1 00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:08,240 Speaker 1: This is the OTP. 2 00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:12,559 Speaker 2: I'm Amy Wells and we are joined today by Taylor Zarzar. 3 00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:14,480 Speaker 1: Taylor, it's so good to have you here. 4 00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:18,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, there's so much to talk about as the Titans 5 00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:21,480 Speaker 2: are getting ready to take on the Seattle Seahawks at 6 00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:25,840 Speaker 2: Nissan Stadium. Kickoff is at noon, which we love. It's 7 00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:28,640 Speaker 2: fixing to be a beautiful day, it looks like it, 8 00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:32,800 Speaker 2: which I'm really excited about. Back to back lovely days. 9 00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:37,920 Speaker 2: But folly, Nashville is just the best. And I've said 10 00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:40,280 Speaker 2: that everywhere, but like I feel like we're getting a 11 00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:41,040 Speaker 2: good dose of it. 12 00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:43,760 Speaker 3: We are. We are getting some rain this week, but 13 00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:46,760 Speaker 3: we'll get this out of there and we will have 14 00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:51,879 Speaker 3: a beautiful forecast for you on the Pinnacle Sidelines on Sunday. 15 00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:55,840 Speaker 2: Yes, well, I know we don't want to linger on 16 00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:57,600 Speaker 2: it too much because it's been a while now, but 17 00:00:57,680 --> 00:00:59,960 Speaker 2: since we have you here, I do want to talk 18 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:03,160 Speaker 2: little bit about the Titans matchup against the Texans, because 19 00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:06,200 Speaker 2: while the Titans didn't get the win that they were 20 00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:08,720 Speaker 2: ultimately looking for, there were a lot of good things 21 00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:09,880 Speaker 2: that came out of that game. 22 00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:11,640 Speaker 1: So I would like to get one. 23 00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:16,120 Speaker 2: Or two of your just overall thoughts or reactions to 24 00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:20,880 Speaker 2: that game that the Titans had that really, we all 25 00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:23,119 Speaker 2: kind of walked away going, Okay. 26 00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:26,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, it wouldn't be just one emotion, it'd be a 27 00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:29,440 Speaker 3: number of them. Okay, certainly heartbreak would be at the 28 00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:31,959 Speaker 3: top of the list. I love the fact that the 29 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:35,600 Speaker 3: Titans have had chances to win these games, legitimate chance 30 00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:38,720 Speaker 3: to beat the Chargers, and you walked away from it saying, gosh, 31 00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:40,720 Speaker 3: if they just would have punched it into the end 32 00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:44,279 Speaker 3: zone and scored and then not given up a ninety 33 00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:47,280 Speaker 3: nine yard scoring drive, they really could have should have 34 00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:50,160 Speaker 3: won the game. And then there were more feelings like 35 00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:53,040 Speaker 3: that in this one, Amy that man, the Titans had 36 00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:55,680 Speaker 3: a number of chances to win the game, which is 37 00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:58,960 Speaker 3: better than getting blown out and getting dominated and not 38 00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:01,720 Speaker 3: having any chance to the game, and you know, the 39 00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:04,880 Speaker 3: fourth quarter feels like, Okay, the game's gotten away from you. 40 00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:08,680 Speaker 3: So it was nice to be in the fight for 41 00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:11,600 Speaker 3: sixty minutes, but it was heartbreaking that a guy that 42 00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:14,799 Speaker 3: kicked for you a month ago in a backup role, 43 00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:18,239 Speaker 3: Matthew Wright kicks the game winner the third and sixteen 44 00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:21,200 Speaker 3: that the Titans gave up on that last drive. Those 45 00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:25,160 Speaker 3: were heartbreaking, but to your point, there were some real 46 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:28,680 Speaker 3: signs in this game to me, starting with our quarterback, 47 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:32,400 Speaker 3: our rookie quarterback cam Ward leading the team on a 48 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:36,120 Speaker 3: ninety five yard scoring drive in the fourth quarter, When 49 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:41,119 Speaker 3: Calvin Ridley has this terrible season ending injury, when Chim 50 00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:44,040 Speaker 3: Dka had to leave the game, when Elki o'mannor got 51 00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:48,000 Speaker 3: banged up. You're down so many pieces, and your quarterback 52 00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:52,640 Speaker 3: was sensational on that last drive, utilizing Gunner Helm using 53 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:56,680 Speaker 3: his legs, throwing an absolute seed down the field on 54 00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,240 Speaker 3: third and long to chick A Conquo to set up 55 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:03,280 Speaker 3: the game, eyeing touchdown to Van Jefferson. All those things 56 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:09,080 