Speaker 1: we don't like to usually launch two podcasts on the

00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:33,679
Speaker 1: same day because the various production reasons we had to,

34
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:37,120
Speaker 1: So if you're listening to this podcast, make sure you

35
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:41,200
Speaker 1: go back you listen to the coordinators. I had a

36
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:43,679
Speaker 1: chance to interview all three Giants coordinators. I sat down

37
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 1: with them in our studio for ten minutes or so

38
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 1: with each guy, so it's not super long, but it's

39
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 1: a really good conversation. I made sure I ask these

40
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 1: guys questions they have not been asked at the podium before.

41
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 1: It's more big picture philosophical stuff, great stuff to kind

42
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 1: of understand what these guys about, how they're thinking, and

43
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 1: how they're going to approach their jobs. This year, I

44
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 1: learned a lot from Thomas mcgahey about special teams. Wink

45
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 1: Martindale was great talking about the type of players that

46
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 1: he wants um on his defense and and how he

47
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:15,679
Speaker 1: thinks about certain positions. And then Mike Hafka talked a

48
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 1: lot about the offense and kind of his philosophical approach,

49
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 1: and and we got into some of the town on

50
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 1: the roster and how that's gonna, you know, blend into

51
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 1: the type of offense that him and Briandable are gonna run.

52
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 1: And we got a lot into how they game plan

53
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:29,040
Speaker 1: each week to which I thought was interesting, and how

54
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 1: he works together with Daniel Jones and Brian Dable in

55
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 1: game Planet. So again, make sure you go to the

56
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 1: podcast previous to this one. I don't usually tell you

57
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 1: things are a must listen. This is a must listen, folks.

64
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 1: in the middle, but let's lead off with my interview

65
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:00,639
Speaker 1: with Giants wide receiver Kenny Golladay Ken Man, good to see.

Speaker 1: no more, No matter where you're at, it's gonna always

71
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:16,640
Speaker 1: pretty much be like a packed house. Um, it's nothing

72
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 1: like running out that tunnel, you know, first game of

73
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 1: the season. So how you're feeling physically and mentally emotionally

74

00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 1: of work. I feel great. Um, I feel like I'm

76
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 1: physically and mentally prepared. I'm excited to get it going.

77
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 1: You know, he talk physically, You've had to fight through

78
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 1: injuries for the last couple of years, but this year,

79
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 1: I mean I can't really remember maybe more than one practice.

80
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 1: You didn't do everything out there this summer. You've been

81
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 1: out there. Is this as good as you physically felt

82
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 1: heading into a season for a while, Uh? Definitely. Um.

83
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 1: You know I felt hard as I could to be

84
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 1: out there last year for the first game. You know,

85
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 1: still really wasn't um. This year, I definitely feel you know,

86
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 1: d p Um. Like I said, I can't say it,

87
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 1: you know enough if I'm I'm very excited. Um, body wise,

88
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 1: I feel good. How important was it for you to

89
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 1: be out there to build that chemistry in a new

90
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 1: offense with Brian Dable and Daniel Jones so you can

91
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 1: hit the ground running in week one? Very important, man, Um,

92
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 1: Like you said, getting that chemistry DJ, also getting the

93
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 1: chemistry with other whiteouts, in the chemistry with how day

94
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 1: Ball wants it, how my receiver coach wants it. Um,

95
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:24,599
Speaker 1: that's huge. And for me to be out there, you

96
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 1: know every practice that was great. And you know, the

97
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:28,720
Speaker 1: players and coaches have talked about if this isn't a

98
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 1: run the pattern on the sheet of paper type of offense,

99
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 1: So is getting that feel with your other wide receivers

100
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:38,679
Speaker 1: and with Daniel even more important in this game? Definitely? Um,

101
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 1: you know, like you said, it's not running the lines

102
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:43,360
Speaker 1: on the paper. Is it's more so. You know, I

103
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:45,719
Speaker 1: would like to say receiver friendly, but if you're not

104
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 1: out there on that practice field, you know, DJ won't

105
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:51,359
Speaker 1: have a good feel of what you actually are trying

106
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 1: to run. So once you go out there each and

107
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 1: every day with him and he knows exactly what you're doing,

108
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,719
Speaker 1: did you get enough good working and practice ending games

109
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 1: where you think you and DJ are going to be

110
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 1: of one mind here where he's gonna know what you're

111
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:06,239
Speaker 1: gonna do depending on what type of coverage of defense

112
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 1: is gonna show on a given play. Definitely, but you know,

113
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 1: this season is very long. There's definitely gonna be some

114
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:16,040
Speaker 1: bumps in the roads, um just just going as different defenses.

115
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:18,279
Speaker 1: They're gonna throw different looks at you. You know, we

116
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 1: might get caught once or twice, but you know we

117
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 1: will also be able to kept last. You know. And

118
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 1: given the way you play right, you're so big, you're

119
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 1: so long, you're strong. You know this offense does it

120
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 1: play to your strengths a little bit because you don't

121
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:32,920
Speaker 1: need a ton of room to be open. So if

122
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:34,919
Speaker 1: you can use those angles, be on the same page

123
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:38,720
Speaker 1: with Daniel, work against leverage properly, does that just increase

124
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 1: your ability to be effective given the freedom that they're

125
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 1: giving you to adjust to the coverage. Uh, definitely. And

126
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 1: I'll also like to say, you know, just being a

127
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 1: big body for DJ, you know, almost like a security blanket,

128
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 1: I would say, just you know, I know that guy,

129
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 1: make to play. That's that's that's all I want, you know,

130
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 1: for the offense and for DJ. You know, some some

131
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 1: somebody who can just trust me to know how I'll

132
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 1: make the player. Do you say that to him? Where? Look,

133
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:04,360
Speaker 1: if you don't see anyone and I just have one

134
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 1: guy on me, dude, just throw to me, let me

135
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 1: make a play. I don't say that, reason reason being, Um,

136
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:13,119
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm just not that type of guy that's gonna,

137
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 1: you know, go to the quarterback and say throw it

138
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:17,839
Speaker 1: to me. Um, you gotta earn it. You know, you

139
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 1: earn that on the field. And UM, I like to

140
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 1: just lead by example. And you know, if we're out

141
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:25,479
Speaker 1: there repping it, you know, over and over and over,

142
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 1: you know, he'll he'll get you know, a sense to

143
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 1: and feel that like, Okay, I believe that K you

144
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:32,680
Speaker 1: would be right there where I need to be. Um.

145
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 1: So that's that's really how much I agree about it.

146
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 1: You mentioned the wide receiver room, getting chemistry with them.

147
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 1: You guys got chepped back about halfway through training camp.

148
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 1: What do you see when you look at this group.

149
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 1: Do you think it's a nice combination of a various

150
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:47,600
Speaker 1: skill sets to really get the most out of this offense? Definitely? Um,

151
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:49,719
Speaker 1: I mean you can even throw Say Kwan in there,

152
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 1: you know, Brita. It's it's a it's a lot of

153
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 1: weapons on this on this offense. You don't know who

154
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 1: can really get the ball, you know, um, I guess

155
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:02,040
Speaker 1: luckily for opposing teams is only one ball. But at

156
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:06,120
Speaker 1: the same time, um getting shipped back, getting kt back.

157
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:08,479
Speaker 1: You know, me and one Dale you know out there

158
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 1: pretty much. You know, Say Kwan's out there, breeders out

159
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 1: there are tight ends out there. You know it's seals.

160
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 1: Don't let me forget seals, um Man. We can we

161
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 1: can really be special. I think as far as just

162
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 1: making plays. You know, like I said, you don't know

163
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 1: who who can get the ball. But I think the

164
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 1: coaches and each other we have the most you know,

165
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 1: belief in each other. It's having like a basketball team

166
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 1: group of wide receivers. I say, basket when you got

167
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 1: the little quick guys, you got the big guys, and

168
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 1: you have like the guys that are like the wings

169
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 1: that can do a little bit everything. Doesn't help to

170
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 1: have that those different types of guys that win in

171
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 1: different ways to to make an offense more dangerous. Oh definitely. Um.

172
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 1: You know you have you know, shot plays underneath plays,

173
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:50,720
Speaker 1: you know, possession plays or just you know, I said

174
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 1: shot plays, but you know, just explosive plays. I don't

175
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 1: have to be you know, uh seven yard bomb every time,

176
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 1: but I mean explosive play, you know, the twenty yard

177
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:00,160
Speaker 1: catch over the middle of still you know, explore us

178
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 1: to play so um and I feel like all all

179
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 1: all of us can do that, you know. Um. So

180
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 1: I think that's gonna make it hard for defenses. We

181
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 1: all know how important explosive plays are to scoring in

182
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 1: the modern NFL. Kenny, what is it about the scheme

183
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 1: and the system Dable and cough give put together, combined

184
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 1: with your guys skill sets, that you think this group

185
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 1: can be a group that can put consistent explosive plays

186
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 1: on the field weekend week out. Um or one thing?

