11
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:31,320

Speaker 1: same because the Super Bowl. I watched it in a

16
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 1: very you know, I watched it as an entertainment commodity,

17
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:46,040
Speaker 1: but I also watched it in a worklike way to

18
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:48,680
Speaker 1: see how they handle it. And obviously we've played the

19
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:52,479
Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs and everything. This weekend was a free weekend.

20
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 1: It's done. It was just weird and I don't feel

21
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 1: I feel like wait, a minute, I'm getting away with

22
00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:00,120
Speaker 1: something with two days off in a row. Something's I'm

23
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:04,039
Speaker 1: playing hookey. There's something not right with the universe. Anyway.

24
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:06,080
Speaker 1: It's a long off season, but a lot of exciting

25
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:08,400
Speaker 1: stuff will happen, and it is already starting to happen

26
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 1: around the league, and I know it's going to affect

27
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:12,040
Speaker 1: the Texans in some way, shape or form. Yeah, we're

28
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 1: gonna get into a second, but yeah, I was kind

29
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:18,479
Speaker 1: of the same way I actually planned. It was funny.

30
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 1: I heard my wife on the phone. She was talking

31
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 1: to somebody on Thursday, and I just hear say, yeah, well,

32
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:28,960
Speaker 1: you know, John is taking me down to Dalliston because

33
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 1: you know, from like July through February, we just can't

34
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 1: do anything because it's football season. I was like, yeah,

35
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 1: that's it. That's about right. Does she accept this or

36
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 1: does she grudgingly, okayrudgingly what she needs to talk to

37
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:44,679
Speaker 1: Missus van Gundi. Did I ever tell you about my

38
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 1: wife's conversation with Jeff van Gundi's wife, No, Missus van Gundi,

39
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 1: she said, Missus van Gundi gave my wife the best

40
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 1: advice ever, which is, during the season, don't even think

41
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 1: about him. Yeah, don't, don't, don't, don't mess with it.

42
00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 1: He won't be there for anything. If he is, it's

43
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 1: a bonus. Assume everything's off and he's always going to

44
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 1: be doing something with the sport. And she said, oh,

45
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 1: it kind of opened her eyes to that. So but

46
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 1: then when the sport is over, Yeah, as Bill and

47
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:12,959
Speaker 1: Bryan likes to say, it's re entry time. A honey

48
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:16,680
Speaker 1: do list the size of the Magna carta. And it's

49
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 1: still not really accepted during the season. Believe me, it's

50
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:21,360
Speaker 1: still kind of a challenge. So we went down, we

51
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:24,520
Speaker 1: went down to Galveson, like way west of Galveston. Well,

52
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 1: we like, there's a place way west that we like

53
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 1: because it's away from all the hustle and bustle. And

54
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:30,960
Speaker 1: we just had a we had a good weekend, so

55
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 1: it was it was good to get away. And of

56
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:34,360
Speaker 1: course on the way home, I look over and I

57
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:37,640
Speaker 1: could just see this like no smile on a face.

58
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 1: I'm like, what's wrong? Because I don't want to leave.

59
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 1: It's hard to lead the beach, man, It is hard

60
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 1: to leave the beach. It's really die down there, and

61
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 1: they've you know, really done a lot of work to

62
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 1: it since, like, yeah, very much. So I'm very much

63
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:55,079
Speaker 1: impressed with the people, the Bois and the is an

64
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 1: IBC Islanders by choice, and the Bois, the born on

65
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 1: the island. Yeah, the porn on the people there there,

66
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 1: it's it. I well, we've got a different beating. We've

67
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 1: gone to beaches all over the place because my wife

68
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:08,399
Speaker 1: and I love going to the beach and you run

69
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:11,959
Speaker 1: into the Bois like born on Yeah, they are there,

70
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 1: And I always wonder what that life must have been like,

71
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 1: like flip flops every day growing up? Yeah, just every

72
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 1: day growing up living. That's all you do, is you live.

73
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 1: I don't know. Yeah, well, I mean it's not like

74
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 1: you're out in the tropics. If you do, you are

75
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 1: part of society. You are. That's true. That downtown area though,

76
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:31,960
Speaker 1: I just I love it. It's gotten different feel to it.

77
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 1: We uh, we we went downtown. It's funny because we've

78
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 1: we've always we go down there. We just hit the

79
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 1: sea wall at sixty first and just go right. We

80
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 1: just go westown, so we don't really go downtown. And

81
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 1: so my sister in law was actually in town. She

82
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 1: had a conference over in Nassa, and so she's like, well,

83
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 1: Meta's over on the strand. We're like, all right, So

84
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 1: we met over the strand and we're like, this is cool,

85
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 1: Like we had a real school. It was really really

86
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 1: a lot of nooks and crannies. They're a lot of

87
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 1: fun and uh and the sports history, you know, Galveston ball.

88
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 1: It's funny because we were talking. We're down there for

89
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 1: a management retreat last week and we were talking to

90
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 1: a boi and he said he was just mentioning Barry White.

91
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 1: I said, look, I'm all about Barry White and Galveston

92
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 1: and all that, but you know, I'm talking about Mike

93
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 1: Evans and I'm talking about Casey Hampton and people like that.

94
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 1: So that's pretty cool. Yeah, it's very cool. Okay, So

95
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 1: Bill Barnwell of ESPN, it's a really neat thing that

96
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 1: he's put together, and with his ESPN people, it's very

97
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 1: very cool. So what he has put together, if you

98
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 1: get a chance going to follow him, he has highlighted one, two, three, four, five, six, seven,

99
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:45,359
Speaker 1: eight is Rivers eight. So he's got eight players that

100
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 1: are names that everybody knows, right, And so what he's

101
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 1: done is he's kind of made this like rolling, rolling

102
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:53,720
Speaker 1: thing where if you roll on the guy, all of

103
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 1: a sudden you see him in a different jersey than

104
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 1: you're used to seeing. So he's got Cam Newton and

105
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,480
Speaker 1: then oh no, he's got him in a Dolphins jersey.

106
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 1: Good and I'm like whoa. But then down below he

107
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:08,920
Speaker 1: has three different options, so you can have it on

108
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 1: Cam Newton and then you can click one of the

109
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:14,600
Speaker 1: three options and he changes jersey. It's really cool. So

110
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 1: each guy has three different options that Bill is actually presenting.

111
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 1: So this is all about presentation, but it's basically three

112
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:25,480
Speaker 1: different options for these players and it's the needest thing.

113
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 1: So he went through and he's got these eight players.

114
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 1: So I was rolling through and didn't expect much out

115
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:38,360
Speaker 1: of there from the Texans, etc. And then he put

116
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 1: Chris Harris Junior on there. So here are the three

117
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:46,719
Speaker 1: options that he has determined for Chris Harris Jr. Thirty

118
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 1: one year old cornerback with the Dever Broncos. Been with

119
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:54,280
Speaker 1: the Broncos' entire career. Was undrafted free agent out of

120
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:57,720
Speaker 1: Kansas and a really good Kansas career, didn't run exceptionally

121
00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:01,159
Speaker 1: well to combine, didn't get drafted, went to Denver, has

122
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 1: been unbelievable in Denver has been fantastic. So here are

123
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:08,280
Speaker 1: the three options that Barnewell presents. You tell me if

124
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:12,039
Speaker 1: these one of them being a Texans option. So let's

125
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 1: see how it fairs. Number one. His first option is

126
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chiefs signed Chris Harris Junior to a

127
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 1: four year, forty eight million dollars deal. I don't know

128
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 1: where they're gonna find the money. I'm sure they have it,

129
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 1: but well they if they signed them a homes deal

130
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:30,719
Speaker 1: like how I mean they've got and they've got other

131
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 1: big contracts. I mean, Tyrn Matthews not cheap for them,

132
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 1: by the way, right, it's a fourteen million a year

133
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 1: or something like that. Yeah, on average, he's fourteen million years. Now,

134
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 1: congratulations have won the super Bowl. But now you gotta

135
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:43,599
Speaker 1: move forward. You gotta pay the credit card. Talk to

136
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 1: the Rams. How that's going. They didn't win the super Bowl,

137
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:47,280
Speaker 1: but they were in it and now they're really suffering.

