1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:05,039 Speaker 1: He keep at home on the Houston Texans Houston Sports 2 00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:13,800 Speaker 1: Leader Spots Radio six ten. Here's the snap looking timing 3 00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:18,080 Speaker 1: for the pilot that he's got it. Brazzle Tassle, touchdown 4 00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:22,680 Speaker 1: the Houstons and the Texans go in front. There is 5 00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:27,000 Speaker 1: no off season for your Houston Texans game day. He's 6 00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:29,680 Speaker 1: every day. We had a lot of energy and about 7 00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:34,680 Speaker 1: a spark for this organization. Five nights a week. They 8 00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:38,600 Speaker 1: hits keep on coming out. The Texas say they have 9 00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:46,600 Speaker 1: it and they do no. It's Texans, all excess. Good evening, Texans, 10 00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:49,520 Speaker 1: and welcome to the program. Mark Vandermer with you tonight. 11 00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:51,920 Speaker 1: John Harris will be on in a little while here. 12 00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:54,400 Speaker 1: But we kick off Thursday the way we usually kick 13 00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:57,920 Speaker 1: off Thursday with the General John McClean from the Houston 14 00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:01,880 Speaker 1: Chronicle and John eight to have you aboard. How are 15 00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:04,240 Speaker 1: you doing? How are you coping with this sci fi 16 00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:07,920 Speaker 1: existence we've been living in. I'm doing fine, Mark, and 17 00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:11,200 Speaker 1: I hope you and the listeners are as well. We're 18 00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:14,800 Speaker 1: starting our draft series in the Chronicle and on Texas 19 00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:17,520 Speaker 1: Sports Nation, and so we're busy with that. I'm writing 20 00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:21,520 Speaker 1: about wide receivers for Sunday. It's a topic that Texans 21 00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:24,000 Speaker 1: fans are going to want to pay close attention to 22 00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:26,920 Speaker 1: because we all know they need one. It is a really, 23 00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:31,440 Speaker 1: really good draft. Eric will Cost of the GM of 24 00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:35,200 Speaker 1: the Ravens said today that he thinks you can get 25 00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:37,800 Speaker 1: a starting receiver in the fifth round. That'd be good 26 00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:40,120 Speaker 1: for the Texans because they have eight picks beginning with 27 00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:43,360 Speaker 1: the fortieth overall. Yeah, that'd be great for them. John, 28 00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:45,560 Speaker 1: Before we talk about that, it is two weeks from 29 00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:49,080 Speaker 1: the draft, and that's interesting stuff, no doubt. Look, you've 30 00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:51,720 Speaker 1: lift through a lot of stuff as a sports journalist, 31 00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:54,680 Speaker 1: and nine to eleven, I'm sure you remember that very well. 32 00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:58,920 Speaker 1: Some of the other national and international events that might 33 00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:02,280 Speaker 1: have stopped sports coverage or changed it because they were 34 00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:05,520 Speaker 1: so serious. How odd is this to you that we 35 00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:08,880 Speaker 1: continue to talk sports, which we should, I think, because 36 00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:11,400 Speaker 1: it's a nice, healthy distraction. Yet there's so much going 37 00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:14,440 Speaker 1: on around us, and as I say that, there's a 38 00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:16,680 Speaker 1: lot not going on as well with so many people 39 00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:18,880 Speaker 1: at home. It's just a bizarre kind of thing we're 40 00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:20,919 Speaker 1: going through right now, no question, I mean that's putting 41 00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:24,320 Speaker 1: it lightly. How do you see it? Doing what you do, 42 00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:27,919 Speaker 1: It's unprecedented you just do your job the best you can. 43 00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:31,679 Speaker 1: I think the Chronicle and I'm Sports Radio six ten 44 00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:35,320 Speaker 1: Texans Network. You guys, everybody has done a really good 45 00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:40,240 Speaker 1: job of coming up with stories that are not game related. 46 00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:44,359 Speaker 1: Because we don't have games. We've had tremendous ideas. Joseph 47 00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:47,880 Speaker 1: Thwarte in the Chronicle today. Talk to some you have 48 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:52,000 Speaker 1: ah students improvising on how they work out. One woman 49 00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:55,600 Speaker 1: has suitcases full of bricks on a bench press and 50 00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,960 Speaker 1: seeing her brother lifting like that. I think we're gonna 51 00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:02,000 Speaker 1: see you once the end. NFL tells teams they can 52 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:06,520 Speaker 1: start virtual workouts with their players. You might see a 53 00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:12,919 Speaker 1: situation like, say Mike Devil in the offensive line coach. 54 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:16,760 Speaker 1: He could be on a computer and one of his players, 55 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:21,520 Speaker 1: say Mac Sharping, is in his backyard with a computer 56 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:24,600 Speaker 1: pointed toward him, and Devlin could be talking to him 57 00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:27,800 Speaker 1: about his stance. Where your hip is, where your hand is, 58 00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 1: come out of your come out the ball. That's the 59 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:34,880 Speaker 1: way they could be coaching now during this offseason program, 60 00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:37,880 Speaker 1: because there will be nothing on the field, and some 61 00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:40,440 Speaker 1: teams will be ahead of the curve as they always are. 62 00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:44,120 Speaker 1: Some will be behind. And I think it's fascinating. It's 63 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 1: frustrating for them and fascinating, but it's the new normal 64 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:50,760 Speaker 1: and it's something everybody has to deal with. Just like 65 00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:53,320 Speaker 1: the draft. They have to be in a separate location. 66 00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:56,520 Speaker 1: And I use this example. Texans have the same head 67 00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:59,160 Speaker 1: coach and GM, so Bill O'Brien doesn't have to worry 68 00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:01,760 Speaker 1: about it. But say you have Jerry Jones is at 69 00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:05,080 Speaker 1: his house, Stephen Jones can't be at Jerry's house. Stevens 70 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:06,800 Speaker 1: supposed to be at his house. And what if the 71 00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:10,120 Speaker 1: electricity goes out? What if the internet goes out? You 72 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 1: pick up a landline, what if it's out? There's got 73 00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:15,640 Speaker 1: to be a backup plan to a backup plan. And 74 00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:21,039 Speaker 1: you know, you know this is true. I just heard 75 00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:24,680 Speaker 1: you drop out there, John, and I'm wondering if that's 76 00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,560 Speaker 1: me dropping out or you dropping out? Figgi are you there? 77 00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:31,640 Speaker 1: Our producer as General just talked about power going out places, 78 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:35,880 Speaker 1: wondering what the case is. I do not have the 79 00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:40,680 Speaker 1: general anymore. It's interesting he just brought that up because 80 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,039 Speaker 1: what if the power goes out? Well, that's exactly what 81 00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:46,600 Speaker 1: happened to Bridget Falcone, our producer, right before we went 82 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,160 Speaker 1: on the air, and we switched over to Figgi. Now 83 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,040 Speaker 1: I can only hope I'm still on the air here 84 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:53,800 Speaker 1: Figgy as he tries to get John mcclaim back, and 85 00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,400 Speaker 1: I think John Harris might be on already, but I'm 86 00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:59,880 Speaker 1: not sure. So I'll just take it. How about that? 87 00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:02,400 Speaker 1: How about if I just take it from here until 88 00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:04,560 Speaker 1: we have the general back, and John, when you get 89 00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:07,200 Speaker 1: back on the air, just give us the shout out. 90 00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:09,719 Speaker 1: But he's right. I think a lot of people have 91 00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 1: seen that video that the Cowboys released of them doing 92 00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:17,440 Speaker 1: a zoom like interview with a prospect, and it was 93 00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:19,560 Speaker 1: kind of interesting because you saw all the faces there 94 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:21,560 Speaker 1: and Jerry asked a question, and Jerry was there on 95 00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:25,720 Speaker 1: his couch, and everybody's in their own individual locations, and 96 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:28,599 Speaker 1: it's very different from the lockout. John was talking about, Well, 97 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:31,720 Speaker 1: you can coach these guys virtually digitally, however you want 98 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:34,280 Speaker 1: to put it, get done whatever you can get done. Hey, today, 99 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:36,159 Speaker 1: we want you to do these drills with your feet. 100 00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:37,560 Speaker 1: We want you to do this, want you to do 101 00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:39,960 Speaker 1: whatever you can possibly do in your backyard or whatever. 