1 00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:14,600 Speaker 1: This is the Official Titans Podcast, better known by the 2 00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:17,280 Speaker 1: kids as the OTP. We're glad to have you with 3 00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:21,239 Speaker 1: us on Monday, July the thirtieth five days of training 4 00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:23,720 Speaker 1: Camp in the books, and Amy Wells has been here 5 00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:26,560 Speaker 1: for all five. I appreciate you acknowledging the youths to 6 00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:30,440 Speaker 1: listen to this. Right Jim Wyatt, the great one, is 7 00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:34,600 Speaker 1: back again for another program. He of course never ever 8 00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:38,000 Speaker 1: misses a practice. When was the last time you missed 9 00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:43,160 Speaker 1: a practice? When the Elder President Bush was yeah, we're 10 00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:47,199 Speaker 1: always uh, we're all using all at practice, uh, you know, 11 00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:49,760 Speaker 1: watching even during the course of the season. This was 12 00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:53,120 Speaker 1: the best practice of training camp so far for two reasons. 13 00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:57,400 Speaker 1: I don't even say arguably. I say it's the best 14 00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:01,200 Speaker 1: practice so far because they did the open film field drill, 15 00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:06,199 Speaker 1: which is fun because it's a ball carrier and it's 16 00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:10,240 Speaker 1: a tackler. Now, normally they don't tackle, They just compete 17 00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:12,520 Speaker 1: at a proper angle, which would have given them the 18 00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:16,560 Speaker 1: chance to make a tackle. But Coach Raban went live 19 00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:18,800 Speaker 1: with some of the rookies and there was a little 20 00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,840 Speaker 1: there was a little action. Last one, Rico Gafford makes 21 00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:24,360 Speaker 1: a big stop that they kind of wrapped up that 22 00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:29,399 Speaker 1: that session, which is more the most entertaining agree drill 23 00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:32,319 Speaker 1: in practice. Now, after that we went to more of 24 00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:35,160 Speaker 1: a live scrimmage where there wasn't tackling, but it was 25 00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:37,920 Speaker 1: game like situations, and that that was fun to watch, 26 00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:39,959 Speaker 1: I mean because went no we talked in the hallway 27 00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:42,759 Speaker 1: coming back up here afterward. Practice kind of flies by. 28 00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:45,440 Speaker 1: When you have a practice like that, the Rico Gafford 29 00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:48,120 Speaker 1: play you actually have on your Twitter, right, I do. 30 00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:51,080 Speaker 1: I was able to shoot every every one of those 31 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:54,280 Speaker 1: one on ones and then it ends with the Gafford hit, 32 00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:57,440 Speaker 1: So it's it's pretty cool to see. You get to 33 00:01:57,480 --> 00:01:59,919 Speaker 1: see every one of them that took place during that period, 34 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:04,240 Speaker 1: and some guys some plays, the offensive guy won, some plays, 35 00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:07,680 Speaker 1: the defender was in a good position. How do people 36 00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:10,600 Speaker 1: follow you on Twitter? At j Wyatt Sports on Twitter 37 00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:13,639 Speaker 1: and at j Wyatt Sports on Instagram. What did you 38 00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:16,960 Speaker 1: find interesting today at practice? Amy Wells. I love when 39 00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:20,480 Speaker 1: they're unscripted practices. I just love them. I think that 40 00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:23,240 Speaker 1: you get to see what this team's actually made of, 41 00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:25,560 Speaker 1: you get to see how far they are in the process, 42 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,280 Speaker 1: and you, guys are both right. It flew by. I 43 00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:29,880 Speaker 1: felt like every time I looked up, I was like, 44 00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:32,440 Speaker 1: oh gosh, we're almost done. Let's give a quick explanation 45 00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:36,800 Speaker 1: of unscripted. So you have various periods of practice, and 46 00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:40,399 Speaker 1: they're generally how many seven eight periods normally something about 47 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:44,760 Speaker 1: and they run anywhere from eight minutes to fifteen minutes 48 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,840 Speaker 1: according to what they want to get done, and they 49 00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:50,560 Speaker 1: generally go over a variety of things. When it's offense 50 00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:53,760 Speaker 1: against defense, they may be working on third downs, they 51 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,880 Speaker 1: may be working on short yardage, they could be, you know, 52 00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:59,280 Speaker 1: working on a variety of things. And then obviously they're 53 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:04,160 Speaker 1: special team periods, all different sorts of effects. Today, after 54 00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:07,320 Speaker 1: the first three or four periods, they just went completely 55 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:11,080 Speaker 1: open for an hour and it was the offense against 56 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 1: the defense, the ones against the ones, the twos against 57 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,040 Speaker 1: the twos, and I guess some of the threes against 58 00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:21,720 Speaker 1: the threes, with no script They called plays, they called defenses, 59 00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:25,240 Speaker 1: and it was, in essence, an hour long scrimmage. The 60 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:27,720 Speaker 1: offense got off to a very good start, took the 61 00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:30,840 Speaker 1: ball right down the field on the first drive. Mariota 62 00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:33,200 Speaker 1: had a great bootleg, was going to try to make 63 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:36,880 Speaker 1: the corner and then unfortunately for Marcus dropped the ball. Yeah, 64 00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:40,240 Speaker 1: and then really be completely honest, offen As really didn't 65 00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:43,560 Speaker 1: have a spark after that. Certainly made some plays. Taylan 66 00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:46,000 Speaker 1: Taylor made a great play down field late, Marcus do 67 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:48,440 Speaker 1: a great pass. It was a play across the middle 68 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:50,360 Speaker 1: of Dalaniel Walker where the ball was done well, you 69 00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:52,520 Speaker 1: got to give credit Jon Brown for breaking it up. 70 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:55,040 Speaker 1: So there were moments from the offense, but I thought 71 00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:56,840 Speaker 1: the defense won the day. I mean, I thought they 72 00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:59,160 Speaker 1: had good pressure. I thought there were situations where they 73 00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 1: were covered side what the secondary did a good job, 74 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,960 Speaker 1: and I think they stepped up and made some big hits. Hits. 75 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,200 Speaker 1: We saw a lot of Brett Kern. We saw some 76 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:10,760 Speaker 1: Ryan suck up coming into closeout drives. You didn't see touchdowns, 77 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,360 Speaker 1: like you want to say again, offenses backed up as 78 00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:14,880 Speaker 1: a start a lot of these drives, but they just 79 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:18,279 Speaker 1: could not sustain a drive all the way down the field. 