1
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:13,880
Speaker 1: This is the OTP presented by Far Bureau Health Plans.

2
00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:16,480
Speaker 1: Healthcare coverage from Far Bureau Health Plans is like an

3
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:18,520
Speaker 1: extra set of pads when you need them the most.

4
00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:22,720
Speaker 1: They've been protecting Tennessee and since nineteen forty seven. From Tampa,

5
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:26,520
Speaker 1: Florida with Amy Wells. I'm Mike Keith. First day of

6
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:30,520
Speaker 1: joint practices between the Titans and the Buccaneers in the books,

7
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 1: Amy Wells. First note of the day. Hot. It was

8
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:38,479
Speaker 1: so hot, and I actually felt like we were kind

9
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:42,320
Speaker 1: of fortunate because Nashville has had a pretty hot summer anyway,

10
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaker 1: so we are kind of used to being hot and

11
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:48,960
Speaker 1: muggy and sticky. Florida takes it to a whole new level. Though,

12
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:51,640
Speaker 1: this was, I mean something special. Didn't you say it

13
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 1: was a record setting heat today? Well, the practice was

14
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 1: this morning. As we record this in the afternoon, the

15
00:00:57,080 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 1: temperature is a record high for this date at ninety

16
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:04,080
Speaker 1: six degrees, breaking a one hundred five year old record.

17
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:08,120
Speaker 1: But ninety six degrees is one thing the feels like

18
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 1: is one hundred and nine. This morning, as we approached noon,

19
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 1: the temperature was close to ninety and the fields like

20
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:17,840
Speaker 1: was one hundred and two, but I didn't think either

21
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:22,120
Speaker 1: team showed many ill effects from the heat. One wonders

22
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 1: if there will be carry over into tomorrow because of that, however, right,

23
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 1: And I think that that's where the summer that Nashville

24
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 1: has had really kind of helped the Titans, because I

25
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 1: know that the Bucks have typically been holding their practices

26
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:37,839
Speaker 1: around eight or eight thirty. Pushed it back an hour

27
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 1: for these two joint practices. Not really sure why, but

28
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 1: there were some rumblings that maybe the weather will be

29
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 1: an impact. But because the Titans have been in a

30
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 1: hot summer anyway, this team was pretty used to the weather.

31
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 1: It didn't seem like a factor. Well, and let's face it,

32
00:01:54,440 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 1: two September twelve against Arizona and September twenty six against Indianapolis.

33
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 1: It's going to be hot in Nashville. Yeah, we do

34
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 1: hot things like it gets hot in Nashville, Tennessee. People

35
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 1: don't think about that, but it gets toasty, and we've

36
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 1: played some hot games. So good experience for the team.

37
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 1: Good for them to be able to get this work

38
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 1: in in these conditions. But it didn't seem to be

39
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 1: stopping them. It was still a solid practice, all right. No,

40
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 1: Julio Jones or A J. Brown at wide receiver, kicker,

41
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 1: Tucker McCann is out, safety Matthias Farley, safety, Dane Crookshank out,

42
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 1: Darrnton Evans out, Ben Jones out, Deniko Autry, and Jeff

43
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:36,079
Speaker 1: Swain also out. So some of the names that you

44
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,240
Speaker 1: thought would not do much did not do much today

45
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 1: and still a lot of good work. Impressive to see

46
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 1: what the Titans were able to do against the Bucks,

47
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:49,920
Speaker 1: and and the Bucks were impressive to It looked like

48
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 1: two really good teams squaring off, much like two years

49
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:57,919
Speaker 1: ago when the Patriots came into practice against the type

50
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 1: absolutely and we've talked about wanting to go against good

51
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 1: competition in the preseason to really kind of get a

52
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 1: benchmark of where you measure up to the reigning world champions,

53
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:12,520
Speaker 1: so you want to kind of see where that is.

54
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 1: And the Titans one hundred percent held their own. It

55
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 1: looked like a very competitive, really high intensity camp practice.

56
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:23,240
Speaker 1: It was great and the Tennessee Titans should feel good

57
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 1: about the work that they did today. Dane Crookshank, of course,

58
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 1: is one of the safeties that was out, and I

59
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 1: mentioned Matthias Farley as well. So the Titans have brought

60
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 1: in three new safeties. Clayton Gathers, who played for the Colts.

