6
00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:33,800
Speaker 1: on a special OTP Sunday, Julio Sunday. Julio Sunday. Is

7
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:36,080
Speaker 1: this a thing now? It is a thing? So Amy

8
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:39,040
Speaker 1: and I recorded a podcast on Friday afternoon that was

9
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:43,159
Speaker 1: actually posted last night. Okay, so that podcast has been

10
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 1: up for twenty hours. Maybe maybe maybe, Well, let's completely

11
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:51,920
Speaker 1: out of date now because the Titans have traded for

12
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:54,960
Speaker 1: Julio Joe. Yeah, if people could actually not listen to

13
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:56,880
Speaker 1: that and some of the things that I said, that

14
00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 1: would be great. Like I've just delete it, move on

15
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 1: to this one. I mean, we've had a lot of

16
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 1: discussion about Julio Jones on the OTP. We broke down

17
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 1: a lot of the analytical things about it. Two weeks ago.

18
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 1: We went through the entire process of how complicated it

19
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 1: would be for really every other team in the NFL

20
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 1: to make the deal because of the year that we

21
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 1: were in and so Dave McGinnis, I think what we

22
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 1: see in the end as we sit here on Sunday,

23
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 1: five days after Julio Jones sort of got on the

24
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 1: real market post June first, the Titans got in it,

25
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 1: laid in the weeds, waited and won. Well, John Robinson

26
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 1: just stayed at the table. You know, it's what he did.

27
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 1: I mean, if anybody are ot people out there, any

28
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 1: Texas holding players, sometimes you just got to stay at

29
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 1: the table and hold your cards for a while and

30
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 1: watch everybody else be dealt and watch what they're doing.

31
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 1: And he was. He had patience. It's hard to have

32
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 1: patience in this You have to have patience and you

33
00:01:57,640 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 1: have to have the faith that you have got the

34
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 1: ability to weigh it out. That's hard to do in

35
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 1: this league, especially in this era of free agency, it

36
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 1: really is. And this year being a truncated salary cap year,

37
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 1: you have several players, this being the premier one that

38
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 1: was available because of money. He wasn't available because he

39
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:18,680
Speaker 1: can't play anymore, and I mean he's still a very

40
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:21,800
Speaker 1: productive player and someone that is a defensive coach. You

41
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:24,400
Speaker 1: have to say, Okay, on Monday, we're gonna have to

42
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:27,800
Speaker 1: do some different things. And so John Robinson being able

43
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 1: to not being able to this is what he does.

44
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 1: He stayed with it. And he's a perfect guy at

45
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:37,240
Speaker 1: these type of negotiations because he never gets too high,

46
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 1: he never gets too low, He holds the course, and

47
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 1: he never does anything. He is the ultimate keep your

48
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 1: powder dry guy. And that's what you have to do.

49
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 1: As the Titans were sitting there on Friday and you

50
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 1: and I were sitting here doing the OTP at Nissan Stadium, Amy,

51
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:56,240
Speaker 1: I thought the Titans chances were going up the longer

52
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 1: it went because it was very obvious John Robinson was

53
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,920
Speaker 1: not going to offer a one. It was very obvious

54
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:06,799
Speaker 1: the Atlanta Falcons had to do something. And you just

55
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 1: kind of felt like, as some teams who had come

56
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:13,360
Speaker 1: in you heard Seattle, and you heard the Chargers, and

57
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:15,679
Speaker 1: you heard the Rams, and you heard all the New

58
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 1: England when nothing sort of happened that quickly, suddenly the

59
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 1: playing field got balanced and John Robinson, who had been

60
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 1: having conversations with them for some time, emerges. And that's

61
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:32,640
Speaker 1: the thing about John Robinson that is so exciting to

62
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:34,640
Speaker 1: me as someone who gets to see this a little

63
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 1: more up close and personal. He's so good at just waiting.

64
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 1: He doesn't show his hand, he doesn't do anything too

65
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 1: high or too low, or make these rash decisions. He waits,

66
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 1: he assesses everything, he gives himself options, and you're right.

67
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 1: Throughout the last couple of days, you'd hear different names

68
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 1: and then it just kind of fell off, like nothing

69
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 1: ever really materialized from some of the teams that we

70
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 1: were hearing about, and then knowing how John Robinson kind

71
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 1: of plays it and he always is around awesome, just

72
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 1: so awesome the way that this all worked out, And

73
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 1: you're right, it's a perfect situation for kind of both parties.

