1
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:17,480
Speaker 1: This is the OTP pre game presented by Farm Bureau

Speaker 1: trust Farm Bureau Health Plans to implement the perfect game plan.

Speaker 1: With over seventy seven years of protecting Tennesseeans, they know

5
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:34,159
Speaker 1: how to win. With Amy Wells, I'm Mike Keith, Snicker's

6
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:39,559
Speaker 1: hot seat Titans Radio's ever reliable Rhett Brian. How many

7
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:42,680
Speaker 1: of the Snickers are you going to steal on? Behalf

8
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:44,240
Speaker 1: of coach mack Zero?

9
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, can we gets?

10
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:47,279
Speaker 3: But I'm not going to do that.

11
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:49,600
Speaker 2: It's not as full as it is, not as full

12
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:50,239
Speaker 2: as it was.

13
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:52,960
Speaker 4: The last person was who was in here was Dave

14
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 4: McGinnis talking about stealing the snickers.

15
00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 1: He clearly did that.

16
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:02,639
Speaker 4: Jar is precariously low. I are you, I mean this

17
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 4: is a crime.

18
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:05,679
Speaker 1: Are you accusing Coach MAXX?

19
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 2: Straight up?

20
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:09,399
Speaker 3: I am. Can I say something because this is just

21
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:12,120
Speaker 3: by the way, This studio is fantastic and with all

22
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:14,760
Speaker 3: the cameras and the things that you can monitor, you

23
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:17,319
Speaker 3: could probably catch him red handed with his hand in

24
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 3: the snickers.

25
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 1: In now he said he was going to take the

26
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 1: whole jar.

27
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 4: I'm thinking about getting some crime scene tape and like

28
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 4: taping off the area disgusting for Prince.

29
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 1: I mean you and you could see him taking the whole.

30
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 2: Jar too, and he put it in his bag.

31
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 1: With zero to walk out with seventy four waters.

32
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:39,480
Speaker 2: Yep, three hundred and sixty.

33
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:42,040
Speaker 4: I think he still grabs a couple of like face

34
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 4: masks like from COVID whenever.

35
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:45,839
Speaker 3: He sees it. I've never seen then.

36
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 2: I think he just grabs a couple every time.

37
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 3: Remember he got he got a whole box. And when he

38
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 3: left Green Bay that time, Yeah, to.

39
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 5: Exit the stadium, you had to go through the locker

40
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 5: room and there was a bad, a giant box of

41
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 5: masks and Mac just grabbed the whole box and we

42
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 5: walked out and he just handed them to me and

43
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:09,520
Speaker 5: was like, here, hold these.

44
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,240
Speaker 3: That's the most empty I've ever seen the Snickers jar.

45
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 3: And all the time.

46
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 1: That is coach Mac, now that I think about it,

47
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:19,360
Speaker 1: though we've only won seven games since he stole all

48
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:21,919
Speaker 1: those masks.

49
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 3: I'm not superstitious. I'm just a little stitious, and I

50
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:27,079
Speaker 3: think we need to do something like that.

51
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 2: You need to take those back.

52
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 3: Give them back, return them, return the masks, return of

53
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 3: the Mac.

54
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 1: No that's that's not true. But anyway, good to have

55
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 1: you with us, Rhett.

56
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:37,800
Speaker 3: I'm glad to be here.

57
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:43,119
Speaker 1: The OTP pregame relies on five topics, okay, and so

58
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 1: we're getting ready to go to Buffalo. So the first

59
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 1: topic is pretty simple. Give me your scenario how the

60
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:56,360
Speaker 1: Titans go into Buffalo and win on Sunday at twelve

61
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:57,640
Speaker 1: oh two Central Time.

62
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,800
Speaker 3: Scenario is this. You continue to do what you had

63
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 3: done in the last couple of games. Tony Pollard is

64
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 3: a huge part of this and continuing the success with

65
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 3: the run game. But if you can somehow mix in

66
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 3: RPO stuff and hit on a couple of bang bang,

67
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 3: big down the field type, you know, explosive plays, I

68
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 3: think that would ignite something in this offense that they're

69
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 3: looking for. Defense is playing well for you. Ryan Stonehouse

70
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 3: comes off of a game where he had a seventy

71
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 3: five yard punt. So you do that and you play

72
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:34,399
Speaker 3: clean football and don't turn it over, and I think

73
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 3: you can play keep away with those guys and come

74
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 3: out of there with a win. But you've got to

75
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 3: overcome the atmosphere because you know the first thing you

76
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 3: said on the Brian Callahan Show, this week is they

77
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 3: have been there in a month, and we know what

78
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 3: it's like to show up at high Mark Stadium anyway,

79
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 3: because those people are outrageous. They're really going to be outrageous.

80
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 3: Multi levels up because it's been a minute.

81
00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 1: And it's going to be a beautiful day, sixty six

82
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 1: degrees or something.

83
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 2: A kickoff, it's like prime football.

84
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 1: Well, I mean every I mean, if you're going to

85
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 1: the game, then you're going to that game, meaning you're

86
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 1: not gonna wake up and go, well, it's raining or maybe.

87
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 2: It will tailgate much on TV, well.

88
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 1: Yeah or some I mean, you're not doing that, and

89
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 1: people do that all over the league. They want to

90
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 1: say they don't, but you always kind of like it

91
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 1: if you're the opposing team and there's something that's happened,

92
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 1: you know, it's a little windy, or there was rain

93
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:34,160
Speaker 1: earlier in the day or whatever, because you know it's

94
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 1: gonna knock just that little edge off the crowd. Not happening.

95
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 2: Sundow's Summer Day in Buffalo, Well.

96
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 1: Chamber of Commerce.

97
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:47,280
Speaker 3: And by the way, the people in Buffalo serious about

98
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 3: their tailgating. I wouldn't be surprised as somebody tailgating there

99
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:58,040
Speaker 3: right now I'm serious, Wild RV's lawn chairs whatever.

100
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:01,840
Speaker 1: All right, So give me your scenario, Amy Wells, of

101
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 1: how the Titans go into Buffalo and win on Sunday.

102
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:08,160
Speaker 4: I think if the Titans are able to handle their

103
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:11,559
Speaker 4: own business, and by that I mean play a clean game,

104
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:15,480
Speaker 4: limit the penalties, are able to force some turnovers, are

105
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 4: able to handle the things that are fully in their control,

106
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:22,480
Speaker 4: and play a clean game, I think they give themselves

107
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 4: a pretty good chance of winning this game. I like

108
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 4: a lot of the different matchups, both offensive and defensively.

109
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 4: I like just the way these two teams go together.

110
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 4: I think it gives a lot of advantage Tennessee Titans.

111
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 4: But you gotta play a clean game. You have to

112
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 4: handle the controllable things that you can control, and that's penalties,

113
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:45,920
Speaker 4: that's takeaways, that's not giving the ball away, that's handling

114
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:48,280
Speaker 4: your own business. And if the Titans can do that,

115
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 4: I think they give themselves such really good chance.

116
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 1: I think it's Josh Allen largely the story. Josh Allen

117
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 1: has not thrown an interception this season. Wow, he is

118
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 1: going to throw in interception at some point.

119
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 2: How about Sunday calls and averages?

120
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 1: Well and he has thrown the balls. Troy Aikman said

121
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:09,480
Speaker 1: it on Monday Night Football. He said, now he's thrown

122
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:12,720
Speaker 1: the balls that could have been intercepted, but they weren't caught.

123
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 1: I think that's where you start, is if you get

124
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 1: a chance to have an interception, you got to intercept

125
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:23,039
Speaker 1: the pass. The other thing he's done well that. This

126
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:28,159
Speaker 1: is incredible. The Bills are seven of seven converting fourth downs. Wow,

127
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:32,839
Speaker 1: so they're converting thirty four percent of third downs, but

128
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 1: one hundred percent of fourth downs. So that takes their

129
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 1: conversion rate up to around well over forty percent. Actually,

130
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:46,840
Speaker 1: if you add those conversions in, so you can't let

131
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 1: them get fourth and ones. You can't let Josh Allen

132
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 1: be sneaking there and at the goal line, which they

133
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 1: use him for because he's six y five two hundred

134
00:06:57,080 --> 00:07:00,039
Speaker 1: and forty pounds. The other part of that, along with

135
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:05,719
Speaker 1: the conversions, fifteen touchdowns in twenty two red zone possessions

136
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 1: only five field goals. Yeah, so you've gotta make them

137
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 1: kick field goals. They're gonna move the ball. Guess what

138
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 1: it's gonna happen. You stop Josh Allen and you give

139
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 1: yourself a chance.

140
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 3: If you do the other thing, you're.

141
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 1: Gonna right stop him. I think you're gonna hope that

142
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 1: you catch it when he throws into you, and that

143
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 1: you force him into situations where their offense has to

144
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 1: come off the field without having scored a touchdown. And

145
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 1: so that's the part of it on the other side.

146
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 1: And this is really incredible about them statistically already this year,

147
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 1: their defense has ten takeaways. They've also seen six possessions

148
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 1: by the opposition inside their twenty where the other team

149
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 1: hasn't scored points. So every time you get down there,

150
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 1: you've got to score, whether that's a field goal or

151
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 1: a touchdown, you've got to score. Now, the Titans have

152
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 1: actually been very good. Their best offensive statistic to this

153
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:11,240
Speaker 1: point is thirteen red zone trips, eight touchdowns, so that

154
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 1: is very solid. You like to be over sixty percent,

155
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 1: you'd like to get it to over seventy percent. But

156
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 1: you get down there and the Titans are scoring, score touchdowns,

157
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 1: but at least get a field goal. I think if

158
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 1: that's the game it becomes. If you're getting off the

159
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:36,200
Speaker 1: field on defense, catch the ball with Josh Allen because

160
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 1: you're gonna have an opportunity. And then on the other side.

161
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 1: Just keep producing, just keep finding ways to keep grinding

162
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 1: points out, whether that's touchdowns or field goals, and stay

163
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 1: in this ball game. I think you've got a chance

164
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 1: to win because what you said about matchups is correct

165
00:08:56,840 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 1: in that the Bills have had some injury problems. Listen,

166
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 1: and what they've done is such a veteran team style

167
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 1: of how they've played this year. They've the best they

168
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:12,560
Speaker 1: could have hoped for coming out of training camp with

169
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 1: how the schedule was set through six games was four

170
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 1: and two. Guess what they are four into because they've

171
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:23,079
Speaker 1: they got a quarterback, they got all these veterans, They

172
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:25,600
Speaker 1: know how to win. They win the games they should win.

173
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 1: I mean, this is really who they are. They haven't

174
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 1: been overwhelming for the most part though, And that's the

175
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 1: thing you say, Okay, with this defense the Titans have,

176
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:42,400
Speaker 1: you've got a chance to match up. Yeah, but the

177
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 1: game has to go in my opinion, you know that

178
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 1: the topic being how did the Titans go in and win?

