5
00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:30,480
Speaker 1: With Amy Wells, I'm Mike Keith. Wrapping up an eventful

6
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:34,800
Speaker 1: week of football, not only at Ascension Saint Thomas Sports

7
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:38,360
Speaker 1: Park where OTAs took place, but also around the NFL

8
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:43,239
Speaker 1: where in Minneapolis the league had its second set of

9
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:48,479
Speaker 1: meetings for twenty twenty three. Some rule changes were approved

10
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:51,080
Speaker 1: and we'll discuss that. We will also let you hear

11
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 1: Amy Wells very insightful interview with Roger McCrary, who told

12
00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 1: you a lot. Yeah, I was really impressed. Talked about

13
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:03,960
Speaker 1: hitting the rookie wall, which surprised you and surprised me.

14
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 1: The diet he's made the move to at this point

15
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 1: where his confidence is what he feels like he needs

16
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 1: to do. As far as a leadership role, the biggest

17
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 1: difference he sees coming into year two, a key player

18
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 1: on this defense. Second year man from Auburn, Roger McCrary,

19
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 1: a corner he will be featured later in this edition

20
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 1: to the OTP with Amy Wells. Very good interview.

21
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 2: No, thanks, Mike. He he's a good guy to talk to,

22
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 2: and he's someone that I hadn't spent a lot of

23
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 2: time with, so I was excited to have the chance

24
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:38,120
Speaker 2: to kind of pick his brain about a couple things.

25
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:41,319
Speaker 2: And You're right, he really gave up more than I

26
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:44,679
Speaker 2: thought he would. You know, he he was, he shared,

27
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:46,399
Speaker 2: he was a good guy to talk to. Yeah, he's

28
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 2: a sharer and I appreciate that.

29
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think people will be very interested to hear

30
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 1: what he has to say. I had a chance this

31
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 1: week to interview Sean Murphy Bunting, the new corner from

32
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay, and what a neat guy he is.

33
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 2: Yes, he's He's got quite the personality. I'm very excited

34
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 2: that he is a part of this ball club.

35
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 1: We are going to use that at a later time.

36
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 1: But one of the leaders of this ball club already

37
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 1: just in his fifth year out of Central Michigan. But

38
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 1: he's the oldest guy in the corner room.

39
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 2: Isn't that crazy?

40
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 1: It is crazy?

41
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:21,640
Speaker 2: Yeah. Every now and then there are these position groups

42
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:24,640
Speaker 2: that you'll stop and look and realize there's not a

43
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 2: lot of old guys over there. There's not a lot

44
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 2: of old guys over there either. It's just it's a

45
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:33,240
Speaker 2: different dynamic because some years, and this is across the NFL.

46
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 2: This isn't tight and specific, but locker rooms, especially in

47
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 2: terms of like ages and experience kind of ebb and flow.

48
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 2: You'll have times where it feels like everybody in a

49
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:47,640
Speaker 2: locker room is in like their sixth year plus somehow,

50
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 2: and you've got a lot of veteran leadership and a

51
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:52,920
Speaker 2: lot of old guys and just a couple infusions of

52
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,920
Speaker 2: youth here and there. And then sometimes it's flipped on

53
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 2: its head per the ebbs and flows of the league,

54
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 2: and you feel like you've got a lot of young

55
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:04,360
Speaker 2: guys and a lot of this just youth and excitement,

56
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 2: and everybody's going a million miles an hour and there's

57
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:09,120
Speaker 2: so many different things going on. The Titans right now

58
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 2: I think have a good mix of both where you

59
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 2: have some veteran guys but they're still kind of on

60
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 2: like the early part of their veteraning, you know, they're

61
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:20,520
Speaker 2: kind of in their their mid part of their career,

62
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 2: which is such a sweet spot because guys still have

63
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:25,960
Speaker 2: so much to give physically, and yet they have the

64
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 2: experience and the knowledge that they've gained over the first

65
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 2: five six years in the league. So I'm really excited

66
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 2: just about the dynamics of this Titans locker room as

67
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 2: we're starting to see more pieces coming together and how

68
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 2: some of these position groups are rounding out. I think

69
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 2: it's a really cool mix.

70
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 1: Well, the secondary thing is interesting because Murphy Bunting is

71
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 1: new and he's working with the ones at corner as

72
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 1: you would expect, and mccrary's you know, he was a

73
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 1: first teamer last year all year, and then a Moni

74
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 1: Hooker is back and so Moni Hooker's working. It's Kevin

75
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 1: Byard is not here, and Mike Vrabel did not make

76
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 1: a big deal of that when ask about it earlier

77
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 1: in the week at a press availability, he said that

78
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 1: he had seen Kevin over the weekend, I think at

79
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:18,600
Speaker 1: the golf course and that it was very friendly and

80
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 1: you know that they were in a good place and

81
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 1: he anticipates seeing him, you know, for mandatory mini camp

82
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 1: and certainly a positive vibe on that. And the thing

83
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 1: about Bayard, you know, Ran Carthon said it in a

84
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 1: press conference the Titans ask him to take a pay cut.

85
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 1: And so with that still hanging out there, you know,

86
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 1: where are they on his terms at this moment. Probably

87
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 1: some things yet to be determined. We don't know the

88
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:54,039
Speaker 1: ins and outs of that, but you know, when you

89
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:56,360
Speaker 1: have that conversation, that's significant.

90
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,599
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, there are business things that are taking place

91
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:02,280
Speaker 2: right now. But we also have to remember a couple

92
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 2: things a OTAs are voluntary. Correct, So he is not

93
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 2: breaking the rules or doing something bad.

94
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 1: He is not. And we know he's working out because

95
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 1: he's Kevin Bider.

96
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 2: He's Kevin Bier. And that's the other part of this.

97
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 2: Kevin Bayer doesn't need the practice. I mean, does he

98
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:20,479
Speaker 2: need to practice and get into football shape and do

99
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 2: all of that.

100
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 1: Absolutely, And he's staying in touch apparently about defensive changes

101
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 1: and right, all of that's been mentioned that he's he's

102
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 1: checking in. He's not just way off away on his

103
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 1: own right.

104
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 2: But Kevin Byard is a pro bowler. He is a

105
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:39,040
Speaker 2: proven player. We know what Kevin Byerd can do. He

106
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 2: understands this scheme. He understands the game of football. Like,

107
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 2: we don't need to worry about what Kevin Byard's doing, right, But.

108
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:52,280
Speaker 1: When the general manager put that out there about what

109
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:55,479
Speaker 1: had happened had been reported, and he confirmed that that

110
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 1: was true. Then there are going to be details to

111
00:05:58,240 --> 00:05:58,920
Speaker 1: be worked out.

112
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:00,839
Speaker 2: There's business, There.

113
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:04,680
Speaker 1: Is going to be business that happens they don't generally

114
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 1: ask and then that just go away. Yeah, so work

115
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:12,920
Speaker 1: to be done way above our pay grade, pardon the pun,

116
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 1: and we'll just have to see where that goes. But

117
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:21,839
Speaker 1: sounded like optimism towards Bayard when he was asked about

118
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:26,800
Speaker 1: Christian Fulton and is Christian Fulton here? Like there are

119
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 1: certain guys that are here right now. Caleb Farley's here,

120
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 1: but he can't get on the practice field yet because

121
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 1: he's still recovering from surgery. There are certain guys that

122
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 1: are limited, there are certain guys that can't really do anything.

123
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 1: But he was asked, is Christian Fulton here, wondering, you know,

124
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 1: have we just not seen him? And the head coach's

125
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:47,159
Speaker 1: response was nope.

126
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:54,840
Speaker 2: Yep, no, it was nope right correct. His answer was nope,

127
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 2: period period.

128
00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, And that tells you Kevin Byard on one hand,

129
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 1: Christian Fulton on the other hand. M if you, if

130
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 1: you speak coach speak, then you understand the fact that

131
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 1: Mike Rabel is willing to go further on the question

132
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 1: of Kevin Byard offer some insight that the head coach

133
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 1: probably has optimism about the player and where things are.

134
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 1: When he offers a one.

135
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 2: Word answer, that's a different dynamic.

136
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 1: It's a different dynamic.

137
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 2: There's a different message being sent there. I wouldn't say

138
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 2: we're fluent in's coach speak, but conversational surely. And that's

139
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 2: sounded a pretty clear message to me about how Mike

140
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 2: Vrabel feels about that. And I'm sure I'm not the

141
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 2: only one that picked up what he was putting down.

142
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 1: Well. The media did, m hmm.

