22
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:12,280
Speaker 1: do you feel today, folks? What a difference of day

23
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 1: makes in your feelings? See, feelings sometimes shouldn't come into play,

24
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 1: but they do because I get it. Everybody's passionate, excited,

25
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:22,720
Speaker 1: you know, we want people to be excited. We've had

26
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 1: so much football euphori up in the last calendar year,

27
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 1: in the last twelve months, and it's been incredible from

28
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 1: the hiring of Demico and I don't have to recap everything.

29
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:35,839
Speaker 1: You know what happened, draft and outstanding season, NFL honors

30
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,319
Speaker 1: all of it. So when day one, when the next

31
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:43,040
Speaker 1: big benchmark event occurs, day one of legal tampering, it's

32
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 1: wait a minute, you didn't get Barkley and you signed

33
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 1: Lonnie again. That was pretty much in lunch time, cooler

34
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 1: talking end, nothing against I think Lonni can help the

35
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:57,000
Speaker 1: tea and we'll see how that goes. But the thing is, yeah,

36
00:01:57,080 --> 00:02:00,160
Speaker 1: you want all these big headlines and people are we're

37
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 1: on the air on social media and you want meat,

38
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 1: you need meat, and you didn't get the protein until

39
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 1: the day started. Twentyfold all right, as we are on

40
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:15,920
Speaker 1: the air yesterday, as he's al Shire gets on or

41
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 1: agrees to terms with the Houston Texans. More stuff happens overnight,

42
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 1: and then about a half hour ago or so, Danielle Hunter,

43
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 1: Houston Texan, what all right? This is getting good? Johnny, welcome,

44
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:30,639
Speaker 1: How you doing.

45
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:34,800
Speaker 2: I don't know if you have Nick's Nick's number, but

46
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:37,359
Speaker 2: we need to text him and say thanks man, because

47
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 2: they dropped the l z's el Shire news, like right

48
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:42,360
Speaker 2: at the end of our first segment. Yeah, thirty minutes

49
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:46,520
Speaker 2: before we go go on tonight, daniel Hunter is added.

50
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:50,080
Speaker 2: And if you've seen my tweet, which hopefully you have,

51
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 2: in the last forty eight hours, Nick and Demiko have

52
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 2: added to this defense Nico Autry, Aziz al Shire, dan

53
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 2: Neil Hunter, the top defensive end free agent on the board,

54
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 2: Jeff Akuda, who, by the way, I watched I watched

55
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:06,240
Speaker 2: Akuda today, so I was trying.

56
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:07,800
Speaker 3: To remember our game. I didn't watch our game.

57
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 2: I watched the Tampa Bay game, and I was like,

58
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 2: there's possibilities here.

59
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 3: Now.

60
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:15,640
Speaker 2: He gave up a couple of completions. And this is

61
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 2: what pisses me off about PFF. I go check PFF grades.

62
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:20,360
Speaker 2: It's kind of curious he had his lowest grade in

63
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 2: that game. I'm like, are y'all looking.

64
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 3: At the same thing.

65
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 2: I am, Yeah, he got beat and he had one

66
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 2: holding penalty and that was it. I'm like either way,

67
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:31,080
Speaker 2: So in Akuda was one year, can max out at

68
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 2: six million, and then uh and then Fatsukosi. Fully Fatsukosi

69
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 2: got added just right before Monday, I believe it was.

70
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 2: That's what they've added to this defense. Now I've lost

71
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 2: John Grenard, They've lost Blake Cashman. We don't know about

72
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 2: Sheldon Rancas yet, but we they lost those two players

73
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 2: in that and well we don't know about Steven either.

74
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 2: They haven't decided on a play.

75
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 1: She's he's still out there, right, He's still out there.

76
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 1: They're not done because corner that's something they're gonna look

77
00:03:58,520 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 1: at right more deeply.

78
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 2: Well again, I told you this the other day. It's

79
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 2: been the mo Well San Francisco was it was the

80
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 2: mo o. You bolster the defensive line, which, by the way,

81
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 2: the coach bolster defensive line as well, with another freakazoid

82
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:16,279
Speaker 2: in the middle. Rake wants Davis. So now they go

83
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 2: six seven sixt' seven and then Grover Stewart, who they

84
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:19,480
Speaker 2: re signed.

85
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:20,919
Speaker 3: That's their interior.

86
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 1: They're paying a lot on that line. Well that's a

87
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 1: Balloray Buckner is not cheap. Yeah, that exactly that is.

88
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 1: That's Ballad's way. So it was always kind of them.

89
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 1: And in San Francisco. Now you build through the defensive line.

90
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 1: Defensive line. None of their corners were drafted before the

91
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 1: third round. Maybe we're the opposite because this is a

92
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 1: draft where the more now I look at this, you

93
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 1: bring in Denial Hunter, Andoniico Autry with Willy Anderson.

94
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 3: We heard about Dylan Horton.

95
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 2: I don't know what that all means for Dylan as

96
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 2: far as his football career goes. Just want them to

97
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 2: get healthy, yep, and get back to football and playing,

98
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:54,479
Speaker 2: because I think that's part of the health recovery is

99
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 2: getting back doing what you know to do and what

100
00:04:56,600 --> 00:05:00,360
Speaker 2: you're comfortable, what you love doing is football. So you've

101
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 2: added to Neil Hunter, Nico Autry, to Will Anderson. I

102
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 2: don't know if that takes defensive end out of the

103
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:10,160
Speaker 2: draft mix, but maybe it does. Defensive tackle, you've added Fatsukasi,

104
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:14,040
Speaker 2: you don't know about Sheldon Rankins, and you've already got

105
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 2: Molie Collins here already. So defensive line has been bolstered.

106
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:21,160
Speaker 2: Corner might be one that they look at, especially because

107
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 2: this is a really good corner draft where they're sitting

108
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:25,039
Speaker 2: at twenty three mark, there's going to be a corner

109
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:27,279
Speaker 2: push to them at twenty three and maybe that's where

110
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:30,479
Speaker 2: they go to get another you know, to get Stingley

111
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 2: on the opposite side with him, or or whatever. How

112
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 2: they look at it, what they're doing is they're setting

113
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,279
Speaker 2: themselves up for draft night to do a whole have

114
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:39,160
Speaker 2: a whole lot of fun, to have a whole lot

115
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:41,279
Speaker 2: of fun. And by the way, people notice, when I

116
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 2: was at the combine, I met Tron Davenport. Who's the

117
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 2: ESPN who cover who is the djbm me basically in

118
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 2: Tennessee in ESPN, he tweeted twice. His first tweet twenty

119
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 2: six minutes ago, Wow, Daneil Hunter, Deniko Autry, aziz Al

120
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:01,280
Speaker 2: Schier among others. For the Texans, they're definitely up. They're

121
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 2: doing it right by taking advantage of the c J.

122
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:04,839
Speaker 2: Strouds Ricky quarterback deal and using the money to build

123
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 2: up their roster around him. Second tweets a minute ago,

124
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:10,279
Speaker 2: facing Will Anderson and Daniel Hunter and Houston just just

125
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:13,479
Speaker 2: that alone. Think about that, teams are gonna have to

126
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:15,840
Speaker 2: face Will Anderson and Daniel Hunter and.

127
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:17,720
Speaker 1: Will in year two who's gonna get better?

128
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 3: And Deniko Autry.

129
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:20,920
Speaker 2: He needn't put him in there facing Will Anderson and

130
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 2: Deniel Hunter and Houston, Josh Allen and Jacksonville presumably the

131
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:26,480
Speaker 2: Forest Butner when he lines up a defensive end and

132
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 2: Indy elevates the value of offensive tackles for the Titans.

133
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 2: Titans need to find a way to get at least

134
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:32,160
Speaker 2: two good ones via the draft in free agents.

135
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:33,040
Speaker 1: Let me ask you this.

136
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:35,240
Speaker 2: You're putting pressure on every team in the AFC South

137
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:37,680
Speaker 2: right now. This Daniel Hunter move does that to the

138
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:38,360
Speaker 2: tenth degree?

139
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 1: Have they improved on that side of the ball when

140
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 1: you look at it like the defense, Yes, yes, the

141
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:48,559
Speaker 1: answer is yes, undoubtedly. Yes. We'll get to the offense

142
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 1: in a moment because obviously something big happened today there.

143
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:55,279
Speaker 1: But when I look at year two, healthy Will Anderson

144
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 1: and look, health always plays a part in this. And

145
00:06:57,600 --> 00:06:59,600
Speaker 1: by the way, along those lines, that's why I say

146
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 1: they're not done because you need more bodies. You gotta

147
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:04,839
Speaker 1: get deeper, you gotta get deeper. All over the place,

148
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 1: we saw how that went last year with all teams.

149
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 4: Yep.

150
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 1: So we'll get to that, but just talking about the

151
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 1: meat of it. Speaking of meat, the meat of it.

152
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:16,720
Speaker 1: When you look at Will Anderson year two, JG had

153
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 1: a great year last year. He was banged up a bunch,

154
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 1: but he played through it a lot of the time

155
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 1: and had a great year twelve and a half sacks.

156
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:25,559
Speaker 1: We all know that this is Daniel Hunter we're talking about.

157
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 1: And then we're talking about Look, Derek Barnett. Maybe he

158
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 1: ends up on the team again. I don't know. But

159
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 1: instead of Derek Barnett being that guy coming off the

160
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:36,760
Speaker 1: pine or subbing it whatever the rotation is, Denikoautrey and

161
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 1: then you move him inside on pass rush downs, you

162
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 1: have a Hunter and Autrey and Will Malik going after

163
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:44,240
Speaker 1: the quarterback or however they want to configure it. That

164
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 1: is strong up front linebacker. As he's out Shire nice,

165
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 1: They're gonna add more linebackers. But Christian Harris the way

166
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 1: he came along. Who knows what happens with Henry Toatoa

167
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 1: this year. Does he make that big jump year one

168
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:59,240
Speaker 1: to year two with Demiko and the coaching situation that

169
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 1: they have, And then in the secondary. They're clearly not done,

170
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 1: but there's still That's why you have to let this

171
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 1: thing play out. You got to give it a couple

172
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 1: of weeks to see what you really have before you

173
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 1: can start making that depth chart really detailed and look

174
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 1: at how look at how deep it is, because you

175
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 1: know you're gonna need that depth.

