15
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 1: to international soccer matches because I've never been to one.

16
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 1: I would love to go to one. I've always said

17
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 1: I'd love to go to one, and now I'm gonna

18
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 1: have that opportunity, so I actually I can appreciate soccer.

19
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 1: I'm not the biggest MLS fan, not the biggest international fan, whatever,

20
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:06,160
Speaker 1: I love World Cup and I love Big Brand, So

21
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 1: I got a feeling that the news that Fletch gives

22
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 1: us in the next segment will be We'll be pretty

23
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 1: important for a lot of you soccer fans out there,

24
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 1: and he talks about that, so we'll I'll let him

25
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:21,120
Speaker 1: unveil that news. If you missed the news, I want to.

26
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 1: I don't want to kill the surprise if you will,

27
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:27,560
Speaker 1: so I'll let him do that. But Brian Gaine, David Fletcher,

28
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:30,319
Speaker 1: Pete Prisco a lot to do. But there's some news

29
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:34,320
Speaker 1: first and foremost Matt Khalil, a Texan that announced by

30
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 1: the team earlier this afternoon. We've talked about that, so

31
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,039
Speaker 1: I don't want to spend too much time on that,

32
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,479
Speaker 1: and we're gonna talk to Brian Gaine about that here

33
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 1: in just a little bit. But the NFL came down

34
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 1: with some news last night, and when I saw it,

35
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 1: I had to make sure I was not looking at

36
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 1: ad Nan Sharter, Adam Scheister Twitter account, you know, or

37
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 1: Brian Rappaport. I had to make sure I was looking

38
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 1: at this at the right proper account, because when I

39
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 1: saw this news, I went, WHOA, they actually did it.

40
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 1: This is something that it's so funny because Andre and

41
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 1: Mark and myself during the summer when the CFL is playing,

42
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:19,639
Speaker 1: we get on a group text and it's like, hey,

43
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,920
Speaker 1: you guys watched Skatchewan versus Edmonton. Hey you watching this?

44
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 1: And it's like, oh, that's where this guy ended up,

45
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 1: or hey, Devier Posey former Texans doing this. So we

46
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:31,360
Speaker 1: love to watch the CFL during the summer and we

47
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:32,800
Speaker 1: sort of do it together. And one of the things

48
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 1: that Andre always talks about, and I've always kind of

49
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 1: pushed against this, but Andrea says, look, passenger Fearence over

50
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 1: in Canada is reviewable, and I have always felt like

51
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:47,800
Speaker 1: that as a very slippery slope. And obviously the NFC

52
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 1: Championship game opened up Pandora's box, if you will, to

53
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:57,080
Speaker 1: all different kind of replay options, and one of those was,

54
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 1: passenger fearence is a judgment call? Can it be reviewable?

55
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 1: And if you think about the things that are reviewable

56
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 1: in the NFL right now, they're not judgment calls. I mean,

57
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 1: I guess to it agree, did he catch it, did

58
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 1: he not catch it? That kind of thing, So I

59
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 1: guess it's maybe judgment, but it was not used for

60
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 1: penalty situations. Now replay is going to be used for

61
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 1: both pass interference calls that are made pass interference calls

62
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 1: that are not made. They are not increasing the number

63
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 1: of challenges that a coach gets, so not a lot

64
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 1: of people are like, though, this is gonna make the

65
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 1: game so long. It's not increasing the number of challenges.

66
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 1: It's the same number of challenges, but both non calls

67
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 1: and called flags offensive and defensive. And I know some

68
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 1: people are like, wait a second, DeAndre Hopkins, he gets

69
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 1: that a little push off. Is he gonna get called

70
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 1: for that kind of thing? I don't know. From what

71
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 1: the NFL said last night, it is going to be

72
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 1: the blatant calls. Well, it's okay, we'll see kind of

73
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 1: how that goes. I am willing to wait and see.

74
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 1: As Andre will point out, he loves this. Did they

75
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 1: do it in Canada? They can figure out how to

76
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:17,679
Speaker 1: do it here. I felt like it was a little

77
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 1: bit of an over exaggeration or over aggressive response to

78
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:24,360
Speaker 1: the one play in the NFC Championship game. I don't

79
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:26,920
Speaker 1: know that there had been his huge outcry until then,

80
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 1: So at this point, I feel like we're going in

81
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:33,600
Speaker 1: the direction of what Bill Belichick has wanted along and

82
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 1: that is everything to be reviewed. And I'm actually I'm

83
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 1: to that point in Look, I've always been a college guy.

84
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 1: They review everything that you can't review pi offensive and

85
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 1: defensive passing in fear that you cannot you can't review those.

86
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 1: Now you can in the NFL. So I am very

87
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 1: curious to see how this is going to play out.

88
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:56,280
Speaker 1: I'm if I had a lean one way or the other,

89
00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 1: I would I would not want it to happen. But

90
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 1: that said, I can see where it's coming from, so

91
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:05,599
Speaker 1: I understand it. But I just feel like there was

92
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 1: an over exaggeration, an overaggressive move and reaction to what

93
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 1: happened in the championship game, and that's why they did it.

94
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:18,159
Speaker 1: It was almost as if we made a mistake in

95
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 1: that game, We've got to fix it. And so I

96
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:24,240
Speaker 1: get making mistakes, and sometimes when you make a mistake,

97
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 1: just say yeah, we screwed up, we messed up. We're

98
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 1: gonna hold their officials accountable. You know, we're letting go

99
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 1: of this crew. We're not gonna have all star cruise.

100
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 1: That's one I wish they would have made no all

101
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 1: star cruise in playoff games. If you're on Clit Blakemant's crew.

102
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 1: You're on Clit Blakemant's crew, and you were on Clit

103
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 1: Blakmant's crew all the way through the playoffs and the

104
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:46,799
Speaker 1: Super Bowl no more All Star Cruise. Those are terrible

105
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 1: and that's what they had in the playoffs. I think

106
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 1: that ends up being a huge problem. Just my opinion,

107
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 1: but I think that's that, to me, is a bigger

108
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 1: problem pi being reviewed. I think just the challenges with

109
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:01,919
Speaker 1: this are if you're watching the play and you don't

110
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 1: see interference, but you see defensive holding. Can you call

111
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:07,239
Speaker 1: defensive holding? I don't think you can. And that happens

112
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:08,480
Speaker 1: a lot of times. A lot of times there's a

113
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 1: defensive holding before the ball's released and then there's not

114
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 1: actually interference as the balls coming down or the balls

115
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:17,800
Speaker 1: in the air. But there was definitely a defensive holding

116
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:20,040
Speaker 1: the missed. Why are they gonna call that? Well, as

117
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 1: soon as you put that up on a video board,

118
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 1: people are gonna see that. Not understanding fully the rules

119
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 1: of past interference. You as past interference, Well, no, that

120
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:29,039
Speaker 1: was actually and it should have been defensive holding, but

121
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:31,919
Speaker 1: they're not gonna call it because it was past interference.

122
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 1: So are they gonna call it on a hail Mary's?

123
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 1: Are we gonna have to wait after a hail Mary

124
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 1: to go to review because under two minutes, just like

125
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 1: with everything else, under two minutes, the review goes upstairs.

126
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:46,560
Speaker 1: So challenges are taken out of hands and the coaches

127
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 1: at that point, and the review goes upstairs like it

128
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:53,279
Speaker 1: does now. So in a hail Mary situation, how many

129
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:56,039
Speaker 1: times I've seen guys just get just pushed into back

130
00:06:56,760 --> 00:07:00,200
Speaker 1: crazy PI fault and they probably shouldn't be called. But

131
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 1: are they gonna have to review those now? And if

132
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 1: they do, is blot gonna go to the one yard line?

133
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:07,040
Speaker 1: I mean, if that's the case the first game that

134
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:09,479
Speaker 1: I'm down by seven, man, I just throw it to

135
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:11,680
Speaker 1: the end zone and just see what happens. Try and

136
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 1: draw a penalty through interference. Maybe not even try and

137
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 1: catch it, just try and get a penalty through interference,

138
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 1: or get one through reef, get one through review. So

139
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 1: things will change. We'll see how this kind of levels out,

140
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 1: and they'll do it for a year and then next

141
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 1: show they'll vote on whether they want to make it permanent.

