<v Speaker 4>I'm gonna give you a little preview into this from

0:00:44.920 --> 0:00:49.840
<v Speaker 4>Dalton at Dalton Schultz today, right. I think the world

0:00:49.880 --> 0:00:52.120
<v Speaker 4>of Dalton. I am like one of the biggest fans.

0:00:52.320 --> 0:00:55.080
<v Speaker 4>I just think he's unique. I think he's different. He's

0:00:55.160 --> 0:00:58.520
<v Speaker 4>very sought, super smart and thoughtful. So you know, I've

0:00:58.520 --> 0:01:02.960
<v Speaker 4>been asking guys different questions like, hey, if you could

0:01:02.960 --> 0:01:05.199
<v Speaker 4>have a dinner you and three people dead are alive.

0:01:05.240 --> 0:01:06.000
<v Speaker 3>Who would you pick?

0:01:06.200 --> 0:01:08.880
<v Speaker 4>Tay Urseeries was he picked the Michaels, he picked Michael Jordan,

0:01:08.959 --> 0:01:09.880
<v Speaker 4>Michael Jackson, Michael B.

0:01:10.040 --> 0:01:10.320
<v Speaker 3>Jordan.

0:01:10.400 --> 0:01:12.440
<v Speaker 4>That was a pretty interesting question. So I've been asking.

0:01:12.920 --> 0:01:17.800
<v Speaker 4>I've been I've been asking those questions. Late last night

0:01:18.840 --> 0:01:21.959
<v Speaker 4>another question popped into my head, and I'm so glad

0:01:22.000 --> 0:01:25.480
<v Speaker 4>I asked this because I got one of the best

0:01:25.520 --> 0:01:27.280
<v Speaker 4>answers to a question I've ever gotten.

0:01:28.000 --> 0:01:28.560
<v Speaker 2>Here's a question.

0:01:28.760 --> 0:01:31.520
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, here's my question. If you had to give a

0:01:31.560 --> 0:01:35.679
<v Speaker 4>Ted talk, what would it be? Well, that's easy for me,

0:01:36.200 --> 0:01:38.240
<v Speaker 4>I know, but I asked Dalton. He kind of thought

0:01:38.240 --> 0:01:41.080
<v Speaker 4>for about he thought for about five to ten seconds,

0:01:41.200 --> 0:01:42.760
<v Speaker 4>kind of thinking about it, and then he goes, I

0:01:42.760 --> 0:01:43.200
<v Speaker 4>got it.

0:01:44.080 --> 0:01:46.959
<v Speaker 3>And I think after he answered it, I think he

0:01:47.000 --> 0:01:47.560
<v Speaker 3>would do it.

0:01:48.040 --> 0:01:48.360
<v Speaker 2>What is it?

0:01:48.440 --> 0:01:51.680
<v Speaker 3>I'm not gonna I'm gonna tease it. I'm gonna tease it.

0:01:52.600 --> 0:01:53.440
<v Speaker 3>I'm gonna tease it.

0:01:54.200 --> 0:01:55.720
<v Speaker 4>He came up with it, and then is he You know,

0:01:55.760 --> 0:01:57.120
<v Speaker 4>it's one of those things where when you get an

0:01:57.120 --> 0:01:59.880
<v Speaker 4>idea and then you're talking about it and you're thinking

0:02:00.040 --> 0:02:03.240
<v Speaker 4>and it's well in this and this, he had that

0:02:03.280 --> 0:02:05.760
<v Speaker 4>same kind of reaction. He just lit up when he

0:02:05.800 --> 0:02:08.359
<v Speaker 4>started talking about it, and it was awesome to hear

0:02:08.400 --> 0:02:10.680
<v Speaker 4>his response. So you'll hear that response, and I think

0:02:10.680 --> 0:02:12.799
<v Speaker 4>it's tremendous. I think he should do it. I think

0:02:12.800 --> 0:02:14.959
<v Speaker 4>he this Ted talk would be tremendous because it would

0:02:14.960 --> 0:02:18.960
<v Speaker 4>bring in football into life like all together, like what

0:02:19.040 --> 0:02:20.240
<v Speaker 4>a perfect Ted talk would be.

0:02:20.240 --> 0:02:20.880
<v Speaker 3>It was really good.

0:02:20.960 --> 0:02:23.440
<v Speaker 1>Okay, great answer, looking forward to that interview. You also

0:02:23.480 --> 0:02:25.680
<v Speaker 1>caught up with it with Arianta Ersiri.

0:02:25.560 --> 0:02:27.239
<v Speaker 3>I did yesterday. Yeah, yep, sure, that was good.

0:02:27.360 --> 0:02:29.480
<v Speaker 1>I caught up with Dominique Robinson. All these will be

0:02:29.600 --> 0:02:31.840
<v Speaker 1>on Texans Radio in the next day or two. So

0:02:46.880 --> 0:02:49.320
<v Speaker 1>It's the Chargers and the tech Sins.

0:02:49.560 --> 0:02:50.160
<v Speaker 2>Let's go.

0:02:50.320 --> 0:02:53.160
<v Speaker 1>I can't wait for some NFL action. You're gonna be

0:02:53.160 --> 0:02:55.040
<v Speaker 1>on the TV call, I'll be on the air. It's

0:02:55.040 --> 0:03:01.160
<v Speaker 1>gonna be fun. So let's talk today about practice. Practice. Yes, practice,

0:03:01.200 --> 0:03:03.880
<v Speaker 1>they had another one, the second one in the books.

0:03:04.040 --> 0:03:06.800
<v Speaker 1>This was a little different today. It was interesting to

0:03:06.800 --> 0:03:09.799
<v Speaker 1>see how they operated now. They did back to back

0:03:09.840 --> 0:03:12.840
<v Speaker 1>team periods. Was it the same format today? They just

0:03:13.240 --> 0:03:16.320
<v Speaker 1>as special teams between the two teams. Yesterday I think

0:03:16.320 --> 0:03:19.880
<v Speaker 1>it was pretty similar. But they added a third team period. Okay, good,

0:03:20.120 --> 0:03:22.560
<v Speaker 1>so that was that was added on. I know people

0:03:22.560 --> 0:03:25.520
<v Speaker 1>have been tweeting that Jake Hansen went down today and.

0:03:25.880 --> 0:03:27.920
<v Speaker 2>Just hoping for the best for that.

0:03:28.320 --> 0:03:30.760
<v Speaker 4>I you never know, I'm a huge Jake Hanson fan,

0:03:31.040 --> 0:03:32.320
<v Speaker 4>and I just hated seeing.

0:03:32.120 --> 0:03:34.079
<v Speaker 2>Him down, big Texans radio friend.

0:03:34.280 --> 0:03:35.200
<v Speaker 3>Yes, very much.

0:03:35.240 --> 0:03:38.920
<v Speaker 1>The twenty twenty two season. Yeah, fifth year, Yeah, fifth year.

0:03:39.040 --> 0:03:39.880
<v Speaker 1>Praying for you ja.

0:03:40.160 --> 0:03:41.800
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, so I want to see Jacob back.

0:03:41.800 --> 0:03:45.960
<v Speaker 4>But they added a third team period and one of those,

0:03:46.000 --> 0:03:49.640
<v Speaker 4>if not both of those were red zone periods.

0:03:49.840 --> 0:03:55.040
<v Speaker 3>Yes, I thought today.

0:03:56.680 --> 0:03:59.760
<v Speaker 4>Was And I'll make sure I say this on the

0:03:59.760 --> 0:04:02.080
<v Speaker 4>back of everything was talked about yesterday and everything is

0:04:02.080 --> 0:04:04.880
<v Speaker 4>we talked about this so offseason. I'm telling you, I'm

0:04:04.880 --> 0:04:07.360
<v Speaker 4>not saying this because I'm trying to pump anybody up

0:04:07.440 --> 0:04:09.720
<v Speaker 4>or whatever, but it's the best I've seen CJ. Stroud

0:04:09.760 --> 0:04:11.040
<v Speaker 4>throw the football in a long time.

0:04:11.480 --> 0:04:12.200
<v Speaker 2>Good.

0:04:12.520 --> 0:04:16.280
<v Speaker 4>I thought he threw it extremely well. He had two

0:04:16.360 --> 0:04:20.080
<v Speaker 4>throws in particular that I thought were throws that only CJ.

0:04:20.160 --> 0:04:20.920
<v Speaker 3>Strout could make.

0:04:21.440 --> 0:04:21.760
<v Speaker 5>Nice.

0:04:22.000 --> 0:04:25.360
<v Speaker 4>He made a throw so the team first team period.

0:04:25.400 --> 0:04:27.840
<v Speaker 4>I think it was going left to right on your

0:04:27.920 --> 0:04:31.599
<v Speaker 4>radio dial. And I was standing right in line with

0:04:31.640 --> 0:04:34.200
<v Speaker 4>this throw. And he had Higgins in the out route

0:04:34.400 --> 0:04:39.440
<v Speaker 4>against Sting, and Sting's all over it, like Sting seemingly

0:04:39.920 --> 0:04:43.400
<v Speaker 4>like he has it. Mark Thur's not it is. This

0:04:43.480 --> 0:04:47.960
<v Speaker 4>isn't even NFL open. This is like he's white on rice,

0:04:48.240 --> 0:04:51.400
<v Speaker 4>like Sting is all over it. He's throwing about to

0:04:51.440 --> 0:04:56.080
<v Speaker 4>Higgins and he knows Higgs six' four long. Range he

0:04:56.160 --> 0:04:58.320
<v Speaker 4>threw the ball yard and a half two yards out.

0:04:58.120 --> 0:05:00.400
<v Speaker 2>Of bounds and Let higgs and.

0:05:00.360 --> 0:05:03.160
<v Speaker 4>Let higgins run right into it foot tap bang bang.

