Speaker 1: This is the OTP presented by Farm Bureau Health Plans.
Speaker 1: Healthcare coverage from Farm Bureau Health Plans is like an
Speaker 1: extra set of pads when you need them the most.
Speaker 1: They've been protecting Tennesseeans for seventy five years. Are you
Speaker 1: ready for the schedule? Welcome to the Titans Locker Room.
Speaker 1: I'm Mike Keith. This is coach Dave McGinnis from Titans Radio.
Speaker 1: We're excited to have PSL founders with us for the
Speaker 1: first time we've ever done an event in the Titans
Speaker 1: locker room. We're here tonight to talk about the twenty
Speaker 1: twenty two Titans. A great thing. Give yourselves a hand. Yes,
Speaker 1: and this is presented by SHIFT for the official Payment
Speaker 1: Solutions partner of the Tennessee Titans. Schedule release has become
Speaker 1: a major event when you were coaching, did you take
Speaker 1: it this seriously? Yes, Okay, this is a big deal.
Speaker 1: I mean it's a big deal for you as a
Speaker 1: coach and a player, it really and for fans. I mean,
Speaker 1: because you work all offseason, you put a group together
Speaker 1: during the draft, you've got you've got a new group
Speaker 1: that you're getting ready to bring together on the field.
Speaker 1: You know, for the training camps. But you want to know,
Speaker 1: you've got to know as a coach, so you can
Speaker 1: start to prepare. And so this is this was always
Speaker 1: a big deal, and it's it's getting to be a
Speaker 1: bigger deal, which is great by me, Mike. It's a good,
Speaker 1: good thing, all right. So we're ready to take a
Speaker 1: look at it. Let's go game by game for the
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two Titans schedule in the preseason, three games,
Speaker 1: two of them are at home, and the Titans will
Speaker 1: open in the preseason at Baltimore on August the eleventh
Speaker 1: at six thirty, and then we'll come home to play
Speaker 1: Tampa and Arizona in weeks two and three, the dates
Speaker 1: and times to be determined. So again, Baltimore at Baltimore,
Speaker 1: week one of the preseason Thursday, August the eleventh, then
Speaker 1: home for Tampa and home for Arizona. Those are the
Speaker 1: three preseason games. The regular season opener at Nissan Stadium
Speaker 1: right here three twenty five Central time. The Titans will
Speaker 1: open up against the New York Giants. Let's go, and
Speaker 1: from there we are on the road to Buffalo Monday
Speaker 1: Night football against the Bills. The Titans and Bills square
Speaker 1: off for the fifth consecutive season, third consecutive year in primetime.
Speaker 1: Coachback Buffalo will have had eleven days rest before this
Speaker 1: game because they actually opened the regular season on September
Speaker 1: eight at Sofi Stadium against the world champion Rams. They
Speaker 1: have some of them to do, but you know what,
Speaker 1: I don't care because we played them last year with
Speaker 1: a sixteen day break and we had no practice and
Speaker 1: we beat them. So you know what, how much that
Speaker 1: bothers me? Close me, close your eyes, tell me what
Speaker 1: you see. Nothing, nothing is very nine. Let's go to
Speaker 1: the last game in the month of September. September twenty fifth,
Speaker 1: we're back here at Nieside Stadium. We say hello to
Speaker 1: Las Vegas, who used to be Oakland, and then they
Speaker 1: were Los Angeles, and then they were Oakland and still
Speaker 1: the Raiders. Noon starts at Nieside Stadium. The Titans play
Speaker 1: host to the Raiders. They traveled to Nashville for the
Speaker 1: first time since twenty seventeen. Let's go division to begin October.
Speaker 1: Let's go up the road to Indianapolis and noons start.
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan and the Colts hosting the Titans on October.
Speaker 1: The seconds, Big, Big, Big, game. I mean, you've got
Speaker 1: to be able to win your division to get in
Speaker 1: the tournament. That's what we all want to get in
Speaker 1: the tournament. This is a big game, first month of
Speaker 1: the season. Everybody should be fresh and ready to go.
