1
00:00:00,960 --> 00:00:03,480
Speaker 1: Hello Texans, Welcome to the program, and what a great

2
00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:05,200
Speaker 1: one we have for you here tonight.

3
00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:05,440
Speaker 2: Man.

4
00:00:05,519 --> 00:00:07,920
Speaker 1: So much going on around the league, including but not

5
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:12,440
Speaker 1: limited to Anthony Richardson being named the Colts starting quarterback

6
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:15,040
Speaker 1: and that means he'll be under center in all likelihood

7
00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:18,520
Speaker 1: week two for the home opener that's September seventeenth. I

8
00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:20,680
Speaker 1: know we're all focused on what's happening this week and

9
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:23,200
Speaker 1: opening day against the Baltimore Ravens and maybe even next

10
00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:24,920
Speaker 1: week against the New Orleans Saints.

11
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:25,040
Speaker 2: On the road.

12
00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:28,560
Speaker 1: But the home opener and the regular season, A few

13
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:31,560
Speaker 1: tickets are left. Houston Texans dot Com has them for

14
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:35,040
Speaker 1: you as you watch Anthony Richardson and the Indianapolis Colts

15
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:38,400
Speaker 1: try to beat the Houston Texans for the first time

16
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:41,440
Speaker 1: since twenty twenty one, because the Texans did not lose

17
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:43,279
Speaker 1: to the Colts last year, a tie and a win.

18
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 1: And don't get me started on all that stuff again,

19
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:48,120
Speaker 1: and how I felt weird after both games doesn't matter. Now,

20
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:53,239
Speaker 1: new year, new era, new quarterbacks. Let's rock September seventeenth,

21
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:57,720
Speaker 1: more importantly, September tenth at Baltimore, the opener of the

22
00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:00,920
Speaker 1: regular season, and lots going on, like guys said the

23
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 1: Jets who are on the Texans schedule December tenth at

24
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:07,199
Speaker 1: New York or New Jersey. However, you like to refer

25
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 1: to the Meadowlands, which is technically in New Jersey, but

26
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 1: come on, it's right there across the river from Manhattan.

27
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:15,560
Speaker 1: They have Dalvin Cook on the roster. Now, that is

28
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 1: really interesting. Of course, Ezekiel Elliott, former Cowboy now is

29
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:21,399
Speaker 1: a New England Patriot. But the Texans are done with

30
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 1: the Patriots for twenty twenty three, barring playoff possibilities. Okay,

31
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:29,959
Speaker 1: I'll welcome that with open arms. Let's welcome the Miami Dolphins.

32
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 1: They're going to be in town on Wednesday and Thursday

33
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 1: for joint practices, in fact, arriving today at RG Stadium,

34
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 1: occupying it and gearing up for what is to come

35
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 1: as the two teams battle. Now, it's been interesting in

36
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 1: practice the last couple of days. Today is a day

37
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 1: off of the team. But on Sunday and on Monday

38
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 1: there were some skirmishes among the players, and Jalen Petrie

39
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 1: reflected on those.

40
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, is football.

41
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 4: You know what happens.

42
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 5: You know, at the end of the day, we know

43
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 5: there's gonna be feis, but just trying not to get

44
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 5: nobody hurt. You know, emotions are gonna be high, and

45
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 5: you know, it gets hot out here, so people are gonna.

46
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 6: Be mad sometimes.

47
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 5: But when we do fight, we also want to respect

48
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:13,800
Speaker 5: each other and you know, make sure that nobody's getting hurt,

49
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 5: because that's the last.

50
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 7: Thing we need.

51
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 1: Second Year's safety was also on Good Morning Football yesterday.

52
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:21,079
Speaker 1: Got a lot of love for that. Texan social media

53
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 1: channels have that covered for you. He weighed in on

54
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:26,800
Speaker 1: having joint practices with Miami this week.

55
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:28,079
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, it's gonna be fun.

56
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:30,079
Speaker 5: You know, the Dolphins coming on Wednesday, so that's you know,

57
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:30,960
Speaker 5: our next day of practice.

58
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 7: So I'm looking forward to it.

59
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 5: I'm just trying to take everything one day at a time,

60
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:35,920
Speaker 5: you know, take advantage of all the reps that I'm

61
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:39,080
Speaker 5: giving and just continue to you know, improve and evolve

62
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:40,919
Speaker 5: as a player. You know, I'm thankful that I'm here

63
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 5: and I'm gonna try to just continue to take advantage

64
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 5: of it.

65
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 1: I can't wait to see Peetree and the rest of

66
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 1: that secondary in action against the Miami passing attack and

67
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 1: one of the defenders seeing action. Of course, Kurt Heinisch

68
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 1: along the line. I caught up with him the other day.

69
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 1: We talked about the game against New England. He had

70
00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,119
Speaker 1: a nice outing in Foxborough.

71
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:02,080
Speaker 7: It was first thing in the season. I was excited.

72
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:05,080
Speaker 7: There's some definitely shaking off some rust, but it felt

73
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 7: good for the most part. Flu good to be back

74
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 7: out there. I love playing games.

75
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 1: What about practice when it's full pads eleven out of

76
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:12,399
Speaker 1: eleven against your own teammates.

77
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 7: Uh, I mean, in this seat, it's not really fun

78
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 7: all the time, but you know, it's it's a matter

79
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 7: of I've always liked camp because I've always found it

80
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 7: an opportunity to work on me getting better, not just

81
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:25,080
Speaker 7: making the team, but me honing in on my craft

82
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:27,799
Speaker 7: and sharpening my souls. So I've always really enjoyed camp,

83
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 7: to be honest with you.

84
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 1: All right, So tell the listeners give us a taste

85
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 1: of improving your craft and what that means year one

86
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 1: to year two to you, just.

87
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 7: Being more precise with my hand placement, with some of

88
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 7: my pass rush moves and stuff like that. Just being

89
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 7: more precise with everything, no waste in movement when with

90
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 7: steps and just stuff like that.

91
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 1: How hard is it to not tackle a guy out here,

92
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 1: yet announce your presence with authority when the running back

93
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 1: comes through.

94
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 7: Right, I just tag off at the hip. Everyone know

95
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,120
Speaker 7: you got to tackle, but I mean, obviously you want

96
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 7: to keep everybody healthy and safe, so you don't want

97
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 7: to take anywhere to the ground. But it's definitely hard

98
00:03:58,240 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 7: sometimes when you come to the whole and you just

99
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 7: want to make a big tackle in the backfield.

100
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 1: So how about the joint practices? How will you approach those?

101
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 7: I'm excited. I've never had one of those before, but

102
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 7: from we understand it could work on both sides of

103
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 7: the ball. So I'm excited to go against other people

104
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 7: other than the guys we have out here every day,

105
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 7: so it should be fun.

106
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 1: How close is this D line group, you guys eating

107
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:17,159
Speaker 1: together doing stuff like that.

108
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:19,360
Speaker 7: We're extremely close, I say, you know, out of all

109
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 7: my years playing football, this is one of the closest

110
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 7: groups I've been a part of. You know, we just

111
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:25,919
Speaker 7: grow a good friends and you know, we're tight. And

112
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,480
Speaker 7: when it comes to when it comes time to do

113
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 7: business and putting work out on the field, we're very

114
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 7: great business oriented and it's it's fun to be around

115
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 7: a group of guys like that.

116
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:35,600
Speaker 1: All right, we're not gonna talk about the heat, but

117
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 1: I want to mention this the bubble versus being out here,

118
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 1: and the feeling I get from the players is, even

119
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:42,360
Speaker 1: though it's one hundred degrees, you'd rather be out here

120
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 1: and grass than in there on an artificial surface.

121
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:46,719
Speaker 7: Correct, The turf doesn't feel good on the knees afterwards,

122
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 7: even thing even sometimes doing your you know, your facting

123
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:50,600
Speaker 7: on the turf, It's like, this does not feel good

124
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 7: on my knees, but it does. It's a lot cooler

125
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:55,479
Speaker 7: in there. It's about seventy degrees in there, which is

126
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 7: a lot nicer than it is out here. But I

127
00:04:57,760 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 7: I'd rather practice, I hear, to be honest with you. Current, Thanks,

128
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 7: good luck, appreciate it.

129
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:03,239
Speaker 1: I know the Texans have added a lot of talent

130
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:07,360
Speaker 1: on the defensive front. Sheldon Rankins, Hassan Ridgeway to name

131
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:10,600
Speaker 1: a couple, but man in that interior, Kurt Heinis, will

132
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 1: be heard from this year big time.

133
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:13,160
Speaker 2: Now.

134
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:15,600
Speaker 1: The man directing all of that along with Themiko Ryans,

135
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 1: Matt Burke, the defensive coordinator. Very interesting guys. So let's

136
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 1: dive deep here with a Drew's dozen with the DC.

137
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:24,159
Speaker 2: Matt Burke.

138
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 8: We have Matt Burke with us defensive coordinator. It's your

139
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 8: first time on a Drew's Dozen. We're honored to have you.

140
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:34,479
Speaker 8: This will be an interview personally. That's a first for

141
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 8: you because I'm not going to ask you about climbing mountains.

142
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 3: Perfect, perfect, cool with that.

143
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 9: I'm cool with that. Okay, beards, so let me say

144
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 9: the honor's mind.

145
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:42,600
Speaker 3: Oh that means a lot.

146
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:44,279
Speaker 8: We chit chat from time to time as you walk

147
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 8: by the desk in the offices. But let's start out

148
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:50,840
Speaker 8: with Burke rankings. The five Burks you got you, Brooke Burke,

149
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 8: just raise your eyebrowser Delta Burke, Matt Burke, the longtime

150
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 8: offensive lineman, and burkin Stocks.

