1
00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:13,560
Speaker 1: This is the OTP presented by Farm Bureau of Health Plans.

2
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:16,799
Speaker 1: You can plan on Farm Bureau Health Plans for better coverage,

3
00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:20,840
Speaker 1: better rates, and better customer service. They've been providing Tennesseeans

4
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:24,000
Speaker 1: with the home field advantage for almost seventy five years.

5
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:27,000
Speaker 1: With Amy Wells, I'm Mike Keith and we're in Tampa, Florida,

6
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:32,200
Speaker 1: day two of practices between the Titans and the Buccaneers,

7
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:35,880
Speaker 1: and we're joined by Titans Radio's head coach Dave McGinnis

8
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:38,239
Speaker 1: to give us kind of a wrap up of the

9
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:41,880
Speaker 1: two days. Coach Mack, welcome, Thank you. It's always great

10
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:45,560
Speaker 1: to be with you guys. All right, So coach Mike

11
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:50,280
Speaker 1: Vrabel was at the podium after practice after he visited

12
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 1: with Tom Brady for a second day in a row,

13
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:53,800
Speaker 1: and he was asked how he thought the team looked

14
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 1: today and he said, I thought we sucked. Okay, well

15
00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 1: that's pretty That's pretty clear, isn't it. It was really clear.

16
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:05,040
Speaker 1: I thought he was kidding at first. The delivery sounded

17
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:07,840
Speaker 1: almost like he was being ironic, and then he doubled

18
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:10,320
Speaker 1: down on it again and you were like, oh, oh,

19
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:14,480
Speaker 1: he's answer. Yeah for him to come out and say that, obviously,

20
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 1: that would indicate he's not pleased with what he saw

21
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:20,560
Speaker 1: on day two. I think he was pretty pleased on

22
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 1: day one. So what was not as good today in

23
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 1: the mind of Rabel as yesterday. Let me answer it

24
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 1: this way. Now, the three of us, we distinctly watched

25
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:35,120
Speaker 1: one group every day. So the first day we watched

26
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:37,399
Speaker 1: the defense, all right, and then the next day we

27
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:41,319
Speaker 1: watched the offense. Well, Mike Vrabel kind of switched that,

28
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 1: and so we thought the first day that we watched

29
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 1: the defense really had a nice day, a nice day, Okay. Well,

30
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 1: clearly today they didn't have as nice a day, and

31
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 1: I don't think and what he said, and we were

32
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 1: watching the offense today, they weren't quite as clean, and

33
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 1: a lot of things that they were doing. Now, they

34
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 1: had one starter on the offensive line plane right, you know,

35
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:08,240
Speaker 1: Dylan Raden swapping both sides, one starter being Roger Saffold,

36
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:11,240
Speaker 1: you know, was playing on the offensive line. The receiving group.

37
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 1: The receiving group was down. They were down the running

38
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:17,520
Speaker 1: back three. But both quarterbacks, and I say both quarterbacks,

39
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill and Logan Woods were not real sharp today.

40
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 1: They were not very sharp. We watched them early on,

41
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 1: and my opinion was in the one on ones and

42
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:30,519
Speaker 1: the red zone, both single and double one on one

43
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 1: against one, and then two two against two, they were

44
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 1: pretty decent. But once it got to the team and

45
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:37,240
Speaker 1: the other thing that happened and I know you're going

46
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:41,800
Speaker 1: to hit this is it got to the way every

47
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 1: time you do this. The second day gets it got real,

48
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 1: real chippy, and most of it came from the special

49
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 1: teams period. Four scuffles, four pretty big fights. They the

50
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 1: two head coaches basically say, well, there weren't punches thrown,

51
00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:01,519
Speaker 1: there weren't fights, and Tonio Brown ripped a Titan's helmet off,

52
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 1: so it you know, it got a little Maybe it

53
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 1: wasn't technically a fight like Joe Frazier against Muhammad Ali,

54
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:11,960
Speaker 1: but there would have been penalties thrown had this been

55
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 1: a football game based on what happened, and it felt

56
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:20,240
Speaker 1: as though Tampa thought they got worked a little bit.