<v Speaker 4>thinking you, know he Knows petrie's on, him so he

0:07:56.040 --> 0:07:59.040
<v Speaker 4>knows the ball can't be. Here BUT i there was

0:07:59.080 --> 0:08:01.520
<v Speaker 4>a part of me, going that's the. SIEGE i, remember

0:08:01.560 --> 0:08:04.280
<v Speaker 4>that's THE. CG i Remember Ohio state throwing those over,

0:08:04.360 --> 0:08:07.400
<v Speaker 4>us throwing the ball back BEHIND, jsn so he didn't

0:08:07.440 --> 0:08:08.880
<v Speaker 4>THROW jsn.

0:08:08.440 --> 0:08:09.080
<v Speaker 3>To a big.

0:08:09.160 --> 0:08:12.120
<v Speaker 4>Hit that's THE. Cj we're customed to. Scene AND i

0:08:12.160 --> 0:08:14.560
<v Speaker 4>just thought today he was on.

0:08:14.920 --> 0:08:21.520
<v Speaker 1>Points they Had, Higgins, Foster moreau And Watson watson sideline.

0:08:21.680 --> 0:08:26.120
<v Speaker 1>Beautiful you also had a red zone play today from Mister. Mills,

0:08:26.360 --> 0:08:27.200
<v Speaker 1>yes that was really.

0:08:27.280 --> 0:08:29.680
<v Speaker 3>Nice, yeah, yeah, Yeah and talking to one With, BREVIN.

0:08:29.800 --> 0:08:31.520
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if that happens in a game, situation

0:08:31.560 --> 0:08:33.480
<v Speaker 1>but you never, know because after Seeing mills on the

0:08:33.520 --> 0:08:36.360
<v Speaker 1>move Against jacksonville last, year reels can get on the,

0:08:36.360 --> 0:08:39.680
<v Speaker 1>move and he got on the, move rolling right and through. Back,

0:08:39.760 --> 0:08:42.480
<v Speaker 1>Look i'm on the other side of the, field so

0:08:42.520 --> 0:08:44.599
<v Speaker 1>it's hard to say back across his, body but it

0:08:44.640 --> 0:08:47.079
<v Speaker 1>kind of. Was he's headed for the sideline parallel to

0:08:47.200 --> 0:08:49.920
<v Speaker 1>the line of scrimmage and just chucks it back of

0:08:49.960 --> 0:08:51.880
<v Speaker 1>the end zone And jordan comes up with. It nice,

0:08:51.920 --> 0:08:54.719
<v Speaker 1>Catch breva and good Throw. MILLS i, mean that was

0:08:54.760 --> 0:08:56.920
<v Speaker 1>a good red zone play right, there and a busted.

0:08:56.920 --> 0:08:58.880
<v Speaker 4>Play, well the thing about it is when you're on the,

0:08:59.000 --> 0:09:01.679
<v Speaker 4>run when you're throwing on the run and you're throwing

0:09:01.720 --> 0:09:05.080
<v Speaker 4>to the to a receiver on the, run that that

0:09:05.120 --> 0:09:07.200
<v Speaker 4>can be kind of. Tough but you also know he's

0:09:07.200 --> 0:09:08.840
<v Speaker 4>on the, run LIKE i can just throw it away

0:09:08.840 --> 0:09:12.720
<v Speaker 4>from everybody and let him run into. It brevid circled

0:09:12.760 --> 0:09:15.400
<v Speaker 4>up and stopped to find an open, spot and So

0:09:15.520 --> 0:09:18.400
<v Speaker 4>davis did have to throw back across his body and

0:09:18.480 --> 0:09:21.800
<v Speaker 4>then as he's moving he's hitting a completely stationary. Target

0:09:22.200 --> 0:09:23.800
<v Speaker 4>but it was it was great to. See if it

0:09:23.840 --> 0:09:25.720
<v Speaker 4>was great See brev getting the in zone and score

0:09:25.720 --> 0:09:28.120
<v Speaker 4>a little. Bit you, know we talked about. That you,

0:09:28.160 --> 0:09:31.040
<v Speaker 4>know we talked About Dalton schultz earlier and how you

0:09:31.040 --> 0:09:33.240
<v Speaker 4>know that what that tight end room looks like?

0:09:33.320 --> 0:09:35.160
<v Speaker 3>Now you, KNOW i Thought marlin Had Marlin klein a

0:09:35.240 --> 0:09:36.880
<v Speaker 3>really good day of day. One you know There's foster

0:09:37.040 --> 0:09:38.400
<v Speaker 3>run that's that tight end.

0:09:38.480 --> 0:09:40.360
<v Speaker 4>Room, man if they can all just stay, healthy that

0:09:40.480 --> 0:09:42.360
<v Speaker 4>is going to be a really tough cutdown.

0:09:42.440 --> 0:09:44.800
<v Speaker 1>Day client being a rookie playing all levels of the

0:09:44.800 --> 0:09:46.920
<v Speaker 1>depth chart all over the, place can't read anything into.

0:09:46.960 --> 0:09:50.440
<v Speaker 1>Anything guys are all over the place right. Now offensive line,

0:09:50.480 --> 0:09:55.720
<v Speaker 1>configuration defensive line. Configuration there's a lot of moving stuff going.

0:09:55.720 --> 0:09:57.840
<v Speaker 1>On it's early in. Camp they want to give everybody a.

0:09:57.880 --> 0:10:00.920
<v Speaker 1>TASTE i, thought, defensively, look there are a lot of.

0:10:00.960 --> 0:10:04.560
<v Speaker 1>Plays as we applaud the offensive positive, plays there are

0:10:04.559 --> 0:10:07.400
<v Speaker 1>a lot of plays where this defense gives you absolutely.

0:10:07.440 --> 0:10:10.200
<v Speaker 1>Nothing take what the defense gives. You you'll get. Nothing

0:10:10.200 --> 0:10:10.520
<v Speaker 1>in like.

0:10:10.600 --> 0:10:11.559
<v Speaker 2>It you'll get.

0:10:11.600 --> 0:10:15.120
<v Speaker 1>Nothing everybody's, covered, sorry and there's a pass rush in your.

0:10:15.120 --> 0:10:16.960
<v Speaker 2>Face enjoy. That how does that?

0:10:17.080 --> 0:10:19.160
<v Speaker 1>Taste this defense does a lot of that to a

0:10:19.160 --> 0:10:21.960
<v Speaker 1>lot of, teams including The texans. Offense so as we,

0:10:22.000 --> 0:10:24.520
<v Speaker 1>say The texans offense made some plays. Today, man the

0:10:24.600 --> 0:10:27.959
<v Speaker 1>defense made some plays as. Well i'll point one thing.

0:10:27.960 --> 0:10:29.120
<v Speaker 1>OUT i feel Like harris hits right.

0:10:29.160 --> 0:10:29.600
<v Speaker 3>Here there you.

0:10:29.600 --> 0:10:33.119
<v Speaker 2>Go Solomon bert had a backfield.

0:10:33.120 --> 0:10:37.160
<v Speaker 1>Blast he got in the backfield and made his presence

0:10:37.200 --> 0:10:40.360
<v Speaker 1>felt on one particular. Instance AND i, thought we need

0:10:40.400 --> 0:10:42.960
<v Speaker 1>a lot of that From Solomon burt BECAUSE i Got

0:10:43.040 --> 0:10:45.959
<v Speaker 1>dylan on a side field right. Now horton hopefully comes,

0:10:46.000 --> 0:10:47.640
<v Speaker 1>back so it's probably you know who knows what it

0:10:47.679 --> 0:10:51.280
<v Speaker 1>Is logan. Too you got six weeks to, Go Logan.

0:10:51.320 --> 0:10:54.160
<v Speaker 1>Hall you want to see him in the. Flow but

0:10:54.200 --> 0:10:56.040
<v Speaker 1>they got a lot of, Guys, johnny they. Do and

0:10:56.480 --> 0:10:59.520
<v Speaker 1>you got to see that pass rush After will And

0:10:59.559 --> 0:11:03.200
<v Speaker 1>deneil exit the. Game you got to see some edge,

0:11:03.240 --> 0:11:08.080
<v Speaker 1>setting some pass rush, right some. Playmaking Derek barnett's not

0:11:08.120 --> 0:11:10.040
<v Speaker 1>walking through that, door although he, could you never, Know

0:11:10.400 --> 0:11:13.320
<v Speaker 1>But Derek barnett's not walking through that door you. Need

0:11:13.440 --> 0:11:15.720
<v Speaker 1>And i'm not saying they don't have the GUYS i

0:11:15.720 --> 0:11:17.960
<v Speaker 1>think they, do but it's gonna have to show.

0:11:18.040 --> 0:11:19.480
<v Speaker 2>Up it's gonna have to show. Up you're gonna have

0:11:19.480 --> 0:11:19.800
<v Speaker 2>to see that.

0:11:19.800 --> 0:11:22.680
<v Speaker 4>Materialize let me ask, YOU i don't think it's a

0:11:22.679 --> 0:11:27.200
<v Speaker 4>weird question today because there's been some noise out there

0:11:27.320 --> 0:11:30.600
<v Speaker 4>about The texans checking in with One genevian.

0:11:30.640 --> 0:11:33.760
<v Speaker 1>Clowney, YEAH i don't know if he fits in this.

0:11:34.200 --> 0:11:38.000
<v Speaker 1>Situation interesting as a. Reserve, well remember how that thing

0:11:38.000 --> 0:11:40.400
<v Speaker 1>went with The. Browns what do you mean what thing

0:11:41.640 --> 0:11:42.240
<v Speaker 1>he was with The?

0:11:42.280 --> 0:11:45.040
<v Speaker 4>Browns, yeah and then he just walked out and, left

0:11:45.120 --> 0:11:46.440
<v Speaker 4>didn't because it didn't go.

0:11:46.520 --> 0:11:50.600
<v Speaker 6>Well, well guess who interviewed with or went into. SAID

0:11:50.880 --> 0:11:54.720
<v Speaker 6>i like What barry, Said Andrew. Barry, yeah reconciliation in

0:11:54.760 --> 0:11:56.640
<v Speaker 6>life as. Possible you, KNOW i think it's something for

0:11:56.720 --> 0:11:57.160
<v Speaker 6>us all to.