138
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 1: Cap one. I want to get to that one too. Okay,

139
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:51,839
Speaker 1: that's because that's an interesting one. And then his second

140
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 1: option is Jets signing a four year, sixty two million

141
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:01,159
Speaker 1: dollars deal with the Jets. The Jets obviously could use it. Yeah,

142
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:04,360
Speaker 1: third option him with Jamal Adams in that secondary the

143
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 1: funny thing, all right, go go to the third third option.

144
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 1: The Texans signed Chris Harris Junior to a four year,

145
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 1: fifty six million dollars deal. Now here's what he said.

146
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 1: A year ago. The Texans signed form Brockers corner Bradley

147
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 1: Roby to a one year deal to try to show

148
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 1: up a thin quarterback group. Now they'll make a more

149
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 1: substantial deal with Harris, who will start alongside Lonnie Johnson

150
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 1: Garyan Colley at twenty twenty. This contract should have would

151
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 1: have two fully guaranteed seasons. Yeah, it's a thirty one

152
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 1: year old corner, right, four years, fifty six million dollars

153
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 1: with two years. What is your gut reaction to that?

154
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 1: All right? So that's Bill Barnwell saying that. Yeah, I

155
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 1: think you know. It's gonna be interesting, obviously to see

156
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 1: how Bill O'Brien handles a full offseason, a free agency

157
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 1: with his hand on the trigger. And they do have

158
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 1: some money, but they have some big contracts they obviously

159
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 1: want to take care of. And there's not a ton leftover,

160
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 1: but there's money leftover. Uh I know, I'm not answering

161
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 1: the question here. The funny thing is, I'm thinking, I

162
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:05,360
Speaker 1: don't know if you want to go for a thirty

163
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 1: one year old, no matter who it is. And then

164
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 1: I'm thinking, but I don't want to go in to

165
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 1: the chiefs whatever. But I don't want to go in

166
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 1: to the chiefs. So what is that feeling I have

167
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:17,720
Speaker 1: about not wanting to see him in Kansas City? Like

168
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 1: I'm not sure he's gonna be a bust from here

169
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 1: on out. It's Chris Harris, right, you know, So you're thinking, well,

170
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 1: is it worth it to go for the two years guaranteed?

171
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 1: That's that's a tough decision. I'm not saying coin flip decision,

172
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 1: but that's a tough decision. I don't want to either.

173
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 1: I don't want to even call it a luxury decision

174
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 1: because I think that it does come into play how

175
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 1: you deal with Laramie Tunsel and or de Sean with

176
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:42,960
Speaker 1: their big deals. And then you have to see what

177
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 1: do I have left in the cookie jar to sign

178
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 1: somebody like this? And I don't know how they feel

179
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:51,200
Speaker 1: about it. Do they feel like if we improve the

180
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:54,320
Speaker 1: pass rush, certainly they're gonna add to the secondary. We

181
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 1: know this, but do we have to add at that

182
00:08:56,679 --> 00:09:00,160
Speaker 1: top flight Rolls Royce free agent level or do we

183
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:04,560
Speaker 1: go with a little more conservative approach in free agency

184
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:08,320
Speaker 1: with the cornerback position or draft and take it from there.

185
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:11,200
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, they It's funny because Johnny,

186
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:13,439
Speaker 1: when you look at what happened against the Chiefs, you think,

187
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 1: are they ever gonna be able to stop anybody again?

188
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 1: You know, the feeling the recency element comes into play

189
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 1: when you're evaluating these things. And then you look at Cheese.

190
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 1: They did well against Tom Brady, and they did well

191
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 1: against Rivers, and they did well against a lot of

192
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:29,600
Speaker 1: these quarterbacks. So they actually did fairly well against Mahomes

193
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 1: the first time they intercepted Winston four times. I know

194
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 1: Winston does get picked off, but he was pretty hot

195
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 1: going into that game and they derailed him. So they

196
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 1: did have some moments with the guys they had in

197
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:45,680
Speaker 1: the secondary. So I guess my answer is maybe with

198
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 1: Chris Harris Junior at that price tech. But remember this,

199
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 1: I don't know what he wants, but the highest bidder

200
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:54,480
Speaker 1: tends to win these things. I think for him, he's

201
00:09:54,520 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 1: got a ring. He's thirty one. It's probably the last one, right,

202
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:04,199
Speaker 1: So how important is that to him? If I were him,

203
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 1: I'm going for every dollar I can find. I think

204
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:09,199
Speaker 1: he is gonna try and find every dollar he can

205
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 1: find at the team that has an opportunity to win. Okay,

206
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 1: So he's not gonna go, well the Jets. The Jets

207
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 1: don't make money, seemingly do not have an opportunity to win.

208
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:21,079
Speaker 1: Now if that's the only option he has, okay, Well, yeah, sure,

209
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:22,680
Speaker 1: I mean levi on Bell went there. But how many

210
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 1: opportunities did he a? Right? Exactly exactly? So I don't

211
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:30,120
Speaker 1: know how I feel about that deal. I'd much rather

212
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 1: look at other opportunities. In fact, I would look at

213
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:38,080
Speaker 1: Byron Jones, okay of Dallas throwing that same money and

214
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 1: see if he took it. I would I would look

215
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 1: at more Byron. I mean he's a he's a younger

216
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 1: guy by five six years. Did you see the right

217
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 1: up on Namdi this weekend? And you know Namdi the

218
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:52,920
Speaker 1: actor and no Nambie the actor. Yeah, Nambie the actor.

219
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 1: I'll pull it up for you. But but the point

220
00:10:55,240 --> 00:11:00,560
Speaker 1: is this, it revisited that whole free agent blitz of

221
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:02,200
Speaker 1: it because he had the lockout, he had like a

222
00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 1: two day frenzy. I mean it was that was nuts.

223
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:07,440
Speaker 1: It was really good. That was it was really good.

224
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:10,160
Speaker 1: It was was really it was nuts. But you're right,

225
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:11,960
Speaker 1: it was really cool to do it all in a

226
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:15,160
Speaker 1: couple of days. Like this is awesome now I know.

227
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 1: And having talked to players and we talked to JJO

228
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:21,439
Speaker 1: about this, right, how nervous are you getting You're a

229
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:24,680
Speaker 1: free agent? Like, how nervous are you getting right about now?

230
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:28,480
Speaker 1: Like make a deal already? Yeah, do something? Um okay.

231
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:30,719
Speaker 1: So that was Chris Harris Jr. Now the Texans are

232
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:34,319
Speaker 1: mentioned with one other player on this group of eight.

233
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 1: The ocho is Well I would call it, and it's

234
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:44,200
Speaker 1: a running back. Can I interest you in a Melvin Gordon?

235
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:49,400
Speaker 1: Barnwell says, and I I look at this and I'm like,

236
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:53,679
Speaker 1: I don't think there is a chance in haities of

237
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:56,920
Speaker 1: this happening. But he says he's got three options from

238
00:11:56,920 --> 00:12:01,199
Speaker 1: Melvin Gordon. Number one is the Bucks sign a four year,

239
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 1: thirty six million dollars deal with the Bucks. Then he's

240
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:07,520
Speaker 1: got the Redskins, which I don't see the Redskins doing it.

241
00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 1: They got Darius geiss I don't. I mean, but guys

242
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:12,960
Speaker 1: size trouble staying help. It's got to be a team

243
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 1: that wants to win now or very soon. He's twenty

244
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:19,880
Speaker 1: six years old, he says, Gordon held out for a

245
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:22,200
Speaker 1: new contract. They didn't get it. Now he's a free agent. Well,

246
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 1: a team pony up to pay the twenty six year

247
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:26,560
Speaker 1: old running back. So he said twenty six years old

248
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 1: with meaning? Is that meaning like he's still got some Yeah,

249
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:33,079
Speaker 1: he's a young man. And then the Texans is the

250
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:37,880
Speaker 1: third option. How would this taste? What is this? The

251
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 1: Texans sign Melvin Gordon to a five year, fifty million dollars. No,

252
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 1: it's not happening. I don't think it's happen. He's not

253
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 1: paying that money for a running back. You know, he's

254
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:50,440
Speaker 1: not going to do that. I don't think us now

255
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 1: Gordon at the top of his game is great. Maybe

256
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:56,560
Speaker 1: get right back to the top of his game. You know,

257
00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 1: holdouts and things like that, they're just so bad for everybody,

258
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 1: especially running backs. I think, Oh, by the way, quick

259
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:06,599
Speaker 1: cleaning something up here. Namdi limited run play on Broadway.

