Speaker 1: hot seat, so we have that excited Yes, glad to

9
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:47,040
Speaker 1: have you here. We couldn't put the jar on the

10
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:51,199
Speaker 1: table because it was too distracting, I'm told, so we

11
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 1: just have the Snickers right in front of us. It

12
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 1: is large and it's full of snicks.

13
00:00:56,800 --> 00:01:00,160
Speaker 2: It was like in an old mercantile store candy with

14
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 2: hard candy, you know those kinds of things, poorhound candy.

15
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 1: That's good stuff. Thank you for being here. Getting ready

16
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 1: to go to Tampa. Two straight weeks in Florida still

17
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 1: forecast for like nearly ninety degrees on Sunday.

18
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:17,480
Speaker 2: Record tying or setting highs. The last one I saw

19
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:21,119
Speaker 2: was partly sunny and eighty eight with about a twenty

20
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:23,759
Speaker 2: five percent chance of showers and even for Tampa that's

21
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:26,120
Speaker 2: really warm for early they said, record setting. I'm like

22
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 2: that got my attention.

23
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:31,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, anything you do for that if you're Mike

24
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:33,680
Speaker 1: Rabel and the staff, because you haven't been in that

25
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:35,400
Speaker 1: kind of heat in some time.

26
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 3: They start hydrating, they've been start you know, little extra

27
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:43,040
Speaker 3: hydration all week leading up into that, and then you

28
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:45,399
Speaker 3: can't simulate the heat when you're when you're out here

29
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 3: in practice, So the hydration is the biggest thing. And

30
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 3: then I'm sure that they will have a little extra

31
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 3: load of IVY packs.

32
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 1: Okay. I want to talk to you about the quarterback

33
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 1: change from a head coach's perspective, Dave McGinnis, because you

34
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 1: have sat in that chair before, as Mike Vrabel went

35
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 1: to consider making a change, taking his thirty five year

36
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 1: old veteran Ryan Tannehill and moving him to number two,

37
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:12,640
Speaker 1: and going ahead and moving Will Levis to number one,

38
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:16,399
Speaker 1: sitting in that chair, what are all the things you consider?

39
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:19,640
Speaker 3: Well, first of all, you involve your decision makers, You

40
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,800
Speaker 3: involved the offensive coordinator, you involve your general manager, and

41
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 3: you get everybody's thought process on it. But he himself

42
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 3: had an idea of what he wanted to do beginning with,

43
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:32,520
Speaker 3: but you want to be sure to cover all bases,

44
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:36,520
Speaker 3: and he was thinking about not only right now, because

45
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 3: Ryan Tannehill is not completely healthy right now anyway, and

46
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:43,680
Speaker 3: Will Levis has already started two football games, but thinking

47
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 3: beyond that as to when Ryan Tannehill is healthy, thinking

48
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 3: about also the development of Will Levis, because he wasn't

49
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 3: going to develop.

50
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 4: His development wasn't going to accelerate.

51
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:58,919
Speaker 3: Any Continuing to play on the practice squad or on

52
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:02,399
Speaker 3: the show team wasn't going to doesn't happen now he's

53
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 3: got two full games, and so he made the decision.

54
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 3: Anytime you're a head coach, the only decisions you make,

55
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:09,360
Speaker 3: Mike are the ones you feel like are best for

56
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 3: your football team in the present and going forward.

57
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:15,640
Speaker 1: What had Mike Vrabels seen in the two starts that

58
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 1: convinced him that those of us on the outside wouldn't know,

59
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 1: We wouldn't consider.

60
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:23,119
Speaker 3: The way the way he operated the offense. It wasn't

61
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 3: too big for him, we commented. When we were doing

62
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 3: the ball games. He was making checks at the line

63
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:32,239
Speaker 3: of scrimmage, and he was in two pretty good environments,

64
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 3: one at home and also one away in Pittsburgh. As

65
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 3: to where the crowd was a factor. The crowd was

66
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 3: a factor and also the moment, But the moment was

67
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 3: not too big for him just operating the game. There

68
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 3: are going to be things fundamentally he's going to have

69
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 3: to clean up as he continues his progress throughout.

