1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,280
Speaker 1: Hello Texans, Welcome to this show. Always fun to have

2
00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:05,720
Speaker 1: you join us. And I love being out and about

3
00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:07,560
Speaker 1: as I have been for the past few days and

4
00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:10,200
Speaker 1: over the weekend and everything. Mark vandermin and John Harris

5
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:11,920
Speaker 1: with you and Johnny. I hear from so many people

6
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:16,560
Speaker 1: always listening to the show, saying nice things, enjoying spending

7
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:20,840
Speaker 1: some time with us while they're stuck in ungodly Houston traffic. Yes,

8
00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:24,280
Speaker 1: so we are here to shirpa you through this. Now,

9
00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:26,200
Speaker 1: we're not ways or anything like that. You'll have to

10
00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:29,000
Speaker 1: use your own device for that. But we are here

11
00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:31,960
Speaker 1: to make it maybe a little bit more entertaining, sometimes informative,

12
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:35,560
Speaker 1: especially with you with me, maybe mildly entertaining. We'll see.

13
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:39,680
Speaker 1: But it's a great day to talk Texans football as always.

14
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:43,519
Speaker 1: With the schedule coming out soon, and before we get

15
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:46,440
Speaker 1: to that, Johnny, because I know you predicted the entire schedule,

16
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:49,479
Speaker 1: this is where we're at in the off season, John Harris,

17
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 1: mock schedule, my mock draft mode schedule. Yeah, but we're

18
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:55,760
Speaker 1: gonna go with it.

19
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:57,280
Speaker 2: We're gonna go with it as if.

20
00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 1: It's the Texans schedule, and we will evaluate as we

21
00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 1: go and I will grade your paper just for fun.

22
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 1: But this JJ wat Demico Ryans, this whole thing playing out.

23
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 1: Just take it over the city. This has been the conversation.

24
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:16,679
Speaker 1: And I think it's a perfect storm of events here

25
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 1: with JJ's charity softball game, because that's where the soundbites originated.

26
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:22,959
Speaker 1: Even though this goes back to last year, and then

27
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:25,399
Speaker 1: you have Demiko there, JJ there, You have the Astros

28
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 1: losing a couple of games of the weekend, Rockets out

29
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:31,760
Speaker 1: of season and no baseball yesterday, so it becomes the

30
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 1: talking point what comeback possibilities. It's what Mutch and I

31
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 1: thought Demico handled it really well. Hey I need to

32
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 1: make that call now. I mean I need him now,

33
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 1: come on, And he kind of bounced the ball back

34
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 1: in JJ's end of the court.

35
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 2: Because my feeling is, and we.

36
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 1: Talked about this last night, Johnny, if JJ wanted to play,

37
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 1: JJ would be playing right. He would have played last year.

38
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 1: He could have played here last year. Perhaps, I guess

39
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 1: if the Texans would have had him, I don't see

40
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 1: why not, considering the shape they were in at the

41
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 1: end of last season at defensive end. We covered that yesterday,

42
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 1: and there were other teams too that were really desperate.

43
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:09,800
Speaker 1: Think about the Miami Dolphins. Think about the Miami Dolphins

44
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 1: late along the d line. I mean, they were signing

45
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 1: guys who were way done and in desperate need of

46
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:20,080
Speaker 1: some help. Not that Watt would have joined them necessarily,

47
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:21,920
Speaker 1: but if he was looking for a gig, they were

48
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,919
Speaker 1: certainly looking for some help. But all that aside, and

49
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 1: now Seth talked about it, he wasn't really ready to

50
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 1: come back then. Maybe maybe he is now not declaring anything,

51
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 1: but we'll see.

52
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 2: Yeah.

53
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:35,920
Speaker 3: I think when it comes to to when you think

54
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 3: about going back to football, I almost think that the

55
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 3: physical aspect of things is the least of a least

56
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 3: of a Returne's issues. It's the mental grind of I

57
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 3: just finished this game. Okay, great, I gotta do it

58
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 3: six days from now, or in some cases, I gotta

59
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 3: do it three days from now. In so mentally there

60
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 3: is this holy cow, I've got to do this again,

61
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:05,399
Speaker 3: and that brings you back to that grind of oh man,

62
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:06,360
Speaker 3: can I do this again?

63
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 2: Can I do? I want to do this again?

64
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 3: It is such a grueling, grueling, grueling season. If anybody

65
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 3: knows that it's ninety nine, he knows it like we

66
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 3: saw him in this building. We've seen people in this

67
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 3: building week fifteen. And when I say people, I mean

68
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 3: defensive lineman trenches. We've seen those guys and they are

69
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,080
Speaker 3: lucky to make it from one room to the next,

70
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 3: just with the slides on, just shuffling down the hallway,

71
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 3: because it's that physically tough to make it through a

72
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 3: season and then mentally get through that same season.

73
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 2: So it's tough.

74
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 3: But I think you're right if JJ wanted, and if

75
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 3: JJ wants, then I would imagine if JJ really wants it,

76
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 3: he's gonna make a case to de Miko, and I

77
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 3: don't know that much of a case needs to be made.

78
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 3: And yeah, it would be interesting, man, Holy cow, would

79
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:00,839
Speaker 3: be interesting. But what I what I always think about

80
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 3: in those situations, are you mentally ready for it?

81
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 2: Not physically.

82
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 3: I think you can get yourself physically ready, like yeah, yeah, yeah,

83
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 3: I got Physically, I'll be fine, But the mental part

84
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 3: of it, are you mentally ready for what you have

85
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:16,039
Speaker 3: to go out and do. I don't imagine learning the defense.

86
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:19,599
Speaker 3: That's probably a little bit different. So kind of trying

87
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,920
Speaker 3: to learn how to play next to your teammates because

88
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:26,159
Speaker 3: when when when JJ was here, let's be honest, JJ

89
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:29,920
Speaker 3: did what he was going to do and everybody played

90
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 3: off of that.

91
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I don't know that that would still be

92
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:33,600
Speaker 2: the case.

93
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:35,480
Speaker 3: Maybe it is, I don't know, but it would be

94
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:37,480
Speaker 3: a change for a lot of people having to deal

95
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:39,840
Speaker 3: with all that. So I think there's a lot that

96
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 3: goes into this, a lot physically mentally. Now, if there

97
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:46,720
Speaker 3: is somebody that could do that, I do think it

98
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:47,719
Speaker 3: would be ninety nine.

99
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 1: Well, I think Seth's right about this too, it would

100
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:54,720
Speaker 1: be October November. I'm sure missus Watt's schedule figures into

101
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 1: this as well. If there's something to figure if there's

102
00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 1: something to negotiate here. That is a big part of this,

103
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 1: because you know, she's she's got another career going right,

104
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:08,600
Speaker 1: that's right, and so does he. But I'm sure it's

105
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 1: written into his contract with CBS that he can get

106
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 1: out of it. But yeah, she wants to do what

107
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:15,600
Speaker 1: she wants to do, and I don't know. They can

108
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 1: discuss it amongst themselves, of course, so that'll be something

109
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:23,600
Speaker 1: we monitor for sure. But I gotta say this, I'm

110
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:25,719
Speaker 1: not counting on that at all. I love where this

111
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 1: team is at right now. I want to see what

112
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:30,480
Speaker 1: they do training camp. We all want to see the schedule.

113
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:33,159
Speaker 1: I can guarantee you this. The Hall of Fame game

114
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:36,799
Speaker 1: is on the schedule. August first. That's Hall of Fame game, Canton,

115
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:39,839
Speaker 1: Ohio Texans Bears. They will play the Bears at the

116
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 1: regular season at some point, and they will play the

117
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:45,839
Speaker 1: Cowboys in the regular season at some point.

118
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 2: You know the opponents.

119
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:50,720
Speaker 1: John Harris on Houston Texans dot Com twenty twenty four

120
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:56,480
Speaker 1: schedule prediction. Yes, this is it. You won't go preseason with.

121
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:58,360
Speaker 2: Me here now, I didn't go preseason.

122
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 1: I'll give you my wish list.

123
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,159
Speaker 2: Have a clue because.

124
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 1: I'm the guy who hires the trucks to produce the

125
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 1: preseason TV broadcasts. Yes, I would prefer that the last

126
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:12,280
Speaker 1: two preseason home games or last two preseason games are

127
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 1: at home. That would be nice, both at home back

128
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:16,720
Speaker 1: to back. That way we have one truck. It's much

129
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 1: better for production. Fans are listening thinking, how does this

130
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 1: help me? It helps you because you can have a

131
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:26,159
Speaker 1: more entertaining broadcast, cleaner better and less costly for us.

132
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 2: Cleaner better.

133
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:33,280
Speaker 1: It'll be awesome, all right. Week one, regular season, September ninth, Monday,

134
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:38,359
Speaker 1: night football. About that at the New York Jets. Well,

135
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 1: I don't know, all right, See, I'm gonna say this. Okay,

136
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:44,280
Speaker 1: they've been doing the double headers on Monday Night to

137
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 1: start the season, but then they moved it to Week

138
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:49,360
Speaker 1: two last year. I want to say they only had

139
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:52,280
Speaker 1: a week one, one game situation. I know you didn't

140
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:54,800
Speaker 1: take that any worry about that, but you said seven

141
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:56,920
Speaker 1: thirty CST. You got very thorough here, Joe.

142
00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 3: I just made sure that when I said, I figured,

143
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 3: everybody knows it's Monday night, and I just use seven thirty.

