It's not bad in the car. Uh. 29 00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:29,160 Speaker 1: They pipe in a little bit of crowd noise, so 30 00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:32,039 Speaker 1: it kind of gives it a game time game like field. 31 00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:34,320 Speaker 1: But you're right, it does sound a lot like Siri. 32 00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:35,959 Speaker 1: Siri calling a game. 33 00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:37,600 Speaker 3: Yeaheah, first and ten. 34 00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:39,840 Speaker 1: C. J. 35 00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:42,319 Speaker 3: Stroud hands off to Joe Mixon. 36 00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:44,520 Speaker 1: Who knows with Ai man, I know, I know. 37 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:46,400 Speaker 3: Let's all right, let's wake up most of it while 38 00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:46,920 Speaker 3: we can't. 39 00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:49,600 Speaker 2: I mean, remember we had that game in COVID in 40 00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:53,040 Speaker 2: twenty twenty where we were all in different locations. 41 00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:54,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, and that. 42 00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:57,080 Speaker 2: Would have been a perfect opportunity for the the A 43 00:01:57,360 --> 00:01:58,559 Speaker 2: I play by play to coming. 44 00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:02,040 Speaker 3: Well, the scary thing is using our voices and doing 45 00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:05,360 Speaker 3: the game and you can't tell the difference, Rock and 46 00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:08,920 Speaker 3: we probably signed something that says that's allowed. 47 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:18,120 Speaker 2: But there you go. I would have been able to 48 00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:21,800 Speaker 2: capture the emotion of that. I mean, do you remember 49 00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:23,000 Speaker 2: saying that that. 50 00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:25,280 Speaker 1: Just well, it was that it was just kind of 51 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:28,000 Speaker 1: off the hip at that point. But I do remember 52 00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:30,480 Speaker 1: saying and now that you know it got so much airplay, 53 00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:33,720 Speaker 1: but uh yeah, that was just raw emotion. It was 54 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:37,799 Speaker 1: just the game was over at that point. We'd hung one, 55 00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:41,000 Speaker 1: hung another, w and and man, it was just let 56 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:41,720 Speaker 1: them rip, all right. 57 00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,560 Speaker 3: So do you think that's the most emotional you've been 58 00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:50,120 Speaker 3: throughout the course of a season. Because I liked that. 59 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:50,560 Speaker 1: I can. I can honestly tell you it was the 60 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:56,600 Speaker 1: most fun and emotional that I've had for an entire season. 61 00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:59,720 Speaker 1: There's no doubt about it. That was the most enjoyable 62 00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:02,760 Speaker 1: sea And what was there? Ten wins, seven losses in 63 00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:07,000 Speaker 1: that year. We've certainly had better seasons, but not as 64 00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:09,919 Speaker 1: much fun as that one. And I guess you could 65 00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:12,920 Speaker 1: throw in because of who it was, the attachment to 66 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:17,120 Speaker 1: having played for the team, with demikob now being the 67 00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:20,079 Speaker 1: head coach, a lot of stuff, squirreling CJ coming in 68 00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:23,720 Speaker 1: as a rookie quarterback and having you know, an unprecedented season. 69 00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:26,160 Speaker 1: It was great. And then you're throwing Tank Dale for 70 00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:28,480 Speaker 1: the better part of the first half of the season, 71 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:31,720 Speaker 1: being a U of H guy coming in and lighting 72 00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:35,640 Speaker 1: it up the way he was an instant fan always was, 73 00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:36,760 Speaker 1: but even more so now. 74 00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,240 Speaker 2: Trey one of the things that we we talked to 75 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:41,160 Speaker 2: a case about and I asked him about that game 76 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:43,200 Speaker 2: one of the things that he said, and I thought 77 00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:43,880 Speaker 2: it was interesting. 78 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:45,760 Speaker 1: I want to get your thoughts and your opinions on this. 79 00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:48,800 Speaker 2: He said he didn't at the time, in the moment 80 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:52,960 Speaker 2: kind of get or understand or feel the emotion. But 81 00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:55,200 Speaker 2: as he's kind of been removed from it, more people 82 00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:57,720 Speaker 2: have talked to him about that particular game, and he's 83 00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:03,000 Speaker 2: realizing how much that game meant to Houstonians getting that win. 84 00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,680 Speaker 2: And they're wearing the old Oilers junior uniforms, they're tuning 85 00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:08,600 Speaker 2: against them, and it's obviously a big game for the Texans. 86 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,240 Speaker 1: But he said he got more. 87 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 2: People talking to him about that game than a lot 88 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:14,480 Speaker 2: of other things that have happened in his career. 89 00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:17,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, he I got a chance to visit with him 90 00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:19,800 Speaker 1: at the golf tournament. Then we were on campus together 91 00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:22,800 Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago. Man, he talked about that, 92 00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,920 Speaker 1: and he talked about his whole thirteen year career pretty much, 93 00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,200 Speaker 1: But that was a special game in part because of 94 00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:31,520 Speaker 1: what it meant to Obviously the fans here in Houston, 95 00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:35,239 Speaker 1: the owners of this team, it means means a whole 96 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:38,120 Speaker 1: lot to them. And then you know the whole color thing, 97 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,279 Speaker 1: and they're gonna wear it when the Texans come to town. 98 00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:42,520 Speaker 1: And what better way to just shove it right down 99 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:44,680 Speaker 1: your throat than a wyp Yeah. 100 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:47,359 Speaker 3: And that was just one game in a season to 101 00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:50,240 Speaker 3: remember with so many great moments. And we'll get into 102 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:50,520 Speaker 3: some of that. 103 00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:53,720 Speaker 1: But about the seventy five yard touchdow? Where is that? Indianapolis? Yeah, 104 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,000 Speaker 1: we live the game off the Nico. I mean, we've 105 00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:59,280 Speaker 1: never we've never experienced anything like that, just the Usually 106 00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:01,480 Speaker 1: it's a let's not make a mistake, try to get 107 00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:04,080 Speaker 1: some first downs, open the drave No, we're going for 108 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:07,839 Speaker 1: the jugular right now. And it was good. Oh. I 109 00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:11,920 Speaker 1: love it. I love that that brand of football. I 110 00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:15,640 Speaker 1: like that type of aggression offensively where you're dictating the 111 00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:18,400 Speaker 1: pace and they've got to play catch up. I love 112 00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:19,120 Speaker 1: that brand. Try. 113 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:20,640 Speaker 2: I think what was great about that Mark and I 114 00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:23,080 Speaker 2: have a chance to talk to Nico, and I think 115 00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:24,240 Speaker 2: that was the first time we had had a chance 116 00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:26,800 Speaker 2: to talk to Niko since the end of the season 117 00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:28,920 Speaker 2: and since that game, and so I said Nico, I've 118 00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:31,160 Speaker 2: been dying to ask you this. When did you know 119 00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:34,520 Speaker 2: that was going to be play number one? He goes, Wednesday. 120 00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:34,920 Speaker 1: Yeah. 121 00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:38,320 Speaker 2: I was like that, yeah, and they knew right away. 122 00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:40,840 Speaker 2: I was like, okay, what like during the play, when 123 00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:42,680 Speaker 2: you know it's coming to you, Goes. I mean right 124 00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:45,160 Speaker 2: when I lined up, It's like it lined up perfectly 125 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:46,640 Speaker 2: for exactly what they wanted to do. 126 00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:50,440 Speaker 1: But on Wednesday, they had it planned. You've coached, you 127 00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:53,599 Speaker 1: you go through certain situations where you have a plan 128 00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:57,760 Speaker 1: in place and you want this certain look and if 129 00:05:57,800 --> 00:05:59,240 Speaker 1: you don't get it, you're like, I got to go 130 00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:00,919 Speaker 1: to something else. But when you get it, you're just 131 00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:03,520 Speaker 1: sitting there like, oh yeah. And I remember back when 132 00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:06,320 Speaker 1: we were playing Texas at U of H and we 133 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:08,040 Speaker 1: put in this play where I was going to catch 134 00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:11,200 Speaker 1: a pass. Is my favorite play of college football with 135 00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:14,680 Speaker 1: me involved in it, and it was going to be 136 00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:17,240 Speaker 1: the first play out of the half no matter what. 137 00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:20,760 Speaker 1: And you know, with the running shoot, you can adjust 138 00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:24,719 Speaker 1: for man versus own versus you know, blits and certain 139 00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:26,920 Speaker 1: so on and so forth, and so we had an 140 00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:28,760 Speaker 1: answer for everything they were going to do, but we 141 00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:30,479 Speaker 1: were hoping it was man. So it would create a 142 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:33,440 Speaker 1: natural pick with me going up the sideline, and it did. 143 00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:36,320 Speaker 1: It just set up perfectly all week long. I dropped 144 00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:40,479 Speaker 1: that pass, not that day, the game, all week long, 145 00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:43,640 Speaker 1: and that play went in on Tuesday, So it was 146 00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:46,800 Speaker 1: it was one of those through it Clingler snuck him 147 00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:49,159 Speaker 1: in as the running way and it was a direct 148 00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:51,640 Speaker 1: snap to him as I went up the sideline, the 149 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:54,479 Speaker 1: outside receiver went up the hash like a switch combination, 150 00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:57,360 Speaker 1: and he just laid it right on the money, right 151 00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:58,039 Speaker 1: over the shoulder. 