142
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 1: They made the kickoff rules permanent that they changed last year.

143
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 1: It was one year contract, if you will, but now

144
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 1: they've made those permanent for the kickoff rules and we'll

145
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 1: see how this goes forward with past interference. So it'll

146
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 1: be exciting to talk to Mark to see what he

147
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 1: has to say because we've had the three of us

148
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 1: had this discussion and Andre was always pushing it. I

149
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 1: think Mark and I were kind of a little resistant

150
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 1: to it, but it's now a reality. It's now a

151
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 1: way of life in the NFL, So we'll see how

152
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 1: it all plays out. Now. Mark was in Phoenix and

153
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 1: had the opportunity to catch up with GM Brian Gain.

154
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 1: Here's Mark at the owners meetings with Brian joining us

155
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 1: right now from Phoenix. It's General Manager Brian Gain. Brian,

156
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 1: what are these meetings like for you going through this process?

157
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 1: I know this is here too, but now that you've

158
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:16,120
Speaker 1: been in the flow a little bit, you know, I

159
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:17,960
Speaker 1: would describe it as a state of the union as

160
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 1: it relates to the league, and you know where we

161
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 1: are right now moving forward. You know, there's obviously a

162
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 1: significant emphasis on this experience this week on players safety,

163
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 1: something we all encourage, something we all endorse. So any

164
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:33,440
Speaker 1: opportunity to improve assend and develop those areas for the

165
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:36,960
Speaker 1: player's safety. It's critically important learning about the rules, the

166
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 1: projections of any possible changes, learning the dynamics of those rules,

167
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 1: absorbing those, digesting digesting those to make sure that we're

168
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:48,200
Speaker 1: all getting arriving too the best solution for the league

169
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:50,600
Speaker 1: and what we think is best obviously for the Texans

170
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:53,080
Speaker 1: as well. You know, equally, you're here with your peers.

171
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:55,959
Speaker 1: It's a unique circumstance to be here with thirty two teams,

172
00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 1: all the head coaches, the general manager's ownership, and some

173
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:03,200
Speaker 1: degree families. You see them with their families. So from

174
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 1: a camaraderie standpoint in the profession, that's kind of an

175
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:09,600
Speaker 1: intangible experience here that I've enjoyed. Well, one thing I

176
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:12,559
Speaker 1: find interesting is it's so competitive, but you see these

177
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 1: coaches talking, and many of that really are friends. I

178
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 1: know you're friends with so many guys from around the league.

179
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,120
Speaker 1: You've worked with a lot of these guys. Yeah, I've

180
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 1: had a great opportunity, obviously to be in the league

181
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:25,080
Speaker 1: here with four different organizations, and I've learned something from

182
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:27,840
Speaker 1: from every experience that I've had, you know, from the owners,

183
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 1: from the general managers, the head coaches, the various relationships.

184
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 1: You know, it's also a good chance it almost feels

185
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:37,040
Speaker 1: like indirectly like a workshop here where you're here with

186
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 1: your peers and you have the opportunity to maybe exchange

187
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 1: some ideas and you have them in a maybe in

188
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 1: a moment where you know, you're just sitting there eating

189
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 1: a meal and you're talking about, you know, your draft process,

190
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:49,840
Speaker 1: or you're talking about, you know, maybe some experience that

191
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 1: you've had negotiating with players, just using those as examples,

192
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 1: or maybe there's a there's something they're doing procedurally in

193
00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 1: terms of how they build their draft board. Unique circumstances

194
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:04,240
Speaker 1: and experiences that we can share on an individual basis

195
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 1: that maybe you can learn a thing or two when

196
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 1: you come here. Well, we talked to you at the combine.

197
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 1: I know this is such a long process really, but

198
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 1: as the league year got going, you started to sign

199
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:16,680
Speaker 1: some guys, and particularly on the back end early ish

200
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 1: you got going with Tshaun Gibson, with Bradley Roby, with

201
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 1: Bria Body Calhoun. How did these guys help you out

202
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:24,679
Speaker 1: in the back end. Yeah, So unique circumstance for us

203
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:27,040
Speaker 1: this offseason. We had some key free agents going into

204
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 1: the market here going into the winter, and we wish

205
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:33,040
Speaker 1: those guys well who departed, they have great opportunities elsewhere.

206
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 1: But as it relates to the Texans, you know to

207
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:37,080
Speaker 1: Shaun Gibson is coming here to be one of our

208
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 1: starting safeties, someone were uniquely familiar with because we played

209
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:43,320
Speaker 1: him twice a year with the Jaguars. He's five eleven,

210
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:45,440
Speaker 1: two hundred and ten pounds. We think he's got a

211
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:48,560
Speaker 1: fully dimensional skill set as it relates to playing man coverage,

212
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 1: playing zone coverage. He can support the run, he's a

213
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 1: good tackler, he's a good communicator. He can play on

214
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 1: the back end, he can come down and play in

215
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 1: the box, and obviously he has experienced playing in the AFC. South.

216
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:03,040
Speaker 1: Bradley Robie was a player that we're uniquely uniquely familiar

217
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:05,160
Speaker 1: with as well because we've played Denver frequently here in

218
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 1: the last few years. Eleven hundred ninety pounds, former first

219
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:11,520
Speaker 1: round draft pick, ran four to three coming out, can

220
00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 1: play man coverage. We're interested in that been to the

221
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 1: Super Bowl, so he's had a taste of success. Had

222
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 1: an opportunity to start last year. It was a one

223
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 1: year deal that we got done with him, we're expecting

224
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:23,680
Speaker 1: him to come in and be a starter for us

225
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 1: with Boddy Calhoun. He wasn't tendered as an RFA at Cleveland.

226
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:29,680
Speaker 1: He's had great experience playing in the nickel position, but

227
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:31,840
Speaker 1: also as had been a hybrid player and he's played

228
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:34,440
Speaker 1: at this in the safety safety position as well. He

229
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:37,200
Speaker 1: also was a good gunner on special team, so added

230
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 1: some depth and versatility with him. But we've been pleased

231
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 1: with what we've been able to do in the offseason

232
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 1: here as it relates to the back end on the

233
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:47,000
Speaker 1: defense to continually partner up with what we think as

234
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:48,680
Speaker 1: a strength of our team is the front seven of

235
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 1: our defense. All right, So offensively up front, Darren Fells

236
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:54,600
Speaker 1: at tight end, what does he bring to the table

237
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:57,400
Speaker 1: for you? Darren has a great amount of experience being

238
00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 1: what we call a why blocking presence in the running game,

239
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:02,960
Speaker 1: big body dimension at the edge and line of scrimmage.

240
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:05,560
Speaker 1: He's border line sixty seven two hundred and sixty pounds

241
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 1: and he's a big target in the passing game. But

242
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:11,679
Speaker 1: for us, we see that he'll have a significant presence

243
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 1: for us as it relates to the rushing attack, and

244
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 1: that was something we wanted to address at some point

245
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:18,080
Speaker 1: this offseason, so we were pleased to get an opportunity

246
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:20,560
Speaker 1: to get him. He's also a guy with veteran experience.

247
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:22,320
Speaker 1: He's known to be a very good mentor, a very

248
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:25,560
Speaker 1: good locker room guy, very good football character. His work

249
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:28,400
Speaker 1: ethic isn't tangible, so we're pleased to add him. Matt

250
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:31,120
Speaker 1: Khalil on the offensive line, He's got some experience, He's

251
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:33,440
Speaker 1: had some injury issues, but he's got some ability. So

252
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:35,719
Speaker 1: Matt has been a documented starting left tackle in the

253
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:38,640
Speaker 1: league two different organizations. You know, he started in the

254
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:42,839
Speaker 1: NFL left tackle for sixteen games for four straight seasons. Unfortunately,

255
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:44,720
Speaker 1: in two thou and sixteen he dealt with injury and

256
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 1: missed that season, but he returned in twenty seventeen to

257
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:50,200
Speaker 1: play a full sixteen game season in the playoff game

258
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 1: versus the Saints when he was with Carolina, and unfortunately

259
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 1: in two and eighteen he incurred a knee injury. We

260
00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 1: think he's gonna be fine, gonna be ready to go

261
00:12:58,440 --> 00:12:59,960
Speaker 1: by the time we get to the season. We're gonna

262
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,439
Speaker 1: work real hard to make sure that he's ready to

263
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:04,440
Speaker 1: go when we kick off here September. First, he's going

264
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 1: to arrive here with the Texans in a compete to

265
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 1: start role. He's got a great opportunity in front of

266
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:11,559
Speaker 1: him and that'll be something interesting to watch here between

267
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 1: him and Julian Davenport. Now the one year deal this

268
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 1: is going around for the Houston Texans. He did it

269
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:19,120
Speaker 1: last year with Tyrant. You have a few this year.

