1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:01,200
Speaker 1: What's up, everybody.

2
00:00:01,240 --> 00:00:04,519
Speaker 2: Welcome in to a Wednesday edition of Texans All Access

3
00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:08,000
Speaker 2: John Harris alongside the Voice of the Texans, Mark vandermir Mark.

4
00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:11,559
Speaker 2: It was Ota Wednesday. We had a chance to be

5
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:14,200
Speaker 2: out there sweat a little bit. We'll get into your

6
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:14,920
Speaker 2: thoughts in a segment.

7
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:17,000
Speaker 3: How you doing, my man, I'm doing great and I

8
00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:19,600
Speaker 3: love being out there today. I love watching them practice,

9
00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:21,759
Speaker 3: no matter what time of year it is. You know this, Johnny.

10
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:24,840
Speaker 3: I like watching them operate. This new coaching staff, the

11
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:29,200
Speaker 3: energy around them, and anytime. Look, we've seen a few

12
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:34,199
Speaker 3: new coaching staffs lately. Okay, unfortunately two years ago, new staff,

13
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:38,080
Speaker 3: last year, relatively new staff. But this is different. This

14
00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:39,840
Speaker 3: has a different vibe to it. Some of the guys

15
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:41,960
Speaker 3: remained the same. You have Jacquesa's air out there. It

16
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 3: was there last year at the defensive line coach, and

17
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:46,360
Speaker 3: we're gonna catch up with Chris Strasser in a bit here.

18
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:49,839
Speaker 3: But there's just something about it watching Demico operate with

19
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:52,479
Speaker 3: the entire staff squad and then get down to some

20
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:55,600
Speaker 3: individual work with people. That's one of the treats of

21
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:58,080
Speaker 3: being out there and being able to observe up close.

22
00:00:58,240 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 1: Yeah. No, doubt you mentioned Chris Strass.

23
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 2: You're gonna us in the show in our next segment.

24
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:05,039
Speaker 2: We got to get our observations. I mean, obviously people

25
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 2: know I've been writing observations for a long time. They

26
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 2: changed names, we kind of give it a different name,

27
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 2: Harris Hits. It wanted to win his protection program as

28
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 2: Harris Hits. But it really is observations. We're gonna get

29
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 2: those a second. Drew Door is gonna be by in

30
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:20,119
Speaker 2: a little while to do a little in the lab

31
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:23,200
Speaker 2: as well. I imagine we'll talk about OTAs as well.

32
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:26,560
Speaker 2: Excited to talk to coach about the offensive line and

33
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 2: just the process. And I always love meeting new coaches,

34
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:31,680
Speaker 2: so that's gonna be that's gonna be cool. But our takeaways,

35
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 2: our observations from OTA practice. I guess what number two

36
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:41,039
Speaker 2: for us to watch? I think two second week? Your thoughts, first,

37
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:42,400
Speaker 2: first observation I'll leave for you.

38
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:45,959
Speaker 3: Well, everybody's talking about CJ. Stroud, and I think that

39
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 3: you're seeing some ascension here, right. You're seeing them get

40
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 3: better each time you see them out there, and that's good.

41
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 1: That's what you want to see. You want to see

42
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 1: this improvement.

43
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 3: I think that somebody asked me yesterday who's looking.

44
00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 1: Better right now?

45
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 3: Mills or Stroud? And I thought, look, Davis has been

46
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 3: in the league. This is his third year, twenty five

47
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 3: starts under his belt. I think it's steady as she goes.

48
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 3: I see some real spike plays from CJ.

49
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 1: Stroud. Wow, look at that throw.

50
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:15,519
Speaker 3: Look at that throw and to see the improvement, it's

51
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 3: fun to watch, like I said, and we'll see where

52
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 3: it goes. We're only week two of OTA's here, full

53
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 3: squad working at together, veterans, rookies, but so far, so

54
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 3: good with him. And then you look at the energy

55
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 3: on defense. We talked about the personnel last night. To

56
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:34,079
Speaker 3: see all these guys operate together, I'm really optimistic about

57
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 3: what they're going to be able to do.

58
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 1: What do I always say, though? What did I say

59
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 1: the last two years?

60
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 3: I think the last two years the defense was a

61
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 3: little bit better than their numbers would indicate. It's just

62
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 3: that the offense couldn't hold onto the ball. Score put

63
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 3: pressure on the opponent, that kind of thing. And by

64
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:50,639
Speaker 3: put pressure, I mean score score some points to make

65
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,520
Speaker 3: the opponent have to throw the football, have to do

66
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 3: some things, and then you can get after them.

67
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 1: A little bit better.

68
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 3: I think this year's team will be able to do

69
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:00,520
Speaker 3: much more of that and improve greatly.

70
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 2: I think watching rookies progress from one week to the

71
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:11,359
Speaker 2: next is all. It'll be my first observation, and I'm

72
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 2: focusing mainly on the wide receivers because it is it's

73
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 2: a good point. As we were told so often, it's

74
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 2: it's a passing camp to passing camp. I still think

75
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 2: for the offensive line of defensive line miss a really

76
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:28,639
Speaker 2: important time because you're installing new systems or at least

77
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:30,639
Speaker 2: new verbiage on both sides of the ball.

78
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 1: So it's important that you go through all that process.

79
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 2: But we know the physical part up front isn't isn't

80
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 2: there no popping a pads in any of that, So

81
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 2: you got to focus on the pass catchers.

82
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 1: The dbs, those things.

83
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 2: To watch Xavier Hutchinson last week at OTAs and watch

84
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 2: him this week at OTAs WOW.

85
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 1: Last week I felt like.

86
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 2: I was watching maybe freshman year Xavier Hutchinson at Iowa State.

87
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 2: Today I felt like I was watching at least junior

88
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 2: senior year Xavier Hutchinson, where he was the best receiver

89
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 2: maybe arguably the best offensive player in the Big twelve

90
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 2: outside of the John Robinson, and he was fantastic.

91
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 1: He made a couple of catches.

92
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 2: There was one that he made where he had to

93
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 2: go low to get it, and it's one of those

94
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 2: where as you're going low, you know a lot of

95
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:16,719
Speaker 2: guys will kind of cradle it and get underneath it. Yeah,

96
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:17,479
Speaker 2: and there's always like.

97
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 1: Oh, did he catch it? Did he not?

98
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:22,159
Speaker 2: He literally caught it, had it in his hands. So

99
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 2: when he turned on the ground and hit the ground,

100
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:27,280
Speaker 2: he had the ball in his hand. It was basically

101
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 2: like he was showing the ref he had the ball,

102
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 2: and I was like, your heart, that is your heart.

103
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:34,719
Speaker 2: That is especially for you guys six ' three to

104
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:38,159
Speaker 2: make that catch. Jared Wayne made one heck of a

105
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:43,040
Speaker 2: catch down the sidelines. It was but those two rookies

106
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 2: in particular, and obviously Tank, he continues to be, you know,

107
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 2: kind of a pest for the defense. He was busy

108
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 2: areas where he can get to mark that other guys

109
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 2: just can't because he's just so explosive. So that to

110
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:59,039
Speaker 2: me was kind of, you know, one of my major

111
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:02,359
Speaker 2: observations how the rookie receiver seemed to be.

112
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 1: Settling.

113
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:06,480
Speaker 2: It is the right word, but they're really kind of

114
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 2: showing that they belong. Whereas week one you kind of

115
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:13,719
Speaker 2: could see I mean you couldn't see it, but you

116
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 2: can kind of feel like Mano boy eyes wide, you know,

117
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 2: bright Light's big city store thing. Today it felt like

118
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 2: just easing in, just part of the group, just doing

119
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 2: their thing, and not only part of the group, but

120
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 2: really kind of standing out.

121
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 3: Two observations based on what you just said, Hutchinson. If

122
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:32,920
Speaker 3: I didn't know anything and I just walked out there

123
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 3: today and you and I got to see a huge

124
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 3: chunk of this whole thing, I would think, wait, where

125
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 3: was this guy drafted? Yeah, exactly, because he looks like

126
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:43,159
Speaker 3: he should have been drafted a lot higher.

127
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:45,479
Speaker 1: Now, who knows where it goes.

128
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:49,720
Speaker 3: I'm not declaring Marcus Colston right here with Xavier Hutchinson,

129
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 3: good one.

130
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 1: That's a good comparison too, But that's what you want.

131
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 3: You want to have the lower round draft choice who

132
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 3: shines turns into a favorite, turns into a real star.

133
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 3: And I'm not putting on him yet. I'm just saying

134
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 3: you are absolutely right. Just the eye test of last

135
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 3: week to this week.

136
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 1: Wow.

137
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 3: And then in the elite relative to this team, the

138
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 3: top shelf. I should say, let's not use the word

139
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 3: e league because that gets misconstrued. The top shelf. Don't

140
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:20,920
Speaker 3: forget about me guy category. Nico Collins, Hello, friends, Maybe

141
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:24,039
Speaker 3: Nico Collins can catch the football. And what do we

142
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:26,719
Speaker 3: always say about Nico gotta stay healthy. Well, he's healthy

143
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 3: right now and it is definitely noticeable what he can

144
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 3: do for your offense.

