This is a thing now, No, and there's 55 00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,480 Speaker 1: so much that goes with it. And believe me, I 56 00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:19,400 Speaker 1: coach for thirty one years in this league. As a 57 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:22,160 Speaker 1: head coach, you don't get to interact a lot with 58 00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:24,920 Speaker 1: the fans because you've got some other stuff going on. Right, 59 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:27,720 Speaker 1: But now that I've been able to do this is 60 00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:29,840 Speaker 1: this is a part of this being able to be 61 00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:32,320 Speaker 1: on this broadcast team here for Titans Radio that I 62 00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,920 Speaker 1: absolutely love. I can finally get out and be with 63 00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,520 Speaker 1: the people and so I really I really enjoy this 64 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:40,800 Speaker 1: and you guys join it and being part of it. 65 00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:42,600 Speaker 1: You know, I'm not real smart. You can tell that 66 00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,400 Speaker 1: already just you know, just by what you've heard up here. 67 00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:49,200 Speaker 1: But I will recognize faces quick, and so I'm already 68 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,880 Speaker 1: finding some faces I'm going to recognize at a lot 69 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:55,480 Speaker 1: of events. All right, coachback, give us your breakdown of 70 00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:59,800 Speaker 1: the Titans first preseason game last Thursday in Baltimore. Just 71 00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:02,280 Speaker 1: what to he be expected? Played the second and the 72 00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:05,120 Speaker 1: third team, guys quite a bit. I think everybody was 73 00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:08,680 Speaker 1: a little bit surprised Malik Willis got the start at 74 00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:12,200 Speaker 1: quarterback and Mike Vrabel. Look, guys, we are so fortunate here. 75 00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:14,400 Speaker 1: I've been in this league thirty seven years. I know 76 00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:17,599 Speaker 1: good from bad. This head coach, this general manager, and 77 00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:19,760 Speaker 1: this owner. They are as good as you'd want in 78 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:23,039 Speaker 1: this league. And that the decision that was made to 79 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:26,240 Speaker 1: start Malik Willis. We all watched practice every day, and 80 00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:28,919 Speaker 1: what Malik needs is a lot of live reps in 81 00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:33,239 Speaker 1: the National Football League. And again, wonderful player at Liberty, 82 00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:36,800 Speaker 1: but the jump from Liberty to the National Football League 83 00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,760 Speaker 1: at quarterback, it's a huge leap. It's a huge jump, 84 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:42,520 Speaker 1: so he needed live reps. And we saw a lot 85 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:44,400 Speaker 1: of the things, and you heard what Mike Vrabel said 86 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:46,240 Speaker 1: after the game, a lot of the things you would 87 00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:51,000 Speaker 1: expect early elite athleticism. Really a great competitor team Riley's 88 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,520 Speaker 1: around him. But there's a lot going on out there. 89 00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:55,720 Speaker 1: And Mike Vrabel, you heard when he said he put 90 00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:58,160 Speaker 1: him back into the third quarter. And Mike Keith asked 91 00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:00,320 Speaker 1: me this in the in the broadcast, both third ball more. 92 00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:02,800 Speaker 1: Why would they put him back in? I said, they 93 00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:05,800 Speaker 1: want him continue to do some things they wanted him. 94 00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:09,479 Speaker 1: You know, he when you really grind the tape. You'll 95 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:12,200 Speaker 1: hear me say that a lot now, grind the tape 96 00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:13,840 Speaker 1: because that's what you do to find out what these 97 00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:16,680 Speaker 1: guys really are. There was, there was people open. He 98 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:19,000 Speaker 1: just got to learn to squeeze the trigger. And that's 99 00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:24,000 Speaker 1: different because he has been his whole career being able to, 100 00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:27,280 Speaker 1: you know, to forfeit to his athletic ability and just 101 00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:30,240 Speaker 1: make things happen. He will still do that, but he 102 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:33,719 Speaker 1: left a lot of yardage out there on the field 103 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:37,200 Speaker 1: with throws he didn't make. But I told Mike, I 104 00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:38,920 Speaker 1: told Amy, and I told Rhett when we were up there. 105 00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:42,320 Speaker 1: This tape for him is going to be such a 106 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:45,680 Speaker 1: great learning experience. There're gonna be a lot of teachable 107 00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:47,880 Speaker 1: moments on that tape. And you could see him at 108 00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:50,480 Speaker 1: practice today. Some of those throws he was holding onto, 109 00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:52,800 Speaker 1: he was letting go at practice. I can't wait to 110 00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:55,000 Speaker 1: see him again out here. I can't wait to see 111 00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:58,040 Speaker 1: him against the Bucks in practice, because that's gonna be big. 112 00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:00,520 Speaker 1: But you can be excited about this guy for one reason. 113 00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:03,160 Speaker 1: And I noticed it from in May when they first 114 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:06,200 Speaker 1: got here. He's the first guy out to practice. He's 115 00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:10,440 Speaker 1: like a sponge standing next to Ryan Tannehill, standing standing 116 00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:14,480 Speaker 1: next to O'Hara, the quarterback coach. He wants to absorb 117 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:16,760 Speaker 1: all of this. When you've got a player that has 118 00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:20,359 Speaker 1: that type of attitude going along with that type of 119 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:24,400 Speaker 1: athletic ability, we're gonna have something here, guys in It's 120 00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:26,960 Speaker 1: going to take time. Just as I always like to say, 121 00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:29,839 Speaker 1: keep your powder dry on it, but be excited. It 122 00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:33,159 Speaker 1: was a great third round pick by John Robinson rat 123 00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:36,440 Speaker 1: It's obvious that he has things to learn, but from 124 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:41,159 Speaker 1: what we saw, he is very much a prospect, not 125 00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:45,479 Speaker 1: a project. And I think what Mike Vrabel said after 126 00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:50,000 Speaker 1: the fact yesterday in his media he did okay, and 127 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:53,520 Speaker 1: they want to put him to the standard of an 128 00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:57,279 Speaker 1: NFL quarterback because they feel like as a prospect he 129 00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:00,760 Speaker 1: can develop into that kind of player. And the reason 130 00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:02,480 Speaker 1: that he can is a lot of the things that 131 00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:05,840 Speaker 1: coach Mack just outlined. He's the first guy out to 132 00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:08,680 Speaker 1: the practice field. He is putting in the work. You 133 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:10,760 Speaker 1: can tell he's doing it in the film room. You 134 00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:13,560 Speaker 1: can tell he's certainly doing on the practice field. But 135 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:18,920 Speaker 1: the athletic tangibles are off the charts. The smarts are there, 136 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:22,360 Speaker 1: the personality is there. It's just putting everything else together. 137 00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:25,960 Speaker 1: And look, hard work is how this thing's gonna work 138 00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:27,560 Speaker 1: for him. And there's a lot of young men on 139 00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:30,640 Speaker 1: this Titans team right now that are doing those kinds 140 00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:33,840 Speaker 1: of things. You know, we think about Julius Chestnutt is 141 00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:36,000 Speaker 1: a prime example. He got the start at running back 142 00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:38,480 Speaker 1: in Baltimore the other night, thirty miles from where he 143 00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:41,280 Speaker 1: grew up, and the reason that he did is because 144 00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:43,720 Speaker 1: he put in the work. He came in as an 145 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,720 Speaker 1: undrafted free agent from Sacred Heart, busted his rear end 146 00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:49,400 Speaker 1: for two weeks, and coach Rabel and the staff said, 147 00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:51,840 Speaker 1: you know what, You've earned this opportunity, and you will 148 00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:53,840 Speaker 1: serve as an example to the rest of those that 149 00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:57,320 Speaker 1: say nothing's given, it's all earned. Malik Willis is going 150 00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:00,000 Speaker 1: to earn it. And something I noticed about Malik Willis, 151 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:03,840 Speaker 1: just to piggyback on Rhet's point about him working so hard. 152 00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:07,520 Speaker 1: After every series in the game on the sidelines, he 153 00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:10,680 Speaker 1: came over and went straight to offensive coordinator Todd downing 154 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:14,040 Speaker 1: every single time he checked in with him, and he 155 00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:18,680 Speaker 1: was absorbing the tips. He was absorbing whatever plays they 156 00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:21,480 Speaker 1: were looking at, whatever corrections they were making about his 157 00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:25,920 Speaker 1: play calls. I mean, every single thing they dissected in 158 00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,640 Speaker 1: real time, so that then he could take that and 159 00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:30,600 Speaker 1: go back on the field the next time the offense 160 00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:33,600 Speaker 1: is on the field and make those corrections right away. 161 00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:37,160 Speaker 1: They were seeing improvement from one series to the next, 162 00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:40,080 Speaker 1: and that's something that you want to see. And that's 163 00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:42,880 Speaker 1: something he talked about postgame, is how helpful that was 164 00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:46,520 Speaker 1: for him to be learning as it was happening. It 165 00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:51,000 Speaker 1: wasn't theoretical anymore, it was actually tangibly happening right there. 