102 00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:43,119 Speaker 1: Because by the way, they're closing parks, so that makes 103 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:47,480 Speaker 1: life even more difficult for workouts. Right, which is another 104 00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:49,560 Speaker 1: subject for another day. I guess this is not the 105 00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:53,000 Speaker 1: kind of show where I'm going to debate the debate 106 00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:56,680 Speaker 1: the merits or lack thereof of closing parks, But that's 107 00:05:56,680 --> 00:06:00,279 Speaker 1: how they see fit to distance us. I would hope 108 00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:02,720 Speaker 1: that if people could go to a park, and if 109 00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:04,839 Speaker 1: people were allowed to go to parks, they could stay 110 00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:07,160 Speaker 1: six feet apart, but I guess that's not going to 111 00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:09,359 Speaker 1: be able to happen, or that's not going to be 112 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:12,640 Speaker 1: happening for us. But anyway, they could coach digitally virtually, 113 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:15,880 Speaker 1: and I think they'd rather have it this way than say, 114 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:19,640 Speaker 1: during the lockout in twenty eleven, where you couldn't do that, 115 00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:24,719 Speaker 1: where you could not have any contact with your current players. 116 00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:29,120 Speaker 1: You could have contact just for a small, tiny, little 117 00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:32,479 Speaker 1: window with the players you drafted. I remember in twenty 118 00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:35,120 Speaker 1: eleven when they drafted J. J. Watt, for instance, I 119 00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:37,960 Speaker 1: think they brought him into the building, gave him the playbook. 120 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:41,279 Speaker 1: That's it, bye bye, and he had to go off 121 00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:45,040 Speaker 1: and not get any more coaching until training camp. And 122 00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:49,760 Speaker 1: it's a legendary story now. Whenever anybody asks me to 123 00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:52,200 Speaker 1: tell them my favorite Watt story, that's my favorite Watt 124 00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:54,880 Speaker 1: story with the Barry kids. It was July when they 125 00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:57,960 Speaker 1: had the tragic accident when their parents died and they 126 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:02,400 Speaker 1: were disabled, and what went into visit them at the hospital. 127 00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:05,080 Speaker 1: He just took it upon himself, brought some gear that 128 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:08,320 Speaker 1: he bought at Academy Sports and Outdoors and they became 129 00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:10,960 Speaker 1: lifelong friends. And I think that's a great JJ story. 130 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,720 Speaker 1: He just took it upon himself. The organization was not 131 00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:17,360 Speaker 1: allowed to have any contact with him. So at least 132 00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:19,920 Speaker 1: now we can all have contact. We can all have 133 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,880 Speaker 1: digital contact, we can all have zoom meetings, we can 134 00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:25,880 Speaker 1: all do that kind of stuff. It's not the same, 135 00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:28,600 Speaker 1: of course, but at least you can do it. And 136 00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:32,240 Speaker 1: if you heard Jamie Roots on last night, the president 137 00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:34,520 Speaker 1: of the Texans, was it last night or the night before, 138 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:36,880 Speaker 1: and it's all blending together. I'm sure it is for 139 00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:39,240 Speaker 1: you too. But Jamie brought up some really good points 140 00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:40,480 Speaker 1: and I think a lot of you are going through 141 00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:45,440 Speaker 1: it right now where it's really tough obviously to be 142 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:50,400 Speaker 1: in your home and not have direct face to face contact. 143 00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:52,200 Speaker 1: You can have face to face on the computer screen, 144 00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:55,600 Speaker 1: I get it, but just in person contact with people 145 00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:58,360 Speaker 1: you work with on a daily basis when you're trying 146 00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:00,960 Speaker 1: to get stuff done. However, or he put it this way, 147 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:04,360 Speaker 1: in some ways, we're all closer than ever because you're 148 00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:07,680 Speaker 1: probably making contact with people you haven't done that with 149 00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:11,720 Speaker 1: for a long time. You're probably reaching out to people. 150 00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:14,520 Speaker 1: I reached out to my sister, who for some reason 151 00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:16,520 Speaker 1: I haven't talked to in six months. That's a personal thing, 152 00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:18,440 Speaker 1: but I reached out to her. It wasn't because we 153 00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:20,160 Speaker 1: don't get along. Was just so busy, and you know, 154 00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:22,920 Speaker 1: when football season hits, it's like I'm taking off on 155 00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:24,920 Speaker 1: a spaceship and I'll see you later. You know, I'll 156 00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:28,520 Speaker 1: see in January February and I'm a month in past 157 00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:30,640 Speaker 1: or so, and I finally reached out to her. So 158 00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:32,800 Speaker 1: and old friends who I haven't talked to, you maybe 159 00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:34,840 Speaker 1: in years i'ven't reached it out to when I have 160 00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:36,760 Speaker 1: the chance. So I think a lot of us are 161 00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:39,360 Speaker 1: doing that kind of thing. Figgy, do we have general back? 162 00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:41,280 Speaker 1: Do we have anybody back? Am I on the air? 163 00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:44,959 Speaker 1: Is anybody listening? Thank you? All right, We'll keep going here. 164 00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:49,280 Speaker 1: I'm working on that. Okay, he's working on that, and 165 00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:51,199 Speaker 1: I'll just keep going here. So the draft is two 166 00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:53,400 Speaker 1: weeks from tonight. Now, a lot of you have seen 167 00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:56,439 Speaker 1: the stories, read the stories about how the league is 168 00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:59,360 Speaker 1: going to conduct this draft. We don't quite know exactly 169 00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:01,120 Speaker 1: how Roger was going to handle it, but he'll be 170 00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:03,679 Speaker 1: announcing the picks from wherever he is. Could be at 171 00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:06,280 Speaker 1: his desk at home, or I think that would actually 172 00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:09,280 Speaker 1: be a better look. It's almost weird now where you 173 00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:11,000 Speaker 1: see a show and I don't know how many of 174 00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,559 Speaker 1: you are watching, and say Sports Center with Scott Van 175 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:17,560 Speaker 1: Pelt late night Sports Center, it's odd that he's still 176 00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:20,200 Speaker 1: in the studio. It almost looks odd right now. Hey, 177 00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:22,000 Speaker 1: wait a minute, what are you doing in the studio? Now? 178 00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:25,440 Speaker 1: He's always alone in studio doing that show. Of course, 179 00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:30,800 Speaker 1: there's a whole crew backstage in the control room working things, 180 00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:34,280 Speaker 1: but I would imagine they are properly socially distancing and everything. 181 00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:36,320 Speaker 1: But you know, that's a pretty big operation they have 182 00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:38,880 Speaker 1: there in Bristol, Connecticut. I guess he can stay sort 183 00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:41,680 Speaker 1: of protected, if you will, for lack of a better 184 00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:43,200 Speaker 1: way of putting it, doing the show. But it looks 185 00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:46,440 Speaker 1: weird anyway, Goodell, it would be a weird look if 186 00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:48,640 Speaker 1: he was at a podium somewhere in some studio. Why 187 00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:51,480 Speaker 1: not just put him at his desk at home or whatever, 188 00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:53,440 Speaker 1: and let's just set it up that way. I wonder 189 00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:55,880 Speaker 1: if he's gonna wear a tie or not, well Goodell 190 00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:58,160 Speaker 1: not that should be a Vegas bet right now, or 191 00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:01,280 Speaker 1: online Vegas bet, or however you would it. Will Goodell 192 00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:06,840 Speaker 1: wear a tie for Draft night if he's at home? Interesting? 193 00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:09,480 Speaker 1: You know a lot of people are. They're still putting 194 00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:12,440 Speaker 1: out a tie, but they're just not wearing pants. You know, 195 00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:16,160 Speaker 1: they're wearing shorts. They're dressing like the businessmen do in Bermuda. 