145
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 1: And you mentioned him yesterday as a possibility.

146
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:38,920
Speaker 3: That was the chessboard move and the three most valuable

147
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:43,040
Speaker 3: texts non quarterback, and you put that piece on Nico

148
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:45,240
Speaker 3: and then you kind of took it off thinking maybe not.

149
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 3: But Nico, if he's that healthy, that consistent, he'll be

150
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:52,040
Speaker 3: one of the most valuable players on this team, right absolutely.

151
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 1: I mean I don't think there's any question to that.

152
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 2: He's with his body size, his I mean, he's not

153
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:04,599
Speaker 2: a blazer off the line of scrimmage, but he can fly. Yeah,

154
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 2: he can really get build up speed going down the

155
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 2: field and really really fly. So he's as fun to

156
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 2: watch to me and fun to kind of keep an

157
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 2: eye on in this whole thing. But when you think

158
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 2: about Hutchinson, Jared Wayne, Nico, big guys, I mean big

159
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 2: targets and not that everybody needs to be a big target,

160
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 2: but that I thought kind of when you brought Nico's, Like, man,

161
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 2: those guys are all big. Now Tank is the complete

162
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 2: opposite of that. He is the complete opposite. And they

163
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 2: have some kind of you know in between as well.

164
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 2: But to have physical receivers like that, and look, I

165
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 2: Jared Wayne was un drafted free agent. I don't know

166
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 2: where where that goes for him. And even Xavier Hutchinson

167
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 2: was a six rounder. I don't want to say, you're

168
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 2: gonna feel like you got free money in your pocket.

169
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 2: But Xavier Hutchinson turns out and continues to progress like

170
00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 2: we've been seeing him, that's gonna feel like twenty dollars

171
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 2: found in your pocket in a big, big way.

172
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 1: You know.

173
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 3: When you listen to us and we do the training

174
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:06,640
Speaker 3: camp shows, we do these shows during OTA's it's a

175
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 3: ninety man roster, we tend to fall in love at

176
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 3: least have flirtation in a football sense. YEP, with guys

177
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:16,520
Speaker 3: on the ninety man roster who probably won't make the team.

178
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 3: Not everybody, but a lot of these guys, we get

179
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 3: to know them. We're with them in the hallways, we

180
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 3: interview them, we see them out on the practice field,

181
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 3: so we focus in on these players. And it's important

182
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 3: because many of these players tend to be guys who

183
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 3: do make the fifty three man roster, maybe not right away,

184
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:33,080
Speaker 3: but you call them up there on the practice squad.

185
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 3: They're available when you have injuries and you're able to

186
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 3: bring them aboard. That's why it's important to focus on

187
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 3: everybody right now, this time of year.

188
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 1: And this is Texans Radio, this is what we do.

189
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 3: Mike Boone, Johnny Ah another player I saw making plays today.

190
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:50,720
Speaker 3: Running back who's got wheels, can catch the ball and

191
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:52,199
Speaker 3: will I like him?

192
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:53,280
Speaker 1: He's in his fifth season.

193
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, he is to me, he's an interesting fit inness offense.

194
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 2: And we talked about what running back will emerge from

195
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:11,720
Speaker 2: the group that is, there's Piercer Singletary, what running back?

196
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:17,440
Speaker 2: The Dopes, the Boons, the who I'm missing a Valide,

197
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:22,200
Speaker 2: you know who of that group stands out and becomes

198
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 2: that number three guy. Dar Daria's Benett guy. He was

199
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:26,680
Speaker 2: that guy last year. I felt like I always feel

200
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:28,680
Speaker 2: like Darry slept On. I just kind of feel that way.

201
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:32,400
Speaker 2: He's so solid. Mike Boone watched him today because Week

202
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:34,720
Speaker 2: one I don't remember seeing him. I don't know if

203
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 2: he was just rehabbing or or just not available or

204
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 2: what it was, but he was more than president on Wednesday.

205
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:46,600
Speaker 1: To notice guy. Yes, he's the impost in that category

206
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 1: for sure.

207
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 2: And the one thing that I really liked today was

208
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 2: seeing how often the running backs were utilized, not on checkdowns,

209
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:04,240
Speaker 2: not on just swing routes, I mean down the field

210
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:07,160
Speaker 2: and other areas where you don't always expect running backs

211
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:10,560
Speaker 2: to be able to win routes to get to to

212
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 2: be be a pass catcher.

213
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:14,160
Speaker 1: There were there were three that I.

214
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:18,440
Speaker 2: Can think of during the day downfield, down the field right.

215
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 2: And guess what we always talk about how hard it

216
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:23,240
Speaker 2: is to cover a running back, You know where it's

217
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:27,439
Speaker 2: really hard or harder downfield when they start to get

218
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:30,080
Speaker 2: a little bit more speed and you design something really

219
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:32,520
Speaker 2: good for them. There are a lot of possibilities in

220
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 2: this offense for that kind of thing. We've all seen

221
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:36,960
Speaker 2: San Francisco. Look, that's our only comparison right now, the

222
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:39,080
Speaker 2: whole Kobiak and Shanahan history.

223
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 1: We get it.

224
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 3: But Bobby Slowick is going to bring a little bit

225
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:47,199
Speaker 3: of that and everything else to what this offense will become.

226
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm I start watching this offense and that I

227
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 1: try and stop myself from getting really really excited because

228
00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 1: we haven't seen what the run game is.

229
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 2: We're gonna be at all we have. We we have

230
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:05,560
Speaker 2: an idea. And you see some of the the Shanon

231
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:07,000
Speaker 2: what is Seth call.

232
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 3: Ithastan or something. I call it Koubiyaki. Yeah, and I

233
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:14,080
Speaker 3: don't put the Shanahan name in there. I probably should

234
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 3: look this all goes back to Bill Walsh, right.

235
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 2: Right, yeah, sort of Paul Brown. Bill Walsh handed to

236
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 2: the Shanahi and then you go from there. But what

237
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 2: Bobby Slowck's offense. It's gonna be Bobby Slow's offense, and

238
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:36,080
Speaker 2: it's gonna be a whether it's a complete one facsimile

239
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:38,560
Speaker 2: of what Kyle was doing in San Francisco, I don't

240
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:41,200
Speaker 2: think it will be. I feel like guys like Ben

241
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:46,600
Speaker 2: Johnson with the Lions, Bobby Slowick, when when they've gotten

242
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:49,240
Speaker 2: their opportunity. Now we don't know with Slowick, but I

243
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:52,320
Speaker 2: watched Ben Johnson with the Lions, and I think, man,

244
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 2: whatever tree he came out of, he's just taking his

245
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:56,680
Speaker 2: branches and go.

246
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 1: And building a whole darn new tree.

247
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 2: Because the offense that you watch there and you're like,

248
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 2: that's not an offense I've seen before, Like I see

249
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 2: elements of it, but they're doing things that only Ben

250
00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:12,480
Speaker 2: Johnson and the Lions are doing. And so my hope

251
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 2: is that Bobby will do that here, Bobby will take, Okay,

252
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 2: here's the genesis of this offense. But we're gonna tweak this,

253
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 2: and we're gonna do this and you're gonna add this.

254
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:23,960
Speaker 1: And that's what Kyle Shanahan did.

255
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 2: He took what his dad had done, he took with

256
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 2: Gary Kubiak had done, and he's like, Okay, you did this,

257
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:33,120
Speaker 2: We're gonna tweak this. And what I think to me

258
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 2: the most, the one that I remember the most with

259
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 2: Kyle in particular, was the throwback off the bootleg, where

260
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:45,640
Speaker 2: I never remembered the Broncos with Shanahan, They'd run at Bootleg.

261
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 1: Boot Leg all day, all day, all day.

262
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 2: And then I remember seeing Owen Daniels, and you know

263
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:52,079
Speaker 2: how I watched the game, especially at the time, I

264
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:53,960
Speaker 2: would watch it from the press box and I would

265
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:56,320
Speaker 2: see you on Daniels starting at long Over route like

266
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:58,680
Speaker 2: it's gonna be the bootleg, and then and he go

267
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 2: back the other way, and then Andre Johnson did. I

268
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:03,839
Speaker 2: was like, oh, I like that wrinkle. So there are

269
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:06,319
Speaker 2: things you build upon. And so Kyle then took that

270
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 2: and when he went to ran his own offense, that's

271
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:12,599
Speaker 2: the where you go. I'm hoping that Bobby does that

272
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:14,600
Speaker 2: with this offense. He's like, you know, these are the

273
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:18,040
Speaker 2: things that we did, but I've got this talent, so

274
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:21,040
Speaker 2: maybe we can do this. Maybe we can do something different,

275
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:22,720
Speaker 2: but the elements are going to still be there. But

276
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:25,679
Speaker 2: I think I'm really curious how Bobby is going to

277
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:30,280
Speaker 2: expand this offense and what especially that looks like in

278
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:32,640
Speaker 2: the run game and all the different wrinkles, because I

279
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 2: think a lot of people think, oh, it's the Zone run,

280
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 2: it is his Zone run game, but there are so

281
00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:40,320
Speaker 2: many different intricacies within that running game.

