1 00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:16,680 Speaker 1: And the OTP is underway. Welcome to the August fifteenth 2 00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:21,079 Speaker 1: edition of this program. Amy Wells is always here. Hello Mike, 3 00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:23,400 Speaker 1: it's great to see you, Amy, you two. Did you 4 00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:27,440 Speaker 1: enjoy the joint practice with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers today? 5 00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:29,840 Speaker 1: I sure did. There's just so much to look at. 6 00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:32,520 Speaker 1: There's so much excitement, Oh my gosh, way too much. 7 00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:35,680 Speaker 1: I had to truly move myself to a part of 8 00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:37,720 Speaker 1: the field where I could only see one thing at 9 00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:40,600 Speaker 1: a time because I couldn't focus on anything. I wanted 10 00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:42,840 Speaker 1: to watch everything. For the most part, I just watched 11 00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:46,560 Speaker 1: Titans offense today. I did too. Jim Wyatt, the great 12 00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:51,360 Speaker 1: one Titans online dot Com, has already shared his observations 13 00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:54,520 Speaker 1: from practice. I know that is true. What did you 14 00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:58,800 Speaker 1: watch today? I watched mostly offense, although I did try 15 00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:02,160 Speaker 1: to at one point get to a middle portion of 16 00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:06,039 Speaker 1: the the grounds out here to see both, but then 17 00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:08,319 Speaker 1: I kind of got where I needed to commit to 18 00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:10,160 Speaker 1: one or the other. It's just hard to go back 19 00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:12,040 Speaker 1: and forth, and if you really want to get a field, 20 00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:13,600 Speaker 1: you've got to pick one of the other. So I 21 00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:15,800 Speaker 1: spent most of the time on the Titans offense. I 22 00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:19,600 Speaker 1: told myself, I was going to watch offense today and 23 00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:23,600 Speaker 1: defense tomorrow. We'll see how that goes. It's always I'm 24 00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:26,240 Speaker 1: curious to see how Marcus Mariota the offense goes because 25 00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:28,280 Speaker 1: I think that's where the most questions are on this 26 00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:31,640 Speaker 1: football team right now. So we'll see how it goes tomorrow. 27 00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,040 Speaker 1: But it is fun. And we've done these so many times. 28 00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:36,240 Speaker 1: I mean, let's thinking back that we've done it against 29 00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:42,000 Speaker 1: the Colts, the Dolphins, the Paanthers, Falcons, the Falcons, the Rams, 30 00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:45,440 Speaker 1: the Rams multiple times against the US and it's it's 31 00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:48,680 Speaker 1: a cool deal. And only done it once on the 32 00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:53,480 Speaker 1: road at McComb back in the day, Illinois the home 33 00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:58,400 Speaker 1: of Western Illinois, I believe, if I'm not mistaken. So good, 34 00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:00,200 Speaker 1: good to have this here. And went to Atlanta. Guess 35 00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:02,680 Speaker 1: we were taking the road, you know, to Atlanta, Atlanta 36 00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:05,960 Speaker 1: a couple of years, Atlanta twice. Yeah, So they're fun. 37 00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:08,520 Speaker 1: I mean, there's so much to do and uh so 38 00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:10,239 Speaker 1: much to watch, but I thought it was a good 39 00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:13,000 Speaker 1: productive day. I'm looking forward tomorrow, all right. So let's 40 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:17,120 Speaker 1: go around the group and see what the standout moments were, 41 00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:20,400 Speaker 1: the things that you took away, Amy Wells. You get 42 00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:23,880 Speaker 1: to go first. What was your What was the big 43 00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:26,880 Speaker 1: thing that jumped out to you? Corey Davis. Corey Davis 44 00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:31,800 Speaker 1: had a great day today. Um, he made some big catches. 45 00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:37,960 Speaker 1: He looked good. Uh. David Flewellen is another guy who'sating. 46 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:41,040 Speaker 1: Oh I don't want everyone all right, Well, then give 47 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:43,639 Speaker 1: you guys get too. Jim gets a turn. I thought 48 00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:45,080 Speaker 1: I agree with that, Amy. I thought it was a 49 00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:48,120 Speaker 1: great day for Corey Davis. Uh, you know, catching balls 50 00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:52,919 Speaker 1: across the middle, downfield, contested catches. Uh. You know, it's 51 00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:55,400 Speaker 1: a different looking offense where he's on the field. You know, 52 00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:58,440 Speaker 1: other times things didn't go as smoothly, But I thought 53 00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:02,720 Speaker 1: he changed the conversation station and change the momentum throughout 54 00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:05,720 Speaker 1: a good day during practice, a good day after practice 55 00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:07,840 Speaker 1: that we could after after we wrap up here him 56 00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:10,400 Speaker 1: and go write a story about Corey Davis had a 57 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:14,600 Speaker 1: fan bring him the football from the catch that he 58 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:17,200 Speaker 1: made in New England his first career touchdown. It ended 59 00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,800 Speaker 1: up in the hands of a Titans fan. Quentin Spain 60 00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:21,680 Speaker 1: likes to give those things away, and the fans showed 61 00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:25,200 Speaker 1: up at practice today and brought him the ball from 62 