21
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:17,319

23
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:24,040

27
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 1: and he was talking about he hasn't eaten I think

28
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 1: red meat in a certain amount of time, and I'm like, whoa,

29
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:40,959
Speaker 1: you know a lot. I love red meat, but you

30
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 1: know you can't have it all the time. And if

00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 1: chase around. I feel like Burgess Meredith and Sylvester stallone

40
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 1: and Rocky two. It's like you gotta train for speed,

41
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 1: like chasing that little chicken around the coup, like, come on,

42

44
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,960
Speaker 1: workout you can you can have, So it's the best

45
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 1: workout you can Oh my gosh. I mean, I'm a

46
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 1: late bloomer. So I've got a six year old and

47
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 1: I'm thirty nine and three quarters years old. That's all

48
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 1: I'll say about my age. I mean, I mean, you

49
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 1: just you eat less. Some people will say don't eat

50
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:37,359
Speaker 1: the carbs and that kind of thing, but there's so

51
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 1: many different theories. Who did I hear the other day?

52
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 1: I think it was maybe Joe Thomas has lost some

53
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 1: weight and they're like, well, what did you do, Joe?

54
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:48,239
Speaker 1: And he said, I ate between eleven and six. Yeah.

55
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 1: They say don't eat three hours before bedtime, which is

56
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 1: smart anyway, especially if you have reflux issues. You can't

57
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 1: do that. And I've got some reflux. Then you can

58
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 1: do with Joe Warhead, the Mississippi State Head, he's doing.

59
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 1: He fasts all day. That's just doesn't do it till

60
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:04,239
Speaker 1: six pm. I'll pass out. I die. I mean, I

61
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:06,239
Speaker 1: don't know how Kim and Lajiwan did that. Back in

62
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 1: the day. During Ramadan. I mean, come on, I couldn't

63
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,919
Speaker 1: even drink water. Forget it, I couldn't do it. Oh yeah, yea,

64
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 1: that's tough. Okay. So it's been a tough day, and

65
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 1: it's been it's been an exciting day and a tough

66
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 1: day at Sports Radio six ten. And it's interesting because

67
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 1: I was in Sarah Frasier's office in the last week

68
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 1: and she's got a picture of when the Beatles visited

69
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:30,519
Speaker 1: Houston in the I think it was sixty four sixty five,

70
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,960
Speaker 1: and Dicky Rosenfeldt owned the station back then and he

71
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 1: was instrumental in bringing the Beatles to Houston. And they're

72
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 1: all these and I'm gonna tweet out a picture at

73
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 1: some point, but they're all these great pictures. He can

74
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 1: probably google one of the Beatles playing at sam Houston

75
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 1: Coliseum and it says kilt on the drum set. So cool,

76
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 1: you know that it says kilt on the drum set

77
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 1: of Ringo as the Beatles are playing. I mean, it's

78
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 1: so Houston and British invasion and all of it. Anyway,

79
00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 1: this is a historic radio station. This is a dynamite

80
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 1: radio station. This is a great radio station, and it

81
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 1: will continue to be a great radio station. And it's

82
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 1: a sad day Rich Lord departs the station today. And

83
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 1: I can't say enough about Rich. Rich is such a

84
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 1: great pro He's a radio legend in this city. He

85
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 1: was so instrumental in the emergence of Sports Radio six

86
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 1: ten as these sports broadcasting power in Houston, and it

87
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 1: still is and Rich had so much to do with that.

88
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:33,720
Speaker 1: So we have to pay tribute to that and acknowledge

89
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:38,279
Speaker 1: the accomplishments, the contribution and the greatness of Rich Lord.

90
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 1: And so many advertisers have loved him, so many fans

91
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 1: have loved him and still do. And Rich has just

92
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:49,360
Speaker 1: meant so much to the history, to the fabric of

93
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:51,800
Speaker 1: sports Radio six ten. I had the pleasure of doing

94
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:55,599
Speaker 1: afternoons with Rich from two thousand and four Fall to

95
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:59,719
Speaker 1: two thousand and seven Springs, So kids, I yes, I

96
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 1: us to work with Rich Lord in the afternoon. He

97
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:04,360
Speaker 1: and I held it down. That's after Charlie Polila left

98
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:06,840
Speaker 1: the station. I took over his spot and it was

99
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:09,280
Speaker 1: a really strange space to be in because those two

100
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 1: were so great together for so long, and I had

101
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 1: to go work with Rich and try to fill those shoes.

102
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:15,839
Speaker 1: And we did a different kind of show because it's me,

103
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 1: it's not him, And that's what happens when you join

104
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:20,600
Speaker 1: up with another partner. You know, this is well was

105
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:24,840
Speaker 1: anybody Johnny and I just think that the space those

106
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 1: two occupied on six ten and then I was fortunate

107
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 1: to hold down the afternoon with him for two and

108
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 1: a half years, and it was just a pleasure to

109
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 1: be able to be in that spot during a great

110
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 1: time in the history of this station. And everybody has

111
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 1: worked with Rich has done well, all right, So really

112
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 1: it's true. I mean ratings with Jackson and Josh Innis

113
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 1: and everybody has worked with Rich has done well, you know.

114
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:51,360
Speaker 1: And I know that all things come to an end,

115
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 1: and Rich's time with Sports Radio six ten came to

116
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 1: an end today, but I can't say enough about him

117
00:05:56,320 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 1: and what he's done for this radio station. So hats

118
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 1: off to you, Rich, And I know everything's gonna work

119
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 1: out great for Rich. He's a great professional, all right. Also,

120
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 1: and I know you have some things to say, but

121
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna roll. Also, today Mike Meltzer departs the station,

122
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 1: and I love Mike. Mike did updates for John Lopez

123
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:15,480
Speaker 1: and myself when we were doing morning drive together, which

124
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:18,600
Speaker 1: was another outstanding time for me in the history of

125
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:20,479
Speaker 1: this station. I mean, I had the great blessing of

126
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:22,480
Speaker 1: working with Rich and then I went to the mornings

127
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 1: with Andrea Ware for a couple of years and that

128
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 1: was just so much fun. And Andrea was working nine

129
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 1: days a week, so it was a little too much

130
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 1: for him maybe, and then we transitioned into the Lopez

131
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 1: era with me, and that was just so much fun.

132
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:39,040
Speaker 1: I mean, we really had so many joyous times together

133
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:40,720
Speaker 1: on the air, and I think the listeners shared in that.

134
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:43,600
Speaker 1: And then Mike was doing updates for us, first Josh

135
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 1: and then Mike, and Mike eventually got his own show

136
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:48,839
Speaker 1: on the station. And you know, Mike worked his way

137
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,160
Speaker 1: up from the New York area and worked for Sirius

138
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:53,839
Speaker 1: XM satellite radio and did a bunch of jobs and

139
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 1: went to Syracuse. Obviously outstanding broadcaster. And I know, and

140
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 1: he's going to be a lawyer. Think he's taking the

141
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:02,040
Speaker 1: bar soon or something like that. And I I don't want

142
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 1: to speak for him, but I think he has so

143
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 1: many options and he's he's gonna do great. But his

144
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 1: time with Sports Radio six ten comes to an end

145
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 1: as well, and I think he's meant a great deal

146
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 1: to this radio station. So those two guys, those two professionals, UH,

147
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:18,680
Speaker 1: my hat's off to you. I tip my hat to

148
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 1: you and uh and thanks for all you guys have done.

149
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 1: And it's an exciting time because I really believe that

150
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 1: Rick Kamlop Clint Stirner in the afternoon are gonna do great.

151
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 1: I love Clint, I've known him that long, but but

152
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 1: he's instantly likable. And in the morning with Seth and Sean,

153
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 1: I think that's gonna work out tremendously as well. There

154
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 1: are a lot of different ways you can you can

155
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 1: make the sauce here, folks. And I think that Armand

156
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 1: is doing a great job coming up with a new

157
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 1: lineup and a new combination that's really gonna pay dividends here.