282
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 1: I'm really excited to see that. What's wrong with the

283
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 1: Zone run game anyway? Not much? Pretty effective.

284
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:48,120
Speaker 3: Also, what's the sound you just made for the audio

285
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:49,960
Speaker 3: cutback or change of direction?

286
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 1: The whistle? Yeah, that's it. That's good.

287
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 3: I'm going to use that in the play by play

288
00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 3: cuts back. I can't whistle like that. I can't do it.

289
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:01,679
Speaker 3: It is one of the things I have no musical ability.

290
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 1: You know that whistle. You have all the musical ability

291
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:05,800
Speaker 1: in this in this duel. Yeah, but I can't whistle.

292
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:07,320
Speaker 1: But I can whistle that I can do.

293
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 3: I can sing in a certain range. I have about

294
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:14,680
Speaker 3: four notes. Oh say, can you I can stay down

295
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:15,959
Speaker 3: there and it's pretty decent.

296
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:17,600
Speaker 2: My kids would get mad at me at the mall

297
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 2: because they would go off and do their thing and

298
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 2: I was like, all right, it's time to go.

299
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 1: And I would see one of them ahead and I'd

300
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:23,640
Speaker 1: just be like, and I would.

301
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 2: Whistle, and oh Dad, why especially when their teenagers, because

302
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 2: that would that would embarrass them and embarrass them in

303
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:35,000
Speaker 2: the absolute correct way from a defensive perspective. You know,

304
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:37,920
Speaker 2: we haven't talked too much about that. I think you

305
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:40,800
Speaker 2: you mentioned this last night and talking about Jimmy Ward.

306
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 2: I think Jimmy Ward, I don't think it's going to

307
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:48,520
Speaker 2: be a Jonathan Joseph quite impact because I don't. I mean,

308
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:52,480
Speaker 2: Jonathan was younger and he was one of the top

309
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:54,600
Speaker 2: corners in the league at that point. Jimmy's been in

310
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 2: the league for a little bit. Any place play safety,

311
00:14:57,720 --> 00:14:58,120
Speaker 2: that's it.

312
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:03,160
Speaker 1: I think Jimmy Ward can have a really significant impact

313
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:03,960
Speaker 1: on this defense.

314
00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 3: What about Petrie alone, Well, yeah, Petrie alone, not that

315
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 3: he needs it, but the benefit.

316
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:10,040
Speaker 1: Of that right exactly.

317
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:13,280
Speaker 2: And you can just see as you watching Jimmy just

318
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:16,720
Speaker 2: he understands, he knows this. You can tell he knows

319
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:19,040
Speaker 2: his defense because he knows where he needs to be.

320
00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:22,880
Speaker 2: So he might be doing some disguises or you know, bluffing,

321
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:25,000
Speaker 2: and he knows to get back to a spot.

322
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 1: He knows what we used to.

323
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:28,120
Speaker 2: You could tell everybody's kind of people are trying to

324
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:31,640
Speaker 2: think through this a little bit, and which is okay.

325
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:32,960
Speaker 2: I mean, you got you gotta think through it. But

326
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 2: it's got to become rote memory, like Okay, I see this,

327
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 2: I do this as opposed to wait, I saw this, Okay,

328
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:39,080
Speaker 2: what do I do? It's got to be rote memory,

329
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 2: and I think it will be. But I think the

330
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:45,560
Speaker 2: addition of Jimmy Ward has an impact felt all. I

331
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:49,360
Speaker 2: mean just corner position. I think Derek Stingley has helped

332
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 2: by having Jimmy Ward there. I think Jimmy Ward helps

333
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:57,520
Speaker 2: Jandln Petrie unbelievably. I think that Jimmy Ward helps the linebackers.

334
00:15:57,560 --> 00:15:59,760
Speaker 2: Whoever is going to be calm plays in the middle,

335
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:02,360
Speaker 2: where its Denzel Paraman or Christian Kirksey or maybe even

336
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:07,200
Speaker 2: Henry Totoe, who knows he's gonna help those guys. And

337
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:09,760
Speaker 2: I think eventually, because of what you can do with Jimmy,

338
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:11,800
Speaker 2: I think he might be involved in a blitz game

339
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:14,200
Speaker 2: too at some point, so he's gonna help that defensive

340
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 2: line as well communicating with them. I think Jimmy Warre

341
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:19,800
Speaker 2: can have an impact, maybe using the Danielle Manning impact.

342
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 1: Who's the Jimmy Ward of the offense? Is it Robert Woods?

343
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:26,800
Speaker 2: I think that's probably probably true. I think maybe the

344
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:29,960
Speaker 2: other one would be Dalton Schultz. Okay, and you know,

345
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:33,280
Speaker 2: when Dalton really becomes ingrained in this offense, I could

346
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:34,960
Speaker 2: but I think it could be Dalton Schultz because I

347
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:37,960
Speaker 2: think he's gonna be such an outlet for for CJ

348
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:41,360
Speaker 2: and the things that Dalton can see to just relay, Hey,

349
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:42,960
Speaker 2: this is how they're playing us up here, and he's

350
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:45,640
Speaker 2: got the experience. I just think those guys that that

351
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:48,800
Speaker 2: on the interior passing game, you know, be it the

352
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:51,800
Speaker 2: you know the slot receiver types, you know, the the

353
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:55,920
Speaker 2: Julian Edelman types. You know, Elijah Moore when he was

354
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:57,440
Speaker 2: kind of a slot receiver of the Jets, and you

355
00:16:57,440 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 2: know Dalton Schultz, those guys that kind of do all

356
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 2: that stuff in the inside. I think they give you

357
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:05,360
Speaker 2: and give quarterbacks a really good snapshot of what they're seeing, like, hey,

358
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:07,879
Speaker 2: here's what you saw, Here's what they did to me

359
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:09,840
Speaker 2: on this. I think that gives a quarterback okay, well

360
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 2: that must be what Okay. Then if that's the case,

361
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:14,680
Speaker 2: then this is what they're doing out there out in

362
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:16,960
Speaker 2: the second area. So I think Schultz can really be

363
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:21,680
Speaker 2: that guy that can help can help CJ. Davis whomever

364
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:25,080
Speaker 2: at quarterback, but helping a particular rookie quarterback. Just both

365
00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:27,200
Speaker 2: guys being young, I think Schultz can end up being

366
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:32,200
Speaker 2: that guy. But defensively, it's the combination of Ward and

367
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:35,439
Speaker 2: Petrie gets really really intriguing, and I think both of

368
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 2: them can have a real, real high impact on Derek

369
00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:38,800
Speaker 2: Stingley this year.

370
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:40,760
Speaker 3: I would love to have a miked up of Ward

371
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:43,440
Speaker 3: talking with the other dbs in the building, outside of

372
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:47,080
Speaker 3: the building, just being around, how he addresses them, what

373
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:47,920
Speaker 3: he tells them.

374
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:49,320
Speaker 1: You mentioned sting Petrie.

375
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:53,360
Speaker 3: Two second year players Steven Nelson haven't seen him out

376
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:55,719
Speaker 3: there yet. The farmer's got a lot of farming to do,

377
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:56,840
Speaker 3: so we'll see how that goes.

378
00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:57,720
Speaker 1: The key time the farm.

379
00:17:57,800 --> 00:17:59,080
Speaker 3: But I think there are a lot of coaches on

380
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 3: the field here. Jimmy I'll leave guys out, but Jimmy Ward,

381
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:05,120
Speaker 3: I think Kirksey has some of that in him.

382
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:09,000
Speaker 1: I go to offense, Robert Woods, Chase Keenum.

383
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:11,800
Speaker 3: There are others as well, But there are a lot

384
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:14,320
Speaker 3: of coaches on the field who can really help. I

385
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:17,000
Speaker 3: saw Woods over with the quarterbacks today and an individual

386
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:19,720
Speaker 3: mental kind of thing, and I think he was the

387
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:22,280
Speaker 3: only receiver over there. I think he just decided I'm

388
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:23,520
Speaker 3: going to go over there and be with these guys

389
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:25,520
Speaker 3: right now. That was pretty cool when I.

390
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:28,520
Speaker 2: Think about But I just think about a job, anybody's

391
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:31,760
Speaker 2: job that's out there, and a young person going into

392
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:32,359
Speaker 2: a job.

393
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:36,520
Speaker 1: And I recall first time I was a teacher.

394
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:41,800
Speaker 2: I could get through period one, in period two, I

395
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:43,919
Speaker 2: could get through that. I could kind of fake my

396
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:45,959
Speaker 2: way through it in some sense. I could kind of

397
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:50,640
Speaker 2: go from But the things of managing the classroom, how

398
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:53,639
Speaker 2: how do you manage the kids, make sure like total

399
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:54,679
Speaker 2: chaos is not going on?

