The OTP always features 0:00:20.079 --> 0:00:24.120 Amy Wells. Hello, Mike, how are you? Oh? I am 0:00:24.280 --> 0:00:27.240 so good better now that we're doing another edition of 0:00:27.280 --> 0:00:31.560 the OTP. Everybody's together because gets who's back? The great 0:00:31.680 --> 0:00:36.479 Jim Watt from Tennessee Titans dot Com. I'm here, I'm 0:00:36.479 --> 0:00:38.360 in a rocket chairs I've been rocking in out of 0:00:38.360 --> 0:00:41.360 the picture here. Don't do that. Stop doing that? Please 0:00:41.680 --> 0:00:45.640 please just continue that. And of course a man who 0:00:45.760 --> 0:00:51.320 is the spokesperson for Farm Bureau Health Plans himself, coach 0:00:51.400 --> 0:00:54.840 Dave Magetnis. How are you hi, guys. It's so good 0:00:54.880 --> 0:00:57.560 to see you. You know what I said earlier, I 0:00:57.600 --> 0:01:00.680 feel like a puppy when every somebody comes in the house. 0:01:00.720 --> 0:01:02.720 I'm so happy to see you guys. You know how 0:01:02.840 --> 0:01:04.680 you how your dog's always so happy to see you, 0:01:04.920 --> 0:01:06.800 Like you've been gone forever and you've been gone for 0:01:06.840 --> 0:01:09.440 ten minutes. I miss you, guys. This is great seeing 0:01:09.480 --> 0:01:12.959 everybody all right. So we are in the hours. We 0:01:13.040 --> 0:01:17.960 are literally down two hours before the NFL Draft on Monday. 0:01:18.080 --> 0:01:22.280 Titans head coach Mike Rabel, Titans general manager John Robinson 0:01:22.480 --> 0:01:27.360 spoke to the media, Jim, what what if anything jumped 0:01:27.400 --> 0:01:29.679 out to you? Well, he had a dog barking through 0:01:29.680 --> 0:01:33.399 the conference calling coach Mike was referring to a little 0:01:33.400 --> 0:01:37.000 bit earlier. He didn't give up too much. Uh, you know, 0:01:37.080 --> 0:01:39.840 he said that, you know, as usual, he's open for 0:01:39.920 --> 0:01:43.200 business as far as the trade goes. You know, potentially 0:01:43.800 --> 0:01:46.200 didn't necessarily bother him if the team had to move 0:01:46.200 --> 0:01:48.200 by the first round, as long as it could get 0:01:48.240 --> 0:01:52.000 more picks. You know. The Clowney question came up, David 0:01:52.000 --> 0:01:54.200 and Clowney obviously has been a top of the conversation 0:01:54.760 --> 0:01:57.000 around the NFL, and the Titans have been linked to 0:01:57.080 --> 0:01:59.480 him since John Robinson expressed an interest in him a 0:01:59.480 --> 0:02:02.559 couple of weeks to go and said what the team 0:02:02.640 --> 0:02:06.200 does in the draft certainly could impact what happens with Clowney. 0:02:06.400 --> 0:02:08.840 They may circle back to him before the draft or 0:02:08.880 --> 0:02:11.160 after the draft, so we'll have to see what happens here. 0:02:11.520 --> 0:02:13.920 But didn't reveal much. I mean, he knows how to 0:02:13.919 --> 0:02:16.880 play this game and talk through some of the issues 0:02:16.960 --> 0:02:19.760 that the team and teams across the league could be 0:02:19.800 --> 0:02:23.040 dealing with. The different draft this year obviously a virtual 0:02:23.120 --> 0:02:26.079 draft opposed to know how we've seen it so many 0:02:26.160 --> 0:02:30.320 years in the past. Amy, what if anything grabbed you 0:02:30.600 --> 0:02:33.800 from the pre draft news conference on Monday, you know, 0:02:33.960 --> 0:02:37.560 John Robinson was kind of walking us through the technology 0:02:37.600 --> 0:02:39.840 aspect and what things are going to be different, and 0:02:39.880 --> 0:02:43.120 I was surprised by the amount of different channels that 0:02:43.160 --> 0:02:44.920 he is going to be a part of and be 0:02:45.040 --> 0:02:48.000 plugged into all at once. He has his scouts on 0:02:48.040 --> 0:02:50.280 a separate channel from some of the people who would 0:02:50.360 --> 0:02:53.120 usually be in that war room, which is a separate 0:02:53.200 --> 0:02:57.480 channel from all the other thirty one general managers. He's 0:02:57.520 --> 0:02:59.280 going to have a lot of moving parts in a 0:02:59.280 --> 0:03:02.040 lot of different screens that he's going to be monitoring. 