260
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:10,840
Speaker 1: It's called a Soldier's Play and it closes on March fifteenth,

261
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:13,440
Speaker 1: So it was I guess designed to be a limited

262
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 1: run play. David alec Grier him, isn't it? Who's also in? Um?

263
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:19,640
Speaker 1: You know? I know him best for Boomerang? Yeah, of

264
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:23,440
Speaker 1: course Boomerang. Everybody, everybody for Boomerang. Yes, John Winerspoon. They

265
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 1: showed John Winerspoon. Oh and the on the montage. That's

266
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:29,960
Speaker 1: my favorite part of the Oscars, The dead people. You know,

267
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 1: I love the dead People's segment. I love the Dead

268
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:34,560
Speaker 1: People's segment at the Grammys, the Emmys and the Oscars.

269
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:36,920
Speaker 1: They forgot somebody though, who they forgot last night. They

270
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:41,319
Speaker 1: forgot Luke Perry, Dylan from all. They forgot Luke pays

271
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 1: in a movie called Eight Seconds of This Bull Riding.

272
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:45,720
Speaker 1: He's in a few other movies, and he was just

273
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:47,480
Speaker 1: in a Hallmark movie. My wife was watching the other

274
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:49,280
Speaker 1: day and I got really sat walked in. It was like,

275
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 1: that's Luke Perry. Yeah past the sps do it two

276
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 1: now really well? And I just love the dead People's segment.

277
00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:59,720
Speaker 1: They should just call it the dead people. I mean,

278
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:03,360
Speaker 1: I'm I'm being disrespectful they I know, I know I

279
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 1: like it. And they finished of course with us you

280
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:08,319
Speaker 1: know what I love And I know John's like rolling

281
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:10,079
Speaker 1: his eyes right now. You're not, but I bet you

282
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:13,560
Speaker 1: are internally because at a at a meeting, at one

283
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:15,560
Speaker 1: of our department meetings, I brought up the Dead People's

284
00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:18,840
Speaker 1: segment once and I said, I love seeing like the

285
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 1: guys who who passed away, who you never heard of,

286
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:24,880
Speaker 1: like a sound effects editor who worked But they'll show

287
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:27,120
Speaker 1: a little mini clip on the movie ben Her, you

288
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:29,040
Speaker 1: know he worked on this. I think I miked up

289
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 1: the Chariots and ben Her or whatever. No, it was

290
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:35,120
Speaker 1: a serious job. Charlton Hestad and ben Hart was a

291
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:38,000
Speaker 1: huge production. Like nobody knows who this guy is, but

292
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 1: now he's no longer with us. This shows you appreciate

293
00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 1: life while it's here. Get every ounce of the marrow

294
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 1: out of life, because it's gonna go. At some point.

295
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:50,240
Speaker 1: Everyone's gonna forget. No one's gonna know that you miked

296
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:53,000
Speaker 1: up the Chariots and been Her until they recognize you

297
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 1: at the Oscars or first you can play an iconic

298
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 1: figure like Dylan McKay I'm and they'll forget about you.

299
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:03,640
Speaker 1: I will be honest. I like that segment too. I

300
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 1: like that segment too. It's my favorite. They started to

301
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:08,680
Speaker 1: stay up for it. I didn't care who cares? I

302
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 1: didn't know. I mean I Joaquin Phoenix, I see Joker.

303
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:14,920
Speaker 1: I didn't see it. I haven't seen it. I don't

304
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:17,520
Speaker 1: know that it's very I don't know it looks really

305
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 1: really into. I don't even have a desire to see it.

306
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:21,040
Speaker 1: I don't have a desire to see it. I don't know.

307
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:23,760
Speaker 1: Like I was gonna say, why do we glamorize bad guys?

308
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:26,360
Speaker 1: But I'm into good Fellows and the Godfather, and that's

309
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:29,960
Speaker 1: glamorizing bad guys. So what? And the Irishman got nominated? Yeah,

310
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:32,400
Speaker 1: but for some reason, I don't know. I just don't

311
00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:35,800
Speaker 1: don't need to see the darkness that is the Joker. Yeah,

312
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:38,520
Speaker 1: I thought he'd ledger even had some comic relief there.

313
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 1: I don't. Maybe I can't judge the movie. I haven't

314
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 1: seen it, so maybe so good and I haven't. I

315
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:45,320
Speaker 1: haven't seen Join Po. I know Joaquin Phoenix has played

316
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 1: some amazing characters. He's a great Johnny Cash he didn't

317
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 1: so well. I had no when he played Johnny Cash

318
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:56,160
Speaker 1: and he sang the songs, I mean, Jamie Fox did

319
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 1: Ray Charles Ryan. They overdubbed the songs the the original version.

320
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:04,640
Speaker 1: I could not believe that Joaquin Phoenix pulled off Johnny Cash,

321
00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:09,440
Speaker 1: and with Johnny Cash's iconic, unique voice, he still pulled

322
00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:12,640
Speaker 1: it off. But his speech was kind of all over

323
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 1: the place. He had a couple of moments, yea rene

324
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:19,400
Speaker 1: speech like where I'm like, why are we talking about cows?

325
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 1: And I think I understand why we were, why he

326
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:25,440
Speaker 1: brought it up, but like, just just thank the people

327
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:27,120
Speaker 1: worked on the movie, right, That's all you gotta do.

328
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:29,480
Speaker 1: That's all you gotta do is thank the people that

329
00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:32,440
Speaker 1: mike you up every single day. That's it. All right, Well,

330
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 1: we gotta get back on track and we will do that.

331
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:38,680
Speaker 1: Next discuss more of these free agents and how it

332
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:41,640
Speaker 1: impacts the Texas and AFC South. Next right here on

333
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:44,240
Speaker 1: Texas All Axis. Welcome back to m on edition of

334
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:47,320
Speaker 1: Texas All Axis from the Honday Texans Radio Studio. I'm

335
00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:51,360
Speaker 1: your host, John Harris alongside Mark vander Meer. And somehow,

336
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:56,720
Speaker 1: some way we got on the oscars and the Dead

337
00:16:56,880 --> 00:17:00,840
Speaker 1: People's segment. I don't know how we did it, but

338
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:03,800
Speaker 1: we found a way to do just that. That's called

339
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:07,480
Speaker 1: a tangent. Ladies and gentlemen, we do that often. We

340
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:10,400
Speaker 1: were talking about in article that Bill Barnewell put out

341
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:14,199
Speaker 1: with some tremendous presentation that allows you to kind of

342
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 1: swipe less, swipe right, change teams for eight very influential

343
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:24,000
Speaker 1: NFL players heading into this offseason. And I'll start with

344
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:27,480
Speaker 1: one that was often rumored to come to the Texans

345
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:30,080
Speaker 1: because he was holding out because of some things that

346
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:34,000
Speaker 1: were happening in Washington, and that was Trent Williams. Oh,

347
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:37,719
Speaker 1: he has him coming here as a let me, let

348
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:42,760
Speaker 1: me he has three AFC teams, all right. The Cleveland

349
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:46,120
Speaker 1: Browns trade a second round pick for Trent Williams. The

350
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:50,879
Speaker 1: Dolphins trade back our pick the twenty six pick for

351
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:54,920
Speaker 1: Trent Williams and a second round pick. And last, and

352
00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:58,399
Speaker 1: certainly not least, Oh my god, Trent Williams ends up

353
00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:02,400
Speaker 1: with the Patriots. Oh, trade their top pick. The Patriots

354
00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:05,159
Speaker 1: trade the top pick for Trent Williams and a second

355
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:07,360
Speaker 1: round pick. Let me ask you this, Johnny, I don't

356
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:11,359
Speaker 1: like if Tonsil. See we all assume the Tonsils straight

357
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:13,720
Speaker 1: up two number ones and Stills is a number two.

