Joined us always 3 00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:27,040 Speaker 1: by Amy Wills. Finished signing autographs finally from Saturday's practice. 4 00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:31,720 Speaker 1: Fans are very fun. I really enjoy it when fans 5 00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:36,320 Speaker 1: are around. You should have a sponsorship from Sharpie. I 6 00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:38,120 Speaker 1: think that would be awesome. I think it would be 7 00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:41,720 Speaker 1: awesome too. The great Jim Wyatt from Titans Online dot 8 00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:45,120 Speaker 1: Com is here. Jim Wyatt excited to have the first 9 00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:49,480 Speaker 1: depth chart. We've got a depth chart. It's an unofficial 10 00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:55,000 Speaker 1: depth chart, but if it comes from the team, shouldn't 11 00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:58,400 Speaker 1: it be So it's an unofficial official depth chart? Or 12 00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:02,520 Speaker 1: is it an official unofficial? It's officially the unofficial. Okay, 13 00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:04,440 Speaker 1: that's probably a good way to put it. What jumps 14 00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:08,280 Speaker 1: out about the depth chart Not a lot of surprises 15 00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:10,399 Speaker 1: on here. I mean, you know, the thing that I 16 00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:12,960 Speaker 1: look for is, you know, safety, who's the star? Who 17 00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:15,320 Speaker 1: the starting safeties? Now that Jonathan Sippers out, we've got 18 00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:19,640 Speaker 1: Kendrick Lewis listed on this depth chart, You've got to 19 00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:22,400 Speaker 1: consider Kenny Vaccaro, who was signed over the weekend, is 20 00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:25,280 Speaker 1: the favorite to win that job. But Mike Vrabel said 21 00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:27,960 Speaker 1: after practice on Saturday, I mean, he made it pretty 22 00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:30,080 Speaker 1: clear he's just not gonna be handed the job. So 23 00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:34,880 Speaker 1: that's one that jumps out. Briana Rackpole is listed opposite 24 00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:36,840 Speaker 1: Derek Morgan. I think the hope is that's what it's 25 00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:39,760 Speaker 1: going to be on opening day, But certainly in practices 26 00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:42,760 Speaker 1: we've seen Harold Landry work there with the first team 27 00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:45,760 Speaker 1: opposite Derek Morgan. I think he's really looked good. The 28 00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:50,400 Speaker 1: starting receivers on this depth chart Taywan Taylor and Corey Davis, 29 00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:54,760 Speaker 1: TAIJ Sharp, Michael Campaniro listed behind those guys. The starting 30 00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:57,080 Speaker 1: officsive line is kind of what we would expect Taylor 31 00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:59,680 Speaker 1: of one, Dennis Kelly as the tackles. You hope that 32 00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:02,640 Speaker 1: Jack Conklin's back in there by opening day, and then 33 00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:06,760 Speaker 1: inside Quentin Spain, Josh Klein at guard, Ben Jones at center. 34 00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:11,840 Speaker 1: Everything else is is probably as expected. If people have 35 00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:15,040 Speaker 1: questions about punt return, a kick returning, a returner, or 36 00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:19,880 Speaker 1: Dorry Jackson's listed first day, right now, what will Compton 37 00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:25,480 Speaker 1: inside linebacker alongside Wesley Woodard With Rashaun Evans obviously missing 38 00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:27,440 Speaker 1: a lot of time here in camp, all right, So 39 00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:32,080 Speaker 1: who didn't practice today? Obviously Iraq Poe, Evans, arac Po 40 00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:38,240 Speaker 1: and Evans didn't practice. Also refinched montre Hurst, Corey Davis, 41 00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:43,360 Speaker 1: Benny Logan, Kevin Pampfield didn't practice. Nate Palmer left practice early. 42 00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:47,760 Speaker 1: He got them anybody else all right? By the way, 43 00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:51,360 Speaker 1: on the release, we have all of the information for 44 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:53,800 Speaker 1: the game. It's always exciting to get the first release. 45 00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:58,079 Speaker 1: And as we're recording BOTP the release has just come out. 46 00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:03,120 Speaker 1: The game release prepared so well by the Titans media 47 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:07,520 Speaker 1: relations staff. Always fun, reading without question and excited for 48 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:10,919 Speaker 1: this first preseason game. Always looking for in the preseason? 49 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:16,679 Speaker 1: Who are the officials? First game for Sean Hole as 50 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,960 Speaker 1: a referee. He's been on cruise before, but with his 51 00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:23,360 Speaker 1: dad retiring, he is one of the four referees four 52 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:27,400 Speaker 1: new referees in the NFL this season. Look who's boss ups? 53 00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 1: I'm sure they're great. We all know fantastic, we all 54 00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:35,040 Speaker 1: know Ed's pretty jacked up. Ed. You know, for a 55 00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,400 Speaker 1: man his age, Ed, Ed's got it going on. There's 56 00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:38,960 Speaker 1: no I don't know if i'd want to take them 57 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,440 Speaker 1: one enough. I don't. I don't think so or a 58 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:46,760 Speaker 1: talking contest are explaining contest he could out explain you. 59 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,520 Speaker 1: Amy Wells is just shaking her head at this discusion. 60 00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:54,400 Speaker 1: By the way, also on the cruise the line judge 61 00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:57,920 Speaker 1: Greg Bradley, who was in school at the University of 62 00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:00,760 Speaker 1: Tennessee when you and I were in Okay and he 63 00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:04,119 Speaker 1: was in he was in an engineering major well where 64 00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 1: we weren't in. We were not class, we weren't even 65 00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:10,200 Speaker 1: allowed to walk by that building. But what was interesting 66 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:13,720 Speaker 1: is he's originally from Kentucky and he just started officiating. 67 00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:16,680 Speaker 1: He didn't play ball there. He just started officiating and 68 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,039 Speaker 1: worked his way up to the to the NFL, which 69 00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:21,840 Speaker 1: is what an achievement. If you're an engineering major, you 70 00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:24,640 Speaker 1: can probably pick things up pretty quickly. I would think so. 71 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:28,640 Speaker 1: But how many people who are not former players or 72 00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,680 Speaker 1: former coaches or things like that, and who take a 73 00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:34,840 Speaker 1: serious course load like that, and I believe he's still 74 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:37,480 Speaker 1: an engineer. I mean, that's a lot of work. That 75 00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:40,159 Speaker 1: takes a lot of time too. It takes a long 76 00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:44,919 Speaker 1: time to become an NFL ref in the consistent rotation. 77 00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:47,360 Speaker 1: By the way, when Terry Killins was here last week, 78 00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:49,880 Speaker 1: the former Titans linebacker who was on the field for 79 00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:53,120 Speaker 1: the Music City Miracle. Where is he in the process 80 00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:56,039 Speaker 1: right now in terms of officiating, you know, to be 81 00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:57,760 Speaker 1: honest with I don't know. I talked to him briefly. 82 00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:00,240 Speaker 1: You talk about working his way up through the right thanks, 83 00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:04,520 Speaker 1: and he's doing college most recently. I don't know how 84 00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:07,080 Speaker 1: far he is as far as being on an NFL field. 85 00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:10,440 Speaker 1: So he's on their watch list. I think, Okay, that's 86 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:12,880 Speaker 1: more information than I know. He kind of explained to 87 00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:14,120 Speaker 1: me where he got started. I think this is a 88 00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:17,920 Speaker 1: year maybe eleven for him officiating, and he has gotten 89 00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:20,400 Speaker 1: to the point where he's calling some some big games 90 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:24,400 Speaker 1: at the collegiate ranks, and uh, you know, it looks great. 91 00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:25,680 Speaker 1: I mean, it's a guy who's on the field of 92 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:29,400 Speaker 1: Music City Miracle. Uh, you know, twenty years ago, and 93 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:33,240 Speaker 1: it was funny to see Derek Mason, Brad Hopkins, some 94 00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:36,159 Speaker 1: of these former teammates recognize him out there. He's a 95 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:39,280 Speaker 1: great guy. Uh. My dad actually performed the ceremony and 96 00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:41,479 Speaker 1: we got married to the courthouse. Uh, you know, back 97 00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:43,920 Speaker 1: when he was a player with the Titans. My dad's 98 00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:46,160 Speaker 1: a judge in TAFA. Long time he's looking for a justice. 