158
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 1: And I'm glad that we're part of it, and we're

159
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:51,040
Speaker 1: gonna be part of it during the year with what

160
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 1: we have always done OB show on Monday and night

161
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 1: obviously All Access from six sixty seven, uh sixty eight

162
00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:01,680
Speaker 1: on certain nights, especially those, I think, um, you know, Mike,

163
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 1: we'd always did the pregame show with Mike. Um, you know,

164
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 1: he'd had me off for a segment, whether I was

165
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 1: here there, and then you know, we did draft shows

166
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 1: with Mike and then I would pop in when you

167
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 1: were out. And I loved dealing. I love dealing with Mike,

168
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 1: loved it. I always felt like he was prepared, always

169
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:18,480
Speaker 1: felt like he had great questions for me. He always

170
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:20,040
Speaker 1: asked me a night before, Hey, is there anything that

171
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 1: you want to hit? Always, I just I felt like

172
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 1: I was dealing with a true professional. I never I

173
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 1: never worked with Rich and Mark. I'll be honest. Back

174
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 1: in fourteen when you asked me to be the sideline reporter,

175
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:36,680
Speaker 1: I I wasn't always sure how Rich would react. I never,

176
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 1: I never really, I never really knew. But if he

177
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,440
Speaker 1: had any sort of resentment or was not happy about it,

178
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:44,320
Speaker 1: he never showed that to me. And over the years

179
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 1: we got to we got to know each other a

180
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 1: little bit better. Um, you know, not obviously as a

181
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:50,320
Speaker 1: knew Sean because Sean and I had done a show

182
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:52,080
Speaker 1: for three and a half four years, so I knew

183
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:55,439
Speaker 1: Sean really well. But Rich was such a professional. He

184
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:58,640
Speaker 1: never never mentioned it. He was always complimentary. I remember

185
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 1: one time I was actually driving and he was talking

186
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 1: on the air about my observations, and he was so

187
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:05,679
Speaker 1: my training camp observations. He was like, this is must read.

188
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 1: I mean, he was just so you know, supportive in

189
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 1: that way. And you're right. They were two professional guys

190
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 1: to just professionals at heart, and I hate to see

191
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:19,560
Speaker 1: them go. But you and I both know. We've been

192
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:23,080
Speaker 1: around this business for a while. We know, and I'll

193
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 1: never forget. I can't remember who I was talking to.

194
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 1: I think it was talking to Steve bune In one time.

195
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:28,599
Speaker 1: Steve Buney had been an ESPN that he went to

196
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 1: ninety seventy five is not back up in Seattle. And

197
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 1: I remember saying to Steve, you remember he called me

198
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 1: at the combine and we were talking about a particular

199
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:37,400
Speaker 1: radio job he was thinking about taking, and we were

200
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 1: just kind of bouncing some ideas and I said, I said, Steve,

201
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 1: this is the this is the best thing to do

202
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 1: for four hours out of your day. To say that

203
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 1: this is what you do for your work is awesome.

204
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:52,200
Speaker 1: But it is a lousy business man. It is a

205
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 1: lousy business. It is a hard, hard business. Because things

206
00:09:57,080 --> 00:10:01,680
Speaker 1: like this happened. Listener habits change, those things take place.

207
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 1: It's it's a really fun thing to do with your life.

208
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 1: That's your work. But it's a really tough, tough business

209
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 1: to be in. So I know those guys. Those guys

210
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 1: know that. Like you said, hats off to them for

211
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:14,680
Speaker 1: all the work they did, but got to be really

212
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:16,840
Speaker 1: excited about what What's six ten is trying to do.

213
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:18,520
Speaker 1: And I'm just glad that we are. We're a part

214
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:21,319
Speaker 1: of it from six to seven every day, and then

215
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:24,760

Speaker 1: be out there from eight to ten first ten days

224
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 1: of it, and as we usually are, we'll be live

225
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 1: from Green Bay eight to ten am for those joint

00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:58,040

228
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 1: at lambeau Field or somewhere cool like that because they

229
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:03,600
Speaker 1: won't be on the field. Are we could go to

230
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 1: twenty seven thirty six? Will learn this trail somewhere in

231
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 1: Wisconsin and do it for my parents' house if you

232
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:10,720
Speaker 1: want it to that's fine. Do they live near Whistling

233
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:12,839
Speaker 1: Straits because I want to go up there. I don't know, Okay,

234
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:16,720
Speaker 1: Kohler's nearby. I think it's nearby. I don't know. I

235
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:19,079
Speaker 1: can't remember how far it is. I don't know how

236
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:21,320
Speaker 1: far it is. But I look forward to Texas Training

237
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:24,559
Speaker 1: Camp live. I mean, it's probably the one thing in

238
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:26,720
Speaker 1: training camp I look most forward to. I mean, obviously

239
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 1: I love watching the team, but I love doing those

240
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 1: shows because it just kind of gets me cranked up

241
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 1: before practice starts. And I think you said the other

242
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 1: day practices and start until nine, nine fifteen. That's later

243
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:39,120
Speaker 1: than it's ever been, which I'm happy about. I'm stoked

244
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 1: about that because I'm only missing half an hour practice

245
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:45,680
Speaker 1: and maybe one special teams period. So I'm gonna see

246
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 1: one on ones, I'm gonna see DBS against water Shee's,

247
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:50,720
Speaker 1: we'll see seven on Seven'm gonna see all the things

248
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:53,679
Speaker 1: that potentially I could miss, So I'm pretty I'm pretty

249
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 1: stoked about that. But the fact that six ten will

250
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 1: be out there while practice going out is pretty cool.

251
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:01,600
Speaker 1: Does that mean six to eight, eight, six to eight

252
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:04,320
Speaker 1: they'll be doing it. Morning show will be out there,

253
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:06,680
Speaker 1: then us and then in the loop, and then the

254
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 1: loop's actually gonna try to transition. They're gonna do it somehow,

255
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:15,040
Speaker 1: transition inside during their show. I warned them, warned, I said,

256
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 1: if you're out there for four hours from ten to two,

257
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:20,600
Speaker 1: they might die. So and you know, it's one thing

258
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:25,080
Speaker 1: to just be outside, trust me, talking for four hours

259
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 1: outside on the radio in ninety five degree heat. I mean,

260
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:31,439
Speaker 1: you know, people do harder things in life. I get it.

261
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:34,800
Speaker 1: It's not like we're fresh responders, but it does something

262
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:37,280
Speaker 1: to your brain. I remember the first year we did

263
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 1: this stuff in twenty twelve Texans Radio, and we had

264
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:42,160
Speaker 1: it set up and I did the morning show, and

265
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:44,720
Speaker 1: then we still had Texans All Access on Tuesdays, we

266
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 1: moved it to ten to noon. Long story anyway, I

267
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:51,720
Speaker 1: was on one day from six till noon, so six

268
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:55,439
Speaker 1: hours straight, and like in that at eleven o'clock hour, Johnny,

269
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:57,319
Speaker 1: I didn't even know what was happening. I don't know

270
00:12:57,320 --> 00:12:59,840
Speaker 1: it was coming out of my mouth anymore. I think

271
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:02,320
Speaker 1: I think I passed out at one point. I don't know,

272
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:05,640
Speaker 1: I blacked out whatever, But it's it's denying all of

273
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:08,400
Speaker 1: us air conditioning. So I mean it might happen this year.

274
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:10,760
Speaker 1: You need to You need to feel the heat, man,

275
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:13,560
Speaker 1: you need to experience the love. I'll be honest with you.

276
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:15,360
Speaker 1: When I feel the heat, that's when I think. That's

277
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:17,440
Speaker 1: what I think. I know. Andre talks about the smell

278
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:19,120
Speaker 1: of the grass, which I pay to homage to him

279
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 1: with my tweet last night, and by all eyes like

280
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:23,520
Speaker 1: the smell of the grass, like do you smell it?

281
00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:26,000
Speaker 1: Do you smell it? For me, it's that when the

282
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:29,079
Speaker 1: heat goes up. So I've been feeling it for a while,

283
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:31,080
Speaker 1: but when that heat goes up, I'm like, Okay, it's

284
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:34,199
Speaker 1: time for camp. Because I think about camp here in Houston.

285
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:35,920
Speaker 1: I remember the first time I went in two thousand

286
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 1: and seven, and I just remember standing where the media

287
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:41,959
Speaker 1: is able to stand on basically the track around the

288
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:45,640
Speaker 1: field and there's no shade, yeah, and there's not a

289
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 1: cloud and it's just the sun just right on. You know.

290
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:52,640
Speaker 1: I'm like, that's what I associate. It's it's funny because

291
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 1: it's that heat. When you live in the north, you

292
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 1: associate that chill, right because in August it's already happening

293
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:02,080
Speaker 1: up north. You know, you get that chill, those those

294
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 1: nights get a little cooler already, and you associate that

295
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:08,960
Speaker 1: with football. Here, you're right here. That's one thing I

296
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:11,760
Speaker 1: learned about Texas. No, no, no, no, that's not football.

