1
00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:04,000
Speaker 1: Here's the snap, four man rush firing daft field and

2
00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:10,120
Speaker 1: got a man rock and roll touchdown. Texans game day

3
00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:14,600
Speaker 1: is every day. Yeah, nice ball, nice ball, five nights

4
00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:20,000
Speaker 1: a week. The hits keep on coming, wows bringing down

5
00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:26,680
Speaker 1: the quarterback. No, it's Texans all excess. Oh yes it is.

6
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:31,200
Speaker 1: Hello Texans. Hello sports fans everywhere you may be listening today.

00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:33,920
Speaker 1: Great to have you with us, Mark Vando, Mayor John Harris,

8
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:36,479
Speaker 1: John mcclaim with us. The General joins us on a

9
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 1: Thursday night, which is not unusual. In fact, like I

10
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:42,040
Speaker 1: make a big deal about every Thursday, it is a

11
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 1: certainty that the General will be with us. And it's

12
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:49,040
Speaker 1: not exactly game day eve, but it kind of feels

13
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:50,960
Speaker 1: like it kind of feels like tomorrow is going to

14
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 1: be one of those days where you just anticipating the

15
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 1: seven pm Saturday night kickoff between the Texans and the

16
00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:00,400
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Buccaneers. So, gentlemen, here we go out of

17
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 1: the show. Yeah, Ron was right, I got a vander

18
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 1: rant out of town sports media. We'll get into that

19
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:07,399
Speaker 1: more detail later. We're gonna play Who's better tonight, but

20
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 1: let's kick off here with job acclaimed for the Houston

21
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 1: chronicle general training camp is over. So how, if at all,

22
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 1: how have your thoughts, feelings, emotions, projections changed about this

23
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 1: team based on what you saw over the last few

24
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:26,479
Speaker 1: weeks compared to where you were before the whole thing

25
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:30,480
Speaker 1: got started. Well, first of all, I think one reason

26
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 1: that we're excited you mentioned into training camp. Yes, but

27
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 1: I have to admit I love watching practice, especially with

28
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 1: so many new players out there and watching the different

29
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 1: positions and so many new coaches. I like watching the

30
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 1: coaches too. I like watching coach Cassio during practice, the

31
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 1: way he runs around and in strugs. First time I've

32
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 1: ever seen a general manager who was an assistant coach.

33
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 1: But he did that with New England, he's doing it

34
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 1: with the Texans. And then the fact they're playing their

35
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 1: first game at home, the fact that it's the Buccaneers

36
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 1: that finning Super Bowl champion and they're going to play

37
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 1: their starters, including Tom Brady a half or into the

38
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 1: third quarter. And and also even though they haven't played

39
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:18,920
Speaker 1: against Aaron Rodgers and Dak Prescott, the Cowboys started. Let's

40
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:22,919
Speaker 1: see nine starters on offense, eight on defense, and I

41
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 1: hear people go, well, the Texans defense wasn't going up

42
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 1: against Prescott, And I said, well, he wasn't going up

43
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:34,639
Speaker 1: against their starters. Every turnover in sack accept Charles, many

44
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 1: of whose sackson fumble recovery was was provided by a

45
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 1: backup player, So I said, there Texans playing backups against Cowboys.

46
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 1: So I think the fact that they're two and oh

47
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 1: and it's the Fluckaneers and the defense is seven sacks

48
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 1: and seven turnovers, those are reasons to be fired up.

49
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 1: And I have a deadline Sunday of my Football's Section

50
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 1: story and one of them is going over the schedule

51
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 1: and predicting wins and losses. And when I did that

52
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 1: after the draft, I had him starting two and one,

53
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 1: finishing three and fourteen with the only other victory over

54
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 1: the Jets. Here and now. It's hard not to be

55
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:20,520
Speaker 1: optimistic about the season when you're coming out of training camp.

56
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 1: I mean, every team is unless they've had an in

57
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 1: order number of injuries. And you guys better knock on wood,

58
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,920
Speaker 1: because the Texans have not had anybody block their knee,

59
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:32,360
Speaker 1: they haven't had a concussion, then I know of they

60
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 1: having a bad one. They've been very, very fortunate to

61
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 1: avoid serious injuries. And you hope that doesn't happen against

62
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 1: the Bucks, and you hope that they don't have the

63
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 1: injury bug back them when regular season begins. But if Tyrod,

64
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 1: you know now he told us it's Tyrod. Even though

65
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 1: his mother calls him to ride, he says he changes

66
00:03:53,760 --> 00:04:00,080
Speaker 1: it every year as he did man Tyrod. If Tyrodd

67
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 1: he's healthy, I think they could win four or five

68
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 1: or six games. If he gets hurt, you know, they

69
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 1: can finish with the worst record in the league. And

70
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 1: I hope for his sake basic, especially considering his last

71
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 1: two starting jobs in Cleveland and with the Chargers that

72
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:19,919
Speaker 1: ended with injuries early in the season. He's such a

73
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 1: good guys, so well respected by everybody, coaches, players, media.

74
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:30,039
Speaker 1: You wish a guy like that a lot of success. General.

75
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 1: What's been your most pleasantest I know it's not work.

76
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 1: What's been your most pleasant surprise? Something you thought going

77
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:40,159
Speaker 1: into training camp, what's gonna be an issue, or you

78
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 1: weren't totally sure about it. You walk out going you

79
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 1: know what, that's a lot better than I thought. What's

80
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 1: probably the most pleasant surprise you had throughout training Again, Well,

81
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 1: it can't be anything on offense because the offense was

82
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 1: terrible in this last game and one good drive in

83
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 1: the first game. So it's got to be the defense, sacks,

84
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 1: and not just the sacks and takeaways, but stopping the run.

85
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:05,719
Speaker 1: Worst team in the league against the run last year,

86
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:09,480
Speaker 1: and so they've given up what forty nine and ninety

87
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 1: five yards. That's a really good start. That defense could

88
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:17,599
Speaker 1: do something like that against Tampa Bay, hold them under

89
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 1: a hundred yards and then get after Trevor Lawrence, which

90
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 1: I think they will do. And everybody's got them losing

91
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 1: to the Jaguars there a three point underdog, and I

92
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:31,360
Speaker 1: thought since the schedule came out they would beat them,

93
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:34,599
Speaker 1: and still do. But it's the defense that I'm the

94
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:39,039
Speaker 1: most excited about. Wait, that line has not moved on

95
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:41,159
Speaker 1: the opening day game. Now that I follow these things,

96
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:44,160
Speaker 1: as you can tell, Oh my god, did they watch

97
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:47,840
Speaker 1: Have they watched the Jaguars play yet? Did they watch

98
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:51,119
Speaker 1: them play the Saints the other night? My gosh, Okay,

99
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 1: I'll stop anyway, general defensive line. If Johnny and I

100
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:58,039
Speaker 1: were going over it the other day, there are some

101
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:00,719
Speaker 1: tough cuts here. There's some tough cuts in the areas too,

102
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 1: but I think this is the toughest one on the team,

103
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:07,160
Speaker 1: and it's real hard to identify. Look, I could identify

104
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:10,040
Speaker 1: three or four guys who are virtual locks, but it

105
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 1: gets really difficult because do they keep biked, do they

106
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 1: keep nine? Do they possibly keep more than that? What

107
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 1: are your thoughts on the d line of how it's

108
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 1: gonna shake out. Well, they're gonna keep fewer linebackers, not

109
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 1: just because they're playing a four to three, but because

110
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 1: most of the time they're playing two linebackers Christian Kirksey

111
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 1: and Zach Cunningham. Because they're playing three dbs in most

112
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 1: every situation. So they're going to keep more linemen. And

113
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 1: I just I agree that is the toughest cut. I'm

114
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 1: trying to figure this out like it won't be a

115
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 1: surprise to me. But I would never have thought going

116
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:47,920
Speaker 1: into camp that Shack Lawson would be in danger or

117
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 1: not making the team. Now he's playing in the fourth quarter,

118
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 1: and I haven't heard anybody talking about him, just like

119
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 1: we speculated about John Reid. Great guy, hard worker, but

120
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 1: you just didn't see him making plays like you did

121
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 1: Thomas and Smith and some of those other dbs. And

122
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:08,720
Speaker 1: I haven't heard anybody talking about Shack laws and so

123
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:14,239
Speaker 1: they're gonna be some tough cuts. And right now, Charles

124
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 1: a man who plays end in it and four men

125
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 1: front slides in and passing situations. Malick next to Malik Collins.

126
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 1: I think those two together are gonna create some havoc.

127
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 1: And I'm not sure who the other side's gonna be.

128
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 1: I think Ross Blacklock is doing well in his second

129
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 1: training camp and right tackle waiting to see who's gonna

130
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 1: play a lot, and he's gonna start it right in.

