1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:02,840 Speaker 1: Hello Texans, and welcome to the program that gets you 2 00:00:02,920 --> 00:00:06,120 Speaker 1: inside NRG Stadium, inside our minds, which can be a 3 00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:08,760 Speaker 1: dangerous place to be. It's Mark Vanjama or John Harris 4 00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:13,520 Speaker 1: with you on a beautiful Tuesday. Now I hesitate to 5 00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:15,520 Speaker 1: say beautiful. A lot of people think it's too sticky 6 00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:18,560 Speaker 1: and cloudy, but it's warm and I'm preferring it over 7 00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:22,520 Speaker 1: the deep freeze. So we'll just start there. Think positively, Johnny, 8 00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:26,479 Speaker 1: how are you today? I'm doing well. I'm thinking positively. Mark, 9 00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:29,120 Speaker 1: I'm right there with you. But it is sticky. Let's 10 00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:33,400 Speaker 1: let's be honest. Yeah, we're moving in that direction. That 11 00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:38,720 Speaker 1: yeah is we know it's coming. We know what's coming. 12 00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:41,319 Speaker 1: And all of us, all of us, all of us 13 00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:44,560 Speaker 1: in the city of Houston and surrounding areas said back 14 00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:47,400 Speaker 1: in mid to late February when that freeze was here, 15 00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:50,839 Speaker 1: I don't care what it takes. I need summer to 16 00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:54,200 Speaker 1: get back here. Well, it's coming, and so be careful 17 00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:57,040 Speaker 1: what you ask were because it's almost here. Yep, no 18 00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:58,680 Speaker 1: doubt about it. Hey. A little bit later on in 19 00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:03,360 Speaker 1: the show, Chester Pit signs the ceremonial one day to retire, 20 00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:05,679 Speaker 1: officially as a Texan. It's pretty cool because he's going 21 00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:07,720 Speaker 1: up to the draft, so that's gonna be great. We 22 00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:11,360 Speaker 1: will visit with him in segment number two. Final segment, 23 00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:13,880 Speaker 1: go over our draft coverage because you don't want him 24 00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:15,959 Speaker 1: as a second of it. What we're gonna be planning 25 00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:18,840 Speaker 1: for you this weekend, not only on Texans Radio on 26 00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:21,720 Speaker 1: Sports Radio six ten, but beyond as We will be 27 00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:24,399 Speaker 1: all over this draft and Johnny, you are obviously a 28 00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:26,240 Speaker 1: huge part of it. Johnny, if you go down, there's 29 00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:28,760 Speaker 1: no pressure here. But if you go down, there is 30 00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:31,640 Speaker 1: no backup. Okay, you are it. This is like one 31 00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:35,000 Speaker 1: of those games where Shane Leckler is the next quarterback up. 32 00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:37,440 Speaker 1: If you go down, you're the QB of this thing. 33 00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:40,360 Speaker 1: So we need you, my friend. So don't you know, 34 00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:44,960 Speaker 1: take any risks. Don't cross the street without looking. I 35 00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:47,120 Speaker 1: don't even know if you should be driving. You should 36 00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:50,200 Speaker 1: have a food taster. We need you this week. But 37 00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:53,600 Speaker 1: I appreciate it, Thank you very much. It is first 38 00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:55,760 Speaker 1: of all, if something were to happen, I'll I'll send 39 00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:58,960 Speaker 1: you my big document and you can just read verbatim 40 00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:01,440 Speaker 1: what I have to say. It's it's always fun because 41 00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:03,960 Speaker 1: you can always kind of sprinkle in some of the 42 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,040 Speaker 1: little things and watching the guy and find you know 43 00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:09,240 Speaker 1: how I found this guy and and that's always kind 44 00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:11,240 Speaker 1: of fun to add in. And then of course the 45 00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:14,120 Speaker 1: local angle you know of guys. You know Peyton Turner 46 00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:17,080 Speaker 1: from University Houston, who at number sixty seven may be 47 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:20,560 Speaker 1: a very solid pick for the Texans. You know, went 48 00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:22,799 Speaker 1: to my son's high school at West Side. You know, 49 00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:25,120 Speaker 1: my son went for a few years and then went 50 00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:28,000 Speaker 1: to University Houston. So I always like those Houston connections. 51 00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:30,240 Speaker 1: The last few years we've had we've definitely had a few. 52 00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:32,920 Speaker 1: But you know, the quarterbacks in this draft mark or 53 00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:38,919 Speaker 1: what make it really interesting. And I guess interesting is 54 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:41,600 Speaker 1: the right word, because you know we could have quarterbacks 55 00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,600 Speaker 1: go one, two, three, four. I don't think they go 56 00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:47,120 Speaker 1: want to three, four, five, but very easily you want 57 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,320 Speaker 1: one to three. That I think has definitely happened. It's 58 00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:52,760 Speaker 1: no matter what San Francisco is going to do. And 59 00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:55,600 Speaker 1: hopefully we all live to see Sunday because I think 60 00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:58,720 Speaker 1: with make Kyle Shanahan very very happy. Apparently, don't we 61 00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:02,840 Speaker 1: all think that the recent success of seeing guys play 62 00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:06,000 Speaker 1: well early When you look at Deshaun Watson. You look 63 00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:09,840 Speaker 1: at Baker Mayfield looking good pretty early. When you look 64 00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 1: at last year Justin Herbert looking really good early, to 65 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:17,480 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray looking good early. That plays into all this 66 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,480 Speaker 1: where teams are thinking, I gotta hit lightning in a bottle, 67 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:22,600 Speaker 1: or maybe I can't hit lightning in a bottle, and 68 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,120 Speaker 1: I'm gonna do it. Mac Jones, Hey, welcome to the NFL. 69 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:29,079 Speaker 1: You're gonna start, maybe not day one, but maybe week three, 70 00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:31,760 Speaker 1: but maybe week one, and we'll see how it goes. 71 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,640 Speaker 1: I think there's a lot of pressure on these young kids. Well, 72 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,480 Speaker 1: the irony in some sense of all the guys that 73 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:42,440 Speaker 1: you mentioned, all of those players that you mentioned, the 74 00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:46,680 Speaker 1: one that started the latest is maybe the best one, 75 00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:50,640 Speaker 1: and that's Patrick Mahomes. Mahomes had the opportunity to sit 76 00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:54,160 Speaker 1: behind Alex Smith. He played. Mahomes played in that week 77 00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:57,000 Speaker 1: seventeen game against Denver, but that was because the Chiefs 78 00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:58,920 Speaker 1: had it sewn up, they knew where they were going 79 00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:02,200 Speaker 1: into playoffs. They lost that next playoff game to the Titans, 80 00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:04,560 Speaker 1: and then Mahomes took over. Smiths traded to Washington and 81 00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:07,600 Speaker 1: obviously the rest is his history for Kansas City. But 82 00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:10,560 Speaker 1: he got he got a chance to sit watch and 83 00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,680 Speaker 1: we said that Draft night. I look, I was always 84 00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:17,040 Speaker 1: mahomes biggest supporter that I know he can do this 85 00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:20,240 Speaker 1: and if you give him time to learn, my goodness, 86 00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 1: And I think it's the same with some of these guys, 87 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:26,680 Speaker 1: even Mac Jones, for as he as his brain is 88 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:31,240 Speaker 1: about football, it still would help to be able to 89 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:35,680 Speaker 1: sit and watch a vet do it and understand that. 90 00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,640 Speaker 1: Herbert week two last year, he's thrown the fire because 91 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:43,320 Speaker 1: Tad takes that shot and it goes haywire and and 92 00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:45,840 Speaker 1: he can't play. Herbert steps in. It's like he didn't 93 00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:49,320 Speaker 1: look back. Baker Mayfield took over I think in week three. 