Podcast appearances and mentions of blake fisher

Marc Vandermeer and John Harris open the week with Tuesday power rankings and narratives, working through a Monday night in Denver, a strange Week 1 across the AFC and the tape from Sunday's loss to Buffalo — including the end zone pass interference Harris calls the most important play of the game. Then T Blake Fisher joins the show from the Hyundai Texans Radio studio to talk about the offseason body work behind his year-two jump, why consistency is the word he'd pass down to college players, moving between left and right tackle, and what it's like playing for offensive line coach Cole Popovich. Later, a replayed pregame conversation: Sean Pendergast and Seth Payne catch up with Texans legend Whitney Mercilus on his 86-yard interception return in Nashville, the 2012 defensive line room, the veterans who built him, and life after football. The show closes with TV Tuesday.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Marc Vandermeer and John Harris put the 2026 season on the record. On this Friday edition of Texans All-Access, the guys go division by division across the NFL — recusing themselves from the AFC South — and lock in a winner and a surprise team for all seven of the rest. The AFC West gives them the most trouble. The NFC North is a coin flip. The NFC East gets sorted top to bottom, and both hosts land in the same place. Before the picks, Marc takes you inside Season Premiere presented by Amegy Bank, the Houston Texans Foundation night that celebrated 25 years of impact. He shares the backstage moment he loved most — introducing Texans Legend Glover Quin to Kamari Lassiter and Calen Bullock, two eras of Houston defensive backs meeting for the first time. Andre Johnson and Travis Johnson brought the energy for the Legends against the current locker room, and the night raised significant money for the Foundation. John Harris then pulls the best of Executive Vice President/General Manager Nick Caserio's appearance with Sean Pendergast and Seth Payne on 95.7 The Fan. Caserio breaks down what rookie Keylan Rutledge has shown across five weeks of camp, how the offensive line group has taken shape with Aireontae Ersery, Evan Brown, Trent Brown and Blake Fisher, and how veteran Wyatt Teller has handled a new scheme. Caserio also offers an encouraging progress report on Tank Dell. John closes by walking through the NFL.com writers' Super Bowl LXI forecasts, where the Houston Texans drew votes from Kevin Patra and Gregg Rosenthal — both built on the same premise: this is the elite defense in the National Football League. Week 1 against the Buffalo Bills at Reliant Stadium is September 13.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Next, Tim Watts of On3's BamaOnline joins to discuss how wildly different the program feels under new coach Kalen DeBoer. They're playing music at practice, which Nick Saban didn't do. They're letting assistant coaches do interviews. Nick Saban didn't do that, either. But DeBoer was never going to work exactly like Saban did. But he's alike in some ways. The Crimson Tide had a massive wave of visitors in the first week of spring practice, and it appears they're ready to compete for the same kind of players they did under Saban.

Week Zero of the College Football season is upon us. This weekend kicks off the 2023 Season and the NFL Draft cycle for all eligible prospects. DP and Keith highlight which big-time prospects to watch for during Saturday's slate of games. The Notre Dame Fighting Irish has two outstanding offensive tackle prospects, Joe Alt and Blake Fisher that DP is going to be watching closely all season. Can quarterback Sam Hartman lead Notre Dame to more than a winning record? The USC Trojans have the best QB in the country, Caleb Williams. DP believes, his first game is setting up for a second Heisman campaign and to quiet doubters of his 2024 NFL Draft QB1 status. The guys are "Facing the Spread". Notre Dame is a 20.5-point favorite over Navy. Will DP and Keith agree with the spread? Lastly, they pick each matchup on the schedule. Who will have the most correct picks after week zero?Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Harry'sGet your best shave ever this summer with Harry's razors and skin care products.