176
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 3: Well. Titus Howard already tweeted as well.

177
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 2: He said, our d line is crazy with five wives,

178
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:25,559
Speaker 2: so crazy. So yeah, I mean you start thinking about

179
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 2: training camp and the one on ones Laramy's gonna go

180
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 2: against Daniel Hunter and will you know, every day Titus

181
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 2: presumably moving out the right tackles.

182
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:35,719
Speaker 1: Gonna I might even watch those, you know how I

183
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:38,840
Speaker 1: never watched those. I never watched that. I'm sent down there.

184
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:40,839
Speaker 1: It's just a notch of bine with it. I'm fine

185
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 1: with it. It's a notch above special teams practice for me.

186
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:45,960
Speaker 1: But I'm gonna watch it now. I'm gonna watch the

187
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 1: one on ones now.

188
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:49,840
Speaker 3: I mean, you said, if the Texan's gotten better, and

189
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:51,439
Speaker 3: if you just.

190
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:56,200
Speaker 2: Look at say say just go okay, Daniel Hunter and

191
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 2: John Grenard's basically a trade. You want to look at

192
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 2: it that way, Okay, But also added to Eco Auchman

193
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 2: on top of that.

194
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, then you look.

195
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 2: At okay, between Blake Cashman and disease. Let's just say

196
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:12,679
Speaker 2: it's a straight up just even trade, Okay. I mean,

197
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 2: if that's what you get now a Shire has been healthy,

198
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 2: and I mean, and that's been that's been a big thing.

199
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 3: You know, Blake head ups and downs with that and

200
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 3: we all knew that.

201
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:21,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the thing.

202
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 3: Yeah.

203
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:23,679
Speaker 2: And then in the second area you bring in Akudah.

204
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:26,560
Speaker 2: So if it's Acuda for Nelson, you're trading younger for

205
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:27,320
Speaker 2: more experience.

206
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 3: And obviously Nelson was really really good. He was, and

207
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:30,480
Speaker 3: that's really good.

208
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 1: That's low risk, high reward to me, that's absolutely with that,

209
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:36,200
Speaker 1: you're not paying a lot and he might turn into

210
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 1: who he was hoping to turn into when he was

211
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:41,600
Speaker 1: picked in the first place. But again, they're not done there.

212
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 1: They're not done, and they've got a lot of safeties.

213
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 1: You pointed this out either last night or one of

214
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:48,960
Speaker 1: your tweets or whatever. You know, Eric Murray back. I

215
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:51,440
Speaker 1: know no one's gonna throw a parade for Eric Murray back,

216
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:53,600
Speaker 1: but that's the kind of depth you're looking for. Eric

217
00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:55,439
Speaker 1: Murray would have played a bunch last year. Had he

218
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:59,080
Speaker 1: been able to stay healthy, right, he can sub in

219
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:02,199
Speaker 1: for you. He can play in a pinch and be productive.

220
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 1: He's been around. And I'm not gonna headline this show

221
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:07,959
Speaker 1: with that. But again, depth, depth, all right. So that's

222
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 1: the defense. That's the defense, and we'll probably we're here

223
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 1: in the Sports Radio six ten studio live so we

224
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 1: could take calls. Have one three, five, seven two four

225
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:16,440
Speaker 1: six ten. I don't even have to look at the

226
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 1: number because that number is in my DNA. I've been

227
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 1: saying that number since two thousand and two. And you

228
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 1: know I started here by myself nine to eleven with

229
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 1: Chris Jones on the other side of the glass, new

230
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 1: in the market doing shows. I should have called you, well,

231
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:33,599
Speaker 1: I used to hear you with the other guys, and

232
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 1: I'd be like, he sounds pretty good. Seven one three, five,

233
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:37,720
Speaker 1: seven two four six ten. You got a question about

234
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:42,080
Speaker 1: the free agency concern comment whatever? All right, So let's

235
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 1: look at the offense today. The Joe Mixon news drops,

236
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:51,479
Speaker 1: and the Joe Mixon news is that it's a trade

237
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 1: because of the salary situation and a bonus coming up

238
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 1: next week and all of that. But let's spare me

239
00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:59,560
Speaker 1: those details for now. This is a very affordable deal

240
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 1: for the Houston, and highly affordable deal a lot less

241
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:04,920
Speaker 1: than Barkley would have cost you. I'm not saying he's Barkley,

242
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:07,800
Speaker 1: but here's what Joe Mixon does for you. And I

243
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:10,080
Speaker 1: haven't listened to anybody all day about mixing because I

244
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 1: tuned in late. I have other things going on today

245
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:14,720
Speaker 1: with the budgets and things. But let me put it

246
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:17,679
Speaker 1: to you this way. Mixon caught the ball what he

247
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 1: had fifty two catches last year. He had a thousand

248
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:22,559
Speaker 1: yard season as a running back. He had fifty two catches.

249
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 1: The Texans have not had anybody catch the ball that

250
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:29,439
Speaker 1: much out of the backfield since Arian Foster. Not saying

251
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 1: he's Eryan, I'm just saying this. He is a receiving

252
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 1: threat in addition to being a running threat. He was

253
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 1: seventh to among backs in the league in all purpose yards.

254
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:41,600
Speaker 1: This guy is going to be a really key element

255
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:45,560
Speaker 1: to this offense. Bobby Slowick working him in. Not saying

256
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:49,240
Speaker 1: he's McCaffrey either, but think McCaffrey, think that kind of

257
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:53,760
Speaker 1: role for Joe Mixon, yep in situations. All right, Again,

258
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 1: I'm not saying he's McCaffrey, but he can catch the

259
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:57,840
Speaker 1: ball out of the backfield. He can run with the football.

260
00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:01,200
Speaker 1: The Texans running backs who catch the ball really well,

261
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:05,839
Speaker 1: and we're highly productive in that area. Arian Foster, Dominic Davis,

262
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 1: going back to the early days now known as Dominic Williams,

263
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:12,320
Speaker 1: and Steve Slayton in two thousand and eight, he didn't

264
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:15,560
Speaker 1: even have fifty two catches. I thought, surely Slayton slave

265
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:17,840
Speaker 1: ride Slayton had fifty two catches. No, he had fifty,

266
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:22,840
Speaker 1: but he led the AFC and yards from scrimmage that year.

267
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:28,120
Speaker 1: Slayton did, so it's basically all purpose. So let me

268
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 1: put it to you this way again. That's another point

269
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 1: to make. Slayton was a third round draft choice and

270
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:39,120
Speaker 1: went crazy leading the AFC and yards from scrimmage. There's

271
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:41,960
Speaker 1: an element to the draft in all of this player

272
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 1: acquisition stuff that you have to focus in on. I

273
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:48,439
Speaker 1: know we can't focus fully on that until we get

274
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:50,600
Speaker 1: to late April, but that's going to be huge for

275
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:53,440
Speaker 1: this team in addition to everything they're doing in this

276
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 1: first few days of free agency and whatever comes after

277
00:12:57,280 --> 00:12:59,360
Speaker 1: that and the second wave. But the draft is going

278
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:01,720
Speaker 1: to be huge look at what they did last year,

279
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 1: third round pick Tank Dell. Now you're looking at him like,

280
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:10,440
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, Nico. They added Noah Brown again, ad

281
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 1: him to the mix. Johnny taught to me about Joe

282
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:14,960
Speaker 1: Mixon what he does for this football team.

283
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:18,200
Speaker 2: Well, I put on the forty nine ers game that

284
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 2: they won out in San Francisco. I think it was

285
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:22,719
Speaker 2: the week before they played US. I think it was

286
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:26,000
Speaker 2: around that time for him, and they handed the ball.

287
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 2: The very first time they handed the ball is like

288
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:30,280
Speaker 2: a nice little tackle trap play. They're running really really

289
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 2: cool concept. And I just I always think of Joe

290
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 2: Mixon a little bit like Leveon Bell. He's kind of

291
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:38,840
Speaker 2: got that patience thing and all of a sudden he

292
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 2: sees it boom. He took this handoff and took off

293
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:45,120
Speaker 2: like a shot, and I thought, whoa, that is some

294
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 2: serious juice. So yeah, he's got some of that catch

295
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:51,560
Speaker 2: ball in the backfield. I don't think they're done at

296
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:53,440
Speaker 2: the running back position. I do think the draft is

297
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:55,840
Speaker 2: going to have one of the answers and the draft

298
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:57,920
Speaker 2: at this point, whether they have seven or eight picks.

299
00:13:57,920 --> 00:13:59,560
Speaker 2: I came and they gave one of them the seventh

300
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 2: round right think for Joe. But again to my point yesterday,

301
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:08,439
Speaker 2: it's like, there are a lot of ways to do

302
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:11,559
Speaker 2: this thing a ton at the beginning, at the beginning

303
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 2: of training camp, did anybody out there know who George

304
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:15,440
Speaker 2: Fant was?

305
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:18,400
Speaker 1: No, of course, I mean you knew who George Fant was,

306
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:22,400
Speaker 1: but you didn't really know George fangs in it right

307
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:24,239
Speaker 1: tackle and was fantastic.

308
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 3: I think you paid him a million bucks.

309
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:28,560
Speaker 2: My point being, there's so many different ways with waiver claims,

310
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 2: with trades, with draft picks, with unsigned or with undrafted

311
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 2: UH signees. There's so many different ways to do this, man.

312
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:37,240
Speaker 2: But I just love the fact that this d line

313
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:39,120
Speaker 2: is stout and.

314
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:41,000
Speaker 3: People are taking notice.

