1
00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:01,320

Speaker 2: jukebox coming up. Our next segment, we're gonna hear from

8
00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:20,360
Speaker 2: Darya Gumble, who was out the golf tournament today, caught

9
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:22,239
Speaker 2: up with Drew Doherty. And then we're gonna hear a

10
00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:24,680
Speaker 2: little bit from each of the ten to nine draft

11
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:27,400
Speaker 2: nine yeah, nine draft picks the Texans made.

12
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:29,160
Speaker 1: So we're gonna hear that a little bit later. We'll

13
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:32,120
Speaker 1: go around the other Feather's a rumor that I heard

14
00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:33,839
Speaker 1: or read, I.

15
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:35,640
Speaker 2: Think it was today or Sunday, I can't remember, about

16
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:39,319
Speaker 2: the Baltimore Ravens, which I thought was very interesting and

17
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:41,960
Speaker 2: it was one of the reasons why my bold prediction,

18
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:43,680
Speaker 2: which I said to Mark I said this the other day.

19
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:45,440
Speaker 2: I reminded him, I said, you know what my bold

20
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:48,200
Speaker 2: prediction was about Lamar Jackson was that he was gonna sign.

21
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:50,920
Speaker 2: It was gonna be announced on draft day. And exactly

22
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:53,280
Speaker 2: it was. On draft Day Thursday was announced he was

23
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 2: staying with the Ravens. But what if he had not

24
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 2: stayed with the Ravens. Hmm, We're get into that a

25
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:00,920
Speaker 2: little bit. But kicking off the show, so, our good

26
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 2: friend James Palmer NFL Network had a lot to say,

27
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:10,679
Speaker 2: especially because we drafted a Buck guy. Why does that matter? Well,

28
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 2: James is a Buck guy, Alum. You know CJ's job

29
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 2: pretty well. He's very excited for the Texans. He sat

30
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 2: down with Drew Doherty and they talked about a lot.

31
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 2: Let's get to it right here.

32
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 3: It's all it's been too long.

33
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 4: I don't think you and I have done this, James

34
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:25,960
Speaker 4: Palmer of the NFL Network. I don't think you and

35
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:29,120
Speaker 4: I have done this since COVID. That's inexcusable. So, first

36
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 4: of all, welcome.

37
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:33,759
Speaker 5: See inexcusable on your part, Drew considered it. I can't

38
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:35,120
Speaker 5: invite myself onto this.

39
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 3: No, I'm taking a blame. It's on me.

40
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 4: It's not you at Yeah, okay, yeah, but it's great

41
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 4: to see you. You're the perfect guy to talk to anytime, really,

42
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 4: but especially now because you've got a couple of degrees

43
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 4: from Ohio state. You work in the NFL. Yeah, your

44
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 4: point at there you go, and you have been bird

45
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 4: dogging this stuff all along, not just this year, but

46
00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:59,560
Speaker 4: for years now. And for folks that don't know, James

47
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 4: also worked here in Houston about a decade ago, did

48
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 4: a great job on a great place that business wise

49
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 4: had some thing.

50
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:08,800
Speaker 3: But yeah, the content, the product was phenomenal.

51
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 6: I stand by the content.

52
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:10,960
Speaker 3: I do too. Yeah it was.

53
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:12,920
Speaker 4: It was awesome and I wish it would something like

54
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 4: that would come back.

55
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:15,639
Speaker 3: But anyways, C J.

56
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 4: Stroud is a Houston, Texan and in the run up

57
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 4: to the draft, the weeks leading up to the draft,

58
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:25,680
Speaker 4: we heard lots of stuff about different options, but really,

59
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 4: wasn't it all along kind of an Okham's razor type

60
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 4: of thing. The simplest and smartest and most logical choice

61
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:37,080
Speaker 4: was the right one. If Bryce Young is gone, you

62
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:39,520
Speaker 4: take the other great quarterback at two. Is that kind

63
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 4: of ultimately what we saw?

64
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:43,520
Speaker 6: Yeah, it is. It is true.

65
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:46,799
Speaker 5: Like I understand Anthony Richardson, I understand the allure of

66
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 5: Anthony Richardson. I understand the love that he was getting

67
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 5: in the draft process because the ceiling and the capability

68
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 5: of possibly getting up there is astronomical. Like I remember

69
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:02,520
Speaker 5: talking to guys and coaches that were on the field

70
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 5: at the combine that had never seen him up close before,

71
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 5: and they were like, it's like a Greek god, Like

72
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:09,239
Speaker 5: this is like, this is unreal. And actually one of

73
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 5: them made the comparison to CJ and they were like,

74
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 5: CJ is not a small dude by any means, and

75
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 5: like Anthony Richardson, is this thing out there physical physically

76
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 5: that's just remarkable, But when you really looked at it,

77
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:22,679
Speaker 5: you were like, and everybody I talked to around the

78
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 5: league was like, it was bryceon CJ a gap and

79
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:28,919
Speaker 5: then the other three. And however a team had them,

80
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 5: some teams like Hendon Hooker. Honestly they did Levis or

81
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 5: Anthony Richardson and Anthony Richard kind of in team's minds,

82
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 5: even though there's such a small sample size, kept climbing

83
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 5: just because of the possibility. I think the first two

84
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 5: check just so many boxes. It did seem like the

85
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 5: logical thing to do with where Houston was, the amount

86
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 5: of capital they had, And I honestly think, you know,

87
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 5: there's a lot of talk about Bryce Young in the

88
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 5: situation he's walking into when it's a pretty good situation.

89
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 6: He went, I think CJ. Stroud's walking into a pretty

90
00:03:57,680 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 6: good situation, Like.

91
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 5: How often do you be a top of the draft

92
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 5: type pick and have your tackles in place?

93
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 6: A really good run game.

94
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 5: I will see how the interior of the offensive line

95
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 5: kind of comes together, because you know, Dimko Nick have

96
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 5: done some things to shape shape that up.

97
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 6: A little bit.

98
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 5: But it's it's actually not a terrible situation. And I

99
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 5: think people were almost just overthinking it, I think, and

100
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 5: I think what happens in this process is it's very long.

101
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 5: We talk about it every day, and zero information was

102
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:32,040
Speaker 5: coming out of the Texans building. So what happens everybody's

103
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:34,839
Speaker 5: mind just starts going, and maybe we all left the

104
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:39,919
Speaker 5: logical best answer out, which was CJ. Strout's a really

105
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 5: good quarterback and the Texans need a really good quarterback.

106
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 6: And that ended up being the play all along.

107
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, and you watch every buck Gey's game. I know,

108
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:52,040
Speaker 4: but I just can't get past the accuracy over the years,

109
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 4: I mean the high, high, high completion percentage, the number

110
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 4: of touchdowns in his two years versus the number of interceptions.

111
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,599
Speaker 4: I mean, yes, there have been guys who have not

112
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:07,159
Speaker 4: been very very accurate in college statistically speaking, who have

113
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 4: gotten better, but they're very very rare.

114
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 3: It's so rare whereas you don't have.

115
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 4: I mean, he might be one of the most accurate

116
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 4: college quarterbacks of all time, considering how much you had

117
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,240
Speaker 4: to throw, the stress and the situations he was in

118
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 4: and so on and so forth. So with that in mind,

119
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,480
Speaker 4: what do you think, how do you think he marries

120
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 4: with the Bobby Slowick offense. He's the new offensive coordinator obviously,

121
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 4: but he's from that Kubiak Shanahan tree. It seems like

122
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 4: a very you talk about fits and situations walk into

123
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 4: with that regard, how much of a nice marriage might

124
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:39,039
Speaker 4: that be?

125
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:41,799
Speaker 5: I think it's I think it's a good marriage because

126
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 5: of his footwork, I really do. And it's it's something

127
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:46,479
Speaker 5: that I mean, I did his pro day at Ohio State,

128
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:48,720
Speaker 5: and I remember Steve Smith and I a colleagues and

129
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 5: my good buddies are staying there. I have if you

130
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 5: want to watch, you know, quarterbacks and receivers work out

131
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:55,799
Speaker 5: in a pro dad, I'm gonna stand next to Steve

132
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 5: and he's going to tell me what's going on. He

133
00:05:57,880 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 5: tell me everything about Jackson Smith and jag but we

134
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 5: were in awe over Marvin Harrison Junior, who's going to

135
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:04,720
Speaker 5: probably be a top five pick next year and the

136
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 5: number one receiver you know, in the draft. But he

137
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:09,480
Speaker 5: was just talking about CJ throwing the ball and it

138
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 5: was just like, just look at how he layers the ball.