Speaker 3: are really good signs, and so that was extremely promising 57 00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:13,840 Speaker 3: to me. The other thing would be really without With 58 00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,800 Speaker 3: the exception of a quarter or so, we have not 59 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:20,799 Speaker 3: seen to and Andre Sweat and Jeffrey Simmons line up 60 00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:24,600 Speaker 3: next to each other on the Titans defensive line for 61 00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:28,600 Speaker 3: an entire game. I remember the Patriots game and you 62 00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:32,120 Speaker 3: getting on the microphone and saying, jeff Simmons is banged 63 00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:34,840 Speaker 3: up at the beginning of the game, and and to 64 00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:37,240 Speaker 3: get him back in the game, playing at such a 65 00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:40,760 Speaker 3: Pro Bowl level next to such a really good interior 66 00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:45,200 Speaker 3: defensive lineman and sweat that allowed arden Key, who came back, 67 00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,240 Speaker 3: to have two sacks. It allows Cedric Gray to have 68 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:51,800 Speaker 3: double digit tackles again. Cody Barton had a huge play 69 00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:54,080 Speaker 3: to get off the field in the first quarter. So 70 00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:58,200 Speaker 3: Denard Wilson's defense I thought played extremely well shut out 71 00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:01,440 Speaker 3: the Texans in the first half. There were some really 72 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:04,280 Speaker 3: good signs I saw from the defense, and there were 73 00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:06,680 Speaker 3: some really good signs I saw from our rookie quarterback. 74 00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:11,320 Speaker 3: So with all that being said, I firmly believe the 75 00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:13,680 Speaker 3: Titans are going to win some games here on out, 76 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 3: and I think they're going to put themselves in position 77 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:17,640 Speaker 3: to win games on a weekly basis. 78 00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 2: You had started the broadcast against the Texans talking about 79 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:24,760 Speaker 2: how you were hoping that we were going to see 80 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,239 Speaker 2: Cam do a little bit more running, using his legs 81 00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:29,280 Speaker 2: a little bit more, and that's exactly what happened. He 82 00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:31,800 Speaker 2: had thirty three rushing yards, which was the most that 83 00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:35,239 Speaker 2: he had had since Week four, So we really saw 84 00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:38,200 Speaker 2: him moving a little bit more, and it. 85 00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:41,000 Speaker 1: Just creates different options for the offense. 86 00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:44,359 Speaker 3: Right, it does, and it creates different options for the 87 00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:48,280 Speaker 3: offense amy but it also forces the secondary of the opposition, 88 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:51,400 Speaker 3: and the Texans, in my opinion, have the best I mean, 89 00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:53,880 Speaker 3: statistically they have the best defense in the NFL. Yeah, 90 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:55,680 Speaker 3: I think they are. I think they're the best defense 91 00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:57,560 Speaker 3: in the National Football League. Just I think that's what 92 00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:00,440 Speaker 3: your eyes tell you. That's what coach Max Eyes tell you. 93 00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:05,000 Speaker 3: And when you take off four different times like he 94 00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:08,200 Speaker 3: did in the game, that means that the safeties have 95 00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:10,360 Speaker 3: to play you different on every play. This guy could 96 00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:14,000 Speaker 3: take off. We can't just go double an outside receiver 97 00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:16,360 Speaker 3: here down the field. We have to pay attention to 98 00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:19,040 Speaker 3: this quarterback he might take off. So it does it 99 00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 3: changes the way that the defense has to play you, 100 00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:23,960 Speaker 3: and I think it'll change. And I think the Seahawks 101 00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:27,479 Speaker 3: will watch that and they'll say, we have to be 102 00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,920 Speaker 3: mindful that this guy could take off. So yeah, I've 103 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:34,360 Speaker 3: wanted to see that. I think instinctually it's been hard 104 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:37,839 Speaker 3: for Cam because that guy has a howitzer for an 105 00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:41,360 Speaker 3: arm and he wants to make every throw. But as 106 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:43,800 Speaker 3: he's been coaching, and he would tell you, I got 107 00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:47,080 Speaker 3: to take off, and the fact that his instincts told 108 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:49,560 Speaker 3: him take off, I think is a really good sign 109 00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:50,520 Speaker 3: for the rest of the season. 