1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,840 Speaker 1: All right, we'll keep it going on the news at noon, 2 00:00:01,879 --> 00:00:04,400 but we will keep it with the Texans as well. 3 00:00:04,559 --> 00:00:07,240 Speaker 2: Here's what Tamiko Ryans had to say. 4 00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,679 Speaker 1: About all that outside noise about not making a deal 5 00:00:10,919 --> 00:00:12,720 on deadline day. 6 00:00:12,919 --> 00:00:15,439 Speaker 3: No, I didn't emphasize anything to our team like we 7 00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:18,559 have the guys we have. I mean, everybody thinks the 8 00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:21,600 trade day line comes and you're gonna just, you know, 9 00:00:22,359 --> 00:00:25,480 find this guy who's gonna save your team. I don't 10 00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:28,800 see it that way, right, Transactions were made across the league, 11 00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:32,759 and there has to be two parties available to do 12 00:00:32,799 --> 00:00:37,000 a trade. Everybody's antsy about trades. It's not just us 13 00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:38,240 going and. 14 00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:39,359 Speaker 2: Taking somebody from another team. 15 00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:42,399 Speaker 3: People have to be available, and people at the trade 16 00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:45,399 has to be on good terms for everyone. So I 17 00:00:45,439 --> 00:00:49,320 know everybody's in an uproar about us trading at the deadline. 18 00:00:49,359 --> 00:00:53,280 It's like it's not from a lack of us working 19 00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:55,960 to get our team better and improve our team. But 20 00:00:56,039 --> 00:00:58,439 there's no savior coming to save our team. And there 21 00:00:58,439 --> 00:01:00,479 has to be two parties involved in trading. 22 00:01:01,079 --> 00:01:03,560 Speaker 1: Takes two to tango. No savior on the way anyways, 23 00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:07,400 Matthew and no deal made major deal anyways, but meanwhile, 24 00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:09,799 plenty of other teams are in the NFL that were 25 00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:13,000 contenders made deals to get themselves better, including the Lions, 26 00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:14,159 who will be here on Sunday. 27 00:01:14,599 --> 00:01:18,400 Speaker 2: I think that is kind of. 28 00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:22,640 Speaker 1: That's what's more telling to me is that, Yeah, Okay, 29 00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:25,920 you can say, look the deadlines years ago, there would 30 00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:27,599 be hardly we wouldn't talk about. 31 00:01:27,359 --> 00:01:30,560 Speaker 4: The NFL right now, NFL was the worst one. Yeah, 32 00:01:30,719 --> 00:01:34,159 but there's more activity imber in the last five years. 33 00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:39,959 Speaker 1: Jets, However, other many teams we can point to they 34 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,640 they tried to improve their team at the deadline. Lyons 35 00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:45,120 who are coming in here. They traded for this Zadarius Smith. 36 00:01:45,159 --> 00:01:47,799 I mean a lot. I would say more than not 37 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,719 the top Super Bowl contenders traded for a piece to 38 00:01:50,799 --> 00:01:52,120 improve their team for this year. 39 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:54,359 Speaker 2: Yep, the Texans did not. 40 00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:59,280 Speaker 1: And here is what here's actually Nick Cassario, this from 41 00:01:59,319 --> 00:02:03,159 Texans me. Here's what he had to say about the 42 00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:04,040 trade deadline. 43 00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:05,439 Speaker 2: Not being a roster. 44 00:02:05,159 --> 00:02:09,000 Speaker 5: Builder, usually much ado about nothing. So essentially, a lot 45 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,240 of players, you're a lot of players that get moved. 46 00:02:11,439 --> 00:02:13,759 A are on a kind of expiring type contracts. B 47 00:02:14,879 --> 00:02:17,960 hasn't worked out with their team. Most of it is 48 00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:22,039 kind of late round picks some flips. Essentially, you saw 49 00:02:22,039 --> 00:02:23,960 a few trades there with a compensation. Maybe it was 50 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,520 a little bit bigger than what it was, but you're 51 00:02:26,599 --> 00:02:28,599 kind of looking at your team. There's an opportunity to 52 00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:31,159 add a player that you have a specific defined role for. 53 00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:34,360 Great if not, it's just you know, you're not going 54 00:02:34,439 --> 00:02:36,240 to do something just to do something, just to create 55 00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:37,080 a bunch of busy work. 56 00:02:37,319 --> 00:02:40,360 Speaker 1: But you're not doing that. That's my point is you're 57 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:42,919 not doing it just to do busy work. You're doing 58 00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:47,919 it because your team is a contender for the AFC, right, correct, 59 00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:50,439 You're keeping go You need to keep up with the Joneses. 60 00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,159 We talk about this with baseball. That sounded like somebody 61 00:02:53,199 --> 00:02:56,680 that was I don't even know what that sounded like, 62 00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,599 but that was just terrible words once again, terrible nick 63 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:01,199 word salad again. 