Speaker 1: Plans With Amy Wells, I'm Mike Keith and our special

6
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:37,120
Speaker 1: guest for part two, Coach Brian Callan. Hey, thanks for

7
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:41,040
Speaker 1: sticking around or coming back or however we're trying to

8
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:47,680
Speaker 1: sell this hanging. We're continuing the conversation with the coach.

9
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:50,720
Speaker 1: Let me ask you first and foremost, what does Brian

10
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:54,840
Speaker 1: Callahan do for fun during this four or five week period.

11
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 2: Generally, in most years, I'll play a little bit of golf.

12
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 2: I'm not very good at it, but it's my one

13
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 2: one hobby I have that I enjoy playing. I haven't

14
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 2: played any golf this year, obviously, I've been a little busy.

15
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:08,840
Speaker 3: Yeah.

16
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 2: And then my in laws for the last they've had

17
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 2: a house up in Lake Georgia, New York for about

18
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 2: twenty plus years, and so every summer since I've met

19
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 2: my wife, we spend some time up there. So I'm

20
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 2: a big pull the boat on the lake and be

21
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:26,400
Speaker 2: on the lake and not do much of anything.

22
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 3: Is that one of the finger lakes?

23
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 2: No, it's actually it's just south of Lake Champlain, So

24
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:34,039
Speaker 2: it's Vermont, New York board. Okay, so right up just

25
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:36,480
Speaker 2: straight north of Albany, about forty five minutes and we've

26
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 2: learned something. Yeah, at the OTP, Well, it's a beautiful place.

27
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:43,039
Speaker 2: It gets up in Adirondack, so it's it's you know,

28
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:45,760
Speaker 2: it's kind of hilly and it's really pretty.

29
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 4: Oh it sounds just fantastic. How in the world do

30
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 4: you turn your brain off of all of this stuff?

31
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 4: Think about all the details that are just living in

32
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 4: your head right now?

33
00:01:54,480 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 3: You don't, you know, you do try to get either

34
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 3: from it.

35
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 2: But I would just say there's it's sort of a

36
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:08,079
Speaker 2: constant thing when as I'm learning, when you're in in

37
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 2: in the head coaching role, is you're always thinking about something.

38
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 2: It might be as simple as you know, the schedule

39
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:18,079
Speaker 2: for an off day in training camp, it might be

40
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 2: the roster thought, but you're always there's always something going on.

41
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 2: What how do I want to message this part of training?

42
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:28,640
Speaker 2: You know, all those things are sort of always churning.

43
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:32,519
Speaker 2: So yeah, I don't think it ever really shuts off.

44
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,800
Speaker 2: It's probably the best way to put it. There's no

45
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:39,360
Speaker 2: real break. My mind is always moving, but I would

46
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 2: say there is. You know, this time of year particularly,

47
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 2: you get a chance to at least step back and

48
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:46,920
Speaker 2: maybe focus on some things that you know, like your family.

49
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, at the point, so we met your

50
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:57,080
Speaker 1: family when you came in after you'd accepted the job. Nora, yep,

51
00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:00,919
Speaker 1: and she's nine, be turning nine in July, so nine.

52
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 1: And then Ronan, who we really met. I mean, he's

53
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:08,640
Speaker 1: you think he's rolling man. You think he owns the

54
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 1: place well, and he think I think he did so.

55
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:17,800
Speaker 1: From January to now, roughly six months, how has he

56
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 1: reacted to dad being the head coach full time? What

57
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:23,360
Speaker 1: new developments have gone on with him?

58
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 2: You know, I think that not much. I don't think

59
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:31,799
Speaker 2: they really they get it. I think that they love

60
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,359
Speaker 2: coming to the office. That's their favorite thing to do

61
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 2: for whatever reason. That's just that's like all they want

62
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:39,119
Speaker 2: to do is come here. I'm like, guys, I don't

63
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 2: really want to go there right now, but they just

64
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 2: they they think it's like the coolest thing in the world.

65
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 2: And that's how I grew up too, is playing around

66
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 2: in football facilities, forever, So that part's fun. I think

67
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 2: they don't really get it though. I don't think they

68
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 2: really understand. Probably until the season starts, I think they'll

69
00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 2: they'll have a better picture for what that looks like.

70
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 2: But and they think they're more just excited and they

71
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 2: just want to come color on the whiteboards and run

72
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 2: around the building. That's great, that's their that's their that's

73
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 2: their main goal.