270
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:21,040
Speaker 1: How does that help you? How does it help the player?

271
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 1: And perhaps it's an opportunity for them to get to

272
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:24,560
Speaker 1: know us. It's an opportunity for us to get to

273
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:27,120
Speaker 1: know them and to make a decision as it relates

274
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 1: to a long term extension. But sometimes the market dictates that.

275
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 1: Sometimes the free agency market will will allow that the

276
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:36,440
Speaker 1: free agency starts and perhaps maybe it did go your way,

277
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 1: perhaps it didn't, But maybe if there's a marriage from

278
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 1: both sides and there's a willing partnership to hey, let's

279
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:43,800
Speaker 1: let's see if we can make this work. So sometimes

280
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:46,719
Speaker 1: the market dictates that, and sometimes it's a position that

281
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:49,520
Speaker 1: we want to pursue to see if it's a marriage

282
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 1: that we could work out long term. In this situation

283
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:54,719
Speaker 1: where Braleot did, and in this situation with mccoola did

284
00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 1: with the old line, you mentioned Julia Davenport briefly there,

285
00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:00,760
Speaker 1: and the development of an offensive lineman takes a while

286
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:03,240
Speaker 1: very often, and you have to balance that out between

287
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:05,599
Speaker 1: you need results right away, but sometimes it takes a

288
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:07,600
Speaker 1: few years for these guys to really reach their peak.

289
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:09,920
Speaker 1: It does, it does. As it relates to Julian, you know,

290
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:11,760
Speaker 1: this will be year three for him, coming from what

291
00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:14,680
Speaker 1: I would consider a smaller school program, and it's another

292
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 1: year of developments, another offseason under his belt here. I

293
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 1: think he'll be even better going into next year because

294
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:22,240
Speaker 1: of that and because of his experience as experiences that

295
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 1: he had this year as a starter. And if you

296
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 1: remember Earli in a year he played left, he played right,

297
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 1: so he offers that versatility as well, depending on how

298
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 1: things unravel. We've got Santral Henderson back on a one

299
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 1: year deal as well. Unfortunately he got hurt Game one

300
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 1: last year, but he was trending all the positive things.

301
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:38,360
Speaker 1: We're trending in the right direction as it related to

302
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:41,280
Speaker 1: his preseason performance and even the few rep reps that

303
00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 1: he played in that New England game. You know, we

304
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:45,520
Speaker 1: were pleased with Zach Fulton. Nick Martin played a full

305
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:47,920
Speaker 1: sixteen game season. We're very happy with that, as he

306
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 1: struggled with injury his first two years and Seniol killing

307
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,240
Speaker 1: Meat Day was a solid fine for us playing left guard.

308
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:56,200
Speaker 1: So greg Mans comes back off the bench. So we're

309
00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 1: pleased with that. We got some options here. We're going

310
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 1: to be a year better with the experience with some

311
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 1: of the younger players ascending. So we're open for a

312
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 1: very positive off season. Another year a cohesion, another year

313
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:07,800
Speaker 1: working together with that group. Yeah. How helpful will it

314
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:10,120
Speaker 1: be for Martinez rank and to have that off season

315
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 1: healthy getting ready for the campaign? Yeah, failed to mentioned Martinez.

316
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:16,920
Speaker 1: This is a great opportunity for him. And very often

317
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 1: in off season programs, the rookies or once they complete

318
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:22,960
Speaker 1: their rookie season, they make their biggest jumps in their

319
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 1: first of all off season after their rookie campaign. So

320
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:28,520
Speaker 1: we're excited about Martinez. He was a starting left tackle

321
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:31,640
Speaker 1: in the SEC for US. He played left tackle last

322
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 1: year and some guard. We think we consider him an

323
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 1: offensive lineman. He's going to have a great, great opportunity

324
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 1: to compete to start either at the tackle position or

325
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 1: the guard position, and may the best man wins. So

326
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:44,720
Speaker 1: time will tell how that unravels. But we're excited about

327
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:47,320
Speaker 1: his prospectives. As it relates that coming into the off season,

328
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:49,920
Speaker 1: one month away from the draft, what is the focus

329
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:52,280
Speaker 1: on right now and crunch time to get ready for that.

330
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:54,400
Speaker 1: So we feel we had a very good process leading

331
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:56,720
Speaker 1: through February and then the Combine. We had our February

332
00:15:56,800 --> 00:16:00,360
Speaker 1: meetings leading into the combine preparation we executed. We needed

333
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:02,240
Speaker 1: to get out of it from the Combine, from the

334
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:05,520
Speaker 1: physical performance standpoint and interviews and the medical and we're

335
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 1: into this phase of the pro days now. You know,

336
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:09,760
Speaker 1: the month of March is heavily populated with the pro days.

337
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:13,400
Speaker 1: Our scouts are descending on the schools and the universities

338
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 1: to do one final evaluation for the players, sourcing just

339
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:19,920
Speaker 1: to find any more background information that we could use,

340
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:22,280
Speaker 1: and then it leads into our final draft meetings. Here

341
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 1: in the early portions of April. We'll get back to

342
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:26,920
Speaker 1: a Wednesday at issue of Texans all Access from the

343

Speaker 1: there that follow the international soccer scene. This news, Fletch

369
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:52,320
Speaker 1: is huge for the city of Houston. I couldn't agree more.

370
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:55,480
Speaker 1: I mean, we are very excited, as was announced earlier today,

371
00:17:55,560 --> 00:18:01,879
Speaker 1: to welcome Real Madrid and Bayern Munich to Houston Saturday,

372
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:05,879
Speaker 1: July twentieth, a night game at NRG Stadium, part of

373
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:08,720
Speaker 1: the International Champions Cup for twenty nineteen, two of the

374
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:12,960
Speaker 1: arguably three biggest soccer brands in the world and it's

375
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 1: coming back to Houston for what will be an outstanding

376
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:19,359
Speaker 1: night of football here at the stadium. So this is

377
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 1: the same tournament that a couple of years ago we

378
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:25,960
Speaker 1: had the Manchester Derby here correct corituas man City and

379
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:28,440
Speaker 1: MANU So it's the same tournament and they're coming back

380
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:31,560
Speaker 1: to Houston. First of all, Fletch, ay, why would they

381
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:34,520
Speaker 1: do that? And b I guess I can answer my

382
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:37,160
Speaker 1: only question. It must have been successful enough the first

383
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:38,880
Speaker 1: time that they want to come back a second time

384
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:40,880
Speaker 1: and brand a couple of other key brands here. Well.

385
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:44,439
Speaker 1: The ICC has grown into the premier preseason tournament in

386
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:48,640
Speaker 1: the world of soccer as it relates to clubs. This

387
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:51,399
Speaker 1: event will be in the Americas and around the world

388
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 1: for the seventh time this summer, and we are very

389
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:57,280
Speaker 1: fortunate to bring back a match here for the second time.

390
00:18:57,280 --> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 1: You mentioned the Derby in twenty seventeen. Almost any thousand

391
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:03,040
Speaker 1: in the building for that spectacle, you know, I mean

392
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:05,920
Speaker 1: you had every celebrity in Houston, from JJ to to

393
00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:08,120
Speaker 1: Drake was in town. I mean it was a big

394
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:10,200
Speaker 1: deal to see those two play in the first ever

395
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:14,400
Speaker 1: UH match outside the UK. For those storied teams, this

396
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:18,480
Speaker 1: UM is definitely at least on par with, if not

397
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:22,760
Speaker 1: even bigger in terms of scale. Real Madrid arguably the

398
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:27,080
Speaker 1: biggest brand in all of sports in the world. Yes,

399
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:30,679
Speaker 1: even bigger than the Cowboys, the Yankees, you name it.