166 00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:54,560 Speaker 1: Todd doubting in his press availability this morning, coach Mac 167 00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:58,160 Speaker 1: made the point that they're competing for the number two jobs, 168 00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:01,960 Speaker 1: so they are putting him in that situation where he 169 00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:06,400 Speaker 1: can work against Lucan Woodside to a certain extent trying 170 00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:10,520 Speaker 1: to earn that spot, and they get to hold him 171 00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:13,080 Speaker 1: to a bit of a higher standard rather than just 172 00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:16,439 Speaker 1: putting him in mothballs and saying you're definitely the number 173 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:19,560 Speaker 1: three all year. You're absolutely correct. And the thing that 174 00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:21,480 Speaker 1: you do as a coach when you get your new 175 00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:23,319 Speaker 1: players in the first thing that you like to do, 176 00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:26,280 Speaker 1: once you get them integrated into what you're doing, as 177 00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:28,600 Speaker 1: far as just the base ideas of what's going on, 178 00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,000 Speaker 1: you look for moments where you can put them in 179 00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:35,959 Speaker 1: stressful NFL situations immediately, because they've got to learn to react, 180 00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:38,480 Speaker 1: and they've got to learn to react fast, and they 181 00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:42,600 Speaker 1: have to be exposed to those stress situations. I coach 182 00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:44,760 Speaker 1: defense for a long time in this league, and I 183 00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:48,200 Speaker 1: would tell my rookies, look a slow correct decision on 184 00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:51,120 Speaker 1: defense in the National Football League. Here what I said, 185 00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:55,120 Speaker 1: a slow correct decision is wrong because the game moves 186 00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:57,560 Speaker 1: too fast. You've got to be able to process it, 187 00:09:57,760 --> 00:09:59,760 Speaker 1: and you've got to be able to go immediately and 188 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:01,640 Speaker 1: got to be able to trust what you've been taught. 189 00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:03,320 Speaker 1: Then you've got to be able to trust your eyes, 190 00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:06,480 Speaker 1: your instincts. That's why they're putting him in these situations 191 00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:10,520 Speaker 1: right now. There. They are not going to slow play 192 00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:12,959 Speaker 1: this guy at all because he's shown that he can 193 00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:15,920 Speaker 1: absorb it. Now it's up to him to earn it. 194 00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:18,120 Speaker 1: And I'm sure Logan Woodsides is not going to give 195 00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:20,560 Speaker 1: it up all right, But that's what competing in the 196 00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:23,440 Speaker 1: National Football League is. But I was I was really 197 00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:26,520 Speaker 1: excited about what I saw, and it's about what I 198 00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:29,120 Speaker 1: thought I would see because you could see him take off, 199 00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:32,240 Speaker 1: you could run. But the one, the one post corner 200 00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:35,360 Speaker 1: that he threw in the ball game for forty eight yards, 201 00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:37,920 Speaker 1: that's a big time throw. And then of course you 202 00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:41,079 Speaker 1: know the underhand boot that he threw, that's just natural, 203 00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:43,520 Speaker 1: that's God given right there. You know, There's only so 204 00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:46,320 Speaker 1: many that can do that. So I'm excited about this guy, 205 00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:49,480 Speaker 1: and you should be too, Coach. On the pre Baltimore 206 00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:53,079 Speaker 1: edition of the OTP, sponsored by far Bureau Health Plans, 207 00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:56,160 Speaker 1: who was the player you wanted to see and how 208 00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:58,079 Speaker 1: did that player do in the game. I wanted to 209 00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:02,000 Speaker 1: see Racy McMath, because you know Racy McMath last year 210 00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:05,000 Speaker 1: was a very intriguing player played at LSU. Didn't get 211 00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:08,240 Speaker 1: a lot of balls thrown his way because their receiving 212 00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:10,479 Speaker 1: corps was maybe one of the best in the Southeastern 213 00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:13,720 Speaker 1: Conference as a group, tremendous special teams player. He had 214 00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:16,000 Speaker 1: a sixty three, two hundred plus pound receiver that can 215 00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:19,760 Speaker 1: run four three and so the athletic traits were there, 216 00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:23,280 Speaker 1: and just to jump that he made from year one 217 00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:26,600 Speaker 1: to year two, and first of all his body composition 218 00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:30,520 Speaker 1: and then just his the way he carried himself and 219 00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:34,599 Speaker 1: his experience, not only on the league, but his confidence. 220 00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:36,880 Speaker 1: You could see him once they got back in OTA's 221 00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:39,800 Speaker 1: this is a confident dude now. And he's been showing 222 00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:42,800 Speaker 1: up in practices, all those practice reports that you get 223 00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:45,319 Speaker 1: when they ever asked us, we tell you exactly what 224 00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:47,520 Speaker 1: we see. We can't tell you schemes, but we can 225 00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:50,200 Speaker 1: tell you what we're looking at and player development. I 226 00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:52,600 Speaker 1: wanted to see him in a ballgame and I got 227 00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:54,120 Speaker 1: to see him, and you know, one of the things 228 00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:56,080 Speaker 1: that he did that I know we'll talk about a 229 00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:58,559 Speaker 1: forty six man roster here sooner or later, but he 230 00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:01,319 Speaker 1: went down on a kickoff and made a tackle. So 231 00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:03,160 Speaker 1: you say, well, coach Mack, he's a receiver. Why is 232 00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:05,520 Speaker 1: that so important you start putting forty six out there 233 00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:08,680 Speaker 1: on Sunday? Those guys that aren't starting the positions, they 234 00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:12,160 Speaker 1: gotta be core teams players. And so Racey McMath has 235 00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:15,880 Speaker 1: put himself in that spot so far in my mind, 236 00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:17,360 Speaker 1: and he was the one that I wanted to watch 237 00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:20,160 Speaker 1: and see in a stress situation, and I thought he 238 00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:23,640 Speaker 1: passed with pretty good flying colors. Amy, your player was 239 00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:28,280 Speaker 1: Nicholas Petit Frere, rookie offensive tackle out of Ohio State. 240 00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:30,840 Speaker 1: How did you think he did well? It's not like 241 00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:33,400 Speaker 1: other positions where I can throw out flashy numbers with 242 00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:35,560 Speaker 1: things he did. But he didn't do anything bad, So 243 00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:38,080 Speaker 1: I think that means he did good. Realistically, for a 244 00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:40,880 Speaker 1: rookie offensive lineman, A lot of that is getting those 245 00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:44,200 Speaker 1: reps and making sure that nothing goes wrong. That's really 246 00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:47,480 Speaker 1: what you're looking for, and that's what he did. I mean, 247 00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:49,520 Speaker 1: he got an opportunity to be in there, he got 248 00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:52,400 Speaker 1: a chance to play and get some action, and there 249 00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:55,199 Speaker 1: were no catastrophes on his watch. So I would call 250 00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:57,760 Speaker 1: that a victory. Reet Bryan, I believe your player was 251 00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:02,240 Speaker 1: Roger McCrary. That's correct, rookie defensive back out of Auburn's 252 00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:05,440 Speaker 1: second round pick, Roger McCrary did not get to make 253 00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:07,600 Speaker 1: the trip because he was a little bit dinged. But 254 00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:09,480 Speaker 1: he is back on the practice field now and that's 255 00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:11,720 Speaker 1: great news for the tape. And so I'll say again, 256 00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:14,280 Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to seeing him next Saturday night right 257 00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:16,960 Speaker 1: here at Nisan Stadium against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. But 258 00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:19,120 Speaker 1: since I didn't get to see him, we did get 259 00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:22,440 Speaker 1: to see Caleb Farley. He gave up one early and 260 00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:24,920 Speaker 1: lost a guy early, but I thought he rebounded well. 261 00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:28,199 Speaker 1: And you know, coach back, we'll tell you how long 262 00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:32,040 Speaker 1: and lean and how good this guy could be. And 263 00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:35,120 Speaker 1: we're starting to see some of that. Availability is the 264 00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:37,800 Speaker 1: key availability is clearly the dret night right now. Were 265 00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:40,080 Speaker 1: sitting up there watching practice today and they were doing 266 00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:43,600 Speaker 1: a transition drill with the defensive backs, which the you know, 267 00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:45,679 Speaker 1: the defensive coach. They're at two dummy set up and 268 00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:47,719 Speaker 1: they'll have their back to the dummies and then he'll 269 00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:49,839 Speaker 1: give him away once they get past the dummies to 270 00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:52,920 Speaker 1: transition to come back to front. And what you're looking 271 00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:54,280 Speaker 1: for as a coach. When you're looking at guys that 272 00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:57,360 Speaker 1: do that, are they taking extra steps? Are they rounding 273 00:13:57,400 --> 00:13:59,640 Speaker 1: it off or are they breaking at a sharp angle. 