187
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 1: You know with Kafka and Dave's um, you know they're

188
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 1: not afraid to call those type of plays, you know,

189
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 1: and that's what the receiver, you know, quarterback like, Um

190
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:38,679
Speaker 1: being not afraid to call those plays, having all the

191
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:41,200
Speaker 1: belief in us that we go down and make those

192
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:45,680
Speaker 1: plays come down with those balls, Um making one guy missing,

193
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 1: you know, taking it forty plus yards. Um, you know

194
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 1: you have a coach, coaches that believe in you. You

195
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 1: know this is perfect. Two more questions. One, you play

196
00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 1: against this Giant's defensive backgroup every day in practice. What

197
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:02,439
Speaker 1: fans be prepared for, how what they're going to bring

198
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 1: to the field, and how they're going to give trouble

199
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:08,440
Speaker 1: to opposing wide receivers based on what you've seen in practice. Um,

200
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 1: are you just talking about like d b dB Wise, Yeah,

201
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 1: A Dory, Aaron Dornay, those guys, Um just scrap you guys,

202
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 1: scrap you guys. Um they can all run cover well. Um,

203
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:21,200
Speaker 1: I feel like it's just gonna people. They're gonna be

204
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:23,839
Speaker 1: people who just buy you all the time, just you know,

205
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 1: being a pest, just nagging the entire time throughout the route. Um,

206
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:29,560
Speaker 1: Like I said, they can run, so that helps. All right,

207
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 1: Let's talk about the opponents specifically. When you watch the

208
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:34,360
Speaker 1: Titans there, the ability of their corners and the scheme

209
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 1: that they run. What are some of the challenges they're

210
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 1: gonna bring to the football field for your group on

211
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:41,400
Speaker 1: Sunday afternoon? Um? What those those guys, you know they've

212
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 1: been they've been doing the right thing, you know, the

213
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:46,600
Speaker 1: defense wise, they've been doing the right thing for a

214
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 1: few years now. I want to say they didn't been

215
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:52,600
Speaker 1: playoffs fo times NFC championship game. Um, so it's gonna

216
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:56,800
Speaker 1: be definitely a tough um, a tough defense. But at

217
00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,320
Speaker 1: the end of the day, Um, it's just ball. You know,

218
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:01,199
Speaker 1: they still have to worry about us. You know, of

219
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:03,840
Speaker 1: course we're gonna be worried about them. It's all gonna

220
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:05,800
Speaker 1: come down to execute. Are you expecting a lot of

221
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 1: man to man A lot like you've seen Frankly and

222
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:11,240
Speaker 1: Camp over the past about the half. Uh, To be honest, man,

223
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:14,240
Speaker 1: you you never know, you know. Um, with the first game,

224
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:16,320
Speaker 1: each each team is still trying to, you know, find

225
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:18,880
Speaker 1: his identity a little bit. Um. So I'm pretty much

226
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:21,599
Speaker 1: ready for whatever. Cool let's right here. Uh do you

227
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 1: start start of a new year? Every new Year's the

228
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:25,680
Speaker 1: new beginning, But do you one of you This is

229
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 1: almost like a new beginning for you in New York

230
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 1: because you mentioned last year you're fighting through injuries, you

231
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 1: tried to get back on the field. Do you see

232
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:33,320
Speaker 1: this could be almost be like a fresh start for

233
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 1: you after a couple of years deal with injuries. To

234
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:37,920
Speaker 1: be honest, as a fresh start for everybody in the building,

235
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:41,600
Speaker 1: coaches wise, fresh start for them at a new place. Um,

236
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 1: even though you know it's gonna be my second year here,

237
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:46,680
Speaker 1: you know, with the organization, but you know, still getting

238
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 1: adjusted to the coaches and that's all you know, that's

239
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:50,560
Speaker 1: all that matters. Um, You know, as long as you've

240
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:52,320
Speaker 1: gained that trust of the coaches. Like I said, so,

241
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 1: I always say, it's a fresh star for everyone. Kenny,

Speaker 1: played by play man Mike Keith. Giants opened the regular

254

260
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:49,680
Speaker 1: as well has everything on your end. Everything is really

261
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:53,000
Speaker 1: good from the standpoint that we're about ready to do

262
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:55,840
Speaker 1: this thing. I think for all of us when you

263
00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 1: get to the point that you're within hours of kickoff

264
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 1: instead of just DA's away, you can see it and

265
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 1: and everybody here, like you know, the other thirty one

266
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 1: NFL cities, are are very excited. Absolutely, and we certainly

267
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 1: echo your sentiments. And normally, Mike I would start the

268
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:15,719
Speaker 1: conversation off with the offensive side of the ball, but

269
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:18,200
Speaker 1: it's fair to say, the biggest storyline coming out of

270
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:21,160
Speaker 1: Tennessee right now is the defense, given the loss of

271
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 1: one of their best defensive playmakers, Harold Landry for the

272
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 1: season because of a torn a c L he suffered

273
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 1: in practice, and they just rewarded him this offseason with

274
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:33,120
Speaker 1: a contract extension. So two part question here, how does

275
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 1: this change the dynamics of the pass rush in your mind?

276
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 1: And who is first up to step in for the

277
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:43,319
Speaker 1: injured Harold Landry. The thing that you need to understand

278
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 1: first and foremost is Harold is one of the five

279
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 1: best football players on this team, and his dynamic within

280
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:54,959
Speaker 1: the Titans in terms of how he plays is exactly

281
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 1: what they want to look like, whether it's offense, defense

282
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 1: or special teams. Harold land three, in the last three seasons,

283
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:07,000
Speaker 1: has played over nine of the snaps. He rushes the passer, yes,

284
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:12,120
Speaker 1: but he also really plays outstanding run defense. He's the

285
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:15,440
Speaker 1: guy that if someone catches a screen pass and goes

286
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:19,720
Speaker 1: for fifteen yards, he runs them down. He actually plays

287
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 1: in pass coverage. They will drop him in coverage in

288
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 1: certain instances so they can blitz from another angle to

289
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:30,680
Speaker 1: fool the defense. You can't replace it. There's just nobody

290
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:34,200
Speaker 1: gonna be on the market that gives them the ability

291
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 1: to replace what Harold Landry does. So I think both

292
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:40,959
Speaker 1: of the answers to your question tying too or your

293
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 1: questions I should say, tie into one thing, and that

294
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:46,480
Speaker 1: is it's probably gonna take a lot of people to

295
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:50,080
Speaker 1: make this happen. They have Rashode Weaver, a second year

296
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 1: pass rusher from pitt who had an outstanding preseason. He

297
00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:57,439
Speaker 1: is coming off injury. They have Ola A Dainty, who

298
00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:00,840
Speaker 1: is the special team's captain, who also rushes the passer well,

299
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 1: but he is not as big a guy. They have

300
00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:06,679
Speaker 1: a guy that they just picked up from the Pittsburgh

301
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 1: Steelers off waivers, a motor type player, Derek Tuska, and

302
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:14,640
Speaker 1: he fits this system in terms of style of play.

303
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 1: And then they have several defensive linemen who can rotate

304
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 1: through at that spot. They can swing outside and can

305
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:26,200
Speaker 1: do some different things in different ways, and I think

306
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 1: Lance it's gonna take some of all of them to

307
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 1: make it happen. But when we heard the news that

308
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 1: this had happened at practice and you know, he walked

309
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 1: off the practice field, it was one of those you're saying, well,

310
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 1: maybe it's not so bad. You know, maybe it's just

311
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 1: a maybe he just you know, pulled a muscle, or

312
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 1: it's something minor. And when we got the news, everybody

313
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:50,440
Speaker 1: here was just crestfallen for the fact that Harold is

314
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 1: so admired, much like Derrick Henry is, much like Kevin

315
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 1: Byard is, much like Jeff Simmons is, you know, Ryan Tannehill,

316
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:02,880
Speaker 1: those guy who means so much to the overall football

317
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 1: team for the stature that they have in terms of

318
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:09,960
Speaker 1: how they played the game. Long answer to your questions,

319
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 1: but it's a blow. Well, Mike, how much of the

320
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:16,320
Speaker 1: burden kind of falls on the shoulders of Bud Dupree.