131
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 1: But they're gonna play a lot of players there. They're

132
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 1: gotta have eight guys they can rotate. And remember when

133
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 1: they cut them. Now, the guys they want are going

134
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 1: to go over the practice squad and so a lot

135
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 1: of young guys they cut the go and they can

136
00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 1: add some veterans, so it's not like they're gonna leave.

137
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 1: And one thing I'm interested in when the cuts come down,

138
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 1: how many Patriots that Necessario will go after, because every

139
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 1: Patriot who was there before two and twenty one, he

140
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 1: had a hand in bringing them in his draft choices

141
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 1: or free agents. And as you guys know, you want

142
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:21,200
Speaker 1: your guys who've been through the offseason program and have

143
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 1: been through training camp. It's just easier for them to

144
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:28,880
Speaker 1: transition to the practice squad, and especially if they are

145
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 1: the kind of high character of guys who are helped

146
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 1: creating the culture and lay the foundation for the kind

147
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:39,080
Speaker 1: of players they want and the kind of team they

148
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 1: want to build to. Eventually, their goal is to win

149
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl. Speaking of former Patriots, John former Patriot

150
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 1: is in, I would think a battle for one of

151
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:56,880
Speaker 1: the running back positions, Rex Burkhead, mark Ingram got Philiplins,

152
00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 1: and you've got Birkehead, and you've got David Johnson. Scotty

153
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:01,960
Speaker 1: Phillips has been very good this camp. You got those

154
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:06,319
Speaker 1: five five on the fifty three man roster, they might

155
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:09,120
Speaker 1: try and keep five or four on the fifty three

156
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 1: plus practice squad. Button defense line's a tough cut. Running

157
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:15,200
Speaker 1: back also is one. How do you think running back

158
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 1: shakes out? How many do they keep in? Which ones

159
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:21,560
Speaker 1: do they keep? Well? Tight ends? Another one, because do

160
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:24,719
Speaker 1: they keep a true fullback like Paul Quistonbury who can

161
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 1: play tight end, or do they cut him or put

162
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:29,680
Speaker 1: him on practice squad and let one of the tight

163
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 1: ends play fullback. If you look at what Caserio and

164
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 1: the Patriots did under Bill Belichick. They liked the real

165
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:41,200
Speaker 1: fullback and when if you look at the Ravens and

166
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:44,199
Speaker 1: that's where David Culley came from the last two years,

167
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 1: they like a real fullback. I don't know that they've

168
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:52,959
Speaker 1: got a fullback like Devlin or a card, but they

169
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 1: got it. Hey, when you're gonna run the ball more

170
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 1: than you did last year, you gotta have a fullback.

171
00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 1: If they think one of those tight ends like Ryan

172
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 1: Izzo or Anthony all Claire or Phara o' brown can

173
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:06,840
Speaker 1: line up at full back and be a lead blocker

174
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:11,200
Speaker 1: when they need it, that's great. But I think the

175
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 1: key here is Buddy how has made this team. Buddy

176
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:18,880
Speaker 1: Howe is the senior member of the Texas running backs

177
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:21,560
Speaker 1: because he's been here since eighteen. He's here because he's

178
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 1: a really good special teams player. Do they keep him

179
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:29,840
Speaker 1: for special teams and keep three of the others. It

180
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 1: wouldn't surprise me if they don't try to trade David

181
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 1: Johnson see if they can get a pick, because I

182
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 1: think it'd have a better chance of getting to pick

183
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:39,320
Speaker 1: for him than Rex Burkhead. I don't see him keeping

184
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:41,680
Speaker 1: all four of those because a couple of them got

185
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:44,839
Speaker 1: to play special teams, you know, those backup running backs.

186
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:46,679
Speaker 1: After the first two, they got to get out there

187
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 1: and conk some people, and so that's gonna weigh heavily

188
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 1: on that. And then it tight end. You know, they

189
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 1: got a tough cut. They cut Kylie Wearing claimed by Minnesota.

190
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:02,080
Speaker 1: But right now they've got tight ends. They're gonna keep

191
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 1: three and Paul Quistenberry are four and not Christenberry. If

192
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 1: Christenberry gets cut, I'd love to seeing the Titans, if

193
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 1: they reunited with his brother David, who's starting for the Titans.

194
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 1: And that's gonna be a tough decision at tight end.

195
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:24,199
Speaker 1: And I can't wait to see what happens. All right, Well, John,

196
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 1: we can't wait for the season opener, and we'll wait

197
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:31,600
Speaker 1: right through next week because for the first time now

198
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:35,840
Speaker 1: we have an entire buy for the entire league. Next week,

199
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 1: no fourth preseason game. How do you feel about the

200
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 1: schedule now the way it's shaping up here? You have

201
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 1: this third and final preseason game weekend upon us and

202
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:47,720
Speaker 1: then you'll have nothing on Labor Day as far as

203
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 1: the NFL goes, How do you feel about it now

204
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 1: that we're getting there? Mark and John? I thought and

205
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:56,559
Speaker 1: I think we talked about this. This is the first

206
00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:59,599
Speaker 1: time I've ever wished the Texans had a fourth preseason

207
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:03,040
Speaker 1: game because they have so many new players. Like watching

208
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:06,040
Speaker 1: how it all plays out with all these new guys

209
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 1: that he's brought in. I think I just figured out

210
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 1: there's twenty eight new players on defense. And because I

211
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 1: also figured out for a column I wrote tomorrow, Tom

212
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 1: Brady will not recognize this defense, not only because four

213
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:22,679
Speaker 1: to three instead of a three to four, but there's

214
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:25,480
Speaker 1: only nine players on that side of the ball who

215
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 1: were on the roster or the practice squad two years ago.

216
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:34,440
Speaker 1: That's how much of a transformation they've undergone under Nicks,

217
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:38,440
Speaker 1: Sarrio and even last year. But I think it's great.

218
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 1: There'll be a lot of roster movement next week, not

219
00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 1: just with the cuts to fifty three by three o'clock

220
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:46,960
Speaker 1: on Tuesday, but the practice squad the next day, and

221
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 1: then more players are going to be going across the league.

222
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:53,480
Speaker 1: And I'll tell you what, if you were dumb enough

223
00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:56,920
Speaker 1: or stubborn enough not to get vaccinated, you are going

224
00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:59,679
Speaker 1: to get cut. They're not gonna say it, and you're

225
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 1: gonna have trouble getting picked up and you gotta wait

226
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 1: five days before you can try out with a team,

227
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 1: where a vaccinated player can just walk right in there

228
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:12,199
Speaker 1: and try out immediately, you're at a severe disadvantage. And

229
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:15,400
Speaker 1: if you didn't get vaccinated and you're on your team,

230
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:20,079
Speaker 1: like Tennessee's got nine players on COVID nineteen right now,

231
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:22,040
Speaker 1: I think the most of Texans have had is two

232
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 1: or three. But if in a regular season and they

233
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:29,239
Speaker 1: were playing Sunday, they would be in big trouble. Sean McDermott,

234
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:33,120
Speaker 1: the Bill's coach, was so critical of his players today.

235
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 1: He said, I don't know what else we can do

236
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 1: to get these guys to get vaccinated. But I hope

237
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 1: the fans and the media when the time comes if

238
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:47,080
Speaker 1: unvaccinated players hurt your team and contribute to a loss,

239
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 1: I hope they get the substantial the criticism they deserve.

240
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't even want to think about that,

241
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 1: because that is going to be a bleep storm like

242
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:03,360
Speaker 1: like none other. I even I can't even imagine what

243
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 1: it's going to be like if a team has to

244
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:10,040
Speaker 1: forfeit a game because of that, that situation, I mean,

245
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:14,560
Speaker 1: I just I don't even go and you lose money,

246
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:17,880
Speaker 1: you lose game checks if you'd cause it. Can you

247
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:21,400
Speaker 1: imagine if you're vaccinated players and you got a few

248
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:24,360
Speaker 1: n income poops on your team that cost you a

249
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:27,960
Speaker 1: game and you lose your money. Wouldn't that cause problems

250
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:31,600
Speaker 1: in the in the locker room, in the position rooms.

251
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:34,920
Speaker 1: I would certainly think it would. Yeah, I mean that

252
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 1: would be the first thing I would I would think

253
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 1: if I was talking to those guys along those launches, John,

254
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 1: two guys that the code. I don't think there's not

255
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:44,240
Speaker 1: a COVID situation with them, but there is an injury

256
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:47,160
Speaker 1: situation with them, and they are on pup right now.

