00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 1: the final stop again it's at the Farmer's Market, Severe Park, Okay,

61
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 1: the Farmer's Market four to seven pm on six one

62
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:22,520

63
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 1: the whole thing. It's a really cool idea. Oh, it's

64
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 1: so cool. It's such a cool way to celebrate Nashville.

65
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 1: And I used so many cool youth lingos just then

66
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 1: you did. Yeah, I've been studying Twitter, really have. Last

67
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:37,839
Speaker 1: Sunday was Julio Jones Day in the six one five.

68
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 1: I think every day is Julio Jones Day in the

69
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 1: six one five. So I spoke this past Monday at

70
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 1: the Amanda Young Golf Tournament. It's a it's a golf

71
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 1: tournament that is done to benefit fighting children's cancer. And

72
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 1: they've done it for nineteen years and it's absolutely a

73
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 1: fantastic cause by some friends who who've just done great

74
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 1: things after losing a man young twenty years ago. They've

75
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 1: turned that into something very very positive to help people

76
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 1: and make a difference and there, and they're really continuing

77
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:12,119
Speaker 1: to do great things. And so most years I get

78
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 1: to speak at the dinner and we get up and

79
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 1: talk a little ball and take some questions. It's just

80
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 1: it's just fun. So this past Monday I spoke, and

81
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,600
Speaker 1: the minute I said the name Julio Jones, everybody in

82
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 1: the crowd just started clapping. That's the way. The week

83
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 1: has been Yes, doing radio shows, doing TV hits, being

84
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:37,840
Speaker 1: on podcasts, different areas, talking to people as you're in

85
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:41,360
Speaker 1: different places around town, filling up with gas. The other

86
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 1: night some guy starts yelling, tighten up, tighten up. It's

87
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 1: been a great week. Yeah, this has been a very

88
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:51,160
Speaker 1: fun week. And I know that everywhere you go, people

89
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 1: want to stop and talk about Julio Jones. Every single

90
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 1: place you go. It's so cool. The buzz is something

91
00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 1: you can feel. People are fired up about this team.

92
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 1: Everywhere you look on social media, there's memes and edits

93
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 1: and really cool things about Julio. It's been fun. I

94
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:09,719
Speaker 1: wish we could do something like this every week. And

95
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 1: now he's been through a practice, he's been through a

96
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 1: press availability, and you watched him work on the practice field,

97
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:18,279
Speaker 1: you saw him in the press availability, and you see

98
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:21,599
Speaker 1: the professionalism of this guy. They have added a pro

99
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:25,480
Speaker 1: one hundred percent. He is and we've said before he's

100
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:28,600
Speaker 1: a pros pro. Everything he did he did with precision,

101
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 1: and that's something that especially in a practice at this

102
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:36,920
Speaker 1: point in the offseason program, you don't always get that

103
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:41,159
Speaker 1: super crisp precision, especially out of a vet. You know,

104
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:43,720
Speaker 1: they know what they're doing. This is kind of conditioning

105
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 1: more than anything. But every mark was exact, every movement

106
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:53,040
Speaker 1: he made was intentional, and that was just so refreshing

107
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 1: to see or kind of unexpected for me. I knew

108
00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 1: he was good, I knew that he was a vet.

109
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:00,159
Speaker 1: I knew that he was going to do things the

110
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 1: right way. I didn't know it was going to be

111
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:06,720
Speaker 1: so clean cut and that he was going to be

112
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 1: so precise. Fun to watch going to be fun to

113
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:12,680
Speaker 1: watch what comes up this coming week in mini camp.

114
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:19,040
Speaker 1: Titans will practice Tuesday, Wednesday Thursday, as they get more

115
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 1: people on the field and have a bigger opportunity to

116
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:24,920
Speaker 1: get a chance to work, and Julio Jones is expected

117
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 1: to take part in that. So Julio has been a

118
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:30,919
Speaker 1: great part of the story. I wonder what part of

119
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 1: the story he will be as part of the OTP cues.

120
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 1: As we are taking your questions today on the OTP, You,

121
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 1: the ot people are the feature of this program, and

122
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 1: Amy Wells has compiled questions and we are ready to go.

123
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:49,840
Speaker 1: Amy Wells Fireway, Mike Keith. I'm going to let you

124
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 1: know that probably sixty five seventy percent of these are

125
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 1: about Julio Jones. That's fine, So just put your Julio

126
00:06:56,720 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 1: hat on my Julio had get ready to go. We've

127
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 1: got a lot of questions, a lot of really good questions.

128
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 1: This time around the OT people really showed up. So

129
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 1: we're gonna get started right out of the gate. Vicky

130
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 1: has a very pointed question for you. Vicky from Chattanooga says,

131
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 1: Mike Keith. Have you come up with a Julio Jones

132
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 1: touchdown call yet? No? I mean, I don't think so.

