Visit FBHP dot com with Amy Wells, I'm Mike, 5 00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:25,759 Speaker 1: Keith and our all friends. Sarah Walsh is here. She's 6 00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:29,600 Speaker 1: now known as NFL Network Sarah Walsh. But you were 7 00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:31,120 Speaker 1: on WKRN here. 8 00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:34,720 Speaker 2: How long three years is at all? That's it? But 9 00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:36,640 Speaker 2: I feel like I was here in a really good 10 00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:37,480 Speaker 2: special time. 11 00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:40,519 Speaker 3: I mean, obviously I'm completely biased, but I was even 12 00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:43,519 Speaker 3: talking about it today the last it feels like that 13 00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:46,239 Speaker 3: Titans never obviously get the national love I think that 14 00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:48,199 Speaker 3: they deserve. I mean, even when you're the number one 15 00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:48,840 Speaker 3: seeing in the FC. 16 00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:49,760 Speaker 2: I've seen it. 17 00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:53,600 Speaker 3: I've seen this team in all different incarnations, and it 18 00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:56,280 Speaker 3: felt like the last time that it was like this 19 00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:59,160 Speaker 3: national situation. I mean, I was here in the years 20 00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:03,760 Speaker 3: of Eddie George, Steve McNair, Keith Bullock, Frank Wycheck, Javon Curse. 21 00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:06,080 Speaker 3: I mean, this was this locker room to me, and 22 00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:08,039 Speaker 3: I was much younger in my career, but you walked 23 00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:10,840 Speaker 3: in that locker room and it was these superstar players 24 00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:13,880 Speaker 3: that I felt like nationally got a lot of attention 25 00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:14,960 Speaker 3: for Tennessee. 26 00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:18,600 Speaker 1: Now, so what is your job with NFL Network specifically? 27 00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:21,600 Speaker 2: Now, anything and everything they ask. 28 00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:26,840 Speaker 3: So for the last three years I have been primarily 29 00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:30,640 Speaker 3: down in Tampa because there was a quarterback there that, yeah, 30 00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:32,959 Speaker 3: you know, demanded a lot of attention. He didn't demand it, 31 00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:36,600 Speaker 3: but you know, nationally he is Tom Brady. So I've 32 00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:38,600 Speaker 3: spent the last couple of years covering Tom Brady in 33 00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:41,560 Speaker 3: the Buccaneers. And that wasn't never really solely my job, 34 00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:45,560 Speaker 3: but it became solely my job. So now I'm sort 35 00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:47,400 Speaker 3: of I don't want to say I'm a free agent 36 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:50,760 Speaker 3: because I worked for NFL Network, but now I can 37 00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:52,640 Speaker 3: go to other teams. And not that I couldn't go 38 00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:54,720 Speaker 3: to other teams before, but there was just never a 39 00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:56,600 Speaker 3: situation that they were like, let's skip the cover. 40 00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:59,240 Speaker 1: It's okay that you say that, because I mean, Tom 41 00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:03,640 Speaker 1: Brady was that kind of big deal that I mean, 42 00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:05,840 Speaker 1: I guess Patrick Mahomes is that he can. 43 00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:08,080 Speaker 3: I mean he could. He has a chance to potentially 44 00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:10,240 Speaker 3: catch Brady. A lot of things have to go right, 45 00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:12,760 Speaker 3: but you know, Patrick Mahomes is the face of the league. 46 00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:15,120 Speaker 2: I don't think that that's right. You can't really argue that. 47 00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:18,280 Speaker 1: Tom Brady was a face beyond. 48 00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:20,480 Speaker 2: We're talking greatest of all time, right, yes. 49 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:22,320 Speaker 1: But you're talking about also a super I mean he 50 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,640 Speaker 1: was married to a supermodel. He went to another team, 51 00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:27,520 Speaker 1: and then that was a story because they won the 52 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:30,440 Speaker 1: Super Bowl. And I mean, if I'm NFL network, I'm 53 00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:32,519 Speaker 1: going to cover every move Tom Brady makes. 54 00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:34,880 Speaker 3: Correct and people always ask me to you know, this 55 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:36,680 Speaker 3: ideal that he's just a regular football player. I mean 56 00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:39,480 Speaker 3: he's not, though, because to your point, this is a 57 00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:41,679 Speaker 3: guy that, like if you this is He sat in 58 00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,240 Speaker 3: front of me when Bruce arians retired and he did 59 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:45,040 Speaker 3: his press conference. 60 00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:46,760 Speaker 2: Tom came in the room. He sits in front of me. 61 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:48,720 Speaker 3: It's one of the rooms that I don't know if 62 00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:49,880 Speaker 3: you guys still have it here, but back in my 63 00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:51,880 Speaker 3: day it was like an auditorium or so they have 64 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:53,840 Speaker 3: the you know, like your old college, Like you've got 65 00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:55,000 Speaker 3: the thing that you can put your phone on. And 66 00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:56,560 Speaker 3: I remember Tom sitting in front of me and his 67 00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:58,200 Speaker 3: phone's there and it was turned over, but I'm like, 68 00:02:58,320 --> 00:02:59,320 Speaker 3: who's on that phone? 69 00:02:59,360 --> 00:02:59,840 Speaker 2: Like right now? 70 00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:02,240 Speaker 3: Like who's texting that phone. We're not talking it's not 71 00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:05,880 Speaker 3: just like another star quarterback. We're talking billionaires. We're talking 72 00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,160 Speaker 3: people that tra like far outside of football. I mean, 73 00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:10,760 Speaker 3: he's just a different he's and so the best way 74 00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:12,440 Speaker 3: I could explain to him, he's just a different level. 75 00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:14,640 Speaker 3: It's not just hey, this guy's the best in the NFL. 76 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:17,600 Speaker 3: He's on a different like level in the entertainment, in 77 00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:18,360 Speaker 3: all of those worlds. 78 00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:20,720 Speaker 1: All right, I got one more. Are you convinced he's retired? 79 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,120 Speaker 2: Yes, I think he is. Now there there's always been. 80 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:25,120 Speaker 2: I'll tell you what. 81 00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:28,440 Speaker 3: When he was going to step away, we felt like 82 00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:30,799 Speaker 3: we saw a lot of things in Tampa that made 83 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:32,840 Speaker 3: you think it was his last season. When there was 84 00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:35,720 Speaker 3: a little bit of could Rabel get him, because you 85 00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:37,520 Speaker 3: know they have a connection from the Patriots, I was like, 86 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:39,120 Speaker 3: this is going to be great for me. I'll just 87 00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:41,920 Speaker 3: continue on. I'll go back to Nashville, Tennessee, where I 88 00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,520 Speaker 3: still have a home, Like, let's keep it going. 89 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:46,760 Speaker 2: So No, I do. 90 00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:49,800 Speaker 3: Think he's he's done. I mean he's been off on 91 00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:52,480 Speaker 3: like a yacht overseas a summer. I mean, if Tom 92 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 3: thought he was playing, Tom would be working, working, working, 93 00:03:55,720 --> 00:04:00,200 Speaker 3: So yes, I think that chapter has finally closed, like 94 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:01,560 Speaker 3: he's living his best life. 95 00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:05,200 Speaker 4: But it also seems like you're living your best life 96 00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:06,880 Speaker 4: in a lot of ways. I feel like we see 97 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:08,840 Speaker 4: you on TV all the time, and we see you 98 00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:11,640 Speaker 4: in so many different spaces and doing so many different things. 