1
00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:02,880
Speaker 1: To be able to take it to that next level.

2
00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:10,680
Speaker 1: That's what I'm excited about. Mills. Rick cast aside hard

3
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:14,640
Speaker 1: with the sack back at the twenty five yard line touchdown.

4
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:19,520
Speaker 1: You'll stand rock and roll tram off coast to coast.

5
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:23,960
Speaker 1: There is no off season for your a Houston Texans

6
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:29,520
Speaker 1: game day is every day now. It's Texans All Exans,

7
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:32,960
Speaker 1: Hello Texans, and welcome to the program that brings you

8
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 1: right inside NRG Stadium in audio fashion. Mark VanderMeer and

9
00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:40,080
Speaker 1: John Harris with you on Texans All Access. Johnny, are

10
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:44,080
Speaker 1: you ready to go tonight? Absolutely really excited about the

11
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 1: information and news that dropped a leg. That's how we

12
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:49,320
Speaker 1: say it now. It dropped today. It's kind of like

13
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:53,320
Speaker 1: Drake when he dropped honestly, never mind, just randomly. It

14
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 1: just dropped. News dropped today. That was really really cool.

15
00:00:57,400 --> 00:00:59,480
Speaker 1: I thought it was I thought it was cool. Battle

16
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 1: red helmet. I think everybody thinks it's cool. How can

17
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:04,120
Speaker 1: you not think this is cool? This is cool? Now.

18
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:06,120
Speaker 1: A lot of people thought they were questioning, is this

19
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 1: a full time thing? Is this going to be the

20
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:10,960
Speaker 1: way they will dress every time? No, it's not. It's

21
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 1: battle red Day against the Philadelphia Eagles this year and

22
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:17,760
Speaker 1: they'll wear the battle red helmet for the first time ever.

23
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 1: And Johnny, people who follow me on Instagram, and look,

24
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 1: I'm not a prolific iger, but I did put a

25
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:28,039
Speaker 1: few videos up there last year of remember the battle

26
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 1: red helmet was in the lobby on the mannequin. We

27
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:34,120
Speaker 1: have these player manage lobby and they had the battle

28
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:36,479
Speaker 1: red helmet, a couple of different versions of a battle

29
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 1: red helmet in the lobby and I instagrammed those videos

30
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:43,480
Speaker 1: out and a lot of people questioned it then, but

31
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:45,959
Speaker 1: some are like, what do you do? We were playing

32
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 1: with the idea you have to do this well in advance.

33
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 1: It's like applying for citizenship to get a uniform changed

34
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 1: in this league, and they did it with this battle

35
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 1: red helmet. It's gonna be cool. What different versions of

36
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 1: red that they have? Was a Matt Red you know,

37
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 1: it looked cool. I think some people have posted pictures

38
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 1: of a Matt Black helmet. Matt Black, I'd be cool

39
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 1: with two, but they're not gonna do that. And you

40
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:16,520
Speaker 1: never know, someday maybe in the future. Who knows, white helmet.

41
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 1: Of course, people are familiar with the image of mister

42
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 1: McNair holding up a white helmet when the Texans originated,

43
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 1: well before they ever played a game, because that's just

44
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 1: the thing they went with to say, this is what

45
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,960
Speaker 1: the basic logo and helmet is, but we're gonna make

46
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:32,519
Speaker 1: some changes, and they did. They went with the deep

47
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 1: steel blue look, which I think is the right way

48
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 1: to go. But I think it's cool to have this

49
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 1: alternate look. I like it. I like it a lot.

50
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 1: I like the NFL allowing teams to have their retro

51
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:49,399
Speaker 1: look or a different look. Obviously, you know, I don't

52
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 1: want to say there's nothing as I mean, the Texans

53
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 1: are the only team in the league that where a

54
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 1: retro and their current jersey all in the same so

55
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,360
Speaker 1: the only the only organization that can do that. But

56
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,119
Speaker 1: the Patriots put out a video they're gonna wear a page.

57
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 1: They're gonna wear a pat Patriot on the side of

58
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 1: their helmet again, the one that's snapping the ball looking mean,

59
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:12,239
Speaker 1: which I always like. And I'm a sucker for retro stuff,

60
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:17,520
Speaker 1: so I love that it the NFL yielding a little

61
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 1: bit on this to say, hey, you can wear an

62
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,240
Speaker 1: alternate helmet. I think it's really cool. We talked to

63
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:25,639
Speaker 1: Royce Freeman back a month ago, probably ago, during a

64
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 1: mini camp, and we asked him because he played at

65
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:32,359
Speaker 1: Oregon and when he was there, they were changing every week. Yeah,

66
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 1: and he said, no, it's not always a different helmet,

67
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 1: because if you're in my demographic, you know, wearing a

68
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 1: different helmet. Was at Double hockey Sticks, it was you

69
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 1: gotta break it in. It was awful, yea. And Drew

70
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 1: probably put it best. He was talking to some friends

71
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 1: of his that are about my age and they were like,

72
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 1: the helmet broke you in. It was not the other

73
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 1: way around your head. It was just rough. And so

74
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 1: whenever I used to think about alternate helmets, that would

75
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 1: think of that. But obviously technology has changed and things

76
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 1: are a little bit better. And yeah, yeah, it wasn't

77
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 1: the same helmet that they wore that they would just

78
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 1: paint it differently for different which is amazing to me

79
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 1: because it was metallic and really cool looking. Y. It

80
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:18,720
Speaker 1: looked like it had to be baked or something. I

81
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 1: don't know how they ended up. Yeah, but it's not

82
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 1: like the Notre Dame Rudy helmets with the gold paint

83
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 1: from your kindergarten class that they put on there back

84
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:29,600
Speaker 1: in the day. Look, I love the look we put

85
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 1: out there. The photos are on Houston Texans dot Com,

86
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 1: at Houston Texans on Twitter, all the Texans social media platforms,

87
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:38,839
Speaker 1: and the way the modern helmet is. And I know

88
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 1: different position groups adjust for this, but man, the thing

89
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:44,919
Speaker 1: looks like a motorcycle helmet. Looks awesome. It looks like

90
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:49,599
Speaker 1: evil kinevil. And then you have all the concussion technology

91
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 1: in their concussion prevention technologies anyway, but the red helmet

92
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 1: is cool. Go check it out. All right, here is

93
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:57,480
Speaker 1: what we're gonna do today. In the next segment, we'll

94
00:04:57,480 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 1: do more likely to happen. All right, it's pretty much

95
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 1: a Texan opponent's version for the most part, but we'll

96
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 1: have some adjustments to that. You side of a CBS

97
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 1: Sports tweet of second tier edge rushers all time question,

98
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:13,839
Speaker 1: which is such a deep album cut? I mean, this

99
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 1: is like going to side four of Miles Davis Bitch's

100
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 1: brew and finding some weird cut that he did. But

101
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:22,920
Speaker 1: I want to talk about that maybe at the very

102
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 1: end and when we go around the league. But right now,

103
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:30,239
Speaker 1: the Texans obviously seventeen game schedule, you have the AFC South,

104
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 1: you have the AFC West, you have the NFC East,

105
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 1: you have a couple of other opponents in there. You

106
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 1: play the Cleveland Browns, presumably with Deshaun Watson. Should I

107
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 1: say that presumably? I can't say that. Possibly, I'll just

108
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 1: say possibly possibly. Yeah, speaks have changed so much of

109
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,840
Speaker 1: that situation. Well, I've got from maybe it's an eight

110
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 1: game suspension, maybe it's a whole season, maybe it's six.

