00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:47,600

18
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:51,360

Speaker 1: Up on a Wednesday evening.

27
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 2: But before we get there, let's get to a little

28
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 2: bit of news with the Texans.

29
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 1: We'll go around the NFL later.

30
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 2: There's some news coming out of San Francisco and some

31
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:27,400
Speaker 2: big news coming out at well both a big news

32
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 2: once a contract in San Francisco, and then you got

33
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 2: some injuries and a little bit of contract situation in

34
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 2: Kansas City. So we'll touch it on that and we're

35
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:36,679
Speaker 2: going around the NFL, but we got to hit on

36
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 2: this big news coming from the Texans today. They have

37
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 2: placed Titus Howard on IR Now. I've seen a lot

38
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 2: of reaction to this on the twitters and ex or

39
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 2: whatever you call it.

40
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 3: Now.

41
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 2: I don't know, but I've seen a lot of people, well,

42
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 2: he practiced on Monday, and what kind of Hey, listen,

43
00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 2: if you practice, you can aggravate something, you can hurt

44
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 2: something something else. We don't even know that it's the

45
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 2: same thing more than likely is, but it could have

46
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 2: happened Monday in practice. They also could have looked at

47
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:10,080
Speaker 2: it and went, you know what, it's just not where

48
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 2: it needs to be to be able to play.

49
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 1: We want to be sure of this.

50
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 2: Let's go to IR and get it taken care of

51
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 2: so it doesn't fester and become a problem either way.

52
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 2: Titus Howard goes to IR. He joins Juice Scrugs and

53
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 2: Camp Johnston on IR. Three very important individuals, especially for

54
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 2: a game against the Baltimore Ravens. So how does that

55
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 2: change things on the offensive line? Weldriko Ryans was asked

56
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:37,080
Speaker 2: on Wednesday if he had his offensive line set and

57
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 2: he said no, it's work in progress. So it remains

58
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:46,520
Speaker 2: a work in progress. Titus Howard now in IR next

59
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 2: to Jew Scrugs. Hopefully they'll be able to come back

60
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 2: after four weeks and be ready to go week five.

61
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 2: As I think Land, I think it's Atlanta. Yeah, it's Atlanta,

62
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 2: and then it's back here for Tampa Bay before a

63
00:02:57,520 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 2: bye week.

64
00:02:58,080 --> 00:02:59,920
Speaker 1: So a lot of things are doing the off.

65
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 2: If it's a line, we know larrym Att Tunsel, we

66
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 2: know Shaq Mason, we know they'll be ready to go.

67
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 1: That's really what we know. More than likely.

68
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:11,520
Speaker 2: George pant at right tackle more than likely, but we

69
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 2: don't know. We got to see this thing play out

70
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 2: depth chart, said Jared Patterson at center, Josh Jones at guard.

71
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:20,399
Speaker 2: Could Jones go out to right tackle, could Michael Dieter

72
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 2: be called up from.

73
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:21,640
Speaker 1: The practice squad.

74
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 2: A lot of different things have got to play out,

75
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 2: but we do know no Juice scrugs, no Titus Howard

76
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 2: for the opener against Baltimore. With that as a backdrop,

77
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 2: let's get to our good friend, the executive vice president

78
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 2: and general manager of your Houston Texans, Nick Caserio.

79
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 4: Joining us now in the Hundai Texans radio studio, the

80
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 4: general manager and executive vice president Houston Texans, Nick Cassario. Nick,

81
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 4: How's it going great to be here game week? And

82
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 4: we are super pumped up? And I know you talked

83
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 4: about it on six ' ten a bit, but not

84
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 4: only opening day, but opening in that environment at Baltimore.

85
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 4: It gets everybody's attention really going yeah.

86
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 5: For a number of different reasons. I would say just

87
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 5: they've done a great job. Their program historically has been

88
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 5: one of the better programs in the league, so I

89
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 5: understand the challenges that we're facing, and they have a

90
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 5: lot of good football players and they create a tough

91
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 5: environment on the road team coming in. So we certainly

92
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 5: have our work cut out for us here this week,

93
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 5: but our players are excited about the opportunity in front

94
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 5: of us. I've said this a few times. If you

95
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 5: like competition, you like football, Sunday in Baltimore will be

96
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:20,919
Speaker 5: a good place to be.

97
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 2: Your former club used to have fans that would do

98
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:26,040
Speaker 2: that to Mark and Andre up in the box because

99
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 2: that box where they are, and Gillette is right there,

100
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 2: right by the fans, So I don't know some similar

101
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:34,840
Speaker 2: feelings there, Nick. I know you talked a lot about

102
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:37,679
Speaker 2: the offensive line and there's been a lot of different

103
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:40,599
Speaker 2: movement there because injuries and other things going on. But

104
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 2: you also made a waiver claim on Alex Austin corn

105
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 2: Ott of Oregon State.

106
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 6: What can you tell us about Alex coming here?

107
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:49,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, good size six one, two hundred pounds, had a

108
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 5: lot of experience played out there at Oregon State. Was

109
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 5: drafted I think the Bills took him in the seventh round.

110
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:57,280
Speaker 5: Had an opportunity to play fairly extensively in the preseason,

111
00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 5: and he puts together some competitive snaps. There's some similarities,

112
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:03,480
Speaker 5: not exactly the same, but some similarities to some of

113
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 5: the things that Buffalo is doing defensively, some of the

114
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:08,040
Speaker 5: things that we're doing defensively, and then he also had

115
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 5: some snaps in the kicking game as well. So the

116
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,840
Speaker 5: waiver process is an opportunity to get young players in

117
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:16,280
Speaker 5: your building and your program. The reality whether or not

118
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 5: they're going to actually be able to play, whether it's

119
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 5: that week or the following week, that's not necessarily what

120
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 5: the impetus is for that. It's a player that you've evaluated,

121
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:26,839
Speaker 5: that you like some qualities and traits, and you have

122
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 5: an opportunity to get that player in the building. So

123
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 5: historically there's about thirty to thirty five ish waiver claims

124
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 5: that typically take place, even with the single cutdown. This

125
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:38,840
Speaker 5: year you saw about the same thing, so it kind

126
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 5: of reverts back to the means. So I think there

127
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 5: were about the same amount that were claimed. There's a

128
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 5: handful of teams that claim four or five players. We

129
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 5: claimed a few, So you know, we'll see how it

130
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:50,160
Speaker 5: goes here with Alex been good to work with here

131
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:50,839
Speaker 5: for a few days.

132
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:53,919
Speaker 4: Nick, what can you tell us about the decision making process,

133
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 4: how difficult it is because we have these conversations throughout

134
00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:59,159
Speaker 4: the offseason, beginning of camp. Then injuries hit and you

135
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 4: have to decide versus pop versus keep them on the

136
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 4: fifty three and hope they heal up fast.

137
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:06,599
Speaker 5: Yeah, all those factors you alluded to are part of

138
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 5: the discussion. So we just have to figure out we

139
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 5: can't keep everybody. We understand that. But what are the

140
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 5: roster mechanizations that we have that are available to us

141
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:19,280
Speaker 5: where we can utilize them? And we talk about the team.

142
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 5: De Miko and I talk about the team. I don't

143
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 5: say daily, but pretty much daily. So we're talking about

144
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 5: players if we make this decision that could lead to this.

145
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 5: So there's a very fluid You have to be able

146
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 5: to just react and make quick decisions to move forward.

147
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 5: Just understand big picture what the ramifications of a decision

148
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 5: could be, regardless of what you ought to do.

149
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 6: All right, got Baltimore.

150
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 2: Will ask you a little bit more about Baltimore and

151
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 2: a little bit because you know, I like to get

152
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 2: to Scott and report on the rail.

153
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:46,039
Speaker 5: Oh no, we have that ready to go.

154
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:46,480
Speaker 1: Don't worry.

155
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:51,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I figured you would. But preparation in particular for

156
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 2: this team. Drew and I were just talking about this

157
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 2: a little while ago. I would imagine that for the

158
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 2: Ravens they got a lot of forty nine Ers film,

159
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 2: and I would imagine we've got a little bit more

160
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 2: of a University of Georgia film because of the changes

161
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:03,359
Speaker 2: in coaching.

162
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 6: How do you kind of go about that part of it?

163
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 2: Nick, Because I don't know what they're gonna do, but

164
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 2: you kind of do know a little bit.

165
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 6: You know some of the personnel, but you kind of

166
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 6: don't know. How do you go about prep for this week?

167
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 5: No, it's a great question. As best you can, you

168
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 5: just try to get a baseline understanding of what you

169
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 5: think they're going to do, how they're going to deploy

170
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 5: their people, and just some of the schematics that are

171
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 5: potentially involved. So the preseason, i'd say there's good examples.

172
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:27,440
Speaker 5: So a lot of the players that are going to

173
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 5: play Sunday that we're going to see haven't literally stepped

174
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 5: on the field in a preseason game, so they've practiced

175
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 5: with each other amongst each other. We don't have access

176
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 5: to practice, so unless there's something I'm not aware of,

177
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 5: but all we can go off of is what we

178
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 5: see and then you can go back and study is

179
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 5: I'd say a lot of preparation for teams. You're studying history,

180
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 5: you're studying coaches, studying their philosophy, what's their training, what's

181
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 5: their background. Is there gonna be something they've done previously

182
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 5: that might have some relevance, So the first week there's

183
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 5: always a lot of unknowns on a lot of different levels.

184
00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 5: I would say, specific to Baltimore, there's a personnel component

185
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 5: and there's also a coaching component. Coach Mankin's been a

186
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 5: very successful coach at his various stops. When you go

187
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 5: back and look at some of the things I think

188
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 5: he had Jamis and some of the Shawn I mean,

189
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 5: a number of different players they had when he was

190
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 5: in Tampa Bay, then he had a period that was

191
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:18,480
Speaker 5: he he was in college there, and then last year

192
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 5: obviously what they did at Georgia. So you can sort

193
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 5: of use that, but really, what you're gonna do, You're

194
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 5: gonna cater your scheme to your players, and then who

195
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 5: are the players, and that'll ultimately dictate how you're going

196
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 5: to play the game.

197
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 4: It's got to put a premium on in game adjustments,

198
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 4: especially opening week against an opponent like this with all

199
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 4: the mystery.

200
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, I would say there's a good shot by the

201
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:38,200
Speaker 5: end of the first quarter you'll have an idea of

202
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:40,960
Speaker 5: how the game is going to be played, and it'll

203
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 5: kind of declare on both sides of the ball, including

204
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,079
Speaker 5: the kicking game as well. So there's going to be

205
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 5: some concepts that probably repeat during the course of the game.

206
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 5: He might dress it up a little bit with a

207
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:52,560
Speaker 5: different formation. So that's where you have to go back

208
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:54,640
Speaker 5: and look at the tablets. All right, what happened on

209
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 5: the series? Where do we have an issue?

210
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:56,480
Speaker 3: All right?

211
00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 5: If they do this, is there something else that we

212
00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 5: can do to combat it? To your point, Mark, there's

213
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 5: a little bit of cat and mouse that takes place

214
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:03,920
Speaker 5: during the course of the game, but typically by the

215
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 5: end of the first quarter, the game is gonna declare

216
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 5: and you should have an idea about what the expectation

217
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:09,680
Speaker 5: is going to be moving forward.

218
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:12,640
Speaker 4: How much does it help that you had two road

219
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:16,640
Speaker 4: preseason games just for the whole operation of it all travel,

220
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 4: being in an opposing environment and dealing with that.

221
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 7: Now you're on the road to the opener.

222
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:23,319
Speaker 5: Yeah, you kind of take that out of it because

223
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 5: you're familiar more familiar with it. Now you can focus

224
00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:28,559
Speaker 5: on football, so you know, Okay, we're going to leave

225
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 5: the stadium at a certain time. We're gonna go to

226
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 5: the airport. Okay, the plane set up a certain way.

227
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:35,440
Speaker 5: When we get to the hotel, what's the routine. So

228
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:38,640
Speaker 5: the biggest difference for us is get up and go.

229
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 5: So all the preseason games have been sort of late

230
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 5: in the day, later in the day. This is a

231
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 5: one o'clock start, which will be twelve o'clock Central time.

232
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 5: So this is get up and go. Not too dissimilar

233
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:53,560
Speaker 5: to practice. So we practice in the morning, so at

234
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:56,439
Speaker 5: least our players are familiar with getting up, getting going.

235
00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:58,560
Speaker 5: The schedule is going to be set up during the

236
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:00,200
Speaker 5: course of the week. Where we're going to practic is

237
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 5: still in the morning. Players will come in early. We're

238
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 5: gonna meet before practice, so you get moving. You kind

239
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:09,360
Speaker 5: of can establish your routine. But to your point, some

240
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 5: of the operational things, we're all comfortable with it. So

241
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 5: now we just got to go out there and focus

242
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 5: on playing good football.

243
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 3: Next. CJ.

244
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 2: Stroud, named to captain, hasn't played an NFL game yet.

245
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 2: He's playing in the preseason. You could see each and

246
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 2: every game in the preseason he got more and more

247
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:23,599
Speaker 2: comfortable as you went through, and that seem to be

248
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 2: kind of be a theme with CJ. The first of anything, Okay,

249
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 2: get some area where you can improve, but then every

250
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:33,200
Speaker 2: single time he did something a second time it got

251
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 2: better and better. What are your expectations for CJ on

252
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 2: Sunday facing a Ravens defense that we know it's loaded

253
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 2: with some talent.

254
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:40,480
Speaker 8: Yeah.

255
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:42,319
Speaker 5: I think the point that you made, you're really looking

256
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 5: for just improvement in all players. So where they start

257
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 5: where they end up. Typically it's gonna take a little

258
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:50,960
Speaker 5: bit of time. So do not make the same mistake twice.

259
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:52,599
Speaker 5: Do you understand what happened on the play? Do you

260
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 5: understand what the correction and modification or something that we

261
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:56,720
Speaker 5: can do a little bit different. So I think the

262
00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:59,720
Speaker 5: most important thing for our players in CJ in particular,

263
00:10:59,880 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 5: is just one play at a time. That's all we

264
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 5: can control is that play. So focus on that play,

265
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:06,200
Speaker 5: try to execute it, then go to the next play,

266
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 5: and just try to stack multiple plays on top of

267
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:10,840
Speaker 5: each other. But I would say as a team, from

268
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:12,880
Speaker 5: where we started to where we are now, we certainly

269
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:15,479
Speaker 5: made some progress. And you know, this is another opportunity

270
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:17,960
Speaker 5: on Sunday to see how much progress we've made to

271
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 5: your point against a you know, really good football team.

272
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:21,599
Speaker 7: You've been to a lot of practices.

273
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:25,440
Speaker 4: I can remember the day they first used music here

274
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:28,320
Speaker 4: at practice as opposed to the crowd noise piped in

275
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 4: which I always wondered, is this from a concert? Where

276
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 4: did they get this crowd noise from? It's just blaring

277
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:34,680
Speaker 4: the whole time. But then they went to the music.

278
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 6: Can you speak to.

279
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:36,439
Speaker 7: That a little bit?

280
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 4: That evolution because you need noise of some nature to

281
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:40,720
Speaker 4: get ready for this environment.

282
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:43,680
Speaker 5: No, it definitely has evolved. I would say, going on

283
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:46,440
Speaker 5: the road, you're just dealing with volume. So how do

284
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 5: you simulate volume? So, because there's a compunic excuse me,

285
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:51,320
Speaker 5: a communication component that's going to be involved. There's verbal

286
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:54,800
Speaker 5: and nonverbal communication, and when you're on defense on the road,

287
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 5: like you can hear yourself talk, when you're an offense

288
00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 5: on the road, typically you probably can't or anything. So

289
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,560
Speaker 5: how do you simulate that in practice? Because you're trying

290
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:04,960
Speaker 5: to prepare the players for the conditions and environment that

291
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 5: they're gonna face that particular Sunday. So I would say

292
00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 5: the evolution of the music component as a little juice,

293
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 5: as a little vibe to practice, So I think the

294
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 5: players when they have ownership of that so kind of

295
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:17,920
Speaker 5: maybe gets them going a little bit as opposed to

296
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:20,600
Speaker 5: hearing just some crowd noise just pumped in the kind

297
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:22,319
Speaker 5: of a monotone the whole practice.

298
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:25,560
Speaker 6: All right, we've reached that part of the program. My

299
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 6: favorite part.

300
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 2: I always love this because I don't know that I've

301
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:33,320
Speaker 2: met anybody that really can understand or know the person

302
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:34,920
Speaker 2: on the other side the way that you do.

303
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:36,480
Speaker 6: And you have no notes in front of you, just

304
00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 6: rip it off.

305
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:41,079
Speaker 2: The scouting report on Baltimore, some guy named what's his name,

306
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 2: quarterback Lamar Jackson.

307
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:45,319
Speaker 3: Pretty good for.

308
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 5: The record, you are, yes, I was there.

309
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:51,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's pretty good. But what do the Ravens have.

310
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:54,080
Speaker 2: I mean it's first game, so there's gonna be some differences.

311
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:55,839
Speaker 2: But going in, what's the scount of report and the

312
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 2: Ravens new Yeah.

313
00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 5: I would say, really, John, it starts at the top,

314
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:01,160
Speaker 5: so you're looking at just when you look at their program,

315
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:03,760
Speaker 5: it's about consistency and it's about stability. So it starts

316
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 5: at the top with Steve as the owner, and then

317
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 5: really from Ozzie to Eric, I mean essentially they've been

318
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:13,240
Speaker 5: there from the inception of the program, so there's a

319
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 5: foundation that's in place. They have a very successful track record,

320
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 5: and the fact that coach Harbaugh is fifteenth or sixteenth

321
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 5: year as the head coach. I mean, I want to

322
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:26,679
Speaker 5: say him, Coach Reid and Coach Belichick, I think are

323
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:29,800
Speaker 5: the longest tenured coaches, and to stay in a program

324
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:32,679
Speaker 5: that long and have as much success speaks to I'd

325
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 5: say the stability at the top of the organization, and

326
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 5: I think there's certainly a model that teams can follow.

327
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:41,880
Speaker 5: As far as the team is concerned, I'd say they

328
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 5: have a lot of I would say elite football players,

329
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:46,880
Speaker 5: not just on one side of the ball or the other.

330
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 5: So offensively, I mean, everybody talks about lamarn rightfully, so

331
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:53,960
Speaker 5: it starts with him, and really probably the guy that

332
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:57,199
Speaker 5: should get more recognition than he does, who forget about

333
00:13:57,360 --> 00:13:58,959
Speaker 5: one of the best tight ends, he's probably one of

334
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:02,640
Speaker 5: the best football players in league is Mark Andrews. So sore.

335
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 5: They've revamped their skill group, so brought an Odell, drafted

336
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 5: Zay in the first round. Bateman's a holdover who they

337
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:11,760
Speaker 5: draft in the first round a few years ago. Has

338
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:14,200
Speaker 5: signed Aguilar, who's kind of been a couple of different spots,

339
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:16,400
Speaker 5: so they have a lot of speed on a perimeter

340
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 5: of their team. Offensively, they're probably gonna be a little

341
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:22,840
Speaker 5: bit more eleven and twelve and so Andrews we talked

342
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 5: about him and a guy that they've talked about quite

343
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 5: a bit during the preseason here is Isaiah Likely, who

344
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:30,400
Speaker 5: had some production as a rookie. So let's say very

345
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:33,880
Speaker 5: athletics skill group. Dobbins is coming off an injury, but

346
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:35,480
Speaker 5: they kind of have a good one to punch with

347
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:37,560
Speaker 5: Dobbins and Gus Edwards and then a guy to actually

348
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 5: put an ira, Keith Mitchell, you know, who had a

349
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:43,000
Speaker 5: really good camp, was fast as hell. So they've made

350
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:45,720
Speaker 5: probably more changes on the priff with the skill group

351
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 5: and the offensive line I would say is pretty much

352
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:51,120
Speaker 5: intact Stanley, they had a left guard competition who John

353
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:54,440
Speaker 5: Simpson won that and then you know Linderbaum is developing

354
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 5: one of the better centers in the league. Zeitler's been

355
00:14:57,440 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 5: a good player for a long time in Morgan Moses.

356
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:03,160
Speaker 5: So they have some continuity in the front most of

357
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:04,880
Speaker 5: the skill POSI a couple of skill positions they have

358
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:06,400
Speaker 5: people come back, and they also have some new skill

359
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 5: players and the defensive side of the ball, which I

360
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:11,440
Speaker 5: would say this organization has really hung their hat on.

361
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:14,680
Speaker 5: Nothing's really changed in terms of how they play defense.

362
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:16,480
Speaker 5: They've been a good situational team. They were good on

363
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 5: third down, they're good against a run. So they put

364
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:21,040
Speaker 5: a lot of stress on you. So even though they've

365
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 5: changed coordinators through the years from Dean to Wink, even

366
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:27,680
Speaker 5: go back to Rex to Wink and then coach McDonald

367
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 5: his second year in the system. So good front, a

368
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:33,440
Speaker 5: bunch of I would say, big, strong, physical players in

369
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:36,080
Speaker 5: the front. Two young, good edge players in a Jabo

370
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:38,360
Speaker 5: and Owa. They signed j d here kind of the

371
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 5: end of training. Can't they give them some depth. You know,

372
00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 5: Robinson who they took in the fourth round of kid

373
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 5: from Ole Miss kind of is working his way in

374
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:47,000
Speaker 5: kind of like Dylan Horton, you know for us. And

375
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 5: really they're two best football players on that side of

376
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 5: the ball at Rokwan and Patrick Queen. So they literally

377
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:54,280
Speaker 5: make every tackle every play. And I would say those

378
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 5: are two players that but they're on the field for

379
00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:59,000
Speaker 5: every snap. That's not we'll take them off the field.

380
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 5: They're on the field for every snap. I mean Brokwan

381
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:03,880
Speaker 5: got rewarded with the contract extends to the end of

382
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:05,520
Speaker 5: the season, and rightfully so. He's probably one of the

383
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:08,520
Speaker 5: best defensive players in the league. And in the secondary.

384
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:10,520
Speaker 5: They're a little bit like us on the offensive line.

385
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:12,960
Speaker 5: They've just had some moving parts here, just injuries and

386
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:17,160
Speaker 5: a number of other things, specifically a corner. So they've

387
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:19,800
Speaker 5: got some younger players, they've got some experienced players, and

388
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 5: Hamilton's role will probably transition here a little bit with

389
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 5: the trade at Chuck Clark and Marcus Williams is I

390
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:28,000
Speaker 5: would say a pre studying force back there. So and

391
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 5: then I would say they're arguably one of the top

392
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:33,920
Speaker 5: two or three teams in a kicking game. So that's

393
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:36,400
Speaker 5: coach Harbaugh's background, So they put a lot of emphasis

394
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 5: in a kicking game. The best kicker in the history

395
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:43,160
Speaker 5: of the NFL, and Justin Tucker good punter. So just holistically,

396
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 5: from top to bottom, organizationally, and in all three phases,

397
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:49,160
Speaker 5: that's what we're facing. So we understand the challenge in

398
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:50,880
Speaker 5: front of us. Now it's our job to go out

399
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 5: there and understand who we're playing and then be able

400
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:55,120
Speaker 5: to go out there and execute. In the end, it's

401
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:56,680
Speaker 5: going to come down to us being able to handle

402
00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 5: an X amount of plays situationally, and you'll see how

403
00:16:59,480 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 5: it goes.