0:11:57.240 --> 0:12:00.480
<v Speaker 1>Remember there's such a thing as making a, man as,

0:12:00.520 --> 0:12:04.360
<v Speaker 1>forgiveness as patching up a broken. Relationship, yes not THAT

0:12:04.400 --> 0:12:06.480
<v Speaker 1>i want to see it happen there necessarily for, him

0:12:06.520 --> 0:12:08.560
<v Speaker 1>but there's such a. Thing it's good to point out

0:12:08.800 --> 0:12:10.719
<v Speaker 1>a good little life. Lesson we need to get these

0:12:10.760 --> 0:12:13.560
<v Speaker 1>life lessons from. Sports sometimes you remember what lovees? Was

0:12:14.640 --> 0:12:18.520
<v Speaker 1>sometimes divorce is a good. Thing AND i, thought and

0:12:18.600 --> 0:12:23.200
<v Speaker 1>to balance me this balance, like hang on a, second, Honey.

0:12:23.000 --> 0:12:25.439
<v Speaker 3>YEAH i mean. Love he's been married For harvard, year but,

0:12:25.520 --> 0:12:26.439
<v Speaker 3>yeah like a billion.

0:12:26.520 --> 0:12:27.559
<v Speaker 2>Years he was saying that a.

0:12:27.520 --> 0:12:30.439
<v Speaker 4>Number but it goes in line With it's kind of

0:12:30.480 --> 0:12:32.520
<v Speaker 4>the corollary to, yours and that, is you know, what

0:12:34.120 --> 0:12:40.120
<v Speaker 4>real real, individuals real, professionals can you, know whatever animosity

0:12:40.160 --> 0:12:41.280
<v Speaker 4>aside and patch things up.

0:12:42.240 --> 0:12:44.839
<v Speaker 1>HAPPEN i went totally, positive that's exactly what you should.

0:12:44.840 --> 0:12:48.200
<v Speaker 1>Do SO i just that has been out there AND

0:12:48.360 --> 0:12:49.080
<v Speaker 1>jd lives In.

0:12:49.120 --> 0:12:54.679
<v Speaker 4>Houston now he Probably Mario, williams does he bring him?

0:12:54.720 --> 0:12:57.680
<v Speaker 4>BACK i, Mean JD's not going to show up until

0:12:57.679 --> 0:13:00.720
<v Speaker 4>three weeks in the training. Camp we know, that we

0:13:00.360 --> 0:13:04.880
<v Speaker 4>do know. That but he's still got some game. Left he,

0:13:04.920 --> 0:13:08.120
<v Speaker 4>Does he's still has some game. Left freaking.

0:13:08.320 --> 0:13:13.160
<v Speaker 3>Wild could you imagine? That I'M i LOVE. JD i always.

0:13:13.160 --> 0:13:16.080
<v Speaker 4>DID i felt like when he was here the first,

0:13:16.160 --> 0:13:19.800
<v Speaker 4>time there was so much pressure on his playpenion on

0:13:19.880 --> 0:13:22.480
<v Speaker 4>one overall. PICK i think he's realized that he could

0:13:22.480 --> 0:13:25.199
<v Speaker 4>have a, really, really really good career in THE nfl

0:13:25.960 --> 0:13:29.680
<v Speaker 4>AND nba disruptor AND i think he's found that with

0:13:29.720 --> 0:13:31.719
<v Speaker 4>the teams he's been with The cowboys last.

0:13:31.800 --> 0:13:34.520
<v Speaker 3>Year but you, know he just.

0:13:34.520 --> 0:13:37.720
<v Speaker 2>Happened to be the best player in a draft that

0:13:37.760 --> 0:13:38.880
<v Speaker 2>didn't have a. Quarterback that's.

0:13:38.960 --> 0:13:42.160
<v Speaker 1>Right Blake bortles third to The, jaguars obviously didn't work.

0:13:42.200 --> 0:13:45.319
<v Speaker 1>Out but With, clowney he really should have been the

0:13:45.400 --> 0:13:47.800
<v Speaker 1>number two or three pick in the, draft and nobody

0:13:47.800 --> 0:13:51.439
<v Speaker 1>would have said a word other than well we want, production, right,

0:13:51.520 --> 0:13:56.439
<v Speaker 1>Right but that number one pick, Pressure Trayvon walker, Anybody,

0:13:56.520 --> 0:13:58.920
<v Speaker 1>yeah tell them it's hard to live up to. It

0:13:59.000 --> 0:14:02.080
<v Speaker 1>and he's been pretty, good but not number one pick.

0:14:02.120 --> 0:14:05.200
<v Speaker 1>Good he's been number four pick, good number five pick

0:14:05.240 --> 0:14:08.520
<v Speaker 1>good maybe or maybe not unbelievably, Great hall of, famer

0:14:08.600 --> 0:14:11.000
<v Speaker 1>but all, right very, solid double digit.

0:14:11.080 --> 0:14:12.840
<v Speaker 2>Sacks let's keep it. Going that kind of.

0:14:12.840 --> 0:14:16.280
<v Speaker 4>Thing it just TAKES i think people fans a, lot you,

0:14:16.360 --> 0:14:18.200
<v Speaker 4>know like, step like With Mario. Williams you talk To

0:14:18.200 --> 0:14:20.080
<v Speaker 4>texas fans now and they're, like you know, what that

0:14:20.280 --> 0:14:20.720
<v Speaker 4>was the right.

0:14:20.800 --> 0:14:23.000
<v Speaker 3>Pick mario was a really. Good, now you won't get,

0:14:23.000 --> 0:14:24.560
<v Speaker 3>everybody BUT i think.

0:14:24.440 --> 0:14:27.800
<v Speaker 4>In, time when people are able to look, back they'll

0:14:27.800 --> 0:14:28.680
<v Speaker 4>think about the.

0:14:28.680 --> 0:14:31.360
<v Speaker 3>Player Mario williams not the number one overall.

0:14:31.040 --> 0:14:33.960
<v Speaker 1>Pick pick sack numbers put Jadevi Onto Shane, yeah, sure.

0:14:34.160 --> 0:14:36.240
<v Speaker 1>ABSOLUTELY i mean you put up fourteen in a. Season

0:14:36.240 --> 0:14:38.520
<v Speaker 1>Clown he's never had, ten, Right BUT i THINK i

0:14:38.520 --> 0:14:38.840
<v Speaker 1>think you're.

0:14:38.920 --> 0:14:42.760
<v Speaker 4>Right Jenevian, Clowney Treyvon walker really good football.

0:14:42.800 --> 0:14:44.920
<v Speaker 3>PLAYERS i, Mean clowney's a three Time Pro bowler.

0:14:44.640 --> 0:14:47.800
<v Speaker 4>While he's, here so, yeah like THAT'S i, Mean walker

0:14:47.800 --> 0:14:50.520
<v Speaker 4>hasn't gotten to. That But walker's a really good football.

0:14:50.560 --> 0:14:54.160
<v Speaker 4>Player he's really. Good but it's that number one overall.

0:14:54.200 --> 0:15:00.640
<v Speaker 4>Pick it's that, stigma that stamp. Whatever and AND i

0:15:00.680 --> 0:15:03.200
<v Speaker 4>REMEMBER i can't remember WHO i heard say, this but

0:15:03.200 --> 0:15:05.440
<v Speaker 4>they were talking About Miles garrett and this is probably

0:15:05.440 --> 0:15:07.840
<v Speaker 4>two three years, ago and everybody was, like, man they

0:15:07.880 --> 0:15:10.360
<v Speaker 4>want A Miles garrett to, win you, Know Defensive player

0:15:10.360 --> 0:15:12.360
<v Speaker 4>of The year thirteen. Times you only been here five,

0:15:12.440 --> 0:15:15.000
<v Speaker 4>Years and it's, like that's what goes with being the

0:15:15.080 --> 0:15:17.200
<v Speaker 4>number one pick in the, draft that he's that sort of.

0:15:17.240 --> 0:15:19.920
<v Speaker 4>Thing so, well you, know we'll see ABOUT. Jd but you're,

0:15:19.960 --> 0:15:24.680
<v Speaker 4>right the depth at defensive, end. Okay but to, me

0:15:24.840 --> 0:15:27.880
<v Speaker 4>that's why watching a guy Like solomon, byrd third year,

0:15:27.920 --> 0:15:31.880
<v Speaker 4>here you, know seventh round, pick just keep chopping, wood

0:15:32.000 --> 0:15:34.760
<v Speaker 4>keep chopping, wood and you never know when that opportunity comes,

0:15:34.840 --> 0:15:37.600
<v Speaker 4>up and when you get a chance to showing those preseason,

0:15:37.640 --> 0:15:39.400
<v Speaker 4>games you lock it in and, say, HEY i can

0:15:39.440 --> 0:15:40.200
<v Speaker 4>be the number three.

0:15:40.200 --> 0:15:42.280
<v Speaker 3>GUY i can be the number four. GUY i can

0:15:42.320 --> 0:15:42.640

<v Speaker 1>say one of those great veteran rookie moments right with the,

0:16:22.800 --> 0:16:27.040

0:18:45.040 --> 0:18:46.800
<v Speaker 5>you understand there's going to be a lot of work that's.

0:18:46.840 --> 0:18:48.720
<v Speaker 5>Involved and you, know we've put a lot of work

0:18:48.720 --> 0:18:51.160
<v Speaker 5>in from the beginning to where we are, now and

0:18:51.320 --> 0:18:54.000

0:18:54.040 --> 0:18:56.040
<v Speaker 5>Program hopefully we built it up and put it in a,

0:18:56.040 --> 0:18:59.240
<v Speaker 5>position and the goal is just to have as consistent

0:18:59.440 --> 0:19:01.560
<v Speaker 5>a football teams we can on the early, basis and

0:19:01.640 --> 0:19:04.199

0:19:06.040 --> 0:19:07.840
<v Speaker 5>lot of pride in being able to do. That we

0:19:07.960 --> 0:19:10.800
<v Speaker 5>understand that what's going on in the past over the

0:19:10.880 --> 0:19:13.400
<v Speaker 5>last few, years regardless of the success that we've, had

0:19:13.560 --> 0:19:16.280
<v Speaker 5>the reality is we're starting back over and we kind

0:19:16.280 --> 0:19:18.840
<v Speaker 5>of have to establish our foundation and build our identity

0:19:18.880 --> 0:19:19.560
<v Speaker 5>for the twenty sixth.