139
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 5: Look at how every ball is thrown in the spot.

140
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 5: As you mentioned, the accuracy to make a play with it.

141
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 5: And that was a big part of Ohio State's offense too,

142
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 5: is the run after the catch.

143
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 6: A lot of this crossing stuff.

144
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 5: A lot of these big plays happen because guys are

145
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:26,720
Speaker 5: catching and stride the way CJ operates, But the accuracy

146
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:29,200
Speaker 5: plays a part. And kind of Ryan Day kind of

147
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 5: told me this a little bit, is like he plays

148
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:35,719
Speaker 5: the position with his eyes, his arm, and his feet

149
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 5: in Unison, and I think that's a huge aspect that

150
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 5: when I talk to evaluators, like, isn't really that common

151
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 5: in college quarterbacks because a they usually have just a

152
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:46,560
Speaker 5: lot of talent.

153
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'll trying to be nice, you know guys, these

154
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 6: guys coming out. Yeah, it still struggles.

155
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:55,839
Speaker 5: In the pros, but the way that he goes about it.

156
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 5: Some teams were in that I talked to were in

157
00:06:57,720 --> 00:06:59,279
Speaker 5: love with the way. It's like I go, I go

158
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 5: through my progression with my eyes, my arm, and my

159
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:04,039
Speaker 5: feet all in unison, and I'm on a platform to

160
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 5: throw immediately. And that's the way this offense is gonna

161
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 5: kind of work, the way he goes through it. And

162
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 5: that's a strength of his that not a lot of

163
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:14,559
Speaker 5: guys in the in this draft or previous drafts really

164
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 5: have had all three of those marry together so well,

165
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 5: and I think that plays a part. You know, It's funny,

166
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 5: like some people I talk to that obviously, the Kubiak

167
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 5: system is spread everywhere around the league, but guys that

168
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 5: really believe in it that are like you know, scouts

169
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:31,320
Speaker 5: or evaluators I talk to, They're like, he's a perfect

170
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 5: like fit for this type of system.

171
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 6: He's almost an old school quarterback.

172
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:37,240
Speaker 5: Like that's the way he was kind of described, like

173
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 5: maybe some people kind of have forgotten they get wowed

174
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 5: by and I understand it. Mahomes and Josh Allen and

175
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 5: Lamar Jackson and all these guys that do these things

176
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 5: outside the pocket and create everything. They're like, he's a

177
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 5: pure old school West Coast offense.

178
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 6: Pocket passer and that's no knock on him. They sit

179
00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 6: in the.

180
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 5: Process like we just don't see that, and it gotta

181
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 5: be very good at it very often.

182
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, and he could.

183
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:05,400
Speaker 4: He could do all those things, and like he saw Georgia,

184
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:07,680
Speaker 4: he could still run too, Like if he needs run,

185
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 4: he's gonna be.

186
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 5: I just never had to do it, like I'll be honest,

187
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 5: like and it's funny, like a lot of a lot

188
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 5: of discussion around the league A little bit was like,

189
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 5: you know, you always put into the program that a

190
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:21,560
Speaker 5: guy's coming out of into the equation. I mean, I'm

191
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 5: a buck guy, so I can say it like they

192
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 5: have an advantage. There's usually a talent that they have

193
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:28,880
Speaker 5: better than their opponent. They manipulate the system with the

194
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 5: hash marks and the way it works, like, but they're

195
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:34,200
Speaker 5: something you can't not the kid like for the system

196
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 5: he's playing it.

197
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 6: It's smart of Ohio State to win games that way.

198
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 5: And I think just he didn't have to run because

199
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:43,680
Speaker 5: he knew his he knew his options after his first

200
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:45,560
Speaker 5: two and that's usually where he was going to go

201
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 5: with the football, as opposed to go out there and

202
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 5: put the football sometimes in danger when you go out

203
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 5: and try to create too much, you.

204
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 4: Know, so the bona fides, you know, he's got them

205
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:57,559
Speaker 4: on the field. I was really struck in the press

206
00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 4: conference where he arrived in Houston with Will and Anderson,

207
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 4: and a lot of impressive stuff was said by both

208
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:05,319
Speaker 4: those guys, But the one thing that really stood out

209
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:09,080
Speaker 4: to me, he kind of casually was joking how Lebron

210
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:11,440
Speaker 4: James is the leader of Ohio and then it's the

211
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:14,720
Speaker 4: Ohio state quarterback. There's stuff that he's had to deal

212
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 4: with and not deal with, but yes, deal with, deal through,

213
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 4: talk with just he's seen so many things in that

214
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 4: position that most of us have never will never seen

215
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:31,080
Speaker 4: or never will. He speaks to that in his leadership

216
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:34,200
Speaker 4: and how he gets along with others both on the team,

217
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:36,560
Speaker 4: out in the community and all that, because that's that's a

218
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 4: rare position in which he's been and now he's going

219
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 4: to lead a locker room and maybe even more.

220
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:43,959
Speaker 5: Yeah, Dree, you got to remember, like college football, there's

221
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 5: no rules on like how often you have to talk

222
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 5: to the media or how often you're out there. There's

223
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 5: teams that hid guys like crazy Jalen Carter just went

224
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 5: to Philly at the ninth overall when he met with

225
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:56,560
Speaker 5: the Philly media. That was his third press conference of

226
00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:59,959
Speaker 5: his career ever. Like he just never talked to anybody,

227
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 5: Mark yeah and so and so, Like that wasn't Cjay's experience.

228
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 5: He was out in front the face of the franchise

229
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 5: as like I mentioned him once, Ryan Day and I

230
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 5: talked for a while at the pro day. He was

231
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 5: like he was he was the face of a fortune

232
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:17,320
Speaker 5: five hundred company. Like he's you know, you're the most

233
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:20,200
Speaker 5: popular person in the state. Everybody knows you. Go back

234
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:22,959
Speaker 5: and look at how his career started at Ohio State

235
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:25,319
Speaker 5: and the way that first game went, and how he

236
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 5: was destroyed by fans and by the media, and how

237
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:33,320
Speaker 5: he was just absolutely torn to shreds and it didn't.

238
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:33,920
Speaker 3: Really phase him.

239
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:37,080
Speaker 5: Like he came back and he can and he bounced back.

240
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 5: Go watch his press conference after his loss to Michigan

241
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 5: this past year's phenomenal. It's it's fantastic because I mean,

242
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:47,080
Speaker 5: the guy lost to Michigan twice. He's probably the greatest

243
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 5: quarterback to ever come out of Ohio State prospect and

244
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 5: just in terms of their career there and he and

245
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 5: he lost to Michigan his last two years like that that.

246
00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:59,080
Speaker 6: That paid that sat with him.

247
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 5: And you can see though, how mature and how professional

248
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 5: he was in that press conference after that game against Michigan.

249
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 5: And I think that his experience at Ohio State maybe,

250
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:13,760
Speaker 5: in all honesty this pains me to say some of

251
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:16,559
Speaker 5: the lack of success in those games I think has

252
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:20,559
Speaker 5: benefited him as a player and as a person off

253
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 5: the field. But as like you mentioned that press conference,

254
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:25,280
Speaker 5: like you also saw a little bit of his competitive

255
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:28,719
Speaker 5: side there, didn't you. Like you saw how competitive he

256
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 5: is in some of his.

257
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:31,000
Speaker 6: Meetings with teams.

258
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 5: They really loved how he had some edge to him,

259
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:37,400
Speaker 5: like he had some real competitiveness to him. I remember

260
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:38,680
Speaker 5: standing in the middle of the field at the Ohio

261
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 5: State Pro day and he, like him and Josh mccount

262
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:44,560
Speaker 5: are talking about basketball, and he's like and he Josh

263
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 5: was like, when you come, you know, out to Charlotte,

264
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:48,440
Speaker 5: we'll hoop it up and will and he's like, He's like,

265
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:50,559
Speaker 5: there's a court right here, Like let's go, let's play

266
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:50,960
Speaker 5: right here.