196 00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:18,920 Speaker 1: You know that's where the Bermuda shorts came from, right, 197 00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:21,120 Speaker 1: I mean, they wear shorts and they wear a tie 198 00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:23,360 Speaker 1: and a jacket. It's just kind of a strange look 199 00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:26,640 Speaker 1: for us here. In any case, he's gonna do it 200 00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:31,760 Speaker 1: from there. The coaches, GMS, player personnel directors, they will 201 00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:35,000 Speaker 1: all be in their separate locations, but all connected digitally. 202 00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:39,200 Speaker 1: Now Sports Radio six ten, as you all know, we 203 00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:42,520 Speaker 1: cover the draft Okay Texans Radio. On Sports Radio six ten. 204 00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:45,200 Speaker 1: John Harris is on for every single hour of the draft. 205 00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:47,280 Speaker 1: I'm on from most of them. I take about a 206 00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:50,080 Speaker 1: three hour break for the first, I don't know, first 207 00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:52,760 Speaker 1: three hours on Saturday for the rounds three and four, 208 00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:55,640 Speaker 1: and I get pretty much through five, and then I 209 00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:57,360 Speaker 1: do the rest of it, and we have interviews with 210 00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:00,000 Speaker 1: the coach and everything like that. But Johnny does all 211 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,440 Speaker 1: all of it. And we're all gonna be in our homes. 212 00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:04,280 Speaker 1: We're all gonna be in our homes, and we're gonna 213 00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:06,120 Speaker 1: beat tomorrow and talk about how we can get this 214 00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:10,280 Speaker 1: done really well, and not only put it out on radio, 215 00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:13,040 Speaker 1: but put it out on digital media. And the Texans 216 00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:14,520 Speaker 1: are going to have some sort of and we haven't 217 00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:17,480 Speaker 1: really finalized how it's gonna go down yet, but a 218 00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:23,640 Speaker 1: virtual digital draft party of sorts. It's easier said than done. 219 00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:27,240 Speaker 1: There's a lot of technology involved. Look, you can't bring 220 00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:29,679 Speaker 1: people together in a room, but you can bring faces 221 00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:33,200 Speaker 1: on screens. And we all know the draft party shot, right. 222 00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:38,160 Speaker 1: The reaction that we get when a player is picked. Now, 223 00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:40,800 Speaker 1: I know what you're thinking, Well, there's no first round pick, Mark, 224 00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:42,400 Speaker 1: how are you gonna have any kind of reaction? Well, 225 00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:48,640 Speaker 1: we did it, Remember, we did it after the Watson acquisition. 226 00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:53,280 Speaker 1: No first round pick twenty eighteen, no second round pick, 227 00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:55,959 Speaker 1: and three picks in the third round. We had a 228 00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:57,640 Speaker 1: draft party on Friday night and it was a lot 229 00:11:57,640 --> 00:11:59,679 Speaker 1: of fun. Johnny Harris joins us, Now, is we've lost 230 00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:03,839 Speaker 1: a general? Uh not forever, I'm thinking, but probably a 231 00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:06,160 Speaker 1: power out? It is Johnny, you live on that side 232 00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:10,120 Speaker 1: of town? I think, yeah, yeah, kind of. I mean 233 00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:14,400 Speaker 1: we're probably a few We're probably fifteen twenty minutes away 234 00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:17,719 Speaker 1: from the general. But yeah, I was just out about Oh, 235 00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:19,840 Speaker 1: I don't know, but twenty minutes ago or a little 236 00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:21,520 Speaker 1: bit longer than that, and I could see it coming 237 00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:26,839 Speaker 1: from the probably from the west. Coming from the west. 238 00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:30,920 Speaker 1: It's gonna be bringing the funk very very soon. So 239 00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:33,080 Speaker 1: I'm not too surprised that he dropped off. So I 240 00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:34,920 Speaker 1: was actually a little worried about that. If we lost 241 00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:37,920 Speaker 1: we've lost power. But what the unit, I don't know. 242 00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:40,240 Speaker 1: Maybe we shouldn't lose power, but my internet will go out. 243 00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:42,440 Speaker 1: But either way, UM, yeah, you know I heard you 244 00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:45,319 Speaker 1: as I picked up the headphones. I heard you talking about, 245 00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:50,280 Speaker 1: uh this the draft that's coming up two weeks from tonight. 246 00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:53,520 Speaker 1: You know me? You know how Jack that I get two? 247 00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:57,000 Speaker 1: I mean the night of I'm on a different like, 248 00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:59,800 Speaker 1: I'm a different level, like my It's funny. My wife 249 00:12:59,880 --> 00:13:01,280 Speaker 1: is in the kitchen, she's looking at me. She's like, 250 00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:03,320 Speaker 1: you're just an idiot on draft night, which is very, 251 00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:06,679 Speaker 1: very true. I am through that entire weekend because it's 252 00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:08,800 Speaker 1: just the culmination. It's like for a lot of scouts, 253 00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:11,520 Speaker 1: you know, when they get that last undrafted free agent 254 00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:15,160 Speaker 1: signed and they're just like, oh man, that was a 255 00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:18,920 Speaker 1: whole year of work to bring in how many ever players, 256 00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:21,679 Speaker 1: and then a month later it starts all up again. 257 00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:24,720 Speaker 1: At least I would think it does. I don't know 258 00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:26,560 Speaker 1: how the timeline will change with everything going on with 259 00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:28,920 Speaker 1: the RONA and all that kind of stuff, but that's 260 00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:31,360 Speaker 1: usually what happens is they get that done, they come 261 00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:34,640 Speaker 1: in for rookie mini camps, scouts hang around for OTAs 262 00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:37,200 Speaker 1: and mini camps, and then they go off for about 263 00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:38,920 Speaker 1: a month or so much to six weeks, and then 264 00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:43,080 Speaker 1: they're back at it. So it's a year long process, 265 00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:44,839 Speaker 1: and it's kind of like that for me, Like when 266 00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:47,120 Speaker 1: it's done, it's like, oh, okay, take a deep breath 267 00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:48,719 Speaker 1: for a few days, and then it's on to the 268 00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:52,760 Speaker 1: Class of twenty twenty one. Absolutely, I mean, look, I 269 00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:55,880 Speaker 1: cannot wait for this thing. Johnny This is gonna get 270 00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:58,920 Speaker 1: a playoff game rating. Oh yeah, I believe, of course. Will. 271 00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:01,080 Speaker 1: I mean I joke about Super Bowl rating. It's not 272 00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:02,959 Speaker 1: gonna get a super Bowl rating, but it's going to 273 00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:06,040 Speaker 1: get a playoff game rating. This is the first real 274 00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:09,240 Speaker 1: sports stuff that people will see. I'm assuming nothing else 275 00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:11,240 Speaker 1: happens in the next two weeks. By the way, I 276 00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:13,920 Speaker 1: heard a hot NBA rumor that you're gonna want to 277 00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:15,840 Speaker 1: hear about later on in the show, about how they're 278 00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:20,000 Speaker 1: planning on doing business. I mean, this is look, everybody's 279 00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:22,160 Speaker 1: trying to make do right. Everybody's trying to do the 280 00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:23,960 Speaker 1: best they possibly can, and I want to see what 281 00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:26,200 Speaker 1: you think of this idea. Plus, we're gonna play more 282 00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:30,560 Speaker 1: likely to happen AFC South stuff always comes up and 283 00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:35,120 Speaker 1: more likely to happen, including in this edition some stuff 284 00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:38,960 Speaker 1: about running the Rock. Also, since we're talking about you know, 285 00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:41,120 Speaker 1: I mean, this is the big subject, right, it's just 286 00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:44,200 Speaker 1: sports and what's happening with sports, And obviously the NFL 287 00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:49,200 Speaker 1: offseason continues, but sports on TV possibly without fans your 288 00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:52,440 Speaker 1: thoughts and well, hold up, Mark, Mark, We've got some 289 00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:54,560 Speaker 1: breaking news in fact that I understand why the General 290 00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:58,120 Speaker 1: had to drop off. Why's that You might want to 291 00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:01,080 Speaker 1: check his Twitter feed because the tech twitter feed, because 292 00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:04,080 Speaker 1: the text Twitter feed, and since have acquired themselves a 293 00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:07,840 Speaker 1: new wide receiver. Oh my gosh, this is so exciting 294 00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:10,360 Speaker 1: while I'm on the air, while you're on the air, 295 00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:14,520 Speaker 1: and do you want me to break the surprise. This 296 00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:18,000 Speaker 1: is from the General at six h seven, so about 297 00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:21,080 Speaker 1: eight minutes ago. So when he dropped off. The Houston 298 00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:26,560 Speaker 1: Texans have acquired wide receiver Branding Cooks and a twenty 299 00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:31,080 Speaker 1: twenty two fourth round pick from the Rams for the 300 00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:34,200 Speaker 1: fifty seventh pick in this month's draft, So the Texans 301 00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:37,440 Speaker 1: still have number forty, but they've gone out and gotten 302 00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:43,560 Speaker 1: the veteran wide receiver Branding Cooks to add to the arsenal. 