133
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 1: I don't know that I've ever come up with individual

134
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 1: player touchdown call. That's not really your bag, that's not

135
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 1: really how you do it. I don't no, I mean

136
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 1: it's I hadn't really thought about that. I didn't mean

137
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 1: to stump you. So it's okay. It's okay. But usually,

138
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just about the Titans, and it's about

139
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 1: the moment and the situation. The only time we did

140
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 1: that was we played January second, two thousand and I

141
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 1: had thought about it beforehand. If Frank Wycheck caught a

142
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 1: touchdown pass, I was going to say, Frank, why two

143
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 1: k Check. I don't know if you'll remember this, Oh,

144
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 1: I definitely remember you do the Y two K madness.

145
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, well, they forced us to go to Pittsburgh

146
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 1: a full day early because they did not want us

147
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 1: traveling on January first in case the computer case everything

148
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 1: went wrong. You know, there really was a worry. And

149
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 1: we went pretty early in the day on the thirty first,

150
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 1: and so we were up there for two days. That's

151
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 1: where I rang in y two K is in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

152
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 1: And so yeah, Frank caught two touchdown passes and so

153
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 1: the first when it was frank Y two K chick

154
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:31,720
Speaker 1: and nobody ever heard it, nobody said anything about it.

155
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,600
Speaker 1: It was it was like I thought it was really clever,

156
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 1: and I thought I was really funny, and the guys

157
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 1: in the booth seemed to like it. They were like, hey, yeah,

158
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 1: that's really great. Maybe they were just humoring me. But

159
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 1: no fan ever said anything. Nobody ever. You know, six

160
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 1: days later the Music City Miracle happened. So it really

161
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:55,080
Speaker 1: turned out okay. But I mean, no, I don't know. Maybe,

162
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 1: I mean sometimes you end up doing things when guys

163
00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:00,680
Speaker 1: make spectacular plays, like when when Derek Henry does it

164
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 1: or A. J. Brown does it or Tannehill or I mean,

165
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:07,080
Speaker 1: there are certain things. But no, for us, it's always

166
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:11,440
Speaker 1: been more about just touchdown Titans, which came from the

167
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 1: fact that because I was with the Vall Network before

168
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 1: and John Ward always said touchdown Tennessee, or he would

169
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 1: say touchdown Tennessee. We never wanted to say touchdown Tennessee

170
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 1: because we didn't want to in any way, shape or form,

171
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:30,560
Speaker 1: steal what they were already doing. We wanted to be

172
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 1: respectful of that. So yeah, I'm sure we'll have some

173
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 1: fun moments with him. I certainly hope so. But no,

174
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 1: nothing yet, nothing yet. All right. If Vicky has a suggestion,

175
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:42,720
Speaker 1: I'll be glad to take it. Oh gosh, I hope

176
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:46,080
Speaker 1: she does. I would love to hear the Julio touchdown

177
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:49,360
Speaker 1: call suggestions. They're probably pretty probably pretty good, all right.

178
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 1: This one is from Babette Babette Babette, It's beautiful. She asks,

179
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:58,199
Speaker 1: do players really have a choice as to where they

180
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 1: go in free agency or who will pick them? Did

181
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:05,079
Speaker 1: Julio really care where he went? Just that he went somewhere.

182
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:08,600
Speaker 1: You certainly have choices in free agency. Sometimes you have

183
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 1: choices in trades based on the fact if you're a

184
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 1: veteran and it works for the team, and it works

185
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:21,800
Speaker 1: for you, that's great. I'm sure that Atlanta wanted to

186
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 1: trade him out of the NFC. I'm sure they didn't

187
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:27,040
Speaker 1: want to see him. They may have known through his

188
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 1: agent that Tennessee would be okay. But in most cases

189
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:34,640
Speaker 1: in the NFL, no, In free agency, yes, you have choices,

190
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:39,120
Speaker 1: but in trades. No. In the draft, absolutely not. Unless

191
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:42,959
Speaker 1: there are situations where people know and this hasn't come

192
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 1: up in years, but you know, John Elway would not

193
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 1: play in Baltimore, made it absolutely clear he wasn't going

194
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 1: to play for the Colts. You've had situations where Eli

195
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 1: Manning was not going to play for the Chargers, but

196
00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 1: not often. You know, it doesn't It doesn't happen very often.

197
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 1: Bad Jason from Columbia, Missouri asks if the Titans were

198
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:09,160
Speaker 1: going to restructure contracts to sign Julio Jones, why didn't

199
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:13,160
Speaker 1: they restructure contracts to resign guys like Corey Davis or

200
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 1: John U. Smith. Because you're going to hold your restructures

201
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 1: as far as you can. If you're John Robinson, you

202
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 1: did not want to do the restructures in March. You

203
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:27,680
Speaker 1: want to do the restructures as late as you can.

