1 00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:18,000 Speaker 1: August second, the OTP from st SP St Thomas Sports Park. 2 00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:21,279 Speaker 1: I'm Mike Keith, joined by Amy Wells. I like that 3 00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:25,919 Speaker 1: OTP STSP. It's clever ding ding the great. Jim Wyatt 4 00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:29,640 Speaker 1: from Titans Online dot Com, who's written sixty four stories today, 5 00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:33,680 Speaker 1: it's so frustrating. I've eaten a baked potato and that's 6 00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:36,760 Speaker 1: about it. He's written sixty four stories. It's amazing. How 7 00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:39,880 Speaker 1: many different stories have you written about Jonathan Cyprian already? Yeah. 8 00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:42,040 Speaker 1: I fortunately had to write one just a short time 9 00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:44,840 Speaker 1: ago about the news today that he's lost for the season. 10 00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:46,600 Speaker 1: When it's twice, you know, you hate to hear that. 11 00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:50,239 Speaker 1: And that's two season ending injuries within matter just a 12 00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:54,480 Speaker 1: couple of days. Tya Smith earlier placed on injured reserve 13 00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:57,840 Speaker 1: this week. So Jonathan's cypprids a hard working guy, tough 14 00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:00,560 Speaker 1: injury with a hamstring at the start a live last season. 15 00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:02,400 Speaker 1: He worked his way back from that. I thought he 16 00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:04,280 Speaker 1: played really well at it. In the last season. He 17 00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:06,640 Speaker 1: made a huge hit on Travis Kelsey that knocked him 18 00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:09,080 Speaker 1: out the playoff game in Kansas City, and I think 19 00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:12,200 Speaker 1: his pairing with Kevin Byrd was really going to be 20 00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:15,720 Speaker 1: a good one this season, but unfortunately a kind of 21 00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:18,920 Speaker 1: a fluky injury, a non contract situation. At the end 22 00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:24,039 Speaker 1: of during Wednesday's practice, he was down. You could tell 23 00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:26,360 Speaker 1: again as he left practice, he kind of slung his 24 00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:28,360 Speaker 1: helmet a little bit. You could tell the frustration. A 25 00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:31,679 Speaker 1: lot of times, guys know how bad it is. You 26 00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:34,480 Speaker 1: hope for the hope for the best, but they got 27 00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:37,320 Speaker 1: worst possible news. And he's done for the years, gonna 28 00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:39,400 Speaker 1: go and into reserve. And now the search for his 29 00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:43,640 Speaker 1: replacement has begun. Some of it could be guys in house. 30 00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:46,280 Speaker 1: Some of it, obviously, could be guys in free agency 31 00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:48,760 Speaker 1: here are still available, so we'll have to see how 32 00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:51,720 Speaker 1: this one plays out. Maybe one of the nicest guys 33 00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,480 Speaker 1: in this building, Oh gosh, absolutely, and you hate to 34 00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:56,680 Speaker 1: see that happen to show who's such a good guy 35 00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:58,480 Speaker 1: to be around. He does a ton of stuff in 36 00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:02,960 Speaker 1: the community, and he's just a genuinely pleasant person to interact. 37 00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:06,080 Speaker 1: And was playing very good football at the end of 38 00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:08,880 Speaker 1: last year, as you alluded to, Jim, and was playing 39 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:13,240 Speaker 1: better in training camp, had lost some weight, was moving 40 00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:16,960 Speaker 1: around well, seemed to be fitting into this defense well, 41 00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:20,919 Speaker 1: had made several big plays in practice and it was almost, 42 00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:24,639 Speaker 1: I guess, similar to the Peter Sermon injury nearly fifteen 43 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,680 Speaker 1: years ago, which was one of the most bizarre acls 44 00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:31,240 Speaker 1: I ever remember. I mean Peter Sermon essentially took a 45 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:35,799 Speaker 1: weird step and said, no, that feels weird, and sure 46 00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:38,640 Speaker 1: enough he had torn his ACL and Cyprian maybe not 47 00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:42,399 Speaker 1: exactly like that, but certainly something similar. I remember that well. 48 00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:44,920 Speaker 1: I was probably ten yards away from it when it happened. 49 00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:47,160 Speaker 1: He walked off the field, didn't think anything of it. 50 00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,080 Speaker 1: It was a big shock the next day when we 51 00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:51,880 Speaker 1: found out they had to torn ACL. Just never know 52 00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:55,440 Speaker 1: with those I've seen guys you know who have left 53 00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:57,760 Speaker 1: felt fine, didn't think it was gonna be a thing 54 00:02:57,800 --> 00:02:59,679 Speaker 1: to it ends up being an a CL. I've seen 55 00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,480 Speaker 1: guys to leave thinking the worst and sometimes they get 56 00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:04,680 Speaker 1: a lucky break. And as an MCL, that's not signific 57 00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:06,720 Speaker 1: It's like John U. Smith in the playoffs, right, you 58 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:11,399 Speaker 1: thought John U. Smith's injury looked worse than Jack Conklin's 59 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:13,840 Speaker 1: and it turns out that Conklin is the one with 60 00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:17,320 Speaker 1: the ACL, and Johnny I guess just had an MCL. Yeah, 61 00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:19,000 Speaker 1: and Mike Ray, well you can tell you the first 62 00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:20,920 Speaker 1: year coach. You said it himself, it's one of the 63 00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:23,040 Speaker 1: toughest things about being a first year coach. You get 64 00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:25,480 Speaker 1: a head coach. You get to see these guys work 65 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:27,840 Speaker 1: and see how hard they prepare themselves for the season. 66 00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:31,320 Speaker 1: Jonathan Siprin worked throughout the off season to put himself 67 00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 1: to in a position to help this team. From the 68 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:37,080 Speaker 1: get go. Chemistry with Kevin Byrd was good. Those guys 69 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:40,960 Speaker 1: on the same page. And now you've got to start 70 00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:43,320 Speaker 1: the process of finding who's gonna be there with Kevin Bard. 71 00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:46,000 Speaker 1: You got to find start the process of those guys 72 00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 1: getting to know each other. That was what was so 73 00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:51,200 Speaker 1: good about the secondary is a coesive unit. Those guys 74 00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,600 Speaker 1: know each other well. Now you're adding a newcomer to 75 00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:56,960 Speaker 1: the mix and the event it is somebody that's coming 76 00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:59,880 Speaker 1: in from the outside. We talked about it, what three 77 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:03,040 Speaker 1: or four days ago on the OTP, how the chemistry 78 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:06,320 Speaker 1: of that group was something that was so strong and 79 00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:09,400 Speaker 1: Jonathan Ciprian was a big part of that. So now 80 00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:12,400 Speaker 1: the search is on not only to fill that position, 81 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:16,080 Speaker 1: but find someone who can gel with those guys and 82 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:19,279 Speaker 1: who can pick up on that chemistry and get involved 83 00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:22,640 Speaker 1: and get in sync with his teammates early. Let's talk 84 00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:25,240 Speaker 1: about some of the options. Kendrick Lewis, eighth year man 85 00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:29,320 Speaker 1: out of Old Miss, new to the Titans this past spring. 