1
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:10,000
Speaker 1: I'm Taylor's arzer and this is the OTP miss Wells.

2
00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:14,360
Speaker 1: The Titans were right there for sixty minutes, and that's

3
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:16,840
Speaker 1: a good thing. We have not seen that happen in

4
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:21,720
Speaker 1: quite some time. They were leading the football game early,

5
00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:24,320
Speaker 1: they were right there at halftime, that had a chance

6
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:26,840
Speaker 1: to take the lead in the third quarter. They were

7
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:29,920
Speaker 1: right there through four quarters, all the way to the end.

8
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:34,440
Speaker 1: Hard fought lost to a playoff caliber team, playoff team

9
00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:37,800
Speaker 1: from last year, the LA Chargers twenty seven to twenty

10
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:40,200
Speaker 1: the final at Nissan Stadium.

11
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:44,400
Speaker 2: It was a bit brisk. We had fall conditions at

12
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:45,560
Speaker 2: Nissan Stadium.

13
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 3: Taylor another week where you started the broadcast with what

14
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 3: an amazing day.

15
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 4: Let me tell you, Oh no, here we go again.

16
00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:01,080
Speaker 3: I was wearing a hat that was gifted to me

17
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:04,399
Speaker 3: by Matt Thompson, one of our equipment people, because I

18
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:08,400
Speaker 3: looked so cold. I had on not one, not two,

19
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 3: but three coats really, and I had four handwarmers in

20
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 3: various pockets. Now, I will say that I think that

21
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 3: part of this it was like it was supposed.

22
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 4: To maybe hit fifty. I don't think it ever did,

23
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 4: and the sun never came out. It's true and there

24
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:27,960
Speaker 4: was a breeze.

25
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:30,839
Speaker 3: It wasn't windy, it wasn't gusty like two weeks ago,

26
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 3: but there was a breeze, so the air was moving.

27
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 4: It was chili pups. And part of this is because.

28
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 2: I'm layers with temperatures in the forties.

29
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:42,120
Speaker 3: Part of it's because I'm old now, and I understand that.

30
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:44,959
Speaker 3: There was a time in my life where I was

31
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 3: on the sidelines for a game in Pittsburgh while it

32
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 3: was snowing, and I was wearing like a dress and

33
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 3: high boots, and I was like, only my knees are out,

34
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 3: this is fine. And I made it through the whole game,

35
00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:59,279
Speaker 3: and I was like, no, I'm not cold, this is great.

36
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 3: And now I'm freezing. So the only thing that I

37
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 3: can figure is that I am old and my skin

38
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 3: is thin now.

39
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 4: But I was very chilly.

40
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 2: Okay, well we're getting a little hot Maine. That's here.

41
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 1: Amy, You got mad at me for hot temperatures early

42
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:13,520
Speaker 1: in the seasons.

43
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 3: You said it wasn't that hot, and it was like

44
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:20,400
Speaker 3: one hundred and ten on the field, and then you said.

45
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 4: It's like it's a brisk full day, but like it's pretty.

46
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 2: Cold down me, which one would you prefer.

47
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:29,800
Speaker 4: Oh, definitely the hot. Really yeah, cold can kick rocks.

48
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, no way.

49
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:32,640
Speaker 1: I agree with you, and I, by the way, I

50
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 1: used to be the opposite, and I think for the

51
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 1: same reasons. Because I'm old, Yeah, because I have thin

52
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 1: skin yesh literally and figuratively. Yeah, I think you're right.

53
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:43,920
Speaker 1: I'd rather the heat than the cold. But I guess

54
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 1: the point was it felt like football.

55
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 3: It did feel like football. It felt like football. It

56
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 3: was a good game to watch. It was fun to

57
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:54,960
Speaker 3: watch for sixty minutes of football, and that was really exciting,

58
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:57,800
Speaker 3: like to feel like the Titans are in it. This

59
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 3: game is never out of reach your head for a

60
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 3: period of time. Like this felt like a game that

61
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 3: the Titans one or two things go in a different

62
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:08,519
Speaker 3: way and the Titans win.

63
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 1: I do feel like they're coming, that the wins are

64
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:14,240
Speaker 1: going to come this season, and that they're close, and

65
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 1: this was a sign of that. After the open week,

66
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 1: the Titans should get back some of their most important

67
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 1: players for the back end of the season. Notably Jeff

68
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 1: Simmons would be one of those guys, but certainly there

69
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 1: are others. But I do want to know this instead

70
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 1: of describing what a win feels like I do want

71
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 1: you to describe what big plays feel like on the sideline,

72
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 1: when Cody Barton stepped in front of where Justin Herbert

73
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 1: was trying to throw the football and it was a

74
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 1: pick six instantly, I mean, you knew he was going

75
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 1: to score a touchdown. What did that feel like to

76
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 1: stand next to the Titans when that happened.

77
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 3: Oh gosh, It's phenomenal, especially because of who it was.

78
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 3: And you can tell the players on the sideline who

79
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 3: this team just across the board rallies around. This guy's

80
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 3: a leader of everybody, not just his position group, not

81
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 3: just his side of the ball. This is a guy

82
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 3: that everybody respects, everyone enjoys playing with. And so the

83
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 3: excitement not that people don't get excited for everybody making

84
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 3: a play, but there's just a little something like, yeah,

85
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 3: that's our guy, you know. And so seeing everybody run

86
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 3: out onto the field to congratulate him, seeing how fired

87
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 3: up he got about that moment was so cool. It

88
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 3: was the same thing with Chim ray Dkay when he

89
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:33,160
Speaker 3: ran that return back for a touchdown.

90
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 4: I mean everyone exploded.

91
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 3: I was pretty excited, like you were excited. So the

92
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,839
Speaker 3: voice in my head's freaking out. The people around me

93
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:46,279
Speaker 3: are freaking out. And I talked about it on the broadcast,

94
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:51,160
Speaker 3: but it is worth mentioning again. Bones Fossil and Mike

95
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:57,279
Speaker 3: McCoy run at each other and jump up and chest bump.

96
00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,840
Speaker 4: In the middle of just the air in front of

97
00:04:59,880 --> 00:05:01,359
Speaker 4: mem and it.

98
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:04,840
Speaker 3: Was it was just genuine joy and excitement for a

99
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 3: guy and for a group that doesn't get a lot

100
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 3: of joy and excitement. I mean, people don't cheer about

101
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 3: special teams like that a lot.

102
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:17,720
Speaker 5: And so to to see that celebration and the vertical

103
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 5: by the Titans' coaching staff, I mean, my goodness, the athleticism.

104
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 2: Bones, I mean, they've got some ups like he definitely does.

105
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:30,920
Speaker 4: It was pretty impressive. But really it's just those moments

106
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:32,480
Speaker 4: are the moments that we live for.

107
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:37,040
Speaker 3: And I wish that every Titans fan individually could stand

108
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 3: where I'm standing, like just once to feel that, because

109
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:45,480
Speaker 3: it's so much easier to love a team when you

110
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 3: get to have those moments and you feel the genuine

111
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:49,839
Speaker 3: joy that they feel.

