1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:02,680 Speaker 1: Welcome in, everybody to a Tuesday edition of Texans All 2 00:00:02,720 --> 00:00:07,160 Speaker 1: Access from the Hounday Texans Radio Studio. I'm your host, 3 00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:11,360 Speaker 1: John Harris, and typically I'm on Monday and Mark run 4 00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:15,440 Speaker 1: runs this point on Tuesday. Yeah, Mark did it yesterday, 5 00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:18,640 Speaker 1: so I'm doing it today. So welcome in, John Harris here, 6 00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:22,279 Speaker 1: Mark Vanum there. Mark, is your homeostasis completely thrown off 7 00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:26,360 Speaker 1: because of that sole fact that I'm driving Tuesday when 8 00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:30,120 Speaker 1: you usually drive Tuesday. Johnny, I can't complain, and I'm 9 00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:33,360 Speaker 1: not complaining about this, but the draft is definitely taxing. 10 00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:36,440 Speaker 1: But I can't say anything about that because you were 11 00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:39,240 Speaker 1: on every second of it. And I had a little 12 00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:41,839 Speaker 1: three to four hour break on Saturday, although I was 13 00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:44,360 Speaker 1: right there like next to you guys and writing and stuff, 14 00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:46,720 Speaker 1: but you were talking the whole time. And you do 15 00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:50,479 Speaker 1: the pre TV show and what day was it? Friday? 16 00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:52,479 Speaker 1: It was about an hour and a half show. So 17 00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:55,639 Speaker 1: that's another and that's TV. And Saturday you had one 18 00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:58,000 Speaker 1: than Saturday Night, you had the special. You had all 19 00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:00,080 Speaker 1: these things to do. So I can only imagine it 20 00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:02,440 Speaker 1: how you feel, because yesterday I was still kind of 21 00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:05,240 Speaker 1: dragging from the draft a little bit. Sunday wasn't enough, 22 00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:08,160 Speaker 1: but it's a good kind of tired because we got 23 00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:10,840 Speaker 1: all these picks. The team is better. Last night on 24 00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:12,679 Speaker 1: the show, I think I said a Texans All Access 25 00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:15,640 Speaker 1: record for interviews because I ran just about every pick 26 00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:19,600 Speaker 1: lost David Shaw plus Nick as Sarrio. So it was 27 00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:22,040 Speaker 1: pretty awesome to have all that stuff on last night. 28 00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:25,240 Speaker 1: It was it was weird not being on yesterday, but 29 00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:30,320 Speaker 1: I appreciated it. I needed it on a lot of 30 00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:33,440 Speaker 1: it for levels. But we're back and we could talk 31 00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:35,240 Speaker 1: a little bit. We're gonna talk about this draft because 32 00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:39,560 Speaker 1: you know, Mark having an opportunity. You know, Saturday after 33 00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:43,319 Speaker 1: pick two oh five was at the last pick, pick 34 00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:45,520 Speaker 1: two o five Austin Deiculous in the sixth round. I 35 00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:47,280 Speaker 1: think that was the think that was last pick we 36 00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:49,920 Speaker 1: were on. We were on here for a while and 37 00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:52,920 Speaker 1: then we're waiting for Nick to do his press conference 38 00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:56,280 Speaker 1: and then join us for his live radio hit with us. 39 00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:59,560 Speaker 1: I don't know that we you and I really got 40 00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:03,000 Speaker 1: a chance to kind of dive back in to what 41 00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:08,040 Speaker 1: the Texans did over the weekend, what the response has 42 00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:14,120 Speaker 1: been nationally locally to what the Texans did in the draft, 43 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:17,760 Speaker 1: and really just kind of encapsulate the whole thing. And look, 44 00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:20,040 Speaker 1: I know it's Tuesday and thing finished on Saturday, but 45 00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:25,040 Speaker 1: it felt like to me, Mark the Vibes were good, 46 00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:30,440 Speaker 1: good players at positions the Texans really needed. They spread 47 00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:32,959 Speaker 1: the wealth that they picked two offensive linemen, but one's 48 00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,520 Speaker 1: a guard and one's a tackle for now. I mean, 49 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:37,840 Speaker 1: Austin I think could go back into or could go 50 00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:41,040 Speaker 1: into guard at some point because of the way he's built. 51 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:43,680 Speaker 1: I mean he's doing at twenty five pounds, pretty strong, dude. 52 00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:45,160 Speaker 1: I think he could go into guard if he were 53 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:48,320 Speaker 1: asked at some point. But they spread the wealth. They 54 00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:54,920 Speaker 1: did not draft a quarterback, a punter. We're an edge player. 55 00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:58,720 Speaker 1: But and we'll get to this a little bit later, 56 00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:00,880 Speaker 1: but Nikossario told us he's like, look, don't worry about it. 57 00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:02,480 Speaker 1: We got a couple of things in the works and 58 00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,680 Speaker 1: then a ban by the bang Raschim Green's a Texan 59 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:08,480 Speaker 1: and so is Mario Addison, So they had that already 60 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:11,760 Speaker 1: taken care of going into the draft. But your gut 61 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:17,360 Speaker 1: reaction to what they did over the weekend, starting with 62 00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:21,800 Speaker 1: Derek Stingley LSU, finishing with Austin deculous of LSU. Sure 63 00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:24,800 Speaker 1: overall gut reaction to the thoughts and the feelings of 64 00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:27,360 Speaker 1: this draft in twenty twenty two. Well, I thought it 65 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:30,119 Speaker 1: was thorough and I think everyone's picking up on that. Right. 66 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:34,360 Speaker 1: When you pick at every position group but quarterback, you've 67 00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:38,200 Speaker 1: definitely helped your team. You've sprinkled some good players into 68 00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:42,480 Speaker 1: every group, including tight end, and we'll see what happens. 69 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:44,640 Speaker 1: You know, not everybody's gonna make it. It's the hard 70 00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:47,120 Speaker 1: truth of the draft. If you hit on every single 71 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:50,560 Speaker 1: one of these guys, Oh my gosh. But Johnny, I 72 00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:53,240 Speaker 1: hate to bring it up like this, but I felt 73 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:55,320 Speaker 1: a little bit like I did in two thousand and 74 00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:58,640 Speaker 1: six when they had that draft going on. And the 75 00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:00,200 Speaker 1: reason why I say I hate it because I don't 76 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:02,440 Speaker 1: want to put this on those guys that they just 77 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:05,680 Speaker 1: picked yet, because that's the best class I think in history, 78 00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:08,960 Speaker 1: top to bottom. And Drew Doherty might argue two thousand 79 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,360 Speaker 1: and nine with Brian Cushing and Connor Barwin and those 80 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:13,720 Speaker 1: guys James Casey, that was a good class as well. 81 00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,320 Speaker 1: But I thought this was two thousand and six was 82 00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:19,279 Speaker 1: an exceptional class. It's bared out to be that way, 83 00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:22,520 Speaker 1: and I felt the same feelings I felt during that draft, 84 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,120 Speaker 1: and I'm gonna be honest, I've never felt the same 85 00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:30,080 Speaker 1: way since that draft until now. Now. Particular players maybe 86 00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:32,279 Speaker 1: here and there, a guy here and they're sure, but 87 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:34,839 Speaker 1: as a class, I just felt like they were hitting 88 00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:37,400 Speaker 1: all the right notes during the draft. Now again, they 89 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:39,800 Speaker 1: got to hit the right notes when they're playing the sport, 90 00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:43,279 Speaker 1: but as far as the weekend went, I really felt 91 00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:45,320 Speaker 1: that way, and I'm so glad they were taking care 92 00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:48,440 Speaker 1: of positions of need and it was fitting into where 93 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:50,680 Speaker 1: these guys fit on their board. I assume, because I 94 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,080 Speaker 1: know Nick's not gonna reach on guys. I do think, 95 00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:55,720 Speaker 1: like you've said before, he looks at players and clusters 96 00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:59,159 Speaker 1: and hey, we've got this running back available right here, 97 00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:01,559 Speaker 1: and they had other but they like him the best. 98 00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:04,760 Speaker 1: Let's go get Damian Pierce early on Saturday boom, Let's 99 00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:08,599 Speaker 1: go get him Friday night. Let's go get peatree. We 100 00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:11,000 Speaker 1: want a safety, and we have him on our board 101 00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:14,120 Speaker 1: very high, and this is all right. He might not 102 00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:17,920 Speaker 1: be Hamilton, but maybe he's even better than Hamilton, or 103 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:19,560 Speaker 1: maybe he's just as good, or maybe he's not quite 104 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:21,479 Speaker 1: as good, but he's still really good. Whatever they think 105 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:23,760 Speaker 1: of him, go ahead, and take him right there. Same 106 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:26,599 Speaker 1: thing with Metschi. And I heard Sean and Seth talking 107 00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:29,440 Speaker 1: this morning about how according to a lot of the mocks, 108 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:32,080 Speaker 1: and I guess they had a consensus of something like 109 00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:35,640 Speaker 1: five hundred mocks. I believe Sean called everybody experts. There 110 00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:38,839 Speaker 1: aren't five hundred experts out there, okay, I mean there's 111 00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:41,880 Speaker 1: about ten. And I think he would agree with me 112 00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:46,160 Speaker 1: on that, but that they picked guys maybe before they 113 00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:47,960 Speaker 1: should have been picked, or could have been picked or 114 00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:51,560 Speaker 1: whatever some were quote reaches, and I thought he wasn't 115 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:54,760 Speaker 1: being negative really overall, because he knows they're good players. Johnny. 116 00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:56,799 Speaker 1: My feeling is, if you like a player, go ahead 117 00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,360 Speaker 1: and take them. Nick's gonna moved down if he possibly can, 118 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:01,520 Speaker 1: but he out the guys when he wanted to get them, 119 00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:03,839 Speaker 1: and I think they feel pretty good about it. But 120 00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:05,919 Speaker 1: as you pointed out, it's all part of a bigger 121 00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:09,120 Speaker 1: picture process here where they did add a couple of 122 00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:11,640 Speaker 1: guys yesterday and they're going to continue to do that 123 00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,520 Speaker 1: as needed, no doubt. I think the one thing to 124 00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:16,719 Speaker 1: that point, Mark and I said it during the draft. 125 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:22,039 Speaker 1: I found myself Friday night after they had drafted Jalen Petree, 126 00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:25,159 Speaker 1: knowing that at the time they had sixty eight and 127 00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:28,080 Speaker 1: eighty still left on the board. And I remember after 128 00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:31,800 Speaker 1: they drafted Jalen Petrie, I kept thinking, Okay, all right, 129 00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:36,360 Speaker 1: which one's next. I have not felt that way during 130 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:40,640 Speaker 1: a draft for the Texans. Now. I've been excited about picks, 131 00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:43,240 Speaker 1: don't get me wrong, but I don't know that. I mean, 132 00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:46,000 Speaker 1: I was chomping at the bit to see who was 133 00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:49,800 Speaker 1: going to be next, what was Nick going to do? 134 00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:52,839 Speaker 1: And I think that makes makes it fun for us. 135 00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:56,400 Speaker 1: It makes it fun for the Texans fans to know, hey, 136 00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:58,239 Speaker 1: wait a second, we might be at thirty seven, sixty 137 00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:02,120 Speaker 1: eight eighty, but Nick by be moving around and you 138 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:04,520 Speaker 1: better be on your piece. And Ques, because I know 139 00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,760 Speaker 1: we they talked about the Petrie pick. On Friday night, 140 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 1: everybody had sort of left. I was sitting on my computer. 141 00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:13,280 Speaker 1: I look up and I see all the Texas have 142 00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:16,800 Speaker 1: traded up to forty four. Guys, guys, we gotta go, 143 00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:19,320 Speaker 1: we gotta go, We gotta get back on the air. 144 00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:22,880 Speaker 1: And at that point, you I'm trying to remember who's 145 00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:25,720 Speaker 1: producing any think, and maybe Robert Harrison. You said, Robert, 146 00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:27,920 Speaker 1: get us out, get us out. We gotta go, we 147 00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:29,760 Speaker 1: gotta get out of this break. And I gotta give 148 00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:33,560 Speaker 1: credit to our producers. Man, they're fantastic all week long, 149 00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:37,280 Speaker 1: just dancing with the draft, especially Thursday night. B Mac 150 00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:40,160 Speaker 1: was great, Robert Harris on Friday was fantastic, and our 151 00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:43,640 Speaker 1: guys on Saturday were excellent as well. But that was 152 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:45,520 Speaker 1: the one thing that's to me, Mark, was the fact 153 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:49,960 Speaker 1: that I kept like, Okay, who's who's next, Who's next? 154 00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:53,720 Speaker 1: And that was really who was really telling I was. 155 00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:56,920 Speaker 1: I had not felt that way and then, and it 156 00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:59,080 Speaker 1: probably goes to your point about why two thousand and 157 00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:01,720 Speaker 1: six was so exciting, And the thing about it is, 158 00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:08,080 Speaker 1: in two thousand and six, four months months, we had 159 00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:11,320 Speaker 1: reconciled ourselves to the fact that, well, it's gonna be 160 00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:13,640 Speaker 1: Reggie Bush, so what are they gonna do with the 161 00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:16,840 Speaker 1: second round? And then the night before it's not Reggie Bush. 162 00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:20,040 Speaker 1: So now we're like, well, wait a second. But then 163 00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:23,080 Speaker 1: you see Mario Williams drafted, and you had all night 164 00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:25,840 Speaker 1: to figure that out, and then it's Damiko. Ryan's like 165 00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:29,800 Speaker 1: whoa wait, hold on here, and then you're seeing you 166 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,720 Speaker 1: Charles Spencer, Eric Winston, and you're seeing this thing come 167 00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:35,640 Speaker 1: together and you're like, Yo, this is nice. And I 168 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:40,400 Speaker 1: was live blogging that whole that whole thing every single pick, 169 00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:43,240 Speaker 1: and every time the Texas made a pick, I'm like, wow, 170 00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:46,280 Speaker 1: Holy smokes, this is good. So it had that same 171 00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:51,000 Speaker 1: sort of feeling of who is next, and to your point, 172 00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:54,320 Speaker 1: are all nine of them going to pan out? No, 173 00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:59,680 Speaker 1: but one of them has to be on a shadow 174 00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:02,600 Speaker 1: it out. One of them has to And obviously Derek 175 00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:05,000 Speaker 1: Stingley's gonna come up with a lot of pressure. Not 176 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:08,880 Speaker 1: only is he drafted third, he's the highest drafted cornerback 177 00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:11,120 Speaker 1: I think of all time. He's up there with a 178 00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:14,720 Speaker 1: couple of guys, and he was taking one spot ahead 179 00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:16,600 Speaker 1: of Sauce Gardener, a guy that a lot of people 180 00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:19,760 Speaker 1: had fallen in love with in this process. But Mark, 181 00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:22,040 Speaker 1: I think they got the right guy. And you can 182 00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:24,760 Speaker 1: see to my rankings they've been that way the entire time. 183 00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:28,880 Speaker 1: Derek Stingley was number one at corner the entire time, 184 00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:32,199 Speaker 1: had him no lawyer lower than seventh. I think I 185 00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:35,040 