257
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:50,720
Speaker 1: And that's Lane Taylor and Marcus Cannon. Now we've seen

258
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:54,440
Speaker 1: the offensive line the last few weeks, and Laramie's hopefully

259
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 1: gonna get off COVID nineteen here fairly soon jump for

260
00:14:59,880 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 1: a back in at left tackle when he is ready

261
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:03,240
Speaker 1: to go. I don't think there's any question about that.

262
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 1: It looks like Titus Howard had left guard justin britt center.

263
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:10,040
Speaker 1: How do you think it shakes out left guard, I'm sorry,

264
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 1: right guard and right tackle. Do you think it's Marcus

265
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 1: Cannon at right tackle? And then Max Sharping or Lane

266
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:17,280
Speaker 1: Taylor do you think I guess it's hard to say.

267
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:19,360
Speaker 1: You haven't seen but three games from Lanked Tyler the

268
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 1: last two years, but we know that James Camping coached

269
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:24,120
Speaker 1: him in Green Bay. So how do you think that

270
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:26,960
Speaker 1: right side of the line shakes out if and when

271
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:30,440
Speaker 1: Lane Taylor and Marcus Cannon both get healthy. If Charlie

272
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 1: Haig's not playing right tackle, is going to be Titus Howard.

273
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:36,080
Speaker 1: The reason Titus moved to left guard is they love

274
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 1: heck and he made substantial improvement and worked his tail

275
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:45,040
Speaker 1: off and offseason. The reason they moved Mark Titus was

276
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 1: to get the five best players on the field. Cannon,

277
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 1: who's thirty three, and Taylor's thirty one. Those guys will

278
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 1: gone pup and we'll hear from him what six weeks

279
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:57,880
Speaker 1: and or whenever they get well. And I watched Larmy

280
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:02,920
Speaker 1: Tuns working out today on the other field, pulling a thing,

281
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:05,960
Speaker 1: not a sled, but something like it because he hadn't

282
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:10,560
Speaker 1: been able to get well enough after suffering from COVID nineteen.

283
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 1: I'm thinking, as he wish he gotten vaccinated about right

284
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:17,760
Speaker 1: now out there pulling that thing. And Tonsil's their best player,

285
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:21,160
Speaker 1: he's their highest rated player, and I think about him

286
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:24,240
Speaker 1: like I did Cloudy. He can be out and then

287
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:27,880
Speaker 1: when the game starts he steps right in seamlessly and

288
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:31,680
Speaker 1: plays really really well. So Tonsil's least of their problems.

289
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:34,320
Speaker 1: And if he's out there pulling that many slid or

290
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 1: whatever that waited thing, he'll be ready in two weeks.

291
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:41,680
Speaker 1: And as far as Kennon and Taylor, I don't think

292
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:43,520
Speaker 1: we're going to see him for a while, even if

293
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:47,800
Speaker 1: they were activated. They missed so much time and miss

294
00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:50,840
Speaker 1: the preseason, and once they're ready's going to take them

295
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:54,040
Speaker 1: time to get ready. And I'm guessing they'll ask some

296
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:57,680
Speaker 1: injuries up front, they'll need them, But right now they're

297
00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:02,520
Speaker 1: starting five is set. Yeah, it really looked to me

298
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:05,760
Speaker 1: like Cannon was looking good out there on the side field,

299
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:09,120
Speaker 1: and I thought doctor Vandermer thought he was not too

300
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:12,600
Speaker 1: far away. But I really don't get paid for my

301
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:16,600
Speaker 1: expertise in that area, so I should leave that alone. General,

302
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:20,560
Speaker 1: the Titans have all sorts of COVID issues, and what

303
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:22,639
Speaker 1: about how it's going on on the field. You've said before,

304
00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 1: it's kind of quiet. Other than that in Tennessee, it's

305
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 1: kind of quiet right now with the way things are going.

306
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:30,840
Speaker 1: But Tannehill, the head coach, my goodness, he had a

307
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:33,720
Speaker 1: cults with Quinton Nelson. I hate to bring up COVID again,

308
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:36,280
Speaker 1: but this, you know, we always talk about injuries in

309
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:41,400
Speaker 1: this league. This isn't an injury, but it's equally devastating

310
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:44,960
Speaker 1: to your team's chances to win well. First of all,

311
00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:49,879
Speaker 1: on COVID nineteen, if you're vaccinated and you test positive,

312
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 1: all you need is two positive two negative tests and

313
00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:56,280
Speaker 1: you're back. You're not out for five days if you're vaccinated.

314
00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:59,159
Speaker 1: People are talking about, oh, Ryan Tannehill is going to

315
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:02,560
Speaker 1: be out, he's vaccinated. He'll be back in a day,

316
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 1: in two days. And then Cam Newton obviously wasn't vaccinated.

317
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:11,120
Speaker 1: And you know that thing about there, what did they

318
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:13,720
Speaker 1: call it up there? I'm not a mistake. You know,

319
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:19,600
Speaker 1: the Patriots gonna make mistakes on stuff. Obviously, new discommunication, miscommunication,

320
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:24,040
Speaker 1: and there's no miscommunication with the Patriots. Newton screwed up,

321
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:27,639
Speaker 1: and it'd be funny or appropriate if because he's screwed

322
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:30,639
Speaker 1: up on COVID nineteen, Mac Jones got his foot in

323
00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:34,280
Speaker 1: the door and it never came out. And yes, this

324
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:37,359
Speaker 1: is gonna be COVID nineteen is going to be a

325
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:41,920
Speaker 1: disadvantage for some an advantage for others. If the Titans

326
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 1: had to play Sunday, they'd be in big trouble. And

327
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:48,000
Speaker 1: they're playing a first place schedule this year. The Texans

328
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:51,440
Speaker 1: get a break from that brutal schedule they played last year.

329
00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:56,040
Speaker 1: But I know, I'm like you guys, pumped for the season.

330
00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:59,440
Speaker 1: It's like being a rookie all over again. And even

331
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:02,800
Speaker 1: though people don't have high expectations for the Texans because

332
00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:06,440
Speaker 1: they have so many new players and a new system

333
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:10,920
Speaker 1: on defense, let's look good in preseason. I'm excited to

334
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:13,680
Speaker 1: see how all this plays out. And as I've said

335
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:15,680
Speaker 1: before and I'll say it again, I think they're gonna

336
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:18,640
Speaker 1: start two and one. I may be wrong. I saw

337
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:22,440
Speaker 1: Sports Illustrated they had him one in sixteen beating the Jets.

338
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:24,760
Speaker 1: It's amazing to me the way that people are still

339
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:28,439
Speaker 1: picking them to lose to the Jaguars, despite a rookie

340
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:32,320
Speaker 1: quarterback playing his first game against Lovey Smith, who you

341
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:35,200
Speaker 1: know will have a lot of things planned for him,

342
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:38,400
Speaker 1: and then Urban Meyer, one of the greatest college coaches

343
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:41,119
Speaker 1: in history. But as next Saban showed you don't just

344
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 1: step in and automatically win in the NFL just because

345
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 1: you view one in college. All right, this is for

346
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:52,960
Speaker 1: both of you guys. We're gonna play quarterback carousel. You

347
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:58,080
Speaker 1: gotta call your shot. Who will start? All right? Here

348
00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:01,640
Speaker 1: we go in general. You go first the Chicago Bears.

349
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 1: Who's the starting quarterback? Well, he've already announced Andy Dalton,

350
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:10,400
Speaker 1: but he won't be long before Justin Field starts. Okay, Mark,

351
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:13,919
Speaker 1: I was amazed. I was amazed. In fact, we got

352
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:15,760
Speaker 1: a who's better on that coming up, but I was

353
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 1: amazed they just went ahead and then made the Why

354
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:21,000
Speaker 1: make the announcement? Now do it next week, you know,

355
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:23,960
Speaker 1: give the media something to write about next week when

356
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:26,919
Speaker 1: you have no fourth preseason game, to get ready for

357
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 1: your final tilt and to hold everybody in suspense. What's

358
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:40,560
Speaker 1: the problem? Okay? San Francisco forty nine. Jimmy ge Okay, Well, well,

359
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:43,399
Speaker 1: Jimmy g was kind of in his press conference, he

360
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:45,520
Speaker 1: kind of led on that, you know, he got he

361
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:47,840
Speaker 1: has to be ready for when Lance comes into the game,

362
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 1: or something like that. I didn't hear the quote, but

363
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:51,960
Speaker 1: I heard that he did something like that where he

364
00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:55,119
Speaker 1: sort of had to tell if you will. I think, look,

365
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:57,639
Speaker 1: if you want to win football games right away, you

366
00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:00,280
Speaker 1: have Jimmy Garoppolo on your team. How do you not

367
00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:03,520
Speaker 1: start Jimmy Garoppolo. I know you drafted this kid, but

368
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:08,000
Speaker 1: he's raw, raw meat, right he needs to develop. Jimmy

369
00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 1: Garoppolo is a proven player. He missed one throw in

370
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:12,840
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl and everyone's like, oh my gosh, he's terrible.

