Now we 15 00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:51,200 Speaker 1: got a chance to see him twice in practice, and 16 00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:53,360 Speaker 1: you know how I felt about it. It It felt like Wednesday, 17 00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:57,640 Speaker 1: Lions looked looked not better than Texas, but I thought 18 00:00:57,640 --> 00:00:59,760 Speaker 1: they looked good. They look better than Packers. I'll tell 19 00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:03,680 Speaker 1: you that. Yesterday I felt like the Texans really got 20 00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:05,960 Speaker 1: after him. I felt like the Texans were were clear 21 00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,840 Speaker 1: that a better team and play better throughout the day 22 00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:11,400 Speaker 1: and in all phases, red zone situations, I mean everything 23 00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:14,399 Speaker 1: you're talking about. That thought the Texans were on point 24 00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:17,400 Speaker 1: now like the Texans Alliance have some guys banged up 25 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:21,000 Speaker 1: Texans sets some guys banged up too, But either way, 26 00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:23,840 Speaker 1: I think Saturday night it's gonna be a good test 27 00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:27,120 Speaker 1: for I don't know. I don't want to count the 28 00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:30,720 Speaker 1: players in Russia, but maybe players thirty five through ninety 29 00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:35,640 Speaker 1: on the roster making more strides on Saturday Night. I 30 00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:38,920 Speaker 1: don't know exactly. I don't A lot of times I 31 00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:41,120 Speaker 1: have my finger on the pulse of Okay, they'll be 32 00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:44,640 Speaker 1: in pass today, not pass today, Okay, they'll be they'll 33 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:46,160 Speaker 1: be inside of it. Like I have a pulse on 34 00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:50,480 Speaker 1: kind of what to expect. I don't really know what 35 00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:52,640 Speaker 1: to expect as far as the starters go. And I 36 00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:58,080 Speaker 1: shouldn't say starters, but the ones JJ hop Fuller, Watson, 37 00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:02,680 Speaker 1: Lamar Miller, guy that didn't play last week, what's the 38 00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:05,160 Speaker 1: thought about them playing? And I thought it was interesting 39 00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:08,600 Speaker 1: that will Fuller spoke out to practice said I feel good. 40 00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:11,079 Speaker 1: I wouldn't mind getting a few reps in preseason to 41 00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:15,399 Speaker 1: kind of test out game speed. But I just I'm 42 00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:18,239 Speaker 1: so hesitant now in preseason, and it really was a 43 00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:20,639 Speaker 1: couple of years ago. Was last year's last year. We 44 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,600 Speaker 1: went out to LA and we played the Rams last year, 45 00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:25,560 Speaker 1: and I just remember seeing before the game Jared Goff 46 00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:30,320 Speaker 1: going through this long passing session with his guys, and 47 00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:31,959 Speaker 1: I was like, man, I don't think he's gonna play. 48 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:33,959 Speaker 1: He's doing a lot of throwing before the game. I 49 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:36,639 Speaker 1: don't think he's gonna play. And there's girly, I don't 50 00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:39,480 Speaker 1: think girl, he's gonna play. And then the Rams didn't 51 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:42,320 Speaker 1: play hardly anybody. And then they played Dominican Sue because 52 00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:43,560 Speaker 1: he was new and they wanted to get him on 53 00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:45,040 Speaker 1: the field a few reps see what he could do, 54 00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:48,200 Speaker 1: and that was it, and they didn't play anybody. Man, 55 00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:51,440 Speaker 1: then that's even what the Super Bowl. So I don't 56 00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:54,040 Speaker 1: think that's part of the format. But it kept those 57 00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:57,040 Speaker 1: guys healthy in the preseason, and I think you've seen 58 00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:00,560 Speaker 1: a lot of it throughout the league. Team's not play guys. 59 00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:04,480 Speaker 1: Jacksonville had twenty seven guys that didn't play last night 60 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:07,480 Speaker 1: against the Eagles, including Nick Foles playing against his former team. 61 00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:10,240 Speaker 1: They had twenty seven guys. Now they've gone, they've gone 62 00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:12,560 Speaker 1: through kind of a rash of injuries. So I get it, 63 00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:15,320 Speaker 1: but my gut doesn't. I don't know. I don't know 64 00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:18,880 Speaker 1: what to expect. Whether we'll see guys like Matt Stafford 65 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:23,399 Speaker 1: for the Lions, or we'll see Deshaun Watson, JJ Watt, etc. 66 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,480 Speaker 1: For the Texans. I don't know, But I do know 67 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:30,359 Speaker 1: preseason game and Energy Stadium, the first game of the year, 68 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 1: the first opportunity to see this team up close. That's 69 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:37,440 Speaker 1: always good. That's always Actually, it's a great thing to 70 00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:39,760 Speaker 1: be honest with you. Now, we got a lot on 71 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:42,600 Speaker 1: the show. We had one on ones with John Weeks, 72 00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:49,160 Speaker 1: with DeAndre Carter, with Peter Callumbai. We've got all that. 73 00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:52,600 Speaker 1: We've got an in the Lab snippet with my in 74 00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:55,840 Speaker 1: the Lab partner through Doherty where we talk about Duke Johnson, 75 00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:58,000 Speaker 1: a guy that we won't see on Saturday night against 76 00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,360 Speaker 1: the Detroit Lions, but we will see in due time 77 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:03,160 Speaker 1: and really excited. We talked about the value of adding 78 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:07,840 Speaker 1: Duke Johnson because at this time last week it became 79 00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:11,680 Speaker 1: official that Duke Johnson was a Texan. The trade was official, 80 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:14,000 Speaker 1: and he became a member of the Texans, and so 81 00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:16,320 Speaker 1: we talked about that on our end of that podcast, 82 00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:18,880 Speaker 1: so we'll have that for you as well. We've also 83 00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:20,640 Speaker 1: got Dylan Cole and you're gonna hear from him in 84 00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 1: this segment. But we're gonna kick it off with the 85 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,279 Speaker 1: head coach, Bill O'Brien, who sat down with the Voice 86 00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 1: of Texans Mark Vanomer coach last week. We talked about 87 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:29,920 Speaker 1: road routine and getting used to that. What about getting 88 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:31,919 Speaker 1: used to the home routine because you're stay in a 89 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:33,719 Speaker 1: hotel the night before the game. A lot of fans 90 00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:35,600 Speaker 1: don't even know that, and you have to get used 91 00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:39,039 Speaker 1: to NRG Stadium. Absolutely definitely a different routine. You know, 92 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:41,360 Speaker 1: started out on the road, like you said in Green Bay, 93 00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:44,159 Speaker 1: and now we met this morning about you know, the 94 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:47,160 Speaker 1: home routine. So we meet and walked through in the morning, 95 00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:48,760 Speaker 1: then we have a break during the day and then 96 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:50,919 Speaker 1: we meet back up at six o'clock at the hotel. 97 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:54,360 Speaker 1: And I don't have staff meetings, and then obviously special 98 00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:57,679 Speaker 1: teams owen d we have chapel, a lot of different 99 00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,480 Speaker 1: things going on at the hotel, and then we'll meet 100 00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:02,200 Speaker 1: again in the morning, let them sleep in a little 101 00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:04,920 Speaker 1: bit and then meet in the morning and then you're right, 102 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:06,599 Speaker 1: they have to get over here. A lot of the 103 00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:08,600 Speaker 1: guys have never played in this stadium, you know, the 104 00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:11,760 Speaker 1: rookies and some of the newer guys, so they've got 105 00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:14,679 Speaker 1: to get used to the indoor stadium, the lighting, the field. 106 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:17,240 Speaker 1: So there's a lot of a lot that goes into 107 00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:19,520 Speaker 1: that routine, no doubt. I know, you want good habits 108 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:22,720 Speaker 1: to start early, and last week you had some turnover issues. 