112
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 6: Now.

113
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:52,919
Speaker 3: I wouldn't suggest watching the entire game from where I

114
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:56,279
Speaker 3: stand because you can't see anything so like, but like

115
00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 3: to be there for a minute would be cool.

116
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 1: It's funny you mentioned Cody Barton and how fired up

117
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:04,599
Speaker 1: he was and how much everyone loves being around him.

118
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:07,359
Speaker 1: He is just he's a bucket filler of a person.

119
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 2: Yes, he is. He just has a great attitude. He

120
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:12,039
Speaker 2: loves football.

121
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:15,279
Speaker 1: You can understand why he quickly became a captain in

122
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 1: his first season with the Titans. After the game, I

123
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:20,920
Speaker 1: was in the locker room and he said, hey, can

124
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:24,720
Speaker 1: I hear your call of the And I was like yeah,

125
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 1: and played it for him and he was excited. He

126
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:29,600
Speaker 1: was like, man, I almost had another in.

127
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 2: The third quarter.

128
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 1: He said, I absolutely knew the play and I knew

129
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:38,919
Speaker 1: what Herbert was going to do. And he's ready to

130
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:42,040
Speaker 1: step in front of him again, and he his eyes

131
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 1: get real big and he's like, this is going to

132
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 1: happen again, and he to and Andre Sweat deflected the

133
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 1: Herbert pass, which prevented Barton from picking it off the sort.

134
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 1: He's like, that's great, to and Andre, you did exactly what.

135
00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 2: You're supposed to do, but you really yeah, instead.

136
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 1: Of an incomplete pass, which is what it was, it

137
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 1: would have been another pick six. But Cody is he

138
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 1: really is. He's just an incredible teammate. And you know

139
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 1: what you just said about those two coaches and what

140
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 1: the sideline was like really is an example of how

141
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 1: connected this team still is. And it's hard to do

142
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 1: when you're one and eight. That's really hard to have

143
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 1: a locker room filled with guys that still are so connected.

144
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 1: Another thing that you reported during the game is another

145
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:33,680
Speaker 1: example of how connected the team still is, and that

146
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 1: is it's best player who's been out for a couple

147
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 1: of weeks with an injury is acting as if he's

148
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 1: a coach on the sidelines because of how connected he

149
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 1: still is to the team and his unit played their

150
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 1: brains out on Sunday. I'm talking about Jeffrey Simmons. The

151
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 1: guys that line up right behind Jeffrey, Draymont Jones and

152
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 1: jahad Ward lived in the backfield. They both had more

153
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 1: than five quarterback pressures. They both had sacks in the game.

154
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:08,760
Speaker 1: Tovandre Sweat and James Lynch and Sebastian Joseph Day on

155
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 1: the defensive line, we're outstanding in this game. But that

156
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 1: says a lot about Jeffrey Simmons that that guy is

157
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 1: acting as an extra defensive line coach while he's out

158
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 1: of the lineup.

159
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:20,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's got the headset in like he's listening in

160
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 3: the little radio and he's anytime he sees something on

161
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 3: the field, he goes straight over to those guys and

162
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 3: starts telling him what to do. He's like getting down

163
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 3: and trying to help them through technique things, trying to

164
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 3: help them through what he's seeing, how they should approach things,

165
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 3: how he would approach it, what they're doing. I mean,

166
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 3: he's just such a helpful extra set of eyes down

167
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 3: there on the sidelines for a group of guys that,

168
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:48,320
Speaker 3: I mean, other than Sebastian Joseph Day is either pretty

169
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:54,319
Speaker 3: young or pretty new to this Titans team still, so it's.

170
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:56,080
Speaker 4: Incredibly helpful to have him there.

171
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 3: He is such a I mean, he's just so passionate

172
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 3: about the game, Like you can tell he wants to

173
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 3: be out there playing and contributing, and that's leadership, Like

174
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:08,640
Speaker 3: that's exactly what you want a guy like that, And

175
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 3: I just feel so fortunate that he is a part

176
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 3: of this team and that he's so willing to even

177
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:18,080
Speaker 3: though he can't be out there doing what he wants

178
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 3: to be doing, he's willing to take the time to

179
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 3: pour into those other guys and make sure that they

180
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:27,560
Speaker 3: are doing everything they possibly can to get that win.

181
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 1: Amy, we will talk about some things to improve on.

182
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 1: I know that coach McCoy wants to talk about the

183
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 1: short yarded situations near the goal line trying to get

184
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 1: a first down. I know he wants to talk about

185
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 1: scoring more points offensively. We will get to that with

186
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:44,840
Speaker 1: coach McCoy coming up here in just a few minutes.

187
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 1: But first, the Pinnacle moment of the game. I got

188
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:54,480
Speaker 1: pretty excited, maybe too maybe too excited, no.

189
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:55,440
Speaker 4: Normal amount of excitement.

190
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:56,080
Speaker 2: Okay, it's good.

00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:07,160
Speaker 1: dot com. Member fdiic Amy, what's what's it like to

194
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 1: be around an NFL team during a bye week?

195
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:12,040
Speaker 4: It's great because you're not I mean you're not.

196
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 2: You're not around an NFL team.

197
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 4: Everybody's gone. No, that was dramatic.

198
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:22,200
Speaker 3: Really, it's it's the rest time that everybody thinks it is.

199
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 3: It's a time for everybody to get away, clear their heads,

200
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 3: get the treatment they need, rest, recover, and then start fresh.

201
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:33,320
Speaker 4: When you come back Sea.

202
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 2: And it's as much a mental reset.

203
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:37,960
Speaker 3: So I joke a lot about this is the time

204
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 3: that I take naps, and I don't think I'm alone

205
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:42,960
Speaker 3: in that. I think a lot of people take naps

206
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 3: during bye weeks because that's really just a time to

207
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:51,800
Speaker 3: exhale for a second. So much of this the football

208
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:55,199
Speaker 3: season as a whole, is just the same, the same,

209
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:58,720
Speaker 3: the same, over and over again, which is great. It's routine,

210
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 3: it's regimented, it's perfect for just the cadence of an

211
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:06,959
Speaker 3: NFL season. But it's exhausting, it's grueling, and for these guys, it's.

212
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 4: Really hard on their bodies.

213
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 3: So to take the time recover from injury mentally take

214
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:17,160
Speaker 3: a break, really shut down, and also kind of maybe

215
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:19,720
Speaker 3: do a quick little self scout. Where am I, where

216
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:21,560
Speaker 3: do I want to be, what do I need to

217
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:23,959
Speaker 3: improve in the second half of this season. This is

218
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 3: a good midpoint, by which is really nice. A lot

219
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 3: of teams are not fortunate to get bye weeks at

220
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 3: this point in the season like we did, so like

221
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:37,200
Speaker 3: it's a good point to kind of reassess, regroup, and

222
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 3: then continue on through the second half of the season,

223
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 3: and we'll see if maybe having this minute to kind

224
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 3: of reset is what this Titans team really needs and

225
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:49,520
Speaker 3: then they can finish the season strong.