70
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 4: The rest of this season.

71
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 3: But he made some throws that he shouldn't make. He

72
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 3: made some throws they weren't intercepted. I'm talking about against Pittsburgh,

73
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 3: especially against cover two middlefield, open split safeties where the

74
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 3: corners carry them. They don't do that in college football.

75
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 3: They carry the rail here if nothing is in front

76
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 3: of him. And so he's learning. He's learning, but the

77
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 3: experience of running the football team in a live game

78
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 3: not too big for him.

79
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 1: Sometimes on the TV show on Tuesday nights, the Mike

80
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:19,040
Speaker 1: Verybowl TV Show, he doesn't always like the questions I

81
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 1: ask him. He's not elated. You can tell by how

82
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 1: he answers.

83
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 4: Sometimes he'll never be mad at you much.

84
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 1: Well, I don't know that he was mad, But I

85
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 1: asked him the question about competitive advantage and making this announcement,

86
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:34,279
Speaker 1: and maybe I didn't put it the right way. There's

87
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 1: probably strong possibility. I didn't put it the right way,

88
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:39,720
Speaker 1: but he started his press conference on Tuesday making the

89
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 1: announcement that will Evis is the quarterback. At other times,

90
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:46,480
Speaker 1: in other places, we have seen coaches not make announcements.

91
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 1: When Jeff Fisher promoted Vince Young to the starter's role

92
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:51,719
Speaker 1: before the Dallas game in two thousand and six, he

93
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 1: did not say a word. He made clear he wanted

94
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:58,919
Speaker 1: it kept a secret. Technology wise, seventeen years ago is

95
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,680
Speaker 1: like a century ago. I get that part of it.

96
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 1: But from Mike's perspective, you, having been a head coach,

97
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:08,840
Speaker 1: why do you think it was important that even if

98
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 1: competitive advantage by not saying maybe could have helped, why

99
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:15,920
Speaker 1: was it important to go ahead and put it out

100
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:17,600
Speaker 1: there for everybody that will Levis.

101
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:19,240
Speaker 3: Is the quarterball first of all, for your locker room,

102
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 3: and so that you get it out there so you

103
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 3: know exactly where you're headed, and the team likes to

104
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 3: know too.

105
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 4: They like to know, so you do that.

106
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:32,719
Speaker 3: Also, Mike will Levis already has two games on tape.

107
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 3: He's got two games on tape, so the competitive advantage really,

108
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 3: the only time a competitive advantage wouldn't be there is

109
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 3: if he hadn't played yet, so if he's already got

110
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 3: two games on tape, so that is minuscule at best.

111
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 1: So dumb question.

112
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:48,600
Speaker 4: No, what a dumb question. I'm just giving you a

113
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 4: good answer.

114
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 1: You're giving me a better answer that it was a question.

115
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:55,360
Speaker 1: Doubtedly you've been in the locker room this week, your

116
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:58,279
Speaker 1: sense of the reaction to the news that Will Levis

117
00:05:58,360 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 1: is the quarterback for the Titans.

118
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 2: And it's been healthy to max point. There's an energy

119
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 2: there that they're feeding off of. Just take a big example,

120
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,839
Speaker 2: Kyle Phillips seven catches for ninety two yards in his

121
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 2: last two games, had a couple of explosive plays catches

122
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:18,839
Speaker 2: of twenty yards plus and back to back plays on

123
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:22,920
Speaker 2: one drive in Pittsburgh, and that's kind of reinvigorated and

124
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 2: re jump started his process in this and they're like,

125
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:29,160
Speaker 2: that's the guy that we saw them draft from UCLA

126
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 2: in the fifth round and now he's starting to you know,

127
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 2: so the trust that's building between not only the receivers

128
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:38,040
Speaker 2: on offense and the offensive line of this, but when

129
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 2: you see the reactions from a Jeffrey Simmons and an

130
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:43,800
Speaker 2: ardent Key on the sidelines in the Atlanta game, a

131
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 2: little while back, I told you, I told you look

132
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 2: at that guy, that's Will Levis. That's the stuff that

133
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:52,600
Speaker 2: is starting to bloom and blossom. And not that they

134
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:56,359
Speaker 2: were derailed or anything. It's just there's new oxygen in

135
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:56,800
Speaker 2: this thing.