109 00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:24,279 Speaker 1: You want to clean that up, no matter who's in 110 00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:26,799 Speaker 1: the game, right yeah. I mean, you know, in talking 111 00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:28,400 Speaker 1: to the team this morning, you know, I think when 112 00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,320 Speaker 1: you looked at last week's game, I mean, we moved 113 00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:33,359 Speaker 1: the ball. I thought we played pretty good defense, but 114 00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:35,720 Speaker 1: it was penalties and turnovers, you know, and we didn't 115 00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:38,120 Speaker 1: get any takeaways, you know what I mean. So we 116 00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:40,840 Speaker 1: fumbled a punt, you know, we threw a couple interceptions, 117 00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:42,960 Speaker 1: we fumbled. I mean, we had four turnovers and you're 118 00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:44,680 Speaker 1: not gonna win many games doing that. And I think 119 00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:46,039 Speaker 1: if we take care of the ball, we got a 120 00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:49,000 Speaker 1: chance to win a lot of games. And then the penalties, 121 00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,839 Speaker 1: you know, the false starts, the neutral zone and fractions, 122 00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:54,520 Speaker 1: the penalties that we can control, you know, those are 123 00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:56,160 Speaker 1: the ones we have to eliminate. So if we can 124 00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:58,400 Speaker 1: take a step in that direction, we will we will 125 00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:00,840 Speaker 1: have improved as a team. How do you feel about 126 00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:02,880 Speaker 1: the work you got done against the lines in practice 127 00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:05,720 Speaker 1: versus whatever is going to transpire in the game. Great work, 128 00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,240 Speaker 1: I mean, great work. Those guys, you know, really good 129 00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:11,279 Speaker 1: team to work with, similar philosophies on how to practice, 130 00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:14,599 Speaker 1: you know, tempo of practice, situational football. We were able 131 00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:16,799 Speaker 1: to get two minute drills in red area and third 132 00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:19,680 Speaker 1: down and backed up and all kinds of different things done. 133 00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:21,440 Speaker 1: So it was it was a good couple of days, 134 00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:23,840 Speaker 1: no doubt. And we talk about this every year, but 135 00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:26,480 Speaker 1: winning actually winning the game in the preseason and the 136 00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:28,680 Speaker 1: value of that, Yeah, I think so. I think. I 137 00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:30,359 Speaker 1: think it's important every time you go out there to 138 00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:31,960 Speaker 1: try to win, do the best you can to win. 139 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:34,839 Speaker 1: Looks at the AFC Championship game. No it's not, but 140 00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:36,839 Speaker 1: it's but it's a it's a game, and it's important 141 00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:38,400 Speaker 1: to go out there and it's a home game. And 142 00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:41,000 Speaker 1: I think that's what we talked to our players this 143 00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:42,720 Speaker 1: morning about, you know, this is our first home game 144 00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:44,200 Speaker 1: in front of our fans. Let's go out there and 145 00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:46,240 Speaker 1: play well, let's go win the game. Did you get 146 00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:48,360 Speaker 1: a lot of choice from the fans of practice this week? 147 00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:51,080 Speaker 1: We did the fans. The fans here, Like I've said, 148 00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:53,479 Speaker 1: you know, you've heard me say it a million times. 149 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:55,600 Speaker 1: The fans are awesome. I mean, they love the Texans. 150 00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:59,040 Speaker 1: It's a football city and we're doing our level best 151 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:02,720 Speaker 1: to give them a real winner. So having those those 152 00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:06,400 Speaker 1: fans at practice, it was awesome. Basing Matthew Stafford and 153 00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:09,560 Speaker 1: his arm. The value of that because we all know 154 00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:11,720 Speaker 1: what's coming in the early part of the schedule. Yeah, 155 00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:13,720 Speaker 1: it was really good. You know, we saw Rogers last 156 00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:15,840 Speaker 1: week and then now this week we see Matt Stafford. 157 00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:19,320 Speaker 1: You're talking about high level quarterbacks that really smart, have 158 00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:23,400 Speaker 1: great arms, very accurate, really command their offense. Uh, it 159 00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:25,280 Speaker 1: was good. He's he's a he's a hell of a player. 160 00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:27,920 Speaker 1: I've admired him from Afar from for a long time. 161 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:30,520 Speaker 1: We played against him once here, Uh, you know, a 162 00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:33,760 Speaker 1: couple of years ago. And tough, tough guy, very competitive guy, 163 00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:36,120 Speaker 1: and it's been good to go against him. Coach, Thanks 164 00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:38,320 Speaker 1: a lot, good luck than I've said this a million 165 00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:41,960 Speaker 1: times and you guys have heard it. You know it too. 166 00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:47,920 Speaker 1: Preseason result doesn't mean anything. You want to keep guys healthy, 167 00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:50,160 Speaker 1: You want to see progress from your young guys. And 168 00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:54,160 Speaker 1: I think that's a big key is the progress of 169 00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:58,240 Speaker 1: the young guys in this game. Titus Howard, Max Sharping, 170 00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:01,840 Speaker 1: Lonnie Johnson. How do they progress rests from week one 171 00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:03,800 Speaker 1: to week two? And I say week not so much game, 172 00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:06,480 Speaker 1: but week because they had two practice against packers and 173 00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:10,160 Speaker 1: a game, two practices against lines and a game. How 174 00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:13,960 Speaker 1: do they settle in and do they settle in a 175 00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:17,280 Speaker 1: little earlier than they did maybe in the first game 176 00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:19,600 Speaker 1: when all the nerves and all that kind of bubbling 177 00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:22,000 Speaker 1: up inside of them. It's the first NFL action like, 178 00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:23,800 Speaker 1: oh my gosh, I'm NFL player. I mean, they've got 179 00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:26,360 Speaker 1: a lot going on, especially from Max playing in front 180 00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:29,440 Speaker 1: of his home crowd, his home fans where he's from 181 00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:30,960 Speaker 1: in Green Bay. Now he's gonna be playing in front 182 00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:34,120 Speaker 1: of his new home fans, the Texans fans, and that's 183 00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:36,560 Speaker 1: gonna be pretty cool. The result doesn't matter all that much, 184 00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:39,800 Speaker 1: but cut down on the penalties, cut down on the turnovers, 185 00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:43,920 Speaker 1: and those two things. If you come out of the 186 00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:47,080 Speaker 1: game healthy, you see some progress from your young guys. 187 00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:50,600 Speaker 1: You cut down on the turnovers and you cut down 188 00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:53,000 Speaker 1: on the penalties. And I say that from the standpoint 189 00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:56,280 Speaker 1: during the during the week the two practices, the Texans 190 00:08:56,280 --> 00:09:00,320 Speaker 1: did have a rash your procedure penalties and off sides picular, 191 00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:03,280 Speaker 1: not about three or four of them. And look, I 192 00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:06,199 Speaker 1: get it. It's excitement there. It's exciting to see a 193 00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:09,120 Speaker 1: team you just wanted to get off the ball. But 194 00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:12,160 Speaker 1: that's got it. That's got to be cleaned up, and 195 00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:15,600 Speaker 1: that will come. But you want to see the operation 196 00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:20,000 Speaker 1: runs smoothly. And you've now had a full week of 197 00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:22,839 Speaker 1: practice with Joe Webbs and number two quarterback. The twos 198 00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:25,240 Speaker 1: have gotten used to his cadence. They've gotten used to him, 199 00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:28,200 Speaker 1: so I think that will help matters a little bit. 200 00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:30,760 Speaker 1: It's not I don't say brand new look, kind of 201 00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:33,319 Speaker 1: like it was in Green Bay. But aj got hurt 202 00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:37,840 Speaker 1: the last drill of the last day of practice, so 203 00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:39,439 Speaker 1: they really don't have a lot of time to work together. 204 00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:41,360 Speaker 1: So now they've had some time to work together, so 205 00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:43,520 Speaker 1: hopefully the work that kinks out. But some of those penalties, 206 00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:47,240 Speaker 1: let's kind of get those under control. And they're gonna 207 00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:49,760 Speaker 1: be penalties in preseason game, don't get me wrong, but 208 00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:53,600 Speaker 1: you don't want it to be operation penalties, delay games, procedures, 209 00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:57,959 Speaker 1: those sort of things that just you absolutely can control. 