404
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:04,160
Speaker 4: Great insight there on the Ravens who were the Browns.

405
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:05,720
Speaker 4: So I want to get into this for a second

406
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:09,240
Speaker 4: here your family, How did everybody react? Nick, You're from

407
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:11,200
Speaker 4: that part of the country where there are a lot

408
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 4: of Browns fans, and I don't want to assume anything,

409
00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:16,119
Speaker 4: but that must have been kind of painful for members

410
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:17,680
Speaker 4: of the Cassario family.

411
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 5: Yes, so, I so my dad actually, going back, was

412
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:23,160
Speaker 5: at the Brian type red right eighty eight game. Oh wow,

413
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 5: he was in the end zone for that game. So,

414
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:29,160
Speaker 5: and then in ninety whatever, that was the mid nineties,

415
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:32,720
Speaker 5: So I was high school transitioning to college there when

416
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:34,240
Speaker 5: they went through the hole. I mean, Bill was a

417
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:36,160
Speaker 5: part of it. Yeah, and then they left.

418
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:37,919
Speaker 7: They won a playoff game against the Patron.

419
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:40,280
Speaker 5: So I think the one thing you see is, I say,

420
00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:44,119
Speaker 5: Cleveland is a football town. It's a blue collar football town.

421
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:46,320
Speaker 5: So when there was a void, you know, you're looking

422
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:47,920
Speaker 5: for ways to kind of fill that void there a

423
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:52,640
Speaker 5: little bit. So when they kind of, let's say reappeared,

424
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:55,840
Speaker 5: if you will. So I think there was some natural excitement, excitement,

425
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:57,639
Speaker 5: and you know, I've done a good job here of

426
00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:00,159
Speaker 5: putting themselves in a position to put a competit the

427
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:02,280
Speaker 5: team on the field. But I think the one thing

428
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 5: that we've all learned the NFL is about transition and change.

429
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:08,160
Speaker 5: That's a pretty big transition and change. And a lot

430
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:10,560
Speaker 5: of folks that were in Cleveland at the time, I mean,

431
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:13,920
Speaker 5: Ozzie was still playing, and Ozzie transitioned from playing into

432
00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:16,360
Speaker 5: his role with the Ravens. So you have a lot

433
00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:19,760
Speaker 5: of I say, people rooted in Cleveland that are now

434
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:22,520
Speaker 5: with Baltimore. So, but that's the evolution of the NFL.

435
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:26,639
Speaker 6: So in Cleveland, is Art Modell a bad word? Why

436
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:28,800
Speaker 6: I should say? How bad of a bad word is?

437
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:28,960
Speaker 8: Is it?

438
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:31,320
Speaker 6: Kind of like Bud Adams? I should say that, But I.

439
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 5: Don't know if I've had that conversation where anybody is mentioned,

440
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:36,159
Speaker 5: mister Modell, So just leave.

441
00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 6: It once at that point.

442
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 4: One note on the offensive line and what the Texans

443
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:43,479
Speaker 4: are going through here having a back like Damian Pierce,

444
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:46,360
Speaker 4: is that a steadying force where hey, you just give

445
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:48,000
Speaker 4: me a crack of daylight, I'm going to make the

446
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:50,639
Speaker 4: very most out of it. How valuable is he to

447
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:53,520
Speaker 4: whatever is going on? No matter what is going on

448
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 4: up front.

449
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 5: Sure, regardless of what's going on, we're gonna need everybody

450
00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:00,240
Speaker 5: on Sunday and even Sunday, we're gonna need everybody. So

451
00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 5: I think what we need to do is figure out,

452
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:04,520
Speaker 5: all right, what are some positive plays, How can we

453
00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:07,919
Speaker 5: do it with whom and create an opportunity for our

454
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:10,159
Speaker 5: team to gain some yard to move the ball. So

455
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:12,520
Speaker 5: in the end, all eleven offensive football is about eleven

456
00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:15,520
Speaker 5: people are relying on each other and it's all tied together.

457
00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:19,400
Speaker 2: Okay, can you recite the emergency third quarterback rules from

458
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:22,760
Speaker 2: your head? I saw those pop up yesterday and it's

459
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 2: like three pages worth.

460
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:26,480
Speaker 6: I was blown away.

461
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:30,040
Speaker 2: But Nick, your thoughts on that decision by the NFL

462
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:31,720
Speaker 2: to allow that emergency third quarterback?

463
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:33,879
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, I think the simplest way to look

464
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:36,680
Speaker 5: at it, And if I'm wrong, then our PR department

465
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:40,639
Speaker 5: can crush me. But essentially, the players inactive, but you

466
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:43,320
Speaker 5: can designate him on game day with a certain role,

467
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:46,479
Speaker 5: whatever that is, and he's available only if something happens

468
00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:48,800
Speaker 5: to the two other quarterbacks. Right, That's the simplest way

469
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:50,879
Speaker 5: to look at it. So go through a warm upstand

470
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:55,120
Speaker 5: on the sidelines. Nothing really changed. So I think sometimes

471
00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:59,280
Speaker 5: when a new rule is implemented, there's a mountains of information.

472
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:01,680
Speaker 5: Try to just steal it down and say, all right,

473
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:05,119
Speaker 5: what's the practical application. So it'll be interesting to kind

474
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:06,919
Speaker 5: of see how teams choose to do it. It looks like

475
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:08,880
Speaker 5: there was about twelve or thirteen teams that carried three

476
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 5: quarterbacks on the roster. The others have two plus you know,

477
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:14,119
Speaker 5: one on a practice squad, one or two on the

478
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:16,600
Speaker 5: practice squad. So it's whatever you think is best for

479
00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:20,040
Speaker 5: your situation, so you don't necessarily have to allocate another

480
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:23,360
Speaker 5: spot on game day. He's an active player and if

481
00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:24,879
Speaker 5: you need to use him at some point where it

482
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:27,000
Speaker 5: becomes relevant and then he probably got some bigger issues.

483
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:29,040
Speaker 5: But that means something else happened with the two other

484
00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:31,520
Speaker 5: players that you know had played previously.

485
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:34,399
Speaker 4: Yeah, what's the crabcake consumption going to be like for

486
00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:35,200
Speaker 4: you this weekend?

487
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:37,760
Speaker 5: It'll be up to lad see if he has that

488
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:40,600
Speaker 5: on the menu there. So, but it'll probably actually work

489
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:41,800
Speaker 5: in a crab cake once in a while.

490
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:43,639
Speaker 2: So I was gonna say this crabcake fitted to the

491
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:44,919
Speaker 2: nick casterio diet.

492
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:47,600
Speaker 5: I would say, is a change up on the fish

493
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:50,040
Speaker 5: seafood front. So I'll work on it, not regularly, but

494
00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:52,199
Speaker 5: maybe once a month.

495
00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:53,760
Speaker 7: They got to be the good ones with lots of

496
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:55,000
Speaker 7: not the filler.

497
00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:57,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm probably gonna yell that for saying this, But

498
00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:01,720
Speaker 5: Coach Belichick actually used to have have crabcakes with a

499
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:04,560
Speaker 5: special kind of sauce sent to him. So like each

500
00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:06,720
Speaker 5: Sunday after a game. Oh yeah, you would have those

501
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:08,919
Speaker 5: because he really he you know, spent a lot of

502
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 5: time so he he loved him.

503
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:11,679
Speaker 3: So yeah, he was.

504
00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:14,840
Speaker 5: You know, sometimes some people enjoy crabcakes. I wouldn't say

505
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:17,119
Speaker 5: I'm a crabk guy, but I'll mix it in once

506
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:17,480
Speaker 5: in a while.

507
00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:19,880
Speaker 4: You're not having him flown in. All right, Nick, thanks

508
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:21,840
Speaker 4: a lot for joining us, Good luck, Thanks guys.

509
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:25,120
Speaker 2: All right's great stuff from Nick Casario. There Mark, We've

510
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:29,000
Speaker 2: now entered game week territory. And you know how I

511
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:31,439
Speaker 2: know this because Nick Cassario took two or three minutes

512
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:33,959
Speaker 2: breaking down the Ravens like nobody in the city can

513
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:36,000
Speaker 2: do other than me, and he did it even better.

514
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:40,320
Speaker 6: I I'm so jacked right now for Sunday.

515
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:42,040
Speaker 2: Like it's so it's gonna be so hard to get

516
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:44,360
Speaker 2: through these next few days to be able to get

517
00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:46,040
Speaker 2: on the plane to get the Baltimore to get ready

518
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:48,080
Speaker 2: for Sunday. No matter what I've said all off season,

519
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:49,720
Speaker 2: I didn't want to play the Ravens in the first game.

520
00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:52,199
Speaker 2: I don't want to play up there. I'm scared with

521
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:55,600
Speaker 2: the with all the explosiveness. I'm so ready to get

522
00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:57,000
Speaker 2: this thing going and see how it looks.

523
00:21:57,160 --> 00:22:01,879
Speaker 4: Absolutely, and with Nick's breakdown, I almost broke down. He

524
00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:05,480
Speaker 4: talking about the Ravens was scary stuff. I'm hearing about

525
00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:08,000
Speaker 4: this football team and all they have out there, and

526
00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:11,879
Speaker 4: McLean picking them to win the Super Bowl because he

527
00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:14,360
Speaker 4: wanted to be different. I hope I have that right.

528
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:16,879
Speaker 4: I heard that this morning on Sewn and Seth's show.

529
00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:19,960
Speaker 4: His weekly appear is there, so he's get it.

530
00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:22,200
Speaker 6: He's not alone, No, not alone.

531
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:23,320
Speaker 7: There's a case to be made.

532
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:27,639
Speaker 4: Johnny good defense, Lamar Jackson back, he stays healthy, the

533
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:31,200
Speaker 4: new weapons, you could see it all working. But I'm

534
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:34,480
Speaker 4: wondering about the backs, the age of the running backs,

535
00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:36,760
Speaker 4: the wear and tear more than the actual age.

536
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:37,960
Speaker 7: Never mind the numbers.

537
00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:40,800
Speaker 4: Gus Edwards and Dobbins and these guys have been around

538
00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:41,720
Speaker 4: the block a long time.

539
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:44,000
Speaker 7: Does it go forever for them?

540
00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:47,679
Speaker 4: Or does Lamar Jackson's mere presence mean so much to

541
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:50,840
Speaker 4: them that that's an honest keeping thing. On both ends,

542
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:53,399
Speaker 4: the quarterback keeps you honest, the running backs keep you honest.

543
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:57,840
Speaker 4: Lamar Jackson's a walking play action pass himself because he

544
00:22:57,920 --> 00:22:59,200
Speaker 4: freezes the linebackers.

545
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:00,800
Speaker 7: They're worried he's going to with the football.

546
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:03,720
Speaker 4: Tamiko RAN's talked about the discipline you need in order

547
00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:06,159
Speaker 4: to play them. I mean, this is a really tough

548
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:09,480
Speaker 4: customer to deal with anytime, especially week one for this

549
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:11,560
Speaker 4: team that's on the reload.

550
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:15,720
Speaker 6: I think what's challenging against them is the game.

551
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:17,840
Speaker 2: Of football's played with a lot of aggression and a

552
00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:21,480
Speaker 2: lot of football violence. And you want to answer aggression

553
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,680
Speaker 2: with speed in your own football violence, like you want

554
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:25,600
Speaker 2: to amp up and.

555
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:27,800
Speaker 6: I'm gonna go, yeah, I'm gonna have a little battle.

556
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:30,439
Speaker 2: And that's not the way you can play this Ravens

557
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:35,040
Speaker 2: team really, because the second that Will Anderson and John

558
00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:38,439
Speaker 2: Grenard decide you know what, I'm going hell bent on

559
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:39,119
Speaker 2: the outside.

560
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:40,320
Speaker 6: I'm gonna go get that guy.

561
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:44,800
Speaker 2: Is when you leave a seam and he goes exploit exploited,

562
00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:48,199
Speaker 2: exploiting it and runs for fifteen to twenty yards, and

563
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:49,680
Speaker 2: you're just trying to play the game hard. You're just

564
00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:52,320
Speaker 2: playing with excitement. You're just getting juiced up and jacked up,

565
00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:55,760
Speaker 2: and you really can't. You have to play this one

566
00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:59,920
Speaker 2: under control with aggression, but smartly.

567
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:01,800
Speaker 6: You have to envelop him in the pocket.

568
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:03,680
Speaker 2: What you have to get him to do is get

569
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:05,800
Speaker 2: Lamar to get his eyes down and look at you guys,

570
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:08,240
Speaker 2: and look at the defensive line and where's the rush

571
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:11,239
Speaker 2: coming from, and look for his escape lane and not

572
00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:13,480
Speaker 2: and take his eyes off what's going on downfield?

573
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:14,800
Speaker 6: How many that's what you need him to do?

574
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:16,840
Speaker 7: How many takeaways do you need to win this game?

575
00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:17,760
Speaker 6: I think you need to.

576
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:18,760
Speaker 7: You need to.

577
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:19,439
Speaker 9: I think you need to.

578
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:21,600
Speaker 4: You gotta play clean yourself. You gotta be plus yes

579
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:24,520
Speaker 4: young plus two plus give you another one. You need

580
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:27,760
Speaker 4: a big special teams play or two.

581
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:28,800
Speaker 7: In addition to that.

582
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:31,480
Speaker 4: I think now we don't know who they are yet, though, Johnny,

583
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:33,480
Speaker 4: it's funny because you know we were talking earlier. You

584
00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:35,679
Speaker 4: know we can talk about oh, Lamar Jackson, Odell Beckham.

585
00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:37,640
Speaker 4: They haven't really haven't played a game. They haven't done

586
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:40,800
Speaker 4: it yet in front of real competition, even in the preseason.

587
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:42,080
Speaker 7: So what's second to look like?

588
00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:44,720
Speaker 4: Will there be some rust or some timing to develop

589
00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:47,880
Speaker 4: well with the Texans. It's not like they've played one

590
00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:52,720
Speaker 4: hundred snaps together this unit. Stroud's thrown whatever amount of passes,

591
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:53,879
Speaker 4: not that many.

592
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:56,240
Speaker 7: I'll do better on the broadcast Sunday, I promise.

593
00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:59,040
Speaker 4: So it's not like the Texans have this world of

594
00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:02,280
Speaker 4: experience behind them. We don't know what to expect from

595
00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:04,359
Speaker 4: them either. They have to develop their own timing and

596
00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 4: what a place to try to.

597
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:07,520
Speaker 7: Do it on the road. All the noise, all the

598
00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:10,240
Speaker 7: defense that they present, particularly in the front seven.

599
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:11,600
Speaker 2: There's gonna be a lot of good things to come

600
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:14,399
Speaker 2: out of this one. Mark can not wait. One of

601
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:17,960
Speaker 2: the guys that's gonna be instrumental in this game is

602
00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:21,240
Speaker 2: Christian Harris. Sol Deep Slant with Dee b Sidu and

603
00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:23,240

00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:42,760
Speaker 2: watch party presented by Sky Vodka for fans to cheer

Speaker 2: I go. You're gonna have Houston Texas cheerleaders and a

617
00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:00,720
Speaker 2: legend and more than Toro.

618
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:02,920
Speaker 1: He's kind of big time in everybody.

619
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:04,800
Speaker 2: So we don't know for sure whether Toro's going to

620

Speaker 2: and a legend and much much more, and hopefully Toro

623
00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:19,440
Speaker 2: is going to be there as well.

624
00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:21,000

00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:06,959
Speaker 11: Is it different?

645
00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 9: I mean, you know, you feel like a little bit

646
00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:11,919
Speaker 9: more confidence to prepare for kind of know how to

647
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:14,920
Speaker 9: prepare four games. Still learning, of course, but like I said,

648
00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:17,160
Speaker 9: it's just a lot of excitement involved. For sure, get

649
00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:19,040
Speaker 9: a chance to go get another team, you know, for

650
00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:21,320
Speaker 9: a whole complete game. And I mean, like I said,

651
00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:23,400
Speaker 9: the preseason counts, but it for sure starts to count

652
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:26,200
Speaker 9: down for the season. So it's just a lot of excitement.

653
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:28,040
Speaker 10: It's nice to get camp out of the way, preseason

654
00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:29,960
Speaker 10: out of the way, off season, out of the way.

655
00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:32,840
Speaker 10: You got a couple of former college teammates that are

656
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:36,600
Speaker 10: now NFL teammates, and Henry Toatoa and Willy Anderson. Do

657
00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:39,040
Speaker 10: you give them advice about what it's like now playing

658
00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:39,720
Speaker 10: in the NFL.

659
00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:41,359
Speaker 11: Do you have like a welcome to the NFL moment

660
00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:43,080
Speaker 11: that you I really you can share.

661
00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:45,240
Speaker 9: All I really tell them is just play the ball,

662
00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:48,080
Speaker 9: like beat themselves because I know, like for last year

663
00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:50,240
Speaker 9: for me, that's kind of what the main focus was

664
00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:53,240
Speaker 9: for me. I mean them guys like they went to Alabama,

665
00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:56,399
Speaker 9: so I personally feel like, you know, the practices and

666
00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:58,960
Speaker 9: a lot of the things aren't aren't going to be

667
00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:02,280
Speaker 9: much harder. It's just some more attention to detail. And

668
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:03,919
Speaker 9: I mean that's like I said, that's all it is.

669
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:05,520
Speaker 9: So that'd be my main message to him.

670
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:07,719
Speaker 10: Okay, tell me a little bit about your off season

671
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:09,639
Speaker 10: because we saw you in Hawaii.

672
00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:11,320
Speaker 9: Yeah, that was the only thing.

673
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:12,480
Speaker 11: What's that?

674
00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:15,720
Speaker 9: So that was the only thing I did, and that would.

675
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:19,920
Speaker 10: Still work because that was Derek Stingley senior. Derek's dad

676
00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:21,879
Speaker 10: was a coaching a football camp, and what'd you do

677
00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:22,320
Speaker 10: out there?

678
00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:24,320
Speaker 9: Just we worked out. We were out there for about

679
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:27,200
Speaker 9: four days so we worked out at Marcus Mariota's High

680
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:29,119
Speaker 9: School for a couple of days and then we just

681
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:31,200
Speaker 9: hit the beach for a good workout the last day.

682
00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:34,199
Speaker 9: So it's just a cool experience, change the scenery. But

683
00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:35,840
Speaker 9: I mean, we know we still got to work here

684
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:36,280
Speaker 9: for sure.

685
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:39,000
Speaker 10: I feel like you as you second year players that

686
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:40,880
Speaker 10: were rookies last year, you guys are really a close

687
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:44,920
Speaker 10: knit group between you, Sting Petrie, Damian Pierce, you guys.

688
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:46,400
Speaker 10: I mean, what has that been like just going through

689
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:47,400
Speaker 10: the experience with those guys.

690
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:49,360
Speaker 9: It's easy for dogs to get along. It's how I

691
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:52,160
Speaker 9: feel like it. But no, I mean it's been going

692
00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:54,360
Speaker 9: pretty well, and of course, like an off season, you know,

693
00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:57,080
Speaker 9: just pushing each other understanding like we're trying to build

694
00:28:57,080 --> 00:28:59,720
Speaker 9: a foundation, you know, for here and just trying to

695
00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:01,560
Speaker 9: kind of transfer that to the season right now and

696
00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:03,520
Speaker 9: what we're doing. So it just makes it a lot,

697
00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:05,440
Speaker 9: you know, easier to play for the guy out there

698
00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:05,959
Speaker 9: next to you.

699
00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:08,040
Speaker 10: I know you called them dogs before the interview, were

700
00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:12,120

701
00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:14,160
Speaker 10: you do, you have nicknames amongst yourself.

702
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:14,960
Speaker 11: I didn't even know that was.

703
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:16,400
Speaker 9: I know, Will is the terminator.

704
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:17,600
Speaker 11: Will is the terminator.

705
00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:19,680
Speaker 9: I've been hearing that since college. But yeah, I mean

706
00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:21,920
Speaker 9: other than that, I just I know we got nothing

707
00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:23,960

00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:35,160
Speaker 9: we we I got I kind of got off of it,

714
00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:37,760
Speaker 9: were playing them a lot lately because they kind of

715
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:38,760
Speaker 9: humbled me for sure.

716
00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:39,800
Speaker 11: Are they really really good?

717
00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:40,800
Speaker 12: Is nice?

Speaker 9: I'm not gonna I'm not gonna give him too much credit,

719
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:43,640
Speaker 9: but he's nice.

720
00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:45,200
Speaker 11: That's what Petrie said.

721
00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:47,720
Speaker 10: He I mean he he made it seem like Stingley's

722
00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:49,120
Speaker 10: like the man when it comes to Meg.

723
00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:51,000
Speaker 9: Yeah. I played them a couple days ago. It was crazy.

724
00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:53,240
Speaker 11: Is it what makes him so good at Madden?

725
00:29:54,400 --> 00:30:00,000
Speaker 9: Like, honestly, like the game, just favoring them, that's probably

726
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:00,720
Speaker 9: all it is.

727
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:05,080
Speaker 10: You always play with the Texans. This is still true.

728
00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:07,160
Speaker 10: I remember you saying once when you play Madden, you're

729
00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:07,920
Speaker 10: always the Texans.

730
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:10,760
Speaker 9: Yeah, That's what I've been doing when I played like random,

731
00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:12,200
Speaker 9: like just a random person.

732
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:12,520
Speaker 3: Yeah.

733
00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:15,320
Speaker 9: I mean so typically, like you know, we play Sting

734
00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:17,560
Speaker 9: or Patriot's just like you hit a random team, so

735
00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:21,000
Speaker 9: you know, yeah, so you only get one random Yeah,

736
00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:21,600
Speaker 9: that's just how that go.

737
00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:23,640
Speaker 11: Which of your teammates would you put on your Madden team?

738
00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:24,280
Speaker 6: Yeah?

739
00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:26,560
Speaker 9: On what offense defense? I need to live more.

740
00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:29,440
Speaker 11: Specific offense defense. Whichever, whichever one.

741
00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:31,360
Speaker 9: Shot everybody that's on there right now. I mean, like

742
00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:34,240
Speaker 9: you know, I'm cool with that for sure. I put

743
00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:36,640
Speaker 9: everybody in though, Like I rotate everybody on the team,

744
00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:38,760
Speaker 9: like while I'm more Madden, so like I'll be putting

745
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:42,920
Speaker 9: Mechi in there. I played like everybody like Tank.

