WEBVTT - Stroud Strong Again as Jayden Higgins Stars on August 5 | Texans All Access, Aug. 5

0:00:00.120 --> 0:00:01.800
<v Speaker 1>Stepping everybody. Welcome to Wednesday.

0:00:01.800 --> 0:00:06.800
<v Speaker 2>Theytion of Texans All Access from the Hyundai Texans Radio studio,

0:00:07.000 --> 0:00:10.000
<v Speaker 2>John Harris alongside the Voice of the Texans, Mark vandermir

0:00:10.520 --> 0:00:16.360
<v Speaker 2>and third day straight in pads in the heat day

0:00:16.400 --> 0:00:20.400
<v Speaker 2>off tomorrow. But Mark was another good day all around. Look,

0:00:20.440 --> 0:00:24.079
<v Speaker 2>there were some moments where the defense just went off.

0:00:24.960 --> 0:00:28.000
<v Speaker 2>There were some moments when the offense looked absolutely brilliant.

0:00:28.360 --> 0:00:31.280
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna give you my hair sits harrisits are up

0:00:31.360 --> 0:00:34.479
<v Speaker 2>at Houston Texas dot Com. I don't know how many

0:00:34.520 --> 0:00:36.519
<v Speaker 2>times I could say this, so I gotta think of

0:00:36.520 --> 0:00:37.360
<v Speaker 2>a different way to say this.

0:00:38.360 --> 0:00:41.879
<v Speaker 1>But outside of a team period, the middle team period, that.

0:00:41.840 --> 0:00:45.160
<v Speaker 2>Did not look so good for the offense. For the offense, Yeah,

0:00:45.600 --> 0:00:52.720
<v Speaker 2>Quarterback CJ. Stroud has been absolute nails. He has been outstanding, outstanding.

0:00:52.840 --> 0:00:53.920
<v Speaker 3>That was the headline.

0:00:54.080 --> 0:00:54.680
<v Speaker 1>That was headline.

0:00:54.920 --> 0:00:56.600
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, Yeah, that was the headline. Today was my favorite

0:00:56.640 --> 0:00:59.880
<v Speaker 3>day because today, in a two minute situation, Stroud was

0:01:00.000 --> 0:01:02.080
<v Speaker 3>as good as you'd want him to be. So they

0:01:02.080 --> 0:01:05.240
<v Speaker 3>got ambrouble and then he finds Higgins on a third

0:01:05.240 --> 0:01:08.600
<v Speaker 3>and fourteen quick throw so nobody could get to him.

0:01:09.040 --> 0:01:13.320
<v Speaker 3>Quick throw over the middle and Higgins was open because

0:01:13.440 --> 0:01:18.200
<v Speaker 3>Higgins is a freaking beast. Johnny, if you just showed up,

0:01:18.640 --> 0:01:22.760
<v Speaker 3>dropped from outer space into Texans training camp today and

0:01:22.800 --> 0:01:27.120
<v Speaker 3>you said, what do you think of these guys, you'd say,

0:01:27.120 --> 0:01:29.199
<v Speaker 3>and you didn't know anybody, you'd say that eighty one

0:01:29.440 --> 0:01:32.600
<v Speaker 3>is a freaking beast. He's awesome. That is a monster

0:01:32.720 --> 0:01:37.360
<v Speaker 3>out there. He's getting open, he's mossing people, he's making plays.

0:01:37.360 --> 0:01:39.399
<v Speaker 3>All right, Mosling might be a little too dramatic, but

0:01:39.640 --> 0:01:42.000
<v Speaker 3>the point is this. I've said it before. He's gonna

0:01:42.040 --> 0:01:44.440
<v Speaker 3>have a big year. Today did nothing to sway me

0:01:44.520 --> 0:01:47.880
<v Speaker 3>from that opinion. It's been reinforced. I can't wait to

0:01:47.920 --> 0:01:50.840
<v Speaker 3>see more. He is an absolutely crucial part of this

0:01:50.880 --> 0:01:54.880
<v Speaker 3>thing because you have Nico obviously, and you have Higgins.

0:01:54.920 --> 0:01:57.880
<v Speaker 3>There are both huge targets. They're a big problem for

0:01:58.000 --> 0:02:02.240
<v Speaker 3>even this defense. So if the protection holds up, even

0:02:02.280 --> 0:02:05.280
<v Speaker 3>for this defense, these guys are an issue for that

0:02:05.360 --> 0:02:06.600
<v Speaker 3>back end to deal with.

0:02:07.800 --> 0:02:12.880
<v Speaker 2>There were moments, so Nico did not practice today, Tank

0:02:13.160 --> 0:02:16.160
<v Speaker 2>did have the pads on, did go through some individual stuff,

0:02:16.320 --> 0:02:18.880
<v Speaker 2>so took part in that. So it was great to see.

0:02:19.560 --> 0:02:21.760
<v Speaker 2>We got excited when saw him in the pads. Didn't

0:02:21.760 --> 0:02:22.920
<v Speaker 2>know how much he was gonna do, But it was

0:02:22.919 --> 0:02:25.520
<v Speaker 2>just good to see him do something out of the

0:02:25.520 --> 0:02:27.919
<v Speaker 2>field with the full receiver allotment.

0:02:27.960 --> 0:02:29.520
<v Speaker 1>But it was not the full receiver allotments, you.

0:02:29.480 --> 0:02:33.400
<v Speaker 2>Know, Jaalen Knowles stillump up, tank is still limited coming

0:02:33.440 --> 0:02:38.600
<v Speaker 2>back and Nico was out when Jayden Higgins needed a rest,

0:02:38.840 --> 0:02:41.360
<v Speaker 2>and they were an eleven personnel in those in the

0:02:41.440 --> 0:02:45.000
<v Speaker 2>situations you talked about the two minute situations, there was

0:02:45.040 --> 0:02:48.120
<v Speaker 2>a receiving crew of Justin Watson, Jared Wayne and at

0:02:48.160 --> 0:02:50.480
<v Speaker 2>times Josh Kelly. Those are the three receivers you have

0:02:50.480 --> 0:02:54.000
<v Speaker 2>in a field. It didn't matter shroud through dimes. I mean,

0:02:54.040 --> 0:02:56.639
<v Speaker 2>he'd have pressure in his face, he'd stand and deliver.

0:02:56.680 --> 0:03:00.000
<v Speaker 2>He threw a fastball at one point.

0:02:59.720 --> 0:03:00.880
<v Speaker 1>I gotta look at my.

0:03:00.840 --> 0:03:03.680
<v Speaker 2>Notes because he threw a fastball at one point on

0:03:03.720 --> 0:03:06.519
<v Speaker 2>a throw that I didn't think there was any way

0:03:06.960 --> 0:03:12.120
<v Speaker 2>that he was getting that ball to anybody because he

0:03:12.240 --> 0:03:13.720
<v Speaker 2>kind of was he was kind of flat footed.

0:03:13.760 --> 0:03:15.960
<v Speaker 1>He really didn't have time or.

0:03:15.960 --> 0:03:18.960
<v Speaker 2>Space to step into the throat, so he literally was

0:03:19.160 --> 0:03:22.040
<v Speaker 2>just you know, it's like taking a baseball swing with

0:03:22.400 --> 0:03:25.359
<v Speaker 2>just you know, your feet locked in place, right, and

0:03:25.560 --> 0:03:28.280
<v Speaker 2>he zipped one across the middle, and I thought, oh

0:03:28.320 --> 0:03:32.800
<v Speaker 2>my god, that it was to Watson. It was ripped.

0:03:33.040 --> 0:03:35.440
<v Speaker 2>Was it Watson or maybe maybe in Higgins. Eighty four

0:03:35.480 --> 0:03:37.119
<v Speaker 2>looks like eighty one, so I think it was eighty one.

0:03:37.920 --> 0:03:40.040
<v Speaker 2>And Higgins was kind of working his way in the

0:03:40.040 --> 0:03:43.960
<v Speaker 2>middle of the field, and CJ amongst all the trees

0:03:44.000 --> 0:03:49.560
<v Speaker 2>and everybody rushing him, just flat foot ripped fastball right.

0:03:49.440 --> 0:03:50.560
<v Speaker 1>Between eight and one.

0:03:50.920 --> 0:03:54.600
<v Speaker 2>I just I'm standing on the side of the field

0:03:54.640 --> 0:03:56.240
<v Speaker 2>where the defense was, so I felt kind of bad,

0:03:56.240 --> 0:03:58.000
<v Speaker 2>but I'm down away from the defense, and I just

0:03:58.080 --> 0:04:00.760
<v Speaker 2>in my back of my mind, I'm like, crap, And

0:04:00.800 --> 0:04:02.400
<v Speaker 2>I said out loud, great ball.

0:04:02.240 --> 0:04:04.160
<v Speaker 1>Seven, because it was. It was just a tremendous throw.

0:04:04.440 --> 0:04:06.040
<v Speaker 1>But he did that all throughout the day.

0:04:06.640 --> 0:04:10.360
<v Speaker 2>All throughout the day, he was hitting those throws, touch

0:04:10.400 --> 0:04:11.680
<v Speaker 2>throws perfect.

0:04:12.560 --> 0:04:15.200
<v Speaker 1>The ripped fastball was perfect. He'd have to get rid

0:04:15.240 --> 0:04:17.120
<v Speaker 1>of the ball was perfect.

0:04:17.560 --> 0:04:20.440
<v Speaker 2>He was as good as he was as good at a

0:04:20.480 --> 0:04:21.800
<v Speaker 2>two minute drill as I can remember.

0:04:22.120 --> 0:04:22.920
<v Speaker 1>Because the throws.

0:04:23.240 --> 0:04:25.520
<v Speaker 2>There were a couple of throws like that one where

0:04:25.800 --> 0:04:28.320
<v Speaker 2>I think in previous years the pressure was just too much.

0:04:28.320 --> 0:04:30.120
<v Speaker 2>He just kind of pull it down and kind of

0:04:30.160 --> 0:04:32.560
<v Speaker 2>jogged through as if the player was over today.

0:04:33.480 --> 0:04:36.280
<v Speaker 1>It was not like that. He ripped them to the sidelines.

0:04:37.000 --> 0:04:39.760
<v Speaker 2>I thought maybe his best throw was one actually that

0:04:39.839 --> 0:04:41.320
<v Speaker 2>Kaylen Bullock had to make a play on.

0:04:41.880 --> 0:04:44.120
<v Speaker 1>They ran Josh Kelly down a seam. He was in

0:04:44.160 --> 0:04:45.400
<v Speaker 1>a slot, ran down a seam.

0:04:45.839 --> 0:04:50.960
<v Speaker 2>CJ. He didn't quite throw a three ball, you know,

0:04:51.080 --> 0:04:52.919
<v Speaker 2>one balls laser to two is kind of in the

0:04:52.920 --> 0:04:54.720
<v Speaker 2>middle three as kind of you lofted. He was kind

0:04:54.720 --> 0:04:57.400
<v Speaker 2>of between the two and three and just laid it

0:04:57.520 --> 0:04:58.919
<v Speaker 2>right on Josh Kelly.

0:04:59.200 --> 0:05:01.320
<v Speaker 3>And it was a complete That was because of Bullock

0:05:01.720 --> 0:05:02.839
<v Speaker 3>and a completion.

0:05:02.560 --> 0:05:05.599
<v Speaker 2>That probably happens if Hawk is not back there. But

0:05:06.200 --> 0:05:08.080
<v Speaker 2>you know that wing span and that speed, he was

0:05:08.120 --> 0:05:09.960
<v Speaker 2>able to get back there and disrupt Kelly and he

0:05:09.960 --> 0:05:10.839
<v Speaker 2>couldn't hang out in the pass.

0:05:11.040 --> 0:05:12.800
<v Speaker 3>Kelly had a nice practice otherwise.

0:05:12.440 --> 0:05:14.560
<v Speaker 1>But Kelly had a great the one handed catch, that

0:05:14.600 --> 0:05:16.359
<v Speaker 1>one hand catcher. Sweet, he's got talent.

0:05:16.560 --> 0:05:18.239
<v Speaker 2>That's what happens. We talk about this all the time.

0:05:18.520 --> 0:05:22.239
<v Speaker 2>You know you've got a good squad when take a position.

0:05:22.240 --> 0:05:24.760
<v Speaker 2>I don't care in this case receivers Jala no out

0:05:24.839 --> 0:05:28.560
<v Speaker 2>Tank not practicing full yet, Nico not practicing at all.

0:05:29.160 --> 0:05:32.360
<v Speaker 2>So everybody moves up a slot. Everybody moves up a spot,

0:05:32.600 --> 0:05:34.440
<v Speaker 2>and you got to take some reps the ones if

0:05:34.480 --> 0:05:36.680
<v Speaker 2>you've been taking him with the two's, and Josh Kelly

0:05:36.720 --> 0:05:39.440
<v Speaker 2>took some of those and he made a brilliant one

0:05:39.480 --> 0:05:42.479
<v Speaker 2>handed catch today. Lewis Bond not even a chance to

0:05:42.480 --> 0:05:44.120
<v Speaker 2>watch one on ones, but I saw a couple of.

0:05:46.120 --> 0:05:48.520
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I saw it. Oh my, I saw it.

0:05:48.640 --> 0:05:49.120
<v Speaker 4>I mean.

0:05:50.760 --> 0:05:52.280
<v Speaker 1>That dude could play. Yeah.

0:05:52.480 --> 0:05:53.880
<v Speaker 3>And it was a great throat, it was a.

