38
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 3: use the word closure in your press conference and you know,

39
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 3: first of all, congratulations, But what about that part of it,

40
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 3: because you've been waiting for this.

41
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 4: For a while.

42
00:01:54,640 --> 00:02:00,080
Speaker 5: Well, I think you know when you when you do

43
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 5: so much. I think because people always ask me like

44
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 5: when did I know or when did I think I

45
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 5: would be a Hall of Famer? I never really thought

46
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 5: about it until I retired and Chris Carter, me and

47
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 5: him talk for a little while after he came to

48
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 5: the house and he was just like you feel, everybody

49
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 5: feels the same until you get that knock on the door.

50
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:31,639
Speaker 5: So when you get that knock on the door, it

51
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 5: just separate you a little bit. So you're you're in

52
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 5: a fraternity now inside of a fraternity. So it's just

53
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:46,360
Speaker 5: it's a different feeling, man, It's a different it's something

54
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 5: different by having the gold jacket.

55
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 2: Absolutely, Andre.

56
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 1: When you play the game of football, you used to

57
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 1: play sports in generally do anything you know you want

58
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 1: to improve. You go run an extra forty, you do

59
00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:59,119
Speaker 1: more reps in the weight room, you catch your hunter

60
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,639
Speaker 1: passes off the job. But this is one of those

61
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:05,839
Speaker 1: where couldn't do anything. There's nothing more you could do.

62
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 1: Did that make it more frustrating the fact that, hey,

63
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 1: there's nothing I can do. You can't go on this

64
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 1: big pr campaign, you can't do any of this, you

65
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 1: can't do extra reps like you do when you play

66
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 1: the game. Did that make it more frustrating in some

67
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:18,640
Speaker 1: sense that there really was nothing you could do. You

68
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 1: just kind of had to wait and let the group

69
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 1: that committee pick you.

70
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 5: Well, for me, it wasn't frustrating at all because I

71
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 5: had no control over it, right, So it was never frustrating.

72
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 5: I think for me, I always had the mindset I'll

73
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 5: get in. It's just a matter of time. Like I

74
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 5: said earlier, men cal Me, Cale and Hannah and Travis

75
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 5: were at the game the night before I got the

76
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 5: knot and Cal asked me. He was like, do you

77
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 5: think you He was like, you think you got a

78
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 5: shot this year? And I don't know. For some reason,

79
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 5: my gut feeling was like, I think of any years

80
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 5: this year.

81
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 4: You know.

82
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 5: When I looked at the finalists list, I was like, okay,

83
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 5: it's me Regientory hold again. So you looked at like

84
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 5: over the past two years, the guys that were selected,

85
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 5: they hadn't been a receiver. So I was like, at

86
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 5: some point they got to at least select one of us.

87
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 5: So when I when I thought about it, I was like,

88
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 5: you know what, this this might be the year. You know,

89
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 5: if not this year, then maybe next year. But I

90
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 5: knew it was gonna probably take about, you know, three

91
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:43,840
Speaker 5: years or so before it happened.

92
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 3: Andre, a lot of people ask you about your favorite

93
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:48,720
Speaker 3: plays and things like that, and the highlight reels are

94
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 3: all running again for the last several days, and we've

95
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:55,159
Speaker 3: seen the great moments again for me, you getting into

96
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:59,799
Speaker 3: Canton immortalizes that era of Texans football, and your teammates

97
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:03,239
Speaker 3: can share in this because there were so many great

98
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 3: moments and I know you didn't get as many wins

99
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 3: as you wanted and that kind of thing, but there

100
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 3: were some really sweet wins and great moments and now

101
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:11,279
Speaker 3: they live forever in Canton.

102
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:17,040
Speaker 5: Yeah they do. And all the guys are like super excited.

103
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:21,160
Speaker 5: You know, we have a group chat with all the

104
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:29,039

00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:32,920
Speaker 5: I knew for I actually knew for about a week

Speaker 5: and a half before it was announced, so you know

107
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 5: it's so hard to like hold that information in and

108
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 5: not share it with nobody. But I put in the

109

123
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,039

Speaker 5: like Houston is a city that adopted me. And it's

140
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 5: funny because even when I'm like I'm out and I

144
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 5: but you're Houston guy. Yeah, And that's why I say, like,

145
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 5: it's not just about me. And if you see the

146
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:55,720

147
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 5: that was the first thing I said.

148
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 4: I say, we are officially in all the fame.

00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 5: through those tough years with me.

152
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:10,920

00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:22,680
Speaker 4: No? Have you?

192
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 1: Have you thought about what it's going to be like

193
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:26,840
Speaker 1: when you walk into that room that's got all the

194
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:29,840
Speaker 1: busts of all the Hall of famers and then there

195
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:32,199
Speaker 1: you are amongst all them. I've heard somebody saying, I

196
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:34,320
Speaker 1: can't remember who said this, Maybe it's John Mad that

197
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 1: he envisions when the lights go down, it turns into

198
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 1: like a Hall of Fame toy story where they all

199
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 1: like start talking to one another. Have you kind of

200
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:42,839
Speaker 1: thought about that moment of seeing all the different busts

201
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:45,240
Speaker 1: of Ray Lewis, of Ed Reid and then to see

202
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 1: there's yours.

203
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 5: I haven't really thought about it. I'm actually going to

204
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:56,960
Speaker 5: Canton the beginning of March. That'll be my first time going.

205
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:00,160
Speaker 4: You.

206
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:06,000
Speaker 5: I remember John Mann saying that that he believes that the.

207
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 4: Bus speak to each other.

208
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:10,600
Speaker 5: Right, you know, once the lights go off, that's I

209
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:14,640
Speaker 5: mean you, I mean, it's only three hundred and seventy

210
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 5: eight people right that are in the Hall of Fame,

211
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:27,199
Speaker 5: and I think there are some conversations because there's I mean,

212
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 5: if you just look at who's in there, the bus

213
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:35,440
Speaker 5: that are in that room, it's.

214
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:38,720
Speaker 4: It's the best of the best.

215
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 5: And I tell people now, I'm a part of the

216
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 5: greatest football team ever.

217
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:47,320
Speaker 3: Assembly I love you telling stories about Curtis Johnson and

218
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:51,440
Speaker 3: Larry Kirksey because they coached you directly. And here you

219
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:54,840
Speaker 3: are going into the Hall of Fame now officially. And

220
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 3: I guess the message must be to everybody in all

221
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:01,080
Speaker 3: walks of life, but especially the young player. It's about

222
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:03,559
Speaker 3: the day today, isn't it All the work you put

223
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 3: in on a daily basis with those coaches, those mentors

224
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:08,319
Speaker 3: and whatever else you put into it.

225
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:13,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, I tell people all the time, like I never

226
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 5: traveled when I played, So I had a fourteen year career.

227
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 5: The furthest I ever went was to the Bahamas and

228
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 5: that's forty five minutes to hour from Miami. So I

229
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:31,720
Speaker 5: never traveled. I never went to always felt like I

230
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:35,319
Speaker 5: had to be working and it did.

231
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 4: With that.

232
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:40,920
Speaker 5: It just takes a lot of sacrifice, you know. It

233
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:45,079
Speaker 5: takes a lot of a lot of work, and that's

234
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:47,360
Speaker 5: that's just what I always felt like I had to

235
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:52,320
Speaker 5: be doing I didn't want to feel like anybody, you know,

236
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 5: outworked me or got ahead of me. So I just

237
00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:59,600
Speaker 5: always I don't care if I went out to a club,

238
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:02,839
Speaker 5: Like my friends would be like, man, you want it

239
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 5: worked out.

240
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:06,200
Speaker 4: I was like, yeah, yeah, I was sleep. You know.

241
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:11,080
Speaker 5: It was just something that I knew I had to

242
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:14,320
Speaker 5: do to stay on top of my game and be

243
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:15,400
Speaker 5: the best player I could be.

244
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:19,800
Speaker 3: One more for you the passage of time, because I

245
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:24,200
Speaker 3: first saw you almost twenty five years ago, nineteen ninety nine.

246
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 3: My first day as voice of the Hurricanes was at

247
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:29,560
Speaker 3: that scrimmage at the soccer Stadium.

248
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 4: Remember that one.

249
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 3: You're wearing number five going off and I'm like, who's that? Well,

250
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 3: he's probably not playing this year because we've got Santanamas

251
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 3: and Reggie Wayne and Daryl Jones and all those guys.