94 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:52,520 Speaker 1: Sam Donald took over in week two. I think back 95 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:56,080 Speaker 1: in twenty eighteen, Lamar took over halfway through. Josh Allen 96 00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:58,000 Speaker 1: was starting when he came to Houston in week five 97 00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:00,400 Speaker 1: or six back in twenty eighteen. He's got have all 98 00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,200 Speaker 1: started in their careers relatively early. And that's the thing. 99 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:06,000 Speaker 1: There's no sit and wait anymore for the most part. 100 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:09,440 Speaker 1: With one exception, and that might be the pick at three, 101 00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:13,000 Speaker 1: because Jimmy Garoppolo is there now. The foreignots can trade 102 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:16,200 Speaker 1: him and do some things I actually heard this proposed, 103 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:19,240 Speaker 1: and this is crazy and I don't even know if 104 00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:20,839 Speaker 1: I want to bring it up. I heard this proposed 105 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:24,359 Speaker 1: Jim Miller. Jim Miller I serious X Radio said because 106 00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:29,680 Speaker 1: partner Pat Kurwen. He said, Pat, do you think Robert 107 00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:34,880 Speaker 1: Salo knows Jimmy Garoppolo? Do you think that they might 108 00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:39,120 Speaker 1: trade for Jimmy Garoppolo, give up something later in the 109 00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:43,680 Speaker 1: draft for Jimmy Garoppolo and then draft Kyle Pitts or 110 00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:46,200 Speaker 1: Jamar Chase or whatever one of those pass catchers at 111 00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:51,039 Speaker 1: number two. And I was like, that's so hold on 112 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:54,800 Speaker 1: a second, that is so New York Jets. Yes, it's 113 00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:57,840 Speaker 1: very New York Jets. Because I don't think Jimmy's the answer. 114 00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:01,160 Speaker 1: I do think Zach Wilson can be the answer and 115 00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:05,080 Speaker 1: due time, and so after a while, I was kind 116 00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:07,240 Speaker 1: of like, I wouldn't do it, but it makes some 117 00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:10,640 Speaker 1: sense to think about. But don't you think that Jimmy 118 00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:13,960 Speaker 1: is the answer if Jimmy's healthy. I think a healthy 119 00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:15,920 Speaker 1: Jimmy is a hell of a quarterback. I mean, I 120 00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:19,479 Speaker 1: don't understand why people are so down on him other 121 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:22,080 Speaker 1: than a miss deep throw in the Super Bowl. And 122 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:23,800 Speaker 1: I know that team ran the ball well, and he 123 00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:26,120 Speaker 1: wasn't all world. He wasn't as lights out as he 124 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:28,680 Speaker 1: was in those first few starts that he had late 125 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,400 Speaker 1: in twenty seventeen, and it was looking so promising. But 126 00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:34,800 Speaker 1: to me, I believe he's good. But you can't put 127 00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:36,880 Speaker 1: all your eggs in that basket obviously because of the 128 00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:40,119 Speaker 1: injury prone issue. I am with you, and I feel 129 00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:44,080 Speaker 1: like injuries are just hope extinguished because how many times, 130 00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:48,320 Speaker 1: I mean, think about what we felt about Will Fuller 131 00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:54,919 Speaker 1: Thursday night, Miami, twenty eighteen. The three of us are talking, Me, 132 00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:58,120 Speaker 1: you and Andre and we're like, yo, we're getting this 133 00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:02,200 Speaker 1: thing cranked up. Now look at us now, Will tears 134 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:04,120 Speaker 1: his acl and all a sudden, were like and it 135 00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:06,320 Speaker 1: was the same thing for Will. It's the different positions. 136 00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:11,000 Speaker 1: The injuries always just popped up, and you never like, 137 00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,920 Speaker 1: can we trust it? We were always asking is Will 138 00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:17,920 Speaker 1: gonna play? Yeah? And you can't do that with your quarterback. 139 00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:20,520 Speaker 1: There's no way. You couldn't really do it with your receiver, 140 00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:22,560 Speaker 1: but you couldn't do it with the quarterback. And I 141 00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:24,520 Speaker 1: agree with you. I think if Jimmy were healthy and 142 00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:27,640 Speaker 1: you knew okay, We're gonna get healthy Jimmy for almost 143 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:30,360 Speaker 1: sixteen weeks, if not sixteen weeks in twenty nineteen and 144 00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:33,520 Speaker 1: the forty nine ers go to the the Super Bowl, So 145 00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:37,640 Speaker 1: you know, he wasn't He wasn't the biggest part of it, 146 00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:39,320 Speaker 1: but he was a big part of what they were doing. 147 00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:41,600 Speaker 1: I don't think it's outside the round possibility. I think 148 00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:44,600 Speaker 1: Jimmy gets a bad rap for that Super Bowl performance. 149 00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:47,280 Speaker 1: And the Chiefs defense was good in that game. He 150 00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:49,160 Speaker 1: missed one throw and all of a sudden, it was like, 151 00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:51,880 Speaker 1: not gotta get rid of, gonna move on. I don't know. 152 00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:54,560 Speaker 1: I don't buy that. If I'm the forty nine ers, 153 00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:57,880 Speaker 1: there is no way I'm giving up Jimmy unless somebody 154 00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:01,680 Speaker 1: blows me away. Because I could draft a quarterback number three, 155 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:03,240 Speaker 1: but I just gave away a lot to get up 156 00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:05,920 Speaker 1: to number three. Now, I guess that means you sort 157 00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:09,320 Speaker 1: of have to play the guy you draft. Yet, are 158 00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:11,800 Speaker 1: you gonna be good right away? You're in the toughest 159 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:15,280 Speaker 1: division in football, probably still right and you want to 160 00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:17,160 Speaker 1: make noise right away? Are you gonna be able to 161 00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:20,000 Speaker 1: do it with Mac Jones or whoever you draft? Right there, 162 00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:22,760 Speaker 1: I'm throwing out the mac Jones because that's the wildest theory. 163 00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:24,920 Speaker 1: But I guess it's not that wild since everybody's talking 164 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:28,400 Speaker 1: about the possibility. Johnny, are you ready to play Who's Better? Draft? 165 00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:33,160 Speaker 1: All right? You mentioned quarterbacks. Now you're mentioning all the 166 00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:36,679 Speaker 1: people have these top picks and all the sexy picks 167 00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:40,559 Speaker 1: and everything. Let's get into some of the unsexy quarterbacks. Okay, 168 00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:43,600 Speaker 1: and I'm not even going to include Kellen Mond in 169 00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:48,199 Speaker 1: this group. Okay, he's now with the top group in sexiness, 170 00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:52,160 Speaker 1: but Kellen Mond is still Hey, he looks pretty good, right, 171 00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:54,520 Speaker 1: I mean, he could be a top top three round 172 00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:58,840 Speaker 1: pick for sure. But let's go deeper, shall we? Who's 173 00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:04,160 Speaker 1: better Johnny, Kyle Trask, Davis Mills? And I'll even throw 174 00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:07,199 Speaker 1: in because I put him in Vandermocks previously, Sam Ellinger 175 00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:10,760 Speaker 1: and Ian book. Who's better? Who? You're taken out of 176 00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:15,199 Speaker 1: that group right there? And it's kind of a lot 177 00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:17,319 Speaker 1: of question in some sense because he said, hey, you've 178 00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:20,000 Speaker 1: got to take one in the third, fourth round. Then 179 00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:22,360 Speaker 1: I focus on Mills and Trask. Now I have Mills 180 00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:27,319 Speaker 1: slightly ahead of Trask, and it's there's not much separating 181 00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:29,719 Speaker 1: the two. I think Mills is probably a little bit 182 00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:32,200 Speaker 1: a better overall athlete, you know, the athlete things we 183 00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:33,920 