26
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 1: Before we start with our five topics, I want to

27
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 1: hit one thing. Jim Wyatt of course, puts out the

28
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 1: Britches report every Wednesday, and the Titans are going to

29
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 1: Los Angeles to play the Chargers on Sunday. It's a

30
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 1: three h five Central Time kick Titans Radio on the

31
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 1: air with Titans Countdown at two pm Central Time. All white,

32
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 1: white pants, or as Gym likes to say, britches and

33
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:11,679
Speaker 1: white jerseys.

34
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 3: Do you like the all white I know a lot

35
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 3: of people love it, and so I don't want to

36
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 3: knock it. Of the uniform combinations. It is actually my

37
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:25,960
Speaker 3: least favorite all white. Yeah, I know everybody loves it.

38
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:28,920
Speaker 3: I know it's their thing. I don't think it's flattering

39
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 3: on everyone. I like the all navy or a navy

40
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:35,119
Speaker 3: and a light blue like last week.

41
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:37,079
Speaker 2: Yes, that was very cool.

42
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 1: Because navy jerseys, light blue breches.

43
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 2: Yes, I love that.

44
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 3: The white is just white's hard. Sometimes not everybody can

45
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 3: wear all white?

46
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:48,239
Speaker 1: Is that right?

47
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 2: And I don't want to name any names that doesn't

48
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:52,080
Speaker 2: seem nice.

49
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 3: Okay, but it's not the most flattering on everybody.

50
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 2: I like other outfits.

51
00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:57,799
Speaker 1: I like it.

52
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, a lot of people do. They like the Stormtrooper thing.

53
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:04,359
Speaker 1: Well, you'd have to have the white helmets to have

54
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:05,359
Speaker 1: Stormtrooper though.

55
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 3: No. But I mean, you're gonna get as close as

56
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 3: you're gonna get and you have a blue helmet.

57
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 1: Right, but the Stormtroopers were white helmets.

58
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 2: I understand. I understand.

59
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, So topic one, this is our third,

60
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 1: our third trip to Sofi Stadium, six billion dollar stadium

61
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 1: in Inglewood, California. We went there in twenty twenty one,

62
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry's first game out after breaking the bone in

63
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 1: his foot.

64
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 2: YEP.

65
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 1: Titans shock the world on Sunday Night football beat the

66
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 1: Rams twenty eight to sixteen. Yeah, that was fun.

67
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 2: It was fun. That was a lot of fun.

68
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 1: The next year we went back and played the Chargers

69
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 1: and that was the game where Ryan Tannehill was injured

70
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 1: and yet came back in the game. He had the

71
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 1: run early in the game and Khalil Mack sort of

72
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 1: tripped him up YEP, and Malik Willis went in for

73
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 1: a series and then Ryan came back in the game.

74
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 1: Titans lose seventeen to fourteen. Cameron Dicker with the forty

75
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 1: three yard field goal at the gun after Mike Williams,

76
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 1: who was traded this week to the Steelers, made the

77
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 1: big catch down the sideline.

78
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:18,919
Speaker 3: Did they cart Tannehill off the field? Am I remembering that?

79
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:21,840
Speaker 3: Don't they carted him back to the locker room?

80
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, that may have happened.

81
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 2: Did an X ray or something. But it was like,

82
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 2: oh no, this isn't.

83
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:28,839
Speaker 3: Good, right, And then he come he emerges like a

84
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:32,280
Speaker 3: like a prince at night. Yeah, he comes back from

85
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 3: the locker room and he's kind of roaming around on

86
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:36,480
Speaker 3: the sidelines and.

87
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 2: He came back and he played, Yeah, is this man

88
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 2: going to come back and play? And then he did.

89
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:44,480
Speaker 1: Led the Titans to the tying touchdown. And then again

90
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert, who's still the quarterback in a very good

91
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:50,479
Speaker 1: one for the Chargers, hits the deep ball to Mike

92
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 1: Williams yep to set up Dicker the kicker, to make

93
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 1: the game winning field goal.

94
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 3: I do remember that. Yes, that was an epic game,

95
00:04:58,279 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 3: especially for a sideline reporter.

96
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:05,039
Speaker 1: And this building too, is a real challenge because I

97
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:09,360
Speaker 1: mean it is massive, huge, huge, is it the biggest

98
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 1: stadium you think it has.

99
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 3: To be right, Well, oh, I think so. I've never

100
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 3: been to Las Vegas. Well, yeah, so I'm not sure comparatively,

101
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 3: but it feel I mean, it feels gigantic. Yes, I

102
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:28,119
Speaker 3: mean it is. It is a lot of real estate,

103
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 3: like a lot, and it's kind of chilly.

104
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:32,600
Speaker 1: It's very chilly.

105
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 3: It's very chilly, which is interesting because people think, well,

106
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:40,480
Speaker 3: it's indoors. However, the roof isn't a roof like at

107
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 3: your house where it's attached.

108
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:42,839
Speaker 2: It's more like a lid.

109
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 3: So there is open air coming through. And the sun

110
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 3: is while very present, and you do need sunglasses on

111
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:54,479
Speaker 3: a sunny day, it's a little diffused, right, So you're

112
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 3: not getting the warming effect of the sun wow, and

113
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:01,919
Speaker 3: you're instead getting just the win into blowing through under

114
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 3: and they open all of the doors. It's i mean,

115
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:07,360
Speaker 3: a perfect California venue.

116
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 1: But the roof is translucent as new Nissan Stadium's roof

117
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 1: will be. Yes, and you truly do feel like you're

118
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:16,480
Speaker 1: playing outside.

119
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:20,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, you feel like you're playing outside because you've got

120
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 3: the wind blowing, you've got the sun shining. It's just

121
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 3: a bizarre kind of like indoor. It's like an indoor

122
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 3: outdoor experience.

123
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:33,159
Speaker 1: But we're going and we're very excited about that. So

124
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:35,920
Speaker 1: Sofi Stadium is where we will play on Sunday afternoon

125
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 1: at three oh five Central time.

126
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:38,480
Speaker 2: Take a jacket.

127
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 1: Uh Topic two on the OTP pregame. Who is Mike Edwards?

128
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 4: Great question.

129
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:50,840
Speaker 1: Mike Edwards is, as of this recording, the newest Titan.

130
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:55,680
Speaker 1: He is a safety. He's originally from Cincinnati, Ohio. He

131
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 1: played at Kentucky. Played in fifty one games at Kentucky.

132
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 1: Was a third round pick of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers

133
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 1: in twenty nineteen. That was the Nashville Draft. Yes it

134
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 1: was do you have this? This is not fair, but

135
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 1: I'll throw it at you anyway.

136
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 2: Sure.