61
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 1: You may remember him. He's a sixth year man out

62
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 1: of Central Florida. He opted out of twenty twenty after

63
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 1: five years in Indianapolis. Bradley McDougall, who's a little bit older,

64
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 1: he's almost thirty one, has spent a great deal of

65
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 1: his time in the league in Seattle. If I'm not mistaken,

66
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 1: if I have everything squared away, he is in. And

67
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 1: then they also brought in Jamal Carter, a fourth year

68
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 1: man out of Miami, Florid Artists. So getting some work,

69
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 1: you know, with the second and third groups. Is the

70
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 1: Titans are not very deep at safety. But the secondary

71
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 1: was a primary focus of what we watched today, Amy

72
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 1: because we wanted to see Tom Brady, Rob Gronkowski, Mike Evans,

73
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:20,920
Speaker 1: Chris Godwin, and the list goes on and on of

74
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 1: the Buccaneers passing attack go at the Titans secondary. And

75
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 1: I thought overall, the secondary for the Titans had a

76
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 1: pretty good day. It is very apparent that the secondary

77
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,839
Speaker 1: was a point of emphasis in the offseason. They look

78
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 1: so different than they did a year ago at this

79
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 1: time and the speed is what really sticks out. I mean,

80
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:48,039
Speaker 1: we watched Caleb Farley was able to just come out

81
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 1: of nowhere sometimes he is so fast, and there are

82
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:55,559
Speaker 1: a couple different players. Jack Rabbit is another one who's

83
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 1: just fast and he always seems to be right where

84
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 1: the ball is. So to see some of these new

85
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:05,359
Speaker 1: editions really kind of showing up as advertised in doing

86
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 1: what the Titans really need them to do, which is

87
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:12,159
Speaker 1: be fast and be where the ball is. Awesome. Christian

88
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:16,159
Speaker 1: Fulton had plays today. Monty Hooker had another interception. He

89
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 1: made a couple plays today, which is what he has

90
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 1: continued to do. You mentioned Jack Rabbit. Jenkins had an

91
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:25,680
Speaker 1: interception that he returned for a touchdown on a tip

92
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:30,239
Speaker 1: ball was intended for Gronkowski. Let's go back to Caleb

93
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 1: Parley for a second biggest work that he's had in

94
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:38,719
Speaker 1: training camp. Great situation. He lost a couple, he lost

95
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:43,160
Speaker 1: one badly, but he won a couple, including one with

96
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 1: Mike Evans. And if you'll remember two years ago game

97
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 1: in Nashville, Mike Evans had one hundred and ninety eight

98
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 1: yards receiving against the Titans through the third quarter. Mike

99
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:57,279
Speaker 1: Evans seven straight years to begin his career with over

100
00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 1: a thousand yards receiving. He's big, he's fast, he's talented,

101
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 1: and Farley stayed with him and beat him to knock

102
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:08,279
Speaker 1: a ball down. You see the potential of Farley. You

103
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:12,839
Speaker 1: see the confidence gaining in Farley all the time. And

104
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 1: I think this has really come at the right time

105
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:19,480
Speaker 1: for him, this work, after coming off the back surgery,

106
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:23,159
Speaker 1: starting camp on NFI, I think we see what he's

107
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:25,920
Speaker 1: all about. And this is what Mike Vrabel was alluding

108
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:28,279
Speaker 1: to a week ago when he said we're giving him more.

109
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 1: We're giving him a little bit more every day, and

110
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:35,040
Speaker 1: this is kind of the next step, is him not

111
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 1: just reading the playbook, understanding that, understanding some of the

112
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 1: intricacies of the position that he hasn't played for that long.

113
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:45,800
Speaker 1: Now he's to the point where it's all right, let's

114
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 1: see what you can do when things are kind of

115
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:50,719
Speaker 1: rocking and rolling, you know, when you've got to make

116
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 1: plays when your number is called. And I think that

117
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 1: showing that he's able to do that even he think

118
00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:00,840
Speaker 1: as a rookie and he's only been ac for a

119
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 1: little while, so yeah, I mean, he still is a

120
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,920
Speaker 1: tremendous about to learn and he is by no means

121
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 1: perfect and the savior of all things. But I think

122
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 1: he's going to be a quality player once he gets

123
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 1: himself up to speed. And we saw the next step today.