267
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 6: Like he wants to compete in everything.

268
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 5: I think his ability to lead a franchise, as Ryan

269
00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:59,839
Speaker 5: Day put it to me, he already did it. And

270
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:02,840
Speaker 5: so I think he's in a very good spot from

271
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 5: what he's learned to now step in and do it

272
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:07,560
Speaker 5: again because he did it. That's a that's a that's

273
00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:09,440
Speaker 5: a I don't want to say pro program, but you

274
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:09,959
Speaker 5: know what I'm saying.

275
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 4: At nine level, Uh, just point a clarification, I'm about

276
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:16,559
Speaker 4: a year or two ahead of Josh McCown. I went

277
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 4: to SMU. He started out at SMU before transferring to

278
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:22,800
Speaker 4: Sam Easton State. He's a jungle cat and he would

279
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:25,480
Speaker 4: probably he would probably beat C. J. Stroud on the

280
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 4: basketball court.

281
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:26,600
Speaker 3: He can do.

282
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:28,720
Speaker 6: Like like big time.

283
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:32,040
Speaker 4: He's a man like three sixty and everything that that's

284
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 4: just talking about his basketball skills, nothing else, nothing else.

285
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:43,120
Speaker 4: So uh he trade to get Will Anderson. You're you're

286
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 4: not able to You're probably not able to pull You're

287
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 4: able to pull it off if you're picking first, but

288
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:48,200
Speaker 4: you're paying.

289
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 3: A whole hell of a lot more if that's the case.

290
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 4: So this is kind of one of those reminders I

291
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:57,400
Speaker 4: think of why he played a win. Why there's no

292
00:12:57,440 --> 00:12:59,440
Speaker 4: such thing as tanking or should should be such thing

293
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 4: as tanking in the NFL. So for all this moaning

294
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 4: about why the Texans beat the Colts, at the end

295
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 4: of the season. Well, I think we saw a little bit.

296
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:08,679
Speaker 4: Now that's not the end game and that's not what

297
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:11,560
Speaker 4: you know. But I think things kind of work out

298
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:13,360
Speaker 4: and I think this is going to work out in

299
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 4: the Texans favor. And so if there's football gods, I

300
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:19,120
Speaker 4: think they smiled upon the Texans for trying to win

301
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:21,839
Speaker 4: and this is the reward. Am I taking this too far?

302
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:24,480
Speaker 4: Probably so, but you know it.

303
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:27,920
Speaker 5: I like that that helps Drew's head at the pillow

304
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 5: at night, that he's just the way he takes. But listen,

305
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:33,319
Speaker 5: like and you're right, And I think something people should remember,

306
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:35,440
Speaker 5: Like I've talked to coach about this all the time.

307
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:38,680
Speaker 5: You can turn things around very quickly in the NFL.

308
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:41,400
Speaker 5: The parody in the league is remarkable, and the number

309
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:43,760
Speaker 5: of teams that make the playoffs that didn't the year

310
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:46,200
Speaker 5: before and that didn't and don't like it's it's back

311
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 5: and forth every year, and if a couple of things

312
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:52,719
Speaker 5: go well, you can turn things around very quickly. I

313
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 5: think that you know, three was up for sale a

314
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:58,760
Speaker 5: big time. There was a couple of teams that were

315
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 5: really interested to to three and had trades in place.

316
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 5: If the Texans didn't take.

317
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:07,439
Speaker 6: CJ strout that they were at first.

318
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:10,520
Speaker 4: If they take Anderson first, there's nice for three is

319
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:12,960
Speaker 4: I mean unlimited, It's gonna keep going up.

320
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:14,840
Speaker 5: And because you think about you're now competing if you

321
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:18,560
Speaker 5: go Will Anderson first, you're now competing with everybody else

322
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:20,120
Speaker 5: who wants the same thing you do, and it's a

323
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 5: quarterback and the and the Cardinals are gonna sit there

324
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:24,840
Speaker 5: going like, all right, how do we jack this price up?

325
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 5: And they need a lot in terms of turning things around.

326
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:29,360
Speaker 5: I know people can turn them around quickly. I don't

327
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 5: think the Cardinals are turning things around all that quickly

328
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:33,760
Speaker 5: this upcoming year, but so they need it a lot.

329
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 5: And so I think the way they played it, you

330
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:39,520
Speaker 5: give up a lot. But the way it was played

331
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 5: to me, and I said this on NFL Network and

332
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:44,080
Speaker 5: like in the week leading into the draft, and it

333
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 5: was funny because we had leading into me on TV,

334
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 5: we had like this whole thing.

335
00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:49,000
Speaker 6: Of all of our mock drafts.

336
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:51,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, and not a single one of them had Will

337
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:54,040
Speaker 5: Anderson to the Texans at two, Like not a one.

338
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:56,480
Speaker 5: It was like Tyre Wilson or you know, obviously a

339
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:59,640
Speaker 5: couple of said CJ. And like I was like, how

340
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:03,360
Speaker 5: is the It's not something that people are putting together

341
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:05,520
Speaker 5: that there would be interested in Will Anderson. Now, I

342
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 5: guess some people think there's a ceiling in terms of

343
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:12,040
Speaker 5: and this happens sometimes with players like especially out of

344
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 5: like Alabama, Like he's gotten a lot out of himself

345
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:16,520
Speaker 5: with a great work ethic and great coaches.

346
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:18,320
Speaker 6: How much better can he get?

347
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:20,400
Speaker 5: But it was put to me by actually people not

348
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 5: with the Texans, like this would be Jamiko Ryans drafting

349
00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:28,400
Speaker 5: Dimico Ryans, Like that's the type of parlayer you're getting

350
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 5: off the field in your locker room you are now

351
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:33,800
Speaker 5: Like Like to me, it almost made too much sense

352
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:35,800
Speaker 5: if Dimiico wants to come in and change the culture

353
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:39,200
Speaker 5: and wants to have things going in a direction that

354
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 5: he sees his vision for the way.

355
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:43,560
Speaker 6: That locker room is going to work, Like Will Anderson's

356
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:46,000
Speaker 6: a slam dunk. Like one scout.

357
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 5: Put it to me. He was like, this is a

358
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:52,640
Speaker 5: generational human being. Like that's about as good of a compliment.

359
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 5: I hope somebody says something like that about me someday,

360
00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:57,320
Speaker 5: Like I don't think they will. I'm already this far on.

361
00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:00,360
Speaker 5: I'm forty so I don't think that's happening. Now, maybe

362
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 5: you can say that at some point, like just sweeze

363
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 5: it into.

364
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 6: This, But like that's as good as a compliment as

365
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:05,840
Speaker 6: you can give somebody.

366
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:09,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, he is gonna just run that defense. You're never

367
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 5: gonna have to worry about the effort on defense. You're

368
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:13,160
Speaker 5: never gonna have to worry about an issue that happens

369
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 5: during the week or within a game or in.

370
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 6: Halftime that he will that he won't be able to

371
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 6: clean up.

372
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 5: He's Demiko, and you were I think you were there

373
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:21,240
Speaker 5: right when Dimiko was there.

374
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:24,200
Speaker 4: You really Yeah, you set that up nicely because I mean,

375
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:27,120
Speaker 4: of all the leaders as players that the Texans have had,

376
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:29,720
Speaker 4: and this includes quarterbacks, Demiko stands.

377
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:30,000
Speaker 3: Above the rest.

378
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:32,440
Speaker 4: He's the best leader as a player that the Texans

379
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:34,320
Speaker 4: have ever had. It's not a knock out the quarterbacks.

380
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 4: That's just how powerful, how important he was.

381
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 5: And do you have an instance true that you remember

382
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:42,880
Speaker 5: Because I got to Houston in that locker room every

383
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:46,560
Speaker 5: day right after he left, right and I've never heard

384
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:48,520
Speaker 5: in any locker room guys still talk about a guy

385
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 5: that was gone like as often as those guys did.