Speaker 1: think he finished at five, and then he ends up 186 00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:37,839 Speaker 1: getting drafted at three. He has to work out, I mean, 187 00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:41,520 Speaker 1: for a number of different reasons, but he has to 188 00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:45,080 Speaker 1: work out, but I have this hunch that he will, 189 00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:47,800 Speaker 1: and I mean, I want to have that hunch forever, 190 00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:50,840 Speaker 1: you guy. But I just feel like Stingley's coming to 191 00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:52,760 Speaker 1: show everybody. Yeah, you might have doubted me in the 192 00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:54,680 Speaker 1: last couple of years, but I can ball watch what 193 00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:57,080 Speaker 1: I can do. Well, let me throw this at you. 194 00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:01,880 Speaker 1: If Stingley turns out to be to cornerbacks, what Mario 195 00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:04,840 Speaker 1: Williams Never mind the lack of a second contract with 196 00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:08,160 Speaker 1: the franchise that drafts him. But if he's as good 197 00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:12,440 Speaker 1: a corner as Mario is at defensive end, what are 198 00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:16,560 Speaker 1: your thoughts on that? Because and I'll go further, Petrie 199 00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:22,120 Speaker 1: is Demiko Ryan's right in this comparison project here, and 200 00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:27,200 Speaker 1: then Metchi is as good a receiver as Eric Winston 201 00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:31,360 Speaker 1: say is at right tackle. You know you'll take that right, 202 00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:34,360 Speaker 1: You'll take that in the top three right there. And 203 00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:36,680 Speaker 1: then what I know, Spencer didn't work out, But I 204 00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:39,600 Speaker 1: remember when Winston and Spencer went back to back, I 205 00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:42,280 Speaker 1: think with Spencer Winston to start the third round, and 206 00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:44,120 Speaker 1: everything was on Saturday back then, so that was a 207 00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:46,480 Speaker 1: long day and there we were looking at that third 208 00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:48,040 Speaker 1: d We used to go off the air after round one. 209 00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:52,440 Speaker 1: By the way, we go off the air the rest 210 00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:56,400 Speaker 1: of the draft. I remember the Mattress Mac Tennis tournament 211 00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:59,480 Speaker 1: over at West Side on Sunday and following the draft, 212 00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:02,640 Speaker 1: you know, on the radio, the national radio. We used 213 00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:05,839 Speaker 1: to not do the whole draft. Wow, imagine those days. 214 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:09,800 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't even not going not going back 215 00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:12,560 Speaker 1: a Look, it's in our blood we have to do. 216 00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:16,280 Speaker 1: We're mainline in the draft right now. But but if 217 00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:18,679 Speaker 1: this class turns out to be somewhat similar to that, 218 00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:21,719 Speaker 1: you'll take it all day loss. Yes, yes, I mean 219 00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:25,600 Speaker 1: you have to have that that point of reference for 220 00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:27,960 Speaker 1: the reset, the rebill have you want to talk about it. 221 00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:30,680 Speaker 1: I think it started last year with that draft class, 222 00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:34,760 Speaker 1: especially getting Davis Mills the first pick of Nikko Sario 223 00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:37,920 Speaker 1: in the third round. But every piece after became a 224 00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:41,560 Speaker 1: vital piece. And now you start fitting the puzzle pieces together. 225 00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:44,559 Speaker 1: And there's so many things to like about this draft. 226 00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:46,520 Speaker 1: But you know, I think Christian Harris was the one 227 00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:49,600 Speaker 1: who said it best. He was a teammated John Metchi. 228 00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:52,400 Speaker 1: In fact, they were the same number eight teammated John Metchi. 229 00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:54,400 Speaker 1: So knew Metchi well. He was working out and it's 230 00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:56,600 Speaker 1: from Baton Rouge. He was working out with Derek Stingley, 231 00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:59,520 Speaker 1: so he already knew Derek Stingley. And obviously they played 232 00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:03,280 Speaker 1: LSU against Alabama. There's a there was a you know, 233 00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:07,000 Speaker 1: Austin Deculus played the LSU with Derek Stingley. These guys 234 00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:08,920 Speaker 1: know each other, which is kind of cool. They're coming 235 00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:12,040 Speaker 1: in here and hopefully that creates a pre tight bond 236 00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:14,600 Speaker 1: amongst this draft class that's got to be as vital 237 00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:17,760 Speaker 1: as any since that two thousand and six class. Let 238 00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:20,760 Speaker 1: me ask you this about the SEC guys, the SEC 239 00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:22,599 Speaker 1: and Baylor. You can throw this in there too, with 240 00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:26,640 Speaker 1: Petrie playing against that level of competition. Look, we all 241 00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:29,360 Speaker 1: know you can draft a guy from an FCS school 242 00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:31,480 Speaker 1: and it could work out great. You know you could. 243 00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:35,200 Speaker 1: You could draft Jerry Rice from Mississippi Valley State. You 244 00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:37,640 Speaker 1: could draft Steve mcdairn from Alcorn State. You could do 245 00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:41,360 Speaker 1: all that and it could work. But by and large 246 00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:44,199 Speaker 1: in a sheer number. Since you get all these guys 247 00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:47,400 Speaker 1: in the SEC, those aren't NFL players, but they're playing 248 00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:51,040 Speaker 1: against a lot of future NFL players. It's triple a NFL, right, 249 00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:55,600 Speaker 1: It's a really great level. So coming to this level. Look, 250 00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:57,760 Speaker 1: they're gonna be rookies. I get it, they don't know anything. 251 00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:00,440 Speaker 1: It's the league. It's a huge step forward. But at 252 00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:03,800 Speaker 1: least they've been in big buildings, big games, playing big people. 253 00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:07,480 Speaker 1: They've seen a ton of stuff on a football field 254 00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:10,280 Speaker 1: and at a football practice facility already, And I think 255 00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:12,480 Speaker 1: that's a big boost for this class by and large. 256 00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:15,440 Speaker 1: I don't think there's any question the margin of error 257 00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:17,480 Speaker 1: for an FCS player. I mean you think of Titus 258 00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:21,040 Speaker 1: coming in. I mean he had played Auburn, so he 259 00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:23,760 Speaker 1: had a frame of reference, he had gone to the 260 00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:27,560 Speaker 1: Senior Bowl. But when your whole life is you know, 261 00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:33,480 Speaker 1: at LSU Alabama you are you are conducting your college 262 00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:37,479 Speaker 1: business like you're a pro. I mean Nick Saban obviously 263 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:42,360 Speaker 1: with less miles at Argeron did LSU now Brian Kelly, 264 00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:46,920 Speaker 1: it's treated as a professional program. I think you said 265 00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:50,480 Speaker 1: the best triple A football. Your margin of error is 266 00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:53,480 Speaker 1: a little bit higher than it is. Look, Darius Leonard 267 00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:58,600 Speaker 1: worked out Titus. Howard got his fifth year option option. 