80 00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:20,800 Speaker 1: And you're right, it kind of started with the Mariota fumble. 81 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:24,240 Speaker 1: Give me a couple of guys who jumped out to you, Amy. 82 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:28,320 Speaker 1: I noticed Wesley Woodyard a lot today. He seemed very 83 00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:32,640 Speaker 1: fired up. He was excited. I noticed Taj sharp a 84 00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:35,039 Speaker 1: couple of times. He had some good things going. Jay 85 00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:36,760 Speaker 1: On Brown, I noticed a lot. I watched a lot 86 00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:39,400 Speaker 1: of Harold Landry today. He seemed like he was fitting 87 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:41,760 Speaker 1: in really well. And he had some reps with the Ones, 88 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:45,039 Speaker 1: so that was good to see. Those are my biggest 89 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:48,920 Speaker 1: ones as promised. Julius Warmsley got reps with the Ones, 90 00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:51,839 Speaker 1: the backup defensive lineman getting a chance to play. The 91 00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:53,560 Speaker 1: other guy who got a chance to play with the 92 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:58,640 Speaker 1: Ones as promised was Anthony Firkser, the tight end who's 93 00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:02,120 Speaker 1: trying to make this club after coming into the league 94 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:05,880 Speaker 1: last year as an undrafted And that's because you know, 95 00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:09,960 Speaker 1: obviously Philips, Supernaw, Luke Stock or John U. Smith all 96 00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:12,839 Speaker 1: held out at today's practice. Supernowl remains on pup. So 97 00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:15,400 Speaker 1: we got like Furture plays and he made a couple 98 00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:19,320 Speaker 1: of catches himself my standouts, And I mentioned the Taywan 99 00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:22,800 Speaker 1: Taylor catch. And I thought Derek Henry made some nice runs. 100 00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:25,279 Speaker 1: But I agree with Amy. I thought John Brown was good. 101 00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:28,280 Speaker 1: I thought Aaron Wallace had a good day. I noticed 102 00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:31,359 Speaker 1: Derek More. We're gonna get out of the quarterback. Kevin 103 00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:33,600 Speaker 1: Byard picked up that fumble. We were talking about from 104 00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:36,320 Speaker 1: Marcus Mariota and went the other way. And I thought 105 00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:38,960 Speaker 1: the defense, you know, kind of set the tone throughout. 106 00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:43,120 Speaker 1: Bayard also had a sack, yes, coming from his safety position, 107 00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:45,960 Speaker 1: and so there were some good things and Mariota had 108 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:49,400 Speaker 1: some good throws. The moment for him where he dropped 109 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:52,479 Speaker 1: the ball, he'll never do that again. He will never 110 00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:55,880 Speaker 1: ever do that again. You you would. That's one of 111 00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:58,440 Speaker 1: those things. You're so glad it happened in practice because 112 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:01,240 Speaker 1: he's gonna make sure he tucks that ball every single 113 00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:03,719 Speaker 1: time he was carrying it out away from Yeah, that's 114 00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:05,960 Speaker 1: you hope that's the case. And I think that that's 115 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,279 Speaker 1: the way Marcus is. He's real conscious of that, and 116 00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:10,320 Speaker 1: I'm sure he's beating himself up over that. I think, 117 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:12,160 Speaker 1: you know, you've got better remember that. I do. I 118 00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:14,360 Speaker 1: think it was a similar play. He lost a ball 119 00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:18,560 Speaker 1: in San Diego on a fumble. Am I right about that? 120 00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:20,640 Speaker 1: That ended up being picked up and taking the other 121 00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:24,240 Speaker 1: way a couple of years ago he did. I remember 122 00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:27,280 Speaker 1: the game, and that's when he had fumbling issues, and 123 00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:30,880 Speaker 1: but he did a good job moving forward correcting that problems. 124 00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:33,240 Speaker 1: Funny earlier in his career, wasn't the interceptions that were 125 00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:35,880 Speaker 1: an issue with him. It was fumbling, and he did 126 00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,400 Speaker 1: some things to kind of make sure that wouldn't happen. 127 00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:41,120 Speaker 1: If I'm not mistaken, only two fumbles all of last year, 128 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:43,839 Speaker 1: So I think that kind of hammers at home in 129 00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:47,400 Speaker 1: his mind to protect the football. Taywan Taylor mentioned a 130 00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:49,400 Speaker 1: great catch by him. There was a play in the 131 00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:51,840 Speaker 1: middle of the field where he caught a pass and 132 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:53,719 Speaker 1: I think he just lost it. You know, a Dory 133 00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:55,600 Speaker 1: Jackson was close to him. I thought for a second 134 00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:57,040 Speaker 1: that maybe a door he got his hand in there. 