110 00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,400 Speaker 2: Let's talk about the wide receivers a little bit because 111 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:57,240 Speaker 2: going forward into this matchoff match up with the Seahawks, 112 00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:00,480 Speaker 2: there's a little bit of a question mark there in 113 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:04,440 Speaker 2: that group because there's a lot of injuries. That room 114 00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:08,159 Speaker 2: has been just wrecked with the injury bug right now, 115 00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:12,080 Speaker 2: it is rampant in there. So Calvin Ridley breaks his legs, 116 00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:16,080 Speaker 2: season ending injury, he's done. Bryce Oliver was moved to 117 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:19,920 Speaker 2: injured reserve earlier this week. Elic Io Manner is battling 118 00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:21,400 Speaker 2: a hamstring injury. 119 00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:22,360 Speaker 1: Good news. 120 00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:25,440 Speaker 2: Chim ray Dka, who we thought could have a concussion, 121 00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:25,800 Speaker 2: does not. 122 00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 1: He is fine. 123 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:29,880 Speaker 2: He's battling a little bit of a chess contusion, but 124 00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:31,760 Speaker 2: like seems to be okay. 125 00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:36,159 Speaker 1: So that's a great sign. But holy smokes. 126 00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:38,680 Speaker 2: Tz, what are we gonna do at the wide receiver position? 127 00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:41,880 Speaker 3: Well, and I like how you just laid all that out. 128 00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:46,320 Speaker 3: I've been watching Jim practice this week and it paid 129 00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:49,480 Speaker 3: close attention to him on Wednesday and Thursday. This guy 130 00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:52,640 Speaker 3: is a warrior and he's everything you'd want. And like 131 00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:55,640 Speaker 3: you said, I think he'll be fine to go on 132 00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:57,560 Speaker 3: Sunday and be able to play at a high level. 133 00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:00,520 Speaker 3: So that's huge that you get him out there. Van 134 00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:03,280 Speaker 3: Jefferson has had an increased role as the season has 135 00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:06,200 Speaker 3: gone along, and he's really played well. I've had a 136 00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:09,920 Speaker 3: chance to spend some time with Van on the practice 137 00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:12,080 Speaker 3: field and he came up to me a couple weeks 138 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:14,400 Speaker 3: ago and he said, Hey, man, I love how you 139 00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:17,640 Speaker 3: always say Brentwood Tennessee's Van Jefferson. I said, can you 140 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:19,400 Speaker 3: hear that? He goes, no, it's gotten back to me 141 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:21,640 Speaker 3: and I was like nice, because I mean, the guy 142 00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:24,080 Speaker 3: gets to play at home for the first time in 143 00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:27,280 Speaker 3: his career. His dad obviously was connected to the Titans 144 00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:31,800 Speaker 3: and he grew up here, but him playing at a 145 00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:35,600 Speaker 3: higher level is huge for the Titans. I would watch 146 00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:40,400 Speaker 3: out for two guys this week. James Proshe, who we've 147 00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 3: seen quite a bit of so far this season. I 148 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:46,160 Speaker 3: would look for him to be a real factor, maybe 149 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:50,559 Speaker 3: catching interior routes from Cam this week. And another guy's 150 00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:55,040 Speaker 3: Mason Kinsey. Mason is somebody that is a really good 151 00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:57,720 Speaker 3: special teamer. He's a guy that you can find all 152 00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:02,480 Speaker 3: over the field, and we saw Cam try to find 153 00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:05,040 Speaker 3: him down the field a couple of times. They're going 154 00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:07,080 Speaker 3: to get more reps in practice, and I think their 155 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:09,840 Speaker 3: timing will improve this week, so I'd watch out for 156 00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:14,640 Speaker 3: those guys. But you're right, it's that's been you know, 157 00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:17,360 Speaker 3: Jeff getting banged up, Arden getting banged up, Missing time 158 00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:20,400 Speaker 3: on defense hurts, JC Latham missing time on offense earlier 159 00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:23,360 Speaker 3: this season hurt. But you're right. As a with a 160 00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:27,640 Speaker 3: rookie quarterback, ideally, you'd really like to see some stability 161 00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:30,640 Speaker 3: at the wide receiver position. In all season. The Titans 162 00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:33,480 Speaker 3: have been banged up with that group, So hopefully all 163 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:36,560 Speaker 3: these guys get through this game unscathed and can play 164 00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:37,240 Speaker 3: at a high level. 165 00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:39,320 Speaker 2: For Cam, talk to me about the tight ends group 166 00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:41,679 Speaker 2: a little bit and how we can lean on them, 167 00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:45,320 Speaker 2: yes to kind of fill the void but also make 168 00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:46,400 Speaker 2: an impact in their own right. 