99 00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:15,080 Speaker 4: What stories are you most excited about following throughout the 100 00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:18,600 Speaker 4: twenty twenty three season. Now that Tom Brady's on a 101 00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:19,599 Speaker 4: yacht somewere. 102 00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:20,880 Speaker 2: There's so many things. 103 00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:24,960 Speaker 3: I was recently at Panther's trading camp and Bryce Young 104 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:27,320 Speaker 3: is could be a new up and coming And it's 105 00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:29,640 Speaker 3: one of those things where I always say it's difficult 106 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:32,400 Speaker 3: for me to look at practice and when you're in 107 00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:35,720 Speaker 3: the minutia of drills, when you're in the mundane until 108 00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:37,880 Speaker 3: you get in a game situation, it's hard to see 109 00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:41,160 Speaker 3: certain things. Went to Panthers practice and you could see 110 00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:43,520 Speaker 3: Breakstlete's really good, Like there's just something, there's a factor. 111 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,800 Speaker 3: There was like an excitement, so like I potentially could 112 00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:50,440 Speaker 3: be dealing with them. I've been in Jacksonville. If it 113 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:52,359 Speaker 3: wasn't the Buck stays with Jacksonville they have I know 114 00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:54,920 Speaker 3: this might be a bad topic here on this particular 115 00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:58,800 Speaker 3: Show's okay, they're just really they're really excited down there. 116 00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:02,160 Speaker 3: There's an energy they again they've been they have been. 117 00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:04,200 Speaker 3: This isn't I'm not gonna sugar it. They've been bad 118 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:06,760 Speaker 3: for a long time. And last year I was in trading. 119 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:08,640 Speaker 3: This is what's cool about the NFL. And I've talked 120 00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:11,239 Speaker 3: about this before in terms of parody. A year ago, 121 00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:13,679 Speaker 3: we go to Jacksonville. They're coming off that debacle season. 122 00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:16,080 Speaker 3: They were hoping to just improve a little bit. They're 123 00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:19,360 Speaker 3: just hoping to improve. They don't they They're like, we're 124 00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 3: never gonna pick number one overall again. They did it 125 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:23,560 Speaker 3: two years in a row. It was dire down there 126 00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:26,440 Speaker 3: for them, and so they'd like to see improvement, you know. 127 00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:29,719 Speaker 3: And I don't know that they envisioned that it would 128 00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:32,720 Speaker 3: have turned out to be as an exciting finish as 129 00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:34,800 Speaker 3: it was for them. I know at some point that 130 00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:37,160 Speaker 3: was at the Titans expense. But they were a fun 131 00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 3: story of a team that was looking at the league's 132 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:43,039 Speaker 3: worst record to at one point going into Arrowhead in 133 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:45,040 Speaker 3: the playoffs and taking it to the Chiefs. 134 00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:46,760 Speaker 2: I mean, they really, like people thought that wasn't going 135 00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:47,240 Speaker 2: to be a game. 136 00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:50,120 Speaker 3: It was a game, and so I always think too, 137 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,400 Speaker 3: going into the preseason, I'm like, who's the Jaguars that 138 00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:54,440 Speaker 3: we're not talking about? Who had three wins last season 139 00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:57,200 Speaker 3: that you're giving that nobody's giving any chance to but 140 00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:01,159 Speaker 3: that you can turn it around overnight. Here in some regards, 141 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:03,800 Speaker 3: it doesn't happen for everybody, But every year there's teams 142 00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:05,320 Speaker 3: in the playoffs that weren't in the playoffs this season 143 00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:05,760 Speaker 3: ago well. 144 00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:07,720 Speaker 1: And the other part of it, too is that's always 145 00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:11,359 Speaker 1: how it happens when you least expect it. It just 146 00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:14,680 Speaker 1: all of a sudden becomes a title wave. It's the 147 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,520 Speaker 1: coolest thing, you know. When we got good in ninety nine, 148 00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:19,080 Speaker 1: we'd been eight and eight three straight years, and then 149 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:20,560 Speaker 1: all of a sudden we go to the Super Bowl. 150 00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:23,480 Speaker 1: The Rams on the other side had won four games 151 00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:26,880 Speaker 1: the year before, and you see that that whole thing happened. 152 00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:28,839 Speaker 1: I think that's the best thing about the NFL. 153 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:30,200 Speaker 2: That's why it's so exciting. Again. 154 00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:31,800 Speaker 3: You can sit there and be down on your luck 155 00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:36,000 Speaker 3: and things can change. And actually, and now I'm gonna 156 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:37,960 Speaker 3: watch the stat but I was talking to you about that. 157 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,200 Speaker 3: I was on Good Morning Football this summer and we 158 00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:42,400 Speaker 3: did this segment called what if, like name something that 159 00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:44,320 Speaker 3: happened in the NFL, what if it didn't happen, how 160 00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:46,920 Speaker 3: would it change fates? And I said, what if the 161 00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,720 Speaker 3: Music City Miracle didn't happen? And now I'm going to 162 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:52,680 Speaker 3: watch the stat because I've lost it. But after that game, 163 00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:56,160 Speaker 3: which obviously knocked Buffalo out, they didn't see a postseason 164 00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:57,880 Speaker 3: for and I'm running now. 165 00:06:57,760 --> 00:06:58,720 Speaker 2: Almost like twenty years. 166 00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:01,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, it was twenty years to think that you're that close, 167 00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:03,599 Speaker 3: that game's over, Buffalo is going to the postseason to 168 00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:05,440 Speaker 3: lose the way that they lost, And to think if 169 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,320 Speaker 3: you would have told the Buffalo Bills fans in the 170 00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:11,640 Speaker 3: hour after the Music City Miracle happens, hey, guys, buckle up, 171 00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:14,000 Speaker 3: because you're not going back to the postseason for twenty years. 172 00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:15,000 Speaker 2: Like that's insane. 173 00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:17,720 Speaker 1: I mean, it's like when you fall And they were 174 00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:20,400 Speaker 1: the most successful playoff team of the nineties, even though 175 00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:22,080 Speaker 1: they didn't win a Super Bowl. They were in the 176 00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:25,600 Speaker 1: playoffs seemingly every year and competitive and went to Super Bowls. 177 00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:28,480 Speaker 1: But when you fall off the cliff too, it's like 178 00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:31,240 Speaker 1: when you ride the title wave up, somebody else rides 179 00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:34,000 Speaker 1: the tidle wave down, and you know, we went nine 180 00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:37,280 Speaker 1: years without a playoff appearance here, and you don't think 181 00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:39,800 Speaker 1: when we lose that game to Baltimore at the end 182 00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:42,640 Speaker 1: of two thousand and eight that we're supposed to win 183 00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:44,960 Speaker 1: and that we're not even going to make it back 184 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:49,840 Speaker 1: to the playoffs for nine years. You're like, oh my goodness. 