136
00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 1: So that's what the locker room expected to happen.

137
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:03,480
Speaker 3: But they like to hear it from the head coach, right,

138
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 3: they like to hear it. I mean, can you can

139
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 3: make all the assumptions that you want in the locker room,

140
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 3: but when the head coach comes out and makes a

141
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 3: definitive statement, then here you go. Then all that other

142
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 3: stuff is behind you and you're moving forward.

143
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 1: So all of the speculation, and you've been working with

144
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 1: the media and with media companies now for seven years,

145
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 1: so you understand the other side of the street. Now

146
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 1: from your thirty one years as a coach in the league.

147
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 1: You understand people are going to talk about the quarterback situation. Well, sure,

148
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 1: I mean you could sit and say, well, it's only

149
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 1: one of twenty two positions. No, it's it's quarter quarterback. Sure.

150
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:41,760
Speaker 1: And while everybody involved knows it's the quarterback thing and

151
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 1: that it's different, the media and the fan base and

152
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 1: everybody else is going to naturally talk about it because

153
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:53,320
Speaker 1: they're so interested in it. By doing this, he's just

154
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 1: taken all of the speculation out of this, which makes

155
00:07:57,560 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 1: it easier for everybody involved.

156
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 4: Absolutely, it does.

157
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 3: I mean, and really, if you were listening, which I

158
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 3: know you do, and I know Rhett does, and I

159
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 3: know the ot people probably listen, he told us the

160
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 3: week before what he was going to do, just by

161
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 3: just how he couched it, how he said.

162
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 1: It, you know.

163
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 3: And I'm sitting there listening to it as a former

164
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:20,040
Speaker 3: head coach, going okay, But he did it the right way,

165
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 3: and he did it the right way. As far as

166
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 3: we go back to the beginning of this conversation involving

167
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 3: the decision makers and then letting the principles know first

168
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 3: he talked. He talked to the quarterbacks first. He talked

169
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:36,200
Speaker 3: to them first. Yeah, and then go to a team

170
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 3: meeting and not any long expos talking to him. Here's

171
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:42,720
Speaker 3: my decision, here's what we're doing. Let's go to work

172
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 3: on Tampa.

173
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 1: Is that a hard decision for a head coach to

174
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:49,680
Speaker 1: make in terms of knowing all these steps have to

175
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 1: be considered and checked off when you make this.

176
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 3: Change, not if you're being honest, not if you've always

177
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:57,320
Speaker 3: been which he has always been honest with his locker room.

178
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:00,600
Speaker 3: I mean, being a former player and a very successful

179
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 3: former player, he knows the value of honesty coming from

180
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 3: the head coach. So you're honest with your locker room

181
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,840
Speaker 3: that any of these decisions, they may not be easy

182
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:13,679
Speaker 3: and everybody may not agree with it, but as long

183
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:16,319
Speaker 3: as you're honest with it in your approach, they accept it.

184
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:22,200
Speaker 1: I felt like players ret were very careful to make

185
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 1: sure they that they were as positive as they could

186
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 1: be about Ryan Tannehill because they have so much respect

187
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:28,720
Speaker 1: for him.

188
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:32,200
Speaker 2: Well sure, and some of those because a roster turnover,

189
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 2: have only been around Ryan Tannehill.

190
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 1: In the last six months.

191
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 2: But for those who've been here longer than that, one

192
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:40,520
Speaker 2: hundred percent, because Ryan Tannehill was brought in here in

193
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 2: a similar situation. He was the backup to Marcus Mariota

194
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:46,200
Speaker 2: in Week seven or whatever it was in Denver. He

195
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:49,560
Speaker 2: comes in in the third quarter and things start to

196
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:51,720
Speaker 2: take off from it. The man won thirty nine games

197
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 2: as a starting quarterback in the NFL.