169 00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:48,079 Speaker 3: Well, I'm glad that you mentioned that because I was 170 00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:50,120 Speaker 3: going to go there. I didn't want to sell the 171 00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:53,360 Speaker 3: receivers short, but I wanted to go there. And I 172 00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:56,280 Speaker 3: think that Gunnerhelm is now a starting tight end in 173 00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:59,240 Speaker 3: the National Football League. And what you're going to see 174 00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:01,319 Speaker 3: a lot of Amy is you're gonna see a lot 175 00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:03,880 Speaker 3: of Gunner and chig a Conko on the field at 176 00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:06,520 Speaker 3: the same time. You're gonna see two tight ends out there. 177 00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:07,920 Speaker 3: We've seen it quite a bit, but I think you're 178 00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:11,800 Speaker 3: gonna see it even more now moving forward. And you know, 179 00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:15,640 Speaker 3: Chig is the leading receiver. He has thirty two catches 180 00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:19,240 Speaker 3: this season for the Titans, and Gunner has twenty four. 181 00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:22,680 Speaker 3: I think in these next few weeks it wouldn't surprise 182 00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:25,560 Speaker 3: me if those guys lead the team in receiving. And 183 00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:28,440 Speaker 3: I think that you'll see Cam look their way a lot. 184 00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:31,520 Speaker 3: Chick is a guy that's caught more than fifty balls 185 00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:34,000 Speaker 3: every year he's played in the league. Had a massive 186 00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:37,800 Speaker 3: catch obviously in this last game against the Texans. I'm 187 00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:40,480 Speaker 3: just telling you, gunner Helm is this This guy is 188 00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:44,320 Speaker 3: the real deal. We had some really good picks and 189 00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:47,840 Speaker 3: throughout the end the draft that Mike Woorgonzi in his 190 00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:51,720 Speaker 3: front office selected this year, and I really think none 191 00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:53,599 Speaker 3: better than gunner Helm in the fourth round of the 192 00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:54,760 Speaker 3: University of Texas. 193 00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:56,680 Speaker 2: Well, you had a chance to sit down and talk 194 00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:59,320 Speaker 2: to gunner Helm, and I would love to share that 195 00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:00,480 Speaker 2: with the OT people. 196 00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:02,240 Speaker 1: So here is that. 197 00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:05,880 Speaker 2: Here is your interview Taylor's oarser with rookie tight end 198 00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:06,600 Speaker 2: gunner Helm. 199 00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:10,479 Speaker 3: Good to have a great tight end in the facility 200 00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:13,360 Speaker 3: with us here into the studio. By the way, Gunner 201 00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:17,680 Speaker 3: Helm number eighty four for your Tennessee Titans Gunner. How's 202 00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:19,559 Speaker 3: it being a rookie of the National Football League? 203 00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:25,800 Speaker 4: Has his moments? For sure? I think that's the short answer. Yeah. 204 00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:28,719 Speaker 4: I mean it's it's ups and downs and trying to 205 00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,960 Speaker 4: find your footing and you know, work yourself into a 206 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,880 Speaker 4: new culture, new scheme, new offense around yourself in a 207 00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:38,360 Speaker 4: whole new city with new coaches. So uh, you know, 208 00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:40,400 Speaker 4: there's a there's a fun aspect of it for sure. 209 00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:43,760 Speaker 4: Just learning your way around and figuring things out on 210 00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:44,320 Speaker 4: your own for. 211 00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:46,240 Speaker 3: Once sounds like quite the transition. 212 00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:49,200 Speaker 4: Oh it is, yeah, I mean, play a unique position 213 00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:50,400 Speaker 4: kind of has to do everything. 214 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:54,600 Speaker 3: So definitely is the transition bigger than going from high 215 00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:57,280 Speaker 3: school to college. I mean some say leaving home and 216 00:10:57,320 --> 00:10:59,720 Speaker 3: going to college is the biggest transition you'll ever make 217 00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:03,520 Speaker 3: as a person. Is it even bigger when you're transitioning 218 00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:06,200 Speaker 3: from college to being a professional football player? 219 00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:08,720 Speaker 4: I would say off the field for sure. You know, 220 00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:10,680 Speaker 4: on the field, like I said, such a unique position. 