143
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:58,120
Speaker 2: And I bet Christian Fulton probably did well.

144
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 1: And Christian Fulton was one of the guys in the

145
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 1: end of season press conference that he hit about some

146
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 1: of the prep what he considered the preparation injuries or

147
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 1: the conditioning type injuries. He said, you know, Kevin Byard's

148
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 1: never had a hamstring, and David Long who's no longer here,

149
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:20,680
Speaker 1: and Christian Fulton, you know, need to be better about

150
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:24,160
Speaker 1: those sorts of things. So we'll see. Christian Fulton's under contract.

151
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 1: This is his fourth year and he's been a starter

152
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 1: when he's been healthy, he's been a starter, he's been

153
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 1: an effective player. Yeah, but they did bring in Sean

154
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:33,200
Speaker 1: Murphy Bunting.

155
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 2: Who is here?

156
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 1: Who is here? And the guy who we noticed immediately

157
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:42,840
Speaker 1: was getting work at safety with Kevin Byard currently not

158
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 1: here was Elijah Molten.

159
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 2: M hmm, yeah, who. I'm excited for him. From time

160
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:54,199
Speaker 2: to time, you'll hear coach kind of call him out

161
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:58,120
Speaker 2: as being someone who's making improvement, who's showing up in

162
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:01,080
Speaker 2: the locker room, who's showing up in the meeting rooms.

163
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:04,199
Speaker 2: You know, we have heard of Elijah Molden, but he's

164
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:08,559
Speaker 2: obviously he's had some injury things. We've seen some real

165
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:11,840
Speaker 2: flashes from him from time to time, and he's someone

166
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 2: who showed up big in twenty two at times. So

167
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 2: now I'm excited.

168
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:17,960
Speaker 1: Was certainly twenty one.

169
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, certainly twenty one. But he's someone that I'm excited

170
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 2: to see hopefully take that step and if that means

171
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:32,440
Speaker 2: finding his role in a new place, that's great. I'm

172
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 2: excited for him. He's someone I'm watching.

173
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:37,320
Speaker 1: Is there a real chance that he's part of the

174
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 1: five and essentially you start five defensive backs, right, Is

175
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:44,600
Speaker 1: there a real chance that he's part of the five.

176
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 1: I think the answer is yes, absolutely, because how he

177
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 1: played as a rookie in twenty twenty one was pretty

178
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 1: dog gone good. So with Fulton not here and Byerd

179
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:59,680
Speaker 1: currently not here, Shahim Carter, a defensive back, is getting

180
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 1: a chance yep. Josh Thompson, a safety, a second year

181
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:08,080
Speaker 1: safety out of Texas, is certainly getting a chance and

182
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:12,000
Speaker 1: getting more of a look down on corners. That means

183
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:15,320
Speaker 1: Trey Avery is going to get more work. You know,

184
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:18,480
Speaker 1: those opportunities are there. Chris Jackson, who's been a bit

185
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 1: of a wild card. Injuries have really slowed him, but

186
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 1: at different points he has played in his first three

187
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 1: years and had some significant snaps and he can play

188
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 1: multiple positions. So we wait and see, We wait and see.

189
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:35,160
Speaker 2: But what a fun time.

190
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 1: Well, the secondary has taken center stage in a lot

191
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 1: of ways this week because of who wasn't here. So

192
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:47,000

204
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 1: from Amy Wells and defensive back Roger McCrary. Anything you

205
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 1: want to set up as we allow the OT people

206
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 1: to have a listen to this.

207
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 2: Well, Mike, you did a really good job of teasing

208
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:35,120
Speaker 2: it earlier.

209
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 1: Thank you.

210
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 2: But I was excited to be able to talk to

211
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:42,800
Speaker 2: him about a lot of things and was surprised when

212
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:48,000
Speaker 2: he kind of mentioned that towards the mid end of

213
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 2: his rookie year there was a real point where he struggled.

214
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:54,640
Speaker 2: We talk about the rookie wall, which is the time

215
00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 2: of year when a college season would typically be over.

216
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 2: The NFL goes pretty substantially beyond when a college season ends,

217
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:07,560
Speaker 2: so there's a period of adjustment for a lot of

218
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 2: rookies that is referred to as the rookie wall where

219
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 2: their bodies are saying, hey, we're done, the season's over,

220
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 2: and yet they still have to keep going. Not everybody

221
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:23,079
Speaker 2: experiences this. I was surprised to hear that Roger McCrary

222
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:24,400
Speaker 2: really struggled with.

223
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:26,280
Speaker 1: That well, And it's sort of the cruxt of what

224
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 1: goes around this whole conversation, how he dealt with it,

225
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 1: and then how he dealt with it moving forward in

226
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:37,280
Speaker 1: what his mindset is coming into year two. He had

227
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:41,840
Speaker 1: a really nice rookie year. Yeah, played good football, but

228
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:44,560
Speaker 1: it sounds like Roger McCarry feels like he can do better.

229
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:47,560
Speaker 1: As you listen to this insightful interview with Amy Wells

230
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 1: and Roger McCurry on the OT Team.

231
00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 2: Roger, at the end of the season, your rookie season,

232
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 2: the lights are off for that whole thing. How much

233
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 2: self scouting did you do immediately following the twenty twenty

234
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:07,840
Speaker 2: two season.

235
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 3: Right after the season, I didn't watch film at all.

236
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 3: I was kind of like it was kind of like

237
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 3: a relief day. It was kind of like all over.

238
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 3: I just took it all in, like going back on

239
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 3: my rookie season. It was really a lot like I've

240
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:23,200
Speaker 3: been through a lot in my rookord season. I feel

241
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 3: my body, mental, physical, all that. So right out the

242
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 3: season I didn't really get much right into my film,

243
00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:31,359
Speaker 3: So I just got a little off time, just relaxed.

244
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:33,839
Speaker 3: Then later on, like like a couple weeks later, that's

245
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:35,600
Speaker 3: when I finally got into the film, look at like

246
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:37,720
Speaker 3: what I need to work on, and I how can

247
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:40,280
Speaker 3: improve going to the next level, And I've seen a lot.

248
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:43,440
Speaker 3: I just feel like with that it's everything. So I

249
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:45,680
Speaker 3: just got to improved every game and every level in

250
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:47,440
Speaker 3: the position going into the next season.

251
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 2: You had a really intense rookie year. You started seventeen games,

252
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 2: You were a productive player for the entire season, and

253
00:13:56,559 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 2: you never seemed like hit a rookie. Wall had an

254
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:03,240
Speaker 2: adjustment period where you had to figure out what you

255
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 2: were doing. You really just jumped right in from the

256
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 2: very beginning, and it was kind of a baptism by fire.

257
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 2: Did you have to take a minute to catch your

258
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:16,080
Speaker 2: breath almost and really just process everything that had just

259
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:17,800
Speaker 2: happened over the last six months.

260
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:22,320
Speaker 3: Well, it's definitely the Riker Wall. I definitely hear that well,

261
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 3: I definitely hear that good because it hit it hit

262
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:27,320
Speaker 3: me crazy. I told so many of the players, like

263
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:29,680
Speaker 3: that is true, Like the Ricky wall is real. I

264
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:32,480
Speaker 3: did not believe that at all. Really, yes, like I

265
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:34,720
Speaker 3: I was dreamed. But I know that the guys just

266
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:37,400
Speaker 3: surround me, the teammates just having them wrong, just the

267
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 3: leaders and guys who like Cormar every day is training

268
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 3: every day doing vets. That's the only reason why I

269
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 3: pushed every day, because the rick wall was not no joke.

270
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 3: But just after all that and it's six months and everything,

271
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:51,320
Speaker 3: looking back at it, I see that I'm capable of

272
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:53,560
Speaker 3: playing throughout the whole season day. It's really not that

273
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:56,720
Speaker 3: much a big difference. But I just gotta just stay

274
00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 3: focused and I can play through it.

275
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:01,480
Speaker 2: So as an observer, someone who watched you throughout the

276
00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:07,320
Speaker 2: entire season, never noticed any sort of drop off pain

277
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:09,840
Speaker 2: like anything like that. Obviously, I'm sure that you were

278
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 2: hurting a little bit, never notice any difference in your play, though.

279
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:17,640
Speaker 2: How did you mentally get through that that rookie wall.

280
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:20,440
Speaker 3: I say, how mentally got through it? It was really

281
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:22,800
Speaker 3: just like talking to the vets, just asking them, like

282
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 3: what do y'all do when your body get tired?

283
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:24,720
Speaker 1: On?