303 00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:46,120 Speaker 1: This is something that Ron and Clint have been talking about. 304 00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:49,960 Speaker 1: In fact, they asked me about Brandon Cooks becoming a Texan. 305 00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:52,480 Speaker 1: But that's probably why the General dropped off. He had 306 00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:54,960 Speaker 1: to go tweet and he just dropped off. Didn't have 307 00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:57,400 Speaker 1: time to tell you, but he is the one with 308 00:15:57,440 --> 00:15:59,800 Speaker 1: the tweet. I'm making sure this is mcclinon NFL and 309 00:15:59,880 --> 00:16:02,920 Speaker 1: the This is not like some Wheeler account today with 310 00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:05,760 Speaker 1: Kaepernick and the Jets general is yeah with us, Johnny, 311 00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:08,400 Speaker 1: and he comes back and John tell us what you 312 00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:12,480 Speaker 1: know about this particular story. Sorry about that. I didn't 313 00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:14,520 Speaker 1: have time because he got a tweet or read it 314 00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:16,720 Speaker 1: and I had to get it on grind on Texas 315 00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:21,280 Speaker 1: Sports Nation. Brandon Cooks, who's only twenty six years old. 316 00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:25,480 Speaker 1: He's been around since two fourteen. He's coming along with 317 00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:28,400 Speaker 1: a fourth round pick in two thousand and twenty two 318 00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:34,160 Speaker 1: for the fifty seventh pick overall, the Texans second round pick. Now, 319 00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:36,160 Speaker 1: this means they're not going to be using a fortieth 320 00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:39,840 Speaker 1: overall pick from Arizona to draft a wide receiver because 321 00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:43,320 Speaker 1: they have Cooks for outside. Texans fans know him very 322 00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:46,080 Speaker 1: well from that touchdown he caught where Brady and beat 323 00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:50,000 Speaker 1: them in the first game in twenty seventeen. So you'll 324 00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:53,440 Speaker 1: have Cooks, you'll have Cob, you'll have Fuller, you'll have steals. 325 00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:58,440 Speaker 1: Last season, Cooks said the worst, Well, he had forty 326 00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:01,800 Speaker 1: two catches for five d three yards and two touchdowns. 327 00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:04,680 Speaker 1: Before that, he'd had four in a row with at 328 00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:09,240 Speaker 1: least a thousand yards, and so his specialty is speed. 329 00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:12,680 Speaker 1: So he'll be an outside guy. Can you imagine if 330 00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,639 Speaker 1: Cooks has been healthy, he was two games he missed 331 00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:19,080 Speaker 1: last year. He didn't miss another game since his rookie 332 00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:23,040 Speaker 1: year in two fourteen. Can you imagine when Cooks lines 333 00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:26,560 Speaker 1: up wide opposite Fuller with a kind of speed those 334 00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:30,240 Speaker 1: guys have. Now the thing you wonder about Brandon Cooks, 335 00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:32,439 Speaker 1: he had three years with the Saints, traded to the 336 00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:35,840 Speaker 1: Patriots for first round pick. Had a great year with 337 00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:40,200 Speaker 1: the Patriots, sixty five catches, thousand yards, seven touchdowns. Then 338 00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:42,840 Speaker 1: he was traded to the Rams. Now the Rams are 339 00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:47,000 Speaker 1: unloading veteran players because when they signed when they signed 340 00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:51,080 Speaker 1: Charared Golf last year, they had a lot of contracts. 341 00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:54,120 Speaker 1: They've got to sign Jalen Ramsey to an extension, so 342 00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:58,040 Speaker 1: they've jettison a lot of veterans and so Cooks at 343 00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:03,000 Speaker 1: twenty six, is coming here to give them speed opposite 344 00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:06,560 Speaker 1: of Will Fuller. They've now got four white outs they 345 00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:08,840 Speaker 1: still have. You know, it's going to be hard to 346 00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:12,280 Speaker 1: replace DeAndre Hopkins, but this is a step in the 347 00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:16,399 Speaker 1: right direction. Do we know why Cooks had so few 348 00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:20,760 Speaker 1: catches last year with being healthy? You played at fourteen games. 349 00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:23,640 Speaker 1: Like you said, I have not checked with anybody because 350 00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:27,000 Speaker 1: I just found out about this, and so as soon 351 00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:28,800 Speaker 1: as I'm off with you guys, I'm going to be 352 00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:32,360 Speaker 1: making some calls to try to find out why that happened. 353 00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:36,680 Speaker 1: But I think it's very interesting still that he's only 354 00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:39,119 Speaker 1: twenty six years old. That just blows me away. Remember 355 00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:43,040 Speaker 1: when he came out of Oregon State that he was 356 00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:47,240 Speaker 1: a twenty year old receiver when he came out. So anyway, 357 00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:49,960 Speaker 1: Brandon Cooks is the newest Texans for the fifty seventh 358 00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:53,040 Speaker 1: overall pick. And I'm guessing, now, what are they going 359 00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:54,879 Speaker 1: to do with the fortieth pick. Will it be a 360 00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:58,879 Speaker 1: pass rushing defensive lineman and interior linement. Will it be 361 00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:03,040 Speaker 1: a corner of safe? It gives them a lot of options. 362 00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:06,200 Speaker 1: Very cool, john Thank you very much for that story. 363 00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:08,399 Speaker 1: And Johnny and I'll continue to talk about it.

Okay, Mark vandermar, John Harris with you as 445 00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:17,280 Speaker 1: John McLean broke some news tonight. Of course, nothing will 446 00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:20,800 Speaker 1: be official from the Texans. I mean to trade my gosh, physicals, 447 00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:26,679 Speaker 1: DNA samples. Who knows. But John McClain tweeting out and 448 00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:28,560 Speaker 1: that's why he dropped off the show with the early going. 449 00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:30,199 Speaker 1: He thought his power went out. Look, I was concerned 450 00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:32,520 Speaker 1: for his safety. Okay, but he had a big story. 451 00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:37,760 Speaker 1: He had a big story. Texans fifty seventh pick, and 452 00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:42,119 Speaker 1: they get Brandon Cooks. And so it's Brandon Cooks and 453 00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:44,920 Speaker 1: a twenty twenty two fourth round pick from the Rams. 454 00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:48,880 Speaker 1: So the fifty seventh pick in this month's draft, so 455 00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:53,719 Speaker 1: they get Brandon Cooks. Who you look at, Johnny, You 456 00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:56,600 Speaker 1: look at the production last year or lack thereof, if 457 00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:58,240 Speaker 1: you want to say, because he didn't have the thousand 458 00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:01,080 Speaker 1: yards that we'd grown accustomed to see from Cooks. He 459 00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:06,040 Speaker 1: did play in fourteen games. Some concussion issues throughout the season. 460 00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:10,320 Speaker 1: He came on strong again late, no thought of retirement. 461 00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:13,399 Speaker 1: There was a story that well was he thinking about it? 462 00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:15,480 Speaker 1: Was he said, look, anytime you get a concussion, you're 463 00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:18,480 Speaker 1: thinking this is, you know, really tough stuff. But he 464 00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:22,480 Speaker 1: saw a specialist. He saw doctor Michael Collins, the director 465 00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:26,199 Speaker 1: of the UPMC Sports Medicine Concussion program in Pittsburgh. He 466 00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:28,960 Speaker 1: felt really comfortable after that, and he came on strong 467 00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:32,840 Speaker 1: late and he feels really good. So let's see what 468 00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:36,680 Speaker 1: happens with Brandon Cooks as a Houston text and very interesting. Well, 469 00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:38,520 Speaker 1: I think there are a couple a couple of you 470 00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:42,639 Speaker 1: mentioned it, Mark. I mean, obviously concussions were an issue. 471 00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:45,160 Speaker 1: He got one in the Super Bowl against the Eagles. 