1 00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:03,760 Speaker 1: Welcome into Texans All Access on a Tuesday from inside 2 00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:07,840 Speaker 1: the Hunday Texans Radio Studio, I'm Dpcday joining me John Harris, 3 00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:11,160 Speaker 1: Drew Doherty. Hey guys, how's it going today? It's good man. 4 00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:17,000 Speaker 1: I love this news coming out. Schedule. Finally, about a 5 00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:20,280 Speaker 1: taste of the schedule. We should preface that first of all. Yeah, 6 00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:22,840 Speaker 1: let's get let's get to it, because I think this 7 00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:24,480 Speaker 1: is something that we look forward to every year, the 8 00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:27,160 Speaker 1: schedule release. But then, of course the NFL never releases 9 00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:29,760 Speaker 1: the entire schedule at once. They like to give you 10 00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:34,520 Speaker 1: bits and pieces. So today the preseason schedule was announced. 11 00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:37,159 Speaker 1: And when I say schedule, I mean that very loosely 12 00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:40,080 Speaker 1: because it's just the teams and the places. No dates 13 00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:46,519 Speaker 1: or times yet, but you could probably extrapolate the days. Yeah, probably, king, Yeah, 14 00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:49,200 Speaker 1: I mean it's gonna be Saturdays, and then the last 15 00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:52,000 Speaker 1: game of Thursday, I mean the first game we've played, 16 00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:53,479 Speaker 1: but the first game we know, the last one is 17 00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:55,920 Speaker 1: definitely on a Thursday. That's always That's always a Thursday. 18 00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:58,520 Speaker 1: The first game. Can We played at Charlotte on a 19 00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:02,680 Speaker 1: Wednesday two years ago. Last year we played a Kansas 20 00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:06,600 Speaker 1: City on a Thursday. Yes, and then we came home 21 00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:08,679 Speaker 1: from the Greenbrier. So we flew to Kansas City and 22 00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:11,200 Speaker 1: then flew home, which I know it was glorious for 23 00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:13,360 Speaker 1: u DP. I know that was a day you were counting. 24 00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:15,440 Speaker 1: I was so happy to get out of West Virginia. 25 00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:18,639 Speaker 1: I've never seen anybody so happy to get to Kansas 26 00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:20,960 Speaker 1: City in my entire life. Kansas City is like the 27 00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:24,240 Speaker 1: big city after being in being in West Virginia for 28 00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:27,200 Speaker 1: that long. Yeah, So from that perspective, that was a 29 00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:29,160 Speaker 1: way you guys were excited to Johnny, don't even lie. 30 00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:31,200 Speaker 1: You were high fiving everybody getting on the plot. The 31 00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:34,200 Speaker 1: first drive, everybody, the first drive was I've been there 32 00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:37,120 Speaker 1: for three and a half weeks the first year. Last year, 33 00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:39,080 Speaker 1: I was like two weeks. I thought it was the 34 00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,200 Speaker 1: perfect time. I thought it was the first. It wasn't 35 00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:43,199 Speaker 1: bad last. But I'm telling you, had I stayed another 36 00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:45,200 Speaker 1: couple of days in West Virginia in the bro house, 37 00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:47,640 Speaker 1: it would have been bad news. I would have I'd 38 00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:52,240 Speaker 1: have come back with like something broken, something torn, something 39 00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:54,200 Speaker 1: something on my body would have died because we would 40 00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:56,880 Speaker 1: have played spike ball. We were playing spike ball or 41 00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:59,600 Speaker 1: football in the backyard. Because kids are so young the 42 00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:03,480 Speaker 1: video are so young, they play spike ball all day long. Johnny. 43 00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:05,560 Speaker 1: We went to dinner one night at a really nice 44 00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:08,760 Speaker 1: steak place at the Greenbrier. We had a whole evening plan. 45 00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:11,040 Speaker 1: We were gonna play, but you were gonna do blackjack. 46 00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:13,200 Speaker 1: I was gonna play craps. All of us were gonna 47 00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:14,960 Speaker 1: have dinner. And you did not even make it to 48 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,520 Speaker 1: the appetizer course. I didn't even get to the main course. 49 00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:20,720 Speaker 1: I just I took off. I had played like we'd 50 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:22,239 Speaker 1: played like two and a a half hours of spike ball, 51 00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:24,160 Speaker 1: after I had run like three and a half four 52 00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:26,800 Speaker 1: miles in West Virginia, which is up in downhills, you 53 00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:29,480 Speaker 1: know that. And so I got done with the run 54 00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:31,679 Speaker 1: and they're like, don't don't change, don't shower, We're gonna 55 00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:34,760 Speaker 1: play spike ball. And then we did, and we played 56 00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:36,600 Speaker 1: for like two and a half hours, and I literally 57 00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:40,200 Speaker 1: was I was so drenched. Yeah, I swear to you, 58 00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:42,720 Speaker 1: I lost ten pounds of just water weight from the 59 00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,560 Speaker 1: time I started my run till then. It was ridiculous. 60 00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:47,520 Speaker 1: And so I just I was out of gas. I 61 00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:49,280 Speaker 1: was at dinner. I was like, I gotta we need 62 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:51,960 Speaker 1: a Kniev for you, and you know, you know that 63 00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:54,320 Speaker 1: was our last dinner at Jerry West Steakhouse, which is 64 00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:56,799 Speaker 1: very disappointing. He was there that, um, I know, and 65 00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:58,840 Speaker 1: I had I had to bail because that was that's 66 00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:00,600 Speaker 1: one of my favorite June I talked about that on 67 00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:02,640 Speaker 1: our in Lap podcast about what we would make for 68 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:04,560 Speaker 1: our what we would have for our master's dinner, and 69 00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:06,680 Speaker 1: we kept coming back to the steakhouse concept and I 70 00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:09,959 Speaker 1: forgot about that. But but yeah, we played spike ball forever. 71 00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:13,839 Speaker 1: So from that perspective, Uh, I don't know that we'll 72 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:17,239 Speaker 1: be playing spike ball in the Houston heat, so yeah, 73 00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,560 Speaker 1: I think that'd be a little bit more dehydrating for you. 74 00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 1: Johnny Heads they play, they play most of the off season. 75 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:28,600 Speaker 1: I think they're pretty They're pretty intense too. I mean 76 00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:32,840 Speaker 1: it's a quiet intensity for for Jay and for Jesse. 77 00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:37,760 Speaker 1: But SuDS, that dude's like me. He's like me. He 78 00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:40,440 Speaker 1: was my teammate, man, it was it was we had fun. 79 00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:44,760 Speaker 1: Don't know. Sudds is Tyler Suttarth. He's one of the 80 00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:48,600 Speaker 1: uh the young videographers for the team. Yeah. Picture the 81 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 1: villain from Karate Kid, the original Karate Kid movie Johnny 82 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:56,600 Speaker 1: john Lawrence. Yeah, Billy that he still needs to be. 83 00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:58,960 Speaker 1: He needs to be Johnny Lawrence for help. But but 84 00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:01,640 Speaker 1: with with all the video talent, because he produces and 85 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,440 Speaker 1: shoots these amazing fifty threes. And I know, we get 86 00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:06,880 Speaker 1: a lot of people on Twitter saying they love what 87 00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:09,560 Speaker 1: the video department's doing. So he does do that. But then, yeah, 88 00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:11,800 Speaker 1: he's got this when it comes to videos. I mean, 89 00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:14,160 Speaker 1: yeah he does. Yeah, he definitely does that. There's no 90 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:16,520 Speaker 1: question he's pretty good basketball player too, So it's it's 91 00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:19,040 Speaker 1: fun hanging those guys, Jay mcdavitt and Jesse Clark to 92 00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:20,920 Speaker 1: two others. Day. I'm actually had We had a good 93 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:22,320 Speaker 1: time at the bro House, but we stayed in another 94 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:24,640 Speaker 1: couple of days. I might have died. No, no Bro 95 00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:26,599 Speaker 1: House this year. Johnny's gonna make it. We're back in 96 00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:29,279 Speaker 1: Houston for training camp. I'm super excited, and that means 97 00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:32,760 Speaker 1: our preseason schedule will be here or departing from here. 98 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:36,600 Speaker 1: So let's get into it. Week one at Green Bay 99 00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:39,680 Speaker 1: and you can probably, yeah, there is nice, I approve 100 00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:42,160 Speaker 1: you can all but count on the Texans probably practicing 101 00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:44,719 Speaker 1: against the Packers a few days leading up to it, 102 00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:48,360 Speaker 1: so I'm guessing that it's almost like Bill O'Brien says, 103 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:52,240 Speaker 1: where can we go where these guys are just cut 104 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:56,760 Speaker 1: off from any distractions? Is there anything going on Appleton, Wisconsin? 105 00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:00,359 Speaker 1: Let's go hold on. I am as excited about this 106 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:04,159 Speaker 1: as I've ever been. My parents like an hour north, 107 00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:06,400 Speaker 1: so I'm gonna get to see them for the first 108 00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:09,240 Speaker 1: time in a couple of years. And it's the Packers. 109 00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:13,760 Speaker 1: So we're gonna play in Lambeau. We're gonna practice on well, 110 00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:16,600 Speaker 1: we're gonna practice at the scene of the crime. My 111 00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:19,960 Speaker 1: last time ever on the Green Bay Packers practice field 112 00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:25,680 Speaker 1: was the state pump passing kick competition, and I was 113 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:29,320 Speaker 1: destined to go to the Nationals. But the reason it 114 00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:31,640 Speaker 1: was on the practice field was because it was ninety 115 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:33,560 Speaker 1: eight two and it was the player's strike, so we 116 00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:37,200 Speaker 1: had to move it to the practice field. And I 117 00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:41,640 Speaker 1: was I was gonna kill you always did punt pass, 118 00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:44,279 Speaker 1: you went netword a punt pass kick, and I punted 119 00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:47,719 Speaker 1: and I killed it. I punted like the best point. 120 00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:49,520 Speaker 1: I I was like, I'm gonna win this thing because 121 00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:51,520 Speaker 1: I knew with my throw, just my punting, my throw 122 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:54,080 Speaker 1: would be enough. And I threw a duck and I 123 00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:57,360 Speaker 1: lost and I just was in tears all the way home. 124 00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:00,560 Speaker 1: It was ridiculous. I was eleven. It was bad. It 125 00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:02,440 Speaker 1: was bad. So I returned to the scene of the crime. 