221 00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:12,520 Speaker 4: Not a lot of guys block in high school when 222 00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:15,120 Speaker 4: they play tight end. It's kind of all flexed out, 223 00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:19,880 Speaker 4: you know, playing in a pro style offense under coach Sark. 224 00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:22,640 Speaker 4: It was more you know, hand in the dirt and 225 00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:25,400 Speaker 4: I probably had been doing but off the field, you know, 226 00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:28,320 Speaker 4: paying your own rent, got to take care of yourself 227 00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:31,400 Speaker 4: as opposed to being in dorms or you know, having 228 00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:32,320 Speaker 4: stipends every month. 229 00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:35,480 Speaker 3: So yeah, it is it's a big transition for sure. 230 00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:38,600 Speaker 3: It's interesting what you just said about blocking. There are 231 00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:41,040 Speaker 3: a lot of people that are watching you practice each 232 00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:43,319 Speaker 3: day that are saying, hey, man, look at Gunner. He's 233 00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:45,719 Speaker 3: a good blocker. Did you know that you were this 234 00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:46,520 Speaker 3: good of a blocker. 235 00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:50,200 Speaker 4: Yeah, I try to tell people, but I mean last 236 00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:53,360 Speaker 4: season probably didn't help me, didn't back me up. You know. 237 00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:55,720 Speaker 4: I think I relied so much on the fact that 238 00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:59,120 Speaker 4: I needed to work on becoming a you know, seam 239 00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:02,360 Speaker 4: stretcher and having my presence in the passing game that 240 00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:04,000 Speaker 4: I think the blocking kind of took a back seat. 241 00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:06,880 Speaker 4: But the misconception is that, you know, I was our 242 00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:10,280 Speaker 4: starting live for three years, including my freshman season at Texas, 243 00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:13,000 Speaker 4: so a lot under my belt, played against a lot 244 00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:14,760 Speaker 4: of really good teams, played a lot of football in 245 00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:17,160 Speaker 4: college with my hand in the dirt block, in the 246 00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:19,319 Speaker 4: front side of power and gap scheme and zone. 247 00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:23,240 Speaker 3: So you talked about all that experience you had at Texas. 248 00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:28,079 Speaker 3: You caught zero passes as a freshman, zero five as 249 00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:32,000 Speaker 3: a sophomore's right, fourteen as a junior. So you have 250 00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:37,240 Speaker 3: nineteen catches in three years of college football, sixty as 251 00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:38,920 Speaker 3: a senior. What happened? 252 00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:42,679 Speaker 4: Got my shot, I mean to say the least, but 253 00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:46,000 Speaker 4: you know, just continuing to take a step forward, trusting 254 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:49,120 Speaker 4: the process. You know, I'd always get told by Coach Banks, 255 00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:53,000 Speaker 4: Coach Mike Bamonte, and coach Sark, just trust process. Your 256 00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:56,400 Speaker 4: time is coming, Your time is coming. You know, Leaving 257 00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:58,160 Speaker 4: never really crossed my mind at all. You know, I 258 00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:02,040 Speaker 4: know that there's no so to say, get rich quick scheme. 259 00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:05,360 Speaker 4: So you know, the development aspect was just part of 260 00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:10,719 Speaker 4: part of my process. And you know, obviously with the 261 00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:13,280 Speaker 4: new era college football, you're expected to come in and play. 262 00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:15,560 Speaker 4: I don't think they expected me to come in and 263 00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:17,920 Speaker 4: play right away. But like I said, got my shot 264 00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:20,760 Speaker 4: my freshman year, did what I did in the run game, 265 00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:23,600 Speaker 4: try to help out wherever I could, and then for 266 00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:25,400 Speaker 4: two seasons I was behind a really good tight endit 267 00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:28,600 Speaker 4: Davian Sanders, who's up in Carolina now learned a lot 268 00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:30,120 Speaker 4: from him. I think he learned a lot from me. 269 00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:33,680 Speaker 4: We kind of complimented each other well. And then you know, 270 00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:35,800 Speaker 4: had a meeting with my tight ends coach going into 271 00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:37,319 Speaker 4: my senior season. I said, look, I want to play 272 00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:40,000 Speaker 4: in the NFL. I have these tools. What do I 273 00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:41,640 Speaker 4: need to improve on? How can I be our starting 274 00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:43,400 Speaker 4: tight end? How can I, you know, so to say, 275 00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:47,000 Speaker 4: help this team win football games in the SEC And 276 00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:48,760 Speaker 4: you just kind of laid it straight out for me. 277 00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:50,360 Speaker 4: He said, you need to work on your speed, you 278 00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:52,240 Speaker 4: need to work on your get off, you need to 279 00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:56,760 Speaker 4: master the why receiving tree, and you need to be 280 00:13:56,760 --> 00:14:00,719 Speaker 4: a