226
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, and with those three home games coming up after

227
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:55,719
Speaker 1: that here at Nissan Stadium in Nashville, I know that's

228
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 1: something that everyone is really excited about. So and so

229
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 1: am I I know as you are too, and hopefully

230
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 1: some more pieces coming back to the Titans for those games.

231
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 1: Houston Texans will be in Nashville on November the sixteenth,

232
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:12,079
Speaker 1: and then the Seattle Seahawks are here and the Sunday

233
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:17,040
Speaker 1: before Thanksgiving, the Jacksonville Jaguars are here the Sunday after Thanksgiving,

234
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:19,840
Speaker 1: and then will Bowling gets to wear three layers on

235
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 1: the Pinnacle sidelines in Cleveland, Ohio, the first Sunday in December.

236
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:27,440
Speaker 3: Oh, he's gonna need more than three layers. Bundle up, Willie,

237
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 3: it's giv be chilly.

238
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 2: He will not be showing his knees.

239
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:31,959
Speaker 4: No, he will not be showing his knees.

240
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:35,440
Speaker 3: Those knees will be fully covered because he's gonna be chilly.

283

Speaker 1: Coach, you play this game to win the game, so

284
00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 1: I'm sure there is some frustration that the Chargers won

285
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 1: it twenty seven to twenty. Do you get encouragement as

286
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:50,040
Speaker 1: you reflect back on this game with the way that

287
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:51,080
Speaker 1: your team competed.

288
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:54,280
Speaker 7: Well, yeah, there's a number of things that they did well,

289
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:56,760
Speaker 7: but it's about winning and we got to find a

290
00:14:56,800 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 7: way to make the place the appropriate a time when

291
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:03,200
Speaker 7: they present themselves and go out and win the game.

292
00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:05,360
Speaker 7: So it is there's a lot of good in it

293
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:07,640
Speaker 7: when you look at games. That's every game you look at,

294
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:09,240
Speaker 7: you say, hey, there's a lot of good things you did,

295
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 7: but there's other things that there's a reason why you're

296
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 7: not winning those games. And that's the one thing as

297
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:16,160
Speaker 7: coaches we got to you always sit down on Mondays

298
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 7: and talk to the players about, hey, this is the

299
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 7: difference between winning and losing.

300
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:22,960
Speaker 1: And if you look at specific plays, I'm sure those

301
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 1: plays around the goal line would probably be the first

302
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:28,720
Speaker 1: ones you would look at as your offense had a

303
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 1: chance to cash it in and score a touchdown. There

304
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:33,440
Speaker 1: is that is that kind of first in your mind

305
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:35,080
Speaker 1: when you think of those plays in the game.

306
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:37,520
Speaker 7: No doubt, you know, you go in there, you get

307
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:40,200
Speaker 7: the lead, you score a touchdown on either one of

308
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:42,400
Speaker 7: those two plays you think you're going to score on,

309
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:44,840
Speaker 7: you don't, and then next thing you know, it goes

310
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 7: the other direction and they score. So it's a tough

311
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:50,400
Speaker 7: turnaround to look at, but that that's what that's what

312
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:51,360
Speaker 7: you got to do to win games.

313
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:52,400
Speaker 6: You have to score there.

314
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:54,760
Speaker 7: You're on the one yard line, you're running the ball

315
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 7: down there, but we got to find a way to

316
00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:57,040
Speaker 7: get in the end zone.

317
00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:01,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I know that as you scrutinize that for

318
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:04,400
Speaker 1: your own self, for your coaching staff, and with your players.

319
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:07,240
Speaker 1: Those are the plays throughout your career that have kept

320
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:09,600
Speaker 1: you up right. There have been plenty of them that

321
00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:10,880
Speaker 1: have gone your way too, though.

322
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:11,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not gonna lie.

323
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 7: I woke up at four o'clock this morning thinking God,

324
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:16,120
Speaker 7: what could have we done different at some point in

325
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:16,920
Speaker 7: time during the game.

326
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 6: And that's what you do as a coach.

327
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:20,680
Speaker 7: You think about all those things and you spend all

328
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:23,520
Speaker 7: that time game planning and not obviously not everything always

329
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:25,440
Speaker 7: works out exactly the way you want it to. But

330
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:28,440
Speaker 7: it's that's coaching and that's playing, and you're trying to

331
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:30,560
Speaker 7: do everything you possibly can to help these players win.

332
00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 1: But I will tell you that I left the stadium

333
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 1: and thought to myself, man, we are close, and this

334
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:40,960
Speaker 1: team is showing real progress. In your first couple of

335
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:43,880
Speaker 1: weeks as the head coach. This is a team that

336
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:47,120
Speaker 1: is fighting like equally in the game for thirty minutes,

337
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:49,720
Speaker 1: just couldn't turn it into sixty This past weekend, I

338
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:52,320
Speaker 1: felt leaving the stadium you did. Your team turned that

339
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:55,400
Speaker 1: into a sixty minute competition, and the next step is

340
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:58,480
Speaker 1: winning the football game. I felt that way because of

341
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:00,840
Speaker 1: the non offensive touchdowns that you got in the game,

342
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 1: and I felt that way because of the pressure your

343
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:06,959
Speaker 1: defense constantly gave a really good Chargers offense.

344
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:10,160
Speaker 7: Yeah, that was great to see the defensive pressure. Give

345
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 7: Dinnard and the defensive staff and the players a lot

346
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:14,720
Speaker 7: of credit for the way they got after the quarterback.

347
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:17,639
Speaker 7: That was a big thing going into it. You know,

348
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:20,199
Speaker 7: Justin's a phenomenal quarterback. You know, he's one of the

349
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:22,160
Speaker 7: best in the business the way he gets back there.

350
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:24,000
Speaker 7: But we made it very uncomfortable for him the way

351
00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:26,639
Speaker 7: guys got after him, which is great to see. Just

352
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:28,400
Speaker 7: the number of sacks you have, the number of times

353
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 7: you get after him, that's what it's all about. So

354
00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:33,920
Speaker 7: we've got to build defensively off of that. You know,

355
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:34,640
Speaker 7: the success we.

356
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:38,679
Speaker 1: Had specifically about the pressure, was it more around the

357
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:41,480
Speaker 1: edge pressure that the Titans were getting on the Chargers

358
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:44,320
Speaker 1: or is it was an interior pressure they were getting

359
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:46,440
Speaker 1: because to me, it looked like it didn't matter where

360
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:47,040
Speaker 1: it came from.

