- 0:00Hey there, everybody, it's Jeff. I wanted to let you know we
- 0:02recorded this podcast episode on Tuesday, March twelfth, twenty twenty four, so
- 0:06by the time you hear this, some things may have changed here there with
- 0:09this particular team we're going to be getting into, but we hope you enjoy
- 0:12the show. All right, everybody, welcome to Opposition Territory here at the
- 0:40Philadelphia Sports Table podcast show, the longest running weekly Philly sports podcast show in
- 0:44the world. That's right, getting close to eleven years of doing this podcast.
- 0:49This April will be eleven years. Man, the time has absolutely flown.
- 0:54But you know what, we still like to cover other teams here on
- 0:57our Opposition Territory show, and this week is no different. We're gonna be
- 1:00getting into the Houston Texans and what this team is doing from a philosophical standpoint,
- 1:06to build upon the success that they had this past year, a rather
- 1:10surprising season they had. But can they keep this momentum forward and keep it
- 1:15going forward, I should say, within their division. We got a great
- 1:18guest coming your way here. Let's get right to it, joining us from
- 1:22sp Nation and fan Nation. We love following him on the Twitter slash x
- 1:27at Jeremy Brenner. He's got great, great content that he is putting up
- 1:32with the interwebs consistently and to get into this Houston Texans team we have Jeremy
- 1:37Brenner. Jeremy Man, thanks so much for joining us this week on Opposition
- 1:40Territory. Jeff, It's always good to hear from you. What's going on
- 1:44with you. I gotta tell you, I'm excited about Sakwon Barkley. I'll
- 1:47tell you that as an Eagles fan, you see this Penn State like drapery
- 1:52that I have right here, this Penn State's not like I have always been
- 1:55a huge Saquon Barkley fan. I live about an hour north of Philadelphia,
- 1:59and he went to high school that's right across the river from where. That's
- 2:02a way. We've known about Saquon Barkley in this in this region that I
- 2:06live in for quite some time. And the fact that he's coming to the
- 2:07Philadelphia Eagles, I am absolutely stoked, my friend. Yeah, you know,
- 2:13the Texans were in on him as well, and now that when he
- 2:16signed with Philly, it kind of led Houston to go a different way and
- 2:21they did. I'm excited for that. As well, and I'm sure we'll
- 2:25get to talk about that along with that. Absolutely, absolutely, Yeah,
- 2:30let's get into this Texans offseason here, Jeremy, because like first, I
- 2:34wanted to talk about some of the re signings here. I mean tight end
- 2:37Dalton Schultz, he's going to be returning. I think that's huge for this
- 2:39Texans offense. I don't even know how to say the kicker's first name at
- 2:46this point. How do I not know how to say this? I'm constantly
- 2:47patching Kymie Fairbirn. Yes, he's going to be coming back as well.
- 2:53Cornerback Desmond King. He has resigned. Safety Eric Murray he's going to be
- 2:57coming back to the Texans as well. So wondering, as you're covering this
- 3:00team, how do you look at these re signings and how they pertain to
- 3:06the overall philosophy of where the front office is currently at and and how they're
- 3:09trying to continue to build this team. Yeah, so it's been they've had
- 3:19they had a lot of free agents last year, they signed a lot of
- 3:21guys to one year deals, kind of prove it deals, you know when
- 3:23you're because coming into the like a year ago, they were the they were
- 3:28the second worst team in the league. So they signed a bunch of you
- 3:31know, prove it guys, and they they went on and proved it.
- 3:37And that's why you see some of these guys coming back. The guys that
- 3:40aren't coming back are the ones they can't afford because they outplayed you know,
- 3:46their their contract and so you know, getting there's a lot of special teams
- 3:50guys like Eric Murray is going to be more of a special teams guy.
