1
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:13,640
Speaker 1: This is the OTP presented by Farm Bureau Health Plans,

2
00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:18,120
Speaker 1: better rates, better coverage, and better service. That's why Tennessee

3
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:20,799
Speaker 1: and have been relying on Farm Bureau Health Plans for

4
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:26,720
Speaker 1: their health coverage for seventy five years. Together again, together

5
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:30,120
Speaker 1: again with Amy Wells. I'm Mike Keith. So I did

6
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:35,040
Speaker 1: an OTP sands Amy, and then Amy did an OTP

7
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:38,800
Speaker 1: sands me, and so now we are back in the

8
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:42,599
Speaker 1: same room with an OTP as we prepared to go

9
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:46,559
Speaker 1: on the road and do six OTPs. Yeah, you got

10
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 1: a little break from me, but I'm just coming back

11
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:51,640
Speaker 1: with a vengeance and we're taking our show on the road. Yeah.

12
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 1: It's the twenty twenty two Titans OTP Live Tour is

13
00:00:57,080 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 1: what they're calling it. And it starts this Saturday in Colombia.

14
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:04,480
Speaker 1: And that is Saturday, April ninth, in Columbia at the

15
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 1: Columbia Welcome Center. We will be there at three o'clock.

16
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:11,560
Speaker 1: That will be the first one. Coach Max there, Rett

17
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:15,039
Speaker 1: Bryan's there. We're doing the OTP. Why are we doing this?

18
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:18,120
Speaker 1: Why not do this? I think is a better question.

19
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:22,479
Speaker 1: I think that this is something quite honestly, Mike and

20
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:25,679
Speaker 1: you can attest to this again, this is something I've

21
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 1: wanted to do for years. Take the OTP on the road.

22
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 1: I've wanted to take the OTP on the road. As

23
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 1: we begin year five of the OTP, can you believe

24
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 1: it's that crazy? We've just celebrated an anniversary. I know

25
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:40,760
Speaker 1: the party was amazing. Yeah, you weren't invited to it

26
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:43,400
Speaker 1: was not invited, but I heard it was great. No,

27
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 1: in all seriousness, this is something that apparently when I

28
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 1: have ideas with you, there's like a three year period

29
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 1: that I've really got to just wear you down. Well,

30
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 1: it takes a while. I'm not a like to I

31
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 1: like to ruminate on things. It doesn't like change folks. Well,

32
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 1: there was also a global pandemic in the slowest sound. Yeah,

33
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 1: but being able to take the OTP to the people

34
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 1: and actually have interactions beyond just comments on Twitter and

35
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:16,799
Speaker 1: social media and otpques all things that we love. But

36
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 1: I want to be able to look at your shining

37
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:21,680
Speaker 1: faces and I want to be able to chat and

38
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 1: get to know people and then also have you kind

39
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 1: of see what the OTP looks like, which I mean

40
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 1: it's not it's not glorious. Well, it's gonna be but

41
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 1: it is gonna be really fun and we'll have a crowd. Okay,

42
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 1: So we're starting in Colombia this Saturday at three o'clock

43
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 1: at the Columbia Welcome Center. You're saying, why Columbia Is

44
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 1: it because it was the home of our eleventh President,

45
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 1: James K. Polk? Well, very good reason. Well, it'd be

46
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 1: a good reason. Is it because it was the home

47
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:52,959
Speaker 1: of one of the greatest sportscasters ever, Lindsay Nelson. No,

48
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 1: although that would be a good reason. It's because Columbia

49
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,240
Speaker 1: is the home of Farm Bureau Health Plans and they

50
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 1: are the sponsor of the OTP. They're the sponsor of

51
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 1: the Titans Amy and Coach Mac podcast, and they're the

52
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 1: sponsor of the Mike Vrabel Show. Plus they're the sponsor

53
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:13,640
Speaker 1: of Titans Radio's draft coverage coming up starting on April

54
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,640
Speaker 1: the twenty eighth, and we're very excited about that. So

55
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 1: Farm Bureau Health Plans is a great partner. Randy Wilmore

56
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 1: is a great friend of the program, and we are

57
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:26,240

136
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:05,200
Speaker 1: I got a hunch he's gonna show up at more

137
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 1: because he's coach man helps himself, he can't help himself,