472 00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:48,440 Speaker 1: Early on. He ran a little a little snagger out, 473 00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:50,760 Speaker 1: caught it, turned around, was kind of dancing a little bit, 474 00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:52,919 Speaker 1: and then just got popped by Malcolm Jenkins and then 475 00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:54,320 Speaker 1: was out for the rest of the game. And I 476 00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:56,119 Speaker 1: think that ended up hurting New England that day, not 477 00:25:56,280 --> 00:26:00,800 Speaker 1: having Cooks in that particular Super Bowl against the Eagles. 478 00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:04,280 Speaker 1: But last year just watching the Rams, nothing was right offensively, 479 00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:08,480 Speaker 1: the offensive line really struggled. Whitworth left tackle probably had 480 00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:11,320 Speaker 1: his worst year. I think out of left tackle. They 481 00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:17,560 Speaker 1: really never were able to satisfactorily replace Roger Saffold at guard, 482 00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:20,680 Speaker 1: and he obviously ended up with the Titans, So thanks 483 00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:24,720 Speaker 1: Rams for that. And then they never really got it 484 00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:28,800 Speaker 1: right offensively. Girley was never right. They never they never 485 00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:31,879 Speaker 1: totally went to Darrell Henderson at running back, and Jared 486 00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:34,680 Speaker 1: Goff was just not really was not good last year. 487 00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:36,480 Speaker 1: I mean, he had he put up some numbers, but 488 00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:39,600 Speaker 1: he just was not the same guy you had seen 489 00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:42,719 Speaker 1: for pretty much all of seventeen and pretty much all 490 00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:45,960 Speaker 1: of eighteen two. He was not. He put up some yardage, 491 00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:48,760 Speaker 1: but it wasn't what you know, he picked up a 492 00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:51,880 Speaker 1: lot of that during garbage time. The Rams offensively were 493 00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:55,119 Speaker 1: just kind of a mess. And ironically the Rams defense 494 00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:57,640 Speaker 1: was really really good and it cost Wade Phillips's job, 495 00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:00,479 Speaker 1: which is kind of weird, but that's a different story altogether. Um, 496 00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:03,120 Speaker 1: but they had to unload. They've got to sign Jalen 497 00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:05,600 Speaker 1: Ramsey coming up soon. Aaron Donald is getting a lot 498 00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:09,840 Speaker 1: of money. They obviously had to hum let go of 499 00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:12,720 Speaker 1: Todd Gurley and they still owed him money. Apparently still 500 00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:16,639 Speaker 1: even as of last night, they owed Todd Gurley money. Um. 501 00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:19,680 Speaker 1: As Todd put on social media. UM, so it wasn't 502 00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:22,439 Speaker 1: too surprising. He cooks, his contract is pretty team friendly. 503 00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:25,400 Speaker 1: So I think this is something that I know Ron 504 00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:26,840 Speaker 1: and Klint had talked about and I heard him talking 505 00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:28,760 Speaker 1: about and then they asked me about it last week, 506 00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:30,399 Speaker 1: I think, and they asked me what I thought about it, 507 00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:32,159 Speaker 1: and I was like, well, you know, as long as 508 00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:35,159 Speaker 1: he's healthy, poise, he can be a game changer. Um, 509 00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:38,520 Speaker 1: he's got straight line he's got straight line speed. But boy, 510 00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:40,200 Speaker 1: he's you know, when he was at the combine, if 511 00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:42,640 Speaker 1: I remember correctly, at the combine back in twenty fourteen, 512 00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:45,440 Speaker 1: he did a three. He did a short shuttle under 513 00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:47,520 Speaker 1: four seconds. It was like three point nine six or 514 00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:52,080 Speaker 1: something like that, which is amazing, absolutely amazing. Uh. And 515 00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:54,600 Speaker 1: I think it's just a matter of now, first of all, 516 00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:56,639 Speaker 1: let's get the physical, let's get there all taken care 517 00:27:56,680 --> 00:28:00,400 Speaker 1: of making sure that that the concussions, and that's gonna 518 00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:01,639 Speaker 1: be one they're really gonna have to look at. And 519 00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:05,240 Speaker 1: like you said, he's gotten cleared, he's gotten sounds like 520 00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:07,960 Speaker 1: some good advice from from guys that have studied concussions, 521 00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:10,880 Speaker 1: from the doctor, the right doctors and medical people. And 522 00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:14,120 Speaker 1: then the one thing I think will work in his 523 00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:16,639 Speaker 1: favor is the fact that he had one year in 524 00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:20,439 Speaker 1: New England. So the verbiage is gonna sound similar. Now, 525 00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:23,280 Speaker 1: obviously there's gonna be some different aspects to it, but 526 00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:25,879 Speaker 1: the verbiage is gonna sound similar. So he's gonna have 527 00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:28,560 Speaker 1: some recall of some of the things, sort of like 528 00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:30,320 Speaker 1: the Marys Thomas did when he got here. He had 529 00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:32,240 Speaker 1: played that one year in Denver when he was a 530 00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:34,879 Speaker 1: rookie under Josh McDaniel, so he had at least a 531 00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:37,840 Speaker 1: little bit of that. Obviously, he had been what eight 532 00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:40,080 Speaker 1: years or so since he had had done so, so 533 00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:43,120 Speaker 1: he had to go, you know, recall from way back. 534 00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:46,440 Speaker 1: But Brandon was just two years ago. And I think 535 00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:49,080 Speaker 1: if he is right, when you put him on the 536 00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:54,480 Speaker 1: field with Stills and Cobb and Will Fuller, well you 537 00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:56,400 Speaker 1: got an opportunity to be as fast as any team 538 00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:59,760 Speaker 1: in the league. So I texted you, just I texted 539 00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:03,240 Speaker 1: you is kind of thinking out loud. And so if 540 00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:07,680 Speaker 1: my math is correct, here the Texans traded Hopkins and 541 00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:13,600 Speaker 1: the fifty seventh pick, and in return they've got Brandy Cooks, 542 00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:18,880 Speaker 1: David Johnson, the fortieth pick in two future fourths? Is 543 00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:22,840 Speaker 1: my math correct on that? Have I missed anything on that? Again? 544 00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:25,880 Speaker 1: For the people listening at home, meaning okay, okay, so 545 00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:29,880 Speaker 1: am I right about this? They traded DeAndre Hopkins and 546 00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:32,800 Speaker 1: the fifty seventh pick, So they made two deals that 547 00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:36,960 Speaker 1: this offseason. Right, They traded DeAndre Hopkins in the fifty 548 00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:39,320 Speaker 1: seventh pick Hopkins in one deal, fifty seventh pick in 549 00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:44,280 Speaker 1: the other to get back Brandy Cooks, David Johnson, the 550 00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:48,200 Speaker 1: fortieth pick in the draft, and two future fourth round picks. 551 00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:52,360 Speaker 1: Is my math correcked on that? Yeah? That is correct, because, yeah, 552 00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:53,920 Speaker 1: they gave up there, but they gave up one of 553 00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:56,239 Speaker 1: their fourths to do it as well, right, right, they 554 00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:58,920 Speaker 1: up their fourth this year? Yeah, yeah, because they swapped. 555 00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:03,080 Speaker 1: But they felt like that was they felt like that 556 00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:05,760 Speaker 1: was They felt okay because they're gonna get a high 557 00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:09,800 Speaker 1: fourth next year. So that's interesting when you put it 558 00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:12,800 Speaker 1: like that. And here's here's another thing that's interesting. He 559 00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:18,000 Speaker 1: overlapped with Kenny Stills in New Orleans, right, Brandon Cooks. 560 00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:21,720 Speaker 1: So they've got good references here. They've got Kenny Still's 561 00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:24,760 Speaker 1: phone number, all right, They've got Tom Brady's phone number, 562 00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:28,240 Speaker 1: how was it? How was it Tom working with Brandon Cooks. 563 00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:30,840 Speaker 1: You know, Bill O'Brien and Brady have a really good relationship, 564 00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:34,480 Speaker 1: so they get a good little reference there. We saw 565 00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:37,440 Speaker 1: him kill the Texans on that final drive in twenty seventeen. 566 00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:40,680 Speaker 1: Don't remind me, but I just did. And the guy's 567 00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:43,600 Speaker 1: got a lot of juice now. He came like I said, 568 00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:47,480 Speaker 1: the concussions were a little bit of an issue, all right, 569 00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:49,880 Speaker 1: because he had two of them within a twenty five 570 00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:52,360 Speaker 1: days span last year. But he came back on strong. 