99 00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:48,240 Speaker 1: The piece my dad happened to be up there that 100 00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:51,520 Speaker 1: day and performed the wedding. Are you allowed to perform 101 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:54,280 Speaker 1: weddings as well? It would not be valid. It would 102 00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:57,920 Speaker 1: not probably if I performed one. And uh, couldn't you 103 00:05:57,960 --> 00:05:59,920 Speaker 1: think a lot of Titans fans would want to be 104 00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:03,039 Speaker 1: married by Jim White? I would let Jim marry me 105 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 1: in a second? Would be's already married? Well? No, not 106 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 1: like that, like perform this Ara, Oh my god, it 107 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:12,400 Speaker 1: would be unofficial. That would definitely be an unofficial wedding 108 00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:15,599 Speaker 1: if able. Mike, can't you do that? You can't. Not 109 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:18,599 Speaker 1: in Tennessee. You can't. You have to be either clergy 110 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:23,560 Speaker 1: or a public official in order and elected or appointed 111 00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,320 Speaker 1: a public official to do that. Well, that's good to know. 112 00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:31,120 Speaker 1: They don't have the the online not in Tennessee. Are 113 00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:34,520 Speaker 1: there other states? Like? Oh gosh, I need to look 114 00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:36,919 Speaker 1: into this. I mean, you could perform a service in 115 00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:41,320 Speaker 1: other states. Yeah. Interesting, that's my understanding. Well, I'm gonna 116 00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:44,840 Speaker 1: sure remember this. Let's move on. Let's uh, let's talk 117 00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:49,240 Speaker 1: about Kenny Vaccaro's first full practice. The twenty seven year 118 00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:52,200 Speaker 1: old who signed as a free agent on August the 119 00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:55,440 Speaker 1: fourth practice today with the Titans. What do we know 120 00:06:55,480 --> 00:07:00,240 Speaker 1: about the safety Kenny Vaccaro, Well, Mike Bible after to 121 00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:02,600 Speaker 1: Saturday's pretty clear that, hey, we're not handing the guy 122 00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:04,760 Speaker 1: at the job, says he's gonna have to work his 123 00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:09,240 Speaker 1: way in when to ask about him gaining chemistry with 124 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:13,760 Speaker 1: Kevin bylong the way, But the first snap with the 125 00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:16,720 Speaker 1: first team defense today and Keney mccarl was lined up 126 00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:18,680 Speaker 1: out there, and I wasn't his show the whole time. 127 00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:21,880 Speaker 1: Dan Crookshank worked in there as well, but I thought 128 00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:23,600 Speaker 1: he looked good. He made a play on the ball, 129 00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:26,480 Speaker 1: almost intercepted a pass from Marcus Marreda near the end zone. 130 00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:28,440 Speaker 1: At one point he said he got yelled at by 131 00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:34,000 Speaker 1: Karry Combs. He dealt with some cramps and tiredness, what 132 00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:36,280 Speaker 1: you would expect from a guy who has not been 133 00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:39,520 Speaker 1: playing football for six months. But he said he's feels 134 00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:43,320 Speaker 1: like he's catching up a call passes from Michael Griffin 135 00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:46,880 Speaker 1: after practice. He's doing everything he can to get up 136 00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:49,960 Speaker 1: to speed as quickly as possible. And Kurry Combs said himself, 137 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:54,760 Speaker 1: we can't wait till October to get chemistry working right 138 00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:56,760 Speaker 1: with these guys. It's got to start quickly, and I 139 00:07:56,800 --> 00:08:00,200 Speaker 1: think it starts as quickly as Thursday nights preest he's 140 00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:01,600 Speaker 1: a game in Green Bay when I expect them to 141 00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:05,200 Speaker 1: be on the field. I agree with all of those things. 142 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:07,520 Speaker 1: It is interesting at that position. We talk so much 143 00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:11,320 Speaker 1: about chemistry, right, and for a guy who comes in 144 00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:14,480 Speaker 1: just in the middle of training camp, I wonder how 145 00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:18,119 Speaker 1: complicated it is to actually get into a spot because 146 00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:20,520 Speaker 1: you have to trust each other so much. I wonder 147 00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:23,680 Speaker 1: how long it's going to take him to establish that 148 00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:28,360 Speaker 1: trust with the other guys in that room. We've seen 149 00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:31,000 Speaker 1: him working with the ones, We've seen him make some plays. 150 00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:34,240 Speaker 1: We know that he can do things, but all of 151 00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:36,480 Speaker 1: the other guys in that room have to trust him. 152 00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:40,200 Speaker 1: It's interesting. It is interesting because that's a position. You 153 00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:43,360 Speaker 1: don't think about that, but that clearly is a spot 154 00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:46,480 Speaker 1: unlike corner, where you're playing on opposite sides of the field, 155 00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:48,840 Speaker 1: the safeties have to work together. That's a that's a 156 00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:52,160 Speaker 1: really good point. Do you want the whole Kenny Vaccaro bio, 157 00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:56,280 Speaker 1: I sure did? Oh you knew I would ask? Okay? So, 158 00:08:56,480 --> 00:09:01,800 Speaker 1: Kenny Vaccaro, drafted fifteenth overall by Orleans in twenty thirteen, 159 00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:05,640 Speaker 1: finished third in the NFL's defensive Rookie of the Year voting, 160 00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:08,679 Speaker 1: but also had two concussions and suffered a broken fibula 161 00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:12,680 Speaker 1: at the end of that rookie season. In fourteen, he 162 00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:17,160 Speaker 1: struggled with temporarily demoted bounced back. Had a good twenty 163 00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:20,160 Speaker 1: fifteen one hundred and four tackles and three sacks at 164 00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:25,280 Speaker 1: work excellent twenty sixteen, going through twelve games sixty seven 165 00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:29,080 Speaker 1: tackles of sack, two forced fumbles, and two interceptions, but 166 00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:31,800 Speaker 1: he was suspended for the final four games of the 167 00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:35,960 Speaker 1: year for violating the NFL's peed standards, as he admitted 168 00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:40,520 Speaker 1: to using Adderall apparently did that. He went to a 169 00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:44,560 Speaker 1: Texas game one weekend, said he was feeling tired, took adderall, 170 00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:48,800 Speaker 1: returned from the weekend and got drug tested. Totally admitted 171 00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:51,480 Speaker 1: to it, owned up to it one hundred percent. As 172 00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:55,400 Speaker 1: far as what happened in twenty seventeen, by all reports, 173 00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:58,480 Speaker 1: he was playing his best football. Suffered a groin injury 174 00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:02,720 Speaker 1: against Tampa Bay November fifth, missed two games, came back, 175 00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:06,960 Speaker 1: was later put on injured reserve after reinjuring the groin 176 00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:10,640 Speaker 1: and needing surgery to repair it. Was also reported he 177 00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:16,720 Speaker 1: had been battling a wrist injury. Eleven games, Vicaro sixty tackles, 178 00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:19,760 Speaker 1: one and a half sacks, three interceptions. So for his 179 00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:24,560 Speaker 1: career sixty eight games starting sixty seven, three hundred eighty 180 00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:30,000 Speaker 1: five tackles, eight interceptions, four forced bumpus, tumultuous. Well, I 181 00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:32,280 Speaker 1: mean this is you wanted the story I did. No, 182 00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:35,440 Speaker 1: I'm glad he was a four star prospect out of 183 00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:40,120 Speaker 1: Early Texas. Sounds like a small town in Texas, doesn't 184 00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:46,199 Speaker 1: Early Texas, And he was a three year starter at Texas. 