746
00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:47,120
Speaker 10: Everybody Tank is a returner, He's a returner receiver.

747
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:49,920
Speaker 9: Like, like I said, I rotate everybody. So no, it's

748
00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:50,920
Speaker 9: pretty fun though, all.

749
00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:53,000
Speaker 10: Right, So week when you're gonna play Lamar Jackson, do

750
00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:55,560
Speaker 10: you ever get starstruck playing guys that you kind of

751
00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:56,280
Speaker 10: grew up watching.

752
00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:04,000
Speaker 9: I wouldn't say starstruck, nervous, not nervous. I think it's just,

753
00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:07,280
Speaker 9: if anything, it just brings more excitement to the challenge.

754
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:09,719
Speaker 9: I mean, because you work your whole life to get

755
00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:12,720
Speaker 9: to this stage. So I mean once the opportunity start

756
00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:15,680
Speaker 9: to present themselves. It's either like you're gonna barbecue meal, dude,

757
00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:17,840
Speaker 9: like you're gonna be ready for it, or you're not.

758
00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:19,320
Speaker 9: So I mean, you don't want to sit there and

759
00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:22,720
Speaker 9: just be like oh like just like fantasizing the whole time,

760
00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:24,840
Speaker 9: or like in amazement, like you got you got work

761
00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:26,680
Speaker 9: to do. This is a you know, growl man business.

762
00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:29,120
Speaker 9: So you just got to go out there and handle yours.

763
00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:30,760
Speaker 10: What about when you were growing up, is there a

764
00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:33,920
Speaker 10: particular linebacker player that you really modeled your game after

765
00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:35,000
Speaker 10: you like watching.

766
00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:36,960
Speaker 9: I like to watch Reggie Bush when I was growing up.

767
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:38,600
Speaker 9: Okay he was with the saying.

768
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:40,440
Speaker 11: So you don't even yeah, not even necessarily.

769
00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:46,600
Speaker 9: Yeah, I've never watched linebacker until I got to college

770
00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:48,640
Speaker 9: because that was when I didn't know I was gonna

771
00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:50,600
Speaker 9: play it obviously, like until I got to college. So

772
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:55,480
Speaker 9: that like I always focus on like running backs, wide receivers.

773
00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:57,360
Speaker 11: Well you were fast, right, yeah?

774
00:31:57,880 --> 00:31:58,080
Speaker 13: Yeah?

775
00:31:58,160 --> 00:31:58,960
Speaker 11: You were a sprinter.

776
00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:01,480
Speaker 9: Yeah, a little bit of track when I was younger.

777
00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:03,880
Speaker 11: I like how you say it like that, like I

778
00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:05,040
Speaker 11: run a little bit of track.

779
00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:05,320
Speaker 1: All right?

780
00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:06,120
Speaker 6: What was Georgia?

781
00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:07,120
Speaker 11: What was your best event?

782
00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:08,240
Speaker 6: Uh?

783
00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:10,400
Speaker 9: So I stopped running in like ninth grade and just

784
00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:14,400
Speaker 9: did it for conditioning. But like from four to at

785
00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:17,320
Speaker 9: least eighth grade, like I was running AU track one hundred,

786
00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:21,120
Speaker 9: two hundred four bout one. Bout one was probably my favorite, okay,

787
00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:23,040
Speaker 9: because it's just more competitive, but the two hundred was

788
00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:23,640
Speaker 9: my best.

789
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:25,600
Speaker 10: One, your best one. Is it true that your mom

790
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:26,960
Speaker 10: was your AU track coach?

791
00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:27,280
Speaker 3: Yeah?

792
00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:29,320
Speaker 9: She was. She was one of the coaches out there. Yeah,

793
00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:32,000
Speaker 9: for sure. My dad did the field events. So I

794
00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:33,720
Speaker 9: have a brother who's like seven years older than me,

795
00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:36,320
Speaker 9: a lot bigger, so he did like the discus, shop

796
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:39,280
Speaker 9: shot put, like javelin, so my dad would be with

797
00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:42,080
Speaker 9: him and the other guys working over there with the sprinters.

798
00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:43,720
Speaker 11: How was your mom a track coach? Did your mom

799
00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:44,560
Speaker 11: run a lot?

800
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:48,680
Speaker 9: She did hurdles, she told me in high school, so yeah,

801
00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:50,760
Speaker 9: and I mean like just along with her and like

802
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:52,720
Speaker 9: everybody else, I was out there like they had been

803
00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:54,440
Speaker 9: doing it for so long, so I guess, you know,

804
00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:56,719
Speaker 9: whenever it came out there for me, I didn't really

805
00:32:56,760 --> 00:32:59,480
Speaker 9: have a choice but to show up on the track,

806
00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:01,920
Speaker 9: like as my brother was already running. But I mean

807
00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:04,040
Speaker 9: I trusted, you know, everything worked that well. For sure.

808
00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:04,640
Speaker 6: All right.

809
00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:07,000
Speaker 10: I was talking to Jerry Hughes a few weeks ago,

810
00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:08,959
Speaker 10: and as one of the older players in the locker room,

811
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:10,520
Speaker 10: I asked him what it was like having so many

812
00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:13,239
Speaker 10: young players in the room, and he said that you

813
00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:15,720
Speaker 10: guys actually all kind of listened to the same type

814
00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:18,040
Speaker 10: of music, like nineties and two thousands.

815
00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:20,960
Speaker 9: Yeah, I would say, like, you know, it's a it's

816
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:25,480
Speaker 9: a variety. I can't just go straight like one artist

817
00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:28,200
Speaker 9: or like one genre of music. I'm gonna go crazy.

818
00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:32,160
Speaker 10: You're all, okay, you've got the Spotify that sort of Yeah, everything.

819
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:34,840
Speaker 9: Go from like Eric abad dude to like Maverick City,

820
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:40,040
Speaker 9: like maybe like a little baby or something. Okay, Okay,

821
00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:42,120
Speaker 9: so it just yeah mine mine berries.

822
00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:45,200
Speaker 10: So you don't feel like there's a big disconnect with

823
00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:46,480
Speaker 10: some of the older guys.

824
00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:48,640
Speaker 9: No, not really, not too much. I feel like they're

825
00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:51,840
Speaker 9: trying to stay younger though, honestly, you know what I'm saying,

826
00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:52,680
Speaker 9: Like they're having more fun.

827
00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:54,200
Speaker 11: Yeah, okay, Okay.

828
00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:57,000

830
00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:00,760
Speaker 11: Music is a little yachty.

831
00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:01,520
Speaker 9: Who said that?

832
00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:02,320
Speaker 6: You said?

833
00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:04,080
Speaker 9: I think you said, I did not say that.

834
00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:04,720
Speaker 11: I said that about it.

835
00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:07,320
Speaker 9: I said, stop saying that. Everybody keep telling me that.

836
00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:08,320
Speaker 9: I don't know why they.

837
00:34:08,680 --> 00:34:09,879
Speaker 11: I forgot what he looked like.

838
00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:12,560
Speaker 9: And no disrespect. I'm just saying, like you, yeah, but

839
00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:14,719
Speaker 9: like body telling me because of my braids.

840
00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:15,120
Speaker 11: Because your brains.

841
00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:16,960
Speaker 10: But he's got a lot of different colors going on.

842
00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:18,920
Speaker 10: He's got a lot more going on. I feel like

843
00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:21,680
Speaker 10: this could be a really good Halloween costume for you.

844
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:24,239
Speaker 9: To be little yachty. I can't do that one.

845
00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:25,640
Speaker 6: I can't do that.

846
00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:28,640
Speaker 9: I could not. I don't know. We're going to see,

847
00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:29,000
Speaker 9: all right.

848
00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:33,080
Speaker 11: What's your what's your game day style? Like like fashion wise, Yeah.

849
00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:37,680
Speaker 9: Pretty simple. I'm mentionederic guy, so uh tea and some pants.

850
00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:39,919
Speaker 9: I'm trying to up it a little bit though, but.

851
00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:43,120
Speaker 10: Don't you think you're two We should like maybe change

852
00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:43,960
Speaker 10: it up a little bit or.

853
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:46,080
Speaker 9: Yeah, like it should definitely grow a little more. But

854
00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:49,080
Speaker 9: I haven't. I keep having a thought of like, yeah,

Speaker 10: To do some show real quick so you don't have

859
00:34:55,680 --> 00:34:58,680
Speaker 10: a weakness when it comes to like clothes or fashion

860
00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:01,320
Speaker 10: or shoes. Like some guys are really into shoes or cleats.

00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:04,680
Speaker 11: It's cool bags.

863
00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:08,480
Speaker 9: I got a couple things, but I got some stuff

864
00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:11,879
Speaker 9: I just don't like, you know, idolize it more so,

865
00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:15,560
Speaker 9: like it's not like something that's just just like crazy,

866
00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:17,319

868
00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:21,560
Speaker 9: You ever, like get a package, you order something and

869
00:35:21,600 --> 00:35:23,600

870
00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:25,759
Speaker 9: after it comes in, like two days go by, and

871
00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:28,239

873
00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:31,120
Speaker 11: to keep it.

874
00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:33,799

00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:49,160
Speaker 9: You know it's gonna be long, it's gonna be tough,

881
00:35:49,160 --> 00:35:51,640
Speaker 9: But no, I think that's the exciting part, you know,

882
00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:53,440
Speaker 9: enjoying the journey. So I'm just excited for that.

883
00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:53,799
Speaker 2: All right.

884
00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:55,400
Speaker 11: We're excited to see you out there. Christian, thanks so

885
00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:55,960
Speaker 11: much for the time.

886
00:35:56,040 --> 00:36:00,400
Speaker 2: Appreciate you the smooth stylings of one Christian Harris.

887
00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:02,720
Speaker 1: Like I said, injury report came out today.

888
00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:08,960
Speaker 2: Unfortunately three players on the DMP side of it, John Metchi,

889
00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:15,160
Speaker 2: Blake Cashman and Jimmy Ward. Limited participant is Christian Harris.

890
00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:19,920
Speaker 2: So hate seeing that, but at least he's backpracticing. Monday,

891
00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:24,640
Speaker 2: he was not there and that was Oh, that was frustrating.

892
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:26,920
Speaker 2: Also a limited participant we did see him during the

893
00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:29,239
Speaker 2: mediate viewing was Dario Gumbwala.

894
00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:29,400
Speaker 1: With the hamstring.

895
00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:33,480
Speaker 2: Now for the Ravens, limited participants for them, two massive names,

896
00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:36,080
Speaker 2: but it does look like Mark Andrews is going to

897
00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:39,880
Speaker 2: play with that quad injury. Ronnie Stanley after dealing with ankle.

898
00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:43,080
Speaker 2: They were both limited participants for the Ravens the one

899
00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:46,080
Speaker 2: DMP and probably wanted to keep an eye on for

900
00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:51,120
Speaker 2: the Ravens. Marlon Humphrey, he is going to be more

901
00:36:51,160 --> 00:36:54,160
Speaker 2: than likely out of this one. That was kind of

902
00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:57,640
Speaker 2: the timetable from when he injured the foot had surgery

903
00:36:57,640 --> 00:36:59,719
Speaker 2: out back in mid August, so it looks like Marlon

904
00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:02,200
Speaker 2: hump won't be in this one, but he was definitely

905
00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:04,880
Speaker 2: a DMP. They expected him back week two, week three,

906
00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:08,239
Speaker 2: but not week one against the Texans, So won't have

907
00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:10,440
Speaker 2: to face Marlon Humphrey. That at least is a little

908
00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:12,799
Speaker 2: bit of good news. Hated for Humphrey. Of course, when

909
00:37:12,840 --> 00:37:14,440
Speaker 2: it comes to injuries. When I say good news, I

910
00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:17,200
Speaker 2: just mean you don't have to face that guy because

911
00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:19,040
Speaker 2: he's that good. So that's a lot of respect for

912
00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:22,760
Speaker 2: Marlon Humphrey, but he won't be playing. So Cashman mechi

913
00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:27,920
Speaker 2: Ward DMPs in practice today, Christian Harris shoulder, Dargonboile hamstring,

914
00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:29,040
Speaker 2: both limited participants.

915
00:37:29,160 --> 00:37:32,280
Speaker 1: Appreciate Christian for stopping bye for a little deep slant.

916
00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:38,080
Speaker 1: We get back, but there's big, big news, big news.

917
00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:44,160
Speaker 2: In San Francisco where Demico Ryan's pupil just got paid.

00:38:38,640 --> 00:38:40,560
Speaker 2: Thank you everyone for all the hand donations.

938
00:38:40,680 --> 00:38:41,040
Speaker 3: Lol.

939
00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:45,160
Speaker 2: But I'll be good. I'll be back soon, better than ever.

940
00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:47,520
Speaker 2: And look, we've talked about this a lot about the

941
00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:49,160
Speaker 2: soff insive line. There's a lot of money, a lot

942
00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:52,960
Speaker 2: of draft capital put into it. Kenny Green gone on

943
00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:55,960
Speaker 2: IR for the season. J Just Scruggs gone on IR

944
00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:59,520
Speaker 2: for the first four games. Presumably it could be longer,

945
00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:02,239
Speaker 2: but the first four games. Titus Howard for the first

946
00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:05,759
Speaker 2: four games. That's not the way it was drawn up

947
00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:09,080
Speaker 2: earlier in the year. That is not the way when

948
00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:11,960
Speaker 2: we sat down a training camp and went hmm, what's

949
00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:13,560
Speaker 2: the up and selling to look like, well, I'm gonna

950
00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:16,760
Speaker 2: look at my crystal ball and see three starters out

951
00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:19,439
Speaker 2: for the first four games at a minimum one being

952
00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:22,279
Speaker 2: out for the full year. Yikes, that's not what you're

953
00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:25,480
Speaker 2: looking for. But you brought in Josh Jones, you brought

954
00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:30,600
Speaker 2: in George Fant, you have you drafted Jared Patterson sixth rounds.

955
00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:33,000
Speaker 1: So you gotta put it together. Nobody's gonna feel.

956
00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:34,840
Speaker 2: Sorry for you, because everybody's dealing with it. Look, the

957
00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:37,799
Speaker 2: Ravens are dealing with Marlon Humphrey being out in Week one.

958
00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:39,440
Speaker 2: It looks like they're gonna back for your Week two

959
00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:42,120
Speaker 2: or three, but it's all pro corner. They're gonna be

960
00:39:42,200 --> 00:39:46,200
Speaker 2: without against the Texans. So everybody deals with it.

961
00:39:46,719 --> 00:39:47,719
Speaker 1: Everybody.

962
00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:51,120
Speaker 2: So let's go on the NFL and speak all things

963
00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:55,120
Speaker 2: that are happening throughout the league, and man, oh man,

964
00:39:55,480 --> 00:39:56,840
Speaker 2: this one hit today.

965
00:39:56,880 --> 00:39:57,040
Speaker 1: Now.

966
00:39:57,080 --> 00:40:00,000
Speaker 2: I had seen I don't know, one of those aggregations

967
00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:03,520
Speaker 2: sites like ARI or Dove Climbing or whomever saying that

968
00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:07,920
Speaker 2: this could be a big week for certain number of

969
00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:11,200
Speaker 2: players because it looked like contracts were about to be

970
00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:14,560
Speaker 2: doled out, and Nick Bosa's name was one of those

971
00:40:14,680 --> 00:40:18,400
Speaker 2: names that was mentioned. Well, that one came to fruition.

972
00:40:20,280 --> 00:40:23,040
Speaker 2: Reigning Defensive Player of the Year Nick Bosa and the

973
00:40:23,080 --> 00:40:26,120
Speaker 2: forty nine Ers have agreed to a five year, one

974
00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:30,600
Speaker 2: hundred and seventy million dollar extension. So just so you

975
00:40:30,719 --> 00:40:34,080
Speaker 2: know it's not just the quarterbacks. The deal will make

976
00:40:34,120 --> 00:40:41,520
Speaker 2: Bosa the NFL's highest paid defender ever. You're coming off

977
00:40:41,560 --> 00:40:44,839
Speaker 2: the defensive Player of the Year, you deserve a contract

978
00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:49,839
Speaker 2: of that magnitude. One hundred and seventy million dollars. That

979
00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:54,320
Speaker 2: includes one hundred and twenty two point five million in guarantees,

980
00:40:54,800 --> 00:40:58,280
Speaker 2: and San Francisco will wipe out any fines Bosa incurred

981
00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:00,960
Speaker 2: during his holdout. Now if the any thing about the

982
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:06,279
Speaker 2: bosas their workout warriors. So Nick Bosa is going to

983
00:41:06,360 --> 00:41:08,799
Speaker 2: be ready to go, And it does sound like Kyle

984
00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:14,800
Speaker 2: Shanahan's ready for him to play on Sunday forty nine ers.

985
00:41:15,719 --> 00:41:17,960
Speaker 2: Take on, my gosh, why it's escaping me here. The

986
00:41:17,960 --> 00:41:20,160
Speaker 2: forty nine ers are playing this weekend.

987
00:41:20,760 --> 00:41:25,839
Speaker 1: But either way, he should should be ready to go.

988
00:41:25,920 --> 00:41:28,800
Speaker 2: Oh, that's right, they play Pittsburgh. That's right, it's Pittsburgh.

989
00:41:28,840 --> 00:41:30,279
Speaker 2: But they get it done and so now he can

990
00:41:30,320 --> 00:41:34,680
Speaker 2: get back to practice and a rich, a much richer man.

991
00:41:35,080 --> 00:41:36,960
Speaker 2: As I said, he's now the highest paid defensive player

992
00:41:36,960 --> 00:41:38,600
Speaker 2: in NFL history average.

993
00:41:38,239 --> 00:41:40,960
Speaker 1: Per year of thirty four million.

994
00:41:41,360 --> 00:41:45,400
Speaker 2: That tops Aaron Donald's thirty one point seven million with

995
00:41:46,160 --> 00:41:49,400
Speaker 2: the Rams. Now there's a game tomorrow night and it

996
00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:55,920
Speaker 2: features the Kansas City Chiefs. Tight End Travis Kelsey is

997
00:41:56,440 --> 00:42:02,279
Speaker 2: listed as questionable. Kelsey is believed to have suffered a

998
00:42:02,400 --> 00:42:06,759
Speaker 2: bone bruise, but he is apparently avoiding a long term

999
00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:10,960
Speaker 2: knee injury. So apparently the big question going into the

1000
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:15,640
Speaker 2: game is whether swelling's gone down and how to manage

1001
00:42:15,680 --> 00:42:16,759
Speaker 2: the pain if there is any.

1002
00:42:16,840 --> 00:42:19,120
Speaker 1: Kelsey has been incredibly durable.

1003
00:42:19,560 --> 00:42:22,360
Speaker 2: He missed the twenty thirteen seasons a rookie with an injury,

1004
00:42:22,880 --> 00:42:24,719
Speaker 2: and then that's it.

1005
00:42:25,480 --> 00:42:27,600
Speaker 1: Maybe called COVID. I think he was missed a game

1006
00:42:27,640 --> 00:42:28,719
Speaker 1: for COVID. That's that's it.

1007
00:42:28,840 --> 00:42:35,239
Speaker 2: He has been unbelievably reliable during that time. So he

1008
00:42:35,280 --> 00:42:37,680
Speaker 2: plays against the lines or not, that's a that's a

1009
00:42:37,719 --> 00:42:41,080
Speaker 2: big one. Canarius Tony is also going to be one

1010
00:42:41,120 --> 00:42:44,759
Speaker 2: to watch. He's listed as Kelsey's the only play player

1011
00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:47,560
Speaker 2: listed with the game stats for Week one, Darius Tony,

1012
00:42:47,719 --> 00:42:50,480
Speaker 2: jerrys Sneid. They were limited earlier in a week, but

1013
00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:52,840
Speaker 2: they were full participants so it looked like they might play.

1014
00:42:52,960 --> 00:42:56,480
Speaker 2: But as long as Patrick Mahomes on the field, should

1015
00:42:56,480 --> 00:42:57,160
Speaker 2: be ready to rock.

1016
00:42:57,200 --> 00:42:57,359
Speaker 1: Now.

1017
00:42:57,360 --> 00:42:58,920
Speaker 2: I don't know if Kelsey will try and push it

1018
00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:01,440
Speaker 2: and play Mike. Guess is they'll try and keep him

1019
00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:05,880
Speaker 2: from doing so. But Travis Kelcey questionable to play versus

1020
00:43:05,880 --> 00:43:11,000
Speaker 2: the Lions. Oh, by the way, tomorrow night, real life

1021
00:43:11,239 --> 00:43:17,280
Speaker 2: regular season football is back. Wow, Cardinals made a decision

1022
00:43:17,360 --> 00:43:21,000
Speaker 2: on a quarterback. It is Josh Dobbs. He is going

1023
00:43:21,080 --> 00:43:24,080
Speaker 2: to get to start in Week one against the Commanders.

1024
00:43:24,680 --> 00:43:28,120
Speaker 2: How about Josh Dobbs versus Sam Howe who had that one?

1025
00:43:28,480 --> 00:43:33,000
Speaker 2: Clayton tun will take the backup reps. Tyler Murray still

1026
00:43:33,040 --> 00:43:34,480
Speaker 2: isn't ready to go. He's been put on our He's

1027
00:43:34,480 --> 00:43:36,280
Speaker 2: gonna miss the first four games or kept on pup.

1028
00:43:36,400 --> 00:43:42,160
Speaker 2: I guess so Josh Dobbs starting quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals.

1029
00:43:42,719 --> 00:43:44,520
Speaker 2: Cardinals fans, how does that make you feel? How many

1030
00:43:44,520 --> 00:43:47,160
Speaker 2: Cardinals fans do I think we have in Houston? That's

1031
00:43:47,200 --> 00:43:50,440
Speaker 2: kind of interesting anyway. I know we had one, but

1032
00:43:50,840 --> 00:43:53,360
Speaker 2: he works at the Texans. So Cardinals our second best,

1033
00:43:53,520 --> 00:43:56,760
Speaker 2: but Clayton Tuon gets the backup reps. My gut tells

1034
00:43:56,800 --> 00:43:59,000
Speaker 2: me that we'll see two and sooner than later. Just

1035
00:43:59,200 --> 00:44:01,120
Speaker 2: so Cardinals and see what they've got in the former

1036
00:44:01,239 --> 00:44:07,560
Speaker 2: University of Houston superstar quarterback. Now I mention Chris Jones earlier,

1037
00:44:09,640 --> 00:44:13,239
Speaker 2: he was at a function. He was at the Red Wednesday.