57
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:24,520
Speaker 1: On Wednesday, Bruce arians even alluded to that in what

58
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 1: his coaches. He said, their butts got chewed out and

59
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:32,639
Speaker 1: so they came with a little extrajuice today. Well, yeah,

60
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 1: from personal experience of having done this and worked against

61
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 1: several teams during my coaching career in the National Football League,

62
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 1: when we did this in training camp. If you are

63
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 1: the team that didn't quite come out on top of

64
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 1: the first day, you can guarantee, Mike, that's that's exactly

65
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 1: what was happening in their facilities last night, going really, okay,

66
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 1: you think this is all right? Is this how we

67
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 1: got to be world champions? This group right here won

68
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 1: the AFC South, but they should have won the World

69
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 1: Championship the way they played today against you? Is this

70
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 1: okay with you? And you could tell you could tell

71
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 1: that's what it was. And it started. It always starts

72
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 1: with the gunner drill, because the gunner drill is let's

73
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 1: explain what this is. Go ahead, okay. So it's it's

74
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:16,599
Speaker 1: a punt cover unit. The punt team has the two

75
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 1: men on the outside, what you're gunners, and that guy

76
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:24,799
Speaker 1: is being held up generally by two guys, so he's

77
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 1: working on getting through the double team. The opposing team

78
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 1: is working on putting on a better double team. And

79
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 1: where it started was the Titans punting, sending the gunner

80
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:40,719
Speaker 1: down the Buccaneers with two guys trying to hold him up.

81
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:44,160
Speaker 1: And from there the gunner drill went awry, Well, absolutely,

82
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:45,920
Speaker 1: it doesn't it. And they work it like this, they

83
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:48,839
Speaker 1: work two against one on one side and one on

84
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 1: one on the other side. The other thing about it

85
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 1: is it's always the second day, so everybody is gunned up.

86
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 1: It's live. It's live until the whistle, and that's a

87
00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 1: whistle that's forty yards down the field. And the other

88
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 1: thing that is so true about it is is these

89
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:06,839
Speaker 1: guys are fighting for jobs. These are the truly guys

90
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 1: that are fighting for jobs. And so once it got started,

91
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 1: and when once the other thing that happens is everybody

92
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:17,919
Speaker 1: else on the team they're watching. No, nothing else is

93
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 1: going on. The only group that is not just right

94
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 1: there on the on the line watching everybody are the

95
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 1: are the lineman because you know they're off a little bit,

96
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 1: but they're paying attention because they know what's going on

97
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 1: over there. And once it once, somebody and it happened

98
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 1: the first time today when the Titans were the gunners,

99
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:40,159
Speaker 1: and and the and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers were the

100
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 1: double team, they took him to the ground, I mean

101
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 1: and yeah, and body slammed him, I mean body slammed him.

102
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 1: The whistle blew, and the whistle blown means now we're

103
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 1: gonna body slam you. And that's exactly exactly what happened,

104
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 1: and it was on from then on. Yeah. And I

105
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 1: think another thing that we have to take into account,

106
00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,359
Speaker 1: because we've talked a lot about how the Bucks after

107
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:02,280
Speaker 1: day one and went back to work and had that

108
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 1: film to evaluate, the other thing we have to remember

109
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:07,719
Speaker 1: is the Titans, after having a good day, also had

110
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 1: film that they went back and evaluated, and they had

111
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 1: things they were trying to work on and accomplish. And

112
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 1: so some of that the specific things that maybe we

113
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:19,039
Speaker 1: are not privy too exactly what they wanted to work on,

114
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:21,720
Speaker 1: what they wanted to improve upon, the notes that they

115
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 1: had been given to try and correct today in practice,

116
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 1: if Mike Vrabel didn't see those things happening, that could

117
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 1: contribute to his overall analysis of how the day went.

118
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 1: Great point. Yeah, and the other part of it too.

119
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 1: Several of the Titans' biggest name players did not practice today,

120
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 1: correct and even if they were out there, Derek Henry

121
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 1: was out there just for some individual but he didn't

122
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:50,360
Speaker 1: get involved in any of the team periods. Taylor Lawe

123
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 1: was off to a bike very quickly after individual No

124
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 1: A J. Brown, no Julio Jones. I mean, several of

125
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 1: the best players for the Titans we're not out there.

126
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:05,479
Speaker 1: And you mentioned in the offensive line Roger Staffeld was

127
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 1: the only starter that practiced in team periods. There were

128
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 1: more Bucks starters that practice than Titans starters. Now, what

129
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 1: I wonder is how hard is it to sit and

130
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 1: evaluate that tape because Bruce arians set up front, we're

131
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 1: not playing the starters in the game Saturday night, correct,

132
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 1: Wednesday and Thursday are our days, and then those guys

133
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 1: are sitting. So how hard is it to evaluate when

134
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 1: the world champions have more of their good players than

135
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 1: the Titans had on the field today. When the coaches

136
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 1: are looking at it, they are going to take into

137
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 1: account who it is. But psychologically, it was a great

138
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 1: move today by Rabel because these young guys are going

139
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:53,320
Speaker 1: to be playing in this game, and so how gunned

140
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 1: up do you think they're going to be on Saturday

141
00:07:56,560 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 1: to rebound from today? Are they better be? Right? They're

142
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 1: going to be They're going to be because but to judge,

