00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,719
Speaker 1: Hello Texans, Welcome to the program here on the Hundai

2
00:00:02,800 --> 00:00:06,440
Speaker 1: Texans Radio studio where I am trapped currently because the

3
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:08,800
Speaker 1: Taylor Swift concert is about to start and I have

4
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:10,960
Speaker 1: not gotten out of the building yet, So pray for me.

5
00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:14,080
Speaker 1: But maybe I should just sneak down the hall, Johnny.

6
00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:16,440
Speaker 1: What if Taylor Swift John Harris with us, by the way,

7
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:19,400
Speaker 1: of course, good evening everyone. What if Taylor Swift sees

8
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:22,120
Speaker 1: me and says, do you play guitar? And I'll say, yes,

9
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:25,000
Speaker 1: I do, and I'll end up on stage with her.

10
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:27,520
Speaker 1: But here's the problem. I won't know any of her

11
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:30,520
Speaker 1: songs like I could play even if it was Joni Mitchell,

12
00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:33,440
Speaker 1: if it was Carly Simon, I could probably fake my

13
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:36,160
Speaker 1: way through yours. So vain, I don't know any Taylor

14
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:38,320
Speaker 1: Swift stuff. I can't do. Shake it off. Maybe I

15
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:39,280
Speaker 1: could fake my way through that.

16
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:39,800
Speaker 2: I don't know.

17
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:41,280
Speaker 1: What are your thoughts?

18
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:43,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think you could probably do that. But you

19
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 3: don't turn down the opportunity, now, you know. I mean

20
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:49,720
Speaker 3: you jump at the opportunity and maybe you just say

21
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 3: to her, hey, give me a chord to play or

22
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:53,560
Speaker 3: give me something, But yeah, you don't.

23
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 2: You don't turn that away. Yeah, kidd me.

24
00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 3: I mean I would come up with some sort of

25
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 3: draft comparison, but I'm.

26
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 2: No, I won't know. You you you, you.

27
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 3: Absolutely, without a shadow of a doubt, would do that.

28
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 3: And whatever you would need from me to be able

29
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:12,480
Speaker 3: to make sure you could do that, I would do

30
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 3: because I think that would be really, really cool. I

31
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:17,560
Speaker 3: heard this the other day, Mark. I don't know if

32
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 3: this is true, but I have a feeling it is.

33
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:25,559
Speaker 3: That tickets Now NRGY holds how many when it comes

34
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 3: to that concert? I don't know, because can they do

35
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:28,760
Speaker 3: they count the people on the floor today?

36
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 2: Are people on the floor?

37
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:31,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's people the top?

38
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 3: Like, I don't know how you count it, but right,

39
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:35,479
Speaker 3: let's say it just seventy five thousand people.

40
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:35,760
Speaker 1: Yep.

41
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 3: Three nights. I've heard that the cheapest ticket is six

42
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 3: hundred and fifty bucks.

43
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 2: Yep.

44
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 1: Crazy, that's unbelievable. That's why I asked the general. This

45
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 1: is like a super Bowl of concerts, right, you have

46
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 1: three nights in a football stadium with this performer. I

47
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 1: asked the general his you know, big time concerts that

48
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 1: he's been to. He said, Led Zeppelin. Now I'm old

49
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 1: enough to say that Led Zeppelin was my first ever concert.

50
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 1: I was thirteen years old, nineteen seventy seven, Madison Square

51
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 1: Garden Opening Night. I had to have opening Night. I

52
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,359
Speaker 1: got it, and I was as zep freak as a kid.

53
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:12,520
Speaker 1: They did six nights at Madison Square Garden, which at

54
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:16,400
Speaker 1: the time was ridiculously a lot, right, But here you

55
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:20,920
Speaker 1: have Taylor Swift doing three nights at a football stadium.

56
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 1: It's huge and good for her being able to get

57
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:25,679
Speaker 1: this kind of crowd. I know Insurance coming in. I

58
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:30,079
Speaker 1: think Beyonce as well. But look, my biggest act here

59
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 1: is Texans football. Baby September. Here we go and it's

60
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:39,239
Speaker 1: draft night on Thursday, Johnny. We're inside a week to go.

61
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 1: One week from tonight, we'll be in rounds two and three.

62
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 1: It's gonna be awesome. Right now, we'll be in a

63
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 1: round two one week from tonight. I am so excited

64
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 1: about this, and I thought, tonight, Johnny, since it's Friday,

65
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 1: been a lot of talk, a lot of mock drafts,

66
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 1: let's just kind of settle down here. Let's quiet the

67
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 1: noise a little bit. Let's talk about some of the

68
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:00,800
Speaker 1: things they need to get a cop There's been so

69
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:05,640
Speaker 1: much talk, so much handwringing about the quarterback position, and

70
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 1: I'm doing a lot of it myself. It's an important position.

71
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:13,640
Speaker 1: We all know that it's the most important position, but

72
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,360
Speaker 1: there are other positions as well. And one of the

73
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:19,080
Speaker 1: things that's floating around out there, and it's a fan

74
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 1: media kind of thing, would the Texans possibly take Bijon

75
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 1: Robinson if he's there at twelve. He could go before that.

76
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 1: He could go to the Lions, he could go to

77
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 1: the Eagles, he could go before that. But what if

78
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 1: he's there, Johnny, you already have Damian Pierce who just

79
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 1: signed Devin Singletary. Is he too good a football player

80
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 1: to pass up at twelve if he's available right there.

81
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 2: I've thought about this one for a while.

82
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 3: When when draft season really, you know, hit kind of

83
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 3: February ish, I'm trying to remember when that was. But

84
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 3: I went into studio sports AREO six ' ten. I

85
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 3: can't remember you were out for some reason.

86
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 2: That was just me.

87
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 3: So I went into studio and I just decided to

88
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,080
Speaker 3: I'm gonna take calls. It's probably the best way to

89
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 3: do this show. As I was walking in ron the show,

90
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 3: Hugly and Clinch Sturn were walking out and shows saw

91
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 3: me and he was like, hey, I wanted to I

92
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 3: wanted to see your thoughts. And I was like, okay,

93
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 3: and they're like Bjon Robinson at twelve.

94
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 2: And as soon.

95
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:21,159
Speaker 3: I mean, I have I've thought about as much about

96
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 3: everything as I possibly could. And I said, Ron, here's

97
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 3: the only here's the only reason I wouldn't do it.

98
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 3: And it's not because you have Damian Pierce. I think

99
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 3: it's because at that position, at that spot, when you

100
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 3: think about what could be available versus what's available later,

101
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:44,720
Speaker 3: I think there's depth in the running back class that

102
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 3: you can get a little bit down the road. It's

103
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 3: not gonna be So let's say Bjon's to ten and say,

104
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 3: I don't know tij Spears is an eight eight and

105
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 3: a half. You can get him, I think a little

106
00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:00,920
Speaker 3: bit later, But I don't think you can get an

107
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,839
Speaker 3: eight and a half the equivalent of an edge later on.

108
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 3: I think there are some good players, but I don't

109
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:09,480
Speaker 3: know if there's one say as good as Taija Spears,

110
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 3: and teams are just gonna kind of push down running backs.

111
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 3: But here's one thing that I when I went back

112
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:20,040
Speaker 3: and I looked at the NFL rushing stats. Now, this

113
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:23,600
Speaker 3: is just the easy stat It's not like DBOA or

114
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 3: anything like that. This is just peer rushing yards. But

115
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 3: I think the comparison is something to think about. Back

116
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 3: in twenty twenty one, there were nine running backs that

117
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:36,600
Speaker 3: ran for over a thousand yards.