386
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:53,560
Speaker 5: It was like it wasn't about like, you know, he

387
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:55,920
Speaker 5: would have made this tackle or whatever. It was like, no, no,

388
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:58,040
Speaker 5: it wouldn't happen if Demiko was here, or we would

389
00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:00,600
Speaker 5: have fixed this quicker if Tamiko was Do you have

390
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:01,160
Speaker 5: an instance?

391
00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:02,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, you got a few. I mean look at two

392
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:04,880
Speaker 4: thousand and nine, Brian Cushy comes in. He's a first

393
00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:08,240
Speaker 4: round pick, He's the rookie of the year. Defensively, he's phenomenal.

394
00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:12,880
Speaker 4: He talked all the time then since now how important

395
00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:16,880
Speaker 4: Demico Ryans was to his development and what he meant.

396
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:19,320
Speaker 4: So two thousand and nine, Texans go nine and seven,

397
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 4: first winning season they'd ever had high, high expectations. The

398
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:27,120
Speaker 4: next year, twenty ten, starts off. They go to four

399
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:29,560
Speaker 4: and two, five and three. I might be off by

400
00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:33,240
Speaker 4: a gamer there or so. There, Demigo Ryans has the

401
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:37,240
Speaker 4: leg injury and Texans win maybe two games the rest

402
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:38,680
Speaker 4: of the way and they have a losing season.

403
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:41,080
Speaker 3: Six and ten season. He comes back.

404
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:44,879
Speaker 4: JJ's added to the mix, Jonathan Joseph Daniel Manning.

405
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:46,679
Speaker 3: The next year they go to the playoffs and.

406
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:52,240
Speaker 4: The hopes for the Texans as a franchise. They're kind

407
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:56,119
Speaker 4: of their zenith there that twenty twelve offseason and then

408
00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:59,680
Speaker 4: he gets traded. And a very interesting kind of side

409
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:04,240
Speaker 4: note to that was Antonio Smith, the Ninja and Connor

410
00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:07,800
Speaker 4: Barwin were out on the NFL network because there was

411
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:10,600
Speaker 4: a nightly show that they had at the time where

412
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:11,760
Speaker 4: you'd have a player or two.

413
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 3: Coming on and they have news of the day.

414
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:15,400
Speaker 4: They chit chat and they were having a good time

415
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:19,160
Speaker 4: on the show, and the news broke during that show

416
00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:20,600
Speaker 4: that Demico Ryan's got traded.

417
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:21,879
Speaker 3: It looked like they've both been shot.

418
00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:25,679
Speaker 4: I mean they really colored drained from their face, like

419
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:29,880
Speaker 4: live reaction. Hey what do you think about your captain

420
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:33,560
Speaker 4: getting traded? And it was you know it, it took

421
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:35,480
Speaker 4: a toll and to take it a live a little

422
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:38,240
Speaker 4: further to answer your question, what happened the next year?

423
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:40,440
Speaker 3: Texans start out eleven and one.

424
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:43,800
Speaker 4: But then they go to New England and there so

425
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:46,159
Speaker 4: much is made of the Letterman jackets, but you know

426
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:49,639
Speaker 4: what happened. The Texans had lost Cushing in week five.

427
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:52,119
Speaker 4: It had Brady James, who was at the end of

428
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:54,840
Speaker 4: his career kind of leading things at linebacker.

429
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:56,360
Speaker 3: You had to pull a guy off the.

430
00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:58,359
Speaker 4: Street, and Barrett Rude, who was a street free agent

431
00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:00,800
Speaker 4: he was also kind of end of his career type

432
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:03,760
Speaker 4: of guy. Bill Belichick saw that, and I think he

433
00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:06,480
Speaker 4: went through his checklist. He said, well, they've got a

434
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 4: really good defensive line, they've got a pretty good secondary,

435
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:12,480
Speaker 4: and that's good for the linebacker position is susceptible. And

436
00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 4: what they do they ran wide receivers and running backs

437
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:17,159
Speaker 4: to the linebackers and they cruised to a victory won

438
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:21,159
Speaker 4: the Letterman Jackets. It was a pure mismatch that a

439
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:21,760
Speaker 4: brilliant coach.

440
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:23,280
Speaker 6: I kept putting the tight ends out wide.

441
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:27,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean it was that. So you missed Demiko

442
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:31,960
Speaker 4: Ryans in December in January the next year, and yeah,

443
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:34,480
Speaker 4: I could go on and on and on about what

444
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 4: he was he met as a player, But.

445
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 5: I think, like I was doing the Chiefs Niners game

446
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:43,639
Speaker 5: this past year and Andy had Demiko in Philly and

447
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:47,159
Speaker 5: I think for only a year, I want to say, yeah,

448
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:53,520
Speaker 5: and we were talking and he I remember him saying, like, oh.

449
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:56,320
Speaker 6: He's maybe the smartest player I've ever coached.

450
00:19:57,119 --> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 5: Ye and without it, and like he's been with he's

451
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:00,679
Speaker 5: been in the he's a All of Fame coach, has

452
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 5: been in the game forever and has coached a lot

453
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:07,080
Speaker 5: of players and to spend that amount of time, that

454
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:09,320
Speaker 5: short amount of time with a player, and to get

455
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:13,719
Speaker 5: that that quickly from demiico Is. I mean, that's kind

456
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:15,760
Speaker 5: of all you really need to know because Andy Kinna

457
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:17,840
Speaker 5: and it's not even Andy side of the ball, uh,

458
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:19,880
Speaker 5: and he spends so much time on the offensive side

459
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:22,400
Speaker 5: of the ball. So, like, I do think there's aspects

460
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:26,760
Speaker 5: of Will Anderson that probably go beyond being a really

461
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:29,880
Speaker 5: really good football player that if you're trying to turn

462
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:33,199
Speaker 5: this thing right now, you got like the face of

463
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:36,680
Speaker 5: your franchise on both sides of the ball with back

464
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:37,439
Speaker 5: to back picks.

465
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:39,040
Speaker 6: I don't I don't think.

466
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:45,359
Speaker 5: Right now, the the the entire what could I say,

467
00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:50,960
Speaker 5: the the entire like everything that goes with getting Will.

468
00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:52,879
Speaker 6: Anderson is is comprehensible.

469
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:57,320
Speaker 4: Yet Yeah, yeah, it's gonna yeah, you gotta you gotta

470
00:20:57,480 --> 00:20:59,199
Speaker 4: kind of let this thing play out to see it.

471
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 4: But he is potentially, like you say, a franchise changer

472
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:06,679
Speaker 4: for sure. Okay, let's wrap this up. I got We've

473
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:09,840
Speaker 4: we've been I've been gushing about these two guys. What's

474
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:12,800
Speaker 4: the biggest challenge going to be you think initially for CJ.

475
00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:14,800
Speaker 4: Stroud and then long term, what's he got to work

476
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:16,520
Speaker 4: on most What's what's his biggest challenge you.

477
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:17,040
Speaker 3: Think, James.

478
00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:20,440
Speaker 5: I mean, obviously, learning the position at the NFL level

479
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 5: is just a next level type of shure. It really is,

480
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:26,480
Speaker 5: And I think one of the things he's gonna have

481
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:27,760
Speaker 5: to do that hinted on a little bit because it

482
00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:28,159
Speaker 5: happened in.

483
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:29,960
Speaker 6: A few games that maybe helped mold him.

484
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:34,600
Speaker 5: But like he's been very successful, Like he really hasn't struggled.

485
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:40,120
Speaker 5: He really has been playing with Let's be honest, this

486
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:42,880
Speaker 5: isn't a knock to the Texans. The skill guys he's

487
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:44,639
Speaker 5: played with the last two years are better than the

488
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:46,600
Speaker 5: skill guys he's played with he's going to be playing

489
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:49,280
Speaker 5: with in Houston. Like, I'm very excited that John Metchi

490
00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:51,639
Speaker 5: is coming back. I think that's great. I think Dalton

491
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 5: Schultz was.

492
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:54,480
Speaker 6: A huge, huge.

493
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:57,520
Speaker 5: Move for him and for the organization because everybody was like,

494
00:21:57,600 --> 00:21:59,080
Speaker 5: why don't you just get one of these like young

495
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:00,840
Speaker 5: tight ends. You know, this is the best tight end

496
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:03,480
Speaker 5: class we've seen in a decade. Everybody's saying that how

497
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:05,199
Speaker 5: hard it is to learn the tight end position your

498
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:08,040
Speaker 5: rookie year, Like it's learning three different positions.

