00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:08,080
Speaker 2: As we get closer and closer to.

4
00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:11,400
Speaker 1: Getting on that airplane and going to Ohio for one

5
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:14,800
Speaker 1: of the best weekends you could possibly have as a

6
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:17,520
Speaker 1: Texans fan. Texans game against the Bears in the Hall

7
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:21,439
Speaker 1: of Fame game on Thursday, Andre Johnson, weekend of fun

8
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:23,680
Speaker 1: at the Hall of Fame going in the first Texan.

9
00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:26,920
Speaker 2: It's going to be awesome, and we're getting that much closer.

10
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:30,120
Speaker 1: John Harris alongside Mark Vandermuir and Marcus I said all

11
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:33,360
Speaker 1: of that, I could feel like the chill bumps on

12
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:35,559
Speaker 1: my arm, like, oh my god, We're getting that.

13
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:37,360
Speaker 3: Much closer and I'm going to Hall of Fame for

14
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:38,520
Speaker 3: the first time. I'm so pumped.

15
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:43,200
Speaker 4: Think about the last couple of years of this organization's history.

16
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:47,560
Speaker 4: You have four three or four of the top five

17
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 4: offseason meaning out of the regular season because this is preseason,

18
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 4: but out of the regular season moments, events that kind

19
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:57,280
Speaker 4: of thing. Hall of Fame the first time ever, I

20
00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:00,440
Speaker 4: mean it was only one first time, yep. And Andre

21
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 4: Johnson going in that is so wonderful. But I think

22
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 4: about Demico getting hired. The big moments that have happened

23
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:10,040
Speaker 4: in the last couple of years off the field, Will

24
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:13,120
Speaker 4: and CJ in the draft, things like that.

25
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 3: The uniform unveil, the new one.

26
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 4: You know, I'm not talking about anything pre two thousand

27
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:20,760
Speaker 4: and two because that's the first time.

28
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:21,840
Speaker 3: For all that stuff.

29
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 4: But this is such a monumental weekend, You're right, Johnny,

30
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 4: a landmark weekend for this organization with the Thursday night

31
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:31,680
Speaker 4: game because it's Andre Johnson's Hall of Fame weekend. If

32
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 4: you're just a Hall of Fame game for no other reason,

33
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 4: well fine, it's another preseason game.

34
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:40,120
Speaker 3: But this has that edge to it. It's so special.

35
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:41,839
Speaker 4: We're going to be talking about it all night long

36
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:44,399
Speaker 4: on Thursday. And then we stay in Cleveland and a

37
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 4: week later we're at Pittsburgh, and here we go. It's

38
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 4: going to be a completely different situation. You're staying in

39
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 4: that part of the country. I can't wait. You're right,

40
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 4: I'm feeling it. I'm feeling the goosebumps. I'm ready to rock.

41
00:01:56,640 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 1: And with that Pittsburgh game, Actually, both of these we're outside.

42
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 1: We're outside. We're outside against the Bears, outside against the Steelers.

43
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:08,800
Speaker 1: Then we are not outside to play a football game

44
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:13,800
Speaker 1: until October twentieth. Oh, October thirteenth against the Patriots. Wow,

45
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:15,680
Speaker 1: we're inside all that time.

46
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 3: You see the smile on my face. Yeah, yeah, you're

47
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 3: happy about that. Well, it's I love it.

48
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:23,919
Speaker 4: The roof comes up in these conversations about this stuff

49
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,919
Speaker 4: because the roof has a little bit of a gap

50
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:30,079
Speaker 4: in a couple of spots because of the hurricane damage,

51
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:31,960
Speaker 4: and we're wondering when that's going to be repaired. My

52
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 4: kid went to the Zach Bryan concert Saturday night. Oh yeah,

53
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 4: I said, so what it looked like? He said, Well,

54
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:38,799
Speaker 4: when you're in there and when it's still light out,

55
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 4: it's obviously you know there's a hole in the roof.

56
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 4: It's not quite a hole. You can see pictures of it.

57
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 4: People have posted stuff just a gaple, panels.

58
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 3: Missing, and at night there's no one notices.

59
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:53,360
Speaker 4: Right, So you're gonna have that Bears game, but you're

60
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 4: gonna kick off that game at seven twenty or whatever,

61
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:58,640
Speaker 4: so it's still gonna be an hour of daylight, so everyone's.

62
00:02:58,240 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 3: Gonna see it.

63
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 4: We'll see how it all go. Maybe they get it

64
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 4: replaced by then. And the other thing is if it rains.

65
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 4: This is the weird thing. If it rains with the

66
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 4: roof closed the way it is now, you're gonna have

67
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 4: rain falling in. I don't know between the twenty and

68
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:14,639
Speaker 4: the twenty five, I don't know how.

69
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:15,240
Speaker 3: It's gonna look.

70
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 1: So I was upstairs, yeah, and so it kind of

71
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:22,920
Speaker 1: a peat behind a curtain where our quote unquote cafeteria is.

72
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 1: They put it up in a press box for us

73
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 1: every day eleven eleven to one.

74
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 2: So I was up there on Friday, Friday.

75
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, and so it was raining on Friday, but the

76
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 1: rain pretty much stopped that I that I thought, I thought,

77
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 1: and so I went over to get it was ice

78
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 1: cream Friday.

79
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 3: They have ice cream for us on Friday.

80
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 1: So I go to get my ice cream and I

81
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 1: look and there they've got the big stage set up

82
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 1: and everything. And I look and right in the kind

83
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 1: of the middle of the setup, there's water coming down.

84
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, like there's rain coming down.

85
00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 1: It's there one spot and in one spot like as

86
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 1: they're trying to set up, and it was just I've

87
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 1: been in that in the bowl. I don't know many times.

88
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 1: I've been in the press box to look down on

89
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 1: the bowl A million times. You've seeing big old concerts

90
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 1: setups and all kinds of stuff, and you know what

91
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:17,160
Speaker 1: you never see is rain coming down with that like

92
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 1: that forever real ever, And it was just kind of odd.

93
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:22,479
Speaker 1: You see this big, old, beautiful stage set up and

94
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 1: then you know, kind of two thirds of the way

95
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 1: through the seats or whatever they had on the floor,

96
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:29,600
Speaker 1: the area had on the floor, you see the water

97
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 1: coming through, and it just was it was kind of

98
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:32,479
Speaker 1: hot and strange.

99
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:34,360
Speaker 4: They got to be ready for that, yea, all these

100
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:38,359
Speaker 4: concerts because they have rain and open air stadiums, and

101
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 4: they play open air stadiums. Everyone's familiar with the Tailor

102
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:44,239
Speaker 4: Swift footage you see on the social media platforms wherever

103
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:46,360
Speaker 4: of her playing in New England and it's poor, poor

104
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 4: and she's just wiping the water away from her piano.

105
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:52,920
Speaker 4: It's hilarious. She's a gamer man, she is. She played

106
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 4: it out in the rain. I'm glad that the damage

107
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:58,840
Speaker 4: is on that end of the stadium for the concerts, yeah,

108
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,280
Speaker 4: instead of the stage. And but red Don there's one

109
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 4: more concert here. Luke colmbs right thinks he's coming in.

110
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 3: I think so.

111
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, And then you have the season the circus had

112
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 4: to cancel because that was just gonna be too much.

113
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 3: That's too much. And here we go.

114
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 4: You're right, Week two, bears here, but you have two

115
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 4: preseason games nooners on August seventeenth and August twenty fourth,

116
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 4: and we can't wait.

117
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:20,359
Speaker 1: I can't wait for that. You've got those two games

118
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:23,279
Speaker 1: to finish preseason at home. Then you're on the road,

119
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:26,599
Speaker 1: but you're inside at Indy, then you're home, then you're

120
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 1: on the road at Minnesota inside, and then you're at

121
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:32,840
Speaker 1: home for two for two. So you've got these two

122
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 1: outdoor games and then you go inside over thirteen.

123
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:39,720
Speaker 4: I haven't I know you memorized the schedule, and people

124
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 4: would think that I do too, but I really don't.

125
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:44,040
Speaker 3: I only have the first three down in.

126
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 1: This year's It's funny because I don't know. I think

127
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 1: it's Jags Week four, Bills week five. I've got it

128
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 1: kind of backwards in some sense. The first two games

129
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 1: we go back outside is the Patriots and Packers.

130
00:05:56,520 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 4: Okay, so it's Vikings week three, Week four, it's the

131
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:05,159
Speaker 4: Jags here, Bill's here week five. Then the patriotscks in

132
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 4: October thirteenth.

133
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:07,600
Speaker 3: Yes, guess what all.

134
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 4: I can't believe I just sort of inhaled like that,

135
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 4: showing my excitement the peak foliage season.

136
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:14,920
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, peak.

137
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:17,840
Speaker 1: Peak, and you know, like if you've never seen it,

138
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:22,279
Speaker 1: I remember my my sophomore year, we went to holy Cross.

139
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 3: How was that brown? We went to holy Cross?

140
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 1: Yes, and we drove field bus and so we bust

141
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 1: over and it was week three. So for us, that

142
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:35,600
Speaker 1: was probably the first or second week in October. Yeah,

143
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 1: because we in the IVY League.

144
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 2: You don't play your first game until like the twentieth

145
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 2: somewhere in there, and.

146
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 3: Then you're done by October thirty.

147
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:43,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, you played tenth straight games and you're done at

148
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 1: that time. Now they might be a bye week now,

149
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:47,920
Speaker 1: but either way. And we're driving and I'm just like

157
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 1: I've loved for a long time, and that's Denico Autry.

158
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 3: Denico Autry unfortunately, has.

159
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 1: Been suspended six games for violating the league's substance abuse policy.

160
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 1: Deniko gave a statement, long statement and basically said that

161
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 1: he was stunned to see this result as a positive result.

162
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 1: He said he's never used performance enhancing drugs before. He

163
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 1: has given consideration to, you know, taking legal action and

164
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 1: seeing what can happen. But as it sits right now,

165
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 1: if it's upheld, Denico Autre will missed the first six

166
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 1: which that's why I said that came against the Packers

167
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 1: becomes that much more important because that could be his

168
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 1: first game of the season at twenty twenty four. Not

169
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 1: really much we can add to this. We don't know

170
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 1: beyond what this could mean. I said it at the time.