74
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 1: The Falcons needed to do something they just had to,

75
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:18,799
Speaker 1: and the Tennessee Titans are getting a pretty good deal

76
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 1: for a guy who could be a game changer. And

77
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:25,279
Speaker 1: in essence, it's a two next year and a four

78
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:29,040
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty three for Julio Jones and a six

79
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty three. But in reality, the four that

80
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:36,360
Speaker 1: the Titans will give up, they'll have a compensatory pick

81
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:39,119
Speaker 1: that year because they are having to let some guys

82
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 1: go into the free agent market. So in essence, all

83
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 1: they traded was really a two in my opinion, Well,

84
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 1: it's a two for Julio Jones and that's that, and

85
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 1: that's that you do that every day, especially at this

86
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 1: point of where this football team is too. Let's think

87
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 1: about where this football team is and and just the

88
00:04:55,000 --> 00:05:00,279
Speaker 1: dynamics of one dynamic player can change the landscape quite

89
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:02,040
Speaker 1: a bit. I mean, I look at that these kind

90
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 1: of trades, you know, as a former defensive coach and

91
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 1: a defensive coordinator, knowing that immediately as you look at it,

92
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 1: regardless of wherever you know Tied Downing starts to place

93
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:14,280
Speaker 1: him as a defensive coach. This makes a difference now

94
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:16,479
Speaker 1: because you've got some other people that you have to

95
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:19,160
Speaker 1: worry about, and with a j. Brown and with the

96
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 1: run game that we have with Dereck Henry, this makes

97
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 1: a big difference because the more one on ones you

98
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 1: can get either one of those real dudes, the better

99
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 1: off we are. Let's say you're standing up in a

100
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 1: staff meeting and you're laying out a plan and you're

101
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 1: going over a posing personnel. If you're standing in front

102
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:37,279
Speaker 1: of the defensive staff and you talk about Julio Jones,

103
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 1: how do you describe him as a player at this time? Well,

104
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:42,720
Speaker 1: I mean, he's a he's a he's a generational player,

105
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 1: and he has me he's gonna be a first ballot

106
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 1: Hall of Famer. But as far as what you're gonna

107
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:48,160
Speaker 1: have to defend, you're gonna have to defend a guy.

108
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:50,360
Speaker 1: First of all, it's a very new ound route runner.

109
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 1: He's very long, so his catch radius, his spatial awareness

110
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 1: is absolutely excellent. He is a really good double move runner,

111
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 1: of excellent double move runner, and still at this point

112
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 1: in his career, he can still beat you over the top.

113
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:06,360
Speaker 1: So you're gonna have to do some things to help

114
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 1: over the top with this guy. And anytime you hear

115
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:11,920
Speaker 1: the word over the top when coaches describe it, it

116
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 1: means you're putting two people on him. So I went

117
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 1: back and pulled up his combine numbers, which are now

118
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,800
Speaker 1: ten years old. If you can believe this. At the

119
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 1: combine in two eleven, he measured just under sixty three

120
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 1: two hundred twenty pounds, arm length nearly thirty four inches,

121
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:34,159
Speaker 1: hand sized nearly ten inches. He ran four three four

122
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:38,720
Speaker 1: in the forty this ten years ago, did seventeen reps

123
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 1: on the bench, which is remarkable for an athlete with

124
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 1: arms that long who weighs two hundred and twenty pounds.

125
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:48,560
Speaker 1: His broad jump was one hundred and thirty five inches,

126
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 1: his vertical was thirty nine inches, his three cone six

127
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 1: point six six. Well, I mean that's all of those.

128
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:57,480
Speaker 1: I mean I witnessed all of that stuff in person,

129
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:00,040
Speaker 1: sitting there watching it. As I said, I've watched it.

130
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 1: He's a generational talent and so you knew that, you know,

131
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 1: wherever he went, if he if he was in the

132
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:07,800
Speaker 1: right environment, this guy was going to create and make

133
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 1: a difference. And he has and he still will. He

134
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 1: will here too. This is exciting, It really is. So

135
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 1: of those numbers that I read, like the four, three, four,

136
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 1: and I know he doesn't go out and run a

137
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 1: forty every day. How much of that is still there?

