I'm glad to and we're glad to have 10 00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:45,760 Speaker 1: Amy Wells back from Orlando and the Pro Bowl. Give 11 00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:48,640 Speaker 1: me give me a quick synopsis of the trip to Orlando. 12 00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:51,200 Speaker 1: What was good, what was bad? What was in between? Well, 13 00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:54,279 Speaker 1: it was a great trip. Um. All the guys there 14 00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:57,920 Speaker 1: were having an absolute blast. Derrick Henry described himself to 15 00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:02,000 Speaker 1: me as jolly. That is how good Derrick Henry was 16 00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:04,000 Speaker 1: feeling at the Pro Bowl. He is not a guy 17 00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:07,200 Speaker 1: who uses the word jolly very often, but that's how 18 00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:10,600 Speaker 1: he literally used the word. He said to me, Amy, 19 00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:16,240 Speaker 1: I am jolly, and I said that you are my friend. Yeah. 20 00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:19,039 Speaker 1: He was living his best life. Ryan Tannehill had so 21 00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:21,280 Speaker 1: much fun. His whole family was there, so they had 22 00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:24,240 Speaker 1: a really good time. I mean the proximity to Disney 23 00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:27,240 Speaker 1: is what makes it so special, especially for guys with 24 00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:31,160 Speaker 1: young families. Where did they practice at on Disney property? 25 00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:35,160 Speaker 1: Wide World of Sports? The ESPN Big facility that has 26 00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:38,240 Speaker 1: three hundred and sixty five practice fields, and I think 27 00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:40,240 Speaker 1: we walked across every single one of the will you 28 00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:42,560 Speaker 1: know there's something I worked there the first year that 29 00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:46,360 Speaker 1: was open. Really did a baseball tournament there the first 30 00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:49,280 Speaker 1: year before the Braves even started doing spring training there, 31 00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:52,440 Speaker 1: and it was when they were using in nineteen ninety eight, 32 00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:56,400 Speaker 1: the aluminum bats that were not deadened. I called a 33 00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:59,760 Speaker 1: Tennessee Duke baseball game that was twenty four to eighteen. 34 00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:03,560 Speaker 1: That's a lot of things I missed. I missed Space 35 00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:06,720 Speaker 1: Mountain and the teacups and everything because I was doing 36 00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:09,520 Speaker 1: five hour baseball games. That's crazy. But it is a 37 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:13,320 Speaker 1: great facility. Oh it's incredible, and it holds people so well. 38 00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:17,080 Speaker 1: There were so many Titans fans like it blew my 39 00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:19,120 Speaker 1: mind the amount of Titans fans because we've been going 40 00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:22,160 Speaker 1: to the Pro Bowl there for I think this was 41 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:26,280 Speaker 1: your four right now, and usually you'll see like one 42 00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:28,200 Speaker 1: or two kind of back in the back and you're 43 00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:30,600 Speaker 1: like yeah, and they're like, we didn't even know this 44 00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,359 Speaker 1: was here. We're coming to Disney World. Happened to stop by, 45 00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:37,040 Speaker 1: Like it's that kind of thing. This year, people, Titans 46 00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:40,480 Speaker 1: fans were intentional about coming. I saw tons of twenty 47 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:44,640 Speaker 1: two jerseys, seventeen jerseys, ninety nine jerseys. It was so 48 00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:48,359 Speaker 1: cool to see the fans that came out, and they 49 00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:50,840 Speaker 1: were all just so excited about the season that we 50 00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:54,040 Speaker 1: had had. Everybody stopped me and was just telling me 51 00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:59,160 Speaker 1: about how excited they were. People the ot people were 52 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:02,079 Speaker 1: coming out in full force. It really really was exciting 53 00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:05,480 Speaker 1: to look out and just see fans standing there or 54 00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:09,519 Speaker 1: fans walking with their families, and yeah, we had never 55 00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 1: seen that volume of Titans fans before, so that was 56 00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:15,840 Speaker 1: so so cool. Why do people watch the Pro Bowl, Coachmack. 57 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:18,080 Speaker 1: They get a chance to get up close and personal 58 00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:20,600 Speaker 1: with these players. I mean that's huge. Plus it's a 59 00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:23,280 Speaker 1: relaxed environment. I mean, I've coached in Pro Bowls before, 60 00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:25,600 Speaker 1: you know, I've done that, and it's Look, it's a 61 00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:28,320 Speaker 1: great environment, it really is, and I think they've got 62 00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:30,680 Speaker 1: it figured out down there. At Disney Now. As far 63 00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 1: as as to how to do it, it's pure. It's entertainment. 64 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,120 Speaker 1: It really is pure entertainment. But the kids can get 65 00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:39,200 Speaker 1: close to the players just is what you know, Amy says. 66 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:43,000 Speaker 1: The players are relaxed. I mean it's to me. I 67 00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:45,360 Speaker 1: mean I like it. You know, six years ago I 68 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:47,720 Speaker 1: didn't like it because it had gotten to the point 69 00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:50,840 Speaker 1: as toward the energy level of the players was really low. 70 00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 1: And that's when Roger Goodell stepped in, if you'll remember 71 00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:56,320 Speaker 1: about six seasons ago, said look, we can't have this, 72 00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:58,200 Speaker 1: you know, I mean, you know, the lack of just 73 00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:00,560 Speaker 1: the lack of effort, the energy. Let Well, this year 74 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:04,560 Speaker 1: I thought was really good. The players really enjoy being there. Well, 75 00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,880 Speaker 1: they enjoy being there and that makes a difference. And 76 00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:10,920 Speaker 1: the game is not your typical football game. I mean, 77 00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 1: you can't turn it on and think that you are 78 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:18,360 Speaker 1: going to witness a super like physical event. But I 79 00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:21,040 Speaker 1: watched the entire game and it was fine. Oh, you 80 00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:22,640 Speaker 1: should get a medal for that. I should get a 81 00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:26,560 Speaker 1: medal for that too. Yeah, I mean, so I'm the 82 00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:29,120 Speaker 1: only one that didn't. Yeah, maybe obviously you should get 83 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:32,760 Speaker 1: a demerit of some sorts. Maybe nice, thank you, um, 84 00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:37,440 Speaker 1: but it was it was entertaining to watch. You saw scoring, 85 00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:40,360 Speaker 1: you saw plays happening like it was a football game. 86 00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:43,200 Speaker 1: And I think it's the perfect venue for people who 87 00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:47,040 Speaker 1: are fans of players, not necessarily like I am a 88 00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:49,760 Speaker 1: fan of the Tennessee Titans, but I am a fan 89 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:52,840 Speaker 1: of Derrick Henry. I'm going to see Derrick Henry in 90 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:54,840 Speaker 1: a way that I don't normally get to see him. 91 00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:56,440 Speaker 1: And I think that that's a lot of the people 92 00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:58,680 Speaker 1: who come out to the Pro Bowl and who go 93 00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:01,120 Speaker 1: to those games is to have that opportunity to have 94 00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:04,040 Speaker 1: an interaction with a player that they're a fan of. 95 00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:07,919 Speaker 1: Not necessarily I just want to see DAFC do well. 96 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:11,240 Speaker 1: Like that doesn't happen, but people will go to have 97 00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:14,920 Speaker 1: an experience. The attraction for those who don't go watching 98 00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,280 Speaker 1: on television. You want to see how your guys did. 99 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:19,599 Speaker 1: And I wanted to see how did Ryan Tannehill do, 100 00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:23,280 Speaker 1: How did Jerald Casey do, how did Brett Kern do? 101 00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:25,839 Speaker 1: All of those guys and Derreck Henry for