I mean, 0:00:58.960 --> 0:01:01.920 here we go do this. I just love seeing everybody 0:01:01.920 --> 0:01:04.240 in person again. It didn't nice, No, it's great. I 0:01:04.240 --> 0:01:06.000 mean you know these I mean this is this is 0:01:06.040 --> 0:01:08.800 a cool group and I miss cool groups. I like 0:01:08.920 --> 0:01:12.000 being with cool groups. Ashley Farrell, You're also part of 0:01:12.000 --> 0:01:13.640 that group. I know you can't say anything, but I'm 0:01:13.640 --> 0:01:16.160 glad you're here too. She can say all kinds of stuff. 0:01:16.160 --> 0:01:20.080 We just want people to hear it. Okay. But Ashley Farrell, 0:01:20.120 --> 0:01:23.360 for those who don't know, runs the show for us 0:01:23.400 --> 0:01:25.759 on the OTP, and we are most appreciative of her 0:01:25.880 --> 0:01:28.920 and the good things that she does. Right, Brian, we 0:01:29.000 --> 0:01:33.160 will be on Titan's radio starting at six Central on 0:01:33.319 --> 0:01:36.560 Thursday night and Friday night all of the first round, 0:01:36.840 --> 0:01:40.240 all of the second and the third round. And how 0:01:40.240 --> 0:01:43.080 many radio stations outside of one oh four five zone 0:01:43.120 --> 0:01:45.960 have picked it up? About another dozen stations along the 0:01:46.040 --> 0:01:50.120 network and in Alabama in Tennessee. I mean, yeah, that's 0:01:50.200 --> 0:01:53.560 it's pretty pretty good stuff. We gotta get our Kentucky 0:01:53.640 --> 0:01:56.640 partners on that, huh. Yes we do. And I'll be 0:01:56.720 --> 0:01:59.600 sending out another email probably in the day or two 0:01:59.640 --> 0:02:02.160 saying a reminder reminder. But yeah, I've had the couple 0:02:02.240 --> 0:02:03.960 just kind of jump on, Hey, I hadn't forgotten you. 0:02:04.280 --> 0:02:10.320 I'm we're in so but yeah, Memphis, Birmingham, Huntsville. Yeah, absolutely. 0:02:10.480 --> 0:02:13.480 People have grown to love the draft. Yes, I mean, 0:02:13.520 --> 0:02:16.520 it's really become a huge thing with our fan base, 0:02:16.639 --> 0:02:20.600 and it should be I mean, it's it's a phenomenon nationwide. 0:02:20.720 --> 0:02:22.720 It really is. I mean, look at what it has 0:02:22.760 --> 0:02:25.360 started out, you know, especially you know when they're at 0:02:25.360 --> 0:02:28.600 the Blackstone Hotel. They're in Chicago years ago, when everybody 0:02:28.680 --> 0:02:31.519 was drafting off a street and Smith's magazine trying to 0:02:31.560 --> 0:02:34.119 figure out who guys were. And it's a cottage industry now, 0:02:34.200 --> 0:02:36.800 I mean, it really is. I mean, and it's it 0:02:36.960 --> 0:02:40.800 is exciting, it's fun. The draft is about hope, but 0:02:40.880 --> 0:02:44.560 the draft is also about an excitement, and especially nowadays 0:02:44.800 --> 0:02:46.720 with free agency in the salary cap, you're going to 0:02:46.800 --> 0:02:50.240 add new players constantly. So it's a very exciting time. 0:02:50.360 --> 0:02:52.840 Before diving into draft, let's talk about some of the 0:02:52.919 --> 0:02:56.720 rules things that the league did earlier this week. Maybe 0:02:56.720 --> 0:03:01.279 the greatest thing Rhet Brian Owners eliminated pre seasoned overtime. 0:03:02.240 --> 0:03:05.320 I will second that by saying it may be the 0:03:05.360 --> 0:03:09.880 greatest modification of the rule book since slice bread became 0:03:09.919 --> 0:03:14.320 a thing. It's the forward pass with my gosh, Holy Moses. 0:03:14.360 --> 0:03:16.959 And this is completely unrelated, but when I think about 0:03:17.200 --> 0:03:19.400 preseason game, I go back to that two thousand and 0:03:19.400 --> 0:03:22.360 four preseason game in Green Bay, the last one against Titans. 