1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,600 Speaker 1: Hello Texans, and welcome to the program that brings you 2 00:00:02,640 --> 00:00:07,120 Speaker 1: inside NRG Stadium. Mark vandamer John Harris with you. It's 3 00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:11,319 Speaker 1: Texans All Access. It's training camp week. NFL teams are 4 00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:14,160 Speaker 1: in and there's a lot of news going on. And Johnny, 5 00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:17,360 Speaker 1: we've got a lot to get to tonight as practice 6 00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:21,320 Speaker 1: begins in full on Friday. I got a feeling they're 7 00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:23,520 Speaker 1: going out there and doing some stuff, but it's not 8 00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:26,080 Speaker 1: the full stuff that we'll see on Friday morning when 9 00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:28,160 Speaker 1: we're out there live from eight to ten am. Thank you. Well, 10 00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:30,520 Speaker 1: it's talking to our buddy Tyler Suddarth, and I just 11 00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:32,800 Speaker 1: said the one thing that they will be doing, which 12 00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:37,120 Speaker 1: every player to the end of time. We'll tell you 13 00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:40,720 Speaker 1: even if those players are good at it, they will 14 00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:45,159 Speaker 1: tell you conditioning test. Bah, they don't like it. Hate it? 15 00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:50,199 Speaker 1: Sure who would like subolutely hate it. I hated conditioning 16 00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:51,760 Speaker 1: tests and I always did pretty well. I was always 17 00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:53,840 Speaker 1: in good shape. There's never really a worry because I'm 18 00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:55,560 Speaker 1: with school in r Island and I've lived in the 19 00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:59,120 Speaker 1: summers here, so I was always fine and I worked 20 00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:01,560 Speaker 1: my tail off, so I was always good. But it 21 00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:06,399 Speaker 1: just left so much stress. Just didn't want any any 22 00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:09,560 Speaker 1: part of doing a conditioning test. In fact, I still 23 00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:12,600 Speaker 1: cringe when I hear the guys going through the hallway 24 00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:14,200 Speaker 1: or here the coach is talking about it. I still 25 00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:18,880 Speaker 1: have I just had these cringe moments of God, I 26 00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:20,959 Speaker 1: hate it that. So that's what they're doing, their new 27 00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:23,640 Speaker 1: physicals and seeing who's ready to go. And my guess 28 00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:26,760 Speaker 1: is by Friday there will be and hopefully it's not 29 00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:30,399 Speaker 1: a long list, but I would imagine we'll find out 30 00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:33,280 Speaker 1: if anybody is going on the training camp up, which 31 00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:35,840 Speaker 1: is nothing really to panic about. We've seen guys going 32 00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:38,360 Speaker 1: to PUP for three days and then they're fine, right, 33 00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:39,960 Speaker 1: they get out for the first day of PADS and 34 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:41,880 Speaker 1: they're ready to go. But we'll find out all that 35 00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:44,959 Speaker 1: information over the next few days. We'll never find out 36 00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:47,680 Speaker 1: who passed the conditioning test. We just know that they're really, 37 00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:52,000 Speaker 1: really awful. Bill O'Brien used to talk about it. Everybody 38 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,840 Speaker 1: passed the conditioning test or ninety nine percent, whatever the 39 00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:58,000 Speaker 1: number would be. Yeah, but it was usually everybody passing 40 00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,040 Speaker 1: the conditioning test, and PUP is often guys who wouldn't 41 00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:03,240 Speaker 1: even participate in the conditioning teams because you don't want 42 00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:05,920 Speaker 1: to risk injury or whatever the case may be. But 43 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,320 Speaker 1: they're about to start slinging it and a lot of 44 00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:11,160 Speaker 1: teams are out there doing work like the Jaguars will 45 00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:14,040 Speaker 1: get to them. You know, I'm not gonna leave them out. 46 00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:17,560 Speaker 1: The Titans talked today, Jerry Jones talk today. I don't 47 00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:20,160 Speaker 1: want to forget about him, Johnny, Oh yeah, Jerry talked. 48 00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:21,720 Speaker 1: I want to ask you this, and maybe it's not 49 00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:25,080 Speaker 1: as simple an answer as some might think, but what 50 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:29,000 Speaker 1: is the biggest story for the Houston Texans going into 51 00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:33,240 Speaker 1: training camp as they launch practice Friday, Saturday and Saturday's 52 00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:36,000 Speaker 1: get back together, Back together Saturday with the battle Red Heel. 53 00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:38,080 Speaker 1: But it's gonna be awesome. Well, what is the biggest 54 00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:41,320 Speaker 1: story in your mind and in the people's mind really 55 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:45,520 Speaker 1: the collective mindset? National or local? I'm gonna say local. 56 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:48,360 Speaker 1: I'm gonna say local now because national, I get it. 57 00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:51,079 Speaker 1: Where you're going with this, Yeah, David S. Mills. Nationally 58 00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:53,760 Speaker 1: would be David Mills, right. I think locally it's gonna 59 00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:56,120 Speaker 1: be more so the young players. It's gonna be Jalen, 60 00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:58,840 Speaker 1: it's gonna be staying, it's gonna be Kenny Greene. I 61 00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:00,840 Speaker 1: think it's gonna be the young group. You know, Nick 62 00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:03,359 Speaker 1: would actually like that. He would be in favor. Nick 63 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:05,919 Speaker 1: Assario would be in favor of that being the big story. 64 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:09,200 Speaker 1: Now he knows that rookie shouldn't get all the attention 65 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:11,720 Speaker 1: or too much intention, but he would like that it's 66 00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:15,640 Speaker 1: sort of a collective as opposed to one person. But 67 00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:17,880 Speaker 1: I think that all right, So you're gonna say the 68 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:19,840 Speaker 1: young guys are gonna draw a lot of attention. Everybody 69 00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:21,680 Speaker 1: wants to see Petree, They want to see if Stingley 70 00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:24,400 Speaker 1: can be out there early enough. Yes, how he's doing, 71 00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:27,920 Speaker 1: how he's looking early on without pads, because they're not 72 00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:30,160 Speaker 1: going to be in pads right away. And I would 73 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:32,840 Speaker 1: say that other than Mills, I think Mills might be 74 00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:36,840 Speaker 1: it locally too, the biggest story. But it's got to 75 00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:41,080 Speaker 1: be the running game, I think, I think, And maybe 76 00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:43,960 Speaker 1: it's the first couple of days that really you're not 77 00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:45,800 Speaker 1: going to see much of the running game, Yeah, because 78 00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,720 Speaker 1: it won't be in pads now once the pads go on. Now, 79 00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:51,160 Speaker 1: you know me, I mean OTAs, What was I watching 80 00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:53,920 Speaker 1: your otis mini camp? I was not watching the Offensive divisilive, 81 00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:56,720 Speaker 1: So it won't be much change and I like watching 82 00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:58,680 Speaker 1: with and without pads. I just like watching the Big 83 00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:03,880 Speaker 1: fellas fun. I like doing it and I'll watch in 84 00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:06,240 Speaker 1: the first few days until they get into pads at 85 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,160 Speaker 1: that point, but once they put the pads on, you're right, 86 00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:11,360 Speaker 1: it's all about that. Yeah, you want to see how 87 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:13,280 Speaker 1: they look in the running game. But I think it's 88 00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:17,000 Speaker 1: still an overhanging big story even now as we speak, 89 00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:20,039 Speaker 1: because I believe that if that goes well, if that 90 00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:23,640 Speaker 1: improves a lot, Mills is automatically going to improve with that. 91 00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,000 Speaker 1: You know, he played pretty well last year without a 92 00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:29,640 Speaker 1: running game, except for the Charger game. They were committed 93 00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:31,919 Speaker 1: to running the ball against the Jaguars, but still the 94 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:35,480 Speaker 1: yardage total wasn't that high. I believe that it's and 95 00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:38,039 Speaker 1: maybe biggest story isn't the right way to put it. 96 00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:41,919 Speaker 1: It's probably Look, it feels like nothing's more important than 97 00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:43,960 Speaker 1: Mills playing well. But I just don't feel like he 98 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,960 Speaker 1: can make that jump without the running game, making the 99 00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:50,400 Speaker 1: jump from thirty second to at least twentieth or something. 100 00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:52,400 Speaker 1: I can't pick a number right now, but you get 101 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:55,560 Speaker 1: my drift. Well, apparently it's important because Larry Tunsil just 102 00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:59,040 Speaker 1: tweeted the other day, running Game, he tweeted running game. 103 00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:02,520 Speaker 1: So I mean he's telling us what's what's hugely important. 