sure, but 102 00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:27,760 Speaker 1: I wanted to just to see, you know, did they 103 00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 1: have any wildcat for Derrick Henry? You know, because a 104 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:33,200 Speaker 1: lot of those things are on the table in a 105 00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:35,520 Speaker 1: relaxed format, like you said, coach, Yeah, it's just not 106 00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:38,080 Speaker 1: it's not You have to understand what it is and 107 00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:39,960 Speaker 1: get it in your mind, and I think for a while, 108 00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:42,479 Speaker 1: you know, because it used to be different. You know. 109 00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:45,320 Speaker 1: I've told the story on this podcast before about my 110 00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 1: time with Lawrence Taylor over there, when I mean we 111 00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:50,440 Speaker 1: were having to play for money, you know, And and 112 00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,040 Speaker 1: now I mean that everybody that they the money's up 113 00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:55,200 Speaker 1: there enough and the money is not what it used 114 00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:58,000 Speaker 1: to be. Used to be. Fifteen and twenty thousand dollars 115 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,200 Speaker 1: meant a lot, you know, as to what was going on. 116 00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:02,080 Speaker 1: But now I mean, you get it out of your 117 00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:04,479 Speaker 1: mind that it's a physical contest to begin with. It's 118 00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:07,479 Speaker 1: a skills contest, and you still get to watch your players. 119 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:10,320 Speaker 1: But the players, if they'll bring energy to it, which 120 00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:14,599 Speaker 1: they do, and police themselves, you know, and everybody understands 121 00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:17,320 Speaker 1: what it is. I liked it this year, I really did. 122 00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:20,160 Speaker 1: I liked it. Six seasons ago I did not like it. 123 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:23,360 Speaker 1: And the league step in, Roger Goodell step in, and 124 00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:26,480 Speaker 1: the NFLPA, the players police this. I mean, Amy can 125 00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:29,200 Speaker 1: tell you she's been there. The players police the Pro 126 00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:32,440 Speaker 1: Bowl the way but the way that that it's configured now, 127 00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:35,159 Speaker 1: I like it. So I need to give it another chance. 128 00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:37,760 Speaker 1: You do six years ago I gave up on it. 129 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,159 Speaker 1: Well six years goes awful, and you were and you 130 00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:43,080 Speaker 1: were right too. But you guys wouldn't tackle each other. 131 00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:45,800 Speaker 1: Well they still don't, don't. But that's not what you 132 00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:48,600 Speaker 1: so you're telling me. Guys still don't tackle each other, 133 00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:51,960 Speaker 1: and that's okay, it's way, okay, it's way. Okay. Look, 134 00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:54,640 Speaker 1: if you if you lose, if you lose Derek Henry 135 00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:57,240 Speaker 1: to a to a to a wrap up tackle in 136 00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:00,160 Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl, that's not good juju right that it's 137 00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:03,000 Speaker 1: not what you want. They're not they're trying to end 138 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:06,400 Speaker 1: each other's careers. I mean they're not. It is a 139 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:11,160 Speaker 1: high skilled flag football game minus the flags. But I'm 140 00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:14,200 Speaker 1: into it. That's that is I'm into all right. I 141 00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:15,760 Speaker 1: want to turn it to something else, though. So you've 142 00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:18,760 Speaker 1: been to the last four four or five, you've been 143 00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:20,440 Speaker 1: to all of them in Orleans. I've been to all 144 00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:22,320 Speaker 1: of them in Orleans. There is talk that the Pro 145 00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:25,160 Speaker 1: Bowl is moving to Las Vegas or Los Angeles, and 146 00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:28,040 Speaker 1: that they are going to do it like the Draft, 147 00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:30,840 Speaker 1: they're going to move it around. I know you're on 148 00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:33,760 Speaker 1: the Orlando Chamber of Commerce, but put that aside for 149 00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:38,800 Speaker 1: a second. Should they move it around? Is it good 150 00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:41,120 Speaker 1: for the league if they move the Pro Bowl around 151 00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:46,480 Speaker 1: based on not just the game the week? Yes, but yes, 152 00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:48,720 Speaker 1: but yes. I think it is good for the league 153 00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:51,520 Speaker 1: to move it around, to give people in other spaces 154 00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:54,800 Speaker 1: the ability to have this interaction with the National Football League, 155 00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:58,520 Speaker 1: especially because frankly, not everyone can afford a Disney vacation. 156 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:02,080 Speaker 1: Is a free event to go to the Pro Bowl 157 00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:04,720 Speaker 1: as it stands in Orlando right now, it's totally for you. 158 00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:07,440 Speaker 1: Just walk in, see everything, you can see, practice all that. 159 00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:10,800 Speaker 1: But if you're traveling from someplace else, you're paying Disney 160 00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:14,440 Speaker 1: money to do it. Basically you're staying on Disney property. 161 00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:17,680 Speaker 1: Most likely you're paying Disney prices for food. There's a 162 00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:21,200 Speaker 1: cost element there. So I think that it's so great 163 00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:23,320 Speaker 1: for other regions of fans to be able to have 164 00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:26,560 Speaker 1: this experience and have this interaction. I think the league 165 00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:30,040 Speaker 1: would have to temper its expectations in terms of turnout 166 00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:33,880 Speaker 1: a little bit because the Disney factor, again, having so 167 00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:37,160 Speaker 1: many people who are in Orlando already on a vacation. 168 00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:41,120 Speaker 1: They've planned this whole Disney magical experience. Oh and the 169 00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:43,720 Speaker 1: Pro bowls here, so they're able to package it together 170 00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:47,760 Speaker 1: and justify the trip overall because it's part of their vacation. 171 00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:50,400 Speaker 1: Taking it on the move. I don't know how many 172 00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:53,840 Speaker 1: families are taking family vacations to Las Vegas. Maybe a ton, 173 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:58,160 Speaker 1: maybe none, I don't know. But you're going to attract 174 00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:01,040 Speaker 1: a different clientele than those who just stumbled upon it 175 00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:03,040 Speaker 1: because they were coming to see the mouse down the road. 176 00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:06,080 Speaker 1: So I think that that's something that will be adjusted. 177 00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:08,240 Speaker 1: I think numbers will shift a little bit. But you 178 00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:11,160 Speaker 1: go to the Draft every year too, and you've seen 179 00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:16,440 Speaker 1: it in Dallas, in Philly, in Chicago, in Nashville. You've 180 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:19,840 Speaker 1: seen what it does moving the draft around, right, I 181 00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:23,000 Speaker 1: mean you have this perception that most of us don't 182 00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:25,880 Speaker 1: the perspective is a better way to put it. Yes, 183 00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:28,920 Speaker 1: So you do think it would be beneficial to move 184 00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:30,800 Speaker 1: it around. Oh, I think moving it would be a 185 00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:33,320 Speaker 1: great idea. And I think that the cool thing about 186 00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:35,680 Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl as opposed to something like the Draft 187 00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:38,480 Speaker 1: or the Combine or even the Super Bowl, it's way 188 00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:41,440 Speaker 1: more family centric. There's a lot more things for kids. 189 00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:44,200 Speaker 1: There's a lot more activations for a whole family to 190 00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:47,280 Speaker 1: be in part of. There's flag football tournaments. The skills 191 00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:50,480 Speaker 1: competition is super entertaining for kids because it's guys doing 192 00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,480 Speaker 1: wild and crazy things with their bodies and throwing things, 193 00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:57,479 Speaker 1: and it's all just very visual and very entertaining for families. 