118
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 2: Nine.

119
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 3: Had Damien finished the year, there would have been eighteen in.

120
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 2: Twenty twenty two.

121
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 1: Yep.

122
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 3: And the reason I used twenty twenty one is the

123
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 3: comparison obviously the year before, but it's also a seventeen

124
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:54,840
Speaker 3: game season, so you went from nine to eighteen, so

125
00:05:55,400 --> 00:06:02,479
Speaker 3: you're seeing the offense's adjustment to big nickel dime. You're

126
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 3: gonna play light in the box. You're gonna play light linebackers.

127
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 3: We're gonna hit you at the run game. And I'm

128
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,919
Speaker 3: not gonna say that everything goes and verts back to

129
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:15,800
Speaker 3: nineteen seventies football because the rules do still allow for

130
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:20,160
Speaker 3: the passing game, whereas prior to nineteen seventy eight they didn't.

131
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 3: It was just a mall session. That isn't gonna happen.

132
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:25,159
Speaker 3: You're not gonna get away with that. So you're never

133
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:27,280
Speaker 3: gonna get back to that sort of thing. You're never

134
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:29,359
Speaker 3: gonna get back to two thousand and five, we have

135
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 3: three running backs in the first round. But I do

136
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:34,840
Speaker 3: think there is going to continue to be an increased

137
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 3: emphasis on how do we get that position of football,

138
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:41,279
Speaker 3: be it running or throwing. And if there is one

139
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:44,360
Speaker 3: guy that is able to do that, it's Bjon Robinson.

140
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:48,040
Speaker 3: So could I see you know everybody talks about wide receiver.

141
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 3: If you don't draft the wide receiver at twelve, best

142
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 3: case he's catching eighty passes, right, best case b Sehn's

143
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 3: catching fifty five to sixty and many.

144
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:01,160
Speaker 2: To give you and giving you twelve hundred yards rushing.

145
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:03,160
Speaker 1: Wow, Wow, that's a lot.

146
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 2: I mean if he's that guy.

147
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 3: So even if he's forty five to fifty nine hundred

148
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 3: yards russing rushing, do you get more value out of

149
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 3: b Jeon Robinson then you woulded a wide receiver right there.

150
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:18,680
Speaker 3: The more I think about it, the more I'm like, hmm, yeah,

151
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 3: maybe I do, and yes I want to. Oh, you

152
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:23,679
Speaker 3: don't drop the running back at first round. That's always

153
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:25,200
Speaker 3: been my thing. You don't draft the running back because

154
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:26,480
Speaker 3: there is definitely value later.

155
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 2: This is Bjeon. I mean, Mark asked me my ask

156
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 2: me my top two in the Harris one.

157
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 1: Hundred, Top two in the Harris one hundred.

158
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 2: Go Bryce Young, b Jeon Robinson.

159
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 1: All right, tell me this about Robinson coming into the draft.

160
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 1: Saquon Barkley, Bjeon Robinson higher rated prospect.

161
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 3: Bijeon wow Jons, Saquon Barkie come into the league. They

162
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 3: have the same you know, all those things I talked about,

163
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 3: Billy ketchball a the backfield, you know, could pick up

164
00:07:56,480 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 3: nine hundred yards, twelve hundred yards. Bjeon's a much more

165
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 3: consistent runner picking.

166
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:05,200
Speaker 2: Up positive yards. And Saquon was.

167
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 3: Saquon was like yard to lost lost eighty yards. Bjon

168
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 3: is gonna be five seven five twelve eighty five. He

169
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:20,040
Speaker 3: is very He is a positive yardage monster. Saquon came

170
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 3: into the league and he was more the highlight reels.

171
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 3: He was gonna make that highlight reel run, but he

172
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 3: would struggle getting the five to seven yard runs that

173
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:34,320
Speaker 3: Bejon Robinson picks up regularly. And I think Bjeon Robbins

174
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 3: not say a Saquon isn't. I think Bejon Robinson is

175
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 3: a tough dude. I guarantee you in that Texas game,

176
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 3: sorry Alabama game, of course, it's Texas game.

177
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:46,160
Speaker 2: In the Alabama game, he hurt his shoulder. I'm almost I'm.

178
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:48,600
Speaker 3: One thousand percent positive because he went into the game

179
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 3: and at one point he went out and I remember

180
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 3: him kind of going off and it looked like he

181
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 3: was a little not right. And when he came back

182
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:59,120
Speaker 3: on he had that black KT tape on his shoulder. Yeah,

183
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 3: and you could tell he wasn't right, and yet he

184
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:02,840
Speaker 3: gutted out that game. He cut it out the rest

185
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:05,160
Speaker 3: of the year. He is like Sakuan that he is

186
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:09,920
Speaker 3: pristine off the field, tremendous character. He would be our

187
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 3: kind of guy. I don't think there's any question. And

188
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 3: you put him with Damian Pierce. And here's the other thing, Mark,

189
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 3: you can put him with Damian Pierce in the game

190
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:19,320
Speaker 3: at the same time.

191
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 4: Ooh.

192
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 3: And that I've always said is I think really really

193
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 3: important and very very cool. And if there was a

194
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:28,719
Speaker 3: team that found a way to put a couple of

195
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 3: ballcarriers in the backfield last few years, it's the San

196
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 3: Francisco forty nine ers, right, And so hopefully Bobby slowk

197
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:36,720
Speaker 3: learned a few things and you could play a couple

198
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 3: of your best weapons at the same time.

199
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 1: Okay, Another question that's been on my mind. Jackson Smith

200
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:46,560
Speaker 1: and Jigbub hurt last year. Business decision or not. That's

201
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:51,560
Speaker 1: irrelevant to this particular question because we talk about players

202
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 1: like Tyree Wilson got hurt last year, didn't finish the season.

203
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 1: Some people are holding that against him. Derek Stingley Junior,

204
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 1: some people held that against him. Texans picked him anyway.

205
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 1: Obviously got hurt, But I don't know if that's related

206
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 1: or not. It happened, though. Are not enough people making

207
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 1: a big deal about Jackson Smith and Jigba's injury situation

208
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:15,560
Speaker 1: last year? It seems like everyone's just overlooking it and oh,

209
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:17,440
Speaker 1: you got to take this guy if he's there at twelve.

210
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:21,680
Speaker 1: So many mock drafters say that your thoughts.

211
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's interesting, thumb Mark.

212
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:26,439
Speaker 3: I hadn't gone in that direction yet, but I do

213
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 3: think it's been brought up in draft rooms for sure.

214
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 3: I don't question that for a second. I think he's

215
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 3: probably been pushed on it. He has probably had the

216
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:40,360
Speaker 3: answer for it. He's probably had that, you know answer.

217
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:42,559
Speaker 3: I mean, how many here were thirty visits he made,

218
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:44,079
Speaker 3: how many have interviews you did to combine?

219
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:46,719
Speaker 2: I'm sure he had to to discuss that.

220
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 3: I think when you you talk about injuries, you know

221
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:55,320
Speaker 3: a guy has one, I don't know guy has two. Okay,

222
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:57,839
Speaker 3: now he's injury prone, especially when it's two and four years.