143
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 1: the coaches really love this because now you're I watched

144
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 1: Dylan Radins quite a bit today. And the first snapping

145
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 1: team that I saw him going against in a run

146
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 1: period in Dominican Sus On the other side. Now, I

147
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 1: promise you he played one game in colleges last year

148
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 1: against Arkansas State and Dominican Sioux didn't play at Arkansas State, right,

149
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 1: and he's never seen anybody like in Dominican Sioux for

150
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 1: that many snaps face to face, and it was a

151
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,760
Speaker 1: great thing for him. Now was he perfect, No, but

152
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 1: he wasn't. He was pretty decent. We all three sat

153
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:39,080
Speaker 1: there and watched it and went okay. So I think they,

154
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 1: you know, liked it a lot watching them do that.

155
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:44,959
Speaker 1: But at the same time, you want to be honest

156
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 1: with your players, and I think maybe what Mike was

157
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 1: talking about too was just the overall tone and the

158
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 1: timber of it. Whether those four dust ups had anything

159
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 1: to do with it, I don't because I agree. I've

160
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 1: seen much worse fights. I've seen fights that cleared the

161
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:02,520
Speaker 1: field and you couldn't practice together. Again, I've been involved

162
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:05,679
Speaker 1: in those that wasn't this coach, Mac, You're a pretty

163
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:08,839
Speaker 1: experienced guy. You coached in the league for a little while.

164
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:11,680
Speaker 1: The concentration of the work that you are able to

165
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:15,439
Speaker 1: do in a joint practice. Is it more than what

166
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 1: you're able to do when you're practicing against your own team. Yes,

167
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:22,400
Speaker 1: it's invaluable. It's invaluable. Now the intensity of it. You

168
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 1: could not practice like this for a straight week, right

169
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:29,840
Speaker 1: because it's like it's it's a game, tempo practice and

170
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:32,280
Speaker 1: the players will tell you that, I mean it's I

171
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 1: mean when you get ready for this stuff, I mean

172
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:38,080
Speaker 1: you put the tape on a little tighter because it's

173
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 1: it's a game. You couldn't do this for a week.

174
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 1: Two days is perfect. Roger Staffeld said in the post

175
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 1: practice interview that these really were two games. Yes, that

176
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:52,719
Speaker 1: Wednesday and Thursday were two games in his mind in

177
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 1: terms of the intensity and the effort that you had.

178
00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 1: So that's why you've really got to take Friday off.

179
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 1: You got to take Friday off, and you've got the

180
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 1: way that we came into it. You know, they had

181
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:06,320
Speaker 1: they had the practice for the fans, you know, at

182
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 1: Nissan Stadium, but that wasn't a full goal. So no,

183
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 1: you you're you're still in training camp and that's why

184
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:14,959
Speaker 1: you only do Some people have done two of these,

185
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 1: but you did two of these. Mainly when you still

186
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 1: had four weeks of you know, of what was going on.

187
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 1: Now we've got three weeks of it. I mean, once

188
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 1: is enough. Always felt like once was enough because you

189
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:30,319
Speaker 1: get geared up for it mentally and you've got to

190
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 1: get geared up for it physically. And you're out of town.

191
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 1: You know, the team left Tuesday afternoon, so you're away,

192
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:41,680
Speaker 1: you know, Tuesday night, Wednesday, Thursday, practice, Friday, you're going

193
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 1: to do some meeting type stuff and walk through type

194
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:47,720
Speaker 1: things or some sort of light practice. Saturday nights, you

195
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 1: play the game, and then you're getting home very early

196
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 1: in the morning on Sunday. So it's a long period

197
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 1: of time. It's a long period of time, and clearly

198
00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:58,800
Speaker 1: the visiting team in these types of situations have more

199
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:01,440
Speaker 1: stress on this, sure more. There's much more stress, and

200
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 1: there's stress. There's much more stress throughout the whole organization.

201
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:07,800
Speaker 1: I mean, I've just done it from a lot of

202
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 1: different levels, and I know, I mean, guys, the stress,

203
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:12,679
Speaker 1: let's talk about it. We're talking about a Titans podcast here.