- 3:53Desmond King more of a deaf guy in the secondary, but also can play
- 3:57special teams. He came back midway through the year. Last year he played
- 4:00some with Pittsburgh. But yeah, Dalton Schultz, out of those names,
- 4:04is the one that stands out to me the most. You know, he
- 4:08was a big help for CJ. Stroud in his rookie year, having that
- 4:11big target up the middle. You know, you just eat up beat up
- 4:15targets, and so having him back is incredibly crucial for the offense. And
- 4:20I'd say out of the re signings, he's the most important one. So
- 4:25him getting that payday three years is definitely worth it for him. That connection
- 4:31between Dalton Schultz and c J. Stratt, I think we're gonna see that
- 4:34enhanced even more during this upcoming twenty twenty four season, for sure. But
- 4:40as we're moving along here, Jeremy, the Texans certainly they signed some free
- 4:45agents as well, most notably today as we're recording this, Joe Mixon coming
- 4:49from the Bengals now to the Texans to be that, you know, quote
- 4:54lead back. We'll see what happens with the running back situation throughout the rest
- 4:58of this offseason here. But they also signed some free agents, not necessarily
- 5:02the biggest names in the league, guys like you know, cornerback Mike Ford,
- 5:06defensive end Denico Autrey. There's a Jeff Okuda, the cornerback as we
- 5:13know, defensive back Lonnie Johnson as well in defensive tackle fully UTUASKI. I
- 5:21messed it up. I freaking messed up, as I do all the time.
- 5:24And I'm gonna get emails. Jeff, you suck. You can't pronounce
- 5:27names. You should hear me during hockey when I talk hockey. Oh my
- 5:30gosh, it's terrible. How do you say, fully? Yes, yes,
- 5:36there it is. Yes. So anyway, I'm wondering with these free
- 5:42agent signings that the Texans have gone through here, this week thus far,
- 5:46what grade would you give the front office for these signings and why? And
- 5:49also like as it pertains again to the philosophy that we kind of just talked
- 5:54about of where this team is actually gonna be going, hopefully this coming season,
- 5:59you know, well, I would say the Texans are doing what they
- 6:03need to be doing. You know, I really don't think the Texans are
- 6:06are building their Super Bowl champion now. I feel like that was built,
- 6:14you know, when you draft CJ and you draft Tank Dell like that,
- 6:17that's where you build your team. But like a lot of what they've done,
- 6:23they've filled some holes that were vacated by you know, Jonathan Grenard going
- 6:29to Minnesota. Uh, you saw Lake Cashman also go to Minnesota. So
- 6:33having those guys gone, you get you get Denico Autra. He he's gonna
- 6:40be a plug and play guy. Uh for Grenard potentially, Uh, you
- 6:45look at as he's Al Shire from the Titans, played with Demiko Ryans in
- 6:49San Francisco. He's a guy that you can, you know, fill in
- 6:53pretty quickly with Lake Cashman. So that's mainly, you know, the bigger
- 6:57names, the players that you know have gotten the larger contracts. Those are
- 7:01gonna be the guys that replace the guys that you're gonna lose. And you
- 7:06know, Devin Singletary they lost to the Giants. That's why you go get
- 7:11Joe Mixon, you know. So they they've done a decent job filling the
- 7:15holes that I don't necessarily know if if the guys they've brought in are are
- 7:19necessarily upgrades from the guys that left. Yeah, but I honestly think that
- 7:24the Texans they're not. They're not quite done yet. And I know we're
- 7:28talking right now. It's about four o'clock on the East Coast on Tuesday,
- 7:31so so plenty of time for free agents to make their decisions. Daniel Hunter
- 7:38is also someone that they are, you know, linked to, and I
- 7:41feel like that would be an even better replacement for Jonathan Grenard, you know,
- 7:46maybe a little bit more comparable. Jonathan Ernard about twelve sacks last year,
- 7:48and I believe Daniel Hunter had a similar number, and you know,
- 7:51hey, Vikings and Texans, you know, might as well be a trade.
- 7:55At that point, I would say, I would say, if they
- 7:59can get Daniel Hunter, that will turn this free agency into an a for
- 8:05me. But right now it's it's about it's a B right now about to
- 8:07be okay. I think that's fair too, because, like like you said,
- 8:11like the a lot of these signings thus far for the Texans do not
- 8:15appear to be I mean, of course they're not the big splash type of
- 8:18signings, but a lot of depth here too, And that's what good teams
- 8:20need to do. They need to acquire that depth because injuries happen throughout the
- 8:26course of the year. Sometimes guys, you know, they're not able to
- 8:28play for an entire half for whatever reason. Uh Again, from an injury
- 8:33standpoint, you need to have that depth. And I think that's what a
- 8:35lot of these signings really are. And you know, it's interesting how we're
- 8:39going along free agency here, Jeremy, And you know, every single team
- 8:43has that wish list of free agents that they really just wish that they could
- 8:48acquire, whether it's from a financial standpoint, just from a logistical standpoint as
- 8:52well in terms of the talent they already have on the team who they want
- 8:56to bring in. But you know, the wish list that doesn't always happen.
