1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,720
Speaker 1: Welcome into Texans All Access. It's week one. The David

2
00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:06,440
Speaker 1: Colly Era Urban Meyer Era Official will begin on Sunday.

3
00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:08,760
Speaker 1: Welcome in. I'm dpc DO along with Mark Vanimer. Just

4
00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:11,960
Speaker 1: wrapped up an hour of the Texans Players Show presented

5
00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:14,800
Speaker 1: by Food Ruckers with Travis Johnson. I'm so happy Mark

6
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:17,520
Speaker 1: that we're back in the studio this year for radio shows,

7
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:20,279
Speaker 1: and we'll get players starting next week. Obviously, this week

8
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:22,480
Speaker 1: being the first week, we don't have a current player,

9
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:25,239
Speaker 1: so we had legend Travis Johnson. But it's just great

10
00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:27,040
Speaker 1: to be back in studio. It's great to have football

11
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:29,920
Speaker 1: back in the building, and it feels different from twenty twenty.

12
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:32,920
Speaker 1: It's not quite like normal football in twenty nineteen, but

13
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:35,040
Speaker 1: I feel like we're a little bit closer to it

14
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:36,960
Speaker 1: than we were. Yeah, I feel a lot closer. I

15
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:39,160
Speaker 1: wish we were at food Ruckers because I'd be having

16
00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:41,680
Speaker 1: a milkshake arrive any moment now, and it's not going

17
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:45,000
Speaker 1: to happen here in the Hunday Texans Radio studio. But look,

18
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:48,239
Speaker 1: I loved having Travis on. I think Travis could do

19
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:51,840
Speaker 1: a show every week, maybe more than that. He's really entertaining,

20
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 1: so that was fun. And next week we have Charles

21
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:57,720
Speaker 1: amenahu on and I've already taught to David Colly on

22
00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:00,200
Speaker 1: the air this week, Nick Kissario, You're gonna hear those

23
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:02,160
Speaker 1: on Texans All Access later on in the week, but

24
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 1: we've podcasted those interviews out and it's just been a

25
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 1: real exciting, energetic vibe heading into Week one. You're right deep,

26
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 1: we can feel it. It's here. Last year we're sort

27
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:17,200
Speaker 1: of thinking, look, let's just get through the season somehow,

28
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 1: and then the season spiraled quickly out of control. But

29
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 1: as far as what we do, we're just trying to

30
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:25,240
Speaker 1: get through it. We did and here we are, and

31
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:27,760
Speaker 1: it's just so much fun. I'm glad the fans can

32
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 1: show up to the building on Sunday and be part

33
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:31,959
Speaker 1: of this thing. And you know, we'll be able to

34
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 1: do everything soon enough, I hope. Yeah. It's gonna be

35
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 1: a totally different Texans team than what we had last year.

36
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:39,119
Speaker 1: It's actually a totally different Jags team. I was talking

37
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 1: to JP Shadwick of the Jaguars Radio Network, and a

38
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:44,840
Speaker 1: lot of the stuff that he talked about regarding the Jaguars,

39
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 1: you could sort of say the same thing about the

40
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 1: Texans He's like, you know, there's a lot of optimism,

41
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 1: there's hope, but we don't really know what this offense

42
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 1: and what this team is going to look like right now,

43
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 1: you know. And I think that week one we're about

44
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 1: to all find out together will both teams look like.

45
00:01:58,040 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 1: But I'd rather be facing these guys in week one

46
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 1: than later on. See, I can predict. I feel like

47
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 1: I can predict what the Texans are gonna be like,

48
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 1: what they're gonna look like as far as scheme and everything,

49
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 1: more than I can predict the Jaguars. Because the Jaguars,

50
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 1: even though they have Bevil and Brian Schottenheimer and everything,

51
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 1: but Urban Meyers the head guy there. So I'm wondering

52
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 1: what his stamp is gonna be. Is it gonna look

53
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:21,639
Speaker 1: more NFL like than we think? Is it gonna look

54
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:24,960
Speaker 1: a little more college like? Where they completely sandbagging in

55
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 1: the preseason. They weren't completely sandbagging in the preseason, but

56
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 1: how much did they show or not show? As far

57
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 1: as the Texans go, I always felt like it was

58
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 1: gonna be a run first kind of offense. And when

59
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 1: I say run first, I mean boring run first, I

60
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 1: mean you're gonna play action. Off of that, You're gonna

61
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 1: move to Rod Taylor out of the pocket. You're gonna

62
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 1: do a lot of cool stuff that way, a lot

63
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:46,960
Speaker 1: of cool East West stuff to enable them to get

64
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 1: open throwing lanes. But I really feel like I could

65
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 1: predict the offense for the Texans more than I could

66
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:56,119
Speaker 1: predict the Jaguars. As far as the Houston defense, I'm

67
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 1: just hoping that what they got going in the preseason

68
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:01,960
Speaker 1: continues here with this takeaway train rolling and the fact

69
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 1: that they were able to stop the run. I know

70
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 1: it was a little harder in Week two, but in

71
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:08,679
Speaker 1: Week three, Week one they did a really good job

72
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 1: of that. I think to see Trevor Lawrence in his

73
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 1: first NFL start with this defense is going to be

74
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 1: a lot of fun. If this defense looks like what

75
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:17,640
Speaker 1: it looked like in the preseason, I think their ability

76
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:20,920
Speaker 1: to get pressure and to force some takeaways, you know,

77
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 1: it might be a rough day for Trevor Lawrence. I

78
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 1: don't know. I've heard some great things coming out of

79
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 1: Jacksonville about what he's looked like this offseason ots but

80
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 1: of course, the speed of the game is the speed

81
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 1: of the game. He's never played in an NFL game,

82
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:34,239
Speaker 1: the entire game against starters on defense. I don't think

83
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 1: you know what. I haven't watched them in training camp.

84
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 1: I haven't watched this practice is so who knows. I've

85
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 1: watched them a bit in these games and these preseason games,

86
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 1: but how can you really tell how he's going to be.

87
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 1: You know, they're optimistic and look, I know there are enemy.

88
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 1: They're an AFC South foe, and by the way, I've

89
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 1: started to hate them more and more deep, Like you know,

90
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 1: my hate meter on the Colts is off the scale,

91
00:03:56,400 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 1: and the Titans is right there with them. The Jags

92
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 1: their arrival, but I've never felt the ire that I

93
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 1: feel against those other two teams until this preseason. It

94
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 1: started to rev up a lot because of all this

95
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 1: Lawrence love. And it's nothing against him personally. It's kind

96
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 1: of like the people who annoyed him before they see

97
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 1: him playing in these regular season games. And Urban Meyer

98
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:20,119
Speaker 1: as well, because even though urban Meyer is a highly

99
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:23,280
Speaker 1: successful college coach, I totally respect him. I've never been

100
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:25,360
Speaker 1: a huge fan of him. Maybe I'm just jealous. I

101
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:28,479
Speaker 1: don't know he is Sabin. I don't know. I just

102
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:31,600
Speaker 1: feel that way. But I give Urban maya credit because

103
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 1: he's trying something new. He's trying the NFL. Now, let's

104
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 1: see if I can do this well. I totally understood

105
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:39,480
Speaker 1: the Tebow thing. When Tebow caught that touchdown pass and

106
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 1: practice from Trevor Lawrence, I thought that highlight, we're going

107
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 1: a little crazy here. There was no defense. It was

108
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:51,360
Speaker 1: tackling dummies and literally that Lawrence had to scramble away

109
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 1: from right No, they were approaching. It looked like it

110
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 1: looked like one of those versus the mascots halftime shows

111
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 1: or time games that the peeweees do. And Tebow had

112
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 1: a diving touchdown catch and they ran that highlight more

113
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:08,479
Speaker 1: than the immaculate reception. So I started to hate the

114
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:12,040
Speaker 1: Jags even more because of that. But it'll be interesting.

115
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 1: I still think that there's a lot of love for him,

116
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:17,720
Speaker 1: and I get it. They want to be optimistic, they

117
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 1: want to be positive about what they're about to go

118
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 1: through here with Lawrence. But dB, I look at you know,

119
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 1: I look at Jamis Winston and Marcus Mariota one and

120
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:29,559
Speaker 1: two respectively in twenty fifteen, neither guy with their original team.