185 00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:49,840 Speaker 1: Ran four sixty three at the twenty thirteen combine, which 186 00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:53,679 Speaker 1: was not considered good, but did post a four point 187 00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:57,280 Speaker 1: zero six in the twenty yard shuttle. That's not what's 188 00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:02,920 Speaker 1: considered excellent. Yeah, so his straight line speed not considered fabulous, 189 00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:07,199 Speaker 1: but his athleticism at his ability to just flat out 190 00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:10,959 Speaker 1: and move around is considered excellent. We ask somebody who 191 00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:14,000 Speaker 1: would know about the comparison of him to Bob Sanders 192 00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:18,080 Speaker 1: said he thought it was totally fair. Yeah, he comes 193 00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:19,640 Speaker 1: in here as a little box of him. He's played 194 00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:21,800 Speaker 1: five years in the league. I think, you know, I 195 00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:24,400 Speaker 1: think guys respect him from what he was sure able 196 00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:26,920 Speaker 1: to do in his at his college in his college 197 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,240 Speaker 1: days at Texas and certainly in his playing days with 198 00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:31,520 Speaker 1: the Saints. Kyle little Grain is here. I mean, so 199 00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:34,160 Speaker 1: he's not a rookie or a first or second year 200 00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:36,760 Speaker 1: guy coming here. He's been in some games and played 201 00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:39,360 Speaker 1: in some big games, so I think that helps us. 202 00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:41,680 Speaker 1: Still a young receiving Corps mean, obviously, Logan Ryan has 203 00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:43,880 Speaker 1: been in the league for a while. I say receiving 204 00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:46,400 Speaker 1: Corps young secondary. Logan Ryan has been in his league 205 00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:49,240 Speaker 1: for a while. Obviously, Michael Butler has as well. But 206 00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:52,080 Speaker 1: Kevin Bayer just in year three, Deroy Jackson just in 207 00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:56,200 Speaker 1: year two. Dan Crookshanks a young guy. I mean, I 208 00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:59,760 Speaker 1: think he'll be able to help some of these guys 209 00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:02,719 Speaker 1: on a team, and even though he is an outsider 210 00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:05,880 Speaker 1: coming in here. By the way, speaking of Malcolm Butler, 211 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:10,600 Speaker 1: let's congratulate our cohort Amy Wells, who is officially becoming 212 00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:14,720 Speaker 1: part of the Titans radio team this season. I finally arrived. 213 00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:18,040 Speaker 1: Congratulations Amy Wells, Thanks King. She will be part of 214 00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:21,800 Speaker 1: Titans Countdown doing our player interview and the first one 215 00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:25,600 Speaker 1: was actually Malcolm Butler. You have done that interview. They 216 00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:29,520 Speaker 1: surprise people to learn that these are taped Yeah, guys 217 00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:32,400 Speaker 1: don't really want to talk to you immediately before a game. 218 00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:36,640 Speaker 1: They get real cranky. Yeah, forty five minutes for the game, 219 00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:39,839 Speaker 1: they're not really interested in. And the media relations staff 220 00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:42,959 Speaker 1: would love that too. If you ask coaching staff GM, 221 00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:46,719 Speaker 1: they would all love that. Yeah. In all seriousness, how 222 00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:48,600 Speaker 1: did you find Butler when you when you visited with 223 00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:51,080 Speaker 1: him today? You know, Malcolm Butler is such a good guy, 224 00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:53,880 Speaker 1: such an easy guy to talk to, and he's interesting. 225 00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:57,360 Speaker 1: He's got a lot of little quirky things that he says, 226 00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:00,280 Speaker 1: like a play a day, keeps the coach away, things 227 00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:03,080 Speaker 1: like that that I love it. I think it's hysterical. 228 00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:08,360 Speaker 1: But I asked him about how he's able to perform 229 00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:11,079 Speaker 1: at such a high level day after day during camp 230 00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:13,360 Speaker 1: and he said it's really a mindset. He said, he 231 00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:16,120 Speaker 1: wakes up every morning and just says, this is gonna 232 00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:18,320 Speaker 1: be a good day and we're gonna go for it, 233 00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:20,400 Speaker 1: and he's gonna leave it all on the field no 234 00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:23,480 Speaker 1: matter what. And I respect that. You know, sometimes you 235 00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:26,080 Speaker 1: just have to decide that this is how it's going 236 00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:28,120 Speaker 1: to go. You know who is a Malcolm Butler fan o? 237 00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:31,440 Speaker 1: The Great Jim White, Oh, Jim White does like Malcolm Butler. 238 00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:34,480 Speaker 1: Did he use George? Did he say most definitely? A 239 00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:37,920 Speaker 1: couple of times interviewed he did. Okay, that's too so 240 00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:40,960 Speaker 1: happy it You know, it reminds us all of Steve mcnahir. 241 00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:44,800 Speaker 1: That was Steve used the most definitely to answer questions. 242 00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:47,640 Speaker 1: And I've said that many times before. He reminds me 243 00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:49,800 Speaker 1: so much a smack just because of the way he talks. 244 00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:53,200 Speaker 1: He's a Mississippi guy, but he's also just a no nonsense, 245 00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:57,040 Speaker 1: hardcore football player, and uh, it's fun. It's gonna be 246 00:13:57,080 --> 00:14:01,280 Speaker 1: fun to watch him scrapple on Sundays. Good player, good player. 247 00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:03,959 Speaker 1: And it will be interesting to see how they line 248 00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:09,880 Speaker 1: up Thursday night. Do they start off with Butler and 249 00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:13,839 Speaker 1: Jackson as the starting corners and then bring in Ryan 250 00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:18,120 Speaker 1: or do they start Jackson and Ryan and bring in Butler. Again, 251 00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:21,200 Speaker 1: I say, it's like a three guard offense in basketball. 252 00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:24,920 Speaker 1: Those guys are all starters and they're gonna use them 253 00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:28,240 Speaker 1: different ways. But I'm gonna be fascinated to see how 254 00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:30,680 Speaker 1: they do it. Yeah, I mean too, I because they 255 00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:33,280 Speaker 1: will have some flexibility. They're on being going to move 256 00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:36,360 Speaker 1: some guys around. Logan Ryan obviously, He's worked a lot 257 00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:40,280 Speaker 1: in his career in the slot, so uh, he's certainly 258 00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:44,800 Speaker 1: prepared to do that. I'm just ready to see some 259 00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:48,840 Speaker 1: real football, not to what we've been watching in practices 260 00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:50,800 Speaker 1: is not real football, but to see him go against 261 00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:54,600 Speaker 1: another team we don't really know their tendencies quite as well. Uh, 262 00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:58,200 Speaker 1: we don't have a coach uh staying in uh next 263 00:14:58,240 --> 00:14:59,920 Speaker 1: year out there on the practice field kind of bar 264 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,480 Speaker 1: working out what you need to be doing. I mean, 265 00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:04,040 Speaker 1: these guys are gonna be on their own, Mike Vrabel 266 00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:07,240 Speaker 1: said today. I mean they're looking for a clean execution 267 00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:10,960 Speaker 1: of plays. They're looking for players who will rise up 268 00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:14,400 Speaker 1: in the moment and make big catches and tackle when 269 00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:16,920 Speaker 1: you're supposed to and wrap up and not get penalties 270 00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:19,600 Speaker 1: and not jump offsides. And this is where you start 271 00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:21,680 Speaker 1: having some of these ties broken. We've seen so many 272 00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:24,120 Speaker 1: battles in camp where you look at certain physician groups 273 00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:27,160 Speaker 1: and wondering who's going to separate themselves from the pick. 274 00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:29,200 Speaker 1: I think so many of these roster spots have been 275 00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:32,560 Speaker 1: decided at this point, I mean probably forty seven of them. 276 00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:36,040 Speaker 1: I think general manager John Robinson Mike Fabell probably know 277 00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:38,360 Speaker 1: who they're going to be, but there's still some other 278 00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:40,800 Speaker 1: ones that have to be determined, and I think the 279 00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:43,200 Speaker 1: preseason is going to go a long way and determine that. Obviously, 280 00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:45,360 Speaker 1: entries will play a factor as well. You just have 281 00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:47,000 Speaker 1: to keep your fingers cross and to hope you to 282 00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:50,480 Speaker 1: have even more Tie Smiths. No more Jonathan Cyprian. Situations 283 00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:56,000 Speaker 1: come up practice to start with today, not sharp, no, no, 284 00:15:56,520 --> 00:16:00,400 Speaker 1: little clunky and Mike Vrabel got their attention in the 285 00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:03,000 Speaker 1: middle of practice, first time we'd seen him do that. 286 00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:07,440 Speaker 1: Describe if you would, what Coach Vrabel's reaction was to 287 00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:09,880 Speaker 1: the start of practice. Well, it was right after there 288 00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:12,440 Speaker 1: had been some sort of a penalty and offsides or 289 00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:15,840 Speaker 1: something like that. Somebody jumped and he just shut everything down. 290 00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:19,280 Speaker 1: He blew the whistle and said, everybody come in, and 291 00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:21,600 Speaker 1: they had a little come to Jesus. We couldn't hear 292 00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:24,960 Speaker 1: what they were saying, but he got their minds right 293 00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:28,120 Speaker 1: and immediately they went back and ran the play again. 