Speaker 1: and he is an official spokesperson for Farm Bureau health plans. Yeah,

Speaker 1: get absolutely nothing except the love and appreciation of us

155
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 1: that people are actually listening, which we know they are,

156
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:18,239
Speaker 1: and we're very thrilled with it. Six one, five sixty,

157
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 1: two hundred. But the thing I want to rehit is

158
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 1: the Fireball fast Pass. So cool, three hundred bucks through

159
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 1: April thirtieth. It jumps to three fifty on May the first,

160
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:31,959
Speaker 1: but it may not because there's a good chance they're

161
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:35,160
Speaker 1: going to sell out of them before May first. Yeah,

162
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 1: right now, they have less than five hundred remaining. Really,

163
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 1: they're only fifteen hundred, and they've been knocking this number

164
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 1: down quickly. So for three hundred bucks, you see all

165
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:49,360
Speaker 1: ten home games, different three hundred level seat for each game.

166
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:53,600
Speaker 1: It's non transferable and there's no resale. The tickets are

167
00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:56,280
Speaker 1: dropped into your account forty eight hours before every game,

168
00:09:56,520 --> 00:10:00,439
Speaker 1: but you are in for every single game. Can't get

169
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:03,040
Speaker 1: over what a great deal this is. Is thirty bucks

170
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 1: a ticket to be able to see every Titans home game,

171
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 1: and I just think it's the greatest thing. I mean,

172
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:14,560
Speaker 1: what an opportunity to just be in the get in

173
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 1: the door, especially if you're young and you're saying, okay,

174
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 1: I can't you know. We'd love for you to do

175
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 1: a PSL. We'd love for you to buy club seats,

176
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 1: we'd season tickets. That's great. Not everybody has the resources,

177
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 1: but both my kids could afford this right with the

178
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 1: health insurance that you're getting, because young people need health

179
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:36,600
Speaker 1: insurance right too. You also need to buy some tickets.

180
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 1: You want to come see the Titans game? Are you

181
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:41,840
Speaker 1: buying PSLs? Probably not? Do you just want to go

182
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 1: with your buddies? Absolutely? Yeah, And you're in and you're in,

183
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 1: You're in for every game. Yes, I think it's great.

184
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 1: One hundred dollars fireball fast pass six, one five, two hundred.

185
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:56,080
Speaker 1: I'd buy it in a second. I'd buy in a

186
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 1: second as well. Yep, they've sold three hundred more since

187
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:00,840
Speaker 1: we last talked about it. Oh, I thought you in

188
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 1: the last minute they that would be there would be

189
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 1: a lack of truth in advertising with that. Yeah, but

190
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:11,679
Speaker 1: they are going like hotcakes, like hotcakes. Yeah, as fast

191
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:14,440
Speaker 1: as hotcakes go. Okay, I want to do something a

192
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:18,040
Speaker 1: little different here, Okay, I want to talk about these

193
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 1: aj Brown rumors for the benefit of the ot people. Oh, Mike,

194
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:26,040
Speaker 1: get a little passionate. I'm well, I'm diving right in. Okay,

195
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:30,000
Speaker 1: I'm diving right in. We're recording this on April the

196
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:35,080
Speaker 1: sixth at noon. Okay, and so I get things can change.

197
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:39,040
Speaker 1: I get things can take a different turn and things

198
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 1: can come up. But as we record at April sixth,

199
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two, at noon, I think because everywhere I've been,

200
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 1: I'm getting the what's the deal with a J? Brown? Thing?

201
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:53,839
Speaker 1: I know you are too. Everywhere at the grocery store,

202
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 1: at the doctor's office, at the gas station. Everybody wants

203
00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 1: to know what's going on with AJ because they've heard

204
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 1: this and it's gotten swept up on social media, and

205
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 1: so now it's become a thing. It's become a thing exactly.

206
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:11,720
Speaker 1: Let me sort of give you where it all started.

207
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:15,439
Speaker 1: And it started with people who really don't know much

208
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:20,320
Speaker 1: about the Tennessee Titans particular situation in twenty twenty two.