121
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:32,479
Speaker 1: Then I look at Jared Goff and Carson Wentz one

122
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 1: and two, neither guy with their original team. You cannot

123
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:38,560
Speaker 1: assume anything when you draft a guy that high. And

124
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:41,360
Speaker 1: that goes for Mahomes and Watson two, who were both

125
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:44,480
Speaker 1: drafted in twenty seventeen, but they weren't the number one

126
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:47,040
Speaker 1: and two pick. It was ten and twelve. Worked out

127
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 1: a lot better for them as far as initial success

128
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 1: than it did for those other guys I mentioned, So

129
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 1: we'll see how it goes. I don't gossip into a

130
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:56,840
Speaker 1: super Bowl. But the Rams didn't believe in him, they

131
00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,159
Speaker 1: traded him. So look, I don't know what's gonna happen

132
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 1: with Lawrence. I can't any predictions here. He's a really

133
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 1: good player. We'll see. All right, I'm gonna get to

134
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 1: some hot reads, but before I do, I've got a

135
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 1: fun fact for you. Okay, in the common and this

136
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 1: was tweeted I retweeted it. In the common draft era,

137
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:13,719
Speaker 1: from nineteen sixty seven until now, there have been twenty

138
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:17,919
Speaker 1: five previous number one overall picks at quarterback. Okay, so

139
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 1: you know what the record is for number one overall

140
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 1: picks at quarterback in their first NFL start. Oh, it's

141
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:26,720
Speaker 1: not good. What is it? It's four wins, twenty losses

142
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:29,360
Speaker 1: and one tie. And now you got to think, like

143
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 1: you've got Peyton Manning. You got all these guys have

144
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:33,839
Speaker 1: been drafted number one overall, they lost their NFL debut.

145
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:36,000
Speaker 1: Not saying that Trevor Lawrence is Peyton Manning. I'm just

146
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:40,160
Speaker 1: za for for for the purpose of the exercise, the

147
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 1: last number one overall pick to win their NFL debut?

148
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:48,560
Speaker 1: Can you guess who that is? Luck? Good? Luck? Win? Um?

149
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 1: Who do you? Who do you got two thousand two

150
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:55,120
Speaker 1: David Carr? Oh, of course David Carr. One. That's the

151
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 1: last one. That's what's so astounding about that fact that

152
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:00,720
Speaker 1: no one has won since then. You have a lot

153
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:03,840
Speaker 1: of good quarterbacks too. You have Carson Palmer, you do

154
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:06,480
Speaker 1: have Andrew Luck, you have the other guys I mentioned,

155
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 1: and like I did say, Jared Goff did go to

156
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl. Uh, this is interesting. David Carr's the

157
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 1: last guy to win. I thought you would enjoy fascinating. Fascinating.

158
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 1: So that was so you said, twenty five of them,

159
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 1: twenty five of them in the draft in the current

160
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 1: draft era that we have. That's incredible, sire, And only

161
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 1: four wins on opening twenty losses one time. Well, usually

162
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 1: you're going to a team that's not a good team.

163
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 1: That's why they have the number one pick up the draft.

164
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 1: You know, so you're not and they're not going to

165
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 1: turn it around that quickly. The Texans obviously word expansion team.

166
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 1: I guess Tim Couch is one of those guys too,

167
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 1: for the Cleveland Browns in nineteen ninety nine. Drew Bledsoe

168
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 1: of the Patriots. You mentioned Peyton Manning, but no one,

169
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 1: no one expected that the Texans to win that opening

170
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 1: day game, and I wanted to know, like I felt

171
00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 1: the eye rolls in the building from you and Drew

172
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:02,240
Speaker 1: and maybe to a certain extent, when I wrote an

173
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 1: article of the top four opening Day opening days that

174
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:09,680
Speaker 1: the Texas have ever had, well, I mean I understand

175
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 1: that two thousand and two game was probably well. I

176
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 1: said I picked top four because look, I was gonna

177
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 1: go top three, But that would mean I'm only picking

178
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 1: two games because number one, it's like it has to

179
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 1: be that. Yeah, it's got to be that game. There's

180
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 1: nothing that's Opening Day You'll never you'll never replace it. Now,

181
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 1: you could have beaten the Chiefs last year Opening Day

182
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:34,319
Speaker 1: fifty to nothing. It would not have replaced opening day

183
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 1: of franchise history over the Cowboys. All right, so now

184
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:38,440
Speaker 1: you're gonna name the other three since people are like, okay,

185
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:41,439
Speaker 1: I named the victory over Miami in two thousand and

186
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 1: three to open the second season in Texans history because

187
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:46,720
Speaker 1: the Dolphins were really good back then. People forget how

188
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:50,600
Speaker 1: good the Dolphins were, especially in September. But they were

189
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 1: coming off fourteen consecutive non losing seasons. They were in

190
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:57,719
Speaker 1: the playoffs almost every year. They were awesome. I mean,

191
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:04,679
Speaker 1: Don Shula didn't get fired because he had multiple losing seasons.

192
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:07,320
Speaker 1: Shula would have a five hundred season and it was

193
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:10,959
Speaker 1: a disaster. Then Jimmy Johnson takes over and he builds

194
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:13,559
Speaker 1: up a nice defensive team. They never could replace Marino,

195
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 1: but anyway, they beat the Dolphins at OZ three. I know,

196
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 1: I'm giving you the whole history of the Dolphins here

197
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 1: was trying to get you just want the article information.

198
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:22,280
Speaker 1: The victory of Kansas City in two thousand and seven

199
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 1: to start the season. That was the first game with

200
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:27,839
Speaker 1: match Shob Andrey Johnson, Gary Kubiak together Kubiak second year,

201
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 1: and they beat the Chiefs twenty to three. Shop hits

202
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:33,040
Speaker 1: Andre Johnson on a seventy seven yard bomb in the

203
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 1: second quarter. It was glorious. It was a great way

204
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:38,560
Speaker 1: to start a season. The building went nuts when they

205
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:40,559
Speaker 1: when they hit on that long touchdown pass, which at

206
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 1: the time was the longest reception for Andre Johnson for

207
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:46,199
Speaker 1: a score. Previous high was like fifty four yards. It

208
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:49,640
Speaker 1: was a thought of this is the way it's gonna

209
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 1: be with Kubiak and Shop and Andre in this offense,

210
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 1: and oh my gosh, it's great. Two thousan ten. You

211
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:59,319
Speaker 1: remember this one beating the Colts. Arian Foster rushing for

212
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:02,720
Speaker 1: two hundred already one yards led the league in rushing

213
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 1: that year. Um, that team was really loaded. That team,

214
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:09,320
Speaker 1: all right, So that offense, that offense was really loaded.

215
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:12,080
Speaker 1: They were loaded. They had eight guys who were either

216
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 1: former or would become Pro bowlers two thousand and eight offense.

217
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 1: That's unbelievable. Eight Pro bowlers on that offense. So you

218
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 1: picked none from my time here, No, I know, I

219
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:29,320
Speaker 1: did that on perfect Okay, what would I affect though? Okay,

220
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 1: so opening day wins pretty good one. That was well,

221
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 1: that was such a I still talk about how late

222
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:37,520
Speaker 1: that game was. It was the second of a doubleheader

223
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 1: on Monday night on the West Coast San Diego Chargers

224
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 1: Brian Cushing had the pick six coming off the knee surgery.

225
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 1: You sound like me now, I love know, well, that

226
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 1: was my fighting fact, that was my first game. I

227
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:50,720
Speaker 1: just I'll know. I mean, the whole season could have

228
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:52,600
Speaker 1: gone however it went. But maybe that just made that

229
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 1: first win even better because they're only two wins that

230
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 1: entire and we used to have a victory We used

231
00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 1: to have have victory Tuesdays where they have this smorgess board

232
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:01,560
Speaker 1: of food and I missed the first two Tuesdays because

233
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 1: we used to do a show from twelve to two.

234
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:07,440
Speaker 1: And that's after the second win against Tennessee. I'm gonna

235
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 1: go on Victor Tuesday. I'm gonna get whatever, I don't know,

236
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:11,680
Speaker 1: whatever snacks and foods they had. And then they just

237
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 1: never won again. And then Victor Tuesday went away. It

238
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:16,679
Speaker 1: was fourteen consecutive losses. But you're right that Monday Night

239
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 1: or they won. It was not a great performance because

240
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 1: they were down. They had to come back, but the

241
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:23,280
Speaker 1: fact that they did come back and you were thinking,

242
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 1: all right, it was bull kids. The game winning field

243
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:28,080
Speaker 1: goal coushing against the pick six. We're good to go, right,

244
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 1: and then you had to come from behind to beat

245
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 1: or winning overtime anyway to beat the Tennessee Titans with

246
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 1: Hop catching a game winning touches out pass as a

247
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 1: rookie because Drew Johnson went out because he had the concussion.

248
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:42,719
Speaker 1: Oh that's what happened in that game. Andre Johnson went

249
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 1: out because I remember he left the game. And then

250
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 1: you know, you think, okay, that's all gonna be on

251
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:48,560
Speaker 1: this rookie. And now weren't overtime and that was a

252
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 1: home opener. You know what happened also in that game,

253
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:53,360
Speaker 1: that was the first even though they won the game,

254
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:56,960
Speaker 1: that was the first pick six against the Chargers, they

255
00:11:56,960 --> 00:12:00,079
Speaker 1: had a pick almost six but it wasn't. And then

256
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:03,840
Speaker 1: six against the Titans, and that started the string and

257
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:06,840
Speaker 1: started the wheels to completely come up. How about this

258
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:10,560
Speaker 1: one opening day victory twenty fourteen. Bill O'Brien era kicks

259
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 1: off with a win over the Washington football team as

260
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 1: they are known now blocked a kick in that game.