Speaker 1: We know these people better than they know themselves. I
Speaker 1: can't wait for this one. October ninth, Week five, the
Speaker 1: Titans go to Washington for the first time since twenty
Speaker 1: fourteen to play the Commanders. Kurson Wentz, their quarterback, Ron Rivera,
Speaker 1: their head coach. Yes, I coach Ron for seven years
Speaker 1: at the Chicago Bears. He's doing a nice job of
Speaker 1: getting that thing turned around. As far as just for
Speaker 1: the atmosphere in that locker room and within that organization.
Speaker 1: Still doesn't matter. I want to beat him real bad.
Speaker 1: All right, good Week six? Maybe a bit of a surprise.
Speaker 1: The Titans are off a bye weekend. In Week six.
Speaker 1: We'll talk more about this. So coming off the bye,
Speaker 1: who did the Titans get Indianapolis again? Here at Nside Stadium?
Speaker 1: Breaks your heart to play the Colts coming off a bye, right, Coach, Well,
Speaker 1: this is a second year in a row we've sandwiched
Speaker 1: the Colts, and sandwich games are always interesting. This is
Speaker 1: big because now all of a sudden, you have got
Speaker 1: a chance to go up in the Division two old
Speaker 1: beat them, beat them twice within three weeks. This is
Speaker 1: a nice thing. Titans are done with the Colts on
Speaker 1: October twenty third, Tennessee staying in the division. On October
Speaker 1: the thirtieth, traveling to Houston, it is a three oh
Speaker 1: five start. Their new head coaches, Lovey Smith. Yeah, Lovey Smith,
Speaker 1: and Lovey will do a good job with this team. Again.
Speaker 1: Now we're into it. Now we're looked at all of
Speaker 1: a sudden, guys, here we are, and now we've had
Speaker 1: three division games, three division games this early. You've got
Speaker 1: a chance to jump start this thing pretty quick. October
Speaker 1: is over. Let's go to November. Let's go to primetime.
Speaker 1: Let's go to Kansas City Sunday night football. The Titans
Speaker 1: in the Chiefs. Tennessee whipped KC last year twenty seven
Speaker 1: to three. This will be the Titans first trip back
Speaker 1: to Arrowhead since the AFC Championship game in twenty nine.
Speaker 1: It's always a great environment up there. And look, the
Speaker 1: Titans want to be and are one of the top
Speaker 1: is in the AFC. So are these people Let's go
Speaker 1: up there and beat them so the whole nation can
Speaker 1: see it. Another AFC West opponent on Sunday, November thirteenth,
Speaker 1: here at Nissan Stadium, it's Russell Wilson and the Denver Broncos.
Speaker 1: Strange to say, isn't it. It's strange to say, but
Speaker 1: this will be a very very interesting ball game because
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson, of course, Josh McDaniel, new head coach up there.
Speaker 1: This is going to be a very very interesting game.
Speaker 1: All AFC games count a lot. Division games count twice.
Speaker 1: AFC games count a lot. All right, let's go to
Speaker 1: Thursday Night football November seventeenth. We're going to Lembo Field,
Speaker 1: the Titans going to take on the Green Bay Packers
Speaker 1: at seven fifteen. Short week for the Titans to get
Speaker 1: ready for the Packers. Another great quarterback. But at this
Speaker 1: time of the year, you know, in the middle of November,
Speaker 1: you've pretty much got set what you're going to do.
Speaker 1: We you know, we were up there and last year
Speaker 1: at the end of December, just a tag bit Nippi, Mike,
Speaker 1: because a little bit cold up there. I can still
Speaker 1: remember you driving the rent car, sliding all over the
Speaker 1: place until I told you. How about this snow dial
Speaker 1: It says, yeah, you're putting that on. We did a
Speaker 1: lot better. We need to go beat them up there.
