1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,520
Speaker 1: Hello, Texans, Welcome to the show, and it's going to

2
00:00:02,560 --> 00:00:04,440
Speaker 1: be a good one tonight because we're going to go

3
00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:07,760
Speaker 1: over the highlights of day six at training camp with

4
00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:11,440
Speaker 1: John Harrison. Just a moment here, the mcnairs were with us,

5
00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:13,560
Speaker 1: so you're going to be with them on the air

6
00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:16,880
Speaker 1: here in this hour of Texans Radio, so get ready

7
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:20,239
Speaker 1: for that. Also, Lake and Tomlinson was with the in

8
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:23,360
Speaker 1: the loop guys, let's hear some of that. And Amon

9
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:27,080
Speaker 1: Green on with us. Yes he was this morning. Four

10
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:30,320
Speaker 1: time pro bowler. Yes, Texan's career didn't go as well

11
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:33,560
Speaker 1: as we wanted it to, but he's an outstanding NFL legend,

12
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:35,159
Speaker 1: so he's going to be on the show with us

13
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:38,080
Speaker 1: as well. Let's start it off because everybody asks us

14
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:41,120
Speaker 1: what went on at training camp today? So Johnny, how

15
00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:43,839
Speaker 1: did it go at training camp today? Well, the offense

16
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:46,520
Speaker 1: showed up, Yeah, they did. It's been a couple of days,

17
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 1: you know.

18
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:49,280
Speaker 2: They started having a little bit of momentimum Monday, which

19
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:51,240
Speaker 2: is kind of nice. We talked about that this morning

20
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:54,440
Speaker 2: that I was a little surprised that it was better

21
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 2: than I expected because always after a day off, first

22
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:01,960
Speaker 2: day in pads, it's such hot intensity. You know, the

23
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:05,320
Speaker 2: ball sales on quarterbacks, receivers are jittering, all that kind

24
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:08,679
Speaker 2: of stuff in it, and but money, I didn't think

25
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 2: it was that way.

26
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:11,040
Speaker 3: So I was kind of curious how today would go.

27
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:15,480
Speaker 2: And I felt like the offense found a little bit

28
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 2: of itself and I thought that was good.

29
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 3: You know, there was not a lot of running the ball.

30
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:20,840
Speaker 3: They did run the ball.

31
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 2: What I liked about the way they ran the ball

32
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:26,639
Speaker 2: was these running backs and none of them are.

33
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 4: You know, Juar.

34
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 2: We know Duar is not big, he's five nine ninety five,

35
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 2: you know, but what he's thick and put together.

36
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 3: JJ Taylor is.

37
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 5: A bowling ball.

38
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 4: Butcher knives.

39
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 3: Those guys don't back down, run the ball inside.

40
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 2: So then a couple of solid inside runs and you

41
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 2: could just see them hammer it in there, which I like.

42
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:45,679
Speaker 3: They they didn't sit back. And you know, I thought

43
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:46,840
Speaker 3: Nick had a couple of runs.

44
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 2: One he had where he kind of jumped cut into

45
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 2: the outside, which is sweet. Looked like he still got

46
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 2: still has the juice now, is it like he was

47
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 2: as a rookie. No, but I think, you know, there's

48
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 2: just enough juice needed. But I thought today the past

49
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 2: game was really really good. After CJ threw an interception

50
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 2: to to Kaylan early after that, I felt like all

51
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 2: four quarterbacks just threw it around.

52
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 4: Wait, was that in seven on seven or full teen?

53
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 2: Seven on seven? It was the first. They did seven

54
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:17,639
Speaker 2: on seven first, and they did a team drills, right.

55
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 1: But let me ask you this about the pick by Bullock,

56
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 1: because I'm sure that got some run by the media

57
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:25,240
Speaker 1: watching practice or whatever. Yes to me, and I was

58
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 1: watching with the Robert Hensley and we were in the

59
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 1: end zone near our tent. You were elsewhere. You were

60
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:33,360
Speaker 1: already dug in deep in your in your position, your

61
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 1: Johnny position.

62
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 3: You may have had a better shot at it than

63
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:36,960
Speaker 3: I did, but I saw it pretty well.

64
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 4: We were watching it from the back end.

65
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:41,519
Speaker 1: Hensley thought immediately Higgins cut off the round, that's right,

66
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 1: and tried to sit down.

67
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 3: I think Kayln.

68
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 2: Kayln cut in front of him, and I think Jaden

69
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,919
Speaker 2: slowed down and that was enough. I think I think

70
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 2: CJ expected him across his face and yeah, look, Kaylyn

71
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 2: didn't allow him to do it. But I think it

72
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 2: was a good lesson for Jayden to have learned. Got

73
00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 2: to keep running that round, to keep running that route.

74
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 2: So you know, that's what you know. It's hard to

75
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 2: put on It's hard to put on CJ in some sense.

76
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 5: But that was it.

77
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:08,680
Speaker 2: After that, these quarterbacks through dimes, I mean all over

78
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 2: the place. Graham had a couple, Graham Mertz had a

79
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:14,799
Speaker 2: couple of nice throws. Davis continues to throw the ball

80
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:16,919
Speaker 2: extremely well. But I thought this was Seven's best day.

81
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 2: And then I don't even think it was close. I

82
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,639
Speaker 2: mean he threw, he threw passes throughout the day.

83
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 5: He had won.

84
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:25,240
Speaker 2: You know, I have this nightmare, this recurring nightmare in

85
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 2: a sense, mark of the twenty twenty three Jacksonville game

86
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 2: at home. Okay, remember we played him here as a

87
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 2: big game. They were seven and four, we were We

88
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 2: were six and four, they were seven and three. Yep,

89
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 2: so we won it. That would have given us a

90
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 2: huge leg up because we would have won both games

91
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:43,839
Speaker 2: against him.

92
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 3: And I remember that game. Christian Kirk went to work.

93
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 2: We had no answer for the game, and they kept

94
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 2: running that deep over against man coverage and Trevor hit

95
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 2: it a couple of times.

96
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 3: I'm like, man, that play.

97
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 2: Could be big in our arsenal Well, CJ hit that

98
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 2: play today. It was nice. So it's good to see that. Higgins, though,

99
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 2: came back in practice. Now and why I say came

100
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 2: back in practice he had so that interception happened that

101
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 2: probably was on him, maybe not one hundred percent. And

102
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 2: look this is where you want to make those mess

103
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 2: that's right, that's right. So a little bit later he

104
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:18,160
Speaker 2: caught a pass. CJ threw a high pass on the

105
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 2: far sideline. Jaden went up. I mean he's skyed to

106
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:22,920
Speaker 2: get it, and it looked like, oh mean, he's gonna

107
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 2: make this catch for first down. As he came down,

108
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 2: he got popped by Petree and the ball came out incomplete,

109
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 2: and then somebody else kind of nudged Jaden at the

110
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:34,040
Speaker 2: same time, like, all right, wet's see what Jayden's about. Well,

111
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 2: I think you found out what Jade Higgins is all

112
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:39,480
Speaker 2: about because a series or so later he ended up

113
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 2: on my sideline one on one. I think it was Tremont.

114
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 2: I don't recall brought a blitz man a man. The

115
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:49,600
Speaker 2: read is for a quarterback perfect you go outside, it's

116
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 2: man to man. You got a six to four receiver

117
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:52,719
Speaker 2: out there, you just gotta go give him a chance,

118
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 2: especially against six or seven man pressure. So David just

119
00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 2: lays it out there on the sideline. Higgins goes up

120
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 2: and completely mosses the dB whoever it is. I think

121
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 2: it may have been Traymond on much. I mean, he

122
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 2: goes up over his head like he's got it.

123
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 5: I can't.

124
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 2: I don't know how high any area's got it, comes down,

125
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 2: hangs on to it. Now I kind of I lost

126
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 2: him after he went up. I was kind of stuck

127
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 2: behind some people, so I looked out to the field

128
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 2: to see the reaction from the offense or defense whoever

129
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 2: can and al sudden I saw Juir Jordan like his

130
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:25,680
Speaker 2: hands kind of like, oh, he caught it. And then

131
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 2: he got closer to it and he gets kind of

132
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 2: raised the ball up and saw you walk and put

133
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:31,039
Speaker 2: his hands on his helmet like, oh my god, he

134
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:35,280
Speaker 2: did that. What I love about that is it shows

135
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:38,720
Speaker 2: you the mentality that you want to see from a rookie,

136
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:42,279
Speaker 2: and that is the interception early could have been my fault.

137
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:44,599
Speaker 2: That catch on the sideline. I needed to hang on

138
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:46,920
Speaker 2: to that. That's a third down throw. I gotta hang

139
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 2: onto that. But then instead of staying down like just no,

140
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 2: he comes back and makes probably the catch of the

141
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:54,680
Speaker 2: day on our sideline, and so that was really nice

142
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:56,720
Speaker 2: to see. Xavier Hutchinson had a hell of a one

143
00:05:56,720 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 2: handy catch, but CJ threw it really really well. Adult

144
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 2: and Schultz down to seam. It's kind of one of

145
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 2: those routes where he's running down the seam and he's

146
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 2: kind of splitting the safety in the corner, and so

147
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:08,160
Speaker 2: he kind of stretched staying with his route, and then

148
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:10,160
Speaker 2: broke it back in a little bit. I'm telling you,

149
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 2: there was probably a space the size of a big purse.