252
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:42,720
Speaker 3: And twenty five years later you're going to get inducted.

253
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:45,199
Speaker 3: It's been quite a quarter century.

254
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 1: Yeah.

255
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:51,200
Speaker 5: I don't think back then, I even thought I would

256
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:57,199
Speaker 5: be in this position. I was telling I would say

257
00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 5: earlier that CJ. You know, my receiver, Curtis Johnson. He

258
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:03,760
Speaker 5: used to tell me he was like, man, if you

259
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:05,960
Speaker 5: just listen to what I tell you, you'll be a

260
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 5: top five pick. He used to tell me that all

261
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:12,600
Speaker 5: the time. And when I really bought into what he

262
00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 5: was teaching and showing me, everything just kind of took

263
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:23,120
Speaker 5: off for me. It was crazy because it's crazy just

290
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 1: back to this Wednesday at issue of Texans All Access point,

291
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:47,840
Speaker 1: It's been a while since I have said those words.

292
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:49,960
Speaker 1: In fact, the last time was heading into a game

293
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:54,160
Speaker 1: against the Baltimore Ravens, which made me think. John Harris,

294
00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:56,520
Speaker 1: along with Mark vandermer I sent this text to you

295
00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 1: the other night. I don't know why it hit me,

296
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:03,760
Speaker 1: but the we have lost in the division round five times.

297
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:07,400
Speaker 1: Yes we have lost all five of those on the road. Yes,

298
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:11,920
Speaker 1: we have lost all five of those in a rematch scenario.

299
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 3: Now that's different. I didn't think of that until you

300
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 3: dropped that.

301
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 6: Yeah.

302
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 1: In twenty eleven lost to the Ravens, lost to the Ravens,

303
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 1: twenty twelve lost the Patriots lost to the Patriots, twenty

304
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 1: sixteen lost the Patriots lost the Patriots twenty nineteen is.

305
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:27,680
Speaker 2: The only win we had beat.

306
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:31,320
Speaker 1: The Chiefs lost the Chiefs twenty twenty three, lost the

307
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:33,480
Speaker 1: Ravens lost the Ravens.

308
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:35,920
Speaker 2: That's weird. I know there are I know, playoffs and

309
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:36,920
Speaker 2: rematches like I get it.

310
00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:39,680
Speaker 1: And maybe that's why I was thinking when we left Baltimore,

311
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 1: and you know, I've told you this that I feel

312
00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:43,360
Speaker 1: like we're gonna be back here.

313
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:45,720
Speaker 2: I was hoping it was gonna go differently, but it didn't.

314
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:50,760
Speaker 1: But five rematches in the divisional rounds, so I don't know,

315
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:54,360
Speaker 1: maybe avoid the rematch or play those games here in

316
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:55,480
Speaker 1: the near future.

317
00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:55,880
Speaker 4: That's it.

318
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:58,480
Speaker 3: You have no control over rematch. You do have control

319
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:01,600
Speaker 3: over whether you play at home or not by winning

320
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 3: more games than the regular season, and that is the goal.

321
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:07,840
Speaker 3: Because we just heard from Andre and I just did

322
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:10,360
Speaker 3: another Q and A with Andre for people in the building,

323
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:14,119
Speaker 3: and he talks about twenty eleven and how important it

324
00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:15,720
Speaker 3: would have been, how great it would have been to

325
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:17,960
Speaker 3: be able to play the Ravens at home the following year,

326
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:21,080
Speaker 3: be able to play the Patriots at home. Those wins

327
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:23,520
Speaker 3: that you didn't get in the regular season cost you. Now,

328
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:25,879
Speaker 3: twenty eleven obviously they had multiple reasons for that. With

329
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:28,280
Speaker 3: all the injuries. Twenty twelve, they kind of blew it

330
00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:31,760
Speaker 3: down the stretch, not really kind of, but they blew

331
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:35,320
Speaker 3: their opportunity to host an extra game or two at

332
00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:37,880
Speaker 3: home home field throughout with just one more win my goodness.

333
00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:39,800
Speaker 2: So I'm with you, Johnny.

334
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:42,360
Speaker 3: You play that sucker at home, that divisional round at home,

335
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:46,119
Speaker 3: and preferably the AFC Championship game. Also, things can be

336
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 3: very different, but you got to make that happen.

337
00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:51,440
Speaker 1: So we just got done talking to Andre Johnson. Hopefully

338
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:53,520
Speaker 1: if you guys you were able to listen to that.

339
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:56,199

Speaker 2: It was great to catch you Withdres.

344
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:07,840
Speaker 1: First time we've seen him since he was inducted into

345
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:13,080
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame and well announced to be announced.

346
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:14,840
Speaker 2: Right, correct, because you'd said it perfectly.

347
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:20,040
Speaker 1: He was an inductee Hall of Fame inductee in August, August, July,

348
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:22,520
Speaker 1: whatever timeframe he'll ended up going into the Hall of

349
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:28,600
Speaker 1: Fame when it's announced. Yeah, and it's you see him

350
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:31,199
Speaker 1: on the stage at honors. Andre Johnson has gotten in

351
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:33,600
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame. I was talking to somebody earlier today.

352
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:37,320
Speaker 1: It was an interview with Orange Bloods with Jeff Catchum

353
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:39,840
Speaker 1: Chad Hastings, and we're kind of talking about it. You've

354
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:43,640
Speaker 1: called every one of Andre Johnson's games college NFL.

355
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:46,320
Speaker 2: I don't count fifteen sixteen. That doesn't matter to me.

356
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:48,399
Speaker 1: Except for two thousand and two when you start with

357
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 1: the organization here and only you can speak to that.

358
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:54,200
Speaker 1: I know. Obviously fans have all their moments with Andre.

359
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:56,200
Speaker 1: I got in the building at twenty fourteen is last

360
00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 1: season here. Got to know Andre since then. But for you,

361
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:02,399
Speaker 1: having called all those games back in Miami, all the

362
00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:06,840
Speaker 1: Texans games, seen every single great moment when you knew

363
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:09,720
Speaker 1: and you heard, oh my gosh, he's in, what's your first.

364
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:12,520
Speaker 3: Thought, There's something different? Didn't say it in his press conference.

365
00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 3: I've talked with him several times today and heard from

366
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:15,360
Speaker 3: him several times, so.

367
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:17,160
Speaker 2: It's all together.

368
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:20,399
Speaker 3: But he said there's something different. Yeah, once you know

369
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:24,000
Speaker 3: you're in, you're in that gold Jacket club. Once I

370
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 3: knew he was in, it seemed like the world changed,

371
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:30,439
Speaker 3: and it brought the past back to life for me

372
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:32,919
Speaker 3: because you and I always talk about old games and

373
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:35,640
Speaker 3: what happened. You know, the older we get, the older

374
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:37,920
Speaker 3: those games get. Johnny, I hate to break it to you,

375
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:41,800
Speaker 3: but I'm realizing this the math. Yeah, you start talking

376
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:43,960
Speaker 3: about remember in two thousand and eight, that was a

377
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:47,440
Speaker 3: long freaking time ago. You're talking sixteen years ago. Oh

378
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:49,879
Speaker 3: my gosh, Well what about two thousand and four, the

379
00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:53,359
Speaker 3: flipover catch against Minnesota? Two thousand and four.

380
00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:56,560
Speaker 2: Years ago? Years ago?

381
00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:56,800
Speaker 4: What?

382
00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:00,040
Speaker 3: But I remember it like it was yesterday. And you

383
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,480
Speaker 3: you can't expect the younger fans to remember these things

384
00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:05,919
Speaker 3: or even know them at all. So it just brings

385
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:07,600
Speaker 3: all that stuff back to life for me, and it

386
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:11,080
Speaker 3: immortalizes and we said it with him, not just the plays,

387
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:13,960
Speaker 3: not just the moments, not just the sweet wins you

388
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:18,160
Speaker 3: did get, but all the other players ride along with

389
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:20,879
Speaker 3: you to Canton. And there's just something magical about that.

390
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:25,040
Speaker 3: It puts all that stuff in a time capsule and

391
00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:28,639
Speaker 3: makes it golden, makes it all where this Hall of

392
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:31,280
Speaker 3: Fame jacket, you don't have a ring to celebrate from

393
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:34,359
Speaker 3: that era. You don't even have a division title to

394
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:38,399
Speaker 3: celebrate pre twenty eleven, but you have Andre Johnson Hall

395
00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:41,320
Speaker 3: of Famer, and I think everybody can, as I said,

396
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:44,600
Speaker 3: ride along, participate in that. And there's just something so

397
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:47,480
Speaker 3: wonderful about it. And he deserves it. He's one of

398
00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:49,879
Speaker 3: the greatest athletes to ever play any sport in the

399
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:54,879
Speaker 3: history of this city. And now it's more third party validation,

400
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 3: more than he already had.

