Speaker 1: Welcome to everybody to a tgi F edition of Texans
Speaker 1: All Access. I am your host, John Harris Football and
Speaker 1: a sideline reporter, joined by the voice of the Texans,
Speaker 1: Mark Vannimer. Mark, good afternoon. Or you're ready to talk quarterbacks? Johnny?
Speaker 1: I'm ready to talk quarterbacks always. We always love talking quarterbacks,
Speaker 1: especially on my new microphone. Which does it sound deeper?
Speaker 1: Do I sound Luke? I am your fun I need
Speaker 1: the plans to the Death Star. Does this mic sound deeper?
Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe it does. It sounds pretty good.
Speaker 1: I mean in my ears it does, and then one
Speaker 1: of my ears I'm deaf, so it sounds good to me. Okay, good,
Speaker 1: I like it. Yeah. Somebody that wasn't deaf was Quinn Depps.
Speaker 1: We'll have him later on with the where are they now? Well? Mark,
Speaker 1: I saw us today and I immediately circled it. And
Speaker 1: there was a tweet those put out by a guy
Speaker 1: that I follow. The name's Charles McDonald. He covers the NFL.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure he's covered for now. He's bounced around
Speaker 1: and I think it was him. Maybe somebody else that
Speaker 1: tweeted something to extend I don't pay attention to Mad Ratings.
Speaker 1: But this one got me and he was talking about
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks. Oh boy, and I had to one thousand
Speaker 1: percent agree with him. Agree. So I threw this out
Speaker 1: to our guys that Aaron here, Tyler Sattar, Jared huff
Speaker 1: Video Jr. Video, guys that do a great job. And
Speaker 1: I just threw it out there, and I said to him,
Speaker 1: who's the number one quarterback in the league? So I'll
Speaker 1: tell you the same question, who's the number one quarterback
Speaker 1: in the league? Just note thinking about it, just you
Speaker 1: got three seconds to answer, who's as quarterback in the league?
Speaker 1: Tom Brady? Really? Have you heard of him? I had good,
Speaker 1: He's pretty good. You think he's the number one quarterback asolutely?
Speaker 1: Because listen, who else is going to take that team
Speaker 1: even as far as he did last year? Right? And
Speaker 1: last year they roared back in that game against the Rams,
Speaker 1: the playoff loss, could have, would have should have. They
Speaker 1: didn't do it. The year before they win the Super Bowl?
Speaker 1: Who else can do that? I'm sorry you drop Aaron
Speaker 1: Rodgers in the middle of a West coast of Florida
Speaker 1: with that squad in twenty twenty. I don't believe they're
Speaker 1: winning the Super Bowl, Johnny, Okay, you've brought up a
Speaker 1: great there are other factors then, Oh, this guy's better
Speaker 1: mobility or he's got a stronger arm or whatever. There
Speaker 1: are other factors to playing the position than that, and
Speaker 1: I have multiple examples. Go ahead. I can't believe that
Speaker 1: you actually have said Tom Brady because you must work
Speaker 1: for Madden. Now. I don't have too much of an
Speaker 1: issue of Tom Brady actually being the number one Rady quarterback. Okay,
Speaker 1: as he is his ratings and ninety seven I find
Speaker 1: that awful little bit considering nearly every other position head
Speaker 1: of ninety nine at that particular position. But Tom Brady
Speaker 1: number one, number two was or is Aaron Rodgers, Aaron
Speaker 1: Rodgers ninety six. Number three, it's either Mahomes or Josh Allen.
Speaker 1: I'll say Mahomes. It's Mahomes, Okay, ninety five. I didn't
Speaker 1: know this. I only know the second year quarterbacks because
Speaker 1: I heard that debate earlier. Yeah, number four, And this
Speaker 1: is where I have a little bit of an issue,
Speaker 1: well not a little bit of issue issue. It's Josh Allen.
Speaker 1: It's not so much that it's Josh Allen. I do
Speaker 1: think it's pretty clear across the board. The top four
Speaker 1: quarterbacks in the NFL, however you want to slice them,
Speaker 1: are Brady Rogers, Alan Mahomes, the four quarterbacks that played
Speaker 1: in the match golf. Those are the four best, and
Speaker 1: depending on where your team is in its development, you
Speaker 1: could take any one of those four quarterbacks. If you're,
Speaker 1: you know, a younger team, maybe you want Josh Allen,
Speaker 1: you want to have him for an extended period of time,
Speaker 1: Maybe Patrick Mahomes at that point. If you're a team
Speaker 1: running a precipice like the Colts, give the Colts Tom
Speaker 1: Brady and see what happens, right, So you could pick
Speaker 1: any one of those four. I think what I had
Speaker 1: an issue with are the ratings those four quarterbacks. There's
Speaker 1: no there's no team in the league that but turn
Speaker 1: any one of those four away, other than the teams
Speaker 1: that actually have those four players. Tom Brady is in
Speaker 1: ninety seven, Aaron Rodgers ninety six, Patrick Mahomes and ninety
Speaker 1: five Josh Allen ninety two. At ninety two, you're talking
Speaker 1: about the ninth or tenth receiver in the league. Josh
Speaker 1: Allen's a ninety two. So do they grade on a
Speaker 1: curve based on every position group apparently not. Apparently not.
Speaker 1: So they're saying Josh Allen right at about the top
Speaker 1: twenty five, maybe maybe worse, maybe top thirty to thirty
Speaker 1: five players in the league. And I can't go there.
Speaker 1: If anything, you should inflate the value of the quarterbacks
Speaker 1: like all the other ranging systems do, thank you. Yeah, exactly,
Speaker 1: And that's why I have That's where I have an
Speaker 1: issue with this, Josh Allen being ninety two. Like I said,
Speaker 1: you can mix those four up in any way that
Speaker 1: you possibly could want. Finn rock On have at it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but I think I would probably at this point, if
Speaker 1: I've got to win one game tomorrow, I've still probably
Speaker 1: taken Rogers. I think Brady would be fourth for me
Speaker 1: at this point, even though I love Tom Brady. I
Speaker 1: just think that Mahomes and Allen to a different level,
Speaker 1: and you know how I feel about quarterbacks that can
Speaker 1: move a little bit. Fifth on the list was Joe
Speaker 1: Burrow with a ninety. Now I know for a fact
Speaker 1: the receiver A ninety didn't even get you to the the top.
