Did you wear that number somewhere else? 171 00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:26,640 Speaker 1: I don't know, Coach, he wore thirty two, and Hughes 172 00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:28,720 Speaker 1: that's what I thought. He was thirty two at Houston. 173 00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:32,560 Speaker 1: Do you think twenty nine is better? At twenty is 174 00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:36,560 Speaker 1: better than thirty nine? Yes, you were a defensive back, 175 00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:39,360 Speaker 1: Yes I was. Twenty twenty is good. Whatever did you 176 00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:43,959 Speaker 1: wear at TCU? Twenty seven? Twenty seven is a good number. 177 00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:46,600 Speaker 1: Was an attractive number. It's in the Hall of Fame. 178 00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:48,760 Speaker 1: It's all over the stadium down there. Amy G. Carter, 179 00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:52,079 Speaker 1: isn't really Oh yeah, of course, Amy, we're taking a trip. 180 00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:55,200 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, of course, of course taking a trip, all right, 181 00:10:55,280 --> 00:11:00,760 Speaker 1: So Trey Avery, the undrafted corner from rud Cerus who 182 00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:05,400 Speaker 1: made the team, he had twenty three. He's now thirty 183 00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:09,040 Speaker 1: better or worse. Oh, I'm a big fan of twenty 184 00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:13,079 Speaker 1: three though, Yeah, I'm gonna say worse. And I usually 185 00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:16,079 Speaker 1: like the even numbers. I would respect the Jason mccorty 186 00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:23,360 Speaker 1: who or the thirty well yes, no, yes, downgrades all right. 187 00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:28,559 Speaker 1: And so our men Nashville and Ugo Amadi had thirty eight, 188 00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:35,160 Speaker 1: now has thirty two. Much better, all right. So those 189 00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:38,839 Speaker 1: three defensive backs have changed numbers. We passed that along. 190 00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:44,160 Speaker 1: Racie McMath has gone on injured reserve because he was 191 00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:49,400 Speaker 1: on the initial Titans roster. RACYE. McMath is eligible to 192 00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:54,440 Speaker 1: return from i R in four games. You can have 193 00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:57,320 Speaker 1: eight players return during the course of the year. The 194 00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:01,719 Speaker 1: same player can return multiple times, but it has to 195 00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:06,240 Speaker 1: total out at eight moves, correct, So Racy McMath is 196 00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:10,360 Speaker 1: out four games. The Titans bring back veteran Cody Hollister red. 197 00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:12,800 Speaker 1: I don't think that's a surprise. That's who they chose 198 00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:17,520 Speaker 1: for special teams reasons. Absolutely, and he knows the system 199 00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:19,920 Speaker 1: and he's played in games. He's played in big games 200 00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:23,160 Speaker 1: for the Titans. The former Arkansas razorback has been on 201 00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:25,240 Speaker 1: this roster off and on for three or four years. 202 00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:30,080 Speaker 1: So no, not a surprise, coach. No, that's a good move, 203 00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:32,480 Speaker 1: and you knew that well, that was the reason, you know. 204 00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:35,040 Speaker 1: First of all, they were they were very glad that 205 00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:37,000 Speaker 1: he cleared Waivers to be able to put him on 206 00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:39,600 Speaker 1: the practice squad. And if there's anything for the National 207 00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:42,960 Speaker 1: Football League that he even has an ounce of good 208 00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:45,480 Speaker 1: thing to it about the COVID was the sixteen man 209 00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:49,440 Speaker 1: practice squad. That's a game changer, all right, Amy, Let's 210 00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:54,360 Speaker 1: talk a little bit about the Reggie Robertson and David 211 00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:58,880 Speaker 1: Wells leaving the practice squad. Reggie Robertson, the rookie wide 212 00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:03,400 Speaker 1: receiver from SMU. David Wells, the second year tight end 213 00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:08,439 Speaker 1: who is out of San Diego State. Initially, all sixteen 214 00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:12,040 Speaker 1: members of the Titans practice squad were people who had 215 00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:15,240 Speaker 1: been with the Titans in training camp. We didn't think 216 00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:17,920 Speaker 1: that had ever happened before. No, I didn't think that 217 00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:20,800 Speaker 1: had ever happened before. But I wasn't surprised by it 218 00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:24,280 Speaker 1: because of the way that we saw guys getting work 219 00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:27,240 Speaker 1: towards the end of camp. You saw a lot of 220 00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:30,640 Speaker 1: people who you thought, you know, there still might be 221 00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:33,000 Speaker 1: something there. They seem to be getting a lot of reps. 222 00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:35,040 Speaker 1: It seems like they're liking some of the things that 223 00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:37,360 Speaker 1: they're doing. I bet they're going to find a place 224 00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:40,800 Speaker 1: for them. And that practice squad, with it being expanded, 225 00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:43,319 Speaker 1: gives them a lot more options and a lot more 226 00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:45,720 Speaker 1: opportunities to be able to kind of get in the 227 00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:49,480 Speaker 1: fold as the season goes on. So I wasn't surprised 228 00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:53,400 Speaker 1: by that. What it told me is that a lot 229 00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:55,960 Speaker 1: of these were the undrafted free agents that they took 230 00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:59,760 Speaker 1: and assembled immediately after the draft in April, and they 231 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:03,160 Speaker 1: liked what they saw. Then those players did something on 232 00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:05,920 Speaker 1: the practice field in preseason games for them to be 233 00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:08,720 Speaker 1: able to transition to the practice squads. That makes sense. Well, 234 00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:11,240 Speaker 1: the other thing that's important again, I mentioned that sixteen. 235 00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:13,960 Speaker 1: That's sixteen number is big and the fact that you 236 00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:17,479 Speaker 1: can put them on and off several times without exposing 237 00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:20,720 Speaker 1: them to waivers makes a big, big difference. And the 238 00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:24,680 Speaker 1: fact that you can have six veterans out of that sixteen, yeah, 239 00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:28,040 Speaker 1: that's a game changer. Two. When they first brought in 240 00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:31,520 Speaker 1: the practice squad under the CBA. It was five players. 241 00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:34,600 Speaker 1: We could get five players and that was it, and 242 00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:37,000 Speaker 1: you had to expose every one of them to waivers 243 00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:38,960 Speaker 1: if you were if you were going to be able 244 00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:41,160 Speaker 1: to take them off of there. So now this is 245 00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:44,920 Speaker 1: a much better thing. It helps you manage your roster 246 00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:48,600 Speaker 1: a lot easier. All right, So let's talk about who 247 00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:52,520 Speaker 1: the Titans add in those two sky practice squad spaces. 