152 00:06:58,360 --> 00:06:59,760 Speaker 3: Oh, that must have been so sweet. 153 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:02,600 Speaker 1: It was, and it was Texas yea, And this one 154 00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:04,240 Speaker 1: was in the dome, but it was just it was. 155 00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:07,200 Speaker 3: Sweet and down the little all right. Well, yeah, nothing 156 00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:10,920 Speaker 3: wrong with that. That's pretty cool stuff. We mentioned case 157 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:13,960 Speaker 3: he connected with Stefan Diggs once upon a time for 158 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,000 Speaker 3: the greatest play in the history of the Vikings franchise. 159 00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:18,800 Speaker 3: The team that the Texans will play this year. What 160 00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:24,280 Speaker 3: about Digs on this team? Drey with Nico with Tank, 161 00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:26,640 Speaker 3: with all the weapons they have, how do you think 162 00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:27,400 Speaker 3: it works out? 163 00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:29,680 Speaker 1: I think it works tremendously. And then they've got the 164 00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:33,360 Speaker 1: seven to one to three back together with Digs or CJ. 165 00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:39,640 Speaker 1: Diggs and now tank back and healthy, so it's good 166 00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:41,640 Speaker 1: to see that that part of it. But he is 167 00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:45,200 Speaker 1: he is a route runner extraordinary. He makes breaks and 168 00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:48,800 Speaker 1: cuts that you just don't see. Uh, it's it's crazy. 169 00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:51,560 Speaker 1: The hands are there. He's a vet. He knows how 170 00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:53,880 Speaker 1: to take care of himself and then to help out 171 00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:56,640 Speaker 1: a locker room and be a leader to some younger 172 00:07:56,680 --> 00:08:00,640 Speaker 1: guys at that position as well. So it's uh, it's 173 00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,440 Speaker 1: been great. They've hit the ground running with it. I 174 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:09,160 Speaker 1: thought during this past was a mini camp OTA's whatever 175 00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:12,080 Speaker 1: it was, that the defense was a little bit ahead 176 00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:16,800 Speaker 1: of the offense. But that's usually that way this time 177 00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:19,480 Speaker 1: of year because they are just seeking destroy and all 178 00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:23,560 Speaker 1: the components the chemistry has to come together offensively. Now 179 00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:26,600 Speaker 1: they're not far off, but I thought the defense was 180 00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:29,840 Speaker 1: a little bit ahead, and with all the upgrades, that's 181 00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:31,760 Speaker 1: kind of where you would would prefer to have it 182 00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:34,920 Speaker 1: at this point. Okrey, what does continuity mean to CJ. Stroud? 183 00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:38,160 Speaker 2: Bobby Slowe comes back, Rod Johnson comes back, Bill Laser 184 00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:41,720 Speaker 2: comes back, all of his receivers come back, and then 185 00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:45,400 Speaker 2: you bring in digs Dalton Schultz decides to resign here. 186 00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:50,000 Speaker 2: It seems like the ecosphere of CJ Stroud that all 187 00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:53,040 Speaker 2: pretty much stayed the same from what it was last year. 188 00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:55,679 Speaker 1: How much do you think that matters for CJ going 189 00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:58,320 Speaker 1: into your two I think it matters a ton. And 190 00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:01,840 Speaker 1: then when you throw in the uh, the offensive line 191 00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:04,800 Speaker 1: and them having chemistry up front, Juice going back to 192 00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:08,200 Speaker 1: his natural position of center, UH Shack back in the 193 00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:11,800 Speaker 1: fold at right guard, and and Titus healthy at right tackle, 194 00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:14,560 Speaker 1: Larer me back at left tackle, and then Kenyon Green, 195 00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:17,600 Speaker 1: who they are expecting some bounce back season from after 196 00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:21,360 Speaker 1: an injury real season last year. I think that that 197 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:25,040 Speaker 1: coupled with CJ and the weapons that you've put around him, 198 00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:27,680 Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, guy's a limit. And so the more 199 00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:31,120 Speaker 1: reps they get, the better UH they're gonna become. You 200 00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:35,319 Speaker 1: just hope that it's enough time between now and the 201 00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:38,520 Speaker 1: first preseason game or the first the opening season game. 202 00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:40,920 Speaker 1: Throughout the preseason. I think it's gonna give him some 203 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:43,719 Speaker 1: help as well, throwing an extra preseason game in there 204 00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:46,080 Speaker 1: in the Hall of Fame game and UH. And I 205 00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:48,880 Speaker 1: think they hit the ground running in September early. 206 00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:51,200 Speaker 3: More on the players in a moment, Dre But what 207 00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:55,520 Speaker 3: about the psychology of it? All these expectations on them now. 208 00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:57,559 Speaker 3: A lot of people think this team's gonna be very good. 209 00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:00,480 Speaker 3: They're getting a lot of praise offseason praise. You know, 210 00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:04,160 Speaker 3: Nick Saban talks about the rat poison, poison whatever. What 211 00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:06,400 Speaker 3: do you make of that? How they handle that as 212 00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:07,839 Speaker 3: a younger team, But they do have some vets and 213 00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:08,400 Speaker 3: they have to meet go. 214 00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:11,920 Speaker 1: I think they've handled it well when they continue to 215 00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:13,760 Speaker 1: utter the words that we're a young team and we 216 00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:16,120 Speaker 1: just have to get better and so on and so forth. 217 00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:18,560 Speaker 1: I think, you know, there were wins last year that 218 00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:21,960 Speaker 1: could have gone either way, and it balances itself during 219 00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:24,440 Speaker 1: a season like that, right But they're the hundred now 220 00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:28,720 Speaker 1: because of a division championship, going deep into the playoffs. 221 00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:31,320 Speaker 1: The amount of press that they've gotten with a young 222 00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:34,560 Speaker 1: quarterback who is on everybody's list is one of the 223 00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:37,800 Speaker 1: best in the it's certainly top ten in this league 224 00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:42,160 Speaker 1: right now. That they have to bring it every single 225 00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:46,920 Speaker 1: week because they're going to be somebody's bulletin board material 226 00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:49,920 Speaker 1: every single week in the NFL, and so it will 227 00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:52,760 Speaker 1: be a season of one week at a time, and 228 00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:55,960 Speaker 1: it should be most parts, but certainly this one because 229 00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:57,679 Speaker 1: you have to take it that way. There were a 230 00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:00,040 Speaker 1: lot of injuries last year and they were able to 231 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,400 Speaker 1: to kind of weave their way through that. Hopefully they 232 00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:04,640 Speaker 1: can stay a little bit healthier this year and make 233 00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:05,600 Speaker 1: it a little bit easier. 