And then someone asked, "Do you think that C.J.
Stroud's IQ is a factor in him not being able to audible or make quick decisions?"
I don't.
Like, I know, like, the whole Wonderlic thing, but to me when I watch film and I listen to him talk in interviews, his football IQ is through the roof.
Like, when you watch the silent film, like, watching him read a defense, like, you watch it from the eye in the sky.
Okay, defense doing this, he should go here, here, and here.
Boom, he does it.
so no, I don't think so.
defense is gonna be stronger this season, I agree.
Said not from the stead, how many elite D-lines do we actually play this year?
Two, maybe three.
Yeah, that's a good point.
So our schedule last year was insane, and the biggest thing was the elite interior defensive lines, not just D lines, interior defensive lines.
And we had a much worse interior offensive line last year.
So not only did our O line on the interior improve, but we're not playing the Broncos.
We're not playing the Patriots.
we're not playing, the Seahawks.
We're not playing the Rams.
Those are, like, the four best interior defensive lines.
We played all of those.
And even the Steelers will play them again.
They had a pretty good one, did well against them.
The Bucs had a pretty good interior defensive line.
So, yeah, let me finish this video here and- You've also talked about- hop over to the next one here in a second being a little bit shy.
You haven't been shy about that.
Why, where does that come from?
Why are you not shy as a rookie about saying what the goal is?
You know, that's the goal, you know, for every team.
But like I said, just keep working on myself, you know, help my team win games.
that's why I'm here.
And when you got drafted, you had an emotional moment, but it was also with your family.
That's your nephew?
Yeah, that's my nephew.
Man, that was, heartwarming.
tell me about him and kinda the moment and now that, you know, that's part of family history now.
Oh, yeah, my nephew, you know, he looks up to me and, like I said, he's the next one up.
And it was a very emotional moment for me and my family.
And, like I said, it got a lot of attention, but now I'm where I need to be in Houston.
What would you like to do in the community?
you know, you're here today, but as far as, like, things, giving back, all that sort of stuff.

I love the community.
I was, McDonald's brand ambassador back in Ohio State, so- Uh-oh you know, anything.
McDonald's brand ambassador.
You, you come from a, a collegiate football powerhouse.
Talk about what you think you bring to the Texans this year.
Oh, I just bring power.
like I said, a powerful guy to come in and help them.
And, like I said, focusing on what I can- Like I said and what I do, and, the things I need to attack on, that I need to work on, build off those and, like, let everything else handle itself.
You mentioned when you were drafted that the coaching staff, when you met with them before, they just want you to attack- Yeah not to react.
Why is that important to you, and, and why does that sort of bring out the best in your game?