223
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 3: So you're right, it probably should be brought up. But

224
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 3: I think once it's done a couple of times, then

225
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 3: you're kind of like, you know, Tija Spears is one

226
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 3: of my favorites. He had two ACL two ACL injuries

227
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 3: at Tulane, missed two years, had two season ning injuries

228
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:19,360
Speaker 3: at Tulane. So you know, even that guy who I love,

229
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:23,200
Speaker 3: you'd have to kick the tires medically big time.

230
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:26,840
Speaker 2: And it's the one area Mark and I sometimes.

231
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 3: Within Jigba, Smith and jig but it's you know, you

232
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 3: can pinpoint, Okay, he missed the whole year. He didn't

233
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 3: you know, he didn't play. But with injuries, it's always

234
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:39,040
Speaker 3: mysterious in some sense. I think the worry about Tyree

235
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 3: is that because we haven't seen him do anything athletically

236
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 3: since the injury, it's still kind of a concern like, Okay, well,

237
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:50,559
Speaker 3: when is he going to be ready?

238
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:52,680
Speaker 2: When can we see him do some things?

239
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 3: Smith and Jigba came back worked out Sting was able

240
00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:58,360
Speaker 3: to do a workout late in the process, but he

241
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 3: was able to do a workout, and so I think

242
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 3: that allayed some fears. But I think with Tyrene, when

243
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 3: you have that injury that lingers, not lingers, but but

244
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:11,839
Speaker 3: hasn't been cleared yet and you've had multiple ones, I

245
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:14,920
Speaker 3: think that's when the questions really start. I think seeing

246
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 3: Jackson Smith a jig at the combine and going, Okay,

247
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:21,960
Speaker 3: that looks like the guy we saw hopefully that injuries.

248
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 2: In the rear view mirror with Derek Stingley.

249
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 3: I think if we had seen staying at the combine

250
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 3: last year where everybody could have seen that workout, I

251
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:32,599
Speaker 3: think everybody would have probably maybe not gone to the

252
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:34,800
Speaker 3: Jackson Smith and Jig belove, but I think people would

253
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 3: have been, yeah, all right, he looks physically like I

254
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 3: remember him.

255
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:42,079
Speaker 1: All right. Let me ask you this now, and I'm

256
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:44,840
Speaker 1: going to go in no particular order here with draft questions.

257
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:47,760
Speaker 1: That was one of them that I had. What's the

258
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 1: first trade? What's the first slot to get traded on Thursday?

259
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:56,199
Speaker 1: Maybe it happens before Thursday, who knows, but what's and

260
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:58,280
Speaker 1: I know, yeah, pre draft trades, we get it. But

261
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:02,439
Speaker 1: there's a difference between something that would happen today and

262
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 1: something that happens on draft night. Even when does the

263
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:08,840
Speaker 1: window open on a draft night? Trade in your mind

264
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:12,679
Speaker 1: that day a half hour before? You can answer that,

265
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:15,679
Speaker 1: but also answer this, what's the first slot to go?

266
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 1: Whenever that window opens? Is it Arizona? Is it the Seahawks?

267
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:23,440
Speaker 1: Who's going to make the move first to drop down

268
00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:25,760
Speaker 1: or maybe even move up? Well, obviously if one of

269
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:27,720
Speaker 1: those teams is dropping down, somebody's moving.

270
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:32,040
Speaker 2: Up, you tell me, I think it very easily could

271
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:33,439
Speaker 2: be us at two.

272
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:34,080
Speaker 1: Ooh.

273
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:38,400
Speaker 3: Here's what's interesting to me, And this is I've thought

274
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:43,800
Speaker 3: about this on you know, you've got ten minutes. Ten

275
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:45,960
Speaker 3: minutes you can have a substantive discussion. I don't think

276
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 3: there's any question. But how often do substantive discussions happen?

277
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 3: And then it's kind of an if then like, hey,

278
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:56,920
Speaker 3: if our guy is there, we're not going to do this,

279
00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 3: or we are going to do this. So so you know,

280
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:04,680
Speaker 3: if for some reason there's upset at one the Panthers

281
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 3: take somebody other than Bryce Young, have the Texans said okay, look,

282
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 3: if Bryce Young goes or is not there, we'll do

283
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:14,440
Speaker 3: a deal. But all of a sudden, Bryce Young is there,

284
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:18,319
Speaker 3: so hey, no deal. I don't know if that you know,

285
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 3: something like that could happen. I think that the chalk

286
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 3: would be Arizona at three. That Arizona's talked about moving

287
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:28,720
Speaker 3: out the entire time. And when you look at Arizona's rosters,

288
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:32,200
Speaker 3: no JJ Watt, there's no Zach Allen, DeAndre Hopkins potentially

289
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 3: traded Budda Baker asked for a trade the other day.

290
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 3: Arizona needs bodies, they need elite players. That thing turned

291
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:44,760
Speaker 3: over quickly. They went from being like seven oh eight

292
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:47,480
Speaker 3: no into twenty twenty one, and all of a sudden,

293
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:50,480
Speaker 3: Holy smokes, they're trading number three overall pick because they

294
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:54,760
Speaker 3: need players, they need depth. I think that's absolutely in play.

295
00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:59,520
Speaker 3: My gut tells me that two will stay. I'd love

296
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:02,600
Speaker 3: to be able to trade back. It's just finding that

297
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 3: trade partner that will sit there and say, hey, we

298
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 3: want this particular player, or let's say it's a quarterback.

299
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:13,440
Speaker 3: And if they're discussing with the Texans, then they have

300
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:16,560
Speaker 3: to in some sense, like you've said many times, they

301
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 3: have to question themselves. Wait a second, if they're willing

302
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 3: to trade with us, what is it that they know

303
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:25,920
Speaker 3: and does that then have a team backing off of

304
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:26,440
Speaker 3: that trade?

305
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:29,880
Speaker 2: So you know that. So I think two could be

306
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 2: at least at three.

307
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:35,240
Speaker 3: You know, Arizona's not taking a quarterback, so I think

308
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:36,840
Speaker 3: you could get a trade done with three.

309
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:38,560
Speaker 2: I think the first spot is Arizona.

310
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 3: Who that is, whether it's Las Vegas because they have

311
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:43,920
Speaker 3: former Patriots guys in the building. I could see that

312
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:46,120
Speaker 3: it could be a lot of teams with Arizona at

313
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:48,840
Speaker 3: that point. Moving up, it could be the Vikings. I

314
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 3: had the Vikings in one of my mocks trading up.

315
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:53,880
Speaker 3: I've seen the Vikings trading up a lot. There's been

316
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 3: a lot of smoke around the Vikings and quarterback. Yeah,

317
00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:58,800
Speaker 3: so I wouldn't be surprised if the Vikings do something

318
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:01,880
Speaker 3: on Draft night. Maybe we're at twenty three or twenty

319
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 3: two wherever they are to three, but maybe they get

320
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 3: to number seven. You know, the Cardinals do the twice

321
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:10,360
Speaker 3: moved out thing. They move to seven, then they move

322
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:12,800
Speaker 3: to twenty one. I mean, you know, who knows. But

323
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:15,240
Speaker 3: I think the Vikings somehow get in this because I

324
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:17,680
Speaker 3: don't think Kevin O'Connell is all that that hot on

325
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:19,720
Speaker 3: kirk Cousins. And know, by the way, if kirk Cousins

326
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:23,600
Speaker 3: is for sale, what about the San Francisco forty nine ers.

327
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:26,800
Speaker 1: Ooh with brock perty still on the end.

328
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:30,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, they they know kirk Cousins pretty well. Yeah they

329
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:33,640
Speaker 2: is in Washington. I don't know they do.

