1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:01,800
Speaker 1: Hello Texans, Welcome to the show.

2
00:00:01,880 --> 00:00:05,720
Speaker 2: You're joined tonight by Ohio residence Mark VanderMeer and John Harris.

3
00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:06,920
Speaker 1: At least it feels that way.

4
00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:09,239
Speaker 2: We've been here for over a week now, Johnny, and

5
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:11,320
Speaker 2: it's a great day because we are with the Houston

6
00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:14,800
Speaker 2: Texans on the road and there's nothing like it. As

7
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:17,840
Speaker 2: the team heads for Pittsburgh tomorrow to take on the

8
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:20,800
Speaker 2: Steelers Friday night. That's live at six right here and

9
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:23,959
Speaker 2: on ABC thirteen with Johnny Harris in the booth. And

10
00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:26,400
Speaker 2: I was reminded of that today and this is actually

11
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:30,040
Speaker 2: something that I helped put together. But now that I

12
00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:31,840
Speaker 2: have to deal with the reality of you not being

13
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:34,120
Speaker 2: on the radio sideline, I don't know if I'm emotionally

14
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:36,120
Speaker 2: ready for that. Johnny is andre and I will do

15
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:38,440
Speaker 2: the game. Robert Hensley will chime in a bit, but

16
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:41,280
Speaker 2: you'll be in the booth with Andy Kalou and Kevin

17
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:45,000
Speaker 2: Kugler of course of Fox Fame, and Shelby Coppy shall

18
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:46,440
Speaker 2: be on the sideline. It's gonna be a good cruise,

19
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:47,240
Speaker 2: should be a lot of fun.

20
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:50,519
Speaker 3: I'm looking forward to and obviously just having the intel

21
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:53,800
Speaker 3: of what we've had the entire time we've been up here. Now,

22
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 3: today's practice was not it's really a saint. Today's practice

23
00:00:58,120 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 3: the darn pads on. It was a walk through a

24
00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 3: week it was.

25
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:02,160
Speaker 1: I called it a sprint through.

26
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:04,760
Speaker 3: Okay, that's why I call it because they didn't quite

27
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:08,679
Speaker 3: walk through everything. They had a pep in their step

28
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 3: as they were doing things, but the defense pulled.

29
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 1: Off let them complete passes three quarter speed.

30
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:18,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, pretty much three quarters to you know, one hundred percent,

31
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 3: but like the defensive line would throw like an initial

32
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:22,960
Speaker 3: move and then kind of hold up and give the

33
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 3: quarterbacks time to throw.

34
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:26,160
Speaker 1: And Dimko said it afterwards.

35
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 3: He said, it was a pretty crisp and clean practice,

36
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:30,920
Speaker 3: which it was, and there was no rain and it

37
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 3: was awesome.

38
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 1: It was like seventy degrees.

39
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 2: Sorry, now we're back on the greenbrier of talking about

40
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:40,120
Speaker 2: what is.

41
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 3: But it helped them get through the day. You know,

42
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 3: the guys weren't dying at the end of practice. I

43
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 3: talked to Disease out shore for a little bit and

44
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 3: he is really really fun to talk to.

45
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 1: I mean, he is really fun to talk to.

46
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 3: So I'm looking forward to a great season from him

47
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 3: and just talking about the defense. And I said I

48
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 3: told him I was I was really upset with him

49
00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 3: for going.

50
00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 1: To Tennessee and he just laughed. I was like, I

51
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 1: wanted you hear, and he goes I wanted to be

52
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 1: and used in two.

53
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 3: But it worked out. You got here in twenty twenty four,

54
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 3: So that's good. But it's it's been a it's been

55
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 3: a few. The three days they've had up here, I

56
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 3: think have been have been pretty good. They they really

57
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:14,640
Speaker 3: had a lot of contact the last couple of days.

58
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:16,800
Speaker 3: They got after each other and then kind of pulled

59
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,520
Speaker 3: back to contact today, no pads and really kind of

60
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 3: kind of taper themselves.

61
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 1: And the swimmers use that term, you know, taper. They

62
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 1: taper for a meat.

63
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 3: They get themselves, you know, revved up, but then they

64
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:29,680
Speaker 3: kind of slow it down so that when they hit the.

65
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 1: Meat, they're just they're boomed, they're ready to go.

66
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 3: And I think that's kind of the way to Meeta

67
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 3: wants it to be on Friday, So looking forward to that.

68
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:38,080
Speaker 3: On Friday, get a game in Pittsburgh, and after that

69
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:40,800
Speaker 3: we're basically home for the next for a month yeap

70
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 3: until Indy.

71
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 1: Yeah until Indy.

72
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:44,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, you have you two games and then you have

73
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 2: the two weeks because you have the lack of a

74
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 2: fourth preseason game, so you have that bye week if

75
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 2: you will. But they'll be practicing, they'll be ramping up

76
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 2: to Week one, and they'll have to make roster decisions

77
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:54,919
Speaker 2: pretty soon.

78
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 1: Here.

79
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 2: It's all gonna happen very fast. Like I said yesterday,

80
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:00,919
Speaker 2: and side note by the way you mentioned or whatever

81
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 2: however you want to word that. Yeah, whatever happened to

82
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:06,519
Speaker 2: this Chip Kelly, And I think the Migo was part

83
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 2: of that. I think he was on the team when

84
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 2: they used to do that. Friday is a quiet day. Saturday,

85
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 2: they really go after it the twenty four hours before

86
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 2: game day. That was a different mode of thinking that

87
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 2: you go full out on Saturday and that gets you

88
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 2: all lathered up for Sunday. And I guess it worked

89
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 2: for a little bit that year, but ultimately maybe he

90
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 2: got away from that or it just didn't work out

91
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 2: the way he wanted.

92
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think there was probably enough pushback, you know,

93
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 3: the next year at Philadelphia, it didn't go so well

94
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 3: in fourteen, yep, I think by fifteen he was gone,

95
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 3: and then sixteen he was the head coach with the Niners, right,

96
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 3: So I don't you know, I used to think about, well,

97
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 3: he does things a little differently.

98
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 1: I'm not sure I love that one. As a player,

99
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 1: I thought about that point.

100
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 3: I really would like to do what the you know,

101
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 3: kind of what the textans are doing, kind of tapered

102
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 3: towards it, as opposed to, you know, kind of ramp

103
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 3: into it.

104
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 1: I'd like it the other way.

105
00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 3: But I'm sure that's just because that's the way play

106
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 3: it's always been done.

107
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 1: You know, it's always been done that way.

108
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 3: Thursday you practice or in you know, NFL World Friday

109
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 3: you practice pretty hard, right, Saturday is your walkthrough day,

110
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 3: kind of taper down, and then Sunday you ready your role.

111
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 3: That's always kind of been that way, I guess, and

112
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 3: so if you flip that schedule around, it probably is

113
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 3: a shock to everybody's system, and so it probably has

114
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 3: an initial effect, which it did in twenty thirteen because

115
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 3: he was made to playoffs Nick Foles through no interceptions

116
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 3: basically that year, and then they lost the wildcard round.

117
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,719
Speaker 3: So maybe it didn't work all that well. But it's

118
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:34,160
Speaker 3: definitely interesting, and we have to ask Demiko about it

119
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 3: on a show. It's a good point, we will.

120
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 2: I allowed it to the list of off season things

121
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 2: that have come up or out of regular season things

122
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 2: that have come up that I've wanted to bring up

123
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:46,480
Speaker 2: with him on his weekly program, which starts the day

124
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 2: after the Colts game. That's kind of the first official

125
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 2: Tamiko Ryan's show launches, and we'll get into a lot

126
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 2: of stuff with the head coach. Nick Is serieill join

127
00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:58,839
Speaker 2: us on Tuesdays. You know the rest of the story.

128
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:01,599
Speaker 2: It's gonna be awesome. Wait for week one. A couple

129
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 2: of things about tonight's show. Kay Adams was at practice

130
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 2: today with her entourage and I say auturage. They were

131
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:11,160
Speaker 2: helping her shoot video to a bunch of stuff social media,

132
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:15,720
Speaker 2: and she caught up with Dimico Nico Nikosiol though I

133
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 2: don't know if that was on camera, Daniel Daniel Hunter

134
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 2: and also with us, and we're gonna have it on

135
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 2: this show. She visited with me under the pavilion and

136
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 2: it was just a one on one with me.

137
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 1: Johnny, I'm sorry, but we'll get into Kata. He's not bitter.

138
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 1: It's okay. I want to say. Well, we'll talk about

139
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 1: her in a few moments.

140
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 2: Here, because there's some stuff to share about Kay Adams

141
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 2: and you know I posted some of this, and yeah,

142
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 2: I get response to just about everything I post, but

143
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 2: this might be a record of response I've gotten in

144
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:50,479
Speaker 2: one day over an Instagram post and a tweet, X

145
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,919
Speaker 2: post whatever about an individual. Because a lot of people

146
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 2: have waited to me personally and on the twitters about

147
00:05:57,520 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 2: Kay Adams.

148
00:05:58,000 --> 00:05:58,680
Speaker 1: So we'll get into that.

149
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 2: Also, Andrew Beck full back, you know him, he's back

150
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:03,360
Speaker 2: in practice, should play Friday night.

151
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 1: I would think, thank you.

152
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:07,039
Speaker 2: And one of my new favorite Texans is Chris Boyd

153
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:09,799
Speaker 2: and I'm hoping he makes the team. Longhorn really enjoyed

154
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:11,599
Speaker 2: visiting with him. That's coming up later on in the

155
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 2: hour as well. So you want to stick around to

156
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:15,040
Speaker 2: Texans Radio find out what's going on.

157
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 1: I wanted to get into this first.

158
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:18,479
Speaker 2: Though, before we get to Kay, and Kay will be

159
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:22,599
Speaker 2: in this segment Boys and Girls. But Johnny people ask me,

160
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 2: they ask you position group battles Hot and Heavy. We

161
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 2: are gonna come down to it in the next couple

162
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:31,039
Speaker 2: of weeks. It's time to check in on some of

163
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 2: the groups where we know they have big numbers and

164
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 2: how people are doing. And let's start right here with

165
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 2: the wide receivers because this has been an off season topic.

166
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 2: It got heavier as a topic when they added Ben

167
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 2: Scaronic and then all of a sudden, Seafish shows up.

