do we feel about what

204
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 1: it looks like right now? So feelings, yeah, feelings, Feelings

205
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 1: are always good. Let's start with the receivers.

206
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:46,200
Speaker 2: Thus far in the receiver group, Christian Kirk has been

207
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 2: added to the trade, Braxton Burrio signed, Justin Watson signed,

208
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 2: who got a nice little ug goodbye tweet from the Chiefs.

209
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 1: So the weekend. Thank you. I'm forgetting about him.

210
00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:57,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, I do too, And I think that's a mistake

211
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:01,040
Speaker 2: because I think Justin Watson uh is gonna end up

212
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:03,880
Speaker 2: making this football team at receiver. I feel very strong.

213
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 2: I think you make some plays. I think his experience

214
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 2: in Kansas City will be helpful. But I think his size,

215
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 2: his ability to go down a field, make plays down

216
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:15,079
Speaker 2: the field, I think is gonna help. So added three

217
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:19,439
Speaker 2: receivers to a group that more than likely won't include

218
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 2: Tank Dell right at least Matchie Hutchinson, Jared Wayne, Johnny Johnson,

219
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 2: Xavier Johnson in that wide receiver crew. How do you

220
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:33,040
Speaker 2: feel you got a bona fide number one in Eco Collins.

221
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 2: You got him signed for the next couple of years.

222
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,679
Speaker 2: I feel good about that. You brought in three free agents,

223
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:42,520
Speaker 2: one via trade and Christian Kirk restructured his contract.

224
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:43,679
Speaker 1: Over the weekend, or may have been done before, but

225
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 1: it was reported.

226
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:47,720
Speaker 2: I thought this morning, two other free agents, which you know,

227
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:49,440
Speaker 2: we'll see where they fit.

228
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 1: And then a remaining group that's here. How do you

229
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 1: feel about the receivers?

230
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:55,679
Speaker 3: Do Barrios and Metchi play the same spot?

231
00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:57,840
Speaker 1: Kind of? Pretty much? Okay?

232
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 2: I think Barrios, Kirk and Metchi. There's a lot of overlap,

233
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 2: a lot of a lot of overlap. Look, Kirk's gonna play.

234
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:08,880
Speaker 2: Kirk's good. Yeah, he's gonna play Nico Kurk. I feel

235
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 2: good if healthy Johnny. But last year going into the

236
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 2: into training camp, yeah, how great? Did we feel fantastic?

237
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:21,800
Speaker 3: Because he had Nico Dell Dan digs and you were thinking, Okay,

238
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:24,080
Speaker 3: we got a big three and let's see what Mechi

239
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:26,720
Speaker 3: can do now that everything's behind him and he can

240
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:30,200
Speaker 3: really flourish, And look what happened. We didn't get the

241
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 3: results that quite we were quite looking for. Injury is

242
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 3: obviously the biggest part of that. So if everybody stays healthy,

243
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:38,480
Speaker 3: I feel pretty good. I still feel like there's a

244
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:40,679
Speaker 3: rookie to add to the mix. Okay, so those are

245
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:45,320
Speaker 3: my feeling. I feel good. Give me a first three

246
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:47,320
Speaker 3: rounds rookie that they feel good like that.

247
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:48,320
Speaker 1: I like the way you did that.

248
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 2: Okay, let's go tight ends, all right, Gold Schultz, Brevin Jordan,

249
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 2: Kate Stover, state static. No additions those three if you

250
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:00,840
Speaker 2: want to, well, we'll do fullbacks with running backs. Those

251
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:05,320
Speaker 2: three Schultz, Jordan's Stover they're back, Brev coming off the ACL,

252
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:08,440
Speaker 2: Kate coming off end of the year. We missed him

253
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:11,120
Speaker 2: do the injury at the end of the year, but

254
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 2: I think he's rehabbing ready to go. Schultz Jordan Stover,

255
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:14,720
Speaker 2: how do you feel about tight ends?

256
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 3: I feel really good about the tight ends, except I

257
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:22,160
Speaker 3: feel like there's another one coming. Look, you absolutely have

258
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 3: to have at least a couple of camp tight ends. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

259
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:27,320
Speaker 3: but what they've got right now. I feel really good

260
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:29,720
Speaker 3: about Brevin Jordan coming off the injury. I've seen him

261
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:32,600
Speaker 3: every day. He is working hard to get out there.

262
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 3: He knows it's a big contract year for him because

263
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:37,199
Speaker 3: he got the one year extension. Kate Stover, you and

264
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:40,440
Speaker 3: I have talked about him. He has swar mentality. He

265
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 3: is exactly what they're looking for, not necessarily as a

266
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:47,960
Speaker 3: fifty catch a year guy, but as somebody who can block,

267
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 3: make the big receptions at big moments, you know, kind

268
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:53,040
Speaker 3: of like what he did in the Bears game. We

269
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 3: talked about that of it last week, and look, I

270
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:58,240
Speaker 3: like Dalton. I know Dalton's mate a big place for

271
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:00,280
Speaker 3: his team. It's got to be more consistent. He'll be

272
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:01,560
Speaker 3: the first one to tell you that he's a little

273
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:02,840
Speaker 3: for more consistency.

274
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:03,680
Speaker 1: So let's see.

275
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 2: I think those three with Shultz Jordan Stover, I feel

276
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:09,280
Speaker 2: pretty good about it. I feel like there's a why

277
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:12,760
Speaker 2: missing a guy that can be an inline guy and

278
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:13,040
Speaker 2: on a.

279
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:15,440
Speaker 1: Draft Jackson Hawes from Georgia Tech as a guy. I

280
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:16,000
Speaker 1: really like.

281
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:21,960
Speaker 2: You know that Jackson Hawk is basically Tea and Toreano. Well,

282
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 2: we wanted Teaking to beat Teagan just can never could

283
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:26,839
Speaker 2: never stay healthy, and so that was always that was

284
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 2: always an issue. I do think that there is a

285
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:31,920
Speaker 2: tight end in this draft coming at least maybe two

286
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:33,560
Speaker 2: one drafted, one undrafted.

287
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:37,080
Speaker 1: But you mentioned it camp bodies. I mean those three,

288
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:38,200
Speaker 1: I mean.

289
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 2: If you went into the season today, those are the

290
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 2: three you'd think are going to take the majority of

291
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 2: reps at all the different tight end positions.

292
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 3: But is there a fullback coming British Brooks, Well, that's

293
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:49,960
Speaker 3: let's go to fullback brids Brooks Jakub Johnson, who they

294
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:50,839
Speaker 3: both sat in.

295
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:52,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I feel pretty.

296
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:54,920
Speaker 2: Good about full back two because I think Johnson comes

297
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 2: in he knows you'd been with the Patriots for a

298
00:12:56,960 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 2: year or two, so I think you know, Nick knows

299
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 2: he's been around the league a little bit, and I

300
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 2: think British was just getting his feet wet playing fullback.

301
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 2: But making a roster I feel okay with fullback. So

302
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:10,280
Speaker 2: if you take the tight ends with the fullbacks, yeah okay.

303
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:14,439
Speaker 2: But I still feel there's something missing from that group,

304
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 2: mainly a y in.

305
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 1: Line tight end.

306
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:21,960
Speaker 2: But if you end up getting you know, an Elijah

307
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:24,040
Speaker 2: or Royo to Faulty in the second round or a

308
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 2: third round, you know, a tight end of that ILK

309
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:31,240
Speaker 2: who is just a phenomenal pass catcher, tremendous athlete, guy

310
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 2: from Texas one drop all of twenty twenty four was

311
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 2: one of cam Ward's biggest weapons or tremendous and seniable.

312
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 2: You know, a guy like that, if he were to

313
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 2: kind of fall into your lap, you might have to

314
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 2: take him.

315
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 1: You might have to do it.

316
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:46,920
Speaker 2: You might have to take a Mason Taylor, Jason Taylor's

317
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 2: son who played at LSU, who my comp is Dalton Schultz.

318
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 1: You know, that might be a guy that you have

319
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 1: to look at.

320
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 2: So I feel like, maybe tight end, there's a y

321
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:58,679
Speaker 2: in line guy missing. But I wouldn't be opposed if

322
00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 2: there's a pass catcher that they felt like could play

323
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 2: kind of the move tight end spot that would help

324
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:03,600
Speaker 2: him out too.

325
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:08,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm eager to see Brooks. There's an X factor

326
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:10,600
Speaker 3: there that we want to see. We want to see

327
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:14,319
Speaker 3: how he does with the health factor, put in and

328
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:18,120
Speaker 3: life because his name is Yaka and I want to

329
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 3: be able to say that it's a play by play anounceach.

330
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 2: I knew you would, Okay, quarterback, Let's let's pass that. Okay,

331
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:26,080
Speaker 2: Let's get to the offensive line.