- 9:00And so I'm wondering, is there an area of the free agency period
- 9:05that you believe the Texans really need to address more as they really look to
- 9:09remain competitive within their division. Like where where do you really want them to
- 9:13focus their attention as we're moving forward here? Definitely the pass rush. That's
- 9:18why I say to Neil Hunter is a big get for them if they can
- 9:22get it. You know, the pass rush is still like you have Will
- 9:26Anderson, and Will Anderson you know one review of the year last year,
- 9:28like he is your uh, he is like your primary guy. And I'm
- 9:33sure they'll use the draft as well to kind of fill in those needs.
- 9:37But I would say that is probably like the biggest need for the Texans right
- 9:41now. There's also talks about maybe going out getting a receiver, but I
- 9:48also feel like that is more of a draft thing because you have Robert Woods
- 9:56as kind of your wide receiver three, and while he's not a bad wide
- 10:01receiver three, I feel like you could get maybe a better one. Yeah,
- 10:05Like if they were to go out on the trademarket for instance, and
- 10:09look at Brandon Ayuk and if they if they may, if they acquired Ayuk
- 10:15for for whatever reason, I would feel much stronger about the receivers where they're
- 10:20at Ayuk, Nico Collins who had a great year last year, Tank Dell
- 10:24who was off to a great start before suffering that injury. That would be,
- 10:31in my opinion, one of the top ten receiver groups in the NFL.
- 10:37So I would say that that's like, maybe if you want to take
- 10:41this roster from where it is and elevate it even more, you know,
- 10:43that's probably like one little you know, one little area you could possibly address.
- 10:50But I still think the Texans have a really good roster given where things
- 10:54are, and you know, they have as they have a lot of you
- 10:56know, they have they have their picks this coming this year, and I
- 11:01honestly think that the Texans are in a pretty decent spot. I don't the
- 11:05Texans aren't winning the super Bowl in March, but they're certainly not losing it.
- 11:09Yeah, that's a great way to say it. You mentioned the draft.
- 11:13We're gonna get to that in a little bit here and again, folks,
- 11:16we are talking to Jeremy Brenner from sp Dation and fan Nation. Give
- 11:22him a follow on Twitter slash x at Jeremy Brenner. He is a great,
- 11:26great follow, and make sure you check out everything he's doing. On
- 11:30the interwebs out there. But as we're kind of getting out of this free
- 11:33agency period, you know, in the near future, we're gonna be looking
- 11:37to the draft. You mentioned the foundation of this team initially is CJ.
- 11:41Stroud. I mean, we talked a lot about c J. Stroud the
- 11:45last time that you were on the podcast here, Jeremy, which was a
- 11:48few months before the twenty twenty three NFL season started, and you and I
- 11:54both I remember the discussion. We both had some concerns as he's coming out
- 11:58of Ohio State. We kind of talked about, you know, we know
- 12:00how Ohio State quarterbacks have performed in the NFL over the years, But boy,
- 12:05did he ever put those concerns to rest during his rookie season. I
- 12:09mean, he's not a perfect quarterback as we know by any stretch of the
- 12:11imagination here. But I'm wondering where does CJ. Stroud need to work most
- 12:18this offseason as he continues to develop. As Texans fans they want to see
- 12:22him take that next step as well, where does he need to work the
- 12:26most on his game in terms of this offseason here. That's a that's a
- 12:33really good question because I don't necessarily have a really good answer for you,
- 12:37Jeff. You know I can't. I can't think of a better rookie year
- 12:43than CJ could have happened. I really, I really couldn't. I was
- 12:48concerned that, you know, the offensive line would you know, not be
- 12:52able to support him. They were. I was concerned that the receivers weren't
- 12:58good enough for him. They were. I really have like it takes a
- 13:03microscope to really look at CJ's game, but I will and find the flaws.
