1
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:18,360
Speaker 1: This is the OTP Live at twenty eight twenty eighteen.

2
00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:22,919
Speaker 1: I'm here with Amy Wells. That is a very serious

3
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 1: sounding opening. Well Goods today, Amy Wells, we have pads on.

4
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:31,120
Speaker 1: It's serious. People don't want any jokes. I like it,

5
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:35,240
Speaker 1: no jokes, although we have one of the funniest people alive.

6
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:38,880
Speaker 1: That's true on the show. Rhett Brian from Titans Radio,

7
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:41,559
Speaker 1: Welcome to the show. It is an honor and a

8
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:43,519
Speaker 1: pleasure to be here with both of you. This is

9
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:45,800
Speaker 1: very good. Is there a chance you will behave on

10
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:49,360
Speaker 1: today's show. Absolutely well, you are not interested in that.

11
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 1: You are very close Rhett Brian, well known for multiple

12
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 1: impersonations and a lot of things, most of which the

13
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 1: best of which you don't hear on the air. Thank goodness,

14
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:06,040
Speaker 1: but good stuff. You and coach Dave McGinnis have a

15
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:11,040
Speaker 1: very special relationship based on humor. Would you not agree? Absolutely?

16
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:14,319
Speaker 1: And I'm glad to that coach Coach mac can be

17
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:18,400
Speaker 1: very serious and turn that coach mode on. And uh yeah,

18
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 1: he and I have bonded rather quickly doing twenty two

19
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 1: games last year on Titan's Radio and just thrilled these back.

20
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:29,120
Speaker 1: And it's good to be with him here and to

21
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 1: you know, kind of watch through his eyes a practice

22
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:35,760
Speaker 1: as you guys have been around him in practices and

23
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 1: just just try to soak up all of the knowledge

24
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:41,400
Speaker 1: he has. We're glad you're sitting in for the great

25
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 1: Jim Wire today, a great Jim Saturday, first padded practice.

26
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 1: Give me a couple of things that jumped out to you,

27
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 1: Amy Wells, Malcolm Butler, just as a person jumped out

28
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 1: at me at practice. The intensity and practice stuck out

29
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 1: to me. But the first padded practice is usually one

30
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,559
Speaker 1: that people get up for, you know, they get really

31
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 1: excited about. That stood out to Meum coach of Rabels

32
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:11,080
Speaker 1: seemed to be all over the place today and that

33
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 1: stuck out to me. And Corey Davis is a really

34
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:18,240
Speaker 1: good football player. Those are the things that jumped out

35
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 1: at me today, Right, Brian, what jumped out to you?

36
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 1: It started before practice. I got here pretty early today

37
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 1: and the first man out there on the field, defensive

38
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:31,920
Speaker 1: coordinator Dean Peace, that told me it was the first

39
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 1: padded practice. He was you can just see the wheels

40
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 1: turning with him. And shortly thereafter Marcus Mariota, Luke Falk

41
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 1: and the rest of the crew comes out, but I

42
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 1: knew the tone was going to be different based on

43
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 1: seeing him out first when the d coordinators out, He's

44
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 1: ready to see somebody hit somebody exactly. And then to

45
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 1: double off of what Amy said Dori Jackson as a

46
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 1: special football player saw him because several pass breakups today,

47
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:02,799
Speaker 1: one on Davis, just on one on ones, much more

48
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 1: physical today for obvious reasons. I feel like the defense

49
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 1: took another step today. I feel like the offense, they

50
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:14,080
Speaker 1: maybe not took a step back, but you can see.

51
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 1: You know, as this is the case usually in training

52
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:19,799
Speaker 1: camp early on, the defense is usually ahead of things

53
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:21,680
Speaker 1: as as this thing progresses. But I felt like the

54
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 1: defense won this one today. I thought they did too.

55
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 1: I thought overall they had a better day after the

56
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 1: offense yesterday had taken some strides. A couple of things

57
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 1: stuck out to me. Rashaund Evans leaving practice early. Yeah,

58
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 1: you know, we we don't know as we record this

59
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 1: exactly what the situation is, and you're hopeful it's not

60
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 1: anything too serious. But when a guy leaves practice early,

61
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 1: you're always like ooh, especially a guy who was running

62
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 1: with the first unit as much as he was. YEA.