204
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 1: Because a you don't want to do a lot of

205
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 1: them and be you want to have that option available.

206
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:36,960
Speaker 1: So if you can make a move for Julio Jones

207
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:39,840
Speaker 1: or sign another free agent or whatever down the line,

208
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:43,080
Speaker 1: then that option is available to you. Had you done it,

209
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 1: then in March, you would have taken the option off

210
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 1: the table. Speaking of options, Andrew from Cookeville, Tennessee asks,

211
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:54,480
Speaker 1: with the addition of Julio Jones, do we make a

212
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 1: play for zach Ertz too? Sounds like a crazy good offense.

213
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 1: It would be maybe. I mean, I don't know what

214
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 1: they want for zach Ertz. He's another really big salary.

215
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 1: He's not as big as Julio's. The Titans have already

216
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:10,640
Speaker 1: given up a draft pick next year. And remember this

217
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 1: amy next year's draft is supposed to be outstanding because

218
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 1: so many of the players who would have come out

219
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:21,680
Speaker 1: this year didn't. This year's draft was kind of thin,

220
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:25,439
Speaker 1: particularly toward the back end. Next year's draft is going

221
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 1: to be very heavy, a lot of great prospects up

222
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:32,440
Speaker 1: and down the draft. So my feeling is giving up

223
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 1: another draft pick would not be something that John Robinson

224
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 1: wants to do, unless he could potentially give up another

225
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 1: draft pick maybe another year if it was a twenty three.

226
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:45,600
Speaker 1: He's already given up a four in twenty three for

227
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:49,200
Speaker 1: Julio Jones. But you know, maybe there's a way to

228
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:52,720
Speaker 1: do that somehow, some way doesn't seem as likely with

229
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:56,439
Speaker 1: this move having been made, But the further it goes,

230
00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 1: who knows what the offers might be. With John Robinson.

231
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:03,760
Speaker 1: We know this rule out nothing. We discussed for three

232
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:07,720
Speaker 1: weeks how hard it would be for teams and the

233
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:10,640
Speaker 1: Falcons to put together the Julio Jones trade because of

234
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:13,360
Speaker 1: all the things that would factor in. But we also said,

235
00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 1: never rule out John Robinson. And sure enough, there he goes,

236
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:21,200
Speaker 1: he makes the deal. So again I'll reiterate, never rule

237
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:24,320
Speaker 1: out JR. About anything. I think that's good advice, just

238
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 1: all the way around. Never rule out John Robinson. Here's

239
00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 1: a question about the offense as a whole with Julio.

240
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:34,120
Speaker 1: This is from Twitter. With a new offensive coordinator coming

241
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:36,360
Speaker 1: in and with Ryan Tannehill and the rest of the

242
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:39,960
Speaker 1: Titans learning a new offensive system, I want to know

243
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:43,720
Speaker 1: how Julio is going to fit in offensively, and I

244
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:45,640
Speaker 1: want to know if we're going to be a little

245
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 1: bit more balanced on offense. Well, I think the Titans

246
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 1: were balanced on offense. You know, they threw the ball

247
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 1: better last year than they have in any years since

248
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 1: two thousand and three. So that was really the incredible

249
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:03,200
Speaker 1: thing was how effectively they threw the football in a

250
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:05,440
Speaker 1: year that they had a two thousand yard rusher. I

251
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 1: don't think anything changes. I think the strength of the

252
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 1: offense will be the balance, and I think they'll use

253
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:16,599
Speaker 1: Juliola all over the place. So I think the versatility

254
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:20,120
Speaker 1: of Jones, the versatility of a j. Brown, the versatility

255
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:24,400
Speaker 1: of Josh Reynolds, the versatility of Anthony Firks or, I

256
00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 1: think all of that's going to be utilized along with

257
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 1: Derek Henry and Darrington Evans, who's really having a nice offseason,

258
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:32,880
Speaker 1: and you know some of these other guys that are

259
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:35,360
Speaker 1: going to factor in on the offense as well. There

260
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:38,480
Speaker 1: may be another tight end added, there may be another

261
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:41,560
Speaker 1: receiver added. Before we play a real game in September,

262
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 1: we'll see. But to me, the balance is what's going

263
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 1: to be the best thing about Todd Downing's offense in

264
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:50,360
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one. All Right, our final of the Julio question,

265
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 1: we have reached the end of Okay, our Julio time,

266
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:57,600
Speaker 1: and this one is about his impact on the Titans defense.