315
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:46,480
Speaker 2: Holy cow, Will Anderson, Denil Hunter, Denico Autry, with Khalil Davis, Heinish,

316
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:50,520
Speaker 2: Emlie Collins and now Fatukasi. Come on, now, let's go

317
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:55,040
Speaker 2: that people are taking notice of what's happening nationally locally.

318
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:56,720
Speaker 3: I mean, it's it's kind of nice for it to

319
00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:57,360
Speaker 3: happen that way.

320
00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:00,600
Speaker 2: But it was just my my point, and I said

321
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 2: this to Clint because I know Clinton was mad at

322
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:04,960
Speaker 2: me about this. I understand the running backs were going

323
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 2: off the board, they were going off the board quickly.

324
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:10,480
Speaker 2: I get I get that well because I was I

325
00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:14,160
Speaker 2: was being too laise fair about it, and I get it.

326
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:15,960
Speaker 2: But that's just that's my way looking at it, because

327
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:18,040
Speaker 2: I've seen this team built a lot of a lot

328
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 2: of years in a lot of different ways. From the

329
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 2: best running who's the best running back that this organization's

330
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 2: ever had.

331
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 3: I'm drafted free agent and drafted for agent. So look,

332
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:28,840
Speaker 3: can you repeat that?

333
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 2: Probably not, but maybe a third round pick you put

334
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 2: on a running back this year, you never know, Maybe

335
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 2: you draft Jafthan Brooks. He's not ready to go because

336
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 2: of the twenty A CEL at the beginning of the year,

337
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 2: but by midway through the year that hoss is ready

338
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:43,040
Speaker 2: to go, and he jumps in with Joe Mixon and

339
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:43,760
Speaker 2: Damian Peers and.

340
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:45,560
Speaker 3: All of a sudden, it's like, oh boy, what do

341
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:46,160
Speaker 3: we got here?

342
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:49,920
Speaker 2: So just it's day one, now it's day two, and

343
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 2: I'm and and this is the other side of it.

344
00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:55,000
Speaker 2: I'm not putting up banners. No, I'm not putting up banners.

345
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:58,200
Speaker 2: I've seen way too many good defenses. Get us to

346
00:15:58,280 --> 00:15:59,400
Speaker 2: nine and seven, and I get us be on a

347
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:02,000
Speaker 2: divisional playoff. I'm not putting up banners either. No, but

348
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 2: I do like what's going on, especially the acquisitions. Like

349
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:08,240
Speaker 2: the acquisitions, and you'd like to see see them get

350
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 2: a little bit of time here. I said, seven and

351
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:13,240
Speaker 2: three five, seven, two, four, six, ten. All right, let's

352
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 2: do it, Troy.

353
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:15,040
Speaker 3: You are on.

354
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:16,800
Speaker 1: First tonight on Texans All Access.

355
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:19,560
Speaker 4: What's up, Troy, Hey, thanks for taking my call. Man.

356
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 5: I'm like, you free agency, and you got to also

357
00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:26,840
Speaker 5: remember you can have cuts coming in training camp. You

358
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:29,120
Speaker 5: don't know who's gonna get cut off of different teams

359
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:31,560
Speaker 5: that you're gonna be able to sign before the season.

360
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 5: I think the Texas did very well. Mikoli is a

361
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:35,920
Speaker 5: defensive coach.

362
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:36,520
Speaker 4: He seemed like.

363
00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 5: Got defensive players that he liked. It wasn't concern with

364
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:42,640
Speaker 5: the running back I wasn't. I mean, you get sat

365
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:46,160
Speaker 5: Kwan Barley great, but it's not like, sayt Kwon Barkley

366
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 5: is just wow. You can't get sa Kwan Barkley. I

367
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 5: don't know, he's not. It's not like he's that great of.

368
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:52,760
Speaker 4: A running back. Good running back help was the issue

369
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:53,160
Speaker 4: with him.

370
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:56,040
Speaker 5: I like the Nixon pick. I think they may get

371
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:58,200
Speaker 5: somebody in draft, but at the same time, you don't

372
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 5: know who else is gonna get cut before the season

373
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 5: that they may pick up as a as a backup

374
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:03,960
Speaker 5: running back or anything like that.

375
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:06,119
Speaker 4: I like to see them get an offensive weapon to

376
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:07,360
Speaker 4: help U C. J. Stroud.

377
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:10,359
Speaker 5: But I think they're gonna be a lot of players

378
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:13,240
Speaker 5: for the text to get. Got Stephen Nelson, are you

379
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:13,959
Speaker 5: gonna sign him?

380
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:14,679
Speaker 1: Uh?

381
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 4: Got gil Moore out there as a cornerback.

382
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:18,080
Speaker 5: I got a lot of guys that's out there available

383
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:20,640
Speaker 5: and a lot of deeper the players still left.

384
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:23,399
Speaker 4: So I think the Texans are just taking their time.

385
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:24,320
Speaker 4: They're there.

386
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:26,960
Speaker 5: They I think they're the right thing. Not just let's

387
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:29,320
Speaker 5: displurage the money. Let's get the players that we can

388
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:31,840
Speaker 5: get in here that hit our system. And what I

389
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:34,879
Speaker 5: do like is they're just not falling victims. Listen to

390
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:36,639
Speaker 5: the fans, Oh y'all just messing up. Y should have

391
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:36,960
Speaker 5: done this.

392
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 4: They have a plan and seem.

393
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:40,360
Speaker 5: Like the Miko and they're doing with their with they're

394
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 5: what they want to do. So I trusted though, and

395
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:45,680
Speaker 5: I took this dick consider to put this team together.

396
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:47,360
Speaker 4: That's all I got to say. Thanks brother, Thanks.

397
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:53,760
Speaker 1: Bobby, Bob mc Yeah, let's just duplicate that call over

398
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:56,040
Speaker 1: and over. We're gonna run it on a loop for

399
00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:58,720
Speaker 1: the rest of the program. Here, Bob McNair had a saying,

400
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:01,120
Speaker 1: if you listen to the fans too much, you're gonna

401
00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:03,760
Speaker 1: be sitting with them. And I thought that was kind

402
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:05,240
Speaker 1: of funny. That's a great sound.

403
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 4: Never heard that.

404
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:08,120
Speaker 1: I mean, he loved the fans, he loved the support,

405
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:10,560
Speaker 1: loved the fans. But you got we talked about it

406
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:11,080
Speaker 1: last night.

407
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:12,439
Speaker 3: They have to do what they do.

408
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:14,840
Speaker 1: Let Nick Cook I wrote about it today in Houston

409
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 1: Texans dot Com. I had a story I entitled it

410
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:21,639
Speaker 1: free Agency Wellness Check. I wanted a wellness check on

411
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:24,400
Speaker 1: all the fans. Are you okay? Are you okay? Can

412
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:25,680
Speaker 1: you hang in there a little bit?

413
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:26,000
Speaker 6: Here?

414
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:29,119
Speaker 1: Can I get you some water? Because we've got ways

415
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:31,560
Speaker 1: to go here and you got to give it a minute.

416
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:35,960
Speaker 1: Let's go to Chris here Texans Radio seven one, three, five, seven, two, four,

417
00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:41,080
Speaker 1: six ten. Good evening, Chris, Hey, y'all, I've.

418
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:42,960
Speaker 7: Been such a fan since I was born, which is

419
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:45,840
Speaker 7: two thousand and two. But uh, the thing is that

420
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:48,719
Speaker 7: I just want to ask you. In this upcoming draft,

421
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:52,560
Speaker 7: seems that the center back position is kind of one

422
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:55,200
Speaker 7: of those mes that we need. But how about O line?

423
00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:58,280
Speaker 7: I know protecting CJ. Shroud and our new running back

424
00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:00,920
Speaker 7: Joe Mixon is important, but do you think O line

425
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:04,480
Speaker 7: could be a more prioritized position than a center back

426
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:05,160
Speaker 7: at this moment?

427
00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:08,520
Speaker 1: All right, thanks for asking, Chris, just hang up and listen. Please,

428
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:11,040
Speaker 1: thank you. I haven't taken calls on the air in

429
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:13,399
Speaker 1: a long time. I gotta tell you, it's fun. I

430
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:15,600
Speaker 1: love talking to the people. All right, So Oline, here's

431
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:18,920
Speaker 1: the deal, And Johnny and I talked about this Texans

432
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:22,320
Speaker 1: Radio previously. We're looking at it thinking, you know what,

433
00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:26,320
Speaker 1: the Oline solutions are probably in the building when you

434
00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:30,000
Speaker 1: think about who's getting healthy, Titus Howard coming back. I'm

435
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:31,960
Speaker 1: not saying they're not going to add to this. But

436
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 1: Juice never got to play enough early, right he was hurt.

437
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:39,000
Speaker 1: He's hurt up until the Jacksonville game. Right soon, Juice

438
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:41,400
Speaker 1: is supposed to be the center, I thought, And we'll

439
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:44,200
Speaker 1: see how they do with that. Dead's gone for the

440
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:48,200
Speaker 1: moment at least, and you have Patterson healing up. He

441
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:50,560
Speaker 1: played center to start out and was doing a pretty

442
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:51,119
Speaker 1: good job.

443
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:51,720
Speaker 4: You know.

444
00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:55,080
Speaker 1: Kenyon Green, we all know he missed the season Kendrick

445
00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:56,920
Speaker 1: Green looked pretty good in limited action.

446
00:19:57,280 --> 00:19:57,800
Speaker 3: You might have.

447
00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:00,920
Speaker 1: Options there that a lot of people aren't thinking about,

448
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:04,960
Speaker 1: aren't focusing on at guards, So let's just see what

449
00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:07,439
Speaker 1: happens there. They might add to that, And remember you

450
00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 1: pointed out they picked up George Pant at the start

451
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:13,639
Speaker 1: of training camp, so there might be other options as well.

452
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:15,560
Speaker 1: But I think they've got it in the build. He

453
00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:17,199
Speaker 1: got a lot of money on the old line as well,

454
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:21,679
Speaker 1: draft capital investment and financial investment with Titus and Laramie.

