1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,680
Speaker 1: Hello, Texans, and welcome to the program. Here from Combine

2
00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:06,600
Speaker 1: Radio Row in the city of Indianapolis, and it's our

3
00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:09,920
Speaker 1: final show from here where the entire show comes from here.

4
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:12,040
Speaker 1: But we have a lot of interviews we got through

5
00:00:12,039 --> 00:00:13,920
Speaker 1: the course of the week that we're gonna be playing

6
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:17,000
Speaker 1: next week and maybe in the coming weeks, because they're

7
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:20,279
Speaker 1: not exactly timed out to whatever happens at these workouts

8
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:23,520
Speaker 1: this weekend, and most of the big workouts are happening

9
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:28,320
Speaker 1: today tomorrow Sunday quarterbacks, and we met some of them

10
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:31,720
Speaker 1: this morning. They greeted the media, They met with a

11
00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:35,040
Speaker 1: sea of media in the case of Bryce Young and CJ.

12
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:38,519
Speaker 1: Stroud and Anthony Richardson and Will Levis. So you can

13
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:40,960
Speaker 1: see some of those photos on my Twitter feed at

14
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 1: Texan's Voice. Of course, Johnny's gonna have a lot to

15
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:46,600
Speaker 1: say about them, and let's check in with some people

16
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:48,840
Speaker 1: who have a lot to say about the Combine in general.

17
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:52,880
Speaker 1: All right, Later on today, rich Eisen on the program

18
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:56,760
Speaker 1: visiting with DEPCITU. That's good stuff. And Rhett Lewis, who's

19
00:00:56,800 --> 00:01:00,639
Speaker 1: on NFL Network and is the brother of somebody who

20
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 1: works for the Texans. Morgan Kleinschmidt, who works in player development.

21
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:08,959
Speaker 1: So obviously there's a local organizational angle with us with that.

22
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:11,559
Speaker 1: But Red is a very well known guy on national TV,

23
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 1: so we'll catch up with him. But let's start it

24
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:18,680
Speaker 1: off here. Draft expert Daniel Jeremiah Johnny and I had

25
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 1: a chance to catch up with him. How's it going, Daniel,

26
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 1: I'm doing great. How are you guys doing doing well?

27
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 1: You also are the color commentator on Chargers Radio, which

28
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 1: is cool and former semi member of Texans Radio. That's right,

29
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:32,759
Speaker 1: like a decade ago, we had you on every week

30
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:35,320
Speaker 1: and then we replaced you with John. I know you

31
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 1: upgraded in a big way, but that was that was

32
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,400
Speaker 1: actually and I've told you this before, but that was

33
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:42,399
Speaker 1: great for me because I just kind of moved into

34
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 1: the media after coming out of scouting and just reps, right,

35
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 1: you want to get reps and it marks great. Gave

36
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 1: me reps every week. DJ. I want to ask you

37
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 1: this because you are, you know, part of the Chargers

38
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:55,280
Speaker 1: squad and you and I talked in Nineteene that you

39
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 1: came down like I think it was probably fifteen minutes

40
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 1: before the game, and I saw you were a little

41
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 1: bit and it was kind of the scouting you wanted

42
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 1: to kind of get an up close personal view of things.

43
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 1: How has it changed the way that you analyze draft

44
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 1: prospects because you do get a chance to see an

45
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 1: NFL game every single week as opposed to you're seeing

46
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 1: college games every week when you're doing it and scouting,

47
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 1: has that changed it all for you? The fact that

48
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:20,639
Speaker 1: you get to see the true dudes and then how

49
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,680
Speaker 1: the next group of dudes coming in compare one hundred percent.

50
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 1: And I think that's one of the things that smart

51
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:28,680
Speaker 1: personnel departments do is that they cross train their guys,

52
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 1: you know, so they're seeing both. I know just from

53
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 1: time on the road as a college scout, you'd watch

54
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 1: college players all year long, and then you get all

55
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 1: of a sudden you go out to training camp and

56
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 1: we'd have to value our own roster. And it works

57
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 1: both ways. Some of it's like, oh my gosh, like

58
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 1: this is what it looks, so this is what it's

59
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:45,920
Speaker 1: supposed to look like. And then the other side of

60
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 1: it is like, Okay, I've been searching for this mythical

61
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:51,800
Speaker 1: right tackle that doesn't exist, Like this is what plays like.

62
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 1: You may be being a little too hard on these kids,

63
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 1: because these are what the starting tackles, right tackles look

64
00:02:56,760 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 1: like in the NFL. What about quarterback Daniel, because that

65
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 1: subject has come up around here and the translation of

66
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 1: how they perform in college versus how it goes down

67
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:08,919
Speaker 1: in the NFL and when to play in all of that,

68
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:12,800
Speaker 1: Your thoughts on that process, Yeah, I mean it's it

69
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 1: is the same game, but a different game. You know.

70
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 1: It's obviously there's a lot more spread in space in

71
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 1: college than there is in the NFL. It's a lot

72
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:21,960
Speaker 1: more restricted, a lot more condensed. So you've got to

73
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:25,240
Speaker 1: factor all that stuff in your evaluation. But I've you know,

74
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:28,520
Speaker 1: I think we can all see the traits. You know,

75
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:30,920
Speaker 1: can you throw the ball accurately? Can you can you

76
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 1: extend plays, create plays? You make good decisions? You turn

77
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 1: the ball over? Like? I think those things are not

78
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 1: the heart evaluation of the quarterback. The hard part of

79
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 1: the evaluation is getting to know how the guy's wired.

80
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 1: You know, what type of commitment level, what type of intelligence?

81
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 1: You know, those are the That's the thing on this

82
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 1: side of it's darnier impossible because you just don't get

83
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 1: spend enough time around them to get those questions answered

84
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 1: Daniel as you do your mock draft, and I don't

85
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:54,120
Speaker 1: know if you guys just don't do trades or can't

86
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 1: do trades, or don't want to do it, I don't know.

87
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 1: But if the draft stays where it is, you would

88
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 1: think if the Bears are going to stay to it,

89
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 1: they're gonna take Jalen Carter and then obviously puts Bryce

90
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 1: Young there at number two. Hey, do you think it

91
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 1: stays that way? Do you think there is a trade

92
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 1: up to number one? And if Rice Young is available,

93
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 1: does you make the right fit for the Houston Texas

94
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 1: at two? Yeah? Two, Part number one. I don't do

95
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 1: trades early because it just makes it kind of can

96
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:19,160
Speaker 1: muck up the whole process. And so I just look

97
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:21,360
Speaker 1: until we get to free agency and see how these

98
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:23,119
Speaker 1: the deck gets shuffled. I'm not going to do trades.

99
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:26,039
Speaker 1: You will at the end of the process. I don't

100
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 1: think the Bears stay at one. I think they trade it.

101
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 1: I think they either trade it. And you know, the

102
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:33,840
Speaker 1: three that I think will be the most motivated would

103
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 1: be two, four and nine. You know, so with Houston

104
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 1: Indian in Carolina, we got the Raiders in there at seven,

105
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 1: we'll see what they do. The veteran thing or not

106
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 1: seems to be more of a veteran team. I would

107
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:45,160
Speaker 1: think that would be the way that they would go.

108
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 1: But I think the other three there will be some

109
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 1: motivation there. Oh my thoughts on Bryce Young here, let's

110
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:54,039
Speaker 1: just get it out there. Okay, he's a tremendous playmaker,

111
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 1: great college quarterback. Everyone's talking about the size. But what

112
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:00,159
Speaker 1: are you seeing as far as how his game fits

113
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:03,039
Speaker 1: on Sunday. Well, I don't think it fits every place.

114
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:05,839
Speaker 1: I think it fits two and four. I look, I

115
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 1: just look at where you guys play. I look in

116
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:10,040
Speaker 1: that division. I think it works in there. I think

117
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 1: you know, you go out and get some interior offensive

118
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:14,039
Speaker 1: lineman to be a little bit more firm in the middle.

