1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:00,679
Speaker 1: Happy Monday.

2
00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:04,240
Speaker 2: Everybody, Welcome into Texans All Access from the Hounday Texans

3
00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:09,240
Speaker 2: Radio studio. I'll silent report John Harris here alongside the

4
00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:10,880
Speaker 2: voice of the Texans.

5
00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:12,639
Speaker 1: Mark Van remarks, good to see you. I haven't seen

6
00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:13,960
Speaker 1: you for a few days. Hi, Johnny.

7
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:16,880
Speaker 3: It's been weird because we went to the Combine together.

8
00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:21,680
Speaker 3: I came back early for the Wednesday ceremony opening the

9
00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:22,759
Speaker 3: uh not opening.

10
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:23,560
Speaker 1: I wish it was opening.

11
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:25,560
Speaker 3: Wish it was opening right now the new facility for

12
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:30,080
Speaker 3: the Houston Texans at Bridgeland. And then more Combine content.

13
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:32,720
Speaker 3: You stayed behind, interviewed more guys. That was awesome, and

14
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:34,560
Speaker 3: we finished out the week with all that content we

15
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:37,560
Speaker 3: have more. So, Yeah, this has been a busy week.

16
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:40,320
Speaker 3: And then Nick got cooking. Yes, you know what I

17
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:43,920
Speaker 3: call this did the undercard? This is undercard week? You

18
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 3: think this is the undercard? This is the undercard because

19
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:47,919
Speaker 3: think about that strong undercard.

20
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:48,559
Speaker 1: It is strong.

21
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:50,880
Speaker 3: I don't know how else to define it, though, sometimes

22
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 3: the undercard is better than the actual main event, right,

23
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 3: but how else do you define it? Because free agency

24
00:00:57,320 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 3: legal tamp ring starts Monday.

25
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 1: And remember Rember, Nick.

26
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 3: Said, either on our air waves and I think it

27
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:04,880
Speaker 3: was or he was on with McAfee said the same

28
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:08,760
Speaker 3: thing or something. He said it to one or the other,

29
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:11,320
Speaker 3: but he said it's already started.

30
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:14,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, what's the combine hit? It was on.

31
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 3: You know GM's talking. People have conversations. Things come up,

32
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,560
Speaker 3: especially with your own players, you know, and you want

33
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 3: to know if you can get them back or not,

34
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 3: what their expectations are.

35
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:27,039
Speaker 1: And that's why we had what we had today.

36
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:29,399
Speaker 3: We're not why, but one of the reasons why we

37
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:32,119
Speaker 3: had what we had today, which is multiple moves by

38
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 3: the Texans before lunch hit, we had a feast of

39
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:38,199
Speaker 3: Texans information and breaking news.

40
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:38,760
Speaker 1: We did.

41
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:45,679
Speaker 2: So let's go in chronological order in the timeframe in

42
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 2: which we saw these things happen. Oh please, yes, first

43
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 2: one happened. Texas have traded Titus. Now wait, you back up.

44
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 2: All that we're talking about does not become official until

45
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 2: the start of the new league year next Wednesday. Keep

46
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 2: that in mind, right, Okay, this is stuff that's going

47
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 2: to happen, right, but the Texans will on that day

48
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 2: make it official trade Titus Howard to the Cleveland Browns. Now,

49
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 2: the Cleveland Browns have five starting free agents on their

50
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:25,960
Speaker 2: offensive line crazy Nobody and Joe Potonio. It sounds like

51
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 2: we'll retire Wyatt Teller is available. I know it's a name.

52
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:31,960
Speaker 2: A lot of Texans fans have hit me up with, Hey,

53
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 2: what do.

54
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 1: You think of why Teller?

55
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:36,080
Speaker 2: I don't think it would be a bad thing, But

56
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 2: Titus Howard gonna go to the Cleveland Browns. And then

57
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:41,920
Speaker 2: we found out a short time afterwards he also signed

58
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:46,240
Speaker 2: a three year extension for additional money with the Cleveland Browns.

59
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:50,960
Speaker 2: And that's when it crystallized from me. Oh okay, when

60
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:54,359
Speaker 2: I saw the money, I went, that makes a.

61
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 3: Lot of sense. It's great for Titus to make that

62
00:02:57,560 --> 00:02:58,799
Speaker 3: money for him.

63
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 1: Your thoughts about all right? My thoughts are I'm.

64
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:04,640
Speaker 3: Not surprised because they have big bills to pay and

65
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 3: they want to make the investment in a way that

66
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 3: they deem his best for them in the next two

67
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 3: three years. That's it, and this is not one of

68
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:14,519
Speaker 3: those ways because they have other issues on the O line.

69
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 3: Let's just say Titus had a contract for the next

70
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:20,080
Speaker 3: ten years that really team friendly money. Whatever the case was,

71
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 3: you still weren't going to feel great about where you

72
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:24,520
Speaker 3: were on the O line and you had to go

73
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 3: out and spend in free agency and or trade and

74
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:32,080
Speaker 3: or draft guys. Probably a combination of everything here that

75
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 3: I'm mentioning and Titus what is he Johnny? Is he

76
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 3: a guard? Is he a tackle? Is he left guard?

77
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 3: Is he right guard? He's probably right tackle. In addition

78
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 3: to those possibilities on the interior, what I'm saying is

79
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 3: he never really found a home with the Houston Texans,

80
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 3: and we thank him for a service because he held

81
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 3: it down in all three spots from time to time.

82
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 3: He never got to the Pro Bowl level you wanted

83
00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 3: him to get to when you drafted him in the

84
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 3: first round of twenty nine nineteen. But Johnny, the media,

85
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 3: I stay with my teeth clenched. Not everybody you warned

86
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 3: me that this was coming, Not everybody you want me

87
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 3: to sing.

88
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 1: And I get it. I get it.

89
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 3: They're trading away in out of their offensive line. And

90
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 3: they did this just last year. Yeah, we did it

91
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 3: last year. The Texans did it last year.

92
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 1: What happened?

93
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 3: The line played better, Go look it up. They played

94
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:27,719
Speaker 3: better statistically, they were better. Now, it wasn't great, but

95
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 3: it was a little bit better. Right, And then they

96
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 3: did it again, right, and they Also, by the way,

97
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:35,360
Speaker 3: last year won nine games in a row, make it

98
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 3: ten with the playoff win, and in that playoff win

99
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 3: they ran for one hundred and sixty yards.

100
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 1: So I'm not saying they were the finished product. They weren't.

101
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:44,719
Speaker 3: They need to do more. We all know it, we

102
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 3: all see it. And everything they did last offseason. Not

103
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 3: everything worked, but they drafted ursery that seemed to work

104
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 3: pretty well.

105
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 1: We'll see where it goes from here.

106
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 3: But the bottom line here is you cannot complain about

107
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 3: the offensive line and then complain when they try to

108
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,479
Speaker 3: fix it again. All right, they're trying to do more

109
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 3: to fix it. They're trying to make it better. What

110
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 3: do you want them to do? Do nothing? What are

111
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 3: you gonna say? Then they're doing nothing? Right right right?

112
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:13,360
Speaker 3: You gotta do something. They're not done yet. They are

113
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 3: not satisfied with what they did. Maya copa. They a copa.

