From Saint Thomas Sports Park. 5 00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:41,240 Speaker 1: Amy Wells, Hello, Jim Watt, the great one. Glad to 6 00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:45,559 Speaker 1: be here. I'm Mike Keith. We're all in Houston Oilers 7 00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:49,280 Speaker 1: shirts as you can see this morning. And and the 8 00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:53,520 Speaker 1: reason is because actually we're Amy. Adamstruct sends an email 9 00:00:53,560 --> 00:01:00,240 Speaker 1: every morning telling us how to drink. That's why we're 10 00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:03,200 Speaker 1: doing it. Comes at about four thirty and I wish 11 00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:06,319 Speaker 1: it would make it easier. Now that's actually not true. 12 00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:09,800 Speaker 1: The reason we're doing it, however, is in relation to her, 13 00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:12,560 Speaker 1: and we will get deeper into this later in the OTP. 14 00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:15,920 Speaker 1: This is our way of giving a thumbs up to 15 00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:20,040 Speaker 1: Robert Brazil, who is here this weekend as the twelfth Titan, 16 00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:23,000 Speaker 1: who is here this weekend to receive his Pro Football 17 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:26,440 Speaker 1: Hall of Fame ring, and who is so fired up 18 00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:29,319 Speaker 1: to be coming here, and we want to make sure 19 00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:32,160 Speaker 1: all Titans fans are as fired up about his presence 20 00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:35,600 Speaker 1: as he is to be here. It's it's kind of 21 00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:37,440 Speaker 1: a big moment. So this is our shout out to 22 00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:40,200 Speaker 1: doctor Doom and we'll talk about him a little bit 23 00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:43,600 Speaker 1: more in the program. All right, So the news of 24 00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:51,040 Speaker 1: the week has been roster movement. Roster movement on offense. 25 00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:55,920 Speaker 1: Lots of changes in terms of how the offense is 26 00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:00,520 Speaker 1: set up because of numbers. So the Titans have gone 27 00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:05,800 Speaker 1: from three tight ends to four tight ends. Anthony Ferkster 28 00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:09,760 Speaker 1: called up from the practice squad. The Titans have gone 29 00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:16,040 Speaker 1: from three quarterbacks to two quarterbacks. Austin Davis, who did 30 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:18,680 Speaker 1: a nice job for a couple of weeks, is gone, 31 00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:23,040 Speaker 1: so now down to two quarterbacks. So you could see 32 00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:25,239 Speaker 1: the number of tight ends from three to four, running 33 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:29,880 Speaker 1: backs from four to three. Daylin Dawkins moved back to 34 00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:35,000 Speaker 1: the practice squad with David Flewellen being healthy. Wide receivers 35 00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:39,520 Speaker 1: stay at five, but a wide receiver changed out, and 36 00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:44,000 Speaker 1: let's talk about that first and foremost. Cameron Batson is 37 00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:47,320 Speaker 1: called up from the practice squad. Jim White, were you surprised, 38 00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:50,600 Speaker 1: and we'll get into who he replaces momentarily, but Jim White, 39 00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:54,360 Speaker 1: were you surprised that Batson was the move at wide receiver? 40 00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:57,600 Speaker 1: Not necessarily. I know some of the fan base wanting, 41 00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:00,200 Speaker 1: you know, throwing out names like Dez Bryant, looking some 42 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:02,800 Speaker 1: of the free agents that are available. We've been around 43 00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:06,720 Speaker 1: long enough to to know that you're not going to 44 00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:09,959 Speaker 1: sign a golf the street and expect him to come 45 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,240 Speaker 1: in and catch ten balls for one hundred forty yards 46 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,799 Speaker 1: for your plus. That's not what this team's looking for. 47 00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,080 Speaker 1: I mean, you're looking for guys on the back end. 48 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:20,280 Speaker 1: We're talking about the you know, number five receiver here, 49 00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:24,080 Speaker 1: not looking for a number two. So Batson's familiar, he 50 00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:27,760 Speaker 1: can return, know he's I think he's looked good when 51 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:31,440 Speaker 1: he's gotten opportunities. So I'm not surprised. Does this mean, 52 00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:36,000 Speaker 1: you know, don't potentially look at other opportunities or options 53 00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:39,400 Speaker 1: down the road. No, because we're just you know, five 54 00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:43,119 Speaker 1: games in the season here, but on a short week. No, 55 00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:47,120 Speaker 1: I'm not surprised. Amy. Initially, I was a little surprised. 56 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,400 Speaker 1: It seemed like there were some other positions of need 57 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:53,280 Speaker 1: that might be addressed in that move having that extra spot. 58 00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:55,960 Speaker 1: But then when we started to dig into it, Mike, 59 00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:57,680 Speaker 1: you and I kind of sat down and looked at 60 00:03:57,720 --> 00:03:59,560 Speaker 1: some of the things that he's able to do, and 61 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,880 Speaker 1: his ability to be a returner and do things like that. 62 00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:06,080 Speaker 1: All the pieces kind of came together then and now 63 00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:07,880 Speaker 1: I think that it was a great move by the Titans. 64 00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:11,360 Speaker 1: He returned sixty five punts in college, So if you 65 00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:14,000 Speaker 1: don't want a Dory Jackson to be the punt returner, 66 00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:17,520 Speaker 1: Cameron Batson can certainly do that. He ran four or 67 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:21,200 Speaker 1: three two at his pro days, and so it gives 68 00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:24,400 Speaker 1: you an element, much like Taywan Taylor, that you add 69 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:29,800 Speaker 1: more speed. He's clearly faster than Darius Jennings and he's 70 00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:35,200 Speaker 1: clearly faster than the man he replaces, Nick Williams. I 71 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:40,040 Speaker 1: don't think the waving of Nick Williams was a surprise. 72 00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:45,600 Speaker 1: The reaction has been as if it was an emotional 73 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,279 Speaker 1: decision by John Robinson. I don't think it was that 74 00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,599 Speaker 1: at all, Jim, I don't think so, man. And certainly 75 00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:55,520 Speaker 1: Nick Williams a good guy, and certainly, you know, during 76 00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:57,760 Speaker 1: the preseason he was a fan favorite. I mean, he 77 00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:00,560 Speaker 1: caught a ball in lambeau Field and in with it 78 00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:03,760 Speaker 1: made a great block on Taywan Taylor's catching go in 79 00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:06,840 Speaker 1: the preseason game against Tampa Bay. Uh. You know, he's 80 00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:08,520 Speaker 1: one of those guys that did all, you know, did 81 00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:11,839 Speaker 1: the dirty work, and unfortunately he didn't catch a ball 82 00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:13,800 Speaker 1: that he's got to catch. I mean, that's there's no 83 00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:17,200 Speaker 1: two ways around him. Yeah. Yeah, so he's got a 84 00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:19,920 Speaker 1: fight for the one that was intercepted, got to got 85 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:22,000 Speaker 1: to own that spot, and he's got to catch the ball, 86 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:25,000 Speaker 1: you know when a stone to him head an end zone. Now, 87 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:27,760 Speaker 1: was his fault that this team lost the game? No? 88 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:30,719 Speaker 1: I mean, uh, it seemed like every time I tweeted something, 89 00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:33,160 Speaker 1: you know after the game, it was is with Nick 90 00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:35,279 Speaker 1: Williams cut yet or it's all his fault at the 91 00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:38,039 Speaker 1: team lost the game. Well, Nick Williams didn't fumble the 92 00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:39,960 Speaker 1: ball two times. You know two other guys who are 93 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,920 Speaker 1: guilty of that. When the Titans took the lead late, 94 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:45,800 Speaker 1: defense didn't get a stop. I mean, you gotta win 95 00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:48,120 Speaker 1: the game there, if you're you're if you're the defense. 