You know the 53 00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 1: Bantam you know this is my it's not my I 54 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:16,839 Speaker 1: know you guys had a podcast, but the setup and 55 00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:21,799 Speaker 1: everything that's going on the live interactive podcast. I like that. 56 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,960 Speaker 1: We're we're moving on up, you know, keeping up with it. 57 00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:30,040 Speaker 1: We start with we start with headlines every single day. 58 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:32,960 Speaker 1: So let us begin and get Keith's bullocks reaction to 59 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:37,560 Speaker 1: the headlines of the day. Nick Bosa, Ohio State edge 60 00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:42,360 Speaker 1: Rusher reportedly according to a guy that I really enjoy 61 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:46,920 Speaker 1: and follow. Tom Pellisero UM NFL Networks on Tom Pellisero. 62 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,640 Speaker 1: He says that he is going to visit the entire 63 00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:54,360 Speaker 1: top six in the draft within the next couple of weeks. 64 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:57,839 Speaker 1: That means Nick Bosa will go to Arizona, San Francisco, 65 00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:01,440 Speaker 1: the New York Jets, Oakland, Tampa, and the New York Giants. 66 00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:04,720 Speaker 1: Give me your thoughts on the fact that all six 67 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:07,640 Speaker 1: of those teams want to see Nick Bosa. Keith Bullock, 68 00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:11,600 Speaker 1: I think, you know, all six of those teams are 69 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:14,240 Speaker 1: going to be in position to draft him, so if 70 00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:17,280 Speaker 1: they're not familiar with him, they get an opportunity to 71 00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:21,320 Speaker 1: see him get familiar with him. I doubt he'll be 72 00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:24,919 Speaker 1: working out this close to draft time, but um, you know, 73 00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:27,320 Speaker 1: get him on the blackboard to see what his football 74 00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:29,520 Speaker 1: IQ was like and just to see what he's like 75 00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:33,400 Speaker 1: as a person. You know, these draft picks are investments, 76 00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:37,279 Speaker 1: and you want to make sure that you're getting the 77 00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:39,719 Speaker 1: right and you know you're getting the most for your money. 78 00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:43,680 Speaker 1: And then also, I'm sure some gems and coaches want 79 00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:47,440 Speaker 1: to you know, speak to him and about when he left, 80 00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:51,560 Speaker 1: you know, his Ohio state team to get prepared for 81 00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:53,840 Speaker 1: his future in the NFL. I don't know if they 82 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,080 Speaker 1: I don't see anything wrong with it, but I'm sure 83 00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:59,040 Speaker 1: some people do question it. I don't want to be pessimistic. 84 00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:01,520 Speaker 1: And I've seen him work out, I've seen him play. 85 00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:03,000 Speaker 1: I know he's a good player. I know he's a 86 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:06,680 Speaker 1: great player. How much of the interest that teams are 87 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,200 Speaker 1: having in him is because of his name and because 88 00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:13,840 Speaker 1: of his brother's name. I mean, that's that's honestly, that's 89 00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:16,960 Speaker 1: what I have to go with because you know, you 90 00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,719 Speaker 1: think about Joey Bosa at Ohio State, they're kind of 91 00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:21,560 Speaker 1: we're the same player. And I'm the type of person 92 00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:25,560 Speaker 1: I don't really get to hype over a college player 93 00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:29,640 Speaker 1: unless they're you know that guy, you know, m Leonard 94 00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:31,719 Speaker 1: Fournette was someone you can tell when he got into 95 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:36,760 Speaker 1: the NFL he's gonna be, you know, a superstar amongst 96 00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:38,480 Speaker 1: other players. That was just off the top of my head. 97 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:41,479 Speaker 1: I didn't see that in Joey Bosa, nor did he 98 00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:45,599 Speaker 1: get that hype coming out. But he got into the 99 00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:48,680 Speaker 1: NFL and he's shown he's proven that when he's on 100 00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:51,200 Speaker 1: that San Diego defense and he's out there, he makes 101 00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:54,000 Speaker 1: it that much better. Um, he makes a good defense, 102 00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:58,640 Speaker 1: oh that much better. So his brother looks the same. 103 00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:01,760 Speaker 1: He looks to be the same players better. Yeah, I 104 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,600 Speaker 1: mean two in two thousand and seventeen he was better 105 00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:08,520 Speaker 1: than Joey was. And so if you're going with the 106 00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:12,560 Speaker 1: bit about basing it on his brother, and you're saying, okay, 107 00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:16,200 Speaker 1: Joey looked like this and he turned out like this, well, 108 00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:19,960 Speaker 1: to Amy's point, Nick looks like this, so we expect 109 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,960 Speaker 1: him to turn out just the same. Is that a 110 00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:25,479 Speaker 1: fair jump to make? I think it's a good question, 111 00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:28,520 Speaker 1: but gosh, I mean with you know, the lenage, his 112 00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:32,640 Speaker 1: dad was a good player. They've been trained to be players, 113 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,640 Speaker 1: you know, So what he doesn't run the fastest forty? 114 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:38,680 Speaker 1: I mean, they get it. And then it goes to 115 00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:42,120 Speaker 1: you know, JJ WHT and TJ WHTE Right, No, you 116 00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:44,760 Speaker 1: wouldn't have said t J. White is gonna be the 117 00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:48,040 Speaker 1: player that he's been in two years. But he's only TJ. 118 00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:51,520 Speaker 1: It's only played in his second year thirteen sacks, and 119 00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:53,800 Speaker 1: he's he's a baller, so you know, and he's the 120 00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:56,000 Speaker 1: type of player that wants to learn and get better. 121 00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:59,719 Speaker 1: So you know, I think, um, you know, it's fair 122 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:02,080 Speaker 1: to say day in this day and age, when you 123 00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:04,640 Speaker 1: know the brothers kind of come behind each other. It's 124 00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:07,839 Speaker 1: been following suit. Let's jump in here because we have 125 00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:11,360 Speaker 1: our first question. We do we interrupt headlines for just 126 00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:15,560 Speaker 1: a moment for our first ever question this quickly, So 127 00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:19,880 Speaker 1: thank you for responding with this. One's from Michael and 128 00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:22,160 Speaker 1: he would like to know where do the Titans need 129 00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:24,920 Speaker 1: to improve the most on defense? Um. I think the 130 00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:28,000 Speaker 1: Titans need to get some some heat on the quarterback, 131 00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:32,600 Speaker 1: you know, um, with the rack Pole leaving. Uh. You know, 132 00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:35,320 Speaker 1: Hoyle Landy had a good year last year for a rookie. 133 00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:37,360 Speaker 1: I think he'll be He got a lot of snaps, 134 00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:40,960 Speaker 1: so he'll definitely be more settled into the defense, um, 135 00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:43,720 Speaker 1: coming too his own and kind of you know, be 136 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:48,000 Speaker 1: able to be more instinctive, um when he's on the 137 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:51,760 Speaker 1: field this year instead of just kind of reading and reacting. Uh. 138 00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:55,119 Speaker 1: And I think that's just on both ends, you know. Um, 139 00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:59,560 Speaker 1: you know Derek Morgan, he's no longer around and you 140 00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:04,040 Speaker 1: know obviously that's where Harold Landry stepped up last year. 141 00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:06,960 Speaker 1: But you know, to just bring some guys in to 142 00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:09,040 Speaker 1: put some of them some heat on the quarterback, I think, 143 00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:12,440 Speaker 1: you know, obviously the Titans have a phenomenal blitz package. 144 00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:14,560 Speaker 1: But in the three four defense, when you can just 145 00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:18,320 Speaker 1: get sacks from your outside rushers, I think that that 146 00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:21,200 Speaker 1: makes it even better and helps you in coverage situations. 