0:03:22.400 --> 0:03:24.600 You know at lambeau Field in the lightning delay and 0:03:24.840 --> 0:03:27.880 they couldn't find you know, Commissioner Tagliaboo on the phone, 0:03:27.919 --> 0:03:30.040 he was into Hampton's. Yeah, and it was, you know, 0:03:30.120 --> 0:03:32.640 a nearly two hour delayed before the two minute warning 0:03:32.680 --> 0:03:35.200 of the first half and all that suff and I 0:03:35.280 --> 0:03:38.920 just think about, you know, you grit your teeth silently, 0:03:38.960 --> 0:03:41.160 your own gosh, it's it's knotted up and it's a 0:03:41.160 --> 0:03:45.600 fourth quarter and it's the last preseason. Somebody scores, Somebody something, please, 0:03:45.880 --> 0:03:49.040 This is fantastic. Should have been done a long time ago. Well, 0:03:49.080 --> 0:03:52.840 we played in two thousand and five, I believe it 0:03:53.040 --> 0:03:56.640 was in San Francisco in the preseason. It went to 0:03:56.720 --> 0:04:01.000 the last play of overtime and then we had to 0:04:01.040 --> 0:04:03.520 fly back across the country and it had like a 0:04:03.680 --> 0:04:06.560 nine thirty central kick. Yeah, it was a night game. 0:04:06.720 --> 0:04:08.840 I mean we got back it like six o'clock in 0:04:08.880 --> 0:04:11.280 the morning. Yeah, this is making my stomach hurt. It 0:04:11.320 --> 0:04:14.920 was the old candlestick. And the thing for teams though, 0:04:15.080 --> 0:04:18.080 is it's not just inconvenient for all of us who 0:04:18.120 --> 0:04:21.480 are around it and don't want to see overtime preseason football. 0:04:21.800 --> 0:04:23.760 But you're out of guys at that point. A lot 0:04:23.800 --> 0:04:25.800 of times. I was there at that one that you're 0:04:25.839 --> 0:04:29.159 talking about live and in person. But even before then, 0:04:30.279 --> 0:04:32.880 I'm probably a reason they've got this rule. Now, when 0:04:32.920 --> 0:04:34.800 I was a head coach at Arizona, We're playing a 0:04:34.839 --> 0:04:40.400 preseason game against Seattle and Mike Homegren and I just 0:04:40.480 --> 0:04:43.719 drafted Bill Grammatica all right as a place kicker. And 0:04:43.800 --> 0:04:46.400 it came down to, you know, it was the last 0:04:46.600 --> 0:04:48.960 play where it was about a forty seven yard field 0:04:48.960 --> 0:04:52.040 goal and I could have either kicked the field goal 0:04:52.200 --> 0:04:56.279 and gone into overtime or try to take a snap 0:04:56.320 --> 0:04:59.520 and throw it, and and Homegren was on the other sideline, 0:04:59.640 --> 0:05:03.320 you know, looking at me, going like this, and I mean, 0:05:03.440 --> 0:05:06.960 I just drafted Grammatica. So I sent Grammatica out there, 0:05:06.960 --> 0:05:08.839 and of course he nails it right down the middle, 0:05:09.000 --> 0:05:11.159 and we're going overtime, and Mike Home're gonna after the 0:05:11.200 --> 0:05:14.600 game just looked at messive coach, Seriously, I just drafted 0:05:14.600 --> 0:05:16.120 the dude. You got to use it, I said, I 0:05:16.160 --> 0:05:18.559 just I just drafted the dude. I said, my bad, 0:05:18.880 --> 0:05:22.039 I'm sorry. Look, and then you know, Bill Grammatica paid 0:05:22.040 --> 0:05:24.159 me back by blowing his acl by jumping up and 0:05:24.320 --> 0:05:26.919 celebrating in the New York Giants, so I got paid 0:05:26.920 --> 0:05:30.640 back for that. I remember the story about he made 0:05:30.680 --> 0:05:33.800 a game winning kick or a game tying kick and 0:05:33.960 --> 0:05:37.080 jumping up and down that's when he blew out his ACL. Okay, Mike, now, 0:05:37.120 --> 0:05:39.000 that would have been a better part of the story, Okay, 0:05:39.000 --> 0:05:41.200 to be a game winning or game tying But it 0:05:41.200 --> 0:05:43.680 was in the first quarter, and it was it was 0:05:43.720 --> 0:05:46.280 the first score of the game, and it was in. 0:05:46.400 --> 0:05:48.480 It was in it was an old Giant stadium, as 0:05:48.480 --> 0:05:50.560 you know, when they'd opened the doors going towards the 0:05:50.560 --> 0:05:52.839 doors that were open, and it was a forty three yarder. 