284
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 3: Like I know you was feeling this way. I talked

285
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:28,360
Speaker 3: the hook I was black. I know you was feeling

286
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:30,160
Speaker 3: like this before. Bro, like tell me what you did,

287
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 3: and he was just telling like stuff that he did.

288
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:35,520
Speaker 3: Just ease, just just working on your body on talk

289
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:38,120
Speaker 3: to my resources KB. He had a lot of resources.

290
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:40,200
Speaker 3: I just hit up through people to work on my

291
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:43,760
Speaker 3: body mental. We had doctor Minu and everybody. So it

292
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:45,960
Speaker 3: was just great because I feel like Tians they brought

293
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:48,840
Speaker 3: the vets with like working on your body, and they

294
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 3: brought it in professional guys to work on me mentally.

295
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:52,280
Speaker 3: So I feel like it was great.

296
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:54,960
Speaker 2: So when you talk about working on your body specifically,

297
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:57,080
Speaker 2: I know that's something that you've done in the off

298
00:15:57,120 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 2: season leading up to the twenty twenty three season. What

299
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:03,680
Speaker 2: specifically have you been looking at when it comes to

300
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:05,960
Speaker 2: working on your body and making sure you're ready to

301
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:07,120
Speaker 2: go for another season.

302
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:09,880
Speaker 3: First, I had to start off with my diet and

303
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:12,440
Speaker 3: me eating more healthy. That was one thing. I had

304
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 3: to let out some food. I know that that just

305
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:16,560
Speaker 3: wasn't good for me cause I can tell like like

306
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:18,880
Speaker 3: I'm not running good, I'm not feeling right, I'm not

307
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:21,160
Speaker 3: feeling good. So I kind of tell the difference in

308
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:24,560
Speaker 3: that and more like like being scratched, more flexible and

309
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:26,840
Speaker 3: stuff like that to work with my body, Hamm screens,

310
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:29,400
Speaker 3: you know. It was just seeing that, like how the

311
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 3: game go to business. Everybody God's getting hurt, so I

312
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 3: know that and the off season, that was another thing

313
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:36,520
Speaker 3: I pay attention to the most, was just working on

314
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 3: my body, just getting my body ready for the next season.

315
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:41,240
Speaker 2: You're talking about your diet. What are some of the

316
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:42,600
Speaker 2: things you had to stop eating?

317
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 3: Baked beans?

318
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:45,320
Speaker 2: Oh, no, you gave 'em up.

319
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:48,600
Speaker 3: That that was Sally Sally, but my I mean baked

320
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:50,880
Speaker 3: mean was one. But like fried food. You know, I'm

321
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:53,520
Speaker 3: from the South, like we we we love our fried

322
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 3: food and everything. It's just stuff like that and like

323
00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 3: more greens and stuff. I'm not good at cooking that

324
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:01,680
Speaker 3: much really, so I gotta find a private shelf stuff

325
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:03,800
Speaker 3: like that, and I use some of the guy resources

326
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:05,920
Speaker 3: who have them type of home shelves and everything. So

327
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:07,919
Speaker 3: that was just great to have them guys in my

328
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:09,640
Speaker 3: back corner task for advice.

329
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:12,960
Speaker 2: During your first season in the league, you witnessed a

330
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,720
Speaker 2: lot of injuries to the team. Was that something that

331
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:18,560
Speaker 2: maybe impacted the way that you wanted to take care

332
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:21,159
Speaker 2: of your body because sometimes young guys it takes a

333
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 2: couple of years before they realize, oh, I really need

334
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 2: to do some things differently. Did maybe seeing that happening

335
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:29,400
Speaker 2: around you impact the way that you wanted to take

336
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:30,960
Speaker 2: care of yourself was definitely.

337
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:33,879
Speaker 3: I'll see guys like KB, He'll be like, yeah, you

338
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 3: got them fresh layer, Ricky. You better be on it

339
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:39,239
Speaker 3: now before like anything happens. So I'm like high on that,

340
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:42,400
Speaker 3: like getting on it before, like for preventing anything from

341
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:44,720
Speaker 3: happening stuff. So I just try to keep beyond the

342
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:47,199
Speaker 3: fast and just try to be on it and just

343
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:48,160
Speaker 3: be great everything.

344
00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:50,440
Speaker 2: Now that you've cut out the fried foods, you've cut

345
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:53,520
Speaker 2: out your beloved big beans. Are you feel Are you

346
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:54,600
Speaker 2: noticing a difference?

347
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:57,119
Speaker 3: Wells Definitely. I don't notice a big difference. It just

348
00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 3: feel great. It's waking up early, you know, I'm not

349
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:02,200
Speaker 3: feeling a little he's a little slouching. Nothing if it's

350
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:04,119
Speaker 3: a big difference. And I try to tell like some

351
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:07,040
Speaker 3: of the rooky guys there now, just like focus on

352
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 3: your body, cause that's the main thing, because if you

353
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:11,360
Speaker 3: not focus on your body and you hurt, you can't

354
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:13,440
Speaker 3: get on the field. So I feel like that's your job.

355
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:15,280
Speaker 3: Your body is your job. You gotta work on that.

356
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:19,480
Speaker 2: Where do you think you're feeling or where do you

357
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:22,520
Speaker 2: think you're noticing a difference in year two in terms

358
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:25,119
Speaker 2: of things you're more comfortable with or more confident in.

359
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:28,440
Speaker 3: Oh, I would say yes, me just just knowing the game,

360
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:31,280
Speaker 3: knowing what's going to be at me, on knowing how

361
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:33,359
Speaker 3: everything's going to come at me. Now it may feel

362
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:35,560
Speaker 3: more confident. Maybe you're more of a vocal leader because

363
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 3: I'm like a quiet god, I don't really say that much.

364
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:40,240
Speaker 3: So I'm kind of like understanding on how everything goes,

365
00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:42,720
Speaker 3: how the system works, like what's coming at me and

366
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:45,359
Speaker 3: what's to prevent and stuff like that. So it's just

367
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:48,280
Speaker 3: good to just have that first rookord season and I

368
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:52,000
Speaker 3: went through like paying atition everything. I'm observing everything, So

369
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:54,800
Speaker 3: I feel great just from observing and learning. That would

370
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:55,600
Speaker 3: be great in this season.

371
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 2: Do you feel like you're able to pick up more

372
00:18:58,080 --> 00:18:59,879
Speaker 2: off the field as well as on the field in

373
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:02,159
Speaker 2: terms of being a leader, Well, it's definitely.

374
00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:04,399
Speaker 3: I say I pick on more off the field than

375
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:06,399
Speaker 3: on a field. I feel like the more off the

376
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:08,520
Speaker 3: field stuff is way important in stuff on the field

377
00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:10,600
Speaker 3: because that stuff you do every day on the field,

378
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:12,919
Speaker 3: like we did our whole life. So I feel like

379
00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:14,679
Speaker 3: a lot of people should pay attention more off the

380
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:17,760
Speaker 3: field because that's what makes you like a leader, Like

381
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:21,120
Speaker 3: more character and stuff like that. Someday can billion bet

382
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:21,639
Speaker 3: as a person.

383
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:22,200
Speaker 2: Cough.

384
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:33,920
Speaker 1: That's Roger McCrary talking with our Amy Wells Hey Titans fans.

385
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:35,600
Speaker 1: It's hard to decide what's the best part of a

386
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:38,200
Speaker 1: Dunkin run. Is it the coffee or the one dollar

387
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 1: classic donut or the two dollars stuffed bagel Mini's or

388
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:43,760
Speaker 1: the three dollars sausage, egg and cheese that you can

389
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:46,560
Speaker 1: add to that coffee, Or is it the fact you

390
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:49,880
Speaker 1: get to leave the office. The answer, of course is yes,

391
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:53,280
Speaker 1: it's time for a Dunkin run. Great deals on food

392
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:55,720
Speaker 1: for one, two or three dollars for the medium or

393
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:58,919
Speaker 1: larger coffee. America runs on Duncan And yes, I do

394
00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:02,680
Speaker 1: get the irony of The answer of course is yes, yes,

395
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:04,719
Speaker 1: because that's a lot of questions.

396
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:06,320
Speaker 2: And right, the answer is yes to all.

397
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:07,240
Speaker 1: Of them, to all of the above.

398
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:09,879
Speaker 2: Yes, I didn't know there was a chance you didn't

399
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:11,960
Speaker 2: get that joke. I know I just want to I

400
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:12,640
Speaker 2: didn't know that.