Speaker 1: I'll remember to turn on the four wheel drive earlier. Good,
Speaker 1: all right? At ten day break November twenty seventh, don't
Speaker 1: have to say much about this one Nissan Stadium. There
Speaker 1: we go Cincinnati, a noon start. Let's go to the
Speaker 1: month of December. December fourth at Philadelphia, the Titans traveling
Speaker 1: to Lincoln Financial Field for the third time in the
Speaker 1: regular season, the first time in eight years. Eagles going
Speaker 1: to be an interesting team. The Eagles are going to
Speaker 1: be a very very interesting team this year. December fourth,
Speaker 1: up there in Philly. You know, I was in the
Speaker 1: NFC East for quite a while when I was with
Speaker 1: the Cardinals. That can be an interesting place. Whetherwise the
Speaker 1: beginning of December. We'll see what that is. Sunday, December
Speaker 1: the eleventh. Who haven't we seen yet? Doug Peterson, the
Speaker 1: former Philly coach, and the Jacksonville Jaguars. They're coming back,
Speaker 1: and there we go. Now we are back into the division.
Speaker 1: We all know how important it is to win your
Speaker 1: division games. Got the Jaguars. Now, after we've already had
Speaker 1: three early on. Last year, the Titans went to Sofi
Speaker 1: Stadium and beat the Rams in Los Angeles. This year,
Speaker 1: the Titans will go back to Sofi Stadium and try
Speaker 1: to beat the Chargers. No good, A good trip. First
Speaker 1: of all, it's a tremendous stadium, and I want us
Speaker 1: to do just to the Chargers what we did to
Speaker 1: the Rams. Exactly, pattern perfect. Okay. So the next weekend
Speaker 1: is Christmas weekend. The majority of NFL games will be
Speaker 1: on Saturday. The Titans have drawn one of those Saturday
Speaker 1: games at Nissan Stadium, will play host to the Houston Texans.
Speaker 1: Houston Texans again in the division, right before Christmas. What
Speaker 1: a great Christmas present to beat the Texans here right
Speaker 1: before Santa Claus comes. All right, So one Thursday night
Speaker 1: game Green Bay. Then how about another Thursday night game
Speaker 1: against the Dallas Cowboy. There we go. They't come in
Speaker 1: here on December the twenty night. I guess we don't
Speaker 1: really need to add much to that doing. No, I
Speaker 1: love this. I love this so much. I love this
Speaker 1: crowd too. They're right on cue. But this is this
Speaker 1: is going to be a lot of fun, all right.
Speaker 1: Then the regular season finale will be at Jacksonville, and
Speaker 1: it'll either be January seventh or eight. It will be
Speaker 1: at a time to be determined based on what's happening
Speaker 1: during the season. Normally they set these in November. Sometimes
Speaker 1: they'll let them go to December even before making the decision.
Speaker 1: We'll see, well, you'll see. But it's a flex game.
Speaker 1: It's it's a flex you know, for one of those
Speaker 1: two days, which is fine, We'll just go down there
Speaker 1: and beat Jacksonville. Doesn't matter what day, all right, Your
Speaker 1: thoughts on the schedule coach matter first of all, as
Speaker 1: a as a as a former coach. When you look
Speaker 1: at it, you want to see where your open date is.
Speaker 1: I like for our open date comes. And you got
Speaker 1: to remember too, it's not just it's not just a
Speaker 1: sixth week. You've already had your preseason two. So it's
Speaker 1: a it's a it's a good time where you come there.
Speaker 1: I also always looked at division games. We get a
Speaker 1: chance to jump out ahead in our division early on.
Speaker 1: We've got three division games when october's over. That's very
Speaker 1: very important. I like that, and plus four national games.
Speaker 1: Four national games. I mean that to me shows respect
Speaker 1: for what the Titans are and it shows. It shows
Speaker 1: to me that people in the league office recognize what
Speaker 1: the Titans are. Right now, I love the National Games, Mike,
Speaker 1: Let's talk about the opener with the Giants, because the
Speaker 1: Giants obviously weren't very good last year. They have a
Speaker 1: new coach in Brian day Boll. Their defensive coordinator is
Speaker 1: Wink Martindale who used to be in Baltimore. They're gonna
Speaker 1: have four months to get ready for the Titans with
Speaker 1: a new coach and some new people who know the Titans.
