We 44 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,440 Speaker 1: didn't we didn't really want to be in this situation. 45 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:25,919 Speaker 1: But you know, sometimes in life, you know, we have 46 00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,280 Speaker 1: adversity to come your way, and it's not about the 47 00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:30,359 Speaker 1: adversity hits you, it's about what you do with it, 48 00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:33,200 Speaker 1: um once it's here. So really proud of our guys 49 00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:35,079 Speaker 1: and the way we're handling so far. I'm n sure 50 00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:38,760 Speaker 1: you able to build chemistry and camaraderie with your teammates 51 00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:41,880 Speaker 1: even though you're not able to physically be on the field, 52 00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:44,920 Speaker 1: you're still able to start to dig into the mental 53 00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,680 Speaker 1: aspect of this game a little bit, right, Yeah, of course, 54 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,240 Speaker 1: you know obviously, it's that's what I miss most about 55 00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:52,520 Speaker 1: not being together, is the locker room and and just 56 00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:55,320 Speaker 1: being around each other, having fun together, you know, building that, 57 00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:58,440 Speaker 1: building that team building camaraderie, like you said, but yeah, 58 00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:00,680 Speaker 1: we're still able to. We have some time on there, 59 00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:02,880 Speaker 1: we'll we'll chat and doe each other a hard time 60 00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:04,400 Speaker 1: and kind of rib on each other a little bit. 61 00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:06,919 Speaker 1: So we're building that. And then you know, like I said, 62 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,639 Speaker 1: virtually we're detailing things up, you know, to a level 63 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:11,480 Speaker 1: that we never got to last year, and then getting 64 00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:13,960 Speaker 1: on more on the same page. And um, just hearing 65 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:17,560 Speaker 1: the receivers you know, talk back on our you know, 66 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,000 Speaker 1: regurgitate back basically, but we went over the day before 67 00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:22,560 Speaker 1: or questions that are thrown at them. It's been really 68 00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:24,520 Speaker 1: cool to just to see how those guys are growing 69 00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:26,760 Speaker 1: and we're all just you know, getting more and more 70 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,520 Speaker 1: on the same page. Now here's an X factor for 71 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 1: you that you normally don't have to deal with. You 72 00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:35,920 Speaker 1: have small kids who are in the same house as 73 00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:40,720 Speaker 1: you while you're trying to learn eight football playbook. How 74 00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:44,000 Speaker 1: does their presence impact your ability to really focus in 75 00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,320 Speaker 1: on what we need to be doing. Yeah, it can 76 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:50,480 Speaker 1: be tough. You know. Thankfully, our our meeting time kind 77 00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:53,440 Speaker 1: of overlaps with their nap time a little bit. So, um, 78 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:55,280 Speaker 1: you know, I kind of luck myself in a guest 79 00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:58,400 Speaker 1: bedroom and uh and really separate myself from them. My 80 00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:00,840 Speaker 1: wife does a great job of kind of keeping them away. 81 00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:02,920 Speaker 1: There's been a few times whenever you know, there's an 82 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:07,560 Speaker 1: escape kid and they come come bargeing in or trying 83 00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:09,960 Speaker 1: to distract me from the outside. But it's it's all good, 84 00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:12,280 Speaker 1: you know. I think that's one thing that the guys 85 00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:14,320 Speaker 1: have have done a really good job from in general, 86 00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:17,880 Speaker 1: is being able to focus in and kind of eliminate 87 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:20,960 Speaker 1: the outside distractions where and how we're handling it where 88 00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:23,520 Speaker 1: you're not getting all types of outside noise and background 89 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:26,280 Speaker 1: noise and things like that. So it's really been professional 90 00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:28,760 Speaker 1: and we're getting a lot of You've mentioned in an 91 00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:31,600 Speaker 1: interview that you've been throwing some with Titans tight End 92 00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:34,520 Speaker 1: John Nu Smith. How has that been going. Oh, it's 93 00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:36,680 Speaker 1: been great. You know. I'm thankful to have John You 94 00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:38,680 Speaker 1: down here with me in South Florida. Like I said, 95 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:40,839 Speaker 1: wish I was with all the guys up up getting 96 00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:43,440 Speaker 1: ready for some OTAs. But having John You down here, 97 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:46,440 Speaker 1: you know, we've been working for a couple of months now, 98 00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:49,600 Speaker 1: you know, just just throwing, just seeing him and having 99 00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:53,039 Speaker 1: a familiar face, a familiar body and get more on 100 00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:54,920 Speaker 1: the same page with John You has been really good. 101 00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,520 Speaker 1: You know. I think he's a he's a dynamic weapon. 102 00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:00,640 Speaker 1: He showed it last year. I think his aggression as 103 00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:03,360 Speaker 1: the year went on and just his athleticism really got 104 00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:06,400 Speaker 1: to shine as the year went on, and look forward 105 00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:08,720 Speaker 1: for more of that this year. All right, so we're 106 00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:12,280 Speaker 1: going to get to questions from Titans fans and from 107 00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:15,440 Speaker 1: season ticket members who were with us live. If you 108 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,599 Speaker 1: want to tweet a question in for Ryan Tannehill, do 109 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:22,960 Speaker 1: it right now hashtag otp Q. But I've got one 110 00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,919 Speaker 1: question I've been dying to ask you because you know, 111 00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:29,360 Speaker 1: we played against you numerous times and you always played 112 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:33,920 