332
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:26,520
Speaker 1: Okay.

333
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 2: So I know there's there have been some editions. They

334
00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 2: were coming fast and furious last week. Texas have added

335
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:41,320
Speaker 2: five five offensive linemen. They had a Cam Robinson last

336
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 2: week one year deal. They signed Lake and Tomlinson, a

337
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:49,680
Speaker 2: guard from out of Seattle, one year deal. Ed Ingram

338
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:53,920
Speaker 2: was added via trade with Minnesota. They signed Jerome Carvin

339
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 2: earlier the year this year due to a futures contract,

340
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 2: and then they just recently signed Trent Brown, one of

341
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:05,360
Speaker 2: the most massive individuals I have ever seen in my life.

342
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:06,920
Speaker 2: And I remember see him at the Senior Bowl and

343
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 2: being down on the field and he's one of those

344
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:11,560
Speaker 2: guys I looked up at went holy cow.

345
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:13,360
Speaker 1: I mean, you try not to say it out loud,

346
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 1: but oh my God, So.

347
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 2: I'm gonna hit you with this, this Jef dep chart

348
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:21,360
Speaker 2: I'm looking at from our friends at our lads. This

349
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 2: is what they have down as the starting five on

350
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:29,480
Speaker 2: the offensive line. How confident do you think that you

351
00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 2: are right now that this is the five?

352
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:32,320
Speaker 1: That this is the five?

353
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:36,240
Speaker 2: Cam Robinson left tackle, Titus Howard left guard, Jared Patterson

354
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:41,120
Speaker 2: at center, Juice Scruggs at right guard, Blake Fisher at

355
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:41,920
Speaker 2: right tackle.

356
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:44,520
Speaker 3: I would say more likely to happen based on what

357
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:45,360
Speaker 3: they have right now.

358
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:48,320
Speaker 1: That's it. That's it, that's it. I do too.

359
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 3: I think Scrugs at right guard is the one thing

360
00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:54,680
Speaker 3: you'd say, But then Juice has got to play right.

361
00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:57,520
Speaker 3: If Juice isn't the right guard, Let's say you really

362
00:15:57,680 --> 00:15:59,640
Speaker 3: you want to move Lake and Tomlinson over there or

363
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 3: something like that, or Ed Ingram plays that spot. Is

364
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:04,560
Speaker 3: j Just's going to slide to center? Do you really

365
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 3: love Jared Patterson at center?

366
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 1: Maybe you do? I keep going back. We talk about this,

367
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:10,280
Speaker 1: and this is.

368
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:12,920
Speaker 3: Why we do these shows, and we reference things said

369
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:14,720
Speaker 3: on these shows, like Dwayne Brown saying it took them

370
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 3: three or four years to figure it out on the

371
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:19,080
Speaker 3: old line, and we talked about the the best O

372
00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 3: line this team ever had with Wade Smith last week.

373
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:24,480
Speaker 3: If the left tackle on that line said it took

374
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:25,880
Speaker 3: him three or four years to figure out, and he

375
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 3: was drafted in two thousand and eight, that means twy ten,

376
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:29,360
Speaker 3: twenty eleven, that's where.

377
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 1: He's really hitting his strike. That's right, all right.

378
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:33,680
Speaker 3: So, and not that everybody's going to take three or

379
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:35,320
Speaker 3: four years to figure it out, but we tend to

380
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:38,120
Speaker 3: want instant results on the line, like Blake Fisher last year.

381
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:40,440
Speaker 3: I heard the guy's talking about Blake this morning, and

382
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:43,520
Speaker 3: not that they're writing Blake off at all. But Sean's

383
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 3: point was, if Blake turns out to be the swing tackle,

384
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:49,280
Speaker 3: are you disappointed in that potentially as a second round

385
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 3: pick or do you feel okay? I still feel fine

386
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:54,280
Speaker 3: with it, because who knows what's gonna happen right right?

387
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 3: Is he automatically getting Octitus out of there right tackle?

388
00:16:57,960 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 3: If they deem that they have a better left guard

389
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:00,760
Speaker 3: off than Titus?

390
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:01,600
Speaker 1: I don't know.

391
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:04,680
Speaker 3: Is Cam Robinson based on what they have right now,

392
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:07,480
Speaker 3: Cam is the starter at left tackle? Maybe that changes too.

393
00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:12,359
Speaker 3: I think that's the more likely than not offensive line combination.

394
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:15,080
Speaker 3: I still think they'll draft a left tackle first three

395
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:19,040
Speaker 3: rounds and a guard somewhere else along the way, and

396
00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:21,720
Speaker 3: they'll figure it out. Because one thing we don't know

397
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:27,120
Speaker 3: is how Cole Popovich, Nick Cayley, how they really.

398
00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:27,439
Speaker 1: Want to do it.

399
00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:30,120
Speaker 3: We think they're going to run downhill, smash people up,

400
00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:33,400
Speaker 3: try to develop that mentality that we were talking about

401
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:35,480
Speaker 3: with Wade last week. And I think they've got the

402
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:37,679
Speaker 3: guys in the building to do most of that, but

403
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 3: there's probably a wild cart or two coming.

404
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:42,199
Speaker 2: What I think it's going to be interesting here is

405
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:45,520
Speaker 2: the competition. Here's why I say this. Typically when you're

406
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:49,480
Speaker 2: talking about position battles, you're talking about player x player,

407
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:52,840
Speaker 2: why they're battling for one spot guard?

408
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:54,119
Speaker 1: You know, the battle for left guard.

409
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:58,320
Speaker 2: I think you very well could have a competition between

410
00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:02,280
Speaker 2: Cam Robinson, Titus Howard and Tomlinson to figure out which

411
00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:05,359
Speaker 2: two of those should go on the left side. You

412
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:06,960
Speaker 2: follow what I'm saying, like I don't, I don't know

413
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 2: that's a direct competition between Titus and Lake and Tomlinson

414
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:13,600
Speaker 2: for guard. I think it very well could be between

415
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:16,399
Speaker 2: those two in Cam. If Cam's not playing well, then

416
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:18,240
Speaker 2: maybe Titus has to move to the left tackle and

417
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 2: Laken slides into left guard. So I think the competition

418
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:25,040
Speaker 2: is gonna be kind of interesting for how you might

419
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:29,720
Speaker 2: fit things together. Yeah, I feel like the most the

420
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:31,720
Speaker 2: most confident. The thing I feel is that Titus Howard's

421
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:33,240
Speaker 2: gonna be part of off ins the line. I think

422
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:35,879
Speaker 2: the one hundred percent, especially after restructuring his deal, I

423
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:37,200
Speaker 2: feel like Titus is going to be part of this

424
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:40,600
Speaker 2: line after that. I don't know that I'm totally one

425
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:43,920
Speaker 2: hundred percent confident with saying, Oh, this guy's gonna be here,

426
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:45,840
Speaker 2: this guy's gonna be there. I just know Titus is

427
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:48,040
Speaker 2: gonna be part of Offon's a line. Now which position

428
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:49,119
Speaker 2: he plays, I don't know.

429
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:51,120
Speaker 1: And I think that's where the competition comes in.

430
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:53,679
Speaker 2: Because I think other guys are gonna have to battle

431
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:58,560
Speaker 2: to show, hey, I can play exposition. How do we

432
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:01,480
Speaker 2: move Titus around to be able to fit that? And

433
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:04,639
Speaker 2: I think that makes Titus as important as anybody because

434
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 2: you can't play Titus at any of these guard tackle positions.

435
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:08,400
Speaker 1: I just don't tys.

436
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:11,120
Speaker 2: I don't want playing center, But I think that that's

437
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:13,639
Speaker 2: where competition could be. Blake Fisher Trent Brown of the

438
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:16,040
Speaker 2: right tackle if either one neither one of them is

439
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 2: playing on that, well, well maybe we need to play

440
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:20,280
Speaker 2: Titus at right tackle and put Lake and Thomas into

441
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:22,320
Speaker 2: our draft pick and left guard. I don't know, but

442
00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:26,760
Speaker 2: I think now and we said this, we said this

443
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:29,280
Speaker 2: as free and scy what's going on? They just don't panic.

444
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:32,440
Speaker 2: The Texans can't panic. We can't pan it. Go look,

445
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:33,399
Speaker 2: there's time.

446
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 1: And what they do.

447
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:37,400
Speaker 2: They added Cam Robinson, They added Tomlinson, they added Trent Brown,

448
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:41,000
Speaker 2: they added depth, They added guys that have started this

449
00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:41,679
Speaker 2: league before.