185 00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:49,920 Speaker 2: It's crazy. 186 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:51,840 Speaker 3: It is crazy, which is why you always say, don't 187 00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:53,880 Speaker 3: take it for granted. And there's guys that get to 188 00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:55,520 Speaker 3: the super Bowl, and we've heard this a million times, 189 00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:57,240 Speaker 3: that go to a super Bowl in their first year 190 00:07:57,320 --> 00:07:58,840 Speaker 3: lose it, but you always think, well, I'll be back, 191 00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:00,240 Speaker 3: and you don't know if you ever get back. 192 00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:03,680 Speaker 2: It's just crazy. I think specifically for Tennessee. 193 00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:06,320 Speaker 3: I've always thought Mike as someone that worked here that 194 00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:08,600 Speaker 3: the Titans, no matter what they do, never got enough credit, 195 00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:10,400 Speaker 3: you know what I mean. Like even when this team 196 00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:13,120 Speaker 3: like two years removed from being the top team in 197 00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:15,000 Speaker 3: the AFC, right, and what do you hear about? You 198 00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:18,560 Speaker 3: hear about the Chiefs, the Bills, the Patriots for the 199 00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:21,360 Speaker 3: longest time. And I just feel like, and people here 200 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:23,600 Speaker 3: in Tennessee know that you're sort of like insulated, and 201 00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:25,840 Speaker 3: you know in our world of like I just feel 202 00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:28,880 Speaker 3: like they've never gotten nationally the love that at times 203 00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:29,480 Speaker 3: they've deserved. 204 00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:31,720 Speaker 1: But don't you think Amy that's I don't think it's 205 00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:33,920 Speaker 1: a chip on the shoulder thing. I think it's we 206 00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:36,560 Speaker 1: don't have a Brady or a Manning here. We haven't 207 00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:39,360 Speaker 1: had a Brady or a Manning. People can now fly 208 00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:42,960 Speaker 1: into Nashville easier, which helps because the media comes in 209 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,160 Speaker 1: here a lot more than they did back when you 210 00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:48,160 Speaker 1: were at Channel two. But I just think the other 211 00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:50,440 Speaker 1: thing is too we don't play a run and gun 212 00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:53,760 Speaker 1: style and gain five hundred yards a game and score 213 00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:57,320 Speaker 1: forty points. I mean where the team that very much 214 00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:03,520 Speaker 1: matches its city, where the hardcore, tough guys, blue collar 215 00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:07,320 Speaker 1: Eddie George Derrick Henry sort of thing. And I think 216 00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:11,040 Speaker 1: to be a story you've got to have a stylized point. 217 00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:14,800 Speaker 1: The guy who really brings us there, I think is Vrabel. 218 00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:17,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I think that's very interesting. 219 00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:20,040 Speaker 4: I think Mike Vrabel is the guy that brings us 220 00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:22,960 Speaker 4: kind of the sex appeal that this team didn't have 221 00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:26,680 Speaker 4: for a long time, just because he's got the personality, 222 00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:29,240 Speaker 4: he's got the attachment to the Patriots, he's got the 223 00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:33,720 Speaker 4: successful playing career, he'll give you the SoundBite that kind 224 00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:35,920 Speaker 4: of goes viral and that will be played in lots 225 00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:39,920 Speaker 4: of different places. But the supporting cast, if you can 226 00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:42,840 Speaker 4: call it that, that is the roster, is made up 227 00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:45,280 Speaker 4: of a lot of guys that you kind of go, oh. 228 00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:47,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, I've heard of him, or oh yeah, i've seen 229 00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:48,000 Speaker 2: him play really good. 230 00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,480 Speaker 4: Oh yeah, he's he's on his second swing of whatever, 231 00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:54,439 Speaker 4: which for us is great as a team. We've got 232 00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:57,200 Speaker 4: a team made up of guys that are really fighting 233 00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:59,360 Speaker 4: for and they want it really bad because they're on 234 00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:02,439 Speaker 4: their they're second go around. They're getting another crack at it, 235 00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:03,959 Speaker 4: they're getting another opportunity. 236 00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:05,400 Speaker 2: But for everybody else. 237 00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:08,520 Speaker 4: They're like, oh that was a bust right, he's bust guy. Well, no, 238 00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:11,680 Speaker 4: he's not bust guy. He's a great player. But it's 239 00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:13,880 Speaker 4: just a very different story here. 240 00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:17,360 Speaker 2: And I think that to your point, it gets lost in. 241 00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:21,240 Speaker 4: The in the machine of the NFL and all of 242 00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:23,440 Speaker 4: the personalities and all of the big stars. 243 00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:25,040 Speaker 2: So I can see both sides of it. 244 00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:29,480 Speaker 4: But I think the Titans as a franchise thrive on that. 245 00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:33,000 Speaker 2: I think it's almost become sort of not in the spotlight. 246 00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:36,160 Speaker 4: I think it's become part of their identity is that 247 00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:39,319 Speaker 4: like we could win it, we could not. The stories 248 00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:41,600 Speaker 4: will be the same, so let's sneak up on them. 249 00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:43,920 Speaker 2: And I like that. I like that. I think it 250 00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:45,560 Speaker 2: makes the team tough and scrappy. 251 00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:52,439 Speaker 1: I like to Sarah leave the Snickers hot seat to go. 252 00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:54,319 Speaker 3: You guys, this is like when you trick or treat 253 00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:55,960 Speaker 3: at people's houses and you're like, they gave you the 254 00:10:56,000 --> 00:11:00,600 Speaker 3: full size. It's fair, no expense here. Titans fans like these. 255 00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:04,040 Speaker 3: They're not the bite size, full one. 256 00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:05,040 Speaker 2: I can take one to talk. 257 00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:09,520 Speaker 1: Yes, absolutely, Okay, So final question before you depart, how 258 00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:12,079 Speaker 1: many of the NFL Network shirts do you have? 259 00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:15,560 Speaker 2: Oh my god, I mean pay for them. We don't 260 00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:17,560 Speaker 2: pay for them, so a way, this is probably gonna 261 00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:18,000 Speaker 2: get me fired. 262 00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,520 Speaker 1: Mike so uh, he's a great guest. 263 00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:21,439 Speaker 2: I love Charlie. 264 00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:25,760 Speaker 3: Every year they send us, you know, like if you're 265 00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:27,760 Speaker 3: going two weeks in a row and you can't wash anything, 266 00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:28,480 Speaker 3: then you need a bunch. 267 00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:30,480 Speaker 2: They would send like a huge amount of shirts, and 268 00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:31,080 Speaker 2: I'm like, I don't need. 269 00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:33,080 Speaker 3: First of all, I was mostly in Florida and it's 270 00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:35,199 Speaker 3: always hot, so I'm always gonna go to Leeveless.