63
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 1: Harold Landry running with the ones due to the absence

64
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 1: of Brian Rakpo. Rackpo's injury came yesterday when he ran

65
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 1: into Luke Stocker and they kind of rammed into one another,

66
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 1: and again not specifying the injury, coach Mike Rabel saying

67
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 1: that he did not believe at this point that the

68
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:19,719
Speaker 1: injury was serious, but Racpo off and so a great

69
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 1: opportunity for Harold Landry. Jim White telling me, while Landry

70
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 1: did show up in some team periods that he was

71
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:31,479
Speaker 1: sort of engulfed by Taylor to one and the one

72
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 1: on ones, which is not totally surprising. Taylor to one

73
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 1: was just paid a lot of money. He's really good

74
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:39,599
Speaker 1: at what he does, and that's what Landry's gonna have

75
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 1: to learn. Landry's gonna have to learn how you beat

76
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 1: a guy like that. The good news is he's not

77
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 1: going to see anybody better than Taylor to one. No, no,

78
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 1: I don't believe. So. The other thing that jumped out

79
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 1: to me, some of the younger receivers made some things happen.

80
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 1: Cameron Batson, the five eight, one hundred and seventy five

81
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 1: pound rookie from Texas Tech, made some things happen. In

82
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:07,039
Speaker 1: this practice, as did Devin Ross, who did a nice

83
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 1: job caught a couple of balls, and Deonte Burnett, who

84
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 1: had a good day yesterday, followed it up with a

85
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:17,599
Speaker 1: second straight good day. Jordan Vesey continues to be reliable.

86
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 1: So you like seeing those younger receivers make things happen well,

87
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 1: and with Richard Matthews continuing to be out, they're getting

88
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 1: valuable rep times to try to bring themselves along in

89
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 1: all this. But I'm interested to see all of those

90
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 1: undrafted rookie free agent wide receivers. Well, how do they

91
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 1: make this club? You know, that's the question. It was

92
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 1: laid out, and we talked about Darius Jennings a good

93
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:42,600
Speaker 1: bit yesterday, the coach saying he's been added to special

94
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 1: teams to give himself a shot to make this ball club.

95
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 1: How many do they keep? How do they stack up?

96
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 1: How long is Richard Matthews out? I thought Ty J.

97
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:57,360
Speaker 1: Sharp showing up today was another positive of the day.

98
00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:01,480
Speaker 1: To steal your joke. You said he looked sharp. It

99
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 1: was very good, and I felt moment people needed to

100
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 1: know how good that joke was. But he did. He

101
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 1: looked really, really good. With my you've come with my

102
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 1: bad line told that you've violated the code. Was the

103
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 1: code I credited it to you. I said it was

104
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 1: your line code of the sideline at two to day

105
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 1: practices or summer camp practices or training camp, whatever you

106
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,599
Speaker 1: want to call it is. You never repeat what gets

107
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 1: said on the sideline. Outside of the sideline that is

108
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 1: a sacred space, is not a real code. It is

109
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 1: totally a code. What happens in practice, stay for practice.

110
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:38,480
Speaker 1: I'm not buying that. Not when you have a dad

111
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:42,839
Speaker 1: joke like that, I can fire off. Dad jokes don't

112
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:47,360
Speaker 1: apply to the code, though it is, am I right.

113
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 1: When I see him, he's put on some bulk. I

114
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 1: put on some weight he doesn't like, because this guy

115
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:55,920
Speaker 1: is notoriously thin in his first couple of years. He

116
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:58,599
Speaker 1: looks bigger to me. I think he does when he

117
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 1: got here. I mean he Supposiie weighed one hundred and

118
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:04,720
Speaker 1: ninety pounds. Wow. I don't know that anybody believed that,

119
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:08,359
Speaker 1: but he does now. I mean he's probably closer to

120
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 1: two hundred pounds. I think that's definitely a thing. I

121
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 1: think he's gotten bigger and stronger. He looks stronger, he

122
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 1: looks like he's able to break away from people a

123
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 1: little bit easier. The outside linebacker thing is one I

124
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 1: want to bring up right off the bat, because with

125
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 1: a rackpo out, some guys getting chances to do things

126
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:34,240
Speaker 1: at the outside linebacker position. Sharif Finch we mentioned yesterday

127
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 1: undrafted out of Temple, Jamil President, first year man out

128
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 1: of Illinois, who comes by way of the Houston Texans.

129
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 1: I thought he flashed Finches number fifty six. President is

130
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 1: number fifty seven. We've we mentioned Landry getting to do

131
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 1: a lot. The other guy who's in there all the

132
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 1: time right now getting regular reps is number fifty two.