96 00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:50,719 Speaker 1: There were some other mistakes throughout the game. If it 97 00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,039 Speaker 1: makes that catch, yeah, maybe it puts the team in 98 00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:56,200 Speaker 1: a position where Buffalo had to score. But Buffalo was 99 00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:58,320 Speaker 1: driving down the field with a lot of resistance on 100 00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:02,039 Speaker 1: that last drive. So a lot of people to blame 101 00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 1: for that drop no for losing that game, that drop past, 102 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:07,919 Speaker 1: or just a part of it, I think John Robinson, 103 00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,440 Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, people could say you're making a statement, 104 00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:12,440 Speaker 1: you cut a guy who dropped the ball. I think 105 00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:14,240 Speaker 1: there's more to it than that, and I think this 106 00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:16,640 Speaker 1: is an opportunity to kind of keep turning the roster 107 00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:21,719 Speaker 1: and Batson is a speed up grade and happy for him. 108 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:24,880 Speaker 1: I think that a lot of fans are perceiving this 109 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:28,320 Speaker 1: move as a punishment. You messed up, so this is 110 00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:30,480 Speaker 1: your punishment. You're not on the team anymore. And I 111 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:34,200 Speaker 1: don't think that's entirely the case. I think that in 112 00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:38,760 Speaker 1: that position specifically, you've got to have trust. You've got 113 00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:40,880 Speaker 1: to prove that you can show up in the big 114 00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:43,200 Speaker 1: moments and you can be a guy who people will 115 00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:46,279 Speaker 1: say the Tennessee Titans won because of Blank and this 116 00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:50,200 Speaker 1: roster is filled with guys who fit that description. The 117 00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:53,320 Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans won because of Corey Davis, The Tennessee Titans 118 00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:56,760 Speaker 1: won because of Darrell Casey. Nick Williams showed that he 119 00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 1: wasn't going to be in that spot. And if there 120 00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:01,560 Speaker 1: are other moves that can be made, you know, John 121 00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:03,960 Speaker 1: Robinson likes to keep the bottom of the roster kind 122 00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:06,440 Speaker 1: of moving and shaken. I think that it was a 123 00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:08,880 Speaker 1: natural move, but I don't think it was a direct 124 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:11,960 Speaker 1: punishment based on that game. I don't either, And I 125 00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:14,960 Speaker 1: think if you were going to punish somebody based on 126 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,840 Speaker 1: a drop then you would have punished Darius Jennings the 127 00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:21,000 Speaker 1: week before for the drop in the Philadelphia game. But 128 00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:26,800 Speaker 1: Darius has an important role that he plays and Nick 129 00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:29,120 Speaker 1: was really the number four. He had been given the 130 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:32,280 Speaker 1: shot to win the number four job. They need somebody 131 00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:38,680 Speaker 1: to win that job. At this point, Nick showed, given opportunities, 132 00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:42,200 Speaker 1: he wasn't able to grab that job. The interception was 133 00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:45,640 Speaker 1: on him as well, because he doesn't win the spot. 134 00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:48,200 Speaker 1: You've got to go in there aggressively and win the spot. 135 00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:52,239 Speaker 1: The drop ball is obviously a big factor. So they're 136 00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:55,480 Speaker 1: going to continue to search to get better to give 137 00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:57,880 Speaker 1: themselves something. Now. The question is going to be through 138 00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:01,400 Speaker 1: this week of practice and maybe we're savvy enough to 139 00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:04,560 Speaker 1: figure it out, maybe not. Who's the number four going 140 00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:07,600 Speaker 1: into Baltimore. Is it Batson or is it Jennings. Does 141 00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:11,440 Speaker 1: Jennings get a chance to move up or do they 142 00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:14,120 Speaker 1: give some of those reps to a guy like Firkser 143 00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:19,560 Speaker 1: and play something a little more unconventional. Or do they 144 00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:22,280 Speaker 1: have Henry and Lewis on the field at the same 145 00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:26,800 Speaker 1: time and use Lewis as an extra receiver or is 146 00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:29,840 Speaker 1: it all of the above. I think it's all the above, 147 00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:35,480 Speaker 1: and certainly Dion Lewis as a weapon in his own right. 148 00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:37,800 Speaker 1: Does this team need to do more at the tight 149 00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:39,840 Speaker 1: end position. Yeah, that's going to have to happen. I 150 00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:42,679 Speaker 1: think that's one of the reasons Firkser was called up. 151 00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:45,920 Speaker 1: Chano Smiths another guy who's got to catch the ball 152 00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:49,000 Speaker 1: and make sure that he's a dependable target for Marcus 153 00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:51,480 Speaker 1: Mariota when he's being thrown the ball. But I think 154 00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:54,040 Speaker 1: it's a case where, you know, where a lot of 155 00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:56,319 Speaker 1: guys are going to be involved. You know, if I 156 00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:59,720 Speaker 1: had just do the pecking order receiver, I'd put Dear's 157 00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:04,320 Speaker 1: Jenny ahead of Batson at this point just because of 158 00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:08,320 Speaker 1: his experience and just because him being involved more. Or 159 00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:11,719 Speaker 1: does it go toward the matchup that you say we 160 00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:13,880 Speaker 1: want to put bats in on the field this week 161 00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:17,600 Speaker 1: because they have to respect his speed and is that 162 00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:20,200 Speaker 1: going to be some of how they play the chess 163 00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:24,000 Speaker 1: pieces in and out that this week is a Firkser week, 164 00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:26,240 Speaker 1: this week is a bats In week, this week is 165 00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:30,680 Speaker 1: a Jennings week. Do they look at it in those terms? 166 00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:34,080 Speaker 1: The other thing I think too about John Robinson and 167 00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:37,760 Speaker 1: the roster and the analytical not the emotional nature, is 168 00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:41,240 Speaker 1: you're not going to keep Nick Williams on the roster 169 00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:45,800 Speaker 1: to make him in a healthy scratch on Sunday. Right. 170 00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:49,960 Speaker 1: You will do that with Batson potentially because of his speed, 171 00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:53,960 Speaker 1: You'll say, okay, we and because you don't want somebody 172 00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,959 Speaker 1: to steal him off your practice squad, which maybe is 173 00:09:57,040 --> 00:10:00,520 Speaker 1: something we may not know that sometimes team have to 174 00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:05,080 Speaker 1: make roster decisions very quickly. And could that have happened 175 00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:07,120 Speaker 1: on Batson? Could that have happened? Un first, I don't 176 00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:11,840 Speaker 1: have any idea it did happen with Silberman, the offensive lineman. 177 00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:16,160 Speaker 1: Oakland stole him back off the Titans practice squads, and 178 00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:17,800 Speaker 1: he was a guy I think the Titans were kind 179 00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:20,240 Speaker 1: of excited to be able to get in here and 180 00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:24,400 Speaker 1: within what just days, he's stolen back. Because that guy's 181 00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:27,920 Speaker 1: gonna take a twenty eight thousand dollar check. Yeah, And 182 00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:31,400 Speaker 1: I'm sure John Robinson's kind of looked at at practice 183 00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:34,400 Speaker 1: squads and making these moves. And again, just because this 184 00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:37,440 Speaker 1: is the move this week doesn't mean he still won't 185 00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:39,800 Speaker 1: do some shuffling down the road receiver. I mean, I 186 00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:43,120 Speaker 1: get questions all the time by Dante Burnett, who remains 187 00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:45,480 Speaker 1: on the Jets practice squad if I'm not mistaken, and 188 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,839 Speaker 1: I'm not. I don't know whether John Robinson inquired about him, 189 00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:51,760 Speaker 1: but he knows what options are available out there on 190 00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:57,200 Speaker 1: other teams practice squad. So I think, you know, you know, 191 00:10:57,280 --> 00:10:59,800 Speaker 1: I think moving forward, I mean, I still expect your 192 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:03,320 Speaker 1: top three, you know, Davis Taylor Sharp, to get the 193 00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:05,800 Speaker 1: majority of the snaps and to get the workload. You're 194 00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:09,240 Speaker 1: gonna see some other guys sprinkled in, and I think 195 00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:11,800 Speaker 1: that's a condition, that's a position you just have to 196 00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:15,040 Speaker 1: continue to evaluate. Here's the thing about the Titans practice 197 00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:18,280 Speaker 1: squad that I think would be intriguing if I were 198 00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:21,640 Speaker 1: someone who were eligible for a practice squad, Because once 199 00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:24,000 Speaker 1: you're on one and another team tries to take you, 200 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:26,120 Speaker 1: you are free to go. You can do whatever you 201 00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:27,920 Speaker 1: want to do. When you're on a practice squad. You 202 00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:31,240 Speaker 1: cannot go from practice squad to practice squad, right, but 203 00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:34,040 Speaker 1: you can leave and go to another act and go 204 00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:37,520 Speaker 1: to another active roster. But I think that there's something 205 00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:41,160 Speaker 1: intriguing about staying here because some of the guys who 206 00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:44,960 Speaker 1: like a Dalen Dawkins, like Anthony Ferkster, like those type 207 00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:47,880 Speaker 1: of guys who know the system, they know they're going 208 00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:51,560 Speaker 1: to get opportunities here. They know and can see the 209 00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:55,240 Speaker 1: way that John Robinson likes to move this around, seize 210 00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:58,880 Speaker 1: the way that Mike Vrabel is very keen on matchups 211 00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:01,600 Speaker 1: and things like that. Any given Sunday you could be 212 00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:03,800 Speaker 1: on an active roster here and you don't have to 213 00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:07,880 Speaker 1: do all the weird switching and learning new right systems 214 00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:10,280 