- 13:09But I will say this, you know, coming into your second year,
- 13:13you don't have that that rookie miss with your game. You know,
- 13:20there's a lot there's a whole seasons worth of film now on CJ in the
- 13:22NFL that teams did not have to prepare for him. So teams are going
- 13:28to be better prepared against CJ this year. And what I will say is
- 13:31will he be able to adjust? Will he be able to uh, you
- 13:37know, dissect the different looks that defense is given him? Because he was
- 13:41able to pass those tests throughout the season. Yes, And That's why I'm
- 13:46not too concerned, you know, moving forward. But there is a full
- 13:50year of film on CJ. The league knows what they're gonna get, and
- 13:54to be honest, there's a target on the Texans now. The Texans were
- 13:58overlooked by almost everybody. Yes, a year ago, Yeah, I mean
- 14:03who who wasn't, So I would say that the Texans with the target on
- 14:07their back now, you know, they're also going to play a tougher schedule
- 14:11being a first place team going into the next season, and they'll have games
- 14:15against the Chiefs, the Ravens, Uh, They're gonna have to play the
- 14:18Lions, you know, the Cowboys. There's there's a lot of tough teams
- 14:22on the Texans schedule this upcoming season. So will he be able to take
- 14:31that next step, That's something that's to be determined. But if this past
- 14:37season had any indication, you know, CJ is going to put the Texans
- 14:41in position to qualify for the playoffs and make a run every single year he's
- 14:46there. You make a good point in that, you know, everybody,
- 14:48of course, including us, we were surprised by where the Texans went overall,
- 14:52and we're surprised by the offense I think in general. But now if
- 14:56CJ. Stroud is able to get this team in this off you know,
- 15:00with the help of Demiico Ryans and the coaching staff into the playoffs. The
- 15:03expectation now is you got to get out of that first round. If it
- 15:07is the wildcard round, you know, if it is, you know,
- 15:09it's getting to the next round. I think that pressure is something that CJ
- 15:13Stroud inevitably, It's not gonna be there necessarily during the course of the regular
- 15:18season, but come playoff time, Oh boy, Jeremy, he is going
- 15:22to have that weight on his shoulders, and how he performs from a leadership
- 15:26standpoint at that point is going to be really interesting to see. It really
- 15:31will be. Yeah, you know, the Texans, I really you know,
- 15:37before the season, I really had no expectations for the Texans. I
- 15:41was really just kind of like, you know, I remember our conversation last
- 15:43time mine I think I think I think it said like eight or nine wins
- 15:48would be the ceiling, and they had ten wins and and a wild card
- 15:54went against the Browns. So getting to the AFC Championship would be that next
- 16:00step for the Texans, which is still a huge challenge because I still genuinely
- 16:06believe that the Chiefs and the Ravens are just a step above everyone else in
- 16:11the AFC. So that's the Texans are going to have to get past one
- 16:15or both of those teams, you know, to get to where they want
- 16:19to go. And I would say, I really don't know if they're there
- 16:25yet, and it's gonna take a lot of you know, it's gonna take
- 16:32more than just what they currently have to get there. And to be honest
- 16:36though, the reason why those teams are where they are not only do they
- 16:40have great players all around and it's just a strong roster, you know,
- 16:44altogether, but it's the quarterback. You know, will c. J.
- 16:48Stroud be able to get to the same level as Lamar as Patrick Mahomes.
- 16:55I don't know if he can do that in year two now your four year,
- 16:59five years six, maybe we're talking a little bit more about that,
- 17:03especially you know when when Lamar and and Mahomes get up in age as well.
- 17:10I mean they're also going to be probably in their primes potentially four or
- 17:12five years down the line maybe. But so so that's the thing with the
- 17:18Texans is they're gonna have to It's just like how it was, you know
- 17:22with Brady and Manning and Ben Roethlisberger. Like it's always one of those three
- 17:26guys, and CJ just needs to fight for his seat at the table with
- 17:32those guys. And if he can do that and he's on pace too,
- 17:34if the first year was any indication, then I think it's only a matter
- 17:38of time before the Texans, you know, their put themselves in that conversation.
- 17:42Yeah, I mean, his development certainly is critical. I mean,
- 17:45being a quarterback in the National Football League, the development is absolutely critical to
- 17:52future success. But I mean also, I mean here in the Eagles Nation,
- 17:56Jeremy, you know, we're consistently talking about building teams through the trenches
- 18:00on both the offensive side of the ball and defensive side of the ball.
