00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:53,479

00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:56,120
Speaker 1: power to the building all turned turned off as well,

18
00:00:56,200 --> 00:01:00,240

Speaker 1: if you will, for Texans All Access. Now. Drew and

20
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:05,480
Speaker 1: I did this back and I think it was late

21
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 1: February early March, and we talked about the we we're

22
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 1: thinking about in the lab, one of the things we

23
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 1: can do, and we had either I think it was

24
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:16,480
Speaker 1: a Tweeter had sent us to suggestion, Hey, what if

25
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:21,319
Speaker 1: you guys picked an ultimate eleven of NFL. You're ultimate

26
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 1: eleven NFL offense and defense of players that went to

27
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 1: Texas schools. We thought it was brilliant, but I was

28
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:31,959
Speaker 1: absolutely just flat out brilliant. Let's let's do that. So

29
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 1: let's get our offense done right here? Drew as the

30
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:40,120
Speaker 1: first pick, my first pick. Oh, you get to go first, Yeah,

31
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:42,320
Speaker 1: because you picked first last week. Alright, go ahead, My

32
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 1: first pick from Southern Methodist University. In the Pro Football

33
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame, Vince Lombardi said, he's the greatest player

34
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 1: I've ever coached. It's actually a right tackle, not a

35
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 1: left tackle. But I'm choosing Forrest Greg oh Man. You

36
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:00,560
Speaker 1: go ahead and do it to me. I lived my

37
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 1: first eleven years in my life from Wisconsin. I grew

38
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 1: up learning all about the sixty Packers. So I I

39
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 1: that's it. That was It's very high up on my board.

40
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 1: I'm gonna build my team the same way. But he's

41
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 1: not a Hall of Famer. Okay, I'm not totally sure

42
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 1: why not. Okay, but he's one of the best left

43
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 1: tackles in the game. He went to seven Pro Bowls

44
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 1: from Texas A and m I'm gonna take Richmond Webb

45
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:28,359
Speaker 1: and he will play left tackle from me. That stings.

46
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:32,520
Speaker 1: He was he was third overall on my draft board,

47
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 1: entire draft board. That's pretty good. So we so we

48
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 1: both choosing to build with our lines right off the bat,

49
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:43,240
Speaker 1: which I sort of like that. My right side is

50
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 1: pretty good there with worst Greg, I want to make

51
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:48,360
Speaker 1: sure my left side is pretty good too. So I'm

52
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 1: gonna go with Gene Upshaw Hall of Famer for the

53
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 1: Oakland Raiders. Okay, and he played at Texas A and

54
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:59,240
Speaker 1: I Texas A and I. Interestingly that's three players now, Yeah,

55
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 1: has has had quite a history there. Yeah, because you

56
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:05,520
Speaker 1: got your well done, John Randall, he was great. I mean,

57
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 1: but gin Off Shaw is gonna play left guard for me? Okay,

58
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 1: seeing that kind of looking at my board and seeing

59
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 1: the way things have we we've gone offensive line and

60
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:20,639
Speaker 1: you've gone Forest Gregg and you've gone gen up Shaw.

61
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 1: So you're yeah, that's that's pretty salty. Now, Richard Webb

62
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 1: should be. I'm with you. I'm not totally sure why

63
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 1: he's not at that point, but I'm a type of

64
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:32,679
Speaker 1: guy that in the nineties was as good a guard

65
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 1: as there was in the league he played in North Texas.

66
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 1: Good choice. Brian Waters, Brian Waters, Kansas City chief, good

67
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 1: left guard, good player. We are going at this in

68
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 1: a very Chris Ballard like style. This is Chris Ballard esque.

69
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 1: I mean going after of course Chris Ballard from Texas City,

70
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 1: so he'd be very proud of us. But we are

71
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 1: going to solidify our lines, and so you go, Forrest,

72
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 1: Greg up Shaw, I go, Richard Webb and Brian Waters.

73
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 1: Well done. All right, your pick, and now we don't

74
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 1: have to go offensive line first. It's just how we

75
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 1: chose to go that way to start. I'm gonna do

76
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 1: it because I don't want. I can see we're already

77
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 1: gonna get hammered because of this. Uh my choes Richmond,

78
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 1: webe rural Campbell. There's a lot of people out there

79
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 1: that are gonna be saying that, but it's all about

80
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 1: and this is what this is what I think people

81
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 1: that won't listen to the podcast will go. They'll they'll

82
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 1: maybe think that the whole point is all about not

83
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:31,480
Speaker 1: so much priority. But you have a glut of running backs.

84
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 1: You can close your eyes and Stevie Wonder could pick

85
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 1: one of these running backs. Yeah, he could pick any

86
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 1: of these guys. So from that standpoint, the running backs

87
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:41,920
Speaker 1: for me will be I will wait it out as

88
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:45,040
Speaker 1: long as I as I humanly possible before I take

89
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,359
Speaker 1: a running back in this thing. I will not because

90
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 1: I love Earl Campbell and I love the elerson. I'm

91
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:52,480
Speaker 1: gonna take Earl Campbell third because you know what, like

92
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:56,039
Speaker 1: the I think the elite offensive linemen are gone now,

93
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:59,360
Speaker 1: I think the four elite offensive linemen are gone. Now

94
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:01,720
Speaker 1: there's good one left, but not the elite ones. Yeah,

95
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,360
Speaker 1: I think those were the four elite. They're all they're

96
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 1: all chosen. Somebody take a guy in Earl Campbell. Who

97
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 1: do we need to really say much more? Not really,

98
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:12,920
Speaker 1: but I wanted to take him. So there we go.

99
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 1: All right, m you're going running back. I'm going to

100
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 1: the position that we probably we said early on it's thin,

101
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:24,839
Speaker 1: so we had to get the quarterback early on, and

102
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 1: I wanted to have the choice of quarterbacks. And when

103
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:31,119
Speaker 1: you think about the quarterbacks, it's not a long list.

104
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 1: It really is. That's the yeah, that an offensive line

105
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 1: are pretty elite players. Yeah, it's really shocking to me.

106
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:41,840
Speaker 1: And they used to ask Sammy BA. Sammy Ball used

107
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 1: to ask his coaches Sammy hit him in the eye

108
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 1: and used to say which eye. One of those accurate

109
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 1: quarterbacks ever. Hall of Famer played with the Redskins, went

110
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 1: to TCU. He was an orinary son of a b

111
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:54,360
Speaker 1: But Sammy Ball is gonna end up being my quarterback.

112
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 1: And here's the other thing. Sammy Ball was in a

113
00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:01,359
Speaker 1: he was he was an instrumental piece in moving the

114
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 1: forward pass ahead. But he was a whale of an athlete.

115
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:05,799
Speaker 1: He had a year I believe where he had eleven

116
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 1: or twelve interceptions. Great punter as well, Yes, punter, dB quarterback.

117
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 1: I could do a lot of stuff with Sammy Boss.

118
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 1: I feel good about that. Good choice. He was the

119
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:17,039
Speaker 1: top quarterback on my board. And now you can wait

120
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 1: for a quarterbacks. I'm gonna wait because I have a

121
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 1: guy that I'm gonna go with really high there. Um,

122
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:26,720
Speaker 1: I have not addressed the wide receiver position, and I'm

123
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:33,040
Speaker 1: gonna go with Hall of Famer and SMU Mustang, Ray Berry.

124
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:37,800
Speaker 1: He and John Unitis made sweet music. He had fifties

125
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 1: and sixties for the Baltimore Colts. I'm gonna go with

126
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 1: Ray Berry, Yes, Yeah, scholarly, scholarly guy. Yeah. Um, I

127
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:52,120
Speaker 1: thought about going wide receiver here I did. But here's

128
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 1: another position that was was sort of thin. Was a

129
00:06:56,400 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 1: tight end. Oh, tight end was very that's gossip. It's

130
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:02,920
Speaker 1: the thinnest of all of these. We were complaining about

131
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:06,719
Speaker 1: quarterbacks and offensive line. Yeah, tight end is the thinnest. Yeah,

132
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 1: I think it's very. In fact, that's the position I'm

133
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 1: probably going up. I'm probably gonna stay away from uh

134
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 1: for a little bit because there are a couple of them,

135
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:16,160
Speaker 1: and we're only gonna draft one of them listally dropt

136
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 1: both and make one of FlexE. So at this point,

137
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take a guy from your alma mater who

138
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 1: I still say today is the most naturally gifted running

139
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 1: back I have ever seen in my life, and that's

140
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 1: Eric Dickerson. The choice Hall of Famer had a two

141
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 1: thousand yards season when he retired. I believe he was

142
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 1: what second all time? Oh, he was a second all time? Yeah,

143
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 1: and therever been a few of the past. But if

144
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 1: I had if I had one ball game to win

145
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 1: and I needed one running back. Eric Dickerson would be one.