104 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,040 Speaker 1: I think my question is it pertains to the running game. 105 00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:09,719 Speaker 1: And this is the tricky one because I've been people 106 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:11,280 Speaker 1: have asked me, is how will you know if the 107 00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:14,400 Speaker 1: ronning game is improved? And I think it's I think 108 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:15,960 Speaker 1: it's a great question, and I don't know that you 109 00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:19,120 Speaker 1: will even through the preseason games. I don't know that 110 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:22,440 Speaker 1: you'll be able to see that. But there are some 111 00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:25,200 Speaker 1: things you can see in practice, and you can start 112 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:29,480 Speaker 1: to see, oh man, this is something they ran last 113 00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:32,159 Speaker 1: year and it's not it wasn't successful last year, but 114 00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:33,760 Speaker 1: now they're running it this year. And I'm not talking 115 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:35,800 Speaker 1: about just a run play, but any any play, but 116 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:39,159 Speaker 1: run play in particular. They're doing something a little bit different. Boy, 117 00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:41,920 Speaker 1: they look more physical upfront. Some of those things you 118 00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:45,800 Speaker 1: might be able to discern through the first you know, 119 00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:48,000 Speaker 1: the first couple of weeks of practice, but you're not 120 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,320 Speaker 1: gonna get much into preseason games in the way of 121 00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:54,400 Speaker 1: that you're gonna see the offensive line for not a 122 00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:57,680 Speaker 1: ton of snaps together. I wish that we could see 123 00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:03,239 Speaker 1: this group in particular in some joint practices. That would 124 00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:05,160 Speaker 1: be something when we haven't done it for a few years. 125 00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:06,800 Speaker 1: Obviously didn't do it in the COVID year, but we 126 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,960 Speaker 1: did in Green Bay in twenty nineteen and now it 127 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:12,080 Speaker 1: was it fun for us, but I felt like it 128 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:16,040 Speaker 1: was hugely beneficial. I love those joint practices because you 129 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:18,280 Speaker 1: don't have to use those guys. Then in the preseason 130 00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:20,680 Speaker 1: games you can play them, you know, play him a 131 00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:23,320 Speaker 1: series or two, then get them out. You've got enough time. 132 00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:25,120 Speaker 1: I mean that's what the Packers. Dude, they have. But 133 00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:27,320 Speaker 1: thirty five guys that night and they were all in 134 00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:30,440 Speaker 1: shorts and T shirts. I mean Aaron Rodgers, I mean 135 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:32,320 Speaker 1: he dressed up that night with shorts and T shirt 136 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:35,919 Speaker 1: comparatively to how he showed up at camp today in 137 00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:38,479 Speaker 1: the Nicholas Cage. I gotta push a notification on my 138 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:42,560 Speaker 1: phone it said, Aaron Rodgers shows up in full con 139 00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:45,600 Speaker 1: air mode. He did. Have you not seen it? I 140 00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:47,920 Speaker 1: haven't seen the picture yet. It's glory. I was laughing 141 00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:50,560 Speaker 1: just looking at the pushing. It was glorious. And I 142 00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:52,359 Speaker 1: was doing a bunch of other things today. Look, it 143 00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:55,200 Speaker 1: was a little hectic for us leading into this. We 144 00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:56,760 Speaker 1: have a lot of stuff to prepare for. I got 145 00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 1: preseason TV broadcasts I'm helping out with and all this 146 00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:02,160 Speaker 1: other stuff. So I haven't been able to click on everything. 147 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:04,640 Speaker 1: I know, but you should. You should. I will take 148 00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:06,839 Speaker 1: a second. I will, but I enjoyed the moment anyway, 149 00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:10,800 Speaker 1: to the push notification. The push notification is awesome because 150 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:12,760 Speaker 1: when you get them, you're like, oh, what happens? Somebody 151 00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:15,920 Speaker 1: gets traded? What happened? This guy is going to retire, 152 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:17,880 Speaker 1: which there is some news in Seattle about a running 153 00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:21,360 Speaker 1: back retiring. Oh no, he just showed up in you know, 154 00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,320 Speaker 1: in a tank top and jeans like Nicholas Cage. Well 155 00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:26,200 Speaker 1: that's all it was. Before we get to some other 156 00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:28,560 Speaker 1: goings on around the league that do pertain to the 157 00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:31,800 Speaker 1: Texans because their opponents or AFC South or whatever. A 158 00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:36,680 Speaker 1: reminder that the Toro bobble head is available while supplies 159 00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:39,680 Speaker 1: last at your local Exfinity store. Right. I saw this. 160 00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:42,880 Speaker 1: I saw Toro on Instagram giving them away. I was 161 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:46,240 Speaker 1: really upset. I'm going to find Toros. I want one. Yeah, 162 00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:48,840 Speaker 1: I don't have any bubble heads. I feel sort of 163 00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:50,480 Speaker 1: out of the loop. I want a bubblehead. I want 164 00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:52,800 Speaker 1: a Toro bubblehead Toro, make that happen. You just don't 165 00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:54,880 Speaker 1: need to go to us. You could do that. I like, 166 00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:59,160 Speaker 1: because like we wear out remotes. You know, I don't 167 00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:03,880 Speaker 1: lose them. I wear them out and I need new ones. 168 00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:06,640 Speaker 1: Sometimes I used to wear them out, but it really 169 00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:09,600 Speaker 1: wasn't because I wore them out, because they threw them. 170 00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:12,040 Speaker 1: That's a different story altogether. They take a licket and 171 00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:15,000 Speaker 1: keep on ticking, and the Exfinity ones more more of 172 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:17,440 Speaker 1: the cowboy clicker sort of things. Oh yeah, yeah, back 173 00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:20,000 Speaker 1: when I was coach host. I don't lose my temper anymore. 174 00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:23,360 Speaker 1: I got you AFC South quickly here and we'll get 175 00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:25,520 Speaker 1: back to Texans stuff. We're not going around the league 176 00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:29,400 Speaker 1: just yet. Full well, actually whatever, it's training camp week. 177 00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:34,040 Speaker 1: Everybody's open virtually. Why are we so late, by the way, Well, 178 00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:37,400 Speaker 1: we plan a Saturday, so the teams that are playing earlier. 179 00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:39,880 Speaker 1: A lot of teams will open up on Thursday night, 180 00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:42,240 Speaker 1: right Thursday night. In a couple of weeks that will 181 00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:44,760 Speaker 1: open up so they get to practice earlier. We're opening 182 00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:47,840 Speaker 1: on a Saturday, the thirteenth at home against the New 183 00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:50,880 Speaker 1: Orleans Saints. Day a football game. And that's gonna be 184 00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:53,360 Speaker 1: a different deal. So you start practice a little bit later. 185 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,680 Speaker 1: Once the Texans play, though, it's gonna go by very 186 00:08:56,760 --> 00:09:01,200 Speaker 1: fast because you go Saturday, then Friday at LA and 187 00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:04,280 Speaker 1: then Thursday against the forty nine ers and is done, 188 00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:06,880 Speaker 1: and it's done, and you have a full two weeks 189 00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:11,080 Speaker 1: plus before you play the Cults on opening day. Now, 190 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:15,000 Speaker 1: speaking of the Colts, I find it interesting and I 191 00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:17,719 Speaker 1: read a funny article, and I say funny because they 192 00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:22,160 Speaker 1: were doing Colts position battles and it's like, oh, number 193 00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:28,480 Speaker 1: three running back, number five. I mean, the we're gonna 194 00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:30,000 Speaker 1: go back to that. We're gonna go back to that 195 00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:33,240 Speaker 1: where oh, I don't know what kind of soda we 196 00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:37,160 Speaker 1: should serve? Well, obviously Coca cola, but which one? Which 197 00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:41,400 Speaker 1: one should? They have the most ridiculous position battles, although 198 00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:45,360 Speaker 1: there's one very serious one left tackle, which could be 199 00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:49,200 Speaker 1: important for them. And what I find notable is that 200 00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:52,360 Speaker 1: the Cults and Titans have the sort of opposite thing 201 00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:55,520 Speaker 1: going on. Colts have some uncertainty at left tackle and 202 00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:58,720 Speaker 1: right guard. The Titans have uncertainty at right tackle and 203 00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:01,200 Speaker 1: left guard. If you put those two squads together, you 204 00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:03,200 Speaker 1: got a hell of a team here. Johnny, But what 205 00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:06,319 Speaker 1: about the faults left tackle situation. If you have two 206 00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:09,719 Speaker 1: uncertain situations on the old line with thirty seven year 207 00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:12,280 Speaker 1: old Matt Ryan. I know they run the ball so well, 208 00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:15,320 Speaker 1: and those guys love firing off those big guys up front, 209 00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:18,080 Speaker 1: so that should go well enough for them, but you 210 00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:21,480 Speaker 1: never know. That line just got a little dented over 211 00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:25,920 Speaker 1: the offseason. Well, I think that started showing the cracks 212 00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:30,040 Speaker 1: in the armor late in the season and down in Jacksonville. 