1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,480
Speaker 1: We go on final segments Wednesday edition at Texans All Access.

2
00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:06,040
Speaker 1: I'm your host, John Harris, Football on a sideline reporter,

3
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:07,320
Speaker 1: and we're gonna close it down.

4
00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:08,440
Speaker 2: Talking some Titans.

5
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:13,000
Speaker 1: Jim Wyatt, senior writer for the Tennessee Titans, joined Mark

6
00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:16,800
Speaker 1: at the owners meetings. There's a lot been going on

7
00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:19,320
Speaker 1: in Nashville. Let's take a listen to Jim Wyatt, Mart Vanmuir.

8
00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:22,040
Speaker 3: Mean, here we are again at the NFL annual meeting.

9
00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:24,480
Speaker 3: All right, what was your first NFL meeting that you

10
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:26,720
Speaker 3: covered for the tennesseean back in the day.

11
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:28,880
Speaker 4: Well that I did not cover one for the with

12
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:32,000
Speaker 4: the Tennessee. We really spent nineteen ninety nine to two

13
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:35,280
Speaker 4: thousand and middle of twenty fifteen working for the Tennessee

14
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:38,680
Speaker 4: and cover the Titans. Never cover the NFL Owners meeting.

15
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:42,920
Speaker 4: Certainly from AFAR, I would get on an email distribution

16
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:45,519
Speaker 4: list that sometimes had a coaching transcript on there. I

17
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:48,360
Speaker 4: don't think I knew the value of the NFL Owners

18
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:52,519
Speaker 4: meetings back then, and certainly what they've become now and

19
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:56,120
Speaker 4: working for the team, it's something I wouldn't want to miss.

20
00:00:56,240 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 4: It's great access to your coach, your g people in

21
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:04,039
Speaker 4: your front office, get great access to people across the league,

22
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 4: get a lot of insight on what's going on across

23
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 4: the NFL, and so I hope to not miss one

24
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:13,560
Speaker 4: moving forward. And no, one's not a cheap trip. So

25
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 4: I always try to work hard when they get here

26
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 4: to make sure people know that their money is worth

27
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:19,480
Speaker 4: out of it. At least I try to make it

28
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 4: feel that way.

29
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:22,840
Speaker 3: How's it been covering Robert Solid so far? Your new

30
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 3: head Coach's been great. I mean he's a really uh,

31
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 3: you know, really good guy. That's the first thing I

32
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 3: noticed about him. You know good good man has a

33
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:35,680
Speaker 3: good family and his wife have eight kids. They sat

34
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 3: in front of him at the press conference when he

35
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:40,320
Speaker 3: was introduced. Uh, he's a no nonsense guy. I mean,

36
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 3: I know, I've heard a lot of stories about him,

37
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 3: just what he's like behind closed door doors as far

38
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 3: as being an inspirational coach, a motivator, a guy who

39
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 3: knows how to get his players to play hard for him.

40
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 3: You know, he's he has changed the feel and the

41
00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 3: building with a new staff that's has a lot of experience.

42
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 3: Mike Burguys at the GM has kind of changed the

43
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 3: team for him. The Titans of signs, seventeen free agents

44
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:10,680
Speaker 3: traded for two more guys. It's gonna be a completely

45
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 3: different feel with Robert Salah and uh a new team

46
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 3: moving forward.

47
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 5: Well, no Travondre Sweat.

48
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 3: I guess that's a system thing, right for Sala, Who's

49
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 3: going to be more of a Demico Ryan's type head coach,

50
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 3: or maybe Tamiko is more like a Robert Sala head coach.

51
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 3: Whatever the case is. They like to rotate those interior dls.

52
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:30,959
Speaker 3: How do you see a chip? Yeah, that's exactly right.

53
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 4: And you know Tovandre, Uh, he had those moments in Tennessee.

54
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 5: Uh.

55
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 4: You know, when you're picked that high, your people have

56
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 4: high expectations of what you're supposed to do. You know,

57
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 4: I don't know that he necessarily reached those with the

58
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 4: Titans part of it, because you know, he has some

59
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 4: health issues. I should say he had some health issues,

60
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 4: but he also had some conditioning issues right out of

61
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 4: the gate and and had to learn what it took

62
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:58,519
Speaker 4: to be a pro. And I think he's still learning that.

63
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 4: And I think when the coaching change was made, I

64
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 4: think they realized that he wasn't going to fit well.

65
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 4: They talked about how they think he's gonna be a

66
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:12,080
Speaker 4: really good fit in there in Glenn's defense. So the

67
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 4: Jets became clear an obvious trade partner. And then the

68
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 4: Jets had somebody in Jermaine Johnson that the Titans felt

69
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 4: like would fit them well in a new four to

70
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:26,640
Speaker 4: three defense. So Robert Salaf knows Jermaine well, decide to

71
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 4: make that trade. I think the hope is for both sides,

72
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:31,919
Speaker 4: it's beneficial for each team.

73
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 3: And what about cam Ward year two? Here he is

74
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 3: with a new regime coaching him. That's probably a good thing.

75
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 3: But what'd you see out of him last year?

76
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 5: Jim?

77
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 3: You've seen a lot of quarterbacks come and go, So

78
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 3: what do you see from him? And what encourages you

79
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 3: about cam Ward moving forward?

80
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 4: Well, just from the I mean from the day I

81
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 4: met him, and that was at this pro day last

82
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 4: year close to this time, and then spent time with

83
00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 4: him at the draft and then got him in the building,

84
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 4: I've always just and been impressed by his maturity and

85
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 4: just how much he loves football, how he doesn't worry

86
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 4: about anything else. You know, early on last season, he

87
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 4: certainly has some learning to do. He still has to

88
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 4: learn to do He's only played one year in the

89
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 4: National Football League, but he got better as the season

90
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 4: went on because I think he figured some things out.

91
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 4: He is a hard working kid. Doesn't worry about being

92
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 4: in the spotlight, hitting the club, you know, trying to

93
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:30,920
Speaker 4: get as many endorsements as possible. Always that's nice when

94
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 4: that stuff comes away. He's He's all about studying and

95
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 4: being as good a teammate and players he could possibly be.

96
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 4: So I love his work ethic.

97
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 5: You know.

98
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 4: Fortunately he had the injury in the season finale against

99
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 4: the Jaguars, it really won't affect his offseason. I think

100
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 4: they feel like he's on track to be able to

101
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:51,159
Speaker 4: do everything they're going to need him to do once

102
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:55,279
Speaker 4: OTA's and Mini camp and training camp come along. It's

103
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 4: still not some of that remains to be seen because

104
00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 4: he's just started throwing the football again. But he's got

105
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 4: the right makeup and I've I've seen him all come

106
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:09,480
Speaker 4: through the Titans, from you know, Steve McNair to to

107
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 4: Vince Young, to Mitte Hasselback to Jake Locker to Zach

108
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 4: Mettenberger to just keep on rolling through you know, Ryan

109
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 4: Tannehill have left some people off obviously, but yeah, Charlie Whitehurst. Uh,

110
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 4: Cam is Cam is different. I mean he's he's reminds

111
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:32,480
Speaker 4: me a lot of McNear, just in that he's strictly

112
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:38,360
Speaker 4: about business, a tough kid, and just what I've been

113
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:41,279
Speaker 4: impressed with him, just how he has he knows everybody's

114
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 4: name in the building, like from the people that work

115
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 4: in the cafeteria to the janitors, to people that work

116
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:51,039
Speaker 4: in all facets. And I hate to single him out

117
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:54,719
Speaker 4: so much because what he does is extraordinary. Uh, but

118
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 4: like he's in parts of the building where I never

119
00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 4: see players, like visiting with people in in content, with

120
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:04,840
Speaker 4: people in finance, and visiting with people in all different

121
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 4: floors of the building. And so it's been really cool.