274 00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:02,440 Speaker 1: And we were watching and the player that went before 275 00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:06,520 Speaker 1: Caleb Farley did rounded it off. I said, now, watched 276 00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:09,880 Speaker 1: Caleb Farley, and even as high cut as he is, 277 00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:13,000 Speaker 1: which means he's got long legs. Usually high cut players 278 00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:15,960 Speaker 1: have a hard time breaking down in transitioning because they've 279 00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:18,400 Speaker 1: got a lot to unwind, he was so quick and 280 00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:20,760 Speaker 1: so this is going to be a special player. And 281 00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:23,000 Speaker 1: I was so happy to see him, as rhet said, 282 00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:25,720 Speaker 1: play as much as he did. He needs the time 283 00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:29,480 Speaker 1: out there too in stress situations. Another guy who really 284 00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:34,360 Speaker 1: showed up again the other night was Jack Gibbons. Jack 285 00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:38,800 Speaker 1: Gibbons is a rookie, undrafted linebacker. He wears number fifty, 286 00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:44,000 Speaker 1: and the head coach is a big fan, a huge 287 00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:46,800 Speaker 1: fan of it. But he never refers to him as 288 00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:52,800 Speaker 1: Jack Gibbons. He refers to him as doctor Gibbey. Well, 289 00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:55,040 Speaker 1: the odd thing about that is, I mean, that's fine 290 00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:57,680 Speaker 1: for Mike Vrabel to do that, but he doesn't realize 291 00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:00,400 Speaker 1: that the people out in the public real have no 292 00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:03,520 Speaker 1: idea who he's talking about. So it's our job to 293 00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:06,600 Speaker 1: inform you who he is. Coach Mack. He's pretty good 294 00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:09,600 Speaker 1: looking linebacker, you know. And I called him doctor Gibbey 295 00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:13,240 Speaker 1: on the broadcast. Mike Keith is a professional broadcaster. I'm 296 00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:15,720 Speaker 1: just what you see, okay. So I said, that's a 297 00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:18,520 Speaker 1: nice play by doctor Gibbey. Mike Keith went, you know, 298 00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:21,680 Speaker 1: that's Jack Gibbons. This is you know, but this guy. Look, 299 00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:24,880 Speaker 1: I coach linebackers for twenty some years in this league, 300 00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:26,960 Speaker 1: and when you've got a guy that's a free agent, 301 00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:30,520 Speaker 1: but that comes in and then starts, he just wants 302 00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:32,880 Speaker 1: a chance. I've got a great example of that of 303 00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:35,080 Speaker 1: a young linebacker that I coach that came in here 304 00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:36,840 Speaker 1: that all of a sudden ended up being a really 305 00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:39,800 Speaker 1: good Titans player. Was a young player from North Carolina 306 00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:43,440 Speaker 1: State named Stephen Tullock. Wasn't tall enough, wasn't fast enough, 307 00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:47,200 Speaker 1: but just could play ball. I think doctor Gibbey's kind 308 00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:49,320 Speaker 1: of the same way. What do you have nine tackles 309 00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:51,840 Speaker 1: the other night? I mean he showed up those kind 310 00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:54,680 Speaker 1: of guys. You know. For years when I was coaching, 311 00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:57,480 Speaker 1: I would be in charge of the rookie classes when 312 00:15:57,480 --> 00:15:59,840 Speaker 1: they came in and you know, orientation, just telling them 313 00:15:59,880 --> 00:16:02,360 Speaker 1: what's going to happen, what's what. And one of the 314 00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:05,200 Speaker 1: first things I've told him was is it doesn't really 315 00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:08,640 Speaker 1: matter how you got in these front doors. You're in 316 00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:12,760 Speaker 1: here now. Now. The length that you stay is up 317 00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:16,040 Speaker 1: to you. I think doctor Gibbey's taken advantage of his 318 00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:20,480 Speaker 1: length to stay here. So Jack Gibbons doctor Gibbey as 319 00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:24,280 Speaker 1: Mike Vrabel and coach mccollin sixty three two forty two. 320 00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:28,160 Speaker 1: He's a Texan who played at Abilene Christian, left there 321 00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:31,640 Speaker 1: and played last year at Minnesota. Had ninety two tackles 322 00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:33,960 Speaker 1: for the Golden Gophers on what was a good team 323 00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:36,320 Speaker 1: from them. I had a chance to visit with him 324 00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:40,840 Speaker 1: to provide you with some more background who Jack Gibbons 325 00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:44,640 Speaker 1: aka Doctor Gibbey really is. We'll let you listen to 326 00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:52,960 Speaker 1: it now on the ot P. Jack, when did you 327 00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:56,240 Speaker 1: first hear Mike Vrabel refer to you as doctor Gibbey? 328 00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:58,720 Speaker 1: I mean that was pretty quick once I got here. 329 00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:01,480 Speaker 1: He like skippy nicknames, so I guess it can't be 330 00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:03,040 Speaker 1: a bad thing to have a nickname. So I'll take 331 00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:05,040 Speaker 1: it and run with it. But when you heard that, 332 00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:07,960 Speaker 1: you thought, is he talking to me? Right? Yeah, well, 333 00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:10,320 Speaker 1: he had been calling me Gibby already, and then after 334 00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:12,560 Speaker 1: I'd been here a few days, he started adding doctor 335 00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:15,320 Speaker 1: in there, and he I guess he told the story. 336 00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:17,080 Speaker 1: I was a little bit confused. I was like, coach, 337 00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:18,680 Speaker 1: you know, I wasn't pre mad, and he's like, I'm 338 00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:21,480 Speaker 1: just just joking with you, like take a joke. But yeah, 339 00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:23,480 Speaker 1: I mean, I'll take it. Okay. So all the all 340 00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:26,960 Speaker 1: the Titans fans, though, they just hear him every time 341 00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:28,800 Speaker 1: he's talking in the media, and he brags on you, 342 00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:30,560 Speaker 1: which he does quite a bit, which is great. He 343 00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:33,040 Speaker 1: refers to you as doctor Gibbey, and a lot of 344 00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:36,880 Speaker 1: Titans fans have no idea who that is. Yeah, I mean, yeah, 345 00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:38,840 Speaker 1: I guess it's a I'll take it as a compliment. 346 00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:42,160 Speaker 1: I try to probably myself on kind of knowing what's 347 00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:44,199 Speaker 1: going on, having high football IQ and kind of studying 348 00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:46,400 Speaker 1: and stuff. So I'll take it. Take what I can get. 349 00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:49,119 Speaker 1: Your academic All American last year at Minnesota, though, and 350 00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:54,000 Speaker 1: I guess at Abilene double major accounting in finance, four 351 00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:56,720 Speaker 1: point o GPA, maybe that's what he's referring to it 352 00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:58,800 Speaker 1: could be. Yeah, my parents made a school big deal 353 00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:00,280 Speaker 1: since I was a little kid. So that's all. Something 354 00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:02,400 Speaker 1: I like to prop myself on is just whatever you're doing, 355 00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:04,080 Speaker 1: work hard out and be the best you can be. 356 00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:07,280 Speaker 1: So the story about how you get to Minnesota. So 357 00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:10,280 Speaker 1: you're an at, You're from Texas, you're an abolie. You 358 00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:12,639 Speaker 1: decide you want to play somewhere else last year and 359 00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:15,720 Speaker 1: you say I'm gonna go to Minnesota. You'd never been there. 360 00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:18,440 Speaker 1: How does that happen? Yeah, I mean that was It 361 00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:20,720 Speaker 1: was crazy. I just hopped in my truck and drove 362 00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:22,760 Speaker 1: up there, no visit, nothing, It was snow all over 363 00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:25,360 Speaker 1: the ground. I'd seen snow only a handful of time. 364 00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:27,959 Speaker 1: So it was definitely a huge adjustment. But I had 365 00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:30,080 Speaker 1: a good career in Nobiling. I really loved playing there, 366 00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:33,040 Speaker 1: but just I'd always dreamed of playing at Power five school, 367 00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:35,000 Speaker 1: kind of big time games like that. So I just 368 00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:37,120 Speaker 1: put my name in the transfer portal and some teams 369 00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:39,399 Speaker 1: started calling. Minnesota is my first Power five offer, and 370 00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:40,719 Speaker 1: I just felt like it was a great fit, and 371 00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:43,159 Speaker 1: so I just pulled the trigger on it and decided 372 00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:45,160 Speaker 1: to go. It was Why did that work? Out so well. 373 00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:47,840 Speaker 1: I think. I think it's a huge testament too. It 374 00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:49,840 Speaker 1: was just a great fit of like culture wise, they 375 00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:52,240 Speaker 1: got a great family culture up there. They're looking for 376 00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:54,760 Speaker 1: guys that are what I try to be, just guys 377 00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:57,040 Speaker 1: that work hard, care about the team, put the team first, 378 00:18:57,040 --> 00:18:59,639 Speaker 1: play together. And I just really loved it there. I 379 00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:02,040 Speaker 1: felt like it was a perfect fit for me, and 380 00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:05,040 Speaker 1: I kind of fit in scheme wise, culture wise, everything. 381 00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:07,080 Speaker 1: It was just kind of a perfect storm for you 382 00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:09,080 Speaker 1: and your football career. You've pretty much had to fight 383 00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:12,480 Speaker 1: for everything you've gotten, right, Yeah, I mean I feel 384 00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:14,400 Speaker 1: like I was really I mean, obviously, I went FCS 385 00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:16,080 Speaker 1: out of high school, didn't have a bunch of offers 386 00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:18,160 Speaker 1: and stuff and all I'm looking forwards a chance. That's 387 00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:20,000 Speaker 1: what I get one and when I came here as 388 00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:21,600 Speaker 1: a chance to compete, and I feel like I'm getting 389 00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:24,159 Speaker 1: a chance to compete, So nothing else I can ask for. 390 00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:26,440 Speaker 1: What do you feel like you're doing well here so 391 00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:29,800 Speaker 1: far in camp? That's catching everybody's attention. I don't know. 392 00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:31,520 Speaker 1: I'm just trying to make the most of my opportunities 393 00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:33,520 Speaker 1: and create a role for myself on the team. I'm 394 00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:35,840 Speaker 1: just focused on getting better every day and doing something 395 00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:38,399 Speaker 1: in any way. It can be offense, defense, special teams, 396 00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:40,040 Speaker 1: whatever it is, to try to help the team win 397 00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:41,840 Speaker 1: and create a role for myself. I'm just kind of 398 00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:43,600 Speaker 1: focused on second days right now and just playing the 399 00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:46,080 Speaker 1: best football I can. Is it nerve racking to play 400 00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:49,159 Speaker 1: linebacker for Mike vrabel No? I think it's awesome. I mean, 401 00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:52,000 Speaker 1: a guy that's a legend at this position, guy watched 402 00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:54,320 Speaker 1: growing up one super Bowls and stuff. It's super cool 403 00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:56,120 Speaker 1: to kind of here have that perspective if somebody who's 404 00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:58,119 Speaker 1: done it for a long time, it's funny hitting meetings 405 00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:00,600 Speaker 1: and stuff. You'll you'll joke I only played fourteen years 406 00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:02,600 Speaker 1: or something when guys maybe