1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,840
Speaker 1: What's happened to everybody? Happy Wednesday to all of you

2
00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:07,320
Speaker 1: out there, one week away from training camp. Let me repeat,

3
00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:13,280
Speaker 1: we are one week away this time, seven days from now.

4
00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:16,360
Speaker 1: Mark Vandermire and I your host, John Harris, will be

5
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:21,599
Speaker 1: sitting in studio discussing the first day of practice for

6
00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:24,319
Speaker 1: your Houston Texans. How does that sound all of you

7
00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:25,919
Speaker 1: out there, Mark vandermir how does that sound?

8
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:27,800
Speaker 2: Sounds great? Johnny, let's go, let's go.

9
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:31,400
Speaker 3: It's going to be a long two weeks before the

10
00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:33,599
Speaker 3: first preseason game. And by two weeks, I mean two

11
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:36,559
Speaker 3: and a half weeks. Because you start on a Wednesday,

12
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:39,680
Speaker 3: you don't play till three weeks from Saturday. As it

13
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:41,519
Speaker 3: stands now, it'll be two weeks from Saturday when you

14
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 3: start next week. You have three extra practices. I really

15
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 3: thought they'd begin practice on maybe Friday or Saturday prior

16
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:51,000
Speaker 3: to that game, or two weeks prior to that game.

17
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 3: But this is the way it is, and they'll just

18
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 3: work it out. I mean, this is allowed by the league,

19
00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 3: and I think it's good for the team because you know,

20
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:00,920
Speaker 3: you want more of a ramp up, and I think

21
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 3: that's playing into this.

22
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:02,440
Speaker 2: Johnny.

23
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:04,040
Speaker 3: It's not like the old days where you can get

24
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 3: into pads third day or fourth day. I think they're

25
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 3: probably gonna go pads. What Monday or Tuesday.

26
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 1: That's that's what we been in the first two years.

27
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:14,959
Speaker 1: That's what the pattern has been. Yeah, go the first

28
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:19,480
Speaker 1: four days in shorts and T shirts, helmets, Sunday a

29
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:22,959
Speaker 1: day off or a day off, and then pads, because

30
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:24,679
Speaker 1: I think for a while is every it was the

31
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:26,760
Speaker 1: first three days, then pads and everybody. I remember a

32
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:28,559
Speaker 1: couple of years ago it's like, oh, man Di Miko

33
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 1: is ready to bang, let's go. It's day four, and

34
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 1: all a sudden, there's shorts T shirts again.

35
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:32,479
Speaker 2: We're like, wait what.

36
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:35,319
Speaker 3: And that might be collectively bargaining something maybe so And

37
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:39,760
Speaker 3: the ramp up has shorter practices, So Wednesday, whatever we

38
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 3: get is gonna be shorter than what you would think

39
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 3: for a training camp practice or what you'd what you

40
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 3: would traditionally think I should say. But whatever it is,

41
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 3: we'll be able to talk about it. They'll be slinging it,

42
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 3: they'll be going eleven on eleven, and it'll be fun

43
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 3: to watch.

44
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 1: It definitely is gonna be fun to watch. And speaking

45
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 1: of watch, I think one of the things I wanted

46
00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 1: to hit. There's two things I wanted to hit, and

47
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 1: I wan's start here about watching the game. And I

48
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 1: think they're gonna be more eyes and cameras on this

49
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 1: game of football that we have in the NFL going forward,

50
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:12,239
Speaker 1: and it's something that we've talked about for a long

51
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 1: long time. I think it's going to be really fascinating

52
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 1: the things that change, in particular the measurement of the

53
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:26,799
Speaker 1: football first and ten second, in one fourth, in inches,

54
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 1: all those kind of things I think are going to

55
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 1: change this year in significantly.

56
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 3: Well they are, and the league is going to use

57
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:37,359
Speaker 3: a virtual measurement system. They're using six cameras that are

58
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:40,119
Speaker 3: eight K all of them, so this is real high

59
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 3: definition and they're in every NFL stadium. And this is

60
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:46,839
Speaker 3: another reason why you can't just play a preseason one

61
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 3: off at you know, let's play one at the Horseshoe,

62
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 3: at the Big House wherever. You'd have to implement all

63
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 3: this stuff because they want to test drive everything during

64
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:57,800
Speaker 3: the preseason. Now, they tested this system last year in

65
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 3: the preseason. They're going with it all throughout the regular

66
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 3: season this year, and it starts with the preseason. These

67
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 3: six eight K cameras, and it works kind of like

68
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 3: the tennis system where you see the ball on the

69
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:11,960
Speaker 3: line or not off the line, and it's all about

70
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,520
Speaker 3: the start of the spot of the ball. They'll spot

71
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:16,399
Speaker 3: the ball, let'say at the twenty two yard line after

72
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 3: a play, right, and now all the cameras they got that,

73
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 3: and is it a first down or not? You know,

74
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 3: down the line is third down, whatever down it is.

75
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 3: Now we got to measure it well. The cameras will

76
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,080
Speaker 3: have that exact measurement between the six of them. And

77
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 3: it's way better than sticking the chain. Now, the chain

78
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 3: is cool, it's got a little suspense to it. You

79
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 3: bring the chain out, it's a traditional thing. But where

80
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 3: do you anchor the chain?

81
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 2: Right?

82
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 3: Well, I see it down the line. I see the

83
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 3: little marker and it's going to be here, you know.

84
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 3: But a yard line, as we all know, is not

85
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 3: you know, one little fine hair line. It's it's got

86
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:55,120
Speaker 3: a few inches to it a yard line. So this

87
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 3: will have an exact measurement. You don't need the chain anymore.

88
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 3: They'll still have the chains for or the visual for

89
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 3: the coaches. We need this much for a first down.

90
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 3: I got a conception, so it'll be a shame.

91
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 1: But they can put like that yellow or that orange

92
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 1: strip that they.

93
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, but no, there will be guys with the sticks

94
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 3: on the sideline. They'll still have the sticks because if

95
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 3: the system malfunctions, they got to go back to that.

96
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 3: They got to go back to it. Now, here's the

97
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 3: other thing. I was on a league call and they

98
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 3: talked about this. This is gonna be cool for the

99
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 3: football viewer, and we are all football viewers, and in

100
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 3: the stadium or not in the stadium, this is how

101
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 3: it's going to be done.

102
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 2: On the video board.

103
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 3: Every stadium has at this stage a gigantic video board. Yes,

104
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:35,600
Speaker 3: is it a first down or not? Let's look up

105
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 3: and see. It's only going to be in the case

106
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 3: of reviews. They're not going to spot the ball for

107
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 3: the officials every down. So in other words, if you

108
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 3: ran for six yards on a first down and sometimes

109
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:48,680
Speaker 3: I beef about the spot, hey, then he give us

110
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 3: the full six. They gave us five and a half.

111
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 3: These things add up over time. Right, you can't challenge that.

112
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:56,040
Speaker 3: You can't review that, and they're not gonna show that.

113
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,839
Speaker 3: They're only going to show it in the case of review.

114
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 3: We are getting a challenge as to whether this is

115
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 3: a first down or not. Now we have to go

116
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 3: to the board and we'll all look at the board

117
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:07,559
Speaker 3: together and see if it's short.

118
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:10,159
Speaker 1: Okay, so does that does it have to be a

119
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:12,360
Speaker 1: review or does it? Or can it be close? Like

120
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:16,480
Speaker 1: Bill Vinovich looks down the line and goes, I don't know,

121
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:18,600
Speaker 1: they're not going to trot the chains out.

122
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:20,800
Speaker 2: No, they won't shot trot the hine out.

123
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 3: My understanding is for that, that's an officials review, officials, measurement,

124
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 3: officials a call for that, right for that, Yeah, they

125
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 3: can call for that because they can.

126
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 1: That'll act as a it's not a it's not a

127
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 1: coach's challenge or Demiko feels like the opponent was awarded

128
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 1: a first down when they shouldn't have been awarded a

129
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:39,280
Speaker 1: first down.

130
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:41,359
Speaker 3: That happened last year, Right, he can challenge that. He

131
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 3: can challenge it. And now we're going to get a

132
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 3: look at it on the board. And again it's got

133
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 3: to be in the first down or not category or

134
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:50,160
Speaker 3: touchdown or not. It can't be was it six or

135
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:51,920
Speaker 3: seven yards and it's now going to be second and

136
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:53,040
Speaker 3: three or two or whatever?

137
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 1: So no, I get that, Okay. So six eight K cameras.

138
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:00,480
Speaker 2: Six eight K cameras.

139
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 3: That's a devoted just to measurement, just for measurement, nothing

140
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 3: else that's high depths.

141
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:08,480
Speaker 1: And Shane will still be down there, like you said,

142
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:11,280
Speaker 1: if there's a malfunction or whatever the case might be.

143
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 3: Now here's the other thing. They're adding a lot more

144
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 3: cameras for other purposes, and that would be replay.

145
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 2: All right, We're.

146
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 3: Gonna have goal line camps, any cameras in every stadium

147
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:27,920
Speaker 3: that will be there for replay purposes. Now, replay doesn't

148
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:31,600
Speaker 3: mean review necessarily as far as challenge. It just means

149
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:35,040
Speaker 3: review as far as hey touchdown, it was close, they

150
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,599
Speaker 3: awarded it. Did he get across the goal line or not.

