1 00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:13,320 Speaker 1: This is the OTP presented by Farm Bureau Health Plans. 2 00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:16,560 Speaker 1: You can plan on Farm Bureau Health Plans for better coverage, 3 00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:20,320 Speaker 1: better rates, and better customer service. They've been providing Tennesseean's 4 00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:23,040 Speaker 1: with the home field advantage for almost seventy five years. 5 00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:27,280 Speaker 1: With Amy Wells, I'm Mike Keith. Good to see you 6 00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:31,040 Speaker 1: too much than two weeks away from training camp. Yes, 7 00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:33,319 Speaker 1: can you believe it? Can you believe it? It's been 8 00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:36,720 Speaker 1: a long dark winter, Mike, and we are going to 9 00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:40,919 Speaker 1: preview the Titans offense on this OTP, and then on 10 00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:43,839 Speaker 1: next week's OTP, the last one before training camp, we're 11 00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:47,120 Speaker 1: going to preview the defense. But before we do that, 12 00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:51,879 Speaker 1: want to say congratulations to the family of bum Phillips, 13 00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:55,200 Speaker 1: to Jeff Fisher and his family, and Floyd Reese and 14 00:00:55,280 --> 00:01:00,240 Speaker 1: his family. They are being inducted into this franchisees Ring 15 00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:04,200 Speaker 1: of Honor, all very deserving, absolutely such a cool thing. 16 00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:06,720 Speaker 1: I love when we are able to really take a 17 00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:10,800 Speaker 1: moment to recognize the history of this franchise and the 18 00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:14,279 Speaker 1: history even before they were the Tennessee Titans, and really 19 00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:17,880 Speaker 1: be able to put the people who we owe so 20 00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:21,200 Speaker 1: much too in a spot of prominence. And that's exactly 21 00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:24,399 Speaker 1: what the Ring of Honor is for. And I'm so excited. Well, 22 00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:28,600 Speaker 1: it feels like in two of these instances, the organization 23 00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:32,720 Speaker 1: has really fixed something that needed to be fixed. And 24 00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:35,400 Speaker 1: this is typical Amy Adam Strunk. She has done this 25 00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:41,039 Speaker 1: all along. Even mister Adams admitted firing bum Phillips was 26 00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:44,600 Speaker 1: one of his big mistakes. Yes he didn't readily admit it, 27 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:47,640 Speaker 1: but he did say that's something that was not a 28 00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:52,840 Speaker 1: great move. Bum Phillips was a highly successful coach. He 29 00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:56,560 Speaker 1: was also the person that most of us around the 30 00:01:56,600 --> 00:02:00,640 Speaker 1: country identified the Houston Oilers with. It wasn't Ocampbell or 31 00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:03,360 Speaker 1: Dan Pastorini or Warren Moon or any of the players 32 00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:06,360 Speaker 1: who came later. The guy we really knew as the 33 00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:11,119 Speaker 1: oiler was bum Phillips because his name was Oa bum Phillips. 34 00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:13,280 Speaker 1: He wore the big belt buckle on the cowboy had 35 00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:16,040 Speaker 1: and it was obvious he was a really good football coach. 36 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:20,240 Speaker 1: One fifty nine games, lost thirty eight, and for some 37 00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:23,919 Speaker 1: strange reason, you know, that got sideways with somebody in 38 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:28,240 Speaker 1: the organization and they convinced mister Adams to let him go. Later, 39 00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:31,720 Speaker 1: coach the Saints wasn't quite the same for him. But 40 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:35,560 Speaker 1: he was really just a special figure in the history 41 00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:39,880 Speaker 1: of the franchise and to see him be put in 42 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:43,359 Speaker 1: to the Ring of Honor, it's obvious that his family 43 00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:47,359 Speaker 1: is just elated. His son, Wade Phillips, an outstanding coach 44 00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:50,200 Speaker 1: in his own right, got emotional about it. And as 45 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:53,120 Speaker 1: a fan, as a fan of the NFL, not even 46 00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:56,399 Speaker 1: as an employee of the franchise, this just feels right, yeah, 47 00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:59,160 Speaker 1: And as an employee of the franchise, this makes me 48 00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:01,440 Speaker 1: very proud of it. Adam Strunk, well, and that's what 49 00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:04,120 Speaker 1: Amy does. You know, she is very aware of she 50 00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:06,720 Speaker 1: gets it right, she gets it right, and she's very 51 00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:11,839 Speaker 1: aware of where things maybe need a little extra recognition, 52 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:15,640 Speaker 1: and really celebrating the people who matter not only to 53 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,240 Speaker 1: the organization in and of itself, but to the fan 54 00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:20,760 Speaker 1: base and who they would like to see recognized and 55 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:24,360 Speaker 1: who they think is deserving. So all around, such a 56 00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:27,720 Speaker 1: class act thing by her, and really excited for the 57 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:31,160 Speaker 1: celebrations to come. And Jeff Fisher, of course, no surprise. 58 00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:33,560 Speaker 1: And I think for all of us, we probably won't 59 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:35,720 Speaker 1: spend a lot of time on Jeff Fisher because we 60 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:39,040 Speaker 1: do all the time on the OTP in other places. 