00:00Every season brings highs,
00:02I'm in my drop top, cruising the streets,
00:06and lows.
00:07No way, because I know one of you two assholes would have done the same thing that I just did.
00:11Are you kidding me?
00:12This trio always has eyes on the market in H-Town.
00:16It's time to buy or sell.
00:19It's stock up.
00:20The arrow's pointed up.
00:22Stock down.
00:23They're selling, Mortimer!
00:25On the drive with Sterner and Hughley.
00:29Every Wednesday afternoon right here on H-Town's No. 1 Afternoon Drive Sports Talk program,
00:34The Drive with Clint Sterner, Ron the Show, Hughley, Tyler Milner here with you.
00:39We do a little stock talk.
00:41Today we're talking more Texans.
00:42Texans preseason action continues tomorrow.
00:45You can hear the game between the Raiders and the Texans right here on these airwaves.
00:49I believe kickoffs at 7 pregame starting at 4 o'clock right here at 95.7 The Fan.
00:55And we're talking Texans ahead of preseason game No. 2.
00:59We're on the show.
01:00Hughley, stock down for you for these Texans at the moment.
01:04Stock down.
01:05A player that isn't being talked about a lot.
01:08But I would stay, and I want, and listen, before people lose their minds, I'm not saying this guy's done
01:13as a player.
01:14But just stock down right now.
01:16Hold on, Joe.
01:17Caden McDonald, Cal.
01:19All right.
01:20Now you hold on.
01:24I almost said something that got me in trouble.
01:26Tell him, bro.
01:27Tell him.
01:27Caden McDonald.
01:29Easy.
01:29You start to look at, you know, and it's hard and maybe unfair to compare him to, you know, the
01:37other rookies.
01:39But he does play a tough position to come in as a rookie.
01:42But I think, I'll be honest with you, I think the other two play tough positions to come in as
01:46a rookie.
01:49Especially, oh, Big Red on the other side.
01:51But I just, I thought potentially he'd be further along than he is right now.
01:58And he's going to be in the rotation, you would think.
02:01But you're just not hearing a ton from him.
02:04Not hearing a lot from him.
02:05And I ain't going to lie to you, Clint.
02:06One thing was telling to me was D'Amico after the game.
02:10If you listen to D'Amico after the game about Keelan Rutledge, you listen to D'Amico after the game
02:15about Marlon Kline.
02:16He'll, D'Amico, the first thing he said at the halftime was Marlon Kline.
02:20You know what his first words were about Caden McDonald after the game when he was asking about him?
02:25A man said, yeah, I got to go take, I got to take a look at the tape.
02:31He hit him with a, got to take a look at the tape.
02:34And we got him some valuable reps because he needs valuable reps.
02:37You guys are good?
02:38Yeah, I just like, it just seems like he's just not, you know, especially compared to the other guys who
02:45went in the first and second round.
02:46His impact is going to be a little while.
02:49So I'll go stock down a little bit right now for Caden McDonald.
02:53There's Ron the Show Hugh Glee stock down.
02:55We're talking about these Houston Texans preseason game number two tomorrow night against the Raiders.
03:01Let's get Clint stock down now for the Texans currently.
03:04Dirty Red?
03:05Well, this one's when you, you look right now, boy, there's, there's several of them that could be stocked down,
03:09but I'm going to go with Wyatt Teller.
03:11Again, there's the money out there, eight plus million a year.
03:16I believe it was in a two-year deal, a good chunk of that guaranteed.
03:20And, and Wyatt Teller appears to be fighting for his life and not only fighting for his life, but, but,
03:27but, but, you know, you'll, the team is, is thinking about moving their first round draft pick rookie center.
03:35That is, that carries the identity of this offensive line, instead of letting him be the centerpiece and be the
03:40center and be the, the, the, the mouthpiece of, of what's going on.
03:44They're having to move him to guard and not because he can't play center or not because the backup center
03:50is necessarily one of the best five, but because the left guard and Wyatt Teller appears to be a problem,
03:57uh, in finding the best five.
04:00He appears to be really struggling to hold a spot in the top five offensive linemen.
04:04And that is, um, boy, to go out and have options with free agents that make anywhere from eight to
04:12$12 million a year, uh, and land on guys that have to be fighting for their job.
04:18Uh, again, not because the guy behind them is a better guard, but because they're just not top five on
04:23the team.
04:24Uh, that is a tough pill to swallow.
04:26So I think stock down right now, I don't know if it's a technique issue, uh, and, and maybe he'll
04:31grasp it.
04:32I don't know if it's a, he can't play any longer issue, uh, and he, and he's not, he's not
04:37going to be a part of this offensive line, but either way it goes, I got to go with Wyatt
04:39Teller boys.
04:41All right.
04:42We got them negatives out of the way.
04:43You are tuned in right now to the drive with Sterner Hughley, myself, Tyler Milner with you riding on a
04:48hump day.
04:48H town's number one afternoon drive program.
04:51Now for the positives ahead of preseason game.
