1
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:09,920
Speaker 1: I'm Taylor's arzer and this is the OTP. Yes, our guy,

2
00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:13,399
Speaker 1: Will Bowling, a Pinnacle sideline reporter for the road. Will Bowling,

3
00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:16,920
Speaker 1: He he is. He was a little busy today. He

4
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:18,720
Speaker 1: will he will be with us in Indianapolis.

5
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:21,720
Speaker 2: Don't you worry, Oh, I never worry. I know will

6
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:22,880
Speaker 2: show up every time.

7
00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:26,360
Speaker 1: Pinnacle sideline reporter for home games is Amy Wells.

8
00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:26,840
Speaker 3: Yes.

9
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:31,080
Speaker 1: And Amy was upset with me earlier this year when

10
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:34,840
Speaker 1: I talked about the air conditioned booth that coach Mack

11
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:37,279
Speaker 1: and Rhett and I were in and now hot it

12
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:40,000
Speaker 1: was on the field at Nissan Stadium.

13
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 2: It's not that hot, he said, He said, it's not

14
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:46,280
Speaker 2: that hot. It's a pretty nice day. It was three thousands.

15
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:48,560
Speaker 2: It was the hottest of days.

16
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:52,240
Speaker 1: Well, I bring it up because it was very very

17
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:53,240
Speaker 1: different conditions.

18
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:57,520
Speaker 2: It was long on Sunday, lovely, well from a temperature standpoint,

19
00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 2: it was lovely. From a wind speed perspective, it was

20
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 2: a little tricky. The wind was a major factor in

21
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 2: the game. And you know, we knew that it was

22
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 2: going to be a windy day. We knew there was

23
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:13,480
Speaker 2: some weather that had moved through the night before, and

24
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:15,479
Speaker 2: so there was gonna be some lingering effects of that.

25
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 2: Even knew that there were going to be high ish

26
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,840
Speaker 2: when gusts, I think thirty thirty five ish is kind

27
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:25,479
Speaker 2: of what some of those gusts were miles per hour

28
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 2: that is. I mean, it wasn't like horrible, but it

29
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 2: really made an impact on the football field. There were

30
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 2: things flying, there was stuff moving around. I felt so

31
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:41,839
Speaker 2: bad for our guys, Joey Slyan, Johnny Hecker.

32
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 3: Their nets that they practice.

33
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 2: Kicking into on the sidelines kept blowing askew, and I

34
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 2: felt bad because they get all lined up and you know,

35
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 2: kickers and punters, they are very precise things that they

36
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 2: go through, and they get all lined up and all situated,

37
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 2: and then they'd go to kick it and the net

38
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 2: would just go.

39
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 3: I was like, oh, guys, I'm so sorry.

40
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 2: I didn't volunteer to stand on it because I didn't

41
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 2: want to get whapped just in case.

42
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 3: But I did feel for them, yes, yeah, frustrated.

43
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:15,959
Speaker 1: It was a one club wind, as we like to

44
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 1: say in golf, maybe a two club wind, where if

45
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:21,519
Speaker 1: you were into the wind you would need more club,

46
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 1: if you were downwind you would need less club. And

47
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 1: the team that went downwind really had a huge advantage

48
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 1: in the game, moving from left to right as you

49
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:36,080
Speaker 1: listened on your radio dial. That was something that was

50
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 1: the thing's for sure during the game. And yeah, there

51
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 1: was one kick that Joey Slye had that started at

52
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 1: the really at the right hash and went out of

53
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 1: bounce like it blew the wind blew it so far

54
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 1: that it went from the right hash to all the

55
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 1: way out of bounds, which was kind of crazy. But yeah,

56
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:53,240
Speaker 1: that was a big part of the game. If you

57
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 1: watched the Texas A and m Arkansas game on Saturday,

58
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 1: you know that that game was delayed by two hours

59
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 1: because of haile in high winds. And I thought, oh gosh,

60
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 1: that's coming to Nashville. We didn't get it nearly as

61
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:10,079
Speaker 1: severely as the great people in Arkansas did.

62
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, or the people in Cleveland.

63
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 1: The Browns blew out the dolphins with higher winds up

64
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 1: there on the water in Ohio.

65
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 2: But the wind up there is crazy Cleveland specifically because

66
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 2: it comes off that lake and it gets in the

67
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:27,360
Speaker 2: bowl and it just goes in a circle.

68
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, and we're going there on December the seventh, which

69
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 1: is a lovely time of year.

70
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 2: Well, and I was talking to Will Bowling about that

71
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 2: because so far as a sideline reporter for the Tennessee Titans,

72
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 2: he has been predominantly indoors. But the weather has been

73
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 2: lovely everywhere else. It's been hot, not too bad. A

74
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 2: little bit of rain to start the season, right or

75
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 2: was that in the preseason where it was.

76
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 1: Com of, we know we did we had a couple

77
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 1: of minute weather delay again in Denver.

78
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, so a little bit of rain, but overall it

79
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 2: hasn't been terrible for him. And he was like, well,

80
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 2: you know, I mean we are going to Cleveland and

81
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 2: that might be chilly. And I was like, hmm, might

82
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 2: be chilly. It's not the air temperature. It is the

83
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 2: wind in Cleveland because it whips through there and it

84
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 2: goes in a circle. And Taylor will come down and say, Hey,

85
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:17,040
Speaker 2: which way is the wind going And the answer is.

86
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:21,159
Speaker 3: Every every way. And it's cold.

87
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:24,360
Speaker 2: Because it blows right across the lake, freezes and then

88
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 2: hits you in the face.

89
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:28,719
Speaker 4: Did you have the clothes for this?

90
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 5: You didn't?

91
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:31,279
Speaker 4: Okay? God bless so.

92
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 2: Retbrian is our weather aficionado, but he also does a

93
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:42,279
Speaker 2: really good job of breaking that down into amy.

94
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:43,560
Speaker 3: Here's what you need to wear.

95
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 2: And I really appreciate that about him, and I think

96
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:51,160
Speaker 2: it's because over the years I've shown up inappropriately dressed

97
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 2: for the weather conditions so many times that he's like, listen,

98
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 2: more on, this is what.

99
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:57,920
Speaker 3: You need to put on.