0:05:52.920 --> 0:05:55.040 Jim Fossil was the head coach of the other team, 0:05:55.400 --> 0:05:58.160 and so Grammatica nails it. I mean it's a great kick, 0:05:58.279 --> 0:06:00.360 I mean it is. But it's a first quarter, all right, 0:06:00.360 --> 0:06:03.240 we're a head three to nothing. Okay, it's and he 0:06:03.440 --> 0:06:05.560 jumps up. I mean, you know, he's some Argentina so 0:06:05.600 --> 0:06:07.479 they you know how they spin around at soccer and 0:06:07.480 --> 0:06:10.080 all that. He jumped up and came down and just 0:06:10.200 --> 0:06:12.680 blew it. And you know, he hit the ground and 0:06:12.680 --> 0:06:15.000 went down to the ground and then limped off. And 0:06:15.040 --> 0:06:17.480 so now we've kicked the field goal, right, So the 0:06:17.560 --> 0:06:19.640 rules are you got to kick off? Right? And so 0:06:20.560 --> 0:06:22.760 the trainer comes up to me and said, kicker can't 0:06:22.839 --> 0:06:24.599 kick off? And I said why? I said, thank he 0:06:24.640 --> 0:06:27.240 tore as ACL And I said, he what they say, 0:06:27.320 --> 0:06:30.159 tore as a cl? I said, doing what they said? 0:06:30.160 --> 0:06:34.080 Well celebrating? Did you see the celebration? Yes, idea. I thought, 0:06:34.080 --> 0:06:36.440 you know, you're a human athlete. You can't just blow 0:06:36.480 --> 0:06:38.200 your a c all out jump it up and coming down. 0:06:38.279 --> 0:06:40.520 So I went over there to him and I said, 0:06:40.680 --> 0:06:43.360 what can you do? Coach? I think I hurt my knee? 0:06:44.120 --> 0:06:46.760 I said, is your knee hurt? Or did you tear 0:06:46.800 --> 0:06:49.720 your ACL? I don't know. I said, can you kick? No? 0:06:49.960 --> 0:06:52.720 I said, great, that's it, last word I said to him. 0:06:52.960 --> 0:06:55.960 So then ever so then then I went. Then I 0:06:56.000 --> 0:06:58.120 went to the to the our special team's coach and said, 0:06:58.120 --> 0:07:01.080 who we got to kick off? And he said, I 0:07:01.120 --> 0:07:05.920 come screaming down the sideline, Pat Tillman, coach, I can kick? 0:07:06.720 --> 0:07:09.720 I said, Tilly, seriously, you can kick. I told you 0:07:10.080 --> 0:07:12.560 a few words I can't say on the OTP. I 0:07:12.600 --> 0:07:14.920 could kick. And I said, all right, go kick. So 0:07:15.000 --> 0:07:16.760 here's my kicker. The rest of the game. We had 0:07:16.800 --> 0:07:19.040 to go for two. When we scored, I said, can 0:07:19.080 --> 0:07:21.240 you kick an extra point? He said, oh, oh yeah. 0:07:22.000 --> 0:07:24.360 He thought he could do anything, all right, And so 0:07:24.760 --> 0:07:28.240 there's where it was. But he was kicking straight on right, No, 0:07:28.680 --> 0:07:32.600 straight on, I mean just dead straight on lou Grozas style. Okay, 0:07:32.680 --> 0:07:34.600 took off run a kick. It went bouncing around like 0:07:34.640 --> 0:07:36.640 a duck on a sidewalk, you know, you know, just 0:07:36.720 --> 0:07:42.360 bouncing around everywhere down there. But first quarter only Coach 0:07:42.400 --> 0:07:44.640 Mac with the story. This is why you listen to 0:07:44.680 --> 0:07:49.680 the OTP. You got that right, Amy, Wow, that's unbelievable. No, no, 0:07:49.720 --> 0:07:56.440 it's not unbelievable. It had happened. I would never lietv wow. 0:07:56.720 --> 0:07:59.000 I mean, that's a great story. What's a true story. 0:07:59.040 --> 0:08:00.840 It's a true story. That's people want me to write 0:08:00.840 --> 0:08:02.800 a book. I will when I'm through with all this. 0:08:03.280 --> 0:08:05.160 Do we get to pre screen that book? No, all, 0:08:05.240 --> 0:08:08.080 y'all will come out good in it. Speaking of kicking, 0:08:08.840 --> 0:08:10.800 By the way, who was the last straight on kicker? 0:08:11.280 --> 0:08:13.800 Russell erk s Laban Do you think he was probably 0:08:13.800 --> 0:08:18.560 the last one? The last regular straight coach Longhorn University. 