499
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:08,919
Speaker 6: It's really tight end.

500
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:11,440
Speaker 5: The center and quarterback are like the hardest positions to

501
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:13,920
Speaker 5: learn in your rookie year. So how are you relying

502
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:15,879
Speaker 5: on a rookie now? To have a veteran in there,

503
00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:18,320
Speaker 5: I think is huge for him. But I look at

504
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:21,080
Speaker 5: like he was playing with all first round picks like

505
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:25,399
Speaker 5: Chris A. Lave and Jack Smith, Jigba and you know,

506
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:28,280
Speaker 5: Garrett Wilson and all of the Marvin Harrison junior is

507
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:31,720
Speaker 5: gonna be like he's playing with guys that have ridiculous

508
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:35,040
Speaker 5: separation and that doesn't happen to a lot of guys

509
00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:38,320
Speaker 5: when they get to the NFL. I think that's something

510
00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:41,400
Speaker 5: he's gonna have to learn and adapt to. Is who

511
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:44,320
Speaker 5: he's playing with, obviously, but also it's a new system,

512
00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:45,359
Speaker 5: it has answers.

513
00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:48,720
Speaker 6: I just think obviously everything's a little bit different in

514
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:49,080
Speaker 6: the NFL.

515
00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:51,960
Speaker 5: But I do think like losing is something he's gonna

516
00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:53,280
Speaker 5: have to I'm not saying that Texans is.

517
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:55,800
Speaker 6: Gonna lose, but obviously everybody loses in the NFL.

518
00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:58,680
Speaker 5: He's gonna have to, you know, deal with that aspect

519
00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:02,520
Speaker 5: of the But I do think like he's coming in

520
00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:07,119
Speaker 5: more polished than almost most quarterbacks that come in. I

521
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:12,480
Speaker 5: know that's valued by Demico. The experience is valued by him. Uh,

522
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:15,040
Speaker 5: time on task and the success, the leadership, all those

523
00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:17,000
Speaker 5: things are valued by Dimico. Him and Bryce had both

524
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:19,600
Speaker 5: of those. I think him and Bryce have a couple

525
00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:21,040
Speaker 5: of the same things they need to figure out. And

526
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:22,120
Speaker 5: you gotta win over a locker.

527
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:24,960
Speaker 6: Room the right way. That's another huge part of it.

528
00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:26,800
Speaker 5: We talked to you, asked a little bit about his

529
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:29,399
Speaker 5: relationships with guys, and like, you know, Jackson's one of

530
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:32,040
Speaker 5: his best friends and had a great relationship with Paris

531
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:36,439
Speaker 5: and guys on that team. I think you have to

532
00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:38,840
Speaker 5: come in and do it the right way, and I

533
00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:39,600
Speaker 5: think that's hard.

534
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:42,720
Speaker 6: I think it's really hard. And guys lead in different.

535
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:45,360
Speaker 5: Ways, and it's going to be interesting to see how

536
00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:47,199
Speaker 5: he finds his path to lead. I mean, look at

537
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:50,560
Speaker 5: look at Herbert, Like everybody was knocking justin Herbert coming out,

538
00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 5: Like the guy's too quiet. He's kind of like a

539
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:55,600
Speaker 5: to himself type guy. We when you talk to guys

540
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:56,920
Speaker 5: in the Chargers locker room and be like, we just

541
00:23:56,920 --> 00:23:59,440
Speaker 5: watch him play. We just watch him go about his business,

542
00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:03,280
Speaker 5: and that's the way we follow him. CJ is gonna

543
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:06,320
Speaker 5: find his way to lead the locker room and maybe

544
00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:08,879
Speaker 5: having Will on one side of it and maybe that

545
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:10,560
Speaker 5: helps a little bit that he's not having to do

546
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:12,320
Speaker 5: the entire thing right off the bat.

547
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:16,520
Speaker 2: Excellent stuff there from James Palmer, formerly of CSN Houston,

593
00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:07,000
Speaker 7: On, Uh, just you know, getting healthy, you know, making

594
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:09,480
Speaker 7: sure that I'm able to stay available off season as

595
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:11,920
Speaker 7: I have been. So that's been my focus, just kind

596
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:14,520
Speaker 7: of minor tweaks, little things like that, just to make

597
00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:17,720
Speaker 7: sure I'm healthy. But besides that, just kind of recuperating,

598
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:20,120
Speaker 7: you know, getting getting back, recovering my mind and I'm

599
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:22,200
Speaker 7: getting ready to obviously new staff, so getting my mind

600
00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:24,239
Speaker 7: ready to learn new offense and stuff like that. But

601
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:26,399
Speaker 7: it's just been a lot of focusing on me. It's

602
00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:26,960
Speaker 7: been good though.

603
00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:30,040
Speaker 4: You've been around the block last year as a team,

604
00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:32,480
Speaker 4: tough season for the team. You're one of the bright spots,

605
00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:36,120
Speaker 4: so you made some contributions. How much more confidence, if any,

606
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:37,640
Speaker 4: does that give you moving forward?

607
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:39,320
Speaker 8: A lot of confidence, you know what I mean?

608
00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:40,760
Speaker 7: Like you said, I feel like I had a good

609
00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:43,040
Speaker 7: season personally, and I just want to build on that.

610
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:45,280
Speaker 7: So just kind of, like I said, just replicate what

611
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:47,680
Speaker 7: I did last offseason this off season to make sure

612
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:49,080
Speaker 7: I'm putting myself in a good situation.

613
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:50,520
Speaker 8: I'm heading into training to count.

614
00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:52,480
Speaker 4: So with all that in mind, how excited are you

615
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:55,560
Speaker 4: with the new folks here in Demico Ryans and the

616
00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:58,200
Speaker 4: rest of that staff and a really interesting offensive coordinator

617
00:26:58,200 --> 00:26:58,960
Speaker 4: and Bobby Slowyd.

618
00:26:59,040 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 8: I'm excited man.

Speaker 7: And and like you said, well, coach low I mean,

622
00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:10,240
Speaker 7: his offense is beautiful, so it's a lot of opportunity

623
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:12,280
Speaker 7: for guys to make plays, a lot of opportunity for

624
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:13,520
Speaker 7: guys to be put in different.

625
00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:14,359
Speaker 8: Situations to make plays.

626
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:17,360
Speaker 7: So we're all excited, man, Like I said, just champion

627
00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:20,119
Speaker 7: the role of learning the offense, you know, that's kind

628
00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:22,280
Speaker 7: of the focus right now, learning the playbook, learning the

629
00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:24,320
Speaker 7: concepts so we can all speak the same language.

630
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:27,080
Speaker 8: So when we get out there in campus, it's seamless.

631
00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:29,399
Speaker 4: Cool seeing another veteran in the running back room in

632
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:32,119
Speaker 4: Devin Singletray. It seems like a really dynamic room that

633
00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:32,840
Speaker 4: you guys got there.

634
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:34,480
Speaker 8: Yeah, it's a great room.

635
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:37,280
Speaker 7: You know, it's obviously last year's room was great also,

636
00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:38,920
Speaker 7: but it's just like you said, it's a different vibe

637
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:40,360
Speaker 7: in there, different dynamic in there.

638
00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:41,960
Speaker 8: And I like the room a lot.

639
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:43,480
Speaker 7: You know, we got a lot of playmakers, a lot

640
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:45,199
Speaker 7: of guys who've done it before. I've had a lot

641
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:47,920
Speaker 7: of success in the league, and so just like I said,

642
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:50,280
Speaker 7: just guys figuring out their own roles, and I think

643
00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:51,320
Speaker 7: it's gonna be a special room.

644
00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:54,360
Speaker 4: How did you spend Thursday night of the draft when

645
00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:56,119
Speaker 4: the first round was going down, and what did you

646
00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:56,760
Speaker 4: think of everything?

647
00:27:57,440 --> 00:27:59,720
Speaker 7: I actually what, I usually don't watch the draft, which

648
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:01,840
Speaker 7: is fun, so this year I decided to watch the

649
00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:04,720
Speaker 7: first round, and of course we shake it up, you know,

650
00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:06,560
Speaker 7: so it was exciting to watch. I felt like I

651
00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:08,919
Speaker 7: was watching the game. I mean, people are texting.