133
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 1: And Wallace and Amy. I think if Aaron Wallace could

134
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 1: stay healthy, I think he helps this football team. And

135
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 1: that's been the only issue with him. In the first

136
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 1: part of his career. When he has played, he's made

137
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 1: things happen. He made more things happen than Kevin Dodd

138
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 1: did in spite of the fact that he was a

139
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 1: seventh round pick. Absolutely, and so I think that it's

140
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 1: almost his job to lose, not necessarily by play, but

141
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 1: just by staying healthy and being able to remain in

142
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 1: that rotation. But every time we've seen him on the field,

143
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,760
Speaker 1: he's been a consistent contributor, and he's played well on

144
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 1: special teams. He's played the run. I mean he's a

145
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 1: quality put Dad played the NFL. I mean he got

146
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:41,600
Speaker 1: an Oakland Raider. Yeah, he obviously understands what to do.

147
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:44,720
Speaker 1: You feel like had he not had the back injury

148
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 1: and had the back surgery to put him on IR,

149
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 1: he would have been counted on in twenty seventeen for sure. Oh,

150
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 1: I know they like him and he's showing up fifty two.

151
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:56,960
Speaker 1: I've been noticing a lot in the last day or two.

152
00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 1: So the outside linebacker position won to why obviously the

153
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 1: wide receiver position one to watch tailor to one back

154
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 1: in the middle of things today but not practicing was

155
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:13,320
Speaker 1: Delaney Walker, and many wondered, what's going on with Delaney?

156
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 1: What did he have? Delaney spoke after practice today to

157
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:19,720
Speaker 1: talk about his contract extension, and I think the best

158
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 1: way to describe it was day off. Yeah, I mean,

159
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:25,440
Speaker 1: I affectionately call it an old man day. But yeah,

160
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 1: I mean she's the kind of what it is. I mean,

161
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 1: I think dad jokes. Old man day was a dad joke,

162
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 1: and Delaney Walker is not young. He is not young, see,

163
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:41,720
Speaker 1: but he's getting paid. He is getting paid, so he

164
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 1: needed a day to just rewrinch some finances. I think, yeah,

165
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 1: that was what we were saying. Is the joke was

166
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:49,679
Speaker 1: before practice when we didn't spot him. I'm like, well,

167
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:52,840
Speaker 1: he's at the bank making something. Yeah, you know, busy.

168
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 1: But you know, he said it in his press conference

169
00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 1: about his extension. Taking care of his body has been

170
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:01,680
Speaker 1: the key to all of this. And think about it.

171
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 1: You look at the numbers he's put up as a Titan,

172
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:09,320
Speaker 1: I mean, consistent sixty plus catches, eight hundred yards, receiving

173
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:12,079
Speaker 1: touchdowns here and there, and he looks just as good

174
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 1: as he does right now as the first day he

175
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 1: walked in this building years ago. I still say the

176
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:20,080
Speaker 1: statistic that jumps out most to me about what he

177
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 1: has done since he got here in twenty thirteen is

178
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 1: that he has averaged five catches per game, just under

179
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 1: five catches per game. I mean, the consistency of that

180
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:37,720
Speaker 1: has been unreal. And you're talking about in a category

181
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 1: that's Antonio Brown type consistency. Well, and for the different

182
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 1: offenses we've seen right right, the different quarterbacks he's played with,

183
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 1: I mean, how many different quarterbacks has he played with?

184
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 1: How many different systems has he been in how many

185
00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 1: Amy's hadding him up, But it doesn't matter what it

186
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 1: has been. It doesn't matter what the Oh we're gonna

187
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:03,559
Speaker 1: throw to the receivers or we're gonna, you know, do this,

188
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:06,319
Speaker 1: or we're gonna do that. He's still got five catches

189
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 1: at the end of virtually every day. And someone asked him,

190
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:11,959
Speaker 1: that's why you pay it right, And somebody asked him

191
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 1: of what was the key to all that? He said,

192
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:17,680
Speaker 1: just just being focused on what whatever that is each

193
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 1: year as things have changed, just focusing on everything first

194
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 1: in the building, last to leave, mentality, taking care of

195
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 1: his body, and studying up well. To me, what jumped

196
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 1: out is when he made the comment this summer, and

197
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna I'm not gonna say it one hundred

198
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 1: percent correct, so I'm basically just paraphrasing, paraphrasing, generalizing what

199
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:37,960
Speaker 1: you want to call it. He said, I'm the best

200
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 1: overall tight end in the NFL because he actually blocks.

201
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 1: He's there every game. He blocks, he catches, he runs,

202
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 1: he scores touchdowns. Who argued with him, I wouldn't, but

203
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:54,319
Speaker 1: I'm saying canationally, You've usually got some national pundit who's

204
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:58,959
Speaker 1: going to say, yeah, typical athlete of the twenty first

205
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 1: century making some pronouncement. I didn't hear anybody. No, I

206
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 1: mean I don't think it's wrong, you know, because tight

207
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 1: ends aren't taught to block anymore coming out of college. Well,

208
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:13,120
Speaker 1: and sometimes, I mean Gronkowski will block, yes, and Gronkowski

209
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:15,840
Speaker 1: is a fantastic All these other guys are just big

210
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:20,040
Speaker 1: wide receiver, right, or they're an extra offensive line. Right.