194 00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:01,840 Speaker 1: I get the impression. Rep. Brian disagrees. I don't. Actually 195 00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:05,760 Speaker 1: I'm talking about kids. It's weird. No, I actually think 196 00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:08,800 Speaker 1: it would be really neat to see it travel around. 197 00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:13,000 Speaker 1: Why not have the Pro Bowl in Nashville drafted really 198 00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:17,280 Speaker 1: well here. It's a way for the NFL to continue 199 00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:20,800 Speaker 1: its efforts and growing the fuel up to Play sixty 200 00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:23,360 Speaker 1: in the Play sixty initiative, which you take part in. 201 00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:28,680 Speaker 1: Absolutely Red has hosted those programs with our players when 202 00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:33,000 Speaker 1: you go to schools and with TRAC for how many years? What? Seven? 203 00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:35,840 Speaker 1: Seven years? Okay, So you have a different perspective to 204 00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:38,520 Speaker 1: it as well. That's interesting. But you that's what kind 205 00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:40,319 Speaker 1: of made me think of that, because you talked about 206 00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:43,120 Speaker 1: how the skills competition is and you know, the interaction 207 00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:46,319 Speaker 1: with the young fans. This is a place for them 208 00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:51,480 Speaker 1: to get basic football information, but more than that, being 209 00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:54,199 Speaker 1: active for sixty minutes every day, which is the foundation 210 00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:59,040 Speaker 1: of what that is the Play sixty initiative, and they 211 00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:01,800 Speaker 1: do a lot of Place sixty events. I think surrounding 212 00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:04,320 Speaker 1: these events like this, it would be great for that 213 00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:08,040 Speaker 1: and growing the next generation of NFL fans and while 214 00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:12,320 Speaker 1: encouraging activity and you know, correct decisions with diets and 215 00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:15,840 Speaker 1: choices and whatever, by seeing the people that they admire 216 00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:17,400 Speaker 1: so much on TV all the time. All right, So 217 00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:19,719 Speaker 1: I got the tough one for you, coach Dave mcguis. 218 00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:24,400 Speaker 1: I know you do combine. You love the Combine in 219 00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:29,520 Speaker 1: Indiana one of them. It's not it's it's a location 220 00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:33,200 Speaker 1: that cannot be matched in terms of convenience for the 221 00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:38,000 Speaker 1: football folks agree that it's one hundred percent perfect. Minneapolis 222 00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:41,600 Speaker 1: is probably the only city that could match it because 223 00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:43,480 Speaker 1: it is set up in a similar way and it's 224 00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:47,960 Speaker 1: downtown to Indianapolis, but probably not as well. Probably can't 225 00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:51,520 Speaker 1: do it as well. All right, take that out, take 226 00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:54,000 Speaker 1: out your take out your hat. As a football guy, 227 00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:59,000 Speaker 1: would it be beneficial for the NFL to move the Combine, 228 00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:02,600 Speaker 1: like the Draft and like the Pro Bowl to other 229 00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:05,640 Speaker 1: cities in terms of its market. I don't think so, okay, 230 00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:11,640 Speaker 1: because this year, hang on all, she just doesn't like Indianapolis. 231 00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:15,480 Speaker 1: If the Combine ever moves, my head will spin off 232 00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:18,520 Speaker 1: my body. Amy and I think a lot about a 233 00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:21,559 Speaker 1: lot of things we do. That's think we think alike. No, No, 234 00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:23,880 Speaker 1: I don't think it would be I mean that there's 235 00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:27,280 Speaker 1: to me, that's a totally it's a totally different look. 236 00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:30,200 Speaker 1: I mean, the entertainment value of the of the combine 237 00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:33,400 Speaker 1: is very minimal. I mean there's but they're changing it 238 00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:37,720 Speaker 1: this year to emphasize the entertainment even more. And that's 239 00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:40,400 Speaker 1: why it shouldn't move because people can watch it now. 240 00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:42,760 Speaker 1: They're moving at the prime time right so you can 241 00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:45,320 Speaker 1: watch it. So you know, why, why would you Why 242 00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:47,360 Speaker 1: would you want to change it? And you want me 243 00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:49,360 Speaker 1: to take the football aspect out of it, just put 244 00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:51,839 Speaker 1: the medical aspect of it in it. Do you understand 245 00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:55,040 Speaker 1: how convenient that is in Indianapolis. That was one of 246 00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:57,240 Speaker 1: the reasons they moved it there to begin with. When 247 00:12:57,280 --> 00:12:58,719 Speaker 1: I first got in the league, I mean, we had 248 00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:01,320 Speaker 1: one and we had one in New Orleans, we had 249 00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:04,440 Speaker 1: one in Phoenix, and it didn't work because of the 250 00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:06,760 Speaker 1: medical aspect of it. You've got to get all of 251 00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:09,760 Speaker 1: these three hundred and thirty guys through MRIs, through all 252 00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:12,760 Speaker 1: these tests. The medical set up there is perfect for it. 253 00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:15,400 Speaker 1: You can get guys back and forth, you know, from 254 00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:18,679 Speaker 1: interviews to I mean, that is perfect. And plus they've 255 00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:21,240 Speaker 1: got that thing Jinn and I say no for that. Okay, 256 00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:23,520 Speaker 1: So let's let's take it one different way. And this 257 00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:26,679 Speaker 1: is a yes or no question. Their deal is up. 258 00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:31,440 Speaker 1: Does the Combine move starting in twenty twenty one? Yes 259 00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:36,200 Speaker 1: or no? Rep? Bro I think yes. No. I say yes, 260 00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:39,439 Speaker 1: I think it moves. I think so too, But I 261 00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:41,880 Speaker 1: think it's going to be nightmare and I will be 262 00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:44,320 Speaker 1: very disappointed. I know. I'm not saying I'm not saying 263 00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:46,400 Speaker 1: you're wrong about that, and I'm not saying I wanted 264 00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:48,600 Speaker 1: to move. Because for us, for what we do, it's 265 00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:51,280 Speaker 1: the greatest set up in the history of mankind. For 266 00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:55,000 Speaker 1: the media, for the teams, for the doctors, for the players, 267 00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:59,400 Speaker 1: it is absolutely perfect. But I'm not sure the league 268 00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:02,480 Speaker 1: cares about that as much as it cares about how 269 00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:07,839 Speaker 1: do we sell it? Because the TV ratings are phenomenal 270 00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:12,320 Speaker 1: for this thing. The NFL wants to monetize, monetize well, 271 00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:14,319 Speaker 1: and show off some of the new places. They want 272 00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:15,719 Speaker 1: to take it to La they want to take it 273 00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:17,760 Speaker 1: to Vegas. They want to show off the new things 274 00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:20,920 Speaker 1: that they're doing. I get it, But like good gravy, 275 00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:25,440 Speaker 1: it's such a logistical nightmare when you move things like this. 276 00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:27,800 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm all for it in some regards, but 277 00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:30,880 Speaker 1: even with moving the draft year after year after year, 278 00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:34,080 Speaker 1: there's a lot of moving pieces, parts that have to 279 00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:37,560 Speaker 1: be recalibrated every time you move to a new city, 280 00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:41,560 Speaker 1: and it is a different type of chaos every time 281 00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:44,720 Speaker 1: you're trying to players in in Las Vegas during the 282 00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:48,000 Speaker 1: draft on like barges. Oh my gosh, somebody's gonna drown. 