- 18:03So I guess my next question for you would be, how do you assess
- 18:07the trenches for the Texans, because that, I think is as equally as
- 18:11important as c J. Stroud's development as well. How do you assess where
- 18:15the trenches are offensively and defensively for the Texans as they're heading into this new
- 18:19NFL year and you know what they may need to do from now until the
- 18:23start of the season to continue building those offensive and defensive lines. What are
- 18:27your thoughts here, Yeah, you know, the offensive line, we'll start
- 18:33there is is pretty set. I would say, you know, Tunsil and
- 18:38Howard are your tackles, and they're signed for for a decent while. And
- 18:42then you have Jute Scrugs, who the team just drafted. At the center's
- 18:47position. Yep, he'll stick there. But then the guards is kind of
- 18:51where things get a little uh get dice, Yeah, Shock Mason is going
- 18:57to stay where he's at, but left guard position is a little is a
- 19:03little dicey, or I should say, because Kenyan Green was supposed to be
- 19:07that guy for the Texans this year, he was there. He was their
- 19:11first round pick in twenty twenty two, So it was in twenty twenty two
- 19:17it Stingley had the number three pick, and then the pick that they used
- 19:21with the Browns trade for Shaun Watson, they selected Kenyan Green. Yep.
- 19:26And he did not play last season. He was injured during pre season,
- 19:29did not play for the Texans, and even before, even in his rookie
- 19:33year, did not necessarily show signs of being that like that potential first round
- 19:41guard that could you know, be your your guard for five, six,
- 19:45seven years. Yep. So there's hope that he could be that, but
- 19:48it wouldn't surprise me if the Texans go into the draft and get another interior
- 19:53alignment. You know, they did that last year. They drafted two centers.
- 19:59They drafted Juice Scrugs in the second round, Jarrett Patterson in the sixth
- 20:03round out of Notre Dame. He was He ended up starting for Juice Scrugs
- 20:07a bit during the season and performed well. There may be a world where
- 20:11he ends up, you know, as a starter on this line somewhere,
- 20:15But it wouldn't surprise me at the Texans address the position in the draft as
- 20:18well. Yeah, and then when it comes to, you know, the
- 20:22defensive side, Sheldon Rankins last year was really strong for the Texans as someone
- 20:27that was a one year guy. He's a free agent now and it doesn't
- 20:33seem like the Texans will bring him back, only because they did sign fully
- 20:38Fatukassi, who could very well end up just being his replacement. But you
- 20:45also have Khalil Davis played really well last year and you know, in some
- 20:48roles, I honestly think having like the Miko Ryans as the coaches is something
- 20:53that I don't want to like overlook necessarily because having him as a front seven
- 20:57guys as a middle line by leader of the defense has you know, been
- 21:03the defensive coordinator for teams that have gone to Super Bowl and deep into the
- 21:07playoffs. You know, having that guy like you could tell that the defense
- 21:11was different last year. And it wasn't necessarily the personnel that were a whole
- 21:17lot different. No, there were some you know, personnel changes. They
- 21:21they brought back a lot of the same people. But the big reason why
- 21:25they were as successful as they were because they were coached different and there was
- 21:27just a different vibe and different atmosphere and that's huge in the NFL in my
- 21:33opinion. So I genuinely think having Damika Ryan's there is crucial for the defense
- 21:40and whatever they do on the defensive line, they'll sort it out because they
- 21:45have the veterans there. Like you're playing veterans. You're not throwing out young
- 21:49guys and asking them to do all this work. You're putting in veteran guys
- 21:56that know what they're doing, that are able to play one down, two
- 22:00down, three down, whatever you ask of them, and they're able to
- 22:03execute. And so now you just got to get some athletic pass crushers like
- 22:07will Anderston who they already have and and going you know, sack the quarterback.
- 22:14That's what is ultimately going to be. You know, I think the
- 22:18biggest difference between this year's team and last year's team is can they go out
- 22:22and get strong pass rushers to replace Jonathan Gernard, you know, Ken Will
- 22:26Anderson take another step, you know. So if those guys can do that,
- 22:32then you're looking at possibly a better version of the Texans. The question
- 22:37is, though, is a better version of the Texans a better like going
- 22:41to the AFC Championship. Yeah, And with that, I really still have
- 22:45a hard time seeing how that can happen. So that like when I tell
- 22:48you I could not have had a better season for the Texans, in mind,
- 22:53I really couldn't have. And I genuinely think that is still the ceiling
- 22:56for the Texans, and but there there is more expectation that they will hit
- 23:02that ceiling this year because of what they did in twenty twenty three. Absolutely,
- 23:06and it's a good segue, I think into what this team needs to
- 23:10do for the draft, because it's my understanding the Texans have eight draft picks
- 23:15coming up here, none in the fifth or the sixth rounds. But I
- 23:19believe they have the number twenty three pick overall, if I'm remembering that correctly.