135 00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:58,560 Speaker 1: But I talked to somebody else said they think he 136 00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:01,240 Speaker 1: just lost possession of it. So those are the things, 137 00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:04,160 Speaker 1: you know, you want to clean up. They happened during 138 00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:07,120 Speaker 1: the course of a long practice and uh and it's 139 00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,480 Speaker 1: a teaching point for Mike Vrabel and the staff. This 140 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,320 Speaker 1: is gonna come as a big shock. Delaney Walker is 141 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:16,920 Speaker 1: going to be good in this offense. Huh. Well, he's 142 00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:20,800 Speaker 1: very active. You know, he doesn't mind, you know, sacrifice 143 00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:22,400 Speaker 1: in his body to make a catch. He did that 144 00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:25,560 Speaker 1: early in practice. Uh. You know, he's still he loves 145 00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:27,520 Speaker 1: to play the game. You know, he's talked about you know, 146 00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:29,600 Speaker 1: feeling like a kid even though he's closing in on 147 00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:33,000 Speaker 1: birthday number thirty four. Uh, you know, he looks good 148 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:34,400 Speaker 1: to me, and he got a lot of work. We 149 00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:36,560 Speaker 1: mentioned Firkture, but we all those tight ends out. That's 150 00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:38,920 Speaker 1: more on the field for Delaney Walker too. I was 151 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:42,200 Speaker 1: very impressed with how they used him, particularly in third 152 00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:45,160 Speaker 1: down situations. It's as if they said, you know, he's 153 00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:47,520 Speaker 1: kind of our best player. We let's saw him the 154 00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:51,360 Speaker 1: ball and nobody matches up with him. I don't care. 155 00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:54,360 Speaker 1: I mean, as well as jay On Brown's playing or 156 00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:57,000 Speaker 1: anybody else as the linebacker or the safety spot, and 157 00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:00,280 Speaker 1: no offense to any of them, it's impossible to match 158 00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:04,240 Speaker 1: up with him. No, he's fast, he's athletic, he's good 159 00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:07,120 Speaker 1: at what he's doing, and he's a monster. Well, he's savvy. 160 00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:09,720 Speaker 1: He's a brick house he is. He's a big guy. 161 00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:13,160 Speaker 1: But it's as if he's like a basketball player who 162 00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:16,560 Speaker 1: knows how to get himself open on the block so 163 00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:20,480 Speaker 1: you can get him the ball. He his spacing is excellent. 164 00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:23,960 Speaker 1: I mean, everything he does is textbook. It's like he's 165 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,720 Speaker 1: watching it in slow motion, which I guess comes with 166 00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:29,440 Speaker 1: years and years and years and years of experience, but 167 00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:32,920 Speaker 1: the game doesn't look like it's as fast to Delaney Walker. 168 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,679 Speaker 1: That's true. Something else stood out to me, Michael Campanero, 169 00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:37,480 Speaker 1: and there is a long way to go. Obviously, before 170 00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:40,839 Speaker 1: this team settled, settles in on his returners. But Campaneo 171 00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:44,880 Speaker 1: was out there first on pump returns, a Dorry Jackson 172 00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:46,640 Speaker 1: out there second. You know, both of them. They kind 173 00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:51,000 Speaker 1: of alternated back and forth. But you know, I'm that's 174 00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,720 Speaker 1: one of the ones I'm curious about as the season approaches. 175 00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:55,439 Speaker 1: How is that one going to shake out the door? 176 00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:58,080 Speaker 1: He played in the second most snaps of anybody in 177 00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:00,640 Speaker 1: the league last year. Team's very aware of that. They 178 00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:02,320 Speaker 1: don't want to overwork him, don't want to have him 179 00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:03,840 Speaker 1: worn out at the end of the the season. Maybe a 180 00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:07,120 Speaker 1: way that you reduce some of his wear and tear 181 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:09,240 Speaker 1: on him is by not having him in the returning game. 182 00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:10,960 Speaker 1: But you do that, I need to take away a 183 00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:13,840 Speaker 1: guy who is obviously a playmaker for you. Campadera fourth 184 00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:16,880 Speaker 1: in the NFL last year, and punt returns averaged slightly 185 00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:20,760 Speaker 1: slightly more than eleven yards per return. Also ran back 186 00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:25,000 Speaker 1: a punt for a touchdown, so better statistically than a 187 00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:27,679 Speaker 1: Dorry Jackson who averaged eight and a half yards per 188 00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:31,559 Speaker 1: punt return. Wow, everyone's still raving about Malcolm Butler too, 189 00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:36,400 Speaker 1: Edim Wyatt specifically, Jim Wyatt loves Malcolm. I do. And 190 00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:38,599 Speaker 1: part of the reasons reminds me of Steve McNair. I 191 00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:41,160 Speaker 1: mean from the very first day he arrived and he 192 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:45,800 Speaker 1: was started saying most definitely, which we all remember, that's 193 00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:48,719 Speaker 1: what Steve McNair used to say when he answered a 194 00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:51,320 Speaker 1: question in a way that he agreed with you. And 195 00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:53,640 Speaker 1: that's Malcolm Butler. And he has great lines. You know, 196 00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:56,920 Speaker 1: he talked yesterday about making an interception instead of you know, 197 00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:59,640 Speaker 1: play a day, keep a coach away. You know, that 198 00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:02,280 Speaker 1: was pretty good. Yeah, and he's got I mean, he's 199 00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:05,400 Speaker 1: got a funny line after you know, in each of 200 00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:08,400 Speaker 1: his media sessions he's uh playing with the chip on 201 00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:10,800 Speaker 1: the shoulder doesn't deny the fact what happened last year 202 00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:15,560 Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl still lights afar in him before 203 00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:19,560 Speaker 1: you know, every practice, and it's fun to watch him. 204 00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:21,360 Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think he had a pick today, 205 00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:24,800 Speaker 1: which which probably ended a streak of at least I 206 00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:27,400 Speaker 1: didn't see if he had one into a streak of 207 00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:30,439 Speaker 1: practices where he was making a play right out of 208 00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:32,920 Speaker 1: the gate, but still I thought he was very solid. 