74
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 1: We're going to work with dad, regardless of what dad does.

75
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 1: It's cool, it's cool. Yeah, it's a great thing.

76
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a cool thing to do. Well, speaking of dads,

77
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 4: now that you work with your father. When when you

78
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 4: have kids, especially when you have free time, there's a

79
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:28,840
Speaker 4: lot of going to visit the grandparents, especially during off times.

80
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 4: And for the longest time, you and your dad kind

81
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 4: of had competing schedules and they lined up perfectly, and

82
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:35,479
Speaker 4: so this was the time that you had to go

83
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:38,039
Speaker 4: see each other. Do you have to vacation with your

84
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:40,479
Speaker 4: parents anymore? Or is the show kind of over?

85
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 2: In that funny thing is actually all my my brothers

86
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 2: and sisters are all coming here, which is great because

87
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 2: we normally we would take like a week vacation as

88
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 2: a family. Someone we'd meet somewhere in the summertime, and

89
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 2: so it's convenient because they all have to come to

90
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:53,839
Speaker 2: Nashville for a couple for a couple of days. But

91
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 2: I don't know what that's going to look like in

92
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 2: the you know future. You're like, I will say this

93
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:01,840
Speaker 2: other for all the day, like we're together all the time,

94
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 2: and for all the time we spend together, there's definitely

95
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:07,720
Speaker 2: I might go two or three days without even like

96
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:10,840
Speaker 2: seeing my dad, if that makes like just in but

97
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:13,600
Speaker 2: we're all we're kind of all working, and so there's

98
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:18,040
Speaker 2: it's not like I'm you know, constantly with him all

99
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:21,040
Speaker 2: the time, and so there's like all of a sudden yesterday,

100
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:22,360
Speaker 2: I think it had been like three days since I

101
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:24,280
Speaker 2: sat down and talked to him, and I just went

102
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 2: and sat in his office and I was, you know,

103
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:28,360
Speaker 2: it's like, go talk to my dad, not not go

104
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 2: and talk to coach, you know. And so it's I

105
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 2: don't think it's it's really hard to articulate, I think,

106
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:40,920
Speaker 2: but there is still like a work relationship, and then

107
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 2: there's you know, father son, grandparents, and so future wise,

108
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 2: I'm sure we'll still do something. But my kids are

109
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:53,480
Speaker 2: the ones that are way more excited about it because

110
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:55,720
Speaker 2: Grandma and Grandpa right down the street and huge for

111
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:58,039
Speaker 2: my daughter and my daughter and my my mom and

112
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 2: my daughter have like a really kind of cool relationship,

113
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 2: and so she's fired up.

114
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:03,159
Speaker 3: She can't wait too.

115
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:06,680
Speaker 2: Oh that's the ten minutes from Grandma's house, like fired up.

116
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 3: Yeah.

117
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:13,279
Speaker 1: A lot of cookies, Yeah, yes, a lot of cookies,

118
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:16,279
Speaker 1: A lot of fun, a lot of fun. So in

119
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:20,039
Speaker 1: watching your dad at practice, I think the thing that

120
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 1: I enjoy most is how all the coaches and former

121
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 1: coaches who come to practice have to go watch your

122
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:28,239
Speaker 1: dad work.

123
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:29,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's.

124
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 1: That's the first thing they have to do. I mean,

125
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,000
Speaker 1: they don't want to watch the quarterbacks and the receivers

126
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,480
Speaker 1: and the defensive backs. They'll get to them. They're excited,

127
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:42,040
Speaker 1: but they have to go watch Bill Callahan coach. Not

128
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 1: necessarily watching the offensive line per se. They have to

129
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:48,240
Speaker 1: watch him coach. What a compliment.

130
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 2: I think it's pretty incredible. He's earned that, right, you know,

131
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 2: over the years, and he's he's garnered a lot of

132
00:06:56,360 --> 00:07:01,599
Speaker 2: respect in the coaching community people eliz them as strange

133
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:05,360
Speaker 2: as that sounds to me, but but he's he's deserving

134
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:07,279
Speaker 2: of it. I mean, he's he's he's one of the

135
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:09,040
Speaker 2: there's there's guys that get to certain points in their

136
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 2: careers and and we've always I've always defined him as

137
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 2: sort of like master coaches, and all these guys that

138
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 2: that are are so good at what they do and

139
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 2: and done it for so long at such a high level,

140
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 2: they become almost it's like a legendary, legendary almost in

141
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 2: a sense. And and more so just because everyone watches

142
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 2: and they just have so much respect for for what

143
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 2: he's done in his career. And so all these guys

144
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 2: come in and visit and come seeing former coaches, they

145
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 2: just want to go watch them coach because he's he's

146
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 2: got such a reputation as that as a coach that's

147
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 2: worth watching, you know. And I think that's an incredible

148
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 2: compliment that guys in our profession feel that way about

149
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 2: him and look up to him that way, that that's

150
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 2: the that's what they want to go see, is they

151
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 2: want to go see him coach. And it's a huge compliment.