138
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 1: In your opinion? Is he a four, four or four guy? Now?

139
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 1: Is he? Has he lost much speed? Has he? I

140
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 1: will say this, he is a more nuanced route runner

141
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 1: now and so when early on in his career he

142
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 1: would he would do things full speed and sometimes take

143
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 1: himself out of things and just go on raw ability.

144
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 1: He's a nuanced runner now, but he can still beat

145
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 1: you over the top. He's got length and the thing

146
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 1: that's amazing about him. You just mention the hand size,

147
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 1: his spatial catches, his combat catches, if you go back

148
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 1: and watch him, because some people, again, if you're going

149
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 1: to play over the top of him and have somebody

150
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 1: to be underneath him, that all they have to do

151
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 1: is just worry about his intermediate cuts. He can still

152
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 1: get away from him, but still be shoulder to shoulder

153
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 1: and make the catch. That is all still there. The

154
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 1: four three four, I mean if he runs four four four,

155
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 1: who cares? If he runs four or five four, who cares?

156
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 1: He'll get behind people because they'll be worried about his routes. Well, MACKI,

157
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 1: I would assume that given the option, you would rather

158
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:24,880
Speaker 1: have a guy who is older and has that more

159
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 1: nuanced route running and is specific and is intentional with

160
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 1: angles and knows how to work the system in that

161
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 1: way as opposed to just being blindly fast and kind

162
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 1: of sloppy. Do you want a receiver, Okay, you don't

163
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:38,439
Speaker 1: want I guess you have to catch the ball too.

164
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 1: You want a receiver that understands how to be a receiver.

165
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 1: Because I've seen a lot of track guys in my

166
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 1: career come in and try to be receivers, and every

167
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 1: time the ball got involved, it was like they were

168
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 1: mad somebody who was throwing something at him. You know,

169
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:54,960
Speaker 1: they just you know, I mean, you've got to be

170
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 1: he's a receiver. Let me throw this at you too,

171
00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 1: all right. So looking at the Titans receivers now in

172
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:04,080
Speaker 1: talking about and they have thirteen on the roster. But

173
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 1: the guys who are either coming back or who've just

174
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:09,720
Speaker 1: been added through free agency or the draft, I'm going

175
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 1: to hit these. Cam Batson is five eight one seventy five.

176
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 1: After Cam Batson, you have a j Brown six one

177
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 1: two twenty six, Des Fitzpatrick, the rookie fourth round pick

178
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 1: out of Louisville six two two o eight, Racy McMath,

179
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:28,080
Speaker 1: rookie sixth round pick LSU six three two seventeen, Josh Reynolds,

180
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 1: free agent signee from the Rams six three one ninety six,

181
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:35,960
Speaker 1: and Nick Westbrook Akina six two two eleven. So outside

182
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:39,840
Speaker 1: of Batson, the Titans have big receivers. You add Julio

183
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:43,840
Speaker 1: sixty three roughly two twenty to that mix. Is that

184
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 1: designed specifically for the offense and maybe a preference towards

185
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 1: what Ryan Tannehill likes to work with well, first of all,

186
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:53,960
Speaker 1: anytime you've got a play action game like they have,

187
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 1: you want those bigger receivers because let's still remember we

188
00:09:57,360 --> 00:09:59,679
Speaker 1: have got a real dude back there in the backfield too.

189
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:02,520
Speaker 1: These receivers are going to be charged to block also

190
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 1: in this offense. And so the bigger bodies you always

191
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:09,079
Speaker 1: like what you like athletic bigger bodies. I'll tell you

192
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:11,559
Speaker 1: who's really going to benefit from this is Josh Reynolds.

193
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:13,880
Speaker 1: He's going to benefit big from this because all of

194
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 1: a sudden, now the pressure on him is not to

195
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 1: be that number two guy and all. Now he can

196
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:22,719
Speaker 1: free flow and come in and do some things. This

197
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:24,560
Speaker 1: is opens up a lot of things. We're always talking

198
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 1: about opening up the box. This opens up the box

199
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 1: vertically and horizontally for this offense. Now, so the Titans

200
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:34,880
Speaker 1: tend to be a lot of two tight ends. They

201
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 1: tend to run a lot of two tight end sets.

202
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:40,560
Speaker 1: With this edition, do they still run a lot of

203
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:43,960
Speaker 1: two tight end sets? Absolutely? Okay, no, no, you absolutely do.

