1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:00,800
Speaker 1: Typing. Everybody.

2
00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:03,200
Speaker 2: Welcome to Monday edition that Texans All Access from the

3
00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:07,280
Speaker 2: Texans Radio Studio. I'm your host, John Harris, football analyst,

4
00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:11,440
Speaker 2: sideline reporter of the booth for preseason TV games, and

5
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:15,760
Speaker 2: glad to be with you on a day that well,

6
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:18,200
Speaker 2: we'll get into a little bit of this. We're gonna

7
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:22,320
Speaker 2: hear from our guys Andre ware, d Clue and John

8
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:25,239
Speaker 2: McClain a little later in the show, But a little

9
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:29,040
Speaker 2: bit of news first. We don't know the status at

10
00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:33,000
Speaker 2: this point of anything, and obviously we found out when

11
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:35,920
Speaker 2: we were in West Virginia. Never jumped to conclusions on things,

12
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 2: but Brevin Jordan injured at practice been reported by a

13
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:43,680
Speaker 2: number of different sources. That's basically what we know at

14
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:48,080
Speaker 2: this point. I don't really want to get into what,

15
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 2: you know, what it could be, what it might not be,

16
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:53,360
Speaker 2: what everybody else is saying. I don't really give a

17
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:55,920
Speaker 2: damn about what everybody else is putting out there, because

18
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 2: last week is put out there and is wrong, and

19
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:00,240
Speaker 2: so we're not going to do any of that. But

20
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:03,600
Speaker 2: just seeing Brev have to leave practice was just a

21
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:06,400
Speaker 2: gut punch for a lot of different people. People in

22
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 2: a building that know Brev really well, you know this,

23
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 2: this stinks and I am one of those it's been

24
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 2: kind of hard to talk about this. This is kind

25
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 2: of practiced before the show what I was going to say,

26
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:20,960
Speaker 2: and I know there's no good way to say it,

27
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 2: but I love Brev, love him, just love him as

28
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:27,959
Speaker 2: a person, player, whatever it might be. But I just

29
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 2: love that man, and I hope he's going to be

30
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:32,679
Speaker 2: okay and back as as soon as he possibly can.

31
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 2: But that's the news on brevit George. So we got

32
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 2: to continue, just like they did it practice day. We

33
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 2: got to keep going, and we're going to start with

34
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:44,959
Speaker 2: the man we always start with on a Monday after

35
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 2: a game over the weekend, Andre where now two of

36
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 2: the three of us have had a back issue, a

37
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 2: similar back issue to the one that Matt Stafford's dealing with.

38
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 2: We wanted to get Dre Stotts because he's kind of

39
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 2: going through it right now, and we started off asking

40
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 2: him about this report about Matt Stafford's back and what

41
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 2: Dre thought about it.

42
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 3: Let's get back injury expert in here, Andre Ware, who

43
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 3: also happens to be our color commentator in the nineteen

44
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:15,080
Speaker 3: eighty nine Heisman Trophy winner, but he also knows about

45
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 3: back injuries. Drake, good morning. How do you think stafore

46
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 3: feeling he's gonna practice? But what is the long term

47
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:25,520
Speaker 3: for this doctor ware in your opinion with the disc

48
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 3: problem that Stafford has.

49
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, I know a little bit about that, and uh,

50
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 4: I know that it can feel one way one minute,

51
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 4: and then all of a sudden it flares up and

52
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 4: it's a totally It'll do a oneint eighty where you

53
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 4: feel like you can play, you feel like you're making

54
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:44,239
Speaker 4: all this progress, and then all of a sudden one

55
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 4: day you wake up and there's no rhyme or reason

56
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:49,800
Speaker 4: to it. It just happens. And if it's if it

57
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 4: happens to be something along the lines of sciatica, uh man,

58
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 4: that that is, that's gonna be tough for him to

59
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 4: deal with all season oouch.

60
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 2: Two of the three of us have had this back issue,

61
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:03,520
Speaker 2: and two of the three of us have had the

62
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:05,079
Speaker 2: epidural shots.

63
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 1: That Matt Stafford's taken.

64
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 2: Now, none of the three of us had surgery that

65
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 2: alleviated my pain, So I just imagine what it's like

66
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 2: when you have that epidural shot. Hey, you got a

67
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 2: couple hours you feel good and then all of a

68
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 2: sudden it flares back up. And that's kind of my

69
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:21,920
Speaker 2: that was my experience with it. I know Dre had

70
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 2: that same experience, Trey. Let's get to this.

71
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 4: He could go ahead, Johnny, feel good for a while.

72
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 4: It could go right around a month. But I just

73
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 4: don't understand. I just don't comprehend anyone trying to play

74
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 4: play aff in the NFL. There's any football game, but

75
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 4: in an NFL game dealing with that and if it's

76
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 4: if that's what it is, it's gonna be a long, tough,

77
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 4: tough year for him because, like I said, that epidural

78
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 4: shot could last him a month. It could last him

79
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 4: a couple of hours, it might last a week. You

80
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 4: just don't know. Everybody responds differently to it.

81
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, the one thing that I'm pretty sure of is

82
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 2: it won't last seventeen weeks. Uh So, if I'm playing

83
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 2: the rams we tested this before Dre, I would just

84
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 2: I would blitz him all day long until he just

85
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 2: like I can't take it anymore. It was interesting on

86
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 2: Saturday because my girlfriend was in one booth and my

87
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:17,839
Speaker 2: wife was in the other booth, and it was just

88
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 2: odd that I'm in between the two of them.

89
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:22,159
Speaker 1: But how much did y'all miss me on Saturday?

90
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:25,159
Speaker 2: And what were your big takeaways from the game on So,

91
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 2: what's the biggest takeaway you took out of Saturday? Dreh.

92
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,599
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's funny that you use that analogy. I was

93
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 4: watching something the other day where a reporter was asking

94
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:39,719
Speaker 4: an NBA player, and it's a true story why he

95
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 4: played so bad. I mean, he couldn't hit anything, couldn't

96
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 4: even get it to the rim, missing free throws. That's

97
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 4: a pretty good player. And then all of a sudden

98
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 4: he looked up after the game, sitting in his locker

99
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:54,359
Speaker 4: and he said, Man, my wife was sitting next to

100
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:58,840
Speaker 4: my girlfriend in all game long. So so yeah, during

101
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 4: the game, and so you can't hit you can't throw

102
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:07,720
Speaker 4: it in the ocean, man. But I enjoyed. I enjoyed Saturday.

103
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 4: I thought there were some really good parts in the game,

104
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 4: especially early offensively. Ursery is going to be a player,

105
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:21,040
Speaker 4: and I was pleasantly surprised. He has just got to

106
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 4: get on the voyage of getting better, a little bit

107
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:25,599
Speaker 4: better every single day. He's gonna want to see it

108
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:29,039
Speaker 4: in leaps and bounds because he's a young player, but

109
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:32,480
Speaker 4: it's gonna come in short spurts, and he's got to

110
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 4: be willing to just accept it as that learn from it,

111
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:38,800
Speaker 4: try not to make the same mistake twice. But I

112
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 4: think they were onto something. This second round pick from Minnesota,

113
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:45,120
Speaker 4: him having gone back to the city that he was

114
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:48,479
Speaker 4: playing in, so it was a good start from a

115
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:52,680
Speaker 4: comfort standpoint from him. Higgins I thought did some good things.

116
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:55,279
Speaker 4: There are some young players who did a lot of

117
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 4: good things. EJ. Speed, a free agent signing in the offseason,

118
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:01,799
Speaker 4: played his butt off in the first half, so made

119
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 4: several big plays. Three that come to mind right away.

120
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 4: So all the new pickups, new being rookies, free agents,

121
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:14,480
Speaker 4: a lot of them made play Saturday.

122
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, let's talk about the receivers here, Drake, because Jalen

123
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 3: Nole had had that screen catch and run where he

124
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 3: broke the tackle you talked about Higgins, he had a

125
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 3: couple of catches in the game. Burrios had three at

126
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 3: the touchdown when he went with a pilon pilon. Yeah,

127
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 3: what about this group because they showed some things that

128
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 3: we didn't see Nico or Kirk.

129
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 4: There. You know, there's some excitement there because you didn't

130
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 4: see the top end guys, but other guys were making plays,

131
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:46,040
Speaker 4: and so they're just gonna fit right in along with

132
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:49,920
Speaker 4: the guys who didn't play. And there's competition, isn't There

133
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:53,599
Speaker 4: Always a guy that kind of flashes during camp, early

134
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 4: in camp and he wind up being becoming a fan

135
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 4: of this guy? Does he make it? And you're, you know,

136
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 4: holding your breath for him through the entire camp, and

137
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:04,040
Speaker 4: then all of a sudden, you know, either either makes

138
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:05,680
Speaker 4: it or doesn't, and you feel one way or the

139
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 4: other about it. But there's always one guy, and I

140
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 4: think Barrios is that guy for me this year. He

141
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 4: just you just sense the energy in which he plays

142
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 4: the game with and by that his love for the

143
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 4: game is genuine. It just exudes uh confidence. Uh he

144
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 4: bounces around. You just see it in every route that

145
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 4: he runs, every time he touches the football. So he's

146
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 4: a really really fun young man to watch play.