297
00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 1: Football is hundred degrees ninety seven and a half degrees

298
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:19,800
Speaker 1: and there you are out there cooking in the humidity,

299
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:23,680
Speaker 1: and that's football. That's awesome. Yeah. Anyway, so let's let's

300
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:26,920
Speaker 1: talk camp. We have a couple of topics to chew

301
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 1: on tonight. I know this first segment turn into a

302
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 1: radio tribute and everything, but what the heck, it's that

303
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:33,920
Speaker 1: kind of day. But let's do this. We have a

304
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:35,800
Speaker 1: lot of guys that a lot of people don't know

305
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:37,560
Speaker 1: who are going to be out there training camp. At

306
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:39,760
Speaker 1: training camps back in Houston. They're gonna be hearing about

307
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 1: these players who are some of the under rates, under

308
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:45,360
Speaker 1: the radar guys that you're gonna be hearing about. And

309
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:47,160
Speaker 1: these are the guys that really make a difference for

310
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:49,760
Speaker 1: your football team. You have a ninety man roster and

311
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 1: they're always surprises and these are the guys. Okay, so

312
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:56,240
Speaker 1: who are they? Who are these guys? Plus I want

313
00:14:56,280 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 1: to share first impressions of training performances. First time you

314
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:06,400
Speaker 1: saw these guys who became long term Texans, what you

315
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:09,800
Speaker 1: thought of them, what impression they made in their first camp,

316
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 1: Because it's going to translate to some performances that we

317
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:14,680
Speaker 1: see from some of these under the radar guys. We'll

318
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:19,200
Speaker 1: talk about it's all happening next on Texans Radio. Download

323
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:42,440
Speaker 1: training camp starting in one week. Mark vanderper and John

324
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 1: Harris with you live in the Huntday Texans Radio studio,

325
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 1: and it's all gonna start up at some point I

326
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:51,520
Speaker 1: think early next week. We'll do an offseason clearinghouse program

327
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:53,560
Speaker 1: with all our best stuff from the offseason, and we've

328
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:55,800
Speaker 1: had a lot of good stuff, but it's flown by

329
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 1: I decided the older you get, the faster time goes.

330
00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:00,760
Speaker 1: But this is hardly new information. So I think everyone

331
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 1: understands this, but we're gonna go over some under the

332
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:06,800
Speaker 1: radar guys to watch guys who could make a difference

333
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 1: because you're looking for depth, you're looking for difference makers

334
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 1: to strengthen position groups. And among the position groups, we've

335
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:20,360
Speaker 1: been talking about secondary of course, offensive line of course,

336
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:23,400
Speaker 1: but let's go right to the secondary right now, because

337
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:26,240
Speaker 1: when you look at these groups, especially when you get

338
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:28,920
Speaker 1: down past some of the quote stars, and I don't

339
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 1: think the secondaries loaded with stars exactly, but when you

340
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:34,840
Speaker 1: get past some of the really familiar names, these guys

341
00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 1: all have to play special teams, right, They all have

342
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:40,160
Speaker 1: to be fourth down type guys. And you know, you

343
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:42,120
Speaker 1: look at a guy like Johnson Battamose, he's not gonna

344
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:44,960
Speaker 1: really play much corner for you unless it's a real pinch, right,

345
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:48,520
Speaker 1: but he's got to play special teams for you. So

346
00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:50,160
Speaker 1: you know he's one of those guys you're looking out

347
00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:52,440
Speaker 1: for a training camp, and you know you'll see him

348
00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 1: in eleven on eleven situations at camp because they'll go

349
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 1: ones against the ones, twos against the twos, and all

350
00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:59,479
Speaker 1: that's fluid. You know, guys bounce up and down. Injuries

351
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:01,520
Speaker 1: or whatever. Today we want to put him with the

352
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:04,200
Speaker 1: ones however they're feeling. But then I look at you know,

353
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:07,200
Speaker 1: Brian body Calhoun is another one that's a player. I'm

354
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:09,479
Speaker 1: really excited to see Johnny. We talked to him here

355
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:12,800
Speaker 1: in studio offseason acquisition. You know, the kind of guy

356
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:14,560
Speaker 1: who can make your team better. You know, he's not

357
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:17,440
Speaker 1: it's not like bringing in you know, top of the market,

358
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:21,520
Speaker 1: top three highest paid cornerbacks. But he's a player who

359
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:24,919
Speaker 1: can play nickel, he can play in those sub packages,

360
00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:27,520
Speaker 1: he can play special teams. You never know how he's

361
00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 1: gonna fit in, but number twenty nine in your program,

362
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:32,080
Speaker 1: it's gonna be interesting to see how he fits in.

363
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:34,400
Speaker 1: I said it when he was in here. I played

364
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 1: that interview maybe about a week ago, maybe a week

365
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:39,240
Speaker 1: maybe about a week ago. I think I played that

366
00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:43,320
Speaker 1: interview with him, and I told him I had I

367
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:44,520
Speaker 1: had a crush on him. I mean I was like

368
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:46,200
Speaker 1: eighth grade girls like I had, I've had a crush

369
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:47,680
Speaker 1: on you. I hope he took that in the right way.

370
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:49,400
Speaker 1: I think I think he did. He lacked it off,

371
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:51,720
Speaker 1: which is good good. But I was a huge fan

372
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:55,320
Speaker 1: of his at Minnesota, huge He's one of those guys

373
00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 1: that when I watched him at Minnesota, what always stood

374
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:00,320
Speaker 1: out to me, and I call these guys ball matt gets.

375
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:04,639
Speaker 1: He's always round the ball somehow, someway he's making a

376
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:07,360
Speaker 1: play on the ball. Andre Howe is one of those guys. Yeah,

377
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:09,240
Speaker 1: Andre Howe was one of those exactly. Andre Howe was

378
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:11,440
Speaker 1: one of those guys. The ball found him some exactly

379
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:13,000
Speaker 1: and went and Demps had that year with the ball

380
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:15,320
Speaker 1: always seemed to find him. Those are those are guys.

381
00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 1: I love him and look and Dre Dre Howe was

382
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:20,320
Speaker 1: not He was not the biggest guy in the world.

383
00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:23,439
Speaker 1: He was not safety size. I mean just started as

384
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:26,879
Speaker 1: a corner, right, I mean he was five ten one ninety.

385
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:29,639
Speaker 1: I think if that, I mean, that's not great safety size.

386
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:31,760
Speaker 1: It's not even great corner size now. And so they

387
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:34,200
Speaker 1: did they moved into safety. But they moved into safety

388
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:37,160
Speaker 1: because they felt like, look, he's got ball skills, he's

389
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:38,679
Speaker 1: got the ability to find the ball. And that's what

390
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 1: he did. He found the football. He became a really

391
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 1: good tackler. He was a really effective safety for this team.

392
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:46,840
Speaker 1: That's the way BBC was for me when I watched

393
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:48,800
Speaker 1: him in college and he transitioned the NFL and he

394
00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:51,879
Speaker 1: became he moved into the position that a lot of

395
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:55,240
Speaker 1: people now, I think you have to you have to

396
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:58,080
Speaker 1: put it on a depth chart because the nickel with slot,

397
00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:01,840
Speaker 1: he's so important. It is so important. It's a position

398
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:04,480
Speaker 1: you draft. Now. You don't just say, well, we're gonna

399
00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:06,320
Speaker 1: draft the corner. It's like we think this guy's an

400
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:08,840
Speaker 1: outside corner. Were drafted outside corner, or we're gonna draft

401
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:11,360
Speaker 1: the slot corner. And there are guys like that. There's

402
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:13,680
Speaker 1: a guy at Washington. I watch him and Mark, I'm

403
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:16,239
Speaker 1: telling he's five eight. If he's five eight, I mean

404
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 1: it says in the program five to nine. I mean

405
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:20,520
Speaker 1: he's lucky if he's five eight. And I watch him

406
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:22,040
Speaker 1: and I love him. He's all over the place. And

407
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:25,160
Speaker 1: that's the way BBC wasn't gonna be eligible next year. Yeah,

408
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:26,680
Speaker 1: he's a senior. He's a see. I kept trying to

409
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:28,439
Speaker 1: remember his name off top of my head. But anyhow,

410
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:30,440
Speaker 1: he wears number five, and I love to watch him.

411
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:33,720
Speaker 1: He is so fun and he reminds me of Mike Hilton,

412
00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:36,600
Speaker 1: who played that spot for the Steelers. Anyways, BBC's kind

413
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:39,199
Speaker 1: of like that it was a little bit bigger and

414
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:41,360
Speaker 1: a little bit taller, and so he played perimeter corner

415
00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:42,880
Speaker 1: in Minnesota. But I figured when he got to the league,

416
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:44,720
Speaker 1: he probably's gonna play slot corner. That's when he does.