168
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:49,839
Speaker 2: I mean, I have all these guys out there vying

169
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:52,480
Speaker 2: to make the team, and we need to talk about

170
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:55,680
Speaker 2: how they're doing, how are they looking. And I guess

171
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:58,479
Speaker 2: everybody who's available is going to play Friday night. Now Diggs,

172
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 2: I don't know if he plays Friday against Pittsburgh. We'll

173
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:04,360
Speaker 2: see to make us as starters would play. Diggs might

174
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 2: have a little stuff that I don't know, nothing life threatening,

175
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 2: as a former Texans coach would say. But how you

176
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 2: feeling about the wide receiver group in all and where

177
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 2: it's headed?

178
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 3: Well, obviously the big three you have, and I think

179
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 3: at points during training camp I think, you know, it

180
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 3: was interesting talking to Kay a little bit about this

181
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 3: because she asked a question of Demiko Ryants about having

182
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 3: a true number one wide receiver and she was of

183
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 3: a mindset that you've got to have that true number

184
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 3: one wide receiver. And I think for the Texans, what

185
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 3: they have are three capable guys of being the number

186
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 3: one wide receiver on that day, and to me, that's

187
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:46,640
Speaker 3: more important that you give teams the dilemma like, Okay,

188
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 3: who do you think is more important?

189
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 1: Because we think all three more important.

190
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 3: So if you think Diggs is more important, okay, well

191
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 3: Niko's gonna eat you up. You think Eco's more importantle

192
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 3: tanks gonna eat you up. So to me, I feel

193
00:07:56,760 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 3: like if you have number one capable receivers plural, and

194
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 3: it's just a matter of on Sunday, how that goes down,

195
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 3: I think that's I think that's the perfect situation now.

196
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 3: I you know, like, like I said, I think Kay

197
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 3: was more of a mindset, well, you know, you gotta

198
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 3: gotta have that one, number one, And I was like,

199
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:17,080
Speaker 3: I don't know if I feel like we have the

200
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 3: number one? Okay, well who is it that guy on Sunday?

201
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 3: And I'd rather have that situation. But I think the

202
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 3: Big three have played played pretty well. I think that

203
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 3: the next guy you could say in line to me,

204
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 3: if you said rank them one.

205
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:31,680
Speaker 1: You know, one through you know whatever, number four would

206
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:33,280
Speaker 1: be Xavier Hutchinson. Wow.

207
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 3: Clearly, I think he has clearly set himself apart from

208
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 3: everybody else in the kind of the the the non

209
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:40,679
Speaker 3: Big three tiers.

210
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 1: I think he has definitely set himself apart.

211
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 3: Now Noah Brown, who you would think would be in

212
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:47,080
Speaker 3: a mix, has not been up here, so we haven't

213
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 3: had a chance to see Noah, so that I don't

214
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 3: I don't know how that's gonna set him back. Some

215
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:54,719
Speaker 3: guys have stepped up, act has stepped up, especially in

216
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 3: the Hall of Fame game. Ben Skeronic has really stepped up.

217
00:08:57,800 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 3: And you know what he's gonna give you on special teams.

218
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:02,320
Speaker 3: I know, Frank has to really love what he's gonna

219
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 3: get out of Chronic on special teams. And then Robert

220
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 3: Woods just does his steady thing day in and day out.

221
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:12,320
Speaker 1: And those are the guys, I mean, those those six.

222
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:16,079
Speaker 1: Now Steven Simms has been really good, like Steven Simms.

223
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:19,559
Speaker 3: And how about this this this stood out to me today.

224
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 3: You and I were up there, You're waiting for for

225
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 3: K to walk up to the interview. We look over

226
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:28,240
Speaker 3: and there's probably four guys left on the field. There's

227
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:32,840
Speaker 3: Nico Collins having just signed the twenty four twenty five

228
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 3: million dollar ap Y contract, the extension every talk about offseason.

229
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:39,960
Speaker 1: Gets that extension. He's over there catching fifty to seventy

230
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:41,400
Speaker 1: five passes from a drugs machine.

231
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:43,600
Speaker 3: Yep, everybody else gone and he's there, and I'm like,

232
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:46,440
Speaker 3: I just I just loved seeing that because that's just

233
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 3: that's really what he's he's been about. And the guy

234
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:51,440
Speaker 3: over there with him with Steven Simms, I think Steven's

235
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 3: played really well.

236
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:52,679
Speaker 1: Yep.

237
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,720
Speaker 3: I just don't know how the numbers really are gonna.

238
00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 3: I don't know how you make it out with the numbers.

239
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 3: And I just think one of those guy eyes that

240
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:05,800
Speaker 3: that I mentioned is probably either traded or I don't

241
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:08,439
Speaker 3: want to say a surprise release because really, I mean,

242
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:10,320
Speaker 3: other than the big three, I don't know if any

243
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:13,840
Speaker 3: of those guys were released, I'd be surprised. I think X,

244
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 3: if Hutchinson were I would be a little bit, just

245
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:18,079
Speaker 3: because I think X has been so.

246
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 1: Good this training camp. But nothing else will surprise me.

247
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:24,600
Speaker 3: With the receiver group, I think it's been good and

248
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:28,199
Speaker 3: Scronic has been good. But once you get the receivers fives,

249
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 3: I mean, and there again Mark, how many receivers are keeping?

250
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:34,840
Speaker 1: I think six, That's what I think. That's my number.

251
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 1: I think six.

252
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:38,600
Speaker 2: But special teams always factors in Scoronic plays, special teams,

253
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:42,520
Speaker 2: SIMS plays, special teams, Robert Woods play special teams right special.

254
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:45,079
Speaker 2: We've seen Mechi do some things, but not a ton.

255
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 2: So it's hard to weigh that stuff. Because in the

256
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:53,920
Speaker 2: surprise meter category, let's say Scoronic was released, I would say, well, geez,

257
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 2: I waver between. I think he's really important to this

258
00:10:57,080 --> 00:11:00,160
Speaker 2: football team too. If they caught him. I guess, I

259
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 2: just understand that they see things that we don't, and

260
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:06,840
Speaker 2: they understand the body of the group, and they're making

261
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:10,080
Speaker 2: the decision for those reasons or particular reasons that you know,

262
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 2: might not be clear to everybody saw. I just to

263
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:14,720
Speaker 2: have to accept it. That's happened before with this team

264
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:18,280
Speaker 2: releasing players. So it Woods another one. A lot of

265
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:20,720
Speaker 2: people from the outside looking at well, Woods is expendable.

266
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:22,560
Speaker 2: You can trade them, you can cut. I don't know

267
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 2: about that, and I entered camp thinking that way. Now,

268
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 2: one thing I didn't factor into the equation was the

269
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 2: rise of X. Sounds like a good Marvel movie. It's

270
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 2: a good one, the rise of X being a real factor.

271
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:36,560
Speaker 2: I mean, you rank him forth right now and again,

272
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 2: these things can change, but man, oh man, he's looking

273
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 2: good out there. Then Scoronic's making plays, and then Robert

274
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:43,560
Speaker 2: Woods makes plays, and oh, my gosh, what do you do?

275
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 2: Mechi makes plays, so they have a lot of thinking

276
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:50,000
Speaker 2: to do. Maybe the injuries come into play. We don't

277
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:51,839
Speaker 2: know when Noah's going to be back. Like you said,

278
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:54,720
Speaker 2: Noah's another one that you feel like, Yeah, I really

279
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:56,400
Speaker 2: want to know on this football team. We talked about

280
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:58,599
Speaker 2: the games last year in which he was highly instrumental

281
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 2: Tampa Bay, Cincinnati, to name a couple right there, Tennessee.

282
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:05,839
Speaker 2: So man, that's a lot to think about as we

283
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 2: move on here. Has anything changed in the running back

284
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:11,760
Speaker 2: room other than the emergence of Cam Acres as a

285
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 2: possible threat here?

286
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 1: He looked good in the Hall of Fame game.

287
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 2: I'm wondering what Acres does in game two here against

288
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh if he flashes like that again, My goodness.

289
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:23,679
Speaker 1: You're really onto somethings. Yeah.

290
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:27,959
Speaker 3: Absolutely, And it's been interesting up here in Ohio. I

291
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 3: don't think he got as many reps. Maybe they wanted

292
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 3: to look at the rookies a little bit, and I

293
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 3: thought it was interesting. Demiko has asked about the running

294
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 3: backs and he I don't know if he was asked

295
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:39,680
Speaker 3: specifically about the rookies, but I just saw that he

296
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:42,720
Speaker 3: talked about both Jaar Jordan and British Books Brooks, and

297
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 3: he said this was probably the best week of practice

298
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 3: for Jawar Jordan and that I was happy because that

299
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 3: sort of jobs with what I saw as well, Like

300
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 3: he he hit it a couple times on the outside.

301
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:55,160
Speaker 3: He's very decisive with his runs. I thought that was

302
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:58,560
Speaker 3: good to see. And so to hear that about Jaar, like, Okay,

303
00:12:58,880 --> 00:12:59,600
Speaker 3: let's get back.

304
00:12:59,480 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 1: In this mix.

305
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 3: Because when you start thinking about the numbers there, all right,

306
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:07,320
Speaker 3: you gotta think Joe Mixon, Damien Pierce. And Damien's done

307
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:09,720
Speaker 3: his thing up here. We talked to him yesterday, and

308
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:12,520
Speaker 3: I think Damien has run it well. He's done the

309
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:13,760
Speaker 3: things they've wanted him to do.

310
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 1: He's been more.

311
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 3: Decisive, he's gotten vertical quicker, he's been more explosive with

312
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:19,640
Speaker 3: his run. So I think he's done everything there. So

313
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 3: now you get to number three running back? Okay, hey,

314
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 3: how many running backs?

315
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:25,520
Speaker 1: Keeping? Probably four?

316
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:28,319
Speaker 3: But you know is one of those have to be

317
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:32,080
Speaker 3: Darry because Dari has been really really good on special teams.

318
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 2: He's excellent on a third down. I think Dara is

319
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:36,920
Speaker 2: a virtual lock. Yeah, this is my opinion. I haven't

320
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:39,360
Speaker 2: heard it from any of them. You know, I wouldn't

321
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 2: you know, venture out if I didn't really feel strongly

322
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:42,559
Speaker 2: about this.

323
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 1: But again, if they they.

324
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:46,520
Speaker 2: End up cutting up and thinking, well, I guess Jordan

325
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:48,480
Speaker 2: can do some of those things, or whoever else they

326
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:50,440
Speaker 2: deem to be able to do those things that he does.

327
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:52,880
Speaker 2: But Johnny, he's so handy, he could do so many

328
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 2: different things. And he loved that about him. He loved

329
00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:58,200
Speaker 2: that about scoronic Andro Woods. Certain position groups have those

330
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:00,200
Speaker 2: guys who can play multiple position.