455
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:25,840
Speaker 2: I do not think the Texans will draft an offensive

456
00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:26,879
Speaker 2: lineman in the first round.

457
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:30,080
Speaker 3: I don't think they'll draft one Day one or Day two.

458
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:33,360
Speaker 3: Doubt they. I doubt it. I doubt it. But I'm

459
00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:35,600
Speaker 3: gonna make sure I say this clearly.

460
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:39,000
Speaker 2: If they did decide to draft an offensive lineman, it

461
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:42,880
Speaker 2: wouldn't surprise me. It wouldn't surprise me because this offensive line,

462
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 2: especially the tackle position, is it's outrageously good. It's really

463
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:52,560
Speaker 2: really good. But I don't anticipate them doing it. Could

464
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:55,640
Speaker 2: they look at in Day three, you know, and again

465
00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:57,680
Speaker 2: that's got some guard tackle versatility.

466
00:20:58,160 --> 00:20:59,480
Speaker 3: Could they do something like that.

467
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:01,639
Speaker 2: Could they look look at really a you know, on

468
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:03,760
Speaker 2: day or early on Day three of one of those

469
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:06,720
Speaker 2: fourth round picks. Look at a guy the offensive line

470
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:09,760
Speaker 2: that's fallen, maybe a center. This is a really good

471
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:12,160
Speaker 2: center group too, but it's not is not a good

472
00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:15,920
Speaker 2: great guard group. But maybe they look at it and say, hey,

473
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:19,040
Speaker 2: maybe you can't stay at guard. I don't know, Maybe

474
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:22,920
Speaker 2: we'll draft the center. Maybe we'll draft I'm just saying

475
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:25,080
Speaker 2: that'd be wild if it worked out that way. There's

476
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:26,520
Speaker 2: gonna be come a point where we look at all

477
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:28,360
Speaker 2: these positions and go, well, where are you gonna take

478
00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:29,360
Speaker 2: a draft pick and put him?

479
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:31,879
Speaker 3: Trust me, we'll find a spot. There's seventeen games in

480
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:32,359
Speaker 3: a season.

481
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:34,679
Speaker 2: There are a lot of times where you're gonna need

482
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:36,480
Speaker 2: a rookie when you didn't think you were going to.

483
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:40,240
Speaker 1: Who would have predicted that you'd beat the living daylights

484
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:43,119
Speaker 1: out of Pittsburgh with Kendrick Green playing guard?

485
00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:45,640
Speaker 2: Yes, not to mention who was playing left tackle that day,

486
00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:47,760
Speaker 2: Jeron Christian and Austin Deculus.

487
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:49,199
Speaker 3: So yeah, I mean, you.

488
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:55,560
Speaker 1: Can't have Deculous started at less started Deculous started at

489
00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:58,399
Speaker 1: left tackle, and you beat US snot out of Pittsburgh.

490
00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:01,680
Speaker 3: And how many sacks did they have that day against US? Zero. TJ.

491
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:04,720
Speaker 1: Watt did nothing. That's wild. You're talking about panic. The

492
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:06,840
Speaker 1: panic was at an all time level in that game.

493
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:09,880
Speaker 1: And then was he having a big brother moment. I'm

494
00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:12,520
Speaker 1: not as good as big brother. I'm not doing anything

495
00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:14,920
Speaker 1: in this building. It didn't motivate him, it demoted I

496
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know what happened that day other

497
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:18,560
Speaker 1: than the Texans looked really good. All right, let's go

498
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:21,879
Speaker 1: to Lamont, because Lamont is somebody I haven't talked to

499
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:24,639
Speaker 1: you for a long time. What's going on Lamont?

500
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:31,080
Speaker 8: He wants to be a Johnny and a man. Nothing much,

501
00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:34,800
Speaker 8: manh say man, Nick Assio is the god.

502
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:35,880
Speaker 5: And uh, you know.

503
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:39,560
Speaker 8: What, what really makes me, what really chops my hide

504
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:43,119
Speaker 8: right now is that we're talking about a dude that

505
00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:47,240
Speaker 8: has showed in the Super Bowl eight or nine times

506
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:50,440
Speaker 8: in one six and we are down here dolling him.

507
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:51,119
Speaker 4: He hit.

508
00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:54,680
Speaker 8: Okay, I'm not gonna put a word to Nick Nicosio's

509
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:57,119
Speaker 8: moth because this is a happy day right now. I

510
00:22:57,160 --> 00:23:00,520
Speaker 8: think he knows what he's doing. I'm just gonna go

511
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:03,359
Speaker 8: on a limb and say I think that Nickosio knows

512
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:07,360
Speaker 8: what he's doing. Man, I don't know if Nickoseio looked

513
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:09,480
Speaker 8: over there to the U of based cools and said that,

514
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:12,119
Speaker 8: you know, defense is fun, and I'm just gonna have

515
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:17,520
Speaker 8: fun with defense. But he's gonna make defense the way

516
00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:18,640
Speaker 8: that they constructed this team.

517
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:20,160
Speaker 4: Right now, defense is.

518
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:23,400
Speaker 8: Gonna almost look as fun as offense to me. Right now, man,

519
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:28,320
Speaker 8: I'm so happy right now. I know it's a lot

520
00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:30,879
Speaker 8: of tweets being deleted right now because a lot of

00:23:57,160 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 8: Nick SiO is not a fooler. I didn't have my doubts.

542
00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:38,199
Speaker 1: on a loop too. We're gonna play these calls on

543
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:40,600
Speaker 1: a loop, all right. We'll get to everybody else. I

544
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:43,200
Speaker 1: promise this is a short break. We take short breaks

545
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 1: here because we know you want to hear more about

546
00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:48,520
Speaker 1: what is happening. Legal tampering. Daniel Hunter or Houston, Texan.

547
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:52,359
Speaker 1: Let's dig in deeper. It's Texans Radio, Mark Vadimir, John

548
00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:55,520
Speaker 1: Harris with you. Big day for the Texans. Legal tampering

549
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:59,199
Speaker 1: reported signings or agreeing to terms. Because they're really not

550
00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:01,920
Speaker 1: supposed to sign the deal. They're not allowed to sign

551
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:04,359
Speaker 1: the deal. I guess they doc you signed now. They

552
00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:07,520
Speaker 1: must before they'd have to fly him in to have

553
00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:10,800
Speaker 1: them literally sign the deal. Oh but physical, you're right,

554
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:13,600
Speaker 1: they got to do that. But Joe Mixon is a

555
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:18,600
Speaker 1: trade and Danielle Hunter from the Vikings is a signing.

556
00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:23,320
Speaker 1: And it's really good that defense really shape it up.

557
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:26,440
Speaker 1: And running back we talked about it twenty four hours ago. Hey,

558
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:28,040
Speaker 1: this is a concern. You gotta get a running back,

559
00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:30,680
Speaker 1: you gotta get started here in the running back acquisition train.

560
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:31,280
Speaker 3: And they did.

561
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:32,880
Speaker 2: I know, we got to get the calls and we'll

562
00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:35,240
Speaker 2: do that a second. But something they consider. Do you

563
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:37,320
Speaker 2: know Hunter war number ninety nine in Minnesota?

564
00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:39,600
Speaker 3: Oh?

565
00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:43,600
Speaker 1: Oh, man can't if there was a receiver with eighty.

566
00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:47,359
Speaker 1: I just don't think Andre Johnson's given that up. What

567
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:51,040
Speaker 1: I don't think he's given it up either, So I

568
00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:51,439
Speaker 1: don't know.

569
00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:51,840
Speaker 3: I don't know.

570
00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:53,880
Speaker 1: I can't speak for him. They just have a discussion.

571
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:57,080
Speaker 1: They're gonna have calendar number. Wait, what was ninety? A

572
00:25:57,119 --> 00:25:58,879
Speaker 1: couple of guys had ninety last year because we had

573
00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:01,840
Speaker 1: a camp ninety and then we had I can't remember.

574
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:06,520
Speaker 1: Ninety looks pretty good though, nineties nice Mario Clowney.

575
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:09,879
Speaker 2: I don't have to wear ninety four in college, if

576
00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:10,720
Speaker 2: I remember correctly.

577
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:14,800
Speaker 3: Phil Davis. Yeah, Davis might move off ninety four.

578
00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:16,240
Speaker 1: I don't mean I like having Davis.

579
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:17,600
Speaker 3: You just made fifty million dollars.

580
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:20,560
Speaker 1: Let's get to Girard on the line here seven one

581
00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:22,679
Speaker 1: three five seven two four six tens Gerard?

582
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:23,400
Speaker 3: What is up?

583
00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:24,720
Speaker 4: Hey?

584
00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:25,240
Speaker 8: How's it going on?

585
00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:25,560
Speaker 2: Mark?

586
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:26,080
Speaker 8: And Johnny?

587
00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:30,320
Speaker 9: I'm very excited about what the Texan's doing.

588
00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:30,520
Speaker 6: Man.

589
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:33,560
Speaker 9: When you look at last year the AFC Championship Game,

590
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:35,600
Speaker 9: you had Kens City and Baltimore. You had with the

591
00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:38,359
Speaker 9: number one and number two defenses in the NFL. And

592
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:39,760
Speaker 9: that's what the Texans are trying to do. They're trying

593
00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:40,840
Speaker 9: to get better on that side.

594
00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:41,000
Speaker 8: Of the ball.

595
00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:42,720
Speaker 9: And I think the move that they made over the

596
00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:46,320
Speaker 9: last two days, uh, big step forward and being on

597
00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:47,960
Speaker 9: the level of those two teams, those are some of

598
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:49,600
Speaker 9: those are the two teams that you're gonna probably have

599
00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:52,000
Speaker 9: to get by again this year. So I like the

600
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:55,159
Speaker 9: moves with Hunter Again, this guy's been doing it for

601
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:55,840
Speaker 9: a long time, man.

602
00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:57,760
Speaker 8: I remember remember when he was in Minnesota.