147 00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:24,800 Speaker 1: All right, let's go back to headlines. Next is about 148 00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:28,720 Speaker 1: the new Broncos head coach Vic Fangio. Mike Cliss, who 149 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:34,000 Speaker 1: is a longtime writer in Denver and now works in television, 150 00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:37,839 Speaker 1: quotes running back Philip Lindsay on new head coach Vic 151 00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:40,840 Speaker 1: Fangio by saying, quote, he's already had a few words 152 00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:43,800 Speaker 1: for us. He's a no nonsense coach. He's going to 153 00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:47,040 Speaker 1: be old school. I wouldn't be surprised if mini camp 154 00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:50,640 Speaker 1: and training camp it's like nineteen sixties, back in the 155 00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:55,559 Speaker 1: day we need it now. What he's saying is it's 156 00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:59,160 Speaker 1: gonna be like a boot camp. So my question, I 157 00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:02,040 Speaker 1: have two questions for you, Keith, based on this. First 158 00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:03,880 Speaker 1: of all, I don't think Vic Fangio is going to 159 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:07,000 Speaker 1: go that far right. I think Vic Fangio understands the 160 00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:12,880 Speaker 1: players of today. But even if a coach wanted to, hey, 161 00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:15,440 Speaker 1: I don't think you could do that stuff and be 162 00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:19,400 Speaker 1: I don't think the collective bargaining agreement allows you to 163 00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:22,720 Speaker 1: do the Oklahoma drill and bull in the ring and all. 164 00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:25,760 Speaker 1: You know, you can't be in full pads every practice. 165 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:28,800 Speaker 1: You only practice once a day. So I don't think 166 00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:32,480 Speaker 1: young mister Lindsay has much to worry about in this way. Yeah. 167 00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:34,679 Speaker 1: I don't think so either. And you know, I was 168 00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:38,200 Speaker 1: just looking up Vic Fangio was born in nineteen fifty eight, 169 00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:41,560 Speaker 1: so I don't think he even remembers what the nineteen 170 00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:44,160 Speaker 1: sixty training camp was like. I can only go back 171 00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:47,000 Speaker 1: maybe as far as you know, hearing about the eighties 172 00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:48,800 Speaker 1: and the nineties, and of course and I played in 173 00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:51,280 Speaker 1: two thousand, but every I agree with everything that you 174 00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:55,800 Speaker 1: said in the sense that you know there aren't enough practices, 175 00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:59,719 Speaker 1: there aren't enough padded practices, And you're right, they're not 176 00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:03,400 Speaker 1: gonna waste their time with Oklahoma drills and those sort 177 00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:05,600 Speaker 1: of things when they have to work on game plan 178 00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:07,679 Speaker 1: things and see their players and they don't get too 179 00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:11,760 Speaker 1: many opportunities to see their players in pads. I think 180 00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:14,080 Speaker 1: what you can really equate that to meaning is they're 181 00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:16,480 Speaker 1: gonna be physical, they're gonna run the ball, they're gonna 182 00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:19,319 Speaker 1: play between the tackles, and they're gonna get after people 183 00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:22,520 Speaker 1: this year. So Vic Fangioel is coming in with a 184 00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:27,240 Speaker 1: confidence that you know, mister Lindsay just probably maybe you've 185 00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:29,920 Speaker 1: never heard before. And you know, everyone in Cleveland right 186 00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:32,600 Speaker 1: now is excited. So you know, I was just up 187 00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:34,640 Speaker 1: there last week. There's nothing to be excited about. It 188 00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:39,840 Speaker 1: was snowing, all right. So speaking of Cleveland, can I 189 00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:42,800 Speaker 1: move on to headline number three? Please Browns. This is 190 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:46,679 Speaker 1: from the Akron Beacon Journal Ohio dot com. Brown's host 191 00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:50,480 Speaker 1: Mississippi State defensive tackle Jeffrey Simmons for a pre draft visit. 192 00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:54,520 Speaker 1: Jeffrey Simmons might be one of the top of the 193 00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:58,079 Speaker 1: five best players in this draft. He is something else, 194 00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:02,000 Speaker 1: but he had an incident coming out of high school, 195 00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:06,040 Speaker 1: which was a very serious incident, and then he suffered 196 00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:10,559 Speaker 1: a torn anterior cruciate ligament while training in February. So 197 00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:13,280 Speaker 1: he's got those two things. And I wonder, Keith Bullock, 198 00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:17,040 Speaker 1: how many pre draft visits did you take? I think 199 00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:23,480 Speaker 1: I took two or three. Okay, So if you're Jeffrey 200 00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:27,560 Speaker 1: Simmons and you have this incident from high school, and 201 00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:30,240 Speaker 1: you haven't had any off field problems while at Mississippi 202 00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:33,360 Speaker 1: State and you're coming off a knee injury, and so 203 00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:37,000 Speaker 1: what you know is there are questions what is it 204 00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:41,360 Speaker 1: most important for Jeffrey Simmons to do when he meets 205 00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:43,959 Speaker 1: with teams? What is the most important thing for him 206 00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:47,480 Speaker 1: to get across? Well, I think it just depends on 207 00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:50,800 Speaker 1: the questions they're asking. Obviously, physically it is what it is. 208 00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:53,880 Speaker 1: You know, he's hurt, He's going to take the time 209 00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:56,959 Speaker 1: to get back, and I think that physically he'll be 210 00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:59,080 Speaker 1: able to come back. Fine. He's a young kid. I 211 00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:02,480 Speaker 1: believe he's a junior. He's leaving early. So it's almost 212 00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:05,120 Speaker 1: like if he gets drafted, you can look at this 213 00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:08,800 Speaker 1: as his senior year. I probably wouldn't even play him 214 00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:12,880 Speaker 1: this year if I did draft him. But now, from 215 00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:16,760 Speaker 1: you know, a character standpoint, which is very important in 216 00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:19,600 Speaker 1: this day and age, I feel that it's very it's 217 00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:23,120 Speaker 1: important to the stress that. Look, I haven't done anything 218 00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:26,920 Speaker 1: since that time. He's obviously learned, he's been about his 219 00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:29,600 Speaker 1: football because each year that he's been at Mississippi State 220 00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:34,559 Speaker 1: he has gotten better as a football player. But yeah, 221 00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:38,840 Speaker 1: you know, as if I'm the GM, I'm looking at 222 00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:41,120 Speaker 1: it like that, like I feel like this kid is 223 00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:45,319 Speaker 1: about his football and even this injury in his mind 224 00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:49,440 Speaker 1: might be like the karma for whatever you know, for 225 00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:52,640 Speaker 1: his past transgressions. When you see this guy, you see 226 00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:56,200 Speaker 1: ninety four right there making the tackle, when he stands 227 00:12:56,280 --> 00:13:00,240 Speaker 1: up and you see him physically, we could just stop 228 00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:04,359 Speaker 1: it right there. There is not a better looking prospect 229 00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:08,600 Speaker 1: in this draft. I mean, he might very well be 230 00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:13,200 Speaker 1: my very favorite football player that I've seen. That guy 231 00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:15,439 Speaker 1: is a beast. We saw him work out at some 232 00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:18,680 Speaker 1: sort of All Star combine before he hurt the knee. 233 00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:21,800 Speaker 1: Amy we were looking at the video. It's crazy. I mean, 234 00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:24,199 Speaker 1: he is a physical specimen. Oh God, we know he's 235 00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:26,440 Speaker 1: a good football player. I think when he's going to 236 00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:29,840 Speaker 1: these teams and on these visits, obviously they're asking questions 237 00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:33,080 Speaker 1: about his health and how he's progressing and healing that injury, 238 00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:36,880 Speaker 1: but I think they're also asking for context. We kind 239 00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:41,200 Speaker 1: of know what happened and what some of his issues 240 00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:43,120 Speaker 1: were coming out of the Well. The off the field 241 00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:48,160 Speaker 1: incident was he got in the middle of an altercation 242 00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:51,000 Speaker 1: between a woman and either his sister or his mother. 