114
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 3: They know it that they're not as good as they

115
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 3: want to be. They feel like they should have gone

116
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 3: to the Super Bowl. Whatever they feel, but let them cook.

117
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 3: This is like going into the kitchen. The cook is

118
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 3: starting the meal and they put some oil in the

119
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 3: pan and you're like, oh my gosh, there's oil in

120
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:38,159
Speaker 3: the pan. It's all wrong. It's all wrong. They seasoned

121
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 3: the cast iron skillet. Oh my gosh, I don't like it.

122
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:44,600
Speaker 3: You haven't even seen the meat yet. You haven't even

123
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:47,480
Speaker 3: seen what they're preparing yet. I get it. We're all

124
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:51,040
Speaker 3: gonna comment in real time, but let them do their thing.

125
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:54,039
Speaker 1: I know. I like Titus too. We we love talking

126
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:54,719
Speaker 1: to Titus.

127
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 3: I think a lot of people have feelings about Titus

128
00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 3: because he's good with the media.

129
00:05:58,080 --> 00:05:59,479
Speaker 1: You know, he's a good guy to talk to. He

130
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:01,160
Speaker 1: really is. It's interesting you say that.

131
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:03,800
Speaker 3: I love the tightest story the former quarterback all I

132
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 3: love it.

133
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 1: But they got to get better, and this is what

134
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 1: they're doing. Look, will they do it right? I don't know.

135
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 1: We'll all watch together in twenty six. Will it be better.

136
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 3: Maybe it'll only be incrementally better. Maybe it'll be a

137
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 3: lot better. Maybe it'll be worse. I don't know. But

138
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:22,039
Speaker 3: they're gonna try something else here. They got more work

139
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 3: to do. Next week, one week from tonight, it could

140
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 3: be completely different than it is right now.

141
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 2: I completely, one hundred percent agree with you, and we

142
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:38,279
Speaker 2: can go through different situations. I remember in twenty twenty

143
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 2: four when Saquon went to Philly and Derrick Henry went

144
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 2: to the Ravens and Josh Jacobs and are going to

145
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 2: the packers, and everybody in their.

146
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:52,480
Speaker 1: Collective was freaking that, you know what, total disaster.

147
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:56,040
Speaker 2: And I was like, look, man, relax, Yeah, you don't

148
00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 2: solve everything on day one, and what you do on

149
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 2: day three you made it deal for Joe Mixing.

150
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 1: Now, Joe had a tremendous twenty twenty four.

151
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:06,360
Speaker 2: Unfortunately Joe got hurt and I and I understand where

152
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:08,360
Speaker 2: a lot of people are like, well, that's why you'll freeze.

153
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 1: So you make trades. You don't.

154
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 2: You don't trade for a twenty nine year old running

155
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:15,679
Speaker 2: back what you're like, start because how is Bigley's twenty

156
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 2: twenty five right? You're living theoretically, guys are gonna get

157
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 2: banged up.

158
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 1: It happens, happened, It happens. So it's a freak thing.

159
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 2: To my point, and yet beyond it kind of emphasizes

160
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 2: what you're trying to say. I know what fans will

161
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 2: say and I can't really and and some media will

162
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 2: say this, and I can't faultimate in a sense because

163
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 2: they will say, but how long is it gonna take

164
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:50,679
Speaker 2: how come it's been year after year we haven't put

165
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 2: this thing together to have a good offensive line.

166
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 1: And what I would say that to people.

167
00:07:57,040 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 2: Is no offense, But all right, go ahead, you do

168
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 2: it well because I guarantee you want to come up

169
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 2: with a whole lot better. Because in the end, I

170
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 2: know a lot of people will say, well, Nick struggle.

171
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 1: To Kenny Green. How many teams would have taken Kenny

172
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 1: Green to that spot.

173
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:14,679
Speaker 3: I know a number of them would have or close

174
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 3: enough to it, right, And everybody have him as a

175
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 3: first round talent somewhere in the first round min maybe late.

176
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 1: It was a collective first round talent, right.

177
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 3: And then it's not working out and it happens. Yeah,

178
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 3: that's another thing. It's you and I were talking about

179
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 3: this off the air, the GM coach who made that pick,

180
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:35,319
Speaker 3: the Buffalo Bills situation. You know, it's always convenient. I

181
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 3: wouldn't have made that pick. They wanted the guy, so

182
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 3: I took him, all right, But who would you have

183
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 3: taken and how many other teams would have taken that

184
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:44,320
Speaker 3: guy at least within a few packs.

185
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:45,560
Speaker 1: You don't tell me who you would have taken.

186
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:48,319
Speaker 2: Five years down road, Bill polling, Tell me who you

187
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 2: would have taken right there on the spot when that happened.

188
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:55,319
Speaker 2: So look, and so I can understand the frustration. I

189
00:08:56,880 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 2: think we're all frustrated at the fact that we've taken

190
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:03,679
Speaker 2: rips at it and it just hasn't come to fruition.

191
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 2: But it doesn't mean you stow your hands up and

192
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 2: go what average. Just what we got is what we got. No,

193
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:11,200
Speaker 2: you've got free you've got free agent dollars to spend.

194
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:14,360
Speaker 2: You've got a defense. And I bring up the defense

195
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:17,319
Speaker 2: because the defense will keep you in any ballgame possible.

196
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 2: And you don't have to spend a ton of money

197
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:21,520
Speaker 2: on the defense. You might have to fix a window here,

198
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 2: you might have to fix, you know, a shower head there,

199
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:26,559
Speaker 2: but you don't have to renovate a whole entire kitchen

200
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 2: over there. You're good over there. So let's use those

201
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 2: dollars on your offensive side. You have ways to change

202
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 2: some things. And and and I think one of the

203
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 2: things that has become I want to make sure I

204
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:43,840
Speaker 2: say this right because I don't want to take away

205
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 2: from Titus, because I think Titus played hard. I think

206
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 2: Titus did a lot for this team because of his versatility, yes,

207
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:56,319
Speaker 2: a lot. And and and I think that Titus was

208
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 2: rewarded with that with a second contract, and he played

209
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:03,560
Speaker 2: at times, well, I don't know that he ever played

210
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 2: at the level they expected to. And I feel like

211
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:10,600
Speaker 2: they're looking at it going, well, you know what, if

212
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:14,360
Speaker 2: we're going to renovate, let's just blow it up.

213
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 1: Take it down to the studs. I e.

214
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 2: We've got one stud that we think can be a

215
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 2: stud and that's Arion's Airstree. And let's build around it

216
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 2: with the guys that we think fit our swarm culture

217
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 2: to a tee. And when they went out and they

218
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:34,880
Speaker 2: got if you look at the guys that they brought

219
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:37,680
Speaker 2: in last year or even the last couple of years

220
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 2: in the draft, and Jew Scruggs will talk about him

221
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:46,960
Speaker 2: in a second Blake Fisher, Trent Brown, cam Robinson Lake

222
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 2: and Tomlinson, Andrews, Jake Andrews.

223
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 1: They don't say ditty squat. They are not.

224
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:58,679
Speaker 2: They are offensive linemen into the truest sense. Now, are

225
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 2: they really really good football play? We hope that they're

226
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:03,040
Speaker 2: going to be at some point. A couple of them

227
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:07,360
Speaker 2: proved not at this point in their careers. But there

228
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 2: is a specific thing they are looking for with their

229
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 2: offensive line and they haven't found it across the board

230
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:15,680
Speaker 2: yet and.

