We do like to say reese Is because 7 00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:34,720 Speaker 1: they hand out a lot of candy here. Yes, they do, 8 00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:37,760 Speaker 1: and I'm very for that. Well, I mean, since Reeses 9 00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:41,680 Speaker 1: has become the sponsor, this thing has gotten exponentially better. 10 00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:43,800 Speaker 1: It has, yeah, it really has. But the thing is, 11 00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:47,240 Speaker 1: if you're gonna make us say a sponsored name, which 12 00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:51,080 Speaker 1: they do, which I understand, give us candy and they do, 13 00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:54,640 Speaker 1: and they do a lot, a lot of candy. One 14 00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:57,240 Speaker 1: year I came back with one of those one pound 15 00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:01,560 Speaker 1: Reese's Peanut buttercups. Yeah, have you ever seen? It's crazy? 16 00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:04,440 Speaker 1: As big as a car tire. Ate the whole thing. 17 00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:09,440 Speaker 1: All right, So as we begin the Thursday OTP, we 18 00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:11,959 Speaker 1: could call this or we could title this not just 19 00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:15,920 Speaker 1: the OTP on the Road, This could be the Mobile 20 00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:20,720 Speaker 1: mea culp up because I'm following with a coach machism, 21 00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:24,560 Speaker 1: he says, keep your powder dry. That is a famous 22 00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:28,160 Speaker 1: coach machism. And coach mac what does that really mean? 23 00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:31,679 Speaker 1: Just don't be ready, fire aim, ready, fire aim, don't 24 00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,560 Speaker 1: get ahead of don't hello yourself, and don't just you know, 25 00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:38,360 Speaker 1: make make a statement and make a decision when it's 26 00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:40,479 Speaker 1: time to do it and when it's important. It comes 27 00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:42,280 Speaker 1: from the old musket days when you had to have 28 00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:45,119 Speaker 1: powder in your musket. If you didn't keep it dry, well, 29 00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:48,400 Speaker 1: then when the enemy started coming and your powder was wet, 30 00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:52,400 Speaker 1: you're done. Okay, Well that's me because when we were 31 00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:56,680 Speaker 1: sitting here two days ago, we opened the OTP and 32 00:01:56,760 --> 00:02:00,960 Speaker 1: I said, okay, the Titans have pick eleven, they have 33 00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:05,280 Speaker 1: picked forty two, they have picked seventy three. They do 34 00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:08,600 Speaker 1: not have a four in the twenty twenty three NFL 35 00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:11,400 Speaker 1: draft because of the Julio Jones trade. And then the 36 00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:14,000 Speaker 1: Titans have a five, a six, and a seven, And 37 00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:18,080 Speaker 1: we don't know the exact numbers yet because the compensatory 38 00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:20,440 Speaker 1: picks have not come out, and then all of the 39 00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:24,480 Speaker 1: numbers will be set. Also, we mentioned that the Titans 40 00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:28,120 Speaker 1: don't figure to have a compensatory pick based on the 41 00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:33,680 Speaker 1: mathematical formula, and that's where we are right now. So 42 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:37,560 Speaker 1: I said to Rhett and coach mac as we opened 43 00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:42,480 Speaker 1: pick number eleven is probably not at the Reese's Senior Bowl, 44 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:46,520 Speaker 1: and you both said we probably not. Probably not. Okay, 45 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:50,960 Speaker 1: pretty pretty firmly agreed with that. And then I said, 46 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,680 Speaker 1: pick forty two is probably not here, and both of 47 00:02:55,720 --> 00:03:03,480 Speaker 1: you said, might be. I was wrong, Miacopa, Miacopa, because 48 00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:07,239 Speaker 1: I think pick forty two, after watching two days of practice, 49 00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:11,360 Speaker 1: I think pick forty two may be here for the Titans. 