417
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:47,240
Speaker 1: He plays the slot corner. But I watched him during

418
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:49,359
Speaker 1: OTA's and it wasn't just watch him on the field.

419
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 1: I watch him when he came off the field because

420
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:52,880
Speaker 1: they would go in that two spot drill where they've

421
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:56,000
Speaker 1: got one eleven on eleven group, eleven on eleven go

422
00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:58,440
Speaker 1: one side and eleven on eleven go on the other side,

423
00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:00,480
Speaker 1: and here just doubling the reps it having a bunch

424
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:03,080
Speaker 1: of guys standing around and split it up boom. And

425
00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:07,400
Speaker 1: so he was down nearest us and he was going

426
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:10,560
Speaker 1: in as the slot guy with that particular group. And

427
00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:12,879
Speaker 1: every time he would come over to the sidelines, he

428
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:15,800
Speaker 1: would check with whoever the secondary coach was that was

429
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:18,560
Speaker 1: down there, whether whether it was Midge or whether it

430
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:21,600
Speaker 1: was Dan Lynn, he would go over there check with him.

431
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:23,720
Speaker 1: He checked with his teammates, They talked to community. It

432
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:27,680
Speaker 1: was amazing. He never stopped communicating with people coming to sidelines.

433
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 1: And most of the guys he was with were young guys,

434
00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:32,040
Speaker 1: and so that stood out to me, like, man, he's

435
00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:36,200
Speaker 1: a really good communicator, he's a good veteran, he's a professional.

436
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:40,280
Speaker 1: Those are the kind of guys that on the verge

437
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:43,240
Speaker 1: of making it or not, you want to have because

438
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 1: they're going to be able to impart any wisdom they

439
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:47,720
Speaker 1: have on young guys that might be able to make it,

440
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:50,399
Speaker 1: and then they pay it forward and that sort of thing.

441
00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:52,240
Speaker 1: But I think he's a while player. I can't wait

442
00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:54,480
Speaker 1: to see what he does once they put the pads

443
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:55,760
Speaker 1: on and once they get to go one on one

444
00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:57,440
Speaker 1: of the receivers. But I almost feel like once you

445
00:20:57,520 --> 00:20:59,480
Speaker 1: get him in a seven on seven or a team situation,

446
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:02,960
Speaker 1: that's almost when he's better. So I'm excited to see

447
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:05,320
Speaker 1: what BBC brings. Well, we'll see, because when you look

448
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:07,600
Speaker 1: at slot guys for this team, you know who could

449
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:09,680
Speaker 1: it be. You know, getting a lot of reps there,

450
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:12,320
Speaker 1: And again, they like versatility, so they want guys who

451
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:16,160
Speaker 1: could do both possibly, but obviously they have to address that. So, yeah,

452
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:18,320
Speaker 1: Aaron Colvin trying to bounce back from whatever happened to

453
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:21,480
Speaker 1: him last year. You have BBC, maybe Xavier Crawford, ye

454
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:24,960
Speaker 1: later round draft choice, rookie from Central Michigan, you'd ever

455
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:26,639
Speaker 1: know how he's gonna fit in. But we're gonna be

456
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:28,760
Speaker 1: watching this stuff during training camp. Yeah, that's gonna be

457
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:30,560
Speaker 1: I think that's gonna be a pretty good battle. I mean,

458
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:33,960
Speaker 1: obviously anything in the secondary, anything in the secondary, trying

459
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:35,800
Speaker 1: to figure out how the pieces are gonna go together,

460
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 1: and all eyes are gonna be on those, on those units.

461
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:42,480
Speaker 1: They're gonna want to see what that group to, how

462
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:45,200
Speaker 1: is it put together? How do the pieces come together?

463
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:49,640
Speaker 1: Because I've said this before, I think when when you

464
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 1: could play nickel with three corners depending on you know,

465
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:54,959
Speaker 1: you're facing third and fourteen. A lot of time they

466
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:56,880
Speaker 1: go to dime in that, but you know, second and eight,

467
00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:59,440
Speaker 1: you think it's a pass. This team likes to throw.

468
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:02,520
Speaker 1: Saints they want to throw. So you put three corners

469
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:05,080
Speaker 1: out there, and maybe there's Robie, Lonnie and j Joe.

470
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:08,280
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe one ends up being BBC, one ends up

471
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:09,440
Speaker 1: being Aaron Corbin. I mean, there are a lot of

472
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:11,720
Speaker 1: different combinations. But those guys are gonna have to play

473
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:15,200
Speaker 1: themselves into roles. They're gonna have to play themselves into

474
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:17,440
Speaker 1: those roles. They're gonna have to go I know that

475
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:20,640
Speaker 1: sounds weird, but in certain situations, some guys, whether it's

476
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:23,800
Speaker 1: they got drafted, where they got drafted, whether they got

477
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:27,159
Speaker 1: signed for a certain amount of money, teams feel like, no,

478
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:28,800
Speaker 1: we gotta play those guys. We drafted a guy in

479
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:30,080
Speaker 1: the first round, we paid a lot of money for

480
00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:32,160
Speaker 1: that guy. They've got a step right in. I think

481
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:34,880
Speaker 1: there's a different situation which these guys they're all gonna

482
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:36,399
Speaker 1: be battling for that. It doesn't matter how much they

483
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:39,000
Speaker 1: got paid or where they got drafted. If an undrafted

484
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:41,359
Speaker 1: guy is better than a second round pick, or a

485
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:43,879
Speaker 1: guy that's signed for very little money is better than

486
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:46,919
Speaker 1: a guy that's paid eight million dollars a year, somebody's

487
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:50,560
Speaker 1: gonna play himself into that particular role in another role.

488
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:53,600
Speaker 1: I think it's an interesting point, part of the larger point,

489
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:55,840
Speaker 1: which is the way things are set up here now

490
00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:59,280
Speaker 1: with this teamwork going on in terms of football operations,

491
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:04,120
Speaker 1: management and governing. If you will, that that matters less

492
00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:06,359
Speaker 1: than ever. You know, where we drafted a guy, how

493
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:09,159
Speaker 1: much we paid them in free O'Brien, just give me

494
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:11,000
Speaker 1: the best guys on the field. I don't care who

495
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:13,680
Speaker 1: they are, you know, just get the best players on

496
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:15,640
Speaker 1: the field. Okay, are you ready for me to take

497
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:18,720
Speaker 1: an analogy too far? Because I will. I always we

498
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:21,359
Speaker 1: talk about camp crushes, right, yes, all right? So if

499
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:24,000
Speaker 1: you have a crush and you're going to the dance, right,

500
00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:26,919
Speaker 1: you want to see your crush at the dance. Sometimes

501
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:28,760
Speaker 1: you're at the dance, though, and you see the lady

502
00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:31,320
Speaker 1: in red dancing, and the lady in red becomes your crush,

503
00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:34,080
Speaker 1: right because you can switch. It's just a crush, not

504
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:37,240
Speaker 1: a commitment, right. Predict your camp crush in every position

505
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:39,800
Speaker 1: group and this might take a little bit, all right,

506
00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:42,040
Speaker 1: So let's let's start out where we are. All right,

507
00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:44,919
Speaker 1: we're in the secondary, but let's let's divide it between

508
00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:47,560
Speaker 1: corner and safety. I don't care about nickel versus outside,

509
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:51,879
Speaker 1: So go corner. What's your camp crush prediction? Uh? Well,

510
00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:53,840
Speaker 1: it could change once you see them out there. What

511
00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:57,000
Speaker 1: do we think about BBC? Can I can? Can you

512
00:23:57,160 --> 00:23:59,880
Speaker 1: vote for a BBC that I'm I'm gonna give me mine.

513
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:03,080
Speaker 1: I'm gonna even mine Jermaine Kelly, that's my that's my

514
00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:04,840
Speaker 1: prediction that I'm gonna have a cam crush on him

515
00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 1: at cornerback. I'm telling you that crush is gonna come

516
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:11,520
Speaker 1: to fruition once he finds that consistency. Yeah, because out

517
00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:15,600
Speaker 1: at OTA's there. There there were times where it was like, man, okay,

518
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:18,399
Speaker 1: not not great for him, but then there were times

519
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:20,919
Speaker 1: where man, he is on it today. Look at that

520
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:23,919
Speaker 1: pick he just made. He's got to find a consistent level.