331
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 1: Is like back for instance, Yeah, I mean you know,

332
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 1: then you got a guy like JJ Taylor.

333
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 3: Every time JJ Taylor gets the football, something good happens

334
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:10,720
Speaker 3: and you're like, man, he's had a really good camp.

335
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 1: So to me, I think the.

336
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 3: The preseason games and maybe it's like this all the time,

337
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 3: but because you have more practices, obviously more stock is

338
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:21,320
Speaker 3: put into that.

339
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 1: But once you get into preseason games, now you see

340
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 1: a player with the lights go on.

341
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 3: I mean, JJ pops at one against the Bears and

342
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 3: you think, oh man, you get taken that.

343
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 1: To the house. What if he takes that to the house.

344
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:32,400
Speaker 3: Now, all of a sudden, there's all this discussion about JJ,

345
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:35,960
Speaker 3: but he's had he's had a great, great camp. So

346
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:39,480
Speaker 3: it comes down to, all right, if Pierce you say

347
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:43,880
Speaker 3: you're keeping four and Pierson mixing her locks, that means

348
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:49,640
Speaker 3: that you can only keep two of the following Dara Acres.

349
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:53,000
Speaker 1: JJ and Juwar Jordan.

350
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:56,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, so that's tough, Like, oh, man, I gotta keep

351
00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:59,520
Speaker 3: and I drafted you are this staff drafted j are

352
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:04,680
Speaker 3: So man, it gets really difficult really fast. But I'd

353
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:07,040
Speaker 3: like to keep eight running backs. But that's just it's

354
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:09,560
Speaker 3: not gonna happen. Even British Brooks. I know British has

355
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:11,200
Speaker 3: not talked about a lot, but British made a really

356
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:14,960
Speaker 3: nice catch day and seven on seven he's been really solid.

357
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 3: And that's the guy you'd love to be able to

358
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:19,360
Speaker 3: bring brack up big bring back on practice squad. The

359
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:22,560
Speaker 3: question becomes, now you get sixteen on practice squad, seventeen

360
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:26,080
Speaker 3: If if Killian Zur is one of those guys, because

361
00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:27,760
Speaker 3: he's the international player, well.

362
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 2: We'll get to him because the way things are right now,

363
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 2: he's got to make the team.

364
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:32,160
Speaker 1: He might make the.

365
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:35,680
Speaker 3: Team, yeah, because they're so low alignment. But but how

366
00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 3: many running.

367
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:38,560
Speaker 1: Backs do you keep on practice squad? Yeah? How many?

368
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:41,360
Speaker 3: How many can you really be afforded to keep on

369
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:44,320
Speaker 3: practice squad, and then the crossover becomes, all right, well,

370
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:46,480
Speaker 3: we're gonna take away one of the running backs to

371
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:49,720
Speaker 3: keep just three because we got to have sims for returns. Yeah,

372
00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 3: so now it just really gets it really gets dicey.

373
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:57,120
Speaker 3: But that's why I think it becomes more clear Friday night.

374
00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:00,720
Speaker 3: Once you play the Steelers, you'll see more than likely

375
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:04,760
Speaker 3: everybody that's healthy able to play, and you'll get those

376
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:07,680
Speaker 3: guys the running back room. You'll get JJ Carries, You're

377
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:10,440
Speaker 3: gonna get jar Jordan Carries, You're gonna get Darry a

378
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:14,640
Speaker 3: few looks. Obviously, Damien's gonna get his first look at preseason,

379
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:16,840
Speaker 3: so he's excited about that, if we talked to him yesterday.

380
00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 3: So you're gonna get everybody a few carries, and they're

381
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:21,320
Speaker 3: gonna have an opportunity to show a little bit more.

382
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:25,040
Speaker 3: So maybe there's more separation, Maybe you get Okay, now

383
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:27,720
Speaker 3: we're starting to see some separation between these guys and

384
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:31,040
Speaker 3: this guy, and that I think can definitely help on Friday,

385
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:33,560
Speaker 3: because right now it just seems like a logjam. I'm

386
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 3: not totally sure how it's gonna really play out based

387
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 3: on what I've seen training camp, because I've seen good

388
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:39,320
Speaker 3: things from all of them. I don't know that I

389
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:41,560
Speaker 3: look at one of them and go, ah, nice, I

390
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:44,040
Speaker 3: don't see them all right, Well, we focused on a

391
00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 3: couple of position groups and a little bit about the line.

392
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:49,040
Speaker 2: Maybe more about the line later because that's a subject

393
00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 2: we need to dig into. We're gonna have McClain on

394
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:54,200
Speaker 2: tomorrow as well, on the eve of preseason game two

395
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 2: for the Texans one for everybody else. But let's get

396
00:16:56,920 --> 00:17:00,880
Speaker 2: into this now, as promised. She visited today from fan duel.

397
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:04,600
Speaker 2: She's on YouTube, linear TV, all over the place, social media.

398
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:07,040
Speaker 1: K Adams Kay, First of all.

399
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:09,080
Speaker 4: Welcome, thank you, thank you for having me.

400
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:10,159
Speaker 1: It's so great to see you.

401
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:13,640
Speaker 2: I've been watching you on TV, digital video wherever I can.

402
00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:16,080
Speaker 2: What's the difference for you between doing a show in

403
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 2: a big TV studio and doing a show like in

404
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:20,720
Speaker 2: your living room on whatever technology you have.

405
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:22,920
Speaker 4: It's much more fun to be out in the field

406
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:25,960
Speaker 4: anywhere away from the studio studio. Everything's controlled. It gets

407
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:27,840
Speaker 4: boring and you're out in the field having to do

408
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:30,240
Speaker 4: something in your hotel, in the car and the way here.

409
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:33,160
Speaker 4: Look at where we are right now University school Go Preppers.

410
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:36,080
Speaker 2: Oh you know the nickname too. I think they should

411
00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:37,680
Speaker 2: change it. It's not intimidating enough.

412
00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:39,960
Speaker 4: I don't know. Have you seen Nikosia on those vests

413
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:42,080
Speaker 4: walking around? It looks pretty intimidating. Can I just tell

414
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:44,600
Speaker 4: the world that I saw AGM for the first time.

415
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:46,760
Speaker 4: It's been to a lot of camps in my lifetime.

416
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:49,960
Speaker 4: Standing in the end zone during a live period of

417
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:52,679
Speaker 4: red zone action. One post and he would have been

418
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:53,320
Speaker 4: knocked out.

419
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:54,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, amazing.

420
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:55,360
Speaker 4: He's a badass.

421
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:57,439
Speaker 2: And here we are, all right, So how did your

422
00:17:57,480 --> 00:17:59,160
Speaker 2: interviews go with the Texans personnel?

423
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:00,119
Speaker 1: Specifically to meet.

424
00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 4: Also, you know I always compare energetically how things go

425
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:05,919
Speaker 4: as far as organizationally right, things matter from top to bottom.

426
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:08,800
Speaker 4: This one, they were on a tight schedule. Would you

427
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:11,280
Speaker 4: love not for me or for you? But we love

428
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:13,119
Speaker 4: it for the team. We love the discipline, we love

429
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 4: the buses are here. We're keeping our schedule. We're not

430
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:18,359
Speaker 4: lollygagging around. You have five minutes, seven minutes. So I

431
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:20,920
Speaker 4: had a short time with them. But Dimiga Ryan smiley

432
00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:23,520
Speaker 4: as ever, and I asked him why, and it really

433
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:26,000
Speaker 4: seems like he's happy. He's settled he said, I have

434
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:28,320
Speaker 4: a beautiful family, I have a great team. I told

435
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:29,680
Speaker 4: him you were robbed of Coach of the Year. I

436
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:31,600
Speaker 4: would be smiling if I were you. I couldn't get

437
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:35,280
Speaker 4: him there, and it sort of seems to be a calm, cool,

438
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:38,359
Speaker 4: dialed in atmosphere around here. So it was nice to

439
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:41,440
Speaker 4: talk to him. I've never met him before. We spoke,

440
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:43,480
Speaker 4: you know a lot about energy about you know, do

441
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:45,159
Speaker 4: you like being known as a player's coach? There's some

442
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 4: stigmas to that. Is it a good thing? Is it

443
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:49,720
Speaker 4: a bad thing? He seems to embrace it as caring

444
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:51,320
Speaker 4: about his players. He's going to have, you know, some

445
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:54,160
Speaker 4: questions here Stefan Diggs in the building I was in Buffalo.

446
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:56,320
Speaker 4: Everyone wants to make that a story. It's a non

447
00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:58,600
Speaker 4: story here right now. So I'm hoping it stays that way,

448
00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:00,000
Speaker 4: and he seems to be up to that task.

449
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:02,920
Speaker 2: Kay Adams with us, how surprised were you about last

450
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:04,360
Speaker 2: year's success for this team?

451
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:07,520
Speaker 4: I'm not because I know Nick Casario because I worked

452
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 4: in New England and I knew on draft night what

453
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:12,960
Speaker 4: he pulled off. I knew that it would come to

454
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:15,520
Speaker 4: fruition and it has. With obviously Will Anderson and c

455
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:19,239
Speaker 4: J Stroud. Just watching him, Just watching CJ, you know,

456
00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 4: as commanding as he is and what he can do.

457
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:23,119
Speaker 4: Talking to de Neil Hunter the new out today. That's

458
00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:26,320
Speaker 4: an intimidating man. That is someone who has seen really

459
00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:28,600
Speaker 4: great quarterbacks. He's you know, a guy who sacks Mahomes

460
00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:30,800
Speaker 4: and took down Jalen Hurts in a single game last

461
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 4: year as a Viking. So him speaking about the presence

462
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:36,800
Speaker 4: in the pocket, how impressive it is of CJ. Stroud.

463
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:39,320
Speaker 4: I wasn't surprised at all with his success. I just think,

464
00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:42,040
Speaker 4: you know, it is hard to put out your first

465
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:46,280
Speaker 4: album and then you get the Grammys for Best New Album,

466
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:48,239
Speaker 4: and how do you come up with the second? You

467
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:51,800
Speaker 4: ask any artist, any rock star, about that second album

468
00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:54,359
Speaker 4: and how hard it is to meet the standard and

469
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:56,000
Speaker 4: exceed it. We'll see you.

470
00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:58,600
Speaker 2: Don't want to be like Boston, Okay, I do dated

471
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:02,520
Speaker 2: classic rock references forgive me, kay? What about where else

472
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:04,160
Speaker 2: have you been so far to cover camp?