283 00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:55,080 Speaker 1: It's gonna be Yeah, someone's gonna jump into save people. 284 00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:57,920 Speaker 1: But there'll be some player take a commissioner with them. Well, 285 00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:00,520 Speaker 1: I mean, it's gonna take us, say and a half 286 00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:03,240 Speaker 1: hours to get to pick number twenty nine. You guys understand. 287 00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:05,840 Speaker 1: Logistics is not a problem though from the National Football League, 288 00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:08,400 Speaker 1: because the army of people that they bring in when 289 00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:11,240 Speaker 1: they descend upon a place. I mean, I've lived it 290 00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:13,880 Speaker 1: for thirty you guys lived it here. Why, I mean 291 00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:17,680 Speaker 1: they took over. They've got numbers. Logistics is not the problem. 292 00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:20,280 Speaker 1: I need them to have lifeguards, all right. So here's 293 00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:23,560 Speaker 1: the next topic. I have forwarded to the three of 294 00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:28,600 Speaker 1: you the Titans statistical comparisons from twenty eighteen to twenty nineteen. 295 00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:33,040 Speaker 1: It is obvious that the six point per game increase 296 00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:36,240 Speaker 1: in scoring is the team's biggest improvement. So I'm taking 297 00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:39,600 Speaker 1: that off the table, and I'm asking you what other 298 00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:44,560 Speaker 1: stat jumps out to you, either positively or negatively when 299 00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:47,720 Speaker 1: you compare twenty eighteen to twenty nineteen for the Tennessee 300 00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:51,600 Speaker 1: Titans to turnover ratio, it's huge. When you look at 301 00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:54,000 Speaker 1: all the teams that made it deep into the playoffs, 302 00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:56,640 Speaker 1: including the two teams that are in the Super Bowl. 303 00:15:57,160 --> 00:16:00,480 Speaker 1: Look at their giveaway takeaway. The Chiefs had played twenty 304 00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:03,480 Speaker 1: the forty nine ers at plus twelve. The Titans had 305 00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:07,360 Speaker 1: a plus seven improvement in that, and I forget, what 306 00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:09,000 Speaker 1: what do they have the year they went to the 307 00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:13,120 Speaker 1: playoffs in twenty seventeen season season they remind us that's 308 00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:17,560 Speaker 1: what I thought. I just you can't put enough emphasis 309 00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:20,600 Speaker 1: on the giveaway takeaway in terms of being in a 310 00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:24,200 Speaker 1: positive when you look at successful teams usually that was 311 00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:26,680 Speaker 1: one of the ear marks of being really good. And 312 00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:30,160 Speaker 1: that's the thing I like mine was the touchdown percentage 313 00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:34,320 Speaker 1: inside the twenty went up significantly, like twenty three percent, 314 00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:38,480 Speaker 1: and while overall scoring went inside the twenty went down 315 00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:41,520 Speaker 1: a little bit percentage wise. I would rather you get 316 00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:44,600 Speaker 1: in there and score more touchdowns. Like field goals are 317 00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:48,120 Speaker 1: special and good for generating small amounts of points, but 318 00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:51,680 Speaker 1: I want more touchdowns. Point differential. Point differential is one 319 00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:54,320 Speaker 1: of the biggest indicators in the National Football League. You 320 00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:57,520 Speaker 1: go point differential by by by conference, you go point 321 00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:00,960 Speaker 1: differential by by divisions. Point ferential is one of the biggest. 322 00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:02,960 Speaker 1: They were plus seventy one this year. They had the 323 00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:05,560 Speaker 1: best point differential in the AFC South. You want to 324 00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:08,120 Speaker 1: look at some teams that are still playing in this tournament, 325 00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:11,359 Speaker 1: New England, we beat them. They were plus one ninety 326 00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:15,359 Speaker 1: six point differential. Baltimore is plus two forty nine. Those 327 00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:18,119 Speaker 1: were two really good teams that the Titans beat. Kansas 328 00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:21,320 Speaker 1: City that still plays plus one forty three. San Francisco's 329 00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:23,480 Speaker 1: plus one sixty nine. You've got to be on the 330 00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:27,200 Speaker 1: plus side. They increase their point differential. That's huge. Wow, 331 00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:30,159 Speaker 1: they had the best point differential and the AFC. But 332 00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:33,960 Speaker 1: you two did great. But coach mac coach, so he 333 00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:36,200 Speaker 1: gets to go next first. He gets to go first 334 00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:38,760 Speaker 1: on the next one. Can't wait. The Titans two thousand 335 00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:43,720 Speaker 1: nineteen statistics are much more comparable to the Super Bowl teams, 336 00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:46,879 Speaker 1: the Chiefs in the forty nine ers then last year's 337 00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:49,679 Speaker 1: numbers win Compared to the Super Bowl teams, the Rams 338 00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:54,280 Speaker 1: and the Patriots. There are three spots where the Titans 339 00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:59,360 Speaker 1: fall short, however, third and fourth down conversions. Third down 340 00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:05,120 Speaker 1: conversion Chiefs forty eight percent six of ten on fourth downs, 341 00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:08,399 Speaker 1: forty nine Ers forty five percent on third down seven 342 00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:12,720 Speaker 1: of twelve on fourth down, Titans thirty eight percent third 343 00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:17,200 Speaker 1: down conversions just four of fourteen on fourth downs. Second 344 00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:21,280 Speaker 1: category pass defense Chiefs two twenty one allowed per game, 345 00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:26,040 Speaker 1: forty nine ers, one sixty nine allowed per game, Titans 346 00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:30,560 Speaker 1: two fifty five allowed per game. And then the final 347 00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:35,320 Speaker 1: category sacks against sacks allowed, which is known as sack 348 00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:38,679 Speaker 1: ray show in some people's terms. The Chiefs had a 349 00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:43,399 Speaker 1: plus twenty sack ray show. They sacked opposing quarterbacks forty 350 00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:48,040 Speaker 1: five times, allowed just twenty five sacks forty nine ers 351 00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:52,080 Speaker 1: plus twelve forty eight sacks. Thirty six sacks allowed the 352 00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:57,119 Speaker 1: Titans minus thirteen on sack Ray show forty three sacks. 353 00:18:57,160 --> 00:19:00,240 Speaker 1: That's a good number, but fifty six sacks allow out 354 00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:05,560 Speaker 1: Dave McGinnis. Improvement in which of these three areas could 355 00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:08,920 Speaker 1: make the Titans significantly better in twenty twenty. Third down 356 00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:13,000 Speaker 1: third downs. Huge. Third down affects your sacks also because 357 00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:15,960 Speaker 1: if you're if you're behind the chains in third down, 358 00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:19,159 Speaker 1: if you go third and seven plus, you know, fifty 359 00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:22,760 Speaker 1: three percent of the time or more, okay, you're putting yourself. Look, 360 00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:25,000 Speaker 1: I've called defenses in this league for a lot. If 361 00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:27,040 Speaker 1: I've got somebody in third and seven plus, I can 362 00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:29,399 Speaker 1: do a lot of things creatively to go after you. 363 00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:32,080 Speaker 1: Your sack percentage that you've given up is going to 364 00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:34,520 Speaker 1: go way up if you're in third and seven plus 365 00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:36,960 Speaker 1: a lot. You you improve your third down. I didn't 366 00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:39,399 Speaker 1: care about fourth down. I really don't, because if you 367 00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:41,119 Speaker 1: improve your third downs, you're not going to be in 368 00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:44,639 Speaker 1: that many must go for fourth down situations. It just 369 00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:48,520 Speaker 1: statistically proves out over the years. Improve your third down 370 00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:52,040 Speaker 1: conversion percentage, that's what they have to do. Well. I 371 00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:55,439 Speaker 1: say improve your sack ratio, and then your quarterback is 372 00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:59,000 Speaker 1: still standing, so he can maybe convert more third downs, 373 00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:01,800 Speaker 1: or maybe he can make bigger plays, and maybe he 374 00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:04,840 Speaker 1: can play for a full season and not get injured 375 00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:07,560 Speaker 1: at all. Like project the quarterback and the world is 376 00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:10,920 Speaker 1: your oyster. Well, this is a chicken and an egg thing. 