They've run protecting Tennessee and since nineteen 0:00:22.600 --> 0:00:25.240 forty seven. My name is Amy Wells. Thank you so 0:00:25.320 --> 0:00:29.000 much for listening to the OTP. We are here in 0:00:29.200 --> 0:00:31.600 Las Vegas right now at the Pro Bowl. You can 0:00:31.680 --> 0:00:35.839 hear the crowd behind us cheering. They're probably cheering for 0:00:35.880 --> 0:00:38.960 the OTP, or they're cheering for all of the AFC 0:00:39.240 --> 0:00:42.199 Pro Bowlers who are walking out onto the field. And 0:00:42.320 --> 0:00:45.480 I am joined by our own Pro bowler, Jim Wyatt, 0:00:45.960 --> 0:00:49.040 who has been to a couple of Pro Bowls in 0:00:49.120 --> 0:00:51.840 his day. But Jim, you've been all over the place 0:00:51.880 --> 0:00:53.840 these last couple of weeks. So before we talk about 0:00:53.880 --> 0:00:56.240 what you've been doing here in Vegas, I want to 0:00:56.240 --> 0:00:58.800 ask you about your trip to Mobile, Alabama to spend 0:00:58.800 --> 0:01:00.440 some time at the Senior Bowl. I know you had 0:01:00.480 --> 0:01:03.960 a chance to talk to John Robinson while you were there. Jim, 0:01:03.960 --> 0:01:05.520 tell us a little bit about what it was like 0:01:05.640 --> 0:01:08.839 being down in Mobile. Yeah, it's always you know, cool 0:01:08.880 --> 0:01:11.360 to kind of get that process started, I know, you know, 0:01:11.480 --> 0:01:13.959 for us and for the Titans. You kind of wish 0:01:14.000 --> 0:01:17.680 this two twenty one season was still going on, but no, 0:01:18.240 --> 0:01:20.520 you've got to start moving on after you lose. And 0:01:20.560 --> 0:01:22.480 that's what John Robinson is doing. I think that's what 0:01:22.560 --> 0:01:25.600 all the Titans scouts that were down in Mobile were doing. 0:01:26.360 --> 0:01:28.399 It was cool to kind of see another crop of 0:01:28.440 --> 0:01:31.840 players come through you. No, I'm not so sure that 0:01:31.840 --> 0:01:35.040 that group in Mobile this year is going to produce 0:01:35.160 --> 0:01:38.640 like the top ten picks like maybe some years passed, 0:01:38.680 --> 0:01:41.720 but certainly some really good players and you know, I 0:01:41.720 --> 0:01:44.880 think and John Robinson was certainly paying close attention to 0:01:44.880 --> 0:01:48.600 all of them. So you then took a plane, strings 0:01:48.600 --> 0:01:51.360 and automobiles really is what you took to get out here, 0:01:51.760 --> 0:01:54.000 arrived in Las Vegas. We've been at the Pro Bowl 0:01:54.040 --> 0:01:58.840 all week. Jim in just your experience and being out here, 0:01:58.840 --> 0:02:00.800 what has it been like being had a Pro Bowl 0:02:00.800 --> 0:02:03.080 in Las Vegas. It's very different from Pro Bowls in 0:02:03.120 --> 0:02:05.560 the past. Yeah, it is, but I think Vegas has 0:02:05.600 --> 0:02:07.200 done a good job with it. I know all of 0:02:07.280 --> 0:02:09.520 us when we came out here didn't exactly know what 0:02:09.639 --> 0:02:12.320 to expect and uh, and it's not like we're doing 0:02:12.360 --> 0:02:13.800 the Pro Bowl right in the middle of the strip 0:02:13.960 --> 0:02:16.800 right off the struff. I mean it's an outskirts where 0:02:16.880 --> 0:02:20.119 the Las Vegas Baseball Park, which is a beautiful facility. 0:02:20.120 --> 0:02:22.880 But the crowds have been great. Access I think has 0:02:22.919 --> 0:02:25.399 been good, Our players have been great to deal with. 0:02:26.080 --> 0:02:28.760 We've went to several of these in Orlando obviously and 0:02:28.840 --> 0:02:30.919 kind of knew the lay of the land there back 0:02:30.960 --> 0:02:32.520 in my days when I was at the Tennessee and 0:02:32.520 --> 0:02:34.600 I was lucky enough to cover you know, some Pro 0:02:34.680 --> 0:02:38.080 bowls in Hawaii. That's still my favorite place to go 0:02:38.160 --> 0:02:41.880 for a prowl. Shocking. Wish we could get back there, 0:02:42.160 --> 0:02:44.720 but this is not a bad spot. And I think 0:02:45.000 --> 0:02:47.679 you know, every one of these guys, you know, including 0:02:47.720 --> 0:02:50.520 the head coach, wish they were preparing for a Super Bowl. 0:02:50.560 --> 0:02:54.120 But it's cool to see our guys here, cool to 0:02:54.120 --> 0:02:58.040 see our coaching staff here, our equipment guys here, are 0:02:58.120 --> 0:03:00.239 you know, support staff here? I mean a lot of 0:03:00.240 --> 0:03:01.720 ways you look out there. It seems like we're to 0:03:01.720 --> 0:03:03.959 tighten the practice when we're watching some of this unfold. 