00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:28,200 Speaker 1: that game. He was shocked and was caring around like 63 00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:31,720 Speaker 1: a like a newborn. That's awesome, very cool. And Quentin 64 00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:34,880 Speaker 1: Spain had fans here today. There were people holding Quentin 65 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:39,520 Speaker 1: Spain signs number sixty seven. Yeah, that's pretty funny. Some 66 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:41,240 Speaker 1: of those players give him a hard time because they 67 00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:42,920 Speaker 1: think he's quick to give a ball away. I know 68 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:47,560 Speaker 1: it was done in good to raise money for I 69 00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:50,200 Speaker 1: believe als As who had raised money for the last 70 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:53,200 Speaker 1: couple of years. But Quentin, you know, can hardly wait 71 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:55,360 Speaker 1: to give those things away, and most of the time 72 00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:57,000 Speaker 1: you don't get them back. All right, So we hear 73 00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,360 Speaker 1: Corey Davis from both of you, was there another one 74 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,600 Speaker 1: you wanted to throw in? Since Amy also dumped in 75 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:08,000 Speaker 1: David flew Ellen's performance today look good. I thought he 76 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:12,480 Speaker 1: looked good. Um. I think Taywan Taylor early made some 77 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,600 Speaker 1: made a couple of great catches in one on one drills. 78 00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:19,120 Speaker 1: I didn't notice him as much once we turned into 79 00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:22,680 Speaker 1: team drills. I think if I had to name number two, 80 00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:25,520 Speaker 1: and so I guess I'm cheating because I mentioned Taiwan. 81 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:29,000 Speaker 1: I think Derrick Henry Uh is who I would name 82 00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:35,440 Speaker 1: as number two because he was Uh. He imposed imposed 83 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:40,120 Speaker 1: his will on Tampa Bay UH pass rushers and a 84 00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:42,520 Speaker 1: and a kind of pass protection drill that I know 85 00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:45,640 Speaker 1: we were watching UH early in practice, and then I 86 00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:49,440 Speaker 1: thought he ran the ball really well. Also, here's my 87 00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:52,320 Speaker 1: first thought. Tampa Bay has good linebackers. They have a 88 00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:55,280 Speaker 1: pro bowler in Lavonte David, and they have a pro 89 00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:59,800 Speaker 1: bowler in Kwan Alexander. They're very good at the linebacker 90 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,760 Speaker 1: position and really stuck out. They have a few other 91 00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:06,799 Speaker 1: good players. But we'll go around the room and continue 92 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:09,159 Speaker 1: with the discussion. So that's my first point, is about 93 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:11,839 Speaker 1: how good their linebackers are and how much they showed 94 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:13,640 Speaker 1: up today. Amy, I guess we're back to you. You're 95 00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:15,560 Speaker 1: want to throw anything else in there. You don't know. 96 00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:18,240 Speaker 1: I don't want to do six turns when I only 97 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,120 Speaker 1: get one turn. I know how to play the game. 98 00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:24,839 Speaker 1: A thing that stuck out to me was actually something 99 00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:27,600 Speaker 1: that wasn't there was that there were no fights today. 100 00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:30,800 Speaker 1: There was almost a fight. It was almost a fight. 101 00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:34,239 Speaker 1: And really, if we can get into it for a second, 102 00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,840 Speaker 1: Mike Vrabel was getting a little fired up too, and 103 00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:39,719 Speaker 1: I like that. I like that in a head coach, 104 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,960 Speaker 1: But there were no fights. Apparently he was not happy 105 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:48,120 Speaker 1: with Jason Pierre Paul bumping Marcus Mariota. Is that right? Yeah, 106 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,840 Speaker 1: he got to him, which you know is what you're 107 00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:54,359 Speaker 1: supposed to do as a defensive player. Hit Marcus that 108 00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:58,040 Speaker 1: in a way that caused him to fall down. Was 109 00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:00,520 Speaker 1: he going harder than they had? Kind of a read upon? 110 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:05,920 Speaker 1: Who's to say. But Mike Rabel did not like that 111 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:08,039 Speaker 1: and kind of got in his face and told him 112 00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:10,479 Speaker 1: that he didn't like that, and then they went back 113 00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:13,320 Speaker 1: to it, and then Taylor lauan kind of circle back 114 00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:17,320 Speaker 1: because Taylor doesn't like it when anyone messes with Marcus. 115 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:21,800 Speaker 1: I missed that exchange. Oh it was great, So I 116 00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:24,520 Speaker 1: hate that I didn't see that. Well, now, Vrabel does have, 117 00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:28,200 Speaker 1: in fairness to him, he does have a track record 118 00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:30,880 Speaker 1: already since he's been the head coach here of stay 119 00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:35,039 Speaker 1: away from the quarterback. He told one of the undrafteds 120 00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:40,120 Speaker 1: just recently, that's a good way to get yourself cut. Yeah, 121 00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:44,000 Speaker 1: don't bump the quarterback. So that's a that's a big deal. 122 00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:46,560 Speaker 1: And I didn't see it. I saw Lawan get upset. 