171
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 1: I probably said it during the show. I remember talking

172
00:07:56,520 --> 00:08:00,080
Speaker 1: about when Jerry Hughes got signed and I thought, okay,

173
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 1: do this why they why did we do this? Well

174
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 1: today we kind of got our answer. But I'll tell

175
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 1: you this, Jerry has been a superstar at camp. Like

176
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 1: he came in, he came in great shape, does not

177
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 1: look like a fifteen year veteran. And it's six games,

178
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:17,080
Speaker 1: it's not the full year. And like our texted our

179
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:21,440
Speaker 1: Texans Radio crew in Indianapolis, Samson Ebucom done for the

180
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 1: year towards Achilles. Yeah, so it's bad news for both teams.

181
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 1: But we can get Denico back week seven. They're not

182
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 1: going to get Ebucom back at all this year. So

183
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 1: it's tough news. It's really there's not a ton to

184
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:37,320
Speaker 1: react to other than Okay, how do we go about

185
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:39,959
Speaker 1: the next the first six weeks without a guy like

186
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:41,200
Speaker 1: Dannie Gaudry.

187
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 4: Well he doesn't count on the roster correct for the

188
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:47,439
Speaker 4: six weeks, right, So all the numbers we've been talking

189
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:50,720
Speaker 4: about on the defensive line, we have an extra spot down, right,

190
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 4: And what has the defensive line been doing in practice?

191
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:54,679
Speaker 3: Riddle me?

192
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:56,480
Speaker 2: This batman dominating?

193
00:08:56,559 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, outstanding performance by them so far in this training camp.

194
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 4: So to say, I'm not worried. Look, you want to

195
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:04,280
Speaker 4: have Deniko Autry.

196
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:04,839
Speaker 3: I get it that.

197
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:08,040
Speaker 4: Mf or Is Nickosario would say, told Sports Radio six

198
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 4: ten that, and we want to see him play. We do,

199
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 4: and he can kind of occupy two spots with one

200
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:17,680
Speaker 4: because he plays outside and inside the D line.

201
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:18,959
Speaker 3: But it is what it is. You're going to deal

202
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 3: with it.

203
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:21,840
Speaker 4: And I think the guys on the inside have been

204
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 4: doing really well. Now we'll see how it goes against

205
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 4: the Colts and Bears and the rest of it.

206
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 3: But man, Mario Edwards, he's been looking pretty good.

207
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:34,640
Speaker 4: Markasi as long as he doesn't step on the quarterbacks good,

208
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:38,720
Speaker 4: it's pretty good. These guys are getting through. I enjoy

209
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:43,079
Speaker 4: watching them play. And obviously Will and Daniel. Listen, if

210
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 4: there's a player whose name starts with D who has

211
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:49,720
Speaker 4: to sit on that D line, I'd rather have it

212
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:52,719
Speaker 4: be Denico than Daniel. And as much as we want

213
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:56,680
Speaker 4: Deniko out there, but it'll work itself out. You have, oh,

214
00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 4: Derek Barnett as well. Yeah, absolutely, other meat.

215
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 1: And it's funny because at times you start to forget

216
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:04,800
Speaker 1: once you start go through and I'm forgetting somebody. Oh yeah,

217
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 1: Derek Barnett, Oh yeah, Jerry Hughes. You have guys that

218
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:11,440
Speaker 1: can play inside and out. I think the one thing

219
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:15,680
Speaker 1: we saw during practice at certain points where you know,

220
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 1: we saw with the Titans too, we saw with the Colts.

221
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:18,760
Speaker 3: When Deniko's with the.

222
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 1: Colts, Audrey jumps inside and he's a monster a Jewice

223
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 1: Scruggs was asked about him, He's like, man, we had

224
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 1: some battles and there was one sack that Denko got,

225
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:30,320
Speaker 1: you know, right over Juice just kind of hit him

226
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 1: with a double swipe arm over boom. He's at the

227
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:34,920
Speaker 1: quarterback and I mean, that's Juice, I think playing in

228
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 1: his what fourth game, not even I think it's maybe

229
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:40,200
Speaker 1: his fourth game. He had been playing and now he

230
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 1: gets to face then Eco Autry. That's what you miss

231
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 1: this guy, I think is that inside rush because he's

232
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 1: a monster in there.

233
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 4: But you'll get him back. And where's the schedule. The

234
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 4: toughest down the steit.

235
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 3: That's exactly right.

236
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:53,920
Speaker 4: Not that it's easy, that's exactly never easy, but it's

237
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:56,559
Speaker 4: really tough down to stretch, and you'll have a fresher

238
00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:59,200
Speaker 4: Denico Autrey when he comes back. I'm looking at all

239
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:02,040
Speaker 4: the positives. It's same hard to pull positives out of this,

240
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 4: don't get me wrong. And he's got good company. I

241
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:05,800
Speaker 4: mean some of the best players in the history of

242
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:09,320
Speaker 4: this franchise have suffered the same fate for different reasons.

243
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 4: Didn't Dwayne fight his He had some bad beef and

244
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:16,440
Speaker 4: made like that was never gonna win, but it did.

245
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 5: It did.

246
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:19,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, he got exonerated for and I don't.

247
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:23,120
Speaker 1: Know I've ever seen appeal in any of those situations,

248
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:25,280
Speaker 1: ever come up with a positive other than what Dwayne,

249
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:27,560
Speaker 1: other than what Dwayne had done.

250
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:30,320
Speaker 4: So I mean, look, when I was having steak in

251
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:32,640
Speaker 4: Mexico recently, I thought, am I getting fortified?

252
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 5: Here?

253
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:35,720
Speaker 3: Am I getting? Think about it? Some good stuff here?

254
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 2: Oh man, Mark Vandermier out for PDEs FORST six games?

255
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 4: Oh Man, listen, they they'll test me positive for coffee,

256
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:46,200
Speaker 4: A lot of it for sure. No running and hiding

257
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 4: from the caffeine test.

258
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, that's that's true.

259
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 1: Thoughts practice day number nine, I'll kick it off, give

260
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 1: you a second to think. The offense was better, not great,

261
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 1: but better than it had been the last few days. Again,

262
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:04,079
Speaker 1: and I don't know, I know that I said this

263
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 1: during Texas training camp live. You know, one thing to

264
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:09,560
Speaker 1: consider and sometimes even I forget, Like every time they

265
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 1: do one of these team periods, there's a like, today's

266
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 1: team period's kind of obvious when they put the ball

267
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:15,440
Speaker 1: to twenty, you're like, oh, this is red zone work.

268
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:17,960
Speaker 1: But sometimes it's not as obvious in periods two and

269
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 1: three when it kind of spot the ball and it's like, oh,

270
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 1: they're working on third down.

271
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 3: You gotta look at the sticks.

272
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 1: You got to look at the sticks because it's like, okay,

273
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:26,439
Speaker 1: well why did he even throw that? You wouldn't do

274
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:28,400
Speaker 1: well first down. You might approach it differently at the

275
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:29,960
Speaker 1: third time. They just put They don't just put the

276
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 1: ball to twenty and just run plays.

277
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:32,720
Speaker 3: There's a there's.

278
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:36,680
Speaker 1: A particular method to the madness that said, whenever they've

279
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 1: gotten to the situation at the end of practice. Today's

280
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:44,200
Speaker 1: situation one minute left, one time out, down by seven. Yeah,

281
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:47,679
Speaker 1: CJ seemed to heat up. First pass, couldn't get it off.

282
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 1: He had too many people in his face. But then

283
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:51,839
Speaker 1: he hits Bred on the out route. He hits No

284
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,200
Speaker 1: on the glance. Right inside, he hits Bred down the

285
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:57,200
Speaker 1: same timeout booms like bang bang bang timeout. Yeah, and

286
00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:01,199
Speaker 1: it's it's like that's where he lives, right in a sense.

287
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:02,600
Speaker 1: He needs it like that.

288
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:05,319
Speaker 4: I hate to say need, but he likes it. No,

289
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:08,320
Speaker 4: he does, like really competitive. Now there's an actual look.

290
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:10,400
Speaker 4: He always wants to move the ball against his defense.

291
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:13,960
Speaker 4: And I've likened it to remember the Titans, except this

292
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:16,439
Speaker 4: is offensive guys and defensive guys, and can they get

293
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:19,760
Speaker 4: along please? Because you had the chippy diess last week.

294
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:21,960
Speaker 4: But You're right, Johnny. When you put the heat on,

295
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:24,720
Speaker 4: the game is on the line, so to speak. He

296
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 4: does rise to the occasion beautifully.

297
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:30,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was really fun to watch. I'll tell you

298
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:32,960
Speaker 1: who else is really standing out to me, by the way,

299
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:34,520
Speaker 1: I want to be clear when I say he does

300
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:37,560
Speaker 1: rise to the occasion. It's not like he's got time

301
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 1: to throw in some of these other instances.

302
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:40,000
Speaker 3: That's the thing.

303
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:43,800
Speaker 4: He's had some frustration there because guys are living in

304
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 4: the backfield today. Mario Edwards, I know we mentioned his

305
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 4: name a few times. He was hello, Hi, CJ, Nice

306
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 4: to meet you. And they have to blow the play

307
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:56,959
Speaker 4: dead or CJ just makes a phantom play. So if

308
00:13:56,960 --> 00:13:58,520
Speaker 4: you give him time, he's going to kill you.

309
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 3: We all know that. But that's the whole object of

310
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 3: this thing.

311
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:04,280
Speaker 4: The defensive line trying to get into the backfield disrupt

312
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 4: the quarterback, no matter who it is.

313
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:07,319
Speaker 1: I'll try and give you a couple of names of

314
00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 1: a guy that we have not seen too much of.

315
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:13,800
Speaker 1: We've seen him, but today was the day that Troy Pride,

316
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:17,240
Speaker 1: Troy Pride Junior made a ton of plays and everyone's saying, who, Yeah,

317
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:20,000
Speaker 1: Troy Pride Junior corner made a couple of really nice

318
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 1: plays on a one on a fade route to Steven

319
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 1: Simsy knocked that away, then he knocked away I think

320
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 1: the last two passes of the practice there on the sideline.

321
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:29,520
Speaker 3: He'll be playing a lot on Thursday too.

322
00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 1: Yes, and you need to keep it on a twenty seven.