100
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 2: And so he said, a light jacket and some layers,

101
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:03,720
Speaker 2: and so that's what I did, and I felt great.

102
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 1: It was a great start to the game. It was

103
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 1: great to be home as well. It had been a

104
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 1: long time, three weeks on the road. It's nice to

105
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:16,040
Speaker 1: be home. Obviously, after the Colts game, the Titans will

106
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 1: be home throughout the month of November, which is rather unique.

107
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:21,599
Speaker 1: Ret was telling me it's been a decade since we've

108
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:25,839
Speaker 1: had a situation like that, and it did. It started

109
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:28,559
Speaker 1: really well for the Titans, where you kick a field

110
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 1: goal in the first drive. The Titans scored a touchdown

111
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:34,480
Speaker 1: after that and had a ten to three lead on

112
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 1: New England. Had the lead late in the second quarter

113
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,040
Speaker 1: as well. So let's just stop right there with all

114
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 1: the good parts that was, you know, with interim coach

115
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:49,360
Speaker 1: Mike McCoy and Bo Hart agree calling the plays and

116
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:52,359
Speaker 1: Nick Colts is the offensive coordinator, they really wanted to

117
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:55,039
Speaker 1: get cam Ward into a rhythm, and they did it.

118
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:57,480
Speaker 2: They did a great job, and they did a great

119
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:02,280
Speaker 2: job of establishing what they wanted to do early and

120
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 2: really making a splash right away, which the Titans hadn't

121
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 2: been able to do yet this season. Come out, get

122
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 2: off to a fast start, move the ball down the field,

123
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:13,360
Speaker 2: score some points.

124
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 3: They did that.

125
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 2: They wanted to simplify things and really highlight what cam

126
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:22,039
Speaker 2: Ward does well and really highlight what this offense is

127
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:23,919
Speaker 2: able to do well. And I think they did that

128
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 2: as well. So there's progress in that the first quarter,

129
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:34,120
Speaker 2: quarter and a half really shown the signs of what

130
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 2: we're trying to see in this offense.

131
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:41,839
Speaker 3: And so for that, I think we should be optimistic.

132
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:43,480
Speaker 3: I think we should feel excited about that.

133
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:47,479
Speaker 2: The frustrating part is that it didn't continue for the

134
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 2: rest of the game. And that is now the place

135
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:53,720
Speaker 2: to start and it's okay, we know we can do this.

136
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 2: We have an idea of what works for this team.

137
00:06:56,760 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 2: It's continuing to do that throughout all four quarters. When

138
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:03,840
Speaker 2: you bring Helman's creamy buffalo chicken dip to the watch party,

139
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 2: you can cheer too loud, or block the TV or

140
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 2: be a couch coach and no one will eject you

141
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 2: from the game. That's a hail Mayo Helman, the official

00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 4: the rest of the world, though injuries matter.

161
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 1: I think that it's it's fair and it's objective and

162
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 1: it's necessary to mention that the Tennessee Titans have a

163
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 1: significant amount of injuries that have factored into the way

164
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 1: that the team is playing.

165
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:30,680
Speaker 3: It's not an excuse, it's context.

166
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 1: It's it is context. I mean, Calvin Ridley, who by

167
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:39,560
Speaker 1: everybody's measure, would be the top target the Tennessee Titans

168
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:42,960
Speaker 1: had going into the season, has been banged up this

169
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 1: year and he's been on a He was unable to

170
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:46,679
Speaker 1: play in the last couple of games.

171
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 4: That's a big deal.

172
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:53,559
Speaker 1: On top of that, on defense, when you lose Jeffrey Simmons,

173
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:59,200
Speaker 1: who very well could be the NFL Defensive Player of

174
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:02,400
Speaker 1: the Year at this point, leaves the game in the

175
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:07,720
Speaker 1: first quarter, that he's a significant blow. Arden Key was

176
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 1: starting to affect the quarterback had a couple of sacks

177
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 1: Amy before he was injured a couple of weeks ago.

178
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:16,079
Speaker 1: He's not out there on the field right now. Again,

179
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 1: those are significant injuries to the Tennessee Titans, and especially

180
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 1: the Simmons injury I think played a big role in

181
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:26,280
Speaker 1: the way the Patriots were able to be effective on offense.

182
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:33,680
Speaker 1: Look Drake Mayson, outstanding quarterback. I wish him well, especially

183
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 1: given my background in Charlotte and where he's from in Charlotte,

184
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 1: I wish he didn't have success against the Titans, but

185
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:41,960
Speaker 1: he can have success against other teams. He had a

186
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:44,080
Speaker 1: heck of a day, But I think part of the

187
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:45,840
Speaker 1: reason why he had a heck of a day is

188
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 1: because he was able to escape the pocket and use

189
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 1: his legs and he ran right where number ninety eight

190
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:51,960
Speaker 1: would have been.

191
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 4: Yeah.

192
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 2: And Jeffrey Simmons, of course, everything he does on the field,

193
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 2: he makes such an impact in the defensive effort overall.

194
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 2: I mean, the guy everywhere, he's in people's face. He's

195
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 2: playing out of his mind right now. So there's all

196
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 2: of that. There's the on the field stuff. There's also

197
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 2: the leadership part of Jeffrey Simmons. And when your leader

198
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:12,320
Speaker 2: goes down, the guy who's the heart and soul not

199
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 2: only of the defense, but kind of of this team.

200
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 2: Right now, he has been galvanizing this entire group, and

201
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 2: when he goes down, the whole team feels that void.

202
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:24,720
Speaker 2: And it's not that there aren't other leaders who are

203
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:26,680
Speaker 2: able to step up. Please don't think I'm saying that,

204
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 2: because that's not at all true. But what I am

205
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:31,559
Speaker 2: saying is that when a big leader goes down, you

206
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 2: feel that void. When Jeffrey Simmons was in the tent

207
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:38,320
Speaker 2: and he kind of went in and then came out

208
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:40,360
Speaker 2: and tried a couple things, and then went back in

209
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 2: and the team doctors were working on him a little

210
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:45,079
Speaker 2: bit more, and then he came back out, was trying

211
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 2: different things. There were probably three different players who like

212
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 2: went in to see if he was okay, see what

213
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:52,719
Speaker 2: was going on, come talk to him.