234 00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:07,960 Speaker 2: Marke Tomlin says, it's a five star matchup because we're 235 00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:09,520 Speaker 2: in it, and I feel like that's the way that 236 00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:12,520 Speaker 2: you know, Yeah, it's not a five star matchup because 237 00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:14,760 Speaker 2: it's the Bills over there. Correct, It's five star matchup 238 00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:15,360 Speaker 2: because we're in it. 239 00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:17,840 Speaker 1: Who I think is going to be severely weakened this 240 00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:20,959 Speaker 1: year because of obviously you can't lose digs and still 241 00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:23,600 Speaker 1: be the same offense, and they've lost some pieces on 242 00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:28,679 Speaker 1: defense as well. Totally, totally, Marcus. I know how Mark 243 00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:31,240 Speaker 1: feels about this. You know how I feel about it. 244 00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:33,760 Speaker 1: Week one at Indy. How do you feel about it? 245 00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:38,880 Speaker 1: I'd rather have somebody else, But I'm not going to 246 00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:44,480 Speaker 1: turn down what is it the the yes turn that 247 00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:46,680 Speaker 1: down the first week first rattle out of the box. 248 00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:50,200 Speaker 1: We could actually probably walk to the restaurant and you know, 249 00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:53,560 Speaker 1: downtown a little bit because the weather's going to be 250 00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:56,680 Speaker 1: ideal at that point in the season where usually we 251 00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:59,240 Speaker 1: go there is later in the year, we're all bundled up, 252 00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:02,280 Speaker 1: But that just means it's gonna be somewhere else cold. 253 00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:06,320 Speaker 1: What about that later in the year. But no, I 254 00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:09,319 Speaker 1: like it because it's gonna test Indianapolis. I don't want 255 00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:12,880 Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson to get a boatload of games under his 256 00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:14,959 Speaker 1: belt before we have to see him. I'd rather see 257 00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:17,840 Speaker 1: him early and it'd be a division game than later 258 00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 1: in the season where he's got some rhythm to his game. 259 00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:26,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, primetime games. Did you like him? The players say 260 00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:29,320 Speaker 3: they like him. Now, everybody loves routine, But if you're 261 00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:31,679 Speaker 3: in a primetime game, like you guys said, I mean 262 00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:32,800 Speaker 3: that means you're in the Also, it. 263 00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:36,160 Speaker 1: Takes you out of your routine. For sure. I didn't 264 00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:39,080 Speaker 1: like him for that reason because I'm very routine oriented 265 00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:41,559 Speaker 1: and I just I just like the same thing at 266 00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:44,600 Speaker 1: the same time, the same meal, whatever it is. And 267 00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:48,560 Speaker 1: I hated waiting for games, like I wanted to wake up, 268 00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:52,000 Speaker 1: get dressed, go play. And when you're in a primetime game, 269 00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:55,800 Speaker 1: you are sitting all day long trying to to wind 270 00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:57,880 Speaker 1: that clock or have the clock go a little bit 271 00:12:57,920 --> 00:12:59,959 Speaker 1: faster so you can get to get closer to again 272 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:03,280 Speaker 1: same time. So uh, Unfortunately I don't have Unfortunately I 273 00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:06,240 Speaker 1: don't have to play, and they are the ones that 274 00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:09,080 Speaker 1: have to adjust to it. But as a broadcaster, I like, 275 00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:11,719 Speaker 1: I still like the routine though, a wake up call, 276 00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:13,079 Speaker 1: a game, let's go get on the plan. 277 00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:15,800 Speaker 2: I mean we were the epitome of routine last year. 278 00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:19,160 Speaker 2: Every game at noon yep, nude. I mean, obviously we're 279 00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:21,720 Speaker 2: an Eastern time is one o'clock, but until every and 280 00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:24,440 Speaker 2: that was sitting around the hotel waiting. 281 00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:25,560 Speaker 3: And then Saturday to go. 282 00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:28,120 Speaker 2: That's on a Saturday, so I mean, we hadn't had 283 00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:31,800 Speaker 2: any honestly disruption, but we didn't. We didn't have any disruptions. 284 00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:35,080 Speaker 1: Usually if it's if it's a late game, let's say 285 00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:37,600 Speaker 1: on a on a Sunday, you get a Sunday night, 286 00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:40,160 Speaker 1: or you're still going at the same time on Saturday 287 00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:42,920 Speaker 1: pretty much maybe a little couple of hours later, so 288 00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:45,400 Speaker 1: you got to occupy that time with with something to do. 289 00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:49,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, you watch NFL football during the day, you can't. 290 00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:51,640 Speaker 1: That's true. Or college games on Saturday. 291 00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:58,839 Speaker 2: Time, which which opposing quarterbacks. I mean, there's obviously Patrick Mahomes, 292 00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:03,040 Speaker 2: there's Lamar Jackson. I mean, this is a pretty stout 293 00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:06,000 Speaker 2: quarterback schedule, the running backs, wide receivers, Mark and I 294 00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:08,079 Speaker 2: have gone through. But I know one of the things 295 00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:10,080 Speaker 2: I look forward to Dre is seeing, you know the 296 00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:14,360 Speaker 2: opponents of you know who we're going to play, and 297 00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:17,200 Speaker 2: oh man, we're getting to see this guy. We're getting 298 00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:21,840 Speaker 2: to see this guy, Jordan Love, Dak Prescott, Jery Goff. 299 00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:23,840 Speaker 2: A lot of quarterbacks that we're going to face this 300 00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:27,120 Speaker 2: year that people have heard of, they're gone to Pro Bowls. 301 00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:30,240 Speaker 2: Is there one any more you're excited about than seeing 302 00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:32,760 Speaker 2: the Texans defense go against than any other? 303 00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:35,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, And it's not a veteran guy. It's a rookie. 304 00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:40,120 Speaker 1: Rookie Caleb Williams Okay too, that's who. That's what I 305 00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:44,280 Speaker 1: want to see as as bad as anybody. Because I 306 00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:47,240 Speaker 1: told you there was a point in the season last 307 00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:49,520 Speaker 1: year where I got to the hotel we were on 308 00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:52,840 Speaker 1: the road, I think it was in consecutive weeks, and 309 00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:55,280 Speaker 1: I just locked in on him. I just wanted to 310 00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:57,640 Speaker 1: see him play. So I sat down in western entire 311 00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:04,840 Speaker 1: USC game. He is unbelievable and you could get this 312 00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:07,360 Speaker 1: close to him or as close as Johnny and I 313 00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:12,200 Speaker 1: are sitting your seats apart one seat apart and can't 314 00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:15,600 Speaker 1: touch him, and so it's gonna be a tall order 315 00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:18,800 Speaker 1: for our defense and just the pieces that they kind 316 00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:21,640 Speaker 1: of put around him, can they protect him? They've certainly 317 00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:26,200 Speaker 1: upgraded the skill positions around him. Now can they protect 318 00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:29,480 Speaker 1: him enough that where he can be successful? And I 319 00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:31,440 Speaker 1: hope not in Week two, But that's a game I'm 320 00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:33,840 Speaker 1: looking to see because he is the guy I would 321 00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:36,880 Speaker 1: spend money to go watch play football. He's that dynamic. 322 00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:40,800 Speaker 3: What about the stretch where you have three games and 323 00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:43,120 Speaker 3: eleven days or whatever it is? Is it ten days, 324 00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:46,040 Speaker 3: Johnny or eleven days? When you have the Chiefs on 325 00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:50,080 Speaker 3: the twenty first, the twenty fifth Christmas, you are going 326 00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:52,960 Speaker 3: to entertain the Baltimore Ravens, But before that you had 327 00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:55,760 Speaker 3: the Miami Dolphins before the Chiefs. You have six days 328 00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:57,520 Speaker 3: short week fifteenth. 329 00:15:57,080 --> 00:15:59,520 Speaker 1: Through twenty fifth, So luckily for us, two of the 330 00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:02,400 Speaker 1: three are home, and so you get the Dolphins here, 331 00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:04,600 Speaker 1: you get the Chiefs on the road, which is always 332 00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:06,240 Speaker 1: going to be a tough game, and then the Ravens 333 00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:09,080 Speaker 1: come here again. They start they we opened the season 334 00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:11,640 Speaker 1: with the Ravens last year. Yeah right there, Yeah, it 335 00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:15,080 Speaker 1: was there and ended. Yeah, yeah, I didn't even think 336 00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:18,320 Speaker 1: about that, John, And so they're making a trip, uh 337 00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:21,160 Speaker 1: three thirty kick here at NRG. 338 00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:24,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, it'll be a big game four day week. So 339 00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:27,640 Speaker 3: it's pretty tight, pretty tight stuff. So speaking of the Chiefs, 340 00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:31,880 Speaker 3: you go up there and are they the new Patriots? 341 00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:36,200 Speaker 3: For sure? Definitely, because they've really revamped that team. What 342 00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:38,720 Speaker 3: was it the amount of starters they had versus opening 343 00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:40,320 Speaker 3: day of twenty twenty when we faced. 344 00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:42,320 Speaker 1: The Oh yeah we faced them. Betweenty twenty four starters 345 00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:42,560 Speaker 1: or some. 346 00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:45,760 Speaker 2: Defensively, they've got like three guys left. That's amazing, Kelse 347 00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:48,320 Speaker 2: and maybe one other I can't remember. And everybody always 348 00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:50,440 Speaker 2: talks about Mahomes for good reason. They were the number 349 00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:53,600 Speaker 2: two defense in the league last year. Points and yards. 