SportsTranscript
00:00inspired by Teron Matthew, interestingly enough.
00:03Honey Badger, he was talking to Kay Adams,
00:06and he had an interesting conversation.
00:08Actually, I think, is it worth playing first?
00:10Oh, yeah.
00:11We're about to play this, but inspired by this conversation that was had,
00:15what former Texan do you think you could drop onto this team
00:18and push them to a Super Bowl?
00:20At the ends of their career.
00:21It'd have to be at the end of their career, and you'll understand why.
00:23This was Teron Matthew.
00:24This was him literally.
00:25This happened yesterday, did it not, Fig?
00:27Yeah.
00:27Yeah, I saw it yesterday.
00:28Yesterday, talking to Kay Adams, this was the conversation.
00:32I do know this.
00:34The Texas, the Texas, the way that Texas play defense,
00:38man, listen, I'll come back to play for a defense like that.
00:42Okay, all I'm getting is you're ready to come back.
00:45Are you ready to come back?
00:47I mean, for the right situation, who wouldn't?
00:50You know what I mean?
00:50People who have retired wouldn't.
00:52I love this game, so I'm like, yeah.
00:54Can we, Tyron wants to come back to the NFL?
00:56Let's go.
00:57All right, so just on that, at first, I'm curious, because, Fig, you were here when we
01:05had the Tyron Matthew experience.
01:08By the way, in that same interview.
01:09Actually, I think it is Tyron.
01:10I always say Tyron.
01:12It is Tyron?
01:12Yeah.
01:14I'm going to say Tyron anyway.
01:16He blocked you, so he can't see.
01:18He blocked me without just searching his own name.
01:21But, okay, set that aside.
01:23So, when he was here, and by the way, he called his tenure with the Texans a pit stop in the
01:28same interview yesterday.
01:30So, my initial reaction was, no, thank you.
01:34Then I started thinking a little bit.
01:35I'm like, on this defense?
01:37Yeah.
01:38With his ball skills?
01:38I would let him do whatever.
01:41I'm like, hey, just go out there, man.
01:44Just do what you do, man.
01:46You be you.
01:47Yeah.
01:48Do your thing, man.
01:49I did a little about face on that.
01:51Yeah.
01:52And, I mean, it was a pit stop, if we're going to look.
01:55It was a pit stop.
01:55I mean, it is objectively fair that it was a pit stop.
01:59I think it's funny, because the last time he made some headlines, not on the Kay Adams
02:03show, but he mentioned how Bill O'Brien wanted him to take over the team.
02:09Everybody was like, whoa, wait a minute.
02:11J.J.
02:12Watt was on that team.
02:13How could you be our captain?
02:15This ain't your team, and all this other stuff.
02:17Oh, yeah.
02:17Now everybody's like, hey, come on back, honey badger.
02:20Yeah.
02:20He actually talked about that yesterday, too.
02:22I guess the Chiefs was the only time he felt like it was his defense.
02:26You know, not in Arizona, not here.
02:28The Arizona thing is kind of crazy, you know, that he didn't feel that level of ownership
02:32there.
02:33But, yeah, I mean, it makes sense.
02:35I felt like he was the face of that team in Arizona at some point.
02:38Yeah, but, okay, so you took this to a place of who could come back and push this team
02:44to a, this Texas team to a Super Bowl.
02:46Like their last year.
02:47Like, at the ends of their career.
02:48Because in my brain, I was like, who now?
02:51Because, like, Tyron Matthew now is talking about this.
02:54But he's also only, like, a year removed from playing football.
02:58Yeah.
02:58So, like, at the end of their career, who would you, you know, pull at that period for this
03:03Texas team in order to make him better?
03:04I would go immediately to Chris Myers.
03:09Terrific Pro Bowl center.
03:11You just hate that Jake Andrews, Tony.
03:12You just hate him.
03:13Hate him.
03:13It's not personal.
03:15It's not personal.
03:16But Chris Myers with Titus Howard and Ed Ingram on each side?
03:21Yeah.
03:21Are you kidding?
03:22And then those rookie tackle on his left and the veteran Trent Brown on his right?
03:27I would go Chris Myers at the end of his career.