86 00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:32,240 Speaker 1: He's missed a couple of days of practice, didn't I 87 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:34,680 Speaker 1: don't know if there's anything seriously wrong with him, but 88 00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:38,599 Speaker 1: you would think he's first on the list. Demontre Hurst, 89 00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:43,560 Speaker 1: a corner who's been playing safety, has been taking the 90 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,440 Speaker 1: first team reps. I guess to this point he has. 91 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,480 Speaker 1: And Mike Rabel said that they expect to get Lewis 92 00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:51,919 Speaker 1: back and expect to have him in the competition. And 93 00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:54,240 Speaker 1: you're right about Hurst. I mean, he's a guy that's played, say, 94 00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:59,000 Speaker 1: played corner, you know in college at Oklahoma, was brought 95 00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 1: in here and played corner last year, played some nickel, 96 00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:04,080 Speaker 1: and now made the transition of safety, so he's learning 97 00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:07,320 Speaker 1: a new position. Those are the top in house options, 98 00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:09,640 Speaker 1: But some other guys out there in free agency we've 99 00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:13,040 Speaker 1: already seen some names for surfaced. Mike Rabel has asked 100 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:16,000 Speaker 1: specifically about Eric Reid after practice today. He said he's 101 00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:18,000 Speaker 1: one of the guys that has been talked about. They 102 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,240 Speaker 1: plan on talking his agent about bringing him in We've 103 00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:22,320 Speaker 1: seen some other guys already reported from some of the 104 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:25,200 Speaker 1: national media who could be visiting the Titans as well. 105 00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:30,039 Speaker 1: I've already seen two names mentioned, so I'm expecting a 106 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:32,840 Speaker 1: group of players to come in here, work out, and 107 00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:36,400 Speaker 1: then I would think the GM and the head coach 108 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:38,560 Speaker 1: will decide on one of them. How do we think 109 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:42,680 Speaker 1: the fifth round pick, safety Dane Crookshank has done so far. 110 00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:45,760 Speaker 1: I've been really impressed by him. He looks like he's 111 00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,159 Speaker 1: fitting him well. He looks like he's finding his groove, 112 00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:50,520 Speaker 1: and I mean early on he kicked off his very 113 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:52,960 Speaker 1: first training camp with an interception, so that's a good 114 00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:55,520 Speaker 1: way to start. He hasn't looked overwhelmed. He looks like 115 00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:58,440 Speaker 1: he's kind of picking things up, and obviously there's mistakes 116 00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:00,680 Speaker 1: here and there, but I've been press by him. He's 117 00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:01,919 Speaker 1: getting a lot of work too. He was on the 118 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:04,080 Speaker 1: field a ton today and I think he's been good 119 00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:07,520 Speaker 1: run support. I think he has been good in coverage. 120 00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:11,159 Speaker 1: He's he's kind of one of those, uh guy that's 121 00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:14,839 Speaker 1: pretty tenacious on the football field. Carry Combs obviously likes him. 122 00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:17,120 Speaker 1: He's still going through some growing pains. You hear him 123 00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:21,640 Speaker 1: getting you know, getting some teaching lessons in practices on 124 00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:24,240 Speaker 1: a pretty regular basis. But I think that's kind of 125 00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:26,920 Speaker 1: expected because he's kind of going through a transition himself 126 00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:30,680 Speaker 1: as far as positions go. But I do feel like, 127 00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:33,480 Speaker 1: you know, he has made a lot of progress. Teaching 128 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:36,080 Speaker 1: lessons is a good way to describe getting held at 129 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:39,640 Speaker 1: by carry Combs. Well, that's fair, a teaching lesson, that's fair. 130 00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:44,520 Speaker 1: Other safeties under the roster Joshua Kalou, a rookie undrafted 131 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:48,120 Speaker 1: from Nebraska, Damon Webb who's been yelled at before, I'm 132 00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:52,880 Speaker 1: sure by carry Combs. He's a rookie undrafted from Ohio State. 133 00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:56,880 Speaker 1: Kaitlin red has played safety at different points. Does he 134 00:06:56,920 --> 00:07:00,280 Speaker 1: get a look in all of this, Well, he would 135 00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:02,480 Speaker 1: think so. But then again, do you lose Ti Smith 136 00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:05,720 Speaker 1: and now your short quarner. Yeah. So, now you've got 137 00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:09,920 Speaker 1: Leshaw and Simms, who obviously is number four, but you've 138 00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:12,560 Speaker 1: got the races on for number five there, which is 139 00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:15,880 Speaker 1: I think includes Kaylin Reid and includes you know, some 140 00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:18,920 Speaker 1: of the young guys like a Rico Gaffer, Joseph Estie, 141 00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:22,120 Speaker 1: those guys in the mix there as well. I've heard 142 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:25,560 Speaker 1: some people talking Logan Ryan does logan Ryan who has 143 00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:29,600 Speaker 1: decent size, do you think about moving him to safety 144 00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:33,520 Speaker 1: or do you weaken yourself at two spots if you 145 00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:35,640 Speaker 1: do that. He even talked today, you know, he had 146 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:39,000 Speaker 1: an availability after practice and he talked about potentially moving 147 00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:41,680 Speaker 1: around and then he was pressed on that about what 148 00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:45,040 Speaker 1: maybe that means, and that he kind of he I 149 00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:46,760 Speaker 1: don't want to say he changed the conversation, but he 150 00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:48,920 Speaker 1: kind of downplayed what he had said, and that said 151 00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:51,440 Speaker 1: that they're always moving him arouyand and try them in 152 00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:54,760 Speaker 1: different places. But I have to think that that is 153 00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:58,760 Speaker 1: something that will be considered. At least my sense, and 154 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:01,080 Speaker 1: this is obviously just a guess, and I'll ask you 155 00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:03,720 Speaker 1: two to make guesses as well. My sense is they're 156 00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:07,480 Speaker 1: bringing in a veteran. That's what I feel. That seems 157 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:09,640 Speaker 1: to make the most sense. Yeah, and with three names 158 00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:12,960 Speaker 1: already out there, you know that I would again the 159 00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:15,640 Speaker 1: way these things are usually tackled as you bring in 160 00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:18,960 Speaker 1: a group of players and then you put them through 161 00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:21,680 Speaker 1: a workout, and the guy who impresses the most ends 162 00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:24,400 Speaker 1: up being signed. There's gonna be a spot on this roster. 163 00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:28,760 Speaker 1: You're gonna be down to another healthy player. With with 164 00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:32,440 Speaker 1: Cyprian going on into reserve, so you've got room to 165 00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:35,240 Speaker 1: make a move. And now the question is which guy 166 00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:39,240 Speaker 1: will the team decide on. It's big loss because Cyprian 167 00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:41,640 Speaker 1: is is a football player that they were counting on, 168 00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:45,000 Speaker 1: another veteran on this defense, and obviously too from a 169 00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:48,760 Speaker 1: personal standpoint, we're all disappointed for him, as are his teammates, 170 00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:52,199 Speaker 1: and frankly everybody works in this building. So Cyprian gone 171 00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:55,800 Speaker 1: for the year with an ACL the Titan's gonna focus 172 00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:58,680 Speaker 1: in the next few days on what to do at 173 00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:02,640 Speaker 1: the safety position to pair with Kevin Byard. All Right, 174 00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:05,400 Speaker 1: I didn't get to see all of practice today because 175 00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:09,400 Speaker 1: Sirius x MNFL radio was here and I got to 176 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:13,480 Speaker 1: work with Brad Hopkins as they did the Titans training 177 00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:16,079 Speaker 1: camp day, and so we'll talk about that just a 178 00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:19,120 Speaker 1: little bit a minute. But from your notebooks at practice, 179 00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:22,400 Speaker 1: what did I miss? What stood out to both of you? 180 00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:26,040 Speaker 1: It was not a full pad's practice, was it? Huh? No, 181 00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:29,559 Speaker 1: it was not. No, So what I what stood out 182 00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:31,439 Speaker 1: to me? And I'll just kind of go through my think. 