123 00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:50,480 Speaker 1: I saw some Titan staff have to go get Lawan, 124 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:54,200 Speaker 1: but it was almost I don't know, It's hard for 125 00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:57,920 Speaker 1: me because I get the whole that you don't want 126 00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:00,719 Speaker 1: fights and who was it The cow Boys had that 127 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:03,039 Speaker 1: fight a couple of years ago where they had to 128 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:06,560 Speaker 1: be on completely separate fields set the raiders. I think 129 00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:09,200 Speaker 1: that's right man to pull them apart, and somebody swung 130 00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:12,200 Speaker 1: a helmet at somebody something. It was bad, and I 131 00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:15,360 Speaker 1: get that, But do you almost feel like they tell 132 00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:17,840 Speaker 1: these guys to turn down the volume so much that 133 00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:20,840 Speaker 1: maybe they're not as intense as what they want to be. 134 00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:23,480 Speaker 1: And I'm not just talking about here, I'm talking about anywhere. 135 00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:26,000 Speaker 1: I mean there's a fine line. I mean you can 136 00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:27,920 Speaker 1: push it and push it and push it. But then 137 00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:32,080 Speaker 1: the problem is is what you even have an inkling 138 00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:35,040 Speaker 1: of a fight, no one's gonna want to back down 139 00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:37,160 Speaker 1: in front of their teammates, even though your head coach 140 00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:40,400 Speaker 1: is reminding you again and again you're not supposed to fight, 141 00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:43,560 Speaker 1: so it you know, we'll see what happens. A day 142 00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:46,080 Speaker 1: two of these things is usually when you've got these 143 00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:48,679 Speaker 1: teams nipping at each other and you've had coaches chewing 144 00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:52,040 Speaker 1: them out for getting beat and they're doing a lot 145 00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:53,720 Speaker 1: of times in front of the rest of the team, 146 00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:56,320 Speaker 1: so that the day two when these two teams meet 147 00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:58,800 Speaker 1: is when you would expect to have a little bit 148 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:02,280 Speaker 1: more fireworks, right, So I was just gonna say, I 149 00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:05,280 Speaker 1: understand that you don't want people to get hurt, but man, 150 00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:08,800 Speaker 1: that's the best part. No, it's not the best part. 151 00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:12,600 Speaker 1: The best party is the football. Well, speak for yourself, okay, 152 00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:15,880 Speaker 1: I am. I'm speaking for myself. I who really like 153 00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:20,080 Speaker 1: a good camp fight. I know that is so terrifying 154 00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:24,960 Speaker 1: about you. Well, it's not. It's passion, it's excitement. It's 155 00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:29,360 Speaker 1: a passionate game. Wow, Jim Wyatt. On to the next 156 00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:32,160 Speaker 1: point for you. I'm going Jayon Brown. You know it 157 00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:35,800 Speaker 1: was you know, no practice today for Wesley Woodard. Uh 158 00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:39,040 Speaker 1: Rashaun Evans continues to miss. We've seen a lot of 159 00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:42,240 Speaker 1: Wilcompton obviously, and then you had Jayon Broun step in 160 00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:45,079 Speaker 1: for a Woodard today with the first group, and uh, 161 00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:47,319 Speaker 1: he just always around the ball. He didn't have an interception, 162 00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:49,160 Speaker 1: but when a guy catches it, he's right there to 163 00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:51,520 Speaker 1: tackle him. And I think he runs well with uh 164 00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:56,080 Speaker 1: with the guy he's he's assigned to slow down on 165 00:08:56,080 --> 00:09:00,000 Speaker 1: a play. So he continues to um get my attention 166 00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:03,640 Speaker 1: just for how fast he is. My next one is 167 00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:06,280 Speaker 1: about the defensive line and some one on one drills. 168 00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:09,880 Speaker 1: The Titans young defensive lineman Matt Dickerson from UCLA. I 169 00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:13,200 Speaker 1: thought showed up pretty well and obviously when they got 170 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:16,080 Speaker 1: in team play this will be a huge shock. Jarrell 171 00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:20,040 Speaker 1: Casey showed up time and time again. He's a very 172 00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:23,280 Speaker 1: hard player to block, as we all know, and he 173 00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:27,160 Speaker 1: just continues. I guess we don't talk about him probably 174 00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:30,240 Speaker 1: as much as we should because the level of expectation. 175 00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:33,160 Speaker 1: It's like, uh, look, there's Jurell Casey making another play, right, 176 00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:36,920 Speaker 1: Nobody is shocked when Darrell Casey shows up and does something. 177 00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:39,160 Speaker 1: I mean, we know he's good. He is a good 178 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:42,880 Speaker 1: football player. And he's still good, Yes he is, and 179 00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:45,000 Speaker 1: he's I think he's stronger. He's putting a little bit 180 00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:47,520 Speaker 1: more white from last year to make him so sturdier. 181 00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:53,040 Speaker 1: And think he looks good. All right, Amy back to you, Mike. 182 00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:55,160 Speaker 1: You and I talked about this a little at practice today, 183 00:09:55,160 --> 00:10:00,160 Speaker 1: but Josh Klein has he looked good today. He went 184 00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:03,440 Speaker 1: up against some pretty nasty defensive linemen and held his 185 00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:07,120 Speaker 1: own time Pro bowler Gerald McCoy, and I thought he 186 00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:10,080 Speaker 1: did a pretty nice McCoy is a beach. He is 187 00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:14,320 Speaker 1: a grown man. He's large, and Josh Klein held himself 188 00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:16,760 Speaker 1: well and he's had a really good camp and so 189 00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:19,320 Speaker 1: he stood out to me, continues to play well at 190 00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:23,920 Speaker 1: right guard. Yep. I'm going Deonte Burnett as my next observation. 