0:19:19.600 --> 0:19:21.359
<v Speaker 4>Season i'm glad you brought that, Up, nick BECAUSE i

0:19:21.400 --> 0:19:22.800
<v Speaker 4>was gonna ask you that because we can get into the.

0:19:22.800 --> 0:19:24.399
<v Speaker 4>Weeds mark AND i talked about, it and we can

0:19:24.440 --> 0:19:27.199
<v Speaker 4>ask you about practice squad players and udfas and all

0:19:27.200 --> 0:19:29.520
<v Speaker 4>that because we Do It's Texans, Radio but just from

0:19:29.520 --> 0:19:33.080
<v Speaker 4>a thirty thousand foot view about this, team in, particular

0:19:33.600 --> 0:19:35.679
<v Speaker 4>the way you guys have put this thing, together the

0:19:35.680 --> 0:19:38.199
<v Speaker 4>way that you've maneuvered and made things. Happen how do

0:19:38.240 --> 0:19:40.720
<v Speaker 4>you feel about where this team is right now at

0:19:40.720 --> 0:19:41.239
<v Speaker 4>this point in.

0:19:41.240 --> 0:19:43.119
<v Speaker 5>Time, YEAH i, mean, look we think we're going to

0:19:43.160 --> 0:19:44.919
<v Speaker 5>have a pretty good football. Team now what does that

0:19:45.000 --> 0:19:47.640
<v Speaker 5>look like on a weekly? Basis obviously it's all gonna

0:19:47.640 --> 0:19:50.359
<v Speaker 5>come down to how we play regarding against the against

0:19:50.400 --> 0:19:53.000
<v Speaker 5>the particular. Opponent but you, KNOW i think we have

0:19:53.119 --> 0:19:57.880
<v Speaker 5>An we have a number of players who understand what

0:19:58.320 --> 0:20:00.480
<v Speaker 5>we want our football team to look like and how

0:20:00.480 --> 0:20:03.240
<v Speaker 5>we want to. PLAY i, mean really the three core

0:20:03.320 --> 0:20:05.640
<v Speaker 5>tenants in terms of how we want to. Play, precision, effort,

0:20:05.720 --> 0:20:08.639
<v Speaker 5>physicality like that's how we want to play In demiko

0:20:08.680 --> 0:20:10.800
<v Speaker 5>talks to the team about. That so we need to

0:20:10.800 --> 0:20:13.880
<v Speaker 5>find players who have an understanding of what that. Means number,

0:20:13.880 --> 0:20:17.280
<v Speaker 5>one number two can actually implement that on a weekly,

0:20:17.359 --> 0:20:20.159
<v Speaker 5>Basis and it starts in, practice it starts in training,

0:20:20.200 --> 0:20:22.960
<v Speaker 5>camp and then it's being able to do it consistently over.

0:20:23.080 --> 0:20:25.720
<v Speaker 5>TIME i mean we HAVE i mean that we were

0:20:25.720 --> 0:20:28.240
<v Speaker 5>at nineteen. Yesterday now we have eighteen practices in three

0:20:28.240 --> 0:20:32.320
<v Speaker 5>preseason games left before the opener Against. Buffalo SO i

0:20:32.359 --> 0:20:35.240
<v Speaker 5>think everybody has an understanding of what the expectation of

0:20:35.280 --> 0:20:38.640
<v Speaker 5>what the standard is on a daily basis what we

0:20:38.720 --> 0:20:41.639
<v Speaker 5>expect from the, players and you, know they take a

0:20:41.640 --> 0:20:43.600
<v Speaker 5>lot of pride and take a lot of ownership and

0:20:43.680 --> 0:20:45.359
<v Speaker 5>trying to make sure that we're doing things the right.

0:20:45.400 --> 0:20:47.679
<v Speaker 1>Way you've got a lot of young, players but a

0:20:47.680 --> 0:20:50.119
<v Speaker 1>lot of young players with, experience a lot of good

0:20:50.160 --> 0:20:52.600
<v Speaker 1>guys in year, three year, four that kind of.

0:20:52.600 --> 0:20:55.160
<v Speaker 2>Thing how would you define, it because some teams.

0:20:54.920 --> 0:20:56.600
<v Speaker 1>You look at the average, age but it might be

0:20:56.600 --> 0:20:58.600
<v Speaker 1>skewed by a really old guy or really young, guy

0:20:58.640 --> 0:21:00.959
<v Speaker 1>or whatever the case. Is you look at, Me, meetian

0:21:01.160 --> 0:21:02.280
<v Speaker 1>how do you describe this?

0:21:02.320 --> 0:21:04.200
<v Speaker 5>Team, NO i think you articulated, Well, Mark we're kind

0:21:04.200 --> 0:21:06.560
<v Speaker 5>of probably right there in the. Middle you, know we

0:21:06.640 --> 0:21:09.680
<v Speaker 5>have some players who HAVE i would say ten plus

0:21:09.800 --> 0:21:12.200
<v Speaker 5>years of, experience not too, many but we have. Some

0:21:12.359 --> 0:21:14.159
<v Speaker 5>and then we kind of have a cohort in that

0:21:14.240 --> 0:21:17.080
<v Speaker 5>kind of four to six sish. Range and then we

0:21:17.160 --> 0:21:19.520
<v Speaker 5>have some other players who are just starting their, careers

0:21:19.560 --> 0:21:22.080
<v Speaker 5>whether they drafted last year or we drafted them this.

0:21:22.200 --> 0:21:25.879
<v Speaker 5>Year so it's a mixture of. Players and we've talked about,

0:21:25.880 --> 0:21:27.560
<v Speaker 5>this the team's going to change and kind of turn

0:21:27.640 --> 0:21:30.960
<v Speaker 5>over each. Year we have a core, players a group

0:21:31.000 --> 0:21:32.800
<v Speaker 5>of players that have been with us now for three

0:21:32.920 --> 0:21:36.240
<v Speaker 5>four years and you're seeing those are some of our better.

0:21:36.280 --> 0:21:39.080
<v Speaker 5>Players we've been able to kind of supplement that with

0:21:39.119 --> 0:21:41.720
<v Speaker 5>some maybe some veteran, players whether they were somewhere, else

0:21:42.080 --> 0:21:44.560
<v Speaker 5>or you, know players that we signed maybe that were

0:21:44.560 --> 0:21:46.800
<v Speaker 5>in the league somewhere else that we brought here over

0:21:46.840 --> 0:21:48.840
<v Speaker 5>the last two or three. Years and then we have

0:21:48.920 --> 0:21:51.360
<v Speaker 5>some younger, players so we don't really care where they come.

0:21:51.359 --> 0:21:53.440
<v Speaker 5>From it's we just care if they're going to play

0:21:53.480 --> 0:21:54.080
<v Speaker 5>good football or.

0:21:54.119 --> 0:21:56.320
<v Speaker 3>Not, okay what do you hate to?

0:21:56.400 --> 0:22:03.879
<v Speaker 4>Answer more questions about injuries or questions about? Contracts, Push

0:22:05.000 --> 0:22:08.080
<v Speaker 4>i'm gonna go there with this one with contracts because

0:22:08.160 --> 0:22:10.480
<v Speaker 4>when people think about the general manager of the, team

0:22:10.840 --> 0:22:14.080
<v Speaker 4>there's a lot that falls on your. Plate And i'm

0:22:14.160 --> 0:22:16.920
<v Speaker 4>sure there are probably some things that you really really enjoy,

0:22:17.040 --> 0:22:19.480
<v Speaker 4>doing and there are probably some things you're, like where

0:22:19.480 --> 0:22:22.600
<v Speaker 4>does where does the negotiation of a contract kind of

0:22:22.600 --> 0:22:23.119
<v Speaker 4>fall in for?

0:22:23.200 --> 0:22:25.760
<v Speaker 5>You, HONESTLY i mean we joke about. IT i really

0:22:25.880 --> 0:22:29.760
<v Speaker 5>enjoy every aspect of the, job and it's you understand

0:22:29.760 --> 0:22:31.399
<v Speaker 5>you're going to be involved in a number of different

0:22:31.440 --> 0:22:35.119
<v Speaker 5>things and you try not to get too immerged or too.

0:22:35.160 --> 0:22:38.200
<v Speaker 5>EMOTIONAL i guess understand it's a part of the. Business

0:22:38.359 --> 0:22:42.439
<v Speaker 5>so contracts or, contracts you're going to negotiate those. Contracts

0:22:43.119 --> 0:22:45.680
<v Speaker 5>the goal of a contract negotiation is to kind of

0:22:45.720 --> 0:22:48.280
<v Speaker 5>have an agreement where everybody feels good about, It like

0:22:48.359 --> 0:22:50.600
<v Speaker 5>you don't why not trying to build up any animosity

0:22:50.640 --> 0:22:53.080
<v Speaker 5>on either. Side, look we'll talk to. Anybody a really

0:22:53.119 --> 0:22:56.440
<v Speaker 5>good working relationship with the. Agents i'd say my negotiating

0:22:56.480 --> 0:22:58.719
<v Speaker 5>style is kind of a bottom line kind of. Style

0:22:58.840 --> 0:23:01.480
<v Speaker 5>so SOME i don't want to hem in hall like all, Right,

0:23:01.560 --> 0:23:04.359
<v Speaker 5>hey we're generally going to be in this. Ballpark here's

0:23:04.359 --> 0:23:07.159
<v Speaker 5>the reason. Why, okay we can either arrive at an

0:23:07.240 --> 0:23:10.040
<v Speaker 5>endpoint or if we, can't no hard, feelings then we

0:23:10.080 --> 0:23:13.280
<v Speaker 5>move on to the next player or understand you know

0:23:13.320 --> 0:23:15.480
<v Speaker 5>what's in front of. Us so it goes to the.