64 00:03:01,319 --> 00:03:02,400 Speaker 2: Usually much to do about nothing. 65 00:03:02,439 --> 00:03:04,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, that's what you said. Your quotes are typically 66 00:03:05,879 --> 00:03:07,319 how do you get behind this guy? 67 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,240 Speaker 4: You know what, prove us wrong? Prove us wrong. 68 00:03:14,319 --> 00:03:16,360 Speaker 1: That's just not the right the way to attack that 69 00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:17,599 that question and topic. 70 00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:18,199 Speaker 2: You should say. 71 00:03:18,199 --> 00:03:21,280 Speaker 1: Look, we tried to have some conversations substenced conversations. Were 72 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:23,520 always looking to improve the team, but we felt the 73 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:27,840 prices were too high to to to try and make 74 00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:30,479 this team better, which we want to do. But at 75 00:03:30,479 --> 00:03:32,120 the end of the day, the draft compensation was a 76 00:03:32,159 --> 00:03:33,199 little too much for our blood. 77 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:33,960 Speaker 4: We're gonna play this. 78 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,199 Speaker 1: We're gonna play this comment again and you guys can 79 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,599 jump in at seven, one, three, two, five, seven. Honey, 80 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:41,639 was this a guy that was just trying to brush 81 00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:44,240 it off or was this a guy seriously perhaps on 82 00:03:44,319 --> 00:03:46,280 the phones until the very last second, here's the comment. 83 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:48,240 Speaker 2: Usually much ado about nothing. 84 00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:51,280 Speaker 5: So essentially, a lot of players, you're a lot of 85 00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:53,280 players that get moved a are on a kind of 86 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:57,639 expiring type contracts, be hasn't worked out with their team. 87 00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,599 Most of it is kind of late round on pigs, 88 00:04:00,719 --> 00:04:03,919 some flips. Essentially, you saw if you trades there with 89 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:05,919 a compensation maybe was a little bit bigger than what 90 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:06,360 it was. 91 00:04:06,439 --> 00:04:08,680 Speaker 2: But you're kind of looking at your team. 92 00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:10,719 Speaker 5: There's an opportunity to add a player that you have 93 00:04:10,759 --> 00:04:12,120 a specific, defined role for. 94 00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 4: Great. 95 00:04:13,159 --> 00:04:15,520 Speaker 5: If not, it's just you know, you're not going to 96 00:04:15,599 --> 00:04:17,319 do something just to do something, just to create a 97 00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:18,120 bunch of busy work. 98 00:04:18,319 --> 00:04:22,680 Speaker 1: Okay, you know what. That's your guy that thinks that 99 00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:26,360 everything is just fine. That is going to have CJ. 100 00:04:26,519 --> 00:04:29,040 Stroud picked up by a spatul law before the end 101 00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:30,600 of the season and scooped off the field. 102 00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:33,800 Speaker 2: That's that's what he is. 103 00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:34,800 Speaker 4: That's what it is. 104 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:37,560 Speaker 1: Give him credit for draft picks, although that offensive line 105 00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:41,759 is a mess. Give him credit for tanking Tank Dell 106 00:04:41,959 --> 00:04:44,439 for going c J. Stroud, for the picking up with 107 00:04:44,519 --> 00:04:48,279 Joe Mixon, Stefan Diggs was a nice tribe. 108 00:04:48,319 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 4: But that's ultimately not going to pan out. 109 00:04:50,439 --> 00:04:56,199 Speaker 1: But your general manager just word salad, you to We're 110 00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:57,680 not doing it just to do it. 111 00:04:58,120 --> 00:04:58,680 Speaker 2: You don't. 112 00:04:58,759 --> 00:05:00,399 Speaker 4: You don't do it just to do it. 113 00:05:00,439 --> 00:05:03,800 Speaker 1: You do it because you need help.

It's difficult, 197 00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:13,960 and I think he's gotten done a good job. He's 198 00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:16,120 built a good team, but I want him to do 199 00:09:16,159 --> 00:09:21,080 a great job. Okay, And we would have said the 200 00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:22,799 exact same thing of Dani Brown would have sat on 201 00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:25,240 his hands when James Click didn't set on his hands, 202 00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:28,080 when Jeff Lintell certainly didn't set on his hands. Sarah 203 00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:30,720 just said, man, we're good. Can you say Cacuci play 204 00:09:30,759 --> 00:09:31,200 left guard? 205 00:09:31,279 --> 00:09:34,559 Speaker 2: Let's go. That wouldn't be bad, can't be worse than 206 00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:35,120 Kingyon Green. 