Speaker 1: and all of that. You can stay in the system, 215 00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:14,160 Speaker 1: stay with your people, and you're gonna get opportunities to play. 216 00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:17,480 Speaker 1: Just the other thing too. Chad Hanson will now have 217 00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:20,040 Speaker 1: been through two weeks with the Titans. I mean, who's 218 00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:23,240 Speaker 1: to say you get to the weekend? And I mean 219 00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:27,000 Speaker 1: this right here, this fifty three is not permanent forever 220 00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:30,280 Speaker 1: and ever if they decide somebody has a better week 221 00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:34,840 Speaker 1: during the course of practice and they say, Chad Hanson 222 00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:37,240 Speaker 1: come on to the active roster for this, they could 223 00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:40,040 Speaker 1: do it. On Saturday, we saw it done with the 224 00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:43,880 Speaker 1: Bills moved to guy up on Saturday, Dean Marlowe, who 225 00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,720 Speaker 1: started and then they cut him when they brought in 226 00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:49,520 Speaker 1: Derek Anderson. So the guy who started at them for 227 00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:52,439 Speaker 1: safety last because they had an answering question. I think 228 00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:56,800 Speaker 1: Chad Hanson's interually. This Roger Lewis too, is a player 229 00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:58,960 Speaker 1: that you know. He has been an active player for 230 00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:02,000 Speaker 1: the Giants for the last last two years. He caught 231 00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:04,719 Speaker 1: last year for the Giants thirty six passes. I think 232 00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:07,079 Speaker 1: it was thirty six or thirty seven's right. Yeah, it's 233 00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,480 Speaker 1: funny when his name because I think Taji Sharp was 234 00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:12,480 Speaker 1: trying to break a little news, uh, you know, on 235 00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:15,240 Speaker 1: Tuesday or what was it Tuesday and oh maybe it 236 00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:18,760 Speaker 1: was maybe it was get my days because it was yesterday. 237 00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:23,360 Speaker 1: Tweeted a picture of his new name plate in his locker. 238 00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:25,160 Speaker 1: It's one of those temporary name players, not the one 239 00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:28,240 Speaker 1: that's uh that's it's just done in paper, so you 240 00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:30,560 Speaker 1: knew it had to have been done quickly. He tweeted 241 00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:32,439 Speaker 1: that out or send it out on Instagram, and I 242 00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:35,080 Speaker 1: think some people jumped to the conclusion that this guy 243 00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:38,040 Speaker 1: has been signed to the active roster because he's a 244 00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:40,439 Speaker 1: guy that had some experience, played some games. It turns 245 00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:44,200 Speaker 1: out he's just a practice squad UH player for now, so, 246 00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:46,920 Speaker 1: but he does have experience, and it's one of those 247 00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:49,120 Speaker 1: guys you continue to look at and then you know 248 00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:52,000 Speaker 1: you also have to look at the health of other 249 00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:55,040 Speaker 1: positions when you know that some moves could be made 250 00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:58,000 Speaker 1: during the course of the week, and that's the case 251 00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:00,280 Speaker 1: every week. You know, if if as a team gonna 252 00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:02,120 Speaker 1: be light because this guy is not gonna be ready 253 00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:04,160 Speaker 1: to play, what's going to happen at the tackle position 254 00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:09,200 Speaker 1: this week because of some question marks there. So just 255 00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:11,280 Speaker 1: because a moves made on two is your Wednesday doesn't meet, 256 00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:14,640 Speaker 1: it can't be reversal on Saturday. As you said, absolutely, 257 00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:17,000 Speaker 1: And remember we're talking about the number four and the 258 00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:21,520 Speaker 1: number five wide receiver, right and we're discussing the depth 259 00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:25,360 Speaker 1: of the roster overall. Nobody is saying that any of 260 00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:28,960 Speaker 1: these guys are are necessarily going to be an all 261 00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:34,720 Speaker 1: pro or But Hansen is a guy that the Titans 262 00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:38,360 Speaker 1: liked coming out of college. Lewis has played in the league, 263 00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:41,720 Speaker 1: Batson is a guy that we've seen do something. So 264 00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:45,400 Speaker 1: you know, in developing the roster in looking at four 265 00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:48,640 Speaker 1: and five firks or is that you know, three or 266 00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:51,600 Speaker 1: four tight End At this point of the year, that 267 00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:54,840 Speaker 1: becomes very important because I still say a lot of 268 00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:56,920 Speaker 1: this discussion goes back to the fact you've lost to 269 00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:00,760 Speaker 1: Lanny Walker. Yeah, you are still trying to figure out 270 00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:06,920 Speaker 1: how to grab pieces to put together his production. You know, 271 00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:11,360 Speaker 1: does Corey Davis get a couple more targets because Delaney 272 00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:15,440 Speaker 1: Walker's not here? Yes? Does Tay One? Does Taj? And 273 00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:18,760 Speaker 1: then you're trying to grab some other things in other 274 00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:22,800 Speaker 1: places to kind of put those numbers together. If if 275 00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:25,600 Speaker 1: Tija gets two catches, would one of those balls have 276 00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:29,320 Speaker 1: been going to Delaney Probably? And that is still a 277 00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:33,400 Speaker 1: challenge for this offense. Jim is figuring out how to 278 00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:35,600 Speaker 1: replace him, not just in the pass game, but in 279 00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:38,800 Speaker 1: the run game, because he was one of your eleven 280 00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:42,560 Speaker 1: on ninety something percent of the snaps. Yeah, and this 281 00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:44,760 Speaker 1: team still has not figured that out yet. I mean, 282 00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:48,120 Speaker 1: Tide End has not how to catch in the past 283 00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:52,080 Speaker 1: couple of weeks. I think between Luke Stocker and John 284 00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:56,160 Speaker 1: hu Smith just nine catches for the year. This team's 285 00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:59,480 Speaker 1: missing Delaney Walker even more than I thought. I think 286 00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:04,600 Speaker 1: John Smith improved last week and as a blocker compared 287 00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:07,080 Speaker 1: to maybe the week before. Mike Vrabel said that himself, 288 00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:10,880 Speaker 1: at some point, this team is gonna have to get 289 00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:13,000 Speaker 1: him more involved. We're gonna have to get the tight 290 00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:15,800 Speaker 1: ends more involved just to take pressure off of other positions. 291 00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:17,600 Speaker 1: I actually thought it was gonna be this past week 292 00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:21,240 Speaker 1: against the Bills based on some stuff that we saw 293 00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:24,280 Speaker 1: in practice. It just didn't never materialize. And I think 294 00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:28,200 Speaker 1: there were some opportunities where where you know, the ball 295 00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:31,160 Speaker 1: just wasn't thrown to John Nu Smith. So we'll see 296 00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:33,240 Speaker 1: moving forward if that happens. I knew John Nu Smith's 297 00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:35,280 Speaker 1: working hard. He's when the last guys off the practice 298 00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:38,920 Speaker 1: field here yesterday, catching passes when everybody else was inside 299 00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:42,160 Speaker 1: means a lot to him. And I think he's gonna 300 00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:44,400 Speaker 1: make some place for this team this year. But yeah, 301 00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:46,760 Speaker 1: the Delaney thing is going to be felt, I think 302 00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:50,480 Speaker 1: all season in some capacity. I mean, they'll find ways 303 00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:53,800 Speaker 1: to plug the hole. You hope, right, you get in 304 00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:56,640 Speaker 1: the next couple of weeks you start to see more 305 00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:59,840 Speaker 1: of that balance overall. But and we said it right 306 00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:04,200 Speaker 1: here on the OTP that it was arguably the most 307 00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:08,680 Speaker 1: significant non quarterback injury that the Titans have ever had 308 00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:13,760 Speaker 1: because of his level of production on third and third down, 309 00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:16,560 Speaker 1: red zone, but also the fact that you could line 310 00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:19,320 Speaker 1: him up anywhere. So if you are a receiver, down 311 00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:22,400 Speaker 1: play Delaney there. If you need to line up somebody 312 00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:25,359 Speaker 1: in the backfield, if you've got matchups, you know, coming 313 00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:28,600 Speaker 1: out of different things that work in various alignments. Because 314 00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:31,160 Speaker 1: of the guy's speed and athleticism, you can line him 315 00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:34,560 Speaker 1: up anywhere. He's truly a jack of all trades, master 316 00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:37,720 Speaker 1: of many And during training camp, how many times were 317 00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:40,480 Speaker 1: we looking at different position groups and maybe we could 318 