Speaker 1: talked about. Oh, he can run a little bit faster, 184 00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:36,960 Speaker 1: but I think and both of them throw a pretty ball. 185 00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:39,800 Speaker 1: And Davis Mills was a five star. I think he 186 00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:42,199 Speaker 1: was the top quarterback coming out a few years ago 187 00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:46,000 Speaker 1: out of high school. So he is very talented. Again, 188 00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:48,760 Speaker 1: injuries he played, I think he started eleven games well, 189 00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:52,000 Speaker 1: injuries in COVID. He was going to be the guy 190 00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:54,360 Speaker 1: this year and play full season, and he would have 191 00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:57,079 Speaker 1: gotten twelve games in thirteen combined with but five or 192 00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:59,199 Speaker 1: six stars last year. You know, now he's a season 193 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:01,400 Speaker 1: and a half starter. How you've got another six seven 194 00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:05,319 Speaker 1: starts at least to go on, if not more so, 195 00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:07,120 Speaker 1: I think we would have found out a little bit 196 00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:11,319 Speaker 1: more about Davis Mills. I do think Mills over Trash, 197 00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:13,960 Speaker 1: not by a whole lot, but I would go Mills 198 00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:15,840 Speaker 1: over Trash. Now, can you tell me you can't take 199 00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:20,320 Speaker 1: one until late day three? I'll take Sam Ellinger over 200 00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:24,480 Speaker 1: Ian Book. Okay, all right? Because book does not have 201 00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:27,840 Speaker 1: the running tools and all the athleticism of that Ellinger 202 00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:31,559 Speaker 1: has is that what is Yeah? I mean I think 203 00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:33,720 Speaker 1: there's maybe a little bit something there with Sam Ellinger 204 00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:37,200 Speaker 1: that maybe I can build something. Maybe it's a goal 205 00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:40,040 Speaker 1: line package, maybe it's something the same at the same 206 00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:42,840 Speaker 1: time that he's learning how to play quarterback, right, and 207 00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:44,760 Speaker 1: I don't really need one of them are gonna ever 208 00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:48,080 Speaker 1: throw it exceptionally well. But I thought Sam threw it 209 00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:49,760 Speaker 1: better at the Senior Boil than Ian. I thought he 210 00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:53,640 Speaker 1: threw it better at times throughout his career, even though 211 00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:56,200 Speaker 1: Ian book was pretty darned good in twenty twenty, I 212 00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:58,440 Speaker 1: do think that Sam showed me a little bit thrown. 213 00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:00,880 Speaker 1: Neither one of them just have you know. They're kind 214 00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:03,760 Speaker 1: of I say, week are, but they don't have the 215 00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:05,439 Speaker 1: strongest of arms. So they're gonna be some throws that 216 00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:07,400 Speaker 1: they're not able to make, and that I think it's 217 00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:10,440 Speaker 1: gonna be what holds them back. But you tell me 218 00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:12,960 Speaker 1: six seventh round, seventh round, ish, I could take one 219 00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:17,120 Speaker 1: of those two, I'll take Ellinger. Okay, here is Texans version. 220 00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:21,920 Speaker 1: Who's better. Let's do it second round picks. We have 221 00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,760 Speaker 1: Chester on tonight. He was drafted in the second round, 222 00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:29,280 Speaker 1: So who's better among these second round Houston Texans all 223 00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:36,079 Speaker 1: time picks. Nick Martin b mac connor, Barwin, Dmko, Ryan's Chester. 224 00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:39,600 Speaker 1: That's a bunch of second round picks from various points 225 00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:43,280 Speaker 1: in Texans history. And gosh, as I read that list, 226 00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:45,760 Speaker 1: one name really does stand out above the rest in 227 00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:48,400 Speaker 1: my opinion. But there are some things to consider here, 228 00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:52,120 Speaker 1: so your thoughts, my gut, says Demiko. I means defensive 229 00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:54,160 Speaker 1: rookie of the year. He was the captain, He was 230 00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:57,080 Speaker 1: the soul at defense. But man, I love Jevity for 231 00:11:57,160 --> 00:11:59,840 Speaker 1: Chester though, I mean, Chester was so good on one 232 00:11:59,880 --> 00:12:02,000 Speaker 1: of the best lines. Those would be the two that 233 00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:05,720 Speaker 1: come to mind. B mac was. I don't I hope 234 00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:08,640 Speaker 1: that b mac Oh, Texans fans will remember b maack 235 00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:11,080 Speaker 1: the way that he should be. And I mean, you 236 00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:14,880 Speaker 1: talk about a guy that just left his guts on 237 00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:17,720 Speaker 1: a field at all times, and he was the one 238 00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:20,960 Speaker 1: that everybody answered to. And I will forever say this 239 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:24,080 Speaker 1: about b mack. Whenever the chips were down they had 240 00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:26,920 Speaker 1: a sudden change. B mac was the first one on 241 00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:29,120 Speaker 1: the field and he would be looking at all ten 242 00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:31,440 Speaker 1: guys coming on like in the yacht, and he would 243 00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:34,480 Speaker 1: be just clapping and getting him going and like getting 244 00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:37,040 Speaker 1: that defense in the right mindset on a sudden change. 245 00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:39,400 Speaker 1: I saw that numerous times with him, and I know 246 00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:41,559 Speaker 1: Demiko had that as well, and I think Demiko is 247 00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:43,439 Speaker 1: probably a little bit more advanced as a livebacker. So 248 00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:46,160 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go Demiko Ryans on that one. Okay, cool 249 00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:49,800 Speaker 1: third round picks, Johnny, who's better among these all time 250 00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:52,800 Speaker 1: Texans third round picks? And we're not gonna list all 251 00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:55,400 Speaker 1: of that, but here's a group for you, Eric Winston, 252 00:12:55,880 --> 00:13:02,319 Speaker 1: Steve Slayton, Earl Mitchell, Brandon Brooks, and c. J. Fedorowitz 253 00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:05,280 Speaker 1: who's better? And by the way, while you ponder that, 254 00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:09,520 Speaker 1: at the Houston Sports Awards last night, the Houston SaberCats, 255 00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:12,000 Speaker 1: that's the rugby team, right, they had a table and 256 00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:13,679 Speaker 1: I don't know who the guy, so I apologize for 257 00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:15,160 Speaker 1: not know his name, but he had to have been 258 00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:17,480 Speaker 1: a player, there's no question. And he kind of looked 259 00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:22,720 Speaker 1: like a mini CJ. Fedorowitz and he had scrapes. He 260 00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:26,160 Speaker 1: was wearing shorts and these scrapes on his knee. He 261 00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:28,280 Speaker 1: had like a big gash taken out of his nose, 262 00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:30,360 Speaker 1: and he's kind of a good looking guy, but he 263 00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:32,920 Speaker 1: had all this like damage. And I thought that is 264 00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:36,400 Speaker 1: the best walking advertisement for rugby I've ever seen. I mean, 265 00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:38,720 Speaker 1: that guy's awesome. You know, he looked like he just 266 00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:41,160 Speaker 1: played that afternoon, just showered up and went to the 267 00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:44,800 Speaker 1: Houston Sports Awards. So good luck to them anyway. C 268 00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:47,000 Speaker 1: J Fiedoro. It's too bad he had to retire because 269 00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:48,679 Speaker 1: of the concussion issues. But he was a heck of 270 00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:50,319 Speaker 1: a pick. So who do you got in this group? 