321
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:18,760
Speaker 1: I mean, he's now two years removed from the A

322
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 1: c L. I know he missed half the time last

323
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 1: year and then came back and clearly he wasn't himself.

324
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:28,280
Speaker 1: Will they try to move him around a lot? Or

325
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 1: is he just gonna keep coming from one side? And

326
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:34,800
Speaker 1: and what are they asking from him? I think, honestly,

327
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 1: whatever they were gonna do with Bud is what they're

328
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:40,400
Speaker 1: still gonna do. I think they're just gonna ask him

329
00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:44,600
Speaker 1: to fill the role that he was already set to fill. Now,

330
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 1: production wise, Yes, you need the numbers, you know you

331
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:53,600
Speaker 1: you're looking to replace twelve sacks. Dupre's situation was interesting

332
00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 1: because he signs the big contract comes here after the

333
00:15:56,440 --> 00:16:00,240
Speaker 1: a c L and he wanted to play right way,

334
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:03,600
Speaker 1: and guess what, he made a mistake, and so he

335
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:06,840
Speaker 1: played early in the season. He just had no snap

336
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:08,680
Speaker 1: in that knee. You know, he just didn't feel like

337
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:13,920
Speaker 1: everything was firing. He went back, sat out, did more rehab,

338
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:17,359
Speaker 1: and then all of the sudden, when we got to December,

339
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:20,920
Speaker 1: the guy they signed for all that money was here.

340
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 1: So my expectation is that bud Dupree is going to

341
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:29,160
Speaker 1: continue that in that same way and play the way

342
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:33,400
Speaker 1: he does. He's not Landry, but he's a different sort

343
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:36,920
Speaker 1: of talent. He's a bigger player, you know. He's obviously

344
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 1: a fierce pass rusher with a lot of different moves.

345
00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:44,600
Speaker 1: He has really good size. But I don't think they

346
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 1: will say, Okay, we're gonna do something philosophical with him

347
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:53,200
Speaker 1: any differently. I think they're just saying, hey, Bud, go

348
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:56,320
Speaker 1: be the best bud Dupree you can be. We'd love

349
00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 1: to have double digit sacks from you this year, and

350
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:01,680
Speaker 1: we're not going to ask you to do things that

351
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:03,800
Speaker 1: would take you out of your element. Well, Mike, to

352
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:07,000
Speaker 1: your point, certainly feasible that he can get double digit

353
00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:10,560
Speaker 1: sacks based on what he did in Pittsburgh. But interestingly,

354
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:13,879
Speaker 1: Tennessee was the only team last season with three players

355
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 1: to record eight or more sacks. And the reason I'm

356
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:19,879
Speaker 1: bringing that statistic up, Mike is the fact that it

357
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:22,399
Speaker 1: came a long way the pass rush, because remember they

358
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:24,240
Speaker 1: had nine two years ago, all of a sudden, they

359
00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:26,639
Speaker 1: jumped to forty three. I'm not trying to take anything

360
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 1: away from Landry, but Denico Autry had a very solid

361
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:32,359
Speaker 1: season who came over from the Colts. I guess what

362
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:36,400
Speaker 1: I'm saying is how much is this pass rush more piecemeal,

363
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:40,960
Speaker 1: meaning multiple components as opposed to them necessarily leaning on

364
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:44,560
Speaker 1: one guy in particular. Even though Landry did have twelve

365
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:47,240
Speaker 1: last year, That's exactly what it is. I mean, you

366
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:49,160
Speaker 1: said it. You know, they had nine in the playoff

367
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:53,919
Speaker 1: game against Cincinnati and it was crazy. I mean they

368
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:58,720
Speaker 1: had two more that were taken away because the whistle

369
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 1: blew when an offensive lineman jumped off sides or there

370
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:05,240
Speaker 1: was a time out and actual plays were run. I

371
00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:08,280
Speaker 1: mean guys were trying to block and couldn't block him,

372
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 1: so realistically they had eleven. It was crazy and it

373
00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:16,520
Speaker 1: came from everywhere. Jeff Simmons is the is the first

374
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:19,400
Speaker 1: guy to watch. Jeffrey Simmons, who we refer to down

375
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:23,600
Speaker 1: here as Big Jeff, is the guy who makes it

376
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:27,760
Speaker 1: all go uh. And he has taken a major step

377
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:30,920
Speaker 1: in every year in his career. If he does that

378
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:34,960
Speaker 1: again this year, he becomes a superstar. I think he

379
00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:38,480
Speaker 1: becomes one of those guys you start to talk about

380
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:42,600
Speaker 1: in an Aaron Donald class. And I don't say that lightly.

381
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:45,879
Speaker 1: I hate comparisons and I hate throwing out, you know,

382
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:49,440
Speaker 1: sort of platitudes for no reason. But this guy is

383
00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:55,159
Speaker 1: a great football player, the Nico Autry, uh, master of

384
00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:58,719
Speaker 1: a lot of different things, a guy who came up

385
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:02,040
Speaker 1: the hard way, was an drafted player, a guy when

386
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:05,280
Speaker 1: he was in Oakland we couldn't block, a guy who

387
00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:08,879
Speaker 1: he was in Indianapolis, we couldn't block. So we signed

388
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 1: him even even if we had never played him, even

389
00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:14,360
Speaker 1: if we just said, hey, you just sit on the sideline,

390
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 1: it would have been money well spent because he tortured es. Well.

391
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:21,760
Speaker 1: Then he comes in here and does the same thing

392
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:25,600
Speaker 1: for us. To me, he is a huge key component

393
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:29,120
Speaker 1: in all of this. And then you have Zack Cunningham,

394
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:31,959
Speaker 1: who I think is sort of the untalked about factor.

395
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:34,720
Speaker 1: The Titans got him late in the year off waivers

396
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:38,080
Speaker 1: when Houston decided they didn't want one of the best

397
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 1: linebackers in football. And he is a guy who has

398
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:45,359
Speaker 1: pass rush ability. Kevin Byard and a Monty Hooker the

399
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:49,680
Speaker 1: safeties are both good blitzers. So it can come from

400
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:53,240
Speaker 1: a lot of different places with this scheme. The reason

401
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 1: they got so much better last year is they improved

402
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 1: the talent. It just said John Robinson said at the

403
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:02,400
Speaker 1: end of he said, you know, we're just not good

404
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:06,200
Speaker 1: enough on defense. It's not scheme, it's not coaching. It's

405
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:08,320
Speaker 1: we got to get some better players. And they went

406
00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:11,720
Speaker 1: out and did, and then guys who had already been

407
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:15,240
Speaker 1: here fed off that edition of the talent and the

408
00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:18,640
Speaker 1: scheme and everything they wanted to do sort of kicked

409
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:21,280
Speaker 1: in the gear. Mike, let me go to the secondary

410
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:25,440
Speaker 1: because it seems to me there there are two kind

411
00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:29,280
Speaker 1: of questionable or unproven things that need to be addressed.

412
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:31,960
Speaker 1: First of all, calib Farley, coming off of the the

413
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:35,080
Speaker 1: a c L last year appears from what I've read,

414
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:37,920
Speaker 1: to perhaps have lost his starting job on the corner

415
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:40,840
Speaker 1: to Roger McCreary, who we know at all burn was

416
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:43,560
Speaker 1: a really good press corner and that's the reason they

417
00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:47,520
Speaker 1: drafted him in the second round. And then nickelback Elijah

418
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:52,200
Speaker 1: uh Molded. I'm reading that he's on the injury report

419
00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:55,880
Speaker 1: with a groin. Now, if those two guys can't play

420
00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 1: up the bar in the secondary, that might be an

421
00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:02,040
Speaker 1: area the Giants water attack certainly. I mean, you're we've

422
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:05,600
Speaker 1: got some some questions and some youth there. Uh listen,

423
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:09,720
Speaker 1: mccrarry's gonna play, and and and Farley's gonna play too.

424
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:12,959
Speaker 1: You're you're gonna see both of those guys. The Titans

425
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:17,399
Speaker 1: traded for Ugo Amadi, who had played the nickel in Seattle,

426
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:21,080
Speaker 1: and if Movin can't go, I'd say Ugo will have

427
00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 1: some kind of role and kind of exciting for for him.

428
00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:27,720
Speaker 1: He's a Nashville native, so he's very excited to be back.