111
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 1: Now I don't know what it's going to be. We'll

112
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 1: all find out together. But he could play, might not play. Anyway,

113
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 1: I will throw him into this conversation. Let's ranked the

114
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:04,479
Speaker 1: top five quarterbacks the Texans will face, and we'll go

115
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 1: from number five down. Now you've already ranked yours. Okay,

116
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:11,240
Speaker 1: all right, let's do two things here because it includes

117
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:13,720
Speaker 1: more people this way. Okay, let's do a list without

118
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:16,919
Speaker 1: Watson and a list with Watson. Okay, you go first,

119
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 1: your fifth choice. We'll go five four with which list,

120
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 1: Let's go without without out Watson at first number five

121
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 1: we will face in Las Vegas in October. We will

122
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 1: face Derek Carr. I this is without Watson, was top

123
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:37,239
Speaker 1: five without Watson. Then we'll do the Watson insertion because

124
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:40,280
Speaker 1: I assume he goes into the top five. So Derek

125
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:43,719
Speaker 1: Carr comes out yeah, okay, oh yeah, because he gets

126
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:46,359
Speaker 1: bumped out because he's the fifth correct correct, he becomes

127
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 1: a bubble quarterback, correct bubble quarterback. I always think that

128
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 1: Derek Carr is criminently underrated. Okay, when you think about

129
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 1: what a quarterback is supposed to do, yeah, and how

130
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 1: he's supposed to are supposed to play, how he's supposed

131
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:03,839
Speaker 1: to adapt, adjust, et cetera. I feel like Derek Carr

132
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:09,359
Speaker 1: is is all that, he's everything, and is he you know,

133
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 1: is he Mahomes or a Josh Allen? No? But can

134
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 1: you make the right throw at the right time or

135
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 1: the right guy? Heck yeah? And now he's got his

136
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 1: guy back. When Davante Adams, I think Derek Carr, you know,

137
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 1: with the Josh McDaniels offense in Las Vegas. I just

138
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 1: I have four Derek Carr. I have a good feeling

139
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 1: about that. I feel like that's gonna be a really

140
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 1: solid marriage. So I have Derek cart number five. And

141
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 1: I debated five and four and went kind of back

142
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:36,560
Speaker 1: the one, two and three very easy to me, four

143
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 1: and five and went back and forth who should be fourth.

144
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 1: Who should be fifth? But fifth? Derek Carr. Okay, I

145
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 1: had the same four and five problem, and I and

146
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 1: you and I did not confer about this prior to airtime.

147
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go Dak Prescott number five, ah, because I

148
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 1: had Dak Prescott number four. Okay, all right, And I

149
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 1: think you could flip these two. They're different. Okay, but

150
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 1: you have a card four, I have card four. I

151
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 1: have card four. I'll go Dak at five. Dak's a

152
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 1: dangerous quarterback. He can beat you in a variety of ways.

153
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 1: I get a little bit maybe skewed in my opinion

154
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 1: because I think the offense has some talent there when

155
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:19,000
Speaker 1: everybody's healthy. It's a team thing, possibly as well as

156
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 1: a quarterback thing. I like Dak. I think he's a

157
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 1: top five quarterback the Texans will face this year. But

158
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 1: if Watson plays, he's my bubble guy. He gets bumped

159
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 1: out of the five. So I'm gonna ask you a

160
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:34,120
Speaker 1: weird question, all right, Because driving to the Senior Bowl

161
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:39,319
Speaker 1: in twenty sixteen, yeah, I remember thinking at that point

162
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:42,440
Speaker 1: the Texas need quarterback, right, Carson Wentz was gonna be

163
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 1: there from North Dakota State. Now he hadn't hit laser

164
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 1: red hot, white hot like he was going to. I

165
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 1: went to the Senior Bowl twenty sixteen and I got

166
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 1: a boatload of interviews, and I interviewed every single quarterback

167
00:08:56,960 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 1: because at that point we presumably needed one. Yeah, because

168
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:03,199
Speaker 1: you're coming off the mallet Hoyer right here, right, you

169
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:05,720
Speaker 1: weren't gonna go to Savage. What were you gonna do?

170
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 1: So I and I had always been a fan of Dak,

171
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:12,679
Speaker 1: and I and I did about a five six minute

172
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 1: interview with Dak and he was absolutely awesome, and it

173
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 1: did a social media post for right saying, Hey, I

174
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:20,120
Speaker 1: would love to come to Houston. I don't know. It's somewhere,

175
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 1: and it's somewhere in our building. And I just remember

176
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:25,600
Speaker 1: as he walked away, I thought, that's the guy. I

177
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:30,960
Speaker 1: want him. I want him. He's interesting because of what

178
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:32,880
Speaker 1: he had been through in his life to that point.

179
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 1: He had lost his mom to cancer, he had become

180
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 1: a Mississippi state legend. He had got in Missisippi state

181
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:40,520
Speaker 1: to number one in the country. I knew he wasn't

182
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:44,080
Speaker 1: perfect throwing the ball, but I always thought, man, and

183
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:46,959
Speaker 1: I told I told my guys from from Mississippi when

184
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:48,439
Speaker 1: I went on with him, Matt Whyte, he used to

185
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 1: be a quarterback in Mississippi State, and then Richard Cross,

186
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:52,840
Speaker 1: who was the old Missilent reporter. I told him, I said,

187
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 1: I really want Dak to come to us. I think

188
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 1: this would be a great spot for him. He's got

189
00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 1: to fail safe with DeAndre Hopkins if they run the ball.

190
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:02,720
Speaker 1: And at that point they had not gotten Lamar Miller,

191
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:05,800
Speaker 1: but man, maybe they can find a wayter on the butt. Anyways,

192
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:09,199
Speaker 1: in March they get brock Oswaylder and so I remember thinking, no,

193
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:10,960
Speaker 1: I don't want Dak to come here. I want Dac

194
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 1: to have an opportunity to play. Goes to Dallas. He

195
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:14,960
Speaker 1: starts right away as a rookie. But what if they

196
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 1: ask you, what if that's a good question? What you're

197
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:22,520
Speaker 1: hijacking the segment? Now Dak Prescott had ended up here

198
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:25,560
Speaker 1: in twenty I can do this really fast. If Dak

199
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 1: Prescott gets drafted by the Texans in twenty sixteen, obviously

200
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 1: they don't sign well maybe not obviously, but they don't

201
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:34,880
Speaker 1: get Oswyler in the trade right with Denver right on

202
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 1: the signing, it's a free age, right, there's no trade.

203
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 1: So they don't get Oswyler, but Savage is here, and

204
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:43,600
Speaker 1: they always wanted to look at Savage. Remember, Savage got

205
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:46,320
Speaker 1: hurt in the fourth preseason game prior to twenty fifteen,

206
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 1: making him unavailable. You would have known a lot more

207
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:52,080
Speaker 1: about Savage because he would eventually play, because Hoyer would

208
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:54,720
Speaker 1: get concusted. Ballot would have gone off and been mallet.

209
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 1: So I think Savage it would have been similar to

210
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 1: twenty seventeen. Savage starts the office season as the starter,

211
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:04,080
Speaker 1: Prescott's behind him, Kenny beat him out. You know, Watson

212
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,559
Speaker 1: didn't even start game one in twenty seventeen. We all

213
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:10,600
Speaker 1: know that maybe Prescott rises up and beat Savage out eventually,

214
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:13,040
Speaker 1: maybe week one, week two, whatever it is. Because that

215
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:15,719
Speaker 1: defense was the number one defense in the league that year.

216
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:18,360
Speaker 1: Twenty sixteen, people forget about that what got hurt in

217
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:21,600
Speaker 1: Week three, Yet the Texans still fitis first in defense

218
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 1: with Clowney and Whitney and company doing their thing. That

219
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 1: would have been interesting that Texans team could have got

220
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 1: a lot further with Dak Prescott. Dang it interesting Okay

221
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:35,840
Speaker 1: because now, so maybe I'm crazy with this, but let's

222
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:38,480
Speaker 1: say that Dak shows him as a rookie in twenty sixteen,

223
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:41,440
Speaker 1: like he's got the sauce like he does with Dallas.

224
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:44,200
Speaker 1: It wasn't perfect, but you're not gonna draft Watson. You

225
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 1: keep your pick in twenty seventeen. You don't have to

226
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 1: trade that away for Watson. And because now you've got

227
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:54,600
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott established, maybe you can convince Dwayne to stay

228
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 1: in twenty seventeen as the left tackle things change. Maybe maybe,

229
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 1: but we'll ever know. Look, I got a lot of

230
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:03,800
Speaker 1: what ifs. You know. People Pro Football Talk put out

231
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:06,679
Speaker 1: a Garoppolo tweet today, like I think Garoppolo's gonna end

232
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:08,640
Speaker 1: up with the Texans. It was just a hunch. It's

233
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:11,840
Speaker 1: one of those Florio things. He's just don't playing a hunch, honestly. Yeah,

234
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 1: I don't find it, and I understand him in the

235
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:16,080
Speaker 1: outside looking in why people think that. But my point

236
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:18,320
Speaker 1: is this, you could have had Garoppolo in round two

237
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:20,720
Speaker 1: in twenty fourteen as well and known a lot more

238
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:23,120
Speaker 1: about him as far as how he applies to Houston anyway.