119
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:16,279
Speaker 1: I think that'll help. But I think all of his

120
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 1: skills translate. And I like the fact that you take

121
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:22,039
Speaker 1: him at his lack of size, but he gets to

122
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 1: play in weather controlled environment. Um, I think it's I

123
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:26,920
Speaker 1: think it's a great fit. I was so mad at

124
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 1: you this spring because I just finished my ride up

125
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:30,720
Speaker 1: and I did a player comp and I wrote Drew

126
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:34,479
Speaker 1: Brees for for Bryce Young. Yeah, and about three weeks

127
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 1: later I see you tweet. Yeah, his comp is bright

128
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:40,159
Speaker 1: is Drew Brees, And I hit my head and I

129
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 1: just went I did this back in May time stamping.

130
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 1: But that said, as a pertains of Brice, everybody knows

131
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 1: he's short. Everybody knows it. For you and for evaluators,

132
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:57,480
Speaker 1: is there an absolute just can't take a guy because height? Wait?

133
00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 1: Is there a particular trait or character risk tick? Now

134
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:02,600
Speaker 1: you look at for a quarterback and go, no, way,

135
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 1: won't do it? Not. I mean from a physical standpoint,

136
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:09,599
Speaker 1: I think there's thresholds, you know. So to me, you know,

137
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:11,920
Speaker 1: his arm has to be strong enough, right, you know,

138
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:14,480
Speaker 1: you know, athletic the way the game's played now, you

139
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 1: gotta be able to move around enough. So I don't

140
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:18,359
Speaker 1: think that means you have to be the strongest arm.

141
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 1: I don't think you have to be the most accurate guy.

142
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 1: But that in terms of the size, the height, because

143
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:25,360
Speaker 1: these kids, he's been this height his whole life, they've played,

144
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 1: he's played at the highest, highest level and he's been excellent.

145
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 1: You know, the tip passes are not an issue for him.

146
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 1: There's nothing like that. There's maybe you can watch tape

147
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:35,480
Speaker 1: and you'll see a couple plays like, I don't think

148
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:37,920
Speaker 1: he could really see there. But I've seen Russell Wilson,

149
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 1: you know, have the success he's had at that height.

150
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 1: So the height thing doesn't bother me. The weight thing,

151
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously, if he showed up here and he

152
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 1: was one hundred and eighty two pounds, I'd be a

153
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 1: little nervous. But I think he's gonna show up and

154
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 1: be two hundred pounds and and that won't be as

155
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:53,920
Speaker 1: big of a concern. I think the the hard set

156
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:58,920
Speaker 1: rules of don't touch with that position are more character related, intelligence, work, ethic.

157
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:02,160
Speaker 1: That's that's no like it's hard enough. Man, when you're

158
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 1: doing all that stuff, that doesn't guarantee success, But if

159
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:07,039
Speaker 1: you're not willing to put in the work, you've got

160
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 1: no chance. Daniel Jeremiah joining us on Combine Radio Row.

161
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 1: All right, the legend of Anthony Richardson. If here, if

162
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 1: he throws well here this week, does he shoot up

163
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 1: all the media boards like crazy? Well, I you know,

164
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 1: coming into the process before he even picks up the football.

165
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 1: I think most people would agree he's got the most

166
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 1: ability of anybody. Like I always say, if you're an

167
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 1: alien in your spaceship landing. You only got to see

168
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,040
Speaker 1: one week of college football. It was when he played Utah.

169
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 1: You say he's the best player, he's the best player here,

170
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 1: but you know, the consistency wasn't there, and he hasn't

171
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 1: played a ton of football, so he's he is the

172
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 1: ultimate boomer bust player. I think he will. He will

173
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 1: put on a show here. He's built for this. So

174
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 1: it's just a matter how much risk you want to assume,

175
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 1: and really do you believe in your development group that

176
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:56,240
Speaker 1: you have in the plan in place. Some people said

177
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 1: he needs to play because he hasn't played that much.

178
00:07:58,080 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 1: I think it's a bad idea. I think he needs to,

179
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 1: you know, use the Mahomes formula. Let him sit for

180
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 1: a year, let him to get his feet dialed in,

181
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 1: let him understand and digest the offense. He's a smart guy,

182
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 1: but let him get control of all that information and

183
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 1: then I think you'll start to see, you know, him

184
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 1: trying to work through some of those flaws. But but

185
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 1: you've been a part of NFL organizations and the Mahomes

186
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 1: plan worked because they had Alex Smith and they were

187
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 1: still doing well. Yeah, you don't do well, But here's

188
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 1: the example. Here's the example. I had him going to

189
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 1: the Lions. Okay, the Lions fans lost their ever picking

190
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:33,440
Speaker 1: mind and they said the uh yeah, yeah, Richardson, Richardson, Richardson. Um,

191
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 1: so I said, what what is the uh you know,

192
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:38,600
Speaker 1: what's the knock? What's the knock here? So, oh, we've

193
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 1: got Jared Goff. He's playing winning football. I said, yeah, No,

194
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 1: Alex Smith is playing winning football too, right. This guy's

195
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:45,079
Speaker 1: upside is through the roof and he costs you nothing.

196
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 1: So um you know that, That to me was was

197
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:49,719
Speaker 1: why I went there. I think it's one of the

198
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 1: hardest things for fans to see is the forecast beyond

199
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:55,319
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three or the current year. I think that's

200
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 1: the hardest thing to see, Like, oh, no, we need

201
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,720
Speaker 1: this right now. We'll wait a second. Let's think about

202
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:01,720
Speaker 1: what you can be in the future, and then also

203
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:04,319
Speaker 1: seeing a players ceiling or what that ceiling could be

204
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 1: with what you already. These guys don't all cost the

205
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:12,200
Speaker 1: same either, right, So it's not Jared Goff versus Florida quarterback.

206
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 1: It's not you're looking at him versus the three or

207
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:18,080
Speaker 1: four extra players you get to add because you have

208
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 1: that extra money. Yeah. Absolutely. In this draft, Daniel, the

209
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:26,440
Speaker 1: best and deepest position is the one you have the

210
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 1: most questions about, is well, I think the deepest position.

211
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 1: I love the edge rusher group. I think there's a

212
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:35,320
Speaker 1: ton of them. I've said it's the best tight end

213
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 1: group in the last ten years. So those would be

214
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:38,840
Speaker 1: two that come right off the top of my head.

215
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 1: The receiver position is nowhere near what it's been the

216
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 1: last few years, so that's the one that's down. How

217
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:45,560
Speaker 1: hard is it for you, Daniel to check your work

218
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 1: in previous drafts and see how things panned out. Did

219
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 1: I get that right about these players or not? How

220
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 1: do you go about that process? Very scientific? Mark? What

221
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 1: I do is, I wait, I have all of this

222
00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 1: in an next Excel sheet, So I have you know,

223
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:02,199
Speaker 1: is there a lines he's a maniac. He does like

224
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 1: five hundred players. I do four hundred. That's it. So

225
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:07,200
Speaker 1: I do four hundred players. And then three years after

226
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:09,680
Speaker 1: the draft, in the summer, one day, in between jumping

227
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 1: and out of the pool, I'll come in, I'll pull

228
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:13,560
Speaker 1: out that Excel sheet and I can look, you know,

229
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 1: at the games, if they started production all that kind

230
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 1: of stuff, It's not a scientific but I'll just go

231
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:20,440
Speaker 1: I'll highlight him and green if I is a thumbs up,

232
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:22,320
Speaker 1: and I'll highlight him and read if it's a thumbs down.

233
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 1: And you go through and I have the blurbs of

234
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 1: what I said about the players as well, and you'd

235
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:29,680
Speaker 1: be amazed, like over the years there are telltale signs

236
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:31,400
Speaker 1: and you're like, you dummy, Like how did you not

237
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:34,480
Speaker 1: see this? Like this is all in there to that point.

238
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:38,480
Speaker 1: What's the biggest miss that taught you the most? I'll

239
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:40,080
Speaker 1: give you mine. Do you let you think about that?