191 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,720 Speaker 1: Made some catches today, lined up when he went three wide. 192 00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:28,720 Speaker 1: At one point he was out there with the group. 193 00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:31,559 Speaker 1: He's getting a chance to be on the field more 194 00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:35,240 Speaker 1: and more. They fielded punts and you know, the more 195 00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:37,880 Speaker 1: you can do, obviously, the better chance you give yourself 196 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:41,920 Speaker 1: to be on this team. Dorry Jackson was back there, 197 00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:44,520 Speaker 1: Nick Williams was back there, and Deonte Burnett's back there. 198 00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:49,559 Speaker 1: And he's from the group of undrafted. As drafted receivers 199 00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:52,000 Speaker 1: we talked so much about, from Jordan Vca to Devin 200 00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,880 Speaker 1: Ross to Deonte Burnett, I think Burnette has kind of 201 00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:57,320 Speaker 1: climbed to the top of that threesome in my mind. Okay, 202 00:10:57,320 --> 00:10:59,440 Speaker 1: so let's go through this real quick. So you've got 203 00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:03,200 Speaker 1: Cameron bats and you've got Dianti Burnette, You've got Devin Ross, 204 00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:06,920 Speaker 1: you have Jordans vs. John Robinson refers to them as 205 00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:10,320 Speaker 1: the rat pack. The guys who are trying to make 206 00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:14,840 Speaker 1: it off of the undrafted list. I would say that 207 00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:18,160 Speaker 1: while they've all had moments, Batson is as a returner, 208 00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:21,720 Speaker 1: Ross has been coming on as of late. Vez looked 209 00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:26,679 Speaker 1: good early on. I think if you take the whole 210 00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:30,840 Speaker 1: training camp, you might give the edge to Burnette right 211 00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:34,720 Speaker 1: now for just overall consistency. He's open all the time. Yeah, 212 00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:38,400 Speaker 1: I do, and coming into camp he was probably third 213 00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:42,320 Speaker 1: behind uh, you know, behind VC and Ross. In my mind, 214 00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:44,480 Speaker 1: I didn't notice him a lot during the offseason in 215 00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:48,440 Speaker 1: May and June. But it's been different for him once uh, 216 00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:51,720 Speaker 1: you know, once camp started, and uh he's made a surge. 217 00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:54,160 Speaker 1: The problem is Nick Williams and made a surge as well, 218 00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:56,360 Speaker 1: another guy who was kind of in the back of 219 00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:58,760 Speaker 1: the pike who now has climbed up into the In 220 00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:01,600 Speaker 1: the middle of conversation, would you agree, I might give 221 00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:05,520 Speaker 1: Devin Ross the advantage just a smidge. I feel like 222 00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:10,720 Speaker 1: I've seen him make more big plays, but I would 223 00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:16,120 Speaker 1: say the consistency goes to Burnett, So just pure excitement value, 224 00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:19,360 Speaker 1: I give it to Ross. So what was your answer? 225 00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:22,439 Speaker 1: My answer was that I think that Devin Rogers a 226 00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:25,559 Speaker 1: little bit ahead of Burnett. All right, just check it, 227 00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:29,520 Speaker 1: all right. Answer. So here's here's my next one. That 228 00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:33,920 Speaker 1: Mike Evans he could play little football. Titans couldn't do 229 00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:36,439 Speaker 1: much with the six five, two hundred thirty pound wide 230 00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:40,040 Speaker 1: receiver today and one of the big challenges they're getting 231 00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:42,640 Speaker 1: in this work. People don't realize Tampa Bay had the 232 00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:45,880 Speaker 1: number four pass game in the entire NFL last year. 233 00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:49,400 Speaker 1: They've got de Shaun Jackson, they have Adam Humphreys, they 234 00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:51,600 Speaker 1: have Oj Howard at tight end, and then they've got 235 00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:56,880 Speaker 1: Mike Evans and he is a beast, Yes he is. 236 00:12:57,120 --> 00:13:01,160 Speaker 1: And a lot of questions you know out there, including 237 00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:03,880 Speaker 1: something to Corey Davis, one to Mike Vrabel just about 238 00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:07,200 Speaker 1: the comparison between Evans and Corey Davis. And it's way 239 00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:10,960 Speaker 1: too premature to even make a comparison between those two. 240 00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:14,160 Speaker 1: That's what you like to see Corey Davis get too. 241 00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:16,600 Speaker 1: But Evans has been doing it for so long and 242 00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:20,000 Speaker 1: he's doing at a high level. And you're right about 243 00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:22,840 Speaker 1: I thought the way I did see of the defense 244 00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:27,040 Speaker 1: today that had trouble slowing him down. This is Mike 245 00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:30,840 Speaker 1: Evans rundown since he came in the league rookie sixty 246 00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:35,360 Speaker 1: eight catches one fifty one yards, twelve touchdowns. Second year 247 00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:38,760 Speaker 1: twenty fifteen, seventy four catches twelve hundred and six yards, 248 00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:43,559 Speaker 1: three touchdowns, twenty sixteen ninety six catches thirteen hundred twenty 249 00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:47,760 Speaker 1: one yards, twelve touchdowns. Last year seventy one catches, one 250 00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:51,600 Speaker 1: thousand one yards, five touchdowns. So in four years in 251 00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:55,959 Speaker 1: the league, he's had a thousand yards every year, he's 252 00:13:56,080 --> 00:14:01,720 Speaker 1: averaging seventy seven catches and eight touchdowns sounds per year. Wow, 253 00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:03,800 Speaker 1: that's pretty good for a guy who played one year 254 00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:07,800 Speaker 1: of high school football and two years at Texas at M. Yeah, 255 00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:10,760 Speaker 1: that's that's pretty impressive. That's quite a career right there. 