429
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:30,080
Speaker 1: And then they have a couple of other young guys

430
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:34,720
Speaker 1: that they've been teaching various positions in the secondary, trying

431
00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:38,840
Speaker 1: to to give them some versatility. But listen, Moben did

432
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:41,439
Speaker 1: a nice job for this team last year, really did

433
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 1: a super job as especially as a rookie in the

434
00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:51,000
Speaker 1: nickel role. Um. I think you could see guys line

435
00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:54,320
Speaker 1: up in all different sorts of places as they try

436
00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:57,719
Speaker 1: to figure out the best combination. But sure, I mean

437
00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:00,960
Speaker 1: it's something we will be watching in this ballgame, like

438
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:03,480
Speaker 1: I'm sure the Giants will. We're talking with Mike Keith

439
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:06,000
Speaker 1: Titans Radio played by play announcers are getting a set

440
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:09,360
Speaker 1: for the Week one matchup for the Giants in Tennessee. Mike,

441
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:12,360
Speaker 1: as we transition to other facets of this Titans team,

442
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:15,280
Speaker 1: I want to focus on the coordinators. And the reason

443
00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:18,320
Speaker 1: I bring that up is while Tennessee has continuity staff

444
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:20,159
Speaker 1: is still in place, the Giants are a bit of

445
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:24,080
Speaker 1: a wild card this season. Brand new coaching staff, new schemes,

446
00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:27,200
Speaker 1: a lot of new players. So if you're Tennessee, you're

447
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:30,639
Speaker 1: watching I'm sure Buffalo and Kansas City film based on

448
00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:34,800
Speaker 1: Brian Dable and Mike Cafis connections. But if you're the offense,

449
00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:39,440
Speaker 1: you're probably focusing on Baltimore with Wink, Martin Dale, and interestingly, Mike.

450
00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:42,200
Speaker 1: The Titans played the Ravens twice in two thousand twenty

451
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:45,520
Speaker 1: and the regular season in the playoffs two completely different outcomes.

452
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:49,120
Speaker 1: But I guess what I'm getting at is how advantageous

453
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:52,200
Speaker 1: do you think it will be for the Tennessee offense

454
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:56,080
Speaker 1: that Ryan Tannehill and company have been exposed to winks

455
00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:59,399
Speaker 1: Baltimore scheme. Well, if you've seen what he did to

456
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:01,680
Speaker 1: us to best time we've played him, you'd probably say

457
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:05,040
Speaker 1: not much. He worked just over uh in a playoff game.

458
00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:08,520
Speaker 1: We played him three times in less than a year.

459
00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:11,280
Speaker 1: We played him in the a f C Divisional Round

460
00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:15,280
Speaker 1: in January, a regular season game that we want in

461
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:20,440
Speaker 1: overtime at Baltimore, and then the playoff game where Baltimore

462
00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:24,040
Speaker 1: came to Nashville and won thirteen and really shut the

463
00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:26,840
Speaker 1: Titans down. Yeah, we know Wing Martindale and we know

464
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:30,239
Speaker 1: what's coming. Wink Martindale would blits his own mother. I mean,

465
00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:34,320
Speaker 1: that's just the way. And he may have for all

466
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:38,680
Speaker 1: I know. Um, he's coming, you know, and but but

467
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:41,680
Speaker 1: you don't know where he's coming from, right, and you

468
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:44,520
Speaker 1: don't know who he will utilize in some of those

469
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:49,800
Speaker 1: packages and the way that he is able to sort

470
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:54,440
Speaker 1: of um, disguise, the various looks, and the fact that

471
00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:56,520
Speaker 1: the Titans are gonna have two new starters on the

472
00:23:56,600 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 1: offensive line. The tight end core is relatively new to hear,

473
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:04,000
Speaker 1: two of the three guys who a player knew, the

474
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:07,080
Speaker 1: receivers are kind of new, and so they're gonna have

475
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:10,959
Speaker 1: to make adjustments. I mean, there's a there's a tremendous challenge.

476
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:13,760
Speaker 1: Would it be better for the Titans if they were

477
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:16,919
Speaker 1: playing some team that just laid back and played zone,

478
00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:19,600
Speaker 1: you know, played Tampa two of some sort, and didn't

479
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 1: try to bring pressure, Yeah, that would be better, because

480
00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:27,360
Speaker 1: Wink Martindale is going to come with pressure, pressure, pressure.

481
00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:29,760
Speaker 1: He's gonna try to make big plays. He wants to

482
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:32,920
Speaker 1: get off the field, he wants to turn the football over,

483
00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:36,240
Speaker 1: he wants to force you into bad plays. The change

484
00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:40,520
Speaker 1: field position. In those setups, you do have some opportunities

485
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:44,760
Speaker 1: for big plays. But what Wink Martindale knows is his

486
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:48,120
Speaker 1: chances of having a big play on defense are better

487
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:52,120
Speaker 1: than your chances of making a big play against him.

488
00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:55,479
Speaker 1: And I thought when they hired him, when when they

489
00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:58,760
Speaker 1: went in that direction, I thought, that is so smart

490
00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:02,520
Speaker 1: of everybody is so created with the Giants because you know,

491
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:05,960
Speaker 1: whatever happened in Baltimore time was up, I guess. But

492
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:09,560
Speaker 1: he's a really, really good football coach. And I know

493
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:13,639
Speaker 1: in watching the preparation for Wink Martindale teams over the

494
00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:17,879
Speaker 1: years and this week it's so much about having to

495
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:21,640
Speaker 1: be precise and having to be on point with everything,

496
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:24,080
Speaker 1: and you guys know this a lot of times in

497
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:27,320
Speaker 1: Week one you're not. So it's a it's a really

498
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:31,720
Speaker 1: really tough draw for anybody. Well, despite the challenge for

499
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:35,040
Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill, Mike, I'm reading quotes about him that it's

500
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:38,639
Speaker 1: still burns in his gut about the last moments of

501
00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:42,000
Speaker 1: that pick against Cincinnati that led to the winning field

502
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:45,280
Speaker 1: goal that sent the Bengals into the next round little playoffs.

503
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:49,320
Speaker 1: I mean, if I'm to believe the quotes, Tannehill is

504
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:52,320
Speaker 1: loaded for bear. What kind of camp has he had

505
00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:56,639
Speaker 1: and and do you think that the team has lost

506
00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:59,639
Speaker 1: any level of confidence in him after what happened in

507
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:02,560
Speaker 1: that season. I do not think they've lost any level

508
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:06,200
Speaker 1: of confidence in him at all. And I think what

509
00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:11,040
Speaker 1: what I've seen from Tannehill is an intensity from July

510
00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 1: on he walked back and you know a lot of

511
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:18,439
Speaker 1: veterans come in, you're thirty four years old, and how

512
00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:21,440
Speaker 1: are you approaching camp. You're gonna ramp up, You're gonna

513
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:24,720
Speaker 1: take your time. There's nothing wrong with that because because

514
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:26,920
Speaker 1: as an old vet, what do you know? You know

515
00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:29,920
Speaker 1: it's a long season, right, you know? You know you

516
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:34,320
Speaker 1: don't get fired up for for every single moment of everything. Well,

517
00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:38,280
Speaker 1: guess what Tannehill has chosen this year, his eleventh in

518
00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:41,760
Speaker 1: the league. Thirty four year old quarterback has come in

519
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:45,560
Speaker 1: here with his hair on fire every day and his

520
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:50,600
Speaker 1: practice has been crisper. His overall work with his teammates

521
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:54,760
Speaker 1: has been outstanding. He hasn't missed any days. A key

522
00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:57,880
Speaker 1: for Ryan and all of this too, is his receivers

523
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:01,560
Speaker 1: have not missed days that you know, Okay, maybe they've

524
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:03,720
Speaker 1: taken a day off here and there, but my point being,

525
00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:06,879
Speaker 1: they have been here every single day working. And when

526
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:10,120
Speaker 1: he doesn't like it, he tells him. When somebody does

527
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:12,960
Speaker 1: something he doesn't like, he has something to say about it.

528
00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:16,639
Speaker 1: I think he gets the intensity of where he is

529
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:20,040
Speaker 1: in his career. And and here's what. Here's what the

530
00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:23,000
Speaker 1: fire burning has to do with, guys. It has to

531
00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:26,159
Speaker 1: do with the fact that the Tennessee Titans missed a

532
00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:31,360
Speaker 1: golden opportunity last year, a golden opportunity. Two wins at home,

533
00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:34,159
Speaker 1: and you go to the Super Bowl to play a

534
00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:38,880
Speaker 1: team that you absolutely bludgeoned on Sunday Night football in November,

535
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:42,960
Speaker 1: and you're healthy. Everything was going the Titans way. The

536
00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:48,000
Speaker 1: crowd was unbelievable. It was an incredible, incredible day overall.