323
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:36,120
Speaker 1: He's a big, physical dude. He can play special teams

324
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:38,600
Speaker 1: if you need him to. With guys kind of banged

325
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:40,200
Speaker 1: up a corner a little bit. You know you're not

326
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:43,160
Speaker 1: gonna get Sting playing a ton. My guess is Kamari

327
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:45,120
Speaker 1: last year is going to be on probably the same

328
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:47,200
Speaker 1: pitch count now that Sting is.

329
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 3: I think he's he's risen to that level.

330
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:51,640
Speaker 4: Well, hang on this, I think he's risen to that level.

331
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:53,560
Speaker 4: We could debate this for a long time. I mean

332
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 4: you might be right, but does he get that kind

333
00:14:57,520 --> 00:14:57,840
Speaker 4: of tree?

334
00:14:57,920 --> 00:14:58,120
Speaker 1: Yes?

335
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 4: Wow, he made another played today where you thought, okay, yeah,

336
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:04,840
Speaker 4: Noah Brown. Yeah, you know what it looked like to

337
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 4: me early on in camp it was kind of like

338
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 4: CJ last year, you know, the first time doing something.

339
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:11,040
Speaker 3: Ye yeah, phenomenon.

340
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 4: He gets better as he goes awesome in OTAs at

341
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:16,560
Speaker 4: the end of mini camp early in camp. Good, but

342
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:19,960
Speaker 4: we didn't see what he was doing late in mini camp.

343
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 4: And today you saw the late and mini camp version

344
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:24,640
Speaker 4: of last Yeah, and I want to see more.

345
00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:26,000
Speaker 3: I can't wait for the regular season.

346
00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:28,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think he's on. I think he's on. Uh,

347
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 1: he's on Stingley's Gee Rep count.

348
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 4: I think we don't see him at all Thursdays. I think,

349
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 4: I mean maybe, I don't think maybe for a little bit.

350
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:39,160
Speaker 3: I don't chance. I don't think Stingley on Thursday.

351
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:41,560
Speaker 1: No, you're not sting I don't think you've seeing sting

352
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:43,520
Speaker 1: at all. You might see last er just a little bit,

353
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:45,440
Speaker 1: just to kind of get that first, like dip the

354
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:47,200
Speaker 1: toe in the water, get a little loud, know, just

355
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:50,240
Speaker 1: get just get a little bit. But I'm not playing

356
00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:52,160
Speaker 1: him all that much now with Debiko, Ryans was asked,

357
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:53,000
Speaker 1: are we going to see C. J.

358
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:53,480
Speaker 3: Stroud?

359
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 1: His answer is press conference day was we'll see it

360
00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:57,880
Speaker 1: was it. It was one second, it was like, we'll

361
00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 1: see which we're not. We're not gonna see coach. We'll

362
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:04,480
Speaker 1: handle this one for you. We're not gonna see the

363
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:04,880
Speaker 1: Hall time.

364
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:07,680
Speaker 4: I don't always watch the entirety of the Hall of

365
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:12,360
Speaker 4: Fame Game News flash year breaking news. I can remember

366
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:15,920
Speaker 4: a year where Donovan McNabb was coming back from injury.

367
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:17,840
Speaker 4: This is a long time ago, because I think that

368
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:19,960
Speaker 4: was here. Jeff Garcia played well in the playoffs for

369
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:22,680
Speaker 4: the Eagles. Yeah, Donovan was coming back and they were

370
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:24,200
Speaker 4: in the Hall of Fame game and he played a

371
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:26,640
Speaker 4: full drive and they scored in the Hall of Fame game.

372
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:28,640
Speaker 4: That was five preseason games and he played in the

373
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 4: fifth one. I look, this is I'm going way back.

374
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:34,800
Speaker 4: That's another era. I doubt we see CJ.

375
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:37,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, I doubt we see him. Dimiko did say we'll

376
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:38,840
Speaker 1: see but I don't think we're gonna see him. But

377
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:39,520
Speaker 1: I'm okay with that.

378
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:41,400
Speaker 3: You gotta sell the game for TV and radio.

379
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:43,480
Speaker 1: I mean you do, but it's just you're gonna sell

380
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:46,200
Speaker 1: the one reason you're really gonna sell it that has

381
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 1: nothing to do with any of the players, and that's

382
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 1: the new kickoff rules. So there're gonna be a lot

383
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:50,880
Speaker 1: of people tuned in for that, which is gonna be

384
00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:53,480
Speaker 1: kind of fun. But uh, Kamarian last year, I think

385
00:16:53,640 --> 00:17:00,600
Speaker 1: has has moved his way into that that stratospherict like, man,

386
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:02,800
Speaker 1: we don't even want to mess with this. We don't

387
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:04,760
Speaker 1: even want to mess with having the opportunity because this

388
00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:08,359
Speaker 1: dude is really really important to his defense, and I

389
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:10,560
Speaker 1: think he has played extremely well, had great breakup of

390
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 1: Noah Brown, Troy Pride Junior had a day Kamari Laster.

391
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:15,840
Speaker 1: I'll give the other rookie some shine too. In the

392
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:18,200
Speaker 1: defensive second and the secondary, you're gonna go a bullet,

393
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:21,000
Speaker 1: came the bullock. Yeah, and impossible not to know, that's

394
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:24,000
Speaker 1: exactly why you said that. Impossible not to notice he's

395
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:25,880
Speaker 1: just making one play after the next mark.

396
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:30,119
Speaker 2: There was a play where Uh Noah was running.

397
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:32,120
Speaker 1: It looked like a deep over route from the left

398
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 1: side going on to the right, and it looked like

399
00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 1: it was man coverage, so CJ thought it was man

400
00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:42,439
Speaker 1: or may have thought that, but he Noah had a

401
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:46,760
Speaker 1: step on the defender, but it was heading in kind

402
00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:49,840
Speaker 1: of a deeper direction instead of kind of on a

403
00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:52,719
Speaker 1: on a straight across. You know, if he's running straight across

404
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:55,680
Speaker 1: on the on the crosser, then CJ's probably got a

405
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:58,959
Speaker 1: way he could laser that to him. But because of

406
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:01,639
Speaker 1: the way the angle which the defender and Noah running,

407
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:04,080
Speaker 1: CJ had to float it kind of to a spot

408
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:06,480
Speaker 1: where Noah could run into it right, Well, is that

409
00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:08,000
Speaker 1: balls in the air. I'm like, oh, there's Noah, but

410
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:09,640
Speaker 1: I can see how the crom I'm like, oh boy,

411
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:12,440
Speaker 1: there's Kaylin and you talk about close ground.

412
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:15,320
Speaker 3: In a hurry. Oh yeah, holy smokes and bang bang

413
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:18,679
Speaker 3: no flag have no flag there? Yeah, PBu great play.

414
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:22,359
Speaker 1: I'm like I started immediately in my in my mind,

415
00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:25,879
Speaker 1: I just went I flashed back, like what safety in

416
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:29,360
Speaker 1: Texans history could have made that play? Just breaking out

417
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:33,320
Speaker 1: of nowhere, just breaking the football? And I thought maybe Tyron,

418
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:37,640
Speaker 1: just because Tyrone was was really transitionally quick and could

419
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 1: have made that play and he would have anticipated it too,

420
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:41,720
Speaker 1: But there weren't a lot of safeties that would have

421
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:44,720
Speaker 1: just had the physical, flat out just speed to be

422
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 1: able to get.

423
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 2: To that ball and then knock it away and not

424
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:48,680
Speaker 2: PI and not and not interfere.

425
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:48,920
Speaker 5: Yeah.

426
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:53,280
Speaker 1: Absolutely So for forty one fourteen forty one, those two

427
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:57,200
Speaker 1: around each other a lot, and they know each other

428
00:18:57,359 --> 00:19:00,760
Speaker 1: from their offseason before the last season, and they are

429
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:02,200
Speaker 1: both they're both making plays.

430
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:04,160
Speaker 2: I can't wait to see those guys on Thursday.

431
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:05,600
Speaker 3: You know, had some moments today?

432
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:08,280
Speaker 4: Who has been having some moments And it's one of

433
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:12,840
Speaker 4: those things where it doesn't sound sexy, but he's very

434
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:17,160
Speaker 4: useful for this football team. Daria gon Boole, Absolutely, yes,

435
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:19,679
Speaker 4: I just don't see any way he's not on the team.

436
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:22,480
Speaker 4: He's gonna be here. And they signed him relatively late,

437
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:25,160
Speaker 4: didn't they. It was kind of late. Well it was later, Yeah,

438
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:28,880
Speaker 4: it was later, And I just see him flash. Here's

439
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:32,439
Speaker 4: another one, Jawar Jordan. I cannot wait to see him

440
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:36,080
Speaker 4: run in a preseason context and maybe regular season. We'll

441
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:38,120
Speaker 4: see how it goes in the preseason. But he sees

442
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 4: some running here at camp where you say, ooh, I'd

443
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:44,199
Speaker 4: like to see him get second level and then the

444
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:45,000
Speaker 4: moves he makes.

445
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:47,000
Speaker 3: He's got some twitch, He's got some Yeah.

446
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:49,000
Speaker 2: You want to watch him up with yeah, yeah, yeah, Yeah,

447
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:49,800
Speaker 2: he's fun to watch.

448
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:53,280
Speaker 1: He had a run that started left and I don't

449
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:55,800
Speaker 1: know how he saw it, but it was like he

450
00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:58,560
Speaker 1: ran left and then immediately it was like you could

451
00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:01,359
Speaker 1: see the computation going on in mind. He somehow saw

452
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:03,960
Speaker 1: this lane to the right, and in that lane to

453
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:06,240
Speaker 1: the right, it literally was a lane such that he

454
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:07,639
Speaker 1: could take it and all go all the way to

455
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 1: the end zone. And as he did, he kind of

456
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:11,800
Speaker 1: stopped boom cut back. I don't even he STUDI didn't

457
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:15,199
Speaker 1: really stop. He just ran cut and go. And as

458
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:16,840
Speaker 1: he was running to the end zone, Joe Mixon had

459
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:19,199
Speaker 1: been on the sideline because the offense was on our sideline.

460
00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:21,359
Speaker 1: Joe Mixon took off for the end zone so he

461
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:22,399
Speaker 1: could celebrate.

462
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:22,400
Speaker 3: With his guy.