Speaker 1: They did get you at number ten. Amari Cooper was
Speaker 1: in ninety, Joe Burrows in ninety, justin Herbert's an eight eight,
Speaker 1: one step behind Dak Prescott in eighty nine, Russell Wilson
Speaker 1: eighty seven, same with Lamar Jackson, and Matthew Stafford rounds
Speaker 1: it out at eighty five. I don't know who does
Speaker 1: these ratings. I really don't. I have no idea who's
Speaker 1: doing these ratings, but I don't know. I probably would
Speaker 1: come up with a similar ten, but I don't know
Speaker 1: that I could put them a in this order and
Speaker 1: be with those particular rankings. Well, whoever does these ratings
Speaker 1: is doing a terrific job at getting people to talk
Speaker 1: about them on the radio, yes, and getting people to
Speaker 1: complain about them. Social media was going nuts today with
Speaker 1: the second year quarterback ratings in Houston. We'll get to
Speaker 1: that in a moment, But hang on a second. I
Speaker 1: didn't catch this. Justin Herbert is behind Dak Prescott. Yes,
Speaker 1: in what universe? Right do we do this? I have
Speaker 1: no idea, And not to take anything away from Dak.
Speaker 1: I like Dak Prescott. Yeah, come on, Justin Herbert behind
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott. Kiss. Let's do a little draft here, Let's
Speaker 1: do a little win one game next week here? In
Speaker 1: any which way you want to debate this Herbert's coming
Speaker 1: in ahead of Prescott. Allen has rated way too low.
Speaker 1: And what were some of the other ones you had
Speaker 1: in there? Joe Burrows in a ninety I mean you
Speaker 1: can make your case that Josh, that Josh Allen Joe
Speaker 1: Burrow are both ninety five plus comparatively to one of
Speaker 1: the other rankings that we've seen. And maybe it's well,
Speaker 1: he's already done it for a couple of years. I
Speaker 1: don't know Josh Allen's going in year five. It's crazy
Speaker 1: as that sounds into year five. Is it a lifetime
Speaker 1: Achievement Award? Is that why Brady is the number one quarterback?
Speaker 1: I don't think so. I don't think it's quite that,
Speaker 1: but I just don't get it. I mean, Matt staffords
Speaker 1: an eighty five, eighty five they gave to Shawn eighty four,
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray and eighty also, I'm sorry, Kyler Murray is
Speaker 1: also eighty four, so they got those two on the
Speaker 1: same line. Derek Carr and Matt Ryan are the same
Speaker 1: at eighty three. Matt Ryan's eighty one, Kirk Cousins eighty
Speaker 1: and then we can get to the second year quarterbacks.
Speaker 1: Mac Jones at seventy eight. He is the my matth
Speaker 1: is correct to see the highest rated twenty twenty one quarterback.
Speaker 1: He is, Yes, he is, he is. He is at
Speaker 1: seventy eight and Davis Mills came in at seventy one.
Speaker 1: He is the lowest ranked of the second year quarterbacks.
Speaker 1: Three year disagree, Well, obviously I disagree with that. You
Speaker 1: knew I was gonna go nuts about that. That's why
Speaker 1: I just put it on a t FO. You go, yeah,
Speaker 1: they just look at where you were drafted and what's
Speaker 1: the buzz factor of the quarterback? Now Mills has a
Speaker 1: buzz factor that's going up a little bit because I
Speaker 1: see more national people, whether they're pundits who I respect
Speaker 1: the opinion of guys who watch a lot of tape
Speaker 1: or guy who might watch some tape and they're not
Speaker 1: necessarily football people, but they're commentators like the Pete Priscos
Speaker 1: of the world right coming around the Mills. They've been
Speaker 1: watching because they weren't paying that close attention during the
Speaker 1: season unless their team that they cover or whatever they
Speaker 1: happen to be at a game that Mills is playing in.
Speaker 1: But now they're watching Mills saying, you know what, he's
Speaker 1: better than people think. And I think that's what people
Speaker 1: are coming around to, except for the people at Madden
Speaker 1: who have him rated as the lowest second year quarterback
Speaker 1: on the board. How can you put fields ahead of
Speaker 1: him in this game? Right? And if the logic is well,
Speaker 1: all around play all different aspects, because I know they
Speaker 1: rate speed and everything and throwing power and all these
Speaker 1: different things. I get that. I don't know how Brady
Speaker 1: would be number one and all that because I think
Speaker 1: Brady's the number one quarterback because Johnny he elevates the
Speaker 1: play of his team. And that's why open saying you
Speaker 1: put Aaron Rodgers on the twenty twenty Buccaneers. I don't
Speaker 1: think they're winning the super Bowl. I think they're doing well,
Speaker 1: but I don't think they're winning the super Bowl. And
Speaker 1: I'll use the Peyton Manning winning the Super Bowl in
Speaker 1: the twenty fifteen season has evidence here. Peyton Manning not
Speaker 1: what he was. He's on his last legs, the tank
Speaker 1: is almost all the way on e but he finds
Speaker 1: a way to engineer a playoff run and Super Bowl
Speaker 1: victory for Lebron Because I know their defense is going
Speaker 1: nuts that year, so you gotta give them credit for that,
Speaker 1: but Kubiak also able to play call well enough, but
Speaker 1: Manning checking into the right things. But I think he
Speaker 1: elevates the play of the team. I think your defense
Speaker 1: plays better when Brady is your quarterback. I think your
Speaker 1: defense plays better when Peyton Manning as your quarterback. It
Speaker 1: just happens that way. I believe in these things because
Speaker 1: they elevate the whole culture of what's going on between
Speaker 1: the lines, no matter who's out there. Special teams too,
Speaker 1: I think all boats rise with that tide. And Brady
Speaker 1: is the number one quarterback in the league now, Miles
Speaker 1: is the number one quarterback in the second year group. Look,
Speaker 1: he went two and nine as a starter, and I
Speaker 1: think people are looking at that and holding it against him.
Speaker 1: I get it. Quarterback rating as a starter, it's not everything.
Speaker 1: We sometimes over inflate that stat, but it is a
Speaker 1: factor when you're evaluating quarterbacks. However, with Mills, I do
Speaker 1: think you have to look deeply look at the way
Speaker 1: the team was constructed, especially early on. He was thrust
Speaker 1: into action in week two, started in week three, wasn't ready,
Speaker 1: but when he came back, he played better, and I
Speaker 1: think that's what the maddened people should be looking at
Speaker 1: where is he at right now? As we sit going
Speaker 1: into year two. You're projecting on fields. You're definitely projecting
Speaker 1: on Trey Lance if you put him ahead of Mills.