207 00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:39,360 Speaker 1: Again, I don't have a dog in this fight, but 208 00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:42,000 let's just show you that I have a Maybe I 209 00:09:42,039 --> 00:09:43,799 do have a dog in this fight. Maybe I want 210 00:09:43,799 --> 00:09:46,440 to see the Texans do something they've never done in 211 00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:49,519 their franchise as a history. Instead, I got a guy 212 00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:52,039 who's justifying, well, it's just a lot of extra work. 213 00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:53,279 Speaker 4: That's what your job is. 214 00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:56,799 Speaker 1: The great general managers find ways to get better in 215 00:09:56,799 --> 00:09:57,360 the middle. 216 00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:57,679 Speaker 4: Of a season. 217 00:09:57,879 --> 00:10:00,840 Speaker 2: They just do tell me. 218 00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:03,480 Speaker 1: I don't know what the I can't help you. I 219 00:10:03,519 --> 00:10:05,759 don't know what conversations Nick had. I don't know what 220 00:10:05,879 --> 00:10:08,440 kind of compensation people were asking for left guards. I 221 00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:10,840 think people do know that they were perhaps there was 222 00:10:10,879 --> 00:10:13,759 an air of desperation, and then when when well, they're 223 00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:19,399 they're absolutely correct. No, Dicks didn't have any desperation. He 224 00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:22,120 would have made a move. So the only thing I 225 00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:24,440 look and I'm just you're just asking me to give 226 00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:26,279 you a reason. And the only reason I can think 227 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:30,440 of is basically, first of all, if Nickosario believes what 228 00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:34,120 he said, if he believes that the trade deadline. 229 00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:36,559 Speaker 4: Is this you usually want to do about nothing, and. 230 00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:40,480 Speaker 1: He's not been paying attention. He's not He's he's got 231 00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:43,240 his head in the sand. This is not twenty years 232 00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:46,919 ago when the trade deadline was much ado about nothing. 233 00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:49,519 He's not paying attention to what the Steelers and the 234 00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:52,480 Chiefs and the Bills and the Jets and all these 235 00:10:52,519 --> 00:10:55,360 other teams are doing to try and improve their teams. 236 00:10:55,919 --> 00:10:58,720 That's what That's what does trouble me about those comments. 237 00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:01,159 If he came out and said we were working hard 238 00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:03,600 day and night, burned in the candle at both ends, 239 00:11:03,879 --> 00:11:06,080 but we couldn't come up with the deal that was 240 00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:09,200 right for us, and and and when the deadline came 241 00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:13,039 and unfortunately we fell short. That was one thing, but 242 00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:15,240 to say it's nothing and completely brush it off a 243 00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:21,480 lot of aspiring contract I mean, he knows his team 244 00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:23,440 better than I do. I'm not going to hide that. 245 00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:27,120 But the results are everybody has two as a pair 246 00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:30,480 of eyes. We watched the Sunday games, we watched the 247 00:11:30,519 --> 00:11:34,639 demeanor of Stride. By his own admittance this week, said 248 00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:36,840 his team needs are having fun again. You know the 249 00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:38,480 reason why'm not having fun is because he's running for 250 00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:43,000 his life. He's running for his life. Greg on seven ninety, 251 00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:44,240 thanks for holding good afternoon. 252 00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:49,279 Speaker 8: Hey, Thanks thanks Matt, Thanks Bross, thanks thanking the call. Hey, look, 253 00:11:49,639 --> 00:11:54,039 you know the comment about just made are that y'all played? 254 00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:57,279 I mean, come on, we finally, we finally have a 255 00:11:57,320 --> 00:11:59,639 team that has, like you said, that had the chance 256 00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:02,759 to do something that they've never done before, and to 257 00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:05,960 sit back and blow it off as a oh, just 258 00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:08,279 too much to do? You know about nothing that that? 259 00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:10,600 Oh my gosh, I don't know about you I mean, 260 00:12:10,639 --> 00:12:12,919 you hit it right, Matt. I mean, I'm with you 261 00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:16,639 on this one. I'm a little bit upset being a fan, 262 00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:20,200 I mean a long time fan of football here in Houston, 263 00:12:20,799 --> 00:12:23,360 and we get that. I mean, come one, and you 264 00:12:23,399 --> 00:12:26,360 can tell by see James demeanor. Like you said, he's 265 00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:29,200 definitely not the same person that he was at the 266 00:12:29,279 --> 00:12:31,519 end of last year or at the beginning of this year. 267 00:12:32,159 --> 00:12:34,840 So I just, you know, props to you on that. 268 