294 00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:31,240 Speaker 1: Let's do it again, and it looked sharper, it looked 295 00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:34,640 Speaker 1: more competitive, It looked like people really dialed in all 296 00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:37,040 Speaker 1: at the same time. And sometimes you just need a 297 00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:41,400 Speaker 1: little little pep talk. The defense was better than the 298 00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:44,560 Speaker 1: offense overall. I agree. I think Matthew Diaz is a 299 00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:47,200 Speaker 1: guy that jumped, that kind of sparked that gathering. And 300 00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:49,840 Speaker 1: it wasn't just him obviously the guy to under Vrabel's nerves. 301 00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:51,560 Speaker 1: I don't. I just don't think he liked the pace 302 00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:54,640 Speaker 1: of things early on. But the defense won. I mean 303 00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:57,920 Speaker 1: they were winning early, they won late. Made some plays 304 00:16:57,920 --> 00:16:59,960 Speaker 1: in the ball. I thought Logan Ryan had a great 305 00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:02,440 Speaker 1: day to day. He had an interception, knocked the ball down. 306 00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:05,920 Speaker 1: Michael Butler made a nice play, Aaron Wallace was around 307 00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:08,760 Speaker 1: the football a lot uh offense just there was a 308 00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:11,520 Speaker 1: little bit out of sync. No Corey Davis, as we 309 00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:14,520 Speaker 1: mentioned earlier today it was it was a receiving core 310 00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:16,880 Speaker 1: of We saw a lot of Twan Taylor, We saw 311 00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:18,960 Speaker 1: a lot of Nick Williams, we saw a lot of 312 00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:23,240 Speaker 1: Taiji Sharp, and we saw a lot of Dearis Jennings. 313 00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:26,440 Speaker 1: The team looks different when Corey Davis is not out there. 314 00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:28,920 Speaker 1: I hope he's back out there sooner rather than later. 315 00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:32,600 Speaker 1: H Deontay Burnette getting a chance to play much receiver today. 316 00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:35,200 Speaker 1: He did. He made a couple of plays himself. He left, 317 00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:37,480 Speaker 1: you know, I don't want to say he was. I 318 00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:40,280 Speaker 1: hate to speculate on his situation, but he made a catch, 319 00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:45,200 Speaker 1: got up, slowly, went to the sideline. His injury situation 320 00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:47,439 Speaker 1: was not addressed after practice. But he was having a 321 00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:49,679 Speaker 1: good He was having some good work before he was 322 00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:52,280 Speaker 1: maybe nicked a little bit late. Mike Keith, do you 323 00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:54,679 Speaker 1: have a bio for Deonte Burnett? I do? Do you 324 00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:57,479 Speaker 1: want to learn about the young man? I love doing this, 325 00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:01,400 Speaker 1: learning time, learning time. I think this is great. He's 326 00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:06,400 Speaker 1: twenty He's not even twenty one until October the fourth Wow, 327 00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:08,919 Speaker 1: of course, signed as an undrafted free agent. This is 328 00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:13,640 Speaker 1: pretty good. He is from Gardenia, California. Where is that 329 00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:19,400 Speaker 1: It's in California, all right? He oly. He originally committed 330 00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:26,000 Speaker 1: to Washington State in twenty fourteen, but then he backed 331 00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:28,800 Speaker 1: off that commitment. It looked like he would go to Michigan. 332 00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:33,760 Speaker 1: At the very last second, he signed with Southern cow As. 333 00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:37,800 Speaker 1: A blue shirt is a shirt. A blue shirt is 334 00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:42,360 Speaker 1: a player that does not take an official visit to 335 00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:46,679 Speaker 1: a school or does not have the coach come into 336 00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:49,359 Speaker 1: their home and make an official visit. Now, you worked 337 00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:52,960 Speaker 1: in the football office at Missouri, so you know sort 338 00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:56,080 Speaker 1: of this is a new thing. The advantage in this 339 00:18:56,880 --> 00:19:00,960 Speaker 1: is if this player does not take an official visit 340 00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:03,679 Speaker 1: and does not have an official visit from the coach, 341 00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:08,119 Speaker 1: then you do not have to count him against the 342 00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:12,400 Speaker 1: twenty five for that particular year. You can count him 343 00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:17,440 Speaker 1: against the twenty five initial scholarship players for the next year. 344 00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:21,840 Speaker 1: So you're you're putting him on a credit card in essets. 345 00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:24,760 Speaker 1: So it's kind of as long as he comes there 346 00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:29,000 Speaker 1: site unseen, I mean, he doesn't take an official visit. 347 00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:32,679 Speaker 1: Now he may have unofficially visited ninety times, right, but 348 00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:36,720 Speaker 1: he's not there on the team's right kind of, then 349 00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:41,159 Speaker 1: he gets they basically credit. Of course, there are twenty 350 00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:45,080 Speaker 1: five scholarships each year, you have eighty five total. He 351 00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:48,720 Speaker 1: comes in and obviously counts against the eighty five, but 352 00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:52,960 Speaker 1: he but he can become the twenty sixth player because 353 00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:54,880 Speaker 1: he but he's going to count. Then the next year 354 00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:58,080 Speaker 1: you're only gonna have twenty four. That's my understanding of 355 00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:01,480 Speaker 1: a blue shirt. There's too many shirt colors in college football. 356 00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:05,520 Speaker 1: Red and gray and blue probably smoke shirts. Also, the 357 00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:07,240 Speaker 1: kind of like the one I'm wearing right now, it's nice, 358 00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:11,520 Speaker 1: really is it's not a visual medium yet, but for 359 00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:14,880 Speaker 1: those who want to know, Jim Wyatt's wearing blue. Well anyway, 360 00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:21,240 Speaker 1: he was actually the number eighty five rated player in California. Wow. 361 00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:23,639 Speaker 1: So he was not a big prospect, but he started 362 00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:25,199 Speaker 1: to come on late. He played a little bit as 363 00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:28,879 Speaker 1: a freshman, and then as a sophomore caught fifty six passes, 364 00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:34,400 Speaker 1: seven touchdowns, and then he exploded last year eighty six catches, 365 00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:39,879 Speaker 1: one fourteen yards, nine touchdowns, passed up the passed up. 366 00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:43,000 Speaker 1: His senior year, went to the combine, could not work 367 00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:46,840 Speaker 1: out due to a torn hamstring, went ahead and ran 368 00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:54,320 Speaker 1: at usc second Pro Day, ran four seven. Maybe maybe 369 00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:58,440 Speaker 1: shouldn't have run. He played great in camp. He's been 370 00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:01,359 Speaker 1: so much better in July in August that he was 371 00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:04,480 Speaker 1: in May or June. I agree, yeah, I agree. And 372 00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:07,240 Speaker 1: during the offseason I noticed Jordan Vc a lot. I 373 00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:10,400 Speaker 1: noticed Devin Ross a lot. This is buying the regular 374 00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:12,680 Speaker 1: group that we mentioned, but uh and I didn't mention 375 00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:16,080 Speaker 1: I didn't notice Deante Burnette a lot. But that's changed 376 00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:18,480 Speaker 1: since he was supposed to be the guy. He was 377 00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:21,800 Speaker 1: one of the bigger name undrafted signees because of the 378 00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:25,480 Speaker 1: year he had last year, and then Devin Ross outperformed him. 379 00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:29,560 Speaker 1: I thought VS certainly outperformed him. By the way, Devin 380 00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:32,280 Speaker 1: Ross has had a good day. He's had a good 381 00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:37,240 Speaker 1: he was good Saturday. Uh. He's made some things happen lately. 