377 00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:13,119 Speaker 1: But I'm gonna give you the chicken, which is the truth. 378 00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:15,080 Speaker 1: If you're not in third and long, they can't rush 379 00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:17,520 Speaker 1: you like they can. It's hard to put defenses. And 380 00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:20,639 Speaker 1: when you're calling defense and you're in conflict situations, you 381 00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:22,520 Speaker 1: got to play run pass. You can't go after a 382 00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:26,520 Speaker 1: quarterback as much third and seven plus game game on. 383 00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:30,679 Speaker 1: That's exactly what I circled when you sent this to 384 00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:36,240 Speaker 1: me yesterday. Third down That's exactly what it is. And 385 00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:38,480 Speaker 1: I'm with you two Mac. I don't care about fourth 386 00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:40,879 Speaker 1: down because if you're doing well in third down, it 387 00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:46,560 Speaker 1: doesn't matter. Third down percentage is where it is. All right, interesting, 388 00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:51,159 Speaker 1: go with that. Let's go to otp qs. I've got some. 389 00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:54,400 Speaker 1: I'm skipping ahead just a little bit. Amy Wells provides 390 00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:58,000 Speaker 1: otp qus through the fan base, the ot people who 391 00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:01,240 Speaker 1: send these in tightens online and dot com slash O 392 00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:04,600 Speaker 1: T p Q and we will get them and we 393 00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:08,800 Speaker 1: will ask. This one is from Peter in Colorado Springs. Hello, Peter, 394 00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:12,680 Speaker 1: you're on the air. On the air and Colorado, Colorado's Springs. 395 00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:14,400 Speaker 1: You're on with Larry King. Go ahead, you know what's 396 00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:26,800 Speaker 1: coming here with Gwen Stefani. Go ahead. Oh okay, Peter 397 00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:31,120 Speaker 1: in Colorado Springs asks. On the defensive side of the ball, 398 00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:34,000 Speaker 1: the Titans were twelfth overall and points allowed per game 399 00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:37,480 Speaker 1: during the regular season. The Titans defense was ranked much 400 00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:40,840 Speaker 1: lower than that on things like passing yards allowed per game. 401 00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:44,359 Speaker 1: Why was there such a drastic difference between these numbers 402 00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:46,280 Speaker 1: and what do we need to do to become a 403 00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:49,720 Speaker 1: better defense? Macam? Starting with you, yards allowed me nothing. 404 00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:51,840 Speaker 1: You know with the change in the in the in 405 00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:54,439 Speaker 1: the rules in the National Football League once they started 406 00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:56,800 Speaker 1: turning it into where you can only touch them after five, 407 00:21:57,040 --> 00:22:00,960 Speaker 1: don't even worry about yards. Yards mean exactly zero. Close 408 00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:02,560 Speaker 1: your eyes. Tell me what you see when you're looking 409 00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:05,720 Speaker 1: at the National Football League game as relevancy. It's the 410 00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:09,120 Speaker 1: least relevant stat in the history of the world. It 411 00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:11,800 Speaker 1: really is. So just take yards completely out of it. 412 00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:15,440 Speaker 1: That that doesn't they don't even matter, because look, if 413 00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:17,840 Speaker 1: people can get garbage yards at the end of the game, 414 00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:20,840 Speaker 1: that as coaches, we call those those offensive coaches that 415 00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:23,360 Speaker 1: do that stat grabbers because it makes them look good 416 00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:25,399 Speaker 1: on the resume. You mean the guy who runs the 417 00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:27,119 Speaker 1: draw at the end of the first half to get 418 00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:29,679 Speaker 1: extra yarrestory yards rushing and all of a sudden you 419 00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:31,720 Speaker 1: say we rushed for four point seven. No you didn't. 420 00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:35,520 Speaker 1: But anyway, all of those things don't. Yard eache does 421 00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:38,840 Speaker 1: not matter. Points matter in the National Football League. When 422 00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:40,440 Speaker 1: when at the end of the ball game they said, 423 00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:42,719 Speaker 1: you know what, you only had twelve points, but you 424 00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:44,920 Speaker 1: but you have four hundred and seventy yards, you win. 425 00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:48,440 Speaker 1: It's not what happens in National Football League. All right, Rat, 426 00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:52,720 Speaker 1: I'm gonna send this one to you first, Kenneth in Memphis, Tennessee. Hello, Memphis, 427 00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:59,640 Speaker 1: are on the instance information. Give me Memphis Tennessee. Turner, 428 00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:03,200 Speaker 1: how much coffee? All right? He says, what a great 429 00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:06,280 Speaker 1: year for the team. Despite the heartbreaking loss. Most of 430 00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:08,439 Speaker 1: what I've seen on social media wasn't anger at the 431 00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:11,240 Speaker 1: coaches or players on the game. It was sadness that 432 00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:14,000 Speaker 1: the ride is over. But there's been a lot of 433 00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:17,520 Speaker 1: off seven off season talk on how we could get 434 00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:20,919 Speaker 1: back there like the twenty eighteen Chiefs as opposed to 435 00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:23,960 Speaker 1: becoming the twenty seventeen Jags. There was some shade there 436 00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:26,960 Speaker 1: and I liked it. If you were John Robinson, what 437 00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:33,360 Speaker 1: is your number one priority this offseason? I mean you've 438 00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:36,080 Speaker 1: got a number one is you have to take care 439 00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:39,000 Speaker 1: of your own list of free agents, which is long 440 00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:42,240 Speaker 1: nineteen I think we counted, and you got to figure 441 00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:44,600 Speaker 1: out what you want to do there. You got to 442 00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:47,640 Speaker 1: figure out whether you want to resign Ryan Tannehill, which 443 00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:50,080 Speaker 1: I do believe the answer is yes. Sitting here right 444 00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:52,840 Speaker 1: now and with Derrick Henry and you know, you got 445 00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:55,040 Speaker 1: to figure out, you know, your right tackle with Jack Hollin. 446 00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:57,960 Speaker 1: But you have to. You have procured this talent, you 447 00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:00,800 Speaker 1: have grown this talent. The cry is there, are you 448 00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:03,080 Speaker 1: going to retain that crop or not before you do 449 00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:05,439 Speaker 1: anything else? That's absolutely right. I mean that's what you 450 00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:07,600 Speaker 1: have to do. The way the National Football League is 451 00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:09,920 Speaker 1: set up, it's set up for free agency, it's set 452 00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:11,880 Speaker 1: up with a salary cap. You've got to be able 453 00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:14,800 Speaker 1: to maneuver that every year. But you don't just do 454 00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:18,359 Speaker 1: it at this point, You've already made plans prior. Good 455 00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:21,440 Speaker 1: franchises have these things in place. You've got these guys 456 00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:24,000 Speaker 1: that are up. You got to address that first. The 457 00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:26,800 Speaker 1: people have spoken, the ot people have spoken. By the way, 458 00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:29,600 Speaker 1: super Bowl this weekend.