209 00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:37,200 Speaker 1: Several safeties had plays today. We mentioned Bayard with a 210 00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:40,679 Speaker 1: fumble recovery in a sack. Jonathan Cyprian was active in 211 00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:43,600 Speaker 1: particular in the run game. Kendrick Lewis had a couple 212 00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:46,040 Speaker 1: of good plays the eighth year safety out of old 213 00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:49,360 Speaker 1: miss making some things happen, and your guy Dane Crookshank 214 00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:52,960 Speaker 1: showing up continuing to show up, playing better in the 215 00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:56,720 Speaker 1: secondary than I think maybe some thought. Yeah, I feel 216 00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:59,000 Speaker 1: like he kind of snuck in there and surprised people. 217 00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:03,400 Speaker 1: Silent but dead, which is okay, and I agree with Lewis. 218 00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:05,280 Speaker 1: I mean he stepped up and made a big hit 219 00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:07,320 Speaker 1: on Flewell and in the run game at one point, 220 00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:09,280 Speaker 1: and there was another play where he was kind of 221 00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:12,240 Speaker 1: on an island when they threw a screen to Dion Lewis. 222 00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:15,520 Speaker 1: I thought Dean Lewis was going the distance and Kendrick 223 00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:18,680 Speaker 1: Lewis was blocked up and he managed to get get 224 00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:22,040 Speaker 1: off of his player and get Lewis out of bounds 225 00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:24,200 Speaker 1: to stop. It was a big game, but it could 226 00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:27,000 Speaker 1: have been. It would have been a touchdown if he 227 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:28,960 Speaker 1: doesn't find a way to break free. Is this the 228 00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:33,720 Speaker 1: year the Titans finally improving the screen game? I think? Uh? 229 00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:36,400 Speaker 1: I think so. I mean I think got the weapons 230 00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:39,000 Speaker 1: to do it, and uh and as long as you 231 00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:41,400 Speaker 1: can sell it, you know sometimes you know, to play 232 00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:43,760 Speaker 1: that play there in particular is one that Marcus sold 233 00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:45,160 Speaker 1: at going to the the Way and he threw it back 234 00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:48,720 Speaker 1: to Lewis. I think definitely potentials there for that to happen. 235 00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:51,400 Speaker 1: They should be good at it because they have backs 236 00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:53,960 Speaker 1: to do it, and they have lineman who can run 237 00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:58,000 Speaker 1: more athletic, you know lineman. And that's was by design 238 00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:00,800 Speaker 1: in this new offense. I mean we haven't seen Conklin, Yeah, 239 00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:02,960 Speaker 1: but he's already said that he's down ten pounds, going 240 00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:05,360 Speaker 1: from three twenty to three ten where he could be 241 00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:07,120 Speaker 1: a better fit in the offense. And what's going to 242 00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:08,720 Speaker 1: be asking him and that part of that is to 243 00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:10,240 Speaker 1: be in the open field and be able to block 244 00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:12,920 Speaker 1: something that a guy like Taylor Lawe can do well 245 00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:15,560 Speaker 1: and something that these other linemen approved and they can do. 246 00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:17,800 Speaker 1: All right, So help me with something. Jack Conklin, who's 247 00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:20,800 Speaker 1: on pup, he has not done anything yet. How has 248 00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:24,120 Speaker 1: Dennis Kelly played at right tackle. I think he's been okay. 249 00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:27,880 Speaker 1: I think he's been consistent, and I mean they're doing 250 00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:30,439 Speaker 1: so much rotation on the offensive line that you blink 251 00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:32,280 Speaker 1: and there's a whole new set of people up there. 252 00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:34,600 Speaker 1: But every time I've watched, I've never been like, oh God, 253 00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:37,000 Speaker 1: Dennis Kelly, you know, And that's what you want when 254 00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,680 Speaker 1: you're watching offensive lineman. You just don't want to think 255 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:42,360 Speaker 1: their names. That's a good point, and that's John Robinson's best. 256 00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:43,839 Speaker 1: I mean that he made that trade a couple of 257 00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:46,000 Speaker 1: years ago, trade and DGB and a lot of people 258 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,800 Speaker 1: will question that. And not only is Kelly coming here 259 00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:54,000 Speaker 1: and played, but he's gives this team insurance for Jack Conklin, 260 00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:57,600 Speaker 1: insurance for Taylor Lawe. You know, he's a veteran who's 261 00:12:57,640 --> 00:12:59,679 Speaker 1: played well as one of those type of guys at 262 00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:02,760 Speaker 1: the coaching staff loves and uh. I think he has 263 00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:05,320 Speaker 1: been I think he's been good. What do we think 264 00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:09,400 Speaker 1: of Marcus Mariota's first five days of training camp. I 265 00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:12,000 Speaker 1: think they've been okay. I think he's still adjusting to 266 00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:15,600 Speaker 1: a new system and a new style of playing, and 267 00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:18,200 Speaker 1: obviously he's throwing to a lot of people that he's 268 00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:21,400 Speaker 1: not familiar with right now, mostly because there's a ton 269 00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:25,079 Speaker 1: of young kids out there right now. But it looks 270 00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:27,280 Speaker 1: like he's progressing. It looks like he's picking it up, 271 00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:29,400 Speaker 1: and especially some of the times where he gets to 272 00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:32,040 Speaker 1: run free and kind of make his own decisions. He 273 00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:34,080 Speaker 1: looks like the Marcus that we all know, you know, 274 00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:36,920 Speaker 1: kind of what we saw towards the end of last 275 00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:38,960 Speaker 1: season in the playoffs a little bit, the guy making 276 00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:41,760 Speaker 1: the quick decisions and making the athletic plays what he 277 00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:44,880 Speaker 1: needs to do. You differ, you know, it hasn't been 278 00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:46,560 Speaker 1: a camp like we saw a couple of years ago. 279 00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:51,760 Speaker 1: I remember keeping track of what one fifty one seventy one, 280 00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:54,840 Speaker 1: two hundred and ten throws in training camp without an interception. 