213 00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:32,200 Speaker 1: Jackson was able to get some heat on Carson Wentzon 214 00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:36,480 Speaker 1: that game, and obviously Carson didn't play all that well, 215 00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:39,080 Speaker 1: but the offensive line started showing the cracks in the 216 00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:41,040 Speaker 1: armor because they've got to not throw the ball. They 217 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:42,600 Speaker 1: got to throw the ball to come from behind against 218 00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:44,400 Speaker 1: the Raiders, and they weren't able to do that and 219 00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:46,360 Speaker 1: lost that game. And then the Jags that were completely 220 00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:47,400 Speaker 1: out of it, so they had to throw it the 221 00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:49,720 Speaker 1: whole entire time, and Wentz was running for his life. 222 00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:54,840 Speaker 1: So I think those look I Ebernas. I love Quinn Nelson. 223 00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:56,559 Speaker 1: He was number one the Harris one hundred coming out 224 00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:59,719 Speaker 1: in twenty eighteen. I think he's the best guard in 225 00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:03,080 Speaker 1: ZAC Martin. Quinn Nelson, take your pick both one Notre Dame. 226 00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:05,720 Speaker 1: I think Ryan Kelly went healthy one of the top 227 00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:08,240 Speaker 1: five centers in the league, if not top three. But 228 00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:11,320 Speaker 1: after that, Radon Smith has done pretty well right tackle. 229 00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:14,880 Speaker 1: But those two positions. Glowinski I don't think ever got 230 00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:18,240 Speaker 1: the credit playing right guard that he deserved. He was 231 00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:20,560 Speaker 1: the right fit. He was like Mike bryce Ll. You 232 00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:22,640 Speaker 1: put him in at right guard and you think, well, 233 00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:24,920 Speaker 1: we'll see what happens. You know, he's kind of the 234 00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:27,679 Speaker 1: of the five guys. He's the guy that's not a 235 00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:30,600 Speaker 1: top first or second round draft pick. But then you 236 00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,560 Speaker 1: look up and you're this guy's got the best craze. 237 00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:36,080 Speaker 1: This guy's playing as well as anybody on an offensive line, 238 00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:38,600 Speaker 1: and it fits. Well. Glowinski's not there. He's with the 239 00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:41,640 Speaker 1: Giants now, and then you've got Costanza. They still they 240 00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:44,400 Speaker 1: went with there at Fisher last year. Never fit, So 241 00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:46,480 Speaker 1: I think that's gonna end up being an issue for them. Now. 242 00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:50,640 Speaker 1: Is it gonna cost Jonathan Taylor five hundred six hundred 243 00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:53,320 Speaker 1: yards in your run game? No, I don't think that, 244 00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:56,280 Speaker 1: but I do think it could hurt, like you said, 245 00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:59,079 Speaker 1: with a thirty seven year old not so mobile quarterback 246 00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:00,800 Speaker 1: with Matt Ryan behind him. I think it becomes a 247 00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:05,120 Speaker 1: bigger issue in Tennessee because Derrick Henry's coming off a 248 00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:08,400 Speaker 1: year in which he was injured. Taylor Luan's play started 249 00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:10,040 Speaker 1: to subside. And by the way, there's a little news 250 00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:13,480 Speaker 1: there too. Taylor Luan not gonna be on social media 251 00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:17,800 Speaker 1: during the season. Oh really Yeah, so he said that 252 00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:20,760 Speaker 1: total total, complete, total focus. But I think Taylor Luan's 253 00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:23,400 Speaker 1: game has dipped a little bit. I think that Ben 254 00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:27,360 Speaker 1: Jones now up in years, Ben's what this is year 255 00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:29,880 Speaker 1: ten for Ben in the league or oh my gosh, 256 00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:33,200 Speaker 1: he's draft in twenty twelve, right, yeah, so it's year eleven, 257 00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:36,120 Speaker 1: year eleven, So long in a tooth, I mean, still 258 00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:38,720 Speaker 1: could play, but long in the tooth. Nate Davis I 259 00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:40,880 Speaker 1: think is a really good right guard, but still he's 260 00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:44,959 Speaker 1: only third year, I believe at this point, so maybe 261 00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:47,800 Speaker 1: fourth year. But still he's a guy that hasn't gotten 262 00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:50,199 Speaker 1: all the way there yet. And David Kozenberry did a 263 00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:51,960 Speaker 1: nice job for them and right tackle, but they felt 264 00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,800 Speaker 1: like they could do better. So there really is an issue. 265 00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:57,719 Speaker 1: Is it Dylan rayduns Isaturday put it right tackle? Do 266 00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:01,120 Speaker 1: they go somewhere else at right tackle? What do they 267 00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:03,720 Speaker 1: do at guard? With Roger Staffeld Staffold was a lot 268 00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:05,240 Speaker 1: better than I thought he was gonna be going to 269 00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:07,360 Speaker 1: the Titans, but then he leaves and goes to Buffalo. 270 00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:12,040 Speaker 1: So you've got two big spots open really for both teams, 271 00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:14,360 Speaker 1: and you've got to be able to exploit it. If 272 00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:17,120 Speaker 1: you're the Texans, you have to you have to from 273 00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:20,920 Speaker 1: an interior perspective, be able to exploit those those positions. 274 00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:22,840 Speaker 1: And if you are, maybe you get them out of 275 00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:26,400 Speaker 1: their run heavy attacks. Hey, they're really they're really hurting us. 276 00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:28,760 Speaker 1: They've taken a lead, they've slowed us down. Now we 277 00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:30,280 Speaker 1: gotta throw the ball a little bit and maybe that 278 00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:32,200 Speaker 1: plays right into your hands. So hopefully that's what's gonna 279 00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:35,000 Speaker 1: end up happening at some point. But I don't think 280 00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:38,600 Speaker 1: there's gonna be a huge drop off just yet. But 281 00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:40,000 Speaker 1: there is gonna be a drop off for both of 282 00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:43,000 Speaker 1: them because of those issues. It feels like yesterday when 283 00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:45,840 Speaker 1: the Titans had Jonas Smith and A. J. Brown and 284 00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:48,040 Speaker 1: it just looked like the future was gonna be so 285 00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:51,080 Speaker 1: bright for them in the past catching department and not 286 00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:53,360 Speaker 1: just guys who can go out and catch passes. It's 287 00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:57,520 Speaker 1: yak and it's yard after not only catch but contact. 288 00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:02,920 Speaker 1: Those guys physical brute forced players, and now they don't 289 00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:05,439 Speaker 1: have either of them. So Treylon Burks getting a lot 290 00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:07,400 Speaker 1: of attention as a rookie because he's gonna get all 291 00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:09,520 Speaker 1: the focus now that they traded AJ Brown. How do 292 00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:12,120 Speaker 1: you think that's gonna go with them in the receiver 293 00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:16,080 Speaker 1: slash pass catching department in general, because you have to 294 00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:19,440 Speaker 1: factor the Titans and there and maybe backs to a 295 00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:21,800 Speaker 1: certain extent. I know they get the ball to Henry 296 00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:25,840 Speaker 1: Outside from time to time. Yeah, I mean, I think 297 00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:29,360 Speaker 1: that team is gonna try. My guess is they're gonna 298 00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:31,600 Speaker 1: try and hammer even more than they have because they've 299 00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:34,800 Speaker 1: got Derreck Henry, They've got his son Haskins. Why not 300 00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:39,360 Speaker 1: just try and blunt trauma your way into wins. Why 301 00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:41,880 Speaker 1: not take the ball to Ryan Tannehill's hands, try and 302 00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:44,840 Speaker 1: keep him from making a ton of mistakes and then 303 00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:50,440 Speaker 1: let Treylon Burke's kind of let his game improve as 304 00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:52,840 Speaker 1: the year goes on, and then maybe, like AJ Brown, 305 00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:54,600 Speaker 1: he starts to get more involved in the second half 306 00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:56,920 Speaker 1: of his rookie year and oh boy, here you go. 307 00:14:57,080 --> 00:15:01,280 Speaker 1: But they wouldn't they added Bobby Tree. He's ak Robert Woods, 308 00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:04,000 Speaker 1: and then that was his nickname. I think it's the 309 00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:07,000 Speaker 1: greatest nickname like that, Bobby Trees should be his rap name. 310 00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:11,160 Speaker 1: He I think is gonna be vital for that offense, 311 00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:14,800 Speaker 1: because with that offense, you think, all right, we don't 312 00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:16,600 Speaker 1: want Henry to kill us. We're gonna use an extra 313 00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:18,680 Speaker 1: guy in a box. We're gonna try and eliminate all 314 00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:21,160 Speaker 1: gaps in run game. And at that point the default is, Okay, 315 00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:23,440 Speaker 1: we're an NFL offense. We're gonna throw the ball. Well, 316 00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:25,720 Speaker 1: they could always go to J. Brown. They could always 317 00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:27,440 Speaker 1: you put the ball in the belly of Derrick Henry. 