0:03:02.440 --> 0:03:05.600 So I'm interested to see how all of that unfolds. 0:03:05.720 --> 0:03:08.720 And it was cool for me to be able to 0:03:08.720 --> 0:03:10.680 get a little bit of an insight into what that 0:03:10.800 --> 0:03:14.680 exactly is going to look like come Thursday. Coach Mack, 0:03:14.800 --> 0:03:18.480 as you talk to your friends, colleagues, everybody that you 0:03:18.560 --> 0:03:22.280 know around the league, what are you hearing about the 0:03:22.320 --> 0:03:27.040 technology and the concerns that people have, if any, going 0:03:27.080 --> 0:03:30.440 forward in this process. Well, some are more challenged than others. 0:03:30.520 --> 0:03:33.200 And I think you know, since we've been into this 0:03:33.240 --> 0:03:36.680 situation for a while. Now people are getting more comfortable 0:03:36.720 --> 0:03:39.480 with it. I talked to some people after they're dry running. 0:03:39.520 --> 0:03:42.280 It was a little challenging at first. I think the 0:03:42.400 --> 0:03:44.640 mute button is the big thing that everybody has to 0:03:45.360 --> 0:03:47.760 give you to, you know, when everybody is hooked up. 0:03:47.760 --> 0:03:49.960 I mean, but just learning how to operate it. But 0:03:50.160 --> 0:03:53.920 the overall feeling is is that we're going to be okay, 0:03:53.960 --> 0:03:56.880 We're going to be fine. You know, Amy referenced, you 0:03:56.920 --> 0:03:59.720 know what, John Robinson, how many different areas he's going 0:03:59.760 --> 0:04:03.520 to be hooked up to and hooked into. And I think, look, 0:04:03.560 --> 0:04:05.960 I think all of the IT departments in the National 0:04:05.960 --> 0:04:08.920 Football League are very very accomplished. I mean, in this 0:04:09.000 --> 0:04:11.400 day and age, you hire those people to do that. 0:04:11.640 --> 0:04:13.760 And then plus I mean, you know, John Robinson is 0:04:13.840 --> 0:04:16.760 very very tech savvy. There are some general managers and 0:04:16.839 --> 0:04:20.440 some head coaches that are not as tech savvy, but 0:04:20.560 --> 0:04:22.640 they are going to have some help with it. And 0:04:22.720 --> 0:04:25.960 so to me, the biggest thing I came away with 0:04:26.520 --> 0:04:29.960 is we're interested to see how it works, but we're 0:04:30.000 --> 0:04:33.120 also looking forward to making it work. Not anybody that 0:04:33.200 --> 0:04:37.120 I talked to said we just don't like this at all. Nobody. 0:04:37.120 --> 0:04:39.280 I got that from nobody, which mac Let me stay 0:04:39.279 --> 0:04:41.599 with you for just a second. Jenevian Clowney has not 0:04:41.720 --> 0:04:46.400 signed with anybody at this point, and obviously Titan fans 0:04:46.440 --> 0:04:49.279 are very interested in that because the Titan's name has 0:04:49.320 --> 0:04:53.800 been mentioned with him on multiple occasions. But why has 0:04:53.920 --> 0:04:58.440 nobody signed the big man yet? What is he waiting on? 0:04:58.720 --> 0:05:01.640 And or what our team waiting on? What everybody was 0:05:01.680 --> 0:05:03.960 waiting on early? I mean, we we've said it several 0:05:03.960 --> 0:05:07.159 times and here here's what it is. They're waiting on 0:05:07.440 --> 0:05:10.760 the money, okay, because the money is up there at 0:05:10.760 --> 0:05:13.280 a high, high range. And also you know, they're waiting 0:05:13.360 --> 0:05:16.960 on the physical because nobody's been able to physically get 0:05:17.040 --> 0:05:19.760 their doctors in front of him or him in front 0:05:19.760 --> 0:05:21.680 of the doctors, and so they're not going to make 0:05:21.720 --> 0:05:24.240 that move now. And look the way that we're doing 0:05:24.279 --> 0:05:28.200 things virtually right now anyway, there really is no rush. 0:05:28.279 --> 0:05:31.240 And now with the draft coming up, I would anticipate 0:05:31.320 --> 0:05:34.599 people waiting until after the draft to see what that 0:05:34.720 --> 0:05:38.479 draft you know, has brought in that position, to