0:05:53.800 --> 0:05:55.880
<v Speaker 2>Great throw and it was a I mean it was

0:05:56.240 --> 0:05:59.120
<v Speaker 2>top right in a bucket. Lewis catches it, gets both

0:05:59.120 --> 0:06:01.440
<v Speaker 2>feet down. You come out to practice and you see

0:06:01.440 --> 0:06:04.440
<v Speaker 2>eighty two and eighty five and we've been talking about

0:06:04.440 --> 0:06:06.479
<v Speaker 2>those receivers, and it's going to be really tough for

0:06:06.600 --> 0:06:09.560
<v Speaker 2>either one of those guys to end up making the

0:06:09.640 --> 0:06:12.279
<v Speaker 2>fifty three man roster because it's so loaded at wide receiver,

0:06:12.520 --> 0:06:15.039
<v Speaker 2>especially once Tank is back full and Jalen Nole's back.

0:06:15.200 --> 0:06:16.680
<v Speaker 1>It's tough for anybody to make that.

0:06:16.960 --> 0:06:20.120
<v Speaker 2>But eighty two and eighty five are making a serious

0:06:20.160 --> 0:06:22.520
<v Speaker 2>bid for it. Lewis Bond and Josh Kelly, I mean,

0:06:22.560 --> 0:06:23.800
<v Speaker 2>catching everything.

0:06:24.000 --> 0:06:27.760
<v Speaker 3>It's so disappointing that Nol has the finger issue because

0:06:28.080 --> 0:06:30.599
<v Speaker 3>you want to see NOL out here in these situations.

0:06:30.640 --> 0:06:33.559
<v Speaker 3>You know, this is great competition. Today they went long.

0:06:33.960 --> 0:06:37.719
<v Speaker 3>They started early. Yeah, not getting out there earlier, but

0:06:37.720 --> 0:06:38.960
<v Speaker 3>they got out of the bubble earlier.

0:06:39.720 --> 0:06:41.000
<v Speaker 1>Feel for a long time.

0:06:41.040 --> 0:06:43.240
<v Speaker 3>Well, I just know this. They're never in team before

0:06:43.240 --> 0:06:45.400
<v Speaker 3>the show's over, right, right, right right, And they were

0:06:45.400 --> 0:06:47.360
<v Speaker 3>in team today before the show was over. I'm thinking

0:06:47.400 --> 0:06:49.320
<v Speaker 3>I missing the team right now. Team is eleven on

0:06:49.360 --> 0:06:51.919
<v Speaker 3>eleven and I need to see that. That's what I

0:06:51.960 --> 0:06:53.880
<v Speaker 3>love to see most. I mean, you like watching the

0:06:53.960 --> 0:06:57.560
<v Speaker 3>intricacies and special teams practice, and that's your problem, Yeah,

0:06:57.600 --> 0:07:00.040
<v Speaker 3>but I want to see team. And I love the

0:07:00.120 --> 0:07:02.960
<v Speaker 3>individual as well. I mean the one on ones. They

0:07:03.200 --> 0:07:06.920
<v Speaker 3>did not do one on ones prior to yesterday. That

0:07:07.000 --> 0:07:09.480
<v Speaker 3>was the first time they didn't put on ones this camp, correct,

0:07:09.600 --> 0:07:11.200
<v Speaker 3>And I do like the one on ones. It's such

0:07:11.240 --> 0:07:14.360
<v Speaker 3>an unfair advantage for the receiver and the quarter because

0:07:14.360 --> 0:07:16.760
<v Speaker 3>it's one on one. I'm not throwing it anywhere else.

0:07:16.800 --> 0:07:20.040
<v Speaker 3>I'm throwing it to you and they have to blow

0:07:20.040 --> 0:07:22.080
<v Speaker 3>the whistle or do something. Hey, that would have been

0:07:22.120 --> 0:07:24.760
<v Speaker 3>a sack. You ran out of time because the longer

0:07:24.800 --> 0:07:26.800
<v Speaker 3>you wait, you have four seconds you're gonna get the

0:07:26.840 --> 0:07:30.760
<v Speaker 3>guy open, but how long can the dB hold in coverage?

0:07:30.760 --> 0:07:33.040
<v Speaker 3>The throat to bond was as good as it gets.

0:07:33.160 --> 0:07:34.840
<v Speaker 3>Look it wasn't all perfect. You mentioned one of the

0:07:34.840 --> 0:07:37.760
<v Speaker 3>team periods defense blowing up everything. This defense is going

0:07:37.840 --> 0:07:40.280
<v Speaker 3>to do that, and this is true. Iron sharpens iron.

0:07:40.280 --> 0:07:44.720
<v Speaker 3>Today two minute situation, Stroud looked like a master. I

0:07:44.760 --> 0:07:48.800
<v Speaker 3>mean he was the maestro that he's capable of being.

0:07:49.160 --> 0:07:51.080
<v Speaker 3>And that's what you want to see. A couple of

0:07:51.080 --> 0:07:54.680
<v Speaker 3>throws to X today, especially one in the two minute situation,

0:07:55.200 --> 0:07:58.880
<v Speaker 3>was terrific. We've been saying on target, on target, running

0:07:58.920 --> 0:08:01.120
<v Speaker 3>some kind of out and the ball is only where

0:08:01.160 --> 0:08:03.400
<v Speaker 3>he can get it. He gets it. I saw Ex

0:08:03.440 --> 0:08:05.760
<v Speaker 3>in the hallway earlier, dapped them up, said you were

0:08:05.760 --> 0:08:06.320
<v Speaker 3>fun to watch.

0:08:06.360 --> 0:08:06.720
<v Speaker 4>Man.

0:08:07.120 --> 0:08:09.960
<v Speaker 3>X is making the most of this sure availability of

0:08:10.040 --> 0:08:12.520
<v Speaker 3>reps in the receiving corps with you said Tank out

0:08:12.560 --> 0:08:15.280
<v Speaker 3>and EGO sitting out today and no NOL. But I

0:08:15.320 --> 0:08:16.880
<v Speaker 3>want to see Noel out there. Look, we all want

0:08:16.880 --> 0:08:18.160
<v Speaker 3>to see Tank. I get it, I get it, I

0:08:18.200 --> 0:08:21.200
<v Speaker 3>get it. But NOL is a very key building block

0:08:21.280 --> 0:08:23.560
<v Speaker 3>here in this receiver group. However, they do have a

0:08:23.560 --> 0:08:25.960
<v Speaker 3>lot of bodies and to your point. They're getting the

0:08:25.960 --> 0:08:28.440
<v Speaker 3>reps and in these preseason games, these are the guys

0:08:28.440 --> 0:08:30.640
<v Speaker 3>who are gonna play. These guys are gonna play a ton.

0:08:30.800 --> 0:08:32.439
<v Speaker 3>We're gonna watch them. You're gonna be in the booths

0:08:32.480 --> 0:08:35.040
<v Speaker 3>for TV. I'll be with Andre on the radio and

0:08:35.040 --> 0:08:37.480
<v Speaker 3>we'll be talking about these guys. But I gotta see. No,

0:08:37.600 --> 0:08:39.200
<v Speaker 3>we got to get them back, and I'm hoping it's

0:08:39.280 --> 0:08:41.040
<v Speaker 3>within a week or two, so you can get him

0:08:41.080 --> 0:08:44.240
<v Speaker 3>some good practice before week one because he has to

0:08:44.280 --> 0:08:46.040
<v Speaker 3>make that year one to year two jump. He was

0:08:46.080 --> 0:08:49.200
<v Speaker 3>really good last year returning catching want to see more,

0:08:49.400 --> 0:08:49.960
<v Speaker 3>let's get it.

0:08:50.520 --> 0:08:52.480
<v Speaker 1>So in the thirteen period, this is the one that

0:08:52.480 --> 0:08:52.920
<v Speaker 1>stood out.

0:08:53.040 --> 0:08:54.800
<v Speaker 2>And then I want to get to something else that

0:08:55.040 --> 0:08:57.920
<v Speaker 2>I saw that gave me gona be really excited. First

0:08:57.960 --> 0:09:00.959
<v Speaker 2>play on the two minute situation down twenty one to

0:09:01.000 --> 0:09:02.880
<v Speaker 2>twenty I think it was two minutes. They put on

0:09:02.880 --> 0:09:05.560
<v Speaker 2>a clock. They at one time it was like yeah,

0:09:05.600 --> 0:09:09.560
<v Speaker 2>something like that. So first play CJ. Hits Haig on

0:09:09.600 --> 0:09:13.200
<v Speaker 2>the out route, come back, beautiful throw completion. Second one,

0:09:13.720 --> 0:09:17.000
<v Speaker 2>next play fifty one room that play, yeah, I mean

0:09:17.120 --> 0:09:18.760
<v Speaker 2>he's he's gonna do that.

0:09:18.800 --> 0:09:20.000
<v Speaker 3>But there was a penalty in there too.

0:09:20.080 --> 0:09:23.320
<v Speaker 2>Right, there might have been, but that that was definitely

0:09:23.360 --> 0:09:25.920
<v Speaker 2>a sack. So third play, that's the seam shot that

0:09:26.040 --> 0:09:28.800
<v Speaker 2>he threw that Stroud through to Josh Kelly. That block

0:09:28.840 --> 0:09:31.040
<v Speaker 2>made a great play on, but it's a great throw.

0:09:31.280 --> 0:09:33.760
<v Speaker 2>So now it's third down. That's the one he rips

0:09:33.840 --> 0:09:36.200
<v Speaker 2>the fastball to Higgins across the middle.

0:09:36.640 --> 0:09:39.160
<v Speaker 1>Then he hits Hutch yep on that throw.

0:09:39.240 --> 0:09:41.360
<v Speaker 3>What was the next one after that then, because I

0:09:41.360 --> 0:09:42.199
<v Speaker 3>think they spiked it.

0:09:42.240 --> 0:09:44.240
<v Speaker 1>They spiked it to stop the clock because they got

0:09:44.280 --> 0:09:44.840
<v Speaker 1>the first down.

0:09:45.240 --> 0:09:48.160
<v Speaker 2>Then on the sideline with seventeen seconds left, he throws

0:09:48.200 --> 0:09:48.720
<v Speaker 2>that back.

0:09:48.520 --> 0:09:49.839
<v Speaker 1>Shoulder ball to Foster Morow.

0:09:50.400 --> 0:09:53.480
<v Speaker 3>That's the one that was a beautiful because that made

0:09:53.520 --> 0:09:56.040
<v Speaker 3>it a chip shot as opposed to a long field.

0:09:56.080 --> 0:09:56.400
<v Speaker 1>That's right.

0:09:56.520 --> 0:09:58.439
<v Speaker 3>The one to Hutch put him in range for fair bench,

0:09:58.480 --> 0:10:00.920
<v Speaker 3>that's right. I can't remember these act yardage, but it

0:10:00.960 --> 0:10:02.960
<v Speaker 3>was still like we could use a little more.

0:10:03.040 --> 0:10:06.160
<v Speaker 2>We're gonna get to Emmy in a second, okay, So

0:10:06.200 --> 0:10:07.760
<v Speaker 2>it's the backshop of ball to Foste.

0:10:07.840 --> 0:10:08.680
<v Speaker 1>I put them in position.

0:10:08.679 --> 0:10:11.360
<v Speaker 2>Now they had thirteen seconds left there or no ten

0:10:11.400 --> 0:10:13.719
<v Speaker 2>seconds left, and they had a timeout so they could

0:10:13.760 --> 0:10:15.640
<v Speaker 2>take a show. So they ran Montgomery into the middle

0:10:15.679 --> 0:10:18.520
<v Speaker 2>line just to burn clock. Called the timeout or spiked it,

0:10:18.559 --> 0:10:21.760
<v Speaker 2>can't remember. Then Kyami hit the field goal from forty

0:10:22.040 --> 0:10:25.160
<v Speaker 2>and I wrote this best I've seen. Number seven did

0:10:25.200 --> 0:10:29.000
<v Speaker 2>it without all his wide receivers, Tank Nico Nol and

0:10:29.000 --> 0:10:31.560
<v Speaker 2>then I put Higgins. Higgins had to catches up front,

0:10:31.960 --> 0:10:33.920
<v Speaker 2>but the last few downs he didn't have Higg in there.

0:10:33.960 --> 0:10:35.960
<v Speaker 2>Higg was was out those last two three plays.

0:10:36.040 --> 0:10:36.839
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, why was that?

0:10:36.880 --> 0:10:37.160
<v Speaker 1>I don't know.

0:10:37.200 --> 0:10:39.120
<v Speaker 2>I think it was just rotation stuff. I just think

0:10:39.120 --> 0:10:41.000
<v Speaker 2>they were rotating guys in. I think that was im

0:10:41.040 --> 0:10:43.559
<v Speaker 2>c G. I'm thinking eighty one, eighty one. I got

0:10:43.800 --> 0:10:47.000
<v Speaker 2>eighty one already. Can we order from the eighty one menu?

0:10:47.080 --> 0:10:49.559
<v Speaker 2>There's no twelve. I need eighty one. I need six

0:10:49.600 --> 0:10:51.400
<v Speaker 2>to four out there. Here's the other note that I

0:10:52.040 --> 0:10:55.400
<v Speaker 2>put in here, And it was right before the spike

0:10:55.880 --> 0:10:58.000
<v Speaker 2>because I was on the I was on the other

0:10:58.080 --> 0:11:02.160
<v Speaker 2>side from the fans, that is the left offensive side.