Speaker 1: well against us. Unfortunately, knowing your story back at Texas 113 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,600 Speaker 1: A and M that you didn't win the quarterback job 114 00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:41,320 Speaker 1: initially and you moved to wide receiver and had success 115 00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:44,719 Speaker 1: at the position, But the story is you didn't really 116 00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,360 Speaker 1: play wide receiver full time. You were still in the 117 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:50,560 Speaker 1: quarterback meetings. I've just always been dying to ask you. 118 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,960 Speaker 1: How did that work? Yeah, So going in I wresh it. 119 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,240 Speaker 1: In my first year at AM I rush a freshman year. 120 00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:57,880 Speaker 1: We had a guy named c McGee. He was going 121 00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:00,680 Speaker 1: into his senior year. He had been starting for three 122 00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:02,400 Speaker 1: and a half years, so I was going to be 123 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:05,800 Speaker 1: a backup and you know, we weren't really deep at 124 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:08,840 Speaker 1: that at the receiver position at that time, and coach 125 00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:10,599 Speaker 1: Shermon Mike Sharman came over to me, He's like, hey, 126 00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:13,920 Speaker 1: you know, would you be interested in playing receiver? So, well, 127 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:16,200 Speaker 1: I'm a quarterback and I want to play quarterback, but 128 00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:18,760 Speaker 1: if you'll allow me to stay in quarterback meetings and 129 00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:21,880 Speaker 1: at the end of the day, I want to play quarterbacks, 130 00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:25,760 Speaker 1: So prepare to play quarterback. You know, I'll play receiver 131 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:27,960 Speaker 1: as well. So you know, a couple of days later, 132 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 1: I think my first day, I caught a couple of 133 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:31,839 Speaker 1: touchdowns in practice, and I think three days later I 134 00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:33,800 Speaker 1: was one of our starting wide receivers. So it was 135 00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:36,880 Speaker 1: a crazy fast transition and kind of got stuck out 136 00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:39,680 Speaker 1: there for a few years. But the whole time was 137 00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:42,600 Speaker 1: my eyes were on the end goal of of playing 138 00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:45,240 Speaker 1: quarterback and being a position that I really wanted to 139 00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:47,920 Speaker 1: be in. So yeah, I stayed in QB meetings and 140 00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:50,760 Speaker 1: individual drills in practice. The whole time I was doing 141 00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:54,240 Speaker 1: quarterback things, I wasn't ever doing receiver drills in practice. 142 00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:57,719 Speaker 1: And then you know, finally got my opportunity my junior 143 00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:00,400 Speaker 1: year and try not to look back. I got to 144 00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:02,919 Speaker 1: ask you about college. So I want to ask you 145 00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:06,000 Speaker 1: about your rookie year with the Dolphins, because there was 146 00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:10,080 Speaker 1: a tiny, little show being filmed called Hard Knocks, and 147 00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:13,520 Speaker 1: you found yourself as a rookie being one of the 148 00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:17,640 Speaker 1: main characters featured in the show. What was that experience 149 00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:20,000 Speaker 1: like for you? Just trying to get your feet on 150 00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:22,000 Speaker 1: the ground in the NFL and oh, by the way, 151 00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:25,440 Speaker 1: this huge HBO show was happening. Yeah, it was crazy, 152 00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:28,360 Speaker 1: you know. Honestly, I was just trying to keep my 153 00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:31,240 Speaker 1: head above water at the time, trying to learn as 154 00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:33,240 Speaker 1: much as I could and grow as much as I could. 155 00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:35,960 Speaker 1: Obviously had had a lot to learn and still do, 156 00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:38,600 Speaker 1: but yeah, I didn't know a whole lot at the time, 157 00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:40,400 Speaker 1: and I was just trying to do my best each 158 00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:42,800 Speaker 1: and every day to go out and play the best 159 00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:44,960 Speaker 1: football I could. And yeah, like you said, on top 160 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,560 Speaker 1: of that was a show. So there's a funny moments 161 00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:50,680 Speaker 1: from that show. I think one of the people probably 162 00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:52,600 Speaker 1: remember is I didn't know the divisions and who was 163 00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:56,480 Speaker 1: in divisions or Matt Moore had asked me, I think 164 00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:58,360 Speaker 1: you know who's an art division. I knew that one, 165 00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:01,600 Speaker 1: but I didn't know anything past that. And I think 166 00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:05,440 Speaker 1: that was probably a moment where I realized, well, crap, 167 00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:07,120 Speaker 1: I got some more to learn, you know. At least 168 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:09,360 Speaker 1: figure out these divisions. But yeah, it was. It was 169 00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:11,920 Speaker 1: a fun time. You know. I think looking back at it, 170 00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:13,600 Speaker 1: I haven't gone back and watched it, but looking back 171 00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:14,840 Speaker 1: at it, I probably wish I would have had a 172 00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:16,680 Speaker 1: little more fun with it. You know. I felt like 173 00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:18,880 Speaker 1: it was more of an annoyance at the time, just 174 00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:24,120 Speaker 1: that there was cameras always around, always having microphones in 175 00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:26,680 Speaker 1: in the meeting rooms and always around. So you never 176 00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:32,720 Speaker 1: felt like that you could really just you know, be yourself. 