see 0:05:38.520 --> 0:05:41.240 where they're lining up now after the draft, with the 0:05:41.240 --> 0:05:45.280 positions they're able to accumulate, and then they'll revisit it. 0:05:45.440 --> 0:05:48.200 The same teams that are interested in him now are 0:05:48.279 --> 0:05:52.640 going to be interested in him after the draft. Interesting answering, Jim. 0:05:52.720 --> 0:05:55.280 I want to go to you on this because someone 0:05:55.400 --> 0:05:58.160 brought this point up to me and I didn't know it, 0:05:58.440 --> 0:06:01.159 largely because the Titans have not been in line for 0:06:01.200 --> 0:06:05.000 a compensatory pick in quite some time. But if you 0:06:05.200 --> 0:06:09.640 sign a free agent after the draft, he does not 0:06:10.000 --> 0:06:15.400 count towards the compensatory formula. So whatever you've done, whatever 0:06:15.480 --> 0:06:19.320 you've lost and gained as of the draft, that determines 0:06:19.360 --> 0:06:23.479 your compensatory formula for twenty twenty one. How much of 0:06:23.520 --> 0:06:26.880 it do you think are teams right now saying let's 0:06:26.880 --> 0:06:29.160 wait till after the draft because we want to make 0:06:29.200 --> 0:06:32.000 sure we get as mini picks next year as possible. 0:06:32.160 --> 0:06:35.200 Certainly a factor, and I've heard people speculate that being 0:06:35.920 --> 0:06:38.360 potentially the reason that Titans are waiting, that if you 0:06:38.480 --> 0:06:41.640 wait sign them after the draft, then you're gonna get 0:06:41.680 --> 0:06:44.360 a third round pick for Jack Conslin leaving. I don't 0:06:44.400 --> 0:06:48.160 know that you that teams are necessarily doing it because that, yes, 0:06:48.200 --> 0:06:49.960 it would be an advantagement to play that game. Then 0:06:50.000 --> 0:06:52.760 you're certainly putting yourself in a position to have somebody 0:06:52.760 --> 0:06:55.760 else jump out and get them. So I think you 0:06:55.760 --> 0:06:58.479 you know, you've got a factor in like like coach 0:06:58.560 --> 0:07:03.839 Mike said, as hell, and the questions are around what 0:07:03.880 --> 0:07:06.000 he would do as far as a physical as concerned 0:07:06.440 --> 0:07:08.320 the money part of him. And you mentioned the big 0:07:08.360 --> 0:07:10.000 Man being on the market, Well, the big Man wants 0:07:10.040 --> 0:07:12.520 a big, a big contract as well. And he initially 0:07:12.520 --> 0:07:14.720 said he was going to play for twenty million a year. 0:07:14.840 --> 0:07:17.560 You know he's now said maybe seventeen to eighteen million. 0:07:17.720 --> 0:07:21.160 I'm working on my most recent mailback. Somebody's asking me 0:07:21.200 --> 0:07:23.880 about whether he potentially play for a one year proven 0:07:23.960 --> 0:07:26.720 deal for twelve to fourteen million. That's up to Jadeveon 0:07:26.840 --> 0:07:29.680 Clowney and I don't know whether he's willing to do 0:07:29.720 --> 0:07:32.720 that or not. So you've got a lot of factors 0:07:32.760 --> 0:07:35.280 to have to consider. And I think when you mentioned 0:07:35.320 --> 0:07:37.360 Clowney and some of the things that's around him, and 0:07:37.400 --> 0:07:40.600 there's one other free agents that played for the Titans 0:07:40.680 --> 0:07:43.600 last year, Logan Ryan finds himself in a similar situation 0:07:43.720 --> 0:07:46.960 that you know you money as a factor. Hell, it's 0:07:47.000 --> 0:07:49.160 not necessarily a factor, was Logan. Money's a factor and 0:07:49.920 --> 0:07:53.480 the danger that some of these players will be faced 0:07:53.480 --> 0:07:55.920 with if if the team that's interested in them right 0:07:55.960 --> 0:08:00.600 now decides to pick somebody in that draft and and 0:08:00.680 --> 0:08:03.320 addresses it with multiple picks of that position, you're probably 0:08:03.360 --> 0:08:06.720 going to lose someone who is courting you at the time. 0:08:06.840 --> 0:08:09.720 So a lot of things to factor in in the 0:08:09.800 --> 0:08:12.320 compensatory pick is a good question, certainly a part of 0:08:12.320 --> 