401
00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:59,560
Speaker 1: I think obviously it hit me when I saw him

402
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:02,520
Speaker 1: on stage and I was like, yes, it's so cool.

403
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:05,600
Speaker 1: But then I saw our social media when he said

404
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:07,320
Speaker 1: we're in the Hall of Fame.

405
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:08,000
Speaker 2: He said we.

406
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:11,720
Speaker 1: This is from a position a wide receiver that is

407
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:13,280
Speaker 1: famously known for its divas.

408
00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:15,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, the III Gang.

409
00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:18,359
Speaker 1: You know, I did this, I get my numbers, I've

410
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:20,760
Speaker 1: done this, I'm doing this. I got into the Hall

411
00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 1: of Fame and Andre Johnson says, hey, Houston, We're in

412
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:28,520
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame. And it hit me, like, I

413
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:30,919
Speaker 1: don't know why, it's just for And obviously I was.

414
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:34,120
Speaker 1: I was stope for Andre because I know what he's

415
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:36,920
Speaker 1: gone through. You know, I knew his career just having

416
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:39,760
Speaker 1: seen like I all of that, and he's so revered

417
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:42,760
Speaker 1: in this city. You see still so many eighty jerseys,

418
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:46,480
Speaker 1: and he says, we're in, and I just to your point,

419
00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:48,960
Speaker 1: it was like he was saying, I'm taking Yeah, I'm

420
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:52,639
Speaker 1: going in. I'm the representative of all of you guys.

421
00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:55,879
Speaker 1: I'm going in as that representative. And I just for

422
00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:59,920
Speaker 1: a former wide receiver to think that way, and he's

423
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:03,440
Speaker 1: always kind of been that way. It was never the braggadocio,

424
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:07,680
Speaker 1: hey look at me stuff. It was it was always

425
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:09,760
Speaker 1: he was always concerned about what the team was doing,

426
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:12,720
Speaker 1: how the team was performing. Even in his retirement, he

427
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 1: was concerned about what the team has been doing and

428
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:18,879
Speaker 1: how the team is going. Vocal right, and none of

429
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:21,200
Speaker 1: it having to do with him, but just what does

430
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:24,800
Speaker 1: this mean, you know, for the city of Houston, for

431
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:28,360
Speaker 1: my teammates. I just that's the part when I that's

432
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:30,520
Speaker 1: the part when I started to kind of like, oh man,

433
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:35,080
Speaker 1: he has always been so different. I remember seeing them

434
00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:36,480
Speaker 1: when I moved back here in two thousand and seven

435
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:38,960
Speaker 1: I started coming to Texas. At that point, I remember

436
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:42,680
Speaker 1: seeing him on a field and just went, oh, like, yeah,

437
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:46,399
Speaker 1: that's look at the size, that's what NFL receivers look like.

438
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:49,200
Speaker 1: You realize, no, that's not what all NFL wide receivers

439
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 1: look like, but that's just one of the greatest ones

440
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:52,160
Speaker 1: of all time.

441
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:54,960
Speaker 2: That's what he looks like. And that just that's always.

442
00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:56,879
Speaker 1: That's always got me and always when we're sitting here

443
00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:59,000
Speaker 1: interviewing me, Citnycross from me, I just looked at like,

444
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:00,960
Speaker 1: oh my god, have been a defensive end in the

445
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:01,600
Speaker 1: IVY League.

446
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:02,960
Speaker 2: Plus I mean, it.

447
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:05,960
Speaker 3: Was m Carter, Chris Carter in the special right, because

448
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:06,920
Speaker 3: he's the one who knocks.

449
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:08,360
Speaker 2: On the y he's the knocker.

450
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:11,280
Speaker 3: And with Steve Weisch in the van or the limo,

451
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:13,239
Speaker 3: it's probably not a van. Well, maybe it is a van.

452
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:16,600
Speaker 3: On the way over to his house, Steve Wish is

453
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:18,840
Speaker 3: asking him, tell me about Andre Johnson. Tell the viewers

454
00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:20,360
Speaker 3: about Andre Johnson, who don't.

455
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:20,960
Speaker 4: Know what he did.

456
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:24,400
Speaker 3: And he said, he's a mixture of He went DK

457
00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:27,800
Speaker 3: Metcalf and Sterling Sharp.

458
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:29,320
Speaker 2: That's a good combo.

459
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:32,360
Speaker 3: And I thought, all right, good reference with DK Metcalf

460
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:35,960
Speaker 3: to get the young people to visualize something. But Sterling Sharp,

461
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:38,560
Speaker 3: nobody remembers him. Who would be watching that show if

462
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:42,480
Speaker 3: they don't remember Andre Johnson. Well, I like it him too.

463
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:48,040
Speaker 3: I think Metcalf is good partly aj Brown good, partly

464
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:52,399
Speaker 3: the precision route running Johnny. And I think that that

465
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:55,680
Speaker 3: number ten highlight in the video that we put out

466
00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:57,640
Speaker 3: that the Hall of Fame picked up that everybody had

467
00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:00,480
Speaker 3: where he torches pac Man Jones in the play off game.

468
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:04,720
Speaker 3: That little you know, he's acting like he's gonna go

469
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:08,359
Speaker 3: to the sideline, but and Jones just bites on a

470
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:10,920
Speaker 3: big time and he just runs right by him. Because

471
00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:14,800
Speaker 3: Carter said it, well, he he's that big, and he's

472
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:19,200
Speaker 3: got that those hands, and he can run. Zero weaknesses

473
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:19,680
Speaker 3: in his game.

474
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:20,320
Speaker 4: Zero.

475
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:23,639
Speaker 3: There is no weakness in the Andre Johnson game. And

476
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:25,479
Speaker 3: I thought that was high praise. And then he's standing

477
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 3: next to Carter and Carter would torch people in this league,

478
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:31,840
Speaker 3: I mean just kills people in this league right when

479
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:35,520
Speaker 3: he's playing. Yep, he's a foot shorter than Andre Johnson.

480
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:37,639
Speaker 3: I mean, now it might be differit he gets older, whatever,

481
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:40,480
Speaker 3: but you look at the shoulder height. Never mind the height,

482
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:44,200
Speaker 3: the shoulder height and the presence of Andre still years

483
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:47,200
Speaker 3: after playing eight years after playing football. It's incredible.

484
00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:48,639
Speaker 2: It absolutely is.

485
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:51,960
Speaker 1: I like the DK Sterling Sharp like I get, I

486
00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:54,840
Speaker 1: get the Sterling Sharp comparison and that is absolutely dead on.

487
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:56,760
Speaker 1: And the thing is, I don't know people want to

488
00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:59,320
Speaker 1: know her story Sharp, He's not a whole famous Sterling.

489
00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:02,040
Speaker 1: Sharp got hurt. Hur had a neck injury and that

490
00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:04,600
Speaker 1: shut his career down. Yeah, I know you we all

491
00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:06,959
Speaker 1: know Shannon Sharp and Club Shay Shay and all that.

492
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:11,280
Speaker 1: Sterling was that at risk starting. He was that plus,

493
00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:12,639
Speaker 1: but he got hurt and he had to cut his

494
00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:17,280
Speaker 1: career short. He was a That's a great comparison. I

495
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:20,359
Speaker 1: love Chris Carter using that because people forget Stirling Sharp.

496
00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:24,720
Speaker 1: That's Andre was even bigger, stronger, faster than him. But

497
00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:26,120
Speaker 1: at some point it got brought up and I can't

498
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:29,240
Speaker 1: remember I remember the first time that I remember distinctly

499
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:31,400
Speaker 1: because that was two thousand and one team with Miami.

500
00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:33,879
Speaker 1: In those games you were calling, you'd watch him for

501
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:37,359
Speaker 1: a little while, and everybody else's you know, everybody's doing something.

502
00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:39,879
Speaker 1: And I'm sure during the games that I watched, you know,

503
00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:42,240
Speaker 1: I saw Dre, but I really wasn't paying too much attention.