261
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 1: It was a nice performance that the weather was just

262
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:21,559
Speaker 1: horrific outside. It was his torrential rainstorm. Because the radio

263
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:24,960
Speaker 1: broadcast got messed up. I also remember that was Clowney

264
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:28,680
Speaker 1: coming back and then he left during halftime, So that

265
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:32,720
Speaker 1: the opening day had a weird feeling for me because

266
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:34,520
Speaker 1: when you see your number one overall pick go out

267
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:36,839
Speaker 1: in a game and people were looking at his knee

268
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 1: like that worried me. So that that had a cloud literal,

269
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:41,839
Speaker 1: it was like a literal and a figurative cloud over

270
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:44,520
Speaker 1: me um in that game. All right, number one for you,

271
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:47,360
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen winning over the Bears on opening Day, But

272
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 1: that wasn't that's not going to make a top three list.

273
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 1: But Brock Goswilder era kicks off with a victory and

274
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:56,840
Speaker 1: ends after one year. Yeah, and then we didn't really

275
00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:01,959
Speaker 1: win any opening gates after any yep, seventeen, No eighteen,

276
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:05,800
Speaker 1: No nineteen eighteen and three star nineteen ye was so

277
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:08,719
Speaker 1: Brock was the last quarterback to win on opening day

278
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 1: for the Houston text. That's really crazy. That's a that's

279
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 1: a crazy stat mark and a little bit depressing at

280
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 1: the same time too. All Right, so as we head

281
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:20,320
Speaker 1: into week one, let's get into some hot reads. Texans

282
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 1: placed Charlie Heck on the reserve COVID list yesterday. What

283
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 1: does that mean for the right tackle position. I wrote

284
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 1: a story about this. It's up on Houston Texans dot

285
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:31,400
Speaker 1: com because Marcus Cannon is practicing this week, but we

286
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:33,520
Speaker 1: don't know how much. But what happens to that right

287
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:35,439
Speaker 1: tackle position. I think that's gonna be the big question

288
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 1: all week as the Texans looked to send Charlie. Heck

289
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:40,079
Speaker 1: could still play on that day if he gets two

290
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 1: negative COVID tests, and he could. But you know, in

291
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:47,520
Speaker 1: the meantime, this old line that you sort of knew

292
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 1: what it was going to be heading into this first week.

293
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 1: We didn't. No one announced it to us, but we

294
00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 1: had a sense. We had a good idea. We had

295
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:59,239
Speaker 1: a good idea of Laramie coming back. You know, Laramie

296
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 1: and coach at it. You know, Laramie's getting back into

297
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:06,720
Speaker 1: full shape here. But you know, doctor Vandermer looked at

298
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:09,360
Speaker 1: Laramie yesterday and thought, Laramie's looking pretty good. He's looked

299
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:11,240
Speaker 1: good in the past few weeks. He's pushing this even

300
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 1: before he was back in practice when he's on the

301
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:15,320
Speaker 1: COVID list, he was pushing the slid in one hundred

302
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:17,719
Speaker 1: degree heat and the side field. I thought, I mean,

303
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:21,160
Speaker 1: he looks his strength and stammon and condition look fine

304
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:23,880
Speaker 1: to me. Martin Cannon looks fine to me. Doctor Vandermer

305
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 1: declared him healthy. Look, I don't know, but if Cannon

306
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:31,320
Speaker 1: can play a whole game, I guess as a question.

307
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 1: But who knows. Maybe maybe it's no problem for maybe

308
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:37,520
Speaker 1: oh we have to limit his reps. Who knows how

309
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:40,720
Speaker 1: they're gonna approach that, or maybe today he woke up like, yeah,

310
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 1: I can't go. I don't know how they're going to

311
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 1: handle it deep if if Heck wouldn't be available, there

312
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:50,240
Speaker 1: are a lot of different combinations. Look, Jared Christian, who

313
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 1: played left tackle all throughout the preseason, looked okay. Look

314
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 1: they rushed for one hundred and seventy against the Packers

315
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 1: and what was it against Tampa Bay was a ton

316
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 1: So they running the ball well with him for the

317
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:04,840
Speaker 1: most part. I know against Dallas it didn't go as

318
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:07,640
Speaker 1: well as they wanted. But I thought he looked good.

319
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 1: I thought Christian looked pretty good, So he's usable there.

320
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 1: You can always move tight us back over and you

321
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:15,760
Speaker 1: have McCray and sharping at the guards. That's probably not

322
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 1: your ultimate ideal set up based on who you have

323
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 1: on this roster. You know, you'd love Lane Taylor to

324
00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:23,600
Speaker 1: be healthy too, but obviously that's not a thing right now,

325
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:26,960
Speaker 1: or practice squad anyway, he's there, so I think there

326
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 1: are a lot of possibilities. Still, it's Tuesday. Let's just

327
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 1: see what happens tomorrow when the injury report comes out

328
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:35,880
Speaker 1: and who's at practice. Yeah, I think you still have

329
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:38,720
Speaker 1: your four practice squad guys that you can bring up

330
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 1: his depth because justin McCray, I think he plays interior

331
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:43,320
Speaker 1: really well. I think they like what he plays at

332
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 1: the guard position. So if you do slide tight us

333
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 1: over to the right tackle squad, maybe put McCray in

334
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:51,320
Speaker 1: at left guard, yeah, and you go from there. Or

335
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 1: maybe if Cannon's healthy, that might be the easiest because

336
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:56,040
Speaker 1: he started he started every single game at right tackle

337
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:57,840
Speaker 1: for the Patriots two years. Well, I think they'd love

338
00:15:57,880 --> 00:15:59,640
Speaker 1: that to be the case, you know, Cannon to be

339
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:03,800
Speaker 1: the star at right tackle. Healthy Cannon and take it

340
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:06,120
Speaker 1: from there. And Heck is a guy who's there for depth.

341
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:09,080
Speaker 1: But we'll see, you know, can they brought Cannon in

342
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:10,800
Speaker 1: for a reason in the offseason. I don't think they

343
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 1: had any idea. Well, maybe they hoped, maybe they thought

344
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 1: that Heck would be a lot better than he was

345
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:17,760
Speaker 1: as rookie year he had he would make that jump.

346
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:20,080
Speaker 1: But you don't know until you see it. And what

347
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:22,600
Speaker 1: we've been seeing is pretty good. So you know, I

348
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:26,120
Speaker 1: think they have more depth than people realize on the line.

349
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:28,000
Speaker 1: And I know you want continuity, you want to be

350
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 1: able to play together. I asked Nick Kissario about it.

351
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:33,360
Speaker 1: Do you have to wait, not necessarily wait, but you

352
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:35,640
Speaker 1: have to see it happen two three four weeks of

353
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:38,160
Speaker 1: the regular season for an offensive line to fully gel.

354
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:40,800
Speaker 1: They don't play a ton together in the preseason. It's

355
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:43,960
Speaker 1: still preseason. And I've heard different old lineman and old

356
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 1: line coaches says stuff like that, like you got to

357
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:47,880
Speaker 1: get into the rhythm of the season a little bit

358
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 1: before the offensive line really finds their legs. And I

359
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:53,240
Speaker 1: think Tampa will tell you that based on what happened

360
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:55,880
Speaker 1: last year to them. You know, they really got good

361
00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:58,160
Speaker 1: as the year went on and weren't learned how to

362
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:02,040
Speaker 1: work with Brady. Look, you gotta survive week one, you

363
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:05,159
Speaker 1: gotta survive every week. You know, the NCAA tournament motto

364
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 1: is survive in advance. That's really the NFL too, every

365
00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:10,879
Speaker 1: single week, Survive Advanced the next week, take it from there.

366
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:13,160
Speaker 1: You know. Tom Brady, he was on the Today Show.

367
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:15,000
Speaker 1: They were showing a clip of an interview. I don't

368
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:16,120
Speaker 1: know if he was doing it with the Today Show

369
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:17,480
Speaker 1: where he was doing with someone else. He was talking

370
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:20,320
Speaker 1: about this year with COVID and the protocols and even

371
00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:22,800
Speaker 1: though you know, we're out and about in the football

372
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:26,199
Speaker 1: games are looking more like normal than they were last year.

373
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:28,560
Speaker 1: He said, it's definitely gonna affect COVID is going to

374
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:32,399
Speaker 1: affect teams rosters more this year, just because teams are traveling,

375
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:34,600
Speaker 1: they're out and about, and he said, you just have

376
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:36,760
Speaker 1: to be prepared that you're going to have to go

377
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:38,920
Speaker 1: into some weeks with guys that are on the COVID list,

378
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:41,679
Speaker 1: like you just have to prepare for that. When all right,

379
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:43,679
Speaker 1: So I want a little credit here, not that I

380
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:46,680
Speaker 1: see credit, but but it sounds like you are, yeah,

381
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 1: about to see credit in three two one go in July,

382
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:53,240
Speaker 1: and this is why everyone needs to listen to Texans

383
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:55,119
Speaker 1: Radio every night. Johnny and I talked about this and

384
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:58,360
Speaker 1: I mentioned this in July that I think there will

385
00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:03,199
Speaker 1: be more COVID games lost, not entire games, but player

386
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:08,800
Speaker 1: appearances lost this year versus last year because we are

387
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:11,960
Speaker 1: opened up and because even though you're vaccinated, even the

388
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:16,320
Speaker 1: vacs can get it, can test positive asymptomatic. Hey, I'm fine,

389
00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:18,880
Speaker 1: or I'm a close contact. Because there's so many positives

390
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:21,679
Speaker 1: out there, I'm a close contact. Now i gotta sit possibly,

391
00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:24,320
Speaker 1: So I think it's more of a threat in that

392
00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:27,080
Speaker 1: way this year. Hopefully enough people are vacs where they

393
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:30,600
Speaker 1: don't get really sick. But we're just talking football here.