50 00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:13,920 Speaker 1: And a lot of that is based on the fact 51 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:17,160 Speaker 1: that you have needs. We don't know what's going to 52 00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:20,720 Speaker 1: happen with Ran Carthon and Mike Vrabel and the current roster, 53 00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:24,480 Speaker 1: which may create more needs. We don't know what's going 54 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:28,320 Speaker 1: to happen in free agency, which starts officially March the fifteenth, 55 00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 1: which may lessen some needs. So you look at and 56 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:34,040 Speaker 1: this is what I was doing, and this is where 57 00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:36,920 Speaker 1: I didn't keep my powder drying. I looked at I 58 00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:40,440 Speaker 1: was doing my studying of the roster. Sure I was 59 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:45,600 Speaker 1: reading about well, it's debatable. I was reading about the 60 00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:49,840 Speaker 1: strengths of the Senior Bowl class. I was listening to 61 00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:54,160 Speaker 1: Jim Naggy and I thought, at pick forty two, what's 62 00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:59,240 Speaker 1: at the Senior Bowl in terms of the strengths doesn't 63 00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:03,240 Speaker 1: match what the Titans may need in terms of selecting 64 00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:06,720 Speaker 1: that early in the second round. I think I'm wrong. 65 00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:09,200 Speaker 1: I think I think I was wrong. I think we 66 00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:14,960 Speaker 1: have seen guys that they could logically pick here that 67 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,960 Speaker 1: would fit needs that we know right now. You know 68 00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:20,039 Speaker 1: that we that we know right now. And again this 69 00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:24,200 Speaker 1: is what Groundhog Days February second A lot can change. 70 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:28,080 Speaker 1: So let's talk about some of the guys that I 71 00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:32,040 Speaker 1: think I'm wrong about and see if you agree. Darius Rush, 72 00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:37,320 Speaker 1: cornerback South Carolina, absolutely, yes, might be the best corner 73 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:41,640 Speaker 1: here this week here here he might be. I've got 74 00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:43,640 Speaker 1: a couple of corners that that that I've got on 75 00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:46,400 Speaker 1: my list now that that that I liked after watching 76 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:51,479 Speaker 1: Okay two practices, Ky you Blue Kelly from Stanford. I 77 00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:54,520 Speaker 1: like that player. I like Riley Moss Milea State just 78 00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:57,640 Speaker 1: from what he's done now I'm talking about just like him, 79 00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:00,320 Speaker 1: I say, I want to make a franchise player right well, 80 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:03,880 Speaker 1: and that's what I'm saying too. And in this discussion yeah. 81 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:05,960 Speaker 1: But but I mean there are a lot of hypothetics 82 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,520 Speaker 1: bring that up to say this. I think Rush is 83 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:12,080 Speaker 1: better than both of these guys. Well, and you Rush 84 00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 1: could go at forty two. Sure, he might go higher. Well, 85 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:21,480 Speaker 1: that's right, but I'm saying that's today but hog Day. Yeah, 86 00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:24,839 Speaker 1: but you look at Okay, could the Titans take a 87 00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:29,479 Speaker 1: corner at forty two? Yes, sure, because you need corners 88 00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:33,240 Speaker 1: every single year. And you know Christian Fulton is going 89 00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:37,240 Speaker 1: into year four, Caleb Farley is coming off another injury. 90 00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:40,120 Speaker 1: That would be a pick that if they made it 91 00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:43,679 Speaker 1: at forty two, that would make a ton of sense. 92 00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:49,360 Speaker 1: Here's another one, Luke Musgrave, tight end Oregon State. Yes, yes, 93 00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:51,960 Speaker 1: and a lot of that, a lot of that now. 94 00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:55,200 Speaker 1: And I'm just saying this sitting here on Groundhog Day too. 95 00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 1: If he runs really well at the Combine after his injury, 96 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:03,440 Speaker 1: after his second collegiate game this season, if he runs 97 00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:06,800 Speaker 1: really well, might go higher than that. Oh, I think 98 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,839 Speaker 1: that's entirely possible. I'm saying that may be a value 99 00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:13,640 Speaker 1: pick at forty You. I agree with you right now, Mike. 100 00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:16,520 Speaker 1: You and I were sitting there yesterday looking at those 101 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:20,920 Speaker 1: Zebra analytics that they