504
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:46,159
Speaker 1: Wasn't that Rose Bowl when Keyo Kraver is just getting

505
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:49,359
Speaker 1: tossed like a rag doll because the six three and

506
00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 1: thirty pounds superstud is just tossing him to the ground

507
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:54,680
Speaker 1: lot for him.

508
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:56,919
Speaker 2: I mean that rose that to me.

509
00:25:57,080 --> 00:25:59,960
Speaker 1: That's that's the one that you know, doing what I

510
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:01,880
Speaker 1: like to do and doing the scouting and that kind

511
00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:05,040
Speaker 1: of thing. That's not I went, Okay, he's just a sophomore.

512
00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:07,359
Speaker 1: I need to watch that guy because he's going to

513
00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:08,200
Speaker 1: be a superstar.

514
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:13,080
Speaker 3: And he turned out to be exactly that, so strong,

515
00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:16,639
Speaker 3: can run like the wind. Carter also talked about his

516
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:21,200
Speaker 3: lateral quickness and everything that he's done off the field

517
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:25,200
Speaker 3: as well. It's just it's so thrilling that he's getting in.

518
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:28,720
Speaker 3: I can't wait for the induction ceremony and what goes in.

519
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:31,000
Speaker 3: In a few years, you'll have two Texans in and

520
00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:32,040
Speaker 3: we'll see how it goes from this.

521
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:35,359
Speaker 1: Okay, lay your bets down. Who's the third Textan to

522
00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:35,720
Speaker 1: get in?

523
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:41,480
Speaker 3: I think Dwayne Brown's not getting in, right, I don't

524
00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:43,760
Speaker 3: think so. But Dwayne Brown was very good for a

525
00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:47,760
Speaker 3: long time. Absolutely, there's no question. Absolutely, Hop that's what

526
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:49,439
Speaker 3: I think I would have to say, Hop, And I mean,

527
00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:51,840
Speaker 3: that's that's the only guy you can pick, right. I mean,

528
00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:54,520
Speaker 3: I think Arian Foster, you play another three four.

529
00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:55,439
Speaker 2: Years, you got a shot.

530
00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:55,920
Speaker 4: Yep.

531
00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:56,920
Speaker 2: You got a shot.

532
00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:00,320
Speaker 3: Owen Daniels is twenty fifth on the all time tight

533
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:03,679
Speaker 3: ends receiving list. But you got to put up astronomical

534
00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:05,280
Speaker 3: numbers if you're going to get in as a tight end.

535
00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:07,760
Speaker 3: The fact that Gates does not get in and he's

536
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:10,240
Speaker 3: top what three is a tight end top three or

537
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:13,280
Speaker 3: four at the outside, as a tight end receiving the football,

538
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:15,040
Speaker 3: you're not going to get in. So I just brought

539
00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:16,800
Speaker 3: that up because I'm thinking of great Texans and there

540
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:19,399
Speaker 3: are many others who I will not mention right now.

541
00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:23,480
Speaker 3: It's got to be other than what It's probably hot.

542
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:26,359
Speaker 3: But Hop has to put up a few more yards here, Yeah,

543
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:28,640
Speaker 3: I said, the more yards and a few more receptions.

544
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:30,359
Speaker 1: I said the other night that he told me on

545
00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:32,400
Speaker 1: the field he wants to play another five years.

546
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:36,159
Speaker 3: If he does five years, at give me a number

547
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:38,200
Speaker 3: sixty seven.

548
00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:38,600
Speaker 6: Let's go.

549
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:42,840
Speaker 1: Let's go seventy receptions for eleven hundred yards six touchdowns

550
00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:44,360
Speaker 1: for the next five years.

551
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:45,760
Speaker 6: It's a lock.

552
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:48,080
Speaker 3: It's a lock. I mean I'm talking about I think

553
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:50,040
Speaker 3: he needs like three or four thousand to get into

554
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:51,600
Speaker 3: that top ten range.

555
00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:51,560
Speaker 4: You know.

556
00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:53,480
Speaker 1: And once he gets in the top ten range, and

557
00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:56,840
Speaker 1: Hops also got the he's got a highlight reel. Right,

558
00:27:57,080 --> 00:27:59,880
Speaker 1: he's got he's got the highlight reel. Then you throw

559
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:02,000
Speaker 1: the two catches that didn't even count. It's not gonna

560
00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:03,920
Speaker 1: matter because people are gonna watch the high that reel

561
00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:04,840
Speaker 1: and not even you remember that.

562
00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:07,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, now you can remember that. He will. You know

563
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:09,199
Speaker 2: what it is about boast flags.

564
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:13,120
Speaker 3: It's funny. It's kind of like watching a high scoring

565
00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:17,600
Speaker 3: basketball player with Andre Johnson, because he would have a

566
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:20,639
Speaker 3: catch here, catch there, and a couple of receptions here.

567
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:23,920
Speaker 3: All of a sudden, it's eight for one twenty Wait

568
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:26,680
Speaker 3: what Yeah, you knew he was having a good day,

569
00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:30,159
Speaker 3: but he just puts up numbers and more numbers and

570
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:31,679
Speaker 3: more number and that's how you get to be eleventh

571
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:33,280
Speaker 3: all time yards and catches.

572
00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:35,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's very much that way.

573
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:37,480
Speaker 1: I mean, think of all the great basketball players you

574
00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:39,240
Speaker 1: ever saw anything like well, he hit twenty eight.

575
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:43,800
Speaker 3: Tonight, exactly, yeah, yeah, exactly yeah. Bucket here, bucket there,

576
00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:46,840
Speaker 3: a few free throws, another bucket here, sit out, four minutes,

577
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:48,400
Speaker 3: come back, bucket, bucket, and.

578
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:51,440
Speaker 7: All of a sudden you have thirty Wait, it was

579
00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:55,760
Speaker 7: quiet thirty. I just wish that Andre could have had

580
00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:02,400
Speaker 7: a playoff run like Larry Fitzgerald had. Yeah, I thought

581
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:05,520
Speaker 7: that Gerald had that two thousand and eight playoff run

582
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:07,040
Speaker 7: and it was like that.

583
00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:09,920
Speaker 2: From that point on, everybody was like, He's going to

584
00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:11,160
Speaker 2: the Hall of Fame, no questions.

585
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:14,200
Speaker 1: And I think really nobody in Houston ever questioned Andre

586
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:15,760
Speaker 1: he should be in the Hall of Fame. I think

587
00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:18,040
Speaker 1: there were probably some nationally that were probably you know,

588
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:19,560
Speaker 1: I didn't get a chance to watch him all that,

589
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:23,000
Speaker 1: and you know, I think we've seen that kind of

590
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:26,440
Speaker 1: playoff run from him and get all the way to

591
00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:27,960
Speaker 1: the super Bowl and he does all that, it would

592
00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:30,200
Speaker 1: have been we wouldn't have to wait another couple of

593
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:31,080
Speaker 1: years for him to get in.

594
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:34,800
Speaker 3: But I remember nine just freaking out, Wait, oh wait, wait,

595
00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:39,600
Speaker 3: Cardinals freaking out thinking their guy is putting together this

596
00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:42,800
Speaker 3: reel and our guy can't get into the postseason and

597
00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:45,000
Speaker 3: it's no fault of his exactly. We got to get

598
00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:46,880
Speaker 3: him in. And then we finally get him in in

599
00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:48,960
Speaker 3: eleven and he had a banged up season, but he

600
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:51,720
Speaker 3: still played well and then he finally gets in and

601
00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:54,320
Speaker 3: catches a touchdown. I was so thrilled to see him

602
00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:56,680
Speaker 3: catch that playoff TD against the Bengals. I thought, this

603
00:29:57,400 --> 00:29:59,480
Speaker 3: is it. Yep, let's go to the next round. Let's

604
00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:03,120
Speaker 3: do this again, let's build on this. Couldn't do it obviously,

605
00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:06,560
Speaker 3: couldn't get to the AFC Championship Game and beyond. But

606
00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:09,720
Speaker 3: he's in Canton. And here's the other word. It's a

607
00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:13,200
Speaker 3: relief for me. He didn't say it, I'll say it

608
00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:17,480
Speaker 3: for me. I'm relieved. I didn't want any more questioning anymore,

609
00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:20,280
Speaker 3: having to prove it, like you said, like he said,

610
00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:23,000
Speaker 3: you can't catch any more tds or any more passes

611
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:25,520
Speaker 3: or make any more plays, so you have to rely

612
00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:27,720
Speaker 3: on what you've got. And I just thought, man, I

613
00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:29,920
Speaker 3: don't want this thing to continue to drag. And then

614
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:31,480
Speaker 3: all of a sudden, oh my gosh, you got to

615
00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:33,280
Speaker 3: get in with the veterans, and he's going to be,

616
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:36,960
Speaker 3: you know, sixty five years old. No, get him in now,

617
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:40,320
Speaker 3: and he's in and it's a relief and it's glorious.