124
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 1: I think we did too. And I think we saw

125
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 1: the next step for Elijah Bolden. He had an interception,

126
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 1: he made several interesting plays in the slot. I think

127
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 1: he's going to start to push now. For what we

128
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 1: thought when they got him in the third round and

129
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 1: what was surprising that he was there is to get

130
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 1: this defensive back who really fits an NFL nickel perfectly.

131
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 1: We saw plays out of him today that make you say, hmm,

132
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 1: I certainly get what he's all about. He grabbed a

133
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 1: lot of attention. Yeah, And he's been fun to watch

134
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:53,320
Speaker 1: through camp. It's been fun to watch him learn and

135
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 1: continue to work on some of the more finite details

136
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 1: of what he's being asked to do and really understand

137
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 1: his position and how he can be successful. I feel

138
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 1: like from day one of camp too, now he looks

139
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 1: like he's made tremendous improvement. And I mean I am

140
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 1: not an evaluator of talent. I'm just a person who's

141
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 1: been watching him and I can even see some marked improvement. Yeah,

142
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 1: Elijah Molden did a good job today. Listen. The Buccaneers

143
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 1: had some plays on offense. The Titans got beat deep

144
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 1: a couple of times. You know, there would have been

145
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 1: plays that Brady would have made at different points, or

146
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 1: receivers made some good moves. I mean, it's Tom Brady,

147
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:35,520
Speaker 1: I know. I just think that, and I say that

148
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:38,840
Speaker 1: to kind of put it in context. The Titans secondary

149
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 1: had answers at different points, and unlike two years ago

150
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:46,960
Speaker 1: when Brady cut him up in seven on sevens and

151
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,720
Speaker 1: one on ones when he was in with the Patriots

152
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 1: and he did not have as good a cast of

153
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:58,560
Speaker 1: characters around him as he did today, it was impressive

154
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 1: to see them make his many plays as they did

155
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:03,960
Speaker 1: in my opinion, And so I think there's a good

156
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:06,080
Speaker 1: feeling that you can have from that. And that was

157
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 1: without a pass rush. Right. So the thing to watch

158
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 1: tomorrow is can they continue it into the second day.

159
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:15,720
Speaker 1: That's going to be the telltale sign because both of

160
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:18,240
Speaker 1: these teams have tape and they are both going to

161
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:21,720
Speaker 1: be watching it, evaluating, correcting things, and then coming back

162
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:24,720
Speaker 1: together tomorrow to do it all over again. So that's

163
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:28,200
Speaker 1: going to be the real sign. Linebacker Monty Rice suffered

164
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 1: the only main injury we saw. It looked like it

165
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 1: was a foot or an ankle that he twisted when backpeddling.

166
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 1: Don't know much about that. The rookie linebacker has been

167
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 1: doing a good job and so hopefully that's not too serious.

168
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 1: Good day for the secondary. Again, we watched a lot

169
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 1: of defense what I did see out of offense, though

170
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:51,560
Speaker 1: I watched the wide receivers a good bit. Nick Westbrook

171
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 1: a Kena really made some plays. Chester Rogers continues to

172
00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:01,079
Speaker 1: make plays. This guy wants a job, and Marcus Johnson

173
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:05,319
Speaker 1: continues to be a steady guy. You know. Josh Reynolds

174
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 1: did a few things and it's good to see him

175
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 1: continuing to work back into you know, really all of

176
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 1: the you know, all of the rotations. Again, the top

177
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:18,480
Speaker 1: two guys out, so some of the guys down the

178
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 1: line getting more chances. Westbrook, aken Or Rogers and Johnson

179
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:24,520
Speaker 1: the three that jumped out to me, right, and we

180
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:27,959
Speaker 1: kind of knew that this was a possibility that they

181
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:30,320
Speaker 1: would be the guys that would be getting the lion's

182
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 1: share of the work. And so again tomorrow is going

183
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:37,520
Speaker 1: to be the big day to see how the defense

184
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 1: adjusts to some of the things they're able to do,

185
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 1: and are these receivers able to take the notes and

186
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 1: still be successful. Tomorrow I think tomorrow I'm going to

187
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 1: focus on offense. Mike, Yeah, I think that's the right thing.