248 00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:56,160 Speaker 1: Reet they go with Kevin Rader, who will wear eighty 249 00:14:56,320 --> 00:15:01,440 Speaker 1: six practice squad tight End convert d D Lineman from 250 00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:06,000 Speaker 1: Youngstown State. In his time with the Penguins forty one catches, 251 00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:10,320 Speaker 1: six hundred one catches, four touchdowns. Came into the league 252 00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:13,920 Speaker 1: as an undrafted free agent in twenty eighteen with Green Bay, 253 00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:19,360 Speaker 1: best known for playing for Pittsburgh, and caught two passes 254 00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:24,040 Speaker 1: for eight yards in seven games with two starts for 255 00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:27,000 Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh Steelers. So he is twenty seven years old, 256 00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:32,240 Speaker 1: six four, two fifty. I think what this says is 257 00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:36,720 Speaker 1: he's a blocker. Former D Lineman wasn't a huge pass 258 00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:40,160 Speaker 1: catcher in college. Does that make sense to you? Yes, 259 00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:44,600 Speaker 1: And looking at those numbers of his measurement wise, yeah, 260 00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:48,080 Speaker 1: I think that what it speaks to me and you 261 00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:50,200 Speaker 1: know they currently have three tight ends on the roster, 262 00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:53,720 Speaker 1: and knowing what they do and how they run the ball, 263 00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:56,560 Speaker 1: this would make sense for something down the road. Well, 264 00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:59,360 Speaker 1: I mean, Jeff Swaim is really our edge blocker in 265 00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:01,440 Speaker 1: the tight end, as Austin Hooper is a big guy 266 00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:03,840 Speaker 1: that's going to be really really good between the numbers, 267 00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:06,600 Speaker 1: and then Chig a con Quot is going to be 268 00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:07,960 Speaker 1: a guy that they're gonna be able to move all 269 00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:11,640 Speaker 1: over the place. This is another edge blocker, Mike all right. 270 00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:15,800 Speaker 1: The other spot is the one that's gotten more attention 271 00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:22,880 Speaker 1: given number nineteen thirty one year old Josh Gordon sixty 272 00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:27,320 Speaker 1: three two twenty five. Officially a sixty year man from Baylor. 273 00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:32,160 Speaker 1: He was taken in the Supplemental Draft in twenty twelve 274 00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:35,760 Speaker 1: by Cleveland a second round pick. His second year with 275 00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:40,440 Speaker 1: the Browns, he caught eighty seven passes for one thousand, 276 00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:44,920 Speaker 1: six hundred forty six yards and nine touchdowns. Again, he's 277 00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:48,320 Speaker 1: thirty one. We know he has had off the field issues, 278 00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:52,840 Speaker 1: as he's been suspended multiple times. Coach Mack he had 279 00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:55,480 Speaker 1: been in camp with Kansas City. He's been working with 280 00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:58,400 Speaker 1: them for six months, so it's not like he's been 281 00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:02,360 Speaker 1: out of ball all the time. I mean feels like 282 00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:05,040 Speaker 1: it's worth a shot. This is no big gamble at all. 283 00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:06,760 Speaker 1: I mean, you bring him in, you let him soak. 284 00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:09,080 Speaker 1: You bring guys in their veterans. You're gonna let him 285 00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:11,399 Speaker 1: soak on your on your on your roster, you know, 286 00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:14,560 Speaker 1: in the in the practice squad again, that sixteen number 287 00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:16,720 Speaker 1: is coming into being here. And then just see what 288 00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:18,919 Speaker 1: he can do, you know, and and if he if 289 00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:21,280 Speaker 1: he shows can and can and can stay up to 290 00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:23,919 Speaker 1: with what you're doing at some point in the season, 291 00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:26,760 Speaker 1: if you need him, you've got a veteran player. Yeah. 292 00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:29,040 Speaker 1: And if nothing else, he's a veteran presence in a 293 00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:32,440 Speaker 1: room that has a lot of young guys. So he's 294 00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:37,040 Speaker 1: someone who can provide some insight, can provide some assistance, 295 00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:39,800 Speaker 1: a fresh set of eyes and new set of eyes. Um. 296 00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:42,640 Speaker 1: And then yet, to coach Max's point, he can kind 297 00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:45,960 Speaker 1: of find his spot around here. He can find where 298 00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:48,920 Speaker 1: he might fit within this team. And then if you 299 00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:51,800 Speaker 1: need him, you've got him, which is great. Well, and 300 00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:54,080 Speaker 1: just speak on that experience. He has sixty four games 301 00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:57,080 Speaker 1: he's appeared in and still has a seventeen yard per 302 00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:59,640 Speaker 1: catch average in his career. So he's done some things. 303 00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:02,720 Speaker 1: He's just had some bumps on the road. He's played 304 00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:06,840 Speaker 1: as heavy as like two forty Yes, I mean he's 305 00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:11,639 Speaker 1: like a David Boston type guy. Maybe not quite as 306 00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:14,000 Speaker 1: big as David Boston, but well there were none as 307 00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:16,480 Speaker 1: big as David Boston when he came back at one offseason. 308 00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:19,440 Speaker 1: But that's a whole other story. But two forty two 309 00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:23,280 Speaker 1: is a little too much for him. But look at 310 00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:26,080 Speaker 1: Red's point is this, This is a veteran player, has 311 00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:28,480 Speaker 1: been on and off of rosters. But what it points 312 00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:31,879 Speaker 1: out Mike, there's something about him that continues to have 313 00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:34,600 Speaker 1: teams give him a chance. And so let's give him 314 00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:37,840 Speaker 1: a chance. We'll do it. It's on the practice squad now, 315 00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:42,919 Speaker 1: So again to repeat off the practice squad wide receiver, 316 00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:47,040 Speaker 1: Reggie Robertson from SMU tight end, David Wells from San 317 00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:51,879 Speaker 1: Diego State on the practice squad now, Josh Gordon wide receiver, 318 00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:57,800 Speaker 1: Kevin Rader tight end. The news that hit via Reports 319 00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:02,240 Speaker 1: on Thursday morning is a heartbreaker. Rat about the knee 320 00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:07,760 Speaker 1: injury to Harold Landry that you're certainly fearful will cost 321 00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:14,879 Speaker 1: him the year. Big blow. No question about that biggest area. 322 00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:19,680 Speaker 1: You think Landry will be missed, Well, you know, he 323 00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:22,560 Speaker 1: was one of the stalwarts of this Titans defense and 324 00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:25,600 Speaker 1: then a Titans twenty twenty two defense that I still 325 00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:28,080 Speaker 1: believe will be quite good. This is a This is 326 00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:32,080 Speaker 1: a major blow. Now we have seen second year man 327 00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:36,800 Speaker 1: Rashad Weaver take step steps forward, who's really worked his 328 00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:39,160 Speaker 1: rear end off to get back from a season ending 329 00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:42,120 Speaker 1: injury of his own. But a guy that I think 330 00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:44,359 Speaker 1: in Weaver, who is probably going to get twenty thirty 331 00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:46,320 Speaker 1: snaps a game, is going to be relied on much 332 00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:49,920 Speaker 1: more now and I guess it remains to be seen 333 00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:52,000 Speaker 1: if they go look for someone else in this that's 334 00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:55,000 Speaker 1: a major blow for this Titans defense. Well yeah, I 335 00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:57,160 Speaker 1: mean he's been very dependable. You look at the number 336 00:19:57,160 --> 00:20:00,000 Speaker 1: of snaps that he has played in the first four years. 337 00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:02,600 Speaker 1: I mean he barely comes off the field and so 338 00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:05,280 Speaker 1: this absolutely is But look, this is the nature of 339 00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:07,640 Speaker 1: the National Football League. Anytime you put him out there 340 00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:11,719 Speaker 1: across that white line practice her game, there's something has 341 00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:14,720 Speaker 1: a chance to happen. This is a major blow, But 342 00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:17,080 Speaker 1: you've got to overcome it and continue to go because 343 00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:19,600 Speaker 1: I promise you everybody else that we play, they're not 344 00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:22,320 Speaker 1: going to feel sorry for us because we've lost Harold Landry. 