61 00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:42,040 Speaker 1: If you've listened to anything we do, you know what 62 00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:45,760 Speaker 1: we think of Jeff Fisher, and you know how we 63 00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:48,120 Speaker 1: feel about him. We were all very loyal to him, 64 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:51,200 Speaker 1: who worked for him. We think he's a superstar. We 65 00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:53,520 Speaker 1: know about the things that he did for the franchise 66 00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:56,240 Speaker 1: that didn't have anything to do with the games on Sunday. 67 00:03:56,760 --> 00:04:00,480 Speaker 1: We never would be here at this moment where we 68 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:04,440 Speaker 1: are had he not taken the time to invest, not 69 00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:07,520 Speaker 1: just in the football team, but in the community, in 70 00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:10,000 Speaker 1: getting to know people, in working with our radio and 71 00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:13,280 Speaker 1: TV partners. There's no substitute for Jeff Fisher. This is 72 00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:16,200 Speaker 1: a no brainer. Amy brought him back for the Steve 73 00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:20,440 Speaker 1: McNair Eddie George ceremony two years ago. The response was 74 00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:25,040 Speaker 1: mind blowing when he was introduced. I think if anybody 75 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:29,440 Speaker 1: who was new to the organization didn't know how Titans 76 00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:31,920 Speaker 1: fans felt about Jeff Fisher, they knew at that moment. 77 00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:35,039 Speaker 1: They fixed a lot of things and it just feels good. 78 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:38,040 Speaker 1: This feels good. The other one, though, that I want 79 00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:40,920 Speaker 1: to talk about, is Floyd Reese, and that one has 80 00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:43,520 Speaker 1: talked about the least. There's been talked for years within 81 00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:48,279 Speaker 1: the organization about bum Phillips. Certainly the Jeff Fisher thing 82 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:50,520 Speaker 1: was hanging out there, and once he was no longer 83 00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:53,520 Speaker 1: coaching the Rams, it made sense to bring him back 84 00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:56,159 Speaker 1: into the family. He moved back to Middle Tennessee. But 85 00:04:56,279 --> 00:05:01,400 Speaker 1: Floyd Reese was an architect of so much great stuff 86 00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:05,760 Speaker 1: for this franchise. Was a coach assistant GM learned under 87 00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:10,359 Speaker 1: Mike Holovak, worked his way up, built the teams that 88 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:13,240 Speaker 1: ended up being so good for so long. And remember this, 89 00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:17,560 Speaker 1: the ninety nine through two thousand and three Titans sixty 90 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:22,200 Speaker 1: one wins, four playoff appearances, two thirteen and three seasons, 91 00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:25,880 Speaker 1: two division titles, the best record in football one year, 92 00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:29,440 Speaker 1: two AFC Championship games, and a Super Bowl. Wow. He 93 00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:33,159 Speaker 1: was the GM. They went sixty one and twenty six 94 00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:36,280 Speaker 1: during that period of time, sold out every game here, 95 00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:41,880 Speaker 1: and he was the general manager during that. Floyd Reese 96 00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:45,400 Speaker 1: has never gotten the credit that he deserved for that, 97 00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:50,360 Speaker 1: and now he is again, Amy getting it right. In 98 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:55,000 Speaker 1: my opinion, absolutely, she's recognizing the contributors, the people who 99 00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:59,600 Speaker 1: really have moved this franchise forward. And I'm excited. I'm 100 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:03,560 Speaker 1: excited too, So congratulations the family of Bum Phillips and 101 00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:06,359 Speaker 1: Jeff Fisher and his family, and Floyd Reese and his family, 102 00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,840 Speaker 1: the Ring of honor for this organization, and just a 103 00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:12,200 Speaker 1: good fit would read that and just went yes, yep 104 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:15,160 Speaker 1: that was the response. Yes, that's just a good feeling 105 00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:17,320 Speaker 1: all the way around. You gready talk some offense. I 106 00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:19,400 Speaker 1: am ready to talk to some offense. Let's get ready 107 00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:22,560 Speaker 1: for training camp. And I'm gonna ask Amy Wells hot 108 00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:25,560 Speaker 1: question here right off the bat, Hot, do you really 109 00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:28,840 Speaker 1: think there's a battle to be the backup quarterback for 110 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:32,040 Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans? I do you do? I do you do? 111 00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:35,039 Speaker 1: It's not just hype. Uh No, I don't think it's hype. 112 00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:38,720 Speaker 1: I don't think it's just a manufactured competition. I think 113 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:42,600 Speaker 1: there is actually some competition there. I think that Logan Woodside, 114 00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:44,840 Speaker 1: of course, as someone who's been with this organization for 115 00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:49,800 Speaker 1: a while, obviously the coaches trust him. We've of course 116 00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:52,400 Speaker 1: seen him at practices getting a lot of reps. He's 117 00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:54,479 Speaker 1: done great on the scout team. He's a guy that 118 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:58,080 Speaker 1: the coaches trust, which is great. Deshaun Kaiser is an 119 00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:02,240 Speaker 1: interesting person though he has an interesting arm. He is 120 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:04,800 Speaker 1: an interesting guy to watch and I think that if 121 00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:07,279 Speaker 1: anyone can give Logan Woodside a run for his money, 122 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:10,840 Speaker 1: it is a guy like Deshaun Kaiser. So I think, yes, 123 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,960 Speaker 1: I think there is some competition there because what you're 124 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:16,520 Speaker 1: trying to do is not just have the reliable guy 125 00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:21,600 Speaker 1: who understands it and is a great contributor in practice. 