240
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 1: And he knows it, Dwayne Brown. I lost my absolute

241
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:45,200
Speaker 1: ever love and you know what the day the Texans

242
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:48,480
Speaker 1: drafted Dwayne Brown, because I just like, no way, what

243
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 1: I missed was the fact that he had elite athletic

244
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 1: skill and he wanted it, he wanted to be great,

245
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 1: and at that point those two can get you at

246
00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 1: least a lot farther than I expected him to be

247
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 1: and up turning into pro bowler. That is sort of

248
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:04,440
Speaker 1: mark my entire the rest of the way that I

249
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:07,080
Speaker 1: look at prospects. Who was there somebody like that for

250
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 1: you that you missed and went, Okay, what did I

251
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:10,839
Speaker 1: learn from that? And how you carry that forward. Yeah,

252
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 1: I mean Kevin White's won like the receiver and then

253
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 1: I'd be out this the other day, Like big twelve

254
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:17,720
Speaker 1: receivers has been a trail of tears and it's just

255
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 1: a different game that they play. But height, weight, speed,

256
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 1: guys who have inconsistent hands and can't run the full

257
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 1: compliment or routes don't don't do it. Yeah, So that

258
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:27,840
Speaker 1: was a lesson there. And the other thing I would

259
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:30,960
Speaker 1: say is there's I have this list actually to made

260
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:33,200
Speaker 1: a document out of it to like remind myself non

261
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:37,079
Speaker 1: negotiables corners that can't find and play the football done.

262
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 1: I don't care if they run four two five, they're

263
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:42,200
Speaker 1: six two, two hundred and fifteen pounds and your fluid

264
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:43,839
Speaker 1: and athletic. If you can't find and play the ball

265
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:45,559
Speaker 1: in college, you don't magically learn how to find and

266
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:47,440
Speaker 1: play the ball in the NFL. Wait, go back to

267
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 1: the receivers here, height weight, speed guys so really fast,

268
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:53,120
Speaker 1: big guys. If they don't have the hands in college,

269
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:55,280
Speaker 1: you don't think they're gonna It's a combination. It's the

270
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 1: combination of the hands and the route running. So if

271
00:11:57,520 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 1: you can't if you can't drop your weight if you

272
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:01,319
Speaker 1: in other words, if you're STI if you're a stiff

273
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:04,480
Speaker 1: straight line speed receiver who has inconsistent hands. It is

274
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:07,080
Speaker 1: a trail of tiers of guys with that profile. Bunch

275
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:09,560
Speaker 1: of interesting. Yeah, and you can find guys that you

276
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:11,800
Speaker 1: can find guys that didn't run as well, that were

277
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:13,959
Speaker 1: pristine route runners and you'd say, oh, but he doesn't run.

278
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:16,240
Speaker 1: Cooper Cup didn't run all that fast days And there's

279
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:19,320
Speaker 1: Davanta Adams four, five, seven, Uh, yeah, you know who's

280
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:20,959
Speaker 1: the outlier in that group you talked about with the

281
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 1: Big twelve because it hit me right away and then

282
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:25,120
Speaker 1: I was like, what else nobody else? Ceedee Lamb, Yeah,

283
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:27,360
Speaker 1: it was a route runner, is route runner and great hands.

284
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 1: So there's three. There's three of the of like I

285
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 1: looked at, like the last seventeen Big twelve receivers drafted

286
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 1: in the first two or three rounds, three of them

287
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:38,360
Speaker 1: have been really good players. Lockett was a route runner

288
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 1: in Kansas State. Um, you had Ceedee Lamb was a

289
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:43,560
Speaker 1: route runner. And then and one that people won't realize,

290
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:46,200
Speaker 1: but Hollywood Brown was a really good route runner at Oklahoma.

291
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 1: He was fast all get out, but he could run

292
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 1: all the routes like DeShawn Jackson. Good Daniel, we know

293
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:51,800

00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:37,560
Speaker 1: this is this is great because for the longest time

326
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:42,960
Speaker 1: I was known as Dean Kleinschmidt's son who spent forty

327
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 1: years in the league as a head athletic trainer. And

328
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:48,760
Speaker 1: so now I'm Morgan's brother, which is great. H So

329
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 1: I just I'm happy to kind of fall in line there.

330
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 1: She loves Houston. She loves you guys. She loves working

331
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:57,320
Speaker 1: for the Texans and spending some time you know, around

332
00:14:57,320 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 1: you guys, and around Drew who I've known for a

333
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:02,200
Speaker 1: long time, and DP and UM seeing Dylan last the

334
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:04,400
Speaker 1: last couple of days with you know, works with her

335
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 1: and then in the player development role. Um, it's easy

336
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:09,360
Speaker 1: to see why she loves being a part of the Texas.

337
00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:11,960
Speaker 1: But we have to carve out a niche in some

338
00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:14,360
Speaker 1: way for you. Oh yeah, that's right by the way

339
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:20,360
Speaker 1: of personalities that NFL network. But you do you do

340
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:23,480
Speaker 1: a heck of a job, right, you do, so you

341
00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:26,560
Speaker 1: seem like you do a million different things an NFL network.

342
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:29,080
Speaker 1: You're You're fair, You're sort of the darren sproles, if

343
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:30,760
Speaker 1: you will, because they can put you anywhere and you

344
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:34,320
Speaker 1: can do pretty much anything. And where are you expanding

345
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 1: to now? Like what all kind of lands on your plate? Well,

346
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:40,680
Speaker 1: so this is my favorite time of year. For one.

347
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 1: This is like Christmas to me, truly it is and

348
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:46,920
Speaker 1: really goes back to playoff time because playoff time is

349
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:49,360
Speaker 1: also All Star game season. As we kind of make

350
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:52,120
Speaker 1: that push, that beginning of that push towards the path

351
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 1: to the draft, right, And so that's what I love

352
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:57,000
Speaker 1: when like those worlds really collide and then post Super

353
00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:59,560
Speaker 1: Bowl we really get that focus into the draft, right.

354
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 1: And so I just I love this part of the job,

355
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:06,760
Speaker 1: like the draft, the combine. That's kind of become my

356
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:09,680
Speaker 1: niche more so on these last couple of years, I

357
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:13,000
Speaker 1: host our daily draft show, which begins in April, path

358
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 1: of the Draft, which I love, gonna be a part

359
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:18,560
Speaker 1: of our our work for NFL plus on doing the

360
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:22,280
Speaker 1: on field drills on Thursday and Friday, and so really

361
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 1: excited about that and just getting to know college players

362
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:28,400
Speaker 1: because it's also become another part. I do the color

363
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:32,160
Speaker 1: for the Indiana football radio broadcasts. I did that for

364
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:35,120
Speaker 1: the first time this year. So it's great now because

365
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:36,840
Speaker 1: like I used that to help me with this, right

366
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:38,720
Speaker 1: because I see those players in person. So now I

367
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:40,600
Speaker 1: could talk about all these guys that I've seen live

368
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:43,360
Speaker 1: and not just getting to see them for the first

369
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:45,720
Speaker 1: time at the combine anymore, which is great. So I

370
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:47,200
Speaker 1: just like I love this time of year. I love

371
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:49,000
Speaker 1: the opportunities that I get to be a part of

372
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:51,400
Speaker 1: our draft coverage, you know, which starts here with the combine.

373
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:53,800
Speaker 1: So I can ask you about Cam Jones. Let's go

374
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:57,520
Speaker 1: Cam Jones. He's gonna do really well in the drills.

375
00:16:57,720 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 1: But the things that you're gonna love and people and

376
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:01,440
Speaker 1: team you're gonna love about Cam Jones and things that

377
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:03,200
Speaker 1: people aren't going to see, which are the interviews. He

378
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:05,480
Speaker 1: is going to ace nuts stuff. He is Walter Payton

379
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:08,119
Speaker 1: NFL Man of the Year material in the league. He

380
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:10,960

00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:34,440
Speaker 1: play by play and color man. I'm just gonna try

389
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 1: to do the one man band thing. I didn't love

390
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:39,640
Speaker 1: it for a while with Drew my first s thought.

391
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:41,560
Speaker 1: So yeah, no, I just I want to be a

392
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:44,520
Speaker 1: part of game broadcast. Mark right, truly right? So, Ray

393
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:48,480
Speaker 1: Bentley and Dan Fouts both did color and play by play,

394
00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:51,280
Speaker 1: Yeah did too. Yeah, Dan Fouts did a little. Yeah

395
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:53,840
Speaker 1: he did some play by play. That's amazing. Yeah, so

396
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:56,640
Speaker 1: there and his father was was a sportscaster as well.

397
00:17:56,680 --> 00:18:00,120
Speaker 1: Today's history lesson is over right now. Rett lewis with us,

398
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 1: So Paths to the Draft. We see this show and

399
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:05,040
Speaker 1: people ask us like, how do you guys have topics

400
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 1: every day? I'm like, it's not a problem, Believe me.