137
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 1: Do you remember who the Titans third round pick was

138
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 1: that year? He was taken eighty second overall. I could

139
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 1: do the first two if you want me to get

140
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 1: you to the third.

141
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, give me the first two, okay.

142
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 1: Jeffrey Simmons, Yes, and then AJ.

143
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 2: Brown and then AJ Brown and then and then.

144
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 1: This guy who became a starter pretty quickly as well,

145
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 1: and is having a good NFL career. Not here anymore,

146
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 1: but having a good NFL career. No, just tell me

147
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 1: Nate Davis. Ah, he was taken eighty second overall. Mike

148
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 1: Edwards went ninety ninth overall. Only a starter for one

149
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 1: year in his time in Tampa, which was his fourth year,

150
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 1: and then last season he ends up in Kansas City,

151
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 1: appears in all seventeen regular season games. I mean, this

152
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 1: guy's won a couple of rings. Yeah, and he plays

153
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 1: a role for him. He has fifty one tackles and

154
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:18,239
Speaker 1: a sack and an interception, so he's a versatile player.

155
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 1: He goes to Buffalo, he plays in three games for Buffalo,

156
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 1: and then since then he's just been outside of the

157
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 1: Titans game a healthy scratch. I think he was sick

158
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 1: the week of the Titans game. But he hasn't played

159
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:36,960
Speaker 1: since early October. He asked for his release and he

160
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 1: has been released, and he has joined the Tennessee Titans.

161
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:45,440
Speaker 1: And so now you have a player with Quandre Diggs out. Yes,

162
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 1: you have a player that brings some experience. He's twenty

163
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:53,240
Speaker 1: eight years old, so it's not like he's an old guy.

164
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 1: I mean he still has skills. He's five ten and

165
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,840
Speaker 1: a half two oh five. Why do you say that?

166
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 5: Said he's old, he still has skills. Do you lose

167
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 5: your skills when you get old? Yes, I'm sorry, I

168
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:09,840
Speaker 5: didn't mean to bump on that. It just tickled me

169
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:12,960
Speaker 5: a little bit. You do you lose your skills.

170
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 1: Absolutely all of your skills? Well, I mean you yeah.

171
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 2: I feel like I'm still gaining skills.

172
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 1: Mike, Well, yeah, I mean i'm talking I'm not talking

173
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 1: about real humans, I'm talking about football players. I mean,

174
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 1: I'm sure they gained skills in the kitchen, gardeners or

175
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:33,720
Speaker 1: on the piano or whatever. But on the football field,

176
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:37,080
Speaker 1: you lose your skills. Well, when you get into your thirties, yeah,

177
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 1: you start to You can't back you can't back pedal

178
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:41,400
Speaker 1: as fast. You can't.

179
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 2: I mean it's just bone starts a creak in the morning. Oh,

180
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, Please can take well.

181
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:49,680
Speaker 1: But Mike Edwards, I mean, this is a nice pickup

182
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 1: for a team that doesn't have a lot of depth

183
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 1: at safety. Mike Brown. Mike Brown played better last weekend

184
00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:00,600
Speaker 1: when he had to step in for Quandary Diggs than

185
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 1: I think anybody could have thought. But you know, Julius

186
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 1: Wood is the rookie behind him. They signed a couple

187
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 1: of guys to the practice squad who can play safety.

188
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:15,320
Speaker 1: But this is a guy who's gone and done it

189
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:19,200
Speaker 1: in the league. And because he's been playing, he's been practicing,

190
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:23,600
Speaker 1: and because he's healthy, you would think that he could

191
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 1: give you at the very least quality depth to begin

192
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 1: the week.

193
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:29,960
Speaker 3: And that's an important thing because just because the Mike

194
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 3: Browns of the world played really well, you need to

195
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 3: have depth at that position, you need to have some

196
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 3: veteran leadership. So I think that's a great move for

197
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 3: the Titans to continue to bolster that area that just

198
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:44,160
Speaker 3: when it gets bit by the injury bug.

199
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 1: Yes, well, they weren't carrying a lot of safeties anyway, right,

200
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 1: And because they've been carrying more linebackers due to the

201
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 1: fact that they've got James Williams, a rookie who they

202
00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:59,600
Speaker 1: certainly wanted to keep on the active roster, they didn't

203
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 1: want to try to get him through to the practice squad.

204
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:07,360
Speaker 1: Cedric Gray coming off ir right, and you know, they're

205
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 1: they're just in a position right now where they're a

206
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 1: little heavier there. They always carry more corners than safeties. Yes,

207
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 1: sometimes you carry five safeties, sometimes you carry four. The

208
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:25,400
Speaker 1: Titans have basically had four, certainly since the Jamal Adams departure.

209
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 3: Yes, Yeah, that's a position that has had some rotation.

210
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 1: Yes this year.

211
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:32,679
Speaker 2: Yeah.

212
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:35,560
Speaker 1: Elijah Molden, who the Titans traded at the end of

213
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 1: training camp, is starting for the Chargers, and he has

214
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:44,719
Speaker 1: three interceptions this year. Yeah, he's played regularly in their

215
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 1: in their package.

216
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,960
Speaker 2: Happy he's having success. Hope he doesn't have any this week.

217
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:53,120
Speaker 1: That's right. All right, Speaking of Chargers, let's hit topic

218
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 1: number three. Are you surprised that Lad McConkey, rookie wide

219
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 1: receiver Georgia, has gotten off to such a nice start.

220
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:06,720
Speaker 1: Thirty five catches, four hundred and forty yards and four

221
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:10,960
Speaker 1: touchdowns for McConkey, who leads kind of a new look

222
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:16,960
Speaker 1: wide receiver corps. Mike Williams gone, Keenan Allen gone, and

223
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:21,880
Speaker 1: so now Quentin Johnston's there, Josh Palmer's there, but Lad

224
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:23,840
Speaker 1: McConkey has been the lead dog. Yeah.

225
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 3: I don't think that's surprising at all. I think that

226
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 3: what we talked about after after he graduated and ended

227
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:34,960
Speaker 3: up declaring for the draft. Did he graduate I don't

228
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,880
Speaker 3: know that. I'm sure he did anyway, after he left

229
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:40,720
Speaker 3: Georgia and was getting ready for the draft. We talked

230
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:43,960
Speaker 3: a lot about his versatility and the skill set that

231
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 3: he was going to bring.

232
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 1: He was my favorite player at the Senior Bowl, was he?