281 00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:56,439 Speaker 1: I'll remember that streak that would have been. It was 282 00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:59,840 Speaker 1: that his rookie year when that happened, So I remember 283 00:13:59,920 --> 00:14:01,760 Speaker 1: that streak that went all the way, and it was 284 00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:04,920 Speaker 1: a story when he threw an interception after three weeks 285 00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:09,880 Speaker 1: into practice. It hasn't been one of those types of camp. 286 00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:13,240 Speaker 1: Out of the gate, he has thrown into interceptions. He 287 00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:18,600 Speaker 1: lost the handle on the football today. But I think 288 00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:21,920 Speaker 1: he's getting better each time. Out of the Marcus Mario 289 00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:24,160 Speaker 1: doc now compared to the one I saw earlier in 290 00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:27,000 Speaker 1: the offseason, has improved greatly. I think he's done a 291 00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:30,400 Speaker 1: good job of knowing when the journey's over. He's not 292 00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:34,000 Speaker 1: forcing balls, he's tucking it and running it. He looks faster, 293 00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:36,120 Speaker 1: he's not warning that knee brace. I think he looks 294 00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:39,400 Speaker 1: more elusive, and you got you can't forget the fact 295 00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:42,400 Speaker 1: that his one of his top receivers, Roshard Matthews, is 296 00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:44,240 Speaker 1: not out there, and he's throwing to Corey Davis who's 297 00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:46,720 Speaker 1: played half of a season he's played. He's throwing to 298 00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:49,800 Speaker 1: Taij Sharpe, who hasn't thrown two in a couple of years. 299 00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:52,280 Speaker 1: Taywan Taylor's just in a second year, Michael Camp and 300 00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:55,360 Speaker 1: Eiro's knew with this team. You know, Jordan VC, you 301 00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:57,520 Speaker 1: know a lot of these guys are going through it 302 00:14:57,560 --> 00:14:59,360 Speaker 1: for the first time with him. So you've got to 303 00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:01,600 Speaker 1: give him. They've been for the doubt and that, and 304 00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:04,080 Speaker 1: then also with the fact that's a brand new offense 305 00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:06,760 Speaker 1: where he's been being asked to do some different things. 306 00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:09,840 Speaker 1: So has it been perfect, No, But I think I 307 00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:12,480 Speaker 1: see him getting better each time out. I was thinking 308 00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:15,760 Speaker 1: about that streak a couple days ago and how different 309 00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:19,080 Speaker 1: this feels. We have to remember, a that was the 310 00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:23,200 Speaker 1: first NFL offensive scheme that Marcus ever had in his brain. 311 00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:27,680 Speaker 1: Number Two, the defense that he was going up against 312 00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:29,880 Speaker 1: at that time is not the defense that we're seeing 313 00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:33,360 Speaker 1: out a feeling right now. That was not a great defense. 314 00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:35,920 Speaker 1: It was not a great defense. It wasn't the secondary 315 00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:37,800 Speaker 1: that we have right now, It wasn't a group of 316 00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:40,680 Speaker 1: linebackers that we have right now. They were dealing with 317 00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:42,840 Speaker 1: their own stuff. They were trying to figure themselves out 318 00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:45,040 Speaker 1: over there. So, yeah, Marcus was able to get through 319 00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:47,720 Speaker 1: with a streak that made him look awesome. But look 320 00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:49,760 Speaker 1: at what the football season turned out. Well, there's nothing 321 00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:52,680 Speaker 1: wrong with checking it down and taking safe throws, and 322 00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:55,720 Speaker 1: there are checkdowns and safe throws in this offense. But 323 00:15:55,800 --> 00:16:00,440 Speaker 1: this Marcus Mariota tries to make things happen too. He's trying. 324 00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:04,240 Speaker 1: I mean, we've seen more big plays, We've seen you know, 325 00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:09,000 Speaker 1: deep shots and things happen overall that he's not the 326 00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:12,240 Speaker 1: same guy. And I think if you're not willing to 327 00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:14,720 Speaker 1: do that, you know, it's the high risk, high reward 328 00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:17,560 Speaker 1: type of situation. He's not playing as safe as he 329 00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:20,440 Speaker 1: used to before. But look at some of the things 330 00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:23,080 Speaker 1: that we've seen him do in games. You got to 331 00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:24,760 Speaker 1: work some of that stuff out on the field, and 332 00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:27,000 Speaker 1: what better time to do it than during training camp. 333 00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:30,400 Speaker 1: I think you're dead on that's a good point. Young receivers, 334 00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:34,040 Speaker 1: We've gone through them day by day. Darius Jennings getting 335 00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:36,360 Speaker 1: a lot of work in special teams, which gives you 336 00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:38,600 Speaker 1: a hint that they do like him as much as 337 00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:41,320 Speaker 1: they say. Take me through some of the other youngsters 338 00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:44,960 Speaker 1: and how you thought they performed in today's practice, particularly 339 00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:49,040 Speaker 1: during the unscripted stage. Yeah, I think Deante Burnett continues 340 00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:53,720 Speaker 1: to show up and make some plays. I didn't see 341 00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:55,880 Speaker 1: him as much or didn't write his name down as 342 00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:58,160 Speaker 1: much during some of the old TA even night seems 343 00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:03,120 Speaker 1: like I'm you know, wreck naising plays that he's making downfield. Uh, 344 00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:06,879 Speaker 1: you know, VC is not flashed as much as he 345 00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:10,000 Speaker 1: did during the course of the offseason. I think Burnette 346 00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:12,280 Speaker 1: has replaced him in that regard. I still like the 347 00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:14,920 Speaker 1: looks at him and think he's going to perform well 348 