521
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:26,560
Speaker 1: And if he's able to do that, then your crush

522
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:28,640
Speaker 1: is coming to fruition. Can we go to linebacker because

523
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:30,959
Speaker 1: I go to linebacker? Okay, my my crush always going

524
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:34,160
Speaker 1: inside or outside? Uh, we just doing a whole group

525
00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:38,160
Speaker 1: une mine is doing Cole. I mean, I'm a I'm

526
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:40,240
Speaker 1: a huge Don Cole fan. So you're allowed to pick

527
00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:42,840
Speaker 1: a veteran. That's kind of a lame pick. Oh, not

528
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:45,640
Speaker 1: that it's a lame pick. He's also but I want

529
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:48,560
Speaker 1: to go a little more like Okay, although at the

530
00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:51,320
Speaker 1: tight end, it's like it's pretty obvious with me anyway

531
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:53,200
Speaker 1: going yeah, I think, I mean, I think that's gonna happen.

532
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:56,159
Speaker 1: But okay, if you're going off the beaten path a

533
00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:59,600
Speaker 1: little bit, I like Rickie Drew Lewis from out of

534
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:04,879
Speaker 1: Colorado that is off the beating. Yeah he is. We

535
00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:08,000
Speaker 1: mentioned BBC's a ball magnet. Drew Lewis is one of

536
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:11,240
Speaker 1: those guys that tackled anything that moved at Colorado. All Right,

537
00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:13,280
Speaker 1: it's gonna be really tough. I mean a linebacker, it's

538
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:17,600
Speaker 1: gonna be really really difficult to find a way in

539
00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 1: given what's already yet of you. But but if you're

540
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:23,600
Speaker 1: rookie and you make tackles and you can find out

541
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:26,120
Speaker 1: on special teams in preseason, and you got a shot,

542
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:27,879
Speaker 1: and Drew Lewis can be that kind of guy. I

543
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:30,159
Speaker 1: liked watching him at Colorado. I'm gonna say one thing

544
00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:31,960
Speaker 1: about what you just said, and I know you know this,

545
00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:35,119
Speaker 1: but you know, we talk about like these position groups

546
00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:37,200
Speaker 1: and everyone's gonna come out with their fifty three prediction,

547
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:39,280
Speaker 1: which I was doing way before everybody started doing it.

548
00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:42,040
Speaker 1: I was. I was the Joe Lnardi of the fifty

549
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:44,880
Speaker 1: three man roster back in the day before anybody would

550
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:49,119
Speaker 1: touch it. I'm taking credit for that. But the thing is,

551
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:51,320
Speaker 1: I've been around here too long to see that, guys,

552
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:54,240
Speaker 1: things don't always go according to plan. But these things,

553
00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:56,720
Speaker 1: you know, you know that as far as not only

554
00:25:57,000 --> 00:26:00,320
Speaker 1: not injuries or guys like rise up or somebody's just

555
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:02,800
Speaker 1: not doing it, the way you thought, Oh my gosh,

556
00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:05,000
Speaker 1: I mean even a year ago, there's no way, even

557
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:06,960
Speaker 1: with the drafting of the two tight ends that I thought. Man,

558
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:09,320
Speaker 1: Ryan Griffin will be here for a long time probably,

559
00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:11,840
Speaker 1: but you know, things change, and you know we're all

560
00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:13,840
Speaker 1: looking forward to scene. Where's yours? All right, I'll give

561
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:16,359
Speaker 1: you my next Okay, we'll do it in every position group,

562
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:18,919
Speaker 1: our prediction of our camp crush, and then some thoughts

563
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:23,760
Speaker 1: on guys first impressions in training camp when they emerged

564
00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:26,840
Speaker 1: on the scene. DeAndre Hopkins to Shaun Watson, JJ, what

565
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:28,639
Speaker 1: we thought of these guys. I got a couple of

566
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:33,320
Speaker 1: under the radar guys as well. It's Texans Radio for

572
00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:00,560
Speaker 1: And boy, like we said yesterday, I think was during

573
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:02,800
Speaker 1: yesterday's show, they are making a lot of changes here

574
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:06,080
Speaker 1: with some of the high tech stuff. It's so cool.

575
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:08,720
Speaker 1: I can't wait till Bill O'Brien talks about some of

576
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:10,639
Speaker 1: the high tech stuff they have going on here. I

577
00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:13,040
Speaker 1: think he'll let us use it. Well. I want to

578
00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:15,200
Speaker 1: shoot a show in that walk through room they've got

579
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:18,440
Speaker 1: that is really cool. There's a whole virtual wall. I mean,

580
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:20,800
Speaker 1: it's really neat. I want to do like the Avatar

581
00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:22,679
Speaker 1: ride in there that I did at Disney World. Can

582
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:25,760
Speaker 1: you program the Avatar ride? Please? Could you imagine? And

583
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:28,000
Speaker 1: they go to practice and they're like, let's get ready

584
00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:29,520
Speaker 1: to play in New Orleans, And all of a sudden,

585
00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:33,479
Speaker 1: it's like, what is this Texans training camp live? I'm

586
00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:35,600
Speaker 1: the only one out there? Like, where's Mark? Oh? You

587
00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:38,960
Speaker 1: can't get off the Avatar ride and the walk through? Yeah, yeah,

588
00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:40,800
Speaker 1: they'll they'll be very happy with that. All right. We

589
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:44,200
Speaker 1: were predicting our camp camp crushes. You know, a camp

590
00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:46,560
Speaker 1: crush is a player that you really like, you want,

591
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:48,879
Speaker 1: You're rooting for this guy. You think this guy it

592
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:50,600
Speaker 1: maybe he's a lock to make the team. That could

593
00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:52,520
Speaker 1: be a camp crush as well. But usually it's a

594
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:55,399
Speaker 1: player that might not be a lock, but you think, gosh,

595
00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:58,159
Speaker 1: that guy, is he gonna make the squad? I'm pulling

596
00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:00,560
Speaker 1: for him. That's a camp crush, right, and you have

597
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:03,560
Speaker 1: draft crushes. Camp crushes were predicting the camp crushes because

598
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:06,680
Speaker 1: once camp starts, I just reveal mine, all right, and

599
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:09,600
Speaker 1: and you know, zero in on certain players. I mean

600
00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:12,280
Speaker 1: Travis Labhart I think was I don't know if that

601
00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:15,120
Speaker 1: was mine or drews. I don't think I picked him,

602
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:18,760
Speaker 1: but I've had um Deandrew White was a camp crush

603
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:20,359
Speaker 1: of mine. I mean that was like, but that was

604
00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:22,840
Speaker 1: like a one night stand. He got hurt pretty quickly.

605
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:25,800
Speaker 1: It was that was two years ago. It literally was

606
00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 1: one night. But then he was back and he was back.

607
00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:29,840
Speaker 1: I mean that that got a lot of ability. But

608
00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:32,000
Speaker 1: it just wasn't the same. It's the crush was just

609
00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:35,320
Speaker 1: not the same. It's it wasn't. It just was we

610
00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:38,800
Speaker 1: couldn't build a relationship and getting up you tried to

611
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:42,000
Speaker 1: dance again. Yeah, it was just wrong. All right. So

612
00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:45,040
Speaker 1: here we go with with the camp crushes. What about

613
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:47,520
Speaker 1: Davin Vellamy? Am I allowed to pick him? And outside linebacker?

614
00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:50,520
Speaker 1: If I'm going to predict the linebacker crush, I like

615
00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:56,240
Speaker 1: the ability. Obviously, this is a position of interest. I

616
00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:58,640
Speaker 1: mean every position group is. But when you look at

617
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:02,200
Speaker 1: Whitney mercialist on Clowney, Great Brandan Scarlett. They need depth

618
00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:05,520
Speaker 1: no matter what. Who knows when Clowney reports, You know,

619
00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:07,720
Speaker 1: you hope it's sooner rather than later. But you could

620
00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:10,720
Speaker 1: certainly use to fortify because you don't have to get

621
00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:12,920
Speaker 1: you four this year, and you really wanted to see

622
00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:14,280
Speaker 1: what he was going to do in year or two.

623
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:16,520
Speaker 1: So that's something you gotta live without. So it's just

624
00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:18,400
Speaker 1: one of those things. All right, Let's move on to

625
00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:23,240
Speaker 1: another position. Group for potential camp crushes, go to running back.

626
00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:25,920
Speaker 1: Go to running back for me, well, you know I've

627
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:28,240
Speaker 1: already talked about this, and yeah, A man and Clint Sterner,

628
00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:29,880
Speaker 1: who you will here two to six on Sports eighty

629
00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:34,840
Speaker 1: six ten going forward. He knows because he asked me

630
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:37,680
Speaker 1: this question. He and Sean when they were doing the show.