204
00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:16,719
Speaker 1: The stress for our equipment crew. I they gotta get

205
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 1: they gotta get washing done every day. They don't have

206
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 1: their stuff, so they've got to get the Tampa people

207
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 1: to wash their stuff, and then they've got to go

208
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:25,680
Speaker 1: get it, bring it back to the hotel, sort it,

209
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 1: lay it out. It's a stress when you're the visting group,

210
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:31,600
Speaker 1: there's going to be some added stress on you for

211
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:34,679
Speaker 1: what you brought up, and then just the daily organization

212
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 1: of it. Well, especially in COVID circumstances that we still

213
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 1: have going on. It's not the lockdown type thing that

214
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 1: we were doing a year ago, but there are still

215
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:49,160
Speaker 1: protocols that you have to meet that make moving around

216
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 1: much harder. Well, we found that out the first day, right,

217
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 1: I mean, we still have to wear the tracers. Everybody

218
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 1: has to wear the tracers, and you're not getting on

219
00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:58,200
Speaker 1: that field if you don't have a tracer on. And

220
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 1: so that's a great point, Mike, and we left ours

221
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 1: at the hotel. It was a long story. Bait turned

222
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:04,840
Speaker 1: out fine. We had to go back and get the

223
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 1: tracers before we could watch the first We missed ten

224
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 1: minutes of practice. But yeah, I mean it was can

225
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 1: I say something? Sure, I stayed there while y'all came

226
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 1: back to get the I watched practice and then I

227
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 1: got I got some red beads from the part lady

228
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:19,960
Speaker 1: handing them out there to the to the fans. So

229
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:22,840
Speaker 1: I made out really well. I got beads and tracer.

230
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 1: You're sat, you're sat in the stands while we went

231
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 1: back to the to the hotel. I want to talk

232
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:32,400
Speaker 1: about Caleb Farley for AST Yes, okay, So Caleb Farley,

233
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:37,839
Speaker 1: first round pick Virginia Tech, started preseason on NFI coming

234
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 1: off the back surgery, worked his way in. He comes

235
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:43,800
Speaker 1: to Tampa having done more over the last few weeks,

236
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 1: but did not play in the Atlanta preseason games. So

237
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:50,200
Speaker 1: this is sort of a bit of a baptism in

238
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:54,440
Speaker 1: a different way for him. Yesterday has pretty nice practice.

239
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:59,080
Speaker 1: Going against Mike Evans today, got worked, got worked, got

240
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 1: worked and worked. And so for him having both things

241
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:08,400
Speaker 1: happen good and bad, that's about the best thing that

242
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:10,960
Speaker 1: could happen to him, right, Well, you're on you're so

243
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:13,240
Speaker 1: on point with that. It's the best thing could happen

244
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:16,720
Speaker 1: to him because Mike Evans is Mike heavn oh yeah

245
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:20,439
Speaker 1: and so and people nationally made a big deal out

246
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:22,440
Speaker 1: of that play he made on that deep ball the

247
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 1: first day against going, Well, here's Caleb Farley, you know,

248
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:27,439
Speaker 1: knocking away a deep pass for Mike Evans. Well, Mike

249
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:30,679
Speaker 1: Evans goes, okay, all right, let's try it again. So

250
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 1: let's try it again. Let's try And that's the best

251
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:36,960
Speaker 1: thing could happen to Caleb Farley, it really is, because

252
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:39,600
Speaker 1: he's got he's got to realize that's the world that

253
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 1: he has going to be living in now for the

254
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 1: rest of his NFL career now, sooner or later. What

255
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:47,839
Speaker 1: we want him to develop into is to be that

256
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:50,640
Speaker 1: dude that you know that some young receivers going, wow,

257
00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:52,640
Speaker 1: if I could just get open one time in a

258
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 1: joint practice against to Caleb Farley, I'd really be doing good.

259
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 1: And so that that happened to him down here in

260
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 1: those practices in valuable time, invaluable. He's a first round

261
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:06,080
Speaker 1: draft pick based still a rookie, so he's still going

262
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 1: to have those same welcome to the NFL moments. Well,

263
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:11,599
Speaker 1: and he didn't have one in a preseason game, and

264
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:14,880
Speaker 1: he didn't so he's even just a little bit behind.

265
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 1: And yet he's still having had the opportunity to get

266
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 1: this experience on August eighteenth and nineteenth, not September twelve. Absolutely,

267
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 1: so he's in a really good spot where he is

268
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 1: coming back into the fold. We're seeing him do a

269
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:30,160
Speaker 1: little bit more every single day, and he's still able

270
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:34,440
Speaker 1: to participate in these experiences that are helping him have

271
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:38,080
Speaker 1: those moments, kind of understand where he fits in in

272
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:40,800
Speaker 1: that pecking order a little bit. He is able to

273
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:43,560
Speaker 1: make plays and we've seen some of that potential in there,

274
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 1: which is great, but there's also the realization that he

275
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:51,000
Speaker 1: is still very new to this level of play, and

276
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:54,960
Speaker 1: I think that watching him progress and get better and better, yeah,

277
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:57,760
Speaker 1: you see flashes and you get really excited, but we

278
00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:00,200
Speaker 1: can't put all of our eggs in the ca of

279
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:04,360
Speaker 1: Farley being the top contributor in the entire world come

280
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 1: September twelfth like that. He's still a rookie. He's still

281
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 1: knew and he's going to continue to have these moments.