147
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 1: You know who that was for me last year?

148
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:37,840
Speaker 5: Who was British Brooks.

149
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 2: Okay, British Brooks is that guy because every time he

150
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 2: touched the football it was like he did something, you know,

151
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 2: like he ran somebody over, he ran through a guy

152
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 2: in the end zone and then Saturday.

153
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 1: He dropped the hammer.

154
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 2: On Tyfeld on that kickoff, I mean flying down and

155
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 2: our our ground mics, uh, that field level mics must

156
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 2: have been cranked up to ten because every time there

157
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 2: was a collision it sounded like.

158
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 1: A bomb going off in our ears. And that sounded like.

159
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 2: A bomb going off when British landed that hit on Felton.

160
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 2: So that leads me to running backs. Dray Nick Chubb

161
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 2: a little banged up at the Green Brier, should be okay.

162
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 2: We should see him soon, but we haven't seen Joe Mixon.

163
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 2: Damian Pierce is kind of ramping up a little bit.

164
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 2: I know Jure and wood he didn't do a lot

165
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 2: on the ground, but I thought their pass protection was

166
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 2: pretty solid. And then Dari gave you what you got

167
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 2: out of Dara on that first drive and then you

168
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:34,200
Speaker 2: went what fifty something yards on eight or nine carries

169
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:35,080
Speaker 2: or whatever it was.

170
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 1: How do you look at this.

171
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 2: Running back position? If Joe and Nick are healthy, is

172
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 2: it really just them as the one too? Do you

173
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 2: think Juar or wood he could get a part of that.

174
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:46,720
Speaker 2: Darry has he remained a third down back or has

175
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:48,080
Speaker 2: that turned over to Woody? How do you kind of

176
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:50,600
Speaker 2: look at the running backs right now and throw Bernish

177
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 2: in there because he could play full back too, So

178
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:53,599
Speaker 2: he's got a little bit of that. What do you

179
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 2: think of this running back position right now?

180
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 4: And we know Damian Pierce can play special teams. You

181
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:02,559
Speaker 4: know that's true. Yep, you know you've got a tremendous

182
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 4: amount of competition that is the position group this year

183
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:09,080
Speaker 4: that you don't want to have to make a decision

184
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:11,840
Speaker 4: all that you know you're going to, uh do you

185
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:14,959
Speaker 4: keep four? Do you keep just three? He is the guy?

186
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 4: Is the fourth guy fullback? Or is he you know,

187
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:20,840
Speaker 4: one of these running backs that can maybe do both

188
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:24,959
Speaker 4: like British Brooks did last year's War. I thought was excellent,

189
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 4: excellent in pass protection. I mean there are a couple

190
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:30,679
Speaker 4: of times that the ball didn't come out if his

191
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 4: block doesn't happen, and then he follows that up with

192
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 4: the screen pass, you know, so it's it's it's fun

193
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 4: to watch him compete. You know, there are a lot

194
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:44,199
Speaker 4: of young guys after that third spot behind Joe Mixon

195
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 4: and Nick Chubbs. So it it's gonna turn into something

196
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:50,720
Speaker 4: Damien is gonna have to you know, I think, you know,

197
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 4: work his way back into this thing. Who knows, but

198
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 4: it's fun to watch. It's gonna be a tough, tough cutdown.

199
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:59,199
Speaker 4: And I know they're being coached well because one of

200
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,720
Speaker 4: the best coaches that have ever been in this organization

201
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:05,680
Speaker 4: is Danny Barrett, and he just knows his stuff. He

202
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 4: knows running backs. He can take guys that, you know,

203
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 4: if they've got to come in here because of injuries,

204
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:14,240
Speaker 4: he gets them prepared and ready. And you see his group.

205
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 4: That happened with his group during the preseason based on

206
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:21,720
Speaker 4: pass protection, because that's how you get on the field fastest.

207
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:23,960
Speaker 4: If you want to impress a coach and you're a

208
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 4: young running back, know the pass protection of every single

209
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 4: play or every pass play, because if they know you

210
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:34,319
Speaker 4: can you can protect the quarterback. Now you've earned some

211
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 4: trust and you're gonna get other things thrown on your plate.

212
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:38,320
Speaker 1: And I saw dB.

213
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:40,920
Speaker 2: I saw Danny on the sideline from our vantage point,

214
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 2: which is long ways away. I saw him get really

215
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:44,800
Speaker 2: excited when Ja Ware cut down one of those linebackers

216
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 2: one time, because we you know this better than anybody, Dray,

217
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:49,640
Speaker 2: because that running back was right in front of you

218
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 2: protecting for you.

219
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 1: If you can't protect. You want to see the field.

220
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 1: Forget it.

221
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 2: That's why tych Chandler is sitting at number three for

222
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 2: the Vikings. Ty Chandler is as talented as any back

223
00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:00,120
Speaker 2: goes on a field, as talent as many backs, but

224
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:01,720
Speaker 2: he can't pass protect. You don't know where to go.

225
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 2: I don't know what to do. He doesn't hold up.

226
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 2: That's why he don't. They doesn't play. But these guys

227
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 2: that were stepping on a field, they pass protect. And

228
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:11,319
Speaker 2: that's the thing. And I said this on the broadcast.

229
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 2: With a competition as tight as it is, you miss

230
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 2: one pass protection in a game, you go the wrong way,

231
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 2: you block the wrong guy, you get knocked on your wallet.

232
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:22,960
Speaker 2: You don't protect your quarter It could be one time

233
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 2: and they don't trust you. All of a sudden you

234
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 2: drop and man, that could be the difference you making

235
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:28,439
Speaker 2: the team. Missing the cut.

236
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:30,960
Speaker 5: Wow, you're on the bus to the house.

237
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:34,440
Speaker 4: Either buses are playing, you know, out of here. Because uh,

238
00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 4: you know, most running backs, especially you see it on

239
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 4: the collegiate level. They come out of high school. They've

240
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:41,959
Speaker 4: all they've run is toss right and toss left. They

241
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 4: haven't been asked to protect the quarterback. And so you know,

242
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 4: that's why parents really have to kind of settle in

243
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:51,599
Speaker 4: to this thing and don't give me on my soapbox

244
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 4: with this. But they think he's play. No, he's not

245
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:59,319
Speaker 4: ready to play, because, yeah, he can run it half

246
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:02,440
Speaker 4: the time, he could maybe catch it fifty percent of

247
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:04,679
Speaker 4: the time, but he has not been asked to pass

248
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 4: protect And there are three key you know categories and

249
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:11,160
Speaker 4: being a complete running back, those are the three.

250
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:13,959
Speaker 5: No, please go on about the parents, dray, I love this.

251
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, you don't want me going there. You want me

252
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 4: going there this morning now. But seriously, in all honesty,

253
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 4: this year my group of parents were the best that

254
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:29,240
Speaker 4: I've had every I mean, they allowed me to just

255
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 4: be me. They allowed me to coach tough. They you know,

256
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:34,959
Speaker 4: they won't come to me. They would come to me

257
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 4: behind players backs. Hey he's screwing up in school, can

258
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:41,200
Speaker 4: you run him a little extra? You know, just things

259
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 4: like that, and it's like, oh, yeah, I can. I

260
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:44,960
Speaker 4: can do all those things for you.

261
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:45,720
Speaker 5: Not a problem.

262
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:48,560
Speaker 4: But it was a pleasure. This year. We finished I

263
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:51,560
Speaker 4: think seventh, ranked seventh in the city, in the Greater

264
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:53,560
Speaker 4: Houston area, So that was kind of a straw in

265
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:54,600
Speaker 4: our hat as well.

266
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 3: Oh very nice, Yeah, very nice, very nice andre Ware

267
00:12:58,679 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 3: joining us.

268
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:01,160
Speaker 5: What is this week like in camp?

269
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:02,920
Speaker 3: I mean, we have another week to go after this

270
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:05,600
Speaker 3: and then the two week prep for the rams for

271
00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:08,439
Speaker 3: the veterans to ray. How do you handle this because

272
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:10,920
Speaker 3: you're asked to practice, You need to practice, you want

273
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:12,520
Speaker 3: to get better, you don't want to get hurt, you

274
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:15,440
Speaker 3: want to get better. But you're really in the kind

275
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 3: of dog days here. I guess looking forward to a

276
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:21,520
Speaker 3: joint practice on Thursday helps in another game.

277
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 5: How do you see it?

278
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 4: All those vets that have these little soft tissue is

279
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 4: injuries or some things that have been nagging them, this

280
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:33,880
Speaker 4: is the week they come back because they know they're

281
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 4: going to hit a different uniform during practice, and they

282
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:41,320
Speaker 4: also understand that it is kind of wind down time

283
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:43,040
Speaker 4: in terms of training camp. You're not going to do

284
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:46,079
Speaker 4: anything in that final preseason game, but there are a

285
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:49,520
Speaker 4: lot there's a lot of stuff as you just mentioned

286
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:52,200
Speaker 4: and described this week with the joint practices with the

287
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:55,920
Speaker 4: Panthers and then obviously the preseason game on Saturday. So

288
00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:00,720
Speaker 4: this is the week that most veterans will get some work.