382 00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:41,160 Speaker 1: The youngster out of Colorado starting to come on, might 383 00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:42,760 Speaker 1: to dive and catch across the middle of a day, 384 00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:46,520 Speaker 1: may have caught a deep ball. Uh. In practice as well, 385 00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:49,919 Speaker 1: he has had a couple of good days. And again, 386 00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:52,080 Speaker 1: you know, he was what you look for in preseason games. 387 00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:55,720 Speaker 1: You look for players to emerge from that group. Uh. 388 00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:58,359 Speaker 1: If not for the act of roster, for the practice squad, 389 00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:00,440 Speaker 1: which keeps you hanging around and gives you an opportunity 390 00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:03,119 Speaker 1: during the course of the season to potentially get called up. 391 00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:05,480 Speaker 1: Let me ask you this question, and Amy, you jump 392 00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:11,720 Speaker 1: on after Jim says this, If Richard Matthews is not 393 00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:15,520 Speaker 1: activated before Thursday night, and if Corey Davis doesn't go 394 00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:18,040 Speaker 1: and we don't know either one, things may change. And 395 00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:20,320 Speaker 1: as sure as we say this at seven o'clock tonight, 396 00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:23,880 Speaker 1: it'll be announced something different. That's the way it always works. 397 00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:26,120 Speaker 1: But just throwing out the hypothetical that both of those 398 00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:29,879 Speaker 1: guys don't play. Who is the big beneficiary at Green 399 00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:35,320 Speaker 1: Bay from the added opportunity if those top two guys 400 00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:37,679 Speaker 1: can't go, I say, Deari's Jennings. I mean, I mean, 401 00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:40,639 Speaker 1: we know what's happening. We know Taywan Taylor from what 402 00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:42,920 Speaker 1: we've seen here during the offseason. I think Taji Sharp. 403 00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:47,200 Speaker 1: I think we've seen him progress. You see a guy 404 00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:52,040 Speaker 1: like Dere's Jennings flash time and again and practices, and 405 00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:55,119 Speaker 1: now he needs to continue to prove himself in games 406 00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:57,000 Speaker 1: and he's going to get a lot of opportunities. Worked 407 00:22:57,040 --> 00:22:59,440 Speaker 1: a lot with the first team, So I say he's 408 00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:01,639 Speaker 1: the guy that benefits the most. I'll be shocked at 409 00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:04,960 Speaker 1: this point if we saw Richard Matthews on Thursday Night, 410 00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:09,280 Speaker 1: and I'd be surprised unless we see something in Marvel 411 00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:12,760 Speaker 1: Core days if we see him. You know, I don't 412 00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:14,840 Speaker 1: know how that one's going to play out for Thursday Night, 413 00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:17,360 Speaker 1: but the young gods will get more of an opportunity. 414 00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:18,640 Speaker 1: I don't know how much of stars are going to play. 415 00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:21,280 Speaker 1: He didn't give any hints on that either. My original 416 00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:23,840 Speaker 1: thing was yours, Jim. I was gonna say Darius Jennings, 417 00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:25,840 Speaker 1: But now that I think about it, and I sit here. 418 00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:28,960 Speaker 1: I think Taywan Taylor. I think Taywan Taylor has a 419 00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:33,320 Speaker 1: chance to show that he can handle the responsibility, it 420 00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:36,639 Speaker 1: can handle the spotlight. We saw him last year. We 421 00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:39,439 Speaker 1: kind of know what he's capable of. We've seen him 422 00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:42,240 Speaker 1: flashing camp. He's gotten better and better as it's gone on. 423 00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:44,320 Speaker 1: But I think this is a chance for him to 424 00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:47,320 Speaker 1: prove that he can be a top receiver. He can 425 00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:49,320 Speaker 1: be one of the one. That's a great point because 426 00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:54,000 Speaker 1: of the responsibility that goes with it in terms of 427 00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:58,320 Speaker 1: taking care of your business play in play out. We've 428 00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:01,320 Speaker 1: not seen that from him because a year ago he 429 00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:03,760 Speaker 1: was just situational. He made a good play the preseason 430 00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:05,359 Speaker 1: open last year. If I'm not mistaken, I think it's 431 00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:09,760 Speaker 1: the Jets Jets season preseason open seven to three games. Yes, 432 00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:13,040 Speaker 1: made that catchdown field? Uh, I think that was rule 433 00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:14,720 Speaker 1: to catch. That wasn't taking off the board, was it? 434 00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:18,760 Speaker 1: I don't. I just remember how happy everyone was after 435 00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:22,240 Speaker 1: the seven to three game that the season was over. 436 00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:25,520 Speaker 1: And I get it. I mean, it wasn't. It wasn't 437 00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:30,639 Speaker 1: a barn burner. Now seven to three, it was it 438 00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:34,239 Speaker 1: was so boring, Well, who it was? It was a 439 00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:38,600 Speaker 1: little dry. Preseason is tough anyway. Well, I mean preseason 440 00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:44,440 Speaker 1: matters what you're looking for. I was looking for a lifeline. Yeah, 441 00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:46,320 Speaker 1: I think he made the catch. My memory he's coming 442 00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:48,080 Speaker 1: back to me now. I think he made the spectacular 443 00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:50,919 Speaker 1: catch and he got up and finished it off by 444 00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:53,520 Speaker 1: running into the end zone. But I think upon review 445 00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:56,000 Speaker 1: they ruled him down by contact and that's why I 446 00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:58,399 Speaker 1: didn't count. That's a good memory. It was a long 447 00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:03,760 Speaker 1: completion to him. And truthfully, I'm really excited about this 448 00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:07,280 Speaker 1: preseason game because, first of all, we're going to Lambeau. 449 00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:11,960 Speaker 1: So cool. I mean, there's I love. I mean, I'm 450 00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:14,600 Speaker 1: excited anyway. It's a ball game, So I'm excited to 451 00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:17,359 Speaker 1: be going to do a ball game. The second thing 452 00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:24,240 Speaker 1: is I'm very excited to see the second half and 453 00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:28,000 Speaker 1: to see which guys they choose to give the opportunities. 454 00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:29,439 Speaker 1: Because we could sit here and look at it. We 455 00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:33,560 Speaker 1: know what we think based on what we've seen in practice. 456 00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:36,600 Speaker 1: What are the coaches think? What is John Robinson and 457 00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:40,440 Speaker 1: the personnel's staff think, Because they're going to decide who 458 00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:43,800 Speaker 1: gets the extra chances after the first group leaves and 459 00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:47,080 Speaker 1: even after the second group leaves. There will be some 460 00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:51,600 Speaker 1: dudes who don't play, and that's probably not a great 461 00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:55,000 Speaker 1: sign for you, although it's not the end of the world. 462 00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:59,360 Speaker 1: But who gets those chances and then who comes through? Right? 463 00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:03,480 Speaker 1: There will be someone There's every single preseason game, there's 464 00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:05,760 Speaker 1: always someone where you go, wait, who is that? It's 465 00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:08,000 Speaker 1: like it's like a Friday Night. The name that we 466 00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:11,000 Speaker 1: called out Friday Night, which surprised a lot of people, 467 00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:13,760 Speaker 1: was a rookie from Fresno State, number forty nine. Told 468 00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:17,720 Speaker 1: Benna okay, kid, Yeah, everybody's like, who is that? Anthony Ferkser? 