214
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 3: He don't see that all the time.

215
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 2: A lot of guys go in there and it's just

216
00:10:56,320 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 2: them dealing with whatever it is. That to me, tells

217
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 2: you a lot about what Jeffrey Simmons means to this team.

218
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:06,840
Speaker 2: And so the fact that his players were looking not

219
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 2: his players, but his teammates were looking for him. Other

220
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:13,160
Speaker 2: players were looking for him. And then after the half

221
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 2: he came back out in street clothes but was still

222
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 2: on the sidelines, was still interacting with people, was talking

223
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 2: to guys, was still a part of it. But I

224
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:24,440
Speaker 2: mean so frustrating for him a game that you know,

225
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:26,960
Speaker 2: he wanted to play in, you know, he wanted to

226
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,240
Speaker 2: have a part in that it meant something to him,

227
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 2: and to just not be able to be on the

228
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:38,720
Speaker 2: field contributing in the way that he wants to, I

229
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 2: know is frustrating for him, and I think it was

230
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 2: a little deflating for the team as a whole.

231
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:46,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a big bummer not to have ninety eight

232
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:49,600
Speaker 1: out there on the field and get better, Big Jeff,

233
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:52,840
Speaker 1: we need you out there. Certainly pulling for him. He

234
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:56,200
Speaker 1: has had an incredible start to the season. Coming up,

235
00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 1: Titan's interim head coach Mike McCoy joins us. But first,

236
00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 1: the pinnacle moment of the game. That was a fun

237
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 1: one to relive. Amy one of the most exciting moments

238
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:10,480
Speaker 1: that we've had at Nissan Stadium so far this season.

239
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:14,960
Speaker 4: Jim Decay has just been amazing, I mean in every way.

240
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 1: Fourth round draft pick, he went from Wisconsin to the

241
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:22,080
Speaker 1: Florida Gators. Last year, he goes from the Florida Gators

242
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:25,080
Speaker 1: to the fourth round, and you know you're wondering, what

243
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:27,880
Speaker 1: are you gonna get from a fourth round pick. You're

244
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:30,719
Speaker 1: gonna get the best return specialists. So far in the

245
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:36,080
Speaker 1: National Football League. He's been just extraordinary in special teams

246
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 1: and now he's turning into a first team wide receiver

247
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:40,400
Speaker 1: for the Titans.

248
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 2: Yep, he's the guy who is the quintessential, Like, Eh,

249
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:46,200
Speaker 2: maybe we'll get a good special teams player that would

250
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:47,960
Speaker 2: be that would fill a hole, that would be a

251
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:48,559
Speaker 2: great need.

252
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:49,559
Speaker 3: That would be awesome.

253
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 2: If our fourth round draft pick turns out to be

254
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 2: a contributor on special teams, great. Uh, Okay, he's phenomenal

255
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 2: on special teams. What an amazing returner he is. Okay,

256
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 2: let's give him some more responsibility. Okay, let's see what

257
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 2: else he can do. He is the perfect example of

258
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 2: a guy who is just kept earning it and earning

259
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:11,200
Speaker 2: it and answering when his number is called every single time.

260
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 2: And so now to see him get more reps as

261
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:17,760
Speaker 2: a part of the offense, get more experience, get some targets,

262
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:22,560
Speaker 2: get a touchdown, and every time he just keeps showing up.

263
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:25,920
Speaker 2: I mean, that's that's a success when it comes to

264
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:28,320
Speaker 2: drafting a guy. Yeah, and so the fact that he

265
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 2: is a rookie and that he is forming the kind

266
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:36,000
Speaker 2: of chemistry that he has with Kim Ward is great.

267
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 2: Cam was like, Yeah, guy's just kind of always there.

268
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:40,320
Speaker 2: When I need him to be there, he's there. And

269
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:44,920
Speaker 2: that's exactly what you want in a receiver. Same thing

270
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:46,559
Speaker 2: with Elic i Omanor he.

271
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:47,360
Speaker 3: Is just there.

272
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, and he's reliable and he's consistent, and.

273
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:51,720
Speaker 3: He's a rookie.

274
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:56,319
Speaker 2: So there is so much upside and that just brings

275
00:13:56,360 --> 00:14:00,360
Speaker 2: me so much joy because for years Titan fans have

276
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:06,600
Speaker 2: been waiting for dynamic, consistent wide receivers and it looks

277
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:09,480
Speaker 2: like we have two and their rookies.

278
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 3: Yes, Oh what a dream.

279
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 1: And you have Gunner Helm as a rookie too as

280
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:15,960
Speaker 1: a tight end. So you got three options as rookies

281
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:18,920
Speaker 1: that are catching the ball from rookie cam Ward. So

282
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:22,720
Speaker 1: the future is bright, certainly for the Titans. Speaking of rookies,

283
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 1: it was great to see Kevin Winston play some defense

284
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 1: for the first time in the National Football League. Third

285
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 1: round draft pick who injured his knee at Penn State

286
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:34,880
Speaker 1: last year and it has really worked hard to get

287
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 1: back onto the field. It was great to see him.

288
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:38,840
Speaker 1: He's played some special teams the last couple of weeks,

289
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 1: but he was out there on defense. Great to see

290
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 1: big number ninety three to Von Dre sweat to sweat

291
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:47,880
Speaker 1: back out on the field and with a sack in

292
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:48,280
Speaker 1: the game.

293
00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:49,200
Speaker 4: He was back.

294
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:54,240
Speaker 1: Against the Patriots, sacking Drake may So that was great.

295
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:57,480
Speaker 1: And Joey sli after a calf injury that he sustained

296
00:14:57,520 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 1: before he made the game winning kick in Eras he

297
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:04,680
Speaker 1: was back kicking fifty yarders into that wind doing it.

298
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:07,520
Speaker 1: So look, I know that Titans fans want a better

299
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:11,440
Speaker 1: result on Sunday, we all do. But I really appreciate

300
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 1: the culture and the fight of this football team, and

301
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 1: I do believe there are going to be great moments

302
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:17,360
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty five because of it.

303
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:19,840
Speaker 3: I agree. I totally agree.