358
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:16,399
Speaker 1: You know that trade was a package deal, so you know,

359
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:18,439
Speaker 1: how do you pull it apart? Break it up and

360
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:22,960
Speaker 1: decide the value of things. Is tounsil worth the two ones? Look,

361
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:25,000
Speaker 1: it was two ones and a two basically with the

362
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:30,159
Speaker 1: other stuff for Tonsil and Stills and and two of

363
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:32,520
Speaker 1: the draft picks, right, So you have to look at

364
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:34,960
Speaker 1: it like, well, you gave them Davenport, you know, so

365
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:38,120
Speaker 1: let's just remove the other gave the Dolphins. You gave

366
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:40,159
Speaker 1: the Dolphins players that were not they were not going

367
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:42,800
Speaker 1: to make your roster. No, in all likelihood death, they

368
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 1: were not credit to him. He played, but they won

369
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:47,600
Speaker 1: some games with him. I think he started the game

370
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:49,280
Speaker 1: they when they beat the Patriots. I think you're right,

371
00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:52,159
Speaker 1: so good for him. But the thing is this, Uh,

372
00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:55,960
Speaker 1: I just I wonder what Williams is worth on the

373
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:58,360
Speaker 1: open market? Is it a one and a two? Does

374
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:01,840
Speaker 1: that sound about right? You for Trent Williams, who's older

375
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:05,200
Speaker 1: than Tonsil? Well there, I mean Bill Barnon will suggesting

376
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:07,520
Speaker 1: the Browns traded just a second round pick for him.

377
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:10,320
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't see that happening. Now. That's ah,

378
00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:12,000
Speaker 1: we need to get rid of him. We gotta move

379
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:14,959
Speaker 1: on he you know whatever. I think maybe Washington does that,

380
00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:17,359
Speaker 1: or are they trying to make nice but are they

381
00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:19,320
Speaker 1: trying to make nice with them? I Revere, I try

382
00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:22,040
Speaker 1: and make nice with him, but I mean, Bruce Allen's

383
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:25,160
Speaker 1: moved on, right, so the Brett now Snider still there,

384
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:29,560
Speaker 1: but they've changed out brass and maybe it's possible. Helps

385
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:32,040
Speaker 1: you make nice with him and look, and maybe you

386
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:34,879
Speaker 1: pay him a little bit more money. Look, what helps

387
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:39,159
Speaker 1: every situation? What helps every situation? Yeah, lots of it.

388
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:40,680
Speaker 1: You can sit on a talk with guys all you

389
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:43,360
Speaker 1: want him and we look, we really love you. Yeah, yeah,

390
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:45,720
Speaker 1: it's fine, it's fine. Hey, we'd like to redo your

391
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:47,239
Speaker 1: contract and we'd like to give you a little bit

392
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:50,480
Speaker 1: more money. Up run Where did I sign? Yeah? It definitely, Yeah,

393
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:53,720
Speaker 1: that's simple, but it can be. It's it's like putting

394
00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:56,479
Speaker 1: back teen in the wound, right. It really a numbing

395
00:19:56,520 --> 00:20:00,240
Speaker 1: agent as well. It does soothe. Now if I'm roun vera,

396
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:02,199
Speaker 1: I'm trying to do that, and I'm also living in

397
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:05,360
Speaker 1: an NFC East. That's not like automatically winnable, but it

398
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:08,800
Speaker 1: kind of is if you there's opportunity there. I don't

399
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:10,679
Speaker 1: know about the quarterback situation. I don't know how they

400
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:13,040
Speaker 1: feel about Haskins. They can say whatever they want right now,

401
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:16,040
Speaker 1: they're grinding through that tape and that's a tough decision

402
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:18,600
Speaker 1: to make. It reminds me of you know, Arizona coming

403
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:20,720
Speaker 1: in and having to evaluate Rosen. But they had a

404
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:23,880
Speaker 1: really well Washington's gonna pick pretty high too, right, so

405
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:27,159
Speaker 1: number two, Yeah, that's pretty high. So they have a

406
00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:29,760
Speaker 1: decision to make. Are we okay with Haskins? What are

407
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:32,320
Speaker 1: we gonna do? He'll roll with Haskins because if it

408
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:37,440
Speaker 1: bottoms out, if it completely like Haskins is just phenomenally bad,

409
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:39,800
Speaker 1: and the Redskins go one to fifteen. I guess who's

410
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:42,480
Speaker 1: sitting at the end of that rainbow, Trevor Lawrence Clemson.

411
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:45,920
Speaker 1: So you think, all right, I hate doing that, though,

412
00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:48,560
Speaker 1: it's like the hate doing I'm just saying, if it

413
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:50,960
Speaker 1: if it's gonna be great, if it were gonna be great.

414
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:53,440
Speaker 1: You can't guarantee me anything. Oh no, you can't guarantee

415
00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:57,080
Speaker 1: any of that. But when you watch a guy, you go, okay,

416
00:20:57,160 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 1: that's what a quarterback looks like. That's what a guy

417
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:01,600
Speaker 1: supposed to look. He should be able to come in

418
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:06,520
Speaker 1: and do something you think, You think, okay. There's also

419
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:08,440
Speaker 1: a man by the name of Tom Brady on this list.

420
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:11,960
Speaker 1: All right, what does he have him wearing? What what uniforms?

421
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:15,320
Speaker 1: In the Bill Barnwell Interactive column, He's got an he's

422
00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:18,919
Speaker 1: got an NFC North team, all right, that would be

423
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:23,040
Speaker 1: the not the Browns, the Bengals, NFC North. Oh, I'm sorry,

424
00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:26,320
Speaker 1: NFC North, that would be the Bears, the Bears. The

425
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:28,800
Speaker 1: Bears signed Tom Brady to a four year, one hundred

426
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:31,280
Speaker 1: and ten million dollars deal. First of all, why are

427
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:34,720
Speaker 1: you signing Tom Brady to a four year deal? Stupid?

428
00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:37,920
Speaker 1: I mean, not a smart IDEA Chargers trying to be polite.

429
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:41,360
Speaker 1: It's a new year, a new beginning Chargers. The Chargers

430
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:45,160
Speaker 1: signed Tom Brady to a five year, one highty million

431
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:47,760
Speaker 1: dollars deal with one year guaranteed. I mean, that's all

432
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:51,440
Speaker 1: you can do. I guess you know. He says this

433
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:55,640
Speaker 1: deal three guaranteed years. That means Brady's playing ntil forty five.

434
00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:58,000
Speaker 1: So it's about the money. I mean, it's always about

435
00:21:58,000 --> 00:21:59,600
Speaker 1: the money. A little bit. We were just talking about that.

436
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:02,240
Speaker 1: You want the third team, give me the third team, Coults.

437
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:07,480
Speaker 1: Tom Brady gets a four year, one hundred sixty million

438
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:10,480
Speaker 1: dollars deal from the Indianapolis Colts. Ballard's not going to

439
00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:12,560
Speaker 1: do that. There's no way. There's no way. He wouldn't

440
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:15,360
Speaker 1: do that any Look the way going anywhere, it's gonna

441
00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:17,120
Speaker 1: be a two year deal. It's gonna be a two

442
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:19,960
Speaker 1: year deal. That's all you can do with Tom Brady.

443
00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:21,920
Speaker 1: Now you might want to pay, or you can sign

444
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:23,399
Speaker 1: him to five, but it better be a two year

445
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:27,280
Speaker 1: guarantee and he retires and then you're done, and that's it.