177 00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:36,200 Speaker 1: And then I think that that people are watching probably 178 00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:38,480 Speaker 1: overthought a little too much at the time, but you know, 179 00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:41,400 Speaker 1: it was a learning experience and there's some plenty of 180 00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:44,960 Speaker 1: moments for sure. How long had you been married when 181 00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:48,120 Speaker 1: that happened, when hard knocks happened. So I had got 182 00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:51,720 Speaker 1: married in January after my senior season, before the draft, 183 00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:54,560 Speaker 1: so played in the Bowl game, whatever date that was, 184 00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:58,000 Speaker 1: you know, end of December, early January. I fly down 185 00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:02,600 Speaker 1: to Florida to img at in Bradenson, and I'm gonna 186 00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:04,680 Speaker 1: get like, I think, like three or four days of 187 00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:06,600 Speaker 1: training in before I fly to my wedding. We got 188 00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:10,160 Speaker 1: married destination in Mexico, So I was gonna get like 189 00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:12,440 Speaker 1: a three or four days of training in fly to 190 00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:15,439 Speaker 1: Mexico for three days, have a destination wedding, and then 191 00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:17,880 Speaker 1: fly back and start training again. And I was planning 192 00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:20,280 Speaker 1: on playing in the Senior Bowl. Well in the process, 193 00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:23,920 Speaker 1: like my second day of throwing, I break my foot, 194 00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:29,120 Speaker 1: falling out just doing QB drills, nothing crazy. I'm rolling 195 00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:31,320 Speaker 1: out to my left, I turned my shoulders and you 196 00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:34,360 Speaker 1: know it's my fifth metatar sold breaks in my foot. 197 00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:37,120 Speaker 1: So here I'm you know, I'm freaking out.

So end up going back to 201 00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:49,839 Speaker 1: to college station see a doctor. There's like, yeah, I 202 00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:53,719 Speaker 1: definitely need surgery, So schedule my surgery for the day 203 00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:56,240 Speaker 1: after my wedding. So I fly to Mexico with the 204 00:09:56,320 --> 00:10:00,800 Speaker 1: broken foot on crutches, get married in Mexico. You know, 205 00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,280 Speaker 1: I'm like trying to limp down the aisle no crutches, 206 00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:07,080 Speaker 1: you know, on a broken foot. Um My wife's pushing 207 00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:09,640 Speaker 1: me back to our room in a wheelchair. You know, 208 00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:13,400 Speaker 1: after the perception probably not not what she had envisioned 209 00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:18,360 Speaker 1: once she pictured her wedding night you know. But but yeah, 210 00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:20,680 Speaker 1: so I get married with a broken foot and then 211 00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:23,800 Speaker 1: go back half surgery the next day and then you know, 212 00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:26,079 Speaker 1: started the rehab process. But yeah, it was a kind 213 00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:29,240 Speaker 1: of a crazy couple of weeks there of figuring out 214 00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:31,280 Speaker 1: what to happen, what's going to happen, and getting married 215 00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:35,040 Speaker 1: and then surgery and not how my wife probably saw 216 00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:38,240 Speaker 1: the beginning of her marriage going. That's an eventful first 217 00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:41,360 Speaker 1: year of marriage with with that, between dad and hard 218 00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:44,760 Speaker 1: knocks and being a rookie starting quarterback in the NFL. 219 00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:48,000 Speaker 1: That's amazing. Well, Okay, so Amy and I've asked enough questions. 220 00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,400 Speaker 1: Are you ready to take some questions from Titans fingers? 221 00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:53,200 Speaker 1: Let's do it all right, I'm gonna jump in first. 222 00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:57,160 Speaker 1: Brandon from Nashville submitted this at Tennessee Titans dot com 223 00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:01,960 Speaker 1: slash otp Q. Didn't wants to know what has been 224 00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:05,640 Speaker 1: the most pleasant surprise since you became a member of 225 00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:09,760 Speaker 1: the Titans, Ryan, The most pleasant surprise, man, There's been 226 00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:12,240 Speaker 1: so many good things, you know, since I joined the organization. 227 00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:14,480 Speaker 1: The team is just really really good. You know. I 228 00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:16,280 Speaker 1: think that's one thing that you never know what kind 229 00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:18,480 Speaker 1: of team you're walking into. A kind of organization, and 230 00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:21,360 Speaker 1: you know, the leadership from the top down coach ybel 231 00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:24,280 Speaker 1: down to the coaching staff, and then just a locker 232 00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:26,120 Speaker 1: room full of great guys. You know, I think that 233 00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:28,959 Speaker 1: makes the biggest difference on your day to day. You know, like, 234 00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:31,720 Speaker 1: do you enjoy work? Is it? Is it miserable? Do 235 00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:34,080 Speaker 1: you like the guys you're you're spending you know, twelve 236 00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:36,959 Speaker 1: hours within a day, and I do. I really love 237 00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:38,880 Speaker 1: the team. I love the guys that we have. We 238 00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:41,439 Speaker 1: have good people who are also good football players and 239 00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:43,760 Speaker 1: want to win, and when you kind of combine those 240 00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:46,839 Speaker 1: things together, it's something special. So I think that's one 241 00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:48,880 Speaker 1: thing I've been really thankful for. And then on top 242 00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:50,679 Speaker 1: of that, you know, Tennessee has been nice. You know, 243 00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:53,120 Speaker 1: people in Nashville have been great. I get that southern 244 00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:56,640 Speaker 1: hospitality to it, something I'm more familiar with from back 245 00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:58,520 Speaker 1: in Texas, you know, growing up. It's got more of 246 00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:00,880 Speaker 1: that southern field. So it's been kind of nice to 247 00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:04,400 Speaker 1: get back to. Okay, we'll get to some from hashtag 248 00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:08,079 Speaker 1: otp qes live from season ticket members in a minute. 