144
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 3: It's kind of a catch all time for the night game,

145
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:08,839
Speaker 3: so I thought that's what it was. I just I

146
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 3: don't know, you know, some of this just comes down

147
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 3: to feel. So there are there are a few things

148
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 3: that I kind of slotted right away. This one I

149
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 3: slotted right away because I felt like it's kind of

150
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 3: the you want to catch Aaron Rodgers before another injury,

151
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 3: so you might as well do it. Now.

152
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 1: Wait, why why wouldn't you want to see? As far

153
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 1: as preference goes, I'd rather have the Jets later a

154
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 1: little bit.

155
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 3: Well, preference, yes, but that that's our prefit. Okay, Yeah,

156
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 3: that's our preference. I'm talking about this, I'm thinking about

157
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 3: it through the leagues.

158
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, they want Rogers healthy against the good team and

159
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:44,120
Speaker 1: Monday Jets.

160
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, I see it. It makes a lot of sense

161
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 2: when I listen.

162
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 3: When I heard Mike North, Mike North was on UH

163
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 3: with our buddy sal and Sala's podcast partner, and they

164
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 3: asked about Stefan Diggs and whether Stefan Diggs Movie to

165
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 3: Houston made the Houston Texan the Houston Buffalo game here

166
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 3: at an Energy Stadium, whether that maybe moved it up

167
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 3: a notch to kind of level of prime time, and

168
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 3: Mike North, who basically is the schedule guru, said essentially,

169
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:17,120
Speaker 3: it was already there, and then he went into kind

170
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 3: of this diet tribe about the Texans right, and it

171
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 3: was kind of there's a little bit of NFL schedule

172
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 3: maker fomo. They missed out on the Texans last year,

173
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 3: and he even said that he's like, we missed on

174
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 3: the Texans badly. We tried to make it right as

175
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 3: the season wore on, but we just couldn't find the

176
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:38,320
Speaker 3: right spot until it came to that Week eighteen game.

177
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 2: They made it worth it.

178
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:42,679
Speaker 3: Then they make the run of the playoffs essentially, and

179
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 3: you know how this goes. When you miss on something,

180
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 3: you're gonna make sure you get it right and go overboard.

181
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:50,679
Speaker 2: To show that you missed it.

182
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:54,080
Speaker 3: So I feel like they're going to try and get

183
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 3: the Texans out in front of national eyes early in

184
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 3: the season as an Week one.

185
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 2: Maybe not not going to be the Thursday night game.

186
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:05,680
Speaker 3: I feel like that's the Bengals, but the Bengals have

187
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 3: that against the Chiefs Sunday night game.

188
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 2: I heard Raven Steelers at some point. That's stuck in

189
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 2: my head.

190
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 3: I was like, you know what, that's always a good

191
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 3: That's a good way to start Sunday Night.

192
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 2: It could be Dawas the Giants.

193
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:19,319
Speaker 3: That's always another way.

194
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:22,560
Speaker 1: Maybe because you're going AFC on Thursday, maybe Dallas Philly

195
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 1: to start Dallas Giants. Is it's almost a tradition Sunday

196
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 1: night the start of the season exactly. And then I

197
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:32,080
Speaker 1: like your Monday night. Now there's a Twitter account x

198
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:38,400
Speaker 1: account NFL schedule update. It's at Nerdington, NFL, and Lopez

199
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:41,560
Speaker 1: retweeted them. But I went on a little search right

200
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:45,559
Speaker 1: went to their previous tweets. They do an entire muck

201
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:49,959
Speaker 1: of the entire of all the big games of all

202
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:53,640
Speaker 1: the big games, and they have the Texans opening Monday

203
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:55,840
Speaker 1: night football at green Bay, So it's sort of a

204
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 1: silk kind of deal as yours.

205
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 3: Monday Night at green Bay would be kind of to

206
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 3: Night games at green Bay are a little I don't

207
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:05,320
Speaker 3: know if I've ever been to one, oh the preseason game,

208
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:07,960
Speaker 3: but every game I ever once it was a kid,

209
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 3: we was always twelve noon. It was always in the afternoon.

210
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 3: Didn't have to didn't have to worry about that because

211
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:14,680
Speaker 3: that's a crowd. I don't say you gotta worry about

212
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 3: but that crowd for a night game is gonna be

213
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:22,080
Speaker 3: very It's gonna be seasoned, if you know what I mean.

214
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:23,840
Speaker 2: They're they're gonna have a few.

215
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 3: So yeah, I went Jets prepared, prepared, yes, warm, and

216
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:33,079
Speaker 3: prepared that Jets game Monday night, right out of the

217
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:35,600
Speaker 3: shoot against Aaron Rodgers and the Jets.

218
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 1: I like what you did with Week two after having

219
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:41,720
Speaker 1: the Monday and Monday night opener, short week Tennessee Titans

220
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:48,080
Speaker 1: at home, a nooner CBS traditional Texans Titans out. I'm

221
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:49,000
Speaker 1: curious to know.

222
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:50,959
Speaker 2: I had a couple thoughts here.

223
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:54,440
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm curious to know what your H Town uniform

224
00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 1: color rush game is gonna be. But we'll get to

225
00:10:56,400 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 1: that because it was tailor made for this now. Herdington NFL.

226
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 1: The NFL schedule maker x account also has the Texans

227
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 1: taking on the Titans week two after the Monday night start.

228
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 1: So it's a very nice thing to be able to

229
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:11,400
Speaker 1: play the Tennessee Titans. Now you think that now, But

230
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 1: of course it never plays out the way you think

231
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:17,080
Speaker 1: it will. Carolina anyone last year, we'll be ready for

232
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 1: Tennessee Week two.

233
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 3: That was kind of part of my reason for putting

234
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 3: Tennessee at week too. I feel like Week two is

235
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:24,880
Speaker 3: going to be division game. I just felt that because

236
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:27,080
Speaker 3: it has been for a while. Twenty eighteen, we played

237
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 3: at Tennessee.

238
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:31,320
Speaker 2: Last year, we played in Indianapolis.

239
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:33,960
Speaker 3: Here, We've had a lot of second games that have

240
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:36,679
Speaker 3: been division games, and so it just kind of stuck

241
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:39,079
Speaker 3: with me, and I was like, all right, let's take

242
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 3: the controversy out of the H Town uniforms. Because if

243
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 3: the first game of the year is always our Liberty

244
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:46,360
Speaker 3: White game, well there you go.

245
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:48,000
Speaker 2: You kind of take that controversy out.

246
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 1: Do you think the league has something to do with that, Hey,

247
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 1: we don't want this controversy.

248
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 2: I don't nabout it.

249
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:56,080
Speaker 1: They want all that fuel long maybe because don't follow

250
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:59,440
Speaker 1: these Titans where the oiler uniforms against the Houston team.

251
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:01,679
Speaker 3: If I'm the league, I absolutely did not put the

252
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 3: Tennessee Titans in week two.

253
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:05,920
Speaker 2: If they know us and know that we go Liberty

254
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:06,320
Speaker 2: White and.

255
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 3: Our home opener, yeah, then absolutely I'm not putting I'm

256
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:10,559
Speaker 3: not putting them there, all.

257
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:13,680
Speaker 1: Right, But in your mock schedule twenty nineteen. Here, I

258
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:16,200
Speaker 1: have two mock schedules, yours and this. Guys that have

259
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:20,440
Speaker 1: the Titans here week two, coach would mean no, in

260
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:23,680
Speaker 1: all likelihood, yeah, you wouldn't open it that, although you

261
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:25,960
Speaker 1: never know because the Texans have been changing things around.

262
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 1: Its true week three, So week one at the Jets

263
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:31,320
Speaker 1: Monday night, Week two, Titans at home. Week three. This

264
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 1: is John Harris's mock schedule at New England Week three

265
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 1: nooner CBS. Maybe Nance no, not Nance, no, I don't think,

266
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:44,760
Speaker 1: because not against this one. Even though Nance and Romo

267
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:47,719
Speaker 1: became the unofficial voices of the New England Patriots when

268
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:50,280
Speaker 1: they were good, that's correct, that's no longer the case.

269
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:53,480
Speaker 1: They're not good not projected to be good. But I

270
00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 1: like going to New England. Week three.

271
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:56,960
Speaker 2: I do like ripping off the band aid.

272
00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:59,080
Speaker 1: You're at the Jets at the Patriots. You burn those

273
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:01,560
Speaker 1: AFC road games early.

274
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 2: Yep.

275
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:04,840
Speaker 3: Let's go, yeah, absolutely, and you get Andrew Catalan, who

276
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:08,840
Speaker 3: I think is iscent this and Andrew Catalan kind of game,

277
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:09,839
Speaker 3: and we go up there.

278
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:12,840
Speaker 2: We beat the Patriots for the first game.

279
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 1: Yes, that's beautiful. Week four, moving right along is back

280
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 1: on the road. You're going back to back on the road,

281
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:21,080
Speaker 1: and this time back on the road day night game

282
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:22,720
Speaker 1: at Kansas City.

283
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:25,280
Speaker 3: Yep, bring it on. I think that game is a

284
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:28,800
Speaker 3: Sunday night game. If you're talking about you know Mahomes,

285
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 3: I mean we get off to a good start, two one,

286
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:32,720
Speaker 3: three and zero, Patriots go out to good start. I mean,

287
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:34,800
Speaker 3: that's gonna be musty television. It's gonna be a musty

288
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 3: television around the country to see Patrick Mahomes against CJ.

289
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:40,040
Speaker 3: You know, Texans are getting to kind of be this,

290
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:43,760
Speaker 3: you know, hot team nation gets to see them matchup

291
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 3: at Arrowhead on a Sunday night. Bring it to Rico,

292
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 3: bringing collins Worth, bring them all in. Let's go. Week

293
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:52,920
Speaker 3: four at Kansas City on a Sunday night.

294
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:53,760
Speaker 2: I like that.