04:54Number two for these Texans as they face off the Raiders tomorrow night, stock up for the Texans.
04:59We're on the show.
05:00Hughley.
05:00All right, man, my stock up.
05:02Uh, for, for the Texans.
05:03And this is, I promise you, I had this, uh, in here before we found out the news this morning,
05:08I had this in there before we found the news about, um, about, uh, Jane, Jane Higgins.
05:16And that is Jared Wayne.
05:17Um, you know, I felt like he was, and I said it after the game, he is going to be
05:23an issue for them to try to, to, to not get on this team.
05:27Because I don't know that Jared Wayne's somebody the way he has played and shown that you can just staff,
05:32stash him on, uh, the, uh, the, um, P squad.
05:38Yeah.
05:38Yeah.
05:38The, the, the, the practice squad.
05:39And, and, and I think other teams would be interested in, in, in maybe bringing them on their roster.
05:45And now, especially with the injury to Higgins and the injuries and the uncertainty behind them with Tank Dell and,
05:52and, and, and Jalen and Jaden, Jalen, Jalen Noel, who's not even been able to, these two not even been
05:57able to hit yet.
05:57No contact yet.
05:59So I, I think Jared Wayne, I think Jared Wayne's definitely going to make the team damn near now.
06:03And, uh, he's hell, they might need him to be Reggie Wayne.
06:07Be honest with you.
06:08The way, uh, the way these guys are going down like flies.
06:10So I think Jared Wayne, uh, his stock is way up right now.
06:14And for you, dirty red Clint Sterner live here on the drive on a Wednesday afternoon in the summer for
06:20these Texans stock up Clint.
06:23Same room, different player for me, Xavier Hutchinson, right?
06:26Look, Nico's going to be Nico Dalton Schultz is going to be Dalton Schultz.
06:29Even if we land in more 12 personnel and you lean into Marlon Klein or, uh, Foster Moreau, however you
06:36want to slice it.
06:36Even if you lean into, uh, just needing two wide receivers, Xavier Hutchinson, I think is going to take a,
06:42a, a big step forward or, or, or at least take a big, uh, a big portion of the responsibilities
06:49that Higgins was shouldering.
06:51I think now falls on, on Xavier Hutchinson.
06:53You leave Nico alone, let him do whatever your plans were with Nico before.
06:57I would imagine they stay the same, although I disagree with it.
06:59I'd imagine they stay the same and, uh, Xavier Hutchinson is going to have to step up and, and they,
07:03they, quite frankly, they got a ton of confidence in, in, uh, in Xavier Hutchinson.
07:07And I expect him to make that transition.
07:09Well, he's been getting a hell of a, I mean, a hell of a lot of run in training camp
07:13anyway.
07:13Uh, so, so this is, this is where a guy like Hutch earns his keep, man.
07:19Um, you know, this is the guy, the third receiver on a team that can jump right in and take
07:23one of the top two guys position when need be, and at least execute the offense.
07:28Um, not as explosive, not as, not as quarterback friendly of a target, not going to create the separation, not
07:33going to be the red zone threat, but definitely a guy that you, uh, that you can trust to, to,
07:38to, um, operate moving forward at that position.
07:41So I think that the stock up right now is for Xavier Hutchinson, Ron, we, I don't, I don't know
07:46that we've seen him to start a season, you know, be in a position to play a prominent role and
07:51to, and to, and to, to look the guy opposite Nico Collins is probably going to have a lot of
07:54opportunity you would think.
07:56And so, um, I don't know that we've seen Xavier Hutchinson from jump, have this kind of opportunity.
08:01So the stock up right now is through the roof for me, for, uh, Xavier Hutchinson.
08:05All right.
08:05Coming up, we'll continue, uh, uh, hopefully get to our countdown here as we get closer to the start of
08:11the race.
08:11Regular season.
08:12And I need to bring this to, uh, to you guys and the people.
08:16And, um, no, I value you guys opinion.
08:19I know Clint will be honest with me.
08:22Um, I kind of felt like I was creepy today during the, uh, the drop-off line at school.
08:30And I know you guys will be honest with me.
08:33If you're admitting it, the odds are you really were.
08:36I just, but I am very, I, that is something I think about.
08:39I know, uh, Dwayne will be honest with me.
08:41Joe, Frank, Rob, the text line.
08:45I know they'll be honest with me.
08:46Joel over there on, uh, Twitch.
08:48I just, I just need, I need somebody.
08:51If you gotta ask, you were creepy.
08:52If you gotta ask, you were creepy.
08:52I don't think that's always the case.
08:54I feel like my, I have a high creepy tolerance.
08:57All right.
08:58I just, I felt it as soon as I got done with it.
09:00We'll, we'll discuss that coming up there.
09:02All right.
09:03And I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I
09:03just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I
09:03just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just. I
09:03just, I just, I just, I just, I just. I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I
09:03just, I just, I just, I just, I just. I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I
09:03just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just. I just, I just, I just, I just, I
