Almos 21 00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:12,600 Speaker 1: about three or four of them. But I need a 22 00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:15,880 Speaker 1: little break. Johnny doesn't. Yeah, this is Johnny's time to Sharon, 23 00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:17,840 Speaker 1: he refuses to come out the area, will not come 24 00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:19,440 Speaker 1: out of the game. All right, let's get to the 25 00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:21,679 Speaker 1: general here. It's Thursday night. It's Death and Taxes. That 26 00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:25,720 Speaker 1: means John McLean is on the show this evening. General, 27 00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:28,040 Speaker 1: Good evening. And I know you've taken a lot of 28 00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:31,399 Speaker 1: questions about all these rumors and everything surrounding what the 29 00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:33,600 Speaker 1: Texans are gonna do with number two and what's happening 30 00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:35,959 Speaker 1: in the front office. How has it been, my friend? 31 00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,240 Speaker 1: How are you doing? Great? Guys? First of all, Nick 32 00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:41,480 Speaker 1: as Sario is not going anywhere. You can take it 33 00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:45,000 Speaker 1: to the bank. No matter what kind of reports, speculation, 34 00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:49,800 Speaker 1: rumors you're here. He will definitely be back. And as 35 00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:54,040 Speaker 1: far as all the speculation about Will Anderson, I decided 36 00:01:54,200 --> 00:02:00,800 Speaker 1: my remark Draft five today that Dallary's Sports dot Com 37 00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:03,600 Speaker 1: I have him taken Will Anderson at too and end 38 00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:06,280 Speaker 1: in Hooker at twelve. Now do I think that's going 39 00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:09,360 Speaker 1: to happen? Of course not. As I've said before, I 40 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:13,880 Speaker 1: do not see how the Texans when everybody is so 41 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:18,600 Speaker 1: excited would bypass a quarterback and go into the season 42 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:23,519 Speaker 1: with Case Keenum and Davis Mills, And some people are saying, well, 43 00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:28,080 Speaker 1: tank for Caleb Williams or May from North Carolina. You 44 00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:31,200 Speaker 1: don't have any guarantee you're gonna get them. That's one 45 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:35,799 Speaker 1: of the dumbest things I've ever heard. And I still 46 00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:38,760 Speaker 1: believe when all is said and done, they'll be taking 47 00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:42,640 Speaker 1: a quarterback with the second pick. But John, I like 48 00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:46,119 Speaker 1: your mock draft today. I like Will Anderson at two 49 00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:48,600 Speaker 1: in Hendon Hooker at twelve. If you can't get Bryce 50 00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:51,440 Speaker 1: Young and he goes to the Panthers, I'm okay with 51 00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:54,720 Speaker 1: Hendon Hooker. Tell me what do you like about Hendon Hooker, 52 00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:56,800 Speaker 1: Because I think if we walk away from Miller Outdoor 53 00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:59,359 Speaker 1: Theater on Thursday night and they picked up Will Anderson 54 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,200 Speaker 1: handed Hooker and you have the second pick on Friday night, 55 00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,960 Speaker 1: I'm feeling pretty good about the situation. Tell me about 56 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:10,160 Speaker 1: Hooker your thoughts. He's twenty five years old, he's not 57 00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:13,639 Speaker 1: going to play because he's coming off major knee surgery. 58 00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:15,560 Speaker 1: He might play at the end of the year, so 59 00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:17,880 Speaker 1: that means he'd have a chance to play when he 60 00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:21,040 Speaker 1: was twenty six. So if you write off that year 61 00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:25,000 Speaker 1: because he's learning, he'd be twenty seven years old before 62 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,240 Speaker 1: he had a chance to be legit. If he wasn't, 63 00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:31,720 Speaker 1: you've set the franchise back another five years. And people 64 00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:37,080 Speaker 1: are so knitpicking now over c J. Strout. It's just amazing, 65 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:39,560 Speaker 1: and I think a lot of that's coming from people 66 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:44,280 Speaker 1: that want him, and it's just, oh, he's not he's 67 00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:47,400 Speaker 1: not coachable. Things that you have, I haven't seen that 68 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:52,960 Speaker 1: anywhere anytime any plays from anybody. And then Michael Lombardi 69 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:55,520 Speaker 1: said he earned it on a podcast this week and 70 00:03:55,600 --> 00:04:00,040 Speaker 1: it got picked up, and now there's reports today the 71 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:04,320 Speaker 1: Colts like Will Levice over Anthony Richardson, and I would 72 00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:07,360 Speaker 1: think most teams have Levice third and Richardson fourth, because 73 00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:11,000 Speaker 1: Richardson is to me the ultimate boom er Bus prospect. 74 00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:17,159 Speaker 1: But Hooker, if you're willing to wait that long and 75 00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:20,320 Speaker 1: have another couple of bad years, which I don't think 76 00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:24,479 Speaker 1: the Texans are, and Bryce Young he has that one 77 00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:28,080 Speaker 1: thing working against him. And Demico's Ryan said size is 78 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:32,560 Speaker 1: not an issue, but Demko knows, the McNair's no, everybody 79 00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:37,159 Speaker 1: NFL knows. If you have the smallest starting quarterback since 80 00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:40,000 Speaker 1: Eddie LeBaron, and you have to google him to look 81 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,800 Speaker 1: him up. You're gonna worry about his size. It doesn't 82 00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:46,000 Speaker 1: have anything to do with throwing the ball or finding receivers. 83 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:49,840 Speaker 1: That has to do with the seventeen game season. Plus 84 00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:53,240 Speaker 1: you hope at some point the Detections are playing more 85 00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:56,800 Speaker 1: than seventeen and when you're five, ten and eighth and frail, 86 00:04:57,600 --> 00:04:59,200 Speaker 1: people are going to worry about it. It's going to 87 00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:01,600 Speaker 1: be an issue. He may never be hurt, he may 88 00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:05,160 Speaker 1: get hurt like two a tongue about looa and so 89 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:08,960 Speaker 1: people worry about it. But some teams, I would think, 90 00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:13,640 Speaker 1: would that would be an impediment to them taking him. 91 00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:16,800 Speaker 1: I don't think that would affect anything about Texans. I 92 00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:20,440 Speaker 1: think if you got two quarterbacks up there and one 93 00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:22,919 Speaker 1: of them is Brideshow and one of them is c. J. Strout, 94 00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:27,400 Speaker 1: you'd be proud to get one of those quarterbacks. General, 95 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:29,960 Speaker 1: anything can happen in the draft. I think we're very 96 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,400 Speaker 1: clear about that. Anything can happen. Ian Rappaport brought this 97 00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:36,159 Speaker 1: up either last night or this morning of teams that 98 00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 1: were calling the Arizona Cardinals to trade to three and 99 00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:42,080 Speaker 1: at the very end, and he was kind of going 100 00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:44,640 Speaker 1: through them chronologically based on the draft order. At the 101 00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:46,479 Speaker 1: very end, he just threw it. And if the Texans 102 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:48,560 Speaker 1: want to go get two of the top prospects, they 103 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:50,440 Speaker 1: can move up there would be expensive, but they could 104 00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:52,880 Speaker 1: do it. What do you think the likelihood of something 105 00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:56,880 Speaker 1: like that moving from twelve to three to get Will 106 00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,160 Speaker 1: Anderson junior, CJ. Strout or something like that in a 107 00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:01,480 Speaker 1: two three common an issue. They probably have to give 108 00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:03,920 Speaker 1: up the next year one of the ones from next year. 109 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:06,200 Speaker 1: But what do you think a likelihood something like that? 110 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:08,920 Speaker 1: Or you think Ian was just spitting and there's nothing 111 00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:13,000 Speaker 1: to that, zero, nothing to it at all. Nikessario may 112 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,440 Speaker 1: lay in bed at night thinking about it, but think 113 00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:18,000 Speaker 1: that what that caused. It costs the thirty third pick 114 00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:21,640 Speaker 1: and more, it costs number one pick next year. Does 115 00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:25,800 Speaker 1: this team, which is still struggling trying to rebuild and 116 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:30,320 Speaker 1: get respectable, want to give up premium draft choices? And 117 00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:33,680 Speaker 1: you shouldn't get greedy if you've got a chance, If 118 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:35,800 Speaker 1: you have a chance to get a quarterback, and you 119 00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:39,599 Speaker 1: guys know this, you get that quarterback, you can fill 120 00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:42,560 Speaker 1: in other physicians. But if you do it you better 121 00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:45,240 Speaker 1: be right. You better make sure they got the right 122 00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:50,160 Speaker 1: the right coaches, the right system, patient owners, everything it 123 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:54,119 