122
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 4: And that's why everybody in Nashville and everybody works for

123
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 4: the team just thanks so much of him, and it's

124
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:15,680
Speaker 4: kind of rooting for his success.

125
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 5: Jim Wyatt with US covers the Titans. Is it Titans Online?

126
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:20,799
Speaker 4: Still is Tennessee Titans dot com?

127
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:21,039
Speaker 5: Now?

128
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:22,920
Speaker 4: He used to be Titans Online and then now we're

129
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:24,920
Speaker 4: officially Tennessee Titans dot Com.

130
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:28,839
Speaker 3: Got the url finally, fantastic, Jim, what is the stadium

131
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:32,360
Speaker 3: gonna mean for? Let's talk about the team. Second, let's

132
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 3: talk about Nashville first.

133
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 5: What this stadium is going to mean. It opens the

134
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 5: year after next.

135
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 4: That's correct, twand February of twenty twenty seven is when

136
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 4: it's supposed to be completed. The first Titans games will

137
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 4: be played, obviously in a preseason game in August of

138
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 4: twenty twenty seven. I think between the time the stadium

139
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 4: opens to the time the Titans play game, and they

140
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:58,600
Speaker 4: might have had eight to ten of incident already. Because

141
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 4: they can have concerts, you can have a festival. There's

142
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:03,480
Speaker 4: potentially going to have a college football game there.

143
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:05,920
Speaker 5: Somebody else breaks it in there.

144
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:07,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that's the thing. I think you want

145
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 4: to make sure you get all the kinks out and

146
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 4: you want all those other events to go well too.

147
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 4: I mean, I don't think anybody's thinking the CMA festivals

148
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 4: coming in in June, all of a sudden, the lights

149
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 4: are going to go out of the plumbing. It's gonna

150
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:20,080
Speaker 4: be an issue, like they want to be ready to

151
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:23,280
Speaker 4: go in February of twenty twenty seven. It's going to

152
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 4: change the city. I mean, Nashville is a growing city.

153
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 4: I know you come here every year and see just

154
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 4: how it changes from one year to the next. It's

155
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 4: going to be sad to me to see the old

156
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 4: one come down. I watched it being built, you know.

157
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 4: I used to walk across the bridge in Nashville when

158
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 4: I worked a part time job at the courthouse there,

159
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 4: and I saw it come up. It's hard to believe

160
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 4: now I'm going to see it come down. But and

161
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 4: there are people in Nashville that will miss it. The

162
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 4: farewell season is gonna be emotional for a lot of

163
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:55,880
Speaker 4: people just they've spent, you know, a lot of their

164
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 4: lives in there. They've they've taken their kids to games.

165
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 4: I love outdoors, as love playing on the grass. But

166
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 4: the league's changing, and certainly the city is changing. And

167
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 4: knowing that getting a new indoors stadium is not only

168
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:14,720
Speaker 4: going to be great for football fans, but you can

169
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 4: get potentially final fours in college football playoffs and wrestle

170
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 4: Mania's and every kind of event you can think of

171
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 4: that's gonna want to come to the city, pros and cons.

172
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 4: Obviously Park is not going to be as easy the

173
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 4: pros are. It's going to be a first class stadium

174
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:34,600
Speaker 4: that's going to be seventy degrees during the game. You

175
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:36,319
Speaker 4: don't have to worry about lightning delays, you don't have

176
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 4: to worry about bringing your winter coat in the wintertime.

177
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 4: And you know you were in Nashville when we had

178
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 4: Christmas Christmas where they had to delay the game for

179
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:50,319
Speaker 4: an hour because of Uh, I guess you could. I

180
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:51,960
Speaker 4: don't wor rule anything of that. They had to shut

181
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 4: the grid down for a while, but that could still happen.

182
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:59,680
Speaker 4: But that's happened once in my lifetime covering the team.

183
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:02,679
Speaker 4: Hopefully what happened again. But it's gonna open up a

184
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 4: lot of things and it's gonna be spectacular. I mean,

185
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:09,120
Speaker 4: the renderings are great. I went on a tour last week. Uh,

186
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:14,199
Speaker 4: it looks it looks spectacular already and it's gonna be

187
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 4: first class event.

188
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:19,680
Speaker 3: Jim Wyatt covers the Titans Tennessee Titans dot Com. So, Jim,

189
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 3: you tell me about the uniforms. What's the reaction in

190
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 3: the market to the uniform unveil.

191
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 4: With just like everything, no one not, everyone's gonna love it.

192
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 4: I think the majority of the people are on board

193
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 4: and like it. I like it myself. I think the

194
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 4: colors look great. I think the logo is is, which

195
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 4: is now my credentials still taking some getting used to.

196
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:46,080
Speaker 4: But I think the logo is clean. The players love it. Uh.

197
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 5: You know.

198
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:50,560
Speaker 4: Again, I'm speaking to the fans who have followed this

199
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 4: team since they came to Nashville, and they're used to

200
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:55,840
Speaker 4: seeing the fireball logo and and the so and the

201
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 4: color scheme. The team looks different now, uh than it

202
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 4: did when it smooth to Tennessee. And this is the

203
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 4: third rebranding or third uniform changed since they've been there.

204
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 4: Some fans which they wouldn't change because it again, it's

205
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:14,720
Speaker 4: a it's a different look. And there are people in

206
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:19,200
Speaker 4: Nashville that think, you know, and I hear them, you know,

207
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:21,040
Speaker 4: why are we trying to look like the Oilers and

208
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:24,199
Speaker 4: why are we trying to bring back the Oilers past?

209
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 4: And I don't think that's what it's all a part of.

210
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:30,319
Speaker 4: But I think certainly this team, uh, and this franchise

211
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:35,160
Speaker 4: was rooted in Oilers and with these uniforms. Tried them

212
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:37,760
Speaker 4: a couple of times with the throwbacks. The people in

213
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:42,680
Speaker 4: Nashville loved them. They had uniforms and jerseys going off

214
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:49,720
Speaker 4: the sales right at the team store. Players love the look,

215
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:51,600
Speaker 4: So I just think it was a combination of a

216
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 4: lot of things that made the team convince itself that

217
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 4: let's let's go with this look for a full time.

218
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:02,680
Speaker 3: Tell me your thoughts on the Jaguars, the reigning AFC

219
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 3: South champions who need to be dethroned, preferably by the

220
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:08,680
Speaker 3: Houston Texans. But you tell me your thoughts on their

221
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:11,400
Speaker 3: chance to repeat what they've got going on for themselves.

222
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 4: Jim Well, I think I have a tougher time. I mean,

223
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 4: I was very impressed with what they did last year,

224
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:20,720
Speaker 4: very impressed with Liam Cohen. I mean saw them twice

225
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:24,600
Speaker 4: this year this past year. They're a tough team, played

226
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 4: good on defense. Offensively, you know, Trevor Lawrence looked like

227
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:30,720
Speaker 4: he's supposed to look when you pick him that early.