401
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 1: There's always something I'm talking about, always something to talk

402
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:11,200
Speaker 1: about on Paths to the Draft? Do you focus more

403
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:13,919
Speaker 1: on the players or the team needs or does it

404
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:16,199
Speaker 1: change up? That's a great question, and I think for

405
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 1: the most part, and especially in the early part of it,

406
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:20,400
Speaker 1: it's all about getting to know the players. And that's

407
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:23,719
Speaker 1: what this combine is about too. It's about introducing the

408
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:26,960
Speaker 1: players that you're going to eventually hear their names called

409
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:29,720
Speaker 1: in Kansas City at the end of April now, and

410
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:32,920
Speaker 1: getting people to understand their stories and know their strengths

411
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:35,479
Speaker 1: and maybe that some of the weaknesses that teams are

412
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:37,040
Speaker 1: going to talk about, and just getting to know the

413
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:39,159
Speaker 1: full picture of some of these players, like you know,

414
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:42,199
Speaker 1: getting to know Will Anderson of Alabama, getting to know

415
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:44,600
Speaker 1: Bryce young, Um you know, who might look good in

416
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:47,200
Speaker 1: blue and red. I don't know, getting getting to know

417
00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:50,240
Speaker 1: some of these these top players, especially the guys you know,

418
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:52,200
Speaker 1: with you know, the quarterbacks, the big names, the guys

419
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:55,200
Speaker 1: they're gonna go in the first thirty one picks and

420
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:57,320
Speaker 1: then just kind of introducing them and then like we

421
00:18:57,359 --> 00:19:00,920
Speaker 1: start to transition to all right, he's a great player

422
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:04,200
Speaker 1: at the college level, but to become a great player

423
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:06,880
Speaker 1: at the NFL level, it is so much more about

424
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:09,520
Speaker 1: fit and finding the right fit, especially as you get

425
00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:12,359
Speaker 1: to quarterbacks. And now we're like, okay, I can see

426
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:16,240
Speaker 1: Bryce Young fitting in, you know, with what Damiko Ryans

427
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:18,320
Speaker 1: wants to do, or fitting in you know with what

428
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:21,520
Speaker 1: um with what the Colts want to do with the Raiders,

429
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:24,240
Speaker 1: and so you know, that's really kind of interesting and

430
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:26,399
Speaker 1: intriguing it but it is. It is like a fifty

431
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:29,560
Speaker 1: fifty truly so ratt when you are kind of diving

432
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:31,520
Speaker 1: into your coverage. And we were talking to DJ the

433
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:32,920
Speaker 1: other day and he's like, you know, I get into

434
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:35,000
Speaker 1: like four hundred players, and we know how Buddy Lance,

435
00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:38,240
Speaker 1: He's like, he does like five hundred. So when you

436
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:42,040
Speaker 1: dive into how how deep do you want to go like,

437
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:44,280
Speaker 1: how much do you want your width and breadth to

438
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:47,840
Speaker 1: really be of knowing who these guys are, because, like

439
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:50,680
Speaker 1: you said, play by play guys, color guys, they're gonna

440
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:52,920
Speaker 1: look at things completely differently, but you're kind of looking

441
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:54,280
Speaker 1: at about how you kind of look at that and

442
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:57,320
Speaker 1: separate and delineate between that. It's a good point. And

443
00:19:57,440 --> 00:19:59,639
Speaker 1: by the way zirlines an animal with the amount of

444
00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:01,920
Speaker 1: report that he does, DJ's the same. I mean DJ

445
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:04,359
Speaker 1: was cranking on tape. He probably told you from seven

446
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 1: am to one am for two weeks straight trying to

447
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 1: get these three hundred and nineteen players there here at

448
00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:11,400
Speaker 1: the combine, you know, and put them in his database.

449
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:15,520
Speaker 1: I am mostly focused this week on the defensive players.

450
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:17,320
Speaker 1: So like I've had, you know, one hundred and fifty

451
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:19,159
Speaker 1: or so that I've been trying to watch, Like I

452
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 1: am truly I'm trying to watch like twenty plays, yeah,

453
00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:25,400
Speaker 1: right of each guy, like just so I can sense

454
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:27,680
Speaker 1: get a flavor and get an understanding and then once

455
00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:30,399
Speaker 1: this is over, you know, and we and that's you know,

456
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:32,720
Speaker 1: It's a lot of times what evaluators end up doing

457
00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:35,800
Speaker 1: at the combine is like they'll see something pop right uh,

458
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 1: you see a forty time pop, You're like, whoa, whoa, whoa,

459
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:40,040
Speaker 1: and see that on tape. Look back and look at

460
00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:42,080
Speaker 1: that again, right, you see like I didn't see that

461
00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:44,480
Speaker 1: explosive ability. You know that he showed with a forty

462
00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:46,280
Speaker 1: inch vertical jump. Let me go back and see if

463
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:47,960
Speaker 1: I can find that and find out why and how.

464
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:50,560
Speaker 1: Um so, yeah, that's kind of like how I use that.

465
00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:54,160
Speaker 1: So I'll i'll I dip my toes in, whereas those

466
00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:55,879
Speaker 1: guys are going head first into the deep end of

467
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 1: the pool, right, And I just I just want to

468
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:00,240
Speaker 1: have enough to inform the viewer and then to set

469
00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:02,159
Speaker 1: up the analyst, and then to also kind of formulate

470
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:04,119
Speaker 1: a little bit of an opinion as well. Rehet Lewis

471
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:06,400
Speaker 1: with us from NFL Network before I get too many

472
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:10,040
Speaker 1: texts and tweets. Frank Gifford also played by Play and Color.

473
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:15,520
Speaker 1: All right, another legendary guy. But I digress the modern

474
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:18,919
Speaker 1: era back to this doing the drills and doing that

475
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:21,520
Speaker 1: coverage on NFL network. This is really interesting because it

476
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:23,600
Speaker 1: goes back a long way with NFL Network, and it

477
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:26,640
Speaker 1: started off in a way that it is not now right,

478
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:29,480
Speaker 1: You've evolved, So tell us about what you like to do,

479
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:32,720
Speaker 1: how you're handling the coverage, what's changed over the years. Well,

480
00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:34,840
Speaker 1: so this is this is really cool because like I

481
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:37,119
Speaker 1: used to watch the Combine like religiously when I was

482
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:40,120
Speaker 1: grown up, and when it first got broadcast on NFL network,

483
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:42,560
Speaker 1: I was like, this is amazing, Like we get a

484
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:44,560
Speaker 1: chance to see this because my dad would let me

485
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:46,520
Speaker 1: like sneak in and watch a couple you know, when

486
00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:48,800
Speaker 1: he was with Washington and I was just down the

487
00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:50,720
Speaker 1: road going to school here at Indiana. He's like, hey,

488
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:52,439
Speaker 1: come up and spend a day and watch. And I

489
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:54,200
Speaker 1: was like, oh, this is amazing. I wish this was

490
00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:56,320
Speaker 1: on TV. And then it turns out it is and

491
00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:58,680
Speaker 1: that's great. And so yeah, I mean it's evolved. I

492
00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:03,040
Speaker 1: mean like we've got like own flyovers of simulations of

493
00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:05,840
Speaker 1: how the drills are gonna go right, Like it's I mean,

494
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:09,600
Speaker 1: the production value has gone way up through the roof.