400
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:56,160
Speaker 1: How do you get their attention at all?

401
00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:58,920
Speaker 2: Times, you know, having a teacher next door to be

402
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:01,200
Speaker 2: able to say, forget her name was. I mean I

403
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:03,480
Speaker 2: had plenty of them, but Candy Edwards was right next door,

404
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:07,359
Speaker 2: and she was just like, you know, if you need help.

405
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 1: I'm always here.

406
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:09,879
Speaker 2: And I would always kind of, hey, well what about

407
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:11,879
Speaker 2: this student, or how do you think I handle this?

408
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:13,879
Speaker 2: Just have somebody there to be able to kind of

409
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:16,399
Speaker 2: guide you through those until you're the person doing that

410
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 2: for somebody else. I think that's where Robert Woods is

411
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:20,800
Speaker 2: in his career. That's where case Keenum is in his career.

412
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:23,600
Speaker 2: I got all this knowledge, I'm still in the game.

413
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:27,639
Speaker 2: I gotta share it. I gotta I gotta give this gift,

414
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:30,480
Speaker 2: if you will, to the young players. And so they

415
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:32,480
Speaker 2: carry it on and obviously you pay it forward. And

416
00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:34,560
Speaker 2: but that's kind of the way I look at Robert Woods,

417
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:36,680
Speaker 2: like he's taken all that knowledge of you know, think

418
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 2: of that that twenty eighteen team that goes to the

419
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:40,879
Speaker 2: Super Bowl, even the twenty twenty one team, you know

420
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:42,520
Speaker 2: for the Rams that goes to the super Bowl, and

421
00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:45,600
Speaker 2: he could share the things they saw with.

422
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:46,760
Speaker 1: The young quarterbacks.

423
00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:50,080
Speaker 2: I just think that's so invaluable for young players to

424
00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:54,360
Speaker 2: have those mentor types, but you got to have the

425
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:57,399
Speaker 2: right mentor types the right guys. And I feel like

426
00:19:57,680 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 2: those are guys that we all mentioned that are the

427
00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:00,760
Speaker 2: right guys to have.

428
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:03,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think there are several others. I think when Laramie,

429
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:05,439
Speaker 3: you know, gets his foot in the door, and you know,

430
00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:06,919
Speaker 3: not that he hasn't been in the door, but you

431
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:09,600
Speaker 3: know what I'm saying, When Larami gets fully baked into

432
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:12,639
Speaker 3: this offense, that'll be another guy he wore the C

433
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:14,359
Speaker 3: last year. I don't know how they're gonna handle all

434
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:17,840
Speaker 3: that on this staff, this squad, But like I said,

435
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:20,960
Speaker 3: it's a young staff. There are some older guys. We

436
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:22,960
Speaker 3: were about to talk to one in Chris Strasser. Not

437
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:24,679
Speaker 3: that he's older, because he's fifty nine, and that's not

438
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:29,480
Speaker 3: old Johnny. Life begins at fifty nine. Yeah, but I

439
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:34,000
Speaker 3: think it's young in energy, but it feels experienced when

440
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:37,000
Speaker 3: you're out there watching them operate and everything is going

441
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:42,920
Speaker 3: at a very nice clip, stationed to station, execution, instruction.

442
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:44,320
Speaker 1: All the way around.

443
00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:46,240
Speaker 3: I don't know how they feel about how they're doing

444
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:48,399
Speaker 3: right now, but it looks pretty good to me. Remember

445
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:51,239
Speaker 3: when O'Brien got here and I'm not going to say

446
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:53,280
Speaker 3: anything funny about it. I think it's really cool that

447
00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:55,760
Speaker 3: he went out there with the coaches in April or

448
00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:58,359
Speaker 3: something before the players showed up, and they practiced how

449
00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:02,040
Speaker 3: they're going to practice. They just used supporting cast members.

450
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:03,760
Speaker 3: I actually wanted to be one of them in run routes.

451
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:06,760
Speaker 1: But yeah, it too. That didn't happen. It probably wasn't

452
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 1: good for us to be out there, but they practiced

453
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:09,520
Speaker 1: how they're going to operate.

454
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:11,399
Speaker 3: But I think that was O'Brien coming back to the

455
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:13,679
Speaker 3: NFL after being in college and everything. I think Demico

456
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:15,520
Speaker 3: and his staff they might have done that too, for

457
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:18,639
Speaker 3: all I know, because I'm not sure, but they have

458
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 3: this thing running really smoothly right now.

459
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:24,159
Speaker 1: I know it's just Chris, it's practice. I get it.

460
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 3: But it's really important to get your timing down this

461
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:30,240
Speaker 3: time of year. John mcclan will say, I never saw

462
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:33,480
Speaker 3: anything in OTAs that made me think of anything that

463
00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:36,000
Speaker 3: was gonna happen to the whatever he says about OTAs,

464
00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:38,399
Speaker 3: but it's really important to get timing. And he acknowledges

465
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:42,359
Speaker 3: that timing knowledge in and out of the huddle, stuff

466
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:45,399
Speaker 3: that you take for granted when you're watching football being played.

467
00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:48,840
Speaker 3: That stuff has to be seamless. Once you get to

468
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:50,200
Speaker 3: that stage where you're playing games.

469
00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:54,040
Speaker 1: That is a great, great point, seamless. You want things

470
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 1: to be seamless by the time you get back for training.

471
00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:57,440
Speaker 1: That's the whole thing. You want to get back for

472
00:21:57,520 --> 00:21:58,119
Speaker 1: training camp.

473
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:03,719
Speaker 2: And you just think about stealing a rep today and

474
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:06,400
Speaker 2: getting an extra rep because you can go because you're

475
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:09,000
Speaker 2: crisper with what you're doing. You don't have to stop

476
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:12,959
Speaker 2: and do some things or reteach something. You steal two reps,

477
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 2: you steal two reps of practice, a couple reps in

478
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:18,639
Speaker 2: a walk through. All of a sudden, you steal twenty

479
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:22,320
Speaker 2: reps in a week or do an additional twenty reps

480
00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:25,320
Speaker 2: in a week, and then that just multiplies and before

481
00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:27,960
Speaker 2: you know it, it's all those extra reps that you've

482
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:31,360
Speaker 2: stolen because you've got things the way that they're supposed

483
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:34,520
Speaker 2: to be and things are clicking and you're crisp, and

484
00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:36,520
Speaker 2: who knows whether that turns into the play you make

485
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:39,240
Speaker 2: in the fourth quarter of you know, game in week four,

486
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:41,879
Speaker 2: you know, playing the Jaguars or whatever it might be.

487
00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:45,560
Speaker 1: So you're right that that has stood out to me

488
00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:46,240
Speaker 1: a lot.

489
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:51,040
Speaker 2: There's this is very much philet min yon, not a

490
00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:54,280
Speaker 2: lot of fat. Yeah, this is not a This is

491
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:57,399
Speaker 2: not a marbled ribbi, which is good.

492
00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:01,439
Speaker 1: But that filet minyon is lean, clean and get the

493
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:04,359
Speaker 1: right marble. You gotta get the right marbled, Rabbi.

494
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:07,200
Speaker 3: It's gotta be a good quality piece of meat, nonetheless,

495
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:10,480
Speaker 3: and you gotta cook it correctly. Don't over cook, my Rabbi. Yes,

496
00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:13,639
Speaker 3: do not over cook it. That is a crime. If

497
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:15,120
Speaker 3: I order medium, you can't.

498
00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:17,920
Speaker 2: Although Ninja would tell you, Antonio Smith would tell you

499
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:21,440
Speaker 2: that you definitely want it well done.

500
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:24,159
Speaker 1: He wants it well done. He wants he wanted I

501
00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:26,320
Speaker 1: remember reading this is it for health reasons or I

502
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:26,679
Speaker 1: don't know.

503
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:29,120
Speaker 2: He loves a well done steak, which blew me away.

504
00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:31,119
Speaker 2: I don't want it too rare, No, I want to pink.

505
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:33,959
Speaker 2: I like medium plus, pink red that kind of thing.

506
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:34,360
Speaker 2: I'm good.

507
00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:36,800
Speaker 3: Oh you like medium plus. The thing is what I

508
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:39,399
Speaker 3: learned when I moved to Texas was medium. Here is

509
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:42,320
Speaker 3: medium rare up north right, Yes, so you kind of

510
00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:45,240
Speaker 3: get into that. But sometimes I don't know. Sometimes I

511
00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:48,080
Speaker 3: just look, I'd rather have it too light, and then

512
00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:50,600
Speaker 3: I got to send it back right. I'm too rare,

513
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:52,119
Speaker 3: and then I gotta said it. I don't mind sending

514
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:55,280
Speaker 3: it back. Now, when you send back food, I get it,

515
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:57,680
Speaker 3: but but they acknowledge it. Sometimes I get it and

516
00:23:57,720 --> 00:23:59,800
Speaker 3: it's breathing still, and then I need to cook the

517
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:00,520
Speaker 3: bit more.

