00:00So Cooper Cup officially on the streets like I don't know how anybody in their
00:04right mind can't connect this or doesn't at the very least connected to Houston
00:09with the offense the same terminology Houston being a destination for a lot of
00:14NFL players CJ Stroud showing a lot of promise for an offensive player
00:18obviously and then you have the tie of the Texans new offensive coordinator is
00:22Nick Kaley and he just came out of that system with the Rams apparently you know
00:29very well respected in that building very well respected around the NFL you
00:34gotta think that there is a chance if Cooper Cup has any tread left on a tire
00:38if Cooper Cup has anything to bring to a team Nick Kaley's gonna know what that
00:44is which is going to give the Texans an inside scoop if you will on should they
00:51pursue him can they can they afford him does it make sense and I'm gonna be
00:55honest with you I don't have B Scott I don't have a real strong take either way
01:00on Cooper Cup I know a lot of people inside receiver and so they know that
01:06spot that slots field I don't believe that Christian Kirk
01:09getting in Cooper Cups he ain't even on the same stratosphere as Cooper Cup
01:14right so I don't believe that and I believe that you can have you can do a
01:18lot of work with two inside quote-unquote inside receivers I think
01:23Cooper Cup if he's got tread left on his tire is a versatile receiver that
01:26brings more than just an inside guy to the table a good offensive coordinator a
01:31healthy Christian Kirk a healthy Cooper Cup would would do work not to mention
01:36Nico Collins is opposite I mean that would be nasty assuming there's tread
01:39left on the tire I don't really have a strong hell yeah we got to go get him or
01:44what are y'all out there doing but I'm gonna be honest with you B Scott I've
01:48thought about this for a long time now I thought he would probably go back until
01:53they to the Rams until they signed Devontae Adams I was like oh wait a
01:56minute so there ain't this this is real yeah he's gonna hit the market he's
01:59gonna be on the streets I don't have a real strong take either way but for
02:03whatever reason for the last week I've had a hard time getting Nick Kaley and
02:08Cooper Cup and the fact that the Texans are a wide receiver needy football team
02:12I can't get that out of my mind man well I do have a strong opinion on it come
02:15on bro get him no no go get Cooper my strong opinion and for me cuz I'm
02:20surprised because it seems obvious for the reasons that you laid out and also
02:24obvious because it's Cooper Cup and it's not like you're asking him it's not like
02:28you would be signing him to be the Cooper Cup of old or to necessarily even
02:33be some version of that for you you have that in Nico Collins now and Christian
02:37Kirk for what it's worth I think is a perfectly fine number two or number
02:41three receiver if Nico Cooper Cup or somebody of that
02:46ilk or somebody of that caliber is also on the team like that just gives you all
02:51the more depth so my I mean my hot take and I feel like it's weird for it to be
02:55a hot take is damn it go sign go sign Cooper Cup I mean think about it Clint
02:59it's not like you're doing the Stephon Diggs thing to go get Cooper Cup where
03:04you're trading a second round pick and you're or you're you're trading back and
03:07you're passing up on the opportunity cost to go get a really good young wide
03:10receiver just to go pay an older one who doesn't play like this is to me
03:16enough and we talked about this yesterday about you know low risk high
03:19reward moves that's what I feel like this is all it's gonna cost you is money
03:23well you've been making moves over the last several days to free up money to
03:27create money to allow you to make this type of move right you traded Laramie
03:32Tunsil you let Shaq Mason go all of these different moves that you've
03:35already made and I know there's there's math with all of they sign guys I get it
03:38but you understand what I'm saying like you've made moves that should make it
03:42possible for you to go out there and at least spend some money on a guy that can
03:46really help you win and it's not gonna cost you a draft