126 00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:05,919 Speaker 1: I feel like they should you do I know, fact history. 127 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:07,520 Speaker 1: I think we need to do that to a race history, 128 00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:11,000 Speaker 1: do pump passing, kick and But just to be back 129 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:14,520 Speaker 1: and we're playing Lambo, We're gonna be up there for 130 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:16,720 Speaker 1: a few days, I would guess because the other road game, 131 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:18,880 Speaker 1: I wouldn't imagine we're going to go practice against them. 132 00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:21,480 Speaker 1: That's a short trip. So let's get through. We shouldrobably 133 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:22,840 Speaker 1: get through. Get through that, then we'll talk about it 134 00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:25,520 Speaker 1: the first week. Drew wants to get through the rest 135 00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:28,800 Speaker 1: of this preseason. What are these idiots gonna say with 136 00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:30,800 Speaker 1: the actual schedule, Well, I feel like it's it's been 137 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:32,600 Speaker 1: out for a few hours, so people sort of know. 138 00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:34,800 Speaker 1: But what they want to hear is Johnny stories about 139 00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:36,920 Speaker 1: his pump pass and kid competition. Well, who those are 140 00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:39,359 Speaker 1: really tuning in for Texans? All access? All right, But 141 00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:43,440 Speaker 1: to Drew's point, Week two home versus Detroit, Week three 142 00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:47,920 Speaker 1: at Dallas, interesting, Week four home versus the La Rams. 143 00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:50,880 Speaker 1: All right, So at Green Bay. I'm interested to see 144 00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:52,960 Speaker 1: the JJ Watt fans. Do you think they come up 145 00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:55,480 Speaker 1: because he wasn't playing the last time? Yes, the Texans 146 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:57,480 Speaker 1: were of Green Bay. You know, it's interesting. I thought 147 00:06:57,520 --> 00:06:59,479 Speaker 1: about that one JJ was hurt. I remember going to 148 00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:01,560 Speaker 1: Green Bay that year and I was like, it would 149 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:03,880 Speaker 1: have been his first time playing there. Well, and it 150 00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:05,400 Speaker 1: would have been his last time more than like we 151 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,400 Speaker 1: playing there, because if he were to play, he would 152 00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:11,240 Speaker 1: have to play in eight years after twenty sixteen to 153 00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:14,760 Speaker 1: play in lambeau Field. That he's gonna be done playing 154 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,640 Speaker 1: eight years after the fact. If he's playing in twenty 155 00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:20,640 Speaker 1: twenty four, I will buy you. I will buy you 156 00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:23,400 Speaker 1: a beach house. I love JJ Watt and I hope 157 00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:26,560 Speaker 1: I canna start picking him out, but that would be years. 158 00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:29,800 Speaker 1: It's one I don't know. One of the saddest times 159 00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:32,080 Speaker 1: I've ever been in the cafeteria here at work was 160 00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:34,760 Speaker 1: a few days after that game. I saw him and 161 00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:36,640 Speaker 1: it wasn't it wasn't lunch time. It was like kind 162 00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:38,480 Speaker 1: of a I was getting ice or something. It was 163 00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:41,080 Speaker 1: like a non busy time. He was one of the 164 00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:42,880 Speaker 1: only people in there, and I was like, oh, man, 165 00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:46,960 Speaker 1: lambeau field was pretty cool, and he's like, yeah, I 166 00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:48,720 Speaker 1: would have liked to have played there. You could tell 167 00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:51,720 Speaker 1: he was won and understandably, so I mean that he 168 00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:54,680 Speaker 1: grew up big time Reggie White, big time Packers fan. 169 00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:57,520 Speaker 1: He's there's gonna be a lot of Watch jerseys there 170 00:07:57,680 --> 00:07:59,440 Speaker 1: when he comes back. It's gonna be all be a 171 00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:05,160 Speaker 1: lot of Red jerseys at Wisconsin, So you know, I 172 00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:06,600 Speaker 1: he'll be back up there a few I know it's 173 00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:09,240 Speaker 1: not the same preseason versus regular season, but it will 174 00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:10,840 Speaker 1: be nice to go up to. I'm glad for him. 175 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:12,760 Speaker 1: You know. It's interesting because one of the things that 176 00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:15,600 Speaker 1: Dean Smith, you know, a North Carolina basketball coach, used 177 00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:17,920 Speaker 1: to do is when he had when he had a 178 00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:21,840 Speaker 1: senior on his team, he would try and schedule a 179 00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:25,400 Speaker 1: road trip against a team as close to that guy's 180 00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:28,200 Speaker 1: home as possible. Like if a guy was from the 181 00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:30,760 Speaker 1: state of Washington, he would schedule a road game that 182 00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:36,480 Speaker 1: his senior year against against University Washington. You know, if 183 00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:38,800 Speaker 1: it guys from California, he might schedule it against UCLA. 184 00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:41,720 Speaker 1: You know, he would try and schedule one so that 185 00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:44,400 Speaker 1: that player would get sort of home game. This is 186 00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:46,280 Speaker 1: sort of like what the Texans are doing. They're sort 187 00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:48,319 Speaker 1: of saying, hey, JJ, I mean they're not going to 188 00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:51,160 Speaker 1: play them for another twenty and another five years. Well, 189 00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:52,839 Speaker 1: i'd love to see JJ playing their five years so 190 00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:54,640 Speaker 1: he could play a regular season game in Lambo. But 191 00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:56,400 Speaker 1: the fact that he gets to go up there and 192 00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:59,920 Speaker 1: play in Lambo in front of those fans, those fans, 193 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,080 Speaker 1: I love him, that's gonna be. That'll be a really 194 00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:06,880 Speaker 1: cool And obviously the practices, um fingers crossed, that does happen. Yeah, 195 00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:09,240 Speaker 1: we do get the practices. My guess would be that's 196 00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:11,839 Speaker 1: the case. But I hope that's the case to be 197 00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:13,600 Speaker 1: able to spend some extra days up in Green Bay, 198 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:17,679 Speaker 1: which and see Aaron Rodgers Green Bay because better than Greenbrier, 199 00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:21,120 Speaker 1: Okay for ud Okay, good to know. I mean, it 200 00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:23,599 Speaker 1: would be exciting to see Aaron Rodgers in practice to 201 00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:26,120 Speaker 1: Shaun Watson, Aaron Rodgers versus j J one because I 202 00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:28,360 Speaker 1: think those joint practices are a lot of fun because 203 00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:30,160 Speaker 1: you actually get to see quite a bit during the 204 00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:32,720 Speaker 1: practice week, even probably more so than in the game 205 00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:34,240 Speaker 1: because they get a lot of work in all right, 206 00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:38,040 Speaker 1: Week two home versus Detroit, and you'll practice against them too. 207 00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:41,480 Speaker 1: You think, oh, I would think, so, well, he's already said, 208 00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:44,880 Speaker 1: you're going to practice. The fans here. Houston Texans fans 209 00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:46,880 Speaker 1: will get to see the Texans practice against the team, 210 00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:49,199 Speaker 1: and it's usually early in training camp because towards the 211 00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:51,160 Speaker 1: end of the end of the camping they pretty much 212 00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:54,320 Speaker 1: have their rosters set. Um Matt Patricia up there obviously, 213 00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:56,800 Speaker 1: Matt Stafford. I like that We've got these big name 214 00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:59,160 Speaker 1: quarterbacks in preseason, so it's gonna be a lot of 215 00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:01,240 Speaker 1: fun to watch this d fence go against them. And 216 00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:04,080 Speaker 1: then Week three at Dallas, a short trip as it 217 00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:06,000 Speaker 1: usually is. Usually it's in Week four. I think we've 218 00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:09,720 Speaker 1: been playing Dallas in Week four every year except for 219 00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:13,000 Speaker 1: twenty fourteen, where we did not play them in the preseason. 220 00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:15,800 Speaker 1: We played them in the regular season. Yeah, so uh, 221 00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:18,080 Speaker 1: you know, I like I like that road trip. I 222 00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:19,520 Speaker 1: like going to Dallas. Yeah. I mean when you play 223 00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:22,000 Speaker 1: him in week four, like last year we played him 224 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:25,560 Speaker 1: in Week four, then we didn't play him during we 225 00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:27,440 Speaker 1: did play him during the season, we played in Week four. 226 00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:30,000 Speaker 1: It's two different teams basically, so you know, it's a 227 00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:32,360 Speaker 1: completely different team when you play a team in Week 228 00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:35,520 Speaker 1: three and they turnaround and play, you know, play them 229 00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:37,160 Speaker 1: in week five like we played was week five, I 230 00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:39,439 Speaker 1: think it was week five, Week five we played them. 231 00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:41,440 Speaker 1: There's some crossover. It's like when we played New England. 232 00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:43,880 Speaker 1: We played New England week two in twenty seventeen turnound 233 00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:45,760 Speaker 1: and played him in week three. That's a little too 234 00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:48,400 Speaker 1: close for comfort. So um, at least not playing Dallas 235 00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:50,160 Speaker 1: like I like seeing them in week three because I 236 00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:52,480 Speaker 1: would imagine we'll see some of the stars. But the 237 00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:55,240 Speaker 1: whole rules the preseason have changed. If you will, I mean, 238 00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:57,760 Speaker 1: they're just not they're not the same. I mean because 239 00:10:57,760 --> 00:10:59,880 Speaker 1: what if you practice at well, I guess I don't 240 00:10:59,920 --> 00:11:02,439 Speaker 1: know if we would practice at Dallas since we're already practicing. 