146
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 1: I would be three choices would be Barry Standers would

147
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 1: be Eric Dickerson would be Gil Says would be one

148
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 1: of those three Cowboys. Fans can be upset about him

149
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 1: and Smith love him Smith, but I would take Eric Dickerson.

150
00:07:56,000 --> 00:08:00,559
Speaker 1: Naturally gifted, unbelievable player, could do a lot offerent things

151
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 1: on the field, but he was asked just to run

152
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 1: the football. So I take Eric Dickerson. You have Roll

153
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 1: Campbey Eric Dickerson, and it's your pick in the fifth round.

154
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:09,880
Speaker 1: Not losing there. You know what, I'm gonna go kind

155
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 1: of off script here, and I'm gonna away from your board.

156
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 1: No I'm not. I'm sticking with my board. I'm gonna

157
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 1: round out my wide receiving corps, and I'm gonna go

158
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 1: with a guy who's not in the Hall of Fame.

159
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 1: I don't go back, and I almost just picked him.

160
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 1: I know, I know what you're doing. I'm gonna go

161
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 1: with the guy who's not even five years into his career.

162
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 1: I'm little Mike Evans, Texas a and M wide receiver

163
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:33,679
Speaker 1: to have a Bay buccaneer deep play, deep throat. That's

164
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 1: what I'm going with a huge upset. Yeah, I love it.

165
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 1: I love it, I love it, love it. Let's think

166
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 1: about that. You got fantastic deep with him, You got

167
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:46,440
Speaker 1: over the middle on the sidelines with Ray Berry. That's

168
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 1: what I'm doing with I think, and I think if

169
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 1: you look at the stats he's putting up right now,

170
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 1: good chances and can't what's he's on track? His numbers

171
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 1: are extraordinary and it's funny. I remember when Mike was

172
00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 1: coming out in a draft, in the twenty fourteen draft,

173
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:01,560
Speaker 1: and he was there were Johnny and Jevon and all

174
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:03,719
Speaker 1: those guys, And I remember when I first put out

175
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:05,840
Speaker 1: my top one hundred, I had Mike Evans at six

176
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:08,640
Speaker 1: and people were like, what nothing, you could have put it?

177
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 1: You could put him hire. I know I had him

178
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:13,120
Speaker 1: at sitting my initial I got skewered. I got him

179
00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:17,679
Speaker 1: in a third round, the second round like just watch,

180
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:19,559
Speaker 1: and he went to the combining round like four four,

181
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:22,959
Speaker 1: like six six. Yeah, it's like, get on my train, people.

182
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 1: Mike Evans is a he's a dude. Absolutely dude. See,

183
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 1: I thought you were gonna go in one other direction,

184
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 1: and you've got your wide receivers. You could maybe use

185
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 1: this guy as a flex, but I'm gonna add a

186
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 1: wide receiver at this point, and he coaches for the

187
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:41,840
Speaker 1: Houston Texas and I feel like there's a lot I

188
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 1: can do with mister West Welker's choice and the slot

189
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:48,160
Speaker 1: Sammy Ball throwing the football. I'm taking West Welker, great

190
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 1: choice out of Texas Tech. Now. I believe all the

191
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:55,600
Speaker 1: guys on my list thus far our Texans. Originally he's

192
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 1: from Oklahoma, but he ended up at Texas Tech and

193
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:01,079
Speaker 1: so that fits right into our plans. I'll take West Welker.

194
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:03,680
Speaker 1: I still got another receiver. BOFE feel good about Welker

195
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:05,720
Speaker 1: because I put him a lot different places. Tommy McVeigh

196
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 1: is kind of like the chief of staff, chief of

197
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 1: football operations for Texas Tech. Long time he was there

198
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:13,600
Speaker 1: under Leech and when he had a he had a

199
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:17,040
Speaker 1: buddy that knew of Welker from because Tommy coach in

200
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 1: Kansas in Oklahoma coming up in high school, and he

201
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 1: had an old buddy that was like, hey, listen, there's

202
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 1: this kid out of Oklahoma City that can play and

203
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 1: if nothing else, at the very least he can kick

204
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:30,840
Speaker 1: for you. Tech on National Signing Day, Leeches first year

205
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:33,439
Speaker 1: they signed, they go in thinking they've got their twenty

206
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:36,079
Speaker 1: five or however many and one guy pulled out in

207
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:37,720
Speaker 1: the last minute, so they had an open slot at

208
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 1: the end of signing day and Leech was like, what

209
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:42,120
Speaker 1: are we gonna sue? We're gonna get McVay said, check

210
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 1: out this kid, Welker. Leech is like, yeah, he's too short.

211
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:48,199
Speaker 1: So they had him out the next weekend because signing

212
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 1: gays on a Wednesday. He visited, he signed, and even

213
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:54,680
Speaker 1: before they signed him, Leech's like, I don't know. And

214
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 1: Tommy McVay famously said, if nothing else, Wes Welker can

215
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 1: kick for us. If thing else for us, Wes Welker

216
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 1: came to campus. After the first week there, Cliff Kingsbury

217
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 1: said that guy's the best player on the team, best

218
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 1: player out of the Classiculus and he never kicked a

219
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:14,960
Speaker 1: single time. It kicks. Okay, my sixth pick. I gotta

220
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 1: go back to the line and I gotta get better

221
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:22,079
Speaker 1: there um and the pickings are kind of getting slim here,

222
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:23,679
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna go. The guy had a pretty long

223
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:27,280
Speaker 1: career in the NFL. He bounced around in some spots,

224
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:29,960
Speaker 1: but his best spot was at right guard. I'm gonna

225
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:33,840
Speaker 1: go with Leonard Davis, Oh, University of Texas, Phoenix Cardinal

226
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:35,559
Speaker 1: play for the Cowboys a little bit. I'm gonna go

227
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:40,840
Speaker 1: with him right guard, Leonard Davis. Okay, because left tackle

228
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:43,440
Speaker 1: has been taken. Right tackle has been taken. Excuse me,

229
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:46,240
Speaker 1: the left tackle has been taken by you? Yeah, yeah, yeah,

230
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:49,440
Speaker 1: I got Richard Webb, Brian Waters. That's uh. I could

231
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 1: play Waters on either side, So I'm playing on the

232
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 1: left side, So I just let a fight on my

233
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:57,000
Speaker 1: left side. Um, you're you're right. It does, it does

234
00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 1: get a little it does get a little slim. Wait,

235
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:00,320
Speaker 1: do you hear some of the guys as I have

236
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:06,440
Speaker 1: in mind from my offensive line at that point? Um? Okay,

237
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:08,840
Speaker 1: so you just took Leonard Davis right guard? All right?

238
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 1: Not bad? Not bad? All right. I think I'm gonna

239
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 1: go back to the offensive line as well, and I'm

240
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:20,120
Speaker 1: gonna take a guy that played center, but he also

241
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 1: played linebacker too, and you could go either way. You

242
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:25,720
Speaker 1: actually made the Pro Bowl, I believe, at both positions,

243
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:27,880
Speaker 1: but mainly he made him at center. Played for the

244
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 1: Chiefs in the AFL, played Texas Tech I'm gonna take EJ.

245
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 1: Holliw nic my center. EJ. Hollis funny, got a lot

246
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 1: of good stories. So I'm a center because the center

247
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 1: pickings are not it's not plentiful. Actually yeah, I don't

248
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:45,839
Speaker 1: know if I love that, because there's one other player

249
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:48,480
Speaker 1: I had as a center that's in the Hall of Fame,

250
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 1: but he made it more as a linebacker than as

251
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:53,760
Speaker 1: a center. It's interesting. That's going on a way back

252
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:56,079
Speaker 1: machine right there. But all right, Eja Hollives is my center.

253
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:58,960
Speaker 1: I'm good. EJ. Hallibrian Waters, Richard Webb, I'm tough. I

254
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 1: know I'm tough upfront. I run up all Eric Dickerson.

255
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:03,840
Speaker 1: I think they'll pass tech Well, I got two pieces.

256
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 1: I feel good. All Right, you're paying. I want a guy.