231
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 3: They're still working on it. They exactly what other choice

232
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 3: do you have? So you throw all that on top

233
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 3: of the fact that as you sit there Sunday at

234
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:28,000
Speaker 3: home and you're watching the combine and you're like stud

235
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 3: stud stud stud stud.

236
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 1: Stud on the O line. I mean it was loaded.

237
00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:37,679
Speaker 2: Now it should be because there were a lot of offensive

238
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 2: linemen and other position players that decided not not testing,

239
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:45,319
Speaker 2: not doing it. They knew they weren't going to test

240
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:47,960
Speaker 2: for whatever reason. At the level that the guys that

241
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:51,360
Speaker 2: were gonna test, there were some shows put on. Now,

242
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:55,199
Speaker 2: does that hurt the Texans in a sense that maybe

243
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 2: there is more clamoring for these offensive linemen for twenty

244
00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 2: eight Conic last year, Oh we'll get great Donovan Jackson

245
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:03,679
Speaker 2: or Tyler Booker, one of them will follow to us

246
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:08,400
Speaker 2: at twenty five. And nope, because yes, offensive linemen are valued,

247
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 2: but Texans have twenty eight, thirty eight, fifty nine, sixty nine.

248
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 2: They have those four picks, and we'll get to the

249
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:18,840
Speaker 2: rest of it a second. Those four picks. You can

250
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 2: go get two of those studs and start with them.

251
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:25,440
Speaker 3: And that's after free agency, after free agent and whatever

252
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 3: trade they might make.

253
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 2: So what happens if they spend dollars and get a

254
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:31,800
Speaker 2: rock solid free agent, they then spend two of those

255
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 2: top four picks and they put them on offensive linemen

256
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 2: instead of a running back. We'll get to that in second. Now,

257
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, maybe you've got another rock solid

258
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:44,560
Speaker 2: three starters coming in to go with Ariante, and you

259
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:46,480
Speaker 2: can figure out who that fifth is in some way,

260
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 2: shape or form.

261
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 3: The way they coached it last year, the way they

262
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:52,000
Speaker 3: played and they improved. When I say they were better,

263
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:55,320
Speaker 3: you look at sack percentage, interception percentage, the passing game

264
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 3: with the O live. They didn't have a running back

265
00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 3: like Joe Mixon last year. So the year they were

266
00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:02,720
Speaker 3: able to run the ball in big pops with Joe Mixon.

267
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 3: But we all saw what happened with pass pressure in

268
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 3: twenty twenty four, right, and that was with Laramie playing right,

269
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:11,840
Speaker 3: and so it was it was a rough go and

270
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 3: it wasn't Laramie's fault. It was just the line wasn't

271
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:16,840
Speaker 3: good enough and they had to change the whole culture.

272
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:17,400
Speaker 1: That's what we have.

273
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:19,600
Speaker 3: Cole Popovich that's why we are where we are. But

274
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:22,640
Speaker 3: we all knew this too, with what they did last year.

275
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:25,640
Speaker 3: We looked at it and said, they're probably not going

276
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:28,480
Speaker 3: to put together the Electric Company here in year one.

277
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:32,400
Speaker 1: This are too data A reference sports dated. I don't

278
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:32,840
Speaker 1: get that one.

279
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:36,800
Speaker 3: That's OJ Simpson's offensive line in Buffalo in the seventies, right,

280
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:37,720
Speaker 3: I mean, Oj was.

281
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 1: A great back. It was called the Electric Company because

282
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 1: they turned on the juice. Yeah that was what Yeah,

283
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:44,720
Speaker 1: that's what it was. But I'm glad you brought that up.

284
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:47,040
Speaker 3: Is really good and I really shouldn't have referenced OJ,

285
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 3: I guess, but it happens because he was a good

286
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 3: football player, among other things.

287
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:53,480
Speaker 1: So let's get back to reality here.

288
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:55,959
Speaker 3: And we all knew that it wasn't gonna be the

289
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:58,199
Speaker 3: finished product, probably correct that you were going to have

290
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 3: more work to do this offseas well. As it turns

291
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:04,520
Speaker 3: out you're changing it out even more than we thought.

292
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 3: I thought Titus would be here somehow, because you don't

293
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 3: want to have to replace everybody in my mind, but

294
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:14,200
Speaker 3: clearly in their minds, we need to replace more than

295
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:16,560
Speaker 3: we But as soon as I saw three for sixty three,

296
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 3: I understood exactly how three year, sixty three million, and

297
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:21,600
Speaker 3: so he'll get from the Browns.

298
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 1: As soon as I saw that Mark, I was like,

299
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:24,480
Speaker 1: I knew exactly what he.

300
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:28,440
Speaker 3: Wanted a deal, and it's time right, and this team's

301
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:31,840
Speaker 3: got big bills to pay next year. Kamari and Kiln

302
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:34,520
Speaker 3: are going into year four. We all know what that means.

303
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 3: When you're on a four year contract. They deserve contracts.

304
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 3: You're gonna have to make decisions on those guys, and

305
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:43,200
Speaker 3: I don't want to think about how hard that's gonna be.

306
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:45,840
Speaker 1: So they have to do a lot of financial planning.

307
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:49,120
Speaker 3: Nick Cassio's got to get the spreadsheet out, do a

308
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 3: lot of financial planning for twenty seven, twenty eight, that

309
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 3: kind of thing.

310
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:54,600
Speaker 1: But you want to be really good in twenty six.

311
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 1: This is how they feel like they can do it.

312
00:14:56,880 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 3: Not extend Titus at those dollars, because correct, is he

313
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:02,360
Speaker 3: a left guard? Is he a right tackle? What is

314
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:05,240
Speaker 3: He's versatile? He's great, but that's not gonna fit with

315
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 3: what we want to do here.

316
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 1: So he got work to do.

317
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:11,080
Speaker 3: I'm not saying it's all gonna be roses and sunshine

318
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:14,200
Speaker 3: and rainbows, and no, you have to figure this out

319
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 3: and give them a minute here. We just got started.

320
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:22,800
Speaker 3: It's not even legal tampering yet. Let's not freak out yet.

321
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:25,000
Speaker 3: I'll tell you what it's time to freak out. Okay,

322
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 3: week three, that's when it's time to freak out. And

323
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 3: I said the same thing last year.

324
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 1: And you know what Week three was. We freaked out,

325
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 1: We freaked out, freaked out, we freaked out. Week three

326
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:36,320
Speaker 1: I was, is this gonna happen? We're too great for this.

327
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:40,360
Speaker 3: And then you went to the Ravens after beating the Titans,

328
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:42,160
Speaker 3: you went to the Ravens and it was like, okay,

329
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:43,960
Speaker 3: a little better, and then they started to play a

330
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:46,440
Speaker 3: little bit better. And you know, one night in a row, right,

331
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:50,040
Speaker 3: you won twelve games, right, you just didn't play well

332
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:53,440
Speaker 3: against the Patriots, darn it. So right now that could

333
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:55,960
Speaker 3: happen with the best line in Texans history, by the way,

334
00:15:56,320 --> 00:16:00,440
Speaker 3: which it did, yeah twice, where you didn't play well

335
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:02,280
Speaker 3: in the divisional round, you had the best line in

336
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:06,320
Speaker 3: Texans history. You had the equivalent of a Hall of

337
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:10,640
Speaker 3: Fame quarterback perhaps playing offensive line for you. Right, those

338
00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:14,200
Speaker 3: five guys, the way they operated together was all right,

339
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:15,880
Speaker 3: Hall of Fames A lot to put on those guys.