00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:16,960 Speaker 1: when he gets a chance. That you mentioned Jennings, I 349 00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:20,600 Speaker 1: mean he's another player who continues to perform well. I 350 00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:22,679 Speaker 1: thought Taiwan again had a good day to day. Taija 351 00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:26,639 Speaker 1: had a good day to day. I'll be curious to 352 00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:29,639 Speaker 1: who the stars are of Wednesday. Mike, you're the one 353 00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:31,560 Speaker 1: with the bios over there. Do you have one for 354 00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:34,040 Speaker 1: Jordan VS? I have one on Jordan VC. This is 355 00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:36,840 Speaker 1: a pretty interesting story. Okay, So Jordan vs. Played at 356 00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:41,560 Speaker 1: cow Yes, which obviously is in California. Sure, yes, it 357 00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:46,000 Speaker 1: truly is. Yes, thank you, that's a good bios. That's 358 00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:49,000 Speaker 1: some good reporting, thank you, thank you, northern California. To 359 00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:53,440 Speaker 1: be exact, he's actually from Gadston, Alabama. Really, he's from 360 00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:57,800 Speaker 1: Tights Country. So his story. As he was primarily a 361 00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:02,600 Speaker 1: baseball player at Gadston Sti City High School, his focus 362 00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:06,800 Speaker 1: turned to football as a senior. He went largely unnoticed 363 00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:09,840 Speaker 1: due to a late growth spurt. He grew six inches 364 00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:13,240 Speaker 1: between his junior and senior year and he ran four 365 00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:17,919 Speaker 1: nine three in the forty Huh, which will happen to 366 00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:20,640 Speaker 1: you if you grow a bunch all at once. You're 367 00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:24,480 Speaker 1: a little draft A little bit, yes, a little bit, 368 00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:28,840 Speaker 1: that's fair. So he went to Faulkner University in Montgomery, Alabama. 369 00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:31,600 Speaker 1: He was there for one year, played sparingly as a freshman. 370 00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:37,080 Speaker 1: Transferred to Atawamba Community College in Mississippi, but couldn't play 371 00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:41,480 Speaker 1: in twenty fourteen because some classes from Faulkner had not transferred, 372 00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:44,960 Speaker 1: So he's got a mess there. He goes to Auburn 373 00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:49,720 Speaker 1: University Montgomery to get his credits at Atawamba, but he 374 00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:53,639 Speaker 1: goes back to Atawamba and they cut him. But the 375 00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:58,720 Speaker 1: staff at Atawamba calls the staff at Golden West College, 376 00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:04,080 Speaker 1: which is obvious Lee California, thank you, okay. In two fifteen, 377 00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:07,679 Speaker 1: he caught sixty three passes for one twenty six yards 378 00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:12,320 Speaker 1: eleven touchdowns. He had eighteen hundred all purpose yards. So, 379 00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:14,200 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, this guy who had run four 380 00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:17,080 Speaker 1: to nine three and gotten cut at at a Wamba 381 00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:22,399 Speaker 1: and didn't play at Faulkner is being recruited very late 382 00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:25,720 Speaker 1: as a major recruit, and he goes to Cow. Fifteen 383 00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:29,440 Speaker 1: total offers, he chooses Cow. He played in twenty four 384 00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:33,080 Speaker 1: games for the Bears, starting thirteen in two years. He 385 00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:36,840 Speaker 1: caught sixty three passes for seven hundred ninety seven yards, 386 00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:40,880 Speaker 1: but he did have nine touchdowns. He was not invited 387 00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:45,359 Speaker 1: to the combine. He ran four five three at his 388 00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:48,240 Speaker 1: March twentieth Pro Day, and of course the Titans signed 389 00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:51,320 Speaker 1: him as an undrafted free agent on May the eleventh. 390 00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:55,280 Speaker 1: So we've got a classic late bloomer situation here. That's 391 00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:58,320 Speaker 1: a story. Never give up on your dreams, kids, Maybe 392 00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:00,560 Speaker 1: you two will grows. There are a lot There are 393 00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:03,440 Speaker 1: a lot of Titans fans and Gatston Alabama, that part 394 00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:06,920 Speaker 1: of Alabama, we have a strong fan base, and now 395 00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:10,320 Speaker 1: one of their own is here. Although when you see 396 00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:13,800 Speaker 1: Jordan vs. Six three two twenty one rookie from Cow, 397 00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:17,200 Speaker 1: you would never think that. I don't think of somebody 398 00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:21,800 Speaker 1: being at Cow as someone from Gatston, Alabama. That doesn't 399 00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:24,040 Speaker 1: happen a lot. No, that doesn't seem like it at all. 400 00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:27,280 Speaker 1: But great fan base there, and I'm a fan of him. 401 00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:30,199 Speaker 1: I like him. I've watched him practice. I like the 402 00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:35,040 Speaker 1: way he played. I love the way he's built. He's big. 403 00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:39,000 Speaker 1: He is big. I had to late grosser part myself, 404 00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:41,600 Speaker 1: but didn't ever develop as an athlete like you. Didn't. 405 00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:44,480 Speaker 1: It did now. I've grew about six seven inches my 406 00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:46,800 Speaker 1: senior year in high school year, I was five four 407 00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:48,720 Speaker 1: when I started my senior year in high school. You 408 00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:51,800 Speaker 1: are not five four now? Serious? Yeah? So I grew 409 00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:54,199 Speaker 1: from the time during my senior year and even my 410 00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:56,679 Speaker 1: freshman year in college. I put on a couple more inches, 411 00:20:56,720 --> 00:21:00,560 Speaker 1: but never certainly didn't bulk up and couldn't catch ball 412 00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:03,240 Speaker 1: like Jordan V. You were five four yep as I 413 00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:06,159 Speaker 1: start my senior year. What's your forty time? Now? You 414 00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:10,240 Speaker 1: how to work your leg? Probably about six six four maybe? Okay, 415 00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:15,080 Speaker 1: yeah that sounds right. Wow, that's crazy. I can't picture 416 00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:17,520 Speaker 1: you as a little guy. I need to show you 417 00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:19,840 Speaker 1: my senior picture at some point. Yeah, it looks like 418 00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:22,440 Speaker 1: a baby. I think you do. I think that needs 419 00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:24,800 Speaker 1: to happen. Well, how about that too bad? This is 420 00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:27,960 Speaker 1: not a video edition of the Hut, and we could 421 00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:31,320 Speaker 1: show people just how tall Jim. We could do that 422 00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:34,640 Speaker 1: very thing. All right, Let's talk about who was out today. 