571 00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:55,640 Speaker 1: And they said in that San Francisco game late in 572 00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:58,080 Speaker 1: the season, which they did lose, but they put up 573 00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:00,200 Speaker 1: thirty one points, it was a wild offensive perform. It's 574 00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:04,600 Speaker 1: four catches and a touchdown. And my friend from the 575 00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:07,560 Speaker 1: Rams I messaged him right away and he said, listen 576 00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:11,520 Speaker 1: our line. We could not protect golf cooks, could not 577 00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:15,440 Speaker 1: run those cooks type routes. He said, with Watson, that 578 00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:19,480 Speaker 1: is not a problem. Watson will find cooks deep. Okay. 579 00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:24,120 Speaker 1: So if you have cooks and fuller, both healthy, you know, 580 00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:26,600 Speaker 1: if if if I get it, I get but but 581 00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:29,320 Speaker 1: they you know, with cooks now and look, never mind, 582 00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:31,360 Speaker 1: we always go with what you got now right. What 583 00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:35,360 Speaker 1: you got now is Cooks Fuller Stills, Cob, Now, I 584 00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:40,720 Speaker 1: got four guys who can play, right, and if one 585 00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:42,560 Speaker 1: of them is out, I still have three guys who 586 00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:45,320 Speaker 1: can play. And I'm going to draft some help as well. 587 00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:48,600 Speaker 1: And I know my reserves can fill in the gaps 588 00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:51,520 Speaker 1: from time to time and do a nice job. So 589 00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:55,560 Speaker 1: this is really interesting all of a sudden, Cooks Cob 590 00:31:55,920 --> 00:32:00,600 Speaker 1: Fuller Stills. If you were playing Sunday and everybody's healthy, 591 00:32:01,040 --> 00:32:02,920 Speaker 1: I mean, you might have a luxury problem of like, 592 00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:04,880 Speaker 1: who are we not going to play? You know what 593 00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:07,800 Speaker 1: I'm saying, That would actually be pretty cool. So I 594 00:32:08,120 --> 00:32:10,280 Speaker 1: look a lot. We always said it, and we said 595 00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:12,000 Speaker 1: it when they made the Hopkins deal. I know people 596 00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:13,400 Speaker 1: didn't like it, and I get it. I get it. 597 00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:17,320 Speaker 1: But hang on a second, it's not time to play yet. 598 00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:21,160 Speaker 1: They made this move. Who knows what else is coming, 599 00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:23,680 Speaker 1: you know what I mean? So let's see. And that 600 00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:27,360 Speaker 1: was and that was our whole point that Monday. That 601 00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:30,800 Speaker 1: was as hard as show as we've done since Andre 602 00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:34,280 Speaker 1: Johnson was released back in twenty fifteen. That was hard. 603 00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:36,040 Speaker 1: That was a hard show. Not to mention, you know, 604 00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:39,080 Speaker 1: I'm on the phone with you. You've got equipment in 605 00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:41,440 Speaker 1: your office. We're doing this whole remote thing for the 606 00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:44,240 Speaker 1: first time, and we got to try and digest this 607 00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:47,000 Speaker 1: whole thing going on with DeAndre Hopkins. And at the end, 608 00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:49,440 Speaker 1: I just kind of said, all right, look it happened, 609 00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:53,280 Speaker 1: So what do you do now? And of course it's natural. 610 00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:55,520 Speaker 1: I think, you know for fans, Well, the last time 611 00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:57,960 Speaker 1: I saw you, you had you had DeAndre Hopkins, and 612 00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:00,239 Speaker 1: you know that that's what it looked like. I can 613 00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:02,960 Speaker 1: all this kind of stuff and it's like, hey, just 614 00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:06,720 Speaker 1: you know, and you went over it with with Bill 615 00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:08,960 Speaker 1: and Jack and cal On on the call with the 616 00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:13,560 Speaker 1: season ticket holders. Look, it's not September yet. Relax, you 617 00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:16,480 Speaker 1: just hang around because you never know what's gonna happen. Well, 618 00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:19,080 Speaker 1: they relax because no one. No one's gonna relax. And 619 00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:22,200 Speaker 1: I get, I mean, get the point. I mean Aaron Rodgers, 620 00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:24,360 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers said, relax, and then they went off in 621 00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:27,520 Speaker 1: won seven in a row, including beating us in twenty sixteen. 622 00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:31,080 Speaker 1: We can't stay relaxed. I understand people up in arms 623 00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:34,000 Speaker 1: and sports you react to everything. I mean, in the 624 00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:36,560 Speaker 1: loop has overreaction. Monday, they're still doing it. In the 625 00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:39,960 Speaker 1: off season, of course. But this is this is interesting. 626 00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:41,400 Speaker 1: And you know, you and I did that show that 627 00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:44,720 Speaker 1: Monday night, that was six o'clock. We did that show 628 00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:50,040 Speaker 1: after Hopkins got traded without Cobb having been acquired yet, right, 629 00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:55,360 Speaker 1: so think about that. Yeah, and the most traumatic show 630 00:33:55,480 --> 00:34:00,280 Speaker 1: syndrome from that program that night. But we got through it. Yeah, 631 00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:03,400 Speaker 1: we did. And of course they didn't say they didn't 632 00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:06,840 Speaker 1: say relax. But that's kind of the premise of Look, 633 00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:08,719 Speaker 1: take a breath and look at what day it is. 634 00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:11,560 Speaker 1: It's April. Wait, what day is it April? I don't know, 635 00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:13,919 Speaker 1: it's April something. I know it's two weeks for the drafts. 636 00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:15,640 Speaker 1: I can work back it's the nights. I can work 637 00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:18,920 Speaker 1: backwards from the draft. Yeah, the Texans aren't going to 638 00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:23,959 Speaker 1: play until September, so look, I would imagine that they're 639 00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:27,480 Speaker 1: probably not even done now. I think John may have 640 00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:28,840 Speaker 1: said this, I don't know you or John said this 641 00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:31,760 Speaker 1: now number forty. It gets to be kind of interesting 642 00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:34,880 Speaker 1: because receiver. I do think that a young receiver, especially 643 00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:39,160 Speaker 1: in this draft, whenever you have a class of receivers 644 00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:43,000 Speaker 1: or just any any group that is this deep, I 645 00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:45,239 Speaker 1: do think you have to look at any way that 646 00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:49,160 Speaker 1: you can upgrade, especially in later rounds, because you're gonna 647 00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:51,719 Speaker 1: get first and second round of talents pushed down the way. 648 00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:55,399 Speaker 1: So I do think receiver is going to be on 649 00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:57,319 Speaker 1: the wish list at some point, but it doesn't have 650 00:34:57,360 --> 00:35:01,640 Speaker 1: to be number forty. Now number forty becomes very very 651 00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:05,600 Speaker 1: interesting as too, because I think and I listened to everybody, 652 00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:07,080 Speaker 1: and every time I would hear people say it, I 653 00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:08,640 Speaker 1: think it was other than Landry. Landry and I were 654 00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:11,200 Speaker 1: trading some text back and forth the other night, and 655 00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:13,520 Speaker 1: he's been about one of the few people to say, look, 656 00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:15,120 Speaker 1: I don't think it has to be a receiver. I 657 00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:16,359 Speaker 1: was like, no, no no, it's got to be a receiver. 658 00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:19,440 Speaker 1: It's gotta be. Well, now it pretty much doesn't have 659 00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:21,440 Speaker 1: to be a receiver. So that opens you up to 660 00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:23,959 Speaker 1: doing some different things with number forty. Whether it's looking 661 00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:26,160 Speaker 1: at the corner group, whether you're looking at a cam 662 00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:29,680 Speaker 1: danceller or a Christian Fulton dancer from Mississippi State, Christian 663 00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:32,560 Speaker 1: Fulton from LSU or Jeff Cladeny from TCU, you look 664 00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:35,080 Speaker 1: at corner. You could maybe even look at safety if 665 00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:37,040 Speaker 1: you're not totally convinced that safety is the way to 666 00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:39,359 Speaker 1: go because I think second and third round is where 667 00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:41,960 Speaker 1: you can find really good value at the safety position 668 00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:44,080 Speaker 1: if you wanted to go that way, and I know, well, 669 00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:45,880 Speaker 1: you got Jalen Watkins, you get Eric Murray, Like I 670 00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:49,400 Speaker 1: get that. I understand that you have got to have 671 00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:53,200 Speaker 1: guys that can play that particular position going forward. But 672 00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:55,719 Speaker 1: if you find a young talent at safety, especially in 673 00:35:55,760 --> 00:35:58,040 Speaker 1: this draft, I think there's not a great group of 674 00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:01,160 Speaker 1: safeties after Zavian McKinney from Bama, but there's a good 675 00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:04,200 Speaker 1: crop from second and third round, maybe even Grant Delpits 676 00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:06,400 Speaker 1: there at forty, which I think it would be fantastic. 