243 00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:53,480 Speaker 1: I've never a member of his family. Yeah, and he 244 00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:56,720 Speaker 1: struck the other woman right, He got in the middle 245 00:13:56,760 --> 00:14:00,840 Speaker 1: of it. And certainly, I mean, we've seen the incident, 246 00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:07,160 Speaker 1: it's on video. As a female, obviously your reaction to 247 00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:10,560 Speaker 1: me is more important than mine. Well, Maria, obviously it 248 00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:12,800 Speaker 1: makes you sick to your stomach when you ever see 249 00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:16,040 Speaker 1: someone put their hands on a woman. And but on 250 00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:19,600 Speaker 1: the other hand, it looks like there's a story there. 251 00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:23,480 Speaker 1: It looks like there is a bigger issue. Obviously, you 252 00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:26,640 Speaker 1: should never conduct yourself in that way, but it looks 253 00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:29,080 Speaker 1: like there is something there, there's more to the story. 254 00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:31,120 Speaker 1: And that's where I think the context is such a 255 00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:33,240 Speaker 1: big deal. Teams that are vetting this guy who want 256 00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:35,920 Speaker 1: him to be part of his organization, that's what they're 257 00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:38,440 Speaker 1: looking for. They're looking for the context. They're trying to 258 00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:41,520 Speaker 1: figure out what it is that happened there, Not to 259 00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:43,760 Speaker 1: make it okay, not to say that that's the way 260 00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:48,080 Speaker 1: that he should have conducted himself, but what led up 261 00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:50,680 Speaker 1: to that point, what was going on in that moment? 262 00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:53,440 Speaker 1: And then where has he gone since then? There have 263 00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:56,560 Speaker 1: been years since then, so trying to figure out, okay, 264 00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:58,720 Speaker 1: where does he stand on it now? It's all about 265 00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:01,720 Speaker 1: getting context and getting the bigger picture for these organizations 266 00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:04,760 Speaker 1: right now and UM, I didn't even know. I just 267 00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:06,400 Speaker 1: want to add one Moren't that I didn't even know 268 00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:11,080 Speaker 1: what actually happened with him, but hearing the hearing the 269 00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:13,720 Speaker 1: details of it. Um, The way I kind of sum 270 00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:16,240 Speaker 1: it up is he was a seventeen year old kid 271 00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:20,320 Speaker 1: and he was standing in front of you know, in 272 00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:23,680 Speaker 1: between it was a family situation that he probably should 273 00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:27,280 Speaker 1: not have even got in, and no doubt probably now 274 00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:32,040 Speaker 1: at twenty twenty one, he realizes those things. But um, 275 00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:35,200 Speaker 1: like to what Amy was alluding to, there is more 276 00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:37,960 Speaker 1: context there that we don't necessarily know, and that's what 277 00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:40,240 Speaker 1: the NFL with trying to find out. Those are the 278 00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:44,240 Speaker 1: morning headlines. Let's move on to questions for Keith Bullock. 279 00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:49,680 Speaker 1: What do you remember about your two thousand draft experience? Um, 280 00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:53,360 Speaker 1: it was, it's definitely it's definitely was nothing like it 281 00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:56,600 Speaker 1: is today, like with social media and in all these 282 00:15:56,680 --> 00:16:00,640 Speaker 1: different things. UM. I just remember it kind of being 283 00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:03,280 Speaker 1: like a day like today, you know, like it was 284 00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:06,240 Speaker 1: kind of like overcast. It was about look at young 285 00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:11,520 Speaker 1: Keith something degrees. That's actually the day after the draft, 286 00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:14,600 Speaker 1: like I flew in, Um, the day after the draft, 287 00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:17,800 Speaker 1: I have my student on EK came with the polo 288 00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:22,160 Speaker 1: Aaron Kenny. You know, um, but it was cool, man. Um. 289 00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:24,520 Speaker 1: I just wanted to get down the business, you know. 290 00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:27,960 Speaker 1: I just you know, it wasn't like the whole show 291 00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:30,920 Speaker 1: that it is now. You know, um, and have no 292 00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:34,840 Speaker 1: Twitter followers or Instagram followers. I just wanted to get 293 00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:38,680 Speaker 1: down the business. Well can you even imagine now in 294 00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:42,240 Speaker 1: twenty nineteen, what Draft night is going to be like 295 00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:45,360 Speaker 1: for these guys, not only with all the social media 296 00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:49,560 Speaker 1: and that stuff, but being in downtown Nashville. Yeah, it's 297 00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:53,120 Speaker 1: it's they're gonna it's gonna be the time of their life. Um. 298 00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:56,040 Speaker 1: And it's just I just thought of someone I said, 299 00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:58,600 Speaker 1: I like, was I wanted to get down the business, 300 00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:01,960 Speaker 1: get here, learn play, you know all those things that 301 00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:04,280 Speaker 1: came with being drafted as the number one pick in 302 00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:09,040 Speaker 1: the NFL, and even more so Javon Kurse just had 303 00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:11,480 Speaker 1: one rookie the other year. Yeah, so you don't even 304 00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:13,199 Speaker 1: know what position you're gonna be in. You just know 305 00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:17,160 Speaker 1: that you're the first round pick. So there was more 306 00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:21,720 Speaker 1: of a business mentality for me, whereas these guys, it's 307 00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:24,400 Speaker 1: a show, you know what I mean, they've been it's 308 00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:26,960 Speaker 1: a show since they've been in high school and if 309 00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:31,240 Speaker 1: they're able to you know, you know, make it through 310 00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:35,800 Speaker 1: the you know, the obstacles that faced them in college 311 00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:37,919 Speaker 1: and get to the point where they can get to 312 00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:42,560 Speaker 1: they made it, so man, I can I can only 313 00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:44,879 Speaker 1: imagine how late they are. And to be in a 314 00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:48,679 Speaker 1: city like Nashville, which I'm sure a lot of them 315 00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:51,800 Speaker 1: have never been in. Nashville always rolls out the red 316 00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:55,040 Speaker 1: carpet when they you know, a big ventice here, and 317 00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:58,080 Speaker 1: you know, I'm definitely looking forward to see how the 318 00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:03,159 Speaker 1: city does it. And then you know, after about a 319 00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:06,120 Speaker 1: couple I think when do they go to camp these 320 00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:07,840 Speaker 1: days or if they first have to go hang out 321 00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:10,600 Speaker 1: with their teams, they'll do two weeks after the draft, 322 00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:14,320 Speaker 1: they'll do the rookie minicamps, and then they'll start pretty 323 00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:19,159 Speaker 1: much right away. They begin the Titans first, Ota is 324 00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:22,120 Speaker 1: made the twentieth all right, cool, but see like even 325 00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:25,080 Speaker 1: like and and and then that's when it kind of 326 00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:28,120 Speaker 1: like all the mystique and everything kind of wears off 327 00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:29,919 Speaker 1: and you get down the business. But I feel like 328 00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:34,640 Speaker 1: even now, man, it's like kind of it's it's it's 329 00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:37,040 Speaker 1: I don't want to be too hard. It's like a 330 00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:40,520 Speaker 1: it's like a cakewalk a little bit to me in 331 00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:44,560 Speaker 1: my eyes when it comes to like the OTAs and 332 00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:48,040 Speaker 1: like the training, the training camps and stuff like that, 333 00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:51,720 Speaker 1: because they're not asked to do as much. I guess 334 00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:53,959 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. To be fair, I'm not 335 00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:57,240 Speaker 1: saying the guys aren't coming out and putting their individual working. 