318 00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:31,080 Speaker 1: Everybody is going to tackle Dereck Henry. AJ Brown is 319 00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:34,280 Speaker 1: gonna be one. He was gonna win those battles. Can 320 00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:36,400 Speaker 1: Robert Woods win those battles coming off an ac L 321 00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:40,000 Speaker 1: tear Ketrey lam Burke's win those battles coming in as 322 00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:43,280 Speaker 1: a rookie? Is Nick Westbrookikini? It gonna end up being 323 00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:45,880 Speaker 1: like the next Adam Thielon where for the last couple 324 00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:47,280 Speaker 1: of years we look up in a game and go, 325 00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:51,720 Speaker 1: dang it, Westbrookikini's killing us. Does he become a guy 326 00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:54,200 Speaker 1: that catches eighty to eighty five passes this year. That's 327 00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:55,880 Speaker 1: what the Titans have to hope to find balance in 328 00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:59,080 Speaker 1: their offense. If one of those three guys doesn't step up, 329 00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:01,680 Speaker 1: they don't have the tight end anymore. They don't have JOHNU. 330 00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:04,120 Speaker 1: Which what did they do in twenty nineteen against us? 331 00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:06,080 Speaker 1: What they do? They didn't get the ball to JOHNU. 332 00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:08,160 Speaker 1: And they were down a little bit and they were like, 333 00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:09,640 Speaker 1: we gotta get the ball to eighty one. What they do? 334 00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:13,440 Speaker 1: Remember what they did? They ran a toss play with him. 335 00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:17,520 Speaker 1: Remember he took off on a toss play like sixty 336 00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:19,400 Speaker 1: one yards and it got him back in the game. 337 00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:21,280 Speaker 1: That's really what kind of got him going. Well, they 338 00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:23,600 Speaker 1: don't they don't have it anymore. They don't have John R. 339 00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:25,200 Speaker 1: Smith to be able to do that. They don't have 340 00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:26,840 Speaker 1: a J. Brown. They could flip a screen out and 341 00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:29,720 Speaker 1: let him just run over somebody. They don't have the 342 00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:32,800 Speaker 1: Derrick Henry on the perimeter as you would from those 343 00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:37,800 Speaker 1: two running pass catchers, if you will. So without that, 344 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:39,880 Speaker 1: one of those three is gonna have to step up 345 00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:43,080 Speaker 1: and be that guy that demands double teams and does 346 00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:45,320 Speaker 1: that kind of thing. If they're not stepping up, you'd 347 00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:47,360 Speaker 1: vote an extra extra guy to the box, an extra 348 00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:49,040 Speaker 1: guy to the run game, make sure your gaps are 349 00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:51,520 Speaker 1: taken care of, and then you're going to get offensive line. 350 00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:52,960 Speaker 1: It's not as good as it's been the last couple 351 00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:55,760 Speaker 1: of years. And then you shut down the Titans. That's 352 00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:57,840 Speaker 1: kind of the hope. Let's shut him down. Split with 353 00:16:57,920 --> 00:16:59,720 Speaker 1: him last year. I had a good chance to beat 354 00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:02,240 Speaker 1: them in the final week of the season. Didn't get 355 00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:04,520 Speaker 1: it done. Back to the Colts in a moment here. 356 00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:08,040 Speaker 1: Jaguars reportedly Trevor Lawrence one hundred percent completion rate today 357 00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:11,119 Speaker 1: in practice. Johnny, I want to know what kind of 358 00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:13,920 Speaker 1: practice they were running. There's no way they were going 359 00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:18,000 Speaker 1: full eleven on eleven and he went one hundred percent completion. 360 00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:20,440 Speaker 1: I'm sorry. If they did, they were throwing screens or whatever. 361 00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:22,879 Speaker 1: There's no way he threw deep balls and medium range. 362 00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:26,320 Speaker 1: This is early on. This is not a real deal 363 00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:29,160 Speaker 1: practice just yet, and obviously it wasn't in pads. Well, 364 00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:32,359 Speaker 1: unless Davis Mills does exactly that, then I'll be touting 365 00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:35,200 Speaker 1: it as the best practice in the history of pro football. 366 00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:39,480 Speaker 1: I can't remember where I saw this, and I got 367 00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:44,560 Speaker 1: to try and find this tweet because I laughed uproariously 368 00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:48,439 Speaker 1: at this particular tweet and it was from somebody I 369 00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:52,399 Speaker 1: follow on Jacksonville and it was a it was a 370 00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:56,520 Speaker 1: retweet of somebody else. Oh here it is. This is 371 00:17:56,600 --> 00:18:00,360 Speaker 1: from Sam at more Life one. It just said tag 372 00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:07,480 Speaker 1: Jags media in preseason form with hope trafficking. Was absolutely 373 00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:10,840 Speaker 1: brilliant when I saw it, because that's that's what they're 374 00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:13,760 Speaker 1: trying to do. They're trying to drum up the hope. 375 00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:16,720 Speaker 1: And I don't blame them. I don't blame them at all. Look, 376 00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:19,240 Speaker 1: this is the time of year you have to be hopeful. 377 00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:22,159 Speaker 1: What does you have to live for if not hope? Right, So, 378 00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:25,040 Speaker 1: in fairness to them, enjoy it. Its camp And remember 379 00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:28,439 Speaker 1: the Jags had the greatest highlight in training camp history 380 00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:30,679 Speaker 1: last year. Do you remember what this was? Was that 381 00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:35,080 Speaker 1: the Trevor It was Trevor Lawrence with crash test dummies 382 00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:38,760 Speaker 1: or whatever those things are. Those those tackling dummies approaching him, 383 00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:41,960 Speaker 1: those robotic were people holding them and like rushing into 384 00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:45,600 Speaker 1: the backfield to create artificial pass rush. He releases the 385 00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:47,959 Speaker 1: football in the corner of the end zone and Tim 386 00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:54,240 Speaker 1: Tebow under a huge TV catch against no defense, and 387 00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:58,600 Speaker 1: the Internet blew up. It was bigger than Kardashian doing whatever. 388 00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:02,560 Speaker 1: So it was fantastic stuff. The greatest highlight in training 389 00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:08,400 Speaker 1: camp history? What was? What was bigger, bigger highlight Tebow 390 00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:12,520 Speaker 1: catching that ball or bigger low light Tebow trying to 391 00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:16,440 Speaker 1: block a Cleveland Brown's defensive lineman and failing badly. Oh 392 00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:23,560 Speaker 1: my gosh. You know what, people Tebow? Tebow's polarizing, no doubt, 393 00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:27,080 Speaker 1: And I like Tebow, Johnny. I actually fault him for 394 00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:29,359 Speaker 1: wanting to play tight end and give a shot to 395 00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:32,080 Speaker 1: borrow football again. Why not? Yeah, exactly. I mean, it 396 00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:34,280 Speaker 1: was a long time ago where he want to He 397 00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:36,879 Speaker 1: actually won a playoff game, boys and girls, and he 398 00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:38,680 Speaker 1: made a nice throw to do it, and he beat 399 00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:40,960 Speaker 1: the Steelers to do it, beat the Steelers in Denver 400 00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:43,600 Speaker 1: to Marrius Thomas. Look, I know. And that year was 401 00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:45,919 Speaker 1: a magical year for Tebow. I was actually rooting for 402 00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:48,119 Speaker 1: him because he's winning all these games and pulling the 403 00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:50,159 Speaker 1: rabbit out of the hat every week and whatever he 404 00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:52,600 Speaker 1: did to get to the postseason in the first place, 405 00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:56,400 Speaker 1: I hated it. I gotta say that beating the Texans 406 00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:58,520 Speaker 1: in twenty ten might be his high water mark throwing 407 00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:00,680 Speaker 1: because he threw for over three hundred yards in that game. 408 00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:05,760 Speaker 1: How about that defense? Tebow shredded you for three baby? 409 00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:09,240 Speaker 1: He was he was going over the sidelines saying, nobody 410 00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:11,399 Speaker 1: runs in here about me. I mean he was calling 411 00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:13,919 Speaker 1: his shot and everything. And oh, by the way, you 412 00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:16,640 Speaker 1: do know where the Jacksonville Jaguars are holding their training camp? 413 00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:21,159 Speaker 1: Oh at your old school, Episco school. How would that 414 00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:23,640 Speaker 1: be for you? Now if they were doing that? When 415 00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:26,800 Speaker 1: does Episcopal star practice? It's got to be fairly so 416 00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:30,680 Speaker 1: it's it's later. It usually well it's usually the beginning 417 00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:34,280 Speaker 1: of August, so I would say. But here's here's the 418 00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:38,760 Speaker 1: thing about about Episcopal. They bought property. I've never been 419 00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:41,320 Speaker 1: to this property. They bought it down the street maybe 420 00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:44,000 Speaker 1: like a quarter mile for practice, and cleared it all 421 00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:47,479 Speaker 1: out and built two NFL sized football fields, and it's gorgeous. 422 00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:51,680 Speaker 1: It's right by their their crew boathouse. So they just 423 00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:54,200 Speaker 1: go over the Heartbridge at Green Bridge and they duck 424 00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:57,480 Speaker 1: in there. So you Episcopal won't even they won't even 425 00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:00,000 Speaker 1: cross over. But they've had plenty of people over there. 426 00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:02,320 Speaker 1: My buddy's been taking pictures and centam So why are 427 00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:05,400 Speaker 1: the Jags training there? When they go they're redoing their 428 00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:08,480 Speaker 1: practice fields. They're redoing all that practice field shots, putting 429 00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:10,680 Speaker 1: a lot of money apparently into the new practice fields. 