152
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 2: It's pretty cool.

153
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 1: So when the huge family comes into town, are you

154
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 1: going down to like Broadway to the honky tonks?

155
00:07:56,800 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 3: Are you Broadway Broadway? You don't know. No, I'm sure

156
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 3: my younger sister and I don't know if I'll be out.

157
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 3: Would you get recognized yet? A little bit? Okay, so

158
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 3: that not a lot.

159
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:17,840
Speaker 2: I still can run, you know, relative I'm relatively anonymous.

160
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 2: Maybe I'm I'm like anonymous looking too. I don't know

161
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 2: if it's I don't know if I'm like it's not.

162
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 2: I've not had it.

163
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 3: We haven't done your TV show yet, I'm not. I'm

164
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 3: not like real forward yet.

165
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, we haven't played a game on television yet, which

166
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:33,960
Speaker 2: is which is good. I'm enjoying that part. It's not

167
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 2: crazy people. I feel people look at me. It's like

168
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:41,200
Speaker 2: they like recognized. I'm not sure where like why so

169
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:44,680
Speaker 2: I feel I feel like I feel vision sometimes like

170
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 2: it's really it's a very new thing for me and

171
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 2: it's sometimes very awkward. But I feel people looking at me,

172
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:52,760
Speaker 2: but they don't say anything, and it's almost I'd almost

173
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:54,600
Speaker 2: rather someone like say something because they think.

174
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:57,320
Speaker 1: Here, here's what they're thinking. They're thinking now, is he

175
00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 1: our new pastor?

176
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 3: Is that the weather goud channel whatever? Seen him look

177
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 3: like somebody on the plane with me the other day.

178
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:11,080
Speaker 3: That's what it is. That's what it feels like is.

179
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:15,080
Speaker 1: But the best thing about being here is that people

180
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:17,080
Speaker 1: will come up to you in the grocery store and

181
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 1: they'll just say, I just want to want to let

182
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:20,120
Speaker 1: you know I'm behind you.

183
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:21,719
Speaker 2: You know what I've had. I've had a few of those,

184
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 2: and that's part's really cool. I mean, the welcome, the

185
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:28,760
Speaker 2: respect people show has been pretty phenomenal. Every everything that

186
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:31,200
Speaker 2: I would have I've heard about, you know that the

187
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 2: Southern hospitality and the and the friendliness and the kindness,

188
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 2: all those things have have shown up in most of

189
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 2: the interactions I've had.

190
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 3: And you know, and people don't.

191
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:44,920
Speaker 2: People have been very respectful, very complimentary, and they sort

192
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:46,440
Speaker 2: of say alone, kind of keep it moving. And I

193
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 2: think that's that's pretty cool. They're kind yeah, and polite. Yeah,

194
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:53,640
Speaker 2: I would say all those things are true. The random

195
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 2: one the other day, I was I went to a

196
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 2: coffee shop over by my house and I walked in

197
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 2: and Taylor the Long in there, and you recognize him

198
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:05,560
Speaker 2: because he stands out Yeah, And I and I had

199
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 2: just done their their their podcast a couple of weeks back,

200
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 2: and I just said, hey, Taylor, what's up man, And

201
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:13,439
Speaker 2: like nobody else, he took him a second to recognize

202
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 2: me to you know, he's like, oh, hey, hey, hey, uh,

203
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:20,960
Speaker 2: but you know, the place was pretty crowded and nobody

204
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:23,439
Speaker 2: else really setting, you know, so I was like, Oh,

205
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:25,600
Speaker 2: he's like, you're just kind of moving around town, huh,

206
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:28,559
Speaker 2: pretty anonymously. I was like, I guess. And so that's

207
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 2: that's kind of what my experience has been so far.

208
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 2: I haven't had a whole lot of interaction that's you know, uncomfortable.

209
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 4: Have you actually been able to do things in town?