vertical seam stretcher. So took that went straight down 281 00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:03,920 Speaker 4: and my strength coach kind of had the same conversation 282 00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:06,120 Speaker 4: with him. You get stronger in your lower body, your 283 00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:08,360 Speaker 4: upper body lack strength. You know, you got to do this. 284 00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:09,960 Speaker 4: You gotta work on your vert you got to do that. 285 00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:15,319 Speaker 4: You gotta do this. So really created a plan off 286 00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:18,440 Speaker 4: the field on the field and you know, worked at 287 00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:20,240 Speaker 4: it throughout the summer and then hit the ground running 288 00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:21,440 Speaker 4: when when Game one came. 289 00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:24,600 Speaker 3: Around, I guess, so a great year. I was privileged 290 00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:27,440 Speaker 3: to call a couple of those games, including the win 291 00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:31,080 Speaker 3: against Clemson in Austin last year in the first round, 292 00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:33,840 Speaker 3: which I know was certainly a special moment for you. 293 00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:36,840 Speaker 3: So then the season ends, so you've gone through this process, 294 00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:39,800 Speaker 3: You've asked everybody how can I get better? What did 295 00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:42,320 Speaker 3: you do when the season ended? And who did you 296 00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:44,800 Speaker 3: talk to and say what do I need to do 297 00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:46,640 Speaker 3: next in order to get drafted. 298 00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:51,040 Speaker 4: Jeremy Holt and my agent, Jack Beckto, he set it 299 00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:54,520 Speaker 4: up real nice for us down here. Throughout the training process. 300 00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:58,200 Speaker 4: Jeremy Holt, my trainer here, has had guys like you know, 301 00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:02,360 Speaker 4: George Kittle, Sam Laporto, Jake fur Tucker Craft, Dan Bellinger, 302 00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:05,200 Speaker 4: so pretty good pedigree when you talk about the tight 303 00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:08,000 Speaker 4: end position, they have it down to a science. And 304 00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:10,480 Speaker 4: then we had guys like Jordan Matthews come in and 305 00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:13,520 Speaker 4: really teach us football, kind of raise our IQ. So 306 00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:16,960 Speaker 4: you know, we had kind of all aspects of the 307 00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:19,560 Speaker 4: tight end game kind of broken down while we were training. 308 00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:22,000 Speaker 4: And that was such a big poll and such a 309 00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:23,520 Speaker 4: big deal for me coming down. 310 00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:27,240 Speaker 3: Here and that that program is based in Nashville. 311 00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:29,240 Speaker 4: It is, yes, sir, Yeah, Lipscomb High School. 312 00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:33,119 Speaker 3: Yeah, so you're over at Lipscomb Academy working out in Nashville, 313 00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:36,560 Speaker 3: and no one knows, including yourself, that you were about 314 00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:37,440 Speaker 3: to live in Nashville. 315 00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:39,520 Speaker 4: Yeah, it was pretty unbelievable, but it was so great. 316 00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:41,560 Speaker 4: When I got drafted here, I already had, you know, 317 00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:44,520 Speaker 4: the person I go to to get IVS, all my 318 00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:47,000 Speaker 4: recovery things.

What 378 00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:19,600 Speaker 3: is it like being a Tennessee Titan Gunner? 379 00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:22,679 Speaker 4: I mean, the first thing that comes to mind is 380 00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:25,240 Speaker 4: just a tremendous honor just to you know, wear the 381 00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:28,920 Speaker 4: two tone blue. Truly, not a day goes by where 382 00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:32,359 Speaker 4: I take it for granted. You know, I may be 383 00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:34,440 Speaker 4: pretty mellow when I'm in the facility. That's just kind 384 00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:38,360 Speaker 4: of how people know me. But I mean it's just sometimes, 385 00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:41,680 Speaker 4: you know, I'd dang near pinch myself just just being 386 00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:45,639 Speaker 4: in this buildings. It's wild, man, It's just it's just 387 00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:50,359 Speaker 4: completely wild living your dream. I mean, I wouldn't give 388 00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:51,040 Speaker 4: it up for the world. 389 00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:53,639 Speaker 3: You've had some big moments, score touchdown in the National 390 00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:56,879 Speaker 3: Football League. Cam Ward has found you a lot. Recently, 391 00:18:57,480 --> 00:18:59,760 Speaker 3: you talked about the improvement you made as a senior 392 00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:02,840 Speaker 3: led to those sixty catches as a senior in college. 