Speaker 1: I don't agree with what they're doing, but hey, they're
Speaker 1: getting us to talk about them and they're publicizing the game.
Speaker 1: So hats off to the Madden folks. You mentioned some
Speaker 1: of the media members that have discussed Mills and it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it hit a couple of nights ago. Wait, what's today, Yeah,
Speaker 1: a couple of nights ago. Pete Prisco. You mentioned Pete Prisco. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he had this to say some twitter. He put this
Speaker 1: a few nights ago. The more I watched Davis Mills
Speaker 1: on tape, the more I like just going back to
Speaker 1: rewatch some stuff before camp start, and I love how
Speaker 1: he plays. The Texans have a steel at quarterback. I
Speaker 1: liked him before the draft, and I like him more now.
Speaker 1: Pete Prisco's not the end all be all when it
Speaker 1: comes to quarterback ratings. In fact, Pete and I we
Speaker 1: were at the combine. You were there at Pete and
Speaker 1: I were talking about which quarterbacks do you like? And
Speaker 1: there were a couple that I liked that he didn't
Speaker 1: and vice versa, and we were probably right on more
Speaker 1: than we were wrong, but not one hundred percent across
Speaker 1: the board. But when you hear a guy like Pete
Speaker 1: who does watch a lot of game tape, he goes
Speaker 1: through game I mean, he watches a lot of games.
Speaker 1: Even as a national NFL writer, he watches everybody. But
Speaker 1: the fact that he kind of gives a little bit
Speaker 1: of a stamp of approval to Davis that I found
Speaker 1: out to be a minor victory in some sense, because
Speaker 1: Pete can be kind of ornery about certain things. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I love him, but he me ornery about certain things out. Yeah,
Speaker 1: But the fact that he came out and said about Davis,
Speaker 1: I like what he's done, given him kind of the
Speaker 1: thumbs up heading into year two. I thought that was
Speaker 1: kind of cool to see that approval, if you will,
Speaker 1: from a guy like Pete who watches a lot of
Speaker 1: quarterbacks throughout the league. I like Pete And for those
Speaker 1: who don't know, he's North Florida based yea when I
Speaker 1: was there, does not hand out compliments too easily, including
Speaker 1: anything to do with the Jaguars other than trying to
Speaker 1: get Tony Basselli and succeeding into the Hall of Fame
Speaker 1: just a part of it. Yeah, but that's what Pete does.
Speaker 1: He is a critic. He rips everybody. For him to
Speaker 1: say that about Mills, that the Texans have a steel
Speaker 1: at quarterback is strong again, not that he's the ultimate authority,
Speaker 1: because the ultimate authority is winning, right, the ultimate authority
Speaker 1: is winning, is performing well between the lines, and we're
Speaker 1: all gonna get to see it together starting September eleventh. Okay, wait, STU,
Speaker 1: fun game stut Okay, Quarterback Edition kind of based on
Speaker 1: the Madden ratings like this. Okay, here's the overall game.
Speaker 1: You gotta win one game. Okay, how much time do
Speaker 1: you have to practice? You have to win one game
Speaker 1: with the Philadelphia Eagles talent, all right, So you've got
Speaker 1: pretty eas receiver corps. Right, you got a j Brown
Speaker 1: out there now with Sith you know, Miles Sanders in
Speaker 1: the backfield. Offensive line is Jason Kelsey coming back. It's
Speaker 1: a pretty good unit. Defensively, you've built it pretty well.
Speaker 1: On the other side, I think I don't. I would
Speaker 1: say that the Eagles are kind of the poor Man's Colts,
Speaker 1: do you think? So it's kind of the way I
Speaker 1: look at him, Sirianni's coaching them. I mean, they're kind
Speaker 1: of the poor man's colts. They're not quite at that level,
Speaker 1: but they're kind of built similarly. So here we go.
Speaker 1: You gotta pick. So you're getting the Eagles talent, right,
Speaker 1: take Jalen Hurts out. Sorry, Jalen, you're from Houston. We'd
Speaker 1: love you or gonna take you out for just the
Speaker 1: time being. And you have to win one game with
Speaker 1: the Philadelphi Eagles talent. And I give you Brady or Rodgers.
Speaker 1: How much time do I have to practice? I'll give
Speaker 1: you two weeks like super Bowl, super Bowl time, Brady, Okay,
Speaker 1: Mahomes or Alan? Oh, this is a tough one. I
Speaker 1: know it's a good one. I'll go Alan. I'm leaning
Speaker 1: more and more towards Josh Allen the more the more
Speaker 1: I think about the bill. Here's my thinking. I only
Speaker 1: have two weeks to get ready. I have faith in
Speaker 1: Brady putting together some sort of great game plan and
Speaker 1: executing it well enough. You know, Rogers, Look, you could
Speaker 1: do a lot worse than Rogers in that situation. But
Speaker 1: with Alan or Mahomes, I kind of want Alan to
Speaker 1: run the show because he can make more plays with
Speaker 1: his legs. I know Mahomes makes a lot of plays
Speaker 1: with the legs, In fact, a lot more than people realize.
Speaker 1: Mahomes will go on the run and get yard to
Speaker 1: get key first downs. Might not be spectacular, like oh
Speaker 1: my gosh, fifty yards, but twelve yards? Whoop? Line them
Speaker 1: up again, baby, I still got the ball. But Josh
Speaker 1: Allen can kill you with his legs. And in short order,
Speaker 1: I think I would pick Josh Allen. Josh Allen have
Speaker 1: Philly offense? Who man? Okay, Joe Burrow or Dak Prescott
Speaker 1: filled that the Eagles talent gott to win one game,
Speaker 1: either Joe Burrow or Dak Prescott. Wait, Brandon Brooks retired,
Speaker 1: right did he not? How's that old line gonna do? Okay?
Speaker 1: Burrow got to the Super Bowl with that Bengals old
Speaker 1: line and got sacked up bazillion times and still made
Speaker 1: it to the big Game. I liked Joe Burrow over
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott. And look, we talk about Dak. We actually,
Speaker 1: even though he's a cowboy, we kind of like Dad.
Speaker 1: I like that guy. I know you meant him at
Speaker 1: the Senior Bowl. We've told that story a lot at
Speaker 1: the Hurricane Harvey refuge. That was the star to us.