401
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 1: You don't think I'm reading well. So a lot of

402
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:17,919
Speaker 1: a couple of things I want to hit on this

403
00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:23,040
Speaker 1: edition of the OTP. Past catchers. A lot of talk

404
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:25,120
Speaker 1: about past catchers. Who's going to catch the.

405
00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 2: Ball hopefully a lot of people.

406
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 1: Do the Titans have enough receivers? Yes, so trailing Burke's

407
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 1: everybody is on the trailing Burkes train.

408
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:36,640
Speaker 2: Mm hmm.

409
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:40,920
Speaker 1: They I think they understand that he's pretty serious about

410
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:43,720
Speaker 1: business and he looks awfully good in practice.

411
00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:47,000
Speaker 2: He looks really good in practice. He he is uh

412
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:52,679
Speaker 2: taking his job incredibly seriously in year two and that

413
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:56,719
Speaker 2: is very exciting. And I think that coaches are noticing that.

414
00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:59,200
Speaker 2: The media is of course noticing that. I think fans

415
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:02,240
Speaker 2: are going to be excited about that. I mean we've

416
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:07,200
Speaker 2: talked about it a ton. Yeah, I mean, woo woo,

417
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:09,880
Speaker 2: trailing train. I get it. But like all right, everybody,

418
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:11,359
Speaker 2: there's a lot of people on this team.

419
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:14,480
Speaker 1: His fellow second year receiver Kyle Phillips, got a lot

420
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 1: of attention this week too. You actually see him back.

421
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 1: You actually spent some time with Kyle Phillips as well.

422
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:20,879
Speaker 1: What were your takeaways?

423
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:21,480
Speaker 2: I did.

424
00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:23,840
Speaker 1: He is.

425
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:31,560
Speaker 2: Just how do I phrase it, He's really excited to

426
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:34,359
Speaker 2: be back on the field. And I think having the

427
00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:37,359
Speaker 2: experience of struggling so much with injury and his rookie

428
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:41,600
Speaker 2: year really changed his perspective on why he's doing this.

429
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:45,320
Speaker 2: You know how guys kind of have that moment sometimes

430
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:47,159
Speaker 2: when they're struggling with injury and they want to be

431
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:49,639
Speaker 2: out there and they just can't, and it kind of

432
00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:52,880
Speaker 2: reframes the way that they approach the game because they

433
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:56,320
Speaker 2: realize it can all go away so quickly. I think

434
00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:59,240
Speaker 2: that Kyle Phillips, I mean, we all remember his first

435
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:01,800
Speaker 2: game in the NFL. It was like the highest of

436
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:04,200
Speaker 2: highs and the lowest of lows in a single game.

437
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:06,600
Speaker 1: I don't know that anybody here has ever had a

438
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:10,840
Speaker 1: more eventful first game that I can ever. Carlos Hall

439
00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:14,080
Speaker 1: in two thousand and two came off the bench and

440
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:18,480
Speaker 1: had three sacks when Javon Kurs got hurt against the Eagles,

441
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:21,080
Speaker 1: and that was crazy. He was a seventh round pick.

442
00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 1: But the Kyle Phillips thing was so good and at

443
00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:29,840
Speaker 1: times bad. Yeah, and he got hurt. I mean, he

444
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:31,920
Speaker 1: got hurt two minutes into his NFL.

445
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:36,160
Speaker 2: Career, right and He talks about all of that when

446
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:38,800
Speaker 2: I had a chance to sit down with him and

447
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:43,320
Speaker 2: just the emotional swings of that day and then kind

448
00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:46,679
Speaker 2: of in hindsight knowing how the story ends, which is

449
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:50,320
Speaker 2: ultimately he only plays in what two more games?

450
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:50,560
Speaker 1: Right?

451
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:55,480
Speaker 2: Three more games, and his season's pretty much done before

452
00:22:55,520 --> 00:23:00,600
Speaker 2: it really gets started. Passes and he took that opportunity.

453
00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:02,520
Speaker 2: He said he was in a really bad headspace for

454
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:05,919
Speaker 2: a while. He was really frustrated with why did this

455
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:08,040
Speaker 2: happen to him? He was just getting started. He had

456
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:10,240
Speaker 2: so much more that he felt like he wanted to prove,

457
00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:14,760
Speaker 2: and yet he couldn't. His body said no, and so

458
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:18,320
Speaker 2: kind of reframing why it is that he's doing what

459
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:21,119
Speaker 2: he's doing, and what he loves about this game and

460
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:24,000
Speaker 2: realizing the work that needs to be put in to

461
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:25,639
Speaker 2: have longevity in this league.

462
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:25,879
Speaker 1: It was.

463
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:29,520
Speaker 2: It was a good conversation, and it was interesting to

464
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:32,280
Speaker 2: be able to kind of walk through some of those

465
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:36,680
Speaker 2: moments in that first game and just actually talk to

466
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:39,240
Speaker 2: him about it now that he's had some time to reflect.

467
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:42,280
Speaker 2: It was. It was a good conversation. I'm excited to

468
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:45,200
Speaker 2: share it with people. At some point. Is he noticeably bigger,

469
00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:48,760
Speaker 2: I think so, I mean, I notice it. I don't.

470
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:53,760
Speaker 2: He doesn't look like I mean, he still looks like him.

471
00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:58,720
Speaker 1: Well, and what's interesting, Okay, So take Mason Kinzie. Mason

472
00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:04,119
Speaker 1: Kenzie is five ten eight and when you watch Mason play,

473
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:05,800
Speaker 1: he's thick.

474
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:08,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, he is not sick. Kyle Phillips will never be a.

475
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:11,399
Speaker 1: Well that's the point that I made. Is Kyle's listed

476
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:15,119
Speaker 1: five eleven one point eighty nine. But much like the

477
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:19,600
Speaker 1: concepts about Bryce Young, the Panthers quarterback who was chosen

478
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:24,880
Speaker 1: first overall, even though he's like size to Mason Kinsey,

479
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:30,080
Speaker 1: just comparing two receivers who are listed with almost the

480
00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:35,160
Speaker 1: same measurements, Mason is a much more thicker guy than Phillips's,

481
00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:37,439
Speaker 1: which is why I'm asking you. Did you feel like

482
00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:40,399
Speaker 1: you could tell much of a difference. And you know

483
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:44,200
Speaker 1: I said it on the OTP last year. I think

484
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:47,080
Speaker 1: this guy's an NFL player. I think he is a

485
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:49,960
Speaker 1: really good guy. I think there's a decent chance he

486
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:53,200
Speaker 1: would have led the team in receiving last year because

487
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:55,040
Speaker 1: Tannehill would have thrown it to him a lot, and

488
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:56,800
Speaker 1: Malik would have thrown it to him a lot. And

489
00:24:57,359 --> 00:25:01,400
Speaker 1: but my question was, is he big enough to Kyle.

490
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:04,040
Speaker 2: Phillips will never be a guy that you will refer

491
00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:08,159
Speaker 2: to as thick in any conversation. Ever, what he does

492
00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:12,320
Speaker 2: look to me is more sturdy, okay, if that makes sense.

493
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:17,200
Speaker 2: He looks like someone who his rookie year, he looked

494
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:24,000
Speaker 2: very much like a rookie skateboarder. Now he looks like.

495
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:26,680
Speaker 1: I said, tennis players yeah, or golfers yeah.

496
00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:30,000
Speaker 2: But he's so California. He's got the hair and the thing.

497
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:34,840
Speaker 2: I mean. He looks like like a surfer or a skateboarder, which,

498
00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:38,560
Speaker 2: fun fact, can't surf. He can't, I don't think so.

499
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:41,000
Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure he told me that everyone thinks he's

500
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:44,679
Speaker 2: a surfer, but he cannot surf or doesn't surf. He

501
00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:49,880
Speaker 2: probably could do anything, but he looks he looks more

502
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:53,040
Speaker 2: like a football player now, okay, even the within the

503
00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:54,879
Speaker 2: confines of what his body can actually do.

504
00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:58,359
Speaker 1: We also heard from Chris Moore, the eighth year receiver

505
00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:01,720
Speaker 1: out of Cincinnati who comes from the Texans, and I

506
00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:05,879
Speaker 1: think people are starting to get why he's here, that

507
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:09,720
Speaker 1: he's part of the core, that he can play teams,

508
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:11,959
Speaker 1: that he can do whatever they ask him to do.

509
00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:14,440
Speaker 1: He's played in a lot of systems. He's a very

510
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:18,840
Speaker 1: smart receiver. He's gotten better as a receiver as he's gone.

511
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:21,840
Speaker 1: But I think after he went to the podium, you

512
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:23,960
Speaker 1: could almost since there were some people went, oh.