209
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:24,679
Speaker 1: And I'm not saying that judgmentally. I'm not saying that

210
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:28,320
Speaker 1: with hate. I'm not scoffing at anyone. Because people need

211
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:30,559
Speaker 1: to talk about things. I did a sports talk show

212
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:33,120
Speaker 1: every day for nine years. I get it, right, you

213
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 1: got to talk about stuff, right, But this has sort

214
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:38,360
Speaker 1: of been pulled out of the ether and it's become

215
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:43,680
Speaker 1: a thing from people who really have one hundred thousand

216
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:47,640
Speaker 1: foot view of the Tennessee Titans they've come up with

217
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:52,200
Speaker 1: rumors based on what amounts to a math argument. Okay,

218
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:54,199
Speaker 1: so let me hit me with the math, and it's

219
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 1: really more of an equation. Okay. Part A, wide receivers

220
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:01,960
Speaker 1: outside of quarterbacks have made the biggest news in the

221
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:08,400
Speaker 1: NFL offseason. Yes, that's because wide receivers are getting paid,

222
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:13,320
Speaker 1: I mean paid. They're resigning for big money. They are

223
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:16,280
Speaker 1: signing with new teams for big money. Some are being

224
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:20,240
Speaker 1: traded because they want big money or because teams have

225
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:24,559
Speaker 1: signed other wide receivers for big money. AKA, that's how

226
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 1: the Titans ended up with Robert Woods great exactly because

227
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:31,080
Speaker 1: the Rams signed Alan Robinson and so they had to

228
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 1: make room. Teams that need frontline wide receivers are kicking

229
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:39,199
Speaker 1: the tires on every possibility. That's what the rumors are

230
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 1: out there. The Jets are one of those teams, and

231
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:45,440
Speaker 1: that's not a rumor because they were deep into the

232
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 1: trade talks for Kansas City's Tyree Hill. They eventually lost

233
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:52,840
Speaker 1: out to the Miami Dolphins, but the Jets were in it.

234
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 1: The other part of this equation is the Jets do

235
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:59,720
Speaker 1: have ample cap room right now, which most teams don't.

236
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 1: Is very correct, all right, So then the last part

237
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:07,079
Speaker 1: of the equation is you're looking at all of the

238
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:10,440
Speaker 1: dudes who could still be out there on the market.

239
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:13,840
Speaker 1: So where do the people go for the sake of

240
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 1: the discussion, you look at guys who are in final

241
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:21,760
Speaker 1: years of contracts. Yes, naturally, the two that jump out

242
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:25,920
Speaker 1: are DK Medcalf in Seattle and A. J. Brown at Tennessee,

243
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 1: the former old miss teammates. Yes, so you have a

244
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:36,000
Speaker 1: plus B, plus C, D, E, F, G and H.

245
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:39,360
Speaker 1: And now that's how you get here. From one hundred

246
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:43,360
Speaker 1: thousand foot view, you get to this point. And because

247
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:47,000
Speaker 1: it's New York and because it is the greatest echo

248
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 1: chamber in the world in terms of media, then it

249
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:55,400
Speaker 1: gets more legs. Would it have as many legs if

250
00:14:55,440 --> 00:15:01,760
Speaker 1: it were Buffalo or Phoenix or Denver. No, But it's

251
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:04,840
Speaker 1: about a New York team. It comes from a New

252
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 1: York report And so now it's pinging off every wall

253
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:12,040
Speaker 1: and their social media and it's kind of a low

254
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 1: time of the year. People are looking at things to

255
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 1: talk about. Okay, we can see how we got here.

256
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:21,280
Speaker 1: I get it. I mean, if we're talking about Seattle,

257
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 1: we would have one hundred thousand foot view because we

258
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:28,280
Speaker 1: don't know. We don't know the ins and outs OT people.

259
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:31,800
Speaker 1: I want to bring you into Saint Thomas Sports Park.

260
00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 1: I don't want to talk about one hundred thousand foot view.

261
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:37,520
Speaker 1: I want to talk about the Saint Thomas Sports Park view.

262
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:41,360
Speaker 1: All right, we're bringing you inside the building. So John

263
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:46,640
Speaker 1: Robinson at the owners meetings last week made very clear

264
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:52,200
Speaker 1: that he has no interest in trading AJ Brown. Correct.