241 00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:04,920 Speaker 1: I don't know if we'd practice twice on the road, well, 242 00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:07,000 Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean my guests, my guesses will 243 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,360 Speaker 1: practice at Dallas or will practice at Green Bay. Either 244 00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:11,800 Speaker 1: way it's good for us, well good for me, because 245 00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:13,400 Speaker 1: if it's at Green Bay, it's I mean nice and cool. 246 00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:15,880 Speaker 1: Will be at you know, be where my family is. 247 00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:20,160 Speaker 1: If it's in Dallas, short trek, you know, facility was 248 00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:23,480 Speaker 1: as when we're there. I want to I'd like to 249 00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:26,200 Speaker 1: practice at both, but um, my guesses will practice at 250 00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:28,640 Speaker 1: one of them. It's my guests. But playing Dallas in 251 00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:30,079 Speaker 1: week three I think would be pretty interesting. But the 252 00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:32,280 Speaker 1: rules of preseason are different. It's not as if you're 253 00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:34,440 Speaker 1: going to see the starter for you know, two quarters 254 00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:36,120 Speaker 1: like he used to. It used to be kind of 255 00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:39,000 Speaker 1: a here's what you do. First game, starters play a 256 00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,199 Speaker 1: couple of series. Second game they played like a quarter 257 00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:43,280 Speaker 1: in some then third game they would play like two 258 00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:44,640 Speaker 1: and a half quarters. In the fourth game, he didn't 259 00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:47,520 Speaker 1: see him. That's all changed, that's completely changed. I mean, 260 00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:49,320 Speaker 1: if a team doesn't want to play its starters at all, 261 00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:51,640 Speaker 1: like last year, the Rams didn't play a starter one time. 262 00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:56,240 Speaker 1: They're big guys, girly golf. Um Donald didn't play one 263 00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:58,800 Speaker 1: time in the preseason, not once when we don't have 264 00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:01,800 Speaker 1: to see him. We saw Sue uh that, Marcus Peters, 265 00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:04,640 Speaker 1: I think Tulip played a little bit. Maybe that was it. 266 00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:06,240 Speaker 1: That were the only starters you saw from the Rams 267 00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:08,960 Speaker 1: and we played them in week three. So the rules 268 00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:11,400 Speaker 1: of the rules have certainly certainly changed, for sure. And 269 00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:12,920 Speaker 1: I think we saw a little bit of Deshaun because 270 00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:14,760 Speaker 1: he was coming off the injury, so they wanted to 271 00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:16,840 Speaker 1: get him some real time game action. So I don't know. 272 00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:19,120 Speaker 1: It'll be interesting to see what happens this preseason and 273 00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:21,160 Speaker 1: then of course Week four home against the La Rams. 274 00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:23,520 Speaker 1: I'm a bit disappointed because the La Rams are hosting 275 00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:26,280 Speaker 1: a preseason game in Hawaii, which I feel like we 276 00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:28,560 Speaker 1: missed the boat on that. I mean, Bill O'Brien would 277 00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:31,959 Speaker 1: have hated that all the way to Hawaii. Oh, you're 278 00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:34,679 Speaker 1: gonna see them keep creeping back into Honolulu. I bet 279 00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:36,360 Speaker 1: you parts of the draft are going to be there 280 00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:38,000 Speaker 1: in the future of it. The Pro Bowl goes back 281 00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:41,000 Speaker 1: there in the future for a year. Something has to 282 00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:43,400 Speaker 1: go back to Hawaii because I think there's there's a 283 00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:45,280 Speaker 1: lot of draw for the players. And not to say 284 00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:47,199 Speaker 1: that there's anything wrong with Orlando for the Pro Bowl, 285 00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:49,880 Speaker 1: but it just seemed like a lot more players were 286 00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:53,120 Speaker 1: headed to Honolulu. Yeah, every years, That all right? So 287 00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:55,640 Speaker 1: that's your preseason schedule. Is there any particular game you 288 00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:58,239 Speaker 1: guys are looking forward to. I know, Johnny, you said Wisconsin, 289 00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:00,559 Speaker 1: going up to Wisconsin. I mean, ilex seeing the NFC 290 00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:02,640 Speaker 1: teams just because we don't get to see them every year, 291 00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:05,280 Speaker 1: So I like seeing I like seeing the NFC teams 292 00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:07,439 Speaker 1: and we've got four of them, so, um, you know, 293 00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:10,600 Speaker 1: being a Lambo is great. I mean, I just I 294 00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:12,200 Speaker 1: love Lambo. I always have. I mean I was a 295 00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:14,360 Speaker 1: little kid going to going to games in Green Bay, 296 00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:16,959 Speaker 1: kind of like JJ was many many years ago. But 297 00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:19,400 Speaker 1: seeing the NFC teams to me, I like, and I 298 00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:22,480 Speaker 1: like the fact that, uh, you know, we'll get to 299 00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:24,280 Speaker 1: see Dallas in week three, so maybe we'll see Dack 300 00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:26,199 Speaker 1: a little bit. I would imagine we're not going to 301 00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:27,880 Speaker 1: see them too much. I would imagine we won't see 302 00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:31,760 Speaker 1: Zeke too much. But anytime, look, anytime Houston and Dallas 303 00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:34,679 Speaker 1: get together. And I as much as I love the 304 00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:37,400 Speaker 1: atmosphere in our game last year, I like going up 305 00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:40,000 Speaker 1: to Jerry World for games. I like I like that building. 306 00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:43,040 Speaker 1: I like being up there age. I mean that the 307 00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:45,720 Speaker 1: video board is tremendous, just being above you. I mean, 308 00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:48,480 Speaker 1: I just I like being in in Arlington for games. 309 00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:52,480 Speaker 1: I've never, I have never not liked going to Dallas 310 00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:54,360 Speaker 1: for a game against the Cowboys. Drew and I have 311 00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:56,200 Speaker 1: this thing that we do whenever we get to a 312 00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:59,480 Speaker 1: new press box, we give a critique of the press box, 313 00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:01,200 Speaker 1: sort of like new review. If you are we're like, 314 00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:04,520 Speaker 1: oh goodesk space chairs are at at a nice height. 315 00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:07,000 Speaker 1: Could have used some storage for my back. One of 316 00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:10,440 Speaker 1: those HGTV shows where we basically have a breakdown, Like, 317 00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:14,160 Speaker 1: I like the spaciousness the line video. We should the 318 00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:15,640 Speaker 1: view of the view could be a little bit better. 319 00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:18,000 Speaker 1: It's a slight, it's slightly obstructed because of the window 320 00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:19,920 Speaker 1: panes in front of us. But other than that, yeah, 321 00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:22,640 Speaker 1: we we we do. We we actually should because it's 322 00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:24,360 Speaker 1: very technical and I didn't even notice that we did 323 00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:26,240 Speaker 1: that until Drew pointed out last year and I was like, wow, 324 00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:28,840 Speaker 1: we are such press box nerds. All right, we're gonna 325 00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:31,360 Speaker 1: take a break. Speaking of nerds, Drew's gut his mock 326 00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:34,680 Speaker 1: draft survey. I didn't know else how else to transition that. 327 00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:38,480 Speaker 1: That's kind of our mock drafts survey. And maybe Johnny 328 00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:40,240 Speaker 1: might be doing something like this too. I think he's 329 00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:42,760 Speaker 1: gonna dabble in these arts. I'm gonna find out and 330 00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:44,400 Speaker 1: then maybe not. I want to do this survey. I'll 331 00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:46,000 Speaker 1: just do my own mock draft so Drew can add 332 00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:48,040 Speaker 1: it to the list. Oh okay, all right, that's all 333 00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:50,480 Speaker 1: coming up on Texans All Access. Also, we'll go around 334 00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:52,360 Speaker 1: the league, and hey, what do you expect next week 335 00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:54,520 Speaker 1: when the players arrived.

Welcome back to Texans All Access inside the 337 00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:01,360 Speaker 1: Henday Texans Radio stud You Drew Dorty, John Harris, and 338 00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:05,800 Speaker 1: myself dpcdo We're two weeks away from the twenty nineteen 339 00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:08,920 Speaker 1: NFL Draft in Nashville. Drew usually go to the draft. 340 00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:11,760 Speaker 1: You're going this year Nashville. Yes, it's gonna be fun. 341 00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:14,480 Speaker 1: Oh and you'll see DeAndre Hopkins there because he's actually 342 00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:19,440 Speaker 1: announcing these second round picks, right. Yeah. Andre Johnson announced 343 00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:22,440 Speaker 1: the second rounder a couple of years ago, Brian Cushing 344 00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:24,360 Speaker 1: did the third rounder. I believe it was, so yeah, 345 00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:27,240 Speaker 1: pretty pretty fun turn of events. I can't wait. Yeah, 346 00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:29,800 Speaker 1: it's the hundredth anniversary of the NFL, so they're they're 347 00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:34,160 Speaker 1: involving more current players as well as former Breads legends 348 00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:36,080 Speaker 1: they call them in the NFL Draft. So they'll be 349 00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:39,240 Speaker 1: there actually all week in community events and mentoring the 350 00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:40,680 Speaker 1: younger players. I think that'll be a lot of fun 351 00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:42,840 Speaker 1: to see, and I'm curious to see how Nashville puts 352 00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:45,600 Speaker 1: on a draft. I feel like they'll do it really well. 353 00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:48,120 Speaker 1: Everything's pretty centrally located. Yeah, I bet they'll do a 354 00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:50,400 Speaker 1: great job. It's it's right there downtown, right across the room. 355 00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:52,320 Speaker 1: You can see that, you can see the stadium. It'll 356 00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:55,560 Speaker 1: be fun from from the what is that Broadway? Broadway 357 00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:59,240 Speaker 1: streets in Nashville. All right? With the draft coming up, 358 00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:01,520 Speaker 1: I know, Drew, you put out a mock draft survey, 359 00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:04,000 Speaker 1: which is sort of a collection of what everyone is 360 00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:06,160 Speaker 1: saying who the Texans are going to take? And I 361 00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:09,720 Speaker 1: know Johnny maybe adding to that. Yeah, wait, you're gonna 362 00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:12,200 Speaker 1: start doing a mock draft, so that'll be Yeah, this 363 00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:15,640 Speaker 1: is your first one point out over ever. Yeah, and 364 00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:18,400 Speaker 1: I mean for us. You've done it for other outlets. Yeah, 365 00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:20,240 Speaker 1: I don't know, there's something about it. I didn't do 366 00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:21,200 Speaker 1: it for a long time. I had done it for 367 00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:23,880 Speaker 1: other outlets. I wasn't totally comfortable doing it. And then 368 00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:25,520 Speaker 1: the other day I woke up and I just went, 369 00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:29,600 Speaker 1: wait a second, Mark vandermer has been doing vandermock for years. 