330
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 1: Okay, what about quarterback? Let's bring it up. Who's gonna

331
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:42,960
Speaker 1: fall the most among the top five qbs? Who drops

332
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:47,640
Speaker 1: the most in your estimation? Because I have an opinion

333
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:49,560
Speaker 1: on this and it might not. I don't think it's

334
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:51,640
Speaker 1: a hot take. But I'm gonna tell you who it is.

335
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 1: It's Richardson. To me, I think teams are gonna look

336
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:57,480
Speaker 1: at Hooker and say, you know what, I'll wait it out.

337
00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:00,120
Speaker 1: There are enough teams out there who can win. Wait

338
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:03,200
Speaker 1: a minute until they start Hooker. They can wait a

339
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:05,080
Speaker 1: few weeks or whatever it's going to take for that

340
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:09,480
Speaker 1: need to be proven steady. And Richardson is a big

341
00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:12,400
Speaker 1: wild card. Sure he could be all that. He could

342
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:14,480
Speaker 1: be Lamar Jackson and Cam Newton had a baby, like

343
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:17,520
Speaker 1: I said, but he could also be it's not working

344
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:20,600
Speaker 1: out the way we thought. He's a little shaky, throws picks.

345
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 1: You know who knows how it goes. They could all

346
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:24,880
Speaker 1: be like that, but I got a feeling it's gonna

347
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:28,560
Speaker 1: be Richardson who drops. I could be wrong. What are

348
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:29,159
Speaker 1: your thoughts?

349
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:30,400
Speaker 2: Interesting?

350
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:30,640
Speaker 5: Now?

351
00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:34,760
Speaker 3: When do you say drop in relative? You know, relative

352
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:38,879
Speaker 3: to their you know initial you know thought right? You

353
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:41,080
Speaker 3: know there's been a lot made about anthrow Richardson get

354
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:42,640
Speaker 3: a top four. I mean I've got him at twenty

355
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:44,320
Speaker 3: five in my Paris two hundred.

356
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:46,480
Speaker 1: Now that's a drop to me. If he goes twenty

357
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:49,520
Speaker 1: fifth and drop, You're right, what's the context? It's the

358
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:53,720
Speaker 1: media pundit context. It's not you know, you evaluate these guys,

359
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:55,840
Speaker 1: you have your board and everything, but a lot of

360
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:58,760
Speaker 1: us are just taking shots at this stuff. Johnny, the

361
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:01,480
Speaker 1: old fashioned way, shooting from the hip.

362
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:05,680
Speaker 3: I think I think there's a chance that that CJ

363
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:10,560
Speaker 3: drops a little bit, because you know, look, if the

364
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:14,040
Speaker 3: Texans don't take CJ at two, you know, maybe all

365
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:15,639
Speaker 3: of a sudden, you know, it ends up. You know,

366
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:17,399
Speaker 3: we've seen some crazy things in the draft. Do you

367
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:20,200
Speaker 3: remember the Laramie tunsl There's this video and all of

368
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:22,040
Speaker 3: a sudden it's like, well, I'm not taking him, you

369
00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:23,719
Speaker 3: take him. No, we're not taking him, you're taking him.

370
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:25,760
Speaker 3: I'm not taking him. You take them, and all of

371
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:28,159
Speaker 3: a sudden, Laramie falls at number thirteen or whatever the

372
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:30,760
Speaker 3: pick was in the Miami Dolphins. Can you imagine sitting

373
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:33,639
Speaker 3: there at twelve and all of a sudden CJ. Stroud

374
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:37,120
Speaker 3: falls into your lap at twelve? I mean, I don't

375
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:41,880
Speaker 3: think that could happen, especially with Tennessee Atlanta at eight,

376
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:45,720
Speaker 3: Las Vegas at seven, which apparently is where he said

377
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:49,320
Speaker 3: he he's wanted to go because he loves Devonte Adams.

378
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:53,000
Speaker 3: So if he were to fall to twelve, my goodness,

379
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:54,960
Speaker 3: I think you know what to answer your question.

380
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:56,640
Speaker 2: Mark, Here's why I'm gonna answer your question.

381
00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:03,520
Speaker 1: Yep, all of them, all of them, nor except Force.

382
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:05,120
Speaker 2: I think Bryce goes one.

383
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 3: And I do think that there ends up being this

384
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:11,880
Speaker 3: is this is one of my bold predictions, that there

385
00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 3: ends up being this sort of we.

386
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:15,720
Speaker 2: Don't want them, you take them.

387
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:17,760
Speaker 3: Well, no, we don't want them, you take them, And

388
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:19,880
Speaker 3: all of a sudden it just gets past and people

389
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 3: are sticking with their picks and it has kind of

390
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:24,760
Speaker 3: a draft day sort of thing and bocal hands available

391
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:25,399
Speaker 3: at the seventh.

392
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:27,000
Speaker 5: Bo.

393
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:29,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it happens to all of them, I

394
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 3: think shroud Richardson Levis, there's there's a part, there's a

395
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:37,680
Speaker 3: part of me that thinks they're all gonna fall in

396
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:39,720
Speaker 3: some way, shape or form. You know.

397
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:41,840
Speaker 2: I I had a draft, a mock drafted with them

398
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:42,880
Speaker 2: going one, two, three, four.

399
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:47,040
Speaker 3: I'm now thinking that I think there's a potential for

400
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:50,879
Speaker 3: three of them to go in the top twelve, MM

401
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:53,879
Speaker 3: four and a top four Johnny, So.

402
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:55,760
Speaker 2: Take that as falling or not. I think that's the

403
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:56,400
Speaker 2: way I would.

404
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:59,200

Speaker 3: The only the only, the only payment, if you will

428
00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:11,280

429
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:13,240
Speaker 3: page and simon, you know, follow me on Twitter.

430
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:13,520
Speaker 2: That's it.

431
00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:15,840

00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:19,359
Speaker 3: three hundred pages of goodness and research, uh for your uh,

433
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:21,480
Speaker 3: for your draft love if that's the way to look at.

434
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 1: It, all right. I was thrown this question because we've

435
00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:27,880
Speaker 1: brought up other draft prognosticators. I shouldn't say other, because

436
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:30,720
Speaker 1: you're not really a prognosticator. You're an evaluator. Is that

437
00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:33,040
Speaker 1: a good way to put it. You're an evaluator and

438
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:36,920
Speaker 1: it's infotainment, it is. But tell me this, because I

439
00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:39,879
Speaker 1: brought up other guys who follow the draft heavily and

440
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:42,879
Speaker 1: sometimes you've eye rolled to the point where the eyeballs

441
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:46,320
Speaker 1: are doing three sixties, they're doing flips, and they're going

442
00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:49,160
Speaker 1: in different directions and everything. I've seen some eye rolls

443
00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:52,200
Speaker 1: from you when I bring up other names like Mel

444
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:54,399
Speaker 1: Kiper or people like that. Not that you're taking shots

445
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:56,960
Speaker 1: at Mel, but Johnny, it was asked of me, who

446
00:21:57,040 --> 00:21:59,080
Speaker 1: do you like? Who do you respect?

447
00:21:59,240 --> 00:21:59,640
Speaker 2: Out there?

448
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:04,160
Speaker 1: As a draft evaluator? There must be somebody who meets

449
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:05,000
Speaker 1: with your approval.