268 00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:01,800 Speaker 1: He got the thumbs up on there are gonna be 269 00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:05,640 Speaker 1: FCS players, They're gonna be Nonpower five players. When he 270 00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:08,200 Speaker 1: and look Just the flip side of that is you're 271 00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:11,679 Speaker 1: gonna see SEC players flame out. JaMarcus Russell never worked, 272 00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:15,120 Speaker 1: so it's gonna happen. But by and large, when you 273 00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:20,000 Speaker 1: draft those players, they know the pressure they've been in. 274 00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:23,400 Speaker 1: Jorden Hair one hundred thousand people and you got to 275 00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:26,320 Speaker 1: score with two minutes left, then you got to score 276 00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:29,040 Speaker 1: in overtime to win. John Mets She's done that. You've 277 00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:31,400 Speaker 1: got to do those things you got You're playing LSU 278 00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:34,080 Speaker 1: at home in twenty nineteen and you're trying to stay 279 00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:37,240 Speaker 1: in that game and you gotta stop Alabama. Derek Stingley 280 00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:40,280 Speaker 1: has done that. There are so many different things that 281 00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:42,240 Speaker 1: those guys in the SEC get the opportunity to do. 282 00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:45,560 Speaker 1: So when they walk into an NFL stadium, they're like, 283 00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:48,880 Speaker 1: all right, let's go. It's it's honest, say old hat, 284 00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:50,880 Speaker 1: but it is. It's old hat. They've done that, they've 285 00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:53,240 Speaker 1: been there, done that. Now how do they adapt to 286 00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:56,560 Speaker 1: speed the particular guy they're facing. I thought it was 287 00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:59,440 Speaker 1: interesting in the draft video for Derek Stingley, I Lovey 288 00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:04,440 Speaker 1: Smith said, how would you like to travel? Not like Denver, Miami, 289 00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:07,960 Speaker 1: Las Vegas, Amsterdam? How would you like to be on 290 00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:10,640 Speaker 1: the number one wide receiver and travel with him all day. 291 00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:14,480 Speaker 1: And Stingley never back down. He's like, whatever I gotta 292 00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:18,280 Speaker 1: do basically, and you love having that now. I love 293 00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:21,480 Speaker 1: he's not done that before, I mean for the most part. 294 00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:23,880 Speaker 1: So it'll be a little bit interesting and drafting a 295 00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:28,560 Speaker 1: guy like Stingley and drafting guys like Petrie, are you 296 00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:31,480 Speaker 1: going to be doing some things differently on defense because 297 00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:34,080 Speaker 1: you have a couple of different weapons, and so that's 298 00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:36,760 Speaker 1: going to be interesting to me. But as it pertains 299 00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:39,720 Speaker 1: to the SEC guys, I mean, I don't want to 300 00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:43,680 Speaker 1: say you can't go wrong, but we've had success. I mean, 301 00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:45,560 Speaker 1: you think about the guys that have come here from 302 00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:49,200 Speaker 1: the SEC beds, some really darn good football players. Some 303 00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:51,600 Speaker 1: of them have been great and then went on. But 304 00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:56,480 Speaker 1: he's that cutting hanm Vanderbilt, you know, Jamiko Ryan's Alabama 305 00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:58,680 Speaker 1: had a lot of successful guys that have come from 306 00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:02,120 Speaker 1: the SEC. So no surprise at that point, and now 307 00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:06,920 Speaker 1: we hope that there's going to be more coming forward 308 00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:11,360 Speaker 1: from this particular draft class. One of them I mentioned 309 00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:13,840 Speaker 1: one of the thing mark that goes with this draft class, 310 00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:17,520 Speaker 1: and that is the decision on Titus Howard to pick 311 00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:22,760 Speaker 1: up his fifty year option. And I know that when 312 00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:25,360 Speaker 1: we write something and we put on the website, we 313 00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:28,440 Speaker 1: just put ol. But there's been so much talk about Titus. 314 00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:31,920 Speaker 1: Where's Tyus gonna go? He started at left guard against 315 00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:35,320 Speaker 1: the Saints to twenty nineteen or the Jaguars in twenty nineteen, 316 00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:37,600 Speaker 1: then he moved out the right tackle, stayed at right 317 00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:40,960 Speaker 1: tackle for two years, then he moved into guard last year. 318 00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:43,040 Speaker 1: Then he bumped out the left tackle for a little bit, 319 00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:45,840 Speaker 1: then he went back into guard. He's moved all over 320 00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:48,960 Speaker 1: the place. But with the decision to draft Kenyan Green 321 00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:52,720 Speaker 1: and now titus is option being picked up. Do you 322 00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:55,080 Speaker 1: think it's as simple as Titus is the right tackle 323 00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:57,680 Speaker 1: Kenny and Green is a left guard and away we go. 324 00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:01,000 Speaker 1: Or do you think maybe there's the thought Titus still 325 00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:04,040 Speaker 1: goes into guard. What are your thoughts about that that 326 00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:06,520 Speaker 1: duo on how it fits? Listen? You know me in 327 00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:09,399 Speaker 1: evaluating offensive line, Hey, did we get the yard we 328 00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:12,679 Speaker 1: needed about fourth to one? Okay? Good? Oh we didn't bad, 329 00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:18,639 Speaker 1: bad play? But what I gotta say this, Johnny, who's 330 00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:21,200 Speaker 1: the other guard? I'm not ready to say this because 331 00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:22,800 Speaker 1: you never know what they're thinking. And they were not 332 00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:26,160 Speaker 1: committal about it this offseason already. So who's the other guard? 333 00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:30,600 Speaker 1: Is it aj Can? Is it Titus? Is it somebody 334 00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:34,080 Speaker 1: else that we're not thinking of right now? Because would 335 00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:36,399 Speaker 1: it be crazy to have Titus still play guard and 336 00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:41,760 Speaker 1: Charlie had playing right tackle. I don't know yet that 337 00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:45,240 Speaker 1: gonna happen. I mean, you never know what they're thinking. 338 00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:48,960 Speaker 1: You could win games like that. Maybe. Look, I would 339 00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:51,720 Speaker 1: think Titus is a tackle. I would think that if 340 00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:54,280 Speaker 1: you're gonna get your five best on the field, though, 341 00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:57,040 Speaker 1: does that change things? Is Can one of the best? 342 00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:58,920 Speaker 1: I don't know if they're ready to say that or not, 343 00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:02,280 Speaker 1: but maybe he is. Maybe there's somebody we're not thinking of, 344 00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:04,639 Speaker 1: maybe sharping. All of a sudden, the light goes on 345 00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:07,879 Speaker 1: and things are different, And who knows? Because I love that, Johnny, 346 00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,879 Speaker 1: I love It's the Bryce McCain factor, and I'll always 347 00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:15,119 Speaker 1: bring this good. One year they drafted dB after dB 348 00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:17,560 Speaker 1: because Bryce McCain. At the end of twenty well, they 349 00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:20,399 Speaker 1: got Jonathan Joseph and Daniel Manning and free agency and 350 00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:23,680 Speaker 1: they drafted Brandon Harris and Rock Carmichael. Boy, these names 351 00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:25,399 Speaker 1: are just coming back to me right. That was twenty 352 00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:28,400 Speaker 1: eleven correct, and Bryce McCain was a twenty ten draft 353 00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:30,840 Speaker 1: choice twenty ten or two No. Two thousand and nine, 354 00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:33,280 Speaker 1: and by the end of twenty ten he was being 355 00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:36,160 Speaker 1: deactivated late in the season and you thought, well, he's 356 00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:37,840 Speaker 1: not gonna make it because look they just got all 357 00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:40,240 Speaker 1: these new guys and forget it, he's done, right, But 358 00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:44,800 Speaker 1: Bryce McCain upped his game. He it's possible. People can 359 00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:47,359 Speaker 1: do it. It happens in life, it happens in this league. 360 00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:49,679 Speaker 1: People can up their game. He upped his game and 361 00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:52,040 Speaker 1: he stayed in the league at decade. Not always here, 362 00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:54,200 Speaker 1: but good for him because a lot of people thought 363 00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:56,320 Speaker 1: he might be done at that point, and he actually 364 00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:59,120 Speaker 1: contributed played a lot for the Texans that year. And 365 00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:02,879 Speaker 1: maybe there's a sharping effect there, Bryce McKay effect on sharping. 