340
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 3: But as a line, as a unit, right, I mean

341
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 3: that whole line. You want to talk about Ring of Honor,

342
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:23,640
Speaker 3: You could probably put that line in the Ring of Honor.

343
00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 1: Yep, it's that good a line. It was that good,

344
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:27,040
Speaker 1: you know.

345
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 3: And Winston was changed out for why am I forgetting

346
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:33,560
Speaker 3: his name right? Derek Newton. Winston was changed. Somebody pointed

347
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:35,160
Speaker 3: this out to me today, said, have they had a

348
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:36,840
Speaker 3: good line since Eric Winston left?

349
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 1: I'm like yes.

350
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:40,120
Speaker 3: In twenty twelve they won twelve games and Derek Newton

351
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:44,640
Speaker 3: playing right tackle. They've won seven divisions since then. Let's

352
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:46,040
Speaker 3: all calm down a little bit.

353
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 2: So in twenty twenty four, Chicago Bears offensive line was dreadful, Yeah, dreadful.

354
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:56,400
Speaker 2: Man Darnel Right, a first rounder that they had a

355
00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:59,520
Speaker 2: right tackle and he struggled in the first couple of years.

356
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:03,360
Speaker 2: But last offseason they made a trade with the Rams

357
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:07,639
Speaker 2: for Jonah Jackson to becoming at guard. Then they traded

358
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:10,280
Speaker 2: for Joe Toney, who won the Protector of the Year

359
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:14,400
Speaker 2: award in the NFL. Then they signed Drew Dallman unrestricted

360
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:18,080
Speaker 2: free agent to play center. They kind of had a

361
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:20,160
Speaker 2: little bit of a rotating cast of characters who left

362
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:22,360
Speaker 2: tackle and it was gonna be Asie Trapilo from out

363
00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:24,440
Speaker 2: of Boston College who had a really good year but

364
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:26,120
Speaker 2: he got hurt badly at the end of the year.

365
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:29,800
Speaker 2: So okay, but up to that point he had played well,

366
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:32,480
Speaker 2: they'd played well. They reset that thing in one year,

367
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 2: and I feel like that's kind of what kind of

368
00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 2: it is. What the Texans need to be able to

369
00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 2: do is to reset that thing really in one year,

370
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:44,159
Speaker 2: but it's gonna feel like two years because he got

371
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:46,280
Speaker 2: ursery last year and now you got to get the

372
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:49,080
Speaker 2: other pieces this year. Hopefully Jake Andrews could be that

373
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:51,160
Speaker 2: guy at center in his second year as a starter here,

374
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 2: and then you can feel like, hey.

375
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:53,920
Speaker 1: We got two of those pieces in twenty five.

376
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:55,800
Speaker 2: Now we got to find the other three and twenty

377
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:58,200
Speaker 2: six and then we can be off in rocket and

378
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:04,880
Speaker 2: they can open whole for one aka Knuckles David Montgomery.

379
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:08,000
Speaker 2: Because the second piece of news is the Texans traded

380
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:11,240
Speaker 2: for the running back that at the combine it was

381
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:14,600
Speaker 2: rumored that he wanted out of Detroit, that Detroit was

382
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:18,440
Speaker 2: looking for a trade. Detroit ends up trading him to

383
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:21,360
Speaker 2: the Texans for a fourth round pick, A seventh round

384
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:25,560
Speaker 2: pick and the aforementioned Juice Scruggs. Juice gets an opportunity

385
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:28,119
Speaker 2: to go to Detroit, going to reset his career. I've

386
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:30,159
Speaker 2: always thought very highly a Juice. I love Juice. I

387
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:33,040
Speaker 2: love Juice the person I love. His family was always cool.

388
00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:35,560
Speaker 2: He just had a kid this past November. I believe

389
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:40,000
Speaker 2: it was and I will cheer for Juice wherever he goes.

390
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:44,040
Speaker 2: The consummate professional, he never bitched or griped about not

391
00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:47,600
Speaker 2: having a spot, getting hurt down the rotto. He's just

392
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:49,760
Speaker 2: a great guy and he gets a shot in Detroit.

393
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 2: Now people have talked about, well did you overpay? Greg

394
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:58,360
Speaker 2: Rose thought a great comment I'm paraphrasing when you saw

395
00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:00,960
Speaker 2: the initial report from Madam Schefter he set a fifth rounder.

396
00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:05,560
Speaker 2: Then the deal was reported later by Diana Russinia. I

397
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:07,239
Speaker 2: think she's the first one I saw it. Others had

398
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 2: it fourth round or seventh rounder. A jew Scruggs that

399
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:14,280
Speaker 2: there was a team that must have jumped in. Benjamin Albright,

400
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 2: who covers the NFL from Denver, knows Lebronco as well,

401
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 2: immediately tweeted Denver and that would make sense because they

402
00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:22,040
Speaker 2: don't have JK Dobbins.

403
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:24,399
Speaker 1: They've been hurting for another running back. Mart You get

404
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:25,720
Speaker 1: him on a friendly deal.

405
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:27,800
Speaker 3: You got him on a really friendly free agents are

406
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:30,280
Speaker 3: going to command a hefty price, big, So you're not

407
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:31,680
Speaker 3: in that derby next week.

408
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:33,960
Speaker 1: You got Montgomery. Let me ask you this.

409
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:36,800
Speaker 3: You're going to war this weekend. You're playing a game

410
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:41,159
Speaker 3: this weekend. You got Montgomery, Woody Marks, Juwar, Jordan and

411
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 3: British Brooks.

412
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:43,760
Speaker 1: I feel good. I feel pretty good about that.

413
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:47,359
Speaker 3: David Montgomery averaged four point five last year, four point

414
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:50,360
Speaker 3: one for his career. He caught twenty four passes last year.

415
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:53,680
Speaker 3: That's the team high for running back receptions for the Texans.

416
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:57,960
Speaker 3: That was Woody Mars with twenty four catches. Now Montgomery

417
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:00,119
Speaker 3: had twenty four catches. I don't have to look. I

418
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:02,719
Speaker 3: know Jamiir Gibbs had a lot more than twenty four catches.

419
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:05,560
Speaker 3: So Montgomery as a reserve of sorts. I know they're

420
00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:08,040
Speaker 3: a complimentary one two punch and he sometimes starts in

421
00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:11,959
Speaker 3: Gibbs and they trade off or whatever. But Montgomery can

422
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:14,280
Speaker 3: catch the ball and he's a he's two hundred and

423
00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:16,879
Speaker 3: thirty pounds. This guy will run through people. Now, you

424
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:18,399
Speaker 3: got to build the line in front of him. We

425
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:20,480
Speaker 3: all know this, but I feel pretty good. I also

426
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:23,879
Speaker 3: think this says no Nick Chubb because that's the Nick

427
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 3: Chubb role, right, And we'll see how they work it

428
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:29,480
Speaker 3: out with he and Marx. But Montgomery's a proven vet

429
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:32,879
Speaker 3: in this league also, Johnny, you know, he fits the

430
00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:34,359
Speaker 3: culture all right.