473
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 4: Not Boston but Foxborough? Nic Assaria's old stomping grounds, Elliott

474
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 4: Wolf in charge there now. So we're seeing the next

475
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:14,440
Speaker 4: you know, next gen sort of progressive vibe of new Zeland.

476
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:16,679
Speaker 4: So that was really interesting. We did, you know, the Rams,

477
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:18,480
Speaker 4: they'll be huge contenders, are being slept on in the

478
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:22,720
Speaker 4: NFC West. I believe we did Philly, we did Commanders,

479
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:24,359
Speaker 4: we did Jets. We're going to go back and do

480
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:28,639
Speaker 4: Giants bills where else cap they sort of just you know,

481
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:30,320
Speaker 4: they packed me up and sweep me off to place

482
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:33,520
Speaker 4: to place. We'll head into Chicago tomorrow and then we're

483
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:35,480
Speaker 4: going to go visit those Niners, which will be really

484
00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:38,760
Speaker 4: interesting to see how they're shaping up and whether or not,

485
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:41,320
Speaker 4: you know, Brandon A youugill be there doing.

486
00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:43,320
Speaker 2: What you do. Do you still root for a team?

487
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:45,359
Speaker 2: Do you still have passion for a single team or

488
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 2: a couple? How does that work for you?

489
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:48,720
Speaker 4: K Now, I feel like I'm a mother of thirty

490
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:51,600
Speaker 4: two children. I think that happened during Good Morning Football.

491
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 1: Now.

492
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 4: Do I have favorites? Sure, Bengals among them. Absolutely. Going

493
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:57,560
Speaker 4: to Cincinnati was super fun. I'm going to Chicago tomorrow

494
00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:01,120
Speaker 4: after you know, forty years of torturous you know, non

495
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:03,760
Speaker 4: quarterback play. The best, we can say, the best franchise

496
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:08,119
Speaker 4: quarterback in Chicago Bear's history is j Cutler, which is insane.

497
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:10,199
Speaker 4: So now we have our guy, and we have our

498
00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:13,200
Speaker 4: guy with the best situation any rookie's ever walked into.

499
00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:17,040
Speaker 4: So am I expecting a C. J. Stroud show? Yeah?

500
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:17,480
Speaker 4: I am.

501
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:19,280
Speaker 2: Do you think that puts a lot of pressure on

502
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:21,359
Speaker 2: these young quarterbacks to see what Stroud.

503
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:25,320
Speaker 4: Did I do? Especially in Chicago where they really went

504
00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:27,399
Speaker 4: in and they brought Keenan in and they brought they

505
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:30,359
Speaker 4: drafted Rome and they said, we have a window and

506
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:32,080
Speaker 4: we're doing it. I think the pressure is on Caleb,

507
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:34,639
Speaker 4: but the pressure's more on coach Ebra Flush and I

508
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:38,560
Speaker 4: you know, and talking to Casario over the year, you know,

509
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:43,800
Speaker 4: his maybe best situation was inheriting and empowering Damika Ryans,

510
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:46,280
Speaker 4: Like they it's always really important to see what is

511
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:48,399
Speaker 4: the dynamic, how do they work back the coach is

512
00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:50,320
Speaker 4: out there on the field during these drills, during these

513
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:52,800
Speaker 4: practices that they're here at his old high school, like

514
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:55,240
Speaker 4: they just get along and they seem both easy to

515
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:58,040
Speaker 4: get along with. They're aligned on the matter at hand

516
00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:00,639
Speaker 4: and let's go and me, oh, I love I love it.

517
00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:02,560
Speaker 4: We have a defense, you know, defensive mind. New coaches

518
00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:05,879
Speaker 4: are endangered, right, so I think he carries the burden

519
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:08,840
Speaker 4: a little bit of the responsibility rather of I if

520
00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:11,080
Speaker 4: I shine. You know who is a him? Sean mcdermoand's

521
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:13,560
Speaker 4: there's very few of them now, and there's dcs all

522
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:16,480
Speaker 4: across this league that are saying, Dimiico, go win this

523
00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:20,240
Speaker 4: thing and bring some sexiness back to the defensive coordinator position.

524
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:23,000
Speaker 2: Great point. Give me a team or two that not

525
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:25,679
Speaker 2: too many people are talking about that you expect pretty

526
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:27,760
Speaker 2: good things from. Doesn't have to be a super Bowl run,

527
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:30,280
Speaker 2: but maybe better than expected. A team or two out

528
00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:31,040
Speaker 2: there that might.

529
00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:31,480
Speaker 1: Be on your mind.

530
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:34,000
Speaker 4: Oh man, I think the Texans are contenders, so we

531
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:36,359
Speaker 4: can't talk about them in that way. I'll go with

532
00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:38,760
Speaker 4: your division rival, though maybe I'll go with the Colts.

533
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:42,760
Speaker 4: I think Anthony Richardson. Anytimes a there's an injury, we

534
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:45,320
Speaker 4: forget about the quarterback. Joe Burrow said that. He said

535
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:48,240
Speaker 4: I was forgotten. I feel forgotten, and that's what happens.

536
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:50,800
Speaker 4: He looks tremendous in camp. I think you know they

537
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:52,800
Speaker 4: hate you. You guys hate them. And those are two

538
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:55,879
Speaker 4: games between Zayre and CJ and all the antics in

539
00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:57,840
Speaker 4: the off season. I'm excited to see those play out

540
00:22:57,840 --> 00:22:59,960
Speaker 4: on the field early. All right, One more for you.

541
00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:04,080
Speaker 2: The way media is changing, and you have great perspective

542
00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:06,159
Speaker 2: on this. You are on a great TV show and

543
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:09,040
Speaker 2: now you do great digital video, social media. How do

544
00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:10,840
Speaker 2: you see it? Where do you see it going? How

545
00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:12,920
Speaker 2: do you feel about the business right now?

546
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:15,679
Speaker 4: Well, you know, my show is on television. It's just

547
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:18,640
Speaker 4: you know, a couple couple stations down from NFL network,

548
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:21,520
Speaker 4: so I am on cable television. I just think, you know,

549
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:25,720
Speaker 4: content is now the word. It's not TV, it's everything

550
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:27,919
Speaker 4: you do has to be everywhere. We're living in an

551
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:31,320
Speaker 4: age where I'm more focused and evolving into wanting things

552
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:35,800
Speaker 4: to be viewed on your phone and snapshots and little

553
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:38,000
Speaker 4: pieces of content. People don't watch full shows anymore. We

554
00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:41,119
Speaker 4: just consume differently. So I think there's a big responsibility

555
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:44,240
Speaker 4: in that, and it's not great because then there's clickbait

556
00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:47,320
Speaker 4: and then there's you know, things get taken out of context.

557
00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:48,960
Speaker 4: So I think that's sort of what I'm focused on.

558
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:52,280
Speaker 4: Still having the same integrity and credibility even though you're

559
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:54,560
Speaker 4: putting something out in a clip that you have the

560
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:57,080
Speaker 4: responsibility of getting right, and you have to frame the

561
00:23:57,160 --> 00:24:00,359
Speaker 4: right caption so that you're credible and not offensive. Don't

562
00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:02,600
Speaker 4: always get it right. Nobody does, but that's something that

563
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:05,280
Speaker 4: I think is really important right now. But content's going in.

564
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:08,080
Speaker 4: You know, Wayne Gretzky said, don't skate to where the

565
00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:10,080
Speaker 4: puck is, skate to where it's going. And that's sort

566
00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:12,760
Speaker 4: of what I did in partnering with FanDuel saying this

567
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:15,479
Speaker 4: is you know, the world leader Fandals and number one

568
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:18,879
Speaker 4: America Sportsbook. They want to put out great content. They

569
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:21,600
Speaker 4: want to empower me to do it as icy fit

570
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:24,159
Speaker 4: and celebrate the league that I love and that the

571
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:26,920
Speaker 4: league knows that I love. So I think just going

572
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:30,479
Speaker 4: to the places that have the resources and that want

573
00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:33,840
Speaker 4: to put out great content that the fans want has

574
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:36,080
Speaker 4: always sort of been my compass great stuff.

575
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:37,120
Speaker 2: So great to visit with.

Speaker 1: Awesome, Thanks Key Texans.

583
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:52,439
Speaker 2: The end of New Orleans, Well there's our visit with

584
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:55,760
Speaker 2: K Johnny and I have to say she was delightful

585
00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:58,560
Speaker 2: because she stayed with us for what another forty five

586
00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:01,720
Speaker 2: minutes or so, just to chat, just chopping it up

587
00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:04,399
Speaker 2: with Kay Adams, and she just it wasn't like she

588
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:07,000
Speaker 2: was pumping us for information necessarily. I mean, she wanted

589
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:08,399
Speaker 2: to know a few things, but she just wanted to

590
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:12,480
Speaker 2: talk talk NFL. You could tell she loves this stuff.

591
00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:16,159
Speaker 2: She loves football. There's no doubt she knows her stuff.

592
00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:18,359
Speaker 2: You might not agree with everything she says, but she

593
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:20,840
Speaker 2: is an absolute adoration.

594
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:21,800
Speaker 1: For the sport that we adore.

595
00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:23,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I think that's you're right, that's probably the

596
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:26,800
Speaker 3: coolest part about her. She seemed so down to earth,

597
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:30,920
Speaker 3: just chatting about various things about the you know, where

598
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:33,440
Speaker 3: she'd been, what trips she had made. She wanted to

599
00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:36,400
Speaker 3: talk to us about the Texans and she just absolutely

600
00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:38,680
Speaker 3: loves you know, Nick and Dimiko, And I think that's

601
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:39,240
Speaker 3: really cool.

602
00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:41,719
Speaker 1: But yeah, it was pretty clear. And you could hear

603
00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:42,680
Speaker 1: in that interview too.

604
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:45,119
Speaker 3: You know, some people for five to seven minute interview,

605
00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:47,440
Speaker 3: they can kind of they can kind of find their

606
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:50,000
Speaker 3: juice and kind of play it up and you know,

607
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:52,960
Speaker 3: play play the role if you will. But she got

608
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:55,080
Speaker 3: done with that, she started chatting the same way. She

609
00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:58,399
Speaker 3: was just you know, I want to ask about Stefan Diggs.

610
00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:00,920
Speaker 3: She was asking about, you know, who's doing a warm

611
00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:03,160
Speaker 3: wide receiver, what to look for you defensively, how they're

612
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:05,560
Speaker 3: gonna mean. She was very interested in everything that was

613
00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:08,160
Speaker 3: going on, and you can just tell she's a football head,

614
00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:09,880
Speaker 3: and I think that's pretty cool.