183 00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:35,880 Speaker 1: Dan Krikschenk was on my list a lot number eighty four. 184 00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:39,800 Speaker 1: Corey Davis was on my list. M Wesley Woodyard. I 185 00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:42,640 Speaker 1: don't know if you guys saw this. Wesley Woodyard was 186 00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:45,839 Speaker 1: leading the crowd that was out at practice in the 187 00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:48,920 Speaker 1: defense chant probably the only guy in the roster who 188 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:50,840 Speaker 1: could have gotten by with it, and he got them 189 00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:53,080 Speaker 1: all doing did it. It would took them a couple 190 00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:55,640 Speaker 1: of tries to a couple of times. It didn't really 191 00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:58,280 Speaker 1: take off, but at the end, yeah, it was. It 192 00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:02,079 Speaker 1: got pretty lovely. Yeah, So that was probably my crowning 193 00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:05,440 Speaker 1: moment because that just tickled me so much. John nu 194 00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:07,320 Speaker 1: Smith had a good day. You know, he was filling 195 00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:10,040 Speaker 1: in for Delaney Walker, who didn't practice again today. Obviously, 196 00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:13,520 Speaker 1: Philip Supernal remains on the team's physically unable to perform list. 197 00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:16,160 Speaker 1: You know, got Luke Stocker Bick. You've got some other 198 00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:17,800 Speaker 1: guys that are getting action as well. But I thought 199 00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:19,360 Speaker 1: John Knu had a good day. There was one player 200 00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:24,480 Speaker 1: in practice, rewnt kind of went ran a wheel route, 201 00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:27,120 Speaker 1: got wide open down field, caught a pass. He caught 202 00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:29,400 Speaker 1: a number of passes today. So John nws on my list. 203 00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:33,160 Speaker 1: Damntre Hurst we talked about earlier, just an activity he 204 00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:37,520 Speaker 1: got while filling in for Jonathan Cyprian Court Davis to 205 00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:40,720 Speaker 1: have him down. I thought, Harold Landry, he had a 206 00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:42,840 Speaker 1: really nice rush on one play, looked like he shot 207 00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:45,920 Speaker 1: out of a cannon, went straight toward Marcus Mariota and 208 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:49,240 Speaker 1: would have sacked him. In addition to Woodyard leading the defense, 209 00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:52,480 Speaker 1: chant he made several nice plays to a very active 210 00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:56,280 Speaker 1: in practice, got into the backfield on at least one occasion. 211 00:10:56,520 --> 00:11:00,040 Speaker 1: It's funny because we had Marcus Mariota on serious and 212 00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:03,640 Speaker 1: you can it's interesting when you interview Marcus because you 213 00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:07,760 Speaker 1: can always tell when he really likes a question, because 214 00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:11,280 Speaker 1: he's sort of it's like he jumps forward a little bit. 215 00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:13,439 Speaker 1: He has a little different look at his eye. Asked 216 00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:16,160 Speaker 1: him about John Nu and he was thrilled to talk 217 00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:19,760 Speaker 1: about John Nu Smith's improvement. Really, it was really interesting 218 00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:23,840 Speaker 1: to see his reaction. That was the question that engaged 219 00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:29,080 Speaker 1: him the most. Lucky break. But you get one right 220 00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:31,800 Speaker 1: every once in a while, right, But he you know, 221 00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:35,640 Speaker 1: instead of just being I mean, you get quarterback answers all, 222 00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:39,040 Speaker 1: Steve McNair, Jake Locker, Vince Young, I mean all, you 223 00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:43,240 Speaker 1: get the quarterback answers, but this was, Hey, this guy 224 00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:46,200 Speaker 1: has really come on. He's stronger, he's faster, he's a 225 00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:49,360 Speaker 1: great athlete. You could tell he was excited about number 226 00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:52,240 Speaker 1: eighty one. Well, gosh, Mike, every time I looked over 227 00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:54,800 Speaker 1: at where you guys were set up for serious there 228 00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:59,439 Speaker 1: was some other awesome t It was an all star lineup. 229 00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:03,120 Speaker 1: It was an all star lineup. A few things so 230 00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:07,760 Speaker 1: Jarrell Casey was on and the best comment from Casey 231 00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,720 Speaker 1: is he says Lebo's defense is very similar to Dean 232 00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:14,440 Speaker 1: Piece's defense, and he loves it. He loves the fact 233 00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:18,199 Speaker 1: that there there's some terminology changes, but he was very 234 00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:21,600 Speaker 1: blunt in his assessment that it's basically the same defense 235 00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:24,720 Speaker 1: for him, which was kind of explains why the defense 236 00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:28,360 Speaker 1: had had such a smooth transition this offseat right, that 237 00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:31,440 Speaker 1: was a good comment. Delaney Walker claims he will have 238 00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:34,880 Speaker 1: better numbers than last year. I believe seventy four catches, 239 00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:37,480 Speaker 1: eight hundred and seven yards, three touchdowns a year ago. 240 00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:41,040 Speaker 1: He believes this offense is made for him. I think 241 00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:43,480 Speaker 1: he likes the day's off My prediction is he will 242 00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:46,960 Speaker 1: have fewer catches, but with more yards and more touchdowns, 243 00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:50,199 Speaker 1: more space to work with. I agree with that. With 244 00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:53,760 Speaker 1: a new running back in Dean Lewis and some receivers 245 00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:57,120 Speaker 1: who I think will continue to develop and help get 246 00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:59,760 Speaker 1: him some more open space. Is he the leading receiver 247 00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:05,079 Speaker 1: this team? Yes or no? No? Yes, I think it's 248 00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:08,320 Speaker 1: Corey Davis. See I think so too. I like it. 249 00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:11,120 Speaker 1: When change my answer, I'm gonna change my answer now. 250 00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:16,880 Speaker 1: Uh sorry. Brett Kern was a really good guest, and 251 00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:19,840 Speaker 1: he fully admitted he doesn't like to tackle people. He 252 00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:23,560 Speaker 1: doesn't look like he enjoys. He made it very, very clear. 253 00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:25,679 Speaker 1: I don't think anyone ever thought he liked that. I 254 00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:29,280 Speaker 1: really admired his honesty. He did not. He did not 255 00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:31,720 Speaker 1: sort of pump up the macho factor on that. But 256 00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:34,160 Speaker 1: I admired his honesty greatly. You know who does like 257 00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:38,280 Speaker 1: tackling people? Bow Brinkley. Yes he does. He always. He 258 00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:40,800 Speaker 1: also like two hundred and fifty five pounds. That's who's 259 00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:43,400 Speaker 1: so specialist. You know. Roberonas used to love to tackle. 260 00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:49,360 Speaker 1: He used to, I mean he he would he would 261 00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:51,160 Speaker 1: get a shot in on the sideline if a guy 262 00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:57,240 Speaker 1: was lingering there near the paint. Yes, Gary Anderson didn't 263 00:13:57,240 --> 00:14:00,839 Speaker 1: like that so much. Well ed, he would tackle, he 264 00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:03,000 Speaker 1: would tackle, but he got hurt, got hurt every time 265 00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:06,440 Speaker 1: he did. Yeah, and other punters around here, Craig Hendrick 266 00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:10,040 Speaker 1: would would make an effort. Well, he could tackle. He's 267 00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:12,760 Speaker 1: a good athlete. He just he would hurt himself. Unfortunately, 268 00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:14,520 Speaker 1: he would hurt his neck or so you didn't want 269 00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:18,640 Speaker 1: Craig Hendrick to tackle. So Brett Current admitted that we've 270 00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:21,240 Speaker 1: got Casey Rashaun Evans had a chance to talk with him, 271 00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:25,080 Speaker 1: and he was very excited to talk about how much 272 00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:30,400 Speaker 1: he loves the linebacker room, how much he enjoys Woodyard 273 00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:33,360 Speaker 1: and a rack Po and Morgan and what all those 274 00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:35,760 Speaker 1: guys mean to him already, and how much he enjoys 275 00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:39,480 Speaker 1: his position. Coach Tyrone mackenzie, Terry McKenzie's a fun guy 276 00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:42,280 Speaker 1: to watch it pride, he really is. He's he's jumping, 277 00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:46,440 Speaker 1: meeting guys in mid air. He's an encourager. He's got 278 00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:49,320 Speaker 1: a great story himself, just about his perseverance just to 279 00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:52,520 Speaker 1: get to where he is now. And uh, I think 280 00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:55,840 Speaker 1: he brings a lot of energy to that room. Then 281 00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:58,760 Speaker 1: Vrabel shocked me. I mentioned really as he was going 282 00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:01,840 Speaker 1: off the air, mentioned that a week from today he 283 00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:05,440 Speaker 1: will be coaching his first game. And he starts a 284 00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:07,520 Speaker 1: comment that he looks at me. He goes heads or tails. 