304
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 2: A person who I would like to mention who didn't

305
00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:29,160
Speaker 2: get mentioned with Cedric Gray because his level of frustration

306
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:33,440
Speaker 2: by it was some play. I mean, I don't even

307
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:37,000
Speaker 2: remember when it was, but the defense was coming off

308
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 2: the field.

309
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:38,440
Speaker 3: It was late in the game.

310
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:43,160
Speaker 2: Defense is coming off the field, and he was so frustrated.

311
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:46,680
Speaker 2: There was a moment that he just it was all

312
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:49,560
Speaker 2: the emotions he was feeling just came out, and I thought,

313
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:53,880
Speaker 2: this guy cares, like this guy's passionate about this, this

314
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 2: guy wants to make an impact.

315
00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:57,280
Speaker 3: Like those are things you.

316
00:15:57,160 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 2: Don't usually see that from rookie players, especially at this

317
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 2: point in the season. It's still fresh enough, it's still

318
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:07,680
Speaker 2: new enough, you're still kind of trying to figure things out.

319
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:10,520
Speaker 2: This guy's ready to rock and roll. And I mean

320
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:12,960
Speaker 2: he's what a second year player, that's great.

321
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:15,560
Speaker 1: As a tar heel Dad, Yeah, I am real proud

322
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:18,720
Speaker 1: of Cedric Gray, second year player of the University of

323
00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:21,880
Speaker 1: North Carolina and watching him in college, Jamie, this is

324
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 1: the way he cared and the way he played and

325
00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:26,920
Speaker 1: the effort he played with fifty tackles. Yeah, in the

326
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 1: last four games. And he said something after the game

327
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:31,320
Speaker 1: that I really appreciate it. He said, it's not our

328
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:33,840
Speaker 1: turn right now, he said, but we're gonna fight like

329
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:37,240
Speaker 1: crazy out there. We're going to go through this stuff

330
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:40,640
Speaker 1: right now, and it's going to make it even sweeter

331
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:42,360
Speaker 1: when it is our turn.

332
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:43,080
Speaker 3: He's right.

333
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 4: I love that.

334
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's he's right. He's got the right perspective.

335
00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:50,200
Speaker 2: He's got the right understanding of what this is and

336
00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 2: what it takes. Playing the National Football League is really hard.

337
00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:59,360
Speaker 2: Like that's the reality. Winning games is really hard. And

338
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:02,400
Speaker 2: for him to have that perspective and understanding that this

339
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:05,320
Speaker 2: is really hard, we have to keep going, we have

340
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:08,359
Speaker 2: to keep pushing through the hard, but then it gets

341
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 2: really good.

342
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:12,400
Speaker 3: That's like, that's the right place. That's where you want

343
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:13,400
Speaker 3: guys to be right now.

Speaker 3: I hope I'm going.

359
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:55,640
Speaker 1: I don't know how you distinguish yourself because everybody wears

360
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:57,440
Speaker 1: the same colors with Miszoo and Vandy.

361
00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:00,479
Speaker 2: But okay, Vandy's more of like a like a gold,

362
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:03,720
Speaker 2: like like a like a metallic gold.

363
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:05,520
Speaker 3: Our gold is more of like a yellow goo.

364
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:06,160
Speaker 4: That's true.

365
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, that mine says. Tiger's real big across the fight

366
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:11,040
Speaker 2: in front of it, like.

367
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:12,040
Speaker 4: Where tiger colors.

368
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:17,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, we spell at each other most most schools. Yeah, yeah, exactly,

369
00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:21,160
Speaker 2: but no, really, it's been really fun to watch Vanderbilt.

370
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:23,320
Speaker 2: It's been really fun to cheer for them this season,

371
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:27,480
Speaker 2: and I'm in, you can't beat what they've been able

372
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:29,359
Speaker 2: to pull off. This at the end of last season

373
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:32,080
Speaker 2: and all through this season, it's been incredible to watch.

374
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:33,400
Speaker 3: But not this week.

375
00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:36,080

00:19:58,920 --> 00:19:59,400
Speaker 5: for having.

404
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:00,760
Speaker 4: Me, Thank you, good to have you.

405
00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:04,400
Speaker 1: I know that you were awfully pleased with how your

406
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 1: team started the game on Sunday against New England Patriots.

407
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:10,479
Speaker 5: Yeah. That's the way we'd love to play for four quarters.

408
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:11,760
Speaker 5: And that's the big challenge.

409
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:11,919
Speaker 2: Now.

410
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:14,120
Speaker 5: As you saw how we came out, we started fast,

411
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:17,400
Speaker 5: did some great things as a football team, played companenty

412
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:20,399
Speaker 5: football in all three phases, and we got to continue

413
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:22,879
Speaker 5: to do that and play it play more consistently in

414
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:23,639
Speaker 5: the second half.

415
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:26,439
Speaker 1: I think a lot of us that aren't on the

416
00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:29,720
Speaker 1: field that aren't coaching or playing. We see an injury

417
00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:32,399
Speaker 1: and we think, gosh, what kind of impact that has.

418
00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:35,240
Speaker 1: You can't really ever go there, can you. You just

419
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:37,280
Speaker 1: have to coach the next play with the next player.

420
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:41,240
Speaker 5: It's going to be the next play, next man up mentality,

421
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:43,840
Speaker 5: And it might be when you say next man up,

422
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:46,080
Speaker 5: it might be by committee. There might be certain guys

423
00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:49,280
Speaker 5: you got to rotate more. You lose certain players, it's

424
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:51,119
Speaker 5: tough to replace them, but you got someone's got to

425
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 5: step up and do their job. We all have jobs

426
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:55,080
Speaker 5: to do, so we got to do as a coaches,

427
00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:58,240
Speaker 5: whether you adjust what you're play calling, scheme, you're running,

428
00:20:58,280 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 5: whatever it is, you got to adjust to what the

429
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:00,800
Speaker 5: players do best.

430
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:03,520
Speaker 1: And it certainly seems like the attitude of the team

431
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:06,040
Speaker 1: is right. It's the kind of attitude you'd want to

432
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:06,720
Speaker 1: compete with.