267
00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 1: This is from Matt from Rockling, cal Fornia. He asks,

268
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:05,320
Speaker 1: how does the addition of Julio Jones realistically help our

269
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 1: own defense? With young players such as Farley, Fulton and

270
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 1: Molden rounding out our secondary, does it give our defense

271
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:16,520
Speaker 1: and edge up to practice daily against elite wideouts such

272
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 1: as Julio and aj Does it help a young play

273
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:22,800
Speaker 1: caller and Shane Bowen learn how to call coverages? Do

274
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:26,640
Speaker 1: practice reps against those guys actually help? Or is it

275
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:29,720
Speaker 1: not really even the same thing? Yes? And no? Okay, okay,

276
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:34,080
Speaker 1: So yes in training camp, yes, in those sorts of

277
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:39,320
Speaker 1: drills where you're in late July August into September. No,

278
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 1: once you get into the season, because ones don't spend

279
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:47,960
Speaker 1: tons of time against ones. Generally, the number one offense

280
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 1: practices against a scout defense, which you set up for

281
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:54,240
Speaker 1: the other team, and vice versa. The number one defense

282
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:58,160
Speaker 1: practices against a scout offense. So yeah, I mean they'll

283
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 1: seem some and they'll go against AJ Sum and you know,

284
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:06,240
Speaker 1: those are good reps. You can learn things and sometimes

285
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:09,640
Speaker 1: a guy like a J Brown or Julio Jones will

286
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:12,520
Speaker 1: say to a defensive back, Hey, here's what I like

287
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 1: to do in these situations. Keep an eye on this

288
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 1: guy for Jacksonville or this guy for Indianapolis, or this

289
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:21,440
Speaker 1: guy for Kansas City because he does the same thing

290
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:24,520
Speaker 1: I do. So it can, but I don't think it's

291
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:28,800
Speaker 1: a major major factor because outside of camp they don't

292
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:31,840
Speaker 1: practice against each other that much. Mike Keith, I would

293
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:33,720
Speaker 1: like to take a little bit of a turn, and

294
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:36,000
Speaker 1: that turn is to special teams. All right, well, let

295
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 1: me do this. I'll take a turn and say, let

296
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:40,600
Speaker 1: the experts at Farm Bureau Health Plans coach you through it.

297
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 1: When you need great healthcare coverage at a price you

298
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 1: can afford. They've been protecting Tennessee since nineteen forty seven.

299
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:52,880
Speaker 1: That was nice justin from Antioch. Now that the wide

300
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:55,840
Speaker 1: receiver depth chart looks to be better, What are we

301
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:58,160
Speaker 1: gonna do it? Kicker? He really just went from one

302
00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:01,320
Speaker 1: end to the other. Here did Sucker McCann impressed while

303
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 1: he was on the practice squad last year? Is the

304
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:06,480
Speaker 1: undrafted guy any better? I feel like this is the

305
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:10,760
Speaker 1: last question on the roster. See he says his name Hobbile.

306
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:15,000
Speaker 1: Hobbile is how it ends up being pronounced from Ohio State. Okay.

307
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:20,879
Speaker 1: Blake Habbeal is so impressive physically. He's six four two

308
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:24,840
Speaker 1: thirty and when he hits the ball and you hear it,

309
00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:27,359
Speaker 1: it makes a noise like you wouldn't believe. It's like

310
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:29,800
Speaker 1: WHOA I was. I actually had a chance. And we're

311
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:33,879
Speaker 1: gonna do this for an upcoming feature on something. I

312
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:35,639
Speaker 1: don't know where we'll run it. We'll probably run it

313
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 1: a lot of places. I stood with John Robinson at

314
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:44,080
Speaker 1: practice earlier this week and we were both miked and

315
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:47,920
Speaker 1: I had never stood on the practice field before in

316
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:50,560
Speaker 1: my entire life. I've been on the sidelines, I've been

317
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:52,919
Speaker 1: in the end zones, but I had never been on

318
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:56,439
Speaker 1: the fields. It was crazy. And one of the things

319
00:17:56,480 --> 00:18:00,960
Speaker 1: we did is we were behind Habbial and can and

320
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 1: watch them kick. McCann is a good sized guy. He's

321
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:08,359
Speaker 1: six feet, he's two hundred and fifteen pounds. Habbil is

322
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:12,840
Speaker 1: six four two thirty three, as I mentioned, and man,

323
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:15,600
Speaker 1: he can flat hit it. Both those guys are kicking

324
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:18,600
Speaker 1: it real well right now. I think what they're gonna do,

325
00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:21,480
Speaker 1: just my opinion is I think they're gonna let those

326
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 1: two guys go to camp and see if they can

327
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:26,960
Speaker 1: win the job. And if they can't, then you bring

328
00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:30,440
Speaker 1: in a veteran. But if they can, then maybe you've

329
00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:32,639
Speaker 1: got your kicker for years to come. I like that.