631
00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:40,200
Speaker 1: This is about what was about a month and a

632
00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:42,960
Speaker 1: half ago. They asked me about the running backs and

633
00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:45,520
Speaker 1: I said, look, I said, I know they didn't draft one.

634
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:48,960
Speaker 1: I mean, I get it when people outside of the the

635
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:51,280
Speaker 1: building look at Lamar Miller and they look at Dante

636
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:53,600
Speaker 1: Foreman and they're like, ah, that group just doesn't scare

637
00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:57,000
Speaker 1: us or whatever. That's fine if you feel that way.

638
00:29:57,240 --> 00:30:01,640
Speaker 1: I don't. I think the running back group is if

639
00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:04,880
Speaker 1: the offensive line improves, I think you're gonna see improving

640
00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:06,200
Speaker 1: the running backs and you're like, oh, we got good

641
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:08,960
Speaker 1: un Yeah, we got good running backs here. So but

642
00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:12,000
Speaker 1: my running back one is very simple. It's to Mario

643
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:14,720
Speaker 1: the Crockett from Missouri. You've had your eye on him

644
00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:16,480
Speaker 1: from the get go. Yeah, as soon as they signed

645
00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:18,560
Speaker 1: him as an undrafted free agent in twenty sixteen, I

646
00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:21,120
Speaker 1: saw him as a true freshman at Missoo and I'm like,

647
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:24,320
Speaker 1: that dude is playing in NFL. He's playing in the

648
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:27,040
Speaker 1: NFL very soon. That guy is going to be a dude.

649
00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:29,040
Speaker 1: But he got hurt. What was he got hurt in

650
00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:31,640
Speaker 1: twenty seventeen. I'm trying to remember because Miszoo came to

651
00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:33,880
Speaker 1: the bowl game here in twenty seventeen and there was

652
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:36,360
Speaker 1: a rumor, there had been a rumor going around that

653
00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:38,720
Speaker 1: he was going to try and play that night, and

654
00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:41,200
Speaker 1: then it never came to fruition. He just wasn't healthy.

655
00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:43,440
Speaker 1: And in twenty eighteen I thought, I thought there were

656
00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:46,160
Speaker 1: periods of good, but it wasn't like he was all

657
00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:48,280
Speaker 1: the way back to what he was in twenty sixteen.

658
00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:50,560
Speaker 1: My hope is that in twenty nineteen in camp that

659
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:54,360
Speaker 1: he can be full speed back where he was in

660
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:57,040
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen, proving and catch the ball to backfield a

661
00:30:57,040 --> 00:30:59,960
Speaker 1: little bit to show some versatility shoulder injury and then

662
00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:03,280
Speaker 1: and then let loose and then just just let loose. Man.

663
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:05,880
Speaker 1: Just look, it's I don't want to say it's a

664
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:08,120
Speaker 1: long shot as an undrafted player to make the team,

665
00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:11,719
Speaker 1: but it's happened before. Well obviously at that position, that's

666
00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:15,600
Speaker 1: happened before. I mean, Lamar Miller, deante Foreman. You need

667
00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:17,680
Speaker 1: to be somebody else. There's got to be at least

668
00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:20,240
Speaker 1: something one other person. Well, here's the here's the to

669
00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:26,760
Speaker 1: that point, right, um, buddy, how undrafted Damara Crockett, undrafted,

670
00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:31,640
Speaker 1: Ron Higden undrafted, undrafted series is so good? That's so good. Together.

671
00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:33,840
Speaker 1: Whoever's gonna be the number three running back? Unless it's

672
00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:36,800
Speaker 1: Taiwan Jones. And it could be Taiwan Jones, it could

673
00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:39,600
Speaker 1: be Josh Ferguson undrafted. It it's gonna be an undrafted guy.

674
00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:41,800
Speaker 1: And I can't remember if Taiwan Jones, I don't remember

675
00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:45,320
Speaker 1: Taiwan getting drafted. In Washington, you got drafted out of

676
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:47,640
Speaker 1: from the Raiders, I believe if I remember Craig right,

677
00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:50,880
Speaker 1: so you know this is this is a group of

678
00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:54,840
Speaker 1: interest because you do need players, you do need death.

679
00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:57,320
Speaker 1: You're gonna have, You're gonna carry three or four. I

680
00:31:57,320 --> 00:31:58,880
Speaker 1: don't know how it's all gonna shake out, but at

681
00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:02,800
Speaker 1: least at least three. Is it Ferguson, who's been around

682
00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:04,400
Speaker 1: the block a little bit, has a ton of speed?

683
00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:06,360
Speaker 1: Is it Coron Hagden who we really didn't see it

684
00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:09,200
Speaker 1: in OTAs in Minicamp Crockett and we saw a little

685
00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:14,240
Speaker 1: bit of I kind of Ferguson piques my interest five

686
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:17,000
Speaker 1: ten two h five speed to burn. I know he's

687
00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:20,440
Speaker 1: played a little bit, a little tiny bit, but I

688
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:23,400
Speaker 1: think guys can get better. I use that justin four

689
00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:26,000
Speaker 1: sets story to point out how running backs it doesn't

690
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:27,960
Speaker 1: always happen right away. I mean a lot of positions

691
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:30,480
Speaker 1: it doesn't always happen right away, but running backs doesn't

692
00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:34,360
Speaker 1: always transpire immediately. Sometimes it takes a year two three,

693
00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:36,920
Speaker 1: right situation. And I'm not saying he's gonna be the

694
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:39,840
Speaker 1: guy or anything, but I think he's got ability and

695
00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:42,360
Speaker 1: he can catch the ball. We'll see, Well, who was

696
00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:46,320
Speaker 1: one of the greatest outside linebacker rushers that the Texans

697
00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:47,840
Speaker 1: had to face in two thousand and eight against the

698
00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:49,760
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Steelers, who we were all concerned about, like, oh

699
00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:52,920
Speaker 1: my god, rookie Dwayne Brown has to go against James Harrison.

700
00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:56,600
Speaker 1: James Harrison. James Harrison was cut twice by the Steelers,

701
00:32:56,640 --> 00:32:59,200
Speaker 1: once by I think by the Bengals. He finally got

702
00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:01,240
Speaker 1: back with the Steelers and it's like, oh wow, this

703
00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:04,240
Speaker 1: guy's pretty good, so so it can it can happen.

704
00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:07,760
Speaker 1: That's incredible. It can happen at any any point, even

705
00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:09,880
Speaker 1: with the team that cut you. You gotta just find

706
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:12,360
Speaker 1: the right fitting. What about Cameron Wake coming from Canada,

707
00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:15,160
Speaker 1: I'm becoming a really good pass rusher. How about Cameron

708
00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:17,920
Speaker 1: Wait changing his name from Derek to Cameron and that's

709
00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:21,320
Speaker 1: when it changed. He was Derek Wake and I couldn't

710
00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:23,560
Speaker 1: figure out, like why didn't I know this guy? And

711
00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:25,040
Speaker 1: it's like, oh yeah, when he was a Penns, Dave

712
00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:27,479
Speaker 1: was Derek. He went by Derek Wake. And then when

713
00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:29,480
Speaker 1: he got to Canada. You know, guys changed your last

714
00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:33,560
Speaker 1: name like Dominic Davis, Dominic Williams, whatever, but the first

715
00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:38,200
Speaker 1: name change like Styles White, Greg White former Houston Texan

716
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:39,920
Speaker 1: Greg White. You really can't call him a text and

717
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:41,640
Speaker 1: he never really was on the fifty three man roster.

718
00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:45,800
Speaker 1: When somebody asked me about styles White, I'm like, styles White, Oh,

719
00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:47,880
Speaker 1: I remember that too, And I was thinking, wait a minute,

720
00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:49,880
Speaker 1: that's Greg White. Yeah I did. I was like, oh,

721
00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:52,320
Speaker 1: they're like, oh Greg White. I was like, oh from Minnesota.

722
00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:56,880
Speaker 1: Like that it registered. But you know, Bill O'Brien talked

723
00:33:56,880 --> 00:33:59,680
Speaker 1: about Josh Ferguson up at the podium saying, look, he's

724
00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:02,240
Speaker 1: been our third down back. Now. Last year in camp

725
00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:05,640
Speaker 1: that was Tremaine Pope and it didn't didn't get Pope

726
00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:09,160
Speaker 1: on the roster. So uh so we'll see you still

727
00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:12,360
Speaker 1: had all right, well, actually Deante Foreman wasn't available yet,

728
00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:15,359
Speaker 1: you had Alfred Blew around. He was definitely gonna get

729
00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:17,000
Speaker 1: a spot a special teams and you know he can

730
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:19,120
Speaker 1: play some running back for you as well. I think

731
00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:22,880
Speaker 1: it's gonna be great to watch that depth develop. Uh Okay,

732
00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:25,920
Speaker 1: did we do safety? Do are we doing safety? No?