239
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:25,200
Speaker 1: All right, so I've got Dak at five, you have

240
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:29,440
Speaker 1: Car at five, you have car flip for both of us. Yeah, yeah,

241
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 1: And I like I always go back to Mexico City

242
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,600
Speaker 1: Monday Night football with Derek Carr, and he looked like

243
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 1: a tremendous playmaker. He just ripped our hearts out that night.

244
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:41,240
Speaker 1: Maybe because it was Houston and whatever, but that year

245
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:43,719
Speaker 1: he was going really well. And then he got hurt

246
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:46,080
Speaker 1: right before the playoffs and the rest is history. Broke

247
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 1: his foot. We didn't face him. We faced Connor Cook.

248
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:52,959
Speaker 1: All right, third best quarterback the Texans will face this year.

249
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 1: This is the top five without Watson go. We will

250
00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:01,080
Speaker 1: go to Denver in week two to face number three,

251
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 1: and he is third on my list. That's Russell Wilson. Okay,

252
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:09,200
Speaker 1: I you obviously can figure out which two core. I mean,

253
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:10,720
Speaker 1: you can kind of figure it out at that point.

254
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 1: What the rest of my list is, yeah, which is

255
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 1: justin Herbert too, Mahomes I won I know last year

256
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:19,679
Speaker 1: we got after Herbert and you know, made got him

257
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:24,440
Speaker 1: to make make some mistakes. Both sides were dealing with COVID.

258
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:28,160
Speaker 1: Both sides were dealing with COVID, so there were really

259
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 1: no excuses. Herbert had really one bad throw that tav

260
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:36,240
Speaker 1: took back for the pick six that basically cemented the win.

261
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:38,080
Speaker 1: At that point, I'm glad you brought it up that way,

262
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:40,840
Speaker 1: because how did the Texans win that game? Johnny? They

263
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:46,160
Speaker 1: ran the ball? Yeah, for once context, they ran the ball,

264
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 1: kept Herbert on the sideline. I'm telling you, I I know,

265
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes. I mean, to me, there's there's

266
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:57,720
Speaker 1: clear there's a clear tier tier one. There's four guys.

267
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:02,880
Speaker 1: There's Mahomes, Alan Rogers, and then Brady's number four. But

268
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 1: to me, the difference between four and then the rest,

269
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:08,960
Speaker 1: it's those four. But Herbert, I think, is the closest

270
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:12,640
Speaker 1: to kind of bumping his head on moving up into

271
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:14,199
Speaker 1: that group. And a lot of people say Joe Burrow,

272
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:16,839
Speaker 1: and I'm a big Burrow guy. I think it's Herbert Burrow,

273
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:20,160
Speaker 1: But I think Herbert's that guy. Herbert scares the fool

274
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 1: out of me. Now, Russell is undefeated against US, which

275
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 1: apropos of nothing is Okay, that's past history. He's not

276
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:31,680
Speaker 1: with a different team, he's with a different system. All

277
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 1: that's different for him. And it will be week two. Yeah,

278
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:38,800
Speaker 1: it's the first game in Denver, and they will have

279
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 1: come off a game in Seattle where he's going back home.

280
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 1: There'll be a lot of pressure on him. But I

281
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 1: think just overall quarterback play, I think Russell's got Russell's

282
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 1: got a good six seven years left in him, and

283
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:55,240
Speaker 1: I think he will be very, very good this year,

284
00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:57,880
Speaker 1: and I'm hoping in Week two he's just silt. Honestly,

285
00:14:57,880 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 1: in my top five quarterbacks that the Texans will face

286
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:04,240
Speaker 1: the list without Watson, I had Herbert third and Wilson's second.

287
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:07,640
Speaker 1: I know that if you were drafting a team right now, yeah,

288
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:09,840
Speaker 1: there's no way you're not taking Herbert ahead of Wilson.

289
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:14,760
Speaker 1: I understand all this, and in basic ranking ability whatever,

290
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:19,480
Speaker 1: I understand this, But based on the team that Wilson

291
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 1: has around him, look at Denver's numbers, folks, look at

292
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:26,800
Speaker 1: what Denver did, look at the everything from running game,

293
00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:29,120
Speaker 1: to defense to all of it. I just have a

294
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 1: feeling that you insert Wilson into that equation, Denver can

295
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 1: be pretty good. You know, they could be pretty good,

296
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 1: and Wilson still has the goods to deliver a team

297
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:43,560
Speaker 1: into the postseason and beyond. Herbert, as great as he is,

298
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 1: did lose the game in Houston last year, was unable

299
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:49,840
Speaker 1: to get the Chargers over the hump against the Raiders

300
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:52,760
Speaker 1: in the game that everyone wanted to see a tie. Yeah,

301
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:55,680
Speaker 1: so they'd both get in. Everyone except Raiders fans, of course,

302
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:57,800
Speaker 1: but a lot of people wanted to see he got

303
00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 1: but he got them. He got them there, He got

304
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 1: them to a time overtime. That drive in the fourth quarter,

305
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 1: that was a hell of it. It was a heck

306
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:07,600
Speaker 1: of a drive. And I'm not gonna fault to him

307
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:10,920
Speaker 1: because he can't play defensive line against the run game

308
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:12,960
Speaker 1: that was thirty second in the league, and those guys

309
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 1: can't stop the run. I'm not putting. I won't put

310
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 1: that on them. I think about it as I always do.

311
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 1: And you know this, which quarterback would I at least

312
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:24,280
Speaker 1: want to face? And I would rather face Russell Wilson

313
00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:27,640
Speaker 1: than I would justin Herbert. I just I've looked at

314
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:29,880
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson and what he's done to the Texans and

315
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 1: I don't like it. Well that the equation is difficult

316
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:37,240
Speaker 1: because this is a cons of schedule. I'm talking about

317
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:41,200
Speaker 1: in the top five quarterbacks against Houston based on this

318
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:44,800
Speaker 1: year's schedule, who they're facing, where they're facing them, I

319
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:49,040
Speaker 1: don't know. I look, I agree Herbert all day, with

320
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:51,120
Speaker 1: all the measurables and everything like that in the youth

321
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:54,720
Speaker 1: and all you can consider there. But Wilson scares me,

322
00:16:54,800 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 1: and Herbert is obviously a phenomenal pick for the Chargers.

323
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 1: You have to feel like, I hate to say happy

324
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:05,520
Speaker 1: for another franchise, but in the sense that the Chargers

325
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:08,000
Speaker 1: are nomads and they end up in so far but

326
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 1: they get Herbert and they're kind of the sexy LA

327
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 1: team now and they get a little bit of Jews

328
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:13,720
Speaker 1: going that way. But I guarantee you this, I don't

329
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:15,520
Speaker 1: even have to look I don't have to look it up.

330
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:18,720
Speaker 1: They're still having problems selling tickets and oh, justin Herbert

331
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:22,679
Speaker 1: and their in house animator who does their social media.

332
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:25,159
Speaker 1: He's like, those are the two things saving the Chargers

333
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:28,560
Speaker 1: right now, right saving them yet saving I guarantee the

334
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:31,240
Speaker 1: financial numbers are not that great for them. I depite

335
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:33,280
Speaker 1: the fact that they're in the nation's number two market.

336
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:36,560
Speaker 1: They just can't. The Rams are who they are, they

337
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:38,359
Speaker 1: just won the Super Bowl, and it's just difficult for

338
00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:42,119
Speaker 1: the charge Mark. I was talking to my wife and

339
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:44,080
Speaker 1: daughter live out there right now. My daughter is going

340
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:46,280
Speaker 1: to be living out there. My wife is apparently just visiting.