0:08:15.679 the equation. Speaking of staying in Amy Wells, you've started 0:08:15.720 --> 0:08:18.680 doing a new feature for the Titans social media channels, 0:08:18.760 --> 0:08:22.880 checking in with Amy Wells, where you've spent time checking 0:08:23.000 --> 0:08:28.840 in with former and current Tennessee Titans players. As you 0:08:28.960 --> 0:08:32.040 have recorded these and as you've talked to these guys 0:08:32.400 --> 0:08:35.319 who are having to stay at home, both former players 0:08:35.360 --> 0:08:38.600 and current players. Is there a common thread that you're 0:08:38.679 --> 0:08:42.400 hearing amongst all of them. Well, it's interesting everybody is 0:08:42.440 --> 0:08:45.600 trying to stay in and just take it one day 0:08:45.600 --> 0:08:49.680 at a time. But with current players specifically, every single 0:08:49.720 --> 0:08:52.520 guy has talked about getting back to the basics in 0:08:52.640 --> 0:08:56.240 terms of keeping their bodies ready for what will happen 0:08:56.320 --> 0:08:59.960 when we eventually are able to return to our training facility. 0:09:00.000 --> 0:09:02.480 Guys are doing a lot of like pushups and sit 0:09:02.559 --> 0:09:05.040 ups and things that a lot of guys have SA 0:09:05.160 --> 0:09:07.200 I haven't done this stuff since high school, you know. 0:09:07.280 --> 0:09:09.760 I talked to Rashaun Evans and he was like, I 0:09:09.800 --> 0:09:13.480 feel like I'm getting ready for the state championship game 0:09:13.520 --> 0:09:16.319 now instead of getting ready for the super Bowl. But 0:09:16.360 --> 0:09:18.560 these are the types of things that they're doing. They're 0:09:18.559 --> 0:09:22.000 really getting back to their roots, I guess when it 0:09:22.000 --> 0:09:25.880 comes to training, And it's been really interesting because we 0:09:26.040 --> 0:09:29.800 know that teams are trying to keep up their kind 0:09:29.800 --> 0:09:34.440 of routine training plans that they have for individual guys, 0:09:34.880 --> 0:09:37.120 but a lot of guys are just ditching the equipment 0:09:37.120 --> 0:09:39.520 and ditching some of the things that they've gotten used 0:09:39.559 --> 0:09:42.959 to as NFL players and are just really going back 0:09:43.000 --> 0:09:46.320 to like rocky style workouts. So that's been cool to 0:09:46.480 --> 0:09:50.199 hear guys really taking it, like back to the garage 0:09:50.320 --> 0:09:53.480 to get their bodies ready for the season. Coach back 0:09:53.840 --> 0:09:57.319 a lot of what is being discussed right now with 0:09:57.360 --> 0:10:01.679 the virtual offseason. I think a quarter of the team 0:10:01.840 --> 0:10:05.000 started this week, the rest will start next week, and 0:10:05.000 --> 0:10:07.439 we'll be able to go three straight weeks. From your 0:10:07.520 --> 0:10:10.840 understanding what you're hearing, what will they be able to 0:10:10.880 --> 0:10:14.640 get done during the virtual offseason that they're going to 0:10:14.720 --> 0:10:17.040 get a chance to start having. You know, I don't 0:10:17.040 --> 0:10:19.320 think you'll have the big team meetings because that's a 0:10:19.360 --> 0:10:22.520 lot of people, you know, to to to put onto 0:10:22.640 --> 0:10:25.360 to one screen at one time. But I think that 0:10:25.400 --> 0:10:28.760 when they break it down to their individual groups, both 0:10:28.800 --> 0:10:32.400 defensively and offensively, and then down to the subsets of 0:10:32.520 --> 0:10:36.080 the of the position rooms, you can get your installation in. Virtually, 0:10:36.320 --> 0:10:38.560 that will be no problem. You can get that in. 0:10:38.679 --> 0:10:41.240 You can get feedback, you know, just like we're getting 0:10:41.280 --> 0:10:44.480 feedback from one another right here. Visually you can do it, 0:10:44.520 --> 0:10:46.600 and so they will be able to they will be 0:10:46.600 --> 0:10:48.640 able to get you know, all of their all of 0:10:48.679 --> 0:10:52.400 their installation in, you know, once they start, once they 0:10:52.440 --> 0:10:55.079 are able to start doing that. I