285 00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:11,920 Speaker 1: I said tails. He says, take the ball or kickoff 286 00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:15,280 Speaker 1: us take the ball? Yes, come on, we're playing Green Bay. 287 00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:18,440 Speaker 1: You'd go tails, you take the ball. So I hope 288 00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:21,800 Speaker 1: that doesn't happen, because if it does and it doesn't 289 00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:24,360 Speaker 1: work out, he's going to stand up at his press 290 00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:28,600 Speaker 1: conference and I'm going under the bus. Yes, I was 291 00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:34,000 Speaker 1: so shocked. Via Lambeau. Oh I think he might. But 292 00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:36,160 Speaker 1: I'd go over to Crowls and get a butter burger 293 00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:38,640 Speaker 1: and I would be better better be left at Lambeau 294 00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:42,520 Speaker 1: in August and December. Are you going to go to 295 00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:45,760 Speaker 1: Crowls while we're there? I need to figure out where 296 00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:47,000 Speaker 1: I'm going on. I guess we got a little bit 297 00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:48,840 Speaker 1: of time on Wednesday night when we get up there, 298 00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:52,000 Speaker 1: I'm going for a run and nice crisp temperatures up there. 299 00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:55,400 Speaker 1: Look at you, mister exercise work a lot, he works out. 300 00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:59,880 Speaker 1: This guy's so perfect, You are so perfect, You're the best. 301 00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:03,760 Speaker 1: And then we've got a long day on Thursday. Uh, 302 00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:05,640 Speaker 1: what are we gonna do in Green Bay on Thursday? 303 00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:07,800 Speaker 1: We gotta look Jeff Harding's way, and here Jeff Harding 304 00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:09,840 Speaker 1: has got experience in. Jeff Harding used to work in 305 00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:13,080 Speaker 1: Green Bay. Give us a sing, but I bet he'd 306 00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:15,920 Speaker 1: like a Crowls. He would. He's shaking his head. Yes, 307 00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:21,760 Speaker 1: we u Jimmy John's Chili John. That doesn't sound like 308 00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:24,360 Speaker 1: it feels good on your stomach. Well, the food, I mean, 309 00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:27,720 Speaker 1: it's one of those places that you absolutely have to go. 310 00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:31,280 Speaker 1: They get the cheese curds and the butter burgers and 311 00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:35,800 Speaker 1: Midwestern food. Oh, it's just delicious. It's it's like you 312 00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:39,280 Speaker 1: you'll need an angioplasty immediately after, but it's okay. Team 313 00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:41,440 Speaker 1: staying in Green Bay too, I think, which is unusual 314 00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:44,440 Speaker 1: Appleton a lot of time. Well, we always stayed at 315 00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:47,800 Speaker 1: the Paper Valley in in Appleton, and the Paper Valley 316 00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:52,200 Speaker 1: Inn is the greatest hotel in the NFL in terms 317 00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:55,760 Speaker 1: of service. They are so nice. You come in and 318 00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:59,920 Speaker 1: they have cookies places they were they've made, They've made 319 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:05,440 Speaker 1: to helmet cookies, big giant sugar cookies that they hand out. 320 00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:08,400 Speaker 1: And Lombardi Steakhouse is there, and there are all kinds 321 00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:11,040 Speaker 1: of places you can walk in Appleton. And during the 322 00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:13,240 Speaker 1: day in Appleton, that's where you would go for a 323 00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:15,719 Speaker 1: run or walk down to the park. Or I mean, 324 00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:19,680 Speaker 1: it's a beautiful town and they treat everyone in the 325 00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:23,320 Speaker 1: party like a king and so. And the reason we 326 00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:25,280 Speaker 1: would stay there and not in green Papers there were 327 00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:28,600 Speaker 1: no hotels in Green Bay, and now there apparently is 328 00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:32,040 Speaker 1: a hotel large enough to handle us. Yeah, well, you're 329 00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:34,920 Speaker 1: making Apple to sound pretty good. I wouldn't mind. Appleton 330 00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:37,320 Speaker 1: is great, and the paper valley and the people there 331 00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:40,400 Speaker 1: are the best. And I'm looking forward the Trump. I'm 332 00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:43,440 Speaker 1: looking forward to seeing what we've seen on the field, 333 00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:46,520 Speaker 1: how it carries over into games. I'm looking forward to 334 00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:48,920 Speaker 1: seeing some of the young players who could get a 335 00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:52,120 Speaker 1: chance to play in a second half. And I'm looking 336 00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:54,200 Speaker 1: forward to sending Mike Rabel on the sideline for his 337 00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:56,359 Speaker 1: first game and just say he kind of handles in 338 00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:59,680 Speaker 1: game situations. So a lot to look forward. Too hard 339 00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:01,560 Speaker 1: to believe if it's a week from today. I know 340 00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:03,159 Speaker 1: we're early on this, but I have to ask this 341 00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:08,760 Speaker 1: question to the panel. Aaron Rodgers plays or not, I'll 342 00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:16,119 Speaker 1: say no, I think he too. First five Snap, I 343 00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:19,400 Speaker 1: think first series. Yeah, you're outvoted two to one. Jim. 344 00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:24,120 Speaker 1: Even though you're healthier, you you work harder. Your employee 345 00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:27,879 Speaker 1: of the Year, I don't know about any of that. 346 00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:31,080 Speaker 1: More famous more Twitter followers. Even though all of that 347 00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:34,080 Speaker 1: is true, you are outvoted two to one. I'm just 348 00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:36,159 Speaker 1: hoping we go to Green Bays, we don't have a 349 00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:39,080 Speaker 1: lightning storm, any kind of electricity in the here on that. Well, 350 00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:41,520 Speaker 1: I just hope the commissioner of the NFL isn't out 351 00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:45,200 Speaker 1: in the Hamptons where they can't find him, because that 352 00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:48,840 Speaker 1: was what what happened in that two thousand and three 353 00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:51,560 Speaker 1: preseason game where we had the two hour, forty seven 354 00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:55,399 Speaker 1: minute delay. They couldn't find Taglia boot started back. What 355 00:18:55,560 --> 00:19:00,399 Speaker 1: about eleven. Well, the greatest thing about that was so 356 00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:03,680 Speaker 1: they start back with a punt return and then we 357 00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:06,720 Speaker 1: go to the two minute warning. That was the best part. 358 00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:09,760 Speaker 1: Story up. Okay, you don't know the story. I don't 359 00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:11,600 Speaker 1: know the story. Well that's because you were in like 360 00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:17,320 Speaker 1: junior higher two and three. Not quit. Okay, thank you. 361 00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:21,960 Speaker 1: So two thousand and three preseason finale, go to Green 362 00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:27,040 Speaker 1: Bay and we're gonna run the ball. Both teams are 363 00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:29,440 Speaker 1: gonna run the ball like forty five times. We're gonna 364 00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:32,520 Speaker 1: get out of there, and the game's flying along. Roughly 365 00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:35,040 Speaker 1: two minutes to go in the first half, just a 366 00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:39,119 Speaker 1: little outside the two minute warning, there's lightning, and I 367 00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:41,440 Speaker 1: mean it comes quite a storm, and so they clear 368 00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:47,320 Speaker 1: the stands. Well it it. We're really kind of excited 369 00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:53,359 Speaker 1: because we're sitting there thinking, Okay, everybody's gotten their money's worth, 370 00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:57,120 Speaker 1: We've gotten half the game in. Basically, they're gonna call 371 00:19:57,240 --> 00:20:00,760 Speaker 1: this thing and we're gonna get out of here. So 372 00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:03,720 Speaker 1: in order to call it, they have to get in 373 00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:07,879 Speaker 1: touch with Tagliaboo. Well, the story was Tagliaboo was somewhere 374 00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:09,240 Speaker 1: and they couldn't get a hold of you. But I mean, 375 00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:13,080 Speaker 1: two thousand and three, cell phone technology is a little different. 