151
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:40,719
Speaker 3: You know, we review every store. So now if he

152
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 3: got to the one inch line and we think he

153
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 3: got in, but they said he's down at the one

154
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:48,480
Speaker 3: inch line, the officials call was that, Now you get

155
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 3: a challenge. Yeah, right, But score is automatic, automatic review.

156
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 3: Those automatic reviews will have the benefit of these additional

157
00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:58,920
Speaker 3: cameras that are four K that are going to get

158
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:03,279
Speaker 3: a great look and stationed in key spots. Saying every

159
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 3: stadium in the NFL, Now you're not gonna automatically see

160
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 3: them Monday Night Football, CBS, Fox, whatever. They're not gonna

161
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 3: have access to these cameras unless there is a review, right,

162
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 3: because that makes sense. Yeah, so it's not like Collinsworth

163
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 3: wants to see what the cameras. No, no, no, no, you

164
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 3: don't get access to that unless there's an official review.

165
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:25,200
Speaker 3: In other words, if you see an official quote under

166
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 3: the hood, yeah, you're gonna get the benefit of all

167
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 3: those looks.

168
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 1: Okay, but TV wise, we're gonna see the TV's So

169
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 1: these are these the TV companies cameras. These are the

170
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 1: NFL's cameras NFL camps that go into the NFL replay

171
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 1: system in addition to I think they have access to

172
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 1: everything with the replay step. Well that that I think

173
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 1: has to be and hopefully that'll be made clear through

174
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 1: broadcasts and certain things throughout the year that what replays

175
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 1: you're seeing at home might not ultimately be what the

176
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:56,800
Speaker 1: NFL is looking at by the replow.

177
00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 3: That's always been the case, right, because the TV truck

178
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:04,240
Speaker 3: is not doing it for the officials anymore. Right, this

179
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 3: this stopped years ago. Right, The officials have their own

180
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 3: control of whatever looks they did get right now. There's

181
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 3: this Hawkeye system that went into effect a few years

182
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 3: ago and then for the preseason games. And since we

183
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 3: this is part of what I do, you know, hiring

184
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 3: the company that does the trucking and all that they

185
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 3: have to plug in to every stadium system, the views

186
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 3: that they get, so replay can benefit from those very

187
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 3: quickly and control what they see so they're not at

188
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 3: the mercy of whatever you're showing for a replay while

189
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:38,200
Speaker 3: you're showing some sponsored elements, like I need to see

190
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:41,600
Speaker 3: that receivers catch again to determine whether it's.

191
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:43,839
Speaker 1: Good because what I want to not happen. No, it

192
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 1: didn't happen to the Texans, so I'm like, okay, whatever,

193
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:49,320
Speaker 1: but I want to say it was forty nine Ers

194
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 1: Rams or Seahawks Rams. Can't remember what night it was.

195
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:58,359
Speaker 1: It was a Thursday night game and it's Amazon, so Amazon,

196
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:02,440
Speaker 1: you would think they're a camera everywhere. Well, there's a

197
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 1: punt and the ball bounced and it bounced off of

198
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 1: at least it was thought at the time the ball

199
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 1: had bounced off of a returner or somebody on the

200
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:16,720
Speaker 1: return team. They ended up signaling that it was not

201
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:21,560
Speaker 1: a fumble. Okay, and so they ended up looking at

202
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 1: all the replays and it was challenged because it was

203
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 1: not called turnover. Yeah, so the play was challenged, came

204
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:31,000
Speaker 1: back out of the booth play stands, they went and

205
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:35,079
Speaker 1: took a break, came back, and once they came back

206
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:37,960
Speaker 1: from the break, everybody was like, wait a second, it

207
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 1: was it was actually a little bit later they showed

208
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 1: a view that showed that yes, it actually indeed had

209
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 1: hit somebody in the return team. It should have been

210
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:52,080
Speaker 1: a turnover. But they didn't have that angle at the

211
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 1: time to be able to make that decision.

212
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 2: Now they'd probably have a good right exactly.

213
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:58,080
Speaker 1: And that's the one thing that I want them to

214
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 1: be able to have. Like, I don't care where this

215
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 1: is gonna sound strange, what the viewer gets at home,

216
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 1: I don't really care about. I mean I do as

217
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 1: a fan. I want to get all the different angles

218
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:12,760
Speaker 1: and all that kind of stuff. I want the decision makers,

219
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:15,960
Speaker 1: the replay and the review people to have the best

220
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 1: possible access to everything if.

221
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 3: They're reviewing it, though, the network will have access to

222
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 3: what they're looking at.

223
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:23,400
Speaker 1: Right, whether the network has it or not, I just

224
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:25,680
Speaker 1: want them to be able to have that. Yeah, because

225
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:27,680
Speaker 1: I just remember when that happened, and I was like, man,

226
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:31,400
Speaker 1: that that can't happen. That can't happen. The NFL has

227
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 1: got to have every single and this is that's what

228
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 1: this is doing. This is getting like you said, they're

229
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 1: gonna be cameras and key areas down the goal line,

230
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:42,320
Speaker 1: thank god, down the goal line back line. I would

231
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 1: imagine there's another one where you can get an angle,

232
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:45,240
Speaker 1: a good angle.

233
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 3: They estimated they needed twelve to get all the looks

234
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 3: they want that because you think about it, I would imagine,

235
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:55,360
Speaker 3: you know, one sideline cannot be one camera. It's got

236
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:59,080
Speaker 3: to be sidelined from end zone to the fifty the

237
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:01,640
Speaker 3: other way. So there's what three four, and then you

238
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:05,080
Speaker 3: have go line both ways five six seven eight five six,

239
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 3: all right, so that's twelve.

240
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:07,400
Speaker 2: That's twelve. That's twelve.

241
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:11,520
Speaker 3: You get both sidelines fifty and in you got goal

242
00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:14,600
Speaker 3: line back line, both views each side.

243
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 2: Yep.

244
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 3: Now that's twelve cameras twelve and that would be it.

245
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:21,360
Speaker 3: That then I think you'd be covered. I've always called you.

246
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 3: And you're still not gonna get perfect because you're gonna

247
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 3: have guys, you know, running back trying to get into

248
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 3: the end zone is often covered up by people.

249
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 1: Where is the ball, especially when you get a like

250
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:36,480
Speaker 1: a quarterback sneak or you're just running a belly play,

251
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 1: like right into the you know, the toush.

252
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 2: Push, right.

253
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 1: Can you see where Jalen hurts is? Yeah, exactly like

254
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 1: they're there are green jerseys and white jerseys, and you're like.

255
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 3: In our in our time, you know there's gonna be though.

256
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 3: This is this is me playing Leonardo da Vinci, who

257
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:56,080
Speaker 3: actually invented a helicopter, but he couldn't build one. Right,

258
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 3: So I'm inventing this, but I can't build it. The

259
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:02,600
Speaker 3: football will have some sort of people talk about a chip. Look,

260
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:04,560
Speaker 3: one chip is not gonna do it. You have to

261
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:08,320
Speaker 3: have the whole ball somehow with this material on the

262
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:11,960
Speaker 3: interior of it. Right, And now you can X ray

263
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:14,920
Speaker 3: through the bodies and there's the ball and it's over

264
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:17,040
Speaker 3: the goal line. That we have something like that in

265
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:19,079
Speaker 3: our life, something's got to happen. I'm gonna live long

266
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:20,200
Speaker 3: enough to see it, Johnny.

267
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 1: That's got that's got to happen. Because and the thing

268
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:25,440
Speaker 1: about it is is you can't just put one chip

269
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:28,559
Speaker 1: in the middle of the ball because the rule is

270
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:32,440
Speaker 1: if the nose in the football touches the line.

271
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:37,480
Speaker 3: Roethlisberger in the zero five Super Bowl, he went over

272
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 3: the top, I believe, and the ball just kissed that,

273
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:43,920
Speaker 3: all right, Just a little pucker up on the on

274
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 3: the plane and that's all you need. Just a little

275
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 3: tiny molecule across the plane. Yeah, you're in, and that's

276
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:52,680
Speaker 3: all you need. I remember speaking Roethlisberger. I remember Roethlisberg

277
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:55,839
Speaker 3: against the Ravens one night on a Sunday night in Baltimore.

278
00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 3: It's like a nine to seven game or something like

279
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:00,439
Speaker 3: our twelve seven or something like that. They got to

280
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 3: score a touchdown under a minute, and he throws the

281
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 3: Santonio Holmes in the end zone. Now everybody remembers Roethlisberger

282
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:07,439
Speaker 3: and the homes in the back of the end zone

283
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 3: the Super Bowl against Cardinals.

284
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 1: This is the front of the end zone. So Santonio's

285
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:14,200
Speaker 1: momentum is carrying him out of the end zone, right,

286
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:18,960
Speaker 1: and so Roethlisberger just he just I mean, he darts one.