400
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:33,919
Speaker 1: I mean Real Madrid and their their star studded roster,

401
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:37,760
Speaker 1: which UH will will include this summer. We fully expect

402
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:43,240
Speaker 1: to the likes of Gareth Bale of of UM, sorry

403
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:47,760
Speaker 1: Gareth Bale of UH, Sergio Ramos. Of course, they announced

404
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:51,480
Speaker 1: earlier this month that their their all world head coach,

405
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:55,600
Speaker 1: zesus Is ontz On returned as UH to the head

406
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:58,760
Speaker 1: coaching chair after a year hiatus. So UM, you know,

407
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 1: anytime you hear the words Real Madrid UM, it is

408
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:06,640
Speaker 1: synonymous with success, the most storied and winning his soccer

409
00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:09,560
Speaker 1: team in the history of the world from a club level.

410
00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 1: And then on the other side, Bayern Munich UM, who

411
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:17,640
Speaker 1: has equalled in in stature, if not in championships. Uh,

412
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:22,200
Speaker 1: champions of the Bundesliga, have won the Champions League many

413
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 1: many times. You've got huge world brands like Modric, like

414
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:31,840
Speaker 1: Heimus Rodriguez, like Thomas Mueller that are on that team. Um.

415
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:35,280
Speaker 1: And when you have those star studded players on the field,

416
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:38,240
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter if it's quote a friendly, They're gonna

417
00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:40,480
Speaker 1: get up for those kind of games. When I heard

418
00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:44,720
Speaker 1: Charlie still Atano, the chairman of of Relevant and ICC

419
00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:47,919
Speaker 1: today at the announcement, say, uh, big gets up for

420
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:51,720
Speaker 1: big And that's exactly That's exactly what happens to tournaments,

421
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:53,800
Speaker 1: you know, and so um. You know, when you look

422
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:58,639
Speaker 1: at at the at the history of the soccer events

423
00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:01,760
Speaker 1: we've had in this community. I mean, every single year,

424
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:04,640
Speaker 1: major events are coming to Houston. Even just last night's

425
00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:07,879
Speaker 1: US men's national team draw with Chile over at BBA

426
00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:10,840
Speaker 1: Compass a great night for Houston. As you know, Johnny,

427
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:13,240
Speaker 1: as we've talked about, Houston absolutely is one of the

428
00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:16,760
Speaker 1: premier destinations for soccer in the world. We're a finalist

429
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:19,040
Speaker 1: for the World Cup in this type of event, this

430
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:23,280
Speaker 1: July will only add to that story and hopefully for

431
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:27,240
Speaker 1: us well will end in um in another chapter of

432
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:29,879
Speaker 1: of World Cup success here two years from now, Fletch,

433
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:33,800
Speaker 1: I'll ask this and maybe the answer is easier than

434
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:37,720
Speaker 1: I than I see. But why has that become the case?

435
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:40,840
Speaker 1: I mean, we have had so many I mean I

436
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:43,800
Speaker 1: think about since coming back to Houston in two thousand

437
00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:46,720
Speaker 1: and seven and being in the building since twenty fourteen,

438
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:51,800
Speaker 1: just even since twenty fourteen, the number of World club

439
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:54,480
Speaker 1: teams that we've seen, like you said, Manchester United Man

440
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:58,280
Speaker 1: You uh Real, Madrid, Bayern, Munich. I mean to see

441
00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:01,600
Speaker 1: these teams come in here. The number of friendlies that

442
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:05,359
Speaker 1: Mexico has played in here. Uh what uh we had

443
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:08,640
Speaker 1: was a Gold Cup we had a couple of years ago. Yeah,

444
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:11,520
Speaker 1: it's been well, we'll have it back here again this summer. Yeah,

445
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:16,360
Speaker 1: narg Why Houston become that destination? Well, I think there's

446
00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:18,600
Speaker 1: a couple of reasons that stand out first and foremost,

447
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:21,320
Speaker 1: and it starts obviously with Jamie Roods and the McNair family,

448
00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 1: their investment very early on in NRG Stadium then Reliance

449
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:28,440
Speaker 1: Stadium in bringing the beautiful game to to Houston. UM.

450
00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:31,280
Speaker 1: You know, Jamie was a huge champion and still is

451
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:34,080
Speaker 1: of the soccer efforts and UH. In two thousand and three,

452
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:37,199
Speaker 1: he led the group to convince the US Soccer to

453
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:41,359
Speaker 1: bring a major international match to Reliant Stadium when really

454
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 1: that hadn't been something people had done, and all it

455
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:46,360
Speaker 1: did was have seventy thousand people in it and kind

456
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:48,919
Speaker 1: of sparked the success that led to the Dynamo UH

457
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:51,920
Speaker 1: and their inception here. So UM, you know, obviously having

458
00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:54,200
Speaker 1: great champions like that is a is a huge part

459
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:57,520
Speaker 1: of the story. UH. Houston in itself, You've got this

460
00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:01,159
Speaker 1: beautiful facility, You've got incredible air you know, Houston is

461
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:04,440
Speaker 1: the number one hub for United Airlines in the world.

462
00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 1: It's the gateway to Latin America, which is so prominent

463
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:10,800
Speaker 1: when it comes to the business of soccer. Um, Houston

464
00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:13,920
Speaker 1: is the most diverse community in America. And so when

465
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:16,200
Speaker 1: when you look at the game of soccer, it's such

466
00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:21,119
Speaker 1: a global enterprise, a community like Houston is perfectly situated

467
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:23,480
Speaker 1: for it. And then I think, I think you add

468
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:26,080
Speaker 1: in the fact that you know, we have been able

469
00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:29,280
Speaker 1: to continue to draw big events and going off at

470
00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:32,400
Speaker 1: Charlie's line from earlier, big brings big, right, I mean,

471
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:35,960
Speaker 1: we've hosted Copa America Centenario among the elite cities in

472
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:38,879
Speaker 1: the country. We've hosted Gold Cup every year in this market,

473
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:41,880
Speaker 1: whether it be here or over at BBVA since two

474
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:45,800
Speaker 1: thousand and five. We have done major international events as

475
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:48,960
Speaker 1: big as any other markets. So when opportunities like this

476
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:53,000
Speaker 1: come to to come to the table, we're absolutely jump

477
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:56,320
Speaker 1: in front and center. And again we're we're vying for

478
00:23:56,359 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 1: a World Cup, an opportunity to host in twenty twenty six,

479
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:03,240
Speaker 1: Houston one of the seventeen finalists in the US, of

480
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:07,320
Speaker 1: which they'll select ten. Being able to show, you know,

481
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:09,560
Speaker 1: what we have been able to do over the last

482
00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:11,800
Speaker 1: fifteen years is great. What we're able to do over

483
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:14,400
Speaker 1: the next two years is even better. So as a community,

484
00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:16,919
Speaker 1: it's really important for us to have these events and

485
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:18,920
Speaker 1: for them to look great, just like last night's event

486
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:21,440
Speaker 1: did over a BBVA. All right, fletch timeline this for me.

Speaker 1: Harris Football ANNLST a sideline reporter for your Houston Texans

530
00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:36,000
Speaker 1: and glad to be with you. I went to Texas

531
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:39,480
Speaker 1: A and M Pro Day yesterday. Not a whole lot

532
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:41,560
Speaker 1: coming out of there. The guys that went to to

533
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:43,280
Speaker 1: combine for the Aggies, and I think they had eight

534
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:44,680
Speaker 1: of them, maybe nine. They had a lot of guys

535
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:48,000
Speaker 1: that went to combine. They pretty much rested on what

536
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:49,920
Speaker 1: they did at the combines, so some really good testing

537
00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:53,560
Speaker 1: from Eric McCoy, good testing from Trevion Williams. They did

538
00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:57,040
Speaker 1: position drills. You Donovan Wilson didn't run his forty still,

539
00:26:57,119 --> 00:26:59,200
Speaker 1: so I don't know what that's all about. But either way,

540
00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:02,040
Speaker 1: a M yes today and then on Thursday, I'm gonna

541
00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:03,960
Speaker 1: head over the University Houston and I'll give you an

542
00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:07,760
Speaker 1: update on that on Friday from what I'm able to see,

543
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:10,359
Speaker 1: because I think it'll be John mcclainon with Mark will

544
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:13,200
Speaker 1: double check with that. But University used to pro Day tomorrow,

545
00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:19,800
Speaker 1: so Ed Oliver would be the feature film there. To watch.