463
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:25,040
Speaker 1: I thought that was really really cool to see the

464
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:28,560
Speaker 1: veterans do those things really pump up the young players

465
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:31,280
Speaker 1: or rookie like Jauar Jordans. So to me, that running

466
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:34,240
Speaker 1: back position is going to be really really fun to

467
00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:39,160
Speaker 1: watch this, you know. And I this is gonna sound strange,

468
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:41,320
Speaker 1: but I kind of feel like the best thing that happened

469
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:43,000
Speaker 1: was Joe getting banged up a little bit, so these

470
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:44,720
Speaker 1: guys could kind of step up a little bit.

471
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:46,960
Speaker 2: And get more reps. British Brooks has gotten more reps.

472
00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 1: Cam Akers is starting to kind of find a little

473
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:51,080
Speaker 1: bit of a groove and that's been kind of nice.

474
00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:52,640
Speaker 1: But Jamar Jordan has kind of been the one that's

475
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:54,680
Speaker 1: benefited in some sense the most because he kind of

476
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:58,440
Speaker 1: bridges the gap with Davis Mills reps and with Tim

477
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 1: Boyle reps. So he's kind of with the two's with

478
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:04,080
Speaker 1: the threes kind of going back and forth, but he was.

479
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:08,200
Speaker 1: He was definitely present on on much today.

480
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:12,760
Speaker 3: Monday. Yeah, yeah, it's Monday. It's Monday. Yeah, I'm feeling Monday.

481
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:14,960
Speaker 4: And by the way, you mentioned Boyle case Keenum he's

482
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:17,240
Speaker 4: got probably a little something. I don't know what it is,

483
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:19,439
Speaker 4: but he's missed a couple of practices here, and you

484
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:23,000
Speaker 4: know he'll be good. But I don't expect him to

485
00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:24,840
Speaker 4: play based on that, but you never know.

486
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:27,120
Speaker 1: So you go Mills and half boil half. I feel

487
00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 1: good about that. That'd be fun.

488
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:31,760
Speaker 4: I'm fine with that. But again, I had four quarterbacks

489
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:33,679
Speaker 4: and now I don't want to play CJ. And if

490
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:35,879
Speaker 4: I don't have Case available, I'm down to two sure,

491
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:38,000
Speaker 4: and I don't like that. I know I don't see

492
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:39,800
Speaker 4: Dary playing quarterback in the fourth floor.

493
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 1: Darry could, if there's somebody that could, would definitely take

494
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 1: some shotgun snaps and start firing. Now, Darry would also

495
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:49,280
Speaker 1: throw the ball a couple of times, just to let

496
00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 1: everybody know you could do it, because he Darr's the best,

497
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:56,400
Speaker 1: because he's got that kind of quiet confidence. If you said, Darry,

498
00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:58,160
Speaker 1: could you go play quarterback for a game, You're like, yeah,

499
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 1: of course, yeah, of course, I mean I could do it.

500
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:01,680
Speaker 1: You don't think I could do it? Like, no, no, no,

501
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:03,440
Speaker 1: we're not saying that, like we think you could.

502
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:05,240
Speaker 4: He's like, yeah, you know what should have been the

503
00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:08,399
Speaker 4: fun game or a fun game just as a spectacle

504
00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:11,320
Speaker 4: that Broncos game during COVID when they had no quarterbacks

505
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:13,120
Speaker 4: and they were trying to sign who are they trying

506
00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:15,119
Speaker 4: to sign one of the scout team I don't know,

507
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:17,160
Speaker 4: scouting department members or something.

508
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:21,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, but they they ended up with a wide receiver. Yeah,

509
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:23,480
Speaker 1: I can't remember his name now. They ended up taking

510
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:25,640
Speaker 1: his wristband to the Hall of Fame and he was like,

511
00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:28,159
Speaker 1: oh of nine throwing the football, but they just had

512
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 1: to put him in there and he I mean the

513
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:32,080
Speaker 1: fact that he actually survived. I think he was a

514
00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:34,720
Speaker 1: wide receiver from Wake Forest. If I remember that name

515
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:39,400
Speaker 1: is leaving me. But uh, that was that was fine. Yeah,

516
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 1: his his wrist brand, his wristband ended up going to

517
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:42,400
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame.

518
00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:45,560
Speaker 3: Give him five plays, coach Boone. It's like Nova King,

519
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:48,200
Speaker 3: just give it, Just run the option, just run the option.

520
00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:49,600
Speaker 3: Nobody will know how to stop it.

521
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:52,680
Speaker 1: Speaking of stopping the option, well, the tight ends aren't

522
00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:54,200
Speaker 1: going to stop the option, but they are an option

523
00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:55,120
Speaker 1: in the passing game.

524
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:56,800
Speaker 3: We broke down the tight ends this morning.

525
00:22:56,840 --> 00:22:58,640
Speaker 1: We'll have that for you next right here on Texans

526
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:02,200
Speaker 1: All accessybody walking back to money edition of Texans All

527
00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:05,160
Speaker 1: Access from the only at Texans Radio studio. I'm your host,

528
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:09,840
Speaker 1: John Harris, football analyst, sideline reporter for your Houston Texans.

529
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:14,840
Speaker 1: And not sure whether you heard the news today, and

530
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 1: that was that the Texans had another practice, of course,

531
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:22,399
Speaker 1: but that wasn't the real news. The real news was

532
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:25,480
Speaker 1: the Texans announced a multi year partnership with McDonald's.

533
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:27,320
Speaker 3: This is gonna be awesome.

534
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:29,639
Speaker 1: During the twenty twenty four seasons, fans can expect to

535
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:31,919
Speaker 1: score off the field when the Texans score on the field.

536
00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:35,479
Speaker 1: In a promotion called past the McNuggets, the first passing

537
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:39,200
Speaker 1: touchdown of each Texans game, fans can score a free

538
00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:42,800
Speaker 1: six piece chicken McNuggets in the McDonald's app with the

539
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:46,600
Speaker 1: purchase a one dollar or more. Promotion is year round

540
00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:50,800
Speaker 1: during all home and away games. So throw a touchdown

541
00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:52,960
Speaker 1: and doesn't you have to be CJ could be Joe Mixon.

542
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:55,600
Speaker 1: Joe Mixon has as many touchdowns throwing at a Super Bowl,

543
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:59,560
Speaker 1: as Joe Burrow does. Love this partnership with McDonald's, so

544
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:03,560
Speaker 1: appreciate everybody getting that done. So McNuggets can be in

545
00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:08,840
Speaker 1: hands after wins, after touchdowns, passing touchdowns in particular, it's.

546
00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:10,080
Speaker 3: Gonna be awesome stuff.

547
00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:12,000
Speaker 1: Also awesome stuff is the fact that some of the

548
00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:14,919
Speaker 1: tight ends might partake in all that they might be

549
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:19,200
Speaker 1: the first ones to score and get you free chicken McNuggets.

550
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:22,120
Speaker 2: So let's break them down. Well I did right here.

551
00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:22,920
Speaker 3: Take a listen.

552
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:25,960
Speaker 4: Okay, let's get to this. We promised it and got

553
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:28,280
Speaker 4: sidetracked a little bit, but it's always productive because we're

554
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:31,119
Speaker 4: talking about things very relevant, especially to Thursday night. This

555
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:32,520
Speaker 4: is the first time we're going to see the kickoff

556
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:34,520
Speaker 4: rule in action. On Thursday night. The whole league's going

557
00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:36,800
Speaker 4: to be watching to see how the Texans and Bears

558
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:39,040
Speaker 4: handle this and what the results are. And I was

559
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:41,800
Speaker 4: talking to the officiating crew on Saturday in the cafeteria

560
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:46,320
Speaker 4: here and they said, yup, there's no doubt that game's

561
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:48,520
Speaker 4: gonna get a lot of attention. And I was asking

562
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:50,840
Speaker 4: them everything I wanted to know about the kickoff rule,

563
00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:53,680
Speaker 4: but we're afraid to ask Okay, let's do this now,

564
00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:59,040
Speaker 4: tight ends for your Houston Texans, breaking down their group

565
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:02,640
Speaker 4: as it's not a huge group, but it's a good group,

566
00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:04,200
Speaker 4: and I'm gonna start with the guy that doesn't get

567
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:07,800
Speaker 4: a lot of ink. Dalton Keene Johnny, second year of

568
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:11,600
Speaker 4: Virginia Tech, twenty five years old, six four, two fifty.

569
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:12,960
Speaker 3: What are you thinking.

570
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:15,480
Speaker 1: I was having a good start to camp, was making

571
00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:18,479
Speaker 1: himself available to all the quarterbacks and they and they

572
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:20,560
Speaker 1: were going to him. Case was throwing in the ball

573
00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:22,360
Speaker 1: like two and three times in a row one day,

574
00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:24,640
Speaker 1: and he was throwing the.

575
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:28,280
Speaker 2: Ball regularly, and then he was out. He is not

576
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:29,360
Speaker 2: a practice one day.

577
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:32,040
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's an injury or if that's

578
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:35,680
Speaker 1: a veteran rest day. I would imagine guys that might

579
00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:38,000
Speaker 1: think they're on the bubble would want a veteran rest day,

580
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:39,520
Speaker 1: but maybe it was I don't know.

581
00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:41,040
Speaker 3: I hope he's not hurt because.

582
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:43,960
Speaker 4: I think he's got something he's got Hopefully it's not bad.

583
00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:46,520
Speaker 1: He's got that dual threat ability to play your fullback

584
00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:48,439
Speaker 1: spot to be a title. He's more tight end than

585
00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:51,119
Speaker 1: he is full back, but I like the fact that

586
00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:51,920
Speaker 1: he can play both.

587
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:53,480
Speaker 3: You could do some different things with him.

588
00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:56,320
Speaker 1: He's got some athletic ability after he catches the football.

589
00:25:57,240 --> 00:25:59,120
Speaker 1: This is gonna be a really tough nut to crack

590
00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:00,680
Speaker 1: with tight ends. I've been thinking about this since I

591
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:03,520
Speaker 1: realized we were talking about this. How many tight ends

592
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:06,679
Speaker 1: do you end up keeping? Because let's just go back

593
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:09,679
Speaker 1: to we were talking about the janitor ben' skernick. What

594
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:11,879
Speaker 1: if you know that Ben can play full back if

595
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:14,880
Speaker 1: you need it. You know last year Brevin Jordan gave

596
00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:18,040
Speaker 1: you those full back reps. If Andrew is banged up

597
00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:20,919
Speaker 1: for a game. Do you just keep this you know

598
00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:23,920
Speaker 1: what roster you have and not not bring up Dalton.