289
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 4: Most will probably want a little bit of work going

290
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 4: into the season because you know me, I don't believe

291
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 4: that you can go from zero to one hundred. And

292
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 4: that's when injuries happen, is when you start holding guys

293
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:15,959
Speaker 4: holding them and then you're asking your body to go

294
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,800
Speaker 4: from zero of not doing anything to one hundred miles

295
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:22,800
Speaker 4: an hour. In an NFL game, something usually gives, and

296
00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 4: so you want to ramp your body up. That's what

297
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:28,760
Speaker 4: most vets this week are thinking, though, even those that

298
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:32,560
Speaker 4: may be a little bit hurt and have set out,

299
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 4: but then they'll start making their ways back this weekend.

300
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 2: This week, Dre, I was watching Hard Knocks and I'm

301
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 2: going somewhere with this with the Buffalo Bills, and the

302
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:44,240
Speaker 2: Buffalo Bills go to Saint John Fisher College for their

303
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:49,240
Speaker 2: training camp. They stay in dorms still for training camp.

304
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:50,520
Speaker 1: Did you ever have to do that?

305
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:53,640
Speaker 2: Did you, guys ever go away for camp when you

306
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 2: were playing and you had to go stay in the dorms. No.

307
00:14:56,800 --> 00:15:00,200
Speaker 4: I think Detroit does now, but I'm not sure we

308
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:04,520
Speaker 4: never did it. It was a hotel down from the

309
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 4: Silverdome is where we were housed for training camp, and

310
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 4: we had camp right there at the Silver Dome. The

311
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 4: only place I think that we would do to go

312
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:15,560
Speaker 4: away with was a mini camp every March. The first

313
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:18,680
Speaker 4: week of March, we would go down to Tampa, Florida,

314
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:21,840
Speaker 4: where Wayne's hometown was, or where he lived most of

315
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:24,440
Speaker 4: the off season. That's why we ended up in Florida.

316
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 4: But the excuse was it was still too cold in

317
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:29,840
Speaker 4: Detroit to host a mini camp. So we would go

318
00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 4: down there, coaches would party, we'd practice a little bit,

319
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 4: and then about a week or so of that, we'd

320
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 4: come on back to Detroit.

321
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 2: Okay, So this past June, the la Rams decided to

322
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:44,600
Speaker 2: go away for mini camp.

323
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:45,320
Speaker 5: Oh geez.

324
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:46,680
Speaker 1: They went to Maui.

325
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 2: Yes, Now, it was a cool thing because they did

326
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 2: some fundraising and things for the people that suffered the

327
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 2: fires a couple of years ago in Maui, and so

328
00:15:58,640 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 2: it had a.

329
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:00,440
Speaker 1: Good reason attached to it.

330
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, but if you could go away for training camp,

331
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:05,680
Speaker 2: not training camp, for mini camp, where are you in

332
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:11,920
Speaker 2: training camp for five days? Where would you go, dre,

333
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:14,280
Speaker 2: where would you go if you could go for five

334
00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:17,560
Speaker 2: days training camp? We're just pulling up steaks and we're going.

335
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:21,720
Speaker 2: Now you gotta stay domestically anywhere? Oh okay, let's keep

336
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 2: it domestically, Where would you go?

337
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:24,520
Speaker 1: Where would you go?

338
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 6: Get five?

339
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 4: Take you to Italy man on the southern coast of

340
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:30,320
Speaker 4: Italy and hang out. Now, it's gonna be a little

341
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:34,080
Speaker 4: bit hot there, especially during the times that you're talking about,

342
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:38,200
Speaker 4: unless it's like early in the spring or something. But uh,

343
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 4: you know, you get into the summer months or in

344
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:42,920
Speaker 4: that June area of a mini camp and then it's

345
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:45,360
Speaker 4: gonna be a little bit hot there. But I mean

346
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:51,520
Speaker 4: here at home, I'm at that point I'm thinking weather wise, right,

347
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:54,240
Speaker 4: and so you send me somewhere that's that I can

348
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:58,400
Speaker 4: really unplug and and really focus on what I'm doing.

349
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:03,160
Speaker 4: Maybe Montana, that's what I was thinking. Somewhere in Colorado,

350
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:05,320
Speaker 4: maybe those two states.

351
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:10,280
Speaker 1: I was thinking, it as good as you could have.

352
00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:14,240
Speaker 3: It is as good as you want it because it's

353
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:18,359
Speaker 3: cool and it's sequestered. You are, you're not doing anything

354
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 3: else but being at the Green Borough.

355
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:22,480
Speaker 5: I think they have a good year. I think they

356
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:22,920
Speaker 5: go back.

357
00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 3: We'll see dre quick note here and I know it's early,

358
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:32,080
Speaker 3: but Texas, Ohio state here we go and one and

359
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:35,679
Speaker 3: two battling. What are your thoughts on that one? Just

360
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:36,920
Speaker 3: an early peak for us?

361
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:40,120
Speaker 4: Please My thoughts overall in college football is we used

362
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:43,480
Speaker 4: to stop ranking teams come into the season and play

363
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 4: it the way the College Football Playoff does it, where

364
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:47,840
Speaker 4: you give it a couple of weeks and then you

365
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:52,080
Speaker 4: go back and prioritize and rank because there is no

366
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:56,480
Speaker 4: way you can tell me with all the Texas lost, Okay,

367
00:17:56,640 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 4: all the draft picks, I think thirteen two starting right now,

368
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:03,320
Speaker 4: two starting tackles on the offensive line and some others.

369
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:06,320
Speaker 4: They're rebuilding in front of arts, and I think they're

370
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:09,399
Speaker 4: ranked number one because of arts. Let's let's just be honest.

371
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:13,359
Speaker 4: Where's Ohio State ranked? They lost about as much as

372
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:16,720
Speaker 4: as Texas has. I think everybody on their defensive line

373
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:20,360
Speaker 4: was drafted. Uh, and so they're they're ranked high. It's

374
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:23,640
Speaker 4: a great start to the finish, but you have no

375
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:26,680
Speaker 4: idea if this is you know, the type of matchup

376
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:31,680
Speaker 4: that you you're going to be talking about in say October?

377
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:34,639
Speaker 4: Is it? Does it have the same cachet? Does it?

378
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:37,359
Speaker 4: Did it that it had to start the season because

379
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:39,800
Speaker 4: of one of the two teams and the brands and

380
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:43,080
Speaker 4: two where the team's finished last year, and so uh,

381
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 4: I don't want to be Debbie Downer it's a great

382
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:49,080
Speaker 4: matchup to start college football, but we have no idea

383
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:51,800
Speaker 4: who should be ranked where, and we won't know that

384
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:56,000
Speaker 4: until we get out of this somewhat preseason schedule. For

385
00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:58,320
Speaker 4: most college football teams to start.

386
00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:01,640
Speaker 2: The year, it better be a great matchup because there

387
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:04,400
Speaker 2: will be some alumni that have They're gonna be very

388
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:07,879
Speaker 2: mad about the checks they wrote to the universities for

389
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 2: the NIO money paid to the athletes for those two

390
00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:14,240
Speaker 2: teams because their salary cap. I say that air quotes

391
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:18,120
Speaker 2: is quite high, even though Sark is like, Nah, it's

392
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:21,240
Speaker 2: not that high. It is high, and it's high at

393
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 2: both places, but that's still that's gonna be a fun one.

394
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:26,880
Speaker 1: There'll be some some sweet NFL talent there for sure.

395
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:28,640
Speaker 4: If you want to know what I'm impressed with Sark

396
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:32,400
Speaker 4: About Sark, I'm impressed with of his ability to keep

397
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:35,040
Speaker 4: Arch at Texas. I Mean, I know there's some components

398
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:37,520
Speaker 4: in that, but I think he just got what a

399
00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:40,720
Speaker 4: young man that is wired right. But my grip for

400
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:43,960
Speaker 4: the season is no head coaches in college or most

401
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:48,720
Speaker 4: major college programs don't have to develop quarterbacks anymore. He

402
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 4: just go to the portal and find the next best guy,

403
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:53,399
Speaker 4: plug him in, and the next year we're going to

404
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:55,920
Speaker 4: do the exact same things. If you're able to hold

405
00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:59,200
Speaker 4: onto your guy and continue to recruit, convince a guy

406
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:02,240
Speaker 4: like arch Man that it's in your best interest to

407
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:04,760
Speaker 4: come here and learn, and then it's yours for a

408
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 4: couple of years if you choose to go past the

409
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:11,200
Speaker 4: one year. I think is outstanding and and Sark has

410
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:14,440
Speaker 4: done a hell of a job with that, convincing him

411
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:18,400
Speaker 4: to sit behind yours and learn and then you know yours.

412
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:20,440
Speaker 4: It says a whole nother story, but he was kind

413
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:22,640
Speaker 4: of ushered out the door, but with having another year

414
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:25,720
Speaker 4: of eligibility. But I think that's a hell of a

415
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:28,240
Speaker 4: deal because in this day and age, you just don't

416
00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:33,280
Speaker 4: see development. You see replacement, not development. On the college

417
00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:34,880
Speaker 4: level when it comes to quarterbacks.