210 00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:00,080 Speaker 1: Like a holding here there, Yeah, that's gonna happen. But 211 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:03,120 Speaker 1: like a physical penalty DPI op, that's gonna happen. But 212 00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:06,680 Speaker 1: the procedure penalties of delay games, the off sides, those 213 00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:08,920 Speaker 1: discipline type penalties, those have got to be eliminated and 214 00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:12,439 Speaker 1: not hopefully that will that will happen. But the juice, 215 00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:14,640 Speaker 1: the energy that they played with this week against the lines, 216 00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:17,200 Speaker 1: that's got to be there on Saturday night. Now. A 217 00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:20,200 Speaker 1: guy that brings juice every time he is on the field, 218 00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:22,120 Speaker 1: and he will get a lot of snaps, I would 219 00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:25,880 Speaker 1: imagine with the ones on defense, depending on how the 220 00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:28,959 Speaker 1: reps go and who's playing and who isn't. It's Dylan 221 00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:31,800 Speaker 1: Cole and jew Dorry caught up with him yesterday. Thank 222 00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:34,280 Speaker 1: you so much. We've gotten linebacker Dylan Cole with us. 223 00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:36,480 Speaker 1: And Dylan, let's talk about the week that was with 224 00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:38,760 Speaker 1: the Detroit Lions before we talk about the game tonight. 225 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,560 Speaker 1: What do you think you guys accomplished going against another 226 00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:44,320 Speaker 1: offense again another week in a row. Um, I think 227 00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:47,640 Speaker 1: we got to see some different looks. I know defensively, 228 00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:50,600 Speaker 1: we got to see a few different plays, especially coming 229 00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:52,480 Speaker 1: from Green Bay that it's just a whole different scheme. 230 00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:55,199 Speaker 1: So it's just nice to see different plays and different people, 231 00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:57,840 Speaker 1: just different competition. It's it's it's always nice to get 232 00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,600 Speaker 1: various looks. Yeah, you say nice, How freshing is it? 233 00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:02,920 Speaker 1: Because you're able to learn quite a bit, aren't you? Yeah, 234 00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:05,240 Speaker 1: no question. I think we're used to going against our offense. 235 00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:07,000 Speaker 1: We kind of know what to expect, so it's not 236 00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:09,120 Speaker 1: to see different looks. We're not even prepared for what 237 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:12,080 Speaker 1: they have. So it's really comes down to fundamentals, technique 238 00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:14,400 Speaker 1: and alignment assignment. If you don't know what to do, 239 00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:16,600 Speaker 1: if you have a good fundamentals and technique, you can 240 00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:18,920 Speaker 1: still win the play the goal in a game, always 241 00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:21,240 Speaker 1: keep the other team from scoring. What about personally, what 242 00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:23,880 Speaker 1: are you working on in a preseason game? Though, like 243 00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:27,200 Speaker 1: I said, just technique. In my fundamentals, I have a 244 00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:29,520 Speaker 1: good feeling kind of what they're going to do in 245 00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:31,280 Speaker 1: the game. But at the end of the day, I 246 00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:34,360 Speaker 1: just have to have sound fundamentals and good technique. What 247 00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:36,560 Speaker 1: are you doing off the field to get smarter as 248 00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:38,360 Speaker 1: a football player. How do you work on that? Just 249 00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:41,240 Speaker 1: lots of film. I watched different players throughout the league, 250 00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:44,400 Speaker 1: different special teams players, different linebackers. Depends on what I'm watching, 251 00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:47,079 Speaker 1: but I just try to master my crafty whoever's doing 252 00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:49,559 Speaker 1: it right, kind of see what I like, how they're doing, 253 00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:51,800 Speaker 1: and then pick after them, and then watch my own film, 254 00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:53,440 Speaker 1: see out what I like and what I don't like, 255 00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:56,120 Speaker 1: and continue to push on the things that i'd like 256 00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:58,280 Speaker 1: and then improve on the things I don't like. How's 257 00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:00,960 Speaker 1: this defense? Mession? Front seven back in? What do you 258 00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:02,520 Speaker 1: What have you seen so far? Yeah, we got a 259 00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:04,480 Speaker 1: lot of different pieces. I think, you know, a few 260 00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:06,839 Speaker 1: people go down and other people step out, so it's 261 00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:08,920 Speaker 1: it's nice to see that how much depthely have and 262 00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:12,080 Speaker 1: then also just how the different people and different pieces 263 00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:14,240 Speaker 1: fit together. And I think we're really starting to best. 264 00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:16,200 Speaker 1: I know it's preseason game, but gonna be good to 265 00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:18,920 Speaker 1: be in front of that energy stadium crowd. Yeah, no question, 266 00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:21,640 Speaker 1: you know, Houston's the best, best best crowd in the world, 267 00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:23,840 Speaker 1: and so uh, preseason or nine, I know they're gonna 268 00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:26,240 Speaker 1: be loud and uh and I'm I'm really excited, all right, 269 00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:28,440 Speaker 1: Dylan Cole, Thank you so much for the time. Best 270 00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:31,560 Speaker 1: of luck tonight. Appreciate it. Dylan had a great game 271 00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:33,880 Speaker 1: against Green Bay. He wasn't there for a lot of snaps. 272 00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:38,520 Speaker 1: He started because I don't believe Zach Zack didn't play, 273 00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:40,480 Speaker 1: so he started next to b Mack and they didn't 274 00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:43,080 Speaker 1: play much together. Look, Dylan Cole, for a guy that 275 00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:47,760 Speaker 1: maybe won't start every game this year, is as important 276 00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:51,240 Speaker 1: as a twelfth or thirteenth man on this defense. Could be. 277 00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:53,720 Speaker 1: He's gonna see time on the field and sub package. 278 00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:56,920 Speaker 1: He's gonna see time on the field to spell bows 279 00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:59,120 Speaker 1: Zach and b Mac and I would imagine they're gonna 280 00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:00,640 Speaker 1: be times where they just want to have Dylan Cole 281 00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:02,800 Speaker 1: in the field. They're gonna need his speed. They're gonna 282 00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:04,720 Speaker 1: need him to cover backside of the backfield. They're gonna 283 00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:07,079 Speaker 1: need him to play against teams that run all his 284 00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,520 Speaker 1: zone read because that speed. He told me that he 285 00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:14,800 Speaker 1: ran a fourth three eight onnofficial. Now nobody has said 286 00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:16,880 Speaker 1: they agree with that. They're like, no, no, I don't 287 00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:18,520 Speaker 1: believe that. I don't believe that. That's kind of been 288 00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:20,400 Speaker 1: what I've heard when I've done the forty with people 289 00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:22,400 Speaker 1: and in fact, you'll hear it from Peter Kalambayi here 290 00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:24,480 Speaker 1: after a little while what he thought about that. But 291 00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:28,800 Speaker 1: Dylan could run and you saw that into practices this week. 292 00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:31,440 Speaker 1: But one of the things about Dylan is he's so smart. 293 00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:34,959 Speaker 1: He knows where the ball is going, He reads eyes, 294 00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:39,839 Speaker 1: he reads formations, heat understands the game at a different 295 00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:42,040 Speaker 1: level than a lot of guys do. So I'm excited 296 00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:44,560 Speaker 1: to see what Dylan Cole is able to bring on 297 00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:47,000 Speaker 1: Saturday night. I imagine we'll see him for a little bit, 298 00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:49,600 Speaker 1: but to have him healthy for a full sixteen games, 299 00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:52,679 Speaker 1: that's what I can't wait for. Because if you got 300 00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:55,080 Speaker 1: b Max, Zach and Dylan Cole healthy, there's a lot 301 00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:58,000 Speaker 1: you can do with that linebacking corps, a lot of 302 00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:01,400 Speaker 1: different movements, a lot of different scheme stuff you can do, 303 00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:04,480 Speaker 1: personnel groupings you can have on the defensive side of 304 00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:08,560 Speaker 1: the ball. So excited to see what Dylan Cole brings 305 00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:11,040 Speaker 1: on Saturday, amongst others. So there you go, a little 306 00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:13,640 Speaker 1: Bill O'Brien and a little Dylan Cole for you. Now 307 00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:15,920 Speaker 1: let's keep it with the players as we go to 308 00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:19,640 Speaker 1: our next segment.

I mean, 351 00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:02,480 Speaker 1: what's I love going to that event because I don't 352 00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:04,520 Speaker 1: get any of that down on the sidelines. Man, it 353 00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:06,959 Speaker 1: kind of stinks.