198
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 1: You can't ignore that.

199
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 2: So yeah, given credence to that as what he did

200
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 2: as a contributor to this and putting wins in the column. Yeah, absolutely,

201
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:06,200
Speaker 2: I would think they would be careful because there's there's

202
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:08,960
Speaker 2: a respect level there and this is not easy news

203
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:11,959
Speaker 2: for Ryan Tannehill at all, but the professional manner in

204
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 2: which he's handled it so far, and to hear Will

205
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 2: Levis say, hey, he's taking me kind of under his wing.

206
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 2: I mean the whole thing with what practice on Tuesday

207
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:23,319
Speaker 2: when they started with the ones out there, he said, hey, guy,

208
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 2: this is your well and that was your.

209
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 1: Moment just even just running the drills because I was

210
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:31,080
Speaker 1: watching just the individual drills when they came out and

211
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:35,360
Speaker 1: did it. And Levis has deferred for six months to

212
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill and so that was the way it was

213
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:41,679
Speaker 1: going to start. And Tannehill had to make the point

214
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 1: to him, No, it's your show now, you're the guy.

215
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 1: You you run lead in all of the individual drills. And

216
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 1: I mean that's a that's a mental switch that gets

217
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 1: flipped for a young player too, isn't it. Well?

218
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:58,199
Speaker 3: But Ryan Tannehill deserves nothing but respect, sure, because this

219
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:00,439
Speaker 3: guy is a pros pro. He has been ever since

220
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:02,240
Speaker 3: he's been here. Came in here as an eighty plus

221
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 3: game starter said I'll be the backup, and then one.

222
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:05,679
Speaker 4: Was called in to do it.

223
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:08,800
Speaker 3: But this guy deserves nothing but respect. And I've got

224
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 3: huge respect for him just as a former coach seeing

225
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:15,839
Speaker 3: how he has handled this, because he's been a very

226
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 3: successful veteran and this is these are never easy decisions,

227
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:23,080
Speaker 3: but as it goes back to the honest communication with

228
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 3: those players, but also if you making decisions and you

229
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 3: involve people that are intrinsically good, people that understand that

230
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 3: it may not like it, but they understand it and

231
00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:36,559
Speaker 3: then do whatever is good for the team.

232
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:39,120
Speaker 4: Ryan Tannehill deserves nothing but respect.

233
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 1: The thing that I admire most about Ryan Tannehill is

234
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:46,319
Speaker 1: his toughness. I think that's the most underrated fact about him.

235
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:50,480
Speaker 2: Raett, That's the first thing really that comes to mind

236
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 2: when I think of Ryan Tannehill, that man over the

237
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 2: years and his time here, he had taken some shots

238
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 2: and got up and made things happen and distributed the

239
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:05,439
Speaker 2: ball down the field sometimes with his legs. The toughness,

240
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 2: in my mind will never be questioned.

241
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:11,800
Speaker 1: And he's in an interesting position as a backup because

242
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:14,079
Speaker 1: he's really only done this for six games in his

243
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:18,440
Speaker 1: entire career. The first I mean this is totally new

244
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:23,080
Speaker 1: for him because he came here as the backup, spent

245
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 1: five games as the backup, took over in the sixth game,

246
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:28,200
Speaker 1: became the starter in the seventh game in twenty nineteen,

247
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 1: so only time he's been a backup. He was a

248
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:34,480
Speaker 1: starter right away when he went to Miami. So how

249
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:38,439
Speaker 1: much of an adjustment for him football wise and quarterback

250
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:39,840
Speaker 1: wise is this? Coach MaTx.

251
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 3: He won't prepare any different. He won't prepare any different.