394
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:33,560
Speaker 1: You you're positive, you can't play, you know, and that

395
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:37,560
Speaker 1: even me. Look, we test regularly, right, I'm gonna test

396
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:41,359
Speaker 1: every week. If I test positive, I'm out. I'm out.

397
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:45,120
Speaker 1: I don't want to positive. Clearly, I'm staying away from

398
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:47,600
Speaker 1: large crowds. Look, I'm not gonna go crazy. I'm still

399
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:49,959
Speaker 1: gonna go to restaurants and things like that. But all right.

400
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:52,640
Speaker 1: We pulled up to a restaurant week and a half

401
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:55,879
Speaker 1: ago and it was packed, and I was like, not going,

402
00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 1: not going in. It was just jammed, congested. It's hard

403
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:01,040
Speaker 1: to social distance, and it looked like it was one

404
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:03,320
Speaker 1: of these low ceiling places and I'm like, there's a

405
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:05,840
Speaker 1: circulation And maybe I'm reading too much into it, But

406
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:07,800
Speaker 1: I'm staying away from that one and I'm going to

407
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:10,479
Speaker 1: be in more wide open spaces. And look, it's not

408
00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:14,360
Speaker 1: like I'm completely cocooning and limiting my exposure to everything,

409
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:17,760
Speaker 1: but you limit your reps, right, you limit the amount

410
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:21,000
Speaker 1: of exposure as you get with situations like that, and

411
00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:23,320
Speaker 1: you decrease the chances of testing positive. And that's how

412
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:28,080
Speaker 1: I feel personally. I gotta imagine they feel somewhat similarly.

413
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:30,040
Speaker 1: But some of the guys, they're young, guys, are gonna

414
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:32,359
Speaker 1: go out, They're gonna be around people, they have kids

415
00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:35,399
Speaker 1: in school. You have no protection against that virtually, and

416
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:37,120
Speaker 1: there you go. So I think it's a big deal

417
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 1: that Brady brought that up. Yeah, because a lot of

418
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:40,560
Speaker 1: times you might be exposed to someone you don't even

419
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:43,200
Speaker 1: know it, because people are asymptomatic. Right, Obviously, if you're sick,

420
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 1: you're not going to go out and about. But there's

421
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:46,920
Speaker 1: probably people walking amongst us that have COVID that don't

422
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 1: even know and you could unknowingly get sick. But the

423
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:52,200
Speaker 1: fact that we're tested every single week, we will know

424
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:56,360
Speaker 1: we have it. Have you sneezed in public anywhere? Oh,

425
00:19:56,359 --> 00:20:00,199
Speaker 1: you're not a sneezer. If I walk outside and I

426
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:02,560
Speaker 1: like smell the grass or something, or like some dust

427
00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:04,800
Speaker 1: gets in there, you know, you feel the urge to

428
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:08,560
Speaker 1: sneeze it, Oh my gosh. I feel like if I sneeze,

429
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:10,920
Speaker 1: I feel like they're gonna like get a body bag

430
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:14,560
Speaker 1: and like, you know, get rid of them. They're gonna

431
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:16,199
Speaker 1: pull up in a van and you know, get a

432
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:19,479
Speaker 1: big butterfly net and drag me away. I don't know.

433
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:22,280
Speaker 1: You just feel like I can't sneeze anywhere, and if

434
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:24,520
Speaker 1: I do, I'm just like gonna bury my face into

435
00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:26,879
Speaker 1: my shirt or something. I was at practice and I

436
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:28,920
Speaker 1: drink some water and it went down the wrong pipe

437
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:31,320
Speaker 1: and I started coughing, and I felt like I had

438
00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:34,399
Speaker 1: to explain to everybody around. Yes, it's water down the

439
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:36,119
Speaker 1: wrong pipe. It's water down the wrong It's also one

440
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:39,480
Speaker 1: hundred and three degrees outside, not COVID, not COVID. I

441
00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:42,600
Speaker 1: just don't know how to drink water because allergies, obviously

442
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:45,960
Speaker 1: in Houston, allergies are a huge thing. I love how

443
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:49,639
Speaker 1: the news reports you see. Allergies are really bad. Right

444
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:52,040
Speaker 1: The pollen is very bad right now? When is it good?

445
00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:56,720
Speaker 1: Pollen is always nasty and bad in Texas or Houston whatever.

446
00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:58,840
Speaker 1: I've never heard it, like, yeah, low pollen. You know,

447
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:01,960
Speaker 1: there's not really much pollen. Fright breathe, yes, like that,

448
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:03,960
Speaker 1: and so that means people are sneezing and everything, and

449
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:05,960
Speaker 1: I don't know. All right, Well, keep an eye on

450
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 1: wide receiver Anthony Miller. He could be active for Sunday's game.

451
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:11,760
Speaker 1: Head coach David Culley said the team would know more

452
00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:15,680
Speaker 1: about Miller's availability this Wednesday meeting tomorrow. He was actually

453
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:18,600
Speaker 1: dressed out yesterday mark for practice that they had in

454
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:22,639
Speaker 1: the stadium. A new number, which John Harris approves, and

455
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:25,480
Speaker 1: I actually approved it too, but for different reasons. He's

456
00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:27,560
Speaker 1: wearing the number three. I liked it because I just

457
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:30,200
Speaker 1: liked single digit numbers. I liked it when when offensive

458
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 1: players are wearing them. Johnny liked it because that was

459
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:35,200
Speaker 1: his college number. He said it just looked right on him.

460
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:37,320
Speaker 1: That was his number at Memphis. So I went back

461
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:39,720
Speaker 1: and I looked up Anthony. I said he warre number

462
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:41,800
Speaker 1: three at Memphis. Huh. So I went back and I looked,

463
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:43,960
Speaker 1: and sure enough, I was like, well, that's probably why

464
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:45,800
Speaker 1: he looks right. To John Harris, here's the question I

465
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:48,600
Speaker 1: have if Andre Johnson played now, would he go to

466
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:52,800
Speaker 1: number five which was his college number? Oh? He once

467
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:54,600
Speaker 1: signed something for me. I was like, can you sign

468
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:57,160
Speaker 1: this ball? It was a it was a Hurricane ball,

469
00:21:57,200 --> 00:21:59,400
Speaker 1: That's why he did this. Oh, and I couldn't really

470
00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:01,200
Speaker 1: read the number. I'm like, that is not an eighty.

471
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:03,520
Speaker 1: I don't know what that is. That scratch, but that's

472
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:05,840
Speaker 1: not an eighty. And then somebody said, oh, no, that's

473
00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:08,400
Speaker 1: a five. This is college number. I'm like, oh, yeah,

474
00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:11,399
Speaker 1: you signed your college Hurricane college star Hurricane gear. He

475
00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:13,680
Speaker 1: signs with it, Yeah, which makes perfect sense. I was

476
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 1: just being, you know, very ignorant. There were a couple

477
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:20,280
Speaker 1: of number changes yesterday in practice. DeMarcus Walker is fifty five. Yes,

478
00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:22,800
Speaker 1: thank you for bringing that up. Yeah, because I actually

479
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:25,440
Speaker 1: had to ask for a roster I was I thought,

480
00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:27,800
Speaker 1: am I am? I just like losing my mind. Guys

481
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:30,440
Speaker 1: are looking different. Yeah, And Terrence Brooks had a new

482
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:33,480
Speaker 1: number as well. Was that a single digit as well?

483
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:36,560
Speaker 1: For Brooks? Is he eight or something? Which was Buddy

484
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:39,760
Speaker 1: Howell in camp and Brooks was like in the thirties,

485
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:43,640
Speaker 1: he was twenty nine. Brooks was twenty nine. Mitchell's thirty nine.

486
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:46,720
Speaker 1: Or remember the new New DBS, I was categorizing the

487
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:50,520
Speaker 1: terences like, yeah, the terences were nine, So now Terence

488
00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:53,800
Speaker 1: Brooks eight. I gotta get it right. We gotta get

489
00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:55,399
Speaker 1: it right. But I do like Anthony Miller's at three.

490
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:57,800
Speaker 1: And hopefully we'll see what happens because now they actually

491
00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:00,760
Speaker 1: have to put out the participation report for practice now

492
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:02,160
Speaker 1: that we're in the regulars. Yeah, so you'll know if

493
00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:04,919
Speaker 1: guys are limited, you'll know if they're full, you'll know

494
00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:08,159
Speaker 1: what they look like in practice. Also, Marcus Kennon, all right,

495
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:10,240
Speaker 1: this is a big national story to Rod Taylor's a

496
00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:12,880
Speaker 1: starting quarterback of the Houston Texans. I mean, I feel

497
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:15,560
Speaker 1: like everywhere I look, it's it's like a headline. David

498
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:18,440
Speaker 1: Culley announced it yesterday. Actually, I think the reason why

499
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:22,879
Speaker 1: he announced it yesterday was because last week Tyrod was asked,

500
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:26,879
Speaker 1: have you been told you're the starting quarterback yet? Is that?