Got a free hot dog 496 00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:57,280 Speaker 1: at that game, which is a big deal at a 497 00:26:57,359 --> 00:27:00,440 Speaker 1: Super Bowl. Two hundred and eighty seven yards passing and 498 00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:03,560 Speaker 1: three touchdowns. So they're gonna play at hard Rock Stadium 499 00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:07,679 Speaker 1: this Sunday. By the way, this is the eleventh Super 500 00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:11,520 Speaker 1: Bowl in Miami. There's a reason for that. The last 501 00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:14,480 Speaker 1: one was Super Bowl forty four, so it's been ten years. 502 00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:17,520 Speaker 1: Can you name who won the last one in Miami? 503 00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:21,359 Speaker 1: New Orleans thirty one to seventeen over Indianapolis. Let me 504 00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:22,800 Speaker 1: tell you something about what's going on down there in 505 00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:24,560 Speaker 1: Miami right now. Have you seen that where they've got 506 00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:28,080 Speaker 1: these uh it's like the robo vacuums in your house. Yeah, 507 00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:30,959 Speaker 1: these movable heaters that are moving around the field right 508 00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:35,399 Speaker 1: forget to grow grass because the new overhangs that they 509 00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:38,160 Speaker 1: built right have shaded it. And so they've got they've 510 00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:41,199 Speaker 1: got these things that are moving around like grass growers 511 00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:43,280 Speaker 1: that on their own that heat the field so that 512 00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:46,000 Speaker 1: it can grow little rumba heaters, the ruba heater. Let's 513 00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:48,560 Speaker 1: see how good Amy Wells is. The last time the 514 00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:53,160 Speaker 1: Super Bowl was played in Miami, Super Bowl forty four, 515 00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:56,960 Speaker 1: which was in twenty ten. Who sang the national anthem? 516 00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:04,199 Speaker 1: Two ten? Who sang that she's still very famous? I 517 00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:06,800 Speaker 1: don't know, no, same name. I don't want to say. 518 00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:10,399 Speaker 1: Would you say your name? No? Was it no? Was 519 00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:13,719 Speaker 1: it Mariah Carey? No? Was it a girl? Yes? Was 520 00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:18,560 Speaker 1: it um Share? No? Has Share ever sung the national asthem? 521 00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:20,919 Speaker 1: I don't think watch it she has now? Since you 522 00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:24,320 Speaker 1: said yeah, Carriewood, Oh that's a good one. What do 523 00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:28,320 Speaker 1: we think you being the millennial here? What do you 524 00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:31,520 Speaker 1: think about Demi Levado singing the national anthem? Did you 525 00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:35,320 Speaker 1: see her at the Grammys? No, I'm just totly smokes. 526 00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:38,280 Speaker 1: I am all in on Demi Levado. I'm actually a 527 00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:40,960 Speaker 1: little bit bummed that I'm not going to be the 528 00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:43,480 Speaker 1: same space mat Can you remember who sang the national 529 00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:48,240 Speaker 1: anthem last year? No? Gladys Night? Yeah? No, I didn't 530 00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:50,640 Speaker 1: remember that, but some of them I was so I 531 00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:52,840 Speaker 1: was going back through some of them just for fun. 532 00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:57,880 Speaker 1: Lady Gaga was my favorite. Lady Alicia Keys was great. 533 00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:01,440 Speaker 1: At the first Super Bowl, the Chiefs were in the 534 00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:05,280 Speaker 1: Pride of Arizona. The Michigan Marching Band in the UCLA 535 00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:09,760 Speaker 1: Choir did the national anthem. The last time the Chiefs 536 00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:14,040 Speaker 1: were there at two Lane Stadium, I'll hurt the famous 537 00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:17,320 Speaker 1: trumpet tier. Yes I said that right. Did he sang 538 00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:20,320 Speaker 1: the national anthem? No, he'd played his trumpet right, so 539 00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:24,719 Speaker 1: they didn't sing. That's correct. Also played the trumpet at 540 00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:28,520 Speaker 1: Jack Murphys Stadium, Yes he did, and that was Super 541 00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:31,640 Speaker 1: Bowl twenty two. Co founder of A and M Records. Yeah. 542 00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:36,920 Speaker 1: The Beyonce was at Super Bowl thirty eight in Houston 543 00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:41,520 Speaker 1: because she's from Amston. Yeah. Yeah, the most interesting one, 544 00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:43,600 Speaker 1: and going back and looking at this, that would have 545 00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:48,840 Speaker 1: never gotten super Bowl fourteen in Pasadena, Cheryl Ladd did 546 00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:50,680 Speaker 1: the national anthem, and of course she was one of 547 00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:53,200 Speaker 1: Charlie's angels. I would have never remembered that were the 548 00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:56,680 Speaker 1: other angels there. This was a solo gig. This was 549 00:29:56,720 --> 00:30:01,520 Speaker 1: a solo out there. That's hey, that's some great info. 550 00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:04,960 Speaker 1: Thank Wow, yeah, how about that. They'll only get that 551 00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:07,400 Speaker 1: on the ot get that on the That's some great info. 552 00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:10,000 Speaker 1: I'll not remember one bit of it a couple of 553 00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:14,120 Speaker 1: days off. All right, Coach Mack, it's time for what's brewing? 554 00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:17,200 Speaker 1: Since you've been and I think, honestly Coach Mack's best 555 00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:20,080 Speaker 1: OTP ever, I mean probably that means the other ones 556 00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:24,320 Speaker 1: have been bad. No MVP of the OTP today, Coach 557 00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:28,520 Speaker 1: Dave McGinnis. What's brewing? Here's the thing we've talked about, 558 00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:31,080 Speaker 1: the combine. Yes, it's been there in Indianapolis since nineteen 559 00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:33,600 Speaker 1: eighty seven, Yes it is. Kate been to every one 560 00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:36,000 Speaker 1: of them. But they're they've they've changed very little. I mean, 561 00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:39,280 Speaker 1: they changed the fact that that you'd quit having to 562 00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:43,320 Speaker 1: go gather players, they organized the interviews. But there's two 563 00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:46,360 Speaker 1: major changes, you know, you know coming this year each 564 00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:48,680 Speaker 1: team this year, you used to have sixty interviews with 565 00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:51,480 Speaker 1: fifteen minute intervals. Now you're going to have forty five 566 00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:54,280 Speaker 1: with eighteen minute intervals. And the reason they're doing that 567 00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:57,000 Speaker 1: because the events moved to primetime. Okay, just what you've 568 00:30:57,040 --> 00:31:00,000 Speaker 1: already mentioned. Instead of workouts in the morning and afternoon, 569 00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:02,479 Speaker 1: each position group will be on the field at Lucas 570 00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:08,960 Speaker 1: Oil Stadium between four eastern and eleven eastern Thursday through Saturday, 571 00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:12,640 Speaker 1: and then on Sunday, the last day, then the workouts 572 00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:15,160 Speaker 1: will be from two pm Eastern to seven pm Eastern. 573 00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:18,080 Speaker 1: That's a huge change. It's a huge change. It's three 574 00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:19,960 Speaker 1: it's it's a little over three and a half hours 575 00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:23,480 Speaker 1: less of interview time. And so what that is necessitated. 576 00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:25,400 Speaker 1: Of course, this was made back in May. It got 577 00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:28,400 Speaker 1: buried a little bit. This was made. So what the 578 00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:31,760 Speaker 1: scouting departments have done now they they've at the Senior Bowl, 579 00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:34,360 Speaker 1: They've probably up the number of people they're interviewing at 580 00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:37,200 Speaker 1: the Senior Bowl. And this is also going to necessitate 581 00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:39,960 Speaker 1: some more campus visits. That's what that will do. But 582 00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:42,760 Speaker 1: that's the two major changes. That's what's brewing at the 583 00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:46,320 Speaker 1: combine this year. What's brewing with me is that I 584 00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:52,400 Speaker 1: never realized how unbelievably pervasive and just all encompassing the 585 00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:55,360 Speaker 1: Super Bowl is until I was angry at it. I 586 00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:57,920 Speaker 1: am angry at the Super Bowl this year. I want 587 00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:00,920 Speaker 1: to be there. I didn't feel these motions until I 588 00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:03,600 Speaker 1: saw the video of the planes landing in Miami and 589 00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:06,000 Speaker 1: the team's getting off and we were doing that like 590 00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:09,440 Speaker 1: a week ago, and it just it all hit me 591 00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:11,800 Speaker 1: in a wave, and I want nothing to do with it. 592 00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:13,920 Speaker 1: I don't want to know what people are making on 593 00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:17,000 Speaker 1: Food Network for their little recipes. I don't want to 594 00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:20,560 Speaker 1: know what the people on Bravo think and they're little commentary. 