371
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:15,440
Speaker 1: Please you want a lot of games with what he's

372
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:18,080
Speaker 1: healthy and as long as he's healthy, I would play

373
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:22,320
Speaker 1: him until Lances beats him out. Period. I know Jimmy

374
00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 1: g didn't do well in the preseason game last week.

375
00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:28,000
Speaker 1: I don't care until he proves that he's terrible of

376
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:31,960
Speaker 1: starting him. Okay, this was not the Vanderant. That was not,

377
00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:35,800
Speaker 1: but it was pretty good. That wasn't all? Right? Here

378
00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:40,760
Speaker 1: we go Patriots. General, you referenced it with Cam out,

379
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:43,880
Speaker 1: Mac Jones stepped up and get some nice things. General,

380
00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:46,480
Speaker 1: who starts in New England? And who do we see

381
00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:51,280
Speaker 1: in week five? In Week five, we're gonna see Mac Jones.

382
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:54,639
Speaker 1: I thought Cam Newton would start the season out of respect.

383
00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:57,119
Speaker 1: They spend a lot of money in free agency to

384
00:21:57,200 --> 00:21:59,920
Speaker 1: help Cam Newton, but I'll tell you what that man

385
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:04,159
Speaker 1: communication could cost him his starting job if mac Jiales

386
00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:07,440
Speaker 1: keeps looking good. But I'm still gonna say it's gonna

387
00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:10,480
Speaker 1: be Newton. When you play a rookie over Vett, you

388
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:14,240
Speaker 1: got to make sure that the players understand it too,

389
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 1: because usually that starting quarterbacks very is very respected by

390
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:21,680
Speaker 1: the veterans. You don't want to bench him just because

391
00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:24,560
Speaker 1: you've got a number one Pickett quarterback. So I'm gonna

392
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:27,840
Speaker 1: say cam Nart starts the season, Texans will see mac

393
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:31,400
Speaker 1: Jones all right. Well, my fador rant is for later,

394
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:34,439
Speaker 1: and it is the media reaction to the mac Jones

395
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 1: performance in the joint practice session yesterday against the New

396
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:40,400
Speaker 1: York Johnson. But we'll save that, Johnny. I think mac

397
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 1: Davis should start for the Patriots because mac Davis looks

398
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:46,080
Speaker 1: really good at North Dallas forty. You know, he's got

399
00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:49,280
Speaker 1: the hair, you know he can go out partying, wake up.

400
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:52,520
Speaker 1: He's got Nick Nolty to throw the ball too. I

401
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:54,600
Speaker 1: think mac Davis would be a good start a quarterback

402
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:57,000
Speaker 1: for the page. How many listeners have a clue what

403
00:22:57,080 --> 00:23:04,920
Speaker 1: you're talking about? I really it's terrible, It's terrible. You're right,

404
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:07,840
Speaker 1: it's awful. I hate that. I hate the dated movie

405
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:11,639
Speaker 1: references North Dallas forty Seed Boys and Girls. It's so dated.

406
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:15,280
Speaker 1: In fact, it's so some of the football seats are

407
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:18,720
Speaker 1: so badly shot. You just see darkness in the background

408
00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:20,120
Speaker 1: because they're like, how are we gonna do a crowd,

409
00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:22,399
Speaker 1: I don't know, just make it really dark, yeah, so

410
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:25,879
Speaker 1: you don't see anything. And now you know, they do

411
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:28,960
Speaker 1: a really good job of simulating full stadiums. You know,

412
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:31,120
Speaker 1: for a while they had to get actual people. Now

413
00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:33,520
Speaker 1: they just got a few people and digitize everybody else.

414
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:35,680
Speaker 1: In general, you know all these movie tricks. I mean,

415
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:38,560
Speaker 1: I mean, you've been around these sets. When we shot

416
00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:41,399
Speaker 1: the Rookie at the Rangers Ballpark, we wrapped in the

417
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:44,760
Speaker 1: press box and we were watching them snap onto the

418
00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:49,640
Speaker 1: seats and left field, these dummies, and they were doing

419
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:53,239
Speaker 1: them like every third seat. And every time I've watched it,

420
00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:57,440
Speaker 1: I've stopped actioned it. I've done everything, and I cannot

421
00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:00,240
Speaker 1: tell which are the dummies and which are the ends

422
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:02,880
Speaker 1: because I was there for the filming. But that's why

423
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:07,560
Speaker 1: they that's why they're Hollywood. Well, I think there's a

424
00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:12,399
Speaker 1: joke in there somewhere. Somewhere while they were doing it,

425
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:16,840
Speaker 1: Randy Galloway, the retired columnist for the Fort Worth Star Telegram,

426
00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:21,040
Speaker 1: said to the director John Lee Hancock, Hey, if you

427
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:23,960
Speaker 1: hang out to some of those dummies, ship him over

428
00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:27,240
Speaker 1: to Jerry. He's gonna need him this season for the Cowboys.

429
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 1: I mean, I felt like a Deadpool moment where had

430
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:33,400
Speaker 1: three or four different lines. I'm like, I can't get

431
00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:36,560
Speaker 1: one out. I got three or four lines right here. Yeah,

432
00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:39,680
Speaker 1: like the dummies are sitting in the open air stadium

433
00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:43,240
Speaker 1: in the summertime in Arlington. But they needed him for

434
00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:45,239
Speaker 1: COVID last year. I don't know. We had a lot

435
00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:47,280
Speaker 1: of different ones. Okay, General, what do you have going

436
00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:50,320
Speaker 1: out on the chronicle? You mentioned column for tomorrow. I

437
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:53,560
Speaker 1: did write a column about Justin Reid talking about after

438
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:57,199
Speaker 1: missing Rogers and Prescott, what a good task Brady will be.

439
00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:01,560
Speaker 1: Brooks Cabine has got a story going MALIEK. Collins. We've

440
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:05,760
Speaker 1: got podcast and videos and notes and blogs and columns

441
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:08,320
Speaker 1: and guys, thank you very much, and I will see

442
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:11,800
Speaker 1: you an NRG stadium. Look it forward to a General

443
00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:14,480
Speaker 1: will be on the pregame show as well, which starts

444
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:17,480
Speaker 1: at four o'clock. Right here coming up. Who's better. We've

445
00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:21,240
Speaker 1: got quarterback decisions. We have Steven A Smith who wants

446
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:24,600
Speaker 1: a new partner and who should it be instead of

447
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:27,080
Speaker 1: who he wants? And the Vanderant is coming up a

448
00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:31,760
Speaker 1: little bit later. Like we said, it's Texans Radio. This

449
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:35,960
Speaker 1: is Whitney Merciless and you're listening to Texans Radio. Don't

450
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:43,000
Speaker 1: touch that dog a mercy Mercy. The Houston Texans and

451
00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:45,560
Speaker 1: Chevron have teamed up with the Boys and Girls Club

452
00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:49,399
Speaker 1: of Greater Houston and the Houston Food Bank to create

453
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:52,639
Speaker 1: the Chevron Market Pantry at the Houston Texans Team Club.

454
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:57,000
Speaker 1: The partnership provides food to the local community and is

455
00:25:57,080 --> 00:26:02,240
Speaker 1: run by Team club members and Chevron volunteers. Together, we're

456
00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:12,160
Speaker 1: helping make Houston a better place to call home. From

457
00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:16,200
Speaker 1: the slightest bend to complex motions, your body is made

504
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:09,240
Speaker 1: a couple of days away. We're forty eight and a

505
00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:12,880
Speaker 1: half hours away from kickoff. The New England Patriots are

506
00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:15,360
Speaker 1: not visiting. It would be the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but

507
00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:18,360
Speaker 1: they did visit in the preseason in twenty seventeen. Johnny

508
00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:19,920
Speaker 1: and Tom Brady played in that game. That's the only

509
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:22,840
Speaker 1: Brady appearance in the preseason at NRG Stadium or anywhere

510
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:26,640
Speaker 1: against the Houston Texans until now. So we have that.

511
00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:29,720
Speaker 1: And for the first nine years in franchise history, the

512
00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:33,640
Speaker 1: Buccaneers visited or not visited. The Buccaneers played the Texans

513
00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:36,520
Speaker 1: in the preseason finale that was Game four, then home

514
00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:40,200
Speaker 1: and away series. And what is your prevailing memory of

515
00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:46,360
Speaker 1: that series? Johnny, do you have one uh oh boys

516
00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:52,920
Speaker 1: in Texans? This this is for the nitty gritty, mucky

517
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:58,040
Speaker 1: muck Texans fans. Okay, the digging deep Texans fans like

518
00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:01,160
Speaker 1: me who remember that in two thousand in nine, Dan

519
00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:03,400
Speaker 1: Orlovski and he's pretty well known now with all his

520
00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:06,840
Speaker 1: ESPN stuff, Dan Orlovsky was the backup quarterback to Matt

521
00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:09,560
Speaker 1: Shop and he started that fourth preseason game at Tampa.