233
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:49,840
Speaker 1: He was my favorite player at the Senior Bowl because

234
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:57,200
Speaker 1: you watch Georgia and they're so talented, and you wonder, okay,

235
00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:02,600
Speaker 1: are they overwhelming people with all this talent? And then

236
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:06,080
Speaker 1: some of the guys who played positions look better, especially

237
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:11,440
Speaker 1: skill positions, they look better than they really are based

238
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:13,640
Speaker 1: on the fact that their offensive line is so good

239
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 1: or their defensive line is so good. So you know,

240
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:19,120
Speaker 1: he's got time to get open, and he's playing with

241
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:22,840
Speaker 1: other first round picks. I thought after seeing him. And

242
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 1: one more note about lad McConkey, he can play a lot.

243
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:29,800
Speaker 1: Last year for Georgia due to injury, so he shows

244
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:32,000
Speaker 1: up at the Senior Bowl to prove himself and I

245
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:36,760
Speaker 1: mean he is a complete player. Wow. I mean he's

246
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:39,679
Speaker 1: a route runner, he's a pass catcher, he's got more strength.

247
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 1: I you know, I had my picture made with him.

248
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:43,960
Speaker 2: Do you always know?

249
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:48,280
Speaker 1: No, somebody said let's take a picture.

250
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 2: I'm like, okay, lad McConkey, is he not somebody? Did

251
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:51,880
Speaker 2: he want to take a picture?

252
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:54,360
Speaker 1: No, he did not say that. Someone else said that

253
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 1: and then send it to me. Anyway, I would story

254
00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:01,160
Speaker 1: the picture, I know, and I'm a diminutive man.

255
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:03,719
Speaker 2: Who were diminutive.

256
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:07,320
Speaker 1: I'm the small guy, Okay. But Lad mccaukee, if you

257
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:09,720
Speaker 1: see the picture, you see he's five to eleven one

258
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:12,320
Speaker 1: hundred and ninety five two hundred pounds. He's got decent size.

259
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:15,520
Speaker 1: He runs really well. He's faster than a lot of

260
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 1: people think he is, because a a lot of times

261
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:21,760
Speaker 1: those inside slot guys are quick. But I mean, he

262
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:24,000
Speaker 1: can get down the field, he can do it all.

263
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 1: He's a player that I thought I would have loved

264
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 1: for the Titans to have had a chance to draft. Yeah,

265
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:37,200
Speaker 1: because I'm just I'm thinking, I believe Lad mccaukee is

266
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:39,840
Speaker 1: going to show up with an NFL team and immediately

267
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:44,040
Speaker 1: be able to play based on how he's been coached,

268
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:47,160
Speaker 1: the competition that he's played against, and then seeing him

269
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 1: in the Senior Bowl compete against the best of the

270
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:53,560
Speaker 1: best and win and win and win against good dbs.

271
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:56,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, So, I mean, there's definitely a skill set there

272
00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:58,440
Speaker 3: that has to do with it. It probably also helps

273
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:01,760
Speaker 3: that he's in a system that is going through like

274
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 3: you said, kind of a new look. So they're able

275
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 3: to design a lot of things to suit what he

276
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 3: does best. He's able to really get himself established with

277
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 3: Justin Herbert. There's a lot of things that they're able

278
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:16,440
Speaker 3: to do because they're retooling a little bit that fit

279
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:18,960
Speaker 3: him so well and put him in a situation to

280
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:19,880
Speaker 3: be so successful.

281
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:24,480
Speaker 1: Hey, Titans Man, celebrate each Titans when and enjoy the

282
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:27,680

Speaker 1: Nut Holm is at the forefront of all that we do.

290
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:54,400
Speaker 1: It's why we're so committed to caring for the places

291
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:58,120
Speaker 1: and spaces in which we work and live. Ashley the

292
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 1: official furniture provider of Tennessee Titans. We continue on with

293
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:17,000
Speaker 1: the OTP pregame topic number four. Jim Harbaugh. Jim Harbaugh

294
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:22,240
Speaker 1: Jim Harbaugh, who actually has a long standing relationship with

295
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:23,880
Speaker 1: our head coach Brian Callahan.

296
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 2: Really yes, see the story.

297
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 1: So Bill Callahan hired Jim Harbaugh to the Raiders' staff,

298
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:36,840
Speaker 1: and every day after practice, Jim Harbaugh would work with

299
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 1: Brian Callahan because Brian Callahan was quarterback, so he would

300
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:46,600
Speaker 1: put him through a quarterback workout. Really, yeah, so that's

301
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:49,760
Speaker 1: got to be a little odd, right, yeah, because he

302
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:51,400
Speaker 1: was a high schooler at that point.

303
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:55,560
Speaker 3: That's crazy. First off, what a cool thing for a

304
00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:57,360
Speaker 3: high school quarterback.

305
00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:59,280
Speaker 1: That captain comeback is working you out.

306
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:02,080
Speaker 3: I got it even my warm up with my workout

307
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:05,240
Speaker 3: with Jim Harbaugh. See you later. Like that's very cool.

308
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:10,240
Speaker 3: What a weird full circle life moment to now be

309
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:13,119
Speaker 3: coaching against him, right, and like you guys have the

310
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:13,919
Speaker 3: same job.

311
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:16,879
Speaker 1: Well, Coach Mack, what a weird thing. Coach Mack was

312
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:22,160
Speaker 1: with him in Chicago when he was quarterbacking the Bears

313
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:23,160
Speaker 1: for a period of time.

314
00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:24,160
Speaker 4: That's wild.

315
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 1: Of course. Coach Mac is he is the Kevin Bacon

316
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:30,200
Speaker 1: of the NFL.

317
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 2: He really is.

318
00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:36,120
Speaker 1: Six degrees of Coach Mack takes you to Bronco Nigersky

319
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:37,680
Speaker 1: Red Grange.

320
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 2: It's true, you can get anywhere in the NFL.

321
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 1: He can get to Jaden Daniels and Drake May and

322
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:50,400
Speaker 1: he can also get back into the thirties. I mean,

323
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:54,640
Speaker 1: I'm speaking quite literally about Mac in that way.

324
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:59,640
Speaker 3: It's amazing, it's incredible. But coach Callahan's got a little

325
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:02,560
Speaker 3: bit of that too. He does because through his dad

326
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 3: and through the different places he's lived and worked, and

327
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 3: he's got this really funny and he doesn't really talk

328
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:12,280
Speaker 3: about it. You've kind of got to, like, you got

329
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:15,280
Speaker 3: to pull it out sometimes, which I also think is

330
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:18,399
Speaker 3: very cool that he's like very understated about it. But

331
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:21,800
Speaker 3: you can get to some pretty cool NFL people through.

332
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:25,760
Speaker 1: Brian carrit It's really and I hope as Brian is here,

333
00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:29,639
Speaker 1: the fan base will get to know him more and

334
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:32,320
Speaker 1: get to hear more of the stories that we get

335
00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:35,640
Speaker 1: to hear from him. And you know, obviously he's been

336
00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:39,440
Speaker 1: pretty busy with starting his head coaching career with the Titans,

337
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:42,320
Speaker 1: but I mean he's really an interesting guy. Really, he

338
00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:46,320
Speaker 1: has the tie to Jim Harbaugh, and this just looks

339
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:47,920
Speaker 1: like a Jim Harbaugh team.