put on the scoreboard up there, 102 00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:23,240 Speaker 1: and they had n't plocked it over eighteen miles an 103 00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:28,680 Speaker 1: hour at six to five, over two hundred and fifty pounds. Well, 104 00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:30,960 Speaker 1: you interviewed him down here, and you brought me over 105 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,560 Speaker 1: there just to introduce me to him, you know, because 106 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:36,400 Speaker 1: and I told him this. I told I told Luke this. 107 00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:39,120 Speaker 1: You know, I interviewed his uncle for a coordinators job, 108 00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:40,880 Speaker 1: but I was a head coach of Cardinals. Didn't hire him. 109 00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:44,719 Speaker 1: Luke said, that's okay, he forgave you. He did because 110 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:47,880 Speaker 1: it had no effect on him. At he's about to 111 00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:50,800 Speaker 1: be rich. He doesn't care. It doesn't It doesn't even 112 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:54,400 Speaker 1: move my needle, you know, he said, no. But just 113 00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:57,479 Speaker 1: first of all, it seems like a really bright person. Yeah. 114 00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:00,400 Speaker 1: And then physically when you stand next to him, you 115 00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:04,279 Speaker 1: go oh okay, oh yeah. And then watching him in practice, yes, 116 00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:08,680 Speaker 1: catch like a wide receiver. Yes at that size. Yeah, 117 00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:10,880 Speaker 1: I don't know if he's there at forty two. But 118 00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:16,760 Speaker 1: could the Titans use another athletic tight end? The answers, yes, yeah, sure. 119 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:18,760 Speaker 1: All day long, I was gonna get through the whole thing. 120 00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:22,280 Speaker 1: But thank you. You're correct. Um, I mean, this is 121 00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:25,360 Speaker 1: a guy you could put with Chicka Conquo. He can, 122 00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:28,800 Speaker 1: he blocks, he can play every down. He's a former quarterback, 123 00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:32,640 Speaker 1: not surprising from his dad and his uncle's background. So 124 00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:35,720 Speaker 1: he's a really smart guy. Um, I don't know that 125 00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:38,440 Speaker 1: he's there at forty two, but could you see that 126 00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:42,400 Speaker 1: fitting a need on Groundhog Day when we're doing the 127 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:47,120 Speaker 1: OTP from mobile? Yeah, I think so, you're correct. I mean, 128 00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:50,200 Speaker 1: he seems to be a complete package in terms of 129 00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:54,440 Speaker 1: the things you're looking for. I mean you you interviewed him, 130 00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:57,560 Speaker 1: so you hear the intelligence, you hear the personality in 131 00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:00,280 Speaker 1: a small sample size, and then we saw him out 132 00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:04,920 Speaker 1: there this week and he definitely stood out. And this is, 133 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:08,480 Speaker 1: you know, one of several names. Now there's a lot 134 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:10,640 Speaker 1: of guys who aren't he here this week? This is 135 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:12,880 Speaker 1: pretty good tight end class from what I can get. 136 00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:14,960 Speaker 1: It's a tight end draft. It's a strong tight end. 137 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:17,960 Speaker 1: It's a strong tight end class altogether, which is why 138 00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:20,679 Speaker 1: he might get to you. That's correct, that's one hundred 139 00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:23,360 Speaker 1: that's another hundred percent correct. And as we are here 140 00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:25,840 Speaker 1: on Groundhog Day, you know doing things is and butts, 141 00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:28,160 Speaker 1: candy and nuts. If you pair him with Chiga Conchole, 142 00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:31,200 Speaker 1: that's two separate different types of guys. Oh yeah, two 143 00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:34,800 Speaker 1: completely different types of guys, which means the versatility of 144 00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:37,720 Speaker 1: a twelve personnel package with those two types of abilities 145 00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:40,560 Speaker 1: is pretty fun to think about. Well, And the other 146 00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:42,559 Speaker 1: part that you think about, too, is if you think 147 00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:47,120 Speaker 1: about need and you think about value, if that player 148 