341
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:50,359
Speaker 1: When I mentioned La, and they talk about Rams, Rams

342
00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 1: Rams Rams And at one point I said to them, hey,

343
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:55,320
Speaker 1: you know the Chargers are here too, and they're like,

344
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:58,600
Speaker 1: oh oh yeah, they have to be reminded of that

345
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:01,000
Speaker 1: that's not the that's not the space you want to

346
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:03,800
Speaker 1: be in bed. Don't you think it really hurts the

347
00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 1: Chargers too that the colors are kind of similar. Yeah,

348
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:09,560
Speaker 1: the blues different, but yeah, it's almost like they're sort

349
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 1: of Rams light or something. Here's another one I went into.

350
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 1: I went into like a I think it was Lids,

351
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:19,919
Speaker 1: and we went to Universal and Universal's got this uh,

352
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:21,560
Speaker 1: I can't hear what they called it like a city

353
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:25,000
Speaker 1: walk where it's just like an outdoor mall basically where

354
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:27,159
Speaker 1: I thought I saw George Warhop I'm gonna ask him.

355
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:29,960
Speaker 1: I swear I saw a doppel Gang are f was nap? Anyways,

356
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:31,920
Speaker 1: I went into this lid store and I mean, this

357
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:34,960
Speaker 1: place is packed. It's awesome. They got retro jerseys and

358
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:38,439
Speaker 1: they got everything. There's not one Chargers thing in the

359
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:43,920
Speaker 1: whole place. It's Dodgers and it's Rams. That's bad in La. See,

360
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:45,919
Speaker 1: they need a squad of people to go out and

361
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:48,480
Speaker 1: make sure that they are representative in that athletic it

362
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:52,879
Speaker 1: was rams everywhere. All right? So number one Mahomes, right, yes, Okay,

363
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:55,200
Speaker 1: So this is the top five quarterbacks Texans are facing

364
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:57,840
Speaker 1: this year. The list does not include Watson. Now we'll

365
00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:01,639
Speaker 1: do Watson. Where does he go on your list of

366
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:05,520
Speaker 1: top five quarterbacks the Texans will face in twenty twenty two?

367
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 1: Let me have it. Patrick Mahomes one, Deshaun Watson two. Wow,

368
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:15,880
Speaker 1: that's a lot of respect right there. Listen, We've we've

369
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:18,800
Speaker 1: called every game he's been in. We've seen everything that

370
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:21,560
Speaker 1: he's done. I know he's been away from the game

371
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:24,480
Speaker 1: and might get suspended, so he might miss more games.

372
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:29,879
Speaker 1: There's going to be rust. There's gonna there's gonna be rusted.

373
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:33,720
Speaker 1: He's gonna have to shake off. But I go back

374
00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:41,320
Speaker 1: to that thought of which quarterback who's better? Which one

375
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:43,560
Speaker 1: do I not want to face? All right? Take the

376
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:46,000
Speaker 1: Texans out of it. Let's say you're another team and

377
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:54,000
Speaker 1: you have your choice of facing Mahomes, Herbert, Watson, or Wilson.

378
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:57,320
Speaker 1: I mean I still go in that same, gonna, same direction.

379
00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:01,120
Speaker 1: Mahomes won, Watson two, Herbert three. Okay, I mean, if

380
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:05,520
Speaker 1: you just feared slash respect, take the give me a team,

381
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:09,959
Speaker 1: give me a team Saints. Saints take the Saints offensive

382
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:16,600
Speaker 1: talent and put Mahomes, Watson Herbert with the Saints offensive talent.

383
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:19,480
Speaker 1: First of all, it's scary whichever way you slice it,

384
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:25,479
Speaker 1: but I'm more afraid in order of Mahomes, Watson, Herbert

385
00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:29,000
Speaker 1: if you give them all the same level of talent. Now,

386
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:32,960
Speaker 1: Deshawn's not gonna have the talent that Herbert does. That

387
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 1: he gets a throw too, and he's throwing him Mike

388
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:39,560
Speaker 1: Keenan Allen, Mike Williams, Austin Ackler out of backfield. That's

389
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:42,600
Speaker 1: what Herbert gets a throw too. DeShawn has is going

390
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:45,080
Speaker 1: to have the backfield of Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt.

391
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:48,159
Speaker 1: I don't know he's thrown to. I mean, you got

392
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:51,080
Speaker 1: Amari Cooper, but not sold on anybody else in the

393
00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:54,040
Speaker 1: receiving Cordeous yet that he's thrown too. But it's a

394
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:56,480
Speaker 1: good point. That's the scary part of the shan because

395
00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:58,640
Speaker 1: what do you remember about twenty twenty the last half

396
00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:00,399
Speaker 1: of the year, who's he thrown too? Had a lot

397
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:03,040
Speaker 1: of well known guys still thrown for four bills? He

398
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:06,320
Speaker 1: is he is, however, and this goes into my next point.

399
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:09,919
Speaker 1: Because look, Watson is great. We all know that. I

400
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:12,920
Speaker 1: will point out that the Texans were not a high

401
00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 1: scoring team while he was here, That's correct. I'm not

402
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:17,600
Speaker 1: gonna blame that all on him. That would be crazy, right.

403
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:22,440
Speaker 1: The O'Brien offense, Look, everybody who's operated it that we've

404
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:25,760
Speaker 1: seen has had difficulty operating it other than one man,

405
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:28,600
Speaker 1: and he happens to be the greatest quarterback of all time. Right,

406
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:33,760
Speaker 1: that guy operated it really well. Everybody else has kind

407
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:36,439
Speaker 1: of I hesitated to use the word struggle. The Texans

408
00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:38,679
Speaker 1: won a lot of games here with Watson running the

409
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:42,080
Speaker 1: O'Brien offense and in twenty twenty the Tim Kelly Slash

410
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:44,760
Speaker 1: O'Brien Patriot offense, whatever you want to call that system.

411
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:48,080
Speaker 1: But that year they got off to a lot of

412
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:51,440
Speaker 1: slow starts, right, There was a lot of backdooring your

413
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:53,640
Speaker 1: way back into the game. And sometimes, hey, you could

414
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:56,240
Speaker 1: would have should have won it, like the Colts turnovers

415
00:21:56,359 --> 00:22:00,720
Speaker 1: at the moment of truth, or you got very close

416
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:03,240
Speaker 1: and if you had to stop, maybe that would have

417
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:05,520
Speaker 1: made all the difference in the world. But how many

418
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:08,119
Speaker 1: times in that O'Brien era did we see slow starts

419
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:12,200
Speaker 1: not scoring in the first drive halftime. Deficits that kind

420
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:15,240
Speaker 1: of thing, and go look at the offensive numbers. The

421
00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:18,120
Speaker 1: Texans have not come close to the kind of offensive

422
00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:20,640
Speaker 1: proficiency they had in the Kubiak era. And I hate

423
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:23,000
Speaker 1: to say that because I wish we had here, but

424
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:26,160
Speaker 1: it hasn't happened. So I don't blame that all on Watson.

425
00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:28,800
Speaker 1: But at the same time, you can't say it's not

426
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:31,600
Speaker 1: a factor, because Watson has the talent to be number one,

427
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:35,399
Speaker 1: the talent to be number one on this list, and

428
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:37,960
Speaker 1: so I would say that I'm gonna rank him in

429
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:40,080
Speaker 1: my top five quarterbacks the Texans will face in twenty

430
00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:46,080
Speaker 1: twenty two Mahomes, Wilson, Herbert, and I'll put Watson forth. Now,

431
00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:49,320
Speaker 1: I just think that it's a show me thing. Like

432
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:51,320
Speaker 1: I said, he's got the talent to be first, and

433
00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:53,840
Speaker 1: by the time you face him, maybe everything's fine for him.

434
00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:57,000
Speaker 1: Maybe he hasn't sat that many games and he's going

435
00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:59,520
Speaker 1: gangbusters at that point. And look, we all know we

436
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:01,600
Speaker 1: can also win a game by himself if he has to.

437
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:05,640
Speaker 1: But at the same time, Johnny, look these guys are established.