340
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 3: It really does. Yeah, they are Khakis and all Khaki's

341
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:55,720
Speaker 3: and all they are there. I mean, play them with

342
00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:58,960
Speaker 3: their hair on fire, right, They are. I mean, they're

343
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:04,240
Speaker 3: a tough team. They're a tricky team, right, and they're

344
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:08,159
Speaker 3: also just completely bought in. There aren't many teams in

345
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:10,240
Speaker 3: the league that you look around they're like, oh my gosh,

346
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:14,440
Speaker 3: like everybody here is totally drinking the juice, Like they

347
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:19,120
Speaker 3: are all one on what he is selling to them,

348
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:21,040
Speaker 3: and that's why they're having the success they're having.

349
00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:25,000
Speaker 1: They don't beat themselves, Nope, four turnovers on the year.

350
00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:29,480
Speaker 1: They average five penalties per game. Their special teams are excellent,

351
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 1: you know, although Cameron Dickers had a problem making extra

352
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:36,320
Speaker 1: points the last couple games, so keep an eye on that.

353
00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:39,880
Speaker 1: But otherwise, I mean he's been fantastic.

354
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:42,800
Speaker 3: Well, I mean, no Harbaugh is ever going to have

355
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:45,639
Speaker 3: a team with lackluster special special teams.

356
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:46,560
Speaker 2: It just won't happen.

357
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:46,720
Speaker 5: No.

358
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:50,280
Speaker 1: JK. Scott's a really good punter, They've got a good returner.

359
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:52,080
Speaker 1: I mean, it's a whole thing. So you got to

360
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 1: go beat them. The one thing about them, though, is

361
00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 1: how they play football. They want to run, they want

362
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:01,200
Speaker 1: to shorten the game, they want to play good defense.

363
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:03,960
Speaker 1: They're only giving up twelve and a half points a game,

364
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:06,679
Speaker 1: roughly twelve points six points per game, which is fantastic,

365
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:12,120
Speaker 1: but they're averaging less than twenty points a game, so

366
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:14,280
Speaker 1: they may not well, but they haven't needed it. I

367
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:16,639
Speaker 1: mean they're five and three. Yeah, so they may not

368
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:20,639
Speaker 1: run and hide. I mean it's not you don't figure

369
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:24,360
Speaker 1: they're going to go for five hundred yards and forty

370
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 1: points because that's not the style of football they play.

371
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:32,280
Speaker 1: They want to bully you. And it seems like we've

372
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:35,080
Speaker 1: been saying that a lot lately because Detroit certainly wanted

373
00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:39,440
Speaker 1: to do that. New England wanted to do that. Buffalo

374
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:42,239
Speaker 1: wanted to do that as well. Yeah, but that's what

375
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:44,440
Speaker 1: they want to do. Now. That makes it a tough

376
00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 1: matchup for the Titans based on the fact that the

377
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:49,480
Speaker 1: Titans are very beaten up.

378
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:53,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it does now that you mention it.

379
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:56,040
Speaker 3: It seems like we have been seeing almost the same

380
00:20:56,240 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 3: brand of football over and over again, and I think

381
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:03,520
Speaker 3: I think that's why some of these some of the

382
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:06,600
Speaker 3: hiccups and some of the tough losses and things like

383
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:09,720
Speaker 3: that almost hurt a little bit more because it feels

384
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:13,800
Speaker 3: almost like, ugh, again, oh that keeps happening. But it's

385
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:16,880
Speaker 3: because we're seeing the same type of football. Maybe we've

386
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:18,760
Speaker 3: cracked the code with the win over the Patriots.

387
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:21,440
Speaker 1: Well that's it. And I mean this is a winnable

388
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:25,200
Speaker 1: game from the Titans standpoint based on the matchup if

389
00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:30,000
Speaker 1: they can eliminate the self inflicted wounds, yep, Because if

390
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:32,840
Speaker 1: you do that against a Harbaugh team, they're going to

391
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:37,960
Speaker 1: win twenty to six or twenty two to twelve, or

392
00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:40,600
Speaker 1: you know, it's going to be those weird one of those, yeah,

393
00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:42,800
Speaker 1: because that's the kind of game they're going to play. Now,

394
00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:45,560
Speaker 1: if you don't, if you get to the fourth quarter

395
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:48,919
Speaker 1: and it's sixteen thirteen, well then you got a chance.

396
00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:49,680
Speaker 2: Yeah.

397
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:52,720
Speaker 1: And I think for a team that's not scoring a

398
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:55,560
Speaker 1: lot of points, which the Titans aren't right now, hopefully

399
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:59,200
Speaker 1: that's going to keep changing, then you're in a position

400
00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:02,240
Speaker 1: where you say, oh, okay, this is winnable if we

401
00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:05,040
Speaker 1: take care of business. But we've got to be on

402
00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 1: our p's and q's. Because the one thing you know

403
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:12,280
Speaker 1: about them is if you're not, you lose. Yeah, Jim

404
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:13,720
Speaker 1: harbaughd teams, you lose.

405
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:16,119
Speaker 2: Yeah. I think that's a really good point.

406
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:20,520
Speaker 3: The Titans brand of football works and can beat these teams.

407
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:23,439
Speaker 1: You know, they have four hundred, four hundred or more

408
00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:25,120
Speaker 1: yards in each of the last two games.

409
00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:25,879
Speaker 2: It's incredible.

410
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:27,960
Speaker 1: So it's what's getting better?

411
00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:29,920
Speaker 2: I think that's really good.

412
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:31,040
Speaker 1: Okay, well that's good.

413
00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:32,199
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm happy.

414
00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:35,800
Speaker 1: I know you're happy, all right. Topic number five on

415
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:38,800
Speaker 1: this edition of the OTP Pregame, presented by Farm Bureau

416
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:42,480
Speaker 1: Health Plans. Want to kind of take you behind the

417
00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:45,919
Speaker 1: scenes a little bit because I want to tell you

418
00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:49,360
Speaker 1: some of what we do preparing for TV shows. So

419
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:52,919
Speaker 1: we shoot interviews for what we call the Nissan Insider

420
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:56,399
Speaker 1: for Titans All Access, and if it is a particularly

421
00:22:56,400 --> 00:23:00,359
Speaker 1: good interview, then we might air it on Titans Football

422
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:02,600
Speaker 1: with Brian Callahan, or at least a snippet of it.