431
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:35,840
Speaker 1: And look, that's not everybody.

432
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 3: People get sick of hearing that sometimes, but they shouldn't

433
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:41,200
Speaker 3: because it's important to keep everybody together when times get tough.

434
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:44,720
Speaker 3: He won that Brian Piccolough Award twice in Chicago, and

435
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:49,160
Speaker 3: that's sportsmanship, teammate, all of that. The Brian Piccolough Award

436
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:51,360
Speaker 3: is a big deal in the Bears organization. He won

437
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:53,639
Speaker 3: that twice when he was in the Chicago organization.

438
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:54,239
Speaker 1: That's right.

439
00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:57,920
Speaker 2: So there, that's right, and he is. I'm just looking

440
00:20:57,960 --> 00:20:59,600
Speaker 2: at my scouting report. I had him as the third

441
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:02,920
Speaker 2: running back. I don't know what I had in the

442
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:06,000
Speaker 2: draft where he was taking. I think that's where I

443
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:08,240
Speaker 2: had him. I'm making sure that I've had that. Yeah,

444
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:10,239
Speaker 2: And I'm just looking at my right up on him

445
00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:13,919
Speaker 2: and it's it's glowing. As I loved him coming out.

446
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:16,440
Speaker 2: I just thought he would be a really good NFL

447
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:19,199
Speaker 2: running back, and he has been that he's not as

448
00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:21,640
Speaker 2: he has not had as much tread off the tire

449
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:24,840
Speaker 2: the last couple of years because he's been sharing the

450
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:27,040
Speaker 2: carries with Jamir, and then this past year in particular,

451
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:29,679
Speaker 2: Jamir had probably the bulk of those carries.

452
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 1: But you know what this dude did. Look at his touchdowns.

453
00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:35,520
Speaker 1: He scores in Detroit double digits.

454
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:37,080
Speaker 2: I think he was thirteen to twelve and then this

455
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 2: year was eight even with a significantly I noticed you.

456
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 1: I noticed this.

457
00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:44,560
Speaker 3: Somebody in my household has Gibbs on their fantasy team

458
00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:48,879
Speaker 3: and it was like one of those Varsity Blues things

459
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:51,119
Speaker 3: where it's like Gibbs gets you down there inside the ten.

460
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:54,360
Speaker 3: Now Montgomery's coming in to take the touchdown away exactly.

461
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:56,760
Speaker 3: But you know a guy scoring touchdowns in the red zone.

462
00:21:57,240 --> 00:21:58,800
Speaker 1: Sign me up for some of that, please.

463
00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:03,080
Speaker 2: So this, as Mark pointed out, probably takes you out

464
00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:07,080
Speaker 2: of the free agent sweepstakes for Kenneth Walker and Travis Etn.

465
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 2: But you're getting a guy on a really solid running

466
00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:15,639
Speaker 2: back contract that comes in here, provides all kinds of

467
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:20,160
Speaker 2: leadership ability in both pass and run game. He gives

468
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:23,160
Speaker 2: you that swarming nature, He and Woody. You just think

469
00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:25,359
Speaker 2: about those two right now, we talked about you mentioned

470
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:28,160
Speaker 2: George Jordan and British Brooks. I do think a rookie

471
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:31,440
Speaker 2: will be added to that mix. Okay, maybe a that's

472
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:34,680
Speaker 2: a little different from these guys. And so now you

473
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:38,440
Speaker 2: gotta find the offensive line that provides for them. But

474
00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:43,880
Speaker 2: you've got money to spend in free agency. Kate Madge

475
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:46,960
Speaker 2: from Carolina is a guy that strikes me as a

476
00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:49,639
Speaker 2: as a Texan kind of very swarming behavior.

477
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:51,840
Speaker 1: I think he would be up there for dollars.

478
00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:54,480
Speaker 2: Wyatt Teller, he's a little bit older, but I like

479
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:57,360
Speaker 2: the veterans, like what Trent Brown did for them this year.

480
00:22:57,400 --> 00:22:59,439
Speaker 2: I thought what Trent gave them was great. And Whyatt

481
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:03,080
Speaker 2: Taylor's already said goodbye to Cleveland, so why not say

482
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:05,240
Speaker 2: hello to Houston. So they're gonna be There's gonna be

483
00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:09,480
Speaker 2: some activity and as we found out today, there could

484
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:14,439
Speaker 2: be more trades happening now when it comes to the draft,

485
00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:18,480
Speaker 2: nobody knows it well like me. But if somebody else

486
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:21,400
Speaker 2: is gonna qualify my man, Fran Duffy from All Sports

487
00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:24,280
Speaker 2: Philly covers it like no other. He's gonna give us

488
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:26,760
Speaker 2: his thoughts on some of the things that we sought

489
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:28,879
Speaker 2: to combine that you can get excited about, Guys, you

490
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:31,400
Speaker 2: got excited about yesterday watching in the old line room.

491
00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:34,960
Speaker 1: We'll do that next right here on Texans All Access TEPING.

492
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:37,239
Speaker 2: Everybody, welcome back to this Monday EDITI of Texans All

493
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:40,600
Speaker 2: Access from nowday Texans Radio Studio. I'm your host, John Harris,

494
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:42,560
Speaker 2: Football on a sideline reporter.

495
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:45,439
Speaker 1: Interesting day in Texans Land.

496
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:49,119
Speaker 2: Titus Howard traded this morning to Cleveland Browns for a

497
00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:51,720
Speaker 2: fifth rounder. Then the Texans turned around and made a

498
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:55,320
Speaker 2: deal with the Detroit Lions for running back David Montgomery

499
00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:57,680
Speaker 2: for a fourth seventh and Juice Scruggs.

500
00:23:57,720 --> 00:23:58,919
Speaker 1: We talked about Juice earlier.

501
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:01,119
Speaker 2: I love that dude, and I hope he gets a

502
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 2: great shot in Detroit to be a center or guard,

503
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:06,399
Speaker 2: whatever it might be for him and just become the

504
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:08,480
Speaker 2: player that we all thought he was going to be.

505
00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:10,920
Speaker 2: But do it for Detroit. So best luck to Juice

506
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:13,520
Speaker 2: anti Titus as they go out the door. But Demo's

507
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:16,400
Speaker 2: coming in David Mottgomery. Now that might change a little

508
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:19,120
Speaker 2: bit of the draft strategy. Will see when it comes

509
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:22,520
Speaker 2: to draft strategy thoughts, on draft picks. My man Fran

510
00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:25,959
Speaker 2: Duffy from All City Philly. He is their draft expert.

511
00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:28,120
Speaker 2: He does a great job. He's a good friend of mine.

512
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:29,959
Speaker 2: I would bring him on the air finding trust him.

513
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:31,840
Speaker 2: You guys will love him. Here's Fran with me at

514
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:33,240
Speaker 2: the combine talking draft.

515
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:36,840
Speaker 1: All right. I am joined now by one of my favorites,

516
00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:37,880
Speaker 1: one of my good friends.

517
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:40,320
Speaker 2: Look, when you live in this draft community, in some sense,

518
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:43,080
Speaker 2: you get a chance to kind of rub shoulders with guys.

519
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:43,800
Speaker 1: You meet guys.