599
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:24,760
Speaker 3: Keene, Like, how do you handle that?

600
00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:26,480
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be really interesting to watch how

601
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:27,600
Speaker 1: that goes down for this roster.

602
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:30,520
Speaker 4: Well with Brev, and Brev's on this team. In my opinion,

603
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:31,640
Speaker 4: you're keeping at least three.

604
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:32,520
Speaker 3: Keep it at least three.

605
00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:37,480
Speaker 4: So you got Schultz, Brev Stover right, So those are

606
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:38,000
Speaker 4: your guys.

607
00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:41,560
Speaker 3: But Keen here's what stinks for Keen.

608
00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:43,960
Speaker 4: No matter where he is, whether it's here or somewhere else,

609
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:45,680
Speaker 4: he's got to play in these preseason games.

610
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:47,639
Speaker 3: So he can ill afford any kind of injury.

611
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:50,159
Speaker 4: We'll see if he's practicing today, because Thursday night, I

612
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:52,080
Speaker 4: would think you'd play three quarters.

613
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:52,160
Speaker 3: In that game.

614
00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:54,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know you don't want to play brev a

615
00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:56,840
Speaker 4: Ton in that game, certainly not Schultz.

616
00:26:57,000 --> 00:27:00,400
Speaker 1: And you want back at full back, so right would

617
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:02,879
Speaker 1: get a lot of reps. And if you don't have

618
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:04,119
Speaker 1: keere's the other side of it.

619
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:04,800
Speaker 3: If you don't have.

620
00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:08,800
Speaker 1: Keen, is that limited then obviously those you know who's

621
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:11,120
Speaker 1: kidding those? I mean, is it all Troy at full

622
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:12,640
Speaker 1: back the whole the whole time.

623
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:15,040
Speaker 4: Well, since we're on the subject of tight end, which

624
00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:17,320
Speaker 4: bleeds in the full back with the h back stuff,

625
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:20,800
Speaker 4: there's a guy on this roster that you thought could

626
00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:23,520
Speaker 4: play some full back. Certainly not tight end, I would think,

627
00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:26,640
Speaker 4: but British Brooks, rookie running back from North Carolina, could

628
00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:27,919
Speaker 4: he play some fullback for you?

629
00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:29,120
Speaker 3: Especially Thursday night?

630
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:31,719
Speaker 4: And it's the most Texans thing ever to have to

631
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:35,240
Speaker 4: improvise in your offensive sets just to get through a

632
00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:38,960
Speaker 4: fourth preseason game. Here reminds me of Opening Day last

633
00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:41,760
Speaker 4: year when you arrived in Baltimore injured and had to

634
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:43,040
Speaker 4: deal with all sorts of stuff.

635
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:46,880
Speaker 1: Absolutely, British Brooks has been one of the more impressive

636
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:47,960
Speaker 1: running backs in this camp.

637
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:52,719
Speaker 2: He has been very, very good downhill runner. He's powerful.

638
00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:56,240
Speaker 1: I would think if you went to British Brooks and said, look, man,

639
00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:58,400
Speaker 1: I don't know if you're going to make the roster

640
00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:00,000
Speaker 1: this year, look at our running back.

641
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:03,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, however, there's a shot that if.

642
00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:06,919
Speaker 1: You learned how to play full back two, you could

643
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:09,959
Speaker 1: maybe stick around and see what you can do practice squad.

644
00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:12,960
Speaker 1: I think British Brooks would be like, my guess is

645
00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:15,080
Speaker 1: if they said that to me and I knew I

646
00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:17,480
Speaker 1: was an undrafted running back I didn't even start for

647
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:20,440
Speaker 1: North Carolina, I would be like, whatever I have to do,

648
00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:23,280
Speaker 1: I'll do it. So right, I think that's I think

649
00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:26,880
Speaker 1: that's absolutely in the cards with British Brooks thinking about

650
00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:27,520
Speaker 1: playing fullback.

651
00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:30,399
Speaker 2: So you know, Chronic can do it, He's proven he

652
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:30,879
Speaker 2: can do it.

653
00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:32,119
Speaker 3: Could British do it?

654
00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:32,400
Speaker 5: Yeah?

655
00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:33,840
Speaker 3: I think that would be interesting for sure.

656
00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:36,600
Speaker 4: Well, Tigan's gonna play a ton and he's out there

657
00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:40,280
Speaker 4: healthy making plays. We really like him, but you get

658
00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:43,240
Speaker 4: the feeling they're gonna have to keep four if Tigan's

659
00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:47,360
Speaker 4: on the fifty three third year Oregon State All last

660
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:50,680
Speaker 4: year spent it injured and here he is in this

661
00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:53,160
Speaker 4: camp and you know, you like what you see out

662
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:55,520
Speaker 4: of Tiagan. I mean I remember rookie Year catching a

663
00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:59,120
Speaker 4: touchdown pass against the Philadelphia Eagles Thursday night battle Red Knight,

664
00:28:59,480 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 4: all of that.

665
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:01,120
Speaker 3: What do you think of Tigan?

666
00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:02,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think Tigan's come a long way. I think

667
00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:06,160
Speaker 1: he's really improved. And why has he improved because he's.

668
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:07,880
Speaker 3: Here every day the last few years.

669
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:10,240
Speaker 1: Trading camp would be like, well, there's two days and Tegan,

670
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:11,600
Speaker 1: then he's gone for a couple of weeks. Then he

671
00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:13,800
Speaker 1: come back at the end of you know, the end

672
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:16,640
Speaker 1: of a week getting ready for a preseason game, and

673
00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:17,880
Speaker 1: he would play in the preseason game.

674
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:20,480
Speaker 2: You're like, boy, he could be pretty good if he were,

675
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:22,680
Speaker 2: you know, stacking good days. Well, we started to stack

676
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:24,200
Speaker 2: good days and he is.

677
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:27,440
Speaker 1: Even though I think if the Texans went with those

678
00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:31,400
Speaker 1: three tight ends you talked about Stover, Brev Dalton, Stover's

679
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:34,479
Speaker 1: got to be your in line. Why right, well, Teagan

680
00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:37,520
Speaker 1: is is that in line? Why that blocking tight end? Now,

681
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:39,440
Speaker 1: everybody out here you see him catch the football and

682
00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:40,959
Speaker 1: we get excited about that.

683
00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:42,680
Speaker 2: But really Tigan's the.

684
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:44,880
Speaker 1: One guy at the end of the line of scrimmage

685
00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:47,360
Speaker 1: that really can get in a fist fight and win consistently.

686
00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:50,640
Speaker 3: I think Stover could do it eventually, but I don't know.

687
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:52,320
Speaker 1: That he could do that right now Tegan, because he's

688
00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:55,560
Speaker 1: getting better and better. He's so big and physical, he's

689
00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:58,440
Speaker 1: he could be able to do that. To me, you

690
00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:01,160
Speaker 1: either have to do a bunch of bunch of things

691
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:03,160
Speaker 1: pretty well when you're at that point in the roster,

692
00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:06,320
Speaker 1: or you have to do one thing that nobody else

693
00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:08,800
Speaker 1: in the roster can really do. That might be an

694
00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:11,040
Speaker 1: advantage for Tigan that he can do that, that he can,

695
00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:13,080
Speaker 1: at the end of the line screamage go toe to

696
00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:14,000
Speaker 1: toe with defensive ends.

697
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:15,280
Speaker 3: Now, he's not gonna win all of.

698
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:18,000
Speaker 1: Those, right, but he can get in that fistfight and

699
00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:20,560
Speaker 1: have an opportunity to give the text and something on an.

700
00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:21,320
Speaker 3: Outside run game.

701
00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:25,000
Speaker 1: So that might be what separates Hegan from all these

702
00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:26,720
Speaker 1: other tight ends and give him a chance to be

703
00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:29,080
Speaker 1: on be a four man tight end group.

704
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:33,840
Speaker 4: Nobody else has the body tight end wise on this team.

705
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:36,960
Speaker 4: I mean, he's he's I Van Drago, right, He's the

706
00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:38,480
Speaker 4: six six two sixty.

707
00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:40,400
Speaker 3: That's Jigantriano.

708
00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:44,320
Speaker 4: All right, Let's get to the rookie Kate Stover Ohio State.

709
00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:46,320
Speaker 3: Where you're seeing so far six four, two fifty.

710
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:49,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's catching the ball really well, and I like

711
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:51,520
Speaker 1: seeing that he's been in a competition almost every day

712
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:54,480
Speaker 1: with Kaylen Bullock. Those two going out of those two rookies,

713
00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:56,840
Speaker 1: that's fun to watch because that's the future of this team.

714
00:30:57,240 --> 00:31:00,000
Speaker 1: He can play the in line? Why he can be physical?

715
00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:03,000
Speaker 1: He is physical, He's got some technique work. He only

716
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:05,120
Speaker 1: played a couple of years of tight end, and he

717
00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:10,200
Speaker 1: was used at Ohio State partially moving partially in line,

718
00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:13,520
Speaker 1: so he's got some experience and he's got a gain

719
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:17,080
Speaker 1: before you feel one thousand percent confident that he's gonna

720
00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:18,760
Speaker 1: be the in line. Why And that goes back to

721
00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:22,440
Speaker 1: one other question too, Mark, is how valuable is that

722
00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:25,320
Speaker 1: to this team? How valuable is it to have a

723
00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:27,040
Speaker 1: tight end that you know you can stick at the

724
00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:29,400
Speaker 1: end of the line of scrimmage and really go win

725
00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:31,600
Speaker 1: consistently in the blocking game.

726
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:33,520
Speaker 2: I mean, maybe that's not hugely important to them.

727
00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:35,040
Speaker 1: Maybe they want to be a little bit more level

728
00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:36,440
Speaker 1: personnel with the receivers they have.

729
00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:39,360
Speaker 4: I don't know, I got to protect the quarterback exactly.

730
00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:43,120
Speaker 1: So Kid can do that. He's got to work on

731
00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:45,240
Speaker 1: his technique. Things have got to get cleaned up. But

732
00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:50,880
Speaker 1: he's physical, farm farm kid. He understands the work ethic

733
00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:54,120
Speaker 1: it's gonna take. He is competitive and as we talk

734
00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:55,960
Speaker 1: about that is he dalkt keen over in short. So

735
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:57,320
Speaker 1: it looks like he's not gonna be a back by.