0:11:02.360 --> 0:11:05.240
<v Speaker 2>That really was the first I should say it's the

0:11:05.240 --> 0:11:09.560
<v Speaker 2>first time because he's done it before, but for consecutive plays,

0:11:09.600 --> 0:11:12.440
<v Speaker 2>Arianta Ursery is slowing down will Anderson junior one on one.

0:11:13.080 --> 0:11:15.760
<v Speaker 2>It's the first time I've seen it like consecutive plays

0:11:15.760 --> 0:11:18.520
<v Speaker 2>like that, seeing them a lot, and I'm telling you,

0:11:18.640 --> 0:11:22.360
<v Speaker 2>Ursery was on it and it just goes to show.

0:11:22.400 --> 0:11:24.400
<v Speaker 2>And we've talked about this. There's you know, it's like

0:11:24.440 --> 0:11:26.840
<v Speaker 2>basketball players. You're getting rhythm. You know, your offense gets

0:11:26.840 --> 0:11:28.480
<v Speaker 2>in a rhythm. It feels like everything works.

0:11:28.760 --> 0:11:28.960
<v Speaker 3>Sure.

0:11:29.080 --> 0:11:32.120
<v Speaker 2>You know, backdoor cuts are perfect, you know the threes

0:11:32.160 --> 0:11:35.360
<v Speaker 2>are going down. You know, pull up elbow jumpers are happening.

0:11:35.679 --> 0:11:37.640
<v Speaker 2>That's the way it felt. It felt like the offense

0:11:37.720 --> 0:11:39.720
<v Speaker 2>was in sync. Now, that was after a period that

0:11:39.720 --> 0:11:43.080
<v Speaker 2>they got stuffed in period two, so they came back

0:11:43.640 --> 0:11:45.480
<v Speaker 2>and got it right in in period three.

0:11:45.600 --> 0:11:47.480
<v Speaker 1>On the team periods at that point.

0:11:47.720 --> 0:11:51.680
<v Speaker 2>But one of the problems in not only the first group,

0:11:51.960 --> 0:11:57.760
<v Speaker 2>but the second group was number ninety. There were uh,

0:11:58.760 --> 0:12:00.560
<v Speaker 2>let me see it was in the was the second

0:12:00.559 --> 0:12:05.120
<v Speaker 2>group right, ninety was in for like four straight plays

0:12:05.880 --> 0:12:07.840
<v Speaker 2>and oh yeah, here we go. No, it was right

0:12:07.880 --> 0:12:12.640
<v Speaker 2>after that two minute drill. Okay, so Davis comes on

0:12:12.640 --> 0:12:15.600
<v Speaker 2>the field. He hits, He hits Marlin clown on the flat,

0:12:15.720 --> 0:12:19.240
<v Speaker 2>then Clowny with ghosts move to dip under seventy seven

0:12:19.800 --> 0:12:25.720
<v Speaker 2>forces incompletion forty great rush. He ended up hitting as

0:12:25.760 --> 0:12:29.480
<v Speaker 2>he rushed. He ended up hitting Donnie Robinson right as

0:12:29.520 --> 0:12:32.480
<v Speaker 2>they were both converging on Mills, but at forced Mills

0:12:32.720 --> 0:12:36.000
<v Speaker 2>to throw the ball away ninety again, third straight time.

0:12:36.040 --> 0:12:42.240
<v Speaker 2>He got to the quarterback. Finally Clowney went out and

0:12:42.280 --> 0:12:43.959
<v Speaker 2>then he had time to throw, but then nobody was

0:12:43.960 --> 0:12:46.040
<v Speaker 2>open because the secondary was there. Clowney had three straight

0:12:46.080 --> 0:12:50.479
<v Speaker 2>plays where he threw three different moves. Mark one was

0:12:50.480 --> 0:12:52.920
<v Speaker 2>was he did a sweite move, got on the hands

0:12:52.920 --> 0:12:55.360
<v Speaker 2>a trent. The other one was a ghast move where

0:12:55.440 --> 0:12:59.000
<v Speaker 2>you you dip, you dip to basically ghost yourself on Miller.

0:12:59.080 --> 0:13:01.280
<v Speaker 2>On Miller made that possible. The guy sixty six and

0:13:01.320 --> 0:13:03.240
<v Speaker 2>he's doing a ghost move, and then one he just

0:13:03.320 --> 0:13:07.280
<v Speaker 2>kind of powered through. Clowney was an absolute Mennace today.

0:13:07.320 --> 0:13:09.920
<v Speaker 2>You know, it's interesting because he looked like twenty four,

0:13:10.160 --> 0:13:11.880
<v Speaker 2>like fourteen before with the injury.

0:13:11.920 --> 0:13:14.439
<v Speaker 3>It looks like there's zero drop off from he was

0:13:14.480 --> 0:13:17.840
<v Speaker 3>a young man. None in these instances. Now you know

0:13:17.920 --> 0:13:20.320
<v Speaker 3>you have to play him sixty snaps. That might be different,

0:13:20.360 --> 0:13:22.800
<v Speaker 3>but you're not gonna have to do that. So I'm

0:13:22.800 --> 0:13:26.840
<v Speaker 3>looking at Will and Daneil and they're specimens. There's something

0:13:26.880 --> 0:13:29.760
<v Speaker 3>about Clowney though, because of the height and the hair too,

0:13:29.800 --> 0:13:34.960
<v Speaker 3>probably child, but the height where he's just massive out there.

0:13:35.480 --> 0:13:41.080
<v Speaker 3>He's a massive human being, so long, so fast, and

0:13:41.200 --> 0:13:44.560
<v Speaker 3>to have him on this football team. Look, it's been

0:13:44.600 --> 0:13:47.160
<v Speaker 3>really good here. I love Derek Barnett. I'm not taking

0:13:47.160 --> 0:13:49.439
<v Speaker 3>anything away from him. I will forever be grateful for

0:13:49.520 --> 0:13:51.400
<v Speaker 3>dead Shot. Who knows, maybe he ends up here. He

0:13:51.480 --> 0:13:54.360
<v Speaker 3>might end up here too, Mike Mario bat over the weekend.

0:13:54.960 --> 0:13:58.080
<v Speaker 3>So I love dead Shot Derek Barnett, but we got

0:13:58.120 --> 0:14:02.240
<v Speaker 3>to Dewon Clowney and we have willing Jadevion Clowney. First day,

0:14:02.320 --> 0:14:03.199
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, I'm in pads.

0:14:03.240 --> 0:14:03.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm out there.

0:14:03.960 --> 0:14:06.720
<v Speaker 3>Second day, I'm in pads that I'm making plays. And

0:14:06.800 --> 0:14:09.400
<v Speaker 3>now the vander kidd Won was here today and I

0:14:09.480 --> 0:14:11.480
<v Speaker 3>was watching the remainder of practice with him and he

0:14:11.520 --> 0:14:15.280
<v Speaker 3>said he's like his dad bubble Wrap. He said, Dad

0:14:15.360 --> 0:14:18.480
<v Speaker 3>bubble Wrap. Everybody, let's just get to the season because

0:14:19.160 --> 0:14:22.360
<v Speaker 3>you have something so special here with all this talent.

0:14:22.680 --> 0:14:24.440
<v Speaker 3>And yeah, you still have to go through all the

0:14:24.520 --> 0:14:29.440
<v Speaker 3>preseason games and iron sharpens, iron training camp practices and everything. Dang, yeah,

0:14:29.480 --> 0:14:32.720
<v Speaker 3>I'm telling you. Coach Vandermer says, we're ready in two

0:14:32.760 --> 0:14:33.880
<v Speaker 3>weeks for the regular season.

0:14:33.960 --> 0:14:39.680
<v Speaker 2>Let's go the thing about adding Clowning and adding a

0:14:39.680 --> 0:14:43.960
<v Speaker 2>guy like Logan Hall in free agency. Those guys can

0:14:44.000 --> 0:14:48.440
<v Speaker 2>play any of the defensive line positions, so you automatically

0:14:48.600 --> 0:14:53.840
<v Speaker 2>with those two just present, you have an opportunity to

0:14:53.880 --> 0:14:58.080
<v Speaker 2>play whoever you want together. Because Logan can play inside,

0:14:58.120 --> 0:14:59.800
<v Speaker 2>Clowny can hold his own against.

0:14:59.520 --> 0:15:00.760
<v Speaker 1>The guard we see today.

0:15:00.840 --> 0:15:05.440
<v Speaker 2>Johnny, you can move everybody everywhere all the time. And then,

0:15:05.600 --> 0:15:07.080
<v Speaker 2>by the way, if you want to bring heat off

0:15:07.160 --> 0:15:09.120
<v Speaker 2>the edge, Jalen Petree is one of the better blitzers

0:15:09.160 --> 0:15:13.120
<v Speaker 2>there is in the NFL. Like it's Matt Burke is

0:15:13.120 --> 0:15:15.920
<v Speaker 2>probably up in his office right now going okay, I

0:15:15.960 --> 0:15:19.520
<v Speaker 2>can only play eleven guys at once. It's unbelievable to

0:15:19.560 --> 0:15:22.520
<v Speaker 2>watch the different combinations that can that can roll into

0:15:22.560 --> 0:15:26.560
<v Speaker 2>the game and do the things that that they can do.

0:15:26.800 --> 0:15:31.320
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it's it's absolutely fascinating. And final note this

0:15:31.600 --> 0:15:34.320
<v Speaker 2>just in Kymie fairbearn Badass.

0:15:34.160 --> 0:15:36.720
<v Speaker 3>Oh my gosh, Badass knocked everything down today.

0:15:36.800 --> 0:15:39.240
<v Speaker 2>He hit two from sixty plus. Yeah, it was and

0:15:39.640 --> 0:15:41.560
<v Speaker 2>absolutely money. The first one he hit it would have

0:15:41.560 --> 0:15:42.480
<v Speaker 2>been good from seventy.

0:15:42.520 --> 0:15:43.440
<v Speaker 1>I think I was.

0:15:43.440 --> 0:15:45.960
<v Speaker 3>Looking at it. He one of the bombed it because

0:15:46.120 --> 0:15:48.440
<v Speaker 3>I was in the north end zone and so it's

0:15:48.480 --> 0:15:50.360
<v Speaker 3>hard to tell where it was. But I just looked

0:15:50.360 --> 0:15:54.520
<v Speaker 3>at the logo in midfield. I'm thinking, dang bombed. This

0:15:54.720 --> 0:15:58.960
<v Speaker 3>is far and he just smokes it. So he's ready

0:15:59.280 --> 0:16:02.360
<v Speaker 3>for the regular seat and he's mid season form. A

0:16:02.400 --> 0:16:04.680
<v Speaker 3>lot of guys are, A lot of guys are. Look,

0:16:04.720 --> 0:16:07.200
<v Speaker 3>the offense still needs to work on it. We all

0:16:07.200 --> 0:16:09.240
<v Speaker 3>know that, no doubt. Montgomery had a run today where

0:16:09.280 --> 0:16:11.560
<v Speaker 3>the hole was you could have driven a truck through it.

0:16:12.040 --> 0:16:14.960
<v Speaker 3>That was beautiful as well. Look, they are getting some

0:16:15.080 --> 0:16:17.920
<v Speaker 3>good gains on offense. The two minute situation good, a

0:16:17.960 --> 0:16:21.280
<v Speaker 3>lot of positives. Not everything perfect. This is pretty much

0:16:22.000 --> 0:16:24.120
<v Speaker 3>the best you could ask for at this point. You know,

0:16:24.200 --> 0:16:27.640
<v Speaker 3>not everybody's perfectly healthy, but so far, so good. Knock wood,

0:16:27.800 --> 0:16:29.120
<v Speaker 3>knock on, whatever you want to knock on.

0:16:29.280 --> 0:16:31.600
<v Speaker 2>Make sure you check out houst Texans dot com. Harris

0:16:31.800 --> 0:16:34.680
<v Speaker 2>hits from day seven at practice are up all right.

0:16:34.680 --> 0:16:35.960
<v Speaker 1>Albert Breer joined us.

0:16:36.360 --> 0:16:36.520
<v Speaker 5>Well.

0:16:36.560 --> 0:16:38.000
<v Speaker 2>I was only there for a little bit because one

0:16:38.040 --> 0:16:39.400
<v Speaker 2>on ones are going on. I had to go see him,

0:16:39.400 --> 0:16:40.840
<v Speaker 2>but we had a great time talking to Albert. He's

0:16:40.880 --> 0:16:43.600
<v Speaker 2>next right here in Texas All Access. All right, welcome

0:16:43.600 --> 0:16:47.040
<v Speaker 2>back this Wednesday issue a Texans All Access from the

0:16:47.080 --> 0:16:50.600
<v Speaker 2>Texans Radio studio. I'm your host, Sean Harris, football analyst,

0:16:50.680 --> 0:16:53.240
<v Speaker 2>sideline reporter for your Houston Texans.

0:16:53.240 --> 0:16:54.360
<v Speaker 1>Those Texans will have.

0:16:54.640 --> 0:16:58.840
<v Speaker 2>An off day tomorrow and everybody needs it now, Mark

0:16:58.880 --> 0:17:01.360
<v Speaker 2>and I will still be working. We got Texas training

0:17:01.360 --> 0:17:04.000
<v Speaker 2>camp live from eight to ten. But Harris hits get

0:17:04.040 --> 0:17:06.800
<v Speaker 2>a day off. The team gets a day off. Coaches

0:17:06.800 --> 0:17:09.480
<v Speaker 2>will come in and do some work, I'm sure, but

0:17:09.760 --> 0:17:11.760
<v Speaker 2>the team will have the day off on Thursday, get

0:17:11.800 --> 0:17:14.480
<v Speaker 2>back to it Friday, and then have an evening practice

0:17:14.880 --> 0:17:17.320
<v Speaker 2>on Saturday before in their day off on Sunday, which

0:17:17.560 --> 0:17:19.360
<v Speaker 2>I am looking forward two.