603
00:26:57,320 --> 00:26:59,639
Speaker 9: When Zimmerman was the head coach. He was putting up

604
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:01,760
Speaker 9: big numb was then. So he's a guy that's been

605
00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:02,840
Speaker 9: doing it for a while.

606
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:03,440
Speaker 4: But still young.

607
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:06,040
Speaker 9: So I think that's I think actually he's an improvement

608
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:08,879
Speaker 9: over Grenard because he's done it for multiple years. The

609
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:12,280
Speaker 9: linebacker we got from Tennessee, I think he's better than

610
00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:16,800
Speaker 9: Cashman's a more disposal player in middle linebacker. Cash might

611
00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:19,240
Speaker 9: be a little bit better in past coverage, but overall,

612
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:21,760
Speaker 9: I think we upgraded that in the middle linebacker position.

613
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:24,680
Speaker 9: And I like the acquisition of Joe Mixon now that

614
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:26,560
Speaker 9: you know, if you just would have put Joe Mixon

615
00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:29,679
Speaker 9: in this free agent running back class from this past season,

616
00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:31,680
Speaker 9: I probaly would have probably played him as maybe number

617
00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:34,720
Speaker 9: three behind Henry and Josh Jacobs. I think he's better

618
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:37,320
Speaker 9: than say Kawan Barkley. You look at their stats over

619
00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:40,080
Speaker 9: the last several years. He's put up better status because

620
00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:43,040
Speaker 9: he's been more available than sa Kuon Barkley, who I

621
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:45,560
Speaker 9: look at a little bit like a Bear Sanders, a

622
00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:47,680
Speaker 9: guy that you know he makes those big plays, eighty

623
00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:49,960
Speaker 9: yard runs, but in between those big plays, he's lose.

624
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:52,840
Speaker 9: He's taking niggatve yards, Niggai two yard, Nigga three yard

625
00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:53,720
Speaker 9: because he's always.

626
00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:54,240
Speaker 8: Looking for the home run.

627
00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:56,800
Speaker 9: He's a classic home run, a strike out top of

628
00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:59,800
Speaker 9: running back. So I think Joe Mixon is more consistent

629
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:01,840
Speaker 9: a dual thread. And I just like the move that

630
00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:02,720
Speaker 9: the Texans are making.

631
00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:04,080
Speaker 4: Hopefully this is this is.

632
00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:05,800
Speaker 9: A move I'm thinking they maybe can bring in Maybe

633
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:09,720
Speaker 9: people ain't talking about bringing in Tyron Smith from the Cowboys.

634
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:11,479
Speaker 9: If he if he, if he gets you can get

635
00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:13,800
Speaker 9: him for a reasonable price. You bring him to the

636
00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:16,800
Speaker 9: Texans and put him right tackle. You got tons on

637
00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:20,000
Speaker 9: left tackle. You move tight as Howard in the in

638
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:23,159
Speaker 9: the guard, and you have your center position with a shrug,

639
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:26,200
Speaker 9: and then you have a Patterson right there.

640
00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:27,680
Speaker 8: Then you have a great office line.

641
00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:30,000
Speaker 1: They need a swing, don't they, Johnny, They need a swing.

642
00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:31,880
Speaker 2: Did you need to swing tackle? I mean, we haven't

643
00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:35,919
Speaker 2: heard about Charlie Heck or George Fant yet. I'd imagine

644
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:37,560
Speaker 2: they'll look at those two guys because obviously they have

645
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:40,480
Speaker 2: history with those two, so uh, they'll look They'll look there.

646
00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:44,800
Speaker 1: Man, Yeah, I think that's an embarrassment of riches right

647
00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:46,440
Speaker 1: there if you go for him. But O day, you

648
00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:48,920
Speaker 1: never know. By the way, drop diks are a call,

649
00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:51,520
Speaker 1: And yeah, you're right. Baltimore Kansas City one and two

650
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:55,240
Speaker 1: in the league in points per game allowed defensively, so

651
00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:58,719
Speaker 1: good point that, Hey, we talk about their offenses all

652
00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:01,760
Speaker 1: the time, Lamar Jackson, Patrick Mahomes. They had the top

653
00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:05,280
Speaker 1: two defenses in the league. And look who the Texans

654
00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:08,440
Speaker 1: are playing next year. They're playing in the Ravens at home,

655
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:11,560
Speaker 1: the Chiefs on the road. Look at the schedule, Aaron

656
00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:15,040
Speaker 1: Rodgers possibly, I guess you look at some of the

657
00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:17,920
Speaker 1: other quarterbacks that day, Vice president who was coming in.

658
00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:20,760
Speaker 1: You have the Dolphins offense, Tyreek Hill, all of it.

659
00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:23,160
Speaker 1: You've got to play great defense if you're going to

660
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:26,560
Speaker 1: do something here in twenty twenty four. And most importantly,

661
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:29,480
Speaker 1: you need to win your division. We all know that

662
00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:32,479
Speaker 1: the division wins. We all saw, we all felt that

663
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:36,520
Speaker 1: tie breaker formula coming down the stretch, how important it

664
00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:40,040
Speaker 1: was to have those division wins. So it is crucial

665
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:43,160
Speaker 1: to do that great stuff there. And as far as

666
00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:46,280
Speaker 1: the Barkley Mixon thing, look, Barkley's Barkley's great. If he's healthy,

667
00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:49,600
Speaker 1: he's great. We all know it, mixing you pointed it out.

668
00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:52,600
Speaker 1: He's been available, he's been mostly healthy. He's an over

669
00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:55,560
Speaker 1: thousand yard rusher. He catches the ball a ton more

670
00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:58,840
Speaker 1: than any Texans back since Arian Foster. And I'm not

671
00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:00,720
Speaker 1: saying he's gonna do that in this offense. But I'd

672
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:02,600
Speaker 1: be surprised if they didn't utilize them more in the

673
00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:05,800
Speaker 1: passing game than they did even with Motor last year.

674
00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:08,800
Speaker 1: All right, let's get to John next year on Texans

675
00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:13,440
Speaker 1: All Access. John, you are up. Good evening, Good evening, fellas.

676
00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:15,680
Speaker 10: Man, it's a really good day to be a Texans fan.

677
00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:19,080
Speaker 10: I know everybody was freaking out yesterday, Like anytime I

678
00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:21,800
Speaker 10: looked at Bleacher Reporter, it's just all the whining and

679
00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:22,880
Speaker 10: the negative stuff.

680
00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:24,720
Speaker 4: All it got so bad.

681
00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:29,160
Speaker 10: I started posting that that jiff on Everybody's on everybody's comments,

682
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:31,760
Speaker 10: that Daddy kill won, just to get everybody to calm down,

683
00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:34,640
Speaker 10: because I know Nick Sario freaking loves to go in

684
00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:35,400
Speaker 10: on day two.

685
00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:35,720
Speaker 11: Man.

686
00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:38,080
Speaker 10: Ah, I'm hikes.

687
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:40,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, It's it's hard not to be John, to be

688
00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:42,880
Speaker 2: honest with you, I mean when you look at and

689
00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:44,760
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm just you know, kind of scrolling through Twitter,

690
00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:46,520
Speaker 2: just making sure we don't miss anything.

691
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:48,479
Speaker 3: Because the way things happened last night.

692
00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:51,320
Speaker 2: We found about disease last night at about six twenty six,

693
00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:54,960
Speaker 2: twenty five, So you just keep refreshing. And I've heard

694
00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:56,600
Speaker 2: a lot of people tweet and text me about that,

695
00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:58,960
Speaker 2: and I just keep refreshing and like, yeah, what's what's.

696
00:30:58,800 --> 00:30:59,360
Speaker 3: Gonna be next?

697
00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:01,800
Speaker 2: And I remember last year we got Dalton Schultz and

698
00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:04,840
Speaker 2: Devin Singletary on the same day and thought, dang, wow,

699
00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:08,280
Speaker 2: that was okay. So I listened to the guys in

700
00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:10,520
Speaker 2: six ten and I love all I really do.

701
00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:11,600
Speaker 3: You know.

702
00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:13,280
Speaker 2: Clinton was mad at me because I was trying to

703
00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:15,520
Speaker 2: be too kind of lase fair and just hey, relax,

704
00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:18,520
Speaker 2: it's gonna be okay. It'll get figured out. Sway at

705
00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:21,200
Speaker 2: Demico and Nick have have thought this thing through. We'll

706
00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:23,440
Speaker 2: figure it out. And they figured it out. And they

707
00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:26,240
Speaker 2: figured it out today with the money they had, and

708
00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:29,120
Speaker 2: everybody was like, you got money, spend it, you got money,

709
00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:31,760
Speaker 2: spend it. Okay, they just did. They brought back a

710
00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:35,120
Speaker 2: home boy from out of Katie Morton Ranch. Yeah, coming here,

711
00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:39,560
Speaker 2: one of, if not the most. I watched the game

712
00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:42,440
Speaker 2: against the Bengals as soon as they signed him and

713
00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:44,280
Speaker 2: as soon as the news broke and I was like, Okay,

714
00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:45,520
Speaker 2: if I get the Bengals game, I can watch a

715
00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:48,560
Speaker 2: little Joe mixing too. And the Bengals didn't use mixing

716
00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:50,000
Speaker 2: in that game all that much. As much as they

717
00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:54,360
Speaker 2: probably could have. Danil Hunter is a spinning, chopping, ripping,

718
00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:56,160
Speaker 2: relentless wizard.

719
00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:57,120
Speaker 4: He is.

720
00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:02,520
Speaker 2: I mean, he's got past rush moves for days. His

721
00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:07,080
Speaker 2: closing speed on the quarterback is insane. And now, if

722
00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:09,560
Speaker 2: you're an offensive line and you're preparing for the Texans

723
00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:11,800
Speaker 2: and you get in pass rush situations, what are you

724
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:14,120
Speaker 2: gonna do when Ico Autry bumps inside and you have

725
00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:15,760
Speaker 2: Will and Daniel Hunter on the outside.

726
00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:16,479
Speaker 3: Think about this.