501
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:29,239
Speaker 1: Is that an official thing? Are we supposed to know that?

502
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:31,760
Speaker 1: And he said, no, no one's told me that I'm

503
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:34,400
Speaker 1: officially the starting quarterback. And David Culley said, actually, we've

504
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:37,080
Speaker 1: told no one their official starters yet. Other than the

505
00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:39,879
Speaker 1: fact that I've taken every starting rep in practice, actually

506
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:43,240
Speaker 1: has in. Mills has gotten some starters reps, but Taylor's

507
00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:46,480
Speaker 1: gotten the lion's share at ninety five percent or whatever

508
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:50,760
Speaker 1: it would be. And he started every preseason game, so well.

509
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:53,439
Speaker 1: Would have been interesting is preseason game four if you

510
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:56,560
Speaker 1: had one. I guess Mills would have started that because

511
00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:58,560
Speaker 1: they just want to see him play. They have to

512
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:01,720
Speaker 1: let him play. He needs the reps, needed the reps.

513
00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:05,280
Speaker 1: But now that you're in the regular season, it's Taylor's show. Yeah, absolutely,

514
00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:08,000
Speaker 1: all right. One final hot Raid Kentucky Sports Hall of

515
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:10,640
Speaker 1: Fame will induct it's twenty twenty one class tonight in Louisville.

516
00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:12,720
Speaker 1: One of those six inductees will be our very own

517
00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:16,440
Speaker 1: Romeo Cornell, Senior Advisor for Football Performance. That's his new rule.

518
00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:19,879
Speaker 1: He was a four year starter from Western Kentucky and

519
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:22,560
Speaker 1: team captain as a senior nineteen sixty nine. So congrats

520
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:25,359
Speaker 1: to Romeo Cornell who bolt out there in Louisville tonight.

521
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:28,640
Speaker 1: I'm so happy he's still in the building. He just yeah,

522
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:30,520
Speaker 1: he just looks good. He's back in the building. He

523
00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:32,320
Speaker 1: just I just am glad that even though we've had

524
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:34,800
Speaker 1: so much turnover on coaching and whatnot, that he's still here.

525
00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:39,720
Speaker 1: He's the nicest guy and he's so accomplished, and I

526
00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:42,239
Speaker 1: think it's wonderful for Cully. And I don't know if

527
00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:44,360
Speaker 1: he does this, but I would imagine it'll happen from

528
00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:46,560
Speaker 1: time to time if it hasn't already. Hey, coach, what

529
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:49,720
Speaker 1: about this situation? What about that situation? You'd love to

530
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:52,480
Speaker 1: have a guy if you're in Cully's shoes to lean

531
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:55,120
Speaker 1: on and just ask his opinion. You know, even if

532
00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:57,399
Speaker 1: you don't use it, you know it and it helps

533
00:24:57,440 --> 00:24:59,600
Speaker 1: you make a decision. Doesn't have an ego, but has

534
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:02,439
Speaker 1: had so much experience and lots to rely on. Rings.

535
00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:04,800
Speaker 1: Let's take a break, we come back. We let's get

536
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:06,800
Speaker 1: born to this Jacksonville game and what we think about

537
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:08,879
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence coming here on Sunday that's coming up, and

538
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 1: then we'll go around the league. Texans All Access is underway.

539
00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:15,000
Speaker 1: Don't go anywhere, Welcome back Texans all Access. We're talking

540
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:17,439
Speaker 1: about week one. We're talking about the Jags here at

541
00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:20,800
Speaker 1: NRG Stadium. Texans opening up their twenty twenty one season

542
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:23,600
Speaker 1: at home. Could not be more excited. And you know what, Mark,

543
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:25,199
Speaker 1: we were doing some hot reads. We actually have a

544
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:27,919
Speaker 1: transaction to get to want to get your thoughts on this.

545
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:31,320
Speaker 1: The Texans signed a kicker to their practice squad. Joey

546
00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:33,960
Speaker 1: Sly kicked for two years for the Panthers. He's in

547
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:37,800
Speaker 1: his third year. And then they waived defensive back Cornell Armstrong.

548
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:39,520
Speaker 1: So now we know what happened with Fairbairn. In the

549
00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:42,919
Speaker 1: third preseason game, he tweets something, well, well, he was

550
00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:45,639
Speaker 1: warming up his leg before the game, so he was

551
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:47,800
Speaker 1: fine all week. He was fine for the game. Then

552
00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:50,439
Speaker 1: something happened, and then I guess that as much as

553
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 1: they like Justin Reid, they just don't feel comfortable with

554
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:55,240
Speaker 1: Justin Reid being their backup kicker. Should kind of me

555
00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:58,760
Speaker 1: not go on, come on, you know I'd be offended

556
00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:01,960
Speaker 1: if I was Justin but I was aching for read to.

557
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:04,800
Speaker 1: I think if it was a blowout, if they were

558
00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:07,080
Speaker 1: leading by twenty and they had a field goal opportunity

559
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:09,000
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter, you let Justin Reid kick a

560
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:11,120
Speaker 1: field goal or try a field goal, I should say,

561
00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:13,120
Speaker 1: because it's easier, said that they were going to because

562
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:16,240
Speaker 1: because Coullie said, if we were if his range is

563
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:18,560
Speaker 1: about twenty four twenty four yards. So they said, if

564
00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:21,360
Speaker 1: we'd gotten about his range, they would have let him

565
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:23,200
Speaker 1: kick it. It just never they just went for it

566
00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:25,960
Speaker 1: on fourth down. They never quite got into his range,

567
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:27,359
Speaker 1: but I think they were going to let him do it.

568
00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:31,160
Speaker 1: But I'm trying to remember if they were, if there

569
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:32,600
Speaker 1: was any point in the game, well, I guess they

570
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:35,199
Speaker 1: were trailing so well in the first look, they were

571
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:38,040
Speaker 1: down seven nothing, They had a fourth and five at

572
00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:40,840
Speaker 1: the seven. I think it was they could have kicked

573
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:43,760
Speaker 1: right there, but they did anything they wanted to. They said, look,

574
00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:46,879
Speaker 1: the odds of fourth and five not great. The odds

575
00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:50,720
Speaker 1: of read making a kick not great either, and it's

576
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:53,080
Speaker 1: only worth three. Let's try to go for the big

577
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:56,520
Speaker 1: points here. You know that game, people read a lot

578
00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:59,359
Speaker 1: into those drives that the Patriots had, and I get it.

579
00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:01,480
Speaker 1: It's Tom Brady and he went hot knife through butter

580
00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:04,120
Speaker 1: on two ninety plus yard drive, second and third possession

581
00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:07,000
Speaker 1: of the game. What gotta noticed, I thought, was that

582
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:09,960
Speaker 1: the Texans had a ten minute drive against the starting

583
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:13,800
Speaker 1: defense eighteen plays ten minutes. I know they didn't finish

584
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:17,040
Speaker 1: the drive, and had they had the kicker, I think

585
00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:20,200
Speaker 1: the third down play call maybe changes because I think

586
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:22,080
Speaker 1: they ran it on third and five. They probably would

587
00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:23,119
Speaker 1: have thrown it. I don't know if they make it

588
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:24,399
Speaker 1: or not, but they would have kicked the field goal.

589
00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:26,119
Speaker 1: You're down seventy three. I'm not saying you win the

590
00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 1: game either, but that's the way they need to play

591
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:32,560
Speaker 1: as far as ten minutes eighteen plays. Signed me up

592
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:35,440
Speaker 1: for some of that. Hold the ball, matriculate the ball

593
00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:38,040
Speaker 1: down the field, let's go all right? So they signed

594
00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:43,200
Speaker 1: Joey Sly Are you doing? Hear the name Joey? You

595
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:46,040
Speaker 1: know what? I watched the Friends reunions. I watched the

596
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:48,679
Speaker 1: Friends reunion on HBO Max. Have you seen it? I actually,

597
00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:50,159
Speaker 1: you know what. I need to watch the reunion. I

598
00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:52,560
Speaker 1: remember when it came out the summer and I was

599
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:54,359
Speaker 1: I think it was right in the middle of summer,

600
00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:55,919
Speaker 1: and I thought I'll watch it, and I just now

601
00:27:56,000 --> 00:28:00,200
Speaker 1: I just saw. Yeah. I thought it was okay. I

602
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:01,880
Speaker 1: thought they could have done a little bit better job.