179
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 1: I think these sort of ancillary factors with the chess moves,

180
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 1: it's kind of how it has to go down.

181
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:58,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's strong. That's good analysis.

182
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:02,680
Speaker 3: Much reasons too why I mentioned the run game being

183
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 3: a part of this because in one of their losses

184
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 3: was Baltimore, they ran all over them, right, and so

185
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:11,720
Speaker 3: they are beatable. But you're right about now the going

186
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 3: inside the twenty and them not allowing a touchdown or

187
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 3: a score. Little of that skewed because Greg Zarlin missed

188
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 3: a couple of well chip shots.

189
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:21,439
Speaker 1: But that's the whole thing is you you can't get

190
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 1: down there and Breeze Hall rushed for over one hundred yards.

191
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 1: They're giving up one hundred and forty yards rushing per

192
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 1: game in part because they've had and they've had injury situations.

193
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:36,920
Speaker 1: But you've got to make the field goals, right, you

194
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 1: know that. I mean if if the Jets make the

195
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 1: field goals, they win the game.

196
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:44,440
Speaker 3: Uncle Nick as you call him, yes's.

197
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 1: The former Jets kicker who's kicked in Orchard Park more

198
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:50,320
Speaker 1: than once. Which is one thing you really like about

199
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:53,560
Speaker 1: Nick Folk in this matchup is he's been through the

200
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 1: swirling wins and we've all been down on the field

201
00:10:57,640 --> 00:10:59,960
Speaker 1: there before. It's a thing.

202
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 2: Oh, it's very real. It is very real.

203
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:07,720
Speaker 4: I One of my favorite sideline memories is you coming

204
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:11,400
Speaker 4: down to me during a game and saying, what is

205
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:12,800
Speaker 4: he kicking into.

206
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 2: The wind or with the wind? And my thought was,

207
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:19,480
Speaker 2: who could tell? Because it really is.

208
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 4: It feels like you're just standing in the middle of

209
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:24,559
Speaker 4: one of those money things.

210
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 1: That shoots the money machine.

211
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, because the wind comes from everywhere.

212
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:31,600
Speaker 4: And I remember just kind of chuckling and being like, well,

213
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:32,640
Speaker 4: I think.

214
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 2: It's coming from this way, but who really knows. It's everywhere.

215
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:37,160
Speaker 2: It's wild.

216
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:40,480
Speaker 3: To your point about Josh Allen said the crazy sat

217
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 3: I saw on him this week, I believe about forty

218
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:46,959
Speaker 3: percent of his rushes are either for first downs or touchdowns.

219
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:50,679
Speaker 3: To go back to your fourth down part, Wow.

220
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:54,480
Speaker 1: Well he's I mean, he's amazing. When I saw him

221
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:57,960
Speaker 1: at the Senior Bowl, I didn't really know what to

222
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:01,880
Speaker 1: make of him because I'd never seen an arm like

223
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:07,439
Speaker 1: his ever before ever. I mean, it was and I'm

224
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:10,200
Speaker 1: talking about you know, and there have been times where

225
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 1: I've snuck down on the field over twenty plus years

226
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:18,199
Speaker 1: to go see somebody throw just because you wanted to

227
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:20,520
Speaker 1: or to see somebody kick or catch, or you wanted

228
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 1: to determine how big somebody really was or how not

229
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:28,960
Speaker 1: big they were. And when I watched him at those practices.

230
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:35,080
Speaker 1: I've still and the Titans quarterback Will Levice absolute gun.

231
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:41,960
Speaker 1: This guy is something to that level and even beyond.

232
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:45,640
Speaker 1: And he is so big. He is such a big human.

233
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:49,079
Speaker 1: But you know when he was at Wyoming he completed

234
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:52,920
Speaker 1: I'm looking at it here fifty six percent of his passes.

235
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 2: Wow.

236
00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 1: And I mean remember hit the game a couple weeks

237
00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:58,240
Speaker 1: ago in Houston where he went nine out of thirty.

238
00:12:58,559 --> 00:12:59,239
Speaker 2: Yeah.

239
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 1: So this offense is set up for him, but they

240
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 1: take advantage of what he does well. He runs really well.

241
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:10,720
Speaker 1: To Ret's point. In his career, Ret, he has fifty

242
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:15,840
Speaker 1: six rushing touchdowns. Now think about that. He has started

243
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:19,439
Speaker 1: one hundred and nine games counting playoffs, and he has

244
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 1: fifty six rushing touchdowns. Me and I mean he can run.

245
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:27,600
Speaker 1: He can. I mean early in his career he had

246
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:31,080
Speaker 1: a couple hundred yard rushing games, but now he's up

247
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:34,120
Speaker 1: to twenty five games with three hundred yards passing. He's

248
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 1: passed for four thousand yards each of the last three seasons.

249
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:40,760
Speaker 1: He hasn't thrown a pick this year. I mean, he's

250
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:45,600
Speaker 1: been well coached and they've stayed with him at different points.

251
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:49,800
Speaker 1: You know, last year he threw eighteen picks, and it's like, well,

252
00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:52,120
Speaker 1: that's his game. He's gonna have a nine for thirty.

253
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 1: He's going to throw eighteen picks on a year. But

254
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:58,560
Speaker 1: he's so good at the things he does, and when

255
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 1: they are able to dictate with him, they don't lose.

256
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 1: When you can get in the back and forth game,

257
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:07,480
Speaker 1: it's a it's a little different.

258
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:12,320
Speaker 4: That's interesting that he because you're right, and that's where

259
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:14,720
Speaker 4: my question mark has always been with Josh Allen. Is

260
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 4: you feel like, I mean, he's got the size, he's

261
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 4: got the ability, he's got the skill. He's got these

262
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:25,560
Speaker 4: magnificent games with all of the statistical whatever you want.

263
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 4: But then he has some games like Houston, and then

264
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:31,920
Speaker 4: he has some games where he's throwing picks all over

265
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 4: the place and you're just wondering, like, where's the consistency.

266
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:39,880
Speaker 4: But I guess that over time when you zoom out

267
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 4: a little bit and look at his career, kind.

268
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:43,720
Speaker 2: Of a wash.

269
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:45,200
Speaker 1: No, I mean I think it's better.

270
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:46,360
Speaker 2: I think it's better than a lot.

271
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:50,120
Speaker 1: Oh absolutely. I mean it's seven seventy two and thirty

272
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:51,240
Speaker 1: seven as a starter.

273
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, that's better.

274
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 1: But what they've said, and this is where McDermott and

275
00:14:56,480 --> 00:15:01,000
Speaker 1: the GM Brandon Bean have been so smart is they've

276
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 1: said this is our guy period. And I mean, Rhett,

277
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:06,680
Speaker 1: you remember him as a rookie.

278
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:09,160
Speaker 2: Were you traveling his rookie year potentially?

279
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 1: Oh? Was that that was the Nick Williams game. Yes,

280
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 1: it was.

281
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:17,320
Speaker 3: That's what's in my mind as you're describing his style

282
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:19,760
Speaker 3: of plane. I think about the growth year over years

283
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:20,400
Speaker 3: since that.

284
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:23,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, he threw for eighty two yards right. He mostly

285
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:27,280
Speaker 1: ran right, and that was the whole thing. I mean,

286
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:30,160
Speaker 1: they were running here, they were running like student body

287
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:34,000
Speaker 1: left and things with him. But what they've done I

288
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 1: think as well, if not better than any franchise in

289
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:43,200
Speaker 1: the league, is they got their guy and they said

290
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:46,800
Speaker 1: this is our guy, and we're just going to do this,

291
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:49,400
Speaker 1: and we're going to build him out. And then the

292
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:52,080
Speaker 1: second year, by the end of the second year, he

293
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 1: was better. And then by the third year, he's throwing

294
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:57,880
Speaker 1: for four thousand yards yep. And we go get him

295
00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:01,120
Speaker 1: ste find Diggs and on and on and on, and

296
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:03,480
Speaker 1: we have a running game, and we play defense and

297
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 1: he can always play in the weather because he's big

298
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:09,360
Speaker 1: and he has a great arm. Yes, we might have

299
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:12,640
Speaker 1: to deal with eighteen interceptions in a season which some

300
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:16,000
Speaker 1: people would consider, oh gosh, what's happened, And they're like,

301
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:20,080
Speaker 1: but he threw twenty nine touchdown passes. Yeah, and it's like,

302
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 1: and we win again because we know some It's like,

303
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 1: the Bills are so smart because they understand they have

304
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 1: the guy that can get them there in their weather situation,

305
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:39,360
Speaker 1: with their cap situation, in their division, they've won the

306
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:43,200
Speaker 1: division four straight years. Yeah, in their division situation. He

307
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 1: matches up with our defense. If we have to hunker

308
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 1: down in a game and just run it, run it,

309
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:51,520
Speaker 1: run it, fine, whatever, it doesn't make any difference. We're

310
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:55,240
Speaker 1: not going to go undefeated, and every once in a

311
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:58,480
Speaker 1: while he's going to do something that's probably not going

312
00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:00,480
Speaker 1: to help us win. But guess what, he's a two

313
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:04,920
Speaker 1: time Pro Bowl quarterback and again the stat seventy two

314
00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 1: and thirty seven as a starter, we will win two

315
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:09,560
Speaker 1: thirds of our games.

316
00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:13,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, that will win more with him win a lot feriore.

317
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:20,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, but understanding that with his quirks, there are wins

318
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:21,240
Speaker 4: attached to that.

319
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:24,200
Speaker 3: Pent Mike, I think because of him, Yeah, I think

320
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:27,680
Speaker 3: the oppressive thing about him in twenty twenty four is

321
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:29,920
Speaker 3: because due to injuries and a couple of other things.

322
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:32,960
Speaker 3: Obviously the trade of Stefan Dix. He's done it without

323
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:34,640
Speaker 3: a true number one wide receiver.

324
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:37,280
Speaker 1: High and that brings us to topic number two. Topic

325
00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:40,359
Speaker 1: number two is how does Amari Cooper factor into the

326
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:46,400
Speaker 1: game on Sunday. He was acquired on Tuesday from Cleveland,

327
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:49,480
Speaker 1: and he already has twenty four catches on the year

328
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:52,480
Speaker 1: for two hundred and fifty yards and two touchdowns. But

329
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:56,960
Speaker 1: we saw Monday night in that game with Khalil Shakir

330
00:17:57,080 --> 00:18:01,840
Speaker 1: banged up, with Kean Coleman being a rookie, with their

331
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:06,000
Speaker 1: best receiver really being Dalton Kincaid the tight end, they

332
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:08,639
Speaker 1: needed to go get him a receiver. They've gone four

333
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:13,840
Speaker 1: and two without replacing Stefan Diggs, and now they're getting

334
00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:18,679
Speaker 1: Cooper at this incredibly cheap price for the remainder of

335
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:22,239
Speaker 1: the season, at just the right time, at just the

336
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:27,120
Speaker 1: right moment. How do you think he factors in on Sunday?