518
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:02,199
Speaker 2: I remember a buddy in my one time we were

519
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:04,720
Speaker 2: on a work trip. This is before I got back

520
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:08,480
Speaker 2: to Houston, and he literally told the waitress, I want

521
00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:11,320
Speaker 2: you to kiss that on both sides on the grill.

522
00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:13,720
Speaker 1: And that's it. Oh my gosh, let's stake targ time

523
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:15,240
Speaker 1: like I'm out. I'm out.

524
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:17,880
Speaker 2: I'm out, but we are out for the time being.

525
00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:19,440
Speaker 2: We'll be back in a second. We're gonna talk to

526
00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:22,840
Speaker 2: offensive line coach Chris Stross or right here on Texans

527
00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:25,840
Speaker 2: All Access. What's happened everybody? Welcome back to Wednesday issue

528
00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:28,399
Speaker 2: of Texans All Access. Glad you're with me, John Harris Football.

529
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:30,400
Speaker 2: I know a sideline reporter, Mark and I got going

530
00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:36,280
Speaker 2: so much we completely and totally forgot about joy practice discussion. Man,

531
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:38,200
Speaker 2: it was fund being ow our Ota, So we want

532
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:40,600
Speaker 2: to talk about that. But Texan's gonna have some joy

533
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:46,840
Speaker 2: practices with the Miami Dolphins here and also at New

534
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:48,879
Speaker 2: Orleans for Week three, which I'm a little bit surprised.

535
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:51,080
Speaker 2: There some people that asked me, Hey, what about New Orleans.

536
00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:53,120
Speaker 2: I'm like, yeah, typically you don't do that on week three,

537
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:56,400
Speaker 2: but you have that bye week in between Week three

538
00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:58,679
Speaker 2: the preseason and week one of the regular season, so

539
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:01,680
Speaker 2: I guess that makes some sense. And so it sounds

540
00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:04,440
Speaker 2: like that's what the Texans are gonna do. So Dolphins

541
00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:07,119
Speaker 2: week two of the preseason, a couple days of practice,

542
00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:08,880
Speaker 2: then play the game I think on Saturday, and then

543
00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:10,600
Speaker 2: going to New Orleans and gonna do the same thing. Now,

544
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:13,200
Speaker 2: I don't know if it'll be two practices in New Orleans,

545
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:14,480
Speaker 2: but it does sound like it's gonna be two in

546
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:17,359
Speaker 2: my two in Houston Houston Methods Trading Center for the

547
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:20,920
Speaker 2: Miami Dolphins, So it'll be some fun. Jalen Wattle, Zavian Howard,

548
00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:25,200
Speaker 2: down a chain, guys with Houston ties. They were just

549
00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:27,920
Speaker 2: in Houston this last week, along with Tyreek Hill. But

550
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:29,919
Speaker 2: it'll be nice to see those guys and it'll be

551
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:31,840
Speaker 2: a good test. I think that Miami Dolphins team is

552
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:34,520
Speaker 2: gonna be very, very underrated, So I think it's gonna

553
00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:36,800
Speaker 2: be a really good football team in the AFC, so

554
00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:39,679
Speaker 2: we'll we will see them second week the preseason, New

555
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:44,600
Speaker 2: Orleans Saints in Metaie the third week of the preseason,

556
00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:47,880
Speaker 2: and then it's all getting ready for the Baltimore Ravens.

557
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:49,639
Speaker 2: One of the guys that will be very instrumental in

558
00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:52,120
Speaker 2: getting this team ready is offensive line coach Chris Strausser,

559
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:54,439
Speaker 2: who caught up with us after practice day. We had

560
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:56,440
Speaker 2: a good time talking to coach. Take a listen.

561
00:25:57,119 --> 00:26:00,480
Speaker 3: Joining us now Texans Radio. Chris Strasser offense of line

562
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:02,400
Speaker 3: coach for your Houston Texans coach.

563
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:03,960
Speaker 1: Welcome, Thank you, great to be here.

564
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:07,160
Speaker 3: Well, it's great to have you on so general question here,

565
00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:09,119
Speaker 3: but how's it going so far? After you get the

566
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:11,280
Speaker 3: gig and you meet your players, you're out there on

567
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:12,320
Speaker 3: the field with your players.

568
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:13,720
Speaker 1: How's it progressing so far?

569
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:15,359
Speaker 4: It's been great. You know, there's just a lot of

570
00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:18,520
Speaker 4: really positive energy around here. You know, a good young roster,

571
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:21,159
Speaker 4: good young coaching staff. With the exception of coach Barrett

572
00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:23,639
Speaker 4: and myself, we're kind of we've got a little bit

573
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:25,439
Speaker 4: of the wisdom on the staff, but a lot of

574
00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:27,600
Speaker 4: positive energy. And you know, the thing that we all

575
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:30,639
Speaker 4: enjoy the most is the players and you know, just

576
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:33,320
Speaker 4: the hunger that I sends from these guys, the humility

577
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:35,520
Speaker 4: that I sends from these guys, and the desire to

578
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:37,439
Speaker 4: be great and win for the city of Houston has

579
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:37,919
Speaker 4: been great.

580
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:38,440
Speaker 1: Coach.

581
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:41,600
Speaker 2: The decision to come to Houston, for you, your family,

582
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:44,120
Speaker 2: et cetera. We have not had a chance to talk

583
00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:45,879
Speaker 2: to you since, you know, since you got here, but

584
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:48,360
Speaker 2: we know coaches make those those moves all the time.

585
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:51,200
Speaker 2: It's always happening. But why was Houston the right fit

586
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:52,919
Speaker 2: for you to come here.

587
00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:53,280
Speaker 1: At this time?

588
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:55,159
Speaker 4: I think the two things that really stood out to

589
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:57,920
Speaker 4: me were, you know, Bobby Slowak. I had a chance

590
00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:00,480
Speaker 4: to have some really good conversations with him and have

591
00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:02,879
Speaker 4: a good feel for what his philosophy was and what

592
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:05,320
Speaker 4: it was that he wanted up the front and that

593
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:07,520
Speaker 4: was in alignment with the things that I believe in.

594
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:09,760
Speaker 4: And then just having a chance to visit with Demiko,

595
00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:13,520
Speaker 4: just feel really solid about a guy that's got, you know,

596
00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:17,040
Speaker 4: really sharp guy for a fairly young coach in the NFL,

597
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:19,119
Speaker 4: but has proven a lot. I had a chance to

598
00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:21,520
Speaker 4: go against him a couple times over the last few

599
00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:23,320
Speaker 4: years and have been very impressed with what I've seen.

600
00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:26,200
Speaker 3: Coach what can you tell us about the way things

601
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 3: are going to work up front in this offensive system

602
00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:30,920
Speaker 3: you mentioned, Coach Slowick, How will it work?

603
00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:32,639
Speaker 1: What can you share with the listeners about that?

604
00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:34,959
Speaker 4: I think the thing that excites me so much about,

605
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:37,280
Speaker 4: you know, this style of play for the offensive line

606
00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:40,320
Speaker 4: in this offense is there's this mentality of really taking

607
00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:43,520
Speaker 4: advantage of our athleticism both run and pass, and so

608
00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:45,880
Speaker 4: we're not going to be necessarily just a bunch of big,

609
00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:47,679
Speaker 4: thick bodies that are trying to take up space.

610
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:49,440
Speaker 5: And although we're always.

611
00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:51,280
Speaker 4: Trying to move guys in the run game, the mentality

612
00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:53,360
Speaker 4: is not so much you know, hey, let's put two

613
00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:55,280
Speaker 4: bodies on one and move them. But it's more about

614
00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:58,280
Speaker 4: really speed off the ball and really taking advantage of

615
00:27:58,320 --> 00:27:59,920
Speaker 4: guys that have tremendous athletics.

616
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:02,720
Speaker 2: Because you've been around the league coach offensive line for

617
00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:06,200
Speaker 2: a long time, but in different spots for you personally,

618
00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:10,040
Speaker 2: how is it to learn a new system? The verbage

619
00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:11,480
Speaker 2: for you? I mean, you may have heard it a

620
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:14,080
Speaker 2: different way. Maybe over here it was sand, over maybe here.

621
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:14,440
Speaker 5: It was dirt.

622
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:16,920
Speaker 2: However you called it, How has that kind of gone

623
00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:19,640
Speaker 2: for you? And just learning the verbiage of how coach

624
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:22,159
Speaker 2: Loowick calls things, how you want things called, and how

625
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:25,920
Speaker 2: that merges with your your your history and your experience

626
00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:26,600
Speaker 2: and your knowledge.

627
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:27,760
Speaker 5: It's a major challenge.

628
00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:30,560
Speaker 4: This is my thirty fifth year coaching, and I've had

629
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:33,240
Speaker 4: a lot of similarities in the offenses I've been in.