366 00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:04,880 Speaker 1: I don't know, but I'm just throwing stuff out there 367 00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:08,080 Speaker 1: because I believe in the possibility of good things happening. 368 00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:09,879 Speaker 1: You never know what's going to happen with these guys. 369 00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:13,320 Speaker 1: You know, Max had a pretty solid last four or 370 00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:18,680 Speaker 1: five games, and almost his improvement coincided with Davis Mills 371 00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:19,960 Speaker 1: getting back in the line up. But I mean, I 372 00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:22,440 Speaker 1: think It's pure coincidence at that point, but I feel 373 00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:25,200 Speaker 1: like Max started to get a little bit more confidence back. 374 00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:27,080 Speaker 1: That was the confidence that we saw as a rookie 375 00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:30,480 Speaker 1: that seemingly was not there in his second year in 376 00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:32,240 Speaker 1: twenty twenty took a little while to get there in 377 00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:34,280 Speaker 1: twenty twenty one. And I don't know, maybe it was 378 00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:36,720 Speaker 1: feeding off of Davis and Davis kind of going back 379 00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:38,800 Speaker 1: in the huddle and wasn't as if David had a 380 00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:41,600 Speaker 1: kind of Devil may care attitude, But you know, maybe 381 00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:44,520 Speaker 1: Davis's confidence sort of rubbed off on the guys at 382 00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:47,280 Speaker 1: that particular point. But I just look at this this 383 00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:50,520 Speaker 1: offensive line, and I know it's one pick and Kennyan Green, 384 00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:55,760 Speaker 1: but they got things right with Larremy Tunsil, Justin Britt 385 00:19:56,000 --> 00:20:00,560 Speaker 1: signed resigned, Titus's option is picked up for the fifth 386 00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:03,000 Speaker 1: year as he goes into his fourth year, and then 387 00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:05,240 Speaker 1: you draft his young kid out of task a Cedo 388 00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:07,720 Speaker 1: on techat M who is the best who was the 389 00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:10,680 Speaker 1: best guard in the draft. As I saw it, it 390 00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:13,359 Speaker 1: feels like it has the makings of turning that offensive 391 00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:17,399 Speaker 1: line into something that George Warhop and obviously the officer coordinator, 392 00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:20,840 Speaker 1: Pep Hamiltons have wanted to see, and then how did 393 00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:25,199 Speaker 1: the pieces come together? That's actually the nicest problem to have. 394 00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:27,840 Speaker 1: How do you figure out how to put it all together? 395 00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:31,480 Speaker 1: That's awesome. Actually, when was the last time? When was 396 00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:33,760 Speaker 1: the last time they traded down in the first round 397 00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:40,160 Speaker 1: to pick an offensive lineman? Johnny that was that's your guy. Yeah, 398 00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:45,160 Speaker 1: that's the Dwayne Brown. It worked out, It worked out, 399 00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:47,440 Speaker 1: It worked out. It worked out very very well. Now, 400 00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:50,840 Speaker 1: technically they traded down, but did they trade back up 401 00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:54,280 Speaker 1: to did they come back up another something? I don't know. 402 00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:56,240 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna look it up right now. But well, 403 00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:58,560 Speaker 1: they had the eighteenth pick and they traded down and 404 00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:00,840 Speaker 1: the eighteenth pick turned out to be Joe Flacco. At 405 00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:03,760 Speaker 1: the time, they weren't looking quarterback. But you could argue, well, 406 00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:05,639 Speaker 1: maybe you should have just taken Flacco, But come on, 407 00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:08,680 Speaker 1: there you were with Matt shob going into year two. 408 00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:10,400 Speaker 1: You wanted to see what he had to offer, and 409 00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:13,520 Speaker 1: he had to offer a lot. So that worked out too. Look, 410 00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:18,400 Speaker 1: I'll say worked out. Injuries sometimes spoil the party, yes, 411 00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:22,000 Speaker 1: as they did with him in twenty eleven, especially in 412 00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:24,000 Speaker 1: twenty thirteen. We don't have to get into that. But 413 00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:26,600 Speaker 1: I will say that that was a good acquisition for 414 00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:29,679 Speaker 1: them at the time. It was not one that I 415 00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:31,800 Speaker 1: got right, I'll tell you that. But I did get 416 00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:35,960 Speaker 1: fifth rounder ten Quiano hopefully I said that right. I 417 00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:39,159 Speaker 1: got that right. I called that one pick one? Was 418 00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:42,600 Speaker 1: he one seventy? I think it was one seventy. I 419 00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:45,199 Speaker 1: was still not on the air in that shift, and 420 00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:49,520 Speaker 1: I heard you next door, like, you know, you made noises, 421 00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:53,040 Speaker 1: and you know when Johnny makes noises when people are drafted, 422 00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:55,160 Speaker 1: it's usually pretty good. By the way, I want to 423 00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:57,920 Speaker 1: call you out on something. I just have a question. 424 00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:00,880 Speaker 1: Why are you We're on a zoo call right now 425 00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:04,240 Speaker 1: in addition to this radio program, folks, and you are 426 00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:09,320 Speaker 1: wearing a Harvard shirt?

I said, Coach, 463 00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:19,600 Speaker 1: I gotta ask. I said, look, I made a lot 464 00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:21,560 Speaker 1: of decisions when I was a coach about going for 465 00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:25,280 Speaker 1: two or not. I said, I gotta ask.

I 492 00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:46,200 Speaker 1: backseat drive, telling him to slow down on the mead 493 00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:48,919 Speaker 1: streets of Green Bay. I actually had to tell that 494 00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:52,200 Speaker 1: story to somebody. I can't remember who I was talking to, Mark, 495 00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:54,000 Speaker 1: but I was telling the story about how I had 496 00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:56,800 Speaker 1: to get somewhere fast, and I was like, I got 497 00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:58,520 Speaker 1: a vandom here this thing. And they looked at me 498 00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:00,520 Speaker 1: and I was like, let me tell you about Green 499 00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:04,240 Speaker 1: Bay twenty nineteen. I'm now a verb. Yeah, And so 500 00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:09,400 Speaker 1: they completely and totally got it when I told them 501 00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:12,200 Speaker 1: how about how fast we had to go? Okay, Mark, 502 00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:14,520 Speaker 1: we talked about Texans a lot about the draft over 503 00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:17,840 Speaker 1: the weekend, and obviously the first segment, but the AFC 504 00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:23,199 Speaker 1: South feel better worse than Let's take a look at 505 00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:27,800 Speaker 1: Indianapolis Colts. Okay. First pick was Alec Pierce, wide receiver 506 00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:30,679 Speaker 1: at Cincinnati six four two fifteen. Dude could fly, and 507 00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:33,200 Speaker 1: they took a really underrated tight enda Gilani Woods gotta 508 00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:35,840 Speaker 1: tackle and been our raming fire up chips in the 509 00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:38,520 Speaker 1: third round. And then their other third rounder was Nick Cross. 