So there you go. All right, 358 00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:19,320 Speaker 1: let's hear from some of the guys. Let's start with 359 00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:22,679 Speaker 1: long snapper extraordinary. John Weeks went one on one with 360 00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:26,800 Speaker 1: the voice of Texans Mark vandermir the longest tenured Texan. 361 00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:29,000 Speaker 1: What does that mean to you? Man? That means a 362 00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:31,440 Speaker 1: lot to me, you know, especially for someone in my position. 363 00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:34,160 Speaker 1: M You know, I think I think when you think 364 00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:35,560 Speaker 1: of a long snapper, if you can think of a 365 00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:39,719 Speaker 1: someone who's reliable. That's the best compliment you can have. 366 00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:41,400 Speaker 1: So to be able to be here for ten years 367 00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:43,520 Speaker 1: with a great organization, I'm very blessed and I've enjoyed 368 00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:46,040 Speaker 1: every minute of it. If I tell Young John Weeks 369 00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:48,200 Speaker 1: coming out of Baylor that he's gonna be the longest 370 00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:52,240 Speaker 1: tenured player in this organization going into the twenty nineteen season, 371 00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:56,920 Speaker 1: what's young young John Weeks saying? He's probably speechless, to 372 00:17:57,040 --> 00:18:00,240 Speaker 1: be honest with you, probably very grateful again, and for 373 00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:02,600 Speaker 1: the opportunity to even come out here and do what 374 00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:05,359 Speaker 1: he loves to do. And you know, it's something I 375 00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:07,679 Speaker 1: definitely I don't take any days for granted. Um, I 376 00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:09,480 Speaker 1: know how lessed I am to be out here doing 377 00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:11,760 Speaker 1: it with all these guys, and I've enjoyed every second. 378 00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:15,920 Speaker 1: We have documented your offseason workout routine from time to time. 379 00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:18,480 Speaker 1: Has it changed? Have you adjusted it as the years 380 00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:22,120 Speaker 1: go on. I'm always looking to make adjustments. I'm always 381 00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:24,440 Speaker 1: looking to find tune everything. You know, as I get older, 382 00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:26,160 Speaker 1: I got to stay up with all the young guys, 383 00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:28,360 Speaker 1: so I do whatever I can to make sure I'm 384 00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:30,119 Speaker 1: in the best shape possible when I show up. So 385 00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:32,880 Speaker 1: it does it changes, it adjusts. It's a revolving door. 386 00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:35,040 Speaker 1: I'm open for anything new. So if people got ideas, 387 00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:38,119 Speaker 1: let me know. What about special teams practice? How has 388 00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:40,720 Speaker 1: that changed with Brad Seely coming in last year the 389 00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:43,560 Speaker 1: improvements and now this year year two under his regime 390 00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:45,959 Speaker 1: in that department. Yeah, I mean, Coach Seeley has done 391 00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:49,080 Speaker 1: an amazing job with the units and with the coaching, 392 00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:51,679 Speaker 1: and I think it's shown on the field. And I 393 00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:54,159 Speaker 1: think the other aspect of it is that guys have 394 00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:56,480 Speaker 1: really bought into special teams the last couple of years 395 00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:59,160 Speaker 1: and bought into just how important it was, and it's 396 00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:00,840 Speaker 1: really shown up out there, and I think it's gonna 397 00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:04,040 Speaker 1: be a strength for this team. Can you over snap? 398 00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:06,119 Speaker 1: Are you on some sort of count during practice? You 399 00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:07,919 Speaker 1: don't want to overdo it? No? I'm serious, because it 400 00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:10,119 Speaker 1: is a skill and you don't want to overdo it. No. What, 401 00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:12,159 Speaker 1: I'm very blessed that the guy that taught me how 402 00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:14,359 Speaker 1: to do it made me snap a lot of balls 403 00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:18,480 Speaker 1: early in my lifetime. So I don't think I can oversnap. 404 00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:20,280 Speaker 1: I know I'll snap a lot of footballs, but I 405 00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:23,359 Speaker 1: don't think I can oversnap Mark. How do you like 406 00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:26,240 Speaker 1: making a tackle. I mean, does that like something extra special? 407 00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:27,880 Speaker 1: Little icing on the cake for you when you get 408 00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:30,239 Speaker 1: to do that. Absolutely, I love. I love getting out 409 00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:31,800 Speaker 1: there and mixing it up with the guys and showing 410 00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:33,399 Speaker 1: them I'm willing to stick my head in there and 411 00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:36,760 Speaker 1: do what I can to help the team. So you know, 412 00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:40,080 Speaker 1: anytime a tackle presents itself, I try to take advantage 413 00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:41,760 Speaker 1: of it and just do what I can. So Matt 414 00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:44,560 Speaker 1: Prader just came up and said, facing the franchise, He's 415 00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:48,760 Speaker 1: one to talk facing the franchise forever. Matt Prador. All right, 416 00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:50,440 Speaker 1: John dikes a lot. Good luck to see x Mark. 417 00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:53,680 Speaker 1: Appreciate him, my guy. Love having week see on our air. 418 00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:56,960 Speaker 1: He's such a good dude, such a great interview as well. 419 00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:00,199 Speaker 1: It's good to have him on. All right. Stay with 420 00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:05,960 Speaker 1: sort of a special team's angle here. Punt returner, kickoff returner, 421 00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:08,720 Speaker 1: slot receiver who I thought had a couple of really 422 00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:12,680 Speaker 1: good days. DeAndre Carter. So one on one interview. It's 423 00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:15,440 Speaker 1: a deep slant interview presented by Exfinity from Deep City. 424 00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:19,440 Speaker 1: DeAndre Carter and Deepcitter go one on one Deep Slant 425 00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:21,159 Speaker 1: one on one percent of by Exfinity, joining us to 426 00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:23,440 Speaker 1: DeAndre Carter. DeAndre, I feel like today every time I 427 00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:26,080 Speaker 1: heard cheering, you're up, they're making a tremendous catch. How 428 00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:27,919 Speaker 1: does it feel to be back? You missed obviously a 429 00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:30,040 Speaker 1: little bit of camp early on, but now you're back. Yeah, 430 00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:32,320 Speaker 1: because it's gonna be back out there, get out there 431 00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:35,400 Speaker 1: working with the guys, working to get better man every day, 432 00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:37,879 Speaker 1: improving so we get ready for the season. It's been 433 00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:39,880 Speaker 1: the biggest challenge for you. You've had a week since 434 00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:42,159 Speaker 1: you came off the pup. You seem like you've just 435 00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:45,760 Speaker 1: transitioned really nicely back into the offense and into special teams. 436 00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:47,000 Speaker 1: But haw has there been a part of it that's 437 00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:50,120 Speaker 1: been challenging. Yeah. Yeah, just getting my timing back, slowing 438 00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:52,240 Speaker 1: myself down a little bit, and getting into shape. Obviously 439 00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:55,320 Speaker 1: getting used to this Houston heat, So getting in shape, 440 00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:57,919 Speaker 1: working on my timing with the shawan and in my 441 00:20:57,960 --> 00:20:59,720 Speaker 1: route running everything. It's probably been the most thing I've 442 00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:01,640 Speaker 1: been working. You were not with the Texans in camp 443 00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:04,280 Speaker 1: last year. Obviously you joined the team later on in 444 00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:06,879 Speaker 1: the season from Philly, So what has camp been like 445 00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:09,120 Speaker 1: for you? Have you adjusted to the heat in your time? 446 00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:10,840 Speaker 1: Here's what's the trickiest part of that. For you, it's 447 00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:12,000 Speaker 1: been a grind. It's been a grind, but we've been 448 00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:15,280 Speaker 1: getting better. We're attacking it every day for full speed ahead. 449 00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:17,919 Speaker 1: But for me, I mean, I don't think you really 450 00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:19,840 Speaker 1: get used to this heat. But uh, you gotta get 451 00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:22,359 Speaker 1: out here. You gotta work every day. Regards to the secontazes, 452 00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:24,120 Speaker 1: I'm out on special teams. You do such a number 453 00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:27,119 Speaker 1: of things on special teams. Your return game, Brad Seeley, 454 00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:29,440 Speaker 1: special teams coordinator, said, you've got a coolness about you. 455 00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:32,040 Speaker 1: So despite the heat, you're keeping it very cool. How 456 00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:33,680 Speaker 1: does that feel for you getting back there now we're 457 00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:36,080 Speaker 1: returning kicks once again? That sounds good. Uh, you know 458 00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:38,159 Speaker 1: it's one of my main roles, uh here on the 459 00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:40,359 Speaker 1: team hopefully you know, I win that job for the 460 00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:43,040 Speaker 1: regular season. But when you once you've done it in 461 00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:46,240 Speaker 1: a game in a regular season a few times out 462 00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:48,160 Speaker 1: here in practice, you know, he's kind of more relaxed. 463 00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:51,639 Speaker 1: I wouldn't say less pressure, but more relax So I 464 00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:53,800 Speaker 1: guess that the cool INITs you see the coolness, the 465 00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:55,639 Speaker 1: cool and you've been a little confidence because you you 466 00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:57,919 Speaker 1: returned some kicks for this team last year. You led 467 00:21:57,960 --> 00:21:59,680 Speaker 1: the team when you went back and faced your former team, 468 00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:02,680 Speaker 1: the Eagle, and then you've got to entire offseason under 469 00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:04,159 Speaker 1: your belt to sort of get used to this offense. 470 00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:05,920 Speaker 1: How much has that helped you this time around? A lot? 471 00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:07,400 Speaker 1: A lot. You know, that time off that I had 472 00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:10,320 Speaker 1: really helped me in terms of being able to sit 473 00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:13,320 Speaker 1: back and study football, you know, just and in general, 474 00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:17,040 Speaker 1: study defenses, coverages. Uh, you know, get used to what 475 00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:20,479 Speaker 1: deshauns likes to throw and how he sees different coverages 476 00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:22,200 Speaker 1: with adjustments he likes to see. So at that time 477 00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:23,959 Speaker 1: off really helped me just being able to sit back 478 00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:27,000 Speaker 1: and study, get us our offense and see coverages. How 479 00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:28,919 Speaker 1: important is this preseason game for you? Getting out there 480 00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:31,280 Speaker 1: and getting some game preps? Every game is important, preseason, 481 00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:33,800 Speaker 1: regular season, playoffs. Uh, It's all important.