630
00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:36,400
Speaker 4: This is this is by far the most different verbage

631
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:38,680
Speaker 4: that I've been around. Yeah, and so I feel like

632
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:40,160
Speaker 4: I just need to stay a day ahead of the

633
00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:40,720
Speaker 4: players this.

634
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:42,080
Speaker 1: Offseason while I'm learning it.

635
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:44,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, and but I'm on my I'm on my board

636
00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:47,160
Speaker 4: in my office on the dry erase board half the day,

637
00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:49,560
Speaker 4: just you know, just writing stuff down, quizing myself. I'm

638
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:52,200
Speaker 4: really fortunate to have Cole Popovich here with me, who's

639
00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:56,000
Speaker 4: a tremendous offensive line coach. I'm super smart football guy,

640
00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:58,600
Speaker 4: and so he's constantly, you know, challenged me to be

641
00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:00,960
Speaker 4: on top of stuff. And we've been good for each

642
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:02,560
Speaker 4: other to really because it's both of our first times

643
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:03,240
Speaker 4: to learn the system.

644
00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:03,880
Speaker 5: So it's been great.

645
00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:06,160
Speaker 1: That sounds like me teaching calculus, stay one day ahead

646
00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:06,600
Speaker 1: of the student.

647
00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:08,400
Speaker 3: As long as I did that, I was okay, one

648
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:11,600
Speaker 3: am I teaching tomorrow. Chris Ross er Texans offensive line

649
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:13,880
Speaker 3: coach with us, and you were with the Colts and coach.

650
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:16,440
Speaker 3: It's so great to have a converted cult with the

651
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:20,320
Speaker 3: Texans organization because very well known fact here, I hate

652
00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:22,880
Speaker 3: the Colts like poison in a healthy sports way. All right,

653
00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:25,760
Speaker 3: they are our bitter rivals. You know, you've been part

654
00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:28,080
Speaker 3: of this thing. So what was it like over there

655
00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:30,440
Speaker 3: for you? And how does this system differ if it all? Well,

656
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:32,280
Speaker 3: I know it does differ. You just mentioned some of

657
00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:34,959
Speaker 3: that with what you ran in Indianapolis. You guys had

658
00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:37,200
Speaker 3: a lot of success running the football and through the

659
00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:37,800
Speaker 3: air as well.

660
00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:40,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, we did, and so you know that was that

661
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:41,280
Speaker 4: was a great opportunity for me.

662
00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:42,920
Speaker 5: Frank right treated me really well.

663
00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:45,240
Speaker 4: You know, all the players, all the staff over there,

664
00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:47,560
Speaker 4: you know nothing but positive things to say. And we

665
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:49,440
Speaker 4: get this where it's about winning at this level. And

666
00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:51,640
Speaker 4: so when I line up against these guys in the fall,

667
00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:53,800
Speaker 4: I want nothing but to beat them. But I have

668
00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:56,080
Speaker 4: a lot of respect for everybody over there, and you

669
00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:58,600
Speaker 4: know also for the South Division here in the AFC, right,

670
00:29:58,600 --> 00:29:59,920
Speaker 4: I know they do things the right way. We do

671
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:01,520
Speaker 4: things the right way, and so that's all positive.

672
00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:04,880
Speaker 2: Coaches, you're getting ready to kind of put everything together,

673
00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:07,120
Speaker 2: and you're getting ready for the draft and free agency.

674
00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:09,760
Speaker 2: How much did you want to look back at what

675
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:13,000
Speaker 2: the guys that were going to be here did previously.

676
00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:15,160
Speaker 1: How much did you want to know about them and what.

677
00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:17,920
Speaker 2: They did on the field in addition to get to

678
00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:19,680
Speaker 2: know them as people, et cetera. How much kind of

679
00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:21,840
Speaker 2: background did you go into kind of watching them on

680
00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:23,400
Speaker 2: film as you got ready to take this job.

681
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:25,440
Speaker 4: We definitely spent some time doing that as we got

682
00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:27,360
Speaker 4: ready for free agency, just to kind of get a

683
00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:30,320
Speaker 4: feel for physically how guys play. You know, I know

684
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:32,280
Speaker 4: they were coached very well by George Warhop and so,

685
00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:34,520
Speaker 4: but I don't know the specific things that George was

686
00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:35,320
Speaker 4: telling them to use.

687
00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:37,760
Speaker 5: It's hard for me to evaluate too much. But really,

688
00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:38,560
Speaker 5: just to me, just to.

689
00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:40,840
Speaker 4: See how well guys bend, how well they stay on

690
00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:43,719
Speaker 4: their feet, how well they changed direction, how competitive they are.

691
00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:45,280
Speaker 4: Those are really the things we were looking at.

692
00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:47,560
Speaker 3: Is it hard to not get too physical out here

693
00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:49,600
Speaker 3: at OTAs because you're not in pads and you guys

694
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:50,520
Speaker 3: have a lot to work on.

695
00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:51,480
Speaker 5: It's a challenge.

696
00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:53,520
Speaker 4: It's a challenge because we all have tremendous pride in

697
00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:55,360
Speaker 4: what we do, and so for us, even as coaches,

698
00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:58,160
Speaker 4: to say anything that relates to not being physical and

699
00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:01,640
Speaker 4: not finishing plays is challenged. That's not the mentality we

700
00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:03,720
Speaker 4: want to play with. And the great thing is, you know,

701
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:06,440
Speaker 4: I feel really strongly about our defensive line right now,

702
00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:09,800
Speaker 4: and so both both sides of the ball. In the offseason,

703
00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:12,560
Speaker 4: it's a tremendous challenge to really practice and get better,

704
00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:15,320
Speaker 4: but know how to temple it down. And so those

705
00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:17,080
Speaker 4: guys are going down on defense, which is great, that's

706
00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:19,160
Speaker 4: exactly what we need. But we're working really hard at

707
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:20,360
Speaker 4: learning how to practice together.

708
00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:21,960
Speaker 2: Because you got obviously you have a number of vets,

709
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:23,720
Speaker 2: but you've also got a few rookies that are added

710
00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:24,240
Speaker 2: to the group.

711
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:25,240
Speaker 1: How's it for you?

712
00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:27,840
Speaker 2: Obviously being new here, but you've got these young rookies

713
00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:31,040
Speaker 2: that are soaking in every ounce of knowledge from you

714
00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:34,760
Speaker 2: and your experience with Juice and Jared in particular.

715
00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:34,880
Speaker 5: It's been great.

716
00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:37,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, the rookies are super hungry. It's nice to have

717
00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:39,640
Speaker 4: really five guys. We've got those two guys and then

718
00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:42,360
Speaker 4: the three free agents, and so that's a good group

719
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:44,680
Speaker 4: of rookies. And you know, feeling like those guys for

720
00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:48,040
Speaker 4: sure can contribute and help us become a better offensive line.

721
00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:51,160
Speaker 4: Really hungry guys and humble guys as well that fit

722
00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:52,080
Speaker 4: in the room super well.

723
00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:55,360
Speaker 3: How do you determine who goes where what level of

724
00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:58,400
Speaker 3: the offense with some of the guys being unavailable, but

725
00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:00,640
Speaker 3: whoever you have available? Do you just discussed that with

726
00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:02,160
Speaker 3: Bobby Slook, how do you go about that?

727
00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:02,440
Speaker 1: Coach?

728
00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:04,280
Speaker 4: It's a little bit of just us just working on

729
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:07,200
Speaker 4: playing football right now and not getting locked into any

730
00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:09,960
Speaker 4: one specific position. You know, I know sometimes guys think

731
00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:11,800
Speaker 4: they came out of the womb with LT stamp on

732
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:14,160
Speaker 4: the fot of their foot, but not really how it works, right,

733
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:16,040
Speaker 4: We just need guys to play football and just learn

734
00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:17,960
Speaker 4: and just figure out the system. And we'd love to

735
00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:19,920
Speaker 4: get to a point sooner rather than later that you know,

736
00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:21,640
Speaker 4: we kind of have an idea. You know, what are

737
00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:25,040
Speaker 4: our five and then our our eight and those numbers are.

738
00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:27,600
Speaker 4: But right now it's just about guys out competing and learning.

739
00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:28,760
Speaker 1: At that point.

740
00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:32,160
Speaker 2: Coach, how much cross training goes on at this time,

741
00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:35,400
Speaker 2: maybe wanting to whether it's necessity. You're trying to get

742
00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:37,200
Speaker 2: through a practice and you maybe not have enough guys

743
00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:40,200
Speaker 2: in a particular position, or you know what, I kind

744
00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:42,440
Speaker 2: of like to look at this guy at this particular position.

745
00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:44,560
Speaker 2: You have kind of that going on during during OTA's

746
00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:46,600
Speaker 2: and do you carry that on into training camp at all?