271 00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:53,520 Speaker 1: I think I'm gonna sayton of that group, I think 272 00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:56,280 Speaker 1: being on an offensive line. I felt so bad for 273 00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:59,400 Speaker 1: Eric because the come out of Miami probably cost him 274 00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:02,200 Speaker 1: being a first rounder. And you know who knows what 275 00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:05,800 Speaker 1: that that money is back back in those days. But 276 00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:08,920 Speaker 1: that's said, I thought Eric was always solid. I just 277 00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,240 Speaker 1: always liked I felt good with him over at the 278 00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:12,880 Speaker 1: right side to any other and that just felt like 279 00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:16,800 Speaker 1: a really good tackled tandem to have. CJ was so 280 00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:21,920 Speaker 1: good in seventeen. No sorry, sixteen sixteen seventeen hurt, but 281 00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:25,960 Speaker 1: sixteen gosh, I mean, Brock looked him up. I mean, 282 00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:29,840 Speaker 1: big plays in twenty sixteen, CJ. CJ made him. But 283 00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:32,200 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with Winston just for the fact that 284 00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:37,120 Speaker 1: I felt like Eric played consistently better over a stretch 285 00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:40,160 Speaker 1: of time than anybody. Brandon Brooks will come out of 286 00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:43,120 Speaker 1: there is the most decorated, but I think unfortunately the 287 00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:46,120 Speaker 1: decoration was more about what he get in Philadelphia. He 288 00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:49,440 Speaker 1: was good here, but he went to great in Philadelphia. 289 00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:51,520 Speaker 1: So I'm gonna go with Winston on that one. Yeah, 290 00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:54,440 Speaker 1: and Earl Mitchell real solid player, no doubt. He continued 291 00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:58,720 Speaker 1: his career elsewhere. San Francisco. I love Steve Slayton. You 292 00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:01,480 Speaker 1: know that the one year was so wonderful. I mean, 293 00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:04,360 Speaker 1: he is the NFL one hit version, one hit wonder 294 00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:07,920 Speaker 1: version right there. Uh, you know, he's the night Chicago 295 00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:12,400 Speaker 1: died by paper lace. He's safety Dance. What does that 296 00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:16,440 Speaker 1: meant without hats Hobo number five from lou Bega. He 297 00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:19,680 Speaker 1: is he is, There's no question. Now, he might not 298 00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:24,240 Speaker 1: like it that we call him that, but good that 299 00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:26,400 Speaker 1: year he was so good. He let the AFC and 300 00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:28,920 Speaker 1: yards from scrimmage. I mean, you know, he led all 301 00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:31,120 Speaker 1: there's nothing he can do, There's nothing he can do. 302 00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:34,239 Speaker 1: Ian he ended up getting a neck issue and you know, injuries, 303 00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:36,720 Speaker 1: you know, kurtailed his career. But in two thousand and 304 00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:38,640 Speaker 1: eight he had so many great members. He came on 305 00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:42,560 Speaker 1: the air with Seawan and I every like third Monday, 306 00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:44,440 Speaker 1: and I'll never forget. It was after I think the 307 00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:48,160 Speaker 1: Cleveland game. He came in for the last hour and 308 00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:49,760 Speaker 1: I just saw him coming to booth. We were all 309 00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:52,920 Speaker 1: excited to see him, and all of a sudden, he 310 00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:56,000 Speaker 1: just like we get to a break like slates how 311 00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:57,640 Speaker 1: you feel, and he goes, this is the first time 312 00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:00,240 Speaker 1: I got in a bed all day. And that's what 313 00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:04,560 Speaker 1: I really truly understood what an NFL running back goes 314 00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:07,760 Speaker 1: through in a game when they carried eighteen to twenty times, 315 00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:10,960 Speaker 1: not even not even carrying it thirty times, like you know, 316 00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:13,320 Speaker 1: got Derrick Henry m Dude. That's what I really got 317 00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:16,960 Speaker 1: it because I just he looked miserable and it was 318 00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:18,840 Speaker 1: it was awful. I hated seeing him like that, but 319 00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:21,600 Speaker 1: that's when I really understood, Okay, this is brutal, man. 320 00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:24,640 Speaker 1: You add five or six catches or whatever on to that, 321 00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:27,560 Speaker 1: and it's all those car accidents and it has a 322 00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:31,200 Speaker 1: cumulative effect, no doubt. Okay, let's go to the fourth round. Here, 323 00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:35,040 Speaker 1: who's better Texans Draft Edition fourth round picks all time? 324 00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:37,760 Speaker 1: These aren't all of them, but here are some of them. 325 00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:41,560 Speaker 1: Kiki Qt Julian and Davidport. I don't know why I 326 00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:46,760 Speaker 1: put him in there, Ben Jones, Glover Quinn and I 327 00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:50,520 Speaker 1: can't even read my own writing here Owen Daniels and 328 00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:56,920 Speaker 1: Dominic Davis now known as Dominic Williams. So who's better, Johnny, 329 00:16:56,920 --> 00:17:00,280 Speaker 1: who do you have a fourth round pick history. I'm 330 00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:02,360 Speaker 1: trying to think in the way to explain this one, 331 00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:09,400 Speaker 1: but it's almost like fireworks because Dominic Dominic Williams, Dominic Davis, 332 00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:14,800 Speaker 1: Dominic Williams. His blast was so boom, but it lasted 333 00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:17,720 Speaker 1: for that long three years going Daniels may not have 334 00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:21,359 Speaker 1: been that loud, but it had the you know, the 335 00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:24,600 Speaker 1: you know, the sprinkling lights that would fall afterwards. There 336 00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:28,320 Speaker 1: was just there was more. There was probably less bang 337 00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:31,240 Speaker 1: for a lot more bucking for longer, so I would 338 00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:35,560 Speaker 1: go O d But if I'm going short term, just bang, 339 00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:38,120 Speaker 1: it's Dominic. There's no doubt. I mean it was phenomenal. 340 00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,960 Speaker 1: He was for three years. He was a thousand yards there. 341 00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:45,760 Speaker 1: It is so good. And that little dump off over 342 00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:49,119 Speaker 1: the middle by David Card to Dominic Davis Williams was 343 00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:52,359 Speaker 1: real money making for the Houston Texans for a while. 344 00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:55,840 Speaker 1: And you know, we begged for that in some of 345 00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:59,080 Speaker 1: these offenses, and we were finally getting it, I think 346 00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:02,480 Speaker 1: last couple of years here, finally throwing it short to 347 00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:04,320 Speaker 1: the back every once in a while, and that can 348 00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:06,560 Speaker 1: turn into big yardage. I can turn into fifteen yards, 349 00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:08,840 Speaker 1: sometimes more, sometimes just the first down. But you'll take 350 00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:12,159 Speaker 1: that every time. Glover Quinn clearly it was pretty good. 351 00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:14,960 Speaker 1: You're starting at corner then moving to safety. But they 352 00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:17,320 Speaker 1: moved on from him. You know, I'd love to talk 353 00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:19,080 Speaker 1: to Rick Smith about that one. See is that one 354 00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:21,960 Speaker 1: you'd want back? You know, signed Glover as the free agent. 