252
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:45,040
Speaker 3: He's been at it too long. He will not prepare

253
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:47,720
Speaker 3: any differently. And let me just say, from a coaching

254
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:51,440
Speaker 3: aspect of it, how confident? How much confidence have you

255
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 3: got now when you've got just like we had when

256
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 3: he was the backup here to begin with. You know,

257
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:57,839
Speaker 3: if he goes in, he's going to be ready. So

258
00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 3: but he won't prepare any different, any different other than

259
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 3: as you said, Acquiescent, that's saying, hey, well this is yours,

260
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:07,839
Speaker 3: but I'm here.

261
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 4: But he won't prepare you differently.

262
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 1: And the other part of it, too is gets a

263
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 1: chance to continue to get healthy, because I mean, we

264
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 1: forget that the high ankle sprain was less than four

265
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:22,440
Speaker 1: weeks ago, as we do this OTP right now.

266
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:24,679
Speaker 4: Well, let's all takes a while.

267
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:27,679
Speaker 3: Let's also not forget the tightrope surgery, which is right,

268
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 3: not a minor thing. I mean we went through all

269
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 3: of that and getting into particulars on what type of

270
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:36,240
Speaker 3: surgery that is.

271
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:39,480
Speaker 4: So yes, he's not completely healthy out, but.

272
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:41,960
Speaker 3: He's working towards it and he'll work to get healthy.

273
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 4: The guys are professional, all right.

274
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:46,280
Speaker 1: Need to tell you about our friends at Duncan. As

275
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:49,160
Speaker 1: I hold up my Duncan cup right here. It's always

276
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:51,320
Speaker 1: game on with Duncan, So grab a coffee and kick

277
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:53,720
Speaker 1: off the action. Whether that's drinking a cup of coffee

278
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:55,959
Speaker 1: on your way to the game or one to go

279
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 1: before watching the game at home, Duncan is always there

280
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:01,200
Speaker 1: to help you get your game on. Just like the pros,

281
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:03,000
Speaker 1: we need to be at our best come game time,

282
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:05,600
Speaker 1: which is why Duncan is the most important part of

283
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:07,920
Speaker 1: your game day ritual because it's always the best call

284
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:12,599
Speaker 1: for football America runs on Duncan, and you might you

285
00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:15,680
Speaker 1: might do. Duncan iced in Tampa this week. Mm hmm.

286
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 1: That's going to be cool again here, yep, cooler.

287
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 2: Little little cold front coming in hopefully there's some rain involved.

288
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 2: We desperately need that. But yeah, it'll dip that back

289
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 2: down into the sixties.

290
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:30,760
Speaker 1: I think for highs over the weekend. I'll just red

291
00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:31,360
Speaker 1: Brian Hello.

292
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:33,360
Speaker 4: That's why I'm wearing my long sleeve.

293
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:38,600
Speaker 1: Mike Keith collection. What is it?

294
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:39,480
Speaker 4: Says Titans Rading?

295
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:41,600
Speaker 1: It does say Titans Rading And you gave it to me. Well,

296
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 1: I did what I told you on I told you

297
00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 1: on Titans All Access I had a long sleeve for you,

298
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:49,440
Speaker 1: so I provided here it is coach. Coach likes to

299
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 1: make reference to the Titans radio gear everywhere he goes now,

300
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:54,240
Speaker 1: so it's people make chans to it.

301
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 3: Ask me where I got it, and I say Mike

302
00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:58,120
Speaker 3: Keith and they say can I have one?

303
00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:01,440
Speaker 4: I said glass, Mic, Well.

304
00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 2: I appreciate you the minute that he told me about

305
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:05,840
Speaker 2: this and said, hey, can you give this to Mac?

306
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 2: And by the way, I got all of his in black.

307
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 1: I'm like, that's a home run. It's so solid, so solid,

308
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:16,240
Speaker 1: that's perfect. Well, that was the idea. Staying with quarterbacks

309
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:19,680
Speaker 1: for a second. Yeah, how does Malik Willis handle this?

310
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:22,400
Speaker 1: But he's going or I should say, better question for you?

311
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:24,880
Speaker 1: How do the coaches handle this with Malik will.

312
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:26,600
Speaker 4: Continue to train him, continue to train him.