150
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 4: Yep, and he throws it in there.

151
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:15,920
Speaker 2: And he stuck it right in there. It was almost

152
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 2: like he walked over and just put it right in

153
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 2: his arm.

154
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:19,159
Speaker 4: It was unbelievable, beautiful throw.

155
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:22,919
Speaker 1: What about Belie Mechi's catch on the sideline, which was

156
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 1: the best catch I've ever seen Mechi make maybe ever, Yes,

157
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:30,279
Speaker 1: certainly in a training camp scenario. So good for him,

158
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:33,160
Speaker 1: yep to grab that ball along the sideline. And I'm

159
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:35,240
Speaker 1: watching a catch like that. When you see a receiver

160
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 1: catch a ball like that, you're thinking, well, how do

161
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:38,920
Speaker 1: you ever drop one? If you could do that, you

162
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 1: should be able to do everything. That was a good catch.

163
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:42,360
Speaker 1: Park I was right in line with that.

164
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 4: Play.

165
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:45,600
Speaker 3: That play is remarkable on so many levels.

166
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 2: And I wrote about this Harris Hitch you can see

167
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 2: to Houston, Texas dot com, so go read them all.

168
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:52,240
Speaker 2: Got a good, a good stretch, about four or five

169
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 2: pages worth the notes. I put it in there so

170
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 2: you'll you'll like it. But I was standing right in

171
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 2: line with that throw mark. It was pretty amazing because Davis.

172
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 2: Davis throws out ball well before John is ready to

173
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 2: catch it, well before, and just lays it out there,

174
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 2: and I'm kind of like, who's gonna catch it? And

175
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 2: then I see I see John's there, and I was like, man,

176
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 2: he's got to make one hell of an adjustment and

177
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 2: then he kind of got turned and caught the ball,

178
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 2: and I was.

179
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 4: Like, that was brilliant.

180
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 5: That was flat out.

181
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 2: I mean I literally was on the sideline by myself

182
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 2: writing notes, going that was freaking brilliant.

183
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 5: I mean it was.

184
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 6: It was just the way Davis through the ball, how

185
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 6: he threw it. He threw the perfect ball.

186
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:34,119
Speaker 2: John's got to make an adjustment to make the catch

187
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 2: with a defender that close by, and he does it,

188
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 2: and I'm like, man, the receiver stepped up today. I mean,

189
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 2: Higgins metchi x Justin Watson had a couple of really

190
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 2: nice catches.

191
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 1: Merch had a nice moment. Who Merch hit Watson? He

192
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 1: hit Watson cover two hole. I mean, Merch just stuck

193
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 1: it right in there. It was nice to see. And look,

194
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 1: the defense was not what I saw. County Hamilton make

195
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 1: a really nice play against the run. Got Rod right

196
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 1: really excited. Oh yeah really in the backfield, Yes, yes,

197
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:09,880
Speaker 1: I got really excited with that. Jake Hansen, he I

198
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 1: wrote about him. He made a really nice play against Jauar.

199
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 2: Juar kind of didn't really have a lot of room

200
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:16,920
Speaker 2: to run on a duo play, and Jake read it

201
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 2: perfectly and just step right into gap. And that's why

202
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 2: I like my side on the sidelines, so I could see, oh,

203
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 2: this looks like an opening and then boom, you see

204
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 2: it slam shut by linebacker player. It's really meant interesting.

205
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 2: But here's the other thing that I'll say as well.

206
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 2: I felt like the past protection today was as good

207
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 2: as I've seen it. Yeah, well that is a great

208
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 2: that's a great step.

209
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:39,680
Speaker 1: But the other thing is it felt like the ball

210
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:43,559
Speaker 1: came out faster. Yes, things came out in rhythm more

211
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:46,199
Speaker 1: that there was no I can't throw it there, I'm

212
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:49,680
Speaker 1: gonna stare around and then boom, I got a coverage

213
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 1: sack or would be traded.

214
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 4: That's right.

215
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 2: And they worked on some situational stuff, like they worked

216
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 2: on their back, you know, being backed up to go

217
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 2: down coming out, as we would say.

218
00:08:58,240 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 3: And I thought they did.

219
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:02,200
Speaker 2: I mean, they did a nice job with that couple

220
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 2: of you know CJ's first drive in that they hammered

221
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 2: Nick into the line for probably two yards each. Now

222
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:09,959
Speaker 2: third and six, Boom, he hits Brev and they bring

223
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 2: some blitz. It gets picked up and uh, CJ hits Brev,

224
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 2: you know, kind of out, got a couple of steps

225
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 2: on the defender, turns it up first down. It was

226
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 2: just a lot of high level execution day by the offense.

227
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 2: Perfect a Picasso.

228
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:24,319
Speaker 7: No.

229
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 2: But the paint was being thrown up on the wall

230
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 2: today and that was really good because there have been

231
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:31,000
Speaker 2: a couple of days where you're like, there's no paint

232
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:33,199
Speaker 2: going up there and you're worried about that. But they

233
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 2: protected much better. They gave all their quarterbacks time to throw.

234
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:39,679
Speaker 2: And I'm I'm I'm telling you, you know, Keaton hasn't

235
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:41,720
Speaker 2: had a I mean, he's kind of rotating a little

236
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:46,920
Speaker 2: bit with with Graham Keaton started okay, but Davis Mills

237
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 2: and Graham Mertz are throwing the ball exceptionally well.

238
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, Davis looks like right now. And Mertz you can

239
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 1: see why they took him. You can see what they

240
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:57,680
Speaker 1: saw and there's some juice there. And we're looking forward

241
00:09:57,679 --> 00:09:59,960
Speaker 1: to the preseason games a week so Saturday at minnesot

242
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 1: It's gonna be good. Okay, as we promised. The mcnairs

Speaker 9: This this is just awesome. I'm really excited about it.

257
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, we did have a tea that went around on

258
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 1: some merch a few years ago, right, But then we

259
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:45,560
Speaker 1: went to the h last couple of years and the

260
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:47,960
Speaker 1: h was huge, so we had to wait to put

261
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:48,720
Speaker 1: the tea in play.

262
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 4: Is that how it went to Kelly?

263
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:51,840
Speaker 9: The groundwork a little bit, had you play the groundwork,

264
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 9: and then now seem to be the right time. And

265
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 9: I'm excited hopefully the people everyone likes it and give

266
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:01,199

Speaker 6: the age really really well.

271
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:08,720

272
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it's in the same family. That's a good

273
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:11,840
Speaker 3: way of putting. It's in the same family.

Speaker 4: All right, very nice, very nice.

281
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:31,200
Speaker 1: Indeed, Johnny mentioned the shirt and we have to mention

282
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 1: this because Saturday was such a special day and we

283
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:36,440
Speaker 1: began it with a moment of silence for those who

284
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 1: have suffered because of the floods, those who have passed,

285
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:42,720
Speaker 1: those who are still suffering, and the recovery efforts, and

286
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 1: I know that was important to both of you.

287
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:47,080
Speaker 9: It was important to touch a lot of a lot

288
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 9: of people's lives and it's a privilege to be able

289
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:52,680
Speaker 9: to give back and try to be a part of

290
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:57,080
Speaker 9: the the efforts there. But it was really tragic, tragic.

291
00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:57,880
Speaker 10: Event, devastating.

292
00:11:58,200 --> 00:11:59,960
Speaker 4: Well, I'm so glad that we did that in the show.

293
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:03,560
Speaker 1: It's proceeds benefit those who have suffered and are suffering,

294
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 1: the recovery efforts, and also on a much brighter note,

295
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:09,960
Speaker 1: we were also able to break the news Hannah.

296
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 11: Yeah, okay, I know I've gotten a lot of slack

297
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:15,960
Speaker 11: for going out of sequence.

298
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:18,080
Speaker 4: Listen, I wasn't gonna go there.

299
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:20,520
Speaker 11: I think it was my fault way out there, like wait,

300
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:25,120
Speaker 11: we missed our cues. But I think the message was

301
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 11: well received by the fans that Cow's mom, Janis McNair

302
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 11: is going into the Ring of Honor, And it was

303
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:36,440
Speaker 11: so much fun to tell her that we wanted to

304
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:39,240
Speaker 11: do that for her, because of course we always run

305
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:44,360
Speaker 11: everything by her, and her response was, you know, that

306
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:46,640
Speaker 11: shouldn't be me that should be, you know, and she

307
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 11: named some names and so cow goes, Mom, you deserve

308
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:55,079
Speaker 11: to be up there with Dad. You built this together,

309
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:57,680
Speaker 11: and the tears in her eyes and she said, you

310
00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 11: know what, I would be honored to be up there

311
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:04,440
Speaker 11: next to my husband. And so that was really just

312
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:07,080
Speaker 11: it means a lot to be able to do that

313
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:11,560
Speaker 11: for her, but she also deserves it in every way.