433
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:09,960
Speaker 5: No doubt, they've worked extremely hard. The last week's preparation

434
00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:15,080
Speaker 5: was outstanding. You know, the attitude, the approach, you saw

435
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:17,960
Speaker 5: the way we were game day. We just got to

436
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:20,200
Speaker 5: clean up you know some things. You know, we let

437
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:21,880
Speaker 5: that game get away with us the end of the half,

438
00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:24,760
Speaker 5: the beginning of the second half, and unfortunately it was

439
00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:26,880
Speaker 5: a really close game. They pulled away a little bit,

440
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:29,800
Speaker 5: and we've just got to execute better in those situations.

441
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:35,160
Speaker 5: And you know, and play four quarters of good football.

442
00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:36,320
Speaker 1: In your twenty plus years of experience in the National

443
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:38,600
Speaker 1: Footballleague as a head coach, as a coordinator, as a

444
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:42,040
Speaker 1: position coach. Is this team as young as we think

445
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:44,560
Speaker 1: it is, which it can be a great thing obviously

446
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:47,200
Speaker 1: for the future. But as you're watching this team compete,

447
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:50,480
Speaker 1: you're you're relying on a lot of young guys out there.

448
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:52,159
Speaker 5: At seems well, you know, the great thing about our

449
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:54,600
Speaker 5: young players that we drafted is that they love the

450
00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:57,760
Speaker 5: game of football. And you know, everyone wanted to talk

451
00:21:57,800 --> 00:21:59,680
Speaker 5: about Cam and the off season program and how we

452
00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:02,720
Speaker 5: use the facility all the time, and how he's here early,

453
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:05,480
Speaker 5: he stayed late. Well, the other rookies were with them,

454
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:09,400
Speaker 5: and some other players have gravitated into those meetings after practice.

455
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:11,440
Speaker 5: You know, we finished at four forty five whatever it is.

456
00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:14,080
Speaker 5: You go by, you walk by the receiver room and

457
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:16,320
Speaker 5: there's a bunch of guys sitting in there, and but

458
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:18,399
Speaker 5: that's the way this rookie class has been since the

459
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:20,880
Speaker 5: day they got here. They love the game, they want

460
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:23,440
Speaker 5: to do everything they can. I think, you know, give

461
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:25,480
Speaker 5: our personnel department a lot of credit for the type

462
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:27,320
Speaker 5: of players. You know, you're trying to build a culture

463
00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:30,760
Speaker 5: here when you bring new people in, and so I'm

464
00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:33,159
Speaker 5: very pleased with the way they've developed. And you know,

465
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:35,639
Speaker 5: you talk about the growth of the team from a

466
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:38,440
Speaker 5: week to week basis how they're doing, you know, because

467
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:42,040
Speaker 5: they're all rookies, you know, and there's a learning curve

468
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:44,359
Speaker 5: they go through some quicker than others, and it's just

469
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:47,280
Speaker 5: a matter of you know, getting the confidence. And you

470
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:50,159
Speaker 5: saw some players and it's week to week too, you

471
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:53,359
Speaker 5: see different players because the game plan is always different

472
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:55,560
Speaker 5: or what the defense does. They take certain things away.

473
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:58,480
Speaker 5: But you saw Gims touchdown things like It's just great

474
00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:00,679
Speaker 5: to see. But that goes back to his college days.

475
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:03,320
Speaker 5: When you see him in college, you ran that route,

476
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:07,800
Speaker 5: that same route weekend and week out. So it's been

477
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:09,520
Speaker 5: on the call sheet and we dialed it up this week.

478
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:10,719
Speaker 5: So it was great to see him do that.

479
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:13,479
Speaker 1: Did it at Wisconsin and at the University of Florida,

480
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:15,480
Speaker 1: and now after being a fourth round draft pick in

481
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:18,840
Speaker 1: the NFL, he's doing it for the Tennessee Titans. Before

482
00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:22,840
Speaker 1: this last week. You and I really had one significant

483
00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:26,320
Speaker 1: interaction and it was on a practice field in Tampa Bay, Florida.

484
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:30,400
Speaker 1: We were standing with John Gruden who was watching practice

485
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:32,840
Speaker 1: with us, and we were watching with the man that

486
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:36,080
Speaker 1: he was calling, Johnny Cash, Dave McGinnis, coach Mack who's

487
00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:40,200
Speaker 1: always dressed in black, and John Gruden asked you about

488
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:42,560
Speaker 1: He said, hey, coach Wos is seventeen over here. I

489
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:45,199
Speaker 1: like the seventeen. You know, you know how he always is.

490
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:48,239
Speaker 1: And you immediately said, this guy's going to make an

491
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:50,480
Speaker 1: impact for us. This was back in early August when

492
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:52,920
Speaker 1: you were saying this, and you said, in special teams,

493
00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:55,840
Speaker 1: he's a hard worker, he has the right attitude. I mean,

494
00:23:56,119 --> 00:24:01,080
Speaker 1: Jim Deka came to play professional football an immediately got better.

495
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:02,600
Speaker 4: And now you can count on him on the field.

496
00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:05,159
Speaker 5: You know, it goes back to his want to like although,

497
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:08,040
Speaker 5: like I mentioned all those guys earlier, but Jim wants

498
00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:10,679
Speaker 5: to go out there and he's been this way and

499
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:14,520
Speaker 5: you can see, you know a lot of times when

500
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:17,000
Speaker 5: they first start they play a little slow, and you

501
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:19,560
Speaker 5: can see when they start to learn the system and

502
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:22,600
Speaker 5: they develop a better understanding of what they want to do.

503
00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:24,760
Speaker 5: You know, the position flexibility. You always want to tell

504
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:27,480
Speaker 5: receivers and skilled guys learn the concepts of the plays

505
00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:29,560
Speaker 5: and not just one spot. Now, some guys, you know,

506
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:31,720
Speaker 5: they stay in one spot more often than not. But

507
00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:34,159
Speaker 5: when you understand the whole scheme of things and you

508
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:38,760
Speaker 5: can play fast. You instantly saw, you know, the speed

509
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:41,600
Speaker 5: and the temple at what he was playing was changing,

510
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:43,920
Speaker 5: you know, from week to week. And that's the way

511
00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:47,240
Speaker 5: he's played. You know, in the return game he's been outstanding.