211
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 1: We're in an eighties number. You know that, that's what

212
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 1: you're either one or the other. You know you're not.

213
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 1: I mean, there are so few tight ends who are

214
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:34,320
Speaker 1: actually both in today's game. But I think that's the

215
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:40,439
Speaker 1: level of respect. Yes, he was sort of talking, you know, bragging,

216
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 1: whatever you want to call it. But in the end,

217
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:45,320
Speaker 1: I think he's right. Yeah, the numbers don't lie. The

218
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 1: numbers don't lie, and how much he plays doesn't. I mean,

219
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:52,199
Speaker 1: he doesn't miss six games. He doesn't, and he's had

220
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:55,959
Speaker 1: all kinds of things wrong with him from the shots

221
00:12:56,000 --> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 1: that he's taken at different points to you know, and granted,

222
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 1: I mean he's almost thirty four, and so things do

223
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 1: start to break down a little bit. But listen, if

224
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:08,560
Speaker 1: you know you're going to get fourteen fifteen games out

225
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:11,280
Speaker 1: of him. You take that right now. I don't need

226
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 1: perfect attendance, it'd be great, but I mean to know

227
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:17,080
Speaker 1: you're going to get fourteen fifteen games out of this guy. Yeah,

228
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 1: because what an asset he is when he's on the field.

229
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:21,720
Speaker 1: I mean, as you were saying, the versatility is amazing.

230
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:23,439
Speaker 1: You know that he's going to be there. You know

231
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 1: he's going to show up. So yeah, if he misses

232
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:28,440
Speaker 1: a couple of games, you adjust and you know what

233
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:31,400
Speaker 1: to do with that. But all the product productivity that

234
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:33,760
Speaker 1: you've gotten out of that, that's worth the you know

235
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:36,280
Speaker 1: what you're getting exactly. It's just like he said, you

236
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:39,640
Speaker 1: know at his availability of a while ago. You know,

237
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:42,840
Speaker 1: I tell Marcus all the time I got you, I'll

238
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:45,920
Speaker 1: go get it, and I guarantee you Marcus believes in that.

239
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:47,880
Speaker 1: But you know who's the big winner in all of this,

240
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:51,280
Speaker 1: Certainly Titans fans and the Titans and wins on the field,

241
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:56,479
Speaker 1: but then the kids in the community through his foundation,

242
00:13:56,640 --> 00:14:00,960
Speaker 1: which he does incredible philanthropic work through Delady Walker Gives

243
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 1: Back Foundation, they're the winners in this because that's going

244
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:06,560
Speaker 1: to continue for the next two or three years, and

245
00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:08,960
Speaker 1: he's done a lot of amazing things in Nashville and

246
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 1: surrounding area. A story about the car accident of oh Wow,

247
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 1: right before the start of Camp Delandy Walker's car was

248
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 1: basically run over by a truck in downtown Nashville, right

249
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:23,360
Speaker 1: before the start of camp. He is so lucky, you know,

250
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:25,480
Speaker 1: to be here right now, and it kind of talks

251
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 1: about it like it well, you know, yeah, and then

252
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 1: my car got run over by an eighteen wheeler and

253
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:32,160
Speaker 1: then I showed up to camp. He's not scared of much. No,

254
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 1: he's not scared. And let's say this what the kind

255
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 1: of car. It was very low profile and we you're

256
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:42,320
Speaker 1: talking about low profile in terms of how it sits

257
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 1: on the road. Yes, the kind it ain't low profile?

258
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 1: Was it in the Lamborghine? It was a Lamborghine. He

259
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:50,880
Speaker 1: confirmed that that would but that car sits so low

260
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:55,040
Speaker 1: to the ground that he said, I was under the

261
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:58,040
Speaker 1: tractor trailer and he very easily could in that kind

262
00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 1: of car. Other car is that you know, we've seen

263
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:03,840
Speaker 1: horrific accidents and think but that thing would go slide

264
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:07,880
Speaker 1: right under. And yes, apparently someone had to yell at

265
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 1: the truck driver to stop so that it wasn't you know,

266
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:13,880
Speaker 1: further damage further up under the tractor traitor. But that

267
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 1: one would fit right under there, just like a glove.