256 00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:15,520 Speaker 1: DeShawn Jackson has certainly had one two and this guy 257 00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:18,080 Speaker 1: just keeps going. He's in what year want to him? 258 00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:21,320 Speaker 1: Pull up the sheet here, he's in year eleven out 259 00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:25,880 Speaker 1: of cow Wow, and could still really really go. I mean, 260 00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:28,080 Speaker 1: they've got some weapons if they can figure out what 261 00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:30,920 Speaker 1: they're going to do at the running back position, Tampa 262 00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:33,560 Speaker 1: Bay really has some weapons. They got to run the 263 00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:35,560 Speaker 1: ball better than they did last year. They only averaged 264 00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:38,120 Speaker 1: like ninety one yards a game rushing something like that, 265 00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:41,200 Speaker 1: and they just didn't have the type of balance they 266 00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:43,080 Speaker 1: want it. But their head coach, Dirk Cutter is a 267 00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:47,800 Speaker 1: good offensive coordinator. Yeah, we curiously how how they do 268 00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:50,960 Speaker 1: this season, but I think they certainly a good test 269 00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:54,480 Speaker 1: for this team. Kind of a good measuring stick, you know, 270 00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:56,640 Speaker 1: going a couple of days in a row, and then 271 00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:58,560 Speaker 1: we'll see a little bit of them on Saturday. All right, 272 00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:01,440 Speaker 1: anybody have anything else they want to throw row? Jamis 273 00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:06,960 Speaker 1: Winston was wearing Mike Evans socks today. Mike Evans, his receiver, 274 00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:10,840 Speaker 1: was on his socks at practice. I saw it on Twitter, 275 00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:13,880 Speaker 1: So it has to be true. It has to be true. 276 00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:15,840 Speaker 1: It's love. Well, I mean, if you've got a receiver 277 00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:17,840 Speaker 1: like that, I mean he ought to wear Mike Evans 278 00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:20,360 Speaker 1: gloves of Mike Evans had he should drive a Mike 279 00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:22,800 Speaker 1: Evans car. Wait, you've got to be pretty good to 280 00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:26,400 Speaker 1: get yourself on some socks. That's what I'm pushing for. Yeah, 281 00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:31,400 Speaker 1: working hard, put up some numbers like that. I thought 282 00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:35,200 Speaker 1: Ron Fitzpatrick's beard looks like it's in mid season form. 283 00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:37,000 Speaker 1: I don't know if you saw him, it was, it 284 00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:40,160 Speaker 1: was it's in its full glory. Well, here's what I know. 285 00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:45,760 Speaker 1: It better be in starter form. Yeah, because, as we know, 286 00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:49,000 Speaker 1: Jamis Winston is suspended for the first three games of 287 00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:55,600 Speaker 1: the year. Here are those three games at New Orleans, Philadelphia, 288 00:15:55,960 --> 00:16:00,760 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh on Monday night football. That's a tough resa right there. 289 00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:04,000 Speaker 1: Apparently I was told I was talking to Casey Phillips, 290 00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:08,120 Speaker 1: who is in my role for the Buccaneers. She was 291 00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:11,160 Speaker 1: saying that their first three games is one of the 292 00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:14,400 Speaker 1: hardest three just in the way that it's graded out. 293 00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:16,840 Speaker 1: And I don't know how they determine that strength of schedule, 294 00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:20,280 Speaker 1: but it's the hardest first three games in like fifty 295 00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:23,920 Speaker 1: years or something. Man, it's three playoff teams, it's a 296 00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:29,400 Speaker 1: Super Bowl winner, it's a perennial AFC power, it's a 297 00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:32,240 Speaker 1: team in the NFC in New Orleans, a division rival 298 00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:36,360 Speaker 1: of the Bucks who's historically been very good. And the 299 00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:39,800 Speaker 1: Bucks are coming off a five and eleven season. So 300 00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:46,120 Speaker 1: I would think the whole Jamis Winston suspension, I wouldn't 301 00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:49,080 Speaker 1: see how it could come at a worst time. That's 302 00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:52,000 Speaker 1: one you just hope you can survive. And I mean, 303 00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:54,320 Speaker 1: I'm sure that's not what they're saying down there, that 304 00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:59,160 Speaker 1: you can win one of those three well there, then 305 00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:01,360 Speaker 1: they're at Chica Go and then they have a bye. 306 00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:04,760 Speaker 1: So if they could win one of those, then they 307 00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:07,280 Speaker 1: could be two and two