Speaker 1: They put us up for a few days. I'm not
Speaker 1: saying Dak Prescott was serving ice cream or anything, but
Speaker 1: you know, we saw him around the facility. You sort
Speaker 1: of felt like, ma, are you getting a little flavor
Speaker 1: of Dallas here? And by the way, I love those
Speaker 1: blue and silver M and m's they had in the
Speaker 1: dining area there. Those are nice in the press box too,
Speaker 1: don't they. Oh man, those are the whole They had
Speaker 1: him in that dining room, and I thought this is
Speaker 1: good because we don't get the fro yo anymore in
Speaker 1: the cafeteria here. And I was digging those eminem's. Anyway,
Speaker 1: we like Dak, but I'm picking Borrow Joe Okay, Philadelphiagles talent,
Speaker 1: A J. Brown, Vante Smith, Miles Sanders, very talented, Dallas
Speaker 1: Goddard tight end. And you have to win one game
Speaker 1: with either Justin Herbert or Russell Wilson. Well you might
Speaker 1: think I'm going Herbert here, but I'm going Russell Wilson.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with the crafty veteran who can still
Speaker 1: make plays with his legs and I think elevates the
Speaker 1: talent around him. I think the Seahawks have been talent
Speaker 1: deprived and he's gotten that team into the playoffs when
Speaker 1: they had no business getting into the playoffs. I know
Speaker 1: they didn't do it this past season, but we saw
Speaker 1: him here at NRG Stadium, and I still thought enough
Speaker 1: of Russell Wilson as a quarterback. Now with the Broncos,
Speaker 1: and we've talked about this team, they won what seven
Speaker 1: games last year? Russell Wilson's gonna be interesting with the Broncos.
Speaker 1: This could be a real tough out. That's the Week
Speaker 1: two game. Are we going that? Week two? Week two?
Speaker 1: And the very Week three three back to back to
Speaker 1: roadies in September. Look, the Bears are not a daunting
Speaker 1: team on paper, but Road wrote with this young team, man,
Speaker 1: and you open up against the layup, it's the Cults.
Speaker 1: My gosh, you're only nine and thirty one all time
Speaker 1: against them. Gotta get that one. Gotta get the opener, Johnny,
Speaker 1: I mean, sell my soul for that one. Football. Worst
Speaker 1: case you gotta walk out of the you can't walk
Speaker 1: out of their own three. I mean worst case, you
Speaker 1: can't walk out of their own three. I mean yeah,
Speaker 1: worst case. You have to want to at least one
Speaker 1: of those three wins, and you'd love to be able
Speaker 1: to get one on the road. And the one you want,
Speaker 1: obviously is the Colts. If you're gonna get just one,
Speaker 1: you want the division win. But you gotta get one
Speaker 1: of those, one of those three. But I like having
Speaker 1: Denver in Chicago September September. I don't think people understand.
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously we try with the teams so we
Speaker 1: get it. Back to back Roadie is a lot harder
Speaker 1: than it looks. Oh yeah, it is, specially coming back
Speaker 1: from Denver. It's going against the grain time zone, later
Speaker 1: game in the afternoon, all of it. Look the Texas,
Speaker 1: I'll get into their scheduling week to week later, but
Speaker 1: they're gonna handle that week very um deliberately to get
Speaker 1: them some rest and be ready for the Bears game
Speaker 1: the following Sunday. So who are you taking Russell, Wilson
Speaker 1: or Herbert in that match? I'm taking Herbert. You're taking Herbert.
Speaker 1: I really like Russell, but against Justin Herbert, I'm taking Herbert,
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson, Matthew Stafford. Who are you taking to take
Speaker 1: the Philadelphia Eagles. It's just a team that we picked
Speaker 1: with that offensive talent, solid defense, you go win one
Speaker 1: big game two weeks to prepare. You're taking Lamar or
Speaker 1: you're taking Matthew staffor I'm taking Lamar. Come on, I'm
Speaker 1: running that jail and hurts offense. And it's looking good,
Speaker 1: my friend. I know, look good. Okay, and look Stafford.
Speaker 1: I know we've talked about him a lot. I go
Speaker 1: back and forth with him. He wants super Bowl. Congratulations.
Speaker 1: If Tart hangs onto the ball in the NFC Champion
Speaker 1: OH three is rewritten very different narratives on the West
Speaker 1: Coast with the Rams and the forty nine ers at
Speaker 1: the quarterback position. Well, we'll get to that in a
Speaker 1: little bit. Okay, Okay, you gotta win one game, Deshaan
Speaker 1: or Kyler the Seawan or well, I that's a good one.
Speaker 1: I'm picking to Sean. If I have to win one
Speaker 1: game with that talent over Kyler Murray, for sure, you
Speaker 1: could make it more interesting. You know what makes it
Speaker 1: interesting to Seawan or Lamar Jackson because now you have
Speaker 1: different styles, but they do something similarly, and they can
Speaker 1: both make plays with their legs. Watson's a better thrower,
Speaker 1: but Jackson can win a lot of games, and he
Speaker 1: throws better than you think. I'm going by what Madden,
Speaker 1: so I'm essentially going and you order the Madden put
Speaker 1: That's how I'm giving them to you. Yeah, and Lamar
Speaker 1: DeShawn Lamar would be a very good comparison. But their separation,
Speaker 1: So Deshaun was eleven, Kyler was twelve. So that's why
Speaker 1: I'm asking I'm asking you in in order. What was
Speaker 1: a number for Watson and rating is eighty four, both
Speaker 1: of them, both of them tied for a live right,
Speaker 1: So this is just wrong to have Watson and Murray
Speaker 1: on the same line. Come on, you do watch this
Speaker 1: sport Madden. Even more wrong is the next one. Okay,
Speaker 1: this one's tough, all right? With the Philadelphi Eagles talent
Speaker 1: to win one game, two weeks to prepare, would you
Speaker 1: rather have either Derek Carr or Ryan Tannehill. Oh, I'm
Speaker 1: I know this one. This one to me is Derek
Speaker 1: Derek Carr. But the fact that they both have the
Speaker 1: same rating tied for UH eleven twelve thirteen time for thirteen.
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan have the same rating two he's lower. No,
Speaker 1: there's gonna be an it's gonna be another one. There's
Speaker 1: a theme with those two. I'm taking the next two. Yeah,
Speaker 1: take it there, Car. Okay, the next two, you're taken
Speaker 1: either Matt Ryan or Kirk Cousins. With the Philadelphia Eagles.