1038
00:44:14,480 --> 00:44:17,200
Speaker 2: It's the Chief's annual Red Wednesday at the Ronald McDonald

1039
00:44:17,200 --> 00:44:20,239
Speaker 2: House in Kansas City. He's delivering burgers to families and

1040
00:44:20,239 --> 00:44:22,719
Speaker 2: when he was asked about the contract, he said, in

1041
00:44:22,760 --> 00:44:24,960
Speaker 2: a quote, I can't really talk about it. Hopefully it

1042
00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:27,080
Speaker 2: gets worked out. It's always been my goal to be

1043
00:44:27,080 --> 00:44:29,680
Speaker 2: a Kansas City chief for life. I've said that multiple

1044
00:44:29,719 --> 00:44:33,040
Speaker 2: times on social media platforms, from interviews, and they know

1045
00:44:33,040 --> 00:44:36,040
Speaker 2: where my position is at. However, we can get something

1046
00:44:36,040 --> 00:44:39,839
Speaker 2: worked out for the long term quote unquote. He said

1047
00:44:39,840 --> 00:44:41,560
Speaker 2: a little bit later, it's just like when you got

1048
00:44:41,600 --> 00:44:43,480
Speaker 2: a job and you ask for an extension, right, and

1049
00:44:43,520 --> 00:44:44,839
Speaker 2: you ask for a raise, right.

1050
00:44:45,120 --> 00:44:47,279
Speaker 1: You're not letting anyone down. Who are you letting down?

1051
00:44:47,280 --> 00:44:48,120
Speaker 1: For asking your boss?

1052
00:44:48,120 --> 00:44:50,080
Speaker 2: For a raise, right, So when you take the personal

1053
00:44:50,120 --> 00:44:52,480
Speaker 2: feelings out of it, all I'm doing is asking for

1054
00:44:52,760 --> 00:44:53,200
Speaker 2: a raise.

1055
00:44:53,640 --> 00:44:55,560
Speaker 1: And I know people were like, yeah, but it's a

1056
00:44:55,640 --> 00:44:56,600
Speaker 1: millionaire asking.

1057
00:44:56,719 --> 00:44:58,920
Speaker 2: Look, it's all relative. I've said this many many times.

1058
00:44:59,040 --> 00:45:01,839
Speaker 2: It's all relative. If you work in whatever field, pick

1059
00:45:01,880 --> 00:45:05,320
Speaker 2: your field. You're in technology and you make eighty billion

1060
00:45:05,320 --> 00:45:07,440
Speaker 2: a year, the guy next to you makes one hundred

1061
00:45:07,440 --> 00:45:09,239
Speaker 2: and twenty billion, and you know you're better than he

1062
00:45:09,360 --> 00:45:11,920
Speaker 2: is or she is. You're gonna want that money, right

1063
00:45:12,280 --> 00:45:14,560
Speaker 2: of course, whether you make six dollars an hour or

1064
00:45:14,600 --> 00:45:16,800
Speaker 2: you make eighty billion for life, you're.

1065
00:45:16,680 --> 00:45:22,280
Speaker 1: Gonna want the value commensurate in your contract.

1066
00:45:22,320 --> 00:45:24,560
Speaker 2: You're gonna want that. And that's what Chris Jones wants here.

1067
00:45:24,640 --> 00:45:27,239
Speaker 2: So we'll see what happens. He said he'll stay away

1068
00:45:27,320 --> 00:45:29,239
Speaker 2: till weekend if he needs to, but if they can

1069
00:45:29,280 --> 00:45:31,040
Speaker 2: get a deal done, he said he's gonna be ready

1070
00:45:31,120 --> 00:45:31,520
Speaker 2: to go.

1071
00:45:31,600 --> 00:45:34,680
Speaker 1: For Week one. A guy who may not be in.

1072
00:45:34,680 --> 00:45:37,160
Speaker 2: This is something you gotta pay attention to with your

1073
00:45:37,239 --> 00:45:38,360
Speaker 2: fantasy teams.

1074
00:45:39,080 --> 00:45:39,760
Speaker 1: Cooper Cup.

1075
00:45:40,960 --> 00:45:45,360
Speaker 2: Cooper Cup apparently is going to get his hamstring looked

1076
00:45:45,400 --> 00:45:50,160
Speaker 2: at in Minneapolis, Minnesota. He is meeting with a body

1077
00:45:50,200 --> 00:45:54,280
Speaker 2: specialist to understand the root of his injury. He's listed

1078
00:45:54,280 --> 00:45:58,719
Speaker 2: as questionable for this game against the Seattle Seahawks, but

1079
00:45:58,880 --> 00:46:01,880
Speaker 2: they can't quite think fgure out what exactly is causing

1080
00:46:01,920 --> 00:46:05,600
Speaker 2: the issue with Cupp's hamstring. So if Cooper Cup is

1081
00:46:05,600 --> 00:46:09,040
Speaker 2: not playing any opener, oh boy, well, first of all,

1082
00:46:09,040 --> 00:46:12,360
Speaker 2: you better check your fantasy team. Check that and see

1083
00:46:12,400 --> 00:46:14,600
Speaker 2: where he is on your fantasy team. If he is

1084
00:46:14,640 --> 00:46:16,640
Speaker 2: on your fantasy team, if you're playing against him, man,

1085
00:46:16,680 --> 00:46:18,840
Speaker 2: you should feel good. Should feel real good about that,

1086
00:46:18,880 --> 00:46:22,000
Speaker 2: as a matter of fact. But Cooper Cup in Minneapolis

1087
00:46:22,120 --> 00:46:26,319
Speaker 2: to get that hamstring looked at by a body specialist,

1088
00:46:26,800 --> 00:46:31,520
Speaker 2: for lack of a better term, I guess yeah, we'll

1089
00:46:31,520 --> 00:46:32,759
Speaker 2: go with it body specialist.

1090
00:46:32,920 --> 00:46:33,640
Speaker 1: So there we go.

1091
00:46:34,120 --> 00:46:35,799
Speaker 2: All right, it's time to go men behind the mike.

1092
00:46:35,840 --> 00:46:39,000
Speaker 2: It's my favorite segment that I don't do. I'd love

1093
00:46:39,040 --> 00:46:41,400
Speaker 2: to hear this segment with Mark and the play by

1094
00:46:41,440 --> 00:46:44,160
Speaker 2: play voice on the other side, and Jerry Sandusky is

1095
00:46:44,200 --> 00:46:47,719
Speaker 2: the voice of the Baltimore Ravens. No, no, just know.

1096
00:46:47,840 --> 00:46:49,440
Speaker 2: The answer to that question is no, I know what

1097
00:46:49,440 --> 00:46:49,960
Speaker 2: you're thinking.

1098
00:46:50,120 --> 00:46:51,040
Speaker 3: No different.

1099
00:46:51,160 --> 00:46:56,120
Speaker 2: Jerry Sandusky, very stand up guy, great broadcaster. Jerry Sandusky

1100
00:46:56,239 --> 00:46:59,680
Speaker 2: of the Baltimore Ravens joins Mark next right here on

1109
00:47:22,200 --> 00:47:26,320
Speaker 2: the beginning. Jerry Sandusky is the play by play voice

1110
00:47:26,360 --> 00:47:28,920
Speaker 2: of the Baltimore Ravens on the other side. And I

1111
00:47:29,000 --> 00:47:31,960
Speaker 2: know a lot of people hear that and go wait, no, nope,

1112
00:47:32,160 --> 00:47:35,520
Speaker 2: different guy. It's a stand up dude, great broadcaster. Market

Speaker 2: a chance to catch up with him about the Baltimore Ravens,

1114
00:47:40,600 --> 00:47:42,240
Speaker 2: the opponent for the Texans on Sunday.

1115
00:47:42,280 --> 00:47:42,880
Speaker 1: Take a listen.

1116
00:47:43,080 --> 00:47:45,880
Speaker 4: Joining us now on Texans Radio. It's voice of the

1117
00:47:45,920 --> 00:47:49,160
Speaker 4: Baltimore Ravens, Jerry Sandusky. Jerry, how's it going today?

1118
00:47:49,400 --> 00:47:52,520
Speaker 8: Doing great? Week one? It's time to play some football, right.

1119
00:47:52,520 --> 00:47:54,560
Speaker 7: It's time to go and tell me.

1120
00:47:54,880 --> 00:47:58,680
Speaker 4: Let's start here with the number one guy, Lamar Jackson,

1121
00:47:58,680 --> 00:48:00,400
Speaker 4: he's back. I know you've talked a lot of him,

1122
00:48:00,400 --> 00:48:01,400
Speaker 4: but we got to get into it.

1123
00:48:01,960 --> 00:48:02,600
Speaker 7: How has he.

1124
00:48:02,600 --> 00:48:05,759
Speaker 4: Looked to you in preparation of this one? What can

1125
00:48:05,800 --> 00:48:08,400
Speaker 4: we expect? Give me the entire game plan. I know

1126
00:48:08,440 --> 00:48:10,479
Speaker 4: you can't do that, but tell me what you do know, Jick.

1127
00:48:12,040 --> 00:48:13,920
Speaker 8: So what Here's what I'll start with. It's a completely

1128
00:48:13,920 --> 00:48:14,600
Speaker 8: different offense.

1129
00:48:15,120 --> 00:48:15,239
Speaker 3: Now.

1130
00:48:15,800 --> 00:48:20,280
Speaker 8: The ground and pound run first read option one hundred

1131
00:48:20,280 --> 00:48:23,520
Speaker 8: and ten yards were rushing for Lamar. That is the past.

1132
00:48:24,200 --> 00:48:27,680
Speaker 8: This is a West Coast style offense that is all

1133
00:48:27,719 --> 00:48:30,399
Speaker 8: about spreading the defense out and getting the ball out

1134
00:48:30,400 --> 00:48:33,720
Speaker 8: of Lamar's hands fast. It's more rpo the read option.

1135
00:48:34,320 --> 00:48:34,640
Speaker 3: Now.

1136
00:48:34,840 --> 00:48:37,840
Speaker 8: That said, when you spread a field out, it's going

1137
00:48:37,920 --> 00:48:41,280
Speaker 8: to give Lamar more room to run at his discretion

1138
00:48:41,480 --> 00:48:44,160
Speaker 8: if plays breakdown and he wants to extend plays. And

1139
00:48:44,200 --> 00:48:46,319
Speaker 8: I think we'll still see plenty of that, but I

1140
00:48:46,320 --> 00:48:49,280
Speaker 8: don't think you're going to see merely as much read option,

1141
00:48:49,760 --> 00:48:52,680
Speaker 8: especially between the tackles where you take a guy who

1142
00:48:52,719 --> 00:48:55,239
Speaker 8: paid a court of a billion dollars too and run

1143
00:48:55,280 --> 00:48:57,560
Speaker 8: him through four guys who weigh three hundred and twelve pounds.

1144
00:48:57,560 --> 00:49:00,000
Speaker 8: They just don't see that happening anymore. With this offense,

1145
00:49:00,400 --> 00:49:03,560
Speaker 8: I see much more of quick release, get the ball

1146
00:49:03,560 --> 00:49:06,120
Speaker 8: in the hands of other playmakers out in space, and

1147
00:49:06,160 --> 00:49:09,520
Speaker 8: then really puts pressure on the defenses by stretching them sideline.

1148
00:49:09,560 --> 00:49:12,719
Speaker 4: The sideline might be an obvious question, but is it

1149
00:49:12,800 --> 00:49:15,480
Speaker 4: because of the injury issues over the years and the

1150
00:49:15,680 --> 00:49:18,880
Speaker 4: kind of beating he's taken, being the way he is

1151
00:49:18,920 --> 00:49:20,600
Speaker 4: being so dynamic in the run game.

1152
00:49:20,880 --> 00:49:22,360
Speaker 8: I think that's a big part of it. Mark. I

1153
00:49:22,360 --> 00:49:25,879
Speaker 8: think you know he's in his sixth year and it's

1154
00:49:26,080 --> 00:49:29,600
Speaker 8: a typical progression where the new offensive coordinator, Tom Munkin

1155
00:49:29,680 --> 00:49:32,600
Speaker 8: had a great line. He said, look he is. Lamar

1156
00:49:32,719 --> 00:49:34,880
Speaker 8: is at the same point that Michael Jordan was in

1157
00:49:34,920 --> 00:49:37,880
Speaker 8: his career where he recognized, hey, I can't drive to

1158
00:49:37,920 --> 00:49:39,600
Speaker 8: the rack and dunk every time. I got to develop

1159
00:49:39,600 --> 00:49:42,320
Speaker 8: a three point shot. And so for Lamar, it's about

1160
00:49:42,400 --> 00:49:44,560
Speaker 8: moving the focus of the game from his legs to

1161
00:49:44,640 --> 00:49:47,799
Speaker 8: his head and becoming more cerebral. See what's open, get

1162
00:49:47,840 --> 00:49:50,440
Speaker 8: the ball out of your hand. If there's a running opportunity,

1163
00:49:50,600 --> 00:49:53,600
Speaker 8: take it, But stop taking the big hits and start

1164
00:49:53,640 --> 00:49:57,760
Speaker 8: making big hits by making big connections with other playmakers.

1165
00:49:57,960 --> 00:50:01,160
Speaker 4: Gerry Sandusky, voice of the Ravens joining on Texans Radio.

1166
00:50:01,280 --> 00:50:04,279
Speaker 4: All right, what about some of the playmakers. Mark Andrews

1167
00:50:04,400 --> 00:50:07,920
Speaker 4: Obj is there. Now, what have you seen from the

1168
00:50:07,960 --> 00:50:11,160
Speaker 4: past catchers so far in the preseason.

1169
00:50:11,480 --> 00:50:15,840
Speaker 8: So Obj is a star. It's it's really it's amazing

1170
00:50:15,960 --> 00:50:19,280
Speaker 8: what he has brought. He has brought Hollywood star presence.

1171
00:50:19,400 --> 00:50:22,040
Speaker 8: He's a hard worker, he's the leader, not a diva.

1172
00:50:22,480 --> 00:50:25,799
Speaker 8: I'm so pleasantly surprised and what the Ravens got with

1173
00:50:25,840 --> 00:50:28,200
Speaker 8: Obj because you know, like you've only seen it from

1174
00:50:28,200 --> 00:50:30,640
Speaker 8: afar and then you see him up close, you talk

1175
00:50:30,680 --> 00:50:34,040
Speaker 8: to him up close. He's so impressive and he's really

1176
00:50:34,160 --> 00:50:37,319
Speaker 8: given a great sense to this offense of what it

1177
00:50:37,360 --> 00:50:40,879
Speaker 8: can become. The rookie is a Flowers first round draft pick,

1178
00:50:41,000 --> 00:50:45,240
Speaker 8: is explosive and quick, and he's going to have huge

1179
00:50:45,320 --> 00:50:48,040
Speaker 8: yards after catch numbers. And then they bring in a

1180
00:50:48,120 --> 00:50:51,200
Speaker 8: veteran like Nelson Aguilar, a former Eagle first round draft

1181
00:50:51,200 --> 00:50:54,960
Speaker 8: pick who's a very reliable, big body guy. So you know,

1182
00:50:55,000 --> 00:50:57,239
Speaker 8: you've kind of got the basis covered. The big thing

1183
00:50:57,360 --> 00:51:01,400
Speaker 8: is it gives Lamar Optons other than just Mark Andrews.

1184
00:51:02,080 --> 00:51:04,880
Speaker 8: Mark Andrews is a phenomenal tight end but it was

1185
00:51:04,920 --> 00:51:08,520
Speaker 8: so obvious where Lamar was going with a ball almost

1186
00:51:08,600 --> 00:51:11,560
Speaker 8: every time. Last year, the Ravens were the only team

1187
00:51:11,560 --> 00:51:13,520
Speaker 8: in the NFL that didn't have a single wide receiver

1188
00:51:13,600 --> 00:51:16,960
Speaker 8: with more than five hundred yard receiving. You can't do

1189
00:51:17,000 --> 00:51:19,120
Speaker 8: that in the passing offense. Now, you should have four

1190
00:51:19,200 --> 00:51:22,080
Speaker 8: or five guys well over five hundred yards receiving. And

1191
00:51:22,120 --> 00:51:25,480
Speaker 8: that means to me, Mark Andrews becomes more valuable because

1192
00:51:25,560 --> 00:51:28,200
Speaker 8: defensive coordinators can't say, Okay, there's eighty nine, put all

1193
00:51:28,200 --> 00:51:29,920
Speaker 8: our resources there and we're going to shut down the

1194
00:51:29,960 --> 00:51:31,560
Speaker 8: bat begun. You can't do that anymore.

1195
00:51:31,760 --> 00:51:34,080
Speaker 4: You're a Sam Dusky, voice of the Baltimore Ravens joining

1196
00:51:34,120 --> 00:51:37,680
Speaker 4: us on Texans Radio. Give me a plus or two

1197
00:51:38,160 --> 00:51:41,840
Speaker 4: on offense that nobody talks about, maybe outside of the market,

1198
00:51:41,920 --> 00:51:45,200
Speaker 4: or maybe even inside the market. Something great or good

1199
00:51:45,239 --> 00:51:48,160
Speaker 4: about the Ravens offense that is undercovered.

1200
00:51:48,719 --> 00:51:51,560
Speaker 8: Second string tight end Isaiah Likely So he was a

1201
00:51:51,600 --> 00:51:54,560
Speaker 8: fourth round draft pick last year along with Charlie Kohler,

1202
00:51:54,600 --> 00:51:57,560
Speaker 8: another tight end, and you know, nobody really paid that

1203
00:51:57,640 --> 00:51:59,200
Speaker 8: much attention to him in training camp, and then he

1204
00:51:59,239 --> 00:52:02,080
Speaker 8: popped in precis and then if the season went on,

1205
00:52:02,200 --> 00:52:04,600
Speaker 8: down the line, he started to make some big catches.

1206
00:52:04,960 --> 00:52:07,759
Speaker 8: He has that knack that great height ends do of

1207
00:52:07,840 --> 00:52:11,919
Speaker 8: finding the open space and making plays after he makes

1208
00:52:11,920 --> 00:52:14,000
Speaker 8: a catch. Because he was a fourth round pick, he

1209
00:52:14,040 --> 00:52:15,759
Speaker 8: wasn't talked up. He wasn't talked up by your first

1210
00:52:15,840 --> 00:52:18,359
Speaker 8: round draft pick. And in watching him in training camp

1211
00:52:18,400 --> 00:52:21,160
Speaker 8: this year, he's the kind of guy that when you

1212
00:52:21,200 --> 00:52:23,759
Speaker 8: spread out of defense and you start to look for

1213
00:52:23,800 --> 00:52:27,960
Speaker 8: where's obij whereas a flowers, Where's Mark Andrews? Isaiah likely

1214
00:52:28,480 --> 00:52:30,600
Speaker 8: is the kind of guy who could have some huge

1215
00:52:30,680 --> 00:52:33,040
Speaker 8: games and all of a sudden, the country's asked me

1216
00:52:33,040 --> 00:52:34,520
Speaker 8: the question, Hey, who's this kid?

1217
00:52:34,800 --> 00:52:35,120
Speaker 3: All right?

1218
00:52:35,120 --> 00:52:37,439
Speaker 4: What about on defense here? Because I see our old

1219
00:52:37,440 --> 00:52:41,480
Speaker 4: friend Jadebion Clowney on this unit. Roquan Smith had a

1220
00:52:41,480 --> 00:52:45,200
Speaker 4: big pick against the Texans as a Bear last year

1221
00:52:45,920 --> 00:52:48,160
Speaker 4: in the early part of the season. What about the

1222
00:52:48,200 --> 00:52:50,600
Speaker 4: front seven and what they're bringing here so far?

1223
00:52:50,680 --> 00:52:54,640
Speaker 8: Jerry? So the front seven is super sound and it's

1224
00:52:54,680 --> 00:52:57,440
Speaker 8: all about rokwand Smith in the middle. He transformed this

1225
00:52:57,520 --> 00:53:01,080
Speaker 8: defense when he got a midyear last year, the Ravens

1226
00:53:01,120 --> 00:53:04,719
Speaker 8: shaved off almost seven points per game of what they

1227
00:53:04,719 --> 00:53:08,120
Speaker 8: were giving up. The guy's literally worth a touchdown every game.

1228
00:53:08,160 --> 00:53:10,760
Speaker 8: He's that good. But he gets the front line set

1229
00:53:11,040 --> 00:53:13,640
Speaker 8: and he gets the linebacker set. Patrick Queen, who was

1230
00:53:13,760 --> 00:53:18,960
Speaker 8: very inconsistent, talented but inconsistent, suddenly becomes a very consistent playmaker.

1231
00:53:19,600 --> 00:53:22,080
Speaker 8: The concern on the Ravens defense right now is secondary.

1232
00:53:22,200 --> 00:53:25,120
Speaker 8: Marlon Humphrey is down. Rocky Scenes who they signed in

1233
00:53:25,160 --> 00:53:28,440
Speaker 8: the offseason, didn't play a lot in training camp. He

1234
00:53:28,480 --> 00:53:31,120
Speaker 8: had some injuries, and so we haven't seen a whole

1235
00:53:31,120 --> 00:53:35,000
Speaker 8: lot of that group. They brought in some veteran depths.

1236
00:53:35,160 --> 00:53:38,360
Speaker 8: But that's to me, the front seven takes on added

1237
00:53:38,400 --> 00:53:42,000
Speaker 8: importance the two young edge rushers, the Daffio Away and

1238
00:53:42,080 --> 00:53:45,640
Speaker 8: David Ajabo. The more pressure they can get on the quarterback,

1239
00:53:45,760 --> 00:53:48,120
Speaker 8: the less pressure is left on the back end with

1240
00:53:48,200 --> 00:53:51,120
Speaker 8: the secondary until you get Marlon Humphrey back in week

1241
00:53:51,160 --> 00:53:54,680
Speaker 8: two or three or four from training camp foot surgery.

1242
00:53:54,760 --> 00:53:57,000
Speaker 8: So to me, the front seven is at the moment

1243
00:53:57,040 --> 00:53:59,399
Speaker 8: the strength of this defense. You get Marlon Humphrey back,

1244
00:53:59,640 --> 00:54:01,680
Speaker 8: and all of a sudden, you might have a great defense.

1245
00:54:02,120 --> 00:54:06,799
Speaker 4: What's Justin Tucker's popularity in Baltimore versus some of the

1246
00:54:06,840 --> 00:54:11,280
Speaker 4: other players. Is it unbelievable considering he's a kicker, measure

1247
00:54:11,320 --> 00:54:12,400
Speaker 4: it for me, Jerry.

1248
00:54:12,719 --> 00:54:15,640
Speaker 8: So I'll give it to you the numbers. The first

1249
00:54:15,719 --> 00:54:18,000
Speaker 8: kicker in the Hall of Fame was John Steneruse and

1250
00:54:18,040 --> 00:54:20,719
Speaker 8: he hit I believe sixty seven percent of his kicks.