423
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:05,600
Speaker 1: We could use it for other things. We did an

424
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:10,119
Speaker 1: interview with Quandre Diggs safety Quandre Diggs, and he was really,

425
00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:13,000
Speaker 1: really good. We were planning to use it sometime I

426
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:17,520
Speaker 1: think in late November. Yep, because you stacked shows based

427
00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:20,959
Speaker 1: on oh, he went to school here, he's got an

428
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:22,440
Speaker 1: opponent here, you know, or.

429
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:24,000
Speaker 2: He's played some sort of a tie.

430
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:27,200
Speaker 1: And then if a guy intercepts two passes like Amani

431
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:29,400
Speaker 1: Hooker did, You're like, okay, we're going to put him

432
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:33,040
Speaker 1: in this week. If you already have that done. Well,

433
00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:39,639
Speaker 1: Quandre Diggs injured out. Yeah, so suddenly you're not going

434
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:43,160
Speaker 1: to get to use that interview, And well it is

435
00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:46,879
Speaker 1: And what we want to do is one of the

436
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:49,480
Speaker 1: cool things about our job is when we get to

437
00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:55,359
Speaker 1: work with people who are really pros. Yeah, I mean

438
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:57,880
Speaker 1: that is That's one of the best parts. It's why

439
00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:02,240
Speaker 1: we're so happy for Nick westbrook A. Right now, everybody

440
00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:05,720
Speaker 1: in this building loves Nick. Yes, because Nick just does

441
00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:08,560
Speaker 1: his job and you see him in the hall and

442
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:12,040
Speaker 1: he's a nice guy and yep, he does an interview.

443
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:14,719
Speaker 1: He's great for that and he says hi in the

444
00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:18,679
Speaker 1: parking garage, and I mean he's just a really quality

445
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:20,919
Speaker 1: person who goes that.

446
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:24,480
Speaker 2: You like to work with, right, Yes.

447
00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:27,080
Speaker 1: Well, Quandary is that kind of guy too, And to

448
00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 1: see it from afar and to understand his story, he

449
00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:35,240
Speaker 1: leaves Texas and goes to the NFL and on a lark,

450
00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:38,440
Speaker 1: not a lark, but sort of at a moment where

451
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:42,560
Speaker 1: they need someone to play safety, they say, Quandre, will

452
00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:49,160
Speaker 1: you play safety? He's like, okay, yeah, and developing himself further,

453
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:51,880
Speaker 1: he goes to Seattle and becomes a pro bowler, crazy

454
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:54,280
Speaker 1: that's what a pro does. You saw that from him

455
00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:56,479
Speaker 1: in the first eight games this year for the Titans.

456
00:24:56,560 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 1: So going outside the walls for the OTP, here's our

457
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:06,480
Speaker 1: interview with Kwandre Diggs to illustrate what a big time

458
00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:09,520
Speaker 1: professional in this sport is all about. And you'll see

459
00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:13,680
Speaker 1: why he contributed and while why he will be missed

460
00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:17,399
Speaker 1: based on how he conducts himself in this interview. So,

461
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:21,160
Speaker 1: Quandre Diggs, I feel like I'm doing this way late.

462
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:23,200
Speaker 1: I feel like the guy late to the party because

463
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:27,199
Speaker 1: this is only year ten of your NFL career. But

464
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:33,199
Speaker 1: you actually have a slight history with the Titans before

465
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:35,640
Speaker 1: you got here. Do you remember what.

466
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:40,879
Speaker 4: It is before I got here? Yes, no, I don't.

467
00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:43,800
Speaker 4: Besides playing played against us, playing against.

468
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:47,280
Speaker 1: You all year, our staff coached you in the twenty

469
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:48,960
Speaker 1: fifteen senior ball That's true.

470
00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:51,520
Speaker 4: I do remember that. Yeah, I do remember that. It

471
00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:53,480
Speaker 4: was a that was a rough one. I have a

472
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:56,000
Speaker 4: lot of saying that's a lot. That's a lot, for sure,

473
00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:57,399
Speaker 4: But yeah, I do remember that.

474
00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 1: Now. I know you had a visit with the Titans

475
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:02,040
Speaker 1: at the compund You had a formal interview. You didn't

476
00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:05,280
Speaker 1: take up a top thirty visit to the facility, but

477
00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:08,640
Speaker 1: they were interested in you clearly when you came out

478
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:11,360
Speaker 1: of the Senior Bowl. Did you think maybe the Titans

479
00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:13,280
Speaker 1: are one of the teams that'll pick me? Nah?

480
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:15,879
Speaker 4: Nah, that actually didn't. It was two teams that I

481
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:18,800
Speaker 4: knew that was super interested and obviously was Detroit who

482
00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:23,119
Speaker 4: drafted me, and then Cleveland. So those are the two

483
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:26,320
Speaker 4: that I really knew. I knew Tennessee obviously was interested

484
00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:28,600
Speaker 4: from the Senior Bowl things like that, but it was

485
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:31,200
Speaker 4: those two that I really believe I had a chance

486
00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:31,600
Speaker 4: of going to.

487
00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:34,520
Speaker 1: All Right, So another question that I know you've been

488
00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:39,040
Speaker 1: asked before, but I have to ask you here. Are

489
00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:42,320
Speaker 1: you related to Stephan Diggs and Trayvon Diggs?

490
00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:45,639
Speaker 4: Not at all? Not at all. Now my older brothers,

491
00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:48,920
Speaker 4: Quinn Jabber, I know, yeah, so were not related to

492
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:53,000
Speaker 4: those guys. We Texas boys, those guys DMV guys. So nah,

493
00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:53,600
Speaker 4: not at all.

494
00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:57,240
Speaker 1: But how many times do you get asked, especially Stephan,

495
00:26:57,640 --> 00:26:59,960
Speaker 1: if you're related to Stephan Dicks A lot?

496
00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:02,480
Speaker 4: Because we the same class too. So me and Steph

497
00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:05,000
Speaker 4: is the same class and we had it. We used

498
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:07,320
Speaker 4: to always call each other cuz, like on the field,

499
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:09,920
Speaker 4: off the field because people always said it, but like, nah,

500
00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:12,320
Speaker 4: we ain't related, but we were all cool with each other.

501
00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:14,080
Speaker 1: Some people come up to you, they go, man, I

502
00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:17,000
Speaker 1: really enjoy watching your brother play. Yeah, and you think

503
00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:19,480
Speaker 1: they're talking about Quentin Jamber and they're actually talking about

504
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:20,239
Speaker 1: Stefan did Well.

505
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:22,200
Speaker 4: I know they're not talking about the old guy anymore.

506
00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:25,919
Speaker 4: He's good and retired. But I know exactly what they

507
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:28,439
Speaker 4: talking about when they come ask those questions, and I

508
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:30,439
Speaker 4: just tell them we ain't related, but they're good people.