313
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:29,880
Speaker 3: Malik Willis has had his chances in some ballgames and

314
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 3: so they can just continue to train him. And he's

315
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:36,280
Speaker 3: Malik Willis came from a point coming out of Liberty

316
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:39,120
Speaker 3: where he was he was way behind the curve as

317
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:42,360
Speaker 3: far as developing as a quarterback. And so you know

318
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:44,600
Speaker 3: he wants to play too. He's a competitor, but he's

319
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:46,720
Speaker 3: got to continue to work. That's how he handles it.

320
00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:49,280
Speaker 1: And that's not a knock on Hugh Freeze's system in

321
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:49,680
Speaker 1: any way.

322
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:52,120
Speaker 4: Shit, Hugh Freeze is trying to win ball games.

323
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:54,400
Speaker 3: Sure, he's trying to win ball games at Liberty, which

324
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:56,560
Speaker 3: he did, which is why he got another job. So,

325
00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 3: I mean, it wasn't his job to develop a quarterback

326
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:00,720
Speaker 3: for the National Football League.

327
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 4: His job was to win games.

328
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:07,600
Speaker 1: For Liberty University. Tampa is a confounding team. Ratt They

329
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:10,480
Speaker 1: started three and one, they played great football to begin

330
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:14,280
Speaker 1: They've lost their last four since their bye, so they

331
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 1: two were three and five. What jumps out to you

332
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:17,720
Speaker 1: about Tampa for this weekend?

333
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 2: Similarities between the Titans and the Buccaneers, starting with the

334
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 2: identical record and looking at the way the Titans have

335
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:31,120
Speaker 2: lost their games on the road, except for the Cleveland game,

336
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:33,680
Speaker 2: they've been in it towards the end that you saw

337
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:36,880
Speaker 2: at Thursday night in Pittsburgh, right, and so you know,

338
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:39,680
Speaker 2: you look at two of their last three games, they

339
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:42,600
Speaker 2: were in it against the Falcons, they were certainly in

340
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:46,560
Speaker 2: it and leading in Houston last week before CJ. Stroud

341
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 2: did incredible things and hits Tank Dell in the back

342
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:50,800
Speaker 2: of the end zone for a go ahead score thirty nine,

343
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 2: thirty seven.

344
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:53,040
Speaker 1: The other part of it is.

345
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:56,640
Speaker 2: You can get lost in the numbers by looking at

346
00:16:56,680 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 2: the giveaway, takeaway and turnovers. They're plus eight, but a

347
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:04,000
Speaker 2: bulk of those came during that three to one stretch

348
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:05,720
Speaker 2: to begin and not as many in.

349
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:07,240
Speaker 1: The last four losses for them.

350
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 2: But the weapons are there and it's not the Other

351
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 2: thing that stands out is Baker Mayfield is not turning

352
00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:15,640
Speaker 2: it over and getting it away only four interceptions, He's

353
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:18,480
Speaker 2: not sacked very often because they have a great offensive line.

354
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:22,119
Speaker 2: And then the weapons he's got to throw to, Oh wow.

355
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:26,480
Speaker 1: As Baker has Baker Mayfield remade his career well.

356
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:28,520
Speaker 4: To me, Baker Mayfield's always been a dealer.

357
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:31,920
Speaker 3: He's played at different places, but he's absorbed different types

358
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:34,520
Speaker 3: of offenses. Now he moved around to kind of stay

359
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:35,920
Speaker 3: with the same offense he's been with.

360
00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:39,080
Speaker 4: But this guy's a dealer. I think he's very, very.

361
00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 3: Undervalued as far as the starting quarterback in this league.

362
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:44,760
Speaker 3: He knows how to distribute the football and he's a competitor.

363
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:48,199
Speaker 3: And the guy also he's accurate, but he's also a

364
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:51,720
Speaker 3: runner too. So I've always been a Baker Mayfield fan

365
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:54,760
Speaker 3: because of the fact some guys, you know, if.

366
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:57,360
Speaker 4: A quarterback plays quarterback robotically.