Speaker 1: takes to give a quarterback time. And if you're taking 124 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:56,720 Speaker 1: first or second, you're going to be starting early in 125 00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 1: the season if not from the get go. And I 126 00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:02,480 Speaker 1: think Area did a good job in free agency and 127 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:06,279 Speaker 1: a trade for Shack Mason at right guard and improving 128 00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:09,000 Speaker 1: the offensive line. You know I'm gonna I'm gonna do 129 00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:11,760 Speaker 1: a mock draft on all Texans pigs, and I think 130 00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:14,680 Speaker 1: I'm gonna have him trade into the second round like 131 00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:18,000 Speaker 1: last year and come out of the first two rounds 132 00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:22,600 Speaker 1: with a quarterback, an edge rusher, a wide receiver, and 133 00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:26,600 Speaker 1: a center. Those are their four most important needs. Now 134 00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:30,720 Speaker 1: we know they never draft for need. Never ever does 135 00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:33,120 Speaker 1: a team draft for need. If you don't believe it, 136 00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:35,920 Speaker 1: just asked the general manager and they'll tell you we 137 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:39,040 Speaker 1: don't draft for need. Of course, they draft for need 138 00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:42,600 Speaker 1: in most cases. And so to me, those are the 139 00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:45,920 Speaker 1: Texans four biggest needs. And if he got him in 140 00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:48,560 Speaker 1: the first three rounds, I don't care if he waited 141 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:50,960 Speaker 1: to get a center in the third round, but they 142 00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:55,720 Speaker 1: need a center. Listening to Demiko Ryan's talk, about both lines. 143 00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:58,800 Speaker 1: You know you can get at twelve, you get a 144 00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:02,920 Speaker 1: really good edge rusher there, not Will Anderson Jr. Not 145 00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:07,480 Speaker 1: Tyree Wilson, but probably everybody else is going to be available. 146 00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:11,000 Speaker 1: And I don't think for a second. I'm guessing you 147 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:14,360 Speaker 1: guys agree with me that Nick Caserio is going to 148 00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:17,120 Speaker 1: go through the first round without making a trait, John 149 00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:20,440 Speaker 1: doing what you do when you have I hesitate to 150 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:23,200 Speaker 1: say members of the media, but Mike Lombardi's not a 151 00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:25,360 Speaker 1: member of the media, but he kind of is because 152 00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:27,400 Speaker 1: he does a podcast. This is the kind of thing, 153 00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:31,080 Speaker 1: Howard coas Cell you still want about the ex coaches 154 00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:35,840 Speaker 1: and x X athletes, the jacocracy of it all, that's 155 00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:38,440 Speaker 1: the word he us right. Anyway, where does he get 156 00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:41,200 Speaker 1: this from? Or is he kind of spit bawling? I mean, 157 00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:43,920 Speaker 1: even Schefter said something that sounded more like an opinion, 158 00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:48,160 Speaker 1: and Mike Silver waited in on possible replacements. My goodness, 159 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:52,520 Speaker 1: where are they getting this stuff? Speculate? Please? Obviously somebody 160 00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:55,760 Speaker 1: is telling him these things. And I've tweeted yesterday and 161 00:08:55,840 --> 00:09:00,280 Speaker 1: I did it again today. Nick Casserio is not going anywhere. 162 00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:03,480 Speaker 1: But at this time of year, you guys know how 163 00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:06,520 Speaker 1: much BS is out there. I was thinking about two 164 00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:11,040 Speaker 1: years ago when I thought for sure everybody was right. 165 00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:16,440 Speaker 1: Kyle Shannon traded up to get Matt Jones mac Jones. 166 00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:22,000 Speaker 1: Mac Jones was the guy, and right at the end, 167 00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:26,240 Speaker 1: I think it was his close friend Kyle Shannon, not 168 00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:30,840 Speaker 1: mac Jones. Chris Simms who said Trey Lance. I didn't 169 00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:33,360 Speaker 1: believe it. I'm thinking he's not giving all those draft 170 00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:35,720 Speaker 1: picks to trade up to three to get a guy 171 00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:39,320 Speaker 1: played one game last year's last year North Dakota State. 172 00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:43,840 Speaker 1: But he did and it was at gotten the injuries, 173 00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:47,280 Speaker 1: and now there's a lot of talk they could draft 174 00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:50,280 Speaker 1: another quarterback. I can't see that. I don't think Kyle 175 00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:53,120 Speaker 1: Shannon's given up on Trey Lance after he missed the 176 00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:55,720 Speaker 1: season because of an injury. You know, we saw him 177 00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:58,360 Speaker 1: beat the Texans in his first start and he was 178 00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:00,839 Speaker 1: not impressive. Tex As, We're in the game in the 179 00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:04,559 Speaker 1: fourth quarter and they lost it. But you know, and 180 00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:07,719 Speaker 1: they did sign Sam Darnell. He got three quarterbacks right now. 181 00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:12,839 Speaker 1: But the Trey Lance thing caught me completely off guard. 182 00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:16,880 Speaker 1: Never heard anybody mocked him to the forty nine ers. 183 00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:19,600 Speaker 1: It's like Blake Bortles when he was taking what fourth 184 00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:23,959 Speaker 1: Nobody ever mentioned Bortles and Jaguars in the same sentence. 185 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,720 Speaker 1: And that's one reason the draft is so much fun. 186 00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:30,239 Speaker 1: And if will and if the Texans bypass a quarterback, 187 00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:33,880 Speaker 1: you will have to come and help me up. I 188 00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:39,080 Speaker 1: know y'all be down at Millard outdoor theater with the fans, 189 00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:42,199 Speaker 1: but somebody's gonna have to come to Energy Stadium and 190 00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:44,520 Speaker 1: help me up off the floor where I would have 191 00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:47,560 Speaker 1: fainted and hit my head. General, you do know somebody 192 00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:50,000 Speaker 1: that had fort unders taken Trey Lance and you're talking 193 00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:53,079 Speaker 1: to one of them right now? Yes, okay, Well you 194 00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:57,160 Speaker 1: gotta have the Texans taking with the second pick. And 195 00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:02,760 Speaker 1: I sat through your entire entire live mock draft last week, 196 00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:06,440 Speaker 1: and there was only one pick that that question, Jamry Gibbs, 197 00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:09,959 Speaker 1: when they already got two others. But do you like 198 00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:12,319 Speaker 1: are you like? May you do mock draft? And the 199 00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:15,720 Speaker 1: last one is the official one? You know it's funny, General, 200 00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:17,040 Speaker 1: And this is what I was going to ask you 201 00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:19,000 Speaker 1: when it comes to mock drafts. I mean, you want 202 00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:20,360 Speaker 1: it to be a little bit entertating because you want 203 00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:24,200 Speaker 1: people to think right. You want people just kind of consider, Okay, man, 204 00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:26,400 Speaker 1: could this could be the option. That's why the last 205 00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:28,199 Speaker 1: couple of nights I've been thrown at mark the different 206 00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:32,280 Speaker 1: scenarios for two and twelve, so you're thinking about, Okay, yeah, 207 00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:34,679 Speaker 1: the last one is probably the one. But it's funny 208 00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:36,959 Speaker 1: because on Twitter the last few nights, I've just read 209 00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:38,440 Speaker 1: from people that are like, I'm not doing the mock 210 00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:40,079 Speaker 1: drafts because I have no idea what's going on. I 211 00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:43,520 Speaker 1: have no idea what to think with picks one and two, none. 212 00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:45,880 Speaker 1: And if you don't have picks one and two even 213 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:47,959 Speaker 1: close in your mock draft, you can't the rest of 214 00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:50,520 Speaker 1: it's just you know, it's a bleep show at that point. 215 00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:53,319 Speaker 1: So I'll ask you straight out general, what do you 216 00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:57,560 Speaker 1: think is the most likely thing that happens at number two? 217 00:11:57,960 --> 00:11:59,480 Speaker 1: And what do you think is the most likely thing 218 00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:02,080 Speaker 1: to happen at the player? Will they draft the player? 