0:03:04.440 --> 0:03:08.000 It is really fun having so many Titans people here. 0:03:08.040 --> 0:03:12.079 Because the Titans coaching staff is coaching the AFC team. 0:03:12.320 --> 0:03:13.760 I know you had a chance to catch up with 0:03:13.919 --> 0:03:17.000 Mike Rabel. What has this experience been like for him? Yeah, 0:03:17.040 --> 0:03:20.800 I mean it's cool. Is funny. I thought Roger Southall 0:03:20.880 --> 0:03:24.160 was pretty funny yesterday just talking about how his tone 0:03:24.200 --> 0:03:26.440 and his voice is at a level that he's not 0:03:26.560 --> 0:03:29.360 used to hearing during practice. I mean, you know, Vrabel 0:03:29.680 --> 0:03:33.440 certainly is a hardcore, intense coach. We've seen him on 0:03:33.480 --> 0:03:36.480 the practice field of Nashville light into guys, but we've 0:03:36.520 --> 0:03:39.320 also seen him, like in the stretch, cutting up with guys. 0:03:39.320 --> 0:03:43.000 I mean, does he does a good job of building relationships. Yeah, 0:03:43.000 --> 0:03:44.960 he can light a fire, and of these players he 0:03:44.960 --> 0:03:46.600 can call him out, but I think he's able to 0:03:46.640 --> 0:03:49.520 do that because he does build a good rapport with 0:03:49.560 --> 0:03:51.800 these guys and they respect one another. So it's been 0:03:51.840 --> 0:03:53.640 cool to see him during the course this week when 0:03:53.680 --> 0:03:57.760 practice starts, whether he's going to Travis Kelsey or you know, 0:03:58.080 --> 0:04:01.080 Patrick Mahomes or Tyreek Hill or you know name a 0:04:01.080 --> 0:04:03.360 player from across the league is on the AFC team, 0:04:03.760 --> 0:04:05.960 Rabel's trying to build a little bit of a rapport 0:04:06.080 --> 0:04:09.720 with those guys. He's cracking jokes, I mean, shown a lighter, 0:04:10.080 --> 0:04:14.440 gentler side to him. But then also no I don't 0:04:14.440 --> 0:04:16.880 know that Mike Rabel is a Pro Bowl guy. I mean, 0:04:16.880 --> 0:04:21.920 he's all about team goals. This is an individual accomplishment 0:04:21.920 --> 0:04:23.920 to get to the Pro Bowls. So I think he's 0:04:23.960 --> 0:04:26.400 happy to be here. He's proud to coach the AFC team. 0:04:26.400 --> 0:04:30.919 He's enjoying the experience. But no next year, he's hoping 0:04:30.920 --> 0:04:34.440 he's not at this game. You're right, there's definitely a 0:04:34.560 --> 0:04:38.280 lighter atmosphere here in kind of all aspects of it, 0:04:38.320 --> 0:04:41.160 from the fans and the stands, especially on the weekend. 0:04:41.160 --> 0:04:43.560 I mean, they're ready to go. Some of them, I'm 0:04:43.560 --> 0:04:45.880 sure are fresh off the strip and just walked on 0:04:46.000 --> 0:04:48.719 in here. But really, I mean, this has been a 0:04:48.760 --> 0:04:51.320 cool environment, and it's been really fun to see the 0:04:51.320 --> 0:04:55.160 Titans coaching staff hanging out around here and being involved 0:04:55.240 --> 0:04:58.479 with some of the greats from across the AFC. Yes, 0:04:58.600 --> 0:05:00.360 and we've seen some Titans fans here. I mean, I 0:05:00.400 --> 0:05:03.360 think obviously the majority of these fans or fans of 0:05:03.400 --> 0:05:05.960 the West Coast team. We see a lot of Raiders jerseys, 0:05:05.960 --> 0:05:08.599 which is you know, not a surprise, a being that 0:05:08.640 --> 0:05:11.159 we're in Vegas. We've seen a lot of Chargers fans, 0:05:11.160 --> 0:05:13.160 seeing a lot of four to nine Ers fans. But 0:05:13.240 --> 0:05:16.880 we have seen a sprinkling of Titans fans here and uh, 0:05:17.000 --> 0:05:19.080 you know, Kevin Byrd. Cool to see him kind of 0:05:19.200 --> 0:05:21.600 joining this second time around. His life has changed so 0:05:21.680 --> 0:05:24.520 much from the time he went in two seventeen. Even 0:05:24.560 --> 0:05:26.559 back then he was single, he was engaged to get married. 