210
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 4: Have you seen any of Nashville outside of Ascension, Saint

211
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:42,960
Speaker 4: Thomas Sports?

212
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:44,800
Speaker 2: I have not a lot, but I have some. I've

213
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:46,600
Speaker 2: been out of camp full of times, a couple of restaurants.

214
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 2: I mean, the food here is fantastic. Everywhere I've been

215
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:54,200
Speaker 2: has been an excellent meal. A little bit of that

216
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 2: I've I've been.

217
00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 3: I want to.

218
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:58,680
Speaker 2: Haven't been a couple of Preds games, of I want to.

219
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 2: I still looking forward to going to the baseball stadium

220
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 2: watching some baseball, which is kind of one of the

221
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 2: summer pastime go watch some baseball. But it's a really

222
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:10,560
Speaker 2: good park, that's what I've heard. I've heard it's a

223
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 2: really good park. And then I've been. I've been to.

224
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:16,320
Speaker 2: We've been up to the twelve thirty Club a few

225
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 2: times because Rand had gone there.

226
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:18,200
Speaker 3: Ran.

227
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:20,680
Speaker 2: That's kind of RAN's spot. He was at a bunch

228
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 2: and so I've been there a few times. I have

229
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:25,680
Speaker 2: not really like dove down into the Broadway honky tonk

230
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 2: scene much.

231
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,959
Speaker 3: You've got to do a concert at the Ryman. That's

232
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 3: on the list. You've got to do the list. I've

233
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 3: heard that. And you've got to go to the Grand

234
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 3: Ole Opera. Yeah, I mean it is.

235
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 1: It is so special that it has the history and

236
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:41,960
Speaker 1: tradition and when you're there, you're like, I am so

237
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:42,800
Speaker 1: glad I'm here.

238
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, you get it. When you're there, you feel it.

239
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:47,920
Speaker 2: That's is it kind of like I feel like the

240
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:50,880
Speaker 2: Ryman and that and the Grand Opera like Red Rocks,

241
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 2: and it's like Red Rocks is a place so you

242
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:55,600
Speaker 2: just you just need to go experience. Doesn't matter who's playing, right,

243
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:57,719
Speaker 2: you just got to go experience it. And it's it's

244
00:11:58,000 --> 00:11:59,960
Speaker 2: it's just that it's an experience. It's one of the

245
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:02,200
Speaker 2: I feel like those are the same type of place

246
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 2: as that you got to check them off the list

247
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:09,120
Speaker 2: exactly to the Station Inn then at the Goulds, which

248
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 2: is like this old yeah, old, like it's a bluegrass place, okay,

249
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 2: And it was one of the coolest. I mean it was.

250
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:18,600
Speaker 2: We just ramly walked in there one night and really

251
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 2: a good band was playing, and my wife's a big

252
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 2: bluegrass fan, and we sat there for like two hours. Yes,

253
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:25,040
Speaker 2: so I kind of sat off in the corner just

254
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 2: watch these these guys play blue grass.

255
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:27,880
Speaker 3: Was phenomenal.

256
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 4: It was, and you can do that anyway.

257
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:32,320
Speaker 1: But you know what, that's my biggest disappointment with myself

258
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 1: is every time I go hear live music, I think,

259
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:36,680
Speaker 1: why don't I do this more?

260
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:39,480
Speaker 4: H It's one of my favorite things about this city.

261
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:41,199
Speaker 2: I think I'm gonna I mean, I think I'm gonna

262
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:43,200
Speaker 2: do quite a bit of it because I love I

263
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:45,720
Speaker 2: love watching music, So I mean I'm all in on

264
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:46,080
Speaker 2: the music.

265
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:47,560
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I love it.

266
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 1: We're all in on seat Geek. Seat Geek is now

267
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:53,720
Speaker 1: the official ticketing partner of the Tennessee Titans.

Speaker 3: That's what I'm supposed to do that it's called sick.

269
00:12:57,080 --> 00:13:00,880
Speaker 1: It was a good one, whether you're bid to not really,

270
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:03,760
Speaker 1: whether you're buying or selling tickets to Titans games or

271
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 1: any live event in Nashville. Like live music, Seat Geek

273
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:11,960
Speaker 1: official ticketing partner of the Tennessee Titans.

274
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 3: So Titans fans, let me ask you.

275
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:18,320
Speaker 1: Too about how you're going to play the preseason. How

276
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:22,959
Speaker 1: do you in your coaching philosophy from an evaluation standpoint,

277
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 1: see preseason games.