546
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:23,320
Speaker 1: The more I think about it, the more I think

547
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:26,680
Speaker 1: Ed may not do a full testing gamut. I don't

548
00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:29,119
Speaker 1: know what tells me that. I just I feel like

549
00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:31,840
Speaker 1: that might be the case that Ed's not going to

550
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:35,560
Speaker 1: do all of the testing, or maybe any of the testing.

551
00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:38,719
Speaker 1: He maybe just does position drills. All he did at

552
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:41,520
Speaker 1: the combine was bench press, which was extraordinary. I think

553
00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:44,760
Speaker 1: it was thirty two reps. He did the vertical jump

554
00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:46,439
Speaker 1: into the broad jump. That was it. He didn't do

555
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:48,160
Speaker 1: any of the movement drills on the field. He didn't

556
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:53,280
Speaker 1: do any of the the position drills. Ed's kind of kind

557
00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:55,040
Speaker 1: of marches to the beat of his own drums. So

558
00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:58,160
Speaker 1: there might be a thought that he's just not gonna

559
00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:01,680
Speaker 1: do it. And I've thought about this. I don't know

560
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:04,960
Speaker 1: if I'm ed, whether I do it. Yeah, the Scots

561
00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:07,199
Speaker 1: might be upset, Scots might be mad. But look, it

562
00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:09,160
Speaker 1: takes one team to fall in love with you. And

563
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:11,480
Speaker 1: if Ed Oliver, if there's some teams that say we're

564
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:14,760
Speaker 1: not drafting him because we're taking a stance we're not

565
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:17,639
Speaker 1: gonna do this, some team in the twenties that went

566
00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:20,440
Speaker 1: to the playoffs last year is like, wait, you guys

567
00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:23,640
Speaker 1: left Ed Oliver on the board. We'll take him, We'll

568
00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:26,240
Speaker 1: draft him. I'm not saying the Texans will do that.

569
00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:28,760
Speaker 1: I'm not saying the Texans won't do that, but just saying,

570
00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:32,240
Speaker 1: if you take a stance like that because you're upset

571
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:34,440
Speaker 1: because he didn't work out or he did it his way,

572
00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:38,040
Speaker 1: or however, the team's gonnadraft, it's gonna take one team

573
00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:40,360
Speaker 1: that falls in love with him. That's it. That's all

574
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:42,960
Speaker 1: it's gonna take. So, yeah, Scots might be upset. Oh,

575
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:45,800
Speaker 1: we wanted to come see him. I just the more

576
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:47,960
Speaker 1: I thought about, the more I think maybe he's not

577
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:50,120
Speaker 1: gonna do anything. But I'm gonna go over there and

578
00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:52,040
Speaker 1: find out. I hope he does, because I do think

579
00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:54,720
Speaker 1: that Ed would end up testing very very well. I

580
00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:56,640
Speaker 1: think the one thing that I'm pretty sure he won't

581
00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:59,160
Speaker 1: do is measure again, because Ed, I don't think he's

582
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:01,400
Speaker 1: ever been two eighty seven in his life, and I

583
00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:03,480
Speaker 1: don't think he will test at two eighty seven if

584
00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:05,880
Speaker 1: he's gonna do other testing. So I don't know that

585
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:08,440
Speaker 1: he's gonna do any of the measure I don't think

586
00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:10,560
Speaker 1: he's gonna see how tall he is or see how

587
00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:13,760
Speaker 1: much he weighs. If he's gonna test, I guarantee he doesn't.

588
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:15,880
Speaker 1: If he's not gonna test, he might just hop up

589
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:17,600
Speaker 1: there and be two eighty seven again. And then when

590
00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:19,520
Speaker 1: he shows up the training camp, he's gonna be or

591
00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:22,040
Speaker 1: rookie muny camp, he's gonna be two eighty or two

592
00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:24,160
Speaker 1: somewhere between two seventy five two eighty because that's what

593
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:27,160
Speaker 1: he played at. Let's let's be clear about that. So

594
00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:31,160
Speaker 1: I'm curious to see what he does if he does.

595
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:34,800
Speaker 1: But the more I think about it, because I thought

596
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:36,920
Speaker 1: about this with Donovan Wilson yesterday at Texas A and

597
00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:39,240
Speaker 1: M at Texas An, he didn't run the forty, and

598
00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:41,000
Speaker 1: I thought, man, what's he doing? In the thought wait

599
00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:43,800
Speaker 1: a second, Now, Donovan's not in quite the position to

600
00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:47,480
Speaker 1: ed is, but he didn't run the forty. But you've

601
00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:49,160
Speaker 1: seen him on the field. You know he's plenty fast.

602
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:52,000
Speaker 1: My question would be for Donovan, like why aren't you running?

603
00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:53,600
Speaker 1: Is there something that you're worried about? Yeah, I know

604
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:55,360
Speaker 1: he's got a growing injury, but you did everything else,

605
00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:57,800
Speaker 1: even the position drills where you got a sprint forty yards,

606
00:29:57,800 --> 00:29:59,880
Speaker 1: Like why are you not? Why are not running? Where

607
00:29:59,920 --> 00:30:02,840
Speaker 1: you trying to hide something with Ed. Ed's thought to

608
00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:05,280
Speaker 1: be a top fifteen talent, a top ten talent, or

609
00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:08,600
Speaker 1: a top five talent, depending on where your bread is buttered.

610
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:11,680
Speaker 1: But there's gonna be a team in the bottom half

611
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:13,760
Speaker 1: of the round that says you left him on the

612
00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:17,120
Speaker 1: board for us, We'll take him. We don't care. We

613
00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:19,400
Speaker 1: saw what he could do, we know the athlete he is.

614
00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:21,960
Speaker 1: We try to start scouts of what we saw. We'll

615
00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:25,200
Speaker 1: draft him and may not have met with him, but

616
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:26,920
Speaker 1: they see him on the board. So it just takes

617
00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:28,440
Speaker 1: one team to fall in love with the guy no

618
00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:30,600
Speaker 1: matter what he does. At that point. I kind of

619
00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:33,080
Speaker 1: feel like that's gonna happen to Ed, and maybe there's

620
00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:35,600
Speaker 1: no maybe there's nothing to be gained by doing anything

621
00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:37,800
Speaker 1: in pro day, So we'll find out tomorrow. I'll be

622
00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:40,280
Speaker 1: over there at University Houston and try and give you

623
00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:42,320
Speaker 1: some Twitter updates when it's all said and done at

624
00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:46,040
Speaker 1: Jahr's football. So go check that out, all right, CBS Sports.

625
00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:49,360
Speaker 1: Pete prisco sat down with Mark Vanimber at the owner's

626
00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:53,600
Speaker 1: meetings and here you go, joining us right now in Phoenix.

627
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:57,680
Speaker 1: Pete Priscoe, CBS Sports how's it going, Pete. I'm doing great.

628
00:30:57,720 --> 00:30:59,800
Speaker 1: It's been a while since we caught up, so let's

629
00:30:59,840 --> 00:31:03,479
Speaker 1: do some catching up. AFC South. I know you're an expert.