376 00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:15,000 Speaker 1: You know, you might not have service, or you might 377 00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:17,719 Speaker 1: not have a cell phone on you or whatever. Well, 378 00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:21,520 Speaker 1: I can't get ahold of it. The delay ends up 379 00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:25,119 Speaker 1: being two hours and forty seven minutes before we resumed, 380 00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:30,399 Speaker 1: and the story was they didn't want to cancel the 381 00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:34,600 Speaker 1: game because they didn't want to affect the integrity of 382 00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:38,920 Speaker 1: the game. Excuse me, it's a preseason game. There's no integrity, 383 00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:40,800 Speaker 1: thank you. Well, no, I mean that there is. But 384 00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:43,840 Speaker 1: we had played a half. Everybody who had come to 385 00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:48,160 Speaker 1: see everything had I mean, and when the crowd came back, Jim, 386 00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:50,480 Speaker 1: there weren't five thousand people in the house. And this 387 00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:54,040 Speaker 1: is Green Bay where they lived for it. Yeah, they 388 00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:56,320 Speaker 1: empty the stadium and you didn't even know if anybody 389 00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:58,119 Speaker 1: was still hanging around because they were all hanging out 390 00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:00,720 Speaker 1: in the concourse. And I was working at the Tennessee 391 00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:02,520 Speaker 1: at the time I had my story written. I was 392 00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:04,040 Speaker 1: ready to get out there. I was ready ahead the 393 00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:07,359 Speaker 1: casino that night went some money. Yeah, that's when I 394 00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:08,960 Speaker 1: was able to do that kind of thing. When I 395 00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:11,600 Speaker 1: was working at the papers, I was going to rake in. Uh, 396 00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:13,800 Speaker 1: they were knocking it down, and as I was, I 397 00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:15,600 Speaker 1: had I was just ready to hit a button to 398 00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:17,919 Speaker 1: you know, for my story. But now you have lowered 399 00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:20,960 Speaker 1: your opinion of many of the listeners because you've admitted 400 00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:24,520 Speaker 1: you were willing to go gaming. So then I kept thinking, sure, 401 00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:26,280 Speaker 1: this game is gonna be canceled. Sure to this game 402 00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:29,520 Speaker 1: is gonna be canceled. And then you know, and every 403 00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:31,760 Speaker 1: time it was a lightning strike, they delayed it even further. 404 00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:34,200 Speaker 1: Then once you realize they weren't going to cancel it, 405 00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:37,200 Speaker 1: people started fulling. You know, they've made an announcement games 406 00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:39,920 Speaker 1: gonna start back in forty five minutes and people started 407 00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:42,840 Speaker 1: coming back in the stadium and uh, and it was 408 00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:46,320 Speaker 1: worst case scenari We got there so late, players read 409 00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:49,800 Speaker 1: pizza and hanging out in the locker room. They weren't obviously, 410 00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:52,640 Speaker 1: they got loosened up to play and then to come 411 00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:55,199 Speaker 1: back and play again after hanging out the locker room, 412 00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:57,960 Speaker 1: winning great scenario. I think Rocket Kalmas ended up hurting 413 00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:01,960 Speaker 1: his hamstring his hamstrings gonna be the starter, but was 414 00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:05,840 Speaker 1: covering the punt right after. And then we but it 415 00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:08,680 Speaker 1: was so ironic, It's like, okay, we have one play 416 00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:11,240 Speaker 1: and then we went to the two minute warning. Awesome. 417 00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:14,639 Speaker 1: Oh it was so bad and you're you're sitting here 418 00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:17,000 Speaker 1: and our crew, Pat Ryan, who I used to work with, 419 00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:20,280 Speaker 1: who I love so much, I mean, one of the 420 00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:23,879 Speaker 1: funniest people alive. Well, Pat wasn't. He was a quarterback 421 00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:26,800 Speaker 1: for the New York Jets for thirteen years. Pat occasionally 422 00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:32,800 Speaker 1: was grumpy, well more than occasionally he was. He was 423 00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:36,480 Speaker 1: grumpy quite a bit. And Pat was not a huge 424 00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:41,680 Speaker 1: fan of the preseason either, so he was so not 425 00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:45,920 Speaker 1: happy on the air about having to because we went 426 00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:48,000 Speaker 1: we go to the two minute warning, we finished the 427 00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:51,600 Speaker 1: first half. We have halftime twelve minutes, so everyone comes 428 00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:54,560 Speaker 1: back off the play the whole thing. We're thinking we're 429 00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:57,399 Speaker 1: gonna be home by twelve thirty one o'clock if they 430 00:22:57,520 --> 00:23:00,760 Speaker 1: call this game, which, as you know traveling in the preseason, 431 00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:04,600 Speaker 1: it's incredible. Yeah, and this was just the end of 432 00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:06,200 Speaker 1: the world bad. I think we got home at four 433 00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:09,680 Speaker 1: thirty in the morning. It was just awful. And again 434 00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:11,840 Speaker 1: that was my newspaper day, so I wasn't on the 435 00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:13,639 Speaker 1: team flight. I think I had a flight out of 436 00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:16,639 Speaker 1: Green Bay the next morning at like seven o'clock in 437 00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:18,879 Speaker 1: the morning. It wasn't so bad though, because the casino 438 00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:21,280 Speaker 1: was still open. Still, I think I maybe still hit 439 00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:22,920 Speaker 1: it because I didn't go to sleep that night because 440 00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:25,000 Speaker 1: we got either so late, I had to write a story. 441 00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:26,879 Speaker 1: I had an early flight, so it didn't even sleep. 442 00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:29,760 Speaker 1: Didn't even sleep that night. Can you write a story 443 00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:32,119 Speaker 1: at the casino? Did you sit there at a lot 444 00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:36,359 Speaker 1: of bells and whip last going off in the you know, 445 00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:40,520 Speaker 1: the the people you know shuffling the cars don't want 446 00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:43,160 Speaker 1: to deal to a guy that's got his computer open, 447 00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:46,400 Speaker 1: and I think they would frown on that. Yeah, even 448 00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:50,840 Speaker 1: the Golden Boys got a little dark streak. We found it, 449 00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:54,080 Speaker 1: but that was that was the nightmare of all nightmares. 