going into their bye, and 308 00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:11,200 Speaker 1: you know then they would have chose Yeah, good luck, 309 00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:17,280 Speaker 1: Fitzy enjoy Yikes. I thought one more actuld from today, 310 00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:19,879 Speaker 1: Dion Lewis. I thought he held up pretty well. And 311 00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:22,960 Speaker 1: we were talking about the past protection drills. He's, you know, 312 00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:27,040 Speaker 1: he's undersized obviously, but I thought he held his own, 313 00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:30,239 Speaker 1: uh you know, competing there and I thought he uh, 314 00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:33,120 Speaker 1: you know, there was a sequence of plays later in practice, 315 00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:36,159 Speaker 1: and there were times when the Titans offense struggle to 316 00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:39,560 Speaker 1: get some things going. Today certainly made some plays as well, 317 00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:41,760 Speaker 1: but uh, I thought he gave him a spark a 318 00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:43,439 Speaker 1: couple of times. You just get the ball in his 319 00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:45,840 Speaker 1: hands and he can squirt out and make something out 320 00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:48,280 Speaker 1: of nothing. So he's gonna be fun to watch. I 321 00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:50,679 Speaker 1: watch part of practices with Ben voland who's here from 322 00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:54,840 Speaker 1: the Boston Globe. Who who was in Detroit yesterday? Uh, 323 00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:57,560 Speaker 1: you know kind of work at the Patricia's Story Angle 324 00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:01,359 Speaker 1: and Ben was here today talking Dion Lewis and Logan 325 00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:04,840 Speaker 1: Ryan and Malcolm Butler and getting some time with John 326 00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:08,040 Speaker 1: Robinson and Mike Vrabel and you know, he talked about 327 00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:11,000 Speaker 1: how much it like the GM of the Tampa Bay 328 00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:13,879 Speaker 1: is also a uh I got ready to call him 329 00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:16,760 Speaker 1: the Boston Patriots. He is a New England Patriots. Gape. 330 00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:19,000 Speaker 1: There's a lot of reunions here. I mean, I Luke 331 00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:21,320 Speaker 1: soccer meeting with some of his Tampa Bay you know, 332 00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:23,760 Speaker 1: teammates before practice. It's always need to see that. But 333 00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:26,720 Speaker 1: voland just talk about how Lewis is gonna be so 334 00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:31,000 Speaker 1: much fun for us to watch just because he does uh, 335 00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:34,000 Speaker 1: you know, make highlight real plays and is a tough 336 00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:38,119 Speaker 1: guy to cover. Would you guys not agree that Dion 337 00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:41,679 Speaker 1: Lewis has gotten even sharper, maybe even in the just 338 00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:44,960 Speaker 1: the last week that it looks like he's figured out 339 00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:47,679 Speaker 1: where the quarterback wants him to be, what what his 340 00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:51,240 Speaker 1: steps are. It seems like he's gone from I don't 341 00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:54,320 Speaker 1: want to see being tentative but figuring out how to 342 00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:57,760 Speaker 1: fit in absorbing the offense to now being Dion Lewis 343 00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:03,520 Speaker 1: again looks like he has found his groove. That chemistry 344 00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:05,479 Speaker 1: with Marcus is kind of in the place that it 345 00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:08,359 Speaker 1: needs to be, and he's kind of like you were saying, 346 00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:11,040 Speaker 1: he's kind of finding his steps and what it's gonna 347 00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:14,120 Speaker 1: take for him to get here there. He's just man, 348 00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:17,880 Speaker 1: He's fun to watch. It's what's funny is um it's 349 00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:21,200 Speaker 1: not funny. But I've done a couple of fantasy football 350 00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:25,280 Speaker 1: shows in the last week, and that's the big question 351 00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:28,080 Speaker 1: everybody has is what the division of Kerry's gonna look 352 00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:31,520 Speaker 1: like between Derrick Henry and Dion Lewis. And we've watched 353 00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:34,520 Speaker 1: you know, every practice out here, and we can I mean, 354 00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:37,040 Speaker 1: there's no way to really know at this point. I mean, 355 00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:38,919 Speaker 1: I think he's going to be a big factor. He's 356 00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:41,960 Speaker 1: gonna be more than just a third down specialty back. 357 00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:44,639 Speaker 1: And I think it's going to be a game to 358 00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:47,359 Speaker 1: game situation with him and Derrick Henry, which is what 359 00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:51,560 Speaker 1: drives fantasy football owners crazy because you don't still know 360 00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:53,639 Speaker 1: who to have in the line up each week. But 361 00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:56,199 Speaker 1: he's gonna make an impact, There's no doubt about it 362 00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:59,200 Speaker 1: catching the ball, and I think he's gonna be successful 363 00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:01,800 Speaker 1: running the football as well. And I do agree that 364 00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:05,760 Speaker 1: he you know, he seems to be as comfortable now 365 00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:08,480 Speaker 1: as he's as as he's been since he's been here. 366 00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:11,880 Speaker 1: Back to the Bucks, it feels like they're going to 367 00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:16,040 Speaker 1: start Fitzpatrick on on Saturday night due to the fact 368 00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:18,240 Speaker 1: that he's going to be the starter coming in. Is 369 