446
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:30,399
Speaker 1: You would think, if you're Tom Brady, John, where are

447
00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 1: you going? If it's if it's not New England And

448
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:37,639
Speaker 1: at this point, look, we don't live inside that bubble,

449
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:41,680
Speaker 1: that building. I just feel like they might want to

450
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:43,359
Speaker 1: be breaking up, you know what I mean? Don't you

451
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:45,200
Speaker 1: feel like they want to break up? Why aren't they

452
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:48,399
Speaker 1: together yet? Why haven't they patched it up? Craft is

453
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:51,000
Speaker 1: gonna come in and promise him another island in the

454
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:54,200
Speaker 1: Pacific Ocean somewhere in addition to the one he's already

455
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:57,439
Speaker 1: promised him in my fictional scenario here, if I'm if

456
00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:00,719
Speaker 1: I'm Brady and I'm thinking about it, I I'm just

457
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:02,720
Speaker 1: thinking about the teams that we played in which ones

458
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:07,600
Speaker 1: I think if you insert Tom Brady into that world.

459
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:10,360
Speaker 1: Does that team have an opportunity to make some serious

460
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:17,160
Speaker 1: noise in the ANFC? Coults yes, Colts, Yes, Raiders, Yes, Titans, Yes, Chargers. Yes.

461
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:21,800
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that Philip was was the problem. But

462
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:25,480
Speaker 1: Philip just started turning the ball over way too often, hasn't.

463
00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:28,560
Speaker 1: He always had a few key turning right, But in

464
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:30,800
Speaker 1: the years that they were good, he would kind of

465
00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:33,360
Speaker 1: keep it under control, Like twenty eighteen they were very

466
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:39,879
Speaker 1: very good. He would keep it under control, exactly right,

467
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:42,720
Speaker 1: and they didn't have that this year. I just don't

468
00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:45,159
Speaker 1: think Ballard does it. But I love the first line

469
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:49,400
Speaker 1: of Barnell's little blur per. He says, what's the ultimate

470
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:52,439
Speaker 1: revenge on Josh McDaniels for leaving the Colts at the altar?

471
00:23:54,480 --> 00:24:00,199
Speaker 1: That's that's pretty good. They don't play him, don't They

472
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:02,320
Speaker 1: don't play him this year? I would think, I mean,

473
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:05,480
Speaker 1: the Raiders are very intrigued, but I don't know. I

474
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:07,879
Speaker 1: don't think Brady wants to go to Vegas for Gruden,

475
00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:10,440
Speaker 1: does he. I don't think Brady wants to learn a

476
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:13,960
Speaker 1: whole new offense. Probably not, But Brady can break. You

477
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:15,480
Speaker 1: know you're gonna I mean, think about what happened when

478
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:18,360
Speaker 1: they took our computer away. We'd learned this radio program.

479
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:22,400
Speaker 1: It's like what No, And it's literally the same thing,

480
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:25,119
Speaker 1: but it was like no. But you're right. It's a

481
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:27,879
Speaker 1: great little analogy because it's like the terminology is different,

482
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:30,760
Speaker 1: the commands are different. How do I how do I

483
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:35,879
Speaker 1: normalize my voice? All of it's different. Uh. And then

484
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:40,199
Speaker 1: there is Philip Rivers, which we know Philip is now available, right,

485
00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:42,520
Speaker 1: so where does he have Rivers going? He's got three teams,

486
00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:47,240
Speaker 1: two and the NFC South, the Bucks and the Panthers,

487
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:54,000
Speaker 1: and one in the AFC South, really the Indianapolis Colts.

488
00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:57,560
Speaker 1: And he says, the Colts give Philip Rivers a two year,

489
00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:01,399
Speaker 1: sixty two million dollars to be their starter, which begs

490
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:06,680
Speaker 1: the question, who would you rather face for the next

491
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:10,600
Speaker 1: two years, Philip Rivers twice a year or Tom Brady

492
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:14,639
Speaker 1: twice a year. I'll take my chances on Rivers because

493
00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:17,199
Speaker 1: the upside of Brady is just too frightening in a

494
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:19,560
Speaker 1: cult's uniform. I mean, what are you trying to do?

495
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:24,120
Speaker 1: Give me nightmares here? I already despise the Colts more

496
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:26,639
Speaker 1: than any other team. And now you're gonna put Tom

497
00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:30,840
Speaker 1: Brady in that uniform. This is ridiculous. Okay, So here's

498
00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:32,760
Speaker 1: how I'll present it to you this way. Okay, So

499
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:36,040
Speaker 1: Tom Brady for a couple of years, Philip Rivers for

500
00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:40,000
Speaker 1: a couple of years, or they drafted quarterback at thirteen

501
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:42,880
Speaker 1: who ends up being the future for them. Yeah. See,

502
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:44,879
Speaker 1: I don't like that either, but they might want to

503
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:47,320
Speaker 1: do that anyway. They're not gonna do that anyway if

504
00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:49,640
Speaker 1: they sign one of those. They've got Brissette. I think

505
00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:53,399
Speaker 1: Brissette's contract has one more year. It's an interest and

506
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:55,520
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's guaranteed, though. We're gonna talk

507
00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:57,960
Speaker 1: about this also, Yeah, I think it's one more Yeah,

508
00:25:58,000 --> 00:25:59,920
Speaker 1: whatever it is, they can they can move on from it.

509
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:02,359
Speaker 1: But here's the point, and I would keep him around

510
00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:05,040
Speaker 1: injuries whatever, you always solid. If he's healthy, you can

511
00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:07,399
Speaker 1: do a whole lot of damage. But my thought is this,

512
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:09,560
Speaker 1: and we're gonna talk about this all offseason. The cults,

513
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:13,679
Speaker 1: from their perspective, is it the right thing to do

514
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:15,320
Speaker 1: to go out and get one of these guys these

515
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:17,720
Speaker 1: you know, Philip Rivers time already old man of the

516
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:19,840
Speaker 1: c type quarterbacks, or do you go draft somebody and

517
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:22,760
Speaker 1: have him learn underbrush set and do it that way.

518
00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:25,400
Speaker 1: It's an interesting question because like, how can I win

519
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:29,280
Speaker 1: quickly but not mortgage the future? Because look, otherwise the

520
00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:32,199
Speaker 1: AFC South potentially sails away from you, but the Titans

521
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:35,879
Speaker 1: and the Texans potentially. But what's your window in Indianapolis is?

522
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:38,439
Speaker 1: Are you worried about your window closing? Think about indianapolis

523
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:42,119
Speaker 1: best players, Quinn Nelson, Darius Leonard. I mean t Y

524
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:44,080
Speaker 1: t Wise getting a little well, he's getting up there

525
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:47,480
Speaker 1: in age. But you can find it, Ty, You can

526
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:49,560
Speaker 1: find it received you can. But you know what if

527
00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:51,840
Speaker 1: I have if I have a healthy Brady or a

528
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:54,400
Speaker 1: Rivers that still can play, I feel like I can

529
00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:56,000
Speaker 1: do it this year. I can win the division, I

530
00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:57,760
Speaker 1: can get at least the wild card, and I can

531
00:26:57,800 --> 00:26:59,719
Speaker 1: get back to the postseason. That's what you want to do.

532
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:02,200
Speaker 1: You take your shot. But if you if I draft

533
00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:04,960
Speaker 1: a guy, where am I I might? I might get there?

534
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:07,720
Speaker 1: But where am I really going here? You know? Yeah? True?

535
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:10,160
Speaker 1: I don't disagree with the quarterback? Who would you games?