430 00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:13,640 Speaker 1: And I think they're getting a new indoor facility, I believe. 431 00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:16,320 Speaker 1: And so they were looking. They've practiced before at Episcopal 432 00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:19,119 Speaker 1: and when I was there, way way way back in 433 00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:21,520 Speaker 1: the day. This tell you how old, how longer it was. 434 00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:26,160 Speaker 1: Carneal Lake and mccarneal Lake played safety. He came over 435 00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:28,360 Speaker 1: to work out, Tony BASSELLI came over to work out, 436 00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:29,880 Speaker 1: and they would call me and they were like, hey, 437 00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:31,879 Speaker 1: can you let us in the work out? Absolutely, so 438 00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:33,800 Speaker 1: I met a lot of the Jaguars just from them 439 00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:38,720 Speaker 1: working out on our track. Carneal Lake's son, Quinton Lake, 440 00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:40,800 Speaker 1: is not in the NFL. I can't remember where he 441 00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:43,480 Speaker 1: ended up. He signed a contract. There's no drafted free agent, 442 00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:46,840 Speaker 1: but he's a rookie NFL And like, man, I've gotten old. 443 00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:49,280 Speaker 1: It's a lot of that going around baseball draft. Anyone 444 00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:52,840 Speaker 1: last week, Oh my god, wait till Marvin Harrison Junior 445 00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:56,439 Speaker 1: place from the Colts and I just got through with 446 00:21:56,480 --> 00:22:00,159 Speaker 1: the father. Can you imagine that. Could you imagine that? No, 447 00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:02,919 Speaker 1: I'm gonna make you throw up. What if just go 448 00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:05,400 Speaker 1: with me on this. What if Marvin Harrison Junior becomes 449 00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:07,400 Speaker 1: a first round pick of the Colts in twenty twenty five, 450 00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:11,439 Speaker 1: but they tank because Matt Ryan finally goes out and 451 00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:14,800 Speaker 1: Arch Manning comes after three years of Texas and it's 452 00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:17,960 Speaker 1: Arch Manning to Marvin Harrison Junior. You can't luckiest team 453 00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:21,919 Speaker 1: in the history of professional football are happening? No, forget 454 00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:23,600 Speaker 1: I would be out. I'm not. Come on, a lot 455 00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:25,600 Speaker 1: of historic things in pro football are happening on this 456 00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:29,680 Speaker 1: program tonight. Other things going on, all right, So we 457 00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:32,600 Speaker 1: mentioned the Trevor Lawrence one hundred percent deal today. That 458 00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:38,840 Speaker 1: was cool for him. Yeah, Texans obviously two games against Jacksonville, 459 00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:41,560 Speaker 1: but they opened against the Colts. Johnny, and I know 460 00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:44,800 Speaker 1: that we just mentioned the old line situation there. I'm 461 00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:47,840 Speaker 1: very curious about this team in this division. Well, of 462 00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:50,560 Speaker 1: course we are, we always are. But it feels like 463 00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:52,639 Speaker 1: the Titans can be had based on some of the 464 00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:55,400 Speaker 1: things you just said earlier in this segment. I'm wondering 465 00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:57,359 Speaker 1: if the Cults are really up for the job, though. 466 00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:00,399 Speaker 1: But you have to wonder the Texans and the Jags. 467 00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:04,760 Speaker 1: Can one of these teams rise up and potentially challenge 468 00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:07,080 Speaker 1: And what's it gonna take to happen to the Titans 469 00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:08,840 Speaker 1: and the Colts In order for that to happen. Not 470 00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:11,760 Speaker 1: only the Texans and or Jags playing so much better, 471 00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:13,920 Speaker 1: but they're gonna have to take some hits, some injuries 472 00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:15,800 Speaker 1: or something to bring them down a little bit. Even 473 00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:18,520 Speaker 1: though he did split with Tennessee last year, Yeah, didn't 474 00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:20,320 Speaker 1: face Derrick Henry in either one of those games. And 475 00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:24,080 Speaker 1: if Henry comes back healthy, look, the Tennessee identity has 476 00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:27,119 Speaker 1: been it's gonna be Derrick Henry. But could there be 477 00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:31,160 Speaker 1: a complete falling out offensively? Sure? Absolutely. Ryan Tannehill has 478 00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:33,720 Speaker 1: not been able to get rid of the game against 479 00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:36,240 Speaker 1: the Bengals. Every rep Willis gets in practice is going 480 00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:38,439 Speaker 1: to be scrutinized. And if he does well, if he 481 00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:41,880 Speaker 1: looks pretty good, wait for that. You can you create 482 00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:49,240 Speaker 1: just any any slice of doubt for Tannehill helps the 483 00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:53,240 Speaker 1: Colts of Texans and the Jaguars any doubt. But once 484 00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:56,720 Speaker 1: Willis takes over, what scares me about that is as 485 00:23:56,760 --> 00:23:59,200 Speaker 1: a rookie, and we've we've seen it here with a 486 00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:03,680 Speaker 1: dynamic rookie quarterback. If things go wrong, run just run. 487 00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:08,879 Speaker 1: And he's unbelievable as a runner, I mean really really 488 00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:11,639 Speaker 1: good as a runner, and so that that would scare me. Now, 489 00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:13,480 Speaker 1: will he throw you one e right now? Out again? Sure? 490 00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:16,040 Speaker 1: Will he not see you know, a trap corner? Sure 491 00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:19,000 Speaker 1: he'll throw you one. But he pulls it down and runs. 492 00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:23,320 Speaker 1: Oh wow, that's gonna be tough. Here's the one thing 493 00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:27,119 Speaker 1: again that could work against the Colts, and that's injuries. 494 00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:30,800 Speaker 1: We know that Shaquille won't be back to start the year, 495 00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:33,520 Speaker 1: may start the year. He had that back injury, and 496 00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:35,959 Speaker 1: so maybe there's a thought that he'll be there. You know, 497 00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:40,240 Speaker 1: Shaquille Leonard, you know, the linebacker for Shaquiel. Yeah, he 498 00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:42,600 Speaker 1: changed his name today. Growing up, apparently he went by 499 00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:45,359 Speaker 1: his middle name, Shaquille, he was Shaquie Leonard. Then somewhere 500 00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:47,640 Speaker 1: along the line it got changed to Darius. And now 501 00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:49,919 Speaker 1: five years into his NFL career, he wants to be 502 00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:53,800 Speaker 1: Shaquille Leonard again. But Nile's White called and said that's strange. Well, 503 00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:55,800 Speaker 1: there you go. Okay, if that's what he wants to do, 504 00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:58,960 Speaker 1: that's fine. So two years ago, the colst linebackers were 505 00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:03,119 Speaker 1: Darius Leonard and Bobby o'kreeky and now it's Shaquille Leonard 506 00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:07,960 Speaker 1: and Bobby o'kaackay. So you know, things change, Things change. No, 507 00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:10,639 Speaker 1: that's the way it goes. But if Leonard is not 508 00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:12,760 Speaker 1: one hundred percent healthy to start the year and we 509 00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:15,640 Speaker 1: catch them and he's not one hundred percent healthy even 510 00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:19,480 Speaker 1: though he's back, I mean, that's that's got to work 511 00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:21,080 Speaker 1: in your favor. And you got to think those things 512 00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:23,200 Speaker 1: do work in your favor. They lost Carry Willis was 513 00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:26,280 Speaker 1: a starting safety who decided to retire and go into 514 00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:30,280 Speaker 1: the ministry. You got that maybe Stefan Gilmour doesn't have 515 00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:33,040 Speaker 1: all that left, all that much gas left for gooding 516 00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:35,479 Speaker 1: about Gilmore. Maybe that helps you a little bit too. 517 00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:38,720 Speaker 1: But that is a really it's just a really talented 518 00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:40,840 Speaker 1: team that you gotta try and block up. And man, 519 00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:44,160 Speaker 1: that means the force Buckner, that means Grover Stewart, that 520 00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:47,320 Speaker 1: means quoity pay on the outside. So your offensive line 521 00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:49,960 Speaker 1: going into a game to give them, to get an 522 00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:53,000 Speaker 1: offensive line a fair fight, that's the day. If you're 523 00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:55,280 Speaker 1: gonna be balanced where you can hit him with the 524 00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:57,800 Speaker 1: run game and the encounter with play action. That's the 525 00:25:57,880 --> 00:25:59,360 Speaker 1: day you have to be able to do it. That's 526 00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:02,359 Speaker 1: the only way you keep that defensive line from just 527 00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:05,399 Speaker 1: pinning its ears back and going all over Dave's mills. 