287
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 1: Santonio catches it, and he body catches it to make

288
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:23,920
Speaker 1: sure he's got it, because there are like three Ravens

289
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:27,600
Speaker 1: about to hit him, including Ray Lewis and when he

290
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:29,960
Speaker 1: catches it, all his momentums going out of the end zone,

291
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:32,040
Speaker 1: but it was just that little bit of a kiss

292
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 1: of the football on the white line as he's going

293
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:37,560
Speaker 1: out was enough to get him a touchdown to have possession,

294
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 1: had possession, and that was obviously what they were trying

295
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:44,719
Speaker 1: to do. So it's one of those things like, I mean,

296
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:47,320
Speaker 1: we need those kind of things for our broadcast to

297
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:51,240
Speaker 1: try and explain what happened, Why was it this way?

298
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:54,760
Speaker 1: Here's what the replay saws. It's going to be torture

299
00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 1: in some sense because one of the things that down

300
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:02,440
Speaker 1: on the sidelines, you guys, I sometimes can see a replay.

301
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 1: Sometimes they'll show it. Sometimes they're showing you know, Winchells

302
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:09,240
Speaker 1: hot dogs or whatever up on the board, and because

303
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:11,080
Speaker 1: they're not wanting to show replay, so I'm kind of

304
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 1: just relying on you guys. And then I hear you guys,

305
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:15,520
Speaker 1: you know we're during a break. It's like, well, I no,

306
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:18,040
Speaker 1: I don't know, Dre, I don't know, and Dre's like Mark,

307
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 1: yes he's in and I'm not seeing anything. But that

308
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:25,480
Speaker 1: kind of drama just adds more. Yeah, it does to

309
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:29,880
Speaker 1: everything that's kind of going on. I mean, look, in

310
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:34,080
Speaker 1: some part this game is imperfect, So I mean, yeah,

311
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:36,040
Speaker 1: you want to get as close to perfect as possible.

312
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 1: And adding twelve cameras and six more for spotting, like

313
00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:42,960
Speaker 1: you're doing what people have asked for a long time. Hey,

314
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:45,720
Speaker 1: why can't we put cameras down the goal line? Well,

315
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 1: boom five, here you go.

316
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 3: If I'm one of the owners, I'm thinking, you know what,

317
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 3: there's so much at stake here. There's so much money

318
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 3: at stake because an extra winner two determines whether I

319
00:14:57,160 --> 00:14:59,520
Speaker 3: have to blow out a whole coaching staff. Yeah, right,

320
00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:03,520
Speaker 3: right right, and we win another game or two. I mean,

321
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:08,240
Speaker 3: the difference between eight wins and ten wins is monumental

322
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:10,120
Speaker 3: in this league and all the games coming down to

323
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:11,640
Speaker 3: the wire. You know, I was watching the Legends and

324
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:14,680
Speaker 3: the Making special that aired on ABC thirteen last weekend,

325
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:17,680
Speaker 3: and we're gonna reair it's Saturday night, ABC thirteen at

326
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:21,760
Speaker 3: eleven o'clock, so don't miss that. And you see all

327
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:24,320
Speaker 3: of the highlights from last year, and this is just

328
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:28,640
Speaker 3: the wins, and you're thinking about how close these games

329
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 3: are and were how close these games are? He separates

330
00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 3: a game. I mean it's remember the Colts here, the

331
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 3: Richardson TapouT game. We think of that as like this commanding,

332
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 3: dominating victory, and it felt like it, you know, in retrospect.

333
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 3: Yet I'm looking at this. Richardson's got the ball with

334
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 3: one second left, and you know he can heave it

335
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 3: a mile and it's a hail Mary.

336
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 2: I get it.

337
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 3: You know, it's very unlikely. It's low percentage at best,

338
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:57,880
Speaker 3: but still, that's a one possession game, the one that

339
00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 3: you played up there, a one POSSESSI game.

340
00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:04,240
Speaker 1: So you come speaking to replay. Speaking of replay, they

341
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:08,240
Speaker 1: replayed that third down throw from CJ to Eco. Everybody

342
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:09,680
Speaker 1: had to look at it because on the sideline, we

343
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:11,640
Speaker 1: all knew that he had we made he made the catch.

344
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 1: I mean, he's Nico, He's gonna get two feet down.

345
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 1: But the Colts are like, no, no, no, that play.

346
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:17,400
Speaker 1: It was under two minutes, so it ended up going

347
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 1: I believe it went to a review.

348
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 3: I'll tell you what else they have in this special.

349
00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 3: I've never seen this angle of the CJ ball through

350
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:27,240
Speaker 3: his hands, snap and throws the shavior. Yeah, and he's

351
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:28,479
Speaker 3: running to the sideline.

352
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:29,640
Speaker 2: Blah blah blah.

353
00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 3: They have an end zone, corner view from behind and

354
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 3: so ground level behind view.

355
00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:40,040
Speaker 1: So sideline or their sideline. Oh wow, so you're seeing

356
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:41,200
Speaker 1: he's running towards them.

357
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:44,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, well but you're but they're behind the hind so

358
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:47,640
Speaker 3: he's running toward the sideline. He's gonna get killed, right

359
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 3: And he barely gets that thing off and just and

360
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:55,400
Speaker 3: you're just thinking, that's the difference in this game, the

361
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:58,640
Speaker 3: ability to do that. He hits X on the run,

362
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:01,240
Speaker 3: you know, you get the touch down, drive and suing.

363
00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:05,440
Speaker 3: The game has completely changed. It felt like it made

364
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:09,080
Speaker 3: the season that play because let's say you lose that

365
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 3: game somehow, right now we're feeling like this is this

366
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 3: is not good. You had the loss to the Chiefs,

367
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:18,600
Speaker 3: you had the loss to the Ravens, you didn't play

368
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:20,639
Speaker 3: your best football down the stretch, and now you go

369
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:23,360
Speaker 3: out and flame home at home in the first round

370
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:26,680
Speaker 3: of the playoffs. Instead, that play turned that game around.

371
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:29,280
Speaker 3: The defense was already playing well. And I'm not saying

372
00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:31,480
Speaker 3: to lose the game automatically if you're not able to

373
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:33,560
Speaker 3: make that play, but the fact that that play wasn't

374
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:36,040
Speaker 3: a turnover as a miracle in itself, never mind a

375
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:38,200
Speaker 3: huge play to midfield to get you really cooking.

376
00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:39,879
Speaker 2: So that view.

377
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:42,880
Speaker 3: NFL films, you know, they got cameras all over the play,

378
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:44,800
Speaker 3: so sometimes they capture an angle that you might not

379
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:45,360
Speaker 3: have seen before.

380
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:46,919
Speaker 2: That's why I recommend seeing the special time.

381
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:50,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, specials very very good. And that angle I've seen.

382
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:52,800
Speaker 1: I've seen the angle you're talking about. There's a part of

383
00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:54,679
Speaker 1: me wondering, how the hell did he see you, X,

384
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:57,600
Speaker 1: and what's amazing on that play? And then it will

385
00:17:57,600 --> 00:17:59,680
Speaker 1: get on to some other that I want to talk about.

386
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:02,199
Speaker 1: X is the number one receiver on the left. Now,

387
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:04,040
Speaker 1: when I talk about number one wide receiver, I'm not

388
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:05,840
Speaker 1: like he's the he was the focus of the play.

389
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:08,800
Speaker 1: He actually wasn't. What I mean by that is receivers

390
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:11,960
Speaker 1: are counted one, two, three from outside d left to

391
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:15,159
Speaker 1: right or no outside east side, so the outside this

392
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:19,560
Speaker 1: receiver is number one. Now, receivers can do a switch release,

393
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:22,240
Speaker 1: and so defenses talk about, you know who's the final

394
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:24,760
Speaker 1: number one, But he's lined up as the number one.

395
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:26,480
Speaker 1: There was no motion I think was the trips and

396
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:29,280
Speaker 1: we were on the right. Hash mark X is the

397
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:31,920
Speaker 1: he's the furthest away from the ball and the ball

398
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:36,159
Speaker 1: gets snapped that way. So X is far left and

399
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:38,600
Speaker 1: the ball gets snapped through his hands all the way

400
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:40,680
Speaker 1: to the right. So X has got to run his route.

401
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:42,960
Speaker 1: He runs his route, he sees CJ running for his life,

402
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:44,960
Speaker 1: and then he just sprints across the field. The all

403
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:48,440
Speaker 1: twenty two angle of that play is freaking amazing. Yeah,

404
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:52,520
Speaker 1: because he he runs his route, He's like, uh, oh boy,

405
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:55,159
Speaker 1: I gotta go, and so he just goes across the

406
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:59,000
Speaker 1: field and CJ makes a great throw. X makes the

407
00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:03,240
Speaker 1: catch and just kept he stayed, He stayed active. And

408
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:06,159
Speaker 1: that's what you saw. Receivers like you never you might

409
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:08,800
Speaker 1: run arout and circle up, it's not there. Quarterback starts

410
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:10,960
Speaker 1: to scramble. I gotta move and they work on that.

411
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:12,440
Speaker 1: They work on the scrambled drill a lot.

412
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:13,520
Speaker 3: Don't give up on the play.

413
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:15,600
Speaker 1: But Ex is the number one wide receivers, the furthest

414
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:17,200
Speaker 1: guy outside, and he's the guy that gets all the

415
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:18,879
Speaker 1: way across the field to go get that ball. I

416
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 1: always think that's that's pretty amazing. One other thing that's

417
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:25,920
Speaker 1: amazing these ESPN ratings for top ten players in the league.