Speaker 1: I'll take Ryan. I would too, I'll take I've got
Speaker 1: to win this one game. I'm taking Ryan. I know
Speaker 1: it hasn't always been roses for him. I trust him,
Speaker 1: I think more than I trust Kirk Cousins, even though
Speaker 1: Cousins can make some plays. Trust the big word, it's
Speaker 1: the trust fact. I understand. I agree with you who hardly. Okay,
Speaker 1: here's the next matchup, all right, with the Philadelphiagles, two
Speaker 1: weeks to prepare to win one game? Are you taking?
Speaker 1: And these are the next two quarterbacks as they are
Speaker 1: rated by Madden. Are you taking either former Alabama star
Speaker 1: Mac Jones or the recently traded Baker Mayfield. Oh, that's
Speaker 1: a good one. I'll take Mayfield. That's how they have
Speaker 1: him rated. That Jones one a head of Baker Mayfield. Look,
Speaker 1: I think as much as people do talk about Mac
Speaker 1: Jones in the northeastern part of this country, it's gonna
Speaker 1: be an interesting year from Mac Jones. We talk about
Speaker 1: the offensive coordinator or elect their off situation in New England.
Speaker 1: How they're going to handle it. That's not great. And
Speaker 1: we talk about David's mills that year one to year
Speaker 1: two jump great, all right, and all the other second quarterbacks.
Speaker 1: What about Jones here? He's the guy who went to
Speaker 1: the postseason last year and played in that system. And
Speaker 1: you know, they're not messing with that system. They might
Speaker 1: tweak here there, but they're not messing with that system.
Speaker 1: You could get a nice year out of Mac Jones here.
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be interesting between the Patriots and
Speaker 1: the Dolphins. You know, everyone expects the Jets to jump
Speaker 1: up so much, not so fast, say the Patriots. I
Speaker 1: still think it's a Bill's division. But if I'm picking
Speaker 1: between Mac Jones and Baker Mayfield, I'm probably taking Mayfield
Speaker 1: because I just think Mayfield to find a way to
Speaker 1: win the game. I just do the Jordan theory. I
Speaker 1: think Jones I hate to call him system guy. And again,
Speaker 1: I think the narrative on all these second year guys
Speaker 1: is going to change because they're gonna show what they
Speaker 1: are much more in year two, good or bad. And
Speaker 1: maybe Mac Jones is that much better. But right now,
Speaker 1: if you asked me that question. I'm taking the more
Speaker 1: experienced guy in Baker Mayfield with a good shoulder, please
Speaker 1: not an injured Justin Reid collision shoulder. Baker Mayfield has
Speaker 1: the same rating as the next player I'm about to
Speaker 1: ask you about. With the Philadelphiagles talent two weeks prepared
Speaker 1: to win one massive ball game, are you taking either
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo or Jamis Winston Garoppolo. Garoppolo has been there,
Speaker 1: Johnny Garoppolo has been to the postseason, He's advanced. I
Speaker 1: know he's made mistakes, but I trust Again, it's the
Speaker 1: trust factor. Now, Winston might just throw like crazy and
Speaker 1: all of a sudden you got a big lead and
Speaker 1: you're winning the game. But then he might throw you
Speaker 1: back out of that lead too. I don't trust him.
Speaker 1: I don't trust Jamis either, But man, there's something about
Speaker 1: Jamis that he's he's just it's so titillating. You watch
Speaker 1: him and you think, there it is. Our game against
Speaker 1: him in twenty nineteen was a perfect example. Four picks,
Speaker 1: I mean two picks on his first two passes and
Speaker 1: they're down seven nothing or actually ten nothingcase we got
Speaker 1: a fuel goal on the second one, and then all
Speaker 1: of a sudden he started getting hot. Yeah, and then
Speaker 1: we couldn't slow him down at the end of the
Speaker 1: game when he needed to get hot again, we picked
Speaker 1: him off twice. Nobody's saying he's not talented, maddening. I
Speaker 1: trust Garoppolo more than Jamis Winston in a half to
Speaker 1: win it situation. Okay, so let's go same question. I'll
Speaker 1: mix a couple of these up now. All right, let's
Speaker 1: take the Baker Mayfield Jimmy Garoppolo one Eagles similar talent
Speaker 1: got the Philadelphiagles offensive talent when one game you got
Speaker 1: two weeks to prepare, you got Baker Mayfield or Jimmy Garo.
Speaker 1: Who do you think I'm picking. I think you picking
Speaker 1: Jimmy because of trust. I'm picking Jimmy. You're picking Jimmy. Jimmy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: go with Jimmy to may All right, let's go to
Speaker 1: the one that you mentioned a little while ago, DaShan
Speaker 1: or Lamar. That's a tough one. I still played here
Speaker 1: Sean now that he's gone. Lamar, Yeah, that's my pick.
Speaker 1: I'm just being honest here. Okay, let's put this. You
Speaker 1: know what, and I've said this before. Lamar Jackson to me,
Speaker 1: is kind of like Russell Westbrook when he was in
Speaker 1: Oklahoma City. Yeah, and he's so entertaining. He's just jumping
Speaker 1: out of the jam. That's Lamar Jackson. I love watching
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson. He's totally entertaining. He's unpredictable. He can will
Speaker 1: the team across the goal line in a variety of ways.
Speaker 1: I love that about him. I think the Ravens have
Speaker 1: a really difficult decision to make. By the way, now
Speaker 1: that Murray's got the contract, you know what's going to happen, right,
Speaker 1: It'll be two hundred and thirty one million dollars because
Speaker 1: wasn't Murray just a half million more than Watson? Yes?
Speaker 1: And then the question is what's the guarantee? The question,
Speaker 1: and Jackson, much more than Murray, has a case to say,
Speaker 1: I get all of it, I get two thirty one guaranteed,
Speaker 1: give it up. And he hasn't to give three percent
Speaker 1: to his agent or two percent or whatever they're giving
Speaker 1: their agents. Now. He just handed to his mom at
Speaker 1: that point. Yeah, here you go, mom, you're my agent.
Speaker 1: Nice job Mark, and nice job Drew Doherty because he's
Speaker 1: gonna join us next with where are they now with
Speaker 1: former safety Quittin Damps right here in Texas All Axis.