618
00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:42,240
Speaker 2: Well, I think there are a couple of things.

619
00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:46,320
Speaker 1: Number One, I'd like to think that I can watch

620
00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:48,720
Speaker 1: football and know that guy's a good player. That guy's

621
00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:50,760
Speaker 1: a good player. Okay, that guy's not as great, doc

622
00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:55,680
Speaker 1: guy's a superstar. When I watched Andre Johnson, and I

623
00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:57,280
Speaker 1: watched him in his career. I felt like I was

624
00:30:57,320 --> 00:30:59,520
Speaker 1: watching a Hall of Fame wide receiver. Sure, but when

625
00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:02,240
Speaker 1: he doesn't get in, I'm starting to crush myself, Like, man,

626
00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:04,840
Speaker 1: did I like? Did I not see this?

627
00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:05,360
Speaker 4: Like?

628
00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:06,479
Speaker 2: Man, I don't know.

629
00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:08,200
Speaker 1: I thought he was all Fame receiver. I thought he

630
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:12,000
Speaker 1: should have definitely gotten in. And so now, okay, personally,

631
00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:13,880
Speaker 1: I feel better. If you want a hot take, yeah,

632
00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:15,440
Speaker 1: oh yeah, of course I'll love a hot take.

633
00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:18,920
Speaker 3: He's every bit as good as Megatron. I'm sorry. Oh yeah,

634
00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:19,720
Speaker 3: there's no question.

635
00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:21,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's not a hot take.

636
00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:25,080
Speaker 3: Okay, good because I think some people like hap, why

637
00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:28,800
Speaker 3: does Megatron like get a free pass there? Because he's Megatron.

638
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:31,240
Speaker 3: He's got to catch he nickname. And here's the other

639
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:33,240
Speaker 3: thing about Andre. Every time he was in a game

640
00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:36,280
Speaker 3: with Larry Fitzgerald or Megatron, he had the better game.

641
00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:38,840
Speaker 3: And I exactly right, and he doesn't have full control

642
00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:40,440
Speaker 3: over that. The ball has got to come his way,

643
00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:44,360
Speaker 3: but it just happened. And in nine the back bang

644
00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:49,040
Speaker 3: against the Cardinals play Larry's team right, and oh or

645
00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:52,400
Speaker 3: thirteen when he makes those two amazing tds off the

646
00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:54,960
Speaker 3: arm of case Keenum. Well, guess who was on the

647
00:31:55,000 --> 00:32:00,640
Speaker 3: sideline opposite Larry Fitzgerald in twenty twelve Thanksgiving has the

648
00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:04,160
Speaker 3: better game than Megatron because he's having that two game stretch,

649
00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:06,520
Speaker 3: which was the top of a wide receiver in the

650
00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:09,040
Speaker 3: history of the league. Always had the better game, and

651
00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:12,560
Speaker 3: I just thought he was He's People cannot come at

652
00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:14,840
Speaker 3: me and say Larry Fitzgerald's better than Andre Johnson. I

653
00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:17,680
Speaker 3: know he put up a big body of work, played longer.

654
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:20,320
Speaker 3: I get it, I get it, I get it. You

655
00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:24,320
Speaker 3: take gms from that era. We're putting together a team.

656
00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:29,200
Speaker 3: Who do you want? Look, Megatron's gonna get some action.

657
00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:31,560
Speaker 3: I think Larry's third in this thing at you know,

658
00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:36,560
Speaker 3: that's solidified. I think Andre Johnson, most coaches, knowing who

659
00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:39,400
Speaker 3: he is as a person, would pick him. That's just

660
00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:39,880
Speaker 3: my thought.

661
00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:40,800
Speaker 2: Here's the thing about.

662
00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:45,400
Speaker 1: Those three guys which I find very interesting. None of

663
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:47,640
Speaker 1: the three and I felt like there was a period

664
00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:52,520
Speaker 1: of time three four years where Mega Tron, Larry Fitzgerald,

665
00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:54,840
Speaker 1: Andre Johnson were the three top receivers in football and

666
00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:56,640
Speaker 1: there was nobody even close. I feel like that was

667
00:32:56,640 --> 00:32:59,640
Speaker 1: a period of Dominson was those three guys All three

668
00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:05,520
Speaker 1: of those guys were very much team first, team centric,

669
00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:08,880
Speaker 1: not about me. Didn't like, hey, look at what I've done,

670
00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:12,640
Speaker 1: all of them, which is fascinating because that was an

671
00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:14,680
Speaker 1: era of hey, look at what I'm doing, look at

672
00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:17,600
Speaker 1: how I'm doing, look at what I just did, and

673
00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:20,360
Speaker 1: those three guys there was none of that. Larry fitzgerald'sco touchdown,

674
00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:23,120
Speaker 1: he handed the ball the official Megatron, there's no celebration.

675
00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:25,200
Speaker 1: I think he dunked the ball over the goal post.

676
00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:28,680
Speaker 1: Maybe that was it. Megatron very quiet. You just didn't

677
00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:30,760
Speaker 1: hear him talk a lot in the press. He didn't

678
00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:33,360
Speaker 1: talk at other defensive backs. And obviously we know Andre.

679
00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:36,480
Speaker 1: Those three dominant for however long they worked together. I

680
00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:39,640
Speaker 1: thought those three were the most dominant. They were not

681
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:44,160
Speaker 1: the stereotypical divas that you know. We still playing at

682
00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:47,360
Speaker 1: the wide receiver position. So it was pretty it was.

683
00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:49,680
Speaker 1: It's pretty interesting to think about that. Fitzgerald will get

684
00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:53,560
Speaker 1: in Megtron's in, Andrea's in. Fitzgerald will get in. I

685
00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:55,240
Speaker 1: don't even know what year he retired, but he'll get

686
00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:59,000
Speaker 1: in very very soon. But our guy is in, and

687
00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:02,720
Speaker 1: that's most important. Andre Johnson going into the Hall of

688
00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:05,240
Speaker 1: Fame got into the third ballot, should have been first.

689
00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:05,880
Speaker 2: We all know that.

690
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:08,480
Speaker 1: But at least he's in and we got our Hall

691
00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:10,439
Speaker 1: of Fame in our mits, which is very very cool.

692
00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:10,680
Speaker 6: Right.

693
00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:12,520
Speaker 1: Coming up next, we're gonna go in the lab with

694
00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:14,680
Speaker 1: Drew Doherty and I will talk about this a little

695
00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:17,360
Speaker 1: bit more about Andrea going into Hall of Fame, and

696
00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:21,200
Speaker 1: then that's next to Texans All Access. Welcome back, everybody. Yeah,

697
00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:24,120
Speaker 1: Wednesday is of Texans All Access. Is not complete until

698
00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:26,640
Speaker 1: we go in the lab with Drew Doherty and myself.

699
00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:27,440
Speaker 2: Let's go.

700
00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:30,319
Speaker 8: Let's talk about Andre Johnson. He got fitted for his

701
00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:36,719
Speaker 8: yellow jacket. Saw the tweet on Tuesday around lunchtime, dre

702
00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:40,839
Speaker 8: getting fitted. It was just so awesome to see long

703
00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:43,759
Speaker 8: time coming three years a long time. He should have

704
00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:45,800
Speaker 8: sailed in on the first one, as we all think,

705
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:48,799
Speaker 8: and no, but you know, he went in and it

706
00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:51,239
Speaker 8: was a nice night, a wonderful night. You guys have

707
00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:56,240
Speaker 8: recapped it and everything, but I just want to reemphasize

708
00:34:56,320 --> 00:35:00,239
Speaker 8: he's eleventh all time in receptions and receiving yards. There

709
00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:02,359
Speaker 8: are ten men in front of him. All of them

710
00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:04,960
Speaker 8: are in the Hall of Fame or will be someday.