355 00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:24,840 Speaker 1: You let him go to Detroit. Obviously Ed Reid was 356 00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:27,680 Speaker 1: you know, that didn't work, so you know Ed Reid 357 00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:30,119 Speaker 1: was almost Basselli like Ed Reid was kind of like 358 00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:33,879 Speaker 1: Bisselli and a Mon Green had a transaction, baby, and 359 00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:36,840 Speaker 1: that's what came out, you know what I mean. I mean, 360 00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:39,520 Speaker 1: the best way to put it. That is probably the 361 00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:41,480 Speaker 1: best way to put it. You may never say anything 362 00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:44,040 Speaker 1: better than you just say. People talk about a Mon 363 00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:46,360 Speaker 1: Green like like he was bad when he got here. 364 00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:49,320 Speaker 1: Look when he got here, he wasn't good. But a 365 00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:51,879 Speaker 1: mong Green was a fourth time pro bowler and should 366 00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:53,760 Speaker 1: have could have would have been pretty good here. You know, 367 00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:57,600 Speaker 1: it just obviously didn't work out injury wise. And Basselli, 368 00:18:57,640 --> 00:18:59,280 Speaker 1: we all know the story there. In fact, I'm gonna 369 00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:02,920 Speaker 1: ask Chester this. So there he is as a rookie, 370 00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:07,760 Speaker 1: and with Tony, you're thinking, well, you know where am 371 00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:09,360 Speaker 1: I going to play on this line? You know? Am 372 00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:11,080 Speaker 1: I gonna play at all? Am I gonna be able 373 00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:13,880 Speaker 1: to watch and learn from Tony Basseldi and Ryan Young 374 00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:17,000 Speaker 1: and sort of wait my turn and just get to 375 00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:18,920 Speaker 1: know the offense of a whole lot better. No, Chester, 376 00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:22,439 Speaker 1: you're starting opening night of franchise history, and you're starting 377 00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:24,679 Speaker 1: left tackle, by the way, the most important position. And 378 00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:29,119 Speaker 1: Jimmy Herndon, and God bless him, he's probably listening right 379 00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:32,280 Speaker 1: down his way home. Jimmy Herndon starts at right tackle 380 00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:34,840 Speaker 1: that night. I mean that's like that's the ultimate trivia 381 00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:37,280 Speaker 1: question answer right there. Who started a right tackle opening 382 00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:41,199 Speaker 1: night for the Houston Texans? Anyway? So bent Ben Jones 383 00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:45,600 Speaker 1: kind of like Brandon Brooks, Right, those are some really 384 00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:50,040 Speaker 1: good fourth round picks. Yeah, really good. Wow, But you know, 385 00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:52,399 Speaker 1: obviously you didn't resign Ben Jones. You have that now. 386 00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:55,400 Speaker 1: I didn't give you a fifth rounder, But why don't 387 00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:57,960 Speaker 1: we do it just for giggles on the fly? Who's better? 388 00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:00,680 Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you some fifth rounders Charles A. Meadow 389 00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:05,960 Speaker 1: a couple of years ago. Let's hang on. I want 390 00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:09,040 Speaker 1: to get boy. The fifth round is tough, isn't it. 391 00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:12,639 Speaker 1: I'm looking through these fifth rounders, Randy sixteen, go to 392 00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:16,080 Speaker 1: twenty sixteen and go to your fifth rounder. I'll go 393 00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:19,240 Speaker 1: to my fifth rounder in twitter, DJ Reader, I wait, 394 00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:23,040 Speaker 1: all right, hold that name. I hold that name. Uh, 395 00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:25,600 Speaker 1: I'll go to t J. Yates, also a fifth rounder 396 00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:28,520 Speaker 1: in twenty eleven. This is gonna be more difficult for 397 00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:32,960 Speaker 1: for you than you thought. Uh, James Casey, Frank Okam, 398 00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:38,399 Speaker 1: never mind. I like Frank, but you know Brandon Harrison No, Uh, 399 00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:43,480 Speaker 1: Drew Hodg Like Drew, but he's not gonna win this 400 00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:50,480 Speaker 1: gun test today. Jared Baxter fullback? Baby all right? DJ Reader, 401 00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:53,919 Speaker 1: thank you, DJ? But what about TJ as Yeah? TJ 402 00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:57,080 Speaker 1: listen did you ever think when DJ was drafted in 403 00:20:57,119 --> 00:21:01,680 Speaker 1: twenty eleven, I'm like, that's great, but he's never gonna play. 404 00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:03,800 Speaker 1: He's never gonna play. And then as a rookie he 405 00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:06,840 Speaker 1: steps in and it's so funny. I don't know if 406 00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:10,640 Speaker 1: I've ever told this, but I was not a big 407 00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:13,040 Speaker 1: fan of his in two thousand and nine in North Carolina. 408 00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:15,680 Speaker 1: I just like, uh. Then two thousand and ten, North 409 00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:17,840 Speaker 1: Carolina was due to have a really good team and 410 00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:20,119 Speaker 1: they had Marvin Austin, Robert Quinn and a few others 411 00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:24,000 Speaker 1: and they all got suspended for some deal down in Miami. 412 00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:25,880 Speaker 1: So I remember the first game of the year two 413 00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:28,840 Speaker 1: thousand and ten, North Carolina's got to play LSU and 414 00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:31,560 Speaker 1: t J. Yates is just he's doing stuff like he 415 00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:34,640 Speaker 1: did against Cincinnati twenty eleven. His socks are all askew. 416 00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:36,600 Speaker 1: He scrambled for yards at the end of the game 417 00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:38,560 Speaker 1: and he actually had them in position to maybe win 418 00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:42,000 Speaker 1: the game. And I remember thinking, godly, he's really improved. 419 00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:45,359 Speaker 1: He is a totally different quarterback in twenty ten, and 420 00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:47,160 Speaker 1: that's when he kind of changed my mind, Like, Okay, 421 00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:49,600 Speaker 1: you know, this guy's got something. And when the drafted him, 422 00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:53,240 Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, but it's DJ Reader. DJ Reader 423 00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:56,760 Speaker 1: was completely dominant against the run, and in his absence, 424 00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:59,520 Speaker 1: I think we saw how dominant he actually was. Right 425 00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:02,800 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty when he was not there, and it 426 00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:04,920 Speaker 1: was Unfortunately we didn'tet a chance to seem with Cincinnati, 427 00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:07,680 Speaker 1: and hopefully he'll get back healthy. But for his sake, 428 00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:11,160 Speaker 1: but he was he was a mount. Everybody loved that guy. 429 00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:13,440 Speaker 1: Everybody that was a heck of a pick. I got 430 00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:15,919 Speaker 1: one more. Who's better for you? This is not a 431 00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:19,840 Speaker 1: draft edition question? This is college football edition because they've 432 00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:23,879 Speaker 1: discussed expanding the playoff, So who's better? What's better the 433 00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:29,520 Speaker 1: four team current format, eight team, sixteen team or throwing 434 00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:31,920 Speaker 1: a six with buys? If you want what do you 435 00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:36,560 Speaker 1: want to see? Johnny? I would go I like twelve. 436 00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:42,640 Speaker 1: So the first four get buys. Yeah, first four get byes. 437 00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:44,560 Speaker 1: I think there's got to be some sort of reward 438 00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:49,480 Speaker 1: built in, and when FCS does it in a normal situation, 439 00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:51,439 Speaker 1: that's what happens. They have twenty four. I think in 440 00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:53,719 Speaker 1: the first aid, I think get buys. I think that's 441 00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:55,680 Speaker 1: way it goes. I can't remember for sure, but anyways 442 00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:58,480 Speaker 1: that I like having the buys in there because there's 443 00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:02,240 Speaker 1: something there for the teams have truly excelled, So I 444 00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:05,520 Speaker 1: like having to buy in there as an incentive. So 445 00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:08,720 Speaker 1: I like twelve. I even like six because I want 446 00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:10,679 Speaker 1: those teams to have a buy. That's why I like 447 00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:13,400 Speaker 1: the way that the NFL has it with seven. Now 448 00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:15,040 Speaker 1: at least one team gets a buy. I like it 449 00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:16,879 Speaker 1: better when two got to buy. But I like it 450 00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:22,720 Speaker 1: with one because somebody's getting rewarded for being exceptional, and 451 00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:24,720 Speaker 1: I think that's the way the way it should be 452 00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:29,600 Speaker 1: that they get rewarded for something. So six or twelve 453 00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:32,200 Speaker 1: I'm okay with because that gives teams, That gives teams 454 00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:35,800 Speaker 1: buyas home sites inevitable if you go to three weeks 455 00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:37,960 Speaker 1: or more, fine with that. Heck, yeah, play for the 456 00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:41,120 Speaker 1: first