295
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:57,680
Speaker 1: And by the way, the NFL schedule maker x account

296
00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:00,280
Speaker 1: has the Texans at the Chiefs week three, at the

297
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:03,320
Speaker 1: Patriots week four, so it's oh wow, yeah, wow, you

298
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:05,440
Speaker 1: guys are insank here a lot of.

299
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:07,560
Speaker 2: I trust me. I did not. I don't know that

300
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:08,559
Speaker 2: account easy, I know.

301
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:11,200
Speaker 1: But it's you know, you only have so many games,

302
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:12,960
Speaker 1: and some of them are going to be similar, So

303
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:15,400
Speaker 1: at the Jets Tennessee at home, at the Patriots, at

304
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:17,720
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. Three out of the first four on the road,

305
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 1: but you have more road games than home games.

306
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 2: Anyway.

307
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:22,840
Speaker 1: It's that kind of thing. With nine road games eight

308
00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 1: home games, you're going to have some long stretches or

309
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:28,240
Speaker 1: some big runs on the road. But now relatively but

310
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:32,280
Speaker 1: flip oh, now flips okay. Week five, we entertain the

311
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:35,880
Speaker 1: Jacksonville Jaguars. According to John Harris's mock schedule, it's a

312
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:41,000
Speaker 1: noon start Sunday, all right, So October sixth, Jacksonville. The

313
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 1: league's not are interested in. This is a primetime affair.

314
00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:45,920
Speaker 1: We'll see what happens when the Texans take on the

315
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:48,720
Speaker 1: Jags on the road later on, but I'll take it.

316
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 1: Week five, Jags at home. Yeah, let's dance. We have

317
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:53,600
Speaker 1: back to back road games. Got to play them eventually.

318
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:54,120
Speaker 2: Why not.

319
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 1: There's no real resting place in this schedule though. You

320
00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 1: had two so called projected week opponents on the and

321
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:05,520
Speaker 1: back to back situations. Tennessee Titans at home at the Patriots,

322
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 1: then at the Chiefs, Jags at home. I'll go right

323
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 1: to week six at the Packers. It is a late

324
00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:17,480
Speaker 1: afternoon game. This is awesome because that's a big showcase

325
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:19,840
Speaker 1: game for their whatever network has it, because it could

326
00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:21,480
Speaker 1: be either CBS or Fox.

327
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:24,920
Speaker 3: Absolutely and you know that ends up being a Nancy

328
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:26,520
Speaker 3: Romo Nance Romo game.

329
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 2: Could be a Burke Hole, Burke Holder, Burke Burkhart Olsen game.

330
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 2: Wait is Brady doing that game? Or oh god, yeah, could.

331
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:37,040
Speaker 1: Be the first Brady game.

332
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 2: Wow, could be the first there you go. Yeah, So

333
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 2: I just I like that.

334
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 3: I wasn't I wasn't set on putting Green Bay as

335
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:46,880
Speaker 3: a night game.

336
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:47,600
Speaker 2: Just yeah.

337
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:49,920
Speaker 3: I was like, man, but I still think you get

338
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:52,560
Speaker 3: that national window. You know, we played the Broncos, we

339
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 3: got moved to that national window. And it was interesting

340
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:56,640
Speaker 3: the number of texts I got. I got a text

341
00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 3: from my parents that day twelve weeks in and they're like,

342
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:02,440
Speaker 3: oh my gosh, they were so fun to watch, and

343
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 3: that was the first time they had gotten a chance

344
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:06,040
Speaker 3: to watch them. So I figured that three twenty five

345
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:07,680
Speaker 3: window is going to be a good one taken.

346
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:11,640
Speaker 1: That was important, and the Texans made Mike North available

347
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:15,680
Speaker 1: to the media to further emphasize this is not a demotion.

348
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:18,920
Speaker 1: Is actually going to showcase the Texans in front of

349
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 1: more people than they would have had in the late

350
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:24,680
Speaker 1: afternoon window in that particular situation. It varies because that

351
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 1: time it was Fox having the big, the big late

352
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:31,360
Speaker 1: afternoon game, not CBS or however it worked out. However,

353
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:32,240
Speaker 1: it played out all.

354
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:33,400
Speaker 2: Right, so you have us.

355
00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 3: This was so Green Bay on the road the next week,

356
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:37,440
Speaker 3: Week seven was the hardest one I had.

357
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:40,920
Speaker 1: That's Baltimore at home. Yeah, and it's a new Riot.

358
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:44,840
Speaker 3: That's exactly so what yes, And here was here's why

359
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:48,160
Speaker 3: I had in my mind four primetime games. That's what

360
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:50,840
Speaker 3: I had in my mind, four primetime games. And then

361
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:53,680
Speaker 3: that's fair depending on one. I'm not sure if it's

362
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 3: considered primetime or not. Boo get ten second, so I

363
00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:58,120
Speaker 3: wasn't sure about it. And then I was like, you know,

364
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:01,480
Speaker 3: I I want to make sure this comes out the

365
00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:05,880
Speaker 3: right way. But the Ravens did handle us twice last year,

366
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:09,240
Speaker 3: and they did they put.

367
00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:09,560
Speaker 2: It on us.

368
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:12,359
Speaker 1: So you're thinking the league thinks this might not be

369
00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:13,879
Speaker 1: enough of a game, correct.

370
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:19,600
Speaker 2: I doubt that. Yeah, I understand something had to give,

371
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:21,000
Speaker 2: and that was the one that had to give.

372
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 1: I just I think they'll look at this game and say,

373
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:27,359
Speaker 1: that's a big game. Although Baltimore is a national marquee team,

374
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:30,119
Speaker 1: you know, but the Texans are now too, and I

375
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:34,000
Speaker 1: mean until further notice, at least starting now or starting

376
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:36,239
Speaker 1: last year. But like you said, Mike North, that's the

377
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:38,360
Speaker 1: one I should try to project that the Texans would

378
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:40,520
Speaker 1: be that good, right, That's the one I struggled with

379
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:41,640
Speaker 1: the most because I looked.

380
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:44,600
Speaker 3: At it and went, man, you know people, you know,

381
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:48,040
Speaker 3: obviously people in the playoff game. Soa Baltimore is second half,

382
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:49,280
Speaker 3: you know that they want to go back, you know,

383
00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:52,159
Speaker 3: is a big and we haven't beaten Baltimore in a

384
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:54,840
Speaker 3: long time. So yeah, I was like, yeah, maybe make

385
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:57,520
Speaker 3: it a twelve noon game. I don't know, the more

386
00:17:57,560 --> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 3: I think about it, maybe I should have flipped the

387
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:01,160
Speaker 3: times for these these games Week seven to eight, they're

388
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:03,760
Speaker 3: both at home. But in Week eight I put the

389
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:06,879
Speaker 3: Miami Dolphins at three twenty five late late afternoon window

390
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:07,560
Speaker 3: game late.

391
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:11,280
Speaker 1: Afternoon window with the Dolphins. I think that's sexy, that's fun,

392
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 1: it's offense. It's what a lot of people want to see.

393
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:15,320
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, well I think they want to see both.

394
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:16,240
Speaker 2: Look at these.

395
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:19,000
Speaker 1: Just look at this in a row ak Green Bay, Baltimore,

396
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:24,400
Speaker 1: Miami at home. Just that that's league game stretch right there. Yeah, Johnny,

397
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 1: this is not easy. I remember look at it last

398
00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:29,920
Speaker 1: year's schedule saying there's some winnable games you're gonna play.

399
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:31,439
Speaker 2: Well, you don't know how good they're gonna be.

400
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:33,320
Speaker 1: Who knows how CJ is gonna be this time last

401
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:36,280
Speaker 1: year I'm talking about. But now I'm looking at this schedule,

402
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:38,520
Speaker 1: this mock schedule you put together. When you see it

403
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:39,120
Speaker 1: all in order.

404
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:42,080
Speaker 3: Ouch, When when you look at the stretch, I said,

405
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:44,040
Speaker 3: it flips. You start you have three of the first

406
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:47,080
Speaker 3: four on the road. Yeah, then you have three or

407
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:51,520
Speaker 3: four at home. But the three that you have are Jacksonville, Baltimore,

408
00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:52,080
Speaker 3: and Miami.

409
00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:52,480
Speaker 2: Yeah.

410
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:54,680
Speaker 1: I mean that's how that's how tough it is. But

411
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:56,720
Speaker 1: you know what you did in Week nine. I like

412
00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:59,680
Speaker 1: this bye week, Bye week. I'd rather have it even

413
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:01,840
Speaker 1: the late. Yeah, it was pretty good, much better than

414
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:02,440
Speaker 1: last year.

415
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:04,520
Speaker 3: I did have it a little bit later, and then

416
00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:06,200
Speaker 3: I had to move a few things around. You'll see

417
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:08,000
Speaker 3: whine a little bit, but okay, then I had to

418
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:11,160
Speaker 3: move it around. So yeah, bye week, after three out

419
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:12,840
Speaker 3: of four at home. Bye week, and then we get

420
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:15,280
Speaker 3: to November and we go on the road. Right at

421
00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:16,160
Speaker 3: to bye week, all.

422
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:18,920
Speaker 1: Right, go on the road to take on the Jacksonville Jaguars.

423
00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:22,320
Speaker 1: Neither Jags game in primetime. You only have four prime timers.

424
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:24,280
Speaker 1: You burn two already, so I'm eager to see what

425
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:32,200
Speaker 1: the other ones are. But Week ten at Jacksonville, November tenth, okay,

426
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:34,960
Speaker 1: so this is their salute to service game. Oh yeah,

427
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:38,480
Speaker 1: and this will be interesting, but a nooner with Jacksonville.