257
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:12,760
Speaker 1: I think it is the best flex option available. He

258
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:15,040
Speaker 1: can play running back, he can play receiver. He can

259
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 1: also return kicks for me. And he's the first player

260
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:21,839
Speaker 1: that I really really fell in love with watching. And

261
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with Eric Metcalf play for the Browns

262
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 1: for a long time, and I know I probably should

263
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:28,040
Speaker 1: go with I'm not gonna say, because you'll probably take

264
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 1: one of them to your flex, which I'm gonna go

265
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 1: with Eric Metcalf because of all he could do. I

266
00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:34,520
Speaker 1: think he could have been West Welker before Wes Welker. Yeah,

267
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:36,000
Speaker 1: I think they could have used him a little bit

268
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 1: better in the pros. But he's my flex. All right.

269
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:42,480
Speaker 1: You went with a flex before taking your second running back.

270
00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:44,960
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with Oh, really take one running back.

271
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 1: Oh that's right. You can take two running backs. One

272
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 1: of them would be your flex. O. That's I'm putting

273
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:53,320
Speaker 1: Ladaniel Thomass. That's why I decided against taking taking him

274
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:55,079
Speaker 1: as my flex. I kind of feel like I stumbled

275
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:57,440
Speaker 1: into that one. I forgot. I was thinking two running backs.

276
00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:00,200
Speaker 1: I'm like, wow, I give my second one here. So yeah,

277
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:06,880
Speaker 1: l T. Ladinian Thomlinson is along with Eric Dickerson, who man,

278
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:10,280
Speaker 1: goodness six live. I had one of their options I

279
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:12,920
Speaker 1: was thinking about for my flex. But thankful ydn't picking

280
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 1: because I would have been I completely forgot. Man. Okay,

281
00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:18,720
Speaker 1: so our running backs and our flexes are off the board.

282
00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 1: Ye we took Earl Campbell, Eric Dickerson, Ladanian Thomlinson. True,

283
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:29,200
Speaker 1: and I have just gotten started with our ultimate eleven

284
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:35,080
Speaker 1: offense of NFL players that went to Texas Universities and

285
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:37,280
Speaker 1: you just heard the running backs we selected. Wow, we

286
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:41,440
Speaker 1: got plenty more for you, including mister Irrelevant in this

287
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 1: offensive draft, a Hall of Fame wide receiver. Yeah, that

288
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 1: was my final pick. We'll get to that next right

289
00:14:47,240 --> 00:15:07,960
Speaker 1: here in Texans All Access. What's up, everybody? Welcome back

290
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:13,160

291
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:18,760
Speaker 1: Now tonight, we are celebrating NFL players that have played

292
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:22,920
Speaker 1: at Texas Universities. Drew and I Drew Doherty and I

293
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 1: and I am your host, John Harris Football, anous and

294
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 1: silent reporter for your Houston Texans. Drew and I do

295
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:30,120
Speaker 1: a podcast called in the Lab. You can get that

296
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:33,840
Speaker 1: on iTunes, Stitcher, tune in, however you get your podcasts.

297
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:37,160
Speaker 1: That's what that's where you can find it. We had

298
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:39,320
Speaker 1: a someone who tweeted us and said, hey, this would

299
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 1: be a good idea friend the Lab. So we decided

300
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 1: to do it. And the AULTO eleven concept is one

301
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:45,320
Speaker 1: and I came up with a long long time ago.

302
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:47,280
Speaker 1: I did a I think it was two thousand and eight.

303
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:50,120
Speaker 1: I did this, and I've always been enamored with mixing

304
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:53,320
Speaker 1: and matching of different eras of different teams, et cetera, drafts,

305
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 1: all those kind of things. I've always been enamored with that.

306
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 1: And I was growing up my friends in Ilands, Zeroline,

307
00:15:57,600 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 1: a guy that you hear here in the Houston area.

308
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 1: We grew up together and we were always draft We

309
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:06,520
Speaker 1: never played games like board games, strata matic games with

310
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:09,360
Speaker 1: our normal teams. We always draft teams. And so I

311
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:10,880
Speaker 1: was always into that, And so I came up with

312
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:13,400
Speaker 1: this thought a long time ago, Man, what if I

313
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 1: did this thing called ultimate eleven, like came up with

314
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 1: the eleven players of a particular team that crossed eras.

315
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 1: And kind of the first one that made me think

316
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 1: of this was the University of Miami. I thought, man,

317
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:24,080
Speaker 1: what would be the ultimate eleven of the University of

318
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:28,080
Speaker 1: Miami in the eighties, like Vinnie Testaverdi or Jim Kellyott quarterback,

319
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:30,720
Speaker 1: Michael Irvin at wide receiver. And I just kind of

320
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:33,040
Speaker 1: go in second game of the concept. And so we've

321
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:36,520
Speaker 1: kind of built that concept into various things, and this

322
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:38,880
Speaker 1: was one of them. In the lab, we came up

323
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:43,680
Speaker 1: with our ultimate eleven players of on offense for each

324
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:47,080
Speaker 1: of us that played at Texas Universities. And we just

325
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:50,240
Speaker 1: ping pong back and forth the picks, and we just

326
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:54,360
Speaker 1: finished up taking all of our running backs Earl Campbell, Ladanian, Thomlinson,

327
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:58,000
Speaker 1: Eric Dickerson. Those are the running backs that we had

328
00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:01,680
Speaker 1: off the board. That's pretty amazing. So in this segment

329
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:06,160
Speaker 1: we finish up our offensive draft, including mister Irrelevant, who

330
00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:08,680
Speaker 1: was a Hall of Fame wide receiver and at one

331
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:12,359
Speaker 1: point was the most productive receiver in NFL history, that

332
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:16,679
Speaker 1: is until Charlie Joyner and Jerry Rice came around. But

333
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:18,600
Speaker 1: that is mister Irrelevant in this draft. That shows you

334
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:21,440
Speaker 1: how great the talent has Ben from Texas University. So

335
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:27,280
Speaker 1: let's kick it off Withdrew finally selecting his quarterback. I'm

336
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:30,879
Speaker 1: gonna quit screwing around. I'll take my quarterback, all right.

337
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:33,720
Speaker 1: I'm going with Bobby Lane. I think it comes down

338
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:35,680
Speaker 1: to at this point, with Sammy Ball off the board,

339
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:38,280
Speaker 1: that was rightly, justifiably so the first choice. He was

340
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:40,800
Speaker 1: fourth overall on my entire draft board, but you took him.

341
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:42,880
Speaker 1: I think comes down after at that point Bobby Lane

342
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:45,879
Speaker 1: and Don Meredith as your two quarterbacks. But Bobby Lane's

343
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:49,120
Speaker 1: a winner in the NFL. He won at Texas kind

344
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:50,960
Speaker 1: of You know, it was a different game when he

345
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 1: was playing than it is now. But I'm taking Bobby Lane,

346
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:54,440
Speaker 1: and I don't feel bad about I like the team

347
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:59,120
Speaker 1: get the tight end. Okay. I thought about the many

348
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:02,679
Speaker 1: ways I could go with this, but in University of Houston,

349
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:06,439
Speaker 1: we haven't had too much representation on this list. But

350
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:08,520
Speaker 1: there's a four time Pro Bowl tight end I played

351
00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 1: for Denver Broncos. My name is Riley Odoms, Okay, and

352
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:13,640
Speaker 1: so he's gonna end up being my tight end. Really,

353
00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:16,280
Speaker 1: I had two guys that was it, and I figured

354
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:19,159
Speaker 1: I was getting one of the other. And when I

355
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:20,640
Speaker 1: looked at it, Odams has been in the Pro Bowl

356
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:23,080
Speaker 1: four times without man, that's a pretty in the eighties,

357
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:25,000
Speaker 1: that's a pretty healthy accomplishment. So I'm gonna go with

358
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:29,919
Speaker 1: Riley Odoms as my tight end. One of John Elway's targets.

359
00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:33,119
Speaker 1: He was also no going back. I think Rdy Odams

360
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:34,760
Speaker 1: goes all the way back to uh not, why did

361
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:37,240
Speaker 1: you say, John Elway? I think Rydy Odams goes back

362
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 1: to the Craig Morton days. I believe so he may

363
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:42,360
Speaker 1: have been around long enough to have played with both

364
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:45,119
Speaker 1: of them. If I remember correctly. So there you go.

365
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:48,000
Speaker 1: Ridy Odams is my tight end. So we take a look.