361
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:49,240
Speaker 7: Well, I think that's that's what the good teams do,

362
00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:52,120
Speaker 7: is they rush the quarterback. Whether you're pushing from the inside,

363
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:54,920
Speaker 7: there's only so many places a quarterback could go. Maybe

364
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 7: it's a pressure to one side and it forces the

365
00:17:57,119 --> 00:17:59,080
Speaker 7: quarterback to the other side. So I just think if

366
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:01,240
Speaker 7: you look at it throughout the game, we were getting

367
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:02,960
Speaker 7: after them and in a number of different ways, and

368
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:05,240
Speaker 7: I think that's what good teams do. And it wasn't

369
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:06,959
Speaker 7: just one guy. There's a number of people that were

370
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:09,639
Speaker 7: making pressures. And then you know to to go, you know,

371
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:11,720
Speaker 7: to kind of compliment that you have to have good

372
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:14,000
Speaker 7: coverage in the back end because there's certain times where

373
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:15,760
Speaker 7: he's gonna hold the little ball a little bit longer,

374
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:18,359
Speaker 7: or if there's a pressure and you're too soft, he

375
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:20,080
Speaker 7: spits the ball out it's out of his hand. So

376
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 7: you know, give the back end some credit on some

377
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:22,640
Speaker 7: of those pressures too.

378
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:25,880
Speaker 1: Cody Barton had the pick six to start the game

379
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:29,399
Speaker 1: and Nissan Stadium was rocking because of it. That's his

380
00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:30,840
Speaker 1: third interception of the season.

381
00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 7: That's what the game's all about. You love when the

382
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:37,359
Speaker 7: players go out there and energize the fans. That's what

383
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:39,680
Speaker 7: the fans want to see. So what a great play

384
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 7: by him. Just recognize the pattern, recognition of what they're doing,

385
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:45,840
Speaker 7: how they're going to do it, and thrown right to them.

386
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:46,199
Speaker 2: You know.

387
00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:49,520
Speaker 7: Unfortunately, later in the game, you know, there was a

388
00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:51,720
Speaker 7: ball that was tipped that he might have had the

389
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:54,359
Speaker 7: same result. Yeah, and it probably hit him right in

390
00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:57,160
Speaker 7: the chest. And the ball was tipped the line scrimmage,

391
00:18:57,160 --> 00:19:00,119
Speaker 7: which we're fine with because it's an incomplete pass. But

392
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:01,920
Speaker 7: you know, he was ready for another one.

393
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:03,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, Amy and I were just talking about that in

394
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:06,600
Speaker 1: the previous segment. I was with Cody in the locker

395
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:09,880
Speaker 1: room afterwards, and he was like, Tavandre did his job there,

396
00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:11,720
Speaker 1: but He's like, gosh, that was gonna hit me in

397
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:14,240
Speaker 1: the chest again, and he thought he might have had

398
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:18,439
Speaker 1: a second one there. Who else should be singled out coach? Defensively?

399
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 1: I mean Draymont Jones and Johad Warder in the backfield,

400
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:24,000
Speaker 1: a bunch, Cedric Gray sixteen more tackles.

401
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:26,120
Speaker 7: Yeah, there's so many good things. I wouldn't just say

402
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:28,320
Speaker 7: one person. I mean the amount of pressure we got

403
00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:31,360
Speaker 7: that that's the whole entire group. But I think both

404
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 7: Cody and said the way they played the running game

405
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:36,879
Speaker 7: too downhill, going at him and you know, being physical,

406
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 7: and that's what we need from those two guys. So

407
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:41,479
Speaker 7: it was a great game by those two guys, and

408
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:43,200
Speaker 7: obviously the past rous outstanding.

409
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:44,640
Speaker 2: You can't ask for anything.

410
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 1: More upfront, and then and then in special teams, jim

411
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:52,360
Speaker 1: Rie dque does it again. Now in my call, I

412
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:54,359
Speaker 1: at the end of my call, I said there are

413
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:58,480
Speaker 1: no flags on the field, and some listeners I think

414
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:01,760
Speaker 1: understood why I said that because I have called another

415
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:05,639
Speaker 1: jim dk punt in return for a touchdown and it

416
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 1: was not allowed as there was a flag that was

417
00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:11,280
Speaker 1: thrown on the field and I'm not still sure about it,

418
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:15,240
Speaker 1: but nevertheless, penalty, that's that's part of the game. There

419
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:17,119
Speaker 1: were no flags on this one. This guy gives you

420
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:18,679
Speaker 1: a chance every time he touches the football.

421
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:20,800
Speaker 7: Yeah, the great thing about his bones and stew all

422
00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:23,800
Speaker 7: week long told everyone, you know, we go on the Wednesdays,

423
00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:25,480
Speaker 7: you talk about the keys to victory and you do

424
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:27,280
Speaker 7: talk to the team about what we need to do,

425
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:29,600
Speaker 7: and we talked about it, if we just take care

426
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:32,480
Speaker 7: of these certain players and you know, he gets one

427
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 7: guy to miss. If he makes a miss, what's going

428
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 7: to happen. And that's exactly what he did. And you

429
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:40,360
Speaker 7: just see the little technique of everybody of all eleven

430
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:43,320
Speaker 7: doing their job the right way, whether it was at

431
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:45,720
Speaker 7: the line of scrimmage, whether it was downfield whereas as

432
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:49,320
Speaker 7: he's running. You know, it's it's just it was execute.

433
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:50,919
Speaker 7: It comes down to execution, and they all did a

434
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:54,560
Speaker 7: phenomenal job. So I couldn't be happier for Jim just

435
00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:58,280
Speaker 7: the way he works and uh, he just he loves

436
00:20:58,280 --> 00:20:58,640
Speaker 7: the game.

437
00:20:58,680 --> 00:20:59,760
Speaker 2: He loves being out there.

438
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:01,800
Speaker 7: And he said something to me this morning about his

439
00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:03,560
Speaker 7: blocking in the run game that he was it's just

440
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:06,760
Speaker 7: like listen, Bud, just you play so hard, you play

441
00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 7: the way we want you to play, and there's a

442
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:10,480
Speaker 7: reason why you're having success.

443
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:12,440
Speaker 2: That guy just loves football.

444
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:14,439
Speaker 7: Well the really you know, I mean, we've got a

445
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:16,239
Speaker 7: great team here. And when I when I say that,

446
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:18,600
Speaker 7: is that the way these guys work. And I told

447
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:20,280
Speaker 7: them that in the team meaning is that you know,

448
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:23,399
Speaker 7: we they work extremely hard during the work week, you know,

449
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:26,160
Speaker 7: Monday through all leading up to the game and everything,

450
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:28,560
Speaker 7: and then you see the plays that these guys make

451
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:30,680
Speaker 7: on game day. We just got to make more of them.

452
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:34,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, So it is a just it's it's a there

453
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:37,399
Speaker 1: is a real strength and connection with this team that

454
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:39,920
Speaker 1: you have. There's no question about that, and I think

455
00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:43,919
Speaker 1: that's why everyone wants to see them succeed. Amy was

456
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:47,840
Speaker 1: referencing just how connected Jeffrey Simmons was throughout the game

457
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 1: on the sideline, watching the game, trying to help.