428
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:41,360
Speaker 1: The league has no faith in the Jaguars. That's how

429
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:44,480
Speaker 1: I read this, and neither do you. All right, so

430
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:46,280
Speaker 1: here we go. We'll see. I think they're going to

431
00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:50,200
Speaker 1: be pretty decent. But pretty decent is not marquee busting

432
00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:52,399
Speaker 1: for the league, right yet, it is good enough to

433
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:54,000
Speaker 1: give you a game, and if you're not on your

434
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 1: p's and q's. You could lose that game for sure

435
00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 1: week eleven and gets sexy week eleven. This is SEXI

436
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:05,680
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills at home Sunday night football. Yep, Carrie Underwood

437
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 1: singing the theme song. You got Tarico and Collins where

438
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:13,439
Speaker 1: you've got rock and roll and fire pyrotechnics on TV anyway,

439
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:15,800
Speaker 1: not allowed in stadiums at the moment, But that's gonna

440
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 1: be awesome.

441
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:17,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's our first.

442
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:23,280
Speaker 3: It would be our first real Sunday night football home

443
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:28,720
Speaker 3: regular season game since twenty nineteen. Wow, you're right, because

444
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:31,760
Speaker 3: that was when we played the Patriots. That's it because

445
00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:34,359
Speaker 3: in twenty twenty we played the opener and that was

446
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:35,160
Speaker 3: Thursday night.

447
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:37,760
Speaker 1: There was nothing else on Sunday. No, there was a

448
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:38,640
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving game.

449
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:39,680
Speaker 2: Wait a Giving game?

450
00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 1: Wait a minute, COVID year, what was the primetime schedule?

451
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:45,520
Speaker 2: Opener?

452
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:48,560
Speaker 1: And Thanksgiving and Thanksgiving? And that's it.

453
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:50,719
Speaker 3: That's it, because I remember when the schedule came out.

454
00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:52,920
Speaker 3: I was like, oh man, schedule makers did is wrong?

455
00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:53,359
Speaker 2: Look at this?

456
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:59,119
Speaker 1: Yeah that's crazy, although they were dead right right, but no,

457
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:02,480
Speaker 1: you know yet, I feel disrespected in retrospect coming off

458
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:05,639
Speaker 1: the twenty nineteen season another divisional championship.

459
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:07,600
Speaker 2: I know you blew it against the Chiefs, but my.

460
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:10,440
Speaker 1: Gosh, yeah, you should be favored to win the division.

461
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:11,120
Speaker 2: They were.

462
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:14,160
Speaker 1: They didn't do it, but they were favored to win

463
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:16,440
Speaker 1: the division. Going into twenty twenty, they gave us two

464
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:19,320
Speaker 1: primetime games and one of them Thanksgiving. Yep, that's not

465
00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:20,600
Speaker 1: even a primetime.

466
00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:23,760
Speaker 3: Game really we played, but we played Thursday night against

467
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:27,720
Speaker 3: the Chiefs. Then week two we had a late afternoon

468
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:31,159
Speaker 3: window against the Ravens late afternoon. But that's not Thanksgiving

469
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 3: against the Lions. That's it, and that's it.

470
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:34,320
Speaker 2: That was it.

471
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:35,679
Speaker 3: It's not all the way back in twenty twenty. So

472
00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:38,720
Speaker 3: we have not played a true Sunday night football game

473
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 3: at home in the regular seasons from twenty to will

474
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 3: be five years in between.

475
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:45,520
Speaker 2: How about that? I would love you know, how about that?

476
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:47,639
Speaker 1: To talk to Mike North about that from the league.

477
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:48,720
Speaker 1: What were you thinking?

478
00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:49,879
Speaker 2: What are you thinking? Now?

479
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:53,880
Speaker 1: COVID had already hit before the schedule comes out, correct,

480
00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:56,680
Speaker 1: so we know we're gonna have a COVID year, right?

481
00:21:56,880 --> 00:22:00,720
Speaker 1: What does that do to whatever you think these teams

482
00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:04,639
Speaker 1: are going to be? They see the Texans trade DeAndre Hopkins,

483
00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:07,240
Speaker 1: but they see the Texans sign some guys. I mean

484
00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:10,440
Speaker 1: you have Brandon Cooks, you have Randall Cobbs. You had

485
00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:12,440
Speaker 1: not at that point you had Will Fuller. You still

486
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:14,600
Speaker 1: have the Sewan you have which should be a pretty

487
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:16,439
Speaker 1: good team. In fact, you had an offense that led

488
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:19,120
Speaker 1: the league in passing. Anyway, in the.

489
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:22,679
Speaker 3: One quote unquote primetime game you played against Detroit, you

490
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:24,840
Speaker 3: put up thirty would you put it?

491
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:25,680
Speaker 2: You put up forty one?

492
00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:29,200
Speaker 1: What were the other matchups that year that were any good?

493
00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:34,040
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh on the road on the road said, uh yeah,

494
00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:36,520
Speaker 1: green Bay at home? You had green Bay at home?

495
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:38,960
Speaker 3: That was That was a game, such a nightmare that

496
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:43,800
Speaker 3: COVID night the game anyway, Yeah, Patriots.

497
00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:47,680
Speaker 2: At home, that was a noon game at Bears.

498
00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:52,200
Speaker 1: At cold were gonna stink? Did they know something? Did

499
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:55,000
Speaker 1: they project the Texans to stink that year? They did

500
00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:55,600
Speaker 1: love to know?

501
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:56,320
Speaker 2: Maybe they did?

502
00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:59,719
Speaker 1: All right, So actually Jacksonville, Buffalo Sunday Night football Week eleven,

503
00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:04,880
Speaker 1: Week twelve against the Chicago Bears at home noon star

504
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:07,639
Speaker 1: Caleb Williams, it's not going well for the Bears. It's

00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:10,160

506
00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:12,600
Speaker 2: And then what do you have today.

507
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:17,920
Speaker 1: This is gonna be Turkey dinner in Dallas.

508
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:21,360
Speaker 3: Thanksgiving Day at Dallas's cute. I kind of had moves

509
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:23,040
Speaker 3: the things around to make sure that I kept that

510
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:25,280
Speaker 3: game because I had to make sure we I put

511
00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:28,800
Speaker 3: a home game in front of it. So because I

512
00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:32,760
Speaker 3: think any team that travels on that on Thanksgiving our Thursday,

513
00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:34,520
Speaker 3: you got to have that home game in front. You

514
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:37,560
Speaker 3: got to you don't travel and then travel again down road.

515
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:42,000
Speaker 3: But this now starts the the difficult stretch.

516
00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:44,200
Speaker 1: All right, we will get to that next the stretch

517
00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:48,240
Speaker 1: run of the season. According to the mock schedule put

525
00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:14,520
Speaker 1: they make mock drafts, why not a mock schedule. And

526
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:16,280
Speaker 1: I was going over some of the games with that

527

Speaker 1: NFL schedule X account Nerdy Nerdy something yeah, Nerdington, NFL.

Speaker 1: some of the early games in it before the break,

530
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:31,280

Speaker 1: December eighth.

546
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:22,359
Speaker 2: I like that. I like the mini bie, although I.

547
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:24,320
Speaker 1: Would have saved the Titans game if I was making

548
00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:28,080
Speaker 1: the schedule myself for a later time or another time.

549
00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:28,520
Speaker 2: But I get it.

550
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:31,480
Speaker 1: The league's putting this together, not us. I should have

551
00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:32,159
Speaker 1: what the league could do.

552
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:34,600
Speaker 3: It's pretty much where I had to put Tennessee at

553
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:37,040
Speaker 3: this point, I could have flipped fourteen and fifteen, but

554
00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:39,000
Speaker 3: I didn't want and didn't see three on.

555
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:40,639
Speaker 1: The road in a row. I see, that would have

556
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:43,239
Speaker 1: been tough. I see you didn't do something. I'll give

557
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:46,560
Speaker 1: it to this in a moment. So at Tennessee December eighth,

558
00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:50,560
Speaker 1: noon start, got it. Then you get an extra day

559
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:54,720
Speaker 1: off because you're playing on Monday Night football Detroit. Wait

560
00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:58,680
Speaker 1: a minute, you have four prime times plus thanks Thanksgiving.

561
00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 1: That's right, that's very nice.

562
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:00,600
Speaker 2: That's very nice.

563
00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:03,480
Speaker 1: That's what it certainly could be. Yeah, exactly, all right.

564
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:07,639
Speaker 1: So Monday Night football, Aaron Glenn returns home with the

565
00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:11,840
Speaker 1: Detroit Lions. He's the defensive coordinator, Dan Campbell Aggie head coach,

566
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:15,359
Speaker 1: and it's the Monday Night game with Joe Buck and Troygman.

567
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:16,120
Speaker 1: I like that a lot.

568
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:17,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, with three to go.

569
00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:20,080
Speaker 1: In the regular season, so we go to Week sixteen

570
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:26,720
Speaker 1: and it's the Dreaded, Hated, Despised Despicable Horseshoe on the

571
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:29,880
Speaker 1: road a noon start. This could be flexed, it could

572
00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:31,520
Speaker 1: be flexed, flexed.

573
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:35,879
Speaker 3: It's that around Christmas time where we've taken that trip

574
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:39,080
Speaker 3: a number of times yep in and around Christmas time

575
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:42,879
Speaker 3: late December going to Indianapolis. And this is why I

576
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:45,200
Speaker 3: had tennessee where I did because I had to get

577
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:47,280
Speaker 3: those I had to get the Colts in two the

578
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:48,000
Speaker 3: last weeks.