0:23:15.560 --> 0:23:18.560
<v Speaker 5>TERRITORY i wasn't necessarily taught how to negotiate some of.

0:23:18.560 --> 0:23:20.200
<v Speaker 5>This you got to figure out on your. Own that's

0:23:20.240 --> 0:23:22.439
<v Speaker 5>kind of HOW i. Learned AND i think you just

0:23:22.440 --> 0:23:25.000
<v Speaker 5>want to be able to communicate, clearly here's your, position

0:23:25.240 --> 0:23:27.360
<v Speaker 5>but you also have to listen and have an understanding

0:23:27.600 --> 0:23:30.800
<v Speaker 5>of the position on the on the opposing, side and

0:23:30.840 --> 0:23:32.480
<v Speaker 5>they just try to fit and try not to be too.

0:23:32.520 --> 0:23:35.560
<v Speaker 5>Stubborn try to be flexible and try to maintain a

0:23:35.560 --> 0:23:39.400
<v Speaker 5>good working relationship because at some point the agent may

0:23:39.440 --> 0:23:42.320
<v Speaker 5>have another player that comes along further down down the,

0:23:42.400 --> 0:23:44.040
<v Speaker 5>road so you don't want you want to make sure

0:23:44.080 --> 0:23:46.680
<v Speaker 5>you have a good working. Relationship BUT i think everybody

0:23:46.680 --> 0:23:49.000
<v Speaker 5>that deals with, us whether it's an agent or even

0:23:49.040 --> 0:23:51.000
<v Speaker 5>with other, teams they kind of know how we.

0:23:51.040 --> 0:23:53.840
<v Speaker 1>Operate, nick let's talk about the offensive line a, bit

0:23:53.920 --> 0:23:56.879
<v Speaker 1>because you made some additions and you bring ed back

0:23:56.960 --> 0:24:01.360
<v Speaker 1>And trent brack, back but collectively it looks like it's

0:24:01.400 --> 0:24:02.280
<v Speaker 1>a lot better so.

0:24:02.480 --> 0:24:03.960
<v Speaker 2>FAR i know we're really early in this.

0:24:04.000 --> 0:24:05.639
<v Speaker 1>Thing you want to see them in, pads but you

0:24:05.680 --> 0:24:08.680
<v Speaker 1>could see the, attitude just the vibe of the whole

0:24:08.720 --> 0:24:10.119
<v Speaker 1>thing feels a lot better and.

0:24:10.160 --> 0:24:12.560
<v Speaker 5>Different, YEAH i think that group, OVERALL i mean there's

0:24:12.600 --> 0:24:15.920
<v Speaker 5>a toughness and physicality about, them AND i, mean, honestly

0:24:15.960 --> 0:24:19.000
<v Speaker 5>the mental component of playing offensive line kind of supersedes

0:24:19.320 --> 0:24:21.760
<v Speaker 5>maybe as much as. Anything so the physical component is

0:24:21.800 --> 0:24:23.280
<v Speaker 5>a big part of, it but the mental. Component because

0:24:23.280 --> 0:24:26.080
<v Speaker 5>things happened pretty, Quickly fronts are gonna, change calls are gonna,

0:24:26.119 --> 0:24:27.680
<v Speaker 5>Change we're gonna have to make adjustments to the. Line of,

0:24:27.680 --> 0:24:30.119
<v Speaker 5>scrimmage who can handle that and who can get that

0:24:30.200 --> 0:24:33.719
<v Speaker 5>information to communicate it to one. Another so they spend

0:24:33.880 --> 0:24:36.439
<v Speaker 5>a lot of time. TOGETHER i mean it's five a is.

0:24:36.480 --> 0:24:39.359
<v Speaker 5>ONE i, mean it's just not about one. Individual they

0:24:39.400 --> 0:24:41.959
<v Speaker 5>all have to work in unison because there's a lot

0:24:41.960 --> 0:24:43.639
<v Speaker 5>of things that happen during the course of the. Play

0:24:43.720 --> 0:24:45.919
<v Speaker 5>but really good group have a good. ATTITUDE i, Mean

0:24:46.000 --> 0:24:48.560
<v Speaker 5>cole has done a really good. Job a certain standard

0:24:48.640 --> 0:24:50.960
<v Speaker 5>and expectation of what we want from that, group and

0:24:51.000 --> 0:24:54.000
<v Speaker 5>they understand what that. Entails Kind of going back to

0:24:54.000 --> 0:24:56.240
<v Speaker 5>your earlier, Question, mark it's kind of a mixture of

0:24:56.400 --> 0:25:00.679
<v Speaker 5>some younger players with some players that have some lef veteran,

0:25:00.720 --> 0:25:03.120
<v Speaker 5>experience whether it's people that have been here in our

0:25:03.160 --> 0:25:06.800
<v Speaker 5>system or In braden's case Or Evan brown's, case have

0:25:06.880 --> 0:25:08.560
<v Speaker 5>played a lot of good football for other.

0:25:08.640 --> 0:25:11.800
<v Speaker 4>Teams you, Know i'm contractually obligated to ask you about

0:25:11.800 --> 0:25:15.159
<v Speaker 4>the draft and or. Rookies so since the draft has

0:25:15.200 --> 0:25:18.240
<v Speaker 4>already taken place and we have our, ROOKIES i want

0:25:18.240 --> 0:25:19.840
<v Speaker 4>to ask you about one in, particular BECAUSE i know

0:25:19.880 --> 0:25:21.480
<v Speaker 4>it was one that was kind of talking point out.

0:25:21.520 --> 0:25:24.920
<v Speaker 4>There That's Marlin klein grew up In, germany comes over,

0:25:24.920 --> 0:25:27.080
<v Speaker 4>here then you speak the, language plays ball In. Georgia

0:25:27.080 --> 0:25:28.760
<v Speaker 4>then he goes To. Michigan he's, THERE i think four

0:25:28.800 --> 0:25:30.680
<v Speaker 4>or five, years whatever it, is had the full. Allotment

0:25:30.760 --> 0:25:32.680
<v Speaker 4>there comes. Here we don't need a chance to see

0:25:32.720 --> 0:25:35.400
<v Speaker 4>him much In ota mini. Camp then we watch him

0:25:35.440 --> 0:25:37.680
<v Speaker 4>yesterday and it's like. Whoa you get up next to

0:25:37.760 --> 0:25:39.879
<v Speaker 4>him and you realize he's got size and you see the,

0:25:39.920 --> 0:25:40.520
<v Speaker 4>speed you see the.

0:25:40.560 --> 0:25:42.080
<v Speaker 3>Athleticism what did you guys.

0:25:41.880 --> 0:25:44.040
<v Speaker 4>See In Marlon klein that made you guys want to

0:25:44.080 --> 0:25:44.800
<v Speaker 4>go get him in the second?

0:25:44.840 --> 0:25:45.000
<v Speaker 3>Round?

0:25:45.040 --> 0:25:47.320
<v Speaker 5>Nick, yeah those things that you Articulated. John and he's

0:25:47.320 --> 0:25:50.520
<v Speaker 5>a really good. Kid he's got a really interesting. Story

0:25:51.119 --> 0:25:52.880
<v Speaker 5>he's a smart. Kid he was in a really good

0:25:52.880 --> 0:25:55.920
<v Speaker 5>program for a number of. Years he still has some like,

0:25:56.040 --> 0:25:59.840
<v Speaker 5>say developmental qualities in, him but good, work ethic and.

0:26:00.040 --> 0:26:03.040
<v Speaker 5>Mindset he's, smart has some physical traits that we thought

0:26:03.280 --> 0:26:08.080
<v Speaker 5>would translate to our. Situation so he's been really good

0:26:08.080 --> 0:26:10.399
<v Speaker 5>to work. With we'll probably hopefully we'll be able to

0:26:10.400 --> 0:26:11.880
<v Speaker 5>see a little bit more of him in training camp

0:26:11.880 --> 0:26:13.520
<v Speaker 5>and the spring was kind of limited there a little,

0:26:13.560 --> 0:26:15.800
<v Speaker 5>bit but he's been great to work. With overall that,

0:26:15.880 --> 0:26:17.800
<v Speaker 5>group they've had the right, Attitude they've had a right.

0:26:17.840 --> 0:26:20.280
<v Speaker 5>Approach in reality is they just got to take it

0:26:20.320 --> 0:26:21.600
<v Speaker 5>one step at a time because this is new for

0:26:21.640 --> 0:26:23.320
<v Speaker 5>them as, well even though they've been in. College but

0:26:23.359 --> 0:26:25.280
<v Speaker 5>training camp in THE nfl is different in. College so

0:26:25.640 --> 0:26:27.679
<v Speaker 5>there's gonna be an acclamation period and adjustment period for

0:26:27.680 --> 0:26:27.960
<v Speaker 5>all those.

0:26:27.960 --> 0:26:30.560
<v Speaker 1>Players, nick how helpful is it to have the year

0:26:30.640 --> 0:26:34.080
<v Speaker 1>one to year two improvement With Nick keley coordinating the

0:26:34.160 --> 0:26:37.200
<v Speaker 1>offense AND cj working with him for an entire season

0:26:37.240 --> 0:26:39.600
<v Speaker 1>offseason and here we go in twenty twenty six And

0:26:39.880 --> 0:26:40.880
<v Speaker 1>davis two also.

0:26:41.359 --> 0:26:43.239
<v Speaker 5>Ramp, yeah anytime you have a chance to go through

0:26:43.280 --> 0:26:46.359
<v Speaker 5>a full, cycle it's just. Everybody it's not. NEW i,

0:26:46.400 --> 0:26:50.280
<v Speaker 5>mean you understand the, Terminology you understand the coaching points

0:26:50.320 --> 0:26:53.640
<v Speaker 5>on certain, plays how we package, plays what we're trying

0:26:53.680 --> 0:26:56.320
<v Speaker 5>to accomplish on each. Play so you're that much further ahead.