151
00:05:57,520 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 3: Where do they rank?

152
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:01,280
Speaker 9: Oh? My good lord, watch wrong, I gotta get in

153
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:04,680
Speaker 9: trouble here. I go Brooke Burke. Fair enough, fair, no

154
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 9: explanation needed.

155
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 10: The other Matt Burke spells his name wrong, so I

156
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 10: got I gotta drop him a little bit. We take

157
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:13,039
Speaker 10: liberties with no, that's okay. I played against him in college,

158
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 10: so he was a great player.

159
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 7: I'll go.

160
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 10: I'll go to other Matt Burke. I'll go Birkenstocks. I

161
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 10: don't know man, I feel like I might get delta

162
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:21,920
Speaker 10: on this one.

163
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 9: I'll go fourth for me in.

164
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 3: Delta fifth strong ranking.

165
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:26,799
Speaker 9: Hope she doesn't come at me on that one.

166
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:28,840
Speaker 8: So you're you're a humble guy, because a lot of guys,

167
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 8: you know, it's be like ranked the Michaels and a

168
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:34,479
Speaker 8: guy who's you know, barely making the roster sometimes in

169
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:36,360
Speaker 8: the past over the last eight years when we've done that,

170
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:38,280
Speaker 8: you know, he's ranked himself first over Michael Jordan and

171
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 8: Michael Jackson.

172
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:40,599
Speaker 10: I probably should have gone three, like right dead in

173
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 10: the middle. That would have been just like a safer.

174
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:45,000
Speaker 8: Spot for me that you would have broken ground on that,

175
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,479
Speaker 8: because nobody's done that before. So you brought up you

176
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:51,039
Speaker 8: brought up college and you are a Dartmouth alum Ivy

177
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 8: League school.

178
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 3: We're not going to rank things. But of these Dartmouth

179
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:55,839
Speaker 3: number one, Darman, number.

180
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:58,920
Speaker 8: One, of these famous alums, Oh man, which one's your favorite?

181
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:01,719
Speaker 8: And you have to give me about thirty seconds. Why

182
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:04,239
Speaker 8: but you got Robert Frost, the poet, four time Puelzer

183
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 8: Prize winner, doctor Seuss, Mindy Kaling from the office and

184
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 8: other places, and mister Rogers.

185
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 9: Man, that's impossible.

186
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 10: Come on, come on, I would have to go with

187
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 10: Doctor Seuss right now, just because I have two young boys.

188
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 10: My oldest Finn is into Doctor Seuss books right now,

189
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 10: so I get I get plenty of one.

190
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 9: Fish, two fish, redfish, bluefish at night. So I'm gonna

191
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 9: go with Doctor Seuss. But all very distinguished alums right there.

192
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 8: Yeah, it's a school that's littered with like many many

193
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 8: high high achievers, and you're one of them. Let's okay,

194
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 8: let's veer off course. Pizza or cheeseburgers, pizza? What's the

195
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 8: perfect pizza for you?

196
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 9: Man, I'm all over the place with it.

197
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 10: I would say, like, I'm not like a lot of toppings,

198
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:49,120
Speaker 10: so like a meat and something I've been kind of on,

199
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 10: like a like a meat ball, and like to mate

200
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 10: like fresh tomatoes.

201
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 3: Kick.

202
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 10: My wife likes pepperoni and mushrooms, so we sometimes hit that.

203
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 10: I'm I'm on the pro Hawaiian pizza kick. So every

204
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 10: now and then I'll slip one out there.

205
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 3: Do your shoulders sag like mine?

206
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 8: Whenever you see it's like the only option is a

207
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 8: marguerite a pizza or a cheese pizza. Yeah.

208
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 10: I like a little funk, I like a little funk same.

209
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 3: It's good to know about you. I like that.

210
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 8: Okay, you got a beard. How long have you had

211
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 8: a beard?

212
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 7: Shoot?

213
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 10: Literally, I've had some form of facial hair since high school.

214
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 10: So really, yeah, I was high school and back in

215
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 10: the day, I thought it was cool, like I could

216
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 10: grow a decent beard, so I used to.

217
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 9: I used to just have a goatee.

218
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 10: And then for my senior picture and my mom didn't

219
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 10: like it, So for my senior pictures, which happened like

220
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:33,559
Speaker 10: junior spring or that summer before senior year, for my

221
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:36,560
Speaker 10: yearbook pictures, I shaved it off where I actually took

222
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:39,440
Speaker 10: my casual pics with the beard, and then.

223
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:42,440
Speaker 8: Thanks to a tree with your lecket slung over your

224
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 8: shoulder stuff.

225
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 10: And then and then my formal yearbook picture actually brought

226
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:48,319
Speaker 10: a razor and shaved it. And so I had cleaned

227
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:51,200
Speaker 10: my high school yearbook pictures clean shaven. And then I

228
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 10: started growing a back right after that, and I haven't

229
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:55,719
Speaker 10: been clean shaven since. The full beard has been in

230
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:57,839
Speaker 10: probably since like two thousand and I think ten or so.

231
00:08:57,920 --> 00:08:59,960
Speaker 10: I went to Russia on a trip and I just

232
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:01,319
Speaker 10: I felt like it was like a very Russian thing

233
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:02,600
Speaker 10: to do to just like grow a beard in.

234
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:04,320
Speaker 9: I kept it and I liked it. So there it is.

235
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 3: Did you go to Russia in the winter or the summer? Winter?

236
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 9: It was in the summer, so it was pretty warm.

237
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:09,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was fine.

238
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 9: It's nice. Yeah, but I don't know why. It just

239
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:11,840
Speaker 9: struck me. It's like I'm not going to shave and

240
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 9: the beard came in and it's kind of kept it since.

241
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:15,679
Speaker 3: How much did you know about Russia before you went?

242
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 9: A decent amount?

243
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 10: You know, I travel a lot, so it was obviously

244
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 10: a slightly different climate than it is now, but it

245
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 10: was I'll never forget the border crossing. I was in

246
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 10: Finland with a buddy and we took a train from

247
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:30,840
Speaker 10: Helsinki to Saint Petersburg and at the border crossing, the whatever,

248
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 10: the Russian Army whatever, they boarded the train and they

249
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 10: take your passport to I'm assuming to go check out,

250
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:38,319
Speaker 10: but they just take it and you're sitting on the train.

251
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 10: They leave a s soldier with a AK forty seven

252
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:42,400
Speaker 10: and a German shepherd.

253
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 9: On the car for like forty five minutes.

254
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 10: I'm like, they could be burning our passports right now,

255
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:48,440
Speaker 10: and what's going on? And then like an hour later

256
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 10: they come back and they give you back your papers

257
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 10: and they go, you go on your way.

258
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 9: So there were some nerving moments there for sure.

259
00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:56,720
Speaker 8: Yeah, I can imagine the surveillance state complete this sentence.

260
00:09:57,040 --> 00:10:00,320
Speaker 8: My favorite thing about H Town is I've been here

261
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:00,680
Speaker 8: a few months.

262
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 3: That's true.

263
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 9: That's true.

264
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:03,520
Speaker 10: I don't want to sell anything short right now. Man,

265
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:05,480
Speaker 10: I just feel like so far, I just I don't

266
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:08,160
Speaker 10: know how to word this. Like it's such a big

267
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 10: and diverse city that everything's available, Like it's almost like

268
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:12,760
Speaker 10: you can get whatever you want here, obviously food wise

269
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 10: and interest wise, and there's just a lot going on.

270
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:17,320
Speaker 10: It seems like, I'm we haven't obviously had a lot

271
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 10: of time to explore, but that just seems like it's

272
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:22,200
Speaker 10: it's just I've been in obviously like different size cities,

273
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 10: and this is my eighth team I've coached on, so

274
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 10: kind of travel around and you try to find wherever

275
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:29,319
Speaker 10: we go. We try to take advantage of whatever that

276
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:31,200
Speaker 10: city has to offer, and we're looking like, man, there's

277
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:33,680
Speaker 10: everything here, it seems like, so I feel like the

278
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 10: just availability of everything is going to be really cool.

279
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:38,079
Speaker 9: It's not the weather right now, and so I can

280
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:38,439
Speaker 9: tell you.

281
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 8: That as a Houstonian of forty six years, it's never

282
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 8: been this hot.

283
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:43,679
Speaker 3: This is miserable.

284
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 8: Yes, so you're not whining, You're not complaining. I'm whining

285
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:49,959
Speaker 8: right with you. Okay, you've been a lot of places.

286
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 8: Just brought up Russia, You've been all over europ Africa, Age.

287
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:55,840
Speaker 8: What's a country you got to go to next? It

288
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:57,719
Speaker 8: could be one that you've already visited, but what's the

289
00:10:57,720 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 8: next one for you?

290
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 10: I rarely go double up on countries. I've only been

291
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 10: to two countries twice repeat, Iceland and Costa Rica.

292
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:08,560
Speaker 9: Actually, so I try not to do that. There's just

293
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:09,880
Speaker 9: too much the world to explore.

294
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:12,440
Speaker 10: I would say at the top of my list, it's

295
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:14,840
Speaker 10: probably a tigh. I really want to go down to

296
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 10: Patagonia to like Argentina and Chile.

297
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:17,160
Speaker 1: Like.

298
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 10: The problem for me is that the seasons are off,

299
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:21,680
Speaker 10: so when are off times the summer, it's the winner

300
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:23,680
Speaker 10: down there. It's hard to hike and like of the

301
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:26,440
Speaker 10: you know, Antarctica and the Winner. So I haven't really

302
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 10: had a chance to do that, So that would be

303
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:29,520
Speaker 10: probably top from.