615
00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:11,800
Speaker 1: There's a lot of people that just do their job

616
00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:12,960
Speaker 1: and they walk away. It's fine.

617
00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:15,480
Speaker 3: You can tell that she loves She loves the game,

618
00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:17,719
Speaker 3: she loves everything about it. She loves going to all

619
00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:20,400
Speaker 3: these different places too. She talked about going to Chicago,

620
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:23,160
Speaker 3: where she's from tonight. They were taking a five hour

621
00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:25,919
Speaker 3: drive and you think, oh, man, five hour jobs is

622
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:28,159
Speaker 3: gonna suck. Whatever she goes, yeah, five hours will be there.

623
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:29,840
Speaker 3: And then we got the Bears and then she started

624
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:31,560
Speaker 3: talking about the Bears with us, and I was just like,

625
00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:34,320
Speaker 3: she loves what she does, she loves ball, and I

626
00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:36,200
Speaker 3: think that was really cool. It was cool.

627
00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:38,840
Speaker 2: And I miss her on Good Morning Football, and I

628
00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:41,000
Speaker 2: think I miss everybody on Good Morning Football because now

629
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:43,480
Speaker 2: it's in LA and it's just weird. It's a weird show.

630
00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:45,240
Speaker 2: Now you know they're getting up at two in the

631
00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:47,080
Speaker 2: morning to do it. I was talking to Steve Wise

632
00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:51,280
Speaker 2: the other day, and he used to host nfl AM

633
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:53,920
Speaker 2: when they started the morning show out there in LA

634
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:55,639
Speaker 2: and they're all getting up at two in the morning,

635
00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:58,800
Speaker 2: and I can't remember the names of everybody on that program.

636
00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:00,919
Speaker 1: Was read on the program with him?

637
00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:04,080
Speaker 2: I think he might have been, But anyway, that was

638
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:06,320
Speaker 2: a weird deal out in LA. I just think it's

639
00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:09,119
Speaker 2: tough to host a morning show from LA when the

640
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:11,480
Speaker 2: East Coast is such an important part of your audience.

641
00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:14,439
Speaker 2: But that's just my commentary in the whole situation. It

642
00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:16,280
Speaker 2: was really cool to catch up with her. If you

643
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:19,119
Speaker 2: miss part of that, we're gonna have it on the podcast,

644
00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:22,000
Speaker 2: so you can go to Houston Texans dot com or Spotify,

645
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:24,840
Speaker 2: Apple after we are done here today. Coming up on

646
00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:29,040
Speaker 2: the show, Andrew Beck fullback Johnny visits with him, I

647
00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:31,600
Speaker 2: visit with Chris Boyd. Let's dig into the old line

648
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:34,239
Speaker 2: a little bit, because looks a little shaky right now

649
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:36,359
Speaker 2: as far as healthy bodies available.

650
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:36,960
Speaker 1: But you never know.

651
00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:39,800
Speaker 2: By Friday night, and of course you still have several

652
00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:42,640
Speaker 2: weeks to go. You're four weeks away from Sunday from

653
00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:46,800
Speaker 2: playing in regular season Game one, so we'll find out

654
00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:50,560
Speaker 2: how it all goes it's Texans Radio. It's Texans Radio,

655
00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:52,560
Speaker 2: and it's great to have you with us tonight. And

656
00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:56,320
Speaker 2: if you look at what Kay Adams shot at Texans camp,

657
00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:59,159
Speaker 2: she interviews Dimiko Ryans and for a portion of that

658
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:03,080
Speaker 2: in the background, see John Harris interviewing Andrew Beck and

659
00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:05,879
Speaker 2: we'll listen in on that right now, Johnny and the

660
00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:08,120
Speaker 2: fullback sounds like a sitcom possibility.

661
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:10,000
Speaker 3: Okay, first of all, Andrew, you've gone through I don't

662
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:13,200
Speaker 3: know how many practices with Houston Texans in training camp

663
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:16,040
Speaker 3: in particular, have you ever gone through one where you're

664
00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:18,480
Speaker 3: actually chili during practice?

665
00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:21,000
Speaker 6: I mean, this is definitely the chilliest has been, right.

666
00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:22,399
Speaker 6: I don't know if I don't know if the people

667
00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:24,480
Speaker 6: up here we're asking it's over what the normal is

668
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 6: up here? And he said this is about it, so

669
00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:27,360
Speaker 6: I don't know if he'd say it's chili. But from

670
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:29,840
Speaker 6: us back home coming up here, Yeah, man, this feels nice.

671
00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:31,639
Speaker 6: It's a welcome surprise.

672
00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:32,440
Speaker 1: To that end.

673
00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:34,919
Speaker 3: And I know today's practice is a little bit different

674
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:37,720
Speaker 3: because it's kind of a sprint through, walk through type

675
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:39,320
Speaker 3: of practice. You guys don't have the full pads on,

676
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:41,760
Speaker 3: but when you have, when you get out of the

677
00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:43,280
Speaker 3: weather and you have an opportunity to be up here,

678
00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:44,840
Speaker 3: can you get a little bit more done because you're

679
00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:46,400
Speaker 3: I want to say, a little bit fresher at the end,

680
00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:48,480
Speaker 3: but just the weather's not impacting you as much at

681
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:50,080
Speaker 3: the end of practice as normally does at home.

682
00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:52,640
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, part of part of the reason we

683
00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:54,120
Speaker 6: like doing training camp in Houston is you know, you

684
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:55,520
Speaker 6: got to learn to deal with the elements and stuff

685
00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:57,800
Speaker 6: you can't control, which is a which is a big

686
00:28:57,840 --> 00:28:59,840
Speaker 6: part of what Demico talks about and trains us for.

687
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:02,440
Speaker 6: So you know, that's always nice. But I think the

688
00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:04,040
Speaker 6: trade off is coming up here. You know, you get

689
00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:06,000
Speaker 6: to solely focus on ball, being away from a little

690
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:08,760
Speaker 6: bit and you know, being isolated in the hotel, being

691
00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:10,440
Speaker 6: around your teammates. I think it's always a good thing.

692
00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:12,720
Speaker 6: So you know, there's there's you know, give and take

693
00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:13,480
Speaker 6: in each situation.

694
00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:16,760
Speaker 3: So with the tight end group, with the offensive group,

695
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:19,280
Speaker 3: what's kind of been the uh, it's kind of been

696
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:21,560
Speaker 3: the game djur. You guys play games. You guys play

697
00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:24,680
Speaker 3: you unle players, your card players are your video gamers.

698
00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:26,400
Speaker 3: What's kind of the game djure?

699
00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:27,200
Speaker 1: For the tight ends?

700
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:29,040
Speaker 6: I mean a lot of it's been hanging out and

701
00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:30,040
Speaker 6: watching the Olympics right now.

702
00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:31,400
Speaker 1: Man, it's it's been kind of cool.

703
00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:33,840
Speaker 6: But uh, it's it's been a lot of meetings, a

704
00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 6: lot of lifting and walk through and stuff like that,

705
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:37,280
Speaker 6: so matter not too much time to mess around to

706
00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:38,920
Speaker 6: do games. I think we're doing a full offense dinner

707
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:40,479
Speaker 6: to night, so that'd be pretty fun. Yeah, it's it's

708
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:42,120
Speaker 6: gonna be a lot of people, so hopefully the rookies

709
00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:45,880
Speaker 6: all brought their wallets. But no, it's it's been a

710
00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:47,560
Speaker 6: lot of fun. And like I said, just being around

711
00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:49,920
Speaker 6: your teammates and kind of isolate with everybody in the hotels,

712
00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:51,440
Speaker 6: it's it's been an enjoyable experience.

713
00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:53,560
Speaker 3: Andrew, how much more comfortable are you in year two?

714
00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:57,320
Speaker 3: Just Burbage? Uh, you know, personnel, people you're around every

715
00:29:57,320 --> 00:29:58,880
Speaker 3: single day, just being in Houston.

716
00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:01,080
Speaker 1: Much more comfortable are you in year two? In your one?

717
00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:03,560
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's just you know, the familiarity with the system

718
00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:05,600
Speaker 6: and the guys that you're with. You know, you picked

719
00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:08,240
Speaker 6: up on little nuances that are applicable to each guy

720
00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:10,280
Speaker 6: individually last season, so you kind of know what you're

721
00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:11,960
Speaker 6: getting in though coming in this season and coaches kind

722
00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:13,480
Speaker 6: of know what to expect from you guys, and no

723
00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:16,040
Speaker 6: specific parts of your game that they can really focus

724
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:18,600
Speaker 6: on and work to make better through, especially through training camp.

725
00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:20,920
Speaker 6: You know, find one thing each day that instead of

726
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:22,680
Speaker 6: learning the player and what they need to fix, now

727
00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:24,160
Speaker 6: they know what you're good and not good at, so

728
00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:25,920
Speaker 6: they can isolate the things you aren't too good at

729
00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:28,360
Speaker 6: and I think it'll you know, be beneficial as a whole,

730
00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:30,000
Speaker 6: not only offensive team.

731
00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:32,760
Speaker 1: Okay, did you know? I know ESPN used to do those?

732
00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:34,640
Speaker 1: Did you knows? No, this is a good one. That's

733
00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:40,000
Speaker 1: a good one. You're the only text in history to score.

734
00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:42,560
Speaker 3: Three different ways during a season. We did the mark

735
00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:44,920
Speaker 3: and I did the history on this. Nobody has ever

736
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:47,040
Speaker 3: scored three different ways in a season. You did with

737
00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:50,120
Speaker 3: a kick return, a rushing touchdown, and a receiving touchdown.

738
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:52,920
Speaker 1: If you're throwing a touchdown, you just set it off.

739
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:54,800
Speaker 1: But yeah, you're you're the answer. Did you know?

740
00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:57,200
Speaker 3: You scored three different ways? But I think that also

741
00:30:57,320 --> 00:30:59,200
Speaker 3: highlights what you bring to this team?

742
00:30:59,280 --> 00:30:59,680
Speaker 1: Do you not?

743
00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:00,440
Speaker 3: You know?

744
00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:01,560
Speaker 1: I hope, so, I hope.

745
00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:03,320
Speaker 6: So you know, the kickoff rules changed a little bit,

746
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:06,800
Speaker 6: so I'm lobbying with with coach Ross right now to

747
00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:09,440
Speaker 6: go back deep so we'll see it's not going great

748
00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:13,080
Speaker 6: right now, but never give up. But yeah, you know,

749
00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:16,200
Speaker 6: to your point, I hope that you know, highlights versatility

750
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:17,480
Speaker 6: a little bit, which is kind of what I aim

751
00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:17,960
Speaker 6: to bring.