- 23:25You know, as this team pick yeah, yep, as this team
- 23:27begins to build Jeremy and continue I should say, continues to build. They're
- 23:32not, They've already been building here, but as they want to continue building.
- 23:36You mentioned the pass rush. I can see that number twenty three pick
- 23:40possibly being a defensive end or just a pass rusher that they know is going
- 23:44to be able to hit the ground running on Day one. But like,
- 23:47from an overall perspective, how do you see this upcoming NFL draft taking shape
- 23:51for Houston here? I could see them trading down honestly, y three if
- 23:57there's not a whole like, I doubt that they're gonna move up. Like.
- 24:03I just don't see that for the Texans. But what I do see
- 24:07is I do see a pass rusher on either Day one or Day two.
- 24:12Perhaps a receiver as well at some point, though they did get they did
- 24:18basically have three rookie receivers last year. If you want to count John Metchi
- 24:25as a rookie, he was. He was the second round pick the previous
- 24:26year, but didn't play that rookie year for cancer. And then you had
- 24:32Xavier Hutchinson, who was a sixth round pick. You know, he was
- 24:34brought in and he he he played some snaps on off like he was a
- 24:40backup, and there's a decent chance that he'll be part of the team this
- 24:44year as well. I don't foresee him being a starter and taking over some
- 24:47of the starters on the team. But receiver running back is also an important
- 24:52position for them. You know, Joe Mixon is there now, Damian Pierce
- 24:56is the second string, but you know, will they be able to find
- 24:59a third string Maybe they can find a guy on Day three that can possibly
- 25:06you know, take over once Joe Mixon leaves after a year. I really
- 25:10don't see Joe Mixon lasting more than a year with this offense. So yeah,
- 25:15I would say just go out and get guys that can a be special
- 25:18teams contributors and be Stephan if needed. But yeah, if they if they
- 25:25want to go out and really start off this draft with the strong start,
- 25:30I think pass rushes is definitely the way to go. Also, cornerback.
- 25:33Cornerback is another position I could see them going in. Derek Singley is your
- 25:37is your CV one, but Steven Nelson as a free agent. If they
- 25:42don't go out and get you know, they don't bring Steven Nelson back for
- 25:45whatever reason. You know, I could definitely see corner being another option as
- 25:49well. They did sign Jeff Okuda, that someone we haven't mentioned yet,
- 25:52but he's not someone that I think the Texans are counting on to be a
- 25:57cornerback too. I think they're looking him as more of a slot guy,
- 26:02cornerback three or four on the roster, So I would say cornerback, defensive
- 26:08end on the first two day in the first two picks, yep, either
- 26:12or, and then you go into your alignment running back receiver. All right,
- 26:18very good. I think it's going to be interesting to follow this this
- 26:22NFL team. They really are very very interesting. And again, folks,
- 26:26Jeremy Brenner from SB Nation and fan Nation, give him a follow over on
- 26:32Twitter slash x at Jeremy Brenner. He is a great, great follow my
- 26:34friend, thank you so much for taking the time to join us here on
- 26:37our Opposition Territory pod this week. I'd love to talk to you again down
- 26:41the road, my friend. Absolutely, Jeff, thank you. It really
- 26:45is going to be interesting to see where this Houston Texans team goes in the
- 26:48future. It was really great talking to Jeremy about the philosophical direction that the
- 26:53Texans are going to be heading in over the course of this next season and
- 26:56even into the future as well. Look, a lot of movement has been
- 27:00happening in the NFL as it pertains to free agency. Look at the running
- 27:04back position. My gosh, the amount of running backs that are going from
- 27:08team to team. You know, the Eagles getting Saquon Barkley. You have
- 27:12Derrick Henry signing today with the Baltimore Ravens, Devin Singletary going to the Giants.
- 27:19There's just so much movement everywhere with regard to the running back position.
- 27:26And you know what does that mean specifically here to the Houston Texans as we
- 27:30know they've got a new running back as well. So, boy, I
- 27:33gotta tell you, it's gonna be fun to follow this NFL season throughout the
- 27:37course of this offseason. As we've got free agency here, the NFL Draft
- 27:41is we're gonna be right around the corner. It's gonna be here before we