204
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 1: Because still you're gonna have to worry about the two

205
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:49,200
Speaker 1: people on the edge on the outside and the other

206
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:51,480
Speaker 1: thing that you're going to know. Now, whoever you have

207
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 1: playing those two interior positions, they're going to be singled up.

208
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 1: You're not going to get anybody doubled on any type

209
00:10:57,400 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 1: of formation three by one, two by two, four by one,

210
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:03,439
Speaker 1: You're not going to get anybody inside doubled unless it's

211
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 1: one of these guys. Anybody else is going to be

212
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 1: singled up. So all you have to do as you

213
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:10,560
Speaker 1: go through your game planning week to week, Todd Downing

214
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:13,720
Speaker 1: will find the matchup, not necessarily the matchup. It's gonna

215
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 1: be on a j. Brown, or that's gonna be on Julio.

216
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:17,560
Speaker 1: Who they gonna match up on Ferk Sir? Who are

217
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 1: they gonna match up on? Rentals? Who are they going

218
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:21,600
Speaker 1: to match up on Darrington Evans when he splits out

219
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 1: of the backfield. Those are the matchups then that you

220
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:26,559
Speaker 1: start to exploit, and that's when you get defenses on

221
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 1: their left foot. This is the Titans' biggest trade for

222
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:35,440
Speaker 1: a player in twenty years, really, Kevin Carter in two

223
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:38,200
Speaker 1: thousand and one was obtained from the Rams for two

224
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 1: first round picks. Obviously, the Ryan Tannyhill trade was pretty good,

225
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 1: but they were trading for a backup quarterback at that time.

226
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:48,320
Speaker 1: The DeMarco Murray trade was a good trade overall, but

227
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 1: it certainly didn't have the excitement around it that this

228
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 1: one does. The fan base is just ecstatic. There's no

229
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 1: other way to put it. Holy Oaks. I was making

230
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:05,199
Speaker 1: breakfast this morning when all of this happened, and we

231
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 1: first started hearing the reports that this was a real

232
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:10,400
Speaker 1: thing that was going to happen. I thought someone died.

233
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 1: My phone was going so crazy. It was just message

234
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 1: after message after message and alert after alert. Titans fans

235
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:21,080
Speaker 1: are excited, my family is excited. Everybody is going crazy

236
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:24,080
Speaker 1: about this right now, and it's so exciting to see

237
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:27,680
Speaker 1: that kind of energy around the Tennessee Titans right now.

238
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:30,080
Speaker 1: I think Amy the energy is a great way to

239
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:32,920
Speaker 1: put it. I mean, I experienced the same thing. And

240
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:35,199
Speaker 1: what time is it today? We're doing this. We all

241
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 1: came to get together to do this at three fifteen.

242
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 1: I mean, I've already done four radio shows about this.

243
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 1: People calling me. I did one from Saskatchewan, Canada. You know,

244
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:45,920
Speaker 1: some gunk called wanting to know what the impact of

245
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 1: this was. This is this is exciting. This is the

246
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 1: move of the off season. This is the move of

247
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 1: the off season right now, in the National Football League,

248
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 1: and it comes at a really good time for this franchise,

249
00:12:57,360 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 1: and it comes at a really good time for the

250
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:02,440
Speaker 1: player involved. He is he's coming to a place that

251
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:05,559
Speaker 1: he's not only gonna be appreciated, he's gonna love playing here. Well,

252
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:09,160
Speaker 1: he's already excited apparently about playing here. A J. Brown,

253
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:13,520
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry, You've got Ryan Tannehill. I mean, they got

254
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 1: the four horsemen right there. I mean, I don't know

255
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 1: that this franchise has had that situation. Maybe ever. They

256
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:24,600
Speaker 1: certainly had some great units in Houston where they had

257
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:27,600
Speaker 1: Warren Moon and great receivers. The backs were good, but

258
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 1: I mean there was no Derreck Henry. And you consider

259
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:36,000
Speaker 1: who is in this group right now, and it's it's

260
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:40,360
Speaker 1: spectacular in terms of the excitement. It also changes the

261
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 1: level of expectation on the outside coach, which is fine.