0:08:18.880 --> 0:08:21.920 He was also a good punder well. He could really punt. 0:08:22.040 --> 0:08:25.040 He was an athletic dude. The youngsters here don't remember 0:08:25.120 --> 0:08:27.560 what a straight on kicker was. Sounds like it hurts, 0:08:27.720 --> 0:08:29.040 It really did. Remember when you used to have to 0:08:29.040 --> 0:08:32.640 square toe and tie Jim Baching with the Saint Luimkin 0:08:32.720 --> 0:08:34.959 with the Cardinals to tie up his shoe. He had 0:08:34.960 --> 0:08:37.960 a square toe and so he would hit seven field 0:08:37.960 --> 0:08:40.720 goals in a game. The last foot Mark Moseley for 0:08:40.840 --> 0:08:45.720 the Washington football team. For the Washington football team. That's correct, Google, 0:08:45.920 --> 0:08:49.200 Nice job, Ashley Farrell. He wore the one bar and 0:08:49.640 --> 0:08:53.200 his holder was Joe Fisman, who also wore the one bar. 0:08:53.320 --> 0:08:55.720 I remember that stuff that you don't want to know, 0:08:56.320 --> 0:08:58.600 but stuff that I wonder about when it comes to 0:08:58.600 --> 0:09:00.960 the national football That's why miss being on the OTP, 0:09:01.080 --> 0:09:04.360 with all the uninteresting facts, probably should have wore more 0:09:04.400 --> 0:09:08.280 than one bar. Of the day he met Lawrence Taylor. Hello. 0:09:08.640 --> 0:09:11.959 In twenty twenty one, the receiving team on kickoffs will 0:09:12.040 --> 0:09:16.880 be limited to nine players within ten to twenty five 0:09:16.960 --> 0:09:21.400 yards of the ball. That's one less. Last year, on 0:09:21.640 --> 0:09:26.319 side kicks, sixty seven of them. How many were successful, 0:09:26.360 --> 0:09:32.000 Amy Wells of sixty seven, I would say four all right, Red, Brian, 0:09:32.200 --> 0:09:36.439 I'd say less than that. Okay, Coach Mack. Three is correct, 0:09:36.480 --> 0:09:39.760 Thank you, Coach Mack giving us the three here. It's 0:09:39.760 --> 0:09:42.000 not a very visual medium, but I will tell you 0:09:42.040 --> 0:09:46.439 that's what he said. Is this a better change, in 0:09:46.559 --> 0:09:50.880 your opinion, Dave McGinnis than what was the quote unquote 0:09:50.920 --> 0:09:55.280 gimmick of giving a team a fourth and fifteen chance 0:09:55.840 --> 0:10:01.120 to keep the ball which was proposed and then table Absolutely, yes, okay, 0:10:01.200 --> 0:10:03.520 absolutely yes. I still like the fact they have to 0:10:03.600 --> 0:10:05.880 kick it. You may not get any more than three 0:10:05.880 --> 0:10:08.600 of sixty seven again, but at least numbers wise, you 0:10:08.640 --> 0:10:11.560 have a better chance if it doesn't work. Would you 0:10:11.679 --> 0:10:16.040 be more willing to accept the fourth and fifteen gimmick? No? No, Rhett, 0:10:16.360 --> 0:10:19.920 you're a traditionalist. But I mean, honestly, outside of the 0:10:20.000 --> 0:10:23.120 surprise on side, the onside kick is basically out of 0:10:23.120 --> 0:10:26.000 the game. Now, Well, I mean evidence, Bun that many 0:10:26.000 --> 0:10:29.400 a three three seven? Yeah? I think it was eleven 0:10:29.720 --> 0:10:33.880 of one twelve over the two preceding seasons they did 0:10:33.920 --> 0:10:36.480 try sixty seven of them, though they did or sixty 0:10:36.520 --> 0:10:39.840 seven of them. So these the special teams, coaches, and 0:10:39.880 --> 0:10:41.840 you've seen the different ways they've schemed it up with 0:10:41.880 --> 0:10:46.400 the watermelon kick, you know, and you know what Bones 0:10:46.400 --> 0:10:48.480 Fossil used to do. Who's a special team's coach now 0:10:48.600 --> 0:10:50.640 the Cowboys when we were with the Rams, would do 0:10:50.720 --> 0:10:52.840 would would make the approach and have a guy beat 0:10:52.880 --> 0:10:55.840 you know, ambidextrious? Is it still ambidextrous with your legs? 0:10:55.880 --> 0:10:59.360 If you do it amphibious? Amphibious? Would would would fake 0:10:59.400 --> 0:11:00.880 it with his right and kick it with his left 0:11:00.920 --> 0:11:03.400 the other way. You know, a lot of different things 0:11:03.440 --> 0:11:06.600 that you can do. So they attempted sixty seven of them. 0:11:06.640 --> 0:11:09.920 They're still the glimmer of hope, like when you're sixty seven. 