370 00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:32,040 Speaker 1: Why couldn't I do a mock draft. So I just 371 00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:34,200 Speaker 1: at that point decided I was gonna do mock draft. 372 00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:35,640 Speaker 1: So I'll be working on it. And the thing is 373 00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:38,640 Speaker 1: about you know people people listen and hear that about 374 00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:40,760 Speaker 1: mock drafts and they go all these people just throw 375 00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:43,800 Speaker 1: it together, and it's like if you really do it right, Like, 376 00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:45,560 Speaker 1: it takes me more time to do a mock draft 377 00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:48,120 Speaker 1: than anything. It'll take me eight to ten hours because 378 00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:50,400 Speaker 1: I'll I'll look back at some of my notes and 379 00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:53,040 Speaker 1: teams that I've watched, I'll look back at some of 380 00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:55,760 Speaker 1: the players, and then I'll look at rosters. I'll look 381 00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:58,080 Speaker 1: at contracts, like okay, is this guy. So there's a 382 00:16:58,080 --> 00:16:59,480 Speaker 1: lot of things that really go into it. So it 383 00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:01,800 Speaker 1: takes a wow to put it together. But I'm gonna 384 00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:03,160 Speaker 1: crank through and hopefully by the end of this week 385 00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:05,719 Speaker 1: beginning of next have my mock draft which I can 386 00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:08,119 Speaker 1: add to it and look, I think a lot of 387 00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:12,639 Speaker 1: the names that that we would we would think and 388 00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:14,800 Speaker 1: have heard in that mock draft survey. I think there's 389 00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:16,920 Speaker 1: a possibility for some of those some of those names 390 00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:19,280 Speaker 1: being there. But you know, draft night gets gets crazy. 391 00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:22,040 Speaker 1: Also in a couple of drafted guys go ahead of 392 00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:23,880 Speaker 1: you and you're like, wait a second, these other couple 393 00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:25,200 Speaker 1: of guys are gonna be down there. I would have 394 00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:27,359 Speaker 1: put him on a mock draft, if I had known 395 00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:29,880 Speaker 1: that was going to be the case. So being at 396 00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:32,800 Speaker 1: twenty three, it's kind of a it's not surprising that 397 00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:34,399 Speaker 1: it's all over the place. I think one thing to 398 00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:37,760 Speaker 1: emphasize though, and we've talked about this, I know the 399 00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:40,399 Speaker 1: three of us have, whether you know on on my 400 00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:43,440 Speaker 1: shows talking about the draft, is I know that a 401 00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:44,960 Speaker 1: lot of people have put offensive alignment. I know a 402 00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:46,520 Speaker 1: lot of people have said, you know, hey, you gotta 403 00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:48,320 Speaker 1: get an offensive alignment. But a lot of people are saying, oh, 404 00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:49,920 Speaker 1: you gotta get an offensi alignment the first round. You 405 00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:51,280 Speaker 1: gotta get one in the first round, or it's a 406 00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:53,520 Speaker 1: it's a button like no, no, no, no no, wait a second. 407 00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:57,800 Speaker 1: The team doesn't have just a hole. It's got a 408 00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:00,439 Speaker 1: couple of places where you've got to be able to 409 00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:04,080 Speaker 1: find capable players. And we talked about cornerback, we talked 410 00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:08,440 Speaker 1: about tackle. Those are the two though, right two. Yeah, 411 00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:11,920 Speaker 1: I'd be surprised if it's something, but it's the first 412 00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:15,800 Speaker 1: three from one of the Yeah, yeah, absolutely, But that's 413 00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:19,680 Speaker 1: the thing. You in the first round, obviously, you got 414 00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:21,679 Speaker 1: to find a player. There's no question when you have 415 00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:23,880 Speaker 1: a financial commitment in the first round, just the first round, 416 00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:25,680 Speaker 1: and that guy's got to hit. So you've got to 417 00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:29,679 Speaker 1: find a player. And this is the point, if you know, 418 00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:31,840 Speaker 1: a few years ago when they when they took Dwayne Brown, 419 00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:33,240 Speaker 1: one of my one of my issues with it was 420 00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:36,560 Speaker 1: you drafted for need and at that point you drafted 421 00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:38,200 Speaker 1: a guy that I I felt like at the time 422 00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:40,600 Speaker 1: Dwayne was not he was not of a caliber or 423 00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:41,960 Speaker 1: some of the other guys that were taking the first round. 424 00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:43,919 Speaker 1: And obviously we talked about that. I was wrong about it, 425 00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:48,200 Speaker 1: but they they didn't draft the best available player at 426 00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:50,720 Speaker 1: a position of need, at least I didn't think. So 427 00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:52,600 Speaker 1: that I think is what they've got to do at 428 00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:54,119 Speaker 1: twenty three, and I think the Texas will do that 429 00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:57,080 Speaker 1: because I think finding the best position or the best 430 00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:59,600 Speaker 1: player available at a position of need, We'll take you 431 00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:04,040 Speaker 1: to either tackle or corner. And I don't think that 432 00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:08,119 Speaker 1: you'll have a run on both positions before twenty three. 433 00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:09,919 Speaker 1: And what I mean by that is there will be 434 00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:12,679 Speaker 1: a tackle that you really like, or there will be 435 00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:16,000 Speaker 1: a corner that you really still sitting there at twenty three. 436 00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:19,200 Speaker 1: You're not locked into taking the fifth tackle just because 437 00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:21,040 Speaker 1: you have to take a tackle in the first round. 438 00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:22,960 Speaker 1: I really get tired of hearing that. But John, you 439 00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:25,560 Speaker 1: got to improve the offensive line, I understand. But if 440 00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:29,000 Speaker 1: the guys that you have first round grades on are gone, 441 00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:31,879 Speaker 1: you're gonna go draft a guy at twenty three that 442 00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:34,639 Speaker 1: you have a second round grade on just because you 443 00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:37,560 Speaker 1: have to have one the Texans have. They don't need 444 00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:39,560 Speaker 1: to get in that business. The teams that do that 445 00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:41,040 Speaker 1: are the ones that end up getting in a lot 446 00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:42,920 Speaker 1: of trouble down the road. So you got to find 447 00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:46,280 Speaker 1: the best player available at a position where you need it. 448 00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:48,720 Speaker 1: And I think it's tackle or corner. But if the 449 00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:50,920 Speaker 1: best corner on the board is still on the board 450 00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:53,399 Speaker 1: at twenty three, you still need help there. Go do that, 451 00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:55,120 Speaker 1: and go get a couple of tackles in fifty four 452 00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:57,560 Speaker 1: fifty five. I wouldn't have any problem with them taking 453 00:19:57,600 --> 00:19:59,359 Speaker 1: a corner in the first round, taking two tackles at 454 00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:01,640 Speaker 1: fifty four, fuck, no problem, or too often the line 455 00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:03,480 Speaker 1: at fifty fourth. I don't think anybody would have a problem. 456 00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:05,280 Speaker 1: No problem with that, all right? With that? Get some, 457 00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:07,600 Speaker 1: you'll get some. That's true. There's always there's always gonna 458 00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:09,640 Speaker 1: be people comes there. There were people boeing JJ one. 459 00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:12,199 Speaker 1: That was what he just described. There's the there's a 460 00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:15,000 Speaker 1: thought out there by some that you have to take 461 00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:16,879 Speaker 1: this offensive. That's what he's talking about, and that's what 462 00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:19,080 Speaker 1: that's who would get mad? Yeah, if you take two, 463 00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:21,040 Speaker 1: if you take two in the second or you don't 464 00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:22,639 Speaker 1: take one in the first, and back to back, and 465 00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:25,520 Speaker 1: there are people who are its first round or bus right, 466 00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:27,480 Speaker 1: and they will be furious. I mean, I'm like that. 467 00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:30,160 Speaker 1: I'm very like, I'm very like zero to one hundred 468 00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:32,320 Speaker 1: all the time. But even I would be I would 469 00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:34,240 Speaker 1: be okay with if there was a position that I 470 00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:36,280 Speaker 1: really wanted, you didn't address it in the first, but 471 00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:39,119 Speaker 1: then you double down and addressed it in the second 472 00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:42,520 Speaker 1: like a right, I'm not, but I mean you really 473 00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:44,719 Speaker 1: address it. I feel like you fail in the draft 474 00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:48,080 Speaker 1: where you don't try and match up a player's value 475 00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:50,840 Speaker 1: as your board sees it, as your staff sees it, 476 00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:54,439 Speaker 1: and you then say, Okay, well we've got to go 477 00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:58,160 Speaker 1: get this guy because we have to go get him 478 00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:00,800 Speaker 1: now because well there's a run off tackles or there's 479 00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:02,520 Speaker 1: a run on corners, or whatever the case might be. 480 00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:06,000 Speaker 1: And I don't expect the Texas to trade up from 481 00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:07,719 Speaker 1: twenty three. I just don't expect them to do that. 482 00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:09,800 Speaker 1: So I think they're in a good spot from that 483 00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:12,560 Speaker 1: perspective because I don't think there will be a run 484 00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:15,520 Speaker 1: on either position. I think they're going to see a 485 00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:18,040 Speaker 1: run on a lot of defensive lineman. You're going to 486 00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:20,480 Speaker 1: see the quarterbacks. I think there's gonna be there gonna 487 00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:24,280 Speaker 1: be some thought on the quarterbacks going ahead. So hopefully 488 00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:27,719 Speaker 1: that just pushes guys down, and all we need for 489 00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:30,080 Speaker 1: one or two teams that you think might be looking 490 00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:33,400 Speaker 1: at tackle to pass because whole wait a second, Minnesota 491 00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:35,239 Speaker 1: Vikings are saying, hey, we need to tackle, we need 492 00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:38,199 Speaker 1: to tackle badly, but you know what, this defensive lineman's 493 00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:40,679 Speaker 1: on the board and we would like to have one, 494 00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:42,480 Speaker 1: or there's a corner on the board the Vikings want 495 00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:44,560 Speaker 1: because they're not happy with Xavier Rhoads and they'll like 496 00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:46,679 Speaker 1: Trey Waynes on the other side, and they decide to 497 00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:48,320 Speaker 1: get a corner. So that's all you need is just 498 00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:50,440 Speaker 1: one or two teams to pass on a tackle because 499 00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:53,000 Speaker 1: you know they all won't need them. So at that point, 500 00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:54,119 Speaker 1: if you can just get one or two and then 501 00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:55,760 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, man you get everything you want 502 00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:57,320 Speaker 1: at that point. But I don't think there will be 503 00:21:57,320 --> 00:22:00,680 Speaker 1: a run of both positions. So to me, whichever is 504 00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:03,200 Speaker 1: the best player available according to them at twenty three 505 00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:05,679 Speaker 1: at one of those positions I think fit. Now if 506 00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:07,360 Speaker 1: they go and draft the tight end at twenty three, 507 00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:11,639 Speaker 1: then it's like they went and got the best player available. 