Speaker 1: That one makes me nervous. Yeah. Well, the thing about
Speaker 1: day Ball is, you know it's coming from Buffalo, you
Speaker 1: know what. You know what his offense is going to
Speaker 1: look like. I've known Wink Martindale ever since he's been
Speaker 1: in the league. I think he's been in the league
Speaker 1: seventeen years. I've been in it about twice that so
Speaker 1: I know Wink very well. You're gonna have to get
Speaker 1: set for your blitzes against Wink Martindale. They're special teams,
Speaker 1: special teams coach mcgay he's been there for five seasons,
Speaker 1: so we're gonna have a lot of tape on these people.
Speaker 1: That's important for your first game, Mike, you want relevant
Speaker 1: tape so that you can get ready. They can do
Speaker 1: whatever they want new, but they've got coaches that have
Speaker 1: been in this league that have patterns already. These PSL founders,
Speaker 1: many of them like to go to one or two
Speaker 1: or three road games a year. What are the road
Speaker 1: trips that you like on the Titan schedule for where
Speaker 1: they fall? Kansas City is always cool. Kansas City is
Speaker 1: a great, great environment. It's not very far. You know.
Speaker 1: The last time we were there, we had a whole
Speaker 1: caravan you know that came from Nashville down there. That's
Speaker 1: very if you've never been. If you've never been to
Speaker 1: Green Bay, let me just tell yet, sometimes that is
Speaker 1: that's a bucket list trip. I was ten years at
Speaker 1: the Bears, and believe me, it's a Green Bay for
Speaker 1: just as it stands alone, is a cathedral to football.
Speaker 1: It really is, you know, because Bears and the Packers
Speaker 1: two original teams. If you've never experienced Green Bay, their
Speaker 1: fans are tremendous. They understand the game, and plus it's
Speaker 1: just such a cool place. And then when the Titans
Speaker 1: would went up there, just think you can come back
Speaker 1: and say I've been I've been to Lambeau and we
Speaker 1: beat the Packers, and to go to SOFI in December
Speaker 1: would be a great thing to see Titans Chargers. If
Speaker 1: you haven't never been to Sofi, I mean, it's it's
Speaker 1: I was out there when all this was going on,
Speaker 1: you know, when we first moved the team, the rams
Speaker 1: out there. It is spectacular. It is spectacular. To give
Speaker 1: you a little bit of perspective. The same group that
Speaker 1: built Minnesota Stadium, that built Dallas' Stadium, built this stadium.
Speaker 1: You can take Jerry Stadium, which he's very proud of. Right,
Speaker 1: everybody's seen Jerry World and can fit it inside so far.
Speaker 1: That's how big this place is. It's massive. It's impressive.
Speaker 1: All right. We're gonna look at the schedule now through
Speaker 1: the months of the season. We obviously start in September
Speaker 1: three games, one primetime game at Buffalo, but two home
Speaker 1: games overall. So that's the way September gets started for
Speaker 1: the Titans. Giants at home at Buffalo, Las Vegas, two
Speaker 1: home games. Remember too, the Titans only have eight regular
Speaker 1: season home games this season because the seventeenth game is
Speaker 1: Green Bay, which means this is the year you play
Speaker 1: nine road games to October. We go the buye is
Speaker 1: in week six and so road game at Indianapolis, road
Speaker 1: game at Washington after the bye home for Indie at Houston.
Speaker 1: Three road games in that month. Let's go to November. Now,
Speaker 1: this is amazing because if you look at Kansas City,
Speaker 1: they have Patrick Mahomes, Denver has Russell Wilson, Green Bay
Speaker 1: has Aaron Rodgers, Cincinnati has Joe Burrow. That's some quarterbacks.
Speaker 1: That is some quarterbacks. Of course, you guys saw the
Speaker 1: great transformation this defense made last year that they are
Speaker 1: going to even be more transfer formed this year. But
Speaker 1: this right here is a challenge defensively because of these quarterbacks.