450
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:07,960
Speaker 3: You know, Lance Aer and Lance Airline and I have

451
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:10,600
Speaker 3: been you know, we've been brothers for a long time

452
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:12,600
Speaker 3: and so we I don't want to say we see

453
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:14,560
Speaker 3: things through the same set of eyes, but you know

454
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:17,320
Speaker 3: we we grew up together doing everything.

455
00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:22,560
Speaker 2: So I respect Lance incredibly. I love Dan Brugler. I

456
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:23,160

00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:43,560
Speaker 3: fun to talk to, they're funny. You know, Dane was

466
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:46,159
Speaker 3: a guy that as Lance aer putting stuff together. He

467
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:49,280
Speaker 3: started coming on the scene and has risen to great heights,

468
00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:52,480
Speaker 3: and I'm, you know, he's I'm sort of proud of

469
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:55,280
Speaker 3: what he's done, you know, because for a long time,

470
00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:56,840
Speaker 3: when Lance and I were doing it here in Houston,

471
00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:58,800
Speaker 3: there were you know, some others kind of watching what

472
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:00,920
Speaker 3: we were doing, and they were, you know, doing their

473
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:03,520
Speaker 3: thing after that, and Dane has done that and taking

474
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:07,360
Speaker 3: it to a completely different level. But but DJ it's

475
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:10,080
Speaker 3: interesting when you hear him and you listen to him,

476
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:13,800
Speaker 3: you feel like there's no heirrors. It's just a straight up, honest,

477
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:16,760
Speaker 3: you know, just good dude. And then you meet him

478
00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:18,920
Speaker 3: and you realize he's even better dude. So to me,

479
00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:21,960
Speaker 3: those are the three not to leave, you know, anybody

480
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:23,879
Speaker 3: out of that crew, but those are the three to

481
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:28,920
Speaker 3: me that I I respect more than than any other.

482
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:31,399
Speaker 3: Those three guys. I think there are some guys that

483
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:33,760
Speaker 3: are up becoming Jordan Reed at ESPN. I think is

484
00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:37,800
Speaker 3: is pretty good, and you know, Dane, I guess age

485
00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:39,879
Speaker 3: wise kind of fits that group. But I those are

486
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:41,679
Speaker 3: the three that I respect, and I think I respect

487
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:45,120
Speaker 3: them a lot because they're not always right.

488
00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:48,120
Speaker 2: They just tell you what they think. And I think

489
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:48,719
Speaker 2: that's important.

490
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:50,760
Speaker 3: It's an important distinction because I think a lot of

491
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:52,480
Speaker 3: people get into this and they're like, no, I'm right,

492
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:56,480
Speaker 3: I'm right, and it's like, this is what I think,

493
00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:58,280
Speaker 3: and this is what I believe, and this is what

494
00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:00,920
Speaker 3: I've based it on. And and I, you know, I

495
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:02,600
Speaker 3: used to be one of those no, I'm right kind

496
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:05,200
Speaker 3: of guys. You know, early when I did this, I realized,

497
00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:07,560
Speaker 3: you know, that turns people off, and I don't. I

498
00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:08,960
Speaker 3: don't want to be that way, and that's not me.

499
00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:10,480
Speaker 2: I don't. I don't want to be like look at me,

500
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:12,040
Speaker 2: you know, I don't want to do that. And so

501
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:13,960
Speaker 2: I kind of I get that thought with Dane and

502
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:16,399
Speaker 2: see with Dane and DJ and with Lance.

503
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:18,400
Speaker 3: So that's why I like those guys, and I hope

504
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:20,560
Speaker 3: that I can be kind of part of that from

505
00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:24,160
Speaker 3: the standpoint of just a you know, good old football

506
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:26,240
Speaker 3: guy who loves the game and loves to talk about

507
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:27,440
Speaker 3: it and loves to share with the people.

508
00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:29,639
Speaker 2: And hopefully that's what people see. They see that love

509
00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:30,800
Speaker 2: come through with the draft guide.

510
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:34,320
Speaker 1: Okay, I won't tell milk kiper or Todd makeshure you

511
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:38,280
Speaker 1: said this, okay, good. Next up, Drew Doherty visits with

512
00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:41,120
Speaker 1: Jerry Hughes. Are we going to talk about the defense?

513
00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:41,960
Speaker 2: How dare we?

514
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:46,280
Speaker 1: It's Texans Radio. It's Texans Radio. Mark Vandermer and John

515
00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:49,200
Speaker 1: Harris with you before we get back to the conversation.

516
00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:51,600
Speaker 1: With less than a week to go before the draft. Now,

517
00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 1: Drew Doherty visited with Jerry Hughes out in Provision. This

518
00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:58,520
Speaker 1: is a great school in Sunnyside run by former NFL

519
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:03,000
Speaker 1: qb QB ZEB cornerback royan Al Young does an amazing

520
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:06,280
Speaker 1: job with these students out there. And Drew visits with

521
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:07,840
Speaker 1: Jerry Hughes on campus.

522
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:11,920
Speaker 6: It doesn't matter who you are. Everybody loves a cool

523
00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:14,600
Speaker 6: new pair of shoes, and this guy, Jerry Hughes of

524
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:17,760
Speaker 6: the Houston Texans defensive lineman, gave away a lot of

525
00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:20,640
Speaker 6: new shoes. Now, what prompted this generosity here at Provision

526
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:21,320
Speaker 6: Academy today?

527
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:24,320
Speaker 7: You know, this is a school that it really spoke

528
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:26,280
Speaker 7: to me what they're doing in the community, how they

529
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:28,919
Speaker 7: are reaching out to the youth, getting them involved. You've

530
00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:31,840
Speaker 7: got a faculty that is preaching education and it's really

531
00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:35,280
Speaker 7: highlighting on knowledge and touching on you know, the STEM

532
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:37,600
Speaker 7: as well as the technology aspect of it. Things that

533
00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:41,000
Speaker 7: these kids are going to need to one better than

534
00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:43,159
Speaker 7: in the future as they get ready, because you know,

535
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:44,920
Speaker 7: technology is here and then too, you know, just to

536
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:48,600
Speaker 7: continue to provide a positive morale for them. I mean,

537
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:51,000
Speaker 7: that's just something that we all need, especially for our

538
00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:51,920
Speaker 7: youth in today's world.

539
00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:53,960
Speaker 6: It was a tough year as a whole for the team.

540
00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:56,680
Speaker 6: You were a bright spot all those secks. What do

541
00:25:56,800 --> 00:25:59,119
Speaker 6: you do this offseason to build on what you did

542
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:00,200
Speaker 6: in twenty twenty TENO.

543
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:02,200
Speaker 7: You know, just got to keep building up the team.

544
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:04,159
Speaker 7: You know, we're a very young base. A lot of

545
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:06,159
Speaker 7: the guys are still learning how to be a pro.

546
00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:08,080
Speaker 7: And I think that that's great that you know, they

547
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:11,240
Speaker 7: have myself, they have Case, they have Robert Woods. They

548
00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:13,320
Speaker 7: brought in some veterans who know how to win and

549
00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:15,639
Speaker 7: know how to just have a successful season. So I

550
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:17,240
Speaker 7: think that's just going to be great for our young

551
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:20,000
Speaker 7: franchise so we can continue to win games.

552
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:22,239
Speaker 6: Yeah, you've always been optimistic since you got here. You're

553
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:25,560
Speaker 6: an optimistic person by nature. What you've seen before the draft,

554
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:27,399
Speaker 6: what's got you even more optimistic. You just named a

555
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:30,240
Speaker 6: couple names, but why are you bullish on the future?