126 00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:24,240 Speaker 1: You need the guy that can fill in that is 127 00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:27,440 Speaker 1: the best fit in the event that QB one goes down. 128 00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:30,200 Speaker 1: Can you win? That's what you need? Can you win 129 00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:33,200 Speaker 1: if you have to play your backup quarterback against this 130 00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:38,880 Speaker 1: schedule to the level that you want to win this season? Right? So, 131 00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:41,560 Speaker 1: I think that you can't just have the guy that 132 00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:43,680 Speaker 1: you like and you trust and you want to be 133 00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:45,520 Speaker 1: on this team. It's got to be the guy that 134 00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:48,160 Speaker 1: can actually go in and win the ball game. Is 135 00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:51,160 Speaker 1: that Logan Woodside very well could be Is it Deshaun 136 00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:55,800 Speaker 1: Kaiser could be him too. Does that become the focus 137 00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:58,840 Speaker 1: the main focus of the three preseason games, the battle 138 00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:02,680 Speaker 1: for backup quarterback? I think so. I think that in 139 00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:04,880 Speaker 1: a game situation is the only way that you can 140 00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:08,360 Speaker 1: figure that out. And we've got three preseason games to 141 00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:11,640 Speaker 1: figure that out, all right. Next question is Dylan Raydon's 142 00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:14,960 Speaker 1: second round pick North Dakota State. The key to what 143 00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:18,880 Speaker 1: happens in the offensive line, I think so. I think 144 00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,600 Speaker 1: that if he's able to perform at the level that 145 00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,640 Speaker 1: he is expected to and maybe hoped to, if he 146 00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:28,960 Speaker 1: can actually be a contributor on this offensive line, if 147 00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:32,040 Speaker 1: he could be a starter, it changes everything. If he 148 00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:34,800 Speaker 1: can be a swing guy, it changes a lot of things. 149 00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:37,120 Speaker 1: If he's a guy that can dress on Sunday, it 150 00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,959 Speaker 1: changes those numbers a little bit. I think that he's 151 00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:43,320 Speaker 1: a guy that we've seen him get a lot of reps. 152 00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:46,920 Speaker 1: We've seen him contribute a lot in practice. Let's see 153 00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:48,960 Speaker 1: if he can keep doing that through training camp. Let's 154 00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:53,160 Speaker 1: see really where he is in his development and getting 155 00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:55,400 Speaker 1: ready to play at the next level. If he is 156 00:08:55,440 --> 00:09:00,800 Speaker 1: a starter, he changes the offensive line dynamic dramatically because 157 00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:05,600 Speaker 1: it allows other pieces to go into what they do best. 158 00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:10,440 Speaker 1: You get like Kendall Lamb, for example, is able to 159 00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:14,079 Speaker 1: do multiple things, including potentially play that jumbo tight end. 160 00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:17,120 Speaker 1: He caught a touchdown pass doing that for Cleveland last year. 161 00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:21,240 Speaker 1: So you're you're in a position then, because you're gonna 162 00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:24,720 Speaker 1: have injuries at different points of the year. If he 163 00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:28,640 Speaker 1: wins right tackle if Raidens wins right tackle and then 164 00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:31,320 Speaker 1: somebody goes down at another spot, say one of the 165 00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:35,199 Speaker 1: guards goes down, Lamb could play guard. You know that's 166 00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:38,160 Speaker 1: a possibility. I mean there are things that you can 167 00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:43,960 Speaker 1: do in those spots. If Lamb wins right tackle and 168 00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:47,160 Speaker 1: a guard gets hurt, well then do you move Lamb 169 00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:49,560 Speaker 1: to guard and put Raidens in it right tackle? So 170 00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:53,319 Speaker 1: you're making two changes. I think if if Raidens wins 171 00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:55,880 Speaker 1: a job, not to take anything away from anybody else, 172 00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:59,240 Speaker 1: but I think it takes the calculus of the building 173 00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:02,400 Speaker 1: of the offense of line and really helps it. Yeah, 174 00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:04,760 Speaker 1: I think you're right. I think that it gives it 175 00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:08,480 Speaker 1: gives some consistency to a position that could use it. 176 00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:12,640 Speaker 1: Like Dennis Kelly last year becoming the starter at right 177 00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:18,079 Speaker 1: tackle took away some moves. Yep, Because had Dennis Kelly 178 00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:20,880 Speaker 1: been the swing guy last year when Tato la One 179 00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:23,680 Speaker 1: got hurt, he would have gone to left tackle right 180 00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:28,160 Speaker 1: and you like having one of those veterans to be 181 00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:31,440 Speaker 1: that guy and then you just make one move instead 182 00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:33,760 Speaker 1: of having to make two or three moves in a 183 00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:39,000 Speaker 1: group that is so built on chemistry and consistency and 184 00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:43,280 Speaker 1: everything moving is one the least amount of change and 185 00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:46,480 Speaker 1: jumbling you can have within that group, the better your 186 00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:49,320 Speaker 1: offense is going to