495
00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:11,800
Speaker 1: And this year what we're doing a little bit differently

496
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:14,040
Speaker 1: is you guys have probably seen NFL now has a

497
00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:17,399
Speaker 1: subscription service called NFL Plus, right, and so we're doing

498
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:21,080
Speaker 1: a player's only version of the on field drills. I

499
00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:23,320
Speaker 1: don't know how I got into this as part of

500
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:26,359
Speaker 1: the players only part because I was not invited to

501
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:29,760
Speaker 1: the combine as a wide receiver in Indiana. In fact,

502
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:32,000
Speaker 1: I decided not to run my forty at the pro

503
00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:35,840
Speaker 1: day because I had a sprained thumb. Okay, good reason,

504
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:38,920
Speaker 1: good reasoning. I like that, good reasoning. So so I

505
00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:41,800
Speaker 1: get to be down there with like Kalias Campbell, Dwight Freeney,

506
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:45,680
Speaker 1: Matthew Judan, Devin White, and so we get to do

507
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:48,840
Speaker 1: like essentially a player's only version of the on field

508
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 1: drills with all these prospects on Thursday and Friday. That's

509
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:54,639
Speaker 1: gonna go out on NFL Plus, whereas that used to

510
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:57,040
Speaker 1: be a part of the main NFL network broadcast and

511
00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:59,240
Speaker 1: so now an NFL network, you'll just you'll hear rich

512
00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:02,400
Speaker 1: in DJ through those drills on their own, which which

513
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:05,199
Speaker 1: is kind of cool. All Right. I know that Morgan,

514
00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:08,080
Speaker 1: I'd be curious about this, but it's a question for

515
00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:10,200
Speaker 1: offare Margan probably doesn't give you anything about the Texas,

516
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:13,600
Speaker 1: and it's probably smart. So you looking at Texans, the

517
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:18,080
Speaker 1: Texans with your kind of global NFL eyes, Yes, and

518
00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:19,920
Speaker 1: I know it's been a struggle for the last few years,

519
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:22,600
Speaker 1: but what's kind of the national sentiment and what's kind

520
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:24,440
Speaker 1: of your sentiment red as you look at the Texans

521
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:29,240
Speaker 1: now after hiring Demiko, the draft class last year, extra

522
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:31,760
Speaker 1: picks the next couple of years, sitting at number two,

523
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:34,720
Speaker 1: number twelve, how do you kind of look at this

524
00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:37,000
Speaker 1: organization and where it is right now, where it could

525
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:39,800
Speaker 1: possibly go. And I've said this now for more than

526
00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:42,320
Speaker 1: a year, like really since since Nick came in and

527
00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:45,679
Speaker 1: started to put his imprint on this organization. I was like,

528
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:48,760
Speaker 1: there's some things to really get excited about. And I

529
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:52,560
Speaker 1: know it was hard to to kind of to get

530
00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:55,399
Speaker 1: people to get excited about that fact when the wins

531
00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:58,000
Speaker 1: aren't showing up. Like, man, if you if you and

532
00:23:58,040 --> 00:23:59,439
Speaker 1: you can't do this in this game, but if you

533
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:01,960
Speaker 1: separates and losses from it, and you just look at

534
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:04,119
Speaker 1: the tape and you look at like, you know, the

535
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:06,439
Speaker 1: flashes you've seen from Nico Collins, You look at what

536
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:08,360
Speaker 1: Brevin Jordan did at the end of his rookie year,

537
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:10,400
Speaker 1: you know, two years ago, and you're like, damgn man,

538
00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:12,880
Speaker 1: that's and then you see Damian Pierce, you know, Bull

539
00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:16,040
Speaker 1: in a China Shop this year, and we saw flashes

540
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:18,960
Speaker 1: from Davis Mills certainly a quarterback two. And then you

541
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:21,520
Speaker 1: know you're starting to have those building blocks up front

542
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:23,840
Speaker 1: as you keep trying to fortify that part of it.

543
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 1: And you got one of the best in the game obviously,

544
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:28,959
Speaker 1: and LARRYMYE. Tunselm. The things that that I'm really excited

545
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:31,800
Speaker 1: about are the young pieces on offense. Um. I think

546
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:34,040
Speaker 1: if if we just seen a full season and a

547
00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:37,000
Speaker 1: full seventeen from Derek Stingley, we'd be talking about staying

548
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:39,680
Speaker 1: the same way we're talking about Sauce with the Jets. Truly,

549
00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:43,320
Speaker 1: I think he's that kind of player. And so now

550
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:45,359
Speaker 1: what I mean, what I'd love to see just from

551
00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:47,400
Speaker 1: the outside are more guys that can affect the quarterback

552
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:49,040
Speaker 1: on the defensive side of all, the guys that can

553
00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:51,480
Speaker 1: rush the passer, you know, and I think you're gonna

554
00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:53,720
Speaker 1: be here a great spot. And to get one at

555
00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 1: two and at twelve, and you know the fact that

556
00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:57,600
Speaker 1: you got twelve picks in this draft as it is,

557
00:24:57,600 --> 00:24:59,280
Speaker 1: I know a lot of them are on Day three

558
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:02,120
Speaker 1: with those w at four or five six rounders, four

559
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:04,040
Speaker 1: six rounders I think, but you got five in the

560
00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:08,040
Speaker 1: top seventy three picks like that is an incredible opportunity

561
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:11,679
Speaker 1: to build foundational pieces of this team. Wait, we're contractually

562
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:15,000
Speaker 1: obligated to say this right now as of right now.

563
00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:19,080
Speaker 1: That's because picks aren't out yet and Necessario is our GM.

564
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:22,320
Speaker 1: There's yeah, there's the real reason. You could just get

565
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:24,920
Speaker 1: to the real reason here, and yeah, yeah, Nick's gonna

566
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:26,479
Speaker 1: move around. We know that's the case. He's done at

567
00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:28,080
Speaker 1: the last couple of years, and he's done it masterfully,

568
00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:30,640
Speaker 1: so we know that's gonna happen. But having the assets

569
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:33,160
Speaker 1: of five in the top seventy three, it's incredible, right,

570
00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:35,560
Speaker 1: And then I will say that like having Morgan is

571
00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:38,240
Speaker 1: my sister, you know, like I do keep a closer

572
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:40,159
Speaker 1: eye on the Texans, you know, than than maybe I

573
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:42,560
Speaker 1: would have otherwise. But man, I'm I mean, there is

574
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:46,360
Speaker 1: a ton of of good young players to really get

575
00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:49,040
Speaker 1: excited about. Red Lewis NFL network with us, all right,

576
00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:52,600
Speaker 1: a couple more here, rank the off season events for us,

577
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:56,000
Speaker 1: because you do NFL Network coverage all the time. So

578
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:58,960
Speaker 1: so in your this is your personal opinion, I'll give

579
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:04,119
Speaker 1: you all Star game, Okay, good one. Combine free agency

580
00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:09,719
Speaker 1: draft and can I count training camp schedule? Release schedule release?

581
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:14,480
Speaker 1: That's a lot of events lose the order. All right,

582
00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:17,320
Speaker 1: good good call, good call. Um Okay, So for me,

583
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:21,879
Speaker 1: number one is the draft. Number one is the draft.

584
00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:24,479
Speaker 1: The excitement. I mean, like, look, guys, I mean you remember, um,

585
00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:27,440
Speaker 1: if you can separate your AFC South rivalry bias for

586
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:33,359
Speaker 1: a moment, the Draft in Nashville and the scene that's

587
00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:37,320
Speaker 1: we are calling people's names at a podium. Yeah, that's

588
00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:39,720
Speaker 1: what I always say. That's what I always say, Like,

589
00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:42,359
Speaker 1: but that is what I mean. That is but the

590
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:45,520
Speaker 1: how it's done and the who does it and the

591
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:50,960
Speaker 1: McAfee standing up there and just absolutely Titans fan, Oh

592
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:53,600
Speaker 1: my god, it's just it's incredible. It's theater and it

593
00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:56,160
Speaker 1: really is that. It's a great reality show and like

594
00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:59,320
Speaker 1: you're seeing, really you're seeing storylines as the draft goes

595
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:01,359
Speaker 1: up and down the board, first second round, and like

596
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:03,880
Speaker 1: there's so much there's so much drama and intrigue and

597
00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:05,760
Speaker 1: we you know, and all of that is the build

598
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:07,919
Speaker 1: up to it. Um. So the Draft is number one,

599
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:10,639
Speaker 1: I would say for me, All Star Game season is

600
00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:15,080
Speaker 1: number two. Wow. Yeah, And that is from NFLPA Collegiate

601
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:17,400
Speaker 1: Bowl at the Rose Bowl East West Shrine Game, which

602
00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:19,040
Speaker 1: I've done, played by play for the last couple of

603
00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:23,440
Speaker 1: years at in Vegas Allion at Allegiance Stadium Senior Bowl

604
00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:27,320
Speaker 1: right up there obviously HBCU Legacy Bowl. Uh, we get

605
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:29,600
Speaker 1: to have like those are our events, right, They're on

606
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:32,000
Speaker 1: NFL network and so we are such a big part

607
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:35,080
Speaker 1: of them. And that's really the first introduction that we

608
00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:38,160
Speaker 1: get to make two fans about these players that now

609
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:40,560
Speaker 1: I've seen in person following college football, and I get

610
00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:41,920
Speaker 1: to tell them why I love these guys, and I

611
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:43,960
Speaker 1: get to be a part of the live broadcast, right,

612
00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:47,200
Speaker 1: and it makes you It's just it really signals like, hey,

613
00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:50,119
Speaker 1: it's draft season, so that's two All Star games are

614
00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:53,639
Speaker 1: tough to do. Well, Oh, I should have brought my boards.