345 00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:25,200 Speaker 1: I think with everything he did on the field, of course, 346 00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:29,600 Speaker 1: he was consistent, he was explosive, he played every single snap, 347 00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:32,440 Speaker 1: it felt like. But he's also has a presence in 348 00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:36,000 Speaker 1: the locker room that was improving as he got a 349 00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:39,639 Speaker 1: little bit older. Within this system, any guy on defense 350 00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:41,800 Speaker 1: that you talked to, no matter what their position is, 351 00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:45,040 Speaker 1: they talk about interacting with Harold Landry and he was 352 00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:47,399 Speaker 1: someone that they could ask questions of and he was 353 00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:50,240 Speaker 1: someone who would kind of help to guide them. And man, 354 00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:53,080 Speaker 1: what a guy who led by example too. He didn't 355 00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:55,280 Speaker 1: just talk to talk, he could walk the walk. And 356 00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:58,040 Speaker 1: I think that that is going to be something that's 357 00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:01,320 Speaker 1: really going to be felt in the Titans locker room. 358 00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:03,639 Speaker 1: I mean, there's a lot of leaders, especially on that 359 00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:06,439 Speaker 1: side of the ball, but he had a special spot 360 00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:08,520 Speaker 1: and so it's going to be sad to have a 361 00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:11,040 Speaker 1: little bit of a void there as he's not going 362 00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:13,560 Speaker 1: to be around the team as much as he would 363 00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:16,119 Speaker 1: have to kind of underline what coach Mac and you 364 00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:20,960 Speaker 1: have said, you're replacing trying to place not only for production, 365 00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:23,960 Speaker 1: but the availability. He said over two thousand snaps of 366 00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:26,600 Speaker 1: the last two seasons, nearly thirty six hundred for his career, 367 00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:30,720 Speaker 1: and that's in four years. Availability was his biggest key, 368 00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:33,280 Speaker 1: and then all of his other attributes and him working 369 00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:35,960 Speaker 1: on his pass rusher craft was just the icing on 370 00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:39,560 Speaker 1: the cake. Last year he played nearly ninety percent of 371 00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:43,320 Speaker 1: all snaps in his career as a starter. Really the 372 00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:47,360 Speaker 1: last three years he's played over ninety percent of all snaps. 373 00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:51,000 Speaker 1: Coach Mack put your defensive coordinator had on I think 374 00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:53,680 Speaker 1: Rhet's right. I think that's the biggest area they have 375 00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:57,399 Speaker 1: to replace, is you've got to have somebody to line up. 376 00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:01,119 Speaker 1: Can you count on Weaver to carry a lot of 377 00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:04,600 Speaker 1: that load knowing he's a second year player coming off 378 00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:07,920 Speaker 1: a broken leg, Do is that a dainty or do 379 00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:11,480 Speaker 1: you have to go get a veteran or another or 380 00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:15,280 Speaker 1: or ken a Ninny, the rookie from Houston who's on 381 00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:18,159 Speaker 1: the practice squad helped divide that up. How do you 382 00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:22,320 Speaker 1: attack losing those reps? Well, the first your first question, 383 00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:25,920 Speaker 1: can one person don't know? Because it's really it's really 384 00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:28,680 Speaker 1: unusual for a defensive end, you know, or an outside 385 00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:31,720 Speaker 1: linebacker to play that many snaps and and and the 386 00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:36,600 Speaker 1: other thing about about him, he was developing his game yearly. 387 00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:39,320 Speaker 1: He was really coming on. And so now it's going 388 00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:41,760 Speaker 1: to take multiple people to do that. I think the 389 00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:45,960 Speaker 1: one positive is if there is one from this occurrence. 390 00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:48,960 Speaker 1: The defensive line and the outside backers is a pretty 391 00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:53,160 Speaker 1: deep area for us. But they still got an opportunity now. 392 00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:56,240 Speaker 1: I think they're still okay camp wise to maybe go 393 00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:59,040 Speaker 1: get somebody. But you got under you know this, Mike, 394 00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:01,520 Speaker 1: and I think all ours know this too. They're not 395 00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:05,480 Speaker 1: They're just not great outside linebackers just hanging on trees 396 00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:08,400 Speaker 1: out there, you know. So you've got to decide somebody. 397 00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:11,600 Speaker 1: Really you're better off early in the season having somebody 398 00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:14,160 Speaker 1: that was in camp with you, that's already going through 399 00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:16,919 Speaker 1: your system, and then you kind of let that, let 400 00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:20,159 Speaker 1: that marinade itself, and then see what might be out 401 00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:24,240 Speaker 1: there later on. Does it put more pressure on bud Dupree, Well, 402 00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:26,359 Speaker 1: it's not more pressure on bud Dupree, which you'd like 403 00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:28,639 Speaker 1: for bud Dupree to be a stalwart and hold up, 404 00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:31,399 Speaker 1: you know. And to me, this was something we were 405 00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:33,800 Speaker 1: all looking forward to, was bud Dupree and Harold Landry 406 00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:35,920 Speaker 1: being able to be on the field at the same time, 407 00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:38,480 Speaker 1: because we saw the occurrence that happened last year es 408 00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:40,600 Speaker 1: basically the last month of the season when they were 409 00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:43,640 Speaker 1: both on the field at the same time taking numerous snaps. 410 00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:46,760 Speaker 1: But Bud Bud's got to stay healthy and contribute quite 411 00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:49,440 Speaker 1: a bit. Well, you asked about Richard Weaver, and one 412 00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:52,240 Speaker 1: thing I will say is that last year when he 413 00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:55,560 Speaker 1: was injured, he was still getting a tremendous amount of 414 00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:59,040 Speaker 1: mental work. He was still doing a lot of the 415 00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:02,119 Speaker 1: things wise to try and make sure that he was 416 00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:04,600 Speaker 1: staying up to speed. He told me he didn't want 417 00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:07,240 Speaker 1: to get rusty in that regard because it was his 418 00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:09,440 Speaker 1: first year. He was still a young guy, so he 419 00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:11,800 Speaker 1: wanted to really stay in the playbook and stay up 420 00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:15,080 Speaker 1: to date. So now it's matching the physical with the mental. 