282
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:14,200
Speaker 1: It doesn't mean he's backsliding. It means he's a rookie.

283
00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:17,320
Speaker 1: What year did he play his last really real game

284
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 1: where he's tackling people twenty nineteen? Thank you? That was

285
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 1: only his second year to ever play defensive back, So

286
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:26,240
Speaker 1: he's doing okay even more, thank you. And to me,

287
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:29,720
Speaker 1: the thing that the thing that happens with this is

288
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:33,680
Speaker 1: that those learning experiences. I mean, they make deep marks

289
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:37,120
Speaker 1: on rookies, and if you take those deep marks as

290
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 1: a positive, you will accelerate your learning curve well. And

291
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:44,600
Speaker 1: what we've seen so Raidents is a week and a

292
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:50,200
Speaker 1: half ahead of Farley. Yes, and Raidents really struggled the

293
00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:53,800
Speaker 1: first day in past absolutely and to see him today,

294
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 1: he's a different player. He looked like a competent NFL

295
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:03,120
Speaker 1: offensive line. If you watched him practice today, you didn't

296
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:07,920
Speaker 1: think rookie, right, You thought that's a competent NFL offensive

297
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:11,560
Speaker 1: lineman doing not saying he's all pro, not saying he's

298
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:15,200
Speaker 1: going to Canton, just saying he's doing a job. Give

299
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:19,640
Speaker 1: Caleb Farley ten more days and let's have the same conversation.

300
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:21,600
Speaker 1: We all three stood there and we were we were

301
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 1: going to watch raidings and we were saying in the

302
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:25,880
Speaker 1: end zone, they were running a run period in the

303
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 1: end zone from the ten yard line, right about fifteen

304
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:31,240
Speaker 1: yards from us, so we could see everything. We focused

305
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:33,080
Speaker 1: on him solely, and the first thing that you said,

306
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:35,680
Speaker 1: Mike Keith was sus lined up on him and I

307
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 1: said good, and it was it was as an outside

308
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 1: zone run. He got a hit around there, he blocked

309
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:44,160
Speaker 1: him and in the back went outside and those things.

310
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:48,240
Speaker 1: Just as you said, you can see the progression and

311
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:50,320
Speaker 1: and and people. You know, I want our listeners to

312
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:53,480
Speaker 1: understand the NFL is not an instant I mean, it's

313
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:57,040
Speaker 1: not an instant. Get it's just not. Someone else that

314
00:16:57,120 --> 00:17:02,240
Speaker 1: looks a lot more confident in what they're doing is

315
00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:06,960
Speaker 1: Mason Kinsey. And I've noticed that from the Atlanta Falcons

316
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:09,880
Speaker 1: game to now when he had some success in that

317
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:13,080
Speaker 1: game and he was able to get his feet under

318
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:15,240
Speaker 1: him a little bit. Not saying he's the best wide

319
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:17,280
Speaker 1: receiver I've ever seen in my entire life forever, and

320
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:19,960
Speaker 1: he's going to change our entire offense, but he looks

321
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:23,439
Speaker 1: more confident. He looks like he's thinking less and playing

322
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:28,240
Speaker 1: more clearly, and clearly he has a different body than

323
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:30,879
Speaker 1: he had a year ago when he was in training camp. Ye,

324
00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:34,679
Speaker 1: he understands the routine. In his second training camp, he

325
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:40,240
Speaker 1: understood the physical Rickers, He understands the little things clearly better.

326
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:43,840
Speaker 1: He knows what he's supposed to do. Now. Is he

327
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:46,760
Speaker 1: gonna be good enough to make this football team? I

328
00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:49,400
Speaker 1: think that's the question that's still out there right now.

329
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:53,920
Speaker 1: And in Nick Westbrook Aquina, and his performance makes that

330
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:59,720
Speaker 1: tougher because coach Nick Westbrook, Aquina continues to play receiver,

331
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:03,399
Speaker 1: and he's a good special teams player. If you're gonna

332
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:07,320
Speaker 1: be wide receiver four or five and be on the

333
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:11,000
Speaker 1: fifty three, but most especially up on the forty eight

334
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:13,680
Speaker 1: on game day, you've got to be able to play teams.

335
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:16,920
Speaker 1: Nick Westbrook, a Keena is one player that I think

336
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:19,200
Speaker 1: can come out of these the two days of practice

337
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:23,600
Speaker 1: against Tampa Bay feeling pretty good about himself because both days,

338
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:27,520
Speaker 1: both days individually, because we've all three focused on him

339
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:30,159
Speaker 1: today and all he does is make plays. He just

340
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:33,080
Speaker 1: continues to make catches, you know, and she brings she

341
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:37,520
Speaker 1: brings up Kenzie, I mean today or not. You know.