711
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:09,880
Speaker 8: Soon nine. Nine of those ten are receivers. The lone

712
00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:14,160
Speaker 8: non receivers Tony Gonzalez tight end, he's in Canton. But

713
00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:17,040
Speaker 8: every one of them played with a quarterback who was

714
00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:20,600
Speaker 8: at least a Pro bowler with that guy for five

715
00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:26,600
Speaker 8: years and or a Pro Football Hall of Famer. Dre

716
00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:29,920
Speaker 8: played with Matt Schaub and he went to two Pro Bowls.

717
00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:34,520
Speaker 1: Correct, that's it. That's it, quarterback wise, that's it. That's

718
00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:38,879
Speaker 1: amazing to think from that standpoint, you know, when when

719
00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:41,799
Speaker 1: we saw the news and really, I don't know how

720
00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:43,640
Speaker 1: this happened. I happened to be on Twitter on the

721
00:35:43,719 --> 00:35:46,080
Speaker 1: night of honors and honors was just an incredible night.

722
00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:48,480
Speaker 1: CJ wins Rookie of the Year. Off its Rookie of

723
00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:51,719
Speaker 1: the Year, Will wins Defensive Rookie of the Year. Demiko

724
00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:54,239
Speaker 1: is our coach of the Year. It's a tie. Tie

725
00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:55,960
Speaker 1: should have gone to the runner, meaning who won the

726
00:35:55,960 --> 00:35:58,799
Speaker 1: playoff game? Right, Demiko smashed so that should have been

727
00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:01,560
Speaker 1: But either way, it's great night. Well, I'm starting to

728
00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:05,040
Speaker 1: see tweets. I saw breaking news Andre Johnson going to

729
00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:08,040
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame, and I thought, wait a second,

730
00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:11,400
Speaker 1: that's not and I the first thing I did was

731
00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:13,319
Speaker 1: to make sure I wasn't behind on the broadcast, because

732
00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:15,759
Speaker 1: that happens a lot. Sure forget that I'm behind on

733
00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:19,360
Speaker 1: the broadcast, Yeah, because I'm streaming, And so I'm like, no,

734
00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:21,919
Speaker 1: I was watching live, like, wait a second, they haven't

735
00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:25,399
Speaker 1: unveiled this. Then I saw it again and I'm like,

736
00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:28,160
Speaker 1: I don't really want to, like, what if they're wrong?

737
00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:29,000
Speaker 2: I haven't.

738
00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:32,040
Speaker 1: I mean, I had a good hunch that it was happening,

739
00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:34,840
Speaker 1: but I so then I was like, I'm just gonna

740
00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:37,000
Speaker 1: wait for it to happen before I tweet anything and

741
00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:40,880
Speaker 1: or post anything. And then you see them all descend

742
00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:44,400
Speaker 1: from the floor, and there's that smile on his face. Man,

743
00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:47,600
Speaker 1: and when Andre smiles, it lights up the building. And

744
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:49,920
Speaker 1: it was so cool because you just knew, you know,

745
00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:52,560
Speaker 1: the joy he was feeling had to be feeling right

746
00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:55,720
Speaker 1: there standing on that stage had to be really really cool,

747
00:36:55,760 --> 00:36:58,040
Speaker 1: and I know, you know, I was feeling it. I

748
00:36:58,080 --> 00:37:00,840
Speaker 1: was at home, Jacket, thinking they're gone to Betters in

749
00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:02,680
Speaker 1: his room, and I'm just you know, I'm.

750
00:37:02,520 --> 00:37:05,120
Speaker 2: Like, I'm like standing up on accounts.

751
00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:07,600
Speaker 1: How this clapping and going nuts and it's you know,

752
00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:09,760
Speaker 1: it's and it's funny because as you and I have said,

753
00:37:10,520 --> 00:37:11,160
Speaker 1: there's nothing.

754
00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:13,359
Speaker 2: More he could do. Yeah, there was not a thing

755
00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:15,960
Speaker 2: that he could do any more than he had already done.

756
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:17,120
Speaker 2: There's nothing it.

757
00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:19,160
Speaker 1: The fate of whether he went in the Hall of

758
00:37:19,160 --> 00:37:22,040
Speaker 1: Fame or not was left up to the committee and

759
00:37:22,040 --> 00:37:25,279
Speaker 1: that and that was it. And I think that's you know,

760
00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:27,200
Speaker 1: that's the hard part. You always feel like there's something

761
00:37:27,239 --> 00:37:29,640
Speaker 1: you can do, you can help yourself in something.

762
00:37:29,719 --> 00:37:30,920
Speaker 2: No, there's nothing you can do.

763
00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:33,080
Speaker 6: He was in the bar, it was.

764
00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:35,600
Speaker 2: Done, and he just had to kind of sit and wait.

765
00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:38,680
Speaker 1: And that that's the most frustrating thing for a lot

766
00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:40,520
Speaker 1: of guys that end up in the NFL that you know,

767
00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:43,520
Speaker 1: the type as the alphas. You know, there's always something

768
00:37:43,560 --> 00:37:45,399
Speaker 1: they feel like they can do, and there's just there

769
00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:48,600
Speaker 1: was nothing. You just had to wait and you know,

770
00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:50,680
Speaker 1: three years of a wait. And look, I think Tory

771
00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:53,120
Speaker 1: Holt has been waiting longer. I think Reggie Wayne might

772
00:37:53,160 --> 00:37:55,680
Speaker 1: have been waiting longer. Uh. They put the right receiver in,

773
00:37:55,719 --> 00:37:57,480
Speaker 1: there's no question about that. I think those two are

774
00:37:58,680 --> 00:37:59,600
Speaker 1: Hall of famers as well.

775
00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:02,200
Speaker 8: But Steve Smith Senior too, those are the because those two,

776
00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:04,560
Speaker 8: as Luke Smith, are the three that are ahead of

777
00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:06,960
Speaker 8: him that are not right in the well, there's Larry

778
00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:09,600
Speaker 8: Fitzgerald's He's gonna get in. But yeah, I think all

779
00:38:09,640 --> 00:38:10,480
Speaker 8: those guys are reserved.

780
00:38:10,680 --> 00:38:13,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I think, you know, seeing Drake in, I

781
00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:16,960
Speaker 1: was glad two things. Number One, I was glad that

782
00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:22,280
Speaker 1: Andre is going in as the first Texan. Yeah, because

783
00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:25,239
Speaker 1: if you start getting in this wide receiver backlog and

784
00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:27,799
Speaker 1: it's all jammed up in a few years, you know,

785
00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:29,359
Speaker 1: do you have to wait another five years? And does

786
00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:31,640
Speaker 1: he go with JJ? And I'd like for each one

787
00:38:31,640 --> 00:38:34,759
Speaker 1: of them to have their own kind of ceremony and celebration.

788
00:38:35,160 --> 00:38:37,280
Speaker 1: I mean, he's gonna be tough enough that that JJ

789
00:38:37,360 --> 00:38:39,240
Speaker 1: is gonna have to share the stage with Tom Brady.

790
00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:42,359
Speaker 1: That's gonna be tough enough in how many every years

791
00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:44,920
Speaker 1: we are now away from that. But I was glad

792
00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:48,200
Speaker 1: for that. The second thing was I was glad there

793
00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:50,279
Speaker 1: was no other receiver that went in. Now, Devin Hester

794
00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:52,839
Speaker 1: is more for a return game and all that, yeah, yeah,

795
00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:55,479
Speaker 1: but as a true bona fide receiver, I was glad

796
00:38:55,520 --> 00:38:56,800
Speaker 1: it was just Dre totally.

797
00:38:56,800 --> 00:39:00,359
Speaker 8: He's the only an offensive player, you know, you know, yeah, right,

798
00:39:00,600 --> 00:39:01,719
Speaker 8: Hester got in as a.

799
00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:04,080
Speaker 2: Basically special teams returner.

800
00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:05,200
Speaker 6: Yeah, now he got it.

801
00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:08,600
Speaker 8: He caught sixteen touchdown passes, did hester, but he got

802
00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:12,360
Speaker 8: in because of all the touchdowns as a kickoff returner.

803
00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:16,120
Speaker 8: He was fantastic. And then the others all defenders. So yeah,

804
00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:19,279
Speaker 8: Andre was I didn't even that, didn't even Yes, Steve

805
00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:20,160
Speaker 8: Weis pointed that out.

806
00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:21,319
Speaker 2: I didn't even think about that.

807
00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:24,520
Speaker 6: That nice. You're the only offensive guy, and that's awesome. Yeah.

808
00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:27,239
Speaker 6: I was watching it with my kids. They were up.