513
00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:28,240
Speaker 2: Okay, he's a versatility guy. But he's also a culture guy. Right,

514
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:29,200
Speaker 2: he's one of those.

515
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:31,960
Speaker 1: He's a he's a fun guy.

516
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:35,120
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, core guy, foundational guy. Yeah, he's one of those.

517
00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:36,960
Speaker 1: And he can play receiver.

518
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:39,639
Speaker 2: Which is phenomenal, catch the ball, run real fast.

519
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:46,359
Speaker 1: Everybody that I've talked with is really intrigued by Colton Dowell,

520
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:50,960
Speaker 1: the seventh round pick out of U. T. Martin. He's

521
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:52,560
Speaker 1: a he's a bigger guy.

522
00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:53,480
Speaker 2: He is.

523
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:58,320
Speaker 1: He's faster than you think he is. Levis clearly likes

524
00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:01,040
Speaker 1: to throw to him. Yes, when you watch them in

525
00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:06,320
Speaker 1: practice and the second team is sort of in Levis

526
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:08,920
Speaker 1: Is going to get the ball to him.

527
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:09,919
Speaker 2: Well they're roommates.

528
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:11,000
Speaker 1: Well then there's that.

529
00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:14,280
Speaker 2: Yeah. So I mean they have a lot of time

530
00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:17,399
Speaker 2: to talk through these things and you know, choreograph what

531
00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:19,800
Speaker 2: it is they're going to do, right, I mean, they

532
00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:24,440
Speaker 2: have that chemistry that's already getting started because they're spending

533
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:26,240
Speaker 2: a tremendous amount of time together.

534
00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:30,680
Speaker 1: Quick opinion on Levis for Mamie Wells, I Will Levis, I.

535
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:33,560
Speaker 2: Am a fan. I am excited that he's a Tennessee Titan.

536
00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:37,720
Speaker 2: He I really like watching him throw a football. I mean,

537
00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:41,320
Speaker 2: that thing is fast. I mean, he's fun to watch.

538
00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:44,359
Speaker 2: He's a rookie, I mean, and he looks like a rookie,

539
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:46,880
Speaker 2: and he makes some rookie mistakes sometimes. You know that's

540
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:51,000
Speaker 2: what he is. But I think we are seeing what

541
00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:57,000
Speaker 2: scouts and evaluators saw all off season, which is that

542
00:27:57,119 --> 00:27:59,320
Speaker 2: he's a guy who definitely has some traits and he

543
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:03,120
Speaker 2: has some skills, and I'm excited to watch him continue

544
00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:05,920
Speaker 2: to grow and learn. And seeing him working with Ryan

545
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:09,120
Speaker 2: Tannehill's really exciting because, I mean, Ryan Tannehill's doing Ryan

546
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:13,320
Speaker 2: Tannehill things already. You know, he's out there running around

547
00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:17,160
Speaker 2: and just I mean he is just the pros pro forever,

548
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:20,680
Speaker 2: and so having Will Levis be able to learn from

549
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:24,520
Speaker 2: someone like Ryan Tannehill, that's really exciting to me. So

550
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:28,800
Speaker 2: I'm excited to watch him progress even throughout OTA's mandatory

551
00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:31,520
Speaker 2: mini camp all of that time, and then to see

552
00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:33,600
Speaker 2: him come back at training camp and see what kind

553
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:35,800
Speaker 2: of a player he looks like. Then that's exciting too.

554
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:38,720
Speaker 1: I spent some time with him yesterday for a different project,

555
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:42,440
Speaker 1: and I was impressed by his smarts. He's a very

556
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:46,440
Speaker 1: bright guy, and I was impressed by his humility. He's

557
00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:51,520
Speaker 1: a very down to earth guy. I don't know if

558
00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:56,120
Speaker 1: that's his sort of his baseline all the time, or

559
00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:58,560
Speaker 1: if he has come in here and just said, man,

560
00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:02,320
Speaker 1: I need to really really be as humble as possible

561
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:06,600
Speaker 1: starting this journey. But whatever it was, it was impressive

562
00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:09,680
Speaker 1: to me in terms of how he was approaching his work.

563
00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:13,600
Speaker 2: He is. Every interaction that I've had with him, I

564
00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:16,240
Speaker 2: have left impressed by him. Yeah, every single time.

565
00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:19,760
Speaker 1: I would agree. The guy who continues to be so

566
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:23,320
Speaker 1: much fun that if you went to the Senior Bowl

567
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:27,520
Speaker 1: you knew what was coming. But Titans fans and the

568
00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:31,080
Speaker 1: OT people are starting to get the Taja Spears thing. Yes,

569
00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:39,240
Speaker 1: this guy can make it happen in so many different ways.

570
00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:42,440
Speaker 1: He's not the fastest guy in the world, but it's

571
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:46,160
Speaker 1: more about the side to side. It's more about the

572
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:49,880
Speaker 1: first three steps. It's more about being able to catch

573
00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:55,560
Speaker 1: the football. So there's a versatility aspect. He's he's like

574
00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:57,320
Speaker 1: something out of a video game.

575
00:29:57,400 --> 00:29:58,760
Speaker 2: He's shifty.

576
00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:01,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, but it's it's not I mean, it's like a

577
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:06,920
Speaker 1: different there's something different about his game and it.

578
00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:09,520
Speaker 2: Is very like Madden as Yeah.

579
00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:12,600
Speaker 1: And you get that, Okay, Yeah, he's a running back,

580
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:19,440
Speaker 1: but he's kind of more than that. And we'll see

581
00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:21,680
Speaker 1: the different ways they use him. Do they use him

582
00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:23,440
Speaker 1: as a kick returner? Do they use him as a

583
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:26,520
Speaker 1: punt returner? Do they use him in the slot? Does

584
00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:31,240
Speaker 1: he play standard back? But he's he's a funny guy too.

585
00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:33,880
Speaker 2: He is. He's a nice kid. He's a funny dude.

586
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:37,600
Speaker 2: Like he has a really good fun personality that is

587
00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:40,840
Speaker 2: great for us. You know, I always judge people how

588
00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:43,040
Speaker 2: they answer questions and how they laugh at my jokes.

589
00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:47,920
Speaker 2: That's my standard for Titans players. I really like him.

590
00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:52,560
Speaker 2: I'm excited about the versatility and the opportunities that provides

591
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:55,600
Speaker 2: this offense because I mean, when Derek Henry's on the field,

592
00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:57,600
Speaker 2: you know what you're getting out of Derrick Henry. It's

593
00:30:57,640 --> 00:30:59,760
Speaker 2: mean and it's nasty and it's awesome.

594
00:30:59,840 --> 00:31:00,640
Speaker 1: And he looks good.

595
00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:03,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, and he looks really good. I mean he looks

596
00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:06,200
Speaker 2: like Derrick Henry's doing Derrick Henry monster things like that's

597
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:10,200
Speaker 2: just what he does and it's great and it's useful

598
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:14,120
Speaker 2: and it's so exciting to watch and Derrick Henry forever.

599
00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:17,160
Speaker 2: But everybody knows what you're getting when Derrick Henry walks

600
00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:19,040
Speaker 2: on the field, and you just have to brace yourself

601
00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:21,600
Speaker 2: for impact. Like that's the reality of what everybody in

602
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:24,440
Speaker 2: the NFL is dealing with. Is Derick Henry rocks on

603
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:25,040
Speaker 2: the field and they.

604
00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:27,080
Speaker 1: Go, he doesn't need to be a secret.

605
00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:28,880
Speaker 2: No, he walks out and they go, ooh, this is

606
00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:31,080
Speaker 2: gonna hurt and you just have to roll with that

607
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:35,240
Speaker 2: and take it right, which I love. But now there's

608
00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:38,280
Speaker 2: this this little secret weapon in here who can be

609
00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:40,880
Speaker 2: used in so many different ways, right, and you look

610
00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:42,880
Speaker 2: at him and go, what is what is going to

611
00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:45,600
Speaker 2: happen here? Who is this kid? What can he do?

612
00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:49,560
Speaker 2: And it gives Tim Kelly so many options all of

613
00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:49,920
Speaker 2: the sudden.

614
00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:51,840
Speaker 1: Well, he can be on the field with Derrick Henry.