342
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:41,080
Speaker 1: The second day, he was hard to cover in those

343
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:44,760
Speaker 1: little short zone routes. And both of these guys for

344
00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:47,760
Speaker 1: and I know you two guys understand this for our listeners.

345
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 1: Both of these guys understand how thin the wire is

346
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:56,320
Speaker 1: they're walking on. And that's why you see them practicing

347
00:18:56,400 --> 00:19:00,119
Speaker 1: like they are. Improvement. It's improvement from one minute to

348
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:02,320
Speaker 1: the next, no matter what your situation is or where

349
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:06,760
Speaker 1: you've came in to be able to see marked improvement

350
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:10,280
Speaker 1: from one period of time to another period of time.

351
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:14,480
Speaker 1: That's what everyone's trying to do. That's where the thing

352
00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:17,200
Speaker 1: that people need to understand. For players like this, the

353
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:21,199
Speaker 1: mental strain is much harder than the physical strain because

354
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:25,680
Speaker 1: every day they've got to get dialed in. They can't

355
00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:28,720
Speaker 1: have an off day, and you can't do that if

356
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:31,960
Speaker 1: you're not just mentally that's all you're thinking of. Well,

357
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:36,040
Speaker 1: I think about two the fact now Westbrook Akeena initially

358
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:38,720
Speaker 1: made the football team on the practice squad, and then

359
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:41,480
Speaker 1: he was promoted right before the Denver game, and then

360
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:45,439
Speaker 1: he never went backward. So his life changed in the

361
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:49,399
Speaker 1: space of time with the practice squad setup this year

362
00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:53,679
Speaker 1: as it was last year. For a guy like Mason Kenzie,

363
00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:58,160
Speaker 1: if he can get on the practice squad, then he's

364
00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:00,760
Speaker 1: probably going to have a good chance some point to

365
00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:04,199
Speaker 1: get on the active roster and make that mark. And

366
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 1: so there's more of an opening and there's more of

367
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:11,800
Speaker 1: an opportunity, whereas the practice squad before was much more

368
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:16,320
Speaker 1: just about development is restrictive. It was very restrictive. It's

369
00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:19,160
Speaker 1: not restrictive now. And you make a very wonderful point

370
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:21,560
Speaker 1: because if he's on if kens he's on the practice squad.

371
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:24,520
Speaker 1: Guess what he's doing. He's running slot routes every day

372
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:27,119
Speaker 1: as a as a scout look against the number one

373
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:30,440
Speaker 1: defense every day, every day, every day and getting better

374
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:33,040
Speaker 1: and better at that. And so it's a great point

375
00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:36,360
Speaker 1: and that's why. But to get there to that, he

376
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:40,600
Speaker 1: can't afford to have a slideback. No, when you're that player,

377
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:43,879
Speaker 1: when you're those players, guys, I mean it's it's you know,

378
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:47,000
Speaker 1: And having counseled players for a long time when I

379
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:50,600
Speaker 1: was coaching during these times, the mental strain sometimes is

380
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:53,480
Speaker 1: much worse than the physical strain on him. But to

381
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:56,920
Speaker 1: your point, Amy, it doesn't seem to be getting to him.

382
00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:02,160
Speaker 1: His consistency level. Speaking of Mason Kens, his consistency level

383
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:04,760
Speaker 1: feels like it's there all the time now, right, And

384
00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:07,680
Speaker 1: it seems like that is something that has set in

385
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:09,720
Speaker 1: in the last week or so. It feels like he

386
00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:12,640
Speaker 1: had some success and saw that he could perform in

387
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:15,879
Speaker 1: that space, in the space of a National Football League

388
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:19,040
Speaker 1: game and really be successful. And it also helps he

389
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:20,600
Speaker 1: was able to do it in front of his family

390
00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:22,920
Speaker 1: and his friends, and he had a big moment afterwards.

391
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:26,400
Speaker 1: All of that is confidence boosters, though, And I think

392
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:29,880
Speaker 1: that being able to translate that success to the practice

393
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:33,040
Speaker 1: field and continue to be consistent in what you're doing

394
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:35,199
Speaker 1: and grow on that that's a big deal. Well and

395
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:38,240
Speaker 1: not just be the happy story, right, Oh yeah, I

396
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:41,840
Speaker 1: mean that wants that. I mean, we like the happy story.

397
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:45,080
Speaker 1: The crowd. The crowd likes the happy story. But this

398
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:47,880
Speaker 1: is a guy who's coming out of a D three

399
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:50,919
Speaker 1: school in Barry College. And I don't know if you

400
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:53,439
Speaker 1: know much about Barry College. It's a really good school.