556
00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:32,520
Speaker 7: So to say, just what Nick has been doing in

557
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:36,359
Speaker 7: the offseason, going out getting veterans who are pros, they

558
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:38,080
Speaker 7: know how to take care of their bodies. They're here

559
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:41,480
Speaker 7: in the building already with the voluntary offseason, and that

560
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:44,320
Speaker 7: just triculates down all through our young team. You know,

561
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:47,240
Speaker 7: we got guys like Christian Harris and Jalen Petrie who

562
00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:49,680
Speaker 7: kind of sees these vets of Jimmy Ward, who's you know,

563
00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:52,440
Speaker 7: in the ice tub after workouts doing those little small

564
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:54,600
Speaker 7: things that you hear your coach might say, It might

565
00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:56,520
Speaker 7: not resonate as well as when you have an actual

566
00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:58,600
Speaker 7: player who's doing it and who's you know, just in

567
00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:00,880
Speaker 7: your ear already talking football. I think that's just gonna

568
00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:03,159
Speaker 7: make our team great. When you have young guys who

569
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:06,160
Speaker 7: are thinking ball, working together, who are excited to work together,

570
00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:08,720
Speaker 7: you know that team chemistry that you need to go

571
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:10,399
Speaker 7: out there and play, well, that's what we're going to

572
00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:10,840
Speaker 7: have early on.

573
00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:12,640
Speaker 6: You've done this at a really high level of time

574
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:16,159
Speaker 6: or two or three or four. How invigorating is this

575
00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:18,240
Speaker 6: time of the year off season condition when you get

576
00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:19,760
Speaker 6: back together with your teammates after a little bit.

577
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:20,160
Speaker 8: Of a layoff.

578
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:22,960
Speaker 7: It's exciting. Everybody's had their off season, so now you

579
00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:25,000
Speaker 7: just get to hear about where everyone's been. You know,

580
00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:27,119
Speaker 7: we got guys who are from all over the country,

581
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:29,680
Speaker 7: so guys get to tell you about what they've done.

582
00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:29,840
Speaker 5: You know.

583
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:31,919
Speaker 7: For me, I'm a homebody. I got kids in school,

584
00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:34,520
Speaker 7: so uh, I play dad. I play that dad' role,

585
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:36,399
Speaker 7: try to do it well. It's been fun for me,

586
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:38,320
Speaker 7: but it's just a good time for us to kind

587
00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:40,920
Speaker 7: of relax mentally. But you know, when we come back here,

588
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:43,320
Speaker 7: the one thing I love is that everybody's eager to work.

589
00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:45,479
Speaker 7: People aren't shy about that, and that's what you need

590
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:47,960
Speaker 7: when you want a team or an organization to win.

591
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:50,440
Speaker 6: That's exciting news to hear finish things with this. How

592
00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:53,040
Speaker 6: tuned in to the NFL Draft weekend?

593
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:53,399
Speaker 2: Are you?

594
00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:54,000
Speaker 6: Oh? Man?

595
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:55,480
Speaker 7: I mean, how can you not be tuned in? The

596
00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:57,800
Speaker 7: NFL is now traveling around from city to city. I'm

597
00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:01,000
Speaker 7: fingers cross hoping that we can pretty soon. So, I mean,

598
00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:03,440
Speaker 7: this is gonna be really excited. I know we're gonna

599
00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:05,239
Speaker 7: make some awesome picks. We're gonna get some guys who

600
00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:07,639
Speaker 7: are gonna contribute to this team early and you know,

601
00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:08,679
Speaker 7: turn it around for us.

602
00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:10,520
Speaker 6: Jerry Hughes, thanks so much of the time. Can't wait

603
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:11,240
Speaker 6: to talk with you again.

604
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:12,040
Speaker 7: Thanks for having me.

605
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:14,960
Speaker 1: There's Drew with Jerry Hughes on the campus of Provision,

606
00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:18,320
Speaker 1: the school in Sunnyside. What an amazing place. I really

607
00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:20,040
Speaker 1: encourage you to learn a lot more about it. A

608
00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:21,680
Speaker 1: lot of people we know are on that board, like

609
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:25,119
Speaker 1: Rick Smith and Jeff Van Gundy. Anyway, Johnny, Jerry Hughes

610
00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:30,280
Speaker 1: one of several contributors on the defensive line, which I

611
00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:34,439
Speaker 1: think is already in reasonable shape heading in to the draft,

612
00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:36,400
Speaker 1: but it's gonna be exciting. And we were talking about

613
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:38,840
Speaker 1: a guy named Taylor Stalwart who was also out there

614
00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:42,640
Speaker 1: at Provision, who played for like a minute last year,

615
00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:45,520
Speaker 1: but many flashed, so you're thinking maybe he could do

616
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:47,640
Speaker 1: some things this year, along with the rest of the

617
00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:50,320
Speaker 1: crew they have. I think up front there are some

618
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:52,760
Speaker 1: hidden gems here maybe. And when I say hidden, maybe

619
00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:54,560
Speaker 1: not from us, but from the rest of the world,

620
00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:55,880
Speaker 1: from the rest of the league anyway.

621
00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:58,840
Speaker 3: Absolutely, I mean the three additions I cost Taylor Stalwart

622
00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:01,040
Speaker 3: an addition because it was late in Sembary only got

623
00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:03,640
Speaker 3: him for one game, but I was, I've been a

624
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:05,720
Speaker 3: fan of Stalwarts for a while. So you got Stalwarts

625
00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:09,680
Speaker 3: to Rankins to Ridgeway, to Malik and Roy and Thomas

626
00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:16,000
Speaker 3: Booker and Kurt Heinisch, and that interior goes up five

627
00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:20,400
Speaker 3: notches and you're like, Okay, it's not not perfect. But

628
00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:23,600
Speaker 3: I think just just when you feel like it's right,

629
00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:26,680
Speaker 3: that's when you know you need more. When you know

630
00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:29,440
Speaker 3: you need more, you need a lot. And so I

631
00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:31,600
Speaker 3: think last year was like, Okay, we need more.

632
00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:32,600
Speaker 2: So we needed a lot.

633
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:37,600
Speaker 3: Well, we brought in three excellent, stout, thick, quick, agile

634
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:42,440
Speaker 3: interior guys. The edge we're not as We're not as deep,

635
00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:45,480
Speaker 3: especially with experience. Now Jerry's got a lot of it.

636
00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:48,360
Speaker 3: There's no doubt case. Winnovich has never played for the

637
00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:50,560
Speaker 3: Texans before, but I was, I was a fan of

638
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:52,680
Speaker 3: his coming out of Michigan. And then you throw in

639
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:55,520
Speaker 3: your guys like Damone, Harris, Derek Rivers, Man Derrek Rivers,

640
00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:56,240
Speaker 3: Rivers to healthy.

641
00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:59,640
Speaker 2: My goodness, he might be arguably your best pass rusher.

642
00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:02,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, the way he moves and how quick an agilant

643
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:04,520
Speaker 3: throws hands at me, He's incredible.

644
00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:08,080
Speaker 2: I still think you need a little more, which means

645
00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:09,880
Speaker 2: you need way more.

646
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:14,040
Speaker 3: So I do think the edge spot you need somebody

647
00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:17,680
Speaker 3: that can impact the game on day one.

648
00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:20,400
Speaker 2: You bring that guy in and you're like, yo, okay,

649
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:22,960
Speaker 2: I see it. I get it.