1251
00:54:21,320 --> 00:54:25,120
Speaker 8: Justin Tucker is ninety two percent of his kicks. Justin

1252
00:54:25,160 --> 00:54:28,680
Speaker 8: Tucker is a city wide level of confidence like you've

1253
00:54:28,719 --> 00:54:31,960
Speaker 8: never seen from a kicker in the NFL. Because the Ravens,

1254
00:54:31,960 --> 00:54:34,560
Speaker 8: basically Raven fans know that the Ravens can get the

1255
00:54:34,600 --> 00:54:37,160
Speaker 8: ball to midfield. They got a shot to closing out

1256
00:54:37,200 --> 00:54:39,520
Speaker 8: with a win because of Justin Tucker. I'm watching him

1257
00:54:39,520 --> 00:54:42,279
Speaker 8: before the last preseason game. He was kicking seventy yard

1258
00:54:42,280 --> 00:54:46,759
Speaker 8: field goals into the net in pregame war ups. Now, Grant,

1259
00:54:46,840 --> 00:54:49,239
Speaker 8: that's pregame, is not the regular season. But Phil, this

1260
00:54:49,320 --> 00:54:51,520
Speaker 8: guy's in his twelfth year and he can punch the

1261
00:54:51,560 --> 00:54:55,839
Speaker 8: ball through from seventy yards away. He is a one

1262
00:54:56,000 --> 00:55:00,759
Speaker 8: man confidence cocktail for the entire city because all you

1263
00:55:00,800 --> 00:55:02,440
Speaker 8: have to say is here comes Justin Tucker, and the

1264
00:55:02,440 --> 00:55:04,440
Speaker 8: place feels great. Never seen anything like it.

1265
00:55:05,000 --> 00:55:08,920
Speaker 4: So relative to other specialists, current and former, would you

1266
00:55:08,960 --> 00:55:11,600
Speaker 4: put him up there with maybe McAfee like someday's gonna

1267
00:55:11,600 --> 00:55:12,640
Speaker 4: have his own show.

1268
00:55:12,920 --> 00:55:13,479
Speaker 7: What do you think?

1269
00:55:13,680 --> 00:55:16,160
Speaker 8: Oh yeah, we look Justin Tucker could easily be here.

1270
00:55:16,239 --> 00:55:18,560
Speaker 8: I'd put him up there with like you Jackman could.

1271
00:55:18,560 --> 00:55:20,759
Speaker 8: He could have his one one man Broadway show. He's

1272
00:55:20,760 --> 00:55:24,800
Speaker 8: got talent. He's an opera singer, he's funny, he does impressions.

1273
00:55:25,400 --> 00:55:28,240
Speaker 8: He kicks sixty six yard field goals. He's the most

1274
00:55:28,560 --> 00:55:31,839
Speaker 8: accurate kicker of all time. I could literally see him

1275
00:55:32,160 --> 00:55:36,520
Speaker 8: like hosting the Late Late Show or having a Broadway show.

1276
00:55:36,840 --> 00:55:39,239
Speaker 8: He's that talented of a performer, and I think that's

1277
00:55:39,239 --> 00:55:41,440
Speaker 8: why he's such a great kicker. You know, were some

1278
00:55:41,560 --> 00:55:45,080
Speaker 8: kickers the spotlight's too bright and the pressure is too intense.

1279
00:55:45,760 --> 00:55:48,840
Speaker 8: This kid thrives on a spotlight. I mean, he just

1280
00:55:48,920 --> 00:55:51,640
Speaker 8: comes to life. It's just it's like his life's blood.

1281
00:55:52,040 --> 00:55:55,839
Speaker 8: And so whether he's singing Ave Maria at the Cathedral

1282
00:55:56,360 --> 00:55:58,600
Speaker 8: or lining up to kick a game when he field goals,

1283
00:55:58,680 --> 00:56:01,279
Speaker 8: kind of all the same namehood for him, which is

1284
00:56:01,320 --> 00:56:02,200
Speaker 8: his comfort zone.

1285
00:56:02,360 --> 00:56:04,960
Speaker 4: Boyce of the Ravens Jerry Sandusky joining us. Jerry, you

1286
00:56:04,960 --> 00:56:08,080
Speaker 4: wrote a book a while back called Forgotten Sundays about

1287
00:56:08,080 --> 00:56:08,600
Speaker 4: your father.

1288
00:56:08,800 --> 00:56:09,760
Speaker 7: Right, can you.

1289
00:56:09,760 --> 00:56:13,120
Speaker 4: Share with me how it's been for you since you've

1290
00:56:13,120 --> 00:56:16,440
Speaker 4: written that book, and the kind of response you received,

1291
00:56:16,480 --> 00:56:18,920
Speaker 4: and maybe how things have changed over the years and

1292
00:56:19,280 --> 00:56:22,799
Speaker 4: evolved after getting so much reaction to the book, So.

1293
00:56:22,920 --> 00:56:26,520
Speaker 8: It was kind of a catharsist for me to write

1294
00:56:26,520 --> 00:56:29,680
Speaker 8: the book. My dad, John Sanduski, had been a player

1295
00:56:29,719 --> 00:56:31,640
Speaker 8: in the NFL in the fifties, and he coached in

1296
00:56:31,680 --> 00:56:35,000
Speaker 8: the NFL from fifty nine till ninety four, was the

1297
00:56:35,040 --> 00:56:37,759
Speaker 8: longest serving assistant under Don Shula. And I grew up

1298
00:56:37,800 --> 00:56:39,600
Speaker 8: on the sidelines as a ball boy. I saw all

1299
00:56:39,600 --> 00:56:42,080
Speaker 8: this in the front row. And then at the end

1300
00:56:42,080 --> 00:56:45,239
Speaker 8: of his life, he suffered Alzheimer's for the last five

1301
00:56:45,320 --> 00:56:47,600
Speaker 8: years of his life and at the very end, he

1302
00:56:47,600 --> 00:56:50,440
Speaker 8: couldn't remember anything, You know, this amazing life of a

1303
00:56:50,440 --> 00:56:54,240
Speaker 8: World War Two veteran second round draft pick in the NFL,

1304
00:56:54,640 --> 00:56:56,719
Speaker 8: He won a Super Bowl with the Baltimore Colts, he

1305
00:56:56,760 --> 00:57:00,319
Speaker 8: was an interim head coach, all these great things, number

1306
00:57:00,320 --> 00:57:02,799
Speaker 8: of Hall of Fame players he coached, and he didn't

1307
00:57:02,800 --> 00:57:05,520
Speaker 8: remember any of it. And so I felt compelled to

1308
00:57:05,840 --> 00:57:10,440
Speaker 8: write the book because there were such impactful memories, and

1309
00:57:10,480 --> 00:57:14,759
Speaker 8: then what came out of it was And by the way,

1310
00:57:14,760 --> 00:57:17,240
Speaker 8: this also coincided with the whole Jerry Sandusky name thing,

1311
00:57:17,400 --> 00:57:21,600
Speaker 8: the coach at Penn State, And really what came out

1312
00:57:21,640 --> 00:57:25,000
Speaker 8: of this was that you don't own your name. Your

1313
00:57:25,040 --> 00:57:27,840
Speaker 8: name is the stewardship, and the value of your life

1314
00:57:27,880 --> 00:57:29,880
Speaker 8: is what you do with your stewardship, of that time

1315
00:57:29,920 --> 00:57:32,680
Speaker 8: that you spend on earth in your profession and the

1316
00:57:32,680 --> 00:57:36,480
Speaker 8: lives you touch. And the feedback that was so remarkable

1317
00:57:36,680 --> 00:57:39,160
Speaker 8: was the number of other people who had had a

1318
00:57:39,200 --> 00:57:41,800
Speaker 8: loved one who had suffered from Alzheimer's or had gone

1319
00:57:41,840 --> 00:57:45,680
Speaker 8: through a challenge and had learned to kind of stand

1320
00:57:45,680 --> 00:57:48,320
Speaker 8: in there and really, like the message of the book

1321
00:57:48,400 --> 00:57:50,360
Speaker 8: is that success isn't just what you're willing to do

1322
00:57:50,400 --> 00:57:53,000
Speaker 8: to achieve it. It's also what you're not willing to do,

1323
00:57:53,440 --> 00:57:55,520
Speaker 8: because you do place a high value on your name,

1324
00:57:55,560 --> 00:57:57,560
Speaker 8: and you do place a high value in the legacy

1325
00:57:57,840 --> 00:58:00,200
Speaker 8: that you will hand that name to in the next generation.

1326
00:58:00,760 --> 00:58:03,080
Speaker 8: And I think it resonated with people who have gone

1327
00:58:03,080 --> 00:58:07,440
Speaker 8: through struggles individually, who've lost loved ones to Alzheimer's, and

1328
00:58:07,480 --> 00:58:09,520
Speaker 8: it just kind of makes you stop and realize that,

1329
00:58:09,720 --> 00:58:11,680
Speaker 8: you know, there's a line that I share in the

1330
00:58:11,680 --> 00:58:14,200
Speaker 8: book was the last conversation I ever had with my dad.

1331
00:58:14,560 --> 00:58:17,920
Speaker 8: He had this little moment of clarity that pulled him

1332
00:58:17,920 --> 00:58:20,320
Speaker 8: out of the deep fog of Alzheimer's and and and

1333
00:58:20,440 --> 00:58:22,200
Speaker 8: he looked at me and my brother and he said, Man,

1334
00:58:23,080 --> 00:58:26,040
Speaker 8: it gets really messed up at the end. This is

1335
00:58:26,080 --> 00:58:27,440
Speaker 8: not how I thought it was going to end for me.

1336
00:58:28,920 --> 00:58:33,160
Speaker 8: Live now, don't wait. Live now. And that's really you

1337
00:58:33,200 --> 00:58:36,040
Speaker 8: know that that's been something that I think really spoke

1338
00:58:36,080 --> 00:58:37,400
Speaker 8: to a lot of people. And it certainly, you know,

1339
00:58:37,400 --> 00:58:38,480
Speaker 8: to this day, speaks to me.

1340
00:58:38,720 --> 00:58:38,880
Speaker 7: Well.

1341
00:58:38,920 --> 00:58:42,480
Speaker 4: The book is called Forgotten Sundays. It's by Jerry Sandusky

1342
00:58:42,600 --> 00:58:44,800
Speaker 4: and the forward was by John Harbaugh.

1343
00:58:44,840 --> 00:58:47,200
Speaker 7: That's amazing stuff. You got the head coach to do that.

1344
00:58:47,200 --> 00:58:49,840
Speaker 7: That's terrific stuff. And the book is still available Amazon

1345
00:58:49,920 --> 00:58:50,600
Speaker 7: and everywhere else.

1346
00:58:50,600 --> 00:58:53,960
Speaker 8: We can get books, Jerry, everywhere else wherever you buy books,

1347
00:58:53,960 --> 00:58:54,840
Speaker 8: you should be able to get it.

1348
00:58:55,520 --> 00:58:56,560
Speaker 7: I've got one more for you.

1349
00:58:57,280 --> 00:59:00,440
Speaker 4: What are people in Baltimore saying about the Houston Texans?

1350
00:59:00,520 --> 00:59:03,440
Speaker 4: What do they think of this matchup in the market.

1351
00:59:03,680 --> 00:59:07,400
Speaker 8: So it's interesting. It's very interesting to talk with Ravens

1352
00:59:07,400 --> 00:59:09,520
Speaker 8: fans because it's a lot like talking to Ravens coach.

1353
00:59:09,640 --> 00:59:11,840
Speaker 8: They don't know like you got a rookie head coach

1354
00:59:11,880 --> 00:59:14,760
Speaker 8: who's highly thought of as a great pedigree. You've got

1355
00:59:14,760 --> 00:59:17,640
Speaker 8: a first year offensive coordinator who has done some interesting

1356
00:59:17,640 --> 00:59:19,640
Speaker 8: things in the past and is well thought of. You've

1357
00:59:19,640 --> 00:59:21,440
Speaker 8: got a rookie quarterback who's the number two pick in

1358
00:59:21,480 --> 00:59:23,880
Speaker 8: the draft. So you've got a lot of pieces, but

1359
00:59:23,920 --> 00:59:26,280
Speaker 8: there's no tape on any of them doing anything together.

1360
00:59:26,960 --> 00:59:30,800
Speaker 8: I think this is probably the hardest game that Ravens players, coaches,

1361
00:59:30,800 --> 00:59:33,600
Speaker 8: and fans are going to have to prepare for maybe

1362
00:59:33,640 --> 00:59:38,040
Speaker 8: this decade, because that is a rare combination of first

1363
00:59:38,120 --> 00:59:42,600
Speaker 8: year impact people. Coach, coordinator, quarterback. I don't know that

1364
00:59:42,720 --> 00:59:47,360
Speaker 8: I've seen that before, so will recognize the uniform. It

1365
00:59:47,400 --> 00:59:49,160
Speaker 8: didn't show a whole lot in the way of strategy,

1366
00:59:49,160 --> 00:59:51,560
Speaker 8: and preseason I saw a lot of Cover two. I

1367
00:59:51,600 --> 00:59:53,920
Speaker 8: expect to Mike O'Ryan's will be more exotic than that

1368
00:59:53,960 --> 00:59:57,600
Speaker 8: in the regular season, and you know C. J. Stroud

1369
00:59:57,640 --> 01:00:00,800
Speaker 8: has a lot of tools, especially out in the space

1370
01:00:01,600 --> 01:00:05,640
Speaker 8: like there's around town. There's an element of, you know,

1371
01:00:05,800 --> 01:00:08,800
Speaker 8: cautious optimism, feeling that the Ravens should win this game,

1372
01:00:09,040 --> 01:00:12,320
Speaker 8: but that underlying anxiety of wow, what if these guys

1373
01:00:12,320 --> 01:00:14,919
Speaker 8: are really good? And nobody sees them coming. And that's

1374
01:00:15,120 --> 01:00:17,240
Speaker 8: that's the drama that leads into Week one around here.

1375
01:00:17,720 --> 01:00:19,800
Speaker 7: Sounds interesting. Can't wait to see you.

1376
01:00:19,920 --> 01:00:23,480
Speaker 4: Can't wait to call the game Sunday at noon in Baltimore,

1377
01:00:23,520 --> 01:00:25,640
Speaker 4: Texans Ravens, Jerry, thanks so much for being with.

1378
01:00:25,640 --> 01:00:27,720
Speaker 8: Us, My pleasure. Can't wait to see you when you

1379
01:00:27,720 --> 01:00:28,200
Speaker 8: get to town.

1380
01:00:28,520 --> 01:00:28,680
Speaker 9: Man.

1381
01:00:28,760 --> 01:00:29,800
Speaker 1: Can't wait to get to Baltimore.

1382
01:00:29,800 --> 01:00:31,520
Speaker 2: I no, it's gonna be a difficult ballgame for the

1383
01:00:31,560 --> 01:00:33,760
Speaker 2: Texans against one of the team, one of the NFL's

1384
01:00:33,800 --> 01:00:36,600
Speaker 2: best teams. But can't wait to get this thing going.

1385
01:00:36,680 --> 01:00:39,920
Speaker 2: Get in game week mode for the next seventeen weeks

1386
01:00:39,960 --> 01:00:43,400
Speaker 2: after this. So ready to see how the Texans look

1387
01:00:43,480 --> 01:00:45,920
Speaker 2: against Roquan Smith. Boy, Jerry, it's some good things to

1388
01:00:45,920 --> 01:00:49,040
Speaker 2: say about Roquand, and he scares the but Jesus out

1389
01:00:49,040 --> 01:00:51,440
Speaker 2: of me. All right, two guys that know what it's

1390
01:00:51,480 --> 01:00:54,000
Speaker 2: all about to kick off the season did so last

1391
01:00:54,040 --> 01:00:57,560
Speaker 2: weekend because they play each other this weekend. Mark Vannermy

1392
01:00:57,560 --> 01:00:59,280
Speaker 2: had a chance to catch up with Air Force Academy

1393
01:00:59,320 --> 01:01:01,800
Speaker 2: head coach Troy Calhoun, and I had a chance to

1394
01:01:01,840 --> 01:01:04,880
Speaker 2: catch up with a good friend and head coach of

1395
01:01:05,000 --> 01:01:07,800
Speaker 2: the Sam Houston Bearcats Casey Keeler.

1396
01:01:08,160 --> 01:01:12,480
Speaker 1: They're both next on Texans All Access. What's up, everybody?

1397
01:01:12,480 --> 01:01:14,920
Speaker 2: Welcome back to Wednesday at issue of Texans All Access

1398
01:01:15,000 --> 01:01:18,160
Speaker 2: from Monday Texans Radio Studio. I am your host, John Harris,

1399
01:01:18,200 --> 01:01:21,080
Speaker 2: Football analyst, sideline reporter. It's time to catch up with

1400
01:01:21,120 --> 01:01:25,200
Speaker 2: two great college football coaches. And they've been in their

1401
01:01:25,200 --> 01:01:28,040
Speaker 2: locations for a long time and they meet on Saturday.

1402
01:01:28,120 --> 01:01:32,200
Speaker 2: Air Force Academy taken on Sam Houston at NRG Stadium

1403
01:01:32,280 --> 01:01:35,000
Speaker 2: on Saturday. But we got a busy weekend. We got

1404
01:01:35,000 --> 01:01:40,200
Speaker 2: the Mexican College Football Championship on Friday. You've got Sam

1405
01:01:40,280 --> 01:01:43,400
Speaker 2: Houston and Air Force on Saturday. And then I know

1406
01:01:43,480 --> 01:01:46,080
Speaker 2: it's not at an Energy Stadium, but the Texas taken

1407
01:01:46,120 --> 01:01:49,920
Speaker 2: on the Ravens on Sunday. So let's hear from both

1408
01:01:50,360 --> 01:01:53,920
Speaker 2: head coaches and start. I flipped the coin, Mark one

1409
01:01:54,360 --> 01:01:57,520
Speaker 2: he picked to go first, so we'll hear from Troy Calhoun.

1410
01:01:58,040 --> 01:02:00,120
Speaker 2: Caught up with Mark. They know each other from back

1411
01:02:00,160 --> 01:02:03,280
Speaker 2: in Today. It's a great conversation Air Force Academy head

1412
01:02:03,320 --> 01:02:05,360
Speaker 2: coach Troy Calhoun with mart Vanmuir.

1413
01:02:05,360 --> 01:02:08,800
Speaker 4: Joining us sound Texans Radio coach Troy Calhoun of the

1414
01:02:08,920 --> 01:02:12,360
Speaker 4: Air Force Academy, Coach, great to visit with you and

1415
01:02:12,480 --> 01:02:14,880
Speaker 4: looking forward to welcoming you back to Houston.

1416
01:02:14,880 --> 01:02:16,080
Speaker 7: How's it going well.

1417
01:02:15,880 --> 01:02:20,040
Speaker 12: Mark, It's going well, and certainly an honor for us,

1418
01:02:20,120 --> 01:02:23,680
Speaker 12: our staff, our cadets, and most of all the United

1419
01:02:23,680 --> 01:02:26,240
Speaker 12: States Air Force Academy to have an opportunity to go

1420
01:02:26,280 --> 01:02:29,280
Speaker 12: down to Houston. And you just look at the history

1421
01:02:29,280 --> 01:02:33,959
Speaker 12: of the Air Force specifically what happens, you know, during

1422
01:02:34,000 --> 01:02:37,920
Speaker 12: those years, and how prominent NASA was and yet a

1423
01:02:38,200 --> 01:02:42,040
Speaker 12: large large number of young men and young women that

1424
01:02:42,080 --> 01:02:44,920
Speaker 12: have come from that state at a great state of Texas,

1425
01:02:44,920 --> 01:02:48,840
Speaker 12: and specifically they're from the Houston area.

1426
01:02:49,400 --> 01:02:51,240
Speaker 4: You know, it's funny you bring it up that way

1427
01:02:51,480 --> 01:02:56,680
Speaker 4: because my father is Dutch and he trained with NATO

1428
01:02:57,080 --> 01:03:00,400
Speaker 4: in jets in the fifties in San Antonio and radio

1429
01:03:00,840 --> 01:03:03,000
Speaker 4: and a lot of guys who flew those jets in

1430
01:03:03,040 --> 01:03:05,680
Speaker 4: the Air Force went into the space program, so there

1431
01:03:05,720 --> 01:03:08,080
Speaker 4: was a lot of crossover there. So it's a big

1432
01:03:08,120 --> 01:03:09,520
Speaker 4: part of the history of it all, right.

1433
01:03:09,920 --> 01:03:15,320
Speaker 12: Market's phenomenal when you look at the state of Texas, truly,

1434
01:03:15,400 --> 01:03:18,040
Speaker 12: you know, everybody's kind of has their home base or

1435
01:03:18,080 --> 01:03:20,760
Speaker 12: home identity. The number of bases that we have in

1436
01:03:20,800 --> 01:03:24,800
Speaker 12: San Antonio, you know, like I said, Nas, I mean

1437
01:03:24,840 --> 01:03:28,560
Speaker 12: throughout the whole area, and just how incredibly patriotic the

1438
01:03:28,640 --> 01:03:32,000
Speaker 12: state is in terms of the way they embrace and

1439
01:03:32,040 --> 01:03:33,680
Speaker 12: respect our service members.

1440
01:03:34,520 --> 01:03:38,000
Speaker 4: Troy Calhoun, coach of Air Force, joins us on Texans Radio.

1441
01:03:38,400 --> 01:03:40,439
Speaker 4: Now let's get into it. You have the big game

1442
01:03:40,480 --> 01:03:42,640
Speaker 4: this week and with Sam Houston State, you're coming off

1443
01:03:42,640 --> 01:03:45,120
Speaker 4: of victory. But before we get into that, Coach, I

1444
01:03:45,240 --> 01:03:47,840
Speaker 4: have to ask you about your time here in Houston

1445
01:03:47,880 --> 01:03:52,080
Speaker 4: as offensive coordinator Gary Kubiak's first year. You knew them

1446
01:03:52,080 --> 01:03:55,040
Speaker 4: from Denver or maybe before that even I don't know,

1447
01:03:55,160 --> 01:03:58,280
Speaker 4: But tell me about what you recall from being part

1448
01:03:58,480 --> 01:03:59,880
Speaker 4: of that time.

1449
01:03:59,680 --> 01:04:01,280
Speaker 7: In this organization's history.