330
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:35,680
Speaker 1: I think that's I think that's where this is going,

331
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:39,320
Speaker 1: all right, more to come in training camp. Absolutely. Armando

332
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:43,040
Speaker 1: from Mexico City. I love the fact that Monty Rice

333
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:46,359
Speaker 1: was a Titans fan from his childhood. That's the dream

334
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:49,120
Speaker 1: of all of us. What do you think about this

335
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:52,920
Speaker 1: and do you think there are any advantages or disadvantages

336
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:54,960
Speaker 1: to playing for the team that you also cheer for.

337
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:58,160
Speaker 1: There's no disadvantage. I mean, it's a it's a great

338
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:01,520
Speaker 1: thing for Monty Rice to have been here, to have

339
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:05,479
Speaker 1: followed this team, to have passionate about it. It doesn't

340
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:09,840
Speaker 1: do anything but help him because he's obviously very fired

341
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:12,800
Speaker 1: up and had a good day at practice on Thursday.

342
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:15,160
Speaker 1: I mean, this is a guy who's coming on, So

343
00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:18,399
Speaker 1: I don't think it's a major boost. You know, it

344
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:21,920
Speaker 1: doesn't give him any extra advantage except for the fact

345
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:24,600
Speaker 1: that he's got a level of excitement that maybe your

346
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:29,120
Speaker 1: average rookie doesn't have in that situation. I think it's

347
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:34,160
Speaker 1: more cool than anything else. Josh from Bronx New York asks,

348
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:37,000
Speaker 1: how do you think Anthony Furser will do this year

349
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:40,480
Speaker 1: as the lead tight end? Can you envision him having

350
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:44,160
Speaker 1: a sneaky big year with defenses being so busy with

351
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:47,160
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry, AJ Brown and Julio Jones. I think he's

352
00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 1: gonna have a big year anyway, because I think they're

353
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 1: going to count on him. You know, he was the

354
00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 1: Titans leading third down receiver a year ago. He had

355
00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:57,480
Speaker 1: a really nice season. Do I think he has seventy

356
00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:00,399
Speaker 1: five catches for a thousand yards? I don't know about that,

357
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 1: but yeah, I mean, I think he's going to be

358
00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:07,720
Speaker 1: a very effective player in this system because a he

359
00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:10,520
Speaker 1: knows how to get open and be the quarterback counts

360
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:13,679
Speaker 1: on him. Ryan Tannehill believes in him, counts on him.

361
00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:15,800
Speaker 1: He's gonna throw him the football. Sure, I think he'll

362
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:17,720
Speaker 1: have a good year, So he's not gonna be sneaky big.

363
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:20,360
Speaker 1: It's actually going to be bad. I think you pay Actually, yeah,

364
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 1: I think it may be. It may not be massive,

365
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 1: it may not be Pro bowlworthy in terms of the

366
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:29,320
Speaker 1: you know the numbers that some of the tight ends

367
00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:33,000
Speaker 1: seemed to garner that get them that extra attention. But

368
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:36,439
Speaker 1: is he part of the attack. Absolutely, he is. All right,

369
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:41,040
Speaker 1: we're switching over to defense. Now it's time. Constantine from Berlin,

370
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:45,360
Speaker 1: Germany asks who is the biggest sleeper on the Titans

371
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:48,679
Speaker 1: defensive line. Who's going to take the biggest step this season?

372
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:52,560
Speaker 1: Tierre Tart totally remade his body, really been working hard.

373
00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:56,120
Speaker 1: I think tier Tart when you put him with Jeffrey

374
00:20:56,119 --> 00:21:00,199
Speaker 1: Simmons and you put him with Denico Autry and you

375
00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:04,479
Speaker 1: see these guys who work together, I think he's going

376
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:06,320
Speaker 1: to be a really good player because I think one

377
00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:10,240
Speaker 1: thing about tier is he's got some past rush ability

378
00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 1: that you don't expect from the plugger. You know, he's

379
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:16,320
Speaker 1: the guy that you think of on first and second down.

380
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:19,879
Speaker 1: But he's got some more athleticism. He I think takes

381
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:23,360
Speaker 1: a big step this year. This is from Mark from Madison, Tennessee.