450 00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:56,840 Speaker 1: And so next Thursday, I don't think that happens. I 451 00:23:56,920 --> 00:23:59,600 Speaker 1: hope not, although we've I'm knocking on wood here, although 452 00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:03,800 Speaker 1: good better have his phone on. Well. It being the 453 00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:09,080 Speaker 1: fourth preseason game, it was you know, it seemed like 454 00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:11,440 Speaker 1: to everybody, the logical thing is, let's call it and 455 00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:15,400 Speaker 1: get out of here. And everybody did not get anybody hurt. Uh, 456 00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:18,720 Speaker 1: not get anybody killed in the stands because there would 457 00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:21,040 Speaker 1: be somebody who would try to stick around. I mean, 458 00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:24,600 Speaker 1: you know, it was just it seemed like logic would 459 00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:27,840 Speaker 1: have would have dictated, let's not play it. So let's 460 00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:30,920 Speaker 1: hope we don't have a repeat performance. I'm knocking on wood. 461 00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:32,600 Speaker 1: If we get back at five in the morning, you 462 00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:37,280 Speaker 1: guys haven't even seen Grumpy. Would put you with pat Ryan? 463 00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:40,080 Speaker 1: You should? We would probably get along time. Pat Ryan 464 00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:43,840 Speaker 1: was the guy. So we have the flight back from Minnesota, 465 00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:46,760 Speaker 1: the one where the flat this was two thousand and 466 00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:53,480 Speaker 1: one or two, where the flaps got stuck. It was 467 00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:56,880 Speaker 1: really it was a scary situation after the fact because 468 00:24:56,920 --> 00:24:59,400 Speaker 1: we didn't know how bad it was at the time. 469 00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:02,560 Speaker 1: The guy comes on the PA and he says, the 470 00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:06,160 Speaker 1: pilot he was my hero of all time life. He goes, yeah, 471 00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:09,119 Speaker 1: we're having a little problem with the flaps, and so 472 00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:12,960 Speaker 1: we're gonna just we're gonna land the plane here in 473 00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:20,280 Speaker 1: Chicago at O'Hare Airport. Well that's weird, but he's so calm. 474 00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:23,480 Speaker 1: He you know, when we land the plane at O'Hare 475 00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:28,479 Speaker 1: and they're like fire trucks and foam try. I mean, 476 00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:32,960 Speaker 1: it's like, we're this is like an emergency landing because 477 00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:35,520 Speaker 1: apparently they can't they don't think they're going to be 478 00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:37,600 Speaker 1: able to stop the plane. I don't understand all of 479 00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:41,680 Speaker 1: the aerodynamics, but it's really bad. So we're all fine. 480 00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:44,720 Speaker 1: Took him a long time to stop it. O'Hare has 481 00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:47,040 Speaker 1: a long runway apparently, so they stopped the plane. We 482 00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:51,119 Speaker 1: go in. They're getting us another plane. They inform us. 483 00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:54,600 Speaker 1: I'm standing near coach Fisher and they inform us. Coach 484 00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:57,640 Speaker 1: Fisher says to the pilot, Hey, good job there. He goes, yeah, 485 00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:00,800 Speaker 1: usually those situations don't turn out very well. What and 486 00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:04,359 Speaker 1: so all of us are like, oh, thank you lord. 487 00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:06,280 Speaker 1: We had no idea it was this bad. I mean, 488 00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:09,960 Speaker 1: apparently it was very serious and pat Ryan stills, Well, 489 00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:13,080 Speaker 1: I think we could have made it. Why didn't we 490 00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:17,760 Speaker 1: just chance it? And that's Pat Ryan. That's why everybody 491 00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:20,680 Speaker 1: loved Pat Ryan on the air because that was what 492 00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:24,200 Speaker 1: he did on the air. He was so great. Very 493 00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:28,960 Speaker 1: similar to coach McGinnis. Yeah, I like that. I'm into that. Yeah, 494 00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:33,879 Speaker 1: very very similar in that way. But those were preseason 495 00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:39,000 Speaker 1: travel can be that. And the game at San Francisco 496 00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:42,480 Speaker 1: that went into overtime and they kicked a field goal 497 00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:44,440 Speaker 1: on the last play of the game. Was that two 498 00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:50,120 Speaker 1: thousand and five? That overtime. If there's anything Congress should outlaw, 499 00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:54,200 Speaker 1: it's overtime in preseason. I emphatically agree with that one 500 00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:57,399 Speaker 1: thousand percent. You should go to jail if you cause 501 00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:01,040 Speaker 1: overtime in the preseason. Yes, you know a lot of 502 00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:04,520 Speaker 1: times teams will go for two or or or try 503 00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:07,400 Speaker 1: something to avoid that happening. At some point, just throw 504 00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:10,399 Speaker 1: the game, let's go. I'm tired. The league should out 505 00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:12,600 Speaker 1: law it. Yes, there's I mean, but to be in 506 00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:16,960 Speaker 1: San Francisco and then to play fifteen extra minutes of football, 507 00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:21,680 Speaker 1: Oh that makes me really sad. Yeah. We're crossing the 508 00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:25,800 Speaker 1: Mississippi River watching the sun come up yeah, and you 509 00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:28,880 Speaker 1: know you don't have a real good team because one 510 00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:31,359 Speaker 1: third of your team brought one third of your team's 511 00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:35,080 Speaker 1: salary cap is taken up by dead money. You're thinking 512 00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:38,560 Speaker 1: this may be the high point. This is it. This 513 00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:43,439 Speaker 1: is the moment, well, very revealing few moments about travel. 514 00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:46,200 Speaker 1: I know people won't be interested in Well, it's a 515 00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:48,000 Speaker 1: big part of our lives, and I feel that we 516 00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:50,679 Speaker 1: should share it with everyone else. This is the OTP. 517 00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:53,000 Speaker 1: This is the OTP. You know what else is the OTP? 518 00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:57,000 Speaker 1: Your conversation with Ian Rapaport speaking of someone who travels 519 00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:59,600 Speaker 1: a lot, travels a lot NFL network.

Well, 524 00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:12,159 Speaker 1: here's the thing about talking to Ian Rappaport that was 525 00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:15,159 Speaker 1: so interesting to me. We know that Adam Schefter is 526 00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:18,000 Speaker 1: on his phone a lot. Ian Rappaport might give him 527 00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:20,560 Speaker 1: a run for his money. There are long pauses in 528 00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:23,920 Speaker 1: this interview, and it's because he's scrolling through Twitter, and 529 00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:25,960 Speaker 1: we talked about that a little bit. How much time 530 00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:30,720 Speaker 1: he actually spends on Twitter. Ian Rappaport here on the 531 00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:34,680 Speaker 1: otp Ian, you've been doing kind of the cross country tour. 532 00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:37,600 Speaker 1: When you're preparing for something like that, to see so 533 00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:40,480 Speaker 1: many different teams, what's the process that you go through 534 00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:43,120 Speaker 1: to get ready for so much activity in such a 535 00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:44,720 Speaker 1: short period of time. Well, I think for me, the 536 00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:48,360 Speaker 1: most important thing is just going to find people and 537 00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:52,520 Speaker 1: kind of rebuild some relationships and sometimes build some new relationships. 538 00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:54,600 Speaker 1: And you know, we have we research, you'll get some 539 00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:56,280 Speaker 1: packets together for us to make sure we know what 540 00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:58,800 Speaker 1: the heck we're talking about. I mean, and honestly, like 541 00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:03,040 Speaker 1: I live it so much that I come here and 542 00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:05,840 Speaker 1: like I know what I'm gonna see, you know. But 543 00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:08,960 Speaker 1: really for me, it's mostly just about like FaceTime and 544 00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:12,280 Speaker 1: just having you know, good casual conversations with with some 545 00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:14,120 Speaker 1: of the people I like talking to about football and 546 00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:17,160 Speaker 1: you know here, I mean, I respect John Robinson a lot, 547 00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:20,360 Speaker 1: really like him, respect the job he's done. It was 548 00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:22,760 Speaker 1: good to get with him before practice for a couple 549 00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:24,560 Speaker 1: of minutes and just chat with him about what's going on. 550 00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:27,200 Speaker 1: I mean, that's the kind of thing that like, you know, 551 00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:29,680 Speaker 1: it's worth the trip here just to come and have 552 00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:32,120 Speaker 1: some of these conversations. When you're having some of those 553 00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:34,840 Speaker 1: conversations across the league, what are some of the major 554 00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:38,120 Speaker 1: headlines that are going on just across the NFL through 555 00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:40,520 Speaker 1: training Campbell, I think everybody wants to know about the holdouts, 556 00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:44,440 Speaker 1: you know holdouts Wens Khalil MC and Aaron Donald's showing up. 557 00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:47,720 Speaker 1: And then you know Wenz Aaron Rodgers going to get 558 00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:50,960 Speaker 1: his contract done. That's another one. And and then you 559 00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:54,360 Speaker 1: know coaches always and GM's always want to hear like, 560 00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:56,800 Speaker 1: what's going on this place, what's going on that place? 