268
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:17,560
Speaker 1: It's like driving around in a room bout like those

269
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:23,840
Speaker 1: things are so love vacuuming the streets. It's a Lamborghini.

270
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:26,720
Speaker 1: What you know? This is mister car guy. Well you

271
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:30,280
Speaker 1: know he said his backup car is his pro bowl car. Yeah,

272
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:38,120
Speaker 1: the genis driving that Lamborghini Caustuh. That one's it depends

273
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:40,600
Speaker 1: on what you know. I mean, I get that. It's

274
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:42,960
Speaker 1: if it's a two cigarette lighter in it, it's more

275
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:45,440
Speaker 1: I get that starter and fifty thousand, I would think.

276
00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:49,760
Speaker 1: I mean, and I might be conservative. He's a car

277
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:52,640
Speaker 1: guy too. He's just serious. He might have had serious

278
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:55,920
Speaker 1: conversations about cars. His favorite car in the whole world

279
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:58,520
Speaker 1: that would be in his dream collection is my favorite

280
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 1: car in the whole world, and that is a sixty

281
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 1: three Lincoln Continental convertible power top, suicide doors, just like

282
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:09,560
Speaker 1: the one that JFK was assassinated in. That is our

283
00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:13,680
Speaker 1: favorite quiet that's your favorite car, big body car, just

284
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:17,640
Speaker 1: I don't know. I love the design. It's just this

285
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:20,400
Speaker 1: big what we call a land yacht because it's a

286
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:23,440
Speaker 1: monster car and it had a power recess top in

287
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 1: it black like that. It had the rear doors. Why

288
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:30,480
Speaker 1: do you think suicide doors because they opened the opposite way. Okay,

289
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:34,080
Speaker 1: they opened instead of opening and coming out towards the

290
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 1: front of the car, they go to the rear of

291
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:38,440
Speaker 1: the car, the rear of the four doors, the two

292
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:41,680
Speaker 1: doors in the back. And it's just I don't know

293
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:43,320
Speaker 1: what it is. But he and I've talked about that

294
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 1: car ever since he's been here, and maybe he'll go

295
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:48,160
Speaker 1: get one now he's he's even sought out a couple

296
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:51,360
Speaker 1: of folks that have, like you know, a barn, find

297
00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:54,320
Speaker 1: an original car to go restore. He tried to buy

298
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:55,840
Speaker 1: one couple of years ago and a guy wouldn't sell

299
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 1: it to him. Well he does, I don't know. Bread

300
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 1: Hopkins was a guy who was a serious car guy

301
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:04,520
Speaker 1: when he was here. And when I say that, I

302
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:07,840
Speaker 1: mean people who collect who they drive something for a

303
00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:09,640
Speaker 1: while and then they say, oh I want to try

304
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:13,200
Speaker 1: something else, or I mean I admire people who who

305
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:16,359
Speaker 1: do that. I think that's really I think that's really interesting.

306
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:18,560
Speaker 1: It's like if you got the dough and I mean,

307
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:21,400
Speaker 1: it doesn't mean he's spending nine million dollars on cars.

308
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:23,760
Speaker 1: That's not what you're doing. You're just taking You're spending

309
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:25,520
Speaker 1: a good chunk of money, but then you're putting it

310
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:28,119
Speaker 1: into something else and then trying something else. And his

311
00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 1: love of cars comes from his childhood. He said, he

312
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:34,960
Speaker 1: and an uncle and maybe another family member didn't have

313
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:37,240
Speaker 1: a lot of money, so they would constantly go to

314
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:39,399
Speaker 1: the junkyard to pull apart off of a car to

315
00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:41,680
Speaker 1: replace something that was broken on whatever they were driving.

316
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:44,160
Speaker 1: So he has experienced looking at and working at things

317
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 1: under the hood and older cars, and he said it

318
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:49,880
Speaker 1: started there, and he said, I've loved cars ever since. Wow. Yeah,

319
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:52,440
Speaker 1: I was gonna say I thought he worked on them too.

320
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 1: He is a very yeah, influential in that. All right,

321
00:17:56,600 --> 00:18:00,399
Speaker 1: So let's talk about guys who jumped out. Give me

322
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:05,160
Speaker 1: a player and I'll start with one. Tye Smith, cornerback

323
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 1: number twenty three, really jumped out with his performance today.