421 00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:19,160 Speaker 1: So hopefully you would hope that after having a complete 422 00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:23,040 Speaker 1: off season, with after having a complete training camp as well, 423 00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:26,199 Speaker 1: now in the regular season, his body can catch up 424 00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:28,440 Speaker 1: and maybe there's not as much lag time and he 425 00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:32,080 Speaker 1: can just go coach. With the increased depth that the 426 00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:36,200 Speaker 1: defensive line has, and I mean Laurel Murchison's on the 427 00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:39,560 Speaker 1: practice squad and he had a really good camp, but 428 00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:43,400 Speaker 1: they just couldn't keep everybody. So with that being the case, 429 00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:46,800 Speaker 1: can you take some of those reps at outside linebacker 430 00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:50,480 Speaker 1: and give him to Denico Autry? Well, you could, because 431 00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:53,400 Speaker 1: that was a big thing when we signed him in Indianapolis, 432 00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:56,600 Speaker 1: was his versatility. And so there's going to have to 433 00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:59,240 Speaker 1: be some adjustments made. And as I said, it won't 434 00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:02,119 Speaker 1: just be one player, It'll be a group of players 435 00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:04,760 Speaker 1: that they're going to function over there, and every opponent 436 00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:06,760 Speaker 1: that we play is going to be different, Mike, and 437 00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:09,800 Speaker 1: so you're looking for those matchups all the time, personal 438 00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:12,800 Speaker 1: matchups when you go into ball games, and so depending 439 00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:15,679 Speaker 1: on who we're playing, whoever is playing the left tackle 440 00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:17,880 Speaker 1: or the right tackle at the time and you want 441 00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:20,560 Speaker 1: to match up with, you've got choices to use. But 442 00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:22,360 Speaker 1: that's what you're gonna have to do week to week. 443 00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:25,800 Speaker 1: So let me ask you about the cap situation. The 444 00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:30,240 Speaker 1: Titans do free up some cap room, reportedly with what 445 00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:35,879 Speaker 1: they've done in rearranging Derrick Henry's contract, adding some money 446 00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:39,520 Speaker 1: to this year for him, but what we know is 447 00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:43,119 Speaker 1: they're not just a washing cap day. They can't just 448 00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:45,520 Speaker 1: do whatever they want through the course of the season. 449 00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:50,080 Speaker 1: So knowing that if you're on a roster next week 450 00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:54,320 Speaker 1: and you're a vested veteran, your salary is guaranteed, correct, 451 00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:57,280 Speaker 1: do you think about trying to make it through the 452 00:25:57,400 --> 00:26:01,240 Speaker 1: first game with pretty much what you've got understanding you 453 00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:04,080 Speaker 1: can call guys up from the practice squad and then 454 00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:06,960 Speaker 1: maybe look for a veteran in week two. Well, that's 455 00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:08,960 Speaker 1: exactly why I said when I said, you're going to 456 00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:11,840 Speaker 1: use the guys you've got right now, because that that's 457 00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:15,080 Speaker 1: a big caveat that after the after the first game, 458 00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:18,600 Speaker 1: your veterans, you're you're you owe him weekly. Now you 459 00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:21,440 Speaker 1: don't owe me the entirety of the contracts. So that Mike, 460 00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:23,920 Speaker 1: you dropped a paper, dropping all kinds of stuff. Okay, 461 00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:25,879 Speaker 1: well you can't see it on the OTP, but he 462 00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:28,720 Speaker 1: did drop a paper, and Amy's getting up to try 463 00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:32,080 Speaker 1: to get him. Amy's Amy is getting the paper. This 464 00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:34,920 Speaker 1: is this is this is theater of the mind, but 465 00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:37,719 Speaker 1: it's really happening in real life. The worst play by 466 00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:39,960 Speaker 1: play ever. You should let Mike do that. He does 467 00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:42,520 Speaker 1: think he does that for US Farm Bureau Health plans 468 00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:45,760 Speaker 1: and celebrating seventy five years of providing Tennessee INDs with 469 00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:51,760 Speaker 1: high quality healthcare coverage at an affordable price. Visit FBHP 470 00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:56,600 Speaker 1: dot com to learn about our history in Tennessee. All right, 471 00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:58,359 Speaker 1: so Amy, I'm gonna put you on the spot here, 472 00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:02,200 Speaker 1: which you always love. Great. There's not a game. There's 473 00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:03,800 Speaker 1: not a game, but there is a bit of a 474 00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:09,119 Speaker 1: quiz alight. When the cuts were made on Tuesday at 475 00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:14,200 Speaker 1: three to get down to the initial fifty three? Did 476 00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:22,600 Speaker 1: any cut surprise any cut surprised me? Well, there's the 477 00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:26,399 Speaker 1: obvious one that I think sort of surprised everybody with 478 00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:31,000 Speaker 1: Brett Kern. Um, were you really surprised by that? Well, 479 00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:34,200 Speaker 1: yes and no. Um. On one hand, I had seen 480 00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:38,560 Speaker 1: Ryan stonehouse kick all camp. I knew what he could do. 481 00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:41,600 Speaker 1: I knew what his leg was capable of, and I 482 00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:45,760 Speaker 1: knew kind of the business contractual ramifications of either direction. 483 00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:51,960 Speaker 1: Brett Kurn is just such a staple in Tennessee Titan's lore. 484 00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:58,720 Speaker 1: I mean, Brett Kurrn has been around, and he really 485 00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:01,800 Speaker 1: truly has been someone who has been a part of 486 00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:05,080 Speaker 1: every part of this organization. And I mean for as 487 00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:07,760 Speaker 1: long as I've been there, Brett Kern has always been around. 488 00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:13,400 Speaker 1: So just the feeling of oh, that chapter has ended 489 00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:18,159 Speaker 1: was surprising to me. That's why I answered Brett for me, No, 490 00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:21,480 Speaker 1: I didn't really have a surprise cut. I think it 491 00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:24,480 Speaker 1: was guys that made the roster that were a little 492 00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:27,480 Speaker 1: bit of surprise of that is Trey Avery, the cornerback 493 00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:31,479 Speaker 1: who changed numbers, and also Julius Chestnut, the undrafted young man, 494 00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:34,640 Speaker 1: the running back from Sacred Heart. I think Brett Kern 495 00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:36,679 Speaker 1: we all you know, and I tell you who else 496 00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:39,080 Speaker 1: knew it was coming was Brett Kern because they've been 497 00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:41,560 Speaker 1: very honest with him throughout. But let me echo what 498 00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:44,560 Speaker 1: Amy says. I was on the staff with Jeff Fisher 499 00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:47,840 Speaker 1: when we brought Brett Kern in here when Denver had 500 00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:50,840 Speaker 1: had cut him and released him, and immediately Alan Lowry, 501 00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:52,480 Speaker 1: who was the special team's course, says, we gotta go 502 00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:55,360 Speaker 1: get this guy. And that started his career here and 503 00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:58,920 Speaker 1: he's a pro's pro, one of the best. But Ryan 504 00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:04,600 Speaker 1: Stonehouse is leg different. I mean it's different, it really is. 505 00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:06,880 Speaker 1: And you could tell early on in camp that it 506 00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:08,840 Speaker 1: was different. You know, Rent and I and Amy watched 507 00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:12,160 Speaker 1: practice together a lot, uh and you could tell that 508 00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:14,640 Speaker 1: when he was over there punting you know, on field 509 00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:18,520 Speaker 1: free away from everybody. Rent started timing his hang times 510 00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:21,320 Speaker 1: just because that's what Rent does and he was going 511 00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:24,479 Speaker 1: coach mc and amy, this is a while that's happening 512 00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:26,560 