450
00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:44,800
Speaker 3: Where you said it it's competition, and it's competition because

451
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:46,720
Speaker 3: we don't know how they're going to do it. I

452
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:48,400
Speaker 3: don't know if they know how they're going to do it,

453
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:50,639
Speaker 3: but they're going to have them compete and there's going

454
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:53,720
Speaker 3: to be more overreaction to how they line up on

455
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:56,120
Speaker 3: the offensive line than anything else in training. Care can't

456
00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:57,919
Speaker 3: wait for me is going to be in there. It

457
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:00,280
Speaker 3: is just going to be so and so's next to

458
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:02,280
Speaker 3: so and so, next to so. He got more reps

459
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:04,919
Speaker 3: than this guy. And look, it is gonna be.

460
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:07,240
Speaker 2: In the first real training campus that media isn't supposed

461
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 2: to announce, right.

462
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:12,320
Speaker 3: But you know, yeah, just out of the Hayes in

463
00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:14,400
Speaker 3: the bar and the horses out of the barn. Something's

464
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:16,560
Speaker 3: out of the bar, Yeah, that's right, and that's or

465
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:17,720
Speaker 3: the cats out of the bag.

466
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:18,280
Speaker 1: Yeah.

467
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:21,439
Speaker 3: So whatever you show on the field, they're gonna talk about, they're.

468
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:23,360
Speaker 2: Gonna talk about. Okay, I'm gonna ask you this weird

469
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:28,160
Speaker 2: question with the offensive line. Yeah, because one of our

470
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:31,720
Speaker 2: one of my favorites was Mike Brizel. Yeah, Mike kind

471
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:35,800
Speaker 2: of came out of nowhere, right, Zach Thomas, Austin Deculus,

472
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:40,400
Speaker 2: Tremaine Ankram, Ladarius Henderson, Nick Broker, Jalen Thomas.

473
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:41,520
Speaker 1: Who's gonna do it?

474
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:45,680
Speaker 2: Of that group? Hey, do you think there is one

475
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:47,919
Speaker 2: of those? I'll give you the name that keeps popping

476
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:50,760
Speaker 2: up to me because I'll tell you when he has

477
00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:52,560
Speaker 2: been on the when he has been on the field

478
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:54,200
Speaker 2: for the Texans, he has done good things. I'm not

479
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:56,159
Speaker 2: gonna tell you it's perfect. I'm not gonna tell you

480
00:20:56,200 --> 00:21:00,440
Speaker 2: it was fantastic. Last career too. Austin Deculus. Well, when

481
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:02,439
Speaker 2: Deculus got back on a field, come of playing some

482
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:04,879
Speaker 2: tight end and then in that Tennessee game, he was

483
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:07,400
Speaker 2: ruining some dudes like he did a really good job

484
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:11,560
Speaker 2: out on the edge, pass blocking, fiery, feisty guy, and

485
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:12,240
Speaker 2: a lot of starts.

486
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:12,679
Speaker 1: LSU.

487
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:14,280
Speaker 3: Do you still get credit for him as a draft

488
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:15,680
Speaker 3: choice if he turns out to be something?

489
00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:18,200
Speaker 1: Yeah? Absolutely, he left the bill. Yeah, okay, Good.

490
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:21,040
Speaker 2: Drafted him twenty twenty two, so I'm not saying it's perfect.

491
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:23,600
Speaker 2: But I also want to see Ladarius Henderson. I think

492
00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:25,720
Speaker 2: he was playing hurt at Michigan the last how many

493
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:29,600
Speaker 2: ever weeks of that year that they won a national championship,

494
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:31,439
Speaker 2: and then obviously he came here and it was a

495
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:34,200
Speaker 2: sit year to get healthy, and he's now gotten healthy.

496
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:35,960
Speaker 1: So I'm curious to see what he brings to this.

497
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 2: But I feel like in that group Zach Thomas, Deculus

498
00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:43,000
Speaker 2: Tremaine Anchorm, Ladarius Henderson, Nick Broker, Jaylen Thomas, I feel

499
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:44,760
Speaker 2: like there's a guy in there that could maybe step

500
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:45,639
Speaker 2: up and say, hey.

501
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:47,920
Speaker 1: Hey, hey, hey, what do you call it? Don't forget

502
00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:50,240
Speaker 1: about me, don't forget about don't forget about me guy.

503
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:52,360
Speaker 2: It could be one of those guys that obviously we're

504
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:55,359
Speaker 2: not talking about because the guys that are already there,

505
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:57,000
Speaker 2: the guys that they've added.

506
00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:58,639
Speaker 1: Are just all the talking points. But it could be

507
00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:00,160
Speaker 1: one of those other guys that steps.

508
00:21:59,880 --> 00:22:03,280
Speaker 2: Up and it takes one position, yep, guard center, whatever,

509
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:06,560
Speaker 2: it takes one position, you're like, hey, this guy's pretty good.

510
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:09,200
Speaker 2: Like I like Jayleen Thomas coming out of college at SMU.

511
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:11,080
Speaker 2: I really liked him, so when we got him, I

512
00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:13,920
Speaker 2: was like, Hey, this might have possibilities.

513
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:15,320
Speaker 1: But then he got hurt.

514
00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:18,760
Speaker 2: And he got hurt in training camp, and obviously you

515
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:20,439
Speaker 2: can't tell what a guy's got if he's gonna end

516
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:21,080
Speaker 2: up being hurt.

517
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:23,200
Speaker 1: But Nick Broker's done some good things in training camp.

518
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:25,760
Speaker 2: I just feel like there is one of those guys

519
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:27,840
Speaker 2: that might play a role on this line in a

520
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:29,120
Speaker 2: big way in twenty twenty five.

521
00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:32,320
Speaker 3: I feel like they have enough guys where you'd say

522
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:36,840
Speaker 3: this is a bona fide plus offensive line if they

523
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 3: all play to their capability.

524
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:39,439
Speaker 1: I agree that's healthy.

525
00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:42,520
Speaker 3: To their capabilities, you could be that, but the coaching's

526
00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:44,520
Speaker 3: got to be there with it to make it happen.

527
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:49,560
Speaker 3: And scheme too, because last year's unit maybe the last

528
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 3: two years not suited maybe for the scheme they were

529
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:56,439
Speaker 3: running in the running the football department, yep, and everything else. Obviously,

530
00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:59,040
Speaker 3: Year one worked out really well. Year two not as

531
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:01,880
Speaker 3: well running backs yet.

532
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:10,400
Speaker 2: Oh running backs okay mixing, Yeah, Damien Dari JJ and

533
00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:13,200
Speaker 2: another j J Jerard Jordan. Those are your five running

534
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:15,879
Speaker 2: backs going into camp. I'm glad you mention this. I

535
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:16,879
Speaker 2: forgot about that.

536
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:20,800
Speaker 3: The key here is can Pierce return to twenty twenty

537
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:25,280
Speaker 3: two form in this scheme? In whatever adjustments Nick Kelly

538
00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:28,240
Speaker 3: does with the line, with everything we've talked about running downhill?

539
00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:31,439
Speaker 3: Does Pierce return to that? Because it's funny how our

540
00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:34,760
Speaker 3: lads says Darry as the second back, because Darry is

541
00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:36,280
Speaker 3: the third down back, so he's going to get a

542
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:38,680
Speaker 3: lot of attention that way. I think, Johnny that they're

543
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:40,800
Speaker 3: looking for an X factor at third down back. They

544
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:42,960
Speaker 3: re signed Darry because he's reliable, they know they can

545
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:43,479
Speaker 3: count on him.

546
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:44,160
Speaker 1: They know what they got.

547
00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:47,840
Speaker 3: But I think they're looking for maybe the next Dara

548
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:50,399
Speaker 3: or a guy who could even do more as a

549
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:53,200
Speaker 3: pass catcher on third down and pick up the pass

550
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:57,160
Speaker 3: blocking part of the scheme as well. So because they're

551
00:23:57,160 --> 00:23:59,080
Speaker 3: always looking to replace you, right, and I'm not saying

552
00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:01,000
Speaker 3: they want Darry out of here, but they're always looking

553
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:02,879
Speaker 3: for more, more and more and more. So maybe they

554
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:06,600
Speaker 3: draft somebody like that, But a real big factor here

555
00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:09,679
Speaker 3: is Damien. Can Damien do what Damien used to do?

556
00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:12,600
Speaker 3: And he still does some of it for sure. Those

557
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:15,320
Speaker 3: two big runs last year showed he still got yes exactly.

558
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:17,040
Speaker 3: The Tennessee game was awesome.

559
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:17,800
Speaker 1: Uh.

560
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:21,440
Speaker 3: Special teams speaks for itself. Still curious about the kickoff rule.

561
00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:23,520
Speaker 3: Next week I'll meet the owners. Yeah, what they do

562
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:27,439
Speaker 3: about that rule? But I like what they have here.

563
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:32,040
Speaker 3: Is there an X factor potential coming in terms of

564
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:33,800
Speaker 3: all right, we're gonna we're gonna take a guy in

565
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 3: the fifth round or sixth round, whatever wherever they pick

566
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:39,920
Speaker 3: right after Nick makes his moves. We'll find out then.