liked what Mike 0:10:55.160 --> 0:10:58.200 Vrabel said he has has told his coaches they've met 0:10:58.240 --> 0:11:01.960 as a coaching staff about keeping it basic to begin with, 0:11:02.360 --> 0:11:05.440 because that's going to be extremely extremely important to get 0:11:05.440 --> 0:11:07.839 everybody back on the same page. You've got to get 0:11:07.880 --> 0:11:10.839 into the football mindset. That's what's the great thing. When 0:11:10.840 --> 0:11:13.360 they all come back together in the facilities like they 0:11:13.440 --> 0:11:16.360 normally do, you know, you leave all of the offseason 0:11:16.480 --> 0:11:19.880 thought process behind you, and then you're back into the 0:11:20.440 --> 0:11:23.920 NFL team concept. Well, now they're going to have to 0:11:23.920 --> 0:11:27.319 translate that team concept virtually, and he wants them to 0:11:27.360 --> 0:11:30.920 get back into that mindset and that mode first, but 0:11:31.240 --> 0:11:33.240 you're going to be able to do it. I spoke 0:11:33.280 --> 0:11:36.520 with a college coach about the way the NC Double 0:11:36.600 --> 0:11:39.040 A is doing it. The NC Double A started out 0:11:39.320 --> 0:11:42.520 just allowing their coaches four hours a day with their players. 0:11:42.840 --> 0:11:46.240 They're upping it to eight hours next week, okay, And 0:11:46.320 --> 0:11:48.960 so clearly you can get something done, and they will 0:11:49.000 --> 0:11:51.600 get something done. The Titans will be very organized. I 0:11:51.679 --> 0:11:54.000 do know that I want to mention right now that 0:11:54.040 --> 0:11:58.160 this is the OTP presented by Farm Bureau Health Plans. 0:11:58.559 --> 0:12:01.720 Healthcare coverage from Bureau Health Plans is like an extra 0:12:01.760 --> 0:12:04.920 set of pads when you need them the most. They've 0:12:04.920 --> 0:12:08.400 been protecting Tennessee and since nineteen forty seven Farm Bureau 0:12:08.600 --> 0:12:11.400 Health Plans. You know, I love the fact that Farm 0:12:11.440 --> 0:12:15.640 Bureau is now sponsoring the OTP. But I absolutely love that. 0:12:15.720 --> 0:12:18.640 That is fabulous. You are the face of Farm Bureau 0:12:18.720 --> 0:12:21.120 Health Plans. How did you get that gig? I'm not 0:12:21.160 --> 0:12:25.360 the face, but I'm a big fan, it's coach back. 0:12:25.400 --> 0:12:27.360 Are you doing yours from the Oval office or from 0:12:27.360 --> 0:12:29.480 maybe a room at the Biltmore Hotel. It's just the 0:12:29.520 --> 0:12:33.520 spare room in a Snashville. That's where I'll invite you. 0:12:33.600 --> 0:12:36.600 I'll invite you to this room sometime. Jim. That's where 0:12:36.640 --> 0:12:41.920 he plays clue with his friends. So and so it's 0:12:41.920 --> 0:12:46.080 a kid pick in Coach Max's fancy room. Looks like 0:12:46.120 --> 0:12:49.120 they filmed the movie Knives Out. Maybe in that room. 0:12:49.160 --> 0:12:53.160 There you go, Jim Wyatt, do you believe? And then 0:12:53.200 --> 0:12:55.920 Amy Wells you get to go next, followed by Coach Mack. 0:12:56.280 --> 0:12:59.880 Do you believe that former Alabama quarterback to tongue of 0:12:59.880 --> 0:13:05.640 Aloa is falling towards Thursday night based on health concerns? 0:13:06.080 --> 0:13:09.880 It's funny this draft, there's so much floating out there, 0:13:09.920 --> 0:13:14.440 just like every draft. I suspect it's true, just because 0:13:15.000 --> 0:13:18.840 of the injury questions that he had coming out of college, 0:13:19.160 --> 0:13:22.040 and then you heard more rumors about some other injuries 0:13:22.080 --> 0:13:25.040 he had that were never disclosed. The teams have not 0:13:25.160 --> 0:13:29.640 had the opportunity to do as much research and get 0:13:29.679 --> 0:13:34.199 as much medical information on him as normal. So I 0:13:34.240 --> 0:13:36.400 believe that that is in fact true. I think he 0:13:36.480 --> 0:13:39.720 is sliding in this draft. I agree. I think that 0:13:40.360 --> 0:13:43.360 not being able to get hands on with some of 0:13:43.360 --> 0:13:45.920 these guys, and