219 00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:03,920 Speaker 1: Will they trade up or trade down at number twelve? On? 220 00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:05,760 Speaker 1: Are the two most likely things to happen at two 221 00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:08,400 Speaker 1: and twelve? Trade down a little bit at twelve, still 222 00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:11,400 Speaker 1: get an edge rusher unless he decides to go with 223 00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:14,600 Speaker 1: a receiver, and then with a thirty third pig get 224 00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:18,360 Speaker 1: somebody like McDonald from Iowa State, or he's a month 225 00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:24,120 Speaker 1: from Kansas State. Still good edge rushers. But I think, 226 00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:27,480 Speaker 1: and I keep coming back to this, despite all the 227 00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:30,920 Speaker 1: reports that the Panthers are going to take young, that 228 00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:34,760 Speaker 1: they traded all those draft choices to draft a quarterback 229 00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:40,280 Speaker 1: who has never ever been anything close size wise to 230 00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:43,959 Speaker 1: what Frank Reich likes. He's never had a regular starter 231 00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:48,360 Speaker 1: less than six four as a quarterback, coach, an offensive coordinator, 232 00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:52,280 Speaker 1: or a head coach. Now unless the owner David Tepper, 233 00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:54,920 Speaker 1: who he and his wife went along with all that 234 00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:59,400 Speaker 1: they've met with him, and then they're gonna have somebody 235 00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:03,040 Speaker 1: they like. Will they make Frank Wright take somebody done 236 00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:06,040 Speaker 1: one Scott Fair or the GM supposed to have finals 237 00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:09,959 Speaker 1: say will he go against his head coach? And of 238 00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:13,480 Speaker 1: course we'll never know. Whoever the Texans draft, they're gonna 239 00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:17,160 Speaker 1: say they drafted him because they're gonna say, we do 240 00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:20,360 Speaker 1: what's best for the Texans. We don't draft for need. 241 00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:25,480 Speaker 1: And I do not think they're coming out of the 242 00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:28,880 Speaker 1: first round without a quarterback. Do you guys see them 243 00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:33,560 Speaker 1: bypassing a quarterback at number two? I don't. I could 244 00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:36,160 Speaker 1: see it happening. But I don't think they get out 245 00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:39,199 Speaker 1: of the top half of the first round without taking 246 00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:41,960 Speaker 1: a quarterback. That's why I sort of take exception when 247 00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,080 Speaker 1: people say, well, what do you mean they're not going 248 00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:46,760 Speaker 1: to draft a quarterback. Well, there's a difference between not 249 00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:49,880 Speaker 1: drafting a quarterback at two and not drafting a quarterback 250 00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:53,040 Speaker 1: at all. I think that at some point they draft 251 00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:56,160 Speaker 1: a quarterback early, but maybe it's not one of the 252 00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:59,760 Speaker 1: top two projected picks, which would not be the most 253 00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:02,240 Speaker 1: articulous thing in the world. Look at twenty eighteen. I 254 00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:04,439 Speaker 1: can go on and on in drafts where ay, the 255 00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:06,839 Speaker 1: top two guys weren't that great or whatever, and somebody 256 00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:08,920 Speaker 1: else turns out to be much better. I mean, don't 257 00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:12,319 Speaker 1: you think that's plausible. You probably, I know you're basically 258 00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:15,679 Speaker 1: saying general that it's highly unlikely or it's not going 259 00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:18,400 Speaker 1: to happen at all, But you yourself have a mocked 260 00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:20,440 Speaker 1: draft where they're taking Will Edison in a hending him. 261 00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:24,600 Speaker 1: I did, so. I can't say it's impossible, but I'll 262 00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:27,600 Speaker 1: say this, I do not see them taking Will Levis, 263 00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,640 Speaker 1: and I do not see him taking Anthony Richardson, a 264 00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:33,520 Speaker 1: guy who might need two or three years. You know, 265 00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:38,240 Speaker 1: at that point, you know how much losing can you endure? Now, 266 00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:41,560 Speaker 1: I remember when I went through six years in a 267 00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:44,280 Speaker 1: row without the Oilers winning more than five games, and 268 00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:47,520 Speaker 1: they were having like fifteen thousand fans come to the games. 269 00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:52,240 Speaker 1: You know, they need an injection of energy and enthusiasm, 270 00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:55,560 Speaker 1: and they got it with Damiko Ryan's and now they 271 00:14:55,680 --> 00:15:00,600 Speaker 1: got a chance to get it an even more with quarterback. 272 00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:04,840 Speaker 1: And I don't think Richardson with one season and every 273 00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:09,840 Speaker 1: time we see highlights it's running and Levis has what 274 00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:15,000 Speaker 1: two seasons? And boy, I just I can't find other 275 00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:18,400 Speaker 1: than the thirty third team, which is a website that 276 00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:22,280 Speaker 1: I respect. It's all former NFL people until you look 277 00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:25,480 Speaker 1: at them, and they have Broderick Jones number one, Quintin 278 00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:29,440 Speaker 1: Johnston number two, and Will Levis as their top quarterback. 279 00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:33,240 Speaker 1: But these are people who are general managers and coaches 280 00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:36,720 Speaker 1: and personnel directors. And I guess there's a reason they're 281 00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:42,320 Speaker 1: working for the thirty thirteam. That is true. Now, how 282 00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:45,960 Speaker 1: do I say this one? Are we pretty sure amongst 283 00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:48,160 Speaker 1: the three of us? I said pretty sure. I don't 284 00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:50,400 Speaker 1: know what we can put a number on it, but 285 00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:53,880 Speaker 1: the Panthers are taking Bryce Young? Is it is it 286 00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:57,640 Speaker 1: Stroud versus Young? If Young is there at two? Is 287 00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:00,920 Speaker 1: it automatic that the Texas they're taking Bryce Young. I 288 00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:02,920 Speaker 1: don't know that they get that feeling with CJ. Stroud, 289 00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:06,200 Speaker 1: But if this Panthers do go Anthony Richardson or CJ. 290 00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:08,760 Speaker 1: Strude at one, is this a slam dunk that they'll 291 00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:11,040 Speaker 1: turn that card in for Bryce Young within thirty seconds? 292 00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:14,240 Speaker 1: Or is there possibility they could pass on Bryce? Okay? Now, 293 00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:18,440 Speaker 1: wouldn't that be something if they If the Panthers took 294 00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:22,160 Speaker 1: Will Levis or Anthony richards sending the Nike A, Sarrio 295 00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:27,800 Speaker 1: is sitting there, well, wow, we didn't expect this. Now, 296 00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:31,560 Speaker 1: I don't know, We don't know. I still think Stroud's 297 00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:35,200 Speaker 1: going first and Bryce Young is going second. I'm into minority, 298 00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:39,960 Speaker 1: and I think if they had a choice for both. 299 00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:42,960 Speaker 1: First of all, I don't have any idea who Nick 300 00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:46,560 Speaker 1: Sarrio and Damiko Ryans would want. When I see Bobby 301 00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:51,520 Speaker 1: Slois forty nine ers offense, which was Kubiak's offense, which 302 00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:55,080 Speaker 1: was Mike Shane Anne's offense, the quarterback's got to be 303 00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:58,440 Speaker 1: able to roll out CJ. Stroud can do that. Bryce 304 00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:02,280 Speaker 1: Young can do that. Stroud's the best pure passer in 305 00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:06,040 Speaker 1: the draft. People hold it against him that he had 306 00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:09,640 Speaker 1: great receivers. They hold it against him that he didn't 307 00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:12,640 Speaker 1: run more even though he wanted to get the ball 308 00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:16,439 Speaker 1: to those great receivers. So I think that they had 309 00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:18,639 Speaker 1: a choice, I think they'd take Young. But that's just 310 00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:21,880 Speaker 1: my opinion because but I tell you what, every time 311 00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:24,639 Speaker 1: Bryce Young goes on the field, no matter where he is, 312 00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:27,320 Speaker 1: people are gonna worry about it. Okay, general, I gotta 313 00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:30,200 Speaker 1: This is I guess from yesterday at some point. I 314 00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:35,080 Speaker 1: just saw it. But CBS Sports picked the three potential 315 00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:40,240 Speaker 1: landing spots for Devin White Tampa Bay Buccaneers linebacker, the Eagles, 316 00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:44,440 Speaker 1: the Bills, and the Texans. Do you think that's even 317 00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:50,640 Speaker 1: reasonable to be looking at a guy like Devin White. Well, 318 00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:52,960 Speaker 1: first of all, they're not trading him. They've already said 319 00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:55,240 Speaker 1: that he's got a year left on his contract. He 320 00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:58,960 Speaker 1: wants Roquan Smith money. The Texans are not going to 321 00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:02,720 Speaker 1: pay that kind of money for a linebacker, and if 322 00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:04,399 Speaker 1: they paid that kind of money, it would be for 323 00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:07,680 Speaker 1: a defensive lineman. So I don't think it's a possibility. 