round. Yeah, first round. If you play those all 457 00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:43,440 Speaker 1: on home sites. Even if you do the second round 458 00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:46,760 Speaker 1: where the teams with buys get to play at their place, Oh, 459 00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:49,640 Speaker 1: that would be awesome because then you get down at 460 00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:52,520 Speaker 1: that point that I'll take you from twelve to eight, 461 00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:55,240 Speaker 1: eight to four. So those two rounds are taking place 462 00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:57,919 Speaker 1: on campus and then you're down to four, and now 463 00:23:57,960 --> 00:23:59,680 Speaker 1: you do the playoffs the way that you've you've been 464 00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:01,720 Speaker 1: doing and you still have the balls. Because I know 465 00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:03,920 Speaker 1: people say, well, what's the point, Look the ball. People 466 00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:07,879 Speaker 1: will watch this stuff. I'll watch it. He absolutely. I 467 00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:09,760 Speaker 1: watched the n I T. So don't talk to me 468 00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:13,359 Speaker 1: about it, Johnny, thanks so much. All right, Mark, thank you. 469 00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:16,240 Speaker 1: All right? Coming off, Chester Pitts, Let's talk to him 470 00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:19,199 Speaker 1: the day he signs a one day deal with the 471 00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:23,200 Speaker 1: Texans ceremonially to retire as a Texan, getting ready to 472 00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:26,879 Speaker 1: ship off to the draft this weekend.

You know, I am not a football player. 537 00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:00,920 Speaker 1: I'm just a big, handsome guy who happened to play football. 538 00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:04,280 Speaker 1: There is a difference.

You're more than a 547 00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:32,760 Speaker 1: football player. You've been an actor, You've been a talk 548 00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:36,600 Speaker 1: show host, guest on a national platform. But I did 549 00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:39,960 Speaker 1: an article recently, and I did it because I wanted 550 00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:42,840 Speaker 1: to Aaron Rodgers was hosting Jeopardy and I wanted to 551 00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:45,280 Speaker 1: talk about Texans who have done things outside the box 552 00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:48,560 Speaker 1: in entertainment and Watt and you JJ Watt and you 553 00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:51,680 Speaker 1: have done the most of anybody with the Texans Arian 554 00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:55,080 Speaker 1: had Hawaii five oh and a couple of But tell 555 00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:57,800 Speaker 1: me about some of the experiences and how that all 556 00:28:57,840 --> 00:28:59,760 Speaker 1: got rolling for you because he had the Super Bowl 557 00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:02,840 Speaker 1: at all appearances, the amazing race of all of that. 558 00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:07,920 Speaker 1: So so I have we look here, my buddy Efim 559 00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:10,440 Speaker 1: and I when I say we missed the window, you know, 560 00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:13,760 Speaker 1: we missed the social media window by five years. It's 561 00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:16,600 Speaker 1: it's just crazy. I mean that the NFL Super Ad 562 00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:19,320 Speaker 1: is really where it all started. And and just going 563 00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:22,200 Speaker 1: from you know, a local level, a local NFL starter 564 00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:26,360 Speaker 1: to full on national it was we were the number 565 00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:29,320 Speaker 1: one ad in the Super Bowl. I mean, let's just 566 00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:31,800 Speaker 1: be real. So what they did for us and and 567 00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:34,680 Speaker 1: then and then everybody used our bites. We were on 568 00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:37,080 Speaker 1: Howard Stern, he was using everybody. Howard Stern talked about 569 00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:39,560 Speaker 1: me for seventeen minutes on his show the next day 570 00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:41,640 Speaker 1: because he talked about how great of a guy that 571 00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:45,160 Speaker 1: I was. Um, and then you roll that into uh 572 00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:48,880 Speaker 1: we did amazing race. UM. Obviously working you know, we're 573 00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:52,560 Speaker 1: working on TV at at NBC and CBS was crazy. 574 00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:56,400 Speaker 1: We were the first offensive lineman ever on the best 575 00:29:56,480 --> 00:30:00,400 Speaker 1: damn Shorts, the best damned sports show period. That's it. 576 00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:02,800 Speaker 1: That's the sportial period. We were the first. So I 577 00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:05,640 Speaker 1: mean just just all the opportunities that we got to do, 578 00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:09,360 Speaker 1: going to get my MBA, all of those things laid 579 00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:12,600 Speaker 1: in and tied in, and it was just absolutely awesome. 580 00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:14,640 Speaker 1: I mean, like you said, you know, being able to 581 00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:16,800 Speaker 1: do some acting kids, and do you know I still 582 00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:19,000 Speaker 1: get a couple of residual checks ever now and again. 583 00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:21,600 Speaker 1: They're like thirteen bucks and twenty eight bucks. But I 584 00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:23,320 Speaker 1: don't turn down checks from they show up at my 585 00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:25,600 Speaker 1: front door. But that's why actors and everybody wants to 586 00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:28,120 Speaker 1: get the syndication because that's where the real money is. 587 00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:32,280 Speaker 1: Money come forever. So it's just it's been awesome. It's 588 00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:36,120 Speaker 1: been a wonderful experience I have. I have nothing behind 589 00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:38,560 Speaker 1: me to regret. I wish I would have won more games, 590 00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:40,280 Speaker 1: or I wish I got to play in the super Bowl. 591 00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:43,800 Speaker 1: But but in real life, I mean, just the beautiful 592 00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:47,840 Speaker 1: life that I've had thus far. I just I don't 593 00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:51,160 Speaker 1: think I could have even dreamed or imagine just being 594 00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:54,120 Speaker 1: where I am right now and accomplishing what I've accomplished 595 00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:56,520 Speaker 1: us far, you know, thus far, And shoot, I said 596 00:30:56,560 --> 00:30:59,120 Speaker 1: that I got another forty years, maybe even fifty years. 597 00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:01,240 Speaker 1: Lord willing to live. So I mean, I can't. I 598 00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:02,720 Speaker 1: can't wait to see what else is out there for 599 00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:05,080 Speaker 1: me to accomplish. But I just keep plugging away. I 600 00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:08,920 Speaker 1: just keep going to work and keeping my offensive. My 601 00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:12,040 Speaker 1: offensive line and mentality will always put you in a 602 00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:14,200 Speaker 1: great spot. I do not care about the notoriety. I 603 00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:16,520 Speaker 1: do not care about standing out in the crowd. I 604 00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:18,200 Speaker 1: just care about doing the right thing and doing the 605 00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:21,360 Speaker 1: right thing for the people that I love. Well, a 606 00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:23,480 Speaker 1: lot of people know your story. Maybe a lot of 607 00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:26,760 Speaker 1: people don't though, because we always have new listeners and viewers. 608 00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:30,960 Speaker 1: So tell us Chester, because I from claims he discovered 609 00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:34,200 Speaker 1: you at the grocery store in San Diego. But then again, 610 00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:38,280 Speaker 1: Kyle Turley does too, so which is it? What happened? 