337
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:31,000
Speaker 3: Ret Bryan, Well, I'm gonna cheat because earlier this week

338
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:35,440
Speaker 3: on Titans programming, you mentioned how he'd been traded, and

339
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:38,920
Speaker 3: I had forgotten this, But he played against the Titans

340
00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:42,760
Speaker 3: in Dallas the first game he's traded from the Raiders

341
00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 3: to the Cowboys, and he had what five for fifty

342
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:48,359
Speaker 3: six in a score, five for fifty eight in a score,

343
00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:52,200
Speaker 3: five for fifty eight. Yes, yeah, but first game, and look,

344
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:56,160
Speaker 3: you look at what he's done and by default now

345
00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:58,280
Speaker 3: he's their leading receiver at two hundred and fifty yards

346
00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:01,280
Speaker 3: two touchdowns. But you're talking about guy his whole career

347
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:05,640
Speaker 3: has averaged almost over fourteen yards of catch, his last

348
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:08,720
Speaker 3: two years in Cleveland over one thousand yards, receiving over

349
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:13,879
Speaker 3: seventy catches and I think fourteen combined touchdowns. And you

350
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 3: know he can make a difference. He absolutely can. I'm

351
00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:19,679
Speaker 3: interested to see what they do with him, and certainly

352
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:22,359
Speaker 3: he's a vet and can They'll put a package together

353
00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 3: for him. But you're right, Khalil Shakir, Dalton Kinkaid, those

354
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:29,000
Speaker 3: are the two people who have made it work through

355
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:32,040
Speaker 3: the first six games this year, and predominantly for Shakir

356
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:34,600
Speaker 3: out of the slot. But they do the same thing

357
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:39,240
Speaker 3: with Dalton Kincaid a lot as well. Kean Coleman has

358
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:42,399
Speaker 3: his place that he can grow. But this is a

359
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:44,440
Speaker 3: viable option for Josh Allen.

360
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:47,080
Speaker 1: You agree, we're going to see a lot of Amari Cooper.

361
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 4: I think we are going to see a ton of

362
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:53,320
Speaker 4: Amari Cooper. I think that that was first off the point,

363
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:56,680
Speaker 4: and I think he's something. He is someone that can

364
00:19:56,800 --> 00:20:01,119
Speaker 4: fit in so easily just because of the way that

365
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:04,600
Speaker 4: he plays as a receiver. I think that he he's

366
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:06,639
Speaker 4: kind of a plug and play guy, Like he doesn't

367
00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:10,480
Speaker 4: need a ton of reps with their offense, he doesn't

368
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:13,160
Speaker 4: need a ton of time in their system to learn

369
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:15,640
Speaker 4: what it is. He can come in and just go

370
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 4: and make an impact right away. So yeah, I think

371
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:20,160
Speaker 4: that Amari Cooper is going to be a big part

372
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:23,640
Speaker 4: of what they end up doing on Sunday. Also, I'm

373
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:27,359
Speaker 4: interested to see how they continue to use tight Ends

374
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:30,800
Speaker 4: because it seems like more and more and more seeing

375
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:34,440
Speaker 4: you're seeing the tight Ends get more involved. You mentioned

376
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:39,000
Speaker 4: Dalton Kincaid and what he's been doing it. I'm curious

377
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:40,720
Speaker 4: to see if they're going to be a part of

378
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:42,679
Speaker 4: this or if this is going to be the a

379
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:43,520
Speaker 4: MARII Cooper show.

380
00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:46,719
Speaker 1: What I'm interested in with them at tight End is

381
00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:50,200
Speaker 1: do they and can they get Dawson Knox more involved?

382
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:53,879
Speaker 1: You know, because Dawson Knox has been to a pro Bowl. Yeah,

383
00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:58,119
Speaker 1: but Ken Caid is now the focus. I mean, Ken

384
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:01,160
Speaker 1: Kid had seventy three catches last year as a rookie.

385
00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:04,560
Speaker 1: So do they use Dawson Knox or is that a

386
00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:08,720
Speaker 1: chip that they use, you know, down the line looking

387
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:11,720
Speaker 1: at a trade possibility as we get closer to the

388
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:15,120
Speaker 1: trade deadline on November fifth, Because he's a really good player.

389
00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:19,640
Speaker 1: Caught a touchdown the other night. Yep, he's a really

390
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:21,320
Speaker 1: good player and still a young player.

391
00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:23,400
Speaker 3: Good athlete, oh yeah, good athlete.

392
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:27,040
Speaker 1: And that's what scares you about how they when he's

393
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:31,600
Speaker 1: in the game, you think, oh well, now in their offense,

394
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:34,240
Speaker 1: he's the fourth option, but is he really? I mean,

395
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:38,040
Speaker 1: he's certainly way better than a fourth option in terms

396
00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:38,719
Speaker 1: of his talent.

397
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:42,879
Speaker 3: And thinking about Amari Cooper now in the mix to

398
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:44,800
Speaker 3: your point kind of what they do with tight ends,

399
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:46,800
Speaker 3: what does this do for some of the other receiving

400
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:50,119
Speaker 3: corps if as targets are shifted, Like, what does it

401
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 3: do for Mac Hollins in this offense?

402
00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:54,479
Speaker 1: Mac Collins who had the best game of his career

403
00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:59,240
Speaker 1: against the Titans. Yeah, in September of twenty twenty two

404
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 1: when he was playing for the Raiders eight catches, one

405
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:05,359
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty eight yards in a touchdown. Didn't do

406
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:08,360
Speaker 1: as much last year playing for the Falcons against the Titans,

407
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:11,719
Speaker 1: two catches for twenty seven, but he's another big veteran

408
00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:16,120
Speaker 1: receiver who caught a touchdown pass on Monday Night Football.

409
00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:18,320
Speaker 1: I want to go back to Amari Cooper for just

410
00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:22,280
Speaker 1: a second though. I made the comment earlier this week,

411
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:25,760
Speaker 1: and I meant it that I think of all the

412
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:28,359
Speaker 1: receivers who could have been traded to the team the

413
00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:32,119
Speaker 1: Titans are going to play this Sunday, he's the absolute worst,

414
00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:36,760
Speaker 1: oh in terms of worst for the Titans. And what

415
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:39,440
Speaker 1: I mean by that is, this is a guy. When

416
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:44,720
Speaker 1: he's coming out of Alabama, he's compared stylistically to Marvin

417
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:48,640
Speaker 1: Harrison because he's just He's always open, he can run

418
00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:53,200
Speaker 1: the entire route tree, he has speed, and quietly his

419
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:57,879
Speaker 1: NFL career has been like that. Yeah, because he's been

420
00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:02,119
Speaker 1: traded three times, it's almost as if he's judged as

421
00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:05,760
Speaker 1: less than We'll get this. Five Pro Bowls, seven thousand

422
00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:09,160
Speaker 1: yard seasons, he's on the cusp of seven hundred catches

423
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:12,359
Speaker 1: and he's still just right at thirty years old. Doesn't

424
00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:14,080
Speaker 1: it feel like he ought to be like forty five

425
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 1: years old.

426
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:18,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, to be older than that, like Brandon.

427
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:22,119
Speaker 3: Cook's yea, well, Brussell multiple trades, Yeah.

428
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:24,399
Speaker 1: He holds the record with Eric Dickerson having been traded

429
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:29,240
Speaker 1: four times. Brandon Cooks does. But do you remember when

430
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:34,399
Speaker 1: Amari Cooper came into this building in twenty fifteen for

431
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:36,280
Speaker 1: a pre draft visit?

432
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:36,439
Speaker 6: Oh?

433
00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:37,040
Speaker 2: Yeah.

434
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:41,320
Speaker 1: And what was interesting about that year is that was

435
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:42,960
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks year.

436
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:44,520
Speaker 2: Yep, yep.

437
00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:48,600
Speaker 1: And so it was either going to be Jameis Winston

438
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:54,720
Speaker 1: or Marcus Mariota or Leonard Williams who's gone on to

439
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:58,760
Speaker 1: have a super career is a is a perennial Pro

440
00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:04,720
Speaker 1: Bowl type defenseive lineman, and then Amari Cooper yep. And

441
00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:09,960
Speaker 1: to us internally, he was always the sleeper of the

442
00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:13,320
Speaker 1: group if we got out at number two or we

443
00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:18,200
Speaker 1: moved back a spot or two. Rustin Webster really liked him,

444
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:23,560
Speaker 1: and we all really liked him. Most people thought of

445
00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:27,080
Speaker 1: the four guys at the top, there's a very good

446
00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:29,440
Speaker 1: chance he would end up being the best player, which

447
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:33,400
Speaker 1: he has in terms of his accolades and his production.

448
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 1: No disrespect to Leonard Williams, who's also been good, but

449
00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:42,280
Speaker 1: just the consistency factor of the Marvin Harrison comparison and

450
00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:47,520
Speaker 1: ret We did these interviews and we put them out there,

451
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:52,440
Speaker 1: and that was by design. Yeah, yeah, we wanted people

452
00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:53,159
Speaker 1: smoke screen.

453
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:56,360
Speaker 2: I think it was.

454
00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:57,040
Speaker 3: Yeah.

455
00:24:57,080 --> 00:25:02,840
Speaker 4: I mean, it was more wanting people to understand that

456
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:04,760
Speaker 4: we were doing the whole.

457
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:06,600
Speaker 1: The thing, the complete due diligence.

458
00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:09,560
Speaker 4: We weren't doing We weren't just saying we're taking this

459
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:13,720
Speaker 4: quarterback and this is it. We were assessing every option

460
00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:16,520
Speaker 4: of what that first round could look like. Was my

461
00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:20,480
Speaker 4: thought or my understanding of what we were being asked

462
00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:23,280
Speaker 4: to do, was to show that the Titans were were

463
00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:24,960
Speaker 4: pursuing every avenue.

464
00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:28,280
Speaker 1: But I do think there's some smoke screen to it.

465
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:31,480
Speaker 1: I think you said it, well there, it wasn't just

466
00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:36,640
Speaker 1: smoke screen, but you wanted the Titans. You wanted everybody

467
00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:40,720
Speaker 1: because Tampa was taking Winston. They had to take Winston.

468
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:43,640
Speaker 1: He played at Florida State. He's from down that way.

469
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:47,000
Speaker 1: I mean, you know he's he's from Birmingham, Alabama. I mean,

470
00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:47,960
Speaker 1: that's what they're doing.