324 00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:10,960 Speaker 1: That kind of sounds like an agent out there looking 325 00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:13,960 Speaker 1: at the Texans having twelve picks and knowing how much 326 00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:18,800 Speaker 1: Nickssario likes to trade. I would if I was an agent, 327 00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:21,880 Speaker 1: I'd like it all the time. The Texans are interested, 328 00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:24,840 Speaker 1: especially a defensive player, with Demiko coming in as they 329 00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:27,320 Speaker 1: head coach and wanting to do everything he can do. 330 00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:30,080 Speaker 1: Improves defense. That is so good. Just take the teams 331 00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:32,119 Speaker 1: of the best cap space, leak it out there. What 332 00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:34,119 Speaker 1: are they going to do? Issue a denial? R I 333 00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:37,840 Speaker 1: mean some of them mighty us. But you can say anything, 334 00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:42,720 Speaker 1: anything at all. Every I read something yesterday one of 335 00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:46,360 Speaker 1: the top guys nothing maybe his outBut prayer nothing's coming 336 00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:48,879 Speaker 1: out of Houston. Nothing. And then I see all these 337 00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:51,760 Speaker 1: people know what's going on and used it right. Yeah, 338 00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:54,800 Speaker 1: good point. John McClain with this general, what about the 339 00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:59,520 Speaker 1: sale of the Washington Commanders are reported six billion dollars? 340 00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:03,600 Speaker 1: You're thoughts I heard. I'll give you guys a scoop, 341 00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:08,440 Speaker 1: and I'm not saying it could happen. I'm saying it 342 00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:11,919 Speaker 1: did happen. Roger Goodell ripped his pants, turned cart wheels 343 00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:15,680 Speaker 1: down the hallway outside his office on Park Avenue, and 344 00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:19,720 Speaker 1: that's in fact nice, nice price. Well you don't think 345 00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:21,679 Speaker 1: every other owner is doing the same thing right now, 346 00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:29,160 Speaker 1: absolutely with that stadium. So happy six billion with that stadium. 347 00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:34,119 Speaker 1: Now it's a proud franchise. Blow the stadium up they 348 00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:37,080 Speaker 1: want to. But general, if the change the name Commanders 349 00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:40,800 Speaker 1: are worth six billion, what are the Texans worth? You know? 350 00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:43,320 Speaker 1: I think it's in a similar ballpark, to be honest 351 00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:46,600 Speaker 1: with you, because on the Forbes list they're sort of 352 00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:49,879 Speaker 1: in the similar neighborhood, if you will. But the Texans 353 00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:53,040 Speaker 1: have a better stadium. It's not brand new exactly, but 354 00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:55,640 Speaker 1: I think a better situation here. But we'll see where 355 00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:58,080 Speaker 1: it all goes. They're gonna get a new stadium, They're 356 00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:00,760 Speaker 1: gonna get a stadium into district. They're going to get 357 00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:05,639 Speaker 1: anything they want. Josh Harris, Mitchell, Rail's Magic Johnson. They 358 00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:09,240 Speaker 1: will give them anything they want. Bob McNair told me 359 00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:12,480 Speaker 1: one time the NFAT because he had been vetted and 360 00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:16,440 Speaker 1: approved as an owner by the Finance Committee, and he 361 00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:19,160 Speaker 1: told me that they would call him and say, well, 362 00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:21,920 Speaker 1: we got we're going to expand here, this team might 363 00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:24,600 Speaker 1: be for sale or you went were you interested? And 364 00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:28,040 Speaker 1: he looked into Miami, didn't like the pat Wayne Is 365 00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:30,840 Speaker 1: sing it was going to keep the stadium because he 366 00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:33,280 Speaker 1: would have wanted both. So he didn't do it. And 367 00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:36,080 Speaker 1: the only one he said he would really have been 368 00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:40,119 Speaker 1: interested in was Redskins because he said, I spend a 369 00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:42,560 Speaker 1: lot of time up there. I like the city. I 370 00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:45,600 Speaker 1: got a lot of friends up there. There's something magical 371 00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:48,880 Speaker 1: about that franchise as long as it's been in business. 372 00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:52,440 Speaker 1: And and I said, well, are you going to do it? 373 00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:55,280 Speaker 1: He said, no, I'm trying to get a team for Houston. 374 00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:59,480 Speaker 1: And then they got Daniel Snyder. Oh boy, what a 375 00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:03,520 Speaker 1: const leaps that. Yeah, they would like the different situation 376 00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:05,520 Speaker 1: for sure. Hey, General, we haven't had a chance to 377 00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:08,439 Speaker 1: talk to you since I think. Yeah, it was Sunday 378 00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:10,359 Speaker 1: because I was going to see the movie Air and 379 00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:12,600 Speaker 1: on the way over I saw the news about OBJ 380 00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:16,680 Speaker 1: signing with Baltimore, and I can't in good conscience, General 381 00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:19,399 Speaker 1: think that he's signing with Baltimore one year prove it 382 00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:23,040 Speaker 1: deal basically to go catch passes from Tyler Huntley. I 383 00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:25,560 Speaker 1: feel like he had to have known and has to 384 00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:27,720 Speaker 1: know that Lamar Jackson's coming back. What are your thoughts 385 00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:30,000 Speaker 1: about Obj and what that can mean for lamar or 386 00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:32,240 Speaker 1: whether they're just two separate things. Maybe I'm wrong, Maybe 387 00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:35,200 Speaker 1: OBJ just yeah, loves Baltimore and he's gonna do it regardless. 388 00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:38,000 Speaker 1: But what do you think about that situation? Having had 389 00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:40,640 Speaker 1: the chance to think about it over the weekend, I've 390 00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:43,240 Speaker 1: never had a thought. I've never thought for an instant 391 00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:46,200 Speaker 1: that he was going to be anywhere with Baltimore because 392 00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:50,119 Speaker 1: nobody's gonna pay him what he wanted. And so Odell 393 00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:53,399 Speaker 1: Beckham said he was not getting offers more than four million, 394 00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:56,199 Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, he gets fifteen guaranteed. 395 00:21:56,760 --> 00:22:00,359 Speaker 1: I'm guessing even if he doesn't know about Lamarck, and 396 00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:03,280 Speaker 1: he's going there because they offered him the most money. 397 00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:07,520 Speaker 1: It's like there was leaked somewhere. Beckham was going to 398 00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:10,040 Speaker 1: the Jets the next day and spend the day. And 399 00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:12,679 Speaker 1: I bet an agent leaked that to try to get 400 00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:15,960 Speaker 1: the Ravens to seal the deal, and they did. And 401 00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:18,440 Speaker 1: he'll be a number one receiver there and he gone 402 00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:21,840 Speaker 1: to Jets. He might be number three and hopefully he'll 403 00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:24,560 Speaker 1: be healthy and be a good player. But at his age, 404 00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:27,199 Speaker 1: he's not going to get a big contract for multiple 405 00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:30,119 Speaker 1: years like you wants. But it'll be fun watching the 406 00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:33,000 Speaker 1: two of them together. How soon after the draft does 407 00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:35,680 Speaker 1: the Aaron Rodgers to New York De'll go down. I 408 00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:39,359 Speaker 1: think it's going down before because the Packers want something 409 00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:42,040 Speaker 1: this year. They want a second round pick. They're not 410 00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:44,560 Speaker 1: going to get the thirteenth pick. They should get a 411 00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:48,920 Speaker 1: second round pick something else and a conditional number one 412 00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:51,680 Speaker 1: next year if he's back for his second year with 413 00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:54,399 Speaker 1: the Jets, that would be fair. I think it'll be 414 00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:57,920 Speaker 1: done before the draft because I can't imagine they don't 415 00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:02,040 Speaker 1: want to add a really good prospect besides their first pick, 416 00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:07,560 Speaker 1: a really good prospect to help Jordan Love make that transition. 417 00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:11,400 Speaker 1: Because with Brett Farven Aaron Rodgers, has there ever been 418 00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:15,600 Speaker 1: a quarterback under more pressure than he's under and by 419 00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:18,280 Speaker 1: a fan base that wants to know what they for 420 00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:20,879 Speaker 1: breakfast and what time they go to bed. They have 421 00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:24,160 Speaker 1: to surround him with weapons, and that's why I think 422 00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:26,600 Speaker 1: they'll go ahead and do that deal. General, what do 423 00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:28,920 Speaker 1: you have going on on your various platforms? I have 424 00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:33,160 Speaker 1: mark Draft five on Gallery sports dot com and I'm 425 00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:36,240 Speaker 1: writing a column tomorrow. I'll be in Waco and duckson 426 00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:38,680 Speaker 1: that takes the Sports Hall of Fame and listen to 427 00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:44,520 Speaker 1: this crap.