469 00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:21,639 Speaker 1: Maybe that guy? Well, Benna, okay, case played well at 470 00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:25,600 Speaker 1: outside linebacker. Ferkser's played well at the tight end spot. 471 00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:30,920 Speaker 1: You've got some guys and are they gonna push, you know, 472 00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:34,639 Speaker 1: to have that chance to be on this roster? I mean, really, 473 00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:39,000 Speaker 1: this is the time where you have to cut about 474 00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:41,200 Speaker 1: half of these guys. You just do. We're at ninety 475 00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:43,280 Speaker 1: right now, we gotta get down to fifty three. And 476 00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:47,560 Speaker 1: where is it realistically at this moment? Well, I mean 477 00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:53,639 Speaker 1: they're probably ten spots are say yeah, I mean what 478 00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:56,640 Speaker 1: they how many? Let me ask it this way, how 479 00:26:56,640 --> 00:26:59,120 Speaker 1: many players do you think they could cut at this 480 00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:02,919 Speaker 1: moment with out any problem, and I'm not asking for specifics. 481 00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:07,280 Speaker 1: I'm just saying numbers twenty easy, twenty. Yeah, you used 482 00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:10,640 Speaker 1: to go to ninety to seventy five, and you used 483 00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:12,560 Speaker 1: to get down to seventy five, right, Yeah it was, 484 00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:14,800 Speaker 1: and then it was easy to probably get down to 485 00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:19,639 Speaker 1: sixty five. So a lot of this time is getting 486 00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:23,359 Speaker 1: stuff on tape. I mean, guys are vying for playing time, 487 00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:25,960 Speaker 1: not only to fight for this team, but just to 488 00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:28,880 Speaker 1: fight for a spot in the NFL. Because so much 489 00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:31,399 Speaker 1: of that is making sure that you have something that 490 00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:34,080 Speaker 1: other teams can see and other teams know who you are. 491 00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:36,439 Speaker 1: I'll give you a couple of examples. Jason Thompson, this 492 00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:39,639 Speaker 1: guy they just signed from Utah. I mean, this is 493 00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:43,359 Speaker 1: an interesting player because he was a quarterback at Wyoming. 494 00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:47,359 Speaker 1: He starts a game as a true freshman in twenty twelve, 495 00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:51,240 Speaker 1: he read shirts in twenty thirteen. He's gonna be their quarterback. 496 00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:55,720 Speaker 1: They change coaches, he doesn't like living in Laramie. He's 497 00:27:55,760 --> 00:28:01,200 Speaker 1: really unhappy. Turns out that he is Matt Aciata's cousin. 498 00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:04,560 Speaker 1: You know, the running back from Minnesota and Detroit, and 499 00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:07,680 Speaker 1: Matt Asiata had played at Utah, his brother had played 500 00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:10,280 Speaker 1: at Utah, and he just decides he's going to be 501 00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:14,160 Speaker 1: a happier guy at Utah. So he goes to Utah. 502 00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:16,640 Speaker 1: He has to sit out the whole year twenty fourteen, 503 00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:20,359 Speaker 1: but he's eligible for the bowl game. So they're playing 504 00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:23,000 Speaker 1: at a bowl game. He comes in, they line him 505 00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:25,280 Speaker 1: up at flanker. They throw a lateral to him. He 506 00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:27,879 Speaker 1: throws a thirty six yard pass and completes it. And 507 00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:30,760 Speaker 1: guess what else he does. He makes three tackles on 508 00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:34,320 Speaker 1: special teams. So they're saying, wow. Well, when he came 509 00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:37,240 Speaker 1: out of the Seattle area, he was into all everything, 510 00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:40,440 Speaker 1: quarterback and defensive back. So they say, we've got a 511 00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:43,480 Speaker 1: quarterback by the name of Travis Wilson. Why don't we 512 00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:48,360 Speaker 1: move you to defensive back. So the majority of what 513 00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:52,480 Speaker 1: he's done has been at Utah has been as a 514 00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:54,880 Speaker 1: special teams player. Well, then he gets in the league 515 00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:57,719 Speaker 1: and he's had some chances and as really shown up 516 00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:01,360 Speaker 1: as a special teams player. Does a guy like that 517 00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:04,719 Speaker 1: make four or five tackles? I mean he's been with 518 00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:08,280 Speaker 1: multiple teams. Lawrence Gibson, the tackle out of Virginia Tech, 519 00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:11,320 Speaker 1: has been with multiple teams. You ask yourself, why would 520 00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:14,960 Speaker 1: these guys keep trying it? Why would they Well, they've 521 00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:19,480 Speaker 1: been unpracticed squads and they're just looking for one break 522 00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:22,520 Speaker 1: and this is where it could come, where it could come. 523 00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:25,920 Speaker 1: But it's all the preseasons also interesting him because you 524 00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:28,640 Speaker 1: do have those guys who will emerge and will get 525 00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:30,680 Speaker 1: the attention of other teams. You're also going to have 526 00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:33,720 Speaker 1: games to play out where you have players who have 527 00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:36,640 Speaker 1: stood out here in trendee camp, and you might want 528 00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:39,560 Speaker 1: to hide him a little bit. It's been done, yeah, 529 00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:42,120 Speaker 1: and you don't necessarily want other teams to see him 530 00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:43,960 Speaker 1: because you want to maybe sneak him through where he 531 00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:47,320 Speaker 1: maybe is released and comes you can bring the guy 532 00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:49,880 Speaker 1: back on the practice squad. You don't want to show everything. 533 00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:52,240 Speaker 1: I mean, this is an interesting preseason for a guy 534 00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:55,800 Speaker 1: like Luke Falk who who's going to get a chance 535 00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:59,160 Speaker 1: to play. The Titans obviously want him to do well. 536 00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:01,160 Speaker 1: I think he's made Gerson Camp. I think he had 537 00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:04,000 Speaker 1: his best practice of training camp maybe Friday night at Centennial. 538 00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:06,800 Speaker 1: I thought he looked really good. But uh, you know, 539 00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:10,000 Speaker 1: I think you know, and again this is John Robinson, 540 00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:13,600 Speaker 1: Mike Vrabel this is the scouts and the coaches talk 541 00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:16,880 Speaker 1: about things like this, but you can't help. But wonder 542 00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:20,800 Speaker 1: if an ideal scenario is Luke Falk is released and 543 00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:22,800 Speaker 1: then brought back into the practice squad because he wouldn't 544 00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:24,200 Speaker 1: count your fifty three and then you'd be able to 545 00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:25,880 Speaker 1: continue to develop him. And if he goes out and 546 00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:28,440 Speaker 1: lights it up in the preseason, then you probably hurt 547 00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:30,800 Speaker 1: your chances of being able to pull a move like that. 548 00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:33,640 Speaker 1: We've seen it happen before around here with players. But 549 00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:36,080 Speaker 1: he's got to play. Yeah, he's got to play, so 550 00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:40,160 Speaker 1: you know, maybe you'll want him to do well, but 551 00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:44,800 Speaker 1: maybe not you light it up. It's a it's an 552 00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:49,360 Speaker 1: interesting situation in a preseason, it is. It's an interesting balance. 