350 00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:55,920 Speaker 1: They just it's it just shows you when you have 351 00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:59,760 Speaker 1: the brain trust upstairs that are they're on the same 352 00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:02,040 Speaker 1: page age. They know what to look for, and when 353 00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:05,840 Speaker 1: you allow staffs to kind of stay in place for 354 00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:09,480 Speaker 1: a number of years, Uh, there's some cohesiveness that they 355 00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:12,080 Speaker 1: know what they're going to the grocery short store to 356 00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:15,920 Speaker 1: shop for. It's speed in Kansas City on the offensive side, 357 00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:18,960 Speaker 1: and then playmakers on the defensive side, and so when 358 00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:21,199 Speaker 1: you look at what they've been able to do just 359 00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:25,200 Speaker 1: this offseason and adding more weapons to an already lethal 360 00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:28,560 Speaker 1: offensive attack. That's where they're scary. 361 00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:32,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean you mentioned it, Xavi, you're worthy and 362 00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:35,160 Speaker 2: Hollywood Brown Yeah, and it's crazy. 363 00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:37,040 Speaker 1: I mean, who knows what happens with her? She Rice. 364 00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:39,760 Speaker 1: I mean, we had no idea. That's every bit the 365 00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:43,960 Speaker 1: equivalent in my opinion, of Diggs coming to the Texans 366 00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:47,040 Speaker 1: and being a big cog and what's what's here already 367 00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:50,800 Speaker 1: getting that that young speed and then Hollywood, Oh my goodness, Yeah, 368 00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:53,879 Speaker 1: it gives and you've got my Homes pulling the trigger 369 00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:56,560 Speaker 1: with Kelsey to pull coverage down where they can get 370 00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:59,320 Speaker 1: over the top. It's that's gonna be sick. I would have. 371 00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:01,960 Speaker 2: I mean, you played the position, so you know. Quarterbacks 372 00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:03,600 Speaker 2: like to throw deep, especially when they've got an arm 373 00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:07,199 Speaker 2: like Mahomes. And for the first few years of Mahomes' career, 374 00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:10,320 Speaker 2: it was bleep it, Tyreek's down there somewhere, just throw it, 375 00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:11,160 Speaker 2: Just let me go. 376 00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:12,720 Speaker 1: And now he's. 377 00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:15,439 Speaker 2: Got two guys that can be that. Hey, I know 378 00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:17,199 Speaker 2: they're going to be down there. I just gotta I 379 00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:19,760 Speaker 2: gotta flip and throw it. So I think you're right, 380 00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:22,640 Speaker 2: though the defense is not talked about in Kansas City, 381 00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:25,639 Speaker 2: which is which is saying, But the Texans have beaten 382 00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:29,200 Speaker 2: Mahomes before twenty nineteen at our ahead, it's happened. We've 383 00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:34,000 Speaker 2: beaten the man, We've not beaten Lamar Jackson, and now 384 00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:37,560 Speaker 2: we got to Pillay at my Christmas. I I mean 385 00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:39,119 Speaker 2: we saw it in a playoff game. He was not 386 00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:40,960 Speaker 2: playing well, the offense was not playing well. In the 387 00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:42,840 Speaker 2: second half, he got to go in with some scrambles 388 00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:43,520 Speaker 2: and some runs. 389 00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:50,800 Speaker 1: My god, how do we beat Lamar Jackson? Dre excuse me? 390 00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:54,600 Speaker 2: How do we beat Lamar Jackson with Derek Henry lining 391 00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:55,320 Speaker 2: up behind him? 392 00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:55,600 Speaker 3: Oh? 393 00:18:55,680 --> 00:19:00,480 Speaker 1: Gosh, made at that part and they were all already, 394 00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:03,120 Speaker 1: I mean they were tough. How many times they run 395 00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:05,160 Speaker 1: the ball against us the week that was the second half? 396 00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:07,880 Speaker 1: It was crazy play And then they went to Kansas 397 00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:10,800 Speaker 1: City that what the previous week, the next week next 398 00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:13,840 Speaker 1: week and didn't run it very much at all. I 399 00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:16,399 Speaker 1: think they ran it forty two times against us in 400 00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:20,600 Speaker 1: the game in that game when we were there, and uh. 401 00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:22,840 Speaker 3: And not not much in the first half relatively, because 402 00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:23,640 Speaker 3: that's when they. 403 00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:25,959 Speaker 1: Went they were like Wait a minute, this isn't us. 404 00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:28,760 Speaker 1: Let's get back to what we do. And then they 405 00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:30,960 Speaker 1: go the next week and decide to throw it around, 406 00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:34,240 Speaker 1: and I think that cost him the game. With Derrick Henry, uh, 407 00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:37,280 Speaker 1: he is going to demand it. I was watching last 408 00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:40,440 Speaker 1: week just a training reel or some video of him 409 00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:43,959 Speaker 1: in the gym training, and it's just his his his 410 00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:47,160 Speaker 1: regiment is just sick. Man. You you there's no accident 411 00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:51,360 Speaker 1: as to how he continues to put up the numbers 412 00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:53,960 Speaker 1: that he's doing because he worked so hard in the offseason. 413 00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:58,120 Speaker 1: You're right, forty two for two twenty nine. 414 00:19:58,240 --> 00:19:59,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, in the playoff game. 415 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,240 Speaker 2: In the playoff game, Lamar had eleven for one hundred, 416 00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:05,560 Speaker 2: Justice Hill had thirteen for sixty six, Gus Edwards had 417 00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:08,680 Speaker 2: eight for ten for forty and even Dalvin Cook had 418 00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:09,600 Speaker 2: eight for twenty three. 419 00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:11,359 Speaker 1: They ran forty two times. Now, I don't know how 420 00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:13,879 Speaker 1: the split wasn't you know? By half. I wonder how 421 00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:16,600 Speaker 1: they stack up running back wise in terms of their 422 00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:19,800 Speaker 1: depth chart with Henry Henry there now, because I don't 423 00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:21,280 Speaker 1: think they brought Gus Edwards back. 424 00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:24,080 Speaker 2: No Gus Everts went to the Chargers, so it's gonna 425 00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:26,720 Speaker 2: be Dereck Henry and and well the guy we didn't 426 00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:29,560 Speaker 2: see because we didn't seem in week one and then 427 00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:31,440 Speaker 2: in about the middle of the season he started showing 428 00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:33,280 Speaker 2: up and he got hurt Is Keaton Mitchell. 429 00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:35,920 Speaker 1: Look he's out there either. 430 00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:40,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, Dobson still Justice Hill though, right, Justice like eating Mitchell. 431 00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:43,240 Speaker 2: That dude can absolutely fly, and he was giving him 432 00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:44,520 Speaker 2: something in the middle of the year, but then he 433 00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:47,720 Speaker 2: got hurt in late November early December. 434 00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:48,880 Speaker 1: They they missed him. 435 00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:51,520 Speaker 2: I think had Hey had him, they would have got 436 00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:53,040 Speaker 2: him the ball against Kansas City. That would have been 437 00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:56,240 Speaker 2: tough against Kansas City. But you got to knock him out. Yeah, 438 00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:57,720 Speaker 2: I mean, that's what you have to do with the Chiefs, 439 00:20:57,760 --> 00:20:59,280 Speaker 2: and I think that's what we got to do with Lamar. 440 00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:01,560 Speaker 2: Not physically knock him out of the game, but I mean, 441 00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:02,720 Speaker 2: but you. 442 00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:03,640 Speaker 1: Got to knock them out. 443 00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:10,399 Speaker 3: Williams, Johnny put up a bounty of our Jacks Gates. 444 00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:12,840 Speaker 3: Let me talk about the fun stuff. Never mind those teams, 445 00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:15,800 Speaker 3: the important stuff, the AFC South. We mentioned the Colts, 446 00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:19,000 Speaker 3: Now what about the Jaguars guys. I know I kind 447 00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:21,480 Speaker 3: of poke fun of the Trevor Lawrence lack of being 448 00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:24,360 Speaker 3: a generational guy Trevor. 449 00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:25,160 Speaker 1: We know I do. 450 00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:27,040 Speaker 3: We know he's a good quarter. 