Until today, we were wearing NFL 276 00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:46,240 Speaker 3: Plus shirts. There's a big difference there, Mike. It says 277 00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:48,960 Speaker 3: NFL Plus NFL Network. I got to just transition today 278 00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:53,480 Speaker 3: to NFL Network. So yeah, I've got I've got a close. 279 00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:56,199 Speaker 1: You can't exactly wear those at to dinner in Tampa 280 00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:58,520 Speaker 1: because it's like, oh, look, Sir Wallace wants everybody knows 281 00:11:58,559 --> 00:11:59,600 Speaker 1: she works for Ye.

I mean, I hope I'm not ready for it, 332 00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:16,280 Speaker 1: but I mean it's August the twelve. 333 00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:17,800 Speaker 2: I know it's at noon. 334 00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:20,720 Speaker 1: It's not a seven o'clock game. Yeah, you need Duncan. 335 00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:22,120 Speaker 1: You need your coffee, you do. 336 00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:26,240 Speaker 4: I had a box of twenty five munchkins this morning. 337 00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:28,080 Speaker 2: Golly, it was good. 338 00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:30,040 Speaker 1: By the way, you've changed seats. You're now in the 339 00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:35,560 Speaker 1: Snickers hot seat, and it's amazing how this works. 340 00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:38,920 Speaker 2: Humphy, I'm hydrating. I'm closer to the Snicker. 341 00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:41,640 Speaker 1: Yes, okay, well we're glad. We're glad to see you there. 342 00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:45,400 Speaker 1: I want to go over something as we get ready 343 00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:48,920 Speaker 1: for the first preseason game, and I want to call 344 00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:52,920 Speaker 1: it three to see. Okay, each of us, Mike Keith 345 00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:56,040 Speaker 1: and Amy Wells will pick three players that we want 346 00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:58,680 Speaker 1: to see against the Bears. All right, all right for 347 00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:01,720 Speaker 1: the Titans, I'm going to take out the kickers. 348 00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:03,920 Speaker 2: Okay, okay, you got to see the kicker. 349 00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:05,560 Speaker 1: We got to see. I mean we all know that 350 00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:08,360 Speaker 1: all of the ot people are saying, oh, which one 351 00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:10,320 Speaker 1: of them is going to say the kicker? No, we're not. 352 00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:16,240 Speaker 1: We're shocker spoiler alert. We're not because we everybody wants 353 00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:18,320 Speaker 1: to see. What's the Titans have to pick a kicker 354 00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:20,720 Speaker 1: between Caleb shoot Deck and Trey Wolf. 355 00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:22,280 Speaker 2: Right, that's a given. 356 00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:24,760 Speaker 1: That's a given. And then you're going to say, oh, 357 00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:27,840 Speaker 1: you're going to say the backup quarterbacks. No, you all 358 00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:30,360 Speaker 1: want to see Malik Willis and you all want to 359 00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:34,200 Speaker 1: see will Levis. We all do. Yeah, so they're out. Okay, 360 00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:36,960 Speaker 1: we we understand. We want to see them run the offense. 361 00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:39,320 Speaker 1: I mean, we could go through all of the coach 362 00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:41,560 Speaker 1: speak about the kickers and the quarterbacks. We get it. 363 00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:43,320 Speaker 2: Okay, so those are off the table. 364 00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:46,720 Speaker 1: They're off the table, so we will go back and forth. Okay, 365 00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:50,480 Speaker 1: three to see Amy Wells. You get to pick one first. 366 00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:53,480 Speaker 4: I think my first one is going to be wide 367 00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:55,040 Speaker 4: receiver Kyle Phillips. 368 00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:56,280 Speaker 2: And I'll tell you why. 369 00:15:57,120 --> 00:16:00,880 Speaker 4: Kyle Phillips showed up for training camp and his body 370 00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:05,040 Speaker 4: looked different. He is still not a big dude. He 371 00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:08,320 Speaker 4: will never be a big dude. His just skeleton won't 372 00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:12,760 Speaker 4: allow for that. But he looks like he has become 373 00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:16,320 Speaker 4: more sturdy, sturdy, he looks a little more built, and 374 00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:18,560 Speaker 4: I think that that is going to go a long 375 00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:20,840 Speaker 4: way with helping him stay healthy. 376 00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:22,320 Speaker 2: He's going to be more durable. 377 00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:25,960 Speaker 4: We saw him have some of the highest highs and 378 00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:32,160 Speaker 4: lowest lows within like a matter of minutes. Yeah, that 379 00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:35,240 Speaker 4: you never see. You never see someone that high and 380 00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:38,440 Speaker 4: that low within the same five minutes of each other. 381 00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:43,160 Speaker 4: And so I think there's so much potential there. Throughout camp, 382 00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:46,560 Speaker 4: We've seen him make plays. He's more confident in this offense. 383 00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:50,200 Speaker 4: He's more confident in his abilities. I'm excited to see 384 00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:52,800 Speaker 4: him get on the field and really see what he 385 00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:56,080 Speaker 4: can do in a game, because I think he's going 386 00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:58,520 Speaker 4: to be a little more sturdy, a little more durable, 387 00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:03,440 Speaker 4: a little more confident, and hopefully that leads to more consistent. 388 00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:05,320 Speaker 1: I've said multiple times, I'll try not to repeat it. 389 00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:08,560 Speaker 1: I think the addition of DeAndre Hopkins means he probably 390 00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:11,920 Speaker 1: has to play less offensive snaps, which should make him 391 00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:15,320 Speaker 1: more effective. And the biggest area where he can help 392 00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:17,399 Speaker 1: this team. He can be the best punt returner this 393 00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:19,560 Speaker 1: team has had since Mark Marianni. 394 00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:20,760 Speaker 2: Which is so excited, and. 395 00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:22,760 Speaker 1: This team hasn't returned to punt for a touchdown in 396 00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:26,479 Speaker 1: nearly ten years and really hasn't gotten much out of 397 00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:31,760 Speaker 1: the punt return game overall. That's an area where if 398 00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:35,680 Speaker 1: he's able to concentrate on it, if he's not so winded, 399 00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:38,560 Speaker 1: if he's not so you know whatever, then he's not 400 00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:40,960 Speaker 1: going to fumble a punt. He's not going to put 401 00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:43,800 Speaker 1: that pressure on himself. He's going to do what we 402 00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:45,720 Speaker 1: saw him do on the first punt return of the 403 00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:47,639 Speaker 1: year and what we saw him do in training camp. 404 00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:50,840 Speaker 1: So I think that's a good one because I don't 405 00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:54,400 Speaker 1: think there would be very many people among the ot 406 00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:59,200 Speaker 1: people who would think Kyle Phillips cannot help this football team. 407 00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:02,520 Speaker 1: He clearly can help this football team. He has shown 408 00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:05,439 Speaker 1: that he can help this football team and in a 409 00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:08,960 Speaker 1: very specific role, in a very specific role where this 410 00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:12,520 Speaker 1: team has not always had that guy. They've gone looking 411 00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:16,960 Speaker 1: for that guy in several different places. If he stays healthy, 412 00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:19,720 Speaker 1: I mean, I think he's a I think he's a 413 00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:20,840 Speaker 1: winner in this offense. 