I think another important 485 00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:41,119 Speaker 1: story about you is the fact that you used to 486 00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:43,560 Speaker 1: be substitute teachers.

The more you know, the 496 00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:05,840 Speaker 1: more stuff where you gonna be alive. Who was your 497 00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:08,800 Speaker 1: favorite subject in school? My favorite subject was English. I'm 498 00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:12,200 Speaker 1: pretty good writer, so English. Maybe you can ghostwrite for 499 00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:14,320 Speaker 1: us sometimes on Houston Texans dot Com. Hey, you hit 500 00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:15,359 Speaker 1: me up, I can do it. I can do it. 501 00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:17,000 Speaker 1: You know good stuff. You're doing great things on the 502 00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:19,840 Speaker 1: field as well. DeAndre Carter thinks so much. I'm gonna 503 00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:22,479 Speaker 1: start nicknaming that man teach. My wife and I are 504 00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:24,359 Speaker 1: known as coaching teach because when we first got married, 505 00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:27,320 Speaker 1: our our nephews, nieces and nephews, we were coaching teach 506 00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:29,399 Speaker 1: because we were teachers and coach that separated us from 507 00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:33,159 Speaker 1: everybody else. DeAndre Carter is now teach. I love the 508 00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:34,800 Speaker 1: fact that he taught in a class. I just I 509 00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:36,280 Speaker 1: love that. I love that. I want to sit down 510 00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:38,600 Speaker 1: on him at one point, teacher to teacher and have 511 00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:41,879 Speaker 1: that conversation because it is such a unique occupation. Obviously, 512 00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:44,439 Speaker 1: I grew up with teachers in my family, and my 513 00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:48,560 Speaker 1: wife became teacher, My mother in law was in education, 514 00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:50,400 Speaker 1: my father and always an education for a long time, 515 00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:53,159 Speaker 1: so that teaching thing runs deep in my blood. And 516 00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:56,639 Speaker 1: I think DeAndre Carter would be a fantastic, fantastic teacher, 517 00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:59,800 Speaker 1: but he's got a lot of NFL ball left to 518 00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:02,879 Speaker 1: play with a big one on Saturday night. Now. I 519 00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:05,320 Speaker 1: presented this question to Justin Reed a few days ago, 520 00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:07,800 Speaker 1: and I told him, I said, to Stanford, guys, the 521 00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:12,159 Speaker 1: four of y'all are in an escape room. Who leads 522 00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:17,440 Speaker 1: you out? Now? His answer was, well, you'll find out. 523 00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:20,720 Speaker 1: I asked that same question Peter CALLUMBAYI and I gave 524 00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:23,680 Speaker 1: him the answer that Justin gave me, and I gave 525 00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:26,280 Speaker 1: him the opportunity to answer what he thought. Here's Peter 526 00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:29,320 Speaker 1: CALLUMBAII going forty yards with me. They number fifteen at 527 00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:31,720 Speaker 1: training camp, or it feels like about one hundred. I 528 00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:34,480 Speaker 1: got my man p K. Peter callum Bay with me. Peter, 529 00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:38,840 Speaker 1: what's going on, man, Okay, we start off every forty 530 00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:41,639 Speaker 1: the same way. I don't think of personal because I 531 00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:42,960 Speaker 1: know this is gonna be a pretty good number. What 532 00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:46,240 Speaker 1: was your fastest forty time? Ever? Um? I ran a 533 00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:48,560 Speaker 1: four four of my hand clad from my high school coach, 534 00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:53,879 Speaker 1: oh combine four five. Okay, So Dylan Cole told us 535 00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:56,880 Speaker 1: that he ran a four to three eight unofficial true 536 00:24:56,920 --> 00:24:59,399 Speaker 1: or false? I'm gonna stay false. I think he might 537 00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:03,680 Speaker 1: have run a four four oh four three eighth little fast, though, 538 00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:07,159 Speaker 1: I don't know. Inside versus outside. You're asked to do 539 00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:09,159 Speaker 1: a lot of different things, and you've played both. I 540 00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:11,400 Speaker 1: saw you at Stanford played a lot offerent spots, playing 541 00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:13,640 Speaker 1: here a lot offer spots. What's the difference in inside 542 00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:15,399 Speaker 1: and outside? It's the biggest difference for you, you know. 543 00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:17,639 Speaker 1: Outside linebacker is more like you have a guy right 544 00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:19,159 Speaker 1: in front of you, and you gotta set the edge 545 00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:20,480 Speaker 1: on him or just play what you see right in 546 00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:22,720 Speaker 1: front of you. Inside linebacker, you're off the ball, so 547 00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:24,920 Speaker 1: you gotta see the whole picture. You gotta see the formation. 548 00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:27,680 Speaker 1: You gotta see the receivers, the front, the running backs, 549 00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:30,280 Speaker 1: the quarterback. So it's it's a lot more your vision 550 00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:32,800 Speaker 1: has expanded. Your peripheral division matters a lot more. So 551 00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:37,679 Speaker 1: those are the biggest differences. Scarlett, Batamosi, Reid, and Calumbady 552 00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:41,639 Speaker 1: are in an escape room. Who's the one guy to 553 00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:46,640 Speaker 1: lead them out? To lead us out? Scarlett? Scarlett's gonna 554 00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:49,320 Speaker 1: come up with a plan and it's gonna work. Justin 555 00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:51,680 Speaker 1: said it was here and said there was no doubt. No, 556 00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:55,280 Speaker 1: it's definitely Scarlett. I love Justin, but Justin will bring 557 00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:58,159 Speaker 1: the energy. Yeah, who who'll kind of wake yourself good 558 00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:01,480 Speaker 1: as going? But ultimately Scarlet is the man with playing 559 00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:05,240 Speaker 1: all right. Who's the one linebacker inside outside doesn't matter, 560 00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:09,520 Speaker 1: the one linebacker most likely to get fined, fined because 561 00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:12,640 Speaker 1: he hits so hard. There is Peter Commby Pek, thanks brother, 562 00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:15,920 Speaker 1: appreciate it four yards Peter Cambye. Well, there's one vote 563 00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:18,960 Speaker 1: from Calumbay for Scarlett. I would imagine Scarlett would say 564 00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:21,919 Speaker 1: Scarlett sets two votes. I'll have to ask batam Osy 565 00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:25,520 Speaker 1: and Justin Reid thought it was him, So I think 566 00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:28,080 Speaker 1: Brendan Scarlett's gonna come out ahead. So I would like 567 00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:30,280 Speaker 1: to see that. Maybe maybe we put that together, Maybe 568 00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:32,960 Speaker 1: we put the four Stanford guys in escape room next 569 00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:36,879 Speaker 1: offseason and see who leads them out. Let them, let 570 00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:39,280 Speaker 1: them fight over it. But Peter did give props to 571 00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:44,080 Speaker 1: his boy, Justin reid Um, who left practice on Thursday 572 00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:45,960 Speaker 1: a little bankd up. So Hopeully he's gonna be okay. 573 00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:50,160 Speaker 1: But that guy is hugely important to this defense, no doubt. 574 00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:52,440 Speaker 1: And Peter Cambay is as well. I think play inside, 575 00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:56,200 Speaker 1: could play outside. He's gonna have a huge showcase on 576 00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:58,360 Speaker 1: Saturday night, probably get a ton of reps on both 577 00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:01,600 Speaker 1: special teams and an inside linebacker that's Peter Callum by 578 00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:05,280 Speaker 1: DeAndre Carter and John Weeks. All right, we get back, 579 00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:08,800 Speaker 1: what's the impact of Duke Johnson? Well, you're in the 580 00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:12,080 Speaker 1: lab duo. Drew Doherty and myself sat down and discussed 581 00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:15,040 Speaker 1: what he can do for this team. Will for you next? 582 00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:18,280 Speaker 1: Right here in Texas Auccess, we are ever so close 583 00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:22,320 Speaker 1: to kicking off on Saturday at seven o'clock, almost twenty 584 00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:26,000 Speaker 1: or twenty four hours and I don't know, fifteen twenty 585 00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:30,040 Speaker 1: minutes away.

I believe I will 595 00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:01,560 Speaker 1: make an appearance when we have home games. Usually I 596 00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:04,720 Speaker 1: pop on.