It's 430 00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:56,040 Speaker 1: going to be a heck of a class. I'm writing 431 00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:59,040 Speaker 1: about Brazil Friday, and then I'm going to write about 432 00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:03,359 Speaker 1: Strahan and the others on Monday. And I have a 433 00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:06,080 Speaker 1: column on the Texans in the draft next week on 434 00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:10,560 Speaker 1: Sports Radio six ten dot com. Thank you guys.

Nice job by the 442 00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:42,440 Speaker 1: social crew to pull out the archives stuff and make 443 00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:46,520 Speaker 1: it new again on Insta.

Hello, 449 00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:14,600 Speaker 1: Mark Vandamer and John Harris with you in the studio 450 00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:18,320 Speaker 1: the Junta Texans Radio Studio live here at NRG Stadium. 451 00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:21,760 Speaker 1: Guys are working out all week. The offseason program underway. 452 00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:23,760 Speaker 1: It's great seeing the guys around the hallways and in 453 00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:26,720 Speaker 1: the meal room and doing their thing. And it's just 454 00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:29,440 Speaker 1: awesome to see them back. Haven't seen them on the 455 00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:31,960 Speaker 1: field yet because they're not really on the field right. 456 00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:34,159 Speaker 1: They're working out. They're able to go out in the 457 00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:37,280 Speaker 1: field and work out there, right, that's legal. Yeah, they 458 00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:39,560 Speaker 1: just can't do anything with the ball and coaches and 459 00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:43,119 Speaker 1: actual football stuff, but they can talk about football because 460 00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:44,800 Speaker 1: there are many weeks where they're not even allowed to 461 00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:47,840 Speaker 1: talk about football with the coach, which is weird to me. 462 00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:50,680 Speaker 1: But if you open up that Pandora's box, then there's 463 00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:52,959 Speaker 1: gonna be all this peer pressure too. Well, how come 464 00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:55,240 Speaker 1: you're not meeting with your coach every week to advance 465 00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:57,800 Speaker 1: your mental game and take the mental reps or whatever 466 00:25:57,880 --> 00:25:59,480 Speaker 1: else they might do. All right, are you ready for 467 00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:02,520 Speaker 1: Who's best? Of course, let's do it. Who's better? Johnny? 468 00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:06,800 Speaker 1: You brought up ob J better receiver right now? Healthy 469 00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:10,840 Speaker 1: O b J, DeAndre Hopkins, and it was coming DeAndre Hopkins, 470 00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:14,960 Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins. I still think that. I still think Hops 471 00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:18,200 Speaker 1: got his game left. Now. Obj's had a couple of 472 00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:22,000 Speaker 1: ACL tears and he still looks surpryed, he still looks good. 473 00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:24,120 Speaker 1: We talked about this before the show. You know, coming 474 00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:28,040 Speaker 1: off an ACL tear, it's not what it used to be. Um, 475 00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:30,760 Speaker 1: it feels like you can get back in like a 476 00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:33,840 Speaker 1: month or two early. Maybe that's not the truth, but 477 00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:36,760 Speaker 1: it fuels that way. So I do think that Obj's 478 00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:39,879 Speaker 1: got a lot to prove. But there were years, years 479 00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:42,480 Speaker 1: where ob J was just not in the same class 480 00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:45,520 Speaker 1: as hop not even not even close. Then he has 481 00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:48,359 Speaker 1: this year with the Rams and it was like okay, 482 00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:52,080 Speaker 1: but he was the third option for the Rams. Third, Yeah, third, 483 00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:55,840 Speaker 1: I guess you could say. Um became the second once 484 00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:58,480 Speaker 1: Bobby Trees Robert Woods now a Texan, got hurt. Then 485 00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:00,520 Speaker 1: he became the second option. But it was he was 486 00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:02,600 Speaker 1: the number one option. Hop has been the number one 487 00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:06,200 Speaker 1: option whenever he's played a football game. Okay, so I 488 00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:09,000 Speaker 1: think he still is that guy. And of course you 489 00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:12,280 Speaker 1: put on Instagram yesterday do you see that H Time? Yeah? 490 00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:14,360 Speaker 1: And then and then he had a picture of him 491 00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:17,800 Speaker 1: making a toe tapper on the Cardinals sideline from the 492 00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:22,280 Speaker 1: game in seventeen. That is by design, my friends, that 493 00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:24,240 Speaker 1: he did that. I don't know what it all means. 494 00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:28,240 Speaker 1: I'm intrigued, of course, like everybody else's. And yes, I 495 00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:33,320 Speaker 1: had to ask DPC do about H Time? Oh okay, 496 00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:36,600 Speaker 1: And she's probably laughing right now. She's listening because she's thinking, 497 00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:39,760 Speaker 1: you actually said each time on the air. You're not 498 00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:43,680 Speaker 1: even remotely in the zip code of coolness to say 499 00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:48,119 Speaker 1: H Time on the air? Are we gonna have an 500 00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:50,680 Speaker 1: H Time shirt? I don't know. I mean when I 501 00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:52,600 Speaker 1: saw it, he's got one out there, I'm sure I 502 00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:56,119 Speaker 1: felt the vibe of what it meant. Yeah, I just 503 00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:59,680 Speaker 1: didn't crystallize it. I couldn't define it, but I kind 504 00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:02,399 Speaker 1: of el and I think that's all I really was 505 00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:04,800 Speaker 1: meant to do in this case. So there it is. It. 506 00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:07,359 Speaker 1: Hop tweeted that or put that out there on What 507 00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:11,920 Speaker 1: was that instead or twet? It was on Instagram intriguing 508 00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:20,040 Speaker 1: that in a Texans uniform tiptoe catch on the Cardinals sideline. Dang, oh, 509 00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:24,560 Speaker 1: the Cardinals must be so happy about this. I really 510 00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:26,760 Speaker 1: got nothing to do with it. Over here. Put another 511 00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:31,640 Speaker 1: somebody to put another photo of hop and Isaiah Simmons 512 00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:38,960 Speaker 1: um mud bogging somewhere. And I think it was Hoppy 513 00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:43,080 Speaker 1: p Crosby, Texas. Oh yeah, maybe he's just in town 514 00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:46,640 Speaker 1: and so he's just he's just feeling it, reliving the memories. Well, 515 00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:48,440 Speaker 1: hop if you're listening, we love you, man, just let 516 00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:50,640 Speaker 1: you know. Yeah, of course, of course I love him 517 00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:55,880 Speaker 1: very much. All right, who's better? Better quarterbacks? AFC North, 518 00:28:56,760 --> 00:29:00,240 Speaker 1: AFC West. Texans played the West last year, play the 519 00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:04,640 Speaker 1: North this year with Pittsburgh and Cleveland coming to NRG 520 00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:08,840 Speaker 1: Stadium and trips to Cincinnati and Baltimore. Let's assume that 521 00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:12,240 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson is a raven. Okay, So you have Lamar Jackson, 522 00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:16,560 Speaker 1: Joe Burrow, Kenny Pickett, and Deshaun Watson in the AFC North. 