611 00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:42,240 Speaker 1: First of all, am I am I oil am my gold. 612 00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:46,120 Speaker 1: We discovered me? Kill me when they use that verbase 613 00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:49,200 Speaker 1: you every single time, but the two of them battle 614 00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:52,560 Speaker 1: over it because they were together at the same time 615 00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:54,800 Speaker 1: at the store. So one just wants to one up 616 00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:56,560 Speaker 1: and take credit of each other. You gotta remember if 617 00:31:56,560 --> 00:32:00,520 Speaker 1: From and Kyle were opposite in tackles at San Diego 618 00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:04,040 Speaker 1: State four four years together the entire time, so them 619 00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:06,400 Speaker 1: competing against each other and who had you know, who 620 00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:08,880 Speaker 1: gave up the most sacks and everything. That was always 621 00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:12,480 Speaker 1: a battle that they always had between each other. But ultimately, yes, 622 00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:15,280 Speaker 1: I was a big old kid, you know, pushing carts 623 00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:18,120 Speaker 1: at the grocery store and two guys that played ball 624 00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:22,000 Speaker 1: for San Diego State. Well I really initiated the conversation, 625 00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:24,920 Speaker 1: but ultimately I sold them on the ability and the 626 00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:27,360 Speaker 1: fact that they saw me pushing in like, you know, 627 00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:29,760 Speaker 1: like thirty carts at one time. Remember back in the 628 00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:32,440 Speaker 1: day before they had the little robots and they had 629 00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:35,720 Speaker 1: big motors to push them in. It was human power 630 00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:37,360 Speaker 1: to get all the cards back in place for all 631 00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:40,880 Speaker 1: the customers that want to go grocery shopping. But I mean, 632 00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:43,560 Speaker 1: long story short, they put in a word for me. 633 00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:47,680 Speaker 1: I ended up walking on at San Diego State. Started 634 00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:52,320 Speaker 1: for two years, and I performed really well at the combine. 635 00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:54,920 Speaker 1: So all of that kind of felling, you know, fell 636 00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:57,800 Speaker 1: into a row, and then I impressed the coaches. You know, 637 00:32:57,920 --> 00:33:00,880 Speaker 1: you know, Coach Palmer, Remember Coach Palmer. Press Coach Palmer. 638 00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:03,480 Speaker 1: When he came out to San Diego State. He would 639 00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:05,480 Speaker 1: draw up the plays and then he would flip the 640 00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:08,840 Speaker 1: formation and change the defense, and I could still block 641 00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:11,720 Speaker 1: every single assignment. And he was like, Okay, his kids 642 00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:14,080 Speaker 1: got a head on his shoulders, you know, and he's 643 00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:16,160 Speaker 1: got some feet in talent. He's just raw. He just 644 00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:18,720 Speaker 1: needs to be taught. And look at that. I went 645 00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:23,280 Speaker 1: from best case a fifth or sixth rounder to getting 646 00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:26,200 Speaker 1: drafted in the second round by a new franchise at 647 00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:29,840 Speaker 1: Houston Texans. And it's it's just been an honor ever since. 648 00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:32,480 Speaker 1: And I just I truly appreciate it, and I'm just 649 00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:38,000 Speaker 1: so mean. I'm so excited right now. It's crazy. Back then, 650 00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:41,240 Speaker 1: the draft was Saturday Sunday, first three rounds on Saturday. 651 00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:44,520 Speaker 1: So what was Saturday like for you? As here we 652 00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:47,239 Speaker 1: are in draft week, what was the experience like for 653 00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:50,960 Speaker 1: you anticipating when you might get picked? Well, that was 654 00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:53,440 Speaker 1: the thing is leading up to the draft, I was 655 00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:55,040 Speaker 1: gonna be. I was a second day guy. There was 656 00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:57,000 Speaker 1: no question about it. I was a second day guy, 657 00:33:57,040 --> 00:33:59,840 Speaker 1: and we were just hoping to be early second day 658 00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:03,000 Speaker 1: but two days before the draft, my agent started to 659 00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:04,840 Speaker 1: hear a little bit of buzz about me, and they, 660 00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:06,640 Speaker 1: you know, the numbers and everybody, why this. I mean, 661 00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:08,640 Speaker 1: the kid can play. He you know, he's got some 662 00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:10,680 Speaker 1: real gifts and talents. And did you see him move? 663 00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:16,080 Speaker 1: So I hoped, But you know, you go through that 664 00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:18,040 Speaker 1: first round, and you know, the first round is so 665 00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:21,120 Speaker 1: long when you haven't been called. So the first round 666 00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:24,000 Speaker 1: was forever, and you know, the second round was kind 667 00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:27,400 Speaker 1: of dragging along. And I had gotten to the point 668 00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:31,120 Speaker 1: where the pick before the pick before our pick was 669 00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:34,080 Speaker 1: the forty nine pick, and that was the San Diego Chargers. 670 00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:36,839 Speaker 1: So in my mind, I'm thinking to myself, if I'm 671 00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:40,000 Speaker 1: gonna go in the second round, it's gonna be the 672 00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:41,960 Speaker 1: team that has seen the most of it, because you know, 673 00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:45,000 Speaker 1: the Chargers, they come to practice several times, come to games, 674 00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:47,440 Speaker 1: I mean, because it's local, it's right there. And then 675 00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:49,239 Speaker 1: when they did not call my name and they called 676 00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:53,359 Speaker 1: Ritche Carwell's name, I was like, well, all right, let's 677 00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:56,239 Speaker 1: go outside and have some fun. And then and then 678 00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:59,000 Speaker 1: the phone rang, and the house went still and quiet, 679 00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:02,280 Speaker 1: and my mom's dreaming, how to Mikey pick up the phone, Mikey, 680 00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:04,600 Speaker 1: get the phone, you know. I grabbed the phone and 681 00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:08,400 Speaker 1: and and it was the Texans in there. Are you healthy? 682 00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:09,880 Speaker 1: Are you? Are you ready to go? And you know 683 00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:13,480 Speaker 1: you're ready to be at Houston Texans. Hell, yes everything, 684 00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:16,399 Speaker 1: you just asked me and and they made the pick 685 00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:19,000 Speaker 1: and it came across the bottom with a TV and 686 00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:21,920 Speaker 1: it was it was. It ended up being real, and 687 00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:24,319 Speaker 1: I did not expect it to be real, and a 688 00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:28,360 Speaker 1: family when crazy everybody was hooting holler and so just 689 00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:31,359 Speaker 1: the memories that it it jogs and all this brings back. 690 00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:34,319 Speaker 1: It's just it's kind of overwhelming. But I really love 691 00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:37,200 Speaker 1: and I enjoy all of it. All right, related to 692 00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:41,600 Speaker 1: your first training camp, Chester, and here we are, You're 693 00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:45,239 Speaker 1: about to start opening day, and I imagine heading into camp, 694 00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:46,719 Speaker 1: you weren't quite sure how it was all going to 695 00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:50,360 Speaker 1: work out, because maybe Tony Bisselli plays, maybe he doesn't yet. 696 00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:53,319 Speaker 1: I was fully expecting Tony Bisselli to play, and I 697 00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:56,080 Speaker 1: was gonna learn from a guy's a heck of alignment 698 00:35:56,080 --> 00:35:57,919 Speaker 1: that's got a chance to get into the Hall of Fame. 699 00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:00,520 Speaker 1: I had no plas, There was no thought in my 700 00:36:00,560 --> 00:36:02,319 Speaker 1: mind that I was going to be a starter on 701 00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:05,239 Speaker 1: open day, being a you know, a drafted guy from 702 00:36:05,239 --> 00:36:06,960 Speaker 1: San Diego. Said, I wasn't from the you know, big 703 00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:09,839 Speaker 1: program like Miami or you know, the big school. So 704 00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:13,080 Speaker 1: just when it happened, and get out there and go play. 705 00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:16,000 Speaker 1: And coach just told me said when in doubt, go fight, 706 00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:19,839 Speaker 1: and and those are the words that that that just 707 00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:21,839 Speaker 1: resonated with me, because there were times when you're not 708 00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:25,040 Speaker 1: sure and you don't know. He said, just man, pick 709 00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:27,000 Speaker 1: the guy you think it's a right guy, and just 710 00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:28,799 Speaker 1: go try to whoop him. And if you do that, 711 00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:31,200 Speaker 1: we got a chance. And that was what I would 712 00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:34,160 Speaker 1: defunct to sometimes when when I wasn't quite sure early on, 713 00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:36,360 Speaker 1: I just picked the guy out normally go block, and 714 00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:38,080 Speaker 1: I said, let me just go get him, get out 715 00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:39,440 Speaker 1: there and get my hands on them and fight him 716 00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:41,120 Speaker 1: and just make sure my guy didn't make the tackle 717 00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:43,279 Speaker 1: on him. I do that. I deal with blocking the 718 00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:47,640 Speaker 1: wrong guy later, but at least I whooped them. What 719 00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:51,200 Speaker 1: what advice would you have now for young Chester then, 720 00:36:51,360 --> 00:36:54,080 Speaker 1: Not that you're not young anymore, Chester, You're still young, 721 00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:57,520 Speaker 1: but you were younger, so younger Chester getting the league. 