366
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:51,520
Speaker 1: You have, you have your quarterback, you have your running back,

367
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 1: you have your two wide receivers and your flex. You

368
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:58,679
Speaker 1: need a tight end and two more linemen. Yes, and

369
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:01,920
Speaker 1: so I'm gonna choose my left tackle. I'm gonna go

370
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:09,879
Speaker 1: with Charlie Bradshaw. So Charlie Bradshaw from Baylor had a

371
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:12,200
Speaker 1: nice career, played a while in the NFL. I mean,

372
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:15,360
Speaker 1: think about that, very slim pick. I guess I could

373
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:17,879
Speaker 1: go with Jerry Sizemore, but he was a right tackle,

374
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 1: you know. And we're kind of staying true to form

375
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:22,280
Speaker 1: here and we're going with left tackle. So I'm gonna

376
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:25,760
Speaker 1: go Charlie Bradshaw from Baylor as your left tackle. Yeah,

377
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:29,560
Speaker 1: all right. So on my list, I have quarterback running back,

378
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:33,920
Speaker 1: I have one wide receiver. I have sorry quarterback running back.

379
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:36,520
Speaker 1: I have one wide receiver. I have one flex side

380
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:38,159
Speaker 1: of my tight end. So I have one wide receiver

381
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 1: I gotta get and then I gotta get the right

382
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:43,119
Speaker 1: side of my line. So on the right side of

383
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:45,280
Speaker 1: my line. And I didn't look at left tackle or

384
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:48,960
Speaker 1: right tackle, but I believe he played both from Texas Southern.

385
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:54,240
Speaker 1: He's eight time pro bowler in the AFL. Protected Joe Namath.

386
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:56,639
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get Winston Hill to protect Sammy Ball. That

387
00:19:56,720 --> 00:20:02,160
Speaker 1: was a good choice. That was a good choice. So

388
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:06,680
Speaker 1: I've got an M North, Texas TCU, SMU, Texas Tech,

389
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:11,400
Speaker 1: Texas Tech, TCU Houston, and Texas Southern represented on my list.

390
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:14,200
Speaker 1: So I've got left to go. I've got a guard

391
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:19,359
Speaker 1: and then I've got tight ends. Tight End is so

392
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:23,000
Speaker 1: tricky here, um and I don't know if these guys

393
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:28,040
Speaker 1: are really ends, like split ends or tight ends. But

394
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:31,480
Speaker 1: it's down to Billy Houghton from Rice who went to

395
00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:34,919
Speaker 1: four Pro Bowlers. At sixty one touchdown catches, he averaged

396
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:38,480
Speaker 1: seventeen yards of catch. Probably more of a split end. Yeah,

397
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 1: Dave Parks from Texas Tech was a first overall selection

398
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:44,200
Speaker 1: way back when he did play tight end. For sure,

399
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:48,199
Speaker 1: you give me Billy Houghton or is that too much

400
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:50,960
Speaker 1: of a stretch split end? I mean I was kind

401
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:54,880
Speaker 1: of hard on some of your your ideas. You sure, yeah,

402
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:57,080
Speaker 1: take it all right, because I need some I need

403
00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:59,040
Speaker 1: a rice out on my team, you know. Yeah, that

404
00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:01,280
Speaker 1: bad Billy Houghton. I'll get it to you they're rowing

405
00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:03,640
Speaker 1: old school. Not many people this guy, but I'm gonna

406
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:05,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna line him up. He'll be kind of like

407
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 1: a full another flex guy. Looking at my board, I

408
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:10,920
Speaker 1: really have I have two players I could go to

409
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:16,639
Speaker 1: this point. One he played at Howard Payne, which are

410
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:19,520
Speaker 1: you're thinking about Howard Payne. Not too many people know

411
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:21,760
Speaker 1: Howard pain In fact, as you look at Howard Paint,

412
00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:26,240
Speaker 1: only thirteen players have ever played in the NFL from

413
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:28,880
Speaker 1: Howard Paynes out there the big country right like sant Angelo.

414
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 1: But one of them that did played guard and he

415
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:35,879
Speaker 1: made the Pro Bowl six times at guard. Who is

416
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:38,280
Speaker 1: that John? And he played in the seventies for the

417
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:40,359
Speaker 1: Packers and the Cardinals. He made him off for the Cardinals.

418
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:44,200
Speaker 1: And that's Ken Gray put at Howard Payne. And so

419
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:46,280
Speaker 1: that leaves me with one wide receiver, and I have

420
00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:49,119
Speaker 1: my pick of the literate wide receivers. And so I

421
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:55,520
Speaker 1: need a center again, somewhat somewhat slim pickings. There you

422
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:57,680
Speaker 1: got DJ holl Up, kind of the most famous in centers.

423
00:21:57,680 --> 00:21:59,840
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with the guy. I think I got

424
00:21:59,920 --> 00:22:01,960
Speaker 1: a smart offense. I've got I've got a lot of

425
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:04,200
Speaker 1: coaches on my offense, guys who would wind up becoming coaches.

426
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:06,359
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna add one. It's center, and Guy Morris

427
00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 1: he's gonna be my center. Played but fifteen years in

428
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:14,080
Speaker 1: the NFL for a while, he is gonna be my

429
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:20,960
Speaker 1: center from TCU. So Guy Morris joins Raymond Barry, he

430
00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:24,280
Speaker 1: joins Forced Greig. Those guys all coach. Gene Upshaw led

431
00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:26,480
Speaker 1: the players union, and see a lot of leadership on

432
00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:30,280
Speaker 1: this team. And my offense is done. My offense is finished.

433
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:32,479
Speaker 1: It is well recap that in a second. I think

434
00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:34,359
Speaker 1: I know who you're going with a wide receiver. Well,

435
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:36,440
Speaker 1: I don't want for him to be mister irrelevant, because

436
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:39,040
Speaker 1: he certainly is not. No. No. But when you can

437
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:41,800
Speaker 1: pick a Hall of Famer as mister irrelevant, you're gonna

438
00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:46,040
Speaker 1: do it. Yep played at Texas Western, which turned into UTEP,

439
00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 1: and I don't know that he was really a great

440
00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 1: college player. In fact, he may not have been a

441
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:52,119
Speaker 1: great NFL player until he got an opportunity to go

442
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:55,679
Speaker 1: to the AFL and play with Joe Namath, and then

443
00:22:56,080 --> 00:23:01,840
Speaker 1: he was the go to superstar. Yep or for Joe

444
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 1: Namath six hundred and thirty three receptions, in fifteen seasons

445
00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:08,760
Speaker 1: eleven thousand, eight hundred and thirty four receiving yards. That

446
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:13,320
Speaker 1: would be Don Maynard, who choses the book on My

447
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:18,000
Speaker 1: on my team right there. This obviously was such a

448
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:21,320
Speaker 1: fun exercise actually for both of us. And we're gonna

449
00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:24,400
Speaker 1: have our defense in our following segment. But I thought

450
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:27,640
Speaker 1: a couple of things stood out. Number One, for as

451
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:30,400
Speaker 1: great as this state is when it comes to high

452
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:35,520
Speaker 1: school football and college football, sort of missed a boat

453
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:38,800
Speaker 1: on quarterbacks. Which is weird because there was a time

454
00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:41,639
Speaker 1: when I remember going through this, I think it was

455
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:46,359
Speaker 1: two thousand and twelve. There was two twelve in the

456
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:50,359
Speaker 1: league at that time. You had RG three went to Baylor.