528 00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:09,840 Speaker 1: All right. Next up, more on training camps around the NFL. 529 00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:12,800 Speaker 1: Stuff going on today, Jimmy Garoppolo and the news. We 530 00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:15,160 Speaker 1: never reacted to Kyler Murray because that news came out 531 00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:18,199 Speaker 1: right after our show yesterday, but gosh, you know we 532 00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:20,919 Speaker 1: have something to say about that. Plus better call Saul 533 00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:25,320 Speaker 1: used a seventies icon last night to help out the show. 534 00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:27,800 Speaker 1: We're not going to spoil anything, but they did. We'll 535 00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:29,800 Speaker 1: share who that was. And you have to give me 536 00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:32,800 Speaker 1: a seventies icon that you want on this team. All right, 537 00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:36,919 Speaker 1: A player, a non quarterback or running back, seventies iconic 538 00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:39,720 Speaker 1: player to join the Houston Texans. Give it to me. Next, 539 00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:44,120 Speaker 1: Among other things here on Texans Radio, keeping a company Tuesday, 540 00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:47,040 Speaker 1: drive home or wherever you're driving to or wherever you're 541 00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:49,160 Speaker 1: listening if it's on a podcast kind of thing. Later, 542 00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:51,120 Speaker 1: like walking the dog like I do, because I walk 543 00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:53,520 Speaker 1: the dog at night, I walk young Pippa, who's not 544 00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:55,520 Speaker 1: that young anymore. And I listen to podcast that's what 545 00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:57,840 Speaker 1: I do. Right, of course you're gonna do that. That's 546 00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:00,199 Speaker 1: what you should do. Yeah, okay, here's a question for you, 547 00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:02,800 Speaker 1: because I've seen this pop up on Twitter a few times. 548 00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:06,000 Speaker 1: When you listen to the podcast, you listen at normal speed? 549 00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:07,960 Speaker 1: Or do you double it or double it or listen 550 00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:11,480 Speaker 1: at one and a half? Listen that I get doing that. 551 00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:14,840 Speaker 1: I want to get more information in. But if somebody's 552 00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:17,159 Speaker 1: gonna been listening to me like this, I don't want that, 553 00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:19,359 Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Please listen to normal speed. 554 00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:21,960 Speaker 1: I tuck fast enough. I think I've talked to younger 555 00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:24,440 Speaker 1: people that do that, and I'm I tried it. I 556 00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:26,800 Speaker 1: can't do it. I get it for a book or whatever, 557 00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:30,840 Speaker 1: but it doesn't sound right anyway. And look, I listen 558 00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:33,720 Speaker 1: to the podcast. I listen to her Smart List with 559 00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:36,440 Speaker 1: you know, Jason Bateman and friends. And I listen to 560 00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:39,720 Speaker 1: Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Space. 561 00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:41,600 Speaker 1: So you get the idea here. And I want to 562 00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:43,800 Speaker 1: hear those guys. I want to hear what they're like. Yea. 563 00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:45,399 Speaker 1: By the way, the Fly on the Wall with Jimmy 564 00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:47,960 Speaker 1: Fallon is outstanding, So listen to it at midnight okay, 565 00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:50,960 Speaker 1: after the day's programming is over on Sports Radio six 566 00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:53,359 Speaker 1: ten and Texans Radio and all that. Johnny last night, 567 00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:56,040 Speaker 1: Better Call Saul used Carol Burnett on the show as 568 00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:59,320 Speaker 1: a guest star, and she was great. She was great. 569 00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:02,280 Speaker 1: It's not a variety show, believe me. It's Better Called Saul. 570 00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:04,560 Speaker 1: So I won't spoil anything that happened during the program, 571 00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:07,920 Speaker 1: but give me a seventies iconic player that you would 572 00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:10,639 Speaker 1: want on the Texans, non quarterback or running back. They 573 00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:14,480 Speaker 1: used Carol Burnett, who's one of the greatest TV performers ever. 574 00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:18,000 Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I used to watch her show on Saturday 575 00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:20,600 Speaker 1: nights with my mom and the show doesn't really hold 576 00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:21,959 Speaker 1: up that well. But you got to give her all 577 00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:23,840 Speaker 1: the credit in the world. It was a variety show, 578 00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:26,400 Speaker 1: did it in front of an audience, and she was awesome. Anyway, 579 00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:28,639 Speaker 1: what do you got, Well, you said, going in a segment, 580 00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:31,399 Speaker 1: no quarterback, which I was quarterback, But then you just 581 00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:35,600 Speaker 1: sit no quarterback, no running back back automatically you'd think, 582 00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:39,800 Speaker 1: well or Campbell would that would without questions? The second 583 00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:42,280 Speaker 1: is he the best running back of the seventies with 584 00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:45,600 Speaker 1: the Buffalo people have an argument there? Or would they 585 00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:47,520 Speaker 1: would like to stay away from it. Considering some of 586 00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:49,720 Speaker 1: the legal they probably would stay away from it at 587 00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:54,360 Speaker 1: this point. But from a football standpoint, when the juice 588 00:28:54,400 --> 00:29:00,560 Speaker 1: got loose, I mean about that thing's happening, it's it's 589 00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:04,840 Speaker 1: hard not to make a joke. But he was. He 590 00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:08,360 Speaker 1: was ridiculously good. I mean, the other side of Walter 591 00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:10,200 Speaker 1: Payton would be the other one, right. I think if 592 00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:13,200 Speaker 1: you went now, Steelers fans would be like Franco. I 593 00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:18,400 Speaker 1: never the Franco thing, like he's great. It's not that 594 00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:21,480 Speaker 1: you're saying he's terrible or he's bad. He was a 595 00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:25,560 Speaker 1: great part of a great team. But look, he's gonna 596 00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:28,200 Speaker 1: be way further down on that list. That's why Jim 597 00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:31,880 Speaker 1: Brown was losing his mind when Franco was threatening his record. 598 00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:34,120 Speaker 1: He couldn't take it. Yeah, I thought it was gonna 599 00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:36,360 Speaker 1: be a terrible thing. Walter Payton he was okay with. 600 00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:42,120 Speaker 1: So I'm gonna I'll stick. Speaking of icon I'm gonna 601 00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:46,920 Speaker 1: go even though this defensive line has eight thousand players 602 00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:51,600 Speaker 1: on it, right, I feel like the one player that 603 00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:54,360 Speaker 1: I would love to have from the seventies became iconic 604 00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:55,960 Speaker 1: also for a commercial, but he was one of the 605 00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:58,320 Speaker 1: great defensive lineman of all time, if not one, top 606 00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:02,240 Speaker 1: three is me Joe Green. You put me and Joe 607 00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:05,760 Speaker 1: in Love's defense and you could play him over the 608 00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:07,040 Speaker 1: nose or you could play him at the three. You 609 00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:10,600 Speaker 1: could play it either. But just the attitude he brought two. 610 00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:14,160 Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not saying this. This team has plenty 611 00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:16,719 Speaker 1: of leaders and they do it their own particular way. 612 00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:19,920 Speaker 1: But me and Joe Green was a bad, bad man 613 00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:24,200 Speaker 1: and his teammates knew it. And I think there's something 614 00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:28,200 Speaker 1: in playing with a guy like that, that that's your 615 00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:31,000 Speaker 1: guy where you're like, yeah, you're not gonna mess with us, 616 00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:33,600 Speaker 1: because he's with us, you won't mess with us, and 617 00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:35,960 Speaker 1: you kind of fall in line. You talk all the 618 00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:39,080 Speaker 1: trash and you feel great about it. But he's the 619 00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:40,920 Speaker 1: guy they're really scared of. And I think me and 620 00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:43,240 Speaker 1: Joe Green would have been that guy for this defensive 621 00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:45,960 Speaker 1: line for sure. It's funny because that John McClain's thing 622 00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:48,240 Speaker 1: at the improv last month. It was great. He was 623 00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:51,920 Speaker 1: the pastor. Yeah, he was there, and it's amazing. That 624 00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:54,640 Speaker 1: was an amazing thing about that night where you have 625 00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:57,200 Speaker 1: me and Joe Green in the room and you have 626 00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:00,320 Speaker 1: a lot of former oilers, you know, Ken Hughes in 627 00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:03,320 Speaker 1: the room. You have hall of famers dotting the room. 628 00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:06,440 Speaker 1: Pastorini's up there at the podium. Somebody says something It 629 00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:08,480 Speaker 1: was like a little hecko but with love or whatever, 630 00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:11,760 Speaker 1: and he said, hey, stop it me and Joe Green's 631 00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:14,280 Speaker 1: over there and he's a friend of mine. Now I 632 00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:16,960 Speaker 1: thought that was great. I mean, just rolled that right out. Pas. 633 00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:20,160 Speaker 1: That's good. And just to think that those two guys, 634 00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:24,640 Speaker 1: I mean, Pastorini faced that steel curtain. Is it pandering? 635 00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:26,840 Speaker 1: If I say Robert Brazil, you know, I'd love to 636 00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:30,280 Speaker 1: add him on this team, but I think that that's okay. 637 00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:32,560 Speaker 1: Would it makes sense based on what they just went 638 00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:35,360 Speaker 1: through though with Metchi, I would say Lynn Swann, give 639 00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:38,360 Speaker 1: me some Lynn Swan on this team, and or Stalworth, 640 00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:41,760 Speaker 1: but that would come in handy because Swan in today's 641 00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:44,640 Speaker 1: NFL is going to catch a lot of pastles. All right, 642 00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:47,920 Speaker 1: those guys had to deal with going across the middle. 