run. So the swing guys you're 187 00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:52,800 Speaker 1: figuring Kendall Lamb, we mentioned that's a pickup. I really 188 00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:57,800 Speaker 1: liked me too, me too, very excited. And then Sam Brilow, Yes, 189 00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:00,760 Speaker 1: who was playing good football last year when he got 190 00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:05,199 Speaker 1: hurt unfortunately. Questin Barry, who did a nice job at 191 00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:07,520 Speaker 1: left tackle on I mean he was the left tackle 192 00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:10,680 Speaker 1: on the AFC South champion. Is he a starter every 193 00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:14,080 Speaker 1: down at tackle? I don't know. I mean he's thirty 194 00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:16,320 Speaker 1: years old, but I think he's a good depth guy. 195 00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:18,520 Speaker 1: He's a good swing guy. Well, remember, you've got to 196 00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:23,040 Speaker 1: keep eight offensive linemen up on game day in order 197 00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:25,840 Speaker 1: to be able to keep forty six players up. That's 198 00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:29,040 Speaker 1: the rule, which means generally you're going to keep nine 199 00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:32,840 Speaker 1: offensive linemen on the roster. Some teams even ten. Yeah, 200 00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:36,240 Speaker 1: but the league worried about teams running out of offensive 201 00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:39,960 Speaker 1: linemen in games. It would happen for so they mandated 202 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:43,160 Speaker 1: if you want to keep forty six up, eight of 203 00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:46,920 Speaker 1: those guys have to be offensive linemen. So you're keeping 204 00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:50,320 Speaker 1: more offensive linemen on the roster. And then you know, 205 00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:53,840 Speaker 1: you've got some flexibility. I mean Daniel Munner on the inside, 206 00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:57,160 Speaker 1: he's sort of that center guard guy, and he has 207 00:11:57,240 --> 00:12:00,640 Speaker 1: some flexibility to do some different things. I think you 208 00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:04,319 Speaker 1: got some young ones. Chandon Herring, the six seven rookie 209 00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:08,000 Speaker 1: from BYU most people thought would be drafted. Yeah, and 210 00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:12,200 Speaker 1: I thought that was a really super signing that the 211 00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:15,160 Speaker 1: Titans were able to make as an undrafted free agent. 212 00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:18,559 Speaker 1: I'm also interested to see Adam Coon, the wrestler out 213 00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:22,080 Speaker 1: of Michigan. Yeah, that's a very interesting one to watch 214 00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:26,040 Speaker 1: going into camp because who was it John Robinson who 215 00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:29,600 Speaker 1: was talking about how immediately they started working on what 216 00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:32,000 Speaker 1: he was able to do in his mechanics because they 217 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:35,839 Speaker 1: were so wrestling oriented. Obviously, I'm interested to see how 218 00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:38,640 Speaker 1: that translates. We know it can, We've seen it happen before. 219 00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:41,200 Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to seeing what he looks like in 220 00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:44,720 Speaker 1: training camp versus what he looked like in mini camps. Well, 221 00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:46,920 Speaker 1: he's a player you'll know a lot more about with 222 00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:51,280 Speaker 1: pads on, Yes, because what he's gonna do well initially 223 00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:55,679 Speaker 1: is physical. His steps will not be great. His you know, 224 00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:58,600 Speaker 1: reach for this or grab. I mean, you're not gonna 225 00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:02,000 Speaker 1: watch him probably believe and make a technique video that 226 00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:05,079 Speaker 1: you show high school players. I mean that's not that's 227 00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:09,400 Speaker 1: not how that works. But sometimes a guy who's just nasty. 228 00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:11,960 Speaker 1: And I'm making any difference, right, I don't need you 229 00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:15,320 Speaker 1: to be technically sound one. If you can just get 230 00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:17,360 Speaker 1: big and get mean and grasp, if you can beat 231 00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:19,480 Speaker 1: the crap out of somebody, if you can get a 232 00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:22,080 Speaker 1: hold of them, as we like to say in East Tennessee, 233 00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:24,280 Speaker 1: get a hold of them. If you can get a 234 00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:27,320 Speaker 1: hold of them and not let them go and you're 235 00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:30,520 Speaker 1: not holding because you've got him on the inside, there's 236 00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:33,719 Speaker 1: something to that. And then as you refine the technique, 237 00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:36,440 Speaker 1: I mean, you would figure Coon is probably a guy 238 00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:39,760 Speaker 1: who's a practice squad candidate this year. You don't figure 239 00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:42,320 Speaker 1: he's probably a starter this year. Maybe he surprises you. 240 00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:45,200 Speaker 1: But if you see him in pads and you say, 241 00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:51,120 Speaker 1: oh oh, then you can take him and Sullivan and 242 00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:56,160 Speaker 1: Carter can refine him as coaches and you say, maybe 243 00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:59,319 Speaker 1: down the line, you got something special because those wrestlers 244 00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:03,120 Speaker 1: with those hands ends, it's an incredible skill set, oh absolutely, 245 00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:07,400 Speaker 1: And the balance and there's so many positive attributes that 246 00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:10,840 Speaker 1: you want to have an offensive lineman. I'm really excited 247 00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:13,600 Speaker 1: about why I