304
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:30,199
Speaker 9: A hiking standpoint.

305
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:32,440
Speaker 10: I really want to hike through some of that area,

306
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 10: and then I really want to do coast scuba diving.

307
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 9: And the Galapagos can go down there.

308
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:37,679
Speaker 10: And do a little war ball we see obviously obviously

309
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:39,719
Speaker 10: unique marine life there and everything going on. So those

310
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:41,800
Speaker 10: are those are two kind of like definitely like bucket trips.

311
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:44,400
Speaker 9: I'm still holding on to. But there's plenty. There's plenty

312
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:45,199
Speaker 9: of other places to go.

313
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 8: Those are good ones. I like that the Galapagos. There's

314
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:49,199
Speaker 8: a nice little exhibit at the Houston Zoo. Probably not

315
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 8: the same as the Galapagos, but still pretty good.

316
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 7: I'll check it out.

317
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 9: Let's let's say I told you this everything here.

318
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:55,440
Speaker 3: Let's wrap this up.

319
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 8: Okay, which of your fellow assistant coaches could be either

320
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:01,960
Speaker 8: side of the ball makes you the hardest?

321
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:05,800
Speaker 10: I gotta this is a strategic I would say, I'm

322
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 10: gonna go Jake Moreland.

323
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:09,439
Speaker 9: Really yeah, so I actually I have a history.

324
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 10: Jake and I work together. Actually are you're in the Jets.

325
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 10: Jake and I actually shared a cubicle but the office

326
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 10: space was kind of cramped and said, hey, we literally

327
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:19,000
Speaker 10: were cubicle mates for one year and we kind of

328
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:20,320
Speaker 10: got to know each other well. And when you're in

329
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:23,240
Speaker 10: that environment, you gotta gotta keep things light hearted, and

330
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:24,560
Speaker 10: we were going back and forth, and.

331
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:26,079
Speaker 9: It's pretty much continued here. I don't know if you

332
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 9: can tell.

333
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:29,599
Speaker 10: Sometimes that practice where I stand kind of watching the

334
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:32,679
Speaker 10: practice is where the tight ends are, so we're always

335
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:33,959
Speaker 10: kind of have a little back and forth there. So

336
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 10: I'd say, he can get me. You know, he's known

337
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:38,120
Speaker 10: me for a little bit, so I would say, Jake Moreland.

338
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 7: That's my answer.

339
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:39,960
Speaker 3: Okay, this will be the last question.

340
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 7: That's fine.

341
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:43,440
Speaker 8: As cubicle mates, which of you was the one who

342
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:47,760
Speaker 8: would bring the box of salmon or whatever the smelliest

343
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:49,360
Speaker 8: food to eat into the cubicle or were you both

344
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:50,000
Speaker 8: going about.

345
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 9: Not We're good with that. We were actually very good,

346
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:54,320
Speaker 9: very It was actually a like a four.

347
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 10: Person kind of It was like an open space and

348
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:58,199
Speaker 10: then where the four corners had the desks, and Jake

349
00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 10: and I were back to back, and Leon Washington, former

350
00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 10: play was over there and his wife actually makes candles,

351
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:06,840
Speaker 10: so he would bring candles in from his wife. So

352
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 10: we had a nice candle sent and a cubicle set going.

353
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 10: Jake and I would go back and forth on music choices, and.

354
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 9: It was it was a good environment.

355
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:16,680
Speaker 10: It was a fun little fit and funnel healthy cubicle set.

356
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:17,719
Speaker 3: That's good man.

357
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:20,840
Speaker 8: You gotta find the cubicle mate whose wife makes candles.

358
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:23,080
Speaker 3: Unless it's janned from the office. You don't want her candles.

359
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:25,520
Speaker 3: So yeah, hey, we really appreciate the time, best.

360
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 9: Lot always, thanks man, thanks for having me.

361
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 2: All Right, that was really interesting with Matt Burke.

362
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:32,200
Speaker 1: Maybe too interesting for a football show, now, it's really cool.

363
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:33,240
Speaker 2: He's an interesting guy.

364
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:37,439
Speaker 1: And we talked before that about Heinish and other guys

365
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:40,360
Speaker 1: that he's directing on that defense, and let's flip it here.

366
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:45,080
Speaker 1: Jews Scruggs the center facing tough defensive lineman and he's

367
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:47,720
Speaker 1: a rookie pressed into action. You all remember the injury

368
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 1: to Scotty Quesnberry in camp. Jews Scruggs, I know a

369
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:52,880
Speaker 1: lot of people projected him to be a starter, but

370
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:55,080
Speaker 1: you never know until you know what's it like for

371
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:58,720
Speaker 1: him facing those tough defensive linemen like Sheldon Rankins and

372
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:00,360
Speaker 1: Malik Collins to name it few.

373
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:03,360
Speaker 11: Yeah, No, it definitely get me better every day going,

374
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:08,079
Speaker 11: especially Malik. He's a shifty guy, very very creative and passame.

375
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:10,719
Speaker 11: Just going to get them to shout them to this

376
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:12,679
Speaker 11: just makes me better and I'm glad I get to

377
00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:14,640
Speaker 11: go to against those guys because that's what you're gonna see.

378
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 1: Wee can week out in this league, Texans needs Scrugs

379
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 1: to come up big. Now, how's he adjusting to be

380
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 1: that quarterback of the offensive line?

381
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 2: How doing I make the calls?

382
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:24,000
Speaker 8: Oh?

383
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 11: Yeah, definitely, it's definitely a challenge, but it's definitely something

384
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:29,840
Speaker 11: that I'm willing to do and more than more than

385
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:32,040
Speaker 11: capable of doing. It was something I had to do

386
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:34,440
Speaker 11: at Penn State and it's just gonna translate to the

387
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:37,680
Speaker 11: next level. And definitely it's a lot more at this level,

388
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 11: but it's just something I'm getting more comfortable each day

389
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 11: he's practice and just keep tipping away at it.

390
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:47,520
Speaker 1: All Right, Former Penn State center Juice Scrugs now is Houston, Texas.

391
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:49,120
Speaker 1: All We have a lot more coming up on the

392
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:54,440
Speaker 1: program tonight, including Ben McDaniels. We'll talk to him about. Hey,

393
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 1: I know everybody knows who his brother is. I mean,

394
00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:58,600
Speaker 1: that's the elephant in the room sometimes, right, But what

395
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 1: about his dad? His dad was a coach in Ohio.

396
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:04,200
Speaker 1: He's a legend. As a matter of fact, Alex Bachmann,

397
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 1: who I've nicknamed of course Bachman Turner overdrive because I'm

398
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:11,400
Speaker 1: a classic rocker. He's coming up John Grenard special visit

399
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:14,560
Speaker 1: with him. Can't get enough of John Grenard on the radio,

400
00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:17,040
Speaker 1: So let's get a little bit more here tonight on

401
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:20,600
Speaker 1: Texans Radio. All right, it's Texans Radio and we've got

402
00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 1: many more interviews for you tonight. It's an interview extravaganza program.

403
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:28,520
Speaker 1: A few things about the Miami Dolphins coming in tomorrow.

404
00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:30,760
Speaker 1: There was a time when the Texans never lost to

405
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 1: the Miami Dolphins, and it was glorious. It was so

406
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:35,720
Speaker 1: much fun until twenty fifteen when it was Katie bar

407
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:38,600
Speaker 1: the door and a really rough loss in Miami. Then

408
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:41,280
Speaker 1: the series started to even out a bit, and I've

409
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 1: really not enjoyed that part of it, especially losing back

410
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:46,520
Speaker 1: to back down there each of the last two years

411
00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 1: in twenty one and twenty two, and last year was

412
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:49,240
Speaker 1: really painful.

413
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:50,400
Speaker 2: As you all remember.

414
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 1: Let's just forget about that one because it's a new

415
00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:56,720
Speaker 1: era and it's fun to have Mike McDaniel facing Demico Ryans.

416
00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 1: McDaniel's going to meet with the media at eight thirty

417
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 1: tomorrow's so start looking for the tweets and Texans social

418
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:04,400
Speaker 1: media coverage of that. I'm not sure for streaming that live,

419
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:07,720
Speaker 1: but hey, it'll be a lot of coverage associated with that.

420
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:10,960
Speaker 1: McDaniel media visit here in Houston, where he was an

421
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 1: assistant assistant assistant. I mean, he was one of those

422
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 1: guys buried in the offices, guys work in the cubicles.

423
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 1: And I've talked about people like this who are head

424
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:23,360
Speaker 1: coaches now, Matt Lafleur, Rob Sala, and there's so many.

425
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:26,120
Speaker 1: Richard high Tower, by the way, that's a name that

426
00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:28,400
Speaker 1: doesn't come up much. He's not a head coach yet,

427
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:31,360
Speaker 1: but he was special teams coordinator for the forty nine

428
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:34,200
Speaker 1: ers and is now that for the Chicago Bears. He

429
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:38,080
Speaker 1: started out here as a marketing intern, not a football

430
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 1: ops intern, a marketing intern, but worked his way through

431
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 1: football operations. I think he was friends with Kyle Shanahan.

432
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 1: Got a low level position, there's nothing low, there are

433
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 1: no low positions, but not exactly a high ranking position, right,

434
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:53,680
Speaker 1: and worked his way up and now he's a special

435
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:56,240
Speaker 1: teams coordinator. It's very cool stuff when you think about

436
00:16:56,240 --> 00:17:00,200
Speaker 1: the pathways of some of these coaches, especially McDaniel, who

437
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:03,680
Speaker 1: had success last year from Miami because leading Miami to

438
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:07,800
Speaker 1: the playoffs these days is a success. Now, there was

439
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:13,120
Speaker 1: a time Don Shula most wins ever. Jimmy Johnson takes over.