508 00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:15,000 Speaker 1: But it's it's a shock because the drafted two tight 509 00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:17,280 Speaker 1: ends last year and there happened mocks with with with 510 00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:19,640 Speaker 1: the tight ends taken and all right, So, speaking of which, 511 00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:21,919 Speaker 1: we've got the latest mock draft out drew. It seems 512 00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:25,560 Speaker 1: like the consensus in the first round among people across 513 00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:30,040 Speaker 1: the nation media types it is still offensive linement ches. Yeah, 514 00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:33,320 Speaker 1: forty nine mock drafts we surveyed, and thirty nine of 515 00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:36,159 Speaker 1: them have the Texans taking an offensive lineman. Fourteen of 516 00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:38,960 Speaker 1: them have them taken Andre Dillard from Washington State. So 517 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:41,359 Speaker 1: this is the most he's been mocked to the Texans 518 00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:45,160 Speaker 1: at any point, but big number there. But it's it's 519 00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:47,760 Speaker 1: just kind of an interesting exercise doing this and compiling 520 00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:50,359 Speaker 1: them each week because you see sort of what the 521 00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:53,920 Speaker 1: national and some of the local UH folks think about 522 00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:55,399 Speaker 1: what the Texans are going to do in the draft, 523 00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:57,600 Speaker 1: and then you compare it with what you hear in 524 00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:01,199 Speaker 1: the building and stuff like that, and it's really fascinating. 525 00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:04,760 Speaker 1: I can't wait. I can't wait because the Texans are 526 00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:07,320 Speaker 1: in a prime spot with three picks in the top 527 00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:09,800 Speaker 1: fifty five. They're gonna I think they're I think they're 528 00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:13,200 Speaker 1: gonna add more picks. I think it's gonna be a 529 00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:16,000 Speaker 1: fun weekend and they're gonna get a lot better because 530 00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:18,400 Speaker 1: Brian Gain and this this staff, what they did last 531 00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:20,560 Speaker 1: year without a first, without a second, and what they 532 00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:22,280 Speaker 1: were able to do. I can't wait to see what 533 00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:24,399 Speaker 1: they do when they have AMMO like they have. Now. Well, 534 00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:26,600 Speaker 1: here's another one Drew that I in fact, I saw 535 00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:29,959 Speaker 1: this today and I was like, because there's a lot 536 00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:31,560 Speaker 1: of talk about and I've talked to Mark about this, 537 00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:33,720 Speaker 1: I said, you know, we should move our draft party 538 00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:36,680 Speaker 1: to Friday. And I'm not talking about just this year. 539 00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:39,600 Speaker 1: We should do it all years around two and run 540 00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:44,600 Speaker 1: the day of Yeah, because we always will take a 541 00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:47,760 Speaker 1: pick in a second and third round always. But you're 542 00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:50,359 Speaker 1: sitting there at twenty three if there does happen to 543 00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:52,520 Speaker 1: be a run on corners and tackles at that point, 544 00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:54,960 Speaker 1: and you're going, man, are we gonna draft a guy 545 00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:57,120 Speaker 1: that we think ultimately could be a guard. Do we 546 00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:59,320 Speaker 1: really have a higher grade on this player? And what 547 00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:02,119 Speaker 1: if they trade out of the first round. And I 548 00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:04,360 Speaker 1: saw something today said, well, why would the Texans want 549 00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:06,000 Speaker 1: to trade out? I mean, they've got four picks in 550 00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:08,200 Speaker 1: the top eighty six. Yeah, but why wouldn't you want 551 00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:11,480 Speaker 1: five picks in the top eighty six. Why wouldn't you 552 00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:13,520 Speaker 1: want six picks in the top hundred. You don't have 553 00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:16,040 Speaker 1: a fourth rounder in the first next year. Yeah, So 554 00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:20,640 Speaker 1: from that perspective, you can always you can always take 555 00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:23,280 Speaker 1: more picks. I mean, the more at match you get, 556 00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:26,320 Speaker 1: if you're a good hitter, you're gonna have an opportunity 557 00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:29,080 Speaker 1: to go out there and hit more than singles and doubles. 558 00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:31,400 Speaker 1: If you get more opportunities, And think about last year 559 00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:34,679 Speaker 1: how they drafted with out of first or second rounder. 560 00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:36,560 Speaker 1: When Brian Gaine was given some at bats, he did 561 00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:38,840 Speaker 1: a pretty good job with it. So I'm like, hey, look, 562 00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:43,080 Speaker 1: if we get more opportunities by trading down, maybe people 563 00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:46,000 Speaker 1: at the draft party upset, But maybe maybe you only 564 00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:48,000 Speaker 1: trade down five spots. Maybe there's a team that really 565 00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:50,000 Speaker 1: has your eye on somebody that's there at twenty three. 566 00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:52,879 Speaker 1: Maybe you only trade out five spots, but you at 567 00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:54,639 Speaker 1: least pick up other picks. I'm with you. I do 568 00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:56,679 Speaker 1: think there's gonna be a trade down opportunity where they 569 00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:58,680 Speaker 1: do pick up more picks. And I wouldn't I wouldn't 570 00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:01,040 Speaker 1: be surprised that they try and get into additional fourth rounder. 571 00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:03,560 Speaker 1: Um the fourth round, they get pretty marriages, Thomas, so 572 00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:05,240 Speaker 1: they try and get that fourth rounder back in some way, 573 00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:08,040 Speaker 1: shape or form, just to have that, you know, complete 574 00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:10,240 Speaker 1: one through seventh draft. I liked Andre Dillard. I remember 575 00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:12,560 Speaker 1: seeing him at the combine. If that's who the Texans 576 00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:15,480 Speaker 1: that up taking, I really thought that after the combine 577 00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:18,200 Speaker 1: he was going to be Everyone was saying top fifteen picks. 578 00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:20,680 Speaker 1: So if he's sitting around at twenty three and people 579 00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:23,560 Speaker 1: are right, I'm not going to complain about that. And 580 00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:25,359 Speaker 1: he gained a lot of weight when he was at 581 00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:27,440 Speaker 1: Washington City. I remember him talking about how he would 582 00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:29,480 Speaker 1: get up in the middle of the night, eat a lot, 583 00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:31,639 Speaker 1: and then he would set an alarm for two in 584 00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:34,320 Speaker 1: the morning, eat again or drink a shake, and then 585 00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:36,800 Speaker 1: go back to sleep. Bad for your sleep habits, so no, 586 00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:40,120 Speaker 1: but he h he started at two hundred and forty 587 00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:42,919 Speaker 1: pounds when he arrived at Washington State and then was 588 00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:45,240 Speaker 1: like close to three hundred or a little over three hundred. 589 00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:47,400 Speaker 1: I'm not really sure what he what he was at 590 00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:50,119 Speaker 1: towards the end of that, but it clearly worked for him. 591 00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:52,760 Speaker 1: So all right, So that's the mock draft survey. It's 592 00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:55,840 Speaker 1: up on Houston Texans dot com. You'll probably do one more, probably, right, well, yeah, 593 00:25:57,200 --> 00:26:01,600 Speaker 1: maybe even two more, all right, and then Johnny's Johnny's microcraft. 594 00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:03,160 Speaker 1: I'm working on it, so I've got to make sure 595 00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:04,520 Speaker 1: that I get that at the end of this week 596 00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:06,640 Speaker 1: or being in the beginning of next all Right, We're 597 00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:08,600 Speaker 1: gonna go around the league a little bit of gossip 598 00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:11,800 Speaker 1: at who's traveling aware in these pre draft days, plus 599 00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:14,040 Speaker 1: a surprising injury that took place in the NFL last 600 00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:15,879 Speaker 1: year that a lot of people don't know about. And 601 00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:18,520 Speaker 1: then also players are back in the building on Monday. 602 00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:20,679 Speaker 1: What does John Harris expect to see or what does 603 00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:22,520 Speaker 1: he hope to see? That's all coming up in one 604 00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:27,199 Speaker 1: final segment of Texans All Access.