510 00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:45,040 Speaker 1: Everybody else it was all about athletic skill. Mark when 511 00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:47,879 Speaker 1: YO draft until fifty three and they kept trading down 512 00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:51,399 Speaker 1: from forty two two fifty three, I don't know if 513 00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:55,800 Speaker 1: there's any name that stands out, But the Colts have 514 00:26:56,359 --> 00:27:01,080 Speaker 1: signed Matt Ryan, they signed Stefan Gilmore, and they added 515 00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:03,479 Speaker 1: a couple of weapons and wide receiver and tight end 516 00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:09,480 Speaker 1: in this draft. You're feeling differently about the Indianapolis Colts 517 00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:13,920 Speaker 1: after draft begin. I think lost in the Colts saga 518 00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:17,639 Speaker 1: of the last year is how well Carson Wentz was 519 00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:21,320 Speaker 1: playing for them for a stretch. And that's what scares 520 00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:24,600 Speaker 1: me about this team. Can Matt Ryan. He doesn't have 521 00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:27,560 Speaker 1: to duplicate that, Johnny. He just has to hold it 522 00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:33,000 Speaker 1: together in the moments where Wentz didn't no left handed interceptions, 523 00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:36,000 Speaker 1: no cough up a game against the Raiders of the 524 00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:39,760 Speaker 1: Jags late in the season. Don't do that, Matt. Let 525 00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:43,760 Speaker 1: Jonathan run the football and see if you can utilize 526 00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:47,360 Speaker 1: some of these weapons and let it fly. Because the Colts, 527 00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:50,280 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say they should be the favorite, but 528 00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:52,560 Speaker 1: you could argue that they should be the favorite in 529 00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:56,120 Speaker 1: the AFC South, particularly with what's going on in Tennessee 530 00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:58,159 Speaker 1: right now, until they prove that they can get their 531 00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:00,840 Speaker 1: act together with the new court back however they work 532 00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:02,199 Speaker 1: them in. I know we're gonna talk about that in 533 00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:04,560 Speaker 1: a moment. But for me, the Colts, it's all about 534 00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:08,480 Speaker 1: that Matt Ryan acquisition. Thirty seven. To me, Johnny, I 535 00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:11,439 Speaker 1: think we sluffed that off too many times. Thirty seven 536 00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:14,719 Speaker 1: at easy. Tom Brady looking at him, he's all thirty 537 00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:19,000 Speaker 1: seven used to be done right, and it doesn't last forever. 538 00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:21,560 Speaker 1: But he's got the kind of team, the kind of 539 00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:24,800 Speaker 1: assets and weapons that can keep him upright. We'll see 540 00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:27,719 Speaker 1: how it goes, but I think obviously we'll be watching 541 00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:31,280 Speaker 1: them with a microscope every single week. But I don't 542 00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:34,000 Speaker 1: feel great about the Colts from a Texans perspective. They 543 00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:36,120 Speaker 1: still are a scary team, and they might be even 544 00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:40,160 Speaker 1: scarier with a good Matt Ryan playing for them. All right. 545 00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:43,600 Speaker 1: To Tennessee Titans. I decided to go to them next 546 00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:46,760 Speaker 1: because they may take up the rest of the segment. 547 00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:50,000 Speaker 1: To be honest, with everything that has gone on with 548 00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:58,440 Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans, they traded a J. Brown, They drafted 549 00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:03,240 Speaker 1: AJ Brown Part two. They then took a short armed 550 00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:05,360 Speaker 1: corner and Roger McCrary and I don't know if they 551 00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:08,040 Speaker 1: planned to play him outside. And that was one year 552 00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:11,760 Speaker 1: after taking two corners in last year's draft. They took 553 00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:16,000 Speaker 1: a project at right tackle in the third round, and 554 00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:18,960 Speaker 1: then they took the guy that got everybody's attention in 555 00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:21,200 Speaker 1: Malik Willis in the third round. Out to mention A 556 00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:27,760 Speaker 1: Son Haskins at running back, chegokonquo f fullback, tight end 557 00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:30,520 Speaker 1: kind of hybrid from ont of Maryland, and then a 558 00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:34,920 Speaker 1: few other really good athletes. But over the weekend, Mark A. J. Brown, 559 00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:43,160 Speaker 1: Malik Willis in and Ryan Tannehill spoke today and Mark wow, 560 00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:48,080 Speaker 1: wow wow. He was asked about the Sit Santy Bengal 561 00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:51,000 Speaker 1: playoff game and he said, and I quote, it's a 562 00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:54,280 Speaker 1: deep scar. Every time I closed my eyes, I kind 563 00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:56,880 Speaker 1: of rewatched the game. I didn't get up. I didn't 564 00:29:56,920 --> 00:29:59,040 Speaker 1: get a whole lot of sleep for weeks. I was 565 00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:01,400 Speaker 1: in a dark play and it took me a while, 566 00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:03,560 Speaker 1: a lot of work to get out of it. He 567 00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:06,240 Speaker 1: talked about needing therapy, so this is the first time 568 00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:08,880 Speaker 1: that I absolutely needed it to pull me out of 569 00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:13,000 Speaker 1: a dark space. Danny was asked about Malik Willis. The 570 00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:18,320 Speaker 1: first sentence has been a headline everywhere. The second sentence 571 00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:20,640 Speaker 1: and I don't know if it helps his cause at all. 572 00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:23,000 Speaker 1: But he was asked about the Titans drafting Malik Willis 573 00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:26,160 Speaker 1: and he was asked, did you know, and he said no. 574 00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:28,680 Speaker 1: And then he was asked, you're gonna mentor him? He says, 575 00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:31,800 Speaker 1: I don't think it's my job to mentor him, but 576 00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:34,640 Speaker 1: if he learns from me along the way, that's a 577 00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:38,400 Speaker 1: great thing. And then he was asked about the AJ 578 00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:41,640 Speaker 1: Brown trade and he said, and I quote, I was 579 00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:44,760 Speaker 1: shocked when I first found out. I'm like, this isn't real, 580 00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:47,440 Speaker 1: this isn't happening. It's a rumor. And then I talked 581 00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:49,400 Speaker 1: to AJ and found out it was real. I slept 582 00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:51,719 Speaker 1: terrible at night and kept thinking it was just a 583 00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:55,760 Speaker 1: bad dream. But that's where we're at. Mark. I hear 584 00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:58,920 Speaker 1: that from Ryan Tannehill. And I'm not gonna write anybody 585 00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:01,680 Speaker 1: off ever any point, especially a guy like that who 586 00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:08,440 Speaker 1: resurrected his career. But Mark, Wow, Wow, wow, wow wow. 587 00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:11,000 Speaker 1: I don't think it's bad at all. I think it's 588 00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:14,520 Speaker 1: good if my quarterback gets therapy, if my quarterback wants 589 00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:17,200 Speaker 1: to help himself, if my quarterback suffers that much from 590 00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:20,520 Speaker 1: a loss. But here's the thing, I don't think he 591 00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:24,080 Speaker 1: should talk about it. I'm just being honest. Yeah. Look, 592 00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:28,160 Speaker 1: I think there's real life and there's football. Real life trauma, 593 00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:33,960 Speaker 1: terrible situations, tragedy, therapy, help each other. It's different. This 594 00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:37,680 Speaker 1: is football, baby, it's sports. Shut your mouth and do 595 00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:42,040 Speaker 1: your job. Go get therapy on the side. Absolutely, get therapy, 596 00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:44,680 Speaker 1: sports psychology, do whatever you want to do. But I 597 00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:47,840 Speaker 1: think the more you talk about it in public and 598 00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:50,520 Speaker 1: again people are people might be saying to me right now, well, Mark, 599 00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:53,040 Speaker 1: that's it's a bad example. Isn't he inspirational? Little people 600 00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:55,120 Speaker 1: want to get help. Look, I'm just talking about football here, 601 00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:58,280 Speaker 1: the NFL. Baby, He's got to keep it together, Johnny. 602 00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:01,880 Speaker 1: I think that I was really surprised how honest he was, 603 00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:04,200 Speaker 1: and I actually, you know, we enjoy the honesty, and 604 00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:06,719 Speaker 1: here I am slamming him for it. But he's just 605 00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:09,200 Speaker 1: got to buckle up and do his job. He should 606 00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:11,480 Speaker 1: be able to beat Willis out and hold him off 607 00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:15,120 Speaker 1: with a stiff arm all day long. He's an experienced quarterback. 