Speaker 1: As Mike said, all right, December is an extremely busy
Speaker 1: overall month. Five games beginning with Philadelphia in week thirteen,
Speaker 1: Jacksonville at home, the Chargers in Los Angeles, and then
Speaker 1: home dates two games within five days, Houston and Dallas.
Speaker 1: It's a big, big month. This is a big month,
Speaker 1: and you sit it there as a coach when you
Speaker 1: look at it, two games in five days, and you
Speaker 1: start looking at the people that you're playing. You know,
Speaker 1: Philadelphia is an unfamiliar opponent. You're very, very familiar with
Speaker 1: Jacksonville and Houston Chargers again we know them, but we
Speaker 1: don't know him. And then Dallas. It's always fun to
Speaker 1: play Dallas, but this is a big five game stretch.
Speaker 1: And then in January, just one game. Not sure whether
Speaker 1: it will be the seventh or the eighth, but it
Speaker 1: is Week eighteen at Jacksonville. There you go, there you go.
Speaker 1: All right. We want to take a look at the
Speaker 1: bye week. It is in week six this year, and
Speaker 1: we take a look at bye weeks through the Mike
Speaker 1: Vrabel era, and it's been really all over the road.
Speaker 1: In his first season twenty eighteen, we had a bye
Speaker 1: right after we went to London, which is in Week
Speaker 1: eight twenty nineteen. Normal the week eleven, twenty twenty. Due
Speaker 1: to COVID, the Titans had to use their buy in
Speaker 1: week four, it would have been a week seven. By
Speaker 1: last year, we had to wait all the way until
Speaker 1: week thirteen. This year, week six in the regular season,
Speaker 1: Mike vrabel teams are four and oh after buy games.
Speaker 1: And remember the opponent after this year's bye is Indianapolis.
Speaker 1: Why are they so good after buys? Because he does
Speaker 1: such a great job with his altered schedules. That's why
Speaker 1: the four national games that we have. He's tremendous with
Speaker 1: altered schedules. He puts a lot of thought into it.
Speaker 1: Plus he understands the players. He gets from a lot
Speaker 1: of ways. That's important for a coach to understand where
Speaker 1: his players are mentally and physically at certain times during
Speaker 1: the year. But coming off of a bye he approaches
Speaker 1: it first of all with the health of his team.
Speaker 1: But then he also knows how to get his staff
Speaker 1: ready because when you're coming off a bye, you have
Speaker 1: to plan that bye week, not only for some practices
Speaker 1: because you have to give your players off through the weekend,
Speaker 1: but how you're going to prepare for the next opponent.
Speaker 1: He's excellent, excellent at that four primetime games for the Titans,
Speaker 1: they're most on an original schedule since two thousand and nine.
Speaker 1: Here are the primetime games that are scheduled, and there
Speaker 1: could be more added with a flex at Buffalo Monday
Speaker 1: night football, Kansas City is Sunday night football. Green Bay
Speaker 1: at Green Bay and then Dallas at home are both
Speaker 1: Thursday night games. Titans under Mike Vrabel are seven and
Speaker 1: oz in primetime games, and these are really seven and
Speaker 1: five time. These are real NFL games right here. And
Speaker 1: if you want to see great NFL games, these are
Speaker 1: great NFL matchups right here. And to be in primetime
Speaker 1: as a coach and a player and as fans, this
Speaker 1: is what you want. This is what you want, This
Speaker 1: is what we got. This excites me. All right. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna get Joey Meredith to come up this way because
Speaker 1: we want to talk about tickets for just a minute.
Speaker 1: Many of you out there joining us want to know
Speaker 1: all about what you can do ticket wise. I would
Speaker 1: recommend the Flex plans, And under the Flex Plans, you
Speaker 1: can pick the games you want to attend by customizing
Speaker 1: a ticket package. And Joey Meredith, who is the director
Speaker 1: of ticket sales, is coming in. He's got his oilers
Speaker 1: gear on that of boy ready yeah that he talking
Speaker 1: about the history the flex plans. Two game plans, three
Speaker 1: game plans, five game plans. How does it work so
Speaker 1: you can customize your schedule? A lot of people are
Speaker 1: busy these days. You can pick the games that fit
Speaker 1: your needs. One of the reasons we have to do
Speaker 1: that because the people in this room renewed at a
Speaker 1: record rate this year. That's awesome, not a yeah, yep,
Speaker 1: ye so there, there's just not a lot of seats
Speaker 1: out there, not a lot of tickets to choose from.