324
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:13,360
Speaker 1: Caused to fumble, showed up to mess up a run play,

325
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:17,040
Speaker 1: batted a ball away, just really making things happen. Give

326
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:19,160
Speaker 1: me somebody like that that you saw in the first

327
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 1: padded practice. Amy, Well, mine was Jordan VC, number eighty

328
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:25,840
Speaker 1: seven wide receiver from cal I was every time I

329
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:28,200
Speaker 1: looked up, I felt like he was making some sort

330
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:30,920
Speaker 1: of catch or getting some sort of separation. And I'm

331
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:33,640
Speaker 1: I've been very impressed by him, Jordan VC. I'm going

332
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:36,520
Speaker 1: secondary on this and I got it confirmed by Mike

333
00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:40,520
Speaker 1: Vrabel talking about him and his pressor today. Kaylin Reid.

334
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:43,239
Speaker 1: Kaylin Reid is really and this is a guy that's

335
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:47,320
Speaker 1: hung around the roster and is really making plays in

336
00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:51,040
Speaker 1: this and the other one another dB. Rico Gafford. I

337
00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:55,480
Speaker 1: saw him early in early drills individual stuff. He caught

338
00:18:55,480 --> 00:19:00,760
Speaker 1: a ball one handed, and of course Terry Combs gives

339
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:03,200
Speaker 1: him the business about it, says, so you can't catch

340
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:06,640
Speaker 1: a ball all camp people show up and you start

341
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:08,479
Speaker 1: catching balls. Is that what it takes to get this

342
00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:10,840
Speaker 1: thing done? Well, that's good because we play in front

343
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 1: of people, Yes, and very leaping at the apex tight

344
00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:17,959
Speaker 1: deal one hand or pulls it in nice, So all right,

345
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 1: Rico Gafford, he a four to two speed. Probably going

346
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 1: to see him as a returner as well. The other

347
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:28,080
Speaker 1: stick out just continues to be Tay one Taylor, WHOA

348
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:31,119
Speaker 1: my good He is having a really hat he is

349
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 1: off to a good start his first three days. I

350
00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:37,880
Speaker 1: would put his first three days up against anybody's and

351
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 1: correct me if I'm wrong, But I know he didn't

352
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:43,840
Speaker 1: have a great off season in terms of a great

353
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:46,960
Speaker 1: start to the right season, but then he really came

354
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:50,960
Speaker 1: on toward the end. Yeah, a mini camp was better. Yeah,

355
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:54,560
Speaker 1: mini camp was really good. But early early or mid

356
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:56,600
Speaker 1: April when they got back, he was struggling with some

357
00:19:56,640 --> 00:20:00,520
Speaker 1: of the offense and he really Matt Lafleur, we talked

358
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:03,520
Speaker 1: about it on yesterday's OTP. Matt Lafleur really had to,

359
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 1: you know, stay on him about spacing and what they're doing,

360
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:11,200
Speaker 1: and Dave McGinnis explaining to me some of the differences

361
00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:14,800
Speaker 1: in spacing in this offense and how important it is

362
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:17,400
Speaker 1: and what a big deal it was for the Rams

363
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:20,280
Speaker 1: a year ago in terms of how they mess with

364
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:24,000
Speaker 1: defenses because they do some unusual things and so the

365
00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:28,920
Speaker 1: precision of where you line up is extremely important. Does

366
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:31,920
Speaker 1: it seem like the receivers have as much that they

367
00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:34,760
Speaker 1: have to do thought wise once the play starts, they

368
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:39,080
Speaker 1: just go, But getting lined up seems to be a

369
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:41,920
Speaker 1: vital importance. And that's and I don't understand every part

370
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:44,680
Speaker 1: of it. Well, I don't pretend to either. But that's

371
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:48,160
Speaker 1: why i've been watching practice with coach McGinnis, is he says,

372
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:52,280
Speaker 1: those concentrated condensed splits and where guys are lining up.

373
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:54,520
Speaker 1: It's between that and the timing that he said. He

374
00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:57,720
Speaker 1: just he can't preach enough about the lineup of the

375
00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:01,919
Speaker 1: splits and then the precision, precision timing between quarterback and receiver,

376
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:04,040
Speaker 1: which you know that makes sense with any offense, but

377
00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:07,440
Speaker 1: with this one in particular. Angles and numbers. Yeah, that's

378
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:09,880
Speaker 1: all it is, angles and numbers. All right, Let's talk

379
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:11,960
Speaker 1: about a couple other things. First of all, so we

380
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:14,240
Speaker 1: had a topic that we just sort of planned to

381
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:17,679
Speaker 1: throw out today because I found when cleaning out my

382
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:22,480
Speaker 1: office this summer, I found my Music City Bowl game

383
00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:26,640
Speaker 1: ball and I loved having the college football the thing

384
00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:29,399
Speaker 1: that I wish the pro game would do that the

385
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:31,320
Speaker 1: college game has. I have two things. First of all,

386
00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:33,400
Speaker 1: I wish they would go to the half stripe football.