393 00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:05,439 Speaker 3: How would you compare the improvement you made as a 394 00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:08,080 Speaker 3: senior in college to the improvement you've made as a 395 00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:08,959 Speaker 3: rookie in the NFL. 396 00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:13,080 Speaker 4: I mean, being just a complete player is obviously what 397 00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:15,280 Speaker 4: you want at the tight end position. Somebody that can block, 398 00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:17,000 Speaker 4: you know, like I said, the front side of power 399 00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:21,800 Speaker 4: of the zone game, the gap game, and Luke Stalker 400 00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:25,000 Speaker 4: has completely broken that down for me, has completely slowed 401 00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:26,840 Speaker 4: the game down for me, you know, doing it at 402 00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:29,760 Speaker 4: such a high level for such a long time like 403 00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:32,760 Speaker 4: he did everything he says, you know, you better be listening, 404 00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:35,080 Speaker 4: you better write it down. So I've made that kind 405 00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:37,879 Speaker 4: of an emphasis writing that down. And then you know, 406 00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:40,920 Speaker 4: obviously just coming in with a with a franchise quarterback 407 00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:43,960 Speaker 4: is so huge and having him as in your same 408 00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:47,160 Speaker 4: draft class. You know, we got such a strong bond 409 00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:49,359 Speaker 4: in chemistry off the field that it really translates on 410 00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:50,720 Speaker 4: the field. He knows where I'm going to be. I 411 00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:54,080 Speaker 4: know where he's gonna put the football, so working at it. 412 00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:57,320 Speaker 4: When we first came in, you know, we'd come in 413 00:19:57,400 --> 00:20:00,960 Speaker 4: late or we come in early, stay late. Uh. And 414 00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:03,359 Speaker 4: you know that's just how it was in Miami Forum, 415 00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:06,040 Speaker 4: and that's that's exactly how I want it to be here. 416 00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:08,280 Speaker 4: You know, we we we really want a winning culture here. 417 00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:10,800 Speaker 4: We want to win for this city. You know, that's 418 00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:13,520 Speaker 4: our job. So anything that we can do on or 419 00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:14,879 Speaker 4: off the field, that's what Cam and I are going 420 00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:15,119 Speaker 4: to do. 421 00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:17,760 Speaker 3: You mentioned Luke Stocker. He played in the NFL for 422 00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:20,400 Speaker 3: a long time as a tight end was playing played 423 00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:22,080 Speaker 3: for the Tennessee Valls. So he has a lot of 424 00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:25,480 Speaker 3: fans around this area. And I know I've watched you 425 00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:27,600 Speaker 3: in practice. I mean, you think that this guy has 426 00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:29,960 Speaker 3: had a huge impact on your growth this year. 427 00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:33,119 Speaker 4: Yeah. Absolutely, I mean I know he has. Absolutely. I 428 00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:35,440 Speaker 4: mean when I came in, you know, from from where 429 00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:37,320 Speaker 4: I was, you know, my first day of OTAs, when 430 00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:39,200 Speaker 4: we're at the vets to where I am now, it's 431 00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:41,840 Speaker 4: just night and day. He's just allowed me to play, 432 00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:43,920 Speaker 4: you know, free, allow me to play with so much confidence. 433 00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:46,480 Speaker 4: Like I said, slow the game down, teach me things 434 00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:48,800 Speaker 4: and the not only in the run blocking game, but 435 00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:50,440 Speaker 4: just you know, the receiving game. Two. 436 00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:53,440 Speaker 3: What would you want all Titans fans to know about 437 00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:54,640 Speaker 3: their quarterback? Cam Ward? 438 00:20:55,640 --> 00:21:00,000 Speaker 4: He's a competitor. He hates losing more than he likes winning. 439 00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:00,399 Speaker 3: Mm. 440 00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:05,439 Speaker 4: You know he wants obviously. You know, he's part of 441 00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:07,840 Speaker 4: a what I think is a very special rookie class. 442 00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:11,480 Speaker 4: And you know, our job, our goal is to get 443 00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:14,320 Speaker 4: it turned around. And you know, be what the Titans 444 00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:16,200 Speaker 4: were five years ago. 445 00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:19,000 Speaker 3: The last couple of years, you've been on a big 446 00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:22,360 Speaker 3: time winner that had a chance to win a national championship. 