0:11:10.200 --> 0:11:12.880 But as a fan, you still feel, don't you When 0:11:12.920 --> 0:11:17.360 you see your team running out for that play. They 0:11:17.440 --> 0:11:22.079 line up, all right, this is it. We just gotta 0:11:22.120 --> 0:11:25.800 get this success rate on a side kicks. It's not great, 0:11:27.200 --> 0:11:31.280 worst history, it's not. I'm just an optimist, but they 0:11:31.320 --> 0:11:36.559 go out there, this is it. I'm an optimist. You're unrealistic. Unrealistic. 0:11:36.800 --> 0:11:39.079 I think that all we got to do is make 0:11:39.160 --> 0:11:45.800 this play. Okay, Matt, that's because you're scared of her. Wow, 0:11:46.120 --> 0:11:48.920 I get excited. I hate that it is not a 0:11:48.960 --> 0:11:52.240 competitive play anymore. I hate it. When it was twenty 0:11:52.280 --> 0:11:56.440 to twenty five percent, that was great. It is. Listen, 0:11:56.800 --> 0:12:00.280 it's the most dangerous play in football if it's if 0:12:00.280 --> 0:12:04.479 it's done the way it was back in my day. 0:12:05.200 --> 0:12:12.960 We're not awed brass knuckles. And I mean when you 0:12:13.040 --> 0:12:16.240 get sent out there at any level, at any level 0:12:16.280 --> 0:12:20.480 of football, on on sidekick receiving team, you knew that 0:12:20.600 --> 0:12:22.800 might be it for you. Can I tell you the 0:12:22.840 --> 0:12:25.840 coaching points back in the old days, sure, First of all, 0:12:26.240 --> 0:12:29.640 there was only two people days need to go get 0:12:29.679 --> 0:12:33.400 the ball? Okay, two people because you could line up 0:12:33.400 --> 0:12:36.000 as many as you wanted. The rest of them was 0:12:36.120 --> 0:12:40.160 to do like braveheart destroy, take off running and destroy 0:12:40.320 --> 0:12:42.960 anything in front of you as hard as you can. 0:12:43.280 --> 0:12:46.280 And one guy your job was. Because there's always a 0:12:46.280 --> 0:12:48.480 guy that stands behind the first line that is supposed 0:12:48.480 --> 0:12:52.160 to catch it. You go try to annihilate him. Don't 0:12:52.160 --> 0:12:54.040 even try to get the ball. You're not You're not 0:12:54.080 --> 0:12:56.880 involved to get the ball. Do you remember who got 0:12:56.960 --> 0:13:00.520 taken out in a game at Nissan Stadium A last 0:13:00.559 --> 0:13:03.320 time the Titans recovered an onside kick. Gonna be in 0:13:03.320 --> 0:13:07.400 the Hall of Fame. Larry Fitzgerald and the great incredible 0:13:07.440 --> 0:13:12.160 comeback against the Bits. Ryan Fitzpatrick leads the Titans back 0:13:12.200 --> 0:13:15.000 from seventeen down in the final minutes, then throws an 0:13:15.000 --> 0:13:18.400 interception in overtime. Sounds about yeah, it wasn't. It was 0:13:18.559 --> 0:13:22.560 so typical Fitzy. But anyway, but the onside kick went 0:13:22.600 --> 0:13:27.840 to Larry Fitzgerald and he got lost the ball, didn't 0:13:27.840 --> 0:13:30.040 know where he was, couldn't come back in the game. 0:13:30.280 --> 0:13:32.320 And I thought, at that point, man, you know, if 0:13:32.320 --> 0:13:34.960 you're putting Larry Fitzgerald in there, I don't believe i'd 0:13:34.960 --> 0:13:37.880 do that. I'd rather lose the game. But you had 0:13:37.880 --> 0:13:42.800 a chance at that point, yes, and now just make 0:13:42.880 --> 0:13:47.760 the play. Well three of sixty seven Coach Mack was 0:13:47.800 --> 0:13:49.400 saying is there wasn't a hands team. There was a 0:13:49.440 --> 0:13:53.000 hands duo originally, and then it was like running into 0:13:53.000 --> 0:13:57.240 a Civil War battlefield. Good luck, it was braveheart on 