278
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:28,360
Speaker 2: Preseason is important. I think I've learned some lessons over

279
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 2: the years. We you know, we kind of adopted that

280
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:33,199
Speaker 2: La Rams mentality when when we got to Cincinnati where

281
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:35,679
Speaker 2: we didn't play our starters at all, we had some

282
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:37,440
Speaker 2: injuries with with Burrow.

283
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 3: Last year.

284
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:42,280
Speaker 2: We were going to play our starters more because we've

285
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:44,520
Speaker 2: we had been a kind of slow starting team out

286
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:46,320
Speaker 2: of the gate, and that was one of the things

287
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 2: we felt like might help us as playing in the

288
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:51,280
Speaker 2: preseason more. And obviously we weren't going to put our

289
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 2: guys out there in Cincinnati without Joe with them. It

290
00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:59,560
Speaker 2: just didn't make sense. So I believe in those guys

291
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 2: playing time in the preseason. I think it helps. It

292
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:04,560
Speaker 2: helps you get ready for the opener. So the opener

293
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 2: is not the first time you've been tackled or the

294
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:10,000
Speaker 2: first time you hit a game speed, and even the

295
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 2: preseason game speeds that's the same as the regular season.

296
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:17,079
Speaker 2: It's still playing live football, and I think starters playing

297
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 2: a little bit in those games I think is going

298
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 2: to go a long way. The joint practices will be

299
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:23,440
Speaker 2: important where we get a ton of work against a

300
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:26,080
Speaker 2: team in a more controlled environment, but you'll see our

301
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 2: starters play in the preseason.

302
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:30,680
Speaker 4: With that mindset, how quickly do you want to establish

303
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:33,080
Speaker 4: kind of who those fifty three are going to be?

304
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:37,360
Speaker 2: You know, every year your roster, you probably know who

305
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 2: let's call it forty something. You know, you got a

306
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:44,440
Speaker 2: pretty good idea, but then there's a handful of battles

307
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 2: at some spots, some of the depth spots, some of

308
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:51,080
Speaker 2: the special team spots that are are truly up for

309
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:54,720
Speaker 2: grabs that somebody could take. And so you've got a

310
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 2: pretty good idea of what you're going to look like

311
00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:59,640
Speaker 2: around most of your starting positions. But then it's just

312
00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:02,240
Speaker 2: a matter of what is the those those last couple

313
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:04,160
Speaker 2: of pieces of the roster that people are fighting for.

314
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:08,880
Speaker 2: But you certainly want to have a you know, when

315
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 2: you're having competition up front, for example, offensive line, you'd

316
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:13,440
Speaker 2: like to get that solidified sooner than later, because you

317
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:16,920
Speaker 2: want those guys to bank reps and play together. So

318
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 2: that's when you talk about that. Certainly, you'd love to

319
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:23,880
Speaker 2: have your five starters pretty solidified sooner than later. But

320
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 2: I think a lot of our battles are going to

321
00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 2: go probably well to the wire and training camp. I mean,

322
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:29,120
Speaker 2: there's going to be a lot of opportunity for guys

323
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:31,760
Speaker 2: to compete and have a chance start to earn themselves

324
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 2: a job.

325
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:34,760
Speaker 1: You mentioned the five starters on the offensive line. Do

326
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:37,960
Speaker 1: you feel the same way about the twenty two starters

327
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:42,080
Speaker 1: overall getting them established as quickly as possible.

328
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, you hope.

329
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:45,400
Speaker 2: So there's also the other part of it is that

330
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:47,800
Speaker 2: you hope that you know there's there's guys that are

331
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:51,200
Speaker 2: still even though their starters, are still preparing and fighting

332
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:53,720
Speaker 2: like they have a job that's up for crabs because

333
00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:56,480
Speaker 2: that competition makes your team better. And so you hope

334
00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:58,920
Speaker 2: that there's enough competition across the board for spots that

335
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:02,960
Speaker 2: I'm really pis those guys to not be complacent either,

336
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 2: to know that you know, the minute you show up

337
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:07,320
Speaker 2: here and you think you got it all, you know, usually.

338
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:09,240
Speaker 3: You get beat out by somebody.

339
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:12,520
Speaker 2: But the competition is good, and so I hope that

340
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 2: you want to play guys together, but you also want

341
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 2: the same mentality of guys that are trying to earn

342
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:20,720
Speaker 2: them selves spots, even if their spot is solidified, you know,

343
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:24,400
Speaker 2: by contractual status or how much they've played. But I

344
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:26,560
Speaker 2: hope that we get a bunch of really good competition.