0:17:19.880 --> 0:17:22.120
<v Speaker 1>For a number of different reasons.

0:17:22.160 --> 0:17:25.280
<v Speaker 2>We are moving ever so closely to the first preseason

0:17:25.359 --> 0:17:27.240
<v Speaker 2>game of the year against the Los Angeles.

0:17:27.000 --> 0:17:30.280
<v Speaker 1>Chargers eight days eight.

0:17:30.840 --> 0:17:33.520
<v Speaker 2>That's amazing to say that we're eight days away from

0:17:33.520 --> 0:17:35.920
<v Speaker 2>the first preseason game of the year.

0:17:35.960 --> 0:17:36.239
<v Speaker 5>All right.

0:17:36.280 --> 0:17:40.040
<v Speaker 2>Albert Breer does a lot in the media space MMQB

0:17:40.240 --> 0:17:43.320
<v Speaker 2>Sports Illustrated. He's been around, he's been doing this for

0:17:43.359 --> 0:17:46.119
<v Speaker 2>a while. He joined us this morning.

0:17:46.160 --> 0:17:46.280
<v Speaker 4>Now.

0:17:46.320 --> 0:17:48.040
<v Speaker 2>I took off at some point because I had to

0:17:48.080 --> 0:17:50.000
<v Speaker 2>go watch one on ones. We had a good talk

0:17:50.160 --> 0:17:53.080
<v Speaker 2>with Albert Breer and started right here when I asked

0:17:53.160 --> 0:17:57.639
<v Speaker 2>him about his travels looking at teams throughout the league.

0:17:57.720 --> 0:17:59.719
<v Speaker 2>When you get a chance to get out and see

0:18:00.080 --> 0:18:03.159
<v Speaker 2>other teams other than obviously the Patriots, what's it like

0:18:03.200 --> 0:18:05.520
<v Speaker 2>for you? What do you kind of go into it with, like, Hey,

0:18:05.520 --> 0:18:07.760
<v Speaker 2>I've got these three storylines that I want to follow.

0:18:07.880 --> 0:18:09.360
<v Speaker 6>How do you go into I mean, like, I think,

0:18:09.480 --> 0:18:11.840
<v Speaker 6>you know, my job is to cover all thirty two

0:18:11.880 --> 0:18:14.120
<v Speaker 6>And I tell people it's like what yould like, what's

0:18:14.160 --> 0:18:17.040
<v Speaker 6>the gist of your job? The way like I deliver

0:18:17.320 --> 0:18:20.919
<v Speaker 6>the content is different in different places, obviously, but I

0:18:20.920 --> 0:18:21.920
<v Speaker 6>think the gist of it is to.

0:18:21.880 --> 0:18:23.040
<v Speaker 4>Know what's going on, you know.

0:18:23.080 --> 0:18:26.000
<v Speaker 6>And I know that sounds simple, but it's being able

0:18:26.080 --> 0:18:29.080
<v Speaker 6>to anticipate things. And that can only be done if

0:18:29.119 --> 0:18:32.439
<v Speaker 6>you have relationships. And so you know, for me, like

0:18:32.520 --> 0:18:35.400
<v Speaker 6>these stops, every one of these stops is more about

0:18:35.480 --> 0:18:38.119
<v Speaker 6>seeing people than it is about producing any sort of

0:18:38.119 --> 0:18:39.160
<v Speaker 6>piece of content now.

0:18:39.080 --> 0:18:39.560
<v Speaker 4>If I can.

0:18:40.119 --> 0:18:44.200
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, you know, and like obviously we all have jobs

0:18:44.240 --> 0:18:46.119
<v Speaker 6>to do, and we all you know, it's not just

0:18:46.200 --> 0:18:48.080
<v Speaker 6>my job to go and glad hand and all of

0:18:48.119 --> 0:18:50.240
<v Speaker 6>that but so I have to, you know, I have

0:18:50.320 --> 0:18:52.520
<v Speaker 6>to give them some content. But the main thing for

0:18:52.640 --> 0:18:55.600
<v Speaker 6>me is just, you know, maintaining my network. And you know,

0:18:55.600 --> 0:18:58.520
<v Speaker 6>for years it was building the network. It's still I

0:18:58.840 --> 0:19:01.640
<v Speaker 6>still try to as many new relationships as I can,

0:19:01.720 --> 0:19:04.520
<v Speaker 6>but you know, when you get twenty years into doing this,

0:19:04.600 --> 0:19:06.840
<v Speaker 6>a big part of it's maintaining them as well, because

0:19:06.840 --> 0:19:09.240
<v Speaker 6>you've built a lot of them. So, yeah, this is

0:19:10.240 --> 0:19:11.840
<v Speaker 6>Camp number ten for me. You guys are right at

0:19:11.840 --> 0:19:15.360
<v Speaker 6>the turn. I have eighteen in eighteen days, and then

0:19:16.240 --> 0:19:18.360
<v Speaker 6>I'll go home for that first full weekend of preseason

0:19:18.440 --> 0:19:20.800
<v Speaker 6>games and then back out again and I usually.

0:19:20.600 --> 0:19:22.320
<v Speaker 4>Try to get to about three quarters of the league.

0:19:22.359 --> 0:19:24.280
<v Speaker 3>What's the best team you've seen so far?

0:19:24.359 --> 0:19:25.240
<v Speaker 4>Albert Seattle?

0:19:26.560 --> 0:19:30.000
<v Speaker 6>You know, I just think when you watch them practice,

0:19:30.720 --> 0:19:32.760
<v Speaker 6>and I don't know, I haven't seen the first episode

0:19:32.760 --> 0:19:36.320
<v Speaker 6>of Hard Knocks yet, so but like you just you

0:19:36.400 --> 0:19:40.160
<v Speaker 6>see why they're as good as they are. You see

0:19:40.880 --> 0:19:43.320
<v Speaker 6>that fourteen wins was not a fluke. You see that

0:19:43.359 --> 0:19:45.240
<v Speaker 6>winning the Super Bowl was not a fluke. They beat

0:19:45.240 --> 0:19:48.560
<v Speaker 6>the Rams at the end of the regular season to

0:19:49.119 --> 0:19:51.000
<v Speaker 6>clinch home field advantage, and they beat the Rams again

0:19:51.040 --> 0:19:53.000
<v Speaker 6>in the NFC Championship game in a game where I

0:19:53.000 --> 0:19:55.560
<v Speaker 6>think Matthew Stafford may have played the best quarterback game

0:19:55.560 --> 0:19:59.720
<v Speaker 6>by anybody all year. So I think what sticks out

0:19:59.720 --> 0:20:02.880
<v Speaker 6>to me just seeing Seattle in person, And it hit

0:20:02.960 --> 0:20:04.720
<v Speaker 6>me when I was I was up close with their

0:20:04.720 --> 0:20:08.480
<v Speaker 6>defensive ends and Aden Derdet, who's their defensive coordinator, was

0:20:08.840 --> 0:20:12.800
<v Speaker 6>running a drill on the sled and they lost a

0:20:12.880 --> 0:20:15.680
<v Speaker 6>defensive end, boy Mafey to Cincinnati, who got twenty million

0:20:15.720 --> 0:20:16.480
<v Speaker 6>dollars per year.

0:20:17.280 --> 0:20:19.280
<v Speaker 4>And yet there's.

0:20:19.000 --> 0:20:22.879
<v Speaker 6>DeMarcus Lawrence and chenna Uosu, Derek Hall who was one

0:20:22.880 --> 0:20:25.399
<v Speaker 6>of the heroes of the Super Bowl, Dante Fallon, Like

0:20:25.400 --> 0:20:27.240
<v Speaker 6>they're four deep at a position where they lost a

0:20:27.240 --> 0:20:31.600
<v Speaker 6>twenty million dollar player. Right, It's just they have it rolling,

0:20:31.840 --> 0:20:35.680
<v Speaker 6>and it's just a really well put together team.

0:20:35.920 --> 0:20:36.719
<v Speaker 4>I mean the organize.

0:20:36.720 --> 0:20:40.359
<v Speaker 6>I think John Schneider is, if not the best general

0:20:40.400 --> 0:20:43.000
<v Speaker 6>manager of the last quarter century. He's like high, high

0:20:43.119 --> 0:20:46.320
<v Speaker 6>high on that list. And you can see it, you know,

0:20:46.359 --> 0:20:48.080
<v Speaker 6>you can see it. It was no Fluke, you know, I

0:20:48.119 --> 0:20:50.159
<v Speaker 6>know a lot of people thought they came out of nowhere.

0:20:50.200 --> 0:20:51.880
<v Speaker 4>That was no Fluke. They're gonna be really good again.

0:20:51.960 --> 0:20:53.520
<v Speaker 2>No, we saw them on Monday night last year and

0:20:53.520 --> 0:20:55.960
<v Speaker 2>we got on a bus after that game and I

0:20:56.000 --> 0:20:57.200
<v Speaker 2>told Mark that same thing. I was like, this is

0:20:57.200 --> 0:20:58.720
<v Speaker 2>the best team and they didn't play well against us.

0:20:58.760 --> 0:21:01.439
<v Speaker 2>I mean, Saam turned it over the h and we

0:21:01.480 --> 0:21:03.600
<v Speaker 2>stayed in it because of that. But it was not

0:21:03.800 --> 0:21:05.520
<v Speaker 2>that was the one team all year we had no

0:21:05.880 --> 0:21:07.760
<v Speaker 2>we had no shot against. One person who didn't mention

0:21:07.840 --> 0:21:11.119
<v Speaker 2>is Mike McDonald's now in third years a coach. I

0:21:11.160 --> 0:21:13.000
<v Speaker 2>saw one of the snippets from Hard Knocks. I was like, okay,

0:21:13.040 --> 0:21:15.879
<v Speaker 2>I could I could see. But from his standpoint, he's

0:21:15.880 --> 0:21:18.680
<v Speaker 2>only been there three years, but got that defense, got

0:21:18.720 --> 0:21:19.800
<v Speaker 2>him right where it needed to be.

0:21:19.840 --> 0:21:21.600
<v Speaker 1>Where he talks about Mike McDonald's, I mean he's.

0:21:21.520 --> 0:21:24.399
<v Speaker 6>Brought elite in a lot of like different ways, like

0:21:24.440 --> 0:21:27.920
<v Speaker 6>an elite teacher, an elite coach, an elite game planner,

0:21:29.119 --> 0:21:31.160
<v Speaker 6>and just so comfortable in his own skin. I think

0:21:31.200 --> 0:21:33.640
<v Speaker 6>that's something that will come across when people watch the show.

0:21:33.840 --> 0:21:37.080
<v Speaker 6>You know, it's just I mean, you guys know, you

0:21:37.080 --> 0:21:39.160
<v Speaker 6>guys are around these guys enough. Like the one thing

0:21:39.280 --> 0:21:43.280
<v Speaker 6>that it's weird. I've said before, I feel like the

0:21:43.320 --> 0:21:45.800
<v Speaker 6>one thing, like most football players have in common, they

0:21:45.840 --> 0:21:48.520
<v Speaker 6>all come from different backgrounds. Some of them are smarter

0:21:48.600 --> 0:21:51.240
<v Speaker 6>than others, some of our better athletes than others. They

0:21:51.280 --> 0:21:54.359
<v Speaker 6>all have like an incredible BS meter. I don't know why,

0:21:54.400 --> 0:21:56.399
<v Speaker 6>but they all can see through BS right, and they

0:21:56.400 --> 0:21:58.560
<v Speaker 6>can see when somebody's not trying to when somebody's trying

0:21:58.600 --> 0:21:59.879
<v Speaker 6>to be something other than themselves.

0:22:00.560 --> 0:22:02.040
<v Speaker 4>And you know, like so to me.

0:22:02.080 --> 0:22:04.000
<v Speaker 6>Like that's the baseline of being a head coach, and

0:22:04.920 --> 0:22:07.359
<v Speaker 6>are you comfortable in your own skin? Can you project

0:22:07.720 --> 0:22:11.840
<v Speaker 6>in a way that's authentically yourself? And Mike's just really

0:22:11.880 --> 0:22:14.560
<v Speaker 6>really good at it, you know, and you know, obviously

0:22:14.600 --> 0:22:16.840
<v Speaker 6>coming up under the Harbas there are some tenants of

0:22:16.880 --> 0:22:19.400
<v Speaker 6>the Harbaugh program there the two and a half hour

0:22:19.440 --> 0:22:22.600
<v Speaker 6>practices they do, like you know, and there's different philosophies

0:22:22.640 --> 0:22:24.160
<v Speaker 6>of this, but they do a lot of their corrections

0:22:24.160 --> 0:22:25.960
<v Speaker 6>on the field, right, like, which is why they have

0:22:26.119 --> 0:22:30.679
<v Speaker 6>longer practices. But there's also like loud music in the

0:22:30.720 --> 0:22:33.120
<v Speaker 6>meeting room and there's like so there's like stuff that

0:22:33.280 --> 0:22:35.600
<v Speaker 6>like is authentically him.

0:22:35.720 --> 0:22:38.280
<v Speaker 4>Wow, And so he just has like I think.