418
00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:38,919
Speaker 1: Dre' is certainly not wrong about that. There is no question.

419
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:41,040
Speaker 2: All we get back my partner up in the booth

00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:45,240
Speaker 2: of things to talk about with nd Klu, but he

443
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:50,199
Speaker 2: basically set us straight on our newest ipp player. And

444
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:53,080
Speaker 2: I'm not even gonna try and pronounce hey guys name.

00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:02,879
Speaker 1: Two Hill has him for a sacked on third.

450
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:05,520
Speaker 3: Down, big sack at a big time Texans down three about

451
00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:08,520
Speaker 3: to get the rock back. I got two Hills name

452
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:11,520
Speaker 3: right of course into b C UNDBC.

453
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:14,800
Speaker 1: I like Kevin handle that one. I was about to say, guy,

454
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:17,200
Speaker 1: you guys got it. He got he got I mean,

455
00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 1: I'm not saying it.

456
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:19,400
Speaker 5: I think I got it.

457
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:21,639
Speaker 3: But it was like, is that the right way to

458
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:23,840
Speaker 3: say because it just happened so fast?

459
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:25,760
Speaker 2: When I looked at the phonetic spelling of him, like

460
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:26,840
Speaker 2: that's easy, und b c.

461
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:31,119
Speaker 3: Oh, it's easy, No, I know, butatically, yeah, it doesn't.

462
00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:34,560
Speaker 3: Names take a while to roll off the tongue second nature.

463
00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:39,160
Speaker 3: But undeb C is the international pathway player that got

464
00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:40,959
Speaker 3: a sack in that game. Great to see he blocks

465
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:42,879
Speaker 3: out the sun my goodness. In fact, I want to

466
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:44,800
Speaker 3: get into his opinion on him. How you doing, my friend?

467
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:48,479
Speaker 6: And is intobuis? And the reason I know this is

468
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:50,840
Speaker 6: we're from the same tribe. And if you look at

469
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:55,760
Speaker 6: his last name, his last name starts in du. My

470
00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:58,600
Speaker 6: first name starts in du So. As soon as I

471
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:00,960
Speaker 6: saw his name when I was getting ready for the game,

472
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:03,120
Speaker 6: I was like, oh, okay, so he's an Ebo man.

473
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:06,560
Speaker 5: So yes, this is Oh that's right.

474
00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:09,679
Speaker 3: The boo is in there too. Yeah, my bad, the

475
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:11,280
Speaker 3: boo is in there. I forgot about the boo.

476
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:14,000
Speaker 2: I mean, it's almost as if you just as you

477
00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:15,800
Speaker 2: look at it, when you hear the you're like, oh,

478
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:19,920
Speaker 2: just kind of pronounce each you know, exactly, valve as

479
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:20,440
Speaker 2: you go through.

480
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:23,280
Speaker 3: In some sense, it's true, you know, and you're right.

481
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:27,280
Speaker 3: The Nigerian names are largely phonetical. It's kind of like

482
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:30,239
Speaker 3: if you just follow along, but you know, when you

483
00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:34,199
Speaker 3: look at consonants jammed together, sometimes it can feel like,

484
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:36,080
Speaker 3: oh what am I getting into here?

485
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:39,720
Speaker 6: So even for me when I when I see some

486
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:41,879
Speaker 6: of these names, I'm like, oh, I'm about to have

487
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:46,240
Speaker 6: my Nigerian card revoked if I don't pronounce yeah, just

488
00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:49,320
Speaker 6: pronounced every letter, and I is always pronounced e.

489
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:53,160
Speaker 5: So okay.

490
00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:55,920
Speaker 1: It's like smolling names. Sometimes the G is an N

491
00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:59,359
Speaker 1: or a like punga.

492
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:02,639
Speaker 2: Put ups this name n D and give us your

493
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:05,760
Speaker 2: thoughtssery arian erser.

494
00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:07,600
Speaker 1: What'd you think of the big fella on Saturday.

495
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:11,840
Speaker 6: Initially, John, I was like, when I heard about what

496
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:14,720
Speaker 6: his potential play count was gonna be, and I've heard

497
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:17,480
Speaker 6: them rave about him throughout camp. I've heard and read

498
00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:20,159
Speaker 6: from you about him. So when I saw him play

499
00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:22,399
Speaker 6: and he only did the first you know, play the

500
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:24,520
Speaker 6: first drive, but I saw his movement, I saw the

501
00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:29,800
Speaker 6: athleticism and the technique and this guy is a rookie,

502
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:31,960
Speaker 6: but he plays and he approaches the game like a

503
00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:35,960
Speaker 6: vet and I see it. It's it's it's amazing, and

504
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:38,080
Speaker 6: I'm looking forward to see him in the regular season

505
00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:40,439
Speaker 6: where he has to pick up different line stunts that

506
00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:43,560
Speaker 6: he may not see in the preseason. But everything that

507
00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:45,720
Speaker 6: I saw, he's lived up to the hype. I only

508
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:48,320
Speaker 6: saw a couple of practices, so I was really anxious

509
00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:50,399
Speaker 6: to see him in a game. And this is a

510
00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:53,439
Speaker 6: guy that you just feel confident even though he's a rookie,

511
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:55,640
Speaker 6: and that doesn't mean he's going to shut down every

512
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:58,639
Speaker 6: pass rusher. You know, in the regular season, there's some

513
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:01,399
Speaker 6: great pass rushers that he's gonna but man, I just

514
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:04,719
Speaker 6: feel like, unlike, it feels very similar to back when

515
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 6: Dwayne Brown was on this team, where you say you

516
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:11,400
Speaker 6: know what, even though he's a rookie, I'm expecting him

517
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:13,600
Speaker 6: to play and play well in his first season.

518
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:17,200
Speaker 3: What about the running game in general on that opening

519
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:19,560
Speaker 3: drive and what it's set up through the air as

520
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:22,000
Speaker 3: they scored to answer the Minnesota field goal.

521
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:24,959
Speaker 6: And here's the thing about that running game. You know,

522
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:26,640
Speaker 6: you want to give credit to all the running backs

523
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:28,200
Speaker 6: who touched the ball and they were picking up the

524
00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:30,680
Speaker 6: positive yards, but what I noticed a lot of those

525
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:33,600
Speaker 6: guys weren't getting touched until two three yards down the field.

526
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:37,400
Speaker 6: And just overall versatility with the play calling. And it's

527
00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:39,680
Speaker 6: easy to be versatile with the play calling when you're

528
00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:42,160
Speaker 6: having success throwing the ball, when you're having success running

529
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:44,920
Speaker 6: the ball, when your offensive line is protecting the quarterback

530
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:47,399
Speaker 6: and opening up small holes for the running backs that

531
00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:51,199
Speaker 6: first drive. If it was your first team offense that

532
00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:53,359
Speaker 6: had that first drive, I would have felt good about

533
00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:55,920
Speaker 6: it and I would have stated, Okay, get him out

534
00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:58,440
Speaker 6: of the game. But it coming from your second team,

535
00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:01,920
Speaker 6: mainly your second team, Davis Mills, it just makes you

536
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:04,720
Speaker 6: feel that much better about the depth and the offensive

537
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:05,520
Speaker 6: line competition.

538
00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:09,159
Speaker 2: Indy Clue with us, Indy, you know, the defensive line

539
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:12,040
Speaker 2: better than anybody. You and Seth can see things that

540
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:14,600
Speaker 2: a lot of people aren't gonna see. Tommy TOGIAI we

541
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:17,600
Speaker 2: pointed out a couple of times during the broadcast what

542
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:20,120
Speaker 2: he was able to do. And he almost doesn't even

543
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:22,119
Speaker 2: look like a defensive lineman because he's like six to

544
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:22,960
Speaker 2: one and a half.

545
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:24,320
Speaker 1: I mean, he's lucky if.

546
00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:27,080
Speaker 2: He gets the six to two, but he's stout. He's

547
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:30,120
Speaker 2: very strong, like upstairs, like he is built. I mean

548
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:34,720
Speaker 2: he's big upfront up top. But he had a pretty

549
00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:36,960
Speaker 2: solid game after that. I don't know that anything was

550
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:41,600
Speaker 2: really excitable about the defensive line, but just Togia and

551
00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:43,600
Speaker 2: what you're able to see from a guy that plays

552
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:46,520
Speaker 2: on the interior that kind does it look like an

553
00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:48,480
Speaker 2: interior guy, but played really really.

554
00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:49,680
Speaker 1: Well the other day. What'd you think of him in

555
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:50,639
Speaker 1: the defensive line?

556
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:54,320
Speaker 6: You know, he's a guy that is gonna add depth

557
00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 6: and look, it's a long season. Guys are gonna get

558
00:26:57,200 --> 00:26:59,760
Speaker 6: nicked up. He's one of those guys John that when

559
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:02,240
Speaker 6: you find out or you look like, oh he's starting

560
00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:05,040
Speaker 6: this week, you don't expect to drop off. And it's

561
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:09,000
Speaker 6: because of his consistency. It's because of his hand placement.