00:12:34,919 --> 00:12:36,480 I mean, you hit it on your head. You hit 269 00:12:36,519 --> 00:12:39,039 it on the head, and uh, you know, keep up 270 00:12:39,039 --> 00:12:39,879 the good work, you guys. 271 00:12:41,879 --> 00:12:42,360 Speaker 4: Yeah, thank you. 272 00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:47,960 Speaker 1: What ross would you said a minute ago makes absolutely 273 00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:51,399 one er percent sense. We we burn them in at all. 274 00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:54,039 We tried, We we you know, we love our guys, 275 00:12:54,039 --> 00:12:55,360 but we know we've got to guess in the fixed 276 00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:57,679 problem is we just couldn't get the guy we wanted, 277 00:12:57,879 --> 00:13:00,799 or the expectations of what we were willing to give 278 00:13:00,879 --> 00:13:02,960 up were too high. I can buile that because we've 279 00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:05,399 heard that before from other general managers. But he treated 280 00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:07,399 it like it was he was filling out a form 281 00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:09,440 and page nine of his tax form and didn't want 282 00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:10,679 to fill it out because it doesn't cost him a 283 00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:15,360 few extra minutes. I mean, my god, yeah, well you 284 00:13:15,519 --> 00:13:18,919 just yeah, unless unless he's I don't mean to have 285 00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:22,759 a pun here keeping it close to the vest. It's 286 00:13:22,919 --> 00:13:25,039 it's like, I'm gonna make an analogy. Man, let's know this, 287 00:13:25,279 --> 00:13:27,080 This would be better than mind. Bought something and there's like 288 00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:29,279 a five dollars rebate, and he's explaining to his wife 289 00:13:29,279 --> 00:13:31,639 why he didn't bother mailing in the five dollars rebates. 290 00:13:31,799 --> 00:13:33,440 Speaker 2: I was just five dollars. It's not a big deal. 291 00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:35,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, at the end of the day, it would have 292 00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:37,519 been better to have the five dollars, but it's it's 293 00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:39,320 not something I'm really overly concerned about. 294 00:13:39,799 --> 00:13:40,799 Speaker 2: That's what he sounded like. 295 00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:47,200 Speaker 4: That was an average phnalogy. Thank you, better than Mind, 296 00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:49,600 though I could wish it was nothing, which is zero. 297 00:13:50,159 --> 00:13:52,559 Speaker 1: Robert and Stafford at twelve twenty six on seven on 298 00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:54,720 a HILLO Robert. 299 00:13:54,080 --> 00:14:02,080 Speaker 8: Oh, I hi, I'll get here anyway, George Blanda anyway. Well, 300 00:14:02,159 --> 00:14:03,080 I'm just want to get. 301 00:14:04,919 --> 00:14:05,600 Speaker 9: That guy needs to. 302 00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:07,399 Speaker 4: Put his job on the line, that's all. 303 00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:09,519 Speaker 8: It's just scared that as long. 304 00:14:09,399 --> 00:14:11,919 Speaker 1: As the other king is going fine, he can doesn't 305 00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:14,039 worry about it. But everything it's gonna be going down here. 306 00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:14,759 Speaker 8: That's not gonna be no. 307 00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:18,159 Speaker 4: Maybe wait this or that and listen to our quarterback. 308 00:14:18,519 --> 00:14:20,799 Speaker 1: I mean, well we ever get to get another you 309 00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:22,600 know chance like that. 310 00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:23,840 Speaker 2: It just happened. 311 00:14:24,679 --> 00:14:29,480 Speaker 4: So but it's just it's very you know, up said 312 00:14:29,519 --> 00:14:30,919 he uh. 313 00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:32,200 Speaker 1: Maybe we don't lose something. 314 00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:33,799 Speaker 9: Maybe I don't know if this is that. 315 00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:36,960 Speaker 8: But they're talking about somebody get hurt, you think. 316 00:14:36,879 --> 00:14:37,559 Speaker 2: Don't want to come back. 317 00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:38,519 Speaker 9: You can't do all them things. 318 00:14:38,519 --> 00:14:41,159 Speaker 4: So just yeah, we let you go, Rober. 319 00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:43,480 Speaker 1: You got a very bad connection, probably our fault. And 320 00:14:43,519 --> 00:14:48,879 I apologize for that in advance if I don't, if 321 00:14:48,879 --> 00:14:53,000 I honestly, Ross, I'm I'm upset at us that we 322 00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:56,279 didn't play that sound bite earlier because we were worried 323 00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:57,360 about trying to get revved up. 324 00:14:57,399 --> 00:14:58,200 Speaker 4: That would have reaved me up. 325 00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:00,120 Speaker 1: If we pay that coming at ten o'clock this morning, 326 00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:03,919 you are fired up, man, I am, I'm seriously and 327 00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:11,840 it's I mean, I've been around a lot of great 328 00:15:11,879 --> 00:15:14,000 general managers, and Nick's a good general manager. Nick is 329 00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:16,759 getting a good grade. He is not a poor general manager. 