228
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:33,840
Speaker 4: He used to looked like he was he he was

229
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 4: comfortable and had some playmakers around him. But their schedule

230
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:40,839
Speaker 4: gets tougher, just like all these teams that finished first

231
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 4: in their division. You know, look at the Patriots. I

232
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 4: looked at their schedule now. I'm constantly reminded of the

233
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:50,560
Speaker 4: Patriots success because Rabel's there, and I look at their

234
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:53,080
Speaker 4: schedule now and I'm like, they're gonna have a tougher

235
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:56,760
Speaker 4: time doing what they did. You know this past year

236
00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:59,200
Speaker 4: coming up, and I look at the Jags, it's gonna

237
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 4: be tougher because the Titans are going to be better,

238
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 4: The Texans are good, the Colts are going to be better.

239
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:09,880
Speaker 4: I mean, the Jags benefited from having a couple of

240
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 4: teams that were really down and and got some wins

241
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 4: because of that. But the time competition across the division

242
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 4: is going to make it tougher for them. Think I

243
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:20,960
Speaker 4: still think it's wide open. I think the Texans are

244
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:24,600
Speaker 4: right in there competing to win the division with the Jags.

245
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:27,319
Speaker 5: Do you think the Cults are better? Do you really think?

246
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:29,600
Speaker 4: I think they'll be better. When I look at the division,

247
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 4: I think, you know, again, I'm not going to rule

248
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 4: out the team I work for because it's better. Seventeen

249
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:39,040
Speaker 4: free agents and two trades, got a draft coming up.

250
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 4: The energy in the building is better, and you see

251
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 4: teams like the Jags and the Patriots make an incredible

252
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:48,480
Speaker 4: leap while they can become a contender. Sitting here at

253
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:52,080
Speaker 4: the end of March, you know, Titans have a lot

254
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:54,760
Speaker 4: to proof where I think right now, the Jags and

255
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 4: the Texans are the two teams to beat in that division,

256
00:12:57,920 --> 00:12:59,720
Speaker 4: and then the Colts and the Titans are trying to

257
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:02,560
Speaker 4: catch up. But I think people in Nashville, people inside

258
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:04,760
Speaker 4: my building feel like the team can get there. They

259
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:05,600
Speaker 4: just got to prove it.

260
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:08,320
Speaker 3: You've covered the league for a long time. What do

261
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:11,000
Speaker 3: you think about where it's going with eighteen games as

262
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:13,880
Speaker 3: a strong possibility, all the international games are only going

263
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:16,960
Speaker 3: to increase the number things like that as we move

264
00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 3: forward in NFL history.

265
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 5: Gym.

266
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, I've I liked the It's a lot

267
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:24,440
Speaker 4: of work. I mean going on the international games, as

268
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:28,280
Speaker 4: you know, like it's it's a process getting there, your

269
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:31,679
Speaker 4: schedules adjusted when you come back. You know, it disrupts

270
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 4: some things from that standpoint, but I love the way

271
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:37,840
Speaker 4: the league has grown. Titans have been to London twice,

272
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:39,840
Speaker 4: two of the most memorable road trips I've been on,

273
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 4: just because you see how much people love football there

274
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:46,079
Speaker 4: and you see see Titans fans in front of Buckingham

275
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:49,439
Speaker 4: Palace jerseys from across the league at those games. It's

276
00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:51,760
Speaker 4: it's spectacular. And now I want to go to some

277
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:55,600
Speaker 4: of these other international sites to experience it in those cities.

278
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:58,320
Speaker 4: So no matter of time before each team plays one

279
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:00,680
Speaker 4: game there, and I think that's that's a good thing.

280
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:02,959
Speaker 4: Don't ever want to see the super Bowl go.

281
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:07,160
Speaker 1: There, Bingo, no super Bowl over there, but I like

282
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:10,360
Speaker 1: the International Games. There's still a chance that Texans could

283
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:14,400
Speaker 1: have one sound I think a couple of teams, but

284
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:18,319
Speaker 1: we'll see. Hopefully that'll be announced sometime soon. But that's

285
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 1: gonna do it for the show. Appreciate Jim Wyatt. He

286
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:22,600
Speaker 1: was great with Mark. Mark did a great job with

287

Speaker 1: all his interview. Soaco Paccio, my buddy from Buffalo who

288
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:29,400
Speaker 1: did a great job. And of course the McNair's Callahanna McNair,

00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:53,960
Speaker 5: they were really good.

316
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:56,000
Speaker 3: We have the new title for Hannah, so yeah, it

317
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 3: takes me longer to introduce you by the time I

318
00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 3: introduce you, and we're done here for the day exactly.

319
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 6: Thanks for having us.

320
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:05,120
Speaker 3: Mark, Well, thanks for being here, and tell me what

321
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:07,760
Speaker 3: you get out of these there's so much information that

322
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:10,600
Speaker 3: they go over. I've been privileged to see some of it,

323
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:12,360
Speaker 3: but you're in meetings all day, So what is this

324
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:12,880
Speaker 3: like for you?

325
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:16,080
Speaker 6: Cal I'm still kind of processing it and downloading. It's

326
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:20,320
Speaker 6: been a long two days of very great discussions. What

327
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 6: stands out to me is the popularity of the game

328
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 6: and how strong the game is both here and its

329
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:31,640
Speaker 6: growth international. And it's just a great time to be

330
00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:32,840
Speaker 6: a NFL fan.

331
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:35,640
Speaker 3: No question. And Hannah, what about your opinion. There's so

332
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:38,720
Speaker 3: much about community here speaking of Chief Community Officer and

333
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:42,120
Speaker 3: the NFL how it impacts everything in all these markets.

334
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:44,160
Speaker 7: I think that's one of the biggest things for me

335
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:46,680
Speaker 7: is seeing just beyond the game of tackle football what

336
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:49,280
Speaker 7: goes on off the field, but also the growth with

337
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:51,760
Speaker 7: the female athletes in flag football. So they did touch

338
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:54,560
Speaker 7: on that. It was exciting to see everything that's going

339
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:56,600
Speaker 7: on and then going into the Olympics here in a

340
00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:58,440
Speaker 7: couple of years, so a lot of growth, a lot

341
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 7: of opportunity, but a lot of excitement.

342
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:00,880
Speaker 4: You know.

343
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 6: What they did tell us also is when you look

344
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:08,760
Speaker 6: at the whole NFL spectrum of giving right to charitable causes,

345
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:13,800
Speaker 6: the league, the teams ownership, all the various groups was

346
00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:18,800
Speaker 6: a billion dollars was donated back to the community by.

347
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:20,040
Speaker 7: The last year rate.

348
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 6: Right last year. So that was really fun to hear that.

349
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:27,679
Speaker 6: You know, as a group, we really do embrace our

350
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:31,560
Speaker 6: communities across the spectrum and hopefully that's making a difference.

351
00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:33,639
Speaker 6: I think it is, but it was exciting for me

352
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 6: to hear that that was a big number.

353
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:37,240
Speaker 3: Well, that's something that's always been very important to the

354
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:39,879
Speaker 3: Houston Texans, right. This is part of our tradition entering

355
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:43,000
Speaker 3: the twenty fifth season and Bob and Janis McNair what

356
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:44,760
Speaker 3: they started, Hannah, you and I talked about this a

357
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:46,919
Speaker 3: little bit last week, but what about that part of

358
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:49,680
Speaker 3: it cal being a Texans tradition to help in the community.