652
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:09,480
Speaker 8: Like, yo, you see that?

653
00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:11,120
Speaker 7: So no, it was it was pretty crazy to see

654
00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:13,840
Speaker 7: that happening live. And I'm excited. You know, we got

655
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:17,240
Speaker 7: two great players in the first round and they're gonna

656
00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:19,720
Speaker 7: help us win right away. So I'm excited to see

657
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:22,159
Speaker 7: those guys come in and help help them, you know,

658
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:24,480
Speaker 7: kind of help them learn the way of being in

659
00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:26,800
Speaker 7: the NFL, and like I said, helped them make us

660
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:27,360
Speaker 7: some plays.

661
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:29,840
Speaker 4: We'll see some of them, all of them at rookie

662
00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:32,040
Speaker 4: mini camp later this week. But what of the first

663
00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:34,159
Speaker 4: few weeks of the offseason program been like for you?

664
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:35,879
Speaker 4: How how much has that been helpful?

665
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:38,239
Speaker 7: You think it's been great, you know, just we've got

666
00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:40,280
Speaker 7: being in the city like Houston. You got guys are

667
00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:42,320
Speaker 7: gonna come to the volunteers just because Houston is a

668
00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:44,920
Speaker 7: good city to be in. So we've had great, great turnout,

669
00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:48,040
Speaker 7: great percentage of guys being there. And besides that, I mean,

670
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:49,680
Speaker 7: it's been good work. You know, we've been we've been

671
00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:52,720
Speaker 7: grinding already the last couple of weeks, and guys have

672
00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:53,400
Speaker 7: been getting after it.

673
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:54,080
Speaker 8: So it's been fun.

674
00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:56,400
Speaker 7: And like I said, being around the teammates, you can't

675
00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:56,720
Speaker 7: beat that.

676
00:28:57,200 --> 00:28:59,000
Speaker 3: All right, go rip it up on the golf course today.

677
00:28:59,040 --> 00:28:59,400

Speaker 2: of my favorite guys in the face of the ear,

683
00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:09,400
Speaker 2: Daria Goombuale. Along with Drew Doherty, I thought, why not

684
00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:14,120
Speaker 2: do a little Texans Audio juke box and tuck little rookies.

685
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 2: They're obviously all the rage, of course, so let's.

686
00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:20,400
Speaker 1: Talk to those rookies. Let's hear what they have to say.

Speaker 2: of Alabama's greats, Tomiko Ryans.

718
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:40,600
Speaker 1: What was that feeling like coming to play for the Miko?

719
00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:42,920
Speaker 9: Yeah, I feel like, you know, it's gonna be hard work,

720
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:44,600
Speaker 9: but I feel like it's gonna be easy, just because

721
00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:48,080
Speaker 9: I know what he is gonna expect. I know his mindset,

722
00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:50,160
Speaker 9: I know the mentality that he has, and he's just

723
00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:53,760
Speaker 9: similar to mine, like that relentless mindset. That's one mindset,

724
00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:55,080
Speaker 9: you know what I'm so, you know what I'm saying.

725

Speaker 9: So I'm just so thankful for you know, Nick, the McNair's,

726
00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:01,720
Speaker 9: all of them, for this opportunity, coach, everybody for this opportunity.

727
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:03,960
Speaker 9: I'm super appreciative and I don't take it for venton

728
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:04,280
Speaker 9: at all.

729
00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:08,480
Speaker 2: Day two started with the pick of Juice Scrugs get

730
00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:10,440
Speaker 2: a major car accident at Penn State.

731
00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:13,800
Speaker 1: How did things change after that accident for Juice?

732
00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:15,800
Speaker 6: Yeah, definitely, definitely.

733
00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:18,959
Speaker 11: I saw a lot of things, Like at DNC at first,

734
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:22,200
Speaker 11: definitely being so young and sit back and then watching it,

735
00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:24,760
Speaker 11: I definitely saw a lot and it definitely helped me

736
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:28,480
Speaker 11: just tweet little things and just understand, Anglos th real.

737
00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:31,680
Speaker 2: I have this weird suspicion that when we look back

738
00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:33,400
Speaker 2: at this draft, Juice Scruggs is going to.

739
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:35,360
Speaker 1: Be a guy that I like more and more.

740
00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:38,400
Speaker 2: And you know, here's a guy that I'll be honest,

741
00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:42,800
Speaker 2: I really didn't get on him until late in the process,

742
00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:46,120
Speaker 2: but really liked what I saw near the end. I

743
00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:48,080
Speaker 2: think he is going to fit this scheme. And Nick

744
00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:51,959
Speaker 2: Casario reminded us center or guard. He's played both in

745
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:53,800
Speaker 2: his days at Penn State. I'd like to see him state

746
00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:55,920
Speaker 2: at center. But we'll see about you. Scruggs. Now, guy

747
00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:58,400
Speaker 2: that the city of Houston knows very very well. And

748
00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:01,560
Speaker 2: if you throw up the U of h well, you've

749
00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:07,120
Speaker 2: seen Tank Dell work for years and they've been two

750
00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:10,280
Speaker 2: very good years, three very good years for the University

751
00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:12,800
Speaker 2: of Houston. And I don't know if there was anybody

752
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:17,280
Speaker 2: more gracious, more any happier to be part of the

753
00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:21,080
Speaker 2: Houston Texans. And he said during his press conference in

754
00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:23,560
Speaker 2: his interviews that C. J. Stroup played a pretty big

755
00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:26,400
Speaker 2: role in keeping him here in Houston.

756
00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:29,360
Speaker 12: Yeah, you know, because me and him was Nessie selling

757
00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:29,960
Speaker 12: on Instagram.

758
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:30,640
Speaker 1: Then he called me.

759
00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:32,960
Speaker 12: He was just like he was just asking me about

760
00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:35,800
Speaker 12: like what the other coaches were saying and things like that,

761
00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:38,040
Speaker 12: where they got me projected to go. And I was

762
00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:40,160
Speaker 12: just telling him, like, just make sure they come up

763
00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:42,640
Speaker 12: with draft me. Like I told him, I want to

764
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:44,680
Speaker 12: play with him. I told him we'll be We'll have

765
00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:47,560
Speaker 12: fun together, for sure. I feel like we're gonna do

766
00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:50,080
Speaker 12: our thing. You know, we're on a rebuilding thing with Houston,

767
00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:51,800
Speaker 12: but we're gonna for sure get over that hump and

768
00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:53,200
Speaker 12: we're finish start winning some games.

769
00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:55,360
Speaker 2: Damn right, You're gonna come win some games. Tank, tell

770
00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:58,080
Speaker 2: there's no question about that. Day two turned the day three,

771
00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:01,200
Speaker 2: and on Saturday, Texans had one on four oh five

772
00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:03,480
Speaker 2: and that actually turned into just one pick of one

773
00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:06,720
Speaker 2: O nine and a third round pick next year. Will

774
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:11,240
Speaker 2: pick one O nine became Dylan Horton, a safety out

775
00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:13,560
Speaker 2: of high school, got to college at two o five.

776
00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:16,280
Speaker 2: He eventually got to two seventy and now he's settling

777
00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:19,600
Speaker 2: about two sixty to sixty five. But he kept all

778
00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:21,440
Speaker 2: his safety skills and you can see that out on

779
00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:23,960
Speaker 2: a field. He's still in Hordon talking about going from

780
00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:28,600
Speaker 2: such a scrawny safety to a well put together defensive end.

781
00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:32,000
Speaker 10: Well, my collegiate career, I probably got to the college

782
00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:35,320
Speaker 10: weighing two hundred five pounds two hundred and fifteen pounds,

783
00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:38,960
Speaker 10: and I got up to two seventy five yeast.

784
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:41,920
Speaker 2: Man, he says, it's so matter of faculty, Like, yeah,

785
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:44,000
Speaker 2: I just went from two to fifteen to two seven

786
00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:45,480
Speaker 2: when I was in college.

787
00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:48,560
Speaker 1: Uh man, Yeah, that's gonna.