537
00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:52,120
Speaker 1: And yet they know laid an egg in key moments

538
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:56,000
Speaker 1: and and missed an opportunity. So I think the fires

539
00:27:56,119 --> 00:28:01,120
Speaker 1: burning for everybody. But the intensity from Tannehill has more

540
00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:03,639
Speaker 1: to do with the moment where he is in his

541
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:07,560
Speaker 1: life and and is in his career than a loss

542
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:10,960
Speaker 1: of confidence in himself or loss of confidence with the team.

543
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:15,840
Speaker 1: He saw how close they were and that they didn't

544
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:18,480
Speaker 1: get that done, and he wants to get that final

545
00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:21,240
Speaker 1: step because like every player in the NFL, he wants

546
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:23,280
Speaker 1: to win a Super Bowl. Mike, you brought up the

547
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:26,400
Speaker 1: receiving corps. We know so much of what Tennessee does

548
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:30,240
Speaker 1: obviously operates around the rushing attack with Derrick Henry, but

549
00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:32,280
Speaker 1: there were a lot of changes to the receiving corp

550
00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:34,840
Speaker 1: of this off season. Five of the Titans top six

551
00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:37,680
Speaker 1: players in receiving yards are actually no longer on the

552
00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:40,520
Speaker 1: team from last season, and clearly A. J. Brown the

553
00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:43,160
Speaker 1: most notable. So I think going into week one, a

554
00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:46,000
Speaker 1: lot of people are wondering, well, what is this passing

555
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:48,840
Speaker 1: attack going to look like and who could be the

556
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:52,560
Speaker 1: big heavy lifters, specifically trailing birds the rookie. So how

557
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:55,240
Speaker 1: do you see this group and where they may lean

558
00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:59,200
Speaker 1: on specific personnel. They made the trade for Robert Woods

559
00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:01,840
Speaker 1: in March, which I thought it was a very smart

560
00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:05,840
Speaker 1: trade at the time because they acquired a veteran receiver

561
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:07,920
Speaker 1: and if you need him to be the one, fine,

562
00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:10,240
Speaker 1: if it's the two, if it's the three, he doesn't care.

563
00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:14,160
Speaker 1: He gets a pro and just goes about his business

564
00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:16,920
Speaker 1: the right way all the time. And it appeared as

565
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:20,520
Speaker 1: though he was going to be the perfect compliment to A. J. Brown. Well,

566
00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:25,360
Speaker 1: then obviously what happened happened. So you you've got Robert Woods,

567
00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:28,600
Speaker 1: who's taken a bigger leadership role than I think anybody

568
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:32,640
Speaker 1: thought he would need to Nick Westbrook a Keyne has

569
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:35,880
Speaker 1: come back and year three and he's had an excellent camp.

570
00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:39,560
Speaker 1: And then you found a slot receiver in Kyle Phillips

571
00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:42,000
Speaker 1: in the fifth round of the draft, and then you

572
00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:45,520
Speaker 1: draft Trailing Burkes. Now, Trailing has really come on strong

573
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:47,160
Speaker 1: over the last three weeks. He had a very good

574
00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:50,640
Speaker 1: camp overall. He had a lull in the middle, you know,

575
00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:52,960
Speaker 1: he had that, he had that rookie lull where I

576
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:55,400
Speaker 1: don't know if he was tired or he just didn't

577
00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:57,360
Speaker 1: have the concentration. But he had a couple of days

578
00:29:57,360 --> 00:29:59,800
Speaker 1: in practice where he'd played very well and the head

579
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:02,400
Speaker 1: and the general manager really challenged him and he is

580
00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:07,120
Speaker 1: bounced back nicely. Uh So, between that group and then

581
00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:10,840
Speaker 1: the improvement at tight end. Remember the Titans were a

582
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:15,120
Speaker 1: tight end team that did things very well in tight ends,

583
00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:18,160
Speaker 1: weren't very good last year and that hurt Tannehill will

584
00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:21,160
Speaker 1: So they bring Jeff Swain back and that was a

585
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:23,560
Speaker 1: good thing. And then they go out and get Austin

586
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:26,520
Speaker 1: Hooper and Austin Hooper is a guy who fits in

587
00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:30,280
Speaker 1: totally with Tannehill. And then they drafted Chicka con Quo,

588
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:32,840
Speaker 1: who was the fastest tight end in last year's draft.

589
00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:36,240
Speaker 1: So the reason I bring that up is I think

590
00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:40,720
Speaker 1: some of the receiving loss will be made up for

591
00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:44,560
Speaker 1: end tight end production. I also think, you know, don

592
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:48,160
Speaker 1: Trelle Hilliard is a back who can catch the football too,

593
00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:51,400
Speaker 1: and has great speed, and they may find some ways

594
00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:54,440
Speaker 1: to use him as well. So this may be back

595
00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:58,440
Speaker 1: to what has been a more traditional Titans attack where

596
00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:01,440
Speaker 1: it's less about stars and more about the group. But hey,

597
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:04,440
Speaker 1: to the point, we gotta see it, right, you know.

598
00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:07,280
Speaker 1: That's that's where we're at it this moment in time,

599
00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:10,320
Speaker 1: as you have to be able to see it happen, Mike,

600
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:13,280
Speaker 1: we're working with the inverted pyramid here, which is why

601
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:15,960
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry becomes one of the last items that we're

602
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:18,920
Speaker 1: going to ask you about. And I was waiting on you.

603
00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:24,479
Speaker 1: Uh after missing nine games with that foot injury last year.

604
00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:26,440
Speaker 1: We know he came back and ran for over sixty

605
00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:30,720
Speaker 1: yards against Cincinnati. What kind of camp has he had?

606
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:34,680
Speaker 1: Do you expect him to be a bell cow white

607
00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:37,400
Speaker 1: out of the gate and carry the ball at least

608
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:42,720
Speaker 1: twenty five times against the Giants? Yes? Um? You know

609
00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:46,400
Speaker 1: what was really interesting about Derek is Derek came back

610
00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:50,480
Speaker 1: and he practiced for three weeks before the first game

611
00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:53,040
Speaker 1: in the playoffs when we played Cincinnati, and you know

612
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:55,560
Speaker 1: he even said, he goes, I've been hitting three months

613
00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:58,320
Speaker 1: I haven't gone through all of this stuff. He goes,

614
00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:00,720
Speaker 1: I've sort of got I've got to get ready to go.

615
00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:03,000
Speaker 1: And we thought, you know, if we get through the

616
00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:07,520
Speaker 1: Cincinnati game, he'll be sharper against Kansas City, and then

617
00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:10,200
Speaker 1: if you get to Kansas City, he'll be really sharp

618
00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:13,280
Speaker 1: for the super Bowl. Well, I mean that obviously didn't happen,

619
00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:17,320
Speaker 1: and that burned him too. It burned Derrick Henry that

620
00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:19,960
Speaker 1: he did all this work to come back and his

621
00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:22,800
Speaker 1: guys that held it together and gone six and three

622
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:26,400
Speaker 1: without him, and then they come back and you know,

623
00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:29,480
Speaker 1: like Tannehill, he didn't have a very good day. Um,

624
00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:32,920
Speaker 1: so he has been motivated. And the nice part of

625
00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:36,920
Speaker 1: this for Derek is he didn't spend the off season rehabbing.

626
00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:40,480
Speaker 1: He was already rehabbed. So he went back to that

627
00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:44,040
Speaker 1: crazy Derrick Henry work and I'm sure you guys have

628
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:46,640
Speaker 1: seen some of his workout videos there. They look like,

629
00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:50,400
Speaker 1: you know, the Rock or something. It's crazy. And he

630
00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:54,440
Speaker 1: has been so productive in camp. Uh. They basically put

631
00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:57,720
Speaker 1: him in bubble wrap for six weeks and didn't you know,

632
00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:00,240
Speaker 1: didn't let him take any shots. And this team really

633
00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:04,000
Speaker 1: manages him very well, and so now they've been able

634
00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:06,320
Speaker 1: to to sort of see over the last couple of

635
00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:10,160
Speaker 1: weeks him doing more things, geared toward game plan, geared

636
00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:13,280
Speaker 1: toward getting ready for the regular season. And yes, I

637
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:16,680
Speaker 1: think he's getting the football. I think there's I think

638
00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:18,560
Speaker 1: there's no doubt about it is you're going to get

639
00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:20,280
Speaker 1: him in and try to get him into the mix.