650
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:27,280
Speaker 3: Tyree Wilson, will Anderson, Miles Murphy, Lucas Vans. You know

651
00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:29,280
Speaker 3: guys in this you know second round and later of

652
00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:33,080
Speaker 3: Felix Anwda, Keuye Zolma from Kansas State, Isaiah Foski, you

653
00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:36,440
Speaker 3: know somebody that when that guy rolls in, you're like, Okay,

654
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:39,160
Speaker 3: he's fixing to change the game on the outside.

655
00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:42,080
Speaker 2: And so I do think on the edge there's there's

656
00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:42,920
Speaker 2: a little something needed.

657
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:46,040
Speaker 3: But it's interesting kind of watching And as I was

658
00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:49,120
Speaker 3: going through my evaluations on the interior, I'm like, yeah.

659
00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:50,920
Speaker 2: I like this guy, but I don't know.

660
00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:54,520
Speaker 3: I came to the realization I don't think it's as

661
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:58,560
Speaker 3: great an interior draft, And especially if Jalen Carter is

662
00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:01,480
Speaker 3: not you know, Axon's kind of guy because of some

663
00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:04,080
Speaker 3: of the offle field stuff, then you're really limited on

664
00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:07,040
Speaker 3: what's there, uh on the interior. So going out and

665
00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:10,720
Speaker 3: getting guys that you know s on Ridgeway in free

666
00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:13,400
Speaker 3: agency I think was big. I think it was huge,

667
00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:16,520
Speaker 3: and so hopefully, uh that comes to fruition and those

668
00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:19,120
Speaker 3: guys calls to healthy and play. And again, the one

669
00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:21,360
Speaker 3: thing I bring up, especially with the defensive line, is

670
00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:23,920
Speaker 3: what Nick told this draft night. We sat down with

671
00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:26,520
Speaker 3: Nick and we're looking at our edge roster and we're like, Nick, no,

672
00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:27,880
Speaker 3: we really didn't do anything bro.

673
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:29,920
Speaker 2: Like and he said, don't worry.

674
00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:33,800
Speaker 3: He gave us the the Aaron Rodgers are e lax, relax,

675
00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:37,560
Speaker 3: got a few things coming. And then Monday, Jerry Hughes,

676
00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:43,440
Speaker 3: Mario Addison, Sheen Green all signed like okay, all right,

677
00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:47,120
Speaker 3: And so you gotta sometimes give some things time to

678
00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:50,760
Speaker 3: work out. And I know there's one position in particular

679
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:53,320
Speaker 3: everybody wants to work out yesterday, but we just have

680
00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:55,440
Speaker 3: to kind of play it out. But I'm kind of

681
00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:57,760
Speaker 3: I'm excited about what this defensive line can do. Mark,

682
00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:01,960
Speaker 3: especially projecting a player or two at an elite level,

683
00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:04,400
Speaker 3: elite level in the draft coming to the Texans. That

684
00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:06,240
Speaker 3: could start getting some get pretty.

685
00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:08,360
Speaker 1: Fun again, all right, Johnny. I've got stories from Jalen

686
00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:12,120
Speaker 1: Petrie and Damian Pierce about their drafting or getting drafted

687
00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:15,239
Speaker 1: experience uh, And I'm still here in the hun Day

688
00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:17,640
Speaker 1: Texans radio studio waiting for Taylor Swift to walk in

689
00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:19,440
Speaker 1: and ask me to play guitar for her tonight. I

690
00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:21,160
Speaker 1: don't think that's gonna happen. I'll be waiting a long

691
00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:24,600
Speaker 1: time for that. But since I just brought her up,

692
00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:29,040
Speaker 1: is she the greatest female singer songwriter ever? And who's

693
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:31,400
Speaker 1: your favorite in that category?

694
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:36,280
Speaker 2: Well, it's shot A There's no question right to it. Yeah,

695
00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:37,960
Speaker 2: shot A Derm.

696
00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:40,640
Speaker 3: Tumpson and I have that in common for sure, and

697
00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:42,440
Speaker 3: the fact that we spent some time in and around

698
00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:43,640
Speaker 3: Jacks o'flores, so we've got that.

699
00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:44,840
Speaker 2: So we've got a couple things in common.

700
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:45,080
Speaker 3: Lt.

701
00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:48,600
Speaker 2: But Shota is my favorite.

702
00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:51,719
Speaker 3: But I don't it's hard to argue with Taylor Swift, man,

703
00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:57,560
Speaker 3: I mean just the economics the Swifties, I mean, you know,

704
00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:01,640
Speaker 3: it's hard to not include Beyonce. That obviously, being in

705
00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:08,040
Speaker 3: Houston and just seeing the fervent fan basis of both artists, Mark,

706
00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:14,040
Speaker 3: that's incredible. Yeah, to just see how devoted the fans

707
00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:19,520
Speaker 3: are to each of those two wonder wonderful artists in

708
00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:22,200
Speaker 3: Taylor Swift and Beyonce. So those would probably be the two.

709
00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:25,600
Speaker 3: I would say Madonna, except you know, I don't know.

710
00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:28,840
Speaker 3: I was never a big Madonna fan. So yeah, I

711
00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:30,640
Speaker 3: look at Taylor Swift.

712
00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:33,960
Speaker 1: I'm okay with I look at Taylor a little differently

713
00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:36,440
Speaker 1: because she's such a writer, you know, And I'm not

714
00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:39,160
Speaker 1: saying she's the greatest writer, but she's writen a lot

715
00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:42,680
Speaker 1: of good catchy tunes, and she's more of a writer

716
00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:45,080
Speaker 1: than the other two you mentioned, so I give her

717
00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:47,560
Speaker 1: a little bit there. I love the fact that she

718
00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:50,680
Speaker 1: pulled Carly Simon on stage in Foxborough once upon a time.

719
00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:52,480
Speaker 1: But you know, I'm going to old school now. Yes

720
00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:56,160
Speaker 1: he did, because Carly lives. I guess Martha's vineyard. She

721
00:33:56,280 --> 00:33:58,000
Speaker 1: flew her over. I don't know how it all went down,

722
00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:00,760
Speaker 1: but they sang you're Solvain together. Look I love that

723
00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:05,360
Speaker 1: because I'm a throwback anyway. Coming up Draft Nights stories,

724
00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:09,759
Speaker 1: Jalen Peatree, Damian Pierce. Pierce's was during the day. Let's

783
00:36:56,760 --> 00:37:00,359
Speaker 1: was a Friday night last year, second rounder. You know them,

787
00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:13,040
Speaker 1: Petrie's draft night story?

788
00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:14,720
Speaker 5: To be honest, I was really calm.

789
00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:14,960
Speaker 1: You know.

790
00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:17,560
Speaker 4: The first day, I was at the house with my

791
00:37:17,719 --> 00:37:20,279
Speaker 4: family and we were eating good, were chilling, and we

792
00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:22,840
Speaker 4: was able to watch that first day. And after the

793
00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:25,239
Speaker 4: first day it kind of started getting a little nerve

794
00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:27,560
Speaker 4: racking because I obviously wanted to be picked in the

795
00:37:27,600 --> 00:37:29,800
Speaker 4: first day, but waking up that next day, you know,

796
00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:31,279
Speaker 4: I was thankful that, you know, I was even in

797
00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:34,080
Speaker 4: consideration to be you know, to be able to be

798
00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:36,080
Speaker 4: taken in the draft. So I was sitting down and

799
00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:37,680
Speaker 4: then I ended up getting the call and it was

800
00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:40,000
Speaker 4: you know, it was different, you know, it was a

801
00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:42,360
Speaker 4: different feeling going on. I cried and it was a

802
00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:44,000
Speaker 4: very surreal moment for me and my family.