579
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:50,600
Speaker 2: I had to get them in. So this is where

580
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:51,920
Speaker 2: I this is where you.

581
00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:54,679
Speaker 1: Did something that I don't like at all here based

582
00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:57,960
Speaker 1: on Texans history. Well, first of all, you didn't do

583
00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:01,280
Speaker 1: the Hey play out the seven twenty four or Saturday.

584
00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:03,480
Speaker 2: So you can play Christmas Day. You didn't do that

585
00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:05,520
Speaker 2: and do that. You might do that. I got us

586
00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:07,720
Speaker 2: a Thanksgiving Day games, yeah, I got us all that.

587
00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:10,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, if you're playing Thanksgiving and up playing Christmas. Although

588
00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:12,600
Speaker 1: they would put the Cowboys on every primetime game if

589
00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:15,199
Speaker 1: they could correct because people like to either watch them

590
00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:18,800
Speaker 1: win or lose, and everybody gets that. So at Indy

591
00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:26,560
Speaker 1: December twenty second Sunday and then Saturday at Minnesota because

592
00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:29,840
Speaker 1: with new Saturnesota. Yeah, this is the Saturday Sunday thing

593
00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:31,960
Speaker 1: where you're gonna get flexed into a day or one

594
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:35,600
Speaker 1: day or another or whatever. So at Minnesota Saturday, here's

595
00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:39,240
Speaker 1: what I don't like. You went with the exact final

596
00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:42,959
Speaker 1: three games that the Texans had in the twenty twelve season.

597
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:48,120
Speaker 1: Oh really, yes, so the twenty twelve season. And here's

598
00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:50,960
Speaker 1: why I don't like it. The twenty twelve season. And

599
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:53,000
Speaker 1: I know this has nothing to do with what's going

600
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:55,200
Speaker 1: on now or reality, but go with me because this

601
00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:58,480
Speaker 1: is sports and we just have fun. Yeah, in twenty twelve,

602
00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:02,840
Speaker 1: I've likened this off season at twenty twelve. This is

603
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:07,240
Speaker 1: the most off season excitement and anticipation I remember since

604
00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:10,679
Speaker 1: that offseason. And I think it's more now for a

605
00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:14,120
Speaker 1: variety of reasons, some of which I've shared. Demiko Ryans

606
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:17,919
Speaker 1: versus Kubiak. Kubiak beloved head coach, no question about it.

607
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:21,080
Speaker 1: He'd been around for a while by then. People expected

608
00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:23,359
Speaker 1: a lot of things. It was, hey, you gotta do

609
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:27,120
Speaker 1: this for us now, Dimiko. It's we love Demko. Year

610
00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:30,679
Speaker 1: one was amazing. What's the encore? It's just a different vibe,

611
00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:33,840
Speaker 1: all right? Yep, both beloved. I get it, but a

612
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:39,120
Speaker 1: different vibe. And CJ. Stroud first year. Amazing. Second year,

613
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:42,760
Speaker 1: we want even more amazing. Right that was shob got

614
00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:46,160
Speaker 1: hurt in twenty eleven, shops coming back now in twenty twelve,

615
00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:48,240
Speaker 1: can we go to the super Bowl?

616
00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:49,400
Speaker 2: That was the off season question.

617
00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:53,680
Speaker 1: This year it's a similar question and different circumstances leading

618
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:55,719
Speaker 1: into that. But anyway, so a lot of off season

619
00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:59,960
Speaker 1: excitement that year. Though down the stretch the Texans faded

620
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:02,400
Speaker 1: four games to go, they were eleven and one. They

621
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:04,720
Speaker 1: go to New England, Monon I have football, get blasted

622
00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:07,480
Speaker 1: with the Letterman Jackets. Then they return home to face

623
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:10,680
Speaker 1: the Colts. They win the division. That was a tough game.

624
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:13,600
Speaker 1: They won the division. Then they take on the Vikings

625
00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:17,360
Speaker 1: at home, not on the road. The Vikings lose to

626
00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:20,640
Speaker 1: the Vikings, a playoff team, Christian ponder, but a playoff

627
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:23,680
Speaker 1: Viking team knocked off the Texans Christmas Weekend at home.

628
00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:26,040
Speaker 1: Then they go to the Colts and lose, and they

629
00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:27,800
Speaker 1: end up in the wild card round instead of with

630
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:29,920
Speaker 1: home field advantage throughout they only needed one of those

631
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:30,320
Speaker 1: final two.

632
00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:31,040
Speaker 2: Couldn't get them.

633
00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:33,440
Speaker 1: You have the exact same three games except road and

634
00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:38,320
Speaker 1: home mixed up here Indy Minnesota, Indy to finish off

635
00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:41,320
Speaker 1: your mock schedule, and I don't like that at all.

636
00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:44,640
Speaker 3: Holy cow, I just realized, Mark, I just I'm looking

637
00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:45,760
Speaker 3: at the twenty twelve schedule.

638
00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:49,920
Speaker 2: I didn't I had no idea. But the last six

639
00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:52,360
Speaker 2: games of the year were Detroit.

640
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:58,600
Speaker 3: In twenty twelve were Detroit, Tennessee, New England, Indy, Minnesota, Indy.

641
00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:03,920
Speaker 3: The games I have are Tennessee, Detroit, Indye, Minnesota, India.

642
00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:07,280
Speaker 3: I mean I have one. I have one that's different.

643
00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:09,320
Speaker 3: I didn't even look at twenty twelve. I think this

644
00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:12,680
Speaker 3: was fascinating. We played sixteen games at twenty twelve, and

645
00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:15,400
Speaker 3: I know this happens in due time because you'll play

646
00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:18,280
Speaker 3: the same division at certain points. But we're playing both

647
00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:21,320
Speaker 3: the AFC East and the NFC North like we did

648
00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:25,120
Speaker 3: in twenty twelve. There's only one team that's different, only one,

649
00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:26,800
Speaker 3: and that is Dallas.

650
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:29,800
Speaker 2: The We don't have Dallas the Denver Broncos.

651
00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:32,520
Speaker 3: We're playing the Kansas City Chiefs instead of the Denver

652
00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:33,800
Speaker 3: Broncos played.

653
00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:35,080
Speaker 2: Dev that year Week three on the road.

654
00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:36,200
Speaker 1: Peyton manning that job.

655
00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:38,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the only game that's different. And then in

656
00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:39,560
Speaker 3: Dallas is added.

657
00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:44,240
Speaker 1: Because similar that's Oh my god, it's fine, so strange.

658
00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:48,880
Speaker 1: Remove that stain from franchise history that finished in twenty twelve,

659
00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:50,920
Speaker 1: even though you want a playoff game that was great

660
00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:53,320
Speaker 1: but obviously didn't go where you wanted to go. Remove

661
00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:57,880
Speaker 1: that disappointment with the similar schedule here, go ahead, take

662
00:30:57,880 --> 00:31:00,760
Speaker 1: care of business. Just like you played a huge game

663
00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:03,680
Speaker 1: against the Colts last week of the regular season and

664
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:06,840
Speaker 1: won it at their place to knock them out last year.

665
00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:09,920
Speaker 1: This is a different era, a different Texans team, and

666
00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:13,440
Speaker 1: they're gonna get the job done. I love finishing against Indy.

667
00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:16,080
Speaker 1: That could easily be flexed. This is on your mock schedule.

668
00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:19,640
Speaker 1: Gemuary fits Sunday at noon that suckers going on Sunday

669
00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:22,280
Speaker 1: night or maybe not, maybe the Cults suck. And it's

670
00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:24,360
Speaker 1: gonna be a game where the Texans play reserves.

671
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:27,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you get ready play right bye? Okay, So

672
00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:29,360
Speaker 3: this is this is really weird. I did not look

673
00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:31,720
Speaker 3: at this twenty twelve schedule at all. I didn't I

674
00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:33,920
Speaker 3: had I didn't even I didn't even think about looking

675
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:34,240
Speaker 3: at it.

676
00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:36,920
Speaker 1: You got howday night at the Jets, which they played

677
00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:37,640
Speaker 1: mon then I had the Jets.

678
00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:40,680
Speaker 2: Twenty five time games did we have in twenty.

679
00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:43,320
Speaker 1: Twelve four plus the thanks for the plus Thanksgiving Detroit.

680
00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:47,360
Speaker 2: Yes, four plus gimmis. I didn't even I didn't even

681
00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:47,840
Speaker 2: look at it.

682
00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:49,960
Speaker 3: I didn't even have an idea, But oh my god,

683
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:54,000
Speaker 3: the similarities. Holy smokes. There was one late afternoon window

684
00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:56,680
Speaker 3: game that was at Denver. I have I have a

685
00:31:56,840 --> 00:32:00,240
Speaker 3: I have two. I have two late windows. I do

686
00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:02,600
Speaker 3: have a Saturday game, and I don't think we had

687
00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:03,600
Speaker 3: a Saturday game.

688
00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:06,440
Speaker 2: Wait, wait a second. Did we have a Saturday game?

689
00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:06,680
Speaker 1: Oh?

690
00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:08,320
Speaker 2: We played the Patriots on Monday night? That's right.

691
00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:08,560
Speaker 1: Yeah.

692
00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:09,920
Speaker 3: Because I was doing a math, I'm like, just eight

693
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:11,239
Speaker 3: days between. There's six over here.

694
00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:12,840
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I played the Monday Oh god, that Monday

695
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:13,240
Speaker 2: night game.

696
00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:16,720
Speaker 3: So yeah, four primetime games, a Monday night or to

697
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:19,240
Speaker 3: open the season at the Jets, a Sunday night game

698
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:22,840
Speaker 3: Week four at Arrowhead against the Chiefs, a Sunday night

699
00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:25,480
Speaker 3: game at home against the Bills, the first Choose Sunday

700
00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:28,800
Speaker 3: night football home regular season game since twenty nineteen, And

701
00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:30,880
Speaker 3: a Monday night game at home.