00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:42,600 Speaker 1: use something over here, Adeline, you will do it. Well, 319 00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:45,600 Speaker 1: Maybe we need another receiver. Ad Delaney can do that. 320 00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:47,840 Speaker 1: Do we need another blocker? Ad Delaney can do that? 321 00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:50,880 Speaker 1: There are so many things. Sounds like an excuse, but 322 00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:53,760 Speaker 1: I think if you're a if you're a football fan, 323 00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:56,640 Speaker 1: I think you understand that that's still where they're going 324 00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:59,679 Speaker 1: and you know, still figuring out the tackle position. Maybe 325 00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:03,280 Speaker 1: the Dennis Kelly things. Seeing him practice yesterday was really 326 00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:05,600 Speaker 1: a great thing. It looks like he's put weight back 327 00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:08,600 Speaker 1: on and he feels better. Hopefully it's happening. He lost 328 00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:11,160 Speaker 1: fifteen pounds through this problems and then but he says 329 00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:12,960 Speaker 1: he's put it back and says he's probably acts a 330 00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:15,760 Speaker 1: little heavy than he needs to be. I watched him 331 00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:17,679 Speaker 1: in buffalo and warm ups, and he looked good. He 332 00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:20,879 Speaker 1: made the trup, was inactive obviously, but h but looks 333 00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:25,080 Speaker 1: like he's himself again. But he says he's not there yet. 334 00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:27,439 Speaker 1: He's still he's still working the rut, you know, some 335 00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:31,439 Speaker 1: of the getting some of the rust off. And I 336 00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:34,840 Speaker 1: know the hope is he can return to action as 337 00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:37,840 Speaker 1: soon as possible now. Talking to him again yesterday, and 338 00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:41,240 Speaker 1: this has been an ongoing deal with him ever since 339 00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:43,679 Speaker 1: he was hospitalized with this illness and came out and 340 00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:46,840 Speaker 1: again dealt with the weight. He still has some questions 341 00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:48,800 Speaker 1: and still has some things that need to be checked 342 00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:52,720 Speaker 1: off before he can return to the field. And as 343 00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:57,320 Speaker 1: of yesterday, at probably eleven fifty three, I think as 344 00:18:57,520 --> 00:18:59,400 Speaker 1: close to win locker room in it as he still 345 00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:01,399 Speaker 1: was not that point yet. So we'll just have to 346 00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:04,399 Speaker 1: see how that one plays out. I can't say putting 347 00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:06,960 Speaker 1: on fifteen pounds in like two weeks sounds like a 348 00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:10,720 Speaker 1: lot of fun. Yeah, well, doesn't that sound great? Yeah? 349 00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:13,080 Speaker 1: And he had gotten weak because he said, he just 350 00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:15,840 Speaker 1: didn't have an appetite. I didn't recognize when he first 351 00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:18,600 Speaker 1: came back into building the first I mean, there's not 352 00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:21,840 Speaker 1: a lot of six eight men building, but when I 353 00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:24,800 Speaker 1: saw him in the hall, I did not initially recognize him. 354 00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:28,440 Speaker 1: It was that different in terms of his facial appearance 355 00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:31,040 Speaker 1: based on the weight loss. So he said he couldn't 356 00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:33,960 Speaker 1: eat because of the appetite and a lack of an appetite, 357 00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:35,240 Speaker 1: and said some of that might have had to do 358 00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:37,679 Speaker 1: with the medication that he was on. And then I 359 00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:39,639 Speaker 1: kind of kid him, I said, would you start pounding 360 00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:42,320 Speaker 1: some cheeseburgers and he's and he pretty much said he's 361 00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:45,199 Speaker 1: just kind of he finally got back on the diet 362 00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:49,160 Speaker 1: and the routine that he was on before all this happened, 363 00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:53,600 Speaker 1: and said he's feeling a lot more like himself. But 364 00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:56,040 Speaker 1: it's you know, it's been a serious deal for him 365 00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:57,840 Speaker 1: because there's been a lot of questions, a lot of 366 00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:01,040 Speaker 1: things he had to check off, and a lot of concerns. 367 00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:05,040 Speaker 1: Obviously you have when doctors are looking into it could 368 00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:07,200 Speaker 1: be this, it could be that, And certainly he's aware 369 00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:09,760 Speaker 1: of everything that they all the scenarios that they pitched 370 00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:12,600 Speaker 1: to him. I get the sense that they feel like, 371 00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:17,040 Speaker 1: you know, some big things have been crossed off as 372 00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:20,920 Speaker 1: not this, which is good, but he's still dealing with 373 00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:23,960 Speaker 1: some uncertainty there. Like to have him against Baltimore though, 374 00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:27,080 Speaker 1: Oh absolutely, it would be great to have him against Baltimore, 375 00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:30,360 Speaker 1: especially with some question marks for Taylor Lawe. Yeah, yeah, 376 00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:33,840 Speaker 1: you'd like to have Taylor to one obviously, and we'll 377 00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:36,199 Speaker 1: have to see well that goes. I mean, I think 378 00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:38,959 Speaker 1: the good thing with Taylor's is when he has been around, 379 00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:41,280 Speaker 1: I mean, and he's dealt with this. Taylor's dealt with 380 00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:44,960 Speaker 1: his injuries since last week after week one, says it's 381 00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:47,479 Speaker 1: been swelling up on him and he feels like he 382 00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:50,760 Speaker 1: knows what it is. You know, you don't see him 383 00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:53,879 Speaker 1: walking around here in crutches. But at the same time, 384 00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:57,280 Speaker 1: you don't want to push that one either to make 385 00:20:57,359 --> 00:21:00,600 Speaker 1: it worse. Let's talk about outside linebackers to this point 386 00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:04,800 Speaker 1: and what we've seen a rack po probably coming off 387 00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:07,720 Speaker 1: his best game, his most productive game as a tackler, 388 00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:12,000 Speaker 1: Harold Landry was productive in the run game, actually had 389 00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:16,200 Speaker 1: a special Teams Tackle Korea back in there for this 390 00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:19,439 Speaker 1: ball game and able to help out Morgan doing what 391 00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:21,880 Speaker 1: he's doing, Finch getting to play. What do we think 392 00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:24,760 Speaker 1: of the outside linebackers so far? I need to see 393 00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:27,760 Speaker 1: more out of him. I think, certainly flashed and done 394 00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:33,080 Speaker 1: some done some good things, but not impacting games, probably 395 00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:36,760 Speaker 1: as much as this team needs him to moving forward. 396 00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:40,760 Speaker 1: I think you've seen Harold Landry with flashes, especially the 397 00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:44,280 Speaker 1: game against the Eagles where he sacks Wentz and creates 398 00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:47,959 Speaker 1: to fumble yourself. Finch get a sack, you know, Korea 399 00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:52,320 Speaker 1: with a couple of sacks here and then I think 400 00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:54,600 Speaker 1: I think with Morgan and a rack Po they've done 401 00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:56,520 Speaker 1: some of the dirty work and done some things that 402 00:21:56,560 --> 00:22:00,240 Speaker 1: don't necessarily rack up a lot of stats. But I 403 00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:02,800 Speaker 1: get the sense that they're both kind of on the verge. 404 00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:05,359 Speaker 1: And what you want to see moving forward is they 405 00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:10,600 Speaker 1: kind of clear that hurdle and go from impacting games. Uh. Well, 406 00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:13,159 Speaker 1: I think they're playing well, but not getting a recognition 407 00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:16,359 Speaker 1: to whether they're changing games because of sacks and forced 408 00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:20,440 Speaker 1: fumbles and creating turnovers. Gosh, I want Derek Morgan to 409 00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:23,240 Speaker 1: just have a game where he fires off and has 410 00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:26,280 Speaker 1: like four sacks in a game. That's what I want 411 00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:29,480 Speaker 1: for him. He works so hard. He is such a 412 00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:33,160 Speaker 1: consistent player, and he never gets the recognition that he deserves. 413 00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:37,239 Speaker 1: And it drives me. Banana. You're going to say that too, though, Well, 414 00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:41,200 Speaker 1: he's gonna say, why wouldn't you want me to have? Well? 415 00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:44,720 Speaker 1: Because well, because Rack goes to the Pro Bowls, Rack 416 00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:48,200 Speaker 1: gets everybody knows Brian A. Rackpos from the Geico commercials 417 00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:51,080 Speaker 1: and all the other thing. Brian A. Rack po is Briano. 