262
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:45,800
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, the level of expectations with this

263
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:49,720
Speaker 1: organization interiorly never change. They don't change, and so the

264
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 1: exterior expectations, you know, doesn't bother anybody. What excites everybody

265
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 1: is is everybody else now you know that that's surrounding

266
00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:02,960
Speaker 1: it is focused on Hey, this team is doing everything

267
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 1: they can do to do something that we all want

268
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:08,440
Speaker 1: to get to. And that's what's important. And I think

269
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:12,200
Speaker 1: that expectation is fine because you've had five straight winning

270
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:14,720
Speaker 1: seasons in a row. Here. You know, you've been in

271
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:17,800
Speaker 1: the tournament and it's a it's a it's a throw

272
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:20,240
Speaker 1: of the dice every year in the National Football League.

273
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 1: We've got we've got a seventeenth game this year. But

274
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:26,600
Speaker 1: you're giving yourself a chance. You're giving itself a really

275
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:30,080
Speaker 1: good chance. And again I go, I go to John

276
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:33,600
Speaker 1: Robinson the way that he has handled this off season

277
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 1: so far, from start to finish, because this was a

278
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 1: challenging off seasons to begin with. You said this, Mike Keith,

279
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 1: you said earlier, this might be the most challenging off

280
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 1: season for a football team because it has had high

281
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:49,440
Speaker 1: expectations and you still have to maintain the hardest thing

282
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:51,800
Speaker 1: in the National Football League to do is maintained that

283
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 1: the hardest thing to do is maintain. He's given himself

284
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:57,720
Speaker 1: to maintain and go beyond. But at least what he

285
00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:00,840
Speaker 1: has done, he's done it methodically enough. And as I said,

286
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:03,280
Speaker 1: I mean, this is a guy that if you were

287
00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:06,240
Speaker 1: going to pay somebody to play poker for you, you know,

288
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 1: he would be the guy. Yeah, because this was not

289
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:11,240
Speaker 1: going to be an easy deal to do, and there's

290
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:14,680
Speaker 1: still work to be done. The trade is not consummated

291
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 1: all the way yet until he takes a physical, and

292
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 1: at the point that he takes a physical and they're

293
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:23,760
Speaker 1: ready to make it fully official, then they have to

294
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:26,520
Speaker 1: be under the salary cap, absolutely, So there is work

295
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:29,880
Speaker 1: to be done in different areas in that way. And

296
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:34,960
Speaker 1: John Robinson really, I think has given himself the ability

297
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:37,680
Speaker 1: to do what he has done in the offseason because

298
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 1: of the discipline that he showed in the five preceding years.

299
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:46,480
Speaker 1: He's let guys walk Yeah, he's chosen to let guys

300
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:49,840
Speaker 1: walk away. He's cut guys that he really would have

301
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 1: liked to have kept. But he was always shuffling the

302
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:58,080
Speaker 1: deck and not being sentimental and not racking up dead

303
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:02,240
Speaker 1: money against the cap. And that saved him this year

304
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:05,320
Speaker 1: is that the Titans did not enter the twenty twenty

305
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 1: one offseason with a ton of dead money. So this

306
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:10,800
Speaker 1: year he can do a little dead money. He can

307
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:13,240
Speaker 1: also find a way to make a deal like this. Well,

308
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:15,680
Speaker 1: that's exactly what happened, and that's exactly why he and

309
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 1: and plus I mean he does a great job of

310
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:21,320
Speaker 1: completely ignoring, you know, the exterior noise. He just he

311
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:24,560
Speaker 1: focuses on what's going on. And you talk about there

312
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:26,000
Speaker 1: are things that are going to have to do to

313
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:29,440
Speaker 1: make this thing, you know, consummated. Believe me, all things

314
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:31,960
Speaker 1: with he and Vin Marino, those have all been laid

315
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:34,400
Speaker 1: out there on a big board, you know, just as

316
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:36,600
Speaker 1: to how it's going to go. And so to me,

317
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:38,840
Speaker 1: as I say, that's the kind of steady hands you

318
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:40,720
Speaker 1: have to have on the wheel of a National Football

319
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 1: League club because so many general managers in this league

320
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:49,040
Speaker 1: fail because of this. They panic when they're right on

321
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:52,520
Speaker 1: the verge of something good happening, they panic. There's no

322
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:55,040
Speaker 1: panic in John Robinson. And this has to send a

323
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:57,520
Speaker 1: message not only to Titans fans, of course, but to

324
00:16:57,560 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 1: the team, to the players, to the coaches, to everyone.