458
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:53,119
Speaker 7: Yeah, when you just started talking about this, I'm like,

459
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:56,800
Speaker 7: that's the guy I would say. You just see you know,

460
00:21:57,160 --> 00:21:59,840
Speaker 7: he's dying to be out there. You know, he works

461
00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:01,800
Speaker 7: so hard to the training room trying to get back.

462
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:04,719
Speaker 7: But then as you watch the game, doesn't matter what

463
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:06,959
Speaker 7: phase it is, and you see the sideline. You look

464
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:09,520
Speaker 7: at the sideline and here's big Jeff running up down

465
00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:12,239
Speaker 7: the sideline doing things, compmenting guys when they're coming off

466
00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:14,920
Speaker 7: the field, talking to the younger players, trying to help

467
00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:19,440
Speaker 7: everybody out. And that's just you know what he means

468
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:23,200
Speaker 7: to this franchise, and he just he does so much

469
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:27,919
Speaker 7: and his leadership, you know, having played against him the

470
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:30,239
Speaker 7: last three years, knowing what kind of player he is,

471
00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:32,320
Speaker 7: I mean, it's a nightmare of trying to game plan

472
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:35,240
Speaker 7: against him the three years I was in Jacksonville, but

473
00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:38,720
Speaker 7: then getting here and seeing how he's taken over the team,

474
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:41,360
Speaker 7: you know, since we got into training camp and his

475
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:44,560
Speaker 7: leadership and then being out seeing the way he is

476
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:46,720
Speaker 7: with the team, it's unbelievable.

477
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 2: I love hearing that.

478
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:54,240
Speaker 1: Offensively, it doesn't feel like you have a consistent execution issue.

479
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:58,800
Speaker 1: It feels like there's just a play once you have

480
00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:03,080
Speaker 1: started to and you've gotten some momentum maybe into the

481
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:05,480
Speaker 1: opponent's territory, that sets you back.

482
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:06,240
Speaker 2: Is that accurate?

483
00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:09,840
Speaker 7: Well, unfortunately this week we had more penalties than we've

484
00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:11,439
Speaker 7: had in the last two weeks. I think it was

485
00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:14,119
Speaker 7: we had three of each the New England game and

486
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:17,439
Speaker 7: Indie game total, and what do we have seven the

487
00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:19,800
Speaker 7: other day or early in the game. So it's like,

488
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:21,960
Speaker 7: you know, we got to avoid that, and you know

489
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:24,240
Speaker 7: when you get in, you cross that fifty and you

490
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:27,640
Speaker 7: start getting in, especially with our kicker. Is you get

491
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:29,399
Speaker 7: to a certain point if we just get a little

492
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:31,760
Speaker 7: you know, whether it's a long field goal or it's

493
00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:35,080
Speaker 7: avoiding being in third or second and long, so it's

494
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:38,640
Speaker 7: you have a higher percentage, a better chance of converting

495
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:41,960
Speaker 7: things on third and short to medium and not put

496
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:45,200
Speaker 7: yourself in a third and long situation. So we got

497
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:47,600
Speaker 7: to do a better job of eliminating the little mistakes

498
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:49,600
Speaker 7: so we could stay heading down to this because it's

499
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:50,960
Speaker 7: it's not easy to convert in.

500
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:53,240
Speaker 2: Third downs in this league. The longer it is, the

501
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:53,800
Speaker 2: harder it is.

502
00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:56,040
Speaker 7: So we got to do a better job of eliminating

503
00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:59,080
Speaker 7: the self inflicted wounds we've had and just be more

504
00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:01,200
Speaker 7: consistent throughout sixty minutes of a game.

505
00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:03,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, the third and longs is what you want to

506
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:06,359
Speaker 1: stay away from because those are obvious passing situations and

507
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:08,480
Speaker 1: you know the defense is going to bring pressure, and

508
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:12,760
Speaker 1: you want those that are easier to convert. Certainly, what

509
00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:16,320
Speaker 1: did you think of the way that Taja Spears played

510
00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:18,720
Speaker 1: in this game, Coach, He kind of served as a

511
00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:22,359
Speaker 1: safety valve there for cam Ward and the offense, not

512
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:24,399
Speaker 1: just running the ball, but especially catching it out of

513
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:24,920
Speaker 1: the backfield.

514
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:25,160
Speaker 6: Yeah.

515
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:26,680
Speaker 7: You know, if you look back at all the games

516
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:29,359
Speaker 7: this year, when we've gotten the ball, not just a

517
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 7: tase but all of our skilled players, you know, on

518
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:34,080
Speaker 7: the checkdowns, more often than not, they're going to make

519
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:36,520
Speaker 7: that first guy miss. There's been a number of them

520
00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:38,640
Speaker 7: you watch weekend and week out. When you get the ball,

521
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:41,760
Speaker 7: you think it's a completion on a checkdown five yards

522
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:43,440
Speaker 7: down the field, and all of a sudden they get going.

523
00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:45,080
Speaker 7: They scored out of there. It's a ten plus game.

524
00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:47,920
Speaker 7: It's an explosive play. Somehow we got to do more

525
00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:48,240
Speaker 7: of that.

526
00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:49,119
Speaker 2: Now.

527
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 1: You have to buy and I know it's so important

528
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:55,200
Speaker 1: for the team to have a mental and physical reset

529
00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:58,440
Speaker 1: during this time. But as I said earlier, you can

530
00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:01,600
Speaker 1: see progress on the field each week in these last

531
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:03,879
Speaker 1: few weeks. How do you maintain that progress so you

532
00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:04,920
Speaker 1: can turn it into a win.

533
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:06,920
Speaker 7: Well, I think number one of the players have got to

534
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:09,240
Speaker 7: get away, you know, get away, take a deep breath

535
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:13,359
Speaker 7: and just understand. Like I mentioned to the rookies, is

536
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:16,840
Speaker 7: that you know, normally right now, you're you're twelve weeks in,

537
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:18,760
Speaker 7: your season's over. You might some guys are going to

538
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:21,600
Speaker 7: bowl games, and depending on where you're playing, this and that, right,

539
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:25,560
Speaker 7: but it's just coming back Monday with the right mindset

540
00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:28,040
Speaker 7: of what we need to do moving forward, getting ready

541
00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:31,359
Speaker 7: for Houston, and just everybody really trying to find a

542
00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:33,760
Speaker 7: way because there's so many positives. When you look at things,

543
00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:35,840
Speaker 7: you know, there's give and take to every game. There's

544
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:37,600
Speaker 7: good in bad regards with the score. As you look

545
00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:39,359
Speaker 7: bad at you say, hey, there's these great plays, there's

546
00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:41,960
Speaker 7: the plays. You got to do better. You're going to

547
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:45,959
Speaker 7: improve certain things. It's like, okay, how do we each individually, coaches, players,

548
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:48,280
Speaker 7: everyone in the organization. How do we get a little better?