615
00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:54,600
Speaker 1: He can be on the field in a three tight

616
00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:56,880
Speaker 1: end set. He can be on the field in a

617
00:31:56,960 --> 00:32:01,720
Speaker 1: three receiver set because he does have enough physicality to

618
00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:03,960
Speaker 1: run it up inside even though he's not the biggest

619
00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:09,960
Speaker 1: guy he's he's intriguing, and I'm really looking forward to

620
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:12,800
Speaker 1: seeing him play in the preseason when the pads are on,

621
00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:16,960
Speaker 1: because he's been impressive even without the pads. So that's

622
00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:21,800
Speaker 1: been enjoyable to this point. Speaking of kick returns, Yeah,

623
00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:23,240
Speaker 1: new rule in the NFL.

624
00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:25,880
Speaker 2: Oh no here, well no, and.

625
00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:30,640
Speaker 1: That is if you wave for a fair catch inside

626
00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:34,080
Speaker 1: your own twenty five yard line, the ball comes out

627
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:35,280
Speaker 1: to the twenty.

628
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:36,880
Speaker 2: Five yard line, no matter where it's caught.

629
00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:39,760
Speaker 1: So if you're standing at the five yard line and

630
00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:42,920
Speaker 1: they're trying to do one of those I think coach

631
00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:45,680
Speaker 1: Matt calls it a mortar kick where they're trying to

632
00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:48,280
Speaker 1: kick it real short and then cover the kick and

633
00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:50,680
Speaker 1: pen you deep. If you feel the kick at the

634
00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:53,440
Speaker 1: five yard line and you wave for a fair catch,

635
00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:57,000
Speaker 1: the ball's automatically coming out to the twenty five. Otherwise

636
00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:01,160
Speaker 1: the ball would be played in years past, if you've

637
00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:03,000
Speaker 1: wait for a fair catch at the five, you got

638
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:07,160
Speaker 1: the ball to five. So this is the college rule

639
00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:12,040
Speaker 1: coming forward. There's been a tremendous amount of discussion about

640
00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:17,560
Speaker 1: this rule. The commissioner pushed for it, and you and

641
00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:19,840
Speaker 1: I had a pretty heady discussion about it.

642
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:20,400
Speaker 2: We did.

643
00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:26,840
Speaker 1: We both don't like it, but for different reasons. Yeah,

644
00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:30,360
Speaker 1: so I think we should put sixty seconds on the clock, okay,

645
00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:33,880
Speaker 1: and let each one of us make our points. They're

646
00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:37,240
Speaker 1: gonna like your point better. Yes, I'll say that up front.

647
00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:38,880
Speaker 2: So you should go first.

648
00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:40,560
Speaker 1: You should go first.

649
00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:42,640
Speaker 2: No, I want you to go first. I want you

650
00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:43,200
Speaker 2: to go first.

651
00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:44,760
Speaker 1: But you're not going to like how you come off

652
00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:45,640
Speaker 1: if I go first.

653
00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:47,840
Speaker 2: Oh, I think I win if you go first.

654
00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:51,840
Speaker 1: I don't think you do. I think you sound heartless. No, okay,

655
00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:57,440
Speaker 1: say when Ashley go Okay. The reason I'm against this

656
00:33:57,680 --> 00:34:00,640
Speaker 1: is it's another gimmick with the kickoff. I don't like

657
00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:04,720
Speaker 1: gimmicks with the kickoff. I think it's silly. Number two.

658
00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:08,239
Speaker 1: I like the fact that they get that the kickoff

659
00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:11,040
Speaker 1: is a dangerous play. No kidding. I didn't have to

660
00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:12,840
Speaker 1: go to medical school to tell you it was the

661
00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:16,640
Speaker 1: most dangerous play in the game. No kidding. It's the

662
00:34:16,680 --> 00:34:19,919
Speaker 1: cause of most concussions in the game. No kidding. We

663
00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:25,560
Speaker 1: get that, so do away with it. Just like basketball,

664
00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:28,719
Speaker 1: where in every hell ball situation you used to have

665
00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:30,719
Speaker 1: to have a jump ball. Now you have a jump

666
00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:32,120
Speaker 1: ball at the start of the game. And then you

667
00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:35,400
Speaker 1: don't have another one. Have a kickoff to begin the game,

668
00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:38,160
Speaker 1: and then every other time just place the ball on

669
00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:41,440
Speaker 1: the twenty five yard line. If you're committed to helping

670
00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:46,160
Speaker 1: with concussions and you want to take out a gimmick, do.

671
00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:48,880
Speaker 2: That, you were less than your time.

672
00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:52,600
Speaker 1: Because the point is simple. No, I mean the whole thing.

673
00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:54,839
Speaker 1: If you're going to talk to me about concussions, okay,

674
00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:56,960
Speaker 1: I'm stopping. Okay, so it's.

675
00:34:56,840 --> 00:34:58,160
Speaker 2: Amy's turn turn.

676
00:34:58,239 --> 00:35:00,000
Speaker 1: Wait a minute, Ashley's got to get you on the clock,

677
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:02,640
Speaker 1: and you're gonna have to yell time at her.

678
00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:05,239
Speaker 2: You know, no, I can do it.

679
00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:06,000
Speaker 1: You can't do it.

680
00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:06,480
Speaker 2: I can't.

681
00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:07,360
Speaker 1: You'll keep going.

682
00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:11,439
Speaker 2: The whole reason that we have kickoffs is because that's

683
00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:14,320
Speaker 2: the way the game of football is played tradition, Mike Keith.

684
00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:17,399
Speaker 2: What happens in the game of football. You kick off

685
00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:19,799
Speaker 2: the ball and then you play the game. This is

686
00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:22,560
Speaker 2: how the sport is played. No kidding. It's a violent play.

687
00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:25,880
Speaker 2: They're all violent plays, Mike Keith. That's the sport. It's

688
00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:29,840
Speaker 2: a violent sport. We know this. We're doing things to

689
00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:33,399
Speaker 2: mitigate some of the damage that is being caused. There's

690
00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:35,400
Speaker 2: so many different things that they're doing to work on

691
00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:38,680
Speaker 2: concussions and safety and all of that. But you can't

692
00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:41,360
Speaker 2: take out a whole part of the game just because

693
00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:43,880
Speaker 2: you don't like it. That's not exactly how sports works,

694
00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:47,680
Speaker 2: like they're trying. So do I love this rule? No,

695
00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:50,560
Speaker 2: because this is not college. Just as a pros it's

696
00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:52,759
Speaker 2: supposed to be harder, it's supposed to be more complicated,

697
00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:56,640
Speaker 2: there's supposed to be more excitement. But tradition, Mike Keith,

698
00:35:57,000 --> 00:36:01,440
Speaker 2: you can't have football without kickoffs. Can't have it. They

699
00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:06,319
Speaker 2: don't exist. They call it what time is kickoff? What

700
00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:10,640
Speaker 2: time is kickoff? Tradition? I did it.

701
00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:14,239
Speaker 1: That's pretty amazing, and I think I would. And my point,

702
00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:17,279
Speaker 1: it would still be kickoff. You still kick off, you

703
00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:20,840
Speaker 1: still get you begin the game with a kickoff. You

704
00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:23,800
Speaker 1: would begin overtime with a kickoff, just like you began

705
00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:28,120
Speaker 1: overtime in basketball with another tip off. But the other

706
00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:30,520
Speaker 1: thing it would do, too is it would speed up

707
00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:34,240
Speaker 1: the game. And I don't want to watch. I don't

708
00:36:34,239 --> 00:36:38,160
Speaker 1: want to watch guys kick it into the end zone.

709
00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:41,279
Speaker 1: I don't want to watch touchbacks, and I don't want

710
00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:45,400
Speaker 1: to watch guys fair catching kickoffs. That's not football. Football

711
00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:47,759
Speaker 1: is when you had the kickoff. But the evolution of

712
00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:49,839
Speaker 1: the game. You know, we also didn't used to play

713
00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:53,759
Speaker 1: the game with face masks or helmets, and we used

714
00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:56,399
Speaker 1: to play the game. We used to play the game

715
00:36:56,560 --> 00:36:59,279
Speaker 1: with a ball that you could not throw because it

716
00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:03,480
Speaker 1: was rounder. The game evolves, Yeah, but you're.

717
00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:06,080
Speaker 2: Wanting to take out a huge facet of the game.

718
00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:09,560
Speaker 1: Teddy Roosevelt nearly cut out football because guys were dying.

719
00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:13,040
Speaker 2: Mike, do you realize that your your whole argument for

720
00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:14,640
Speaker 2: this is Teddy Roosevelt.

721
00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:18,960
Speaker 1: No, it's my argument is the game evolves if they

722
00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:25,479
Speaker 1: know that the kickoff play is where the most concussions happen.