03:29Hell, I'd go Chris Myers right now at 230 pounds or whatever he is.
03:33No, but especially because it feels like the reason why Jake Andrews is holding down that
03:38spot is, like, mental acumen, for lack of a better term.
03:41It's just seemingly getting guys in the right place and, you know, being able to be that
03:46portion of this.
03:46You can't beat Chris Myers at that.
03:48I was like, I don't know.
03:49Hey, good on you.
03:50But you are not better than Chris Myers at doing that.
03:52Plus, that dude adds a level of physicality and nasty that you want.
03:56Yeah, yeah, yeah.
03:56I think that is one of the easiest answers.
03:58Because, again, it feels like you're doing, where can we address with a great player?
04:03And offensive line is absolutely one of those places that you look at.
04:05Is there anywhere else that you're looking at?
04:07Because it's funny.
04:08There are names that people love, like, one, Justin James Watt.
04:12I just wonder, do we really need to give even more of an abundance of riches and wealth
04:18to the defense line?
04:19He had a couple cool years in Arizona, though, man.
04:23Like, I would take that J.J. Watt.
04:23Oh, I'm not saying that.
04:24Like, clearly, that's fantastic.
04:25I would take that J.J. Watt in a heartbeat, man.
04:27How about J.J. Watt, a defensive tackle at the end of his career?
04:32With these guys.
04:33I mean, yes.
04:34Look, I hear you don't have to convince me that the future Hall of Famer would be great
04:39on this defense.
04:40No convincing necessary.
04:41I'm there with him.
04:42But, see, the thing is, like, a lot of people on the end of their careers don't really have
04:47a good year that year.
04:49But J.J. was all right in the year.
04:51100%, man.
04:52He wasn't bad.
04:53He wasn't, you know, MVP type of J.J.
04:55But, no, he was still all right, man.
04:58Double-digit sacks, I want to say.
04:59You want to know what my cheeky answer was as soon as I saw this?
05:02What's that?
05:03Joe Mixon.
05:04Joe Mixon is at the end of his career.
05:09No, we have no idea.
05:10I'd take him, well, but he figures to be at the end of his career.
05:13But if we're doing that, like, if we're talking about running back, you know the name.
05:18Put Arian back there?
05:19Yeah.
05:19With all due respect to what Woody has been able to do.
05:22I feel like that's a good answer.
05:25Don't get me wrong.
05:25But I feel like he took a pretty precipitous drop.
05:28Towards the end.
05:28Yeah.
05:29Towards the end.
05:29Yeah.
05:30I can see that.
05:31I think that's fair.
05:32Some other names that come in, just for the love of the game.
05:34Hey, Andre Johnson.
05:36At the end of his career, he was here.
05:38And was all right, but you could definitely see it was falling.
05:42The other one, I was thinking at the end of his career, is Owen Daniel.
05:46Owen Daniel with Dalton, you know, Dalton Schultz.
05:49Yeah.
05:49Yeah, I'd take that.
05:50Can I use this as an opportunity to come back to Cade Stover, who became very front of mind
05:55because he got out here in this tush-push circumstance?
05:59And then also, I think I appreciated him because he got on the perimeter.
06:02Him as pass catcher has not materialized.
06:04Now, it hasn't been very many games for him, but him as second pass catcher hasn't really
06:08materialized.
06:09And I know they probably were expecting more Brevin Jordan to be that compliment to Dalton
06:14Schultz in the pass catching division of things.
06:16But I'm a little disappointed.
06:18It feels unfair because, again, has not been a lot of opportunity and what have you with
06:21the injury as well.
06:23But it feels like I was hoping to see more from him in that regard.
06:27And Owen Daniel at the end of his career was crafty.
06:31I know it's a cliche, but he was a crafty receiver, knew so smart, knew where to carry, you know,
06:36where to go, how to use his body in certain situations.
06:41And by the way, Arian Foster, his last two seasons, 2015-2016, averaged 2.6 and 2.5 yards
06:47a kick.
06:47Okay.
06:48Yeah.
06:48So, you know, it was time.
06:50That's fair.
06:50And he recognized it.
06:52Viggy, do you have anybody at the ends of their career?
06:55I was just trying to think.
06:56We're thinking former Texans, right?