522
00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:12,680
Speaker 1: All right, so we're looking forward to bananas Foster at

523
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:15,320
Speaker 1: the half, which all the media members bring up when

524
00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:18,560
Speaker 1: they talk about going to Tampa, because that's what matters,

525
00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:22,160
Speaker 1: is dessert, okay, or food on the road for media people,

526
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:26,360
Speaker 1: because we're very self important this way and we're hungry anyway. Yes,

527
00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:30,400
Speaker 1: Orlowski starts the game, throws a pick. Grossman comes in.

528
00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:33,000
Speaker 1: It's like I'm going deep and he just starts checking

529
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:34,920
Speaker 1: the ball around the yard and he throws two touchdown

530
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:38,760
Speaker 1: passes and wins the job. In Orlovsky's gone at that point.

531
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:41,720
Speaker 1: Good for him. He's got this career now broadcasting. But

532
00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:45,600
Speaker 1: that was like a fourth preseason game moment, if you will.

533
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:47,560
Speaker 1: And I bring it up because it was the Buccaneers

534
00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:49,840
Speaker 1: used to play. Yeah, I remember that now. I do

535
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:54,040
Speaker 1: remember that now because Laski come over and he used

536
00:30:54,040 --> 00:31:00,320
Speaker 1: the Yukon guy and Sean Pendergas's dad. Oh yes, there's

537
00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:02,240
Speaker 1: a big Yukon guy. He knows all of them. Mean,

538
00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:06,320
Speaker 1: Paul got us one, oh Man, Paul. One day the

539
00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:10,120
Speaker 1: summer of eight or nine, he got us Ray Allen

540
00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:15,880
Speaker 1: and Sean and I blew through about three straight breaks,

541
00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:18,800
Speaker 1: about thirty to thirty five straight minutes with Ray Allen,

542
00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:22,560
Speaker 1: and it was awesome. It was awesome. So like anybody

543
00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:24,600
Speaker 1: connected to Yukon, we were, we were all about it.

544
00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:28,760
Speaker 1: And so when Dan signed here, we had actually we

545
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:33,240
Speaker 1: had actually talked with Dan, uh, you know, like before

546
00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:36,200
Speaker 1: he got to Houston, and of course we brought the

547
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:37,520
Speaker 1: whole thing and run out of the end zone and

548
00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:39,360
Speaker 1: all that. You know, we thought it was great. And

549
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:41,640
Speaker 1: so then he signs with the Texans and we were like, yes,

550
00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:44,480
Speaker 1: this is awesome. We got our guy, we got our texts.

551
00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:47,880
Speaker 1: And then that Tampa Bay game happened. We're like, oh,

552
00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:52,440
Speaker 1: I guess that's not gonna be our guy. So yeah,

553
00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:56,000
Speaker 1: it was yeah, it was, um I do remember that now,

554
00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:59,600
Speaker 1: got that seems like eons eons ago. It was. It

555
00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:04,120
Speaker 1: was are you ready to play? Who's better? Of course? Okay,

556
00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:08,640
Speaker 1: here we go. Who's better? Johnny better quarterback decision? Not

557
00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:12,600
Speaker 1: the better quarterback, but the better decision made Denver deciding

558
00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:16,000
Speaker 1: to start Teddy Bridgewater or the Bears announcing that they

559
00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:22,800
Speaker 1: will start Andy Dalton. Better quarterback decision Broncos, the Broncos

560
00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:27,480
Speaker 1: all the way. And here's why I think that Drew

561
00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:33,160
Speaker 1: Locke is the more talented guy and what we have,

562
00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:36,160
Speaker 1: but we shouldn't say, I shouldn'tay and shod, but but

563
00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:38,960
Speaker 1: it hasn't come together for him. Now, I will admit

564
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:41,680
Speaker 1: not having you know, watched you know, every single practice

565
00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:44,360
Speaker 1: like we have of our Texans and and preseason games

566
00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:46,960
Speaker 1: will only tell you so much. But you know, Teddy's

567
00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:51,320
Speaker 1: the kind of guy for defensive head coach like Vic Fianzio,

568
00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:54,120
Speaker 1: because Teddy is not going to take a ton of chances.

569
00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:58,000
Speaker 1: He's gonna take the checkdowns, he's gonna take profit at times,

570
00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:00,280
Speaker 1: but he's really not going to push the ball down

571
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:01,720
Speaker 1: the field. He's not gonna do a ton of that,

572
00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:04,120
Speaker 1: even though he's got a bunch of weapons in Denver

573
00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:07,080
Speaker 1: like Corton with Sutton kJ Hammler, Jerry Judy, he's got

574
00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:09,000
Speaker 1: guys to throw the ball to and throw it down

575
00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:14,760
Speaker 1: the field. So at some point they're gonna realize, you

576
00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:17,280
Speaker 1: know what, Look, our defense is pretty good, but we

577
00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:19,880
Speaker 1: need to jump start to the offense. Drew Locke is

578
00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:23,200
Speaker 1: then going to get that opportunity. And what Locke does

579
00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:25,160
Speaker 1: with that opportunity is going to tell you what the

580
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:27,400
Speaker 1: Denver Broncos want to do at the quarterback position in

581
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:31,600
Speaker 1: the offseason if Locke gets Once Locke gets that job

582
00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:35,040
Speaker 1: back and all of a sudden looks like, hey man,

583
00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:38,400
Speaker 1: there's something here. They're gonna stick with him if they

584
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:41,239
Speaker 1: find out. Okay, look, Drew Locke just hasn't He's not

585
00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:44,560
Speaker 1: getting it. Bridgewater is not the answer. We gotta go.

586
00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:46,840
Speaker 1: You at a quarterback via trade or via the draft,

587
00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:49,760
Speaker 1: depending on where they fall. And that's that's gonna tell

588
00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:53,080
Speaker 1: a story to me. The Bears Makan Justin I'm sorry

589
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:55,960
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton QB one and you know I'm a big

590
00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:58,240
Speaker 1: and golf fan. I love Andy. I think he is

591
00:33:58,280 --> 00:34:02,200
Speaker 1: a tremendous guys from k did great work at TCU.

592
00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:05,280
Speaker 1: He's one of the more underrated guys I thought early

593
00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:08,279
Speaker 1: on in the NFL because from twenty eleven through twenty

594
00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:11,120
Speaker 1: I think the first five years in the league he

595
00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:14,000
Speaker 1: had the Bengals in the playoffs, doing some solid things

596
00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:17,880
Speaker 1: with the sin Say Bengals. But that time has passed.

597
00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:22,839
Speaker 1: It's Justin Field's opportunity put him in and could can

598
00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:25,200
Speaker 1: we see a scenario like Tom Savage and the Sewan

599
00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:28,760
Speaker 1: back in twenty seventeen. Heck yeah, Savage goes out there realize,

600
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:32,120
Speaker 1: oh man, the single work and then you go to

601
00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:34,120
Speaker 1: at that point the rookie, and then you know, the

602
00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:36,759
Speaker 1: rest is history. So I think that's gonna end up

603
00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:40,239
Speaker 1: happening with the Bears. I just felt like watching both quarterbacks,

604
00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:42,759
Speaker 1: and I saw both the preseason games, there's no way

605
00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:45,000
Speaker 1: you could tell me if you took the jersey numbers

606
00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:47,000
Speaker 1: off and you didn't know which one was the which

607
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:49,560
Speaker 1: one was the rookie, you'd have no idea. You'd say, hey,

608
00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:52,280
Speaker 1: start one. He's the better quarterback by far. He should

609
00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:57,480
Speaker 1: be starting. Just the fields will be starting by week three. Okay,

610
00:34:57,920 --> 00:35:02,440
Speaker 1: justin field starts by week three. I'm writing this down yet,

611
00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:08,160
Speaker 1: So I got it. I got it. We're gonna monitor this.

612
00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:12,520
Speaker 1: We're gonna monitor your picks, all right. Continuing, Who's better here,

613
00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:16,600
Speaker 1: better team that no one is talking about, Minnesota or

614
00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:19,760
Speaker 1: the Raiders, better team that no one is talking about.