387
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:37,040
Speaker 1: It's a cooler looking football than a football with no stripe.

388
00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:39,520
Speaker 1: What looks bad is the Canadian ball with a full

389
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:42,320
Speaker 1: stripe does not look good, not cool. I love the

390
00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:45,520
Speaker 1: half stripe football. Love to watch how it flows through

391
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:47,840
Speaker 1: the year. The other thing I like about the college

392
00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:50,600
Speaker 1: game over the pro game is I like the fifteen

393
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:54,200
Speaker 1: yard penalty for past interference instead of the spot foul.

394
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:56,280
Speaker 1: I agree with that. I think it is I think

395
00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:59,000
Speaker 1: the I think it's too much. I think the spot

396
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:00,840
Speaker 1: foul it's too much. I'd like to see the pro

397
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:05,119
Speaker 1: game change that. So that's my part. Two things actually

398
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:06,919
Speaker 1: from the college game that I'd like to see in

399
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:10,320
Speaker 1: the pro game. Amy Wills, Well, one of my things

400
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:13,480
Speaker 1: is dependent on which side of the ball I'm on.

401
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:16,280
Speaker 1: If I'm winning, I don't want this. If we're losing,

402
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:20,720
Speaker 1: I do want this. I enjoy in college games not

403
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:24,200
Speaker 1: having the two minute warning and instead stop. I enjoy

404
00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:27,040
Speaker 1: it in college games when it works to my advantage.

405
00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:30,040
Speaker 1: When it doesn't work to my advantage, I dislike it.

406
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:33,520
Speaker 1: But if I need that clock to kind of work

407
00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:35,600
Speaker 1: from my side a little bit, I would like that.

408
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:38,640
Speaker 1: So that is something that is situational, but I would

409
00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:40,800
Speaker 1: enjoy it. The other thing that I wish the pro

410
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:48,080
Speaker 1: game had to the same extent that college has is big, strong,

411
00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:53,119
Speaker 1: deep felt in your gut rivalries. There are good NFL

412
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:59,320
Speaker 1: rivalries there are great NFL rivalries. Nothing matches a solid

413
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:03,520
Speaker 1: college rivalry. I grant you that. I gret it's different.

414
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:07,359
Speaker 1: I still think our rivalry with Jacksonville, I think it's awesome,

415
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:12,200
Speaker 1: is one of the more underrated rivalries around, and it

416
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:17,120
Speaker 1: hasn't mattered much until twenty seventeen in terms of what

417
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:20,399
Speaker 1: the people nationally would have known. But I mean the

418
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:24,359
Speaker 1: games are always on. I mean it's it's on. They

419
00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:27,480
Speaker 1: don't like each other, and it's it's fun that way.

420
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:29,080
Speaker 1: And there was a window of time where it was

421
00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:31,679
Speaker 1: that way with the Ravens too, Baltimore and Titans. Yes,

422
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:35,359
Speaker 1: Ravens and Titans games were just slug fists. But I

423
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:38,560
Speaker 1: think the qualification is whether or not it matters in

424
00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:41,600
Speaker 1: professional football. It's when it's two teams that are very,

425
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:44,720
Speaker 1: really well match. That's why I will watch Pittsburgh play

426
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:48,840
Speaker 1: Baltimore anytime they put. If they played right after the

427
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:52,240
Speaker 1: Royal wedding at three o'clock in the boarding, I would

428
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:55,520
Speaker 1: watch that game. I want both of their games every year.

429
00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:59,320
Speaker 1: I'm watching no matter what, because there's gonna be something

430
00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:01,880
Speaker 1: that's gonna happen happen, and that there's pushing and shoving

431
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:06,399
Speaker 1: somebody doesn't like somebody else. I mean, it's the guys

432
00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:10,080
Speaker 1: play it like it's a playoff game. Yeah, what if?

433
00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 1: And I'm just throwing crazy stuff out here, all right,

434
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:16,840
Speaker 1: that's not something. That's why Rhet Brian is on what

435
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:21,120
Speaker 1: if the college catch rule was the catch rule one foot?

436
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:28,679
Speaker 1: I mean, you have some unbelievable scoring numbers, guys. You

437
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:32,000
Speaker 1: know why I disagree with that. I disagree with that

438
00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:35,480
Speaker 1: because I think if you're a professional football player, you

439
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 1: should be able to get both feet down. Oh definitely.