359
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:52,960
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, it's part of what they brought the team

360
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:55,560
Speaker 6: back for to be a big part of the community

361
00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:59,080
Speaker 6: and they have that's in our DNA, and so we

362
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:04,399
Speaker 6: enjoy doing it. And we've enjoyed making this transition with

363
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:08,840
Speaker 6: leading with Flag into communities as an area to open

364
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:10,479
Speaker 6: the door for us a little bit better, and our

365
00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 6: players love it. It's something we know how to do,

366
00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:17,960
Speaker 6: but it allows us to get into communities where, you know,

367
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:20,240
Speaker 6: a little bit easier.

368
00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:22,159
Speaker 3: All right, So we miss being around the fans. I

369
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:23,680
Speaker 3: think we all agree on that. But we're going to

370
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:25,879
Speaker 3: get a chance. It was announced this week draft party

371
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:28,399
Speaker 3: coming up late April Thursday, nut of the Draft.

372
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:29,080
Speaker 5: It's going to be.

373
00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:33,439
Speaker 3: Downtown Avenitas, presented by Medello. Thoughts on the draft party,

374
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:34,720
Speaker 3: you know, we.

375
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:36,480
Speaker 8: Only get to go to the beginning.

376
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:38,479
Speaker 7: It's always a lot of fun to get to go

377
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:41,800
Speaker 7: and mix and mingle with the fans. You feel their energy.

378
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:43,840
Speaker 7: You know, throughout the season, you get that energy all

379
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:46,439
Speaker 7: the time. But you know when in the off season

380
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:48,679
Speaker 7: you start to miss it. Yeah, where can I go

381
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:50,960
Speaker 7: connect with our fans? So the draft party is the

382
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:53,880
Speaker 7: first step and kind of going into that with OTAs

383
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:56,879
Speaker 7: and then training camp. So it'll be exciting, it'll be fun.

384
00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:58,679
Speaker 7: We get to say hi and then we exit for

385
00:18:58,720 --> 00:18:59,119
Speaker 7: the war.

386
00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:00,800
Speaker 4: Room around the corner.

387
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:04,280
Speaker 6: So we're excited for the draft and you know, bringing

388
00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:06,720
Speaker 6: in some really good players in the top three rounds

389
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:09,040
Speaker 6: where we have four picks, so we'll get some you know,

390
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:09,680
Speaker 6: a number.

391
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:10,880
Speaker 4: Of good players to come help us play.

392
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:12,440
Speaker 3: Now you say you can only go to a little

393
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:14,520
Speaker 3: of it, but you spoiled us that one year making

394
00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:16,639
Speaker 3: the reappearance at the draft party.

395
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:19,560
Speaker 7: Yes, but have you ever seen a draft like that?

396
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 7: It's more exciting than that draft.

397
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:23,560
Speaker 3: It's funny because you don't want to ever see it

398
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:27,439
Speaker 3: again because that means you're picking. Yeah, right there, but

399
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:30,919
Speaker 3: it was very exciting at the time. We'll never forget that.

400
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:34,480
Speaker 3: Cal What about the off season acquisitions here so far,

401
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:38,199
Speaker 3: because we know it's never over. Constant acquiring of players,

402
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 3: whether it be draft, free agents, trades, whatever, but a

403
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:42,520
Speaker 3: really good start to the offseason overall.

404
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:45,119
Speaker 6: Yeah, like you said, it's never really over until the

405
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:49,240
Speaker 6: final trading deadline, and then even then NIXT working on contracts,

406
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:52,120
Speaker 6: you know, to extend players, and so it's never really over.

407
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:54,360
Speaker 6: But what you like to do is have a lot

408
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:57,120
Speaker 6: of your spots filled going into the drafts. You don't

409
00:19:57,119 --> 00:19:59,200
Speaker 6: have a glaring need and you can just pick the

410
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:01,680
Speaker 6: very best player to come in and help the team

411
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:05,359
Speaker 6: in whatever spot you know that's there. But the idea

412
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:07,600
Speaker 6: of picking the very best player at that spot is

413
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:09,480
Speaker 6: really what we're going to be doing, and I think

414
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:10,480
Speaker 6: we're set up to do that.

415
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:15,800
Speaker 3: Okay, other things going on, postseason, love volleyball, love Houston.

416
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:19,440
Speaker 3: Here we go Season one with the Texans. How do

417
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:21,679
Speaker 3: you think it went. And it's still in progress, but

418
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:22,960
Speaker 3: the regular season is over.

419
00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:25,639
Speaker 7: I mean, could it have gone better? Where the you know,

420
00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:28,720
Speaker 7: we're ranked one in the league, We're going into the playoffs,

421
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:32,320
Speaker 7: just really well positioned to make a.

422
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:35,920
Speaker 5: Rep for the championship and going to these matches very exciting.

423
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:37,119
Speaker 4: Oh I love it.

424
00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:38,399
Speaker 5: It's the leader.

425
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:42,719
Speaker 7: Oh they really are. It's really fun to go and

426
00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:47,440
Speaker 7: be a part of. It's just different, really great spectator sport.

427
00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:50,000
Speaker 7: But you know, now that I've gotten to know all

428
00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:53,720
Speaker 7: the athletes and everyone in the organization and coach, it

429
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:56,159
Speaker 7: really just makes it that much more fun for me.

430
00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 3: All Right, A little bit more on flag football here

431
00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:01,480
Speaker 3: because a partnership announced this week in the league. At

432
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:04,040
Speaker 3: some point we'll get involved with a pro league with

433
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:06,800
Speaker 3: men and women, and we have the Olympics coming up

434
00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:09,760
Speaker 3: and with as involved the Texans are with the high

435
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:12,560
Speaker 3: school participation right now, what is it one hundred and

436
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:13,199
Speaker 3: fifty schools.

437
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:15,840
Speaker 8: I mean it's overage, it's one hundred and fifty two.

438
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:17,960
Speaker 7: But I can tell you even over the last couple

439
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:20,159
Speaker 7: of weeks, we've had high schools reaching out asking how

440
00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:24,359
Speaker 7: they can put a flag football in their school. So

441
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:26,080
Speaker 7: we're going to be in more. One hundred and fifty

442
00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:27,760
Speaker 7: two is just the number we have right now, so

443
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:34,200
Speaker 7: it's growing, it's continuing to grow. And with the high school.

444
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:36,080
Speaker 7: Why we're so focused on high schools because there was

445
00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:38,239
Speaker 7: a bit of a gap, right you have youth and

446
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:41,040
Speaker 7: there was no real opportunity or pathway to college for

447
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 7: young female athletes. A lot of girls were quitning sports

448
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 7: before they get to high school. So we do a

449
00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:48,159
Speaker 7: great job with the young men in the community. You know,

450
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:50,520
Speaker 7: we have the Senior Showcase, We support a lot of

451
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:53,040
Speaker 7: the high schools with you know, tackle football, but there

452
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:55,520
Speaker 7: really just wasn't an avenue for the female athletes. So

453
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:59,680
Speaker 7: creating something where girls have the same opportunities through high

454
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:02,360
Speaker 7: school is really why we're focused on high school right now.