345
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:28,600
Speaker 1: At fifty three guys on the active roster. When you

346
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 1: go to Chicago, you'll certainly have the ability to call

347
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:35,000
Speaker 1: up people from the practice squad. But I wonder this

348
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:38,480
Speaker 1: being a first time head coach, do you already have

349
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:42,840
Speaker 1: in your mind how the game day forty eight will

350
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 1: fit together, or do you have to wait and see

351
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:49,720
Speaker 1: how the roster is set before you can make your

352
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:50,640
Speaker 1: mind up about that.

353
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 2: I have an outline of what I think it'll look like,

354
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:57,440
Speaker 2: and then there's going to be those weekly decisions that

355
00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:00,040
Speaker 2: come up. A lot of it's going to be in

356
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:02,800
Speaker 2: in the special team's realm. Where who's going to contribute there,

357
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:06,000
Speaker 2: and what's their value on the roster as the third

358
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:08,480
Speaker 2: running back or the fourth and fifth receivers or you know,

359
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:12,679
Speaker 2: where where are those guys playing roles? And that to

360
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 2: me is usually where that gymnastics comes into play before

361
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:19,119
Speaker 2: you get to the injury part, which hopefully there's not

362
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:22,159
Speaker 2: too many of those. Will knock Hoover playing wherever you

363
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:24,920
Speaker 2: can knock, Yeah, you should have been around.

364
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:26,959
Speaker 4: Here the last three years, well knock anything.

365
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:32,040
Speaker 2: And so that hopefully is you know, when you get

366
00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 2: to that point where you're you're juggling injuries and rosters,

367
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:38,720
Speaker 2: that that part will kind of solve itself. But the

368
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:41,439
Speaker 2: special teams part is really where the unknowns are at

369
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:43,159
Speaker 2: this point and then where those guys are going to

370
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:44,000
Speaker 2: fit in what roles?

371
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:44,879
Speaker 3: Uh?

372
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:46,679
Speaker 2: And then do you take You got to take some

373
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:49,520
Speaker 2: guys that maybe are really good Special Tams players but

374
00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:52,280
Speaker 2: maybe not going to help you on either in any position,

375
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:55,639
Speaker 2: but their their role as a four phase best teams

376
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:57,640
Speaker 2: player is going to be critical, and so you may

377
00:17:57,640 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 2: have to take that guy over a guy you think

378
00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:02,320
Speaker 2: is you know, on game day, you might have to

379
00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:04,119
Speaker 2: sit one guy down that's not going to help you

380
00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 2: as much because they're only going to play seven to

381
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:08,480
Speaker 2: ten snaps when those other guy's going to play you know,

382
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:10,920
Speaker 2: twenty special team snaps for you too. So it kind

383
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:12,760
Speaker 2: of goes there's a lot of juggling when it gets

384
00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:13,000
Speaker 2: to that.

385
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:16,600
Speaker 4: Well, you mentioned the special teams component, and there have

386
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:19,119
Speaker 4: been some changes to what special teams is going to

387
00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:21,919
Speaker 4: look like in twenty twenty four in a variety of

388
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:25,440
Speaker 4: different ways. How does that impact the calculus of what

389
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:28,320
Speaker 4: you are trying to put together and maybe who you

390
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:29,440
Speaker 4: choose to put where.

391
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:32,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you know, the kickoff obviously is going

392
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:34,520
Speaker 2: to be a huge change. I don't know what that's

393
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:36,040
Speaker 2: going to look like yet, you know, I think we

394
00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:38,760
Speaker 2: have to get pads on and play and experiment. I

395
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:41,680
Speaker 2: think the preseason will be fun to watch and see

396
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:44,280
Speaker 2: what people do. They won't show you everything, but I

397
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:46,240
Speaker 2: do think as we get more comfortable with what that

398
00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:49,560
Speaker 2: kickoff rule looks like, you can start making maybe some

399
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:52,080
Speaker 2: personnel changes. I know Cole has messed with some lineups,

400
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:54,959
Speaker 2: but you know, the types of guys you might use

401
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:56,640
Speaker 2: in that spot might be different now than they used

402
00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:59,600
Speaker 2: to so hard to know for sure, but I think

403
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 2: we're kind of open to the possibility that may change

404
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 2: how you can figure some of your roster because those

405
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:06,240
Speaker 2: spots are different now than maybe they used to be

406
00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:09,880
Speaker 2: on the kickoff and kickoff return, so that part will

407
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:12,680
Speaker 2: be exciting. I'm not a you know, I'm an offensive

408
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:14,920
Speaker 2: guy in the quarterback guy, so I spent most of

409
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 2: my time there and the special teams never really intrigued

410
00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 2: me much. But the new kickoff, to me, is intriguing.