00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:21,320 Speaker 1: that the word you guys were getting as well. I've 370 00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:23,760 Speaker 1: not heard that yet. It wouldn't surprise me. If they've 371 00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:25,160 Speaker 1: got to get him ready to play a week one, 372 00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:27,320 Speaker 1: then you know he needs to be getting the reps 373 00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:30,920 Speaker 1: ahead of Jamis Winston. You know, certainly Jamis's got to 374 00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:34,280 Speaker 1: get himself ready to play as as well. But from 375 00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:39,040 Speaker 1: a timing standpoint and from a chemistry standpoint, he's going 376 00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:42,119 Speaker 1: to need to play. So be cool to see him 377 00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:44,479 Speaker 1: back out there in another uniform. With the schedule they 378 00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:46,920 Speaker 1: have coming up, I think he needs as much help 379 00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:49,359 Speaker 1: as he can get trying to well get chemistry with 380 00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:52,000 Speaker 1: those guys. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt. Okay, 381 00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:55,159 Speaker 1: Ryan Griffin their third string quarterback. They've also got to 382 00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:59,280 Speaker 1: get him ready as well. Yeah, because went with Winston gone, 383 00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:01,919 Speaker 1: then Griffin, a fifth year man out of two lane 384 00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:05,919 Speaker 1: moves up and so a lot for the Bucks to 385 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:08,480 Speaker 1: look at on Saturday night, and plenty more to look 386 00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:13,240 Speaker 1: at tomorrow. Day two. You mentioned it. Day two is 387 00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:16,240 Speaker 1: when it usually heats up. Teams back out here tomorrow 388 00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:20,480 Speaker 1: at nine to fifty nine to fifty to noon. Hopefully 389 00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:22,800 Speaker 1: we'll be able to stay away from the rain. And 390 00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:24,679 Speaker 1: if we can stay away from the rain, then the 391 00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:28,760 Speaker 1: two teams can practice outside. If we have to go inside, 392 00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:33,760 Speaker 1: obviously they're the spectators, would not there's not room for them, unfortunately. Yeah, 393 00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:35,800 Speaker 1: I was just pulling it up at my weather apps 394 00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:39,280 Speaker 1: as being slow to react. I did see rain in 395 00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:43,320 Speaker 1: the forecast for tomorrow, but maybe it'll hold off. Maybe 396 00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:45,960 Speaker 1: it'll hold off. It looks like it's uh. I see 397 00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:48,720 Speaker 1: PM thunderstorm, so park loud in the morning followed by 398 00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:50,720 Speaker 1: scattered storm of the afternoons. Hopefully we can get it 399 00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:53,560 Speaker 1: in high ninety two. And I thought the crowd was 400 00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:58,280 Speaker 1: enthusiastic today. And you know, this is better than the 401 00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:01,760 Speaker 1: game in my mind, because you're gonna see these guys 402 00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:06,800 Speaker 1: compete for longer stretches of time. I think we'll see 403 00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:10,240 Speaker 1: more of the starters on Saturday, certainly more than what 404 00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:13,680 Speaker 1: we saw in Green Bay. But you're gonna get a 405 00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:16,240 Speaker 1: lot out of these practices that let you know today 406 00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:19,360 Speaker 1: and tomorrow. All right, let's go through who didn't practice 407 00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:23,760 Speaker 1: for the Titans. Wide receiver Michael Campanero, who's also a 408 00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:27,280 Speaker 1: punt returner, he did not practice, correct, that's correct. No 409 00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:33,479 Speaker 1: Rashaun Evans again, No Rashaun Evans. Richard Matthews and also 410 00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:39,399 Speaker 1: Jack Conklin both remained unphysically unable to perform. Calin Reid 411 00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:43,679 Speaker 1: not at practice today. Safety Dane Crookshank still with the 412 00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:47,080 Speaker 1: injury from the Green Bay game. He is out. Wesley 413 00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:50,200 Speaker 1: Woodyard just looked like he was getting a day off. Thanks. 414 00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:52,720 Speaker 1: So I saw him out there in uniform, just not practicing, 415 00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:56,440 Speaker 1: and I was trying to see Brian Rackpo not practicing. 416 00:22:56,840 --> 00:23:00,639 Speaker 1: David King, a defensive lineman, also not prect that's the group, 417 00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:04,760 Speaker 1: so we'll see him. We talked about Nick Williams, we 418 00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:07,440 Speaker 1: talked about We've talked about Dere's Jennings, you know, we 419 00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:10,679 Speaker 1: talked about Deanti Burnett, all these guys who seem to 420 00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:15,399 Speaker 1: be gaining momentum. Michael Panero is one of these guys 421 00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:17,800 Speaker 1: that looked great, I thought during the early portion of 422 00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:20,720 Speaker 1: the off season, then was slowed in the second half 423 00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:23,200 Speaker 1: of OTA's and kind of has been in and out 424 00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:27,600 Speaker 1: of camp and he's not making any easier on himself 425 00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:31,960 Speaker 1: by not being available and uh, and guys like Williams 426 00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:35,879 Speaker 1: have taken advantage of it, and uh, we'll see how 427 00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:38,919 Speaker 1: how that plays out here in the next week or so. 428 00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:43,280 Speaker 1: Gonna watch defense tomorrow, absolutely, yeah, Titans defense against the 429 00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:46,359 Speaker 1: Bucks offense. I'm gonna watch the same tomorrow, nine to 430 00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:50,560 Speaker 1: fifty again. If there's no rain. Public is welcome at 431 00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:52,480 Speaker 1: Saint Thomas Sports Park. We would love to have you 432 00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:56,160 Speaker 1: out here tomorrow, which is Thursday, August the sixteenth. Want 433 00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:59,800 Speaker 1: to recap one more thing day off yesterday, first ever 434 00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:05,280 Speaker 1: Mike Vrabel radio show, and want to thank the hundreds 435 00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:08,919 Speaker 1: of Titans season ticket members who came out to the 436 00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:12,520 Speaker 1: show last night at Nissan Stadie.