330 00:15:17,679 --> 00:15:26,879 Not perfect Kenyan Green first round, not perfect. No, but 331 00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:30,360 what's the end game here? And I'm stunned that Hannah 332 00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:32,240 wouldn't have gone in there and said something like I 333 00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:33,840 thought she was going to say. 334 00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:37,080 Speaker 4: This is also what I believe they think. 335 00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:37,960 Speaker 2: I think. 336 00:15:39,639 --> 00:15:41,480 Speaker 1: Vegas says they're only three and a half point dogs 337 00:15:41,519 --> 00:15:43,559 to what we think is this offensive force that is 338 00:15:43,559 --> 00:15:46,840 going to drop fifty on them if they believe in 339 00:15:46,879 --> 00:15:50,799 that building that they can correct the things that have 340 00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:54,480 been ailing the offensive line. You've still got CJ. Stroud. 341 00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:57,320 Doesn't look like Nico Collins is coming back. But you're 342 00:15:57,399 --> 00:16:00,200 established a run with Nicocollins, and you have put on 343 00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:02,720 a good defensive performance, and you went on Sunday Night football. 344 00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:05,000 If they win as a three and a half point dog, 345 00:16:05,039 --> 00:16:08,360 which happens all the time in sports, then we're sitting 346 00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:11,080 here on high But I don't give two craps about 347 00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:13,279 what Vegas thinks about this week. I think about what 348 00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:16,519 the city Houston in the NFL thinks about in January. 349 00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:19,200 This has never been about a week to week basis. 350 00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:22,000 For me. This is about doing something that you built. 351 00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:25,399 You went and got all the defensive guys in the offseason. 352 00:16:25,919 --> 00:16:28,360 You went and got Joe Mixon, you went and got 353 00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:32,240 Stefan Diggs. You didn't expect everybody to be healthy. 354 00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:32,759 Speaker 2: He didn't. 355 00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:35,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, but if you win the Super Bowl, it could 356 00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:40,720 be the likelihood. The Lions are who you're facing. Yeah, 357 00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:42,559 so trying. 358 00:16:42,639 --> 00:16:43,960 Speaker 2: I'm just trying to tell you what they're thinking. 359 00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:46,120 Speaker 1: I don't necessary but no, no, no, I don't like to 360 00:16:46,159 --> 00:16:48,120 have seen them improve the team. I think they should 361 00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:50,480 have made a deal. What this signifies to me, and 362 00:16:50,519 --> 00:16:53,240 the fact that Nikosario is being so dismissive, is that 363 00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:55,039 they believe in their guys. Now, well that turned out 364 00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:57,600 to be true.

Matt Thomas on Sports Talk seven ninety. 387 00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:23,400 Speaker 1: I want a better analogy than your five dollars rebate. 388 00:18:24,079 --> 00:18:26,680 I just I'm not able to give you one ten 389 00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:30,839 dollars rebate. How about this? 390 00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:33,920 Speaker 4: You got it? You were recent laid off from your job? 391 00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:35,559 Speaker 1: What not? 392 00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:35,880 Speaker 4: You? 393 00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:38,400 Speaker 1: Oh man, I wouldn't be surprised, but that's a different 394 00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:41,079 issue for a different time. Thanks and uh you get 395 00:18:41,079 --> 00:18:43,720 to clem on and plumb insurance. But it's a big 396 00:18:43,799 --> 00:18:46,319 logistical nightmare. Sign i't want to fill it out paperwork 397 00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:49,359 that's way worse. Okay, that's I'm saying. I'm not good 398 00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:52,160 with analogy because they're trying to incrementally improve the team employment. 399 00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:55,319 That'd be your whole that'd be your whole income at 400 00:18:55,319 --> 00:18:59,000 that moment. So Noel Anderson and no Nico Collins. At 401 00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:01,079 this point, Nico probably not gonna play on Sunday. It 402 00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:03,079 doesn't seem like it right if he hadn't, he hadn't 403 00:19:03,079 --> 00:19:03,720 practiced today. 404 00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:04,799 Speaker 4: They gave me in Pierce. 405 00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:07,519 Speaker 1: They haven't even designated for a return for him to 406 00:19:07,559 --> 00:19:10,200 return and open his window. Sometimes they open window on 407 00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:12,279 players and they don't. Jonathan Brooks a couple of week, 408 00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:14,799 three weeks ago, they opened up his window and now 409 00:19:14,799 --> 00:19:16,279 they're just activating him. 410 00:19:16,799 --> 00:19:17,039 Speaker 2: TJ. 411 00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:19,519 Speaker 1: Hockinson on the Vikings, he was at his window open 412 00:19:19,519 --> 00:19:21,640 for a couple of weeks. They don't haven't even open 413 00:19:21,759 --> 00:19:30,880 Nico's window. I'm concerned. I'm confused because Aaron Wilson's tweet 414 00:19:31,039 --> 00:19:35,240 was ready to go. Yeah, it's Aaron Wilson's fault. Yeah, 415 00:19:35,319 --> 00:19:38,680 let's get him on to get well, he's Alanos on 416 00:19:38,759 --> 00:19:39,799 other shows. 