401
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 1: It costs fifty two thousand dollars a year to go

402
00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:58,280
Speaker 1: to school there. That's a very good school. Well, and

403
00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:05,640
Speaker 1: D three they're no athletic scholarships. Nope. He was working

404
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:08,960
Speaker 1: twenty hours a week during the school year and then

405
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 1: forty hours a week during the summer to pay the

406
00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:16,119
Speaker 1: tuition and the room and board to play not just

407
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:20,000
Speaker 1: football but also to run track at Barry College. And

408
00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:23,359
Speaker 1: so it's a great story. They've they've only had a

409
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:28,000
Speaker 1: football program for eight years. And so if he makes

410
00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:31,480
Speaker 1: this roster, you know, you're pulling for him, you're excited,

411
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:34,439
Speaker 1: But all that throw that out the window. I'm not

412
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:36,639
Speaker 1: trying to just throw water on it. But the fact is,

413
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:41,920
Speaker 1: can he help the Tennessee Titans win. They're not keeping

414
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:46,680
Speaker 1: him up to make him inactive on game day. They're

415
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:49,640
Speaker 1: they're not gonna keep him up because they think he's

416
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:52,639
Speaker 1: a good guy and a good story. Can he help

417
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:55,920
Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans win? It is that kind of business.

418
00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:58,400
Speaker 1: The fact of the matter is the way he's been

419
00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:03,080
Speaker 1: performing since Atlanta gives you confidence that he's not just

420
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:06,560
Speaker 1: a story. He looks like a professional football player, and

421
00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:10,600
Speaker 1: it's almost as if the great story is very much

422
00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:13,400
Speaker 1: in the rear view mirror. Last year, it was more

423
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:16,040
Speaker 1: of a story than what it is right now because

424
00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 1: of what Amy said, how he's performing well, then that's

425
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:20,640
Speaker 1: so well put because at the end of the day,

426
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:23,480
Speaker 1: all the stories are nice, but the stories are only

427
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:26,920
Speaker 1: nice if he's helping you win games on Sunday, on

428
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:30,560
Speaker 1: Monday or on Thursday, because that is all that matters

429
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:33,080
Speaker 1: and what we're doing right now. Best news of the day,

430
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:35,760
Speaker 1: money Rice came back to practice today. When he was

431
00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:38,760
Speaker 1: carted off yesterday with the lower leg injury, we were

432
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 1: scared that it was something going to keep him out

433
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:43,159
Speaker 1: for a long time, and he was right back on

434
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:48,280
Speaker 1: the horse today, which gives him a chance to continue

435
00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:51,080
Speaker 1: the progress he's made. Coachmac, that was a plus. That

436
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:53,439
Speaker 1: was a huge plus. You know, we I talked to

437
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:55,960
Speaker 1: Jim Haslett, you know, in the lobby last night before

438
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:57,960
Speaker 1: we all went to dinner, just about you know, kind

439
00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:00,959
Speaker 1: of his young his young linebackers, and he was really

440
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:05,800
Speaker 1: wanting and hoping that this wasn't what happened. Wasn't going

441
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:08,840
Speaker 1: to keep young Monty Rice out of the second day

442
00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:11,320
Speaker 1: of practice, And clearly it didn't. I was really happy

443
00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:14,320
Speaker 1: to see him out there. Farm Bureau Health Plans they've

444
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:17,960
Speaker 1: been protecting Tennessee and since nineteen forty seven they offer

445
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:20,640
Speaker 1: a great healthcare coverage you need with a price tag

446
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:25,040
Speaker 1: you can afford. And they present this podcast. Any further

447
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:28,359
Speaker 1: thoughts on day two in Tampa, Amy Wells, anything stand

448
00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:30,400
Speaker 1: out to you. I hate to say that I thought

449
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:33,439
Speaker 1: it was a practice because the head coach said the

450
00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:36,240
Speaker 1: exact opposite thing. Now he went further. I mean, I

451
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:39,160
Speaker 1: thought Tampa was better today, but I didn't. I guess

452
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:42,879
Speaker 1: I didn't realize because we couldn't see everything. And that's

453
00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:47,840
Speaker 1: the thing that these joint practices for me, are very

454
00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:51,920
Speaker 1: much a sensory overload. Experience. There is so much happening

455
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:56,040
Speaker 1: simultaneously that I really have to commit to I am

456
00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:59,280
Speaker 1: looking at this, this and this and nothing else, because

457
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:02,720
Speaker 1: otherwise I'll look at everything and see nothing that you

458
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:04,399
Speaker 1: know what that means. It means you're a veteran at

459
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:06,480
Speaker 1: doing this, because that's exactly what you have to do,

460
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:09,760
Speaker 1: coach Man. But you are. I mean, you can't and