608 00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:18,040 Speaker 1: Rook you're not playing okay. Yeah, we might have a 609 00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:21,080 Speaker 1: goal line package or whatever for some wildcat. I don't 610 00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:24,480 Speaker 1: think Malique Willis's Lamar Jackson, Deshaun Watson, Josh Allen. He's 611 00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:27,200 Speaker 1: not one of those guys, not yet anyway. Hold him 612 00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:29,680 Speaker 1: off Tannon. Hello, you got all the cards right now, 613 00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:32,680 Speaker 1: go ahead and play your game. They drafted Haskins too, right, 614 00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:36,240 Speaker 1: Is that what you said? They rated Hassan Haskins too. Yep. Yeah, 615 00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:40,520 Speaker 1: They've got Derrick, Henry Haskins, others, they've got weapons. A J. 616 00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:42,680 Speaker 1: Brown loss is big because I think it sends a 617 00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:45,000 Speaker 1: message to the rest of the team. And I'm not 618 00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:48,720 Speaker 1: exactly sure what the message is. But wait a minute. 619 00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:51,520 Speaker 1: They don't want to pay him. They paid Henry, Danny 620 00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:53,960 Speaker 1: Hills getting nice money. They can't pay all three. They 621 00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:57,640 Speaker 1: know that, right, That's why they make that transaction. And 622 00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:01,000 Speaker 1: here you are today. And I think I liked the 623 00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:04,040 Speaker 1: strife from a distance. But as you pointed out on 624 00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:06,960 Speaker 1: the weekend broadcast, Johnny, they might be a whole lot 625 00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:08,920 Speaker 1: better with Willis if they could really work a man 626 00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:11,880 Speaker 1: and packages or whatnot. And oh my gosh, you know, 627 00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:14,240 Speaker 1: all boats rise with the tide. Henry comes back one 628 00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:17,160 Speaker 1: hundred and plus percent. Whatever it might be, they could 629 00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:19,440 Speaker 1: be a real problem. You know. The first couple of 630 00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:22,920 Speaker 1: things he talked about, you know, not mentoring Willis, like 631 00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:25,480 Speaker 1: it's not his job mentor Willis, and it will getting fairy. 632 00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:28,000 Speaker 1: Those really didn't sort of resonate with me as much 633 00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:31,240 Speaker 1: as the last one did when he was talking about A. J. Brown, 634 00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:35,880 Speaker 1: because it really felt like, and look, Ryan Taniel is 635 00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:38,120 Speaker 1: gonna bounce back. Who's ever out there? Nick Westbrook a 636 00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:40,840 Speaker 1: Kina Okay, finally he's trafted trail on Burke's He's gonna 637 00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:43,880 Speaker 1: find guys that throw. He's good. Westbrook Akena's good. I 638 00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:47,040 Speaker 1: know he's really good. And so that does worry me 639 00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:49,280 Speaker 1: a little bit. But the way that he spoke about 640 00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:51,920 Speaker 1: AJ and I get it they're close, but that was 641 00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:55,200 Speaker 1: his guy, that was his go to guy. How is 642 00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:58,680 Speaker 1: he going to respond? And I know it's a crazy 643 00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:02,760 Speaker 1: example to use, but in twenty twenty, DeAndre Hopkins traded 644 00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:06,720 Speaker 1: to the Arizona Cardinals. Sean Watson just all right, well 645 00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:09,800 Speaker 1: I'm throwing this guy. That's like the Sean game. Deshan's 646 00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:12,320 Speaker 1: game went to a different level. Like he was upset 647 00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:14,960 Speaker 1: about it. I mean all word. I think a lot 648 00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:18,080 Speaker 1: of people still are. But he adapted. He had his 649 00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:20,400 Speaker 1: best he had the best year, and he Texas quarterbacks 650 00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:24,520 Speaker 1: ever had thrown the football adapting to it, and he 651 00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:26,440 Speaker 1: had come out and say whether he missed him or 652 00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:28,320 Speaker 1: now He just was all right, these are my guys. 653 00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:30,719 Speaker 1: This is who I'm throwing too. Fine, I'm good to go. 654 00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:33,120 Speaker 1: Lost full or five games to go, that's fine. I'll 655 00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:36,120 Speaker 1: just keep throwing at chat Hanson. I'll be okay. He 656 00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:39,960 Speaker 1: never gave off or said anything to the fact that, 657 00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:42,640 Speaker 1: oh my gosh, I've lost all these guys. What am 658 00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:44,640 Speaker 1: I gonna do? And that's the way it came off 659 00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:47,439 Speaker 1: listening to Ryan Tannehill and that was, oh my god, 660 00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:50,400 Speaker 1: I lost my bankie. What am I gonna do? And 661 00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:52,040 Speaker 1: I don't know that the new binkie is gonna be 662 00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:56,200 Speaker 1: as good as the old bankie. Hey, So that's the 663 00:34:56,280 --> 00:35:00,200 Speaker 1: one that really got me. Jacksonville drafts Travon Walker. They 664 00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:03,040 Speaker 1: then went and got two linebackers, Devin Lloyd Chad Movement 665 00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:05,960 Speaker 1: that I both loved. They got a center from Kentucky. 666 00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:09,399 Speaker 1: They got the new Brandon Linder to replace the old 667 00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:12,440 Speaker 1: Brandon Linder, except this guy's name is Luke Fortner. They 668 00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:16,239 Speaker 1: also drafted a Hammer running back and Stuke Connor Mark. 669 00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:19,600 Speaker 1: I know that the linebackers that they drafted are really 670 00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:22,160 Speaker 1: really fun, but are you in agreeing with me that 671 00:35:22,239 --> 00:35:24,880 Speaker 1: this really comes down to what Trayvon Walker does for 672 00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:28,799 Speaker 1: the Jaguars. As far as the evaluation of the draft class, yes, 673 00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:31,319 Speaker 1: he's the number one overall pick, and there's so much 674 00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:33,839 Speaker 1: extra scrutiny on that. I mean, if he were number three, 675 00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:36,320 Speaker 1: for instance, he could have a really nice career and 676 00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:38,080 Speaker 1: be like, hey, great third pick of the draft. But 677 00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:40,319 Speaker 1: when you're number one, we all know how that affects you. 678 00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:42,960 Speaker 1: We talked about this with Clowney, right, if Clowney was 679 00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:45,400 Speaker 1: the second or third pick, all right, fine, but the 680 00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:47,719 Speaker 1: number one overall pick, did he really live up to it? 681 00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:50,680 Speaker 1: Same thing with Mario Williams. When you're a non quarterback, 682 00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:53,360 Speaker 1: did you really live up to it? Even though I 683 00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:57,000 Speaker 1: pointed out many times Mario Williams multi pro bowler, lots 684 00:35:57,000 --> 00:36:00,640 Speaker 1: of sacks, Hall of Fame trajectory until he just kind 685 00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:04,200 Speaker 1: of got derailed in Buffalo, yep. And that is such 686 00:36:04,239 --> 00:36:07,400 Speaker 1: a high standard to have to live up to at 687 00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:10,360 Speaker 1: number one, and the second that he doesn't get to 688 00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:15,160 Speaker 1: ten sacks shut it down. I mean, he's gonna take 689 00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:17,360 Speaker 1: so much heat and that's not fair to him because 690 00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:19,719 Speaker 1: everybody's been talking about him being an edge rusher and 691 00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:22,719 Speaker 1: he's not. He has not outside threat it's really not 692 00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:25,560 Speaker 1: fair to him. It's not fair he has to disrupt 693 00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:28,400 Speaker 1: get TFLs or a nice stattu. By the way, Jacqueline 694 00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:30,320 Speaker 1: and running back in the backfield is very effective for 695 00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:33,120 Speaker 1: the defense last I checked, you know, and that's that's nice. 696 00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:36,160 Speaker 1: Second and twelve when you're the defense is very nice, 697 00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:38,600 Speaker 1: thank you very much. Third and twelve even better. But 698 00:36:39,239 --> 00:36:41,759 Speaker 1: you're right about the sacks. Look at Khalil Mack, look 699 00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:44,480 Speaker 1: at even Aaron Donald at their sack totals late the 700 00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:50,040 Speaker 1: regular season. It's not that crazy, right did the either guy? 701 00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:52,640 Speaker 1: Did Aaron donal't even get the double digit sacks last year? 702 