didn't know anything about wrestling growing up 248 00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:16,280 Speaker 1: because I didn't wrestle. My best friend is a wrestling 249 00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:18,840 Speaker 1: coach in Memphis, and I've learned a lot watching his 250 00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:22,040 Speaker 1: teams over the years. And the minute the Titans signed 251 00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:24,120 Speaker 1: Adam Koon, he called me. I thought he was calling 252 00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:27,200 Speaker 1: about Julio Jones. He wasn't. Oh no, he's calling about 253 00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:29,760 Speaker 1: Adam Koone. He was saying, you know, this guy is 254 00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:32,840 Speaker 1: an absolute study. Said he didn't make the Olympic team, 255 00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:35,320 Speaker 1: which was a big surprise. He said, I think he 256 00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:38,480 Speaker 1: can do. It's exciting. That's from somebody who's done it, 257 00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:41,760 Speaker 1: you know, as a coach for thirty five years, who's 258 00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:44,880 Speaker 1: gone to camps and had a chance to see guys 259 00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:47,640 Speaker 1: like this over the years, and it's been done. Yeah, 260 00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:50,240 Speaker 1: it has. It's a great sport. There's a precedent for it. 261 00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:53,600 Speaker 1: I'm very excited to see how the two kind of overlap. 262 00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:55,840 Speaker 1: I just want him to be big and nasty. That's 263 00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:58,440 Speaker 1: all I care about. Tight Ends. Do the Titans have 264 00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:02,280 Speaker 1: enough of them right now? Do they have three or 265 00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:04,960 Speaker 1: four tight ends on the roster that they need? Yes, 266 00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:08,080 Speaker 1: with an asterisk well, there's no such thing, not on 267 00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:13,040 Speaker 1: the OTP. We make our own rules here. I mean, yes, 268 00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:16,640 Speaker 1: I think so. I think that for some of the 269 00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:20,800 Speaker 1: younger guys, I'm interested to see what they start looking 270 00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:22,520 Speaker 1: like when things are at a higher speed and you 271 00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:24,880 Speaker 1: get pads on and we really start rocking and rolling. 272 00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:27,400 Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean potentially, sure, what do you think 273 00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:30,520 Speaker 1: got a lot to prove? Yes, with an asterix, got 274 00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:33,360 Speaker 1: a lot to sell me on my initial answer, I mean, 275 00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:35,800 Speaker 1: Jeff Swain played really well for this team last year, 276 00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:38,880 Speaker 1: and nobody's talking about that. Ferks or is Ferks, and 277 00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:41,360 Speaker 1: Ferks has turned into a real good player. Absolutely, And 278 00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:43,920 Speaker 1: so you got two right there you feel really really 279 00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:47,040 Speaker 1: good about. Tommy Hudson hasn't done enough to prove it yet. No, 280 00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:50,560 Speaker 1: Pickney didn't do enough to prove it last year as 281 00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:53,320 Speaker 1: a rookie, which jumps out. And then you've got Forestall 282 00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:56,400 Speaker 1: and you've got Briley Moore, the guys that you've brought 283 00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:59,360 Speaker 1: in as as rookies. And then you've got the option 284 00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:02,600 Speaker 1: you potentially of a lamb who can be a jumbo 285 00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:06,080 Speaker 1: tight end. You've got the two fullbacks who have some 286 00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:09,840 Speaker 1: tight end type skill. Maybe you only need three feels 287 00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:14,120 Speaker 1: like unless somebody really asserts themselves, this is a spot 288 00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:15,960 Speaker 1: where you're going to go get a veteran after the 289 00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:19,840 Speaker 1: third preseason game possible. But I think that there is 290 00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:23,280 Speaker 1: also potential within this group. Well, I think the potential 291 00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:25,560 Speaker 1: to me right off the bat is Hudson, That's what 292 00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:30,520 Speaker 1: I was going to say, because Hudson can really block. Yeah, absolutely, 293 00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:33,960 Speaker 1: I gotta see it because I think these guys have 294 00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:38,800 Speaker 1: to be so on point with their assignments. It's hard 295 00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:42,480 Speaker 1: to run a young player out there without him doing 296 00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:46,840 Speaker 1: something boneheaded unless they're just really on the ball. The 297 00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:50,280 Speaker 1: tight end position can be an overwhelming one because you 298 00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:53,160 Speaker 1: are required to be a part of so many different 299 00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:55,320 Speaker 1: facets of the offense. I think that some of the 300 00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:57,640 Speaker 1: smartest people on the field are tight end, right. You 301 00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:00,400 Speaker 1: can because there's so many things going on this day 302 00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:02,640 Speaker 1: in time. To be a true tight end, now, some 303 00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:05,280 Speaker 1: of these guys are just basically wide receivers. But to 304 00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:07,840 Speaker 1: be a true tight end, you can't be dope, right, 305 00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:10,199 Speaker 1: You just can't be dope. And the Tennessee Titans have 306 00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:12,920 Speaker 1: smart tight ends. They use tight ends as true tight 307 00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:16,880 Speaker 1: ends in that they are doing tight end things they're blocking, 308 00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:19,680 Speaker 1: they're running, they're