don't want to do it 407 00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:04,400 Speaker 1: the way he wants it done. So I just think 408 00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:06,640 Speaker 1: it's funny. It's it's definitely cool to have that perspective 409 00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:08,199 Speaker 1: in the room. What do you have to do the 410 00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:10,119 Speaker 1: rest of the way to have a chance to make 411 00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:11,919 Speaker 1: the roster. I think it's just the same thing I've 412 00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:14,240 Speaker 1: been doing. Just put my head down, keep working, try 413 00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:16,240 Speaker 1: to develop a role for myself. That's what we talk about, 414 00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:18,840 Speaker 1: just stacking days on top of each other, just keep 415 00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:20,360 Speaker 1: trying to get better and playing the best I can. 416 00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:23,520 Speaker 1: And if you have that attitude, nerves really don't get 417 00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:25,480 Speaker 1: in the way, do they. No, not really. I mean 418 00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:27,200 Speaker 1: I've kind of at a point where I'm just trying 419 00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:29,880 Speaker 1: to trying to play my best football, put my best 420 00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:31,480 Speaker 1: foot forward, play as hard as I can, and just 421 00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:33,000 Speaker 1: kind of let the chips fall were they may. So 422 00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:51,320 Speaker 1: just keep doing that and we'll see what happens. I 423 00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:53,760 Speaker 1: think they really liked that interview with Jack Ginbrick. Don't 424 00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:57,520 Speaker 1: you Amy love this guy? All of them are gonna 425 00:20:57,560 --> 00:21:00,840 Speaker 1: get fifty jerseys and when they come I'm in here 426 00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:04,840 Speaker 1: on Saturday night six o'clock for the game against the 427 00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:07,560 Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Buccaneers, They're going to be so fired up 428 00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:11,480 Speaker 1: because if you are one of the OT people, you 429 00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:15,000 Speaker 1: know who Jack Gibbons is, and you know when he's 430 00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:17,119 Speaker 1: referred to as doctor Gibbey, who the head coach is 431 00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:20,879 Speaker 1: now talking about? Wow, what an interview. I'm a little 432 00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:23,800 Speaker 1: I'm a little emotional reaction. I mean, I thought it 433 00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:28,000 Speaker 1: was good, but I didn't have done a lot of 434 00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:31,400 Speaker 1: interviews with undrafteds before Red. I didn't have any idea 435 00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:34,400 Speaker 1: it would affect people in that way. Sometimes it leaves 436 00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:36,520 Speaker 1: a mark. Yeah, thank you so much. Everyone. You were 437 00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:38,960 Speaker 1: just wonderful for doing that. So Amy and I went 438 00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:41,520 Speaker 1: through an exercise earlier today. Rett, I don't know if 439 00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:44,040 Speaker 1: you did it too, he did, I did. Coach Mac 440 00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:46,880 Speaker 1: does not like exercises, Yeah, I do, but I did 441 00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:50,440 Speaker 1: it with Rett. Okay. So the exercise that we went through, 442 00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:53,240 Speaker 1: we do this every year during training camp, especially at 443 00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:56,399 Speaker 1: this point. It's August fourteenth. We have a cut to 444 00:21:56,560 --> 00:22:00,000 Speaker 1: eighty five on Tuesday, we have a cut to eighty 445 00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:02,360 Speaker 1: a week from Tuesday on the twenty third, and then 446 00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:06,520 Speaker 1: we've got to be down to fifty three on August thirtieth. 447 00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:09,880 Speaker 1: So what I like to do at this point to 448 00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:13,800 Speaker 1: sort of ascertain how competitive the next couple of weeks 449 00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:16,960 Speaker 1: are going to be. I ask everybody in our group 450 00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:20,760 Speaker 1: look at a roster and tell me who on this 451 00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:24,080 Speaker 1: roster is definitely going to be on the team that 452 00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:28,600 Speaker 1: you are one hundred percent sure now, like you couldn't 453 00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:32,440 Speaker 1: say Jack Gibbons in this case because he's an undrafted 454 00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:35,119 Speaker 1: free agent. I'm not asking you to project the roster. 455 00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:39,600 Speaker 1: I'm saying how many people are for certain on this 456 00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:43,520 Speaker 1: football team right now? Like Derrick Henry is obviously on 457 00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:47,040 Speaker 1: the team, Ryan Tannehill, Jeffrey Simmons, so on and so forth. 458 00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:51,879 Speaker 1: My number ended up being thirty eight. Amy, what was 459 00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:55,600 Speaker 1: your number? Mine was thirty eight as well. Wow, yep, Rhett, 460 00:22:56,160 --> 00:23:01,160 Speaker 1: forty six? Wow you only think they're seven active roster 461 00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:05,239 Speaker 1: spots open right now? Yes? Wow, he's more confident than 462 00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:08,920 Speaker 1: I am. Yeah, me too. Now, I do have six 463 00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:13,120 Speaker 1: more that I circled that I'm pretty sure about, so 464 00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:16,280 Speaker 1: I could go to forty four. Oh see, I went back. 465 00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:18,400 Speaker 1: I did it twice, just for the sake of making 466 00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:22,200 Speaker 1: sure I was consistent. I had thirty five the second time. Okay, 467 00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:25,800 Speaker 1: so I went I went backwards. I got more more competition. 468 00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:28,720 Speaker 1: Did you end up doing this? Coach macat Red and 469 00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:31,160 Speaker 1: I kind of went through this ourselves, and the first 470 00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:36,119 Speaker 1: time the forty six number was a little high, and 471 00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:39,879 Speaker 1: I think, in my personal opinion, it's somewhere around forty 472 00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:43,840 Speaker 1: to forty three right now, right now. And the other thing, Mike, 473 00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:47,480 Speaker 1: that I'm going to throw out there on this sheet 474 00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:51,359 Speaker 1: of paper, there are some people maybe one, maybe two, 475 00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:54,399 Speaker 1: maybe three that are not even on this sheet of 476 00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:57,720 Speaker 1: paper that will be on the fifty three man roster 477 00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:01,280 Speaker 1: because there is so much roster manipulation that goes on 478 00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:05,280 Speaker 1: in the National Football League after the final cut. So 479 00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:09,160 Speaker 1: let's say, for fun, your numbers forty, our numbers thirty eight. 480 00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:13,600 Speaker 1: As you go into this week of practice against Tampa 481 00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:16,879 Speaker 1: Bay Wednesday and Thursday, as you go into the Tampa 482 00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:20,159 Speaker 1: Bay preseason game, as you go into two practices against 483 00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:23,840 Speaker 1: Arizona and a preseason game with them, there is still 484 00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:27,680 Speaker 1: a lot to be determined. People had better not let 485 00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:31,399 Speaker 1: up because not only could somebody else on this roster 486 00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:34,680 Speaker 1: take their spot, as you alluded to, there are other 487 00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:36,719 Speaker 1: guys in the league who may end up taking their 488 00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:39,800 Speaker 1: rosters by Yeah, let me talk about those stressful situations 489 00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:43,440 Speaker 1: that we just visited about earlier. When another team comes 490 00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:48,040 Speaker 1: into practice against you, that's a stressful situation because these 491 00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:51,119 Speaker 1: guys are now used to practicing against one another for 492 00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:55,000 Speaker 1: quite a while, and the familiarity that they get with 493 00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:57,560 Speaker 1: how someone runs a route or how this guy is 494 00:24:57,600 --> 00:24:59,520 Speaker 1: going to be in a one on one, all of 495 00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:02,359 Speaker 1: those things has become familiar. And so what you like 496 00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:06,040 Speaker 1: to do is bring the stress meter up by bringing 497 00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:09,399 Speaker 1: different people in. And there two things that happened, and 498 00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:12,560 Speaker 1: I've done a lot of joint practices when I was 499 00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:15,320 Speaker 1: coaching both as an assistant and a head coach. And 500 00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:18,080 Speaker 1: here's the things that you talk about as both staffs 501 00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:20,479 Speaker 1: when you're talking about doing this. You want to get 502 00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:23,560 Speaker 1: matchups and the drills that you want to do. The 503 00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:26,159 Speaker 1: other thing that you get to do. See when you 504 00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:30,840 Speaker 1: practice against yourself, well, then you've got a service yourself. Okay, 505 00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:35,399 Speaker 1: Now they will have the Titans offense and the Bucks 506 00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:38,040 Speaker 1: defense on one field, and then it'll be just the 507 00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:40,919 Speaker 1: reverse on the other field. And so the number of 508 00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:44,760 Speaker 1: reps that you can get can either be extended or 509 00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:48,760 Speaker 1: they can be quality reps against the same person time 510 00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:51,800 Speaker 1: after time. This is a big deal. I think having 511 00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:55,360 Speaker 1: these two teams come into work against the Titans at 512 00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:58,600 Speaker 1: this time, especially the younger players that we need to 513 00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:02,119 Speaker 1: find out how they're going to be quote under the lights, 514 00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:05,199 Speaker 1: this is an ideal time. I think John Robinson and 515 00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:08,280 Speaker 1: Mike Vrabel who did a very smart thing knowing that 516 00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:10,960 Speaker 1: our first preseason game was away, but then when the 517 00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:13,800 Speaker 1: other two teams agreed to stay for a week and 518 00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:17,320 Speaker 1: practice before we played a preseason game, this is a 519 00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:21,200 Speaker 1: big time evaluation time, Mike, big time red. I think 520 00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:24,320 Speaker 1: the last sixteen days are going to be a lot 521 00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:29,720 Speaker 1: more exciting than the first sixteen, seventeen, eighteen days because 522 00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:33,159 Speaker 1: this is a good roster, it is a veteran roster, 523 00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:37,320 Speaker 1: and there is tremendous competition all over the board. It's 524 00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:42,639 Speaker 1: one of the more competitive by just depth and those 525 00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:45,359 Speaker 1: things rosters that I've seen on a Titans roster in 526 00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:48,879 Speaker 1: quite some time. And Coach back laid it out right, 527 00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:53,679 Speaker 1: and you did too. These joint practices are as important 528 00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:56,040 Speaker 1: and in a lot of cases more important than the 529 00:26:56,119 --> 00:27:00,680 Speaker 1: preseason games themselves, because you get to truly look at 530 00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:04,600 Speaker 1: how your personnel is against their personnel, and then the 531 00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:06,399 Speaker 1: lights come on. You do what you do, you know 532 00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:10,879 Speaker 1: on Saturday night. But there's a lot that has to 533 00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:13,639 Speaker 1: be sorted out between now and then, and you're right. 