553 00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:51,920 Speaker 1: But you're also watching for guys that are going to 554 00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:54,959 Speaker 1: get out there beyond lambeau Field under the bright lights 555 00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:58,680 Speaker 1: and choke well. And that's what you see. You always 556 00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:02,080 Speaker 1: see somebody who's been good in practice get in the 557 00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:05,960 Speaker 1: game and just go fold though, and then you also 558 00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:09,800 Speaker 1: see the opposite. You see some dude who's been pretty 559 00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:12,640 Speaker 1: good in practice or okay in practice, and then all 560 00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:15,680 Speaker 1: of a sudden, you're going, what just happened? Right. I 561 00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:19,160 Speaker 1: mean you said it about Luke Falk. Luke Falk had 562 00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:23,240 Speaker 1: not been as good until he got out there Friday 563 00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:26,120 Speaker 1: night in front of seventy five hundred people at Centennial 564 00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:29,920 Speaker 1: High School. Is that because he's a gamer? I mean 565 00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:33,200 Speaker 1: some people you know that will watch that practice that 566 00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:36,400 Speaker 1: night probably think this guy is contending with Blaine Gabbert 567 00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:38,880 Speaker 1: for the number two. Had not been that good at practice. 568 00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:41,400 Speaker 1: It's not been good, but but some guys do don't 569 00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:44,000 Speaker 1: handle the spotlight. Well, I'll got to test your memory 570 00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:45,760 Speaker 1: here because I can't remember the guy's name with the 571 00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:49,200 Speaker 1: receiver returner from Colorado State that was That was a 572 00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:51,600 Speaker 1: draft pick, probably a seventh round draft pick, probably the 573 00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:55,240 Speaker 1: early two thousands, that dropped a couple of punts in 574 00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:58,680 Speaker 1: the preseason speed gay. Yeah, and he got cut early 575 00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:02,440 Speaker 1: on in camp. I can't pull his name. But those 576 00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:05,680 Speaker 1: are the type of guys that you can either make 577 00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:07,720 Speaker 1: a name for yourself or you can play yourself. I 578 00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:09,840 Speaker 1: think Jeff Fisher got to the point where they just felt, hey, 579 00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:12,000 Speaker 1: we can't trust this guy if we want him to 580 00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:14,040 Speaker 1: be a returner. But if he can't do it now, 581 00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:15,840 Speaker 1: he's not gonna be able to do it. In week 582 00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:18,360 Speaker 1: one when the game's count thanks for throwing out a 583 00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:21,600 Speaker 1: name by absolutely don't I remember the guy watching the 584 00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:25,280 Speaker 1: ball go right through his legs. It was bad. He 585 00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:28,000 Speaker 1: has never stumped. By the end of this OTP, I'm 586 00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:29,600 Speaker 1: gonna be able to pull this. I can walk in 587 00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:32,440 Speaker 1: there and get it right now. I could. I could 588 00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:34,800 Speaker 1: if you if you give me thirty seconds, I could 589 00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:36,280 Speaker 1: run over and get it. What do you want me 590 00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:38,120 Speaker 1: to do for those thirty seconds? Well, can you talk 591 00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:40,360 Speaker 1: to Jim? Yeah we can. We can fill the time 592 00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:44,000 Speaker 1: talking for thirty seconds. But those are the type of guys. 593 00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:46,480 Speaker 1: And I wonder who else might emerge from this group 594 00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:51,440 Speaker 1: that could that could shine on Thursday night. Anybody you're 595 00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:54,440 Speaker 1: looking for in particular, Oh my gosh, Well, there are 596 00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:58,640 Speaker 1: so many that I think. I'm optimistic for Darius Jennings. 597 00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:01,160 Speaker 1: I'm hoping really rises to the occasion. I want him 598 00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:03,480 Speaker 1: to make this team. I want Jordan VC to make 599 00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:07,280 Speaker 1: this team just because of the way that he's built. Man, 600 00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:10,720 Speaker 1: he is rock solid, like a tank. He's looked great. 601 00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:13,200 Speaker 1: He certainly looked great during the course offseason. You know 602 00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:15,200 Speaker 1: a guy like Philip Superna, who if we have not 603 00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:18,960 Speaker 1: seen much of he just got taken off pup last week. 604 00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:21,280 Speaker 1: He obviously is trying to play catch up. I mean, 605 00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:25,880 Speaker 1: I feel like, right now you've got Delaney Walker, You've 606 00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:31,480 Speaker 1: got Luke Stocker behind John U Smith. Can Philip Supernal 607 00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:35,800 Speaker 1: end up pushing Stocker for the number three spot? I mean, 608 00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:39,800 Speaker 1: he's got the experience, he's played here for a couple 609 00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:42,520 Speaker 1: of years, but he's gonna have to build approve it 610 00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:45,320 Speaker 1: in games. Firks or somebody that I'm anxious to see 611 00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:47,880 Speaker 1: how he does in games as well. But there's a 612 00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:51,480 Speaker 1: lot of young guys that will have a chance. Akram 613 00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:55,280 Speaker 1: Wadley is one, Daln Dawkins, a couple of running bikes 614 00:33:55,280 --> 00:33:58,040 Speaker 1: behind the big three. Those guys have a chance to 615 00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:00,800 Speaker 1: shine as well. I'll tell you what. John Smith has 616 00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:07,080 Speaker 1: been sneakily, quietly improving Sardis in a sneaky fashion. Johnny 617 00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:10,200 Speaker 1: Smith has been getting better and better and better throughout 618 00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:13,680 Speaker 1: this training camp. In my mind find myself writing his 619 00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:16,719 Speaker 1: name down more and more and more. And we don't 620 00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:19,040 Speaker 1: talk about him. I think we feel we just talked 621 00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:20,959 Speaker 1: about him the other day. Well, we don't talk about 622 00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:23,160 Speaker 1: him enough, I don't think, because I think that he 623 00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:25,840 Speaker 1: is doing really well. But the other day about how 624 00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:29,280 Speaker 1: Marcus Mariota talked about him on Serious Sex m NFL 625 00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:31,680 Speaker 1: radio said, he kind of lit up. I'm got up. Yeah, 626 00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:35,080 Speaker 1: I love it. I like it when Marcus lights up. 627 00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:37,799 Speaker 1: I think I went in a different direction. I like 628 00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:41,360 Speaker 1: it when Marcus is happy. Okay, let's see the guy's 629 00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:45,399 Speaker 1: name went to Colorado State. He did so you say 630 00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:49,879 Speaker 1: receiver returner. I'm guessing probably class of two thousand, Darren Hall. 631 00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:52,960 Speaker 1: That's it was ninety nine. Wow. He was a safe 632 00:34:53,080 --> 00:34:58,560 Speaker 1: round kick. Wow. Draft. This is pretty good. By the way. 633 00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:01,160 Speaker 1: People in the hall who were too said to tell you, hey, 634 00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:05,240 Speaker 1: there's a tour up here. Oh cool, Hi guy, Ravone Curse. 635 00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:08,920 Speaker 1: He was a hit. John Thornton, he was a hit. 636 00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:13,080 Speaker 1: Defensive tackle. Zach Pillar, he was a hit. Brad Ware 637 00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:17,000 Speaker 1: was not ahead. I think I think brad Ware is 638 00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:20,080 Speaker 1: the only fourth round pick I can ever remember us 639 00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:22,440 Speaker 1: Cutting didn't even make it out of camp. Even make 640 00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:25,760 Speaker 1: it out of camp. WHOA Donald Mitchell? He was ahead. 641 00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:28,399 Speaker 1: He was fortunately had the knee injury. But I love 642 00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:30,560 Speaker 1: Donald Mitchell and he picked me up with the snow 643 00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:34,600 Speaker 1: one time. I can't ever forget that. I gotta tell 644 00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:39,640 Speaker 1: this story before the Titans AFC Championship game in Oakland. 645 00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:43,359 Speaker 1: Remember the snowstorm was that two thousand and three three. 