336 00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:01,600 Speaker 1: I'm just saying for what was asked in two thousand 337 00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:05,720 Speaker 1: to two thousand and nineteen, Um, Yeah, it was just 338 00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:08,320 Speaker 1: it was I just remember it being a lot of 339 00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:12,280 Speaker 1: hard work. I remember being at the Millennial Maxwell House, well, 340 00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:17,200 Speaker 1: Frank Chamberlain was my roommate, resident Piece and those green 341 00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:22,720 Speaker 1: walls man. Sixteen weeks of it, they brought us here. 342 00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:24,320 Speaker 1: I feel like like we got I feel like I 343 00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:27,760 Speaker 1: got drafted. I came here for a day to do 344 00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:30,280 Speaker 1: all that stuff and then went back home and then 345 00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:32,160 Speaker 1: came back a week. And they had us here from 346 00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:36,000 Speaker 1: like May and June, and then went home like like 347 00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:38,280 Speaker 1: you would go till the end of June. They will 348 00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:40,840 Speaker 1: finish this year on June the thirteenth. You used to 349 00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:43,800 Speaker 1: go into the last week of June, and you started 350 00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:46,119 Speaker 1: a month earlier, and we stayed here like at the 351 00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:49,439 Speaker 1: millennial Maxwell House, like we stayed here and it's not 352 00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:53,399 Speaker 1: like school was in. You know, Keith Bullocks looking for 353 00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:57,840 Speaker 1: those nineteen sixty style practices. That's what I'm here. But 354 00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:00,399 Speaker 1: it's only fitting that with Keith Bullock here we would 355 00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:05,000 Speaker 1: preview the two thousand nineteen crop of linebackers in this draft. 356 00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:11,640 Speaker 1: It is not a heralded group except for two. If 357 00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:15,640 Speaker 1: you're looking for an impact inside linebacker, you're looking for 358 00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:19,640 Speaker 1: one of the devins, Devin Bush from Michigan or Devin 359 00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:24,560 Speaker 1: White from LSU. White is probably the more highly regarded 360 00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:28,040 Speaker 1: of the two due to his versatility. What this kid 361 00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:30,840 Speaker 1: can do. He can run and cover, which is extremely 362 00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:34,960 Speaker 1: valuable on today's NFL. You can blitz him. He's extremely explosive, 363 00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:38,040 Speaker 1: just maybe a tick below Roquan Smith and what we 364 00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:39,760 Speaker 1: saw from him, and we know how great he was 365 00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:42,640 Speaker 1: with the Bears last year. This gets wired the right 366 00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:45,560 Speaker 1: way as a leader. Everything you hear about him off 367 00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:47,440 Speaker 1: the field is off the charts. So if you're looking 368 00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:49,800 Speaker 1: for an inside linebacker they can play sideline to sideline 369 00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:52,480 Speaker 1: and cover, that's your guy. But Devin Bush could be 370 00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:57,320 Speaker 1: your guy because this Michigan linebacker is gifted sideline to 371 00:20:57,359 --> 00:21:01,240 Speaker 1: sideline playmaker. Arguably the best blitzing linebacker in the draft. 372 00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:03,560 Speaker 1: Does a great job of making tackles against the run, 373 00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:06,240 Speaker 1: but it's also a natural leader. Is everything that you 374 00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:09,720 Speaker 1: look for, and an inside linebacker just a little undersize 375 00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:10,960 Speaker 1: that could be the only not because you can have 376 00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:14,280 Speaker 1: a guest after Devin Bush and Devin White, There's not 377 00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:17,920 Speaker 1: a lot of consensus about the rest of the inside linebackers. 378 00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:23,000 Speaker 1: Some experts, however, feel strongly about Mac Wilson from Alabama. 379 00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:25,199 Speaker 1: Script In my game, I feel like it's my ability 380 00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:28,920 Speaker 1: to play in the linebackers position and my ability to 381 00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:32,120 Speaker 1: be able to run sideline, the sideline, cover tight ends, 382 00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:35,240 Speaker 1: cover running backs, blicks tacho. You know, I feel like 383 00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:37,639 Speaker 1: I can do it all, and you know that's something 384 00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:39,520 Speaker 1: that you know I'm gonna continue to work on and 385 00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:43,640 Speaker 1: just continue to keep moving forward. You want some athleticism 386 00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:47,720 Speaker 1: and inside linebacker, you could be talking Blake Cashman, the 387 00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:51,359 Speaker 1: former Minnesota walk on who blew up at the NFL combine, 388 00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:57,480 Speaker 1: Jordan Jones from Kentucky, Vashon Joseph from Florida, Dakota Allen 389 00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:02,360 Speaker 1: from Texas Tech, Terrell Hanks from New Mexico, State, Tayvon 390 00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:08,120 Speaker 1: Coney from Notre Dame, or former safety Germaine Prat who 391 00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:11,359 Speaker 1: grew into a big time linebacker at NC State. I 392 00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:14,240 Speaker 1: was already naturally strong, so it didn't really make a 393 00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:16,360 Speaker 1: big difference. It is like this helped my mental game. 394 00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:18,720 Speaker 1: I think the game is more mental than physical, because 395 00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:20,680 Speaker 1: somebody can just be running around, don't know what they're 396 00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:23,560 Speaker 1: doing and being physical, but they just ain't in the 397 00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:25,560 Speaker 1: right place at the right time. So I think this 398 00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:27,560 Speaker 1: mental is more you know what I mean. I watched 399 00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:29,440 Speaker 1: more film. I had more time to watch film and 400 00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:33,200 Speaker 1: study myself, refresh my mind and just become a better 401 00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:36,719 Speaker 1: player all the way around. Some teams simply want production 402 00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:41,920 Speaker 1: at linebacker, regardless of size. For that reason, some analysts 403 00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:47,520 Speaker 1: love ben Burg Curvin from Washington or Texas stand out 404 00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:49,920 Speaker 1: Gary Johnson. For me, you know a lot of people 405 00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:51,720 Speaker 1: talk about my sauce, you know that I'm not big 406 00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:54,639 Speaker 1: enough or you know me, you know, being able to 407 00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:57,640 Speaker 1: fight off blocks. But you know, I think otherwise today's 408 00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:00,760 Speaker 1: game was you know, more of smaller, you know linebacker. 409 00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:04,200 Speaker 1: So I feel like I'd be capable, capable to play 410 00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:06,159 Speaker 1: just like any other linebacker desk, you know, playing it 411 00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:09,040 Speaker 1: today's game. A local guy to watch in this mix 412 00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:13,320 Speaker 1: is Franklin native Terrell Dotson, the Texas A and m 413 00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:18,240 Speaker 1: products long term potential. Maybe his most intriguing attribute A 414 00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:20,120 Speaker 1: little bit of a surprise. He came out. I did 415 00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:21,640 Speaker 1: not think you would come out. I thought he would 416 00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:24,520 Speaker 1: go back to school. But he's an athletic linebacker. Again, 417 00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:27,560 Speaker 1: somebody can really really go, can really run. Might be 418 00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:30,080 Speaker 1: a little bit of a developmental period with him, you know, 419 00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:32,080 Speaker 1: I think you draft him for more what you're probably 420 00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:35,200 Speaker 1: gonna get year two, year three than those immediate returns. 421 00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:37,639 Speaker 1: But because of his skill set, you throw him on 422 00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:39,600 Speaker 1: special teams right away and he's gonna help you there. 