Speaker 1: So what we do have left over, you can use
Speaker 1: our two game or five game to make a schedule
Speaker 1: that fitchers, and the tickets are in the three hundred
Speaker 1: level and they start at one hundred and fifty two dollars.
Speaker 1: It's a really great deal if you can't make it
Speaker 1: to every game, and we know many of you who
Speaker 1: are with us are out of town and can't make
Speaker 1: every single one, or you couldn't get a PSL because
Speaker 1: somebody renewed all of theirs, which was good news. So
Speaker 1: good stuff right there with the flex plans. Let's talk
Speaker 1: about season tickets for just a minute. Even though the
Speaker 1: renewals are high, season tickets are still available. We do
Speaker 1: have some, and I think the people in this room
Speaker 1: would agree that the stadium atmosphere the last couple of
Speaker 1: years has been a lot like the early two thousands,
Speaker 1: and a lot of that is because our large season
Speaker 1: ticket member base, so we are limited. A lot of
Speaker 1: the areas are sold out, but there are still some
Speaker 1: good ones. So if you are interested, our office our
Speaker 1: reps will be able to help find some of the
Speaker 1: decent ones that are left, okay, And there are some
Speaker 1: lower level seats. There's some lower level, sideline, lower level,
Speaker 1: end zone, club levels super low, but we'll do our
Speaker 1: best to find you a good seat, all right. So again,
Speaker 1: if you're interested in Titans season tickets, they are available
Speaker 1: six one five five six five forty two hundred. There
Speaker 1: it is. You can call our text six one five
Speaker 1: five six five forty two hundred and then I guess groups.
Speaker 1: We do have some groups. We want local groups, so okay, yeah, Dallas,
Speaker 1: all those people stay away. We want local companies, local
Speaker 1: nonprofits to come out. We do have some space, but
Speaker 1: not a lot, but call our reps will help you out,
Speaker 1: all right. So how does the group package work? Is
Speaker 1: there a minimum? How does that go? Yeah? Ten or
Speaker 1: more people qualify for our group. Right, it's a discounted ticket.
Speaker 1: So you'll get to see some Titans football for a
Speaker 1: good price, all right. So you see the home games,
Speaker 1: the Colts, the Jaguars and everybody in between. The estimated
Speaker 1: number of tickets that you would want just two hundred
Speaker 1: and fifty dollars to hold them, and I think it's
Speaker 1: what a minimum of ten, that's right? Minimum? So bring
Speaker 1: your nine closest friends come watching Titans football. And also
Speaker 1: some hospitality available we do. Yeah, so a lot of
Speaker 1: the corporate companies that that we work with that are entertaining,
Speaker 1: we have some food options for them. UM, definitely ask
Speaker 1: about those because they're limited. All right, As I let
Speaker 1: Joey Meredith go, thanks so much for being with us,
Speaker 1: I want to put up on the screen this email
Speaker 1: address that you need to know groups at Titans dot
Speaker 1: NFL dot com for more information. And that's the way
Speaker 1: that you were able to find out about group tickets.
Speaker 1: These are things that we didn't have in the You're
Speaker 1: you're not leaving. I'm a man of the people. I'm
Speaker 1: a man of the people. So they said, they said
Speaker 1: that they would shoot me over here, and so I'm
Speaker 1: gonna so you're not coming back. Well, I'll be back
Speaker 1: in a second. But this is this is really this
Speaker 1: is really comfortable over here with these people. I feel
Speaker 1: because you know how much I enjoy the fans. I
Speaker 1: can't I can't get this close when we lean out
Speaker 1: of the booth. So now I'm close. All right, Well

Speaker 1: schedule again. Okay, are you ready an't done that from

Speaker 1: do this, and to see some of those teams that
Speaker 1: are coming in here. I love when you say the
Speaker 1: Month of the Quarterbacks, because that's what it's going to be.