562
00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:11,000
Speaker 6: It's because of his leverage. You know, you and I

563
00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:14,360
Speaker 6: talked about during the broadcast that it's annoying that these

564
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:17,000
Speaker 6: NFL scouts and they're always talking about we want six

565
00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:19,920
Speaker 6: six six y five defensive linemen, but once they get

566
00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:22,159
Speaker 6: on the team, they're preaching leverage, and then we talk

567
00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:25,520
Speaker 6: about low man wins. He does a great job utilizing

568
00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:28,520
Speaker 6: his leverage, and I just like his versatility. And you

569
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:31,200
Speaker 6: know you talked about not really seeing the other guys

570
00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:33,840
Speaker 6: that stood out. Casey two Hills is another one that

571
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:36,080
Speaker 6: I really like. When you talk about depths, when you

572
00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:38,639
Speaker 6: look at the starting four, I think this starting for

573
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:42,040
Speaker 6: a defensive line may be the best in the AFC South,

574
00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:44,119
Speaker 6: And I hope that's not hyperbole. I would have to

575
00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:47,000
Speaker 6: kind of juxtapose it with some of the other d lines,

576
00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:49,600
Speaker 6: but just off the top of my head, especially when

577
00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:52,240
Speaker 6: you factor in Will Anderson and Daniel Hunter, I think

578
00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:55,520
Speaker 6: this is the best defensive line in the in the division.

579
00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:58,240
Speaker 6: And then when you look at guys like Casey two

580
00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:01,959
Speaker 6: Hill with the experience that he has, I love his technique.

581
00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:05,400
Speaker 6: I love his motor and no, I'm not saying motor

582
00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:07,560
Speaker 6: because he's a white guy. I'm saying motive because this

583
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:11,159
Speaker 6: guy does go all out every single play regardless of

584
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:13,800
Speaker 6: his race. That he's just a good football player. I'm

585
00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:16,879
Speaker 6: excited about those guys. So there's a lot of depth

586
00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:19,440
Speaker 6: that's been added to an already great front four.

587
00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:22,399
Speaker 5: You went there with motor. See that's the thing.

588
00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:25,360
Speaker 6: You know. As soon as I said it, I was like, oh, geez.

589
00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 5: No, no, no, no.

590
00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:28,600
Speaker 3: It's funny to bring that up because these conversations come

591
00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:31,280
Speaker 3: up and I like to say Will has a relentless motor,

592
00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:33,760
Speaker 3: and it's like, are you just doing that to prove

593
00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:36,600
Speaker 3: that you're No. No, Will has an amazing owner. It

594
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:39,280
Speaker 3: just doesn't stop right. He does got the game face.

595
00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:42,200
Speaker 3: But and I'll go with you on that D line.

596
00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:45,240
Speaker 3: Take when you look at the depth of this defensive line,

597
00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:47,040
Speaker 3: it's one of the top two or three in the league.

598
00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:47,600
Speaker 5: It's got to be.

599
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:50,160
Speaker 3: When you look at bringing Barnett off the bench and

600
00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:52,280
Speaker 3: last year he scores two touchdowns for you, I mean,

601
00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:55,080
Speaker 3: there are things that happen that are magical with this

602
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:58,560
Speaker 3: front four. And it's all coached by Jamiico, Ryans, Matt Burke,

603
00:28:59,000 --> 00:28:59,560
Speaker 3: rod Wright.

604
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:01,120
Speaker 5: So tell me this ND.

605
00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:04,960
Speaker 3: We have the privilege of having the production meeting the

606
00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:07,680
Speaker 3: day before the game for the broadcast, and this happens

607
00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:10,760
Speaker 3: every week around the league. It's usually CBS, Fox and

608
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:14,920
Speaker 3: other networks ESPN where they have a production meeting with

609
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:17,560
Speaker 3: the coach, maybe the GM, maybe a couple of players.

610
00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:20,200
Speaker 3: But we had a chance to visit with Demiko, Nick Caley,

611
00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:22,360
Speaker 3: Nick Assirio, Titus Howard.

612
00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:23,680
Speaker 5: So that was really good.

613
00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:27,560
Speaker 3: Tell the listener a little bit about what your takeaways

614
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:31,360
Speaker 3: were from that, because it's off the record, yet stuff

615
00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:35,600
Speaker 3: is delivered to help amplify the knowledge of the broadcasters

616
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:37,880
Speaker 3: about the team and things they can share with the audience.

617
00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:39,080
Speaker 5: So what did you take away?

618
00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:40,880
Speaker 3: Give me a couple of takeaways from that meeting that

619
00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:42,360
Speaker 3: we had on Friday with the staff.

620
00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:46,520
Speaker 6: The one big one that resonated with me didn't have

621
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:49,200
Speaker 6: anything to do with football. It didn't have anything to

622
00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:51,960
Speaker 6: do with x's and o's and I don't know and

623
00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:55,080
Speaker 6: did not know anything about Nick Hayley. But there was

624
00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:57,440
Speaker 6: a question and I wasn't sure if I should bring

625
00:29:57,480 --> 00:29:59,720
Speaker 6: this up on air, but fin you know, I'll bring

626
00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:01,880
Speaker 6: it up here when I say on air during the

627
00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:06,560
Speaker 6: television during the game. But they asked Nick Kayley about

628
00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:10,800
Speaker 6: Aziz al Shaire and his story and you know where

629
00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:13,680
Speaker 6: he came from, from being homeless to going to fau

630
00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:17,840
Speaker 6: to where he's at now, and he got emotional. He

631
00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:20,960
Speaker 6: had to stop talking, he had to, you know, kind

632
00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:24,080
Speaker 6: of gather himself. And what that told me is a

633
00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:27,600
Speaker 6: former player, this guy cares about his players. I mean,

634
00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:29,920
Speaker 6: as these is not part of his position group, he's

635
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:32,040
Speaker 6: not on the offensive side of the ball. He did

636
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:34,480
Speaker 6: recruit him in college and he knows his story and

637
00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:37,360
Speaker 6: apparently he kept in touch with him even after their

638
00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:39,880
Speaker 6: past went in different directions and now they're back on

639
00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:42,680
Speaker 6: the same team. But when he broke down and not

640
00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:44,920
Speaker 6: like a punk. You know, I don't want anybody tweeting

641
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:46,840
Speaker 6: at him calling him a punk, but you know when

642
00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:50,120
Speaker 6: he broke down because he truly cares for that guy

643
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:53,120
Speaker 6: and he's amazed at where he's, where he's at and

644
00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:56,080
Speaker 6: where he's come from. He just told me, like, man,

645
00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:58,640
Speaker 6: this guy cares about his players. And you know who

646
00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:01,440
Speaker 6: else notices that the player, Like when you hear about

647
00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:03,120
Speaker 6: guys saying they're going to run through a brick roll

648
00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:05,200
Speaker 6: for a certain coach, is a guy like Nick Kayley.

649
00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:08,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, that that moment kind of come because I know

650
00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:11,080
Speaker 2: last year when we were in a production meeting with Disease,

651
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:14,840
Speaker 2: when he was done, I mean, we went Typically you

652
00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:17,760
Speaker 2: go with the player eight ten minutes, maybe you get

653
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:20,120
Speaker 2: to get a few good nuggets, and if the guy

654
00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:21,800
Speaker 2: is good, you know, you might go a little bit

655
00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:24,080
Speaker 2: longer than that because he's enjoying the discussion. We're enjoying

656
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:26,760
Speaker 2: the discussion. We went for about forty five minutes last

657
00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:29,600
Speaker 2: year with Disease. It was before the Giants game. I

658
00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:31,960
Speaker 2: don't think he played in the Steelers game. Maybe he did,

659
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:33,600
Speaker 2: but he got him for the Giants game and he

660
00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:35,440
Speaker 2: was in there for about forty five minutes with us,

661
00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:40,280
Speaker 2: and when he left, I just was I want to

662
00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:42,200
Speaker 2: hug this guy. I want this guy to stay with

663
00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:43,040
Speaker 2: this organization.

664
00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:44,640
Speaker 5: I wanted to read you my life.

665
00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:48,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, as long as humanly possible, I wanted that guy

666
00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:51,800
Speaker 2: near me. And here's the thing, Indyan, and this is

667
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:53,560
Speaker 2: what I think this organization.

668
00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:55,120
Speaker 1: We talk about swarm all the time.

669
00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:59,800
Speaker 2: We talk about the things that Texans players that come

670
00:31:59,840 --> 00:32:02,080
Speaker 2: in here, you want them to be able to do.

671
00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:05,280
Speaker 2: And indeed, you probably have known many of these You

672
00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:08,680
Speaker 2: were this way off the field. You are a teddy bear,

673
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:10,640
Speaker 2: You're like the nicest guy we've ever seen. But on

674
00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:13,440
Speaker 2: the field, you flip the switch and a Ease is

675
00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:16,480
Speaker 2: exactly that way. Off the field, you got a discussion

676
00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:19,240
Speaker 2: with Disease about anything, and when he starts telling you

677
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:21,440
Speaker 2: his life story, you're like, oh my goodness. He is

678
00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:25,120
Speaker 2: off the field the most gentle human being like you arend.