314
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:15,280
Speaker 9: Yeah, she was at Dad's side the whole time, and

315
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:19,800
Speaker 9: they were a power couple or but they did everything

316
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:23,080
Speaker 9: together and Tuxans was no no different from that, and

317
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:26,120
Speaker 9: from the even before there was a team, she was

318
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:28,920
Speaker 9: there with them working on it, and and then was

319
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:32,079
Speaker 9: with them for twenty years, you know, yeah, the team,

320
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:34,719
Speaker 9: and then she took over for a period of four

321
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:38,080
Speaker 9: or five years and just did a terrific job. And

322
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:41,320
Speaker 9: she totally deserves it, and we're excited to be able

323
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:42,720
Speaker 9: to do that with her this year.

324
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:45,920
Speaker 3: What did it mean to her when I'm assuming that

325
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:47,200
Speaker 3: she has when she saw.

326
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:49,160
Speaker 6: The video from JJ, when she heard from Andre, what

327
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:51,880
Speaker 6: does that mean to her to hear from those two?

328
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 9: Yeah, I meant, uh, she loves players, Yeah, and she

329
00:13:57,080 --> 00:14:00,680
Speaker 9: loves those two especially, and to hear from them just

330
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 9: really meant the world and to be one of those

331
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:03,800
Speaker 9: four up there.

332
00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:07,720
Speaker 8: She's she's excited now, she's read work.

333
00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:08,320
Speaker 10: On her speech.

334
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:10,520
Speaker 11: She's been going, Okay, now I think this is what

335
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 11: I want to say.

336
00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:16,600
Speaker 10: So it's just to see the excitement from her. It

337
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:17,199
Speaker 10: means a lot.

338
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:21,440
Speaker 9: And she gets a red jacket, so she's yes, scheduling

339
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:24,160
Speaker 9: her appointment to get fitted for the red jackets, and

340
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:26,240
Speaker 9: so these things mean a lot to her.

341
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 8: So it's a lot of fun.

342
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 3: You're gonna have to sprint down from the press box

343
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 3: for this one.

344
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,840
Speaker 4: I hope to be involved with this one again because yeah, this.

345
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 8: Is If you can't follow your script, Mark, it's probably me.

346
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 5: He had the.

347
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:41,760
Speaker 7: Script in front of them.

348
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:43,200
Speaker 4: No one would have known. We pulled it off. That

349
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:45,120
Speaker 4: was the main thing. I just set you up, I said,

350
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 4: NRG stadium.

351
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:47,120
Speaker 12: She brought it up right now.

352
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:48,760
Speaker 7: No one knew.

353
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 8: We were fine.

354
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:54,040
Speaker 4: We're good. Everything literally emotional, you know, it was.

355
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:55,440
Speaker 10: It was very sweet to get to.

356
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:56,760
Speaker 4: View it really was.

357
00:14:56,880 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 1: When you involved missus McNair, it gets emotional you because

358
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 1: you think of Bob McNair, you think of the whole

359
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 1: history of everything. I mean, John McClain was talking about

360
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 1: meeting Janie McNair in nineteen ninety seven, you know, when

361
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:10,240
Speaker 1: the process of trying to get the team was underway,

362
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:12,960
Speaker 1: and his impressions of her and he loves her, and

363
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:16,240
Speaker 1: just hearing about it from that perspective.

364
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 4: In addition everything else is so wonderful.

365
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 1: Really, So I can't wait for that day against the

366
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:22,760
Speaker 1: Broncos Week nine, And yeah, I hope to be sprinting

367
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:25,160
Speaker 1: from the broadcast booth to be able to do that.

368
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:28,280
Speaker 1: I wanted to ask you to this because I'm blown

369
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:31,480
Speaker 1: away by these players now. On the field, yes, but

370
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:33,440
Speaker 1: I have to say I think it's the best group

371
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:35,400
Speaker 1: we've ever had on the field. But we can debate

372
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:38,480
Speaker 1: that off the field. And we've had great players here,

373
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 1: great guys, wonderful people, Walter Payton of the Year, Man

374
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 1: of the Year nominees, We've had a winner with JJ Watt.

375
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:46,280
Speaker 1: We've had so many great people, I think, top to

376
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 1: bottom though this roster, I have never felt better about

377
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:54,480
Speaker 1: the kinds of individuals these guys are, the humans they are,

378
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:57,680
Speaker 1: They're so wonderfully nice, polite, and I know it's all

379
00:15:57,680 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 1: about winning the football games, but you have to feel

380
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 1: great about these kind of men representing the organization and

381
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:04,480
Speaker 1: the city of Houston Cow.

382
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:06,520
Speaker 9: Yeah, that's where we want to be. We want to

383
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:11,400
Speaker 9: win and have these guys that are exactly like you described.

384
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 9: And the other day we had the girls flag football

385
00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 9: championship team visiting practice. So after practice, this is an

386
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:25,040
Speaker 9: example of what you're talking about, Coach brought the team

387
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:27,360
Speaker 9: up and breaking him out, he said, by the way,

388
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:29,520
Speaker 9: the girls are over there. You know, maybe a couple

389
00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:31,840
Speaker 9: of y'all can go say hi to them. Not a

390
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:34,240
Speaker 9: couple of them. The whole team went over there. They

391
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 9: stood in line and went down and shook hands and

392
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:42,680
Speaker 9: signballs and gave the girls congratulations. I mean, it was

393
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:45,600
Speaker 9: a whole team. It wasn't one or two. And I

394
00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:48,320
Speaker 9: was talking to coach. I said, Coach, you got some good,

395
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:50,760
Speaker 9: good guys here. Yeah, he said, yeah, and we're going

396
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:53,240
Speaker 9: to win a lot of games. So it's an and

397
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:56,120
Speaker 9: moment for us. But it's definitely that type of a

398
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:56,760
Speaker 9: group we have.

399
00:16:57,040 --> 00:17:01,720
Speaker 11: Actually, it's the culture that Demiko sets with all the

400
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:05,479
Speaker 11: guys in that locker room, with his coaches, with the

401
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:08,159
Speaker 11: types of players that he brings in the building, that

402
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:11,360
Speaker 11: we're a family, we do everything together, we lift each

403
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:12,040
Speaker 11: other up.

404
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:14,400
Speaker 10: We are hip to hip with each other.

405
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:19,119
Speaker 11: We do everything together and that's the.

406
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:20,880
Speaker 10: Culture that he has set.

407
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:24,879
Speaker 11: And when you have that from the top down, you

408
00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:27,840
Speaker 11: know that there's really only one way to be and

409
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:29,280
Speaker 11: that's together as a family.

410
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:32,080
Speaker 6: It's interesting listening to Sheldon Rankin today at as press

411
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:35,440
Speaker 6: conference because he was asked about coming back to Houston,

412
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:38,600
Speaker 6: and in coming back to Houston, he was like, the

413
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:41,160
Speaker 6: culture is now set, and it was like in twenty

414
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:43,920
Speaker 6: three when he was here, they were setting it. He's like,

415
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:46,120
Speaker 6: it's now set in twenty twenty five, which I thought.

416
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 6: I thought that was pretty interesting. Speaking of the girls'

417
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:55,520
Speaker 6: flag championships that weekend, I watched more flag football than

418
00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:58,399
Speaker 6: I probably have ever watched in my life. It was

419
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:01,920
Speaker 6: absolutely fantastic. What did you guys think of that championship?

420
00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:04,080
Speaker 10: Oh, that was so much fun to watch.

421
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:07,240
Speaker 11: And you know, we rewatched it because you can go

422
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:10,320
Speaker 11: back on the ESPN and NFL ups and rewatch these

423
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:14,800
Speaker 11: games because our daughter wanted to rewatch them, and so

424
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:18,600
Speaker 11: we got to watch them twice and it was just

425
00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:19,800
Speaker 11: really exciting.

426
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:23,560
Speaker 10: And you know, when you've been at some of these games, like.

427
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 11: We had the championships here for HISD and the vibe

428
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:29,080
Speaker 11: is so much fun. I mean, everybody's on the sideline

429
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:34,320
Speaker 11: jumping around, and there's nothing like football to create a

430
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:39,280
Speaker 11: team atmosphere on the sideline in a huddle with each other.

431
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 10: It's the ultimate team sport.

432
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:44,159
Speaker 11: And you can even see that in flag football with

433
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:48,280
Speaker 11: these girls and the camaraderie that they have and lifting

434
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:50,919
Speaker 11: each other up, wanting to be around each other, and

435
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:54,000
Speaker 11: then to go win on the field and dominate. They

436
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:58,359
Speaker 11: didn't just win, they dominated the Cowboys in the championship game.

437
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:01,600
Speaker 3: And you don't say.

438
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:05,400
Speaker 10: And just how talented they are.

439
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:09,080
Speaker 11: They work hard and you can see that and you

440
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:12,399
Speaker 11: know this, the She's Next movement is really taking off

441
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:15,760
Speaker 11: with flag football being in the Olympics in twenty twenty eight,

442
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:20,600
Speaker 11: and I think that we're right on target for helping

443
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:22,600
Speaker 11: these girls and getting it UIL sanctioned.

444
00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:24,240
Speaker 8: Yeah, and it's fun to watch.

445
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:27,399
Speaker 9: It's fun to watch on TV, very entertaining, and you

446
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:29,360
Speaker 9: can see the skill and the girls. I mean it's

447
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:31,680
Speaker 9: totally there. There's a lot of skill on the field.

448
00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:33,640
Speaker 4: No question, and the boys too.

449
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:37,600
Speaker 1: Who's that girl from the Jags viral one handed catch up?