423 00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:47,520 Speaker 1: All right, Keith Bullock, are there any linebackers that we 424 00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:51,119 Speaker 1: just saw that you really think highly of? Um? I 425 00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:54,640 Speaker 1: think Mike hit it on the head with the two devins, 426 00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:58,520 Speaker 1: Devin Bush and Devin White. These are two kids I've 427 00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:03,200 Speaker 1: actually seen since high school. Um. It's funny because Devin 428 00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:06,840 Speaker 1: White was a big time running back in high school 429 00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:10,400 Speaker 1: and I told him, man, you need to you need 430 00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:13,600 Speaker 1: to go take your behind and play linebacker because it 431 00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:16,800 Speaker 1: was we're in seven on seven tournaments and you know, 432 00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:20,199 Speaker 1: swing pad you're not effective. And it was just at 433 00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:22,280 Speaker 1: the opening, the Nike opening and stuff. He was on 434 00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:24,800 Speaker 1: my team and he's not. You're just not as effective 435 00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:28,359 Speaker 1: if we had pads on and seven on seven and 436 00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:30,760 Speaker 1: then you being the big bruiser that you are, and 437 00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:35,399 Speaker 1: then you were gonna be behind um Fournett and Geis 438 00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:37,399 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So it's one of those 439 00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:39,720 Speaker 1: things that you might want to think about. And it's funny. 440 00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:42,359 Speaker 1: I saw him this summer. I was like, I told you, 441 00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:45,040 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So um and then, Um, 442 00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:48,920 Speaker 1: Devin Bush. I like him. He was like a safety 443 00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:52,560 Speaker 1: in high school, a small safety roverback. But me personally, 444 00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:57,080 Speaker 1: I don't. I think I would go with Devin Bush first. 445 00:24:57,200 --> 00:25:00,520 Speaker 1: Then this this is just because I feel like he's 446 00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:04,600 Speaker 1: a more instinctive linebacker. And you know, Um, when I 447 00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:06,760 Speaker 1: look at film and I watched these linebackers and I 448 00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:09,840 Speaker 1: watched them play in just games, not highlights, I look 449 00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:12,520 Speaker 1: for how instinctive they are. You know, Um, is that 450 00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:17,080 Speaker 1: the most important trait? Um? No, I wouldn't say that's 451 00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:21,280 Speaker 1: the Yeah, good instincts is a great trait to have. 452 00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:25,840 Speaker 1: If you can have good instincts naturally good linebacker instincts naturally, 453 00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:28,560 Speaker 1: it's a great trait to have, like for like you know, 454 00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:31,240 Speaker 1: reading and scraping. You know, when I when I see 455 00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:34,040 Speaker 1: in the linebacker at at certain levels reading and scraping. 456 00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:36,920 Speaker 1: I remember at the high school level, Roquan Smith was 457 00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:40,000 Speaker 1: great at reading and scraping. Um, you know, getting over 458 00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:43,320 Speaker 1: the piles on you know, poles, turnings, or you know, 459 00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:45,760 Speaker 1: just being being direct. And you see a lot of 460 00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:48,800 Speaker 1: that in Devin White's game, um, because once he sees it, 461 00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:51,320 Speaker 1: he goes and he hits it, you know. Um. But 462 00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:54,919 Speaker 1: I think that Devin Bush, uh, it's more of a 463 00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:59,800 Speaker 1: more of a short tackler. I feel, Um, Devin White, 464 00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:03,160 Speaker 1: it's gonna have a little more he needs a little 465 00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:06,080 Speaker 1: more time to transition from that running back position to 466 00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:09,560 Speaker 1: you know, with his tackling, because when I was watching film, 467 00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:11,600 Speaker 1: a lot of his tackles are up high. He tackles 468 00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:14,879 Speaker 1: up high. Um, he doesn't necessarily run through guys. I 469 00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:19,840 Speaker 1: don't think any of these linebackers are like big, big hitters. 470 00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:22,680 Speaker 1: I think Mac is the biggest hitter out of probably 471 00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:26,000 Speaker 1: all of them, Um, mac Wilson, Mac Wilson, Yes, I 472 00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:27,760 Speaker 1: think he's the biggest hitter out of all of them. 473 00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:30,800 Speaker 1: But it just seems like these Alabama linebackers always show 474 00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:33,600 Speaker 1: up like that as big, big hitters on film, So 475 00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:38,439 Speaker 1: be interesting to see how it transitioned. But Um, I 476 00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:41,840 Speaker 1: did have a sleeper. I liked the Dakota Allen I did. 477 00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:43,760 Speaker 1: I did when I watched him on film. I liked 478 00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:46,880 Speaker 1: how he got after it. He was very aggressive. He's 479 00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:50,800 Speaker 1: not the best in coverage, but you know that that 480 00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:54,480 Speaker 1: can be taught. And you know, I like his story too. 481 00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:57,960 Speaker 1: He comes from that last chance you M background that 482 00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:00,760 Speaker 1: Netflix shows, so you know he has some of that 483 00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:04,080 Speaker 1: that hunger in them that you can't necessarily see by watching. 484 00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:07,080 Speaker 1: But like knowing a bit of somebody's story, you could 485 00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:09,240 Speaker 1: tell that they you know, and knowing that they have 486 00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:12,240 Speaker 1: a little bit of extra inside of them, it kind 487 00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:15,520 Speaker 1: of helps. But all in all, Um, I looked at 488 00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:17,680 Speaker 1: like a lot of those guys that that UM are 489 00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:20,679 Speaker 1: on that list. It's gonna come down to the system 490 00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:22,960 Speaker 1: they get in and the coach that they have. I 491 00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:26,000 Speaker 1: really feel like, um, it really comes the closer that 492 00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:28,680 Speaker 1: I've gotten to this to this game the last couple 493 00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:32,800 Speaker 1: of years. Um it comes down a lot to schemes 494 00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:35,800 Speaker 1: and the way the coach coaches them. How you put 495 00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:39,359 Speaker 1: the players in position, because you can go down the list. Um, 496 00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:43,040 Speaker 1: you know, I think Blake Cashman is a big He 497 00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:45,199 Speaker 1: can be a big time player, but he has to 498 00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:48,639 Speaker 1: be in the right scheme in order to have success. 499 00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:52,560 Speaker 1: Whereas um, someone like you know, a Devin Bush and 500 00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:54,800 Speaker 1: a Devin White. You can put them on the field 501 00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:57,600 Speaker 1: and because of their speed and their athleticism, you know 502 00:27:57,640 --> 00:28:00,159 Speaker 1: they can you know, take a bad step, but that 503 00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:02,520 Speaker 1: four four and that four to three is getting them 504 00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:04,360 Speaker 1: back to where they need to get. Where if these 505 00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:07,080 Speaker 1: guys are you know, four fives and four six is 506 00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:10,200 Speaker 1: they're not making that sideline to sideline play unless they 507 00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:12,800 Speaker 1: start off in the right spot and know where they're going, 508 00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:15,560 Speaker 1: like stamp of the ball. Can we play a funny 509 00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:19,120 Speaker 1: little game for a minute, Keith Bullock, if you were 510 00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:23,600 Speaker 1: drafted in two nineteen, with the way that the game 511 00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:27,800 Speaker 1: is now in twenty nineteen, how high do you think 512 00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:31,639 Speaker 1: you would be drafted A and B. Where do you 513 00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:33,280 Speaker 1: think you would go? Do you think you would still 514 00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:34,879 Speaker 1: be a Titans player or would you go to a 515 00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:38,880 Speaker 1: different team? Um, I don't know. If you're hired thirtieth yeah, 516 00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:41,240 Speaker 1: I see. But that's the thing I was thinking as 517 00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:45,800 Speaker 1: you were asking me that it's funny like maybe at 518 00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:49,480 Speaker 1: this at this time, maybe I'm too tall for linebackers, 519 00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:50,920 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Maybe I'm too tall for 520 00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:53,120 Speaker 1: an outside linebacker, and I'm looked at more of like 521 00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:57,480 Speaker 1: a three four outside rush linebacker and I've never rushed. 