All right, Johnny, there's some 613 00:26:55,040 --> 00:27:00,560 Speaker 1: news around the league with all these draft prospects traveling around. 614 00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:01,840 Speaker 1: I don't know if this is a surprise not. You 615 00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:04,880 Speaker 1: and I have discussed it at length. Kyler Murray, according 616 00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:08,679 Speaker 1: to reports in Arizona visiting the Cardinals today. He has 617 00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:11,600 Speaker 1: the same agent obviously as head coach Cliff Kingsbury. It's 618 00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:14,480 Speaker 1: a topic for Arizona with a number one overall pick. 619 00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:17,800 Speaker 1: Can we read something into this or no? No, not really. 620 00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:21,240 Speaker 1: I think everybody thought he was gonna go to Arizona 621 00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:23,280 Speaker 1: to visit at some point, and this is that. This 622 00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:26,880 Speaker 1: is that time. So I don't know if there's anything, uh, 623 00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:29,720 Speaker 1: you know, some of the it's interesting because some of 624 00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:32,600 Speaker 1: the visits you go, that guy isn't gonna get to 625 00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:34,840 Speaker 1: number twenty five, Like I saw somebody today and I 626 00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:37,200 Speaker 1: can't remember who it was I was visiting with the Eagles, 627 00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:41,080 Speaker 1: and oh at Oliver, it might have been Ed. I 628 00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:43,000 Speaker 1: think it might have been Ed was visiting with the Eagles. 629 00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:46,120 Speaker 1: I believe like Head's not getting the twenty five, so 630 00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:48,880 Speaker 1: you sometimes wondered, like, why these guys taking a visit. 631 00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:51,440 Speaker 1: So sometimes I think a little bit much is made 632 00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:54,399 Speaker 1: of the visits to a degree. But with Kyler with 633 00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:57,720 Speaker 1: being a number one pick, I mean, we knew he 634 00:27:57,760 --> 00:28:01,600 Speaker 1: was gonna take a visit to Arizona. He met with 635 00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:04,159 Speaker 1: the Raiders at some point. I think he met with 636 00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:07,960 Speaker 1: the Raiders actually in his home in Allen, just in 637 00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:11,239 Speaker 1: the metroplex. So it's not surprising in some sense that 638 00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:13,959 Speaker 1: they would like him, that they're interested in him, and 639 00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:15,920 Speaker 1: they probably want to sit out with him and get 640 00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:19,679 Speaker 1: a little bit deeper involved into into into football, just 641 00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:21,359 Speaker 1: going up on the white board, just talking about some 642 00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:23,840 Speaker 1: of the things that they were doing in Oklahoma. And look, 643 00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:26,119 Speaker 1: that's the other aspect too, some of the some of 644 00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:28,480 Speaker 1: the offensive stuff that you want to learn. I wouldn't 645 00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:31,240 Speaker 1: be surprised if coaches throughout the league are like, hey, 646 00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:33,520 Speaker 1: invite that kid from Oklahoma so we can learn their offense. 647 00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:37,240 Speaker 1: You know something I was gonna say, It goes both ways, 648 00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:38,600 Speaker 1: Like the coaches want to get to know the player 649 00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:41,360 Speaker 1: because you never know what tough, fluid coaching is these days. 650 00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:43,200 Speaker 1: No doubt a coach could be a head coach somewhere 651 00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:45,720 Speaker 1: else next year at Oliver could be there, no doubt. 652 00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:47,480 Speaker 1: And then also same thing with the players. I would 653 00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:49,400 Speaker 1: think like much much like a job interview. And I 654 00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:51,360 Speaker 1: don't know if players treat this this way, but I'm 655 00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:53,719 Speaker 1: just wondering if they think, Okay, I'll just take as 656 00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:56,280 Speaker 1: many visits as I can, and you know, you just 657 00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:58,000 Speaker 1: you just put those feelers out there. You never know 658 00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:00,000 Speaker 1: what's gonna happen on draft day, who's going to trade up? 659 00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:01,960 Speaker 1: Were down? And then also you just get more practice 660 00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:04,720 Speaker 1: at understanding what these coaches are expecting of you in 661 00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:08,120 Speaker 1: in these interview situations. Now you're right about that this 662 00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:10,120 Speaker 1: this league is so mobile. You have no idea who 663 00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:13,200 Speaker 1: you're gonna run into down the road. And at that point, 664 00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:16,160 Speaker 1: if you're a coach, I think, which which we found 665 00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:18,360 Speaker 1: out reading the article by tied Down and Bleacher Report, 666 00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:21,160 Speaker 1: you never know when it comes back to you. So 667 00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:24,120 Speaker 1: don't go running your mouth about what you think is 668 00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:26,040 Speaker 1: a better player than the other one, because that other 669 00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:27,560 Speaker 1: one might be a Hall of Fame player for you 670 00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:30,320 Speaker 1: down the road, and that could create hard feelings, as 671 00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:33,800 Speaker 1: it potentially did in Green Bay with Mike McCarthy and 672 00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:37,200 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. So uh, don't clink, Cliff Kingsbury start talking 673 00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:39,280 Speaker 1: about Kyler Murray is better than anybody else in this draft, 674 00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:41,120 Speaker 1: because you might end up coaching Drew locked down the road. 675 00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:42,640 Speaker 1: Just say, well, you know he said when he was 676 00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:44,760 Speaker 1: asked about him at Texas Tech. He said it, and 677 00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:47,880 Speaker 1: then you know here here he is. Yeah, in the NFL. Yeah, 678 00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:50,720 Speaker 1: nobody thought in Kingsbury would be coaching the NFL. Well 679 00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:53,760 Speaker 1: did they? I mean, I get fired at Texas Tech. 680 00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:57,000 Speaker 1: I don't think anybody really thought this would actually be something. 681 00:29:57,240 --> 00:29:58,520 Speaker 1: And I'm sure he didn't even think that it was 682 00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:00,200 Speaker 1: going to be a possibility on the road either. No, 683 00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:04,440 Speaker 1: but it's not surprising. I would be to show you 684 00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:07,680 Speaker 1: how fluid it is. YEA. Look, in two thousand and five, 685 00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:10,480 Speaker 1: everybody thought the Texans were gonna take Reggie Bush. I 686 00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:11,880 Speaker 1: mean it was a fatal company, and then all of 687 00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:14,000 Speaker 1: a sudden the night before the draft, I think Burman 688 00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:16,560 Speaker 1: breaks the news that Nope, it's gonna be Mario Williams, 689 00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:18,800 Speaker 1: and he signed a contract and things were a little 690 00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:21,480 Speaker 1: different than before the CBA. But Mario signed a contract, 691 00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:23,040 Speaker 1: He's gonna be done one pick. So it was it 692 00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:26,440 Speaker 1: was like whoa. It was a little shocking. But the 693 00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:28,800 Speaker 1: whole Josh Rosen thing, I think has to get figured out. 694 00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:31,640 Speaker 1: What where he's gonna go, what they're gonna do with him, 695 00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:33,080 Speaker 1: what they're gonna get for him in a trade. I 696 00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:35,320 Speaker 1: would imagine they're gonna trade him. I don't know keeping 697 00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:38,600 Speaker 1: Rosen and Murray. It's happened before. I mean, we saw 698 00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:42,080 Speaker 1: twenty twelve Washington Redskins team that drafted Robert Griven the 699 00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:44,040 Speaker 1: third and second pick overall, and then took Kirk Cousins 700 00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:45,920 Speaker 1: in the fourth, and it turned out that Cousins end 701 00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:47,400 Speaker 1: up being a guy because of the injuries that RG 702 00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:50,320 Speaker 1: three had suffered. So I don't know what they'll end 703 00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:52,360 Speaker 1: up doing with it. I think they probably need to 704 00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:54,280 Speaker 1: have Josh out of the building to let Kyler come 705 00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:55,920 Speaker 1: in and kind of take over him be the guy. 706 00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:58,560 Speaker 1: But I would be Molly's surprised. But then again, the 707 00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:02,880 Speaker 1: draft over the years is Tommy DP nothing nothing, nothing 708 00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:05,600 Speaker 1: shocks and surprises I give a wow and a whoa. 709 00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:08,640 Speaker 1: But I'm never surprised by anything. I think. I think 710 00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:11,120 Speaker 1: a lot of it is you put out information or 711 00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:14,440 Speaker 1: these things come out because there are people that want 712 00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:17,560 Speaker 1: this information out. So maybe if like say, for in 713 00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:21,880 Speaker 1: this instance, and I'm just totally just spitballing here, Arizona 714 00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:25,120 Speaker 1: wants this news out that uh, Kyler Murray's there for 715 00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:28,200 Speaker 1: a visit because they want everyone to know that, hey, 716 00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:31,040 Speaker 1: Josh Rosen is available for trade, and like, let's get there. 717 00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:33,960 Speaker 1: Let's make that known so people start giving us their 718 00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:36,320 Speaker 1: best offer. So that's the way of publicizing that without 719 00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:39,719 Speaker 1: directly publicizing it. I mean, when when the Texans had 720 00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:41,200 Speaker 1: the number one overall pick, we saw a number of 721 00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:43,120 Speaker 1: guys in this building. Oh yeah, I mean we saw 722 00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:45,560 Speaker 1: I remember seeing Johnny Menzel and Jeevan Clowney and the 723 00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:48,240 Speaker 1: cafeteria together. It's kyl there's no way we're gonna get both. 724 00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:50,560 Speaker 1: There was no way. But I think, you know it's 725 00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:54,400 Speaker 1: it's partly due diligence and partly sometimes you just you know, 726 00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:57,120 Speaker 1: it's it's a lot of smoke screens. It's more smoke 727 00:31:57,160 --> 00:32:01,280 Speaker 1: screens than actual news. Well, you know it, sometimes you 728 00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:04,280 Speaker 1: never know. I mean, if you think about it, you 729 00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:08,160 Speaker 1: only get eight well, I mean rounds went through seven, 730 00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:09,480 Speaker 1: you get seven picks. A lot of times you have 731 00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:11,200 Speaker 1: more than that because you may trade. Sometimes you have 732 00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:14,240 Speaker 1: less than that. But last year the Texans had eight picks. 733 00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:18,400 Speaker 1: They had eight players that they were bringing to this roster. 