752
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:18,280
Speaker 1: To this team.

753
00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:20,040
Speaker 6: So but that's really cool, man, that's exciting.

754
00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:21,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, I figured that out all on my own. I

755
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:24,520
Speaker 1: thought it was pretty cool. Last one, you're one.

756
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:27,920
Speaker 3: Last year, I mean, people at Hope Miss Sauscle players

757
00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:29,040
Speaker 3: come in, you came in.

758
00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:31,160
Speaker 1: There were a lot of things that went around a team.

759
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:32,920
Speaker 3: There's some hope that the team would be better, but

760
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:35,800
Speaker 3: then you just blast their expectations, getting division around the playoffs.

761
00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:38,600
Speaker 1: Now you're two, there are a ton of expectations.

762
00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:40,040
Speaker 3: How do you think you guys in the team are

763
00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:43,120
Speaker 3: kind of handling all that going into year two, that

764
00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:44,800
Speaker 3: there are such high expectations.

765
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:47,240
Speaker 6: I think, to steal a quote from a young guy

766
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:49,240
Speaker 6: Will Understand answered that question earlier on a training camp

767
00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:51,280
Speaker 6: really well. He said that nobody's got higher expectations than

768
00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:53,120
Speaker 6: the guys in that building, and that that holds true

769
00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:55,040
Speaker 6: for offense, defense, special teams, everybody.

770
00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:55,440
Speaker 1: You know.

771
00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:57,280
Speaker 6: I think that that he kind of nailed it.

772
00:31:57,360 --> 00:31:57,680
Speaker 1: Right there.

773
00:31:57,720 --> 00:31:59,800
Speaker 6: You know, we kind of let people outside talk and

774
00:31:59,840 --> 00:32:01,320
Speaker 6: they can say whatever they need to, but we know

775
00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:03,920
Speaker 6: what our standard and what our expectation is in the building,

776
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:05,800
Speaker 6: and that's what we aim to drive every day and

777
00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:07,920
Speaker 6: kind of establish our identity through training camp so we

778
00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:09,320
Speaker 6: can build on that going through the season.

779
00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:11,600
Speaker 1: Andrew Beck appreciate it, man, Thank you. I appreciate it.

780
00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:12,320
Speaker 1: Thank you. Man.

781
00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:14,800
Speaker 2: There's Johnny in the full back and if this were

782
00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:17,880
Speaker 2: the nineteen eighties, we could develop a sitcom called that.

783
00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:21,280
Speaker 2: But anyway, Johnny, you and Andrew Beck visiting, and I

784
00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:23,880
Speaker 2: got to think that Andrew Beck, we know he's important

785
00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:26,680
Speaker 2: to this football team. I wonder how it affects Troy Harriston,

786
00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:29,080
Speaker 2: who's back healthy and he looks pretty good in camp,

787
00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:31,640
Speaker 2: and I'm wondering if he's practice squad if you can

788
00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:32,560
Speaker 2: afford to do that.

789
00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:34,880
Speaker 1: With Beck's injury history.

790
00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:36,360
Speaker 2: It's not like he's backed up all the time, but

791
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:38,640
Speaker 2: he's met some games and it would be nice to

792
00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:39,960
Speaker 2: have another option there.

793
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:42,240
Speaker 1: But we'll see if they can afford that luxury.

794
00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:45,320
Speaker 3: Well, you know what, Troy, you know, he's an excellent

795
00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:46,960
Speaker 3: lead blocker. I mean, that's really what he kind of

796
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:48,320
Speaker 3: hung his hat on as a rookie, and then we

797
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:49,840
Speaker 3: didn't see him at all last year to see how

798
00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:54,080
Speaker 3: he would progress in this offense. It's definitely different than

799
00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:55,680
Speaker 3: what he was used to in that first year.

800
00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:58,240
Speaker 1: It was kind of easy for Troy. Hey Troy, that

801
00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:01,160
Speaker 1: red jersey over there, you go hit him, and I'm like, okay,

802
00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:04,120
Speaker 1: I got it. This one at a little different.

803
00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:05,640
Speaker 3: Some of the things that they asked Andrew to do

804
00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:08,800
Speaker 3: last year, I think Troy could do. I think the

805
00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:13,120
Speaker 3: receiving game is probably the one that separates separates the two.

806
00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:15,560
Speaker 3: I mean, Troy's is learning how to be a receiver.

807
00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:19,960
Speaker 3: Andrew's pretty natural receiver. But I think if Troy doesn't

808
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:22,080
Speaker 3: make the fifty three, then you I think you'd like

809
00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:24,200
Speaker 3: to be able to keep him around on practice squad

810
00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:28,240
Speaker 3: for sure. And I think with fullbacks, not to say

811
00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:30,520
Speaker 3: that there wouldn't be there wouldn't be.

812
00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:33,520
Speaker 1: Other teams interested in Troy, but I just think, hey, no, we're.

813
00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:34,920
Speaker 3: Okay with what we got at full back, or some

814
00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:36,920
Speaker 3: times don't even have a fullback, right, So I do

815
00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:38,320
Speaker 3: think Troy would be a guy you'd be able to

816
00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:39,200
Speaker 3: bring on practice squad.

817
00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:42,000
Speaker 1: And if Andrew did go down like he did last year.

818
00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:43,680
Speaker 1: You know, last year you went with Bread in that role.

819
00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:47,280
Speaker 3: Now, depending on what you want to you know, what

820
00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:49,320
Speaker 3: that didnity of your team is at that point, maybe

821
00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:51,840
Speaker 3: you're running the ball really well that you want to

822
00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:54,520
Speaker 3: be in more twenty one personnel with Andrew in at

823
00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:56,520
Speaker 3: full back. If he's not there, then maybe Troy is

824
00:33:56,560 --> 00:33:59,040
Speaker 3: that guy you could put there. But Troy's really shown

825
00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:01,840
Speaker 3: that his PAS catching is improved, and I think that

826
00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:04,960
Speaker 3: as he starts to catch up with that, I think

827
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:05,520
Speaker 3: he gets.

828
00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:06,400
Speaker 1: Closer and closer to Andrew.

829
00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:09,360
Speaker 3: But Andrew's just such a He's such a great and

830
00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:12,760
Speaker 3: underrated weapon in this offense. I mean, during an interview

831
00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:15,239
Speaker 3: you heard me say he scored three different ways last

832
00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:20,000
Speaker 3: year kick return, pass, reception, touchdown carry, So the texts

833
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:22,160
Speaker 3: never do that. I mean, that's pretty cool. So from

834
00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:25,480
Speaker 3: that perspective, he's got that versatility you like. But there

835
00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:29,560
Speaker 3: are other guys that don't play fullback, like Brevin maybe

836
00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:33,040
Speaker 3: like Skeronic that can play that h back, you know,

837
00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:36,440
Speaker 3: full back sort of role. And I think about the

838
00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:38,960
Speaker 3: Tampa Bay game last year, did you really need an

839
00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:41,839
Speaker 3: h back in that game? Not really, especially the way

840
00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:44,760
Speaker 3: with me Evol you were slinging it, So go eleven

841
00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:47,560
Speaker 3: personnel and just throw it and do what you gotta do.

842
00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:51,000
Speaker 3: Now that isn't gonna happen maybe a few times a year,

843
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:52,640
Speaker 3: but maybe it's gonna happen a few more times with

844
00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:55,760
Speaker 3: the receivers that you have. So it's gonna be interesting

845
00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:57,719
Speaker 3: how they go about it. My guess would be that

846
00:34:57,800 --> 00:34:59,680
Speaker 3: Detroit doesn't make the team. You're not going to carry

847
00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:02,719
Speaker 3: two four. I wouldn't think Troy's definitely gonna be on

848
00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:04,560
Speaker 3: practice squad or they would want him back on practice

849
00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:06,440
Speaker 3: squad to continue.

850
00:35:06,520 --> 00:35:09,200
Speaker 1: To work with him. As a young player, thick, tough.

851
00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:12,200
Speaker 3: You know, you'll play on special teams as well, So

852
00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:15,480
Speaker 3: I think you don't want to lose that, so at

853
00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:18,040
Speaker 3: least on practice squad. But Andrew just gives you so

854
00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:21,960
Speaker 3: many different little things in the offense that help.

855
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:23,200
Speaker 1: And we saw that last year.

856
00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:25,960
Speaker 2: We were talking about receivers, running backs. What about the

857
00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:28,399
Speaker 2: tight ends here, because you do have injuries to think

858
00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:31,200
Speaker 2: about right now, and you do have well Brev's missed

859
00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:32,560
Speaker 2: some time, Nows.

860
00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:34,400
Speaker 1: Missed some time. Now, Tigan's missed some time. Yeah, you

861
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:35,200
Speaker 1: know about Tigan.

862
00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:38,680
Speaker 2: And they have Dalton Keene back who wasn't practicing when

863
00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:40,440
Speaker 2: they were in Houston, so it's great to see him

864
00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:41,680
Speaker 2: on the field, and you're gonna see him on the

865
00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:43,880
Speaker 2: field Friday night. I think Kean's gonna play. In fact,

866
00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:46,960
Speaker 2: I might try to slip him into my sneaky hot

867
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:50,120
Speaker 2: Player of the Game contest I have with Andre the

868
00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:54,440
Speaker 2: unofficial who might it be? Because Keane is gonna see

869
00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:56,680
Speaker 2: a chunk of time in the second half of this

870
00:35:56,760 --> 00:35:59,480
Speaker 2: game in particular, and you know Boyle Kean them they're

871
00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:01,239
Speaker 2: gonna be looking or if they're looking for a tight end,

872
00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:02,919
Speaker 2: they might have to look for Keen number forty.

873
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:04,719
Speaker 1: So we watched out for him. Yeah, he's made some

874
00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:07,000
Speaker 1: catches in the last couple of days. He's looked good.

875
00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:10,440
Speaker 3: But he he's more tight end than he is h back,

876
00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:11,920
Speaker 3: but he can play that role too, kind of the

877
00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:14,359
Speaker 3: full back role. To me, he's more tight end. He's

878
00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:16,719
Speaker 3: more pass catching tight end. But you're gonna see a

879
00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:18,839
Speaker 3: lot of eighty seven and I think that's a good

880
00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:21,200
Speaker 3: thing that's cased over the rookie that I think is

881
00:36:21,239 --> 00:36:23,839
Speaker 3: gonna be a big night for him. Hopefully quarterbacks will

882
00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:24,880
Speaker 3: give him some looks.