455
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:05,840
Speaker 3: Very good, Okay, I have some very important questions for

456
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:08,960
Speaker 3: you right now. These are more of the fun the

457
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:11,199
Speaker 3: lightning round. Yeah, it's a little bit lightning round. You

458
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:13,720
Speaker 3: can expand on him, though, So here's the first one.

459
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:16,439
Speaker 3: Give me one or two, you can as many as

460
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:19,320
Speaker 3: you want. Favorite games, games that stand out to you

461
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:22,239
Speaker 3: that are non playoff Texans wins. Anything could be from

462
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:25,439
Speaker 3: last season, could be historical, it doesn't matter. But what

463
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:27,920
Speaker 3: jumps out cal you and I talk about this a lot,

464
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:31,280
Speaker 3: not just last season, but but something that it doesn't

465
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:33,440
Speaker 3: have to be the one, but one that jumps out

466
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:36,240
Speaker 3: to you as I say that Jacksonville come back.

467
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:38,439

496
00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:49,960
Speaker 3: came out yesterday on the Texans channels. Yes, and it

497
00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:52,880
Speaker 3: had the Billy Miller touchdown and I get chills thinking

498
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:57,119
Speaker 3: about that. That's tremendous, a great answers, Yeah, reached it

499
00:23:57,160 --> 00:24:01,159
Speaker 3: across as beautiful and Gary Walker coming off the field,

500
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:05,359
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, welcome to mister Jones. Oh yes, that was

501
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:08,879
Speaker 3: a tremendous night, no doubt about it. Okay, So you

502
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:11,399
Speaker 3: have kids who play sports, and I'm not asking you

503
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:14,200
Speaker 3: to pick your favorite kid, but one or two kids

504
00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:16,560
Speaker 3: games that might have reminded you of a Texans game

505
00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:18,240
Speaker 3: or something like that, where maybe it was a big

506
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:21,560
Speaker 3: comeback or a moment where somebody caught a flag football

507
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:24,720
Speaker 3: touchdown like Kevin Walter or anything that jumps out. Maybe

508
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:26,439
Speaker 3: it was a baseball game and it just reminded you

509
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:28,520
Speaker 3: of something a Texans moment, or it's just a great

510
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:29,679
Speaker 3: game for one of your kids.

511
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:32,720
Speaker 5: Oh, you have to have so many of these.

512
00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:36,080
Speaker 7: Well, it was Robert's first high school football season this

513
00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:41,320
Speaker 7: past year, and he's on defense, so he's a linebacker.

514
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:47,400
Speaker 7: And the offense they were at their own I want

515
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:52,080
Speaker 7: to say, ten yard line, and they had been they

516
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:56,160
Speaker 7: had been making good drives and Robert first, I think

517
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:59,720
Speaker 7: it was the first snap, pop the ball out, recovered

518
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:02,680
Speaker 7: his own and you know, recovered the fumble right there,

519
00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:04,280
Speaker 7: and then you know, of course, the next play our

520
00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:06,359
Speaker 7: team scored. But that was a really cool high school

521
00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:09,240
Speaker 7: football moment and he felt it like it was the

522
00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:13,320
Speaker 7: first time I've seen Robert really like come alive in

523
00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:16,480
Speaker 7: full boy because he's pretty quiet, and it was a

524
00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:18,760
Speaker 7: pretty cool moment. And then the rest of the season

525
00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:19,720
Speaker 7: he just played.

526
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:21,479
Speaker 5: He balled out. That's the tone.

527
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:21,800
Speaker 1: Yeah.

528
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:24,200
Speaker 7: And then Hunter, I would say last season as well,

529
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:26,120
Speaker 7: she had a pick six, her first one.

530
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:27,160
Speaker 5: Six.

531
00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:28,640
Speaker 4: Yes, it was awesome.

532
00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:30,680
Speaker 5: Is she six or seven?

533
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:33,720
Speaker 4: Howld Is she six?

534
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:34,200
Speaker 6: There?

535
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:36,679
Speaker 5: I walked right into that. I walked right into that.

536
00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:42,960
Speaker 7: Yeah, she is seven, but yes, she just recently turned seven.

537
00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:45,280
Speaker 3: Sid Well, we've seen her break ankles and other videos too,

538
00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:46,280
Speaker 3: so she's got all the time.

539
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:54,080
Speaker 7: I think he pitched a complete game, phenomenal, Just that

540
00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:56,320
Speaker 7: was really fun to watch against a really good team.

541
00:25:57,119 --> 00:26:00,480
Speaker 7: And then Michael. We just call him our assass because

542
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:03,760
Speaker 7: he's just sneaky fun and sneaky good to watch. He

543
00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:05,720
Speaker 7: plays just about everything well.

544
00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:08,280
Speaker 6: I remember on defense.

545
00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:09,600
Speaker 7: Coach this year for a little league.

546
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:13,480
Speaker 6: Which is awesome, but on defense, this team kept throwing

547
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:16,800
Speaker 6: to the wide out that Michael was covering him, and

548
00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:21,720
Speaker 6: so Michael baited. It was almost a screen, but it

549
00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:24,200
Speaker 6: was on the line of scrimmage. Michael kind of baited

550
00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:26,159
Speaker 6: him staying back and when they threw it, he just

551
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:27,400
Speaker 6: went up and picked it off.

552
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:36,000
Speaker 3: That we probably appreciate it literally on Oh my goodness,

553
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:39,320
Speaker 3: he took it back for we buried the lead here

554
00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:42,040
Speaker 3: that Cal is coaching a little league team. I think

555
00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:43,960
Speaker 3: we need to cover this. I think we need to.

556
00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:45,920
Speaker 4: Shoot this coach first base.

557
00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:48,520
Speaker 6: And the thing they hear me most is good.

558
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:53,760
Speaker 3: I want to come out watch all right. One more

559
00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:57,200
Speaker 3: for you. Best food that Cal makes at home, because

560
00:26:57,200 --> 00:27:00,720
Speaker 3: we know Cal has to cook out during training camp.

561
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:02,720
Speaker 3: We know he's a griller.

562
00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:04,080
Speaker 7: Brisket and chicken.

656
00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:36,800
Speaker 8: so we are Here mountain time In. Phoenix, yeah supposed

657
00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:39,640
Speaker 8: to be two hours, behind but because they don't recognize

658
00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:42,920
Speaker 8: daylight saving, time we are still three hours Behind, eastern

659
00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:45,320
Speaker 8: which is. Weird so this at the owner's meetings was

660
00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:47,840
Speaker 8: a month, ago we'd be two hours different Than.

661
00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:50,320
Speaker 5: Buffalo, okay which is. Wild it is.

662
00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:52,520
Speaker 3: Wild, yeah so certain times of year it's an hour

663
00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:54,760
Speaker 3: because we've had preseason getting, YEAH i want to get

664
00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:57,640
Speaker 3: into yeah, yeah, wait are you a fan of abolishing

665
00:31:57,800 --> 00:31:58,600
Speaker 3: daylight savings?

666
00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:01,080
Speaker 8: Time let's just go to daily saving abolished the regular,

667
00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:02,680
Speaker 8: time let's abolish standard.