Speaker 1: What's up everybody? Welcome back to this Friday issue of
Speaker 1: Texas All Access. I'm John Harris. It's time to dive
Speaker 1: in to our Where are they now? I promise you
Speaker 1: a little Quintin Demps, former safety for your Houston Texans,
Speaker 1: did it twice. Was here in twelve eleven twelve time frame,
Speaker 1: came back in twenty fifteen, but it was twenty sixteen
Speaker 1: when he set it off with interception after interception for
Speaker 1: the number one ranked defense in the league. Here's Drew Doherty.
Speaker 1: Where are they now? With Quintin Demps. Time to talk
Speaker 1: now with one of my favorite Houston Texans of all time.
Speaker 1: It is safety Quintin Demps. Quinton, how you been man? Good?
Speaker 1: Are you coaching ball at a college? Man? At Trinity
Speaker 1: International University. I'm the secondary coach and also the assistant
Speaker 1: head coach. And this is my first spring. The last
Speaker 1: semester was my first fall. It's my first spring, so yeah, man,
Speaker 1: it's kind of what's going on with me right now.
Speaker 1: So you're a ten year NFL veteran. You had two
Speaker 1: stints with the Texans. A little bit in ten, and
Speaker 1: then all of eleven, all of twelve, and then you
Speaker 1: come back in fifteen sixteen. All together, you played fifty
Speaker 1: games for Houston in the regular season. You started a
Speaker 1: little over half of those, and uh, you quit. You
Speaker 1: left the game. I think around seventeen eighteen. What have
Speaker 1: you been doing? Eighteen eighteen? Okay, so how long before
Speaker 1: you left the game, before you got into coaching? What
Speaker 1: was the what was the I guess what spurred that
Speaker 1: auto made that happen, you know, Man, like like many
Speaker 1: of us, Man, I'll just be I'll be uh, I'll
Speaker 1: be honest. Man. You know I had after eighteen, Man,
Speaker 1: I hit I hit a you know, I had a
Speaker 1: bad up. I had bad years, A few bad years. Man,
Speaker 1: just trying to figure life out again. And Man, just
Speaker 1: going through the spiral man of you know, the up
Speaker 1: and down of just trying to find myself just the
Speaker 1: realities of the game being over. Man's kind of it's
Speaker 1: kind of hard, you know. Yeah, But uh, Man, things
Speaker 1: have worked out. I've gotten better. Man, I've done some
Speaker 1: some healing, um you know, some soul searching and um
Speaker 1: so man, I would say twenty twenty one, Man, I
Speaker 1: started this job here at um at Tiu man. Um.
Speaker 1: But it's funny how I got the job because I
Speaker 1: was just pursuing my masters. I was just trying to
Speaker 1: go to school here because they have a seminary here
Speaker 1: that I'm enrolled in and um, but I ended up, man,
Speaker 1: m being a coach yet. Man. So it's just crazy
Speaker 1: how things work out, man. But it took a while. Man.
Speaker 1: It took about three years for me to really recover,
Speaker 1: man and get back on my feet, man, just emotionally,
Speaker 1: um at to retire. So your study you were in
Speaker 1: the seminary are you Are you still in that program
Speaker 1: or you Yeah, I'm currently in the masters program um
Speaker 1: studying theology and mental health counseling. Oh that's wonderful. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's wonderful. You know, like the best coaches that I've
Speaker 1: ever spoken with, you know, they've described their job not
Speaker 1: as being coaches, but it's it's a ministry in and
Speaker 1: of itself in its own way. I mean you're sounds
Speaker 1: like you're getting to study one aspect and then live another,
Speaker 1: right Yeah, absolutely, absolutely, man. Yeah, coaches, Like definitely, I'm
Speaker 1: a voice for the guys, right, My voice, my mentor,
Speaker 1: and it's my ministry too. Yeah, so it's a good
Speaker 1: way to see it. Yeah. Do these guys understand or
Speaker 1: I don't want to they understand, but did they realize
Speaker 1: what you've been through and what you experienced? Not too
Speaker 1: many people can say they played ten years in the
Speaker 1: NFL like you can. I mean, did they did they
Speaker 1: grasp that? You know? I don't know. I don't know, man.
Speaker 1: I think a few of them. I have one coach
Speaker 1: who really who was grasped it too. But the players,
Speaker 1: I'm not sure. I'm not sure man, if they really
Speaker 1: really understand it. I think it's still like you know,
Speaker 1: it's still like an all at times, but they don't
Speaker 1: really understand. Man, what it took man, How you know
Speaker 1: how hard it was and um, the things that you
Speaker 1: know that come with that, that ten years in the league. Man,
Speaker 1: is that kind of refreshing for you when you do,
Speaker 1: when you deal with people that don't know much about
Speaker 1: you like that? Is that cool? Or is it? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I mean it's it has its perks, has its pros
Speaker 1: and cons, you know, like anything, U you know, it's uh, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's just it's just it's just a home. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: don't know, I don't know, man, I'm still trying to
Speaker 1: figure that out. You know. So what what do you
Speaker 1: what are what are some of the main principles when
Speaker 1: you're coaching, because you're coaching defensive backs. I take it right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: What are some of the main things that you focus
Speaker 1: on and want these guys to do and and key
Speaker 1: in on. Yeah, I see. I try to. I try
Speaker 1: to keep it as simple as possible, you know. I
Speaker 1: learned this from from Wade Phillips. Man, keep the game
Speaker 1: simple as possible. I try to coach the fundamentals right leverage, eyes, discipline,
Speaker 1: right leverage, right when your leverage, have discipline eyes, man,
Speaker 1: and do it right. Do what she's supposed to do,
Speaker 1: Do your job the right way, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: So I don't I don't try to, like, you know,
Speaker 1: teach some crazy philosophy. Man. I try to keep as
Speaker 1: simple as possible for these guys. Man, the fundamentals, the
Speaker 1: base fundamentals of the game. That's how you're gonna be successful.