367
00:17:57,400 --> 00:17:59,679
Speaker 3: That's different when you're looking at him defensively other than

368
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:00,760
Speaker 3: a guy that's a dealer.

369
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:03,800
Speaker 1: This guy's a dealer, and he's taking better care of

370
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:06,399
Speaker 1: the football, which is what everybody wanted to see. Sure,

371
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:10,399
Speaker 1: he's staying more on schedule with everything he does, running

372
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:13,320
Speaker 1: the offense the way they want it. And so I

373
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:15,199
Speaker 1: just wonder if we're not seeing a guy sort of

374
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:17,960
Speaker 1: remake his Stamunan. There's a number one overall pick in

375
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:20,239
Speaker 1: the draft. Well, yes, first walk on to every win,

376
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:23,680
Speaker 1: the Heisman Trophy. I mean, he's he's got some he's

377
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 1: got some accolades.

378
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:26,040
Speaker 4: Well, he absolutely does.

379
00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:28,560
Speaker 3: And the other thing is, and you talk about remake,

380
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:32,480
Speaker 3: he's gaining experience. He's gained experience from a lot of things,

381
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:35,679
Speaker 3: and experience in this league, especially at that position, you

382
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:36,879
Speaker 3: can't manufacture it.

383
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:38,359
Speaker 4: So he's learned too.

384
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:42,720
Speaker 1: So I threw this stetmoth Ow the stat out I

385
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:45,280
Speaker 1: threw at Keith Bullack on Titans Tonight Wednesday night on

386
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:50,520
Speaker 1: Titans Radio. Baker Mayfield has thrown four interceptions. All four

387
00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:54,200
Speaker 1: have come in circumstances Coach Mack where he was not blitzed.

388
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:58,920
Speaker 1: He's been sacked thirteen times. Eleven of the thirteen sacks

389
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:03,119
Speaker 1: have come on sits where he has not been blitzed.

390
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:08,000
Speaker 1: What does that mean if you're Shane Bowen and you're

391
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:11,800
Speaker 1: putting together a game plan about Baker Mayfield, what do

392
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:13,160
Speaker 1: those numbers tell you?

393
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:18,040
Speaker 3: Well, veteran quarterbacks, which he is, if you blitz them,

394
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:20,160
Speaker 3: they can find out pretty quickly where the ball's going

395
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:24,280
Speaker 3: if they're looking downfield, because you're a man a man defense,

396
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:28,159
Speaker 3: So it's pretty easy to discern that. Now veteran quarterbacks,

397
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 3: what you try to do is pre snap, bogie different

398
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:34,639
Speaker 3: looks and then give them different looks post snap, and

399
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:37,040
Speaker 3: that's what that tells me is more people. More people

400
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:41,399
Speaker 3: are playing coverage against him, but not showing their hand

401
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:42,120
Speaker 3: early on.

402
00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:43,520
Speaker 4: That's what that tells me.

403
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:48,560
Speaker 1: Will the Bucks knowing Todd Bowles the way you do, yes,

404
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 1: the answers, Yes, they'll blitz oh, coach, they're going to

405
00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:53,000
Speaker 1: bless him coming off the bus.

406
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:53,679
Speaker 4: Off the bus.

407
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:56,560
Speaker 3: But they blessed nearly forty percent of the time, which

408
00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:59,800
Speaker 3: is third of the National Football League. But this is nothing,

409
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:02,320
Speaker 3: has nothing to do with the Titans coming in there.

410
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:05,920
Speaker 3: This is Todd Bowles. I've known Todd for a long time. Defensively,

411
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:08,160
Speaker 3: he will bring it. He'll He'll bring five or more

412
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:10,560
Speaker 3: at the drop of a hat. He's like our old

413
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:14,240
Speaker 3: friend Greg Williams. He blitzes on mother and his grandmother.

414
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:16,399
Speaker 4: That's a great way to put it.

415
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:23,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I mean some guys just will I mean, it's.

416
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:24,480
Speaker 4: In his nature.