0:22:38.200 --> 0:22:39.919
<v Speaker 6>A really good feel for what it takes to be

0:22:40.200 --> 0:22:41.240
<v Speaker 6>a really great head coach.

0:22:41.320 --> 0:22:44.120
<v Speaker 3>Albert Breer with us Okay, two things about the Texans,

0:22:44.160 --> 0:22:47.640
<v Speaker 3>your thirty forty thousand foot view on the team and

0:22:48.119 --> 0:22:51.000
<v Speaker 3>this defense and the defense plus Clowny.

0:22:51.080 --> 0:22:54.040
<v Speaker 6>So I think my thirty thousand foot view on the

0:22:54.080 --> 0:22:56.119
<v Speaker 6>team is you know, I I've.

0:22:56.000 --> 0:22:57.200
<v Speaker 4>Brought this up to a few people.

0:22:57.280 --> 0:23:00.400
<v Speaker 6>I still have this stuck in my head for last

0:23:00.480 --> 0:23:04.880
<v Speaker 6>year watching the Monday night playoff game on ESPN and

0:23:05.320 --> 0:23:08.159
<v Speaker 6>Aaron Rodgers checking the ball down to Jalen Warren and

0:23:08.200 --> 0:23:10.600
<v Speaker 6>you know, I got the big screen up in my

0:23:10.920 --> 0:23:13.959
<v Speaker 6>up on the wall in my house, and Jalen Warren

0:23:14.119 --> 0:23:17.760
<v Speaker 6>was all alone on the screen and like you could

0:23:17.760 --> 0:23:22.000
<v Speaker 6>have like snapped your fingers and there were three Navy

0:23:22.080 --> 0:23:25.280
<v Speaker 6>helmets like on him, and it was just you saw

0:23:25.359 --> 0:23:28.040
<v Speaker 6>like how Demiko had like just not even like with

0:23:28.200 --> 0:23:31.359
<v Speaker 6>great athletes they are, but how hard they play, and

0:23:31.440 --> 0:23:33.440
<v Speaker 6>so like I think you see that across the board.

0:23:33.480 --> 0:23:35.760
<v Speaker 6>And I think a big part of cleaning out the

0:23:35.760 --> 0:23:38.600
<v Speaker 6>offensive line room two years ago was they felt like

0:23:38.600 --> 0:23:40.199
<v Speaker 6>they had a culture problem in that room and they

0:23:40.200 --> 0:23:43.720
<v Speaker 6>wanted to match the culture that they had on defense

0:23:43.760 --> 0:23:47.800
<v Speaker 6>on offense, and so they bring in Keelan Rutledge, they

0:23:47.800 --> 0:23:51.679
<v Speaker 6>bring in Wyatt Teller, and I think the idea is

0:23:51.800 --> 0:23:54.040
<v Speaker 6>we want to have the same identity on offense that

0:23:54.080 --> 0:23:57.880
<v Speaker 6>we have on defense. And I from what I understand,

0:23:57.920 --> 0:24:00.800
<v Speaker 6>it's starting to show up like that, the offenses starting

0:24:00.800 --> 0:24:03.520
<v Speaker 6>to play the defense to a stack and they're not

0:24:03.600 --> 0:24:04.800
<v Speaker 6>backing down to them.

0:24:05.119 --> 0:24:06.720
<v Speaker 1>And so if you.

0:24:06.680 --> 0:24:11.000
<v Speaker 6>Can just have the twelfth best offense, the thirteenth best offense,

0:24:11.040 --> 0:24:13.280
<v Speaker 6>I think you're cooking them with gas. And then I

0:24:13.280 --> 0:24:18.280
<v Speaker 6>mean defensively, it's just I don't know what superlative has

0:24:18.320 --> 0:24:21.000
<v Speaker 6>not been used on these guys over the last year,

0:24:22.080 --> 0:24:25.120
<v Speaker 6>But I really, I really believe like they they've got

0:24:25.160 --> 0:24:27.160
<v Speaker 6>a chance. And you don't see as many of them

0:24:27.160 --> 0:24:29.080
<v Speaker 6>this year that you know in this day and age.

0:24:29.119 --> 0:24:33.520
<v Speaker 6>But you know what the twenty fifteen Broncos were, what

0:24:33.720 --> 0:24:35.800
<v Speaker 6>the two thousand and two Buccaneers were, what the two

0:24:35.880 --> 0:24:39.879
<v Speaker 6>thousand Ravens were, you know, some of those great Steeler defenses,

0:24:40.880 --> 0:24:46.040
<v Speaker 6>you know, the best defenses of the new millennium.

0:24:46.080 --> 0:24:47.440
<v Speaker 4>You know, I think they very much have.

0:24:47.440 --> 0:24:50.399
<v Speaker 6>A chance to to to to throw their hat in

0:24:50.440 --> 0:24:54.000
<v Speaker 6>the ring and be named alongside those groups. If if

0:24:54.000 --> 0:24:55.680
<v Speaker 6>they can find a way to be good enough on

0:24:56.280 --> 0:24:57.840
<v Speaker 6>the on the offensive side of.

0:24:57.760 --> 0:24:59.400
<v Speaker 4>The ball to get to a Super Bowl.

0:25:00.000 --> 0:25:02.679
<v Speaker 2>It has just been my opinion watching I think we

0:25:02.720 --> 0:25:05.560
<v Speaker 2>saw all the great defenses last year we started facing

0:25:05.600 --> 0:25:09.359
<v Speaker 2>the Rams, we played the Broncos, we played the Seahawks.

0:25:09.359 --> 0:25:10.800
<v Speaker 1>Obviously we get to see our defense.

0:25:11.320 --> 0:25:15.160
<v Speaker 2>It feels as if there's a sort of defensive renaissance

0:25:15.200 --> 0:25:18.200
<v Speaker 2>in this league that teams are looking at it. Twenty

0:25:18.440 --> 0:25:21.320
<v Speaker 2>fifteen Broncos, two thousand Ravens. Hey, look, we can win

0:25:21.440 --> 0:25:25.240
<v Speaker 2>with a great defense offense, just do enough. And I

0:25:25.240 --> 0:25:27.040
<v Speaker 2>think Seattle kind of felling out of their offense was

0:25:27.040 --> 0:25:28.359
<v Speaker 2>a little bit better than the offensive player of the

0:25:28.440 --> 0:25:29.280
<v Speaker 2>year in Jason.

0:25:29.160 --> 0:25:29.880
<v Speaker 1>It was very good.

0:25:30.119 --> 0:25:32.359
<v Speaker 2>But it feels like there might be this defensive renaissance

0:25:32.359 --> 0:25:34.640
<v Speaker 2>happening in the league that the Rams don't get Miles

0:25:34.680 --> 0:25:36.800
<v Speaker 2>Garrett to put him with maybe Aaron Donald and whoever

0:25:36.800 --> 0:25:39.400
<v Speaker 2>else I got up front this defense, the Eagles defense,

0:25:39.640 --> 0:25:42.080
<v Speaker 2>that there are more great defenses in the league now

0:25:42.119 --> 0:25:43.400
<v Speaker 2>than there have been in a while.

0:25:44.000 --> 0:25:46.479
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, I think it's well, I mean, like one thing

0:25:46.520 --> 0:25:49.119
<v Speaker 6>you do here that's interesting, as it's getting harder to

0:25:49.119 --> 0:25:52.320
<v Speaker 6>play quarterback right right, and it's like part of it

0:25:52.359 --> 0:25:56.520
<v Speaker 6>is the way that defenses are putting athletes out there

0:25:56.560 --> 0:25:59.840
<v Speaker 6>and changing the picture constantly, and so I think, you know,

0:26:00.240 --> 0:26:03.520
<v Speaker 6>one thing that Mike McDonald I think is doing was

0:26:03.560 --> 0:26:06.800
<v Speaker 6>really interesting, and I think he's opening the door because

0:26:06.800 --> 0:26:08.239
<v Speaker 6>if you look at it, like over the last ten

0:26:08.280 --> 0:26:10.040
<v Speaker 6>to fifteen years, obviously we've had a lot of like

0:26:10.119 --> 0:26:13.199
<v Speaker 6>the young offensive assistants get jobs and succeed, right, So

0:26:13.800 --> 0:26:17.120
<v Speaker 6>who's that, Well, it's Sean McVay and Kyle Shanahan obviously,

0:26:17.200 --> 0:26:18.960
<v Speaker 6>but even like Matt LeFleur going to a couple of

0:26:19.040 --> 0:26:22.199
<v Speaker 6>NFC title games, Mike McDaniel gets the Dolphins back to

0:26:22.240 --> 0:26:25.639
<v Speaker 6>the playoffs. There are tons of examples of that. And

0:26:25.680 --> 0:26:29.199
<v Speaker 6>then there are defensive coaches who had success too, but

0:26:29.280 --> 0:26:30.960
<v Speaker 6>a lot of those guys are ex players. The guy

0:26:31.000 --> 0:26:33.119
<v Speaker 6>here right is a good example of it. You have

0:26:33.359 --> 0:26:36.639
<v Speaker 6>Mike Rabel who's now won in both Tennessee and New England.

0:26:37.200 --> 0:26:40.600
<v Speaker 7>And so I think, you know, there is a real.

0:26:40.480 --> 0:26:44.119
<v Speaker 6>There's a class of young defensive coaches that are really

0:26:44.160 --> 0:26:47.160
<v Speaker 6>smart guys that I think are sort of becoming the

0:26:47.160 --> 0:26:50.520
<v Speaker 6>counterpoint and opening the door for what you're talking about.

0:26:50.720 --> 0:26:53.240
<v Speaker 6>So Jesse Mintor is a really good example of it. Obviously,

0:26:53.240 --> 0:26:57.440
<v Speaker 6>he has success at Michigan, was bonkers the last two

0:26:57.480 --> 0:26:59.560
<v Speaker 6>years with the Chargers, and now we'll see what he

0:26:59.560 --> 0:27:01.920
<v Speaker 6>does with the Evens. Matt Burke is a guy here

0:27:01.960 --> 0:27:03.720
<v Speaker 6>who I think is like kind of in that group,

0:27:03.760 --> 0:27:07.919
<v Speaker 6>you know, But there are like that again, there's like

0:27:07.960 --> 0:27:11.040
<v Speaker 6>this this I think what you're talking about there is

0:27:12.520 --> 0:27:15.560
<v Speaker 6>defenses are starting to challenge offenses in new new ways.

0:27:15.600 --> 0:27:18.160
<v Speaker 7>It's making it harder for quarterbacks to operate.

0:27:18.240 --> 0:27:20.200
<v Speaker 4>Seattle was a great example.

0:27:20.280 --> 0:27:22.920
<v Speaker 7>Like to me, the difference between Stafford and.

0:27:22.880 --> 0:27:26.080
<v Speaker 6>Drake May last year was right there for us in

0:27:26.119 --> 0:27:28.480
<v Speaker 6>the NFC championship game in the Super Bowl, and what

0:27:28.600 --> 0:27:32.440
<v Speaker 6>I the way I had somebody explain to me, was Seattle.

0:27:31.960 --> 0:27:34.880
<v Speaker 4>Forces you to play quarterback, you know what I mean, Like.

0:27:35.000 --> 0:27:37.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and it was Stafford kind of game like that.

0:27:37.520 --> 0:27:41.040
<v Speaker 6>You still lose and Seattle and Stafford played great in

0:27:41.119 --> 0:27:44.119
<v Speaker 6>that game, and you saw that's a guy who's been

0:27:44.119 --> 0:27:46.640
<v Speaker 6>in the league for seventeen years. And then the next week,

0:27:46.760 --> 0:27:48.960
<v Speaker 6>two or two weeks later, they played Drake May, who

0:27:48.960 --> 0:27:52.639
<v Speaker 6>had a phenomenal season, was like worthy of being second

0:27:52.640 --> 0:27:55.760
<v Speaker 6>in MVP voting, but they put him in a blender,

0:27:56.000 --> 0:27:57.919
<v Speaker 6>you know. And so I think, like, you know, like

0:27:57.960 --> 0:28:03.280
<v Speaker 6>the the like Winke Martindale, the Wink Martindale, you know,

0:28:03.359 --> 0:28:06.320
<v Speaker 6>Tree and those guys and that's Jesse mentor Mike McDonald,

0:28:06.359 --> 0:28:08.520
<v Speaker 6>all these guys that have come through that, and then

0:28:08.520 --> 0:28:10.440
<v Speaker 6>some of the guys who come up n Neer, Vic Fangio.

0:28:11.000 --> 0:28:13.160
<v Speaker 7>You're starting to see some real creativity.

0:28:12.680 --> 0:28:13.920
<v Speaker 3>In that side of the All all right, a couple more

0:28:13.960 --> 0:28:15.679
<v Speaker 3>for you, albert Is. Johnny's gonna go watch one on

0:28:15.680 --> 0:28:20.680
<v Speaker 3>one because them Okay, so afc South, Jags, Titans, Colts.

0:28:20.720 --> 0:28:22.520
<v Speaker 3>Have you been to any of the camps yet? Will

0:28:22.560 --> 0:28:22.760
<v Speaker 3>you know?

0:28:22.960 --> 0:28:23.159
<v Speaker 6>I have?

0:28:23.320 --> 0:28:26.520
<v Speaker 7>I haven't been, so I will go to the Colt.

0:28:26.560 --> 0:28:38.000
<v Speaker 6>I'll be the Colts Saber Day.

0:28:34.600 --> 0:28:38.520
<v Speaker 7>And it's Saturday. I think I'm at the Colt. I can't.