418 00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:54,280 Speaker 1: He's he's a presence, he's a person. Derek Morgan does 419 00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:56,800 Speaker 1: not get the recognition that I think he deserves. You know, 420 00:22:56,840 --> 00:22:59,440 Speaker 1: he just had his hundredth start to see and nobody 421 00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:02,200 Speaker 1: talked about counting playoffs he just had and you know 422 00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:06,119 Speaker 1: he's battled knee stuff and he has been a consistently 423 00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:09,320 Speaker 1: good player for this organization for nine years. I agree 424 00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:11,040 Speaker 1: with you. I would like for any of them to 425 00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:13,840 Speaker 1: have four sacks. I'm starting. I don't care no offense 426 00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:16,480 Speaker 1: to Derek or any of them. If if there's a 427 00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:19,280 Speaker 1: four sack game in there, any of them can have it, 428 00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:22,160 Speaker 1: that's fine. I'm starting a Pro Bowl campaign for Derek Morgan. 429 00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:25,040 Speaker 1: Starts now. It's the four sacks to get. Well. See, 430 00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:28,280 Speaker 1: there you go, He is a great guy, the hard 431 00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:31,040 Speaker 1: working guy. And you know, I still remember him coming 432 00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:33,320 Speaker 1: in the league and then getting hurt in Week four. 433 00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:35,600 Speaker 1: I think of his rookie year against the Broncos, and 434 00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:37,920 Speaker 1: I know he's talked before about what kind of a 435 00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:41,000 Speaker 1: life changing moment that was for him because he worked 436 00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:43,600 Speaker 1: his whole life at football and then had it taken 437 00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:47,080 Speaker 1: away and questions about whether he would come back, And uh, 438 00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:49,600 Speaker 1: I think it made him work harder and made him 439 00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:53,520 Speaker 1: expand his game where he is kind of an all 440 00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:57,159 Speaker 1: around player. He's dealt with so many changes around here. 441 00:23:57,160 --> 00:23:59,400 Speaker 1: I mean, he's the guy that has gone back to Fisher, 442 00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:03,479 Speaker 1: you know, to Munchok, to wizzen Hunt, to Malarkey to Vrabel. 443 00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:05,760 Speaker 1: He's he's seen it all and been through all these 444 00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:10,760 Speaker 1: coordinators and seen so many changes in this locker room. Uh. Now, 445 00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:12,920 Speaker 1: you'd like to see a guy like that, you know, 446 00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:16,040 Speaker 1: rewarded for his for the effort he's put in Pro 447 00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:20,920 Speaker 1: Bowl twenty nineteen, Derek Morgan, you give twenty eighteen season 448 00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:26,880 Speaker 1: twenty yeah, twenty nineteen Pro Bowl, that's the years. Yeah. 449 00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:29,800 Speaker 1: Kind of like how he row in my campaign, kind 450 00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:35,360 Speaker 1: of like how he broke down the greatest endings are 451 00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:39,080 Speaker 1: on the phone when yeah you were, That's just like 452 00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:42,560 Speaker 1: being in with Jay Z. It's a big time. All right, 453 00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:47,840 Speaker 1: let's take a look at uh, the AFC South right now, 454 00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:51,800 Speaker 1: it got more interested. Unfortunately, it got more interesting this weekend. 455 00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:54,359 Speaker 1: I would have liked to have seen one team at 456 00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:58,520 Speaker 1: four and one, and then well they're the Titans leading 457 00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:02,320 Speaker 1: the division. That Jaguars are three and two, the Texans 458 00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:05,520 Speaker 1: are now two and three with back to back overtime wins, 459 00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:09,920 Speaker 1: and the Colts are one and four. All right, so 460 00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:13,600 Speaker 1: the Colts have the Jets this weekend. I think they're 461 00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:17,560 Speaker 1: gonna win that game. The Bills are not going to 462 00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:22,399 Speaker 1: beat the Texans. Where's that game in Houston? Yeah, no chance, No, 463 00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:26,439 Speaker 1: then it's not happening. The Jaguars play at Dallas. That'll 464 00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:29,520 Speaker 1: be a good game. Yeah. The first two the Bills 465 00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:32,560 Speaker 1: and the Texans and the Jets and the Colts are 466 00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:36,159 Speaker 1: noon games Central Time, and then the Jaguars and the 467 00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:39,240 Speaker 1: Cowboys and the Titans and the Ravens are three twenty 468 00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:44,120 Speaker 1: five games. So I think there's a there's a real 469 00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:47,560 Speaker 1: chance all four teams win this weekend in the AFC South, 470 00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:50,600 Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be bunched up all year long, 471 00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:52,720 Speaker 1: because I think the Colts are gonna be a lot 472 00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:56,560 Speaker 1: better team in November and December than they are right now. 473 00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:59,040 Speaker 1: I think they're I think Luck's gonna be better with 474 00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:03,840 Speaker 1: his weapons, but I think they're going to improve defensively too. Really, Yes, see, 475 00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:06,720 Speaker 1: I keep waiting for the injuries to set in over there. 476 00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:10,159 Speaker 1: Something's going to happen, and once one it's like the 477 00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:15,800 Speaker 1: injury budge. We're saying their luck has run out. Yes, 478 00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:19,680 Speaker 1: but I mean, let's face it, though, they're the organization 479 00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:24,040 Speaker 1: who had a once in a lifetime quarterback and then 480 00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:27,119 Speaker 1: got another once in a lifetime quarterback, right, it was 481 00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:31,280 Speaker 1: pretty remarkable year. Yeah, one bad year and they got 482 00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:34,440 Speaker 1: to segue to this guy. So your your feeling is 483 00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:38,600 Speaker 1: their string of good fortune that takarma is against them. 484 00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:41,720 Speaker 1: I think that the Cults for the last maybe three 485 00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:45,159 Speaker 1: years have run into some rocky roads and they have 486 00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:48,280 Speaker 1: been held together with just chewing gum and baling wire. 487 00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:53,080 Speaker 1: I mean, they had some interesting roster decisions made, They've 488 00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:56,920 Speaker 1: had some interesting drafts, They've made some weird choices, and 489 00:26:57,119 --> 00:27:00,960 Speaker 1: I think that while yes, Andrew's back and he looks healthy, 490 00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:05,159 Speaker 1: and he seems to be playing pretty well. The pieces 491 00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:10,200 Speaker 1: around them around him are so rickety that I think 492 00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:13,840 Speaker 1: it just takes one injury, one misstep, which happens to 493 00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:17,399 Speaker 1: every single team and a whole trust me. Yeah, but 494 00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:20,040 Speaker 1: and the walls are going to come come crumbling down. 495 00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:22,639 Speaker 1: I mean, there's just a moment where your karma in 496 00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:25,800 Speaker 1: this league just sort of runs out in a weird way. 497 00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:30,200 Speaker 1: And it's like this morning, as we do this edition 498 00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:34,639 Speaker 1: of the OTP, twenty two of the thirty two NFL 499 00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:38,840 Speaker 1: teams have either two or three wins, So roughly seventy 500 00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:42,400 Speaker 1: percent of the league two wins or three wins. Guess 501 00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:45,520 Speaker 1: what that means. Nobody's out of it, right, Yeah, And 502 00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:47,240 Speaker 1: I'm looking at the Colts, was coming up. We're gonna 503 00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:49,720 Speaker 1: find out about them here one and four before to 504 00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:51,879 Speaker 1: get to the halfway point. They got the Jets, they 505 00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:54,760 Speaker 1: got the Bills, they got the writers, and so they 506 00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:56,440 Speaker 1: could be four and four. They could get there, and 507 00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:59,120 Speaker 1: then and then the scheduled turns where they've got Jacksonville 508 00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:03,560 Speaker 1: than the Tops, than the Dolphins, and at Jacksonville, Uh, 509 00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:05,000 Speaker 1: you know, we got a little bit of a turn 510 00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:06,920 Speaker 1: to schedule here. But we'll find out if they're gonna 511 00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:10,840 Speaker 1: be a contender here. I do think Houston is on 512 00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:15,160 Speaker 1: the way back up, and uh, I think they're they're 513 00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:18,120 Speaker 1: gonna be an They're gonna be a factor in this thing. 514 00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:22,200 Speaker 1: As we've got their offensive line figured out. They could 515 00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:27,720 Speaker 1: be more dangerous than Jacksonville because Jacksonville's schedule, due to 516 00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:30,160 Speaker 1: the fact that they've drawn the first place the two 517 00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:35,320 Speaker 1: extra first place games, Jacksonville's schedule is rougher, so as 518 00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:37,600 Speaker 1: you as you look at the two teams, sort of 519 00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:40,120 Speaker 1: it's like Jacksonville goes to Dallas this week. That's a 520 00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:43,280 Speaker 1: game Jacksonville ought to win, but that's no gimme m 521 00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:47,640 Speaker 1: I mean week, Well, Dallas is better on defense, and 522 00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:51,840 Speaker 1: if if that turns into a seventeen fourteen game, again, 523 00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:55,240 Speaker 1: Jacksonville ought to win it, but they could be three 524 00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:58,880 Speaker 1: and three at this point. Houston schedule is more favorable 525 00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:02,479 Speaker 1: go the rest of the way, and they have Deshaun 526 00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:06,760 Speaker 1: Watching at quarterback, who you could argue is better than 527 00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:10,880 Speaker 1: Jacksonville's quarterback. They have DeAndre Hopkins at wide receiver, who 528 00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:16,840 Speaker 1: you could argue is better than any wide receiver Jacksonville has. Well, 529 00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:19,920 Speaker 1: I'm just saying comparatively, and then it running back with 530 00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:25,000 Speaker 1: Lamar Miller and Alfred Blue. Are they as good as Fournette. 