522 00:28:57,520 --> 00:29:00,600 Speaker 1: So it's like he's like, I don't know, but i'd 523 00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:02,720 Speaker 1: like to think I'm gonna be a first rounder because 524 00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:06,320 Speaker 1: I'm gonna do my thing at the combine. Um, and 525 00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:08,080 Speaker 1: a lot of that stuff. They'd like to try and 526 00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:13,520 Speaker 1: base solidify like you're ranking or who you are by 527 00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:17,160 Speaker 1: at the combine. But a team wise, um, I don't. 528 00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:19,560 Speaker 1: I don't. I don't know what pick do the Titans 529 00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:23,680 Speaker 1: have nineteen. I could probably go to the Titans, I don't. 530 00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:26,320 Speaker 1: I doubt I'd be a top ten pick. That's just 531 00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:29,080 Speaker 1: how it works for me. Let's take a look at 532 00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:34,440 Speaker 1: the Titans. Some of us never get drafted. Keith, Sorry, 533 00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:36,320 Speaker 1: you don't think you're a tough ten. Let's take a 534 00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:40,640 Speaker 1: look at the Titans linebacker depth right now. The Titans 535 00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:43,800 Speaker 1: really enter twenty nineteen with three starters, and they only 536 00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:47,160 Speaker 1: have two spots, but wesleywood Yard, Jayon Brown and Rashaun 537 00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:52,880 Speaker 1: Evans rotate between the two starting spots and so all 538 00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:55,440 Speaker 1: of them get a lot of reps. And then Darren 539 00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:58,840 Speaker 1: Bates is a special teams player. Nigel Harris is a 540 00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:01,520 Speaker 1: guy who came in and really we did not have 541 00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:03,320 Speaker 1: a chance to see very much. So not a lot 542 00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:07,520 Speaker 1: of inside backers on the roster right now. Jan blew 543 00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:11,400 Speaker 1: up in year two? Great year two? Did that surprise you, 544 00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:15,320 Speaker 1: Keith Bullock, No, it really didn't. He the times that 545 00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:16,800 Speaker 1: he was able to get in the game and his 546 00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:19,720 Speaker 1: rookie year, he made plays, He showed some flashes. He 547 00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:23,400 Speaker 1: showed that like he was into the football that was 548 00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:27,240 Speaker 1: being taught here and that you know, with more opportunity, 549 00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:29,160 Speaker 1: more plays would be made. And I think that's what 550 00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:32,160 Speaker 1: coach Vabel saw when he got here, and you know, 551 00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:34,440 Speaker 1: make sure that you got him on the field a lot. 552 00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:39,720 Speaker 1: I have a question actually from social media, and Ryan 553 00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:42,320 Speaker 1: is asking who do you think has more upside? Jay 554 00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:47,760 Speaker 1: On Brown or Harold Landry. Um, I'm gonna say right now, 555 00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:52,560 Speaker 1: jay On just because in each year he showed that 556 00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:55,760 Speaker 1: he's gotten better. You know, Harold started off, he had 557 00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:59,080 Speaker 1: he had a decent rookie year. Obviously, I'm sure to 558 00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:02,959 Speaker 1: his standard to see more, but he expects to just 559 00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:05,560 Speaker 1: like everyone else expects him to have a better year 560 00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:08,560 Speaker 1: this year. So I don't think it's fair to for 561 00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:11,520 Speaker 1: me to, you know, say, Harold isn't you know, because 562 00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:13,680 Speaker 1: he's progressing the way he should. I think you just 563 00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:16,920 Speaker 1: kind of have to wait to see, um what he 564 00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:19,400 Speaker 1: does this year. So talking about Jayon Brown and the 565 00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:21,680 Speaker 1: big jump that he made, what does a guy like 566 00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:24,800 Speaker 1: Rashaun Evans need to do to make a similar year 567 00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:28,400 Speaker 1: one to year two jump. Um, he just needs to 568 00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:31,440 Speaker 1: play with confidence. He needs to. It all starts right now. 569 00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:35,840 Speaker 1: You know. Hopefully he's been in his book, he's been studying, 570 00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:38,720 Speaker 1: he's been watching his plays, been self scouting, seeing the 571 00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:42,840 Speaker 1: things that, you know, the mistakes he made, the good 572 00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:46,160 Speaker 1: plays he made. UM, just how the defense works as 573 00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:49,680 Speaker 1: a whole. You know, maybe hopefully in his defensive coordinators here, 574 00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:52,920 Speaker 1: his linebacker coaches here, just trying to absorb and gain 575 00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:56,080 Speaker 1: as much knowledge as he can heading into this offseason. 576 00:31:56,120 --> 00:31:59,240 Speaker 1: So every rep that he gets in OTAs because in 577 00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:03,080 Speaker 1: OTA's UM, everyone gets equal reps. From what I remember, 578 00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:05,360 Speaker 1: like if it's a twelfth play period and there are 579 00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:08,280 Speaker 1: three units. Everybody gets four and four and four, so 580 00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:10,280 Speaker 1: it's not like he's going to get the majority of 581 00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:12,240 Speaker 1: the reps. You want to be able to maximize your 582 00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:15,960 Speaker 1: reps in Ota, so when it comes to training camp, 583 00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:19,400 Speaker 1: you know you're where you need to be when you 584 00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:21,880 Speaker 1: start getting all those reps and it's not like you 585 00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:24,440 Speaker 1: have to catch up then. So I just think um 586 00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:29,320 Speaker 1: confidence getting reps and you know, playing fast. Ray on 587 00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:33,680 Speaker 1: Facebook asked an interesting question if you were the defensive coordinator, 588 00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:36,880 Speaker 1: if you were deem Peace, what would your approach be 589 00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:40,440 Speaker 1: to tightening up the defense this year? I guess both 590 00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:47,760 Speaker 1: and job right in actuality, I don't know coach. I 591 00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:51,240 Speaker 1: don't know Coach Dean's piece personally, but I know some 592 00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:54,760 Speaker 1: of the defense that he's coached UM and I just 593 00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:59,840 Speaker 1: think that it's all in approach and maybe just today's player. 594 00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:02,520 Speaker 1: It's different in you know, the day and age, but 595 00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:05,080 Speaker 1: it's it's attitude. I think it's an attitude that you 596 00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:07,480 Speaker 1: bring the practice every day. It's attitude that you bring 597 00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:11,160 Speaker 1: to the to the you know, your your defensive meeting, 598 00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:17,240 Speaker 1: your position meetings, the expectations you put upon your defensive 599 00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:21,640 Speaker 1: coaches to how to coach the player and also you know, 600 00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:25,600 Speaker 1: players knowing the expectation that you have as their defensive coordinator, 601 00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:29,280 Speaker 1: how to take the field anytime that it's time to work. 602 00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:32,800 Speaker 1: You know, those are like certain standards as a defensive 603 00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:35,360 Speaker 1: coach or a defensive player that you have to have 604 00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:39,880 Speaker 1: as yourself. So then your players take that stame standard 605 00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:42,520 Speaker 1: for them for themselves when they approach and it's time 606 00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:45,600 Speaker 1: to work. All right, Dusty on Facebook asks, how could 607 00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:48,960 Speaker 1: we take advantage of playing man on man compared to 608 00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:52,280 Speaker 1: zone and watching the quarterbacks eyes to make some big 609 00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:55,680 Speaker 1: time plays. Well, if you're playing man to man, you 610 00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:58,160 Speaker 1: don't necessarily want to be looking at the quarterback's eyes. 611 00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:00,600 Speaker 1: You want to be watching UM. You want to be 612 00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:03,840 Speaker 1: watching the receiver's hips or whoever your your coverage is. 613 00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:05,560 Speaker 1: You definitely want to keep your eyes on their coverage. 