450
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 1: I'm glad he doesn't port you for the actual Jaguars.

451
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:44,000
Speaker 9: Yes, he has like twenty seven offers, and yeah, exactly.

452
00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:45,240
Speaker 5: I don't know how he.

453
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 10: Can have twenty seven offers. He's fourteen.

454
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:50,080
Speaker 3: Yes, you're good, they'll find you.

455
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:52,440
Speaker 10: You can't even talk to them until your junior year.

456
00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:59,159
Speaker 6: Yeah, well, I don't know if you go to school

457
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:03,880
Speaker 6: camps and has changed. He's got an nil deal, Okay,

458
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:05,720
Speaker 6: nil deal maybe fourteen.

459
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:07,560
Speaker 10: Yeah, the nil deal is different.

460
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:10,960
Speaker 11: But if colleges are making offers like that's against the rule.

461
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:12,919
Speaker 3: I think you gonna make an offer as early as

462
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:13,240
Speaker 3: you want.

463
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:15,199
Speaker 6: On guys, I mean Lake Kiffin offered a kid from

464
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 6: West Virginia one year when he was in eighth grade.

465
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:19,800
Speaker 10: No, no, no, that's changed. The rules have changed.

466
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:20,400
Speaker 4: Okay.

467
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:22,480
Speaker 6: Now he played as a freshman. This is going into

468
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:24,200
Speaker 6: his sophomore year. So I don't know what what level.

469
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:25,879
Speaker 3: I don't know if they can do that.

470
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:28,040
Speaker 10: But John Harris, I'm surprised you don't know this.

471
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:31,119
Speaker 6: No, Johnny, Johnny, Well, I just don't know how you

472
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:34,160
Speaker 6: can't have an offer made to you that early.

473
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:35,840
Speaker 3: Now you might not have many excepted I don't know.

474
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:39,240
Speaker 1: Somebody check Google, Okay, I will I trust Hannah on this.

475
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:41,480
Speaker 1: By the way, Johnny because she runs about Okay's youth

476
00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:42,520
Speaker 1: league teams.

477
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:43,199
Speaker 5: Knows.

478
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:47,960
Speaker 11: We were at Alabama a month ago with my son's

479
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:51,000
Speaker 11: baseball team, and we had to wait until that Monday

480
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:55,080
Speaker 11: because it was the coaches couldn't be talking to our

481
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:57,480
Speaker 11: boys because they were going into their freshman year of

482
00:20:57,560 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 11: high school.

483
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:01,320
Speaker 10: So they could even be tak king to them. Because

484
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:03,200
Speaker 10: I can't do any of that until their junior.

485
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:07,200
Speaker 1: Skinner cracks analytics team on this AI says June fifteenth,

486
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:08,760
Speaker 1: after a student's sophomore year.

487
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:12,600
Speaker 4: After sophomore year, so junior going into rising.

488
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:15,760
Speaker 12: Okay, this will say, Hannah, you were right.

489
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:19,280
Speaker 5: I was on radio. This will be edited.

490
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:21,160
Speaker 4: Nobody knew this happened.

491
00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:23,159
Speaker 3: We're gonna We're gonna do that now.

492
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:25,320
Speaker 8: She will be shown in its entire time.

493
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:28,520
Speaker 10: Okay, but it is a recent rule change.

494
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:30,919
Speaker 4: It is okay, all right, I don't have all that.

495
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:33,080
Speaker 6: You're helping me out. I've been a little busy with

496
00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:34,200
Speaker 6: Houston Texans football.

497
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:34,520
Speaker 5: I like it.

498
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:37,200
Speaker 10: You stay focused, You stay focused on we need to

499
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:37,800
Speaker 10: focused on.

500
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:42,480
Speaker 6: Let's talk about Houston Texans football. Your your thought on

501
00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:44,480
Speaker 6: this team in twenty twenty five. What do you think

502
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:46,359
Speaker 6: thus far? What have you seen cal you go first.

503
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:50,359
Speaker 9: I see guys that are very talented out there, you know,

504
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:52,879
Speaker 9: after four or five days of practice, so it's really early.

505
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:55,680
Speaker 9: I see a lot of good execution on both sides

506
00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:58,480
Speaker 9: of the ball. I see them challenging each other on

507
00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:01,240
Speaker 9: both sides of the ball. Both sides are making plays.

508
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:05,720
Speaker 9: I saw some plays today from the safety position that

509
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:07,360
Speaker 9: were just really eye opening.

510
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:08,640
Speaker 5: I saw.

511
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 9: Or wide receivers and tight ends make some excellent plays.

512
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:17,119
Speaker 9: And I saw the goal line looked really good on

513
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:22,280
Speaker 9: both sides. And I like, our offensive line is really

514
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:26,320
Speaker 9: seems to be coming together and and this defense is

515
00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 9: pushing them. This defense, I think, is really going to

516
00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:32,200
Speaker 9: be something special. So I don't have a lot of thoughts,

517
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:34,119
Speaker 9: but those are sort of sort of my early.

518
00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:36,240
Speaker 6: Ones handed to that point. When you guys are out

519
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:38,840
Speaker 6: and about what's what's the one thing that you get

520
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:40,440
Speaker 6: asked emotion about this team?

521
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:42,600
Speaker 3: Is it about? Is it about the offensive line?

522
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:43,080
Speaker 5: Is it about?

523
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:44,440
Speaker 4: What's it about?

524
00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:49,080
Speaker 11: I would say both, Well, I mean in order to

525
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:50,560
Speaker 11: win a lot of games, you have to have an

526
00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:54,720
Speaker 11: O line keeping your quarterback upright right, So I mean

527
00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:56,280
Speaker 11: that that's a central focus.

528
00:22:56,520 --> 00:23:00,560
Speaker 10: CJ. You got to keep him. You know healthy upright

529
00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:03,480
Speaker 10: and allow him to make place.

530
00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:06,480
Speaker 1: I was going to ask you this because when we're

531
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:09,600
Speaker 1: watching practice, I know Johnny's watching everything and all the nuances.

532
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:12,200
Speaker 1: You know, when I watched the quarterback go back to pass,

533
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:13,760
Speaker 1: I kind of want to see the pass caught, right,

534
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:17,600
Speaker 1: I want to see a completion. But I know that

535
00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:20,480
Speaker 1: if the offense is torching the defense this time of year,

536
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 1: you probably have problems on defense. So the defense should

537
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:25,520
Speaker 1: be ahead of the offense at this point. But when

538
00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:28,400
Speaker 1: you watch practice, and a former Texans coach once said

539
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:30,720
Speaker 1: this already for the Texans, you know, whoever makes the

540
00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:32,800
Speaker 1: play great because we want both sides of the ball

541
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:34,320
Speaker 1: to be good. But it's got to be tough, though,

542
00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:36,399
Speaker 1: because they're all your children in a way, and you

543
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:37,680
Speaker 1: want to see everybody do well.

544
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:40,800
Speaker 8: That's exactly right. Who do you cheer for? Cheer for

545
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:41,520
Speaker 8: all of them?

546
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:45,239
Speaker 11: Yeah, And I mean you could see, like Saturday, some

547
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:47,560
Speaker 11: were saying that the offense didn't have a good day.

548
00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:50,760
Speaker 10: I don't know if you saw the offense after that practice,

549
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:51,600
Speaker 10: but they were mad.

550
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:53,240
Speaker 7: I mean they weren't.

551
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:56,360
Speaker 11: They weren't okay with their performance. They were mad. Right,

552
00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:58,040
Speaker 11: You're like, we need to do better.

553
00:23:58,119 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 4: So and they did better on Monday.

554
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:01,680
Speaker 10: That's part of the iron sharpens iron.

555
00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:04,680
Speaker 11: Right, you have a defense like this, I mean it

556
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:06,919
Speaker 11: could be the number one defense in the league. That

557
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:11,760
Speaker 11: secondary is incredible. So if you have those guys putting

558
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:15,840
Speaker 11: your offense to work, that's what you want. And that's

559
00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:17,520
Speaker 11: what I think you're seeing out there.

560
00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:18,199
Speaker 5: All right.

561
00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:19,840
Speaker 1: A couple of other things to get to before the

562
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:23,199
Speaker 1: close up business here today. We've got Cal's cookout coming up.

563
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:25,760

00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:28,520

00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:57,080

00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:34,280
Speaker 10: Oh, it's so nice there.

591
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:46,920
Speaker 9: far as we're two weeks into training camp. The heat

592
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:49,560
Speaker 9: has hit the guys pretty hard and will the rest

593
00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:51,760
Speaker 9: of this week, and then have that sort of break

594
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:54,399
Speaker 9: where they go up and get refreshed, get their legs

595
00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:58,159
Speaker 9: underhum and bond as a team, which is big, and

596
00:25:58,200 --> 00:25:59,800
Speaker 9: then you know it's about.

597
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:02,000
Speaker 8: Time start playing games. I mean, it's coming up fast.

598
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:04,639
Speaker 1: We were thinking about it. Three weeks from Saturday the

599
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:07,760
Speaker 1: preseason is over. Well, that's wild, that's fast. Just to

600
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:09,800
Speaker 1: put it that way. We're doing a lot of living

601
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:13,000
Speaker 1: in the next three weeks. Get it that way. All right, Well,

602
00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:15,560
Speaker 1: thanks so much for visiting with us. We really appreciate it.