471
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:48,560
Speaker 2: It all fit.

472
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:52,720
Speaker 1: They are taking Winston. Jameis Winston is going to Tampa.

473
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:55,160
Speaker 1: That's what was the worst kept secret in the world.

474
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:59,880
Speaker 1: We were really the number one pick. Yeah, in Turn

475
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:04,080
Speaker 1: of the Unknown and will the phone ring in this? Well,

476
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:09,840
Speaker 1: when it came time to interview Cooper, we were told

477
00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:11,160
Speaker 1: good luck.

478
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:15,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, he doesn't talk.

479
00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:19,800
Speaker 1: And we found the thing he likes to talk about,

480
00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:25,399
Speaker 1: and that is playing receiver. And we're going to show

481
00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:28,680
Speaker 1: you a clip of this which will make you understand

482
00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:34,200
Speaker 1: from nearly ten years ago why he will be ready

483
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:38,800
Speaker 1: to play this Sunday. He got it. Then, he's proven

484
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:43,040
Speaker 1: over the last nine plus years he's done that, and

485
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:46,720
Speaker 1: even nearly ten years later, you can bet he gets

486
00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:49,639
Speaker 1: it now. This is a little bit of the conversation

487
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:52,080
Speaker 1: with a MARII Cooper from his pre draft visit in

488
00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:52,920
Speaker 1: twenty fifteen.

489
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:57,560
Speaker 7: The precision routes, that's something you have to work on

490
00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:00,639
Speaker 7: that's not natural. Hands might be natural, leaping of speed

491
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:03,760
Speaker 7: might be natural, but the routes and running the routes

492
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:06,280
Speaker 7: in such a way that you can't tell what Amari

493
00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:08,600
Speaker 7: Cooper is going to do you change speed? So well,

494
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:11,399
Speaker 7: how did you develop all of that?

495
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:15,199
Speaker 8: I've been doing it for a long time. I've played

496
00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:18,160
Speaker 8: receiver every year that I've played football, except for one

497
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:20,719
Speaker 8: one a year when I was smaller. And I started

498
00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:25,000
Speaker 8: playing third grade. But I've been playing. Before I started

499
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:27,720
Speaker 8: playing organized football, I was still playing football running routes

500
00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:31,280
Speaker 8: out there, so it's kind of innate. I can read

501
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:34,080
Speaker 8: the body language of the defender and know when I

502
00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:38,680
Speaker 8: got them. So I'm just I'm just blessed I'm able

503
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:40,199
Speaker 8: to do those type of things.

504
00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:44,240
Speaker 7: You're a student, obviously, who have you studied to watch

505
00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:49,360
Speaker 7: moves and different accelerations and things of that sort.

506
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:50,520
Speaker 1: Well, I don't really.

507
00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:55,520
Speaker 8: I don't really study a lot of other receivers. It's

508
00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:58,720
Speaker 8: just when I was growing up and coach wanted to

509
00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:01,520
Speaker 8: me to run a slant route or an outright, I

510
00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:04,200
Speaker 8: had already been doing it in my backyard without knowing

511
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:07,119
Speaker 8: I was doing it, so when he showed me how

512
00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:08,800
Speaker 8: to do it, I was already really able to do it.

513
00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:12,679
Speaker 8: So I don't know, I'm just I don't know.

514
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:15,240
Speaker 7: That's amazing because most people when they start playing in

515
00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:16,720
Speaker 7: the backyard, they want to be the quarterback or the

516
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:19,480
Speaker 7: running back. What made you want to be a receiver

517
00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:21,080
Speaker 7: and take that so seriously?

518
00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:24,760
Speaker 8: Well, so my after school, my after school camp, we

519
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:27,840
Speaker 8: played at the barnyard every day after we finished our homework.

520
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:30,960
Speaker 8: And you're right, everybody wanted to play running back. The

521
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:34,359
Speaker 8: counselor played quarterback, so I would line up in the backfield.

522
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:37,159
Speaker 8: But since everybody wanted to play running back, he one

523
00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:39,840
Speaker 8: day he told me to go at receiver. And after

524
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:42,880
Speaker 8: I went a receiver, I just enjoyed the process of

525
00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:44,480
Speaker 8: catching the ball because I really didn't know how to

526
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:46,520
Speaker 8: catch at first. I would always catch with my chest,

527
00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:48,360
Speaker 8: so it was kind of a challenge to catch it

528
00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:50,320
Speaker 8: with your hands. And I would catch it and be

529
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:52,280
Speaker 8: so satisfied with catching the ball that I would always

530
00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:54,720
Speaker 8: just stop. He would say, no, you have to run

531
00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:56,000
Speaker 8: after you catch the ball. You have to try to

532
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:59,120
Speaker 8: shake their defenders. So I think that's what made me

533
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:00,880
Speaker 8: start really liking it. Was a challenge.

534
00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:03,080
Speaker 1: One the guy always wanted to play receiver.

535
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:05,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, his whole life, that's his thing.

536
00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:08,640
Speaker 3: And the route tree, I mean, the whole thing. He

537
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:11,120
Speaker 3: knows it. Just give him, give him a package and

538
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:11,560
Speaker 3: let him go.

539
00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:18,080
Speaker 1: So if you were discussing as we were Tampa and

540
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:20,440
Speaker 1: how in twenty fifteen they were definitely going to take

541
00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:25,959
Speaker 1: Jameis Winston, which they did, the best non secret of

542
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:28,720
Speaker 1: this week is that Amari Cooper is going to be

543
00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:30,920
Speaker 1: ready to play for Buffalo against the Titans.

544
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:33,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, he's good. Don't worry about it, guy.

545
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:38,400
Speaker 1: The problem with the Amari Cooper story too, that is

546
00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:43,240
Speaker 1: so difficult at this moment. Last year, his best game

547
00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:45,640
Speaker 1: of the season for the Cleveland Browns.

548
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:48,520
Speaker 3: Was against these Tennessee Titans.

549
00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:52,280
Speaker 1: Seven catches, one sixteen, including a forty three yard touchdown.

550
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:55,920
Speaker 1: It's also the best day Deshaun Watson has ever had

551
00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:59,960
Speaker 1: as Brown's quarterback. Yeah. Why why is that?

552
00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:00,760
Speaker 2: I don't know.

553
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:02,920
Speaker 3: I don't know, but I don't like it. Yeah, So

554
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:03,400
Speaker 3: there's that.

555
00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:09,080
Speaker 4: Hey, Titans fans, with a Kroger Boost membership, you'll score

556

Speaker 1: Tighten Up Holme is at the forefront of all that

560
00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:27,360
Speaker 1: we do. It's why we're so committed to caring for

561
00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:30,200
Speaker 1: the places and spaces in which we work and live.

562
00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:35,480
Speaker 1: Ashley the official furniture provider of the Tennessee Titans. The

563
00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:41,680
Speaker 1: otp pregame continues with topic number three, and that is

564
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:46,400
Speaker 1: Jamal Adams has been waived by the Tennessee Titans did

565
00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:48,960
Speaker 1: not play a lot of football for the Titans. Certainly

566
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:54,479
Speaker 1: disappointing it didn't work out, But I don't think a

567
00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:58,520
Speaker 1: total surprise to anyone internally externally.

568
00:30:58,800 --> 00:30:59,760
Speaker 2: No, I don't think so.

569
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:04,760
Speaker 4: I think that this was a situation of wanting to

570
00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:09,040
Speaker 4: find a veteran player to be in that secondary. I

571
00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:12,320
Speaker 4: think that was what it was. I mean, didn't break

572
00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:15,680
Speaker 4: the bank bringing him in. He had all very reasonable

573
00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:19,160
Speaker 4: amount of money spent. It was one of the It

574
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:21,640
Speaker 4: was kind of a flyer, you know, you throw it

575
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:25,200
Speaker 4: out there. You see, he seems really interested in coming here.

576
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:28,040
Speaker 4: He seemed very excited about the program and what the

577
00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:30,920
Speaker 4: team was trying to do. And as things kind of

578
00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:33,800
Speaker 4: evolved and the pieces kind of settled into place, and

579
00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:36,480
Speaker 4: you know, you kind of figure out who's who in

580
00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:39,240
Speaker 4: the zoo and where everything fits together, and it just

581
00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:42,480
Speaker 4: didn't feel like the right fit anymore. And you know,

582
00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:45,640
Speaker 4: he's had a long career, he's had injuries, he's kind

583
00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:48,720
Speaker 4: of in a unique set of circumstances.

584
00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:48,440
Speaker 2: Of his own.

585
00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:52,480
Speaker 4: And so, I mean, is anybody really surprised. No, do

586
00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:54,800
Speaker 4: I think it's a huge hit to the defense.

587
00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:55,560
Speaker 2: Not really.

588
00:31:56,760 --> 00:31:59,120
Speaker 4: I think this is just one of those things where

589
00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:02,160
Speaker 4: the hopefully the two sides can kind of part ways,

590
00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:03,840
Speaker 4: and that's that, you know.

591
00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:07,520
Speaker 3: The I mean, we've seen so many people come and

592
00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:10,040
Speaker 3: go over the years for a myriad of reasons. I mean,

593
00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:12,880
Speaker 3: I think about just not that long ago in training camp,

594
00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:16,440
Speaker 3: Sadiq Charles was to talk at right guard and then

595
00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:19,720
Speaker 3: he up and retires one day. It happens, things happen.

596
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:25,320
Speaker 3: You're right about having a safety for this defense because

597
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:30,280
Speaker 3: with the defense that Denard Wilson uses, Amani Hooker is

598
00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:33,360
Speaker 3: the mainstay, and then there's a rotation sometimes with that

599
00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:36,840
Speaker 3: other spot, you know. And they wasn't too long after

600
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:39,160
Speaker 3: they did the Jamal Adams things they did Quandre Diggs

601
00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:42,520
Speaker 3: they did so I think between having bodies and just

602
00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:46,600
Speaker 3: trying to work out guys. Veteran presence though in the secondary,

603
00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:48,960
Speaker 3: I think was one of the main objectives.

604
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:51,680
Speaker 1: Well, Elijah Molden was not going to be the fit

605
00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:54,680
Speaker 1: for this defense, which is why they traded him to

606
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:57,760
Speaker 1: the Chargers. And he's doing fine there, which is not surprising.

607
00:32:57,840 --> 00:33:00,800
Speaker 1: He's a good football player. But they they were looking

608
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:06,840
Speaker 1: for veteran presence, so they went looking for Adams to

609
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:10,200
Speaker 1: add him as a veteran presence. I don't know. Maybe

610
00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:13,040
Speaker 1: they got Digs in some part because of his friend

611
00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:17,040
Speaker 1: Adams being here possible and it's worked out great. But

612
00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:21,800
Speaker 1: that was what Dinard Wilson wanted. He wanted more veteran

613
00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:25,800
Speaker 1: to put with Amani Hooker, so you know what you got.