447 00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:23,960 Speaker 3: How badly do you want to win? 448 00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:28,280 Speaker 4: Yeah? Like I said about cam I mean, I I 449 00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:30,600 Speaker 4: hate losing more than I like winning. I truly do. 450 00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:31,600 Speaker 3: Uh. 451 00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:34,000 Speaker 4: You know that's just a competitor in me. That's how 452 00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:37,199 Speaker 4: I've always been. But you know, I went into a 453 00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:39,800 Speaker 4: i would say, pretty broken Texas culture as a freshman 454 00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:45,000 Speaker 4: and helped turn it around to coach Sark's vision, became 455 00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:48,240 Speaker 4: a lot more player led, was on leadership council. So 456 00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:50,480 Speaker 4: that's exactly what I plan to do here, you know, 457 00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:52,600 Speaker 4: from a from being a young player in the National 458 00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:57,359 Speaker 4: Football League, kind of getting my confidence up, you know, 459 00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:00,680 Speaker 4: kind of establishing myself in this league and ultimately helping 460 00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:01,919 Speaker 4: turn this team's culture around. 461 00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:05,440 Speaker 3: Let's finish with some fun rapid fire questions.

Otherwise Donald's gonna look 681 00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:16,880 Speaker 3: for Number eleven, Jackson Smith and Jigba over and over 682 00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:20,480 Speaker 3: and over again. So we need Ardent Key and Jeff 683 00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:22,760 Speaker 3: Simmons and to Andandre Sweat and the rest of our 684 00:33:22,760 --> 00:33:25,200 Speaker 3: guys Sebastian Joseph Day to be in the backfield get 685 00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:26,400 Speaker 3: some pressure on Sam. 686 00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:30,040 Speaker 2: Speaking of pressure, this Seahawks defense has the fourth highest 687 00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:32,200 Speaker 2: pressure rate in the NFL. So we're going from one 688 00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:35,560 Speaker 2: great defense to another great defense. Another big challenge for 689 00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:36,480 Speaker 2: the Titans this week. 690 00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:39,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, and you know they are they are getting they're 691 00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:43,840 Speaker 3: getting really good pressure, and they're also they're playing complimentary football. 692 00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:46,800 Speaker 3: They're they're very good against the pass, and they're very 693 00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:50,600 Speaker 3: good against the run. Now, a lot of it's it's 694 00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:54,400 Speaker 3: interesting because Mike McDaniel is the head coach of the 695 00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:57,320 Speaker 3: Miami Dolphins and the head coach of the Seattle Seahawks 696 00:33:57,320 --> 00:33:59,000 Speaker 3: is Mike McDonald. 697 00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:01,200 Speaker 1: And no, he can keep that straight. 698 00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:05,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, McDonald. Do you know that they had won seven 699 00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:09,839 Speaker 3: consecutive road games before this last week against LA They've 700 00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:12,319 Speaker 3: only lost two road games. This is his second year 701 00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:14,799 Speaker 3: and they've only lost two road games in his time there. 702 00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:18,440 Speaker 3: Whoa the last two years. They're way better on the 703 00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:21,400 Speaker 3: road than they are at home so, and they also 704 00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:24,680 Speaker 3: are very good at ten am Pacific time. So a 705 00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:26,960 Speaker 3: lot of these teams have a hard time coming over 706 00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:31,879 Speaker 3: here when they're playing West Coast teams that is. But yeah, 707 00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:34,320 Speaker 3: this is gonna be a big test for the Titans 708 00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:38,400 Speaker 3: on Sunday with sam Donold and Jackson Smith and Jigbaw 709 00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:43,080 Speaker 3: and a really solid defense in every phase. I don't 710 00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:45,160 Speaker 3: think that you're you know, we'll play a lot of 711 00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:47,239 Speaker 3: teams as you already have. Like last year, we have 712 00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:49,959 Speaker 3: these two. Last week, rather we have these two great 713 00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:53,200 Speaker 3: pass rushers. The rest of the Texans defense, you know, 714 00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:56,920 Speaker 3: you those are the highlights, those two guys. This Seattle 715 00:34:57,000 --> 00:34:59,759 Speaker 3: defense is just filled with a really good first team 716 00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:03,480 Speaker 3: defen so, but on the on the offensive side, they 717 00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:06,480 Speaker 3: do have some stars at quarterback and wide receiver. So 718 00:35:06,520 --> 00:35:08,160 Speaker 3: this will be a big test for the Titans. But 719 00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:11,000 Speaker 3: I'm telling you, Amy, I mean against teams that have 720 00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:14,239 Speaker 3: good records, We've seen the Titans compete, and we've seen 721 00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:17,200 Speaker 3: them fight for sixty minutes. And I'm telling you they're 722 00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:19,320 Speaker 3: going to ruin somebody's Thanksgiving and then they're going to 723 00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:21,799 Speaker 3: ruin somebody's Christmas. And I'm excited to watch it. 724 00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:22,920 Speaker 1: I can't wait. 725 00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:27,160 Speaker 2: The Titans take on the Seattle Seahawks the Seattle Seahawks 726 00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:30,520 Speaker 2: at Nyson Stadium this Sunday.