423 00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:38,280 Speaker 1: So there was no John U. Smith, no Luke Stocker, 424 00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:43,960 Speaker 1: but Corey Davis was back, which was good. And these 425 00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:49,080 Speaker 1: are planned ress days overall. Richard Matthews remains on PUP. 426 00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:54,040 Speaker 1: Jack Conkton remains on PUP. Philip supernaw tight End remains 427 00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:58,760 Speaker 1: on PUP. At this point, who else am I leaving out? 428 00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:02,119 Speaker 1: Who is not practiced, Briana rock Poe, you mister roo 429 00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:07,240 Speaker 1: Rashaun Evans held out again today. Uh. Uh Connor Flagel 430 00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:10,879 Speaker 1: I think was back uh in action. Uh as far 431 00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:12,879 Speaker 1: as the most nov Let me think it was somebody 432 00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:16,280 Speaker 1: else that missed. Uh as well, you hit the headliners. 433 00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:19,359 Speaker 1: I think you know a lot of attention went to uh, 434 00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:24,480 Speaker 1: Nick Nico Fila the Center from USC also, UH miss 435 00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:27,960 Speaker 1: practice today. Five guys from USC on this roster now 436 00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:33,680 Speaker 1: and Claude Plan where's USC. It's in southern California. It's 437 00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:36,879 Speaker 1: just making sure you knew. And a lot of attention 438 00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:40,160 Speaker 1: I'll say this went to you mentioned Richard Matthews and 439 00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:44,480 Speaker 1: uh some attention went to him being on pup today 440 00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:47,760 Speaker 1: because they had not previously been reported or known. He 441 00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:51,359 Speaker 1: shows up on the updated UH roster that that's handed 442 00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:53,920 Speaker 1: out each day to media and he's listed on there. 443 00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:56,440 Speaker 1: So a lot of people thought that was a new addition, 444 00:22:56,840 --> 00:22:59,160 Speaker 1: and it's not in fact new. He came in later 445 00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:01,640 Speaker 1: than Jack, you know, he came in a little bit later, 446 00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:04,520 Speaker 1: so he wasn't listed on the initial roster that Jack 447 00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:07,920 Speaker 1: Conklin and Philip Supernaw appeared on. But he's been on PUP. 448 00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:11,679 Speaker 1: Uh since the end of last week. Should we explain 449 00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:16,240 Speaker 1: PUP here on the OTP. I think so, yes, Yeah, 450 00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:18,960 Speaker 1: PUP and at this time of year, and what does 451 00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:21,680 Speaker 1: it stand for? A physically unable to perform list and 452 00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:23,639 Speaker 1: the guys that are eligible for that of guys wo 453 00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:25,840 Speaker 1: not practice you at the course of the offseason. It 454 00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:27,840 Speaker 1: doesn't mean that you're going to have to start the 455 00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:30,480 Speaker 1: season on PUP or that you're not going to be 456 00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:33,159 Speaker 1: ready for the for the start. It means that, uh, 457 00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:36,320 Speaker 1: it gives it gives the team some extra time while 458 00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:39,479 Speaker 1: maintaining a ninety man roster, and those guys can be 459 00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:41,920 Speaker 1: called up at any time, uh to the roster and 460 00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:44,280 Speaker 1: everything they're ready. I saw Rochard on the field today 461 00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:46,879 Speaker 1: for the first time doing a little work, just like 462 00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:49,600 Speaker 1: we've seen Jack Conklin do someone a side field. They 463 00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:53,880 Speaker 1: do count against the ninety But if you've practiced, you're 464 00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:56,480 Speaker 1: not eligible for PUP. So if you get danged, you 465 00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:59,720 Speaker 1: can't be put on PUP. And by staying there, you're 466 00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:04,040 Speaker 1: eligible to start the season on the PUP list if 467 00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:07,360 Speaker 1: you're not ready to go, which means if that's the case, 468 00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:10,000 Speaker 1: you would have to sit out the first six Is 469 00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:12,399 Speaker 1: it six weeks or six games? I guess yeah, I 470 00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:15,720 Speaker 1: think it's six weeks. And I don't know that there's 471 00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:19,200 Speaker 1: concern on any of those guys yet that that's where 472 00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:21,640 Speaker 1: they're going to have to end up. Yeah, I think 473 00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:24,680 Speaker 1: I've been asked that a lot about Conklin and now 474 00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:27,400 Speaker 1: about Matthews. But I mean, I still think the plan 475 00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:29,960 Speaker 1: has just kind of let them keep progressing and rehab 476 00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:31,960 Speaker 1: and then at some point I think I'll be called 477 00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:33,920 Speaker 1: up here in the offseason. But the point was made 478 00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:37,639 Speaker 1: to me is why would you not put someone on 479 00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:42,920 Speaker 1: PUP and give yourself that option, knowing that you only 480 00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:47,600 Speaker 1: have two spots available to designate somebody to injured reserve 481 00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:51,680 Speaker 1: with the ability to return. Yeah, it seems as though 482 00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:55,080 Speaker 1: that would be worst case scenario, guys not getting the 483 00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:57,520 Speaker 1: work that you hope you will, but he's getting the rest, 484 00:24:57,560 --> 00:25:00,280 Speaker 1: he's getting the treatment, and he's still on your team. Well, 485 00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:03,720 Speaker 1: and this just gives you another option, right, which is 486 00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:06,240 Speaker 1: a good