Mainly, 611 00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:51,520 Speaker 1: let's get some things cleaned up. Let's get the turnovers 612 00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:53,959 Speaker 1: taken care of. Let's make sure the procedure and offsides 613 00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:57,240 Speaker 1: penalties don't hamper what has been a pretty good week 614 00:28:57,320 --> 00:28:59,640 Speaker 1: thus far. And if you get a w great, Let's 615 00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:03,800 Speaker 1: get out there with everybody healthy and out of the 616 00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:06,840 Speaker 1: first couple weeks of the preseason doing okay and get 617 00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:10,040 Speaker 1: ready for Dallas next Saturday. And then that gets you 618 00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:12,400 Speaker 1: into week four and then before you know it, snap 619 00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:13,840 Speaker 1: your fingers and you're in the game week of the 620 00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:16,080 Speaker 1: Saints and then you're there Monday night against the New 621 00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:19,160 Speaker 1: Orleans Saints to start the season. So it'll go that 622 00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:23,320 Speaker 1: quickly kinda. But I'm just glad that we were playing 623 00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:25,160 Speaker 1: a preseason game home to be in front of the 624 00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:28,040 Speaker 1: home fans, and it's gonna be fun. Hopefully you guys 625 00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:30,000 Speaker 1: will check out all that we have to offer on radio, 626 00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:32,480 Speaker 1: on TV, on the internet, on our social media packages, 627 00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:36,040 Speaker 1: whatever it is that you need, We've got it for you. Now. 628 00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:39,080 Speaker 1: The Texans last week of this time made official that 629 00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:42,040 Speaker 1: they traded for Duke Johnson. Now, we will not see 630 00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:45,760 Speaker 1: Duke Johnson on Saturday against the Detroit Lions, but hopefully 631 00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:48,120 Speaker 1: that is coming, and when it does, it can be 632 00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:51,280 Speaker 1: pretty exciting. Drew Doherty and I sat down with our 633 00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:55,360 Speaker 1: in the Lab podcast and broke down why it's exciting, 634 00:29:55,560 --> 00:30:01,520 Speaker 1: what we can expect to see from Duke Johnson. But first, well, 635 00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:04,440 Speaker 1: a note about being in Green Bay. It's do an 636 00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:07,200 Speaker 1: extra day, let's get an extray of work in, let's 637 00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:09,520 Speaker 1: stay in this weather because we're here. We're gonna talk 638 00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:12,480 Speaker 1: about Duke in just second. But the one of the 639 00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:20,320 Speaker 1: the clearest, most accurate things I've heard in my time 640 00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:23,000 Speaker 1: here with the Texans came from Brandon done last week 641 00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:27,320 Speaker 1: and I was asking him just a just a simple question, like, hey, 642 00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:29,520 Speaker 1: how do you how do you cool off after a 643 00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:34,200 Speaker 1: hot Texans practice in Houston? And he was like, man, 644 00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:36,120 Speaker 1: it's great up here in Green Bay. It's you know, 645 00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:39,280 Speaker 1: I don't have to do this, but in Houston you 646 00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:42,040 Speaker 1: just basically have to get fifteen minutes to get your 647 00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:44,040 Speaker 1: life back together. Yeah. I was like, what what do 648 00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:47,120 Speaker 1: you mean. He's like, well, after you showers, she's got 649 00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:50,880 Speaker 1: a cool off getting your locker. Just stop and just 650 00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:54,480 Speaker 1: get your life back together and think about He's like, 651 00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:56,600 Speaker 1: think about what you did in practice, think about your 652 00:30:56,760 --> 00:31:00,120 Speaker 1: your life in general. But it's just so hot and 653 00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:03,680 Speaker 1: so mercilessly hot that it wears on you and you 654 00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:06,160 Speaker 1: gotta get your life back together. And so I thought 655 00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:09,400 Speaker 1: about that every single day since after a practice. It's 656 00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:11,040 Speaker 1: been about a week now since I interviewed him, and 657 00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:13,240 Speaker 1: I was like, God, Lee that he really, he really 658 00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:15,680 Speaker 1: and all it Because we're out there in a golf shirt, 659 00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:20,160 Speaker 1: you know, it's dry fit, and some shorts, and we 660 00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:22,320 Speaker 1: go inside from time to time to go to use 661 00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:24,680 Speaker 1: the restroom, get some water and cool off, get out 662 00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:27,040 Speaker 1: of the heat. Those guys are in pads, helmets, doing 663 00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:30,840 Speaker 1: physically demanding work. And I can't imagine, you know, and 664 00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:33,080 Speaker 1: I gotta get my life back again. I can't imagine 665 00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:35,320 Speaker 1: them getting their life back together. I know over the weekend. 666 00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:37,200 Speaker 1: The weekend. The weekends would really hit me when we 667 00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:40,640 Speaker 1: got back because Friday was a long day for us. 668 00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:42,920 Speaker 1: I mean, we had and we had extra points. Thursday 669 00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:45,000 Speaker 1: night late I don't think. We got back to the 670 00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:49,160 Speaker 1: hotel to like twelve fifteen, twelve thirty, and then I 671 00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:51,560 Speaker 1: used stayed up to right. I stayed up to right, 672 00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:54,160 Speaker 1: so we were probably up to like one forty five 673 00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:55,640 Speaker 1: or two, and then we took off out of Green 674 00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:58,800 Speaker 1: Bay at four forty five and one, so and then 675 00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:01,000 Speaker 1: it was just kind of plane to trans automobiles that day. 676 00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:04,760 Speaker 1: And then so we got in like noon, I had 677 00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:06,440 Speaker 1: to come here, and I had texted Mark and I 678 00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:09,560 Speaker 1: was like, usually Fridays my day. I said, look, I'm 679 00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:13,440 Speaker 1: blused to do the show together because I'm gassed. And 680 00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:15,080 Speaker 1: so we did the show Friday, but I felt that 681 00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:16,440 Speaker 1: Saturday and Sunday it was kind of the same thing. 682 00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:19,160 Speaker 1: We were outside and the fans were there both Saturday 683 00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:21,800 Speaker 1: and Sunday. And so when I got done with practice, 684 00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:23,360 Speaker 1: I just walked in and I just I sat in 685 00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:27,240 Speaker 1: my chair just like I mean, like, okay, I gotta 686 00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:29,480 Speaker 1: literally say, you just have to sit there because it's 687 00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:32,880 Speaker 1: so oppressively hot. But it was really fun experience in 688 00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:34,720 Speaker 1: Green Bay. I love being down the sidelines with you man. 689 00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:36,200 Speaker 1: It was a really fun segment. We just cool TV. 690 00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:37,880 Speaker 1: So it was a really good time in Green Bay, 691 00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:39,400 Speaker 1: and I'm with you. I hope we do that again. 692 00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:42,280 Speaker 1: We are gonna do the sideline thing this weekend and 693 00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:43,800 Speaker 1: in the third game and in the fourth game. It's 694 00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:46,000 Speaker 1: gonna be fun. I think we're gonna stick it with 695 00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:49,280 Speaker 1: the offense this week. Yeah, so be prepared to do that. 696 00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:51,800 Speaker 1: I know you will be, and thank you for doing that. 697 00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:54,960 Speaker 1: It's fun. It's kind of like a pair down version 698 00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:58,000 Speaker 1: of this. Yes, last exactly right, But let's move on. 699 00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:00,880 Speaker 1: Duke Johnson was acquired, and he was acquired on game 700 00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:03,160 Speaker 1: day last week. We didn't really get a chance you 701 00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:06,280 Speaker 1: and I to talk too too much about him. We've 702 00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:09,240 Speaker 1: talked offline about him, but not on the air, and 703 00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:13,880 Speaker 1: basically a few things have stood out to me hearing 704 00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:17,440 Speaker 1: Bill O'Brien chit chat about Duke Johnson. He was very 705 00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:20,480 Speaker 1: clear in his first meeting with the media where he 706 00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:23,240 Speaker 1: could actually talk about it after the deal became official. 