595 00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:22,800 Speaker 1: I don't want to watch the Puppy Bowl. God bless 596 00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:24,800 Speaker 1: those puppies, but I don't want to watch it, like 597 00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:27,400 Speaker 1: I don't want to see your decorating tips. I don't 598 00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:29,600 Speaker 1: want to hear your funny little jokes about it. I 599 00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:33,120 Speaker 1: do not care. And it's everywhere. There are signs, there 600 00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:36,280 Speaker 1: are grocery store displays, It's on every channel, it's on 601 00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:39,800 Speaker 1: the local news and national news. It's everywhere. And I 602 00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:44,080 Speaker 1: didn't realize how big one sporting event was and how 603 00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:47,280 Speaker 1: many people it touched outside of the world of sports, 604 00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:49,840 Speaker 1: because for us, it's always been like, oh, I want 605 00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:51,960 Speaker 1: to go the Super Bowl, but we also our whole 606 00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:54,840 Speaker 1: lives revolve around the Super Bowl. There are so many 607 00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:58,400 Speaker 1: people outside of the National Football League who get involved 608 00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:01,640 Speaker 1: in this in some way. It's selling merchandise, coming up 609 00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:05,560 Speaker 1: with food, they're different restaurant promotions. It's everywhere, and all 610 00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:07,920 Speaker 1: I want is for it to go away because I 611 00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:09,840 Speaker 1: don't want to deal with it this year. I am 612 00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:13,480 Speaker 1: mad that we're not there. The better teams are there, 613 00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:16,120 Speaker 1: but I want to be there. I'm salty, I'm jealous. 614 00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:19,080 Speaker 1: All of these emotions are real, and I cannot escape it. 615 00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:22,080 Speaker 1: It's everywhere. That's what's brewing with me. Super Bowl is 616 00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:24,360 Speaker 1: kind of a big deal. Well it's a really big deal, 617 00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:27,400 Speaker 1: but I never realized it. I realized it was a 618 00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:29,640 Speaker 1: big deal for me because I wanted to have that 619 00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:32,560 Speaker 1: experience of being with a team and winning the Super Bowl. 620 00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:34,880 Speaker 1: I didn't realize how big of a deal it was 621 00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:38,320 Speaker 1: for people who aren't in this world. It feels all 622 00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:40,840 Speaker 1: encompassing to me, because would you go if you knew 623 00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:44,479 Speaker 1: you were going to lose? Yeah? I would go if 624 00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:48,520 Speaker 1: I knew I was going to wait yea, yeah, there's 625 00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:51,880 Speaker 1: almost part of me, see I see when people ask 626 00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:54,120 Speaker 1: me what my goal is, I always say I want 627 00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:58,880 Speaker 1: to go win the Super Bowl because having lost one, wow, miserable. 628 00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:02,400 Speaker 1: But you had the whole week. You had the pageantry, 629 00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:05,200 Speaker 1: you had the excitement, you were there, you experienced it, 630 00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:08,719 Speaker 1: you lived it, you had the opportunity I've lost two 631 00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:12,160 Speaker 1: AFC Championship games now and I don't like that philadophy. 632 00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:15,520 Speaker 1: I'm not enjoying. Okay, Reet Brian, what's brewing with you? 633 00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:18,040 Speaker 1: And are you as salty as Aby? Well? Can I 634 00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:20,440 Speaker 1: say this for Ret Starter, I'm as salty as she is. 635 00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:23,839 Speaker 1: I know I am coming in hot. I have had 636 00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:26,160 Speaker 1: a few days to decompress, so I'm not as salty, 637 00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:29,600 Speaker 1: but the salt level is still near. It's near atle 638 00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:34,640 Speaker 1: more ballots his saline levels or yeah, because I'm with you. 639 00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:37,040 Speaker 1: It just a few days ago we were still on 640 00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:39,640 Speaker 1: that Merry Go round, And how I wish it was 641 00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:41,640 Speaker 1: still going on right now in Miami for the two 642 00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:45,680 Speaker 1: Tone Blue, but it's not so. Eighty five days from now, 643 00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:49,960 Speaker 1: the NFL Draft will take place in Las Vegas. It's 644 00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:53,280 Speaker 1: that close to be in here, and it's my favorite 645 00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:54,919 Speaker 1: time of the year. Coach MC and I are about 646 00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:57,480 Speaker 1: to take a deep dive and look into prospects of 647 00:34:57,600 --> 00:35:03,360 Speaker 1: all shaped, length sizes and position groups. Ninety nine underclassman declared, 648 00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:06,120 Speaker 1: it's a wide receiver in running back heaven. If you 649 00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:08,000 Speaker 1: looked at what the wide receivers did at the Senior 650 00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:12,640 Speaker 1: Bowl last week, Loaded, Loaded, quarterbacks to choose from good 651 00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:15,600 Speaker 1: Year for tackles, edge rushers two, which I know the 652 00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:17,440 Speaker 1: Titans probably are going to be looking at some of 653 00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:22,200 Speaker 1: those things. Cornerback draft is good too. Really looking forward 654 00:35:22,239 --> 00:35:25,080 Speaker 1: to the next few weeks that leads up to the 655 00:35:25,239 --> 00:35:29,120 Speaker 1: NFL Draft April twenty third. Of course, Titans Radio will 656 00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:32,920 Speaker 1: have a lot of coverage in that, but that's what 657 00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:35,080 Speaker 1: I have to look forward to. I guess to lower 658 00:35:35,120 --> 00:35:37,840 Speaker 1: the saline level, as you say, usually done, because the 659 00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:40,359 Speaker 1: draft is one of my favorite times of the year. 660 00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:43,360 Speaker 1: It's the architecture of teams in this thing. It's the 661 00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:45,759 Speaker 1: reason that one of the biggest things John Robinson has 662 00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:47,759 Speaker 1: on his to do list is looking at his own 663 00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:52,080 Speaker 1: free agents. He procured those. This was the process, all right. 664 00:35:52,120 --> 00:35:55,960 Speaker 1: So my what's brewing is another and I apologize for 665 00:35:55,960 --> 00:35:59,359 Speaker 1: a repeat, but it's another. Please stop. Oh I love 666 00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:05,440 Speaker 1: a good please stop. Okay. So I've been watching the 667 00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:10,200 Speaker 1: national shows and listening to the different shows, and I 668 00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:14,400 Speaker 1: probably shouldn't get a local national in between regional whatever. 669 00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:19,120 Speaker 1: And I've heard this theory that's been floated that if 670 00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:22,520 Speaker 1: the Titans had started Ryan Tannehill from the start of 671 00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:27,560 Speaker 1: the season, they might be in the Super Bowl. Please stop, 672 00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:33,680 Speaker 1: Please stop, because here's the thing. You can't generalize the 673 00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:37,920 Speaker 1: specifics of the history of what happened. For the majority 674 00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:40,400 Speaker 1: of people who contend this and people who have asked 675 00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:44,480 Speaker 1: me this on national shows, you weren't here. You don't 676 00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:48,520 Speaker 1: know what was going on. You weren't at practice. Marcus 677 00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:51,520 Speaker 1: Mariota was this team's quarterback. He was not going to 678 00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:54,680 Speaker 1: lose the job. In training camp, Ryan Tannehill look good? 679 00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:57,200 Speaker 1: Would you agree, rat he did? Would you agree, Amy? Yes? 680 00:36:57,200 --> 00:36:59,919 Speaker 1: Would you agree? Coach? Yes, he looked good, But most 681 00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:03,239 Speaker 1: he was working against backups. When he went into the 682 00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:08,359 Speaker 1: preseason game playing against backups, thank you. So he looked great. 