561 00:29:56,840 --> 00:29:59,040 Speaker 1: You know they really doing this, they cut this guy? Why? 562 00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:02,920 Speaker 1: You know, everybody sort of wants the gossip, you know 563 00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:08,200 Speaker 1: because everyone during training camp, especially everyone's it's so tunnel visioned. 564 00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:11,040 Speaker 1: You wake up, you go to work, you spend twelve 565 00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:14,000 Speaker 1: hours here more, you go home at eleven o'clock and night, 566 00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:15,640 Speaker 1: you come back the next day. No one has time 567 00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:18,960 Speaker 1: to check Twitter or whatever. So everyone to know what's 568 00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:20,600 Speaker 1: going on every other place, which is kind of fun. 569 00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:23,600 Speaker 1: So you're the guy traveling around the league spreading intel. 570 00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:28,040 Speaker 1: Basically you're a spy. I wouldn't say a spy, but 571 00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:31,760 Speaker 1: I can serve as a conduit for information for a 572 00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:35,400 Speaker 1: couple info thirsty coaches who are spending most of their 573 00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:38,480 Speaker 1: waking hours grinding tape and that kind of stuff. So 574 00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:41,720 Speaker 1: for the Tennessee Titans head coach, first year head coach, 575 00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:44,800 Speaker 1: and Mike Vrabel, we've seen first time head coaches be 576 00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:47,560 Speaker 1: successful in the league. What does Mike Vrabel have to 577 00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:50,080 Speaker 1: do to be successful for the Tennessee Titans. I think 578 00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:53,560 Speaker 1: the first of all, he inherited a great situation obviously, 579 00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:56,040 Speaker 1: I mean, went to the playoffs last year, have a 580 00:30:56,920 --> 00:31:00,360 Speaker 1: really really good quarterback who could maybe take the next 581 00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:03,880 Speaker 1: step and be a great, great quarterback. That's honestly, like, 582 00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:06,160 Speaker 1: why a lot of these guys are here is to 583 00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:12,239 Speaker 1: get that progress out of Marcus Mariota. But get him 584 00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:14,120 Speaker 1: fired up, get him in the right place. He hired 585 00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:18,520 Speaker 1: a really good staff, really bright except for DMP's really 586 00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:22,880 Speaker 1: young staff, and you know, really there's a lot of 587 00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:24,400 Speaker 1: pieces here just to kind of put him in the 588 00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:26,760 Speaker 1: right direction. I mean, I think, you know, Raybel, it's 589 00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:28,720 Speaker 1: from what it sounds like to me. The accountability he's 590 00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:30,800 Speaker 1: demanded from the players is something that was not only 591 00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:34,239 Speaker 1: adhered to but also respected, and they got a lot 592 00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:36,880 Speaker 1: of talent. They should be really good. This Titans offense 593 00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:40,080 Speaker 1: has a lot of young guys, especially in the receiving corps. 594 00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:43,120 Speaker 1: How valuable is that to any football team? Well, I 595 00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:45,760 Speaker 1: think what you're gonna see is, you know, in a way, 596 00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:47,320 Speaker 1: it's hard because you have a lot of guys making 597 00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:49,840 Speaker 1: a lot of mistakes. In the other hand, you have 598 00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:53,480 Speaker 1: group it's going to grow together, you know, and the 599 00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:56,480 Speaker 1: hope is, you know, the the Corey Davis will be 600 00:31:56,640 --> 00:31:59,080 Speaker 1: I mean he's not a veteran yet, but sort of 601 00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:01,760 Speaker 1: be the the leader of this young group and they 602 00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:03,600 Speaker 1: all just kind of get better together. I mean, I 603 00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:07,640 Speaker 1: was you know one of the things, Um, you know 604 00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:11,040 Speaker 1: one of the things that um, I think you'll you 605 00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:13,600 Speaker 1: have four undrafted receivers. You're all fighting to make the roster. 606 00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:16,120 Speaker 1: I know, John Robbinson, it's excited about that. It's competition. 607 00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:18,200 Speaker 1: These guys are gonna be buddies and they're gonna push 608 00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:20,320 Speaker 1: each other, and I think it's a really good place. 609 00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:22,640 Speaker 1: What can Titans fans expect to see out of a 610 00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:28,400 Speaker 1: Dnpas led defense? Um, you know, in the past, what 611 00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:31,200 Speaker 1: in whether in New England or whether in Baltimore, Mean 612 00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:35,920 Speaker 1: what what dem pas defenses have always been is multiple 613 00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:40,520 Speaker 1: and creative, you know, like I think you'll see um. 614 00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:43,920 Speaker 1: You'll see them come after the quarterback, you know, and 615 00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:45,960 Speaker 1: I think obviously that's everybody wants. You want to affect 616 00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:49,440 Speaker 1: the passer um. But you'll see him exploit matchups and 617 00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:51,200 Speaker 1: do it kind of in a creative way. And you know, 618 00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:58,080 Speaker 1: one great thing with dmpas and is uh is one one. 619 00:32:58,120 --> 00:33:00,120 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I check my phone. No one great thing 620 00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:03,360 Speaker 1: about dem pieces He's seen it all. He has absolutely 621 00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:05,760 Speaker 1: seen it all and you're never gonna really surprise him. 622 00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:09,360 Speaker 1: How often give me, like in hours, how much time 623 00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:16,000 Speaker 1: you spend on Twitter? Every day? I would say, I 624 00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:19,400 Speaker 1: would say between. I mean, I would just it's every 625 00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:21,720 Speaker 1: day I wake up, check Twitter, check my check, my 626 00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:25,800 Speaker 1: tax sees calling me, who what calls I missed. It 627 00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:28,120 Speaker 1: is a non stop process from the second I wake 628 00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:29,479 Speaker 1: up to when I go to bed, and then if 629 00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:30,600 Speaker 1: I wake up in the middle of the night, I'll 630 00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:32,960 Speaker 1: check as well. But you're a very plugged in guy. 631 00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:36,040 Speaker 1: You really have a lot of connections throughout this league, 632 00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:38,360 Speaker 1: and that must be something that you really worked hard 633 00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:40,320 Speaker 1: to cultivate. Yeah, I mean a lot of it is 634 00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:42,240 Speaker 1: doing things like this. I mean for two years, I 635 00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:45,840 Speaker 1: was on the road every and for two years I 636 00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:49,560 Speaker 1: was on the road for Thursday night football. And you know, 637 00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:51,200 Speaker 1: going to the games is great, but it's really walking 638 00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:54,239 Speaker 1: the sidlines four games, shaking hands, meeting people. That's why 639 00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:56,479 Speaker 1: I do this tour. I mean, I like seeing football practice, 640 00:33:56,520 --> 00:33:59,360 Speaker 1: that's cool, but a lot of the great things. It's 641 00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:03,040 Speaker 1: like just introducing yourself to people and having conversations and 642 00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:06,200 Speaker 1: building relationships. And it is one of the absolute best 643 00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:07,480 Speaker 1: parts of my job to be able to do that. 644 00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:09,759 Speaker 1: If you were to lose your smartphone, would you be 645 00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:13,719 Speaker 1: able to still do your job, Yes, because I would 646 00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:15,680 Speaker 1: have my iPad and my eye message on my computer. 647 00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:19,160 Speaker 1: All Right, well, Ian Rappaport, we'll let you get back 648 00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:21,200 Speaker 1: to work shaking hands and kissing babies.