catching, they're doing all the things. How 309 00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:22,040 Speaker 1: much do we see a j Brown and Julio Jones 310 00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:24,480 Speaker 1: together in training camp? I don't think a lot. I 311 00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:27,240 Speaker 1: don't think we're going to get a ton of them together, 312 00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:29,040 Speaker 1: not because I don't think we will see it in 313 00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:32,199 Speaker 1: the regular season, but I think that that's going to 314 00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:35,320 Speaker 1: be some tricky stuff that you'll see once in a 315 00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:38,199 Speaker 1: blue moon, and then it'll show up during the season 316 00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:42,440 Speaker 1: as fancy things. My opinion is that I agree with you. 317 00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:47,159 Speaker 1: I love it when that happens. And the reason is 318 00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:50,480 Speaker 1: because of the three preseason games. And here's what I mean. 319 00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:54,399 Speaker 1: I think they'll practice some. I think they'll do some things, 320 00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:58,399 Speaker 1: but I think they will be paced from July twenty 321 00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:01,120 Speaker 1: seventh through August twenty eighth on a pitch count. They'll 322 00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:04,520 Speaker 1: be on a pitch account because having the extra week 323 00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:07,800 Speaker 1: to get ready for the first game is a big 324 00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:10,000 Speaker 1: factor to guys like that. I think it's going to 325 00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:12,160 Speaker 1: be the same way with Derek Henry. Just my opinion. 326 00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:14,000 Speaker 1: I don't think you'll see the ball out there together. 327 00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:16,920 Speaker 1: I think you will see them practice. I think you'll 328 00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:18,639 Speaker 1: see them do things. I think you'll see them have 329 00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:22,160 Speaker 1: days off, but I don't think it's gonna be crazy, crazy, 330 00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:25,280 Speaker 1: crazy every single day because they'll keep them in shape. 331 00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:28,119 Speaker 1: They'll have them ready done on August twenty ninth, when 332 00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:31,080 Speaker 1: the final preseason game is over. I think they'll start 333 00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:34,600 Speaker 1: easing them towards Arizona on September the twelfth. So let's 334 00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:37,879 Speaker 1: preemptively give a public service announcement that in the event 335 00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:39,880 Speaker 1: that we are rolling through training camp and you are 336 00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:42,320 Speaker 1: not seeing as much of your favorite players as you 337 00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:46,040 Speaker 1: would like to, let us not panic and say that 338 00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:49,800 Speaker 1: everyone is an idiot because they're not using your favorite 339 00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:52,960 Speaker 1: player enough. One of these guys are underutilized in training camp. No. 340 00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:54,879 Speaker 1: And also people aren't going to be able to come 341 00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:57,520 Speaker 1: to training camp anyway, right, so you have to hope 342 00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:01,200 Speaker 1: the people sharing the information about training camp aren't consistent. 343 00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:04,680 Speaker 1: Why aren't they together? Yes, let's all just cool our jets. Yeah, 344 00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:07,760 Speaker 1: that's right across the world. That's right, preemptive jet cooling. 345 00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:10,320 Speaker 1: Because I think what this leads to is the next 346 00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:13,440 Speaker 1: question is okay aj is going to be on the team. Yes, 347 00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:17,040 Speaker 1: I think, pretty pretty sure, pretty sure. I think Julio's 348 00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:19,440 Speaker 1: gonna make it too. I think he'll make the cut, yep. 349 00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:22,760 Speaker 1: But how many wide receivers does this team carry outside 350 00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:25,560 Speaker 1: of them? And who in the whole group is even 351 00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:29,240 Speaker 1: guaranteed a roster spot now, Josh Reynolds, Yes, you would 352 00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:31,840 Speaker 1: think you would take a fourth round draft pick in 353 00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:36,439 Speaker 1: des Fitzpatrick. Yes, outside of that fight. Yeah, Well in 354 00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:40,160 Speaker 1: an interesting fight too, Like a Nick Westbrook Akeena who's 355 00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:43,320 Speaker 1: been around place teams and I'm excited to see him. 356 00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:46,199 Speaker 1: A Cameron Batson, who we've seen do something, could be 357 00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:50,280 Speaker 1: your returner. Yep. There's a lot of interesting things in here. 358 00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:54,639 Speaker 1: The other part of Cameron Batson is he's different, very different, 359 00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:59,040 Speaker 1: because he's your small, quick everybody else is over six 360 00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:02,200 Speaker 1: feet tall or so, it seems. Cam has that four 361 00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:06,000 Speaker 1: three speed, So it's almost like being different gives him 362 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:09,240 Speaker 1: an advantage in all of that. I could see them 363 00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:12,400 Speaker 1: carrying seven receivers feels like a lot. But I think 364 00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:14,480 Speaker 1: I agree with you. Let me tell you why, because 365 00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:18,560 Speaker 1: you've got some guys. Chester Rogers has played some good 366 00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:21,760 Speaker 1: football so far that we've seen. Fred Brown has played 367 00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:25,320 Speaker 1: some good football that we've seen. Cody Hollister does good 368 00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:28,119 Speaker 1: things as a more of a veteran receiver, who doesn't 369 