438
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:09,320
Speaker 1: They've been playing, they haven't gotten suspended, they haven't sat

439
00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:12,040
Speaker 1: for a year, right, and I put them ahead of

440
00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 1: him because he's got to bang that rust off. He

441
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:19,600
Speaker 1: really does that, and I preface putting him at number

442
00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:23,000
Speaker 1: two with that. That is going to be a massive

443
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:26,119
Speaker 1: factor to whenever he's able to get back on the field,

444
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:30,600
Speaker 1: because it's gonna be a season plus, it could be

445
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:32,720
Speaker 1: almost two years since he's since he's taking a snap

446
00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:34,000
Speaker 1: by the time he gets on the field. So there's

447
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:37,720
Speaker 1: a rumor today about six games. So if that's six games,

448
00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:41,160
Speaker 1: you're talking middle of October. Yeah, last game he played

449
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:44,600
Speaker 1: was January of twenty twenty one, early of January twenty

450
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:48,360
Speaker 1: twenty one. It's a long time. You're talking twenty one

451
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:52,040
Speaker 1: months since playing football. So yeah, you save on the

452
00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:55,359
Speaker 1: body and it hits and all that, but you haven't played.

453
00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:59,720
Speaker 1: Imagine us not doing a radio segment for twenty one months.

454
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:01,840
Speaker 1: I'm telling you the first segment I would do, I

455
00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:05,760
Speaker 1: would sound like, bye, hey, let's do this, like it

456
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:08,119
Speaker 1: would be awful. So, yes, that is a that is

457
00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:13,720
Speaker 1: a massive factor. Four eyes have seen some things and

458
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:18,720
Speaker 1: seen on seeing what's happened on that field. And I

459
00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:21,879
Speaker 1: think about Philadelphia, and I think about New Orleans, and

460
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:27,160
Speaker 1: I think about New England and Seattle, all these places

461
00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:30,119
Speaker 1: where you know, going in maybe not have a shot,

462
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:34,760
Speaker 1: but we do have a shot because he's taking snaps

463
00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:37,320
Speaker 1: and so that. And you can say about Russell Wilson

464
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:39,080
Speaker 1: that you can say about Justin Herbert. I don't know

465
00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:41,040
Speaker 1: if you can see all the way there with Herbert

466
00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:44,440
Speaker 1: on that totally, but just God given talent and who

467
00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:47,800
Speaker 1: scares me the most because all you, I mean, all

468
00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:52,040
Speaker 1: you have to do is a safety is just hesitate

469
00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:54,360
Speaker 1: for a split second and Herbert's throwing at sixty five

470
00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:59,880
Speaker 1: over your head, Russelling gonna do that shot might home?

471
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:02,879
Speaker 1: Can I worry about that? I mean, if I'm a

472
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 1: safety sitting back there, going man, I'll tell you what,

473
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:08,600
Speaker 1: you take that dig, Take that twenty yard dig. Herbert.

474
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:10,640
Speaker 1: I'm not letting you get deep on me. And he's

475
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:13,159
Speaker 1: just gonna rifle out all day. He's gonna rifle it

476
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:14,720
Speaker 1: and rifle it and rifle it. And you just gotta

477
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:17,240
Speaker 1: hope that you rush for one hundred and ninety yards

478
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:19,000
Speaker 1: on the day again when you face it guy like

479
00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:21,399
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert, and you're gonna have to rush for one

480
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:24,080
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty years. So when you face to Shaw

481
00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:28,160
Speaker 1: Watson December. Interesting our top five lists quarterbacks of Texas

482
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:31,600
Speaker 1: will face this season. Nobody in the AFC South. Matt

483
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:34,240
Speaker 1: Ryan did not crack your top five, did not crack

484
00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:37,080
Speaker 1: my top five. Did you can even consider it? Yeah?

485
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:39,320
Speaker 1: I considered him fifth, I could, you know, I thought

486
00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:42,119
Speaker 1: about that. He's sixth, seventh. But yeah, we had the

487
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:45,800
Speaker 1: Car Prescott thing. I gave it two seconds because I

488
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:51,800
Speaker 1: had to think Ryan over Car. Yeah, exactly. And again

489
00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:54,440
Speaker 1: you go with the one that you fear the most, right,

490
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:57,440
Speaker 1: fear slash respect. All right. I hate using the word fear,

491
00:25:57,480 --> 00:25:59,720
Speaker 1: but it's almost in a technical it's a football fear

492
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:02,600
Speaker 1: as a football. That's different. It's a healthy fear. Okay,

493
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:06,080
Speaker 1: Next up, more likely to happen. We've got playoff talk,

494
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:09,040
Speaker 1: we have Mills coming up in the conversation, we have

495
00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:13,760
Speaker 1: Mayfield coming up in the conversation, and we have television series.

496
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:15,679
Speaker 1: It's all next not more likely to happen here on

497
00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:22,119
Speaker 1: Texans Radio. More Texans Radio is on the way. What

498

508
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:05,480
Speaker 1: have you listening, Johnny. You ready for more Likely to Happen?

509
00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:08,399
Speaker 1: Let's go, I've missed it. Let's go. Let's go more

510
00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:14,160
Speaker 1: likely to happen, more likely to falter from the QB

511
00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:17,440
Speaker 1: class of twenty one. We're gonna go the non Mills edition.

512
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:19,919
Speaker 1: And guess who else I'm removing from this? Guess what

513
00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:22,440
Speaker 1: quarterback I'm gonna remove from this? And I'm only going

514
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:25,080
Speaker 1: with three guys. You get to choose from most likely

515
00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:28,400
Speaker 1: to falter from the QB class of tent Your guy,

516
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:31,840
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence. No, I'm removing Justin Fields because I think

517
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:35,880
Speaker 1: that he would win so called win this thing hands down.

518
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:38,600
Speaker 1: I think he's the most likely to falter. Really, you're

519
00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:43,720
Speaker 1: gonna argue against this. Okay, I have Wilson, Lawrence and

520
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:48,480
Speaker 1: your boy Tray Lance were talking about Zach Wilson or no, yeah,

521
00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:53,359
Speaker 1: we can't. Well in what context Justin Fields I'll put

522
00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:55,320
Speaker 1: him in there if you want who's the most likely

523
00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:58,320
Speaker 1: among those four to falter see. I don't think it's Fields.

524
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:02,520
Speaker 1: I think Fields is gonna be in much better shape

525
00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:04,879
Speaker 1: because of the team. Though, yeah, the team is not

526
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:08,280
Speaker 1: gonna help. This is the situation important for a quarterback.

527
00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:12,040
Speaker 1: It is a sich important. It's it is important. However,

528
00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:15,200
Speaker 1: the new GM and a new head coach this year

529
00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:17,240
Speaker 1: for Justin, I want to say Justin the Fields gets

530
00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:20,719
Speaker 1: a pass. But in some sense he does. And I

531
00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:23,080
Speaker 1: think that's a good thing for him because in all honesty,

532
00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:27,800
Speaker 1: yeah there's pressure, but there really isn't because look at

533
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:30,920
Speaker 1: what's around him, Poles, Ryan Poles and GM and Mattie.

534
00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:34,320
Speaker 1: They've not had really a chance to build around him yet.

535
00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:36,879
Speaker 1: So I think he sort of gets a pass. I

536
00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:41,000
Speaker 1: think he doesn't fit in that category. I think he's

537
00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:45,000
Speaker 1: gonna show enough that he's not that guy. I think

538
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:47,440
Speaker 1: there's a lot around Zach Wilson, and I think Zach

539
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:51,160
Speaker 1: Wilson could be. I think Lawrence is the one guy

540
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:53,720
Speaker 1: I want to say because last year what I saw

541
00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:55,000
Speaker 1: and I know a lot of it. I know a

542
00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:57,920
Speaker 1: lot of it had to do with Urban Meyer. I understand,

543
00:28:57,960 --> 00:28:59,840
Speaker 1: I understand all that. I'm a total believer in Trey.

544
00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:03,600
Speaker 1: So he's out and I think Fields is gonna be fine.