0:13:57.520 --> 0:14:00.319 Marcus set go. Who I mean, it was rough. And 0:14:00.760 --> 0:14:05.439 now it's like, unless something really flukey happens, there's almost 0:14:05.440 --> 0:14:09.160 no chance. And the league needs to have that be 0:14:09.280 --> 0:14:13.280 a competitive play because you don't need people turning off 0:14:13.320 --> 0:14:15.480 the TV if it's a two score game in the 0:14:15.520 --> 0:14:19.239 final five minutes and they know there's no chance. Yeah, 0:14:19.280 --> 0:14:23.320 not with our hundred billion dollars TV deal. I get it, 0:14:23.360 --> 0:14:25.440 and I see what you're saying, and it's similar to 0:14:25.840 --> 0:14:28.680 the kickoff argument with all the touchbacks and all of that. 0:14:30.120 --> 0:14:33.440 I know you are. Do you want every second to 0:14:33.520 --> 0:14:36.720 be the most compelling, exciting thing. I want to see 0:14:36.040 --> 0:14:38.560 if if we could light people on fire and have 0:14:38.680 --> 0:14:42.360 a run around, you be into it because it'd be exciting. Yeah. Well, 0:14:42.440 --> 0:14:45.200 I know if it was a football play. I want 0:14:45.280 --> 0:14:48.240 to see football plays. That's why in the pros, I 0:14:48.240 --> 0:14:51.480 don't want to see twenty yard extra points. I want 0:14:51.480 --> 0:14:54.480 to see thirty three yard extra points because if it 0:14:54.520 --> 0:14:57.200 counts a point, and these are the best kickers in 0:14:57.240 --> 0:14:58.840 the world, they ought to be able to make one 0:14:59.000 --> 0:15:02.400 further than a college kicker. If they're going to say 0:15:02.440 --> 0:15:06.600 that the on side kick is unsafe, then let's get 0:15:06.680 --> 0:15:08.880 rid of it and let's do a fourth and fifteen 0:15:09.040 --> 0:15:13.040 play that gives somebody a chance and at least puts 0:15:13.040 --> 0:15:16.800 the percentages back over ten percent. Amy. Yeah, I mean 0:15:16.880 --> 0:15:20.560 right now the percentages are at like five. Yeah. Amy. 0:15:20.760 --> 0:15:22.680 If they're the best athletes in the world, they should 0:15:22.680 --> 0:15:25.560 also be able to recover any But they can't because 0:15:25.640 --> 0:15:28.400 in essence for how it's set up now, they don't 0:15:28.440 --> 0:15:31.520 have a chance because you can't have ten guys on 0:15:31.520 --> 0:15:33.840 a side, and you can't. I mean, it's got to 0:15:33.920 --> 0:15:37.080 be some trick them. Amy, don't give in. I'm not 0:15:37.200 --> 0:15:40.000 giving he's not given anything. Well, he's just getting louder. 0:15:40.000 --> 0:15:46.240 I'm not quitting. Just let him spin himself out. Presented 0:15:46.240 --> 0:15:48.840 by Farm Bureau Health Plans, look to the folks at 0:15:48.840 --> 0:15:51.640 Farm Bureau Health Plans when you need someone who understands 0:15:51.680 --> 0:15:54.400 the xs and o's of healthcare coverage. They've been protecting 0:15:54.440 --> 0:15:57.480 Tennessee and since nineteen forty seven. All right, move on 0:15:57.520 --> 0:15:59.680 to the next point. Since Amy got the last one wrong, 0:16:01.480 --> 0:16:09.200 the owners approved expanded booth to communications review. So the booth, 0:16:09.720 --> 0:16:13.520 the replay official, can now talk to the referee, no 0:16:13.640 --> 0:16:20.640 sky judge, no lord of officiated, the sky judge. The 0:16:20.760 --> 0:16:25.000 sky judge idea was one that he or she would 0:16:25.120 --> 0:16:28.080 essentially be the eighth official and could make a call 0:16:28.240 --> 0:16:31.240 from the booth. There's some people who like that idea. 0:16:31.280 --> 0:16:33.800 There's some people who think that's too much. In this way, 0:16:34.160 --> 0:16:39.080 the replay official, Dave McGinnis can radio down to young 0:16:39.160 --> 0:16:42.160 Hokulee or whomever it is in the working the ball 0:16:42.200 --> 0:16:45.000 game and can say, Hey, it's pretty obvious on the 0:16:45.000 --> 0:16:48.000 TV replay the guy caught the ball, or it's pretty 0:16:48.000 --> 0:16:52.800 obvious on the TV replay that you've spotted the ball incorrectly. 