614
00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:30,800
Speaker 1: Adams was inactive at Chicago, made one tackle against the Jets.

615
00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:34,600
Speaker 1: He started the Green Bay game and made three tackles.

616
00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:38,600
Speaker 1: He played as a reserve at Miami and then he

617
00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:42,200
Speaker 1: was placed on non football or reserve non football injury

618
00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:47,320
Speaker 1: and that was done on the twelfth, So that was

619
00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:50,520
Speaker 1: done on Saturday. I guess he did not play in

620
00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:54,400
Speaker 1: the Indianapolis game. Where he is at this point in

621
00:33:54,440 --> 00:34:01,360
Speaker 1: his career. He actually, as we tape, this turns twenty nine.

622
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:03,440
Speaker 2: Today, happy birthday.

623
00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:08,720
Speaker 1: So he's a free agent and able to go somewhere.

624
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:15,120
Speaker 1: And I think the other part of this that is important,

625
00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:20,880
Speaker 1: maybe not as much to wins and losses, is sometimes

626
00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:24,200
Speaker 1: you want to do right by a veteran player as

627
00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:27,160
Speaker 1: much as possible. If it's not working, which it's not,

628
00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:32,239
Speaker 1: then let him go. Yep, then give him a chance.

629
00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:34,759
Speaker 1: I mean, how many more years? Jamal Adams says, I

630
00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:37,200
Speaker 1: don't know, he's a guy who was very hard on

631
00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:40,640
Speaker 1: his body because of how he hit people. And he's

632
00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:44,319
Speaker 1: a pro. He certainly made some money, he's been a

633
00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:47,440
Speaker 1: big name. If he gets a chance to land somewhere

634
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:50,120
Speaker 1: where he can do something for the rest of the year,

635
00:34:50,160 --> 00:34:53,000
Speaker 1: that gives him a chance to you know, win a

636
00:34:53,080 --> 00:34:58,319
Speaker 1: championship or be nearer family, or you know, in a

637
00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:03,160
Speaker 1: system that can use him. You know, agents certainly are

638
00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:06,920
Speaker 1: aware of certain things. Other players, veteran players are aware

639
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:10,960
Speaker 1: of certain things. It does not hurt you to be

640
00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:13,319
Speaker 1: professionally positive in that way.

641
00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:16,719
Speaker 4: You want to give him the opportunity to find whatever

642
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:20,480
Speaker 4: situation works better for him than where he currently is.

643
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:23,680
Speaker 4: It doesn't do anybody any good to keep a player

644
00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:27,480
Speaker 4: in a situation where it's clearly not working. Rarely does

645
00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:29,239
Speaker 4: either side benefit from that.

646
00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:32,040
Speaker 1: No, And I mean if you were in a situation

647
00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:36,520
Speaker 1: where financially it would be of good benefit to you

648
00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:39,920
Speaker 1: to have the player on the team or what you know,

649
00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:42,640
Speaker 1: on whatever list they're on, or to trade them or

650
00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:45,400
Speaker 1: to do whatever, that's one thing. But this deal was

651
00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:49,239
Speaker 1: so team friendly, yep, that which is why they took

652
00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:54,560
Speaker 1: the flyer in the first place. Financially they lost almost nothing. Yeah,

653
00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:58,360
Speaker 1: and so they took the flyer, it didn't work, and

654
00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:02,680
Speaker 1: then rather than continue on with it, they part as

655
00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:05,440
Speaker 1: much friends as you can and allow him to go

656
00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:07,680
Speaker 1: on and do what's best for him. That's the way

657
00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:11,719
Speaker 1: you hope it goes. I think doing right by the

658
00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:16,440
Speaker 1: player is a big deal, or is a bigger deal

659
00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:21,120
Speaker 1: than probably what we know on a day to day basis.

660
00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:24,799
Speaker 4: And I also think that it's an important reputation to

661
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:27,840
Speaker 4: establish when you have a young staff, so when you

662
00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:30,800
Speaker 4: have a new head coach, when you have a second

663
00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:35,000
Speaker 4: year general manager, when you're in a position where this

664
00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:39,360
Speaker 4: group as a staff is still establishing its identity within

665
00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:42,799
Speaker 4: the NFL. I think to be able to point to

666
00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:46,120
Speaker 4: future free agents, to be able to point to your

667
00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:48,560
Speaker 4: own guys to say, listen, this was a situation and

668
00:36:48,640 --> 00:36:51,080
Speaker 4: ability where we wanted to do whatever we could to

669
00:36:51,160 --> 00:36:53,719
Speaker 4: take care of the player. I think that goes a

670
00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:57,120
Speaker 4: long way, not only within this building but throughout the

671
00:36:57,200 --> 00:36:58,200
Speaker 4: National Football League.

672
00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:01,400
Speaker 3: Both of your point valid because that's what I'm thinking

673
00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:06,520
Speaker 3: the whole time we're talking about this. It also cements

674
00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:12,200
Speaker 3: the very positive reputation that Ran karth On and this

675
00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:15,920
Speaker 3: staff has, Like he you know, he's still knew in

676
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:19,120
Speaker 3: this as the general manager. Still you know, knew in

677
00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:22,520
Speaker 3: this window of time. And these players and agents talk

678
00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:24,879
Speaker 3: to one another all the time. And I think when

679
00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:28,400
Speaker 3: you have that look that Okay, you know what, Tennessee's

680
00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:30,400
Speaker 3: must be a cool place to play, that must be

681
00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:35,120
Speaker 3: a really good outfit. And whether that pays something down

682
00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:38,080
Speaker 3: the road in it evidend, you never know, but yeah,

683
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:40,960
Speaker 3: that's good business is looking out for the player first.

684
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:43,560
Speaker 1: Well, the other part that you have too, that you

685
00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:46,319
Speaker 1: didn't feel like you have coming out of camp is

686
00:37:47,080 --> 00:37:50,400
Speaker 1: you you're obviously more interested in seeing some Julius Wood

687
00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:54,040
Speaker 1: at safety. Julius Wood is a player that the Titans

688
00:37:54,040 --> 00:38:01,200
Speaker 1: claimed off of waivers out of Dallas on August. He

689
00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:04,160
Speaker 1: played special teams at Chicago and then he was inactive

690
00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:08,280
Speaker 1: for the next three games. Well, then the situation happens

691
00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:13,560
Speaker 1: where on Saturday they go ahead and put Jamal Adams

692
00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:18,360
Speaker 1: on reserve non football injury and here's Julius Wood getting

693
00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:22,080
Speaker 1: a chance to play against Indianapolis. So now, at this

694
00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:26,879
Speaker 1: point in the season, not only have you established where

695
00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:29,600
Speaker 1: you think you are with Jamal Adams, which is just

696
00:38:29,680 --> 00:38:34,600
Speaker 1: not there, you're also saying we have the confidence to

697
00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:37,600
Speaker 1: give this guy more of an opportunity. I mean, that's

698
00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:41,080
Speaker 1: how it looks at first, blush to go with Mike

699
00:38:41,160 --> 00:38:45,640
Speaker 1: Brown as the backups behind Quandre Diggs and Amani Hooker,

700
00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:48,799
Speaker 1: and let's see what this guy can do. You know you,

701
00:38:50,080 --> 00:38:52,560
Speaker 1: I think you've got to have that sort of feeling

702
00:38:52,680 --> 00:38:55,160
Speaker 1: in your mind. I mean, because while you want to

703
00:38:55,160 --> 00:38:59,239
Speaker 1: do things for good reasons, right, you want credibility and

704
00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:00,719
Speaker 1: you want to be kind, it's still about one of

705
00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:05,520
Speaker 1: football games, right, That's what it comes down to. You

706
00:39:05,560 --> 00:39:09,480
Speaker 1: wouldn't do this if you didn't feel like you're okay

707
00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:14,040
Speaker 1: at another spot, and or you want to see more,

708
00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:17,600
Speaker 1: not necessarily at safety. I don't think Julius Wood's gonna

709
00:39:17,600 --> 00:39:20,560
Speaker 1: play safety. I guess they feel like he could, if

710
00:39:20,640 --> 00:39:23,080
Speaker 1: need be, now more so than he could a month ago.

711
00:39:23,719 --> 00:39:26,600
Speaker 1: But let's see this guy on teams. Let's see him

712
00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:29,040
Speaker 1: get after some people. Let's see how he fits in

713
00:39:29,120 --> 00:39:32,520
Speaker 1: the forty eight on game day. Let's take a look.

714
00:39:32,560 --> 00:39:34,399
Speaker 1: We know what we got Mike Brown. He's a good

715
00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:38,920
Speaker 1: special teams player. He's played some safety at different points. Now,

716
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:41,040
Speaker 1: let's see where Julius is at.

717
00:39:41,120 --> 00:39:46,320
Speaker 3: Julius while he's not Jamal Adams in terms of career,

718
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:50,919
Speaker 3: much younger and a chance to work himself into this thing.

719
00:39:50,960 --> 00:39:52,960
Speaker 3: Had a chance to hang out with him a little

720
00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:55,440
Speaker 3: bit earlier this week. He was one of the players

721
00:39:55,480 --> 00:39:58,680
Speaker 3: at a Play sixty school show that we did with

722
00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:03,239
Speaker 3: t RAQ and nice young man. Kids loved him. He

723
00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:07,319
Speaker 3: had a great message. He's a good size dude. Doo

724
00:40:08,080 --> 00:40:09,960
Speaker 3: he is he has he's a long player.

725
00:40:10,239 --> 00:40:14,600
Speaker 1: Well, and these are the guys you know when you

726
00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:19,560
Speaker 1: go Jamal Adams, Julius Wood. You know a guy who

727
00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:22,160
Speaker 1: was a high number one pick and a three time

728
00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:26,000
Speaker 1: pro bowler all pro to a guy who was not drafted.

729
00:40:26,680 --> 00:40:30,200
Speaker 1: Nobody's saying they're the same player. But where the Titans

730
00:40:30,239 --> 00:40:35,439
Speaker 1: are right now, you're looking to build out this forty eight,

731
00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:40,120
Speaker 1: this fifty three, this sixty nine man roster, trying to

732
00:40:40,120 --> 00:40:43,120
Speaker 1: figure out how to get the pieces in place so

733
00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:47,360
Speaker 1: that next offseason you don't have to turn over thirty

734
00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:48,400
Speaker 1: roster spots.

735
00:40:48,640 --> 00:40:50,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a great point.