603
00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:18,119
Speaker 1: Good luck, thanks for having us, for having us go Texans.

604
00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:22,720
Speaker 1: The mcnairs on Texans Radio. Coming up, we're gonna check

605
00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:25,520
Speaker 1: in with Laken Tomlinson. He was on in the Loop

606
00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:27,960
Speaker 1: with those guys, John Lopez and Reggie out of Tula.

607
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:33,320
Speaker 1: So let's hear that conversation next on Texans Radio back

608
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:36,280
Speaker 1: here in the Hundai Texans Radio studio, which is air conditioned,

609
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:38,840
Speaker 1: and I really appreciate that this time of year, among

610
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:41,119
Speaker 1: many other times of year. All right, let's get to

611
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:43,879
Speaker 1: some stuff that happened out on the field this morning

612
00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:46,200
Speaker 1: or next to the field with the in the Loop gang,

613
00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:49,240
Speaker 1: Reggie and John Lopez. It's really Reggie out of Tula

614
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:52,000
Speaker 1: and John Lopez. Otherwise it sounds like it's the Lopez brothers.

615
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:54,840
Speaker 1: But anyway, the end the Loop, guys catching up with

616
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:57,919
Speaker 1: Lincoln Tomlinson, who's holding it down at left guard for

617
00:26:57,920 --> 00:26:58,440
Speaker 1: the most.

618
00:26:58,240 --> 00:26:58,840
Speaker 4: Part right now.

619
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:02,800
Speaker 1: Actually that's the only place I've seen him play so far.

620
00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:05,600
Speaker 1: They're doing some mixing and matching at other spots in

621
00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:07,960
Speaker 1: the offensive line, but right guard seems like a lock

622
00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:11,159
Speaker 1: with Titus Howard Lake and Tomlinson at left guard. And

623
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:13,040
Speaker 1: we could talk about the rest of it later, but

624
00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:14,320
Speaker 1: let's hear that conversation.

625
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:17,200
Speaker 5: Laken, what's happening, brother, I'm doing good. I'm doing good, man.

626
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:19,280

Speaker 14: It was a big culture shock. And you know, going

655
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:27,119
Speaker 14: from you know, the culture that I had in Jamaica,

656
00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:30,280
Speaker 14: me and my family to the inner city Chicago, you know,

657
00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:34,199
Speaker 14: it was it was very different, you know, definitely, you know,

658
00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:36,880
Speaker 14: different from me as a kid, you know, ten years

659
00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:39,480
Speaker 14: old experiencing new things, you know, living in inner city

660
00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:41,560
Speaker 14: and adjusting to all, you know, everything's going on in

661
00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:44,280
Speaker 14: the community. It was tough, but you know, you know,

662
00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:46,680
Speaker 14: I had uncles that were there living there. They helped

663
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:49,640
Speaker 14: me adjust and you know, I had actually a really

664
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:50,800
Speaker 14: good mentor I messed.

665
00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:52,040
Speaker 5: Up with in the eighth grade and then you know,

666
00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:52,880
Speaker 5: really took care of me.

667
00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:55,400
Speaker 15: And I'm sorry, I don't know if this is accurate

668
00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:57,080
Speaker 15: or not, because it's just from snooping.

669
00:28:57,120 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 7: Like Reggie said, did you play soccer a lot in Jamaica?

670
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:00,240
Speaker 5: Oh?

00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:10,760
Speaker 7: Yeah, he's pre you're preaching to the choir. We both

675
00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:14,200
Speaker 7: are big fans Liverpool by the way, but anyway.

676
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:14,960
Speaker 5: Also Liverpool.

677
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:20,160
Speaker 15: No, I'm just saying, so, how much does that help

678
00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:21,600
Speaker 15: you once you transition to football?

679
00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:22,160
Speaker 5: Man?

680
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:24,640
Speaker 14: You know, growing up, I mean a little bit about me,

681
00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:26,720
Speaker 14: I was like the youngest of like a group of

682
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:29,680
Speaker 14: like eight nine boys growing up in my community.

683
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:30,640
Speaker 5: So we competed a lot.

684
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:32,320
Speaker 14: So you know, we played a lot of soccer, a

685
00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:34,960
Speaker 14: lot of cricket, and I just kind of grew up competing,

686
00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:38,200
Speaker 14: you know. So, uh, that competitive nature as a young

687
00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:41,160
Speaker 14: age and that environment you definitely transitioned over when I

688
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:43,520
Speaker 14: started playing football in the nice American football in the

689
00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:46,360
Speaker 14: United States. Yeah, and you know, I did track, I

690
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:49,360
Speaker 14: did wrestling, did basketball. I just love to compete, you know,

691
00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:52,680
Speaker 14: So that childhood that I had definitely helped me a

692
00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:53,680
Speaker 14: lot in sports.

693
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:56,640
Speaker 13: Now you compare that you talk about competition, that's been

694
00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:58,840
Speaker 13: the watch word, it feels like for the team here

695
00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:01,640
Speaker 13: with Tamiko with Cold What has been your experience, especially

696
00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:03,640
Speaker 13: for a vent like you, you've played a lot of places.

697
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:06,840
Speaker 13: With being in that old line room in particular, how

698
00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:09,280
Speaker 13: does that compare to the other places, other stops you

699
00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:09,800
Speaker 13: might have made it.

700
00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:11,360
Speaker 5: No, it's been extremely great.

701
00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:14,040
Speaker 14: Obviously working with Pop and the guys here, you know,

702
00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:16,120
Speaker 14: Titus and Blake, all those guys have already been here.

703
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:16,880
Speaker 5: It's been great.

704
00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:19,480
Speaker 14: And you know, guys are trying to do something special here.

705
00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:21,320
Speaker 14: I can feel that coming in from the get go,

706
00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:24,320
Speaker 14: so you know, it makes it that easy for me

707
00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:26,280
Speaker 14: to just kind of be myself, come in, be about

708
00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:28,840
Speaker 14: my business, come in, be up my work, and you know,

709
00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:30,560
Speaker 14: showed the team what you know, what I can give,

710
00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:31,360
Speaker 14: you know, as a player.

711
00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:33,920
Speaker 5: You know. So it's been great, you know, obviously working

712
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:34,560
Speaker 5: with those guys.

713
00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:37,360
Speaker 15: So obviously the offensive line is trying to set the mindset.

714
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:41,360
Speaker 15: Everybody has talked about it about we're going to establish

715
00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:45,120
Speaker 15: the mindset. Last couple of days seems to be, you know,

716
00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:48,160
Speaker 15: pretty successful doing that. Are you guys starting to kind

717
00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:48,880
Speaker 15: of catch on.

718
00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:50,400
Speaker 7: With collectively what you're trying to do?

719
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:52,880
Speaker 14: We are here just grinding every day. We're working every day, man,

720
00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:55,080
Speaker 14: and obviously you know we're leading on everything. Coach Pop

721
00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:57,120
Speaker 14: is teaching us and you know, we're coming to get

722
00:30:57,160 --> 00:30:58,800
Speaker 14: her as a group and trying to build that chemistry

723
00:30:58,840 --> 00:30:59,880
Speaker 14: one day at a time here and trading.

724
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:03,120
Speaker 15: Yeah, what about the style of play, because it's something

725
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:04,280
Speaker 15: that you probably.

726
00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:06,240
Speaker 7: Are a little familiar with, but it's new for everybody

727
00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:06,680
Speaker 7: right now.

728
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:08,560
Speaker 5: Man, it's been great. You know.

729
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:10,880
Speaker 14: Obviously Nick has a style offense and he wants to

730
00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:13,920
Speaker 14: establish here and guys are buying into it. And you know,

731
00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:15,680
Speaker 14: all we can do right now is just come out here,

732
00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:17,520
Speaker 14: you know, with a great attitude and just you know,

733
00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:18,640
Speaker 14: work our tails off now.

734
00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:20,440
Speaker 5: And it's been great so far.

735
00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:23,920
Speaker 13: Now you're been playing left guard and a guy who

736
00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:25,080
Speaker 13: has popped in at left tackle a.

737
00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:26,479
Speaker 12: Little bit has a lot of interest.

738
00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:30,320
Speaker 13: He's an early round draft pick and big boy obviously

739
00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:33,520
Speaker 13: ariontay Ursery. What has been being able to work next

740
00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:35,400
Speaker 13: to him and being a vet? What is that relationship?

741
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:37,480
Speaker 13: What has that experience been like thus far? And what

742
00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:39,640
Speaker 13: can you tell us about his development early on?

743
00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:41,800
Speaker 5: A man? Tay has been awesome.

744
00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:44,800
Speaker 14: Man, He's a young kid that listens and obviously, you know,

745
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:46,480
Speaker 14: coming with a ton of talent, you know, being a

746
00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:49,320
Speaker 14: high draft pick, and you know what exciting thing about

747
00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:51,920
Speaker 14: him that you know the mental steps that he's taken

748
00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:53,560
Speaker 14: so far, obviously as it physically.

749
00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:55,200
Speaker 5: Mental steps he's taken so far.

750
00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:57,840
Speaker 14: Just listening to coaches, listening to the players, and you know,

751
00:31:57,880 --> 00:31:59,160
Speaker 14: we got some vet players in the room.