534 00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:17,240 Speaker 1: I think you're exactly right. This next sixteen days is 535 00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:21,320 Speaker 1: going to be a roller coaster ride. Coach Mike Rabel 536 00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:23,840 Speaker 1: was asked if he was disappointed that Tom Brady is 537 00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:26,439 Speaker 1: not going to be here this week. He did not 538 00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:30,040 Speaker 1: like that question very much as you would expect, But 539 00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:33,240 Speaker 1: is he disappointed tom Brady's not going to be here 540 00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:36,840 Speaker 1: because of the player Tom Brady is? When you talk 541 00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:41,320 Speaker 1: about testing your people against the best. You know that 542 00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:43,800 Speaker 1: that's what that's what you would want. But I can 543 00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:47,320 Speaker 1: understand why he wouldn't like that question so much. You know, 544 00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:49,960 Speaker 1: we know the relationship, so I mean, because it is 545 00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:53,000 Speaker 1: a it's a personal, you know, thing with that nature soul. 546 00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:55,960 Speaker 1: But when you talk about when you and we'll still 547 00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:59,359 Speaker 1: get plenty of testing. But we we saw a couple 548 00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:02,240 Speaker 1: of years ago Tom Brady came in here. I mean, 549 00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:06,520 Speaker 1: that was a surgical seven on seven that he put on, 550 00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:09,440 Speaker 1: and that's that's and that's what you want. I mean 551 00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:11,760 Speaker 1: all the years that I coached, I mean we went 552 00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:13,159 Speaker 1: to Berlin one year and when I was with the 553 00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:16,000 Speaker 1: Bears and we were spend a week with the San 554 00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:18,960 Speaker 1: Francisco forty nine ers. We were a great team, but 555 00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:21,399 Speaker 1: you know how much it helped my defensive guys to 556 00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:24,720 Speaker 1: be able to practice against Joe Montana every day. I mean, 557 00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:27,480 Speaker 1: it's just that's what you want in this league. It's 558 00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:30,280 Speaker 1: the best against the best. And so I can understand though, 559 00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:33,639 Speaker 1: why Mike Vrabel would not, you know, address it, and 560 00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:36,119 Speaker 1: we'll get plenty of good work without Tom Brady here, Abe, 561 00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:38,400 Speaker 1: are you disappointed Tom Brady's not going to be here, 562 00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:41,840 Speaker 1: you know, I'm not, actually, I mean, best of luck 563 00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:44,840 Speaker 1: to him and his preparations for the season. But no, 564 00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:48,200 Speaker 1: it's always just such a circus. When Tom Brady's round, 565 00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:50,960 Speaker 1: there's a lot of hoop law. Everybody wants to see 566 00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:53,320 Speaker 1: this guy. I mean, he's just a player. There's lots 567 00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:56,360 Speaker 1: of players out there. It's the greatest quarterback of all time. Yeah, 568 00:28:56,360 --> 00:29:01,200 Speaker 1: and that's fine, but like, what a circus. He's forty 569 00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:03,920 Speaker 1: five years old. He sure is, and I'm still one 570 00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:06,720 Speaker 1: of the five best quarterbacks in the league, which so great. 571 00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:10,800 Speaker 1: I mean, God loved Tom Brady. However, it's a circus, 572 00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:13,840 Speaker 1: and I am a little thankful that the circus is 573 00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:17,320 Speaker 1: going to be somewhere else. Really, Yeah, I don't need 574 00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:21,200 Speaker 1: all that. Give the people what they want. Like he 575 00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:24,160 Speaker 1: I'm just not into all the thing everybody. Oh listen, 576 00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:26,760 Speaker 1: you're gonna want a live audience every week. Amy, I'm 577 00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:28,720 Speaker 1: coming in as your reinforcement because I feel the same 578 00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:32,360 Speaker 1: way when he was here two years ago. Yeah, it 579 00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:35,120 Speaker 1: was neat seeing in practice and seeing what he did whatever. Fine, 580 00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:38,040 Speaker 1: but it's way too many people there, sledding and smelly 581 00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:43,800 Speaker 1: like the rest of them. Coach, you guys are seeing 582 00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:47,400 Speaker 1: the true character now of Amy Wells. I'm just not 583 00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:50,640 Speaker 1: He's good. You know, we have a Titans Amy Coach 584 00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:55,840 Speaker 1: Mac podcast and you understand what name is first Titans 585 00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:58,640 Speaker 1: Amy because I'm scared of her and really, when you 586 00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:01,719 Speaker 1: when you get down to it, I mean she is 587 00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:06,120 Speaker 1: she is really really hardcore about some things and you 588 00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:09,360 Speaker 1: don't want to cross her. So Amy, if you're happy 589 00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:12,000 Speaker 1: that he's not here, I'm happy just know that the 590 00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:14,440 Speaker 1: work aspect of it is valid. Do you want your 591 00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:17,480 Speaker 1: guys going up against the best guys? Yes, but I 592 00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:20,280 Speaker 1: mean there are a lot of good players for the Bucks. 593 00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:23,600 Speaker 1: They did win a Super Bowl within the last couple 594 00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:26,800 Speaker 1: of years. Like they're a pretty good team. I think 595 00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:29,320 Speaker 1: you can find some other competition to get some pretty 596 00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:32,400 Speaker 1: good work done. I need that guy running around. You're 597 00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:35,400 Speaker 1: just excited to see blamed Gabbert. He did go to 598 00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:38,440 Speaker 1: Miszoo m i Z Yes, get Blade. Speaking of m 599 00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:44,479 Speaker 1: I Z, the Great Ashley Farrell throughout an outstanding question 600 00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:47,600 Speaker 1: for Coach Mack when we were doing the exercise earlier today. 601 00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:52,120 Speaker 1: When teams go through this process, through the whole cutdown process, Coach, 602 00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:57,280 Speaker 1: do they do a board and put players in other 603 00:30:57,440 --> 00:31:01,479 Speaker 1: teams and their own team in pods like you do 604 00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:07,160 Speaker 1: a draft board, so they can assess where they might 605 00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:10,560 Speaker 1: be better if they pick up a player from another team. Well, 606 00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:12,680 Speaker 1: I'm so proud of Ashley. Isn't that a great question? 607 00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:16,120 Speaker 1: That's that's a wonderful question. I mean six years ago 608 00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:18,920 Speaker 1: when I came here, Amy Wells and Ashley Farrell asked 609 00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:21,400 Speaker 1: me to sit down and spend we spent five months 610 00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:24,920 Speaker 1: grinding tape teach us the NFL they wanted to learn. 611 00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:27,400 Speaker 1: Their notebooks were full, both of these, I mean, they're 612 00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:30,440 Speaker 1: in press. That's a great question. The answers yes, and 613 00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:33,320 Speaker 1: a great A great example of that, guys is just 614 00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:37,160 Speaker 1: think about what John Robinson and his entire personnel group 615 00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:41,640 Speaker 1: did both collegiately and in the in the NFL, because 616 00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:45,320 Speaker 1: you have two distinct personnel groups, college groups and the 617 00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:48,240 Speaker 1: professional groups. Think of what they did last year bringing 618 00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:51,680 Speaker 1: ninety one players in here. We played ninety one players 619 00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:54,080 Speaker 1: last year and still won twelve ball games. Were the 620 00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:58,640 Speaker 1: number one seed. That that that's an amazing, amazing ability 621 00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:01,680 Speaker 1: to do something. Now they will do the same thing 622 00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:05,320 Speaker 1: now they have they have people assigned to every division 623 00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:08,960 Speaker 1: out watching these teams right now. And so the answer 624 00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:12,080 Speaker 1: to ask this question is, yes, you have some people 625 00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:13,560 Speaker 1: that you will put up there that you know are 626 00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:17,640 Speaker 1: untouchable for you, but also the people that you send out. 627 00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:20,000 Speaker 1: Say I send Amy Wells out and she's got the 628 00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:23,240 Speaker 1: entire NFC East, she will know. She'll say, hey, Kilse, 629 00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:26,600 Speaker 1: She'll come back and tell coach Rabel. These guys are 630 00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:29,840 Speaker 1: kind of on the fence with this team. This is 631 00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:33,360 Speaker 1: how strong this team is here. These guys might be available. 