702
00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:32,280
Speaker 2: Again.

703
00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:36,480
Speaker 3: It's our first Monday night game at home since twenty eighteen?

704
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:39,000
Speaker 2: Is that right? I think that's right?

705
00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:43,000
Speaker 3: Really, I think because did we have one in twenty nineteen,

706
00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:43,600
Speaker 3: I don't think we do.

707
00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:45,560
Speaker 2: Twenty nine. Oh yeah, I take it back. We played

708
00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:47,360
Speaker 2: the Saints, but at home. But at home.

709
00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:49,640
Speaker 1: It'd be since twenty eight to open the season. Might

710
00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:54,640
Speaker 1: open the season on the road, yep. And then Thanksgiving

711
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:59,280
Speaker 1: against Dallas. It's so weird to open Monday night and

712
00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:01,760
Speaker 1: the Texans have on it at least twice San Diego

713
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:05,400
Speaker 1: in twenty thirteen, and then twenty nineteen against the Saints.

714
00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:06,680
Speaker 2: Correct, you know, it's weird.

715
00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:11,600
Speaker 1: So twenty nineteen, were sitting here and that San Diego

716
00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:15,120
Speaker 1: game was six years prior. Yeah, six years prior. Right

717
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:18,480
Speaker 1: now feels like last Tuesday. Right, twenty eighteen feels like,

718
00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:20,680
Speaker 1: oh yeah, that's like last Wednesday? Are you kidding?

719
00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:21,280
Speaker 2: Exactly?

720
00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:26,120
Speaker 1: At that point it felt like an eon before it

721
00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:29,160
Speaker 1: was a whole other coaching regime. But this is three

722
00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:32,440
Speaker 1: four regimes. But it feels like it's a lot more recent.

723
00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:34,360
Speaker 1: I don't know why. It's just one of those time things.

724
00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:36,520
Speaker 3: There are probably some people out there stream at the

725
00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:39,440
Speaker 3: radio going no, no, no, it's felt like twenty years

726
00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:43,040
Speaker 3: since that particular game. I remember that game clear as day.

727
00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:46,240
Speaker 3: I mean, that game was unbelievable against the Saints. That

728
00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:49,840
Speaker 3: was that environment that night. It was the first game

729
00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:53,200
Speaker 3: after the Saints had gotten really kind of closed out

730
00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:56,640
Speaker 3: of the NFC Championship game, and that was the first

731
00:33:56,640 --> 00:33:59,000
Speaker 3: game back, and that place was.

732
00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:03,120
Speaker 1: I want to say something about that because you're watching

733
00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:05,800
Speaker 1: the NBA playoffs I'm sure at least some of them. Yeah,

734
00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:08,960
Speaker 1: And I'm watching the finish of the Knicks last night

735
00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:09,800
Speaker 1: and the Pacers.

736
00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:11,760
Speaker 2: I haven't seen the finish. I heard it was not great.

737
00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:15,160
Speaker 1: All right, here's the thing about the NBA. I love

738
00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:17,120
Speaker 1: that they can get the call right and go to review.

739
00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:21,000
Speaker 1: I love that you have that, Yet I hate it

740
00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:24,040
Speaker 1: at the same time because everything is reviewed. It feels

741
00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:27,040
Speaker 1: like everything is reviewed, and in that particular game, there

742
00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:28,839
Speaker 1: were a lot of like did that happen or did

743
00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:31,480
Speaker 1: it not happen? And you needed to challenge, you needed

744
00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:34,560
Speaker 1: to take a look at it. Yet, ah man, it's

745
00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:36,600
Speaker 1: got to be faster, because, as you bring up the

746
00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:40,280
Speaker 1: Saints and the Rams, that sucker needed to be reviewed.

747
00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:43,120
Speaker 1: When you look at the NFL and how superior the

748
00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:46,360
Speaker 1: NFL is as a viewed product compared to the other sports,

749
00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:48,839
Speaker 1: Yet the NBA would have something in there to get

750
00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:49,239
Speaker 1: that right.

751
00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:51,920
Speaker 2: Was that a foul or not right now.

752
00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:55,000
Speaker 1: You got to have that in You have to figure

753
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:58,080
Speaker 1: out a way NFL to have that in final five

754
00:34:58,120 --> 00:35:00,360
Speaker 1: minutes of a playoff game, whatever you have to do

755
00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:03,440
Speaker 1: in order to have a get the call right scenario.

756
00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:06,879
Speaker 1: And I was talking with Dan Pastorini again last week

757
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:10,120
Speaker 1: or two weeks ago, and I hope I didn't bring

758
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:10,360
Speaker 1: it up.

759
00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:10,879
Speaker 2: I think I did.

760
00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:13,800
Speaker 1: I brought up Pittsburgh AFC Championship. I can't help myself

761
00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:16,960
Speaker 1: when I'm with Dante. I actually started talking about the

762
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:19,279
Speaker 1: week before against the Chargers, how he was out. We

763
00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:21,560
Speaker 1: were talking about his injuries actually, but then it went

764
00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:25,520
Speaker 1: to Pittsburgh and I thought, he said, you know, if

765
00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:28,840
Speaker 1: renfro is, if that's rule to catch, there's no guarantee

766
00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:31,680
Speaker 1: they win the game, correct, but the momentums on their

767
00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:33,759
Speaker 1: so no doubt. And it puts the pressure back on

768
00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:35,759
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh because that would have tied it right. That puts

769
00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:39,000
Speaker 1: the pressure back on Premberg. Got to have a way

770
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:40,759
Speaker 1: to get the call right. And that happened back then

771
00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:43,400
Speaker 1: nineteen seventy nine. We still don't have a way to

772
00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:46,480
Speaker 1: get that particular call. Well, we have that particular call,

773
00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:49,560
Speaker 1: but I'm talking about like the Rams and the Saints.

774
00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:53,839
Speaker 1: Pass interference a crucial one, an obvious one like that,

775
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:55,840
Speaker 1: there's no recourse. There has to be.

776
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:59,280
Speaker 3: There absolutely had to be in that situation, and there wasn't.

777
00:35:59,840 --> 00:36:01,880
Speaker 3: I remember the next day, I was going to the

778
00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:03,960
Speaker 3: Senior Bowl, so we flew to New Orleans and took

779
00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:05,360
Speaker 3: a car from New Orleans just to cut off a

780
00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:08,000
Speaker 3: little bit of the trip driving wise. And I remember

781
00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:11,319
Speaker 3: walking through the airport that next day and it was

782
00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:14,880
Speaker 3: a morgue. I heard these two security guys kind of

783
00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:17,120
Speaker 3: talking to one another, and they were so funny. They

784
00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:20,359
Speaker 3: they just it was it was as if they'd been

785
00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:22,600
Speaker 3: talking about it all day and they would just kind

786
00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:26,520
Speaker 3: of bring it up, and I kind of chuckled underneath, like, man,

787
00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:26,879
Speaker 3: you guys.

788
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:29,680
Speaker 2: They did get hosed badly on that one.

789
00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:32,840
Speaker 3: But that was the last time we played a Monday

790
00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:33,839
Speaker 3: night football game.

791
00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:35,120
Speaker 1: That's incredible.

792
00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:37,279
Speaker 3: Now there was a Saturday night game where we had

793
00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:39,840
Speaker 3: the Monday Night cast this past.

794
00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:40,640
Speaker 2: Year against the Colts.

795
00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:43,120
Speaker 3: It's not the same, but we haven't played a hole

796
00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:47,880
Speaker 3: Monday night game since twenty eighteen. The weekend after the

797
00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:51,239
Speaker 3: Monday after Bob and Nary passed away and that game

798
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:52,399
Speaker 3: whoa man.

799
00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:54,080
Speaker 2: That game, Holy smokes.

800
00:36:54,120 --> 00:36:57,160
Speaker 3: The emotions in that game were all over the place.

801
00:36:57,440 --> 00:36:58,399
Speaker 2: But we won that game.

802
00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:01,160
Speaker 3: So six years in between, a Monday Night game and

803
00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:03,439
Speaker 3: it'll be a couple of Texans. I'm bringing their guys

804
00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:06,200
Speaker 3: down from Detroit and Dan Campbell and Aaron Glenn.

805
00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:10,040
Speaker 1: All right, that's a John Harris mock schedule roundup on

806
00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:12,360
Speaker 1: Houston Texans dot com. And by the way, when I

807
00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:14,480
Speaker 1: say it's not the same with the Saturday thing last

808
00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:18,879
Speaker 1: year with Monday Night's crew because it wasn't scheduled that way,

809
00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:21,480
Speaker 1: but it was even more special because I felt like

810
00:37:21,520 --> 00:37:23,239
Speaker 1: that was a playoff game all week long. It just

811
00:37:23,239 --> 00:37:26,240
Speaker 1: felt like this a raft game, hype, playoff game build up.

812
00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:30,160
Speaker 1: It's a playoff game. And the Texans and the Colts too,

813
00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:32,520
Speaker 1: they were in playoff mode that week. All right, coming up,

814
00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:36,440
Speaker 1: got one more segment, John Harris is gonna tell me

815
00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:41,799
Speaker 1: which three rookies will play the most this year. Let's

816
00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:44,920
Speaker 1: go over the rookies, the draft choices. I want at

817
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:47,680
Speaker 1: least one wild card in there, Johnny Okay of who's

818
00:37:47,719 --> 00:37:51,239
Speaker 1: gonna play the most among the rookie class that's been

819
00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:55,520
Speaker 1: reported it's Texans All Access final segment here on Texans

820
00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:58,239
Speaker 1: Radio tonight, Mark Vandermre and John Harris with you, and

821
00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:02,240
Speaker 1: Johnny has promised rookies are going to play the most.