536
00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:13,880
Speaker 1: Would you rather have Tom Brady and you go ten

537
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:17,240
Speaker 1: and six and you get a wild card? Or would

538
00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:20,920
Speaker 1: you rather go seven and nine having drafted Jordan Love,

539
00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:22,879
Speaker 1: and you stick Jordan Love in there, and by the

540
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:24,600
Speaker 1: end of year one you're like, Okay, we know we

541
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:27,000
Speaker 1: got we know we have and we've got the future

542
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 1: of this franchise for a while. Here's the thing about

543
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:31,080
Speaker 1: all this. You have to do what's right for the team. Yes,

544
00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:35,600
Speaker 1: you also need to be competitive asap, because it's still

545
00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:38,400
Speaker 1: a business. You know, it's still you know here like

546
00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:40,720
Speaker 1: the Texans are winning, people are mad about the way

547
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:44,080
Speaker 1: it ended. It's still a business. You know. It's a business,

548
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:46,200
Speaker 1: a professional football. You're trying to win games. You want

549
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:48,239
Speaker 1: to ignite the fan base. You want everybody to be

550
00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:50,720
Speaker 1: happy as much as possible. Obviously that's not always gonna

551
00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:53,239
Speaker 1: be possible. Yeah, it's not always gonna be possible. But

552
00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:57,680
Speaker 1: I just don't think that Ballot would do either. Really,

553
00:27:57,720 --> 00:27:59,440
Speaker 1: I don't think he would do either. I just get

554
00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:01,840
Speaker 1: I mean, raft a guy. He's probably earned the clout

555
00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:04,800
Speaker 1: to draft somebody and not wait wait is the wrong word,

556
00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:07,160
Speaker 1: but develop, Yeah, I think so. And I think they'll

557
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:09,280
Speaker 1: go one more year with Jacob Brisett and think they'll

558
00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:11,560
Speaker 1: draft the right guy and then that'll be the future.

559
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:14,160
Speaker 1: And not to say that they want to sacrifice. I've

560
00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:16,879
Speaker 1: just learned that aspect of things life in the NFL.

561
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:18,959
Speaker 1: People talking about that, well, I'll just eat you, just

562
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:22,240
Speaker 1: eat er. Heck no, yeah, yeah, you can't. You can't

563
00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:25,440
Speaker 1: even dolphin. You can't even think that way. The Dolphins

564
00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:26,920
Speaker 1: did it, but and they did it, and then it

565
00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:28,920
Speaker 1: drove them crazy. So they went and decided to win

566
00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:31,159
Speaker 1: some games, and they actually did, and they beat the

567
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:32,639
Speaker 1: Patriots in the last day of the regular and they

568
00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:34,879
Speaker 1: still might end up with too. I just don't. I

569
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:36,960
Speaker 1: just don't want the colt end up with two. Is

570
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:38,480
Speaker 1: the one guy I just don't want to face twice

571
00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:41,160
Speaker 1: a year. I just don't. I just don't. We're already

572
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:45,240
Speaker 1: gonna have to face Mahomes twice a year. Ye. Playoffs, Yeah,

573
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:48,120
Speaker 1: of course, that's the way you gotta think. That's when

574
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:50,360
Speaker 1: the truth the Chiefs come up. I'm like, I start

575
00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:52,520
Speaker 1: thinking about the Chiefs like a division team. Yeah. I

576
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:53,920
Speaker 1: think that's the way you have to start doing in

577
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:57,760
Speaker 1: the past. Yeah, we've seen them more than any other team, right, Yeah,

578
00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:01,680
Speaker 1: maybe the Patriot, No, the Chiefs. Two playoffs? Yeah, all right,

579
00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:03,840
Speaker 1: two playoffs. Mark appreciate it. Thanks Johnny Now one of

580
00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:06,320
Speaker 1: those guys that we mentioned some big news about him

581
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:10,280
Speaker 1: today out in LA. What is the next home for

582
00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:13,720
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers because of what happened today. We'll talk about

583
00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:15,440
Speaker 1: that next as we go around the NFL. Right here

584
00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:18,120
Speaker 1: in Texas All Access thirty two for the Chargers at

585
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:20,640
Speaker 1: the Houston seven Rivers and the gutten two receivers. Right,

586
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:23,520
Speaker 1: Rivers pulls down the high snout floats the ball outside

587
00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:26,120
Speaker 1: of the Edzell caught Keenan Allen and it's good for

588
00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:31,080
Speaker 1: a touchdown. That was Week three out in LA at

589
00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 1: Dignity Health Park, and that was Philip Rivers starting a

590
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:38,640
Speaker 1: touchdown to Keenan Allen against the Texans and it will

591
00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:42,800
Speaker 1: be the one of the last ones that Rivers throws

592
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:46,080
Speaker 1: for the Chargers because of news that came out today.

593
00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:49,040
Speaker 1: Welcome back to our final segment of Texas All Access

594
00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:51,719
Speaker 1: from the Hunday Texans Radio studio, and we're gonna bounce

595
00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:55,120
Speaker 1: around the NFL. And probably the biggest news of the

596
00:29:55,200 --> 00:30:01,360
Speaker 1: day comes from the LA Chargers and Philip Rivers. It

597
00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:06,120
Speaker 1: was a mutual agreement, if you will. The Elliott Chargers

598
00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:10,160
Speaker 1: announced Monday that the team and Rivers have mutually agreed

599
00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:14,240
Speaker 1: the quarterback will enter free agency and not return to

600
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:19,080
Speaker 1: the team in twenty twenty. General manager Tom to LESCo

601
00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:22,280
Speaker 1: said in a statement and I quote, after stepping back

602
00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:24,840
Speaker 1: a bit from last season, we reconnected with Philip and

603
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:28,440
Speaker 1: its representatives to look at how twenty nineteen played out,

604
00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:32,240
Speaker 1: assess our future goals, evaluate the current state of the roster,

605
00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:35,240
Speaker 1: and see if there was a path forward that made

606
00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:39,520
Speaker 1: sense for both parties. To LESCo said later on he

607
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:43,000
Speaker 1: still felt like Rivers could play at a high level,

608
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:46,240
Speaker 1: but it was time to move on now. The timing

609
00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:49,280
Speaker 1: of this depending on how you look at those kind

610
00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:55,000
Speaker 1: of things. The Chargers will move into Sofi Stadium, the

611
00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:58,000
Speaker 1: massive structure that is going on going up right now

612
00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:02,120
Speaker 1: in Inglewood, and Chargers will share that with the Rams,

613
00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:06,360
Speaker 1: but Philip Rivers will not be part of that building

614
00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:10,440
Speaker 1: or that process. To see what the Charges will do

615
00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:13,680
Speaker 1: in that building. I'm still curious to see how this

616
00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:18,680
Speaker 1: plays out for the Chargers. That is, if La is anything, Well,

617
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:21,680
Speaker 1: first of all, it's a usc town, and then second

618
00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:25,520
Speaker 1: is it's a Rams town. I guess whose house, Rams House.

619
00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:28,640
Speaker 1: I know Houston Cougar is really upset when they heard that.

620
00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:32,160
Speaker 1: Either way, to me, it strikes me as it's gonna

621
00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:36,680
Speaker 1: be a RAMS building featuring the Chargers, if that makes sense,

622
00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:38,680
Speaker 1: Like the Chargers are just gonna be that team that

623
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:42,760
Speaker 1: just kind of, you know, because Giant Stadium for a

624
00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:45,680
Speaker 1: long time was Giant Stadium, and then there were the Jets,

625
00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:47,600
Speaker 1: and I kind of have a feeling that's the way

626
00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:49,440
Speaker 1: it's gonna be for the Chargers. So the Chargers need

627
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:54,240
Speaker 1: something is splash something I suppose and I'm not really

628
00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:56,320
Speaker 1: If you listen to me for a long time, you

629
00:31:56,360 --> 00:31:58,320
Speaker 1: know I'm not all about splashes. I'm just you know,

630
00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:00,760
Speaker 1: you put the best team together. But this is a

631
00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:03,640
Speaker 1: little bit of a unique situation. They've got plenty of

632
00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:09,680
Speaker 1: splash players, Bosa Ingram Derwin, James Keen Allen. They won't

633
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:11,840
Speaker 1: have Melvin Gordon. I don't imagine nless they're able to

634
00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:13,360
Speaker 1: sign him, and I don't know how that's gonna happen,

635
00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:16,160
Speaker 1: but they have an opportunity. I don't think they're going

636
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:20,959
Speaker 1: to and but they we've got no quarterback now relatively speaking.

637
00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:26,760
Speaker 1: Trod Taylor is on the roster, but he is a

638
00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:32,080
Speaker 1: good solid backup if anything else. Now, the Chargers pick six,

639
00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:36,760
Speaker 1: and that is prime quarterback territory. Remember last year New

640
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:40,200
Speaker 1: York Giants ended up taking Daniel Jones at number six,

641
00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:42,800
Speaker 1: which me and a lot of other people thought it

642
00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:45,240
Speaker 1: was a little bit high for Daniel Jones. I think

643
00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:47,080
Speaker 1: they could have taken him at the seventeenth pick and

644
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:49,920
Speaker 1: still got him. But then again, and I said some time,

645
00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:52,920
Speaker 1: if you know that your guy, just go get him.