567
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:42,600
Speaker 3: But they'll pick a guy who kind of dropped a

568
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:44,480
Speaker 3: little bit for whatever reason, but maybe he can help

569
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:47,480
Speaker 3: this football team because the draft is loaded at that position.

570
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:50,040
Speaker 2: It's a it's a great point you make, uh, And

571
00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:53,320
Speaker 2: I've been shutting from the rooftops. This running back class

572
00:24:53,600 --> 00:25:03,119
Speaker 2: is incredibly good. And you know, listen, Joe, that's the

573
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:04,439
Speaker 2: right way saying this. I want to make sure I

574
00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:06,680
Speaker 2: say this properly because I love Joe Mixing be on

575
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:09,680
Speaker 2: his team, but you can't allow him to take such

576
00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:10,800
Speaker 2: a beating throughout the year.

577
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:14,359
Speaker 1: Sure, so you've got it, Like, is it Damian? Okay?

578
00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:17,159
Speaker 2: Can you give yourself a different wrinkle in the passing

579
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:19,800
Speaker 2: game through a running back like Brishard Smith from SMU

580
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:21,119
Speaker 2: is a guy that Drew and I've talked a lot

581
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:23,440
Speaker 2: about because he's a guy that at the University of

582
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:25,119
Speaker 2: Miami he was a little more in a slot as

583
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:27,280
Speaker 2: a receiver, but then they put him in a backfit

584
00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:28,080
Speaker 2: at SMU.

585
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:31,080
Speaker 1: Ran the ball. You're like, whoa, this guy's got some skill. Man.

586
00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:33,719
Speaker 2: Maybe you get him on day three and he's just

587
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:36,560
Speaker 2: a different type of weapon compared to what you have

588
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:40,640
Speaker 2: that Okay, this gives us a totally different offensive element.

589
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:44,720
Speaker 2: Then we're even looking at the roster today, like, man,

590
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:46,480
Speaker 2: what can we do with that guy? You know, It's

591
00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:48,520
Speaker 2: like when you draft Will Fuller, You're like, oh, man,

592
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:50,679
Speaker 2: we can take some shots down field. We could do

593
00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:53,359
Speaker 2: some things when we got Will Fuller. Man can't play

594
00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:55,639
Speaker 2: that car that quarters coverage. You just sit there. You know,

595
00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:59,040
Speaker 2: you gotta respect his speed. I think it's the same

596
00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:02,280
Speaker 2: thing with add a piece like a Brishard Smith, adding

597
00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:04,600
Speaker 2: a piece like DJ Giddens from out of Kansas State,

598
00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:07,560
Speaker 2: a little different type guy great in the receiving game,

599
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:10,480
Speaker 2: but still more of a true running back. But man,

600
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:14,760
Speaker 2: I could really see that guy being i'll say dari replacement,

601
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:18,399
Speaker 2: but a younger, a younger guy that could look at

602
00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:20,360
Speaker 2: how Daria is used and go, hey, they could use

603
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:22,639
Speaker 2: me like that, if that, If that makes any sense.

604
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:26,240
Speaker 2: So I think offensively going into this thing, and we'll

605
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:27,920
Speaker 2: save We'll save defense because I want to do the

606
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:30,720
Speaker 2: AFC South in the next segment. Okay, we'll save defense

607
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:33,120
Speaker 2: for later this week, all right, But when you look at.

608
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:35,440
Speaker 1: This offense, and that's kind of the way I want to.

609
00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:37,960
Speaker 2: I wanted to take stock of where we are, because

610
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:40,960
Speaker 2: are you gonna ever at this point of the year

611
00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:43,120
Speaker 2: feel great about what you have?

612
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:46,920
Speaker 1: No? Can you feel good about things? Sure? I think

613
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:50,320
Speaker 1: you can feel good about things. But like you said last.

614
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:51,800
Speaker 2: Year, at this time, we looked at wide receiver and

615
00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:54,679
Speaker 2: went pull hole man, shut it down.

616
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:56,400
Speaker 1: This is going to be fantastic.

617
00:26:56,400 --> 00:27:00,880
Speaker 2: And then again, you can't predict Stefan die tearing ACL.

618
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:05,160
Speaker 2: You can't predict Tank Dell's need getting exploded in Kansas City.

619
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:07,439
Speaker 1: You can't predict those you hope it doesn't.

620
00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:09,840
Speaker 2: You just look at what you have on the roster, right,

621
00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:13,520
Speaker 2: now and go, okay, how are we whether it's a

622
00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:16,359
Speaker 2: comparison to last year, how are we against the teams

623
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:18,880
Speaker 2: we're gonna face. How do we feel about these particular

624
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:22,720
Speaker 2: units offensively? And I think obviously everybody points out offensive line.

625
00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:24,560
Speaker 2: You look at the offensive line, but then a lot

626
00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:29,280
Speaker 2: of additions have they added? Starters don't know I would

627
00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:31,119
Speaker 2: think of all the additions they mad at the offensive line,

628
00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:33,600
Speaker 2: I think one of those guys starts one I don't

629
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:35,440
Speaker 2: know who it is right now, but I think one

630
00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:36,760
Speaker 2: of those guys ends up starting.

631
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:40,800
Speaker 1: I think a draft pick starts and then you.

632
00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:43,879
Speaker 2: Figure it out between Tyus Jarrett, Juice Blake, and some

633
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:45,440
Speaker 2: of the other guys. We mentioned the offensive line, what

634
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:47,320
Speaker 2: that's going to be on the offensive line, and I

635
00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:49,639
Speaker 2: think when you kind of start looking at and take

636
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:51,639
Speaker 2: a stock of where this team is, you're like, okay,

637
00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:54,919
Speaker 2: it's not perfect. It definitely is not perfect, and the

638
00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:57,479
Speaker 2: offensive line is not set where you'd like it to be.

639
00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:01,040
Speaker 2: But you can start to go okay, all right, Like

640
00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:03,639
Speaker 2: they're starting to put the walls up. After we knocked

641
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:06,280
Speaker 2: everything down, we tow it down to the studs. Now

642
00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:09,320
Speaker 2: we're building it back up. And these are the materials

643
00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:11,359
Speaker 2: we have, what can we build with its line? And

644
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:13,879
Speaker 2: I think the other the other thing to consider, especially

645
00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:15,520
Speaker 2: the offensive line, is we've got a couple of new

646
00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:18,119
Speaker 2: carpenters this year. You know, Well that's the big We

647
00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:19,960
Speaker 2: got Nikeley and we got Kopopovich.

648
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:20,439
Speaker 1: Yeah.

649
00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:23,399
Speaker 3: And I think that, along with the opinions of Damiico

650
00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:27,879
Speaker 3: Ryans and Nick Cassario, that led to the dismantling of

651
00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:30,000
Speaker 3: the offensive livest or three of your five starters from

652
00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:32,480
Speaker 3: opening day gone, and now you have what you have.

653
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:35,280
Speaker 3: They clearly did not like the level of performance. And

654
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:38,000
Speaker 3: you saw a big hint last year with the drafting

655
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:40,840
Speaker 3: of Blake Fisher in the second round. That's tackle. Yep,

656
00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:41,400
Speaker 3: you saw that.

657
00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:41,920
Speaker 1: Hmm.

658
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:46,480
Speaker 3: They still have some thoughts here about what might happen

659
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:50,520
Speaker 3: at guard. For instance, we have to move Titus. How

660
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:53,320
Speaker 3: does Blake really fit in? Are we drafting a swing

661
00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:55,720
Speaker 3: tackle or are we drafting a starter? You thought you

662
00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:58,160
Speaker 3: said on draft night? What did I say, he'll be

663
00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:00,880
Speaker 3: your right tackle? I said, they're not. He's not coming

664
00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:03,440
Speaker 3: here to compete to be the swing tackle. He's coming

665
00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:05,720
Speaker 3: to compete to be the starting right tackle.

666
00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:06,240
Speaker 1: Yeah.

667
00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:10,800
Speaker 2: Now, well that would involve moving Titus and what happened

668
00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:15,120
Speaker 2: the last five weeks? Move Titus and Titus handled like

669
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:18,640
Speaker 2: a champ and the offensive line got better when they

670
00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:21,480
Speaker 2: did that. It needs to get significantly better as well.

671
00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:25,480
Speaker 2: How about the AFC South. Let's take stock of what

672
00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:29,720
Speaker 2: teams have done what worries us. We may not ultimately

673
00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:32,240
Speaker 2: be worried about the three teams, but what moves and

674
00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:36,120
Speaker 2: what things have the AFC South team's done that have

675
00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:38,360
Speaker 2: got our I rays that we need to keep an eye.

676
00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:40,200
Speaker 2: We'll do that next right here on Texans All Access.