734 00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:22,000 Speaker 1: But of the thousands of college football players out there, 735 00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:24,480 Speaker 1: we only get eight of them. So there have probably 736 00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:26,120 Speaker 1: been a lot of them over the years that we 737 00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:29,520 Speaker 1: have offered visits to that have come on a visit, 738 00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:32,680 Speaker 1: that have enjoyed the visit. We have enjoyed the visit 739 00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:36,240 Speaker 1: with them, We've had a great time with them, and 740 00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:38,520 Speaker 1: they get taken before we get the opportunity to take them, 741 00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:41,520 Speaker 1: you know. So there are also those that get brought 742 00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:46,680 Speaker 1: here and look, we know we're not drafting you. You know, 743 00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:49,720 Speaker 1: he knows they're not. We're not drafting him. But we're 744 00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:52,000 Speaker 1: gonna learn a little bit more about you. Why not, 745 00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:54,520 Speaker 1: We'll do our due diligence because you know, we didn't 746 00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:56,920 Speaker 1: get a change. You're an early you, you came out, 747 00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:59,200 Speaker 1: you declared early. So we don't know a whole lot 748 00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:01,280 Speaker 1: about you, and you know what, you're from the state 749 00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:04,600 Speaker 1: of Texas, so let's talk to you. And you just 750 00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:07,360 Speaker 1: do that to kind of have some you've done your 751 00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:09,280 Speaker 1: due diligence, and you realize that guy's not a right 752 00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:11,760 Speaker 1: fit for us. And that's the other thing too, figuring 753 00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:14,240 Speaker 1: out who ends up being a right fit. In some case, 754 00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:15,720 Speaker 1: you might feel like, you know, we don't think this 755 00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:17,440 Speaker 1: guy's right fit. You like him as a player, like 756 00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:19,000 Speaker 1: you like some of the things he does in the field, 757 00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:22,200 Speaker 1: but then you've heard you know, he's a little different. 758 00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:24,520 Speaker 1: You don't like, you're not totally sure whether he's gonna 759 00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:26,440 Speaker 1: be a Texans kind of guy. So you bring him 760 00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:28,719 Speaker 1: in for a visit and you see and I think 761 00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:31,400 Speaker 1: a perfect example that was Marcus Peters. And I've heard 762 00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:34,120 Speaker 1: this story over the years that when Marcus Peters came here, 763 00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:38,160 Speaker 1: he sat down in a meeting um with it with 764 00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:40,160 Speaker 1: an individual hero that I I was doing a draft report 765 00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:43,320 Speaker 1: this and started and asked him a question and Marcus 766 00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:49,400 Speaker 1: Peters apparently said, you already know, and so Peters So 767 00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:52,040 Speaker 1: so everyone was asked the next question, and Peters was 768 00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:54,040 Speaker 1: like pointed at his stack of papers in front of him, 769 00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:58,160 Speaker 1: he said, you already know minute, I think a minute 770 00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:01,520 Speaker 1: had gone by. Guy walked out and said, I were 771 00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:04,040 Speaker 1: done in this interview here and that was it. You 772 00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:06,560 Speaker 1: get a very good sense of a guy because also 773 00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:08,680 Speaker 1: at that point he was never going to be a Texan. Well, 774 00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:10,839 Speaker 1: once the Wegee contracts are up, which happens a lot 775 00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:13,759 Speaker 1: faster than you think, those guys become available again and 776 00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:15,400 Speaker 1: you can't really talk to them the same way that 777 00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:17,520 Speaker 1: you can. So this is this may be your one opportunity. 778 00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:19,319 Speaker 1: You're dead on you and I think a lot of 779 00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:22,600 Speaker 1: teams end up doing doing that future reference, there's no 780 00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:25,839 Speaker 1: question because you know, you know that gets that free 781 00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:28,080 Speaker 1: agency situation. Hey, we met with that guy three four 782 00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:30,160 Speaker 1: years ago. We really liked him three or four years ago, 783 00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:33,240 Speaker 1: but we weren't able to draft him. But we really 784 00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:35,520 Speaker 1: liked him and we've seen him grow in the game. 785 00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:40,160 Speaker 1: And absolutely, I think part of this is huge, huge, 786 00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:42,680 Speaker 1: because the film is always there is the personality. I 787 00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:44,319 Speaker 1: think sometimes that's just got to be a right fit 788 00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:45,840 Speaker 1: for a coach, no doubt, or a team, for a 789 00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:48,239 Speaker 1: locker room. You know. My point to this all was 790 00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:50,120 Speaker 1: that there's so many players that we've drafted over the 791 00:34:50,200 --> 00:34:53,640 Speaker 1: years that we've asked them, So, were you surprised when 792 00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:57,319 Speaker 1: the Texas drafted you? And it's astounding to me how 793 00:34:57,360 --> 00:35:00,400 Speaker 1: many of them say yes. I was surprised because I 794 00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:02,279 Speaker 1: didn't really think they were interested. I just talked to 795 00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:05,279 Speaker 1: them briefly, and then after that I didn't really know. So, 796 00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:08,560 Speaker 1: you know, I think they It kind of goes both ways, 797 00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:10,400 Speaker 1: doesn't it, Johnny? In some sense. I'm gonna tell you 798 00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:12,120 Speaker 1: the story. This is pretty funny. My buddies and my 799 00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:16,000 Speaker 1: buddies an agent and he is representing a player at 800 00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:20,080 Speaker 1: a university. It's a local university, and so his player 801 00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:24,640 Speaker 1: is really kind of a relative unknown. He played receiver 802 00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:26,600 Speaker 1: for two three years and then they moved in the 803 00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:30,719 Speaker 1: outside linebacker pass rusher his final year and he had 804 00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:32,680 Speaker 1: a good year. He had a good year. I mean 805 00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:35,359 Speaker 1: it's only's first one ever played defense. So he had 806 00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:37,880 Speaker 1: a good year, but not one where you would go, oh, 807 00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:39,560 Speaker 1: and he's kind off the beaten path a little bit. 808 00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:42,640 Speaker 1: And so he had his pro day and they were 809 00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:46,520 Speaker 1: about or probably about ten to twelve teams represented, and 810 00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:50,800 Speaker 1: so my buddy decided to film him running the forty. 811 00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:54,120 Speaker 1: And I could tell because he showed me the video 812 00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:57,879 Speaker 1: and I'm like, boy, he's flying. He eventually ran at 813 00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:02,000 Speaker 1: you know, a pretty good outside linebacker. Wait, he ran 814 00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:04,319 Speaker 1: four four and on some watches he ran four three. 815 00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:10,840 Speaker 1: One of the scouts watching Indianapolis Colt scout watching, you 816 00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:12,480 Speaker 1: can see they're all at the forty yard line, though, 817 00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:15,960 Speaker 1: I got to stop watches and he stops it. He 818 00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:18,360 Speaker 1: looks at it and then he puts it down and 819 00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:23,839 Speaker 1: hides it as if to say, I don't want to 820 00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:27,439 Speaker 1: know what he ran. And he wasn't the only one. 821 00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:29,400 Speaker 1: There were like two or three others that looked at 822 00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:31,600 Speaker 1: their watches and were like when they kind of hid them. 823 00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:33,760 Speaker 1: They didn't want anybody to see it. Because what happens 824 00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:35,399 Speaker 1: in the pro day is all the scouts didn't get 825 00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:39,120 Speaker 1: together and they start talking about it. And he looked 826 00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:41,000 Speaker 1: at him put it down. But there's an official time 827 00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:46,160 Speaker 1: that comes out. No, No, that what the school puts 828 00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:49,719 Speaker 1: out is what the scouts come to agreement on, like 829 00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:51,840 Speaker 1: they kind of go around their tie. You here's all. 830 00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:53,200 Speaker 1: I had him at this, I had him at this, 831 00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:55,359 Speaker 1: I had him at this. I guarantee that scout was like, 832 00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:58,040 Speaker 1: I don't say anything because they want to keep that 833 00:36:58,040 --> 00:37:00,799 Speaker 1: stuff under reps. And my guess is as soon as 834 00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:03,440 Speaker 1: he would have shown any excitement about that particular player, 835 00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:06,600 Speaker 1: a couple other scouts going, hey, by the way, you 836 00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:08,720 Speaker 1: know that player that we like at that particular school, 837 00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:11,000 Speaker 1: and I know they're gonna like him too, and you 838 00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:12,520 Speaker 1: can just you can, but you try and keep that 839 00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:14,719 Speaker 1: stuff under wraps because you just don't want that information 840 00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:17,600 Speaker 1: getting out. Yeah, And that scout was like, look for 841 00:37:17,719 --> 00:37:21,719 Speaker 1: players at big University's Alabama, Oklahoma, Like that stuff is 842 00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:24,480 Speaker 1: gonna come out, Like you can't, you can't hide that. 843 00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:27,080 Speaker 1: But when you're you're going to places that are not 844 00:37:27,160 --> 00:37:30,040 Speaker 1: the blue bloods in some sense, and you've got a 845 00:37:30,040 --> 00:37:32,440 Speaker 1: little you know, diamond and the rough, if you will, 846 00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:35,160 Speaker 1: you treat that stuff like the biggest secret you've ever got. 847 00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:38,359 Speaker 1: You're sitting over there like you're playing poker and you're like, oh, 848 00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:40,399 Speaker 1: you know, but you're trying not to show your poker face, 849 00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:43,160 Speaker 1: you know. And it'll be interesting to see if that 850 00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:46,040 Speaker 1: team ends up. A couple of teams that were kind 851 00:37:46,040 --> 00:37:48,239 Speaker 1: of hiding, we're like, all right, we're really high on 852 00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:50,440 Speaker 1: that guy. We'd like to have that guy, and I've 853 00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:53,080 Speaker 1: heard through the room bill. Unfortunately that uh the Colts 854 00:37:53,080 --> 00:37:57,080 Speaker 1: aren't interested, which would sort of stink, uh pretty badly. 855 00:37:57,160 --> 00:37:59,640 Speaker 1: But it just goes to show there are some teams 856 00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:01,600 Speaker 1: that are doing all this for smokescreen. But what they 857 00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:04,880 Speaker 1: get when they get some true information, Boy, they're hiding 858 00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:07,279 Speaker 1: it and keeping that from everybody. So the stuff that 859 00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:09,960 Speaker 1: gets out, for the most part, that's either coming from 860 00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:13,600 Speaker 1: agents the players themselves, or the agents and the players themselves, 861 00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:15,720 Speaker 1: because it's not coming from the teams. If the teams 862 00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:17,799 Speaker 1: are putting it out there, then more than likely it 863 00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:20,560 Speaker 1: is they're not excited about that particular player. All right. 864 00:38:20,600 --> 00:38:23,400 Speaker 1: I tease this before the break an injury that happened 865 00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:27,239 Speaker 1: last year that maybe even more impressive now that it's out. 866 00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:29,400 Speaker 1: We were talking about the Tyler Dunn's story. Aaron Rodgers 867 00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:33,120 Speaker 1: and Michael McCarthy. Aaron Rodgers last year started all sixteen games. 