0:26:56.720 --> 0:26:59.160
<v Speaker 5>Now you're just kind of fine. Tuning and maybe we've

0:26:59.200 --> 0:27:01.000
<v Speaker 5>made some changes in the offseason that we feel are

0:27:01.040 --> 0:27:03.080
<v Speaker 5>going to help us, offensively whether it's a call or

0:27:03.119 --> 0:27:05.040
<v Speaker 5>a concept that you're trying to marry up with. Something

0:27:05.080 --> 0:27:08.479
<v Speaker 5>BUT i think anytime you go through, something one at

0:27:08.560 --> 0:27:10.840
<v Speaker 5>least once you deal with the, ups you deal with the,

0:27:10.880 --> 0:27:14.440
<v Speaker 5>downs and then you move. Forward but you, know it's

0:27:14.520 --> 0:27:17.720
<v Speaker 5>like our, program we're a lot further along now than we,

0:27:17.760 --> 0:27:20.280
<v Speaker 5>were let's, say In demko's first. Year so that's just

0:27:20.320 --> 0:27:22.080
<v Speaker 5>a natural revolution that takes. Place.

0:27:22.280 --> 0:27:24.439
<v Speaker 3>NICK i know you talked about this at your presser.

0:27:24.520 --> 0:27:27.600
<v Speaker 4>YESTERDAY i think Every houston media member was like sitting

0:27:27.680 --> 0:27:30.040
<v Speaker 4>on The Tank dell. Question so we'll go ahead and

0:27:30.080 --> 0:27:32.040
<v Speaker 4>get it out here With, TANK i think we want

0:27:32.040 --> 0:27:34.640
<v Speaker 4>to ask it from this perspective when we saw him

0:27:34.680 --> 0:27:35.760
<v Speaker 4>go down Against Kansas City.

0:27:35.760 --> 0:27:38.000
<v Speaker 3>MARKET i talked about that, yesterday.

0:27:38.200 --> 0:27:41.720
<v Speaker 4>Not understanding at that point how long it might, take but, knowing,

0:27:41.760 --> 0:27:45.720
<v Speaker 4>okay that seemed pretty significant in your, opinion what you've

0:27:45.720 --> 0:27:48.280
<v Speaker 4>Seen tank do to get ready to even be in this.

0:27:48.400 --> 0:27:50.800
<v Speaker 4>Position what does that say About tank and what do

0:27:50.800 --> 0:27:52.560
<v Speaker 4>you kind of see the outlook For tank being in

0:27:52.560 --> 0:27:54.760
<v Speaker 4>the next few weeks going on to the rest of training.

0:27:54.760 --> 0:27:57.560
<v Speaker 5>Camp and it says a lot about. Him, honestly the

0:27:57.680 --> 0:28:00.760
<v Speaker 5>mental strain that he endured was probably as much as

0:28:00.760 --> 0:28:02.879
<v Speaker 5>the physical strain that he went through relative to the.

0:28:02.920 --> 0:28:06.159
<v Speaker 5>Injury so that level of mental toughness TO i, mean,

0:28:06.280 --> 0:28:08.360
<v Speaker 5>essentially have football taken away from you for a full,

0:28:08.400 --> 0:28:11.919
<v Speaker 5>season but to continue to push and put yourself in

0:28:11.920 --> 0:28:14.760
<v Speaker 5>a position where you have opportunity says a lot about

0:28:14.760 --> 0:28:16.920
<v Speaker 5>who he is as a human, being and we felt

0:28:16.960 --> 0:28:19.080
<v Speaker 5>that way when we drafted. Him just this is a

0:28:19.080 --> 0:28:23.000
<v Speaker 5>really special human being and a special. Kid he's working

0:28:23.080 --> 0:28:25.359
<v Speaker 5>himself into position physically where he should be able to

0:28:25.400 --> 0:28:27.040
<v Speaker 5>go out there and do some things on the football.

0:28:27.080 --> 0:28:30.679
<v Speaker 5>Field so you, know really a credit to him and

0:28:30.680 --> 0:28:33.120
<v Speaker 5>the credit to our training staff and medical staff that

0:28:33.200 --> 0:28:35.440
<v Speaker 5>he's at least in this position to have an opportunity

0:28:35.480 --> 0:28:36.560
<v Speaker 5>to potentially help our football.

0:28:36.560 --> 0:28:38.600
<v Speaker 1>Team, WELL i want to ask you about depth at

0:28:38.840 --> 0:28:40.640
<v Speaker 1>receiver and linebacker because NO.

0:28:40.680 --> 0:28:42.280
<v Speaker 2>Ej, speed but you've known that for a.

0:28:42.320 --> 0:28:45.000
<v Speaker 1>While jalen has whatever injury and he's out a couple

0:28:45.040 --> 0:28:45.480
<v Speaker 1>of weeks or.

0:28:45.480 --> 0:28:46.120
<v Speaker 2>Whatever it's gonna.

0:28:46.120 --> 0:28:48.560
<v Speaker 1>Be but that's an opportunity for some young young guys

0:28:48.560 --> 0:28:51.280
<v Speaker 1>to come. Up And Lewis, bond you drafted, him played

0:28:51.320 --> 0:28:53.440
<v Speaker 1>for AN nfl coach And bill O'Brien and the other

0:28:53.480 --> 0:28:54.680
<v Speaker 1>guys have a chance to move.

0:28:54.760 --> 0:28:55.400
<v Speaker 2>Up and same with the.

0:28:55.440 --> 0:28:58.720
<v Speaker 5>Linebackers, yeah for, sure you Know Lewis bond's and players

0:28:58.680 --> 0:29:00.480
<v Speaker 5>is probably gonna have an opportunity to get a few more.

0:29:00.480 --> 0:29:03.520
<v Speaker 5>Reps you, KNOW i Think hutch has shown his versatility

0:29:03.520 --> 0:29:05.640
<v Speaker 5>through the. Years he's kind of a wherever you need

0:29:05.680 --> 0:29:08.520
<v Speaker 5>him player and he's always come through for. Us so

0:29:08.640 --> 0:29:11.520
<v Speaker 5>and you, Know Jay, Watt Justin watson has a number

0:29:11.560 --> 0:29:13.760
<v Speaker 5>of years of, experience has been in our, system so

0:29:13.800 --> 0:29:16.920
<v Speaker 5>he's played GOOD nfl. Football and then at the linebacker,

0:29:16.960 --> 0:29:18.880
<v Speaker 5>spot you, know there is you, know we think there's

0:29:18.880 --> 0:29:20.719
<v Speaker 5>some pretty good depth. THERE i, mean we'll see how

0:29:20.720 --> 0:29:23.520
<v Speaker 5>it goes With wade And Aidan, fisher but those are

0:29:23.520 --> 0:29:25.920
<v Speaker 5>two young players that you, know we like and had

0:29:25.920 --> 0:29:27.880
<v Speaker 5>affinity for. It, Say henry's probably had as good of

0:29:27.920 --> 0:29:30.440
<v Speaker 5>an offseason as he's had since he's been. Here he's

0:29:30.440 --> 0:29:32.960
<v Speaker 5>a good football player that he's. Improved so it just

0:29:33.080 --> 0:29:36.240
<v Speaker 5>creates it's unfortunate when the player sustains an injury or

0:29:36.280 --> 0:29:39.160
<v Speaker 5>has a, setback but it also creates an opportunity for another,

0:29:39.200 --> 0:29:41.640
<v Speaker 5>Player and in the, end it's up for the players

0:29:41.640 --> 0:29:43.480
<v Speaker 5>to capitalize on those opportunities when they're.

0:29:43.480 --> 0:29:46.560
<v Speaker 4>Presented when there are veterans around the, League, nick you

0:29:46.680 --> 0:29:48.520
<v Speaker 4>got a lot of opportunities to watch. Him you got

0:29:48.520 --> 0:29:50.720
<v Speaker 4>all whatever you know they did the year before and

0:29:50.720 --> 0:29:52.520
<v Speaker 4>the year before, that guys have been around five six.

0:29:52.640 --> 0:29:54.440
<v Speaker 4>Years you got a lot of opportunities to see guys

0:29:54.440 --> 0:29:56.239
<v Speaker 4>on film and find out what they're all, about et.

0:29:56.320 --> 0:29:59.240
<v Speaker 4>Cetera But Dave montgomery we had a chance to see

0:29:59.280 --> 0:30:02.360
<v Speaker 4>in the joint practice last year as he walks by.

0:30:02.480 --> 0:30:04.640
<v Speaker 3>Us we got a chance to see them in a joint.

0:30:04.680 --> 0:30:08.000
<v Speaker 4>Practice it's another opportunity and a unique opportunity to see

0:30:08.000 --> 0:30:11.560
<v Speaker 4>how a guy works during a, practice et. Cetera did

0:30:11.600 --> 0:30:14.440
<v Speaker 4>you learn anything kind of Observing? David AND i know

0:30:14.520 --> 0:30:16.560
<v Speaker 4>that wasn't the reason for going To detroit last, Year

0:30:16.920 --> 0:30:19.120
<v Speaker 4>but was that any part of the decision to go

0:30:19.160 --> 0:30:20.479
<v Speaker 4>and trade For david and bring him.

0:30:20.520 --> 0:30:23.240
<v Speaker 5>Here, yeah the whole profile On david IS i, mean

0:30:23.480 --> 0:30:26.120
<v Speaker 5>he's an absolute. Stud he was that way coming out

0:30:26.160 --> 0:30:28.680
<v Speaker 5>Of Iowa. State he had a really good track. Record

0:30:28.680 --> 0:30:30.720
<v Speaker 5>he had been a productive. Player what was In chicago

0:30:30.760 --> 0:30:34.200
<v Speaker 5>and In. DETROIT i Mean detroit's build program is similar

0:30:34.200 --> 0:30:37.520
<v Speaker 5>to our, program built on toughness and. Physicality so how they,

0:30:37.600 --> 0:30:40.360
<v Speaker 5>play how we, practice you, know to be able to

0:30:40.360 --> 0:30:43.400
<v Speaker 5>play for Coach campbell And Brad holmes in that, Program,

0:30:43.920 --> 0:30:46.520
<v Speaker 5>okay that type of player is probably going to have

0:30:46.560 --> 0:30:48.640
<v Speaker 5>a good chance to hopefully have some success in our,

0:30:48.760 --> 0:30:52.720
<v Speaker 5>system but he's an ultimate. Professional doesn't really say. Much

0:30:52.840 --> 0:30:55.160
<v Speaker 5>he kind of lets his actions do the talking for.