325
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:03,880
Speaker 1: We mean business. We are willing to do everything that

326
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:06,280
Speaker 1: we possibly can to put this team in position to

327
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:08,639
Speaker 1: win it all. The other thing Amy and you and

328
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:10,439
Speaker 1: I actually we're talking about this on our way up

329
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:14,199
Speaker 1: here to do this is it also gives confidence to

330
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 1: the other players on the team, saying we believe in

331
00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:20,040
Speaker 1: you guys. We believe we are this close because of

332
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:22,440
Speaker 1: you guys. You know we don't. We don't believe we're

333
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:25,120
Speaker 1: this close just because of one person. But we believe.

334
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:28,200
Speaker 1: Adding an important piece is because you guys have put

335
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:31,639
Speaker 1: us in this position. So that shows a great belief

336
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:35,440
Speaker 1: in where the front office thinks about this football team.

337
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:37,480
Speaker 1: All right, I'm gonna throw this one around the horn.

338
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:39,719
Speaker 1: I'll ask you first, coach, who is the player that

339
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:43,680
Speaker 1: benefits the most on the Titans roster from the acquisition

340
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:48,560
Speaker 1: of Julio Jones. The offensive line. The offensive line benefits

341
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:52,199
Speaker 1: the most because they're going to see the lighter boxes

342
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:54,760
Speaker 1: they've ever seen in the last three years. I mean

343
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:57,440
Speaker 1: that we watched all last year, eight and a half

344
00:17:57,560 --> 00:17:59,400
Speaker 1: nine people in the box all the time. They won't

345
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:01,719
Speaker 1: see that anymore. They will not, and that makes it

346
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 1: That makes their job so much more easy to be

347
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:10,639
Speaker 1: able to operate, not knowing that your heels are on

348
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:13,000
Speaker 1: the edge of the cliff all of the time, all

349
00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:16,200
Speaker 1: of the time. Now people can't load up on them

350
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 1: up there. There's a lot of good things that are

351
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:19,399
Speaker 1: going to come off of this. I think it's the

352
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:22,359
Speaker 1: offensive line. I might be picking the obvious answer, but

353
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:25,840
Speaker 1: I think it's a J Brown for a variety of reasons. One,

354
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:28,240
Speaker 1: there's no one in America that's more excited than AJ

355
00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:31,000
Speaker 1: Brown right now, not a single human being alive. He

356
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:34,960
Speaker 1: is so fired up. He has the opportunity to on

357
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:38,879
Speaker 1: the field, of course, learn from his mentor, and it

358
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:41,240
Speaker 1: takes some of the pressure off of him. His world

359
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:44,480
Speaker 1: looks dramatically different now than it did twelve hours ago.

360
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:48,560
Speaker 1: His twenty twenty one outlook is vastly different because of

361
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:50,320
Speaker 1: the ways this offense is going to be run. Now.

362
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:53,440
Speaker 1: It's all going to be different now with a guy

363
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:56,000
Speaker 1: like Julio Jones in the room, and he gets to

364
00:18:56,080 --> 00:19:00,320
Speaker 1: learn from this guy. Julio Jones is a pros pro pro.

365
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:02,639
Speaker 1: He's been around for a long time. He knows how

366
00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:06,200
Speaker 1: to do this, and now he's a mentor for everybody

367
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 1: else in that room, but AJ, especially his hero in

368
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:12,480
Speaker 1: the building. I think that it's going to be awesome

369
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:15,720
Speaker 1: for j For me, it's Dez Fitzpatrick and Racy McMath,

370
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:19,400
Speaker 1: the two rookie receivers get to walk in this room

371
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:23,200
Speaker 1: with AJ, who's already a star in his own right,

372
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:26,399
Speaker 1: and now they get to be with the goat, you know,

373
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:29,840
Speaker 1: with the guy who, as AJ said, is the best

374
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 1: of this particular generation. I think Larry Fitzgerald from the

375
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:36,720
Speaker 1: group that. I mean, he's even further, He's almost another

376
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:39,880
Speaker 1: generation because of how long he's played. I take nothing

377
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:42,640
Speaker 1: away from him, but from the last ten years, it's

378
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:46,320
Speaker 1: been this guy. And I think for Racy, who is

379
00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:49,119
Speaker 1: a big bodied guy like that, who has shown a

380
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:51,880
Speaker 1: little more as a receiver than I think anybody thought

381
00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:55,119
Speaker 1: he would early on. And for Dez, who is a

382
00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:57,800
Speaker 1: really good young prospect, I think they're gonna have a

383
00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 1: chance to learn a lot, no doubt. I mean it's

384
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:03,640
Speaker 1: absolutely true. You know Rob Moore, you drafted Rob Moore.