614 00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:08,160 Speaker 1: But how you could take advantage of that is getting 615 00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:10,640 Speaker 1: a good four man rush. You know, if you can 616 00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:14,280 Speaker 1: get a good four man rush, um some outside pressure, 617 00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:20,680 Speaker 1: some different stunts mixed in UM without blitzing um extra guys, 618 00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:24,560 Speaker 1: then you're able to have extra guys in coverage even 619 00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:26,759 Speaker 1: if you have your corners or your safeties in man 620 00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:30,320 Speaker 1: to man to maybe be a robber or double team. 621 00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:33,279 Speaker 1: They're better ride receiver like an Antonio Brown or something 622 00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:38,240 Speaker 1: like that. Um, but foe man rush. Having beast defensive 623 00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:42,160 Speaker 1: ents or outside rush guys definitely helped. All right. So 624 00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:46,640 Speaker 1: two days ago on the OTP road to Nashville, I 625 00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:51,480 Speaker 1: mentioned mister Robinson's neighborhood is something that needs to be studied. 626 00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:54,880 Speaker 1: A couple of my friends we're very confused. They're like, 627 00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:56,680 Speaker 1: what do you mean by that? We remember the Eddie 628 00:34:56,760 --> 00:35:02,320 Speaker 1: Murphy skid, but are I'm sorry? I mean I nickname things. 629 00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:08,759 Speaker 1: I remember, mister Robinson name, I nickname everything, all of them, 630 00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:11,480 Speaker 1: like all of these headlines. Yes, okay, So let me 631 00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:15,360 Speaker 1: show you what I mean by mister Robinson's neighborhood. I 632 00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:18,120 Speaker 1: did not explain it well enough, and I apologize. But 633 00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:21,359 Speaker 1: when analyzing the draft, John Robinson, of course is the 634 00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:26,840 Speaker 1: Titans general manager, so I use mister Robinson's neighborood. I'm analyzing, 635 00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:30,040 Speaker 1: and I'm really studying the three in front of him 636 00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:33,640 Speaker 1: in the draft, Carolina, the Giants in Minnesota, and I'm 637 00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:37,200 Speaker 1: studying the three after him in the draft, Pittsburgh, Seattle 638 00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:41,879 Speaker 1: and Baltimore. Like Seattle and Baltimore are teams that don't 639 00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:43,560 Speaker 1: have a lot of draft picks. So I think they 640 00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:46,360 Speaker 1: may be looking to get down. Pittsburgh may be looking 641 00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:49,839 Speaker 1: to get up and grab something. The Giants have two 642 00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:53,799 Speaker 1: first round picks, Minnesota and Tennessee, kind of similar in 643 00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:57,279 Speaker 1: terms of what they have available to move around, but 644 00:35:57,320 --> 00:35:59,799 Speaker 1: the other one. So this is mister Robinson's neighborhood. Does 645 00:35:59,840 --> 00:36:02,200 Speaker 1: this make more sense now, Amy, Well, it does make 646 00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:08,040 Speaker 1: sense right behind you the geography. Okay, So then let's 647 00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:11,000 Speaker 1: talk about mirror images. This is another thing that you 648 00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:14,400 Speaker 1: look at when you study draft. The mirror image to 649 00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:19,200 Speaker 1: the Titans, look at Carolina, the same needs, the same 650 00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:25,120 Speaker 1: overall biggest needs, and the draft picks are so similar. 651 00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:28,160 Speaker 1: Sixteen in the first round to the Titans nineteen. They 652 00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:30,719 Speaker 1: both have a second, they both have a third. There 653 00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:35,360 Speaker 1: they are in the fourth, and they're both done. Carolina. Yeah, 654 00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:38,319 Speaker 1: that's it. So I think if you're the Titans, if 655 00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:41,560 Speaker 1: you're if you're a Titans fan, I think you've got 656 00:36:41,600 --> 00:36:46,560 Speaker 1: to closely study Carolina to see what they're up to 657 00:36:46,760 --> 00:36:51,319 Speaker 1: because they're probably going to directly affect throughout the draft. Well, 658 00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:54,160 Speaker 1: let's see that's it. That's my mirror images from mister 659 00:36:54,239 --> 00:36:57,080 Speaker 1: Robinson's the Pro. No. But see now I'm going to 660 00:36:57,120 --> 00:37:01,000 Speaker 1: get now, I'm gonna get made fun of. It's just 661 00:37:01,040 --> 00:37:03,400 Speaker 1: the naming thing. But you got a half name. I mean, 662 00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:05,239 Speaker 1: if you're gonna do graphics, you gotta have a little 663 00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:07,319 Speaker 1: name for everything. I guess that's true. You can't just 664 00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:11,000 Speaker 1: put like, hey, this team and tomorrow's I get it, 665 00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:13,759 Speaker 1: thank you, I appreciate that team or you on it 666 00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:15,839 Speaker 1: looks like he's on my team. So there, we've known 667 00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:19,760 Speaker 1: each other longer. But in tomorrow's The OTP Road to Nashville, 668 00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:23,000 Speaker 1: we quote a Johnny Cash song, So there we do. Yeah. Nice. 669 00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:26,440 Speaker 1: So there's always a little, a little something. And the 670 00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:29,279 Speaker 1: question thing is working right, I mean, I guess so, 671 00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:33,640 Speaker 1: I mean we're getting Gore. Okay, Keith Bullock, do you 672 00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:36,680 Speaker 1: feel like you could step back into the NFL and 673 00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:41,839 Speaker 1: play football right now? No way. Snowboarding like a month 674 00:37:41,880 --> 00:37:43,640 Speaker 1: and a half ago, and I hit this jump and 675 00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:47,840 Speaker 1: landing let it on my buttn't even my back with 676 00:37:47,960 --> 00:37:51,479 Speaker 1: my butt, and I was like, yeah, I didn't even 677 00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:53,759 Speaker 1: eat it. I just landed on my butt, you know, 678 00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:55,840 Speaker 1: and then like my back was sore, and it was 679 00:37:56,040 --> 00:37:59,399 Speaker 1: Tony Richardson goes down. Here we go, there's a first 680 00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:03,080 Speaker 1: touchdown in front of Emmett Smith. But yeah, I definitely 681 00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:07,200 Speaker 1: couldn't play right now. Yeah. Yeah, it's like taking an 682 00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:11,320 Speaker 1: old car, antique out, you know, and trying old antique 683 00:38:11,400 --> 00:38:13,920 Speaker 1: race car and trying and put it back in. It's 684 00:38:13,960 --> 00:38:17,239 Speaker 1: just not happening. Well, here's one from Josh on Facebook. 685 00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:19,440 Speaker 1: He would like to know can you talk about what 686 00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:22,520 Speaker 1: was like to play with teammates Javon Curse and Kevin Carter, 687 00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:25,320 Speaker 1: especially during the two thousand and one to two thousand 688 00:38:25,360 --> 00:38:27,560 Speaker 1: and three years. I bet it was incredible to have 689 00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:32,839 Speaker 1: those two in front of you. Yeah, so when I first, Yeah, 690 00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:35,279 Speaker 1: the freak was the man when I got here, So 691 00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:37,200 Speaker 1: I didn't start for like the first two years, but 692 00:38:37,239 --> 00:38:39,080 Speaker 1: we hung out all the time, so it was cool. 693 00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:41,920 Speaker 1: It was cool hanging out with him, like you know, 694 00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:45,120 Speaker 1: hanging out with the superstar Javin Curse. But that actually 695 00:38:45,160 --> 00:38:47,879 Speaker 1: really made me, you know, want to get out there 696 00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:50,680 Speaker 1: even more. And I believe that was the year did 697 00:38:50,719 --> 00:38:55,319 Speaker 1: we get Godfrey and Kevin Carter? Yes, yes, so that 698 00:38:55,360 --> 00:38:58,000 Speaker 1: was year Kevin Carter came and that was my first 699 00:38:58,040 --> 00:39:03,440 Speaker 1: year starting, and Kevin Carter was definitely someone that I 700 00:39:03,640 --> 00:39:07,640 Speaker 1: learned more so off a lot of off the field 701 00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:10,560 Speaker 1: things from him, how to be a professional, you know, 702 00:39:11,080 --> 00:39:15,000 Speaker 1: more show about family because he was someone that had 703 00:39:15,040 --> 00:39:17,640 Speaker 1: a family. He was only like twenty seven, twenty eight, 704 00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:20,560 Speaker 1: but he still had a wife and kid. You know, 705 00:39:20,640 --> 00:39:22,960 Speaker 1: he was someone that would have us over, invite us 706 00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:25,719 Speaker 1: to his charity events and stuff like that. So you know, 707 00:39:26,239 --> 00:39:29,920 Speaker 1: Vaughn was definitely more like like my running mate, you know, 708 00:39:30,239 --> 00:39:32,200 Speaker 1: you know, on and off the