727
00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:20,320
Speaker 1: It's a problem if you're an offensive coordinator. They got

728
00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:23,920
Speaker 1: Will Anderson, they got Daniel Hunter, they got Autrey coming

729
00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:26,240
Speaker 1: off the pine or whatever they're doing with him. They've

730
00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:30,520
Speaker 1: got guys. Malik is no slouch either, getting surge up

731
00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:34,000
Speaker 1: the middle. Oh yeah, come on, I mean, oh my gosh,

732
00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:37,240
Speaker 1: I totally forgot about Oh yeah, Malik Davis making plays.

733
00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:40,120
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, we forgot about him. There's if you're

734
00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:42,480
Speaker 1: an offensive coordinator at this, start with the edge guys.

735
00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:44,760
Speaker 1: You gotta deal with them. You gotta deal with them.

736
00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:47,800
Speaker 1: So that's awesome. Cole. We'll get to you in a second.

737
00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:47,920
Speaker 4: Here.

738
00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:52,080
Speaker 1: One item on Barkley here, because I understand it. Hey,

739
00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:54,959
Speaker 1: you want a shiny new toy, saquon Barkley. I get it,

740
00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:58,440
Speaker 1: But at what point were you I don't get At

741
00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:00,960
Speaker 1: what point were you willing to go? Oh, if you're

742
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:04,360
Speaker 1: a fan or media member that's really really bitter about

743
00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:06,960
Speaker 1: losing Barkley. Are you bitter about losing Barkley because darn

744
00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:10,880
Speaker 1: it didn't get Barkley darn it or they got out bid?

745
00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:14,120
Speaker 1: You were willing to go to thirty eight million for Barkley?

746
00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:16,560
Speaker 1: You wanted to pay forty for bar I don't get it.

747
00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:19,880
Speaker 1: Where were you willing to go financially because that's what

748
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:22,800
Speaker 1: it was gonna take to get Barkley. We I don't

749
00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:26,040
Speaker 1: get that. I understand being disappointed. Uh to me, the

750
00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:28,760
Speaker 1: shocks this we gotta say something else that you didn't

751
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:31,560
Speaker 1: get Barkley. I get that, But are you really upset

752
00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:33,320
Speaker 1: that Nick didn't go to forty million?

753
00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:36,840
Speaker 2: Well, talking to Nick and Nick talking to a show

754
00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:39,400
Speaker 2: and I call him show, I'm gonna call him show,

755
00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:43,760
Speaker 2: I'm an call them show showing Clint afterwards, and I

756
00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:47,000
Speaker 2: got the point that it was it wasn't a show

757
00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:48,800
Speaker 2: said he said, wasn't so much about Barkley. It was

758
00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:50,600
Speaker 2: just at the fact that the running backs were all

759
00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:53,280
Speaker 2: all right, No, no, that's that's a fair point. Get

760
00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:55,480
Speaker 2: we talked about that ourselves. Hey, they got to concern

761
00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:56,640
Speaker 2: they got to get a running.

762
00:33:56,360 --> 00:33:57,840
Speaker 1: Back, right, they got they gotta get a running back,

763
00:33:57,840 --> 00:33:59,840
Speaker 1: and you gotta get several actually, but yet you wanted

764
00:33:59,880 --> 00:34:01,920
Speaker 1: to get it, but their guy. But they're gonna they

765
00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:05,040
Speaker 1: they're gonna find a way to find something that works

766
00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:07,920
Speaker 1: for this organization. That's the way they've done things, especially

767
00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:10,320
Speaker 1: since Demiko got here, and that's the way that it's happened.

768
00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:13,120
Speaker 1: Now here's the other thing with Barkley in particular, he's

769
00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:16,080
Speaker 1: from Pennsylvania or New Jersey. He went to penn State,

770
00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:17,600
Speaker 1: he played in New York.

771
00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:20,640
Speaker 2: He's got an opportunity to get more money than the

772
00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:24,319
Speaker 2: Texans were offering at the time. And he also said

773
00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:26,160
Speaker 2: he wanted to shot at the Giants twice a year.

774
00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:29,759
Speaker 2: So I mean, come on, you can't compete with that.

775
00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:32,279
Speaker 2: But you know what that did. That opens up to

776
00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:35,319
Speaker 2: go call Katie Texas owned tonil Hunter and say hey,

777
00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:35,719
Speaker 2: let's go.

778
00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:38,480
Speaker 3: Now we're ready, let's get this done. The only way.

779
00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:41,359
Speaker 2: It's a nearly fully guaranteed deal. He's here for two

780
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:46,200
Speaker 2: years and he's gonna turn thirty in October. But he's

781
00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:47,680
Speaker 2: played a lot of football. But he's played a lot

782
00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:49,120
Speaker 2: of really good football. And I know what I watched

783
00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:52,640
Speaker 2: at twenty twenty three. Dude's got plenty left and it didn.

784
00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:54,480
Speaker 1: Get a thousand yards last year, got banged up, but

785
00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:57,239
Speaker 1: that's okay. Three point nine per Kerry. Barkley's a good player. Yeah,

786
00:34:57,239 --> 00:34:59,839
Speaker 1: but I'm not saying Barkley's not. But buddy, I'm not listen.

787
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:02,000
Speaker 1: I would have liked Barkley too. I would have liked

788
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:03,960
Speaker 1: it if it happened. I don't like him for forty

789
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:05,479
Speaker 1: million though, No, I know.

790
00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:09,799
Speaker 2: But I think sometimes what I hear from fans and

791
00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:13,080
Speaker 2: from people, you know, they get really angsty about this,

792
00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:15,960
Speaker 2: and then it's like it's Nick's fault that that free

793
00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:18,919
Speaker 2: agent didn't sign here, and I'm like, whoa, No, that's

794
00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:22,440
Speaker 2: not all the good bit a good bid, and you

795
00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:25,520
Speaker 2: know what, glad it didn't go through, because if they

796
00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:27,759
Speaker 2: would put that money on Barkley, would they have been

797
00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:29,759
Speaker 2: able to get Daniel Hunter as well? I don't know,

798
00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:32,840
Speaker 2: and so certainly getting Joe Mixon at his deal, and

799
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:36,400
Speaker 2: Daniel Hunter would have rather had that than just Barkley.

800
00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:39,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, mixing and Daniel Hunt.

801
00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:41,719
Speaker 1: That is the trade off. Yeah, all right, let's get there.

802
00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:43,360
Speaker 3: They're gonna fear this defense.

803
00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:45,520
Speaker 1: Sorry, let's go cole on Texans All Access Euro Up.

804
00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:46,080
Speaker 1: What's happening?

805
00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:50,799
Speaker 11: Hey, how's it going guys? First off, I just want

806
00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:52,719
Speaker 11: to say I love what Nick's doing and have done

807
00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:55,719
Speaker 11: over the past two years. I never really understood why

808
00:35:55,719 --> 00:35:57,520
Speaker 11: people were just throwing their arms up and getting mad

809
00:35:57,520 --> 00:36:00,640
Speaker 11: over the first six hours after what we saw, especially

810
00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:02,680
Speaker 11: last year on what he did with Day two, but

811
00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:04,879
Speaker 11: after the free agent, after this signing with our free

812
00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:07,360
Speaker 11: agency class kind of shaping up. What do you see

813
00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:10,359
Speaker 11: as a position of needs on the team right now

814
00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:13,200
Speaker 11: and do you see that coming through the free agency

815
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:15,799
Speaker 11: or do you see that coming in the draft? Is

816
00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:18,640
Speaker 11: like a receiver like Brian Thomas or Keon Coleman in

817
00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:19,239
Speaker 11: the first round.

818
00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:22,200
Speaker 3: I let's just go.

819
00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:24,239
Speaker 2: Let's go position by position because its easier because I'll

820
00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:27,040
Speaker 2: leave a position out quarterback, no running back. I still

821
00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:28,680
Speaker 2: think they'll look in the draft. I think they've got

822
00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:30,040
Speaker 2: to find some young legs. I think they'll lay in

823
00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:33,880
Speaker 2: the draft. They absolutely have to sign team more running back.

824
00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:35,440
Speaker 2: I wouldn't sign a free agent wide receiver.

825
00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:38,040
Speaker 3: I wouldn't. This draft is loaded, go get it, you

826
00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:38,400
Speaker 3: bring it.

827
00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:40,279
Speaker 2: You brought back Noah Brown, You already got tanking Eco,

828
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:42,200
Speaker 2: Robert Woods is still in the roster. You got Mitchie,

829
00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:45,080
Speaker 2: and you got Xavier. Get one in the draft that

830
00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:48,040
Speaker 2: you know has dynamic abilities. And maybe Day one, Day

831
00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:52,240
Speaker 2: two with wide receivers off the line, no interior defensive line.

832
00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:56,879
Speaker 2: Maybe maybe in the draft defensive end. I think you're

833
00:36:56,880 --> 00:37:00,360
Speaker 2: probably pretty good right now. Linebacker, you you might to

834
00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:02,799
Speaker 2: get some more depth half uh. And I think the

835
00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:05,320
Speaker 2: one I'm getting to is corner. Yeah, I think corner

836
00:37:06,239 --> 00:37:09,160
Speaker 2: is one. Even with Acutera coming in, you still you

837
00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:12,000
Speaker 2: still need you just need bodies. Yeah, So I do think.

838
00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:14,320
Speaker 2: And the thing is with corner, I don't think corner

839
00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:17,000
Speaker 2: free agency is really kind of the way to go.

840
00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:20,480
Speaker 2: I think because this corner class is really really good

841
00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:22,879
Speaker 2: to me right now. If you went wide receiver, corner

842
00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:25,799
Speaker 2: or corner wide receiver in the first two rounds, shut down,

843
00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:26,320
Speaker 2: all right.