Speaker 1: That's a philosophy in itself, man, Because I think there's
Speaker 1: a lot of people that that over complicate things, don't
Speaker 1: you eat Yeah, I do, I do. I've been around
Speaker 1: a few all right, Well, let's rewind. Okay, you grew
Speaker 1: up in San Antonio, you went to Roosevelt High School,
Speaker 1: phenomenal player there. What leads you from Roosevelt High out
Speaker 1: to UTEP. You played at UTL Paso in the early
Speaker 1: arts or mid arts. Yeah, man, so I didn't have
Speaker 1: I didn't have good grades. Oh, so like big schools
Speaker 1: would come, like Big twelve. The whole Big twelve was
Speaker 1: approved of me. They would come to the campus man
Speaker 1: and see my grades and be like, oh, good luck,
Speaker 1: you know, good luck man, hopefully see you soon. So
Speaker 1: I was thinking, I'm going to junior college, right, gonna
Speaker 1: kill gore. Um. However, man, UTEP, they came to the
Speaker 1: school and they they kind of guided me through the
Speaker 1: process and they said, man, you got to score a
Speaker 1: certain amount on ACT and then we're able to get
Speaker 1: a scholarship, you know. And so but they said if
Speaker 1: I don't pass, if I don't score a certain school,
Speaker 1: then they lose a scholarship. So it was almost like, okay, man,
Speaker 1: we're gonna do something for you, but do some of us, right.
Speaker 1: We don't want to lose the scholarship waiting on you,
Speaker 1: but we value so we're gonna wait for you and
Speaker 1: so Utube was the only school man, the only dp
Speaker 1: one that waited for me to see if I would
Speaker 1: pass with with with a high enough school act man,
Speaker 1: and I end up passing. So it was like a
Speaker 1: no brand to go there. That's awesome. What was that
Speaker 1: transition like, because e'll Passo is a different place. Yeah,
Speaker 1: well the Passo on San Antonio are similar, I mean
Speaker 1: in regards to the Hispanic culture, you know, but El
Speaker 1: Passo Yeah, it's it's definitely. It was definitely something you know,
Speaker 1: took some getting used to. It's not as fast, it's
Speaker 1: not as vibrant as you know, a big city like
Speaker 1: San Antonio, So you know, it took. It took a while.
Speaker 1: I get used to it, man. But as I go
Speaker 1: back now as an adult, man, I really appreciate the city.
Speaker 1: I really do. Man. It's really a great city. Man.
Speaker 1: People are amazing, you know. Man, So I really enjoy
Speaker 1: all passo. Man, I hold a deer to my heart
Speaker 1: for real. Yeah. You know, back in the day when
Speaker 1: you were with the Texans, you and I talked a
Speaker 1: little bit because I actually covered some of your games
Speaker 1: that you played in. I didn't realize it, but I
Speaker 1: was out and loved it covering the Red Raiders and
Speaker 1: you guys in O six and in OH seven played
Speaker 1: Texas Tech OH six. You almost beat them. You probably
Speaker 1: should have beat them in overtime there in the Sun Bowl,
Speaker 1: and it's it remains one of the best game experiences
Speaker 1: I can ever recall. Is very unique because the Sun
Speaker 1: Bowl was filled that night, and it's loud, and it
Speaker 1: bounces off those rocks that they got right there. That
Speaker 1: was a really cool time when you were there. You
Speaker 1: had you and there are some other players. You are
Speaker 1: a squad. Yeah, yeah, we had a We had a
Speaker 1: good team. We had a couple of good years man
Speaker 1: under Mike Price. Like you said, man, that's some bowl.
Speaker 1: Be in the field, man, it's it's definitely an experience,
Speaker 1: like for real, like being like a stadium inside the mountain.
Speaker 1: That's that's pretty cool man. Yeah. And basically on the
Speaker 1: border of Mexico because when I was in the press box,
Speaker 1: I looked at my phone and it said international Roaming.
Speaker 1: So I mean, like I don't know if what the
Speaker 1: cell phone towers were doing, but I guess I was
Speaker 1: pining off something over across the border or something. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because you see you can see no right there, you
Speaker 1: sitting the you know, so yeah, go to the border
Speaker 1: for sure. Yeah all right, So after you kept drafted
Speaker 1: by the Eagles and you spend some time there, what
Speaker 1: was your draft weekend experience? Like what happened? Yeah? Man,
Speaker 1: it's funny because I ran a four or three in
Speaker 1: the combine, right, and I just thought, I just knew
Speaker 1: for sure I go, you know, at least second I
Speaker 1: go on the first day, right, I thought I was,
Speaker 1: of course, I'm hopeful first round, right, right, but at
Speaker 1: least at the very least I was thinking second round,
Speaker 1: all right, And um, at this time, it was two days.
Speaker 1: It was like the first right, the first day of
Speaker 1: second day. So um, the first first day, man, I'm
Speaker 1: you know, get excited, preparing, and uh, I didn't hear
Speaker 1: my name called. So I was mad. I was mad,
Speaker 1: I was I stressed out. So I went out that
Speaker 1: night and had a great time, had an amazing time.
Speaker 1: Almost had too much of a two good of a time.
Speaker 1: Look to the point where the next day I'm knocked out, man,
Speaker 1: and he was blowing my phone up. But I'm sleep,
Speaker 1: I'm hung over, like sleep. And so they finally called
Speaker 1: my mom and she busted my room quite wake up
Speaker 1: and so I get up. Man, I'm halfway live still. Yeah, Man,
Speaker 1: go to the screen. You wanna see your name, Gonna
Speaker 1: pick you, man. So that's kind of how my weekend went. Man.
Speaker 1: It was an amazing moment and seeing my name coming
Speaker 1: across the ticket offer real even though I was still
Speaker 1: halfway you know, from Live from last night. Man. But
Speaker 1: that's kind of how my my weekend went. That's that's
Speaker 1: pretty interesting. Yeah, and you had some good years there.
Speaker 1: Uh you wind up at the end of two thousand
Speaker 1: and ten though with the Texans. How did that all happen?
Speaker 1: And how much you know, what what what what went
Speaker 1: down with that move to Houston. Yeah. So manum, my
Speaker 1: first two years of Philly, Man, they were really really,
Speaker 1: really strong. Well, my first year was strong to the
Speaker 1: point where, like um, they had they had so much
Speaker 1: confidence in me, um that they let Brian Dawkins go, right.
Speaker 1: I was, I was the next guy to fulfill Brian Dawkins,
Speaker 1: you know, his role on the team. I wrote, but
Speaker 1: like you know, I was gonna be the start of
Speaker 1: that year. Um, And so man, I was I was cocky, Drew.
Speaker 1: I was so cocky man out, you know, I would
Speaker 1: talk stuff to to the to the media and all
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff, and he Rea didn't like that stuff, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: so they did of letting me go, you know, just
Speaker 1: because I was too much of a cancer or whatever.