382
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:28,560
Speaker 1: Titans have high financial investment players who are recovering from

383
00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:32,480
Speaker 1: or dealing with injuries. Right, do we have any updates

384
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:36,480
Speaker 1: on players like Taylor Lawan, bud Dupree, Caleb Farveley, and

385
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:40,960
Speaker 1: Elijah Moulden. Molden's back on the practice field, so everything

386
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:43,520
Speaker 1: seems to be okay with him in terms of Bud

387
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:47,360
Speaker 1: Dupree haven't seen him yet, can't speak to that. Caleb Farley,

388
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 1: haven't seen him yet, can't speak to that. I think

389
00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:54,640
Speaker 1: we can say safely that Taylor Lawan is very optimistic

390
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:59,359
Speaker 1: about his knee recovery and very hopeful that he's ready

391
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:01,360
Speaker 1: to go for the start of training camp. I don't

392
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:04,360
Speaker 1: know if he does anything next week, but I think

393
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:09,480
Speaker 1: he feels very good about his conditioning and his recovery overall,

394
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:11,960
Speaker 1: which is good news all the way. Sure, Sure, I

395
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:15,680
Speaker 1: think he's very positive and very confident. When you come

396
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:19,040
Speaker 1: back from an ACL, the thing that you want first

397
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:22,240
Speaker 1: and foremost is confidence that you feel good about it

398
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:24,919
Speaker 1: so you don't think about it. And I think in

399
00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:28,040
Speaker 1: listening to him talk about it, I think it's very

400
00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:32,119
Speaker 1: obvious that he feels confident that he has made a

401
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:37,000
Speaker 1: very good recovery. Sean from Blumont, Virginia asks do you

402
00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:40,120
Speaker 1: think the pass rush will be more aggressive this year?

403
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:43,240
Speaker 1: Jim Schwartz does not seem like a guy who likes

404
00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:46,359
Speaker 1: to blitz very often. Well, Jim Schwartz is not calling

405
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:49,679
Speaker 1: the defense. Jim Schwartz is a consultant on defense Shane

406
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:52,040
Speaker 1: Bowen is going to call the defense. I think the

407
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:54,119
Speaker 1: pass rush is going to look a lot more aggressive

408
00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 1: because I think it's just going to be better. I

409
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,959
Speaker 1: think they're better pass rushers. Do I think they send,

410
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:03,359
Speaker 1: you know, the kitchen sink all the time? No? I

411
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:06,040
Speaker 1: mean I think they sent the kitchen sink a bunch

412
00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:08,760
Speaker 1: last year. They didn't get there. That's when it comes

413
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:11,600
Speaker 1: down to go back and watch the games and see

414
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:14,679
Speaker 1: the different rush combinations, and you will see they tried

415
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 1: all sorts of things. They didn't get home. This bunch

416
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:19,320
Speaker 1: is gonna have a chance to get home because they're

417
00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:23,639
Speaker 1: better at it. They improved the overall pass rush of

418
00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:28,000
Speaker 1: this team through Bud Duperree, through Denico Autry. Maybe Richard

419
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:30,679
Speaker 1: Weaver gets a chance to take part in that. Some

420
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:33,280
Speaker 1: of the younger guys that are you know, I mentioned

421
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:35,560
Speaker 1: tier Tart, but you're also talking about some of the

422
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:39,760
Speaker 1: younger olb's on the roster. Ola Daney is another guy

423
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:41,960
Speaker 1: they brought in from Pittsburgh who has a chance to

424
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:44,880
Speaker 1: get in that rotation. To me, they weren't good enough.

425
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:47,280
Speaker 1: That's why they remade the secondary. That's why they brought

426
00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:49,280
Speaker 1: in the pieces up front. That's why they drafted what

427
00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:51,879
Speaker 1: they drafted. I don't think scheme is going to be

428
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:55,560
Speaker 1: the issue. And again, they're gonna blitz some and Swartz

429
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:59,280
Speaker 1: will certainly advise Shane bow on how that works, but

430
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:02,919
Speaker 1: it's Jane Bowen's defense. This leads me in very nicely

431
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 1: to a question from Deborah from Nashville Deborah. Deborah says

432
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:10,439
Speaker 1: she is very concerned about the current state of the

433
00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:14,479
Speaker 1: outside linebackers. She wants to know if you believe the

434
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:22,840
Speaker 1: communication issues that several players mentioned last year have been addressed. Yes, Deborah,

435
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:26,040
Speaker 1: I think we're gonna be just fined there. I think overall,

436
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:30,359
Speaker 1: the fact that you're having this group together in this

437
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:34,000
Speaker 1: way is a big deal. The fact that Jadevi and

438
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:37,440
Speaker 1: Clowney didn't get here until September six, The fact that

439
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:40,760
Speaker 1: a Door Jackson didn't practice for a lot of the

440
00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:43,600
Speaker 1: year and got hurt the week of the Denver game

441
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:46,560
Speaker 1: and that changed things in the secondary, The fact that

442
00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:49,920
Speaker 1: Jayon Brown went out in the Baltimore game and didn't return.