677
00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:40,960
Speaker 1: Welcome back to this.

678
00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:45,960
Speaker 2: Money edition of Texans All Access from the Texans Radio studio.

679
00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:49,080
Speaker 2: John and Mark Mark. Quick question, because I see this

680
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:53,200
Speaker 2: on TV? How annoyed are you by the Bateman as

681
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:55,920
Speaker 2: Batman commercials that have been on television?

682
00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:59,200
Speaker 1: Wait? Have you not really happening? Is it? No?

683
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:01,479
Speaker 2: No, no, no no, But it's a commercial where Jason

684
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:02,960
Speaker 2: Bateman is playing Batman.

685
00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:05,160
Speaker 1: It's the Bateman instead of the Batman.

686
00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:10,520
Speaker 3: Eh okay, I respect him though, Oh no, I little

687
00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:14,000
Speaker 3: bit white the career later in life, because I know

688
00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:15,600
Speaker 3: earlier in life he had a hell of a career,

689
00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:17,800
Speaker 3: right he was Team Wolf two, not one, but two.

690
00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:21,000
Speaker 3: He did the show whatever it was, the Hogans was

691
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:23,280
Speaker 3: that what it was? I can't remember not getting in

692
00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:25,360
Speaker 3: confused with Kirk Cameron. I don't know that the thing

693
00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:27,520
Speaker 3: you do get him confused with Kirk Cameron. He did

694
00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:30,440
Speaker 3: one of those things. And his sisters Justine Right who

695
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:33,760
Speaker 3: is now a producer or something in Hollywood. Anyway, But

696
00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:36,080
Speaker 3: I respect Bateman for building his career up in his

697
00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:39,160
Speaker 3: forties and now fifties and the SmartLess podcast which I

698
00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:42,720
Speaker 3: during COVID. Yeah, they do a little too much bantering.

699
00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:45,320
Speaker 3: Wait a minute, we're guilty of that too. Sometimes they

700
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:48,600
Speaker 3: do a little too much bantering. But they're they're really good.

701
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:49,560
Speaker 3: They get great guests.

702
00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:52,520
Speaker 2: All right, let's break down the AFC South and take

703
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:54,720
Speaker 2: stock as we did for the Texans offense in the

704
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:57,840
Speaker 2: first segment, Let's take stock of what the Let's start

705
00:30:57,880 --> 00:30:59,200
Speaker 2: with the Inneapolis Colts.

706
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:01,480
Speaker 1: When you look at the roster.

707
00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:05,360
Speaker 2: And there are names, you look at it and go whoa,

708
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:09,040
Speaker 2: because you're so used to seeing the colts have the

709
00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:14,120
Speaker 2: same names. Alec Pierce, Michael Pittman, Josh Downs, Quentin Nelson,

710
00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:15,480
Speaker 2: Ryan Oh.

711
00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:19,440
Speaker 1: There's no Ryan Kelly. Oh, but there is Will Frott.

712
00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:24,200
Speaker 2: There's no Will Fries, Brad Smith did stay yep, and

713
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:25,400
Speaker 2: they still got Jonathan.

714
00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:27,320
Speaker 3: Taylor and they got Nelson. So when you take.

715
00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:32,240
Speaker 2: Stock of the Colts defensively, a lot of the same names,

716
00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:37,080
Speaker 2: but they added a couple guys in the secondary, cam

717
00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:40,719
Speaker 2: Bine them at safety, Travarious Ward at corner because they

718
00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:42,120
Speaker 2: had to Nico proof that team.

719
00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:44,200
Speaker 1: At least that's the way I looked at it. Ooh.

720
00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:49,480
Speaker 2: In typical Colts fashion, they have not done a ton.

721
00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:55,000
Speaker 2: They're pretty much the same team, but the couple of

722
00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:59,240
Speaker 2: moves they have made you look at it and go mmmm, okay.

723
00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:04,040
Speaker 2: Significant your thoughts on Daniel Jones as the backup quarterback

724
00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:08,200
Speaker 2: or competing quarterback with Anthony Richardson, Annie Khalill Herbert from

725
00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:11,600
Speaker 2: the Cincanti Bengals, and then the two secondary members cam

726
00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:14,280
Speaker 2: Bine and Savarius Award. How much better does that secondary

727
00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:14,840
Speaker 2: become with them?

728
00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:17,600
Speaker 3: Our broadcast booth is always liked Herbert, always thought he

729
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:18,800
Speaker 3: was a good players.

730
00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:20,440
Speaker 1: True, it's nice depth player for them.

731
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:22,560
Speaker 3: With Jonathan Taylor if he gets hurt whatever, they still

732
00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:24,920
Speaker 3: have Tyler Goodson, the guy who dropped the ball on

733
00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:28,080
Speaker 3: twenty twenty three. They still have him. But to me,

734
00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:30,840
Speaker 3: you said it, Johnny. It's a lot of the same

735
00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:34,280
Speaker 3: guys other than the line, which they have filled internally,

736
00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:37,320
Speaker 3: right for now, For now it's internal, that's right. But

737
00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:39,760
Speaker 3: other than the line, the two guys in the secondary,

738
00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:44,320
Speaker 3: and Daniel Jones reserve quarterback because he gonna play, all right,

739
00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:47,800
Speaker 3: Daniel Jones is gonna play some QB here. Anthony Richardson,

740
00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:53,920
Speaker 3: even starting opening day, projected not to last for whatever reason. Now,

741
00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:56,480
Speaker 3: if he does, it'll be amazing for them that he's

742
00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:58,560
Speaker 3: able to go to the distance or most of it.

743
00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:02,360
Speaker 3: But in all likelihood, no, because two years ago Minshew

744
00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:05,160
Speaker 3: had to play. Last year Flacco had to play. Daniel

745
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:06,680
Speaker 3: Jones is going to have to play. I mean, this

746
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:09,800
Speaker 3: is pretty easy to predict. How will he do, We

747
00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:13,880
Speaker 3: don't know. But they didn't really win with Flaco. They

748
00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:16,120
Speaker 3: won a bunch of games with Minshew, but they lost

749
00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:18,640
Speaker 3: to you know, they finished what nine and eight that year,

750
00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:22,440
Speaker 3: So I don't know if Jones makes the difference. One

751
00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:25,760
Speaker 3: thing Jones can do and Minshew can run a little bit,

752
00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:28,680
Speaker 3: but Jones can run with the football. Jones he can

753
00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:32,120
Speaker 3: get you some first stance. And Jones, at this stage

754
00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:34,320
Speaker 3: of his career, if he gets in there. If and

755
00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:36,640
Speaker 3: when he gets in there, I think he's going to

756
00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:40,840
Speaker 3: sacrifice the body because hey, this is my last chance

757
00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:42,640
Speaker 3: maybe to do something in this league, and I'm with

758
00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:46,600
Speaker 3: a pretty decent team relatively, and you know, I might

759
00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:48,800
Speaker 3: be able to uplift this team into something good in

760
00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:51,520
Speaker 3: this division, especially if the Texans have some struggles for

761
00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:54,560
Speaker 3: whatever reason. I think Jones is a pretty significant if

762
00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:58,640
Speaker 3: I had to go over the top needle moving acquisitions

763
00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:02,480
Speaker 3: in the division, he's a top five acquisition here because

764
00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:06,800
Speaker 3: he's a quarterback. Yeah, he's probably gonna play based on

765
00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:08,239
Speaker 3: their recent history.

766
00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:08,560
Speaker 1: At this point.

767
00:34:08,680 --> 00:34:10,719
Speaker 2: If Cam Warri gants drafted by the time, yeah, and

768
00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:13,520
Speaker 2: obviously that gets thrown in there as well. I think

769
00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:16,160
Speaker 2: one of the more underrated losses for them is Dioa

770
00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:18,720
Speaker 2: Dingbo who ends up going I think it was the Bears.

771
00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:21,360
Speaker 2: I think that's a good move for the Bears. I

772
00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:25,080
Speaker 2: was glad to see him really out. I do worry

773
00:34:25,080 --> 00:34:27,279
Speaker 2: that the Colts will get active in the draft and

774
00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:30,560
Speaker 2: maybe try and find another another edge guy, another athlete

775
00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:34,879
Speaker 2: to put opposite of Laoutu Latsu. They still have Quitty Pay,

776
00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:36,960
Speaker 2: who I think has kind of been under I think

777
00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:41,359
Speaker 2: he's underperformed Samson Ebicom coming back will be good for them,

778
00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:43,560
Speaker 2: but I think they're gonna have to find another another

779
00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:47,560
Speaker 2: difference maker up front. Linebackers They don't They don't scare

780
00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:50,839
Speaker 2: me much at all, but I think big tackles though. Yeah,

781
00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:53,239
Speaker 2: they still have the Forest Buckner and Grover Stewart, which

782
00:34:53,239 --> 00:34:55,080
Speaker 2: I hate seeing, but I'm really curious.