643 00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:50,600 Speaker 1: I know, you just the cliche. You didn't want to 644 00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:54,720 Speaker 1: do it. Now, who's ever afraid to go across the middle. 645 00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:57,280 Speaker 1: You might get pop, but you know they're gonna get flag. 646 00:31:57,360 --> 00:31:59,920 Speaker 1: So they're thinking twice about it before they hit you 647 00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:04,160 Speaker 1: that hard. It. Growing up, you just didn't go across 648 00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:06,239 Speaker 1: the middle. Even by the time you got to you know, 649 00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:08,280 Speaker 1: in the eighties for me, like and you just didn't 650 00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:10,400 Speaker 1: go across the middle. It was a badge of honor 651 00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:13,360 Speaker 1: for you to go across the middle and live to 652 00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:17,720 Speaker 1: tell about it. Yeah. I mean in Lynch Swan his game, 653 00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:21,280 Speaker 1: You're right, his game was made for now. He was acrobatic, 654 00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:24,120 Speaker 1: he had tremendous hands. I mean, he he would have 655 00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:27,680 Speaker 1: been made for this, for this game now, but he was. 656 00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:30,440 Speaker 1: He was tough. Now he went across the middle. And 657 00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:32,520 Speaker 1: all these hits that you see in the NFL now 658 00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:35,320 Speaker 1: I should say, oh them, But there are certain number 659 00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:36,880 Speaker 1: of hits that you see and you go, oh, that's 660 00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:39,040 Speaker 1: oh man, that's illegal. He hit him right in ahead. 661 00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:41,800 Speaker 1: Oh he hit him. Oh man, that that was Oh 662 00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:43,760 Speaker 1: that's fifteen yards. Store that guy out of the game. 663 00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:47,280 Speaker 1: That was illegal. Yeah. All of that was old NBA 664 00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:50,120 Speaker 1: highlights where they're just clotheslining each other and you're thinking, 665 00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:54,640 Speaker 1: maybe like half a season now, Mac nice basketball. Yeah, 666 00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:59,920 Speaker 1: Mattie's basketball is just or Celtics pistons. You know, that 667 00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:03,800 Speaker 1: kind of stuff. It's just awesome to watch it. It's great. Okay, 668 00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:07,640 Speaker 1: where else are we going? Well? I have to react 669 00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:14,120 Speaker 1: to the Kyler Murray stuff. Okay, it's look, I get it. 670 00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:18,160 Speaker 1: It's a bad look maybe for everybody. The fact that 671 00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:20,120 Speaker 1: they felt like they had to put that in there 672 00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:23,680 Speaker 1: speaks volumes. The fact that he told the New York Times. 673 00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:26,120 Speaker 1: Is that what he told the New York Times that 674 00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:28,080 Speaker 1: he didn't feel like he needed to do as much. 675 00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:31,080 Speaker 1: I'm paraphrasing here. How can you say that in this 676 00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:33,680 Speaker 1: league when you have not won a playoff game? You 677 00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:36,600 Speaker 1: cannot say that. You can't say that, I'm sorry. And 678 00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:39,960 Speaker 1: the kid is immensely talented. He's got all the tools. 679 00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:42,920 Speaker 1: You know, you can criticize. Is he the prototype that 680 00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:45,880 Speaker 1: you really need? Size wise? Look, he's got all the tools. 681 00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:49,280 Speaker 1: He's got the tools to be even more successful. And 682 00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:53,240 Speaker 1: you can't wing it at that position, No, not just level. 683 00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:55,640 Speaker 1: From time to time, you'll get away with something, and 684 00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:57,760 Speaker 1: when things break down, that's when you want to wing it. 685 00:33:57,800 --> 00:34:00,920 Speaker 1: That's when those improvisational skills come handy. But you've got 686 00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:04,400 Speaker 1: to run an offense otherwise you're not gonna make it. 687 00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:06,280 Speaker 1: You're not gonna make it to where you want to go, 688 00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:09,279 Speaker 1: and that's the championship level. There's no doubt. And this 689 00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:11,720 Speaker 1: came straight from the horse's mouth. This came from Michael 690 00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:14,400 Speaker 1: Vick watching a documentary on vic and I think it 691 00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:17,080 Speaker 1: was a football life. It was maybe twenty eighteen twenty nineteen. 692 00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:19,239 Speaker 1: NFL Films did one on him, and it was It 693 00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:20,840 Speaker 1: was really interesting. And one of the things that he 694 00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:25,400 Speaker 1: talked about was he never before he went to jail, 695 00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:28,520 Speaker 1: he never read the game plan, never read the playbook. 696 00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:32,200 Speaker 1: He would he would on an off day, fly to Virginia, 697 00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:35,279 Speaker 1: be with his friends, come back to Atlanta, just run 698 00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:39,560 Speaker 1: things in practice. First one out the door, he admitted. 699 00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:41,560 Speaker 1: He was like, my talent was only gonna take me 700 00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:46,279 Speaker 1: so far. Incredible. Ecually, the NFL caught up to me 701 00:34:47,120 --> 00:34:48,680 Speaker 1: and I didn't know how to deal with it. And 702 00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:50,759 Speaker 1: then that's when he started flipping off the crowd. He 703 00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:53,759 Speaker 1: was completing under fifty nine percent of his passes. They 704 00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:56,600 Speaker 1: were catching up to him, and he wasn't doing the 705 00:34:56,680 --> 00:35:00,760 Speaker 1: things that it took to improve his game. He wasn't. 706 00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:03,279 Speaker 1: He didn't even know he was facing He didn't know 707 00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:05,440 Speaker 1: what they were. He would see things in team meetings 708 00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:07,200 Speaker 1: and that was really what he said. Oh that's all 709 00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:10,359 Speaker 1: he knew. That's where Kyler Murray is. Kyler is not 710 00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:13,320 Speaker 1: the athlete Michael Vick is, but he's got those type 711 00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:16,560 Speaker 1: athletic skills. If he were Michael Vick size, you have 712 00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:20,000 Speaker 1: to outlawn. But what strikes me in the first three years, 713 00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:22,319 Speaker 1: I don't think Kyler Murray has gotten any better. That 714 00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:24,760 Speaker 1: just strikes me. It doesn't look like he's gotten any better, 715 00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:30,080 Speaker 1: and there's really no improvement. He's been good because he's 716 00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:33,480 Speaker 1: athletically gifted beyond anybody else in the field. I know 717 00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:35,520 Speaker 1: by the way he's had DeAndre Hopkins to throw too, 718 00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:39,480 Speaker 1: and Rondel Moore and aj Green as a quarterback's best friend. Yes, 719 00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:43,640 Speaker 1: and so Kyler Murray can roll right avoid all these 720 00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:47,279 Speaker 1: you know, big obese defensive lineman and then eventually just 721 00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:49,239 Speaker 1: launch one down the field. And that's what he's been 722 00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:52,200 Speaker 1: able to do. But if he were studying the game 723 00:35:52,239 --> 00:35:54,400 Speaker 1: plan and knowing some of the ins and outs of things, 724 00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:57,560 Speaker 1: there's no telling what he would be what he would 725 00:35:57,560 --> 00:35:59,479 Speaker 1: be able to do. Brett Farve was like that early 726 00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:03,040 Speaker 1: in his career too, But Brett learned and it came 727 00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:05,799 Speaker 1: about this that that epiphany came at about the same 728 00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:08,799 Speaker 1: time he went to rehab for the painkillers. He kind 729 00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:10,759 Speaker 1: of had the epiphany of, you know what, I better 730 00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:13,560 Speaker 1: start studying a little bit. They're catching up to me. 731 00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:15,720 Speaker 1: I need to start doing it and spending more time 732 00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:18,279 Speaker 1: learning the game. And his dad was a coach. That's 733 00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:21,360 Speaker 1: the thing. Kevin Murray has been around sports and athletics 734 00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:25,520 Speaker 1: a long time. His dad, Yeah, Kyler's dad, Kevin, and 735 00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:28,320 Speaker 1: Kevin has driven a lot of what's happened in Kyler's 736 00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:31,120 Speaker 1: career a lot. Yeah, but you can lead the horse 737 00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:34,600 Speaker 1: to water. It doesn't necessarily happen, right, but you got 738 00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:36,840 Speaker 1: to create a habit, which is worse the fact that 739 00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:40,520 Speaker 1: they put it in or they only put in four hours. 740 00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:43,239 Speaker 1: I think more than that. Both of those are bad. 741 00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:47,120 Speaker 1: But also how did it get out? Well, I don't know, 742 00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:49,120 Speaker 1: that's a good question. How did it get out with 743 00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:52,400 Speaker 1: somebody wanted it out? Because these contracts are not released 744 00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:54,240 Speaker 1: to the public. It's not like that are on file 745 00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:56,880 Speaker 1: Downtown Round. That was my question. I talked about a 746 00:36:56,880 --> 00:36:59,280 Speaker 1: little bit last night, um at the very end show, 747 00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:04,040 Speaker 1: But that was my thing, Like, it's there's no way 748 00:37:04,120 --> 00:37:06,360 Speaker 1: you can put a positive spin on it, and I tried, 749 00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:08,439 Speaker 1: I'm like, I don't know. Well, at least they put 750 00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:10,080 Speaker 1: it in there because they felt like they had to. 751 00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:11,719 Speaker 1: But the fact that they felt like they had they 752 00:37:11,719 --> 00:37:13,960 Speaker 1: gave him all that money and everything. Oh my gosh, 753 00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:16,200 Speaker 1: it's incredible. You're a Cardinals fan. You have to be 754 00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:19,759 Speaker 1: sick to your stomach with that. Oh yeah, absolutely, all right. 