733
00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:28,200
Speaker 1: We kind of did. We kind of did second secondary.

734
00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:31,480
Speaker 1: We put it there like by predicting our camp crushes

735
00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:34,759
Speaker 1: where a wide receiver wide receiver good one. It's a

736
00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:38,880
Speaker 1: good one. Yeah, wide receiver. So many to choose one.

737
00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:41,120
Speaker 1: I mean, there's so many guys. I'll say this about

738
00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:43,160
Speaker 1: the wide receiver group, and I think I've said this before,

739
00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:46,040
Speaker 1: but I'll say it again that even if you didn't

740
00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:50,760
Speaker 1: have what i'll call for sake of sports radio talk

741
00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:54,640
Speaker 1: here the big three of DeAndre Hopkins, Will Fuller and

742
00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:57,479
Speaker 1: Kiki QT. And by the way, Fuller's a story unto himself,

743
00:34:57,520 --> 00:34:59,719
Speaker 1: like when's it gonna be back to one? And all

744
00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:02,560
Speaker 1: of that close to it all right, But outside of

745
00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:05,160
Speaker 1: the big three, if you didn't if you didn't have

746
00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:07,160
Speaker 1: two of those guys, well, Hopkins is the best in

747
00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:08,799
Speaker 1: the league, So if you didn't have the other two,

748
00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:11,400
Speaker 1: you'd still be talking about this group. Is Oh, I

749
00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:13,960
Speaker 1: think this group's pretty cool. Got something. I think I

750
00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:15,719
Speaker 1: think they got a lot of it. Now it's all

751
00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:18,600
Speaker 1: got to come together because these guys haven't done it.

752
00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:21,520
Speaker 1: But let's see, I think there's a lot of talent here.

753
00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:24,560
Speaker 1: I hope the other teams aren't listening. You'mann to sneak

754
00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:26,480
Speaker 1: a guy or two out of the practice. Unter's not

755
00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:28,719
Speaker 1: gonna make the squad maybe, but I think they're gonna

756
00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:30,720
Speaker 1: have to choose from all right, predict your camp crush

757
00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:32,440
Speaker 1: and wide receiver. Now I presented it to you. You

758
00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:35,920
Speaker 1: go first, all right, Well there's a possibility of you

759
00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:38,520
Speaker 1: steal him on, but I'm all right with that. Yeah,

760
00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:40,960
Speaker 1: all right. So Johnny Dixon I thought was gonna be

761
00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:44,560
Speaker 1: my camp crush, right, But my prediction for camp crush

762
00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:48,400
Speaker 1: is actually Tyrand Johnson from Oklahoma State six one one

763
00:35:48,719 --> 00:35:53,680
Speaker 1: ninety three and ash as this group looks good out there.

764
00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:56,680
Speaker 1: He just he has that look to me, and he

765
00:35:56,760 --> 00:36:00,279
Speaker 1: just I just kept noticing him. He's number thirteen. If

766
00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:02,320
Speaker 1: you go to training camp practice, lookout for him. I

767
00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:04,319
Speaker 1: just think he's one of those guys player to watch.

768
00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:09,839
Speaker 1: I'm gonna pick a guy that played one play, so

769
00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:13,160
Speaker 1: I think he'd be eligible for our camp crush. Yeah,

770
00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:15,279
Speaker 1: well they're they're all out. You picked Dylan Coles, so

771
00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:20,040
Speaker 1: everybody's eligible. Dylan. You mentioned it earlier, like what were

772
00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:22,920
Speaker 1: your first impressions of guys at training game? And I

773
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:25,520
Speaker 1: was a huge, huge fan. I thought you meant you

774
00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:28,440
Speaker 1: were predicting him for this year. No, I picking Stevie.

775
00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:30,800
Speaker 1: I'm picking Stevie Mitchell. Yeah, I know he played that

776
00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:32,759
Speaker 1: one play and he got the passion, he got the

777
00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:35,719
Speaker 1: pass interference penalty. We have him in studio talking. I

778
00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:38,440
Speaker 1: loved talking to him. I loved having a chance to

779
00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:40,279
Speaker 1: talk to Stevie Mitchell. I mean every time we asked

780
00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:43,200
Speaker 1: the questions, eyes would get bright, just wide eyed, and

781
00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:46,439
Speaker 1: it was really fun talking to him. But he's got juice, man,

782
00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:50,840
Speaker 1: he has got juice. And I think because I was

783
00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:54,600
Speaker 1: just slow as dirt, I love watching guys with with

784
00:36:54,640 --> 00:36:57,719
Speaker 1: speed because I'm always envious self. God, wish I could

785
00:36:57,760 --> 00:37:00,320
Speaker 1: have been that fast. Watching him move on a field,

786
00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:02,720
Speaker 1: You're like, whoa are you allowed to run that fast?

787
00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:07,399
Speaker 1: So I think for Stevie just consistently catching the ball,

788
00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:10,520
Speaker 1: catching ball in all areas, is he gonna play outside?

789
00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:13,160
Speaker 1: How much were we playing a slot? That slot position

790
00:37:13,239 --> 00:37:18,280
Speaker 1: starts to get kind of backlogged with Kiki QT, Johnny Dixon,

791
00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:21,800
Speaker 1: potentially Steve Mitchell. Now Stevie, with his speed, you would

792
00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:24,120
Speaker 1: like to get him money outside something. Not the biggest

793
00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:26,200
Speaker 1: guy in the world, but he can smoke. I mean

794
00:37:26,239 --> 00:37:29,759
Speaker 1: he can go so so he's a slot guy. Mitchell. Well,

795
00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:32,839
Speaker 1: I don't know if everybody's healthy. I think if everybody's healthy,

796
00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:35,240
Speaker 1: it's probably he's probably best served to go in the slot.

797
00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:37,239
Speaker 1: But all right, so look at it this way. I

798
00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:38,960
Speaker 1: don't know, look at this Look at this group right

799
00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:41,560
Speaker 1: now compared to Bill O'Brien's first year here, because if

800
00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:46,280
Speaker 1: everybody's healthy, what you just said is freaky because slot

801
00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:48,799
Speaker 1: has always been something they've been searching for, and that

802
00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:51,759
Speaker 1: first year they start the Morris Johnson an opening day,

803
00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:56,000
Speaker 1: and that's always that's the most amazing. Well not, I

804
00:37:56,040 --> 00:37:57,840
Speaker 1: guess it's hard to call it that. That's like a

805
00:37:57,920 --> 00:38:00,640
Speaker 1: dubious but he was a waiver claim after that fourth

806
00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:03,480
Speaker 1: preseason game and he's starting opening day because he opened

807
00:38:03,480 --> 00:38:07,640
Speaker 1: it up in three wide. I remember hearing that week like, hey,

808
00:38:07,680 --> 00:38:11,080
Speaker 1: don't be surprised the starting line if there's a surprise. Yeah,

809
00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:13,960
Speaker 1: Like and that was it, Like who's in the way? Second?

810
00:38:14,080 --> 00:38:15,960
Speaker 1: That was because we hadn't watched them all camp, and

811
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:18,040
Speaker 1: there I think it could be is de Marris Johnson

812
00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:21,360
Speaker 1: is slow, it's gonna be the Marris Johnson slot start.

813
00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:24,040
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean from de Maris Johnson. I mean

814
00:38:24,120 --> 00:38:27,200
Speaker 1: Ryan McCarron was in camp. You know. I think I

815
00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:29,799
Speaker 1: say this and not just because he's he's a friend

816
00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:31,360
Speaker 1: of ours and he's a friend of the program. And

817
00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:33,680
Speaker 1: Cecil Shorts is really good in the radio. He's great

818
00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:36,040
Speaker 1: in the post game. But I think Cecil would have

819
00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:38,360
Speaker 1: been one hell of a slot receiver if he'd stayed healthy.

820
00:38:38,520 --> 00:38:40,799
Speaker 1: If Cecil could have stayed healthy, Cecil would have been

821
00:38:41,160 --> 00:38:43,600
Speaker 1: I think, I think, really really good. I would have

822
00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:46,239
Speaker 1: loved to have seen what he could do. I'm so

823
00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:48,600
Speaker 1: glad he's here and he's part of the media. I'm

824
00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:50,120
Speaker 1: gonna be on the air with him tomorrow morning about

825
00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:51,839
Speaker 1: you know what. You know what he could do is

826
00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:55,440
Speaker 1: exactly what Keikey QT can do is he can change speeds.