523 00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:22,520 Speaker 1: AFC West, you have Patrick Mahomes the best, you have Herbert, 524 00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:26,000 Speaker 1: you have Jimmy Garoppolo. And Russell Wilson. Now those last 525 00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:29,160 Speaker 1: two names look pretty good on paper a couple of 526 00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:31,600 Speaker 1: years ago. Well, Garoppolo still looks good to me. I 527 00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:33,520 Speaker 1: think with the Raiders system should be able to do 528 00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:38,840 Speaker 1: some things. Russell Wilson does. Sean Payton resurrect his career. 529 00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:42,160 Speaker 1: So who has better quarterbacks? AFC North, AFC west Man. 530 00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:43,920 Speaker 1: That's so tough if you matched him up one two 531 00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:49,440 Speaker 1: three four one two three four Burrow against Mahomes Carson Carson, 532 00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:52,160 Speaker 1: Palmer said Burrow the other day. Now he's a former Bengo, 533 00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:56,840 Speaker 1: so please, Mahomes has taken that to Lamar versus Herbert. 534 00:29:57,360 --> 00:30:01,160 Speaker 1: I think I would go Herbert. Three would be Deshaun 535 00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:06,280 Speaker 1: versus Garoppolo or Russell. But what are you getting with DeShawn? 536 00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:07,880 Speaker 1: I don't I don't think you know who he is 537 00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:11,400 Speaker 1: right against Russell? And it's the it's the game of confusion. Listen, 538 00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:13,480 Speaker 1: if you had to play a game in three weeks 539 00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:16,760 Speaker 1: from today and you could have Watson or Garoppolo to 540 00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:20,840 Speaker 1: get ready with Watson, really, yeah, you were here. Do 541 00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:24,080 Speaker 1: you just see this? Yeah? You were on the sideline 542 00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:28,000 Speaker 1: through this whole thing. Are you watching? You've I'm talking 543 00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:33,440 Speaker 1: three weeks on today, not today. Listen. You know Watson 544 00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:35,680 Speaker 1: well enough. You know that you know him. You know 545 00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:38,440 Speaker 1: after this season went south, you know, the first thing 546 00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:41,480 Speaker 1: he thought about was I'm gonna show everybody. I'm showing 547 00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:44,560 Speaker 1: the problem. I don't know what the first thing he 548 00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:48,160 Speaker 1: thought about was. And that is the problem right now. 549 00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:50,400 Speaker 1: Used to be that he thought about that. It used 550 00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:53,000 Speaker 1: to be that he thought about proving everybody wrong. Um, 551 00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:55,920 Speaker 1: and I get the fastest chance. Listen, I'm not saying 552 00:30:55,920 --> 00:31:00,040 Speaker 1: that spending on Jimmy Garoppolo, but in this context, I 553 00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:04,520 Speaker 1: am a healthy Garoppolo because I don't know how long 554 00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:07,320 Speaker 1: it's gonna take for Watson to turn back into Watson, 555 00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:09,880 Speaker 1: and if it ever happens, I at least know that 556 00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:12,880 Speaker 1: if Garoppolo is healthy, I'm gonna get X with Watson. 557 00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:15,800 Speaker 1: Why did I have to use that letter. I'm gonna 558 00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:18,520 Speaker 1: get something. I don't know what it is. It could 559 00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:20,840 Speaker 1: be great, it could be what I just saw you. 560 00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:28,400 Speaker 1: You know what, Garoppolo, You're getting meat loaf? Yeah, with Watson, 561 00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:35,120 Speaker 1: you could get a wonderful poorhouse, or you could get 562 00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:39,640 Speaker 1: shoelong cook could give you food poisoning. Yes, yes, you 563 00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:42,160 Speaker 1: know ground line. So if I'm betting, I'm taking a 564 00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:45,360 Speaker 1: more high percent because I could still win the game. 565 00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:49,280 Speaker 1: I think there's a you're right. What listen, what did 566 00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:51,719 Speaker 1: Sean do in that game? He did nothing and they 567 00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:55,200 Speaker 1: still beat us by two touchdowns. It's because we were 568 00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:59,560 Speaker 1: having a few problems last year. Okay, you know he knows. 569 00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:04,320 Speaker 1: Here's the way I'll say it is this. I have, 570 00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:09,680 Speaker 1: at one point in my lifetime seen Watson do it. 571 00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:16,080 Speaker 1: I have never seen Jimmy Garoppolo do it. Okay, that's 572 00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:17,480 Speaker 1: the way I will put it. And I think that 573 00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:23,560 Speaker 1: Watson can get back better team. But you've seen Garoppolo 574 00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:25,840 Speaker 1: go to a super Bowl, go to a couple of 575 00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:30,600 Speaker 1: NFC champions. Jimmy's like Jimmy's meat loaf. I like meat loaf. 576 00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:33,520 Speaker 1: I like a good it's a good meat loaf. I 577 00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:35,840 Speaker 1: like a good meat loaf. But I sure is that 578 00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:37,800 Speaker 1: I'm not picking a meat loaf over a porterhouse. And 579 00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:40,560 Speaker 1: that's what I say. That's why I see DeShawn can 580 00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:44,080 Speaker 1: get back to He's still a young dude. He can 581 00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:47,400 Speaker 1: still find it. They're gonna fix that offense around him. 582 00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:49,800 Speaker 1: What I don't think will be good. Now here's the 583 00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:53,200 Speaker 1: other question. Where are we playing because I think I 584 00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:55,440 Speaker 1: think Deshaun did something that he'll look back on and 585 00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:57,320 Speaker 1: he'll regret. And that's the fact that he has to 586 00:32:57,440 --> 00:33:01,239 Speaker 1: play in Cleveland at least three or four times from 587 00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:04,120 Speaker 1: middle of November through the beginning of January. And that 588 00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:07,800 Speaker 1: will always skew all his stats and all his numbers 589 00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:11,320 Speaker 1: and everything that he holds deer. That will always always 590 00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:13,560 Speaker 1: Whereas here he could have been inside for an eight 591 00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:16,040 Speaker 1: or nine games, Garoppolo will be inside for eight or 592 00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:19,880 Speaker 1: nine games. That's a big that's a big factor, a 593 00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:22,880 Speaker 1: big fan in the West where it's mostly good. Right, 594 00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:27,200 Speaker 1: you're playing indoors with the Chargers playing indoors. Yeah, you know, 595 00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:30,520 Speaker 1: you you never know what Denver in Kansas City, but 596 00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:34,080 Speaker 1: you're at least indoors. And look once once Tennessee gets 597 00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:37,040 Speaker 1: its new building built, we're playing all our games indoors. 