418
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:27,680
Speaker 1: We talked about a little bit the other night with

419
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:29,960
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks, but there's kind of a point to this

420
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:32,360
Speaker 1: mark that that I'm getting too. I want to read

421
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:36,320
Speaker 1: you something now. Tomorrow being the seventeenth, I believe that's

422
00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:40,520
Speaker 1: the last day and its corners. So there's a little

423
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:41,439
Speaker 1: bit of a caveat here.

424
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:43,919
Speaker 2: But and Sauce just got signed again.

425
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:46,560
Speaker 1: I'm good signed. You know, Sauce needs to write a

426
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:49,000
Speaker 1: thank you to both Nick Cassio and Derreck Singley Junior

427
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:51,480
Speaker 1: for setting the market. Yeah, for setting the market and

428
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:55,480
Speaker 1: the Jets went above it. That's the way negotiations go. No,

429
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:56,480
Speaker 1: but Stingley knew that.

430
00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:58,879
Speaker 3: But stin knew that's signing as early as he did

431
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:00,560
Speaker 3: that it was to happen.

432
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 1: I don't think he was gonna beat it exactly. Instinct

433
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:05,399
Speaker 1: has no issue with that. Sting just goes out and

434
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:07,119
Speaker 1: balls out. He's the number one corner of the league.

435
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:08,880
Speaker 1: So what that Sauce gets paid a little bit more.

436
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:13,399
Speaker 1: It happens all over the place. But something stood out

437
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:15,240
Speaker 1: to me as I thought about this. I was actually

438
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:17,760
Speaker 1: driving in today, I was thinking about this. So I'm

439
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:22,359
Speaker 1: going to read you from the ESPN ratings where particular

440
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:27,600
Speaker 1: Texans were ranked. Okay, so start offense. CJ was an Romance.

441
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:31,399
Speaker 1: He was number eleven. Joe Mixon was number nine. Nico,

442
00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:35,159
Speaker 1: which receivers came run with running backs as voted on

443
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:39,040
Speaker 1: by the seventy or so execs that participated in this survey.

444
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:41,159
Speaker 1: So Joe Mixon was at number nine for running backs.

445
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:43,440
Speaker 1: Nico Collins today receivers, he comes.

446
00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:43,960
Speaker 2: In number eight.

447
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:46,680
Speaker 1: Okay, it's a pretty healthy group, but he comes in

448
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:50,160
Speaker 1: at number eight. I thought there was a really prescient

449
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:55,400
Speaker 1: comment about Nico and they said Nico's career turned around.

450
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:59,399
Speaker 1: And Ben McDaniels has talked about this. Nico's career turned

451
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:01,919
Speaker 1: around when he decided he was going to be a

452
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:05,080
Speaker 1: running back after the catch YEP and that's what changes.

453
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:07,800
Speaker 1: It was interesting that a NFL executive talked about that.

454
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:11,320
Speaker 1: So Nikos number eight. Dalton Schultz was in also receiving

455
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:12,359
Speaker 1: votes at tight end.

456
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:15,960
Speaker 3: Offensive line didn't get a single phote and that's after

457
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:17,639
Speaker 3: the top ten, right, yeah.

458
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:20,600
Speaker 1: That's after the top ten. They had some honorable mention.

459
00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:23,880
Speaker 1: Then he ended up and also receiving votes on defense.

460
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:28,840
Speaker 1: Dinion Hunter was nine, Will Anderson was eight. Christian Harris

461
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:32,800
Speaker 1: was also receiving votes. Wow, the corners are tomorrow, so

462
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:36,399
Speaker 1: you know Sting's gonna be top ten. Maybe Kamari Kamari

463
00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:40,679
Speaker 1: is definitely gonna be in honorable mansion. Yeah, safety Cja

464
00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:43,240
Speaker 1: Gardner Johnson was honorad mentioned. Kaylin Block was on her

465
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:47,720
Speaker 1: honorable mention nice Jalen Petrie is also receiving votes.

466
00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:49,560
Speaker 2: So I bring all that up.

467
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:53,240
Speaker 1: That's two, four, six, eight, ten, twelve. That's thirteen guys

468
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:56,479
Speaker 1: total that ended up in the top ten, ended up

469
00:21:56,480 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 1: in honorable mention roughly top twelve to top fifteen, or also

470
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:04,200
Speaker 1: receiving it, got votes in a top ten of players

471
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:10,280
Speaker 1: at their position. Thirteen players. When this exercise started, I

472
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 1: think it was a twenty twenty one Oh boy, how

473
00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:15,760
Speaker 1: many players do you think fell into any of those

474
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:16,760
Speaker 1: categories for the Texans?

475
00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:19,560
Speaker 2: Laramie, Laramie. That was it. That was it.

476
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:20,000
Speaker 4: Yeah.

477
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:25,240
Speaker 1: There was one player, one player, not one position player.

478
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:28,879
Speaker 1: One player for the Texans was in and he was

479
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:30,480
Speaker 1: a top ten tackle at that time, but he was

480
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:33,119
Speaker 1: also in well twenty twenty one. Yeah, twenty twenty had

481
00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:35,080
Speaker 1: a good year twenty twenty one and play five games.

482
00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:38,720
Speaker 1: So in that twenty twenty one season you got five

483
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:41,320
Speaker 1: or six games of a top ten player and that

484
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:44,120
Speaker 1: was it. You're going to twenty twenty five. Now they're

485
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:50,480
Speaker 1: all not top ten. Joe, Niko Danil will probably more

486
00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:56,760
Speaker 1: likely staying. Maybe Kamari are top ten. You have five

487
00:22:57,080 --> 00:23:00,240
Speaker 1: guys that are definite top ten, with Kamari in a

488
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:01,760
Speaker 1: possible six.

489
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:04,040
Speaker 3: And put it this way, of thirteen guys total who

490
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:07,760
Speaker 3: are top half at their position, that's over half of

491
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:10,640
Speaker 3: your in total starters offensive defense.

492
00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:15,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, in four years, you've gone from Laramie. Is that

493
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:17,359
Speaker 1: one top ten guy you have and you can rely

494
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:22,520
Speaker 1: on him to now thirteen guys that are being recognized

495
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:26,160
Speaker 1: by executives throughout the league that there's something about that guy.

496
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:30,200
Speaker 1: When those guys did those votes, they put Christian Harris

497
00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:33,080
Speaker 1: in the top ten, they put Jalen Petrie in the

498
00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:38,520
Speaker 1: top ten. You had the guys their honorable mention CJ, CJ. Stroud, CJ.

499
00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:41,160
Speaker 1: Garner Johnson, and Kaylen Block. They were all honorable mentions,

500
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:44,679
Speaker 1: so they were top in CJ's case eleven and then CJ.

501
00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:47,240
Speaker 1: Garner Johnson Kaylen Bullock were both in honorable mentions their

502
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:48,000
Speaker 1: top fifteen.

503
00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:52,320
Speaker 3: Now Nick acquired all thirteen drafted, so let's subtract the

504
00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:56,760
Speaker 3: free agents and or drafted or strouded four players.

505
00:23:56,400 --> 00:24:03,000
Speaker 1: Stroud drafted, Mixing trade, Niko drafted, Dalton free agency, the

506
00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:07,760
Speaker 1: Neo free agency, Will Anderson Junior drafted, Christian drafted, Sting drafted,

507
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:13,520
Speaker 1: Last drafted, Kaylan drafted Jalen drafted c J Gard Johnson trade.

508
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:16,480
Speaker 3: All right, that's eight of the thirteen who were drafted

509
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:19,280
Speaker 3: drafted by Cassrio Top half of the league player.

510
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:21,520
Speaker 1: For twenty twenty twelve, Nico twenty twenty one on.

511
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:25,600
Speaker 3: And then so how many top tens drafted Sting We

512
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:28,320
Speaker 3: don't know about. We could make the top ten, but

513
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:31,400
Speaker 3: probably won't. I would think, yeah, I bet Kamari's gonna

514
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:32,159
Speaker 3: be in the top half.

515
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:35,639
Speaker 1: I bet he gets a honorable mention. He's gonna be mentioned.

516
00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:38,680
Speaker 1: Because if you're watching Sting, say you're you're an NFL executive,

517
00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:40,800
Speaker 1: and you go to watch twenty four yep, and you

518
00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:43,400
Speaker 1: watch him and the ball's being thrown the other way

519
00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:47,480
Speaker 1: and you see four, You're like, damn, he's good. Oh yeah, Kamarai.

520
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:49,720
Speaker 1: And then you check the numbers. They were two of

521
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:52,320
Speaker 1: the best, if not the best, in the league in

522
00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:53,720
Speaker 1: completion percentage against.

523
00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:56,080
Speaker 3: In other words, it's incredible. It's a great time to

524
00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:59,320
Speaker 3: be a Texans fan. It really is a magical time.

525
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:02,199
Speaker 3: Can't wait to see them operate. People ask me how

526
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:04,160
Speaker 3: they're gonna be I'm like, they're gonna be really good.