417 00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:41,720 Speaker 4: I guess we can have him on if you want to. 418 00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:47,119 Speaker 2: Yeah, what what other show. Shawn's does it going with 419 00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:48,039 Aaron Sean? I don't know. 420 00:19:48,079 --> 00:19:52,279 Speaker 4: I think so okay, Well we'll take the clips. 421 00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:56,000 Speaker 1: Willie in the Heights on seven nine of your twelve 422 00:19:56,079 --> 00:19:58,519 thirty six high willing ah. 423 00:19:58,599 --> 00:20:01,200 Speaker 4: Y'all doing good, man. 424 00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:05,359 Speaker 9: I listened to You'll Show as much as possible, and 425 00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:09,839 I'm just devastated with these texts. Here are two things 426 00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:13,440 I got to say. Nicks served got a pretty good 427 00:20:13,519 --> 00:20:18,000 job early on. Nickoserve need to be fired. Offenseve lineman 428 00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:23,559 need to be fired. And I just don't know they 429 00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:27,079 planning the Detroit Allowne this week? The best team it is, 430 00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:30,920 which which if you had pretty much everybody held it 431 00:20:31,079 --> 00:20:34,680 was gonna be hard to beat this team. But man, 432 00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:38,759 I'm just sick to my stoma if it ever was 433 00:20:38,799 --> 00:20:41,960 a team that's we're trying to give a team a win. 434 00:20:42,559 --> 00:20:44,640 Speaker 2: Last week is with the Jets. 435 00:20:45,039 --> 00:20:48,960 Speaker 9: They did everything possible to give a Texan a win 436 00:20:49,559 --> 00:20:52,720 and they still come away with the lungs. Man, I'm 437 00:20:52,799 --> 00:20:56,279 just sick to my stommer with what these Texans doing. 438 00:20:56,440 --> 00:21:01,440 Speaker 1: Well, I'm not look. Will he took a calculated risk. 439 00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:03,960 I don't agree with it. Thank you for the call. 440 00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:07,319 By the way, I wouldn't say I'm sick to my stomach. 441 00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:14,119 This is not a travesty. This to me, just like 442 00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:17,440 a lot of teams, the trade deadline in baseball is 443 00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:23,759 a big missed opportunity, and it's opening yourself up for 444 00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:29,039 second guessing both ways. If CJ stays upright, offensive line improves, 445 00:21:29,839 --> 00:21:33,880 you have whoever's gonna be wide receiver opposite tank doing 446 00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:36,319 some things you're not worried about going to get somebody 447 00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:40,319 else in the passing game. If the line holds up 448 00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:46,839 and you know, whatever combination is out there, Kendrick Green, Patterson, 449 00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:50,799 whatever keeps CJ app right, it's a win win. I 450 00:21:50,839 --> 00:21:53,079 got another analogy for you. Okay, this is going to 451 00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:56,519 be the best of the three. Maybe not go ahead. 452 00:21:56,640 --> 00:22:00,680 Nick Kissario has a car. This car can get him 453 00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:04,640 A to B. It has issues, especially the last few weeks, 454 00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:10,799 so he's looking at new cars, but he just didn't 455 00:22:11,079 --> 00:22:14,880 find the right deal to pull the trigger on the 456 00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:16,920 The interest rate was a little bit too high on 457 00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:19,759 the loan, so he decided to stay pat for now. 458 00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:21,240 Speaker 2: It's going to. 459 00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:24,880 Speaker 1: Cost him up too much down the road to improve. 460 00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:29,759 Right at this moment, the warning light goes on much 461 00:22:30,599 --> 00:22:33,319 chak engine light goes on quite a bit. Yes, but 462 00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:36,480 it turns off occasionally, and it still runs, and the 463 00:22:36,559 --> 00:22:40,960 vehicle still goes and you got a good driver, and 464 00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:44,200 the one and the and the oil pressure shows below 465 00:22:44,279 --> 00:22:46,640 normal but not in that red danger area. 466 00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:49,880 Speaker 2: Yes, how about that. 467 00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:52,279 Speaker 4: That's the best, the best of a bad situation. 468 00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:57,000 Speaker 2: Thank you, and thanks for calling in. Willie. 