755 00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:21,719 Speaker 1: Next up, you tell me how it's gonna work in 756 00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:24,520 Speaker 1: New England, because Bill Belichick's not telling me, He's not 757 00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:27,719 Speaker 1: telling anybody anything about how they're going to handle the 758 00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:32,320 Speaker 1: offense this year. And Jimmy Garoppolo, he will not go away, 759 00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:35,480 Speaker 1: Will he go anywhere? It's coming up here on Texans Radio, 760 00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:37,480 Speaker 1: all right, wrapping it up with the final segment here 761 00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:41,600 Speaker 1: Texans All Access Today, Johnny, Bill Belichick will not announce 762 00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:45,360 Speaker 1: who's calling plays. Is this, I know, hardly a surprise. 763 00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:49,560 Speaker 1: Why though, Why are people so secretive? Is it because 764 00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:52,880 Speaker 1: they just resent the media writing about it, no pining 765 00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:55,560 Speaker 1: and everything, and he just wants to keep it close 766 00:37:55,600 --> 00:38:00,680 Speaker 1: to the vest Or is it really for security measures? 767 00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:03,520 Speaker 1: Security reasons? I don't want the Buffalo Bills to know 768 00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:05,959 Speaker 1: that Patricia's calling a player or I'm calling a player 769 00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:08,719 Speaker 1: because that gives them an advantage? Does it? Really? It 770 00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:12,359 Speaker 1: can if a play caller has certain tendencies, like if 771 00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:14,319 Speaker 1: you're going into if you're going into a game and 772 00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:16,920 Speaker 1: you know the play caller is, like in preparing for 773 00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:19,880 Speaker 1: the Texans this year, just using them as an example, 774 00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:22,680 Speaker 1: Pep was not the offensive coordinator last year. He was here, 775 00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:25,080 Speaker 1: But how are you going to prepare for the Texans 776 00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:27,239 Speaker 1: at that point? What are you what are you gonna do? 777 00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:29,840 Speaker 1: Are you gonna look at last year's film because scheme wise, 778 00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:32,719 Speaker 1: it's gonna be different. So you want to get a 779 00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:34,759 Speaker 1: read on the players, So you watch last year's film 780 00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:36,520 Speaker 1: to get a read on the players. But then what 781 00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:38,279 Speaker 1: are you gonna do? You're gonna go find Okay, where 782 00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:40,840 Speaker 1: was Pep last calling plays? Well, he's last calling plays 783 00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:44,400 Speaker 1: any XFL. You're gonna go get the XFL team to yea, 784 00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:47,040 Speaker 1: you are, You're gonna go get when was the offense quitter? 785 00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:50,560 Speaker 1: You're gonna go get those things. So the Patriots are 786 00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:52,520 Speaker 1: gonna run. With the Patriots run, it's just a matter 787 00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:55,520 Speaker 1: of how how Patricia is gonna call them and how 788 00:38:55,520 --> 00:38:57,800 Speaker 1: he gets in a rhythm of calling those particular plays, 789 00:38:57,800 --> 00:38:59,200 Speaker 1: what he likes all that you won't find that. I 790 00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:02,600 Speaker 1: think he's doing it. What's your prediction, Yeah, that's it's Patricia. 791 00:39:02,760 --> 00:39:05,000 Speaker 1: Patricia's gonna be. I think he's gonna call the place. 792 00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:08,279 Speaker 1: Keep in mind, he's gonna drive Billichick nuts. Oh, Billichick's 793 00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:10,640 Speaker 1: gonna be. He probably already has. But I remember in 794 00:39:10,640 --> 00:39:12,640 Speaker 1: two thousand and nine, who called plays in two thousand 795 00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:15,200 Speaker 1: nine for the Patriots. Do you remember Bill O'Brien, Bill lebrian. 796 00:39:15,360 --> 00:39:17,520 Speaker 1: Was he the offensive coordinator? No? No, he did not 797 00:39:17,600 --> 00:39:19,520 Speaker 1: have that title. So there are two things that There 798 00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:22,160 Speaker 1: are two things that happen here. Number One, because he's 799 00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:24,680 Speaker 1: not the coordinator, he gets to get his full contract 800 00:39:24,840 --> 00:39:27,880 Speaker 1: Patricia does from the Detroit Lions, as does Joe Judge 801 00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:32,120 Speaker 1: from the New York Giants. And secondly, required coordinator calls. 802 00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:35,160 Speaker 1: Don't have to show up you're not the coordinator. During 803 00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:36,960 Speaker 1: the week, you have to meet with the media, but 804 00:39:37,080 --> 00:39:38,920 Speaker 1: you don't have to do it. You just nailed it. 805 00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:41,520 Speaker 1: That's exactly what it is. Does not have to put 806 00:39:41,520 --> 00:39:43,719 Speaker 1: the assistance out there in front of the media. He 807 00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:47,160 Speaker 1: wanted one voice, and that's why a lot of people 808 00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:50,880 Speaker 1: who associate with the Patriots and go somewhere else like 809 00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:53,359 Speaker 1: that one voice thing. And I can get that too. 810 00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:56,640 Speaker 1: I understand that. You know, if somebody's studying my flag 811 00:39:56,680 --> 00:40:00,239 Speaker 1: football play calling tendencies with the nine year olds, they're 812 00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:03,680 Speaker 1: gonna see very clearly if they study it, my play 813 00:40:03,680 --> 00:40:06,440 Speaker 1: calling is this, throw it to the fast kid or 814 00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:08,759 Speaker 1: throw it to the kid who's matched up against the 815 00:40:08,800 --> 00:40:12,280 Speaker 1: slowest kid from the other team. I'm pretty simple for me, Johnny, 816 00:40:12,280 --> 00:40:14,719 Speaker 1: I think I just gave away my entire playbook right there, 817 00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:17,239 Speaker 1: all right, Garoppolo, Is he gonna leave San Francisco and 818 00:40:17,320 --> 00:40:19,600 Speaker 1: not Yes, Trey Lance is the guy. They said it 819 00:40:19,840 --> 00:40:23,799 Speaker 1: today by day I mean him, they have no trade partner. Well, 820 00:40:23,840 --> 00:40:25,799 Speaker 1: that's the thing. It's gonna happen, that's the thing they 821 00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:28,080 Speaker 1: they said it, and I appreciate them being one hundred 822 00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:29,799 Speaker 1: percent honest. And they may not get anything for him. 823 00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:31,239 Speaker 1: I don't know what how much they were gonna get 824 00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:34,160 Speaker 1: from anyways. But now at this point, if you can 825 00:40:34,239 --> 00:40:37,919 Speaker 1: just wait it out for however long, let him pass 826 00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:39,879 Speaker 1: his physical and San Francisco to show that he can 827 00:40:39,880 --> 00:40:43,880 Speaker 1: do it and that he's fine, just wait it out anyway. 828 00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:47,440 Speaker 1: So this is good from an internal football standpoint, who 829 00:40:47,560 --> 00:40:53,440 Speaker 1: signs him when he's released? He gets released Seattle. Oh, 830 00:40:53,480 --> 00:40:56,680 Speaker 1: I think Seattle would be the team of need when 831 00:40:56,680 --> 00:40:59,759 Speaker 1: you have Geno Smith and True Locke. Now, weren't those 832 00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:02,680 Speaker 1: guys rated below? Davis Mills and that Mike Sando athletic 833 00:41:02,760 --> 00:41:05,480 Speaker 1: article which is the gospel of course, could be more 834 00:41:05,480 --> 00:41:07,479 Speaker 1: accurate than that. Let me give you a spot where 835 00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:10,920 Speaker 1: there would be all kinds of drama. Not here, please, no, no, 836 00:41:10,920 --> 00:41:16,760 Speaker 1: no, no no. Where the Washington commanders ooh with winth that's interesting. 837 00:41:16,840 --> 00:41:20,000 Speaker 1: Now they drafted Sam Howe, but Jimmy Garoppolo comes in 838 00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:24,359 Speaker 1: and backs up wins. You talk about Crater, Well, let 839 00:41:24,360 --> 00:41:28,000 Speaker 1: me give you another place, New Orleans, that would make sense. 840 00:41:28,920 --> 00:41:32,640 Speaker 1: I mean, either to compete or be ready just in 841 00:41:32,719 --> 00:41:35,840 Speaker 1: case or whatever. I mean. I think that's a reasonable location, 842 00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:38,920 Speaker 1: says players this week have been all behind Jamis Winston. 843 00:41:39,239 --> 00:41:41,160 Speaker 1: It was all well and good until Jamis throws three 844 00:41:41,200 --> 00:41:45,279 Speaker 1: touchdowns three interceptions every game, and that Garoppolo is gonna 845 00:41:45,280 --> 00:41:47,480 Speaker 1: be perfect either, right, because but he's not gonna turn 846 00:41:47,480 --> 00:41:49,960 Speaker 1: a ball over as much. I don't think, Yeah, as 847 00:41:50,040 --> 00:41:54,279 Speaker 1: Jamis possibly can. We We've seen Jamis. You seen it 848 00:41:54,280 --> 00:41:56,560 Speaker 1: in almost every game. I mean against us in nineteen 849 00:41:56,560 --> 00:41:59,239 Speaker 1: What do you have? Three touchdowns and four interceptions? I 850 00:41:59,280 --> 00:42:01,960 Speaker 1: mean that it's a Jamis game. I mean you just 851 00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:04,040 Speaker 1: that's what you get. At least It's not gonna be 852 00:42:04,120 --> 00:42:06,520 Speaker 1: as exciting with Jimmy there, but he got a feeling 853 00:42:06,640 --> 00:42:09,120 Speaker 1: is probably not going to turn over as much. It's 854 00:42:09,120 --> 00:42:12,520 Speaker 1: a pretty good jamis, pretty good team that can contend 855 00:42:12,520 --> 00:42:16,040 Speaker 1: in that well, Brady and Brady has Julio Jones thoughts. 856 00:42:19,239 --> 00:42:22,319 Speaker 1: Here's my honest thought is who cares who's better? Right now? 857 00:42:22,320 --> 00:42:25,120 Speaker 1: AJ Green or Julio? JJ Green? Right? Is AJ Green 858 00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:27,960 Speaker 1: right now as Julio's I mean we saw it. We 859 00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:29,960 Speaker 1: saw it that last he did gets a touchdown, and 860 00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:32,040 Speaker 1: we talked about that during a broadcast. I said that 861 00:42:32,080 --> 00:42:33,759 Speaker 1: Titans suld get him involved, that they want to get 862 00:42:33,800 --> 00:42:38,359 Speaker 1: anything from him in the playoff game like the entire season. Yes, 863 00:42:38,880 --> 00:42:42,120 Speaker 1: doesn't scary anymore, total ghost. And he was as frightening 864 00:42:42,160 --> 00:42:44,520 Speaker 1: as it gets at that position. All right, Johnny, thanks 865 00:42:44,520 --> 00:42:46,040 Speaker 1: a lot, They got a mark. Thank you.