531 00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:28,360 Speaker 1: I don't think so. But Fournette's not there and won't 532 00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:30,160 Speaker 1: be there this week. Yeah, I mean, and that's an 533 00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:32,200 Speaker 1: issue with those hamstring as. You just don't know how 534 00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:35,240 Speaker 1: long that's gonna linger. So you know, Houston coming up, 535 00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:39,760 Speaker 1: Buffalo this weekend, then at Jacksonville, then the Dolphins, then 536 00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:42,880 Speaker 1: at the Broncos, at the Redskins. They got They've got 537 00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:46,920 Speaker 1: some challenging games coming up as well. This team, you know, 538 00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:48,920 Speaker 1: needs to get back on track and take care of 539 00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:51,560 Speaker 1: business here because this you know, that game against Buffalo 540 00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:55,520 Speaker 1: probably you know, as far as matchups probably was the 541 00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:59,000 Speaker 1: most favorable matchup that's on this well that's the horizon. 542 00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:01,719 Speaker 1: That's a bite you in the but yeah, I mean 543 00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:04,880 Speaker 1: it is. But that means so you have to go 544 00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:08,440 Speaker 1: somewhere on the schedule and get it back. And maybe 545 00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:12,239 Speaker 1: they did, maybe they already did beating Jacksonville. Yeah, I mean, 546 00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:15,280 Speaker 1: And that's and that's one of the challenges of getting 547 00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:19,800 Speaker 1: over this thing because everybody understands you played that poorly 548 00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:22,640 Speaker 1: and you were still just a missed kick away from 549 00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:28,400 Speaker 1: winning that game, So you know, that's one you should 550 00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:31,480 Speaker 1: win in most cases. But now you've got Baltimore, and 551 00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:35,040 Speaker 1: the big thing is you can't let Buffalo beat you twice. Yeah, 552 00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:37,680 Speaker 1: and I think Vayball has done a great job this 553 00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:42,160 Speaker 1: week turning the page. Yeah yeah, yeah. But Baltimore, you know, 554 00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:44,840 Speaker 1: looking at it from their vanished point, They're coming in 555 00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:46,920 Speaker 1: here feeling the same way. I mean, they were feeling 556 00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:48,920 Speaker 1: good about themselves three and one and then go to 557 00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:51,520 Speaker 1: Cleveland and lose on a game where they didn't score touchdown. 558 00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:56,400 Speaker 1: So two hungry teams, teams that need to win, going 559 00:30:56,480 --> 00:31:00,120 Speaker 1: to be squaring off. You know, I expect this teamvy. 560 00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:03,080 Speaker 1: I expect Baltimore to come in here swinging as well. 561 00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:07,120 Speaker 1: I thought the Titans had a really good Wednesday practice yesterday, 562 00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:11,160 Speaker 1: And it goes back to Mike Rabel's tempo on Monday 563 00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:14,960 Speaker 1: with the team and then with the media, and you 564 00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:17,800 Speaker 1: know what people have seen about taking a responsibility and 565 00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:21,560 Speaker 1: then saying, but we're turning the page. The guys got 566 00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:23,760 Speaker 1: back out there and clearly wanted to get at it, 567 00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:26,240 Speaker 1: and they did yesterday. Absolutely, it was a good It 568 00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:28,960 Speaker 1: was a high spirited practice. People seemed to be excited, 569 00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:33,040 Speaker 1: and after practice I noticed usually once they're done with practice, 570 00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:36,680 Speaker 1: guys will kind of run what are they called gas 571 00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:40,720 Speaker 1: gas gassers, And they didn't do that yesterday. They broke 572 00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:44,760 Speaker 1: into their individual position groups and we're working specifically, and 573 00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:48,720 Speaker 1: some position groups did run, but other groups worked on 574 00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:51,560 Speaker 1: specific drills and technique things, which I thought was really 575 00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:55,880 Speaker 1: interesting and really important coming off of a game where 576 00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:59,000 Speaker 1: a lot of mistakes were made. I put the Gays 577 00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:01,400 Speaker 1: to the gauntlet too, I guess I know the drill 578 00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:04,920 Speaker 1: early in practice where guys are laying down on the ground, 579 00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:08,440 Speaker 1: stand up, and you've got coaches, you know, knocking them 580 00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:11,880 Speaker 1: with the pads. There, got coach with a boxing glove 581 00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:15,400 Speaker 1: on swinging at the ball, you know, doing some things 582 00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:17,960 Speaker 1: in space to try to make sure guys are aware 583 00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:19,600 Speaker 1: to hold one of that ball. He saw a couple 584 00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:22,640 Speaker 1: of fumbles this week, you know, from Taywan Taylor and 585 00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:24,920 Speaker 1: Dion Lewis, and that's the kind of stuff that has 586 00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:27,480 Speaker 1: to be cleaned up. No, Raybell I think does a 587 00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:32,240 Speaker 1: great job of just not Obviously he's an emotional coach. 588 00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:36,240 Speaker 1: He's he's a teacher, but he's consistent and he's the 589 00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:38,760 Speaker 1: same way every weekend. I've been impressed with that he's 590 00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:42,600 Speaker 1: been post game and on in his Monday press conferences 591 00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:46,520 Speaker 1: as as far as not getting too high and feeling 592 00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:49,040 Speaker 1: too good after a win and not getting worked up 593 00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:54,640 Speaker 1: and and being defensive and panicking after losses. Impressive to 594 00:32:55,320 --> 00:33:01,040 Speaker 1: the fundamental stuff that they are still working on in season. 595 00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:04,880 Speaker 1: They it was something that Vrabel talked about early on, 596 00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:07,320 Speaker 1: and I know Leaflora talked about it with the quarterbacks 597 00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:10,080 Speaker 1: when he interviewed for the job. It was you've got 598 00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:12,000 Speaker 1: to Maine, and I'm talking about interviewed for the head 599 00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:17,160 Speaker 1: coaching job. You've got to continue to work on fundamentals 600 00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:20,640 Speaker 1: throughout the season. You've got to take time in practice, 601 00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:24,720 Speaker 1: So maybe you set your walkthroughs differently for those teaching 602 00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:27,640 Speaker 1: periods about the game plan, but you make sure and 603 00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:30,520 Speaker 1: take a few minutes to talk about ball security, to 604 00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:35,200 Speaker 1: go over tackling angles, to making sure that you're doing 605 00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:37,959 Speaker 1: all of these sorts of things when your body doesn't 606 00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:41,040 Speaker 1: feel quite as good and you have to focus on 607 00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:43,120 Speaker 1: those extra things. And it was it was something I 608 00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:47,400 Speaker 1: saw in vrabel practices with the conditioning and the technique things, 609 00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:49,600 Speaker 1: because you get the idea with him as a player 610 00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:53,080 Speaker 1: that he won in fourth quarters because he was in 611 00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:56,320 Speaker 1: great shape, and that because he was in great shape, 612 00:33:56,360 --> 00:33:59,480 Speaker 1: he kept working technique, he used his mind, he was 613 00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:02,520 Speaker 1: in the right spots, he didn't get a step behind 614 00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:05,120 Speaker 1: because he was tired, or have his hands in the 615 00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:07,560 Speaker 1: wrong place. I think he has such a belief in 616 00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:11,360 Speaker 1: that it carries over to his coaching. I agree. I 617 00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:15,480 Speaker 1: mean he's certainly, you know, as a player. I think 618 00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:17,440 Speaker 1: he learned also from some of the coaches he was 619 00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:21,040 Speaker 1: around in the league, whether it's Belichick, Kawer, you know, 620 00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:24,600 Speaker 1: he just was taught well, but he was. But at 621 00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:26,319 Speaker 1: the same time, it's kind of a self taught player 622 00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:28,319 Speaker 1: because I get the sense that he put the extra 623 00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:30,759 Speaker 1: work in. There's no doubt, you know, talking to some 624 00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:33,279 Speaker 1: of his teammates, you know New England at you know, 625 00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:36,719 Speaker 1: prior media appearances, they talked about how he was as 626 00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:39,480 Speaker 1: a player and how things weren't done right in practice. 