440
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:16,800
Speaker 1: They had playoff teams in the Jimmy Johnson era. He

441
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:20,440
Speaker 1: said goodbye after the nineteen ninety nine season, got blown

442
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:22,440
Speaker 1: out by the Jags in the playoffs sixty two to seven.

443
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:25,440
Speaker 1: Dave Wantstet takes over. But there's still a playoff team,

444
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:28,600
Speaker 1: really good defense, Jason Taylor, Zach Thomas, you know the rest.

445
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:32,000
Speaker 1: They could never replace Dan Marino and after that Wants

446
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 1: that era, they really dropped off dramatically. So making the

447
00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:39,320
Speaker 1: playoffs for them now is nice. But they are loaded.

448
00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:40,960
Speaker 1: They feel they are. And if you look at the

449
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:42,760
Speaker 1: roster man, they got a lot of backs, a lot

450
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:44,840
Speaker 1: of former forty nine er backs, of course, with Jeff

451
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:48,280
Speaker 1: Wilson and most Dirt and those guys. But it's going

452
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:50,679
Speaker 1: to be fun to watch them in action here, especially

453
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:53,719
Speaker 1: our old buddy, and I say Buddy with air quotes

454
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:57,040
Speaker 1: because he's really a Texansville and Tyreek Hill. So looking

455
00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:59,480
Speaker 1: forward to seeing the Dolphins out there at the Houston

456
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:03,640
Speaker 1: Methodist Training Center. And this is my sort of semi

457
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:06,639
Speaker 1: annual telling of the story. The Dolphins came here for

458
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:08,920
Speaker 1: a joint practice in two thousand and four. I wrote

459
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 1: about this on Houston Texans dot com. They saw the

460
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 1: practice bubble and they thought we need one of those.

461
00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:17,480
Speaker 1: At the time, they were practicing in Davy, Florida, and

462
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:19,720
Speaker 1: they did not have an indoor facility, so they would

463
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:22,200
Speaker 1: just sweat it out all training camp long. And it's

464
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:25,200
Speaker 1: not very pleasant in Miami in the heat of the summer.

465
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:27,160
Speaker 1: I know it's bad here, but believe me, it's even

466
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:30,800
Speaker 1: more humid there. Not quite as hot, but more humid there.

467
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 1: And that's when they were really tough to beat.

468
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:32,800
Speaker 6: Man.

469
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:34,880
Speaker 1: They were really tough to beat in September in South

470
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:38,880
Speaker 1: Florida at what is formerly known as Joe Robbie Stadium,

471
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:41,480
Speaker 1: the Orange Bowl, wherever they were playing throughout that entire era.

472
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:45,720
Speaker 1: Now obviously a different situation, but the last year under

473
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:48,560
Speaker 1: McDaniel better, and they're hoping for better things this year.

474
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:51,880
Speaker 1: Very good test for the Houston Texans. All right, let's

475
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:56,000
Speaker 1: catch up with some more people here. This coach, Ben

476
00:18:56,080 --> 00:19:01,000
Speaker 1: McDaniels is the passing game coordinator and wide receipt coach

477
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:03,720
Speaker 1: and an interesting guy. You know, he's Josh McDaniel's brother.

478
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:06,640
Speaker 1: You already know that his father was a legendary Ohio

479
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:10,560
Speaker 1: football coach. He went to Kent State himself and John

480
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:14,639
Speaker 1: Harris and I visited with Ben McDaniels after practice. So

481
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:17,520
Speaker 1: how's this going so far for you? One preseason game,

482
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:20,000
Speaker 1: the entire camp? How do you assess your group and

483
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:21,920
Speaker 1: being the passing game coordinator as well?

484
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:24,120
Speaker 12: Growing growing every day.

485
00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:27,640
Speaker 13: Plenty of young guys in a room, and and that's

486
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 13: the focus of training camp. Kind of stacking those installs.

487
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 13: That's always the focus on the early part of training camp.

488
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:38,720
Speaker 13: You know, installs, just keep coming what's required of your

489
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:42,280
Speaker 13: changes on a daily basis, you know, with different installs

490
00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:47,760
Speaker 13: and and different plays and concepts. But now it starts

491
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:51,159
Speaker 13: to slow down, and now it's stacking those details, cleaning

492
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:54,400
Speaker 13: up mistakes that we've made and no longer making those.

493
00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:57,520
Speaker 12: And that's the chase coach.

494
00:19:57,520 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 14: You do have a lot of young guys, no doubt,

495
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:01,159
Speaker 14: but you also have a grizz Robert Woods.

496
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:02,280
Speaker 6: What does he meant to the group.

497
00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 13: He's prepared at all times in the meeting room and

498
00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:11,200
Speaker 13: on the field, does a great job of preparing his body.

499
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:17,120
Speaker 13: And man, I've I've had a couple good VET guys

500
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:20,560
Speaker 13: in the room over the past handful of years, and

501
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 13: he's he's that same mold and we're lucky to have him.

502
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:29,360
Speaker 12: A great learning tool for everybody in the room.

503
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:31,960
Speaker 1: We could talk all day about guys catching the ball

504
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:34,879
Speaker 1: and Tank Doll and Nico and everybody, but what about

505
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:36,720
Speaker 1: blocking for the run game?

506
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:37,160
Speaker 7: Coach?

507
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:40,240
Speaker 1: How important is that we see some emphasis on that

508
00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:40,680
Speaker 1: for sure?

509
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:41,200
Speaker 7: Out here?

510
00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:43,960
Speaker 13: Yeah, there's there's seventy ish plays a game, and we

511
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:46,240
Speaker 13: matter on all of them. And that's how we try

512
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:48,760
Speaker 13: and look at it. And our ability to affect the

513
00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:52,760
Speaker 13: running game and make place in the running game. I mean,

514
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:56,560
Speaker 13: we make plays in the running game just like we

515
00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:58,800
Speaker 13: make plays in the passing game. They look different, our

516
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:02,960
Speaker 13: our job requirements a little different, but our ability to

517
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:05,120
Speaker 13: make plays in the running game help the running game

518
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:07,080
Speaker 13: is gonna help us have an explosive running game.

519
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 12: And uh, and that's as important as any job.

520
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:11,520
Speaker 6: We have, coach.

521
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:13,960
Speaker 14: I know, having John Metchi on your side has got

522
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:15,760
Speaker 14: to be it's got to be great because he's a

523
00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:16,320
Speaker 14: gym route.

524
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:16,840
Speaker 7: We know all that.

525
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:19,240
Speaker 14: But do you find yourself at some point going this

526
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 14: kuy just beaut leukemia. I don't know, if I could

527
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:22,880
Speaker 14: really get on him because you ran the wrong route

528
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:25,000
Speaker 14: or the wrong thing. Do you find yourself doing that

529
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:25,720
Speaker 14: with John?

530
00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:29,520
Speaker 12: I don't, And I like he wouldn't want me to

531
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:31,080
Speaker 12: do that either. You know, this is.

532
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 13: Football, and and uh, you know, when you do football,

533
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:37,399
Speaker 13: you put your your foot on the gas pedal. And

534
00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:44,119
Speaker 13: whether it's coaching, whether it's playing, he's what he accomplished

535
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:48,600
Speaker 13: in his his road back is well documented and we

536
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:52,240
Speaker 13: all have great respect for that road and we love

537
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:57,040
Speaker 13: that he's here and rolling and we're at that part

538
00:21:57,119 --> 00:22:02,080
Speaker 13: where it's football and and the foots on the gas pedal.

539
00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:05,080
Speaker 13: So that's my job, that's his job, and he's doing

540
00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:06,000
Speaker 13: a good job attacking it.

541
00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:09,400
Speaker 1: Ben McDaniels with us, all right, passing game coordinator, what's

542
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:11,960
Speaker 1: it like working with Bobby Slowick to put the aerial

543
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:14,119
Speaker 1: attack together as a whole.

544
00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:18,639
Speaker 13: Yeah, it's awesome to implement his system and try and

545
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:21,880
Speaker 13: get everybody on the same page, try and try and

546
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:26,080
Speaker 13: uh accomplish his vision for the play. You know, that's

547
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:29,480
Speaker 13: what you're doing as a as an assistant coach or

548
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:34,560
Speaker 13: a player, and and obviously we feed it to them.

549
00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:35,000
Speaker 12: And so it's been a lot of fun.

550
00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:38,639
Speaker 13: A lot of a lot of new stuff you know

551
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:41,920
Speaker 13: in the system, and and that's healthy and good for everybody.

552
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:45,359
Speaker 13: And he does a great job of of providing details

553
00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:46,520
Speaker 13: on what he wants.

554
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:48,520
Speaker 12: And and we're all we're all on the.

555
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:51,000
Speaker 13: Same page trying to push that to the players and

556
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:52,199
Speaker 13: and Chase the details of it.

557
00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:54,679
Speaker 14: Coach out is a joint practices this week coming up

558
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:57,360
Speaker 14: with Miami. Just seeing a different colored jersey in your practice,

559
00:22:57,359 --> 00:22:59,960
Speaker 14: but also something you could control as opposed to a game.

560
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:02,080
Speaker 3: How poor of the joint practice coming up, especially for

561
00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 3: the young guys.

562
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:04,720
Speaker 12: They're huge. I mean it's well documented.