632 00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:37,560 Speaker 1: Let's let's bring out our reports from college, Let's bring 633 00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:41,320 Speaker 1: out our professional reports and see where they stack up 634 00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:43,640 Speaker 1: with the guys that might be on the fence with 635 00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:47,120 Speaker 1: us at this position. They absolutely do that. It's a 636 00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:50,000 Speaker 1: great question by Ashley read how many do you think 637 00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:52,520 Speaker 1: they bring in when it's all said and done. How 638 00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:55,320 Speaker 1: many veterans do they add to this roster when when 639 00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:57,640 Speaker 1: they get down to the very end, I must say 640 00:32:57,640 --> 00:33:01,000 Speaker 1: three or four? Um, I think they'll be there's a 641 00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:04,200 Speaker 1: chance a couple of undrafteds they have in their own 642 00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:07,720 Speaker 1: training camp right now the Titans make this roster. I 643 00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:10,480 Speaker 1: think there's three or four veterans possibly that could be 644 00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:15,040 Speaker 1: added to this thing, even after the cut, before week one, 645 00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:17,160 Speaker 1: is that your your number is three or four? I 646 00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:19,800 Speaker 1: think so? Yes, Ay, yeah, I was four. I was 647 00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:23,080 Speaker 1: gonna say three. I think so. I think for this 648 00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:26,960 Speaker 1: group who's in here right now, they're after fifty roster 649 00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:29,880 Speaker 1: spots at this moment, I think so, Mike. And the 650 00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:32,760 Speaker 1: key is, I've been on all types of teams in 651 00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:34,680 Speaker 1: my years in this league, something really good and something 652 00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:37,400 Speaker 1: really bad. And so if you've got a not so 653 00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:40,040 Speaker 1: good team, that number is usually pretty high, right that 654 00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:41,800 Speaker 1: you start to go to get this is a good 655 00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:44,840 Speaker 1: football team, but they can they can be better at 656 00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:48,320 Speaker 1: those other slots possibly, and that's what they've got their 657 00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:51,440 Speaker 1: eye on now. You always want to be able to 658 00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:54,200 Speaker 1: have the cuts be really hard, because if the cuts 659 00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:56,680 Speaker 1: are really hard, then you know you've got to kind 660 00:33:56,680 --> 00:33:59,320 Speaker 1: of squads you want to start the year with. All Right, 661 00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:03,080 Speaker 1: so rules, and we wanted to let the OT people 662 00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:05,960 Speaker 1: know some of the points of emphasis on the rules. 663 00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:08,759 Speaker 1: I'm going to run through these rather quickly. We want 664 00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:12,560 Speaker 1: you to be ahead. So when you are watching Titans 665 00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:18,239 Speaker 1: football as rookie season ticket members, as when you're here 666 00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:21,840 Speaker 1: on Saturday night, or whether you're watching on television somewhere 667 00:34:22,040 --> 00:34:24,560 Speaker 1: or hopefully listening to the radio, you will know what 668 00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:27,880 Speaker 1: the points of emphasis are for the preseason sportsmanship and 669 00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:32,680 Speaker 1: tawning that goes on. They are continuing to try to 670 00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:34,759 Speaker 1: get as much of the tawning out of the game 671 00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:38,960 Speaker 1: as possible, not because they don't like showboating, but because 672 00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:41,239 Speaker 1: it leads to problems. Coach, well, a least a lot 673 00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:43,680 Speaker 1: of problems, especially on the field. I mean, when I 674 00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:46,440 Speaker 1: first started coaching this league thirty seven years ago, that 675 00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:50,600 Speaker 1: it was the Wild West. I mean, everything went, everything went, 676 00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:52,759 Speaker 1: and that wasn't a great deal, but we lived with 677 00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:54,879 Speaker 1: it because that's why it was. Now it's much better 678 00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:57,680 Speaker 1: the way it is now. You don't need it, all right, Rett, 679 00:34:57,719 --> 00:34:59,839 Speaker 1: here's the second one, and I want to get your 680 00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:03,640 Speaker 1: thoughts on this. There are changements and enforcement to the 681 00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:07,399 Speaker 1: roughing the passer penalty. If you are a defender on 682 00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:13,960 Speaker 1: the ground and you swipe, at, grab, or wrap a passer, 683 00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:18,520 Speaker 1: you are no longer deemed to be making forcible contact 684 00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:21,120 Speaker 1: and you will not be penalized for that. So if 685 00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:23,839 Speaker 1: you're on the ground crawling towards the quarterback and you 686 00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:28,359 Speaker 1: grab his ankle, that is no longer a penalty. Glancing 687 00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:33,800 Speaker 1: or grazing blows to the quarterback's head, particularly when matching 688 00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:37,719 Speaker 1: the quarterback's hand attempting to alter a pass. In other words, 689 00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:40,360 Speaker 1: you're trying to bat a pass down, so you're putting 690 00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:42,600 Speaker 1: your hand in front of his and when you do, 691 00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:46,640 Speaker 1: you might catch his face mask or catch the side 692 00:35:46,680 --> 00:35:50,480 Speaker 1: of his helmet barely. That is no longer deemed to 693 00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:53,759 Speaker 1: be violent and will no longer be penalized. So they 694 00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:56,399 Speaker 1: are taking some things out of roughing the passer. Well, 695 00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:59,320 Speaker 1: and I like this because you know, the emphasis for 696 00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:03,720 Speaker 1: real seasons now has been on safety of the players, 697 00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:07,600 Speaker 1: and in particular the quarterback position. But how many times 698 00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:10,600 Speaker 1: have you seen somebody's team, and it's happened to the 699 00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:14,040 Speaker 1: Titans too, where it's been a grazing blow to a 700 00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:16,960 Speaker 1: quarterback that was a costly penalty that maybe was the 701 00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:19,239 Speaker 1: difference in something. And I think it's good that they've 702 00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:22,200 Speaker 1: reeled in this just a little bit, still keeping the 703 00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:27,040 Speaker 1: quarterback protected, but looking at this with a more ken eye. Well, 704 00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:29,640 Speaker 1: the thing about the quarterback, you couldn't they put it 705 00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:31,360 Speaker 1: in there where you couldn't hit him below the knees, 706 00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:34,040 Speaker 1: all right, And then the reason for that is if 707 00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:37,960 Speaker 1: a quarterback is manipulating the cylinder which forms when it's 708 00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:40,560 Speaker 1: not a pocket, it's really a cylinder because the ends 709 00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:43,719 Speaker 1: curve around and then you've got a solid front. When 710 00:36:43,719 --> 00:36:47,120 Speaker 1: they do that and they have to step forward to throw, 711 00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:49,719 Speaker 1: that's where you see a lot of quarterback lowered leg 712 00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:53,440 Speaker 1: injuries happen because the plant leg is solid in the ground, 713 00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:55,560 Speaker 1: cleats in the ground, and then you come in and 714 00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:58,240 Speaker 1: you hit it, there's nowhere for it to go. Okay, 715 00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:00,439 Speaker 1: So they've tried to take all of that out. Now, 716 00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:03,839 Speaker 1: what they did before they put this part in. Now, 717 00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:06,880 Speaker 1: then it became anytime you touched him below the knee, 718 00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:09,360 Speaker 1: no matter how it happened, it was a penalty. I 719 00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:12,480 Speaker 1: like what they're doing here. The other thing with matching 720 00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:14,919 Speaker 1: the hand, and when Mike talks about matching the hand, 721 00:37:15,160 --> 00:37:18,440 Speaker 1: he talks about guys, when you're rushing the passer, Amy, 722 00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:20,480 Speaker 1: you be the quarterback, put your right hand up. Just 723 00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:22,160 Speaker 1: put your right hand up. Not it's a little higher 724 00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:25,960 Speaker 1: than that, please, thank you. Okay, just staying there after me, Yeah, 725 00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:32,400 Speaker 1: just stay there and throwing the throwing. Just keep it 726 00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:34,280 Speaker 1: there for a minute. I'll be through in a minute. 727 00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:36,920 Speaker 1: Let's say. So when when when they've got a right 728 00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:39,799 Speaker 1: hand up. If you're rushing from the quarterback's hand, you 729 00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:41,959 Speaker 1: want to match it. See if you want to match 730 00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:44,359 Speaker 1: it with your right hand and get across and match it. 731 00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:47,279 Speaker 1: But and so what they want to do is a 732 00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:49,399 Speaker 1: lot of times when you match it, if you miss it, 733 00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:52,440 Speaker 1: you'll graze the quarterback's face or graze the side of 734 00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:55,359 Speaker 1: his helmet. That's that's okay. Now I'll go ahead put 735 00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:57,919 Speaker 1: it down that I would never hit you in the face. 736 00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:01,640 Speaker 1: So to me me, I like it. What they're just 737 00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:04,280 Speaker 1: trying to do. They put them in a broad general 738 00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:07,160 Speaker 1: rule to for protection. Now they're trying to refine it, 739 00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:10,440 Speaker 1: and I like it all right. So holding. The league 740 00:38:10,600 --> 00:38:14,320 Speaker 1: liked the way holding offensive holding was in force last 741 00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:17,279 Speaker 1: year and they want it to continue. They don't want 742 00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:22,160 Speaker 1: all the holding calls. So the emphasis for calls point 743 00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:27,280 Speaker 1: of attack, holds and clear path to the quarterback holes. Coachmack, 744 00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:29,680 Speaker 1: what does that mean? Well, that means anytime that that 745 00:38:30,280 --> 00:38:33,360 Speaker 1: there is a there is a the cylinder again that 746 00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:37,760 Speaker 1: they're they're throwing and alignment is beat and egregiously reaches 747 00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:40,400 Speaker 1: out just to wrap a guy up so he doesn't 748 00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:43,200 Speaker 1: flatten the quarterback. So it's a clear path to the 749 00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:46,520 Speaker 1: quarterback and he's he's he's grabbed by some way, either 750 00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:49,000 Speaker 1: from behind, by the jersey. Most of the times what 751 00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:51,200 Speaker 1: they'll do is they'll reach around and grab the waist 752 00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:54,560 Speaker 1: and turn them. They want that call, And I'm all 753 00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:58,160 Speaker 1: for this because to me, a lot of times holding 754 00:38:58,200 --> 00:39:02,120 Speaker 1: calls can be so sold, nebulous, and they're big calls, 755 00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:04,480 Speaker 1: all right. The fourth one, Amy, I want you to 756 00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:08,200 Speaker 1: touch on this one. The league wants officials. I'm just 757 00:39:08,239 --> 00:39:10,840 Speaker 1: gonna read this verbatim because I think it's interesting. The 758 00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:15,120 Speaker 1: league wants officials to focus more on running with defenders 759 00:39:15,120 --> 00:39:20,040 Speaker 1: and wide receivers on the deep balls. The league does 760 00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:25,960 Speaker 1: not believe that defenders who are running in phase with 761 00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:30,640 Speaker 1: wide receivers should be punished for basic hand fighting if 762 00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:34,799 Speaker 1: that contact does not affect the receiver's ability to catch 763 00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:37,520 Speaker 1: the football. The same goes for receivers who are hand 764 00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:41,239 Speaker 1: fighting with defensive backs. When it comes to offensive pass interference, 765 00:39:41,719 --> 00:39:45,880 Speaker 1: the league believes if officials are running with the play, 766 00:39:46,760 --> 00:39:51,040 Speaker 1: the better to make a determination on this. Incidental contacts 767 00:39:51,040 --> 00:39:55,719 Speaker 1: should not be called because this is the most costly 768 00:39:55,800 --> 00:39:59,520 Speaker 1: foul in the NFL. It is not a fifteen yard penalty. 