707 00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:26,200 Speaker 1: He's very clear to say he's a first down, second 708 00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:29,680 Speaker 1: down and third down back. He's a complete running back 709 00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:33,120 Speaker 1: because he's been viewed as a third down back in 710 00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:35,760 Speaker 1: his career. He's caught the ball very well out of 711 00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:38,920 Speaker 1: the Backfield's basically the best at that in the NFL 712 00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:42,640 Speaker 1: over the last five six years. But it was very telling. 713 00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:45,120 Speaker 1: I thought that O'Brien said those things about him, and 714 00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:47,520 Speaker 1: then he also acknowledged, yeah, he's good at catching the football. 715 00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:52,719 Speaker 1: But ultimately it's one more weapon around to Shaun Watson. 716 00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:55,360 Speaker 1: And for the last two years we've been hearing two 717 00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:59,400 Speaker 1: main things, basically sword and shield. Give to Sean Watson 718 00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:03,480 Speaker 1: weapons and protect him. You know, sword and shield. You 719 00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:05,920 Speaker 1: definitely got the sword part down and you're working on 720 00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:09,160 Speaker 1: the shield part, trying to improve that. But I really 721 00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:12,480 Speaker 1: love this addition to things because now you've got a 722 00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:15,680 Speaker 1: soup of guys behind Lamar Miller and behind Duke Johnson. 723 00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:18,200 Speaker 1: Duke get it out for that third spot, maybe the 724 00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:21,800 Speaker 1: fourth spot too. But I'm a big fan of this, 725 00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:26,040 Speaker 1: and I think another dimension, another pass catcher that can 726 00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:28,160 Speaker 1: do things with the ball, gonna help this offen sound 727 00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:30,600 Speaker 1: gonna help the Shawn Watson. I like your sword and 728 00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:32,560 Speaker 1: shield comparison. I mean, I think that's that's pretty much 729 00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:36,680 Speaker 1: dead on. You talk about handing the Shawn weapons and 730 00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:38,680 Speaker 1: getting giving him ups. I mean, look, he's the ultimate 731 00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:42,120 Speaker 1: weapon at quarterback. But if you if you protect him, 732 00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:44,840 Speaker 1: but then you give him opportunities. You know, guys with 733 00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:48,279 Speaker 1: some twitch, I mean opportunities help with the protection, right, 734 00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:50,960 Speaker 1: And we talked about that after the Colts game last 735 00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:54,440 Speaker 1: year in particular. You know, Kiki QT went out. K 736 00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:56,600 Speaker 1: QT had been out and the ABDC Carter got hurt 737 00:34:56,640 --> 00:34:57,759 Speaker 1: in that game. I think he ended up with a 738 00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:00,560 Speaker 1: concussion of that game. So at one point you had 739 00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:02,960 Speaker 1: to Marius Thomas, Joe Webb and Deandrew Hopkins. As you're 740 00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:05,719 Speaker 1: through wide receivers the one thing you didn't have. Do 741 00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:08,480 Speaker 1: you have me twitch which you wanted? Okay, well, what's 742 00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:11,560 Speaker 1: what's twitched? Well? Think about how quick Kiki QT gets 743 00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:13,959 Speaker 1: in and out of his routes. I mean, the quicker 744 00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:16,040 Speaker 1: you get out of your route, and the quicker you are, 745 00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:18,200 Speaker 1: the opportunity you have, the opportunity to Sean has to 746 00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:19,959 Speaker 1: get the ball out of his hands, and Shaan didn't 747 00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:23,360 Speaker 1: have that. Now, those guys are three big, physical receivers, 748 00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:26,880 Speaker 1: and if you would have had the nineteen seventy six 749 00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:29,640 Speaker 1: Oakland Raiders laffensive line in front that could protect the 750 00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:31,759 Speaker 1: Sean for ten twelve seconds, then those guys would have 751 00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:33,600 Speaker 1: gotten open, would have caught the ball. It would have 752 00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:35,319 Speaker 1: been fine, but be kind of nice to bring back 753 00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:42,120 Speaker 1: our shell. Yeah, we do that. Maybe what to think 754 00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:44,080 Speaker 1: about that? Maybe? And hey, well we're at let's add 755 00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:48,399 Speaker 1: in Anthony Munios from the mid eighties and Bruce Matthews. Yeah, 756 00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:50,840 Speaker 1: let's bring them all back. I'm cool. That'd be fifteen 757 00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:53,040 Speaker 1: seconds of past protection would be awesome. Wait, we're getting 758 00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:55,239 Speaker 1: too in the labish here, let's get back to But 759 00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:57,880 Speaker 1: the the point being with a guy like Duke Johnson, 760 00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:01,840 Speaker 1: he's got that scene which just in a different form, 761 00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:04,320 Speaker 1: just in a running back for him. But that I 762 00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:07,160 Speaker 1: think is it's almost like we have to create a 763 00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:11,000 Speaker 1: new position nowadays, and Duke sort of plays that position 764 00:36:11,080 --> 00:36:13,480 Speaker 1: because he's got such good wide receiving. He's got good 765 00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:16,640 Speaker 1: receiving skills. But the one thing I think people have 766 00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:18,800 Speaker 1: keep they keep missing is the running back ability. And 767 00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:21,880 Speaker 1: I think Bill O'Brien hammering that home saying, look, this 768 00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:24,200 Speaker 1: guy can be a running back. It's one of the 769 00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:26,960 Speaker 1: first things he said, right, So very first things. You 770 00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:29,960 Speaker 1: get a three down runner and a guy or a 771 00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:33,279 Speaker 1: three down running back that can go out and catch 772 00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:35,560 Speaker 1: the ball, can match up on a linebacker and win 773 00:36:35,719 --> 00:36:39,000 Speaker 1: that matchup, unless that matchup is dealing cold and dealing. 774 00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:40,480 Speaker 1: Cold can run me down the field and make a pick, 775 00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:42,080 Speaker 1: because he did in rookie year when they met up. 776 00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:44,759 Speaker 1: But that said, Duke's gonna beat a lot of people 777 00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:46,279 Speaker 1: down the field. He's gonna beat a lot of people 778 00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:47,800 Speaker 1: into his routes. He can run good routes as a 779 00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:50,000 Speaker 1: running back, catches the ball to the backfield, and then 780 00:36:50,040 --> 00:36:52,839 Speaker 1: once he's out space, he's gonna make you He's gonna 781 00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:54,400 Speaker 1: make you miss. He can run you over. He's got 782 00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:56,200 Speaker 1: some power. You know, look like the biggest guy in 783 00:36:56,239 --> 00:36:59,279 Speaker 1: the world. But that doesn't matter because if a guy 784 00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:02,279 Speaker 1: runs with power, are explosive tacks a punch, right, and 785 00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:05,239 Speaker 1: that's what he does. So the one thing I do 786 00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:06,880 Speaker 1: think that you're going to see a lot of and 787 00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:08,960 Speaker 1: I've I've talked about this with Mark, and I think 788 00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:11,200 Speaker 1: you and I've talked maybe off areas you might see 789 00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:15,319 Speaker 1: some twenty personnel. And that's when we talk about number 790 00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:18,160 Speaker 1: of personnel. Eleven personnel, twelve personnel, twenty personnel. The first 791 00:37:18,239 --> 00:37:20,360 Speaker 1: number is number of running backs and the second is 792 00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:22,239 Speaker 1: number of tight ends. Because then you can do the 793 00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:23,799 Speaker 1: math because it's all got to add up to five. 794 00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:26,640 Speaker 1: That tells you how many receivers. So essentially twenty personnel 795 00:37:26,640 --> 00:37:28,920 Speaker 1: is two running backs, three wide receivers. Yeah, and no 796 00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:32,160 Speaker 1: tight ends. Now, when it's and when it's that, it's 797 00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:36,799 Speaker 1: it's two running backs, not a running back in a fullback. Right, 798 00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:39,240 Speaker 1: that is as rare as it gets in this offense. 