414 00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:24,280 Speaker 4: I think he's a guy where almost less is more 415 00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:26,479 Speaker 4: for him. I think if he can focus in on 416 00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:28,600 Speaker 4: what he needs to do and not need to do 417 00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:31,560 Speaker 4: all of the things, I think it's gonna be beneficial 418 00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:33,439 Speaker 4: all the way around. I think he will be a 419 00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:35,920 Speaker 4: better punt returner. I think he'll be a better receiver 420 00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:39,280 Speaker 4: if he is able to focus in on what he 421 00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:41,320 Speaker 4: does really well and do it to the best of 422 00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:41,920 Speaker 4: his ability. 423 00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:45,000 Speaker 1: My first of the three to see is defensive tackle 424 00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:49,080 Speaker 1: Jaden Peevey, who wore seventy two last year and he 425 00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:52,320 Speaker 1: appeared in one game. He's wearing number ninety two. Now 426 00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:55,800 Speaker 1: six ' five listed at three oh eight, first year 427 00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:58,960 Speaker 1: man out of Texas A and M probably weighs less 428 00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:02,240 Speaker 1: than three oh eight. He has slimmed down some. He 429 00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:07,800 Speaker 1: still has the amazing thirty six inch plus arms. It's 430 00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:10,040 Speaker 1: like thirty six and an eighth or thirty six and 431 00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:15,000 Speaker 1: a quarter, which makes him crazy long to be able 432 00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:18,560 Speaker 1: to get into an offensive lineman. He had a great offseason. 433 00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:22,439 Speaker 1: He's taken a lot of snaps. The acting coach for 434 00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:27,119 Speaker 1: this week's game, Terrell Williams, who is the defensive line coach, says, 435 00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:30,879 Speaker 1: this is a guy who's made a move. Can he 436 00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:33,000 Speaker 1: make a move to the point where he's on the 437 00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:36,200 Speaker 1: active roster For all of the talk about the off 438 00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:40,960 Speaker 1: season program and OTAs in the mini camps and we've 439 00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:44,240 Speaker 1: done everything, We've been great in meetings, it's still about 440 00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:48,560 Speaker 1: executing and making plays in his case, for what you're 441 00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:51,320 Speaker 1: asked to do as an interior offensive lineman. You're not 442 00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:53,880 Speaker 1: asked to make every tackle, you're not asked to sack 443 00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:56,919 Speaker 1: the quarterback on every play, but you're asked to do 444 00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:59,640 Speaker 1: your job well enough where you're getting that penetration, you're 445 00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:02,919 Speaker 1: getting that knock back, you're staying in your gaps, and 446 00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:06,280 Speaker 1: then do all of those responsibility things and still be 447 00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:09,520 Speaker 1: able to make some plays.

To further your point, it's very 479 00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:42,280 Speaker 1: hard to tell about the run game in the preseason 480 00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:46,480 Speaker 1: because you're not scheming up in anything. In the run game, 481 00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:48,959 Speaker 1: you're not trying to outflank anybody. 482 00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:51,400 Speaker 4: You're just kind of trying to make plays and run 483 00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:54,560 Speaker 4: the ball, right, Yeah, So will we see all of that? 484 00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:55,199 Speaker 2: I don't know. 485 00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:58,919 Speaker 4: But the kick return game is something that's very interesting 486 00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:00,600 Speaker 4: to me, and I think there there's a lot of 487 00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:02,920 Speaker 4: opportunity for him there as a returner. 488 00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:04,400 Speaker 2: I think that there's. 489 00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:08,159 Speaker 4: There's just a lot of excitement about some of the 490 00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:11,679 Speaker 4: other things that he can provide beyond just the running 491 00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:12,359 Speaker 4: back stuff. 492 00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:15,280 Speaker 2: That's what I'm looking for. 493 00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:18,360 Speaker 4: That's what I'm excited to really see, is where he 494 00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:20,199 Speaker 4: can plug in there and where he can make a 495 00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:23,280 Speaker 4: name for himself beyond just being the other guy with 496 00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:23,920 Speaker 4: twenty two. 497 00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:28,080 Speaker 1: I want to see the shake and that's that's what 498 00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:32,080 Speaker 1: he showed us at the Reese's Senior Bowl. That's why 499 00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:35,159 Speaker 1: when they picked him in the third round, I was excited. 500 00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:39,280 Speaker 1: Even though many thought they should take another position like 501 00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:42,159 Speaker 1: a tight end or wide receiver. I thought, that's a 502 00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:46,719 Speaker 1: guy you can't pass up because what he has that 503 00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:51,080 Speaker 1: very few players have is he's got shake. And if 504 00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:54,160 Speaker 1: he can show that on a kick return, running the ball, 505 00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:57,240 Speaker 1: catching a pass, I think that will get Titans fans 506 00:22:57,280 --> 00:23:00,680 Speaker 1: excited because the more it's like, the media out at 507 00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:04,520 Speaker 1: practice at Ascension Saint Thomas Sports Park has become excited 508 00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:06,160 Speaker 1: about him, watching him because. 509 00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:08,760 Speaker 2: Like, oh, like watch a video game. 510 00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:12,159 Speaker 1: It's it's like whoa what? WHOA? What is that? You know, 511 00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:15,000 Speaker 1: because he's not the biggest guy, and he's not the 512 00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:18,840 Speaker 1: fastest guy, and yet there's something about like when he's 513 00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:21,760 Speaker 1: in the one on one tackling drills and the guy 514 00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:24,360 Speaker 1: has to come to balance and decide which way he's 515 00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:27,080 Speaker 1: going to go. I mean, it's very difficult because there 516 00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:30,560 Speaker 1: is an element to him that is just God given. 517 00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:31,119 Speaker 1: It's shake. 518 00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:34,320 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's hard to decride. I mean, shake is the 519 00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:36,800 Speaker 4: right saying. But I can't talk about him without like 520 00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:38,800 Speaker 4: moving my whole body somehow. 521 00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:39,399 Speaker 1: You know. 522 00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:42,119 Speaker 4: It's like I can't find the word for exactly what 523 00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:42,920 Speaker 4: it is he does. 524 00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:46,399 Speaker 2: It's like a I can't like, I can't say it. 525 00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:47,480 Speaker 2: I just have to move. 526 00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:50,280 Speaker 4: Some people have shake, I know, and that that's what 527 00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:50,719 Speaker 4: it is. 528 00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:54,160 Speaker 2: It's shake. I didn't I guess I've never thought about 529 00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:57,480 Speaker 2: it before. But it's just it's a it's a way 530 00:23:57,520 --> 00:23:57,880 Speaker 2: of life. 531 00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:02,399 Speaker 1: It's it's it's shake. It's not learned, No, I mean 532 00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:06,320 Speaker 1: you can learn how to master it. It's a god given. Yeah, 533 00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:08,879 Speaker 1: there's something about him that is just totally different. 