0:30:55.360 --> 0:30:57.960
<v Speaker 5>Him but you, know we're excited to Add david to

0:30:58.000 --> 0:30:59.600
<v Speaker 5>the team and looking forward to what he's gonna bring

0:30:59.600 --> 0:30:59.680
<v Speaker 5>to the.

0:30:59.680 --> 0:31:02.840
<v Speaker 1>Family, WELL i interviewed him when you signed, him and

0:31:02.920 --> 0:31:04.680
<v Speaker 1>he gave us a cut that we put on social,

0:31:04.720 --> 0:31:06.520
<v Speaker 1>media and it just made me stand up straight in my.

0:31:06.560 --> 0:31:08.880
<v Speaker 2>Seat it was very. Intense he's an intense.

0:31:08.480 --> 0:31:12.719
<v Speaker 1>Guy underneath it, all and obviously the overtone on the,

0:31:12.760 --> 0:31:15.240
<v Speaker 1>Field nick and that shared with THE o line and

0:31:15.280 --> 0:31:17.160
<v Speaker 1>maybe Even Foster moreau who you brought.

0:31:17.200 --> 0:31:18.800
<v Speaker 2>In you really were looking for this kind of.

0:31:18.800 --> 0:31:21.400
<v Speaker 5>Thing, Yeah i'd say any off season like toughness and

0:31:21.440 --> 0:31:24.240
<v Speaker 5>physicality in that. MINDSET i, mean it was something that you,

0:31:24.280 --> 0:31:27.360
<v Speaker 5>know we're our team is built on. That so who

0:31:27.400 --> 0:31:29.360
<v Speaker 5>are the players that are out there that we feel

0:31:29.520 --> 0:31:31.800
<v Speaker 5>can add to that? Component like we got a lot

0:31:31.800 --> 0:31:34.280
<v Speaker 5>of tough dudes on this team, already but any and

0:31:34.360 --> 0:31:37.080
<v Speaker 5>toughness physicality winning this. League so the more of those

0:31:37.120 --> 0:31:39.680
<v Speaker 5>players you have on your, team at least it gives

0:31:39.680 --> 0:31:42.160
<v Speaker 5>you That i'd say mentality and mindset when you walk

0:31:42.200 --> 0:31:43.360
<v Speaker 5>on a football Field.

0:31:43.160 --> 0:31:47.520
<v Speaker 4>Niko always intrigue for your position as you go through

0:31:47.800 --> 0:31:50.720
<v Speaker 4>a training, camp because you've got some guys that are

0:31:50.720 --> 0:31:54.120
<v Speaker 4>fighting and battling for a starting. Spot you have some

0:31:54.160 --> 0:31:56.440
<v Speaker 4>guys that might be rookies just, looking you, know to

0:31:56.560 --> 0:32:00.440
<v Speaker 4>develop their. Game you've got some that might be fighting

0:32:00.440 --> 0:32:02.360
<v Speaker 4>to make the. Roster so you've got all these different.

0:32:02.400 --> 0:32:05.600
<v Speaker 4>Components And i'm sure as you're watching, it you're watching, Guys,

0:32:05.640 --> 0:32:06.280
<v Speaker 4>okay this guy's.

0:32:06.320 --> 0:32:08.200
<v Speaker 3>Developing you, know how's this competition?

0:32:08.280 --> 0:32:10.320
<v Speaker 4>Going how do you balance all of that in the

0:32:10.360 --> 0:32:13.600
<v Speaker 4>Evaluation AND i know what we've talked about a lot. Before,

0:32:13.640 --> 0:32:17.280
<v Speaker 4>hey ninety, guys here we get sixty. Nine you know

0:32:17.320 --> 0:32:20.000
<v Speaker 4>with the sixteen practice, squad everybody here has got to.

0:32:20.000 --> 0:32:23.400
<v Speaker 4>Contribute but how do you balance all of those different

0:32:23.400 --> 0:32:24.520
<v Speaker 4>evaluation touch?

0:32:24.560 --> 0:32:26.880
<v Speaker 5>Points if you, Will, no that's a thousand dollars. Question

0:32:26.960 --> 0:32:28.880
<v Speaker 5>that's what you're trying to, do and you just have

0:32:28.920 --> 0:32:31.040
<v Speaker 5>to understand what are you trying to, Accomplish what do

0:32:31.080 --> 0:32:34.200
<v Speaker 5>you need to see from certain? Players and what more

0:32:34.280 --> 0:32:36.560
<v Speaker 5>information do we need so we can make the right.

0:32:36.600 --> 0:32:39.880
<v Speaker 5>Decision we have call it for six weeks or how

0:32:39.920 --> 0:32:41.960
<v Speaker 5>many weeks we have in front of us. Here it's

0:32:42.000 --> 0:32:44.080
<v Speaker 5>a short period of. Time but it's a combination of the,

0:32:44.080 --> 0:32:47.520
<v Speaker 5>spring it's combination of training. Camp, obviously the evaluation Of

0:32:47.600 --> 0:32:50.440
<v Speaker 5>henry is going to be different than the evaluation Of Aiden.

0:32:50.440 --> 0:32:52.560
<v Speaker 5>Fisher they're just at different stages of their career to

0:32:52.680 --> 0:32:55.440
<v Speaker 5>your pointch on. It so you're trying to balance that

0:32:55.520 --> 0:32:57.840
<v Speaker 5>off and there's a short term. Component here's where the

0:32:57.840 --> 0:33:00.680
<v Speaker 5>player is, now and then you're trying to balance off, well,

0:33:00.800 --> 0:33:03.040
<v Speaker 5>okay six months from, now where do we think that

0:33:03.080 --> 0:33:05.800
<v Speaker 5>player is going to. Be so that's kind of what

0:33:05.800 --> 0:33:08.920
<v Speaker 5>we're going. Through, look the reality is like the, Team

0:33:09.120 --> 0:33:10.640
<v Speaker 5>we kind of know what the team is going to look.

0:33:10.680 --> 0:33:13.080
<v Speaker 5>Like some of this is going to be roster mechanics

0:33:13.120 --> 0:33:15.200
<v Speaker 5>and just sort of. Positioning so let's just make sure

0:33:15.200 --> 0:33:17.080
<v Speaker 5>that we can get a good evaluation of the players

0:33:17.080 --> 0:33:18.520
<v Speaker 5>that we need to see so we can make the

0:33:18.560 --> 0:33:21.040
<v Speaker 5>right decision when we have to make that, decision you,

0:33:21.040 --> 0:33:21.560
<v Speaker 5>know later In.

0:33:21.600 --> 0:33:23.120
<v Speaker 2>August all, right he had the thousand dollars.

0:33:23.160 --> 0:33:25.520
<v Speaker 1>Question i'm going for the million dollar statement, Here, nick

0:33:25.560 --> 0:33:27.840
<v Speaker 1>because we talked About montgomery and how much you liked

0:33:27.880 --> 0:33:31.160
<v Speaker 1>him coming, in but signing him also told us and

0:33:31.240 --> 0:33:32.520
<v Speaker 1>what else you did or did not do?

0:33:32.600 --> 0:33:34.760
<v Speaker 2>It running, back you really Like Woody.

0:33:34.440 --> 0:33:37.280
<v Speaker 1>Mark's year, Two you really like What Jawar jordan can

0:33:37.400 --> 0:33:40.080
<v Speaker 1>possibly do for you and down the line With british et.

0:33:40.120 --> 0:33:42.400
<v Speaker 5>Cetera, yeah those players helped us win games last, year

0:33:42.400 --> 0:33:44.280
<v Speaker 5>those two players you Mentioned, mark SO i Mean woody,

0:33:44.360 --> 0:33:46.000
<v Speaker 5>REALLY i mean we had to probably lean On woody

0:33:46.040 --> 0:33:49.120
<v Speaker 5>a little bit more than maybe we had, anticipated just

0:33:49.200 --> 0:33:51.240
<v Speaker 5>kind of given the. Situation but he played a lot of,

0:33:51.240 --> 0:33:53.520
<v Speaker 5>football played a lot of really good, football and every

0:33:53.640 --> 0:33:56.520
<v Speaker 5>times he was the best. Back him And nick really

0:33:56.560 --> 0:33:58.440
<v Speaker 5>were the two players that kind of played the. Most

0:33:58.720 --> 0:34:00.360
<v Speaker 5>and Then jawar is a good example of a player

0:34:00.440 --> 0:34:02.000
<v Speaker 5>kind of going back to What johnny, said like there's

0:34:02.040 --> 0:34:04.880
<v Speaker 5>a players on a practice, squad gets an opportunity to

0:34:04.920 --> 0:34:07.200
<v Speaker 5>go in a game and then he produces and he's

0:34:07.200 --> 0:34:09.000
<v Speaker 5>had a really good. Offseason so we'll kind of see

0:34:09.000 --> 0:34:11.400
<v Speaker 5>how it. Goes but that, group they kind of compliment one,

0:34:11.400 --> 0:34:13.160
<v Speaker 5>another all kind of different in terms of what they

0:34:13.160 --> 0:34:15.680
<v Speaker 5>bring to the. Table you, know if that's a if

0:34:15.719 --> 0:34:17.800
<v Speaker 5>there's a player out there that we feel can enhance

0:34:17.840 --> 0:34:19.400
<v Speaker 5>it overall, group then we'll look at it just like

0:34:19.440 --> 0:34:21.560
<v Speaker 5>we would any other. Position but, overall you, know we've

0:34:21.600 --> 0:34:24.440
<v Speaker 5>a combination of we got some pretty good young. Players

0:34:24.800 --> 0:34:26.600
<v Speaker 5>we go to a veteran And, david so we'll kind

0:34:26.600 --> 0:34:27.319
<v Speaker 5>of see how all fits.