249 00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:10,400 Speaker 1: I've got another good way. This is from Nashville. I 250 00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:13,720 Speaker 1: love this question over the course of a season, riot 251 00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:17,680 Speaker 1: how much evolution is they're in play calling. Is there 252 00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:20,880 Speaker 1: massive change from week to week depending on the team, 253 00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:24,719 Speaker 1: or is it pretty consistent with minor tweaks. I think 254 00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:26,400 Speaker 1: it depends on a system when you're in, you know, 255 00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:29,160 Speaker 1: I think I've been in systems where you know, every 256 00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:31,840 Speaker 1: week is a ton of new material, a ton of 257 00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:34,920 Speaker 1: new calls that I've been in systems where it's minor 258 00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:38,640 Speaker 1: tweaks and you're kind of creating plays a few play 259 00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:41,640 Speaker 1: game plan plays or tweeks in the game plan. So 260 00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:43,679 Speaker 1: it can really be on both ends of the spectrum. 261 00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:46,439 Speaker 1: Depends you know, what your system is, what your coordinator likes. 262 00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:49,040 Speaker 1: But I will say that you know, Arthur's kind of 263 00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:51,120 Speaker 1: the guy who we believe in what we do and 264 00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:53,040 Speaker 1: we just want to do it better and better each week. 265 00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:55,400 Speaker 1: And obviously we're making changes. We still have game plan 266 00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:57,320 Speaker 1: plays and things we try to take advantage of. But 267 00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:00,079 Speaker 1: you know, when you're able to really focus in on 268 00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:03,559 Speaker 1: details and get better and better at the techniques you're 269 00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:06,760 Speaker 1: using and kind of overlap that with a similar place 270 00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:09,640 Speaker 1: throughout the throughout the year, you really see a lot 271 00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:11,959 Speaker 1: more growth. And you know, that's what we've been doing. 272 00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:16,120 Speaker 1: From Alan from Jackson, Tennessee, he says, what is one 273 00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:19,360 Speaker 1: area in particular that you're hoping to improve in this 274 00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:22,360 Speaker 1: upcoming season? Being a competitor, you go back and you 275 00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:25,560 Speaker 1: look at, you know, where can we be better? And 276 00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:28,960 Speaker 1: there's so many areas, so many details that throughout the 277 00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:32,360 Speaker 1: course of the season where we had opportunities that we missed, 278 00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:38,120 Speaker 1: you know, um little things footwork, timing, accuracy, just being 279 00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:42,280 Speaker 1: able to anticipate getting through the progression a little faster. 280 00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:44,240 Speaker 1: I think, you know, as a year went on, I 281 00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:46,520 Speaker 1: felt myself doing those things better and better, just being 282 00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:48,880 Speaker 1: more and more familiar with the offense and just getting 283 00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:51,200 Speaker 1: the reps kind of banked up. And so, you know, 284 00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:54,400 Speaker 1: going back to second year in the offense, I'm really 285 00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:57,440 Speaker 1: excited to kind of you pick up where we left 286 00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:00,960 Speaker 1: off last year and work on I'm just getting more 287 00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:04,679 Speaker 1: detailed and better and better. Here's another one from Victor 288 00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:07,920 Speaker 1: in Tennessee. He said, what is it about the Titans 289 00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:10,960 Speaker 1: system that ledgie to have the success that you've had 290 00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:14,439 Speaker 1: with this organization? A couple of things, right, It's the 291 00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:18,200 Speaker 1: guys around me, obviously, are aren't credible playing playing really 292 00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:21,000 Speaker 1: good football, you know, when you're not getting sacked, you're 293 00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:22,600 Speaker 1: not getting hit, it's a lot easier to play. The 294 00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:25,440 Speaker 1: quarterback position had guys on the outside getting open and 295 00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:28,160 Speaker 1: making plays and obviously Garret behind me who was who 296 00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:30,080 Speaker 1: was told in the rock and leading league and rushing, 297 00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:33,480 Speaker 1: so you kind of combine all those things in it 298 00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:35,600 Speaker 1: and it all works together. Right. We say it all 299 00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:37,440 Speaker 1: the time in the meeting room that it takes all eleven, 300 00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:39,440 Speaker 1: whether it's in the run game or the pass game. 301 00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:41,360 Speaker 1: You know, Derek's going to get the credit in the 302 00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:45,040 Speaker 1: run game, but we had guys receivers blocking forty yards 303 00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:48,000 Speaker 1: down the field, Corey, you know, hustling to get backside cutoffs, 304 00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:51,120 Speaker 1: aj same thing. You know, it all works together, and 305 00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:53,280 Speaker 1: the opposite line of obviously is where it all starts 306 00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:55,560 Speaker 1: in the run game or pass games. So when people 307 00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:57,320 Speaker 1: look at it, you know, they kind of look at 308 00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:01,480 Speaker 1: the numbers or the stats of skill position players, but 309 00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:04,040 Speaker 1: it really takes all eleven. It all works together, and 310 00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:07,480 Speaker 1: we put a lot of a lot of thought and 311 00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:12,480 Speaker 1: a lot of intentionality into pointing out like little things 312 00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:14,720 Speaker 1: that make the whole thing go, whether it's you know, 313 00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:17,800 Speaker 1: receivers blocking the run game or a back picking up 314 00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:20,520 Speaker 1: a blitzer in the past game. You know, it's it's 315 00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:23,680 Speaker 1: crucial that we all do the little things that are 316 00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:26,560 Speaker 1: in our job requirements because it all works together and 317 00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:29,200 Speaker 1: it makes the whole team better. This is the OTP 318 