752
00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:00,640
Speaker 5: It's been awesome for him.

753
00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:00,760
Speaker 11: Man.

754
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:02,440
Speaker 14: You know, that can take him a long way. So

755
00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:04,520
Speaker 14: it's really cool to see that, you know, young player, what.

756
00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:06,320
Speaker 7: Does he have going for him? Because Titus was talking

757
00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:06,880
Speaker 7: earlier or.

758
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:09,880
Speaker 15: Last week maybe about he's further along than I was.

759
00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:12,040
Speaker 15: You know when I came in, what are you seeing

760
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:12,840
Speaker 15: from him?

761
00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:14,760
Speaker 14: I'm seeing I'm seeing a lot of talent and that

762
00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:16,840
Speaker 14: mental that the thing is that mental step that he's taking.

763
00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:19,840
Speaker 5: You know, he's he's executing that on the field. You know.

764
00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:21,719
Speaker 14: So when you see that in a young player, man,

765
00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:24,239
Speaker 14: it's truly awesome because you know that he's sitting down there,

766
00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:26,720
Speaker 14: he's listening to the coaches, he's listening to the scheme,

767
00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:28,760
Speaker 14: and then he's he's trying to figure out, you know,

768
00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:31,360
Speaker 14: from teammates around him, how to execute the scheme at

769
00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:33,160
Speaker 14: a high level. Yeah, So when you see a young

770
00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:35,440
Speaker 14: guy really buying into that, whoh, it's awesome.

771
00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:36,200
Speaker 5: It's really awesome.

772
00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:38,560

00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:04,960
Speaker 5: Man, I gotta watch some tape.

783
00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:06,840
Speaker 14: But I play against a lot of great people, you know,

784
00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:07,880
Speaker 14: over the years.

785
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:09,440
Speaker 5: But you know, we got a ton of talent here.

786
00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:12,360
Speaker 14: I mean, obviously our defensive line is extremely talented. And

787
00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:14,040
Speaker 14: it's been an amazing working with those guys.

788
00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:14,480
Speaker 12: Yeah.

789
00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:17,120
Speaker 15: So we were talking right before you came up about

790
00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:19,680
Speaker 15: and it was a little off sports topic about things

791
00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:22,320
Speaker 15: you kind of that irritates you about your job. And

792
00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:24,400
Speaker 15: I look up and the entire offensive line is doing

793
00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:26,920
Speaker 15: push ups. I'm like, that's gotta be irritating for those

794
00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:28,400
Speaker 15: guys because I thought you had a good day.

795
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:30,360
Speaker 7: Is that one of the things that what was going

796
00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:30,760
Speaker 7: on there?

802
00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:43,440
Speaker 14: just part of.

803
00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:44,760
Speaker 5: You know, what everybody's buying into.

808
00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:56,600
Speaker 7: So you didn't you didn't quite feel like you got there.

818
00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:20,920
Speaker 13: But I mean, from the outside, it does seem like

819
00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:23,719
Speaker 13: this offense has a lot of places that it can go.

820
00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:26,840
Speaker 13: Just I mean, it feels like it's have a possibility

821
00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:30,120
Speaker 13: of being very multiple How complex? Does it feel like,

822

Speaker 5: New York guy.

853
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:48,520
Speaker 12: I mean, I'm not a New York.

854
00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:50,239
Speaker 13: Guy, but I mean New York style would get me.

855
00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:53,120
Speaker 12: But the thing that I've heard is that Chicago folks.

856
00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:55,040
Speaker 13: Don't even really be eating deep dish like that, Like

857
00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:56,279
Speaker 13: that's more of a tourist thing.

858
00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:57,680
Speaker 12: Anyways, who said that?

859
00:35:57,760 --> 00:36:01,960
Speaker 5: Yet this I could be wrong there.

860
00:36:02,080 --> 00:36:04,000
Speaker 14: I mean I am I consider the tourist now that I.

861
00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:07,719
Speaker 12: Would never say that to your face.

862
00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:12,799
Speaker 13: What's something about offensive line play that we on the

863
00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:14,840
Speaker 13: outside just don't get right in your perspective.

864
00:36:15,719 --> 00:36:17,839
Speaker 14: I mean a lot of people don't see the amount

865
00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:20,040
Speaker 14: of work that we put in the offensive lineman. I mean,

866
00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:22,960
Speaker 14: obviously what people see is what the work that we

867
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:25,239
Speaker 14: put in in games toward the season. But there's a

868
00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:27,440
Speaker 14: lot that goes into offensive line play, especially this day.

869
00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:30,000
Speaker 14: In offensive line, you know, guys are working year round

870
00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:32,600
Speaker 14: and it's a NonStop thing. And when you're thinking about

871
00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:35,040
Speaker 14: a craft, especially a young player in this day, day

872
00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:39,000
Speaker 14: and age, and offensive line you're working year round, and

873
00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:41,560
Speaker 14: you know, how fast can you develop your technique to

874
00:36:41,560 --> 00:36:43,600
Speaker 14: be an effective offensive lineman in the league where you

875
00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:46,040
Speaker 14: can service your team? You know, that's that's that's a

876
00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:48,840
Speaker 14: challenge right now for young offensive lineman. So a lot

877
00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:50,680
Speaker 14: of people don't really see that. But when we come

878
00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:52,239
Speaker 14: out there and we do our thing, they see that.

879
00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:53,239
Speaker 7: Yeah, you know what I'm saying.

880
00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:55,600
Speaker 15: Yeah, they see the production and they're also going to

881
00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:57,440
Speaker 15: see and this has been a big story c J.

882
00:36:57,560 --> 00:37:00,759
Speaker 15: Stroud saying, I want more control, more say things. We're

883
00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:03,480
Speaker 15: seeing it out on the field. How are you seeing

884
00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:05,360
Speaker 15: it from from where your perspective?

885
00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:06,960
Speaker 5: Fantastic young man.

886
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:09,040
Speaker 14: He's taking charge of our offense man and he's doing

887
00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:09,680
Speaker 14: this thing out there.

888
00:37:09,719 --> 00:37:11,080
Speaker 5: I love the way he talks to the guys.

889
00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:13,399
Speaker 14: You know, he comes up to everybody and talk to him,

890
00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:17,040
Speaker 14: has our little handshakes thing going on. Guys really appreciate

891
00:37:17,080 --> 00:37:18,799
Speaker 14: stuff like that. And when you have a young guy,

892
00:37:19,160 --> 00:37:21,799
Speaker 14: you know, a young young quarterback that can do that

893
00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:23,839
Speaker 14: with guys, connect with guys at the type of level,

894
00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:25,560
Speaker 14: it's fantastic for the offense.

895
00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:27,839
Speaker 7: How does he remember all the handshakes?

896
00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:31,680
Speaker 5: That's him a quarterback. I remember the place like twenty.

897
00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:34,879
Speaker 5: You like coming into places. We guys, Come on, he's

898
00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:37,759
Speaker 5: a quarterback. Now, come on, y'all got one as well? Yeah,

899
00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:40,200
Speaker 5: we got one? All right? I love that all right.

900
00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:43,080
Speaker 13: One of the things about this team is the defensive

901
00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:45,320
Speaker 13: line is incredible, right, especially you talk about.

902
00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:46,600
Speaker 5: The ends, Will and Neil.

903
00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:48,160
Speaker 13: There's a lot of things to be impressed about from

904
00:37:48,160 --> 00:37:50,839
Speaker 13: an offensive line perspective. What catches your attention the most?

905
00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:52,640
Speaker 13: What is the thing that you go damn when you

906
00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:53,719
Speaker 13: look at those guys work?

907
00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:56,000
Speaker 14: Obviously, you know, these guys are a very physical front,

908
00:37:56,080 --> 00:37:59,120
Speaker 14: you know, extremely talented, and this has been amazing working

909
00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:01,120
Speaker 14: with him so far, really good for us. You know,

910
00:38:01,200 --> 00:38:04,759
Speaker 14: having coach Miko has it saying iron sharp ands iron right.

911
00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:07,359
Speaker 14: So we have a defensive line that like that. We're

912
00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:09,680
Speaker 14: only gonna make each other better. So it's awesome to

913
00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:10,600
Speaker 14: have that in training camp.

914
00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:14,680
Speaker 7: Last thing for me anyway, culture is another catch phrase here.

915
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:16,239
Speaker 7: It seems to be very real.

916
00:38:16,440 --> 00:38:18,640
Speaker 15: Everywhere you've been as long as you've played, people always

917
00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:22,120
Speaker 15: talk about culture. Is it just more real in some

918
00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:23,840
Speaker 15: places than others?

919
00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:26,120
Speaker 14: It's definitely a real thing, man, And you know, I've

920
00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:29,120
Speaker 14: been places, you know where I get to experience great

921
00:38:29,120 --> 00:38:31,200
Speaker 14: culture and this is definitely one of them obviously.

922
00:38:31,360 --> 00:38:32,560
Speaker 5: You know, we coach Nico.

923
00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:35,719
Speaker 14: Satting the tempo, having the coaches in the building, the

924
00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:39,000
Speaker 14: staff in the building, down to you know, everybody. You know,

925
00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:42,120
Speaker 14: the culture here is amazing and guys feel it and

926
00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:44,120
Speaker 14: we're trying to express that on the field too.