736
00:40:50,360 --> 00:40:54,200
Speaker 1: And here's his background. He's originally from Columbus, Ohio. Julias

737
00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:56,759
Speaker 1: Wood did not generate any college interests coming out of

738
00:40:56,800 --> 00:41:01,240
Speaker 1: walnut Ridge High School. He opted to attend Lynn Junior College,

739
00:41:01,239 --> 00:41:04,800
Speaker 1: in Brenham, Texas. His two years in the JUCO ranks

740
00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:09,799
Speaker 1: offered the opportunity to grow both physically, and he blossomed

741
00:41:09,840 --> 00:41:14,360
Speaker 1: into a run stopping safety presence. He then transferred to

742
00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:18,920
Speaker 1: East Carolina one hundred and seventy four tackles, five pass deflections,

743
00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:22,439
Speaker 1: four interceptions in two years for the Pirates. He ran

744
00:41:22,640 --> 00:41:25,879
Speaker 1: four to six at East Carolina's pro day on March

745
00:41:25,920 --> 00:41:28,719
Speaker 1: the twenty six, twenty twenty four. So he's a rookie,

746
00:41:29,880 --> 00:41:33,320
Speaker 1: I mean, who knows. I mean that's a that's initially

747
00:41:33,360 --> 00:41:38,440
Speaker 1: where you go. All right? Topic four? Who's your Titan

748
00:41:38,560 --> 00:41:42,440
Speaker 1: for Sunday? That you got to see? Who's somebody you

749
00:41:42,520 --> 00:41:45,440
Speaker 1: can't say, Tony Pollard? Who's your what?

750
00:41:45,719 --> 00:41:48,799
Speaker 2: Okay, you're gonna say Tony Palk. Why can't I say?

751
00:41:48,880 --> 00:41:51,080
Speaker 1: Because we've a stabbed But Tony Pollard's got to play

752
00:41:51,120 --> 00:41:53,400
Speaker 1: well for the Titans to have a chance.

753
00:41:53,520 --> 00:41:56,239
Speaker 2: I like these rules. But okay, continue, but we'll let

754
00:41:56,360 --> 00:41:58,719
Speaker 2: you start. No, I don't want to start. We'll let

755
00:41:58,760 --> 00:41:59,800
Speaker 2: Red start right, redstart?

756
00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:02,360
Speaker 1: Who who's the player you gotta see on Sunday that

757
00:42:02,400 --> 00:42:04,719
Speaker 1: if we're talking about a Titans win, he's had a

758
00:42:04,719 --> 00:42:05,160
Speaker 1: good day.

759
00:42:05,640 --> 00:42:09,560
Speaker 3: Will Levis. Okay, I want I want Will Levis to

760
00:42:09,680 --> 00:42:13,640
Speaker 3: lead this team and do this. I think it'll be

761
00:42:13,680 --> 00:42:15,360
Speaker 3: a shot in the arm for him, a shot in

762
00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:18,960
Speaker 3: the arm for this team and his teammates. And I

763
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:23,799
Speaker 3: think a good day for him and a win would

764
00:42:23,840 --> 00:42:25,200
Speaker 3: be just what the doctor ordered.

765
00:42:25,239 --> 00:42:27,600
Speaker 2: Okay, I can't say Tony Pouller, but he can say

766
00:42:27,640 --> 00:42:31,279
Speaker 2: the quarterback interesting. It's all right.

767
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:33,560
Speaker 3: Person was an obvious answer.

768
00:42:33,640 --> 00:42:35,560
Speaker 4: It's a great answer. It is a really good answer.

769
00:42:37,480 --> 00:42:41,279
Speaker 4: I think my person is Jeffrey Simmons. I want to

770
00:42:41,320 --> 00:42:44,840
Speaker 4: see Jeffrey Simmons be the disruptive presence that we know

771
00:42:45,040 --> 00:42:49,759
Speaker 4: he can be. We've obviously understand that he's had some

772
00:42:49,840 --> 00:42:52,400
Speaker 4: injury issues and he's trying to overcome all of that.

773
00:42:52,520 --> 00:42:55,719
Speaker 2: But it's go time, big, Jeff. I need to see

774
00:42:55,760 --> 00:42:57,319
Speaker 2: you get after it.

775
00:42:57,560 --> 00:43:02,480
Speaker 1: I'm staying on defense with artist Ernest Ernest Jones.

776
00:43:03,600 --> 00:43:04,040
Speaker 3: The fourth.

777
00:43:05,640 --> 00:43:08,320
Speaker 1: I just think in this game, with the way the

778
00:43:08,400 --> 00:43:12,520
Speaker 1: quarterback is gonna run, and with what they're gonna want

779
00:43:12,520 --> 00:43:15,319
Speaker 1: to do with their run game, especially, God, did Ray

780
00:43:15,400 --> 00:43:17,280
Speaker 1: Davis look good the other night for the Bills.

781
00:43:17,360 --> 00:43:20,680
Speaker 3: Ray Davis did a fantastic job in ninety seven yards

782
00:43:20,760 --> 00:43:23,920
Speaker 3: rushing he's fifty five one.

783
00:43:23,040 --> 00:43:25,160
Speaker 1: Hundred and fifty two scrimmage yards.

784
00:43:25,480 --> 00:43:26,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, a lot.

785
00:43:26,239 --> 00:43:26,960
Speaker 1: Ray played great.

786
00:43:27,520 --> 00:43:27,640
Speaker 8: Uh.

787
00:43:28,600 --> 00:43:32,560
Speaker 1: I'm guessing they'll get James cook back. They got Ty Johnson,

788
00:43:32,719 --> 00:43:35,120
Speaker 1: they got the quarterback who can run. I mean they

789
00:43:35,160 --> 00:43:36,719
Speaker 1: do things with Curtis Samuel.

790
00:43:36,880 --> 00:43:38,520
Speaker 3: You're gonna have to try to plug that up.

791
00:43:38,640 --> 00:43:42,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you know you you're gonna have open field

792
00:43:42,560 --> 00:43:48,080
Speaker 1: situations on even pass rushes with Josh Allen. I mean

793
00:43:48,160 --> 00:43:50,600
Speaker 1: he drops back and somebody's coming at him and he

794
00:43:50,719 --> 00:43:54,440
Speaker 1: jukes the first guy on a blitz. Ernest Jones is

795
00:43:54,480 --> 00:43:58,160
Speaker 1: gonna have to win some against Josh Allen because he'll

796
00:43:58,160 --> 00:44:01,600
Speaker 1: have some chances. Kenneth Murray will too. But it just

797
00:44:01,719 --> 00:44:05,359
Speaker 1: feels like this is a game where Ernest Jones could

798
00:44:05,400 --> 00:44:10,880
Speaker 1: be a big factor. All right, final topic, what's bothering

799
00:44:10,920 --> 00:44:11,680
Speaker 1: Amy Wells?

800
00:44:12,160 --> 00:44:14,960
Speaker 2: So many things? Your rules to your games? Right off?

801
00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:15,160
Speaker 1: There?

802
00:44:15,200 --> 00:44:17,239
Speaker 3: It is my head there it is okay.

803
00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:19,960
Speaker 4: No, I have other things. Of course, there are things

804
00:44:19,960 --> 00:44:22,400
Speaker 4: that are bothering me. Can I Can I offset it

805
00:44:22,440 --> 00:44:24,080
Speaker 4: with a nice thing too? This feels kind of like

806
00:44:24,120 --> 00:44:26,920
Speaker 4: a negative point. Can I do like a negative and

807
00:44:26,960 --> 00:44:27,480
Speaker 4: a positive?

808
00:44:27,640 --> 00:44:27,759
Speaker 6: Well?

809
00:44:27,800 --> 00:44:31,000
Speaker 4: Sure, okay, So here's the thing. Things that are bothering

810
00:44:31,040 --> 00:44:35,120
Speaker 4: me for starters? Did you guys read this article about

811
00:44:35,160 --> 00:44:37,840
Speaker 4: how the owners can't decide if they want to allow

812
00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:39,640
Speaker 4: video on the sidelines.

813
00:44:39,719 --> 00:44:42,360
Speaker 1: Have you guys been keeping up the Atlanta meeting?

814
00:44:42,520 --> 00:44:45,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, from the Atlanta meeting, and it's always been swirling.

815
00:44:45,320 --> 00:44:47,440
Speaker 4: It's been swirling since fifteen or sixteen.

816
00:44:47,520 --> 00:44:49,239
Speaker 1: Okay, so let me stop for a second. They had

817
00:44:49,280 --> 00:44:54,279
Speaker 1: the owner's brief fall meeting at Atlanta on Tuesday. They did,

818
00:44:54,600 --> 00:44:57,200
Speaker 1: and Jacksonville got to prove for their stadium.

819
00:44:57,360 --> 00:44:57,640
Speaker 2: They did.

820
00:44:57,760 --> 00:45:01,120
Speaker 1: Atlanta got approved for Super Bowl sixty, sure did, and

821
00:45:01,120 --> 00:45:03,280
Speaker 1: then there were some other ancillary topics.

822
00:45:03,360 --> 00:45:06,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, and so this is a topic that is not new.

823
00:45:06,440 --> 00:45:11,200
Speaker 4: It's a continued conversation and these owners just cannot decide

824
00:45:11,719 --> 00:45:14,560
Speaker 4: whether or not and head coaches too, I should say,

825
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:18,160
Speaker 4: cannot decide whether or not they want to allow video

826
00:45:18,360 --> 00:45:21,240
Speaker 4: on the sidelines during games, the All twenty two video

827
00:45:21,880 --> 00:45:25,279
Speaker 4: in place of pictures. This specific article that I read,

828
00:45:25,440 --> 00:45:29,440
Speaker 4: there were cited situations where a coach really went after

829
00:45:29,480 --> 00:45:31,839
Speaker 4: a player for missing a block because that's what he

830
00:45:31,880 --> 00:45:34,000
Speaker 4: saw on the picture, but when he went back to

831
00:45:34,040 --> 00:45:36,080
Speaker 4: the tape, that's not at all what happened. He made

832
00:45:36,120 --> 00:45:39,560
Speaker 4: the block just fine. The picture just caught an odd

833
00:45:39,640 --> 00:45:41,160
Speaker 4: angle or a weird movement.

834
00:45:42,200 --> 00:45:45,680
Speaker 1: And so can I give another quick clarification.

835
00:45:45,800 --> 00:45:48,920
Speaker 2: So the pictures are on the tablets.

836
00:45:49,280 --> 00:45:52,000
Speaker 1: They're on the tablets now. They used to be literal

837
00:45:52,120 --> 00:45:55,840
Speaker 1: pictures that were printer that were run down from the

838
00:45:55,880 --> 00:46:01,839
Speaker 1: press box, and then technology got really special and they

839
00:46:01,840 --> 00:46:05,520
Speaker 1: could print them on the sidelines. Yes, and so everybody thought,

840
00:46:05,640 --> 00:46:09,920
Speaker 1: oh my goodness, we're basically the Jetsons riding on those

841
00:46:10,920 --> 00:46:13,719
Speaker 1: is the future, this is the future. Well then they

842
00:46:13,760 --> 00:46:18,160
Speaker 1: got moved to tablets. So we're still looking at pictures.