Speaker 1: over there. So Noddy was gonna make it rain because 513 00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:29,560 Speaker 1: he pierced the cloud or something. I mean, so this 514 00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:32,160 Speaker 1: is this is a big leg that I think that 515 00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:34,720 Speaker 1: they can train down, you know. I mean he's got 516 00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:37,160 Speaker 1: the driver now, they just need to train him down 517 00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:41,280 Speaker 1: to the wedge shots. I think for me, the surprise 518 00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:45,880 Speaker 1: was I was not surprised. It really is because when 519 00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:50,280 Speaker 1: I looked at it, I wasn't surprised by I wasn't 520 00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:53,120 Speaker 1: that surprised by Avery because we've been given a hint 521 00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:57,160 Speaker 1: and he had played well. Um. I may have been 522 00:29:57,200 --> 00:30:00,640 Speaker 1: a little surprised by THEO Jackson, but THEO is on 523 00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:03,160 Speaker 1: the practice squad and you get the idea that he's 524 00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:06,600 Speaker 1: going to have a chance to summer and be back. Um, 525 00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:10,520 Speaker 1: he's exactly who the practice squad is made for, just 526 00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:13,280 Speaker 1: to and the other thing that cost him is missing 527 00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:16,600 Speaker 1: a week late in training camp. That hurts those guys, Mike, 528 00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:20,480 Speaker 1: those young guys a lot. Yep, So him being back 529 00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:24,240 Speaker 1: with practice squad I think is a good thing. But yeah, 530 00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:27,280 Speaker 1: and I think you could see when Brett Kern didn't 531 00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:30,720 Speaker 1: punt in the final preseason game, It's like, uh huh, Mike, 532 00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:33,400 Speaker 1: even even not punting was not as big a deal 533 00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:36,880 Speaker 1: as not holding right, not holding for the field goals. Yep, 534 00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:40,400 Speaker 1: so that was so was that too tough? No, it 535 00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:44,360 Speaker 1: wasn't too tough. That was fine. Or there is there more? Well, 536 00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:48,480 Speaker 1: I'll last coach the next part. There's more, and that 537 00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:51,600 Speaker 1: I don't I love the games, Amy, I don't know 538 00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:53,600 Speaker 1: why you don't like the games. You're so you're gonna 539 00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:56,640 Speaker 1: go last in this punch back for you. Who's the 540 00:30:56,760 --> 00:31:00,520 Speaker 1: player that came on the most in training camp, that 541 00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:04,120 Speaker 1: made the roster, that came on the most, Yes, sir, 542 00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:06,080 Speaker 1: The guy that to me that developed him came on 543 00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:08,680 Speaker 1: the most was Racy McMath. Now we know that he's 544 00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:12,160 Speaker 1: injured now, but he continued to improve. But also Nicholas 545 00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:14,400 Speaker 1: Petit Frere. I mean here, you brought in a third 546 00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:16,840 Speaker 1: round pick, you know, at the right tackle, and and 547 00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:19,920 Speaker 1: you had you had a vet a VT because he'd 548 00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:22,440 Speaker 1: been here longer ahead of him. But all of a sudden, 549 00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:24,880 Speaker 1: we week by week you could see Nicholas petit Frere 550 00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:27,840 Speaker 1: moving up the chart, and then he got his chance 551 00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:29,920 Speaker 1: and he held on to it. Now it's a big 552 00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:33,120 Speaker 1: position to hold on to when we start this regular season. 553 00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:35,920 Speaker 1: But to me, he made a big jump from the 554 00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:38,280 Speaker 1: first time he showed up, even from the first time 555 00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:41,520 Speaker 1: we vetted him before the draft, to being being named 556 00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:44,800 Speaker 1: the starting right tackle Rhett all Right. So he took 557 00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:47,920 Speaker 1: a couple there, but there he'd get an amy. I 558 00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:51,040 Speaker 1: don't need to cheat because that's my job, that's her job. 559 00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:53,480 Speaker 1: I'll give you one who made the roster, and I 560 00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:56,600 Speaker 1: think had a nice camp. You know, this guy put 561 00:31:56,680 --> 00:31:59,040 Speaker 1: on the green dot on his helmet for the first 562 00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:02,000 Speaker 1: time in Baltimore. Were got a lot of snaps, especially 563 00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:05,400 Speaker 1: the last preseason game. That's Chance Campbell. Yeah, that's a 564 00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:07,920 Speaker 1: guy I think that obviously improved or he wouldn't be 565 00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:11,600 Speaker 1: here right now. Bobby King, the inside linebackers coach, very 566 00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:14,520 Speaker 1: complimentary of him. But I would look at him as 567 00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:19,600 Speaker 1: one of those I'm not even gonna ask to clarify 568 00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:23,280 Speaker 1: the rules. You're gonna give like six No, I'm not. 569 00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:25,440 Speaker 1: I'm only going to give fun. But I think it 570 00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:28,240 Speaker 1: might not fit the criteria because we have to define 571 00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:31,280 Speaker 1: what came up is You can't say, Derek Aby, can 572 00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:33,120 Speaker 1: I ask you a question that has nothing to do 573 00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:35,600 Speaker 1: with this. When you were growing up at school and 574 00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:38,600 Speaker 1: you had had these tests in class, did you always 575 00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:41,080 Speaker 1: have to qualify what the test was about. No, But 576 00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:44,280 Speaker 1: I knew the test was coming. I could prepare a 577 00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:47,560 Speaker 1: multiple choice you would put down all of the answers. 578 00:32:48,520 --> 00:32:51,080 Speaker 1: I knew a test was coming and could prepare accordingly. 579 00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:55,560 Speaker 1: This is always a blindsided situation. But I'm going to 580 00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:58,800 Speaker 1: say Kyle Phillips because he's a rookie. He came in 581 00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:02,480 Speaker 1: and within a couple of weeks of camp we all 582 00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:05,120 Speaker 1: kind of it's fair because I don't know. I mean, 583 00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:09,000 Speaker 1: fifth round picks aren't. Aren't walks, No, absolutely not. And 584 00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:11,720 Speaker 1: he's a guy that early on in camp, I thought 585 00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:15,280 Speaker 1: this guy could make this team, and sure enough he did. 586 00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:18,640 Speaker 1: And I think that that was impressive. I think that 587 00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:21,400 Speaker 1: he was consistent in what he was able to do 588 00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:24,000 Speaker 1: in practice, he was able to take that to the field, 589 00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:28,479 Speaker 1: and the coaches appeared to be very confident in him 590 00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:32,080 Speaker 1: and what he could do. That's a good one. Amy, 591 00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:35,120 Speaker 1: You've my big surprise is that Amy's given us one 592 00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:39,360 Speaker 1: and now she's soliciting the crowd. Yeah, I would like 593 00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:43,760 Speaker 1: a cheer. I would like I would lie a cheer. 