00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:30,280 Speaker 1: play a lot. He too can play teams. But you 370 00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:32,399 Speaker 1: got a guy like Racy McMath. That's who I was 371 00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:36,159 Speaker 1: just and you know, I love Racy McMath. He's my 372 00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:39,359 Speaker 1: guy now. I love Racy McMath is sixth round, pick 373 00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:42,760 Speaker 1: six three, he's two twenty. He runs in the four three's. 374 00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:48,480 Speaker 1: Racy is a really good teams player, really good. So 375 00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:51,320 Speaker 1: what if and we're gonna do defense next week? What 376 00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:55,400 Speaker 1: if less of your team's guys come from defense than 377 00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:59,399 Speaker 1: having years past and more of them come from offense. Yeah, 378 00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:03,480 Speaker 1: So do you keep twenty six offensive players, twenty four 379 00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:07,440 Speaker 1: defensive players, and then the three specialists because you keep 380 00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:10,240 Speaker 1: seven receivers due to the fact that three of them 381 00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:13,080 Speaker 1: are really good teams players. Yeah, And he's a guy 382 00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:16,400 Speaker 1: that can be the consistent teams player that we've seen 383 00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:19,479 Speaker 1: him be in college. He loves special teams. He's one 384 00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:23,040 Speaker 1: of those crazy people who lives and dies for special teams. 385 00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:25,800 Speaker 1: But here's what else. He's big like a linebacker. That's 386 00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:28,439 Speaker 1: what I was in Westbrook. A Kina is big like 387 00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:31,719 Speaker 1: a lineback. He's a big guy. He can be some 388 00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:35,480 Speaker 1: matchup issues in special situations in the event that you 389 00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:39,200 Speaker 1: need a big dude, and I think that he kind 390 00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:44,240 Speaker 1: of underestimates his receiver abilities a little bit. I think 391 00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:47,840 Speaker 1: that he undersells himself as a receiver. I had the 392 00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:50,240 Speaker 1: chance to talk to him, and he really was talking 393 00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:52,119 Speaker 1: about how he wants to get better as a receiver. 394 00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:54,359 Speaker 1: He wants to be more technically sound, he wants to 395 00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:57,720 Speaker 1: do all those things to earn that receiver spot, not 396 00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:01,120 Speaker 1: just based on his team's playbook as a receiver, and 397 00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:03,320 Speaker 1: I think his ball skills are a little bit better 398 00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:05,840 Speaker 1: than he gives himself credit for, just in my opinion. 399 00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:10,240 Speaker 1: So we look at running backs Derrick Henry, Darnton Evans, 400 00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:14,959 Speaker 1: fullback yep. And then a fourth spot. Is it Brian 401 00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:18,919 Speaker 1: Smith late of the Atlanta Falcons versus Jeremy McNichols, who 402 00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:20,840 Speaker 1: played a lot of football for the Titans last year. 403 00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:23,679 Speaker 1: On the surface, is it one of those against the 404 00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:26,200 Speaker 1: other one for the fourth and final running back spot? 405 00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:29,080 Speaker 1: I mean you'd have to think so, right, advantage Smith 406 00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:33,399 Speaker 1: because he's six one two twenty over McNichols, who is 407 00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:36,760 Speaker 1: five nine, two oh five. I don't know. I really 408 00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:40,760 Speaker 1: like McNichols slow. That's just me. In the times that 409 00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:43,040 Speaker 1: I have seen him, I've liked what I've seen, But 410 00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:45,800 Speaker 1: do you need another like what they did last year 411 00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:48,639 Speaker 1: with Deante Foreman? And Foreman ran the ball well for 412 00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:52,040 Speaker 1: this team, he did, and they added him because they said, hey, 413 00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:56,040 Speaker 1: we need another big back to go in the staple. Yeah, 414 00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:58,359 Speaker 1: and I can see that. Maybe you're right, Yes, yeah, 415 00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:01,080 Speaker 1: I I came in with a different opinion, and Mike, 416 00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:03,600 Speaker 1: you're changing my mind, all right. So but now we 417 00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:06,240 Speaker 1: get crazy. So I included a fullback in the four 418 00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:09,919 Speaker 1: running backs carry blassing game, Tory Carter, the rookie from 419 00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:12,520 Speaker 1: l issue one of the two. Do the Titans even 420 00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:17,520 Speaker 1: keep a fullback in Todd Downing's offense? Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, 421 00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:23,440 Speaker 1: she says, She says with authority. I mean, fullbacks are 422 00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:26,520 Speaker 1: such a polarizing topic in the National Football League. You 423 00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:28,520 Speaker 1: love a fullback or you hate a fullback. I love 424 00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:30,800 Speaker 1: a fullback, and I think Todd Downing does too well. 425 00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:34,560 Speaker 1: Coaches like having a fullback, they love having a fullback. Yeah. 426 00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:37,879 Speaker 1: Personnel people general managers are like, whoa, whoa, whoa. You 427 00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:39,679 Speaker 1: want to keep a guy who's gonna play three snaps 428 00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:41,520 Speaker 1: a game, Yes, that's what you're gonna do. They're an 429 00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:45,440 Speaker 1: important three snaps. Yeah, I love a fullback. I'm into 430 