0:28:38.920 --> 0:28:41.080
<v Speaker 4>I think that's it. Yes, Saturday, I'll bet the Colt.

0:28:41.160 --> 0:28:42.280
<v Speaker 3>But what do you think of the division?

0:28:42.280 --> 0:28:44.520
<v Speaker 7>And then Jackson Jackson tits hopefully later.

0:28:45.080 --> 0:28:47.040
<v Speaker 6>I mean it's better, you know, Like I think Liam

0:28:47.040 --> 0:28:50.080
<v Speaker 6>Cohen obviously did a great job last year in Jacksonville

0:28:50.720 --> 0:28:52.600
<v Speaker 6>and like man if like Trevor.

0:28:52.360 --> 0:28:54.120
<v Speaker 7>Lawrence can fulfill the potential there.

0:28:54.160 --> 0:28:57.240
<v Speaker 6>But it seems like the Jags have built a foundation

0:28:57.360 --> 0:29:00.960
<v Speaker 6>for something that could be lasting. I think Shane steich

0:29:01.040 --> 0:29:03.880
<v Speaker 6>In is one of the most underrated coaches in football,

0:29:04.000 --> 0:29:07.880
<v Speaker 6>and where they were offensively last year. I mean, they

0:29:07.880 --> 0:29:12.400
<v Speaker 6>were on a record breaking pace before you know, the

0:29:12.440 --> 0:29:15.440
<v Speaker 6>injuries hit. Daniel Jones gets hurt. But when they they

0:29:15.520 --> 0:29:17.840
<v Speaker 6>during that seven and one start, they were off the charts.

0:29:17.880 --> 0:29:19.920
<v Speaker 6>So it'll be interesting to see if they can come

0:29:19.960 --> 0:29:24.280
<v Speaker 6>back from that, you know. And then and then obviously,

0:29:24.320 --> 0:29:27.880
<v Speaker 6>I think the Titans are kind of in this all right,

0:29:27.960 --> 0:29:29.600
<v Speaker 6>like one step at a time. Can they get to

0:29:29.640 --> 0:29:33.240
<v Speaker 6>eight nine wins? Can they play meaningful football in December?

0:29:33.280 --> 0:29:35.400
<v Speaker 6>I think that's where they're at all right. Last one,

0:29:35.600 --> 0:29:37.760
<v Speaker 6>sports media. You and I have talked about this kind

0:29:37.760 --> 0:29:38.600
<v Speaker 6>of thing before.

0:29:38.400 --> 0:29:41.520
<v Speaker 3>Over the years, but where we're at right now, what

0:29:41.520 --> 0:29:43.120
<v Speaker 3>do you make of the state of the Union of

0:29:43.160 --> 0:29:45.800
<v Speaker 3>sports media? Because it's more bizarre than ever even here.

0:29:45.840 --> 0:29:48.920
<v Speaker 3>We got used to Chronicle as a reporter, ESPN's a reporter,

0:29:49.000 --> 0:29:51.760
<v Speaker 3>get a lot of YouTubers. It's kind of a strange mix.

0:29:52.000 --> 0:29:54.000
<v Speaker 3>It's a strange environment we live in right now.

0:29:54.080 --> 0:29:56.000
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, you know, I didn't get a lot of things

0:29:56.040 --> 0:29:59.080
<v Speaker 6>right when I was twenty two. But I remember one

0:29:59.240 --> 0:30:02.320
<v Speaker 6>thing I can still remember. The one thing I think

0:30:02.360 --> 0:30:04.600
<v Speaker 6>I did get right was when I was coming to

0:30:04.600 --> 0:30:08.640
<v Speaker 6>out school. I remember when people would ask me, like

0:30:08.840 --> 0:30:11.080
<v Speaker 6>what do you want your job to be in twenty years?

0:30:11.720 --> 0:30:13.920
<v Speaker 6>I said, I don't know, because it doesn't exist yet.

0:30:14.720 --> 0:30:17.600
<v Speaker 6>And I really felt like at that time, like the

0:30:17.640 --> 0:30:19.680
<v Speaker 6>economics the business didn't work, and.

0:30:19.640 --> 0:30:22.000
<v Speaker 4>So for me it was like, how do I teach

0:30:22.040 --> 0:30:23.120
<v Speaker 4>myself how to do everything?

0:30:23.120 --> 0:30:25.840
<v Speaker 6>Because if the economics of the business don't work, then

0:30:25.840 --> 0:30:27.960
<v Speaker 6>you're gonna want to have one You don't have to

0:30:28.200 --> 0:30:32.200
<v Speaker 6>have one person who can do multiple things, right, I

0:30:32.240 --> 0:30:34.720
<v Speaker 6>think like where we're at now is just kind of

0:30:35.240 --> 0:30:39.080
<v Speaker 6>it's fragmented more than it's ever been, And I think

0:30:39.080 --> 0:30:40.920
<v Speaker 6>it's more on us to kind of meet the audience

0:30:40.920 --> 0:30:43.640
<v Speaker 6>where they're at than ever before.

0:30:43.960 --> 0:30:47.000
<v Speaker 4>Because I pay attention. I pay attention to my.

0:30:47.000 --> 0:30:49.040
<v Speaker 6>Eleven year old, my nine year old, my six year old,

0:30:49.040 --> 0:30:52.480
<v Speaker 6>how they consume content and not necessarily what they're consuming

0:30:52.480 --> 0:30:53.640
<v Speaker 6>because their interests.

0:30:53.320 --> 0:30:55.320
<v Speaker 4>Are what kids that age interests are.

0:30:55.200 --> 0:30:58.640
<v Speaker 6>But like, how are you, like, how are you consuming content?

0:30:58.640 --> 0:31:01.800
<v Speaker 6>Because in you know, ten to fifteen years, that's gonna

0:31:01.800 --> 0:31:05.360
<v Speaker 6>be the primary audience. So I think that's the tricky thing,

0:31:05.440 --> 0:31:07.440
<v Speaker 6>is like finding the audience. But if you're not trying

0:31:07.440 --> 0:31:11.080
<v Speaker 6>to figure out where the audience is, you're dead, right, So,

0:31:11.320 --> 0:31:14.040
<v Speaker 6>like I think it's like a lot of the fundamentals

0:31:14.080 --> 0:31:17.840
<v Speaker 6>of the job remained in the same. I think you're

0:31:17.840 --> 0:31:20.880
<v Speaker 6>having relationships, being able to get information, being able to

0:31:20.920 --> 0:31:24.600
<v Speaker 6>have an opinion that isn't just that can't be can't

0:31:24.720 --> 0:31:27.280
<v Speaker 6>that that that that that somebody just flicking on a

0:31:27.320 --> 0:31:30.040
<v Speaker 6>switch on their computer can do the same thing you

0:31:30.080 --> 0:31:32.800
<v Speaker 6>can do. It's being able to differentiate yourself that way.

0:31:33.480 --> 0:31:36.080
<v Speaker 6>Then it's also okay, like, what's the best way for

0:31:36.080 --> 0:31:38.400
<v Speaker 6>me to deliver this content in a way where I'm

0:31:38.400 --> 0:31:41.200
<v Speaker 6>going to be able to reach as many people as.

0:31:41.160 --> 0:31:41.920
<v Speaker 4>I possibly can.

0:31:42.000 --> 0:31:44.600
<v Speaker 6>And again, it's just it's a way bigger challenge than

0:31:44.640 --> 0:31:46.720
<v Speaker 6>it was when I first got into this and you

0:31:46.720 --> 0:31:49.400
<v Speaker 6>could count on people picking up the newspaper or turning

0:31:49.480 --> 0:31:51.520
<v Speaker 6>on the TV or turning on the radio.

0:31:51.600 --> 0:31:53.040
<v Speaker 4>It's just way different than it used to be.

0:31:53.160 --> 0:31:54.360
<v Speaker 3>Albert thanks a lot of that time.

0:31:54.400 --> 0:31:57.480
<v Speaker 2>We appreciate it absolutely, Lincoln Sudbury's finest.

0:31:57.720 --> 0:32:00.280
<v Speaker 1>Right there, Albert Breer, Are we get back?

0:32:00.400 --> 0:32:03.880
<v Speaker 2>Jayane Higgins joined my good friends John Lopez, reggiad Tula

<v Speaker 1>I j five so and you you are a chill dude.

0:33:30.680 --> 0:33:32.960
<v Speaker 9>It's one of the things I've thought about, Like, you

0:33:33.000 --> 0:33:35.480
<v Speaker 9>are pretty humble in the way that you go about things,

0:33:35.640 --> 0:33:37.840
<v Speaker 9>and it made me wonder, is there anything in your

0:33:37.880 --> 0:33:39.240
<v Speaker 9>life that you're braggadocious about?

0:33:39.640 --> 0:33:40.160
<v Speaker 1>Ah?

0:33:40.280 --> 0:33:42.720
<v Speaker 8>Man, I don't know. I would probably say fishing. I

0:33:42.760 --> 0:33:45.320
<v Speaker 8>love to fish, and I think I'm better than a

0:33:45.320 --> 0:33:46.640
<v Speaker 8>lot of the guys on our team. I joke with

0:33:46.640 --> 0:33:48.160
<v Speaker 8>Will all the time. I tell him I'm the best

0:33:48.160 --> 0:33:51.680
<v Speaker 8>fisherman and he gets super upset. But yeah, I'd say that.

0:33:51.800 --> 0:33:54.440
<v Speaker 5>Okay, so we're we we gotta go here. Then I

0:33:54.480 --> 0:33:57.760
<v Speaker 5>was gonna I was telling myself, I mean, I fish

0:33:58.200 --> 0:34:00.600
<v Speaker 5>every week, yep, I have a fishing podcas Yes, I

0:34:01.040 --> 0:34:03.400
<v Speaker 5>have a fishing show on this same station in the mornings.

0:34:03.640 --> 0:34:05.360
<v Speaker 5>And I kept telling myself, I'm not gonna ask him

0:34:05.360 --> 0:34:06.920
<v Speaker 5>about fishing till later. I'm not going to ask about

0:34:06.920 --> 0:34:12.480
<v Speaker 5>fish until later. But we're here, we're here. You are

0:34:12.600 --> 0:34:15.440
<v Speaker 5>the second best fisherman at this table, But I will I.

0:34:15.400 --> 0:34:17.120
<v Speaker 1>Will grant you, and he's not talking about me.

0:34:18.440 --> 0:34:21.480
<v Speaker 5>I will grant you. How big is that competition, because

0:34:21.480 --> 0:34:24.480
<v Speaker 5>when you're on the boat, when you're fishing, it's competition

0:34:24.600 --> 0:34:24.919
<v Speaker 5>for sure.

0:34:25.000 --> 0:34:26.839
<v Speaker 8>Yeah. I mean, you know, at the end of the day,

0:34:26.840 --> 0:34:28.319
<v Speaker 8>as long as you go out there and you know

0:34:28.440 --> 0:34:30.280
<v Speaker 8>catch fish is always a great day. But it's definitely

0:34:30.320 --> 0:34:33.239
<v Speaker 8>a huge competition, you know, competing with those guys, and

0:34:33.320 --> 0:34:35.319
<v Speaker 8>you know, coming back here and telling everybody that I'm

0:34:35.320 --> 0:34:37.000
<v Speaker 8>a better fisherman is a big deal to me.

0:34:37.400 --> 0:34:39.960
<v Speaker 5>Artificials or live and dead bait.

0:34:40.440 --> 0:34:43.120
<v Speaker 8>It depends. When I'm bass fishing, I like to use

0:34:43.239 --> 0:34:46.000
<v Speaker 8>artificial When I'm fishing in saltwater, definitely live.

0:34:46.480 --> 0:34:50.720
<v Speaker 5>I promise we're gonna get the football, all our listeners,

0:34:50.760 --> 0:34:53.400
<v Speaker 5>I promise I'm gonna get the football. You've got to

0:34:53.440 --> 0:34:56.160
<v Speaker 5>get deeper into saltwater fishing. Now you're here, have you, Yeah,

0:34:56.200 --> 0:34:56.480
<v Speaker 5>for sure.

0:34:56.520 --> 0:34:59.040
<v Speaker 8>I'm from Miami, so so I always go out there

0:34:59.040 --> 0:35:00.720
<v Speaker 8>in the salt water. But yeah, I've been to Galveston,

0:35:00.760 --> 0:35:01.640
<v Speaker 8>a couple of times.

0:35:01.480 --> 0:35:03.960
<v Speaker 5>You've been bayfishing or Jetty's or offshore.

0:35:04.040 --> 0:35:06.120
<v Speaker 8>Uh yeah, offshore mostly, Yeah.

0:35:05.920 --> 0:35:07.799
<v Speaker 5>Yep, Okay, we'll get to football then I'll come back.

0:35:07.840 --> 0:35:09.480
<v Speaker 9>No, I think that's the football thing that I want

0:35:09.480 --> 0:35:11.040
<v Speaker 9>to get to. Because you're talking about fishing and it

0:35:11.200 --> 0:35:13.799
<v Speaker 9>you clearly have the details down. Where do you feel

0:35:13.840 --> 0:35:15.680
<v Speaker 9>like you are with the details and the finer points

0:35:15.719 --> 0:35:18.239
<v Speaker 9>of the wide receiver position? Because it's clear you got

0:35:18.239 --> 0:35:22.000
<v Speaker 9>the raw abilities, big tall, good builds, you're fast as hell, Like,

0:35:22.000 --> 0:35:23.640
<v Speaker 9>how do you feel like you're finding the details of

0:35:23.640 --> 0:35:25.000
<v Speaker 9>the wide receiver position at this point?