especially someone who had such a big 0:13:46.000 --> 0:13:49.240 injury that had so many questions around it, I think 0:13:49.280 --> 0:13:53.160 that teams are going to play it safe. If you 0:13:53.200 --> 0:13:56.000 were hot on him to begin with, you're still hot 0:13:56.040 --> 0:13:59.440 on him. Okay, if you were cold on him right now, 0:13:59.760 --> 0:14:03.480 you're cold on him. Because people knew going in that 0:14:03.600 --> 0:14:07.079 he was injured. I mean, you knew this now. Jim's 0:14:07.080 --> 0:14:09.200 point as far as to not being able, I tell 0:14:09.200 --> 0:14:11.960 you who did get to see him. Every doctor of 0:14:12.080 --> 0:14:15.480 every team saw him at the combine. Every doctor of 0:14:15.640 --> 0:14:19.000 every team saw him at the combine. And if they didn't, 0:14:19.240 --> 0:14:22.280 they have all the combine information. So if you, as 0:14:22.320 --> 0:14:25.520 an organization need a quarterback and you were a too 0:14:25.560 --> 0:14:29.120 A fan going into the twenty twenty draft, you're still 0:14:29.120 --> 0:14:32.120 a too A fan. If you were on the fence, 0:14:32.400 --> 0:14:34.840 you're probably leaning to the other side of the fence 0:14:34.920 --> 0:14:36.920 right now. But I don't think it's a I don't 0:14:36.920 --> 0:14:40.840 think it's a It's a real dramatic fall though. Do 0:14:40.880 --> 0:14:43.680 you think he gets by the Chargers coach mac at 0:14:43.760 --> 0:14:47.640 number six? I think he gets by the Chargers. Wow. 0:14:48.240 --> 0:14:50.760 To me, if there's any movement in this first round, 0:14:51.080 --> 0:14:54.080 this movement is going to be for quarterbacks. The movement 0:14:54.120 --> 0:14:57.080 always is for quarterbacks. You heard John Robinson. He's already 0:14:57.080 --> 0:15:00.680 started talking the drafts I was involved in with clubs, 0:15:00.880 --> 0:15:03.600 you know, before you know I started doing this. I mean, 0:15:03.800 --> 0:15:05.680 you're you've already been on the phone for quite a 0:15:05.680 --> 0:15:09.160 while and you're talking to people, You're texting people saying, hey, 0:15:09.480 --> 0:15:11.480 you know you got time to talk about this? Does 0:15:11.560 --> 0:15:15.480 this interest you? So I think he'll get past them, 0:15:15.520 --> 0:15:17.680 Yes I do. I'm not so sure the Chargers will 0:15:17.720 --> 0:15:20.600 be there. Wow. Well that's strong, all right. So let 0:15:20.680 --> 0:15:23.600 me ask you this, and you start with this, coach, 0:15:24.360 --> 0:15:26.960 Why why in the world are the New York Giants 0:15:27.040 --> 0:15:31.600 talking to Oregon quarterback Justin Herbert. Do you know Dave Getleman. 0:15:32.000 --> 0:15:35.720 I don't. Okay, Look, Dave has been at this a 0:15:35.760 --> 0:15:39.640 long time. And and you talk about guys that are 0:15:39.680 --> 0:15:42.640 old school, that are that are running drafts. He's probably 0:15:42.680 --> 0:15:45.120 as old school as it gets. You used to do 0:15:45.160 --> 0:15:47.640 a lot of this stuff, very very important to do. 0:15:47.840 --> 0:15:51.160 Just exactly for the reason that you asked the question. 0:15:51.400 --> 0:15:55.360 He's got everybody else asking why are they talking to 0:15:55.440 --> 0:15:58.720 him right now? He's got everybody else asking that question, 0:15:59.000 --> 0:16:02.920 not focusing on who they may pick, or he might 0:16:03.000 --> 0:16:06.480 be fishing for somebody to come up to get him, 0:16:06.720 --> 0:16:09.760 thinking if I want Herbert, i'd better move if he's 0:16:09.840 --> 0:16:13.160 truly disinterested in it. All right, Jim White, I got 0:16:13.200 --> 0:16:20.080 one for you. Jacksonville supposedly has Yannique Ingockway, the defensive 0:16:20.160 --> 0:16:24.400 end who signed a franchise contract, and Leonard Fournette on 0:16:24.520 --> 0:16:30.000 the trading block. Do they deal one or both this weekend? 