509
00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:33,520
Speaker 1: Do you ever just rather than say anything because you're

510
00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:35,360
Speaker 1: tired of hearing about it, do you ever go, yeah, yeah,

511
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:36,040
Speaker 1: it's just great.

512
00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:38,600
Speaker 4: Nah, I'm gonna set the record. I just set it straight,

513
00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:41,399
Speaker 4: you know what I mean? Like, I think it's just

514
00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:43,840
Speaker 4: hard because people, when they ask those questions, you just

515
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:46,080
Speaker 4: kind of, you know, you let them down easy, don't

516
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:47,800
Speaker 4: break their heart, but just let them down easy to

517
00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:48,119
Speaker 4: love them.

518
00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:50,200
Speaker 1: But they great players though, you know. I mean, I

519
00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:54,159
Speaker 1: love the picture from two thousand and two. Quentin Jamber

520
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:58,320
Speaker 1: goes fifth overall in the draft and there you are, right,

521
00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:01,480
Speaker 1: are you set? At that point?

522
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:04,439
Speaker 4: I was in I was in third grade, okay, so

523
00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:06,679
Speaker 4: you're eight or nine. Yeah, I was in third grade.

524
00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:09,880
Speaker 1: Quentin Jamber Obviously that has to be your all time

525
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:11,920
Speaker 1: he wrote, because he's your brother, right.

526
00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:15,120
Speaker 4: No question, no question, that's my guy. I mean, he's

527
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:16,919
Speaker 4: a lot of the reason why I'm here, you know

528
00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:20,120
Speaker 4: right now, why I'm doing this year ten and being

529
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:22,159
Speaker 4: successful the way I've been is because you know, I

530
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:25,080
Speaker 4: was able to follow his footsteps and learn from some

531
00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:26,960
Speaker 4: of the things that he did, you know, the good

532
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:29,080
Speaker 4: things and also you know, some of the bad things

533
00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:32,040
Speaker 4: that went on in his career. So for me, that's

534
00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:34,639
Speaker 4: my all time favorite guy, all time favorite player. And

535
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:37,719
Speaker 4: you know I used to make him jealous because Ladani

536
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:39,920
Speaker 4: and Thomas. It was really that was my favorite player

537
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:43,080
Speaker 4: when when he was with the Chargers.

538
00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:46,520
Speaker 1: And so he got twelve years in Yep, you're at

539
00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:50,120
Speaker 1: year ten, but you've got three Pro Bowls. Have you

540
00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:51,440
Speaker 1: ever mentioned that to Quentin?

541
00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:54,120
Speaker 4: No question? Three Pro Bowls? And I got more career

542
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:55,120
Speaker 4: in interceptions to him.

543
00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:57,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's twenty four to twenty one right now.

544
00:28:57,760 --> 00:28:59,360
Speaker 4: Yep, you know what I mean. And I still got

545
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:02,840
Speaker 4: some time to get some more. So my interception ball

546
00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:04,720
Speaker 4: when I passed him up, when I got twenty two,

547
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:07,680
Speaker 4: I got it painted and they got that I passed

548
00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:10,840
Speaker 4: him up interceptions. But that's always been me since a kid.

549
00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:13,000
Speaker 4: I always had that competition that I was gonna be

550
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:16,160
Speaker 4: better than him, and you know, it's all it's all

551
00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:17,600
Speaker 4: love at the end of the day. But you know,

552
00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:19,320
Speaker 4: he's pushed me to be who I am.

553
00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:23,600
Speaker 1: But you're probably not the best athlete in your family,

554
00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:27,800
Speaker 1: and Quinton is probably not the best athlete in the family.

555
00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:31,120
Speaker 1: Mom is probably the best athlete in the family. Yeah,

556
00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:31,600
Speaker 1: my mom.

557
00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:34,800
Speaker 4: I mean, that's where we got all our athleticism from.

558
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:37,960
Speaker 4: It's crazy because I always tell people, like people it's

559
00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:40,920
Speaker 4: just like, well, you and your brother, and I'm just like, well,

560
00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:42,880
Speaker 4: my mom, you know what I mean. Everybody in my

561
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:46,160
Speaker 4: hometown always talks about my mom, about her playing basketball

562
00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:48,920
Speaker 4: and stuff like that. So that's really where we got

563
00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:51,680
Speaker 4: it from. Because neither one our dads or athletic. It

564
00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:52,560
Speaker 4: was just Mom.

565
00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:52,960
Speaker 1: Man.

566
00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:55,480
Speaker 4: She's the one that She's the tough one in the

567
00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:57,040
Speaker 4: family too. She's the one that keep.

568
00:29:56,920 --> 00:29:57,720
Speaker 1: Us all in line.

569
00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:00,400
Speaker 4: So yeah, Mom is the she's the athlete.

570
00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:03,400
Speaker 1: You've said, now you're from Angleton, Texas, what twenty thousand

571
00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:06,240
Speaker 1: people or so, You've said that you couldn't get in

572
00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:11,080
Speaker 1: trouble in Angleton because everybody knew who your mom was.

573
00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:15,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, now that's facts everybody, And I always everybody in

574
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:17,560
Speaker 4: Angleton know me as like her baby boy. So that's

575
00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:20,840
Speaker 4: all they say, Like that's jam baby. I'm thirty one now,

576
00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:22,360
Speaker 4: like you know what I mean, I ain't no baby,

577
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:24,640
Speaker 4: but that's the way they look at obviously my brother

578
00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:26,600
Speaker 4: being the oldest, and then I'm the baby boy out

579
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:29,800
Speaker 4: of us too. So yeah, anytime I did anything and

580
00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:32,440
Speaker 4: they was just all right, we'll tell your mom and

581
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:34,280
Speaker 4: they knew what that. Man, I knew what that meant,

582
00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:35,040
Speaker 4: so I had to act.

583
00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:38,080
Speaker 1: Right. Here's the question I've got for you, football wise, though,

584
00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:40,960
Speaker 1: you come out of Angleton, you're one of the highest

585
00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:43,600
Speaker 1: rated corners in the country, if not the highest rated

586
00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:47,400
Speaker 1: corner in the country. You go to Texas, you play immediately,

587
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:50,600
Speaker 1: you play well for mac Brown, you have success, You're

588
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:53,480
Speaker 1: drafted by Detroit, you work your way up, you become

589
00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:58,320
Speaker 1: the nickel, and then suddenly you're a safety. Right, how

590
00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:01,560
Speaker 1: hard was it to do that? And how hard was

591
00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:04,640
Speaker 1: it to become a Pro Bowl safety after being a

592
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:05,920
Speaker 1: corner your whole life?