640
00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:22,520
Speaker 1: The guy he helps the most is Tannehill. I mean,

641
00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:26,000
Speaker 1: you look at the numbers. I mean Tannehill's quarterback rating

642
00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:30,200
Speaker 1: with Derrick Henry on the field is slightly over one hundred.

643
00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:34,560
Speaker 1: Without Derrick Henry, it's eighty five point five. And what

644
00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:37,840
Speaker 1: that has to do with, in my opinion, is how

645
00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:41,920
Speaker 1: that works play action, because if you don't respect Derrick Henry,

646
00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:44,560
Speaker 1: you've got a problem as a defense. And I'm sure

647
00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:47,640
Speaker 1: you know in listening to what wink Martin Dale said,

648
00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:51,720
Speaker 1: I'm absolutely certain they will respect. Especially when wink Martin

649
00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:54,680
Speaker 1: Dale referred to Derrick Henry as Jim Brown. Something tells

650
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:57,800
Speaker 1: me might spot on that they'll be paying slightly close

651
00:33:57,880 --> 00:34:02,120
Speaker 1: attention to the main running backs. Tennessee Mike, last one

652
00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:05,280
Speaker 1: for me. You alluded to changes on the offensive line,

653
00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:07,840
Speaker 1: and clearly that goes hand in hand with the rushing attack.

654
00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:11,320
Speaker 1: Aaron Brewer left guard, who was on the roster but

655
00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:13,360
Speaker 1: now takes over a more prominent role. And then the

656
00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:17,600
Speaker 1: rookie at right tackle, Nicholas Petty Frere, who comes out

657
00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:20,839
Speaker 1: of Ohio State. How do those changes you think at

658
00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:25,080
Speaker 1: all impact the ability for them specifically to lean on

659
00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:27,680
Speaker 1: the rushing attack this season. I think we're all waiting

660
00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:31,239
Speaker 1: to see. Uh. Brewer is not nearly as big as

661
00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:35,000
Speaker 1: Roger Saffield. And make no mistake about it, the Titans

662
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:37,120
Speaker 1: would have loved to have had Roger Saffield back. That

663
00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:38,960
Speaker 1: was a money thing. You know, you have to make

664
00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:42,759
Speaker 1: some decisions based on money, and that's what happened. Uh.

665
00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:47,120
Speaker 1: Saffold is three hundred and thirty pounds. Brewer does not

666
00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:50,840
Speaker 1: weigh three hundred pounds. But Brewer will fight you. So

667
00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:54,000
Speaker 1: the reason this staff has had confidence since he was

668
00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:56,919
Speaker 1: an undrafted out of Texas State two and a half

669
00:34:57,040 --> 00:34:59,640
Speaker 1: years ago and he rolled into this building, and I

670
00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:03,120
Speaker 1: mean else scrap he'll get after you went in doubt

671
00:35:03,239 --> 00:35:05,120
Speaker 1: not the crap out of somebody. You know. If he

672
00:35:05,239 --> 00:35:07,600
Speaker 1: if he blocks the wrong man, fine, but he's gonna

673
00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:10,279
Speaker 1: he's gonna take a shot at somebody. He is a

674
00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:15,040
Speaker 1: tough guy, and they're excited about having his athleticism and

675
00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:18,360
Speaker 1: his toughness. He's also and they lined him up his

676
00:35:18,480 --> 00:35:23,600
Speaker 1: rookie year Summit fullback. He's really fast, like probably in

677
00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:26,000
Speaker 1: the four or eight and he can do a backflip,

678
00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:31,440
Speaker 1: so that tells you. I mean, his athleticism is nuts um.

679
00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:33,840
Speaker 1: But you know, he's still got to just line up

680
00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:37,319
Speaker 1: and block people. Petit Frere is going to be a star.

681
00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:39,839
Speaker 1: Will he be a star right out of the gate?

682
00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:41,839
Speaker 1: You know, it's probably the same question you have there

683
00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:44,880
Speaker 1: about Evan Neil. You know, you just how do how

684
00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:47,920
Speaker 1: does it factor right out of the gate? Don't know.

685
00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:51,120
Speaker 1: I haven't seen him in those sort of situations. But

686
00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:55,359
Speaker 1: he won this job by the fact that he continued

687
00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:58,480
Speaker 1: improving all the way through. And I compare it to

688
00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:02,880
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen when they stuck right guard Nate Davis in

689
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:05,960
Speaker 1: the lineup in Week four in Atlanta and he wasn't

690
00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:09,359
Speaker 1: very good. But what they said is he's the best

691
00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:12,320
Speaker 1: guy we got and he's going to be an excellent player.

692
00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:15,120
Speaker 1: We gotta play and I think with Petit Frere, and

693
00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:17,640
Speaker 1: that's the thing that they've come up to is They said, Hey,

694
00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:21,120
Speaker 1: he's the best guy we've got. He's a talent. We're

695
00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:23,640
Speaker 1: gonna win with him in time. We've got to get

696
00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:25,879
Speaker 1: him in there because the only way he's gonna learn

697
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:28,800
Speaker 1: is to play. But he you know, he is a

698
00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:32,560
Speaker 1: wide body at three five pounds. He's that road Greater

699
00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:35,880
Speaker 1: type that you like at the right tackle spot. Really

700
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:40,360
Speaker 1: really bright young man, um good stuff on the horizon

701
00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:43,560
Speaker 1: for him. I thought, you know, they targeted him to

702
00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:46,200
Speaker 1: they made the trade with the Jets, did the Titans

703
00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:50,279
Speaker 1: for the pick, and with the three picks that they

704
00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:54,040
Speaker 1: got from the Jets, they ended up with Roger McCrary,

705
00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:58,680
Speaker 1: Nicholas Petit Frere, and Kyle Phillips. And there's a chance

706
00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:02,440
Speaker 1: all three of those guys start on Sunday against the Giant. Yeah,

707
00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:05,359
Speaker 1: I'd say that deal turned out pretty good right now. Yeah,

708
00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:09,040
Speaker 1: that's pretty good work. Well, last question from me, Mike,

709
00:37:09,120 --> 00:37:11,359
Speaker 1: and I got to go to special teams because during

710
00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:14,040
Speaker 1: the preseason, and I know it doesn't necessarily mean a

711
00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:17,759
Speaker 1: hill of beans, but the Giants had a very difficult

712
00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:22,440
Speaker 1: time covering kicks. And I've read that that Kyle Phillips,

713
00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:24,360
Speaker 1: the rookie that you just mentioned out at U c

714
00:37:24,640 --> 00:37:28,120
Speaker 1: l a Uh may wind up being at least the

715
00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:31,840
Speaker 1: point returner. At the very least. His career with the

716
00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:35,600
Speaker 1: Bruins is very, very explosive and dangerous. I looked at

717
00:37:35,600 --> 00:37:40,239
Speaker 1: the numbers, twenty six point returns, nineteen yard average, and

718
00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:45,600
Speaker 1: two touchdowns. I'm I'm kind of concerned right now if

719
00:37:45,640 --> 00:37:48,160
Speaker 1: I'm the giant special teams unit that this guy could

720
00:37:48,160 --> 00:37:52,520
Speaker 1: do damage. Yeah, he's pretty good. He is, and you know,

721
00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:54,680
Speaker 1: he was a four star coming out of high school

722
00:37:54,719 --> 00:37:58,640
Speaker 1: in California when when we met him. I mean, he's

723
00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:02,280
Speaker 1: not a big boat he I mean, he's an athletic

724
00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:05,000
Speaker 1: looking guys. He's a guy who looks like he's in shape.

725
00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:06,839
Speaker 1: I mean, if you saw him at the gym, you think,

726
00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:10,560
Speaker 1: okay this. You know he's he works out, but he

727
00:38:11,320 --> 00:38:14,680
Speaker 1: he doesn't have the same look as other people in

728
00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:16,920
Speaker 1: terms of like you see Trailing Burkes, You're like, man,

729
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:19,800
Speaker 1: that's a dude that that's not what Phillips does. But

730
00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:24,359
Speaker 1: Phillips has some wiggle. It's a it's a natural thing.