520
00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:47,120
Speaker 2: This next guest and I got to meet each other

521
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:51,240
Speaker 2: watching the broad joke. It's a combine sow. Fran Duffy

522
00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:55,120
Speaker 2: from All City Philly draft expert, extraordinary.

523
00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:58,240
Speaker 1: That's how we met. We met. We'd kind of seen

524
00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:00,439
Speaker 1: each other, maybe communicated a little bit be the Eagles

525
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:01,040
Speaker 1: for a long time.

526
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:04,760
Speaker 2: But you have been straight draft and you were one

527
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:07,560
Speaker 2: of those people that I respect and enjoy listening to,

528
00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:08,960
Speaker 2: watching reading.

529
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:11,119
Speaker 1: You're the best friend, Duffy. Appreciate you man.

530
00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:13,240
Speaker 4: How you doing John, I appreciate it and the feeling

531
00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:16,000
Speaker 4: is very mutual. I'm doing great, man. I'm excited to

532
00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:17,560
Speaker 4: be here in Indy. It's one of my favorite things

533
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:19,280
Speaker 4: of the year. One of my favorite weeks of the

534
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:22,080
Speaker 4: entire calendar. So it's great to be back and excited

535
00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:23,080
Speaker 4: for the action to get going here.

536
00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:25,080
Speaker 2: Okay, so I give you credit. In fact, I was

537
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:27,160
Speaker 2: just discussing this a little bit earlier on the show.

538
00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:30,199
Speaker 2: I give you a lot of credit because I went

539
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:34,080
Speaker 2: to the Senior Bowl in twenty three and I watched

540
00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:36,400
Speaker 2: a certain receiver from Iowa State, and I was really

541
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:37,280
Speaker 2: excited to see.

542
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:39,600
Speaker 1: Him, and I was like, I just don't see it, man,

543
00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:41,800
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm not a big fan. Came to

544
00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:42,280
Speaker 1: the combine.

545
00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:44,639
Speaker 2: We're sitting there watching the broad jump, and I remember

546
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:48,440
Speaker 2: you said, hey, how do you feel about Xavier Hutchinson?

547
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:51,040
Speaker 2: And I was like eh, And he goes and you

548
00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:54,679
Speaker 2: said take another look. I was like, all right, man,

549
00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:57,520
Speaker 2: Fran knowsball. I'll take another look. And I remember going

550
00:25:57,520 --> 00:25:59,399
Speaker 2: and grabbing a couple of games, went door filling department,

551
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:01,240
Speaker 2: said hey, give me, I was stayed against a couple

552
00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:01,840
Speaker 2: of teams.

553
00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:04,520
Speaker 1: Give me the Texas game. Let me go check it out.

554
00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:05,760
Speaker 1: And he was right.

555
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:09,320
Speaker 2: You were absolutely right about Xavier Hutchinson. He has been

556
00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:10,680
Speaker 2: the perfect fit for this team.

557
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:11,560
Speaker 3: I know.

558
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:13,280
Speaker 1: Maybe you can't look back too too far.

559
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:16,320
Speaker 2: But what do you remember about Xavier Hutchinson that sold

560
00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:19,159
Speaker 2: you on selling me on him being the right fit

561
00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:19,560
Speaker 2: for us.

562
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:22,359
Speaker 4: You know, I think to me it was the competitiveness

563
00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:24,199
Speaker 4: factor that that really stood out.

564
00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:24,399
Speaker 1: You know.

565
00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:27,520
Speaker 4: I think there was the the aspect of him working

566
00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:29,600
Speaker 4: over the middle of the field. You saw the effort

567
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:32,200
Speaker 4: as a blocker. You saw the effort at the catch point,

568
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:34,000
Speaker 4: the urgency at the catch point with the ball in

569
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:37,000
Speaker 4: his hands. He was got to transition quickly from from

570
00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:39,879
Speaker 4: receiver to runner, you know. And that's the thing is

571
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:43,720
Speaker 4: that he wasn't like a overwhelming athlete, right, So it

572
00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:47,600
Speaker 4: was like all right, like six two two three, solid

573
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:48,600
Speaker 4: size across the floor.

574
00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:49,480
Speaker 1: You know.

575
00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:51,280
Speaker 4: He ran in the mid four to five. So I'm like,

576
00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:54,160
Speaker 4: all right, like he's gonna end up dropping. But man

577
00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:56,960
Speaker 4: to me, like just a good football player. Yeah, you know,

578
00:26:57,560 --> 00:26:59,880
Speaker 4: reminiscent in ways of like I'm on Ross Saint Brown

579
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:01,800
Speaker 4: guy who I really liked, Same Brown when he was

580
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:05,040
Speaker 4: a top thirty player for me when he came out. Yeah,

581
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:07,280
Speaker 4: I didn't see him quite to that to that team,

582
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:09,080
Speaker 4: but similar archetype of receiver.

583
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:10,760
Speaker 2: So let me ask you this because I know that

584
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:13,399
Speaker 2: this happens to me during draft weekend, and I know

585
00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:16,720
Speaker 2: that throughout draft weekend you're talking about it. You're you know,

586
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:18,920
Speaker 2: whether it's podcast or doing live radio. I know for me,

587
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:19,919
Speaker 2: I do live radio from the.

588
00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:22,040
Speaker 4: Beginning to the end, YEP, and so I get I

589
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:25,439
Speaker 4: give very visceral just here's my reaction.

590
00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:27,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, A lot of times things happen. I know this

591
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:30,520
Speaker 2: happened with Brevin Jordan. I have Brev as a top

592
00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:33,080
Speaker 2: forty player. He doesn't go to the fifth round, and

593
00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:34,919
Speaker 2: you're in your mind going, okay, well he's still up there.

594
00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:37,280
Speaker 1: What happened? What happened that fans wann't know? Okay? What happened?

595
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:39,360
Speaker 2: For a guy like am On Ra You see him,

596
00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:41,720
Speaker 2: you have him, a pretty high grade on him, and

597
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:43,639
Speaker 2: then you see him go what, I don't know.

598
00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:45,240
Speaker 1: He's famously knows what the number is.

599
00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:48,200
Speaker 2: But like sixteenth receiver in that draft fifteen sixteenth draft,

600
00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:50,440
Speaker 2: I know he's after Nico Collins in the twenty twenty

601
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:52,600
Speaker 2: one draft, and he can recite them chapter and verse.

602
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:55,440
Speaker 2: As you're watching that go on, what's going on in

603
00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:57,359
Speaker 2: your mind? Like, man, did I miss on him? What

604
00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:00,320
Speaker 2: did I miss on him? I'm right, they're wrong? What's

605
00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:02,119
Speaker 2: kind of your feeling is you're watching something like that

606
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:02,560
Speaker 2: on the fold.

607
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:05,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, there are definitely times where it's case by case

608
00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:09,080
Speaker 4: where uh I am expecting it coming in. I know,

609
00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:10,800
Speaker 4: I'm hot, I'm the I know I'm the high man,

610
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:13,679
Speaker 4: like I know. So there are those instances. Then there

611
00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:15,120
Speaker 4: are some where I'm like, all right, this came out

612
00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:17,120
Speaker 4: of left field. That's when the panic sets him. Yeah,

613
00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:20,679
Speaker 4: you know, like, well, look like when Shador fell last year,

614
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:23,520
Speaker 4: yea was not like surprise, you know, it was it

615
00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:26,560
Speaker 4: was shocking, you know. We there was a video that

616
00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:28,840
Speaker 4: we posted that, uh. I mean we kind of like

617
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:31,200
Speaker 4: laugh at it now obviously it's it's crazy. But like

618
00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:35,080
Speaker 4: when Cleveland traded up and we're live on the set

619
00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:37,359
Speaker 4: and Cleveland trades up and they're like, oh is this for?