747
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:49,400
Speaker 4: For sure, because it's real and you know, the football

748
00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:51,800
Speaker 4: for whatever reasons nowadays, it's hard for anybody to keep

749
00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:54,280
Speaker 4: you know, those same five guys throughout the season. We

750
00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:56,160
Speaker 4: did it in nineteen and Indian I think it was

751
00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:57,840
Speaker 4: the first time it'd been done in a long stretch,

752
00:32:57,880 --> 00:32:59,520
Speaker 4: and so we just don't count on that happening. So,

753
00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:02,239
Speaker 4: like I said, there may be a guy that thinks, man,

754
00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:03,840
Speaker 4: I'm competing for the right guard spot. All of a

755
00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:04,880
Speaker 4: sudden he's playing right tack.

756
00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:05,560
Speaker 1: Thirty three.

757
00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:08,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, coach, how do you like Houston so far? How

758
00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:11,880
Speaker 3: are you assimilating into the market. It's been awesome, Yeah,

759
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:14,040
Speaker 3: I mean it's a very vibrant city. The people have

760
00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:16,040
Speaker 3: been great, the foods just off the charts.

761
00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:17,560
Speaker 5: You know.

762
00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:21,120
Speaker 4: Actually, I honestly like the weather. I prefer humidity and

763
00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:23,000
Speaker 4: all that stuff. So it's been great you've been And

764
00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:26,240
Speaker 4: the other part about for me being my thirty fifth

765
00:33:26,320 --> 00:33:28,520
Speaker 4: year coaching here is football's king and so to have

766
00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:30,600
Speaker 4: a chance to live in a state where football's king

767
00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:31,280
Speaker 4: is tremendous.

768
00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:32,200
Speaker 5: When I got.

769
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:36,120
Speaker 4: Married thirty three years ago, my wife said, jokingly, but

770
00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:38,200
Speaker 4: she said, there's two places I'm not going in.

771
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:40,560
Speaker 5: One Florida, the other's Texas. And so now here we.

772
00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:42,560
Speaker 4: Are in Texas, and she actually couldn't be happy, right,

773
00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:44,040
Speaker 4: This is a great thing for her to have a

774
00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:45,560
Speaker 4: chance to see what type of city this is.

775
00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:48,880
Speaker 2: Coach the coaching staff, just you talked about being kind

776
00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:51,560
Speaker 2: of the the og of the group of the group

777
00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:53,600
Speaker 2: with Danny Barrett as well, and we obviously know Danny,

778
00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:56,080
Speaker 2: we know what that's like. But how much energy the

779
00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:58,920
Speaker 2: younger guys give you the fact that you see them

780
00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:01,680
Speaker 2: and how you know energetic they are every single day

781
00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:03,800
Speaker 2: that they're coming because they haven't been through quite the

782
00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:05,120
Speaker 2: grind that you have over the years.

783
00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:07,000
Speaker 4: It's the challenge, right trying to keep up with them,

784
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:08,719
Speaker 4: but not letting them know that I'm struggling to keep

785
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:09,160
Speaker 4: up with them.

786
00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:10,719
Speaker 5: And so it's been great.

787
00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:12,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, just a bunch of young guys that

788
00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:14,719
Speaker 4: are that have great energy but also take a bunch

789
00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:15,520
Speaker 4: of pride in what they're doing.

790
00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:16,760
Speaker 5: It's not just fake energy.

791
00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:19,120
Speaker 1: How much will the offensive line room find you for

792
00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:19,960
Speaker 1: doing this interview.

793
00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:22,720
Speaker 5: I'm hoping word doesn't get out.

794
00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:26,640
Speaker 1: If at all. Yeah, that's on the down load.

795
00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:29,399
Speaker 3: We won't tell anybody. Chris Stross, our offensive line coach

796
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:31,319
Speaker 3: for the Texans. A couple more quick ones. You've been

797
00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:34,480
Speaker 3: to a bunch of different places, Like Johnny said, what

798
00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:36,319
Speaker 3: was it like being at Boise Because you were there,

799
00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:39,200
Speaker 3: you left, you came back and that was glory days

800
00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:41,399
Speaker 3: of Boise State football. What was it like being there

801
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:42,879
Speaker 3: on the blue field coaching those guys?

802
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:43,800
Speaker 5: I was tremendous.

803
00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:46,279
Speaker 4: I really feel like that was kind of my baptism

804
00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:49,399
Speaker 4: and the championship level football and it was just such

805
00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:52,560
Speaker 4: a great opportunity to be at a place that cherishes

806
00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:55,319
Speaker 4: football like they do. And really the whole mission for

807
00:34:55,680 --> 00:34:57,279
Speaker 4: all we did there was just to try and do

808
00:34:57,360 --> 00:34:59,160
Speaker 4: things the right way, and we knew if we did

809
00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:00,719
Speaker 4: we had a chance to win ames. And we won

810
00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:01,480
Speaker 4: a lot of games there.

811
00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:05,719
Speaker 1: Okay, answer this rumor. This has been a rumor out

812
00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:06,600
Speaker 1: there for a long time.

813
00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:11,040
Speaker 2: Ducks would fly into the football field because they couldn't

814
00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:12,680
Speaker 2: recognize it between the water.

815
00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:14,680
Speaker 5: Is that true or false? It's a great rumor. Why

816
00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:15,440
Speaker 5: would I squelch that?

817
00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:18,920
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, Oh, just leave it alone. That's good, Okay,

818
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:20,719
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, I love it all right.

819
00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:23,720
Speaker 3: And you went to Chico State, So give the Chico

820
00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:26,239
Speaker 3: State Alumni Association something to smile about.

821
00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:29,120
Speaker 1: Right now. Tell me something unique or good about Chico State.

822
00:35:29,239 --> 00:35:31,040
Speaker 4: Well, I say, the biggest thing is we're undefeated in

823
00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:33,920
Speaker 4: football since nineteen ninety four because they dropped the program.

824
00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:37,200
Speaker 4: Oh that's a that's a somewhat positive. But yeah, Chico's

825
00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:39,520
Speaker 4: a tremendous place. My wife went there, my daughter went there.

826
00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:41,120
Speaker 4: A lot of good memories there.

827
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:41,279
Speaker 1: All right.

828
00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:43,000

Speaker 3: Thank you guys.

Speaker 2: That was fun to catch up with one of the

831
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:47,600
Speaker 2: ogs and the coaching staff man.

832
00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:50,080
Speaker 1: It's weird to say he's fifty nine fifty one? Does

833
00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:52,120
Speaker 1: that make me and O G I don't know. I

834
00:35:52,120 --> 00:35:53,319
Speaker 1: feel like I'm young at heart.

835
00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:56,399
Speaker 2: But either way, great stuff there with of its line

836
00:35:56,440 --> 00:35:58,920
Speaker 2: coach Chris Strausser. It's gonna be good to catch up

837
00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:02,760
Speaker 2: with him. Love his thoughts just on everything, very very measured,

838
00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:05,319
Speaker 2: very thought out, and yeah he didn't short answer us.

839
00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:07,080
Speaker 2: Always like that when we get a coach on the

840
00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:09,880
Speaker 2: first time. Sometimes you get that short answer and you're like, Uh, Okay,

841
00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:13,440
Speaker 2: what are we gonna do? No, he was perfect, absolutely perfect,

842
00:36:14,080 --> 00:36:15,960
Speaker 2: had a good time talking off the air about Boise State.

843
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:17,600
Speaker 2: I got talked on the air about Boise State for

844
00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:20,640
Speaker 2: a while, but glad he's here with the Houston Texans

845
00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:22,680
Speaker 2: coming up a little in the lab. Yeah, Drew and

846
00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:26,279
Speaker 2: I talked a little bit more about OTA number two

847
00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:28,279
Speaker 2: that we were allowed to see this week. That's next

848

Speaker 2: segment this edition to Texans All Access. John Harris here

00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:37,000
Speaker 2: alongside my in the lab partner.

851
00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:38,439
Speaker 1: Drew Dorty. Let's talk about OTAs Drew.

852
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:41,640
Speaker 6: Let's go in the lab time right now, Drew Doherty,

853
00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:45,080
Speaker 6: John Harris coming at you on another day of OTA's

854
00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:47,040
Speaker 6: It's Wednesday, So normally you and I do this on

855
00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:49,200
Speaker 6: a Tuesday. But because OTA's were today, because you and

856
00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:52,480
Speaker 6: I talk with and Mark Vandermerk talked with and dpcity,

857
00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:55,160
Speaker 6: talked with the rest of the media, talk with every

858
00:36:55,280 --> 00:36:59,200
Speaker 6: single coach and assistant coach, got a lot to discuss.

859
00:36:59,280 --> 00:37:01,440
Speaker 6: We wanted a whole off on that, and I want

860
00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:05,239
Speaker 6: to get some quick impressions from you. I'll give you

861
00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:08,400
Speaker 6: some of mine on some of these coaches and some

862
00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:13,000
Speaker 6: of what you've seen today. But the overriding thing, even

863
00:37:13,040 --> 00:37:15,800
Speaker 6: without looking at a single practice and knowing the history

864
00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:18,239
Speaker 6: of these these coaches and what they've done and the

865
00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:20,879
Speaker 6: lineage from which they come on both sides of the ball,

866
00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:23,800
Speaker 6: this team's going to be better simply because of the

867
00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:26,160
Speaker 6: coach of This team is going to be better this year.