844
00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:28,600
Speaker 1: If you started a game this weekend, what would it

845
00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:30,600
Speaker 1: look like. We can get into that a little bit,

846
00:37:30,760 --> 00:37:33,440
Speaker 1: and we got plenty of calls to take here, people

847
00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:35,520
Speaker 1: who want to talk about what the Texans are doing,

848
00:37:35,600 --> 00:37:38,799
Speaker 1: What they need their thoughts on what they need. Nathaniel

849
00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:40,640
Speaker 1: and crew, you guys are all up, will go rapid

850
00:37:40,719 --> 00:37:43,879
Speaker 1: fire coming up here on Texans Radio. All right, Mark

851
00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:47,720
Speaker 1: Vandermer and John Harris. It is free agency frenzy. Texans

852
00:37:47,719 --> 00:37:51,520
Speaker 1: getting Daniel Hunter to play the edge, Will Anderson opposite him,

853
00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:56,440
Speaker 1: Joe Mixon earlier today, numerous other players agreeing to terms.

854
00:37:56,520 --> 00:38:00,879
Speaker 1: Official signings coming up. League year begins three Central tomorrow

855
00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:05,080
Speaker 1: and Johnny's reading me tweets during the break from people

856
00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:08,120
Speaker 1: in Jacksonville and other AFC South markets who are freaking

857
00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:10,719
Speaker 1: out over what the Texans are doing. And it's nice

858
00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:14,480
Speaker 1: when your competition is not happy at all with the

859
00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:17,080
Speaker 1: situation that the Texans are getting better. All right, I

860
00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:18,960
Speaker 1: want to take these calls. We ask for two calls.

861
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:21,480
Speaker 1: We're gonna do it. We're gonna do a rapid fire. Nathaniel,

862
00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:23,640
Speaker 1: you are up, good evening. What's happening?

863
00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:24,839
Speaker 12: All right?

864
00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:25,319
Speaker 1: What's going on?

865
00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:26,839
Speaker 13: I just want to say, man, I love to move

866
00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:29,879
Speaker 13: about Danielle Hunter. Of course, you know that's a great move.

867
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:33,640
Speaker 13: Great for our defense for sure, But the offense for Sore.

868
00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:35,000
Speaker 11: Is gonna be one thing I want to look at.

869
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:37,200
Speaker 13: Because like we said, you know, wide receiver is one

870
00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:39,000
Speaker 13: thing you know we should look at. You know, running

871
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:41,319
Speaker 13: back is awesome in this draft class is stack. You know,

872
00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:44,279
Speaker 13: people like Blake Korn from Michigan. You know, I want

873
00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:46,359
Speaker 13: to look at him as a Texan and of course,

874
00:38:46,360 --> 00:38:48,600
Speaker 13: you know, even like a Toney Mitchell from Texas. You know,

875
00:38:48,719 --> 00:38:51,560
Speaker 13: maybe he will go sooner than we expected. But who

876
00:38:51,560 --> 00:38:53,400
Speaker 13: knows what Nicks have got cooking up for sure?

877
00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:57,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, I mean I think with uh, I

878
00:38:57,160 --> 00:38:58,840
Speaker 2: think the more I think about it, the more I

879
00:38:58,840 --> 00:39:00,839
Speaker 2: feel like wide receiver in Corns are coming into view

880
00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:01,439
Speaker 2: at twenty three.

881
00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:03,359
Speaker 1: But I don't think we're picking at twenty three. By

882
00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:06,000
Speaker 1: the way, Well you think Nick's gonna move one way

883
00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:08,359
Speaker 1: or another? Move up, moved down. Let's go to Matt here.

884
00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:10,680
Speaker 1: Matt had a question about a running back, and we've

885
00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:12,120
Speaker 1: got the man to answer that question.

886
00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:12,359
Speaker 3: Matt.

887
00:39:12,360 --> 00:39:12,719
Speaker 1: What's up?

888
00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:14,960
Speaker 10: Yeah, thank you guys for getting me on.

889
00:39:15,040 --> 00:39:17,440
Speaker 6: And it's a good thing you guys are starting to

890
00:39:17,440 --> 00:39:20,680
Speaker 6: take calls. Did this once last year and I got

891
00:39:20,680 --> 00:39:23,520
Speaker 6: on with Johnny and we talked about the quarterback situation,

892
00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:27,360
Speaker 6: and I was very adamant about getting CJ.

893
00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:29,319
Speaker 4: And I'm glad that it.

894
00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:32,120
Speaker 6: All worked out and that the Panthers screwed it up

895
00:39:32,560 --> 00:39:35,920
Speaker 6: for themselves and we were the beneficiary. What I was

896
00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:38,759
Speaker 6: going to say, it looks like they're spending most of

897
00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:42,280
Speaker 6: the money on the defense, so that leaves for the draft,

898
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:44,760
Speaker 6: and I assume they're going to get a corner. Xavion

899
00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:46,439
Speaker 6: Howard would be, you know, a little bit of money,

900
00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:48,400
Speaker 6: but probably not much. He might give us a discount,

901
00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:51,920
Speaker 6: get the corner locked up in free agency, and then

902
00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:56,040
Speaker 6: you can target Brian Thomas Jr. Possibly in the first round.

903
00:39:56,080 --> 00:39:58,560
Speaker 6: And then there's a back that I hope you've looked at.

904
00:39:59,120 --> 00:40:01,960
Speaker 6: Johnny tre Benson Florida State ran a four to three

905
00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:02,800
Speaker 6: nine at two hundred.

906
00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:06,879
Speaker 3: He's my number one. He's my number as well, Buddy, Yep.

907
00:40:07,600 --> 00:40:10,400
Speaker 3: Absolutely appreciate it. Thank you, John, great talking to you.

908
00:40:10,480 --> 00:40:12,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, Trey Bens is my number one running back at

909
00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:14,200
Speaker 2: football Football takeover dot com. Go check it out, Harris.

910
00:40:14,200 --> 00:40:17,520
Speaker 2: One hundreds posting this week. One hundred through seventy six

911
00:40:17,560 --> 00:40:19,719
Speaker 2: are posting, probably on Thursday. I wanted to get it

912
00:40:19,760 --> 00:40:22,520
Speaker 2: beyond the free agency, so I'm posting it pieces. It

913
00:40:22,520 --> 00:40:24,040
Speaker 2: has to be at pieces because it's one hundred and

914
00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:25,439
Speaker 2: fifty page document on its own.

915
00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:28,080
Speaker 3: So, yeah, Trey Bns is my number one out of

916
00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:28,520
Speaker 3: Florida State.

917
00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:31,120
Speaker 1: When's he going? But it depends though, I.

918
00:40:31,120 --> 00:40:33,640
Speaker 3: Mean fifty nine would be the spot. I think fifty

919
00:40:33,719 --> 00:40:34,080
Speaker 3: nine is.

920
00:40:34,719 --> 00:40:36,520
Speaker 2: I think the second round is when you start getting

921
00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:38,759
Speaker 2: the value in the running backs they catch. Yeah, I

922
00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:41,520
Speaker 2: think he can. He's got some explosive speed. I mean

923
00:40:41,560 --> 00:40:44,440
Speaker 2: he is really funny to watch, six foot two, fifteen

924
00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:48,560
Speaker 2: can move. I think you would fit the system really well.

925
00:40:48,920 --> 00:40:52,040
Speaker 2: Had a terrible, terrible knee injury back at Oregon and

926
00:40:52,080 --> 00:40:55,000
Speaker 2: he left, got his knee right, ended up at Florida State,

927
00:40:55,080 --> 00:40:57,840
Speaker 2: became the belcow Trey Benz at Florida State. Jonathan Brooks

928
00:40:57,920 --> 00:41:00,879
Speaker 2: is repairing an ACL. He would have been RB one

929
00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:04,000
Speaker 2: for me, but at ACL just don't know. And then

930
00:41:04,040 --> 00:41:06,200
Speaker 2: you've got the guys like Blake Korn, Will Shipley that

931
00:41:06,280 --> 00:41:07,719
Speaker 2: a lot of people will not just because they played

932
00:41:07,719 --> 00:41:11,120
Speaker 2: at Michigan and Clemson. Those guys I think are really

933
00:41:11,120 --> 00:41:13,040
Speaker 2: really good backs if you want to go later in

934
00:41:13,040 --> 00:41:16,000
Speaker 2: the draft. I saw a guy at i'd senior boy,

935
00:41:16,040 --> 00:41:18,879
Speaker 2: really liked Dan Lobby from out of New Hampshire caught

936
00:41:18,880 --> 00:41:21,400
Speaker 2: twelve walls two ninety five against your chips, fire up,

937
00:41:21,480 --> 00:41:24,440
Speaker 2: chips couldn't cover him. Twelve passes for two ninety five. Oh,

938
00:41:24,719 --> 00:41:27,440
Speaker 2: he was all over the place. This guy's he's a beast.

939
00:41:27,640 --> 00:41:31,160
Speaker 2: So I think there are some running back options. That's

940
00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:31,760
Speaker 2: what I'm saying.

941
00:41:31,800 --> 00:41:34,080
Speaker 1: You get to that level of football, sometimes you'll get

942
00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:36,680
Speaker 1: a player that just destroys you. I remember when I

943
00:41:36,680 --> 00:41:39,480
Speaker 1: was at UMass. I call the game against Villanova, right,

944
00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:42,560
Speaker 1: finner In was on the team. Yeah, yeah, yeah, and

945
00:41:42,600 --> 00:41:45,440
Speaker 1: Westbrook was on the team. Oh god, Westbrook caught I

946
00:41:45,480 --> 00:41:48,600
Speaker 1: don't know, twenty passes. You know, you just you just

947
00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:50,600
Speaker 1: send him out. Yeah, I don't even know if he

948
00:41:50,640 --> 00:41:53,439
Speaker 1: was running patterns. Just go out for a pass. We'll

949
00:41:53,520 --> 00:41:56,439
Speaker 1: find you. And the quarterback was pretty good. I forget

950
00:41:56,440 --> 00:41:58,000
Speaker 1: who it was. He didn't play in the league or anything,

951
00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:00,839
Speaker 1: but they just destroyed us. All right, let's get to

952
00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:04,239
Speaker 1: Demitrius here on Texans Radio. What's up, Demetrius?