630
00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:06,240
Speaker 1: You talk about this an awful lot, So what are

631
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:09,040
Speaker 1: you thinking here? Going into twenty nineteen? The Colts looked

632
00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:12,080
Speaker 1: really good down the stretch, and the Texans were on

633
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:15,040
Speaker 1: the bad end of a couple of their wins, including

634
00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:17,320
Speaker 1: the playoff victory. Yeah, I think it's wide open. I

635
00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:18,920
Speaker 1: think that division any one of those teams can win

636
00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:22,760
Speaker 1: it again. Look, the Texans to me are one of

637
00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:25,360
Speaker 1: the most intriguing teams, but until they fix that offensive line,

638
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:28,080
Speaker 1: I can't say they're the best team in the division.

639
00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:30,680
Speaker 1: I worry about that line, and they have to really

640
00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:32,520
Speaker 1: do a lot in this draft. If they can address

641
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:34,760
Speaker 1: that in a draft a couple of different ways, then

642
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:36,960
Speaker 1: I can look and say, Okay, well, the Texans are back,

643
00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:40,080
Speaker 1: and you know Watson is fantastic, but he got hit

644
00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:42,440
Speaker 1: so many times last year and anybody got sacked sixty

645
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:44,800
Speaker 1: four times, wasn't it last year? Way too many? And

646
00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:47,200
Speaker 1: he can move, so that tells the offensive lines a

647
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:49,120
Speaker 1: major issue. But I think the division as a whole

648
00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:51,400
Speaker 1: is wide open. I think the Texans are will be

649
00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:53,560
Speaker 1: very good again. I think the Colts, you know, a

650
00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:55,680
Speaker 1: lot of good young players. They have the best quarterback

651
00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:57,800
Speaker 1: in the division. I know the Texans fans probably don't

652
00:31:57,800 --> 00:31:59,640
Speaker 1: want to hear that, but Andrew Lux the better player.

653
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:02,600
Speaker 1: And then in Jacksonville that defense, you know, for all

654
00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:04,200
Speaker 1: the run the Colts are on at the end of

655
00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:06,960
Speaker 1: the year, Jacksonville shut them out when they were on

656
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:09,320
Speaker 1: that run. That defense can still play. And now they

657
00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:12,040
Speaker 1: add Nick Foles, and then Tennessee is, you know, going

658
00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:14,880
Speaker 1: to be the typical Tennessee team, tough, physical and probably

659
00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:17,240
Speaker 1: run the football. How long do you think they stick

660
00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:19,240
Speaker 1: with Mariota. I mean, obviously they have a lot of

661
00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:21,880
Speaker 1: vested in him, but it's not working out quite as

662
00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:23,600
Speaker 1: well as they at Hope. Now that's a good question

663
00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:26,320
Speaker 1: because you look at this is a big year for Mariota,

664
00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:29,080
Speaker 1: and I think they're trying to help him, giving him

665
00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:31,720
Speaker 1: some some people on the outside. I think they still

666
00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:35,200
Speaker 1: have to draft some wide receiver. But yeah, this is

667
00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:36,800
Speaker 1: a big year for him. He's got to go in

668
00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:38,760
Speaker 1: there and prove that he's the long term answer. I

669
00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:41,480
Speaker 1: think there's still some doubt whether he is and I

670
00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:43,600
Speaker 1: think there's people even in that building probably have doubts

671
00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:46,400
Speaker 1: whether he is Pete Prisco CBS Sports joining us. How's

672
00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:48,960
Speaker 1: it going to work with Nick Foles at Jacksonville. They

673
00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:51,040
Speaker 1: have to build that offense around him. I think he's

674
00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:53,960
Speaker 1: a guy that if everything around him goes well, he

675
00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:56,560
Speaker 1: can play well. We saw that in the playoffs. I

676
00:32:56,560 --> 00:32:58,200
Speaker 1: think he was fantastic a couple of years ago in

677
00:32:58,200 --> 00:32:59,880
Speaker 1: the playoffs. But again I go back to this year

678
00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:03,440
Speaker 1: in the postseason game against the Saints. I think that's

679
00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:05,840
Speaker 1: a perfect microcosm of who Nick Foles is. He was

680
00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:09,320
Speaker 1: outstanding for a quarter and a half, average to below

681
00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:11,240
Speaker 1: average for two quarters, and then came on in the

682
00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:12,840
Speaker 1: fourth quarter and had a chance to win the game.

683
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:15,520
Speaker 1: You know, Austan Jeffrey dropped the ball that was intercepted.

684
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:17,880
Speaker 1: For me, that's who he is. He's gonna be up,

685
00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:20,960
Speaker 1: he's gonna be down, He's going to be average, I

686
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:22,760
Speaker 1: think when you add it all up. But they had

687
00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:24,920
Speaker 1: to do it. They had no other options. I mean,

688
00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:26,520
Speaker 1: they could have gotten a draft, but this regime needs

689
00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:29,040
Speaker 1: to win, and so they decided to pay Nick Foles.

690
00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:31,120
Speaker 1: And now they just got to figure out what they're

691
00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:33,200
Speaker 1: doing around him because the offense has to be better.

692
00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:36,080
Speaker 1: The AFC South came into existence in two thousand and

693
00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:39,080
Speaker 1: two and the Texans joined the NFL. So when you

694
00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:41,520
Speaker 1: look at all time quarterbacks in the history of the division,

695
00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:44,400
Speaker 1: which isn't that long, Peyton Manning's obviously number one. Who

696
00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:47,000
Speaker 1: do you think is number two? Is it Steve McNair,

697
00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:49,760
Speaker 1: is it somebody else? We're not thinking if markus Sell

698
00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:52,680
Speaker 1: was around, Andrew Luck, Andrew Luck. Yeah, Andrew Lux, it's

699
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:55,120
Speaker 1: Peyton Manning one. Then Andrew Luck too, and the Colts

700
00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:57,280
Speaker 1: got them both. Yeah, they got both. I mean yeah,

701
00:33:57,520 --> 00:33:59,080
Speaker 1: that was the way that worked out, was perfect for

702
00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:01,960
Speaker 1: that franchise. I mean, look, that team isn't that good.

703
00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:05,400
Speaker 1: It's building to something, but he, you know, takes them

704
00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:07,760
Speaker 1: over the top because he can carry a team. What

705
00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:09,879
Speaker 1: about the Patriots, what are you thinking here as far

706
00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:12,880
Speaker 1: as Brady Belichick and how long it might go? You know,

707
00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:14,480
Speaker 1: every year we try and count them out, right, I

708
00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:16,840
Speaker 1: mean every single year, everybody says, oh, this is the

709
00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:18,239
Speaker 1: year the Patriots go down. They said it in the

710
00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:20,239
Speaker 1: middle of the season. Last year, Jacksonville blew them out

711
00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:23,040
Speaker 1: and everybody said, oh, they're done. And Tennessee beat them

712
00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:26,000
Speaker 1: and they're not any good. Well, you can't count the

713
00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:29,440
Speaker 1: Patriots out unless they play poorly in December, right and

714
00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:32,480
Speaker 1: if they're playing, because they always go up as the

715
00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:35,799
Speaker 1: season moves along. Belichick's great at building that team as

716
00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:38,560
Speaker 1: the season moves along. He moves experiments early in the season,

717
00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:40,359
Speaker 1: moves guys around and stuff, and then figures it out

718
00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:41,799
Speaker 1: at the end of the year. So can they do

719
00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:44,160
Speaker 1: it again this year? Sure? Even if Gronkowski does is

720
00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:46,560
Speaker 1: retired and he says he is, they'll figure They had

721
00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:48,080
Speaker 1: a ton of draft picks, they're gonna be able to

722
00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:50,400
Speaker 1: address a lot of their needs. Who's the biggest challenger

723
00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:53,120
Speaker 1: to them in the AFC East because it seems like

724
00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:55,080
Speaker 1: we come up with a different team every year who's

725
00:34:55,080 --> 00:34:57,560
Speaker 1: supposed to do it and they fail and then it's

726
00:34:57,600 --> 00:34:59,640
Speaker 1: kind of like a rotation. So maybe it's the Jets

727
00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:01,879
Speaker 1: right now. But who do you think? Yeah, the Jets

728
00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:04,799
Speaker 1: are keeping eye on Buffalo. I think Sean McDermott has

729
00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:08,440
Speaker 1: that they play hard, they're they're tough, physical team. He

730
00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:11,360
Speaker 1: needs to supplement that talent. He did so in free agency,

731
00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:13,320
Speaker 1: got a bunch of guys that can help Josh Allen's

732
00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:16,239
Speaker 1: young quarterback. But I think Buffalo plays are but I

733
00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:17,759
Speaker 1: think the Jets are the second team. If I had

734
00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:20,160
Speaker 1: the rank of division, it would be you know, clearly

735
00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:23,120
Speaker 1: New England. Then probably the Jets and Buffalo are pretty close,

736
00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:25,239
Speaker 1: and then way down at the bottom it's Miami. Pete

737
00:35:25,239 --> 00:35:28,480
Speaker 1: Priscoe CBS Sports joining us on Texas Radio. What about Darnald.