417
00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:27,240
Speaker 3: It's like that old Aesop's fable, Why that scorpion stung

418
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:28,160
Speaker 3: the frog going across?

419
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:30,639
Speaker 4: Why'd you sting me? Because I'm scorping. That's what I do.

420
00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:36,080
Speaker 1: He blitches, He blitzes. Their defense starts with vida vea

421
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:40,240
Speaker 1: and Vidavea leads them in sacks with three and a

422
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:43,760
Speaker 1: half that's a What of the Titans do with Vidavea?

423
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:45,200
Speaker 1: I mean, can I.

424
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 4: Say something about me? Sure he's as white as this table.

425
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:50,320
Speaker 3: I take a look at this table, and that's Vida

426
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:53,000
Speaker 3: Vea eating up three gaps.

427
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:56,399
Speaker 1: Five and zero well with help, because I mean he

428
00:20:56,440 --> 00:21:00,359
Speaker 1: out weays Aaron Brewer by weighs the world.

429
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:03,439
Speaker 3: The thing about him is is And I know you

430
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:05,480
Speaker 3: asked rhet so I'm to ask the question. Okay, cool,

431
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:09,560
Speaker 3: He's made most He's made most of his pressures playing

432
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:13,919
Speaker 3: a nose tackle, which means and he's he's unique in

433
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:16,400
Speaker 3: the fact that he's a big man, but he's got

434
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 3: lower leg flexibility where he can turn a corner. He's

435
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:22,359
Speaker 3: made most of his pressures playing right on the nose.

436
00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:25,240
Speaker 1: And then they've got If you want to comment on

437
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:26,960
Speaker 1: Vida Ba, I'd love to give you a chance. It's

438
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:28,639
Speaker 1: coach to get out of you. That's okay.

439
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:31,679
Speaker 2: He can take whatever he wants, uh, piggybacking off of

440
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:34,280
Speaker 2: that because he's able to do that as a space

441
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:38,000
Speaker 2: heater up front, it allows the linebackers and Levante David

442
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:40,920
Speaker 2: and Devin White to go make plays.

443
00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:44,560
Speaker 1: And at that second level, that's what they did Levonte

444
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:47,399
Speaker 1: David is about to become the all time leading tackler

445
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:50,320
Speaker 1: in Tampa Bay buccaneer history. May do it, this probably

446
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:51,400
Speaker 1: will do it this weekend.

447
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:55,879
Speaker 3: Well, he stayed healthy and he's played his entire career there.

448
00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:58,720
Speaker 3: This was a very very good football player coming out.

449
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:02,359
Speaker 3: He when he came out, and he's only gotten better

450
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:03,639
Speaker 3: since he's been in the league.

451
00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:06,280
Speaker 1: And then they've got some edge guys too. Shack Barrett

452
00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:10,600
Speaker 1: is good. Joe Tryon. Shar Rinka, Am I saying it right?

453
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:14,520
Speaker 1: I mean out of Washington is a good edge rusher. So,

454
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:16,719
Speaker 1: I mean they play a lot of base defense, They

455
00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:18,560
Speaker 1: play a lot of guys in the box. They come

456
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:21,119
Speaker 1: with heat. The Titans have to find a way to

457
00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:23,119
Speaker 1: get them blocked up. And the Titans are not healthy

458
00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:24,600
Speaker 1: up front on offense, No they're not.

459
00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:25,639
Speaker 4: We've got to block them up.

460
00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:28,320
Speaker 3: And then if they're bringing people, you're in mand a

461
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:30,440
Speaker 3: man in the back end. So our receivers have got

462
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:33,159
Speaker 3: to get separation. We saw early on you know what

463
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:35,760
Speaker 3: happened against Atlanta when we got heat and we were

464
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:37,359
Speaker 3: they were in man to man in the back end.

465
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:38,760
Speaker 4: Be hop warm out.

466
00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:41,200
Speaker 3: We've got people that need to win one on ones

467
00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:42,160
Speaker 3: if they're gonna bring heat.