265
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:56,120
Speaker 1: He said that he hasn't taken any calls. He hasn't

266
00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 1: made any calls, and that's the bottom line. I went

267
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:04,880
Speaker 1: to see John Robinson about seventy five minutes before we

268
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:08,800
Speaker 1: recorded the otp okay, sat in his office. Yes, as

269
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 1: you do from time to time. He reiterated to me

270
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 1: with the ability to share with you, he has taken

271
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:18,280
Speaker 1: no calls. He has made no calls. This is not

272
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:22,680
Speaker 1: something that he has on his radar. Interesting and the

273
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:26,840
Speaker 1: reasons are pretty simple. He drafted AJ Brown, He likes

274
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:30,640
Speaker 1: J Brown. A J. Brown's a Titan. Yeah. John Robinson's

275
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:33,840
Speaker 1: the guy who picked him. Yeah, he's really good. He's

276
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:37,160
Speaker 1: really he's really good. He's been really he's been really

277
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:40,120
Speaker 1: really good since he got here. They believe in him,

278
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:43,400
Speaker 1: they like him. He continues to get better. Did you

279
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:46,160
Speaker 1: see him in the playoff game? Yeah, he played the titles.

280
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:49,760
Speaker 1: Didn't play well on offense in that game. But who

281
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:52,360
Speaker 1: did a J. Brown? Who kept him in it? Who?

282
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:55,440
Speaker 1: Who was a J. Brown? He was going off. Here's

283
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 1: the other thing. He's a good guy. They like him everybody.

284
00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:03,400
Speaker 1: I mean, he fits. He's a Tennessee t He's a

285
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 1: Tennessee Titan. The other part, he's under contract for a

286
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:11,760
Speaker 1: team with virtually no cap room at this point because

287
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:16,680
Speaker 1: they've been successful. He's under contract for twenty twenty two

288
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 1: at a figure which the fifty first pick in the

289
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:27,119
Speaker 1: two nineteen draft would get. So you have all these

290
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:31,240
Speaker 1: things that you put together. Here's the most important thing

291
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:35,840
Speaker 1: that is getting lost. From one hundred thousand foot view,

292
00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:41,919
Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans primary focus is twenty twenty two. Yes,

293
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 1: for some teams, their primary focus, even if they don't

294
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:49,800
Speaker 1: want to say it, is twenty twenty three. For other

295
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:52,680
Speaker 1: teams who have new head coaches or new gms or

296
00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:56,439
Speaker 1: both and are starting over, their primary focus is twenty

297
00:17:56,480 --> 00:18:00,560
Speaker 1: twenty four. Does not mean that the Tight are not

298
00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:04,399
Speaker 1: keeping up with what they'll look like in twenty twenty

299
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 1: three and twenty twenty four and beyond. But the primary

300
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:13,119
Speaker 1: focus is this year. Is this team? Why this team

301
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:16,560
Speaker 1: has a chance to contend for a championship in the

302
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:20,679
Speaker 1: last three years? Well, I keep that team together. Well, exactly,

303
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:23,800
Speaker 1: this is where you are in your window. You're in

304
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:27,240
Speaker 1: a window. Some teams are not in a window. We've

305
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:30,840
Speaker 1: been there before, we know how that works. But when

306
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 1: you are in a window, you've got to focus on

307
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:37,800
Speaker 1: your chances in that window. In twenty nineteen, you went

308
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:41,720
Speaker 1: to the AFC Championship game. The last two years, you've

309
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:46,080
Speaker 1: won your division, hosted home playoff games. Last year you

310
00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:49,200
Speaker 1: were the number one seed in your conference. Okay, didn't

311
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:53,399
Speaker 1: work out, got it. But when you're putting yourself in

312
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:58,160
Speaker 1: those positions, you have a chance to contend for a championship.

313
00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:02,200
Speaker 1: That's what makes the disappointment of last year hurt so much. Yeah,

314
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:07,480
Speaker 1: but let's go back to this. The Titans are focused

315
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:12,919
Speaker 1: on twenty twenty two. Are the Titans better in twenty

316
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:16,399
Speaker 1: twenty two without a J. Brown? I say no, Well,

317
00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:20,240
Speaker 1: it's hard to see. Now. Again, things can happen. But

318
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 1: if we're looking at it on April sixth, twenty twenty two,

319
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:27,280
Speaker 1: and we're sitting here right now. It is really really

320
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:31,440
Speaker 1: hard to see. And so if you know that this

321
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:35,680
Speaker 1: franchise is focused on twenty twenty two primarily, then it