594 00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:46,640 Speaker 1: I would like a cheer. She would like it. You 595 00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:50,160 Speaker 1: can't request a cheer, Sure I can, it's my show. No, 596 00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:55,280 Speaker 1: it needs to happen organically. Wow. Well, I think Kyle 597 00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:58,040 Speaker 1: Phillips is a great one. I think you had the 598 00:33:58,120 --> 00:34:01,160 Speaker 1: best one of the three. No, Coach Mack had too, 599 00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:03,520 Speaker 1: But I think you had the best one. I guess 600 00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:07,120 Speaker 1: we know who's last then, Okay, and so no, I 601 00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:09,479 Speaker 1: didn't say that. No, No, I couldn't read between the line. 602 00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:12,160 Speaker 1: But here's the other thing, too, Coach Mac. Yeah, that 603 00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:15,840 Speaker 1: told the story. The fact that he didn't play a 604 00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:19,759 Speaker 1: receiver that much in preseason. Yeah, it was. They didn't 605 00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:21,680 Speaker 1: need to see a coach that was a lock. And 606 00:34:22,040 --> 00:34:24,560 Speaker 1: once he had that one monster game with returns, he 607 00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:27,480 Speaker 1: wasn't back there anymore. They knew, I think pretty much 608 00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:30,160 Speaker 1: early on they kind of knew what they had from him, 609 00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:33,120 Speaker 1: that what they had vetted in Ucla coming out of 610 00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:35,120 Speaker 1: the draft. We all watched him coming out of the 611 00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:37,440 Speaker 1: draft in Ucla and when they took him, when we 612 00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:40,120 Speaker 1: were doing Titans Radio and Draft Night, we went, Okay, 613 00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:42,880 Speaker 1: this got a chance to be a dude here and 614 00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:46,200 Speaker 1: he proved that. And you're right, they kind of shelved 615 00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:49,160 Speaker 1: him a little bit because they knew what they had. Rhett. 616 00:34:49,680 --> 00:34:52,880 Speaker 1: Is it possible that this is John Robinson's best draft 617 00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:59,320 Speaker 1: class since twenty sixteen. I think time will tell. I 618 00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:01,719 Speaker 1: think it's showing early ear marks that that could be 619 00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:04,680 Speaker 1: the case. But time is going to be the indicator. 620 00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:07,000 Speaker 1: But yeah, I would lean that way. Well, but I mean, 621 00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:10,719 Speaker 1: think about it. Traylan Burkes has come on like crazy. Ye, 622 00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:14,600 Speaker 1: he's gonna be a factor in this offense. Roger mccrary's 623 00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:18,920 Speaker 1: gonna play, Nicholas petite Frere is going to start at 624 00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:23,040 Speaker 1: right tackle. Malik Willis has us all excited about the future. 625 00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:26,439 Speaker 1: The two fourth round picks has signed, Haskins and Chicka 626 00:35:26,520 --> 00:35:30,600 Speaker 1: Coquo are probably gonna be active on game day. Then 627 00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:33,000 Speaker 1: you go to Kyle Phillips in the fifth round. Who's 628 00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:36,520 Speaker 1: gonna play? Chance Campbell made the team at THEO Jackson, 629 00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:40,080 Speaker 1: made the practice squad, and everybody's up on him thinking 630 00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:43,799 Speaker 1: he has a real future. No, No, that's you put 631 00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:46,080 Speaker 1: it out there. Let's go to Chance Campbell just for 632 00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:48,600 Speaker 1: a minute. Okay, he may be a core teams player, 633 00:35:48,719 --> 00:35:52,320 Speaker 1: Mike when we start out that first game. Reddit seems 634 00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:55,520 Speaker 1: like he can run a little bit Chance Campbell. Yes, yes, 635 00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:59,080 Speaker 1: he did in college. And yeah, he's got a little 636 00:35:59,120 --> 00:36:02,840 Speaker 1: bit of wheels that is underrated. Again, I think this 637 00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:05,560 Speaker 1: coaching staff likes what they're seeing from this young man. 638 00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:08,880 Speaker 1: And to Coach Max's point, special teams is where I 639 00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:13,200 Speaker 1: think he can really butter his bread moving forward. You 640 00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:16,239 Speaker 1: like that butter his bread. Well, in my head, I 641 00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:19,279 Speaker 1: was gonna say butter my noodles, which I think is 642 00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:21,480 Speaker 1: just a variation of butter his bread, and it made 643 00:36:21,520 --> 00:36:24,560 Speaker 1: me laugh that that's where my brain went. I'm sorry. Well, 644 00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:28,720 Speaker 1: let's ask Coach Mac the really important question about noodles noo. 645 00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:32,279 Speaker 1: Today in the New York Post, they reported that Tom 646 00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:35,920 Speaker 1: Brady and his wife, Degelle Bunching are in a horrible 647 00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:37,920 Speaker 1: fight about him returning to the NFL. Do you have 648 00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:44,480 Speaker 1: any comment on this? Well, she makes more money than 649 00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:47,120 Speaker 1: he does. He does, and so if it really gets 650 00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:50,200 Speaker 1: down to an argument, she'll win. You know, that's normally 651 00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:53,319 Speaker 1: the way that goes. She will win. I don't think 652 00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:57,719 Speaker 1: I don't know her, but I mean that's the only 653 00:36:57,800 --> 00:37:01,800 Speaker 1: person in America people across the landscape of the National 654 00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:04,759 Speaker 1: Football League. She and I aren't real close. So I 655 00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:07,200 Speaker 1: don't know if that could be true. But if it is, 656 00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:12,040 Speaker 1: I could understand why you said. The New York Times, 657 00:37:12,239 --> 00:37:14,920 Speaker 1: New York Post past page six in the New York Post. 658 00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:18,799 Speaker 1: Oh all right, well, stay tuned to page you've heard 659 00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:23,080 Speaker 1: by Felicia. Bye, Tommy, see you later. I'm sorry. They're fighting. 660 00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:24,759 Speaker 1: So you think that's why he was away for the 661 00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:28,520 Speaker 1: eleven days. You think he was resolving a marital dispute, 662 00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:32,480 Speaker 1: and so he left the training. I had some going on. 663 00:37:35,600 --> 00:37:39,319 Speaker 1: I had some real plank going on. I don't know which. 664 00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:44,359 Speaker 1: We all said, welcome to life. Tokay, Hello Tommy. Yeah, 665 00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:47,040 Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know about that theory. Let 666 00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:49,280 Speaker 1: me just say this. Don't you just stay at camp 667 00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:55,360 Speaker 1: like I'll be in Nashville for a week by amy. No, 668 00:37:56,640 --> 00:37:58,520 Speaker 1: you do just what he did, and he's gonna come 669 00:37:58,560 --> 00:38:01,719 Speaker 1: back and play just fine, And he's gonna come That's 670 00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:04,879 Speaker 1: the end of the story. He was ranked number one 671 00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:09,319 Speaker 1: on the NFL's Top one hundred at forty five years old. 672 00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:12,400 Speaker 1: He was voted the number one player in the NFL 673 00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:14,799 Speaker 1: let me ask you this, how good do you think 674 00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:19,240 Speaker 1: Tampa Bay is if he doesn't play? If he doesn't played, 675 00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:21,879 Speaker 1: if he doesn't play, they win five games. That's why 676 00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:25,680 Speaker 1: he's number one, exactly because they're their team. I think 677 00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:28,560 Speaker 1: they have a nice club, but I don't think they 678 00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:31,560 Speaker 1: score enough points to get over the hump against some 679 00:38:31,719 --> 00:38:33,320 Speaker 1: of the teams that they have to play on a 680 00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:39,400 Speaker 1: regular He is the tipping point. Speaking of quarterbacks, Amy, 681 00:38:39,680 --> 00:38:42,840 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I'm going to sect to our quarterback, Ryan Tannehill. 