668
00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:06,280
Speaker 3: Time so, okay but here's my take on. THAT i

669
00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:08,640
Speaker 3: think a half hour would be. Perfect but you can't

670
00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:10,640
Speaker 3: do it. Now you can't do that because it's either

671
00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:13,080
Speaker 3: too dark or too light at certain times and you're

672
00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:15,640
Speaker 3: gonna get really. Upset so it is what it. Is,

673
00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:17,520
Speaker 3: anyway we didn't come here to talk about. That The

674
00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:19,520
Speaker 3: buffalo bills are once again on the text and. Schedule

675
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:20,880
Speaker 3: AND i know you caught up With johnny at the

676
00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:24,160
Speaker 3: combine without, me so we messed my chance to visit with.

677
00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:27,280
Speaker 3: You BUT i know That johnny mentioned this and you

678
00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:30,040
Speaker 3: mentioned this that The bills don't enjoy coming to An

679
00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:30,960
Speaker 3: Archie stadium.

680
00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:34,880
Speaker 8: Lately, YEAH i mean it's been a house of, horrors

681
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:37,320
Speaker 8: as fans like to call, it and we know that

682
00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:39,840
Speaker 8: from the. Results in the, fact quite, frankly That Josh

683
00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:42,320
Speaker 8: allen's been beaten up, there especially last. Year we all

684
00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:45,280
Speaker 8: remember him down on the turf kicking and really thinking right, There,

685
00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:47,960
Speaker 8: okay this is the. Season There's Josh. Allen they couldn't protect.

686
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:51,360
Speaker 8: Him it was a loud. Environment The bills had a

687
00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:53,440
Speaker 8: game plan THAT i think did not work well for them,

688
00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:56,560
Speaker 8: offensively where they left their, tackles who were good tackles

689
00:32:56,560 --> 00:32:59,080
Speaker 8: out in an, island but in a crazy environment like,

690
00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:01,719
Speaker 8: that they didn't have any. Help AND i think as

691
00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:04,760
Speaker 8: much as they could Trust Dion dawkins And Spencer brown

692
00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:07,720
Speaker 8: individually most, times that was not the night to do,

693
00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:09,840
Speaker 8: it and it wound up catching up with them for,

694
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:11,960
Speaker 8: Sure but for sure next year going in, There bills

695
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:13,600
Speaker 8: fans are, like oh my, god here we Go houston.

696
00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:16,000
Speaker 3: Again, right, yeah, Well i'll cheer them up a tiny

697
00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:18,840
Speaker 3: bit in that even though they've beaten Up Josh, allen

698
00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:21,040
Speaker 3: these games have been really, close, RIGHT i, mean the

699
00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:25,000
Speaker 3: playoff game last year the year, before super close, games

700
00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:27,360
Speaker 3: despite the fact that when they get last year eight

701
00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:30,720
Speaker 3: sacks On Josh allen and you're still you're still there

702
00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:32,840
Speaker 3: at the end because of the hook and lateral and my,

703
00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:34,960
Speaker 3: gosh all of a, Sudden i'm thinking we're gonna lose

704
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:37,440
Speaker 3: this game, tonight and The texans made the big play

705
00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:40,040
Speaker 3: at the end With. Bullock BUT i think The bills are.

706
00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:42,280
Speaker 3: AMAZING i Think Josh allen is. Amazing and do you

707
00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:43,920
Speaker 3: think this is a year where The bills get back

708
00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:45,480
Speaker 3: to the top of THE Afc east or The?

709
00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:46,880
Speaker 5: Patriots was that kind.

710
00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:48,840
Speaker 3: OF i know you won't call it a one year

711
00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:51,880
Speaker 3: wonder or, whatever but did the schedule break just right

712
00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:52,560
Speaker 3: and everything else for?

713
00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:54,959
Speaker 8: Them it for sure. Did BUT i was always one

714
00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:58,000
Speaker 8: all year to, say you only play who's on your, schedule,

715
00:33:58,040 --> 00:33:59,600
Speaker 8: RIGHT i, mean you've got to take care of. Business

716
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:01,840
Speaker 8: and they took care of business In buffalo on A sunday.

717
00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:04,480
Speaker 8: Night they took advantage a couple of, turnovers they won

718
00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:06,800
Speaker 8: the kind of game they play all. Year they muck it,

719
00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:09,799
Speaker 8: up they wait for your, mistake and they take. Advantage

720
00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:11,279
Speaker 8: SO i think that's what you're going to see from,

721
00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:12,719
Speaker 8: them but it will be a little harder this. Year

722
00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:14,799
Speaker 8: the schedules are tougher for all the teams in The.

723
00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:17,640
Speaker 8: East the, advantage as you, know the way this, Works

724
00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:19,720
Speaker 8: mark the advantage of The patriots have is they're not paying

725
00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:23,480
Speaker 8: their young quarterback a huge, salary so they can spread

726
00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:25,719
Speaker 8: the love around the roster and get them some. Help

727
00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:27,680
Speaker 8: and they've done that again this. Offseason SO i don't

728
00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:29,799
Speaker 8: think The patriots are going, away BUT i think The

729
00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:32,680
Speaker 8: bills understand now you can't just wake up and win

730
00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:33,280
Speaker 8: THE Afc.

731
00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:36,080
Speaker 3: East, yeah what is your impression Of Joe brady so

732
00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:39,720
Speaker 3: far as head? Coach and it's a tough spot because

733
00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:42,280
Speaker 3: the expectations are so. High it's not, like, oh getting

734
00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:44,680
Speaker 3: the playoffs would be. Wonderful you want to get to

735
00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:47,279
Speaker 3: THE Afc Championship game and beyond and that would be.

736
00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:50,400
Speaker 8: Good you, know When joe was, hired how many people

737
00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:52,839
Speaker 8: sent me a stat you, know how many first year

738
00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:54,400
Speaker 8: head coaches ever went to A Super? Bowl there's like

739
00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:56,920
Speaker 8: two or? Three like because first year head coaches generally

740
00:34:56,920 --> 00:35:00,520
Speaker 8: don't take over good. Teams, Right he's an a way different,

741
00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:01,720
Speaker 8: spot as you, know he's more.

742
00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:04,320
Speaker 5: Like George seaffert, yes you know that kind of thing exactly.

743
00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:08,319
Speaker 8: Right so you don't move on From sean. McDermott but

744
00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:11,799
Speaker 8: for hitting the proverbial playoff wall As Terry bagoula called it,

745
00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:14,879
Speaker 8: right and then bring somebody into reset to take a step.

746
00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:17,960
Speaker 8: Back you bring him in to get over the proverbial playoff.

747
00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:20,800
Speaker 8: Wall holy, cow does that put pressure On Joe. Brady

748
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:22,719
Speaker 8: but here's the thing about, Pressure Mark And i've said,

749
00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:25,120
Speaker 8: this AND i say this with all THE i Love sean.

750
00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:27,680
Speaker 8: McDermott he was great for this. Organization we have a

751
00:35:27,719 --> 00:35:31,080
Speaker 8: really good. Relationship but With sean came a lot of.

752
00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:34,560
Speaker 8: Pressure and he's a grinder and he really puts pressure

753
00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:37,520
Speaker 8: on everybody around them and do everything perfect all the.

754
00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:40,640
Speaker 8: Time and you, know when you are like that and

755
00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:42,960
Speaker 8: you don't, win and again don't, win and you get,

756
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:45,399
Speaker 8: close the pressure mounts and the pressure mounts even more

757
00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:47,640
Speaker 8: so you get to a bubbling point WHERE i think

758
00:35:47,840 --> 00:35:50,319
Speaker 8: they needed the balloon. Popped they needed to breathe a little.