549
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:50,600
Speaker 7: How do we eliminate a few of the mistakes that

550
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:53,199
Speaker 7: we've made in the first, you know, part of the

551
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:56,960
Speaker 7: season and just contin build off the positives. Okay, learn

552
00:25:57,000 --> 00:26:01,160
Speaker 7: from the negatives. Okay, minimize the negatives, have more positives.

553
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:03,840
Speaker 7: You know, when the plays, but don't chase plays. But

554
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:05,880
Speaker 7: when the plays are there, we got to be more

555
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:09,119
Speaker 7: consistently make the play that's there. And then you know,

556
00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:10,720
Speaker 7: we got we gotta score more and that lead to

557
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:12,280
Speaker 7: us scoring more points on offense.

558
00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:16,160
Speaker 1: Now, are you the kind of person while your daughter

559
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:17,840
Speaker 1: comes to town with her new dog?

560
00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:18,399
Speaker 2: I believe?

561
00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:22,160
Speaker 1: Are you the kind of person that can't always escape

562
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:24,160
Speaker 1: it and you're gonna for five or ten minutes?

563
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:25,480
Speaker 2: Oh man, I just thought of something.

564
00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:27,160
Speaker 1: I got to write this down, or I gotta text

565
00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:29,320
Speaker 1: one of our assistant coaches. I got a text, Nick,

566
00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:31,360
Speaker 1: I just thought of this. Are you that kind of guy?

567
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:33,520
Speaker 1: Or do you completely disconnect?

568
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:35,639
Speaker 2: Are you gonna ask? Are you asking me? Or my wife?

569
00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:40,200
Speaker 7: My wife would say I never completely disconnect from all

570
00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:42,200
Speaker 7: the football stuff. You know, you wake up at four

571
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:45,120
Speaker 7: o'clock in the morning and you write things down. Yeah,

572
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:48,280
Speaker 7: all these types of things. So you know, I will

573
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:52,639
Speaker 7: disconnect to a certain extent and get away from it,

574
00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:56,280
Speaker 7: but there always will be things that come up, I'm sure,

575
00:26:56,960 --> 00:27:00,280
Speaker 7: or someone will be calling me about something that's come up, this, that,

576
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:03,040
Speaker 7: and that's just all part of it. I'll think of things,

577
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:05,520
Speaker 7: you know, I'll watch a little Houston tape I'm sure

578
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:07,359
Speaker 7: at some point in time and just kind of do

579
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:09,960
Speaker 7: some things, and you know, I'll spend the next couple

580
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:12,120
Speaker 7: of days kind of evaluate what we're doing here right

581
00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:14,680
Speaker 7: now and you know, in all three phases, and kind

582
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:16,119
Speaker 7: of think what we need to do moving forward.

583
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:18,280
Speaker 2: Everett Geerling's with a shout out.

584
00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:20,119
Speaker 1: I love that he does a great job with our

585

Speaker 2: And I know the John.

587
00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:24,760
Speaker 1: I know you have an army of people around you

588
00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:28,800
Speaker 1: that are so well connected, coach, and I know close

589
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:32,119
Speaker 1: doesn't matter, but it does feel like your team is

590
00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:35,160
Speaker 1: awfully close, which hopefully does matter for the future.

591
00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:37,840
Speaker 7: Yeah, we've just got to We've got to play sixty

592
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:41,400
Speaker 7: minutes of compmentary football, and we're always going to say

593
00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:45,320
Speaker 7: that there's always going to be room for improvement. We've

594
00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:47,560
Speaker 7: got to find a way to win the next one.

595
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:50,000
Speaker 7: That's the most important thing. But I really want these

596
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:52,560
Speaker 7: players to get away from it until next Monday. I mean,

597
00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:55,240
Speaker 7: they come back with the right mindset of say, let's

598
00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:56,880
Speaker 7: figure this out together. We're all in this together, We're

599
00:27:56,880 --> 00:27:58,920
Speaker 7: gonna hold each other accountable, and let's go.

Speaker 8: I thought that was really funny. I was a good

626
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:28,720
Speaker 8: find on your part.

627
00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:32,160
Speaker 2: Yes, good writer for the ESPN We love TD good guy.

628
00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:35,400
Speaker 1: And yes, if you watch like those videos on ESPN

629
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:37,880
Speaker 1: dot com that always has a close caption at the bottom,

630
00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:40,520
Speaker 1: and it did say it corrected from Jim DK to

631
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:42,160
Speaker 1: Jim DK, and we got.

632
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:43,120
Speaker 2: A big kick out of that.

633
00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:46,800
Speaker 1: I tell you, we do have people in the in

634
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:50,800
Speaker 1: the facility like Jack Mummert, who is producing this segment

635
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:53,480
Speaker 1: that dressed up as coach Mack last week.

636
00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:54,520
Speaker 6: A great job too.

637
00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:56,280
Speaker 2: We have a guy named Todd that works here that

638
00:29:56,360 --> 00:29:57,040
Speaker 2: dressed up is me.

639
00:29:57,480 --> 00:29:58,880
Speaker 6: That was very well done.

640
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:01,720
Speaker 2: It was he was my doppelganger for sure.

641
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:06,840
Speaker 1: But Chim Dka would be a great Titan to try

642
00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:07,400
Speaker 1: to emulate.

643
00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:09,520
Speaker 2: Right now. What a start to his career.

644
00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:11,440
Speaker 6: Yeah, he's just fearless, you know.

645
00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:15,160
Speaker 8: I think everyone you know saw early on what he

646
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:17,320
Speaker 8: could do as a returner, and then he showed off

647
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:18,640
Speaker 8: as a receiver as well.

648
00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:21,600
Speaker 6: He's fearless. He hits the hole.

649
00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:26,080
Speaker 8: He he not afraid to go across the middle. I

650
00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:28,719
Speaker 8: remember when the decision was made to begin the season

651
00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:32,080
Speaker 8: to make him the punt returner. There were some people

652
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:34,720
Speaker 8: who were nervous about that as a rookie, giving him

653
00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:37,680
Speaker 8: that job going into Denver week one, and he's proven

654
00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:39,800
Speaker 8: he's capable of doing it. And I think if you're

655
00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:43,120
Speaker 8: looking for reasons to be optimistic about a one in

656
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:46,440
Speaker 8: eight team, you look for guy. You look at guys

657
00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:49,920
Speaker 8: like Jim ray Dkay and say, you know, the guy's

658
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:53,080
Speaker 8: making some decisions on personnel or the draft, or know

659
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:54,360
Speaker 8: how to identify talent.

660
00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:55,440
Speaker 2: Jim.

661
00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:58,920
Speaker 1: Who's the best kick returner and or punt returner in

662
00:30:59,000 --> 00:30:59,840
Speaker 1: Titan's history.

663
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:00,920
Speaker 6: I think Derek Mason.