440
00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:40,560
Speaker 1: I think if they're paying you money to do this,

441
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:43,960
Speaker 1: and it's just it's the same way. I won't get

442
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:48,000
Speaker 1: on a college kid for not making certain catches. But

443
00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:51,560
Speaker 1: if they pay you four hundred and eighty thousand dollars minimum,

444
00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:54,800
Speaker 1: I expect you to catch it. I think that that,

445
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:57,639
Speaker 1: to me, is the difference. I like that thought. There

446
00:24:57,640 --> 00:25:00,399
Speaker 1: there is a catch out here in practice today. It

447
00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:03,399
Speaker 1: was Burnett, I believe it was, who made an absolutely

448
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:06,760
Speaker 1: fabulous catch that wouldn't have counted because he only got

449
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:10,159
Speaker 1: one foot down right, and it was fantastic and it

450
00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:12,960
Speaker 1: would adds. I get that that's a good thought. Think

451
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:15,360
Speaker 1: about the high scoring games you'd have. Oh, I mean,

452
00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:19,640
Speaker 1: there's some catches that are always so close. Man, it'd

453
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:22,320
Speaker 1: be like Arena League and I just the whole catch

454
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:25,120
Speaker 1: rule things go up and got me thinking about that, Well,

455
00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:26,880
Speaker 1: we have a catch rule. Now, did you know that

456
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:29,879
Speaker 1: that's right? Are you excited about it? Yeah? What Ret's

457
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:32,800
Speaker 1: really excited about is when the officials show up here

458
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:36,159
Speaker 1: for training camp and they put on the film where

459
00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:40,679
Speaker 1: they lay out the rules changes. It's the film they

460
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:44,399
Speaker 1: show the players yes for rules changes and for points

461
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:49,760
Speaker 1: of emphasis, and it's it's always fascinating for us when

462
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:52,679
Speaker 1: we get to ask those officials questions. Let me tell

463
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:56,600
Speaker 1: you something I found about the twenty eighteen officials that

464
00:25:56,720 --> 00:26:01,080
Speaker 1: really interests me. So they're a hundred twenty one officials,

465
00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:05,720
Speaker 1: and that's down from last year. They only have two

466
00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:11,240
Speaker 1: officials who will be rotators. They had last year six

467
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:15,040
Speaker 1: or seven officials who would be rotators. So they're seventeen

468
00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:21,639
Speaker 1: seven person crews. There are four new referees, so roughly

469
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:24,760
Speaker 1: a quarter of the referees in this league are new.

470
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:31,280
Speaker 1: What's most interesting about the seventeen different crews, only one

471
00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:38,440
Speaker 1: of those crews returns five or more people to that

472
00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:41,360
Speaker 1: crew from a year ago. So they have taken they

473
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:44,200
Speaker 1: have turned over, they have done the you know, the

474
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:49,480
Speaker 1: turnover the musical chairs, if you will. Free agency happened.

475
00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:52,560
Speaker 1: It's almost like that's happened. It's like Walt Coleman has

476
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:56,879
Speaker 1: drafted a new umpire. I did not know that. That's interesting. Yeah,

477
00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:59,680
Speaker 1: it's it's really fascinating. I don't know if that's more

478
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:03,040
Speaker 1: than usual and I'm just noticing it, but it sure

479
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:05,840
Speaker 1: does feel like more than usual. And I think we're

480
00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:09,240
Speaker 1: going to see some things in the preseason with these

481
00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:11,800
Speaker 1: crews trying to sort of pull it together, you know,

482
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:15,040
Speaker 1: working together, because one of the things the league does

483
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:18,320
Speaker 1: is they have these great crews and some of them

484
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:20,919
Speaker 1: really are great cruise. I say that not meaning to

485
00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:22,840
Speaker 1: make a joke at all. And then they get to

486
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:25,560
Speaker 1: the playoffs and they go to all star cruise guys

487
00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:28,720
Speaker 1: who've never worked together before in their life, and we

488
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:33,119
Speaker 1: end up getting some kind of controversial calls constantly, yeah, consistently.

489
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:36,199
Speaker 1: And you would think there's an amount of chemistry that

490
00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:39,800
Speaker 1: goes into cloud game. I mean, there's ton of familiarity

491
00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:41,879
Speaker 1: that you need to have with the people around you well,

492
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:44,920
Speaker 1: and you need that in every office situation. You need

493
00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:48,119
Speaker 1: that in everywhere, and especially one that moves that fast.

494
00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:50,800
Speaker 1: I need to know Bob is going to be here.

495
00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:54,159
Speaker 1: It's just like if we changed personnel on Titans radio, right,

496
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:56,320
Speaker 1: if we had you know, it's you, You and coach

497

Speaker 1: Matt come back and there's a whole different other crew