512
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:49,960
Speaker 5: And then it's just you know, receivers are tough because

513
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:52,280
Speaker 5: it's you know, he's not the only guy. You know,

514
00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:54,639
Speaker 5: the return game, he's the guy kept getting it. But

515
00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:57,760
Speaker 5: in the passing game on offense, there's week to week

516
00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:01,160
Speaker 5: things change. But he's definitely the most of every opportunity

517
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:01,640
Speaker 5: he's got.

518
00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:06,879
Speaker 1: Elcio Manner has multiple catches in all seven games that

519
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:08,720
Speaker 1: he's played in in the National Football League.

520
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:09,640
Speaker 4: How about that?

521
00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:13,320
Speaker 5: It's outstanding. Another guy who out loves the game of football.

522
00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:17,280
Speaker 5: All his hard work has paid off, you know. And

523
00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:19,919
Speaker 5: I'll say that one thing about these receivers too, in

524
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:23,080
Speaker 5: our running backs is the way they block, you know,

525
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:26,840
Speaker 5: running backs obvious and protection TP is probably the best

526
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:29,360
Speaker 5: chipper on the edge in the league the way he blocks,

527
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:34,639
Speaker 5: and Tajh stepped up did a great job. Taja excuse me,

528
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:39,320
Speaker 5: and they just it's it's outstanding a watch. You love

529
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:43,000
Speaker 5: seeing that. But the receivers outside coming down and blocking linebackers,

530
00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:45,720
Speaker 5: things like that, it's been it's been outstanding.

531
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:48,639
Speaker 1: You have cam Ward at quarterback getting off to a

532
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:52,200
Speaker 1: hot start in this game with those young receivers, had

533
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:55,320
Speaker 1: all five of his starting offensive line that he was

534
00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:58,200
Speaker 1: expected to have going into the season in front of him.

535
00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:02,160
Speaker 1: You mentioned Spears and Hollered. The more and more reps

536
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:05,840
Speaker 1: all of these guys get together, you would think it's

537
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:07,119
Speaker 1: going to yield a good result.

538
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:10,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's eleven guys doing their job together. It doesn't

539
00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:14,840
Speaker 5: matter what phase it is. It's eleven guys doing their

540
00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:17,840
Speaker 5: job together, and great things will happen. But if you

541
00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:20,840
Speaker 5: have one breakdown, you never know where it's gonna be.

542
00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:22,760
Speaker 5: It could be a protection up front, it could be

543
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:25,560
Speaker 5: a route, it could be a route depth or route technique,

544
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:28,240
Speaker 5: anything on defense. There's a number of things that can

545
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:30,320
Speaker 5: come up. So it's just a matter of you know,

546
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:33,119
Speaker 5: minimize it. I mean, listen, we're all gonna make some mistakes.

547
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:36,040
Speaker 5: As a play caller, you know, there's gonna be some

548
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:39,280
Speaker 5: plays you always come you want back. That's the game

549
00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:42,159
Speaker 5: of football. But as players, hey listen, there's a lot

550
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:43,760
Speaker 5: of talent out there. You're gonna get beat in one

551
00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:45,680
Speaker 5: on one matchups. But it's just a matter of doing

552
00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:48,399
Speaker 5: your job the right way and giving your team the

553
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:50,680
Speaker 5: best chance to be successful. That's the most important thing.

554
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:53,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, the New England Patriots last year coach went four

555
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:56,119
Speaker 1: and thirteen and now this year they're off to a

556
00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:59,080
Speaker 1: five and two start. Drake May their quarterback is obviously

557
00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:02,120
Speaker 1: playing and an elite level. I mentioned what they did

558
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:05,359
Speaker 1: last year because in many in many cases, you have

559
00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:08,320
Speaker 1: to go through those growing pains with a rookie quarterback.

560
00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:10,200
Speaker 1: How's our rookie quarterback coming along?

561
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:12,120
Speaker 5: Well, he's getting better and you know, the first half

562
00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:13,720
Speaker 5: the game, he played the game the way we really

563
00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:17,040
Speaker 5: want him to and he but he's working extremely hard

564
00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:20,240
Speaker 5: and it's tough. There's been some great quarterbacks in this

565
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:21,960
Speaker 5: league that are hall of famers, are going to be

566
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:25,160
Speaker 5: Hall of famers that that early on in their career

567
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 5: there was the bumps and bruises they took. It's it's

568
00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:31,359
Speaker 5: part of the game. There's so many things. When you

569
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:33,360
Speaker 5: play certain teams, they want to do so many things

570
00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:36,200
Speaker 5: to confuse you, and there's game plans that happen from

571
00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:38,840
Speaker 5: week to week. You make some changes, and the most

572
00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:41,160
Speaker 5: important thing is you try to figure out what your

573
00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:43,520
Speaker 5: players do best and go out there. But I really

574
00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:45,560
Speaker 5: like the way we started as an offense, in the

575
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:47,680
Speaker 5: way Cam moved the ball up and done the field

576
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:49,399
Speaker 5: early on in the game, and which we got to

577
00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:51,119
Speaker 5: be you know, we got to do better in the

578
00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:51,680
Speaker 5: second half.

579
00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:55,800
Speaker 1: His eagerness and willingness to learn is something that you've

580
00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:58,720
Speaker 1: referenced a number of times, and as you're going through

581
00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:01,360
Speaker 1: all of that, that's the most important thing, right is

582
00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:04,960
Speaker 1: your ability to look at what went on, good and bad,

583
00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:07,040
Speaker 1: and be willing to do the work to change it.

584
00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:08,840
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, in order to be great in this game,

585
00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:11,000
Speaker 5: you gotta love the game. You can't just go out

586
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:13,200
Speaker 5: there and wing it. You got to love it. And

587
00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:17,320
Speaker 5: you know, there's so much preparation that goes into every Sunday,

588
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:20,560
Speaker 5: and you've got to be prepare the right way. That's

589
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:23,320
Speaker 5: the number one. You gotta love coming in watching the tape,

590
00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:25,760
Speaker 5: you know, doing all the film study, looking at the

591
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:29,600
Speaker 5: game plan, talking to your coaching staff, you know, figuring out, okay,

592
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:32,080
Speaker 5: how are we attacking this team, what are we doing?