682 00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:49,799 Speaker 1: Have you been great? Have you been as taken as 683 00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:53,120 Speaker 1: people have been who've come in from the outside and 684 00:38:53,320 --> 00:38:57,720 Speaker 1: have seen him, well, I have noticed what others have noticed, 685 00:38:57,920 --> 00:38:59,880 Speaker 1: if that is a good way to put it. But 686 00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:05,080 Speaker 1: I'm not surprised by it because I'm a big Ryan 687 00:39:05,160 --> 00:39:09,600 Speaker 1: Tannehill fan. I have been very impressed with his consistency 688 00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:12,160 Speaker 1: over the years. I've been impressed with the numbers that 689 00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:16,000 Speaker 1: he's put up. I think sometimes he gets piled up 690 00:39:16,080 --> 00:39:19,800 Speaker 1: on when he doesn't necessarily deserve it. And so to 691 00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:24,760 Speaker 1: see him coming and having a training camp that looks 692 00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:28,240 Speaker 1: like a Ryan Tannehill training camp, where he's so sharp 693 00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:31,480 Speaker 1: and he's so confident. He knows this offense. He knows 694 00:39:31,560 --> 00:39:33,800 Speaker 1: the coaches, he knows the guys that he's working with. 695 00:39:34,160 --> 00:39:37,719 Speaker 1: He's very comfortable in this system, and so I have 696 00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:41,080 Speaker 1: noticed that he's got a little extra confidence in swag maybe, 697 00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:44,719 Speaker 1: but I'm not surprised by it because I think Ryan 698 00:39:44,760 --> 00:39:48,440 Speaker 1: Tannehill is a really good quarterback, and I wish more 699 00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:51,680 Speaker 1: people would talk about that just during the season. All 700 00:39:51,719 --> 00:39:53,279 Speaker 1: we gotta do is look at what he's done since 701 00:39:53,320 --> 00:39:55,960 Speaker 1: he took over in the third quarter at Denver thirty 702 00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:58,600 Speaker 1: and thirteen to the playoffs. It's hard to do in 703 00:39:58,640 --> 00:40:00,560 Speaker 1: this league. And let me just say this about the 704 00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:03,920 Speaker 1: outside noise that you talk about, which is obviously there. 705 00:40:04,160 --> 00:40:06,960 Speaker 1: Those people don't know whether the football's pumped or stuffed, 706 00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:10,879 Speaker 1: So you can't really worry about that at all. Don't 707 00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:13,839 Speaker 1: worry about that at all. He did. He came back, though, 708 00:40:14,040 --> 00:40:17,240 Speaker 1: and he came back and recalibrated, because that last playoff 709 00:40:17,320 --> 00:40:19,920 Speaker 1: game was a scar for all of us and especially him. 710 00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:22,560 Speaker 1: But he came back and recalibrated, and so he had 711 00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:25,120 Speaker 1: a tremendous training camp. And you can look at Malik 712 00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:29,280 Speaker 1: Willis's development and contribute some of that to Ryan Tannehill 713 00:40:29,320 --> 00:40:31,200 Speaker 1: and what he did for him as soon as he 714 00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:34,560 Speaker 1: showed up together. I think, coach, you say recalibrated, and 715 00:40:34,640 --> 00:40:36,319 Speaker 1: I think that's a way to put it red. I think, 716 00:40:36,440 --> 00:40:39,120 Speaker 1: just to take it in a little different direction. It 717 00:40:39,560 --> 00:40:43,640 Speaker 1: felt like he was more locked in from moment one, 718 00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:47,920 Speaker 1: whereas most thirty four year old quarterbacks aren't at the 719 00:40:48,040 --> 00:40:51,160 Speaker 1: start of training camp because they know it's a long season. 720 00:40:51,320 --> 00:40:53,920 Speaker 1: I got plenty of time. It was as if he 721 00:40:54,120 --> 00:40:57,759 Speaker 1: had something to prove the moment he arrived on July 722 00:40:57,920 --> 00:41:00,759 Speaker 1: twenty second. No, that's one hundred percent right, dialed in 723 00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:03,120 Speaker 1: as how I would or locked in as how I 724 00:41:03,120 --> 00:41:07,200 Speaker 1: would describe him. And look, he's he's I've seen him 725 00:41:07,200 --> 00:41:10,440 Speaker 1: in jovial moments and you know, conversing with his teammates 726 00:41:10,480 --> 00:41:13,399 Speaker 1: and you know, enjoying that camaraderie. But when it's time 727 00:41:13,440 --> 00:41:16,359 Speaker 1: to line up, he goes after it. And yeah, he's 728 00:41:16,440 --> 00:41:19,320 Speaker 1: dialed in. Listen. I'm excited about that part of it. 729 00:41:19,840 --> 00:41:23,759 Speaker 1: And I'm more excited that he has Derek Henry Rider 730 00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:26,759 Speaker 1: to roll in the backfield, Austin Hooper at tight end, 731 00:41:26,880 --> 00:41:30,520 Speaker 1: Chicko con Quo at tight end, Robert Woods trailing Burkes. 732 00:41:30,680 --> 00:41:36,120 Speaker 1: He's got some weapons here. Would you like to ditto ditto. Yeah, 733 00:41:36,120 --> 00:41:38,399 Speaker 1: you're just going ditto there. You're gonna want to talk. 734 00:41:38,440 --> 00:41:40,600 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Oh no, but that's okay. I can talk. 735 00:41:40,680 --> 00:41:42,640 Speaker 1: He does have a lot of weapons there. He's got 736 00:41:42,680 --> 00:41:45,120 Speaker 1: a lot of guys on that offensive side of the 737 00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:47,279 Speaker 1: ball that he's going to be able to do a 738 00:41:47,360 --> 00:41:49,200 Speaker 1: lot of things with. And if there's one thing we 739 00:41:49,280 --> 00:41:52,080 Speaker 1: know about Ryan Tannehill is that he likes to utilize 740 00:41:52,280 --> 00:41:55,919 Speaker 1: every tool in his tool kit. So to be able 741 00:41:56,000 --> 00:42:00,440 Speaker 1: to give him more people to work with, more shits, 742 00:42:00,480 --> 00:42:03,560 Speaker 1: I guess um, I think that's great. I think it's 743 00:42:03,560 --> 00:42:05,680 Speaker 1: gonna be fun to watch him play. He's done nothing 744 00:42:05,760 --> 00:42:10,920 Speaker 1: this training camp but provide legitimate veteran leadership, legitimate veteran 745 00:42:11,040 --> 00:42:14,480 Speaker 1: leadership on the field and also off the field. I 746 00:42:14,600 --> 00:42:16,759 Speaker 1: mean you can just see it. There's this and there's 747 00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:19,759 Speaker 1: there's also a sense of confidence about him that you 748 00:42:19,840 --> 00:42:22,080 Speaker 1: can you can tell. But as I said, he needed 749 00:42:22,120 --> 00:42:24,879 Speaker 1: to reset and he reset. So MAC, when you say 750 00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:28,560 Speaker 1: that is does that provide a somewhat of a stabilizing 751 00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:32,560 Speaker 1: force as to why camp really didn't have any terrible 752 00:42:32,680 --> 00:42:35,720 Speaker 1: terrible day, Like we described camp as kind of boring 753 00:42:35,880 --> 00:42:39,440 Speaker 1: because it's been business as usual. Does that kind of 754 00:42:39,480 --> 00:42:42,640 Speaker 1: help stabilize that when you're your guy the field general's 755 00:42:42,719 --> 00:42:44,399 Speaker 1: doing that well. I mean, you gotta have your vest 756 00:42:44,440 --> 00:42:47,640 Speaker 1: that Kevin Byer does it. Vin Kevin Bayer does it too, 757 00:42:47,760 --> 00:42:50,000 Speaker 1: you know, and that's that's a that's a big thing. 758 00:42:50,080 --> 00:42:52,640 Speaker 1: You got to have somebody that is that is really 759 00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:55,440 Speaker 1: the lever that you pull on both sides of the 760 00:42:55,520 --> 00:42:57,920 Speaker 1: ball to be able to do that. And it you know, 761 00:42:58,040 --> 00:43:00,799 Speaker 1: as from a coaching aspect of it, it wasn't boring 762 00:43:00,840 --> 00:43:04,600 Speaker 1: at all because things were moving along very efficiently. They 763 00:43:04,680 --> 00:43:08,759 Speaker 1: had very few wasted segments of practice this year, you know, 764 00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:12,120 Speaker 1: for either not being able to manipulate and be able 765 00:43:12,160 --> 00:43:14,839 Speaker 1: to do what they wanted to do, or they didn't 766 00:43:14,840 --> 00:43:18,239 Speaker 1: have many starts and restarts because sometimes in training camp, 767 00:43:18,280 --> 00:43:19,680 Speaker 1: you guys have been to a lot of them too, 768 00:43:20,040 --> 00:43:22,440 Speaker 1: as to where it's not going so well, and the coaches, 769 00:43:22,480 --> 00:43:24,680 Speaker 1: since we've got to start this over, you didn't have 770 00:43:24,800 --> 00:43:28,000 Speaker 1: any restarts this year. Let's talk about what's to come. 771 00:43:28,239 --> 00:43:32,600 Speaker 1: This weekend, everybody associated with the team gets a little 772 00:43:32,680 --> 00:43:36,720 Speaker 1: time off, a little break, last sort of go around, 773 00:43:36,800 --> 00:43:39,160 Speaker 1: you get and tell the bye. The bye does come 774 00:43:39,239 --> 00:43:43,000 Speaker 1: reasonably early for the Titans, but still important to catch 775 00:43:43,080 --> 00:43:46,320 Speaker 1: your breath after camp, get your legs back. On Monday, 776 00:43:46,600 --> 00:43:50,800 Speaker 1: the team is back together for a practice that's mostly 777 00:43:50,920 --> 00:43:54,200 Speaker 1: about you, or do you start working on the opponent 778 00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:57,200 Speaker 1: with that Labor Day practice. They've already been working on 779 00:43:57,280 --> 00:44:00,680 Speaker 1: the opponent. Okay, they've they've had opponent or you know, 780 00:44:00,920 --> 00:44:05,640 Speaker 1: really probably midway through getting getting ready for the few 781 00:44:05,760 --> 00:44:08,440 Speaker 1: number of players they played in that last preseason game 782 00:44:08,440 --> 00:44:11,200 Speaker 1: against the Cardinals. They've already had this group broken down. 783 00:44:11,440 --> 00:44:13,399 Speaker 1: And you've brought this up quite a few times, Mike, 784 00:44:13,440 --> 00:44:16,040 Speaker 1: and it's a relevant point. The people we open with, 785 00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:18,200 Speaker 1: they've got a brand new head coach. It's going to 786 00:44:18,280 --> 00:44:20,800 Speaker 1: call the offense. They've got a brand new defensive coordinator, 787 00:44:20,800 --> 00:44:23,920 Speaker 1: Wink Martindale that came from Baltimore. So you've got NFL 788 00:44:24,040 --> 00:44:26,080 Speaker 1: film on them, but you don't quite know what they're 789 00:44:26,120 --> 00:44:28,600 Speaker 1: going to do with their personnel, and so you're gonna 790 00:44:28,640 --> 00:44:32,040 Speaker 1: have to dig deep, Amy Wells and I've already started 791 00:44:32,080 --> 00:44:35,160 Speaker 1: looking at their preseason games and then start looking at 792 00:44:35,200 --> 00:44:38,719 Speaker 1: Buffalo film and start looking at Baltimore film. And that's 793 00:44:38,760 --> 00:44:41,160 Speaker 1: what the coaches have been doing for quite a while now, 794 00:44:41,239 --> 00:44:43,560 Speaker 1: and especially the people they have