527
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:06,080
Speaker 3: The question is do you win these games? Do you

528
00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:07,720
Speaker 3: win the close games? Do you win the games against

529
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:09,560
Speaker 3: the Ravens and the Chiefs and et cetera.

530
00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:10,119
Speaker 2: Of the Bills.

531
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:14,200
Speaker 3: I said this to the luxe crowd yesterday had an event,

532
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:16,280
Speaker 3: Well I had. They had an event and I was

533
00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:18,359
Speaker 3: there for a part of it and did a Q

534
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:20,160
Speaker 3: and A on stage with Jalen Knowl.

535
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:20,919
Speaker 1: Who oh how was that?

536
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:23,040
Speaker 3: Cannot be a better guy, John? I mean, he's one

537
00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:25,399
Speaker 3: of those guys you get it right. It's funny. It

538
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 3: feels like Demico Ryan's invasion of the body Snatchers has

539
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:31,399
Speaker 3: invaded the body of all of these players, and his

540
00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:33,639
Speaker 3: voice is just coming out of all of them. And

541
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:36,520
Speaker 3: not in the rookies. I'm just here to be a

542
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:39,560
Speaker 3: teammate kind of way. No, this is a rookie that

543
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:42,800
Speaker 3: we put up there, and the guy is so eloquent

544
00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:44,879
Speaker 3: and fun to be around, and you know, he's a

545
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:47,000
Speaker 3: really good player. And I asked him, you know why

546
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:49,879
Speaker 3: you stay at Iowa State the whole time. Aren't you

547
00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:52,760
Speaker 3: supposed to transfer every year these days? He said, you know,

548
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:55,880
Speaker 3: Coach Campbell said, I'm gonna be here all your four years.

549
00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:57,639
Speaker 3: He made that promise to me. So I made that

550
00:25:57,680 --> 00:25:59,399
Speaker 3: promise to him. And you know he had some nil

551
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:01,919
Speaker 3: deals too, which is great for him. And now he

552
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:04,560
Speaker 3: comes here and I talked about fishing with Jaden Higgins,

553
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:06,160
Speaker 3: and I said, look, Travis Hunter.

554
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 2: Of the Jags, he's a big fisherman. Yep. So are

557
00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:16,160
Speaker 3: they do a fishing league tournament? This is a natural

558
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:18,959

00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:21,320

Speaker 3: Jalen said that he and Higgins went fishing this week

562
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:28,199
Speaker 3: and Higgins got the better of them because they went

563
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:29,160
Speaker 3: to Galveston Bay.

564
00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:29,479
Speaker 2: Oh.

565
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:31,880
Speaker 3: Jalalen's not used to that type of fishing right now,

566
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:33,239
Speaker 3: but he says he'll catch up.

Speaker 1: his role was. His role was the punt and to

589
00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:27,400
Speaker 1: be the best punter possible.

590
00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:29,639
Speaker 3: But my kids found out I'm going to the Greenbrier

592
00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:36,920
Speaker 1: I had to break that news as well. I had

593
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:39,679
Speaker 1: to break that news, like, hey, y'all, we're going to there, going.

594
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:42,199
Speaker 3: For a few nights. It's six but last time it

595
00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:45,720
Speaker 3: was minimum thirteen. Fourteen. Oh that was the reduced visit

596
00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:47,800
Speaker 3: and I was able to have them out there for

597
00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:49,520
Speaker 3: a week, you know, so that was kind of nice,

598
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:50,840
Speaker 3: but it's not gonna happen this time.

599
00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:52,399
Speaker 1: It was the same with us. I mean, we we

600
00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:55,639
Speaker 1: went the second year and stayed and I'll never forget

601
00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:58,120
Speaker 1: I went. I flew into North I flew in North

602
00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:00,920

605
00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:06,800
Speaker 1: and a half hours from there to go, but we

606
00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:08,600
Speaker 1: figured that's a good stop, and you know, we could

607
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:10,800
Speaker 1: see them, and so we did all the North Carolina

00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:40,880
Speaker 1: But we went out there and was the three of

621
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:43,760
Speaker 1: us for the first few days, and my kids were

622
00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:44,240
Speaker 1: in heaven.

623
00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:45,600
Speaker 2: We went to waterfalls.

624
00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:50,120
Speaker 1: We drove back into Virginia and saw these beautiful, beautiful

625
00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:54,240
Speaker 1: cascading waterfalls. We ate extremely well in our house and

626
00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:56,800
Speaker 1: we were staying. We were in the basically the basement

627
00:28:56,800 --> 00:29:00,600
Speaker 1: of this house and for an airbnb, and we went

628
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:03,040
Speaker 1: out the first night and I'll never forget. My daughter

629
00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:04,920
Speaker 1: kind of had a Tyler Marcott moment. She looked on

630
00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:07,400
Speaker 1: She's like dad a bear And there was a bear

631
00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:10,280
Speaker 1: kind of just kind of making his way through the

632
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:13,920
Speaker 1: kind of the area that was out behind our house.

633
00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:15,680
Speaker 3: She used to play dead or run the other way?

634
00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:16,160
Speaker 3: What do you do?

635
00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:17,560
Speaker 1: I don't know. It was far away.

636
00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:18,360
Speaker 2: It was far off away.

637
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:19,240
Speaker 1: You could tell it was a bear.

638
00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:20,400
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go in the house.

639
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go. But we saw it.

640
00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:25,280
Speaker 3: It was I want just on the edge or one

641
00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:26,040
Speaker 3: of those movies.

642
00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:28,120
Speaker 2: No no, no, no, no, no.

643
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:32,040
Speaker 1: I careful, that's their domain. I'm just staying there for.

644
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:33,600
Speaker 2: A little bit on their turf.

645
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:36,280
Speaker 1: Just the fact that it will be seventy one when

646
00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:37,400
Speaker 1: practice starts.

647
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:39,200
Speaker 2: We can't weather brag Johnny.

648
00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:41,840
Speaker 3: No, I cared to you. I will that first day

649
00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:44,400
Speaker 3: we're out there, that one next week. What's the projection now,

650
00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:48,160
Speaker 3: I said, low nineties, Yeah, low nineties feels like nothing

651
00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:48,680
Speaker 3: this time.

652
00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:52,600
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter to me what the temperature is outside. Honestly,

653
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:55,040
Speaker 1: it's hot. Yeah, it's hot. And I know the guys

654
00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:58,120
Speaker 1: it's tough for them, but football's back. Man. We're a

655
00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:01,640
Speaker 1: week away from football truly being and we I thought

656
00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:05,200
Speaker 1: about this moment from the time we left that field,

657
00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:08,000
Speaker 1: we left Arrowhead, and I felt like we we just

658
00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:10,640
Speaker 1: and you talk to the guys too, the players, and

659
00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:13,440
Speaker 1: they'll tell you, man, we left. We left points out

660
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:15,880
Speaker 1: on that field. We let them, We let them off

661
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:18,040
Speaker 1: the hook. Now, it would have been still difficult to

662
00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:20,360
Speaker 1: beat them. You had to play a much better fourth quarter,

663
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:23,080
Speaker 1: maybe get a break here or there. You just you

664
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:23,640
Speaker 1: just didn't.

665
00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:24,840
Speaker 2: But you felt like you had them.

666
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:27,680
Speaker 1: And I think since then, you're like, man, okay, we

667
00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:30,080
Speaker 1: could come back. And then Nick Hale's hired. Nick you know,

668
00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:33,040
Speaker 1: uh Kopapovitch just hired as the offensive line coach. You're like,

669
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:37,080
Speaker 1: all right, then this draft, you draft Higgins, Noel, you know,

670
00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:38,640
Speaker 1: Urseries coming along.

671
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:40,400
Speaker 3: Now your boy, Jalen Smith, do you have high hopes?

672
00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:42,800
Speaker 1: Jalen Smith have very high hopes. And you start seeing

673
00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:46,240
Speaker 1: it put together and you're like, man, okay, all right now,

674
00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:49,880
Speaker 1: and you just get more and more excited for it

675
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:52,080
Speaker 1: to just start and get going. And next week it

676
00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:52,680
Speaker 1: does well.

677
00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:54,680
Speaker 3: You know what I do all throughout the six and

678
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:59,240
Speaker 3: a half weeks, we'll have camp. Hold my breath, no injury.

679
00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:02,080
Speaker 3: I don't want talk about it, yeah, because that's what happens.

680
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:05,280
Speaker 3: They start practicing and you start really sweating that part

681
00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:07,920
Speaker 3: of it out, So let's not pray whatever we have

682
00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:09,040
Speaker 3: to do to keep them healthy.

683
00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:13,120
Speaker 1: I went into coaching straight out of college. Every practice

684
00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:16,360
Speaker 1: that I've ever been involved in in any way, shape

685
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:20,000
Speaker 1: or form, I hold my breath the entire just. I mean,

686
00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:22,280
Speaker 1: I get excited about plays that are made, but you know,

687
00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:24,400
Speaker 1: somebody makes a diving catch and the end zone, I'm

688
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:29,360
Speaker 1: just like, like, I just I panic watching practice. That's

689
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:32,840
Speaker 1: the only thing about practice that I just to okay,

690
00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:35,680
Speaker 1: is what's gonna happen today. I remember I was watching

691
00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:38,160
Speaker 1: one on once when Scotty went down Scotty Quisenberry in

692
00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:41,000
Speaker 1: twenty three, and I just like I saw it happen.