0:16:30.600 --> 0:16:35.000 I think the deal both. Well, there's some bad blood, 0:16:35.160 --> 0:16:39.440 you know, bruin even more within Gockway on Twitter earlier 0:16:39.480 --> 0:16:42.480 this week got into a few little war of words 0:16:42.600 --> 0:16:45.760 with the owner's son which got pretty ugly and got 0:16:45.800 --> 0:16:48.880 pretty personal, and I don't know if you can repair 0:16:48.960 --> 0:16:51.600 that one, to be honest with you. And then the Fournette, 0:16:52.040 --> 0:16:55.680 a buddy of mine, Ryan o' holleran, who now covers 0:16:55.680 --> 0:17:00.760 the Broncos that you know, previously covered the Jaguars, you know, 0:17:01.000 --> 0:17:04.240 made a point over the weekend usually when the Jaguars 0:17:04.240 --> 0:17:08.320 start floating players out there as far as trade bade 0:17:08.920 --> 0:17:11.919 that they're done with them, and the fact that he 0:17:12.080 --> 0:17:15.600 is being mentioned as somebody that they are willing to move, 0:17:16.119 --> 0:17:19.280 tells me that they're moving them. So I say both 0:17:19.320 --> 0:17:22.720 of them are going to be on the move at 0:17:22.760 --> 0:17:25.640 some point before the two twenty season, whether it happens 0:17:25.720 --> 0:17:29.600 during the draft, after the draft, but before the season starts. 0:17:29.600 --> 0:17:31.800 I think I'll be surprised if I see either one 0:17:31.840 --> 0:17:34.640 of them playing against the Tennessee Titans as a Jaguar. 0:17:34.920 --> 0:17:40.000 Just anybody happy to be a Jaguar right now? Doug 0:17:40.040 --> 0:17:44.000 maron how many players have tried to get out of 0:17:44.040 --> 0:17:46.920 there lately? I mean, I'm serious. I mean, you think 0:17:46.920 --> 0:17:49.440 about it. The biggest news you hear out of Jacksonville 0:17:49.560 --> 0:17:52.760 and this whole lost season is who wants to leave? 0:17:54.040 --> 0:17:56.720 That's not good. I say, send them to the NFC. 0:17:56.960 --> 0:18:01.440 Good ridden I mean, they've got two number one picks. 0:18:01.520 --> 0:18:05.680 Jacksonville has nine and twenty. You wouldn't think they could 0:18:05.680 --> 0:18:08.679 get a number one for four NET because running backs 0:18:08.720 --> 0:18:12.000 generally don't go for that kind of market when they're traded. 0:18:12.440 --> 0:18:14.400 But what do you think they could get for fourg NET? 0:18:14.480 --> 0:18:17.040 And what do you think in Gokwai could bring? Well? 0:18:17.080 --> 0:18:18.960 I don't think they'll get a first round pick for 0:18:19.040 --> 0:18:21.840 anybody just because they've already floated it out there that 0:18:22.160 --> 0:18:24.439 they want to move them. And so that tells you 0:18:24.480 --> 0:18:27.240 that you know they're going to be available somehow to 0:18:27.359 --> 0:18:30.640 me during the draft. To Jim Wiatt's point, if somebody 0:18:30.680 --> 0:18:33.480 really needs, you know, somebody to rush the passer badly, 0:18:33.760 --> 0:18:37.119 and they and they're they're out, their pass rush board 0:18:37.200 --> 0:18:39.840 is dry, they may say, okay, we will give you 0:18:40.119 --> 0:18:42.800 to me. If they're traded. They may not be traded 0:18:42.840 --> 0:18:45.600 for this year's draft, they may be traded for futures. 0:18:45.680 --> 0:18:48.200 And so I think there's a possibility that they will 0:18:48.240 --> 0:18:51.679 both be moved during the draft because, especially on the 0:18:51.760 --> 0:18:54.440 second day, second and third days of the draft, you 0:18:55.119 --> 0:18:57.440 as a club kind of have an idea now how 0:18:57.480 --> 0:19:01.320 your your roster is fleshing out. And so if somebody says, look, 0:19:01.320 --> 0:19:03.800 we're really void, here, here's what we can do. Here's 0:19:03.800 --> 0:19:05.720 what we'll give you, Here's what we have left in 0:19:05.760 --> 0:19:08.760 this draft. Here's what we've got possibly left for next year. 0:19:09.040 --> 0:19:11.359 That's what I think will happen. All right, let me 0:19:11.400 --> 0:19:13.760 go back to your here coach for this one. Washington's 0:19:13.800 --> 0:19:17.600 head coach is Ron Rivera. You coach Ron Rivera through 0:19:18.119 --> 0:19:22.600 his entire time in Chicago. You know