646
00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:55,920
Speaker 1: And they felt like they had their guy in Daniel Jones,

647
00:32:56,040 --> 00:32:58,560
Speaker 1: you go get him. Justice Herbert to a tongue of

648
00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:01,200
Speaker 1: by law, be very interesting at pick number six for

649
00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:05,240
Speaker 1: the snegog Ah find me the La Chargers. I've been

650
00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:07,760
Speaker 1: really good about that. I've been really good about that,

651
00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:11,240
Speaker 1: not saying San Diego and I just did it. But

652
00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:14,720
Speaker 1: they will need a quarterback. They will, I would imagine

653
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:16,680
Speaker 1: with the ones we talked about in the first couple

654
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:19,280
Speaker 1: of seconds with Mark Tom Brady is gonna be I

655
00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:22,280
Speaker 1: would imagine in the mix of the Chargers. Oh, here's

656
00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:25,280
Speaker 1: a wild one. If the Raiders end up going and

657
00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:29,320
Speaker 1: doing something with their quarterback position, and that means Derek

658
00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:33,560
Speaker 1: Carr could be available. And it's crazy thought, but maybe

659
00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:37,520
Speaker 1: that's something that the Chargers would entertain. You obviously know

660
00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:40,040
Speaker 1: Philip is not going to be that guy. So it's

661
00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:42,280
Speaker 1: Tom Brady. I know they haven't put all their eggs

662
00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:44,320
Speaker 1: in one basket. And it makes me think back the

663
00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:48,200
Speaker 1: twenty seventeen here in Houston. If you remember that, it's

664
00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:50,760
Speaker 1: hard to think about anything before to sean to be honest,

665
00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:53,880
Speaker 1: but there was a lot of talk about what Tony

666
00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:56,680
Speaker 1: Romo coming to the Texans. Tony Romo is the piece

667
00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:59,160
Speaker 1: we had just come off that divisional playoff round. There's

668
00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:01,920
Speaker 1: a number one defense in the league. We had Whitney

669
00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:05,960
Speaker 1: and I'm sorry we had what coming back in twenty seventeen.

670
00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:08,719
Speaker 1: We were gonna be strong, like, all right, let's do

671
00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:11,320
Speaker 1: this Tony Romo, he's the man, Let's make this happen.

672
00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:14,960
Speaker 1: And then Tony says, not only am I not playing football,

673
00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:19,960
Speaker 1: I'm going into broadcast booth. Okay, so what do we

674
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:22,040
Speaker 1: do now? And then the Texas trade up went and

675
00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:26,399
Speaker 1: got to Shawn Watson and there you go. Maybe that's

676
00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:29,880
Speaker 1: the case for this Tom Brady thing. I think Tom's

677
00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:32,920
Speaker 1: gonna play though, but putting on your eggs in the basket,

678
00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:34,799
Speaker 1: if you did Chargers, then going, oh, we didn't get

679
00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:36,360
Speaker 1: Tom Brady, what do we do? And I dropped the

680
00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:41,120
Speaker 1: quarterback sitting at six, and of course it depends on

681
00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:44,600
Speaker 1: how Combine plays up Pro Day all that kind of stuff.

682
00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:46,880
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think sometimes a little bit is

683
00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:49,040
Speaker 1: made a little bit too much is made in that.

684
00:34:49,680 --> 00:34:53,360
Speaker 1: I think the Bengals know that Joe Burrow is gonna

685
00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:55,840
Speaker 1: be there guy at one. The Redskins over the quarterback

686
00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:58,960
Speaker 1: last year, it doesn't reclude them from drafting quarterback, especially

687
00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:02,440
Speaker 1: when there's been different changes. As Mark noted earlier in

688
00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:06,000
Speaker 1: the front office Brass, but you would expect that Chase

689
00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:09,640
Speaker 1: Young would go to put Chase Young with Montes Sweat

690
00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:13,840
Speaker 1: and with the Alabama guys that have been there forever.

691
00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:17,960
Speaker 1: It feels like Dron Payne, etc. You got a little

692
00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:19,640
Speaker 1: something on the defensive side of the ball. Plus you

693
00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:22,440
Speaker 1: give Dayne Haskins a little bit more opportunity to be

694
00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:26,000
Speaker 1: the guy there in Washington. And number three is Detroit,

695
00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:29,160
Speaker 1: and to me, that's where the draft really begins. And

696
00:35:29,239 --> 00:35:31,359
Speaker 1: at that point there will be two quarterbacks. So you're

697
00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:34,000
Speaker 1: sitting there at six to the Chargers and you got

698
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:37,520
Speaker 1: to escape Detroit. If Detroit stays, then you've got the

699
00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:40,120
Speaker 1: Giants at four not taking a quarterback and you got

700
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:43,040
Speaker 1: the Dolphins at five more than likely taking a quarterback.

701
00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:47,600
Speaker 1: Can you survive pick number three or do you have

702
00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:49,400
Speaker 1: to move up with the Lions to make sure that

703
00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:51,880
Speaker 1: you get your choice a quarterback bea Justin Herbert to

704
00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:55,279
Speaker 1: a tongue of Viola or I wouldn't think Jordan Love

705
00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:58,400
Speaker 1: but that high. But I love Jordan Love. I think

706
00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:00,640
Speaker 1: he's gonna be a fantastic quarterback in the Chargers. Might

707
00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:03,440
Speaker 1: make some sense for him. Maybe you sit there and

708
00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:05,680
Speaker 1: wait for Jordan Love to come to you had number six.

709
00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:10,000
Speaker 1: I think that's probably a little bit of a stretch,

710
00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:12,279
Speaker 1: but you just gotta keep your eye number three. I

711
00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:14,680
Speaker 1: wouldn't imagine the Lions are drafting a quarterback with Matt

712
00:36:14,680 --> 00:36:17,720
Speaker 1: Stafford coming back, but there are some people saying it could.

713
00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:22,799
Speaker 1: It could happen. I don't think it will, but I

714
00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:25,000
Speaker 1: think the Chargers are gonna end up going a quarterback.

715
00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:32,400
Speaker 1: Speaking of draft eligible quarterbacks. Two A ton of Volo

716
00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:34,799
Speaker 1: is a name that we have talked about for a

717
00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:39,440
Speaker 1: while from the National Championship Game. Davin Bellamy and I've

718
00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:41,360
Speaker 1: talked about this a bunch. When I bring up to

719
00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:43,799
Speaker 1: his name, he just he wants to slug me, which

720
00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:46,359
Speaker 1: I don't blame him. That's that's a hard one to

721
00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:49,239
Speaker 1: try and get over because, as Davin says, you win

722
00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:51,799
Speaker 1: a national championship, you got more eyeballs on you. You

723
00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:54,839
Speaker 1: lose it, and well that's almost as if you didn't

724
00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:58,239
Speaker 1: even get there. And two has that touchdown against them

725
00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:00,440
Speaker 1: the second in twenty six he throws a devout Smith

726
00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:03,239
Speaker 1: touchdown too, it becomes a legend in Alabama history. Well,

727
00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:06,480
Speaker 1: this year he dealt as he did the previous year

728
00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:09,880
Speaker 1: in twenty eighteen, dealt injuries, but this one was more significant.

729
00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:12,880
Speaker 1: Against Mississippi State, he was dealing with ankle injury and

730
00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:15,160
Speaker 1: he was trying to get out of the pocket, got

731
00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:21,840
Speaker 1: tackled and ended up injuring his hip. Now, there was

732
00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:24,920
Speaker 1: a worry at the time, back in our October, the

733
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:28,640
Speaker 1: late Octobe, early in November, that this was going to

734
00:37:28,719 --> 00:37:34,279
Speaker 1: be a bo Jackson situation. Now it doesn't appear that's

735
00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:39,200
Speaker 1: going to be the case. In fact, today it was

736
00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:44,560
Speaker 1: reported that the Alabama quarterbacks three months CT scan. So

737
00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:49,359
Speaker 1: three months so it's February, so January, December, November, yeah, okay, yeah,

738
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:53,000
Speaker 1: so early in November, his three months CT scan on

739
00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:58,440
Speaker 1: his fractured hip was and I quote as positive as possible.