469 00:22:59,759 --> 00:23:01,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel like Yeah, the way Willie talks, he's 470 00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:03,599 got some good stories about the good old days. Let 471 00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:05,279 me tell you something. I want to go and have 472 00:23:05,759 --> 00:23:08,160 a little sip of bourbon with Willie. Okay, now we're 473 00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:10,720 not gonna go. We're gonna sip off. You gotta splash 474 00:23:10,799 --> 00:23:12,880 cherry sprite in it. You don't drink anything without like 475 00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:17,559 some kind of fruit water. I don't believe you, bourbon branch. 476 00:23:17,599 --> 00:23:19,079 When's the last time you had a bourbon water? 477 00:23:20,039 --> 00:23:20,559 Speaker 4: Been a while? 478 00:23:20,759 --> 00:23:22,839 Speaker 2: He never in your life? 479 00:23:23,279 --> 00:23:24,440 Speaker 4: Howbout we do whiskey instead? 480 00:23:24,839 --> 00:23:27,359 Speaker 2: Okay, well, whiskey is a bourbon? Bourbon is whiskey? 481 00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:29,240 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's it's very confusing. 482 00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:32,480 Speaker 2: I know you going Kentucky straight. 483 00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:36,079 Speaker 1: Mmm. No, I'm gonna but Willie and I are gonna 484 00:23:36,079 --> 00:23:37,640 sip on it. We're gonna talk about this, and I 485 00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:39,359 don't want to be discussed. I want to be disappointed, 486 00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:41,079 but not discussed. You can have a cigar too. 487 00:23:42,079 --> 00:23:42,920 Speaker 4: But I'll tell you this. 488 00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:46,079 Speaker 1: Uh yeah, or I'll just I'll just have a Swiss 489 00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:47,559 sweet in my mouth and just chew on it. 490 00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:49,480 Speaker 2: That's weird. I'm just telling you. 491 00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:53,359 Speaker 1: The same guessing is were there, and you know what, 492 00:23:53,519 --> 00:23:55,240 here's what I'll do, and I'll mark I'm marking it 493 00:23:55,279 --> 00:23:56,960 here on November the seventh time I'm wrong. If the 494 00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:59,680 everything works out well and the Texans reached new plateaus 495 00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:03,279 at least AFC Championship game, I will apologize on air. 496 00:24:03,839 --> 00:24:04,279 Speaker 2: I can do that. 497 00:24:04,279 --> 00:24:06,039 Speaker 1: I'm okay with that. This is not a hot take. 498 00:24:06,279 --> 00:24:09,599 This is me being realist here. I will throw a 499 00:24:09,599 --> 00:24:11,480 statement at you and you can choose to buy or 500 00:24:11,519 --> 00:24:13,920 sell it. I don't know if it's true either. Is 501 00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:16,160 this a vote of confidence in Jarrett Patterson? 502 00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:22,039 Speaker 4: You better not be? 503 00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:23,079 Speaker 2: Why not? 504 00:24:23,839 --> 00:24:24,559 Speaker 4: Friend of mine? 505 00:24:25,079 --> 00:24:25,400 Speaker 2: Oh? 506 00:24:25,599 --> 00:24:28,519 Speaker 1: Friend of the show. Oh you could say that. Okay, 507 00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:34,039 he's an offensive line guru. Okay, doesn't like him. 508 00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:38,680 Speaker 2: Is this the same friend that really likes Kenyon Green though? Yes? Okay, 509 00:24:39,599 --> 00:24:40,839 but that guy knows his stuff. 510 00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:44,039 Speaker 1: Yes, that guy told me because we were talking about it. 511 00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:46,240 Just keep a couple of nights ago. Really will were 512 00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:51,720 you guys talking? He called me really, Oh, I know why. 513 00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:53,839 You really don't know the real reason why, but it 514 00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:56,519 was part of the conversation. Okay, Rich and Katie on 515 00:24:56,599 --> 00:24:58,240 seven out of your Towel forty one high. 516 00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:00,359 Speaker 2: Rich, how you doing good? 517 00:25:01,519 --> 00:25:01,720 Speaker 3: Great? 518 00:25:01,759 --> 00:25:04,680 Speaker 6: Hey listen, been listening to your show for a long time. 519 00:25:04,759 --> 00:25:06,880 Love it, But just wanted to give you my two 520 00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:10,559 cents on the situation with offensive line and people calling 521 00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:14,119 in and talking about Nick's got to go and buy everybody. 522 00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:16,799 I'm sure the Texans have a plan. 523 00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:19,039 Speaker 5: They don't have the one year plan. 524 00:25:19,039 --> 00:25:20,920 Speaker 6: They probably have two, three, four or five year plan. 525 00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:23,680 Speaker 2: And what I've been. 526 00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:25,319 Speaker 6: Saying the last couple of weeks, got to have two 527 00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:27,759 to tango when it comes to a trade. And I'm 528 00:25:27,799 --> 00:25:31,400 sure Nick, again, in my opinion, these other teams have 529 00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:34,559 been probably asking for quite a bit in return. So 530 00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:37,200 I think Nick is trying to do the best he 531 00:25:37,279 --> 00:25:40,799 can with what they've done over the off season and 532 00:25:40,839 --> 00:25:44,119 what's happened this year. And I just think he doesn't 533 00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:46,920 want to give up a lot of trade capital my opinion, 534 00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:52,319 but to call for firing him. And plus two, you 535 00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:55,680 bring in a lineman gotta take a least probably a 536 00:25:55,759 --> 00:25:59,119 week or two, even if he's a veteran to understand 537 00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:01,680 the calls and what's going going on. So take time 538 00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:05,759 to for an offensive line to jail. And uh, here's lastly, 539 00:26:05,799 --> 00:26:09,200 I'll say this. I think if the Texans can get 540 00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:13,079 out of the regular season without any more major injuries 541 00:26:14,039 --> 00:26:16,880 and work on this offensive line in other areas that 542 00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:18,839 you know, it's that's why they call it a season. 