927
00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:46,040
Speaker 13: Before we let you go, I know you're a video

928
00:38:46,160 --> 00:38:48,040
Speaker 13: game guy, but I think there's two types of video

929
00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:50,520
Speaker 13: game guys, right. I think there's like I play sports

930
00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:53,200
Speaker 13: games and I play like Eldon Ring and all those

931
00:38:53,239 --> 00:38:53,840
Speaker 13: types of games.

932
00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:55,480
Speaker 5: What kind of video game going?

933
00:38:55,520 --> 00:38:59,200
Speaker 14: Ah man, Okay, Okay, so I'm kind of a little bit.

934
00:38:59,239 --> 00:39:00,640
Speaker 5: I'm kind of a little bit all over the place.

935
00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:01,760

959
00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:02,640
Speaker 1: Maybe it's him, I don't know. We'll set it up

960
00:40:02,640 --> 00:40:04,200
Speaker 1: in the morning when we're back live.

961
00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:04,759
Speaker 4: Coming up.

962
00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:08,040
Speaker 1: A Mon Green stop by the broadcast position and we

963
00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:11,359
Speaker 1: talked with the former Texan and Green Bay packer. That's

964
00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:16,000
Speaker 1: next here on Texans Radio. Final Lap around the Track

965
00:40:16,040 --> 00:40:18,520
Speaker 1: and let's catch up with a Mon Green. He stopped

966
00:40:18,520 --> 00:40:21,840
Speaker 1: by the broadcast position at the Houston Methodist Training ceter

967
00:40:21,880 --> 00:40:24,680
Speaker 1: this morning during Texans Training Camp Live, and I asked

968
00:40:24,719 --> 00:40:26,400
Speaker 1: him if he missed this stuff.

969
00:40:26,600 --> 00:40:30,360
Speaker 17: You know, I'm one of very few players that misses

970
00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:33,799
Speaker 17: this because this was the part of training camp, the

971
00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:37,640
Speaker 17: first couple of days where you smell the grass, you

972
00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:39,920
Speaker 17: see the players walking in on the field.

973
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:41,520
Speaker 12: You can see who's in shape.

974
00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:44,680
Speaker 17: Who's not in shape, or who's ready for the whole

975
00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:48,520
Speaker 17: frame of reference to get changed. Because now they got us.

976
00:40:49,200 --> 00:40:51,719
Speaker 17: Jesus starts right, Sesson starts, they got us.

977
00:40:51,760 --> 00:40:52,359
Speaker 5: We're locked in.

978
00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:55,000
Speaker 17: We can't go no nowhere else other than our dorm

979
00:40:55,040 --> 00:40:58,080
Speaker 17: rooms or our apartments wherever we're living nearby, and come right

980
00:40:58,120 --> 00:41:00,000
Speaker 17: back here around six am and do it all over

981
00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:02,440
Speaker 17: again for about thirty straight days. So it was that.

982
00:41:02,560 --> 00:41:04,280
Speaker 5: So that's the part I miss it.

983
00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:06,920
Speaker 17: A lot because it was the camaraderie, you know, the

984
00:41:07,040 --> 00:41:09,080
Speaker 17: after the meetings or even some of the meetings. I

985
00:41:09,080 --> 00:41:11,919
Speaker 17: had coaches that would push me. Sylvestera Krumes in Green Bay.

986
00:41:12,239 --> 00:41:14,759
Speaker 17: We had Skip Hicks here. You know, God rest his soul.

987
00:41:14,840 --> 00:41:19,439
Speaker 17: So it's something where that being around moments like this

988
00:41:19,560 --> 00:41:21,880
Speaker 17: is why we were able, you know, to do the

989
00:41:21,920 --> 00:41:23,040
Speaker 17: things we do because this.

990
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:25,879
Speaker 5: Is at a high level. It's not for the faint

991
00:41:25,880 --> 00:41:26,239
Speaker 5: of heart.

992
00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:29,080
Speaker 17: You know, you gotta wake up early you gotta already

993
00:41:29,160 --> 00:41:31,640
Speaker 17: had your body there ready to go in shape. And

994
00:41:31,680 --> 00:41:33,840
Speaker 17: then mentally, now you got to start hitting up the

995
00:41:33,840 --> 00:41:37,560
Speaker 17: playbook your coaches in positions, if you're a quarterback, wide receiver,

996
00:41:37,640 --> 00:41:39,840
Speaker 17: tight end, whatever, you gotta start learning this stuff and

997
00:41:39,880 --> 00:41:41,279
Speaker 17: then working together at the same time.

998
00:41:41,480 --> 00:41:43,719
Speaker 1: So you had training camp at Green Bay for all

999
00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:46,680
Speaker 1: those years, and we were up there for joint practices

1000
00:41:46,760 --> 00:41:49,040
Speaker 1: a few years ago, and that was really nice being

1001
00:41:49,080 --> 00:41:51,840
Speaker 1: in Green Bay. So when you came here, you know, seven,

1002
00:41:52,080 --> 00:41:54,800
Speaker 1: what was the shock to the system, like doing training

1003
00:41:54,840 --> 00:41:56,959
Speaker 1: camp in this weather versus Green Bay.

1004
00:41:57,040 --> 00:41:59,440
Speaker 17: Oh No, it was a shock, But like a professional,

1005
00:41:59,480 --> 00:42:01,600
Speaker 17: I knew this was coming. So I was like, all right,

1006
00:42:01,640 --> 00:42:05,799
Speaker 17: a free agency. Houston, Texas is way hotter than Wisconsin

1007
00:42:05,880 --> 00:42:09,240
Speaker 17: any time of the year, and so I knew up front.

1008
00:42:09,280 --> 00:42:11,879
Speaker 17: So I got with the training staff and I would

1009
00:42:11,920 --> 00:42:15,680
Speaker 17: go basically go through a couple ivs. I say, in

1010
00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:19,480
Speaker 17: a two three week period, about five or six IV bags.

1011
00:42:19,520 --> 00:42:20,560
Speaker 7: Wow in Green Bay.

1012
00:42:21,680 --> 00:42:24,480
Speaker 17: Right, So what I started doing before training camp, I

1013
00:42:24,520 --> 00:42:26,720
Speaker 17: started fieling up, So that means I was dreaking gatorade

1014
00:42:26,719 --> 00:42:29,640
Speaker 17: and electro rights two and three weeks before training camp here.

1015
00:42:30,200 --> 00:42:32,440
Speaker 17: And so when I came here in training camp my

1016
00:42:32,480 --> 00:42:32,919
Speaker 17: first year.

1017
00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:35,480
Speaker 4: No cramp up dates, Oh wow.

1018
00:42:35,320 --> 00:42:36,680
Speaker 12: Because I got ahead of the curve.

1019
00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:37,759
Speaker 4: Oh okay, you know.

1020
00:42:37,880 --> 00:42:39,520
Speaker 17: And I thought in Green Bay I would be ahead

1021
00:42:39,520 --> 00:42:41,520
Speaker 17: of the curve because it was not humid sometimes but

1022
00:42:41,560 --> 00:42:43,359
Speaker 17: it was hot but not human but sometimes it would

1023
00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:45,239
Speaker 17: still get me. But I was like, look, I'm not

1024
00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:47,239
Speaker 17: cramping up at Texas. It's already hot as you know

1025
00:42:47,320 --> 00:42:49,320
Speaker 17: what out here, So let me get ahead of the

1026
00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:52,400
Speaker 17: eight ball of the I say, me being filled up

1027
00:42:52,400 --> 00:42:54,879
Speaker 17: with fluids and everything to make sure I'm not off

1028
00:42:54,880 --> 00:42:56,840
Speaker 17: the field cramping up and not in the playbook and

1029
00:42:56,880 --> 00:42:57,640
Speaker 17: not on the field.

1030
00:42:57,440 --> 00:42:58,040
Speaker 4: With my teammates.

1031
00:42:58,080 --> 00:43:00,160
Speaker 18: Well, somebody else who was talking about how they he

1032
00:43:00,280 --> 00:43:02,879
Speaker 18: is getting to them? Is Nick Chubb? Want to ask

1033
00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:07,000
Speaker 18: you about him? He got comfortable in Cleveland. I had

1034
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:09,239
Speaker 18: a chance to talk with Tyron Matthew about him. He

1035
00:43:09,360 --> 00:43:11,880
Speaker 18: played against him a couple of times when Tyron was

1036
00:43:11,880 --> 00:43:13,759
Speaker 18: with the Chiefs, and he said he was one of

1037
00:43:13,760 --> 00:43:17,640
Speaker 18: the hardest dudes to tackle. Andy's a brick wall all muscle.

1038
00:43:17,680 --> 00:43:19,000
Speaker 18: What does that mean to you with that position?