646 00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:45,719 Speaker 1: I was stuck on the interstate for six hours. I 647 00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:49,040 Speaker 1: was stuck uh in a in an area not too 648 00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:51,520 Speaker 1: far from my home. By Carl would make it up 649 00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:53,799 Speaker 1: the hill. I was stranded. My wife couldn't give me 650 00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:56,400 Speaker 1: she can't drive in the snow, had all my luggage 651 00:35:56,440 --> 00:35:58,760 Speaker 1: with me. Who comes down the hill? But Donald Mitchell 652 00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:00,959 Speaker 1: happens to be coming down this same path. He saw 653 00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:03,239 Speaker 1: me on the side of the road. Pick me up, 654 00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:06,000 Speaker 1: got me to practice. I was able to get out 655 00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:08,560 Speaker 1: of town and make it Oakland myself. So I hold 656 00:36:08,840 --> 00:36:12,000 Speaker 1: Donald Mitchell good memories of him for that and also 657 00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:15,439 Speaker 1: for a pick six he had in New Orleans Orleans. Yeah, 658 00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:18,480 Speaker 1: that was a I nearly blew that one because when 659 00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:22,160 Speaker 1: he scored, I said, they put the game away, said, oh, 660 00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:26,840 Speaker 1: this game is over. And that was a huge mistake. 661 00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:29,520 Speaker 1: He got got way too tight at the end of 662 00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:33,680 Speaker 1: that was a true rookie mistake. There were many. Kevin 663 00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:36,400 Speaker 1: Daft was the fifth round pick in ninety nine. He 664 00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:38,200 Speaker 1: was on the roster for a year until he was 665 00:36:38,239 --> 00:36:41,360 Speaker 1: beating out by Billy Volack who was an undraft of 666 00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:45,319 Speaker 1: the next year, Darren Hall, who was the little wide 667 00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:50,880 Speaker 1: receiver from Colorado State, and then Phil Glover, linebacker from Utah. 668 00:36:51,160 --> 00:36:53,880 Speaker 1: That was the ninety nine draft class. So thank you 669 00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:55,880 Speaker 1: for stalling for me while I went to get this 670 00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:59,719 Speaker 1: because I he said, he said early two thousands, and 671 00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:03,759 Speaker 1: that was way back, going way good year ninety nine. 672 00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:07,279 Speaker 1: Is that right? Yeah, it's pretty good for us. Yeah, 673 00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:10,919 Speaker 1: we have a sheriff run here, Dame Darren Hall. Yes, yes, 674 00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:13,239 Speaker 1: but he's the same guy, though he spells it with 675 00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:16,120 Speaker 1: an E. This guy spelled with an A was d 676 00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:20,720 Speaker 1: A r R A N. And I think our Darren 677 00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:23,920 Speaker 1: Hall is d A r R E N sheriff. The 678 00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:29,120 Speaker 1: sheriff could catch punts in a preseason game. As part 679 00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:32,160 Speaker 1: of the twenty year reunion, we say, wee getting Darren 680 00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:37,480 Speaker 1: Hall back out here, but let's get the sheriff the 681 00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:41,160 Speaker 1: same name. O Jim, how long has this gone on? 682 00:37:41,239 --> 00:37:45,839 Speaker 1: Jeff Harding, Yeah, he's deleting that. Okay, I think it's 683 00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:49,719 Speaker 1: about time to quit this. Tomorrow we'll hopefully have some 684 00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:53,640 Speaker 1: more information to previews absolutely the preseason game. It'll be 685 00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:57,000 Speaker 1: our last OTP before the preseason game because Wednesday is 686 00:37:57,040 --> 00:37:59,080 Speaker 1: a travel day. It sure is. We got to get 687 00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:04,560 Speaker 1: up to Wisconsin. Wisconsin's Kurds. What do they call the 688 00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:08,680 Speaker 1: ice cream up there, it's custard custard. They do custard culvers. 689 00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:10,560 Speaker 1: You know, we have a culvert We have culverts here. 690 00:38:11,480 --> 00:38:14,480 Speaker 1: By the way.

That's your name. Was so fantastic. 694 00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:32,040 Speaker 1: Sounds pretty good. I just smiled all the way. I 695 00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:34,160 Speaker 1: bet a Dory Jackson would like it. He would like 696 00:38:34,280 --> 00:38:36,480 Speaker 1: he would love that. That's right. You gotta get him 697 00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:38,279 Speaker 1: a tippo on that. But we don't want to get there. 698 00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:40,879 Speaker 1: We don't want a Dory eating too much custard right now. 699 00:38:40,880 --> 00:38:43,959 Speaker 1: A Dory quiet. If there was anybody that you could 700 00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:47,320 Speaker 1: say who had quietly had the best camp, a Dory 701 00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:50,160 Speaker 1: Jackson would be my choice. It looks a lot thicker, 702 00:38:50,200 --> 00:38:53,080 Speaker 1: he said, he's stronger, says in. This hasn't necessarily put 703 00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:54,880 Speaker 1: in a lot of weight, but it looks a lot sturdy. Well, 704 00:38:54,920 --> 00:38:56,560 Speaker 1: do you think it may be the nutrition that we're 705 00:38:56,560 --> 00:38:59,560 Speaker 1: not just eating reess.

Yeah, Marcus, you know 732 00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:23,440 Speaker 1: he handles himself so well. He's got such great patience. 733 00:40:23,440 --> 00:40:26,840 Speaker 1: I'll tackle questions even if he's hurt him a hundred times. 734 00:40:26,920 --> 00:40:29,160 Speaker 1: But you know he you know, he's been answered the 735 00:40:29,239 --> 00:40:32,920 Speaker 1: Jamie's questions leading up to that draft, you know, after 736 00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:35,880 Speaker 1: the draft, uh, playing him in the first game of 737 00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:38,879 Speaker 1: his NFL career, and now here we are a couple, 738 00:40:38,960 --> 00:40:41,560 Speaker 1: you know, several years later, where these guys are going 739 00:40:41,640 --> 00:40:43,839 Speaker 1: up against each other again. It'll be fun to watch him. 740 00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:48,080 Speaker 1: It'll be it'll be difficult to decide where to spend 741 00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:49,839 Speaker 1: your time. I mean, I always when we have these 742 00:40:49,880 --> 00:40:51,839 Speaker 1: practices and we'll get more to this next week, but 743 00:40:52,200 --> 00:40:54,560 Speaker 1: you always try to position yourself where you can see 744 00:40:54,600 --> 00:40:57,000 Speaker 1: them both at the same time. But it's it's how 745 00:40:57,000 --> 00:41:00,759 Speaker 1: many steps do you get it? At practice? Running group? Yeah, 746 00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:03,000 Speaker 1: I need to get a FITBT and I bet you 747 00:41:03,120 --> 00:41:07,080 Speaker 1: get almost ten thousand steps at practice running between groups. 748 00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:10,799 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, why is every jen it's moving too. He's 749 00:41:10,840 --> 00:41:13,279 Speaker 1: got his seeds, He's got all of his supplies right 750 00:41:13,320 --> 00:41:16,600 Speaker 1: on his purpose. Your seed flavor of choice, barbecue, barbecue, 751 00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:22,000 Speaker 1: I'd go barbecue. He's got his antenna. Pencils on the visor. 752 00:41:22,320 --> 00:41:23,920 Speaker 1: You can tell how busy a day it is by 753 00:41:23,960 --> 00:41:26,319 Speaker 1: how many pencils are in the visor, never knowing you 754 00:41:26,360 --> 00:41:29,319 Speaker 1: may need one. I mean, you always have two. I 755 00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:31,759 Speaker 1: had two on the practice for one day last week. 756 00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:34,960 Speaker 1: And guess whose pen ran out of ink during practice? 757 00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:37,480 Speaker 1: Who's that? John Robinson? So he had to come over 758 00:41:37,520 --> 00:41:39,560 Speaker 1: and borrow a pencil from me that day, and I 759 00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:41,399 Speaker 1: was glad to have a spare to give him. I'd 760 00:41:41,400 --> 00:41:43,319 Speaker 1: hate to have had him come over and ask me 761 00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:46,560 Speaker 1: for a pencil and may tell him no. At that 762 00:41:46,600 --> 00:41:48,360 Speaker 1: point I would have either had to give him my 763 00:41:48,520 --> 00:41:51,480 Speaker 1: pencil or and be without a pencil for the whole practice. 764 00:41:51,520 --> 00:41:53,360 Speaker 1: I'd have to tell him, but he's sorry, But I 765 00:41:53,400 --> 00:41:56,239 Speaker 1: gotta worry. That's why I had two, said you know 766 00:41:56,239 --> 00:41:58,799 Speaker 1: what else to Marge at the diner, could borrow one 767 00:41:58,880 --> 00:42:01,920 Speaker 1: from you too to take your that's exactly right. It 768 00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:05,319 Speaker 1: makes him easy to spot. Now. He did tell me 769 00:42:05,400 --> 00:42:07,640 Speaker 1: after practice, hey, I left that pencil in your desk, 770 00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:09,919 Speaker 1: But and I went back and see, actually know where 771 00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:12,960 Speaker 1: your desk is. I think sometimes he'll stumble in he's 772 00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:14,920 Speaker 1: looking for coffee and say, hey, what the heck are 773 00:42:14,920 --> 00:42:18,400 Speaker 1: you doing in here? He's like, I'm one door passed 774 00:42:18,440 --> 00:42:21,799 Speaker 1: the coffee machine leaving his office. So he's always disappointed, 775 00:42:23,600 --> 00:42:28,160 Speaker 1: disappointed he didn't get coffee. He turns around and heads 776 00:42:28,239 --> 00:42:30,800 Speaker 1: for his black magic. I think that's what he drinks, 777 00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:34,480 Speaker 1: black magic with no sugar cream. And I'm in there 778 00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:38,960 Speaker 1: trying to hide my uh my caramel vanilla cream. And 779 00:42:39,880 --> 00:42:42,799 Speaker 1: we're lesser people with the cream. I don't tell him 780 00:42:42,840 --> 00:42:45,080 Speaker 1: I'm drinking. I take that thing out, pot out and 781 00:42:45,120 --> 00:42:46,959 Speaker 1: throw it away before he gets in there. He sees 782 00:42:47,040 --> 00:42:49,200 Speaker 1: me drinking that. He's one of those guys. My dad's 783 00:42:49,239 --> 00:42:51,200 Speaker 1: like that too, He why do you put stuff in 784 00:42:51,200 --> 00:42:53,080 Speaker 1: your coffee? What do you not? A guy? Come on, 785 00:42:55,280 --> 00:42:57,640 Speaker 1: that's sad. It is kind of sad. Well, yeah, I 786 00:42:57,680 --> 00:43:00,799 Speaker 1: put coconut milk in mine. Yeah, I'd even go there. 787 00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:07,040 Speaker 1: Time to go. It's showtime for Amy Wells and Jim White. 788 00:43:07,080 --> 00:43:09,440 Speaker 1: I'm Mike Keith.