598 00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:41,440 Speaker 1: NC South and Watson in the AFC North. I mean 599 00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:45,640 Speaker 1: it's all Burr City, right, right, So there's at least 600 00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:47,720 Speaker 1: at least five or six games that he has to 601 00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:51,960 Speaker 1: play in Cleveland or Pittsburgh or Since or Baltimore down 602 00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:55,160 Speaker 1: to stretch where heat is not like the playing net. However, 603 00:33:55,440 --> 00:34:00,560 Speaker 1: the bank account. Yes, um, yeah, okay, So I put 604 00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:02,400 Speaker 1: this tweet out today. I just want to I just 605 00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:06,160 Speaker 1: want to check if I said to you, um, that's 606 00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:08,600 Speaker 1: not going to happen, because I got a savings that's 607 00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:10,320 Speaker 1: why all my money is and takes three days to 608 00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:13,560 Speaker 1: get to my business. Do you know what that is from? Wait? 609 00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:17,560 Speaker 1: If I mentioned my savings and my checking and I 610 00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:19,520 Speaker 1: and I won't go through, do you know what that's from? 611 00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:22,200 Speaker 1: Tell me? Okay, it's from mcvin hart joke. And I 612 00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:24,680 Speaker 1: just wanted because I feel like I've heard that so 613 00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:27,200 Speaker 1: many people use that, all right, and so I use 614 00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:29,680 Speaker 1: that in a tweet just and I wondered, who I 615 00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:31,759 Speaker 1: need to watch more Kevin Hart. I don't know, I 616 00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:33,759 Speaker 1: don't I don't know. I just have to be I 617 00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:35,680 Speaker 1: love stand up. I love stand up. And I heard 618 00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:37,080 Speaker 1: that and I thought it was really funny, like the 619 00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:39,399 Speaker 1: short stuff I've seen with him. That's not a joke, 620 00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:41,080 Speaker 1: by the way. I like the stuff i've seen with 621 00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:44,040 Speaker 1: him in short, you know, just short form videos and 622 00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:47,399 Speaker 1: commercials and this here and that there, and a couple 623 00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:49,279 Speaker 1: of movie scenes. But I haven't seen a ton of 624 00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:52,239 Speaker 1: like stand up from him. Yeah, I think I think 625 00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:55,359 Speaker 1: it's good. I haven't seen anything recently. But long story short, 626 00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:57,960 Speaker 1: I'm taking to Sean mccup. Okay, all right, let's so 627 00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:04,120 Speaker 1: who has better quarterbacks? AFC north West, Um North Okay? 628 00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:07,879 Speaker 1: I think that because Picket is better than Wilson. Right now, 629 00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:11,320 Speaker 1: if you have to play a game in three weeks 630 00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:18,040 Speaker 1: and I'll give you Russell Wilson or Kenny Pickett, you 631 00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:22,160 Speaker 1: want to say Katy Pickett, then you got and you 632 00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:25,919 Speaker 1: got other cold. Russell Wilson gave everybody in Denver food 633 00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:29,120 Speaker 1: poisoning last year. Man Pickett shined at the end of 634 00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:32,400 Speaker 1: the year when they needed that game to keep talking to. 635 00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:35,120 Speaker 1: I would I would. I think Picket's got a little 636 00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:38,320 Speaker 1: something that And by a little something, I mean he 637 00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:40,680 Speaker 1: can rip it. But I think he's got that little 638 00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:43,040 Speaker 1: bit like Joe Burrow does. He's got that little that 639 00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:46,160 Speaker 1: confident streak of like I might be down and back 640 00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:47,960 Speaker 1: my backs against the wall, but I'm gonna find a 641 00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:51,319 Speaker 1: way in his life. There's no question about it. He's 642 00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:53,080 Speaker 1: lost that though. He better find that early in the 643 00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:54,759 Speaker 1: season or they're gonna have to find a way to 644 00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:56,400 Speaker 1: get out of that contract. All right, Bear with me 645 00:35:56,480 --> 00:36:02,600 Speaker 1: with this who's better. Better idea quarterback and give me 646 00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:07,560 Speaker 1: a pass rusher at twelve, Miles Murphy, Miles Murphy and 647 00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:14,480 Speaker 1: jail and Hyatt at thirty three, or quarterback Jackson Smith 648 00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:21,080 Speaker 1: and Jake bub and top rated center at thirty three 649 00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:26,640 Speaker 1: John Michael Schmidt's Luke Wipler. Okay, so quarterback, Miles Murphy, 650 00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:34,200 Speaker 1: Jalen Hyatt, quarterback JSN My pick a center. Boy, that's tough. 651 00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:38,520 Speaker 1: That's really tough because you're hitting all You're hitting all 652 00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:40,719 Speaker 1: of them right there. One are the four biggest needs 653 00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:42,640 Speaker 1: for this team. Does Jaalen Hyatt make it out of 654 00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:46,120 Speaker 1: the first round? I think he could. I think it's 655 00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:51,920 Speaker 1: very plausible. A hot I know I would too. I 656 00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:55,960 Speaker 1: think it's very I think it's possible. The Texans could 657 00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:58,279 Speaker 1: have a decision if they're gonna go receiver at thirty three. 658 00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:02,960 Speaker 1: I think there's gonna be some receivers that I think 659 00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:04,719 Speaker 1: they give. I think the receivers get pushed down. I 660 00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:06,680 Speaker 1: think there's gonna be a run on corners. I think 661 00:37:06,719 --> 00:37:08,799 Speaker 1: there's gonna be a run on edge players, and then 662 00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:12,040 Speaker 1: you're gonna have I think you're gonna have. Boy, you 663 00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:14,040 Speaker 1: could have five quarterbacks going why is there a run 664 00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:16,080 Speaker 1: on corners when there's so many good corners in the draft. 665 00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:18,440 Speaker 1: There's a lot of teams that need them. It's funny 666 00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:20,200 Speaker 1: going through each team doing a mock draft. This is 667 00:37:20,239 --> 00:37:22,480 Speaker 1: what's helped me, going through the mock draft and going 668 00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:24,839 Speaker 1: the steam meanings a corner. This team needs a corner, 669 00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:26,880 Speaker 1: and why not give you know, so it's easy to slot. 670 00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:30,759 Speaker 1: In some cases you want an easy mock pick and 671 00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:34,160 Speaker 1: you take them where you can. But like Detroit needs 672 00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:38,600 Speaker 1: a corner, they're picking twice. The Steelers could use a corner. Absolutely, 673 00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:41,160 Speaker 1: the Vikings could use a corner. Yet the Texans are 674 00:37:41,239 --> 00:37:43,720 Speaker 1: mocked a corner and some drafts, which is kind of nutty, 675 00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:47,239 Speaker 1: right it kind of Steven Nelson, Ye have sting. You're 676 00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:50,200 Speaker 1: in pretty good shape here to a point where you 677 00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:53,520 Speaker 1: can look at corner later. Yeah, where you can look 678 00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:55,680 Speaker 1: at corner later. Now, if you get you get the 679 00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:59,000 Speaker 1: thirty three. And for some reason, Christian Zales has fallen 680 00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:00,960 Speaker 1: for whatever reason, I don't know. He's got a bad 681 00:38:01,040 --> 00:38:04,440 Speaker 1: toe and he's best available athlete over taken one, right, 682 00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:07,160 Speaker 1: But that's I don't I don't think that's gonna happen. 