843
00:46:18,600 --> 00:46:21,919
Speaker 1: We're still making Yeah, we're still making pictures.

844
00:46:22,160 --> 00:46:22,640
Speaker 5: Yeah.

845
00:46:22,680 --> 00:46:25,799
Speaker 1: And they're trying to decide, even though the video.

846
00:46:26,320 --> 00:46:29,040
Speaker 2: Is available, whether or not they should.

847
00:46:28,760 --> 00:46:31,920
Speaker 1: Whether or not it should be allowed for I mean,

848
00:46:32,320 --> 00:46:32,839
Speaker 1: what is it?

849
00:46:33,200 --> 00:46:35,719
Speaker 4: Here are the two arguments, let me tell you, Mike Keith,

850
00:46:37,120 --> 00:46:39,359
Speaker 4: and this is what's getting my goat a little bit

851
00:46:39,400 --> 00:46:41,920
Speaker 4: here here let me explain. So the two sides are

852
00:46:42,040 --> 00:46:44,920
Speaker 4: one side that says, if you are not a good

853
00:46:45,080 --> 00:46:48,360
Speaker 4: enough coach to be able to look at the game

854
00:46:48,440 --> 00:46:52,320
Speaker 4: on the field and the pictures that you are given,

855
00:46:52,360 --> 00:46:56,640
Speaker 4: the still shots and deduce what needs to happen in game,

856
00:46:58,160 --> 00:47:00,560
Speaker 4: you it's your own fault, terrible.

857
00:47:00,719 --> 00:47:02,640
Speaker 2: You need to learn how to do this better.

858
00:47:02,800 --> 00:47:05,279
Speaker 4: A good coach is able to do that, and that

859
00:47:05,440 --> 00:47:08,239
Speaker 4: is one of the key differentiators between a good coach

860
00:47:08,239 --> 00:47:12,480
Speaker 4: and a great coach is the ability to see, analyze,

861
00:47:12,600 --> 00:47:15,440
Speaker 4: and adjust as it's happening in front of them.

862
00:47:16,160 --> 00:47:18,000
Speaker 1: These so they shouldn't need videos.

863
00:47:18,040 --> 00:47:21,239
Speaker 4: They you should not require. This is the dumbing down

864
00:47:21,320 --> 00:47:25,520
Speaker 4: of the coaching profession. Okay, by giving everybody video, it

865
00:47:25,640 --> 00:47:28,520
Speaker 4: makes everybody a little bit stupider, and you don't need

866
00:47:28,600 --> 00:47:30,399
Speaker 4: to work harder to figure it out.

867
00:47:30,440 --> 00:47:32,239
Speaker 1: Could you even tell she's married to a coach?

868
00:47:33,719 --> 00:47:37,719
Speaker 2: You would never know. On the opposite side is a.

869
00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:44,200
Speaker 4: Notably younger generation of coaches saying, if everybody is able

870
00:47:44,280 --> 00:47:46,960
Speaker 4: to see what's going on and deduce it as it's

871
00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:50,080
Speaker 4: happening based on the video, don't you have to be

872
00:47:50,239 --> 00:47:54,759
Speaker 4: a better coach schematically because everybody.

873
00:47:54,320 --> 00:47:55,480
Speaker 2: Is seeing what's going on.

874
00:47:56,000 --> 00:47:58,359
Speaker 4: So the level of coaching is now, how are you

875
00:47:58,440 --> 00:48:02,680
Speaker 4: able to adjust to the chess game and figure it out?

876
00:48:03,360 --> 00:48:06,759
Speaker 4: I think that this is such a silly conversation to

877
00:48:06,840 --> 00:48:09,160
Speaker 4: even be having. If you have the ability to have

878
00:48:09,239 --> 00:48:13,840
Speaker 4: the technology to make a game better for both sides

879
00:48:14,400 --> 00:48:17,320
Speaker 4: like this is It's not like only the home team gets.

880
00:48:17,040 --> 00:48:19,880
Speaker 2: To see the video. Everybody gets to see the video.

881
00:48:20,200 --> 00:48:24,160
Speaker 4: Everyone has the ability to make the adjustments to continue

882
00:48:24,239 --> 00:48:27,960
Speaker 4: to like make a better game because all of a sudden,

883
00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:33,320
Speaker 4: everybody's able to adjust, and so everybody wins when video

884
00:48:33,440 --> 00:48:36,680
Speaker 4: is involved. I think I understand, and I am the

885
00:48:36,680 --> 00:48:40,040
Speaker 4: first one to want to preserve the integrity of old

886
00:48:40,080 --> 00:48:43,440
Speaker 4: school football in every possible way. I like it big

887
00:48:43,520 --> 00:48:46,000
Speaker 4: and mean, and I like it dirty, like in the

888
00:48:46,080 --> 00:48:49,960
Speaker 4: trenches where everybody is just a like old school football

889
00:48:50,040 --> 00:48:53,960
Speaker 4: is what I like. In the snow like, I like aggressive,

890
00:48:54,880 --> 00:48:58,440
Speaker 4: just like run it down their throats football in the snow.

891
00:48:58,320 --> 00:49:00,560
Speaker 2: And the rain and the mud. Get it.

892
00:49:00,719 --> 00:49:04,120
Speaker 4: But give these people video, Like do the right thing here.

893
00:49:04,400 --> 00:49:05,960
Speaker 4: This This is such.

894
00:49:05,800 --> 00:49:08,600
Speaker 3: A no caveman's game with technology.

895
00:49:08,640 --> 00:49:09,920
Speaker 2: But yeah, I want a caveman's game.

896
00:49:09,960 --> 00:49:11,480
Speaker 4: But let's all be able to watch it at the

897
00:49:11,480 --> 00:49:13,040
Speaker 4: same time figure out what's going on.

898
00:49:13,080 --> 00:49:14,680
Speaker 1: You know, it'd be so proud of you right now,

899
00:49:15,960 --> 00:49:22,520
Speaker 1: ks Bud Adams Junior, because mister Adams made the greatest

900
00:49:22,719 --> 00:49:26,680
Speaker 1: argument for replay in the late nineties that there was.

901
00:49:27,320 --> 00:49:31,080
Speaker 1: It was so mister Adams, it was succinct, It was

902
00:49:31,120 --> 00:49:35,360
Speaker 1: on point and it was easy to understand, he said,

903
00:49:35,560 --> 00:49:39,480
Speaker 1: and Rett will remember this as I do. When they

904
00:49:39,560 --> 00:49:42,640
Speaker 1: decided to do replay, there were a lot of people

905
00:49:42,640 --> 00:49:46,399
Speaker 1: who said, let's go damage the integrity the games, gonna

906
00:49:46,400 --> 00:49:49,440
Speaker 1: make eight hour games. It's never gonna work. It's terrible,

907
00:49:49,520 --> 00:49:56,600
Speaker 1: you know. And mister Adams said, and I'm paraphrasing, he said,

908
00:49:57,080 --> 00:50:00,680
Speaker 1: if we can fix something, why wouldn't we do that?

909
00:50:01,560 --> 00:50:04,600
Speaker 1: If we can make it right, why wouldn't we do that?

910
00:50:06,040 --> 00:50:07,280
Speaker 2: And it makes so much sense.

911
00:50:07,760 --> 00:50:12,280
Speaker 1: Hello, I mean, but people twenty five years ago, people

912
00:50:12,280 --> 00:50:18,480
Speaker 1: were arguing this vociferously, and it's like now, you really

913
00:50:18,520 --> 00:50:23,040
Speaker 1: wouldn't find anybody who would say get rid of replay, right,

914
00:50:23,280 --> 00:50:26,360
Speaker 1: There's there's been no big move for get rid of

915
00:50:26,400 --> 00:50:27,080
Speaker 1: rep Yeah.

916
00:50:27,360 --> 00:50:31,880
Speaker 3: Mister Adams was a big proponent of replay because of

917
00:50:31,920 --> 00:50:35,239
Speaker 3: something that happened to the Oilers Championship game.

918
00:50:35,320 --> 00:50:39,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, with don Or the former that Mike Renfro, Mike Renfrow.

919
00:50:39,680 --> 00:50:43,480
Speaker 3: So there was that, But that is that example of

920
00:50:43,480 --> 00:50:47,120
Speaker 3: what you're talking about with mister Adams is exactly why

921
00:50:47,719 --> 00:50:50,080
Speaker 3: he's currently in a top twenty five list for a

922
00:50:50,120 --> 00:50:53,680
Speaker 3: contributors category. To be a twenty twenty five Pro Football

923
00:50:53,680 --> 00:50:57,560
Speaker 3: Hall of Famer because he had those ideas, he had

924
00:50:57,600 --> 00:50:59,920
Speaker 3: those things that he lent to my start.

925
00:50:59,760 --> 00:51:03,719
Speaker 1: A new league. Yeah what what what like steal the

926
00:51:03,719 --> 00:51:06,680
Speaker 1: best players from the other league so we can be better?

927
00:51:06,800 --> 00:51:10,720
Speaker 1: What like? Uh? Oh, I'm not afraid to make Warren

928
00:51:10,840 --> 00:51:14,040
Speaker 1: Moon the face of my franchise. When some people don't

929
00:51:14,040 --> 00:51:16,680
Speaker 1: want to step forward with a black quarterback, that's silly.

930
00:51:16,880 --> 00:51:19,719
Speaker 1: Guess what. He's really good, but had the vision.

931
00:51:19,440 --> 00:51:23,840
Speaker 3: To go, hey, we're gonna get in our in our league,

932
00:51:23,920 --> 00:51:27,000
Speaker 3: and I know he's better off in the New York market,

933
00:51:27,239 --> 00:51:29,920
Speaker 3: right And without that, there is no guarantee with Super

934
00:51:29,920 --> 00:51:35,200
Speaker 3: Bowl three. You can't have the modern day NFL story

935
00:51:35,280 --> 00:51:36,560
Speaker 3: without mister Adams.

936
00:51:36,880 --> 00:51:39,279
Speaker 1: It's ridiculous. He's not in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

937
00:51:40,000 --> 00:51:40,520
Speaker 1: That's just me.

938
00:51:41,600 --> 00:51:43,320
Speaker 3: It's also me anyway.

939
00:51:43,600 --> 00:51:46,400
Speaker 2: That's what that No, that was what was bothering me.

940
00:51:46,480 --> 00:51:48,960
Speaker 4: But I also want to hit a little bright spot

941
00:51:49,239 --> 00:51:51,200
Speaker 4: because this doesn't all have to be about.