443
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 1: I think having these pieces back in place now is

444
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:58,240
Speaker 1: a big deal. The fact that a lot of these

445
00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:01,159
Speaker 1: guys are getting work in June and then you're going

446
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:03,760
Speaker 1: to have people at the start of training camp. Again,

447
00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:07,359
Speaker 1: I think Jadavan Clowney will play well for Cleveland because

448
00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:09,320
Speaker 1: I think he'll be healthy. But I also like the

449
00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:12,879
Speaker 1: fact that on their behalf, he got there in the

450
00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:16,080
Speaker 1: first of May. You know. For the Titans, I like

451
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:18,399
Speaker 1: the fact you made the trade for Julio Jones in

452
00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:21,280
Speaker 1: June and that he got out on the field in June,

453
00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:22,680
Speaker 1: and that he's going to be there for the start

454
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:25,520
Speaker 1: of training camp. I think those sorts of things, when

455
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:28,560
Speaker 1: you have the opportunity to build that rapport, it's a

456
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:31,920
Speaker 1: big deal. The other thing, too, is if they do

457
00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:35,640
Speaker 1: play in preseason games, even if it's just a little bit,

458
00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:39,000
Speaker 1: that's a help in terms of overall communications. But I

459
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:42,040
Speaker 1: don't think outside linebacker communication is going to be a

460
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:45,400
Speaker 1: problem at all. David has an interesting question. He says,

461
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:48,400
Speaker 1: I'm a military veteran, and I have a question concerning

462
00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:52,000
Speaker 1: rookies to the National Football League. Do the Titans or

463
00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:55,840
Speaker 1: any other team have a veteran group or organization that

464
00:25:55,960 --> 00:26:00,399
Speaker 1: helps them adjust to life with newfound money and helping

465
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:04,400
Speaker 1: them with their mental health in such a new environment. Yes,

466
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:07,640
Speaker 1: I mean that's something that every team in the league does.

467
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:12,000
Speaker 1: And it's much more extensive now than when I became

468
00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:15,160
Speaker 1: part of this organization nearly a quarter of a century ago.

469
00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:18,400
Speaker 1: They do a lot of training on a weekly basis

470
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:21,880
Speaker 1: with these players every week, every week, every week through

471
00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:24,320
Speaker 1: the season. They're doing it now. You know, they take

472
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:27,359
Speaker 1: an extra week after the veteran players leave that the

473
00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:32,480
Speaker 1: rookies stay behind. They have tons of seminars about managing

474
00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:35,880
Speaker 1: your money, about taking care of different things, about working

475
00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:39,439
Speaker 1: with your family. It's much more extensive than what it

476
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:43,120
Speaker 1: was because as these guys come into the NFL, they're

477
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:46,520
Speaker 1: younger and younger. When I arrived in the late nineties,

478
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:49,920
Speaker 1: the majority of the players would come in having spent

479
00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:54,199
Speaker 1: four or five years in college. Now a lot of

480
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:56,760
Speaker 1: these guys have spent two and a half years in college.

481
00:26:57,320 --> 00:27:00,240
Speaker 1: They've gone from twenty two or twenty three years years

482
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:04,200
Speaker 1: old to twenty right and just turned twenty and so

483
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:06,920
Speaker 1: many many of those guys they've never written a check.

484
00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:09,800
Speaker 1: They've never you know, they maybe they've had a bank

485
00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:12,879
Speaker 1: account or whatever, but they don't They don't know how

486
00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:15,960
Speaker 1: to pay bills, they don't know about insurance, things that

487
00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:19,640
Speaker 1: most of us didn't know about as we finished college.

488
00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:23,040
Speaker 1: Some we did, but not not all and these guys

489
00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:26,400
Speaker 1: to the point about the question, For these guys, it's

490
00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:29,080
Speaker 1: even more extensive based on the fact that they come in.

491
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:31,920
Speaker 1: I mean, even if you're a six seventh round pick,

492
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:34,360
Speaker 1: you've still got a lot of money compared to what

493
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:37,160
Speaker 1: most of us made at that age. So yeah, it's

494
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:41,120
Speaker 1: a it's really important, and the Titans do that really,

495
00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:46,199
Speaker 1: really well. We're rounding this edition of otpques out with

496
00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:49,159
Speaker 1: a final question that you might not have an answer to,

497
00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:50,680
Speaker 1: Mike Keith, but we're going to give it a shot.

498
00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:53,560
Speaker 1: I'll make one up. I know you will. Will fans

499
00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:56,240
Speaker 1: be allowed at training camp? I want to go to camp,

500
00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:59,159
Speaker 1: but I keep hearing about construction. I think it's a

501
00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:02,040
Speaker 1: long shot because I don't see how you're gonna do

502
00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:05,840
Speaker 1: it at St. Thomas Sports Park. Will there be some

503
00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:11,840
Speaker 1: opportunities at Nissan Stadium That feels more likely, but not

504
00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:15,600
Speaker 1: what people have been used to at St. Thomas Sports

505
00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:19,399
Speaker 1: Park because Amy Adams Trunk is building the new building

506
00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:23,240
Speaker 1: and the old building which is being retrofitted, and the

507
00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:26,639
Speaker 1: majority of that will be used by football staff and

508
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:29,440
Speaker 1: football players and football team, and then the new building,

509
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:32,800
Speaker 1: which we will move into at some point, but it's

510
00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:36,160
Speaker 1: not going to be complete by the start of training camp.