him. Well, Washington 0:19:22.720 --> 0:19:26.920 does not have a general manager currently. Supposedly they're gonna 0:19:27.000 --> 0:19:31.560 hire one after the draft, So people figure Ron Rivera 0:19:31.800 --> 0:19:35.760 is making the picks this weekend. If that's the case, 0:19:35.960 --> 0:19:39.359 is there any way in the world any chance that 0:19:39.480 --> 0:19:42.399 he does not take Chase Young? I don't think so. 0:19:42.560 --> 0:19:45.320 You know what this reminds me of. This reminds me of, 0:19:45.440 --> 0:19:48.040 and it's it's interesting that we're talking about. You know, 0:19:48.480 --> 0:19:51.240 Ron Rivera and John Fox have got the same type 0:19:51.240 --> 0:19:54.800 of connection with it with this. When John Fox, you know, 0:19:54.960 --> 0:19:57.639 had that job down there in Carolina, he had a 0:19:57.720 --> 0:20:01.280 chance to get Julius Peppers and I off to Foxy 0:20:00.720 --> 0:20:03.920 before before that and he said, you know what, there's 0:20:03.960 --> 0:20:07.200 no way, I don't care what we need. Anybody would 0:20:07.280 --> 0:20:10.000 need this guy. And I think that's exactly what Ron 0:20:10.080 --> 0:20:13.680 Rivera will do. You can never have too many guys 0:20:13.720 --> 0:20:17.639 that have a special ability to put pressure on a quarterback. 0:20:17.960 --> 0:20:20.080 You know, the sacks will come, but just to put 0:20:20.119 --> 0:20:23.720 pressure and make somebody when they're offensively game planning, say look, 0:20:23.920 --> 0:20:26.040 we're gonna have to turn our line this way, or 0:20:26.080 --> 0:20:28.600 we're gonna have to chip this way. Chase Young is 0:20:28.680 --> 0:20:32.120 that dude in this draft? He is that dude. The 0:20:32.119 --> 0:20:35.360 next dude behind him is Chase On but he's not 0:20:35.440 --> 0:20:38.119 what Chase Young is. I think Ron Rivera will stick 0:20:38.240 --> 0:20:41.200 right there and take that player. All right, Jim Wyatt 0:20:41.280 --> 0:20:43.160 back to you here, and we're gonna get all three 0:20:43.160 --> 0:20:46.320 of you to comment on this. You have said, as 0:20:46.560 --> 0:20:50.800 you've gotten questions in your mailbag at Tennessee Titans dot com, 0:20:50.840 --> 0:20:54.959 that you believe the Titans will draft the best player 0:20:55.040 --> 0:20:58.600 available at number twenty nine, And you're not saying regardless 0:20:58.600 --> 0:21:02.439 of position. I know there certain positions they probably wouldn't go, 0:21:02.560 --> 0:21:06.480 but your point is they are not bound to one 0:21:06.680 --> 0:21:10.440 or two spots. Am I interpreting what you're saying correctly 0:21:10.480 --> 0:21:13.600 from what I read? Yeah, I think best player available 0:21:13.600 --> 0:21:16.119 at a position and need. And what I mean there is, 0:21:16.119 --> 0:21:20.040 if let's say a quarterback happens to fall, I don't 0:21:20.040 --> 0:21:21.480 think too a tog of the low is gonna be 0:21:21.480 --> 0:21:24.320 around at twenty nine. But if you had somebody that fell, 0:21:24.680 --> 0:21:26.680 some people might consider them the best player. But I 0:21:26.760 --> 0:21:30.040 can't see the Titans taking a quarterback. So, but what 0:21:30.200 --> 0:21:32.240 you have to consider going in this draft? And I 0:21:32.240 --> 0:21:35.960 think the Titans have so many areas that could be 0:21:36.000 --> 0:21:38.600 addressed that there's a lot on the table. And that 0:21:38.720 --> 0:21:44.120 includes defensive line, that includes cornerback, that includes offensive tackle, 0:21:44.560 --> 0:21:48.040 edge rusher, even a running back. I mean it's as 0:21:48.080 --> 0:21:51.520 crazy as that sounds. If somebody's special is sitting around 0:21:52.680 --> 0:21:55.920 and you move back and could get extra picks, I 0:21:55.960 --> 0:21:58.800 could see the team doing just about anything other than 0:21:58.880 --> 0:22:04.840 taking a quarterback, a kicker, a long snapper, an interior, 0:22:04.880 --> 0:22:07.840 a lineman. Yeah, and into your aligement. I think best 0:22:07.840 --> 0:22:11.120