593
00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:09,880
Speaker 4: Crazy story? Right, So I was going to Texas to

594
00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:14,320
Speaker 4: play safety, and then they had three corners leave to

595
00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:17,040
Speaker 4: go to the draft who all got drafted. So my

596
00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:20,640
Speaker 4: recruiting coach, Major Applewhite, who was my brother's college roommate,

597
00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:24,200
Speaker 4: was just like, hey, if you come in and play corner,

598
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:27,320
Speaker 4: you possibly to start as a true freshman. So I'm like,

599
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:29,520
Speaker 4: let's do it, you know what I mean, Let's go

600
00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:32,360
Speaker 4: play corner, you know what I mean. And that happened,

601
00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:34,480
Speaker 4: and I tried to move to safety after we got

602
00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:36,400
Speaker 4: some more corners in. They were just like, nah, you

603
00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:38,600
Speaker 4: playing too well, you know what I mean. We don't

604
00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:42,120
Speaker 4: have nobody else that we can put. So then obviously

605
00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:45,440
Speaker 4: go into the league, played nickel. I played a little

606
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:48,640
Speaker 4: bit of corner, and then I always watched Glover Quinn

607
00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:51,960
Speaker 4: everything he did. I just watched because he told me

608
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:54,920
Speaker 4: when I got there, He's like, you built just like me.

609
00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:56,960
Speaker 4: You got you know, the smarts. They gonna move you

610
00:31:57,000 --> 00:32:01,640
Speaker 4: to safety eventually. And I mean middle end of year three,

611
00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:05,000
Speaker 4: our starting safety got hurt. Our coaches calles and we

612
00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:08,320
Speaker 4: had a Thursday game after Thanksgiving, got back on Monday

613
00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:10,480
Speaker 4: and the coaches like come to the office and I'm like,

614
00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:13,400
Speaker 4: dangn what did I do? Like you know what I mean, Like,

615
00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:15,680
Speaker 4: you want to play safety, like if I could play

616
00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:18,920
Speaker 4: every snap for sure, and that's what happened. Since then,

617
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:20,680
Speaker 4: I'm just like, I ain't moving back. I got my

618
00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:24,320
Speaker 4: first career interception at safety like two weeks after that,

619
00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:26,640
Speaker 4: and that was it. That's all she wrote.

620
00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:26,840
Speaker 5: Then.

621
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:30,240
Speaker 4: It was just you know, lock in hone in that safety,

622
00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:32,480
Speaker 4: learn exactly what to do, and you know, go make play.

623
00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:36,640
Speaker 1: But coundrary, that's hard. It is not easy because everybody

624
00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:39,640
Speaker 1: thinks if a guy's not working out at corner moving

625
00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:44,080
Speaker 1: to safety, huh right. I mean it's a totally different

626
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:49,479
Speaker 1: game spatially and responsibility wise and tackling and everything that

627
00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:52,719
Speaker 1: goes with it. What was the hardest part of the transition.

628
00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:55,280
Speaker 4: I think just the constant communication and having to know

629
00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:58,440
Speaker 4: everybody's assignment, you know what I mean. When I'm at Nickel,

630
00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:01,040
Speaker 4: I had to know a lot, but I had to know,

631
00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:03,480
Speaker 4: you know, Nickel, the corners and a little bit of

632
00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:05,520
Speaker 4: the backers. But I feel like when you were safety,

633
00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:08,760
Speaker 4: you know, you gotta know you know d Lin linebackers, corners,

634
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:12,640
Speaker 4: Nickels and your responsibilities. So that was probably the toughest part.

635
00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:15,560
Speaker 4: But I like to pride myself on being an intellectual guy.

636
00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:17,920
Speaker 4: So you know, for me, it was something that I

637
00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:20,880
Speaker 4: took out a challenge, and you know, I challenged myself

638
00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:22,800
Speaker 4: every day still to the day. You know what, I mean,

639
00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:25,560
Speaker 4: to learn the defense in and out, so you know,

640
00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:27,760
Speaker 4: if something does go wrong, I can kind of fix it.

641
00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:28,440
Speaker 4: Back there, the.

642
00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:31,600
Speaker 1: Football world was baffled when Detroit traded you to Seattle,

643
00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:34,040
Speaker 1: and they were even more baffled when you went on

644
00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:36,920
Speaker 1: to go to three straight Pro Bowls. Right, how did

645
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:39,800
Speaker 1: you elevate yourself from a guy who had just started

646
00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:45,280
Speaker 1: playing safety to starting safety to Seattle's guy to a

647
00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:47,320
Speaker 1: Pro bowler? What did it for you?

648
00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:52,040
Speaker 4: You go from obviously Detroit, I loved everything about Detroit.

649
00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:55,160
Speaker 4: Didn't like the situation that was going on over there.

650
00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:56,880
Speaker 4: So you know, it was great that I was able

651
00:33:56,880 --> 00:33:58,560
Speaker 4: to get traded. But when you go to a place

652
00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:01,800
Speaker 4: that believes in you and uplifts you and let you

653
00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:04,120
Speaker 4: be who you are as a person, as a player,

654
00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:06,240
Speaker 4: just let you be free, you know what I mean.

655
00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:09,080
Speaker 4: That's kind of what Pete and John they enabled me

656
00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:11,879
Speaker 4: to do, you know what I mean. And you go there,

657
00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:14,360
Speaker 4: you make three Pro Bowls, you are two time captain,

658
00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:17,279
Speaker 4: You go have all the success that you had. You know,

659
00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:19,760
Speaker 4: those guys enabled me to do that. But it also

660
00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:21,440
Speaker 4: the people that I was with, you know what I mean.

661
00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:23,319
Speaker 4: I was playing with, you know, in my mind, Hall

662
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:26,120
Speaker 4: of Fame guys, and you know, Bobby Wagner and you

663
00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:29,000
Speaker 4: know kJ Wright. You know I'm out there, you know,

664
00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:31,160
Speaker 4: and me and Jamal lined up together. You go, and

665
00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:33,360
Speaker 4: you see these guys that you lined up with. You

666
00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:35,239
Speaker 4: got no choice but to play hard, you know what

667
00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:38,120
Speaker 4: I mean. And I think that's what just kind of

668
00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:39,319
Speaker 4: pushed me. And it pushed me.

669
00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:40,520
Speaker 1: And you know, me and.

670
00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:43,040
Speaker 4: Bobby are super close, and we always had those talks

671
00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:45,879
Speaker 4: and they wanted me, you know what I mean. They

672
00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:47,919
Speaker 4: wanted me to be great and they let me be great.

673
00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:49,600
Speaker 4: So I'm always grateful for that.

674
00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:53,400
Speaker 1: You get here, and the connection between you and a

675
00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:59,359
Speaker 1: Mai Hooker is just evident. It's visible in every way.