883
00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:26,960
Speaker 1: I know they did in the Hall of Fame game.

884
00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:29,479
Speaker 3: But obviously teakem took some of those before Teagan went out.

885
00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:32,359
Speaker 3: But now you'll have Keen back. You just don't have

886
00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:34,399
Speaker 3: a lot of you don't have a lot of tight

887
00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:36,160
Speaker 3: end weapons, and you don't really want Schultz to be

888
00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:39,520
Speaker 3: out there beyond the first series or two. So you're

889
00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:46,240
Speaker 3: gonna get keen Stover, Missen keen Stover, fling Schultz a little,

890
00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:48,800
Speaker 3: but it's gonna be keen Stover, and then it's probably

891
00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:50,600
Speaker 3: gonna be you know, Troy might line up there a

892
00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:51,759
Speaker 3: little bit. You know, he did that in the Hall

893
00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:53,680
Speaker 3: of Fame game. He was ready, he was ready to go.

894
00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:55,479
Speaker 3: So you're gonna see Troy a lot. You're not gonna

895
00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:57,200
Speaker 3: see Andrew. I wouldn't think as much, but.

896
00:36:58,080 --> 00:37:00,800
Speaker 1: I'll be be interesting to see how obviously looking the

897
00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:02,759
Speaker 1: offense kind of plan it out and played out.

898
00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:05,000
Speaker 3: Dimiko talked about that in his press conference about the

899
00:37:05,040 --> 00:37:09,239
Speaker 3: reps in particular in practice, that he really tries to

900
00:37:09,320 --> 00:37:11,319
Speaker 3: manage for every guy going through it.

901
00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:13,440
Speaker 1: But imagine that's going to be a talking point going

902
00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:14,000
Speaker 1: into Friday.

903
00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:16,600
Speaker 3: You know, how do they manage the reps for all

904
00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:19,239
Speaker 3: these guys making sure one guy doesn't get overwork, one

905
00:37:19,239 --> 00:37:21,480
Speaker 3: guy gets underwork. Let's try and balance it all out

906
00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:24,920
Speaker 3: so everybody is getting getting not only a fair shot

907
00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:27,960
Speaker 3: at the making the roster, but just not exposing them

908
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:29,360
Speaker 3: any more to injury than he need to be.

909
00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:32,839
Speaker 2: Another thing he said was along those lines. Yeah, they

910
00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:36,080
Speaker 2: started camp early. Don't want to peeking too early, don't

911
00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:38,160
Speaker 2: want their bodies too beat up. You got to manage

912
00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:40,600
Speaker 2: those things, like you said, because this is something we

913
00:37:40,680 --> 00:37:41,839
Speaker 2: thought about from the get go.

914
00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:45,400
Speaker 1: Seven weeks of whatever you were doing.

915
00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:47,680
Speaker 2: Until you play a real game against the Indianapolis Colts

916
00:37:47,719 --> 00:37:50,440
Speaker 2: on September eighth. So you want to have the guys

917
00:37:50,520 --> 00:37:53,680
Speaker 2: in tip top for that game and not wear them

918
00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:56,560
Speaker 2: out beforehand. But we've got a hard couple of weeks

919
00:37:56,640 --> 00:37:59,239
Speaker 2: left here. You're back in the Houston heat next week

920
00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:02,080
Speaker 2: to practice against the Giants. Now, this is something worth

921
00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:05,319
Speaker 2: watching for us anyway, and we'll let you know how

922
00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:08,480
Speaker 2: it's going because on this schedule. They released the entire

923
00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:10,640
Speaker 2: training camp practice schedule all the way through the final

924
00:38:10,680 --> 00:38:13,279
Speaker 2: preseason game well ahead of time. I think this came

925
00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:17,839
Speaker 2: out in June, and they listed next week's practices at

926
00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:22,320
Speaker 2: eleven am, eleven AM, and eleven am. Now I'm no expert,

927
00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:25,800
Speaker 2: but I've been around a long time in Houston, maybe

928
00:38:25,840 --> 00:38:27,240
Speaker 2: not as long as some of the listeners.

929
00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:30,040
Speaker 1: Eleven am tends to be rather warm.

930
00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:34,080
Speaker 2: And there's only a few practices that I can recall

931
00:38:34,160 --> 00:38:38,160
Speaker 2: in the history of the franchise that started at that

932
00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:44,240
Speaker 2: time or later outside in August. One of them David Cully,

933
00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:47,040
Speaker 2: he did that a few times now. They had a

934
00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:49,799
Speaker 2: great opening day game against Jacksonville. Kind of slid down

935
00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:54,520
Speaker 2: from there, but wow, but dom Capers did some outdoor

936
00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:58,920
Speaker 2: practicing that time, and O'Brien practiced not that late, but

937
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:02,120
Speaker 2: it went into the eleven clock hours sometimes. So I'm thinking,

938
00:39:02,680 --> 00:39:05,279
Speaker 2: all right, are you doing justice next week, coach, because

939
00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:07,440
Speaker 2: let me tell you something, what they're getting used to

940
00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:10,440
Speaker 2: here is very different from what everyone is experiencing there.

941
00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:11,040
Speaker 1: We're still in.

942
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:13,520
Speaker 2: Ohio, oh yeah, where it is so nice that we

943
00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:16,080
Speaker 2: are not taking it for granted. We're enjoying every bit

944
00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:18,479
Speaker 2: of it going down to Pittsburgh. And by the way,

945
00:39:18,719 --> 00:39:23,400
Speaker 2: that hurricane is supposed to scrape by, not the dirty side,

946
00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:24,719
Speaker 2: the clean side.

947
00:39:24,840 --> 00:39:27,359
Speaker 1: But that's a bad word to describe it.

948
00:39:29,120 --> 00:39:31,400
Speaker 2: I see moronic word to describe anything to do with

949
00:39:31,440 --> 00:39:32,120
Speaker 2: the hurricane.

950
00:39:32,560 --> 00:39:34,480
Speaker 1: Or on the clean side of the hurricane.

951
00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:38,120
Speaker 2: And I think we're gonna get a little weather Friday night, Johnny,

952
00:39:38,160 --> 00:39:38,680
Speaker 2: which I.

953
00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:40,919
Speaker 1: Know you're gonna love because you're in the boot this time.

954
00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:45,000
Speaker 3: No, So it sounds as if the just looking at

955
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:50,800
Speaker 3: the radar screen for Pittsburgh game starts at seven local time, okay,

956
00:39:50,960 --> 00:39:53,399
Speaker 3: and the rain is fifteen percent. If there's gonna be rain,

957
00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:55,560
Speaker 3: it sounds like it's gonna happen in the morning and

958
00:39:55,600 --> 00:39:57,040
Speaker 3: then tapered down.

959
00:39:56,880 --> 00:39:59,360
Speaker 1: Throughout the rest of the day. Okay, that's what it sounds.

960
00:39:59,400 --> 00:40:01,480
Speaker 1: That's what it looks like. That's what it looks like.

961
00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:03,920
Speaker 1: But we'll see. But to your point, you.

962
00:40:03,880 --> 00:40:06,280
Speaker 3: Know that will be back that it's Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday

963
00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:07,080
Speaker 3: of next week.

964
00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:09,920
Speaker 1: Where this practice started at eleven. That's something I got

965
00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:12,279
Speaker 1: a big a deal until you start looking at you

966
00:40:12,280 --> 00:40:12,960
Speaker 1: look at the numbers.

967
00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:16,359
Speaker 3: If you start to practice at nine o'clock, temperatures eighty

968
00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:19,359
Speaker 3: four degrees hot, eighty four degrees, I mean eighty four

969
00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:20,320
Speaker 3: degrees is still hot.

970
00:40:20,880 --> 00:40:23,400
Speaker 1: You start that thing at eleven, it all of a

971
00:40:23,440 --> 00:40:26,520
Speaker 1: sudden is ninety degrees. Yeah, oh yeah, it's completely different.

972
00:40:26,520 --> 00:40:27,359
Speaker 1: Situall you get.

973
00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:29,239
Speaker 3: To a high at well that's a little you get

974
00:40:29,239 --> 00:40:31,160
Speaker 3: to nearly high. Say you go to for two hours,

975
00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:33,600
Speaker 3: you go to one o'clock, it's ninety three degrees. So

976
00:40:34,520 --> 00:40:36,799
Speaker 3: that's a pretty big deal. We'll go into your what

977
00:40:37,239 --> 00:40:38,280
Speaker 3: third week of camp.

978
00:40:38,480 --> 00:40:40,120
Speaker 2: I think I know what he's trying to do though,

979
00:40:40,239 --> 00:40:42,120
Speaker 2: or what he was thinking when he set up the schedule,

980
00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:45,880
Speaker 2: which is, let's get their bodies acclimated to a noon start,

981
00:40:46,200 --> 00:40:47,880
Speaker 2: which is what they're going to be facing the bulk

982
00:40:47,920 --> 00:40:50,080
Speaker 2: of the year. And I think that's why they're playing

983
00:40:50,120 --> 00:40:52,919
Speaker 2: these preseason games in June on the seventeenth and twenty fourth.

984
00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:57,960
Speaker 3: Now, what could happen? Those are not fan practices? Oh

985
00:40:58,480 --> 00:41:00,560
Speaker 3: so could they be going inside?

986
00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:01,680
Speaker 1: I didn't even think of that.

987
00:41:01,560 --> 00:41:04,040
Speaker 2: That could right, they are not fan this is next

988
00:41:04,040 --> 00:41:05,720
Speaker 2: week fan practices against the Rams.

989
00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:08,040
Speaker 1: Yes, and they're going early. And guess what bodyclock time

990
00:41:08,040 --> 00:41:10,200
Speaker 1: for the Rams? By the way, that's early. That is

991
00:41:10,239 --> 00:41:12,880
Speaker 1: early for trust me, I know about that early bodyclock.

992
00:41:13,320 --> 00:41:16,680
Speaker 3: When my wife and daughter come from LA I cannot

993
00:41:16,719 --> 00:41:19,960
Speaker 3: wake them up any earlier than nine o'clock. Yeah, because

994
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:22,680
Speaker 3: seven o'clock, seven o'clock, they're like, forget it. I mean,

995
00:41:22,760 --> 00:41:25,200
Speaker 3: I'm also just wait till noon to try and get

996
00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:28,360
Speaker 3: just two hours. It's just it doesn't sound like much.