545
00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:05,320
Speaker 1: You know the pieces around him, but I think he's

546
00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:08,840
Speaker 1: gonna show enough where the Bears are like, look, we

547
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:11,000
Speaker 1: went four and thirteen. We could have won a few

548
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:13,080
Speaker 1: more games if we had a few more players. But

549
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:16,000
Speaker 1: Fields has shown us he's that guy. So I think

550
00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:17,880
Speaker 1: Fields is gonna be fine. I think Trey Lance is

551
00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:19,880
Speaker 1: going to be more than fine. So it comes down

552
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:23,680
Speaker 1: to Zach Wilson Trevor Lawrence. I feel like both squads

553
00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:29,400
Speaker 1: bolstered each quarterback, putting some offensive weapons around Zach Wilson,

554
00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:33,480
Speaker 1: Lawrence getting some offensive weapons and getting Doug Peterson I

555
00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:37,120
Speaker 1: think is going to help. So in the end, I

556
00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:40,120
Speaker 1: think it's Zach Wilson. Yeah, because of coaching. I think

557
00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:41,920
Speaker 1: you just said it. I think that's a major party.

558
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:43,800
Speaker 1: As much as I love Baby to the Floor as

559
00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:46,080
Speaker 1: a person, I don't know Baby the Floor is gonna

560
00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:48,400
Speaker 1: pull it off well. I think also there's another there's

561
00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:51,240
Speaker 1: just a step in the quarterback evolution that I don't

562
00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:54,440
Speaker 1: know that Zach has made, and Dre pointed it out

563
00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:57,560
Speaker 1: as we were playing. There's a difference in having armed

564
00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:01,680
Speaker 1: strength your guy's arm strength, but when do you use it,

565
00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:03,640
Speaker 1: When do you break out the hunter a mile an

566
00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:09,479
Speaker 1: hour fastball you've got versus This needs to be a Changeach, right,

567
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:12,920
Speaker 1: It needs a little bit more kind of braining him

568
00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:18,320
Speaker 1: back in. I think Trevor, because Trevor is really good

569
00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:21,400
Speaker 1: with his legs, is going to become even more dangerous

570
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:23,200
Speaker 1: for a guy like Doug Peterson. I think they're gonna

571
00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:25,880
Speaker 1: do some things for him that will make him that

572
00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:28,720
Speaker 1: much more comfortable. I think they'll give him some RPOs

573
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:31,480
Speaker 1: like he was running at Clemson, not a ton, but

574
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:33,160
Speaker 1: just a couple of the easy ones he was running

575
00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:35,960
Speaker 1: at Clemson to kind of get him rolling. I think

576
00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:39,880
Speaker 1: it ends up being Zach Wilson with no commentary whatsoever

577
00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:43,000
Speaker 1: on what has popped up in social media lately. This

578
00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:45,560
Speaker 1: is just all about on the field, and I honestly

579
00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:48,720
Speaker 1: don't even think Zach Wilson will faulter all that badly.

580
00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:51,960
Speaker 1: But I just believe in Lanson fields that much. So

581
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:53,840
Speaker 1: it really comes down to the one guy you didn't

582
00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:56,880
Speaker 1: mention was Mac Jones. Now, when you talk about when

583
00:30:56,920 --> 00:30:59,720
Speaker 1: you talk about coaching and you talk about the things

584
00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:03,680
Speaker 1: around about him, have they bolstered the offensive personnel? Not really.

585
00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:06,600
Speaker 1: Have they changed the coaching for him, Oh, in a

586
00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:09,760
Speaker 1: big way? And have they rectified it? Oh? Not really so.

587
00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:12,440
Speaker 1: But I'll ask you one question. Does Bill Belichick still

588
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:14,840
Speaker 1: work there? Does? Yeah, it'll be fine, all right. He's

589
00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:18,960
Speaker 1: doing center snaps with Mac Jones, So yeah, that means

590
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:21,240
Speaker 1: he's gonna play center. All right. Next up, I'm more

591
00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:25,760
Speaker 1: likely to happen, more likely to happen, more likely to

592
00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:29,880
Speaker 1: miss the playoffs. We do this every so often. Two

593
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:34,160
Speaker 1: teams have made the playoffs last year, the Raiders the Steelers.

594
00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:37,520
Speaker 1: Oh Steelers because as we talked earlier about Derek Carr,

595
00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:41,360
Speaker 1: Raiders have Derek Carr. They have a way like in basketball,

596
00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:42,959
Speaker 1: what do you say, Hey, this guy can go get

597
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:47,880
Speaker 1: a bucket. With Derek Carr, the Raiders can go score touchdown,

598
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:51,120
Speaker 1: they can go score I'm not confident that the Steelers

599
00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:54,920
Speaker 1: can go do anything offensively. I don't feel good about

600
00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:58,240
Speaker 1: anything the Steelers have offensive just have a feeling about

601
00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:02,240
Speaker 1: them that they'll find a way to perhaps do something

602
00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:04,840
Speaker 1: similar to what they did last year without Rosalisberger. Okay,

603
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:09,320
Speaker 1: to eat their way in. They play the AFC East, Okay,

604
00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:12,160
Speaker 1: so you get the Jets, you get the Dolphins. They

605
00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:15,240
Speaker 1: can you could see the Steelers Dolphins. You can see

606
00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:17,640
Speaker 1: the Steelers beating the Patriots on a good night. And

607
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:21,640
Speaker 1: I don't even know where they're playing them. And I

608
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:25,040
Speaker 1: don't know Johnny Andre loves Trubisky, we all know, or

609
00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:29,080
Speaker 1: likes them, I should say loves he likes them. I'm

610
00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:32,000
Speaker 1: not sure about the rookie playing. But I just have

611
00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:35,479
Speaker 1: a feeling that that the Steelers could sneak in and

612
00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:38,880
Speaker 1: the Raiders play in the AFC West, which is tough,

613
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:41,920
Speaker 1: tough because you have Herbert there, you have Mahomes there.

614
00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:45,560
Speaker 1: It's difficult. The McDaniels thing, you could easily see it

615
00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:47,880
Speaker 1: not working as much as you could see it working.

616
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:50,320
Speaker 1: Could you see the Ravens beating the Steelers twice if

617
00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:53,960
Speaker 1: Lamar's healthy? Could you see the Browns beating the Steelers twice?

618
00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:57,360
Speaker 1: If well, depending on when the Shawn gets suspended and

619
00:32:57,640 --> 00:33:01,800
Speaker 1: Cleveland Cleveland, there's no way the brown Cincinnati. It's Cincinnati

620
00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:05,640
Speaker 1: beating Pittsburgh twice. Yeah, they So My point is the

621
00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:09,600
Speaker 1: AFC North is A is not easy either. Like I mean,

622
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:12,160
Speaker 1: all right, let's go with the most likely to miss

623
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:14,680
Speaker 1: the playoffs. That's the Steelers. I kind of set that

624
00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:17,400
Speaker 1: one up. I like the I like the fact you

625
00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:20,000
Speaker 1: argued against it. I really do, because look, Kenny Picket

626
00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:22,480
Speaker 1: might be all that, Kenny Pickets all that. I like

627
00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:26,160
Speaker 1: Deante Johnson and wide receiver. I think Chase Claypool can

628
00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:29,840
Speaker 1: be up and down, and Naji Harris is is more

629
00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:33,440
Speaker 1: than service. I like coach. I like Tomlin coaching. You know,

630
00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:36,360
Speaker 1: that's a big factor, and McDaniels has to prove it

631
00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:38,040
Speaker 1: to me. I know it went well for like the

632
00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:41,040
Speaker 1: first six games in Denver a hundred years ago. They

633
00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:43,520
Speaker 1: can go get a bucket. They can go get a bucket,

634
00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:46,840
Speaker 1: and they've got two superb edge rushers and that's gonna

635
00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:49,200
Speaker 1: that's gonna help them. Now. I don't defense top the

636
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:51,920
Speaker 1: bottom though. The Raiders worries me. But I'm gonna say

637
00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:55,040
Speaker 1: the Steelers are that team that takes a step. All right,

638
00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:56,840
Speaker 1: this is a weird one. I'm more likely to happen

639
00:33:57,520 --> 00:34:02,000
Speaker 1: more likely to happen more likely to make the playoffs

640
00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:08,160
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield or Jimmy Garoppolo. We don't know where Garoppolo

641
00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:09,880
Speaker 1: is gonna be playing, and we don't even know that

642
00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:14,600
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield las last. It's a competition, they say, yeah,

643
00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:16,799
Speaker 1: I mean, it's a competition. You don't even know if

644
00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:19,520
Speaker 1: he's gonna start, And maybe Baker gets bounced. I mean,

645
00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:21,160
Speaker 1: who knows. I should have made it more likely to

646
00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:28,879
Speaker 1: start a playoff game. Oh man, the wild card. It's

647
00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:30,919
Speaker 1: so funny because both of them, there's a wild card

648
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:36,160
Speaker 1: one that I'm okay with. I guess with baker's just

649
00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:39,520
Speaker 1: Baker himself. It's just his his attitude and his approach

650
00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:42,240
Speaker 1: and the things that you heard were happening in Cleveland,

651
00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:45,640
Speaker 1: Whereas with Jimmy Garoppolo, none of that's ever an issue.