683 00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:12,440 Speaker 1: He outperformed Marcus Mariota in the preseason. No, he didn't. 684 00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:17,480 Speaker 1: He did because he wasn't playing against the same competition. 685 00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:21,719 Speaker 1: So Marcus Mariota starts the first game, the Titans win 686 00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:27,240 Speaker 1: in Cleveland over the preseason Super Bowl champions, the Cleveland 687 00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:35,120 Speaker 1: thirty points. He throws three touchdown passes. The next week 688 00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:39,320 Speaker 1: he plays poorly against Indianapolis. Well, you're not going to 689 00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:41,759 Speaker 1: demote him after two games, and you're not going to 690 00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:44,879 Speaker 1: demote him before you go play on Thursday, night. So 691 00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:48,480 Speaker 1: then he doesn't play well in Jacksonville. Okay, so maybe 692 00:37:48,520 --> 00:37:51,880 Speaker 1: you're thinking about pulling the trigger at Atlanta. I don't know, 693 00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:53,560 Speaker 1: but maybe you are. What does he do? He goes 694 00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:55,680 Speaker 1: out in the first half and plays grade at Atlanta, 695 00:37:55,840 --> 00:37:58,759 Speaker 1: Titans win. We're not going to pull him after that. 696 00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:03,000 Speaker 1: So then you play Buffalo. He plays port he did, 697 00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:07,320 Speaker 1: and so then you have in your mind, we're thinking 698 00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:10,839 Speaker 1: about taking our quarterback out, which when he didn't play 699 00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:15,440 Speaker 1: well at Denver, they did. It happened as if it 700 00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:19,720 Speaker 1: had to happen, and so the revisionist history, please stop, 701 00:38:20,280 --> 00:38:22,920 Speaker 1: please stop with the Titans would have been twelve and 702 00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:26,359 Speaker 1: fort No, they wouldn't have. It's just not how it 703 00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:29,960 Speaker 1: worked out. If you were here watching it every single day, 704 00:38:30,080 --> 00:38:34,640 Speaker 1: please stop. Please know the real story before you get 705 00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:38,600 Speaker 1: into it. Mariota was a quarterback. It didn't work. He 706 00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:41,280 Speaker 1: got a fair shot. Nobody can say that he didn't. 707 00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:44,600 Speaker 1: And then Tannehill took over and it went a lot better. 708 00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:49,480 Speaker 1: But Tannehill was acquired to be the backup. That was 709 00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:52,360 Speaker 1: the plan all along, and they were gonna see what 710 00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:55,440 Speaker 1: happened with Mariota and if that didn't work, then Tannehill 711 00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:57,480 Speaker 1: was going to be the quarterback and guess what, that's 712 00:38:57,520 --> 00:39:02,279 Speaker 1: what happened. Please stop with the well if this had 713 00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:06,279 Speaker 1: gone on differently, because there was nothing that anybody saw 714 00:39:06,520 --> 00:39:09,319 Speaker 1: or that happened that would have made you make a 715 00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:13,359 Speaker 1: full decision as a responsible NFL franchise before then. If 716 00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:16,960 Speaker 1: I'm doing Fantasy League, maybe, but in terms of the 717 00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:20,440 Speaker 1: reality of what goes on with an NFL team, no chance. 718 00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:23,160 Speaker 1: You know, you gave me a high grade from my 719 00:39:23,600 --> 00:39:27,879 Speaker 1: uh OTP today. That's your best police stop. Not pretty good? 720 00:39:29,520 --> 00:39:31,960 Speaker 1: Pretty good. I love, I really do, and I love 721 00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:34,959 Speaker 1: talking about the Titans, and I love but but that's 722 00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:37,600 Speaker 1: just not true. I mean, if you if you want 723 00:39:37,640 --> 00:39:40,480 Speaker 1: to criticize certain other things, fine, and there were there 724 00:39:40,520 --> 00:39:43,960 Speaker 1: were plenty of things to criticize about. But Mike Vrabel 725 00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:45,719 Speaker 1: said it. He said at two and four, this was 726 00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:48,000 Speaker 1: a bad team and I was a bad guy. He did. 727 00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:50,120 Speaker 1: He didn't say it was a bad Marcus Mariota. He 728 00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:52,560 Speaker 1: didn't say it was a better Bryan Tannehill, that's what 729 00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:55,880 Speaker 1: you do. Well. But I just keep hearing these people know, 730 00:39:56,120 --> 00:39:58,160 Speaker 1: and it's like, well, they'd have been five and one 731 00:39:58,200 --> 00:40:00,719 Speaker 1: at that point, No, they wouldn't. Well, and let's go. 732 00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:03,480 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Rid I've been asked the same question because 733 00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:07,920 Speaker 1: I've been on the radio around the country too, and 734 00:40:08,040 --> 00:40:12,200 Speaker 1: my response is very similar to yours. My first response is, 735 00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:15,000 Speaker 1: you don't know what's going on. You didn't know what's 736 00:40:15,040 --> 00:40:18,439 Speaker 1: going on, which you so eloquently. I don't know about 737 00:40:18,440 --> 00:40:20,480 Speaker 1: the point. Yeah you did. I said your best one, 738 00:40:20,719 --> 00:40:23,719 Speaker 1: your best, your best. But that is so good. I 739 00:40:23,800 --> 00:40:25,960 Speaker 1: wish it. Well, we'll do this is on this this 740 00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:28,040 Speaker 1: is recorded right sort of? Yeah, put it on my 741 00:40:28,080 --> 00:40:32,040 Speaker 1: phone so the next I can just stick it up here. 742 00:40:32,160 --> 00:40:35,840 Speaker 1: Please stop. Here's the answer. And then the revisionist history, 743 00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:39,600 Speaker 1: as you say, who's to say Ryan Tannehill wouldn't have 744 00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:42,040 Speaker 1: been injured with the way the offensive line was, there 745 00:40:42,120 --> 00:40:44,560 Speaker 1: was no table of the wine, and Jack Conston had 746 00:40:44,600 --> 00:40:47,280 Speaker 1: not gotten to where he was all half the season. 747 00:40:47,520 --> 00:40:51,120 Speaker 1: It all happened as it happened for a reason, right, 748 00:40:51,719 --> 00:40:55,239 Speaker 1: And this is where we are at this point, and 749 00:40:55,360 --> 00:40:58,839 Speaker 1: that's it is what it is, which is a good place, 750 00:40:58,920 --> 00:41:02,360 Speaker 1: which is a really good The Titans are in a 751 00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:05,600 Speaker 1: really good place and ended up having a better year 752 00:41:05,640 --> 00:41:09,839 Speaker 1: than many expected. And it was fulfilling in so many 753 00:41:09,880 --> 00:41:13,560 Speaker 1: different ways. And I think It lays out what John 754 00:41:13,560 --> 00:41:15,879 Speaker 1: and Mike want to look like as a football team. 755 00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:19,600 Speaker 1: I think if we've been talking about on this show 756 00:41:19,640 --> 00:41:23,560 Speaker 1: and other shows, what they want to be, what you 757 00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:26,520 Speaker 1: saw down the stretch and in the playoffs is what 758 00:41:26,560 --> 00:41:28,279 Speaker 1: they want to be. And guess what. They won't win 759 00:41:28,320 --> 00:41:31,280 Speaker 1: every game doing that, Nobody in the NFL does. It's hard. 760 00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:34,759 Speaker 1: But will they win more of them? Will then they lose? Yes? 761 00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:37,800 Speaker 1: And the number one goal for twenty twenty is very simple, 762 00:41:37,920 --> 00:41:42,600 Speaker 1: home playoff game, very simple. Everybody's number one goal is 763 00:41:42,600 --> 00:41:45,560 Speaker 1: win the Super Bowl. All thirty two teams, not everybody, 764 00:41:45,719 --> 00:41:48,280 Speaker 1: Not everybody's gonna even have a chance. But this team's 765 00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:52,360 Speaker 1: number one realistic goal, in my opinion, is home playoff. 766 00:41:52,520 --> 00:41:55,000 Speaker 1: Can't go for and four at home. Cannot go for 767 00:41:55,120 --> 00:41:57,440 Speaker 1: and for at home. And that's up to the team, 768 00:41:57,480 --> 00:41:59,120 Speaker 1: and that's up to the coaches, and it's up to 769 00:41:59,160 --> 00:42:00,839 Speaker 1: the fans. And if you win a lot of those 770 00:42:00,880 --> 00:42:04,640 Speaker 1: at home against your three common division opponents, it's a 771 00:42:04,680 --> 00:42:08,200 Speaker 1: double whammy. It's a double whammy that the number one 772 00:42:08,360 --> 00:42:11,600 Speaker 1: the number one is win this division. Well, if you 773 00:42:11,680 --> 00:42:13,799 Speaker 1: if you have an ome playoff game, obviously you've done that. 774 00:42:13,880 --> 00:42:17,640 Speaker 1: And that's win this division absolutely, Rhet Brian, how can 775 00:42:17,719 --> 00:42:20,319 Speaker 1: people follow you on the social media?

Okay, I could care less. 792 00:43:15,719 --> 00:43:19,040 Speaker 1: It makes no difference to me, it really doesn't. I 793 00:43:19,120 --> 00:43:21,160 Speaker 1: know both coaches, I know a lot of the staffs. 794 00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:24,160 Speaker 1: They both deserve to be there. Mike, I could, I could, 795 00:43:24,200 --> 00:43:26,200 Speaker 1: really really care less. But if you want me to 796 00:43:26,239 --> 00:43:29,160 Speaker 1: pick a team to win it for nine ers, forty 797 00:43:29,200 --> 00:43:32,040 Speaker 1: nine ers and Jimmy g whoop whoop.

I think Kansas City wins and Patrick Mahomes 803 00:43:48,120 --> 00:43:53,120 Speaker 1: is the MVP. Kansas City wins, so we're we're split 804 00:43:53,200 --> 00:43:55,360 Speaker 1: on that. Rep.