534 00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:11,199 Speaker 4: I'm so glad that we have added video to the 535 00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:15,560 Speaker 4: OTP because I can't because it I just have to move. 536 00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:20,520 Speaker 1: You've shown the shake, all right. So my second of 537 00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:25,440 Speaker 1: the three to see is Reggie Robertson. No, I mean 538 00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:30,439 Speaker 1: this guy has shown up as a wide receiver. The 539 00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:32,840 Speaker 1: back end of the wide receiver corps is not set. 540 00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:35,760 Speaker 1: We know that there's gonna be a lot of guys battling. 541 00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:39,680 Speaker 1: We're gonna see Kiss Jackson from Georgia, an undrafted rookie. 542 00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:44,119 Speaker 1: We're gonna have a chance to see Treyshawn Harrison. Obviously, 543 00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:47,680 Speaker 1: Mason Kenzie is still fighting for a spot. Uh. There, 544 00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:50,959 Speaker 1: you know Colton Dow, the seventh round pick, is fighting 545 00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:55,159 Speaker 1: at the back end of the roster. Reggie Robertson is 546 00:24:55,200 --> 00:25:00,959 Speaker 1: a guy that when he's good, he is really really good. 547 00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:03,600 Speaker 1: And for the most part, he's been really really good 548 00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:09,840 Speaker 1: in practice. Inconsistency is what has been the bugaboo for 549 00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:13,520 Speaker 1: him through his time. Now he's he's come back from 550 00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:16,360 Speaker 1: fully come back from the surgery. Now from a couple 551 00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:20,200 Speaker 1: of years ago, he looks more confident. He's playing faster. 552 00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:23,480 Speaker 1: I think he may have a chance to show big. 553 00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:26,680 Speaker 1: But we'll see. I mean, this is this is certainly 554 00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:27,240 Speaker 1: his moment. 555 00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:30,040 Speaker 2: That's Ah, that was a good one too. You've got 556 00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:30,560 Speaker 2: a good list. 557 00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:32,639 Speaker 1: Well, let's see what your third one looks like. 558 00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:35,080 Speaker 4: Okay, so my third one, I'm going to the defensive 559 00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:36,960 Speaker 4: side of the ball. Now we've got to switch at 560 00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:37,880 Speaker 4: some point here. 561 00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:39,720 Speaker 2: Manti Rice. 562 00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:40,399 Speaker 1: Okay. 563 00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:44,119 Speaker 4: I'm excited to see what he is going to be 564 00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:48,280 Speaker 4: able to do. The poor guy struggled with injury throughout 565 00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:51,600 Speaker 4: his career as a Titan, and I think that that 566 00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:54,320 Speaker 4: his kind of It's like he's never been able to 567 00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:57,000 Speaker 4: really get traction. You know, we've seen some good things 568 00:25:57,040 --> 00:26:00,720 Speaker 4: from him. Obviously, he's familiar with this defense. He's familiar 569 00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:03,480 Speaker 4: with this team. You just want to see him get 570 00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:05,640 Speaker 4: his wheels on the ground and really take off. And 571 00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:08,240 Speaker 4: so that's what I'm excited to see. I'm excited to 572 00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:10,680 Speaker 4: see him healthy. I'm excited to get to see him 573 00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:13,399 Speaker 4: get in the rotation, really see what he can bring 574 00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:17,399 Speaker 4: to the defense. I think that I think there's a 575 00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:20,080 Speaker 4: lot to watch. I think that that linebackers group is 576 00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:23,000 Speaker 4: kind of an exciting group. It is, and so I'm 577 00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:25,800 Speaker 4: excited to see what he's able to bring to it 578 00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:29,920 Speaker 4: and where he's able to kind of find his niche niche. 579 00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:31,760 Speaker 2: Where he's able to find his niche. 580 00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:36,360 Speaker 1: I say niche, but on on HGTV they say niche. 581 00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:39,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, so it could be a niche niche. Yeah, I 582 00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:40,600 Speaker 2: guess that's how it's. 583 00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:43,800 Speaker 1: A niche space. But if you're just calling it the 584 00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:45,880 Speaker 1: space by its name, it's a niche. Yes. 585 00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:49,720 Speaker 2: Well, I'm hoping he finds a spot. Yeah. 586 00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:52,119 Speaker 1: Well, I mean, as he's Al Shier is the leader 587 00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:54,720 Speaker 1: of that group, right, And I don't think I'm breaking 588 00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:57,719 Speaker 1: any news by saying. I mean he's just come in 589 00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:00,400 Speaker 1: and it's just like I'm the boss, and yeah, that's 590 00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:03,640 Speaker 1: the that's the way this runs. And then you've got 591 00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:08,640 Speaker 1: Jack Gibbons who's really playing well, and Chance Campbell who's 592 00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:11,560 Speaker 1: come back from injury and he's playing well. And then 593 00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:15,159 Speaker 1: they bring in a guy like Benneman who's a veteran linebacker. 594 00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:17,600 Speaker 1: And the other guy that they bring in, Luke Gifford, 595 00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:22,320 Speaker 1: who can play inside linebacker, has great length, and he's 596 00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:25,000 Speaker 1: going to be a special teams stalwart. So I mean 597 00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:28,679 Speaker 1: there's a there's sort of a squish in that area. 598 00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:31,880 Speaker 1: You know, there's a there's a tightening of all of 599 00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:34,920 Speaker 1: that at the linebacker. Well, somebody's gonna have to yep, 600 00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:38,520 Speaker 1: that's a great point. Watch the linebackers. Uh. My final 601 00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:42,680 Speaker 1: of the three to see is Adam Rupsich six six 602 00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:48,200 Speaker 1: three eighteen out of Culver Stockton. That's in Missouri, right, Sure, 603 00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:50,080 Speaker 1: you're from Missouri. You don't know that well? 604 00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:54,080 Speaker 4: I mean, I don't know all of the places Surrey, 605 00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:58,080 Speaker 4: how do I Not? Everybody is as well versed in 606 00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:00,000 Speaker 4: their home state as you are, Mike Keith. 607 00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:06,960 Speaker 1: Okay, fine, Rupsich comes out of this very small program 608 00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:13,359 Speaker 1: and he is six six three eighteen, And I think 609 00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:18,600 Speaker 1: Andrew would be that big even if he weren't a 610 00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:19,359 Speaker 1: football player. 611 00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:20,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, just naturally. 