822
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:08,680
Speaker 1: I will give you the candidates you have, Blake Fisher tackle.

823
00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:10,960
Speaker 1: I'm not going in order of when they were drafted, Okay,

824
00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:17,000
Speaker 1: Cad Stover tight end, Kamari Lassiter corner, Nickel corner corner,

825
00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:21,839
Speaker 1: Jalen Bullock safety. I will go with I mean, does

826
00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:27,440
Speaker 1: anybody else really qualify here? To re Jawar Jordan running back? Okay,

827
00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:30,239
Speaker 1: bear with me here, yep. And I'm gonna leave the

828
00:38:30,280 --> 00:38:32,560
Speaker 1: other guys out of it for now, should I? Jamal

829
00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:33,719
Speaker 1: Hill the linebacker?

830
00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:34,040
Speaker 3: Yeah?

831
00:38:34,080 --> 00:38:35,440
Speaker 1: I think I will leave them out of it.

832
00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:35,799
Speaker 3: Yeah.

833
00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:37,480
Speaker 2: If I've done so much drafted.

834
00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:39,480
Speaker 1: Free agents here? Have they even released a list yet?

835
00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:43,000
Speaker 1: Probably not till rookie camp officially arrives, But there you

836
00:38:43,120 --> 00:38:46,920
Speaker 1: have it. And our friends at our lads have done

837
00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:48,400
Speaker 1: some interesting things. You want me to tell you what

838
00:38:48,440 --> 00:38:49,120
Speaker 1: they are first?

839
00:38:49,320 --> 00:38:50,960
Speaker 2: No, I'll tell you and then you can tell me.

840
00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:55,400
Speaker 3: Okay, I think in a perfect world, I think Blake

841
00:38:55,560 --> 00:38:58,120
Speaker 3: is even though I said he's coming here to compete

842
00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:00,879
Speaker 3: for more than the swing tackle job.

843
00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:03,160
Speaker 2: He's coming here to compete, which is gonna be good

844
00:39:03,160 --> 00:39:03,479
Speaker 2: to watch.

845
00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:05,759
Speaker 3: But I, in my heart of hearts, I just we

846
00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:06,799
Speaker 3: need Titus and.

847
00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:09,040
Speaker 2: Laraman to stay healthy all year long.

848
00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:11,520
Speaker 3: This offensive line is just that much better when Titus

849
00:39:11,520 --> 00:39:13,680
Speaker 3: is a tackle and playing well and Laramie is playing

850
00:39:13,719 --> 00:39:17,600
Speaker 3: at his at his high standard. I think Kamari Lassiter

851
00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:21,239
Speaker 3: is a starter. I don't know which position, but I

852
00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:22,920
Speaker 3: think he is a starter. I think he is just

853
00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:24,600
Speaker 3: going to be too good a football player to keep

854
00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:26,640
Speaker 3: off the field. And whether he's a nickel or whether

855
00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:29,520
Speaker 3: he's I said this during a draft, and I go

856
00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:31,319
Speaker 3: back to this because then there's there's always this talk

857
00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:33,040
Speaker 3: a lot of times about corners and nickels and all

858
00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:33,720
Speaker 3: that kind of stuff.

859
00:39:33,880 --> 00:39:35,520
Speaker 2: I do think there is a learning curve that goes

860
00:39:35,520 --> 00:39:36,400
Speaker 2: with playing inside.

861
00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:39,799
Speaker 3: But when Kamari Lassiter went inside, it wasn't often, but

862
00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:41,239
Speaker 3: he did it in one game in particular, it was

863
00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:44,640
Speaker 3: against Luther Burdon from Missouri, and he helped shut Luther

864
00:39:44,719 --> 00:39:47,320
Speaker 3: Burton down after an early touchdown that Luther got against

865
00:39:47,360 --> 00:39:49,799
Speaker 3: an outside corner on the other side that was not

866
00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:52,040
Speaker 3: against last So Laster went in and really kind of

867
00:39:52,040 --> 00:39:54,480
Speaker 3: shut him down and helped shut down Missouri after that point.

868
00:39:54,920 --> 00:39:58,440
Speaker 2: So I think Laster starts. I just don't know eventually starts.

869
00:39:58,719 --> 00:39:59,399
Speaker 2: I just don't know.

870
00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:03,399
Speaker 3: Exactly which position that's gonna be. I think that Kate

871
00:40:03,440 --> 00:40:06,879
Speaker 3: Stover is gonna end up being a starter. Now it's

872
00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:11,799
Speaker 3: gonna depend on personnel groupings. And like when you go

873
00:40:11,880 --> 00:40:14,960
Speaker 3: look at you go look at Nico's games played and

874
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:19,040
Speaker 3: games started, you think Nico's a starter, right, Yeah, But

875
00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:21,799
Speaker 3: he played I think fifteen games, he started twelve, so

876
00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:23,239
Speaker 3: there's three games he didn't start. Well, that was just

877
00:40:23,239 --> 00:40:25,719
Speaker 3: because of personnel at the start of a game. I

878
00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:29,080
Speaker 3: think Stover is going to be in the rotation for sure.

879
00:40:29,640 --> 00:40:31,560
Speaker 3: I think he is gonna be in. Yeah, he's gonna

880
00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:34,120
Speaker 3: get yeah starters minutes, even if it's you know, it's

881
00:40:34,120 --> 00:40:36,640
Speaker 3: gonna be like Mono Genobili in some sense. I mean

882
00:40:36,680 --> 00:40:39,239
Speaker 3: that's start. But he's gonna because of personnel groups, he's

883
00:40:39,280 --> 00:40:40,960
Speaker 3: gonna be in there. So I'm gonna go, I'm gonna

884
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:44,239
Speaker 3: go with Kate Stover the one that I want. I

885
00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:48,200
Speaker 3: want to say, and I'm just not totally sure how.

886
00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:51,640
Speaker 3: I just I can't envision it just yet as Juwar

887
00:40:51,719 --> 00:40:55,279
Speaker 3: Jordan because I think on third down, he's gonna give

888
00:40:55,320 --> 00:40:57,879
Speaker 3: them something a little bit different. Now that role has

889
00:40:57,920 --> 00:40:59,600
Speaker 3: to evolve. He's got to show that he can pass

890
00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:02,279
Speaker 3: proteg because that's gonna be a big part of being

891
00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:05,160
Speaker 3: on third down. But he's also gonna be a guy

892
00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:08,080
Speaker 3: on third and six. How are you gonna match up

893
00:41:08,080 --> 00:41:09,880
Speaker 3: with all the receivers? So you're in eleven personnel and

894
00:41:09,920 --> 00:41:12,239
Speaker 3: Schultz is one of those. Schultz is the tight end.

895
00:41:12,719 --> 00:41:16,239
Speaker 3: And you've got say, Tank, Diggs and Nico all out

896
00:41:16,239 --> 00:41:19,200
Speaker 3: there together with Schultz, who are you gonna double? And

897
00:41:19,200 --> 00:41:21,680
Speaker 3: all of a sudden you put Jamar Jordan back there. Well,

898
00:41:21,840 --> 00:41:25,399
Speaker 3: obviously he is gonna not see one of those. He's

899
00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:28,000
Speaker 3: gonna see a linebacker probably or a nickel safety. He's

900
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:31,080
Speaker 3: gonna be able to beat that. But yeah, obviously he

901
00:41:31,120 --> 00:41:33,000
Speaker 3: has to prove you can pass for tech. So just

902
00:41:33,040 --> 00:41:36,040
Speaker 3: as a wild card, I think Jawar Jordan is gonna

903
00:41:36,120 --> 00:41:38,440
Speaker 3: end up being a part of the offense. I don't

904
00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:41,279
Speaker 3: know starter wise, but I do think he's gonna be

905
00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:45,040
Speaker 3: part of the offense. Kaylen Bullock, That's an interesting one

906
00:41:45,080 --> 00:41:49,279
Speaker 3: to me because if Jimmy's healthy, Jimmy has to be

907
00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:51,239
Speaker 3: on a field Jimmy Ward. Of course he's got to

908
00:41:51,239 --> 00:41:53,160
Speaker 3: be on a field. There's so much that he provides.

909
00:41:53,520 --> 00:41:55,759
Speaker 3: So then it comes down to, all right, Jalen's got

910
00:41:55,760 --> 00:41:56,239
Speaker 3: to play better.

911
00:41:56,280 --> 00:41:58,440
Speaker 2: He knows that. I think everybody's building knows that he's

912
00:41:58,480 --> 00:41:59,200
Speaker 2: got to play better.

913
00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:02,480
Speaker 3: But he's After the Browns game, he came back and

914
00:42:02,520 --> 00:42:05,120
Speaker 3: I thought, played better, more consistent for the last few

915
00:42:05,160 --> 00:42:07,799
Speaker 3: games of the year. So if you get that from

916
00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:10,279
Speaker 3: those two, then hopefully you don't see Kaylen Bullock either.

917
00:42:10,640 --> 00:42:15,600
Speaker 3: But depending on how you put things together. You know,

918
00:42:15,719 --> 00:42:16,520
Speaker 3: last year I think.

919
00:42:16,480 --> 00:42:17,640
Speaker 2: Was the Broncos.