0:34:27.320 --> 0:34:29.359
<v Speaker 4>Together, nick we had a Chance mark AND i did

0:34:29.480 --> 0:34:32.440
<v Speaker 4>to chat With Jerry schlepinski was actually in the, rain

0:34:32.520 --> 0:34:35.759
<v Speaker 4>but it was a really rivetant. Conversation we had fun

0:34:35.800 --> 0:34:37.880
<v Speaker 4>talking to. Him what can you tell us About jerry

0:34:38.040 --> 0:34:39.000
<v Speaker 4>as quarterbacks coast this?

0:34:39.080 --> 0:34:42.479
<v Speaker 5>Year, Yeah jerry is a great human, Being number, one number.

0:34:42.480 --> 0:34:45.319
<v Speaker 5>Two he's very, smart and he's a lot of experience in THE.

0:34:45.400 --> 0:34:47.759
<v Speaker 5>Nfl he's had multitude of different. Roles he's got a

0:34:47.800 --> 0:34:50.319
<v Speaker 5>really good demeanor and he's got a really good. Personality

0:34:50.760 --> 0:34:53.200
<v Speaker 5>he understands the system very. Well he's been in a

0:34:53.200 --> 0:34:56.319
<v Speaker 5>lot of, systems you, know whether it was here with

0:34:56.400 --> 0:34:59.960
<v Speaker 5>The giants In New, England, Miami jerry's seen a. Lot

0:35:00.800 --> 0:35:03.160
<v Speaker 5>and you, know he and Coach kayley have worked together.

0:35:03.200 --> 0:35:05.759
<v Speaker 5>Previously so again you're just trying to making sure that

0:35:05.800 --> 0:35:08.920
<v Speaker 5>you're kind of speaking the same, language you, know across.

0:35:09.000 --> 0:35:12.439
<v Speaker 5>Positions but you, know Know jerry personally a long. Time

0:35:12.480 --> 0:35:14.319
<v Speaker 5>he AND i were. TEAMMATES i don't think he ever

0:35:14.400 --> 0:35:16.520
<v Speaker 5>dropped the pass THAT i threw to. Him so used

0:35:16.560 --> 0:35:18.080
<v Speaker 5>to have these big elbow fads that he used to

0:35:18.080 --> 0:35:19.560
<v Speaker 5>wear it coming out of the backfield as a full.

0:35:19.640 --> 0:35:23.399
<v Speaker 5>Back but very, reliable very, dependable and really a great

0:35:23.400 --> 0:35:24.879
<v Speaker 5>person who's a really good.

0:35:24.880 --> 0:35:26.880
<v Speaker 1>Coach since we really didn't talk too much in the,

0:35:26.920 --> 0:35:29.560
<v Speaker 1>offseason this jumped out to. Me you, know a lot

0:35:29.600 --> 0:35:32.319
<v Speaker 1>of guys on your, staff on the coaching staff who

0:35:32.400 --> 0:35:34.920
<v Speaker 1>interviewed other, places and a lot of guys are, back

0:35:35.239 --> 0:35:37.560
<v Speaker 1>which is a great thing for The Houston, texans and

0:35:37.600 --> 0:35:39.719
<v Speaker 1>those guys will get their shot at some, point but

0:35:39.760 --> 0:35:41.399
<v Speaker 1>that's got to really make you feel good that they

0:35:41.400 --> 0:35:44.880
<v Speaker 1>were wanted and yet they're back and helping you win football.

0:35:44.920 --> 0:35:45.240
<v Speaker 2>Games.

0:35:45.480 --> 0:35:48.120
<v Speaker 5>YEAH i, mean we're fortunate we've had success to the

0:35:48.160 --> 0:35:51.000
<v Speaker 5>program and they've earned the, opportunity and it's a reflection

0:35:51.320 --> 0:35:54.160
<v Speaker 5>on what the players have done and what they've been

0:35:54.200 --> 0:35:57.360
<v Speaker 5>able to do with the. Players, so you, know everybody

0:35:57.360 --> 0:35:59.759
<v Speaker 5>around the league kind of watches other teams and they

0:35:59.800 --> 0:36:02.960
<v Speaker 5>have understanding of different, coaches so you, know it speaks

0:36:03.000 --> 0:36:06.000
<v Speaker 5>a lot to them. Individually it says a lot about

0:36:06.200 --> 0:36:09.319
<v Speaker 5>the staff That denko has put, together and at some

0:36:09.400 --> 0:36:11.480
<v Speaker 5>point we know it's just no different than. Players you're

0:36:11.480 --> 0:36:13.680
<v Speaker 5>probably gonna lose, players you're probably gonna lose some coaches

0:36:13.719 --> 0:36:16.279
<v Speaker 5>along the. Way so part of our responsibility in job

0:36:16.320 --> 0:36:17.759
<v Speaker 5>to make sure that we're instant late and we have

0:36:17.800 --> 0:36:20.120
<v Speaker 5>an infrastructure in place that we can absorb a. Loss

0:36:20.320 --> 0:36:22.319
<v Speaker 5>maybe it's, internally but then if we, can if we

0:36:22.360 --> 0:36:24.799
<v Speaker 5>have to go look externally for a, replacement then we're

0:36:24.800 --> 0:36:25.560
<v Speaker 5>prepared to do that as.

0:36:25.600 --> 0:36:25.759
<v Speaker 2>Well.

0:36:25.880 --> 0:36:28.000

<v Speaker 4>TOTALLY i totally understand that, One.

0:39:00.960 --> 0:39:02.680
<v Speaker 2>Like that's all the. Carbs you could just get the

0:39:02.719 --> 0:39:03.400

<v Speaker 5>and that CAN i get To, yeah, sure go. Ahead

0:39:10.719 --> 0:39:11.120
<v Speaker 5>now we know.

0:39:11.120 --> 0:39:14.920
<v Speaker 4>You're never one hundred percent unplugged to the extent that

0:39:14.960 --> 0:39:16.000
<v Speaker 4>you can during that.

0:39:16.040 --> 0:39:17.239
<v Speaker 3>Break how important is?

0:39:17.280 --> 0:39:19.759
<v Speaker 4>It because we Heard demiko talking about how you Nick

0:39:19.800 --> 0:39:21.920
<v Speaker 4>keyley would text him and because like, Dude i'm on,

0:39:22.000 --> 0:39:25.600
<v Speaker 4>Break we're on, break go, relax can? YOU i know

0:39:25.640 --> 0:39:29.280
<v Speaker 4>you can't ever get one hundred percent, unplugged but when.

0:39:29.120 --> 0:39:32.880
<v Speaker 3>You, can how? Refreshing how much does that help? You in?

0:39:32.920 --> 0:39:36.400
<v Speaker 5>Particular, NO i second kind of What demko said or.

0:39:36.440 --> 0:39:39.680
<v Speaker 5>Expressed the reality is we all need time away from

0:39:39.680 --> 0:39:42.040
<v Speaker 5>what we do just to kind of clear our minds

0:39:42.080 --> 0:39:44.120
<v Speaker 5>and clear our. Heads and you need to, Reset you

0:39:44.160 --> 0:39:47.760
<v Speaker 5>need to. REFRESH i, MEAN i, KNOW i mean basic, sleep,

0:39:47.960 --> 0:39:51.440
<v Speaker 5>nutrition all, exercise all those things are. Important SO i

0:39:51.440 --> 0:39:54.840
<v Speaker 5>think everybody has a tendency during their time off to

0:39:55.000 --> 0:39:57.120
<v Speaker 5>focus on those things and have a heightened. Awareness, well

0:39:57.160 --> 0:39:59.680
<v Speaker 5>the reality is when you come back into the building

0:39:59.719 --> 0:40:01.600
<v Speaker 5>and when you, start that shouldn't. Change so you have

0:40:01.640 --> 0:40:03.680
<v Speaker 5>to be. Disciplined you have to be intentional about. It

0:40:04.000 --> 0:40:06.480
<v Speaker 5>BUT i Mean i'm very, Intentional LIKE i DON'T i

0:40:06.520 --> 0:40:08.960
<v Speaker 5>try not to communicate very much With demico over the

0:40:09.000 --> 0:40:11.600
<v Speaker 5>summer unless we absolutely have, to Because i'm trying to

0:40:11.600 --> 0:40:14.560
<v Speaker 5>be respectful of his time and our time away and

0:40:14.680 --> 0:40:17.600
<v Speaker 5>keep the focus, elsewhere which is where it should be

0:40:17.680 --> 0:40:19.799
<v Speaker 5>on a family and on a day to Day and

0:40:20.200 --> 0:40:23.319
<v Speaker 5>so to your, Point, JOHNNY i try to kind of

0:40:23.320 --> 0:40:25.400
<v Speaker 5>not pay too much Attention i'd, say honestly over the,

0:40:25.400 --> 0:40:28.440
<v Speaker 5>summer kind of simplified and just trying to focus day

0:40:28.480 --> 0:40:30.880
<v Speaker 5>to day and the things that were really relevant and are.

0:40:30.920 --> 0:40:33.400
<v Speaker 5>Important try to do a lot of, reading try to

0:40:33.400 --> 0:40:35.880
<v Speaker 5>stay in certain, routines exercise and all those types of.

0:40:35.880 --> 0:40:39.359
<v Speaker 5>Things but the priority is To you're still always, Learning

0:40:39.400 --> 0:40:41.799
<v Speaker 5>you're still kind of thinking through some, things but there's

0:40:41.840 --> 0:40:44.160
<v Speaker 5>just not the sense of Heightened it has to be

0:40:44.200 --> 0:40:46.799
<v Speaker 5>done in such a timely basis because once we come

0:40:46.840 --> 0:40:49.000
<v Speaker 5>back here every day is going to change what you're. Reading,