723
00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:30,160
Speaker 1: And again, genius, guys, so smart. You got ten guys

724
00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:32,319
Speaker 1: running at each other as fast as they can and

725
00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:36,040
Speaker 1: oh boy, that's how the concussion happens. Thanks for that. Whoo,

726
00:37:36,160 --> 00:37:38,920
Speaker 1: we had no idea. I love it when they say

727
00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:42,960
Speaker 1: we had a giant study. That's my favorite. We had

728
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:45,719
Speaker 1: a giant study. Did you need who needed to jump?

729
00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:47,600
Speaker 1: What did they pay for this giant study?

730
00:37:47,719 --> 00:37:48,800
Speaker 2: Ten dollars?

731
00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:52,359
Speaker 1: But now whatever they spend on the giant study. Yeah,

732
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:54,240
Speaker 1: I mean it's it's.

733
00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:58,480
Speaker 2: Violent, yeah, but like so is football. But I understand

734
00:37:58,520 --> 00:38:00,840
Speaker 2: that you're just taking out part of the game, but

735
00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:02,799
Speaker 2: we don't enjoy watching well, I.

736
00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:07,839
Speaker 1: Mean, crackback blocks are gone, wedges are gone. Hitting dirty well, no,

737
00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:11,480
Speaker 1: but hitting guys over the middle when they're not looking dirty,

738
00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:14,239
Speaker 1: hitting the quarterback like they used to back in the

739
00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:15,080
Speaker 1: nineteenth sevent.

740
00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:18,000
Speaker 2: Okay, if Tom Brady wasn't the thing, we wouldn't be having.

741
00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:19,919
Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, no, no no. The game. The game

742
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:24,879
Speaker 1: has evolved, and I think for safety's sake, it would

743
00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:27,440
Speaker 1: be the right thing to do. But I also think

744
00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:31,600
Speaker 1: I don't want to see somebody just go kick it

745
00:38:31,640 --> 00:38:33,880
Speaker 1: in the end zone. So we all line up, we

746
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:36,560
Speaker 1: all come out there, and we all stand there, and

747
00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:40,040
Speaker 1: then whomever the kicker is boots it, you know, nearly

748
00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:42,759
Speaker 1: to Chattanooga, and we're gonna start it the twenty five anyway,

749
00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:45,040
Speaker 1: that's seventy percent of the plays. Now.

750
00:38:45,120 --> 00:38:49,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, but here's the thing you can't say for safety,

751
00:38:49,480 --> 00:38:53,040
Speaker 2: I'd be like, plus, it's boring, that's the crux of it. Well,

752
00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:56,480
Speaker 2: but I'm Keith doesn't want to sit through all the kickoff.

753
00:38:56,520 --> 00:39:00,440
Speaker 1: I'm saying what their answers are to the safety issue

754
00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:05,600
Speaker 1: makes the game lesser. If you're saying that the game

755
00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:10,239
Speaker 1: needs to be safer because it's a dangerous play, then

756
00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:14,240
Speaker 1: cut it out. Don't give me watered down versions of

757
00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:15,480
Speaker 1: this and this and this.

758
00:39:15,760 --> 00:39:18,640
Speaker 2: I think they're trying to preserve the game as it is.

759
00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:22,520
Speaker 1: If you're trying to preserve the game, then make the

760
00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:26,760
Speaker 1: game more palatable to everybody. Don't give us gimmicks. Don't

761
00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:30,839
Speaker 1: give us, I think silliness. I mean the other thing

762
00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:36,640
Speaker 1: is the on sidekick is the more dangerous version of

763
00:39:36,680 --> 00:39:40,239
Speaker 1: the kickoff. Still, how many times it worked last year?

764
00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:43,839
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm sure it's like something ridiculous. Three Yeah,

765
00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:44,880
Speaker 2: that seems about.

766
00:39:44,719 --> 00:39:48,160
Speaker 1: Right, and two of them were surprised on sides. So

767
00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:52,200
Speaker 1: the the literal end of game play because you're down

768
00:39:52,239 --> 00:39:54,080
Speaker 1: two scores and you score to make it a one

769
00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:56,480
Speaker 1: score game. It worked one time last year.

770
00:39:57,120 --> 00:39:58,000
Speaker 2: Get better at it?

771
00:39:58,120 --> 00:39:59,640
Speaker 1: Well, that's where I think you put the ball to

772
00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:02,000
Speaker 1: twenty five and give him a fourth and fifteen play.

773
00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:04,279
Speaker 2: Why don't you just get better at onside kicks?

774
00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:07,320
Speaker 1: But what have they done with the on side kicks

775
00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:11,120
Speaker 1: is you can't put seventeen guys on one side anymore

776
00:40:11,520 --> 00:40:14,480
Speaker 1: and let them charge down like the Roman legion coming

777
00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:17,600
Speaker 1: off the mountain has hit everybody because hey, we saw

778
00:40:17,600 --> 00:40:21,640
Speaker 1: it here Arizona in two thousand and nine lost Larry

779
00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:24,960
Speaker 1: Fitzgerald trying to field an on side kick and the

780
00:40:25,040 --> 00:40:30,000
Speaker 1: Titans knocked him out. Yeah, and I mean that's Larry Fitzgerald.

781
00:40:30,840 --> 00:40:36,680
Speaker 1: So all of this I think is I'm really for

782
00:40:36,719 --> 00:40:40,200
Speaker 1: the safety aspect of it. But I think you go

783
00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:43,439
Speaker 1: all the way, you don't go half the way.

784
00:40:44,920 --> 00:40:48,759
Speaker 2: I see. I can see your argument, Mike Keith. I

785
00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:51,640
Speaker 2: really can. Like I'm tracking with you. I follow it

786
00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:55,000
Speaker 2: all the way through. I do not agree with it, well,

787
00:40:55,040 --> 00:40:58,880
Speaker 2: of course, not because I want my I'm wan a

788
00:40:58,880 --> 00:41:02,839
Speaker 2: football game. The way of football game goes, kick off,

789
00:41:02,840 --> 00:41:04,400
Speaker 2: the ball, go play.

790
00:41:05,640 --> 00:41:08,680
Speaker 1: But when you started watching football, it was different than

791
00:41:08,680 --> 00:41:09,320
Speaker 1: it is now.

792
00:41:09,640 --> 00:41:11,719
Speaker 2: It was different, but it wasn't. This is like such

793
00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:14,719
Speaker 2: a fundamental part of the game, right.

794
00:41:15,560 --> 00:41:19,640
Speaker 1: There are no pie I mean back back when I say,

795
00:41:19,719 --> 00:41:22,160
Speaker 1: I mean they taught us. When I started playing little

796
00:41:22,239 --> 00:41:23,160
Speaker 1: league football with.

797
00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:24,719
Speaker 2: The leather helmets, we talked about it.

798
00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:27,520
Speaker 1: I wasn't in leather helmets, but they taught us ahead

799
00:41:27,560 --> 00:41:28,479
Speaker 1: slap well.

800
00:41:29,480 --> 00:41:30,960
Speaker 2: But it worked too, it did me.

801
00:41:31,120 --> 00:41:35,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm sure, but it's gone because as a matter

802
00:41:35,520 --> 00:41:38,320
Speaker 1: of fact, until nineteen seventy eight. You couldn't block using

803
00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:40,680
Speaker 1: your hands. You had to use your forearms.

804
00:41:40,760 --> 00:41:43,040
Speaker 2: Mike, we're talking a little bit more about modern dame

805
00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:44,359
Speaker 2: football as opposed.

806
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:47,160
Speaker 1: To seventy eight, the year of the NFL went to

807
00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:49,120
Speaker 1: sixteen games.

808
00:41:49,719 --> 00:41:56,600
Speaker 2: Mm hmm mm hmm. That yeah, yeah, that's the year.

809
00:41:58,440 --> 00:42:00,680
Speaker 1: Well, what I mean, what do you consider my football?

810
00:42:01,200 --> 00:42:03,320
Speaker 2: I don't want to answer that question. This sounds like

811
00:42:03,360 --> 00:42:05,719
Speaker 2: a really big trap. I think I'm not going to

812
00:42:05,719 --> 00:42:08,759
Speaker 2: answer that question, but I am going to say that

813
00:42:08,880 --> 00:42:11,279
Speaker 2: I think the kickoff should remain, and I applaud the

814
00:42:11,360 --> 00:42:13,880
Speaker 2: NFL for trying. They are trying.