615
00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:56,200
Speaker 1: Mark loved to have seen like the X marks through

616
00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:59,520
Speaker 1: all the players that decide not to play it. Just

617
00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:03,160
Speaker 1: watched this number. Yes, they got twelve decas on their helmets.

618
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:05,640
Speaker 1: They've got so many decails on their helmets, you can't

619
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:08,440
Speaker 1: tell anything like wait a second. And then of course

620
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:10,080
Speaker 1: I know as a Senior Bowl and you see you

621
00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:13,480
Speaker 1: guys come in like wait a second, that guy, that

622
00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:18,840
Speaker 1: guy got here when wait, he got here this morning. Yeah,

623
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:20,960
Speaker 1: it's tough. It's kind of like high school football, whether

624
00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:23,920
Speaker 1: changing jerseys on the fly and that kind of thing.

625
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:27,600
Speaker 1: Let's talking to somebody. Broadcasting high school football is probably

626
00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:29,720
Speaker 1: harder than any other level of football. Oh my gosh.

627
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:32,199
Speaker 1: I mean you have no resources, no information, where's the

628
00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:35,200
Speaker 1: PR guy? What PR guy? And then there's they're gonna

629
00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:41,280
Speaker 1: be invariably there's a kid I forgot his jersey forty five. Yeah,

630
00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:43,840
Speaker 1: the game, the whole game. Yeah, I mean the whole deal.

631
00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:47,560
Speaker 1: It's ridiculous, but it's a challenge. So that's two combinus three,

632
00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:51,200
Speaker 1: combinus combinus three. It's phenomenal. Um. And I do think

633
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:53,840
Speaker 1: I have to separate out training camp because to me,

634
00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:55,960
Speaker 1: that's the start of the season. Yeah, it is a

635
00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:58,840
Speaker 1: different deal, and that is I have a passion for

636
00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:01,440
Speaker 1: training camp and it's usually my only chance to get

637
00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:04,080
Speaker 1: out and see teams. Yeah. Um, and for whatever reason,

638
00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:06,040
Speaker 1: I like, Houston is always at the top of my

639
00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:08,040
Speaker 1: wish list, but I haven't been in like five years.

640
00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:12,800
Speaker 1: That's gonna coming this year. Let's do it. Let's got

641
00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:14,960
Speaker 1: to be that national team this year. Okay. One of

642
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:18,360
Speaker 1: those was a schedule release, which is that's that's that's

643
00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:20,400
Speaker 1: down there. It's a big deal. It's a tech pole

644
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:22,320
Speaker 1: event for us. The NFL network is a big deal.

645
00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:26,000
Speaker 1: I know that I have no control over where I'm going,

646
00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:28,880
Speaker 1: and so the when these games are played, they have

647
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:32,240
Speaker 1: no bearings well my life. Johnny Rhet is a national guy,

648
00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:35,760
Speaker 1: so release it's like whatever because it's all about the team,

649
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:39,720
Speaker 1: right fans. For us, it's like when are we playing

650
00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:42,560
Speaker 1: at what time? Because we know the who was right went,

651
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:44,440
Speaker 1: So yeah, it's probably a little bit more for us

652
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:46,680
Speaker 1: at that point. But I like your order though, like

653
00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:49,360
Speaker 1: our game when I was in when I was in

654
00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:52,840
Speaker 1: local sports in Boston covering the Patriots, I love schedule

655
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:55,120
Speaker 1: release because I was just hoping and praying that we

656
00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:58,400
Speaker 1: got the Dolphins in South Beach in December. Yeah, but

657
00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:01,400
Speaker 1: they always lose that game. Yes, that's okay. Hey we

658
00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:03,360
Speaker 1: got Chicago in September last year. I felt like I

659
00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:07,400
Speaker 1: want I'm like, come on, nice dat Thanks a lot

660
00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:09,400
Speaker 1: for joining us, everybody. Thanks Mark. All right, there's our

00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:35,480
Speaker 1: Eisen from NFL Network and the Rich Eisen Show, which

669
00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:39,160
Speaker 1: you can see on every device in America, and she

670
00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:43,400
Speaker 1: starts out this interview asking him a little behind the

671
00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:45,760
Speaker 1: scenes stuff, asking him when he's gonna do his famous

672
00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:49,360
Speaker 1: run Run Rich Run for charity for Saint Jude's in

673
00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:52,640
Speaker 1: two months. Yeah, is the injury, No, no, no, no,

674
00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:56,960
Speaker 1: It's just that due to covid um. We one year

675
00:30:57,200 --> 00:31:01,040
Speaker 1: ran it in La Okay, and then we invited NFL

676
00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:06,440
Speaker 1: legends to run with me, and that put a light

677
00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:09,360
Speaker 1: bulb over my head, like, if I continue to do

678
00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:12,000
Speaker 1: it and I get more legends and more people donating,

679
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:17,400
Speaker 1: it brings in more money for the charity, and I

680
00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:20,160
Speaker 1: don't have to credential them here in Indianapolis, which is

681
00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:24,240
Speaker 1: a very difficult process, and I don't have to run

682
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:29,000
Speaker 1: it at the combine. After sitting on my behind in

683
00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:31,760
Speaker 1: the booth for six straight hours and having them stretched

684
00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:35,480
Speaker 1: like for like six straight. It was just optimum in

685
00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:37,959
Speaker 1: so many different ways for the fundraising and making it

686
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:41,520
Speaker 1: different and getting more people involved. So I'm gonna that's

687
00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:42,760
Speaker 1: the way I'm gonna do it. Now. Do you have

688
00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:45,719
Speaker 1: a goal just not to get hurt? And it raises

689
00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:49,000
Speaker 1: much money for Saint you Children's research, wonderful cause idea.

690
00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:51,080
Speaker 1: All right, Rich, let's talk about the Texans. Did you

691
00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:52,800
Speaker 1: go Ryans? What do you thought about the coaching hire.

692
00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:54,600
Speaker 1: There's a lot of excitement in Houston. What about Nashally?

693
00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:58,600
Speaker 1: I love the higher obviously, you know, we need to

694
00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:02,080
Speaker 1: see what he can do. But his his history with

695
00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:04,960
Speaker 1: the team, his history with the town. He met his

696
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:07,440
Speaker 1: wife there. I guess he told me that they when

697
00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:09,040
Speaker 1: he came to my show. They met at a Bible

698
00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:13,240
Speaker 1: study in Houston when he was a player there. And

699
00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:16,239
Speaker 1: then what he's done clearly as a coach and what

700
00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:21,720
Speaker 1: he's been able to do as a leader of other men,

701
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:25,280
Speaker 1: it just makes it a terrific fit, certainly for a

702
00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:29,280
Speaker 1: team it's you know, one and done two previous coaches

703
00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:31,400
Speaker 1: to give him the amount of time that he's been given,

704
00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:34,760
Speaker 1: the fact that he can stand in a press conference

705
00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:37,680
Speaker 1: room and there's Brian Cushing and there's Andre Johnson. So

706
00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:41,640
Speaker 1: it's the history and bringing it all together. It just

707
00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:45,200
Speaker 1: works on so many different levels. And I'm excited for

708
00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:47,520
Speaker 1: the Texas. We got a lot of draft capital to

709
00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:49,960
Speaker 1: get to build on this team. Number two overall pick,

710
00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:52,520
Speaker 1: number twelve overall pick in the first round. If you're

711
00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:55,880
Speaker 1: Nick Cassio, who are you taking with number two? Jeez,

712
00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:59,040
Speaker 1: I guess the quarterback that's not taken number one overall