738
00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:30,399
Speaker 1: We saw him late in the season. He looked pretty good.

739
00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:32,839
Speaker 1: I had Dan Leberfeld on and he was saying, well,

740
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:34,680
Speaker 1: a lot of secondaries they were playing with a little

741
00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:37,120
Speaker 1: bagged up. He's tapping the brakes a little bit on Darnald,

742
00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:40,040
Speaker 1: not saying he's not the guy, but that you gotta

743
00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:42,719
Speaker 1: give him time. Yeah, I don't. Look, he did some

744
00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:44,960
Speaker 1: really good things. It's hard to evaluate a rookie quarterback

745
00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:46,799
Speaker 1: and everybody, you know, we all sit here and praise

746
00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:49,719
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield. But he stepped into a good situation. He

747
00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:52,120
Speaker 1: played a lot of bad defenses in that little run,

748
00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:54,359
Speaker 1: but b he had players around him and he had

749
00:35:54,360 --> 00:35:56,719
Speaker 1: a pretty good offensive line in front of him. The

750
00:35:56,800 --> 00:35:59,640
Speaker 1: Jets quarterback Sam Darnold had a bad situation. The Buffalo

751
00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:02,520
Speaker 1: quarterback Josh Allen had a bad situation, and Josh Rosen

752
00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:05,920
Speaker 1: had a terrible situation. So it's easier for young quarterback

753
00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:08,040
Speaker 1: to have guys around them. So I think what we

754
00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:10,640
Speaker 1: saw last year from Darnold was kind of a learning

755
00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:12,120
Speaker 1: year for him. He did some good things, did some

756
00:36:12,160 --> 00:36:15,160
Speaker 1: really bad things. But Adam Gase is a good coach

757
00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:17,279
Speaker 1: and he's a good quarterback coach. I think he'll do

758
00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:18,880
Speaker 1: wonders for him. It seems like we went through a

759
00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:22,080
Speaker 1: lot of years where highly drafted quarterbacks did not do

760
00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:24,640
Speaker 1: that well early, if at all, ever, and now we're

761
00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:28,680
Speaker 1: getting Mahomes and Watson and we're getting some guys finding

762
00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:32,080
Speaker 1: success relatively early. Baker Mayfield, you pointed him out. So

763
00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:33,960
Speaker 1: does this make everybody think, Hey, I gotta get a

764
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:36,319
Speaker 1: young guy, I gotta plan right away. Well, you gotta

765
00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:39,799
Speaker 1: be a special guy, you know. I think it's hard

766
00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:42,120
Speaker 1: to get thrown into a bad situation, could break some

767
00:36:42,600 --> 00:36:44,680
Speaker 1: you know psyches. I mean, didn't that happen to David

768
00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:48,000
Speaker 1: Carton and with Houston way back in the day. And

769
00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:50,399
Speaker 1: you know, there was still some theory that David wasn't

770
00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:52,799
Speaker 1: exactly the guy that stayed around the facility until nine

771
00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:56,120
Speaker 1: o'clock at night either. So I think, you know, if

772
00:36:56,120 --> 00:36:58,320
Speaker 1: you're the right guy, I think you play him right away.

773
00:36:58,719 --> 00:37:00,480
Speaker 1: And I'm a big believer in that. On with it.

774
00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:02,239
Speaker 1: Find out, you know, it's not doesn't cost a lot

775
00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:04,399
Speaker 1: of money anymore. Draft a quarterback. You put him in there,

776
00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:06,880
Speaker 1: find out what he is. And if his psyche is

777
00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:09,919
Speaker 1: broken because he played, then you drafted the wrong guy.

778
00:37:10,520 --> 00:37:13,960
Speaker 1: You know, Watson played and he was fine, right, I mean,

779
00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:16,680
Speaker 1: you know, I'm a big believer in play him right away. Now,

780
00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:18,960
Speaker 1: Kansas City situation was a little different because they did

781
00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:21,000
Speaker 1: have Alex Smith and he had you know, he played well,

782
00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:23,719
Speaker 1: and everybody goes back to Aaron Rodgers. Well, they had

783
00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:26,879
Speaker 1: Brett Farve there. I mean, so he could sit. But

784
00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:29,520
Speaker 1: most teams now don't have the luxury of being able

785
00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:31,960
Speaker 1: to sit those guys. Mahalmes, I'm not gonna ask you

786
00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:34,719
Speaker 1: if he's for real. Clearly he's for real, But it's

787
00:37:34,719 --> 00:37:38,359
Speaker 1: gonna be hard to encore after what he did last year.

788
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:43,040
Speaker 1: It will be. But you know what they call great games.

789
00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:45,279
Speaker 1: They're very aggressive with their offense. They have playmakers all

790
00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:47,600
Speaker 1: over the place. Now, the Tyreek Hill situation bears watching.

791
00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:49,400
Speaker 1: If he's not on the field or a different offense.

792
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:52,120
Speaker 1: But I you know, he's not gonna throw fifty touchdowns.

793
00:37:52,160 --> 00:37:54,520
Speaker 1: But at forty five maybe I don't think there's gonna

794
00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:56,239
Speaker 1: be much of a drop off. Does it work with

795
00:37:56,280 --> 00:38:01,239
Speaker 1: Flacco and Denver for a year? You know there it's

796
00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:03,400
Speaker 1: an upgrade. And I talked to some people out there.

797
00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:05,960
Speaker 1: They feel it's an upgrade. But how long is it

798
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:07,840
Speaker 1: an upgrade? Still think they're gonna draft a quarterback. I

799
00:38:07,840 --> 00:38:09,600
Speaker 1: wouldn't be shocked to see them Takedrew Lock at ten

800
00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:11,799
Speaker 1: we were talking about the young quarterbacks. What about Lamar

801
00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:14,600
Speaker 1: Jackson in Baltimore? You know, he's got to improve his passing.

802
00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:17,799
Speaker 1: You know, we all get caught up. I don't, but

803
00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:19,000
Speaker 1: a lot of people do get caught up in the

804
00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:23,200
Speaker 1: runaround quarterback who runs and look, Deshaun Watson runs, but

805
00:38:23,200 --> 00:38:26,080
Speaker 1: he throws. Moves to throw right, You got to move

806
00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:28,520
Speaker 1: to throw in this league. It's about moving the throw.

807
00:38:28,520 --> 00:38:30,640
Speaker 1: You don't get faster as you get older either. That's

808
00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:32,760
Speaker 1: you know that's played out over the course of time,

809
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:34,880
Speaker 1: and it's played out with the quarterback position. Look RG

810
00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:37,480
Speaker 1: three burst onto the scene, got hurt. Was never the same.

811
00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:40,880
Speaker 1: Colin Kaepernick was going to revolutionize the game, and eventually

812
00:38:40,880 --> 00:38:43,120
Speaker 1: they figured it out. And look what happened. I mean

813
00:38:43,320 --> 00:38:45,640
Speaker 1: as a player, he kind of got benched at one point,

814
00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:48,480
Speaker 1: So the game eventually ends up in the pocket. So

815
00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:50,240
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson got to learn how to be a passer.

816
00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:52,440
Speaker 1: Pete Prisco joining us a couple more for you. What

817
00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:56,640
Speaker 1: about the Raiders? Is this working? Is this coin of work?