677 00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:09,759 Speaker 1: And then you've got a bunch of interior rushers that 678 00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:11,400 Speaker 1: I think make a lot of sense. We've talked to 679 00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:16,719 Speaker 1: a Ross blacklock, Jordan Elliott, Justin Mattabeke, Neville Gallimore, even 680 00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:19,279 Speaker 1: a guy like Marlon Davidson from Auburn who's kind of 681 00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:22,600 Speaker 1: an inside outside kind of guy. He would fit perfectly 682 00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:24,520 Speaker 1: on this team and in this locker room and what 683 00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:28,160 Speaker 1: he could give this team. I love. I really like 684 00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:31,440 Speaker 1: this trade because Brandon Cooks I really like and I've 685 00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:33,719 Speaker 1: always been a fan of his m dating back to 686 00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:35,160 Speaker 1: his Day's coming out of Oregon State. I was a 687 00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:37,040 Speaker 1: huge fan of his coming out, so I'm glad he's 688 00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:40,600 Speaker 1: finally with my team. But secondly, what it now allows 689 00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:44,040 Speaker 1: you to do at number forty becomes very very interesting. 690 00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:46,000 Speaker 1: Teams aren't going to be able to hone in on 691 00:36:46,040 --> 00:36:47,839 Speaker 1: you and go, oh, they got to draft the receiver. 692 00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:49,200 Speaker 1: So we're gonna trade up in front of them, get 693 00:36:49,200 --> 00:36:52,319 Speaker 1: the receiver they want. No, now you're truly let's find 694 00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:57,160 Speaker 1: the best available defensive player we can find at any level, 695 00:36:57,239 --> 00:37:01,120 Speaker 1: probably not a probably inside linebacker, but at corner, at safety, corner, 696 00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:07,040 Speaker 1: or upfront. Find the best available defensive player at number 697 00:37:07,080 --> 00:37:09,480 Speaker 1: forty and find a guy that's going to impact this 698 00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:13,279 Speaker 1: team for sixteen games in twenty twenty and beyond. I 699 00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:15,640 Speaker 1: think you brought up a great point though, that people 700 00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:20,640 Speaker 1: cannot pinpoint what you're gonna do. I mean, without this, 701 00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:23,640 Speaker 1: we talked about it. The cults are picking thirty fourth 702 00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:27,000 Speaker 1: overall and they're looking receiver unless they do something prior 703 00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:29,600 Speaker 1: to that. They're looking receiver. They traded away their first 704 00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:33,879 Speaker 1: round pick to San Francisco for DeForest Buckner, great player, okay, good. 705 00:37:33,880 --> 00:37:35,239 Speaker 1: A lot of people thought there was too much of 706 00:37:35,239 --> 00:37:37,080 Speaker 1: a price and they're paying him too much, but you 707 00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:38,840 Speaker 1: know what the bottom line is, he's gonna be on 708 00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:42,120 Speaker 1: that d line wreaking havoc. So no matter what they're paid, 709 00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:45,120 Speaker 1: he's there. It's kind of like people can say whatever 710 00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:47,600 Speaker 1: they want about Tonsil and what you gave up and 711 00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:49,480 Speaker 1: what you're gonna have to pay him. He's a great 712 00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:53,040 Speaker 1: left tackle and he's there and you gotta deal with him, 713 00:37:53,440 --> 00:37:57,120 Speaker 1: and thank goodness, he's a Houston Texan. So now at 714 00:37:57,160 --> 00:38:02,160 Speaker 1: forty they cannot pinpoint you gonna have some options here. 715 00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:05,960 Speaker 1: So they have the fortieth and the ninetieth pick in 716 00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:09,160 Speaker 1: the draft as far as days one and two go, 717 00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:11,600 Speaker 1: and it's really day two because there's no first round 718 00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:15,960 Speaker 1: selection here. So without that fifty seventh, you're thinking they're 719 00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:17,440 Speaker 1: not going to trade up in the second round. But 720 00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:19,279 Speaker 1: we'll see how it goes. Anyway, we're going to play 721 00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:21,200 Speaker 1: more likely to happen. We might save that for tomorrow. 722 00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:24,680 Speaker 1: A lot to talk about with this report that Brandon 723 00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:27,480 Speaker 1: Cooks is coming to the Houston Texans.

Very impressed. Okay, John Harris is with us. 803 00:43:44,600 --> 00:43:47,240 Speaker 1: John McClain was with us early. If you missed it, 804 00:43:47,239 --> 00:43:49,560 Speaker 1: it was Radio Gold, and by gold, I mean not 805 00:43:49,680 --> 00:43:54,200 Speaker 1: so much as McClean just suddenly disappeared. He vaporized from 806 00:43:54,239 --> 00:43:58,240 Speaker 1: the program. I thought maybe a power failure, lightning struck 807 00:43:58,320 --> 00:44:01,880 Speaker 1: his home. Didn't know what happened been and I just 808 00:44:01,920 --> 00:44:03,640 Speaker 1: started to talk. I didn't even know if I was 809 00:44:03,680 --> 00:44:07,400 Speaker 1: on the air because Bridget Falcone, our usual producer, she 810 00:44:07,480 --> 00:44:10,880 Speaker 1: had a power outage. Figgy valiantly took over the program 811 00:44:10,920 --> 00:44:14,440 Speaker 1: from his house. This is radio during the lockdown. Anyway, 812 00:44:14,640 --> 00:44:17,040 Speaker 1: I start talking and eventually John Harris is here, and 813 00:44:17,080 --> 00:44:19,080 Speaker 1: I see that you texted me at six oh five, Johnny, 814 00:44:19,120 --> 00:44:20,399 Speaker 1: But I was on a roll and I couldn't check 815 00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:23,200 Speaker 1: my phone, you know, only I can't chew gum at 816 00:44:23,239 --> 00:44:27,000 Speaker 1: the same time here, So I started talking. You came on. 817 00:44:27,120 --> 00:44:30,560 Speaker 1: Eventually you broke it to me that McClain tweeted that 818 00:44:30,560 --> 00:44:36,160 Speaker 1: the Texans have acquired Brandon Cooks for that fifty seventh 819 00:44:36,239 --> 00:44:39,759 Speaker 1: pick in the second round, which is very cool, and 820 00:44:39,800 --> 00:44:41,840 Speaker 1: they'll get a fourth rounder in twenty what is it 821 00:44:41,880 --> 00:44:46,160 Speaker 1: twenty twenty two? You know, stop piling fourth rounders. Nothing 822 00:44:46,200 --> 00:44:49,759 Speaker 1: wrong with that either, that's good. But cooks who did 823 00:44:49,840 --> 00:44:53,399 Speaker 1: not have the usual production last year. Johnny, if I'm 824 00:44:53,560 --> 00:44:56,120 Speaker 1: right here, he's been traded for a one, A one, 825 00:44:56,560 --> 00:44:59,840 Speaker 1: and a two in his career. Yes, I mean he 826 00:45:00,280 --> 00:45:03,279 Speaker 1: A lot of people like them, some Brandon Cooks, There's 827 00:45:03,280 --> 00:45:06,680 Speaker 1: no doubt about it. There's no doubt about it. It's 828 00:45:06,760 --> 00:45:08,920 Speaker 1: kind of flattering. You know, you'd love to find a 829 00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:11,759 Speaker 1: permanent home. But at the same time, people keep up, 830 00:45:11,920 --> 00:45:15,200 Speaker 1: keep giving you, giving up, people keep giving up high 831 00:45:15,239 --> 00:45:18,080 Speaker 1: picks for you. It's nice, yeah, I mean it's we 832 00:45:18,160 --> 00:45:19,680 Speaker 1: used to see us in the NBA. I think Juwan 833 00:45:19,800 --> 00:45:22,279 Speaker 1: Howard was that way. Juwan Howard was always a guy 834 00:45:22,360 --> 00:45:25,000 Speaker 1: seemingly getting. He was always good, you know, Juwan Howard 835 00:45:25,080 --> 00:45:26,960 Speaker 1: was always a pretty good basketball player, but he always 836 00:45:26,960 --> 00:45:30,920 Speaker 1: seemingly got traded for for something pretty good because the 837 00:45:30,920 --> 00:45:32,799 Speaker 1: team was like, well we'll take Juan and then trade 838 00:45:32,840 --> 00:45:35,200 Speaker 1: a first round pick or whatever. And he always seemed 839 00:45:35,200 --> 00:45:36,920 Speaker 1: like he got. He was in those sort of deals 840 00:45:36,960 --> 00:45:40,320 Speaker 1: and and look at you know, wherever Brandon has gone, 841 00:45:40,360 --> 00:45:44,640 Speaker 1: he has been productive. And you know, the concussions are 842 00:45:44,840 --> 00:45:47,719 Speaker 1: a worry that I don't think there's there's any there's 843 00:45:47,719 --> 00:45:51,680 Speaker 1: any question in that. Um, we know that injuries are 844 00:45:51,680 --> 00:45:56,040 Speaker 1: a worry for will Fuller. But I think you you 845 00:45:56,080 --> 00:45:58,480 Speaker 1: shoot your shot and you see what you got with 846 00:45:58,520 --> 00:46:01,640 Speaker 1: Brandon Cooks as we said earlier, or you essentially just traded, 847 00:46:02,080 --> 00:46:04,480 Speaker 1: just traded. But over the last few weeks, if you 848 00:46:04,520 --> 00:46:07,160 Speaker 1: look at the two trades and totality, you traded Hopkins 849 00:46:07,160 --> 00:46:12,520 Speaker 1: in the fifty seventh for Cooks David Johnson the fortieth pick, 850 00:46:13,239 --> 00:46:15,719 Speaker 1: which we talked about it in the last segment, thinking, man, 851 00:46:15,760 --> 00:46:18,360 Speaker 1: this could be an opportunity to draft the best available 852 00:46:18,400 --> 00:46:21,680 Speaker 1: defensive player with that second round pick now at number forty. 