997
00:41:28,719 --> 00:41:30,680
Speaker 1: But it really does. Kind of like whoa.

998
00:41:30,960 --> 00:41:32,239
Speaker 3: And then if you got to go east coast to

999
00:41:32,239 --> 00:41:35,200
Speaker 3: west coast where it's three hours, I mean, it's that's crazy.

1000
00:41:35,200 --> 00:41:36,680
Speaker 1: He's completely crazy, all right.

1001
00:41:36,680 --> 00:41:40,880
Speaker 2: Coming up on the show, Chris Boyd cornerback Longhorn.

1002
00:41:40,960 --> 00:41:41,799
Speaker 1: What does he have to say?

1003
00:41:41,800 --> 00:41:44,719
Speaker 2: He was also a great athlete and what sport in

1004
00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:47,080
Speaker 2: high school. We'll get into that. They might be doing

1005
00:41:47,120 --> 00:41:49,040
Speaker 2: some of that at the Olympics. We'll get into that

1006
00:41:49,080 --> 00:41:52,040
Speaker 2: and some other stuff coming up here on Texans All Access.

1007
00:41:54,120 --> 00:41:54,840
Speaker 1: Final segment.

1008
00:41:54,880 --> 00:41:57,319
Speaker 2: Okay, Longhorn fans, I would say this once for you,

1009
00:41:57,400 --> 00:41:59,839
Speaker 2: but it's really for everybody. He's a Texan from gil

1010
00:42:00,320 --> 00:42:03,960
Speaker 2: Chris Boyd University of Texas alum. I caught up with

1011
00:42:04,040 --> 00:42:05,120
Speaker 2: him after practice.

1012
00:42:05,320 --> 00:42:07,440
Speaker 1: So far, how would you assess camp? This year? For

1013
00:42:07,480 --> 00:42:10,760
Speaker 1: the Houston Texans? Camp has been amazing. I can't complain.

1014
00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:15,040
Speaker 5: I posted last night that this was by far one

1015
00:42:15,080 --> 00:42:17,319
Speaker 5: of the hardest counts, but I can't say one of

1016
00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:20,600
Speaker 5: the funnest counts. I've been joining everything, you know, taking

1017
00:42:20,600 --> 00:42:24,240
Speaker 5: this slow, but my team made the coaches, the scheme

1018
00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:26,560
Speaker 5: and everything right now, I'm willing to do whatever they

1019
00:42:26,600 --> 00:42:29,720
Speaker 5: ask of me, So I mean, I can't really complain.

1020
00:42:29,880 --> 00:42:31,160
Speaker 1: Just being here is a blessing for me.

1021
00:42:31,480 --> 00:42:33,920
Speaker 2: Well, I'm calling it the best camp ever in Texas

1022
00:42:33,960 --> 00:42:36,319
Speaker 2: weather wise, right considering what we had back home with

1023
00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:37,799
Speaker 2: the cooler weather and what we have here.

1024
00:42:37,920 --> 00:42:39,080
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness.

1025
00:42:39,400 --> 00:42:41,319
Speaker 5: When we came out the practice day, we was joking around.

1026
00:42:41,320 --> 00:42:43,480
Speaker 5: I'm like, yeah, we'll never feel this right now in Texas.

1027
00:42:43,800 --> 00:42:45,680
Speaker 5: And now I'm like, Okay, a week up here, not

1028
00:42:45,719 --> 00:42:46,120
Speaker 5: too bad.

1029
00:42:46,600 --> 00:42:48,279
Speaker 2: What about some of the other differences because you were

1030
00:42:48,360 --> 00:42:50,439
Speaker 2: drafted by the Vikings. What is it like being part

1031
00:42:50,440 --> 00:42:52,439
Speaker 2: of this Houston Texans organization right now?

1032
00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:56,960
Speaker 5: For one, it's special to me because it's home, me

1033
00:42:57,080 --> 00:42:59,799
Speaker 5: being a Texas guy coming back and I feel like

1034
00:43:00,200 --> 00:43:03,680
Speaker 5: now it's me playing with a bigger chip on my shoulder,

1035
00:43:03,719 --> 00:43:07,040
Speaker 5: I should say, because me being here then also playing

1036
00:43:07,080 --> 00:43:10,080
Speaker 5: for the University of Texas. Now the Houston Texans are

1037
00:43:10,120 --> 00:43:12,120
Speaker 5: many kind of all like correlates and.

1038
00:43:12,080 --> 00:43:14,839
Speaker 1: Following into the same category. Just being there and playing for.

1039
00:43:14,760 --> 00:43:19,440
Speaker 5: The home team. You know, thank you to the Minnesota Vikings.

1040
00:43:19,480 --> 00:43:22,080
Speaker 5: You know, it's a blessing. Uh, the opportunity they gave me.

1041
00:43:22,120 --> 00:43:22,399
Speaker 3: I can't.

1042
00:43:22,440 --> 00:43:26,120
Speaker 1: I can't deny it, you know. Uh, I was grateful

1043
00:43:26,160 --> 00:43:26,680
Speaker 1: for everything.

1044
00:43:26,800 --> 00:43:29,120
Speaker 5: We also played in week three, you know, so it'll

1045
00:43:29,160 --> 00:43:31,640
Speaker 5: be good to go back there and see the old family.

1046
00:43:31,800 --> 00:43:34,920
Speaker 5: But here especially to me, man, and I'm grateful for it.

1047
00:43:35,239 --> 00:43:36,000
Speaker 1: The teammates.

1048
00:43:37,320 --> 00:43:38,799
Speaker 5: I mean when I came in and they embraced me,

1049
00:43:38,920 --> 00:43:42,120
Speaker 5: you know quick, you know. And it's kind of hard

1050
00:43:42,239 --> 00:43:44,560
Speaker 5: like being in the league, you know, grown in business,

1051
00:43:44,560 --> 00:43:47,080
Speaker 5: and it's also being a business that it is to

1052
00:43:47,239 --> 00:43:49,560
Speaker 5: like follow on the underday category. You're being with a

1053
00:43:49,640 --> 00:43:53,920
Speaker 5: team that's kind of like playing with togetherness and you

1054
00:43:53,920 --> 00:43:55,520
Speaker 5: can kind of see that here with us, you know,

1055
00:43:55,680 --> 00:43:58,239
Speaker 5: out there in the games that practice like you have

1056
00:43:58,360 --> 00:44:01,640
Speaker 5: guys uh DB's inn o line o line with everybody

1057
00:44:01,640 --> 00:44:04,880
Speaker 5: else mingling around. I'm appreciative of it, you know. I

1058
00:44:04,880 --> 00:44:06,400
Speaker 5: feel like I landed in a great spot.

1059
00:44:06,800 --> 00:44:07,759
Speaker 1: Chris Boyd joining us.

1060
00:44:07,760 --> 00:44:09,640
Speaker 2: All right, so you're from Gilmer and you were a

1061
00:44:09,640 --> 00:44:11,680
Speaker 2: great track and field athlete in high school.

1062
00:44:11,719 --> 00:44:12,800
Speaker 1: Are you watching some Olympics?

1063
00:44:12,840 --> 00:44:16,879
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, sir, you do some research, Yes, sir, I did.

1064
00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:19,480
Speaker 5: We was actually talking about that in the meeting room.

1065
00:44:19,520 --> 00:44:21,560
Speaker 5: They didn't believe that I had one state in track,

1066
00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:23,759
Speaker 5: so I was like I just hit him with the

1067
00:44:23,800 --> 00:44:26,920
Speaker 5: most common thing. Google it so they put it up

1068
00:44:26,920 --> 00:44:29,280
Speaker 5: and seeing everything. But yeah, I definitely was watching track.

1069
00:44:29,600 --> 00:44:33,400
Speaker 5: The one hundred meter dash was crazy, the way he

1070
00:44:33,480 --> 00:44:36,560
Speaker 5: won that race. It was like I don't even remember

1071
00:44:36,560 --> 00:44:38,480
Speaker 5: how many seconds it was, but I could definitely tell

1072
00:44:38,560 --> 00:44:40,920
Speaker 5: it was close by him, just leaning from his torso

1073
00:44:41,400 --> 00:44:43,719
Speaker 5: and that made such a difference. And you know, of course,

1074
00:44:43,840 --> 00:44:46,439
Speaker 5: us being football guys and in the NFL, we took

1075
00:44:46,480 --> 00:44:49,279
Speaker 5: that as another learning moment. Coach brought it up in

1076
00:44:49,320 --> 00:44:51,400
Speaker 5: the team meeting and just showed us that you never know,

1077
00:44:51,480 --> 00:44:54,359
Speaker 5: like every rep count, every inch, no matter what you're doing,

1078
00:44:54,440 --> 00:44:57,160
Speaker 5: So you could just still also watch sports and enjoy,

1079
00:44:57,280 --> 00:45:00,480
Speaker 5: but also learn and take away from whatever that you can.

1080
00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:03,719
Speaker 2: What's the difference between the camaraderie and a football team

1081
00:45:03,800 --> 00:45:06,160
Speaker 2: and a track and field team because everybody does different

1082
00:45:06,200 --> 00:45:07,120
Speaker 2: events and it's.

1083
00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:09,040
Speaker 1: All spread out, and how does that compare.

1084
00:45:10,520 --> 00:45:12,680
Speaker 5: I mean, like it's a team still in track, but

1085
00:45:12,719 --> 00:45:16,200
Speaker 5: it's kind of like an individual thing with football, you know,

1086
00:45:16,280 --> 00:45:19,400
Speaker 5: y'all have one common goal, you know, so it's like

1087
00:45:19,480 --> 00:45:21,680
Speaker 5: everybody does what they do out there on the field,

1088
00:45:21,760 --> 00:45:23,840
Speaker 5: is in positions and everything. But once you come together

1089
00:45:24,040 --> 00:45:25,839
Speaker 5: we all have one thing on our mind, and we're

1090
00:45:25,840 --> 00:45:26,680
Speaker 5: all working together.

00:45:26,960 --> 00:45:30,560
Speaker 5: It's a communication level and understanding your peers and teammates

1093
00:45:30,600 --> 00:45:32,200
Speaker 5: and everybody who's around.

1094
00:45:32,360 --> 00:45:33,400
Speaker 1: All right, one more for you.

1101
00:45:48,640 --> 00:45:51,680

Speaker 5: seemed like he has a great father and he got

1103
00:45:53,719 --> 00:45:55,839

Speaker 5: your belt. He will enjoy itself. For shit, you know

1105
00:45:58,680 --> 00:46:01,520