0:05:26.600 --> 0:05:30.320 Now he's married, has two kids, you know, and you 0:05:30.360 --> 0:05:33.760 wouldn't think that Vegas is a family friendly place to 0:05:33.800 --> 0:05:35.720 take your small kids. But he's planning to go to 0:05:35.720 --> 0:05:38.200 build a bear and go to the aquarium doing some 0:05:38.360 --> 0:05:41.440 Vegas obviously some Vegas things. And then other guys you 0:05:41.480 --> 0:05:44.880 know from whether Sifold making it after your twelve seasons, 0:05:45.640 --> 0:05:47.800 you know, great accomplistion for him. Cool to see here, 0:05:47.800 --> 0:05:51.080 Old Landry here, Jeffrey Simmons here. What's cool is watching 0:05:51.120 --> 0:05:54.120 those guys, you know, interact with some of the best 0:05:54.120 --> 0:05:56.200 players across the league. I mean, I was watching Jeffrey 0:05:56.200 --> 0:05:59.320 Simmons yesterday talking to Cam Hayward of the Steelers for 0:05:59.360 --> 0:06:02.520 a long time, you know, kind of you see Titans 0:06:02.520 --> 0:06:05.840 players in practice sometimes kind of working on technique, walking 0:06:05.839 --> 0:06:07.919 through things. To see him doing that with Hayward and 0:06:08.000 --> 0:06:09.920 other guys across the league, and they learn things, and 0:06:10.720 --> 0:06:13.560 that is certainly something Mike Brabel's preaching to. Hey, you 0:06:13.600 --> 0:06:15.960 take advantage of the time around these other players from 0:06:15.960 --> 0:06:19.720 across the league. Try to make yourself better. Now speaking 0:06:19.800 --> 0:06:22.760 making ourselves better. Jim White, you're not done on your 0:06:22.800 --> 0:06:25.159 trip across the world. It feels like you are going 0:06:25.200 --> 0:06:29.039 from here to the Super Bowl in Los Angeles. What 0:06:29.120 --> 0:06:31.760 are you most looking forward to about covering your what 0:06:31.880 --> 0:06:34.640 three hundred and fifty eight super Bowl? It's been a 0:06:34.680 --> 0:06:36.480 lot like and when I tell people how many I've 0:06:36.480 --> 0:06:38.200 been to it, I think it thanks that guy. You 0:06:38.279 --> 0:06:40.880 must be old, because I remember when I first started 0:06:40.920 --> 0:06:43.120 going to Super Bowls, when I was at the Tennessee 0:06:43.120 --> 0:06:46.080 and again that you know, you talk about people who 0:06:46.080 --> 0:06:47.840 have been to all these super Bowls and all they 0:06:47.839 --> 0:06:50.760 all of them were older people obviously. So now I 0:06:50.800 --> 0:06:53.400 think I've been to twenty three, maybe twenty four. I 0:06:53.440 --> 0:06:55.360 went to one as a fan way back in the day. 0:06:55.360 --> 0:06:57.960 I drove myself to Atlanta to see the Buffalo Bills play. 0:06:58.000 --> 0:07:01.080 I was a Bills fan growing up, so family friend 0:07:01.360 --> 0:07:04.120 was an official and he was able to get me 0:07:04.160 --> 0:07:05.880 a ticket. I paid for it. It It was three hundred 0:07:05.880 --> 0:07:07.719 and twenty five dollars. Back then, I thought that was 0:07:07.760 --> 0:07:09.960 a steep ticket. Now these tickets are going for ten 0:07:10.040 --> 0:07:13.520 thousand dollars apiece. But that was my first Super Bowl 0:07:13.520 --> 0:07:16.720 experience and now been lucky enough to cover everyone since 0:07:16.840 --> 0:07:19.440 ninety nine, it's different. I mean, I really thought, and 0:07:19.480 --> 0:07:21.440 I know you did too. I think every Titans fan 0:07:21.520 --> 0:07:24.480 out there thought this was the year that the Titans 0:07:24.480 --> 0:07:27.000 would be back in the thing. And so it is 0:07:27.280 --> 