853 00:46:22,560 --> 00:46:24,320 Speaker 1: If they pick a number forty, that feels like that 854 00:46:24,360 --> 00:46:26,960 Speaker 1: should be one of our questions in either or the 855 00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:29,560 Speaker 1: Texans will pick at number forty or they won't pick 856 00:46:29,560 --> 00:46:34,120 Speaker 1: at number forty, and then a few future fourth rounders 857 00:46:34,120 --> 00:46:36,680 Speaker 1: to go along that if you look at both deals 858 00:46:36,800 --> 00:46:40,560 Speaker 1: in totality. So yeah, you know, of course during a 859 00:46:40,600 --> 00:46:42,600 Speaker 1: break you go to social media, and you know how 860 00:46:42,640 --> 00:46:46,640 Speaker 1: social media is with with various things. But I've always 861 00:46:47,360 --> 00:46:51,919 Speaker 1: once you make it, yeah, it don't don't because it's 862 00:46:51,960 --> 00:46:56,160 Speaker 1: you know, as per usual, it's it's not gonna work out. 863 00:46:56,239 --> 00:46:59,040 Speaker 1: Come on, it could cussions, the injuries. I mean, he 864 00:46:59,120 --> 00:47:00,719 Speaker 1: and Fuller and Ray to get out, you know, just 865 00:47:00,800 --> 00:47:03,000 Speaker 1: don't look still played at fourteen games. It's not like 866 00:47:03,040 --> 00:47:06,600 Speaker 1: he played a half season. You know, I I understand, 867 00:47:06,840 --> 00:47:11,080 Speaker 1: I totally, I totally get that. Um And so you 868 00:47:11,120 --> 00:47:13,360 Speaker 1: shoot your shot with a guy that has got dynamic 869 00:47:13,400 --> 00:47:16,680 Speaker 1: abilities that when you add it. And this is the 870 00:47:16,680 --> 00:47:19,840 Speaker 1: thing that I keep coming back to Mark when I 871 00:47:19,920 --> 00:47:24,920 Speaker 1: think of Fuller and Stills and I think of Cooks, 872 00:47:24,960 --> 00:47:29,479 Speaker 1: all healthy predominantly on the outside. Now we've talked about 873 00:47:29,520 --> 00:47:31,640 Speaker 1: Randall and what we think Randall can do, and and 874 00:47:31,760 --> 00:47:33,960 Speaker 1: I think on the inside he's gonna he's gonna be 875 00:47:34,080 --> 00:47:36,839 Speaker 1: the right weapon for this offense. But when I think 876 00:47:36,840 --> 00:47:40,080 Speaker 1: about those three guys, and I think about Tennessee, Indianapolis 877 00:47:40,120 --> 00:47:45,400 Speaker 1: and Jacksonville going okay, um yeah, how do we what 878 00:47:45,440 --> 00:47:49,319 Speaker 1: do we do here? How do we handle this situation? 879 00:47:50,160 --> 00:47:54,399 Speaker 1: Because when when you had DeAndre, yeah, DeAndre could go deep, 880 00:47:54,400 --> 00:47:57,640 Speaker 1: but that wasn't Deandre's Mallywick. He was not he was 881 00:47:57,680 --> 00:48:00,719 Speaker 1: not the deep ball guy, you know, he was the 882 00:48:00,960 --> 00:48:02,680 Speaker 1: he was the possession guy. He was gonna run a 883 00:48:02,719 --> 00:48:04,680 Speaker 1: dig route across the mills, You're gonna deep override, he's 884 00:48:04,680 --> 00:48:07,200 Speaker 1: gonna get open and do those sort of things. Now 885 00:48:07,239 --> 00:48:10,440 Speaker 1: you have three legit jets that can run by you 886 00:48:10,520 --> 00:48:14,200 Speaker 1: at any particular point and if you can keep them. 887 00:48:14,239 --> 00:48:17,200 Speaker 1: And obviously I know that the word if is a 888 00:48:17,280 --> 00:48:20,560 Speaker 1: major one, but it's a major one all throughout the 889 00:48:20,640 --> 00:48:23,560 Speaker 1: NFL for every single team. You know, if Odell Beckham 890 00:48:23,680 --> 00:48:26,040 Speaker 1: Junior goes down in Cleveland, what do you got? You 891 00:48:26,120 --> 00:48:28,920 Speaker 1: got two tight ends in a possession receiver and Jarvis Landry. 892 00:48:29,000 --> 00:48:33,160 Speaker 1: So you know, teams deal with if all the time. 893 00:48:34,280 --> 00:48:38,280 Speaker 1: But if these guys are healthy for fourteen to sixteen games, 894 00:48:38,320 --> 00:48:44,440 Speaker 1: they're gonna be putting maximum pressure on defenses, maximum pressure. 895 00:48:44,760 --> 00:48:46,840 Speaker 1: And Deshaun's now got an offensive line in front of 896 00:48:46,920 --> 00:48:49,880 Speaker 1: him that should be able to with Titus Howard coming back, 897 00:48:50,480 --> 00:48:53,040 Speaker 1: should be able to protect the Shawn such that he 898 00:48:53,080 --> 00:48:55,800 Speaker 1: can step back, throw the football get out of his hands. 899 00:48:55,920 --> 00:48:57,360 Speaker 1: These guys are gonna be able to get to the 900 00:48:57,400 --> 00:48:59,759 Speaker 1: top of their stamps, get to their routes, get where 901 00:48:59,760 --> 00:49:01,840 Speaker 1: they to go, and get there in a hurry. The 902 00:49:01,920 --> 00:49:03,839 Speaker 1: Shawn's not gonna have to sit back there and hold 903 00:49:03,840 --> 00:49:07,080 Speaker 1: the football with these three guys. Again, if they can 904 00:49:07,160 --> 00:49:09,000 Speaker 1: all be healthy on the field. I know by the way, 905 00:49:09,160 --> 00:49:11,120 Speaker 1: you've got Cob on the inside that can do his 906 00:49:11,880 --> 00:49:13,520 Speaker 1: can work his thing in the middle of the field. 907 00:49:13,600 --> 00:49:17,000 Speaker 1: So that's going to be something that I think, again, 908 00:49:17,360 --> 00:49:19,880 Speaker 1: you get everybody healthy, get him on the same page. 909 00:49:19,920 --> 00:49:22,960 Speaker 1: And I go back to Brandy Cooks played in New 910 00:49:22,960 --> 00:49:25,880 Speaker 1: England at twenty seventeen, and we also know Jack Easterby 911 00:49:25,960 --> 00:49:28,239 Speaker 1: was up there in twenty seventeen, so he's got to 912 00:49:28,280 --> 00:49:32,200 Speaker 1: have pretty good knowledge. Would I would imagine of Brandy 913 00:49:32,239 --> 00:49:34,480 Speaker 1: Cooks as well. So I think there are a lot 914 00:49:34,520 --> 00:49:37,600 Speaker 1: of a lot of reasons why this deal seemingly makes sense. 915 00:49:38,120 --> 00:49:39,799 Speaker 1: So some people it won't make sense. None of it 916 00:49:39,800 --> 00:49:42,400 Speaker 1: will None of it will ever make sense because DeAndre 917 00:49:42,480 --> 00:49:44,759 Speaker 1: Hopkins was involved in the deal and it will never 918 00:49:44,800 --> 00:49:46,920 Speaker 1: make sense to any of them. So so be it. 919 00:49:47,360 --> 00:49:50,360 Speaker 1: Make the deal. See what you got, fire away in 920 00:49:50,400 --> 00:49:52,560 Speaker 1: September and see how much pressure you can put on 921 00:49:52,600 --> 00:49:55,240 Speaker 1: defense is going forward in the Shawn's fourth years starting quarterback. 922 00:49:55,640 --> 00:49:58,680 Speaker 1: Look with the fifty seventh pick, and I know the 923 00:49:58,760 --> 00:50:01,320 Speaker 1: Ravens GM said today you a starter in the fifth 924 00:50:01,360 --> 00:50:05,080 Speaker 1: round with how deep this receiver class is. But come on, 925 00:50:05,719 --> 00:50:08,480 Speaker 1: with the fifty seventh pick, you just got yourself a 926 00:50:08,560 --> 00:50:11,640 Speaker 1: guy you know can play. And what it does is 927 00:50:11,640 --> 00:50:14,040 Speaker 1: it buys you this sort of, for lack of a 928 00:50:14,080 --> 00:50:17,680 Speaker 1: better way of putting it, insurance or assurance that between 929 00:50:17,719 --> 00:50:22,240 Speaker 1: the four guys I mentioned, with Cooks, Cobb, Fuller and Stills, 930 00:50:22,360 --> 00:50:25,839 Speaker 1: you're likely look injuries happen, You're likely to have at 931 00:50:25,920 --> 00:50:29,080 Speaker 1: least three of them available. And pick any three of 932 00:50:29,080 --> 00:50:33,560 Speaker 1: those guys. That's pretty good. Cobb has been durable. Even 933 00:50:33,560 --> 00:50:36,080 Speaker 1: though Cooks has had concussion issues, he still played in 934 00:50:36,120 --> 00:50:38,640 Speaker 1: fourteen games. One of them happened in London last year, 935 00:50:38,719 --> 00:50:40,640 Speaker 1: so he had the buy so that bought up some 936 00:50:40,680 --> 00:50:44,839 Speaker 1: extra time to get back eventually. And I just think 937 00:50:44,880 --> 00:50:48,000 Speaker 1: that with his overall durability, look at his career stats 938 00:50:48,440 --> 00:50:52,440 Speaker 1: with Cobb, and you saw what Kenny Stills can do 939 00:50:52,520 --> 00:50:55,040 Speaker 1: for this football team. You know, the X factor still 940 00:50:55,040 --> 00:50:56,520 Speaker 1: continues to be fuller. And that was going to be 941 00:50:56,560 --> 00:50:58,440 Speaker 1: the case whether Hopkins was here or not. You know 942 00:50:58,480 --> 00:51:00,479 Speaker 1: what happens with Will. This is a big year, blah 943 00:51:00,520 --> 00:51:04,000 Speaker 1: blah blah, and you'll probably end up drafting somebody along 944 00:51:04,040 --> 00:51:07,080 Speaker 1: the line, and maybe not that high, but you probably will. 945 00:51:07,280 --> 00:51:09,520 Speaker 1: You've got a lot of interesting options, and you still 946 00:51:09,560 --> 00:51:12,919 Speaker 1: have other guys on the team that are certainly serviceable 947 00:51:13,280 --> 00:51:15,759 Speaker 1: in a pinch. And I wonder what's gonna happen with 948 00:51:15,800 --> 00:51:17,960 Speaker 1: a player like Kiki Qt. I mean, is he not 949 00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:20,560 Speaker 1: going to make the team? Is he gonna suddenly find 950 00:51:20,640 --> 00:51:24,440 Speaker 1: him find the rhythm that we've been looking for, find 951 00:51:24,480 --> 00:51:27,520 Speaker 1: his groove in the year three As a draft choice, 952 00:51:27,680 --> 00:51:30,520 Speaker 1: I'm not really sure what was he twenty eighteen with 953 00:51:30,600 --> 00:51:34,279 Speaker 1: his first was his first year, right, yep, So you know, 954 00:51:34,360 --> 00:51:36,480 Speaker 1: third year player, Let's see if he can if he 955 00:51:36,480 --> 00:51:38,200 Speaker 1: can do something. But I think it does give you 956 00:51:38,239 --> 00:51:40,760 Speaker 1: a lot of interesting options at receiver all of a sudden. 957 00:51:40,840 --> 00:51:44,319 Speaker 1: I mean I was thinking about Cooks when all this 958 00:51:44,640 --> 00:51:46,799 Speaker 1: was going down that first week. I was thinking, gosh, 959 00:51:46,840 --> 00:51:48,680 Speaker 1: if you could get a guy like that, that would 960 00:51:48,719 --> 00:51:51,320 Speaker 1: be really big for us to, you know, to find 961 00:51:51,560 --> 00:51:54,359 Speaker 1: out if you can sort of shore up the whole 962 00:51:54,360 --> 00:51:57,520 Speaker 1: position group with a player of that magnitude. And you 963 00:51:57,640 --> 00:52:00,880 Speaker 1: did so. Forty million minutes to two years is what 964 00:52:00,920 --> 00:52:04,919 Speaker 1: the Rams paid him? Wow? Yeah, I mean from a 965 00:52:04,920 --> 00:52:08,759 Speaker 1: contractual standpoint, I had heard that. I think the base 966 00:52:08,840 --> 00:52:13,799 Speaker 1: salary is is not significant, but I think his cap 967 00:52:13,880 --> 00:52:16,359 Speaker 1: hit is it's a decent, decent number. Even let Brandon 968 00:52:16,360 --> 00:52:18,640 Speaker 1: Cooks has put up some numbers in his league, whether 969 00:52:18,680 --> 00:52:20,400 Speaker 1: it was with Tom Brady in New England, whether it 970 00:52:20,440 --> 00:52:23,520 Speaker 1: was with goff in twenty eighteen. Um, he's put up 971 00:52:23,560 --> 00:52:27,080 Speaker 1: some numbers in this in this league. And now he 972 00:52:27,120 --> 00:52:30,280 Speaker 1: comes to Houston with a quarterback like the Shawn Watson 973 00:52:30,440 --> 00:52:34,600 Speaker 1: and you know, guys like Will Fuller and and Kenny 974 00:52:34,600 --> 00:52:40,279 Speaker 1: Stills around him, and let's let's go, let's let's let's 975 00:52:40,280 --> 00:52:43,520 Speaker 1: strap it up and let's let's rock. Let's see what 976 00:52:43,520 --> 00:52:46,200 Speaker 1: what we have. I mean, Mark, you have seen every 977 00:52:46,280 --> 00:52:50,759 Speaker 1: Texans group of wide receivers. I gotta think that this 978 00:52:50,880 --> 00:52:53,239 Speaker 1: is by far, and it's not even close. This has 979 00:52:53,320 --> 00:52:55,839 Speaker 1: got to be the fastest group of wide receiver it's 980 00:52:55,840 --> 00:52:58,600 Speaker 1: ever been in Houston. That's a good point, got to be. 981 00:52:59,200 --> 00:53:02,400 Speaker 1: I mean, that's a right good point. Well, you know, 982 00:53:02,560 --> 00:53:05,600 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna pooh pooh that. But when they you know, 983 00:53:05,760 --> 00:53:09,400 Speaker 1: how fast was Jacoby Jones. Jacoby can run a little bit. 984 00:53:09,440 --> 00:53:14,319 Speaker 1: He was a fifth Jacoby, Andre Davis and Andre Johnson. Yeah, 985 00:53:14,360 --> 00:53:18,120 Speaker 1: they can run pretty fast group right there. But this 986 00:53:18,239 --> 00:53:21,160 Speaker 1: is like the y'all name team. You know, they did 987 00:53:21,200 --> 00:53:23,399 Speaker 1: have molds on the team in OH six, which kind 988 00:53:23,400 --> 00:53:25,640 Speaker 1: of added to the name flavor. But you know, this 989 00:53:25,719 --> 00:53:27,720 Speaker 1: is a good conversation we can have tomorrow. But anyway, 990 00:53:27,719 --> 00:53:29,560 Speaker 1: that's gonna do it for tonight.