652
00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:48,839
Speaker 1: It's just is he healthy enough? Is he healthy enough?

653
00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:51,520
Speaker 1: And I mean, I think that's until we know that,

654
00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:54,080
Speaker 1: we kind of have to roll with Baker because we

655
00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:57,080
Speaker 1: just don't know how healthy that wing is gonna be.

656
00:34:57,840 --> 00:34:59,680
Speaker 1: And if we don't know that, is he even gonna

657
00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:03,960
Speaker 1: get on field? Right? And so at that point you

658
00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:06,719
Speaker 1: gotta say, Baker and let's go one step further with that,

659
00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:09,000
Speaker 1: and that's the fact that, Look, man, the NFC South

660
00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:13,560
Speaker 1: is not all that. I mean, you got Marcus Mariota

661
00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:15,560
Speaker 1: and desmon Ridder in Atlanta, right, I don't think they're

662
00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:17,120
Speaker 1: gonna be very good. The Saints are gonna roll with

663
00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:20,400
Speaker 1: Jameis Winston and Dennis Allen's a new head coach. Well

664
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:23,719
Speaker 1: he's it's his second stint as a head coach, but

665
00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:26,279
Speaker 1: he's new to New Orleans in that role. Uh. And

666
00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:28,640
Speaker 1: then you got Carolina. Then you got Tampa Bay. I

667
00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:31,160
Speaker 1: mean Tampa Bay gets Brady back. If Brady had been gone,

668
00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:33,040
Speaker 1: oh my god, that's a free for all. Now you

669
00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:34,600
Speaker 1: have a feeling the Bucks are gonna win it, but

670
00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:37,040
Speaker 1: you gotta feel like, man, you gotta shot against Atlanta,

671
00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:39,520
Speaker 1: you got a shot against New Orleans. And then that division.

672
00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:42,879
Speaker 1: It's always kind of weird things that happened. So I look,

673
00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:47,000
Speaker 1: if Baker just runs the game plan, he's got a

674
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:50,640
Speaker 1: few weapons around him, use them. It's the best thing

675
00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:54,120
Speaker 1: going for the Bucks. Is that division? Yes, yes, because

676
00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:58,439
Speaker 1: there's no guarantee. I mean, Brady comes back. Everyone always assumes, wow,

677
00:35:58,520 --> 00:36:01,719
Speaker 1: Brady's back in the playoffs. There's no guarantee of this.

678
00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:05,319
Speaker 1: How can that be? They have a coaching change. They

679
00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:07,399
Speaker 1: did not look good down the stretch of last year,

680
00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:12,399
Speaker 1: and in the playoffs they did not. Almost miraculously pulled

681
00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:14,719
Speaker 1: it out against the Ramps. I was actually rooting for them,

682
00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:17,040
Speaker 1: which is weird. All right, I've got one more for you.

683
00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:19,680
Speaker 1: This is kind of a weird one more likely to happen,

684
00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:21,920
Speaker 1: you know what. I'm not even gonna go more like that.

685
00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:25,560
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say right here, better TV show, Better Call

686
00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:30,080
Speaker 1: Saul or Stranger Things. Oh, you're hitting me right in

687
00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:35,080
Speaker 1: the heart. Pick it and not Kenny, pick one, pick

688
00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:38,840
Speaker 1: the better TV show, Better Call Saul or Stranger Things.

689
00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:43,279
Speaker 1: Art is so esoteric, it's so subjective. There's nothing that

690
00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:46,319
Speaker 1: makes me say this, but I'm gonna go Saul. Vince

691
00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:48,279
Speaker 1: Gilligan has been I mean, the Duffer Brothers did a

692
00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:51,400
Speaker 1: great job of Stranger Things. But Vince Gilligan's a genius,

693
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:54,919
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna I'm gonna, I'm gonna go. I'm gonna

694
00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:59,080
Speaker 1: go with Vince Gilligan. A better call Saul. Because the

695
00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:02,160
Speaker 1: the Extra Terrestrial Close Encounters, the third kind of kind

696
00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:05,279
Speaker 1: of stuff doesn't always grab me. But man, the way

697
00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:08,040
Speaker 1: they put that thing. Oh, it's it's a tough one.

698
00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:11,040
Speaker 1: I think I'm going with Saul and it's just it's

699
00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:13,799
Speaker 1: killing me to say it, but I think it's better too.

700
00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:16,319
Speaker 1: I do a stranger things. It's great. You gotta finish

701
00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:20,960
Speaker 1: up episode once, so we talk about it four, episode six, seven, whatever.

00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:27,640
Speaker 1: fat of Aaron John Harris with you. All right? What

720
00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:30,840
Speaker 1: did CBS Sports tweet out today about edge rushers for

721
00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:34,560
Speaker 1: second or third tier? What was the question? So NFL

722
00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:37,560
Speaker 1: and CBS does this from time to time, and they'll

723
00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:40,080
Speaker 1: just put this out there and they said, who do

724
00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:43,279
Speaker 1: you want rushing the passer? It's third and long and

725
00:38:43,320 --> 00:38:45,640
Speaker 1: you need a sack off the edge? Who would you

726
00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:47,759
Speaker 1: choose from this list? Now? Without seeing the list, you

727
00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:49,879
Speaker 1: would go, oh, I want Watt or I want Aaron

728
00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:54,600
Speaker 1: Donald or Reggie White, right, but this is the B

729
00:38:54,719 --> 00:38:56,840
Speaker 1: sides you would call it. Yeah, So here are the

730
00:38:56,880 --> 00:39:02,200
Speaker 1: sixteen names. Cameron wake Styles, g White, Sean Alis, Elvis Dumerville,

731
00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:07,000
Speaker 1: Tom Balie, Braner, Rakbo Cliff Avril, Kyle Van Deenbosch, Darius Smith,

732
00:39:07,040 --> 00:39:11,760
Speaker 1: Carlos Dunlop, Michael Bennett, Chris Long, Ryan Kerrigan, Joey Porter,

733
00:39:11,880 --> 00:39:14,920
Speaker 1: Trent Cole, Olivier, Vernet. And you hear those names and

734
00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:18,280
Speaker 1: you're like, oh, okay, like every guy you could see,

735
00:39:18,440 --> 00:39:23,080
Speaker 1: all right, but not where you're going that's the guy exactly. Now,

736
00:39:23,120 --> 00:39:25,000
Speaker 1: there are a couple of guys I'm like, no, wait,

737
00:39:25,080 --> 00:39:27,279
Speaker 1: was Vandenbosch one of those guys? Bannon Bosch was in

738
00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:29,200
Speaker 1: this mix. I mean for a couple of years, he

739
00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:32,720
Speaker 1: was phenomenal. Yeah, Now, no offense, the styles, G White,

740
00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:36,160
Speaker 1: ak Greg White. He only had twenty four Sackson's career. Okay, this,

741
00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:38,600
Speaker 1: but when you brought this up prior to the show,

742
00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:41,279
Speaker 1: I thought you naturally I was going to address this

743
00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:44,080
Speaker 1: because he did have a cup of coffee with the

744
00:39:44,080 --> 00:39:48,560
Speaker 1: Texans inaugural season. Greg White was his name then, right,

745
00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:51,680
Speaker 1: and Greg White in a preseason game against the New

746
00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:54,000
Speaker 1: Orleans Saints, which the Texans won. It was their first

747
00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:56,360
Speaker 1: victory of any kind. It was week two of the preseason.