457
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:52,080
Speaker 1: You had Ryan Tannehill went to a m You had

458
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:54,240
Speaker 1: Drew Brees and went to Purdue. You have Matt Stafford

459
00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:57,439
Speaker 1: who went to Georgia. You had I think at the

460
00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:00,480
Speaker 1: time that Jim Manzel. At the time, you had like

461
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:02,639
Speaker 1: seven or eight starting quarterbacks from the state of Texas,

462
00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:04,960
Speaker 1: and only half of them, like four of the eight

463
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:08,639
Speaker 1: I think, went to universities outside the state of Texas. Now,

464
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:11,359
Speaker 1: obviously you've had Hall of Famers and Sammy Bomb, Bobby Lane,

465
00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:15,880
Speaker 1: those guys are thirties and forties and fifties. I'm at

466
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:19,960
Speaker 1: a Hall of Fame quarterback from a Texas university and

467
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:25,880
Speaker 1: since then, which is astounding to think about. Now there

468
00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:27,960
Speaker 1: have been once from the state of Texas. Now Drew

469
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:29,439
Speaker 1: Brees will go to the Hall of Fame. He is

470
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:31,679
Speaker 1: from the state of Texas. He just went to Purdue

471
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:34,280
Speaker 1: because nobody was wise enough in the State of Texas

472
00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:37,479
Speaker 1: to end up giving him a scholarship. So he went

473
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:41,480
Speaker 1: to Purdue, became a record studing quarterback, became a Heisman finalist,

474
00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:45,120
Speaker 1: and became one of the greatest quarterbacks this league has

475
00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:49,000
Speaker 1: ever seen. Matt Stafford went to Highland Park, ends up

476
00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:54,040
Speaker 1: going to Georgia, doesn't go to Texas University. So it's

477
00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:59,320
Speaker 1: been interesting to see the quarterback evolution or maybe the

478
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:02,640
Speaker 1: lack there. Like I said, state of high school the Texas,

479
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:06,760
Speaker 1: the State of Texas high school quarterbacks have been phenomenal,

480
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:11,760
Speaker 1: but the great ones have ended up going out of state. Now,

481
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:13,440
Speaker 1: we did think that RG three was gonna be the

482
00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:16,280
Speaker 1: next one, and after the injury had never panned out,

483
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:20,280
Speaker 1: so you know, they thought Johnny Manziel would be that guy.

484
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:23,600
Speaker 1: But the state of Texas just has not spit out.

485
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:27,800
Speaker 1: I mean, think of the flagship universities in this state, Texas,

486
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:31,720
Speaker 1: Texas A and M Baylor SMU. I mean, none of

487
00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:37,960
Speaker 1: these universities have spit out great quarterbacks, which I don't

488
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:42,920
Speaker 1: know what that that says. In the last truly great teams,

489
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:48,720
Speaker 1: national championship caliber teams in the state where Texas from

490
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 1: five you know, five oh eight one to No. Five

491
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:56,280
Speaker 1: played for it in O eight, Colt McCoy, Vince Young

492
00:25:56,320 --> 00:26:00,400
Speaker 1: went to the league's never panned out. Interesting, But when

493
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:08,000
Speaker 1: it comes to running backs, ridiculous, ridiculous, Eric Dickerson, Earl Campbell,

494
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 1: Jamal Charles Ladanian, Tomlinson, Priest Homes. This state is full

495
00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:18,640
Speaker 1: of great running backs that both grew up in Texas

496
00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:22,200
Speaker 1: and then played at Texas universities. We got the market

497
00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:24,440
Speaker 1: corner on that. I don't know how many more states

498
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:27,920
Speaker 1: you're gonna find that can compare running back wise. Now,

499
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:31,439
Speaker 1: state of Florida, they're gonna be a few, Emmitt Smith,

500
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:34,359
Speaker 1: Edrin James, They're gonna be a few. I don't know

501
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:40,960
Speaker 1: that it can compare completely to what the man Clinton portis,

502
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:42,919
Speaker 1: Frank Gored. They all at the University of Miami, all

503
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:45,520
Speaker 1: the same time, I still don't know that they compare

504
00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:49,200
Speaker 1: to the State of Texas running backs, but that's if

505
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:53,000
Speaker 1: there's a if there's a discrepancy the running backs and quarterbacks.

506
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:55,320
Speaker 1: I mean, it was amazing and doing this exercise, obviously

507
00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:57,000
Speaker 1: we were able to find that out. All right, how

508
00:26:57,040 --> 00:27:00,320
Speaker 1: about the defense, We definitely did our defense. We'll have

509
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:02,720
Speaker 1: that for you next right here on our Summer Celebration

510
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:37,960
Speaker 1: Tuesday edition of Texans All Access. One final segment is

511
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:42,320
Speaker 1: Tuesday edition of Texans All Access, our summer celebration week

512
00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:45,960
Speaker 1: right here on Texans All Access on Texans Radio. I'm

513
00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:48,639
Speaker 1: your host, John Harris, Football AANOS and sateline reporter. And

514
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:51,399
Speaker 1: in the first couple of segments, I described to you

515
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:54,159
Speaker 1: what Drew Doherty and I did on our in the

516
00:27:54,240 --> 00:28:01,720
Speaker 1: Lab podcast, drafting our ultimate eleven NFL offenses and defenses

517
00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:05,240
Speaker 1: consisting of players that went to Texas universities in schools.

518
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:08,520
Speaker 1: How about our defense. Let's get to the defense, and

519
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:12,960
Speaker 1: I kick it off with one very angry, one mean pick.

520
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:16,760
Speaker 1: The greatest defensive lineman of all time came from the

521
00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:19,760
Speaker 1: state of Texas. Yes, I think he played at North Texas.

522
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:25,400
Speaker 1: I think North Texas changed its mascot once this gentleman

523
00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 1: was done playing there. He's one of the greatest ever play.

524
00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:30,840
Speaker 1: He created a slant nose in Pittsburgh. I will take

525
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:32,960
Speaker 1: me and Joe Green. I like it. I like that's

526
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:35,240
Speaker 1: a good pick. I had him very high on my

527
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:37,520
Speaker 1: draft board. I, however, did not have him at the

528
00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:41,600
Speaker 1: top of my draft board. I had another defensive lineman

529
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:44,080
Speaker 1: from the North Texas area on my draft board. I

530
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:46,400
Speaker 1: know who I had these guys one two, and I

531
00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:48,479
Speaker 1: had him. You could maybe say, this is the greatest

532
00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:51,600
Speaker 1: Dallas cowboy. Why I didn't pick him? And I'm gonna

533
00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:56,440
Speaker 1: have defensive lineman Bob Lily from TCU as my first pick.

534
00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:58,480
Speaker 1: I got to interview Bob Lie at his house in

535
00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:01,680
Speaker 1: Sun City back in two thousand and three, two thousand

536
00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:03,640
Speaker 1: four ish. I don't know if he still lives there now,

537
00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:07,480
Speaker 1: but great guy. Had a lot of fun profiling him

538
00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:10,760
Speaker 1: on Texas Legend Sports. And uh, that's who my first

539
00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:13,719
Speaker 1: pick is. Okay, okay, So those are one two on

540
00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:16,520
Speaker 1: my board, and those are the first two players that

541
00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:18,600
Speaker 1: I thought of when I came up with when we

542
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 1: came up with this idea. So that leads me to

543
00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:24,640
Speaker 1: this I think the best pass rusher that does not

544
00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:27,720
Speaker 1: wear a Texans uniform currently in the NFL play at

545
00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:29,720
Speaker 1: Texas A and M. I'd like to create some heat

546
00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:31,840
Speaker 1: off the edge. I'm gonna take outside linebacker Von Miller.

547
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:35,720
Speaker 1: It's a good one. I'm gonna get some help. I

548
00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:39,120
Speaker 1: want somebody in the middle. Ye, I need a good linebacker.

549
00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:41,320
Speaker 1: And it was just coming because I had I had.

550
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:43,160
Speaker 1: It was down to these two who I would take.

551
00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:47,120
Speaker 1: I'm going with Samurai Mike from Baylor. Mike Singletary my

552
00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:50,880
Speaker 1: second pick. I got Mike Singletary, also from Worthing. Now

553
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:52,760
Speaker 1: what I like about all these guys thus far that

554
00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:56,240
Speaker 1: we've taken, they are all from Texas. Yes, thus far,

555
00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:59,440
Speaker 1: thus far. I don't know if it'll continue that way.

556
00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:02,840
Speaker 1: But I think I know where you're going. No, actually

557
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:04,440
Speaker 1: I don't know that you do. I think I do.

558
00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:06,240
Speaker 1: I think I don't know that you do. I go ahead.

559
00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:09,360
Speaker 1: You know. The Chris Ballad philosophy up in Indianapolis is

560
00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:10,880
Speaker 1: one that I think a lot of people adhere to.