0:07:31.520 kind of weird going to a Super Bowl. Now. I'm 0:07:31.560 --> 0:07:33.520 not gonna probably spend a lot of time talking about 0:07:33.560 --> 0:07:36.520 the Bengals and the Rams. I'll probably try to find 0:07:36.680 --> 0:07:40.360 obviously some Titans angles there, but it's still cool to 0:07:40.400 --> 0:07:42.640 be around the game kind of hear what people are 0:07:42.640 --> 0:07:46.560 saying about the Titans, and and you know, we've seen 0:07:46.600 --> 0:07:48.480 that stadium before when we were out there in November, 0:07:48.560 --> 0:07:50.240 so it'd be cool to see So five Stadium and 0:07:50.240 --> 0:07:52.280 see the big game in there again. Jim, I feel like, 0:07:52.320 --> 0:07:54.080 since I have you here and this is such an 0:07:54.200 --> 0:07:57.800 NFL centric situation, we should talk about some news around 0:07:57.800 --> 0:07:59.840 the NFL. The thing that everybody's talking about right now, 0:08:00.200 --> 0:08:04.360 all the coaching vacancies. The Jacksonville Jaguars just announced earlier 0:08:04.400 --> 0:08:06.720 this week that they were hiring Doug Peterson. What are 0:08:06.760 --> 0:08:08.640 your thoughts on that. Well, I think he's a good 0:08:08.720 --> 0:08:11.120 hire man. I think he's obviously an accomplished coach. Coach 0:08:11.160 --> 0:08:14.040 the Eagles to a super Bowl. You know, they could 0:08:14.040 --> 0:08:17.520 have gone a different direction, but after the Urban Meyer disaster, 0:08:17.680 --> 0:08:19.800 I think they probably wanted more of a sure thing, 0:08:20.200 --> 0:08:22.600 and I think he gives him more of a sure thing. 0:08:22.640 --> 0:08:26.520 He's very well respected. I think he'll make their quarterback better, 0:08:26.600 --> 0:08:28.480 which is very important there. I mean, you don't want 0:08:28.480 --> 0:08:30.680 to waste that talent that he has, and I think 0:08:30.680 --> 0:08:33.400 he's gonna get better. I was hoping they'd hire somebody else, 0:08:33.440 --> 0:08:35.640 to be honest, without I was hoping they'd roll the 0:08:35.679 --> 0:08:37.840 dice on somebody and then maybe they'd be starting this 0:08:37.920 --> 0:08:39.760 process again. But I think they got a good coach 0:08:40.040 --> 0:08:42.600 and I think he's gonna make the Jags better. Well, 0:08:42.640 --> 0:08:44.720 it seems like there's still a chance of the team 0:08:44.720 --> 0:08:47.280 in the AFC South might be rolling the dice on someone. 0:08:47.480 --> 0:08:50.320 The Houston Texans still seem to be having conversations about 0:08:50.400 --> 0:08:52.920 Josh McCown. We haven't really heard anything in a couple 0:08:52.920 --> 0:08:54.920 of days. What are your thoughts on what's going on 0:08:55.000 --> 0:08:56.800 in Houston. Yeah, I mean it's kind of been tough 0:08:56.800 --> 0:08:59.000 to read because I think we all knew. I mean, 0:08:59.040 --> 0:09:01.679 we knew of the gate that they had a vacancy, 0:09:01.760 --> 0:09:03.640 and so they had a little of a head start 0:09:03.720 --> 0:09:05.880 on some teams, and there were some things that started 0:09:05.920 --> 0:09:09.840 to come into focus that your thought would maybe have 0:09:09.960 --> 0:09:13.280 transpired by now. So I'm curious to see what's gonna happen. 0:09:13.320 --> 0:09:14.959 I mean, other teams were making decisions. And I was 0:09:15.200 --> 0:09:17.640 driving by Allegiant you know stadium the other day on 0:09:17.679 --> 0:09:19.440 the way back of the hotel, and they've got Josh 0:09:19.480 --> 0:09:21.720 McDaniel's face on the side of the stadium. I mean, 0:09:21.760 --> 0:09:24.640 they've made their hire. And then we talked about Peterson 0:09:24.640 --> 0:09:28.400 teams across the league or getting things done. I was, 0:09:28.760 --> 0:09:30.920 you know, I hated to see what happened to coach 0:09:31.000 --> 0:09:34.000 Cully down in Houston because because he's a he's a 0:09:34.559 --> 0:09:38.040 local guy from Sparta, played football at Vanderbilt. I don't 0:09:38.080 --> 0:09:40.280 think I don't think he got a fair chance down there. 