627 00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:42,080 Speaker 1: If a practice squad guy wasn't doing things correctly, he'd 628 00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:44,160 Speaker 1: step in there and take a rep for him. And 629 00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:46,520 Speaker 1: you kind of see it in the way he teaches 630 00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:50,480 Speaker 1: out here on the practice fields just out this window. Well, 631 00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:52,840 Speaker 1: and he has said time and time again, he wants 632 00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:56,440 Speaker 1: these guys to get used to playing and being uncomfortable 633 00:34:56,520 --> 00:34:59,600 Speaker 1: while they're playing, because everybody gets hurt during a football season. 634 00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:03,480 Speaker 1: Not curily injured, sure, but wounded somehow. And so he 635 00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:07,320 Speaker 1: wanted guys early to get used to being uncomfortable, to 636 00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:11,239 Speaker 1: be pushing through things, to be fighting adversity throughout the game. 637 00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:14,719 Speaker 1: And that's what makes this team such a strong team 638 00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:17,400 Speaker 1: when it counts. Gonna need it this weekend. Heck, yes, 639 00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:19,560 Speaker 1: they are, all right, let's do this. Do we have 640 00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:24,120 Speaker 1: the injury report? I think we probably do. We probably do, 641 00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:27,360 Speaker 1: and just to have an opportunity to go through it. 642 00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:31,359 Speaker 1: Not a lot. A couple of surprises yesterday. The Wilcompton 643 00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:34,480 Speaker 1: thing caught everybody off guard with the hamstring. He did 644 00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:38,840 Speaker 1: not practice, and then Robert Spillane called up from the 645 00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:43,680 Speaker 1: practice squad, didn't do everything with a knee. And then 646 00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:47,360 Speaker 1: Wesley Woodyard was back out there for the individual period, 647 00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:51,800 Speaker 1: which is that return to practice protocol type thing that 648 00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:56,000 Speaker 1: Vrabel talks about. But the players were clearly thrilled. The 649 00:35:56,080 --> 00:36:00,239 Speaker 1: linebackers were clearly thrilled to see Woodyard back at practice. Yeah. 650 00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:01,759 Speaker 1: I mean, we talked so much about what a tone 651 00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:03,800 Speaker 1: set or Delanney Walker is. I mean, I think Western 652 00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:06,719 Speaker 1: Woodard's that guy in the defense, and I think, you know, 653 00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:08,520 Speaker 1: the hope is that he'll be able to work his 654 00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:10,520 Speaker 1: way back and be out on the field. They missed him. 655 00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:13,880 Speaker 1: John brown play has been playing great, but uh, Westley 656 00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:18,200 Speaker 1: Woodard was missed on Sunday. I think the Spellane move 657 00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:21,760 Speaker 1: was was probably made in part because of the Compton injury. 658 00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:25,960 Speaker 1: Unfortunately for Spain. He he you know, he's dealing with 659 00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:29,640 Speaker 1: a knee himself. Uh. You know, you'd love to see 660 00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:32,120 Speaker 1: a guy rewarded for the work he's putting in. That's 661 00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:34,759 Speaker 1: one thing that Mike Rabel and John Robinson done as 662 00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:38,480 Speaker 1: they've called guys up and giving him a chance to 663 00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:41,040 Speaker 1: play if they've put the work in practice. Splean is 664 00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:45,200 Speaker 1: that guy, h you know, he he's had a great preseason, 665 00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:49,680 Speaker 1: has been working hard. It's crazy he gets called up 666 00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:53,759 Speaker 1: and gets promoted the roster. And it was the same 667 00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:56,800 Speaker 1: day as his parents twenty fifth wedding anniversary, so he 668 00:36:56,920 --> 00:36:58,680 Speaker 1: is able to call him and tell him, hey, I 669 00:36:58,719 --> 00:37:01,000 Speaker 1: got a great present for you. And he's got a 670 00:37:01,040 --> 00:37:03,280 Speaker 1: lot of just tappen to have a lot of family 671 00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:06,920 Speaker 1: coming here. For h for the game, and then he 672 00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:09,880 Speaker 1: has a setback he's dealing with. So you hope that 673 00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:14,000 Speaker 1: that's not something that that limits him moving forward. U, 674 00:37:14,239 --> 00:37:16,719 Speaker 1: but some you have some questions there at linebacker. Those 675 00:37:16,760 --> 00:37:19,160 Speaker 1: are the three that jump out out at me. In 676 00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:23,239 Speaker 1: addition to the lawan injury. What a heartwarming tale? Well, 677 00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:25,160 Speaker 1: I tell you what would be more nice? It's great 678 00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:29,880 Speaker 1: what you hate it? When I like, why does that 679 00:37:30,040 --> 00:37:33,120 Speaker 1: bother you? It does not bother me. And I'm very 680 00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:35,719 Speaker 1: and I know he has a large extended family. He 681 00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:39,160 Speaker 1: has grandfather won a Heisman Trophy. See, so he is 682 00:37:39,239 --> 00:37:41,600 Speaker 1: one of twenty five grandchildren, so I know he has 683 00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:45,480 Speaker 1: and it has fifty first cousins. He said that yesterday 684 00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:47,880 Speaker 1: and I was I could I had to make him 685 00:37:47,960 --> 00:37:52,280 Speaker 1: repeat it. That's well, but again, there were twenty five 686 00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:58,120 Speaker 1: grandchildren and so not totally surprising that there would be 687 00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:01,080 Speaker 1: fifty first cousins right with a total of Yeah, I 688 00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:05,440 Speaker 1: mean it's a it's crazy, yes, But but if I 689 00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:08,520 Speaker 1: gathered that information for that tale, and then and then 690 00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:10,799 Speaker 1: he ends up on the injury report, I didn't feel 691 00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:12,960 Speaker 1: like I should be riding that yet. Uh, you know, 692 00:38:13,480 --> 00:38:15,680 Speaker 1: because I guess we'll kind of see how things play 693 00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:19,480 Speaker 1: out from here. Here's the happy story. The happy story 694 00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:22,040 Speaker 1: put on hold, here's the happy story I want from him. 695 00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:25,840 Speaker 1: I think he has a chance to be a great 696 00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:29,840 Speaker 1: special teams player. I mean, like the guy, you know, 697 00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:32,120 Speaker 1: one of those dudes that has a chance to go 698 00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:37,200 Speaker 1: to the Pro Bowl like that. Yeah, yeah, like like 699 00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:39,880 Speaker 1: Patrick Bailey or Tim Shaw. I think I think he 700 00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:44,600 Speaker 1: has a chance because he's a good athlete. He's six one, 701 00:38:44,719 --> 00:38:47,719 Speaker 1: he's two thirty, he can run a little bit. Uh, 702 00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:51,480 Speaker 1: He's obviously a tough guy. He understands the game. He's 703 00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:55,240 Speaker 1: very coachable, and he might end up being a starter 704 00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:58,320 Speaker 1: on defense maybe so. I mean, the Titans have invested 705 00:38:58,360 --> 00:39:01,160 Speaker 1: a first round pick there, and jay On Brown looks good. 706 00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:03,160 Speaker 1: You never know what's going to happen. Maybe that happens, 707 00:39:03,239 --> 00:39:06,520 Speaker 1: But just looking at it from the right now moment, 708 00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:09,600 Speaker 1: I mean, this is a guy who could potentially lead 709 00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:14,279 Speaker 1: you in special teams tackles. Take it well, that's sounds great. 710 00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:17,480 Speaker 1: That's where I think he can have his first impact 711 00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:20,040 Speaker 1: on this ball club. And that's kind of the happy 712 00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:22,919 Speaker 1: story I want and this guy, and it's not talking 713 00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:26,040 Speaker 1: about your head. It's a little less you know, magical. 714 00:39:26,239 --> 00:39:29,759 Speaker 1: But yeah, that would be fine. Not to me. If 715 00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:32,840 Speaker 1: he ends up with twenty special teams tackles, that's magical. 716 00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:37,239 Speaker 1: Let me tell you something that's magical. Yeah, and it's great. 717 00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:39,200 Speaker 1: And for this Titans team, I think they need a 718 00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:41,320 Speaker 1: player like that. I think that's so exciting. But like 719 00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:44,600 Speaker 1: it doesn't a tier tier. Yeah it does. I'll cry, 720 00:39:45,160 --> 00:39:49,440 Speaker 1: I promise, I'll come on the OTP and cryep. Maybe 721 00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:53,440 Speaker 1: I want to win, Okay, I'm here to win. And 722 00:39:53,760 --> 00:39:58,359 Speaker 1: that's so good and just just bluntly honest that it's 723 00:39:58,360 --> 00:40:02,000 Speaker 1: all about. But I think the guy's a good football player. 724 00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:05,479 Speaker 1: And I like that the Titans and we were talking 725 00:40:05,520 --> 00:40:08,200 Speaker 1: about it earlier with you know, the practice squad wide 726 00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:11,399 Speaker 1: receivers and tight ends. I love that Robinson has guys 727 00:40:11,520 --> 00:40:14,440 Speaker 1: like this in the pipeline. I love that the Titans 728 00:40:14,480 --> 00:40:18,120 Speaker 1: are developing their own players. Because here's the wild thing. 729 00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:21,719 Speaker 1: So I'm getting ready for the Ravens and I do 730 00:40:21,880 --> 00:40:23,640 Speaker 1: these sheets and you guys have seen them and there 731 00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:27,680 Speaker 1: and they have like the last twelve drafts of every team, 732 00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:32,480 Speaker 1: It's amazing how many guys still play for the Baltimore 733 00:40:32,600 --> 00:40:36,880 Speaker 1: Ravens who were drafted by the Baltimore Ravens. Yep. I 734 00:40:36,960 --> 00:40:40,320 Speaker 1: mean there are guys on the Buffalo franchise. Well, I 735 00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:44,520 Speaker 1: looked at their two fifteen draft and there's nobody there. 