0:35:25.080 --> 0:35:25.399
<v Speaker 7>For sure?

0:35:25.480 --> 0:35:27.279
<v Speaker 8>I mean, I think it all comes down to just

0:35:27.280 --> 0:35:28.879
<v Speaker 8>the work that I'm putting in, you know, the work

0:35:29.160 --> 0:35:31.320
<v Speaker 8>I put in each and every day with the coaching staff,

0:35:31.480 --> 0:35:34.160
<v Speaker 8>with CJ, with all the guys. You know, just just

0:35:34.200 --> 0:35:36.040
<v Speaker 8>making sure that I'm polished out there and I can

0:35:36.080 --> 0:35:37.680
<v Speaker 8>make any play when the time comes.

0:35:37.960 --> 0:35:39.960
<v Speaker 5>So a lot of times at every camp, you know,

0:35:39.960 --> 0:35:41.560
<v Speaker 5>people talk about, well, this player's got a lot of

0:35:41.680 --> 0:35:43.680
<v Speaker 5>there's a lot of buzz around this player. This player

0:35:43.760 --> 0:35:45.920
<v Speaker 5>is really showing up, flashing whatever you want to call it.

0:35:46.160 --> 0:35:49.719
<v Speaker 5>You are that guy in this camp. Do you feel it?

0:35:49.800 --> 0:35:51.640
<v Speaker 5>Do you feel like your game is stepping up.

0:35:52.200 --> 0:35:54.680
<v Speaker 8>Uh, I mean, I want to say so. I say,

0:35:55.239 --> 0:35:57.200
<v Speaker 8>for me, it's just routine pretty much. You know, I

0:35:57.200 --> 0:35:58.759
<v Speaker 8>got there. That's my job to go out there and

0:35:58.760 --> 0:36:01.000
<v Speaker 8>make plays when he throws me the ball, you know,

0:36:01.120 --> 0:36:03.759
<v Speaker 8>make sure I'm on the right alignment, assignment, you know,

0:36:03.880 --> 0:36:05.399
<v Speaker 8>just make sure I'm doing the right thing out there.

0:36:05.400 --> 0:36:07.480
<v Speaker 8>So I feel like me personally, that's what I'm supposed

0:36:07.480 --> 0:36:07.640
<v Speaker 8>to do.

0:36:07.719 --> 0:36:09.600
<v Speaker 5>How much of it is just pure development one.

0:36:09.560 --> 0:36:11.160
<v Speaker 7>Year to the next, for sure, a lot of it.

0:36:11.239 --> 0:36:14.040
<v Speaker 8>You know, just definitely being way more comfortable out there

0:36:14.040 --> 0:36:15.719
<v Speaker 8>and ready to go out there and rock out.

0:36:15.960 --> 0:36:19.240
<v Speaker 9>What's the difference between I guess off season one feels

0:36:19.239 --> 0:36:20.280
<v Speaker 9>like it's not even off season.

0:36:20.280 --> 0:36:21.759
<v Speaker 1>You get drafted, it's all the whirlwind.

0:36:21.880 --> 0:36:23.879
<v Speaker 9>What's the difference between off season one and then off

0:36:23.880 --> 0:36:25.400
<v Speaker 9>season two that you're just coming off of.

0:36:25.600 --> 0:36:28.239
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, man, I think it's a huge difference. You know,

0:36:28.400 --> 0:36:31.280
<v Speaker 8>being able to you know, get right into training instead

0:36:31.280 --> 0:36:33.880
<v Speaker 8>of you know, having the train for the combine. You know,

0:36:34.160 --> 0:36:36.840
<v Speaker 8>definitely allowed me to work on my athleticism, allow me

0:36:36.880 --> 0:36:39.520
<v Speaker 8>to get bigger, stronger, faster, and then you know, just

0:36:39.560 --> 0:36:41.520
<v Speaker 8>take more time with the offense. Of course, learn the

0:36:41.520 --> 0:36:43.880
<v Speaker 8>ins and out of it, and you know, really just

0:36:43.880 --> 0:36:44.520
<v Speaker 8>be in the building.

0:36:45.200 --> 0:36:48.320
<v Speaker 5>How much a responsibility this is? This is a tough question,

0:36:48.400 --> 0:36:50.839
<v Speaker 5>and I understand that going in, but you see what

0:36:50.840 --> 0:36:53.719
<v Speaker 5>what the discussion is around CJ strout how much to

0:36:53.920 --> 0:36:56.760
<v Speaker 5>do this? Does the receiver room say, hey man, that's us,

0:36:57.000 --> 0:36:59.319
<v Speaker 5>that's all up. Do you feel that responsibility to do

0:36:59.480 --> 0:36:59.919
<v Speaker 5>for him?

0:37:00.120 --> 0:37:02.279
<v Speaker 8>For sure? Of course, Yeah, there's a bunch of things

0:37:02.280 --> 0:37:03.919
<v Speaker 8>that we got to do to go out there and

0:37:04.120 --> 0:37:06.319
<v Speaker 8>make sure that he's completing those passes and making those

0:37:06.320 --> 0:37:08.640
<v Speaker 8>big plays, and that's what we're always gonna do. You know,

0:37:08.680 --> 0:37:11.120
<v Speaker 8>we have a lot of responsibility as far as you know,

0:37:11.200 --> 0:37:13.480
<v Speaker 8>certain routes and stuff we gotta run. So you know,

0:37:13.560 --> 0:37:15.520
<v Speaker 8>everyone you know might always just want to point the

0:37:15.520 --> 0:37:17.359
<v Speaker 8>finger on him, but it's definitely us a lot of times.

0:37:17.800 --> 0:37:19.680
<v Speaker 9>I mean, how often is the case though, because I

0:37:19.719 --> 0:37:21.360
<v Speaker 9>know that it sounds it might sound like you're just

0:37:21.440 --> 0:37:24.319
<v Speaker 9>kind of talking generically about hey man, we have our responsibilities.

0:37:24.320 --> 0:37:27.080
<v Speaker 9>But we were talking with Nico earlier with last week

0:37:27.200 --> 0:37:29.000
<v Speaker 9>and he was mentioning, how, yeah, man, there's a lot

0:37:29.080 --> 0:37:30.840
<v Speaker 9>of things that you have to go through in this system,

0:37:30.840 --> 0:37:32.480
<v Speaker 9>and I imagine that only goes up more with you

0:37:32.520 --> 0:37:34.800
<v Speaker 9>talking about maybe moving around in the formation.

0:37:34.880 --> 0:37:37.200
<v Speaker 8>How much is that that's on your play For sure,

0:37:37.239 --> 0:37:39.080
<v Speaker 8>it's a lot, But you know, you just got to

0:37:39.120 --> 0:37:40.879
<v Speaker 8>get in that playbook. You got to make sure you're,

0:37:41.280 --> 0:37:43.080
<v Speaker 8>you know, here every day and just ready to work.

0:37:43.239 --> 0:37:45.400
<v Speaker 8>If the coaches can't trust you, if CJ can't trust you,

0:37:45.440 --> 0:37:47.000
<v Speaker 8>then you know you're not going to be able to

0:37:47.000 --> 0:37:47.439
<v Speaker 8>be out there.

0:37:47.440 --> 0:37:49.920
<v Speaker 9>How much how much you talk about being in the playbook, Like,

0:37:49.920 --> 0:37:51.759
<v Speaker 9>how often is it is it when you sit down

0:37:51.800 --> 0:37:53.800
<v Speaker 9>to eat, you're not putting on nothing on YouTube?

0:37:53.840 --> 0:37:55.040
<v Speaker 1>You're in the playbook? Like, what is it?

0:37:55.080 --> 0:37:57.160
<v Speaker 8>Nothing crazy like that, Nothing crazy like that. I think,

0:37:57.280 --> 0:37:59.640
<v Speaker 8>just just putting in some extra time, you know, each day,

0:37:59.680 --> 0:38:02.800
<v Speaker 8>maybe an hour or something like that. None too crazy,

0:38:02.880 --> 0:38:04.319
<v Speaker 8>as long as you stay up on it, you know.

0:38:04.520 --> 0:38:04.719
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:38:05.160 --> 0:38:07.480
<v Speaker 5>So the coaches have put a big emphasis on the

0:38:07.520 --> 0:38:09.520
<v Speaker 5>run game this year. We're going to run the ball,

0:38:09.560 --> 0:38:11.600
<v Speaker 5>We're gonna throw the ball to the backside of the backfield.

0:38:12.080 --> 0:38:14.279
<v Speaker 5>Obviously that means you got block. Yeah, that means you

0:38:14.280 --> 0:38:16.279
<v Speaker 5>got to make the most of your opportunities and maybe

0:38:16.320 --> 0:38:19.320
<v Speaker 5>short passing game. How much of a difference is this offense?

0:38:19.360 --> 0:38:21.799
<v Speaker 5>As much as it was the same offense. How much.

0:38:21.840 --> 0:38:24.320
<v Speaker 5>How many new wrinkles are there with that in mind.

0:38:24.360 --> 0:38:26.600
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, I think, uh, you know, a lot of new wrinkles,

0:38:27.239 --> 0:38:29.319
<v Speaker 8>but a lot of the same stuff. Also, you know,

0:38:29.400 --> 0:38:30.440
<v Speaker 8>at the end of the day, we want to go

0:38:30.440 --> 0:38:32.160
<v Speaker 8>out there and you know, run the ball down the

0:38:32.200 --> 0:38:35.000
<v Speaker 8>defensive throat. You know, we got to pound the rock.

0:38:35.040 --> 0:38:36.840
<v Speaker 8>We got to make sure that you know, we're blocking

0:38:36.880 --> 0:38:39.399
<v Speaker 8>as a receiver unit. You know, that's the big thing.

0:38:39.440 --> 0:38:40.960
<v Speaker 8>And then when you can do that, then all the

0:38:41.000 --> 0:38:43.319
<v Speaker 8>passing game opens up to play action things like that.

0:38:43.560 --> 0:38:45.160
<v Speaker 8>But you know, our O line has been looking really

0:38:45.160 --> 0:38:48.160
<v Speaker 8>good this year. Real stout running backs look amazing in

0:38:48.200 --> 0:38:50.759
<v Speaker 8>the backfield, and yeah, big players are just waiting out there.

0:38:50.920 --> 0:38:52.600
<v Speaker 9>Who do you talk to when you want to when

0:38:52.600 --> 0:38:55.400
<v Speaker 9>you want and need advice for playing the position? Because

0:38:55.520 --> 0:38:57.360
<v Speaker 9>I mean it's it's a lot of young guys in

0:38:57.360 --> 0:38:59.200
<v Speaker 9>that room. But also you got some interesting vets. I

0:38:59.200 --> 0:39:00.520
<v Speaker 9>wonder like, who do you talk to where there are

0:39:00.520 --> 0:39:02.120
<v Speaker 9>people outside of the building that you reach out to?

0:39:02.160 --> 0:39:04.520
<v Speaker 8>Who are sure I think you know in the building,

0:39:04.560 --> 0:39:08.160
<v Speaker 8>I just say I lean on the guys in the room. Definitely, Nico,

0:39:08.280 --> 0:39:11.440
<v Speaker 8>you know, a vet in that room explosive player. I

0:39:11.520 --> 0:39:13.080
<v Speaker 8>always talked to Hutch. I feel like he has a

0:39:13.120 --> 0:39:17.319
<v Speaker 8>lot of good information. My guy Jalen of course, Uh Tank,

0:39:17.400 --> 0:39:20.120
<v Speaker 8>you know, Tank's always you know, telling me little intricacies

0:39:20.160 --> 0:39:22.719
<v Speaker 8>and you know, kind of just defining certain things. And

0:39:22.760 --> 0:39:25.239
<v Speaker 8>then you know, outside of the building, I got a

0:39:25.520 --> 0:39:27.680
<v Speaker 8>you know, a couple of receiver coaches that I lean onto,

0:39:27.800 --> 0:39:30.480
<v Speaker 8>my metor coach Gant. So uh yeah, so I got

0:39:30.520 --> 0:39:31.080
<v Speaker 8>a lot of guys.

0:39:31.480 --> 0:39:33.319
<v Speaker 5>Another thing that we're seeing again this is us just

0:39:33.320 --> 0:39:36.040
<v Speaker 5>our observations. We're not in the room. Uh it is

0:39:36.440 --> 0:39:39.080
<v Speaker 5>a lot of the receivers are moving around, you know,

0:39:39.160 --> 0:39:42.600
<v Speaker 5>outside inside. You know, one side the other is that

0:39:43.040 --> 0:39:44.759
<v Speaker 5>I know you did it some last year, But is

0:39:44.760 --> 0:39:46.480
<v Speaker 5>that something you're trying to hone in on that skill?

0:39:46.640 --> 0:39:48.799
<v Speaker 8>For sure? I think, uh, you know, it just comes

0:39:48.800 --> 0:39:51.239
<v Speaker 8>down to the coaches trusting me and trusting the other

0:39:51.280 --> 0:39:53.399
<v Speaker 8>receivers to to go out there and know what you're

0:39:53.400 --> 0:39:55.160
<v Speaker 8>doing and be able to make that play when it comes.

0:39:55.560 --> 0:39:59.279
<v Speaker 9>I'm gonna be honest though, you're fast, man, Demiko Ryan

0:39:59.360 --> 0:40:01.799
<v Speaker 9>sounded like he was he was on cloud nine talking

0:40:01.800 --> 0:40:02.719
<v Speaker 9>about how fast you are?