322
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 1: just doesn't make any sense. No, you have a player

323
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 1: that you like, who's a really good player, who's a

324
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:46,159
Speaker 1: proven player, who's a person that you like, who fits

325
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:48,560
Speaker 1: I think they want to keep aj Brown for a

326
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 1: long long time Amy. But if you take out that argument,

327
00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:55,239
Speaker 1: if you take out all the other arguments, are you

328
00:19:55,400 --> 00:20:00,160
Speaker 1: better without him? Now? This is a draft class as

329
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:04,120
Speaker 1: great receivers. It looks to be a really good receiver class,

330
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:07,680
Speaker 1: and the Titans might draft a receiver in the first round.

331
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:10,520
Speaker 1: They might draft a couple receivers in this draft. That

332
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:18,000
Speaker 1: could happen, right, But how many times are rookie receivers

333
00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:22,720
Speaker 1: able to help you in a meaningful way. It's almost

334
00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:28,760
Speaker 1: as often as first dates work out. Sometimes they do right,

335
00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:33,359
Speaker 1: sometimes they take yeah, But most of the time it's like, ah, yeah,

336
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:37,040
Speaker 1: I mean it only takes one right, but yeah. I

337
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:41,760
Speaker 1: think in keeping with the knowledge and understanding that the

338
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:45,400
Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans are focused on the twenty twenty two season

339
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:49,119
Speaker 1: and making that team the best team that it can be,

340
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:53,639
Speaker 1: and taking advantage of what this team has established, the foundation,

341
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 1: the momentum they've generated, all of the things. I think

342
00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:02,720
Speaker 1: that it doesn't fit the narrative to move on from

343
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:07,320
Speaker 1: your top receiver. If you know where this team is

344
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:13,159
Speaker 1: intimately at this moment, it doesn't make sense, correct. And

345
00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:16,760
Speaker 1: that's what we're talking about because we live with this

346
00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:19,560
Speaker 1: team every day. The majority of the people who've been

347
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:25,080
Speaker 1: discussing this possibility, they don't really know because quite frankly,

348
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:29,040
Speaker 1: this is not a team that gets as much attention

349
00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:31,320
Speaker 1: you can. And the other part two again, like the

350
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:35,719
Speaker 1: Seattle example, you can't know, No, you can't know intimately

351
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:39,119
Speaker 1: all thirty two. You can't. And some people have better

352
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:42,800
Speaker 1: knowledge of the thirty two teams than others, and some

353
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 1: people do their research and spend time on the phone

354
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:49,760
Speaker 1: to learn as much as you can. But it just

355
00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:55,480
Speaker 1: doesn't make sense. Nope. And that's the part of it.

356
00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:58,640
Speaker 1: You know, the conversation with John is all I needed.

357
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:03,240
Speaker 1: But the second part of it is if you just

358
00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:06,959
Speaker 1: take the basics off where this is. I think this

359
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:09,240
Speaker 1: guy's going to be with this franchise for a long time.

360
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:12,359
Speaker 1: I think he's a Titan, and I think they believe

361
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:16,480
Speaker 1: in him and they love him. Okay, so that's just

362
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:20,680
Speaker 1: that's just my belief. But if you're taking it as

363
00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:24,000
Speaker 1: the logical part of it, I think this is what

364
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 1: you see. I think if we were to create a

365
00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:29,760
Speaker 1: new equation, it would be the logical aspect of it.

366
00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:36,840
Speaker 1: Plus the general manager said, this isn't happening. Equals there

367
00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:40,840
Speaker 1: you go, right, Yeah, there's no logically when you think

368
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:43,640
Speaker 1: about it in the context of the Tennessee Titans organization

369
00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:48,239
Speaker 1: at this time, on this date, it doesn't make a

370
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:53,560
Speaker 1: lot of sense. Plus John Robinson said, this is not happening.

371
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:58,520
Speaker 1: Not happening. That's that's all I need, right, I mean,

372
00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:07,720
Speaker 1: let's just all cool our jets. Well, get it nice. Now.