511
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:38,800
Speaker 1: And Jim Wyatt has alluded to this in his columns

512
00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:42,000
Speaker 1: as well at Tennessee Titans dot com. If you're thinking

513
00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:44,520
Speaker 1: about how it's always been that you could come to

514
00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:47,240
Speaker 1: practice at Saint Thomas Sports Park, I don't see how

515
00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:51,360
Speaker 1: that happens in twenty twenty one. And that's just my opinion.

516
00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:55,840
Speaker 1: That's not official yet, but I don't think that's this year,

517
00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:58,480
Speaker 1: and maybe we'll go back to that. It's it's not

518
00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:02,520
Speaker 1: about COVID, it's not about it. It's truly about just

519
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:06,560
Speaker 1: the logistics of where cranes are and where dump trucks are,

520
00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:11,320
Speaker 1: and where gravel is and fencing and pipe and it's

521
00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:14,160
Speaker 1: a full construction it's a full construction site. It really

522
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:18,800
Speaker 1: really is. Mike Keith, This concludes the questions from the

523
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:22,280
Speaker 1: OT people. The OT people are wonderful. Tell them how

524
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:26,600
Speaker 1: they can ask questions weekend, week out and we will

525
00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:33,120
Speaker 1: gather them more. Tennessee Titans dot Com slash otpq Tennessee

526
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:36,760
Speaker 1: Titans dot com slash otpq. That is where the form

527
00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:40,120
Speaker 1: is to submit the questions. I check it all the time.

528
00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:42,240
Speaker 1: I just want to know what people are kind of

529
00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:46,080
Speaker 1: talking about and what questions they have. So love seeing

530
00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:49,800
Speaker 1: your questions, love putting them all together and getting some answers.

531
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:52,760
Speaker 1: Question for you, what did you think of Julio Jones'

532
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:56,440
Speaker 1: choice of number two? I love it, and I loved

533
00:29:56,480 --> 00:30:00,480
Speaker 1: his explanation about A J. Brown being eleven, so one

534
00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:04,160
Speaker 1: plus one is two and two times eleven is twenty two.

535
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:06,480
Speaker 1: He wanted the three of them to be a little

536
00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:09,880
Speaker 1: numerical set, and I thought that was so nice. I

537
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:11,800
Speaker 1: loved it. I you know, I love it. I was

538
00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:14,840
Speaker 1: just sorry. I was just so happy it wasn't eighty two.

539
00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:18,080
Speaker 1: It's eighty two is an ugly number. Two is a

540
00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:21,480
Speaker 1: great looking number. Yeah, I mean for him because he

541
00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:24,800
Speaker 1: was eighted Alabama, and he could have taken eight because

542
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:28,960
Speaker 1: James Smith, the rookie, undrafted potter, would have, you know,

543
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:31,320
Speaker 1: done whatever you would have given it, so you could

544
00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:33,520
Speaker 1: have done that. But eighty. When I heard eighty two

545
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:35,959
Speaker 1: was his high school number, I'm like, oh, that's awful.

546
00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:39,600
Speaker 1: Please Lulio Jones in eighty two, No, that would have

547
00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:43,760
Speaker 1: been terrible. I would have had words. I don't think

548
00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:46,320
Speaker 1: I care about my words, but I would have had them.

549
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:48,760
Speaker 1: I like to. I liked to. I think it looks

550
00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:51,440
Speaker 1: great looking at it on the practice field. You know,

551
00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:54,360
Speaker 1: I talk about ugly numbers and good numbers. Two is

552
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:57,520
Speaker 1: a great on him especially. It looks great. It does

553
00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:01,200
Speaker 1: it does, yes, people to buy a jersey. You know

554
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:03,440
Speaker 1: what else I like too is Rhet Brian, our good

555
00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:08,320
Speaker 1: friend from Titans Radio, has already dubbed Tannehill, Jones, Brown

556
00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:11,400
Speaker 1: and Henry as the four Horsemen. I like that a lot.

557
00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:14,680
Speaker 1: I like it too. I think it's a cool theme. Yeah,

558
00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:16,920
Speaker 1: it's a I like that. We should ride with it

559
00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:21,000
Speaker 1: all a look at you, Yeah, but really we should.

560
00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:23,600
Speaker 1: I think it's neat. Yeah. And because of that with