Speaker 1: And um, I didn't perform well too. So I got
Speaker 1: cut probably my in my third year, my third year
Speaker 1: there whenever when a rookie contract, and um, I set
Speaker 1: out for like ten ten weeks, twelve weeks, man, I'm like,
Speaker 1: what is this. You know, I didn't think I ever
Speaker 1: get cut and set out twelve weeks and um yeah, man.
Speaker 1: But then so just uh, as I'm sitting out, man,
Speaker 1: Texans called me you know when it when it worked out, man,
Speaker 1: Brian Gardner, which is you know, you're a good friend
Speaker 1: of mine. He called me in man about me in
Speaker 1: for a workout. And you know, Kobe Kubek was the
Speaker 1: head coach at the time, and uh Frank uh I
Speaker 1: forget his name, Frank bank Bush was the DC. Yeah
Speaker 1: that's way back right, Yeah, yeah, man, that's how that's
Speaker 1: how I happened. Man. They saw me the last four
Speaker 1: games of the season. I ended up I end up
Speaker 1: playing look at the special teams, and that's kind of
Speaker 1: how I got to Houston. Yeah, Brian Gardner, really savvy
Speaker 1: guy who we saw him at the combine. Passed him
Speaker 1: in the halls and said what's up and talk to
Speaker 1: him a few minutes. But that was an interesting time
Speaker 1: that season. Coming into that season and ten, there were
Speaker 1: high hopes for the Texans. They had just gone nine
Speaker 1: and seven the year before, but the defense fell apart,
Speaker 1: and the past defense in particular really struggled. But they
Speaker 1: added guys like you. They added a guy like Jason Allen.
Speaker 1: I think they're at the end. And then in the
Speaker 1: off season they really turned things over. You were part
Speaker 1: of eleven and twelve. Those were fun times around here. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they were. That's when they signed J Joe and d Manning.
Speaker 1: Yeah they sure, yeah, they sure did. Didn't didn't Wade
Speaker 1: Fields come in at yet? Wade came in? Yeah, so yeah,
Speaker 1: Bush and then were their let go. Wade came in,
Speaker 1: switched it to a three four. Yeah, drafted J J. Watt,
Speaker 1: drafted Um Brooks, red Connor, Barwin, got healthy, J Joe,
Speaker 1: D man and then Kareem matured, Glover was moved to safety.
Speaker 1: There was a lot of like moving parts to that,
Speaker 1: and you're you're one of them. Oh Vance Joseph too,
Speaker 1: Vance jose He was key, Yeah, he was key to
Speaker 1: the back end. Man is he one of the clearest
Speaker 1: communicators You've ever encountered as a coach, because he is.
Speaker 1: He's the clearest creator, Kater I've ever seen. Man That
Speaker 1: man is amazing coach, Like he communicates, he teaches Man. Man,
Speaker 1: He's really He's probably one of the best tie be
Speaker 1: coaches I've had. Man Him and Uh James last one
Speaker 1: I had. Uh. I mean John John Butler. Oh John Butler.
Speaker 1: Yeah he's in Buffalo. Yeah, I love John Deaf, you
Speaker 1: know him, Advancement one of my favorite, two of my
Speaker 1: favorite coaches of all time. That's cool. Yeah, yeah, Vance
Speaker 1: was incredible. What was that like? Did you get a set?
Speaker 1: I mean, that's the first playoff team that the Texans
Speaker 1: ever had in eleven and it was a wild season.
Speaker 1: You lose shob t j Yates is the quarterback and everything.
Speaker 1: What was that like for you, you you know, giving your
Speaker 1: history and seeing what you what you saw, Yeah, Man,
Speaker 1: just like being a part of that was It's amazing.
Speaker 1: Like the whole turnaround because you can tell two or
Speaker 1: some teams when you go to the place in the
Speaker 1: locker room. It's just like a dark cloud over it.
Speaker 1: But just to be a part of that man that
Speaker 1: that rebirth Man of the Texas Man was man somebody
Speaker 1: never forget, you know what I mean. Just it's man
Speaker 1: making the playoffs, you know, a playoff game and Houston Man,
Speaker 1: it was it was. It was cracking man. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: then you wind up you wind up going elsewhere. You
Speaker 1: kind of reunite with Andy Reid and the Chiefs and thirteen. Yeah,
Speaker 1: how did that come about? Because you I don't did
Speaker 1: you leave on kind of sour terms with him in Philadelphia? Um,
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say sour terms. Just like he knew I
Speaker 1: had to mature him, got him, Yeah, and kind of
Speaker 1: like he kind of you know, he knew I had
Speaker 1: to be humble, you know. So I think him releasing
Speaker 1: me that ye was way humbling me, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean. And again you're like, you know it's the
Speaker 1: NFL man, like un was it. He was hoping I'm matured,
Speaker 1: and so he's like, man, I'll give another shot, you know.
Speaker 1: So he brought me in that year one year contract.
Speaker 1: Man ended up having one of my best years as
Speaker 1: a kick returning had all four years, keep returning that years,
Speaker 1: which kind of you know, rebodlized my career. Honestly, you
Speaker 1: know it did, man, it did so being bend of
Speaker 1: the Dave told which who was the best for the
Speaker 1: team coach Evan, Yeah, being under him, man really, uh yeah, Man,
Speaker 1: we'll see my career for a few more years. And
Speaker 1: so that was That's kind of how that came about.
Speaker 1: The man I was on the street, um, and he
Speaker 1: knew it was fast, and so he called me man
Speaker 1: and reunited for sure. Third week or preseason twenty fifteen,
Speaker 1: Quentin Damps comes in. We're number thirty two, and I thought,
Speaker 1: all right, we'll see and that guy turned into one
Speaker 1: of the better defensive players to the Texans the next
Speaker 1: couple of years. All right, we're gonna take it around
Speaker 1: the NFL and our final segment next right here in

Speaker 1: The Jets also unveiled a black helmet. Now the green
Speaker 1: on the black helmet for the Jets, I don't know.
Speaker 1: The Eagles, I think did it right. They just took
Speaker 1: the green off all together and went black with the
Speaker 1: white Eagles wings. I think it looks pretty sharp. I
Speaker 1: think these alternate uniforms are gonna look absolutely brilliant. They're
Speaker 1: gonna look awesome. The Sisady Bengals unveiled a white Bengal helmet.
Speaker 1: They've teased this for about ten days now and they
Speaker 1: finally put the helmet out and it looks pretty sharp.