06:58Yes, of course.
06:59Okay.
07:00How was Mario Williams this is his last two years?
07:03Y'all just want to make the strength even stronger.
07:06I know, man.
07:07I know.
07:08I'm here for it.
07:09How about Daniil Manning?
07:12Yeah.
07:12Yeah.
07:12Yeah.
07:13That's an interesting one.
07:14Someone also came up with, like, DJ Reader.
07:17Start looking at those safeties.
07:19I think that that could be the interesting thing because right now, I...
07:23Yeah, yeah.
07:23Look, you can say it.
07:25We know.
07:25I'm a little concerned.
07:26We know.
07:27Let me press pause.
07:29What about J. Joe?
07:30Because I'm not asking J.J. to play safety.
07:31No, I say J. Joe.
07:32Oh, J. Joe.
07:32I was like, all right, so we just go throw J.J. anyway, right?
07:35We'll let J.J. do the sneak.
07:37We'll let him play tight end and play D-tackle.
07:39It'll be fine.
07:41No, J. Joe would be interesting.
07:43Yeah, because he played safety.
07:44Yeah.
07:45It was kind of rough towards the end, though.
07:48I think a lot of people were just like, all right, man.
07:50It's time to hang it up, old man.
07:51Yeah, yeah.
07:52And then, yeah, you could get me on a number of safeties.
07:59Daniil Manning was pretty good at the end of his career.
08:01You could get me on a number of safeties.
08:03He was pretty good.
08:04And that is in part because the Miles Bryant thing, like, I don't even think he is awful
08:10by any means.
08:11It just feels like of a fantastic defense, he is very clearly a weak spot the teams are
08:17willing to attack.
08:18And I would like if that was not quite the case.
08:20No, they are attacking him.
08:21You know, and it was obvious about a three or four game stretch against the Colts where
08:28they were attacking him.
08:30And by the way, you know, that's something that they have to address this week.
08:35This week they have to address it and figure it out.
08:37Fig, you think we can get Glover out here?
08:39Glover Quinn?
08:40I think he, yeah.
08:41You think we can get him out here?
08:42Yeah.
08:42He is a fantastic hang.
08:45We got to pull him away from the tailgate, though.
08:47He'd be trying to tailgate before the game.
08:50He is a fantastic hang if you see him out there in them tailgate lots, for sure.
08:53Some other names that come in.
08:54Cushing?
08:55You interested in Cushing?
08:56At the end of his career?
08:57Yeah.
08:58Yeah.
08:58What about Dwayne Brown?
08:59Because he didn't care.
09:00Dwayne Brown came in on the text line.
09:02And maybe this is a testament to where they've gotten.
09:05It doesn't feel like it is the most important, but you're not going to get me to say no to
09:09Dwayne Brown.
09:10That's just not going to happen.
09:11And Bernard Pollard came in.
09:14I don't mind that.
09:15Okay.
09:16I don't mind that.
09:17Yeah, that's a good one.
09:18Okay.
09:18Got a Pro Bowl in his second to last year.
09:20Somebody said, how about Vince Wilford?
09:22I have a feeling at the end of the Vince Wilford thing was not as fruitful as I would have imagined.
09:30Of course Kevin Walter came in.
09:32That's right.
09:32Of course it came in.
09:34That's right.
09:34They need that blocking.
09:36Which, to be fair.
09:37They do.
09:38No, no, but they blocked really well at the wide receiver spot in this game.
09:42Honestly, I kind of posited to myself, I wonder if that's why you got so much Hutchison in
09:47this game is because he'd be out there blocking.
09:50Yeah.
09:50He absolutely does.
09:51But there you go.
09:52D'Amico Reigns.
09:53You know what?
09:54You know what?
09:56I think D'Amico, well, D'Amico was bigger in that time and less of a coverage guy, so
09:59I think that that gets a little dicey.
10:01But D'Amico himself would be like, but you got the brain out there.
10:02You do got the brain out there.
10:04That is fair.
10:04You do got, and I see you with the jokes, Ed Reed.
10:07All right.
10:08And that's how I know the segment is over.
10:10Been there, done that.
10:11I was waiting for that name.
10:12I was waiting for that name.
10:14That is how I know that the segment is over.