736
00:31:57,360 --> 00:31:58,960
Speaker 3: That's tough. So I hate that for him.

737
00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:02,040
Speaker 4: Mark teaking down for three and a half quarters on

738
00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:05,000
Speaker 4: Thursday night at this rate, and you know their pads today,

739
00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:06,920
Speaker 4: So stay healthy today, folks.

740
00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:08,360
Speaker 3: This is game week Thursday.

741
00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:09,719
Speaker 4: As I said, I know, I make fun of all

742
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:12,640
Speaker 4: the days and everything, but game week Thursday. You play

743
00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:15,480
Speaker 4: Thursday night and you don't want to play your starters

744
00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:18,360
Speaker 4: in that game, and you have to get through four

745
00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:20,600
Speaker 4: quarters of football. I mean, this is war of attrition

746
00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:24,960
Speaker 4: stuff right here. Preseason. You got to survive it. Stay upright,

747
00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:25,480
Speaker 4: all right.

748
00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:28,640
Speaker 3: Next one, let's get to our guy. We love him.

749
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:33,280
Speaker 4: Brevin Jordan makes plays, make it plays out here looks

750
00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:35,160
Speaker 4: and by the way back to Stover for a moment.

751
00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:38,160
Speaker 4: I use the basketball coach terminology here. He looks like

752
00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:42,000
Speaker 4: he belongs. Yes, he was absolutely true, But Revin Jordan

753
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:44,840
Speaker 4: to me, really belongs two forty five, six y three.

754
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:47,000
Speaker 4: We saw the big plays last year, seeing big plays

755
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:47,640
Speaker 4: out here at camp.

756
00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:49,600
Speaker 1: Absolutely going back to Stover for one other things, when

757
00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:51,280
Speaker 1: you brought basketball, I thought you were talk about him

758
00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:53,280
Speaker 1: as a basketball player. Oh okay, that was one of

759
00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:55,000
Speaker 1: the things that he did extremely well. In fact, he

760
00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:58,120
Speaker 1: was recruited to be a basketball player. He's got basketball skills,

761
00:32:58,120 --> 00:33:00,640
Speaker 1: he's got the body control, he's got vice cret for hands.

762
00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:03,960
Speaker 1: So Stover's gonna be around his organization for a while.

763
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:06,240
Speaker 1: The fact he got to the fourth round is absolutely lucky.

764
00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:08,040
Speaker 1: I mean, that was his luck that we were able

765
00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:09,400
Speaker 1: to get him in the fourth round. I think he's

766
00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:12,280
Speaker 1: gonna end up being a guy that can stick around.

767
00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:13,440
Speaker 3: And do some great things for this team.

768
00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:15,960
Speaker 1: So Brevin Jordan was a guy that we thought in

769
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:17,360
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one could do those things.

770
00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:20,360
Speaker 2: Now he's not as physical as Stover. But what we

771
00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:22,880
Speaker 2: realized last year, we talked to him the offseason about this.

772
00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:25,800
Speaker 1: He played fullback in that game against the Tennessee Tides

773
00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:28,840
Speaker 1: at home, and he was very comfortable doing that, very

774
00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:31,080
Speaker 1: very comfortable. He caught a pass out of flat made

775
00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:33,400
Speaker 1: something happen. He made a couple of key blocks that

776
00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:34,640
Speaker 1: they asked a full back to make.

777
00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:37,560
Speaker 2: He was very comfortable in that full back position.

778
00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:41,440
Speaker 1: And that's what made me think about all these numbers, like, Okay,

779
00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:43,280
Speaker 1: brev can play the full back.

780
00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:45,080
Speaker 3: So will you keep two full backs?

781
00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:47,400
Speaker 2: Will you keep both Troy and Andrew Man?

782
00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:49,760
Speaker 3: That's tough. I doubt it. I doubt that you're gonna

783
00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:50,000
Speaker 3: do that.

784
00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:53,600
Speaker 1: Well, I almost with one hundred percent doubt it, because

785
00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:56,480
Speaker 1: you've got Brevin. Brevan can play that fullback. He showed

786
00:33:56,520 --> 00:33:58,360
Speaker 1: you he can. He can step in there in that

787
00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:03,239
Speaker 1: full back role, and you don't lose a ton with

788
00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:05,440
Speaker 1: him when he is in that role because he's gonna

789
00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:07,480
Speaker 1: catch the ball out in the flat, as we saw

790
00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:09,240
Speaker 1: in the playoff game, Take Off, make a play.

791
00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:10,400
Speaker 3: He's explosive.

792
00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:13,000
Speaker 1: He's a tight end that when you go twelve personnel

793
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:15,920
Speaker 1: and you've got Dalton Schultzen, you've got brevit Jordan out

794
00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:18,759
Speaker 1: on a field, you're really putting the defense in a

795
00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:21,319
Speaker 1: bind because Bobby will run out of that formation, out

796
00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:23,960
Speaker 1: of that scheme, out of that personnel group. But now

797
00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:25,319
Speaker 1: you've got to try and match up with those two

798
00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:27,279
Speaker 1: tight ends in the passing game, especially if you have

799
00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:29,400
Speaker 1: learned me, so you can just you know, send all

800
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:31,239
Speaker 1: five out and route. You don't have to use either

801
00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:33,279
Speaker 1: one of them to help. Now you've got trouble because

802
00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:35,560
Speaker 1: one of them is getting the linebacker and that's gonna

803
00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:37,400
Speaker 1: be a win for either one of them. So Brevin

804
00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:39,360
Speaker 1: is dynamic. We saw it on that touchdown run. He

805
00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:40,960
Speaker 1: didn't want to talk to us about it anymore.

806
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:41,359
Speaker 3: He was done.

807
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:43,480
Speaker 1: He was moving on because he was more focused on

808
00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:45,680
Speaker 1: this year. So I love what he's been able to

809
00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:48,640
Speaker 1: bring it. Here's the other thing too. We said it

810
00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:52,240
Speaker 1: a few times with the team, Victoriano say, Brevin Jordan.

811
00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:55,520
Speaker 1: Brev's been out here every single day. He's been healthy,

812
00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:58,920
Speaker 1: and there have been periods of where Brev has not

813
00:34:58,960 --> 00:35:01,120
Speaker 1: been one hundred percent healthy throughout his career. But when

814
00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:03,560
Speaker 1: he is at stretches at a time where he's healthy,

815
00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:06,279
Speaker 1: he has been very productive and explosive for this team.

816
00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:09,640
Speaker 4: Two things you hate in sports more than anything else

817
00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:14,239
Speaker 4: other than losses, contract negotiations, and injuries.

818
00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:15,080
Speaker 3: That's it.

819
00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:18,440
Speaker 4: I mean, that's it right there, and injuries put that

820
00:35:18,719 --> 00:35:20,400
Speaker 4: at the top of the power ranking list.

821
00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:22,440
Speaker 3: All right, let's get to him right now.

822
00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:27,600
Speaker 4: Dalton freaking Schultz makes a ton of plays for this

823
00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:28,560
Speaker 4: football team.

824
00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:32,319
Speaker 3: He's back. How's he looking? What are you thinking? Yeah,

825
00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:34,200
Speaker 3: he's he's just so feisty.

826
00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:36,080
Speaker 2: I know everyone's talking about the fight and all that

827
00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:37,040
Speaker 2: kind of stuff, but.

828
00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:42,239
Speaker 1: He's just he's he's tough. He's physically tough. I mean,

829
00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:45,040
Speaker 1: you think about a guy from Stanford and you know,

830
00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:47,640
Speaker 1: a smart guy and you know loves to game and

831
00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:48,160
Speaker 1: do those.

832
00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:48,600
Speaker 3: Kind of things.

833
00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:51,960
Speaker 1: But he's really he's a brilliant dude down on a field.

834
00:35:52,239 --> 00:35:54,080
Speaker 1: He's got a really good connection with CJ.

835
00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:55,680
Speaker 2: And he'll block.

836
00:35:56,560 --> 00:35:58,440
Speaker 1: He doesn't have a lot of as they would say,

837
00:35:58,480 --> 00:35:59,759
Speaker 1: lead in the pencil, but he'll block.

838
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:00,680
Speaker 3: He's meeting.

839
00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:06,239
Speaker 1: He's not as big and physical as Satiguan or even Star. Yeah,

840
00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:08,320
Speaker 1: but that's an old that's.

841
00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:09,680
Speaker 2: Little Southern football coaching.

842
00:36:09,719 --> 00:36:10,440
Speaker 3: Oh is it really?

843
00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:10,759
Speaker 5: Yeah?

844
00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:13,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, he didn't have a lot of lead in his pencil.

845
00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:15,239
Speaker 3: No, No, it just means he's light.

846
00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:15,719
Speaker 5: Good.

847
00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:18,080
Speaker 3: It was light. I was gonna say something else, but no,

848
00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:18,799
Speaker 3: that would be bad.

849
00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:21,439
Speaker 1: No, that's that's a good old uh Southern football coach.

850
00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:24,160
Speaker 1: But Dalton lines up all over the field. You know,

851
00:36:24,239 --> 00:36:26,479
Speaker 1: Dalton has to line up in that fullback role as well,

852
00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:28,799
Speaker 1: so He does some of that too, so you have

853
00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:32,920
Speaker 1: some crossover with that. But he's just such a reliable receiver.

854
00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:35,640
Speaker 1: I know that in the the Visual Playoff round he

855
00:36:35,719 --> 00:36:38,200
Speaker 1: dropped the key pass on the sideline. It would have

856
00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:40,920
Speaker 1: been a big play. So those those things are gonna happen.

857
00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:43,319
Speaker 1: But he typically has vice scripts for hands. He makes

858
00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:46,759
Speaker 1: made a huge play against Tennessee where he ripped a

859
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:49,799
Speaker 1: sure interception away from Roger McCreery. I mean that was

860
00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:51,279
Speaker 1: a huge on I mean, go back and watch that

861
00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:53,120
Speaker 1: game the other day. I'm like, I don't even know

862
00:36:53,120 --> 00:36:55,600
Speaker 1: if we gave that play enough credit. That play was huge.