615
00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:22,480
Speaker 1: And really, I know some people have mentioned the Raiders

616
00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:25,560
Speaker 1: and having fans in Vegas and all that Minnesota has

617
00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:29,600
Speaker 1: had their COVID situation, but really these are real under

618
00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:34,080
Speaker 1: the radar teams right now. Yeah, the Raiders. I think

619
00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:39,160
Speaker 1: Derek Carr. Everybody wants to replace Derek Carr. I think

620
00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:41,680
Speaker 1: if I don't know, I don't know if it's Gruden,

621
00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:43,200
Speaker 1: I don't know who it is, but just leave the

622
00:35:43,239 --> 00:35:45,759
Speaker 1: guy alone. Look like I played quarterback. He's been a

623
00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:49,000
Speaker 1: very successful quarterback. He was not the reason that team

624
00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:51,120
Speaker 1: went the tank last last year. At the end of

625
00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:55,200
Speaker 1: the year, defense couldn't stop anybody. I think Henry Ruggs

626
00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:57,560
Speaker 1: and year two can prove to be a much more

627
00:35:57,680 --> 00:36:01,480
Speaker 1: valuable deep downfield weapon. I think Josh Jacobs is the

628
00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:03,000
Speaker 1: way they run the ball. Look, I know they made

629
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:05,359
Speaker 1: some change on the offensive line, and I do think

630
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:08,040
Speaker 1: that group is not nearly as good as it's been.

631
00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:11,600
Speaker 1: But with Josh Jacobs in the backfield, I'll take my chance.

632
00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:13,239
Speaker 1: As Darren Waller is on the top tight ends of

633
00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:16,440
Speaker 1: the league, and I think defensively they've gotten better with

634
00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:19,560
Speaker 1: some of the additions that they've made. And I feel

635
00:36:19,600 --> 00:36:24,160
Speaker 1: like it's just as crazy as it sounds. I feel

636
00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:26,680
Speaker 1: like the quiet and the silence will do the Raiders

637
00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:29,520
Speaker 1: some good. Just shut up and play. You know, they

638
00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:32,160
Speaker 1: just win, baby, Just shut up and play, baby, that's

639
00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:34,440
Speaker 1: what they should do. I think the Vikings quarterback issue

640
00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:37,680
Speaker 1: is gonna be. The quarterback situation is going to be

641
00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:42,560
Speaker 1: an issue because this whole non vaccinated thing with Kirk Cousins.

642
00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:44,960
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna rears its head again. I just

643
00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:47,319
Speaker 1: I just do. I think there's gonna be something there.

644
00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:51,160
Speaker 1: I think Zimmer was furious with what went on with

645
00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:54,239
Speaker 1: those quarterbacks. They drafted kellum On at the bottom at

646
00:36:54,239 --> 00:36:57,120
Speaker 1: the end of the second round, and I do think

647
00:36:57,320 --> 00:37:00,799
Speaker 1: that there's gonna be there's gonna they're going to be

648
00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:04,960
Speaker 1: issues now. I do think Minnesota's defense bounces back and

649
00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:08,839
Speaker 1: plays better, but I think the offense is gonna have

650
00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:13,040
Speaker 1: some struggles and if anything blow down Dalvin Cook, if

651
00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:16,960
Speaker 1: there's any nagging injury, an ankle, hamstring, calf, whatever, that

652
00:37:17,080 --> 00:37:21,839
Speaker 1: offense is going to basically be cousins of Jefferson, you know,

653
00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:24,279
Speaker 1: with a side order of cousins of theeling and that's it,

654
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:26,600
Speaker 1: and that's not going to do that well. I think

655
00:37:26,600 --> 00:37:31,520
Speaker 1: it's gonna be I think the Raiders, Okay, Johnny continuing,

656
00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:36,160
Speaker 1: who's better better looking rookie quarterback based on what you see,

657
00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:40,160
Speaker 1: whatever it is, what you've seen in the preseason Mac Jones,

658
00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:43,399
Speaker 1: whatever throws you've seen from him or Zach Wilson, they're

659
00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:45,799
Speaker 1: both in the same division. We don't know if Jones

660
00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:47,799
Speaker 1: is starting or not. He's the subject of the rant

661
00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:50,720
Speaker 1: coming up in the next segment. But who's loved better

662
00:37:50,760 --> 00:37:54,040
Speaker 1: to you? Wilson played Green Bay most recently. Jets went

663
00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:57,799
Speaker 1: up there and did pretty well. What do you think? Well,

664
00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:02,040
Speaker 1: you know, it's I think both of them them look

665
00:38:02,239 --> 00:38:06,040
Speaker 1: really good. They're just they're just different. Mac Jones is

666
00:38:06,120 --> 00:38:10,479
Speaker 1: kind of like Greg Maddox in that Maddox could just

667
00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:16,280
Speaker 1: he could throw five different types of fastballs and locate

668
00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:19,440
Speaker 1: them exactly where he wanted to. None of it looks

669
00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:21,839
Speaker 1: just you know blow you like, every time you watch

670
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:24,640
Speaker 1: Greg Maddox pitch, he felt like, hey, they should hit

671
00:38:24,680 --> 00:38:27,160
Speaker 1: this guy, and then the ball just dances and moves

672
00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:29,200
Speaker 1: perfectly where it's supposed to go. That's kind of the

673
00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:31,399
Speaker 1: way Mac Jones is. You know, He's sort of an

674
00:38:31,480 --> 00:38:36,440
Speaker 1: artist in that way, whereas watching Zach Wilson is kind

675
00:38:36,440 --> 00:38:39,479
Speaker 1: of like a guy with this massive curveball. You can't

676
00:38:39,560 --> 00:38:42,759
Speaker 1: hit it. Man, His stuff is just electric. Maybe not

677
00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:46,000
Speaker 1: the ninety eight ninety nine mile fastball, but man. The

678
00:38:46,040 --> 00:38:48,800
Speaker 1: stuff he throws, things just break off the table because

679
00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:51,000
Speaker 1: some of that throws in Zach Wilson made against the packers.

680
00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:54,000
Speaker 1: He zipped one into Corey davison dig route. Then he

681
00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:56,200
Speaker 1: kind of bought himself some time and threw back across

682
00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:58,800
Speaker 1: the Grand to Davis. He really kind of found something

683
00:38:58,800 --> 00:39:01,720
Speaker 1: with Corey Davis too, So keep an eye in that connection.

684
00:39:01,800 --> 00:39:05,520
Speaker 1: But this one is kind of fifty one forty nine

685
00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:08,279
Speaker 1: to me, like almost right down the middle. I still

686
00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:10,799
Speaker 1: will go with Zach Wilson because I do think that

687
00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:14,080
Speaker 1: Zach can still buy himself some time in the pocket,

688
00:39:14,080 --> 00:39:18,440
Speaker 1: whereas Mac does get some nice pockets. But I still

689
00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:25,399
Speaker 1: think things have got to run relatively smooth for Mac

690
00:39:25,480 --> 00:39:27,840
Speaker 1: to be successful. Now, look, he's not a tree slough

691
00:39:27,920 --> 00:39:29,640
Speaker 1: back there. I mean he can, you know, he can

692
00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:32,920
Speaker 1: move a little bit. But you start getting some pressure

693
00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:34,759
Speaker 1: at his feet, you start making him move a little bit.

694
00:39:35,120 --> 00:39:37,920
Speaker 1: I think Mac will break down a little bit more

695
00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:40,840
Speaker 1: than Zach Wilson will. Zach will, you know, keep things alive,

696
00:39:41,120 --> 00:39:43,440
Speaker 1: you know, flick one side arm. You know. Zach Wilson

697
00:39:43,640 --> 00:39:46,160
Speaker 1: exactly what everybody wanted Johnny Manziel to be, to be

698
00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:47,919
Speaker 1: honest and He's shown it at least through the first

699
00:39:47,960 --> 00:39:50,520
Speaker 1: couple of games in the preseason, so we'll see. He

700
00:39:50,560 --> 00:39:52,840
Speaker 1: showed some touch on a touchdown throw the Tyler Croft

701
00:39:53,360 --> 00:39:55,760
Speaker 1: that was beautiful down to see him a great throw,

702
00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:58,000
Speaker 1: didn't zip, it didn't loft, it kind of put it

703
00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:01,000
Speaker 1: in between and made a beaut full throw. So I'm

704
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:03,920
Speaker 1: gonna say, Zach Wilson, this one's really really close. I

705
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:05,960
Speaker 1: have a theory, I have a question. I'll ask you,

706
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:08,000
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna save it for off air and has

707
00:40:08,080 --> 00:40:12,000
Speaker 1: to do it Matt Jones being traded, but I won't.