561
00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:13,000
Speaker 1: You gotta be good, You gotta be good on your

562
00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:15,920
Speaker 1: offensive defensive lines. Where you going? But I got Joe

563
00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:18,280
Speaker 1: Green already, So I'm gonna go to the secondary. Oh,

564
00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:20,680
Speaker 1: I didn't know where you're Yeah, exactly, okay, And it's

565
00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:23,240
Speaker 1: a guy that's often come up on your side a

566
00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:25,760
Speaker 1: lot of times. You have picked this particular individual. Now

567
00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:27,840
Speaker 1: you didn't played a big school, but you play at

568
00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:29,920
Speaker 1: per View. Ain't m one of the greatest ever be

569
00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:32,080
Speaker 1: at HPCU, one of the greatest ever playing NFL. I'm

570
00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:36,360
Speaker 1: taking Kenny Houston. Great choice. He's a Texans ambassador as

571
00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:40,880
Speaker 1: well Pro Football Hall of Famer. So far five four

572
00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:43,040
Speaker 1: of the five that have been chosen are Pro Football

573
00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:45,200
Speaker 1: Hall of Famers. Von Miller gotta be there someday on

574
00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:47,920
Speaker 1: his way. Yeah, yeah, he's on his way. See, I

575
00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:50,040
Speaker 1: thought you were gonna chose the guy that I'm choosing

576
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:53,880
Speaker 1: now because you said, uh, not necessarily from the state

577
00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:57,920
Speaker 1: of Texas. Well. Michael Strahan, I believe was born in Germany,

578
00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:01,040
Speaker 1: grew up in Germany War correct, played just down the

579
00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:03,680
Speaker 1: road here at TSU. So I'm gonna go with defensive

580
00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:08,120
Speaker 1: lineman Michael Strahand, defensive end Michael Strahand. I'm gonna put

581
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:12,280
Speaker 1: him there up on my line from Texas, Texas TSU.

582
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:15,880
Speaker 1: So there we go. That is that's very very well done.

583
00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:19,360
Speaker 1: You appreciate that, all right? So off the board thus

584
00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:22,520
Speaker 1: far from me, he Joe Green, Von Miller and k

585
00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:27,960
Speaker 1: Houston for you, Bob Lilly, Michael Strayhand, and Mike Singletary.

586
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:31,960
Speaker 1: So all right, So I'm just looking at my board here. Now.

587
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:34,120
Speaker 1: One thing that you did when we did our draft

588
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:42,280
Speaker 1: of of Texans uh in history. You went after corners. Yeah. Now,

589
00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:44,160
Speaker 1: when I started looking at the pass rushers, I mean

590
00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:47,400
Speaker 1: we got I think Von Miller, Michael Strahand off the board.

591
00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:51,440
Speaker 1: Nice job. I'll appreciate what you did there. I feel

592
00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:55,360
Speaker 1: like the state of Texas has produced some unbelievable corners. Yeah,

593
00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:57,120
Speaker 1: and so I'm going back to Texas A and M

594
00:31:57,200 --> 00:32:02,160
Speaker 1: for one and they out stick him because of this guy. Yeah,

595
00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:05,680
Speaker 1: he was fantastic. His nickname was the Molester, but only

596
00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:09,600
Speaker 1: because that rhyme did his first name. That's the old

597
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:12,720
Speaker 1: that I won't use his nickname. But Lester Hayes is

598
00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:15,040
Speaker 1: one of the best I ever played. In his nineteen

599
00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:20,400
Speaker 1: eighty one season, I believe it was thirteen interceptions, and

600
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:24,040
Speaker 1: he created a tandem with Michael Haynes. When Haynes got

601
00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:28,640
Speaker 1: there from New England in nineteen eighty three, they were phenomenal.

602
00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:31,719
Speaker 1: So I'm going Lester Hayes Texas A and M as

603
00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:35,719
Speaker 1: one of my shutdown corners. That's a nice one I wanted.

604
00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:39,040
Speaker 1: I think I don't want to be bereft of corners.

605
00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:41,440
Speaker 1: I don't want to be without corners. And I still

606
00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:43,200
Speaker 1: got some defensive lineman that I want to take, but

607
00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:46,760
Speaker 1: I want to block you from taking this corner that

608
00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:50,680
Speaker 1: I have really high on my list. And it's a

609
00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:53,240
Speaker 1: guy from Texas A and I. One of the fastest

610
00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:56,360
Speaker 1: players in NFL history. He played for what I think

611
00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:59,280
Speaker 1: he played sixty seven years in the NFL No. Sixty

612
00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:02,720
Speaker 1: three sixty three years, Darrell Green. I'm going with Darryl

613
00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:07,040
Speaker 1: Green over Yah. That's pretty good. That's pretty good. Now. Um,

614
00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:08,680
Speaker 1: I'm glad you brought that up. I'm glad you brought

615
00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:11,440
Speaker 1: up Texas say and I I didn't want to. I

616
00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:14,240
Speaker 1: didn't want to tip my hand here because I feel

617
00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:15,720
Speaker 1: I feel very good about what I can do with

618
00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:18,440
Speaker 1: defensive tackle, with what I'm about to do. Okay, he's

619
00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:21,360
Speaker 1: not very well known. In fact, as I was as

620
00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:23,880
Speaker 1: I was doing this project, I use the website called

621
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:26,640
Speaker 1: draftistory dot com. Well, you'd have to look long and

622
00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:29,920
Speaker 1: hard to try and find this particular individual who was

623
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:32,880
Speaker 1: too short. He was too small. He came from a

624
00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:35,000
Speaker 1: very small town of Texas and he ended up at Texas,

625
00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:36,640
Speaker 1: Ay and I because he want to go too far away,

626
00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:40,680
Speaker 1: you at to Minnesota. He creates the best inside combo

627
00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:43,960
Speaker 1: of three technique with this guy Amy and Joe Green,

628
00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:46,720
Speaker 1: who could play with that slant nose. So I'm taking

629
00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:50,200
Speaker 1: a defensive lineman, defensive tackle in particular, I'm taking John Randall.

630
00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:53,120
Speaker 1: And you just secured the greatest personality on this entire

631
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:55,959
Speaker 1: draftboard as well. Yeah there's that. That's good. Okay, Well,

632
00:33:55,960 --> 00:33:57,920
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go back to the Rell well to the

633
00:33:57,960 --> 00:34:01,680
Speaker 1: well excuse me, Yeah, there's that too. Um I said,

634
00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:03,920
Speaker 1: I wanted to keep addressing my defensive line. I'm gonna

635
00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:06,560
Speaker 1: stay in the the the kind of interior part of it,

636
00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:08,160
Speaker 1: although I think he could probably play on the end

637
00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:12,200
Speaker 1: a little bit. And I'm gonna go with Mango the

638
00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:16,640
Speaker 1: University of Texas made his bones with the Bears. I'm

639
00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:20,840
Speaker 1: gonna go with Steve McMichael, part of the Monsters of

640
00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:24,160
Speaker 1: the Midway, the eighty five Bears. He's a good one

641
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:27,040
Speaker 1: and that's who I want that's an excellent one. As

642
00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:29,839
Speaker 1: a matter of fact, thank you. It's really good. Now

643
00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:31,799
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go back to that whole corner well just

644
00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:34,520
Speaker 1: because I feel like I'm gonna be able to create

645
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:37,080
Speaker 1: with what I'm about to do, I'm gonna create some

646
00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:41,840
Speaker 1: shutdown corners. Now. He only played at A and M

647
00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:43,560
Speaker 1: for a short amount of time because he played at

648
00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:46,640
Speaker 1: Blinn College to begin his career. He's one of mar

649
00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:49,719
Speaker 1: Vannimer's favorites. Yep, he was an original Texans. In fact,

650
00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:52,800
Speaker 1: I think he might have been the Texans first pro bowler.

651
00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:56,560
Speaker 1: I believe sounds about Yeah, he and Gary Walker, maybe

652
00:34:56,920 --> 00:35:00,360
Speaker 1: Aaron Glenn. Good job. I've gone to the A M

653
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:03,759
Speaker 1: well a lot. But when you think about defense in

654
00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:07,600
Speaker 1: the state of Texas, yeah, I mean that's that's really

655
00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:10,799
Speaker 1: where where you It's a shame if you're listening as

656
00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:12,960
Speaker 1: a Longhorns fan, because yeah, there are there are a

657
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:16,480
Speaker 1: few Longhorns, but for the most part, there are some

658
00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:19,840
Speaker 1: studs at A and M. Throughout the years, with without

659
00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:26,000
Speaker 1: a doubt, there have been some studs. Okay, uh, I

660
00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:30,799
Speaker 1: want to stay stay strong there at linebacker, and I'm

661
00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:36,480
Speaker 1: gonna go with a guy who is a borderline, NFL

662
00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:38,520
Speaker 1: Hall of Famer or Pro Football Hall of Famer okay,

663
00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:45,160
Speaker 1: surefire College Football Hall of Famer, and until Earl Karrent

664
00:35:45,239 --> 00:35:47,279
Speaker 1: Campbell came along, he was the greatest longhorn, one of

665
00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:49,919
Speaker 1: the greatest longhorns of all time. Tommy Nobis, I'm gonna

666
00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:52,440
Speaker 1: put him in the middle there at linebacker, pair him

667
00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:55,200
Speaker 1: up with Singletary. That's where I'm going with all right.