788
00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:52,440
Speaker 2: I think I did that too, but I just didn't

789
00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:54,600
Speaker 2: do it because I wanted to. He did it because

790
00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:56,840
Speaker 2: he needed to. Uh And he is gonna be one

791
00:33:56,880 --> 00:33:59,000
Speaker 2: of the players I think that we've kind of glossed

792
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:00,760
Speaker 2: over in this whole process. I think Dylan Hordanen's gonna

793
00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:03,600
Speaker 2: be a really, really fun football player to watch in

794
00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:05,880
Speaker 2: due time. Then it was time to go back to

795
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:11,560
Speaker 2: the Alabama Well Henry Toatoa. Here he comes, Captain Special

796
00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:13,640
Speaker 2: Teams guy at Alabama, did a little bit of everything.

797
00:34:13,640 --> 00:34:16,000
Speaker 2: Played at Dale South High School out in Cocker, California,

798
00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:18,320
Speaker 2: one of the great high schools in the country.

799
00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:20,040
Speaker 1: Here's Henry talking about coming to Houston.

800
00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:21,080
Speaker 3: I didn't really talk to him.

801
00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:22,080
Speaker 6: I didn't talk to him a lot.

802
00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:24,839
Speaker 5: I had like an inform beating with him, hadas doing

803
00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:27,319
Speaker 5: with him, but it wasn't nothing creat like really talk

804
00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:27,880
Speaker 5: to him.

805
00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:29,479
Speaker 6: Well that was the crazy bar.

806
00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:30,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, but not really.

807
00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:32,800
Speaker 2: Because you're a really good football player, you play at Alabama,

808
00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:35,239
Speaker 2: Texas don't have to talk to you. Man, They'll just

809
00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:37,560
Speaker 2: draft you because they trust you. And if you watch,

810
00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:41,160
Speaker 2: it's funny. I've been watching, actually not even for twenty

811
00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:43,400
Speaker 2: twenty three. I'm not even watching Will Anderson Henry Toatoa,

812
00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:45,799
Speaker 2: but I've been watching Dallas Turner, the edge player from

813
00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:48,439
Speaker 2: Alabama who I think is going to be another big

814
00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:52,160
Speaker 2: time football player coming from Alabama. And I keep seeing

815
00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:54,600
Speaker 2: Henry toato and Will Anderson get excited about that. So

816
00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:58,120
Speaker 2: that's good stuff. All right, let's hear from jareded Patterson

817
00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:00,520
Speaker 2: from Node Dame.

818
00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:02,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was a good day.

819
00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:06,640
Speaker 2: After Henry Toatoa, it was Jared Patterson coming in picked

820
00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:09,800
Speaker 2: twoh one. It was one of two picks the Texans

821
00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:12,600
Speaker 2: stayed with, which is kind of shocking that they stayed

822
00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:16,560
Speaker 2: with those picks. But Jared Patterson is coming to Houston

823
00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:17,799
Speaker 2: and he's excited about that.

824
00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:18,279
Speaker 8: Yeah.

825
00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:19,520
Speaker 6: I think it's pretty surreal.

826
00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:21,239
Speaker 13: I mean, at first, I want to obviously thank coach

827
00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:25,160
Speaker 13: Ryan McNair's Nicosia for forgive me this opportunity to be

828
00:35:25,239 --> 00:35:27,640
Speaker 13: with with Houston, And I mean, I'm just.

829
00:35:27,560 --> 00:35:29,359
Speaker 6: Really excited for one I love.

830
00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:33,520
Speaker 13: During the combine process, I was training in Texas, loved

831
00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:36,080
Speaker 13: the area, So it's pretty pump when Houston called, and

832
00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:38,360
Speaker 13: really just seeing the draft classes guys as you're getting

833
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:40,319
Speaker 13: in as well, and I think it's a really exciting time.

834
00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:42,279
Speaker 13: So mean, I'm just just really pump right now.

835
00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:43,200
Speaker 6: It's really surreal.

836
00:35:43,719 --> 00:35:46,239
Speaker 2: The pick that had me jumping out of my chair

837
00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:48,600
Speaker 2: on Saturday. And yeah, sometimes at picked two oh five,

838
00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:53,360
Speaker 2: it doesn't really happen, but this one it did. Xavier Hutchinson,

839
00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:57,480
Speaker 2: Iowa State two time all big twelve dude just gets

840
00:35:57,520 --> 00:35:59,000
Speaker 2: work done. I got a feel and we're gonna look

841
00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:00,439
Speaker 2: back and think this is one of the better six

842
00:36:00,520 --> 00:36:04,040
Speaker 2: round picks the Texans have ever made. Here is Xavier

843
00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:08,520
Speaker 2: Hutchinson on coming to Houston and his favorite Blue Belt

844
00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:09,680
Speaker 2: ice cream flavor.

845
00:36:09,719 --> 00:36:10,520
Speaker 6: Cookies and cream.

846
00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:12,759
Speaker 8: For sure, that Blue Belt ice cream cookies and cream

847
00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:13,719
Speaker 8: is top.

848
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:14,439
Speaker 6: It's top notch.

849
00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:15,759
Speaker 8: I don't think anything can really beat it.

850
00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:19,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, man, uh boy, he just endeared himself to a

851
00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:22,480
Speaker 2: lot of good people in Brenham Texas and of course

852
00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:24,640
Speaker 2: in the state of Texas that are Texas fans, so

853
00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:27,000
Speaker 2: Xavier hudginons Hutchinson is going to be.

854
00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:28,200
Speaker 1: A fun football player to watch.

855
00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:33,160
Speaker 2: And it finished with Brandon Hill, seventh round pick out

856
00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:35,040
Speaker 2: of Apopka, Florida.

857
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:37,800
Speaker 1: Talk about Apopka Florida with some football players.

858
00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:43,080
Speaker 2: Man, Brandon Hill will come bring the funk for this

859
00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:45,799
Speaker 2: defense and on special teams, he said, he misles game

860
00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:49,960
Speaker 2: after a few names that we all know pretty well.

861
00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:53,480
Speaker 14: Definitely, so like I started like watching football for real,

862
00:36:53,520 --> 00:36:56,839
Speaker 14: for real and like having like favorite teams when Cam

863
00:36:56,920 --> 00:36:59,360
Speaker 14: Chancellor Camp Chancellor that leads in the Bull era was

864
00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:02,279
Speaker 14: going on, so definitely looked up the Cam Chancellor and

865
00:37:02,640 --> 00:37:05,040
Speaker 14: guys in the league. Now Dowin James and a guy

866
00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:08,359
Speaker 14: like that Jamal Adams, guys like that. Is really trying

867
00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:10,960
Speaker 14: to just for them doing it, for them doing it

868
00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:12,640
Speaker 14: for such a long time at a high level. Just

869
00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:14,600
Speaker 14: really trying to take a bit to pieces of big

870
00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:16,840
Speaker 14: game added to mine, but also have my own, have

871
00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:18,879
Speaker 14: my own game, my own flair coming into a game.

872
00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:19,760
Speaker 6: So yes, ma'am.

873
00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:22,120
Speaker 2: Now he's not the size of any of those players,

874
00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:24,400
Speaker 2: but he certainly throws his weight around like one of

875
00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:27,160
Speaker 2: those players. There's no question I like the Cam Chancellor one.

876
00:37:27,480 --> 00:37:29,759
Speaker 2: I'd like to see more guys compare themselves to Cam

877
00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:34,680
Speaker 2: Chancellor because Cam was an absolute certified BA, a bad ass.

878
00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:38,480
Speaker 1: He was awesome. Cam Chancellor and of course Brandon Hill.

879
00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:40,440
Speaker 2: So there you go here a little bit from each

880
00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:43,120
Speaker 2: of the draft picks after they were drafted.

881
00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:45,320
Speaker 1: All right's go around the NFL. Next.

882
00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:48,400
Speaker 2: What's happening and a rumor that came out of Baltimore

883
00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:50,160
Speaker 2: I thought was really interesting. Let's sit on that next.

884
00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:52,040
Speaker 2: Right here on Texans All Access. We're going to find

885
00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:53,960
Speaker 2: a segment of this edition of Texans All Access from

886
00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:55,480
Speaker 2: the Hondae Texans Radio studio.