1039
00:43:19,880 --> 00:43:23,239
Speaker 17: That is how you want it, That's what you want

1040
00:43:23,280 --> 00:43:25,920
Speaker 17: at that position. I say, I got that description from

1041
00:43:26,120 --> 00:43:28,520
Speaker 17: some linebackers that I played against. You know, they would

1042
00:43:28,560 --> 00:43:30,600
Speaker 17: tell me, man, he you need to slow down. I said, no,

1043
00:43:30,680 --> 00:43:32,960
Speaker 17: it's my job. I gotta run fast and I gotta

1044
00:43:33,040 --> 00:43:35,719
Speaker 17: run through people. So with him being here, man, it's

1045
00:43:35,760 --> 00:43:38,839
Speaker 17: gonna be fun to watch, I know, mixing and he's down,

1046
00:43:38,880 --> 00:43:41,080
Speaker 17: but it's early in camp, so he gets the rest

1047
00:43:41,120 --> 00:43:43,800
Speaker 17: and chill and I say, probably harassed guys in the

1048
00:43:43,840 --> 00:43:45,680
Speaker 17: backfield to see if they know their plays and stuff.

1049
00:43:45,960 --> 00:43:47,600
Speaker 5: Give them a little mini quizzes. That's what I would

1050
00:43:47,640 --> 00:43:48,359
Speaker 5: do when I was hurt.

1051
00:43:48,560 --> 00:43:50,839
Speaker 17: I would give a players many quizzes, like see if

1052
00:43:50,840 --> 00:43:53,200
Speaker 17: they know the formation, the checks and the reeds, the

1053
00:43:53,239 --> 00:43:55,879
Speaker 17: blitz of pickups, stuff like that. So I hope he's

1054
00:43:55,880 --> 00:43:57,880
Speaker 17: doing that out there. With Nick being new to the

1055
00:43:58,600 --> 00:44:01,600
Speaker 17: playbook here, I don't know what Stefanski in Cleveland, what

1056
00:44:01,760 --> 00:44:04,240
Speaker 17: was his type of run style or I say offensive style.

1057
00:44:04,440 --> 00:44:06,239
Speaker 17: But here, I know Demico is kind of in the

1058
00:44:06,520 --> 00:44:10,319
Speaker 17: West coast area. So two Jet three Jet Fox two

1059
00:44:10,360 --> 00:44:13,160
Speaker 17: how to protections. It's something that he could help the

1060
00:44:13,480 --> 00:44:15,840
Speaker 17: you know, I say, Joe can help Chubb out with

1061
00:44:16,120 --> 00:44:18,120
Speaker 17: getting some of the reps in early and kind of

1062
00:44:18,120 --> 00:44:19,600
Speaker 17: be a little Jimmy Criking on his show.

1063
00:44:19,600 --> 00:44:21,040
Speaker 5: That just helping him out with the plays.

1064
00:44:20,719 --> 00:44:22,560
Speaker 1: And they are using a lot of those elements also,

1065
00:44:22,560 --> 00:44:25,160
Speaker 1: they're gonna work in some patriot like stuff, some just

1066
00:44:25,320 --> 00:44:28,440
Speaker 1: running downhill, some autonomy at the line for the quarterback.

1067
00:44:28,440 --> 00:44:31,040
Speaker 1: Am Green joining us when you came here to learn

1068
00:44:31,080 --> 00:44:34,160
Speaker 1: that Kubiak system versus whatever it was in Green Bay?

1069
00:44:34,280 --> 00:44:34,920
Speaker 4: Was it similar?

1070
00:44:34,960 --> 00:44:37,879
Speaker 1: Because yeah, Holmgren had this whole thing going on right

1071
00:44:37,960 --> 00:44:39,799
Speaker 1: with the West Coast offense as well.

1072
00:44:39,800 --> 00:44:40,600
Speaker 4: He was a disciple.

1073
00:44:40,719 --> 00:44:42,279
Speaker 12: Yeah, so you know, it was the same because my

1074
00:44:42,360 --> 00:44:43,000
Speaker 12: Sherman was here.

1075
00:44:43,040 --> 00:44:45,040
Speaker 17: He was the OC back then if you remember that,

1076
00:44:45,120 --> 00:44:47,160
Speaker 17: and so Mike Sherman was my head coach in Green

1077
00:44:47,200 --> 00:44:48,919
Speaker 17: Bay for a couple of years I was in Green Bay.

1078
00:44:49,080 --> 00:44:51,399
Speaker 17: So that was one of the reasons, like, I'm gonna

1079
00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:53,440
Speaker 17: come here because I know one person that's gonna be

1080
00:44:53,440 --> 00:44:56,399
Speaker 17: calling the plays with Gary and so helping that helped

1081
00:44:56,400 --> 00:44:58,040
Speaker 17: out a lot. So it wasn't much I had to

1082
00:44:58,120 --> 00:45:00,520
Speaker 17: learn from that standpoint. It was just getting introduced to

1083
00:45:00,600 --> 00:45:02,799
Speaker 17: the city and then my teammates Heer and the new.

1084
00:45:02,719 --> 00:45:06,000
Speaker 18: Coaches that I had with the offense with Nick Kaylee

1085
00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:08,360
Speaker 18: now coming in running things a little bit differently. Putting

1086
00:45:08,360 --> 00:45:11,399
Speaker 18: more on CJ. Stroud's plate, how much does that take

1087
00:45:11,440 --> 00:45:14,440
Speaker 18: the weight off the rest of the offenses specifically too,

1088
00:45:14,520 --> 00:45:16,520
Speaker 18: you can speak to the running backs what they're going

1089
00:45:16,600 --> 00:45:18,600
Speaker 18: to be able to do with CJ kind of calling

1090
00:45:18,640 --> 00:45:19,080
Speaker 18: things out.

1091
00:45:19,239 --> 00:45:22,239
Speaker 17: Yeah, I'll say it complements each other. So when you

1092
00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:24,880
Speaker 17: have a pass game that's hitting, you know, you saw.

1093
00:45:24,719 --> 00:45:27,280
Speaker 12: First year what CJ did his rookie year, Rookie.

1094
00:45:27,080 --> 00:45:27,520
Speaker 7: Of the year.

1095
00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:31,160
Speaker 17: When that is happening like that, then everything else kind

1096
00:45:31,160 --> 00:45:34,799
Speaker 17: of just grows and it's able to thrive. The run game,

1097
00:45:35,120 --> 00:45:38,319
Speaker 17: screen game, or po game. The biggest thing that an

1098
00:45:38,320 --> 00:45:41,800
Speaker 17: offensive coordinator wants to do is keep the defense honest.

1099
00:45:42,400 --> 00:45:45,799
Speaker 17: Like they want to disguise coverage, we're gonna and so offensively,

1100
00:45:45,960 --> 00:45:48,640
Speaker 17: if you want to decide the disguise a coverage and

1101
00:45:48,640 --> 00:45:51,359
Speaker 17: then run that against us, we're gonna we're gonna make

1102
00:45:51,400 --> 00:45:53,480
Speaker 17: you fail because then we're gonna find out, Okay, he

1103
00:45:53,560 --> 00:45:55,400
Speaker 17: was trying to run man, but it was covered three

1104
00:45:55,600 --> 00:45:58,520
Speaker 17: and it broke. So now we're gonna keep breaking their coverages.

1105
00:45:58,600 --> 00:46:00,520
Speaker 17: So that's the I say, that's the job. Often as

1106
00:46:00,520 --> 00:46:02,719
Speaker 17: a coordinator, they figure that out where the weakness are,

1107
00:46:02,760 --> 00:46:05,440
Speaker 17: Where is the weak point to make sure when any

1108
00:46:05,560 --> 00:46:07,799
Speaker 17: run plays, any pass plays can be effective when they're

1109
00:46:07,840 --> 00:46:08,479
Speaker 17: out there on the field.

1110
00:46:08,520 --> 00:46:10,120
Speaker 5: I think it helps too. He's such a young guy.

1111
00:46:10,160 --> 00:46:12,640
Speaker 18: They keep talking about the energy and how he's running

1112
00:46:12,680 --> 00:46:18,480
Speaker 18: around with a younger offense, right, I mean, I think CJ.

1113
00:46:18,600 --> 00:46:21,239
Speaker 18: Stroud and some of the younger wide receivers have talked

1114
00:46:21,239 --> 00:46:23,560
Speaker 18: about how much that's brought juice in life for them,

1115
00:46:23,640 --> 00:46:24,279
Speaker 18: right yeah.

1116
00:46:24,360 --> 00:46:26,960
Speaker 17: I mean, so CJ is in his third year already,

1117
00:46:26,960 --> 00:46:30,319
Speaker 17: which is amazing and for any player around that time

1118
00:46:30,440 --> 00:46:33,759
Speaker 17: or older six ye or seven, eight years. For me too,

1119
00:46:33,880 --> 00:46:36,520
Speaker 17: it was like early part of camp was like this

1120
00:46:36,640 --> 00:46:38,840
Speaker 17: for the rookies is kind of slower pace, and I'm like,

1121
00:46:39,160 --> 00:46:41,400
Speaker 17: I'm bored, Like give me something to do, right, And

1122
00:46:41,520 --> 00:46:43,160
Speaker 17: so by the time I got here it was that

1123
00:46:43,160 --> 00:46:45,279
Speaker 17: same mentality. But so when you have some realty come

1124
00:46:45,360 --> 00:46:47,600
Speaker 17: bight and kind of give the I say, the practice

1125
00:46:47,600 --> 00:46:50,560
Speaker 17: field and injection of energy, that's good because then now

1126
00:46:50,840 --> 00:46:52,240
Speaker 17: you're focusing a little bit tighter.

1127
00:46:52,600 --> 00:46:56,040
Speaker 1: There's our visit with a Mon Green and more Texans