863
00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:57,520
Speaker 1: He just snatched it away from him and just and

864
00:36:57,600 --> 00:36:59,200
Speaker 1: I talked to him after the game. He was like, yeah,

865
00:36:59,239 --> 00:37:01,319
Speaker 1: I knew I had it the whole because I have

866
00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:01,799
Speaker 1: it the whole way.

867
00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:03,480
Speaker 3: I got I have that at him, and then he does.

868
00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:06,080
Speaker 3: He does. He's got that quality.

869
00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:09,440
Speaker 1: He's got that kind of gameer quality where he is like,

870
00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:12,600
Speaker 1: I'm not backing down from anybody. I don't care who

871
00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:15,840
Speaker 1: you are. I'm gonna go make big plays. Catches, the touchdown,

872
00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:18,200
Speaker 1: the sliding catch against the Cardinals. He has the touchdown

873
00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:21,000
Speaker 1: against the Falcons that should have put them in a

874
00:37:21,160 --> 00:37:24,319
Speaker 1: victory formation at the end of the game. But he

875
00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:27,400
Speaker 1: makes big plays, has the touchdown catch against the Browns

876
00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:29,400
Speaker 1: right before the half to make it twenty four to fourteen.

877
00:37:30,200 --> 00:37:33,280
Speaker 2: Great great stuff from Dalton Showz.

878
00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:34,600
Speaker 1: This is a tight end group that I think is

879
00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:37,720
Speaker 1: as good as it has been in a long time.

880
00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:41,200
Speaker 1: And I can't wait to see if everybody stays healthy.

881
00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:44,000
Speaker 1: And that has not been something that Texas tight ends

882
00:37:44,040 --> 00:37:45,960
Speaker 1: have been able to do, but hopefully this is the year.

883
00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:49,600
Speaker 1: Because they're deep, they're talented. It's a really fun group.

884
00:37:49,640 --> 00:37:51,719
Speaker 2: Tomorrow break down the quarterbacks.

885
00:37:52,080 --> 00:37:52,600
Speaker 3: That'll be it.

886
00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:55,960
Speaker 1: That's it, Well, quarterbacks are specialists, will do that tomorrow.

887
00:37:56,160 --> 00:37:59,359

00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:35,400
Speaker 2: Opportunity to play.

928
00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:38,080
Speaker 1: It's stending the same huddle Landre Johnson for a number

929
00:39:38,080 --> 00:39:39,960
Speaker 1: of years seeing him go into.

930
00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:40,200

00:39:42,040 --> 00:39:43,120
Speaker 1: been around other Hall of Famers.

933
00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:45,520
Speaker 2: What's seeing your guy that is the first one from

934
00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:46,360
Speaker 2: the Texas to go in.

935
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:48,080
Speaker 3: What's that like for you guys with your teammates.

936
00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:50,560
Speaker 6: I mean, just the hard work you know that he

937
00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:55,160
Speaker 6: put in it, you know, and again you know, having

938
00:39:55,200 --> 00:39:58,120
Speaker 6: that type of caliber player and being played with them, Man,

939
00:39:58,160 --> 00:40:01,520
Speaker 6: it's it's phenomenon and all this stuff. I mean, you know,

940
00:40:01,560 --> 00:40:03,600
Speaker 6: I think that you know, away from the wins or

941
00:40:03,640 --> 00:40:05,480
Speaker 6: the losses and all this stuff that I mean, just

942
00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:09,280
Speaker 6: just being in that mention having him as a teammate.

943
00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:11,839
Speaker 6: I mean, andres Man, you know, man, top notch all

944
00:40:11,880 --> 00:40:15,759
Speaker 6: the way around, great community person as well. So man,

945
00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:19,000
Speaker 6: it's great to see him, you know, achieved that on Fred.

946
00:40:19,040 --> 00:40:22,080
Speaker 4: I feel like Andre getting into the Hall brings back

947
00:40:22,680 --> 00:40:25,279
Speaker 4: all the original Texans or Texans from that era because

948
00:40:25,280 --> 00:40:28,120
Speaker 4: I know he's drafted year two of course, but brings

949
00:40:28,160 --> 00:40:31,080
Speaker 4: everybody back and gets everybody in in a way. That

950
00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:34,560
Speaker 4: era of Texans football didn't win as many as you want,

951
00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:37,040
Speaker 4: but there were some sweet wins along the way, and

952
00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:40,280
Speaker 4: Andre just validates all of that getting into the Hall absolutely.

953
00:40:40,360 --> 00:40:43,000
Speaker 6: I mean from the first win against Dallas, you know,

954
00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:45,640
Speaker 6: gave one Sunday Night football. I mean, you know Dre

955
00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:49,319
Speaker 6: coming in the second season, he going to Miami that year,

956
00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:52,120
Speaker 6: him being from Miami and being Miami for the second

957
00:40:52,120 --> 00:40:55,560
Speaker 6: you know season over franchise win as well, so you know,

958
00:40:55,640 --> 00:40:58,560
Speaker 6: all of those things culminate. I mean, Gary Walker, man,

959
00:40:58,719 --> 00:41:01,200
Speaker 6: Jimmy Herndon, I mean, just having those guys and then

960
00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:04,240
Speaker 6: have an opportunity to see them, especially with our Legends

961
00:41:04,239 --> 00:41:06,400
Speaker 6: community and stuff with the Texans is all doing with

962
00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:10,360
Speaker 6: the Legends community and the homecoming events that we have

963
00:41:10,520 --> 00:41:12,239
Speaker 6: and all and stuff. So it's I think it's gonna

964
00:41:12,239 --> 00:41:15,000
Speaker 6: be a great, great, fantastic year. And guess what, Hey,

965
00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:17,600
Speaker 6: we got some good football to watch as well too, So.

966
00:41:18,320 --> 00:41:19,200
Speaker 2: Trey, we're gonna get to that.

967
00:41:19,239 --> 00:41:20,520
Speaker 3: But you got to sell a little bit of a

968
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:23,640
Speaker 3: debate that we've had. We've had like eight.

969
00:41:23,520 --> 00:41:25,640
Speaker 2: Days of rain or nine days straight of rain.

970
00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:27,279
Speaker 3: You watched practice in the rain.

971
00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:30,960
Speaker 2: So would you rather have eighty degrees.

972
00:41:30,520 --> 00:41:32,680
Speaker 1: And a bunch of rain or would you have a

973
00:41:32,760 --> 00:41:35,600
Speaker 1: ninety five degree Houston kind of day for training camp?

974
00:41:36,320 --> 00:41:38,080
Speaker 6: You know when we came in, you know, we had

975
00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:39,720
Speaker 6: coach capers and all this stuff.

976
00:41:39,719 --> 00:41:41,800
Speaker 5: You guys remember those days. We were always out in

977
00:41:41,800 --> 00:41:44,040
Speaker 5: the sun, three o'clock heat in all this stuff.

978
00:41:44,080 --> 00:41:47,319
Speaker 6: So, man, whenever you get that overcast is always good.

979
00:41:47,920 --> 00:41:49,400
Speaker 6: But I mean, I think the way that they're you know,

980
00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:51,680
Speaker 6: doing training him now with the morning practice and I

981
00:41:51,719 --> 00:41:54,319
Speaker 6: think they have a few in the evening as well. Man,

982
00:41:54,360 --> 00:41:56,040
Speaker 6: that's great help to take care of the guys, you know,

983
00:41:56,120 --> 00:41:57,640
Speaker 6: keep him out of the sun. And you know, also

984
00:41:57,680 --> 00:41:59,239
Speaker 6: with the fans. I mean, it's good to see this

985
00:41:59,320 --> 00:42:02,640
Speaker 6: fan fair act. You know, hey in a town on

986
00:42:02,719 --> 00:42:03,320
Speaker 6: Kirby again.

987
00:42:03,960 --> 00:42:06,400
Speaker 4: Fred Werry with US Fred the offensive line had some

988
00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:10,280
Speaker 4: issues with the texansk lin last week. What goes into

989
00:42:10,680 --> 00:42:14,440
Speaker 4: getting those five guys to function well together, to protect

990
00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:17,239
Speaker 4: the quarterback, to get the running game established.

991
00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:19,640
Speaker 3: It's just a different position group where you really have

992
00:42:19,760 --> 00:42:21,680
Speaker 3: to be aligned, maybe more than any other on.

993
00:42:21,640 --> 00:42:23,560
Speaker 6: The team right right, and that all comes through you know,

994
00:42:23,600 --> 00:42:25,319
Speaker 6: the teams mean, I mean, you gotta have kind of

995
00:42:25,280 --> 00:42:27,239
Speaker 6: newity on the offensive line. I mean you're gonna have

996
00:42:27,320 --> 00:42:29,600
Speaker 6: especially during training camp, You're gonna have some using some

997
00:42:29,680 --> 00:42:32,840
Speaker 6: moving chairs. You know, some guys that might not be

998
00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:34,760
Speaker 6: you know, you're veteran guys that might not be practiced.

999
00:42:34,760 --> 00:42:37,040
Speaker 6: So a lot of younger guys, you know, give an

1000
00:42:37,080 --> 00:42:39,359
Speaker 6: opportunity to get the reps and everything and stuff. I mean,

1001
00:42:39,480 --> 00:42:41,239
Speaker 6: just bringing it all together as an offense. It all

1002
00:42:41,280 --> 00:42:44,480
Speaker 6: starts up front. I mean, I think those guys are

1003
00:42:44,680 --> 00:42:46,960
Speaker 6: are definitely you know, on the right track. I mean

1004
00:42:47,239 --> 00:42:52,400
Speaker 6: Titus Laramie shuts, Kenyan Green Juke shrugs. I mean, I

1005
00:42:52,480 --> 00:42:56,360
Speaker 6: even like the what is it full of the rookie

1006
00:42:56,360 --> 00:43:00,400
Speaker 6: from Notre Dame this year, Fish Fisher and all the stuff.

1007
00:43:00,440 --> 00:43:03,400
Speaker 6: So I mean, it all starts front, up front, the

1008
00:43:03,480 --> 00:43:06,440
Speaker 6: veteran leadership, you know, titles and Laramir Breen to the

1009
00:43:06,440 --> 00:43:08,319
Speaker 6: table for those guys to get them all going on

1010
00:43:08,480 --> 00:43:09,200
Speaker 6: in the right track.