620
00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:40,560
Speaker 4: And I got I got a text from somebody it

621
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:43,240
Speaker 4: was like it's it's it's not Story's and I was

622
00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:47,040
Speaker 4: like it's Gabriel and everyone is like everyone else sets

623
00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:50,800
Speaker 4: like I'm sitting there and I'm like I've got goosebumps,

624
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:53,640
Speaker 4: thinking like it's this is crazy.

625
00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:56,320
Speaker 1: But it's just like uh oh man, like this is

626
00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:57,080
Speaker 1: this is bad.

627
00:28:57,200 --> 00:28:59,520
Speaker 4: But it wasn't completely out of left field right, and

628
00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:02,760
Speaker 4: so I think that there are times where it's unexpected,

629
00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:04,960
Speaker 4: there are times where you have a little bit of

630
00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:07,400
Speaker 4: an inkling, but you're still because all it takes is one, right,

631
00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:09,400
Speaker 4: and we know how that that's right, that's exactly right.

632
00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:12,360
Speaker 1: All it takes is one. But I have that feeling

633
00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:14,160
Speaker 1: as I'm going through I'm like, man, I was really

634
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:14,880
Speaker 1: high in this guy.

635
00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:17,400
Speaker 4: And you know, I'll talk about those particular players, especially

636
00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:18,440
Speaker 4: as it relates to the Texans.

637
00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:20,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like, John, you were rying this guy. What happened?

638
00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:23,000
Speaker 2: I'm like, I don't know. Yeah, I mean, I'd like

639
00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:24,840
Speaker 2: to be able to tell you. But here is why

640
00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:27,959
Speaker 2: I'm hine guy. But then as time goes on, all

641
00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:29,960
Speaker 2: of a sudden, I'm on ras Is stud and You're like,

642
00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:31,960
Speaker 2: take a look, yep, I had it.

643
00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:33,520
Speaker 1: I had it right here. This is the reasons.

644
00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:37,200
Speaker 2: And look we all miss I've got mine, which which

645
00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:39,640
Speaker 2: I mean my famous one in Houston people know very

646
00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:40,480
Speaker 2: well is Dwayne Brown.

647
00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:43,360
Speaker 1: I missed on Dwayne, and I missed in a very

648
00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:46,120
Speaker 1: very loud and live way.

649
00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:48,800
Speaker 2: Uh, and people saw it and hurt. It's funny because

650
00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:50,120
Speaker 2: over the years, Dwayne and I've got to be good

651
00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:53,120
Speaker 2: good friends. But we always miss that happens as well.

652
00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:55,280
Speaker 2: But there are obviously some makes. So let's talk about

653
00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:59,200
Speaker 2: this draft in particular frame. Yep, I want you, I

654
00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:02,200
Speaker 2: want you to so tell me on a quarterback not

655
00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:04,120
Speaker 2: not for us, but just sell me on a quarterback

656
00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:08,200
Speaker 2: that you think has an NFL future in this draft

657
00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:09,920
Speaker 2: not named for Nana Mendozo.

658
00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:13,760
Speaker 1: Can you do it? Yeah? I can. I'm gonna go.

659
00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:16,600
Speaker 4: I'm gonna go with Garrett nel Smier. Okay, player that

660
00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:18,120
Speaker 4: we saw live down to the senior ball.

661
00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:18,280
Speaker 1: Ye.

662
00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:20,480
Speaker 4: I thought he was the best quarterback in Mobile. He

663
00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:22,000
Speaker 4: was my QB one coming into the year.

664
00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:22,280
Speaker 1: Yep.

665
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:25,240
Speaker 4: And you know the obviously, look the big reservation is

666
00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:26,280
Speaker 4: small sample size.

667
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:27,560
Speaker 1: He ended up.

668
00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:31,160
Speaker 4: He finished his college career with twenty three starts, which

669
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:33,440
Speaker 4: is a low number. It's above that twenty threshold that

670
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:36,440
Speaker 4: everybody points to, but still not a ton of runway

671
00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:39,240
Speaker 4: as an NFL or as a college starter. And when

672
00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:41,360
Speaker 4: I look at Garrett ol Smeier last year, what got

673
00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:44,080
Speaker 4: me excited was, all right, like, this kid's ambitious, he's

674
00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:46,240
Speaker 4: gonna test windows, he's gonna work the middle of the field.

675
00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:50,520
Speaker 4: There's a toughness and a poise aspect to him. I

676
00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:52,200
Speaker 4: think when you look at the football character, all that

677
00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:55,040
Speaker 4: stuff comes back extremely clean. He's he's really really tough,

678
00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:57,520
Speaker 4: you know, all the stuff in like high leverage moments

679
00:30:57,560 --> 00:31:00,040
Speaker 4: to the things that we love about about Fernanda Mendoz So,

680
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:01,720
Speaker 4: I think some of that showed up. He had a

681
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:04,440
Speaker 4: bunch of fourth quarter comebacks last year age twenty twenty four.

682
00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:07,600
Speaker 4: This year, he got the injury, and it's a multifaceted

683
00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:11,440
Speaker 4: injury because it was the core muscle oblique stuff that.

684
00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:12,719
Speaker 1: Cut the season shorty.

685
00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:15,600
Speaker 4: But the thing that is worrying teams is the knee

686
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:17,560
Speaker 4: and that has been like that was a problem in

687
00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:18,160
Speaker 4: training camp.

688
00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:20,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that was tough. It's a lingering thing.

689
00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:23,120
Speaker 4: And so I think that for some coaches and first

690
00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:26,400
Speaker 4: organizations that's going to be a concern, especially for a

691
00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:28,520
Speaker 4: guy who's six' one two, Two, like he's not the

692
00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:31,120
Speaker 4: biggest quarterback that, said like to, me like.

693
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:33,400
Speaker 1: The, intangibles YE i love the.

694
00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:37,840
Speaker 4: Floor he's not an overwhelming physical talent like athletically you,

695
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:40,040
Speaker 4: know arm strength like. Not it's not a horsepower. There.

696
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:42,600
Speaker 4: YEAH i think he'll have a solid week this week

697
00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:44,880
Speaker 4: and he's gonna tell he's gonna look good, interviews but

698
00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:45,640
Speaker 4: the medical is gonna be.

699
00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:46,160
Speaker 1: Big. Yeah.

700
00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:49,640
Speaker 2: Absolutely and the one thing being a coach's, Kid i'm

701

00:31:57,360 --> 00:31:58,960
Speaker 2: the very first day of The Senior bowl can be

707
00:31:59,000 --> 00:31:59,720
Speaker 2: an absolute cluster.

708
00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:00,000
Speaker 1: Blue.

715
00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:13,480
Speaker 2: at The Singer bowl this. Year BUT i felt like

716
00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:16,680
Speaker 2: when Nas meyer was in, charge it felt like everything

717
00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:17,400

Speaker 2: for the way he sets the edge in the.