953
00:42:04,920 --> 00:42:08,560
Speaker 14: Hey, guys, I just want to say I'm excited about

954
00:42:08,719 --> 00:42:11,000
Speaker 14: what Nick is doing over there, but I do have

955
00:42:11,040 --> 00:42:12,000
Speaker 14: two questions for you.

956
00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:12,640
Speaker 4: John.

957
00:42:13,239 --> 00:42:15,839
Speaker 14: First question is how do you feel about bringing Zach

958
00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:20,360
Speaker 14: Cunningham back to show up the linebacking corps? And also

959
00:42:21,960 --> 00:42:24,600
Speaker 14: what I think we're gonna get uh, We're gonna move

960
00:42:24,680 --> 00:42:28,560
Speaker 14: up and get Quillan Mitchell for the cornerback in the draft.

961
00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:32,040
Speaker 14: But how do you feel about ad Mitchell or that

962
00:42:32,239 --> 00:42:33,720
Speaker 14: you're worthy in the second round?

963
00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:33,960
Speaker 4: Sure?

964
00:42:33,960 --> 00:42:34,200
Speaker 3: All right?

965
00:42:34,239 --> 00:42:37,359
Speaker 1: Before you answer, Cunningham, okay, and thanks for the call.

966
00:42:38,120 --> 00:42:42,680
Speaker 1: I I would I would say never or no, but

967
00:42:42,800 --> 00:42:46,200
Speaker 1: I never thought Lonnie would be back. So you and look,

968
00:42:46,480 --> 00:42:49,000
Speaker 1: I love lot We we love Lonnie. It's just Lonnie.

969
00:42:49,080 --> 00:42:49,520
Speaker 3: You know.

970
00:42:49,920 --> 00:42:52,160
Speaker 1: It didn't work out here, but maybe it works out

971
00:42:52,200 --> 00:42:55,040
Speaker 1: this time. Let's see what did he tweet. He tweeted

972
00:42:55,120 --> 00:42:57,480
Speaker 1: something to you. He said, hey, it worked for Akins,

973
00:42:57,600 --> 00:42:58,560
Speaker 1: it worked for Daz.

974
00:42:58,920 --> 00:43:00,840
Speaker 2: I want to come in and be humble and a

975
00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:02,960
Speaker 2: parafet phrasing and get it right the second time.

976
00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:05,319
Speaker 3: So I'm like, all right, it were goods big and.

977
00:43:05,360 --> 00:43:06,319
Speaker 1: Dees is back again.

978
00:43:06,360 --> 00:43:06,879
Speaker 3: I love Dez.

979
00:43:07,560 --> 00:43:09,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not sure about Zach. But he was asking

980
00:43:09,560 --> 00:43:11,200
Speaker 2: about the Texas receivers in the second round. I don't

981
00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:12,880
Speaker 2: think you get him in the second round. I think

982
00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:15,040
Speaker 2: they're both gone before you pick at fifty nine. Now,

983
00:43:15,320 --> 00:43:19,160
Speaker 2: could you trade up as you have in previous drafts?

984
00:43:19,239 --> 00:43:21,520
Speaker 2: Trade up to get Mechi? You traded up to get Nico.

985
00:43:21,719 --> 00:43:24,160
Speaker 2: You've traded up to get receivers before. Could you trade

986
00:43:24,239 --> 00:43:27,880
Speaker 2: up into that realm and get close? Yeah, But the

987
00:43:27,960 --> 00:43:29,719
Speaker 2: problem is, I think both of them are gone. I've

988
00:43:29,760 --> 00:43:31,440
Speaker 2: got I've got both of them. I think I have

989
00:43:31,880 --> 00:43:33,719
Speaker 2: Worthy at twenty three, my Harris one hundred. I think

990
00:43:33,719 --> 00:43:35,600
Speaker 2: I have Mitchell at like thirty one or thirty two.

991
00:43:36,040 --> 00:43:38,719
Speaker 2: So it's gonna be tough to keep to get to

992
00:43:38,760 --> 00:43:40,719
Speaker 2: those guys if you don't take him at twenty three. Now,

993
00:43:40,760 --> 00:43:44,319
Speaker 2: if you trade down from twenty three down to thirty one,

994
00:43:44,400 --> 00:43:46,640
Speaker 2: thirty two, or maybe even to the second early second round,

995
00:43:46,719 --> 00:43:48,200
Speaker 2: you could have a shot at getting one of them.

996
00:43:48,200 --> 00:43:48,560
Speaker 3: But I don't.

997
00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:51,279
Speaker 2: It's gonna be tough to sit there pick somebody at

998
00:43:51,280 --> 00:43:53,919
Speaker 2: twenty three. Oh he said, Quenya Mitchell too. Don't tell

999
00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:56,200
Speaker 2: me with a good time. You bring me Quinyan Mitchell

1000
00:43:56,640 --> 00:43:59,120
Speaker 2: from out of Toledo and put him opposite Sting. At

1001
00:43:59,160 --> 00:44:02,560
Speaker 2: some point those two of the Kudas were round. Oh,

1002
00:44:02,600 --> 00:44:06,280
Speaker 2: Quinny Mitchill was top fifteen. Oh well well wait, wait

1003
00:44:06,719 --> 00:44:09,759
Speaker 2: depends on when the quarterback running back, Yeah, quarterback wide

1004
00:44:09,760 --> 00:44:13,040
Speaker 2: receiver off the soccerne there's gonna be a run and

1005
00:44:13,040 --> 00:44:15,160
Speaker 2: then all the defensive players are going to just keep falling.

1006
00:44:15,239 --> 00:44:17,200
Speaker 2: And I think that that that's where twenty three, that's

1007
00:44:17,200 --> 00:44:18,440
Speaker 2: where defensive players fall off.

1008
00:44:18,560 --> 00:44:21,080
Speaker 1: That's where Nick might want to move up yep, to

1009
00:44:21,120 --> 00:44:23,719
Speaker 1: go grab them, and he's gonna plant those seeds. But

1010
00:44:23,800 --> 00:44:27,520
Speaker 1: right now he's busy signing players. Yep, Alex, you are last,

1011
00:44:27,560 --> 00:44:29,840
Speaker 1: but not least on Texans Radio tonight. What's up, Alex?

1012
00:44:32,840 --> 00:44:40,280
Speaker 12: So basically me and myself, I think that the beloved

1013
00:44:40,280 --> 00:44:44,920
Speaker 12: to Houston Texans are making a going all beast mode

1014
00:44:45,280 --> 00:44:52,080
Speaker 12: and uh and uh and I mean this's just this

1015
00:44:52,239 --> 00:44:56,479
Speaker 12: recent signing. I think it's a great move by Nick

1016
00:44:56,640 --> 00:44:59,719
Speaker 12: and I believe that that.

1017
00:45:00,520 --> 00:45:01,080
Speaker 6: I think.

1018
00:45:02,920 --> 00:45:12,200
Speaker 12: Trying to see about maybe brnian a veteran corner, maybe

1019
00:45:12,239 --> 00:45:17,000
Speaker 12: like Gilmore for the right price.

1020
00:45:17,680 --> 00:45:20,400
Speaker 1: And I don't know what he's got left, Alex. We

1021
00:45:20,880 --> 00:45:23,360
Speaker 1: gotta run there. But I want to make a promo

1022
00:45:23,480 --> 00:45:26,360
Speaker 1: out of the Texans are going beast mode because you

1023
00:45:26,360 --> 00:45:29,480
Speaker 1: said it very calmly, and it's beast mode. I didn't

1024
00:45:29,480 --> 00:45:31,960
Speaker 1: say the Texans are going best mode, but the way

1025
00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:33,960
Speaker 1: you said it calmly kind of got me fired up. Yeah,

1026
00:45:34,040 --> 00:45:34,879
Speaker 1: just being honest here.

1027
00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:36,960
Speaker 2: As far as a veteran corner I said earlier, like

1028
00:45:37,000 --> 00:45:40,680
Speaker 2: free agency. I mean, I got a feeling that this

1029
00:45:40,719 --> 00:45:43,359
Speaker 2: happens every year. Now you're getting the thirty year old,

1030
00:45:43,440 --> 00:45:45,319
Speaker 2: thirty one year old, thirty two year old that kind

1031
00:45:45,320 --> 00:45:47,879
Speaker 2: of just waits through training camp and waits to see

1032
00:45:47,880 --> 00:45:50,319
Speaker 2: where there's gonna end up being an injury or an opportunity,

1033
00:45:50,600 --> 00:45:52,600
Speaker 2: and then boom, you marry him together in a way

1034
00:45:52,640 --> 00:45:54,399
Speaker 2: you go and we've seen that, We've seen that here.

1035
00:45:54,600 --> 00:45:57,320
Speaker 2: We've seen that happen here, especially last year. So I

1036
00:45:57,360 --> 00:45:58,799
Speaker 2: don't know if I do give more now, I don't

1037
00:45:58,840 --> 00:46:00,959
Speaker 2: know what the price tag would be, but I would

1038
00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:03,120
Speaker 2: imagine Nick probably knows him from his days in New England,

1039
00:46:03,280 --> 00:46:07,399
Speaker 2: so there's probably some familiarity there. So yeah, really really

1040
00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:09,520
Speaker 2: excellent show man. You guys calling in. That was awesome.

1041
00:46:09,520 --> 00:46:11,319
Speaker 1: That was awesome. You know what, We're gonna take calls

1042
00:46:11,320 --> 00:46:11,920
Speaker 1: more off IP.

1043
00:46:11,960 --> 00:46:12,359
Speaker 3: That's it.

1044
00:46:12,560 --> 00:46:15,160
Speaker 1: I've decided we are going to take calls. This is

1045
00:46:15,200 --> 00:46:17,399
Speaker 1: a great time in the history of the franchise. Let's

1046
00:46:17,400 --> 00:46:19,600
Speaker 1: do it. One week from tonight, we're at Momentum BMW.