Speaker 1: This is really an exciting schedule. Cannot wait and I
Speaker 1: know I have to. I've been in the league thirty
Speaker 1: six years now, and every year at this time, I'm
Speaker 1: just like a little kid again because it's starting to
Speaker 1: ramp up. It's starting to amp up, and I'm really
Speaker 1: fired up about it. And the rookies are here getting
Speaker 1: to work. Coach Mac, I'm gonna go watch them with
Speaker 1: you tomorrow and so absolutely so it's gonna be Look, guys,
Speaker 1: this is why we do it. And when we got
Speaker 1: the permission from John Robinson to do this, because Mike
Speaker 1: Keith said we got permission from John Robinson to do this,
Speaker 1: well that's what I was told. Okay, good. This has
Speaker 1: been a fantastic, fantastic event. I mean, there's nobody else
Speaker 1: doing this across the National Football League, so everybody else
Speaker 1: too bad. So the Titans, we know the schedule now,
Speaker 1: the rookies are here, the veterans are in town going
Speaker 1: through what they're doing in the offseason program. At that
Speaker 1: it's about to ramp up as well, moving towards the
Speaker 1: four weeks which essentially our spring practice for pro football
Speaker 1: players before the June fourteenth through sixteenth minicamps. Yeah, let's
Speaker 1: jump on the rookies a minute. It's really important to
Speaker 1: know the Mike Vrabel and his experience coaching staff. They're
Speaker 1: not going to ask these rookies to come in here
Speaker 1: and go one hundred miles an hour when they first
Speaker 1: show up. This is all about them getting used to
Speaker 1: their surroundings, figuring out where their meeting rooms are, where
Speaker 1: they're going to eat, how they're going to get back
Speaker 1: and forth. All this is important because they're all coming
Speaker 1: from different places, from their collegiate places, and they don't
Speaker 1: know they don't know about the National Football League. And
Speaker 1: I'll tell y'all something too, that's important. It's important to
Speaker 1: get them here before the Vets come in because they
Speaker 1: get a little bit more acclimated and they're nervous, and
Speaker 1: they're really when the Vets show up, they don't know
Speaker 1: whether they're foot or horseback. I'm telling you, it's a
Speaker 1: different world that they're in right now. So this is
Speaker 1: a great time for them to come together as a
Speaker 1: rookie class. And what's really interesting about this rookie class too,
Speaker 1: is it they're a little older as a group of guys.
Speaker 1: Some of them are twenty three, twenty four years old,
Speaker 1: and you would think that that would help their acclamation process,
Speaker 1: except they're brand new to the NFL and the NFL
Speaker 1: is a different world. I can't wait to see him tomorrow, Mike.
Speaker 1: I'm really looking forward to that, all right. So as
Speaker 1: we go through this process, the schedules out, what do
Speaker 1: the coaches start doing and the scouting staff? What did
Speaker 1: those men start doing? Right now? Men and womenation? Well,
Speaker 1: the first thing, the first thing everybody starts to do.
Speaker 1: You've all got your assignments as far as which teams
Speaker 1: you're going to break down. You break down the first three.
Speaker 1: Normally you put five or six games into a game plan,
Speaker 1: but at the early part of it, you're gonna have
Speaker 1: to break down some games from the previous places these
Speaker 1: coaches have been. So everybody's got assignments to do that,
Speaker 1: and then you're you're right on top of the rookies.
Speaker 1: That's what you want to do right now, Mike Vrabel,
Speaker 1: as we all have said already, he does a great
Speaker 1: job with his scheduling, So they're going to be on
Speaker 1: point with what they're doing. But right now, guys, it's
Speaker 1: it's pedal to the metal because it started again. Can
Speaker 1: I thank our PSL founders for being here in the