0:09:40.520 --> 0:09:42.720 I thought the players really liked him. I thought they 0:09:42.760 --> 0:09:45.480 showed some spunk down the stretch and uh, and all 0:09:45.520 --> 0:09:48.480 of a sudden, now they're looking for another coach. So uh, 0:09:48.559 --> 0:09:50.920 you know, well, I'm curious myself to see how that 0:09:50.920 --> 0:09:53.400 one plays out. Are there any other vacancies around the 0:09:53.440 --> 0:09:55.240 league that you're kind of keeping your eye on? Still 0:09:55.280 --> 0:09:57.640 there are still a couple that haven't been failed yet. Yeah, 0:09:57.720 --> 0:10:00.600 I think Houston the main one. You know, he's been 0:10:00.640 --> 0:10:03.160 such a whirlwind. I have not seen the rumor mill 0:10:03.200 --> 0:10:05.560 stuff yet. I've seen some rumor mill stuff out there. 0:10:05.600 --> 0:10:07.240 You know that this is the time of year when 0:10:07.840 --> 0:10:09.880 you know, somebody moves to Nashville all of a sudden 0:10:09.880 --> 0:10:12.199 he's the next quarterback of the Tennessee Titans. But so 0:10:12.720 --> 0:10:15.839 you can't you can't ignore that type of rumor mill stuff. 0:10:15.840 --> 0:10:17.600 But I have to say, you know, some of the 0:10:17.600 --> 0:10:21.560 other vacancies, I don't know what to expect some of them. 0:10:21.960 --> 0:10:25.000 It's such an interesting time in the NFL. Everybody gets 0:10:25.080 --> 0:10:29.560 so excited about all these little rumblings and just rumors 0:10:29.600 --> 0:10:32.120 that go around. It's always fun. But we can't get 0:10:32.160 --> 0:10:34.040 too caught up in that because on the other side 0:10:34.040 --> 0:10:36.680 of the Super Bowl, the Combine is just a couple 0:10:36.760 --> 0:10:39.559 weeks away. Things are rolling in the National Football League. 0:10:39.960 --> 0:10:42.199 Can you believe that we are getting closer to the 0:10:42.320 --> 0:10:45.320 draft process, and those things are starting to happen. Well, 0:10:45.360 --> 0:10:48.880 I mean, that's one good thing about a seventeenth game. 0:10:49.280 --> 0:10:52.520 That's one good thing about having a postseason is once 0:10:52.600 --> 0:10:56.680 that ends, then you're not that far away from from 0:10:56.720 --> 0:10:59.880 that process starting. I mean, I remember when the season 0:11:00.000 --> 0:11:02.679 it into December, and certainly there's been some Titan seasons 0:11:02.720 --> 0:11:06.320 that ended into December and there's no postseason, and then 0:11:06.320 --> 0:11:08.440 you had a couple of months before you're kind of 0:11:08.440 --> 0:11:11.600 gearing up for the next process. Now the season ended late, 0:11:11.880 --> 0:11:14.120 had an extra week because they don't have the bo obviously, 0:11:14.120 --> 0:11:16.040 and then he had an extra week, so the season 0:11:16.080 --> 0:11:19.760 was extended by a couple of weeks. And now you're right, 0:11:19.800 --> 0:11:23.079 I mean, the combine is right around the corner. I'm 0:11:23.080 --> 0:11:26.480 looking forward to that. It's gonna be close to normal, 0:11:26.679 --> 0:11:29.240 I think, as it's been in a long time. We 0:11:29.360 --> 0:11:32.400 sat that thing out last year. I kind of wondered, 0:11:33.000 --> 0:11:35.120 you know, through the fall, what it would look like. 0:11:35.200 --> 0:11:37.320 But the league plans on putting it on like it 0:11:37.360 --> 0:11:39.920 always has. Coaches and general managers are coming there for 0:11:39.960 --> 0:11:43.280 those interviews, and I think Tuesday and Wednesday start the week, 0:11:43.280 --> 0:11:46.120 the prospects are gonna be there. From Wednesday to Saturday. 0:11:46.559 --> 0:11:49.960 It sounds like it's full go, and I'm sure it'll 0:11:50.000 --> 0:11:53.959 be twenty degrees and snowing like it usually is when 0:11:53.960 --> 0:11:55.400 we're up there. It's probably not gonna be like it 0:11:55.440 --> 0:11:58.240 is here in Vegas. Absolutely not. But Jim White, thank 0:11:58.280 --> 0:12:00.760 you so much for taking some time to just chat 0:12:00.800 --> 0:12:03.360 about all of your travels across the world. I wish 0:12:03.360 --> 0:12:06.120 we all could be as well traveled as Jim Wyatt. 