679
00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:28,320
Speaker 1: But on the field that switch flips.

680
00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:31,840
Speaker 2: It goes from being high I'm azz too, I'm gonna

681
00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:35,120
Speaker 2: bleep your bleep up like in a moment, and it

682
00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:38,200
Speaker 2: feels like that's what this team has really, Yeah, all

683
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:39,160
Speaker 2: the swarm and all that.

684
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:41,080
Speaker 1: It feels like they've got more of.

685
00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:42,760
Speaker 2: Those guys than they've ever had in d What are

686
00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:44,480
Speaker 2: your thoughts?

687
00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:47,280
Speaker 6: None? You love that? I mean, if you really want

688
00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:50,040
Speaker 6: to see what this team's about, what this defense is about,

689
00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:52,600
Speaker 6: just come out to a practice. I mean, you mentioned

690
00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:55,360
Speaker 6: Azase and that's why it hurts me when he's been

691
00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:58,280
Speaker 6: branded or painted as this bad guy, this dirty player.

692
00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:01,480
Speaker 6: He's just intense. He's playing football the way we were

693
00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:03,360
Speaker 6: taught to play football. And I know it's a new

694
00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:05,680
Speaker 6: day and age and you have to kind of adjust

695
00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:07,760
Speaker 6: to it, but when you know his story. When you

696
00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:09,840
Speaker 6: know him as a person and then you see some

697
00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:12,440
Speaker 6: of what you may call questionable plays. I don't think

698
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:14,920
Speaker 6: any of them are questionable. He just plays, you know,

699
00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:18,280
Speaker 6: full speed. You know you hate to hear the way

700
00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:20,960
Speaker 6: and see the way he's kind of been vilified around

701
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:23,320
Speaker 6: the NFL. But a lot of those guys, you know

702
00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:26,120
Speaker 6: Danil Hunter, I had a chance to talk to him, and,

703
00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:29,080
Speaker 6: like you said, just a nice guy, just a great guy.

704
00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:32,040
Speaker 6: Then you see him out there, he's a maniac. Jalen

705
00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:35,600
Speaker 6: Petrie might be the nicest human beings that you've ever met,

706
00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:37,960
Speaker 6: but he's just a tackling machine. He wants to knock

707
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:39,600
Speaker 6: your head off when you get him on the field.

708
00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:43,080
Speaker 6: And guess who was really like that? Tmiko Ryans. I mean,

709
00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:45,080
Speaker 6: this was a guy when I played with him for

710
00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:47,520
Speaker 6: three years, he was in the locker room before anybody

711
00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:49,920
Speaker 6: reading his scriptures. But then when we get on the

712
00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:53,080
Speaker 6: field on Sunday, he seems like he's deemon possessed and

713
00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:54,920
Speaker 6: he was a cursing I'm just talking about the way

714
00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:59,200
Speaker 6: he plays and the way he had joy in knocking

715
00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:02,080
Speaker 6: people out. That's the Miko Ryans And it's pretty cool

716
00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:05,960
Speaker 6: to see this entire defense take that same personality. If

717
00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:08,560
Speaker 6: that can carry over to the offense, man, it's gonna

718
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:09,880
Speaker 6: be a special, special season.

719
00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:14,080
Speaker 3: Okay, what is this week like for the team? Here

720
00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:16,800
Speaker 3: we are, this is the middle of it all. Really,

721
00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:19,719
Speaker 3: I know we're several weeks in, but you played a

722
00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:22,640
Speaker 3: preseason game, you have a joint practice Thursday of another game,

723
00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:25,000
Speaker 3: and then you have all of next week another joint practice,

724
00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:27,400
Speaker 3: another game on the road. Get a long way to

725
00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:29,680
Speaker 3: go yet, it's gonna all happen very quickly at the

726
00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:31,799
Speaker 3: same time, kind of two things happening at once.

727
00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:32,000
Speaker 7: Here.

728
00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:34,120
Speaker 5: What is this week like for the players?

729
00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:36,560
Speaker 6: Indeed, Well, it's cool what you brought up to the

730
00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:39,719
Speaker 6: joint practice. That's what breaks everything up, because now you're

731
00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:42,160
Speaker 6: starting to feel like Groundhall Day, you know the movie

732
00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:44,759
Speaker 6: where you wake up and everything's the same day in

733
00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:47,360
Speaker 6: and day out. Now that you've had a chance to

734
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:50,239
Speaker 6: get back from West Virginia, a lot of the starters

735
00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:52,239
Speaker 6: they didn't play, so they're gonna be kind of a

736
00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:54,440
Speaker 6: little bit anxious to get back on the practice field.

737
00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:57,239
Speaker 6: And then Thursday you have the Panthers stepping on your

738
00:34:57,280 --> 00:34:59,920
Speaker 6: practice field. This is something you don't see because the

739
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:02,400
Speaker 6: hammers aren't really out there. There'll be a couple of

740
00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:05,879
Speaker 6: fights and scuffles, but your practice field that means more

741
00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:09,120
Speaker 6: to you than your actual stadium, and just go ask

742
00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:11,600
Speaker 6: the player because that's where you're at every day of

743
00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:14,680
Speaker 6: the week. So when you see these these yahoos with

744
00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:18,600
Speaker 6: different uniforms actually walking onto your practice field and throwing

745
00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:21,560
Speaker 6: their orange slices onto your you know, onto the grass

746
00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:23,279
Speaker 6: where your guys have to go pick it up, like,

747
00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:26,399
Speaker 6: you want to defend that as much, if not more

748
00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:29,719
Speaker 6: than the home stadium because that's that's like your every day,

749
00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:33,000
Speaker 6: that's your second home. So it's gonna be pretty intense,

750
00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:35,080
Speaker 6: and it's pretty cool just to kind of that break

751
00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:37,080
Speaker 6: in the day where you're like, oh no, we're not

752
00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:39,320
Speaker 6: gonna let these panthers come in here and out practice

753
00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:41,799
Speaker 6: us on our practice field. So that's gonna give them

754
00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:44,120
Speaker 6: something else to look flok forward too. Then you have

755
00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:46,359
Speaker 6: the game, and then you mentioned then you're getting ready

756
00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:49,600
Speaker 6: for the last preseason game, and we all know leading

757
00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:52,920
Speaker 6: into that last preseason game, you're really just getting ready

758
00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:55,399
Speaker 6: for Week one. So it's gonna move pretty fast here

759
00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:56,040
Speaker 6: for the players.

760
00:35:56,600 --> 00:35:59,800
Speaker 3: Cut your arn slices off my practice seal.

761
00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:01,920
Speaker 4: How dare you.

762
00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:06,120
Speaker 5: They're all chewed up, the peals are there. It's disgusting.

763
00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:07,120
Speaker 1: It's the best ever.

764
00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:09,200
Speaker 2: That's one of the things I remember as a kid

765
00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:12,400
Speaker 2: my mom in the kitchen. My dad coached at a

766
00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:14,799
Speaker 2: small school in Wisconsin before we moved here, and my

767
00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:18,120
Speaker 2: mom would be slicing orange slices for his players and

768
00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:19,960
Speaker 2: they would just have buckets of them, and I always

769
00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:22,520
Speaker 2: thought that was the coolest thing. I associated for the

770
00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:26,520
Speaker 2: longest time orange slices with football, like they just kind

771
00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:28,600
Speaker 2: of go hand in hand. And then I got here

772
00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:30,359
Speaker 2: to Texas and it was like, they didn't even give

773
00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:32,200
Speaker 2: us water. The first year I was here, we got

774
00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:32,920
Speaker 2: ice chips.

775
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:34,160
Speaker 5: Oh you did. Junction boys.

776
00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:37,480
Speaker 2: They were junction boys styles, Like, we got to change this.

777
00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:39,600
Speaker 2: Luckily we had a new trainer coming the next next

778
00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:40,840
Speaker 2: year and Coach d was like, no, no.

779
00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:44,920
Speaker 1: No, we drink water. Water's good, sleep is good. Orange

780
00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:46,560
Speaker 1: slices say, we didn't have as many.

781
00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:48,840
Speaker 3: And I had to explain to some of the younglings

782
00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:51,600
Speaker 3: here what the junction boys were. Okay, but it's okay

783
00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:53,720
Speaker 3: because that's just part of history anyway.

784
00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:56,160
Speaker 5: And d how is the TV broadcast?

785
00:36:57,040 --> 00:36:59,480
Speaker 6: Oh, it's always good. It's always a great time, especially

786
00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:02,920
Speaker 6: now you know with John up there. There was one

787
00:37:03,280 --> 00:37:07,160
Speaker 6: little hitch from what I remember was when CJ was

788
00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:10,000
Speaker 6: being interviewed and what I loved about it, and we

789
00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:11,840
Speaker 6: didn't have a chance to talk about it. He's so

790
00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:15,480
Speaker 6: in tune with what's going on on the field. He

791
00:37:15,600 --> 00:37:18,560
Speaker 6: was being interviewed in the third quarter, but his attention

792
00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:20,440
Speaker 6: was on the field, and I was just thinking to

793
00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:23,400
Speaker 6: myself as I was watching it and shout out to

794
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:26,480
Speaker 6: Shelby for trying to keep it all together. That's what

795
00:37:26,520 --> 00:37:28,480
Speaker 6: I want my quarterback to be, a guy that's so

796
00:37:28,600 --> 00:37:31,080
Speaker 6: in tune with the team that in the third quarter

797
00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:34,160
Speaker 6: of a preseason game, his focus is on the drive.