00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:33,480 Speaker 1: presented by Farm Bureau Health Plans. When it comes to 319 00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:36,600 Speaker 1: your healthcare coverage, you should be the one to make 320 00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:39,520 Speaker 1: the call. So called Farm Bureau Health Plans. They've been 321 00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:43,200 Speaker 1: protecting Tennessee and since nineteen forty seven do we have 322 00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:47,760 Speaker 1: any otp q's yet? I do have an otpque. This 323 00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:51,800 Speaker 1: lineage from Carrie and she asks what game are you 324 00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:54,920 Speaker 1: most looking forward to this season? Honestly, I was gonna 325 00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:56,800 Speaker 1: say Denver because that's you know, I know, that's where 326 00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:58,720 Speaker 1: we start to schedule, that's where we take things off. 327 00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:00,680 Speaker 1: It's a Monday night game. Don't even know who we 328 00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:04,520 Speaker 1: play after that. So excited for Denver. I think obviously 329 00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:07,000 Speaker 1: a game that we didn't play our best last year 330 00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:09,600 Speaker 1: and got to give them credit. You know, they beat 331 00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:12,400 Speaker 1: Experient Square, but you know, not scoring a point really 332 00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:14,720 Speaker 1: leaves a bad taste in your mouth. So you know, 333 00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:17,320 Speaker 1: looking forward to kicking the year off right, first game 334 00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:19,080 Speaker 1: of the year. You got another one Amy, or you 335 00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:22,360 Speaker 1: want me to jump back in one more.

He's running out of quarantine neal ideas, Oh man, 338 00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:34,560 Speaker 1: this is probably a better question for my wife, who 339 00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:37,320 Speaker 1: does ninety nine point nine percent of the cooking in 340 00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:39,440 Speaker 1: our house. You know, I'll put some food on the 341 00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:41,520 Speaker 1: grill or try to help out where I can, But 342 00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:44,760 Speaker 1: I'm more of like a dish cleaner or assistant, like 343 00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:46,600 Speaker 1: hand me this. Okay, here you go, you know what 344 00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:50,480 Speaker 1: I mean. But my favorite food, We've been eating a 345 00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:53,760 Speaker 1: lot of fish tacos, honestly. I mean, I'm still in 346 00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:55,960 Speaker 1: South Florida and I try to go fishing as much 347 00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:58,920 Speaker 1: as I can, so whenever we have fresh fish, I 348 00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:01,520 Speaker 1: love fish chacos. And my wife does a great job. 349 00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:04,040 Speaker 1: She know, dices up all the toppings to put on top, 350 00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:07,119 Speaker 1: and I usually grill the fish and I have some 351 00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:09,240 Speaker 1: fresh fish tacos. So there's really not a lot better 352 00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:11,879 Speaker 1: than that. I'm gonna throw in this question from Matt 353 00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:16,600 Speaker 1: in Rockland, California. Amy, what advice Ryan would you offer 354 00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:20,240 Speaker 1: to someone like Andy Dalton or cam Newton who are 355 00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:22,920 Speaker 1: likely to be in the same situation that you were 356 00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:26,320 Speaker 1: in last year, going from starter to back up on 357 00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:29,520 Speaker 1: a new team. Yeah, it's a tough, tough position, honestly. 358 00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:31,359 Speaker 1: You know, it was a lot of hard times, a 359 00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:34,920 Speaker 1: lot hard you know, conversations and moments you know that 360 00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:39,400 Speaker 1: happened throughout that whole process. But just stay true to yourself, 361 00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:43,400 Speaker 1: stay true to the what you believe in and the 362 00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:45,720 Speaker 1: pillars that kind of make you who you are, and 363 00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:47,280 Speaker 1: I'll try to do the best you can with the 364 00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:49,800 Speaker 1: situation as you're in. You know, whenever you know I 365 00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:51,400 Speaker 1: was backing up, I was trying to do the best 366 00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:54,560 Speaker 1: possible to all I could at prepping the defense and 367 00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:57,479 Speaker 1: preparing myself to go in if called upon. As long 368 00:17:57,520 --> 00:17:59,840 Speaker 1: as you do that, no matter really what position you're 369 00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:01,600 Speaker 1: in in life, you know whether you're in the position 370 00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:04,160 Speaker 1: you want to be in or like you said, when 371 00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:06,520 Speaker 1: I was a backup, that's not the position I wanted 372 00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:07,760 Speaker 1: to be in. But as long as you do the 373 00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:10,560 Speaker 1: best possible job you can of what you're given, and 374 00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:13,040 Speaker 1: you have nothing to look back and regret. Good question 375 00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:15,760 Speaker 1: for Matt in Rockland, California. This one's from John and 376 00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:19,240 Speaker 1: Brett Wood. It seems like some of the best quarterbacks 377 00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:22,679 Speaker 1: are not necessarily the fastest runners or the ones with 378 00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:25,880 Speaker 1: the biggest arms, but they seem to have the skills 379 00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:30,320 Speaker 1: to quickly analyze defenses, which leads to great anticipation and 380 00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:34,439 Speaker 1: decision making. What do quarterbacks do during the off season 381 00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:38,760 Speaker 1: to help them develop and enhance those mental skills? Yeah, 382 00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:41,840 Speaker 1: I think obviously quick decision making is huge. You know. 383 00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:45,040 Speaker 1: I think sometimes you don't even realize how many decisions 384 00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:47,479 Speaker 1: you're making at the line of scrimmage with you know, 385 00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:50,360 Speaker 1: cans and checks and audibles you have at the line 386 00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:52,399 Speaker 1: of scrimmage along with you know, your post naps off 387 00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:54,880 Speaker 1: where the ball