00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:49,480 Speaker 1: continues to pan out, if his medicals are good, he 149 00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:53,520 Speaker 1: runs well, and everything continues to pan out, he may 150 00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:55,600 Speaker 1: be a guy that gets to you, and there may 151 00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:58,800 Speaker 1: be other Darius Rush for the corner from South Carolina 152 00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:00,160 Speaker 1: may be a guy who gets to you, and there 153 00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:02,960 Speaker 1: probably several others that you just say, I can't, we 154 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:06,319 Speaker 1: can't pass this guy up. He's too good a football 155 00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:10,280 Speaker 1: player for what we want to do. And in today's NFL, 156 00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:13,440 Speaker 1: I mean, you look at the final four weekend, the 157 00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:18,160 Speaker 1: conference championships. Major league tight ends were a major part 158 00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:20,800 Speaker 1: of what everybody was doing, the major part of the 159 00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:23,920 Speaker 1: NFL now. But I mean, but the best teams that 160 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:27,240 Speaker 1: were still there, I mean Kansas City the one right 161 00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:29,640 Speaker 1: they have one right, I mean that was the not 162 00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:33,920 Speaker 1: only do they have quarterbacks, but you know they you 163 00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:36,439 Speaker 1: look at what they don't have and you say, oh, 164 00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:38,240 Speaker 1: well that's interesting, But you look at what they do have. 165 00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:44,439 Speaker 1: I mean, George Kittle's there. You know, Dallas Goddard is there, obviously, 166 00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:48,880 Speaker 1: you know Kelsey's there. I mean it's and Luke Musgrave 167 00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:51,640 Speaker 1: was a guy coming into this week who had missed 168 00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:54,840 Speaker 1: so many games his last year in college that he 169 00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:57,440 Speaker 1: was far enough along rehab and everything he was ready 170 00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:00,440 Speaker 1: to hit a gear to go in this weekend. Everything 171 00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:04,720 Speaker 1: I read coming into this deal here in Mobile and 172 00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:07,080 Speaker 1: he so far, I think, has done a lot of 173 00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:09,040 Speaker 1: what he wanted to do well. I mean, some people 174 00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:12,160 Speaker 1: would say he was crazy. He hurts a knee after 175 00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:15,880 Speaker 1: week two. He's caught eleven passes for one hundred and 176 00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:19,480 Speaker 1: sixty nine yards and two touchdowns in the first two 177 00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:22,120 Speaker 1: games of the year for Oregon State, and then he 178 00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:25,199 Speaker 1: decides to come play in the Senior Bowl. Well, that's 179 00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:27,559 Speaker 1: because he loves the game well, and it's also because 180 00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:30,160 Speaker 1: he got some good advice, right, he got some good 181 00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:33,600 Speaker 1: advice because he needed to be seen and he needed 182 00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:36,880 Speaker 1: he didn't need to wait until the combine to be seen. Now, 183 00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:39,199 Speaker 1: how much does he play in the game, how much 184 00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:42,000 Speaker 1: all of that stuff. I've coached this thing, and I 185 00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:43,760 Speaker 1: know there's a lot more that goes into it, but 186 00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:47,920 Speaker 1: just on the surface that idea too. I need to 187 00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:50,959 Speaker 1: show up because I haven't been seen for a while. 188 00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:56,400 Speaker 1: It was important. Could an edge rusher that you have 189 00:10:56,559 --> 00:11:00,719 Speaker 1: seen here in practice be a guy that could be 190 00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:03,720 Speaker 1: somebody you couldn't pass up at forty two and listen, 191 00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:08,520 Speaker 1: that's another position where the Titans are going to get 192 00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:13,040 Speaker 1: Landry back, and that's a big deal. But at the 193 00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:16,200 Speaker 1: same time they need depth. That's an important part of 194 00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:19,600 Speaker 1: what they do. Is there somebody here that might fit 195 00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:23,800 Speaker 1: that up? K J. Henry from Clemson, Yeah, okay. Will 196 00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:26,439 Speaker 1: McDonald a four from Iowa State who just continues to 197 00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:29,960 Speaker 1: talk about the zebra. I mean's he's he's on that thing, 198 00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:32,920 Speaker 1: you know, pretty pretty high up there. And then Derek 199 00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:36,240 Speaker 1: Hall from Arburn just walking out of the hall right 200 00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:38,160 Speaker 1: now that we're in. We'll bring him over. Let's put 201 00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:40,200 Speaker 1: him on the OTP. Doesn't look like that's gonna happen. 