668
00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:58,440
Speaker 1: I had Nobis on my board as well. I have

669
00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:01,839
Speaker 1: a different longhorn. In fact, I might wait to take

670
00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:04,080
Speaker 1: him now because I don't imagine you're gonna go with

671
00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:07,080
Speaker 1: another linebacker. I don't think, but I'm not sure. So

672
00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:10,120
Speaker 1: on my board right now, I've got me and Joe

673
00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:13,120
Speaker 1: Green and John Randall inside. I have an outside linebacker,

674
00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:16,440
Speaker 1: Von Miller. I have Lester Hayes Aaron Glenn at the corners.

675
00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:19,200
Speaker 1: I have Kenny Houston as safety. Ye all right, And

676
00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:22,520
Speaker 1: you have Bob Lilly a defensive tackle. You Michael Strahan

677
00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:25,880
Speaker 1: could play tackler, and you have Mike Singletary, Tommy Nobis,

678
00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:30,799
Speaker 1: you also have Darryl Green and Steve McMichael. Boy, you

679
00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:35,360
Speaker 1: really you did what I think should be done. You

680
00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:38,439
Speaker 1: went after the lines and then kind of mixed mine

681
00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:42,319
Speaker 1: up a little bit. But uh, okay, I want to

682
00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:44,640
Speaker 1: overwhelm the quarterback. No, I hear you, That's what I'm

683
00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:48,759
Speaker 1: going on. I know, I absolutely hear you, no doubt

684
00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:50,799
Speaker 1: about that. I mean, you gotta you gotta get back there.

685
00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:53,040
Speaker 1: And I think with Joe Green and John Randall, I

686
00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:54,600
Speaker 1: have two guys that can rush from the interior, and

687
00:36:54,640 --> 00:36:57,080
Speaker 1: I got Von Miller and the outside. So I feel,

688
00:36:57,880 --> 00:37:01,640
Speaker 1: I feel, I feel pretty good it about being able

689
00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:03,879
Speaker 1: to do that. So you know what, I'm just gonna

690
00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:05,359
Speaker 1: go and take him off the board just because I'm

691
00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:08,120
Speaker 1: gonna feel good about this guy. He just became one

692
00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:10,880
Speaker 1: of the newest Oakland Raiders, but he played a long

693
00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:14,920
Speaker 1: career in Kansas City. I'm gonna take DJ Derek Johnson.

694
00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:18,560
Speaker 1: Inside love that guy. I love Travis Johnson, but I

695
00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:20,879
Speaker 1: think the Texans at OH five would have been well

696
00:37:20,920 --> 00:37:23,400
Speaker 1: served to have taken Derek Johnson. That's a good choice.

697
00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:26,319
Speaker 1: All that guy did was forced fumbles his last year

698
00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:30,040
Speaker 1: of Texas. He was a hell of a player there

699
00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:32,239
Speaker 1: and he's stuck around the NFL for a long time.

700
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:34,680
Speaker 1: Nice choice. Okay, Like you mentioned, I've got a pretty

701
00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:40,520
Speaker 1: overwhelming defensive line, and I'm gonna do something for the

702
00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:43,480
Speaker 1: greater good of my team. And I'm still gonna make

703
00:37:43,520 --> 00:37:45,839
Speaker 1: my defense I think a lot better. But I'm gonna

704
00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:49,120
Speaker 1: go to Yale. What you can't go to Yale, well

705
00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:52,320
Speaker 1: you can go to Yale if it's Yale. Larry Texas

706
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:55,560
Speaker 1: A and m Aggie and Pro Football Hall of Famer,

707
00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:59,320
Speaker 1: great defensive back, great punter. If we need to go

708
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:03,120
Speaker 1: at damn good return man he made I think he

709
00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:05,080
Speaker 1: made Pro Bowl at all three, So I'm gonna add him.

710
00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:08,520
Speaker 1: I'm gonna put him at defensive back, maybe say corner.

711
00:38:08,840 --> 00:38:10,680
Speaker 1: That's pretty good. He's kind of got a little bit

712
00:38:10,719 --> 00:38:13,120
Speaker 1: of Honey Badger in him. So I'm gonna go with Yale.

713
00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:16,040
Speaker 1: Larry probably not as well known to most football fans

714
00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:19,600
Speaker 1: out there listening, but trust me, look him up y

715
00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:22,960
Speaker 1: Ali and then last name Larry with only a one arm.

716
00:38:23,120 --> 00:38:25,640
Speaker 1: He went deep in the recesses. I mean no, no no,

717
00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:27,240
Speaker 1: I mean I don't, I don't. I don't have disagree

718
00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:33,440
Speaker 1: with you there. Um Now my secondary, Lester Hayes, Aaron Glenn,

719
00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:35,680
Speaker 1: Kenny Houston. I feel good about what I've got in

720
00:38:35,719 --> 00:38:39,040
Speaker 1: the secondary. I feel good with Von Miller on the outside.

721
00:38:39,560 --> 00:38:43,080
Speaker 1: I feel like I could use I feel like I

722
00:38:43,080 --> 00:38:46,719
Speaker 1: could use it, do it all linebacker. Yeah, guy that

723
00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:49,560
Speaker 1: could do just anything. I got one. He's highest on

724
00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:51,840
Speaker 1: my board right now. Yeah. Yeah, well I got one.

725
00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:53,880
Speaker 1: I play tex say now, oh, may not be the

726
00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:58,839
Speaker 1: one year things, No, but I feel like I don't know,

727
00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:02,480
Speaker 1: maybe maybe maybe injury's short change his career a little bit.

728
00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:04,759
Speaker 1: I felt like he was on the field, he was fantastic.

729
00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:08,760
Speaker 1: He's the first Vietnamese born player to be in the NFL.

730
00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:12,600
Speaker 1: And when he comes to Texas practice, I love seeing him.

731
00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:14,320
Speaker 1: I could play him inside, I could play him a

732
00:39:14,360 --> 00:39:17,080
Speaker 1: little bit outside. I'm gonna draft that win from you

733
00:39:17,400 --> 00:39:19,480
Speaker 1: from Texas an now, good choice. I like it. I

734
00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:22,440
Speaker 1: like it. So I thought you were initially talking about

735
00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:26,759
Speaker 1: another somewhat undersized linebacker who also played in the mid

736
00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:30,240
Speaker 1: nineteen nineties. But I thought you were talking about Zach

737
00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:33,399
Speaker 1: Thomas from Texas Tech wound up with the Dolphins. It's

738
00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:35,359
Speaker 1: a great one. I'm gonna roll with a four three

739
00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:37,959
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna put Zach Thomas in there with Singletary

740
00:39:38,360 --> 00:39:41,640
Speaker 1: and with Tommy Nobis and let them sort it out.

741
00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:43,759
Speaker 1: I think that's a pretty good linebacking corps. There. Yeah,

742
00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:46,200
Speaker 1: you got it. That that's a good one. That's a

743
00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:51,080
Speaker 1: very good one. That Zach Thomas poll was was exceptional.

744
00:39:51,120 --> 00:39:55,120
Speaker 1: I mean, man, he was sideline to sideline. He was

745
00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:58,480
Speaker 1: unbelievable to watch the guy at his size, he's won

746
00:39:58,520 --> 00:40:00,680
Speaker 1: the game back then, the guy at his size being

747
00:40:00,719 --> 00:40:02,560
Speaker 1: able to do what he was able to do. And

748
00:40:02,719 --> 00:40:06,560
Speaker 1: ironically he comes from Texas Tech, where there there haven't

749
00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:10,120
Speaker 1: been I mean, we haven't seen too many great defensive

750
00:40:10,120 --> 00:40:12,680
Speaker 1: players come out of Texas Tech over the last how

751
00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:17,200
Speaker 1: many every years, but him coming out of there, he was,

752
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:20,040
Speaker 1: he was he was something else, all right. So looking

753
00:40:20,040 --> 00:40:25,160
Speaker 1: at mine, I'm I'm pretty good up front, But you

754
00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:26,680
Speaker 1: know what, there's a guy and I thought you would

755
00:40:26,680 --> 00:40:29,520
Speaker 1: have taken him. I really, I really thought this was

756
00:40:29,560 --> 00:40:32,759
Speaker 1: a fatal complete really no, you know what, I think

757
00:40:32,840 --> 00:40:35,279
Speaker 1: there's safety Okay, I think one of the best, and

758
00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:36,520
Speaker 1: I think he's on his way to the Hall of

759
00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:39,560
Speaker 1: Fame right now. Plays in Seattle. Picked off the Sean

760
00:40:39,719 --> 00:40:43,160
Speaker 1: last year, had it pick six. He's been one of

761
00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:47,000
Speaker 1: the great players in the NFL. I'm gonna take a

762
00:40:47,080 --> 00:40:49,600
Speaker 1: safety put next to Kenny Houston. I will take Earl Thomas.