00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:48,200 Speaker 1: a fullback. But card Blassing Game can catch the ball too. 431 00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:51,119 Speaker 1: I think I'm saying you can't. I'm just saying you 432 00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:54,520 Speaker 1: get into these situations. Well, if you've got receivers who 433 00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:57,720 Speaker 1: can play teams, then do you keep an extra receiver 434 00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:01,080 Speaker 1: or an extra tight end and not keep as many 435 00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:04,040 Speaker 1: running backs and thus maybe not a fullback. I think 436 00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:06,560 Speaker 1: fullbacks on this team, That's what I think. And I 437 00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:08,560 Speaker 1: think Blasting Game is gonna be hard to knock off 438 00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:11,200 Speaker 1: because I just think he does so many things well. 439 00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:13,680 Speaker 1: But when I watched LSU play, I was a fan 440 00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:15,600 Speaker 1: of how they used Carter. I thought they did a 441 00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:19,280 Speaker 1: great job incorporating him, and he's a good player. Yeah, 442 00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:22,080 Speaker 1: I've got all this a beautiful mind like math and 443 00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:25,239 Speaker 1: numbers swirling around my head right now, I'm getting sorry. No, 444 00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:27,480 Speaker 1: I'm really excited and I want to crack the code 445 00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:29,960 Speaker 1: before we even really get there. All right, so you're 446 00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:34,720 Speaker 1: offensive sleeper to watch Amy wells mine is racy McMath 447 00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:39,359 Speaker 1: what I know. I'm just I'm really fired up about 448 00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:41,640 Speaker 1: what I think he can do and what he can bring, 449 00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:44,520 Speaker 1: and I'm excited about seeing him on special teams because 450 00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:47,600 Speaker 1: I love the crazy special teams players like the guys 451 00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:50,240 Speaker 1: who are just all in and run like their heads 452 00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:54,119 Speaker 1: on fire and just really don't care. I'm so excited 453 00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:56,040 Speaker 1: to see what he brings and I want to watch 454 00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:59,359 Speaker 1: him earn a spot on this team. Mine is Aaron Brewer. Okay, 455 00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:04,240 Speaker 1: se your offensive lineman eighty five played okay at guard 456 00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:07,520 Speaker 1: last year because, as Mike Vrabel said, even when he 457 00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:09,720 Speaker 1: didn't know what to do, he went and hit somebody. Yeah, 458 00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:12,720 Speaker 1: And that was what they loved so much about him 459 00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:16,160 Speaker 1: is he loved to play football. They played him at fullback, sometimes, 460 00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:17,879 Speaker 1: they lined him up at tight end. They did all 461 00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:20,480 Speaker 1: kinds of different things with him. I want to see 462 00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:24,520 Speaker 1: he to me, is the tier tard on offense. Because 463 00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:28,160 Speaker 1: Aaron Brewer might be a starter for this football team someday. 464 00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:31,560 Speaker 1: Can he show in year two that he is worthy 465 00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:36,159 Speaker 1: of continuing to pour knowledge to poor resources, to spend 466 00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:40,800 Speaker 1: money and time on to continue to develop And I 467 00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:44,400 Speaker 1: think he probably is. But he's in a battle. And 468 00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:48,679 Speaker 1: that's where John Robinson got this team better. Is not 469 00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:51,000 Speaker 1: only did he improve the speed on defense, and not 470 00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:53,640 Speaker 1: only did he add Julio Jones and add pass rushers 471 00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:56,679 Speaker 1: and things of that sort. The other thing that he added, Amy, 472 00:25:56,960 --> 00:26:00,520 Speaker 1: is he added really good competition down the line. Just 473 00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:03,600 Speaker 1: because you were on this team last year doesn't mean anything, right, 474 00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:07,840 Speaker 1: And that's what a championship team needs, is they need 475 00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:11,400 Speaker 1: a fight basically everywhere. And that's what we're going to get. 476 00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:13,960 Speaker 1: I think so I think we are. I think that 477 00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:17,440 Speaker 1: there are so many battles within this Titans roster, even 478 00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:19,679 Speaker 1: just on the offensive side of the ball. This is 479 00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:22,520 Speaker 1: going to be fun. Farm Bureau Health plans remind you, 480 00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:25,959 Speaker 1: they are healthcare coverage, like an extra set of pads 481 00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:28,720 Speaker 1: when you need them the most. They've been protecting Tennessee 482 00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:31,920 Speaker 1: and since nineteen forty seven Farm Bureau Health Plans. All right, 483 00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:35,440 Speaker 1: so next week we'll do defense. Woo who. I'm enjoying this, Mike. 484 00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:38,000 Speaker 1: It feels good. I'm glad you are, Amy, I am. 485 00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:40,359 Speaker 1: I hope the people are. We live for that. Yes, 486 00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:45,320 Speaker 1: for my enjoyment and your enjoyment. The thousands of people listening. 487 00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:47,520 Speaker 1: Don't worry about that. Just as long as you're having it, 488 00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:50,280 Speaker 1: I said, I hope everyone else is enjoying it too. 489 00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:52,760 Speaker 1: This isn't just for me, I know, but I am 490 00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:54,600 Speaker 1: enjoying it. And I want to say one more thing 491 00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:58,320 Speaker 1: before we leave.