799 00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:42,120 Speaker 1: And basically with this franchise, we've not seen that. Yeah, 800 00:37:42,520 --> 00:37:44,640 Speaker 1: what what you can do? And I go back to 801 00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:46,560 Speaker 1: and I'm trying to remember the game, and it happened 802 00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:49,319 Speaker 1: in a game last year, and it's happened before, not often. 803 00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:51,839 Speaker 1: It's like a unicorn sighting. But they would put out 804 00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:53,799 Speaker 1: from Blue Alamar Millery game the same time, and they 805 00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:56,120 Speaker 1: would they would stand in the shotgun on either side 806 00:37:56,120 --> 00:38:00,600 Speaker 1: of the sean and sometimes both would pass protect. Sometimes 807 00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:02,760 Speaker 1: one guy would going arount, one guy would pass protect. 808 00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:05,399 Speaker 1: They would change, sometimes one guy would go in motion. 809 00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:09,919 Speaker 1: But they would use that formation. But Alfred probably wasn't 810 00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:12,400 Speaker 1: the right fit for that personnel group. It was more 811 00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:15,920 Speaker 1: like having a fullback in a tailback. Now you put 812 00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:18,759 Speaker 1: Duke Johnson Lamar Miller in there together, and now you're 813 00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:21,320 Speaker 1: looking at it going because a little bit more confusion 814 00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:25,000 Speaker 1: for a defense right at that, No, there's no question. So, 815 00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:26,800 Speaker 1: I mean there's a lot. There's a lot that you 816 00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:28,759 Speaker 1: can do. I mean, I just think about the possibilities 817 00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:31,439 Speaker 1: of putting them. Let's so let's say that you take 818 00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:33,480 Speaker 1: you know, Lamar and the right, Duke on the left 819 00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:35,520 Speaker 1: and Lamar goes in motion out to the left side. 820 00:38:36,440 --> 00:38:39,520 Speaker 1: Dashawan rises up, fakes the throw out to the left 821 00:38:39,560 --> 00:38:42,160 Speaker 1: side too. I don't know it's qt as Lamar's going 822 00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:45,600 Speaker 1: out the block for him, fakes that, spins around, runs 823 00:38:45,600 --> 00:38:47,680 Speaker 1: the screen with Duke Johnson the other way. I mean, 824 00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:50,080 Speaker 1: there's just there are a lot of possibilities that you 825 00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:53,200 Speaker 1: can have in this offense when you have a few 826 00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:58,240 Speaker 1: weapons of that of that magnitude. And look, Lamar Lamar 827 00:38:58,520 --> 00:39:01,080 Speaker 1: at two hundred and fifty pounds, I mean, he's a 828 00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:04,000 Speaker 1: stout guy. But you just if you can take some 829 00:39:04,120 --> 00:39:06,880 Speaker 1: of the pounding away from him and again let him 830 00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:09,520 Speaker 1: be the maserati that he is that we saw in 831 00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:13,279 Speaker 1: fifteen Yeah, when he roasted the he has been. He's 832 00:39:13,280 --> 00:39:15,560 Speaker 1: been a grinded out guy because he's had to be. Ye. 833 00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:17,560 Speaker 1: But now if you get a guy like Duke Johnson 834 00:39:17,600 --> 00:39:19,560 Speaker 1: and say, okay, look, Lamar is gonna get these carries, 835 00:39:19,840 --> 00:39:22,759 Speaker 1: get these touches. The pass protection is better upfront. We 836 00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:24,719 Speaker 1: can use Lamar in a passing game a little bit 837 00:39:24,719 --> 00:39:27,399 Speaker 1: more because that's and people said, well, he hasn't caught, 838 00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:30,279 Speaker 1: but do you understand a lot of part. A lot 839 00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:32,240 Speaker 1: of that is the fact that he's had to protect. 840 00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:35,279 Speaker 1: And the flip side of that is he's a really 841 00:39:35,320 --> 00:39:37,640 Speaker 1: good pass protector, so you don't want to lose that. 842 00:39:38,360 --> 00:39:39,880 Speaker 1: But what you'd like to be able to say is 843 00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:43,480 Speaker 1: these five can protect against Therefore, we can put Lamar 844 00:39:43,560 --> 00:39:45,320 Speaker 1: Miller out and a route and he's gonna win against 845 00:39:45,320 --> 00:39:48,120 Speaker 1: the linebacker and Nicol's safety. We can put Duke Johnson 846 00:39:48,120 --> 00:39:50,680 Speaker 1: out and route, he's gonna win against linebacker and Nickel's safety, 847 00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:54,279 Speaker 1: and we're not gonna fear for Lamar DeShawn Watson's life 848 00:39:54,280 --> 00:39:56,320 Speaker 1: because he is being protected by his five guys or 849 00:39:56,400 --> 00:40:00,359 Speaker 1: his tight end. You now have just multi to pull 850 00:40:00,440 --> 00:40:03,160 Speaker 1: combinations of things that you can do, and there's no 851 00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:06,120 Speaker 1: fall off in the explosiveness at the running back position 852 00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:08,440 Speaker 1: when you put Duke Johnson in the game. So I 853 00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:10,960 Speaker 1: think it was a good deal. I'm really excited about it. 854 00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:14,279 Speaker 1: I'm glad that made the deal and looking forward to 855 00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:15,560 Speaker 1: what those two are gonna be able to do in 856 00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:17,839 Speaker 1: the backfield. Let's wrap it up, and I'm gonna wrap 857 00:40:17,920 --> 00:40:21,160 Speaker 1: it up with this idea. Someone that I really respect, 858 00:40:22,120 --> 00:40:25,600 Speaker 1: who's been around a while, knows quite a bit. I'm 859 00:40:25,600 --> 00:40:27,160 Speaker 1: not gonna give his name because I don't know that 860 00:40:27,520 --> 00:40:28,960 Speaker 1: he wants us out here as being the guy that 861 00:40:29,080 --> 00:40:33,600 Speaker 1: said this, but he said to me, he said, I 862 00:40:33,640 --> 00:40:37,400 Speaker 1: could see Duke Johnson being second on this team in 863 00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:40,440 Speaker 1: receptions next year, behind DeAndre Hopkins. And at first I 864 00:40:40,520 --> 00:40:41,960 Speaker 1: was like what, And then I thought about it, and 865 00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:45,640 Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, makes sense, makes sense. I think 866 00:40:46,040 --> 00:40:49,440 Speaker 1: the Texans would rather see Fuller and QT have more 867 00:40:49,680 --> 00:40:53,640 Speaker 1: catches than Duke, but I could see it happening if 868 00:40:53,719 --> 00:40:56,840 Speaker 1: Duke got the forty catches, so you got the forty catches. 869 00:40:58,120 --> 00:40:59,800 Speaker 1: Hopefully he's not second at that point, but if he 870 00:40:59,840 --> 00:41:02,040 Speaker 1: gets the forty catches, you know he's gonna make something 871 00:41:02,080 --> 00:41:06,040 Speaker 1: happen with those forty catches. So you know, with so 872 00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:09,000 Speaker 1: many different guys, I mean, the other night, fourteen different 873 00:41:09,040 --> 00:41:11,440 Speaker 1: guys caught a pass and sixteen different guys were targeted, 874 00:41:11,480 --> 00:41:13,440 Speaker 1: which I thought it was pretty phenomenal. I know, obviously 875 00:41:13,480 --> 00:41:14,960 Speaker 1: you won't have that many during the game, because you know, 876 00:41:15,080 --> 00:41:18,520 Speaker 1: I'm active. But to have a guy like Duke Johnson 877 00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:20,640 Speaker 1: that's gonna be able to catch two three balls a game, 878 00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:23,160 Speaker 1: tight ends are gonna catch, you know, hopefully five to 879 00:41:23,239 --> 00:41:25,279 Speaker 1: seven a game, and then the rest of them end 880 00:41:25,360 --> 00:41:27,960 Speaker 1: up between the three guys if they're healthy. I mean, 881 00:41:28,360 --> 00:41:31,480 Speaker 1: if you'd Sean Watson, it's just find the open guy. Yeah, 882 00:41:31,560 --> 00:41:32,960 Speaker 1: find the open guy and throw to him, because that 883 00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:35,320 Speaker 1: guy catching makes something happen. And the words of the 884 00:41:35,360 --> 00:41:39,160 Speaker 1: immortal Bart Scott can't wait to see Duke Johnson out 885 00:41:39,200 --> 00:41:41,239 Speaker 1: on this field. Won't happen Saturday, but it will happen 886 00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:44,800 Speaker 1: soon enough. And he is going to be a nice 887 00:41:45,120 --> 00:41:49,080 Speaker 1: piece to this offense when he is one hundred percent 888 00:41:49,200 --> 00:41:52,600 Speaker 1: healthy and rolling with Lamar Miller in that backfield amongst 889 00:41:52,600 --> 00:41:54,040 Speaker 1: the other guys, and they're gonna maxtly gonna be fun 890 00:41:54,080 --> 00:41:56,440 Speaker 1: to watch on Saturday. I've said it for week one. 891 00:41:56,520 --> 00:42:00,360 Speaker 1: I said again, Kron Higden, the Maria Crockett Goody petition 892 00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:02,640 Speaker 1: brewing between the two rookies. You got Taiwan Jones still 893 00:42:02,640 --> 00:42:05,840 Speaker 1: available in Josh Ferguson, and then what does Buddy Holland 894 00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:09,800 Speaker 1: Gillespie a bring Gillespie made a great catch against the Lions. 895 00:42:10,280 --> 00:42:12,400 Speaker 1: What does he bring when he goes in there at fullback? 896 00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:15,279 Speaker 1: Running Backs to me are very very intriguing, and Duke 897 00:42:15,360 --> 00:42:17,200 Speaker 1: Johnson hasn't even taken a snap of his team yet, 898 00:42:17,239 --> 00:42:19,960 Speaker 1: so she'll be fun on Saturday.

Gotta thank tylan Cole, Bill O'Brien, Mark Vanimir, 900 00:42:24,520 --> 00:42:29,360 Speaker 1: Drew Doherty, DeAndre Carter, dep City John Weeks, Peter Callumbody 901 00:42:30,080 --> 00:42:32,439 Speaker 1: and you guys, all of you for listening.