1450
01:04:01,680 --> 01:04:04,080
Speaker 12: Well, it was, I mean just a remarkable time. It

1451
01:04:04,160 --> 01:04:09,200
Speaker 12: truly is. And there's no way to probably fully elaborate

1452
01:04:09,640 --> 01:04:12,720
Speaker 12: upon how many of those experiences that we came across

1453
01:04:12,840 --> 01:04:17,160
Speaker 12: during that year that you still utilize today. And it

1454
01:04:17,240 --> 01:04:19,600
Speaker 12: was neat from the family part of it, just with

1455
01:04:19,640 --> 01:04:22,720
Speaker 12: a man to be in from Proland, the years that

1456
01:04:22,800 --> 01:04:26,320
Speaker 12: she spent working at Old Astro World and telling stories

1457
01:04:26,360 --> 01:04:29,320
Speaker 12: and how many times late on a Thursday night she'd

1458
01:04:29,320 --> 01:04:31,440
Speaker 12: call and say, you know what, how about swinging by

1459
01:04:31,480 --> 01:04:35,240
Speaker 12: Papa Doz or Papa seed Is thereby at that time,

1460
01:04:35,280 --> 01:04:38,560
Speaker 12: which was reliant now is NRG. And you know, I

1461
01:04:38,600 --> 01:04:40,320
Speaker 12: think during that year was just trying to put a

1462
01:04:40,360 --> 01:04:43,640
Speaker 12: foundation in place. And we had the number one pick

1463
01:04:43,640 --> 01:04:48,640
Speaker 12: in the draft, which ended up being Mario Williams. First

1464
01:04:48,680 --> 01:04:51,480
Speaker 12: picking the second round ended up being a player from

1465
01:04:51,520 --> 01:04:54,560
Speaker 12: Alabama named Amiko Ryans, and you went through that was

1466
01:04:54,600 --> 01:04:58,880
Speaker 12: a really really good draft that to help put the

1467
01:04:59,000 --> 01:05:01,040
Speaker 12: Texans in a play where they had a pretty good

1468
01:05:01,120 --> 01:05:06,040
Speaker 12: run there in the following years and just a marvelous time.

1469
01:05:06,240 --> 01:05:10,919
Speaker 12: Far too short, quite frankly, and it's one of those

1470
01:05:10,960 --> 01:05:14,840
Speaker 12: decisions you don't want to make whether hey, you remain

1471
01:05:14,960 --> 01:05:18,240
Speaker 12: in Houston with the Texans or you come back to

1472
01:05:18,280 --> 01:05:21,720
Speaker 12: the Air Force Academy. But at that time that was

1473
01:05:21,760 --> 01:05:23,160
Speaker 12: a really really good problem to have.

1474
01:05:23,800 --> 01:05:26,320
Speaker 4: Well, before we get into your return to Air Force,

1475
01:05:26,400 --> 01:05:29,120
Speaker 4: you mentioned Amiko Ryans is the head coach here. Now,

1476
01:05:29,720 --> 01:05:31,920
Speaker 4: was there anything you saw, I know, you were coaching offense,

1477
01:05:32,000 --> 01:05:34,640
Speaker 4: but what did you see from Demico at the time

1478
01:05:34,680 --> 01:05:37,760
Speaker 4: that you can recall that might indicate, hey, this guy's

1479
01:05:37,760 --> 01:05:40,480
Speaker 4: got some outstanding leadership ability?

1480
01:05:40,560 --> 01:05:43,520
Speaker 12: They did, you know, I mean just one how bright

1481
01:05:43,600 --> 01:05:49,600
Speaker 12: Eyedy was just so instinctive and he just had that

1482
01:05:49,720 --> 01:05:51,919
Speaker 12: drive in that verb and that juice that you want

1483
01:05:51,920 --> 01:05:57,400
Speaker 12: in human beings, especially as an inside linebacker. And certainly

1484
01:05:57,440 --> 01:06:00,400
Speaker 12: he's I mean just grown and done amazing things as

1485
01:06:00,400 --> 01:06:02,560
Speaker 12: a coach. And I'll tell you it was really really

1486
01:06:02,600 --> 01:06:07,320
Speaker 12: neat here in November or what is that ten months

1487
01:06:07,360 --> 01:06:10,120
Speaker 12: ago we had the forty nine ers here as they

1488
01:06:10,120 --> 01:06:12,520
Speaker 12: were getting ready to go play down in Mexico City

1489
01:06:12,760 --> 01:06:15,760
Speaker 12: and had a chance to visit with Demiko and watch

1490
01:06:15,800 --> 01:06:19,960
Speaker 12: them practice and goodness hucking and not be fired up

1491
01:06:20,000 --> 01:06:22,720
Speaker 12: for the Houston Texans for what could be on the horizon.

1492
01:06:23,040 --> 01:06:23,160
Speaker 3: Now.

1493
01:06:23,200 --> 01:06:24,960
Speaker 12: It may take a little time, just as it did

1494
01:06:25,000 --> 01:06:26,479
Speaker 12: during the Kubiak years too.

1495
01:06:27,160 --> 01:06:29,480
Speaker 7: Yeah, it took a little time. Five hundred and year

1496
01:06:29,560 --> 01:06:30,960
Speaker 7: two in a climb from there.

1497
01:06:31,080 --> 01:06:33,720
Speaker 4: Year two, you went back to the Air Force Academy

1498
01:06:33,800 --> 01:06:37,000
Speaker 4: as head coach, Troy Calhoun joining US head coach at

1499
01:06:37,000 --> 01:06:40,520
Speaker 4: Air Force. You played quarterback there when you were playing

1500
01:06:40,600 --> 01:06:43,480
Speaker 4: quarterback for Air Force? Did you ever think you'd return

1501
01:06:43,720 --> 01:06:44,720
Speaker 4: as head coach?

1502
01:06:45,800 --> 01:06:50,320
Speaker 12: Absolutely not. That really wasn't something that even went through

1503
01:06:50,320 --> 01:06:52,440
Speaker 12: your mind. You know. When I came to the academy,

1504
01:06:52,480 --> 01:06:54,720
Speaker 12: Mark I wanted to fly. I wanted to be a pilot.

1505
01:06:55,720 --> 01:06:58,520
Speaker 12: I had my physical late in my junior year here

1506
01:06:58,560 --> 01:07:00,720
Speaker 12: at the Academy, and they said, you know what, your

1507
01:07:00,760 --> 01:07:04,120
Speaker 12: eyesight's not quite where it needs to be. And this

1508
01:07:04,200 --> 01:07:06,200
Speaker 12: day and age, it'd be an easy fix. You know,

1509
01:07:06,240 --> 01:07:09,520
Speaker 12: they can zap right across your eyeballs and whether it's

1510
01:07:09,600 --> 01:07:12,400
Speaker 12: lazy or p RK or whatever is required that way.

1511
01:07:12,520 --> 01:07:15,600
Speaker 12: And so you know, he ended up going down in

1512
01:07:15,680 --> 01:07:18,600
Speaker 12: another way to serve as an officer, which was splendid

1513
01:07:19,400 --> 01:07:23,439
Speaker 12: and you're glad you did. But I think really once

1514
01:07:23,480 --> 01:07:27,520
Speaker 12: you got into coaching, especially in the National Football League,

1515
01:07:27,520 --> 01:07:30,400
Speaker 12: I mean just how much football you were exposed to

1516
01:07:32,320 --> 01:07:34,240
Speaker 12: just day in day out. I mean the amount of

1517
01:07:34,240 --> 01:07:37,640
Speaker 12: film you were able to study, the ideas and the

1518
01:07:37,680 --> 01:07:42,000
Speaker 12: adjustments that had to be made, and truly the opportunity

1519
01:07:42,040 --> 01:07:44,080
Speaker 12: to be able to learn from Mike Shanahan and Gary

1520
01:07:44,160 --> 01:07:47,600
Speaker 12: Kubiak and a good number of other coaches is absolutely

1521
01:07:47,640 --> 01:07:48,440
Speaker 12: off the charts.

1522
01:07:48,880 --> 01:07:51,600
Speaker 4: Troy Calhoun joining US head coach at Air Force playing

1523
01:07:51,680 --> 01:07:55,160
Speaker 4: Sam Houston State at NRG Stadium Saturday night at seven,

1524
01:07:55,720 --> 01:07:59,040
Speaker 4: you took over for the legendary Fisher to Bury and

1525
01:07:59,800 --> 01:08:01,000
Speaker 4: there there you are coach.

1526
01:08:01,200 --> 01:08:02,640
Speaker 7: That had to be a lot of pressure.

1527
01:08:02,680 --> 01:08:04,760
Speaker 4: He's a legend, had a lot of success, but you've

1528
01:08:04,760 --> 01:08:08,480
Speaker 4: had a lot of success and seemingly I'm not going

1529
01:08:08,560 --> 01:08:10,600
Speaker 4: to say it came right away or it came easily,

1530
01:08:10,640 --> 01:08:13,080
Speaker 4: but it did come right away. What went into that

1531
01:08:13,240 --> 01:08:16,160
Speaker 4: for you being able to maintain the winning tradition at

1532
01:08:16,160 --> 01:08:17,080
Speaker 4: Air Force.

1533
01:08:17,520 --> 01:08:20,800
Speaker 12: Mark again, I you know, the amount of things that

1534
01:08:20,840 --> 01:08:23,719
Speaker 12: we're able to implement from the time in both Denver

1535
01:08:23,760 --> 01:08:27,439
Speaker 12: with the Broncos and then also there in Houston and

1536
01:08:27,560 --> 01:08:31,559
Speaker 12: kind of merry up with the requirements of the Air

1537
01:08:31,600 --> 01:08:34,360
Speaker 12: Force Academy, and that's you know, that's one of the

1538
01:08:34,360 --> 01:08:37,280
Speaker 12: things that I think is so challenging here is finding

1539
01:08:37,320 --> 01:08:41,240
Speaker 12: somebody that you can recruit. Certainly they have to be

1540
01:08:41,320 --> 01:08:44,960
Speaker 12: an outstanding student when they are here. They're going to

1541
01:08:45,000 --> 01:08:47,680
Speaker 12: take two levels of calculus, They're going to take two

1542
01:08:47,760 --> 01:08:49,960
Speaker 12: levels of chemistry, two levels of physics. They're going to

1543
01:08:50,000 --> 01:08:54,040
Speaker 12: take aeronautical engineering, astronautical engineering, civil engineering. I mean, just

1544
01:08:54,520 --> 01:08:56,360
Speaker 12: they're in to take every one of our guys that'll

1545
01:08:56,360 --> 01:08:58,920
Speaker 12: be playing for this Saturday's taken at least eighteen or

1546
01:08:58,960 --> 01:09:02,720
Speaker 12: twenty one semester hours in addition to all their military

1547
01:09:02,840 --> 01:09:06,000
Speaker 12: requirements that they have in their squadrons. So you know,

1548
01:09:06,040 --> 01:09:09,599
Speaker 12: your meetings are very very short. You have some time

1549
01:09:09,640 --> 01:09:13,280
Speaker 12: in the weight room and then your practices. The longest

1550
01:09:13,320 --> 01:09:17,639
Speaker 12: you ever ever practice is ninety minutes. So it does

1551
01:09:17,720 --> 01:09:21,600
Speaker 12: make you be highly organized, to be point on and

1552
01:09:21,720 --> 01:09:26,599
Speaker 12: exactly how you teach, and certainly be very very efficient

1553
01:09:26,640 --> 01:09:28,200
Speaker 12: in terms of what you get done on the field.

1554
01:09:28,880 --> 01:09:32,240
Speaker 4: Sam Houston is the opponent for Saturday Night. Coach, what

1555
01:09:32,280 --> 01:09:35,519
Speaker 4: can you tell us about the matchup? As this is

1556
01:09:35,560 --> 01:09:38,160
Speaker 4: a team that has had a lot of success in

1557
01:09:38,400 --> 01:09:41,960
Speaker 4: FCS and now's an FBS team trying to make some noise.

1558
01:09:42,160 --> 01:09:43,760
Speaker 4: What can you tell us about Saturday Night?

1559
01:09:43,920 --> 01:09:47,080
Speaker 12: Well, they're quite quite talented. I do think when you

1560
01:09:47,120 --> 01:09:51,360
Speaker 12: look back about the last five seven years, you think

1561
01:09:51,439 --> 01:09:54,280
Speaker 12: back to the FCS, you know there are three teams

1562
01:09:54,280 --> 01:09:57,519
Speaker 12: you just absolutely stood out. You know, you go back

1563
01:09:57,560 --> 01:10:00,320
Speaker 12: here in recent years and it's North Dakota State at

1564
01:10:00,360 --> 01:10:04,880
Speaker 12: Sam Houston and James Madison, and you just look at

1565
01:10:04,880 --> 01:10:09,000
Speaker 12: the sheer number of transfers that they've also brought in

1566
01:10:09,000 --> 01:10:12,400
Speaker 12: in order to elevate their roster and mark we're going

1567
01:10:12,439 --> 01:10:15,240
Speaker 12: to have a very very difficult challenge and you know

1568
01:10:15,280 --> 01:10:17,920
Speaker 12: we're at a place where we don't bring in any transfers,

1569
01:10:18,240 --> 01:10:21,720
Speaker 12: and so this will be a tough matchup for us.

1570
01:10:21,800 --> 01:10:24,439
Speaker 12: Yet at the same time, there's the reason why young

1571
01:10:24,479 --> 01:10:26,599
Speaker 12: men and young women come to the United States Air

1572
01:10:26,640 --> 01:10:30,800
Speaker 12: Force Academy to be challenged, because ultimately it's how you grow,

1573
01:10:30,960 --> 01:10:33,679
Speaker 12: not only on the character part, but also to build

1574
01:10:33,760 --> 01:10:36,840
Speaker 12: the leadership attributes that we need in our future leaders

1575
01:10:36,880 --> 01:10:38,639
Speaker 12: and officers for our country.

1576
01:10:39,400 --> 01:10:43,280
Speaker 4: How has your offense evolved over the years, coach, because

1577
01:10:43,360 --> 01:10:46,040
Speaker 4: you were with the Kubiak system, as we mentioned Denver

1578
01:10:46,120 --> 01:10:48,720
Speaker 4: and here with the Houston Texans, and we know what

1579
01:10:48,840 --> 01:10:51,080
Speaker 4: Air Force was running traditionally with Coach.

1580
01:10:50,920 --> 01:10:53,840
Speaker 7: DeBerry and you took it over. So how have you

1581
01:10:53,960 --> 01:10:55,080
Speaker 7: changed it over the years.

1582
01:10:55,640 --> 01:10:59,040
Speaker 12: Well, that the zone based the zone based system that

1583
01:10:59,080 --> 01:11:02,919
Speaker 12: we utilize exactly what we did in both Denver and Houston,

1584
01:11:03,000 --> 01:11:06,080
Speaker 12: and that's the predominant part of our running game. I

1585
01:11:06,080 --> 01:11:09,080
Speaker 12: think the other part is we want to be tremendous

1586
01:11:09,080 --> 01:11:12,080
Speaker 12: in the passing game. And last year we were number

1587
01:11:12,120 --> 01:11:15,000
Speaker 12: one in the country and yards per attempt, number one

1588
01:11:15,040 --> 01:11:19,040
Speaker 12: in the country and yards per completion. And you have

1589
01:11:19,160 --> 01:11:22,880
Speaker 12: to be balanced. Now, what's balance? It may vary a

1590
01:11:22,920 --> 01:11:24,640
Speaker 12: little bit from year to year. And I think the

1591
01:11:24,720 --> 01:11:27,840
Speaker 12: other part that you recall from being with Houston is

1592
01:11:27,880 --> 01:11:30,120
Speaker 12: it's always got to be who do you have personnel

1593
01:11:30,120 --> 01:11:32,560
Speaker 12: wise and you have to adapt accordingly. I remember the

1594
01:11:32,640 --> 01:11:36,240
Speaker 12: year that we had there in two thousand and six,

1595
01:11:36,400 --> 01:11:41,000
Speaker 12: we knew that we needed to have a precise just

1596
01:11:41,120 --> 01:11:43,680
Speaker 12: be really really exact in terms of our passing game.

1597
01:11:43,720 --> 01:11:46,560
Speaker 12: I think we led the NFL that year in completion percentage.

1598
01:11:47,000 --> 01:11:49,280
Speaker 12: We went a pretty talented guy and Andre Johnson, and

1599
01:11:49,320 --> 01:11:50,599
Speaker 12: we just felt like, hey, we got to move him,

1600
01:11:50,600 --> 01:11:52,439
Speaker 12: we got to line him up everywhere. Because of it,

1601
01:11:52,680 --> 01:11:55,160
Speaker 12: he ended up leading the NFL and catches I think

1602
01:11:55,160 --> 01:11:56,960
Speaker 12: he had like one hundred and two that season.

1603
01:11:57,920 --> 01:12:00,360
Speaker 7: Well, yeah, he was amazing coach.

1604
01:12:00,520 --> 01:12:03,720
Speaker 4: When you look at the other service academies, how does

1605
01:12:03,800 --> 01:12:07,799
Speaker 4: recruiting go because you need a particular type of athlete,

1606
01:12:08,000 --> 01:12:10,680
Speaker 4: and I know you recruit against the other schools, but

1607
01:12:10,720 --> 01:12:13,240
Speaker 4: things are different. It's a different landscape, like you mentioned,

1608
01:12:13,240 --> 01:12:15,920
Speaker 4: with some of the requirements. What about the other service

1609
01:12:15,960 --> 01:12:19,360
Speaker 4: academies though, is there a competition between Army, Navy, Air Force?

1610
01:12:19,400 --> 01:12:22,920
Speaker 4: As far as hey I want this athlete, don't you

1611
01:12:22,920 --> 01:12:24,880
Speaker 4: want to be in the Air Force instead of the Navy.

1612
01:12:24,920 --> 01:12:25,600
Speaker 6: Does that go on?

1613
01:12:27,720 --> 01:12:34,480
Speaker 12: Well, I'll say this, these are extremely hard candidates defined,

1614
01:12:35,080 --> 01:12:36,880
Speaker 12: you know, because what are you looking for. You're looking

1615
01:12:36,920 --> 01:12:41,200
Speaker 12: for somebody that's a three seven plus student. We are

1616
01:12:41,280 --> 01:12:44,000
Speaker 12: still test mandatory, so that means at least a twelve

1617
01:12:44,040 --> 01:12:47,880
Speaker 12: to fifty SAT or a twenty seven ACT and you

1618
01:12:47,960 --> 01:12:50,880
Speaker 12: have to be willing to serve for our country. And

1619
01:12:51,560 --> 01:12:53,679
Speaker 12: yet at the same time, we want somebody as talented

1620
01:12:53,720 --> 01:12:57,360
Speaker 12: so we can play competitive football. And you know, I

1621
01:12:57,360 --> 01:12:59,760
Speaker 12: will say this, I think there's a little bit of

1622
01:13:00,920 --> 01:13:03,880
Speaker 12: something that stirs in each young person as far as

1623
01:13:03,920 --> 01:13:07,920
Speaker 12: what branch they gravitate to. So maybe not quite as

1624
01:13:08,040 --> 01:13:10,519
Speaker 12: much as you'd think from AFAR.

1625
01:13:11,200 --> 01:13:13,599
Speaker 4: All right, settle this for me, coach, because I have

1626
01:13:13,680 --> 01:13:17,320
Speaker 4: not been to a game in Annapolis or at West Point,

1627
01:13:17,600 --> 01:13:20,640
Speaker 4: and I've been told they're both amazing atmospheres.

1628
01:13:20,760 --> 01:13:23,000
Speaker 7: So I'm not going to talk about air Force.

1629
01:13:23,360 --> 01:13:25,599
Speaker 4: But if I have a choice to go to see

1630
01:13:25,680 --> 01:13:28,920
Speaker 4: a game at Navy or a game at Army, where

1631
01:13:28,920 --> 01:13:30,280
Speaker 4: should I go first?

1632
01:13:30,720 --> 01:13:34,080
Speaker 12: Well, I mean, without answering that question correctly, how about

1633
01:13:34,120 --> 01:13:38,000
Speaker 12: going somewhere where you see Pike's Peak and the Rocky

1634
01:13:38,040 --> 01:13:41,680
Speaker 12: mountains and a clear Colorado blue sky. And you know,

1635
01:13:41,880 --> 01:13:43,760
Speaker 12: right over the top, you think you're almost going to

1636
01:13:43,800 --> 01:13:46,120
Speaker 12: get a really good haircut when those f sixteens are

1637
01:13:46,200 --> 01:13:50,160
Speaker 12: F thirty five fly super close over the scoreboard at

1638
01:13:50,160 --> 01:13:56,280
Speaker 12: Falcon Stadium. Now, Mark, they're both unbelievable venues. And truly

1639
01:13:57,200 --> 01:14:00,360
Speaker 12: when you watch the march on you see those young

1640
01:14:00,400 --> 01:14:03,040
Speaker 12: men young women that are mids or cadets and as

1641
01:14:03,080 --> 01:14:05,479
Speaker 12: they head out to the field right before kickoff, and

1642
01:14:06,520 --> 01:14:08,280
Speaker 12: I mean it does make the hair on your arms

1643
01:14:08,360 --> 01:14:10,040
Speaker 12: in the back of your neck stand up, just in

1644
01:14:10,120 --> 01:14:13,240
Speaker 12: terms that you realize, Hey, these are you know, when

1645
01:14:13,240 --> 01:14:17,719
Speaker 12: they were seventeen, eighteen years old, these kids at that age,

1646
01:14:17,760 --> 01:14:21,400
Speaker 12: that's what they were. They were kids. They made a decision,

1647
01:14:21,479 --> 01:14:24,160
Speaker 12: they made a commitment to go serve for our country.

1648
01:14:24,200 --> 01:14:27,120
Speaker 12: And how does that not make your hearts.

1649
01:14:26,840 --> 01:14:29,280
Speaker 7: Well, yeah, yeah, phenomenal stuff.

1650
01:14:29,439 --> 01:14:32,479
Speaker 4: Well, we're really looking forward to seeing it the Air

1651
01:14:32,479 --> 01:14:35,800
Speaker 4: Force Academy, the whole show with you coaching the way.

1652
01:14:36,320 --> 01:14:39,760
Speaker 4: Former Texans offensive coordinator Troy Calhoun, head coach at the

1653
01:14:39,800 --> 01:14:43,599
Speaker 4: Air Force Academy facing Sam Houston on Saturday night, seven

1654
01:14:43,600 --> 01:14:46,719
Speaker 4: o'clock at NRG Stadium. Coach, thanks so much for the time.

1655
01:14:46,720 --> 01:14:47,840
Speaker 4: We really appreciate it.

1656
01:14:48,800 --> 01:14:51,120
Speaker 12: Absolutely, we look forward to it. Thank you.

1657
01:14:51,160 --> 01:14:54,840
Speaker 2: Mark is Troy Calhoun, head coach the Air Force Academy,

1658
01:14:55,000 --> 01:14:56,880
Speaker 2: and well he's been there for a while. He left

1659
01:14:56,920 --> 01:14:58,800
Speaker 2: here from Houston and he has been the head coach

1660
01:14:58,880 --> 01:15:03,160
Speaker 2: there ever. Now a guy that's won a national championship

1661
01:15:03,640 --> 01:15:08,280
Speaker 2: at SAM Houston is now coaching inn FBS program as

1662
01:15:08,320 --> 01:15:11,439
Speaker 2: the Bearcats moved up. They lost last week to BYU

1663
01:15:11,520 --> 01:15:15,360
Speaker 2: fourteen and nothing but defense did a nice job in

1664
01:15:15,400 --> 01:15:20,439
Speaker 2: that ballgame against Keaton Slows and Big twelve. BYU offense

1665
01:15:20,520 --> 01:15:22,760
Speaker 2: hit a couple of moments. If they get him going

1666
01:15:22,760 --> 01:15:24,639
Speaker 2: in the other direction, could be a different ballgame.