769 00:39:59,560 --> 00:40:02,960 Speaker 1: It is a spot foul. So if a dB is 770 00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:06,160 Speaker 1: running with a receiver and they're just battling back and 771 00:40:06,200 --> 00:40:09,239 Speaker 1: forth and the ball falls incomplete, they're not going to 772 00:40:09,320 --> 00:40:12,320 Speaker 1: call it right, and they want the official in better 773 00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:16,120 Speaker 1: position to call it. Yeah, it puts the onus kind 774 00:40:16,120 --> 00:40:18,960 Speaker 1: of on the official to make sure that they are 775 00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:21,759 Speaker 1: there so they can make a call and make a 776 00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:25,000 Speaker 1: common sense call, I mean, being able to be there 777 00:40:25,040 --> 00:40:28,200 Speaker 1: evaluate what was going on. Was it egregious? Did it 778 00:40:28,280 --> 00:40:32,239 Speaker 1: impact someone's ability to make a play call it? Was 779 00:40:32,239 --> 00:40:35,720 Speaker 1: it not egregious? Was it just along the regular realm 780 00:40:35,760 --> 00:40:38,879 Speaker 1: of you doing what you do to defend or try 781 00:40:38,920 --> 00:40:42,879 Speaker 1: to get separation or whatever. Okay, I mean they want 782 00:40:42,920 --> 00:40:46,360 Speaker 1: to have someone there who can make a good evaluation 783 00:40:46,560 --> 00:40:48,920 Speaker 1: on what was happening in that moment and not have 784 00:40:49,040 --> 00:40:51,600 Speaker 1: it be a one size fits all ruling that doesn't 785 00:40:51,640 --> 00:40:56,080 Speaker 1: necessarily apply to every situation. They're kind of taking the 786 00:40:56,120 --> 00:40:59,000 Speaker 1: one size fits all nature out of it and getting 787 00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:02,640 Speaker 1: a little bit more in the moment contacts common sense 788 00:41:02,640 --> 00:41:05,160 Speaker 1: in there. This is the most devastating penalty in our game. 789 00:41:05,520 --> 00:41:08,120 Speaker 1: It really is. It's a game flipper. It's a game changer. 790 00:41:08,320 --> 00:41:10,319 Speaker 1: And I remember, remember, you know when it came in, 791 00:41:10,520 --> 00:41:14,200 Speaker 1: and it came in to accelerate scoring. That's why it 792 00:41:14,239 --> 00:41:16,319 Speaker 1: came in because before any of this is in, and 793 00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:18,480 Speaker 1: before any of the rules were in where you couldn't 794 00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:20,680 Speaker 1: contact them, but for five yards down the field, you know, 795 00:41:20,800 --> 00:41:22,400 Speaker 1: we used to could beat them up. I mean, you 796 00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:24,759 Speaker 1: could beat them up all you wanted. And so this 797 00:41:24,840 --> 00:41:27,200 Speaker 1: was put in for scoring and it's gotten a little 798 00:41:27,239 --> 00:41:29,840 Speaker 1: bit out of hand, and it is a game changer. 799 00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:32,279 Speaker 1: I'm glad that they're doing this, and Amy gave a 800 00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:35,480 Speaker 1: great explanation for it, because there it's not just one 801 00:41:35,520 --> 00:41:38,279 Speaker 1: fits all and I like the fact that and most 802 00:41:38,320 --> 00:41:40,840 Speaker 1: and most of your side judges, your back judges are 803 00:41:40,840 --> 00:41:43,160 Speaker 1: already lined up back there, but most of your side 804 00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:45,640 Speaker 1: judges have to run with that play. They have to 805 00:41:45,760 --> 00:41:48,200 Speaker 1: run with the play. And I'm all for what they're 806 00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:50,600 Speaker 1: trying to do. So Coach Mac is a follow up 807 00:41:51,360 --> 00:41:54,960 Speaker 1: with them doing this and changing this rule. If they 808 00:41:55,160 --> 00:41:59,080 Speaker 1: if they enforce this regularly, that's going to change the 809 00:41:59,120 --> 00:42:01,560 Speaker 1: way offense is a little bit of their business because 810 00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:04,759 Speaker 1: sometimes it's just flat out we can go out there 811 00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:06,600 Speaker 1: and have our guy to run around and he can 812 00:42:06,719 --> 00:42:09,680 Speaker 1: draw a defensive pass interference. Well, and that's some of 813 00:42:09,680 --> 00:42:11,239 Speaker 1: the ones you see where the ball is just going 814 00:42:11,360 --> 00:42:15,960 Speaker 1: up really in desperation situations. That's why guys think about this. 815 00:42:16,120 --> 00:42:18,960 Speaker 1: And you know, lifetime coach in the league, I know this. 816 00:42:19,520 --> 00:42:21,840 Speaker 1: You never see it called. You know on Hail Mary's. 817 00:42:22,400 --> 00:42:24,840 Speaker 1: Do you know how much contact there is on Hail Mary's. 818 00:42:24,880 --> 00:42:26,719 Speaker 1: You guys know what that is. We have a bunch 819 00:42:26,719 --> 00:42:29,319 Speaker 1: of guys jumping up for it and it's never called. Right, 820 00:42:29,680 --> 00:42:33,040 Speaker 1: it's never called on Hail Mary's. And there's past interference 821 00:42:33,080 --> 00:42:35,480 Speaker 1: on when you're coaching defense and it's a last minute 822 00:42:35,600 --> 00:42:37,800 Speaker 1: you say, interfere with them because they're not going to 823 00:42:37,880 --> 00:42:40,880 Speaker 1: call it. They won't call that because it's it's a 824 00:42:40,920 --> 00:42:43,920 Speaker 1: game changing play. It can be a game flipper. Okay, 825 00:42:43,960 --> 00:42:46,319 Speaker 1: so you're gonna say, go as much contact as you want. 826 00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:49,680 Speaker 1: I think this is gonna start going towards that. As 827 00:42:49,680 --> 00:42:52,359 Speaker 1: far as if it's egregious, you're yanking, you're pulling, you're 828 00:42:52,360 --> 00:42:54,399 Speaker 1: pulling a guy down, impeeding his way to the ball, 829 00:42:54,600 --> 00:42:56,839 Speaker 1: they'll call it. But some of those contacts that they 830 00:42:56,880 --> 00:43:00,560 Speaker 1: call and both look both for and against, well four 831 00:43:00,560 --> 00:43:03,359 Speaker 1: and against. I like what we're doing here with this. 832 00:43:03,680 --> 00:43:05,759 Speaker 1: I'm going to be interested to see in the preseason 833 00:43:06,120 --> 00:43:08,200 Speaker 1: what we had one. We had one in our game, 834 00:43:08,440 --> 00:43:10,319 Speaker 1: you know, when trail and Barks was down there. We 835 00:43:10,400 --> 00:43:13,200 Speaker 1: had one with Traylan Barks that that was a combat catch, 836 00:43:13,480 --> 00:43:15,440 Speaker 1: you know, throw up down, they're deep, deep, deep in 837 00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:18,759 Speaker 1: the end zone, you know, and that that possibly could 838 00:43:18,760 --> 00:43:21,000 Speaker 1: have been called. I think this was a reason why 839 00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:23,080 Speaker 1: it wasn't. All right, here's the next one, rech You're 840 00:43:23,080 --> 00:43:26,759 Speaker 1: gonna love this one. Quarterbacks have been notified if they 841 00:43:26,760 --> 00:43:30,920 Speaker 1: are running north south along the boundary, in other words, 842 00:43:30,920 --> 00:43:36,040 Speaker 1: if they're running down the sidelines and they're looking for 843 00:43:36,160 --> 00:43:40,799 Speaker 1: extra yards, and quarterbacks have been given the benefit that 844 00:43:40,880 --> 00:43:43,799 Speaker 1: they've been able to do that little toe dance at 845 00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:48,320 Speaker 1: the end of plays and pick up three five extra yards, 846 00:43:48,760 --> 00:43:51,600 Speaker 1: knowing that if they get hit, there's gonna be a 847 00:43:51,640 --> 00:43:55,080 Speaker 1: flag throne. Well, now the league is saying, and this 848 00:43:55,160 --> 00:43:59,080 Speaker 1: is a point of emphasis, if they are looking to 849 00:43:59,120 --> 00:44:02,000 Speaker 1: pick up extra yards before going out of bounds, they're 850 00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:06,839 Speaker 1: considered runners and are free to be contacted unless they 851 00:44:06,840 --> 00:44:09,239 Speaker 1: are clearly out of bounds. The same holds true for 852 00:44:09,320 --> 00:44:12,600 Speaker 1: running backs and receivers trying to pick up extra yards. 853 00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:17,600 Speaker 1: The league wants officials to examine plays once the runner 854 00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:21,719 Speaker 1: is clearly out of bounds for potential personal foul penalties, 855 00:44:22,120 --> 00:44:26,239 Speaker 1: like what happened to Jalen Hurts, the Eagles quarterback in 856 00:44:26,280 --> 00:44:28,799 Speaker 1: the preseason game the other day against the Jets. Right, 857 00:44:28,920 --> 00:44:32,960 Speaker 1: so he's almost off the white, he's two steps out 858 00:44:32,960 --> 00:44:36,520 Speaker 1: of bounds and the guy waxing. That's a penalty if 859 00:44:36,560 --> 00:44:40,520 Speaker 1: he's on the edge and the defender has committed and 860 00:44:40,640 --> 00:44:43,239 Speaker 1: does not know he's going out of bounds. For sure, 861 00:44:43,719 --> 00:44:45,759 Speaker 1: they're going to give the defender the benefit of the 862 00:44:45,800 --> 00:44:49,439 Speaker 1: doubt because they're saying he's a runner. And with all 863 00:44:49,440 --> 00:44:52,200 Speaker 1: of these running quarterbacks in the league now, the majority 864 00:44:52,239 --> 00:44:55,280 Speaker 1: of which can now run, it seems like a fair change. 865 00:44:55,920 --> 00:45:00,800 Speaker 1: So in essence, doing the tight rope to get another 866 00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:04,719 Speaker 1: first down is going to have consequences. So what you 867 00:45:04,800 --> 00:45:06,880 Speaker 1: gotta do is get as much as you can, but 868 00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:08,759 Speaker 1: do the tight rope on the other side out of 869 00:45:08,800 --> 00:45:10,320 Speaker 1: bounce and hope somebody hit you and you get to 870 00:45:10,560 --> 00:45:16,959 Speaker 1: draw the penalty. You're plotted, Yes, you are plotted. Cut 871 00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:19,759 Speaker 1: strategy might key, but I mean there has been what 872 00:45:19,760 --> 00:45:22,759 Speaker 1: we've seen in recent years from defenders is they have 873 00:45:22,920 --> 00:45:27,680 Speaker 1: pulled up in multiple situations with a quarterback, and the 874 00:45:27,800 --> 00:45:30,400 Speaker 1: quarterback knows they're gonna have to pull up, and so 875 00:45:30,440 --> 00:45:33,000 Speaker 1: they've taken advance. So they've taken advantage of that to 876 00:45:33,080 --> 00:45:36,600 Speaker 1: gain extra yardage. And the competition committee has said not cool, no, no, 877 00:45:36,680 --> 00:45:38,759 Speaker 1: and that's absolutely right, and I'm glad that they I'm 878 00:45:38,800 --> 00:45:40,840 Speaker 1: glad they zeroed in on this. It's kind of like 879 00:45:40,920 --> 00:45:42,839 Speaker 1: Kenny Pickett when he had the fake slide and then 880 00:45:42,840 --> 00:45:45,040 Speaker 1: took off running when he was in college. You know, 881 00:45:45,400 --> 00:45:49,040 Speaker 1: ran for fifty seven yards. The quarterbacks need to be protected, 882 00:45:49,480 --> 00:45:52,040 Speaker 1: but they also need to understand that once they put 883 00:45:52,080 --> 00:45:55,480 Speaker 1: themselves in a situation where they are a runner, then 884 00:45:55,520 --> 00:46:00,719 Speaker 1: they can get hit. Look out Tom Brady and it 885 00:46:00,760 --> 00:46:03,360 Speaker 1: all comes home right there, a lot of Tom Brady 886 00:46:03,400 --> 00:46:08,560 Speaker 1: hate here. I'm about in the room. They're coming for you, 887 00:46:08,600 --> 00:46:12,320 Speaker 1: all right. Okay, here's the next one. Once a runner's 888 00:46:12,400 --> 00:46:16,120 Speaker 1: progress has been clearly stopped, officials are being asked to 889 00:46:16,200 --> 00:46:19,480 Speaker 1: blow the play dead more quickly. The idea is that 890 00:46:19,560 --> 00:46:24,160 Speaker 1: fouls often occur in these situations where players are not 891 00:46:24,280 --> 00:46:27,560 Speaker 1: sure if the play is over both offensive and defensive players, 892 00:46:28,000 --> 00:46:30,400 Speaker 1: and this is the reason for a point of emphasis. 893 00:46:30,440 --> 00:46:32,480 Speaker 1: I think it's a good rule, and I think it 894 00:46:32,520 --> 00:46:35,000 Speaker 1: would help if the officials would actually do this. Just 895 00:46:35,080 --> 00:46:37,399 Speaker 1: go whistle blow the wayst you blow the whistle. Then 896 00:46:37,400 --> 00:46:39,839 Speaker 1: it's done. Just blow a whistle. And you know, a 897 00:46:39,880 --> 00:46:41,759 Speaker 1: lot of this and a lot of this comes from 898 00:46:41,760 --> 00:46:44,840 Speaker 1: you know, offensive lineman are coached too, and very right rightfully. 