815
00:42:14,239 --> 00:42:16,640
Speaker 1: So what you want to watch? If you paid one

816
00:42:16,680 --> 00:42:19,719
Speaker 1: hundred bucks for a ticket or if you're sitting there,

817
00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:23,359
Speaker 1: hopefully you're listening, by the way, but if you're we

818
00:42:23,440 --> 00:42:27,919
Speaker 1: hope you're listening to Titans radio. Yeah, but so, oh boy,

819
00:42:28,040 --> 00:42:30,279
Speaker 1: exciting play. They kick it real high and there's a

820
00:42:30,280 --> 00:42:30,920
Speaker 1: fair catch.

821
00:42:31,280 --> 00:42:35,200
Speaker 2: Not every play can be a ninety eight yard just

822
00:42:35,440 --> 00:42:37,319
Speaker 2: run to the end zone. They can't all be that

823
00:42:37,360 --> 00:42:39,640
Speaker 2: way because that's not how we gain. But changing it's

824
00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:43,200
Speaker 2: an arena football. But I don't want that. I want

825
00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:46,080
Speaker 2: a game where there are highs and lows.

826
00:42:46,080 --> 00:42:49,160
Speaker 1: Everybody's everybody's going to agree with you because it's easy.

827
00:42:49,440 --> 00:42:50,320
Speaker 2: It's not easy.

828
00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:53,200
Speaker 1: It's easy to agree. It's easy for people to agree

829
00:42:53,239 --> 00:42:57,560
Speaker 1: with you. Tradition, tradition, you know, preserve the game. Well, yeah,

830
00:42:57,560 --> 00:42:58,959
Speaker 1: I'm saying preserve the game.

831
00:42:59,520 --> 00:43:02,160
Speaker 2: I'm saying to take out the parts you don't like.

832
00:43:02,880 --> 00:43:04,680
Speaker 1: I don't want to take out I want to take

833
00:43:04,719 --> 00:43:06,320
Speaker 1: out the parts that don't work.

834
00:43:06,680 --> 00:43:08,680
Speaker 2: No, you want to take out the parts that you

835
00:43:08,719 --> 00:43:14,239
Speaker 2: don't enjoy watching. I don't enjoy watching through commercials too.

836
00:43:14,440 --> 00:43:18,880
Speaker 1: No, we love commercials. You better love commercials. I do

837
00:43:19,120 --> 00:43:22,920
Speaker 1: give tradition. You better love commercials. Pay your salary.

838
00:43:23,040 --> 00:43:24,240
Speaker 2: Commercials are my favorite.

839
00:43:24,320 --> 00:43:26,240
Speaker 1: By the way. Speaking of that, let me tell.

840
00:43:26,120 --> 00:43:28,399

00:44:33,560 --> 00:44:36,439

865
00:44:36,480 --> 00:44:39,560
Speaker 2: looking forward to that. I think there's there's a lot

866
00:44:39,600 --> 00:44:43,280
Speaker 2: more to watch at these These practices are so fleeting

867
00:44:43,320 --> 00:44:45,279
Speaker 2: because there's so many things I want to see and

868
00:44:45,520 --> 00:44:48,280
Speaker 2: my eyes just can't take it all in fast enough.

869
00:44:48,320 --> 00:44:50,080
Speaker 2: So I'm trying to really pace myself.

870
00:44:50,360 --> 00:44:52,600
Speaker 1: So you need to read Jim Wyat at Tennessee Titans

871
00:44:52,640 --> 00:44:53,120
Speaker 1: dot com.

872
00:44:53,200 --> 00:44:54,760
Speaker 2: Yep, he fills in all the gaps.

873
00:44:55,120 --> 00:44:59,160
Speaker 1: He goes everywhere Jim. Listen, Jim's fantastic. He is the best,

874
00:44:59,239 --> 00:45:01,200
Speaker 1: and that's why we call him the Great Jim Waatt,

875
00:45:01,239 --> 00:45:03,080
Speaker 1: and that's why we're so glad to have him as

876
00:45:03,080 --> 00:45:06,040
Speaker 1: a teammate. But he does something I can't do. He

877
00:45:06,080 --> 00:45:10,560
Speaker 1: can go to seven different areas and watch things and

878
00:45:10,600 --> 00:45:12,399
Speaker 1: pick up on it. I have to stay with two

879
00:45:12,480 --> 00:45:15,640
Speaker 1: or three areas and just say, Okay, today, I'm doing this.

880
00:45:15,880 --> 00:45:19,080
Speaker 1: That's how I am tomorrow. I'm doing this. And I

881
00:45:19,120 --> 00:45:20,920
Speaker 1: am not a multitasker like he is.

882
00:45:21,120 --> 00:45:23,480
Speaker 2: No, we're a little bit slower than Jim Wyatt. We

883
00:45:23,520 --> 00:45:25,800
Speaker 2: need to like focus on an area or a position

884
00:45:25,880 --> 00:45:28,880
Speaker 2: group or a couple position groups. Jim can bounce and

885
00:45:28,920 --> 00:45:31,680
Speaker 2: then he comes out with all this good stuff. You

886
00:45:31,719 --> 00:45:34,680
Speaker 2: can tell that Jim's in like high writing time. His

887
00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:38,000
Speaker 2: door has been closed for like three days, and Jim's

888
00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:38,880
Speaker 2: door is never closed.

889
00:45:38,920 --> 00:45:40,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, we'd like to just go by and bang on it,

890
00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:41,839
Speaker 1: just to see what he'll do.

891
00:45:41,920 --> 00:45:45,200
Speaker 2: I stap on the glass like the zoo really upstents him.

892
00:45:45,200 --> 00:45:45,880
Speaker 2: He doesn't like it.

893
00:45:46,040 --> 00:45:48,160
Speaker 1: He doesn't care for it. But we're glad we're in

894
00:45:48,200 --> 00:45:50,080
Speaker 1: the same area with him because he's a great guy.

895
00:45:50,160 --> 00:45:51,400
Speaker 1: And we really enjoy it.

896
00:45:51,440 --> 00:45:53,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, and sometimes he shares the snacks.

897
00:45:53,719 --> 00:45:55,600
Speaker 1: By the way, I had a cool thing the other

898
00:45:55,760 --> 00:46:00,759
Speaker 1: night LG yes did a Taste of Tennessee shoot and

899
00:46:00,800 --> 00:46:04,080
Speaker 1: I got to be there with Coach Mac, who of

900
00:46:04,120 --> 00:46:06,560
Speaker 1: course made a connection with somebody there because they had

901
00:46:06,600 --> 00:46:08,000
Speaker 1: a Chicago Bears tie.

902
00:46:08,040 --> 00:46:08,480
Speaker 2: Of course.

903
00:46:08,840 --> 00:46:10,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was amazing.

904
00:46:10,440 --> 00:46:12,080
Speaker 2: That's just going somewhere with Mac.

905
00:46:12,400 --> 00:46:14,000
Speaker 1: He's like, Mike, Keith, come on over here, I want

906
00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:16,400
Speaker 1: you to hear this story. And I know it's gonna

907
00:46:16,440 --> 00:46:20,080
Speaker 1: be and and the lady's sitting there looking at me like,

908
00:46:20,960 --> 00:46:24,400
Speaker 1: you know, who is this Who's a small person, and

909
00:46:24,760 --> 00:46:28,120
Speaker 1: I'm I'm standing there, and then he goes into the

910
00:46:28,160 --> 00:46:30,960
Speaker 1: Coach Mac thing, and then you know, she immediately perks up.

911
00:46:32,840 --> 00:46:36,160
Speaker 1: So it was fun. Keith Bullock was there, Javon Curse

912
00:46:36,360 --> 00:46:39,880
Speaker 1: was there, Kevin Dyson was there. Was a fun group.

00:46:40,000 --> 00:46:41,200
Speaker 2: Did you eat good Food?

914
00:46:41,360 --> 00:46:44,600
Speaker 1: It was unbelievable, really, it was really remarkable. They had

915
00:46:44,680 --> 00:46:48,920
Speaker 1: chefs from all over the state and that was that

916
00:46:49,040 --> 00:46:52,120
Speaker 1: was really a remarkable thing. A vegan chef from Memphis

917
00:46:52,239 --> 00:46:55,399
Speaker 1: who is just really talented. And it's going to be

918
00:46:55,640 --> 00:46:59,520
Speaker 1: on LG channels this fall and so that was kind of.

919
00:46:59,600 --> 00:47:01,960
Speaker 1: It was really nice to be asked, and I got

920
00:47:01,960 --> 00:47:03,320

00:47:20,560 --> 00:47:22,759
Speaker 1: a sport code with it. I did not put it

929
00:47:22,800 --> 00:47:23,840