942
00:51:53,280 --> 00:51:55,680
Speaker 2: Things that are making me a little happy, okay, a

943
00:51:55,680 --> 00:51:58,520
Speaker 2: little joyful. Uh did you guys see that J C.

944
00:51:58,760 --> 00:52:05,400
Speaker 4: Latham don't seventy five thousand dollars to hurricane relief not

945
00:52:05,560 --> 00:52:09,080
Speaker 4: only in Tennessee and the places that needed in Tennessee

946
00:52:09,120 --> 00:52:12,120
Speaker 4: and the Carolinas, but also in Florida. Florida, and he

947
00:52:12,200 --> 00:52:15,399
Speaker 4: went to IMG in Bradenton, which is really hard hit

948
00:52:15,480 --> 00:52:16,840
Speaker 4: by both storms.

949
00:52:17,800 --> 00:52:18,080
Speaker 1: Area.

950
00:52:18,280 --> 00:52:21,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's right outside of Tampa. And I just thought

951
00:52:21,320 --> 00:52:25,799
Speaker 4: that for a young player to so early in his

952
00:52:25,960 --> 00:52:30,320
Speaker 4: career recognize the platform that he has and the impact

953
00:52:30,320 --> 00:52:32,880
Speaker 4: that he is able to have in other people's lives,

954
00:52:33,239 --> 00:52:36,279
Speaker 4: and to proactively want to do that. Nobody asked him

955
00:52:36,320 --> 00:52:40,400
Speaker 4: to do this, He sought it out, and I just

956
00:52:40,480 --> 00:52:43,320
Speaker 4: think that that's such an incredible thing. It's an awesome

957
00:52:43,320 --> 00:52:47,200
Speaker 4: thing to see out of any human, let alone somebody

958
00:52:47,239 --> 00:52:50,839
Speaker 4: who is so new in their career, somebody who's so

959
00:52:51,120 --> 00:52:56,000
Speaker 4: new to having this platform, this paycheck. There's a lot

960
00:52:56,040 --> 00:52:59,360
Speaker 4: of things about just him as a person that have

961
00:52:59,440 --> 00:53:02,359
Speaker 4: been so impressive to all of us in the first

962
00:53:02,400 --> 00:53:04,839
Speaker 4: part of his rookie year twenty one. Yeah, he's twenty

963
00:53:04,920 --> 00:53:08,200
Speaker 4: one years old, but look at the way that that

964
00:53:08,360 --> 00:53:12,200
Speaker 4: twenty one year old human has just impacted so many

965
00:53:12,280 --> 00:53:14,840
Speaker 4: people's lives and it has nothing to do with football,

966
00:53:15,080 --> 00:53:17,560
Speaker 4: and it's not because a single human told him to.

967
00:53:18,080 --> 00:53:20,120
Speaker 2: I think it's incredible It is fantastic.

968
00:53:20,160 --> 00:53:22,880
Speaker 3: First of all, his servant's heart. He's got it, no question.

969
00:53:23,719 --> 00:53:26,160
Speaker 3: How many conversations have you had with Jacon Latham?

970
00:53:26,680 --> 00:53:27,080
Speaker 1: Multiple?

971
00:53:27,160 --> 00:53:28,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, few.

972
00:53:28,440 --> 00:53:33,000
Speaker 3: He's a very interesting person and he is very wise

973
00:53:33,440 --> 00:53:36,000
Speaker 3: to be twenty one years old. It's incredible if that's

974
00:53:36,000 --> 00:53:37,960
Speaker 3: me at twenty one years old, you go, this guy's

975
00:53:38,000 --> 00:53:41,440
Speaker 3: a jack. Yeah, I mean, good grief, clam he is.

976
00:53:42,480 --> 00:53:45,360
Speaker 3: I really I had a lengthy conversation with him yesterday

977
00:53:45,360 --> 00:53:50,080
Speaker 3: in the locker room and I came away, So I've

978
00:53:50,120 --> 00:53:52,520
Speaker 3: been impressed since he walked in the door. But golly,

979
00:53:53,120 --> 00:53:55,360
Speaker 3: so the fact he did that not a huge surprise.

980
00:53:55,640 --> 00:53:58,920
Speaker 1: I think as the franchise comes out of the wilderness,

981
00:53:58,920 --> 00:54:02,520
Speaker 1: which will happen, I mean, it's going to happen. It

982
00:54:03,160 --> 00:54:07,360
Speaker 1: doesn't feel like it right now. But if you've been here,

983
00:54:07,840 --> 00:54:09,520
Speaker 1: if you were here in two thousand and four, in

984
00:54:09,560 --> 00:54:11,720
Speaker 1: two thousand and five and the start of two thousand

985
00:54:11,760 --> 00:54:16,400
Speaker 1: and six, if you were here two thousand and nine

986
00:54:16,520 --> 00:54:21,680
Speaker 1: through twenty fifteen, sometimes it takes longer than others. I

987
00:54:21,719 --> 00:54:23,840
Speaker 1: don't think it's going to take that long now. But

988
00:54:25,080 --> 00:54:27,040
Speaker 1: this franchise is going to come out of the wilderness,

989
00:54:27,480 --> 00:54:30,080
Speaker 1: and you're going to look back at things that happen

990
00:54:30,160 --> 00:54:31,879
Speaker 1: that you really don't want to hear about right now

991
00:54:31,920 --> 00:54:35,160
Speaker 1: because you're in the wilderness. But one of the things

992
00:54:35,200 --> 00:54:37,120
Speaker 1: you're going to look back on and be thankful for

993
00:54:37,320 --> 00:54:40,880
Speaker 1: is that the Titans took J. C. Latham at number seven. Yeah,

994
00:54:41,360 --> 00:54:44,880
Speaker 1: not referencing any other player that they could have taken

995
00:54:45,040 --> 00:54:47,920
Speaker 1: that everybody you know would have been fine. I'm just

996
00:54:47,960 --> 00:54:51,360
Speaker 1: saying for where the franchise is, for what their need

997
00:54:51,440 --> 00:54:53,919
Speaker 1: was at tackle, for who the human being is, for

998
00:54:54,280 --> 00:54:56,200
Speaker 1: how he's going to be a good player for a

999
00:54:56,239 --> 00:54:59,680
Speaker 1: long time. I mean, there's several things that are happening

1000
00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:06,600
Speaker 1: that are positive that aren't reflected upon because again, wilderness, wilderness,

1001
00:55:07,160 --> 00:55:12,120
Speaker 1: and that's okay, and and we you know, we understand.

1002
00:55:12,520 --> 00:55:14,600
Speaker 1: You know, it's not just now. It's the last two

1003
00:55:14,719 --> 00:55:18,239
Speaker 1: years combined, and I mean, it's a thing. But you

1004
00:55:18,320 --> 00:55:22,440
Speaker 1: will look back and you will say, this was a

1005
00:55:22,480 --> 00:55:25,840
Speaker 1: really good thing. Picking j C. Latham for this entire

1006
00:55:26,000 --> 00:55:28,560
Speaker 1: organization was a really good thing.

1007
00:55:28,880 --> 00:55:31,120
Speaker 2: He's going to be a cornerstone piece of this time,

1008
00:55:31,200 --> 00:55:31,400
Speaker 2: to be.

1009
00:55:31,440 --> 00:55:34,800
Speaker 1: A cornerstone piece of the foundation for a long long time.

1010
00:55:34,719 --> 00:55:35,720
Speaker 3: On and off the field.

1011
00:55:35,800 --> 00:55:38,640
Speaker 1: Well, that's the point for the for the organization, right Yep,

1012
00:55:38,920 --> 00:55:39,800
Speaker 1: I think it's will.

1013
00:55:39,600 --> 00:55:41,319
Speaker 2: Put anyway, that's what's bringing me joy.

1030
00:56:26,080 --> 00:56:28,680
Speaker 1: By the way, Hey, is it fan? Thanks that nice

1031
00:56:28,960 --> 00:56:32,040
Speaker 1: coach Mack is trying to get it named after him.

1032
00:56:32,080 --> 00:56:33,720
Speaker 2: Not if he keeps stealing our candy.

1033
00:56:33,880 --> 00:56:36,640
Speaker 3: Yep, we're surprised that he's trying to do that, but.

1034
00:56:36,680 --> 00:56:38,319
Speaker 1: We've got a couple things we have to do. Will

1035
00:56:38,320 --> 00:56:40,640
Speaker 1: you bear with us? Oh, okay, so we need you

1036
00:56:40,719 --> 00:56:46,120
Speaker 1: to be a model for us. M H. So he's

1037
00:56:46,120 --> 00:56:48,880
Speaker 1: got the little Caesars. It's time for the key ingredients

1038
00:56:48,880 --> 00:56:53,399
Speaker 1: of the game, delivered by little Caesars. The Titans got

1039
00:56:53,400 --> 00:56:55,960
Speaker 1: their first interception last Sunday, but they didn't get any

1040
00:56:56,040 --> 00:56:59,120
Speaker 1: quarterback sacks. So this Sunday in Buffalo, let's do both.

1041
00:57:00,040 --> 00:57:02,520
Speaker 1: Titans defense isn't giving up many yards, but they need

1042
00:57:02,600 --> 00:57:05,600
Speaker 1: more big plays. Key number one, the Titans defense gets

1043
00:57:05,600 --> 00:57:09,640
Speaker 1: after the quarterback and creates turnovers. Key number two. Keep

1044
00:57:09,719 --> 00:57:13,880
Speaker 1: Tony Pollard's momentum going. Tony Pollard has a grand total

1045
00:57:13,920 --> 00:57:16,000
Speaker 1: of one hundred and eighty one yards rushing in the

1046
00:57:16,080 --> 00:57:19,280
Speaker 1: last two games. The Memphis product has been the Titans'

1047
00:57:19,280 --> 00:57:23,000
Speaker 1: most consistent weapons so far, and he's getting stronger. Maintain

1048
00:57:23,120 --> 00:57:26,240
Speaker 1: the Tony Pollard momentum, and finally, the Titans have to

1049
00:57:26,360 --> 00:57:29,480
Speaker 1: clean it up. Cut the penalties, cover punts, catch the

1050
00:57:29,520 --> 00:57:32,800
Speaker 1: catchuple passes, don't miss chances to make a big play

1051
00:57:32,800 --> 00:57:35,840
Speaker 1: on offense, defense or special teams. The Titans have lost

1052
00:57:36,040 --> 00:57:39,400
Speaker 1: three one score games that have all had their winnable moments,

1053
00:57:39,400 --> 00:57:42,600
Speaker 1: but the Titans didn't play clean enough. That needs to change.

1054
00:57:42,640 --> 00:57:44,000
Speaker 1: Sunday in Buffalo.

1055
00:57:44,440 --> 00:57:46,640