Oh gosh, it was so cool. 440 00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:24,120 Speaker 1: It was so exciting to see all the fans out there. 441 00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:27,920 Speaker 1: They were so excited. Coach Vrabel did a great job. 442 00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:30,560 Speaker 1: He's just such an entertaining guy to listen to. There 443 00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:33,840 Speaker 1: were jokes and stories and it was an awesome way 444 00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:36,280 Speaker 1: to kick off that radio show. Did I hear they 445 00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:39,000 Speaker 1: sang happy birthday to it was his birthday. They sang 446 00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:42,359 Speaker 1: Happy Birthday, and he also told the story of what 447 00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:47,359 Speaker 1: happened with center Ben Jones yesterday courtesy of Titan's Radio. 448 00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:52,000 Speaker 1: Here is the story of Mike Vrabel, Ben Jones and 449 00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:56,399 Speaker 1: the Cottage Cheese. Had a nice little conversation with Ben Jones. 450 00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:57,639 Speaker 1: He came in here to say hi to me, and 451 00:24:57,680 --> 00:24:59,199 Speaker 1: I was like, oh, it's nice. He's stopping it on 452 00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:02,200 Speaker 1: his off day. And he's like, did you drop something, coach. 453 00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:04,080 Speaker 1: I look down on the ground and I look up 454 00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:07,640 Speaker 1: and he smashes a plate of cottage cheese in my face. Wow, 455 00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:13,280 Speaker 1: And he's like, happy birthday. And I'm like, Ben, are 456 00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:15,560 Speaker 1: you kidding me right now?

So I'm doing bedcheck 459 00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:23,359 Speaker 1: tonight and I'm gonna come up with something to get 460 00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:25,240 Speaker 1: him at at eleven o'clock to night in the hotel. 461 00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:29,200 Speaker 1: So he's getting a payback. So that's a pretty good story. 462 00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:33,119 Speaker 1: He also told another He told multiple stories, but told 463 00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:36,679 Speaker 1: another really good story about being surprised in a team 464 00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:40,600 Speaker 1: meeting just recently as he went to start the meeting, 465 00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:44,920 Speaker 1: he was interrupted by one of his linebackers, who took 466 00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:48,840 Speaker 1: over as Mike Rabel. I'll let the head coach pick 467 00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:52,680 Speaker 1: up the story here. So I'm getting ready to start 468 00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:55,480 Speaker 1: the team meeting, and I'm like what, Bates, like, why 469 00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:57,040 Speaker 1: do you have your phone out? And then as soon 470 00:25:57,080 --> 00:26:00,000 Speaker 1: as I say that, Compton comes walking into the team 471 00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:03,520 Speaker 1: meeting dressed like this with the iPad and he just 472 00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:06,880 Speaker 1: starts walking down the stairs and I'm like, clearly he's 473 00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:09,480 Speaker 1: getting ready to like impersonate me. So I sit down 474 00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:12,440 Speaker 1: and he goes on like a fifteen minute tirade all 475 00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:14,600 Speaker 1: the things I say in the meetings, puts the film up, 476 00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:17,159 Speaker 1: just like I do comments on all the stuff. And 477 00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:19,000 Speaker 1: I mean a guys were rolling. I mean somebody was like, 478 00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:20,840 Speaker 1: I've been in NFL ten years. That's the best skit 479 00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:22,919 Speaker 1: I've seen in the NFL done by a player. So 480 00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:25,320 Speaker 1: he did a great job. He nailed. It's that hard 481 00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:29,240 Speaker 1: to from the standpoint that there's got to be a line. 482 00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:31,840 Speaker 1: You're the boss, but you also like a good joke, 483 00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:33,880 Speaker 1: and you were one of the boys at one point 484 00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:35,600 Speaker 1: who was sitting out in the audience, and so you 485 00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:39,720 Speaker 1: know what that's like. You were famous for maybe not famous. 486 00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:42,359 Speaker 1: It was rumored that you messed with coach Bilichick a 487 00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:44,880 Speaker 1: little bit. I did, and I think that here's the thing. 488 00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:47,560 Speaker 1: If you take yourself too seriously, it's hard to give 489 00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:51,320 Speaker 1: yourself to a team. And if it's it was funny. 490 00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:53,680 Speaker 1: I laughed. And so then after that, I said, well, 491 00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:56,320 Speaker 1: everybody too much, don't I said, well, well, you're clearly 492 00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:58,679 Speaker 1: a much better coach than you are a player. After that, 493 00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:01,439 Speaker 1: I don't have anything else. I said, you nailed it. 494 00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:05,200 Speaker 1: So he kind of that was my jab back at him, 495 00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:10,000 Speaker 1: and I said, you pretty much covered everything.