683 00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:12,600 Speaker 1: So to that one I would probably go quarterback Murphy Hyatt. Okay, 684 00:38:12,719 --> 00:38:17,440 Speaker 1: I get my edge rusher and look, the center's thirty 685 00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:20,720 Speaker 1: three is a little rich, but I feel like thirty 686 00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:24,279 Speaker 1: three is the exact spot, probably a little later than 687 00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:26,840 Speaker 1: for Jalen Hyatt, so I think it's perfect. So I 688 00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:29,319 Speaker 1: would go with thou. I think that's the best value. Next. 689 00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:33,839 Speaker 1: McLean's latest mock draft. How far fetched is it? It's 690 00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:41,640 Speaker 1: Texans Radio. Texans All Access continues in a moment, Texans 691 00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:47,000 Speaker 1: Radio is back Park vandom Aaron, John Harris hanging out 692 00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:50,759 Speaker 1: with you in the hunday Texans Radio studio. McClean, that 693 00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:53,080 Speaker 1: would be the general John McLean, you're familiar with his work, 694 00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:56,040 Speaker 1: had a mock draft his latest. This is the four 695 00:38:56,160 --> 00:38:59,080 Speaker 1: hundredth one he's done this offseason. So one of these 696 00:38:59,160 --> 00:39:05,080 Speaker 1: might be right. But his latest, yeah, you're right. He 697 00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:08,239 Speaker 1: had Hendon Hooker at twelve? Who did he have it too? 698 00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:12,120 Speaker 1: Will Anniston Jr. Oh so at Will Anderson, then Hendon 699 00:39:12,239 --> 00:39:15,320 Speaker 1: Hooker two and twelve. And I said, that's what I 700 00:39:15,360 --> 00:39:17,799 Speaker 1: gave you last night, And you said, I don't drive 701 00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:20,799 Speaker 1: home happy that night. I will. I'll drive home very happy. 702 00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:23,319 Speaker 1: I think Hendon Hooker is gonna be back sooner than 703 00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:28,560 Speaker 1: you think. Knee surgery. You're back faster than ever Achilles surgery. 704 00:39:28,680 --> 00:39:31,000 Speaker 1: I was joking with you earlier, I said, Achilles, I 705 00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:33,240 Speaker 1: mean that used to be like Tommy John. Even Tommy 706 00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:38,200 Speaker 1: John is less time than it ever was. Modern medical technology. 707 00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:41,960 Speaker 1: It's great. You get guys back from knee surgery so 708 00:39:42,120 --> 00:39:45,040 Speaker 1: much faster. The treatment available is amazing. I'm not sure 709 00:39:45,120 --> 00:39:46,920 Speaker 1: what he's doing. And even you know, he's got the 710 00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:51,120 Speaker 1: best stuff. Even if you don't get back in earlier time, 711 00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:56,279 Speaker 1: you're built better like you don't. You don't have the 712 00:39:56,360 --> 00:39:58,080 Speaker 1: thought of, oh, I'm just gonna retear it again because 713 00:39:58,080 --> 00:40:00,640 Speaker 1: it wasn't taken care of or right the first first time. 714 00:40:00,719 --> 00:40:04,600 Speaker 1: So you have you have that So yeah, I mean 715 00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:08,080 Speaker 1: Willie Interesston Junior, Hendy Hooker, I asked you that last night. 716 00:40:08,280 --> 00:40:10,799 Speaker 1: And it's funny because all those scenarios I thought through, 717 00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:13,560 Speaker 1: what you know, how would I feel about those? And 718 00:40:13,840 --> 00:40:17,000 Speaker 1: the one that I said most about was Anthony richardson 719 00:40:17,120 --> 00:40:18,719 Speaker 1: two and Jaylen Carter at twelve, which I don't. I 720 00:40:18,719 --> 00:40:20,160 Speaker 1: don't think it's gonna happen. I don't. I don't think 721 00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:21,920 Speaker 1: there's anyway Jane Lee Carter gets out of top ten 722 00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:24,040 Speaker 1: no matter what. I don't think he gets out at 723 00:40:24,080 --> 00:40:28,319 Speaker 1: top ten. But will Intereston Junior and Hendon Hooker, Yeah, 724 00:40:28,320 --> 00:40:30,319 Speaker 1: I'll saw it for that for sure. So last night, 725 00:40:30,640 --> 00:40:32,880 Speaker 1: Big Brother Big I keep saying that the Boys and 726 00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:35,839 Speaker 1: Girls Clubs of Houston, Yeah, Big Brothers, Big Sisters also 727 00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:38,880 Speaker 1: a fine organization. But the Boys and Girls Clubs of Houston. 728 00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:42,400 Speaker 1: What an organization. Key partner of the Houston Texans Foundation 729 00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:44,479 Speaker 1: for a long time, along with the Houston Food Bank 730 00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:49,160 Speaker 1: and Houston Texans YMC.

And he said, well, 746 00:41:37,920 --> 00:41:40,680 Speaker 1: you can be sure I'm paraphrasing here. And he said, 747 00:41:40,719 --> 00:41:43,160 Speaker 1: well you could be sure if one thing it's misdirection season, 748 00:41:43,520 --> 00:41:45,719 Speaker 1: somebody will tell you one thing and they might do 749 00:41:45,840 --> 00:41:48,440 Speaker 1: the other thing. That's what Schefter said. I mean every 750 00:41:48,520 --> 00:41:52,320 Speaker 1: and that's the thing. Here's the thing. Everybody knows it. 751 00:41:53,200 --> 00:41:57,200 Speaker 1: Everybody knows it's misdirection, it's lying season, whatever. And yet 752 00:41:57,640 --> 00:42:01,200 Speaker 1: we can't help ourselves. Can't help ourselves. We can't help ourselves. 753 00:42:01,480 --> 00:42:04,399 Speaker 1: We get a piece of information from who knows where, 754 00:42:04,520 --> 00:42:07,640 Speaker 1: from God knows who, from a third level source, you know. 755 00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:11,920 Speaker 1: This guy's third cousin five times removed said that he 756 00:42:12,080 --> 00:42:15,640 Speaker 1: ran into Bryce Young's barber who said that we should 757 00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:18,680 Speaker 1: take Clayton tune from the University of Houston. We can't 758 00:42:18,719 --> 00:42:21,040 Speaker 1: help ourselves now with social media and how easy it 759 00:42:21,160 --> 00:42:23,840 Speaker 1: is just go, oh, I heard from a source, and 760 00:42:23,960 --> 00:42:26,640 Speaker 1: then to put the words I think or it could 761 00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:29,279 Speaker 1: be or you know, you preface it with all of that, 762 00:42:29,640 --> 00:42:33,280 Speaker 1: and then oh, don't even get me started about Matt Miller. 763 00:42:33,719 --> 00:42:38,040 Speaker 1: Matt Miller, are you he goes on a show stamp 764 00:42:38,120 --> 00:42:40,759 Speaker 1: it it's happening. I got called that day it's for 765 00:42:40,880 --> 00:42:44,640 Speaker 1: c J. Stroud number one pick what. Later that night 766 00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:48,120 Speaker 1: he did another podcast and said it's gonna be Bryce Young. 767 00:42:49,840 --> 00:42:52,000 Speaker 1: We can't think about it and it's gonna be right 768 00:42:52,120 --> 00:42:57,480 Speaker 1: like stop really like his clown show clown show stuff. 769 00:42:57,640 --> 00:42:59,880 Speaker 1: I just we can't help ourselves. We can't. And you know, 770 00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:02,120 Speaker 1: what happens. All these players get drafted, and we're so 771 00:43:02,320 --> 00:43:05,879 Speaker 1: focused on what actually happened because it's cool to see 772 00:43:05,920 --> 00:43:08,279 Speaker 1: what teams drafted who, and you're talking about that, you 773 00:43:08,400 --> 00:43:10,920 Speaker 1: don't really do the deep dive on who was so 774 00:43:11,239 --> 00:43:14,640 Speaker 1: wrong about what they said, you know, And really what 775 00:43:14,760 --> 00:43:17,279 Speaker 1: we should do is go back three years ago and 776 00:43:17,400 --> 00:43:21,839 Speaker 1: check out everybody's evaluations. Yet these players not necessarily where 777 00:43:21,840 --> 00:43:24,120 Speaker 1: they were picked, because predicting where they're picked is one thing, 778 00:43:24,400 --> 00:43:28,000 Speaker 1: predicting how they're gonna play is another. So that to 779 00:43:28,160 --> 00:43:30,080 Speaker 1: me is the interesting stuff. And I know there's stuff 780 00:43:30,120 --> 00:43:32,400 Speaker 1: like that out there, but hey, who's got time for that. 781 00:43:32,560 --> 00:43:35,560 Speaker 1: Let's just opine on whatever. All right, that's gonna do 782 00:43:35,600 --> 00:43:37,960 Speaker 1: it for tonight tomorrow. I give me a sneak preview 783 00:43:38,040 --> 00:43:42,200 Speaker 1: here tomorrow night. Are we gonna run Mike Renner of PF. Yeah, 784 00:43:42,239 --> 00:43:44,960 Speaker 1: we've got Mike Renner for PF. I think we'll get 785 00:43:45,040 --> 00:43:47,480 Speaker 1: his thoughts on some of this draft stuff.

If two and twelve go the way we 789 00:43:56,480 --> 00:43:59,399 Speaker 1: want and we go home Friday night, we're walking out 790 00:43:59,440 --> 00:44:01,600 Speaker 1: with thirty three sixty five seventy three?