693
00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:45,200
Speaker 1: I'm just like, oh yeah, like I texted you, I'm like,

694
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:48,680
Speaker 1: Scotty's down and it's not good, and it's like those

695
00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:51,480
Speaker 1: moments are just I don't even want to help. Just

696
00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:52,120
Speaker 1: hold your break.

697
00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:55,280
Speaker 3: They've done a much better job recent years overall soft

698
00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:58,960
Speaker 3: tissue stuff, They technologies, they have the nutrition staff to

699
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:01,040
Speaker 3: go along with the athletic training staff and everything else,

700
00:32:01,040 --> 00:32:05,280
Speaker 3: strength and conditioning, and I think I can't say, I mean,

701
00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:07,600
Speaker 3: who can project anything, but they've done a much better

702
00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:10,080
Speaker 3: job with all that stuff. That doesn't mean everything's perfect,

703
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:12,480
Speaker 3: but when you think about it compared to years past,

704
00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:13,240
Speaker 3: it's a lot better.

705
00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:15,760
Speaker 1: Absolutely, And that's all you want it to be. A

706
00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:19,840
Speaker 1: couple guys that we are very excited about seeing that.

707
00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:24,520
Speaker 1: I know some people haven't always talked about Tommy TOGIAI is.

708
00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:24,960

Speaker 1: for himself last year. And I love saying his name,

723
00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:17,520

Speaker 2: Here, and studio with us right now.

728
00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:30,560
Speaker 3: A guy whose name I said a lot last year,

729
00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:33,040
Speaker 3: and maybe you weren't expecting me to say it, but

730
00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:37,600
Speaker 3: he warranted every bit of credit he was getting, Tommy

731

Speaker 4: What's going on?

734
00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:43,440
Speaker 2: Guys? I want to ask you this, like.

735
00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:44,280
Speaker 1: How'd you do that?

736
00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:48,040
Speaker 2: A lot of defensive line talent on.

737
00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:50,960
Speaker 3: This team, not that you're not talented, but and not

738
00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:52,840
Speaker 3: that you came out of nowhere, but you kind of

739
00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:55,400
Speaker 3: did in some ways, and and I know it doesn't

740
00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:57,080
Speaker 3: feel like that to you, but well, how do you

741
00:33:57,120 --> 00:33:57,440
Speaker 3: see it?

742
00:33:57,480 --> 00:33:59,640
Speaker 2: Because you made a big impression last year.

743
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:02,360
Speaker 4: Man, Just the credit to my coaches and the rest

744
00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:02,960
Speaker 4: of the D line.

745
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:03,160
Speaker 2: Man.

746
00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:05,160
Speaker 5: You know, last year, I think I just had a

747
00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:07,440
Speaker 5: you know, we talk about no weak links, and I

748
00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:09,440
Speaker 5: took at the heart. So you know, when I got

749
00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:11,560
Speaker 5: my opportunity, I tried to go out there to play,

750
00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:13,160
Speaker 5: play as hard as I could and do what I

751
00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:14,040
Speaker 5: can for the team. Man.

752
00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:16,520
Speaker 2: So Tommy, what did you get here last year? Remind

753
00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:18,439
Speaker 2: me I got their training camp?

754
00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:21,120
Speaker 5: Yes, it was after training camp. I got here the

755
00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:23,040
Speaker 5: week of the vikings. I think it was week three.

756
00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:28,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, So I'll ask this in that way, like you

757
00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:31,560
Speaker 1: walk into the room. I mean obviously people have seen

758
00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:33,399
Speaker 1: you play. You played Ohio State, so they see you play,

759
00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:34,759
Speaker 1: but you walk in you're the new.

760
00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:37,080
Speaker 2: Guy in the room. What's that feeling like?

761
00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:37,239
Speaker 6: Like?

762
00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:40,319
Speaker 1: How tough was that to kind of break through with

763
00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:42,239
Speaker 1: the room, to get them to know you, you to

764
00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:43,800
Speaker 1: know them and they go out on the field and

765
00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:44,719
Speaker 1: then perform after that.

766
00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:46,440
Speaker 5: You know, it's very nerve wracking, you know when you

767
00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:48,600
Speaker 5: go to a new team, it's like fresh as it's

768
00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:50,880
Speaker 5: like almost like a rookie season all over again, a

769
00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:53,400
Speaker 5: little bit like meeting everybody. So it's a little overwhelming,

770
00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:55,680
Speaker 5: but also it was very welcoming from the room. They

771
00:34:55,719 --> 00:34:59,800
Speaker 5: were very encouraging through practices and all that, So very welcoming,

772
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:01,239
Speaker 5: and you know, I got to know a lot of

773
00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:01,720
Speaker 5: the guys.

774
00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:03,279
Speaker 4: You know, it took a little bit, like a couple

775
00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:04,320
Speaker 4: of weeks to really get.

776
00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:05,760
Speaker 5: To know them, but you know I found my groove

777
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:07,480
Speaker 5: with the guys and took off from there.

778
00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:10,319
Speaker 3: Well, you mentioned the coaches, So what do they do

779
00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:14,080
Speaker 3: to help guys in this system make plays?

780
00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:16,080
Speaker 2: How do they set you up for success?

781
00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:19,000
Speaker 5: I think, you know, it comes down to like our

782
00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:22,000
Speaker 5: individual drills that we do. You know, we like our

783
00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:24,560
Speaker 5: position drills really during that time and then even in

784
00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:28,440
Speaker 5: the meetings, like they're very encouraging and also like getting

785
00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:30,840
Speaker 5: you straight on making it very simple for you. And

786
00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:32,279
Speaker 5: I think that's a big thing that was for me,

787
00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:34,160
Speaker 5: making it very simple. You know, I came in during

788
00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:35,920
Speaker 5: the season, I already started. They had to bring me

789
00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:38,480
Speaker 5: along quickly, so I think they made it like very

790
00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:40,520
Speaker 5: simple for me to be able to catch up on

791
00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:43,120
Speaker 5: the defenses and all that and learn the techniques very fast.

792
00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:44,360
Speaker 4: So I think that's what helped me.

793
00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:46,520
Speaker 1: Tommy. And then one of the things, especially when guys

794
00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:48,760
Speaker 1: are coming on our college and you're going to the NFL,

795
00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:51,360
Speaker 1: I think fit matters a ton.

796
00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:55,160
Speaker 2: Maybe like this defense does this defense does that. It's like, no,

797
00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:58,560
Speaker 2: how do I fit that defense? This feels like and

798
00:35:58,600 --> 00:35:59,520
Speaker 2: I remember when.

799
00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:00,880
Speaker 1: You were signed here, I was like, I think this

800
00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:03,800
Speaker 1: defense gonna fit in pretty well because it allows guys

801
00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:05,840
Speaker 1: to just go hunt, be aggressive, get upfield.

802
00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:07,840
Speaker 2: Is that kind of the way that you.

803
00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:10,720
Speaker 1: Look at it, that this defense and what is asked

804
00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:12,359
Speaker 1: of you fits your skill set?

805
00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:15,560
Speaker 5: No, definitely, I think this attack system, you know, being

806
00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:18,319
Speaker 5: with the guys, well we're asked to do if it's

807
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:20,520
Speaker 5: what I want to do and my play style like perfectly,

808
00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:23,319
Speaker 5: I'm not really built for that read system. I feel

809
00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:26,040
Speaker 5: I'm more built for this attack and you know, I'm

810
00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:27,480
Speaker 5: really glad to be in it and I want to

811
00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:28,520
Speaker 5: stay in as long as I can.

812
00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:31,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, Tommy, togi I with us. What about this offensive line?

813
00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:34,319
Speaker 3: What are you seeing so far? Because you know in

814
00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:36,560
Speaker 3: practice last year you got here during a time where

815
00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:39,360
Speaker 3: it's scout team stuff for the most part. Yet you

816
00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:41,759
Speaker 3: didn't go through camp with that line, But what are

817
00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:43,719
Speaker 3: you seeing from this line so far in the offseason.

818
00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:45,840
Speaker 3: I know they don't have pads on and we're not

819
00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:47,760
Speaker 3: there yet, but so far.

820
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:49,960
Speaker 5: You know, I'm feeling like they're really close and I

821
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:53,720
Speaker 5: feel like they're doing things together and they're all really

822
00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:56,400
Speaker 5: getting on each other, holding each other accountable. And I

823
00:36:56,440 --> 00:36:58,200
Speaker 5: think that's a big change we've seen in the going

824
00:36:58,239 --> 00:37:01,000
Speaker 5: into this season. And they're seeing guys like doing extra

825
00:37:01,080 --> 00:37:03,359
Speaker 5: work and extra things even in the lifts, like they're

826
00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:05,520
Speaker 5: doing extra things together, and that's like, I mean, I

827
00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:06,239
Speaker 5: love seeing that.

828
00:37:06,760 --> 00:37:10,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, No Doubt played to Ohio State. Hey, how did

829
00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:14,400
Speaker 1: you get to Ohio State? And b I'll get to

830
00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:16,040
Speaker 1: be in a little bit, how'd you get to Ohio State?