0:16:53.120 --> 0:16:56.120 Is it too intrusive? Do you? What do you think 0:16:56.160 --> 0:16:58.040 about this? I like it? You do like it? I 0:16:58.080 --> 0:17:00.240 do like it. We've got the technology now to do it. 0:17:00.400 --> 0:17:02.440 And one of the reasons they say that they're still 0:17:02.480 --> 0:17:05.680 are not in on the sky judge being all powerful 0:17:05.800 --> 0:17:08.479 up there. They're not sure how many qualified people they 0:17:08.520 --> 0:17:11.439 have yet to be able to spread out across the 0:17:11.520 --> 0:17:17.760 league and do it, you know, empirically, without much delay. 0:17:18.000 --> 0:17:20.840 I like this, I really do, because we've got the technology. 0:17:20.880 --> 0:17:22.960 How many times, Mike, are you and I in the 0:17:23.000 --> 0:17:26.199 booth and we get that truck replay and we go, uh, 0:17:26.400 --> 0:17:29.040 I thing hit the ground. We that hit the ground. 0:17:29.080 --> 0:17:30.960 We can see it now. We can see it because 0:17:31.000 --> 0:17:33.320 we get we get the truck copy, we can see 0:17:33.320 --> 0:17:36.760 it well. The person in the booth, the replay official, 0:17:36.880 --> 0:17:39.120 will get that same copy. I'm all for it. How 0:17:39.119 --> 0:17:42.879 many times last season did you and I do double 0:17:42.920 --> 0:17:46.480 backflips because of the misspotted balls. Oh no, No, seriously, 0:17:46.480 --> 0:17:49.880 how many times I know exactly how many times? Six Wow? 0:17:50.040 --> 0:17:53.760 In a game? Again, I mean they can't spot, they 0:17:53.800 --> 0:17:56.679 can't spot the ball. And so I'm all for this. 0:17:56.880 --> 0:18:00.080 It's an enhancement of that's the idea of booth to 0:18:00.320 --> 0:18:03.520 field communication in this thing. That's the right word. Yeah 0:18:03.560 --> 0:18:06.720 and so, and I like that because I think you're 0:18:06.760 --> 0:18:09.880 going to get more clear and concise decisions. I think 0:18:09.920 --> 0:18:12.879 it is certainly in an effort to reduce errors in 0:18:12.920 --> 0:18:15.960 those things. And I think you'll see that as a byproduct. 0:18:16.200 --> 0:18:18.640 Do you buy it? Yeah, I buy it. I mean 0:18:18.760 --> 0:18:25.240 until something egregious happens, I'm on board goes terribly wrong. Theoretically, 0:18:25.440 --> 0:18:28.720 it could keep something egregious and that's the whole And 0:18:28.800 --> 0:18:31.280 that's the whole idea. Like if you're in a hurry 0:18:31.359 --> 0:18:35.320 up situation and it's just obvious something is missed, that 0:18:35.400 --> 0:18:38.840 can be fixed like that, And and they've the nice 0:18:38.880 --> 0:18:41.119 thing is they're going to have three preseason games to 0:18:41.200 --> 0:18:43.560 play with it, right. I'm all for an extra set 0:18:43.560 --> 0:18:45.560 of eyes whenever you can get them. I think that 0:18:45.680 --> 0:18:48.000 is valuable. I think they need all the help they 0:18:48.000 --> 0:18:51.120 can get with the technology. It's like a full time 0:18:51.400 --> 0:18:55.120 accountability partner for four quarters. See I could, I could 0:18:55.119 --> 0:18:58.600 do that job. Yeah, and I'm just busy. I wasn't 0:18:58.640 --> 0:19:01.159 an official, but I could do that job, right, and 0:19:01.200 --> 0:19:04.320 they could. They could get former coaches to do that 0:19:04.400 --> 0:19:06.800 job because you can't. You don't have to be an 0:19:06.800 --> 0:19:11.040 official right to be able to rectify some of those things. No, 0:19:11.240 --> 0:19:13.960 you know, the game situationally, the whole thing. That's why 0:19:14.000 --> 0:19:19.040 I'm saying. And so to me, this has some good merit. Yeah. 0:19:19.040 --> 0:19:22.440 And the point too is and people may wonder this 