field. But the year 709 00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:34,239 Speaker 1: that he was able to get healthy and then he 710 00:39:34,360 --> 00:39:38,759 Speaker 1: came back, he obviously wasn't the same person I'm talking 711 00:39:38,760 --> 00:39:42,600 Speaker 1: about when he came back after Philadelphia injury, but you know, 712 00:39:42,680 --> 00:39:45,280 Speaker 1: he was able to get out there and run around 713 00:39:45,320 --> 00:39:50,520 Speaker 1: and have fun. I think I enjoyed watching Javin's career 714 00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:54,560 Speaker 1: a lot more than I had the opportunity to play 715 00:39:54,560 --> 00:39:57,000 Speaker 1: with him at his height, But that definitely would have 716 00:39:57,000 --> 00:40:01,040 Speaker 1: been crazy. I always say Javan would have been ultimate 717 00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:04,719 Speaker 1: three four linebacker, someone that could rush the passer and 718 00:40:04,719 --> 00:40:07,040 Speaker 1: then stand up. And because he went to flood as 719 00:40:07,040 --> 00:40:09,480 Speaker 1: a safety, he sure did. And now you're a defensive 720 00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:12,520 Speaker 1: in that's crazy. That's a crazy hybrid. Well, he had 721 00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:15,719 Speaker 1: never put his hand down. He had never put his 722 00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:18,000 Speaker 1: hand down when he got here when the Titans took 723 00:40:18,080 --> 00:40:21,800 Speaker 1: him sixteenth and the player who was taken in front 724 00:40:21,840 --> 00:40:25,319 Speaker 1: of him is now a well known named Booger McFarlane. Yeah, 725 00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:28,240 Speaker 1: Tampa Bay took him, and then the Titans took Javin. 726 00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:32,640 Speaker 1: Javine had never lined down, and when Jim Washburn went 727 00:40:32,680 --> 00:40:35,240 Speaker 1: to teach him to do it, he had no idea 728 00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:39,000 Speaker 1: how to do it. But they ran this drill where 729 00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:41,840 Speaker 1: you would run down and everybody would grab It's like 730 00:40:41,840 --> 00:40:45,200 Speaker 1: a tennis ball or something, and so the job was 731 00:40:45,239 --> 00:40:48,080 Speaker 1: to run down to a certain place, out of a stance, 732 00:40:48,680 --> 00:40:50,880 Speaker 1: grab a tennis ball, and then run back. Well, he 733 00:40:50,920 --> 00:40:52,600 Speaker 1: went down and he was in a position to grab 734 00:40:52,680 --> 00:40:55,080 Speaker 1: all the tennis balls that were available at maybe like 735 00:40:55,160 --> 00:40:58,920 Speaker 1: three and they had never seen anything like this. Jim 736 00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:05,439 Speaker 1: Washburn's work with him to teach him technique was really amazing. Yeah, 737 00:41:05,520 --> 00:41:07,960 Speaker 1: I would say, And he's talking about Coach Washburn, and 738 00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:11,479 Speaker 1: I was thinking about him, um the other day, like, 739 00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:15,120 Speaker 1: I don't know if he is the best defensive line 740 00:41:15,120 --> 00:41:17,000 Speaker 1: coach ever, but he's one of the best that I 741 00:41:17,080 --> 00:41:20,920 Speaker 1: have been around. Um, he's an all timer. Yeah, like 742 00:41:21,080 --> 00:41:25,960 Speaker 1: in the sense that anyone, any defensive lineman that I 743 00:41:26,080 --> 00:41:29,279 Speaker 1: played with, and they like wanted to be better and 744 00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:31,879 Speaker 1: like wanted to get paid or whatever their goals were 745 00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:35,879 Speaker 1: as a football player, they like they achieved it. Like 746 00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:39,719 Speaker 1: with Coach Washington, there's so many defensive linemen that he's 747 00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:43,120 Speaker 1: had that have gone on and like, you know, got 748 00:41:43,160 --> 00:41:46,160 Speaker 1: second contracts and they might have been like seventh round 749 00:41:46,160 --> 00:41:49,160 Speaker 1: picks or fifth round picks and third round picks, but 750 00:41:49,560 --> 00:41:53,600 Speaker 1: he gets them to maximize their their ability. And you know, 751 00:41:54,040 --> 00:41:56,359 Speaker 1: the coaches, that's what I say, what I was saying early, 752 00:41:56,880 --> 00:41:59,480 Speaker 1: Like any one of these guys on this list, you know, 753 00:41:59,520 --> 00:42:01,880 Speaker 1: they can feel it into any system and play. You know, 754 00:42:02,120 --> 00:42:04,799 Speaker 1: it's just the matter of the coach that they get. 755 00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:07,480 Speaker 1: And I was fortunate to have a coach similar to 756 00:42:07,520 --> 00:42:10,759 Speaker 1: Coach Washburne, who was very technical, in Gunther Cunningham. It 757 00:42:10,880 --> 00:42:12,680 Speaker 1: was only two years, you know, and then I had 758 00:42:12,719 --> 00:42:14,799 Speaker 1: Coach McGinnis who was a great coach as well. But 759 00:42:14,880 --> 00:42:18,120 Speaker 1: I got a lot of my technique and football fundamentals 760 00:42:18,320 --> 00:42:21,000 Speaker 1: from Gunther Cunningham those two years. And I also had 761 00:42:21,080 --> 00:42:25,160 Speaker 1: Jim Schwartz two speaking of a masterclass, Yeah, I mean, 762 00:42:25,320 --> 00:42:29,000 Speaker 1: have Jim Schwartz, Gunther Cunningham and Dave McGinnis as your coaches. 763 00:42:30,080 --> 00:42:34,960 Speaker 1: It's not bad. That's that's like taking three great professors 764 00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:38,840 Speaker 1: in college, but no, that had no athletic ability, but 765 00:42:38,960 --> 00:42:45,279 Speaker 1: they knew the game. I'm telling coach matter. Take three. Now, 766 00:42:45,320 --> 00:42:48,399 Speaker 1: these are questions that we already got. Yes, these are 767 00:42:48,719 --> 00:42:51,919 Speaker 1: from Twitter. And if you feel like you would rather 768 00:42:52,040 --> 00:42:55,000 Speaker 1: just be you know a little later and send me 769 00:42:55,040 --> 00:42:57,160 Speaker 1: a question via Twitter. If you're thinking about this in 770 00:42:57,160 --> 00:42:59,360 Speaker 1: a couple hours and you're like, man, I should have asked, 771 00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:01,960 Speaker 1: send it to me on Twitter at Titans Amy and 772 00:43:01,960 --> 00:43:05,839 Speaker 1: we'll get it asked. On the show. Ask okay, number one, 773 00:43:07,200 --> 00:43:10,240 Speaker 1: When you were drafted, do you think that another team 774 00:43:10,600 --> 00:43:14,080 Speaker 1: was in the hunt to draft you? Yes, they were, 775 00:43:15,520 --> 00:43:18,040 Speaker 1: so I thought I was going to be drafted like 776 00:43:18,120 --> 00:43:21,279 Speaker 1: earlier than thirty. So by the time it was like 777 00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:24,320 Speaker 1: in the late twenties, I just kind of like it 778 00:43:24,480 --> 00:43:26,279 Speaker 1: just it just kind of gave up. I'm being a 779 00:43:26,360 --> 00:43:29,279 Speaker 1: first round draft pick. And the New Orleans Saints called 780 00:43:29,320 --> 00:43:32,560 Speaker 1: me and said and asked me if anyone had called 781 00:43:32,600 --> 00:43:34,040 Speaker 1: me yet, and I was like no, and it was 782 00:43:34,080 --> 00:43:36,960 Speaker 1: picked twenty seven. They're like all right, great, We're gonna 783 00:43:36,960 --> 00:43:39,000 Speaker 1: take you with the first pick of the second round. 784 00:43:39,040 --> 00:43:42,200 Speaker 1: I'm like, all right, great, you know, but then I 785 00:43:42,239 --> 00:43:45,600 Speaker 1: got that call at number thirty, second to last pick 786 00:43:45,600 --> 00:43:48,200 Speaker 1: of the first round, so I still achieved my goal 787 00:43:48,200 --> 00:43:51,120 Speaker 1: of being first round draft pick. Wow. Good looking out, Floyd. 788 00:43:52,480 --> 00:43:56,400 Speaker 1: All right, Jason asked, this is a completely different shift, 789 00:43:56,440 --> 00:43:59,239 Speaker 1: but I like it. How important do you think John 790 00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:03,600 Speaker 1: Robinson the Titans feel adding a speed threat on offenses. 791 00:44:03,920 --> 00:44:05,680 Speaker 1: I felt for a couple of years that this has 792 00:44:05,719 --> 00:44:09,560 Speaker 1: been a missing ingredient. Um, they know the game. You know. 793 00:44:09,719 --> 00:44:11,759 Speaker 1: John has been here for a while, and I feel 794 00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:14,719 Speaker 1: the moves that he's made has shown that he's just 795 00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:17,520 Speaker 1: not a guy in a suit that likes football. I 796 00:44:17,560 --> 00:44:20,520 Speaker 1: feel like he knows what he's doing, so speed kills 797 00:44:20,520 --> 00:44:24,760 Speaker 1: in this game. I think that, you know, by bringing 798 00:44:24,760 --> 00:44:28,000 Speaker 1: in Dion Lewis last year, he was trying to replace 799 00:44:28,239 --> 00:44:32,799 Speaker 1: Um macallist. Who's mccluster, Who's the speed guy here for 800 00:44:32,880 --> 00:44:35,600 Speaker 1: a while? But I think they're hip to what's going on. 801 00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:38,960 Speaker 1: M I think there's some guys on the roster right 802 00:44:39,040 --> 00:44:42,279 Speaker 1: even right now that I you know, Um that will 803 00:44:42,320 --> 00:44:47,200 Speaker 1: play a bigger role. Who's the kick returner from here 804 00:44:47,320 --> 00:44:50,960 Speaker 1: that's on the Titans. Uh Derrius Jenny. Yeah, I feel 805 00:44:50,960 --> 00:44:52,960 Speaker 1: like he'll play a bigger role this year. You know 806 00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:56,680 Speaker 1: he's a speed guy, but yeah, definitely, speed is on 807 00:44:56,800 --> 00:45:00,560 Speaker 1: every gym's mind. It doesn't go overlooked at all. All Right, 808 00:45:00,640 --> 00:45:03,760 Speaker 1: last question, which player do you think is most critical 809 00:45:03,920 --> 00:45:09,600 Speaker 1: to Marcus Mariota's success this season? Delaney Walker, Delaney Walker 810 00:45:10,000 --> 00:45:14,080 Speaker 1: or Um? You know what the tight end position? I 811 00:45:14,080 --> 00:45:17,000 Speaker 1: should just say Smith. Yeah, you know, I feel like 812 00:45:17,080 --> 00:45:20,480 Speaker 1: John knw Um knows the type of player that he 813 00:45:20,600 --> 00:45:22,640 Speaker 1: wants to be. I think this year he just needs 814 00:45:22,640 --> 00:45:25,920 Speaker 1: to go out and do it, like assert himself now 815 00:45:25,960 --> 00:45:30,360 Speaker 1: early in OTAs to give Marcus that confidence when it 816 00:45:30,400 --> 00:45:33,920 Speaker 1: comes to the preseason camp could keep that confidence and 817 00:45:33,960 --> 00:45:37,520 Speaker 1: then preseason games build that confidence even more so when 818 00:45:37,520 --> 00:45:41,200 Speaker 1: the season comes that you know, if Delaney, you know, obviously, 819 00:45:41,239 --> 00:45:44,480 Speaker 1: if he's not back to one hundred percent where he was, 820 00:45:44,920 --> 00:45:48,520 Speaker 1: If he's wherever Delaney is, Marcus doesn't have to worry 821 00:45:48,640 --> 00:45:52,120 Speaker 1: because you know, they got John new filling in and 822 00:45:52,239 --> 00:45:55,640 Speaker 1: stepping up in a bigger capacity than you know, he 823 00:45:55,800 --> 00:45:59,560 Speaker 1: even stepped up last year.