373
00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:11,919
Speaker 1: Other people are asking why are the Titans not signing

374
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:15,960
Speaker 1: anyone right now? And my answer to that is, no,

375
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:20,800
Speaker 1: one is really signing people right now. Yeah, because there's

376
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:23,840
Speaker 1: really no money in the market in terms of there's

377
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 1: some teams that do have CAPRA, but there's not a

378
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:30,879
Speaker 1: lot of overall money in the market right now this point,

379
00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:33,840
Speaker 1: we're at the reset. We're three weeks away from the draft,

380
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:36,359
Speaker 1: so we're at the reset, and what's going to happen

381
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:40,639
Speaker 1: in three weeks guys will be drafted, Yes, two hundred

382
00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:44,440
Speaker 1: and sixty something players will be drafted. Teams will then

383
00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:47,600
Speaker 1: fill needs. At the point where a team fills a need,

384
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:53,280
Speaker 1: veterans will be cut to save money, yes, or they

385
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:58,000
Speaker 1: will be made available via trade. And if somebody's asking

386
00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:01,080
Speaker 1: for a twenty twenty three or twenty twenty four fifth

387
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:05,960
Speaker 1: round pick, that is much more palatable than trading a

388
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:09,360
Speaker 1: current draft pick the closer you get to a draft. Correct,

389
00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:13,280
Speaker 1: it doesn't hurt on May fifteenth to give up a

390
00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:16,440
Speaker 1: draft pick a year or two years from now, because

391
00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:19,399
Speaker 1: you don't know if you're going to be there, right

392
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:24,440
Speaker 1: if you're a team. Yeah, So salary cap room opens

393
00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:30,200
Speaker 1: back up as you get into this post draft period.

394
00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:32,359
Speaker 1: And the other part of it, too is there's always

395
00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:35,840
Speaker 1: really good value available. Yeah, you can get some good players.

396
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:40,720
Speaker 1: It's like after Valentine's Day when the candy goes on sale.

397
00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:43,920
Speaker 1: You can get some really great candy. It a great

398
00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:47,800
Speaker 1: deal right after Valentine's Day. It's the same with the draft.

399
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:52,480
Speaker 1: It's like the first date comparison with rookie wide receivers exactly. Yeah,

400
00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:55,159
Speaker 1: we're really just bringing the heat today, but really, I

401
00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:59,440
Speaker 1: mean that's you can get some really good players at

402
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:04,959
Speaker 1: a pretty affordable rate right after the draft, because it's

403
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:07,280
Speaker 1: the business of the National Football League. It's not that

404
00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:10,159
Speaker 1: they're bad players. Teams just have to pay the new

405
00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:12,240
Speaker 1: guys that they just drafted well. And the other part

406
00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:14,520
Speaker 1: of it, too, amy is they're a bunch of free

407
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:19,240
Speaker 1: agents right now who are not getting signed, who understand

408
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:22,520
Speaker 1: that the market will open back up for them as well.

409
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:25,720
Speaker 1: So what they're doing is they're just working out, sitting

410
00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:30,000
Speaker 1: and waiting because it's as if if you're willing to wait,

411
00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:33,560
Speaker 1: maybe you can sign for two and a half or

412
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:37,000
Speaker 1: three million instead of a million and a half or

413
00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:40,800
Speaker 1: two million. So you can make better money by being

414
00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:44,040
Speaker 1: willing to wait, because suddenly there are teams that not

415
00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:46,159
Speaker 1: only have cap room, but they have need because they

416
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:48,520
Speaker 1: didn't get what they wanted in the draft. Yes, it's

417
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:52,320
Speaker 1: a shopping analogy, it really is. It's the waves of

418
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:56,480
Speaker 1: free agency. You'll see it again in training camp. That's right,

419
00:25:57,080 --> 00:26:01,440
Speaker 1: Titans pick twenty sixth and no second round pick, then

420
00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:06,359
Speaker 1: ninetieth and then one thirty one, one forty three, so

421
00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:11,280
Speaker 1: that's two fours, one sixty nine. That's a five, and

422
00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:15,000
Speaker 1: then two oh four and two nineteen. Those are the sixes, No. Seven.

423
00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:17,879
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a rowdy day on day three. It

424
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:20,640
Speaker 1: is going to be a rowdy day on day three,

425
00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:23,280
Speaker 1: really is. I'm excited about that and it is going

426
00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:26,480
Speaker 1: to be rowdy as the OTP goes on tour presented

427
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:29,680
Speaker 1: by Farm Bureau Health Plans. We're really excited about this.