385
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:08,040
Speaker 1: Rob Moore is now Julio Jones position coach. Where does

386
00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 1: he start with Julio in this process? What do they

387
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:13,639
Speaker 1: go to work on right away? Julio could not be

388
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:17,240
Speaker 1: with a better guy. I mean, this is a perfect

389
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:20,560
Speaker 1: pairing with Rob Moore, with this guy because first of all,

390
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:23,239
Speaker 1: I mean Rob Moore was Julio Jones. You know at

391
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:25,760
Speaker 1: one time, you know, you remember he was number one

392
00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:28,879
Speaker 1: in a supplemental draft for a reason. And then you

393
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:30,919
Speaker 1: know on the team when I when I had him,

394
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:33,240
Speaker 1: I mean, he was an exceptional athlete. He's a really

395
00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:35,840
Speaker 1: good coach now too, because he knows what these guys

396
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:39,080
Speaker 1: go through, and especially we've seen what he's done with A. J. Brown.

397
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:41,800
Speaker 1: He really understand We saw what he did with Corey Davis.

398
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:45,760
Speaker 1: He understands big physical receivers how their game has to

399
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:48,359
Speaker 1: be played and how they have to approach things. And

400
00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:51,160
Speaker 1: plus Rob Moore, is you talk about a pros pro

401
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:54,440
Speaker 1: He and Julio will hit it off immediately because, first

402
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:58,639
Speaker 1: of all, immense amount of respect going both channels, both channels,

403
00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:01,600
Speaker 1: immense amount of respect. He could not have come to

404
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:05,480
Speaker 1: a better coach. What is Mike Vrabel's first message to

405
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:08,919
Speaker 1: Julio Jones when they have a serious conversation. You're a

406
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:10,800
Speaker 1: big piece of what we want to do. You're a

407
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:13,240
Speaker 1: big piece of what we want to do. You're You're

408
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:15,399
Speaker 1: important to us. You were you were so important to

409
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:18,040
Speaker 1: us that we were willing to wait through everything that

410
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:21,880
Speaker 1: was happening. And everybody here is ready to embrace you.

411
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:25,520
Speaker 1: This city is ready to embrace you. And you fit

412
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:28,800
Speaker 1: our profile. You are you are you, You fit the

413
00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:34,760
Speaker 1: profile of a professional physical football player, and we, this

414
00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:37,880
Speaker 1: football team cannot wait to embrace you. In the locker room.

415
00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:40,960
Speaker 1: But more importantly, this city can't wait to embrace you.

416
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:44,679
Speaker 1: This for us, this was a very key cog in

417
00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:47,240
Speaker 1: where we want to keep going thanks to get done

418
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:50,000
Speaker 1: this week, to finish out this trade, to fully finish

419
00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:51,800
Speaker 1: at the physical and so on and so forth. Were

420
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:54,760
Speaker 1: discussing earlier. Do you try to get him in for

421
00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:58,280
Speaker 1: some work during the mini camp next week. I think

422
00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:00,560
Speaker 1: that's up to him. I mean, that's up to him.

423
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:02,800
Speaker 1: You know you when you talk to they will talk

424
00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:04,639
Speaker 1: this out. I mean, it's not like you're bringing in

425
00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:06,880
Speaker 1: a brand new guy. It's not a brand new guy.

426
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:09,160
Speaker 1: He understands, he gets it, he gets what's going on.

427
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:12,320
Speaker 1: And Mike Vrabel is that is the exact type of

428
00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:15,280
Speaker 1: coach you need for a veteran like this, because there's

429
00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:18,160
Speaker 1: no coach in this league, probably other than Bill Belichick

430
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:21,920
Speaker 1: that that understands veterans as well as Mike Vrabel does.

431
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:24,680
Speaker 1: He's been in their skin, he knows what they are

432
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:27,800
Speaker 1: going through. And so that will be between Mike Vrabel

433
00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:31,640
Speaker 1: Julio Jones, and then everything else will move forward from there.