783
00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:57,520
Speaker 1: They were very you know, when Ryan Kelly had been

784
00:34:57,600 --> 00:34:58,520
Speaker 1: kind of dealing with injuries.

785
00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:01,000
Speaker 2: Tannerborderleini steps in its center for them, that's going to be,

786
00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:02,800
Speaker 2: I think, an interesting one to watch.

787
00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:04,960
Speaker 1: Dalton Tucker played a lot of right guard last year.

788
00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:05,760
Speaker 1: I thought he did okay.

789
00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:09,120
Speaker 2: College free agent rookie, He's done some good things, but

790
00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:11,640
Speaker 2: he's not Will Fries. So I think where the Colts

791
00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:17,400
Speaker 2: can maybe make some headway is with Pierce Pittman downs.

792
00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:19,880
Speaker 2: If ad Ni Mitchell ends up starting to kind of

793
00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:22,600
Speaker 2: get it at wide receiver, if you get him playing

794
00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:25,040
Speaker 2: at a high level with those three wide receivers, and

795
00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:27,120
Speaker 2: now you've really got kind of a three four wide receiver,

796
00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:30,040
Speaker 2: you know, mixed there. That's a It's just a matter

797
00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:32,120
Speaker 2: of who's throwing the ball and how consistent can they be.

798
00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:34,479
Speaker 2: If those two guys are throwing them the ball top

799
00:35:34,520 --> 00:35:37,560
Speaker 2: to bottom. That group, that's a good group. Without Tech

800
00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:40,160
Speaker 2: Dell on the Texans, that's a better group. Yes than

801
00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:44,920
Speaker 2: the Texts. No, but they got everybody else. That's because Pittman'

802
00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:48,680
Speaker 2: is a solid one. Pierce has become a real deep threat.

803
00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:50,719
Speaker 2: Josh Allens, I think is one of the more underrated guys.

804
00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:54,480
Speaker 2: And Mitchell is a total wildcard. I'd love total tea. Yes,

805
00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:57,920
Speaker 2: oh yes, I wish. I hope Christian Kirk gives us that. Okay,

806
00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:05,040
Speaker 2: let's go to the Tennessee Titans because they have spent money. Now,

807
00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:07,560
Speaker 2: when I look at our lads who has helped us

808
00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:09,720
Speaker 2: with their depth charts, they kind of color code things

809
00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:14,800
Speaker 2: and guys in orange. They have as free agent signings,

810
00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:20,040
Speaker 2: they have six, according to our lads, six new free

811
00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:25,280
Speaker 2: agent starters. Van Jefferson wide receiver. They paid eighty million

812
00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:28,279
Speaker 2: dollars to Dan Moore to play left tackle. They added

813
00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:30,520
Speaker 2: Kevin Zeitler a one year deal at guard, a guy

814
00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:32,839
Speaker 2: I know a lot of people in Houston wanted at guard,

815
00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:34,600
Speaker 2: which I thought would have been a good fit for us.

816
00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:38,200
Speaker 2: That at Draymont Jones on the defensive line, Cody Barton,

817
00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:40,280
Speaker 2: linebacker from out from the Broncos.

818
00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:41,840
Speaker 1: Xavier Woods played a lot.

819
00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:46,000
Speaker 2: Of football for the Cowboys and then the Panthers. He

820
00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:49,040
Speaker 2: will start at one of the safety spots. What do

821
00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:53,480
Speaker 2: you feel about the Titans with this caveat they draft

822
00:36:53,520 --> 00:36:57,839
Speaker 2: cam Ward to play behind a much improved, seemingly offensive line.

823
00:36:57,960 --> 00:36:59,040
Speaker 2: Let's take stock of the Titans.

824
00:36:59,080 --> 00:36:59,560
Speaker 1: What do you think?

825
00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:05,239
Speaker 3: I I'm looking at the receivers with great skepticism here.

826
00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:06,200
Speaker 1: Yes, I agree with that.

827
00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:10,040
Speaker 3: You know Ridley, Yeah, but Ridley has those those moments

828
00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:15,640
Speaker 3: where he disappears or drops balls or whatever. Tony Pollard

829
00:37:15,719 --> 00:37:18,680
Speaker 3: looked good last year. They've never gotten out of spears.

830
00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:21,160
Speaker 3: What we were concerned they would get our spears.

831
00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:25,200
Speaker 2: Hasn't been fully healthy going. He's not healthy. Yeah, it's

832
00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:27,880
Speaker 2: it's been a tough go for pre draft. We're talking.

833
00:37:29,239 --> 00:37:31,319
Speaker 2: Conquo is pretty good. We saw him catch and run

834
00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:32,080
Speaker 2: along one here.

835
00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:33,480
Speaker 1: We're still chasing him.

836
00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:36,080
Speaker 3: I'm not worried about the Titans even with Ward for now,

837
00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:38,200
Speaker 3: but I think it could make the difference. Look, we

838
00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:43,760
Speaker 3: lost to this team last years lost. The Titans lost,

839
00:37:44,239 --> 00:37:47,279
Speaker 3: you know, so that could happen again. But I'm not

840
00:37:47,880 --> 00:37:52,920
Speaker 3: concerned about them making this huge leap to really shake

841
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:56,279
Speaker 3: up the division. Right five six wins, Okay, I think

842
00:37:56,280 --> 00:37:57,759
Speaker 3: it's somewhere in there, Johnny.

843
00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:01,720
Speaker 2: I think Defensively, even though they had Jones Barton Woods,

844
00:38:02,640 --> 00:38:04,640
Speaker 2: I mean the jerryus Need is supposed to be a playmaker,

845
00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:05,839
Speaker 2: I really don't see him that way.

846
00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:08,000
Speaker 1: I mean, they really have Simmons and sweat inside.

847
00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:11,759
Speaker 2: They kept yardage totals low, I know, but that was

848
00:38:11,800 --> 00:38:16,160
Speaker 2: because their offense kept giving them an opportunity to stay

849
00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:18,680
Speaker 2: on the bench because they would just score and the

850
00:38:18,719 --> 00:38:20,600
Speaker 2: offense would have to go back on the field. Last year,

851
00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:23,200
Speaker 2: think about that, because we moved the ball in these

852
00:38:23,239 --> 00:38:25,920
Speaker 2: guys pretty well either, you know, even at home we

853
00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:28,440
Speaker 2: didn't play well, but we moved the ball on when

854
00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:31,000
Speaker 2: we wanted to. And I just I think Cam's gonna

855
00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:33,160
Speaker 2: end up making an impact for them at some point.

856
00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:35,759
Speaker 2: But I just don't it's not gonna be right away.

857
00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:38,440
Speaker 2: And I think that offensive line is getting a little

858
00:38:38,719 --> 00:38:42,200
Speaker 2: bit of too much love. They've added more than added Zeitler,

859
00:38:42,239 --> 00:38:43,920
Speaker 2: and that move Latham over the right tackle, which I

860
00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:46,000
Speaker 2: think is gonna help him, so they kind of get

861
00:38:46,239 --> 00:38:48,040
Speaker 2: two for one with the more signing.

862
00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:49,239
Speaker 1: I just don't think Dan's.

863
00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:51,799
Speaker 2: Really good as an NFL tackle right now, even though

864
00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:53,160
Speaker 2: they paid him a lot of money. I think he's

865
00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:56,319
Speaker 2: done some okay things, but I don't think he's really.

866
00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:57,640
Speaker 1: Reached that level as a tackle.

867
00:38:57,680 --> 00:38:59,799
Speaker 2: But that just shows you kind of the dearth of

868
00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:03,879
Speaker 2: in the market at this So I'm with you. Let's

869
00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:08,440
Speaker 2: get to the Jags, final team in the division. What

870
00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:12,279
Speaker 2: have they done well? They gave us Christian Kirk, that

871
00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:15,640
Speaker 2: was nice of them in a trade. Offensively, they added

872
00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:18,640
Speaker 2: Diami Brown to go with Brian Thomas Junior, a deep threat.

873
00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:22,680
Speaker 2: They had two interior editions with Robert Hainsey at center

874
00:39:22,719 --> 00:39:26,400
Speaker 2: formerly the Bucks, Patrick McCarey with the Baltimore Ravens. Okay,

875
00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:28,480
Speaker 2: then they added Eric Murray, a guy we know, and

876
00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:32,640
Speaker 2: then they added Jordan Lewis at nickelback on defense the Jags,

877
00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:36,680
Speaker 2: as I look at it, Oh, they also added Liam

878
00:39:36,680 --> 00:39:39,960
Speaker 2: Cohen and the Magnificent Gladstone is at GM and I

879
00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:42,040
Speaker 2: think that matters because I think Liam Cohen if he

880
00:39:42,080 --> 00:39:44,799
Speaker 2: finds and strikes the right cord Trevor Lawrence, you never know.