713
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:04,760
Speaker 1: unless you fall head over heels in love with Will Anderson,

714
00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:09,160
Speaker 1: who I profer to say will be available second overall,

715
00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:14,000
Speaker 1: because somebody's gonna take a quarterback first overall. I doubt

716
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:16,000
Speaker 1: it's the Bears. I bet you they'll trade out. Maybe

717
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:18,680
Speaker 1: the Texans can flip to just trade up to one

718
00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:24,240
Speaker 1: and get that pickback that that they can then use

719
00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:27,200
Speaker 1: on a quarterback. So I would I would imagine right now,

720
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:29,360
Speaker 1: as we're standing here on the first day of March,

721
00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:32,800
Speaker 1: I would I would say C. J. Strout will be

722
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:36,320
Speaker 1: a new Houston Texan and then the proverbial best player

723
00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:41,360
Speaker 1: available the twelfth pick. It's possible a quarterback could be

724
00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:46,560
Speaker 1: still available there that they could roll the dice take

725
00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:50,760
Speaker 1: Will Anderson two and then roll the dice and figure

726
00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:55,200
Speaker 1: somebody else who they would like to have could still

727
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:58,240
Speaker 1: be available at twelve, or they can sit there and

728
00:33:58,280 --> 00:34:01,240
Speaker 1: trade out and get more picks. So there's a lot

729
00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:04,600
Speaker 1: of options as opposed to the last couple of years. Yeah. Absolutely.

730
00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:08,480
Speaker 1: What about the Texans current draft class from last year

731
00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:11,799
Speaker 1: that's heading into year two, Guys like Damian Pierce, Derek Stanley, Jill,

732
00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:14,400
Speaker 1: and Petrie Nicko. Sirio drafted all these guys last year,

733
00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:16,080
Speaker 1: they're heading into year two. Would you sort of think

734
00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:17,799
Speaker 1: of what they did last year and how much they

735
00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:19,719
Speaker 1: can really build on this team with those guys. Well,

736
00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:26,040
Speaker 1: I saw Damian Pierce run and perform as well as

737
00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:28,600
Speaker 1: he did in the preseason. I think one preseason game

738
00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:34,000
Speaker 1: too late for me to get and draft him as

739
00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:36,799
Speaker 1: I wanted to in my fantasy league. I saw that,

740
00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:40,080
Speaker 1: think I saw that guy coming. He's got one of

741
00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:43,680
Speaker 1: Kyle Brandt's scepters in the case angriest run of the year. Yes,

742
00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:48,399
Speaker 1: so he's got the ultimate scepter in the case. So

743
00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:53,520
Speaker 1: obviously you need a run game in this league. You

744
00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:57,320
Speaker 1: need the ability to defend the pass, and we saw

745
00:34:57,360 --> 00:34:59,520
Speaker 1: that out of a draft class last year. That you're

746
00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:03,200
Speaker 1: just kind assumes only going to get better. So I

747
00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:08,440
Speaker 1: think the Texans are appreciably better with us standing here

748
00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:10,600
Speaker 1: in this room this year than had we had this

749
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:13,160
Speaker 1: chat last year. What about for the Texans, they had

750
00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:14,920
Speaker 1: so many years where they were really dominant in the

751
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:17,200
Speaker 1: AFC South. The last few years have been rough. But

752
00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:18,920
Speaker 1: what do they need to do to get back to

753
00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:20,560
Speaker 1: that level. What's the next step they got to take

754
00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:23,759
Speaker 1: to be dominant once again? Get the quarterback? Get that right.

755
00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:28,719
Speaker 1: It's that simple. It's that simple. I mean, that's the

756
00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:33,200
Speaker 1: difference in this league of being incredibly successful and having

757
00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:37,919
Speaker 1: shot to win a Super Bowl or picking second overall

758
00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:44,440
Speaker 1: hiring coaches. So hopefully they'll get it right. It's that simple, right, Rich,

759
00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:47,000
Speaker 1: appreciate the time and good luck with the forty. You

760
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:49,600
Speaker 1: have an angry run in your own. I appreciate that.

761
00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:53,440
Speaker 1: That's Rich. I was in and dp Cito visiting at

762
00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:56,600
Speaker 1: the NFL scouting combine and now Johnny Harris joins us.

763
00:35:56,680 --> 00:36:00,760
Speaker 1: On the way to a wonderful weekend, Johnny of working

764
00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:03,200
Speaker 1: out with the quarterbacks, not that you're gonna be doing NAT,

765
00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:05,960
Speaker 1: but they'll be doing NAT with each other. And other people.

766
00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:09,560
Speaker 1: And I'm curious to see I think true or false.

767
00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:13,920
Speaker 1: If Anthony Richardson throws well here, it is gonna blow

768
00:36:14,040 --> 00:36:17,719
Speaker 1: up for him. It is gonna be insanely active. The

769
00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:21,200
Speaker 1: hype machine will be rolling more than ever. What do

770
00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:22,719
Speaker 1: you make of what you saw this morning with the

771
00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:25,040
Speaker 1: guys at the podium and what you think of this weekend? Yeah,

772
00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:29,280
Speaker 1: quarterbacks wise, you know, I feel like, you know, Bryce

773
00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:32,920
Speaker 1: handled about fifteen thousand questions about his size, ye and

774
00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:35,960
Speaker 1: hand on them all very very well. I thought. Will

775
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:40,320
Speaker 1: Levis is very composed up at the the mic, very confident.

776
00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:44,040
Speaker 1: CJ Strout same way. They've got a different they've got

777
00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:47,040
Speaker 1: a different way in aura kind of about them, but

778
00:36:47,239 --> 00:36:48,960
Speaker 1: you can tell both of them are pretty confident in

779
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:51,439
Speaker 1: what they can do. Levis Is, asked, are you gonna

780
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:53,360
Speaker 1: throw at the comedy, said, yeah, I got one of

781
00:36:53,360 --> 00:36:55,439
Speaker 1: the strongest arms in the draft. I'm gonna show it off.

782
00:36:55,680 --> 00:36:58,440
Speaker 1: It's I kind of like um. And then of course

783
00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:03,600
Speaker 1: you got Anthony Richardson, whom but his very white baritone

784
00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:06,160
Speaker 1: was awesome. I mean it was really funny. Kind of

785
00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:08,440
Speaker 1: listen to him and hear that voice just I mean,

786
00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:12,360
Speaker 1: he's all he's all the way down there, but seeing

787
00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:16,400
Speaker 1: him physically in person, it's notable because you and I

788
00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:18,480
Speaker 1: were standing off to the side of the podium where

789
00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:20,680
Speaker 1: we could really see them get up to the podium.

790
00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:23,720
Speaker 1: I put some pictures on Twitter. Yeah, of at least

791
00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:27,520
Speaker 1: Bryce Young and CJ. Stroud, there's gonna be more. And

792
00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:30,800
Speaker 1: just to see Bryce get up they're fine, and see J.

793
00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:33,160
Speaker 1: Stroud fine, And then you see Richardson get up there.

794
00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:35,239
Speaker 1: You're like a physical specimen. Yeah, I mean the thing

795
00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:36,760
Speaker 1: is a lot of people, you know, look at Levis

796
00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:38,719
Speaker 1: and Richardson like, oh, they're kind of the same side. No,

797
00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:41,440
Speaker 1: they're not the same size at all. Anthony's legit six

798
00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:46,759
Speaker 1: four and and thick and thick, so he's I mean

799
00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:50,440
Speaker 1: he is, we is well well put together. But you know,

800
00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:52,040
Speaker 1: I got a chance to kind of pop in on

801
00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:53,440
Speaker 1: a lot of the other quarterbacks listening to Head and

802
00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:56,240
Speaker 1: Hooker for a while, and man, you talk about impressive.