827
00:38:56,239 --> 00:39:00,600
Speaker 1: He and I saw this in OTA's more so than

828
00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:02,800
Speaker 1: I saw it during the season. Going back and watching

829
00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:03,880
Speaker 1: some of the games of the season, I saw a

830
00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:06,600
Speaker 1: little bit during the season, but I'm seeing it happened

831
00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:10,160
Speaker 1: quicker now. Keeky can change speeds on you, like he

832
00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:12,200
Speaker 1: can get up on your toes and make a break

833
00:39:12,239 --> 00:39:14,640
Speaker 1: and go, or he can kind of lull you to

834
00:39:14,680 --> 00:39:16,520
Speaker 1: sleep and think, hey, you know, I'm gonna kind of

835
00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:18,840
Speaker 1: do this and then boom. To be able to do

836
00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:21,319
Speaker 1: that precisely might be more important than straight line speed.

837
00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:24,279
Speaker 1: If you can it's like a Greg Maddots pitch. You

838
00:39:24,280 --> 00:39:26,279
Speaker 1: know who's really good, who's good at that? You know

839
00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:29,400
Speaker 1: who could do that? Andre Johnson, Yeah, I was watching.

840
00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:31,960
Speaker 1: It was pretty good. We've got a top moment coming

841
00:39:32,040 --> 00:39:35,440
Speaker 1: up that includes him, and it's a route against the

842
00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:39,080
Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans, and it's one of those where he's out

843
00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:41,200
Speaker 1: wide and he comes in and he looks like he's

844
00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:43,640
Speaker 1: he's aiming at the safety, so he kind of he

845
00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:45,799
Speaker 1: stems inside and he looks at the safety like, yeah,

846
00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:47,839
Speaker 1: I'm gonna block you, like he's coming out and run block,

847
00:39:47,880 --> 00:39:50,000
Speaker 1: you know, kind of jogging in there, and all of sudden,

848
00:39:50,040 --> 00:39:53,160
Speaker 1: boom hit the gas. Safety's flat footed. Matt hits him

849
00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:55,399
Speaker 1: for the seventy two yard bomb. It's oh nine hits

850
00:39:55,440 --> 00:39:57,279
Speaker 1: him with the bomb, and I'm telling you, it is

851
00:39:57,840 --> 00:40:02,000
Speaker 1: beautiful to watch. It's not just it's like kind of

852
00:40:02,040 --> 00:40:04,680
Speaker 1: just lollygag in and all of a sudden, I'm gonna

853
00:40:04,719 --> 00:40:07,319
Speaker 1: sucker you in and then boom, I'm buy you and

854
00:40:07,719 --> 00:40:10,640
Speaker 1: he's wide open, and it was just all and how

855
00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:12,880
Speaker 1: he changed speed and just kind of deep in them

856
00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:14,839
Speaker 1: a little bit. And that's what Keiki's starting to learn

857
00:40:14,880 --> 00:40:17,680
Speaker 1: on the inside, which is obviously different than Andre playing

858
00:40:17,719 --> 00:40:21,000
Speaker 1: the outside, but just watching him your deep guys, and

859
00:40:21,200 --> 00:40:24,040
Speaker 1: how he does it and and the way he can

860
00:40:24,120 --> 00:40:26,040
Speaker 1: change his speed and his look. I mean, it's like

861
00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:28,240
Speaker 1: covering somebody, you know, with all different kind of handles

862
00:40:28,239 --> 00:40:29,920
Speaker 1: in the basketball. This guy's got a crossover, it's all

863
00:40:29,920 --> 00:40:32,799
Speaker 1: he's got. Key's got the crossover. He go around his back,

864
00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:34,759
Speaker 1: he can go through traffic. There's so many different things

865
00:40:34,760 --> 00:40:37,200
Speaker 1: that he can do to get free. I think he's

866
00:40:37,200 --> 00:40:39,000
Speaker 1: gonna catch a Hunterball's easy. But that's the top one

867
00:40:39,120 --> 00:40:41,680
Speaker 1: hundred moment. That Andre against Tennessee route you're talking about.

868
00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:44,640
Speaker 1: It might be see that that next that next year.

869
00:40:44,680 --> 00:40:46,520
Speaker 1: I like that route he ran against the Titans. Oh

870
00:40:46,560 --> 00:40:48,239
Speaker 1: wait a minute, it wasn't a route. It was him

871
00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:52,480
Speaker 1: beating the crop out of That wasn't a route. Okay,

872
00:40:52,640 --> 00:40:56,000
Speaker 1: uh it's tight end. Yeah, tight end is easy. Well,

873
00:40:56,080 --> 00:40:57,799
Speaker 1: because all right, so tight end. You know you have

874
00:40:57,960 --> 00:41:00,520
Speaker 1: you have some veterans here. It's like you guys in

875
00:41:00,520 --> 00:41:02,880
Speaker 1: their second year. They are veterans, but it just seems

876
00:41:02,920 --> 00:41:05,239
Speaker 1: so strange. You want to call them sophomores, but they're

877
00:41:05,280 --> 00:41:08,279
Speaker 1: really not. And sometimes you do just to be sort

878
00:41:08,320 --> 00:41:12,439
Speaker 1: of cute. Sophomore season it's your second year. I've used

879
00:41:12,440 --> 00:41:15,279
Speaker 1: that as a sportscaster. Okay, it's but you know, you

880
00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:16,920
Speaker 1: have to say it right. You have to do it

881
00:41:16,920 --> 00:41:19,600
Speaker 1: with the right look. Kaholla. Wearing is gonna be everybody's

882
00:41:19,600 --> 00:41:21,520
Speaker 1: camp crush it tight end. I get it because he's

883
00:41:21,520 --> 00:41:24,799
Speaker 1: a rookie and he's played water polo or whatever. I mean,

884
00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:26,520
Speaker 1: the fans are gonna be seeing him for the first time.

885
00:41:27,160 --> 00:41:30,000
Speaker 1: But to me, like Jordan Thomas is still so much

886
00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:32,359
Speaker 1: fun to watch because he's so big and he's he's

887
00:41:32,360 --> 00:41:35,120
Speaker 1: got great hands and it's still a kind of a

888
00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:37,720
Speaker 1: freaky thing to see someone of that size with those hands.

889
00:41:37,719 --> 00:41:39,759
Speaker 1: And even we saw the highlight video today in our

890
00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:43,440
Speaker 1: big Business Off kickoff meeting, and to watch some of

891
00:41:43,440 --> 00:41:46,719
Speaker 1: his touchdown catches, it still amazes me. It's like, oh,

892
00:41:46,760 --> 00:41:48,640
Speaker 1: that old lineman's gonna, oh yeah, you just caught that

893
00:41:48,680 --> 00:41:51,680
Speaker 1: touchdown pass. It's still something to get used to. You're

894
00:41:51,719 --> 00:41:54,280
Speaker 1: one of my favorite things. One of my favorite things

895
00:41:54,360 --> 00:41:57,000
Speaker 1: and watching the Texas and being down the sides. One

896
00:41:57,040 --> 00:42:00,279
Speaker 1: of my favorite things is when he catches a hass

897
00:42:00,400 --> 00:42:04,200
Speaker 1: clean in the secondary because it's business decision time for

898
00:42:04,239 --> 00:42:07,239
Speaker 1: those dbs and just watching because as soon as he

899
00:42:07,280 --> 00:42:10,279
Speaker 1: catches it. Every time he catches one out in the open,

900
00:42:10,320 --> 00:42:14,080
Speaker 1: I'm I'm like, run, big fella, because those dbs c

901
00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:16,279
Speaker 1: that guy. I mean, I don't think you realize how

902
00:42:16,280 --> 00:42:19,640
Speaker 1: big he is, like six five, two seventy five, and

903
00:42:20,160 --> 00:42:22,120
Speaker 1: I don't maybe two seventy five generous. I don't know

904
00:42:22,160 --> 00:42:25,160
Speaker 1: he might be. I think he's a few notches over that.

905
00:42:25,560 --> 00:42:29,319
Speaker 1: But he turns up and he starts picking those knees up,

906
00:42:29,360 --> 00:42:32,839
Speaker 1: and it's like, you're gonna tackle that, Yeah, good luck. Look,

907
00:42:32,880 --> 00:42:34,719
Speaker 1: I don't know how he's grading out the tight end

908
00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:37,319
Speaker 1: room and Will Longing and I have no idea about that.