759
00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:53,960
Speaker 8: Bit joe as a head coach brings kind of a

760
00:35:54,239 --> 00:35:58,160
Speaker 8: relief of a let's breathe a little, bit let's, reset

761
00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:00,400
Speaker 8: let's have a bit of a different, vibe vibe and

762
00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:04,160
Speaker 8: personality around here where there's not this unbelievable pressure on.

763
00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:06,160
Speaker 8: Everybody and, AGAIN i don't want to say that to

764
00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:07,959
Speaker 8: make it sound anything nagget Against.

765
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:09,840
Speaker 5: Jean you had a really good relationship with.

766
00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:12,880
Speaker 8: Them, yeah but Because sean was needed for this organization

767
00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:15,120
Speaker 8: going From Rex, ryan and he got him to a certain.

768
00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:17,920
Speaker 8: Level BUT i think that it's allowing everybody in the

769
00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:20,919
Speaker 8: building to be a little bit to breathe a little,

770
00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:23,719
Speaker 8: bit LIKE i, said and enjoy their kind of their

771
00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:26,760
Speaker 8: own personalities With joe and and go on this journey

772
00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:27,600
Speaker 8: together with. Him.

773
00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:30,319
Speaker 3: Interesting what do you make of the rest of the.

774
00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:32,080
Speaker 3: Division we'll get back to The bills in a, moment

775
00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:33,080
Speaker 3: But miami and The.

776
00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:37,919
Speaker 8: Jets miami is clearly just resetting. Completely do we want

777
00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:39,920
Speaker 8: to call it? Tanking i'm not. Sure you know that's

778
00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:43,600

00:36:46,120 --> 00:36:48,160
Speaker 8: they're gonna and then they, don't and look what. Happens

781
00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:49,759
Speaker 8: The jets were one of the worst, teams but now

782
00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:51,279
Speaker 8: the kid From oregon goes back to, school so they

783
00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:53,319
Speaker 8: then get the quarterback they, want, Right like you could

784
00:36:53,360 --> 00:36:54,960
Speaker 8: aim for it all you. Want it doesn't mean it's

785
00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:58,200
Speaker 8: going to, happen but clearly they're aiming to do things,

786
00:36:58,239 --> 00:37:01,719
Speaker 8: different have a different. Approach they're not they're stripping down their.

787
00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:03,720
Speaker 8: Roster they're not going to be a very good football.

788
00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:05,680
Speaker 8: TEAM i just don't see. It but it's a division.

789
00:37:05,719 --> 00:37:07,680
Speaker 8: Game you never Know texas and mad that situation to

790
00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:09,759
Speaker 8: play a team where you think you should. BEAT i

791
00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:11,960
Speaker 8: just don't see them as a, factor, Honestly mark probably

792
00:37:11,960 --> 00:37:12,400
Speaker 8: for a couple of.

793
00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:13,080
Speaker 5: Years the.

794
00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:16,319
Speaker 8: WAY i think they're tearing down so much that even

795
00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:18,880
Speaker 8: a guy Like Bradley chubb comes From miami To buffalo

796
00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:22,040
Speaker 8: And i'm talking With miami media and they're, like we

797
00:37:22,040 --> 00:37:24,040
Speaker 8: can't believe The dolphins let this guy go when they're.

798
00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:26,000
Speaker 8: Resetting he's such a, leader like he would have been

799
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:28,600
Speaker 8: good for what they're doing. Now granted he's a little,

800
00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:30,879
Speaker 8: older but he would. Fit SO i think they're going

801
00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:33,000
Speaker 8: down so. Far that's the case. There and then you

802
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:34,359
Speaker 8: have The, jets where it just seems like they can't

803
00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:37,759
Speaker 8: get out of their own, way even though they have

804
00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:40,919
Speaker 8: a coach with a. VISION i don't know if he's

805
00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:44,520
Speaker 8: kind of blocked by the vision of the overall organization

806
00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:46,719
Speaker 8: because of ownership because of what they want to, do

807
00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:48,800
Speaker 8: and it always seems like those things never mention In

808
00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:53,239
Speaker 8: New york. OWNERSHIP gm coach and What Tyrod taylor is

809
00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:56,640
Speaker 8: the starting. QUARTERBACK i, mean we Love, tyrod but there's

810
00:37:56,680 --> 00:37:59,200
Speaker 8: a ceiling With, tyrod, RIGHT i don't know what they.

811
00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:01,920
Speaker 3: HAVE i don't know what the hils back and we'll

812
00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:04,279
Speaker 3: see how that. Goes, yeah, yeah, Yeah i'm.

813
00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:06,879
Speaker 8: Sorry Geno, smith, right SO i Say Tyrod, Yeah Gino, smith,

814
00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:09,520
Speaker 8: Right Geno, Smith i'm sorry about. That we all In

815
00:38:09,560 --> 00:38:12,040
Speaker 8: Gino smith's a nice, quarterback but there's a ceiling there with.

816
00:38:12,120 --> 00:38:12,680
Speaker 5: Him same.

817
00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:14,439
Speaker 8: THING i always think Of tyrod with The, jets sorry

818
00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:16,319
Speaker 8: because he've been around with so many, teams But Geno

819
00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:19,160
Speaker 8: smith's same. Thing AND i just think that they'll probably

820
00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:21,319
Speaker 8: run into the same problems they have all every, year

821
00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:23,239
Speaker 8: which is can they get to a certain point and

822
00:38:23,239 --> 00:38:24,759
Speaker 8: that feels like they're gonna win some games and then

823
00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:25,560
Speaker 8: things just Go, hey.

824
00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:28,479
Speaker 3: Wire quarterback is such a mystery for so many. Teams

825
00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:30,400
Speaker 3: that's why you have to feel so blessed In Western

826
00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:32,480
Speaker 3: New york With Josh. Allen oh my, god having a

827
00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:34,840
Speaker 3: guy like that every, year you're gonna be in it all?

828
00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:38,520

Speaker 3: WITH Us Buffalo bill's sideline. Reporter jacksonville won THE Afc

830
00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:44,680
Speaker 3: South texans gunning for them and everybody else in the

831

Speaker 3: but how good Is jacksonville you think moving? Forward i'm

833
00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:52,920
Speaker 3: impressed With Liam. KOHANE i had a chance to talk with.

834
00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:55,200
Speaker 5: Him a little bit here at THE Nfl Annual. Meeting your.

835
00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:59,520
Speaker 8: THOUGHTS i like him as a, coach their offensive. Coordinator

836
00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:03,200
Speaker 8: you didn't ski interviewed for The bill's head coach. JOB

837
00:39:03,239 --> 00:39:05,120
Speaker 8: i think they liked him a. Lot he's a really,

838
00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:09,480
Speaker 8: young dynamic. GUY i always think, though and maybe this

839
00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:11,719
Speaker 8: is just kind, of you, know the wrong way to

840
00:39:11,719 --> 00:39:13,120
Speaker 8: think about, it But i've seen a lot and you have.