thing because if he does start the regular 487 00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:10,000 Speaker 1: season on PUP, he does not count against the fifty three, 488 00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:14,399 Speaker 1: So then you could bring him back, you know, six weeks, 489 00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:16,520 Speaker 1: and you'd have to make a roster move to get 490 00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:18,600 Speaker 1: him on. You have a three at that point, you 491 00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:22,280 Speaker 1: have three weeks for him to practice before you either 492 00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:26,200 Speaker 1: have to move him to injured reserve or activating. So 493 00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:28,920 Speaker 1: if someone were and this is a clarification question, if 494 00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:32,360 Speaker 1: someone were to get injured who has practiced within these 495 00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:36,800 Speaker 1: first four practices, they then would have to be put 496 00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:39,679 Speaker 1: on injured reserve. Theoretically, if they were not ready to 497 00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:42,639 Speaker 1: start the season and you wanted them to be able 498 00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:46,080 Speaker 1: to return, they would be one of your two designated 499 00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:50,159 Speaker 1: designated to return injured reserve. Yes, okay, And you wouldn't 500 00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:51,760 Speaker 1: have to do it immediately, you know, like if somebody 501 00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:54,119 Speaker 1: gets hurt out here to you know, knock on wood 502 00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:56,879 Speaker 1: in the next day or so, you don't have to 503 00:25:56,920 --> 00:25:59,359 Speaker 1: immediately make a move. You can wait. And that that 504 00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:01,520 Speaker 1: would kind of answer your question as to how many 505 00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:03,880 Speaker 1: who you elect to put on there, I mean, because 506 00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:06,399 Speaker 1: you do have to be somewhat careful about who you 507 00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:09,520 Speaker 1: put on injury reserve because of the limitations there day 508 00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:13,200 Speaker 1: off tomorrow. Well, hell so, I think it's a good 509 00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:15,760 Speaker 1: time for it for players too, because I think, you know, 510 00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:17,159 Speaker 1: it gives them a time to kind of catch their 511 00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:19,000 Speaker 1: breath a little bit. We talked about the intensity in 512 00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:22,760 Speaker 1: today's practice, just how action packed it was. I think 513 00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:26,000 Speaker 1: that was by design, because you know, coach Rabel obviously 514 00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:27,640 Speaker 1: knows you had to get one more good day out 515 00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:30,679 Speaker 1: of them before the day off. James Shaw's scheduled to 516 00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:33,480 Speaker 1: speak with the team who was who was the hero 517 00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:38,560 Speaker 1: from the waffle house shooting here just outside Nashville this offseason. 518 00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:41,040 Speaker 1: We'll speak at a team meeting, and we met with 519 00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:45,320 Speaker 1: coach Rabel this afternoon. And then guys tom Ark can rest, 520 00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:47,320 Speaker 1: they can maybe watch some film, they can come in 521 00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:50,159 Speaker 1: and get some treatment on injuries, kind of catch their 522 00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:53,840 Speaker 1: breath a little bit before Wednesday and Thursday practice out 523 00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:56,359 Speaker 1: here and then Friday night at Centennial High School and 524 00:26:56,400 --> 00:27:00,440 Speaker 1: then Saturday at Nissan Stadium. They were into can head 525 00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:04,000 Speaker 1: the game week against the Pickers next Thursday and talk 526 00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:06,159 Speaker 1: if you would, about who was on the field today 527 00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:09,880 Speaker 1: after practice. Interested to know about that and to hear 528 00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:12,040 Speaker 1: I think I think the people who listened to the 529 00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:14,720 Speaker 1: OTP would be interested to hear this story. Very cool, Yeah, 530 00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:17,879 Speaker 1: it's very cool. Six wounded veterans from the US and 531 00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:21,480 Speaker 1: the UK making their way across the country on a 532 00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:24,920 Speaker 1: one thousand mile walk that ends up in New York 533 00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:28,560 Speaker 1: City at ground zero as part of a Walking with 534 00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:32,720 Speaker 1: the Wounded Walk of America tour. They were here, met 535 00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:36,640 Speaker 1: with players, met with Coach Rabel. Those guys are excited 536 00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:38,320 Speaker 1: to be here, and I thought it was cool how 537 00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:42,240 Speaker 1: the players spent time with them afterward, thanking them for 538 00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:45,879 Speaker 1: their service, thanking them for coming. And then those guys 539 00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:49,960 Speaker 1: were big fans of the Titans and Derreck Kinry and 540 00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:52,879 Speaker 1: all these players that they were interacting with. It was 541 00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:55,400 Speaker 1: very cool to see. They seem very excited. And our 542 00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:58,040 Speaker 1: players love it when things like that happened and people 543 00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:00,480 Speaker 1: come out to practice and they get to show their 544 00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:03,440 Speaker 1: respect and their gratitude a little bit. Good stuff, Good 545 00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:07,080 Speaker 1: stuff overall. So any big plans for the day off work? 546 00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:09,480 Speaker 1: I plan on, yeah, doing a little bit of work 547 00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:13,639 Speaker 1: and a little bit of napping. Coach Rabel made a 548 00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:17,000 Speaker 1: point today that I am writing all the way through 549 00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:19,800 Speaker 1: the off day that when you are designated days of rest, 550 00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:24,320 Speaker 1: you should be resting. It's like the Lord's Day rest. 551 00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:29,080 Speaker 1: What about you, Jim, will you be writing? I gotta catchup. 552 00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:32,080 Speaker 1: I've got so many, so much transcribing to do, because 553 00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:34,080 Speaker 1: you know, talk to so many people here through the 554 00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:37,840 Speaker 1: first uh you know wave of training camp, and I've 555 00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:39,760 Speaker 1: got to sort through some of that stuff.