831
00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:17,560
Speaker 1: And how is that kind of shape the way that

832
00:37:17,600 --> 00:37:18,200
Speaker 1: you play now?

833
00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:19,879
Speaker 4: So that's a funny story really.

834
00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:22,319
Speaker 5: My the d line coach Larry Johnson at Ohio State

835
00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:24,799
Speaker 5: right now, he said, my tape just caught across his

836
00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:26,800
Speaker 5: screen one day and he was like, who is this kid?

837
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:28,960
Speaker 5: And they told him I was from Idaho and they're

838
00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:30,759
Speaker 5: like from Idaho. He's playing like this. He's like I

839
00:37:30,760 --> 00:37:33,000
Speaker 5: have to we have to get him. And so like

840
00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:35,160
Speaker 5: he started that relationship with me, texted me like, do

841
00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:37,640
Speaker 5: you have any interest here? And you know, ever since

842
00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:39,719
Speaker 5: then we kind of just built that relationship. And that's

843
00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:41,960
Speaker 5: ultimately the reason I chose Ohio State was because of

844
00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:42,720
Speaker 5: Larry Johnson.

845
00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:45,439
Speaker 2: So had Ohio State been on your radar screen at all?

846
00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:47,919
Speaker 5: Not really, It was mainly I had mainly just packed

847
00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:50,399
Speaker 5: twelve schools at the time, and yeah, they really jumped

848
00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:52,200
Speaker 5: on the radar and not until like towards the end

849
00:37:52,239 --> 00:37:53,840
Speaker 5: of my junior year of high school.

850
00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:55,880
Speaker 2: And you go to Ohio State played for Larry Johnson.

851
00:37:56,080 --> 00:38:00,960
Speaker 3: Yes, correct, So Pocatello is nowhere near bois right, No,

852
00:38:01,040 --> 00:38:03,799
Speaker 3: it's four hours yeah, four hours away, all right, So

853
00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:07,120
Speaker 3: sell me on Pokatello. I want to go visit Pokatella.

854
00:38:07,160 --> 00:38:07,840
Speaker 3: Why should I?

855
00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:12,040
Speaker 5: Beautiful scenery, you know, hunting if you're a big hunter

856
00:38:12,080 --> 00:38:13,319
Speaker 5: out or door was the type of thing.

857
00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:14,439
Speaker 4: There's a lot of things like that.

858
00:38:14,719 --> 00:38:16,839
Speaker 5: And great people, great people there, you know, growing up

859
00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:19,000
Speaker 5: and made great relationships with a bunch of friends and

860
00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:19,960
Speaker 5: all that, and families.

861
00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:21,600
Speaker 4: Great people there, really great people.

862
00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:23,600
Speaker 2: How's winter winters are tough?

863
00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:26,480
Speaker 5: A live about that the winters are tough. We get

864
00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:28,719
Speaker 5: a lot of snow and it's very cold. The roads

865
00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:31,160
Speaker 5: sometimes are a little a little crazy out. I would

866
00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:34,279
Speaker 5: be surprised if people here would have crazy when there's

867
00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:34,879
Speaker 5: just a little bit.

868
00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:36,640
Speaker 4: So it's funny to see that this.

869
00:38:36,640 --> 00:38:39,560
Speaker 2: Place shuts down if there's like two snow flakes, like.

870
00:38:39,560 --> 00:38:43,239
Speaker 1: Shut it down exactly. I can only imagine. Uh, so

871
00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:45,040
Speaker 1: this is gonna be year.

872
00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:48,160
Speaker 4: Four five going into your five.

873
00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:52,240
Speaker 2: Ye perfect, So your five Tommy TOGII the fastest.

874
00:38:52,280 --> 00:38:54,920
Speaker 1: A few guys can sit down with rookie year Tommy

875
00:38:54,920 --> 00:38:57,319
Speaker 1: TOGII and give him one piece of advice you can

876
00:38:57,360 --> 00:38:59,880
Speaker 1: carry through the rest of his career. What piece of

877
00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:02,640
Speaker 1: advice would you give to rookie Tommy TOKYI.

878
00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:03,320
Speaker 4: It's crazy.

879
00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:05,160
Speaker 5: I was just talking about this with one of the guys,

880
00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:08,279
Speaker 5: and one thing I told him was like preparation and

881
00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:11,640
Speaker 5: making plays. You know, a lot of times you're just

882
00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:14,000
Speaker 5: asked to go in and kind of you think, just

883
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:16,120
Speaker 5: do your job, but like ultimate, at the end of

884
00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:17,799
Speaker 5: the day, you gotta make plays too, So that's one

885
00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:21,040
Speaker 5: thing to make plays. And also just preparation man for everything,

886
00:39:21,120 --> 00:39:22,360
Speaker 5: practice games, everything.

887
00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:24,760
Speaker 2: Well, you're making plays and it's fun to watch. Tommy.

888
00:39:24,760 --> 00:39:26,240
Speaker 2: Thanks a lot for joining us, good luck.

889
00:39:26,200 --> 00:39:29,600
Speaker 1: Appreciate it, Thanks for having me on a loaded defense.

890
00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:34,319
Speaker 1: Guys like Tommy Togii pop during a season, during a

891
00:39:34,360 --> 00:39:37,719
Speaker 1: playoff run, making key plays. I remember a guy for

892
00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:39,799
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. In fact, he's still there a Mike Panel.

893
00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:44,800
Speaker 1: That dude always makes big plays, not really well known,

894
00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:48,239
Speaker 1: but so instrumental to the chief success because of what

895
00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:50,480
Speaker 1: he gives them. Tommy Toki, I could be that guy

896
00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:53,960
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty five on i'ld say loaded defensive line,

897
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:57,400
Speaker 1: but a jam packed defensive line, a jam packed.

898
00:39:57,120 --> 00:39:58,040
Speaker 2: Interior for sure.

899
00:39:58,080 --> 00:40:00,600
Speaker 1: So Tommy Toki, I can't wait to see him from

900
00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:02,600
Speaker 1: training camp all the way through cut he can do

Speaker 3: are around in twenty one and twenty two, and I

920
00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:58,000
Speaker 3: feel this connection. You know, those are tough years and

921
00:40:58,480 --> 00:41:01,719
Speaker 3: good couple of years, three, twenty four, no question about it.

Speaker 4: You know.

928
00:41:11,480 --> 00:41:13,759
Speaker 7: I couldn't have it couldn't have worked out even better

929
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:16,319
Speaker 7: for me. So just to come back was big for me,

930
00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:19,040
Speaker 7: and it was an easy decision to make, and it

931
00:41:19,200 --> 00:41:21,360
Speaker 7: just you can just feel how the energy changed in

932
00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:23,160
Speaker 7: here though, like you know, like you said, twenty one

933
00:41:23,200 --> 00:41:25,520
Speaker 7: to twenty two, was some dark days, you know, we

934
00:41:25,560 --> 00:41:28,160
Speaker 7: wasn't winning. But the moment I stepped foot in here

935
00:41:28,239 --> 00:41:31,120
Speaker 7: when I signed in April or March, whenever it was,

936
00:41:32,120 --> 00:41:34,200
Speaker 7: you just can feel the different vibe and the energy

937
00:41:34,239 --> 00:41:36,239
Speaker 7: of the players, the coaches. You can just tell he

938
00:41:36,480 --> 00:41:40,560
Speaker 7: really put a winning, winning culture in the Texans now

939
00:41:40,600 --> 00:41:41,960
Speaker 7: and there's just a whole different ball team.

940
00:41:42,560 --> 00:41:44,439
Speaker 2: Treyhum, what years this for you? Eight?

941
00:41:44,560 --> 00:41:45,200
Speaker 1: Nine, eight?

942
00:41:45,480 --> 00:41:46,359
Speaker 6: You know, going on eight?

943
00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:49,960
Speaker 1: Okay, So that's this question a few guys, because I

944
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:53,120
Speaker 1: remember senior year at UCA, Tremon Smith's are called one

945
00:41:53,120 --> 00:41:55,399
Speaker 1: of your games, so I know a little bit from then.

946
00:41:55,560 --> 00:41:58,640
Speaker 1: But if year eight Tremon Smith could go back and

947
00:41:58,640 --> 00:42:02,200
Speaker 1: talk to rookie year Tremon Smith, Well, one piece of

948
00:42:02,239 --> 00:42:04,200
Speaker 1: advice would you give rookie Tramon Smith?

949
00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:07,080
Speaker 7: Just the little things like showing up in the morning

950
00:42:07,160 --> 00:42:10,600
Speaker 7: early to get on your routine. So I say routine

951
00:42:10,600 --> 00:42:13,080
Speaker 7: for sure, Like being on that schedule is pretty big.

952
00:42:13,120 --> 00:42:14,560
Speaker 6: You know, your body get used to it.

953
00:42:14,680 --> 00:42:17,080
Speaker 7: Eating at the same time, you know, just those little

954
00:42:17,120 --> 00:42:18,399
Speaker 7: things treatment at the same time.

955
00:42:18,480 --> 00:42:22,440
Speaker 2: So oh really eating at the same time, huh Gene.