775
00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:25,960
Speaker 1: Run but, man his first step and his quickness off

776
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:28,280

777
00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:30,840

791
00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:03,719
Speaker 2: the other position WHERE i kind of glossed over a little,

792
00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:05,840
Speaker 2: bit but it is a priority position seemingly for The.

793
00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:08,640
Speaker 2: Texans we don't know exactly what's going On Joe. MIXON

794

802
00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:29,080
Speaker 2: like it's a pipe, dream. YEP i think you're gonna

803
00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:31,480
Speaker 2: have to get him either back into the first round

804
00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:32,799
Speaker 2: but he moved, down or you're take him at twenty.

805

811
00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:48,800
Speaker 4: explosive he's. Tough what he does again against loaded, boxes you,

812
00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:51,840
Speaker 4: know and pass protection he got he gets hurt at

813
00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:54,560
Speaker 4: the end of the college football playoff run in twenty twenty. Four, Right,

814
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:57,400
Speaker 4: okay he's not an effective, runner, right doesn't come off

815
00:35:57,440 --> 00:36:00,520
Speaker 4: the field and instead all you see is him leading

816
00:36:00,560 --> 00:36:02,719
Speaker 4: the way as a lead blocker For Riley leonard AND

817
00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:05,000
Speaker 4: qb run right in the goal. Line, right he's covering

818
00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:07,719
Speaker 4: punts as a starting running back as a. Gunner like

819
00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:11,080
Speaker 4: intangibles for days with that. Kid let me throw a compat,

820
00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:16,719
Speaker 4: You Engineering. Price Felix, jones ooh, interesting who was also

821
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:19,279
Speaker 4: Like robin to somebody Else's. Batman he played With Darren

822
00:36:19,360 --> 00:36:22,120
Speaker 4: fatten At arkansas still lent in the first round in the.

823
00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:26,600
Speaker 4: Twenties WHEN i look at at At Generan, PRICE i

824
00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:27,960
Speaker 4: think he could play a similar kind of role he

825
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:29,560
Speaker 4: had to get end up going latter stage a round.

826
00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:30,680
Speaker 1: One, yeah it's.

827
00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:35,120
Speaker 2: Interesting you know what mine is and it's it's it's

828
00:36:35,239 --> 00:36:38,560
Speaker 2: seemingly different BECAUSE i Think felix shows a home run

829
00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:41,040
Speaker 2: hitting aspect That James connor.

830
00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:41,480
Speaker 1: Didn't.

831
00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:46,359
Speaker 2: Yep But connor was such a good downhill runner at

832
00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:49,040
Speaker 2: a big, say And jerry's that. Big but when you watch, Him,

833
00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:51,400

835
00:36:54,719 --> 00:36:57,200

836
00:36:57,320 --> 00:37:01,200
Speaker 2: he runs bigger than his. SIZE i think he's got From.

837
00:37:01,239 --> 00:37:04,320
Speaker 2: MINNESPIP i like The Felix jones comparison totally because he

838
00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:06,120
Speaker 2: was he was To darren.

839
00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:08,320

841
00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:10,719
Speaker 2: Jones and then in the way that everybody's, talking, well

842
00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:11,880
Speaker 2: we can get him in the second, round now you.

843
00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:15,799

884
00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:45,359
Speaker 4: Question BUT i think when you're looking At Kate Tron,

885

Speaker 2: BACKFIELD i was impressed with, him AND i know when

889
00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:55,480
Speaker 2: you say he plays at different, speed everybody, thinks oh

890
00:38:55,560 --> 00:38:59,120
Speaker 2: he played. Faster, no, no, no he just is able

891
00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:02,320
Speaker 2: to get to the hole and they speed through a

892
00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:04,040
Speaker 2: hole faster than anybody that was.

893
00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:06,320
Speaker 1: There especially at The Senior. BOWL i was really impressed

894
00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:06,879
Speaker 1: with his play.

895
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:09,320
Speaker 2: Speed once he gets into the, secondary all of a,

896
00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:11,520
Speaker 2: sudden second and third level guys are gonna have to

897
00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:14,800
Speaker 2: you want to challenge him physically because he does have that.

898
00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:16,400
Speaker 1: Power HE i was.

899
00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:18,840
Speaker 2: SURPRISED i thought he was gonna be bigger THAN i.

900
00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:20,960
Speaker 2: THOUGHT i stood next to, him was, like, hey he's

901
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:23,280
Speaker 2: not as big AS i. Thought but he's put together

902
00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:26,399
Speaker 2: really well and he runs so physically behind our, pads

903
00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:28,839
Speaker 2: which is something obviously that you know In houston that's

904
00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:30,600
Speaker 2: been you, know become our calling, card you, know the

905
00:39:30,640 --> 00:39:32,360
Speaker 2: whole swarmth. Thing we want to find guys like. That,

906
00:39:32,680 --> 00:39:35,879
Speaker 2: Offensively catron is definitely a guy THAT i would love

907
00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:38,280
Speaker 2: to look. At interior offensive line is always a spot

908
00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:41,920
Speaker 2: tackle is a spot where do you see the relative

909
00:39:42,080 --> 00:39:46,319
Speaker 2: strength of those positions on the offensive, line being, center, guard,

910
00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:48,839
Speaker 2: tackle where's kind of the relative strength in your mind

911
00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:49,120
Speaker 2: of this.

912
00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:51,560
Speaker 4: Draft, YEAH i think that if you want to, tackle

913
00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:53,239
Speaker 4: it's gonna Be if you want to starting, tackle it's

914
00:39:53,239 --> 00:39:53,759
Speaker 4: gonna Be round.

915
00:39:53,760 --> 00:39:55,520
Speaker 1: One, yeah you, know and that's that's most.

916
00:39:55,640 --> 00:39:59,600
Speaker 4: YEARS i think The texans were to, me very lucky

917
00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:02,520
Speaker 4: THAT i really liked last year In Areonta ercury that

918
00:40:02,640 --> 00:40:04,640
Speaker 4: was able to come in that typically is a profile

919
00:40:04,719 --> 00:40:06,640
Speaker 4: THAT i would anticipate to go in round, one and

920
00:40:06,719 --> 00:40:08,919
Speaker 4: it's usually the back end of round, one but those

921
00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:11,000
Speaker 4: guys typically go and they were able to get him

922
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:13,279
Speaker 4: in round, two AND i think it's that's paying early

923
00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:15,920
Speaker 4: dimends for. THEM i view this class the same. WAY

924
00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:17,279
Speaker 4: i think there's a bunch of guys in the back

925
00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:20,320
Speaker 4: end of the first round where whether we're talking, uh you,

926
00:40:20,360 --> 00:40:22,200
Speaker 4: Know Monroe, freeland who HONESTLY i think we're gonna talking

927
00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:23,839
Speaker 4: to him as a top twenty type of player about

928
00:40:23,840 --> 00:40:25,359
Speaker 4: when we leave. HERE i won't even get my heart

929
00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:27,880
Speaker 4: set up EVEN i, think, YEAH i can't even do it.

930
00:40:27,960 --> 00:40:30,160
Speaker 4: NOW i think he's too, Big he's too big and too.

931
00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:32,720
Speaker 4: Athletic you, know only a one year, starter but there's

932
00:40:32,719 --> 00:40:34,680
Speaker 4: a lot to like. There, yeah SO i think now

933