1667
01:15:24,920 --> 01:15:25,360
Speaker 3: But either way.

1668
01:15:25,360 --> 01:15:27,360
Speaker 2: I had a chance to catch up with Casey Keeler

1669
01:15:27,640 --> 01:15:30,439
Speaker 2: as he and the Bearcats get ready for Calhoun and

1670
01:15:30,520 --> 01:15:32,960
Speaker 2: the Falcons of the Air Force Academy. All right, I

1671
01:15:33,000 --> 01:15:36,160
Speaker 2: am joined now by God. Has got to be one

1672
01:15:36,160 --> 01:15:38,519
Speaker 2: of my great friends in the business. He's one of

1673
01:15:38,520 --> 01:15:41,439
Speaker 2: the best coaches of all time in college football. He

1674
01:15:41,520 --> 01:15:44,080
Speaker 2: coaches in the Sam Houston Bearcats. Will be in Energy

1675
01:15:44,080 --> 01:15:47,200
Speaker 2: Stadium on Saturday with his crew against the Air Force Academy.

1676
01:15:47,200 --> 01:15:49,960
Speaker 2: That's Casey Keeler coach. First of all, how's the summer?

1677
01:15:49,960 --> 01:15:51,280
Speaker 2: How you doing the man.

1678
01:15:51,800 --> 01:15:54,720
Speaker 14: Well, yeah, summer's now over and we're playing football and

1679
01:15:54,760 --> 01:15:57,680
Speaker 14: we Hey, John, we had one last week that you know,

1680
01:15:57,720 --> 01:16:01,559
Speaker 14: we walked away disappointed. It was a game that was

1681
01:16:01,960 --> 01:16:06,760
Speaker 14: seven to nothing, laid into the third quarter and you know,

1682
01:16:06,840 --> 01:16:09,559
Speaker 14: we had a misofficiated play that instead of us getting

1683
01:16:09,560 --> 01:16:11,920
Speaker 14: a chance to pin them down, all of a sudden,

1684
01:16:11,960 --> 01:16:15,320
Speaker 14: we give the ball to to b y U in

1685
01:16:15,400 --> 01:16:18,120
Speaker 14: great field position and they went down and scored and

1686
01:16:18,120 --> 01:16:18,799
Speaker 14: made it fourteen.

1687
01:16:18,960 --> 01:16:22,559
Speaker 3: So, you know, disappointed. Kids played really hard.

1688
01:16:22,920 --> 01:16:25,960
Speaker 14: You can tell that we're FBS ready, but you know,

1689
01:16:27,160 --> 01:16:29,000
Speaker 14: as I told our guys, we have to win those games.

1690
01:16:29,320 --> 01:16:31,000
Speaker 14: You know, we had a chance to win and we didn't.

1691
01:16:31,760 --> 01:16:33,960
Speaker 14: But you know, so now it's time to move on.

1692
01:16:34,000 --> 01:16:36,240
Speaker 14: And that's the thing about playing the schedule we have.

1693
01:16:36,360 --> 01:16:38,800
Speaker 14: It's you know, who's up next, and we're playing an

1694
01:16:38,800 --> 01:16:41,719
Speaker 14: Air Force team that you take the COVID year, John,

1695
01:16:41,720 --> 01:16:44,599
Speaker 14: you take the COVID year out. There's only six teams

1696
01:16:45,040 --> 01:16:47,760
Speaker 14: that have won more ball games in the last three

1697
01:16:47,800 --> 01:16:51,000
Speaker 14: years than air Force. You know, they've won thirty games

1698
01:16:51,040 --> 01:16:53,400
Speaker 14: the last three years and they took Baylor apart in

1699
01:16:53,439 --> 01:16:55,760
Speaker 14: a ballgame whatever it.

1700
01:16:55,680 --> 01:16:56,559
Speaker 3: Was, seven months ago.

1701
01:16:56,680 --> 01:17:00,760
Speaker 14: So yeah, that it should be a great, great competition,

1702
01:17:00,880 --> 01:17:03,400
Speaker 14: great environment, and looking forward to getting down and playing

1703
01:17:03,400 --> 01:17:04,280
Speaker 14: the Energy Stadium.

1704
01:17:04,520 --> 01:17:05,560
Speaker 2: Coach. I know one of the things that you and

1705
01:17:05,600 --> 01:17:07,519
Speaker 2: I talked about a lot, even the summer. We talked

1706
01:17:07,560 --> 01:17:11,719
Speaker 2: about that, and it was having a regular year because

1707
01:17:11,960 --> 01:17:14,280
Speaker 2: since COVID you haven't had a regular year.

1708
01:17:14,439 --> 01:17:16,680
Speaker 1: Twenty twenty year gets pushed the spring of twenty one.

1709
01:17:16,800 --> 01:17:19,280
Speaker 2: Then you're playing a full season in twenty one, and

1710
01:17:19,320 --> 01:17:21,840
Speaker 2: then twenty two you're making a transition, so you're red

1711
01:17:21,840 --> 01:17:24,599
Speaker 2: shirting some guys, playing them a few weeks here there.

1712
01:17:25,160 --> 01:17:27,880
Speaker 2: But to have normal preparation. How did that change things

1713
01:17:27,880 --> 01:17:29,120
Speaker 2: for you heading into this year.

1714
01:17:29,920 --> 01:17:33,240
Speaker 14: Yeah, it was sort of unique, having like a real summer,

1715
01:17:33,600 --> 01:17:36,559
Speaker 14: to have the guys here both summer sessions and now

1716
01:17:36,640 --> 01:17:39,080
Speaker 14: you know, you're plugged into a full twelve game schedule

1717
01:17:39,160 --> 01:17:41,719
Speaker 14: or last year we just had so many by weeks

1718
01:17:41,760 --> 01:17:44,040
Speaker 14: built in because of the fact that we could find

1719
01:17:44,120 --> 01:17:48,640
Speaker 14: nine games, and I think red shirting the players we

1720
01:17:48,720 --> 01:17:50,880
Speaker 14: red shirted what made a big difference. I think we

1721
01:17:50,920 --> 01:17:52,799
Speaker 14: feel we have a lot of depth on the defensive

1722
01:17:52,840 --> 01:17:55,679
Speaker 14: side of the ball. A lot of guys played on defense,

1723
01:17:55,880 --> 01:17:59,479
Speaker 14: defensive line, linebacker, secondary. I think we have some depth

1724
01:17:59,520 --> 01:18:03,280
Speaker 14: on offense, probably not the O line. Probably we go

1725
01:18:03,479 --> 01:18:06,479
Speaker 14: six or seven there and then a bunch of young guys.

1726
01:18:06,800 --> 01:18:10,000
Speaker 14: But I think, you know, having some of the unusual

1727
01:18:10,560 --> 01:18:13,040
Speaker 14: years we just had, gave us a chance to red

1728
01:18:13,040 --> 01:18:15,000
Speaker 14: shirt some guys, and I think we're a little bit

1729
01:18:15,000 --> 01:18:16,519
Speaker 14: deeper now than we normally would be.

1730
01:18:17,439 --> 01:18:18,559
Speaker 1: Coach quarterback position.

1731
01:18:18,640 --> 01:18:21,040
Speaker 2: I know Grant Canal transferred in there, but Kegan's been

1732
01:18:21,040 --> 01:18:21,519
Speaker 2: the guy.

1733
01:18:21,400 --> 01:18:22,000
Speaker 12: For a little while.

1734
01:18:22,000 --> 01:18:24,320
Speaker 2: Would you think of the way that he played Saturday

1735
01:18:24,400 --> 01:18:26,080
Speaker 2: night and what have you liked and what do you

1736
01:18:26,120 --> 01:18:27,920
Speaker 2: want to see more from him in the future.

1737
01:18:28,360 --> 01:18:30,640
Speaker 14: Well, you know, a best friend of a quarterback's a

1738
01:18:30,720 --> 01:18:33,479
Speaker 14: run game, and we didn't really have a run game.

1739
01:18:33,320 --> 01:18:35,800
Speaker 3: And I give that's a BYU thing.

1740
01:18:35,840 --> 01:18:39,040
Speaker 14: They they really were big and physical for I really

1741
01:18:39,080 --> 01:18:42,439
Speaker 14: like our offensive line. I thought that was the matchup

1742
01:18:42,479 --> 01:18:44,680
Speaker 14: that that wasn't favorable for us. I thought they did

1743
01:18:44,720 --> 01:18:48,360
Speaker 14: a great job in the transfer portal taking some defensive

1744
01:18:48,360 --> 01:18:52,840
Speaker 14: linemen and I think they've really improved themselves dramatically defensively,

1745
01:18:53,960 --> 01:18:56,280
Speaker 14: you know, with the guys they took. So that and

1746
01:18:56,280 --> 01:19:02,040
Speaker 14: then we lost Quavez Humphrey, who's uh standing X receiver

1747
01:19:02,880 --> 01:19:06,560
Speaker 14: six two and a half, like Larry Fitzgerald sort of body.

1748
01:19:06,680 --> 01:19:08,360
Speaker 14: You know, he broke his foot just at the end

1749
01:19:08,400 --> 01:19:10,639
Speaker 14: of training camp. We thought he was really playing at.

1750
01:19:10,520 --> 01:19:11,280
Speaker 3: A high level.

1751
01:19:11,600 --> 01:19:13,639
Speaker 14: And I think that taking a weapon away like that,

1752
01:19:13,640 --> 01:19:16,080
Speaker 14: that that hurt us a little bit. But again, I

1753
01:19:16,120 --> 01:19:17,559
Speaker 14: think we got to you know, if we can run

1754
01:19:17,600 --> 01:19:19,800
Speaker 14: the ball and give Keegan a lot more thirty and

1755
01:19:19,840 --> 01:19:21,600
Speaker 14: threes than thirty sevens, I think it will be a

1756
01:19:21,640 --> 01:19:25,479
Speaker 14: lot better shape. But he handled the pressure well. I

1757
01:19:25,520 --> 01:19:28,400
Speaker 14: thought he you know, had a lot of poise and

1758
01:19:28,439 --> 01:19:30,120
Speaker 14: you know, people said we had three interceptions, Well, one

1759
01:19:30,120 --> 01:19:31,679
Speaker 14: of those interceptions was a hail Mary.

1760
01:19:31,880 --> 01:19:32,120
Speaker 3: Yep.

1761
01:19:32,720 --> 01:19:36,439
Speaker 14: One of those interceptions was a misofficiated play that clearly

1762
01:19:36,600 --> 01:19:39,240
Speaker 14: was shown that the ball hit the ground. And then

1763
01:19:39,240 --> 01:19:42,000
Speaker 14: he made the real critical mistake on the five yard

1764
01:19:42,040 --> 01:19:44,920
Speaker 14: line when we had a little fade route going and

1765
01:19:45,600 --> 01:19:50,000
Speaker 14: he left it inside sort outside and uh inside and

1766
01:19:50,120 --> 01:19:53,080
Speaker 14: efe you know to efane and he got intercepted. So

1767
01:19:53,160 --> 01:19:55,400
Speaker 14: that was a real critical mistake. But that was the

1768
01:19:55,400 --> 01:19:56,559
Speaker 14: one big critical mistake.

1769
01:19:56,600 --> 01:19:57,040
Speaker 3: He made.

1770
01:19:58,479 --> 01:20:00,720
Speaker 14: Played pretty clean besides that, and he did a good

1771
01:20:00,840 --> 01:20:03,960
Speaker 14: job throwing the ball away. People look at percentages, it's like, yeah,

1772
01:20:03,960 --> 01:20:05,679
Speaker 14: but he threw the ball away like we were getting

1773
01:20:05,680 --> 01:20:07,360
Speaker 14: pressure here, or we had a bad snap here or

1774
01:20:07,360 --> 01:20:09,760
Speaker 14: whatever it may be, and he did the right thing.

1775
01:20:09,840 --> 01:20:13,639
Speaker 3: He threw the ball away. So he's our guy until

1776
01:20:14,680 --> 01:20:15,679
Speaker 3: designated differently.

1777
01:20:16,000 --> 01:20:18,760
Speaker 14: Yeah, And you know, guys always say to me like, like,

1778
01:20:18,840 --> 01:20:21,240
Speaker 14: how do we you know, and it's like, you just

1779
01:20:21,320 --> 01:20:24,080
Speaker 14: let it play out, and there's a point where you say, okay,

1780
01:20:24,960 --> 01:20:27,600
Speaker 14: either like we're going the right direction or we're not

1781
01:20:27,640 --> 01:20:31,640
Speaker 14: going the right direction. I think, to a man, you

1782
01:20:31,680 --> 01:20:35,120
Speaker 14: know that you know that facility.

1783
01:20:35,800 --> 01:20:36,599
Speaker 3: We all know that.

1784
01:20:36,640 --> 01:20:38,720
Speaker 14: You know right now, Keegan's the guy to lead us,

1785
01:20:38,800 --> 01:20:41,280
Speaker 14: and so uh but I like rant a lot. I mean,

1786
01:20:41,400 --> 01:20:44,000
Speaker 14: I feel very comfortable knowing that I got a really

1787
01:20:44,000 --> 01:20:47,280
Speaker 14: talented guy sitting there who is bol different skill set

1788
01:20:47,840 --> 01:20:50,040
Speaker 14: but can do some really good things. So we'll figure

1789
01:20:50,080 --> 01:20:52,200
Speaker 14: it out game by game and quarter by quarter.

1790
01:20:53,240 --> 01:20:54,880
Speaker 2: Coach, I know, one of the biggest stories, and we're

1791
01:20:54,920 --> 01:20:57,000
Speaker 2: gonnat their force a little bit coming in Archie Stadium.

1792
01:20:57,040 --> 01:20:58,840
Speaker 2: But I'm be re miss if I didn't ask you

1793
01:20:58,840 --> 01:21:00,880
Speaker 2: this because one of the things that over the years,

1794
01:21:01,520 --> 01:21:05,479
Speaker 2: having been an FCS, you could take a number of

1795
01:21:05,520 --> 01:21:07,800
Speaker 2: players from the Vision One school, So you did have

1796
01:21:07,880 --> 01:21:10,880
Speaker 2: transfers over the years that would come from a Division

1797
01:21:10,920 --> 01:21:13,280
Speaker 2: one school and they would come play at Sam Houston.

1798
01:21:13,320 --> 01:21:14,840
Speaker 1: I mean the number of them, the number of them

1799
01:21:14,880 --> 01:21:15,519
Speaker 1: over the years.

1800
01:21:15,760 --> 01:21:17,920
Speaker 2: So you learned how to handle I don't want to

1801
01:21:17,960 --> 01:21:20,040
Speaker 2: call it the transfer portal before the portal, but you

1802
01:21:20,160 --> 01:21:21,559
Speaker 2: kind of did. And now you've seen a lot of

1803
01:21:21,560 --> 01:21:26,160
Speaker 2: coaches trying to figure out how to handle transfers. What's

1804
01:21:26,200 --> 01:21:30,000
Speaker 2: the biggest thing to do? So in your mind, what's

1805
01:21:30,040 --> 01:21:32,080
Speaker 2: the biggest thing and the best thing you've been able

1806
01:21:32,120 --> 01:21:35,200
Speaker 2: to do to make your transfers transfers feel more at

1807
01:21:35,200 --> 01:21:37,679
Speaker 2: home and getting gratiated into the program right away.

1808
01:21:38,160 --> 01:21:41,240
Speaker 14: Yeah, you know, there's a lot of culture building. You know,

1809
01:21:41,320 --> 01:21:44,160
Speaker 14: we we believe that we're Our foundation is love and

1810
01:21:44,200 --> 01:21:47,360
Speaker 14: trust and you can't love somebody unless you know somebody,

1811
01:21:48,080 --> 01:21:49,880
Speaker 14: and you can't trust somebody less you know somebody.

1812
01:21:50,640 --> 01:21:51,960
Speaker 3: So, John, we spent a lot of time get a

1813
01:21:52,000 --> 01:21:52,760
Speaker 3: chance to know each other.

1814
01:21:53,479 --> 01:21:57,920
Speaker 14: And you know, a football team is a living, breathing

1815
01:21:58,080 --> 01:22:04,000
Speaker 14: organism that can change so quickly if guys are late,

1816
01:22:04,600 --> 01:22:07,320
Speaker 14: our guys aren't you know, working hard in the weight room,

1817
01:22:07,720 --> 01:22:10,360
Speaker 14: or guys are going out on a Thursday night, or

1818
01:22:10,680 --> 01:22:13,920
Speaker 14: the practice squad isn't practicing hard enough. I mean it

1819
01:22:14,439 --> 01:22:18,960
Speaker 14: is constantly in flow and in flux, and my job

1820
01:22:19,000 --> 01:22:21,599
Speaker 14: as the head coach is to be conscious of how

1821
01:22:21,600 --> 01:22:25,759
Speaker 14: this organism all interacts together, coaches and players, players and players,

1822
01:22:25,840 --> 01:22:28,719
Speaker 14: coaches and coaches, you know, all those kind of things,

1823
01:22:29,720 --> 01:22:32,960
Speaker 14: you know, make this living, breathing organism which we call

1824
01:22:33,000 --> 01:22:36,160
Speaker 14: a football team. When you bring players in from the outside,

1825
01:22:36,320 --> 01:22:38,960
Speaker 14: you need to be conscious of who you're bringing in,

1826
01:22:39,560 --> 01:22:42,959
Speaker 14: and you need to have some good, strong leaders already

1827
01:22:43,000 --> 01:22:47,240
Speaker 14: here to help assimulate those new players. So I think

1828
01:22:47,240 --> 01:22:51,200
Speaker 14: it's an art form managing a football program.

1829
01:22:51,520 --> 01:22:55,160
Speaker 3: And then especially now with how many guys are transferring.

1830
01:22:55,680 --> 01:22:58,479
Speaker 14: I mean, you know, you look at Colorado, you know

1831
01:22:58,560 --> 01:23:00,719
Speaker 14: the numbers that they took, and they play very well.

1832
01:23:00,800 --> 01:23:02,160
Speaker 3: I mean I saw some of that game.

1833
01:23:04,880 --> 01:23:07,719
Speaker 14: Hats off to Dion for getting those guys to play

1834
01:23:09,040 --> 01:23:11,439
Speaker 14: clean and they believed in each other and they handled

1835
01:23:11,479 --> 01:23:12,120
Speaker 14: the adversity.

1836
01:23:13,240 --> 01:23:14,800
Speaker 3: But it's hard. It is hard.

1837
01:23:14,800 --> 01:23:17,719
Speaker 14: But I think a lot of it is not taking

1838
01:23:17,800 --> 01:23:21,800
Speaker 14: for granted that this thing has to be massaged and

1839
01:23:21,840 --> 01:23:23,720
Speaker 14: it has to be you know, you have to have

1840
01:23:23,760 --> 01:23:26,120
Speaker 14: your eyes wide open and you have to make sure

1841
01:23:26,200 --> 01:23:27,799
Speaker 14: that we're all going in the same direction.

1842
01:23:28,320 --> 01:23:29,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, no doubt.

1843
01:23:29,240 --> 01:23:31,559
Speaker 1: All right, Saturday Air Force.

1844
01:23:31,720 --> 01:23:33,360
Speaker 2: You come in an Energy stadium to take on a

1845
01:23:33,360 --> 01:23:35,160
Speaker 2: different team other than Steven app which will be a

1846
01:23:35,360 --> 01:23:38,360
Speaker 2: little bit weird, I would think. But b it's air Force,

1847
01:23:39,000 --> 01:23:42,120
Speaker 2: a team that runs the ball extremely well, a little

1848
01:23:42,120 --> 01:23:44,920
Speaker 2: different than what you've seen. How big a challenge is

1849
01:23:44,960 --> 01:23:47,519
Speaker 2: it to face air Force this early in the season

1850
01:23:47,680 --> 01:23:49,280
Speaker 2: or just air Force in general.

1851
01:23:50,080 --> 01:23:54,480
Speaker 14: Well, as my staff as reminded me, no one schedules

1852
01:23:54,520 --> 01:23:57,760
Speaker 14: air Force on purpose, and who does this?

1853
01:23:59,520 --> 01:24:00,920
Speaker 3: Why do we schedule air Force?

1854
01:24:01,680 --> 01:24:04,360
Speaker 14: But but it fit in that, you know, we thought

1855
01:24:04,360 --> 01:24:07,320
Speaker 14: we could get a nice crowd and RG Stadium, we'd

1856
01:24:07,439 --> 01:24:10,599
Speaker 14: open dates late because of the transition to FBS.

1857
01:24:10,640 --> 01:24:12,559
Speaker 3: This was an open date that was going to work out.

1858
01:24:13,560 --> 01:24:17,160
Speaker 14: And you want, you want to play those great programs,

1859
01:24:17,240 --> 01:24:18,920
Speaker 14: and you know, we'll get a chance to go up

1860
01:24:18,960 --> 01:24:22,040
Speaker 14: in two years and play up against the Air Force

1861
01:24:22,200 --> 01:24:25,160
Speaker 14: at their place, and it's gonna be an experience that

1862
01:24:25,240 --> 01:24:27,880
Speaker 14: those players on that team will always remember because it

1863
01:24:28,000 --> 01:24:32,479
Speaker 14: is such a unique environment. So yeah, we're playing, like

1864
01:24:32,479 --> 01:24:34,599
Speaker 14: I said earlier, a really good football team that has

1865
01:24:34,720 --> 01:24:36,799
Speaker 14: you know, had a lot of success the last three years.

1866
01:24:37,080 --> 01:24:40,639
Speaker 14: They're a little different loss of quarterback they've taken basically

1867
01:24:40,640 --> 01:24:43,559
Speaker 14: a b back and made him a quarterback. I don't

1868
01:24:43,560 --> 01:24:45,479
Speaker 14: think they're gonna throw the ball around the yard, but

1869
01:24:45,960 --> 01:24:48,799
Speaker 14: you have a guy who's really athletic at that quarterback spot.

1870
01:24:49,120 --> 01:24:54,400
Speaker 14: Expect those quarterback draws, those fake toss bootlegs, some stuff

1871
01:24:54,400 --> 01:24:57,120
Speaker 14: that they can get him going downhill because he is

1872
01:24:57,240 --> 01:25:00,960
Speaker 14: fast and he's a different dimension than what I think

1873
01:25:01,000 --> 01:25:04,080
Speaker 14: they had last year with a more experienced quarterback that

1874
01:25:04,280 --> 01:25:07,240
Speaker 14: ran that pure triple option. And it also go throw

1875
01:25:07,280 --> 01:25:10,840
Speaker 14: the ball a little bit. This young man. I don't

1876
01:25:10,880 --> 01:25:13,360
Speaker 14: know if he can run that pure triple but they're

1877
01:25:13,360 --> 01:25:14,760
Speaker 14: going to be excited to have the ball in his

1878
01:25:14,840 --> 01:25:17,040
Speaker 14: hands with some of those things that they will design

1879
01:25:17,080 --> 01:25:19,240
Speaker 14: specifically for his skill set.