0:19:23.080 --> 0:19:26.800 that guy could not be theoretically at least could not 0:19:26.920 --> 0:19:30.880 be in the referees ear telling him things. Now, there 0:19:30.880 --> 0:19:34.000 have been some conspiracy theorists that think they've been doing 0:19:34.040 --> 0:19:38.040 this for years and that this is just legal. There's 0:19:38.080 --> 0:19:42.680 no proof of that. But now that person, the replay official, 0:19:42.800 --> 0:19:46.160 can be in the referees ear by virtue of this rule. 0:19:46.280 --> 0:19:50.359 It's like a television producers of the news anchor, etc. Right. Yeah, 0:19:50.400 --> 0:19:52.920 I like it. I'm into it. Can we talk about 0:19:52.960 --> 0:19:54.800 another thing that has happened in the last couple of 0:19:54.800 --> 0:19:56.600 weeks and Mike Keith, I think you're going to like 0:19:56.760 --> 0:20:00.359 this because you really like uniforms in jersey number and 0:20:00.800 --> 0:20:07.680 the day to day outfitting of I like an outfit. Yeah, 0:20:07.800 --> 0:20:10.720 so I think you're gonna like this because the league 0:20:10.720 --> 0:20:15.160 has expanded the jersey numbers that certain positions can wear. 0:20:15.720 --> 0:20:19.119 So let me tell you running backs, tight ends, fullbacks, 0:20:19.280 --> 0:20:23.480 h backs, wide receivers. Basically, skilled players can wear numbers 0:20:23.520 --> 0:20:27.760 one through forty nine and eighty through eighty nine. Defensive 0:20:27.760 --> 0:20:31.920 backs can wear numbers one through forty nine, linebackers one 0:20:32.000 --> 0:20:36.960 through fifty nine, So quite the range and single digits. 0:20:37.040 --> 0:20:39.440 Single digits are available now for a lot of people. 0:20:40.000 --> 0:20:44.400 Who do we think is the first Titans player, Michae 0:20:44.400 --> 0:20:46.160 I'll start with you, because you like this so much. 0:20:46.560 --> 0:20:49.040 Who do you think is the first Titans player to 0:20:49.080 --> 0:20:52.000 take advantage of this new rule and change their number, 0:20:52.280 --> 0:20:55.920 change their number well, or take advantage of the new rule. 0:20:55.960 --> 0:20:59.320 I guess I think whomever they draft highly in the 0:20:59.400 --> 0:21:02.280 secondary end at wide receiver will do it this year 0:21:02.480 --> 0:21:05.119 and take a single digit, take a single digit. I 0:21:05.200 --> 0:21:07.480 really liked what aj Brown did though. Of course, he 0:21:07.520 --> 0:21:10.000 was number one at Old Miss, and so he is 0:21:10.040 --> 0:21:14.120 eleven with the Titans. He's considering number one, number one. 0:21:14.760 --> 0:21:16.720 He goes back and he looks at the history. Number 0:21:16.760 --> 0:21:19.080 one is retired. As a matter of fact, when Gary 0:21:19.119 --> 0:21:21.560 Anderson joined the Titans in two thousand and three and 0:21:21.600 --> 0:21:25.840 two thousand and four, they unretired it because Gary Anderson 0:21:26.200 --> 0:21:28.000 was one of the great kickers of all time. But 0:21:28.560 --> 0:21:32.040 it was Warren Moons and AJ being a young guy, 0:21:32.680 --> 0:21:35.040 doesn't know the whole history. So what does he do? 0:21:35.160 --> 0:21:39.240 Rhet He reads up on Warren Moon and then says, hey, 0:21:39.880 --> 0:21:42.600 love to be number one. It would be cool, but 0:21:42.640 --> 0:21:46.560 Warren Moon, you're the bomb. I'm not doing it. I thought, man, 0:21:46.880 --> 0:21:49.679 one more reason to love Arthur one. Right. It is 0:21:49.880 --> 0:21:52.800 a great story, and that has just happened recently, and 0:21:53.560 --> 0:21:56.879 for him too, because young folks don't always just check 0:21:56.960 --> 0:21:59.000 to see what's what. They just they're like, I don't know, 0:21:59.080 --> 0:22:01.480 I didn't know that. He went did his homework and 0:22:01.520 --> 0:22:03.960 that's what I really appreciate about what he did, and 0:22:04.000 --> 0:22:06.560