0:12:06.559 --> 0:12:08.240 Thank you so much for hanging out with us, and 0:12:08.320 --> 0:12:10.760 enjoy the rest of your time in Vegas. I'll do it. 0:12:10.760 --> 0:12:14.040 Could be worst places to be than Vegas. Now, from 0:12:14.120 --> 0:12:16.839 Jim Wyatt to some of the actual guys who are 0:12:16.840 --> 0:12:20.080 participating in the Pro Bowl. The Titans have four guys 0:12:20.120 --> 0:12:23.080 here and a lot of them are new to the 0:12:23.120 --> 0:12:25.440 Pro Bowl scene, so we had to catch up with 0:12:25.480 --> 0:12:28.559 them and see what this experience has been like for them, 0:12:28.600 --> 0:12:37.560 starting with the one, the only big jeff Jeffrey Simmons 0:12:37.640 --> 0:12:41.920 here at the Pro Bowl in sunny Las Vegas. Jeffrey 0:12:42.440 --> 0:12:44.920 Simmons is a pro bowler. How does that sound to you? 0:12:45.480 --> 0:12:47.840 Sounds amazing. When Jay Rob called me Monday, you know, 0:12:48.000 --> 0:12:49.720 I kind of just got chills all over you know, 0:12:49.720 --> 0:12:51.920 I kind of when I saw his name on my fall, 0:12:52.040 --> 0:12:53.400 kind of knew what he was. Kind of call him 0:12:53.400 --> 0:12:55.520 for it. But I mean, I call my family. I 0:12:55.600 --> 0:12:57.040 let my family in all the Pro Bowl. You're not 0:12:57.240 --> 0:12:59.600 been the first alternate, and it still just feel the 0:12:59.600 --> 0:13:01.400 same to me, you know, just being able to be here, 0:13:01.559 --> 0:13:03.880 especially experience with my family, I think that's the most 0:13:03.920 --> 0:13:06.800 important thing to me, Just being able to get them 0:13:06.840 --> 0:13:09.520 up there. It felt amazing and it's a blessing. You're 0:13:09.559 --> 0:13:12.040 still so young in your career and you've been able 0:13:12.080 --> 0:13:15.959 to overcome so many obstacles early on to be at 0:13:16.000 --> 0:13:19.679 this point and recognize still by your peers and other 0:13:19.800 --> 0:13:22.240 coaches as well as the fan base. Of course, that's 0:13:22.280 --> 0:13:24.920 got to feel a little bit special, right sure. I 0:13:24.960 --> 0:13:27.160 mean even being the first halting and you know that's 0:13:27.240 --> 0:13:29.840 mean God's starting to respect you. And I think that's 0:13:29.960 --> 0:13:32.520 when you kind of gain the I guess respect around 0:13:32.520 --> 0:13:35.320 the league. So I think just being able to gain 0:13:35.400 --> 0:13:38.400 the respect from the best here and to see especially 0:13:38.400 --> 0:13:41.000 when you get here and you mingle and you're starting 0:13:41.000 --> 0:13:43.360 to shake guy's hand and just say how much they 0:13:43.600 --> 0:13:46.320 respect your game, and you know, I'm next up. You 0:13:46.400 --> 0:13:47.920 hear all types of stuff like that. I think that 0:13:48.080 --> 0:13:50.800 just stuff kind of also give you chills moments, you know, 0:13:50.880 --> 0:13:54.439 just being able to hear somebody, especially from like Cam 0:13:54.480 --> 0:13:56.800 Harry guys like that. So especially guys like I'll watch 0:13:57.040 --> 0:13:59.000 and look up to because they played my position. So 0:13:59.240 --> 0:14:01.360 I mean, this is all a blessing. I think that's 0:14:01.400 --> 0:14:03.560 just the word for me. Blessing. And you're able to 0:14:03.600 --> 0:14:06.840 work with the Titans coaching staff, who you're already familiar with. 0:14:07.120 --> 0:14:09.000 That's got to be a neat experience to share with them. 0:14:09.000 --> 0:14:10.760 Oh yeah, for sure. I told t we're not doing 0:14:11.280 --> 0:14:14.160 come with all the all the crazy drills in the position. 