543 00:26:19,559 --> 00:26:22,559 They get into the playoffs with that offensive line playing 544 00:26:22,599 --> 00:26:26,440 a little bit better, more efficient for TECHDJ who knows 545 00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:29,640 what happened at the dance And uh, that's all I 546 00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:30,079 can say. 547 00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:31,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, by the way, I want to make sure that 548 00:26:31,599 --> 00:26:33,559 people can turn in and out. I'm not calling for 549 00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:35,720 nicosso will be fired a caller did that. I want 550 00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:37,759 to make sure I'm very clear. I think Nick Cassaro 551 00:26:37,799 --> 00:26:43,119 has done, generally speaking, a very good job. You can't 552 00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:47,359 be thinking about the future about there's nothing about the 553 00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:51,119 future that says sixth and seventh round picks and fifth 554 00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:56,680 round picks create your future high end prospects in minor 555 00:26:56,759 --> 00:27:01,079 league baseball. That's your future. Fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh round 556 00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:04,000 picks add layers to your team, and you can find 557 00:27:04,039 --> 00:27:07,680 a you know, a you can find the starters in 558 00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:09,920 those late rounds. It's certainly very impossible, but no one 559 00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:13,240 builds their team around giving up an extra fifth round pick. 560 00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:16,359 And to be really honest, not that I've looked at 561 00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:19,240 every NFL trade so far, but it feels like the 562 00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:20,799 number of trades that have happened so far in a 563 00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:24,839 very active pre trade deadline season have not involved first 564 00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:27,119 or second round selections. I think there was maybe a third, 565 00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:30,000 It was maybe given somebody, but it's mostly people think 566 00:27:30,279 --> 00:27:35,319 mostly four. You see anything over a fourth, they could 567 00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:37,279 maybe the DeVante Adams was the fourth that could be 568 00:27:37,319 --> 00:27:40,400 a third with if he makes all Pro and plays 569 00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:42,240 over sixty percent of a tame, you're not gonna be 570 00:27:42,279 --> 00:27:45,359 able to find You're gonna, I should say this. You're 571 00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:49,960 you could certainly find a swing guard, slash tackle, been there, 572 00:27:50,039 --> 00:27:53,119 done that for less than anything. You would consider it 573 00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:58,440 mortgaging the future. And I don't think because Sario did 574 00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:02,559 his job on this particular situation, because I don't think 575 00:28:02,599 --> 00:28:05,039 the people that I trusted look at the offensive line 576 00:28:05,039 --> 00:28:09,440 says you had to do something. Mike Williams was a fifth, 577 00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:15,720 Marshawn Lattimore was a third and a fourth, A third, 578 00:28:15,759 --> 00:28:19,880 fourth and sixth for a fifth hmm yeah, for the 579 00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:23,039 most part, that was probably the biggest one. Marshawn Lattimore 580 00:28:24,079 --> 00:28:28,440 a very good defensive player. Yeah, who's still who's still 581 00:28:29,559 --> 00:28:33,599 very very much in the prime of his career. Cam 582 00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:36,000 Robinson's a good left tackle. That costs you a fifth. 583 00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:38,160 So I mean, if we go on the Cam Robinson, 584 00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:42,880 that's what the Vikings. The Vikings traded for Cam Robinson 585 00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:44,880 and a seventh and gave up a fifth, and that's 586 00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:47,799 for an impact left tackle. So you have to think 587 00:28:47,839 --> 00:28:49,960 that a guard would have cost you less than a fifth. 588 00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:55,480 So we're thinking fifth max probably a sixth, So I yeah, 589 00:28:55,599 --> 00:28:56,440 that could have been done. 590 00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:57,079 Speaker 2: I would think. 591 00:29:01,519 --> 00:29:03,440 Speaker 4: Now I'm more mad than I was twenty five minutes 592 00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:04,640 ago when I first of the comments. 593 00:29:04,799 --> 00:29:05,359 Speaker 2: I'm sorry.