is going to go. But I think 388 00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:57,480 Speaker 1: washing tape is where it all starts, you know, mentally 389 00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:00,040 Speaker 1: going through plays. Okay, this is the play called a 390 00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:02,760 Speaker 1: turn on the tape. Okay, this is the defense. This 391 00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:05,320 Speaker 1: is what I anticipate happening, whether it's plays that we 392 00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:08,639 Speaker 1: had last year, um or you know you're watching another 393 00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:11,440 Speaker 1: team and uh, you know it's watching a defense and 394 00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:13,480 Speaker 1: what you kind of see out of the defense. So 395 00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:16,000 Speaker 1: the tape actually allows you to kind of mentally place 396 00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:19,320 Speaker 1: yourself in the situation and go through it mentally, even 397 00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:21,200 Speaker 1: if you're not you know with the with the team 398 00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:25,680 Speaker 1: has a question. He's asking for Knoxville. Yes, what was 399 00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:30,040 Speaker 1: your favorite playing last year? Oh? My gosh, my favorite play? 400 00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:32,800 Speaker 1: We had so many cool plays, you know, Man. Probably 401 00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:35,639 Speaker 1: probably one of my favorites was the long touchdown to 402 00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:38,920 Speaker 1: AJ and Oakland play that we kind of talked about 403 00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:41,640 Speaker 1: earlier in the week. Made a slight adjustment on it 404 00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:44,520 Speaker 1: and ended up coming up big. You know, aj R 405 00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:46,959 Speaker 1: in a great route and made a huge play. Man. 406 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:49,400 Speaker 1: There's so many cool plays you think back to the year, 407 00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:53,119 Speaker 1: and um, it's really hard to pick one, but I 408 00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:55,040 Speaker 1: think that's probably one of the longest touchdowns I've had 409 00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:58,080 Speaker 1: in my career, So I'll say that one. I think 410 00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:02,280 Speaker 1: that play was so great from our standpoint as fans 411 00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:06,159 Speaker 1: watching it, because it was obvious to stand there and 412 00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:08,760 Speaker 1: throw that ball in that situation you were gonna get it. 413 00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:11,760 Speaker 1: The man's coming down the middle, you're gonna get hit. 414 00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:14,560 Speaker 1: You know you've got to step into that throw, and 415 00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:16,720 Speaker 1: yet you did it, made a great throw to AJ 416 00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:19,639 Speaker 1: and it's a ninety one yard touchdown. Is that the 417 00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:23,120 Speaker 1: hardest part of the job, knowing when you're gonna get it, 418 00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:27,520 Speaker 1: you're gonna get hit like that? And still finishing the execution. 419 00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:30,960 Speaker 1: You know, honestly, I don't mind that as much. You 420 00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:33,280 Speaker 1: know what sucks is whenever you know you're gonna get 421 00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:34,760 Speaker 1: hit and you got nowhere to throw it, and that's 422 00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:39,200 Speaker 1: the if you got a guy open man, Yeah, I'll 423 00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:41,280 Speaker 1: stand in there all day and let it rip. You know, 424 00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:43,800 Speaker 1: It's it's kind of the price to do on business. 425 00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:46,120 Speaker 1: But yeah, the harder part is when you got nowhere 426 00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:47,600 Speaker 1: to throw it and you gotta take it to the chin. 427 00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:50,840 Speaker 1: All right, we have any live ones from Titan season 428 00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:56,040 Speaker 1: ticket members should hashtag OTPQ via Twitter. Nope, Keith, everyone 429 00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:59,960 Speaker 1: is carefully crafting, all right, So I'm gonna do one 430 00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:03,480 Speaker 1: from Josh and Brooklyn. Then where did that slick finger 431 00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:06,119 Speaker 1: roll come from? Would you run it in for a touchdown? 432 00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:08,280 Speaker 1: We love it? I don't know. It just kind of 433 00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:10,240 Speaker 1: came to me as I was running the end zone. 434 00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:12,760 Speaker 1: Hadn't thought about it beforehand, hadn't talked about it or anything. 435 00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:15,520 Speaker 1: Just kind of ran in the end zone and wanted 436 00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:17,320 Speaker 1: to put a little flare on it and I liked it. 437 00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:19,920 Speaker 1: Got a lot of good feedback, So kevit rolling look 438 00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:21,840 Speaker 1: forward again this year. I'll keep it going Yeah, the 439 00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:26,199 Speaker 1: finger roll is always in style, always sure it's a 440 00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:30,200 Speaker 1: classic move. I've got a question from John and Tom's River, 441 00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:33,919 Speaker 1: New Jersey. He said, did started last year as the 442 00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:37,840 Speaker 1: backup quarterback help you build a rapport with receivers like 443 00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:40,719 Speaker 1: a j. Brown who was also kind of running with 444 00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:42,800 Speaker 1: the twos throughout the season. You know, I got to 445 00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:45,199 Speaker 1: work with some of those guys that they ended up 446 00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:47,160 Speaker 1: playing big for us. Calif Ram would be another guy 447 00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:49,280 Speaker 1: who spent a lot of time with in the off 448 00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:52,080 Speaker 1: season and in training camp. Darius Jennings another guy that 449 00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:54,040 Speaker 1: you know wasn't with the first group a whole lot, 450 00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:56,959 Speaker 1: but ended up playing and making some big place for us, 451 00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:59,320 Speaker 1: you know, throughout the year. So our receiver group was 452 00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:03,280 Speaker 1: soge last year and that was really a blessing for us. 453 00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:06,680 Speaker 1: And I think that time playing with those guys and 454 00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:09,359 Speaker 1: getting a lot of reps with them thanked up, you know, 455 00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:12,720 Speaker 1: throughout the offseason, throughout training camp. It was huge for me. 456 00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:16,680 Speaker 1: This is the OTP presented by Farm Bureau Health Plans. 