798
00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:36,839
Speaker 6: So I thought that was funny. It was hard for

799
00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:39,400
Speaker 6: the broadcast crew, but it was pretty cool for a

800
00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:41,960
Speaker 6: football fan to see how in tune your quarterback is.

801
00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:45,000
Speaker 2: Indeed, Klue one of my favorites man. I love getting

802
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:47,000
Speaker 2: to stand next to him. Kevin Coogler up in a booth.

803
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:49,359
Speaker 2: We had a great time this past week, and we'll

804
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:52,760
Speaker 2: have another one on Saturday, kickoff noon NI against Carolina Panthers.

805
00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:56,040
Speaker 2: You can see in OKTRK channel thirteen if you're somehow

806
00:37:56,200 --> 00:37:59,319
Speaker 2: traveling and you're going somewhere else. Our game because it's

807
00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:01,520
Speaker 2: home game, and our broadcast will then be featured on

808
00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:03,960
Speaker 2: NFL Network, so you can see that. If you're out

809
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:05,919
Speaker 2: in traveling and you don't have a way to see

810
00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:08,000
Speaker 2: the game live, well you can watch on NFL Network.

811
00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:09,880
Speaker 2: I don't know if you can see it at noon

812
00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:11,759
Speaker 2: on Saturday, but you'll eventually be able to see it

813
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:13,759
Speaker 2: on NFL Network if you haven't put it on your

814
00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:16,760
Speaker 2: DVR up in the cloud or however you do it nowadays,

815
00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:19,560
Speaker 2: because we all do things differently nowadays. Then we used

816
00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:21,120
Speaker 2: to do them when we just had to hit the

817
00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:23,560
Speaker 2: VCR button and hope it recorded, and then you recorded

818
00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:24,439
Speaker 2: over friends, and then.

819
00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:26,080
Speaker 1: You were really mad. So there you go.

820
00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:29,040
Speaker 2: All right, Coming up next, John McClain, the General, the

821
00:38:29,080 --> 00:38:31,400
Speaker 2: Hall of Famer, He will join us, gave us his thoughts.

822
00:38:31,640 --> 00:38:33,719
Speaker 1: Next right here on Texans All Access.

823
00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:36,680
Speaker 2: All right, here we go, final segment of Monday edition

824
00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:39,640
Speaker 2: of Texas All Access before we turn it over to

825
00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:42,759
Speaker 2: Area forty five. I'm your host, John Harris, Football on

826
00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:46,759
Speaker 2: a sideline reporter. Tough day for the Texans, one of

827
00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:49,000
Speaker 2: our favorites, and I'm not alone when I say this,

828
00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:52,640
Speaker 2: Brevin Jordan injured at practice. Don't know the status. I'm

829
00:38:52,680 --> 00:38:56,160
Speaker 2: sure there will be reports coming out, but as we

830
00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:59,240
Speaker 2: found out last week at the Greenbrier with CJ. Garner Johnson,

831
00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:01,480
Speaker 2: take it all over the grain of salt until you

832
00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:07,040
Speaker 2: get some sort of formal announcement if you will, about

833
00:39:07,120 --> 00:39:10,959
Speaker 2: what happened with Brev. I just the scene itself was tough.

834
00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:13,880
Speaker 2: It's tough to talk about. I love the man and

835
00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:17,959
Speaker 2: I hope he's able to come back sooner than what

836
00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:21,919
Speaker 2: many people may expect. So that was tough news to hear. Okay,

837
00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:24,400
Speaker 2: let's finish the show up as strongly as we possibly can.

838
00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:25,840
Speaker 2: That means we bring in the Hall of Fame with

839
00:39:25,880 --> 00:39:28,719
Speaker 2: the General John McClain, who sat down with me and

840
00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:32,359
Speaker 2: Mark and gave his thoughts about what he saw right

841
00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:34,879
Speaker 2: off the bat Texans versus the Vikings.

842
00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:38,680
Speaker 7: I thought that first series with Davis Mills at quarterback

843
00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:42,960
Speaker 7: was as crisp as you could get. Boom boom boom,

844
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:47,160
Speaker 7: straight down the field top Mills looked great. Started to

845
00:39:47,239 --> 00:39:50,759
Speaker 7: think after the season, I think did he is his

846
00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:54,439
Speaker 7: extension this year or did he sign for next year?

847
00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:56,799
Speaker 7: I think his contract is up.

848
00:39:56,920 --> 00:39:59,640
Speaker 1: Right after this just this year, one year was finished.

849
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:02,840
Speaker 7: I think that Nick Serio has got to do some

850
00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:08,719
Speaker 7: serious thinking and Dimiko and then Davis Mills has got

851
00:40:08,760 --> 00:40:12,000
Speaker 7: to do some serious thinking. Does he want to sign

852
00:40:12,080 --> 00:40:15,880
Speaker 7: a multier extension here? To back up CJ. Stroud? He

853
00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:19,600
Speaker 7: and his wife are very comfortable and happy year. Does

854
00:40:19,640 --> 00:40:21,800
Speaker 7: he want to try to catch on with another team?

855
00:40:22,239 --> 00:40:24,480
Speaker 7: He knows what it's like to play for a bad

856
00:40:24,520 --> 00:40:27,759
Speaker 7: team like he did when he was a rookie who

857
00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:31,160
Speaker 7: had some good games. So I just think right now,

858
00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:34,920
Speaker 7: if you're a Texans fan, that you are very comfortable

859
00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:38,920
Speaker 7: that Davis Mills has to play. And I thought there

860
00:40:38,920 --> 00:40:41,719
Speaker 7: were a lot of players that stood out. You know,

861
00:40:41,760 --> 00:40:44,160
Speaker 7: you guys talk about speed. There were a bunch of

862
00:40:44,640 --> 00:40:49,000
Speaker 7: defensive players and John Tewett. One of the reasons I

863
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:52,400
Speaker 7: I like, let's see, how can I not offend Mark

864
00:40:53,320 --> 00:40:59,760
Speaker 7: like watching you and Andy, but especially you, is because

865
00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:03,840
Speaker 7: you've seen everything every day and you know football, so

866
00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:07,600
Speaker 7: I like hearing your opinions about the technical stuff and

867
00:41:07,680 --> 00:41:10,560
Speaker 7: the players. And you do a great job not just

868
00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:15,000
Speaker 7: on this show but also on TV. But watching those guys.

869
00:41:15,360 --> 00:41:17,960
Speaker 7: You said two weeks ago when we were sweating over

870
00:41:18,760 --> 00:41:21,560
Speaker 7: at practice, that you said, I don't know which side

871
00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:24,799
Speaker 7: he's going to be on, but Ersery's going to be

872
00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:27,560
Speaker 7: in the lineup. And I think the more we see

873
00:41:27,600 --> 00:41:32,080
Speaker 7: of Ursery, the more impressive impressive he is. Every year

874
00:41:32,680 --> 00:41:36,160
Speaker 7: they're a rookie offensive lineman who play well and stand

875
00:41:36,239 --> 00:41:38,440
Speaker 7: out and they don't have to be taken in the

876
00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:42,400
Speaker 7: first round. And I think based on the early returns

877
00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:48,920
Speaker 7: of the offseason practice and now preseason games, arionte Ersery

878
00:41:49,120 --> 00:41:54,800
Speaker 7: is here to stay. And you know, Kenyon Green didn't

879
00:41:54,840 --> 00:41:58,160
Speaker 7: work out, Juice scrubs third year, don't know if he's

880
00:41:58,200 --> 00:42:04,400
Speaker 7: gonna play or not, and Blake Fisher really struggled. Maybe

881
00:42:04,600 --> 00:42:08,080
Speaker 7: Ursery's a second round pick that they've hit on, and

882
00:42:08,160 --> 00:42:11,399
Speaker 7: this kid is going to play maybe right backle as

883
00:42:11,440 --> 00:42:15,160
Speaker 7: a rookie. When Cam Robinson comes back. Robinson's on a

884
00:42:15,160 --> 00:42:18,520
Speaker 7: one year deal, we'll move to the left side. It

885
00:42:18,680 --> 00:42:22,200
Speaker 7: was fun watching the offense go down the field and

886
00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:26,040
Speaker 7: the offensive line look good. Now I realize both teams

887
00:42:26,080 --> 00:42:28,400
Speaker 7: held out a lot of starters before what you're looking

888
00:42:28,440 --> 00:42:32,480
Speaker 7: at at a time like that, they look good. Darry Gumberwally,

889
00:42:33,360 --> 00:42:37,000
Speaker 7: he's made. They're gonna have a tough decisions to make

890
00:42:37,880 --> 00:42:41,880
Speaker 7: and running back. Now, if Joe Mixon isn't available to

891
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:45,040
Speaker 7: start the season, then it'll be won't be as difficult.