603
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:04,760
Speaker 1: It was interesting to see them all together again. First thought,

604
00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:08,760
Speaker 1: no one's getting younger. Me included, okay, them included all right,

605
00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:11,720
Speaker 1: but fine, all the money in the world and they've

606
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:14,840
Speaker 1: got it because they were getting a million per episode

607
00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:18,760
Speaker 1: each at the end the last few seasons, each a

608
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:21,840
Speaker 1: million per episode. They all fought for each other to

609
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 1: have the same amount of money. I remember that was

610
00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:25,480
Speaker 1: a big deal at the time. You know, they weren't

611
00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:27,480
Speaker 1: they were There was no superstar on that cast. They

612
00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:29,160
Speaker 1: felt like they all needed each other and they all

613
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:31,679
Speaker 1: fought for each other to get the same amount. Can

614
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:35,160
Speaker 1: you imagine that? And they're plugged into all the syndication stuff,

615
00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:39,600
Speaker 1: which has been voluminous. Shall we say? So good for them,

616
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:44,840
Speaker 1: But you know, money doesn't buy everything. You buy a

617
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:47,280
Speaker 1: catch phrase if you sign a kicker to your practice

618
00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:49,400
Speaker 1: squad and ever he should need to go. Even Mark

619
00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:52,560
Speaker 1: knows what the catch phrases from friends are. Yeah, all right,

620
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:56,120
Speaker 1: So we were talking about starting quarterback being Tyrod Taylor

621
00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:58,720
Speaker 1: for the Texans. Do you remember in training camp when

622
00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:01,800
Speaker 1: urban Meyer would not name starting quarterback and Gardner Minshew

623
00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:05,760
Speaker 1: said that that was his job. Yeah, comments about that.

624
00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:07,840
Speaker 1: It was a whole storyline that went on in camp,

625
00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:10,360
Speaker 1: and then of course Trevor Lawrence was named the starter.

626
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:12,960
Speaker 1: Gardner Minshew gets traded off to the Eagles for I

627
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:15,680
Speaker 1: think a six round pick and maybe a conditional five

628
00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:18,160
Speaker 1: depending on how much he plays. I asked J. P.

629
00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:21,040
Speaker 1: Chadwick about that today. What the deal was? I said,

630
00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:23,480
Speaker 1: what was he? Were they just trying to indoctrinate the

631
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:25,360
Speaker 1: Brookie like he has to play a little bit? Or

632
00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:27,640
Speaker 1: what was urban Meyer wanting to see something out of

633
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:30,240
Speaker 1: him he hadn't seen yet, and he made it seem

634
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:32,800
Speaker 1: like it was just sort of like they wanted he had.

635
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:35,040
Speaker 1: He'd had a deal with Gardner Minshew that I will

636
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:37,120
Speaker 1: let you have some reps of the ones, you will

637
00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:38,920
Speaker 1: let you be a part of this competition, because I

638
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:41,160
Speaker 1: think the writing was pretty much on the wall. But yeah,

639
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:43,400
Speaker 1: he won. Trevor Lawrence still won that job, even though

640
00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:45,360
Speaker 1: everyone thought it was his job to begin with. But

641
00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:47,320
Speaker 1: here he comes. They really like what he's done so

642
00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:49,840
Speaker 1: far in camp. What I think is really intriguing is

643
00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:53,240
Speaker 1: that he's really mobile. And they only have three running

644
00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:56,000
Speaker 1: backs on that roster. Where the Texans have five, the

645
00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:59,040
Speaker 1: Jabs only have three, two of which were former Texans.

646
00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:02,120
Speaker 1: Actually I should say three. They've got Carlos Hide. Do

647
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:05,560
Speaker 1: you remember Daria goombawalle Yes, he was on in practice squad.

648
00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:08,520
Speaker 1: Then they've got James Robinson, the undrafted that they signed,

649
00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:12,720
Speaker 1: Duke Johnson. They signed Duke Johnson to the practice squad. Hello, Yeah,

650
00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:15,760
Speaker 1: I didn't like that because I thought, well, you mentioned

651
00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:18,920
Speaker 1: the other guys and this Tim Kelly offense. It's not

652
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:23,560
Speaker 1: the full Bill O'Brien experience, but there's enough there, and

653
00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:25,640
Speaker 1: I'm thinking, are they picking the brain of Duke Johnson

654
00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:29,400
Speaker 1: and those guys who played for the Texans. I mean,

655
00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:32,000
Speaker 1: but I always get suspicious when somebody gets signed to

656
00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:35,200
Speaker 1: the practice squad that used to play for you recently.

657
00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:39,360
Speaker 1: And I'll be watching them closely, deeply to see if

658
00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:41,880
Speaker 1: and when they cut Duke Johnson from the practice squad,

659
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:44,360
Speaker 1: although he's there for a reason, obviously, they can lift

660
00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:46,920
Speaker 1: him up in a hurry. If I thought, I thought

661
00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:49,960
Speaker 1: because they had lost their other really high draft picked

662
00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:54,280
Speaker 1: Travis Etna. He had what Shob had that Liz Frank

663
00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:57,640
Speaker 1: Frank Liz Frank. Yes, he did Liz Frank injury. So

664
00:30:57,720 --> 00:30:59,560
Speaker 1: he's out. He's got to have surgery or he's had

665
00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:01,840
Speaker 1: surgery out for four months. And I thought that they

666
00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:04,880
Speaker 1: wanted somebody that was a pass catching back, and that's

667
00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:06,840
Speaker 1: pretty much what Duke Johnson is. Because you know what

668
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:09,200
Speaker 1: the practice squad rules. You can really elevate a guy

669
00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:12,120
Speaker 1: the day before. It's it's wonderful and that's so easy.

670
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:14,600
Speaker 1: That goes along with Joey Sly here in case fair

671
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:17,479
Speaker 1: Baron can't go, they can elevate him quickly, get him

672
00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:20,800
Speaker 1: on the roster and go they need obviously, you need

673
00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:23,640
Speaker 1: a kicker, so let's hope Fairbaron can play, though, that

674
00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:25,960
Speaker 1: would be the best thing for everybody. Although Sly has range,

675
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:28,120
Speaker 1: He's got a career long of fifty nine yards. I

676
00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:30,719
Speaker 1: wonder though, with preparation when you prepare for other teams,

677
00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:32,600
Speaker 1: I mean, that would be probably be too much if

678
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:34,720
Speaker 1: you have to start preparing for practice squad guys. Like

679
00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:37,080
Speaker 1: if somebody signs a big name player on the practice squad,

680
00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:39,520
Speaker 1: would you have to start preparing for that guy too,

681
00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:42,240
Speaker 1: thinking that they might be playing on game day. Depends

682
00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:45,840
Speaker 1: who it is, right I think, And if he's that good,

683
00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:48,200
Speaker 1: he's not available for your practice squad, he's gonna be

684
00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:50,479
Speaker 1: that much of a difference maker. Although Duke Johnson can

685
00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:52,400
Speaker 1: get it to a game and I'm not gonna say

686
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:54,720
Speaker 1: wreck the game for the defense, but he could certainly

687
00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:57,040
Speaker 1: make plays. We know this, but you know who he

688
00:31:57,200 --> 00:32:00,520
Speaker 1: is and you know that if they do elevate him.

689
00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:02,280
Speaker 1: All right, watch out, they're gonna throw the duke out

690
00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:05,640
Speaker 1: of the backfield whatever. Now as a practice squad player,

691
00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:09,160
Speaker 1: to your point, look, you could spend Wednesday, Thursday, Friday

692
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:12,719
Speaker 1: practicing as if you're starting, and they could decide not

693
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:15,600
Speaker 1: to start you or decide to start you, and we'll

694
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:17,320
Speaker 1: see how it goes. I'm not sure you have to

695
00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:21,800
Speaker 1: list those guys on the injury report, huh. I believe so.

696
00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:25,440
Speaker 1: I don't know, And a practice squad guy doesn't have

697
00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:28,040
Speaker 1: to be announced the same way. I'm thinking aloud as

698
00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:30,200
Speaker 1: we're talking here. But uh, you know, I think if

699
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:32,920
Speaker 1: anybody's that good, they're not available for the practice squad anyway.

700
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:35,400
Speaker 1: Not that Duke's not that good. He can make plays.