612 00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:26,920 Speaker 1: He's a naturally large human. He's got some athleticism, he's competitive, 613 00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:29,680 Speaker 1: he was on the practice squad all of last year. 614 00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:33,720 Speaker 1: He took a red shirt which he needed and has 615 00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:38,880 Speaker 1: transformed his body, is playing different positions, and my question 616 00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:41,600 Speaker 1: about him is, I don't think Andrew. I don't think 617 00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:44,640 Speaker 1: at this time at least that Andrew Rupsich is probably 618 00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:48,440 Speaker 1: a starter on September tenth at New Orleans. But the 619 00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:53,640 Speaker 1: question becomes, does Andrew Rupsig make the team as the 620 00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:57,600 Speaker 1: eighth of the ninth offensive lineman because he can play 621 00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:02,520 Speaker 1: multiple positions. There are several guys that would be competing 622 00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:05,880 Speaker 1: in that area. With Nicholas petif Frere suspended for the 623 00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:10,560 Speaker 1: first six games, you would have a John leglu who 624 00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:14,640 Speaker 1: has played some some ball for the Steelers at different points. Uh, 625 00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:18,240 Speaker 1: They've just brought in a veteran player and Justin Murray 626 00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:20,840 Speaker 1: who would be fighting for that. They've just bought in 627 00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:24,600 Speaker 1: a veteran player in Jimmy Murray, who is fighting for that. 628 00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:28,080 Speaker 1: Because you're you're looking for guys outside the first five 629 00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:30,760 Speaker 1: who can be part of your EID on game day 630 00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:34,560 Speaker 1: and probably part of your nine offensive linemen on the roster. 631 00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:39,600 Speaker 1: Could could Rupsich be back on the practice quite sure? Yeah, 632 00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:42,520 Speaker 1: I mean, but I'm wondering does he take the step 633 00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:46,480 Speaker 1: because you just don't see many guys and the Titans 634 00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:49,000 Speaker 1: have two of them right now, Jalen Duncan, who they 635 00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:55,880 Speaker 1: drafted out of Maryland and Andrew Rupsig. Great size, Yeah, naturally, 636 00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:59,000 Speaker 1: I mean Duncan's six six three oh five and he's 637 00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:02,840 Speaker 1: another one. He would be that big a man no 638 00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:05,440 Speaker 1: matter what. And the reason I say that is when 639 00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:09,480 Speaker 1: you're that big a human, naturally, you're generally a better 640 00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:13,240 Speaker 1: athlete because you're not bulking up or you're you know, 641 00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:15,640 Speaker 1: this is who you are, this is how you. It's 642 00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:18,080 Speaker 1: like Ben how Ben Jones was. Ben Jones was a 643 00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:21,040 Speaker 1: great baseball player because he was naturally as big as 644 00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:25,720 Speaker 1: he was, and so his athleticism was, you know, caught 645 00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:27,280 Speaker 1: up with his body size, so to speak. 646 00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:31,000 Speaker 4: Right, And those people are so valuable to any team, 647 00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:34,720 Speaker 4: but especially to this team where you've got to have 648 00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:36,800 Speaker 4: that depth, You've got to have those guys that can 649 00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:39,120 Speaker 4: fill in in multiple different places. 650 00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:41,160 Speaker 2: It's just so useful to have. 651 00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:44,479 Speaker 4: And even if he were to end up either one 652 00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:47,280 Speaker 4: of those guys were able to end up on a 653 00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:51,600 Speaker 4: practice squad. It's still so valuable because of the grind 654 00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:54,440 Speaker 4: of a regular season and you've got a lot of 655 00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:57,959 Speaker 4: football to play, and you're taking a beating at that position. 656 00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:02,120 Speaker 2: All along the offensive line. You need to have that depth. 657 00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:04,120 Speaker 4: You need to have those people that you can rely 658 00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:07,040 Speaker 4: on to say, all right, next man up, let's go. 659 00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:10,040 Speaker 2: I think that over the years, we've seen. 660 00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:13,320 Speaker 4: What a premium there is on guys who are big, 661 00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:16,680 Speaker 4: who are naturally gifted and strong and can fill in 662 00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:18,920 Speaker 4: in a lot of different places. So being able to 663 00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:22,360 Speaker 4: find a couple of them to have just to help 664 00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:24,120 Speaker 4: this team awesome. 665 00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:28,000 Speaker 1: Amy's three to see in Chicago.

She was very 693 00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:56,960 Speaker 1: nice when she was here at w k R n 694 00:32:57,360 --> 00:32:59,720 Speaker 1: and she's done well. And that's one of those people 695 00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:02,320 Speaker 1: you all he's pulled for. And I'm very happy that 696 00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:04,160 Speaker 1: she's a big star nationally now. 697 00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:06,200 Speaker 2: I hope she's coming around more this season. 698 00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:10,920 Speaker 1: To the head coach for Saturday's game at Chicago will 699 00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:16,400 Speaker 1: be Terrell Williams. Yeah, and he's the defensive line coach. 700 00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:22,120 Speaker 1: This does not surprise me because Mike Rabel made him 701 00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:26,320 Speaker 1: the assistant head coach in the off season and in 702 00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:29,600 Speaker 1: talking about it and in discussing this move this week, 703 00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:33,280 Speaker 1: Mike brought up something interesting. He said that Big T, 704 00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:38,720 Speaker 1: as he's called around here. You know, at times, to 705 00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:40,920 Speaker 1: be honest, we have had to stop and look and see, 706 00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:44,440 Speaker 1: oh it's Terrell Williams because everybody's like, hey Tea, hey 707 00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:44,920 Speaker 1: big T. 708 00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:47,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, sometimes you forget well, I. 709 00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:50,080 Speaker 1: Mean he's just like the nicest guy. He has a 710 00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:53,440 Speaker 1: relationship with people throughout the team. 711 00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:54,560 Speaker 2: Yah. 712 00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:58,440 Speaker 1: He is a coach that transcends just the defensive line 713 00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:01,600 Speaker 1: or the defensive room. He has a relationship throughout the 714 00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:04,200 Speaker 1: ball club. And who does that make me think of? 715 00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:09,279 Speaker 1: Mike Rabel? Oh and you think about this. One of 716 00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:12,480 Speaker 1: the reasons DeAndre Hopkins said he was interested in Tennessee 717 00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:16,759 Speaker 1: is that he had a relationship with Mike Rabel. They 718 00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:18,280 Speaker 1: really didn't have much to do with football. 719 00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:19,040 Speaker 4: He just liked him. 720 00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:22,680 Speaker 1: They talked about things. He was a guy that reached 721 00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:26,120 Speaker 1: out beyond barriers. He wasn't a position coach who just 722 00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:29,000 Speaker 1: tried to stay focused in on his area and acted 723 00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:31,480 Speaker 1: like other positions didn't exist or another side of the 724 00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:34,719 Speaker 1: ball didn't exist. I think it's an exciting thing, and 725 00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:38,680 Speaker 1: I think the players think it's a very exciting thing 726 00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:41,000 Speaker 1: because they like Terrell Williams so much. 727 00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:45,200 Speaker 4: Absolutely, I think that it's a great opportunity for big 728 00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:51,719 Speaker 4: t Trolliams to expand and kind of get that experience 729 00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:56,520 Speaker 4: and get that exposure to what kind of the grind 730 00:34:56,560 --> 00:34:58,480 Speaker 4: of being a head coach looks like and what that 731 00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:01,719 Speaker 4: cadence is like in that room team. And I think 732 00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:04,480 Speaker 4: the players are excited for him and they're responding to it. 733 00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:11,800 Speaker 4: You know, they're excited about having the opportunity to almost 734 00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:14,680 Speaker 4: make him look good. You know, does that make sense, 735 00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:17,879 Speaker 4: of course, to have the opportunity to show him off 736 00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:20,960 Speaker 4: and what he's able to do, because coaching. 