451 00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:29,280 Speaker 1: He can't help but he he's earned it. 452 00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:32,520 Speaker 3: He's made plays, he has winning seasons, he does all 453 00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:35,479 Speaker 3: of that. He hasn't gone to the level that they 454 00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:37,680 Speaker 3: were hoping against the number one overall pick all that aside, 455 00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:40,440 Speaker 3: what about the Jaguars because they still have ETN, which 456 00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:43,000 Speaker 3: I think I think ETN is just as important as 457 00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:45,359 Speaker 3: Trevor Lawrence to that offense. I mean, he really helps 458 00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:49,320 Speaker 3: them go. And I'm concerned about them because no one 459 00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:50,320 Speaker 3: else seems to be. 460 00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:55,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, and he's getting better and the more they put 461 00:21:55,760 --> 00:22:00,239 Speaker 1: guys around him the offensive line in terms of being healthy. Uh, 462 00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:03,840 Speaker 1: That's what's concerning is is when they're they're right up front, 463 00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:06,840 Speaker 1: they can expose you with all the weapons that they have, 464 00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:10,560 Speaker 1: the etns that you talked about, even even Trevor pulling 465 00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:12,399 Speaker 1: it down and being able to make some plays with 466 00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:15,680 Speaker 1: his legs because he hadn't been healthy enough to do 467 00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:18,080 Speaker 1: that or show that part of his game as of late, 468 00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:20,800 Speaker 1: because he's dealing with injuries. I think if you know 469 00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:23,000 Speaker 1: early in the season you see him, he's gonna have 470 00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:25,520 Speaker 1: that part of his game. And so that's what makes 471 00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:29,720 Speaker 1: them dangerous. The defense, Uh, they're they're always gonna be 472 00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:32,800 Speaker 1: tough on that side of the football. And they're they're uh, 473 00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:36,920 Speaker 1: the coaching staff knows what they're doing. They're competent. Now, 474 00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:40,040 Speaker 1: we loved it when they weren't, Uh, not so much 475 00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:42,920 Speaker 1: when when Doug Peterson's there and he's got everybody aligned 476 00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:45,000 Speaker 1: and and focused on what they need to do. 477 00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:47,480 Speaker 3: I think too many people are looking at them like they're. 478 00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:51,480 Speaker 1: The I think they're the second best team in the division. Yes, 479 00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:54,400 Speaker 1: I think they're better than Indy. I think they are 480 00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:58,440 Speaker 1: behind the Texans and in front of Tennessee obviously, because 481 00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:00,840 Speaker 1: just too many changes have gone on in that building. 482 00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:03,760 Speaker 2: How much would you if you're an Indie fan or 483 00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:06,639 Speaker 2: just just how are you looking at the Colts? How 484 00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:10,200 Speaker 2: much do you trust Anthony Richardson's playing fifteen games or more? 485 00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:14,280 Speaker 1: Well, that's that's the part I'm you concern yourself with 486 00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:16,439 Speaker 1: if you're a Colts fan, is how fast do they 487 00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:19,280 Speaker 1: get out of the gate. And he's missed a significant 488 00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:21,680 Speaker 1: amount of time. Obviously they're going to try to ramp 489 00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:25,080 Speaker 1: him up and get reps and get him under center 490 00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:27,639 Speaker 1: so he's ready to go for the regular season. But 491 00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:30,400 Speaker 1: there's a risk in doing that too. I don't think 492 00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:33,919 Speaker 1: he plays real well, but maybe well enough. But when 493 00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:37,679 Speaker 1: you start stacking teams like the Texans early in the 494 00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:40,679 Speaker 1: season against him, that's a tough ask for him. And 495 00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:43,000 Speaker 1: being a young quarterback that was hurt in his rookie year. 496 00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:46,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, and last year when Richardson got hurt, they had Minshew, 497 00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:49,119 Speaker 3: he played well. They were nine victories they would have 498 00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:51,480 Speaker 3: could have should against the Texans, they weren't able to 499 00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:54,320 Speaker 3: do it. And this year they have Joe Flacco behind 500 00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:58,159 Speaker 3: Anthony Richardson, and Flacco did remarkably well with Cleveland down 501 00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:01,080 Speaker 3: the stretch. But can you expect out of his age Harlade? 502 00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:03,840 Speaker 1: Huh, Yeah, I was wondering. I had no idea where 503 00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:06,480 Speaker 1: he'd went, where he'd gone, And now you just broke 504 00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:07,560 Speaker 1: that to me, Well. 505 00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:09,800 Speaker 2: You knew he wasn't staying in Cleveland, which is an 506 00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:10,840 Speaker 2: interesting situation. 507 00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:12,680 Speaker 1: Well, they needed it because I don't think they could 508 00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:15,560 Speaker 1: have gone into a season with Sam Ellinger as their 509 00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:18,440 Speaker 1: back up right and expected to have you know, a 510 00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:22,320 Speaker 1: long run of games where they're they're winning. But Flacco 511 00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:24,840 Speaker 1: certainly gives them that veteran presence that they can he 512 00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:27,320 Speaker 1: can hold it together if he If. 513 00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:29,240 Speaker 3: They need him to play and he doesn't play, well, 514 00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:32,360 Speaker 3: they could literally be saying, if only we had Gardner Minshew. 515 00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:34,560 Speaker 3: And that's a sentence that not too many people thought 516 00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:35,879 Speaker 3: would come out of a team's mouth. 517 00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:42,240 Speaker 1: Like a year a half starter in Vegas. Well, yeah, 518 00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:45,640 Speaker 1: and I know they like Aidan O'Connell a lot, Yeah, 519 00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:45,879 Speaker 1: they do. 520 00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:47,080 Speaker 3: He'll compete though. 521 00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:50,159 Speaker 1: Ag loves Aidan O'Connell, and she will be ready, you know, 522 00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:50,880 Speaker 1: he's always ready. 523 00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:53,399 Speaker 2: I mean Pierce one of Jayden Daniels, which I mean 524 00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:56,440 Speaker 2: he coached him at and recruit him, you know, out 525 00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:57,840 Speaker 2: of California to go to Arizona State. 526 00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:00,360 Speaker 1: When pierces at Arizona State. Oh, I remember on there 527 00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:02,800 Speaker 1: a couple of years ago when when Jaden was a freshman, 528 00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:07,359 Speaker 1: and how Ap who was going against him in practice 529 00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:11,679 Speaker 1: every day, spoke glowingly of him and how much, you know, 530 00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:13,800 Speaker 1: how good of a player he was going to be, 531 00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:16,000 Speaker 1: not just that year, but for years to come. 532 00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:18,080 Speaker 2: Raiders just couldn't do it, could get up there. So 533 00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:20,720 Speaker 2: they're stuck with O'Connell and minshew. And but they got 534 00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:21,240 Speaker 2: some talent. 535 00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:24,320 Speaker 1: I mean, they went on they tried to try they 536 00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:26,280 Speaker 1: try trying to get to them. That'll be interesting. 537 00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:28,439 Speaker 2: Yeah, the Raiders are an interesting team to me with 538 00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:32,480 Speaker 2: and O'Connell and Gardner Minshew a quarterback. And yeah, there 539 00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:34,320 Speaker 2: was a lot of talk about Antonio Pierce going up 540 00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:36,439 Speaker 2: again his guy Jaye and Daniels just couldn't get all 541 00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:38,680 Speaker 2: the way up to two. And now you're hearing all 542 00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:42,639 Speaker 2: kinds of talk coming out of Washington, how precocious essentially 543 00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:46,240 Speaker 2: Jade Daniels is for the Washington Commanders. So I'm glad 544 00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:48,560 Speaker 2: we don't play him this year. We have got the 545 00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:53,920 Speaker 2: Dallas Cowboys and that uh will be fun on Monday Night. 546 00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:56,320 Speaker 1: That's a little bit later in the year we get back. 547 00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:59,880 Speaker 2: We're gonna talk a little bit about the Polar Rise 548 00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:05,320 Speaker 2: seeing quarterback that is the leader in Nashville, Will Levis. 549 00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:10,800 Speaker 2: That is next on Texans All Access. Yes, sorry, welcome 550 00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:12,960 Speaker 2: back to this Wednesday this shit Texas All Access from 551 00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:16,800 Speaker 2: the Texans Radio studio. John Harris with you. But we 552 00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:20,160 Speaker 2: have the whole gang together. Yeah, we miss our guys 553 00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:23,480 Speaker 2: Robert Aaron, but Smart vander Meer and myself and Andre 554 00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:26,920 Speaker 2: were kicking it around and we've gotten that point in 555 00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:29,000 Speaker 2: the show where it's time to talk about I think 556 00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:33,440 Speaker 2: the most polarizing quarterback, maybe not only the AFC South, 557 00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:35,879 Speaker 2: but in AFC, maybe in the NFL, and that is 558 00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:41,000 Speaker 2: Will Levis. Of course, head get Andre's thoughts about what 559 00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:43,840 Speaker 2: the Titans trying to do at quarterback, the other quarterback 560 00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:46,879 Speaker 2: in the division, the polarizing Will Levis. I mean, we 561 00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:49,040 Speaker 2: talked about it turning to broadcast during the game, like, 562 00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:53,120 Speaker 2: you know what you're getting with Will Levis, because there's 563 00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:54,919 Speaker 2: gonna be a great throw, there's gonna be something he 564 00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:57,560 Speaker 2: does where you go, oh my god, he's maybe the 565 00:26:57,560 --> 00:26:59,159 Speaker 2: only quarterback in the league that can do that. And 566 00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:02,360 Speaker 2: then the very next b he's gonna go, well, he's 567 00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:05,200 Speaker 2: gonna make a throw where you go, what the absolute 568 00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:09,160 Speaker 2: f is he doing? And I think until that changes, 569 00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:11,119 Speaker 2: I just can't buy the Tennessee Titans being more than 570 00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:12,120 Speaker 2: a six or seven one team. 571 00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:15,680 Speaker 1: I agree totally with you, because there's not a whole 572 00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:20,959 Speaker 1: lot around him to where to stop him from trying 573 00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:23,639 Speaker 1: to do too much. To protect him from himself is 574 00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:26,600 Speaker 1: the term I like to use. I think he's gonna 575 00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:28,560 Speaker 1: try to make plays. I think he's gonna try to 576 00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:31,760 Speaker 1: do too much, and early in the season, he will have, 577 00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:34,879 Speaker 1: you know, the turnover bug because of it, and so 578 00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:38,520 Speaker 1: I don't I think Tennessee is the fourth team in 579 00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:40,480 Speaker 1: this division and it's not even close. 