708
00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:15,200
Speaker 1: I won't. I'll save it for off year. Yeah, it's

709
00:40:15,320 --> 00:40:18,320
Speaker 1: very intriguing. That's that's a that's a tease for everybody

710
00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:24,480
Speaker 1: to like, ye know us and when all right, who's

711
00:40:24,520 --> 00:40:29,279
Speaker 1: better here? Steve and A. Smith has said reportedly he

712
00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:33,239
Speaker 1: wants Magic Johnson to be a co host better co

713
00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:36,839
Speaker 1: host for Steve J. Smith? Who's better Magic? Or I'm

714
00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:38,960
Speaker 1: gonna name one here? You gotta you gotta name one.

715
00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:41,680
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say Jail and Rose. I you know, Jaellen

716
00:40:41,760 --> 00:40:45,520
Speaker 1: Rose might not be loud enough. But I can't see

717
00:40:45,600 --> 00:40:48,160
Speaker 1: Magic doing great in that job. And I love Magic,

718
00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:50,680
Speaker 1: but that's not a good job for Magic. How many

719
00:40:50,719 --> 00:40:52,880
Speaker 1: times do we have to put Magic in the wrong

720
00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:56,360
Speaker 1: job late night talk show host, head coach of the Lakers.

721
00:40:56,719 --> 00:40:59,799
Speaker 1: Don't you know? Magic is a great businessman. He's a

722
00:40:59,840 --> 00:41:03,000
Speaker 1: wonderful guy, great ambassador of the game. He does not

723
00:41:03,239 --> 00:41:07,680
Speaker 1: need this job to be Stephen A. Smith's counterpoint, this

724
00:41:07,880 --> 00:41:12,480
Speaker 1: is so depressing Stephen A. Smith with Magic. I just

725
00:41:12,680 --> 00:41:16,319
Speaker 1: I want no, I want no part of that. You

726
00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:20,640
Speaker 1: know whats Yeah? I know Jalen can go toe to

727
00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:22,520
Speaker 1: toe with Stephen A like I can. I can see

728
00:41:22,520 --> 00:41:25,720
Speaker 1: you would beat out. I think it would be a mismatch. Honestly,

729
00:41:28,760 --> 00:41:30,640
Speaker 1: Jayleen can go off to deep end with some things.

730
00:41:30,640 --> 00:41:33,200
Speaker 1: And you're like, yo, Jayalen, that's just flat wrong what

731
00:41:33,360 --> 00:41:35,920
Speaker 1: you said. Like, I've heard him say stuff that's just

732
00:41:36,040 --> 00:41:40,719
Speaker 1: flat wrong. I'm like, hey, y, but Steve, anybody, Oh well,

733
00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:43,480
Speaker 1: Stephen Hay is the steady air he is. He's an

734
00:41:43,600 --> 00:41:47,400
Speaker 1: error and walking every time he gets ridiculous. That said

735
00:41:48,280 --> 00:41:52,200
Speaker 1: Jayleen go toe to toe. I like, I like Jayleen. Um, yes,

736
00:41:52,360 --> 00:41:54,640
Speaker 1: Rachel Nichols, But sounds like that's not gonna happen. So

737
00:41:54,760 --> 00:41:58,640
Speaker 1: let's let's hold on and I'm gonna say Jayleen Ropes,

738
00:41:59,040 --> 00:42:02,600
Speaker 1: let's go, Let's go, and Jay not happening, Jayleen Rose,

739
00:42:03,760 --> 00:42:07,239
Speaker 1: Jaylor Rose will work, all right? You know who steven A.

740
00:42:07,320 --> 00:42:10,200
Speaker 1: Smith is, and you're gonna look and we need the

741
00:42:10,200 --> 00:42:13,240
Speaker 1: general back. Stephen A. Smith is Howard Cosell of this era.

742
00:42:13,480 --> 00:42:15,839
Speaker 1: He is. I don't want to hear him. I don't

743
00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:17,439
Speaker 1: like his voice whatever. You know, a lot of people

744
00:42:17,480 --> 00:42:19,279
Speaker 1: don't like him, but he's making twelve million dollars a

745
00:42:19,360 --> 00:42:23,000
Speaker 1: year because people watch him. I don't like him, but

746
00:42:23,120 --> 00:42:25,920
Speaker 1: I need to watch him. And you know, just like

747
00:42:26,080 --> 00:42:29,680
Speaker 1: Skip Bayliss and he were perfect together because I mean

748
00:42:29,800 --> 00:42:31,640
Speaker 1: they would both say things that I'd say, what are

749
00:42:31,640 --> 00:42:37,279
Speaker 1: you crazy? Come on, that's not even true. Factually, Yes,

750
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:41,920
Speaker 1: you either love to listen to him, hate to listen

751
00:42:41,960 --> 00:42:45,239
Speaker 1: to him. But that last word is listen. That's what

752
00:42:45,239 --> 00:42:47,600
Speaker 1: you're doing, and that's all they want. And that's and

753
00:42:47,640 --> 00:42:49,920
Speaker 1: that's what's gonna happen. If you have Jayalen and stephen A,

754
00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:52,800
Speaker 1: it'll be it'll be tote to tote. You know who'd

755
00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:55,200
Speaker 1: be interesting going against steven A every day because I

756
00:42:55,200 --> 00:42:58,120
Speaker 1: don't think stephen A could handle telling him he's wrong?

757
00:42:58,560 --> 00:43:01,759
Speaker 1: Is Alan Iverson? I don't know how good ay I

758
00:43:01,760 --> 00:43:05,040
Speaker 1: would be on the mic, but that's not the only guy.

759
00:43:05,120 --> 00:43:08,640
Speaker 1: Steven A. Smith would be like, you know, you know, uh, Alan,

760
00:43:08,920 --> 00:43:12,320
Speaker 1: you're you're right about that. When you have fourteen players

761
00:43:12,480 --> 00:43:15,440
Speaker 1: on the field, that's gonna be a good thing for

762
00:43:15,560 --> 00:43:19,080
Speaker 1: the Texans this year. The other day, somebody it was

763
00:43:19,120 --> 00:43:21,839
Speaker 1: actually it was actually Alan Iverson. I don't know if

764
00:43:21,840 --> 00:43:27,399
Speaker 1: you saw this, Mark. Alan Iverson said no, no, lie, yeah,

765
00:43:29,040 --> 00:43:33,160
Speaker 1: play football, and he posted a two minute, fourteen second

766
00:43:33,320 --> 00:43:39,239
Speaker 1: video of his football highlights today today, listen today. It

767
00:43:39,239 --> 00:43:41,520
Speaker 1: would people would be all over that. Look at Kyler Murray,

768
00:43:41,640 --> 00:43:44,400
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, look, Iverson is not the biggest

769
00:43:44,400 --> 00:43:46,359
Speaker 1: guy in the world, but he could tear it up today. Now.

770
00:43:46,360 --> 00:43:47,839
Speaker 1: I don't know if you make it as look at

771
00:43:47,880 --> 00:43:51,080
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray's future still in doubt if you will us

772
00:43:51,200 --> 00:43:54,640
Speaker 1: immensely talented, done some things, but jury's out for the

773
00:43:54,719 --> 00:43:56,759
Speaker 1: long term. All right, Let's get to this next the

774
00:43:56,840 --> 00:44:02,839
Speaker 1: vanderant On a certain quarterback getting some media attention. It's

775
00:44:02,840 --> 00:44:05,239
Speaker 1: not really about him as much as other things. And

822
00:46:40,040 --> 00:46:45,919
Speaker 1: it is all right, standing back, look out MacMan mac

823
00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:48,680
Speaker 1: Joe Art. So there was a joint practice joint practice

824
00:46:48,719 --> 00:46:51,560
Speaker 1: sessions this week between the Patriots and the New York Giants.

825
00:46:51,680 --> 00:46:57,800
Speaker 1: Jones yesterday yesterday did well, apparently against the New York Giants.

826
00:46:57,800 --> 00:47:04,319
Speaker 1: In fact, a PFF reporter published his numbers. He went

827
00:47:04,400 --> 00:47:07,320
Speaker 1: to combine whatever it was. It was like eighty percent

828
00:47:07,440 --> 00:47:12,960
Speaker 1: combined in one on ones, seven on seven and eleven

829
00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:16,960
Speaker 1: on eleven. I thought, one on one stats, baby, let's

830
00:47:17,080 --> 00:47:21,719
Speaker 1: go to the super Bowl. Let's just publish everybody's one

831
00:47:21,760 --> 00:47:23,319
Speaker 1: on one stats with those who don't know. That's just

832
00:47:23,320 --> 00:47:26,200
Speaker 1: a quarterback throwing into a receiver who's marked by defensive back.