740
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:03,040
Speaker 1: It revealed a healed hip. The hip and its range

741
00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:06,560
Speaker 1: of motion is good. But it will likely be another

742
00:38:06,680 --> 00:38:11,600
Speaker 1: month before Tuah is cleared for football activities, as reported

743
00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:16,680
Speaker 1: by Ian Rapaport. Now, because he dealt with the ankle,

744
00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:19,000
Speaker 1: because he dealt with the hip, and some people are

745
00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:23,359
Speaker 1: worried about exactly what is there. Thirty two teams are

746
00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:25,879
Speaker 1: gonna have the opportunity to dive into the medicals, onto

747
00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:29,560
Speaker 1: a tongue of by law and take a look at

748
00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:34,040
Speaker 1: it themselves. But two weeks before the you know, people

749
00:38:34,080 --> 00:38:37,000
Speaker 1: start arriving at the combine, including yours truly and our

750
00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:41,560
Speaker 1: gang going to the combine to a has got some

751
00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:44,719
Speaker 1: good news and that's a that's a good start. Now.

752
00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:46,720
Speaker 1: When talking about that was on the Super Bowl, apparently

753
00:38:46,760 --> 00:38:48,719
Speaker 1: he sounded confident in his future, said, you know what

754
00:38:48,840 --> 00:38:50,960
Speaker 1: he's gonna be. He's gonna be better, He's gonna be

755
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:54,160
Speaker 1: healthier at the next level. But there will be a

756
00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:58,879
Speaker 1: tag of whether he is actually injury prone or not.

757
00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:02,400
Speaker 1: He is going to be a guy that I those

758
00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:06,120
Speaker 1: just sound crazy and almost rather face Joe Burrow twice

759
00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:07,960
Speaker 1: a year than I would to a tongue of Ioloa.

760
00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:12,000
Speaker 1: It's just I don't and I don't want the Colts

761
00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:14,520
Speaker 1: stand up with him at thirteen. I don't want the

762
00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:16,520
Speaker 1: Colts with a quarterback. I want them to sort of

763
00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:19,760
Speaker 1: kind of slog through without a quarterback at this particular moment.

764
00:39:20,560 --> 00:39:23,080
Speaker 1: I'd like the Jaguars to continue on with Gardner Minshew

765
00:39:23,120 --> 00:39:27,960
Speaker 1: if they'd like to, That's fine. Titans Ryan Tannehill, okay

766
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:30,440
Speaker 1: with that. You know, he played pretty well at the

767
00:39:30,520 --> 00:39:32,200
Speaker 1: end of the year. I just don't want to face

768
00:39:32,239 --> 00:39:34,480
Speaker 1: two twice a year, and the Colts are the one

769
00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:36,759
Speaker 1: teams at thirteen and the sort of I sort of

770
00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:39,000
Speaker 1: worry about now Jacksonville is sitting there at nine. But

771
00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:41,319
Speaker 1: I just have this feeling that Jacksonville is gonna let

772
00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:43,879
Speaker 1: Gardner Minshew do his thing, and that's probably a wise thing.

773
00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:47,680
Speaker 1: You can start to see some belief happening in him,

774
00:39:48,239 --> 00:39:52,239
Speaker 1: and there's obviously the well, you know, sixth rounder, Um,

775
00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:54,719
Speaker 1: that was Tom Brady. What's happened? I would like to

776
00:39:54,760 --> 00:39:58,360
Speaker 1: think two totally different situations, but we'll see if it

777
00:39:58,400 --> 00:40:01,480
Speaker 1: actually is two different situations. Mitchell did some good things,

778
00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:06,640
Speaker 1: but I think against us we showed that we had

779
00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:10,560
Speaker 1: the right mix for how you stop him, and we

780
00:40:10,600 --> 00:40:13,320
Speaker 1: had the right plan for you stop him. And when

781
00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:15,319
Speaker 1: I thought about Gardner Mitschew, I thought about all these

782
00:40:15,320 --> 00:40:17,560
Speaker 1: other teams struggling and stop him, like, well, we stopped

783
00:40:17,640 --> 00:40:21,120
Speaker 1: him for most of the first game and then all

784
00:40:21,200 --> 00:40:23,279
Speaker 1: of the second game, And I start thinking about how

785
00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:25,879
Speaker 1: the Tampa Bay Buccaneers were always the team that could

786
00:40:25,880 --> 00:40:28,439
Speaker 1: slow down Michael Vick no matter what. No matter what,

787
00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:31,680
Speaker 1: Vic struggled against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers always. I mean,

788
00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:33,799
Speaker 1: that's way it just for Gardner Minchew. Either way, how

789
00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:36,680
Speaker 1: this all plays in together, I don't think two ends

790
00:40:36,719 --> 00:40:38,560
Speaker 1: up in Jacksonville. That would be a little bit of

791
00:40:38,600 --> 00:40:42,640
Speaker 1: a surprise. Then again, Dave Calledwell's back in charge, and

792
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:45,440
Speaker 1: he surprised everybody would pick number three and twenty fourteen

793
00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:49,200
Speaker 1: taking Blake Bortles. So hopefully he's off the board by

794
00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:52,160
Speaker 1: the time you get to Miami. Hopefully Justice Herbert's off

795
00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:53,760
Speaker 1: the board by the time you get to the Chargers

796
00:40:53,760 --> 00:40:57,080
Speaker 1: and five and six, And then Jacksonville takes a defensive

797
00:40:57,080 --> 00:40:58,920
Speaker 1: linement that left the tangle with probably a guy like

798
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:01,960
Speaker 1: Derek Brown, and that's going to suck, as he's really good.

799
00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:05,480
Speaker 1: I don't really want to deal with him, but that's

800
00:41:05,480 --> 00:41:08,960
Speaker 1: the way this draft thing works. Tennessee. Last year drafted

801
00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:12,160
Speaker 1: every good player I liked, I like. I love Jeffrey Simmons.

802
00:41:12,200 --> 00:41:14,600
Speaker 1: He was number four, my Harris one hundred, maybe three.

803
00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:17,680
Speaker 1: He went nineteen to the Titans. I loved aj Brown

804
00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:20,480
Speaker 1: had him at thirty. I think I had him right

805
00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:24,160
Speaker 1: in the early thirties. I think he went in the fifties,

806
00:41:24,200 --> 00:41:27,520
Speaker 1: maybe in the second round, stud receiver Monny Hook or

807
00:41:27,560 --> 00:41:29,120
Speaker 1: fourth round. I had to start for them because the

808
00:41:29,120 --> 00:41:32,839
Speaker 1: injuries and safety loved him, I mean, just everybody they

809
00:41:32,880 --> 00:41:36,200
Speaker 1: added to the mix. I'm like, oh man. So that's

810
00:41:36,200 --> 00:41:37,719
Speaker 1: the way it goes to the draft. Jackson will find

811
00:41:37,719 --> 00:41:40,000
Speaker 1: a good player at seven, but hopefully it is not

812
00:41:40,040 --> 00:41:43,040
Speaker 1: a guy like to a tongua violo. All right, big

813
00:41:43,040 --> 00:41:45,520
Speaker 1: thanks to Mark for jumping in on the show. Love

814
00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:47,600
Speaker 1: getting back in the sat A free agency is gonna

815
00:41:47,600 --> 00:41:49,520
Speaker 1: be coming up or the next couple of weeks. Combine

816
00:41:49,600 --> 00:41:51,600
Speaker 1: is in a couple of weeks. So we've got all

817
00:41:51,640 --> 00:41:54,520
Speaker 1: of that to look forward to. Where are the influential

818
00:41:54,600 --> 00:41:57,560
Speaker 1: players in the NFL gonna go? Who are the Texans