411
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:24,360
Speaker 2: That PARTI really fun to kind of see what that's

412
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:24,959
Speaker 2: going to look like.

413
00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:27,919
Speaker 1: Well, who are your returners? Do you go with a small,

414
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,639
Speaker 1: quick guy or a bigger guy who can break a tackle,

415
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:34,840
Speaker 1: and go who needs to be on the kick cover team?

416
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:37,399
Speaker 1: Who needs to be on the return team because you

417
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:40,440
Speaker 1: actually have a real chance to block somebody now, which

418
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:43,240
Speaker 1: as before it was very hard to get a real

419
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:46,719
Speaker 1: block on somebody. And then the discussion of who the

420
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:51,200
Speaker 1: kicker needs to be based on the fact that, as

421
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:57,040
Speaker 1: they played this out in the UFL and overall, the

422
00:19:57,080 --> 00:20:00,879
Speaker 1: actual kicker had to make a lot of tackles, a

423
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:04,520
Speaker 1: lot more than than normal. And some teams are even

424
00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:09,400
Speaker 1: talking about using a safety who has had kickoff experience,

425
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:11,800
Speaker 1: maybe in high school, as the kicker.

426
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:13,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know. I'm not sure we have one

427
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:17,359
Speaker 2: of those. I'm not sure we have a guy that

428
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:19,479
Speaker 2: can kick and cover, I know, but there is some

429
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:24,520
Speaker 2: guys out there that head I think their especially coordinator

430
00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:26,920
Speaker 2: might have came out and and even said they've practiced

431
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:29,920
Speaker 2: with him in that role because you gain an advantage.

432
00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:33,760
Speaker 2: You know, you gain an extra tuckler, and the kicking

433
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:36,879
Speaker 2: is a little bit less about the distance now and

434
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:38,600
Speaker 2: so you don't have to have one's got a big leg.

435
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:40,280
Speaker 2: You can just as long as they can get the

436
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:42,200
Speaker 2: ball in the air and put in the landing zone.

437
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:45,120
Speaker 2: You've now gained an extra cover player. So I would

438
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:47,200
Speaker 2: venture to guess there's a handful of teams that will

439
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:50,919
Speaker 2: do that. And maybe that's you know, now all the

440
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:53,960
Speaker 2: scouts are on the road this fall looking at safety kickers,

441
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:56,800
Speaker 2: you know, you know guys, that's guys got some flex,

442
00:20:56,880 --> 00:21:02,600
Speaker 2: some roster value the full Yeah, but I don't think

443
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 2: it's that far fetched. I think if you if you

444
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 2: found one that could kick it well enough, it's certainly

445
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:11,080
Speaker 2: an advantage. And I think the teams are gonna that

446
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:12,600
Speaker 2: have one of a guy that could do that, well,

447
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:17,320
Speaker 2: that'll work out, you know, to a small advantage for them. Brian,

448
00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:19,600
Speaker 2: how much of that do you think you'll learn about

449
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:23,280
Speaker 2: in the preseason? Will anybody show much?

450
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:26,119
Speaker 3: No? Okay, no, I don't think they'll just kick it. No.

451
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:27,560
Speaker 2: I think they're going to show I think people want

452
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:31,120
Speaker 2: to see I think the the general concessus that I've

453
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:32,919
Speaker 2: gathered is that most teams want to see it be

454
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:35,680
Speaker 2: played out and and in in its most basic form

455
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:37,200
Speaker 2: in the preseason. There's not going to be a bunch

456
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:39,159
Speaker 2: of scheme, but I think just to see what it

457
00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 2: looks like live, because you're not practicing that live at

458
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:46,000
Speaker 2: any point during practice. I think that it'll be fun

459
00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 2: for the joint practices to see that against the opponent.

460
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:52,240
Speaker 2: But I don't know what that's gonna I think I

461
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:54,400
Speaker 2: think you'll see a lot of returns. I don't think

462
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:57,199
Speaker 2: you'll see the the schematics that some of the you know,

463
00:21:57,240 --> 00:21:59,199
Speaker 2: whatever the wrinkles people are going to have. I think

464
00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:01,159
Speaker 2: you'll see a lot of just kick and cover so

465
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:03,760
Speaker 2: people can just watch it play out and see what

466
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:04,480
Speaker 2: it's going to look like.