580 00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:43,520 Speaker 3: It remains to be seen whether they made the right decision, 581 00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:45,920 Speaker 3: if there was any kind of division between Ram Carthon 582 00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:49,119 Speaker 3: and Mike Vrabel, if they made the right decision. Because 583 00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:50,919 Speaker 3: I don't know how you guys feel, but when the 584 00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:53,600 Speaker 3: Texans take on the Titans, I'm worried about Vrabel as 585 00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:56,560 Speaker 3: much as anything because he's a good coach and now 586 00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:59,119 Speaker 3: I'm not to take away from Brian Callen and hasn't 587 00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:02,080 Speaker 3: done anything yet, but that X factor feels like it's 588 00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:05,440 Speaker 3: gone and we'll see if he's able to develop it again. 589 00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:08,199 Speaker 3: As oh, that coaching staff is on the money. But 590 00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:10,320 Speaker 3: with Vrabel, he always felt like he was going to 591 00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:11,879 Speaker 3: have a good game plan for you. I know the 592 00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:14,200 Speaker 3: Texans had success in recent years, but they've also had 593 00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:17,119 Speaker 3: some trouble in recent years with the Titans. And I 594 00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:19,399 Speaker 3: know it wasn't going well overall for Rabel, but I 595 00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:22,479 Speaker 3: think they screwed up the roster around, you know, the 596 00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:24,520 Speaker 3: talent he had to work with, and once they got 597 00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:27,560 Speaker 3: rid of Robinson, I'll always say this. I know Robinson 598 00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:31,640 Speaker 3: traded AJ Brown, unpopular, all of that, but Robinson never 599 00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:33,920 Speaker 3: had a losing season there as the general manager. 600 00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:37,199 Speaker 1: Even that was are scratcher to let him go, you know. 601 00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:40,280 Speaker 1: And you see what Pittsburgh just did with their head coach, 602 00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:44,200 Speaker 1: and it's not easy to duplicate. Yep. So yeah, I 603 00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:46,680 Speaker 1: think that, you know, he obviously knows what he's looking for. 604 00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:48,479 Speaker 1: Then you look what they were able to put together 605 00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:51,680 Speaker 1: this offseason. They kept hopped there. Traylon Burk's is still 606 00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:56,120 Speaker 1: in the foll Calvin Ridley comes aboard, Tyler Boyd. Yeah, 607 00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:58,440 Speaker 1: it was signed from Cincinnati. That weapons. So they've got 608 00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:01,520 Speaker 1: some weapons if they if they can get some consistent 609 00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:04,440 Speaker 1: quarterback play from Levis, they could be a thorn in 610 00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:08,280 Speaker 1: some team side, But do not have twenty two. He's gone. 611 00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:11,960 Speaker 1: He's in Baltimore. Tony Pollard is now the league back 612 00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:16,160 Speaker 1: there along with Spears, who'll really like it'll be a 613 00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:20,360 Speaker 1: good duo. It doesn't scare you. Jas Hill is there 614 00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:24,840 Speaker 1: tij Spears, so to speak, but in Baltimore, in Baltimore, 615 00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:28,000 Speaker 1: that's that that kind of dynamic with Henry you've got 616 00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:31,400 Speaker 1: he's obviously the thunder and you're gonna have a lightning 617 00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:32,479 Speaker 1: to kind of offset him. 618 00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:36,080 Speaker 3: Johnny's right, though, Derek Henry strikes fear of the opponentsive 619 00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:37,040 Speaker 3: coordinators happen. 620 00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:39,800 Speaker 1: Because he just he's every bit better in the fourth 621 00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:41,760 Speaker 1: quarter than he was in the first quarter. 622 00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:44,680 Speaker 2: Because those workouts you talked about, ye, I mean, Shan's 623 00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:46,640 Speaker 2: all on his necks. He's doing push ups like my 624 00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:49,880 Speaker 2: God's curls. 625 00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:53,480 Speaker 1: And he dominated us game after getting remember that string 626 00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:55,720 Speaker 1: he had when he was like over two undergo yards 627 00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:59,080 Speaker 1: against for like five straight games or something. It was crazy, I. 628 00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:00,720 Speaker 2: Mean being down there to watch every single one of 629 00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:03,640 Speaker 2: those like do we have anybody that's gonna tackle this guy? 630 00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:05,520 Speaker 1: And I mean all it took. Not a lot of 631 00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:07,680 Speaker 1: people around the league are signing up for that. The 632 00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:08,560 Speaker 1: game of twenty twenty. 633 00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:10,440 Speaker 2: It just took one linebacker stepping out of a gap 634 00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:12,440 Speaker 2: and that dude took it ninety four yards to the house. 635 00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:15,239 Speaker 1: Like, I mean what That's the scary part is not 636 00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:18,719 Speaker 1: only is he powerful, he's fast with it. So if 637 00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:22,200 Speaker 1: you give him, you're not gonna get it. And think 638 00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:23,880 Speaker 1: about it, even if you catch up to him, how 639 00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:25,920 Speaker 1: hard is it to get him down when he's moving 640 00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:28,160 Speaker 1: at full speed. Absolutely, he is gonna go for the ride. 641 00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:30,200 Speaker 1: Farm you on on the way. He might wait for you. 642 00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:32,360 Speaker 1: He's done that the minute, farm you as you go. 643 00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:34,640 Speaker 1: So I'm glad he's in Baltimore. 644 00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:37,560 Speaker 3: Nor So. December thirty first, the Texas Bowl will be 645 00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:39,880 Speaker 3: played here at an RG Stadium, not. 646 00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:40,520 Speaker 1: Too far fast. 647 00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:44,400 Speaker 3: Big twelve still yes, yes, and obviously does a playoff 648 00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:46,120 Speaker 3: this year, but a few How. 649 00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:48,480 Speaker 1: Good is the Big twelve gonna be though? I mean, 650 00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:51,640 Speaker 1: that's that's a good that's a good conferent Utah stepping 651 00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:56,240 Speaker 1: in Colorado, stepping in the two Arizona schools, Arizona, Arizona State, 652 00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:58,840 Speaker 1: let me tell you, is pretty good. Yes they are. 653 00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:01,680 Speaker 1: And I would love have seen Jed stay there. Yeah, 654 00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:05,080 Speaker 1: they would go to Washington with this roster. Oh my goodness. 655 00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:06,440 Speaker 1: I think that is good. 656 00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:09,320 Speaker 2: I think Jed Jed built that thing up. He did 657 00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:12,200 Speaker 2: a great job with this offense with no feed.

Arizona's going to be really good. 664 00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:34,200 Speaker 2: Those those corner schools for the Pac twelve coming in.

It's good to see that reunion 685 00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:28,720 Speaker 1: happen again and in its proper place around Thanksgiving. 686 00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:31,120 Speaker 3: Because my son is going to the University of Texas, 687 00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:32,600 Speaker 3: do I have to root for the Longhorns. 688 00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:35,520 Speaker 1: I'm all right with that. I mean, I love Luke 689 00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:37,960 Speaker 1: like a son, So he made a wise choice. 690 00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:40,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it's about the academic that's exactly right. 691 00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:43,680 Speaker 3: Serious and he's a big sports fan, and to him 692 00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:45,640 Speaker 3: it was almost, oh yeah, they're good attah. 693 00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:49,160 Speaker 1: But I think he's gonna fit just fine terms from 694 00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:51,160 Speaker 1: an athletic standpoint. 695 00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:53,800 Speaker 2: It'll be disconcerting seeing him wearing Texas gear the. 696 00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:55,160 Speaker 3: First time I've seen it already. 697 00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:58,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's what it's like. I don't know which 698 00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:00,960 Speaker 1: bugs me more, the burgundy of A and M or 699 00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:04,440 Speaker 1: the burn orange of Texas, and you tolerate either one. 700 00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:06,480 Speaker 3: Well, he went to a thing at A and M 701 00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:09,000 Speaker 3: and he got in there too, which was nice. But 702 00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:11,760 Speaker 3: he wanted, you tea. He wanted to go there, and 703 00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:14,400 Speaker 3: it had nothing to do with the athletic program, right. 704 00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:17,960 Speaker 1: Because he's got to have a life after college. What 705 00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:19,560 Speaker 1: better place to go if you're going to live in 706 00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:20,040 Speaker 1: this state. 707 00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:23,520 Speaker 2: Oh, I can't wait Luke Vandermire going off to Austin. 708 00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:24,520 Speaker 1: So proud of him. 709 00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:27,040 Speaker 2: Man It's been so cool to kind of watch him 710 00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:30,400 Speaker 2: grow up and take off for Austin.