892
00:42:45,600 --> 00:42:47,640
Speaker 7: You know, what he marks is going to make the team.

893
00:42:48,320 --> 00:42:51,120
Speaker 7: You know, Nick Chubb and Joe Mixon are going to

894
00:42:51,160 --> 00:42:54,680
Speaker 7: make the team. And darry because he is so versabile

895
00:42:55,160 --> 00:42:58,439
Speaker 7: and so valuable in that role and he averaged five

896
00:42:58,440 --> 00:43:02,680
Speaker 7: point eight yards carry that he's gonna force his way

897
00:43:02,719 --> 00:43:06,600
Speaker 7: onto this roster. But I can't wait to see the

898
00:43:06,719 --> 00:43:11,279
Speaker 7: difficult decisions that Nick Casario Dimiko Ryant's are gonna have

899
00:43:11,840 --> 00:43:13,719
Speaker 7: when they have to cut it down. And one more thing,

900
00:43:14,239 --> 00:43:16,759
Speaker 7: I can't remember the experts I was watching. It might

901
00:43:16,760 --> 00:43:20,200
Speaker 7: have been bro Football Focus talking about Detexans that could

902
00:43:20,280 --> 00:43:23,880
Speaker 7: not are not good at defensive tackle and they're gonna

903
00:43:23,880 --> 00:43:26,480
Speaker 7: have to think about making a trade. And I'm like,

904
00:43:26,680 --> 00:43:30,720
Speaker 7: have you not watched this team defensive tackle? It's gonna

905
00:43:30,719 --> 00:43:33,160
Speaker 7: be one of the toughest cuts on the team. The

906
00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:36,760
Speaker 7: defensive line is gonna be one of the toughest toughest

907
00:43:36,840 --> 00:43:41,240
Speaker 7: cuts on the team. And so I love watching those linemen,

908
00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:46,279
Speaker 7: love watching the dbs. You know Yeast. Yeast has come

909
00:43:46,320 --> 00:43:49,279
Speaker 7: out of nowhere and is making big plays. We knew

910
00:43:49,320 --> 00:43:53,080
Speaker 7: all about speed. But the better these guys do, the

911
00:43:53,120 --> 00:43:57,080
Speaker 7: harder they make it on Caserio and maybe instead of

912
00:43:57,120 --> 00:43:59,920
Speaker 7: cutting guys, he can get low picks for him. And

913
00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:02,960
Speaker 7: we know how he likes to use those low picks

914
00:44:03,239 --> 00:44:04,040
Speaker 7: on draft day.

915
00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:07,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, it definitely does, and can package him to move

916
00:44:07,560 --> 00:44:09,680
Speaker 2: up higher. He can package him to get something next

917
00:44:09,760 --> 00:44:12,319
Speaker 2: year as well. So you're right, John, One position that

918
00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:16,920
Speaker 2: you didn't mention, I think got more interesting on Saturday

919
00:44:17,239 --> 00:44:19,840
Speaker 2: with the performance of Braxton Barrios and John Metchi. Now

920
00:44:19,880 --> 00:44:22,640
Speaker 2: we've seen both of them have pretty solid camps, but

921
00:44:22,960 --> 00:44:26,879
Speaker 2: Braxton really popped with the Braxton had three targets one

922
00:44:26,920 --> 00:44:30,080
Speaker 2: touchdown catch first down, first down, with each of the

923
00:44:30,160 --> 00:44:32,920
Speaker 2: other on third down, so he had a number of targets.

924
00:44:33,120 --> 00:44:37,240
Speaker 2: Mechi led the team with five receptions. This receiver room,

925
00:44:37,360 --> 00:44:40,160
Speaker 2: it just gets more difficult who they're going to keep.

926
00:44:40,280 --> 00:44:42,480
Speaker 2: Exavier Hutchinson had a really good week at the greenbri

927
00:44:42,680 --> 00:44:46,120
Speaker 2: Jade Higgins on Wednesday at the Green Bar was tremendous.

928
00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:50,279
Speaker 2: Receiver seems to be getting just as difficult as a

929
00:44:50,320 --> 00:44:51,280
Speaker 2: lot of other positions.

930
00:44:51,520 --> 00:44:51,840
Speaker 1: General.

931
00:44:51,880 --> 00:44:53,680
Speaker 2: What do you think about Barrios and Mechi and kind

932
00:44:53,680 --> 00:44:56,080
Speaker 2: of how that maybe makes a decision that much more

933
00:44:56,120 --> 00:44:56,880
Speaker 2: difficult a receiver.

934
00:44:58,280 --> 00:45:03,560
Speaker 7: The top four or said, and that's Collins, Higgins, Kirk

935
00:45:03,880 --> 00:45:09,680
Speaker 7: and Noel and so. Then because Barrios shows no signs

936
00:45:09,680 --> 00:45:13,080
Speaker 7: of the injury he had last year, he can return

937
00:45:13,200 --> 00:45:17,360
Speaker 7: kickoff and punts, and he can catch. I would say

938
00:45:17,600 --> 00:45:21,480
Speaker 7: that unless he just bombs out, which I don't expect

939
00:45:21,560 --> 00:45:24,120
Speaker 7: him to do, he's gonna make it. Because he can

940
00:45:24,160 --> 00:45:27,799
Speaker 7: do both returns and he can catch, and he has experience.

941
00:45:28,560 --> 00:45:31,280
Speaker 7: Then you know, I think they could get a pick

942
00:45:31,880 --> 00:45:35,759
Speaker 7: for John Madgie before they could get one of Xavier Hutchinson.

943
00:45:36,280 --> 00:45:41,320
Speaker 7: Hutchinson had two catches, and he's big and he's good

944
00:45:41,360 --> 00:45:45,080
Speaker 7: on special teams. That's the one that's gonna be tough.

945
00:45:45,160 --> 00:45:48,920
Speaker 7: Now Watson, you know Watson two years ago every seventeen

946
00:45:49,040 --> 00:45:51,319
Speaker 7: yards of catch for the Chiefs. Last year, I think

947
00:45:51,360 --> 00:45:56,959
Speaker 7: it was almost fifteen. And Kenny Kenny forced his way

948
00:45:57,000 --> 00:46:00,839
Speaker 7: into the conversation. But if they do, we think they're

949
00:46:00,960 --> 00:46:02,520
Speaker 7: keep five or six.

950
00:46:02,640 --> 00:46:04,000
Speaker 5: That's that's the question.

951
00:46:04,160 --> 00:46:07,200
Speaker 3: At least six maybe I would think at least six,

952
00:46:07,360 --> 00:46:10,160
Speaker 3: maybe seven if you count Barrios as a return guy

953
00:46:10,160 --> 00:46:11,080
Speaker 3: who can do other things.

954
00:46:11,120 --> 00:46:11,840
Speaker 5: Although if.

955
00:46:13,719 --> 00:46:16,759
Speaker 7: All right, I'm counting Barrios as five, then it would

956
00:46:16,800 --> 00:46:20,719
Speaker 7: come down to Matchie and Hutchinson and special teams. I

957
00:46:20,760 --> 00:46:24,600
Speaker 7: don't see him keeping seven receivers because they'd have to

958
00:46:24,640 --> 00:46:29,080
Speaker 7: cut back in another spot and uh so and I

959
00:46:29,120 --> 00:46:33,280
Speaker 7: do think they could get a pick or uh Matchie

960
00:46:33,280 --> 00:46:35,080
Speaker 7: before they could get a pick for Hudgenson.

961
00:46:36,080 --> 00:46:38,440
Speaker 3: Well, last year they kept seven, but Steven Sims was

962
00:46:38,440 --> 00:46:40,000
Speaker 3: one of them as a return guy.

963
00:46:40,160 --> 00:46:43,440
Speaker 5: So we'll see. And those Mechi was I mean not Mechi.

964
00:46:43,520 --> 00:46:46,799
Speaker 3: Metchi had five catches you look good burios receptions where

965
00:46:46,800 --> 00:46:49,399
Speaker 3: he just kind of ran along the line, just very

966
00:46:49,480 --> 00:46:53,680
Speaker 3: shallow route. Nice throws, good catch, got around, got a

967
00:46:53,680 --> 00:46:56,640
Speaker 3: little yack, got the first down, like you said, Very

968
00:46:56,680 --> 00:46:57,400
Speaker 3: good to see.

969
00:46:57,640 --> 00:46:58,319
Speaker 1: All right, I'll do.

970
00:46:58,480 --> 00:47:04,120
Speaker 2: That'll put our game in Minnesota to bed. Final thoughts

971
00:47:04,160 --> 00:47:06,440
Speaker 2: all done, preseason game out of the way. Now we

972
00:47:06,480 --> 00:47:09,400
Speaker 2: look forward to the Carolina Panthers.

973
00:47:09,480 --> 00:47:09,759
Speaker 1: All right.

974
00:47:09,800 --> 00:47:13,359
Speaker 2: Big thanks to John McClain, to Ndcollude, to Andre Ware,

975
00:47:13,480 --> 00:47:16,040
Speaker 2: to my man Mark Vandermir, to all you for listening,

976
00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:19,680
Speaker 2: Thank you so very much, and as always, go Texans.