461
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:12,200
Speaker 1: you put it very well. If you're trying to watch everything,

462
00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:16,400
Speaker 1: you will see nothing. And so and Mike Keith made

463
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:20,960
Speaker 1: the decision that we the three of us and anybody

464
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:22,560
Speaker 1: else that wanted to standing with us, which we don't

465
00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:27,840
Speaker 1: like people standing with us. That's not true. We were

466
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:30,280
Speaker 1: going to watch defense day one. We were going to

467
00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:32,639
Speaker 1: watch our offense day two. That's the only way that

468
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:34,919
Speaker 1: you can approach these things and get any type of

469
00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:39,399
Speaker 1: evaluation or something fun to or something concrete to talk about,

470
00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:42,159
Speaker 1: is watch it like that. Because what you said is

471
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:45,080
Speaker 1: one hundred percent true. And I will say this. You

472
00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:47,040
Speaker 1: were watching and concentrating on that, but you were a

473
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:49,119
Speaker 1: little scared of where the alligator was. I saw you

474
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:52,040
Speaker 1: check the alligator gate a couple of times. I hate

475
00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:54,119
Speaker 1: to take up time talking about this, but it was

476
00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:56,880
Speaker 1: something that genuinely was on my mind for longer than

477
00:25:56,920 --> 00:26:00,639
Speaker 1: it should have been, because there were confirmed all gators

478
00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:03,840
Speaker 1: on the property. I know they stuck to their little

479
00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:07,000
Speaker 1: pond area, but they still exist. And there was a

480
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:10,200
Speaker 1: gate surrounding the pond, which great. I don't think alligators

481
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:13,480
Speaker 1: can climb. Be nice. They could open the gate. Gate

482
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:16,199
Speaker 1: was opened. They didn't even have to gates open the

483
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:18,720
Speaker 1: whole time. Well, its Florida, So if there's some sort

484
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:20,840
Speaker 1: of alligator stampede, I don't know if you can get

485
00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:22,640
Speaker 1: rushed by a gator. I don't know if you can.

486
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:25,400
Speaker 1: I'm in trouble. You're supposed to run in a zig

487
00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:28,440
Speaker 1: zag pattern away from them. That's all I know. I

488
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:30,400
Speaker 1: don't know anything. I don't know. You had to bring

489
00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:33,800
Speaker 1: it up. I don't know how to protect my stern

490
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:35,639
Speaker 1: it up. I couldn't. I couldn't stand it because I

491
00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:37,280
Speaker 1: washed your looking back. I said, what are you looking for?

492
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:40,080
Speaker 1: You said that gator gates open? I said it might

493
00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:42,840
Speaker 1: come in here. There were two of them, so there's

494
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:44,800
Speaker 1: one that could be a distraction. The other one could

495
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:47,439
Speaker 1: have got you from behind. If they're working as a team,

496
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:49,960
Speaker 1: I don't think they work as a team. I don't

497
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:53,920
Speaker 1: know what alligators do. I'm from Missouri. We don't deal

498
00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:56,800
Speaker 1: with these problems there. It could have been like two Gators,

499
00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:59,680
Speaker 1: double press and a gunner. What it looked like when

500
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:03,840
Speaker 1: they through Fred Brown? And you know what, Fred Brown

501
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:06,600
Speaker 1: had a good day. He did. I mean, here's the thing,

502
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:09,560
Speaker 1: and verybel even complimented him. I mean, here's Fred Brown,

503
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:14,560
Speaker 1: a veteran wide receiver out of Mississippi State. Uh, not

504
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:16,520
Speaker 1: a young receiver. I mean he's been in the league

505
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:18,639
Speaker 1: for a while, been with the Broncos fighting as a

506
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:21,919
Speaker 1: special teams player. He can make the roster and you

507
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:24,560
Speaker 1: know he's he's kind of got a little moxie as

508
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:27,320
Speaker 1: a wide out wearing number eighty two. He had a

509
00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:29,120
Speaker 1: good day to day. It was almost as if they

510
00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:33,719
Speaker 1: made him mad. Yes and did. Then they were jawing

511
00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:36,200
Speaker 1: at him when he was on the field with the offense.

512
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:40,239
Speaker 1: The Tampa players were all over him. But you know,

513
00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:42,920
Speaker 1: he may be fun to watch him Saturday night because

514
00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:46,520
Speaker 1: he may come with a little extra juice. I have

515
00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:48,600
Speaker 1: a feeling the Titans will show up with some juice

516
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:51,840
Speaker 1: after how their head coach went after him today. I

517
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:54,400
Speaker 1: have a feeling you're right, it's gonna be a fun

518
00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:57,680
Speaker 1: game on Saturday. It will be fun. Remember six thirty