0:14:14.240 --> 0:14:16.640 So to be able to experience that with all coaches, 0:14:16.679 --> 0:14:17.960 you know, they deserve it as well. You know, we 0:14:18.000 --> 0:14:20.000 had a long, great season and you know, to have 0:14:20.160 --> 0:14:22.280 them here and being able to experience this, especially with 0:14:22.320 --> 0:14:24.800 day family as well, I'm sure it's feel good for 0:14:24.840 --> 0:14:27.160 them too. Being here with guys like Kevin Byrd and 0:14:27.200 --> 0:14:31.480 Harold Landry, two other great Titans teammates, It's got to 0:14:31.520 --> 0:14:33.480 make it a little bit special right to be in 0:14:33.520 --> 0:14:36.600 the same conversation as guys who have had awesome seasons. Yes, 0:14:36.680 --> 0:14:39.040 for sure, especially you know, just start with Harold Man. 0:14:39.280 --> 0:14:42.160 I've seen this guy, you know, just day and day out, 0:14:42.200 --> 0:14:44.040 the way he kind of want to be the best 0:14:44.040 --> 0:14:47.240 of his position and the season he had. Now, I hope, 0:14:47.320 --> 0:14:49.480 I hope everything fall in line for him. I hope 0:14:49.480 --> 0:14:52.200 he back with us KB man, the leader of all 0:14:52.360 --> 0:14:55.800 defense and all team. Honestly, I mean, I don't think 0:14:55.840 --> 0:14:58.040 I haven't. I've been around a better leader than k 0:14:58.160 --> 0:15:00.440 Began as great guy off to feel as well. So 0:15:00.720 --> 0:15:02.440 I think that's just an honor to be here with 0:15:02.480 --> 0:15:05.080 my teammates and Roger Staffield to you get to go 0:15:05.200 --> 0:15:08.680 up against in practice practice. Like I said, we always 0:15:08.720 --> 0:15:11.360 say are and shop are aren't. And Roger got me 0:15:11.440 --> 0:15:13.640 better and I got Roger better than camp and it 0:15:13.760 --> 0:15:16.080 showed during the season. So just have him here as well. 0:15:16.120 --> 0:15:17.920 I know it's feel great for him. He told me 0:15:17.920 --> 0:15:20.040 he being in Vegas since Thursday, So I know you 0:15:20.120 --> 0:15:22.960 all enjoying his time here, especially with family. So like 0:15:22.960 --> 0:15:25.800 I said, he's just a exciting a moment. Well, congratulations 0:15:25.800 --> 0:15:33.720 and enjoy this experience. Oh well, thank you. Harold Landry 0:15:33.800 --> 0:15:37.440 is another guy who has been consistent throughout his tenure 0:15:37.480 --> 0:15:40.800 as a Tennessee Titan, and for him, earning the respect 0:15:40.840 --> 0:15:49.240 of his peers feels pretty good. Harold, How good does 0:15:49.280 --> 0:15:52.760 it feel to hear pro bowler in front of your name? 0:15:52.960 --> 0:15:56.160 Is that something you've been working for? Yeah? No, Man, 0:15:56.280 --> 0:15:58.760 It's definitely a huge honor to be here. Um. You're 0:15:58.760 --> 0:16:00.640 also and Jem I feel, you know, really blessed to 0:16:00.640 --> 0:16:02.520 be here and to be in the you know, the 0:16:02.600 --> 0:16:04.600 same category as all these great players out here. So, 0:16:04.640 --> 0:16:06.240 I mean it's a huge honor. You know, I'm excited 0:16:06.280 --> 0:16:10.280 to be here. You had statistically an awesome season. Does 0:16:10.280 --> 0:16:12.800 it feel good to be getting that recognition from some 0:16:12.880 --> 0:16:16.360 of your peers or is that not necessarily the point? Oh? Yeah, nah, 0:16:16.520 --> 0:16:18.240 I mean, you know, I'd take huge pride, you know, 0:16:18.280 --> 0:16:20.080 the work I put in and to go out there 0:16:20.120 --> 0:16:22.520 and be and have that that amount of production. So, 0:16:22.560 --> 0:16:24.880 I mean, you know, I feel extremely blessed to be 0:16:24.920 --> 0:16:27.560 getting the respect of my peers. Um. So, I mean, 0:16:28.040 --> 0:16:30.120 like I said, it's just a huge honor being able 0:16:30.160 --> 0:16:33.360 to be out here and interact with of course you're 0:16:33.400 --> 0:16:36.320 Titans teammates, but also guys from around the league. What 0:16:36.480 --> 0:16:38.560 has that experience been like and what do you think 0:16:38.600 --> 0:16:40.960 you can maybe learn from some of these other guys 0:16:40.960 --> 0:16:43.000 that you're out on the field way, I'm definitely looking 0:16:43.000 --> 0:16:44.280 forward to, you know, picking the minds of all the 0:16:44.280 --> 0:16:45.720 great players here, you know, seeing what they do in 0:16:45.720 --> 0:16:48.520 an all season and end of season, just so you know, 0:16:48.840 --> 0:16:50.800 I could probably implement that into my game to help 0:16:50.880 --> 0:16:52.760 me and prove. So I'm definitely excited, you know, talk 0:16:52.800 --> 0:16:55.040 to all the players here. Is this the first of 0:16:55.240 --> 0:17:03.920 many Pro Bowls for Harold Landry? That's a plan now. 0:17:03.960 --> 0:17:06.800 On the defensive side of the ball, Kevin Byard has 0:17:06.880 --> 0:17:09.760 been to the Pro Bowl before, and this year he's 0:17:09.760 --> 0:17:12.159 doing it a little bit differently. He's got his kids 0:17:12.280 --> 0:17:16.280 and his wife here, the elder statesman of the defensive 0:17:16.280 --> 0:17:28.639 group of Titans. Here, this is Kevin Byard. Kabe. You 0:17:28.640 --> 0:17:30.520 are not new to the Pro Bowl, but you are 0:17:30.640 --> 0:17:33.520 new to the Pro Bowl in Las Vegas, being here 0:17:33.560 --> 0:17:36.000 having this experience. What's it been like so far? It's 0:17:36.000 --> 0:17:38.240 been awesome. Super excited about the Prentice a day with 0:17:38.400 --> 0:17:40.520 some of the guys, and honestly, just being around some 0:17:40.560 --> 0:17:42.399 of the best players in the league. Talking to those guys, 0:17:42.720 --> 0:17:44.760 not necessarily picking their brains, but just talking and having 0:17:44.760 --> 0:17:47.240 different conversations has been awesome. The fans are great, So 0:17:47.320 --> 0:17:49.560 I'm excited to be here. There's a big group of 0:17:49.560 --> 0:17:53.200 Titans here between the coaching staff and also three other 0:17:53.320 --> 0:17:56.600 Titans teammates of yours. They've never been to the Pro 0:17:56.640 --> 0:17:58.280 Bowl before, So what do you tell them about this 0:17:58.359 --> 0:18:00.960 experience and what to expect and to really take advantage 0:18:00.960 --> 0:18:03.199 of that. Yeah, well, you know, our biggest thing with 0:18:03.280 --> 0:18:05.000 the Titans is, you know, effort and finish. I pretty 0:18:05.080 --> 0:18:06.760 much told him in the Pro Bowl, don't don't be 0:18:06.800 --> 0:18:08.280 too concerned about the effort and Finnish, you know what 0:18:08.320 --> 0:18:10.040 I'm saying. We're out here having a good time. But 0:18:10.119 --> 0:18:12.280 now it feels like home. Honestly, we got our equipment, guys, 0:18:12.280 --> 0:18:14.320 I here, our trainers, so it definitely feels like a 0:18:14.400 --> 0:18:16.520 second home. Like I said, it's exciety especially excited to 0:18:16.560 --> 0:18:18.600 have you know, Jeff, Harold and Roger be able to 0:18:18.600 --> 0:18:20.639 come down here with me as well. Does this really 0:18:20.760 --> 0:18:23.680 feel like it's the cherry on top of what was 0:18:23.800 --> 0:18:27.200 an excellent season for the Tennessee Titans in twenty twenty one, Yeah, 0:18:27.200 --> 0:18:29.520 for sure. I mean, obviously the season didn't end the 0:18:29.560 --> 0:18:31.240 way we wanted to. I mean, it's pretty much the 0:18:31.240 --> 0:18:33.160 same thing for all it's gonna be thirty one teams, 0:18:33.160 --> 0:18:34.560 it's gonna have the same type of feeling at the 0:18:34.600 --> 0:18:36.119 end of the year. But having a little bit of 0:18:36.119 --> 0:18:38.280 time to reflect, it's definitely a great, you know, time 0:18:38.320 --> 0:18:39.879 to be able to kind of think about the good 0:18:39.960 --> 0:18:41.760 year of ham Like you said, talking to other players 0:18:41.760 --> 0:18:43.720 that I've been around, saying how good of a season 0:18:43.760 --> 0:18:45.960 we've had. So it's definitely a cherry on top for sure. 0:18:46.200 --> 0:18:48.919 You're with guys like Jeffrey Simmons and Harold Landry who 0:18:48.960 --> 0:18:51.760