803
00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:44,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not.

804
00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:46,719
Speaker 6: I don't imagine you've cried too much lately, right.

805
00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:49,839
Speaker 5: No, I think that was the last time I cried.

806
00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:51,839
Speaker 5: Actually was What was the house?

807
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:52,600
Speaker 2: Like, we're worried?

808
00:37:52,680 --> 00:37:54,400
Speaker 6: Tell us about the setup? I mean, what time did

809
00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:57,040
Speaker 6: people get there? What did you guys do that second night,

810
00:37:57,120 --> 00:37:57,880
Speaker 6: that Friday night.

811
00:37:58,120 --> 00:37:59,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, so we were at my parents' house where I

812
00:37:59,800 --> 00:38:02,280
Speaker 4: grew up my whole life, and it was a small

813
00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:04,799
Speaker 4: group of family, you know, people that you know, helped

814
00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:06,160
Speaker 4: me get to the point where I am. I tried

815
00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:08,880
Speaker 4: to keep it real, you know, tight knit. And I

816
00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:10,640
Speaker 4: actually ended up getting a call and it was a

817
00:38:10,680 --> 00:38:13,560
Speaker 4: Houston number, obviously, and I thought it was somebody kind

818
00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:15,000
Speaker 4: of like just trying to get a hold of me.

819
00:38:15,080 --> 00:38:17,600
Speaker 4: And I wasn't about to answer that first, but then

820
00:38:17,640 --> 00:38:19,920
Speaker 4: I'm like, let me just answer it. Get it out

821
00:38:19,920 --> 00:38:21,720
Speaker 4: the way tell them that I'm waiting for a draft call.

822
00:38:21,640 --> 00:38:23,560
Speaker 5: And it ended up being, you know, the Texans, So

823
00:38:24,360 --> 00:38:25,760
Speaker 5: it was. It was a crazy moment.

824
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:27,760
Speaker 2: So it wasn't one of those potential spam.

825
00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:30,719
Speaker 4: It didn't say spam. It actually said the number with

826
00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:33,799
Speaker 4: the Houston Texas under it. So it was Nick, Nick,

827
00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:36,359
Speaker 4: and Lovey and they told me that they was gonna

828
00:38:36,360 --> 00:38:37,960
Speaker 4: be taking me with the next pick and that they were,

829
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:39,880
Speaker 4: you know, grateful to have me here in Houston.

830
00:38:40,239 --> 00:38:41,720
Speaker 5: You know, a couple jokes flew.

831
00:38:41,560 --> 00:38:43,840
Speaker 4: Here and there about how I was fifteen minutes away.

832
00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:45,840
Speaker 5: Stuff like that, But yeah, it was. It was a

833
00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:48,440
Speaker 5: crazy moment. My family knew. My family knew.

834
00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:50,920
Speaker 4: Actually before I went on to TV obviously because you know,

835
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:53,399
Speaker 4: it happens a little bit earlier than it's shown on TV.

836
00:38:53,600 --> 00:38:57,160
Speaker 5: And uh, everybody was happy. You know, my parents were crying.

837
00:38:57,360 --> 00:38:57,640
Speaker 6: It was.

838
00:38:58,239 --> 00:38:59,239

850
00:39:32,719 --> 00:39:35,439
Speaker 1: on Sports Radio six ' ten on Texans Radio John

851
00:39:35,520 --> 00:39:37,959
Speaker 1: Harris live for every hour of the draft. He doesn't

852
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:40,160
Speaker 1: even have to look stuff up. Somebody gets picked in

853
00:39:40,239 --> 00:39:44,480
Speaker 1: round six, a backup center from a directional school in Nebraska.

854
00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:46,319
Speaker 1: He knows who it is and who their parents were.

855
00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:49,400
Speaker 1: It's amazing stuff to see. I can't pull him off

856
00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:51,600
Speaker 1: the air ever, because you know, it's like taking a

857
00:39:51,680 --> 00:39:53,560
Speaker 1: great player out of the game. You don't want to

858
00:39:53,640 --> 00:39:57,120
Speaker 1: do that. Johnny Harris knows his draft stuff better than anybody.

859
00:39:57,200 --> 00:40:01,800
Speaker 1: In his website, footballtakeover dot Com has free John Harris

860
00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:04,080
Speaker 1: Draft Guide, so that's something you want to check out.

861
00:40:04,360 --> 00:40:07,200
Speaker 1: I mentioned flashback Friday because you know the other day

862
00:40:07,239 --> 00:40:10,320
Speaker 1: I was out at the Taylor Swift merch Tent and

863
00:40:10,440 --> 00:40:12,640
Speaker 1: I posted something about that. I bought a shirt from

864
00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:17,200
Speaker 1: my son's girlfriend. I figured, you know, she might want

865
00:40:17,320 --> 00:40:19,600
Speaker 1: something and he would look like a champ getting it

866
00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:23,000
Speaker 1: for her, so I purchased that. Anyway, there's the Dome

867
00:40:23,120 --> 00:40:26,120
Speaker 1: right there, and I remembered I did a couple of

868
00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:29,239
Speaker 1: events in the Dome when I moved here right away.

869
00:40:29,280 --> 00:40:31,040
Speaker 1: I think it was week one or two. I did

870
00:40:31,080 --> 00:40:34,120
Speaker 1: a South Main Chamber of Commerce luncheon I believe it

871
00:40:34,239 --> 00:40:36,800
Speaker 1: was called with Bob McNair and Lou Holtz was a

872
00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:40,800
Speaker 1: special guest that day as well. And the very first

873
00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:43,279
Speaker 1: This is why it's relevant to what's going on these days.

874
00:40:43,520 --> 00:40:47,719
Speaker 1: The very first Texans draft party was held in the

875
00:40:47,840 --> 00:40:50,480
Speaker 1: Astrodome on the floor of the Astrodome. The stadium wasn't

876
00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:52,880
Speaker 1: complete yet, so they just did the draft party of

877
00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:55,640
Speaker 1: the Astrodome. Why not David Carr, of course, the number

878
00:40:55,640 --> 00:40:58,959
Speaker 1: one overall pick for your Texans. We all remember Chester

879
00:40:59,080 --> 00:41:02,240
Speaker 1: Pitts getting select did how's it going? Chester, Jabbar Gaffney,

880
00:41:02,320 --> 00:41:05,760
Speaker 1: Fred Weary, among many others. I think they had thirteen

881
00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:08,400
Speaker 1: choices in the very first draft in two thousand and two,

882
00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:11,440
Speaker 1: but that draft party was held at the Astrodome. The

883
00:41:11,480 --> 00:41:14,080
Speaker 1: stadium would not be ready until around training camp. I

884
00:41:14,120 --> 00:41:16,879
Speaker 1: mean the first exhibition game obviously was the first event

885
00:41:16,920 --> 00:41:19,640
Speaker 1: here at the stadium, and they might have been throwing

886
00:41:19,680 --> 00:41:21,960
Speaker 1: up a coat of paint a couple of weeks before that,

887
00:41:22,200 --> 00:41:26,200
Speaker 1: you know how stadium and arena construction is. Anyway, that's

888
00:41:26,200 --> 00:41:28,359
Speaker 1: going to do it for the show tonight. This will

889
00:41:28,400 --> 00:41:31,759
Speaker 1: be up in podcast form on the Texans App and Spotify,