881
00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:49,920
Speaker 2: But they've I mean by personnel, the Texas have actually

882
00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:54,240
Speaker 2: added more in personnel than either one of these three teams.

883
00:39:54,520 --> 00:39:55,600
Speaker 1: Which I find interesting.

884
00:39:55,719 --> 00:39:58,960
Speaker 2: But these teams spent a little bit more to get

885
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:00,960
Speaker 2: some of the guys they were looking foreign free agency

886
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:04,600
Speaker 2: and Diamie Brown, Hainesy McCarry Jags take stock of them.

887
00:40:04,640 --> 00:40:06,319
Speaker 1: How do you feel if.

888
00:40:06,239 --> 00:40:09,320
Speaker 3: I'm a Jaguar fan, I don't feel very good. I'm hopeful.

889
00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:12,880
Speaker 3: The only hope here is that Trevor Lawrence somehow turns

890
00:40:12,920 --> 00:40:15,280
Speaker 3: into what they wanted him to be and he plays

891
00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:17,600
Speaker 3: at the level of his best games. If he could

892
00:40:17,600 --> 00:40:21,560
Speaker 3: do that, that's something, because his best games, you know,

893
00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:23,759
Speaker 3: it's the old Charlie Epps golf swing thing.

894
00:40:23,800 --> 00:40:25,000
Speaker 1: You're as good as your best swing.

895
00:40:25,040 --> 00:40:27,920
Speaker 3: Potentially, his best games have been very good, and look,

896
00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:30,120
Speaker 3: we've seen him put up points against the Houston Texans

897
00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:33,240
Speaker 3: and a lot of other teams. I got a feeling

898
00:40:33,280 --> 00:40:37,320
Speaker 3: though it's not going to happen. Maybe it got toxic

899
00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:40,680
Speaker 3: or whatever with Doug Peterson. I just have a hard

900
00:40:40,680 --> 00:40:43,480
Speaker 3: time believing it. I'm still perplexed as to why that

901
00:40:43,520 --> 00:40:47,360
Speaker 3: didn't work better. I get not working to the level

902
00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:50,080
Speaker 3: that you want, but I don't get not winning eight

903
00:40:50,120 --> 00:40:52,959
Speaker 3: to nine last year. I don't get that. I don't

904
00:40:53,040 --> 00:40:55,360
Speaker 3: understand it. I know Lawrence got banged up. So what

905
00:40:55,760 --> 00:40:57,719
Speaker 3: you know, You're supposed to have a good program to

906
00:40:57,840 --> 00:41:02,040
Speaker 3: year three at the time of the Doug Peterson program,

907
00:41:02,600 --> 00:41:04,640
Speaker 3: and you made the playoffs your first year. He shocked

908
00:41:04,680 --> 00:41:07,600
Speaker 3: the world and won the AFC South. I was so

909
00:41:07,800 --> 00:41:11,640
Speaker 3: surprised about that. I don't know, is Lawrence really going

910
00:41:11,719 --> 00:41:13,920
Speaker 3: to materialize at this point of his career? To me,

911
00:41:14,040 --> 00:41:16,239
Speaker 3: I know, we're not that deep into it, but we're

912
00:41:16,320 --> 00:41:18,279
Speaker 3: kind of getting there. We're kind of getting into this

913
00:41:18,680 --> 00:41:21,759
Speaker 3: middle stage where I'm not going to say you are

914
00:41:21,880 --> 00:41:22,640
Speaker 3: what you are.

915
00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:24,839
Speaker 1: But you are what you put on tape. So far,

916
00:41:24,920 --> 00:41:27,839
Speaker 1: he's gonna have to take a big jump. I think

917
00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:29,400
Speaker 1: you're exactly right, and I ain't gonna.

918
00:41:29,200 --> 00:41:31,520
Speaker 3: Be able to run the ball well enough to counter

919
00:41:31,640 --> 00:41:32,759
Speaker 3: whatever he does not have.

920
00:41:33,640 --> 00:41:36,440
Speaker 2: So is it as simple as saying that Jags are

921
00:41:36,520 --> 00:41:39,279
Speaker 2: going as far as Trevor Lawrence and Liam Cohen's low

922
00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:39,960
Speaker 2: affair takes that.

923
00:41:40,360 --> 00:41:44,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it better get off to a great start. Yeah,

924
00:41:44,480 --> 00:41:48,040
Speaker 3: because imagine the Jags at two and five or let's

925
00:41:48,040 --> 00:41:50,160
Speaker 3: just go one and four, and it's just not.

926
00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:52,560
Speaker 1: Especially I mean Trevor last year.

927
00:41:52,600 --> 00:41:55,040
Speaker 2: I mean, obviously we know he was injured after the

928
00:41:55,239 --> 00:41:56,759
Speaker 2: is he's hit and set out the rest of the year,

929
00:41:56,760 --> 00:41:58,759
Speaker 2: but even before that he was injured. I don't know

930
00:41:58,840 --> 00:42:01,080
Speaker 2: Trevor played all that well. We played him here in

931
00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:03,000
Speaker 2: Houston in Week four.

932
00:42:03,480 --> 00:42:08,399
Speaker 3: He missed multiple deeper SI was not fright. A lot

933
00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:12,560
Speaker 3: of misses inaccurate with the outs. Just you know one

934
00:42:12,600 --> 00:42:14,719
Speaker 3: of those. You know when you get those, it's third

935
00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:18,000
Speaker 3: and six, quarterback goes back to pass the opponent and

936
00:42:18,400 --> 00:42:21,040
Speaker 3: just sales the ball or it's just like he's throwing

937
00:42:21,080 --> 00:42:22,799
Speaker 3: it a little too far to the outside the guys

938
00:42:22,840 --> 00:42:26,600
Speaker 3: to the inside. That proficiency isn't there in the passing game.

939
00:42:26,920 --> 00:42:31,160
Speaker 3: This is Doug Peterson, Super Bowl winner with a backup quarterback.

940
00:42:31,239 --> 00:42:32,560
Speaker 1: At the time as the twinner.

941
00:42:32,680 --> 00:42:36,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, why can't you do it with generational talent? Air

942
00:42:36,239 --> 00:42:40,200
Speaker 3: quotes Trevor Lawrence. I don't know. Didn't happen? Is Liam

943
00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:42,520
Speaker 3: Khne gonna be able to bring that out? Look, say

944
00:42:42,520 --> 00:42:44,840
Speaker 3: what you will about Liam Cohne and Mayfield or whatever.

945
00:42:44,920 --> 00:42:48,759
Speaker 3: Last year, I credit Mayfield with a lot of that.

946
00:42:49,160 --> 00:42:54,560
Speaker 3: Mayfield himself fiery competitor, not perfect at all, but man,

947
00:42:54,600 --> 00:42:57,840
Speaker 3: he's gonna ball out. And I think Mayfield's short stint

948
00:42:57,960 --> 00:43:00,839
Speaker 3: with Sean McVay. McVay is a great healer, I believe,

949
00:43:00,880 --> 00:43:02,120
Speaker 3: yep for coaches and players.

950
00:43:02,160 --> 00:43:02,680
Speaker 1: I think so too.

951
00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:05,759
Speaker 3: His short stint with Sean McVay really helped him.

952
00:43:05,920 --> 00:43:08,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you're right, absolutely right. So we'll see

953
00:43:08,760 --> 00:43:11,799
Speaker 2: what Trevor Lawrence does with Liam Cohen. All the additions

954
00:43:12,239 --> 00:43:15,520
Speaker 2: the Jaguars, yet comes down to what sixteen does every

955
00:43:15,640 --> 00:43:17,680
Speaker 2: single Sunday. All right, we get back, We'll go round

956
00:43:17,680 --> 00:43:21,200
Speaker 2: the league. What has happened and what we got the

957
00:43:21,200 --> 00:43:24,840
Speaker 2: owners meetings coming up? Rule changes, are they happening or not?

958
00:43:24,960 --> 00:43:27,200
Speaker 2: We'll discuss all that next on Texans All Access. We're

959
00:43:27,360 --> 00:43:29,920
Speaker 2: one final segment of this edition of Texans All Access

960
00:43:29,960 --> 00:43:33,239
Speaker 2: from the Monday Texans Radio studio. I'm your host, John

961
00:43:33,239 --> 00:43:36,440
Speaker 2: Harris Foot playing on the sideline reporter for your Houston Texas.

962
00:43:36,760 --> 00:43:40,880
Speaker 2: Glad to be with you. Mark and I talked about

963
00:43:40,920 --> 00:43:43,839
Speaker 2: in the first segment. You know, where where are the

964
00:43:43,880 --> 00:43:46,160
Speaker 2: Texans right now? What have they got going on?