We kind of are all 721 00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:05,480 Speaker 2: on the same page. I added a little bit of 722 00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:08,440 Speaker 2: a wrinkle to mine. We'll get to that next Texans 723 00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:12,160 Speaker 2: All Access. We got one final segment of this edition 724 00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:13,480 Speaker 2: that Texans All Access. 725 00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:14,719 Speaker 1: Appreciate you guys for. 726 00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:19,080 Speaker 2: Being here with me and my Game Day radio partners 727 00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:22,960 Speaker 2: Mark vandermir and our guest tonight, Andre. Where's not really 728 00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:24,640 Speaker 2: a guest. I don't know the right way of saying 729 00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:27,400 Speaker 2: it is. We need to have dre on much more often. 730 00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:29,200 Speaker 2: Love when he pops in because we talk about any 731 00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:32,480 Speaker 2: all kinds of stuff, and I got to a point 732 00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:35,359 Speaker 2: where we talked about everything NFL. We talked about it's 733 00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:38,919 Speaker 2: suck of college football, and so there's a question kind 734 00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:41,640 Speaker 2: of burning in my brain. After we talked about Luke 735 00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:44,720 Speaker 2: going to the University of Texas and started talking about 736 00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:49,600 Speaker 2: some college football, I came up with this thought and question. 737 00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:51,000 Speaker 3: Take a listen, we're. 738 00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:53,840 Speaker 2: Talking with college football. There's been so much change recently, 739 00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:56,360 Speaker 2: going to a twelve team playoff. The SEC has grown, 740 00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:58,439 Speaker 2: the Big ten has grown, the PAC twelve has died. 741 00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:01,920 Speaker 2: If you could take one change to college football in 742 00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:04,880 Speaker 2: any way, shape, or form a rule, something you'd like 743 00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:07,560 Speaker 2: to see, what would you What would you change? 744 00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:11,799 Speaker 1: Transfer portal? But what would I do? I would if 745 00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:15,440 Speaker 1: if you get a one time transfer, if I'm the 746 00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:17,680 Speaker 1: commissioner of the n C Double A or whatever the 747 00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:20,840 Speaker 1: title is, you get a one time transfer. If you're coaching, 748 00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:22,880 Speaker 1: you only get that transfer if the coach that you 749 00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:26,279 Speaker 1: signed under takes a job somewhere else, then you can go. 750 00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:31,440 Speaker 1: You can move freely. Okay, every move after that costs 751 00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:35,040 Speaker 1: you a year of eligibility, and that would stop. That 752 00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:37,600 Speaker 1: would put the brakes on it right there. I've watched 753 00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:41,359 Speaker 1: a kid go from. This would probably be either his 754 00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:44,960 Speaker 1: fourth or fifth school. He's going to Utah this year 755 00:35:45,520 --> 00:35:49,279 Speaker 1: as a receiver started I think at Oregon, went to 756 00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:51,640 Speaker 1: Florida State and there's a school in between there, and 757 00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:54,279 Speaker 1: then now he's made his way back to the to 758 00:35:54,360 --> 00:35:59,759 Speaker 1: the north, the Great Northwest. But it's to me, it's 759 00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:04,000 Speaker 1: you cannot live like this because you can't build rosters 760 00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:07,160 Speaker 1: if you're a coach. Forget in IL. They'll get some 761 00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:10,160 Speaker 1: some handle on that at some point, but it's the 762 00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:14,960 Speaker 1: transfer where you've got states lining up and passing legislation 763 00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:20,479 Speaker 1: to allow this to happen. And it is obviously people 764 00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:23,799 Speaker 1: that haven't played or coached the game that that's behind it, 765 00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:27,040 Speaker 1: that wants want the freedom of that type of movement. 766 00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:29,000 Speaker 1: But it's not good for It's not good for the game. 767 00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:31,040 Speaker 1: I mean, nor are we teaching kids how to be 768 00:36:31,080 --> 00:36:33,759 Speaker 1: competitive because if you don't win a job as a freshman, oh, 769 00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:36,160 Speaker 1: I'm going to transfer if I And all you're doing 770 00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:38,719 Speaker 1: is watering it down. The more that you move, where 771 00:36:38,760 --> 00:36:40,760 Speaker 1: do you call home? Right at the end of where's 772 00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:44,480 Speaker 1: this kid I'm talking? I'll leave him nameless. Now he's 773 00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:48,160 Speaker 1: got a brother in the NFL By the way and 774 00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:50,960 Speaker 1: where's he called home at the end of this journey. 775 00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:54,160 Speaker 1: I know I can go home to you of h 776 00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:55,000 Speaker 1: at the end of the day. 777 00:36:55,080 --> 00:36:55,960 Speaker 3: Which is important? 778 00:36:56,040 --> 00:36:58,200 Speaker 1: Is it important at the end? But they don't think 779 00:36:58,239 --> 00:36:59,920 Speaker 1: that way. Parents don't think. 780 00:36:59,719 --> 00:37:01,399 Speaker 3: That it's what they can get. 781 00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:04,120 Speaker 2: I've talked to a couple of college coaches and the 782 00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:07,840 Speaker 2: very first thing that they now ask, it's not how 783 00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:10,600 Speaker 2: much money getting playing time, is what's my kid going 784 00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:13,359 Speaker 2: to take academically? They walk in and it is how 785 00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:17,160 Speaker 2: much money? What's the money? And some schools are just like. 786 00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:20,359 Speaker 1: If you're seeing an academic pot, if you're seeing a 787 00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:23,879 Speaker 1: professor on a visit, yeah, that's just the check a box. Well, 788 00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:27,040 Speaker 1: these days, how many times have you heard in the 789 00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:29,360 Speaker 1: last year, year and a half have you heard the 790 00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:30,440 Speaker 1: term student athlete? 791 00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:31,920 Speaker 3: And not much? 792 00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:34,239 Speaker 1: The thing of the past, isn't it. Yeah, so that 793 00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:38,120 Speaker 1: concerns me about where did APR go? Yeah? Oh how 794 00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:41,560 Speaker 1: important was that years ago? I mean it's gone now 795 00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:45,200 Speaker 1: because you can't possibly track it with all the movement Mark. 796 00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:48,040 Speaker 3: I would do the same thing. I would restrict the 797 00:37:48,080 --> 00:37:51,840 Speaker 3: portal movements somehow. And I feel like, well, now the 798 00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:54,880 Speaker 3: schools are going to be allowed to pay players. I 799 00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:57,600 Speaker 3: always thought the money should flow in from the revenue 800 00:37:57,680 --> 00:38:00,719 Speaker 3: that the programs get from the sports, right. 801 00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:03,160 Speaker 1: So Dave Dorian had an idea with that we did. 802 00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:05,799 Speaker 1: We had NC State last year and his idea was 803 00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:11,319 Speaker 1: that you pay the players from stadium revenue. Okay, So, 804 00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:14,120 Speaker 1: however many fans that you have, I think that's where 805 00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:16,719 Speaker 1: we'll go. I think that's where it may go as well, 806 00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:19,919 Speaker 1: but it's it will come from a pot generated by 807 00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:21,720 Speaker 1: by fans in the seats. 808 00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:25,000 Speaker 3: So what do you do about the other sports? Because 809 00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:26,080 Speaker 3: they're not making money? 810 00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:29,520 Speaker 1: Right? That may be, That may be one has been 811 00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:30,000 Speaker 1: going for. 812 00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:33,239 Speaker 3: A long What about basketball because you know, you might 813 00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:35,479 Speaker 3: have a hot shot point guard who plays for Seat 814 00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:37,680 Speaker 3: and Hall, but they draw maybe three thousand a game 815 00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:38,040 Speaker 3: if that. 816 00:38:38,440 --> 00:38:42,200 Speaker 1: Unfortunately, everything else takes a seat to football right now, 817 00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:46,759 Speaker 1: because that's where the biggest problem of money is coming from, 818 00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:50,760 Speaker 1: but from TV's TV contract. Yeah, so it's not nearly 819 00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:53,719 Speaker 1: as much on a TV contract for basketball with these 820 00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:55,360 Speaker 1: conferences as they are for football. 821 00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:57,760 Speaker 3: Well, then you have the women's basketball teams that were saying. 822 00:38:57,600 --> 00:39:01,279 Speaker 1: Hey, look you got softball, you got everything that you've 823 00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:04,200 Speaker 1: got to figure out a way to be fair eighty. 