841
00:39:13,200 --> 00:39:18,240
Speaker 8: Too when teams see guys first time coaches play, callers

842
00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:20,239
Speaker 8: they start to feel it and then it kind of

843
00:39:20,239 --> 00:39:21,520
Speaker 8: goes the other way a little bit because you start

844
00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:23,360
Speaker 8: to figure it out what they're. Doing that's the CHALLENGE

845
00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:25,360
Speaker 8: i think they have In. Jacksonville they built it to

846
00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:27,719
Speaker 8: a spot AND i like it what they're, doing but

847
00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:29,400
Speaker 8: teams are gonna start to kind of Say, okay what

848
00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:31,400
Speaker 8: are they doing? Here what do they Do Trevor lawrence

849
00:39:31,440 --> 00:39:33,319
Speaker 8: last year and why did he have such successful? Year

850
00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:35,040
Speaker 8: how do we combat? That AND i think that's the

851
00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:38,160
Speaker 8: challenge of that. Team but it feels like they've an

852
00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:39,920
Speaker 8: owner that you know is going to spend some. Money

853
00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:41,520
Speaker 8: they can go out and get some talent if they.

854
00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:44,080
Speaker 8: WANT i Think jacksonville can be a threat To, Houston

855
00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:46,120
Speaker 8: BUT i still think The texans are the best team

856
00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:46,279
Speaker 8: in the.

857
00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:47,080
Speaker 5: Division are The.

858
00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:50,239
Speaker 3: Chiefs back or is it kind of a rebuild in their,

859
00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:53,160
Speaker 3: context not a complete tear, down of, course but just

860
00:39:53,239 --> 00:39:56,839
Speaker 3: kind of a reload and they're gonna make the playoffs,

861
00:39:56,920 --> 00:39:58,319
Speaker 3: maybe but not be who they.

862
00:39:58,320 --> 00:39:59,480
Speaker 5: Were your thoughts.

863
00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:03,759
Speaker 8: Tell me When Patrick mahomes will be ready in full?

864
00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:06,239
Speaker 8: Capacity AND i THINK i could answer that question better

865
00:40:06,239 --> 00:40:09,000
Speaker 8: because we don't. Know but it seems like he's on. Track, yeah, Man,

866
00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:12,040
Speaker 8: mark he tore HIS acl late in the year last.

867
00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:15,640
Speaker 8: Year that's a nine month injury generally that takes you Into, september,

868
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:19,120
Speaker 8: Right SO i think that they should be still in the.

869
00:40:19,160 --> 00:40:21,319
Speaker 8: Mix maybe. Not they'll be better than last.

870
00:40:21,360 --> 00:40:21,520
Speaker 5: Year.

871
00:40:21,520 --> 00:40:22,680
Speaker 8: MAYBE i think a lot of things kind of went

872
00:40:22,680 --> 00:40:24,839
Speaker 8: wrong for, Them BUT i still have. QUESTIONS i, mean

873
00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:26,960
Speaker 8: the offensive line seems like it's more set, now but

874
00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:29,480
Speaker 8: there's still some questions. There and then at wide, RECEIVER i,

875
00:40:29,480 --> 00:40:30,960
Speaker 8: mean as much as work as they've done at wide,

876
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:33,160
Speaker 8: receiver you, know what do they have For Patrick mahomes

877
00:40:33,200 --> 00:40:34,520
Speaker 8: at throw? Two it seems like every time they get

878
00:40:34,560 --> 00:40:36,560
Speaker 8: to a certain, point there's a problem With, Raschi rice

879
00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:38,879
Speaker 8: or a guy doesn't work, out and you, know you figure.

880
00:40:38,920 --> 00:40:40,320
Speaker 8: Out SO i don't know what they want to do

881
00:40:40,360 --> 00:40:42,000
Speaker 8: with that. POSITION i, do, like you, Know Ken walker

882
00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:43,759
Speaker 8: now helping them a. Lot they go out and they sign.

883
00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:45,600
Speaker 8: HIM i think that's a really nice. Addition and of

884
00:40:45,640 --> 00:40:47,320
Speaker 8: course they Have Andy. Reid he's one of the greatest

885
00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:47,839
Speaker 8: coaches of all.

886
00:40:47,880 --> 00:40:49,240

00:40:56,200 --> 00:40:59,120
Speaker 8: really cognizant of what we're doing to these. Guys and

890
00:40:59,120 --> 00:41:01,160
Speaker 8: we are around these guys all the, time and we

891
00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:03,760

892
00:41:04,320 --> 00:41:07,719
Speaker 8: and you, know to be on top of everything every

893
00:41:07,760 --> 00:41:09,759
Speaker 8: week for another week and to get ready for a

894
00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:12,680
Speaker 8: football game takes a. Lot SO i don't from that,

Speaker 8: PERSPECTIVE i mean my personal. Entertainment, great give you more.

896
00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:19,520

897
00:41:19,560 --> 00:41:22,399
Speaker 8: the longest off season of all the. Sports, Right BUT i, think,

903
00:41:33,040 --> 00:41:36,279
Speaker 3: It you see them limping, around and you see the

904
00:41:36,320 --> 00:41:38,200
Speaker 3: amount of effort it takes just to get them to

905
00:41:38,239 --> 00:41:41,879

1022
00:46:09,520 --> 00:46:11,759
Speaker 3: anyway a lot to go over. Here The texans will

1023
00:46:11,800 --> 00:46:14,480
Speaker 3: be at High mark in twenty twenty. EIGHT i believe

1024
00:46:14,560 --> 00:46:17,920
Speaker 3: they'll be our next visit. There what's the international experience

1025
00:46:17,920 --> 00:46:18,440
Speaker 3: for The bills?

1026
00:46:18,520 --> 00:46:19,719
Speaker 5: Lately so Nothing this.

1027
00:46:19,800 --> 00:46:21,880
Speaker 8: YEAR i really thought The bills would get one because

1028
00:46:22,320 --> 00:46:25,279
Speaker 8: of New highmark. OPENING i, thought you know, what make

1029
00:46:25,320 --> 00:46:27,200
Speaker 8: sure you got a new, stadium everything goes, Right maybe

1030
00:46:27,200 --> 00:46:29,279
Speaker 8: give them one game away they can always work out

1031
00:46:29,280 --> 00:46:31,920
Speaker 8: The kingser's always kinks at new. Stadiums didn't get, one

1032
00:46:31,960 --> 00:46:33,680
Speaker 8: but that might be because also THE afc is not

1033
00:46:33,719 --> 00:46:36,239
Speaker 8: the home teams in the nine, games SO i think

1034
00:46:36,239 --> 00:46:39,520
Speaker 8: next year might. Be The bills went To london in twenty, three,

1035
00:46:39,960 --> 00:46:41,440
Speaker 8: right but now with all these teams GOING i really

1036
00:46:41,440 --> 00:46:43,560
Speaker 8: thought they. Would so we're. Not are The texans going?

1037
00:46:44,280 --> 00:46:46,120
Speaker 5: NOW i don't. Know, WELL i shouldn't say.

1038
00:46:46,120 --> 00:46:49,800
Speaker 3: No there's a thought that we're, due, right The texans

1039
00:46:49,800 --> 00:46:52,720
Speaker 3: are due to, Go SO i would think AN nfc

1040
00:46:52,760 --> 00:46:56,319
Speaker 3: team that has an overseas, game you might have, that but.

1041

Speaker 5: Schedule, yeah still to The jags as a.

1044
00:47:01,120 --> 00:47:05,000
