00:00Hey, somebody texted, just manage the game, not win the game.
00:04Like, rather than him do that, I would rather him buck up to this.
00:11And just, like, I just, I'm not a fan of the just go along and get along.
00:18Because, like, I mean, there's countless examples of, like,
00:23Tom wasn't over there arguing with Bill O'Brien just for the fun of it.
00:27Or other guys weren't arguing, not even to the top of time.
00:31Like, people will buck when they don't, like, like, no, man, this ain't working.
00:34And I, and I don't know.
00:36Like, CJ feels like he is backs against the wall coming into next year.
00:40And this is, this is absolutely the lowest that anyone has looked at him.
00:44People talking about trading him.
00:46People talking about moving on from him.
00:48Texans fans are done with him and all this and that.
00:52To just go down, just go down in a system that you ain't comfortable in.
00:55Well, it goes back, it goes back to some of the conversations we've had, you know,
01:00over the last week is, I mean, if, if I'm CJ, I mean, like, like a lot, a lot of,
01:04and I view CJ as, like, right now ain't the time.
01:06You don't have the bargaining power right now.
01:08Like, you ain't, you ain't, you don't have the power that you had hell a month ago.
01:13But right now is a critical time for CJ Stroud.
01:17And 10 years ago, we wouldn't even be talking about this.
01:19But right now is a critical time for CJ Stroud and his representation to decide.
01:24Cause I mean, just coming in with a bad attitude or coming in and bucking the system or whatever,
01:29like nobody wins in that scenario.
01:31It's particularly him in his fourth year before getting an extension or getting traded.
01:35Like they've got to come to terms and go, all right, they've screwed us twice.
01:39The first time play callers where they've landed right now in year three, we can argue.
01:45I know CJ Stroud has got to feel some kind of way about it, about it, about it, you know, hurting his value.
01:52You going to sit around for year four and do it?
01:54Or are you and your representation going to go in there and have some tough conversations and try to get moved or, or, or buy in one of the two?
02:00Like that, that's, those are the two options to me, but.
02:02But I don't think you necessarily have to be in, in, in a hole to buck, to buck the system.
02:08Like, I think it's a, now, and now if they push you, it just, they're just like to hell with it.
02:12No, man.
02:12When I'm, which they could do, they like to hell with it.
02:15But I think there could be a conversation of, Hey guys, like, can we, can we figure something out where I'm more comfortable in this offense and we can mix some of this, this stuff up?
02:25Because I think that was probably the number one thing that you can see from him and other quarterbacks are successful.
02:30You clearly see like, he ain't comfortable.
02:32Or, or real major belief in what they're doing offensively.
02:38And can we come together or is this just going to be, no, it's done this way.
02:42And that's it.
02:43Cause he's getting blamed for everything.
02:46And he holds a big piece of, of what's happening, but it ain't just, it didn't just start with the turnovers there.
02:52It was the whole thing of this offense and how it's done.
02:55Can we, can we, as he said, bend a little bit.
02:58Like, I think this is, when I say buck, like this could be a, like, can we sit down and figure out what's going on with this offense?
03:05I believe this offense can be much better.
03:07You all have seen it.
03:08I can play much better.
03:10Can we bring some of these notes in?
03:12Cause I think that's what good coaches do.
03:15And, and then, and, and just not accept like, all right, man, we just go running, man.
03:19We're just going to run it.
03:20As this person texts in, Hey man, don't try to win the game.
03:26Just, just don't lose it.
03:27Like, like, can we, can we move off that attitude?
03:30If you protect the ball, you know, your chances of winning go up to like 90% or something.
03:34Yeah.
03:34We got that too.
03:35Yeah.
03:36But I mean, like, can we, he's just too talented of a player to go down.
03:40And it like, and you're, they're sure there's other things behind it, Clint.
03:43I'm like, yeah, man, I'm losing out.
03:44I'm getting paid.
03:45People are, people are looking at me completely different.
03:48Yeah.
03:48But I, but I, but I, like, I, I don't, I would not hope that CJ just doesn't come in and just, all right.
03:55All right.
03:56All right.
03:56Nick Kalin, y'all, I'm just going to, all right.
03:59Yes, sir.
04:00We're just going to do this.
04:01No, I, I, I hope he comes in with his thoughts and like, this is what I think can help me.
04:07Now, can we compromise and put something together?
04:11And I think that's what good coaches do.
04:13Now, if Kaylee isn't capable of doing that and can only really run his own stuff,
04:17then now, I mean, then, then obviously that's an issue, but I, I would just hope this isn't
04:22just a CJ walking in the door.
04:23As you said, we're at a pivotal point in his career right now that he just walks in the
04:28door and just goes into another offense, another year into this offense that he's not comfortable.
04:33Yeah.
04:33I mean, I, I'm, I don't, um, like here's the, the part that, that is that, that I get hung
04:40up on the most is, as I've said many times is the communication piece with this offense.
04:45And, and, you know, that's one of those things where it would be a very easy fix.
04:52Let's say, cause I, I, I don't know, but let's say for whatever reason, the more responsibility
04:56that CJ Stroud has gotten in this office, when I say responsibility is what he said, he
05:01had done his whole career, which was being able to communicate and have more control
05:03with the line of scrimmage.
05:04Right.
05:05Okay.
05:05Let's say that that is, was a real struggle and it causes a lot of the late out of the
05:12huddle.
05:12It causes a lot.
05:13And there's some kind of, of hurdle there that can't be fixed overnight.
05:17So now Nick Cayley has to pair his offense down to where it can be communicated easier.
05:23Right.
05:23Or you have to, you have to just accept that a CJ is not at a spot where he can, where
05:30he can execute this offense, communicate this offense at an extremely high level at a high
05:34level, a high enough level that they want him to, to, to communicate it at.
05:38And again, we're still at a place to where there's like, I mean, I just don't know how
05:45you handle that situation other than just the quarterback's got to buy completely in.
05:49Um, yeah, I, uh, yeah, quarterback, but the quarterback has to buy in.
05:56Sure.
05:57Um, but I also think that there should be a working together to make sure the quarterback
06:03is comfortable and completely buys in right.
06:06Like to just, just like, all right, Hey man, like, Hey Lamar, man, just here, man.
06:11We want you to just run this dude.
06:12Like, we're not like, I mean, we're not going to use your legs.
06:15We're not going to use the, we're not going to use the things that you're, that are some
06:18of your strengths that have been good for you, even, and we've seen you be great at
06:22this.
06:22We're not going to, we want you to come and pull and do this and not, and not do like,
06:27I think it's a part of a coach's job and coaching staff's job, especially with a player who has
06:33shown you what he could be to work with said player and not just come in here and just say,
06:40cause somebody just texted in and said, are you not listening to Clint Ron?
06:44Uh, he has no agency because of his play players play and coaches coach.
06:49Well, I would say Nick, Nick Caley don't have no damn agency.
06:52The hell's he done?
06:54What agency does he have?
06:56CJ Stroud has been better at his job before in this league than Nick Caley has.
07:00Nobody's got agency.
07:01They can all sit the hell down if they want this offense to be at its best and try to figure
07:06out the best way that everybody could do it and feel comfortable.