899 00:46:44,840 --> 00:46:47,160 Speaker 1: So if your runners still alive, go clean the pile. 900 00:46:47,480 --> 00:46:50,319 Speaker 1: If your runners still alive, go clean the pile. Defenders 901 00:46:50,360 --> 00:46:53,160 Speaker 1: are also the same way. If that pile is moving, 902 00:46:53,600 --> 00:46:55,759 Speaker 1: go in there and hit it, you know. And so 903 00:46:55,840 --> 00:46:58,920 Speaker 1: to me that it just makes sense because what happens 904 00:46:59,000 --> 00:47:01,320 Speaker 1: is the longer you extend it, the more out of 905 00:47:01,360 --> 00:47:04,799 Speaker 1: control it gets. Well, for two reasons. You have the 906 00:47:04,800 --> 00:47:08,479 Speaker 1: player's safety part of it, where lyman get ankles rolled 907 00:47:08,560 --> 00:47:11,399 Speaker 1: up on. And then the other part is and we've 908 00:47:11,400 --> 00:47:14,480 Speaker 1: seen Titans games where it got a little chippy, and 909 00:47:14,880 --> 00:47:18,040 Speaker 1: you know, maybe whoever comes to Nissan Stadium, they're not 910 00:47:18,080 --> 00:47:20,280 Speaker 1: a big fan of theirs, right, And so the longer 911 00:47:20,320 --> 00:47:23,080 Speaker 1: it goes, the more things like that escalate. I think 912 00:47:23,080 --> 00:47:26,560 Speaker 1: if they'll blow this dead early and often when this happens, 913 00:47:26,960 --> 00:47:29,320 Speaker 1: it's gonna be a benefit in both of those areas. 914 00:47:29,480 --> 00:47:34,000 Speaker 1: Are you for this? I'm always for player safety. Okay, 915 00:47:35,360 --> 00:47:38,560 Speaker 1: but but I think you're gonna say, but there's not 916 00:47:38,560 --> 00:47:43,040 Speaker 1: gonna be assert Tom Brady here, I knew you knew 917 00:47:43,080 --> 00:47:45,640 Speaker 1: I was gonna say that. I do like when things 918 00:47:45,680 --> 00:47:48,919 Speaker 1: get a little heated and a little feisty, so I mean, 919 00:47:49,360 --> 00:47:51,439 Speaker 1: just give it a beat. Then does that come from 920 00:47:51,440 --> 00:47:53,319 Speaker 1: when you and Jarell Casey got in a fight with 921 00:47:53,360 --> 00:47:56,320 Speaker 1: the Jaguars that year? Good time drug Casey and I 922 00:47:56,440 --> 00:47:59,480 Speaker 1: fight some people. Yeah. Probably. I really enjoyed being for 923 00:47:59,640 --> 00:48:06,240 Speaker 1: there to that story, all the stories. Two thousand, twenty 924 00:48:06,360 --> 00:48:08,880 Speaker 1: seventeen was so great. We're trying to make the playoffs. 925 00:48:08,960 --> 00:48:12,240 Speaker 1: We gotta beat jackson We just beat Jacksonville. Very exciting. 926 00:48:12,320 --> 00:48:16,360 Speaker 1: I'm supposed to interview Darrell Casey after the game. I 927 00:48:16,480 --> 00:48:19,480 Speaker 1: go up to him. We're on the field. All right, Charrell, 928 00:48:19,520 --> 00:48:22,120 Speaker 1: you're ready. I'm just waiting for the signal. Is great 929 00:48:22,440 --> 00:48:25,840 Speaker 1: the night? Darrell is the best? And so he said, yeah, sure, absolutely, 930 00:48:25,880 --> 00:48:29,160 Speaker 1: great game. He's all, you know, he's exhausted but excited 931 00:48:29,200 --> 00:48:31,880 Speaker 1: because they just won. And so we're standing there and 932 00:48:31,920 --> 00:48:33,680 Speaker 1: I'm waiting for them to give me the signal in 933 00:48:33,719 --> 00:48:36,840 Speaker 1: my ear to go and it's like okay, three two, 934 00:48:37,239 --> 00:48:40,399 Speaker 1: and some guy who played for the Jacks I don't 935 00:48:40,440 --> 00:48:43,160 Speaker 1: even remember who it was, came over and start talking 936 00:48:43,200 --> 00:48:46,520 Speaker 1: to Jarrell, and I hear Darrell say, man, you don't 937 00:48:46,520 --> 00:48:49,759 Speaker 1: want to do that, and I'm like, hey, wait a minute, no, no, no, no, yeah, 938 00:48:49,800 --> 00:48:53,399 Speaker 1: we can't go now. Wait and I turn around and 939 00:48:53,560 --> 00:48:56,759 Speaker 1: Jarrell's just throwing hands with this guy, and I was like, 940 00:48:56,920 --> 00:49:00,480 Speaker 1: this is it. I'm in a fight and it's happening 941 00:49:00,520 --> 00:49:04,480 Speaker 1: around me, so I'm involved. And then all of a sudden, 942 00:49:04,520 --> 00:49:06,879 Speaker 1: some of the other guys from like the defensive lines 943 00:49:06,920 --> 00:49:10,320 Speaker 1: start running over and here comes Brian Rackpo and Derek 944 00:49:10,400 --> 00:49:13,040 Speaker 1: Morgan's coming over at that time, and they're all getting 945 00:49:13,080 --> 00:49:15,520 Speaker 1: involved and I won't leave because I'm in. I'm part 946 00:49:15,560 --> 00:49:18,359 Speaker 1: of this. Now we're teammates, and so I'm looking around. 947 00:49:18,440 --> 00:49:20,200 Speaker 1: I'm looking for my guy. I don't have a guy 948 00:49:20,200 --> 00:49:24,000 Speaker 1: because nobody cares about me, but I'm looking and then 949 00:49:24,040 --> 00:49:26,160 Speaker 1: it kind of fizzles out and ends and the show's over. 950 00:49:26,640 --> 00:49:30,200 Speaker 1: But then Monday, I walk into the building and Brian 951 00:49:30,320 --> 00:49:32,960 Speaker 1: Rackpo comes up to me and goes, you didn't move 952 00:49:33,040 --> 00:49:36,080 Speaker 1: in that fight. I said, no, sir, I didn't, and 953 00:49:36,200 --> 00:49:40,120 Speaker 1: he said that was pretty hardcore. I said, yeah, it is, 954 00:49:40,239 --> 00:49:42,439 Speaker 1: and it's Brian A. Rackpo. So what he really said 955 00:49:42,560 --> 00:49:47,880 Speaker 1: was that was pretty hardcore. This is it. I'm a 956 00:49:47,960 --> 00:49:50,719 Speaker 1: fighter now. I just did it. So ever since then, 957 00:49:50,800 --> 00:49:53,120 Speaker 1: Darrell and I from time to time will recall the 958 00:49:53,239 --> 00:49:59,440 Speaker 1: time that we fought all of the Jags. So as 959 00:49:59,560 --> 00:50:03,320 Speaker 1: the year have gone on, it's gotten bigger and more intense, 960 00:50:03,760 --> 00:50:06,440 Speaker 1: and god, what a time to be alive. That was 961 00:50:06,480 --> 00:50:09,239 Speaker 1: so great. You were great. Yeah, I really, yeah, you 962 00:50:09,280 --> 00:50:12,560 Speaker 1: went from Titans amy to hardcore hardcore. But I do 963 00:50:12,719 --> 00:50:16,440 Speaker 1: really enjoy some scuffles time. How happy was she was? 964 00:50:16,600 --> 00:50:21,040 Speaker 1: She was so happy. She's so happy gratuitous violence Amy. No, No, 965 00:50:21,120 --> 00:50:24,760 Speaker 1: she was. She's the one that talks about player safety 966 00:50:24,800 --> 00:50:30,160 Speaker 1: being important when I've heard her tell the story since then, 967 00:50:30,280 --> 00:50:32,279 Speaker 1: and she's told it as to where she got a 968 00:50:32,280 --> 00:50:34,440 Speaker 1: guy in an armbar threw him on the ground and 969 00:50:34,560 --> 00:50:37,120 Speaker 1: put a choke hold on him, and the legend grows 970 00:50:37,200 --> 00:50:39,919 Speaker 1: every time she tells it. Right, Yeah, she's just took 971 00:50:39,960 --> 00:50:42,560 Speaker 1: up more and more every time. The truth of the 972 00:50:42,640 --> 00:50:46,680 Speaker 1: story is, though, when it started, she didn't move, and 973 00:50:46,719 --> 00:50:49,640 Speaker 1: there's a mature and they were two feet away from 974 00:50:49,640 --> 00:50:52,680 Speaker 1: her swinging wing it. It was it was on. It 975 00:50:52,760 --> 00:50:54,880 Speaker 1: was great, Amy. I was impressed. That's why she has 976 00:50:54,960 --> 00:50:57,000 Speaker 1: her own podcast. Now you're gonna clap for her again, 977 00:50:57,000 --> 00:51:00,840 Speaker 1: aren't you. Yeah, that's that's why I I'm still scared 978 00:51:00,880 --> 00:51:04,400 Speaker 1: of her. It was just greaton. See. This is the 979 00:51:04,480 --> 00:51:07,440 Speaker 1: fun of doing this, right. Yeah, all right? So the 980 00:51:07,560 --> 00:51:12,000 Speaker 1: last one illegal contact calls were down to thirty six 981 00:51:12,760 --> 00:51:18,279 Speaker 1: last year. The normal number is ninety seven. Wow, So 982 00:51:18,760 --> 00:51:21,840 Speaker 1: they are going to call illegal contact. The league wants 983 00:51:21,840 --> 00:51:26,160 Speaker 1: officials to focus on enforcement of the rule by abiding 984 00:51:26,160 --> 00:51:30,080 Speaker 1: by the strict interpretation that eligible receivers cannot be contacted 985 00:51:30,400 --> 00:51:35,240 Speaker 1: once five yards beyond the line of scrimmage. That can happen, however, 986 00:51:35,280 --> 00:51:37,960 Speaker 1: when the quarterback is outside the pocket. The league knows 987 00:51:38,080 --> 00:51:41,960 Speaker 1: that determination is difficult, but they are putting the pressure 988 00:51:41,960 --> 00:51:45,480 Speaker 1: on the cruise to a don't let defenders do this, 989 00:51:45,640 --> 00:51:48,840 Speaker 1: and make sure you have an idea as a group, 990 00:51:48,840 --> 00:51:51,800 Speaker 1: and you'll have to work together when the quarterback is 991 00:51:51,840 --> 00:51:55,360 Speaker 1: outside the pocket, because they think it's important not to 992 00:51:55,440 --> 00:51:58,640 Speaker 1: let guys get mugged past five yards. The only thing 993 00:51:58,680 --> 00:52:00,719 Speaker 1: that I hope that they that they worked through with 994 00:52:00,760 --> 00:52:03,040 Speaker 1: this and again, you know, I was with Jeff Fisher 995 00:52:03,080 --> 00:52:05,320 Speaker 1: for a lot of years. He was on the Competition Committee, 996 00:52:05,640 --> 00:52:07,360 Speaker 1: was the you know, co chair of that committee for 997 00:52:07,360 --> 00:52:11,920 Speaker 1: sixteen years. So I just hope that they get enough 998 00:52:12,160 --> 00:52:15,640 Speaker 1: of bright Light's vision on the fact that I really 999 00:52:15,640 --> 00:52:19,520 Speaker 1: don't like the contact away from the play. The contact 1000 00:52:19,520 --> 00:52:22,520 Speaker 1: away from the play is bothersome to me still, you know, 1001 00:52:22,560 --> 00:52:25,720 Speaker 1: And I hope that they put all of that into 1002 00:52:25,840 --> 00:52:27,960 Speaker 1: the purview when they're looking at it, much like what 1003 00:52:28,000 --> 00:52:31,600 Speaker 1: they've done with holding exactly. I hope that's what they do. 1004 00:52:31,640 --> 00:52:34,040 Speaker 1: You think there's a common theme in all of the 1005 00:52:34,560 --> 00:52:37,120 Speaker 1: areas I just mentioned, Amy, I think the common theme 1006 00:52:37,200 --> 00:52:41,080 Speaker 1: is common sense. I think that they have taken the 1007 00:52:41,200 --> 00:52:44,960 Speaker 1: rules and kind of brought them back into the realm 1008 00:52:45,120 --> 00:52:49,319 Speaker 1: of reflecting what actually happens in the game. I think 1009 00:52:49,360 --> 00:52:52,760 Speaker 1: for a while, you know, they really wanted to emphasize holding, 1010 00:52:52,880 --> 00:52:56,440 Speaker 1: so they called every holding instance on the field, no 1011 00:52:56,520 --> 00:52:58,520 Speaker 1: matter what it was, no matter where it happened. They 1012 00:52:58,560 --> 00:53:01,680 Speaker 1: really wanted to emphasize players safety, so they kind of 1013 00:53:02,120 --> 00:53:05,920 Speaker 1: maybe overprotected the quarterback a little bit. Now we're bringing 1014 00:53:05,920 --> 00:53:09,000 Speaker 1: it back into what is actually happening within the context 1015 00:53:09,040 --> 00:53:13,040 Speaker 1: of us your standard football game, and are making allowances 1016 00:53:13,160 --> 00:53:18,520 Speaker 1: for context and are making allowances for what is actually 1017 00:53:18,560 --> 00:53:21,160 Speaker 1: conceivably going to happen throughout the course of a game. 1018 00:53:21,280 --> 00:53:24,040 Speaker 1: So it seems to me that they're making the letter 1019 00:53:24,080 --> 00:53:26,840 Speaker 1: of the law reflect an actual football game a little 1020 00:53:26,840 --> 00:53:30,480 Speaker 1: bit more. And I really like that. I think, rhet 1021 00:53:30,520 --> 00:53:32,239 Speaker 1: you know, you and I've been doing this together for 1022 00:53:32,280 --> 00:53:34,719 Speaker 1: twenty five years, and everybody likes to talk about the 1023 00:53:34,719 --> 00:53:37,520 Speaker 1: good old days, and certainly we have memories going all 1024 00:53:37,560 --> 00:53:40,080 Speaker 1: the way back to the Memphish year and all of 1025 00:53:40,120 --> 00:53:43,000 Speaker 1: those sorts of things. But I have to say, and 1026 00:53:43,040 --> 00:53:45,040 Speaker 1: I thought this the other night in Baltimore, it's a 1027 00:53:45,080 --> 00:53:48,799 Speaker 1: better game with the rules that they have, even with 1028 00:53:48,840 --> 00:53:51,399 Speaker 1: some of the safety things. I know some people say, oh, 1029 00:53:51,440 --> 00:53:54,399 Speaker 1: it's too hand touch. I don't believe that. I think 1030 00:53:54,440 --> 00:53:58,399 Speaker 1: there's still physicality, but I think it's a better game. 1031 00:53:58,480 --> 00:54:00,840 Speaker 1: I thought that was a good pre season game the 1032 00:54:00,880 --> 00:54:03,920 Speaker 1: other night. It was maybe the second half of the 1033 00:54:03,960 --> 00:54:06,680 Speaker 1: fourth quarter when it got a little slip. Absolutely, And 1034 00:54:06,760 --> 00:54:09,000 Speaker 1: for anybody that wants to say it's two hand touch, 1035 00:54:09,320 --> 00:54:12,160 Speaker 1: ask any of these players. They'll show you the bruises, 1036 00:54:12,600 --> 00:54:16,800 Speaker 1: they'll show you how stiff and sore they are. But no, listen, 1037 00:54:16,840 --> 00:54:20,480 Speaker 1: I think Coach Max said it perfect. They had broad 1038 00:54:20,600 --> 00:54:26,040 Speaker 1: general rules that they have gone under some refinement to 1039 00:54:26,680 --> 00:54:30,719 Speaker 1: make this more of an applicable situation. It's why I 1040 00:54:30,760 --> 00:54:35,200 Speaker 1: believe the National Football League is the best product of 1041 00:54:35,239 --> 00:54:39,040 Speaker 1: the four major sports in North America, because they constantly 1042 00:54:39,080 --> 00:54:41,400 Speaker 1: are looking to make it better, not only for the 1043 00:54:41,400 --> 00:54:44,760 Speaker 1: players involved, but for all of you season ticket members 1044 00:54:44,760 --> 00:54:47,160 Speaker 1: who are going to watch every week. I like what 1045 00:54:47,640 --> 00:54:49,920 Speaker 1: Amy's answer was great. I mean it really was. Mike 1046 00:54:50,000 --> 00:54:52,880 Speaker 1: said common theme and she said common sense, and I 1047 00:54:52,920 --> 00:54:56,200 Speaker 1: think that covers it. I think that's that just says 1048 00:54:56,200 --> 00:54:58,880 Speaker 1: it all. Great job, coach, You've given us a good 1049 00:54:58,920 --> 00:55:02,200 Speaker 1: summary today. Well I'm not smart. No, you are. You're 1050 00:55:02,320 --> 00:55:05,399 Speaker 1: very smart, and these people produce you appreciate Coach mac Lay. 1051 00:55:07,040 --> 00:55:09,480 Speaker 1: All right, this is the first time I've met all 1052 00:55:09,520 --> 00:55:12,560 Speaker 1: of these people, so I want them to think I'm smart. Okay, 1053 00:55:12,680 --> 00:55:14,520 Speaker 1: once they listen to me, Well, don't let him tell 1054 00:55:14,560 --> 00:55:17,120 Speaker 1: you he's not smart, because that's not true. They'll figure 1055 00:55:17,160 --> 00:55:19,080 Speaker 1: out that I'm not. No, No, let him think that 1056 00:55:19,120 --> 00:55:21,600 Speaker 1: when they leave today. All right, so let's update a 1057 00:55:21,640 --> 00:55:24,400 Speaker 1: couple of things going on.