188
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 1: I want to watch the receivers. I want to watch

189
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 1: some of the offensive linemen because some of the guys

190
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:57,960
Speaker 1: who will not be starting are going to be getting

191
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 1: more chances some of the one on one drills. I want. Yeah,

192
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:05,720
Speaker 1: I want to see offense. I'm going to turn a

193
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:09,160
Speaker 1: little bit more that way. Speaking of that, So after practice,

194
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 1: I was standing around while you were doing actual work,

195
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 1: and was very usual. I was watching Tom Brady on

196
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 1: his own practice, and Tom Brady was spending post practice

197
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 1: time in ninety degree heat working on rolling to his

198
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:31,080
Speaker 1: left against his throwing hand. He's a right handed passer,

199
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:34,200
Speaker 1: and it's much easier to roll right, as you may

200
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:38,600
Speaker 1: have guessed, than it is to roll left when you're

201
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 1: right handed quarterback. And yet he is still at age

202
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:46,560
Speaker 1: forty four, in the heat, standing out there after practice

203
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 1: working on rolling to his left and making sure he's

204
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 1: getting his shoulders squared to make the right throw. Fundamental

205
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:59,080
Speaker 1: things fundamental things. Fundamental things and the thought process. I mean,

206
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 1: now that he's not in New England, I think I

207
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 1: appreciate him more. Yeah, because you know, we had to

208
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 1: play New England. We lost to them fifty nine to nothing.

209
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:11,800
Speaker 1: He knocked us out of the playoffs one year he

210
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 1: was you know, it was not much fun being against

211
00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:19,000
Speaker 1: Tom Brady with the Patriots. But now that he's in

212
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:21,680
Speaker 1: the other conference and you see him a different way,

213
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,960
Speaker 1: it's almost like you have a chance to really appreciate

214
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:28,560
Speaker 1: the work that he puts in to be who he is,

215
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 1: because much like Peyton Manning, he is not the most

216
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 1: natural looking athlete, right. Tom Brady was gangly when he

217
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:40,720
Speaker 1: came into the league, and he has certainly built himself

218
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:43,480
Speaker 1: into a different sort of athlete. And yet he doesn't

219
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 1: look like a Patrick Mahomes. He doesn't look like a

220
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisburger. He you know, he doesn't look like Josh Allen.

221
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:53,560
Speaker 1: And yet he's the greatest quarterback of all time in

222
00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:56,920
Speaker 1: terms of Super Bowl wins. Absolutely, I think I think

223
00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 1: you're right that I have a new found respect for

224
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 1: him now that he is with a different team and

225
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:05,560
Speaker 1: is still performing at a high level and still able

226
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 1: to do what he's able to do. I mean, to

227
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 1: be honest, I kind of thought he was a fraud.

228
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:12,000
Speaker 1: And I mean I knew that the Super Bowls and

229
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 1: all that stuff, but it was him and Belichick and

230
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:17,319
Speaker 1: they had all these great teams and it just felt like, oh,

231
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:19,640
Speaker 1: the Patriots can do everything, and he was just part

232
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:23,320
Speaker 1: of the bigger Patriots whatever. And now we're able to

233
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:25,960
Speaker 1: see that he's the real deal. And you're right, being

234
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:28,439
Speaker 1: able to see the way that he works up close,

235
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:31,600
Speaker 1: you can't help but respect that. The thing is too

236
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:35,480
Speaker 1: forty four years old. Yeah, it's for an athlete, it's

237
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 1: it's ancient. But when you get into your forties, no

238
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 1: matter whether you're an athlete or not, things start to

239
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:45,719
Speaker 1: break down. Everything starts to creak and pop a little bit. Well,

240
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 1: there's no question and for him to continue, like Peyton

241
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:54,200
Speaker 1: Manning didn't make it to forty in football. Peyton Manning

242
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:57,080
Speaker 1: is still alive, I know. But the point is, and

243
00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:01,200
Speaker 1: Peyton would still be playing if he could. But for

244
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:06,880
Speaker 1: the majority of athletes, time catches you for something physical.