731
00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:28,000
Speaker 1: It's an athletic thing. And he he has him in

732
00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:32,239
Speaker 1: eight gifts. But he's got some some real athleticism that

733
00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:35,000
Speaker 1: makes him a good slot and that makes him a

734
00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:38,560
Speaker 1: good returner. What's he gonna look like the first time

735
00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:41,440
Speaker 1: on an opening weekend? Though, And and that's the thing

736
00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:45,600
Speaker 1: for the Titans. They may play more rookies in this

737
00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:49,640
Speaker 1: game than they have ever played in the history of

738
00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:53,239
Speaker 1: this aren't incarnation of the franchise. If they played ten

739
00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:56,160
Speaker 1: rookies and they have eleven on the roster, that will

740
00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:58,680
Speaker 1: be the most they've ever played since this team moved

741
00:38:58,719 --> 00:39:01,960
Speaker 1: from Houston. It became the how are they gonna do?

742
00:39:02,719 --> 00:39:07,560
Speaker 1: Is he gonna catch the first punts? You know with rookies,

743
00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:10,759
Speaker 1: they've They've got a rookie punter in stone House. He's

744
00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:14,560
Speaker 1: phenomenal out here on the practice field. He also dropped

745
00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:17,879
Speaker 1: a snap in the preseason. Um what was it? Bill

746
00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:20,440
Speaker 1: Parcels used to say, rookies get you beat or something

747
00:39:20,520 --> 00:39:23,759
Speaker 1: to that effect. I'm probably taking the lipids, but um,

748
00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:26,680
Speaker 1: But the but the point is, you know, that's a

749
00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:30,160
Speaker 1: lot of what we're gonna see um in some key

750
00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:33,800
Speaker 1: situations for the Titans. And while they love this rookie

751
00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:36,839
Speaker 1: class and they're excited about him, Um, how do they

752
00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:39,520
Speaker 1: perform in Week one? I think that's the question everybody

753
00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:42,520
Speaker 1: has certainly a lot of question marks on both sides

754
00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:45,200
Speaker 1: of this equation. As the Giants and the Titans kick

755
00:39:45,239 --> 00:39:48,440
Speaker 1: off the two thousand twenty two regular season Week one

756
00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:52,640

777
00:40:53,560 --> 00:40:57,200
Speaker 1: about today's game kicking off the season. You've gone through

778
00:40:57,239 --> 00:40:59,360
Speaker 1: a lot of work, obviously getting the job back in

779
00:40:59,480 --> 00:41:03,680
Speaker 1: January and then trying to build this roster. It's evolving

780
00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:06,800
Speaker 1: as we move forward, but just talk about your team's

781
00:41:06,920 --> 00:41:09,799
Speaker 1: preparedness as you step into this game against a very

782
00:41:09,920 --> 00:41:12,719
Speaker 1: tough foe today in the Tennessee Titans. I think our

783
00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:15,200
Speaker 1: coaches have done a really good job of preparing the

784
00:41:15,320 --> 00:41:18,759
Speaker 1: players with the weekly game plans, uh in the kicking game,

785
00:41:18,840 --> 00:41:21,720
Speaker 1: on defense and on offense. And I think the players

786
00:41:21,760 --> 00:41:24,279
Speaker 1: have had a good week of practice. Um, you know,

787
00:41:24,440 --> 00:41:29,640
Speaker 1: learning from the corrections, practicing fast, playing with good fundamentals. UM.

788
00:41:29,719 --> 00:41:32,040
Speaker 1: I know we're excited to get out here and get

789
00:41:32,040 --> 00:41:35,400
Speaker 1: going here all right, listen, um, the Tennessee Titans with

790
00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:38,359
Speaker 1: the number one seed in the a f C last year. Uh,

791
00:41:38,440 --> 00:41:41,239
Speaker 1: Mike Vrabel has done a wonderful job with this football team,

792
00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:44,200
Speaker 1: and one of the things that they do is, um,

793
00:41:44,560 --> 00:41:47,520
Speaker 1: they run the football. It's no big secret with Derrick Henry.

794
00:41:47,920 --> 00:41:52,919
Speaker 1: What makes this ground attack so difficult to defend? Well, first,

795
00:41:52,960 --> 00:41:56,080
Speaker 1: let's start with the player in in Derrick Henry, he's

796
00:41:56,120 --> 00:41:59,480
Speaker 1: a you know, one of the best players in the league. Um,

797
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:04,879
Speaker 1: he's a dynamic runner. He's big, he's strong, he's quick,

798
00:42:05,080 --> 00:42:09,399
Speaker 1: he's fast, he's got good vision. They utilize different runs.

799
00:42:09,440 --> 00:42:13,520
Speaker 1: I'd say they're they're more of an outside zone running team.

800
00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:17,680
Speaker 1: I think their line, their receivers are all tied in

801
00:42:17,840 --> 00:42:20,719
Speaker 1: of of how to block that play. UM, And it's

802
00:42:20,760 --> 00:42:22,120
Speaker 1: not they don't do it all the time. They have

803
00:42:22,200 --> 00:42:24,560
Speaker 1: some other things that they run. But we're gonna have

804
00:42:24,640 --> 00:42:27,719
Speaker 1: to do a really good job up front, UM at

805
00:42:27,760 --> 00:42:30,520
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage, and then really getting the leven

806
00:42:30,560 --> 00:42:33,640
Speaker 1: hats to the ball when you go to the other

807
00:42:33,680 --> 00:42:36,319
Speaker 1: side of the ball. Obviously, with Sae Kwon Barkley back

808
00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:40,640
Speaker 1: and healthy, he's an ace himself. Tennessee. Last season they

809
00:42:40,640 --> 00:42:43,799
Speaker 1: were second in the NFL in rushing yards allowed per game.

810
00:42:43,880 --> 00:42:47,000
Speaker 1: Only Baltimore was better. Um. When you look at that

811
00:42:47,200 --> 00:42:49,320
Speaker 1: front and you try to attack him, what are some

812
00:42:49,400 --> 00:42:52,040
Speaker 1: of the things that just jump out on the tape

813
00:42:52,080 --> 00:42:55,359
Speaker 1: for you that are like, man, they're good at this. Yeah, well,

814
00:42:55,440 --> 00:42:58,120
Speaker 1: I mean, first they're just good players. You know, start

815
00:42:58,160 --> 00:43:01,480
Speaker 1: with Simmons inside there and you know Dupree and then

816
00:43:01,719 --> 00:43:05,840
Speaker 1: inside backers with Long and Cunningham Autry. Uh, they have

817
00:43:06,120 --> 00:43:08,359
Speaker 1: they have good players that the two safeties I think

818
00:43:08,400 --> 00:43:10,080
Speaker 1: are one of the best tandems in the league, and

819
00:43:10,160 --> 00:43:13,120
Speaker 1: Bayard and Hooker Um and they play with really good

820
00:43:13,160 --> 00:43:15,399
Speaker 1: and it starts with technique and fundamentals, and they play

821
00:43:15,440 --> 00:43:18,560
Speaker 1: with their hands, they get off blocks, they have good

822
00:43:18,640 --> 00:43:21,640
Speaker 1: force patterns, um, and they're good tacklers. Are like one

823
00:43:21,680 --> 00:43:23,880
Speaker 1: of the best tackling teams, if not the best tackling

824
00:43:23,920 --> 00:43:28,280
Speaker 1: team statistic wise in the league. So it's a big challenge.

825
00:43:28,360 --> 00:43:31,399
Speaker 1: That's a physical team, whether it's in the kicking game,

826
00:43:32,040 --> 00:43:34,520
Speaker 1: you know, running the football and stopping the run. Those

827
00:43:34,560 --> 00:43:36,960
Speaker 1: are some things they've really done well and excelled at

828
00:43:37,040 --> 00:43:40,280
Speaker 1: since coach Rabel has been there. You mentioned Kevin Byard

829
00:43:40,640 --> 00:43:43,359
Speaker 1: first team All Pro last year. He had five interceptions

830
00:43:43,840 --> 00:43:46,719
Speaker 1: since two thousand seventeen, he's third in the NFL and

831
00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:49,719
Speaker 1: takeaways he's got twenty six of them, so he's got

832
00:43:49,800 --> 00:43:52,200
Speaker 1: a knack for the football. Do they move him around

833
00:43:52,239 --> 00:43:55,880
Speaker 1: a lot, coach, or is it more just his instincts

834
00:43:55,960 --> 00:43:58,359
Speaker 1: that lead him to where he needs to be? Yeah? Really,

835
00:43:58,440 --> 00:44:01,400
Speaker 1: an instinctive player does a great job with the disguise,

836
00:44:01,520 --> 00:44:04,480
Speaker 1: reads the quarterback well, does a great job when he

837
00:44:04,560 --> 00:44:08,120
Speaker 1: comes into to make tackles and when other guys are tackling,