818
00:38:56,719 --> 00:38:59,799
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown? The way they're handling their business, there's some

819
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:02,719
Speaker 1: consistencies here, it seems from the outside looking at But

820
00:39:02,760 --> 00:39:04,840
Speaker 1: what do you think It'll be interesting to see how

821
00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:07,720
Speaker 1: Gruden handles Antonio Brown. That he's been good with veteran guys,

822
00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:10,799
Speaker 1: so I think, you know, maybe he's got a good

823
00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:13,560
Speaker 1: gauge on it. But look, Antonio Brown's gonna be thirty

824
00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:16,400
Speaker 1: one this summer, and his yards perquetch went from in

825
00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:19,160
Speaker 1: the fifteen to the twelves last year. Is that a

826
00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:21,359
Speaker 1: sign of what's happening? Is he slowing down? Was at

827
00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:24,240
Speaker 1: a you know, a by factor of the by product

828
00:39:24,280 --> 00:39:26,680
Speaker 1: of the offense changing a little bit with the way

829
00:39:26,719 --> 00:39:29,560
Speaker 1: that you know, coordinators changed, So I worry about that,

830
00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:31,160
Speaker 1: And then how do you handle them? I mean, you

831
00:39:31,239 --> 00:39:32,880
Speaker 1: bring a guy like that, they got rid of Amari

832
00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:35,880
Speaker 1: Cooper in large part because they couldn't didn't like the

833
00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:38,200
Speaker 1: way he handled his business. Well, you go get a guy,

834
00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:40,560
Speaker 1: you trade for a guy that quit on his team

835
00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:43,319
Speaker 1: in week seventeen. It doesn't doesn't drive there for me.

836
00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:46,319
Speaker 1: Will it work with ob j and Cleveland? And who

837
00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:50,040
Speaker 1: got the better of that deal? Right now, we're gonna

838
00:39:50,040 --> 00:39:52,360
Speaker 1: sit here and I agree with it probably on the surface,

839
00:39:52,680 --> 00:39:54,920
Speaker 1: and Antonio Brown and the Raiders got the better of

840
00:39:54,960 --> 00:39:57,160
Speaker 1: that deal because they got a player, good player, and

841
00:39:57,440 --> 00:39:59,600
Speaker 1: the Brown's probably got the better of that deal. Two

842
00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:02,000
Speaker 1: years now, we might be looking back on and saying,

843
00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:04,120
Speaker 1: you know what, we were all wrong because sometimes when

844
00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:07,920
Speaker 1: you get draft picks for receivers, particularly, you look at

845
00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:09,160
Speaker 1: it and you go, oh boy, that's the big play

846
00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:11,560
Speaker 1: receivers gonna be a star, But they don't ever play

847
00:40:11,640 --> 00:40:14,280
Speaker 1: to what they were. I mean, Joey Galloway was traded

848
00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:17,759
Speaker 1: for two ones, right, Roy Williams. I mean, we can

849
00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:19,840
Speaker 1: go on and on and they never worked out. So

850
00:40:19,840 --> 00:40:22,200
Speaker 1: so for me, I think there's a risk there. And

851
00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:25,080
Speaker 1: right now, on the surface, the two teams that got

852
00:40:25,080 --> 00:40:27,360
Speaker 1: the receivers got the better players, and it looks like

853
00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:29,600
Speaker 1: they won. But two years from now that might change.

854
00:40:29,640 --> 00:40:32,520
Speaker 1: I'll give you another one peerless price franchise that goes

855
00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:35,240
Speaker 1: to Atlanta doesn't exactly work. He ends up back in Buffalo,

856
00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:38,360
Speaker 1: actually right, I mean there's been boatloads of him. Yeah,

857
00:40:38,400 --> 00:40:40,600
Speaker 1: you know, Gruden got rid of Keishon after they remember

858
00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:42,040
Speaker 1: they got Keyshon. He got in there and he got

859
00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:44,360
Speaker 1: rid of them. So I think you got to be

860
00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:46,920
Speaker 1: careful with receivers in second spots. Pete, thanks a lot

861
00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:49,680
Speaker 1: for joining us. You got it absolutely. I know sometimes

862
00:40:49,719 --> 00:40:52,880
Speaker 1: Pete comes off a little prickly. He's not always the

863
00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:55,600
Speaker 1: friendliest on Twitter for some of you. I like Pete.

864
00:40:55,640 --> 00:40:57,840
Speaker 1: He is honest. But they start talking about the Patriots.

865
00:40:57,920 --> 00:40:59,799
Speaker 1: That's one thing I haven't really had a chance to

866
00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:03,360
Speaker 1: talk about. Rob Gronkowski retiring. How about the Patriots losing

867
00:41:03,480 --> 00:41:11,319
Speaker 1: Tramp Brown, Rob Gronkowski, Trey Flowers. Those are three huge losses, man,

868
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:15,320
Speaker 1: huge losses. Now, I will say this too about Gronk.

869
00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:19,000
Speaker 1: I hope the Texans played the Patriots in the first

870
00:41:19,040 --> 00:41:22,360
Speaker 1: eight games. My gut tells me that once he's away

871
00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:25,680
Speaker 1: from it, he gets, you know, kind of a break,

872
00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:30,840
Speaker 1: he'll want to come back. I could mean, Look, I

873
00:41:30,920 --> 00:41:32,759
Speaker 1: know he took a beating the last couple of years

874
00:41:32,760 --> 00:41:36,239
Speaker 1: and basically throughout his career. I will believe it when

875
00:41:36,280 --> 00:41:40,160
Speaker 1: I see it, and look, as long as number twelve

876
00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:43,400
Speaker 1: still slinging it, they're gonna be fine. I have a

877
00:41:43,440 --> 00:41:47,400
Speaker 1: feeling the Patriots are gonna swing a deal, as they have.

878
00:41:47,640 --> 00:41:49,520
Speaker 1: I remember two thousand and seven they swung a deal

879
00:41:49,560 --> 00:41:52,040
Speaker 1: for Randy Moss for fourth round or prior to the draft,

880
00:41:52,280 --> 00:41:55,040
Speaker 1: and we all went, how did that happen? How did

881
00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:57,960
Speaker 1: you guys let that happen. I gotta feeling that they're

882
00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:00,520
Speaker 1: gonna they're gonna try and do that. They'll try and

883
00:42:00,560 --> 00:42:03,399
Speaker 1: do that. Hopefully they won't. Well, man, that's a lot

884
00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:05,640
Speaker 1: of firepower loss, especially in the run game to the

885
00:42:05,680 --> 00:42:09,239
Speaker 1: left side. But Trent next to Gronk, boy, that's gonna

886
00:42:09,280 --> 00:42:13,839
Speaker 1: impact them at some point at some point. So then again,

887
00:42:13,920 --> 00:42:17,200
Speaker 1: like I said, I'll believe Gronk being gone for good

888
00:42:17,239 --> 00:42:19,560
Speaker 1: when I see it. Isaiah Win will step in nicely

889
00:42:19,560 --> 00:42:22,040
Speaker 1: a left tackle. But they're gonna have to try and

890
00:42:22,080 --> 00:42:23,920
Speaker 1: find a tight end. It surprised me at thirty two

891
00:42:23,960 --> 00:42:25,120
Speaker 1: if they took a look at a tight end at

892
00:42:25,080 --> 00:42:27,960
Speaker 1: the bottom of the first round. So so there you

893
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:30,799
Speaker 1: have it. Big thanks to Pete Prisco, to Brian Gaine,

894
00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:32,880
Speaker 1: to David Fletcher, of course to Mark Vanermy. He'll be

895
00:42:32,880 --> 00:42:35,960
Speaker 1: back tomorrow with John McClain, I believe so. You definitely

896
00:42:35,960 --> 00:42:38,040
Speaker 1: want to tune into that. Appreciate you guys listing. We

897
00:42:38,080 --> 00:42:40,640
Speaker 1: will see you tomorrow. I will be in Houston Pro Day.

898
00:42:41,120 --> 00:42:43,080
Speaker 1: Have a little report maybe on the show tomorrow from

899
00:42:43,120 --> 00:42:45,239
Speaker 1: Houston Pro Day. Appreciate you guys listening. We'll see then

900
00:42:45,360 --> 00:42:46,480
Speaker 1: and as always, go Texans.