737 00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:23,920 Speaker 2: And the performance on the field are so intertwined. 738 00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:26,719 Speaker 4: Sure, so I think that that's something the whole team 739 00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:29,799 Speaker 4: is responding to and listen, this is the most Mike 740 00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:33,400 Speaker 4: Vrabel move you could possibly see him having the idea 741 00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:36,040 Speaker 4: to do this. He said that it was something he 742 00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:38,480 Speaker 4: thought about during the off season and then it all 743 00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:42,360 Speaker 4: kind of came together. And I think that this is 744 00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:46,240 Speaker 4: Mike Rabel doing what Mike Rabel does, which is caring 745 00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:49,480 Speaker 4: about the people that are around him, caring about his staff, 746 00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:53,279 Speaker 4: wanting to invest in them beyond just winning a football game, 747 00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:57,919 Speaker 4: beyond just prepping for the season. This is an opportunity 748 00:35:58,040 --> 00:36:01,080 Speaker 4: to invest in that coach's future. It's an opportunity to 749 00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:05,000 Speaker 4: invest in this team and the culture as a whole, 750 00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:08,920 Speaker 4: showing that hey, when you show me that you deserve 751 00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:12,360 Speaker 4: an opportunity, I'm giving you the opportunity. And that is 752 00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:16,719 Speaker 4: so on message with what he says all of the time, 753 00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:19,560 Speaker 4: and he is continuing to put his money where his 754 00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:22,280 Speaker 4: mouth is and just build relationships. 755 00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:24,839 Speaker 1: I think three things. Number one, it's a great thing 756 00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:30,120 Speaker 1: for the organization to do. I think number two, Terrell 757 00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:32,560 Speaker 1: Williams is already getting a lot of publicity and most 758 00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:35,120 Speaker 1: people around the NFL did not know who he was 759 00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:39,000 Speaker 1: because you honestly you cannot name thirty two defensive line 760 00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:42,160 Speaker 1: coaches in the NFL. Most people who love the NFL 761 00:36:42,239 --> 00:36:44,839 Speaker 1: couldn't name but three or four. And yet now you're 762 00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:47,800 Speaker 1: going to know this name. And as Sarah Walsh and 763 00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:51,800 Speaker 1: Ian Rapaport and Scott Pioli we're here today from NFL Network, 764 00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:54,680 Speaker 1: that's certainly a focus of what they do. So that's 765 00:36:54,719 --> 00:36:56,840 Speaker 1: a good thing. I think the other thing, too, is 766 00:36:57,600 --> 00:37:02,040 Speaker 1: it gives the team a little sort of jolt for 767 00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:06,960 Speaker 1: a first preseason game. It makes it a little more interesting. 768 00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:10,440 Speaker 1: It kind of focuses them in just a little bit more. Now. 769 00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:12,480 Speaker 1: I don't think it's going to be the difference in 770 00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:15,640 Speaker 1: winning and losing the game, because winning and losing in 771 00:37:15,719 --> 00:37:18,680 Speaker 1: the preseason is not the big thing. But Mike is 772 00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:23,520 Speaker 1: looking for any advantage to add a little focus, to 773 00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:26,680 Speaker 1: add a little spend, to add a little interest. He 774 00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:29,759 Speaker 1: does it in practice. He does it with things like this, 775 00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:32,320 Speaker 1: He does it in meetings. He does it with what 776 00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:36,239 Speaker 1: we're doing next week with the Titans Foundation Luncheon, which 777 00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:40,080 Speaker 1: on August the fifteenth, We're having the Foundation Luncheon at 778 00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:43,160 Speaker 1: the Grand Hyatt to raise money for the Titans Foundation, 779 00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:45,440 Speaker 1: which gives away a lot of money. It'll be the 780 00:37:45,520 --> 00:37:49,600 Speaker 1: first time we have ever had the whole team. The 781 00:37:49,719 --> 00:37:53,879 Speaker 1: whole team, yeah, at any event since we've been here. 782 00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:54,720 Speaker 2: Awesome. 783 00:37:55,080 --> 00:37:58,080 Speaker 1: I mean that's hard. It's hard to do. It's not 784 00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:01,600 Speaker 1: that people didn't care. But so he thinks that's going 785 00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:03,560 Speaker 1: to be a big deal. As the team's on their 786 00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:06,439 Speaker 1: way to Minnesota to practice. So that's something the whole 787 00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:10,400 Speaker 1: team can do together. That's like this, you know, and 788 00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:14,239 Speaker 1: and so I I think everybody's first thought. Who knows 789 00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:18,720 Speaker 1: anything about what we do here, they've been like, wow, cool, 790 00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:23,239 Speaker 1: good for Big T and and good for you know, 791 00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:27,840 Speaker 1: the organization overall, good for Vrabel. I just think a 792 00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:28,440 Speaker 1: perfect thing. 793 00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:32,719 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a shakeup wells. 794 00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:35,920 Speaker 1: And it will be interesting for Vrabel too, because when 795 00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:38,439 Speaker 1: he was out for the game a couple of years 796 00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:41,080 Speaker 1: ago when he got COVID, he had to be at 797 00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:44,239 Speaker 1: home because he was obviously sick, and he said he 798 00:38:44,360 --> 00:38:46,920 Speaker 1: thought that was valuable as he watched it. It will 799 00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:50,520 Speaker 1: be an interesting viewpoint too, to kind of see the 800 00:38:50,680 --> 00:38:54,680 Speaker 1: dynamics of the communication among the staff and to look 801 00:38:54,719 --> 00:38:58,160 Speaker 1: at the side his sideline from a different standpoint than 802 00:38:58,280 --> 00:39:00,480 Speaker 1: what he knows. He won't learn everything because it's not 803 00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:03,640 Speaker 1: a regular season game, but he's always looking to pick 804 00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:07,399 Speaker 1: up one or two little things that they can do better. 805 00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:10,360 Speaker 4: And that's the The other part of this that I 806 00:39:10,440 --> 00:39:14,600 Speaker 4: think is so interesting and so beneficial is that it's 807 00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:16,680 Speaker 4: not like Mike Rabel's gonna be out of town, right, 808 00:39:16,800 --> 00:39:18,000 Speaker 4: He's not going to be at the house. 809 00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:19,120 Speaker 1: Yeah. 810 00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:21,400 Speaker 4: No, he's going to be there.

It gives everybody the 813 00:39:27,440 --> 00:39:32,680 Speaker 4: opportunity to kind of readjust the kaleidoscope and the picture 814 00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:35,400 Speaker 4: comes in to focus a little bit differently. What can 815 00:39:35,520 --> 00:39:38,200 Speaker 4: you glean in that time that you take into the 816 00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:40,760 Speaker 4: regular season that you notice maybe you wanted. 817 00:39:40,520 --> 00:39:43,480 Speaker 1: To maybe Spears has a little shake. 818 00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:47,719 Speaker 4: Oh there you go, Yeah, a little shake.