809
00:39:27,280 --> 00:39:28,439
Speaker 6: They stayed up a little bit later.

810
00:39:28,520 --> 00:39:30,680
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, up lateless this week because they stayed up

811
00:39:30,719 --> 00:39:32,880
Speaker 8: later to see that. They stayed up late to finish

812
00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:35,080
Speaker 8: the Super Bowl. I was watching it with them and

813
00:39:35,120 --> 00:39:37,799
Speaker 8: they were having a fun, fun time. Yeah, cheering on

814
00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:43,360
Speaker 8: all the Texans past and present. Okay, NFL Draft is

815
00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:45,560
Speaker 8: still a while away. We're going to the Combine in

816
00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:47,359
Speaker 8: a couple of weeks. Yep, this time in two weeks

817
00:39:47,360 --> 00:39:48,359
Speaker 8: will be in the middle of it all.

818
00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:49,319
Speaker 2: That's exactly right.

819
00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:53,239
Speaker 8: And then in late April the draft happens. But a

820
00:39:53,280 --> 00:39:56,720
Speaker 8: couple of weeks ago, I released the first Houston Texans

821
00:39:56,760 --> 00:39:59,600
Speaker 8: mock Draft tracker, which is basically where I go around

822
00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:04,360
Speaker 8: the web and I Pluck the more notable mock drafts.

823
00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:06,719
Speaker 8: Anybody can do a mock draft and release it, and

824
00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:09,120
Speaker 8: God bless you if you do. But I'm going with

825
00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:15,360
Speaker 8: people who work for pre solid publication or outlet or whatever.

826
00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:18,480
Speaker 8: And the last one I did had twenty mock drafts

827
00:40:19,160 --> 00:40:22,440
Speaker 8: and the most mocked player to the Texans was a

828
00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:26,719
Speaker 8: guy named Chop Robinson, Penn State pass rusher, defensive end.

829
00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:31,880
Speaker 8: So I did it again today on Tuesday, and the

830
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:35,440
Speaker 8: number jump from twenty to thirty six, and Chop Robinson

831
00:40:35,520 --> 00:40:39,120
Speaker 8: doubled his folks who are mocking him to the Texans.

832
00:40:39,120 --> 00:40:40,319
Speaker 6: You're one of them, yep.

833
00:40:40,719 --> 00:40:45,120
Speaker 8: Six have Chop Robinson becoming a Texan but tied with

834
00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:49,080
Speaker 8: Chop now so at sixteen point seven percent of the

835
00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:53,960
Speaker 8: mock drafts tied with him. Out of Illinois defensive tackle

836
00:40:54,760 --> 00:40:58,759
Speaker 8: Jerson Newton also known as Johnny Newton. Lots of TFLs

837
00:40:58,800 --> 00:41:01,359
Speaker 8: this guy has. What's the deal? What do you think

838
00:41:01,360 --> 00:41:03,239
Speaker 8: about those too? I know you like Chop, get that

839
00:41:03,280 --> 00:41:05,640
Speaker 8: you have in mock to tell me a little bit

840
00:41:05,680 --> 00:41:07,000
Speaker 8: about each of them and how they would fit in

841
00:41:07,040 --> 00:41:08,320
Speaker 8: with the Demico Ryans defense.

842
00:41:08,360 --> 00:41:09,359
Speaker 2: Well, a couple of things.

843
00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:12,640
Speaker 1: As I'm going through this, you know, I I just

844
00:41:13,360 --> 00:41:18,280
Speaker 1: set my I haven't posted it yet. I'm not totally convinced,

845
00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:21,200
Speaker 1: but just going through and kind of initially setting my

846
00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:22,240
Speaker 1: Harris one hundred.

847
00:41:22,280 --> 00:41:25,200
Speaker 2: Actually Harris won fifty, So I'm like, okay, Texas are

848
00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:27,560
Speaker 2: around twenty three, So I try to match up where

849
00:41:27,560 --> 00:41:29,920
Speaker 2: I had players.

850
00:41:29,480 --> 00:41:31,920
Speaker 1: In some sense that we're around that that I would

851
00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:35,600
Speaker 1: consider that I thought about, and right there at number

852
00:41:35,640 --> 00:41:39,720
Speaker 1: twenty three is actually Chop Robinson. Yeah, so he's merrily

853
00:41:39,760 --> 00:41:43,720
Speaker 1: a transfer. He's a blur off the edge, incredibly quick.

854
00:41:45,239 --> 00:41:48,400
Speaker 1: I think he can hold up against the run a

855
00:41:48,440 --> 00:41:51,440
Speaker 1: little bit smaller, so that does give me.

856
00:41:51,400 --> 00:41:52,320
Speaker 2: A little bit of pause.

857
00:41:52,360 --> 00:41:54,040
Speaker 1: But I think he's probably going to measure the two

858
00:41:54,080 --> 00:41:56,200
Speaker 1: fifty range when he goes to the combine, or get

859
00:41:56,200 --> 00:41:57,919
Speaker 1: when he goes to combine. So I think I'll be fine,

860
00:41:58,920 --> 00:42:02,120
Speaker 1: But you talk about a guy a blur off the edge.

861
00:42:02,719 --> 00:42:04,799
Speaker 1: The nice thing I like about twenty three, though, Drew,

862
00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:07,279
Speaker 1: is the fact that I do think that somebody that's

863
00:42:07,280 --> 00:42:10,319
Speaker 1: in the top ten to top twelve could end up

864
00:42:10,440 --> 00:42:12,600
Speaker 1: balling down there to twenty three. You know, I've seen

865
00:42:12,680 --> 00:42:16,080
Speaker 1: some mock drafts lately that brock Bauers is falling. I've

866
00:42:16,080 --> 00:42:19,400
Speaker 1: seen somewhere in his grace, le Lots has fallen and

867
00:42:19,400 --> 00:42:21,359
Speaker 1: has been drafted beyond number twenty three.

868
00:42:21,520 --> 00:42:24,359
Speaker 6: He had three people knocking into the Texans last week.

869
00:42:24,520 --> 00:42:25,920
Speaker 2: If I have a pick, I mean, I've got a

870
00:42:25,920 --> 00:42:26,919
Speaker 2: lot to right now.

871
00:42:26,960 --> 00:42:30,600
Speaker 1: I've got a lot to at number I really like

872
00:42:30,680 --> 00:42:31,040
Speaker 1: Lot too.

873
00:42:31,040 --> 00:42:32,640
Speaker 2: I've got a lot too at number six.

874
00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:33,240
Speaker 4: Wow.

875
00:42:33,560 --> 00:42:35,080
Speaker 1: So I'm a big fan of his game, and I

876
00:42:35,120 --> 00:42:37,240
Speaker 1: just think he's got every asset. I'd love Jalen Phillips

877
00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:39,160
Speaker 1: from Miami. They got the same build, kind of same

878
00:42:39,360 --> 00:42:41,600
Speaker 1: play structure in their game, So I like a lot too,

879
00:42:41,600 --> 00:42:45,120
Speaker 1: a lot, but I think Chop would give this, you know,

880
00:42:45,320 --> 00:42:47,239
Speaker 1: rush game something that they don't really have.

881
00:42:47,360 --> 00:42:50,319
Speaker 2: Hopefully, hopefully a new time will get Dylan Horton back.

882
00:42:50,440 --> 00:42:54,319
Speaker 1: Dylan's got length, He's he's kind of like a lot

883
00:42:54,360 --> 00:42:59,080
Speaker 1: too in a sense that he's long, relentless to seventy

884
00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:02,960
Speaker 1: in that range. So he's kind of what Lats is already.

885
00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:04,600
Speaker 1: And hopefully you can get Horton back. Don't know what

886
00:43:04,640 --> 00:43:07,040
Speaker 1: happens with John Grenard, but obviously we know what what

887
00:43:07,200 --> 00:43:08,399
Speaker 1: Will can do off the edge.

888
00:43:09,360 --> 00:43:13,439
Speaker 2: Chop is just a blur. He's just speed and that's

889
00:43:13,440 --> 00:43:17,120
Speaker 2: something that Texans don't have. In fact, you could.

890
00:43:17,640 --> 00:43:19,880
Speaker 1: I'm not telling you JJ Wats Devant, Clowney, any of

891
00:43:19,920 --> 00:43:22,840
Speaker 1: those great rushers were slow, but that wasn't their asset.

892
00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:26,120
Speaker 1: That wasn't like their their main prime asset. You know

893
00:43:26,239 --> 00:43:29,480
Speaker 1: that JJ was so skilled with his hands and powerful.