563
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:09,000
Speaker 13: Just less reps, less games, you know, in the preseason

564
00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:13,120
Speaker 13: than uh than before. So every every rep that you have,

565
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:17,400
Speaker 13: whether it be practice or games, to to evaluate yourself

566
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:21,920
Speaker 13: and your your physical and mental ability is awesome. Love

567
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:25,200
Speaker 13: practicing with other teams and the challenge that that presents

568
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:29,080
Speaker 13: in a practice setting always brings great energy to a practice.

569
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:33,639
Speaker 13: Players love that, coaches love that, and and it's.

570
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:37,480
Speaker 12: It's a it's a great way to attack training camp.

571
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:40,159
Speaker 1: When you can't Ben McDaniels with us, everybody asks you

572
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:41,439
Speaker 1: about your brother, I'm not gonna do that.

573
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:42,439
Speaker 3: What about your father?

574
00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:45,879
Speaker 1: Though your father is this Ohio football legend as a coach?

575
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:48,600
Speaker 1: How has he influenced you? How are you different or

576
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:50,280
Speaker 1: similar as a coach yourself?

577
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:53,600
Speaker 13: I don't know that I've thought about how different or

578
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:58,040
Speaker 13: similar over the years. I know that I'm certainly a

579
00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:03,440
Speaker 13: product of him, know, through in every way, through osmosis

580
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:07,879
Speaker 13: for how many ever years that was and uh, and

581
00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:12,359
Speaker 13: purposely you know, he was, Uh, he's he's he's a

582
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:14,880
Speaker 13: really good coach. He's retired, but he's still a coach.

583
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:17,480
Speaker 13: So I don't use that in a past tense.

584
00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:19,800
Speaker 12: So he was a.

585
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:25,400
Speaker 13: Great a great vision for what you know, me and

586
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:29,280
Speaker 13: and Josh wanted to be as a coach. How he

587
00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:34,040
Speaker 13: treats players, how he motivated players, how the detail and

588
00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:38,680
Speaker 13: and the work ethic that he always used, and and.

589
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:40,199
Speaker 12: It was, it was.

590
00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:42,480
Speaker 13: It was a great way for us to grow up

591
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:46,199
Speaker 13: with a very clear vision of how to try to

592
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:49,040
Speaker 13: be successful at at loving.

593
00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:51,480
Speaker 12: Football and being a football coach. When did you know?

594
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:56,800
Speaker 13: I think I always knew, but at some point in

595
00:24:56,840 --> 00:25:01,359
Speaker 13: college it just kind of became pretty clear that, you know,

596
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:02,680
Speaker 13: I love football too.

597
00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:04,040
Speaker 12: Much to not do football.

598
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:09,000
Speaker 13: So at some point that that became, that became the

599
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:13,560
Speaker 13: direction that I that I headed in, especially as you

600
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:16,880
Speaker 13: just stopped playing and and and created a vision for yourself.

601
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:20,280
Speaker 12: And yeah, football's football has.

602
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:22,960
Speaker 13: Been in my blood forever and it became pretty clear.

603
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:23,439
Speaker 7: All right.

604
00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:24,760

00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:05,520
Speaker 2: I love that Doug Flutie faced.

626
00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:08,280
Speaker 1: The Texans in a preseason game once upon a time.

627
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:10,919
Speaker 1: And these are all legends in their own way, right,

628
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:12,760
Speaker 1: Flute's not a Hall of Famer, He's a college Hall

629
00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:15,160
Speaker 1: of Famer. Same thing with Tibo Heisman Trophy winner. Both

630
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:17,639
Speaker 1: guys are and a college football Hall of Famer. But

631
00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:19,960
Speaker 1: I just love stuff like that. And I love that

632
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:22,960
Speaker 1: John Madden. I remember when he passed and everyone was

633
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:25,680
Speaker 1: scrambling wondering has he ever called the Texans game? People

634
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:28,000
Speaker 1: were tweeting he never called the Texans game because they

635
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:31,520
Speaker 1: didn't have that Monday slash Sunday night appearance early on

636
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:32,720
Speaker 1: in the franchise's history.

637
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:33,160
Speaker 2: But they did.

638
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:36,880
Speaker 1: They faced the Giants in the Hall of Fame game

639
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:39,320
Speaker 1: in two thousand and two, the very first game action

640
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:42,440
Speaker 1: the Texans played of any kind, and Madden and Al

641
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:44,440
Speaker 1: Michaels were on the call.

642
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:47,320
Speaker 2: And I love that. I love that Madden saw.

643
00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:50,040
Speaker 1: The Houston Texans at least once before he retired and

644
00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:53,480
Speaker 1: then ultimately he passed. The funny thing is I was

645
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:56,520
Speaker 1: watching a Hall of Fame game this year and there's

646
00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:59,760
Speaker 1: Melissa Stark, and Melissa Stark was on the sideline when

647
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:01,560
Speaker 1: the took on the Giants in the Hall of Fame

648
00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:03,600
Speaker 1: game in two thousand and two. I just think that's amazing.

649
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:07,800
Speaker 1: She looks exactly the same. Some people can do that.

650
00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:11,080
Speaker 1: I don't know how. All right, let's get to this

651
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:15,639
Speaker 1: now receiver who caught a touchdown pass in the game

652
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:18,720
Speaker 1: against the New England Patriots, and he's been turning heads

653
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:21,040
Speaker 1: of camp. This guy works hard. In fact, I saw

654
00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:23,639
Speaker 1: him do the veteran move as well. He was walking

655
00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:26,760
Speaker 1: back to the facility from practice with a backpack with

656
00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:29,280
Speaker 1: his cleats in there, and he was wearing slides and

657
00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:30,800
Speaker 1: I asked him about it, and he said, well, the

658
00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:32,840
Speaker 1: cleats that he uses are different or something like that.

659
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:33,920
Speaker 2: I don't know what it was. He didn't want to

660
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:36,200
Speaker 2: ruin the cleats on the pavement or whatever walking pack.

661
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:37,640
Speaker 2: But I noted that.

662
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:40,640
Speaker 1: I also noted that he's been catching the ball very

663
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:43,679
Speaker 1: well and had that ted reception against the Patriots. And

664
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:46,439
Speaker 1: Drew Doherty noted a whole bunch of other things about Alex,

665
00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:48,760
Speaker 1: who I've nicknamed Bachman Turner overdrive.

666
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:49,879
Speaker 2: Here's Drew and Alex.

667
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:53,920
Speaker 8: Wide receiver Alex Bachman joins us now on Drew's dozen. Alex,

668
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:55,879
Speaker 8: congrats on the nice game the other night. What was

669
00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:57,600
Speaker 8: he like scoring a touchdown? Take me through that play

670
00:27:57,640 --> 00:27:57,879
Speaker 8: with him.

671
00:27:57,920 --> 00:27:59,760
Speaker 15: I was good When the call came in, I was

672
00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:02,320
Speaker 15: pre confident we are gonna score on it hard inside

673
00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:04,520
Speaker 15: levers cover zero. You knew the ball was coming in

674
00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:06,320
Speaker 15: case put a good ball on me. So it's great call,

675
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:08,560
Speaker 15: great throw, having to get both feed in and you know,

676
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:09,920
Speaker 15: put some points on the board from my team.

677
00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:13,080
Speaker 8: What's it like being out here going through things? It's

678
00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:15,520
Speaker 8: hot and everything, but doing what you're doing on a

679
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:17,160
Speaker 8: consistent basis, You're making plays.

680
00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:19,520
Speaker 15: I think I appreciate that. I just come with a

681
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:22,119
Speaker 15: twenty four hour mindset. Really, I don't think about the

682
00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 15: previous day. I don't think about the next. I just

683
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:25,760
Speaker 15: try and take advantage of every moment I have and

684
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:28,680
Speaker 15: dreaming to be in the NFL since I was a kid,

685
00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:29,920
Speaker 15: So I don't want to let it go by. I

686
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:32,119
Speaker 15: don't want to waste one day when one play, So

687
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:34,399
Speaker 15: try and take advantage of every moment. Make plays for

688
00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:36,879
Speaker 15: my team, you know, try and play football as long

689
00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:37,280
Speaker 15: as I can.

690
00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:39,680
Speaker 8: How much does the old school red bandana that you're

691
00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:40,680
Speaker 8: wearing right now help out?

692
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:43,560
Speaker 15: Just brings a little bit of an edge, a little

693
00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:44,320
Speaker 15: bit of something different.

694
00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:46,440
Speaker 6: I brought the idea to a couple of the dvs

695
00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:46,720
Speaker 6: and we.

696
00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:49,000
Speaker 15: Were doing some the workouts in the off season. They're like, yeah,

697
00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:51,640
Speaker 15: let's do it. So I'm like, why not just have

698
00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:54,280
Speaker 15: a little fun out here and you know, just create

699
00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:54,800
Speaker 15: a little bit of.

700
00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:56,560
Speaker 6: Edge, create a little juice energy.

701
00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:56,800
Speaker 9: You know.

702
00:28:56,920 --> 00:28:59,000
Speaker 8: Was it a group idea and they left you hanging

703
00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:01,400
Speaker 8: or was it saying, Hey, I think I'm going to

704
00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:01,640
Speaker 8: do this.

705
00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:02,800
Speaker 3: What do you guys think of it?

706
00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:03,760
Speaker 6: No, it's my idea.

707
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:05,600
Speaker 15: I brought it, and I was like, just have a

708
00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:08,320
Speaker 15: little you know, quote unquote, why boy swagger, bring a

709
00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:10,720
Speaker 15: little juice. I think the defensive backs love of their severs,

710
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:12,360
Speaker 15: love it, you know, anything you can do to kind

711
00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:14,440
Speaker 15: of switch it up and make this time out here fun.