722 00:36:57,560 --> 00:37:00,160 Speaker 1: What would you tell him right now? Oh? You r 723 00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:05,920 Speaker 1: Chester coming into the league, because it seems like very well, 724 00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:08,400 Speaker 1: what's that? Well, but you can always you can always 725 00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:10,200 Speaker 1: do things better, always do things better. And then one 726 00:37:10,239 --> 00:37:13,600 Speaker 1: thing I would say to my younger self is there's 727 00:37:13,640 --> 00:37:19,400 Speaker 1: a reason you have one mouth in two ears. Listen, 728 00:37:19,719 --> 00:37:24,280 Speaker 1: listen more, absorb information more, and even if you do think, 729 00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:27,280 Speaker 1: even if you do think that you're smarter than somebody else, 730 00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:31,719 Speaker 1: still take in the information, disseminate the information, and make 731 00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:35,600 Speaker 1: the most up. Chester. It's always fun to visit with you. 732 00:37:35,719 --> 00:37:39,359 Speaker 1: Congratulations on the one day and best of luck at 733 00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:42,839 Speaker 1: the draft.

And we also have great 765 00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:19,839 Speaker 1: games to play on the app on Houston Texans dot com. 766 00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:22,799 Speaker 1: You can participate, So check it all out Texans App, 767 00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:25,919 Speaker 1: Houston Texans dot Com, all the coverage all draft long. 768 00:39:26,480 --> 00:39:29,520 Speaker 1: The Houston Sports Awards were last night, and this is 769 00:39:29,520 --> 00:39:33,600 Speaker 1: an organization that honored our founder Bob McNair last year. 770 00:39:33,719 --> 00:39:36,439 Speaker 1: They gave him the Lifetime Achievement Award and of course 771 00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:39,520 Speaker 1: the McNair family bringing pro football back to Houston and 772 00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:43,160 Speaker 1: O two Andre Johnson inducted last night into the Houston 773 00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:46,399 Speaker 1: Sports Hall of Fame. I saw Gary Kubiak last night, 774 00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:49,280 Speaker 1: talked to him about retirement. I don't think he's done. 775 00:39:49,360 --> 00:39:51,960 Speaker 1: I don't think he's done, but he's definitely on the 776 00:39:52,040 --> 00:39:55,720 Speaker 1: sideline right now. You just know that mine's always working, 777 00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:59,840 Speaker 1: he's thinking about things. He wasn't specific, but I just 778 00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:02,359 Speaker 1: had that feeling. Drew Doherty got that fielding too, after 779 00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:04,480 Speaker 1: we had a recent visit with him at his ranch, 780 00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:08,840 Speaker 1: his ranch property and talked about some moments in Texans 781 00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:13,440 Speaker 1: history to get his reaction, you know, video documentary type stuff. 782 00:40:13,480 --> 00:40:15,200 Speaker 1: That's what that shoot was about. But anyway, it was 783 00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:17,440 Speaker 1: great to see him last night. And I don't want 784 00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:20,040 Speaker 1: to miss anybody, but I saw Matt Shob last night. 785 00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:22,560 Speaker 1: I know he was on the air on Friday. In fact, 786 00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:25,840 Speaker 1: I forgot to bring this up with Johnny because Shob 787 00:40:25,880 --> 00:40:29,560 Speaker 1: was asked, had he not gone down in twenty eleven 788 00:40:29,600 --> 00:40:32,040 Speaker 1: he was injured week ten, had he not been hurt, 789 00:40:32,440 --> 00:40:34,640 Speaker 1: would he won the Super Bowl? Would the Texans have 790 00:40:34,719 --> 00:40:36,760 Speaker 1: won the Super Bowl? And he said one thousand percent, 791 00:40:37,120 --> 00:40:40,680 Speaker 1: which I know he was not criticizing t J Yates 792 00:40:40,960 --> 00:40:42,759 Speaker 1: when he said that job. Would be the first to 793 00:40:42,760 --> 00:40:44,759 Speaker 1: tell you Yeats did a remarkable job as a rookie 794 00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:47,120 Speaker 1: being thrown into the fire like that. Hey, it's gonna 795 00:40:47,120 --> 00:40:49,280 Speaker 1: be Matt Lyner at the rest of the way. Liner, 796 00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:53,040 Speaker 1: It's got this, no problem. The funniest meme I saw 797 00:40:53,040 --> 00:40:56,279 Speaker 1: at the time, and look, Liner didn't put this out. 798 00:40:56,320 --> 00:40:58,920 Speaker 1: People put this out, but it was funny. Was Liner 799 00:40:59,160 --> 00:41:01,319 Speaker 1: one of those hot tub pictures, you know, where he's 800 00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:06,800 Speaker 1: got all the women around him and the caption was Houston. 801 00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:09,440 Speaker 1: I got this. That was after Shob went down. It 802 00:41:09,440 --> 00:41:11,840 Speaker 1: was pretty funny, but it wasn't so funny when he 803 00:41:11,840 --> 00:41:13,560 Speaker 1: got hurt. In less than a half of football and 804 00:41:13,640 --> 00:41:15,200 Speaker 1: Yates had to come in. But Yates did a great 805 00:41:15,280 --> 00:41:18,680 Speaker 1: job Anyway, I do agree with Shob that their chances 806 00:41:19,080 --> 00:41:22,439 Speaker 1: were probably better that year than they were the following year. 807 00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:25,160 Speaker 1: Why because Brian Cushing was still there and he was 808 00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:28,640 Speaker 1: having a tremendous twenty eleven season. Did not go to 809 00:41:28,680 --> 00:41:31,359 Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl that campaign because he missed it in ten. 810 00:41:31,680 --> 00:41:33,880 Speaker 1: Remember he sat out the first four games of twenty 811 00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:35,880 Speaker 1: and ten. But in twenty eleven he had a Pro 812 00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:38,319 Speaker 1: Bowl caliber season. But he gets injured in Week five 813 00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:41,040 Speaker 1: of twenty twelve. Now the defense is still good after 814 00:41:41,080 --> 00:41:43,680 Speaker 1: he leaves, but it's not as good. It's not as 815 00:41:43,719 --> 00:41:46,319 Speaker 1: good as it was when he was in there. And 816 00:41:46,360 --> 00:41:49,080 Speaker 1: toward the end of the year, they were playing linebackers 817 00:41:49,120 --> 00:41:51,440 Speaker 1: that they had to sign a street free agents people 818 00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:54,440 Speaker 1: like that, and it just wasn't the same in that 819 00:41:54,560 --> 00:41:56,560 Speaker 1: middle of the defense. And I think it would have 820 00:41:56,600 --> 00:41:57,800 Speaker 1: been a whole lot better. I know it would have 821 00:41:57,840 --> 00:41:59,720 Speaker 1: been a whole lot better with Cushing in twenty twelve. 822 00:41:59,760 --> 00:42:03,279 Speaker 1: Down a stretch, a stop here or there, and you're 823 00:42:03,280 --> 00:42:06,960 Speaker 1: looking at possibilities of home field advantage throughout the playoffs, 824 00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:10,200 Speaker 1: and imagine what would have happened. Then Chester was there 825 00:42:10,280 --> 00:42:12,440 Speaker 1: last night. We just caught up with him earlier in 826 00:42:12,440 --> 00:42:16,319 Speaker 1: the show. Saw Kylie Wong, saw Kevin Walter. Some of 827 00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:19,320 Speaker 1: the New Texans or current Texans rather as Whitney, Merciless 828 00:42:19,480 --> 00:42:21,200 Speaker 1: and Justin Reid were there. So it was great to 829 00:42:21,239 --> 00:42:23,400 Speaker 1: see all those guys. And shout out to Patti Smith 830 00:42:23,400 --> 00:42:26,239 Speaker 1: and the Harris County Houston Sports Authority for an outstanding 831 00:42:26,280 --> 00:42:30,480 Speaker 1: awards show, as we really had a tremendous night. Jim 832 00:42:30,560 --> 00:42:34,200 Speaker 1: Nance got the Lifetime Achievement Award Houston Texans season ticket 833 00:42:34,280 --> 00:42:38,840 Speaker 1: member and he gave a rousing speech. And nobody fires 834 00:42:38,840 --> 00:42:40,879 Speaker 1: you up about Houston more than Jim Nance. I mean, 835 00:42:40,880 --> 00:42:43,160 Speaker 1: maybe some other people do, but he fires me up 836 00:42:43,160 --> 00:42:46,680 Speaker 1: about Houston. And it flashed back to me last night. 837 00:42:47,480 --> 00:42:50,400 Speaker 1: I meant to tell him about this. But super Bowl 838 00:42:50,440 --> 00:42:53,160 Speaker 1: thirty eight, the Super Bowl after the YODE three season, 839 00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:56,919 Speaker 1: Nance had that thirty eight Legends of Houston Sports Night 840 00:42:57,239 --> 00:43:01,280 Speaker 1: to kick off Super Bowl Week Monday night of game week, 841 00:43:01,800 --> 00:43:04,880 Speaker 1: and the list was endless. It was Pastorini and Andre 842 00:43:04,960 --> 00:43:06,880 Speaker 1: Ware and Mary lou Retton and it goes on and 843 00:43:06,920 --> 00:43:09,840 Speaker 1: on and on of the thirty eight Houston Sports legends 844 00:43:10,160 --> 00:43:13,840 Speaker 1: and Nance just loves this city. That came through strong 845 00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:15,600 Speaker 1: last night. You're going to see that event on TV 846 00:43:15,719 --> 00:43:18,600 Speaker 1: soon enough. I think they're televising it this weekend and 847 00:43:18,640 --> 00:43:21,480 Speaker 1: you'll see it several times on AT and T sports 848 00:43:21,480 --> 00:43:24,320 Speaker 1: Net I suppose coming up soon anyway. That's gonna do 849 00:43:24,360 --> 00:43:27,160 Speaker 1: it for the show tonight. Thanks so much for listening everyone, 850 00:43:27,680 --> 00:43:30,360 Speaker 1: Thank you Eddie for producing.