245
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:09,200
Speaker 1: You know, Peyton had the shoulder thing and he just

246
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 1: didn't have anything on the ball anymore. When he threw

247
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:14,840
Speaker 1: it and still won a super Bowl, which was a

248
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:18,840
Speaker 1: great achievement for him. But to see Brady at this

249
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:22,800
Speaker 1: age still performing at this high level, and listen, he

250
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 1: doesn't have the gun he had seven to eight years ago,

251
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:31,080
Speaker 1: which really makes what he's doing even more impressive. It's

252
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:33,800
Speaker 1: it's something else. I mean, you tip your cap to

253
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 1: somebody who can do this in this way. Yeah, and

254
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:39,600
Speaker 1: I've heard he's just a nice guy, which is also

255
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 1: annoying because I want him to not be a nice guy.

256
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 1: But like, genuinely, I've heard that he is actually like

257
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:49,400
Speaker 1: a decent human. Yeah. Yeah, but that's the whole. These

258
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 1: are the things I care about. My teeth, I care

259
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:53,800
Speaker 1: about if you're kind and if you laugh at my jokes.

260
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 1: That's really all I ang. It was very kind to

261
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 1: his son today as he was making him run. Well,

262
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:00,440
Speaker 1: I mean, kids got to run a little bit. It's

263
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:02,360
Speaker 1: good for them. Okay. So the thing we need to

264
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 1: wrap up with here is something very important. So as

265
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:11,760
Speaker 1: of today August eighteen, are Friends at Duncan. Our friends

266
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:16,040
Speaker 1: at Duncan are selling the Tennessee Titans donut now through September.

267
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 1: First Titans fans can fuel up with Duncan's Titans donut,

268

272
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:42,760
Speaker 1: All right, get on your get up out of your chair,

273
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 1: get in your car, and go get a donut. Well,

274
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:47,920
Speaker 1: let me explain what happened. So we said, They said, well,

275
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 1: you've promote this, and of course if we're giving food, yes,

276
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:53,800
Speaker 1: we'll do anything for food, We'll do it. So they

277
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:59,360
Speaker 1: brought us yesterday a thing of Titans donuts. The Duncan

278
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 1: people were kind enough to provide us with those a

279
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:04,600
Speaker 1: day early, and we had them on the team plane

280
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:07,680
Speaker 1: and they were a massive hit. Mike Keith, have you

281
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:11,880
Speaker 1: ever been on a team plane full of hungry humans

282
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 1: holding a box of donuts? There you go, because you're

283
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:18,440
Speaker 1: automatically the coolest person on the plane. That's it is

284
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 1: a very nice feeling. I felt very important. But the

285
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:24,720
Speaker 1: donuts are absolutely delicious. Thank you to Duncan for sending

286
00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:27,720
Speaker 1: them to us. Go get one through September first, So

287
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:31,600
Speaker 1: just a couple of weeks, get your duncan Titans donut

288
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:36,000
Speaker 1: for the next two weeks. Mmm, I'm going to yes,

289
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 1: don't do that. You can plan on Farm Bureau Health

290
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:43,200
Speaker 1: plans for better coverage, better rates, and better customer service.

291
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:46,160
Speaker 1: They've been providing Tennesseeans with the home field advantage for

292
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:49,840
Speaker 1: almost seventy five years. So, as Amy mentioned, we're going

293
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:54,880
Speaker 1: to watch more offense tomorrow, enjoyed defense today. That heat

294
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 1: is expected to be back same practice time in that

295
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 1: late morning window. But again, I think as long as

296
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:06,679
Speaker 1: guys are staying hydrated and healthy and not you know,

297
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 1: cramping or having to take a lot of extra fluids

298
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:14,040
Speaker 1: in different ways, I think it's good for the Titans

299
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:16,919
Speaker 1: to be out in this kind of heat. Preparing the

300
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:20,399
Speaker 1: game time temperature on Saturday night, and again it is

301
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:24,040
Speaker 1: a six thirty Central Time kick off, five thirty airtime

302
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:27,119
Speaker 1: for Titans Countdown on Titans Radio. It's supposed to be

303
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:30,080
Speaker 1: around ninety at that point. The heat is not going

304
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:35,399
Speaker 1: to break down here for quite some time. Man, this heat, Mike,

305
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 1: I went on a walk and about died, just a walk,

306
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 1: casual stroll. Almost died. No, he did. I was pretty

307
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:46,880
Speaker 1: smoking hot. It was wild, so bring it on Day two.

308
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:49,480
Speaker 1: Day two, Day two coming up, and thank you for