763
00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:52,440
Speaker 1: It's a good choice. It's a really good choice. I

764
00:40:52,560 --> 00:40:55,520
Speaker 1: like it right now, highest on my board. Have a

765
00:40:55,600 --> 00:40:57,600
Speaker 1: nose tackle that I'm I'm just not gonna take him

766
00:40:57,719 --> 00:41:00,399
Speaker 1: because I don't need a nose tackle. Really, I'm running

767
00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:02,600
Speaker 1: a four to three. I mean, he could play inside,

768
00:41:02,640 --> 00:41:05,040
Speaker 1: could play defensive tackle. I just I don't. I don't

769
00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:07,440
Speaker 1: want to do that. This is tough, John, I know,

770
00:41:08,080 --> 00:41:09,920
Speaker 1: all right. Now we're getting down to it, and I'm

771
00:41:09,920 --> 00:41:12,359
Speaker 1: gonna put a defensive end, big defensive end. I guess

772
00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:18,000
Speaker 1: I'll go with Tony Brackens, good solid, University of Texas. Longhorn. Yeah,

773
00:41:18,239 --> 00:41:24,480
Speaker 1: he destroyed, absolutely destroyed somebody running a sideline right in

774
00:41:24,520 --> 00:41:26,160
Speaker 1: front of a TV camera and I think it may

775
00:41:26,200 --> 00:41:28,279
Speaker 1: have been an ESPN game, and I mean it was

776
00:41:29,120 --> 00:41:32,560
Speaker 1: an unbelievable hit. So we've got two four, six, eight,

777
00:41:32,719 --> 00:41:36,399
Speaker 1: nine nine guys, right, Ye, all right, So I need

778
00:41:36,440 --> 00:41:38,800
Speaker 1: a corner and I need a safety. I'm kind of

779
00:41:38,800 --> 00:41:41,479
Speaker 1: all over the board with what I got. I feel

780
00:41:41,480 --> 00:41:44,239
Speaker 1: like I got, you know what I'm gonna do. I

781
00:41:44,239 --> 00:41:46,160
Speaker 1: feel like I need to get a little bit. I

782
00:41:46,200 --> 00:41:48,480
Speaker 1: can do some stuff with me and Joe Green yep,

783
00:41:49,880 --> 00:41:51,520
Speaker 1: But if I really want to just stop the run.

784
00:41:51,560 --> 00:41:52,719
Speaker 1: I mean, I got me and Joe and I got

785
00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:55,080
Speaker 1: John Randall. I don't know if I should go for interior.

786
00:41:55,360 --> 00:41:57,120
Speaker 1: I bet this was a dream of people at Texas

787
00:41:57,160 --> 00:41:59,800
Speaker 1: A and m What if Von Miller lined up opposite

788
00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:02,799
Speaker 1: Miles Garrett. Yeah, that's what I was thinking. I think

789
00:42:02,840 --> 00:42:05,439
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna take Miles Garrett, put

790
00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:08,680
Speaker 1: him at defensive end. We're outside linebacker depending on what

791
00:42:08,760 --> 00:42:10,560
Speaker 1: we're gonna do, and hope he's healthy because if I'm

792
00:42:10,560 --> 00:42:12,920
Speaker 1: bringing Miles Garrett and Von Miller, I get Randall and

793
00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:16,160
Speaker 1: Green on the inside. Again, I'm getting interior pressure, which

794
00:42:16,200 --> 00:42:19,040
Speaker 1: I like, sure, and so that leaves me really with

795
00:42:19,239 --> 00:42:22,319
Speaker 1: just I can take best available player at that point. See,

796
00:42:22,360 --> 00:42:24,799
Speaker 1: I've got to go defensive backs now, you know what.

797
00:42:24,960 --> 00:42:27,960
Speaker 1: Raymond Claiborne from Texas was a damn good cornerback, was

798
00:42:28,080 --> 00:42:30,440
Speaker 1: very good with the Patriots back in the day. And yeah,

799
00:42:30,440 --> 00:42:32,759
Speaker 1: I think it's forgotten because of when he played. But

800
00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:34,719
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with Raymond Claiborne and get there. That's

801
00:42:34,760 --> 00:42:36,680
Speaker 1: why I think is the best corner left on my board. Yeah,

802
00:42:36,719 --> 00:42:40,920
Speaker 1: I mean that's a Raymond Claiborne was an excellent, excellent

803
00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:42,840
Speaker 1: football player. I mean, I think that's a that's a

804
00:42:43,080 --> 00:42:45,160
Speaker 1: that's a really good pick. Yeah, I gotta, I gotta

805
00:42:45,160 --> 00:42:46,800
Speaker 1: give it to you. At that point, I feel like

806
00:42:46,840 --> 00:42:49,879
Speaker 1: I need to take best available. Now I have gone

807
00:42:49,920 --> 00:42:52,759
Speaker 1: to Texas in Texas and him well a lot. Yeah,

808
00:42:52,760 --> 00:42:54,960
Speaker 1: I did go to prayer of you two, but I

809
00:42:55,040 --> 00:42:57,520
Speaker 1: feel like I need to go there again, especially upfront,

810
00:42:57,560 --> 00:43:00,840
Speaker 1: because there are some dudes up front in this state.

811
00:43:01,040 --> 00:43:03,520
Speaker 1: I mean, there were some big time players. We got

812
00:43:03,600 --> 00:43:05,320
Speaker 1: to stop the run, and we gotta do it, and

813
00:43:05,320 --> 00:43:06,960
Speaker 1: we gotta do it well. One of the best ever

814
00:43:07,040 --> 00:43:09,200
Speaker 1: do it was a true nose tackle. Yep, if you

815
00:43:09,320 --> 00:43:12,120
Speaker 1: versus Texas Casey Hampton. All Right, I need a defensive

816
00:43:12,200 --> 00:43:15,080
Speaker 1: back because right now I have two corners in Raymond

817
00:43:15,120 --> 00:43:18,640
Speaker 1: Claiborne and Darryl Greene, and I have Yale Larry I

818
00:43:18,640 --> 00:43:21,680
Speaker 1: mean he could kind of play safety. I guess I

819
00:43:21,680 --> 00:43:23,359
Speaker 1: need to get a true safety. So should I go

820
00:43:23,520 --> 00:43:28,160
Speaker 1: with SMUs Wes Hopkins who played pretty well for the Eagles.

821
00:43:28,320 --> 00:43:31,440
Speaker 1: Should I go way back in time take Bob Bradley

822
00:43:31,719 --> 00:43:34,239
Speaker 1: safety from Texas who wound up being an All Pro

823
00:43:34,360 --> 00:43:36,239
Speaker 1: for early part of the seventies. It's a good one.

824
00:43:36,320 --> 00:43:39,040
Speaker 1: Should I go with Michael Griffin, another safety from Texas

825
00:43:39,200 --> 00:43:42,160
Speaker 1: tired with the Titans. He was pretty good, played longer

826
00:43:42,160 --> 00:43:44,439
Speaker 1: than Bradley, but I don't know that he reached Bob

827
00:43:44,480 --> 00:43:49,920
Speaker 1: Bradley's heights as a safety in the NFL. Some I'm

828
00:43:49,960 --> 00:43:51,600
Speaker 1: gonna go back. I'm gonna go with Bob Bradley here.

829
00:43:51,600 --> 00:43:55,280
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with Bob Bradley at safety and that'll

830
00:43:55,360 --> 00:43:58,960
Speaker 1: do it. That is our summer celebration celebrating those that

831
00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:03,040
Speaker 1: have played at Texas universities and colleges. Thanks to Drew

832