1011
00:43:09,280 --> 00:43:11,880
Speaker 1: Fred, how important was it for you or just for

1012
00:43:11,920 --> 00:43:14,600
Speaker 1: an offense lineman at general to be able to say, yeah,

1013
00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:17,160
Speaker 1: I could play left guard and right tackle. I can

1014
00:43:17,239 --> 00:43:19,239
Speaker 1: play guard, I could play center. To be able to

1015
00:43:19,280 --> 00:43:20,880
Speaker 1: play a couple of different positions, Man, you.

1016
00:43:20,920 --> 00:43:23,080
Speaker 6: Gotta be versaal in this game. I mean sucks. I mean,

1017
00:43:23,080 --> 00:43:25,960
Speaker 6: you only we're only addressing what seven seven linemen and

1018
00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:27,960
Speaker 6: all that stuff. So you got your five starters, and

1019
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:29,520
Speaker 6: then you got to, you know, a guy that's got

1020
00:43:29,520 --> 00:43:31,080
Speaker 6: got to be able to play both you know, right

1021
00:43:31,120 --> 00:43:34,799
Speaker 6: tackle and left tackle. And then also you know, you

1022
00:43:34,840 --> 00:43:37,160
Speaker 6: know someone that can play guard in both the guard

1023
00:43:37,160 --> 00:43:38,799
Speaker 6: positions and also a center as well.

1024
00:43:38,920 --> 00:43:42,600
Speaker 3: So all right, what about the practice.

1025
00:43:42,080 --> 00:43:46,080
Speaker 4: Scheduled these days versus your era? You talked about it

1026
00:43:46,160 --> 00:43:49,560
Speaker 4: two a days with kpers and look that wasn't even

1027
00:43:49,600 --> 00:43:52,040
Speaker 4: what it was twenty years before that, right, But these

1028
00:43:52,040 --> 00:43:53,640
Speaker 4: guys have won practice today.

1029
00:43:53,760 --> 00:43:56,279
Speaker 3: It's all collectively bargained. Your thoughts are the way they

1030
00:43:56,360 --> 00:43:57,560
Speaker 3: handle things now. Overall.

1031
00:43:57,640 --> 00:43:59,120
Speaker 6: I mean it's great. I mean that's you know, the

1032
00:43:59,120 --> 00:44:02,040
Speaker 6: loans evity of the game, this sport. I mean, especially

1033
00:44:02,120 --> 00:44:04,000
Speaker 6: coming out here in training camp and all this stuff,

1034
00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:05,680
Speaker 6: and you know, landing on the line, you know, trying

1035
00:44:05,680 --> 00:44:08,439
Speaker 6: to make the fifty three man roster. That's always good.

1036
00:44:08,480 --> 00:44:10,480
Speaker 6: I mean, you know, it's a lot easy. I think

1037
00:44:10,760 --> 00:44:12,440
Speaker 6: a little bit before my time is space. I mean

1038
00:44:12,440 --> 00:44:14,520
Speaker 6: I probably could have played about twelve fifteen years and

1039
00:44:14,520 --> 00:44:16,640
Speaker 6: stuff that the practice schedule was like this and all

1040
00:44:16,640 --> 00:44:17,000
Speaker 6: and stuff.

1041
00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:19,359
Speaker 5: So it's good just to see, you.

1042
00:44:19,320 --> 00:44:21,840
Speaker 6: Know, the collective bargain agreement, you know, good things like

1043
00:44:21,840 --> 00:44:23,759
Speaker 6: that so they can take care of money of these

1044
00:44:23,760 --> 00:44:26,000
Speaker 6: guys and stuff. Hope you see less injuries and different

1045
00:44:26,040 --> 00:44:27,799
Speaker 6: type of things like that coming out of training camp.

1046
00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:30,000
Speaker 2: Trey going to Hall of Fame. I always think about this.

1047
00:44:31,480 --> 00:44:34,560
Speaker 1: Hall of Famer otherwise, who is the guy that when

1048
00:44:34,600 --> 00:44:35,399
Speaker 1: you got ready to.

1049
00:44:35,320 --> 00:44:37,800
Speaker 2: Face that week, You're like, oh, man, this dude.

1050
00:44:38,160 --> 00:44:40,000
Speaker 1: Not that you were ever gonna back down from him,

1051
00:44:40,360 --> 00:44:42,960
Speaker 1: but you just knew for sixty minutes this guy was

1052
00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:46,600
Speaker 1: going to give you an absolute bare knuckle brall fight.

1053
00:44:46,920 --> 00:44:51,480
Speaker 6: Well who was man? Leroy Glover? Lroy Glover played you

1054
00:44:51,480 --> 00:44:53,600
Speaker 6: know that first game. You know, Man, I used to

1055
00:44:53,640 --> 00:44:55,160
Speaker 6: always watch him because I mean I was a former

1056
00:44:55,239 --> 00:44:57,000
Speaker 6: d lineman, so I knew a little bit about him.

1057
00:44:57,239 --> 00:44:59,520
Speaker 6: You know, he played like John Randall. I mean, you

1058
00:44:59,560 --> 00:45:01,720
Speaker 6: talk about somebody that's gonna give it to you every

1059
00:45:01,760 --> 00:45:03,440
Speaker 6: single play and all.

1060
00:45:03,440 --> 00:45:05,000
Speaker 5: It wasn't no, it wasn't no plays off.

1061
00:45:05,120 --> 00:45:06,960
Speaker 6: It wouldn't like hold on, you know, young bug man,

1062
00:45:07,040 --> 00:45:09,600
Speaker 6: let's let's let's get a couple, take a couple right here. Now,

1063
00:45:09,640 --> 00:45:12,920
Speaker 6: He's coming every single play, so I really enjoy you know,

1064
00:45:13,080 --> 00:45:13,799
Speaker 6: even when he was.

1065
00:45:13,760 --> 00:45:16,640
Speaker 5: In New Orleans as well, I really enjoyed playing against him.

1066
00:45:16,760 --> 00:45:20,040
Speaker 4: All right, they talk about iron sharpening iron. I talked

1067
00:45:20,040 --> 00:45:22,399
Speaker 4: about this with Travis a little bit. Hopefully this isn't

1068
00:45:22,480 --> 00:45:25,320
Speaker 4: you by the way, uh he. I asked him about

1069
00:45:25,360 --> 00:45:28,480
Speaker 4: facing the same guy over and over in camp, you'll

1070
00:45:28,520 --> 00:45:31,040
Speaker 4: only face two or three different guys because of the way.

1071
00:45:30,920 --> 00:45:31,920
Speaker 3: The units are lined up.

1072
00:45:31,960 --> 00:45:34,239
Speaker 4: Pretty much, what is it like facing the same guy

1073
00:45:34,320 --> 00:45:38,000
Speaker 4: over and over on your team? It's highly competitive and

1074
00:45:38,080 --> 00:45:40,680
Speaker 4: eventually you got to be teammates. But in camp it's

1075
00:45:40,719 --> 00:45:44,560
Speaker 4: almost adversarial. And I see that between the offensive defensive

1076
00:45:44,640 --> 00:45:47,520
Speaker 4: units here, it's like remember the Titans, except it's offense

1077
00:45:47,640 --> 00:45:48,719
Speaker 4: versus defense, and they.

1078
00:45:48,640 --> 00:45:49,640
Speaker 3: Gotta find a way to get along.

1079
00:45:49,640 --> 00:45:51,520
Speaker 6: Eventually, you know, you're gonna have to go up against

1080
00:45:51,880 --> 00:45:54,400
Speaker 6: one versus one and all this stuff. And you know,

1081
00:45:54,800 --> 00:45:56,600
Speaker 6: I don't know if they still do nine on set

1082
00:45:56,680 --> 00:45:59,160
Speaker 6: in these days, but you know, periods like nine o

1083
00:45:59,320 --> 00:46:02,520
Speaker 6: seven we were you know, man, that's that's that's a

1084
00:46:02,560 --> 00:46:05,240
Speaker 6: game experience and all that stuff just for that that

1085
00:46:05,239 --> 00:46:07,520
Speaker 6: that that period and you know, going against guys like

1086
00:46:07,840 --> 00:46:10,319
Speaker 6: Robert Smith, Gary Walker each and every day, I mean

1087
00:46:10,520 --> 00:46:12,359
Speaker 6: just all we all made each other better.

1088
00:46:13,920 --> 00:46:16,480
Speaker 4: Gary as a teammate must have been a lot of

1089
00:46:16,880 --> 00:46:24,439
Speaker 4: entertainment I've heard. Yeah, yeah, Funk definitely an interesting guy,

1090
00:46:24,560 --> 00:46:26,160
Speaker 4: no doubt about it. But being a part of the

1091
00:46:26,200 --> 00:46:29,040
Speaker 4: Legends committee, Fred, because you are one of them and

1092
00:46:29,640 --> 00:46:32,480
Speaker 4: there's so many good guys, you guys see very tight.

1093
00:46:32,600 --> 00:46:34,680
Speaker 3: You're still a team in many.

1094
00:46:34,480 --> 00:46:37,919
Speaker 6: Ways, absolutely absolutely all the way through. I mean when

1095
00:46:37,920 --> 00:46:41,360
Speaker 6: we had set Steve Legends and rookie social that was

1096
00:46:41,400 --> 00:46:44,440
Speaker 6: some things that we pointed out, Uh to those rookie man,

1097
00:46:44,480 --> 00:46:47,040
Speaker 6: you got to protect that locker room and so uh

1098
00:46:47,080 --> 00:46:48,240
Speaker 6: you know we man.

1099
00:46:48,560 --> 00:46:51,160
Speaker 5: The wins didn't come, you know during that time.

1100
00:46:51,200 --> 00:46:53,719
Speaker 6: But I think, you know, to a team, no one

1101
00:46:53,760 --> 00:46:55,759
Speaker 6: could question, you know, our locker room. I mean we

1102
00:46:55,760 --> 00:46:57,359
Speaker 6: were close knit. I mean we went out there and

1103
00:46:57,360 --> 00:46:59,560
Speaker 6: worked hard. We bust our bus and everything for the

1104
00:46:59,600 --> 00:47:02,359
Speaker 6: team and all this stuff. So man, it's it's it's

1105
00:47:02,400 --> 00:47:03,520
Speaker 6: it's always.

1106
00:47:03,080 --> 00:47:06,320
Speaker 4: Good other than Opening Night against the Cowboys, because that's

1107
00:47:06,320 --> 00:47:08,319