593
00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:35,160
Speaker 5: And then and then most importantly, learn from your mistakes.

594
00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:37,879
Speaker 5: You're going to make some mistakes. Big deal, move on

595
00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:41,920
Speaker 5: next play mentality, you know, just chalk that one up. Okay, hey,

596
00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:45,600
Speaker 5: if this happens again. Because you're you're always striving for perfection,

597
00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:47,520
Speaker 5: but it's tough to play a perfect game.

598
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:52,760
Speaker 1: Defensively, Cedric Gray has fifty tackles in the last four games.

599
00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:55,760
Speaker 1: He's a second year player the University of North Carolina.

600
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:58,040
Speaker 1: In some ways he really feels like more of a

601
00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:00,960
Speaker 1: rookie because he didn't get a ton of reps last year.

602
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:03,160
Speaker 1: But this guy has played like a veteran this season.

603
00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:05,560
Speaker 5: Well, you talked about all those other players are about

604
00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:07,560
Speaker 5: loving the games. Sad loves to play the game. You

605
00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:10,480
Speaker 5: see the way he practices out there. He's got to

606
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:12,959
Speaker 5: smile on his face, having a good time flying around.

607
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:16,560
Speaker 5: You just really love the way that he plays downhill.

608
00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 5: When he sees a crease and he knows he's supposed

609
00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:21,480
Speaker 5: to be somewhere, he goes there in a hurry, and

610
00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:23,560
Speaker 5: he's going to hit you. So you just love what

611
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:26,560
Speaker 5: he's doing and you love his want to. But I

612
00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:28,360
Speaker 5: think it goes to show you all the hard work

613
00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:31,160
Speaker 5: he's put into it, and the work with his staff

614
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:34,040
Speaker 5: and what they've done with him. So we're very pleased.

615
00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:35,200
Speaker 5: The way he's playing.

616
00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:37,480
Speaker 1: Directly in front of him, you had your big I

617
00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:39,960
Speaker 1: guess you would call him a nose guard at least

618
00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:43,240
Speaker 1: in some defensive schemes to and Andre sweat in the

619
00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:45,760
Speaker 1: backfield with a sack against the Patriots.

620
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:47,480
Speaker 5: Love to see it. It's great to have him back

621
00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:50,320
Speaker 5: out there. You know, he bad. He worked extremely hard

622
00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:52,800
Speaker 5: to get back out there and he did a nice

623
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:54,520
Speaker 5: job for so just look for him to even get

624
00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:55,720
Speaker 5: better this week now.

625
00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:58,880
Speaker 1: Special teams wise, coach. In a couple of years in

626
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:01,440
Speaker 1: New Nissan State, we're not going to have to worry

627
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:05,800
Speaker 1: about us front coming through as we will be indoors

628
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:08,760
Speaker 1: in New Nissan Stadium. But at least for now and

629
00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:11,760
Speaker 1: for next year, that is still a factor. The elements.

630
00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:14,040
Speaker 1: How big of a factor were they on Sunday?

631
00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:17,040
Speaker 5: Well, it's always different when you play outdoors and the

632
00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:20,640
Speaker 5: weather's like it was the other day when we had

633
00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:22,880
Speaker 5: the ball second and six on the twenty seven Yeardland.

634
00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:26,160
Speaker 5: I remember had so many discussions about kicking a field

635
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:28,640
Speaker 5: goal as we did, you know, back in New York

636
00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:30,480
Speaker 5: the old Giant Stadium back in the day with John

637
00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:32,280
Speaker 5: Casey one day and I learned a tough left or

638
00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:35,120
Speaker 5: we learned a tough lesson when John said the ball

639
00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:37,200
Speaker 5: needed to be on a certain hash versus the other

640
00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:38,920
Speaker 5: and you think it's a gimme, and all of a sudden,

641
00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:41,400
Speaker 5: there it goes. Then we had to win in overtime,

642
00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:43,960
Speaker 5: so that it's always stuck in the back of the mind.

643
00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:46,880
Speaker 5: So you know, I sat talked a number of times

644
00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:50,040
Speaker 5: with Bones during the game about where are we you know,

645
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:52,840
Speaker 5: what does two yards mean? You know, do we need

646
00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:56,440
Speaker 5: five yards? Where's the starting point? Because then you flip

647
00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:58,600
Speaker 5: it go the other direction, it's the complete opposite. Now

648
00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:01,280
Speaker 5: it's a benefit. So that's always something And I think

649
00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:03,680
Speaker 5: I can't thank Bones enough for the great communication we

650
00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:05,960
Speaker 5: had during the game. And obviously we relying on Joey

651
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:08,120
Speaker 5: to kind of say, yeah, this is where we need

652
00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:10,680
Speaker 5: to get. But you got a little interesting at times,

653
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:15,280
Speaker 5: and we will make decisions during games situationally because of that.

654
00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:18,880
Speaker 5: So it was interesting. But that's all part of it.

655
00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:21,520
Speaker 5: That's we go into games when it's like that saying, hey,

656
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:22,719
Speaker 5: you have to have a certain plan for it.

657
00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:25,080
Speaker 4: He kicked a fifty yarder into that win too.

658
00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:27,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, so did a great job. Yeah.

659
00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:30,280
Speaker 4: Are you a golfer? Do you ever worry about one

660
00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:32,160
Speaker 4: club more or one club less?

661
00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:35,560
Speaker 5: Well? I love to play golf, but the first day,

662
00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:37,800
Speaker 5: you know, when liv was born back in the days

663
00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:40,760
Speaker 5: in Calgary, and then Luke was born in Charlotte and

664
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:42,720
Speaker 5: I had kids, I kind of put my clubs away

665
00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:45,959
Speaker 5: because I'm much better spend the time with my kids

666
00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:50,800
Speaker 5: and my wife than going out playing golf. So I

667
00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:54,320
Speaker 5: haven't played a lot since been in this profession. I

668
00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:56,800
Speaker 5: prefer going home, even though I do love to play.