803
00:37:56,239 --> 00:37:59,000
Speaker 1: He was actually talking kind of scheme when I you know,

804
00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:02,640
Speaker 1: rolled up and you know, not you know, completely like

805
00:38:02,760 --> 00:38:04,680
Speaker 1: off to the side, your x's and those type stuff,

806
00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:07,239
Speaker 1: but just kind of you know, overall, you know, just

807
00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:10,120
Speaker 1: the way quarterbacks talk and how they how they talk

808
00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:12,600
Speaker 1: about protections and how easily they do that. It's always

809
00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:14,680
Speaker 1: kind of fun. Listen to my guy, Jake Hanner. He

810
00:38:14,680 --> 00:38:16,560
Speaker 1: was talking about how Fresno State changed some of the

811
00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:19,200
Speaker 1: protections and things they did this year. They had a

812
00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:21,600
Speaker 1: new coach that Jeff Tedford because Kaylin Debor had gone

813
00:38:21,640 --> 00:38:24,040
Speaker 1: to Washington, so he had to learn all that and

814
00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:25,960
Speaker 1: dealt with all that. So it was really cool. But

815
00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:27,800
Speaker 1: one of my favorite listeners of the entire day, it

816
00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:29,880
Speaker 1: was not a quarterback. It was actually Tank Dell the

817
00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:34,040
Speaker 1: University of Houston, which I'm still blown away by how

818
00:38:34,040 --> 00:38:35,759
Speaker 1: they figure out who goes to a podium and who

819
00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:37,520
Speaker 1: goes and sits at the table, and they put Tank

820
00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:39,760
Speaker 1: at a table and I'm like, this is ridiculous. Tanks

821
00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:41,840
Speaker 1: one of the best. He's one of the best players

822
00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:43,440
Speaker 1: in this drabt and he's going to show it off.

823
00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:45,040
Speaker 1: I mean, he's gonna be in the fourth three range.

824
00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:48,799
Speaker 1: He is not physically big, but just listen to him

825
00:38:48,840 --> 00:38:52,480
Speaker 1: talk about Marcus Jones from the Patriots was really impressive.

826
00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:55,840
Speaker 1: And when Marcus had done and he was he was

827
00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:58,239
Speaker 1: very to the point about what he could do, what

828
00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:00,719
Speaker 1: he needed to work on you know, kind of the

829
00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:02,720
Speaker 1: road that he took to get to University of Houston,

830
00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:05,279
Speaker 1: and you know beyond to the Senior both to the Combine, etc.

831
00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:07,160
Speaker 1: He was really fun to listen to. TechEd off from

832
00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:10,040
Speaker 1: the University of Houston, and Tune was up there as well. Yeah,

833
00:39:10,040 --> 00:39:13,480
Speaker 1: Tune was here yesterday, Javarius Owens, So University Houston well

834
00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:16,520
Speaker 1: represented here for sure. I took a lap around the

835
00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:19,600
Speaker 1: convention center last night after after dinner, just to walk

836
00:39:19,640 --> 00:39:22,000
Speaker 1: it off, and I ran into Deuce Vaughn and a

837
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:25,279
Speaker 1: few running backs workouts, because you see that from time

838
00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:28,280
Speaker 1: to time in various nooks and crannies of the convention

839
00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:32,160
Speaker 1: Center here in Indianapolis. And Vaughan is not a big fella.

840
00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:34,359
Speaker 1: We knew they try to kidnap him and bring him

841
00:39:34,360 --> 00:39:36,239
Speaker 1: back to Houston. I was trying to size him up.

842
00:39:36,239 --> 00:39:37,920
Speaker 1: I was like, all right, he comes up to here

843
00:39:38,080 --> 00:39:40,960
Speaker 1: on me, big guy, don't don't even that's the thing.

844
00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:43,880
Speaker 1: And and I've kind kind of learned. It's like yesterday,

845
00:39:44,440 --> 00:39:46,920
Speaker 1: Um Nolan Smith put on our show physically over at

846
00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:50,680
Speaker 1: the over at the h Lucasoil Stadium the first night

847
00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:55,040
Speaker 1: of on field testing, and kind of learned we expected

848
00:39:55,080 --> 00:39:57,520
Speaker 1: that though we expected that. You know, It's like if

849
00:39:57,600 --> 00:39:59,200
Speaker 1: duce Vall walked up there it was five to ten,

850
00:39:59,480 --> 00:40:02,000
Speaker 1: we'd be like, whoa, that's not what we expected. They

851
00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:07,280
Speaker 1: expect duced to be five six eighty five pounds, but thick, smart,

852
00:40:07,840 --> 00:40:11,120
Speaker 1: tough took an eighty to the house against Alabama and

853
00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:13,400
Speaker 1: the Sugar Bowl. We'll step up and take on the

854
00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:15,480
Speaker 1: blitzing linebackers. I mean, he does a little bit of everything.

855
00:40:15,560 --> 00:40:18,200
Speaker 1: So even though he probably was ready at the you know,

856
00:40:18,520 --> 00:40:20,960
Speaker 1: your your zipper, you know right there and your quarters.

857
00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:24,880
Speaker 1: That dude could play. Yeah. You always talk about seeing

858
00:40:24,880 --> 00:40:26,840
Speaker 1: guys on the hoof or whatever, and this is a

859
00:40:26,920 --> 00:40:29,040
Speaker 1: really good example of that. When you see guys in

860
00:40:29,080 --> 00:40:32,759
Speaker 1: these track suits basically and what they look like, how

861
00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:35,440
Speaker 1: they present themselves, how they interact with the other teammates,

862
00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:39,440
Speaker 1: it's got to be a really memorable experience for them.

863
00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:42,600
Speaker 1: Not always great memories necessarily, but they're gonna remember this

864
00:40:42,680 --> 00:40:47,400
Speaker 1: forever because it's a convention unto itself for them, just

865
00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:50,480
Speaker 1: meeting all their college opponents. Yeah. Absolutely, And you hear

866
00:40:50,520 --> 00:40:52,839
Speaker 1: them when they're asked about, Hey, who is the best

867
00:40:52,840 --> 00:40:54,880
Speaker 1: guy you faced? And you know a lot of times

868
00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:57,799
Speaker 1: they answered guys that they played with, you know at

869
00:40:57,840 --> 00:41:00,440
Speaker 1: Ohio State, Jackson Smith and Jig who was talking about Shroud.

870
00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:03,160
Speaker 1: They were obviously talking about each other, uh this morning,

871
00:41:03,640 --> 00:41:06,279
Speaker 1: So you know, you hear, you hear those things and

872
00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:08,200
Speaker 1: then the one the ones that I'd love to hear.

873
00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:12,719
Speaker 1: Mark are always you know, who were players you idolized

874
00:41:12,760 --> 00:41:14,759
Speaker 1: grown up or who are players that you model your

875
00:41:14,760 --> 00:41:16,680
Speaker 1: game after? And I always listen to those now because

876
00:41:16,680 --> 00:41:18,200
Speaker 1: I want to know whether I got a cop right?

877
00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:21,879
Speaker 1: Did I get to copyright? Um? You know on a guy. Yeah,

878
00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:24,560
Speaker 1: that's not always the be all out, It isn't, but

879
00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:26,480
Speaker 1: I want to It's just always curious to me who

880
00:41:26,520 --> 00:41:29,279
Speaker 1: they pick. And you know, Jade Hazelwood, who had been

881
00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:32,479
Speaker 1: at Arkansas then went to Oklahoma. Maybe the other way around,

882
00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:34,240
Speaker 1: I think with the Oklahoma first then with to Arkansas,

883
00:41:34,560 --> 00:41:36,239
Speaker 1: he was asked, you know who was the guy he liked,

884
00:41:37,120 --> 00:41:40,240
Speaker 1: just without missing the beat, DeAndre Hopkins. It's like, yeah,

885
00:41:40,280 --> 00:41:41,920
Speaker 1: that's a good one. That's a good that's a good

886
00:41:41,920 --> 00:41:43,600
Speaker 1: one to follow. So there's been a lot of those.

887
00:41:43,719 --> 00:41:46,640
Speaker 1: Did Jordan Addison he was asked them about an interview.

888
00:41:46,640 --> 00:41:48,920
Speaker 1: This is my favorite quote I think all day. He

889
00:41:48,960 --> 00:41:50,799
Speaker 1: was asked whether he had met with a particular team,

890
00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:54,000
Speaker 1: not to Texas, but did you meet with a particular team? Yeah,

891
00:41:54,040 --> 00:41:56,560
Speaker 1: I met with that team. I crushed it too. I

892
00:41:56,600 --> 00:42:00,279
Speaker 1: hope they thought that as well. That's confidence. All right,

893
00:42:00,400 --> 00:42:02,760
Speaker 1: That's gonna do it for our shows here from Indianapolis.