434
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:34,120
Speaker 1: But so big, whether he takes part in an OTA

435
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:36,280
Speaker 1: or in a mini camp, amy he's going to be

436
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:38,359
Speaker 1: here for the start of training camp. It's not gonna

437
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:41,800
Speaker 1: be like Clowney that he shows up on September sixth,

438
00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:43,720
Speaker 1: or that you trade for him in the middle of

439
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:46,240
Speaker 1: the year. You're going to have this player from training

440
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:48,480
Speaker 1: camp all the way through, absolutely, and that's the time

441
00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:51,000
Speaker 1: that counts. This timing couldn't have worked out better in

442
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:55,560
Speaker 1: that he has time to get himself here, get the playbook,

443
00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:58,120
Speaker 1: meet with whatever coaches he needs to, and then jump

444
00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 1: in and training camp with everybody else. Well, the other

445
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:03,160
Speaker 1: part of it, too is get a place to live right,

446
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:06,040
Speaker 1: know where you're going, all the silly things, well, all

447
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:08,520
Speaker 1: of the things that the people on the outside don't

448
00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:11,040
Speaker 1: think of. When you come in on September sixth, you're

449
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:13,200
Speaker 1: more or less living in a hotel or bunking with

450
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:15,320
Speaker 1: a buddy, or you're trying to figure out to get

451
00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:17,600
Speaker 1: your clothes here. You're what are you going to drive

452
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:20,879
Speaker 1: while you're here? You know all of those sorts of details.

453
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:25,040
Speaker 1: And if you have family, then that's combined even further. Now.

454
00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:27,760
Speaker 1: I mean he's got two months to get all that straight, absolutely,

455
00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:31,000
Speaker 1: because after mini camp there's about six seven weeks that

456
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:34,560
Speaker 1: players are off right, so he has that time to

457
00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:37,880
Speaker 1: figure out the logistics, wrap up whatever vacations he already

458
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:41,359
Speaker 1: had planned. Everybody has trips during that time, but actually

459
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:44,960
Speaker 1: do the human parts of moving for your job. And

460
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:48,040
Speaker 1: then once training camp starts, devote all of his time

461
00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:50,480
Speaker 1: and attention to the Tennessee Titans and being a part

462
00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:52,679
Speaker 1: of this offense, which is great, you know, having been

463
00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:54,760
Speaker 1: on the coaching side of these things when you bring

464
00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:57,360
Speaker 1: people in. I say, another thing is advantageous for him

465
00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:01,960
Speaker 1: and for the Titans is the geographic proximity. I mean,

466
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:03,840
Speaker 1: you know, he just write down the road and so

467
00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:06,160
Speaker 1: all these things that Amy talks about. It's not like

468
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:08,359
Speaker 1: you're going clear across the country and you're going to

469
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:10,840
Speaker 1: a completely different I mean, this's just so that that

470
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:13,399
Speaker 1: fits in perfect and it is important. I mean, because

471
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:16,000
Speaker 1: to be able to be comfortable in your work, you've

472
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:18,520
Speaker 1: got to be comfortable away from work, and so that

473
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:20,879
Speaker 1: that'll be important for him too. But he's been in

474
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:23,240
Speaker 1: the league long enough and knows enough and knows enough

475
00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:26,199
Speaker 1: about what goes on. That transition period will still be

476
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:28,600
Speaker 1: a transition period because all of us, I mean, you know,

477
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:30,560
Speaker 1: when you change and go to a new place, you

478
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:33,440
Speaker 1: change jobs. There are new things, just as you said,

479
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:35,640
Speaker 1: the human part of it. But the fact that it's

480
00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:38,720
Speaker 1: it's still right down the road pretty nice for him.

481
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:41,439
Speaker 1: Let the experts at Farm Bureau Health Plans coach you

482
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:43,800
Speaker 1: through it when you need great healthcare coverage at a

483
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:46,960
Speaker 1: price you can afford. They've been protecting Tennessee and since

486
00:24:56,960 --> 00:25:01,600
Speaker 1: Julio Jones acquired today by Tennessee Titans. Did you think

487
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:05,240
Speaker 1: we would say it, Amy Wells? No, I didn't. I

488
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:07,560
Speaker 1: really didn't. I want to say yeah, I knew it.

489
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:10,399