664
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:02,720
Speaker 8: You know, he earned a Pro Bowl spot for doing

665
00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:05,800
Speaker 8: it during the two thousand season and and certainly had

666
00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:10,800
Speaker 8: a huge return in Jacksonville during the during a very

667
00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:14,160
Speaker 8: memorable playoff game. I think I think Derek Mason is

668
00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:18,160
Speaker 8: is the best. I think Mark Maryanni certainly has to

669
00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:20,200
Speaker 8: be right up there to another guy that earned a

670
00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:22,640
Speaker 8: Pro Bowl Pro Bowl spot doing it. And I think

671
00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:26,400
Speaker 8: in time Dk may proved that he deserves to be

672
00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:31,040
Speaker 8: mentioned with those guys, but Mason and and and Maryannie

673
00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:31,800
Speaker 8: have to be one.

674
00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:32,080
Speaker 6: Two.

675
00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:36,440
Speaker 1: What do you think of elk Io Manor Through nine games,

676
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:38,720
Speaker 1: he's called at least two balls in every game he's

677
00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:39,560
Speaker 1: played in the NFL.

678
00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:42,120
Speaker 8: Yeah, I think I think he has had a little

679
00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:45,360
Speaker 8: bit more ups and downs. I think than Chim. Chim

680
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:48,320
Speaker 8: has just been consistent from beginning. I think Elek Shozl

681
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:50,800
Speaker 8: what he's capable of, Like, he's big, he's you know,

682
00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:54,360
Speaker 8: he's physical. I think he's smart. I think it means

683
00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:58,240
Speaker 8: a lot to him. I think, uh, he's been on

684
00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:00,600
Speaker 8: a little bit of a roller Coaster dropped a ball

685
00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:03,080
Speaker 8: on Sunday that I'm sure he'd like to have back.

686
00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:05,280
Speaker 8: But he's another one that I think it's great that

687
00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:08,240
Speaker 8: he's playing early. Nobody likes to lose. But when you're

688
00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:12,280
Speaker 8: saying rookies play knowing that's making them better for the future,

689
00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:14,120
Speaker 8: I think that's a good development.

690
00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:16,880
Speaker 1: Jim, I want to tell you how I felt when

691
00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:19,920
Speaker 1: I left the stadium on Sunday. I walked out of

692
00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:21,800
Speaker 1: there to my truck and I thought, you know what,

693
00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:25,280
Speaker 1: sixty minutes of competition. It's been a minute since the

694
00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:28,320
Speaker 1: Titans gave us that. They've given us thirty minutes a competition.

695
00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:32,160
Speaker 1: They've had good first halfs, competitive first halfs in the

696
00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:35,320
Speaker 1: last few weeks. They give us sixty minutes this past

697
00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:39,720
Speaker 1: week against a playoff caliber team, the Los Angeles Chargers,

698
00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:43,040
Speaker 1: and I thought, you know what, if Jeff Simmons can

699
00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:46,160
Speaker 1: come back after the bye against Houston, if Calvin Ridley

700
00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:50,800
Speaker 1: and Arden Key, maybe Bryce Oliver few other guys get

701
00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:53,800
Speaker 1: back and play for the Titans, like four big time

702
00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:56,840
Speaker 1: contributors are back for the Titans by the time they

703
00:32:56,920 --> 00:33:00,680
Speaker 1: played the Houston Texans. My thought was leaving the stadium

704
00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:03,400
Speaker 1: the Titans are gonna win some games. The Titans are

705
00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:06,160
Speaker 1: going to surprise some playoff teams in the back end

706
00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:08,240
Speaker 1: of the season. Is that a fair thing to think?

707
00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:09,040
Speaker 6: Yeah? I think so.

708
00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:11,360
Speaker 8: I mean those games, like you know, those games Sunday

709
00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:14,200
Speaker 8: like Sunday are though, are a lot tougher to take than

710
00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:16,920
Speaker 8: than some other ones that this team's played this year.

711
00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:19,720
Speaker 8: Like when you get handled by a couple of touchdowns,

712
00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:21,720
Speaker 8: you know, you leave and think we didn't really have

713
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:23,880
Speaker 8: a chance there. But when you lose a game twenty

714
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:26,760
Speaker 8: seven to twenty and you can't score twice from the

715
00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:29,240
Speaker 8: one yard line and you have to let the other

716
00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:31,040
Speaker 8: team turn around drive at the length of the field,

717
00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:32,880
Speaker 8: that changed the whole game. There were some other plays

718
00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:35,200
Speaker 8: in that game where if you make a play here

719
00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:37,720
Speaker 8: or there, the outcome might have been different. So you

720
00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:39,960
Speaker 8: end up kicking yourself for letting one get away. But

721
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:43,520
Speaker 8: I agree, I think I think getting players back and

722
00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:46,480
Speaker 8: healthy will allow this team to be competitive and a

723
00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:48,760
Speaker 8: lot of these games the second half of the season.

724
00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:53,600
Speaker 8: Maybe some of those guys could have played on Sunday

725
00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:55,600
Speaker 8: a bit close to it. But that's the thing about

726
00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:57,200
Speaker 8: the Bile week. When you get the bile week coming

727
00:33:57,280 --> 00:34:00,120
Speaker 8: up on the horizon. If you give a guy, he

728
00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:02,160
Speaker 8: could get two weeks out of it from they get healthy.

729
00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:04,720
Speaker 8: So I think a lot of guys are here trying

730
00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:07,479
Speaker 8: to get ready to go, and you'll see a lot

731
00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:09,280
Speaker 8: of those guys that have been missing back.

732
00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:13,920
Speaker 1: Okay, So there's hope, there's optimism ahead. You know, with

733
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:16,400
Speaker 1: those guys coming back that the Titans are going to

734
00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:19,440
Speaker 1: have some wins to come. But as you look at

735
00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:23,520
Speaker 1: the overall organization right now, with those rookies we just

736
00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:26,719
Speaker 1: talked about that Mike Borganzi, the general manager, drafted and

737
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:30,360
Speaker 1: that would include cam Ward Gunner, Helm, Kevin Winston, Famio

738
00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:33,320
Speaker 1: Ladejo who could come back at some point this season

739
00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:37,640
Speaker 1: as well, and another draft class that Mike Borganzi can

740
00:34:37,640 --> 00:34:41,239
Speaker 1: bring in this next season. With all this money they

741
00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:44,840
Speaker 1: have to spend, as they have the most money to

742
00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:49,440
Speaker 1: spend in the National Football League, I'm optimistic that with

743
00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:53,160
Speaker 1: all these young players that mister Borganzi and the personnel

744
00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:56,160
Speaker 1: department are evaluating, that the Titans are going to put

745
00:34:56,160 --> 00:34:58,080
Speaker 1: a good product on the field in years to come.

746
00:34:58,719 --> 00:34:59,640
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's the hope.

747
00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:03,200
Speaker 8: You know, you got to draft well year after year

748
00:35:03,239 --> 00:35:06,120
Speaker 8: after year, and I think this past year's draft class.