457 00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:20,680 Speaker 1: My next question comes from Troy and Livingston. He says, 458 00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:23,800 Speaker 1: after you took over last year, the whole team seemed 459 00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:27,000 Speaker 1: to come together as a fan the biggest difference we 460 00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:30,440 Speaker 1: noticed is that you were all having fun. Do you 461 00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:32,919 Speaker 1: think that was as big a factor in the team's 462 00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:36,200 Speaker 1: success last season as anything else? Yeah. I know when 463 00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:38,600 Speaker 1: you're playing as a team and you're enjoying what you're doing, 464 00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:42,399 Speaker 1: that there's that synergistic you know, compounding that happens. You 465 00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:45,840 Speaker 1: start to play play better than than anyone guys playing. 466 00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:47,720 Speaker 1: And when you're playing together as a team. You know, 467 00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:50,320 Speaker 1: I think that winning is fun and when you're having 468 00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:53,560 Speaker 1: having fun, that means you're usually winning games. So um, 469 00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:55,119 Speaker 1: you know, the more you can do that, obviously, the 470 00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:57,119 Speaker 1: better situation you're going to be in. All right, I 471 00:22:57,240 --> 00:23:01,879 Speaker 1: got from halfa o t he Q and this is Rob. 472 00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:06,480 Speaker 1: He asks how they's getting Adam Humphrey's back healthy next 473 00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:10,280 Speaker 1: year impact the potential of the passing offense. Adam so good, 474 00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:12,360 Speaker 1: you know, he obviously does a great job for us, 475 00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:15,560 Speaker 1: primarily in the slot. He's been doing it a several 476 00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:17,680 Speaker 1: years now, so he has a has a great feel for, 477 00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:20,520 Speaker 1: you know, working the inside, working between the numbers. Just 478 00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:22,679 Speaker 1: going back and watching tape that we've been watching, you know, 479 00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:26,439 Speaker 1: through training camp and even throughout the season last year. 480 00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:29,400 Speaker 1: There's so many big plays where his savvyness really helped 481 00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:32,400 Speaker 1: him get open and helped him make the play. So yeah, 482 00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:34,640 Speaker 1: having a veteran guy like Adam who has a great 483 00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:37,280 Speaker 1: feel for working between the numbers really opened up, you know, 484 00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:39,720 Speaker 1: a lot of things for us, and obviously huge on 485 00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:42,760 Speaker 1: third down. He made a couple even in Kansas City, 486 00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:46,240 Speaker 1: He's working on a on a bummed up ankle, but 487 00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:49,760 Speaker 1: still still was able to, you know, make a make 488 00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:51,960 Speaker 1: a couple big third down plays for us. So getting 489 00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:54,240 Speaker 1: him back healthy's going to be huge. There's a question 490 00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:58,520 Speaker 1: from Matt in Atoka, Tennessee. Where do you believe the 491 00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:02,280 Speaker 1: Titans offense him most in twenty twenty. You know, one 492 00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:04,520 Speaker 1: of our keys this year is just being more efficient, 493 00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:07,320 Speaker 1: you know, and everything we do, whether it's a single 494 00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:11,480 Speaker 1: route or you know, where the ball goes in a concept, 495 00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:13,560 Speaker 1: you know, being more efficient, getting the most we can 496 00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:16,600 Speaker 1: out of each and every play. And with that comes consistency. 497 00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:19,359 Speaker 1: You know. The more you can be consistent with every 498 00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:21,600 Speaker 1: position it's on the field, you know, the better you're 499 00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:26,160 Speaker 1: going to be. Caleb from Florence, Alabama. What's the biggest 500 00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:29,960 Speaker 1: difference between playing in Nashville and playing in Miami? Practice 501 00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:32,320 Speaker 1: is a little colder in Nashville, and I'll say that, 502 00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:35,359 Speaker 1: which I kind of like, I really enjoyed, you know, 503 00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:38,800 Speaker 1: getting some seasons right and in Miami it's it's beautiful 504 00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:42,120 Speaker 1: and obviously it's it's awesome, but it's it's hot pretty 505 00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:44,080 Speaker 1: much year round. You know, you don't get any any 506 00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:48,040 Speaker 1: seasonal changes. You know, Christmas is eighty five degrees, which 507 00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:50,359 Speaker 1: is kind of cool. But then after a couple of years, 508 00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:52,320 Speaker 1: you're like, man, I wish I, you know, had had 509 00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:55,320 Speaker 1: a cold Christmas. So yeah, that's one thing, just just 510 00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:58,760 Speaker 1: cold practices. It was a little different, um as far 511 00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:01,479 Speaker 1: as being in Miami and just a totally different cities, 512 00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:04,960 Speaker 1: different vibes, and I think both cities are great, but 513 00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:07,560 Speaker 1: you know, I've enjoyed being in Tennessee. Here's a question 514 00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:12,239 Speaker 1: from hashtag oh tp q Alan would like to know 515 00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:15,200 Speaker 1: what was going through your mind when you were mare 516 00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:18,800 Speaker 1: during your rushing touchdown again to Jacksonville from thinking of 517 00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:21,119 Speaker 1: the right plays when I kind of ran and got 518 00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:24,320 Speaker 1: hit in the back, jumped over a guy and scored. Yeah. Yeah, 519 00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:26,679 Speaker 1: as I was in the air, I knew I was scoring, 520 00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:28,680 Speaker 1: but I was probably thinking this is about to hurt 521 00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:32,000 Speaker 1: as I hit the you know, it's like you're all in. 522 00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:33,479 Speaker 1: You're all in, and then you're up in the air. 523 00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:36,080 Speaker 1: You reach that pop moment where all right, I'm scoring 524 00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:38,920 Speaker 1: and you look down you're like, yeah, this is gonna hurt. 525 00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:42,119 Speaker 1: And it did. Yeah, knocked the wind out of me, 526 00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:44,560 Speaker 1: and I hurt pretty bad. But you know, you gotta 527 00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:46,480 Speaker 1: get up and act like it doesn't hurt. In that situation, 528 00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:50,879 Speaker 1: it's pretty impressive. Caden and Lebanon wants to know what 529 00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:53,080 Speaker 1: is the best way for me as a fan to 530 00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:58,080 Speaker 1: learn what defense the other team is playing. Oh, great question. 