669
00:31:56,840 --> 00:31:59,280
Speaker 5: My wife says I should play more. But maybe what

670
00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:02,680
Speaker 5: she's telling me. But you know, I love playing, but

671
00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:04,360
Speaker 5: I'm not that good to say, Hey, my dad's a

672
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:07,600
Speaker 5: phenomenal But my dad's probably the best golfer I've played

673
00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:09,800
Speaker 5: with back in the you know, he's a little older now,

674
00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:12,400
Speaker 5: but back in the days, he was unbelievable golfer. So

675
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:15,080
Speaker 5: we played a lot of golf together, and I do

676
00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:15,680
Speaker 5: love playing.

677
00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:17,440
Speaker 4: Joey's a great golfer, by the way.

678
00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:20,040
Speaker 1: I've played some with him and I know he's probably

679
00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:23,800
Speaker 1: thinking about those elements as he was making those field goals.

680
00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:27,160
Speaker 1: And again, like you said, when you're outdoors, that is

681
00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:30,240
Speaker 1: a big factor, Coach, your family was at the game, weren't.

682
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:32,440
Speaker 5: They They worth? They real, really enjoyed it, great experience,

683
00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:35,840
Speaker 5: a great environment. So they had a good time. But

684
00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:38,000
Speaker 5: they are my number one supporters that they'll be a

685
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:41,480
Speaker 5: majority of the games and they can. My daughter's working

686
00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:44,920
Speaker 5: full time now for Philadelphia Insurance, so you know she's

687
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:47,560
Speaker 5: got she's got you know, she works full time, so

688
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:49,080
Speaker 5: when she can get out here she will, or if

689
00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:50,840
Speaker 5: she get on the road, go to certain road games

690
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:54,280
Speaker 5: things like that. And then Luke's finishing up school at

691
00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:56,480
Speaker 5: San Diego State and living in San Diego, so but

692
00:32:56,520 --> 00:32:58,720
Speaker 5: he's out here all the time. And my wife loves

693
00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:00,160
Speaker 5: going the game. So it was fun with it a

694
00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:01,200
Speaker 5: great good time.

695
00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:03,200
Speaker 1: I know how close you are to them and how

696
00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:05,920
Speaker 1: much they mean to you. And when you go through

697
00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:08,480
Speaker 1: a wild week like you did last week, a big

698
00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:11,640
Speaker 1: transitional period, having them to lean on as you go

699
00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:13,920
Speaker 1: through this the rest of the season is vital.

700
00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:16,440
Speaker 5: Well, no doubt, and the great thing is everyone talks

701
00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:20,280
Speaker 5: about me doing this before, so as my wife, so

702
00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:24,320
Speaker 5: you know, from a family perspective, you know of communicating

703
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:27,400
Speaker 5: with all the wives and families and things like that,

704
00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:30,840
Speaker 5: and we know we're here to help them. Also, it's

705
00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:32,880
Speaker 5: not just the coaches, but it's the wives and families

706
00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:35,280
Speaker 5: because we all have kids and certain things like that.

707
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:37,960
Speaker 5: So we've done this together before. So I'm very fortunate

708
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:39,880
Speaker 5: because I couldn't. I wouldn't be able to do this

709
00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:40,719
Speaker 5: without my family.

710
00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:43,720
Speaker 1: My last thing I want to reference are the three

711
00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:46,440
Speaker 1: words you're sharing with your team, if you would share

712
00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:49,720
Speaker 1: that with our audience, and why you've chosen those three words.

713
00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:51,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, Well, we talked about playing. You know, when we

714
00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:54,480
Speaker 5: play the game and we prepare to do everything, it's

715
00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:59,120
Speaker 5: it's hard, tough and together and we want to go

716
00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:02,560
Speaker 5: out there and play extremely hard, fly around uh and

717
00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:05,200
Speaker 5: be known for the style, the way we're going to play,

718
00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:07,400
Speaker 5: and and and work. You know, you can also throw

719
00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:10,000
Speaker 5: work hard in there. You know, put all the time

720
00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:13,719
Speaker 5: in to prepare so you go out there and be successful.

721
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:17,440
Speaker 5: And then when you talk about tough, it's mentally and

722
00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:20,440
Speaker 5: physically tough because there's a you know, the mental part

723
00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:22,800
Speaker 5: of this game is critical. You know, your mind is

724
00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:27,000
Speaker 5: a powerful thing, and you want to go out there

725
00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:29,600
Speaker 5: and you know there's gonna be some adversity, but how

726
00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:32,920
Speaker 5: do you respond and and you know, how do you

727
00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:36,200
Speaker 5: learn from adversity? And you know it's it's not this

728
00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:38,160
Speaker 5: is a this is a tough profession to be in

729
00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:41,239
Speaker 5: for everybody involved. So you just got to go out

730
00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:44,680
Speaker 5: there with the right mindset doing certain things. And obviously

731
00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:47,920
Speaker 5: the physical part that speaks for itself about how you

732
00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:50,959
Speaker 5: want to play. But you just want to work extremely hard,

733
00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:54,280
Speaker 5: be tough. And then the most important thing is is together.

734
00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:57,360
Speaker 5: It's you know, sticking together through the ups and downs,

735
00:34:57,719 --> 00:35:00,440
Speaker 5: you know, supporting each other, not just in the good times,

736
00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:03,799
Speaker 5: but the tough times of you know, hey, there's gonna

737
00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:05,839
Speaker 5: someone's gonna make a mistake at some point in time,

738
00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:09,040
Speaker 5: wrap your arm around them, encourage them. But we're everybody

739
00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:12,040
Speaker 5: in this organization. We're all in this together, and it's

740
00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:14,520
Speaker 5: critical we look at that and say, you know, hey,

741
00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:16,720
Speaker 5: how do we help each other out and stick together

742
00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:18,000
Speaker 5: and great things will happen.

743
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:21,600
Speaker 4: We're fortunate to have you and your family here, Coach.

744
00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:23,320
Speaker 5: It's great to be here. An honor and privilege to

745
00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:23,600
Speaker 5: be here.

746
00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:24,760
Speaker 4: We're going to have a great week.

747
00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:25,200
Speaker 5: Let's go.

748
00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:27,600
Speaker 1: Let's go up and get the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday.

749
00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:29,520
Speaker 1: Best of luck this week, coach. Thank you so much,

750
00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:31,040
Speaker 1: thank you very much, thank you for having me. I'm

751
00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:33,640
Speaker 1: Taylor Zar, Sir. This has been the OTP