breaking it down. So 795 00:44:43,840 --> 00:44:46,480 Speaker 1: it's a very interesting week to get ready. Do they 796 00:44:46,560 --> 00:44:49,840 Speaker 1: even go back and look at University of Alabama tape 797 00:44:49,960 --> 00:44:53,120 Speaker 1: based on his time in Tesco Brian day Bows time 798 00:44:53,160 --> 00:44:56,320 Speaker 1: in Tescaloose, I think they've got enough NFL film, you know, 799 00:44:56,400 --> 00:44:59,840 Speaker 1: to look at. And that's if I were doing it, 800 00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:01,680 Speaker 1: that's what I would do. I wouldn't. I wouldn't pay 801 00:45:01,840 --> 00:45:04,919 Speaker 1: much attention to the Alabama stuff other than this mike 802 00:45:05,320 --> 00:45:07,120 Speaker 1: and when you start looking at it, and we're gonna 803 00:45:07,160 --> 00:45:09,680 Speaker 1: we're gonna have to get ready for this quarterback Daniel 804 00:45:09,760 --> 00:45:12,600 Speaker 1: Jones on some cold runs because he called runs for 805 00:45:12,880 --> 00:45:16,320 Speaker 1: Gis Allen, he called runs, not just off schedule runs. 806 00:45:16,440 --> 00:45:17,920 Speaker 1: We're gonna have to get ready for some of that, 807 00:45:18,239 --> 00:45:20,560 Speaker 1: which makes you play a plus one on defense. They're 808 00:45:20,600 --> 00:45:22,239 Speaker 1: gonna have to What does that mean? Well, I means 809 00:45:22,239 --> 00:45:24,400 Speaker 1: you got to drop a safety down because if the 810 00:45:24,520 --> 00:45:27,320 Speaker 1: quarterback is a runner, just like if the quarterback you 811 00:45:27,360 --> 00:45:29,600 Speaker 1: know is under center, he's an eligible receiver. If he 812 00:45:29,640 --> 00:45:31,319 Speaker 1: wants to come out of the back end, you got 813 00:45:31,400 --> 00:45:34,759 Speaker 1: to have somebody added to him. Your numbers add up. 814 00:45:34,840 --> 00:45:37,800 Speaker 1: If your quarterback's not a planned runner. If your quarterback's 815 00:45:37,800 --> 00:45:40,320 Speaker 1: a planned runner. You got a plus one some defender 816 00:45:40,400 --> 00:45:43,239 Speaker 1: down there, all right. So on Monday night, even though 817 00:45:43,280 --> 00:45:45,560 Speaker 1: it's Labor Day, we will have the Mike Vrabel Show, 818 00:45:45,680 --> 00:45:49,320 Speaker 1: presented by Farm Bureau Health Plans six to seven Central 819 00:45:49,440 --> 00:45:52,360 Speaker 1: on Titans Radio.

I mean, 834 00:46:40,719 --> 00:46:43,160 Speaker 1: Rhet does. Rhet does enough preparation that we could do 835 00:46:43,239 --> 00:46:45,880 Speaker 1: a two hour show, you know, without any calls. But 836 00:46:46,040 --> 00:46:48,600 Speaker 1: he and I both we love for callers to call 837 00:46:48,680 --> 00:46:51,520 Speaker 1: in because we'll answer anything. I mean, well, I'll answer 838 00:46:51,560 --> 00:46:53,759 Speaker 1: any question, you know, whether things are going good or 839 00:46:53,800 --> 00:46:55,800 Speaker 1: whether things are going not so good. I just like 840 00:46:55,960 --> 00:46:58,239 Speaker 1: talking to the fans. Our coach for thirty one years 841 00:46:58,280 --> 00:47:00,560 Speaker 1: in this league. You don't get to interact with fans 842 00:47:00,640 --> 00:47:02,600 Speaker 1: when you're coaching because you've got a lot of stuff 843 00:47:02,640 --> 00:47:05,640 Speaker 1: going on. Coach back, you're interacting with the fans in Memphis. No, 844 00:47:05,800 --> 00:47:07,520 Speaker 1: that's why I say, now I get to do this. 845 00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:11,000 Speaker 1: Now that I'm with Titans Radio, I can interact all 846 00:47:11,080 --> 00:47:14,160 Speaker 1: I want. So let's go. So what did I just do? Rat? 847 00:47:15,120 --> 00:47:18,400 Speaker 1: Cheap pop? Cheap pop? Is what cheap? Because I shouted 848 00:47:18,440 --> 00:47:22,800 Speaker 1: out to Memphis, of course, thank you, thank you. You 849 00:47:22,960 --> 00:47:26,440 Speaker 1: guys are great. This is a good crowd. Their seasoned 850 00:47:26,560 --> 00:47:30,399 Speaker 1: veterans the season know what we're looking for. They read 851 00:47:30,480 --> 00:47:33,000 Speaker 1: the hand out when they came in. Thank you so much. 852 00:47:33,320 --> 00:47:34,840 Speaker 1: All right, So how about to nine on one. I 853 00:47:34,920 --> 00:47:37,680 Speaker 1: know this is not a vision. We got we got 854 00:47:37,800 --> 00:47:41,360 Speaker 1: nine on one Memphis Titans jersey over there. That's solid. 855 00:47:41,520 --> 00:47:46,080 Speaker 1: That's that's next level. Move right this next level? Yeah, 856 00:47:46,840 --> 00:47:50,600 Speaker 1: all right, so then let's talk about Wednesday they get 857 00:47:50,719 --> 00:47:55,800 Speaker 1: back to practice. Did they present the game plan on Wednesday, 858 00:47:55,880 --> 00:47:59,840 Speaker 1: September seventh like they normally do on away? Absolutely? Okay, absolutely, 859 00:48:00,280 --> 00:48:02,319 Speaker 1: I will say this give you a little behind the curtain. Look, 860 00:48:03,160 --> 00:48:07,080 Speaker 1: quarterbacks always get their game plan earlier, and then Kevin 861 00:48:07,160 --> 00:48:10,200 Speaker 1: Byard may get a peek it hit too. Also, you 862 00:48:10,280 --> 00:48:12,520 Speaker 1: know a little bit earlier, but the coaches don't have 863 00:48:12,640 --> 00:48:15,120 Speaker 1: it formulated yet. You don't have the entire game plan 864 00:48:15,280 --> 00:48:17,919 Speaker 1: ready on Wednesday. You got first and second down ready 865 00:48:17,960 --> 00:48:20,480 Speaker 1: on Wednesday. That's what you have ready on Wednesday. Then 866 00:48:20,560 --> 00:48:22,680 Speaker 1: you go to third down and read zone on Thursday. 867 00:48:22,920 --> 00:48:24,680 Speaker 1: Then you go to move the field on Friday. So 868 00:48:25,000 --> 00:48:27,719 Speaker 1: you don't have the entire game plan. Every night after 869 00:48:27,840 --> 00:48:30,760 Speaker 1: practice the coaches go in and get the next days ready. 870 00:48:32,600 --> 00:48:35,600 Speaker 1: Some would wonder, why don't you hand the game plan 871 00:48:35,719 --> 00:48:39,319 Speaker 1: out tomorrow based on the fact that you know who 872 00:48:39,360 --> 00:48:42,320 Speaker 1: you're playing, You don't have another game. Why would you 873 00:48:42,440 --> 00:48:45,160 Speaker 1: not spend eight days on it? Explain why you would 874 00:48:45,200 --> 00:48:48,040 Speaker 1: not do that? Well, you don't. First of all, coaches 875 00:48:48,120 --> 00:48:51,919 Speaker 1: have much more information than the players would ever need. 876 00:48:52,560 --> 00:48:54,759 Speaker 1: The thing that you want to do, and when you 877 00:48:54,880 --> 00:48:57,399 Speaker 1: present the game plan. Finally, you want to have worked 878 00:48:57,440 --> 00:49:00,600 Speaker 1: through things and give them relevant things to look. You 879 00:49:00,680 --> 00:49:02,719 Speaker 1: don't want to say, you know, watch a pass, watch 880 00:49:02,760 --> 00:49:04,360 Speaker 1: a run, watch it up the middle, watch it on 881 00:49:04,400 --> 00:49:06,759 Speaker 1: the outside, watch it on the inside, watch it over 882 00:49:06,840 --> 00:49:09,879 Speaker 1: the top. You don't do that. You want the filter. 883 00:49:10,920 --> 00:49:13,400 Speaker 1: You gotta filter it. Put it. Yeah, you've got to 884 00:49:13,440 --> 00:49:15,759 Speaker 1: filter it. The coaches have to filter it, and you 885 00:49:15,880 --> 00:49:17,680 Speaker 1: have to direct them where they want to look and 886 00:49:17,760 --> 00:49:19,520 Speaker 1: what they want to look at. And you need to 887 00:49:19,560 --> 00:49:22,200 Speaker 1: do that piece by piece. And also, Mike, there comes 888 00:49:22,200 --> 00:49:24,040 Speaker 1: a time when you're looking at it, you might practice 889 00:49:24,080 --> 00:49:26,600 Speaker 1: some things that don't look so good, So you've got 890 00:49:26,680 --> 00:49:30,080 Speaker 1: times to rework that thing during the week. Aby I 891 00:49:30,160 --> 00:49:32,560 Speaker 1: think it's a really good point that he makes. Because 892 00:49:32,960 --> 00:49:36,239 Speaker 1: you can overdo the prep, you can overload. You can 893 00:49:36,320 --> 00:49:40,160 Speaker 1: have guys not reacting as much because they're thinking too much. 894 00:49:40,320 --> 00:49:43,160 Speaker 1: It's still football, absolutely. The last thing you want to 895 00:49:43,239 --> 00:49:45,719 Speaker 1: do is have everybody on the field thinking too much. 896 00:49:45,920 --> 00:49:49,160 Speaker 1: You want them playing and you want them playing fast. Mac, 897 00:49:49,200 --> 00:49:53,360 Speaker 1: what is it you saying? Slow? Coach defense For a 898 00:49:53,440 --> 00:49:55,400 Speaker 1: lot of years in this league, and the first thing 899 00:49:55,440 --> 00:49:57,920 Speaker 1: I would always tell my players when game plans came 900 00:49:57,960 --> 00:50:03,160 Speaker 1: out is a correct decision on defense. Everybody with me. 901 00:50:03,440 --> 00:50:07,319 Speaker 1: A slow correct decision on defense is wrong because you're 902 00:50:07,360 --> 00:50:10,040 Speaker 1: behind the play already. So you've got to get it 903 00:50:10,120 --> 00:50:13,040 Speaker 1: as to where they know what they're looking at on defense. Guys, 904 00:50:13,120 --> 00:50:15,480 Speaker 1: it's always eyes before feet. Next time you do a 905 00:50:15,520 --> 00:50:18,080 Speaker 1: football clinic, you can tell them that it's always eyes 906 00:50:18,160 --> 00:50:20,600 Speaker 1: before feet, know what you're looking at, and then go 907 00:50:21,160 --> 00:50:23,680 Speaker 1: walk into work and say that tomorrow here in Memphis. 908 00:50:24,360 --> 00:50:27,879 Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, just go and work. I said before feet. Look, look, 909 00:50:28,120 --> 00:50:32,200 Speaker 1: I need a raise because I'm I'm working eyes before feet. People, 910 00:50:32,280 --> 00:50:35,680 Speaker 1: they'll give you a raise. You'll get what what are 911 00:50:35,680 --> 00:50:40,360 Speaker 1: you talking about? Eyes before feet? Except after seed? What 912 00:50:40,520 --> 00:50:43,440 Speaker 1: you said? Okay, Thursday's a practice day. Then you get 913 00:50:43,480 --> 00:50:45,960 Speaker 1: to Friday, they wrap it all up. The great thing 914 00:50:46,040 --> 00:50:47,839 Speaker 1: we want to make sure you know is Titans All 915 00:50:47,920 --> 00:50:52,359 Speaker 1: Access is back for season twenty. Yes on Friday. Very good. 916 00:50:52,520 --> 00:50:56,239 Speaker 1: And the best part is Amy Wells is back, him back. 917 00:50:56,560 --> 00:50:58,680 Speaker 1: Are you're back?

There's a lot of stuff in there. One 920 00:51:03,280 --> 00:51:05,719 Speaker 1: of my favorite things that we're doing is was it 921 00:51:05,840 --> 00:51:08,400 Speaker 1: the game ticket, the game ticket. We tell you everything 922 00:51:08,480 --> 00:51:11,040 Speaker 1: you need to know about the upcoming game. Everything, it's 923 00:51:11,040 --> 00:51:14,640 Speaker 1: all in there.