701
00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:39,120
Speaker 1: To account for a guy like that, yeah, probably, But

702
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:42,640
Speaker 1: I think you have to account for how the offense looks. Right,

703
00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:46,040
Speaker 1: And David Colley and Nick Kissaria were telling us that

704
00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:48,280
Speaker 1: you go back and you look at what they did

705
00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:50,840
Speaker 1: in the preseason. Yes, you do, look at the coordinators,

706
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:53,160
Speaker 1: you look at a little bit of Urban Meyer. You

707
00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:57,600
Speaker 1: know basically what all those things add up to. But

708
00:32:58,080 --> 00:32:59,800
Speaker 1: is the whole greater than the some of the parts

709
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:02,560
Speaker 1: away in Jacksonville, will they do something completely different. You've

710
00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:06,360
Speaker 1: seen Lawrence on tape this preseason and in college. Nick

711
00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:09,400
Speaker 1: Cassario said, you see how the game plays out. He said,

712
00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:12,280
Speaker 1: the game will declare itself in the first couple of possessions,

713
00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:14,720
Speaker 1: where yeah, you know what they are, they know what

714
00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:16,920
Speaker 1: you are. Are you playing well with them? And let

715
00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:19,320
Speaker 1: the game play out? You know, I wonder after having

716
00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:21,920
Speaker 1: those three preseason games what we saw from the Texans,

717
00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:23,280
Speaker 1: you know how much of that is going to carry

718
00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:24,960
Speaker 1: into the regular season because you have so many guys

719
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:28,240
Speaker 1: playing every single week. But the identity of this defense,

720
00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:31,280
Speaker 1: I think that's really what I'm wondering. The ten turnovers

721
00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:34,000
Speaker 1: in three games, more than what we had in twenty

722
00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:35,880
Speaker 1: You know, what does that look like when you put

723
00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:37,640
Speaker 1: in a regular season you put in all your starters

724
00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:39,280
Speaker 1: and then they were really playing full go Are you're

725
00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:42,920
Speaker 1: playing against starting you're playing against the starting offense too. Yeah? Look,

726
00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:44,760
Speaker 1: I think and we brought up Brady. You know what

727
00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:47,880
Speaker 1: he did in those two ninety plus yard drives. That's Brady, right,

728
00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:50,240
Speaker 1: he knows where to go with the football. You're playing

729
00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:53,480
Speaker 1: a preseason game. He really wanted to clear his throat

730
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:56,280
Speaker 1: there and get really warmed up and he did. I

731
00:33:56,320 --> 00:33:59,240
Speaker 1: think against a rookie quarterback or almost any other quarterback,

732
00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:03,240
Speaker 1: almost you'll be able to see a different situation there

733
00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:07,480
Speaker 1: where if they take another split second, a fraction of

734
00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:09,680
Speaker 1: a second to make a decision, maybe you're getting to

735
00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:12,080
Speaker 1: the quarterback, maybe you get to the receiver in coverage.

736
00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:14,400
Speaker 1: That was so quick what he was able to do

737
00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:16,920
Speaker 1: to the Texans. But I watched it again, I thought,

738
00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:19,919
Speaker 1: I mean, those windows all right, so guys were open,

739
00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:22,240
Speaker 1: but he knew where they were. You know, the holes

740
00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:25,400
Speaker 1: closed quickly if that fraction of a second is taken

741
00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:27,640
Speaker 1: to make that read. So I'm just hoping these guys

742
00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:31,560
Speaker 1: get enough pressure. And Andrea always says pressure is just

743
00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:34,359
Speaker 1: as good as, if not better than, sacks because you're

744
00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:37,960
Speaker 1: forcing Aaron throws turnovers potentially and things like that. You

745
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:41,600
Speaker 1: have the prospect of getting the ball picked off. And

746
00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:44,120
Speaker 1: you know, look with the sacks, Love, he's very clear

747
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:47,319
Speaker 1: about if you're going to sack the quarterback, make sure

748
00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:49,360
Speaker 1: you're trying to get the ball out on the way down.

749
00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:51,920
Speaker 1: You know, make sure that you're going for the football

750
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:56,360
Speaker 1: because the quarterback has the worst ball security on the team.

751
00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:58,080
Speaker 1: He really does, because he's got to he's got to

752
00:34:58,120 --> 00:34:59,640
Speaker 1: be able to throw the ball, so he's gonna hold

753
00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:02,239
Speaker 1: it like like an egg or whatever it is. So

754
00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:04,240
Speaker 1: we'll see how it goes. I know that the focus

755
00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:05,960
Speaker 1: on the turnovers has been a lot of fun. I

756
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:07,880
Speaker 1: just feel like now we're writing about We used to

757
00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:09,960
Speaker 1: write about takeaways. If somebody had a takeaway and gave you,

758
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:11,840
Speaker 1: write a story now and now now it's more like,

759
00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:13,640
Speaker 1: let's just wait till the end of the game. Yeah,

760
00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:15,360
Speaker 1: because if I write a story every time we have

761
00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:17,640
Speaker 1: a takeaway, you know, I mean sometimes we write stories,

762
00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:18,840
Speaker 1: there's gonna be a lot of stories that I know.

763
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:20,560
Speaker 1: Last year it was like we could have a whole

764
00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:23,480
Speaker 1: website devoted to every Jake. When JJ Watt had is

765
00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:25,600
Speaker 1: pick six on Thanksgiving Day, I mean, I think I

766
00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:28,080
Speaker 1: spent more time wondering what the title of that story

767
00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:30,600
Speaker 1: should be because it was like it was like a

768
00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:34,040
Speaker 1: smorgest board in a drought. I mean, it's natural television.

769
00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:36,480
Speaker 1: It was Thanksgiving, it was a pick six, you know,

770
00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:38,480
Speaker 1: and then you know it was JJ after a long

771
00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:40,839
Speaker 1: time getting a play like that. All right, let's take

772
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:42,840
Speaker 1: a break. We got one final segment. We're gonna go

773
00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:45,879
Speaker 1: around the league. This, Uh, there's a Thursday night game

774
00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:49,399
Speaker 1: speaking of Tom Brady big So that's that's a big deal.

775
00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:51,759
Speaker 1: I cannot believe that football is just forty eight hours away.

776
00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:53,640
Speaker 1: We're into some some of the top stories around the

777
00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:56,200
Speaker 1: league that's coming up. One final segment of Texans All

778
00:35:56,239 --> 00:35:59,080
Speaker 1: Access coming up. Welcome back, One final segment of Texans

779
00:35:59,120 --> 00:36:01,600
Speaker 1: All Access on a Tuesday. It's time we go around

780
00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:04,160
Speaker 1: the NFL as the NFL season's about to kick off

781
00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:07,680
Speaker 1: Thursday night. Dallas Cowboys Tampa Bay Buccaneers. I know everyone

782
00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:10,000
Speaker 1: is really excited about that game, especially when the schedule

783
00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:13,000
Speaker 1: came out. A little bit of news mark around the league.

784
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:15,640
Speaker 1: We were talking about COVID cases earlier and Tom Brady

785
00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:17,520
Speaker 1: talking about it because you know, Tom Brady had COVID

786
00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:21,040
Speaker 1: after the parade. That's what I've heard. Yes, I was like, wow,

787
00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:23,200
Speaker 1: the things that we've learned about Tom Brady. He had COVID,

788
00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:26,359
Speaker 1: he had knee surgery. I mean, he kept it very

789
00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:30,360
Speaker 1: mum throughout. Really, Brady, what we've learned is, don't believe

790
00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:33,400
Speaker 1: a word Brady says. I was kidding around. Look, it

791
00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:35,880
Speaker 1: wasn't his business, it was none of our business. That

792
00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:38,959
Speaker 1: he had COVID after that parade. I did wonder about

793
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:41,040
Speaker 1: that at the time. I'm thinking, this looks like a

794
00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:43,719
Speaker 1: super spread or type of event to me. And then

795
00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:46,600
Speaker 1: you saw him walking around arm in arm with players

796
00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:50,120
Speaker 1: at parties and things like that, whatever yourself. Super Bowl.

797
00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:52,160
Speaker 1: They'd won the Super Bowl, but they had it on

798
00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:55,200
Speaker 1: the river. I guess to stay away from crowd, but

799
00:36:55,280 --> 00:36:57,640
Speaker 1: I guess the boats were so crowded that, you know,

800
00:36:57,800 --> 00:36:59,400
Speaker 1: I was like, well, I don't really know if that

801
00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:01,440
Speaker 1: accomplished they wanted to accomplish, but it seemed like a

802
00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:04,560
Speaker 1: fun time. So are anyone on Thursday night the Dallas

803
00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:07,320
Speaker 1: Cowboys actually who the Bucks are playing. They're gonna be

804
00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:11,719
Speaker 1: without their Pro Bowl guard Zach Martin because he has

805
00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:14,840
Speaker 1: tested positive for COVID, although head coach Mike McCarthy not

806
00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:17,040
Speaker 1: quite ruling him out yet because he needs two negative

807
00:37:17,080 --> 00:37:20,160
Speaker 1: tests between now and Thursday's game. Ezekiel Elliott called Martin

808
00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:24,120
Speaker 1: their best offensive player. So that's high praise coming from

809
00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:26,799
Speaker 1: a running back of that stature. And you have Dak

810
00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:30,000
Speaker 1: Prescott making the big money now and Zach Martin's their

811
00:37:30,040 --> 00:37:33,359
Speaker 1: best player. That's really high praise right there. They got

812
00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:35,759
Speaker 1: a lot of talent on offense. Obviously, when they're all

813
00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:38,200
Speaker 1: out there healthy, you feel like they could probably move

814
00:37:38,239 --> 00:37:40,280
Speaker 1: the ball pretty well. But I don't know about at

815
00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:44,320
Speaker 1: Tampa right and Dominican Sue is back off the COVID

816
00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:46,279
Speaker 1: list on the FIP side, so then you've kind of

817
00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:48,640
Speaker 1: got that going against you as well. I saw just

818
00:37:48,719 --> 00:37:52,840
Speaker 1: a Twitter segment Stephen A. Smith, and I guess it

819
00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:54,880
Speaker 1: was with Irvin. Yeah, it must have been, because Michael