824 00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:08,120 Speaker 3: Team Super League Football that was gonna be my men's 825 00:39:08,120 --> 00:39:11,320 Speaker 3: and women's basketball, and cut it off their handle baseball 826 00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:13,359 Speaker 3: softball differently. Just cut it off. 827 00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:16,879 Speaker 1: Then I'm good. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think they are. 828 00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:18,720 Speaker 3: I think they're in the eighties. 829 00:39:18,760 --> 00:39:20,960 Speaker 1: I think they're in my mind would be oh, just look, 830 00:39:21,120 --> 00:39:23,600 Speaker 1: just put the four power conferences together? How many how 831 00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:25,800 Speaker 1: many teams do you have there? You have almost eighty. 832 00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:27,280 Speaker 1: Now you're gonna get close. 833 00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:32,880 Speaker 2: You're getting close sixty four and kind of putting the 834 00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:37,360 Speaker 2: putting that together is they've got Football's got a breakaway. 835 00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:39,440 Speaker 2: Football's got to break away from the NCY Double A. 836 00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:41,719 Speaker 2: They just have to have their own way of doing it, 837 00:39:41,719 --> 00:39:44,960 Speaker 2: because the numbers don't match up. Title nine wise, nothing 838 00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:47,799 Speaker 2: matches up. Football's got to move away and be kind 839 00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:50,680 Speaker 2: of its own entity. Then it sets up the eighty 840 00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:53,600 Speaker 2: or sixty or forty whatever set it up like Premier 841 00:39:53,640 --> 00:39:54,240 Speaker 2: League soccer. 842 00:39:54,560 --> 00:39:55,000 Speaker 1: Do that. 843 00:39:55,200 --> 00:39:57,600 Speaker 3: But Football's got a break Relegation would be awesome. 844 00:39:57,960 --> 00:40:02,080 Speaker 1: Football promotion its own kind of its own management and 845 00:40:02,239 --> 00:40:05,120 Speaker 1: commissioner or whatever. And then you still allow the n 846 00:40:05,120 --> 00:40:08,279 Speaker 1: C Double A to control the basketball tournament, which they've 847 00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:09,640 Speaker 1: done a fine job of. 848 00:40:10,120 --> 00:40:12,280 Speaker 3: Do the football players have to say that. 849 00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:14,080 Speaker 1: I gave the n C Double A a compliment. 850 00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:16,840 Speaker 3: Well with the basketball situation, well, I am worried about you. 851 00:40:17,120 --> 00:40:17,799 Speaker 2: K no. 852 00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:22,920 Speaker 1: I read last night something there was a group oh 853 00:40:23,360 --> 00:40:28,680 Speaker 1: n C State their national championship team a lawsuit for 854 00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:30,759 Speaker 1: n I L because of how much the n C 855 00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:35,080 Speaker 1: Double A has used that team in its videos and 856 00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:36,600 Speaker 1: storytelling and so on. 857 00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:39,800 Speaker 2: If your NIL number at Houston in the late eighties 858 00:40:39,840 --> 00:40:40,960 Speaker 2: would have been sick. 859 00:40:42,360 --> 00:40:44,920 Speaker 1: I remember we had a T shirt Where's the Heisman? 860 00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:48,959 Speaker 1: And we couldn't use W A R E to sell 861 00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:52,719 Speaker 1: the shirts. We had to come back. They reprinted and 862 00:40:52,760 --> 00:40:54,279 Speaker 1: it was W H E R E. 863 00:40:55,160 --> 00:40:58,359 Speaker 3: Oh sounds right, It just didn't. It would have looked 864 00:40:58,360 --> 00:41:01,040 Speaker 3: so cool in print, right, Oh my gosh. 865 00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:02,279 Speaker 1: I couldn't use it, though. 866 00:41:02,840 --> 00:41:04,640 Speaker 3: Well, now you just go ahead and give you up. 867 00:41:04,880 --> 00:41:07,200 Speaker 1: Do it, not proceeds. Just go to a TV I 868 00:41:07,200 --> 00:41:10,120 Speaker 1: mean a T shirt dealer and do it and split 869 00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:12,440 Speaker 1: the proceeds with the school and go on to the 870 00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:15,160 Speaker 1: rest of it. I'd give to my foundation. 871 00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:19,080 Speaker 3: Which shocked me. About the Johnny Manzil documentary, what everyone 872 00:41:19,160 --> 00:41:21,239 Speaker 3: jumped on this. They could have had him stay another 873 00:41:21,280 --> 00:41:23,799 Speaker 3: year for three million years and they weren't even discussing 874 00:41:23,840 --> 00:41:26,759 Speaker 3: the fact that this is pre nil. This is just 875 00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:29,640 Speaker 3: like people were saying, just pay them the money. I'm thinking, 876 00:41:30,120 --> 00:41:31,360 Speaker 3: just pay him the money. 877 00:41:31,880 --> 00:41:34,600 Speaker 1: This was about be half the game suspension when he 878 00:41:34,719 --> 00:41:39,480 Speaker 1: did it. But that's that's the funny boss against Rice. Yeah, 879 00:41:39,600 --> 00:41:42,840 Speaker 1: come give me a break, guys, game suspension. If it 880 00:41:42,920 --> 00:41:44,880 Speaker 1: wasn't A and M, and it wasn't Manziel at that 881 00:41:45,040 --> 00:41:47,600 Speaker 1: time being the hot you know, the lightning rod of 882 00:41:47,920 --> 00:41:51,239 Speaker 1: college football, so to speak, anybody else would have been 883 00:41:51,320 --> 00:41:52,640 Speaker 1: hung from their shoelaces. 884 00:41:52,680 --> 00:41:54,759 Speaker 2: Well, the shame of it was two years later, if 885 00:41:54,760 --> 00:41:58,840 Speaker 2: you remember this, Todd Gurley fourteen, He's right, Gurley was 886 00:41:59,040 --> 00:42:02,560 Speaker 2: killing it. He end up missing games. Yeah, but at 887 00:42:02,560 --> 00:42:04,960 Speaker 2: the end of the season. Now for a running back, 888 00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:07,840 Speaker 2: he'd probably already done really what he needed to do 889 00:42:07,880 --> 00:42:10,400 Speaker 2: it Georgia. But still, you miss missed games at the 890 00:42:10,440 --> 00:42:12,080 Speaker 2: end of the season for stuff like that. 891 00:42:12,080 --> 00:42:12,560 Speaker 3: That's awful. 892 00:42:12,600 --> 00:42:16,400 Speaker 1: And I think that's why people are so have strong 893 00:42:16,480 --> 00:42:20,120 Speaker 1: opinions about the NCAA because there was never a fair 894 00:42:20,800 --> 00:42:23,879 Speaker 1: penalty handed down from school to school. There was never 895 00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:26,200 Speaker 1: really a right way to do it, or a scale 896 00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:29,239 Speaker 1: sliding scale, so to speak. It was just like it 897 00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:32,080 Speaker 1: slid too much. I've got one more for you. By 898 00:42:32,120 --> 00:42:35,840 Speaker 1: the way, what was your nickname for Rice and Crispy? 899 00:42:36,120 --> 00:42:39,560 Speaker 1: And he's not here, It's okay, and don't watch this raight. 900 00:42:39,640 --> 00:42:42,960 Speaker 1: I got one more for you. High school sports. 901 00:42:43,360 --> 00:42:46,640 Speaker 3: You played them at the highest level, really enjoyed them, Dickinson. 902 00:42:46,840 --> 00:42:48,440 Speaker 3: I was down at your stadium because my kid had 903 00:42:48,440 --> 00:42:50,239 Speaker 3: a track meet. There was very cool to see and 904 00:42:50,719 --> 00:42:54,239 Speaker 3: you're honored there and everything. So high school sports. You 905 00:42:54,280 --> 00:42:57,319 Speaker 3: have a son who's really good at baseball and basketball 906 00:42:58,000 --> 00:43:01,400 Speaker 3: and he plays on these select teamsames are we headed 907 00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:05,360 Speaker 3: for high school sports already? It feels like in basketball 908 00:43:05,719 --> 00:43:08,120 Speaker 3: the basketball coaches just don't have the power they used 909 00:43:08,160 --> 00:43:10,000 Speaker 3: to as far as where these kids might end up 910 00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:12,440 Speaker 3: and everything. It's the AAU stuff, right, I mean, how 911 00:43:12,520 --> 00:43:14,920 Speaker 3: is all that working right now? I know football is different, 912 00:43:15,320 --> 00:43:18,600 Speaker 3: but especially in basketball, maybe baseball, I don't know. You 913 00:43:18,680 --> 00:43:20,240 Speaker 3: tell me it's house already. 914 00:43:20,239 --> 00:43:23,360 Speaker 1: Some states already have a legislation in the process of 915 00:43:24,600 --> 00:43:27,759 Speaker 1: awarding nil to high school athletes. So that's what we 916 00:43:27,800 --> 00:43:31,160 Speaker 1: have to look forward to next good and you know, 917 00:43:31,239 --> 00:43:34,000 Speaker 1: Florida coaches don't have to worry about if you're recruiting 918 00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:37,279 Speaker 1: my kid for a high school or a college. It 919 00:43:37,320 --> 00:43:39,640 Speaker 1: ain't gonna be because you're you know, we're trying to 920 00:43:39,840 --> 00:43:41,600 Speaker 1: leverage you the highest bidder. 921 00:43:41,640 --> 00:43:42,520 Speaker 3: You want the situation. 922 00:43:42,600 --> 00:43:45,120 Speaker 1: I want you to know that, hey, he is going there. 923 00:43:45,120 --> 00:43:47,000 Speaker 1: He's going to be there. And I just had him 924 00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:49,000 Speaker 1: stick it out on a team that I probably should 925 00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:51,520 Speaker 1: have moved him off of in two weeks into it 926 00:43:51,560 --> 00:43:54,279 Speaker 1: in a baseball team. But it's neither here nor there. 927 00:43:54,280 --> 00:43:57,640 Speaker 1: You try to teach your kids, let life lessons and 928 00:43:57,719 --> 00:44:00,759 Speaker 1: that'll stick with it. Commitment, things that sort. You make 929 00:44:00,800 --> 00:44:04,360 Speaker 1: a decision, you stick with it. I probably he probably 930 00:44:04,400 --> 00:44:06,360 Speaker 1: would be in a better state of mind had I 931 00:44:06,440 --> 00:44:10,520 Speaker 1: moved him, and I probably should have looking back, because 932 00:44:10,520 --> 00:44:13,400 Speaker 1: I think it it played with his love of the 933 00:44:13,440 --> 00:44:16,239 Speaker 1: game a little bit. And when you start getting into that, 934 00:44:17,520 --> 00:44:19,480 Speaker 1: and it's a long story, i'll tell you guys off air. 935 00:44:19,520 --> 00:44:22,080 Speaker 3: But are you still a proponent of play multiple sports? 936 00:44:22,400 --> 00:44:26,319 Speaker 1: Absolutely? Because one helps the other. I mean, you can 937 00:44:26,400 --> 00:44:29,680 Speaker 1: never get too much of uh, hand and eye coordination 938 00:44:29,840 --> 00:44:33,520 Speaker 1: type stuff, and I think one helps the other. Different 939 00:44:33,560 --> 00:44:37,680 Speaker 1: movements help the other. Think playing football, to come back 940 00:44:37,719 --> 00:44:42,680 Speaker 1: to basketball develops toughness, and you see it in certain kids. 941 00:44:42,760 --> 00:44:45,200 Speaker 1: I see it in certain kids that I coach, right, 942 00:44:45,320 --> 00:44:48,279 Speaker 1: and not for everyone, but certainly some, Okay, And I 943 00:44:48,280 --> 00:44:51,719 Speaker 1: think that's you. Definitely keep them in as many sports 944 00:44:51,880 --> 00:44:53,520 Speaker 1: as they want to play, for as long as they 945 00:44:53,520 --> 00:44:55,359 Speaker 1: want to do it, and then there's plenty of time 946 00:44:56,160 --> 00:44:59,200 Speaker 1: by your sophomore, junior, senior years in high school to 947 00:44:59,200 --> 00:45:00,279 Speaker 1: specialize in one. 948 00:45:00,360 --> 00:45:02,520 Speaker 2: I don't think kids are gonna play three sports anymore. 949 00:45:02,680 --> 00:45:04,120 Speaker 2: I know, like I did. That was way back. 950 00:45:04,200 --> 00:45:06,279 Speaker 1: I got played four. I would run a track eating 951 00:45:06,320 --> 00:45:10,560 Speaker 1: him pitched that night, right, But play two? Play two 952 00:45:10,560 --> 00:45:13,440 Speaker 1: of them play football, baseball, basketball, and baseball. 953 00:45:13,560 --> 00:45:18,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, geez, that's a lot letter jacket at home. 954 00:45:18,400 --> 00:45:24,879 Speaker 1: Uh at well, my mom's I've got four sports on there?

No, I can't even get into one from you, 957 00:45:28,560 --> 00:45:30,680 Speaker 1: of h let alone the one in high school.