920
00:42:18,200 --> 00:42:21,200
Speaker 3: I think it was a Broncos game, and they played

921
00:42:21,280 --> 00:42:23,359
Speaker 3: DHC at one safety, Jayalen at the other, and then

922
00:42:23,440 --> 00:42:26,279
Speaker 3: Jimmy dropped down and played the nickel. Now I know

923
00:42:27,080 --> 00:42:28,879
Speaker 3: one of the things in San Francisco was Jimmy, we're

924
00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:29,560
Speaker 3: going to play the nickel.

925
00:42:29,560 --> 00:42:31,840
Speaker 2: He won't play safety, et cetera. But to me, Jimmy

926
00:42:31,840 --> 00:42:33,560
Speaker 2: Ward's gonna do what he's got to do. So I

927
00:42:33,600 --> 00:42:35,520
Speaker 2: think there could be some three safety looks.

928
00:42:35,239 --> 00:42:38,280
Speaker 3: That they could use interesting that could end up being

929
00:42:39,080 --> 00:42:41,200
Speaker 3: kind of interesting. Whether they want to play Jimmy and

930
00:42:41,400 --> 00:42:44,360
Speaker 3: Jimmy and Jalen back and then Jalen drops down and

931
00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:45,120
Speaker 3: covers one on one.

932
00:42:45,160 --> 00:42:45,680
Speaker 2: Who knows.

933
00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:47,600
Speaker 3: So I think there's gonna be some interesting stuff that

934
00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:49,520
Speaker 3: they can do, But that would be the way that

935
00:42:49,520 --> 00:42:52,040
Speaker 3: I would go. I think I think Kamari starts. I

936
00:42:52,040 --> 00:42:54,040
Speaker 3: think that Kate Stover is gonna definitely be part of it.

937
00:42:54,080 --> 00:42:56,000
Speaker 3: Jeorde's gonna find a way, whether he's the third down

938
00:42:56,040 --> 00:42:57,960
Speaker 3: back or what. I think he's gonna find a way

939
00:42:57,960 --> 00:42:59,759
Speaker 3: on a field, especially the second half of the year.

940
00:43:00,520 --> 00:43:02,520
Speaker 3: And then keep it eye that three safety packages they.

941
00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:04,919
Speaker 2: Could roll with. Okay, I like that.

942
00:43:05,200 --> 00:43:08,960
Speaker 1: I like Caln Bullet getting some minutes or snaps and Lassiter.

943
00:43:09,120 --> 00:43:14,759
Speaker 1: It's funny because our lads starting Nickel Classiter, starting right

944
00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:20,120
Speaker 1: tackle Blake Fisher with Titus playing guard alongside Laramie. And look,

945
00:43:20,160 --> 00:43:23,400
Speaker 1: it might be that might be the best left guard

946
00:43:23,440 --> 00:43:24,760
Speaker 1: that you have on the roster.

947
00:43:24,960 --> 00:43:25,600
Speaker 2: That he might be.

948
00:43:25,920 --> 00:43:29,160
Speaker 1: Now, we have high hopes for obviously one one, Kenyan

949
00:43:29,200 --> 00:43:32,879
Speaker 1: Green to work out. The first round draft choice, Kendrick Green.

950
00:43:32,960 --> 00:43:35,280
Speaker 1: We talked about him in short order. He did really

951
00:43:35,320 --> 00:43:39,360
Speaker 1: well here, particularly against Pittsburgh.

952
00:43:38,239 --> 00:43:39,319
Speaker 2: But he got hurt.

953
00:43:39,680 --> 00:43:42,560
Speaker 1: So does he bounce back super strong and get a

954
00:43:42,560 --> 00:43:46,399
Speaker 1: bunch of time at guard? We don't know, but if

955
00:43:46,400 --> 00:43:48,520
Speaker 1: you're just setting up the line, if the coaches are

956
00:43:48,560 --> 00:43:52,359
Speaker 1: playing this weekend, and Fisher's really good at tackle, get

957
00:43:52,400 --> 00:43:54,040
Speaker 1: him on the field and put Titus at guard because

958
00:43:54,080 --> 00:43:56,040
Speaker 1: you want to be as great at guard as possible.

959
00:43:56,080 --> 00:43:57,640
Speaker 1: Maybe he's the best guard you have on the roster

960
00:43:57,719 --> 00:44:00,879
Speaker 1: at that spot with Juice at center and Patterson backing

961
00:44:00,920 --> 00:44:01,239
Speaker 1: them up.

962
00:44:01,680 --> 00:44:02,760
Speaker 2: So I think.

963
00:44:04,080 --> 00:44:06,359
Speaker 1: From that's what our lads has You and I talked

964
00:44:06,400 --> 00:44:08,839
Speaker 1: about this from the start of the offseason, before one

965
00:44:08,880 --> 00:44:12,960
Speaker 1: free agent acquisition was made, that offensive line solutions might

966
00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:15,759
Speaker 1: be in the building. Now, clearly they added Fisher. He

967
00:44:15,840 --> 00:44:18,680
Speaker 1: was outside the building they drafted him, but he's highly

968
00:44:18,719 --> 00:44:22,680
Speaker 1: touted to be a good right tackle prospect. And Ladarius Henderson,

969
00:44:22,920 --> 00:44:25,600
Speaker 1: who they acquired from Michigan in round seven, who knows.

970
00:44:25,760 --> 00:44:27,240
Speaker 1: I mean, maybe it turns out to be a player.

971
00:44:27,719 --> 00:44:29,879
Speaker 1: They'll put him in the mix. What about the jack

972
00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:32,600
Speaker 1: Rabbits at receiver. No, they're not going to play the most,

973
00:44:32,760 --> 00:44:38,120
Speaker 1: but I think the top three rookies Fisher, Lassiter, Stover,

974
00:44:38,640 --> 00:44:40,760
Speaker 1: and then Bullock those would.

975
00:44:40,520 --> 00:44:44,040
Speaker 2: Be the picks. Yeah, I think so they have Lassiter,

976
00:44:44,680 --> 00:44:46,680
Speaker 2: do they have any other rookies? Where's he?

977
00:44:46,760 --> 00:44:50,080
Speaker 1: FK Plick is a a Stover is a backup to

978
00:44:50,760 --> 00:44:53,520
Speaker 1: Dalton Schultz because they only have one starting tight end

979
00:44:53,640 --> 00:44:56,480
Speaker 1: list and then they have Teague in them. Brevin really

980
00:44:57,400 --> 00:44:59,400
Speaker 1: Teagan good blocker, we know that, but he's got to

981
00:44:59,400 --> 00:45:00,120
Speaker 1: stay healthy.

982
00:45:00,600 --> 00:45:00,920
Speaker 2: Brevin.

983
00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:03,560
Speaker 1: Look, we were talking to Owen Daniels and he's gonna

984
00:45:03,560 --> 00:45:08,120
Speaker 1: be on Texans OG's with awesome and it's tight end

985
00:45:08,120 --> 00:45:10,480
Speaker 1: as such. It's one of those positions right where you

986
00:45:10,560 --> 00:45:11,600
Speaker 1: have this guy, that.

987
00:45:11,520 --> 00:45:13,640
Speaker 2: Guy get combinations.

988
00:45:13,719 --> 00:45:15,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I mean you can have guys that play

989
00:45:15,719 --> 00:45:17,319
Speaker 3: ten plays a game, but they start every game.

990
00:45:17,400 --> 00:45:20,279
Speaker 1: He loves Brevin Jordan as an athlete and what he's

991
00:45:20,280 --> 00:45:22,080
Speaker 1: been able to do so far. Let's let's see if

992
00:45:22,080 --> 00:45:24,920
Speaker 1: Brev has a kind of breakout year we're all searching for, right.

993
00:45:25,280 --> 00:45:28,240
Speaker 1: I think this could be a really really good group.

994
00:45:28,280 --> 00:45:31,319
Speaker 1: If Stover emerges, Brev takes that step you're looking for,

995
00:45:31,520 --> 00:45:32,600
Speaker 1: because he's shown it to you.

996
00:45:33,280 --> 00:45:36,280
Speaker 3: Day healthy obviously, stay healthy.

997
00:45:36,719 --> 00:45:38,640
Speaker 2: Tight ends stay healthy.

998
00:45:38,719 --> 00:45:42,760
Speaker 3: We have had tight ends miss too many, significant number

999
00:45:42,800 --> 00:45:46,120
Speaker 3: of games too many over the last few years. When

1000
00:45:46,160 --> 00:45:49,440
Speaker 3: they're healthy, they're productive, but then they're they're productive, but

1001
00:45:49,480 --> 00:45:51,359
Speaker 3: then they're gone for four or five weeks. The tight

1002
00:45:51,440 --> 00:45:55,239
Speaker 3: ends have got to stay healthy. Please, That's what o'

1003
00:45:55,360 --> 00:45:59,120
Speaker 3: daniels did. Own Daniels stayed healthy for the most part.

1004
00:45:59,200 --> 00:45:59,960
Speaker 2: We stayed healthy.

1005
00:46:00,320 --> 00:46:02,880
Speaker 1: That's the kind of stuff Nick talks about. Right, You

1006
00:46:02,960 --> 00:46:06,359
Speaker 1: can't improve unless you're healthy, unless you're out there. That's

1007
00:46:06,400 --> 00:46:10,560
Speaker 1: breaking exactly. Can't get better. You're focusing on rehab, not

1008
00:46:10,640 --> 00:46:13,359
Speaker 1: on improving your draft. So how can you get better

1009
00:46:13,400 --> 00:46:15,239
Speaker 1: if you don't do it. You got to do it.

1010
00:46:15,320 --> 00:46:18,000
Speaker 1: So that's it and we'll do it again tomorrow. Got

1011
00:46:18,040 --> 00:46:20,600
Speaker 1: another show for you. It's going to be fun. Eventually

1013