712
00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:16,200
Speaker 15: I think a lot of guys get caught up and

713
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:19,080
Speaker 15: the heat and the grinds, and you know, it can

714
00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:20,719
Speaker 15: become tiresome a little bit.

715
00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:22,440
Speaker 6: And so anytime you can do something to.

716
00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:24,520
Speaker 15: Create a smile, create a laugh, or just you know,

717
00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:27,680
Speaker 15: bring some juice to the practice, I take that opportunity.

718
00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:29,800
Speaker 8: I find it refreshing because it's old school and there's

719
00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:32,400
Speaker 8: nothing sponsored about it. There's nothing homogeous. It's you know,

720
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:33,960
Speaker 8: it's different, it's different. So I salute that.

721
00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:35,400
Speaker 6: Okay, thank you so much. I appreciate that.

722
00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:36,680
Speaker 3: All right, your name is Bachman.

723
00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:41,520
Speaker 8: Let's rank the five box we have you Bachman, Turner, overdrive,

00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:48,880
Speaker 3: Where those rank? Where do you rank?

727
00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:49,000
Speaker 1: What?

728
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:50,560
Speaker 3: What's the top five? How's it shake out?

729
00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:51,600
Speaker 6: Well?

730
00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:54,720
Speaker 15: Bachman, Turner's got to be number one, to be completely frank,

731
00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:55,520
Speaker 15: I don't know the others.

732
00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:59,000
Speaker 6: So I'll take myself at two. Let me let me,

733
00:29:59,080 --> 00:29:59,640
Speaker 6: let me see this list.

734
00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:00,800
Speaker 3: It's a beer.

735
00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:03,480
Speaker 6: It's a beer, okay, so we can get a little frisky.

736
00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:05,720
Speaker 8: All right, you'll na box a composer.

737
00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:08,720
Speaker 15: O oh no, okay, with all the respect. Back the composer.

738
00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:11,800
Speaker 15: He's got to go one anytime. It's funny. Anytime people

739
00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:13,800
Speaker 15: ask me how to pronounce it, I say back, like

740
00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:14,440
Speaker 15: the composer.

741
00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:16,960
Speaker 6: So I didn't know his first name was Johann. So

742
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:17,560
Speaker 6: he's gotta go one.

743
00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:19,720
Speaker 15: I'll take back Turner at two. I'll take the beer

744
00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:21,000
Speaker 15: at three. What was the other one?

745
00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:24,760
Speaker 8: I'll be back by the terminator by Arnold Schwartze Oh. Shoot,

746
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:27,320
Speaker 8: see this is an onion a question tough.

747
00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:28,840
Speaker 15: This is tougher than I thought it was at the beginning.

748
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:31,080
Speaker 15: I think I haven't earned the right to be in

749
00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:32,520
Speaker 15: front of any of those. I'll take myself at five.

750
00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:35,240
Speaker 15: Now I'm screaming back, you're a humble guy. Yeah, I'll

751
00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:38,080
Speaker 15: take terminator at three and then uh, I'll take the

752
00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:39,760
Speaker 15: beer at four and then me at five.

753
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:42,880
Speaker 3: Fair enough, Okay, you got the terminator. Can you do?

754
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:44,000
Speaker 3: Can you say I'll be back?

755
00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:45,240
Speaker 6: I'll be back.

756
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:46,960
Speaker 3: You a fan of his work, Arnold.

757
00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:48,760
Speaker 6: He was a governor of California when when I was

758
00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:50,880
Speaker 6: growing up. So a couple of his, like Saturday Night

759
00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:51,960
Speaker 6: Live skits.

760
00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:54,440
Speaker 15: Hans and Franz. Yes, yeah, yeah, that's I grew up on.

761
00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:56,240
Speaker 15: That showed me that I was growing up so much

762
00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:56,920
Speaker 15: respect to him.

763
00:30:56,960 --> 00:31:00,200
Speaker 8: So you're also a wake for Stemon Deacon. I all

764
00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:03,000
Speaker 8: of a school, hell of a pedigree of athletes. You've

765
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:06,479
Speaker 8: got Arnold Palmer went there, the golfer, Chris Paul, Tim Duncan.

766
00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:09,400
Speaker 8: Who's your favorite all time Wake Forest athlete not named

767
00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:10,400
Speaker 8: Alex Boger.

768
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:12,560
Speaker 15: I think growing up it was Chris Paul. The CP

769
00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:16,080
Speaker 15: three actually wore three in basketball, not necessarily because of him,

770
00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:18,720
Speaker 15: but he had him Ai. Dwayne Wade was my favorite

771
00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:21,680
Speaker 15: basketball player, so being a point guard three was one

772
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:22,560
Speaker 15: of the numbers I wore.

773
00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:24,720
Speaker 6: As I've gotten older, Arnold Palmer's.

774
00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:27,760
Speaker 15: Probably become my favorite, just because I've gotten into golf

775
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:31,160
Speaker 15: and actually Arnold Palmer's a favorite drink. Funny enough, but

776
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:32,600
Speaker 15: I think people forget out Brian Piccolough's.

777
00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:34,520
Speaker 6: He's up there too as well in my rankings.

778
00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:37,000
Speaker 3: Do they still have Piccolo Hall? Like those?

779
00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:39,959
Speaker 15: So I stayed in Palmer, and I stayed in Piccolo

780
00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:42,920
Speaker 15: during our summer sessions when we had to be you know,

781
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:44,880
Speaker 15: taking extra classes to get our summer workouts in.

782
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:46,040
Speaker 6: That's kind of where we stayed.

783
00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:47,680
Speaker 15: So there was one summer I stayed in Piccolo and

784
00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:48,800
Speaker 15: another summer I stayed in Palmer.

785
00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:50,840
Speaker 8: So kind of a side off to the at least

786
00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:51,760
Speaker 8: back in the nineties when I.

787
00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:53,920
Speaker 15: Went, it's off to this higle of it so, but

788
00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:55,840
Speaker 15: it's kind of close to the football facility a little bit,

789
00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:58,280
Speaker 15: so not short walk in the in the mornings for

790
00:31:58,320 --> 00:31:59,160
Speaker 15: five am workouts.

791
00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:00,680
Speaker 3: It's a nice setup there have over there.

792
00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:05,800
Speaker 8: Okay, tell me about your thoughts on Aliens extra terrestrials.

793
00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:07,680
Speaker 6: I feel like there's something out there.

794
00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:11,680
Speaker 15: I don't think it's the scary people coming to Earth

795
00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:13,320
Speaker 15: to take over the world type of thing.

796
00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:14,560
Speaker 6: But it's a big universe.

797
00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:17,680
Speaker 15: God's pretty creative, So I'm thinking, with how big the

798
00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:21,600
Speaker 15: universe is, it's beyond our comprehension, there might be something

799
00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:22,360
Speaker 15: out that it's living.

800
00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:24,720
Speaker 8: You're probably of the mind, right, Like there's stuff that's

801
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:27,440
Speaker 8: less advanced than us, like Amba type, and then there's

802
00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:29,400
Speaker 8: stuff that's way beyond us and they're like, well whatever,

803
00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:30,320
Speaker 8: there's just humans on them.

804
00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:32,960
Speaker 15: Yeah, yeah, something like that. I'm sure there's definitely some

805
00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:35,600
Speaker 15: less advanced stuff for sure. Whether there's something more complicated

806
00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:37,680
Speaker 15: than us hard for me to fathom, because if you

807
00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:39,760
Speaker 15: look at our just our bodies in general, it's kind

808
00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:44,000
Speaker 15: of crazy how creative our creator is first, so that.

809
00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:45,200
Speaker 6: We can function the way we can, you know.

810
00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:48,240
Speaker 8: So I'm with you, Okay, Iron sharpens Iron. Lots of

811
00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:51,280
Speaker 8: T shirts out there today, So you're Iron. Who is

812
00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:54,239
Speaker 8: the iron that sharpens you on a regular basis around here?

813
00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:55,120
Speaker 6: A person?

814
00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:58,160
Speaker 3: A specific person, Yeah, like a fellow Texan Steve Nelson.

815
00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:01,520
Speaker 15: I said this to John when I got interviewed a

816
00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:02,360
Speaker 15: couple of days ago.

817
00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:04,920
Speaker 6: But I don't think I've been in here everybody.

818
00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:06,520
Speaker 15: I don't think I've been on a team where I'm

819
00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:09,400
Speaker 15: as close with the defensive backs as I am here.

820
00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:12,640
Speaker 15: It's just a special relationships. It's not offense defense. It's

821
00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:15,480
Speaker 15: really just team unity. And I get working in with

822
00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:17,680
Speaker 15: him almost after every practice, doing some type of release

823
00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:19,200
Speaker 15: and him being.

824
00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:21,720
Speaker 6: Whatever it is, nine years and eight nine, ten years

825
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:22,200
Speaker 6: in the league.

826
00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:24,520
Speaker 15: I just kind of looked to him to understand from

827
00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:26,920
Speaker 15: his perspective what he's looking at, how I can kind

828
00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:28,360
Speaker 15: of beat it, and we just kind of help each

829
00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:30,080
Speaker 15: other out. He also, I mean he reads, he really

830
00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:32,320
Speaker 15: the way of conversations, so he knows when you know,

831
00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:34,200
Speaker 15: maybe my confidence might be lack and there's something to

832
00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:36,520
Speaker 15: have those conversations with him, and he's just finds ways

833
00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:38,400
Speaker 15: like maybe like give me that extra juice, give me

834
00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:38,920
Speaker 15: that lift up.

835
00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:41,160
Speaker 6: And he knows that I can play ball in this league.

836
00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:43,680
Speaker 15: And so we're able to, you know, sharpen each other

837
00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:44,600
Speaker 15: in that way.