838
00:44:08,200 --> 00:44:09,880
Speaker 1: does a great job of getting the ball out. Just

839
00:44:10,719 --> 00:44:14,920
Speaker 1: just a very headsy, smart football player. Coach. One of

840
00:44:14,960 --> 00:44:18,280
Speaker 1: the areas that the Giants have really struggled in. Obviously

841
00:44:18,360 --> 00:44:20,640
Speaker 1: it's not on your resume because you weren't here, but

842
00:44:20,760 --> 00:44:22,680
Speaker 1: red zone has been a big problem for this team

843
00:44:22,760 --> 00:44:25,680
Speaker 1: scoring points. Um As you've been able to work through

844
00:44:26,040 --> 00:44:28,480
Speaker 1: some things and and get some of your pieces back

845
00:44:28,560 --> 00:44:31,200
Speaker 1: on the field. What are some of the keys to

846
00:44:31,400 --> 00:44:35,600
Speaker 1: being more proficient in the red zone? Well, it starts

847
00:44:35,640 --> 00:44:37,800
Speaker 1: with getting the play call in quick to the quarterback

848
00:44:38,840 --> 00:44:40,920
Speaker 1: so he can have enough time to evaluate what he

849
00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:44,719
Speaker 1: needs to evaluate. And then you know, you've got to

850
00:44:44,719 --> 00:44:47,800
Speaker 1: be very very detailed down there. There's there's shorter space,

851
00:44:48,560 --> 00:44:52,040
Speaker 1: there's less room to operate, the windows are very tight.

852
00:44:52,680 --> 00:44:55,400
Speaker 1: You have to make some contested catches. You know, the

853
00:44:55,520 --> 00:44:58,320
Speaker 1: force patterns are there quicker in the running game. So

854
00:44:58,520 --> 00:45:01,279
Speaker 1: it's a it's a challenge um down there in the

855
00:45:01,360 --> 00:45:04,520
Speaker 1: red zone. And this is another area where I'd say

856
00:45:04,560 --> 00:45:09,440
Speaker 1: Tennessee really excels on both sides of the ball. Daniel

857
00:45:09,520 --> 00:45:12,799
Speaker 1: Jones obviously, uh picking up this new system, getting an

858
00:45:12,840 --> 00:45:15,719
Speaker 1: opportunity to work with all these new pieces and and

859
00:45:15,960 --> 00:45:18,879
Speaker 1: and new coaching. Just talk about the way he sort

860
00:45:18,920 --> 00:45:20,840
Speaker 1: of picked things up, and when you talk about that

861
00:45:20,960 --> 00:45:24,800
Speaker 1: decision making, how you've seen progression in his game. I

862
00:45:24,880 --> 00:45:27,480
Speaker 1: think he's improved since since we got here in the spring.

863
00:45:28,640 --> 00:45:31,719
Speaker 1: I think he's done a good job and practices and

864
00:45:31,960 --> 00:45:33,840
Speaker 1: he's done a good job when he's had the opportunity

865
00:45:33,880 --> 00:45:35,920
Speaker 1: to play in these preseason games. Now we have you know,

866
00:45:36,080 --> 00:45:40,000
Speaker 1: full games here to play against really tough opponents, and

867
00:45:40,719 --> 00:45:42,360
Speaker 1: you know, we'll see when we get out there, you know,

868
00:45:42,440 --> 00:45:44,880
Speaker 1: how things work. We're always trying to evolve and do

869
00:45:45,040 --> 00:45:47,719
Speaker 1: what we think is best for our quarterback and then

870
00:45:47,840 --> 00:45:50,560
Speaker 1: mixing the skill players that we have and the type

871
00:45:50,600 --> 00:45:53,440
Speaker 1: of runnings we use for the offensive line. So you know,

872
00:45:53,560 --> 00:45:56,319
Speaker 1: we've worked really hard in the training camp in these

873
00:45:56,360 --> 00:45:59,000
Speaker 1: preseason games to kind of figure out what we do

874
00:45:59,200 --> 00:46:02,279
Speaker 1: best and I'm sure that will continue throughout the first

875
00:46:02,360 --> 00:46:04,600
Speaker 1: few weeks of the season, you know, figuring out our

876
00:46:04,640 --> 00:46:07,320
Speaker 1: football team, and Daniel is an important part of that.

877
00:46:08,440 --> 00:46:10,920
Speaker 1: Final question, Coach, I mean there's been so much planning

878
00:46:10,960 --> 00:46:14,800
Speaker 1: again with you and Joe Shane coming in revamping the

879
00:46:14,880 --> 00:46:18,960
Speaker 1: football side of operations. How excited are you just to

880
00:46:19,040 --> 00:46:22,560
Speaker 1: get this thing kicked off today and finally kind of

881
00:46:22,640 --> 00:46:26,000
Speaker 1: see all this hard work come to fruition. Yeah, I'm

882
00:46:26,080 --> 00:46:29,560
Speaker 1: very excited. I think everybody's excited. That's been part of

883
00:46:29,640 --> 00:46:33,080
Speaker 1: this last call it six months. The training staff, the

884
00:46:33,120 --> 00:46:37,840
Speaker 1: strength staff, the nutritionists, the players, the scouts, um, you know,

885
00:46:37,960 --> 00:46:40,360
Speaker 1: that's what we're all here for, is these games, and

886
00:46:40,480 --> 00:46:42,279
Speaker 1: it takes a lot of hard work and effort to

887
00:46:42,560 --> 00:46:45,880
Speaker 1: to get to this point. And we've we've prepared as

888
00:46:45,920 --> 00:46:48,640
Speaker 1: hard as we can, We've practiced well, and now we

889
00:46:48,719 --> 00:46:51,400
Speaker 1: have to go out there and play and coach as

890
00:46:51,440 --> 00:46:53,719
Speaker 1: good as we can. All right, Coach, I know, uh

891
00:46:54,040 --> 00:46:56,239
Speaker 1: you're fired up to get out there. Best of luck

892
00:46:56,280 --> 00:46:58,319
Speaker 1: this afternoon, and thank you so much for your time.

893
00:46:58,480 --> 00:47:01,360
Speaker 1: Thanks Bob, that's John, I said coach Brian David. We

894
00:47:01,440 --> 00:47:03,239
Speaker 1: thank Bob Papa for chatting with him. Thank you to

895
00:47:03,320 --> 00:47:05,640
Speaker 1: Lance and Paul with Titans played by play man Mike Keith,

896
00:47:05,920 --> 00:47:07,840
Speaker 1: and thank you to Kenny Golladay as well, who I

897
00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:11,360
Speaker 1: hope that interview kind of gives fans a little bit

898
00:47:11,400 --> 00:47:14,000
Speaker 1: of an insight into him. And you know, I know

899
00:47:14,280 --> 00:47:17,160
Speaker 1: there's a perception out there of Kenny, and that's really, honestly,

900
00:47:17,160 --> 00:47:18,560
Speaker 1: the first time I've had a chance to really sit

901
00:47:18,600 --> 00:47:20,480
Speaker 1: down with him. Because of the pandemic last year and

902
00:47:20,880 --> 00:47:23,240
Speaker 1: and other things, we just haven't had a chance to connect.

903
00:47:23,880 --> 00:47:27,200
Speaker 1: And I hope people got a different idea of him,

904
00:47:27,280 --> 00:47:29,080
Speaker 1: because I think there's an idea out there that he's

905
00:47:29,160 --> 00:47:32,080
Speaker 1: just like diva ish wide receiver and he doesn't really care,

906
00:47:32,640 --> 00:47:35,439
Speaker 1: and talking to him, you do not get that sense

907
00:47:35,520 --> 00:47:37,560
Speaker 1: to me. I mean, there's just the fact that he

908
00:47:37,600 --> 00:47:41,000
Speaker 1: went out of his way during that conversation to list

909
00:47:41,120 --> 00:47:42,719
Speaker 1: every player in his position group and he's like, oh,

910
00:47:42,719 --> 00:47:44,960
Speaker 1: I can't forget David Sills. Can't forget David Sills, and

911
00:47:45,160 --> 00:47:46,879
Speaker 1: like it mattered to him. He cares about the team,

912
00:47:46,920 --> 00:47:48,440
Speaker 1: his teammates, he wants to win, he wants to have

913
00:47:48,520 --> 00:47:51,480
Speaker 1: a good year. He's a talented guy and and we'll see,

914
00:47:51,560 --> 00:47:53,279
Speaker 1: But I hope that gave fans, a little bit of

915
00:47:53,320 --> 00:47:57,279