868 00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:35,440 Speaker 1: Remember Week one against the Bears. He left ye the 869 00:38:35,440 --> 00:38:37,879 Speaker 1: game early, comes back, mount says, tremendous come back. Didn't 870 00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:39,960 Speaker 1: miss another game of the rest of the year. Yeah. Well, 871 00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:42,479 Speaker 1: the injury that he played with in all sixteen games 872 00:38:42,520 --> 00:38:45,960 Speaker 1: last year. On Monday, he told ESPN Milwaukee a radio 873 00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:49,000 Speaker 1: show that the knee injury was actually a tibial plateau 874 00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:54,320 Speaker 1: fracture in an mcl sprain, and I thought plateau fracture 875 00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:56,759 Speaker 1: is the exact same thing that JJ Watt had and 876 00:38:56,840 --> 00:38:58,960 Speaker 1: he looked to be an excruciating pay Now, I'm sure 877 00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:03,640 Speaker 1: there's varying degrees of yeah, yeah, obviously, but he played 878 00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:06,560 Speaker 1: with that injury all year until week seventeen when he 879 00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:11,880 Speaker 1: suffered a concussion versus the Lions. Now, how impressive is 880 00:39:11,920 --> 00:39:14,120 Speaker 1: that that he played with all that and and wake 881 00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:16,400 Speaker 1: of the story that you alluded to earlier people had 882 00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:18,839 Speaker 1: a chance to read it or not, he says he's 883 00:39:18,880 --> 00:39:22,360 Speaker 1: dismissed all of that as just well, I think he was. 884 00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:25,160 Speaker 1: You know, Rogers was pretty upset because it's the same 885 00:39:25,239 --> 00:39:29,000 Speaker 1: two guys that, according to him, Greg Jennings and jere 886 00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:31,960 Speaker 1: Michael Finley, that have said that about Aaron Rodgers for 887 00:39:31,960 --> 00:39:33,880 Speaker 1: for a long time. It's been those two guys quoted. 888 00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:36,160 Speaker 1: Now those are the only two guys that had said anything. 889 00:39:36,680 --> 00:39:38,040 Speaker 1: And you know how it is the world that we 890 00:39:38,080 --> 00:39:39,719 Speaker 1: live in. You know how many things are like you know, 891 00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:41,600 Speaker 1: we hear, but we can never say. And if you're 892 00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:43,839 Speaker 1: reported like, hey, don't use that, you know what if 893 00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:47,080 Speaker 1: I use what if I use that information anonymously, so 894 00:39:47,400 --> 00:39:50,360 Speaker 1: it's kind of tricky. But just on that note alone, 895 00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:53,160 Speaker 1: him playing with that. When I think about a quarterback 896 00:39:53,239 --> 00:39:56,680 Speaker 1: and I think about driving the football and throwing the 897 00:39:56,680 --> 00:39:58,879 Speaker 1: football that you see your legs, I mean being able 898 00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:00,399 Speaker 1: to drive it and throw it the way that he 899 00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:04,080 Speaker 1: does with an injury in either one of those legs. 900 00:40:03,719 --> 00:40:06,560 Speaker 1: It's it's mind blowing. I mean it's it's mind blowing. 901 00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:08,640 Speaker 1: I mean, he's got he's got one of the strongest, 902 00:40:08,719 --> 00:40:11,480 Speaker 1: not the strongest arm in the NFL, and to be 903 00:40:11,520 --> 00:40:13,120 Speaker 1: able to drive the football like he was still doing. 904 00:40:13,160 --> 00:40:14,759 Speaker 1: It's funny because the other day I actually watched the 905 00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:16,799 Speaker 1: Packers and Jets game. I was actually watching him more 906 00:40:16,840 --> 00:40:21,120 Speaker 1: for the Jets because thinking about what they're gonna do 907 00:40:21,120 --> 00:40:22,560 Speaker 1: with number three in the draft. So I'm kind of 908 00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:25,400 Speaker 1: started thinking about team needs and watching a game just 909 00:40:25,440 --> 00:40:27,359 Speaker 1: to see what they looked like. The week after we 910 00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:28,400 Speaker 1: had play I think it was the week after we 911 00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:30,840 Speaker 1: played him, and just see what Sam Donald, you know, 912 00:40:30,840 --> 00:40:32,520 Speaker 1: how he I was watching more of the Jets, but 913 00:40:32,640 --> 00:40:34,800 Speaker 1: the game was so good I kind of got locked 914 00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:37,000 Speaker 1: into watching Rogers and some of the throws he's making, 915 00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:38,719 Speaker 1: and I'm like, Oh my gosh, and I heard that news, 916 00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:40,840 Speaker 1: I thought back to watching that game because that was 917 00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:43,600 Speaker 1: week sixteen, I think I think it was week sixteen 918 00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:48,239 Speaker 1: or weeks seventeen. For the season, they didn't have a 919 00:40:48,239 --> 00:40:50,400 Speaker 1: winning record. No, they didn't, and they were kind of 920 00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:52,000 Speaker 1: all over the place with a number of different things. 921 00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:54,360 Speaker 1: And and Aaron was not Aaron was not great in 922 00:40:54,400 --> 00:40:56,839 Speaker 1: twenty eighteen. He was not. He was not great, not 923 00:40:56,880 --> 00:41:00,239 Speaker 1: like he has set such a standard for himself that 924 00:41:00,440 --> 00:41:03,399 Speaker 1: it's tough to get tough to get there. He played 925 00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:05,640 Speaker 1: through this injury, which he do. He could have done 926 00:41:05,640 --> 00:41:08,480 Speaker 1: some long term damage yea, to himself doing that. But 927 00:41:08,520 --> 00:41:10,680 Speaker 1: you know that just shows even when he came back 928 00:41:10,680 --> 00:41:12,759 Speaker 1: in Week one against the Bears. For that comeback, when 929 00:41:12,840 --> 00:41:14,719 Speaker 1: I just couldn't I couldn't believe it he could put 930 00:41:14,760 --> 00:41:16,759 Speaker 1: any weight on his leg in that game. He just 931 00:41:16,800 --> 00:41:18,880 Speaker 1: stood back there and was flicking it. I mean literally 932 00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:21,239 Speaker 1: is flicking at thirty and four yards and putting it 933 00:41:21,280 --> 00:41:24,160 Speaker 1: on a dime. So I was I was surprised when 934 00:41:24,200 --> 00:41:26,359 Speaker 1: I saw that, But then again, dep we're around these 935 00:41:26,360 --> 00:41:29,920 Speaker 1: guys a lot. We see them in weeks fifteen, sixteen seventeen, 936 00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:31,640 Speaker 1: like we see them at the end of the year. 937 00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:34,200 Speaker 1: And there are some dudes that when we when we 938 00:41:34,239 --> 00:41:36,200 Speaker 1: see them on Wednesday, when they get back here in 939 00:41:36,239 --> 00:41:39,240 Speaker 1: the locker room after winning, you know, they see Wednesday thing, 940 00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:42,279 Speaker 1: and we see them on Wednesday. And if you're if 941 00:41:42,320 --> 00:41:43,839 Speaker 1: you would tell me at that point, hey, this guy's 942 00:41:43,880 --> 00:41:47,040 Speaker 1: gonna play on Sunday, I wouldn't believe you, Like, there's 943 00:41:47,040 --> 00:41:49,080 Speaker 1: no way that guys can play. Sometimes that's a question 944 00:41:49,120 --> 00:41:51,440 Speaker 1: mark because the injury report towards the end of the 945 00:41:51,520 --> 00:41:53,879 Speaker 1: year is so long and not just for the Texans something. 946 00:41:54,719 --> 00:41:58,520 Speaker 1: It doesn't tell everything that these guys are either Yeah, 947 00:41:58,560 --> 00:42:00,520 Speaker 1: you think, oh, maybe their question will be because that 948 00:42:00,560 --> 00:42:02,239 Speaker 1: they need they need a little bit of a you know, 949 00:42:03,040 --> 00:42:05,400 Speaker 1: less reps right as a season wasn't like with a 950 00:42:05,520 --> 00:42:08,040 Speaker 1: JJ or you know, obviously Deshawn's going to play, right, 951 00:42:08,360 --> 00:42:11,239 Speaker 1: But you know DeAndre, I mean how much practice the 952 00:42:11,320 --> 00:42:13,759 Speaker 1: last fifteen weeks in a year. I don't know that 953 00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:15,520 Speaker 1: he practiced at all. I didn't think he was going 954 00:42:15,600 --> 00:42:18,600 Speaker 1: to play those what was it Philly against Philly, Yeah 955 00:42:18,640 --> 00:42:20,680 Speaker 1: he wasn't. I mean he didn't warm up, he didn't practice, 956 00:42:20,719 --> 00:42:23,319 Speaker 1: that came out super late even for warm ups, and 957 00:42:23,400 --> 00:42:24,920 Speaker 1: you know, he was listed with the ankle, still came 958 00:42:24,960 --> 00:42:26,880 Speaker 1: out and played still how To, how To, had a 959 00:42:26,920 --> 00:42:29,759 Speaker 1: good game considering everything that he was going through. Because 960 00:42:30,520 --> 00:42:32,640 Speaker 1: oh my gosh. All right, speaking of which, all these 961 00:42:32,680 --> 00:42:35,439 Speaker 1: guys will be back in the building for voluntary ot 962 00:42:35,719 --> 00:42:38,680 Speaker 1: voluntary offseason workouts on Monday. I can't believe this nine 963 00:42:38,719 --> 00:42:41,960 Speaker 1: week program is already upon us, Johnny, what are your 964 00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:44,560 Speaker 1: top three things that you want to see in this 965 00:42:44,640 --> 00:42:48,319 Speaker 1: nine week program. I know you're as number one back 966 00:42:48,320 --> 00:42:50,279 Speaker 1: in the building. I know what number one is, but 967 00:42:50,680 --> 00:42:52,520 Speaker 1: I don't think it's gonna happen. I'd love to see 968 00:42:53,040 --> 00:42:56,359 Speaker 1: Clowney because I just want to see him here long term. Um, 969 00:42:56,400 --> 00:42:58,560 Speaker 1: that would be number one, but that's I'm pretty sure 970 00:42:58,600 --> 00:43:00,680 Speaker 1: that's not going to happen. But you know, I think 971 00:43:01,520 --> 00:43:03,560 Speaker 1: just for the conditioning period, it's just to be able 972 00:43:03,600 --> 00:43:05,759 Speaker 1: to get everybody back here. See he was in shape. 973 00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:07,640 Speaker 1: We've already seen some of the guys here. In fact, 974 00:43:07,640 --> 00:43:10,239 Speaker 1: I've seen a bunch of the offensive lineman here in 975 00:43:10,239 --> 00:43:13,240 Speaker 1: the lunch room this week. So I think just guys 976 00:43:13,280 --> 00:43:16,200 Speaker 1: coming back, hopefully healthy. I'm curious to see what Jante 977 00:43:16,280 --> 00:43:18,480 Speaker 1: Foreman looks like because the videos look damn good. Well, 978 00:43:18,480 --> 00:43:20,040 Speaker 1: I was gonna say he's number one on my list 979 00:43:20,040 --> 00:43:22,239 Speaker 1: because we did not see him this time last year, 980 00:43:22,640 --> 00:43:25,320 Speaker 1: and we barely saw him in practice even towards the 981 00:43:25,400 --> 00:43:26,600 Speaker 1: end of the year when he was playing. So I'm 982 00:43:26,640 --> 00:43:28,240 Speaker 1: excited to see what he looks like out on the field. 983 00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:31,279 Speaker 1: Very excited about that, I think. The other the other 984 00:43:31,280 --> 00:43:36,759 Speaker 1: one is just what's the progress of rookies to second 985 00:43:36,840 --> 00:43:39,040 Speaker 1: year guys. So the Justin Reid class, so last year's 986 00:43:39,120 --> 00:43:42,800 Speaker 1: rookie class, how has that How does that group look 987 00:43:43,560 --> 00:43:45,239 Speaker 1: the versus what they looked like is rookie Now when 988 00:43:45,239 --> 00:43:46,680 Speaker 1: they come in here as rookies, they've been training for 989 00:43:46,719 --> 00:43:50,680 Speaker 1: the combines, so they're pretty good shape for the most part. Now, 990 00:43:50,880 --> 00:43:52,880 Speaker 1: some guys as rookies, I think Jaln Strong was one 991 00:43:52,880 --> 00:43:54,840 Speaker 1: of them. They went to the combine and then Jalen 992 00:43:55,320 --> 00:43:57,120 Speaker 1: was banged up at surgery and then he never got 993 00:43:57,200 --> 00:44:00,600 Speaker 1: himself back in shape until the very of that first 994 00:44:00,680 --> 00:44:04,000 Speaker 1: year in twenty fifteen. But I want to see what 995 00:44:04,040 --> 00:44:06,200 Speaker 1: the second year guys, how they look and what their 996 00:44:06,200 --> 00:44:10,160 Speaker 1: confidence level is, because that changes everything that second year. 997 00:44:10,200 --> 00:44:12,160 Speaker 1: You know the system, you know where you're supposed to go. 998 00:44:12,520 --> 00:44:13,799 Speaker 1: You know some of those guys have been around. I 999 00:44:13,840 --> 00:44:17,080 Speaker 1: talked to Big Baby Jordan Thomas the other day and 1000 00:44:17,160 --> 00:44:20,040 Speaker 1: saw him, and you know, he looks he looks tremendous. 1001 00:44:20,080 --> 00:44:22,359 Speaker 1: But it's just a matter of the confidence level those 1002 00:44:22,400 --> 00:44:26,280 Speaker 1: guys now have, you know, coming too. So from that perspective, 1003 00:44:26,280 --> 00:44:28,279 Speaker 1: I would think, y'at former he looks like I'd love 1004 00:44:28,280 --> 00:44:30,080 Speaker 1: to cejd here, but I don't think he's gonna be here, 1005 00:44:30,520 --> 00:44:32,600 Speaker 1: which is okay. Look is Bill Brian will say that 1006 00:44:32,719 --> 00:44:37,839 Speaker 1: day they're voluntary. They're voluntary. Keep that in mind. They're voluntary. 1007 00:44:37,920 --> 00:44:40,160 Speaker 1: And that's Monday, players back in the building and Tuesday 1008 00:44:40,160 --> 00:44:42,480 Speaker 1: we have a special edition of Texans All Access. We 1009 00:44:42,600 --> 00:44:45,200 Speaker 1: will be at bud Ruckers with cecil shorts. That's actually 1010 00:44:45,239 --> 00:44:46,400 Speaker 1: the day that a lot of the players will be 1011 00:44:46,400 --> 00:44:48,600 Speaker 1: speaking at the podium, will have lots more to talk about. 1012 00:44:48,680 --> 00:44:51,359 Speaker 1: That's gonna do it for Texans All Access, for Juardeherty, 1013 00:44:51,719 --> 00:44:54,000 Speaker 1: John Harris, I'm deep doo thingks so much for listening 1014 00:44:54,200 --> 00:44:55,759 Speaker 1: and go Texans and