838
00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:46,080
Speaker 3: You've been around, you played a few places.

839
00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:49,000
Speaker 8: That's not common having a dB of about on a

840
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:49,760
Speaker 8: wide receiver that way.

841
00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:52,280
Speaker 3: It happens, but it's not common, right, Uh.

842
00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:53,959
Speaker 15: Yeah, I think a lot of guys get caught up

843
00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:58,280
Speaker 15: in themselves. You know, it's it's it's it's not the

844
00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:01,640
Speaker 15: same college ball type block room. You kind of these

845
00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:04,280
Speaker 15: locker rooms, you know how the NFL is guys a

846
00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:05,920
Speaker 15: lot of movement guys. You know, you might be in

847
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:07,479
Speaker 15: a locker room for a couple of weeks, and like

848
00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:10,359
Speaker 15: it's hard to form those relationships. Guys got families as

849
00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:12,560
Speaker 15: you get older. So for those older guys to take

850
00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:14,920
Speaker 15: time out of their day to you know, kind of

851
00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:17,600
Speaker 15: give you some wisdom, give you some feedback. Special something

852
00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:20,000
Speaker 15: I haven't seen here, and I think that just stems

853
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:23,839
Speaker 15: from kind of the culture that Demiqu's creating. So it's

854
00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:27,239
Speaker 15: really special. And I give them, I heckle them, We talk,

855
00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:29,640
Speaker 15: you know, we talked to each other, chirp at each

856
00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:31,120
Speaker 15: other or in practice or whatever.

857
00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:32,359
Speaker 6: But it's it's all love.

858
00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:35,239
Speaker 15: And you know, I'm super grateful to be in the

859
00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:37,280
Speaker 15: position I am, and specifically to be here in Houston.

860
00:34:37,719 --> 00:34:39,839
Speaker 8: Last thing, how excited are you guys to be able

861
00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:42,640
Speaker 8: to practice against the Dolphins practice against another team here

862
00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:43,279
Speaker 8: in the next few days.

863
00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:44,600
Speaker 3: Gona happen on Wednesday and Thursday.

864
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:46,480
Speaker 15: I think there's a lot of a lot of build

865
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:48,320
Speaker 15: up a lot of energy. We've been looking forward to

866
00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:49,920
Speaker 15: it right when we found out about it. I think

867
00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:51,680
Speaker 15: it's something that guys circled. I have a couple of

868
00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:54,200
Speaker 15: friends on the Dolphins as well, so it'll be fun

869
00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:56,719
Speaker 15: fun to see them and watch them compete as well.

870
00:34:56,920 --> 00:34:58,120
Speaker 15: I mean, I can I guess you can speak for

871
00:34:58,160 --> 00:34:59,359
Speaker 15: a US. I think a lot of guys are tired

872
00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:01,560
Speaker 15: of going against the the same guys every single day.

873
00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:03,080
Speaker 6: Our defensive backs, they kind of have.

874
00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:04,919
Speaker 15: They watched a lot of films, so when we show

875
00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:06,160
Speaker 15: them the same look at their day, it's hard to,

876
00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:08,160
Speaker 15: you know, keep them on their heels and show them

877
00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:10,319
Speaker 15: give them something different when they've already seen a lot

878
00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:12,160
Speaker 15: of the plays that we run. Especially this kid are

879
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:14,760
Speaker 15: here at five. He already told me, like Jalen Petree

880
00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:16,640
Speaker 15: just walked by. Yeah, So he told me on the

881
00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:17,959
Speaker 15: plane right after the games of the Gay, I already

882
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:19,440
Speaker 15: knew you're scoring because I knew a play was coming

883
00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:21,480
Speaker 15: and I was coming to you, and I was like, you.

884
00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:23,120
Speaker 6: Knows, that's how stuff is. Like, all right, now we

885
00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:23,839
Speaker 6: got a new team.

886
00:35:24,239 --> 00:35:26,359
Speaker 15: They don't know all our tricks, and so we're gonna

887
00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:27,560
Speaker 15: be able to come tack and.

888
00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:30,520
Speaker 8: Compete nice well. Alex Blochman, keep balling out, keep making plays.

889
00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:31,520
Speaker 8: Best of luck the rest of the way.

890
00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:32,960
Speaker 6: Man, thank you so much. I really appreciate it.

Speaker 1: Grenard at practice.

919
00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:53,560
Speaker 3: Do things kind of skip by?

920
00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:56,360
Speaker 8: Now you had a first preseason game, You've got a

921
00:36:56,400 --> 00:36:58,799
Speaker 8: few practices in here. Now you've got another team coming

922
00:36:58,840 --> 00:37:01,399
Speaker 8: in practice and you play them on Saturday. Career, take

923
00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:03,920
Speaker 8: me through this last week and a half. Change for

924
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:04,400
Speaker 8: you guys.

925
00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:06,239
Speaker 4: I think for us, the biggest kid is to not

926
00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:08,359
Speaker 4: change anything, you know, just continue to do what we do,

927
00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:09,759
Speaker 4: you know, working on our stuff, you know the things

928
00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:11,880
Speaker 4: that we're learning day in and day out, and it

929
00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:13,680
Speaker 4: doesn't change when we go when somebody else lines up

930
00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:15,520
Speaker 4: against us. You know, I think that it's a defense

931
00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:16,840
Speaker 4: in the offense on east side of where you have

932
00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:20,200
Speaker 4: to continue to just repetitively getting reps mentally physical reps.

933
00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:22,279
Speaker 4: Obviously new scheme and new guys coming in, but it's

934
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:24,239
Speaker 4: definitely exciting, you know, to see how I work with

935
00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:26,439
Speaker 4: transition to the you know, obviously against those team.

936
00:37:26,640 --> 00:37:27,920
Speaker 3: Yeah. You know you're an optimistic guy.

937
00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:30,120
Speaker 8: You've been optimistic heading into every season, but the optimism

938
00:37:30,120 --> 00:37:31,480
Speaker 8: was a little different this year, isn't it?

939
00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:32,399
Speaker 7: Yeah? One hundred percent.

940
00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:34,520
Speaker 4: I mean I just think overall, it's just it's time.

941
00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:35,520
Speaker 4: I think it's time for us.

942
00:37:35,560 --> 00:37:35,840
Speaker 7: Why not?

943
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:37,800
Speaker 4: Why not us, you know, to turn the things around

944
00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:40,360
Speaker 4: and to see our work actually get the results we

945
00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:41,040
Speaker 4: want for our work.

946
00:37:41,080 --> 00:37:41,920
Speaker 7: And I think that's anybody.

947
00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:42,960
Speaker 9: You don't play this game to lose.

948
00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:44,759
Speaker 4: So I think it's not just guys like myself, but

949
00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:46,399
Speaker 4: other guys on the team that you know, whether there's

950
00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:48,239
Speaker 4: one year deals you know, coming from other teams, or

951
00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:50,360
Speaker 4: most of your deals, whatever it is, the mission is,

952
00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:51,840
Speaker 4: it's always been the same. But then I just have

953
00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:53,399
Speaker 4: to execute better, and I think overall that's what we're

954
00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:53,759
Speaker 4: trying to do.

955
00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:56,719
Speaker 8: You were one of many around the quarterback constantly when

956
00:37:56,760 --> 00:37:58,600
Speaker 8: you were in the game the other night. What's different

957
00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:00,480
Speaker 8: about you this year as opposed to your first couple

958
00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:01,360
Speaker 8: of years in the league.

959
00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:04,399
Speaker 4: I would say majority slowed down, feel faster, stronger, No things,

960
00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:05,920
Speaker 4: just I've just seen a lot more now and I

961
00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:08,480
Speaker 4: think just overall understand who I am as a football player,

962
00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:08,919
Speaker 4: as a person.

963
00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:11,040
Speaker 7: And I don't switch anything up. I don't straight away

964
00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:11,640
Speaker 7: from things.

965
00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:13,399
Speaker 4: That I haven't done before, seen before, I don't train

966
00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:15,640
Speaker 4: with doing things, so overall, just continue to just try

967
00:38:15,640 --> 00:38:18,080
Speaker 4: to make those things the best things and try to

968
00:38:18,120 --> 00:38:19,840
Speaker 4: perfect those things that I do really good. And I

969
00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:22,400
Speaker 4: just think that's the testament of you know, our coaching staff,

970
00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:24,640
Speaker 4: you know our training in the off season, and just

971
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:27,799
Speaker 4: continuously just repeating these reps every single time to try

972
00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:29,120
Speaker 4: to make sure that we do up perfected in one

973
00:38:29,160 --> 00:38:29,720
Speaker 4: hundred percent.

974
00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:31,239
Speaker 8: Tell me about the scheme that you're part of. You

975
00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:32,680
Speaker 8: just brought up some of the coaches. Okay, you've got

976
00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:34,799
Speaker 8: a guy who's been here in Jacques Caesar, then you

977
00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:36,640
Speaker 8: got change at the top of the Meg Ryan's and

978
00:38:36,640 --> 00:38:38,720
Speaker 8: Matt Burke and all that. What's it like that mix

979
00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:41,279
Speaker 8: and what sort of scheme they have you in that

980
00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:44,360
Speaker 8: makes you so excited, so pumped up about what you

981
00:38:44,360 --> 00:38:44,960
Speaker 8: guys are cooking.

982
00:38:45,120 --> 00:38:46,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think they see a lot of guys that

983
00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:48,160
Speaker 4: are hungry, guys that can go if you just let

984
00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:50,120
Speaker 4: them go. And I think the system is made for that.