833
00:47:26,280 --> 00:47:28,880
Speaker 1: That's all it is, right, And if you complete the pass,

834
00:47:29,280 --> 00:47:32,680
Speaker 1: that's a completion and it goes in your stats that

835
00:47:32,800 --> 00:47:37,319
Speaker 1: are gonna be reported and describing how great you are

836
00:47:37,560 --> 00:47:41,120
Speaker 1: in practice because you're lighting up the New York Giants

837
00:47:41,120 --> 00:47:44,560
Speaker 1: that you're ready for the super Bowl. He was fantastic,

838
00:47:44,920 --> 00:47:47,200
Speaker 1: and Newton was out of course because of the COVID issue.

839
00:47:47,640 --> 00:47:50,520
Speaker 1: But to make this much of a big deal, Hey, look,

840
00:47:50,960 --> 00:47:53,279
Speaker 1: mat Chell, I like mac Jones, Johnny. Maybe mac Jones

841
00:47:53,280 --> 00:47:56,520
Speaker 1: turns into a fantastic NFL quarterback. He might. I'm not

842
00:47:56,680 --> 00:47:59,160
Speaker 1: gonna take that away from him. But when he completes

843
00:47:59,239 --> 00:48:01,560
Speaker 1: a twelve year had passed. I think that if you

844
00:48:01,600 --> 00:48:05,160
Speaker 1: took Davis Mills and basically put him in his numbers

845
00:48:05,600 --> 00:48:07,359
Speaker 1: in mac Jones, they'd be like, look at that, look

846
00:48:07,400 --> 00:48:09,040
Speaker 1: at that throw, look at that or that one didn't

847
00:48:09,040 --> 00:48:10,919
Speaker 1: go so well, but look at that throw. He's gonna

848
00:48:10,960 --> 00:48:13,239
Speaker 1: be great. I don't know. I just think there's such

849
00:48:13,280 --> 00:48:16,680
Speaker 1: a desire to have the Tom Brady replacement in New England.

850
00:48:16,719 --> 00:48:18,560
Speaker 1: They know it's not Cam Newton because he's a short

851
00:48:18,680 --> 00:48:22,120
Speaker 1: term fix. It best that they're going over the top.

852
00:48:22,160 --> 00:48:24,279
Speaker 1: They're going over the top for mac Jones. Any kind

853
00:48:24,280 --> 00:48:28,439
Speaker 1: of positive development is way cool for them, and they're

854
00:48:28,440 --> 00:48:31,520
Speaker 1: going way too far with it, and by their logic,

855
00:48:31,760 --> 00:48:34,160
Speaker 1: by their logic, not all the media members, but some

856
00:48:34,239 --> 00:48:37,440
Speaker 1: of them. They should be begging for Cam Newton to

857
00:48:37,480 --> 00:48:39,759
Speaker 1: start based on the fact that he did well against Eagles, right,

858
00:48:39,760 --> 00:48:42,120
Speaker 1: he was eight of nine or whatever, and Jones wasn't

859
00:48:42,120 --> 00:48:45,120
Speaker 1: as good. So let's start Cam Newton on that logic.

860
00:48:45,480 --> 00:48:48,799
Speaker 1: And I think it ultimately will be ultimately, meaning Week

861
00:48:48,840 --> 00:48:50,799
Speaker 1: one will be Cam Newton. I think ultimately it will

862
00:48:50,840 --> 00:48:52,600
Speaker 1: be Mac Jones. But I think Cam Newton's gonna get

863
00:48:52,600 --> 00:48:55,840
Speaker 1: the first chance to lead the New England Patriots and

864
00:48:55,840 --> 00:48:59,239
Speaker 1: they'll take it from there. Your thoughts, Yeah, I think

865
00:48:59,400 --> 00:49:01,279
Speaker 1: we talked to were with the general a while ago.

866
00:49:01,800 --> 00:49:05,439
Speaker 1: This week has been great for Mac Jones. And it's

867
00:49:05,480 --> 00:49:08,759
Speaker 1: funny because you said pff it actually was one of

868
00:49:08,760 --> 00:49:12,560
Speaker 1: the New England beat writers. The New England beat writers

869
00:49:12,600 --> 00:49:17,560
Speaker 1: all keep stats, attempts and completions in practice, like six

870
00:49:17,680 --> 00:49:20,440
Speaker 1: or seven on the one, your buddy, are all of them?

871
00:49:21,920 --> 00:49:26,000
Speaker 1: Every everything? Your buddy Almando Sargero shouted him out today saying,

872
00:49:26,120 --> 00:49:28,920
Speaker 1: and he listened like six or seven on them, said hey, man,

873
00:49:29,000 --> 00:49:31,879
Speaker 1: it's great you guys in New England watch with such

874
00:49:31,920 --> 00:49:34,399
Speaker 1: a fine tooth comb. These are some of the best.

875
00:49:34,600 --> 00:49:38,879
Speaker 1: Like why because they're counting completions in practice. We're talking

876
00:49:38,880 --> 00:49:42,960
Speaker 1: about practice. We're talking about practice, not a game, not

877
00:49:43,080 --> 00:49:46,160
Speaker 1: a game. We talk about practice. In one on ones,

878
00:49:46,480 --> 00:49:49,399
Speaker 1: you should complete eighty five percent of your one on one.

879
00:49:49,520 --> 00:49:51,600
Speaker 1: So yeah, I'm right there with you. I almost followed

880
00:49:51,680 --> 00:49:55,879
Speaker 1: the Harris rant, but it's just I could leave that

881
00:49:56,040 --> 00:50:00,120
Speaker 1: behind if I'm being honest. So I mentioned earlier or

882
00:50:00,160 --> 00:50:03,000
Speaker 1: Brady played against the Texans in the preseason in twenty seventeen.

883
00:50:03,040 --> 00:50:05,880
Speaker 1: That was Watson's rookie year, right, and in that game,

884
00:50:05,880 --> 00:50:07,880
Speaker 1: Watson didn't play well. You look at the numbers, they

885
00:50:07,880 --> 00:50:09,400
Speaker 1: weren't good. I think it was three for ten or

886
00:50:09,440 --> 00:50:12,040
Speaker 1: something like that. But everyone's begging for him to start,

887
00:50:12,200 --> 00:50:14,919
Speaker 1: you know, because look, the preseason is the preseason. Now,

888
00:50:15,040 --> 00:50:18,000
Speaker 1: I'm not saying it means nothing. I'm not saying it

889
00:50:18,040 --> 00:50:21,520
Speaker 1: means nothing, and practice clearly means something. But it's a

890
00:50:21,600 --> 00:50:24,080
Speaker 1: body of work. It's what you're seeing, it's what's thrown

891
00:50:24,160 --> 00:50:26,480
Speaker 1: at you. There's a whole lot of context there that

892
00:50:26,520 --> 00:50:29,839
Speaker 1: doesn't get that doesn't get told properly. I think by

893
00:50:29,840 --> 00:50:32,360
Speaker 1: so many of these reporters. All right, running out of time, quickly,

894
00:50:32,400 --> 00:50:34,719
Speaker 1: give me the best game of this weekend because there're

895
00:50:34,760 --> 00:50:37,200
Speaker 1: only about four or five games anyway. And I know

896
00:50:37,480 --> 00:50:40,320
Speaker 1: what Illinois plays in Nebraska, that's brand name. But you

897
00:50:40,400 --> 00:50:43,879
Speaker 1: gotta yeah, why UCLA? What else is good? Johnny? What's good?

898
00:50:44,560 --> 00:50:46,719
Speaker 1: I want to watch President State. I know there's been

899
00:50:46,760 --> 00:50:50,520
Speaker 1: a lot of talk about Keeton Slow's quarterback. USC quarterbacks

900
00:50:50,600 --> 00:50:54,960
Speaker 1: out the country. I think the best smaller quarterback is

901
00:50:55,040 --> 00:50:58,439
Speaker 1: Jake Haner from Fresno State. This guy was unbelievable last

902
00:50:58,480 --> 00:51:02,000
Speaker 1: year numbers wise. Act. He's kind of got a Zach

903
00:51:02,080 --> 00:51:04,759
Speaker 1: Wilson like throwing motion. He's got a good arm, he's

904
00:51:04,800 --> 00:51:08,160
Speaker 1: got some weapons. Jake Hayner guy from Fresdoll State. I'll

905
00:51:08,200 --> 00:51:10,520
Speaker 1: take him before a lot of a lot of the

906
00:51:10,520 --> 00:51:13,359
Speaker 1: the six one and under quarterbacks. He kind of fits

907
00:51:13,440 --> 00:51:15,640
Speaker 1: that category because Flois is not a big guy, but

908
00:51:15,840 --> 00:51:18,480
Speaker 1: just from the West Coast. He can throw and they

909
00:51:18,480 --> 00:51:22,680
Speaker 1: play ukon Ucon's got a great great um, big massive

910
00:51:22,760 --> 00:51:25,720
Speaker 1: nose tackle things names Ernest Jones. Uh he's a pretty

911