0:40:03.000 --> 0:40:04.920
<v Speaker 1>Where do you rank in the in the building, Like

0:40:04.960 --> 0:40:06.320
<v Speaker 1>who who who the fastest?

0:40:06.400 --> 0:40:06.680
<v Speaker 5>Are you?

0:40:06.760 --> 0:40:08.560
<v Speaker 1>Are you up there on the podium? What are we

0:40:08.600 --> 0:40:09.240
<v Speaker 1>doing here?

0:40:10.600 --> 0:40:12.000
<v Speaker 5>No?

0:40:10.800 --> 0:40:16.279
<v Speaker 8>No, nah, I ran track but I mostly jumped senior year.

0:40:16.360 --> 0:40:18.040
<v Speaker 4>You do look like yeah.

0:40:18.280 --> 0:40:22.080
<v Speaker 8>But the fastest I'll probably say Jalen know honestly a

0:40:22.360 --> 0:40:24.480
<v Speaker 8>guy in the receiver room. And then we got we

0:40:24.600 --> 0:40:29.680
<v Speaker 8>got uh, of course Stingley super fast, guy Nico super fast.

0:40:29.680 --> 0:40:32.560
<v Speaker 8>I definitely say, you know that receiver receiver room is

0:40:32.560 --> 0:40:35.560
<v Speaker 8>definitely tough to be but I probably say I'm top

0:40:35.719 --> 0:40:36.640
<v Speaker 8>top five, ty ten.

0:40:36.800 --> 0:40:38.360
<v Speaker 1>He's being real diplomatic about it.

0:40:38.440 --> 0:40:40.719
<v Speaker 9>It really is because I look, I'll say it so

0:40:40.760 --> 0:40:42.560
<v Speaker 9>you don't have to You left sting earlier.

0:40:44.880 --> 0:40:46.040
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you don't have to acknowledge it.

0:40:46.840 --> 0:40:47.399
<v Speaker 5>You left him.

0:40:47.440 --> 0:40:47.640

<v Speaker 5>like some of the clear water because technics, that's the

0:40:57.440 --> 0:40:59.560
<v Speaker 5>thing you heard Charles Barkley talking about the water and gables.

0:41:00.200 --> 0:41:02.160
<v Speaker 5>It's because it's deeper, it's got a lot of and

<v Speaker 7>Yeah, I don't like to worry.

0:41:22.080 --> 0:41:24.759

<v Speaker 5>I actually I actually told Omar if you ever have

0:43:04.880 --> 0:43:06.959
<v Speaker 5>an off weekend or something happy to take you guys

0:43:07.440 --> 0:43:09.400
<v Speaker 5>all off the record. Just fishing. I don't talk sports

0:43:09.400 --> 0:43:13.040
<v Speaker 5>and fishing spinning reel or casting.

0:43:13.239 --> 0:43:15.760
<v Speaker 8>Uh, I do both.

0:43:16.480 --> 0:43:18.240
<v Speaker 5>Into the wind, you got to use spinning.

0:43:18.360 --> 0:43:20.640
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, For like freshwater, I like to use a bait caster,

0:43:21.080 --> 0:43:23.400
<v Speaker 8>and then for like saltwater, I'll probably definitely do a

0:43:23.400 --> 0:43:23.959
<v Speaker 8>spinning reel.

0:43:24.040 --> 0:43:26.720
<v Speaker 5>Yeah. And what's your what's your setup? What's your favorite setup?

0:43:28.400 --> 0:43:28.640
<v Speaker 8>Yeah?

0:43:29.120 --> 0:43:29.920
<v Speaker 5>Nothing too crazy.

0:43:29.960 --> 0:43:33.000
<v Speaker 8>I just like to have either floral or mono and

0:43:33.040 --> 0:43:35.560
<v Speaker 8>then you know, have that that braid tied on there

0:43:36.680 --> 0:43:39.000
<v Speaker 8>but the mind of being the leader. But uh yeah,

0:43:39.080 --> 0:43:41.839
<v Speaker 8>nothing too crazy. It all depends on the conditions.

0:43:41.360 --> 0:43:44.520
<v Speaker 5>And the best fish you ever caught, the best fish,

0:43:44.560 --> 0:43:47.160
<v Speaker 5>and the best one that got away, the best fish

0:43:47.280 --> 0:43:49.240
<v Speaker 5>the story where you still go because we always remember

0:43:49.239 --> 0:43:49.959
<v Speaker 5>the ones that got away.

0:43:50.040 --> 0:43:51.799
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, sheeeesh, I don't know.

0:43:51.840 --> 0:43:52.239
<v Speaker 4>That's hard.

0:43:52.280 --> 0:43:54.200
<v Speaker 8>When I was in yeah, I was then I caught

0:43:54.200 --> 0:43:58.120
<v Speaker 8>a huge red fish, one of the big drums, one

0:43:58.120 --> 0:44:00.480
<v Speaker 8>of those huge it was like mating sea and it

0:44:00.480 --> 0:44:00.920
<v Speaker 8>was huge.

0:44:00.920 --> 0:44:01.640
<v Speaker 7>So I'd say that one.

0:44:01.640 --> 0:44:03.160
<v Speaker 8>I don't even remember how big it was, but it

0:44:03.200 --> 0:44:07.960
<v Speaker 8>was alread. Yeah, and then one that got away. I

0:44:07.960 --> 0:44:09.280
<v Speaker 8>don't know. I'm still chasing there.

0:44:10.120 --> 0:44:13.319
<v Speaker 9>I can tell you everyone that got away because there's

0:44:13.360 --> 0:44:13.960
<v Speaker 9>not a lot of them.

0:44:14.000 --> 0:44:14.160
<v Speaker 3>More.

0:44:14.760 --> 0:44:15.600
<v Speaker 1>Okay.

0:44:16.160 --> 0:44:17.880
<v Speaker 9>I did want to ask you though, because I've become

0:44:17.920 --> 0:44:20.560
<v Speaker 9>fascinated with the welcome to the NFL moments. Did you

0:44:20.600 --> 0:44:22.600
<v Speaker 9>did you feel like you had one of those last year?

0:44:23.560 --> 0:44:25.920
<v Speaker 8>I would say, honestly, just coming out here to practice

0:44:26.040 --> 0:44:29.120
<v Speaker 8>and you know, going against Sting and Kamari and you

0:44:29.160 --> 0:44:32.520
<v Speaker 8>know Petrie, those guys in the secondary, Kalen back there, Bahaking,

0:44:33.120 --> 0:44:36.520
<v Speaker 8>going against those guys was definitely welcome to NFL before

0:44:36.520 --> 0:44:37.399
<v Speaker 8>I even got to a game.

0:44:37.960 --> 0:44:40.080
<v Speaker 9>I imagine when you practice like this, game days are

0:44:40.080 --> 0:44:41.000
<v Speaker 9>all feel easy?

0:44:41.160 --> 0:44:41.319
<v Speaker 3>Right?

0:44:41.400 --> 0:44:42.160
<v Speaker 5>Sure, a little bit.

0:44:42.200 --> 0:44:43.120
<v Speaker 7>I love it.

0:44:43.160 --> 0:44:45.120
<v Speaker 9>Is there is there anything in particular, because I know

0:44:45.160 --> 0:44:46.680
<v Speaker 9>you just want to get better in all fast? Is

0:44:46.680 --> 0:44:49.560
<v Speaker 9>there anything in particular that you were focused on uniquely

0:44:49.920 --> 0:44:51.560
<v Speaker 9>for the twenty twenty six season to be.

0:44:51.440 --> 0:44:53.000
<v Speaker 5>Better at uh?

0:44:53.120 --> 0:44:54.759
<v Speaker 8>I would definitely say, you know, trying to get some

0:44:54.760 --> 0:44:57.120
<v Speaker 8>more run after catch, making plays with the bomb in

0:44:57.200 --> 0:44:57.480
<v Speaker 8>my hand.

0:44:57.520 --> 0:44:58.359
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, after the catch.

0:44:58.360 --> 0:45:00.200
<v Speaker 9>Well, that's why we're working on the athleticism. One of

0:45:00.239 --> 0:45:02.040
<v Speaker 9>the new people in the dirt. I love it all right.

0:45:02.080 --> 0:45:03.440
<v Speaker 1>One more thing I want to ask you, just so

0:45:03.520 --> 0:45:04.400
<v Speaker 1>I can get because.

0:45:04.320 --> 0:45:06.640
<v Speaker 9>You clearly have favorite fish. What's your favorite routes to

0:45:06.680 --> 0:45:07.160
<v Speaker 9>run out here?

0:45:07.360 --> 0:45:09.759
<v Speaker 8>My favorite out Oh man, that's all right.

0:45:10.280 --> 0:45:11.359
<v Speaker 1>I was a slant guy person.

0:45:12.040 --> 0:45:14.000
<v Speaker 8>I like running slans. I do like running slants. I'd

0:45:14.000 --> 0:45:18.000
<v Speaker 8>probably say like it's like a six step out like that.

0:45:18.320 --> 0:45:18.920
<v Speaker 3>I like to get that.

0:45:19.000 --> 0:45:19.880
<v Speaker 8>Kids get vertical.

0:45:20.000 --> 0:45:20.560
<v Speaker 1>That's interesting.

0:45:20.600 --> 0:45:22.080
<v Speaker 9>I would have never gone for that. But that's why

0:45:22.080 --> 0:45:24.840
<v Speaker 9>we're different, right. Also, I have a microphone, and you

0:45:24.880 --> 0:45:28.400
<v Speaker 9>play football. That's also another place. But we appreciate you greatly.

0:45:28.160 --> 0:45:30.240
<v Speaker 5>Sitting down with and if anybody didn't like the fishing,

0:45:30.320 --> 0:45:32.400
<v Speaker 5>talk too bad.

0:45:32.600 --> 0:45:32.920
<v Speaker 1>Too bad?

0:45:33.000 --> 0:45:34.600
<v Speaker 9>Right, All that means that we got to have you

0:45:34.640 --> 0:45:37.320
<v Speaker 9>back over talk to more football. Have a great season,

0:45:37.320 --> 0:45:40.400
<v Speaker 9>my guy. It's Jaye Higgins for you, Houston Texans.

0:45:40.520 --> 0:45:43.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, caught the Ben McDaniels miked up, which I did

0:45:44.040 --> 0:45:46.720
<v Speaker 2>last night. Ben's awesome. I don't know if it always

0:45:46.719 --> 0:45:48.560
<v Speaker 2>comes through on the miked up because he kind of

0:45:48.600 --> 0:45:50.400
<v Speaker 2>knows when he's miked up. But he's pretty good and

0:45:50.440 --> 0:45:53.160
<v Speaker 2>he's a really really good coach. And he calls Hig Higg.

0:45:53.880 --> 0:45:56.680
<v Speaker 2>It's funny to know the nicknames that they they call

0:45:56.920 --> 0:46:00.320
<v Speaker 2>each other. Until we get him in studio and sometimes

0:46:00.360 --> 0:46:02.520
<v Speaker 2>they'll use a nickname when they're referring to somebody and

0:46:02.520 --> 0:46:05.319
<v Speaker 2>we're like, wait, who, But yeah, we caught up on

0:46:05.360 --> 0:46:08.160
<v Speaker 2>that one. Hag was great today. He had a tremendous practice.

0:46:08.200 --> 0:46:11.279
<v Speaker 2>He and Cjr. Really linked up, really linked up, and

0:46:11.320 --> 0:46:13.880
<v Speaker 2>Tank only did a little bit. Nico did not practice,

0:46:13.920 --> 0:46:15.920
<v Speaker 2>so he got a step up and he did. And

0:46:15.960 --> 0:46:19.400
<v Speaker 2>he's done that many many times in his short career

0:46:19.400 --> 0:46:20.440
<v Speaker 2>here with the Texans.

0:46:20.480 --> 0:46:22.360
<v Speaker 1>So love his growth, love he's been able to do.

0:46:22.440 --> 0:46:23.959
<v Speaker 1>But man, the receiver's been really good.

0:46:24.120 --> 0:46:29.920
<v Speaker 2>Josh Kelly and Lewis Bond have been highly noticeable, highly noticeable.

0:46:30.080 --> 0:46:33.600
<v Speaker 2>They've been fantastic. Josh Kelly had to catch it the

0:46:33.680 --> 0:46:35.560
<v Speaker 2>day of one hander that he kind of brought into

0:46:35.560 --> 0:46:38.040
<v Speaker 2>his body a couple of defenders around him.

0:46:38.040 --> 0:46:40.000
<v Speaker 1>He snagged it was really really good catch.

0:46:40.040 --> 0:46:42.840
<v Speaker 2>Receivers had played very well and I cannot wait to

0:46:42.880 --> 0:46:46.040
<v Speaker 2>get more practice from Tank, to get more from Jalen No.

0:46:46.200 --> 0:46:48.399
<v Speaker 2>Hopefully will be back relatively soon. And once you got

0:46:48.400 --> 0:46:51.480
<v Speaker 2>the full arsenal, boy, that is a really tough group

0:46:51.600 --> 0:46:54.640
<v Speaker 2>to stop. Appreciate Hig for stopping by Reggie and John

0:46:54.680 --> 0:46:58.560
<v Speaker 2>of course, the best of friends and great broadcasters appreciate them.

0:46:58.600 --> 0:47:03.279
<v Speaker 1>Figgy fig back in studio. It's been tremendous being with.