467
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:07,040
Speaker 3: The pundits who love the geekery like I.

468
00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:11,840
Speaker 1: Do, the geeky, I mean, I mean it's a I

469
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:16,320
Speaker 1: mean it truly is, because I think in listening to them,

470
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:18,520
Speaker 1: they may be right that early in the season we're

471
00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:21,159
Speaker 1: going to see a lot of returns, and as people

472
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:25,320
Speaker 1: start to see the returns become the first offensive play

473
00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:28,920
Speaker 1: of the game, for real that by mid season people

474
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:30,639
Speaker 1: just be kicking in the end zone and giving you

475
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:31,160
Speaker 1: the ball.

476
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:32,920
Speaker 3: At the thirty. I think there's going to be.

477
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:37,560
Speaker 2: A risk reward, and I think there's gonna be teams

478
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:40,679
Speaker 2: that maybe become really good at it, and you become

479
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:43,720
Speaker 2: concerned about that and say, well, we're better off. The

480
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:46,080
Speaker 2: chance of them getting to the forty five or the

481
00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:48,959
Speaker 2: fifty on the kickoff is pretty good because there they

482
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:51,640
Speaker 2: got a dynamic returner, or they have a their scheme

483
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:54,280
Speaker 2: is really good. Whatever that may be, you're gonna see

484
00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:57,720
Speaker 2: a lot more. I would venture to guess teams that

485
00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:00,520
Speaker 2: maybe not feel as confident in what what they have

486
00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 2: versus what the other team has. And you may just

487
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:04,520
Speaker 2: say this, they're going to conceive the ball at thirty

488
00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:06,960
Speaker 2: and just kicking an end zone. That wouldn't surprise me

489
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:09,359
Speaker 2: at all. Can I ask one more kicking question?

490
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:10,680
Speaker 3: Amy? Oh? Please?

491
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:12,840
Speaker 4: Okaya kicking here?

492
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:18,360
Speaker 1: So Folk is back and he's almost forty the young

493
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:21,480
Speaker 1: man from NC State and Harvissen is here and he

494
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:23,879
Speaker 1: appears to have quite a leg. Is that going to

495
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:26,520
Speaker 1: be something we need to watch when preseason starts in

496
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:27,119
Speaker 1: a few weeks.

497
00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:28,760
Speaker 3: No, I don't.

498
00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:31,600
Speaker 2: I don't think Nick's at any any real risk of

499
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:34,240
Speaker 2: losing his job. I think that it's good to have

500
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:37,159
Speaker 2: two kickers in camp, and I think obviously Nick has

501
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:38,959
Speaker 2: kicked for a long time, and so you are in

502
00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:42,760
Speaker 2: for us as organizationally, you always want to have the

503
00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:46,359
Speaker 2: succession planning in place for guys that that have played

504
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:49,120
Speaker 2: as long as as Nick has and and Morgan Cox

505
00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:51,359
Speaker 2: two is they you know, these guys have They're very

506
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:53,400
Speaker 2: established and they've been great players for a long time

507
00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:55,960
Speaker 2: at their jobs, and you always want to have a

508
00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:58,639
Speaker 2: in the back of your mind, Okay, well, what what

509
00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:00,880
Speaker 2: happens next year of Nick DESI this is it for him?

510
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:02,439
Speaker 2: Or if you you know what I mean. That's you

511
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:05,600
Speaker 2: always have to plan for that. And so having and kickers,

512
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:09,199
Speaker 2: I've generally felt like young kickers need, you know, the

513
00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:11,720
Speaker 2: exception of a handful, they need time, they need to

514
00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:14,119
Speaker 2: learn how to kick. In the NFL, a lot of guys,

515
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:16,080
Speaker 2: you know, you see these guys kicking camps for two

516
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:18,479
Speaker 2: three years and they finally getting the opportunity. So you're

517
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:21,879
Speaker 2: sort of always having that almost training ground for the

518
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:24,000
Speaker 2: next guy. So I think that's going to be a

519
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:27,760
Speaker 2: part of having two kickers in camp too.

520
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:31,480
Speaker 1: Coach Brian Callahan, enjoy the rest of your offseason. Thank

521
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:34,000