531 00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:00,879 Speaker 1: I don't I don't even where to tell me to 532 00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:03,199 Speaker 1: start there. I don't know if there's like outside resources 533 00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:07,320 Speaker 1: or like a football one on one. Generally, if you 534 00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:09,560 Speaker 1: look at the safeties out of that'll give you a 535 00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:12,120 Speaker 1: starting point. You know. If if it's a one higher, 536 00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:15,840 Speaker 1: two high defense, that's always a good starting point. But yeah, 537 00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:18,080 Speaker 1: maybe you guys can if you have any materials you 538 00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:20,000 Speaker 1: can pitch in on that question. I'm not quite sure 539 00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:23,879 Speaker 1: we have somebody. Dave McGinnis on Titan's Radio, the former 540 00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:26,240 Speaker 1: Cardinals head coach who was a coach in the league 541 00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:28,879 Speaker 1: for thirty years. He will be able to help us. 542 00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:31,720 Speaker 1: All right, just a couple more before Ryan has to 543 00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:35,840 Speaker 1: leave us. Alex from Nolansville and having a youngster, I 544 00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:39,359 Speaker 1: think he'll appreciate this. My three year old daughter, Charlotte, 545 00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:43,840 Speaker 1: would like to know who your favorite superhero is. She 546 00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:47,600 Speaker 1: is a big fan. So help Charlotte out here, all right, Charlotte, 547 00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:55,359 Speaker 1: great question. Favorite superhero? Oh honestly, I love the Avengers movie, 548 00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:59,280 Speaker 1: so probably somebody from the Avengers movies. Captain America is 549 00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:00,880 Speaker 1: always a good one. I mean, how can you go Wrong? 550 00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:04,160 Speaker 1: That's my favorite. How can you go wrong? Stand up guy, 551 00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:07,800 Speaker 1: always fighting crime, got a little mean streak in him, 552 00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:10,280 Speaker 1: but it's always for the right reasons. It seems like 553 00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:15,359 Speaker 1: it fits good outfit too. All right, So do you 554 00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:17,159 Speaker 1: have any more, Amy or do you want me to finish? 555 00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:20,280 Speaker 1: H No, I think you should wrap it out, Mike. 556 00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:25,200 Speaker 1: All right, So this one comes from Kingsville, Texas. You know, Kingsville. 557 00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:28,120 Speaker 1: Wait ONWN South? I mean, that's uh if I'm thinking 558 00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:30,200 Speaker 1: of the right spot that's basically on the border between 559 00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:33,160 Speaker 1: Texas and Mexico. Way on South. My son and our 560 00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:36,280 Speaker 1: big time Titans fans, and we love that you're back 561 00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:39,520 Speaker 1: on the team. We are upset that analysts think the 562 00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:43,280 Speaker 1: team will regrets this year. What workouts have you been 563 00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:47,040 Speaker 1: doing to prove these people wrong? I mean, I'm I'm 564 00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:50,919 Speaker 1: grinding every day. You know. It's it's a different situation 565 00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:53,240 Speaker 1: because we're not together, but you know, we're all we're 566 00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:57,080 Speaker 1: all grinding and working separately physically, right, So we're all 567 00:27:57,160 --> 00:28:00,520 Speaker 1: working out, running, conditioning, you know, getting together. I think 568 00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:03,040 Speaker 1: Logan is up in Nashville throwing with some of the guys. 569 00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:05,840 Speaker 1: I'm down here thrown with John Nu. It's a different situation, 570 00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:08,399 Speaker 1: but you know, the grind hasn't stopped. The work hasn't stopped. 571 00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:10,320 Speaker 1: We have to be a little bit more intentional with 572 00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:13,000 Speaker 1: how we do it, but we're still getting ourselves ready 573 00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:16,040 Speaker 1: excited about the opportunities in front of us. The fact 574 00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:19,080 Speaker 1: that you're on the official Titans podcast means that you 575 00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:23,320 Speaker 1: are literally talking to Titans fans around the world, and 576 00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:26,240 Speaker 1: season ticket members were able to join us for this 577 00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:30,920 Speaker 1: program live. When you resigned with the team, the response 578 00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:36,080 Speaker 1: was so overwhelmingly positive. People were so excited. I would 579 00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:40,600 Speaker 1: think that just probably fed into you know, ten months 580 00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:43,320 Speaker 1: of really good things that had happened for you and 581 00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:47,080 Speaker 1: your family. Both personally and professionally with the way you've 582 00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:49,800 Speaker 1: been received and the fifth that this seems to be 583 00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:52,520 Speaker 1: all the way around. Yeah, we were really excited to 584 00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:55,040 Speaker 1: come back. You know. I think I mentioned several times 585 00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:57,280 Speaker 1: as the year kind of wrapped up where I really 586 00:28:57,400 --> 00:29:00,720 Speaker 1: liked the organization, like the love the guys on the team, 587 00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:02,400 Speaker 1: and and really wanted to be back if we could 588 00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:04,600 Speaker 1: work it out.