676
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:02,959
Speaker 1: It's the season's gone along, the two of you are

677
00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:07,720
Speaker 1: feeding off one another. How did that develop as quickly

678
00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:08,520
Speaker 1: as it has?

679
00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:11,120
Speaker 4: I mean, hook is a guy that I always watched,

680
00:35:11,239 --> 00:35:12,799
Speaker 4: you know what I mean. I always watched and see

681
00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:14,680
Speaker 4: what he did, because you would see him on film

682
00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:17,680
Speaker 4: with KB and me and KB are super close too,

683
00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:20,240
Speaker 4: so we work out together in the off season stuff

684
00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:22,600
Speaker 4: like that. And he always talked highly of Hook. So

685
00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:25,560
Speaker 4: you know, when I signed here, besides Jamal, Hook was

686
00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:27,160
Speaker 4: the first person that hit me up, and it was

687
00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:28,920
Speaker 4: just like, yo, like let's get to work, you know

688
00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:31,920
Speaker 4: what I mean, and you know, just some mutual respect

689
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:34,560
Speaker 4: that you know, me being an older VET guy, I

690
00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:36,400
Speaker 4: told Hook from the jump, this is your room, you

691
00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:37,680
Speaker 4: know what I mean. I want you to run the

692
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:40,080
Speaker 4: room because you're gonna be here a lot longer than me,

693
00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:42,399
Speaker 4: you know what I mean. I want him to take over.

694
00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:44,640
Speaker 4: And you know, for me, I just kind of came in,

695
00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:47,279
Speaker 4: try to make myself comfortable, to let the guys know

696
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:50,960
Speaker 4: who I am. And we just had those conversations, you

697
00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:53,480
Speaker 4: know what I mean. We talked, you know, send each

698
00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:55,880
Speaker 4: other stuff on Instagram, send each other stuff, you know,

699
00:35:55,960 --> 00:35:58,640
Speaker 4: through text messages. I see a play on film, he'll

700
00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:00,400
Speaker 4: text it to me. We'll talk about you know what

701
00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:03,560
Speaker 4: I mean. So I think that's what's the cool thing.

702
00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:03,799
Speaker 1: You know.

703
00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:05,640
Speaker 4: I don't really I don't have an ego, He don't

704
00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:07,920
Speaker 4: have an ego. I think we all just we just

705
00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:09,640
Speaker 4: want to make plays and we want to have fun,

706
00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:11,960
Speaker 4: and you know, I just try to uplift him the

707
00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:14,319
Speaker 4: best way I can, because, like I said, I still

708
00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:16,480
Speaker 4: want to have success, and I've had success, but you know,

709
00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:18,439
Speaker 4: I want to uplift him to where. You know, he's

710
00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:20,480
Speaker 4: twenty seven, He make his Pro Bowls, he go on

711
00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:22,520
Speaker 4: his run, he does his thing. So I think that'll

712
00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:22,960
Speaker 4: be cool.

713
00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:27,920
Speaker 1: A decade in the NFL. All the honors, twenty four interceptions,

714
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:32,200
Speaker 1: all of the things. What is Quandre Diggs most proud

715
00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:34,960
Speaker 1: of about the entire body of your career?

716
00:36:35,719 --> 00:36:39,799
Speaker 4: I think just the consistency. I think for me, when

717
00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:42,000
Speaker 4: people speak on my name, I just want them to

718
00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:45,440
Speaker 4: speak of a consistent player on the field, and a

719
00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:47,640
Speaker 4: consistent player off the field, and a great teammate.

720
00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:47,960
Speaker 3: You know.

721
00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:49,799
Speaker 4: I mean, that's all I care about, because if I

722
00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:52,640
Speaker 4: had a respect inside the building, all the other stuff,

723
00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:55,480
Speaker 4: you know, it comes and goes. But you know, these

724
00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:58,879
Speaker 4: relationships and the stuff that I built, you know, over

725
00:36:58,920 --> 00:37:00,520
Speaker 4: the time I've been in the league, that's the stuff

726
00:37:00,520 --> 00:37:02,640
Speaker 4: that's't gonna stick with everybody's longest.

727
00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:04,600
Speaker 1: Not Quentin Jambers, more talented brothers.

728
00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:08,000
Speaker 4: Nah, you know what I mean. I feel like that

729
00:37:08,120 --> 00:37:10,040
Speaker 4: kind of got dropped a long time ago when I

730
00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:12,640
Speaker 4: started making plays everybody, you know, I kind of made

731
00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:13,600
Speaker 4: a name for myself.

732
00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:14,720
Speaker 1: Kuandre Diggs.

733
00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:18,359

00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:10,560
Speaker 1: by Little Caesars. Let's go to sponsor Cam.

754
00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:11,919
Speaker 2: Where is sponsor Cam?

755
00:38:12,080 --> 00:38:16,640
Speaker 1: Sponsor Cam is up to show Little Caesars Pizza pizza.

756
00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:18,080
Speaker 2: And I've got my watch ready, Mike.

757
00:38:18,560 --> 00:38:22,880
Speaker 1: All right? Key number one Sunday in Los Angeles is

758
00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:26,240
Speaker 1: more of that? What's that? More of what the Titans

759
00:38:26,239 --> 00:38:28,800
Speaker 1: did in their win over New England when the turnover battles.

760
00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:31,400
Speaker 1: Stay on the field on offense, avoid three and outs,

761
00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:35,239
Speaker 1: and play excellent defense on first down. In particular, the

762
00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:38,280
Speaker 1: Titans made it tougher on the Patriots by doing those things.

763
00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:42,759
Speaker 1: So more of that, please. Key number two. Play better

764
00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:47,120
Speaker 1: on special teams. The Titans special teams improved from Detroit

765
00:38:47,160 --> 00:38:49,920
Speaker 1: to New England, but they were far from perfect against

766
00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:52,840
Speaker 1: the Patriots. The Chargers, as we mentioned, are one of

767
00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:56,160
Speaker 1: the best special teams teams in the NFL. You got

768
00:38:56,160 --> 00:39:00,480
Speaker 1: to play good special teams against Jim Harbaugh teams. Key

769
00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:04,040
Speaker 1: number three. Tackle Justin Herbert. The Chargers quarterback is big,

770
00:39:04,400 --> 00:39:06,000
Speaker 1: so when you try to sack him, you have to

771
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:07,960
Speaker 1: make sure to get him on the ground. Plus, he's

772
00:39:08,040 --> 00:39:11,399
Speaker 1: athletic and sneaky fast, so when he runs or he's

773
00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:14,400
Speaker 1: simply scrambling, you got to tackle him like he's a

774
00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:18,400
Speaker 1: running back. The first key to stopping Justin Herbert is

775
00:39:18,440 --> 00:39:20,640
Speaker 1: to make sure that you are tackling.