894
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:32,880
Speaker 1: You know, Clowney was just a bull in a china shop.

895
00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:35,760
Speaker 1: You know, Whitley had this cadre of past rushing moves.

896
00:43:36,239 --> 00:43:39,440
Speaker 1: Chop his speed and he can bend the edge and

897
00:43:39,440 --> 00:43:41,719
Speaker 1: make life tough. So you know, you put a guy

898
00:43:41,719 --> 00:43:43,760
Speaker 1: like that opposite Will Anderson and he, you know, presents

899
00:43:43,760 --> 00:43:44,200
Speaker 1: some issue.

900
00:43:44,200 --> 00:43:46,520
Speaker 2: So Chop Robinson is one of those picks. Ju Jhn Newton.

901
00:43:47,200 --> 00:43:49,799
Speaker 1: I did actually a breakdown of his game against Penn State.

902
00:43:50,080 --> 00:43:51,840
Speaker 1: You can see that on my YouTube page at JAGE

903
00:43:51,840 --> 00:43:55,239
Speaker 1: Football Takeover. That's j H Football Takeover, and you could

904
00:43:55,239 --> 00:43:59,959
Speaker 1: see the breakdown I did. He is a wonderful athlete,

905
00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:03,480
Speaker 1: wonderful and playing inside he does things that you know

906
00:44:03,520 --> 00:44:05,280
Speaker 1: you see Chris Jones do from the Chiefs.

907
00:44:05,280 --> 00:44:06,640
Speaker 2: You see that athleticism.

908
00:44:07,440 --> 00:44:10,480
Speaker 1: But I want Newton to play with a little bit

909
00:44:10,560 --> 00:44:14,799
Speaker 1: more football violence, and I like him. I have in fact,

910
00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:17,920
Speaker 1: I have Newton probably just a shade ahead because of

911
00:44:18,880 --> 00:44:20,960
Speaker 1: ahead of what I have at number twenty. So I

912
00:44:21,000 --> 00:44:22,880
Speaker 1: have Chopped at twenty three, I have Newton at twenty.

913
00:44:23,440 --> 00:44:25,239
Speaker 1: And it's not as if I like Chop more, I

914
00:44:25,320 --> 00:44:29,320
Speaker 1: like Giorsan. I just think there is this desire to

915
00:44:29,360 --> 00:44:33,120
Speaker 1: find three hundred and three hundred and five pound of ballerinas.

916
00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:34,520
Speaker 2: That can move the way that Newton does.

917
00:44:35,560 --> 00:44:38,120
Speaker 1: And I think that I think Newton would fit in

918
00:44:38,160 --> 00:44:40,880
Speaker 1: this this defense. I think what I'd like for this

919
00:44:40,960 --> 00:44:44,040
Speaker 1: defense because there is some redundancy with some dudes that

920
00:44:44,080 --> 00:44:46,279
Speaker 1: are quick, that are about three hundred pounds and have

921
00:44:46,400 --> 00:44:49,440
Speaker 1: some twitch, like Malik Collins, you know, like Heinish and

922
00:44:49,520 --> 00:44:50,880
Speaker 1: like Khalil Davis.

923
00:44:51,719 --> 00:44:54,680
Speaker 2: What you don't have is you know, size.

924
00:44:55,040 --> 00:44:58,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, so you know it's a little, you know, a

925
00:44:58,600 --> 00:45:01,800
Speaker 1: little high for Devon ra But I watched Devandre Sweat

926
00:45:01,840 --> 00:45:05,239
Speaker 1: just break guys in half, literally break him in half

927
00:45:05,280 --> 00:45:09,279
Speaker 1: at the Senior Bowl, and that would be impressive. To

928
00:45:09,280 --> 00:45:10,719
Speaker 1: take a guy that size and put him next to

929
00:45:10,800 --> 00:45:13,960
Speaker 1: Malik guy that size, put him next to Clide Davis

930
00:45:14,080 --> 00:45:16,239
Speaker 1: or you know, whatever happens with Sheldon Rankins, et cetera.

931
00:45:17,040 --> 00:45:18,840
Speaker 1: Been a long time since we've had that size, but

932
00:45:19,080 --> 00:45:21,120
Speaker 1: when we did, when we had will Fork and Reeder

933
00:45:21,200 --> 00:45:24,320
Speaker 1: together with the number one run defense in the league.

934
00:45:25,080 --> 00:45:26,880
Speaker 2: So I'm not saying that size has.

935
00:45:26,760 --> 00:45:28,480
Speaker 1: Got to be all of it, but I wouldn't mind

936
00:45:28,480 --> 00:45:31,000
Speaker 1: having a little bit more size than we have up front.

937
00:45:31,680 --> 00:45:35,439
Speaker 1: And you know, a guy like Tovandre Sweat is definitely worthy.

938
00:45:35,440 --> 00:45:38,680
Speaker 1: I've got my number thirty thirty nine right now. Now

939
00:45:38,920 --> 00:45:42,359
Speaker 1: those numbers are are you know, probably a little bit,

940
00:45:42,800 --> 00:45:43,959
Speaker 1: you know, but I just wanted to get.

941
00:45:43,840 --> 00:45:44,680
Speaker 2: An initial setting.

942
00:45:44,680 --> 00:45:46,279
Speaker 1: And I've been following these guys throughout the year, which

943
00:45:46,280 --> 00:45:48,479
Speaker 1: you know, so I feel pretty good about where they are.

944
00:45:49,040 --> 00:45:50,920
Speaker 1: And look what you know at number thirty nine, you know,

945
00:45:51,480 --> 00:45:53,160
Speaker 1: Andandre Sweat is a candidate for twenty three.

946
00:45:53,160 --> 00:45:54,319
Speaker 2: Now, I do think he has to lose some weight

947
00:45:54,360 --> 00:45:54,959
Speaker 2: and do some things.

948
00:45:54,960 --> 00:45:59,439
Speaker 1: But Chop Robinson, Johnny Gujon Newton and by the way,

949
00:45:59,520 --> 00:46:02,880
Speaker 1: Lovey Smith recruited John Newton. And I think he's a

950
00:46:02,920 --> 00:46:05,360
Speaker 1: Floridian if I remember correctly, So that always matters to me.

951
00:46:05,560 --> 00:46:07,840
Speaker 1: Where they played high school ball always matters. And I Thinkorida,

952
00:46:08,200 --> 00:46:12,840
Speaker 1: Florida man, Yeah to Jaun Clearwater, such a Catholic in Florida,

953
00:46:12,920 --> 00:46:16,440
Speaker 1: So Florida man aren't bad, but those would be some

954
00:46:16,440 --> 00:46:17,160
Speaker 1: pretty good options.

955
00:46:17,160 --> 00:46:18,560
Speaker 2: I thought about a receiver, and I thought, you.

956
00:46:18,520 --> 00:46:22,360
Speaker 8: Know, well, hold on, hold on, hold, Okay, So either

957
00:46:22,440 --> 00:46:23,719
Speaker 8: or say they're both available.

958
00:46:24,280 --> 00:46:26,919
Speaker 6: Shop for Newton, you go with Chop.

959
00:46:27,120 --> 00:46:29,320
Speaker 1: I'd go Chop, Okay, even though I have Newton ahead,

960
00:46:29,640 --> 00:46:32,680
Speaker 1: like overall rankings, I think Chop would be a really

961
00:46:32,800 --> 00:46:33,680
Speaker 1: interesting fit. Me.

962
00:46:34,040 --> 00:46:36,880
Speaker 8: Let me ask you this then. Let's because I do

963
00:46:36,960 --> 00:46:40,719
Speaker 8: these mock draft simulators and the names that pop up

964
00:46:40,719 --> 00:46:43,200
Speaker 8: that seem to fall in quote unquote yeah to the

965
00:46:43,239 --> 00:46:46,920
Speaker 8: Texans a time or two. It's from this group, Chop

966
00:46:47,080 --> 00:46:49,640
Speaker 8: and Newton, and so obviously you got chopped. So from

967
00:46:49,640 --> 00:46:50,719
Speaker 8: this group, who would you take?

968
00:46:50,920 --> 00:46:51,280
Speaker 6: First?

Speaker 8: Shop Byron Murphy the second, the defensive tackle from Texas.

Speaker 8: He's around there. Brian Thomas, the wide receiver from LA.

971
00:47:00,440 --> 00:47:02,120