A clear back policies in 661 00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:03,200 Speaker 1: effect at Centennial High School and also Nissan Stadium on 662 00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:07,920 Speaker 1: if we could explain clear bag policy very quickly. They 663 00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:12,480 Speaker 1: there are plastic bags that are see through that are 664 00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:16,040 Speaker 1: I don't remember the dimensions, but plastic sea through bags. 665 00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:17,440 Speaker 1: We have to be able to see the contents of 666 00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:22,560 Speaker 1: your bag. Or you can have a small wallet or 667 00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:25,040 Speaker 1: wristlet or clutch something like that, but it's the size 668 00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:27,320 Speaker 1: of the palm of your hand basically, So you have 669 00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:30,600 Speaker 1: to have that if you're going to come to Centennial 670 00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:34,520 Speaker 1: Friday night or to Nissan Stadium on Saturday. And that 671 00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:36,120 Speaker 1: was well done because I was when he asked me 672 00:35:36,200 --> 00:35:39,480 Speaker 1: to clarify, I was gonna say it's a clear bag more. 673 00:35:39,600 --> 00:35:43,360 Speaker 1: That's what I was expecting. But fans will also go 674 00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:46,720 Speaker 1: through a metal detector. Items not allowed on the grounds 675 00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:52,000 Speaker 1: include food and beverage coolers, liquids, umbrellas, chairs, and strollers. 676 00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:54,840 Speaker 1: And that's at Centennial or both both both. Okay, so 677 00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:59,480 Speaker 1: at Centennial for the seven fifteen practice and at Nissan 678 00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:02,200 Speaker 1: Stadium for the three thirty Saturday pract three thirty to 679 00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:04,840 Speaker 1: six on Saturdays. And uh, you know it should be exciting. 680 00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:07,000 Speaker 1: I remember we've we've talked about that being one of 681 00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:12,720 Speaker 1: the most uh exciting practices of training camp just because 682 00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:15,640 Speaker 1: guys are hyped playing in a Friday night setting fans 683 00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:19,279 Speaker 1: right on top of the action. Uh you know, it's uh, 684 00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:22,600 Speaker 1: it's gonna be a chance for fans to see these 685 00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:25,000 Speaker 1: players in a different setting than one they've seen out here. 686 00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:27,480 Speaker 1: Will be a lot cooler obviously, and uh, I think 687 00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:30,040 Speaker 1: as will be jacked up. They love Friday night too, 688 00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:33,319 Speaker 1: because I mean because they remember high school and they 689 00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:37,439 Speaker 1: you know, that's if people think they play this game 690 00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:40,719 Speaker 1: for the money, and I know they do, but I've 691 00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:45,680 Speaker 1: seen very few, especially they're really good ones that the 692 00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:48,879 Speaker 1: money is the most important thing. Yeah, I mean, that's 693 00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:50,719 Speaker 1: part of it, but they you know, they're playing it 694 00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:53,040 Speaker 1: like Delaney Walkers kind of says it the best. I mean, 695 00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:56,040 Speaker 1: it's a kid's game. He loves playing it. He's going 696 00:36:56,080 --> 00:36:58,600 Speaker 1: on to year thirteen. He know, you know, certainly doesn't 697 00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:01,560 Speaker 1: play like it's you know, a business. I mean he 698 00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:03,480 Speaker 1: plays with a lot of emotion. And I think all 699 00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:06,920 Speaker 1: these guys very fortunate to be in the situation that 700 00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:09,080 Speaker 1: they're in where they're able to make a lot of 701 00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:12,200 Speaker 1: money playing a game. And uh, and I think you're 702 00:37:12,239 --> 00:37:15,200 Speaker 1: gonna see that come out on Friday night. It's always 703 00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:17,879 Speaker 1: so it's my favorite practice of training camp, hands down. 704 00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:21,880 Speaker 1: It's under the lights, everyone's excited, there's hot dog stands everywhere. 705 00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:26,400 Speaker 1: But these two practices are not just walkthroughs. I mean 706 00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:27,960 Speaker 1: they're going to be trying to get a lot done 707 00:37:28,040 --> 00:37:31,640 Speaker 1: Friday night at Centennial and then Saturday at Nissan Stadium. Yeah, 708 00:37:31,719 --> 00:37:33,879 Speaker 1: because we are, as we talked about, we're a week 709 00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:36,279 Speaker 1: away from a preseason game and you're trying to clean 710 00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:38,120 Speaker 1: a lot of things up. I think it's you know, 711 00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:42,200 Speaker 1: another big step for the offense and a setting like this, 712 00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:44,680 Speaker 1: I will say, you know, we talked about some of 713 00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:46,480 Speaker 1: the things that stood out from practice today. I think 714 00:37:46,520 --> 00:37:50,120 Speaker 1: the offense continues to make strides and it's really come 715 00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:55,160 Speaker 1: a long ways since the offseason, and I think I think, uh, 716 00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:58,200 Speaker 1: you know, Friday night will be another chance to me continue, 717 00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:00,360 Speaker 1: you know, to continue to get on the same page. Uncouch. 718 00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:03,040 Speaker 1: Rabel even said today that most of what the next 719 00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:04,920 Speaker 1: couple practices are going to be is they're going to 720 00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:08,759 Speaker 1: put the ball down and go and that's more good. Yeah, unscripted, 721 00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:11,919 Speaker 1: more of a scrimmage type atmosphere. So if you come 722 00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:14,400 Speaker 1: out to these events, you're not seeing a bunch of 723 00:38:14,520 --> 00:38:17,640 Speaker 1: drills and things that don't really look like football. You're 724 00:38:17,640 --> 00:38:23,120 Speaker 1: seeing ball it. Centennial did a fantastic job. I think 725 00:38:23,200 --> 00:38:25,480 Speaker 1: Centennial is a great place to do this because they 726 00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:27,479 Speaker 1: have a big parking lot, so that makes it easy. 727 00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:30,680 Speaker 1: It's easy to find. Stadium's a great setup. They have 728 00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:34,680 Speaker 1: plenty of seats, and the folks at Centennial and also 729 00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:38,279 Speaker 1: the Williamson County Schools, the athletic the athletic department within 730 00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:42,520 Speaker 1: Williamson County Schools really work hard on this last year. 731 00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:45,560 Speaker 1: Seeing all the kids there, man, that was special. It 732 00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:47,520 Speaker 1: was cool. And I don't know what the setting is 733 00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:49,279 Speaker 1: gonna be like as far as autographs go, but I 734 00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:52,200 Speaker 1: remember last year before practice even started, players kind of 735 00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:55,640 Speaker 1: scattered around the field and signed autogros for fans. I'm 736 00:38:55,640 --> 00:38:58,080 Speaker 1: sure there's gonna be an opportunity. Again, I'm not saying 737 00:38:58,120 --> 00:39:00,160 Speaker 1: that's exactly what it's gonna play on Friday nine, but 738 00:39:00,239 --> 00:39:02,920 Speaker 1: I suspect that there will be an opportunity at some 739 00:39:03,080 --> 00:39:06,840 Speaker 1: point that night where players are going to mingle with 740 00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:09,800 Speaker 1: fans on the fence line. And uh, you have a 741 00:39:09,880 --> 00:39:12,120 Speaker 1: great chance to get pictures so that that will be 742 00:39:12,360 --> 00:39:14,839 Speaker 1: fun and uh, and you're right it is. I mean 743 00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:18,160 Speaker 1: the parking lots huge, it's easy place to get in 744 00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:20,960 Speaker 1: and out. Uh. And hopefully the weather will hold up 745 00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:23,480 Speaker 1: and be a nice night. Well, funny you say that. 746 00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:26,120 Speaker 1: I just pulled up the weather report for tomorrow is 747 00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:30,360 Speaker 1: supposed to be clear and seventy degrees. That is the 748 00:39:30,520 --> 00:39:33,239 Speaker 1: perfect night for football. If we haven't convinced you with 749 00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:35,640 Speaker 1: anything else, come because it's the best part about it, too, 750 00:39:35,719 --> 00:39:37,239 Speaker 1: is there are a lot of great places to eat 751 00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:40,759 Speaker 1: right around there before or after. Yep. So it's not 752 00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:44,480 Speaker 1: too far from my house too, wells house there is. 753 00:39:45,480 --> 00:39:48,200 Speaker 1: I think it's even closer to my house. Is that right? Yes? 754 00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:51,200 Speaker 1: You go walk? No, No, I won't be work.