00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:55,239 Speaker 1: I don't think he did. He I gotta look that up. 703 00:36:55,239 --> 00:36:58,800 Speaker 1: But there were numerous set There are numerous pass rushing 704 00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:02,840 Speaker 1: badass guys that didn't get to double figures stack sacks 705 00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:05,160 Speaker 1: in the league. And I think that's notable. He got 706 00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:08,120 Speaker 1: to twelve and a half. Yeah, he had twelve and 707 00:37:08,120 --> 00:37:13,200 Speaker 1: a half. I means, Aaron do you had not included playoffs, 708 00:37:13,239 --> 00:37:15,239 Speaker 1: he had twenty and a half and eighteen and then 709 00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:16,919 Speaker 1: he had twelve and a half, thirteen a half, twelve 710 00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:20,400 Speaker 1: and a half. But I mean, every defense is obviously 711 00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:25,520 Speaker 1: designed to stoop that man child six one two eighty four. 712 00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:29,360 Speaker 1: Good guy. That guy just dominates the game. Mark appreciate it, 713 00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:32,520 Speaker 1: Thank you very much, thank you. When we get back, 714 00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:35,440 Speaker 1: we've got a few round the NFL items, including a 715 00:37:35,560 --> 00:37:40,480 Speaker 1: receiver we all know unfortunately coulda sit for the first 716 00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:42,640 Speaker 1: six games at twenty twenty two. We'll talk about that 717 00:37:42,719 --> 00:37:47,480 Speaker 1: and that's some next of Texans All Axis boxis what's 718 00:37:47,560 --> 00:37:49,920 Speaker 1: up everybody? Welcome back into this Tuesday edition of Texans 719 00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:52,160 Speaker 1: All Access. I'm your host, John Harris Football I know, 720 00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:54,680 Speaker 1: a sideline reporter and glad to be back with you 721 00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:58,520 Speaker 1: on Tuesday night. I got the day off yesterday so 722 00:37:58,560 --> 00:38:00,440 Speaker 1: I could as well. You know, as I think I 723 00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:03,640 Speaker 1: said a million times, I was moving and that is 724 00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:07,800 Speaker 1: just good. I was moving part of my home into 725 00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:10,920 Speaker 1: three storage rooms. I was then moving stuff out to 726 00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:14,319 Speaker 1: Los Angeles right in the process of and then I 727 00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:20,240 Speaker 1: was moving into the house. So we were racing the time, 728 00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:22,880 Speaker 1: the entire time, and so we just had stuff all 729 00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:25,000 Speaker 1: over the place. So yesterday it was a good day 730 00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:28,359 Speaker 1: to just try and move things around, try and get 731 00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:30,919 Speaker 1: settled in a new place. And uh, you know where 732 00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:33,799 Speaker 1: I am, come visit. We'll have old water or two 733 00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:36,359 Speaker 1: to share. I didn't get a chance to hear a 734 00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:39,239 Speaker 1: lot of what was going on from my guys in 735 00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:41,920 Speaker 1: Sports Radio six Tanks. I wasn't driving as much yesterday 736 00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:44,799 Speaker 1: as I typically am, but the little bits that I 737 00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:47,520 Speaker 1: was able to gather just felt like some good vibes, 738 00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:51,640 Speaker 1: you know, coming from the guys there and national writers. 739 00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:54,799 Speaker 1: You know, Jim Trotter was over at NRG Stadium over 740 00:38:54,840 --> 00:38:57,880 Speaker 1: the weekend, kind of hang with nickes Sario and which 741 00:38:58,280 --> 00:39:01,360 Speaker 1: with Lovey Smith. So felt like there were good vibes. 742 00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:05,439 Speaker 1: PFF said, you know, the Texans secondary was the most 743 00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:08,560 Speaker 1: improved after the draft, and that was after drafting Derk 744 00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:11,200 Speaker 1: Stingley Junior and Jaylen Petrie. And hopefully those two are 745 00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:14,080 Speaker 1: gonna be huge pieces in this secondary going forward. That's 746 00:39:14,080 --> 00:39:18,520 Speaker 1: already got Desmond King and Jonathan Owens, Eric Murray, et cetera, 747 00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:22,440 Speaker 1: et cetera. One player it does not have going forward. 748 00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:26,000 Speaker 1: And I don't I can't remember when this news broke. 749 00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:29,400 Speaker 1: I happened to see it, probably right before dinner, so 750 00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:30,759 Speaker 1: I don't know if it was on radio or not. 751 00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:34,600 Speaker 1: But Lonnie Johnson twenty nineteen second round pick traded to 752 00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:38,280 Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chiefs for a twenty twenty four seventh 753 00:39:38,360 --> 00:39:40,960 Speaker 1: round or I wish Lonnie all the luck in the 754 00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:43,799 Speaker 1: world and hope that he finds what he's looking for 755 00:39:44,040 --> 00:39:47,000 Speaker 1: there in Kansas City. Should have an opportunity in Kansas 756 00:39:47,040 --> 00:39:49,840 Speaker 1: City playing corner. I would imagine the Chiefs wanted to 757 00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:55,160 Speaker 1: make the trade, questioning whether he would get through waivers six, one, two, twelve, 758 00:39:55,680 --> 00:39:58,800 Speaker 1: played corner, then played safety, where I think he should 759 00:39:58,960 --> 00:40:02,200 Speaker 1: have played, but trying to get that turnaround in a 760 00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:05,600 Speaker 1: short amount of time just didn't work. And so I 761 00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:07,080 Speaker 1: don't know if it was he who asked to go 762 00:40:07,080 --> 00:40:08,960 Speaker 1: back to the corner, if the staff last year asked 763 00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:10,480 Speaker 1: him to go back to the corner. Either way, he 764 00:40:10,520 --> 00:40:13,120 Speaker 1: went back to the the corner, did some decent things for 765 00:40:13,160 --> 00:40:16,200 Speaker 1: the rest of the year. But when Derek Stingley was drafted, 766 00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:22,240 Speaker 1: he was disappointed, to say the least, and apparently asked 767 00:40:22,280 --> 00:40:25,680 Speaker 1: for his release and the Texas or asked to be 768 00:40:25,719 --> 00:40:27,879 Speaker 1: traded or asked for his release, whichever one came first 769 00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:30,040 Speaker 1: when the trade came first. And he is a member 770 00:40:30,080 --> 00:40:36,399 Speaker 1: of the Kansas City Chiefs. DeAndre Hopkins, we all know him, 771 00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:39,160 Speaker 1: love him. It's one of my favorites. Spend it for 772 00:40:39,239 --> 00:40:46,920 Speaker 1: six games for a substance, a substance abuse, illegal substances, 773 00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:49,759 Speaker 1: whatever you want to call it. Six games. There's some 774 00:40:49,840 --> 00:40:52,799 Speaker 1: rumors out there about what it was. And I've said 775 00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:56,680 Speaker 1: this numerous times. I mean, what are you gonna do. 776 00:40:56,960 --> 00:40:59,200 Speaker 1: Guys get injured, they take certain things to try and 777 00:40:59,239 --> 00:41:03,880 Speaker 1: get back. Some guys try and you know, Julian Edelman Took, 778 00:41:03,960 --> 00:41:06,240 Speaker 1: I don't know, God knows what, but he was suspended 779 00:41:06,280 --> 00:41:09,759 Speaker 1: for four games to start the twenty eighteen season ended 780 00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:12,319 Speaker 1: up being a Super Bowl MVP. Hop of me back 781 00:41:12,360 --> 00:41:15,600 Speaker 1: after six games. I don't know. It's not changing my 782 00:41:15,719 --> 00:41:19,680 Speaker 1: opinion of it. But we'll say Hollywood Brown being traded 783 00:41:19,760 --> 00:41:24,200 Speaker 1: four there is at least a little bit of rhyme 784 00:41:24,280 --> 00:41:26,040 Speaker 1: or reason too it. If you went man, that's kind 785 00:41:26,040 --> 00:41:28,759 Speaker 1: of odd. Oh yeah, he's with Kyler. Well, obviously they 786 00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:31,040 Speaker 1: gotta have some threats. You know, those first six games 787 00:41:31,080 --> 00:41:35,120 Speaker 1: that Hop's gonna miss. But when Hop comes back, Hollywood Brown, Hop, 788 00:41:35,560 --> 00:41:38,600 Speaker 1: Ron Dale, Moore, Aj Green, I think the Cardinals are 789 00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:40,640 Speaker 1: gonna be fine. I still go back to the point 790 00:41:40,640 --> 00:41:43,279 Speaker 1: of how are they going to protect Kyler Murray. I 791 00:41:43,440 --> 00:41:46,800 Speaker 1: still don't know that the offensive line is worth it 792 00:41:46,920 --> 00:41:50,799 Speaker 1: darn and that's gonna protect Kyler Murray. So until they 793 00:41:50,920 --> 00:41:53,680 Speaker 1: fixed that, Kyler is gonna be running for his life 794 00:41:53,680 --> 00:41:55,799 Speaker 1: as he was against us. And I mean, I know 795 00:41:55,840 --> 00:41:58,440 Speaker 1: they beat us with thirty one to five or something 796 00:41:58,520 --> 00:42:03,160 Speaker 1: like that, but our guys made his life really difficult. 797 00:42:03,680 --> 00:42:07,440 Speaker 1: They picked two guards and they might start. Listen to 798 00:42:07,520 --> 00:42:10,960 Speaker 1: Smith from Virginia Tech and Marquise Hayes they got in 799 00:42:10,960 --> 00:42:14,440 Speaker 1: the seventh. Those guys might end up starting with Arizona. 800 00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:17,600 Speaker 1: It shows you how bad it is. But we'll see 801 00:42:17,600 --> 00:42:20,560 Speaker 1: if they can protect. But DeAndre Hopkins going to miss 802 00:42:21,080 --> 00:42:23,720 Speaker 1: the first six games of the twenty twenty two season. 803 00:42:23,719 --> 00:42:25,960 Speaker 1: A big thanks to Mark, to the guys back in 804 00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:27,880 Speaker 1: studio sports Ray of six tenth.
