00:00Foley Fadakasi, he's back. Foley Fadakasi. I'm not going to lie to you, Clint.
00:08I felt like I knew what you were going to get from him.
00:11Like, I thought coming in, he's going to be solid. There's nothing really special.
00:14He'll probably be a good run stopper.
00:17But I would even say last year, Foley was more productive, better.
00:21The only thing, like, it was clear when he was hurt that they missed him.
00:26Yes.
00:26All right, like, there were big plays he made.
00:30I remember a big stop he had in the Detroit game.
00:33But it was clear when they missed him.
00:35He was a lot better than I thought he was going to be.
00:40I thought he was just going to be a solid, dependable veteran that you knew
00:43was going to be where he was supposed to be and not mess anything up
00:47and not really give special.
00:48He was good. I like this thought of bringing him back.
00:51I like it a lot.
00:52I mean, because here's the deal, is if you're not going to have a guy inside there
00:59that is going to be just a wrecker, right, that just game wrecks kind of deal,
01:03which they don't have.
01:04And those guys aren't available very often, right?
01:07What the Texans do have is plenty of guys that can penetrate,
01:10plenty of guys that can move and shake and make plays in passing situations,
01:15plenty of guys that can rush pass.
01:16What the Texans are going to need,
01:19and I still think they even need more of it, is that big box.
01:22Everybody can hold a double team that can just hold his ground
01:27and not get pushed two, three yards at the snap kind of deal.
01:32And I think Foley Fadakasi brings that, at the very least,
01:35he brings that level of stoutness to the interior defensive line.
01:38And so, yeah, I mean, this is a good get, an important get,
01:43and it wouldn't hurt my feelings one bit if you didn't find another guy
01:47similar to him in terms of just being able to bow your neck
01:49and anchor down with that kind of ability.
01:52Yeah, I saw him.
01:53I was like, I wonder if they're going to bring him back.
01:55Because he was good.
01:57As you said, it was a good combination when you would see, you know,
02:01hey, you got him, and then you come back and you bring a guy like, you know,
02:04Edwards Jr.
02:05or you bring Danico Autry in the inside on passing downs.
02:11It was a good, good mix.
02:13And really, like, I mean, he is just hard to move out of the way.
02:17Like, and what he does, he is really, really, really good at that.
02:22So, like the move back, they bring Foley Fadakasi back as another dude in the middle of that defense.
02:29As now you're looking at the combinations of Foley Fadakasi,
02:34you got Sheldon Rankins who they brought back,
02:36and obviously Danico Autry is still in the mix.
02:40So, they've got a pretty good crew there in the middle.
02:44As we said, that seems to be the weakness.
02:47If there is a weakness to the defense, you say, what's the most vulnerable spot?
02:52It would be the interior D-line.
02:54And if Fadakasi brings a run stopper to that and should be a good move.
03:04Sorry, D'Amico Ryan.