868
00:37:26,239 --> 00:37:30,719
Speaker 6: But specifically, you said off air. People don't know, but

869
00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:32,520
Speaker 6: this offense is going to be a lot better than

870
00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:35,160
Speaker 6: they think it or then they think it should be.

871
00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:36,560
Speaker 6: It's just going to be better than what we've seen

872
00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:38,799
Speaker 6: around here in a long time. I agree, But why

873
00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:39,520
Speaker 6: are you saying that.

874
00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:43,759
Speaker 2: I think we we talked about the word precision and

875
00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:46,360
Speaker 2: how precise Bobby Slowak's can want this offense to be.

876
00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:49,640
Speaker 2: It's just his experience in it and not that not

877
00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:54,920
Speaker 2: that other coaches aren't. And you know, sometimes when you

878
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:58,400
Speaker 2: talk about precision, you're like, Okay, well, then the game's

879
00:37:58,440 --> 00:38:00,560
Speaker 2: not always going to be crystal clean. You know you're

880
00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:02,839
Speaker 2: gonna have to deal with the dirty. But I think

881
00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:05,000
Speaker 2: the more precise you are and how you do things,

882
00:38:05,160 --> 00:38:09,160
Speaker 2: you can dictate when it turns dirty or not. And

883
00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:11,600
Speaker 2: I'm not talking dirty like illegal. I'm just talking about, Man,

884
00:38:11,640 --> 00:38:13,479
Speaker 2: you're seeing a front you're not used to. You're seeing

885
00:38:13,480 --> 00:38:15,480
Speaker 2: a coverage that's a little different, that kind of thing.

886
00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:20,759
Speaker 2: So things will, things will get dirty. But to help

887
00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:23,440
Speaker 2: you get through those tough times, you've got to be precise.

888
00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:25,680
Speaker 2: And I see that. I feel like there's a crisp

889
00:38:26,200 --> 00:38:28,879
Speaker 2: nature to the offense. Sometimes the word crisp is hard

890
00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:30,840
Speaker 2: to say. It really emphasized the pe and then that

891
00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:33,040
Speaker 2: gets spitt all over your computer and whatever.

892
00:38:33,080 --> 00:38:35,239
Speaker 6: But I noticed that last week. It just in the

893
00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:39,279
Speaker 6: drills being rung with the two quarterbacks throwing, one rotates out,

894
00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:42,160
Speaker 6: one who was on the you know, watching, comes in

895
00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:44,760
Speaker 6: and the other guy slides over it. Just that alone,

896
00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:47,839
Speaker 6: I've noticed how much crisper things are.

897
00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:51,600
Speaker 2: There was a video that posted of an NFL team

898
00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:55,960
Speaker 2: and they were they were working routes and they were

899
00:38:55,960 --> 00:38:58,840
Speaker 2: just routes on air, and I'm sure it was cut

900
00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:01,879
Speaker 2: to kind of the point that the Bucks quarterbacks maybe

901
00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:05,360
Speaker 2: see maybe are struggling or whatever. Every every group of

902
00:39:05,440 --> 00:39:08,839
Speaker 2: quarterbacks struggles at various times, so I mean, I understand it.

903
00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:11,440
Speaker 2: But they showed about four or five routes that were

904
00:39:11,560 --> 00:39:15,799
Speaker 2: just not not well thrown. I know it's on air,

905
00:39:15,880 --> 00:39:18,160
Speaker 2: but you watch these three quarterbacks throw the football and

906
00:39:18,200 --> 00:39:21,000
Speaker 2: the ball barely hits the ground. I mean all level

907
00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:23,439
Speaker 2: of routes. I'm not I mean it's now that's on air,

908
00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:26,520
Speaker 2: but that's that's what it should look like.

909
00:39:26,600 --> 00:39:29,520
Speaker 1: It should look crisp. The route should be run well,

910
00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:34,120
Speaker 1: the ball should be perfectly placed. And that's what I get.

911
00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:36,560
Speaker 1: And so when I saw that video and I think

912
00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:39,680
Speaker 1: in my mind of what I've seen at OTAs, I'm like, wow, Okay,

913
00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:44,160
Speaker 1: that's different than what we're looking at and what we've

914
00:39:44,200 --> 00:39:44,759
Speaker 1: seen here.

915
00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:47,480
Speaker 2: So that's a really great start. But I think one

916
00:39:47,520 --> 00:39:50,560
Speaker 2: other thing, Drew that's kind of stood out. Just Mark

917
00:39:50,560 --> 00:39:54,160
Speaker 2: and I talked about this kind of for our observations

918
00:39:54,200 --> 00:39:59,000
Speaker 2: for radio for Wednesday Night Younger Guys Week one to

919
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:01,759
Speaker 2: Week two. We always talk about You're one year two

920
00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:04,040
Speaker 2: week one to week two, like the transition and the

921
00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:07,000
Speaker 2: progress the first time they do something your preseason game

922
00:40:07,040 --> 00:40:11,160
Speaker 2: one to preseason game two, Week one of OTA's versus

923
00:40:11,200 --> 00:40:14,640
Speaker 2: Week two of OTAs. In particular, the rookie wide receivers,

924
00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:19,280
Speaker 2: My goodness between Jared Wayne Xavier Hutchinson.

925
00:40:19,080 --> 00:40:22,840
Speaker 1: Jared Wayne's catch today. That was incredible business. That was amazing.

926
00:40:22,880 --> 00:40:24,720
Speaker 6: Happened right in front of me, about ten feet away.

927
00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:27,120
Speaker 1: It was amazing over the shoulder.

928
00:40:26,719 --> 00:40:30,200
Speaker 6: I mean right, but he comes back over his left,

929
00:40:30,360 --> 00:40:32,560
Speaker 6: he cradles it in, brings it in, gets go both

930
00:40:32,600 --> 00:40:35,239
Speaker 6: feet and bounds out nomal And then a few plays later,

931
00:40:35,719 --> 00:40:41,600
Speaker 6: Hutchinson just snags one over the middle, all hands nobody

932
00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:45,760
Speaker 6: as he's diving, and we really really exceptional cast catch,

933
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:48,160
Speaker 6: and Tank Dell just continues to be Tank Dell. Yeah,

934
00:40:48,160 --> 00:40:49,799
Speaker 6: I mean Tanks to be very impressive as well.

935
00:40:49,840 --> 00:40:53,400
Speaker 1: He just moves such a different pace, you know, such

936
00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:56,560
Speaker 1: a different when you just watch just the rhythm of

937
00:40:56,600 --> 00:40:59,000
Speaker 1: him doing something and you're like watching everybody else and

938
00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:01,440
Speaker 1: you realize, only I did at the Senior Bowl man.

939
00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:04,279
Speaker 2: Everybody else is on for forty five hour PM. He

940
00:41:04,320 --> 00:41:07,919
Speaker 2: is seventy eight, and he's moving, and he just has

941
00:41:07,960 --> 00:41:13,080
Speaker 2: to get accustomed to making sure that that's always under

942
00:41:13,120 --> 00:41:16,600
Speaker 2: control so that he can make the catches moving at

943
00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:17,040
Speaker 2: that rate.

944
00:41:17,080 --> 00:41:19,480
Speaker 1: And he's done that, but now it's got to be

945
00:41:19,520 --> 00:41:20,520
Speaker 1: done at a higher level.

946
00:41:20,560 --> 00:41:25,320
Speaker 2: But those three guys in particular have really like wow,

947
00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:28,320
Speaker 2: they really stood out to me and in all honesty,

948
00:41:29,160 --> 00:41:32,000
Speaker 2: back to being live, they have to those three have

949
00:41:32,040 --> 00:41:35,400
Speaker 2: to Xavier Hutchinson, Jared Wayne, Tank Dell. They need to

950
00:41:35,520 --> 00:41:37,520
Speaker 2: get something from I think all three of those guys,

951
00:41:37,560 --> 00:41:39,280
Speaker 2: including Wayne, who's undrafted free agent.

952
00:41:39,480 --> 00:41:42,360
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a tough, tough decision to wide receiver.

953
00:41:42,760 --> 00:41:45,000
Speaker 2: But if this team is gonna do things talking about

954
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:47,400
Speaker 2: eight nine, ten wins, you know some people have some

955
00:41:47,480 --> 00:41:50,480
Speaker 2: expectations for this team now. I think those receivers have

956
00:41:50,520 --> 00:41:52,120
Speaker 2: got to step up and they've got to do some

957
00:41:52,160 --> 00:41:54,680
Speaker 2: big things, and hopefully they will. A big thanks to Drew,

958
00:41:54,880 --> 00:41:57,279