820
00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:58,840
Speaker 1: Irvin joined that show this week, and are you telling

821
00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:02,040
Speaker 1: me you're that concerned about a guard missing the game

822
00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:04,800
Speaker 1: and that's going to be the difference? And he was

823
00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:06,360
Speaker 1: just going on and on and about that. It was

824
00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:09,640
Speaker 1: pretty funny. Stephen Smith was saying that. Smith said that, Yeah,

825
00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:11,440
Speaker 1: well they were both trying to yell each other and

826
00:38:11,480 --> 00:38:13,920
Speaker 1: it's a yell fest. And look that's I guess that

827
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:17,040
Speaker 1: sells on that show. Look, I'll be rooting for the

828
00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:19,840
Speaker 1: Buccaneers again like I did in the Super Bowl. Okay,

829
00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:22,480
Speaker 1: this time is to crush the Dallas Cowboys, So please

830
00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:25,200
Speaker 1: do it. And you know it's funny with Dallas. You

831
00:38:25,239 --> 00:38:26,840
Speaker 1: know we've talked about this from time to time. I

832
00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:29,000
Speaker 1: kind of like Dak Prescott. I do but I don't

833
00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:30,759
Speaker 1: like the Cowboys and I want them to lose. I

834
00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:32,239
Speaker 1: do like a lot of the people who work there,

835
00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:34,600
Speaker 1: like Brad Sham and some of the other folks, right, Yeah,

836
00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:37,000
Speaker 1: but I want them to lose, so I'll be rooting

837
00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:38,520
Speaker 1: for them to lose. I was a little surprised that

838
00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:40,520
Speaker 1: that was the Thursday night game. You've got Tampa Bay.

839
00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:42,760
Speaker 1: I thought there's a lot of other opponents. But Dallas

840
00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:45,719
Speaker 1: really struggled last year. And yeah, but it's Prescott's coming

841
00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:48,279
Speaker 1: off an injury, you know, week one, Like, maybe you

842
00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:49,680
Speaker 1: might want to put that a little bit later in

843
00:38:49,680 --> 00:38:52,719
Speaker 1: the season. Why polarizing? Either want them to win or

844
00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:55,080
Speaker 1: it's like the Yankees. This is hard. Who do I

845
00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:57,640
Speaker 1: root against? Do I root against Tom Brady? Do I

846
00:38:57,719 --> 00:39:00,120
Speaker 1: root against the Dallas Cowboys? I don't know? Root against? You?

847
00:39:00,239 --> 00:39:02,879
Speaker 1: Root for Brady now? I'll tell you why. I don't,

848
00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:04,759
Speaker 1: like all out root for him. I'm not you know,

849
00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:06,799
Speaker 1: I'm not hanging up a Tom Brady poster in my

850
00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:10,719
Speaker 1: bedroom or anything like that. But I want Brady now

851
00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:12,360
Speaker 1: is the old guy to me, and he's in the

852
00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:15,680
Speaker 1: NFC where he can do no harm. Okay, So I

853
00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:18,800
Speaker 1: rooted for Brady during the playoffs last year we weren't

854
00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:20,520
Speaker 1: in it. It was like, go Brady because I didn't.

855
00:39:20,640 --> 00:39:23,000
Speaker 1: I didn't want to see Breeze win. I don't like

856
00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:25,759
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. Okay, I don't know what it is. I

857
00:39:25,800 --> 00:39:28,319
Speaker 1: just you don't like him. I like Matt Lafleur, you

858
00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:31,120
Speaker 1: know this, but I don't like Aaron Rodgers. And I

859
00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:33,439
Speaker 1: don't know. I rooted for Brady in that game, and

860
00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:36,319
Speaker 1: I think the old guy's status of Brady now and

861
00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:39,880
Speaker 1: he's been old for a while from NFL in NFL context,

862
00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:42,400
Speaker 1: but I was kind of pulling for him, which I

863
00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:45,920
Speaker 1: boggled my mind. You know how I hate the Patriots

864
00:39:46,080 --> 00:39:48,520
Speaker 1: so much, and I hated Brady with the Patriots. I

865
00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:52,200
Speaker 1: mean it was pure utter sports hatred. But Brady with

866
00:39:52,280 --> 00:39:55,200
Speaker 1: the Bucks, Bruce Arians, whatever, have a good time. You

867
00:39:55,280 --> 00:39:58,479
Speaker 1: separated him. He's no longer a Patriot, so he really

868
00:39:58,480 --> 00:40:01,759
Speaker 1: your Your beef was never with Brady to begin with. Yeah,

869
00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:04,480
Speaker 1: I guess it wasn't. It's anybody who plays for the Patriots.

870
00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:07,000
Speaker 1: I guess. You know. I had any Texans opponent and

871
00:40:07,040 --> 00:40:08,680
Speaker 1: we were you know, we played them every year. It

872
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:11,560
Speaker 1: feels like they're an unofficial division opponent. At this point,

873
00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:13,600
Speaker 1: I wanted him to win because I thought it would

874
00:40:13,719 --> 00:40:16,960
Speaker 1: it would answer the age old question of why did

875
00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:19,360
Speaker 1: the Patriots win all their super Bowls? Was because of

876
00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:21,640
Speaker 1: Bill belichicker was it because of Tom Brady? And I thought,

877
00:40:21,719 --> 00:40:23,600
Speaker 1: if Tom Brady goes to Super Bowl loses, we will

878
00:40:23,600 --> 00:40:25,960
Speaker 1: still not know the answer to that question. Whereas if

879
00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:27,759
Speaker 1: he goes to Super Bowl and wins, then no one

880
00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:29,560
Speaker 1: can ever question that again, and we can lay that

881
00:40:29,640 --> 00:40:32,520
Speaker 1: argument to rest. Well. I think Belichick's a hell of

882
00:40:32,560 --> 00:40:35,719
Speaker 1: a coach, taking nothing away from him, but the two

883
00:40:35,760 --> 00:40:38,840
Speaker 1: of them together, if one loses the other, it was

884
00:40:38,920 --> 00:40:41,520
Speaker 1: much easier for Brady to Of course, Brady gets to

885
00:40:41,560 --> 00:40:44,080
Speaker 1: pick where he goes, and he brought back Rob Gronkowski

886
00:40:44,120 --> 00:40:46,480
Speaker 1: and he went to Tampa Bay Buccaneers, which they had

887
00:40:46,520 --> 00:40:49,560
Speaker 1: a lot of great pieces. As it was, Belichick loses Brady,

888
00:40:49,600 --> 00:40:53,480
Speaker 1: and you know, they struggled mightily. I think it's funny

889
00:40:53,480 --> 00:40:56,000
Speaker 1: because people think that this is Patriot culture here, it's

890
00:40:56,080 --> 00:40:57,960
Speaker 1: very different from what they have. I mean, there might

891
00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:01,120
Speaker 1: be some elements, but for instance, what we do, we'd

892
00:41:01,120 --> 00:41:04,880
Speaker 1: never be as close to the players in this environment,

893
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:07,960
Speaker 1: especially COVID as we are now there's no way the

894
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:12,200
Speaker 1: Patriots are letting their internal media people circulate the way

895
00:41:12,239 --> 00:41:14,480
Speaker 1: we do. I know the guys, and believe me, they

896
00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:18,200
Speaker 1: are on the outside with a huge wall and a

897
00:41:18,360 --> 00:41:21,239
Speaker 1: do not enter sign all the time. I mean for

898
00:41:21,280 --> 00:41:24,160
Speaker 1: the last two three decades. Yeah. I think someone made

899
00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:26,239
Speaker 1: the joke that during training camp you can't play me

900
00:41:26,280 --> 00:41:30,320
Speaker 1: if you play music really loudly, you can't film a practice,

901
00:41:30,400 --> 00:41:32,719
Speaker 1: like if you work for the organization, And so someone

902
00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:34,839
Speaker 1: joke that, you know, Bill Belichick's probably gonna play loud

903
00:41:34,920 --> 00:41:38,120
Speaker 1: music throughout all of practice, so no internally can film

904
00:41:38,120 --> 00:41:40,400
Speaker 1: any well even some of the other media because they

905
00:41:40,440 --> 00:41:43,800
Speaker 1: have music licensing issues as well. Yeah. I don't know

906
00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:45,080
Speaker 1: if they did that. I just I just heard the

907
00:41:45,160 --> 00:41:46,920
Speaker 1: joke and I thought it was funny. All right, Well,

908
00:41:46,960 --> 00:41:48,960
Speaker 1: we've got Texans replay coming up in a little bit.

909
00:41:49,040 --> 00:41:51,399
Speaker 1: John Harris is going to do some masterful work sort

910
00:41:51,400 --> 00:41:52,920
Speaker 1: of get you caught up to speed. I know no

911
00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:54,840
Speaker 1: games have happened yet in the regular season, but I

912
00:41:54,880 --> 00:41:56,760
Speaker 1: think he's going to bring you some really great plays

913
00:41:56,760 --> 00:41:58,400
Speaker 1: I think from the preseason right mark to get you

914
00:41:58,400 --> 00:42:01,120