887
00:37:55,600 --> 00:37:58,120
Speaker 1: I'm your host, John Harris, Football on OU sideline reporter.

888
00:37:58,560 --> 00:38:02,840
Speaker 2: Let's go around the NFL things we heard, saw noticed

889
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:08,040
Speaker 2: this weekend and start in Baltimore, where Jeremy Fowler of

890
00:38:08,239 --> 00:38:12,760
Speaker 2: ESPN reported the Ravens would have considered drafting Will Levis

891
00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:16,279
Speaker 2: in the first round had Lamar Jackson not agreed to

892
00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:19,120
Speaker 2: a contract extension prior to the draft.

893
00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:21,080
Speaker 1: You're talking to people around the NFL.

894
00:38:21,160 --> 00:38:24,840
Speaker 2: Fowler believes that finalizing a deal for Jackson before Thursday night.

895
00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:27,680
Speaker 1: Was prudent for Baltimore.

896
00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:32,680
Speaker 2: Now those are they're they're related things, obviously, but if

897
00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:34,560
Speaker 2: they would have had assurances from Lamar, I mean, I

898
00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:36,759
Speaker 2: guess they wanted to get it done. That was kind

899
00:38:36,760 --> 00:38:39,080
Speaker 2: of why I thought that that draft night was gonna

900
00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:42,120
Speaker 2: be a big deal, because Tyler Huntley was already a

901
00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:45,040
Speaker 2: restricted free agent, and if you didn't really know what

902
00:38:45,080 --> 00:38:49,640
Speaker 2: was going on Lamar, could you not go without taking

903
00:38:49,680 --> 00:38:52,560
Speaker 2: a quarterback? You had to, I mean you could have

904
00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:55,720
Speaker 2: lost both of them. Actually, So when Lamar got done,

905
00:38:56,400 --> 00:38:58,920
Speaker 2: then it made sense obviously to go get say Flowers

906
00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:00,239
Speaker 2: and get Lamar some more weapons.

907
00:39:00,239 --> 00:39:04,439
Speaker 1: But I'm not surprised by that. The Ravens had to be.

908
00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:07,680
Speaker 2: Linked to quarterbacks in some way, shape or form, and

909
00:39:07,719 --> 00:39:10,239
Speaker 2: they would have the opportunity to take Levis. And that's

910
00:39:10,239 --> 00:39:12,680
Speaker 2: why my bold prediction was Lamar Is going on outside

911
00:39:12,719 --> 00:39:15,719
Speaker 2: deal for Lamar Jackson. If that wasn't gonna happen, then

912
00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:17,200
Speaker 2: they were gonna have to draft the quarterback, and then

913
00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:17,840
Speaker 2: Lamar might have.

914
00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:20,720
Speaker 1: Gone somewhere else. He felt slighted, but didn't happen.

915
00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:24,000
Speaker 2: We avoided that, and now with Levis ends up in

916
00:39:24,080 --> 00:39:27,359
Speaker 2: Tennessee where hopefully he does what a lot of us

917
00:39:27,440 --> 00:39:31,560
Speaker 2: think he was going to do there in Tennessee and

918
00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:33,760
Speaker 2: not play exceedingly well.

919
00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:34,200
Speaker 1: All right.

920
00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:38,280
Speaker 2: A couple other things. One that came out of Washington.

921
00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:40,160
Speaker 2: I don't know if it came out of Washington, but

922
00:39:41,880 --> 00:39:45,400
Speaker 2: it was rumored, and I don't remember who put this

923
00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:51,240
Speaker 2: out there, that the Washington Commanders contacted Andrew Luck about

924
00:39:51,239 --> 00:39:53,440
Speaker 2: coming out of retirement to play for the Washington Commanders

925
00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:53,960
Speaker 2: last year.

926
00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:59,680
Speaker 1: Luck is retired apparently, as we told them.

927
00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:02,239
Speaker 2: But Jim Irsay then put this out a little bit

928
00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:07,080
Speaker 2: later on Twitter and said, I hope that's not true

929
00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:08,840
Speaker 2: because that's tampering.

930
00:40:09,880 --> 00:40:11,439
Speaker 1: Ooh, And it's true.

931
00:40:11,440 --> 00:40:13,840
Speaker 2: It would be a clear violation of NFL tampering rules

932
00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:19,680
Speaker 2: had that actually been the case. So we'll see if

933
00:40:19,719 --> 00:40:22,640
Speaker 2: it was and who reached out to him and how

934
00:40:22,680 --> 00:40:26,040
Speaker 2: that information got out.

935
00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:28,279
Speaker 1: Because did Luck put it out there?

936
00:40:28,320 --> 00:40:30,360
Speaker 2: Because I mean, Luck didn't talk a whole lot to

937
00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:32,239
Speaker 2: the media, and media is not talking a lot to

938
00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:34,840
Speaker 2: Luck because they know he's somewhat reluctant to talk to

939
00:40:34,840 --> 00:40:38,280
Speaker 2: the media. But where did that come from? The Colts

940
00:40:38,280 --> 00:40:39,759
Speaker 2: put it out there? I mean, I wouldn't think the

941
00:40:39,800 --> 00:40:42,320
Speaker 2: Colts would put it out there unless they heard it.

942
00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:45,440
Speaker 2: I mean they heard about it from somewhere, but why

943
00:40:45,440 --> 00:40:47,840
Speaker 2: would it get out there from the commander side of things.

944
00:40:48,040 --> 00:40:52,319
Speaker 2: So interesting that Andrew Lucke was contacted and that might

945
00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:56,280
Speaker 2: have been a tampering rule, a tampering rule violation. Nick Foles,

946
00:40:56,280 --> 00:41:00,520
Speaker 2: speaking of Indianapolis quarterbacks, was released this weekend by the

947
00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:02,960
Speaker 2: Nnapolis Colts. I guess they got one look at Anthony

948
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:04,920
Speaker 2: Richardson and said, yeah, yeah, Nick, we're good.

949
00:41:05,160 --> 00:41:08,120
Speaker 1: Thanks for being part of this whole thing.

950
00:41:08,160 --> 00:41:08,600
Speaker 6: Goodbye.

951
00:41:08,960 --> 00:41:13,719
Speaker 2: And he seemingly is retired, as he said, and when

952
00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:16,719
Speaker 2: asked about his career in retirement, he said, almost every

953
00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:21,560
Speaker 2: year of my career, I've almost retired, which which is true.

954
00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:23,160
Speaker 2: I mean he talked about that when he was with

955
00:41:23,239 --> 00:41:26,560
Speaker 2: the Rams. I think he had talked about retirement back then.

956
00:41:26,600 --> 00:41:29,200
Speaker 2: That was twenty fifteen. I think then he ended up

957
00:41:29,239 --> 00:41:31,319
Speaker 2: going to the Chiefs, kind of got rejuvenated, end up

958
00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:36,040
Speaker 2: going to the Eagles. He became BDN if you know

959
00:41:36,080 --> 00:41:37,799
Speaker 2: what that means. That's the way they referred to him

960
00:41:37,800 --> 00:41:41,319
Speaker 2: in Philly. Won a championship in twenty seventeen, came back

961
00:41:41,320 --> 00:41:43,160
Speaker 2: in twenty eighteen. I thought he played stremely well. I

962
00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:45,040
Speaker 2: mean he played against us as well as any opposed

963
00:41:45,120 --> 00:41:48,040
Speaker 2: quarterback I've seen. He was incredible against US in twenty eighteen.

964
00:41:48,120 --> 00:41:53,399
Speaker 2: So Nick Foles released from the Annapolis Colts. I would

965
00:41:53,440 --> 00:41:55,319
Speaker 2: think on the verge of retirement, but we'll keep an

966
00:41:55,360 --> 00:41:58,479
Speaker 2: eye on that. A that'll do it for tonight's show.

967
00:41:58,680 --> 00:42:00,359
Speaker 2: A big thanks to all the draft pick for giving

968
00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:03,800
Speaker 2: this great sound, Daryle my Man, Drew Doughty, James Palmer

969
00:42:03,920 --> 00:42:05,319
Speaker 2: and all of you for listen. We'll see you next time,

970
00:42:05,320 --> 00:42:06,760
Speaker 2: everybody in As always, go Texans.