749
00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:10,160
Speaker 8: You know, but we've already talked about a couple of

750
00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:12,520
Speaker 8: inn Alio Manner and DK. I really like Gunner Helm.

751
00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:15,239
Speaker 8: I think Kevin Winston's going to be really good. I

752
00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:17,800
Speaker 8: think Fimi and Time is going to develop. Marcus here's

753
00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:21,120
Speaker 8: playing a lot. They've got some They've got some good

754
00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:23,640
Speaker 8: young players. Obviously, the quarterback's got to be good, and

755
00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:26,360
Speaker 8: that's that's the most important one from this past year's

756
00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:29,640
Speaker 8: draft class. Game's got to settle down, play better. He

757
00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:32,080
Speaker 8: played better on Sunday. They probably would have won that game.

758
00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:35,560
Speaker 8: Offense didn't do its job. But I do think that

759
00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:40,280
Speaker 8: Mike Braganzi and the personnel guys you know, have proven

760
00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:42,440
Speaker 8: that they know how to draft. I mean, again, it's

761
00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:43,960
Speaker 8: just one year. You got to do it year after

762
00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:49,320
Speaker 8: year after year. But you can keep getting young players

763
00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:55,200
Speaker 8: who buy into what you're preaching and are are what

764
00:35:55,239 --> 00:35:58,319
Speaker 8: you're about. And that's a foundation and that's something you

765
00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:01,480
Speaker 8: can build on. I know people are frustrated by the

766
00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:05,799
Speaker 8: trades and some of the departures we've seen. I'll be

767
00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:08,279
Speaker 8: completely honest with you. I didn't get the Brownly one,

768
00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:12,520
Speaker 8: but it's just a simple case of the people making

769
00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:15,080
Speaker 8: those decisions didn't love them as much as I did,

770
00:36:15,080 --> 00:36:19,040
Speaker 8: and maybe a lot of fans did. So you move

771
00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:21,879
Speaker 8: on from him and trying to do things different from

772
00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:25,040
Speaker 8: a culture standpoint. The Roger McCree when you moved up, No,

773
00:36:25,160 --> 00:36:27,319
Speaker 8: it was a swap of picks, that's what the value was.

774
00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:30,040
Speaker 8: But they moved up and got a good fifth round

775
00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:35,040
Speaker 8: pick in the process there, and until then they would

776
00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:36,960
Speaker 8: have had a long gap from the top of the

777
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:39,759
Speaker 8: fourth all the way until the sixth.

778
00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:40,239
Speaker 6: Round to pick.

779
00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:43,120
Speaker 8: That's like seventy five eighty players that you're going to

780
00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:44,960
Speaker 8: be sitting there and going off the board.

781
00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:47,400
Speaker 1: Look how good a job the Borgonzi and team did

782
00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:49,160
Speaker 1: in that part of the draft this past year.

783
00:36:49,200 --> 00:36:51,799
Speaker 8: Yeah, so you're back in play there and you got

784
00:36:51,840 --> 00:36:54,400
Speaker 8: amo to move up. So nobody likes to see McCree

785
00:36:54,719 --> 00:36:57,360
Speaker 8: leave now because he's a good player, but the reality

786
00:36:57,440 --> 00:36:59,440
Speaker 8: is he was not coming back. You're trying to do

787
00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:04,040
Speaker 8: everything can to help your draft class for twenty twenty six,

788
00:37:04,120 --> 00:37:06,160
Speaker 8: and we'll see what else transpires.

789
00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:07,520
Speaker 6: If anything else transpires.

790
00:37:07,719 --> 00:37:09,040
Speaker 2: Good stuff, Jim.

791
00:37:09,239 --> 00:37:12,319
Speaker 1: Now some of you may think, Okay, Taylor and Jim

792
00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:15,240
Speaker 1: have an off week this week. Titans aren't playing this weekend.

793
00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:19,040
Speaker 1: What are those guys gonna do? They're gonna skip town? No, sir,

794
00:37:20,160 --> 00:37:23,680
Speaker 1: Jim Wyatt and I will be at First Bank Stadium

795
00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:26,480
Speaker 1: used to be called Vanderbilt Stadium. It used to be

796
00:37:26,520 --> 00:37:29,759
Speaker 1: called Dudley Field. It's on the west side of Nashville

797
00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:32,400
Speaker 1: to watch the seven and two Vanderbilt Commodores take on

798
00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:33,280
Speaker 1: the Auburn Tigers.

799
00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:34,480
Speaker 2: Shameless plug.

800
00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:36,720
Speaker 1: You can watch it on SEC Network at three o'clock

801
00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:39,120
Speaker 1: and maybe I'll invite mister White up to the booth.

802
00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:42,479
Speaker 8: I'm on that side. I'm in section f ro fifty three.

803
00:37:42,520 --> 00:37:44,520
Speaker 8: I'm not that far away from the press box. I

804
00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:49,000
Speaker 8: saw my good friend Larry Leathers, former Vannerbilt. Yeah, he

805
00:37:49,040 --> 00:37:51,120
Speaker 8: came up to see me at the Vanda Missouri game.

806
00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:53,600
Speaker 8: And I think he's snuck in that side door there

807
00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:55,040
Speaker 8: on the press box. I don't know if that's an

808
00:37:55,080 --> 00:37:58,600
Speaker 8: easy access play still at the top of my section,

809
00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:00,960
Speaker 8: but I'll be there. We've got work to do a

810
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:03,359
Speaker 8: round here during the by a week. But then, you know,

811
00:38:04,040 --> 00:38:07,120
Speaker 8: as much as I'd love to see the beach sneak

812
00:38:07,160 --> 00:38:10,160
Speaker 8: down this thirty a, which I probably would have done

813
00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:12,360
Speaker 8: if not for a Vandy home game. I'm not gonna

814
00:38:13,239 --> 00:38:16,040
Speaker 8: leave Nashville and Vanbills playing a football game on the weekend.

815
00:38:16,080 --> 00:38:20,080
Speaker 8: I don't care whether it's twenty twenty five or twenty

816
00:38:20,239 --> 00:38:23,239
Speaker 8: sixteen for you, and that's the way I've always been.

817
00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:26,239
Speaker 8: I try to get as many vanbo games as I can,

818
00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:28,920
Speaker 8: and this has certainly been an enjoyable year. So I'll

819
00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:32,760
Speaker 8: be out there good on Saturday at three o'clock.

820
00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:35,280
Speaker 1: I'll see you there, my friend. Look forward to calling.

821
00:38:35,320 --> 00:38:38,880
Speaker 1: It should be fun against the Auburn Tigers coming up

822
00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:41,280
Speaker 1: this weekend, and then we'll get ready for the Houston

823
00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:42,919
Speaker 1: Texans next week.

824
00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:44,560
Speaker 6: Thank you, Jim, appreciate it, Taylor.

825
00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:47,880
Speaker 1: Thanks to mister Wyatt, thanks to RHTT, Brian to Amy

00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:49,840