965
00:43:46,920 --> 00:43:47,799
Speaker 1: You off? It's a line.

966
00:43:47,800 --> 00:43:51,160
Speaker 2: There's been a ton of changes, five new players being

967
00:43:51,280 --> 00:43:55,800
Speaker 2: added to the roster, three leaving the roster made official today.

968
00:43:55,800 --> 00:44:00,919
Speaker 2: Trent Brown added to the Texans roster official eleven years

969
00:44:00,920 --> 00:44:01,560
Speaker 2: out of Florida.

970
00:44:01,719 --> 00:44:03,000
Speaker 1: I think, guess I can finally tell.

971
00:44:02,880 --> 00:44:07,440
Speaker 2: My my Senior Bowl story. When Trey was at the

972
00:44:07,480 --> 00:44:15,359
Speaker 2: Senior Bowl, I remember like just enormous, and I don't

973
00:44:15,360 --> 00:44:18,960
Speaker 2: know what had happened, but Trent came out the very

974
00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:22,680
Speaker 2: first day and he was wearing like this white helmet

975
00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:27,320
Speaker 2: and it was not his Florida helmet.

976
00:44:27,440 --> 00:44:29,800
Speaker 1: So I kind of wondered, like what had.

977
00:44:29,600 --> 00:44:34,719
Speaker 2: Happened, And so I asked what had happened, and they said, oh, yeah, well,

978
00:44:34,719 --> 00:44:37,120
Speaker 2: Trent's equipment for some reason didn't get here on time,

979
00:44:38,320 --> 00:44:42,320
Speaker 2: and we had to find him a helmet because apparently

980
00:44:42,440 --> 00:44:44,080
Speaker 2: none of the helmets that they kind of had on

981
00:44:44,160 --> 00:44:48,080
Speaker 2: hand any at South Alabama, any anything, would actually work

982
00:44:48,680 --> 00:44:53,080
Speaker 2: for Trent because like yours, truly, and I'll tell you

983
00:44:53,120 --> 00:44:55,479
Speaker 2: my story, they didn't have a helmet to fit his head.

984
00:44:55,560 --> 00:44:58,160
Speaker 2: And I've got almost a size eight inch head, like

985
00:44:58,239 --> 00:45:01,239
Speaker 2: I When I was growing up kid, they called me

986
00:45:01,239 --> 00:45:02,799
Speaker 2: a hundred watt because I had this big old head

987
00:45:02,800 --> 00:45:03,479
Speaker 2: his skinny body.

988
00:45:03,480 --> 00:45:04,840
Speaker 1: It looked like a light bulb apparently.

989
00:45:05,440 --> 00:45:07,520
Speaker 2: And so when I was a freshman in high school,

990
00:45:08,320 --> 00:45:09,840
Speaker 2: I got moved up to the sophomore team. Well, the

991
00:45:09,880 --> 00:45:12,960
Speaker 2: sophomore team you wore these silver you were our silver

992
00:45:13,040 --> 00:45:18,600
Speaker 2: helmets or gray helmets, and they didn't have one.

993
00:45:18,480 --> 00:45:18,920
Speaker 1: To fit me.

994
00:45:19,000 --> 00:45:21,280
Speaker 2: So I had to wear one of the off colored

995
00:45:21,280 --> 00:45:23,920
Speaker 2: white helmets. And my mom was the only way. My

996
00:45:23,960 --> 00:45:25,360
Speaker 2: mom could find me. She just knew I had a

997
00:45:25,360 --> 00:45:28,440
Speaker 2: different colored helmet all because I had a massive head. Well,

998
00:45:28,440 --> 00:45:31,360
Speaker 2: Trent couldn't find his helmet to fit him because his

999
00:45:31,920 --> 00:45:34,000
Speaker 2: gear hadn't gotten there. It got there the next day

1000
00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:35,840
Speaker 2: and he actually had a really nice performance at the

1001
00:45:35,880 --> 00:45:38,080
Speaker 2: Senior Bowl, which I remember there's so many people.

1002
00:45:37,840 --> 00:45:39,520
Speaker 1: Down on him because the didn't really know what to

1003
00:45:39,600 --> 00:45:40,520
Speaker 1: expect from him.

1004
00:45:40,920 --> 00:45:42,480
Speaker 2: And I'll be honest, I don't really know what to

1005
00:45:42,480 --> 00:45:44,720
Speaker 2: expect him going into year eleven here with the Texans.

1006
00:45:45,239 --> 00:45:46,800
Speaker 2: Does he end up being a swing tackle? Does he

1007
00:45:46,880 --> 00:45:49,680
Speaker 2: ended up starting a right tackle? Hard to say, but

1008
00:45:49,800 --> 00:45:53,520
Speaker 2: Trent Brown is here in Houston, And whenever Trent Brown

1009
00:45:53,560 --> 00:45:56,719
Speaker 2: has been counted out in some sense or regard, he

1010
00:45:56,800 --> 00:45:59,920
Speaker 2: has always risen up to the challenge and given his

1011
00:46:00,160 --> 00:46:03,120
Speaker 2: organization like more than they could ever thought.

1012
00:46:03,200 --> 00:46:04,000
Speaker 1: I mean the Patriots.

1013
00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:06,960
Speaker 2: I remember the Patriots signing him and I thought, well,

1014
00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:09,560
Speaker 2: this isn't gonna go well, and he ended up playing

1015
00:46:09,600 --> 00:46:12,279
Speaker 2: extremely well. In one of the Super Bowl seasons. So

1016
00:46:12,920 --> 00:46:16,320
Speaker 2: Trent Brown a Texan along with the other offensive lineman

1017
00:46:16,360 --> 00:46:19,239
Speaker 2: that we talked about, but five new offensive linemen, and

1018
00:46:19,239 --> 00:46:22,040
Speaker 2: that doesn't even count Jayalen Thomas who got hurt training camp,

1019
00:46:22,840 --> 00:46:25,760
Speaker 2: the Darius Henderson who was drafted but then was injured

1020
00:46:25,800 --> 00:46:28,000
Speaker 2: and had to rehab all year long. It doesn't include

1021
00:46:28,000 --> 00:46:30,920
Speaker 2: those two that have really not even set foot on

1022
00:46:30,960 --> 00:46:34,319
Speaker 2: a field for much for the Texans. So hopefully there

1023
00:46:34,360 --> 00:46:38,200
Speaker 2: might be something there, as I described in the first segment,

1024
00:46:38,320 --> 00:46:42,040
Speaker 2: So it is good to see Trent Brown officially a

1025
00:46:42,160 --> 00:46:49,080
Speaker 2: Houston Texan. Colorado will have their pro Day extravaganza depending

1026
00:46:49,080 --> 00:46:53,120
Speaker 2: on how you classify what they're calling it later this weekend,

1027
00:46:53,120 --> 00:46:56,080
Speaker 2: and we'll be on NFL Network. You know, the Sanders

1028
00:46:56,200 --> 00:46:59,759
Speaker 2: is never run away from anything that they do, so

1029
00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:02,319
Speaker 2: you can a chance to see Shdor throw the ball

1030
00:47:02,440 --> 00:47:04,400
Speaker 2: and Travis Hunro will be catching some routes.

1031
00:47:04,880 --> 00:47:06,320
Speaker 1: So I'll be on NFL Network.

1032
00:47:06,400 --> 00:47:08,880
Speaker 2: I want to say April seventh was that day, but

1033
00:47:09,400 --> 00:47:12,600
Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure it's in April either way. April fourth,

1034
00:47:12,640 --> 00:47:18,279
Speaker 2: excuse me, the Colorado Buffalo's football showcase from Boulder will

1035
00:47:18,320 --> 00:47:21,680
Speaker 2: be seen on NFL Network. Cam Ward had his Pro

1036
00:47:21,800 --> 00:47:25,279
Speaker 2: day today. He threw obviously, video of that has just

1037
00:47:25,320 --> 00:47:28,040
Speaker 2: been popping up all over Twitter, and it's just it's

1038
00:47:28,080 --> 00:47:30,200
Speaker 2: incredible to watching him throw the ball. The West Columbia

1039
00:47:30,239 --> 00:47:34,400
Speaker 2: grad doing some tremendous stuff with the canes and probably

1040
00:47:34,400 --> 00:47:36,960
Speaker 2: gonna be the first pick to the Tennessee Titans.

1041
00:47:36,560 --> 00:47:39,280
Speaker 1: But we will see very very soon.

1042
00:47:39,320 --> 00:47:41,520
Speaker 2: All right, at the show, appreciate Mark being here, all

1043
00:47:41,640 --> 00:47:42,440
Speaker 2: you guys were listening.

1044
00:47:42,440 --> 00:47:44,600
Speaker 1: We'll see tomorrow everybody, and as always, go Texans.