1880
01:25:19,560 --> 01:25:22,120
Speaker 2: Coach Chase me, why you gave up fourteen, but you

1881
01:25:22,240 --> 01:25:24,519
Speaker 2: only gave up fourteen. What do you like this far

1882
01:25:24,560 --> 01:25:27,000
Speaker 2: about the way your defense played in Week one?

1883
01:25:27,920 --> 01:25:30,200
Speaker 3: I really like just our depth.

1884
01:25:31,040 --> 01:25:35,600
Speaker 14: We can rotate in eight linemen, you know, five linebackers,

1885
01:25:35,920 --> 01:25:39,120
Speaker 14: like ten guys in the secondary. And what we'll find

1886
01:25:39,120 --> 01:25:42,080
Speaker 14: out very early is that you need that depth because

1887
01:25:42,160 --> 01:25:43,679
Speaker 14: how physical these games are.

1888
01:25:44,880 --> 01:25:47,080
Speaker 3: But it's a warm and compete unit.

1889
01:25:47,160 --> 01:25:49,920
Speaker 14: I mean, they we've had some pretty good defenses here

1890
01:25:49,920 --> 01:25:52,600
Speaker 14: for a while now. And this is going to be,

1891
01:25:52,760 --> 01:25:55,439
Speaker 14: you know, one of the better ones, and you know

1892
01:25:55,520 --> 01:25:57,880
Speaker 14: this is going to be really how we kind of,

1893
01:25:58,520 --> 01:26:01,920
Speaker 14: you know, move into a success full FBS start is

1894
01:26:01,960 --> 01:26:05,519
Speaker 14: by this defense keeping us in ball games and you know,

1895
01:26:05,720 --> 01:26:07,519
Speaker 14: us figuring out how to score some points.

1896
01:26:08,000 --> 01:26:08,760
Speaker 1: Coach last one.

1897
01:26:08,800 --> 01:26:10,519
Speaker 2: I know each time, as I mentioned, you've coming in

1898
01:26:10,640 --> 01:26:12,839
Speaker 2: RG Stadium, on the other side, you saw a rival,

1899
01:26:13,560 --> 01:26:15,280
Speaker 2: a team you've seen for a while. You're not going

1900
01:26:15,320 --> 01:26:18,440
Speaker 2: to see Steven af but still coming to NRG Stadium.

1901
01:26:19,000 --> 01:26:21,120
Speaker 2: What kind of opportunity is that for your kids? How

1902
01:26:21,200 --> 01:26:23,040
Speaker 2: much do you enjoy coming to Houston to play a

1903
01:26:23,080 --> 01:26:26,160
Speaker 2: game at NRG Stadium in a pro environment and not

1904
01:26:26,280 --> 01:26:27,080
Speaker 2: taking on air force.

1905
01:26:28,080 --> 01:26:31,160
Speaker 14: Well, I always call it our homecoming South. You know

1906
01:26:31,200 --> 01:26:34,240
Speaker 14: it's Bower South and and you know we have a

1907
01:26:34,240 --> 01:26:36,599
Speaker 14: lot of alums down there, and I would think after

1908
01:26:36,640 --> 01:26:38,640
Speaker 14: watching us play by U, there's probably a lot of

1909
01:26:38,680 --> 01:26:41,600
Speaker 14: excitement in terms of like, you know, this is a

1910
01:26:41,720 --> 01:26:47,320
Speaker 14: legitimate FBS, you know, caliber team, uh and again you're

1911
01:26:47,360 --> 01:26:50,639
Speaker 14: you're playing against an out staying opponent. So we love

1912
01:26:50,720 --> 01:26:54,280
Speaker 14: going down and having that experience. I think you'll see

1913
01:26:54,320 --> 01:26:57,280
Speaker 14: us always try to play a game every year down

1914
01:26:57,360 --> 01:27:01,160
Speaker 14: in NRG because again, and we have so many lums

1915
01:27:01,200 --> 01:27:03,800
Speaker 14: in that area that it's it's a it's a great

1916
01:27:03,800 --> 01:27:04,559
Speaker 14: way to bring them out.

1917
01:27:05,000 --> 01:27:05,200
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1918
01:27:05,240 --> 01:27:07,760
Speaker 1: Absolutely, Unfortunately I'm gonna miss this one.

1919
01:27:07,800 --> 01:27:09,559
Speaker 2: Last year, I saw one of the greatest games i'd

1920
01:27:09,600 --> 01:27:12,960
Speaker 2: seen and called with the ending that I'll never forget.

1921
01:27:13,400 --> 01:27:15,960
Speaker 1: We'll miss this one. But coach, best of luck against

1922
01:27:16,000 --> 01:27:16,519
Speaker 1: Air Force.

1923
01:27:17,000 --> 01:27:18,720
Speaker 2: I know you guys, don't know you guys are gonna

1924
01:27:18,760 --> 01:27:20,080
Speaker 2: come to play hard, but I appreciate your time.

1925
01:27:20,120 --> 01:27:20,599
Speaker 1: Thank you, Coach.

1926
01:27:21,000 --> 01:27:21,559
Speaker 3: Thanks John.

1927
01:27:21,920 --> 01:27:23,719
Speaker 1: May you talk about two straight up dudes.

1928
01:27:23,880 --> 01:27:28,000
Speaker 2: Holy cow, Troy Calhoun of the Air Force Academy, Casey Keeler,

1929
01:27:28,040 --> 01:27:31,720
Speaker 2: tremendous leaders, great great dudes, and I love catching up

1930
01:27:31,760 --> 01:27:34,639
Speaker 2: with Casey. We've been doing these production meetings and phone

1931
01:27:34,680 --> 01:27:38,680
Speaker 2: calls now for probably a decade and he is just fantastic.

1932
01:27:38,720 --> 01:27:41,519
Speaker 2: And I let Mark have the phone call with UH

1933
01:27:41,640 --> 01:27:44,000
Speaker 2: with Coach Calhoun. I knew he wanted to catch up

1934
01:27:44,040 --> 01:27:46,600
Speaker 2: with him, so that was that was good. So representation

1935
01:27:46,840 --> 01:27:49,960
Speaker 2: on both sides. Speaking of representation, how about some in

1936
01:27:50,000 --> 01:27:51,120
Speaker 2: the lab representation.

1937
01:27:51,400 --> 01:27:54,519
Speaker 1: That's next on Texans All Access. What's Up Everybody?

1938
01:27:54,520 --> 01:27:57,679
Speaker 2: One final segment of a Wednesday issue of Texans All.

1939
01:27:57,520 --> 01:27:58,680
Speaker 1: Access for Week one.

1940
01:27:58,720 --> 01:28:02,439
Speaker 2: I'm your host, John Harris FOOTBA sideline reporter for your

1941
01:28:02,600 --> 01:28:05,680
Speaker 2: Houston Texans. Glad you've been with me, and now it's

1942
01:28:05,760 --> 01:28:08,439
Speaker 2: time to go in the lab. In the lab crew

1943
01:28:08,640 --> 01:28:10,160
Speaker 2: made Drew Doherty Let's.

1944
01:28:10,000 --> 01:28:12,800
Speaker 15: Rock Monday, we went into the Texans locker room for

1945
01:28:12,800 --> 01:28:14,720
Speaker 15: a little bit. We heard Miko Ryan speak at the

1946
01:28:14,720 --> 01:28:18,280
Speaker 15: press conference. Right Demiko had this to say about getting

1947
01:28:18,320 --> 01:28:21,439
Speaker 15: ready for a Ravens offense that's gonna look a little

1948
01:28:21,479 --> 01:28:23,439
Speaker 15: bit different than it has in years past.

1949
01:28:23,880 --> 01:28:26,240
Speaker 13: It's a challenge because you don't know what you're gonna

1950
01:28:26,240 --> 01:28:29,439
Speaker 13: get until a lot of unknown and that's every first game.

1951
01:28:29,479 --> 01:28:31,760
Speaker 13: There's a lot of unknown with the first game in

1952
01:28:31,800 --> 01:28:35,040
Speaker 13: the NFL every year. So you know, you trust your technique,

1953
01:28:35,040 --> 01:28:37,840
Speaker 13: trust your fundamentals, trust our preparation of what we've been

1954
01:28:37,880 --> 01:28:40,360
Speaker 13: working on all through our training camp, and guys just

1955
01:28:40,439 --> 01:28:42,479
Speaker 13: have to be where they're supposed to be and playing

1956
01:28:42,520 --> 01:28:45,360
Speaker 13: as eleven. And it's really the first game is really

1957
01:28:45,360 --> 01:28:49,400
Speaker 13: it's truly all about us, right offensively, defense especially, it's

1958
01:28:49,439 --> 01:28:52,759
Speaker 13: about us. If we do our job, everybody is playing together,

1959
01:28:52,920 --> 01:28:54,360
Speaker 13: then that'll take care of itself.

1960
01:28:54,479 --> 01:28:57,000
Speaker 15: Now, John, it's gonna be a different offense clearly, but

1961
01:28:57,479 --> 01:28:59,759
Speaker 15: really what's it gonna be. I talked with Jimmy Ward.

1962
01:29:00,160 --> 01:29:02,519
Speaker 15: He had an interesting take on things as far as

1963
01:29:02,880 --> 01:29:06,800
Speaker 15: how you study film of them, and how the Ravens

1964
01:29:06,840 --> 01:29:09,840
Speaker 15: are gonna study film of the Texans defense.

1965
01:29:10,200 --> 01:29:12,800
Speaker 16: They're probably going back looking at the twenty nineteen games

1966
01:29:13,000 --> 01:29:15,800
Speaker 16: really like you gotta go off the preseason games. You know,

1967
01:29:15,880 --> 01:29:17,479
Speaker 16: the first game is kind of up in the air,

1968
01:29:17,560 --> 01:29:19,160
Speaker 16: like we really don't know what they're gonna do.

1969
01:29:19,200 --> 01:29:20,400
Speaker 9: They really don't know what we're gonna do.

1970
01:29:20,520 --> 01:29:22,680
Speaker 16: We got, you know, supposedly, you know, we got to

1971
01:29:22,720 --> 01:29:25,280
Speaker 16: go back to look at old film. They probably looking

1972
01:29:25,320 --> 01:29:27,880
Speaker 16: at old fort nine er fam were looking at their

1973
01:29:28,040 --> 01:29:30,240
Speaker 16: finn were looking at Georgia film. So we don't know

1974
01:29:30,280 --> 01:29:32,360
Speaker 16: what we're gonna get. But when it comes down to

1975
01:29:32,439 --> 01:29:34,920
Speaker 16: it comes down to like just you know, playing ball

1976
01:29:34,960 --> 01:29:37,520
Speaker 16: with great fundamentals and just having great technique.

1977
01:29:37,560 --> 01:29:39,639
Speaker 15: It's a bit of a chess match. You don't really

1978
01:29:39,680 --> 01:29:43,040
Speaker 15: know exactly what's gonna happen offensively, how they're gonna line up,

1979
01:29:43,040 --> 01:29:45,479
Speaker 15: what they're gonna do, And on the flip side, they

1980
01:29:45,479 --> 01:29:48,840
Speaker 15: don't really know defensively what to expect. All the way

1981
01:29:49,400 --> 01:29:51,680
Speaker 15: from the Texans there's gonna be wrinkles all around. But

1982
01:29:52,439 --> 01:29:55,880
Speaker 15: if you had to hazard your best, guess what sort

1983
01:29:55,920 --> 01:29:58,280
Speaker 15: of offense is gonna be rolled out there for the

1984
01:29:58,360 --> 01:30:01,400
Speaker 15: Ravens on Sunday that the Texans got to get set for.

1985
01:30:01,880 --> 01:30:04,759
Speaker 2: Well, this is what makes it interesting. I would imagine

1986
01:30:04,800 --> 01:30:07,360
Speaker 2: that in this building there's a lot of University of

1987
01:30:07,400 --> 01:30:11,000
Speaker 2: Georgia film being watched. I imagine over in their building

1988
01:30:11,040 --> 01:30:13,000
Speaker 2: there's a lot of forty nine ers film.

1989
01:30:12,800 --> 01:30:13,720
Speaker 3: That they're over there watch.

1990
01:30:13,840 --> 01:30:16,879
Speaker 2: Jimmy said, So it's almost like they're not even watching

1991
01:30:17,479 --> 01:30:18,799
Speaker 2: the Texans and the Ravens.

1992
01:30:18,880 --> 01:30:20,760
Speaker 6: You probably are watching the preseason games get a.

1993
01:30:20,720 --> 01:30:23,679
Speaker 2: Little idea, maybe the personnel, but you know, Lamar hasn't

1994
01:30:23,680 --> 01:30:27,040
Speaker 2: played a game in a while, so I don't know

1995
01:30:27,200 --> 01:30:29,799
Speaker 2: how much. And even if you watch him on film,

1996
01:30:29,880 --> 01:30:32,759
Speaker 2: I don't even know that you can get truly prepared

1997
01:30:32,800 --> 01:30:35,880
Speaker 2: for him in that way. And I think that's that's

1998
01:30:35,920 --> 01:30:37,920
Speaker 2: the biggest thing. It's Look, it's it's really hard to

1999
01:30:39,040 --> 01:30:43,519
Speaker 2: really comprehend what each unit could be doing. I mean,

2000
01:30:43,520 --> 01:30:46,680
Speaker 2: we watched the defense all, you know, all summer, but

2001
01:30:46,720 --> 01:30:49,640
Speaker 2: there's a lot of times where we're not having an

2002
01:30:49,640 --> 01:30:52,000
Speaker 2: opportunity to watch them, you know, they're doing things and

2003
01:30:52,080 --> 01:30:52,479
Speaker 2: walk through.

2004
01:30:52,400 --> 01:30:54,799
Speaker 6: They're doing things we saw was basic stuff, right.

2005
01:30:55,160 --> 01:30:57,760
Speaker 2: So it's hard to even you know, even I'm going

2006
01:30:57,800 --> 01:30:59,200
Speaker 2: back to the forty nine ers, like, Okay, what did

2007
01:30:59,200 --> 01:30:59,880
Speaker 2: the forty nine ers do?

2008
01:31:00,160 --> 01:31:01,439
Speaker 6: Here's some of the things to look out for.

2009
01:31:01,680 --> 01:31:03,760
Speaker 2: I think it facing the Ravens Todd Monkins, a new

2010
01:31:03,800 --> 01:31:09,360
Speaker 2: offensive coordinator coming over from the Georgia Bulldogs, and their

2011
01:31:09,400 --> 01:31:12,960
Speaker 2: offense with Stetson Bennett who's now with La Rams. I mean,

2012
01:31:12,960 --> 01:31:16,280
Speaker 2: stets can run, but they had a lot of pro concepts,

2013
01:31:16,840 --> 01:31:18,759
Speaker 2: you know, a lot of you know, trap protection passing,

2014
01:31:18,840 --> 01:31:22,040
Speaker 2: drop back passing, you know, some playoffs and stuff, some RPOs.

2015
01:31:22,280 --> 01:31:25,080
Speaker 2: I think one of the things that the Ravens will

2016
01:31:25,120 --> 01:31:30,280
Speaker 2: do is run screens, a different types of screens to

2017
01:31:30,400 --> 01:31:32,840
Speaker 2: try and get save flowers available, to try and get

2018
01:31:32,840 --> 01:31:35,720
Speaker 2: the ball out to OBJ. I think they'll want to

2019
01:31:35,800 --> 01:31:38,240
Speaker 2: use screens to use that as an extension of the

2020
01:31:38,320 --> 01:31:41,519
Speaker 2: run game. My hope is that the Texans will hopefully

2021
01:31:41,560 --> 01:31:43,719
Speaker 2: bottle up the run game and they've got to find

2022
01:31:43,800 --> 01:31:47,640
Speaker 2: ways to get the ball out to those weapons. I

2023
01:31:47,680 --> 01:31:51,080
Speaker 2: don't quite know what to expect from the running backs

2024
01:31:51,200 --> 01:31:54,160
Speaker 2: of Baltimore, you know, JK Dobbins is you know, is

2025
01:31:54,200 --> 01:31:55,440
Speaker 2: not happy with his contract.

2026
01:31:55,800 --> 01:31:58,080
Speaker 6: You know, who knows who what happens there.

2027
01:31:58,240 --> 01:32:00,840
Speaker 2: I do know that if they've got Flowers, they've got

2028
01:32:00,840 --> 01:32:03,519
Speaker 2: obj and they got a shot Bateman, Lamar can't get

2029
01:32:03,520 --> 01:32:05,439
Speaker 2: back there and throw football. And then it's a matter

2030
01:32:05,479 --> 01:32:08,200
Speaker 2: of okay, well, is Lamar finding those guys open to

2031
01:32:08,400 --> 01:32:09,880
Speaker 2: too much time? Do we have to bring a blitz?

2032
01:32:09,920 --> 01:32:11,880
Speaker 2: We bring a blitz? Then how do you account for Lamar?

2033
01:32:11,920 --> 01:32:14,040
Speaker 2: Do you spy on Lamar? There are a lot of

2034
01:32:14,040 --> 01:32:16,000
Speaker 2: different things that are going to have to happen. But

2035
01:32:16,280 --> 01:32:18,519
Speaker 2: haven't seen Lamar in a long time. Haven't seen him

2036
01:32:18,560 --> 01:32:21,879
Speaker 2: in this offense. Ever, some new players in this offense.

2037
01:32:22,040 --> 01:32:25,000
Speaker 2: So my hope is there's a lot of rust as

2038
01:32:25,000 --> 01:32:28,040
Speaker 2: they're trying to incorporate all of this, and the Texans

2039
01:32:28,080 --> 01:32:30,400
Speaker 2: are able to take advantage of that. And I think

2040
01:32:30,640 --> 01:32:33,559
Speaker 2: one of the things, especially with Lamar, and I think

2041
01:32:33,640 --> 01:32:35,720
Speaker 2: this happens for a lot of guys. Lamar has not

2042
01:32:35,800 --> 01:32:38,200
Speaker 2: been tackled at all. He's been tackling in training camp.

2043
01:32:38,200 --> 01:32:40,040
Speaker 2: He didn't play a preseason game. He has been tackled

2044
01:32:40,040 --> 01:32:43,479
Speaker 2: at all the first few times that he runs the

2045
01:32:43,520 --> 01:32:46,599
Speaker 2: football to the extent that you can get guys there

2046
01:32:46,600 --> 01:32:48,760
Speaker 2: to stop him. You've got to have a couple of

2047
01:32:48,800 --> 01:32:52,639
Speaker 2: guys physically leaving an impression, and the third and fourth

2048
01:32:52,680 --> 01:32:54,679
Speaker 2: guys have got to be punching to get the ball out,

2049
01:32:54,800 --> 01:32:57,000
Speaker 2: because when you haven't been tackled for a while, and

2050
01:32:57,000 --> 01:32:59,200
Speaker 2: I would say the last time obviously, his last game

2051
01:32:59,280 --> 01:33:03,720
Speaker 2: was what back in November twenty two, So it's to

2052
01:33:03,840 --> 01:33:04,479
Speaker 2: the mat ten.

2053
01:33:04,360 --> 01:33:06,920
Speaker 6: Eleven months since he's been hit.

2054
01:33:07,280 --> 01:33:09,120
Speaker 2: And if he's gonna choose to run the ball, which

2055
01:33:09,120 --> 01:33:11,519
Speaker 2: I would imagine, they'll have some runs. First couple of

2056
01:33:11,560 --> 01:33:14,160
Speaker 2: guys hold him up. Next guy's bang bang, punch that

2057
01:33:14,200 --> 01:33:17,599
Speaker 2: thing out. You'll get one out because guys haven't been

2058
01:33:17,600 --> 01:33:20,400
Speaker 2: tackled the first time they get tackled. Your body has

2059
01:33:20,439 --> 01:33:22,360
Speaker 2: to get callous to his body isn't callous to it.

2060
01:33:22,400 --> 01:33:24,640
Speaker 2: Now you have to get there to be able to

2061
01:33:24,640 --> 01:33:27,920
Speaker 2: do that. So I do think there'll be some design

2062
01:33:27,960 --> 01:33:30,280
Speaker 2: run game. I do think there's gonna be some scrambles

2063
01:33:30,320 --> 01:33:32,600
Speaker 2: on a straight dropback. I do think there's going to

2064
01:33:32,680 --> 01:33:36,080
Speaker 2: be some bootlegs and some movement move the pocket things

2065
01:33:36,080 --> 01:33:38,840
Speaker 2: for Lamar, and you just have to stick and move

2066
01:33:38,840 --> 01:33:41,439
Speaker 2: the best you can On defense because it's all gonna

2067
01:33:41,439 --> 01:33:44,080
Speaker 2: be new now, flip side. You can show some things

2068
01:33:44,120 --> 01:33:47,519
Speaker 2: defensively to Lamar that maybe he hasn't and won't see

2069
01:33:47,560 --> 01:33:50,280
Speaker 2: on film. But my guess is they've got every forty

2070
01:33:50,360 --> 01:33:53,280
Speaker 2: nine Ers game last year or two, and we've got

2071
01:33:53,320 --> 01:33:56,080
Speaker 2: every Georgia game for the last year or two, and

2072
01:33:56,240 --> 01:33:59,439
Speaker 2: there really is no like the preseason you probably have

2073
01:33:59,720 --> 01:34:00,400
Speaker 2: gone through.

2074
01:34:00,600 --> 01:34:02,720
Speaker 6: But it's so vanilla. Like you said, it's really just

2075
01:34:02,760 --> 01:34:04,520
Speaker 6: to get kind of an idea of personnel.

2076
01:34:05,280 --> 01:34:08,599
Speaker 2: But with those guys not having been tackled during the preseason, man,

2077
01:34:08,800 --> 01:34:11,320
Speaker 2: bring the funk because you just when you're not tackled.

2078
01:34:11,360 --> 01:34:13,000
Speaker 6: Also, boom, it's the first time you've got tackled in

2079
01:34:13,000 --> 01:34:14,519
Speaker 6: a while. Man, that ball get popped out.

2080
01:34:14,680 --> 01:34:16,000
Speaker 2: And you never know in a game like this when

2081
01:34:16,040 --> 01:34:17,840
Speaker 2: you get a turnover early what that can mean for

2082
01:34:17,920 --> 01:34:21,600
Speaker 2: your offense with one offense that's got a lot of

2083
01:34:21,720 --> 01:34:24,400
Speaker 2: changes with rookies at some key spots.

2084
01:34:24,560 --> 01:34:26,679
Speaker 1: All right, that's gonna do it for our Wednesday show.

2085
01:34:26,760 --> 01:34:28,320