748
00:39:56,400 --> 00:39:59,040
Speaker 1: They beat the Saints thirteen to ten at the Superdome.

749
00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:02,440
Speaker 1: He had four sacks in that game, and Vic Fangio,

750
00:40:02,440 --> 00:40:05,000
Speaker 1: I'll never forget this with the media, was like, tap

751
00:40:05,080 --> 00:40:09,880
Speaker 1: the brakes on the four sacks in a preseason game, everybody,

752
00:40:10,120 --> 00:40:12,600
Speaker 1: because everyone got really excited about it. Right, White with

753
00:40:12,640 --> 00:40:14,439
Speaker 1: four sacks because you didn't know who was gonna blow

754
00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:16,880
Speaker 1: up for this team, right right, you were hoping somebody

755
00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:20,080
Speaker 1: would and hey, we just had a guy rack up

756
00:40:20,080 --> 00:40:22,920
Speaker 1: four sacks in a preseason game. It's got to be something, right,

757
00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:25,279
Speaker 1: He's like tapped the brakes. But he did go on

758
00:40:25,520 --> 00:40:28,600
Speaker 1: to play for about one hundred other teams, and in Tampa.

759
00:40:28,640 --> 00:40:30,360
Speaker 1: I think that was as long as stay. Yeah, that

760
00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:34,080
Speaker 1: was the Tampa was where he ended up doing some business.

761
00:40:34,120 --> 00:40:37,759
Speaker 1: But two twenty four career sacks. When you look at

762
00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:39,320
Speaker 1: the rest of the guys that are on this list,

763
00:40:39,360 --> 00:40:43,840
Speaker 1: I mean, you could have put Jason Babbett on the list. Yeah, better,

764
00:40:44,239 --> 00:40:48,480
Speaker 1: but eventually he eventually did some things with the I'm

765
00:40:48,480 --> 00:40:50,479
Speaker 1: not joking you could have You could have taken style

766
00:40:50,520 --> 00:40:52,400
Speaker 1: as White and put Jason Babott on there, and I

767
00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:56,240
Speaker 1: think he fits that entire category. I would take Michael Bennett.

768
00:40:56,480 --> 00:40:58,720
Speaker 1: Speaking of the city of Houston, I would take Michael Bennett.

769
00:40:58,920 --> 00:41:01,799
Speaker 1: Bennett was a guy that when he was when he

770
00:41:01,880 --> 00:41:04,520
Speaker 1: was dialed in, and I think about that Super Bowl

771
00:41:04,560 --> 00:41:08,440
Speaker 1: against Brady, the Malcolm Butler Super Bowl. They could block him.

772
00:41:09,040 --> 00:41:11,200
Speaker 1: They were coming back to the sideline and Patriots a

773
00:41:11,280 --> 00:41:13,759
Speaker 1: line coaches like seventy two seventy two is killing a

774
00:41:13,840 --> 00:41:16,799
Speaker 1: seventy two seventy two. I feel like Michael Bennett could

775
00:41:16,800 --> 00:41:19,040
Speaker 1: have gotten a sack from pretty much anywhere up and

776
00:41:19,080 --> 00:41:21,400
Speaker 1: down the line. I would I would have gone Michael Bennett.

777
00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:23,240
Speaker 1: The next one might have been Kerrigan. I thought Kerrigan

778
00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:26,520
Speaker 1: was really good in his career. I was gonna say karagain.

779
00:41:26,680 --> 00:41:30,000
Speaker 1: I like Cameron Wake two. Yeah. I like the CFL story.

780
00:41:30,080 --> 00:41:32,040
Speaker 1: That's a great sty. You know, when I watched CFL football,

781
00:41:32,040 --> 00:41:34,000
Speaker 1: I'm thinking, why don't more of these guys make it

782
00:41:34,040 --> 00:41:37,360
Speaker 1: to the NFL? You know, the CFL. It's interesting because

783
00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:40,439
Speaker 1: I was watching a game recently and I thought, why

784
00:41:40,560 --> 00:41:42,880
Speaker 1: is this so much better than the USFL? To me?

785
00:41:43,440 --> 00:41:46,040
Speaker 1: Even though the USFL is more American football, And I

786
00:41:46,120 --> 00:41:49,080
Speaker 1: gotta say, the talent level, it's got to be somewhat similar, right,

787
00:41:49,239 --> 00:41:53,320
Speaker 1: It's close. Yeah, yeah, but there's something established about the CFL.

788
00:41:53,400 --> 00:41:56,880
Speaker 1: They're bill tradition north of the border, especially in June

789
00:41:56,920 --> 00:41:59,400
Speaker 1: and July. When you have nothing, will you have the USFL? Now?

790
00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:01,320
Speaker 1: But you know what saying, I know you have nothing

791
00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:04,080
Speaker 1: in you and Andre and I are texting back and

792
00:42:04,160 --> 00:42:10,479
Speaker 1: forth during a CFL game. Tiger cancerre on baby Elvis

793
00:42:10,560 --> 00:42:12,160
Speaker 1: Dumerville would have been a guy that I think would

794
00:42:12,160 --> 00:42:13,960
Speaker 1: go get a sack. Yeah. You know, when I think

795
00:42:13,960 --> 00:42:15,480
Speaker 1: about it, go get a bucket. That would have been

796
00:42:15,480 --> 00:42:17,160
Speaker 1: that guy. I mean there's I mean a lot of

797
00:42:17,160 --> 00:42:18,839
Speaker 1: these guys who then go, yeah, yeah, I can see

798
00:42:18,840 --> 00:42:21,239
Speaker 1: that guy in that, but I think consistently, I mean,

799
00:42:21,320 --> 00:42:23,040
Speaker 1: Michael Bennett would have been a guy that would put

800
00:42:23,320 --> 00:42:27,719
Speaker 1: pressure from anywhere up and down the edge. Inside. He

801
00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:31,640
Speaker 1: was just he was phenomenal, phenomenal. One more note. We're

802
00:42:31,640 --> 00:42:33,439
Speaker 1: gonna end the show kind of the way we began

803
00:42:33,480 --> 00:42:36,080
Speaker 1: it with the battle red helmet. Ye, and you brought

804
00:42:36,160 --> 00:42:38,960
Speaker 1: up the Patriots, and I like to remind people of this.

805
00:42:39,120 --> 00:42:41,560
Speaker 1: Everybody who loves Patriot pat and that logo on the

806
00:42:41,560 --> 00:42:44,319
Speaker 1: side of the helmet. It I happen to live in

807
00:42:44,360 --> 00:42:48,080
Speaker 1: New England. When they use those uniforms, Yes, people couldn't

808
00:42:48,160 --> 00:42:51,600
Speaker 1: stand them. They hated Oh yeah, they were dying for

809
00:42:51,640 --> 00:42:56,920
Speaker 1: a change. They wanted something modern. That guy squatting this

810
00:42:56,960 --> 00:43:00,400
Speaker 1: looks ridiculous. What are we doing? Will never win? And

811
00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:03,239
Speaker 1: that was their attitude, We'll never win with uniforms like this.

812
00:43:03,480 --> 00:43:06,640
Speaker 1: And now, oh we love these uniforms. It's just funny

813
00:43:06,680 --> 00:43:10,000
Speaker 1: how things come full circle right totally and old styles

814
00:43:10,040 --> 00:43:14,960
Speaker 1: come back in Not everything should leisure suits. Not everything should,

815
00:43:15,960 --> 00:43:20,359
Speaker 1: but certain things do. Yeah. I it's funny because I've

816
00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:24,680
Speaker 1: always been there's never been really Jerseys where I go. Oh,

817
00:43:24,719 --> 00:43:27,440
Speaker 1: I hate that. I hate that, But you're so right.

818
00:43:27,480 --> 00:43:30,759
Speaker 1: When I remember going to college up there and it

819
00:43:30,840 --> 00:43:35,320
Speaker 1: was Bruins, Celtics, Red Sox, and then about forty miles

820
00:43:35,320 --> 00:43:37,879
Speaker 1: of muck and then the Patriots, and I remember saying

821
00:43:37,960 --> 00:43:40,759
Speaker 1: to my extral friend at the time, do you go

822
00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:43,160

823
00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:46,000
Speaker 1: was essentially the anti guy was I like, why would