956
00:42:22,400 --> 00:42:24,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, right, because if it's a half hour, even an

957
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:27,480
Speaker 3: hour or a half hour or hour whatever.

958
00:42:27,239 --> 00:42:28,960
Speaker 2: It's gonna affect you differently.

959
00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:30,160
Speaker 6: Next morning, yep.

960
00:42:30,160 --> 00:42:31,719
Speaker 7: So it's just I try to always eat at the

961
00:42:31,760 --> 00:42:33,799
Speaker 7: same around. I give myself like an hour, Like I

962
00:42:33,880 --> 00:42:36,919
Speaker 7: eat dinner like seven or eight, seven between seven and eight,

963
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:39,080
Speaker 7: So give my time an hour.

964
00:42:39,520 --> 00:42:42,960
Speaker 3: So you've got to be a fan of the kickoff rule, right,

965
00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:45,799
Speaker 3: that was implemented last year, and now this year it's

966
00:42:45,800 --> 00:42:47,280
Speaker 3: going to be even better, right.

967
00:42:47,200 --> 00:42:48,080
Speaker 6: Yes, right up, my ale.

968
00:42:48,200 --> 00:42:50,520
Speaker 7: You know, I was so excited for that, pulling for that,

969
00:42:50,680 --> 00:42:52,799
Speaker 7: but you know, like you said, last year it was

970
00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:54,640
Speaker 7: different too, but we I still didn't get a lot

971
00:42:54,680 --> 00:42:57,439
Speaker 7: of kick returns last year. So with it being changed again,

972
00:42:57,480 --> 00:42:59,360
Speaker 7: I'm excited. Is like, you have to kick it and

973
00:42:59,400 --> 00:43:00,799
Speaker 7: play now. Yeah, let's go.

974
00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:01,560

Speaker 2: He's like, we got Treymond back. Like he's so incredibly excited.

981
00:43:18,239 --> 00:43:22,680
Speaker 1: But I know that guys that play special teams, they're

982
00:43:22,719 --> 00:43:25,279
Speaker 1: excited to play for him, like his energy is infectious

983
00:43:25,320 --> 00:43:29,279

Speaker 3: couple of years and they will be here this year.

1002
00:44:11,239 --> 00:44:13,640
Speaker 3: So give us a little scouting report on that bow

1003
00:44:13,680 --> 00:44:16,480
Speaker 3: Knicks offense because they made some noise last ye.

1004
00:44:16,560 --> 00:44:19,960
Speaker 7: Yes, in all, congrats to them. You know it was

1005
00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:22,440
Speaker 7: no never bad blood between us either, but you know,

1006
00:44:22,520 --> 00:44:24,560
Speaker 7: bow Nicks is gonna be one of the quarterbacks we

1007
00:44:24,560 --> 00:44:26,720
Speaker 7: talked about in this league for a long time. He's

1008
00:44:26,920 --> 00:44:29,279
Speaker 7: he's grown. He grew up really fast. You know, came

1009
00:44:29,320 --> 00:44:30,800
Speaker 7: in as a rookie. You wouldn't even known he was

1010
00:44:30,840 --> 00:44:33,920
Speaker 7: a rookie. He just he just he always he already

1011
00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:35,960
Speaker 7: has that professional approach to the game. And I know

1012
00:44:36,040 --> 00:44:38,719
Speaker 7: he came out of college older, he played more years

1013
00:44:38,760 --> 00:44:41,000
Speaker 7: in college, but you can tell, you can definitely tell

1014
00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:43,040
Speaker 7: that difference. And he just it wasn't like he was

1015
00:44:43,080 --> 00:44:44,520
Speaker 7: a rookie last year, So I can give him that.

1016
00:44:44,560 --> 00:44:47,640
Speaker 7: And the Broncos offense they looking good to add some weapons,

1017
00:44:47,680 --> 00:44:47,880
Speaker 7: you know.

1018
00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:50,200
Speaker 6: So it's gonna be a fun game. And yes, I

1019
00:44:50,200 --> 00:44:51,359
Speaker 6: do have a circle as.

1020
00:44:51,320 --> 00:44:58,759
Speaker 3: A guy, oh good, as a guy who stands out

1021
00:44:58,840 --> 00:45:03,400
Speaker 3: defensively and teams. What does the quarterback mean to a

1022
00:45:03,440 --> 00:45:06,440
Speaker 3: player like you, whoever it might be? What what does

1023
00:45:06,480 --> 00:45:09,359
Speaker 3: the quarterback position mean to the other faces of the game,

1024
00:45:09,440 --> 00:45:10,840
Speaker 3: special teams and defense?

1025
00:45:11,120 --> 00:45:14,000
Speaker 7: Oh you know, you always think quarterback, you think leader,

1026
00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:17,120
Speaker 7: and that just goes to all the quarterback the great

1027
00:45:17,200 --> 00:45:19,480
Speaker 7: quarterbacks we do have in this league. So once I

1028
00:45:19,560 --> 00:45:22,359
Speaker 7: think of quarterback, I think of just leader. Somebody lead

1029
00:45:22,440 --> 00:45:25,759
Speaker 7: the team, very vocal and just doing the little things right,

1030
00:45:25,960 --> 00:45:28,279
Speaker 7: whether it's not vocal or not. And right when I

1031
00:45:28,280 --> 00:45:30,560
Speaker 7: got here, you can just tell CJ. You like, yeah,

1032
00:45:30,600 --> 00:45:32,200
Speaker 7: he's you know, he's that quarterback.

1033
00:45:32,239 --> 00:45:32,759
Speaker 6: He's that guy.

1034
00:45:32,840 --> 00:45:35,200
Speaker 7: So and I'm excited to watch him play first hand.

1035
00:45:35,200 --> 00:45:37,279
Speaker 7: You know, I've been keeping up with his game, but

1036
00:45:37,400 --> 00:45:38,279
Speaker 7: like to see a first hand.

1037
00:45:38,320 --> 00:45:39,040
Speaker 6: I'm really excited.

1038
00:45:39,040 --> 00:45:41,400
Speaker 3: And you're around some good ones. You're around Philip Rivers,

1039
00:45:41,440 --> 00:45:42,919
Speaker 3: You're around Aaron Rodgers.

1040
00:45:42,600 --> 00:45:45,799
Speaker 6: Patrick Mahomes. Yeah, so yeah, all that.

1041
00:45:46,160 --> 00:45:51,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, So when you get the call Houston wants to

1042
00:45:51,840 --> 00:45:55,560
Speaker 1: Houston wants to bring you back, what are you thinking.

1043
00:45:56,480 --> 00:45:57,560
Speaker 1: I couldn't stop smiling.

1044
00:45:57,600 --> 00:46:00,319
Speaker 7: Actually, from then on, I'm just staring at my phone

1045
00:46:00,320 --> 00:46:02,160
Speaker 7: waiting for my agent to call back and forth.

1046
00:46:02,280 --> 00:46:05,239
Speaker 6: Really and then with the it was just like it

1047
00:46:05,280 --> 00:46:06,200
Speaker 6: made it so easy.

1048
00:46:06,239 --> 00:46:06,440
Speaker 1: You know.

1049
00:46:06,600 --> 00:46:09,759
Speaker 7: I've talked to Frankie of course, Dino. You know, it's

1050
00:46:09,800 --> 00:46:12,280
Speaker 7: just it's new coaches, but it's still for me faces

1051
00:46:12,280 --> 00:46:15,200
Speaker 7: like I was with Gerard Johnson, the quarterback.

1052
00:46:14,800 --> 00:46:16,040
Speaker 6: Coach in India as well.

1053
00:46:16,760 --> 00:46:18,759
Speaker 7: It's still it's new coaches, but it's still a lot

1054
00:46:18,760 --> 00:46:22,600
Speaker 7: of familiar I was with Corey cu and Philly, so

1055
00:46:23,200 --> 00:46:26,360
Speaker 7: it's still like new coaches. But I ran in, I

1056
00:46:26,480 --> 00:46:28,640
Speaker 7: ran in the past and into them, so it's.

1057
00:46:28,480 --> 00:46:31,160
Speaker 2: Good cool Treymont, thanks a lot for joining us. Great

1058
00:46:31,160 --> 00:46:31,680
Speaker 2: to see a back.

1059
00:46:31,719 --> 00:46:33,279
Speaker 6: Thank you, thanks for having me man.

1060
00:46:33,320 --> 00:46:37,920
Speaker 1: It's great to have Tremont back. Special teams, corner opportunities,

1061
00:46:38,200 --> 00:46:43,120
Speaker 1: return opportunities. Boy, he is a Swiss army knife that

1062
00:46:43,160 --> 00:46:45,399
Speaker 1: can be utilized in a lot of different ways for

1063
00:46:45,560 --> 00:46:48,520
Speaker 1: this particular team. And unlike a lot of swistarmony knifs,

1064
00:46:48,560 --> 00:46:52,000
Speaker 1: as my man Landry Locker would conclude, they're not real good,

1065
00:46:52,400 --> 00:46:54,839
Speaker 1: Treymond is good. He's good at everything that he does

1066
00:46:54,880 --> 00:46:57,000
Speaker 1: on the football field, very valuable for this team and

1067
00:46:57,080 --> 00:47:00,960