736 00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:47,799 Speaker 1: They've still got a guy from two thousand and three 737 00:40:47,960 --> 00:40:52,480 Speaker 1: they drafted Terrell Sucks and as you got Marshall Yonda, 738 00:40:52,719 --> 00:40:56,320 Speaker 1: and I mean up and down their roster. Ozzie Newsome 739 00:40:56,960 --> 00:40:59,480 Speaker 1: always has these guys in the funnel. One of the 740 00:40:59,560 --> 00:41:05,239 Speaker 1: greats of all time. Give him total credit. But they 741 00:41:05,400 --> 00:41:09,320 Speaker 1: are like the Green Bay Packers, like the Pittsburgh Steelers. 742 00:41:09,640 --> 00:41:13,759 Speaker 1: They are self developed teams. And when you're able to 743 00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:18,240 Speaker 1: do that, you generally don't have cat problems. You're able 744 00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:21,560 Speaker 1: to put yourself in a much better position when you 745 00:41:21,760 --> 00:41:24,160 Speaker 1: have injuries because you have guys who know your system. 746 00:41:24,520 --> 00:41:27,480 Speaker 1: And I think John Robinson that's one of the underrated 747 00:41:27,600 --> 00:41:32,919 Speaker 1: things that he's done well. And again not talking about necessarily. 748 00:41:33,800 --> 00:41:37,799 Speaker 1: Maybe Robert Spillane becomes maybe he's another Robert Brazil. Maybe 749 00:41:37,880 --> 00:41:40,680 Speaker 1: that happens. But the point is all I'm asking for 750 00:41:41,080 --> 00:41:43,960 Speaker 1: is can you be the great kick cover guy? Because 751 00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:48,040 Speaker 1: if you are, you're paying a half million dollars less 752 00:41:48,120 --> 00:41:50,640 Speaker 1: a year for him than you would be to go 753 00:41:50,680 --> 00:41:53,319 Speaker 1: out and sign a veteran, which gives you a half 754 00:41:53,360 --> 00:41:55,920 Speaker 1: million dollars to spend somewhere else, which is what the 755 00:41:56,080 --> 00:41:59,560 Speaker 1: Ravens have been masters. How have they stayed so good 756 00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:03,000 Speaker 1: for along? They've developed their own players. Yeah, they keep 757 00:42:03,040 --> 00:42:05,160 Speaker 1: all of their guys around there, and Aussy is so 758 00:42:05,520 --> 00:42:08,440 Speaker 1: smart when it comes. I'm glad he's retiring. I know, 759 00:42:08,760 --> 00:42:14,319 Speaker 1: I know, but please quit um who's behind him? Their 760 00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:18,680 Speaker 1: new GM who's coming? Oh my gosh, he's a very 761 00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:22,480 Speaker 1: nice man. Well, I mean, anyway, he's very good, I understand, 762 00:42:22,480 --> 00:42:25,560 Speaker 1: but he's not aus No, nobody's ausy. But he does 763 00:42:25,640 --> 00:42:29,080 Speaker 1: such a good job of mapping out where guys came from, 764 00:42:29,200 --> 00:42:32,040 Speaker 1: how we can keep them and the money and everything. 765 00:42:32,160 --> 00:42:35,600 Speaker 1: It's nuts, and it's not only helps you with the cab. 766 00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:38,160 Speaker 1: That's how you kind of build a culture. Just keep 767 00:42:38,200 --> 00:42:40,759 Speaker 1: your own guys and instead of you know, it's it's hard, 768 00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:43,799 Speaker 1: you know, that's like the receiver position here. People want 769 00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:46,800 Speaker 1: to uh want to see him bring a guy in 770 00:42:46,880 --> 00:42:49,239 Speaker 1: off the street, and it takes a while only for 771 00:42:49,239 --> 00:42:51,760 Speaker 1: you got to fit in and learn the system. But also, 772 00:42:52,160 --> 00:42:55,359 Speaker 1: you know, it's hard to know a guy's personality. That's 773 00:42:55,360 --> 00:42:58,080 Speaker 1: why free agency is so hard, now, is that and 774 00:42:58,320 --> 00:43:00,480 Speaker 1: why you like to see play? You know, teams keep 775 00:43:00,520 --> 00:43:04,080 Speaker 1: their own because you know, lead up to the draft, 776 00:43:04,640 --> 00:43:06,680 Speaker 1: you get to know these guys in the process. You 777 00:43:06,800 --> 00:43:08,880 Speaker 1: pick them, they stay with you. If you're trying to 778 00:43:08,920 --> 00:43:10,920 Speaker 1: find a guy in free agency, you don't know some 779 00:43:11,120 --> 00:43:14,040 Speaker 1: of some of them. You know, you can find out 780 00:43:14,120 --> 00:43:15,960 Speaker 1: some information along the way, but you don't really know 781 00:43:16,080 --> 00:43:17,759 Speaker 1: the guy to you get him in the building. Well, 782 00:43:17,840 --> 00:43:21,319 Speaker 1: and here's the other point too, When when a team 783 00:43:21,480 --> 00:43:27,280 Speaker 1: lets a free agent go, they know his off field history, 784 00:43:27,960 --> 00:43:31,880 Speaker 1: they know his medical history, they know anything else about 785 00:43:31,960 --> 00:43:36,719 Speaker 1: his personality or anything going on with this player that 786 00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:42,120 Speaker 1: you don't know. Right. It isn't like trading for a 787 00:43:42,320 --> 00:43:45,160 Speaker 1: right fielder or for a guy out of the bullpen 788 00:43:45,360 --> 00:43:47,400 Speaker 1: who you just put on a different uniform and come 789 00:43:47,480 --> 00:43:50,080 Speaker 1: do the same thing. I mean you you get a 790 00:43:50,200 --> 00:43:55,280 Speaker 1: whole different set of issues. And that's why now sometimes 791 00:43:55,360 --> 00:43:57,359 Speaker 1: teams have to let guys go because they just don't 792 00:43:57,360 --> 00:43:59,560 Speaker 1: have the money, or a guy gets a better offer 793 00:43:59,840 --> 00:44:04,520 Speaker 1: or or whatever it happens. But that knowledge and being 794 00:44:04,600 --> 00:44:08,640 Speaker 1: able to work within your own group, knowing that this 795 00:44:08,800 --> 00:44:12,560 Speaker 1: guy's sensitive, this guy is really not sensitive. This guy 796 00:44:12,719 --> 00:44:15,879 Speaker 1: is about this. This guy has a shoulder. We might 797 00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:18,520 Speaker 1: be able to get another year or two out of him. 798 00:44:18,719 --> 00:44:22,960 Speaker 1: But it's these are things that you that internal knowledge 799 00:44:23,560 --> 00:44:25,879 Speaker 1: is not factored in so much when you talk about 800 00:44:25,960 --> 00:44:28,279 Speaker 1: trade for this guy, right, do you know do this? 801 00:44:28,640 --> 00:44:31,759 Speaker 1: Sometimes all of those movements, it's a devil you know, 802 00:44:31,960 --> 00:44:35,239 Speaker 1: versus devil you don't situation, And sometimes it's better to 803 00:44:35,320 --> 00:44:38,239 Speaker 1: keep the guys you know, with the quirks than bring 804 00:44:38,360 --> 00:44:41,640 Speaker 1: in someone completely new and you don't really know what 805 00:44:41,760 --> 00:44:46,359 Speaker 1: you're getting. Also, Erica Costas, if you're listening, I'm so sorry. Yeah, 806 00:44:46,960 --> 00:44:49,400 Speaker 1: are you really? I am sorry. He's very nice. All right, 807 00:44:49,480 --> 00:44:51,880 Speaker 1: so let's see how sorry you are about. Amy Wells 808 00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:55,080 Speaker 1: wonders today as we change the subject. All right, Amy Well, 809 00:44:55,160 --> 00:44:58,800 Speaker 1: you have to get to this contractually sends my segment, 810 00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:01,640 Speaker 1: your segment of the show, when when she's the executive producer, 811 00:45:01,719 --> 00:45:04,080 Speaker 1: she has her own second built them in.

So man Robert Brazil. 824 00:45:46,480 --> 00:45:48,600 Speaker 1: When I was a kid, he was one of the 825 00:45:48,680 --> 00:45:52,719 Speaker 1: first Oilers. I knew who he was. Thank you. Yeah, 826 00:45:52,800 --> 00:45:58,359 Speaker 1: there's his bum Phillips belt buckle. But we I mean 827 00:45:58,440 --> 00:46:01,359 Speaker 1: I knew who he was. He was one of, if 828 00:46:01,520 --> 00:46:05,080 Speaker 1: not the first three to four linebacker who got a 829 00:46:05,160 --> 00:46:08,360 Speaker 1: chance to bring it. He was not because not a 830 00:46:08,400 --> 00:46:10,479 Speaker 1: lot of people ran the three four in those days. 831 00:46:10,560 --> 00:46:17,120 Speaker 1: That was just getting started. And then the Oilers drafted 832 00:46:17,200 --> 00:46:21,600 Speaker 1: him sixth overall in nineteen seventy five, and he comes 833 00:46:21,680 --> 00:46:25,239 Speaker 1: in and changes the game. But the Steelers did it, 834 00:46:25,680 --> 00:46:28,800 Speaker 1: and the Oilers did it. They used outside linebackers in 835 00:46:29,600 --> 00:46:31,920 Speaker 1: unusual ways. It was later for the Steelers. They were 836 00:46:31,960 --> 00:46:36,200 Speaker 1: initially a four three team. But Doctor Doom who is 837 00:46:36,280 --> 00:46:37,840 Speaker 1: going to be here, and you're going to get to 838 00:46:37,880 --> 00:46:40,560 Speaker 1: do something really special with him.

She's helped keep this alive by having the reunions, 966 00:53:52,200 --> 00:53:55,360 Speaker 1: by showing such great interest in him. And I know 967 00:53:55,480 --> 00:53:57,759 Speaker 1: it means while you still have a group of people 968 00:53:57,840 --> 00:54:00,520 Speaker 1: that say, why you're paying attention to these orders, there's 969 00:54:00,560 --> 00:54:03,320 Speaker 1: a stronger group that says, I think this is great 970 00:54:03,680 --> 00:54:06,359 Speaker 1: because this guy's not forgotten.

We love for pro football because of great players. 972 00:54:11,040 --> 00:54:14,799 Speaker 1: And I'll just never forget the feeling that I had 973 00:54:15,880 --> 00:54:20,720 Speaker 1: because pro football growing up here seemed a galaxy away, 974 00:54:21,840 --> 00:54:24,600 Speaker 1: and so when we got a pro football team here, 975 00:54:25,200 --> 00:54:27,960 Speaker 1: I was just so proud. I'll never I was driving 976 00:54:28,120 --> 00:54:31,520 Speaker 1: when the thing was finally happening. I was driving through 977 00:54:31,560 --> 00:54:34,040 Speaker 1: the mountains, and I was trying to listen to Bill 978 00:54:34,160 --> 00:54:37,120 Speaker 1: King and Bob Bell on WLAC because I was up. 979 00:54:37,320 --> 00:54:41,920 Speaker 1: I was up in the East Tennessee Mountains around Virginia actually, 980 00:54:42,239 --> 00:54:44,960 Speaker 1: and so I'm fighting to hear them when when it's 981 00:54:45,000 --> 00:54:47,680 Speaker 1: all come down and everything's been signed, and it's gonna happen, 982 00:54:48,320 --> 00:54:51,200 Speaker 1: and you talk about I got emotional. That's when I 983 00:54:51,360 --> 00:54:55,160 Speaker 1: got emotional because I was like, my goodness, my hometown 984 00:54:56,000 --> 00:54:58,800 Speaker 1: is going to be in NFL city and all of 985 00:54:58,880 --> 00:55:01,360 Speaker 1: the sudden, all of the things that go with the 986 00:55:01,520 --> 00:55:04,040 Speaker 1: NFL are part of your life. The Super Bowls part 987 00:55:04,080 --> 00:55:06,800 Speaker 1: of your life. Vince Lombardi's part of your life. The 988 00:55:06,960 --> 00:55:09,439 Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys and the Pittsburgh Steelers. I mean, we play 989 00:55:09,560 --> 00:55:11,680 Speaker 1: these guys, you know, I mean, it's all and then 990 00:55:11,719 --> 00:55:14,560 Speaker 1: you have guys like Robert Brazil, who I watched when 991 00:55:14,600 --> 00:55:19,239 Speaker 1: I was a kid, doctor Doom and you respect that, 992 00:55:19,680 --> 00:55:22,960 Speaker 1: you know, that's part, and I our fans respect that. 993 00:55:23,200 --> 00:55:27,320 Speaker 1: I It's been great to see the development of true 994 00:55:27,560 --> 00:55:31,920 Speaker 1: NFL fans in this market. Yeah, I mean, because before 995 00:55:32,000 --> 00:55:35,480 Speaker 1: the Titans came to town, you had Steelers fans and 996 00:55:36,000 --> 00:55:40,200 Speaker 1: Cowboys fans and Redskins fans and and you know now 997 00:55:40,760 --> 00:55:43,759 Speaker 1: and still people who have had those teams are still 998 00:55:43,920 --> 00:55:46,840 Speaker 1: probably some of them never let go of those teams, 999 00:55:46,960 --> 00:55:49,000 Speaker 1: if even though they grew up in Nashville. But now 1000 00:55:49,080 --> 00:55:52,360 Speaker 1: there's such a great fan base here that are Titans fans, 1001 00:55:52,400 --> 00:55:55,000 Speaker 1: and this is gonna go on. You know forever when 1002 00:55:55,280 --> 00:55:57,680 Speaker 1: I think about all the people who gather at sports 1003 00:55:57,760 --> 00:56:01,279 Speaker 1: bars and different things, and of your fantasy leagues and 1004 00:56:01,400 --> 00:56:04,279 Speaker 1: everything that goes with it. Hopefully you're a Titans fan, 1005 00:56:04,719 --> 00:56:07,120 Speaker 1: but if you're not, if you're just an NFL fan, 1006 00:56:07,360 --> 00:56:10,920 Speaker 1: the amount of NFL information, the fact that people follow it. 1007 00:56:11,280 --> 00:56:14,760 Speaker 1: You go somewhere and everybody knows exactly what you're talking about. 1008 00:56:14,840 --> 00:56:18,120 Speaker 1: Did you see the game they're talking about the Titans game, 1009 00:56:18,239 --> 00:56:20,520 Speaker 1: or or do you follow it on red Zone or 1010 00:56:20,560 --> 00:56:23,200 Speaker 1: do you know however you do it, it's you know, 1011 00:56:23,200 --> 00:56:25,560 Speaker 1: it's the greatest sports league in the world for a reason.