985
00:38:50,200 --> 00:38:52,360
Speaker 4: I think just lets guys go, especially when we're speaking

986
00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:54,759
Speaker 4: from upfront. We're attacked front, and I think overall it's

987
00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:56,480
Speaker 4: been that's you kind of can see that from where

988
00:38:56,480 --> 00:38:58,279
Speaker 4: Di Miko's been and obviously with Burke as well in

989
00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:00,359
Speaker 4: his past where he's been. But we're trying to bring

990
00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:01,879
Speaker 4: that thing here and I think overall, I think we're

991
00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:03,839
Speaker 4: doing that a really good job. It's like I said,

992
00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:05,439
Speaker 4: with more reps, you get better at it and get

993
00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:07,479
Speaker 4: you more comfortable at it. But I just think those

994
00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:10,120
Speaker 4: two just more physical and downhill. I love that about

995
00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:10,560
Speaker 4: the defense.

996
00:39:10,719 --> 00:39:11,719
Speaker 3: Do you believe in ghosts?

997
00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:13,880
Speaker 4: Do I believe in God? I believe in God, So

998
00:39:14,719 --> 00:39:17,359
Speaker 4: I say, I don't know. Man, that's a tough one.

999
00:39:17,400 --> 00:39:19,359
Speaker 4: I say, I'm not gonna say no because like I'll

1000
00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:20,880
Speaker 4: say no, I'm believing in one of them, show up

1001
00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:22,239
Speaker 4: at my daughter or you know what I'm saying. So

1002
00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:24,920
Speaker 4: I gotta I'm a table that answer for right now.

1003
00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:28,520
Speaker 8: Do you know anyone who believes in ghosts and it's

1004
00:39:28,560 --> 00:39:31,000
Speaker 8: told ghost stories like legit ghostory.

1005
00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:31,520
Speaker 6: Yeahah, I would say that.

1006
00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:34,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, I definitely had some superstitious friends and family in

1007
00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:36,239
Speaker 4: my past. I try not to get into it too

1008
00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:38,200
Speaker 4: much because it just it just plays. I don't I

1009
00:39:38,239 --> 00:39:39,960
Speaker 4: don't like to mess with that. But you know, at

1010
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:41,640
Speaker 4: the same time, I had nightmares as a kid when

1011
00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:42,839
Speaker 4: I was a younger one, so I kind of tried

1012
00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:45,319
Speaker 4: to stay away from the scary movies as much as

1013
00:39:45,320 --> 00:39:47,640
Speaker 4: I can. But I can say for most at least

1014
00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:50,120
Speaker 4: as a child mind, yes, I believe in ghosts.

1015
00:39:50,200 --> 00:39:51,799
Speaker 3: Scariest movie you ever saw as a child.

1016
00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:53,640
Speaker 4: Man, When I was a kid, I should not have

1017
00:39:53,680 --> 00:39:56,320
Speaker 4: been watching Jeepers, Creepers or Freddy Krueger when I was

1018
00:39:56,320 --> 00:39:58,239
Speaker 4: coming up. Man, it was it was. And even though

1019
00:39:58,239 --> 00:40:00,320
Speaker 4: I was watching the old Freddy Kruger, the du sinks

1020
00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:02,799
Speaker 4: into the bed and he's doing all the ripping his

1021
00:40:02,960 --> 00:40:04,760
Speaker 4: guts and all. I don't like all that. That was crazy.

1022
00:40:04,800 --> 00:40:05,080
Speaker 8: I got.

1023
00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:07,120
Speaker 4: I got introduced that to a young age, and I

1024
00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:09,279
Speaker 4: could definitely say that that that tip tops the cake

1025
00:40:09,320 --> 00:40:09,719
Speaker 4: on that one.

1026
00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:12,239
Speaker 8: Aside from you, which of your teammates is the most

1027
00:40:12,320 --> 00:40:13,680
Speaker 8: Freddy Krueger out there?

1028
00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:16,799
Speaker 4: Mm, who's just in a mindset to go at it?

1029
00:40:17,320 --> 00:40:18,319
Speaker 7: Gotta be Petrie man.

1030
00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:20,359
Speaker 4: Jalen Petrie is a I don't care him.

1031
00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:20,839
Speaker 6: It's a topic.

1032
00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:23,319
Speaker 4: It's on him and Jimmy, them boys back there. If

1033
00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:25,719
Speaker 4: y'all listen, first of all, y'all gotta make through the

1034
00:40:25,719 --> 00:40:28,000
Speaker 4: front seven, well really the front four first of all.

1035
00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:29,960
Speaker 4: But if y'all make it to them. I don't know

1036
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:32,480
Speaker 4: too many safeties in this league. Combo like them that's

1037
00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:35,680
Speaker 4: coming downhill, laying the wood like that and also picking

1038
00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:37,759
Speaker 4: stuff off like it's it's it's kind of crazy how

1039
00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:39,920
Speaker 4: them to how they practice every day. I mean to

1040
00:40:39,960 --> 00:40:42,120
Speaker 4: have those guys knowing that that's the last line of defense,

1041
00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:44,359
Speaker 4: it makes everything else ease up front. I think that's

1042
00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:46,239
Speaker 4: just man, that dude that those two dudes there is

1043
00:40:46,680 --> 00:40:47,560
Speaker 4: they're gonna.

1044
00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:47,920
Speaker 6: Be a problem.

1045
00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:50,440
Speaker 8: That's fun. I like hearing that. That's exciting for us

1046
00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:52,200
Speaker 8: as fans and people who cover the team. Okay, two

1047
00:40:52,200 --> 00:40:54,880
Speaker 8: more and we're done. You just brought up superstitions from people.

1048
00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:58,319
Speaker 8: You know, how superstitious are you? And what's one or

1049
00:40:58,360 --> 00:41:01,879
Speaker 8: two superstitions that you you always stick by and live

1050
00:41:01,960 --> 00:41:02,160
Speaker 8: by it?

1051
00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:04,080
Speaker 4: Okay, I don't split the pole.

1052
00:41:04,200 --> 00:41:04,759
Speaker 7: That's one thing.

1053
00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:06,560
Speaker 4: If it's two people walking I can't go on the

1054
00:41:06,560 --> 00:41:08,480
Speaker 4: opposite side of the pole if we're splitting it, so

1055
00:41:08,520 --> 00:41:12,120
Speaker 4: I walk on that side. Or number two, I don't

1056
00:41:12,160 --> 00:41:13,040
Speaker 4: cross on the ladders.

1057
00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:14,120
Speaker 7: I don't do all that stuff.

1058
00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:15,240
Speaker 3: That's natural.

1059
00:41:15,239 --> 00:41:16,719
Speaker 8: Nobody knows that, you know what I'm saying, Like, I

1060
00:41:16,800 --> 00:41:19,640
Speaker 8: want to be a psychopath exactly.

1061
00:41:19,160 --> 00:41:21,400
Speaker 4: So those I'm a guy I used to be like

1062
00:41:21,680 --> 00:41:23,200
Speaker 4: when I walk on the field, I don't step on

1063
00:41:23,200 --> 00:41:25,319
Speaker 4: the white line. I always cross the white line, you know,

1064
00:41:25,640 --> 00:41:27,480
Speaker 4: cross my heart, you know, give my thanks to God.

1065
00:41:27,840 --> 00:41:29,600
Speaker 4: But yeah, it's a little small stuff. It's like certain

1066
00:41:29,640 --> 00:41:31,200
Speaker 4: things like if I can siniously do and it's been

1067
00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:34,040
Speaker 4: helping me whatever whatever is that, then I usually stick

1068
00:41:34,080 --> 00:41:34,479
Speaker 4: to it.

1069
00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:35,120
Speaker 3: Good stuff.

1070
00:41:35,120 --> 00:41:38,240
Speaker 8: Okay, last one, we see the iron sharpens iron t shirts.

1071
00:41:38,239 --> 00:41:40,200
Speaker 8: It's a mantra you guys are living by. It's very

1072
00:41:40,320 --> 00:41:44,920
Speaker 8: very important. What Texans player is the iron that sharpens you?

1073
00:41:45,040 --> 00:41:47,479
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, it gotta be alt if let me tumps.

1074
00:41:47,520 --> 00:41:49,799
Speaker 4: If it ain't tunsl it's tight as any of the

1075
00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:52,160
Speaker 4: old line. But honestly, I mean, it's one thing about

1076
00:41:52,239 --> 00:41:53,880
Speaker 4: when we all understand what we're trying to achieve here,

1077
00:41:53,920 --> 00:41:55,600
Speaker 4: and I think that we all got the same mindset

1078
00:41:55,600 --> 00:41:57,400
Speaker 4: and we understand that what it takes of it and

1079
00:41:57,440 --> 00:41:59,400
Speaker 4: what it requires of us, whether we got to you know,

1080
00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:01,719
Speaker 4: get to it or practice. Even though we can be

1081
00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:04,000
Speaker 4: cool in the locker room, but at that same time,

1082
00:42:04,040 --> 00:42:05,600
Speaker 4: when it's signed to lock in, we got to go

1083
00:42:05,600 --> 00:42:07,200
Speaker 4: at it. And it's no feelings at it. I mean,

1084
00:42:07,200 --> 00:42:09,279
Speaker 4: it's none personal. We just know it's business and it's

1085
00:42:09,280 --> 00:42:11,319
Speaker 4: got to work, gotta get done. So you know, they

1086
00:42:11,320 --> 00:42:13,120
Speaker 4: may get pissed off, we get pissed off, but it's

1087
00:42:13,120 --> 00:42:14,319
Speaker 4: all love at end of the day. But we also

1088
00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:16,239
Speaker 4: understand we're trying to get to which makes it that