202 00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:42,440 Speaker 1: He's moving quickly. I've got him at twenty miles per 203 00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:45,400 Speaker 1: hour to get away from us. I mean him must stop. 204 00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:48,960 Speaker 1: Mike's Mike's stats and analytic I say A Fosky from 205 00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:54,520 Speaker 1: Notre Dame. Absolutely, I've seen a couple here maybe two three, 206 00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:58,120 Speaker 1: four five that you're saying, Okay, that's you know, maybe 207 00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:02,240 Speaker 1: Keyon White from Georgia Tech. Now, key On White's interesting. 208 00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:06,079 Speaker 1: He's an interesting guy because he if you I mean 209 00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:09,040 Speaker 1: to me, you know, they've worked him inside and outside 210 00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:11,440 Speaker 1: here right when you look at that, they looked they've 211 00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:15,880 Speaker 1: worked him in because that guy. Now, and you talk 212 00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:18,400 Speaker 1: about wanting somebody to be able to I don't mean 213 00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:20,280 Speaker 1: to steal your thunder here, Ritt, and you go ahead, 214 00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:21,920 Speaker 1: but you're right if you want to talk about him, 215 00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:24,440 Speaker 1: you're one hundred percent right about him. But the fact 216 00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:26,600 Speaker 1: that they worked him inside and outside here, because that's 217 00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:29,000 Speaker 1: what I've got written down right here, that tells you something. Well, 218 00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:31,160 Speaker 1: let's see what did he come in at. Let's tell 219 00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:33,160 Speaker 1: the story. Red. I'm gonna get you to tell his 220 00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:35,640 Speaker 1: story overall. But the first thing I want to do 221 00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:39,839 Speaker 1: is I want to give you he's nearly six five, 222 00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:43,600 Speaker 1: two hundred and eighty pounds listed as a defensive lineman 223 00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:46,680 Speaker 1: from Georgia Tech. Give me the thirty second story on 224 00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:49,280 Speaker 1: key On White. So he started out, first of all, 225 00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:53,439 Speaker 1: he's offensive lineman for a bit in high school, came 226 00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:58,599 Speaker 1: to old Dominion as a tight end, moved to defense, 227 00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:02,840 Speaker 1: played three years at Old Dominion, then transferred to Georgia Tech, 228 00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:05,120 Speaker 1: where in twenty twenty two he had seven and a 229 00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:08,920 Speaker 1: half quarterback sacks. I forget how many tackles tackles for loss. 230 00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:11,480 Speaker 1: I mean he was a machine in this So he 231 00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:13,839 Speaker 1: had a different path like a lot of guys coming, 232 00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:17,200 Speaker 1: you know, into the NFL draft every spring. Seems like 233 00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:22,000 Speaker 1: a bright young man, interesting story and a mammoth human being. 234 00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:26,520 Speaker 1: He looks like when I seem because he's that big 235 00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:29,520 Speaker 1: in between guy who can really move. He looks like 236 00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:33,720 Speaker 1: a Pittsburgh Steeler. Well, because he could play he could 237 00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:37,000 Speaker 1: play a stand up possibly, yes, he could play a 238 00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:42,680 Speaker 1: five tech. And with his quickness, right, I mean, is 239 00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:46,439 Speaker 1: you might get off as you would say, looks pretty 240 00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:49,319 Speaker 1: good on a sub package that that might be your 241 00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:52,040 Speaker 1: sub interior rusher to match up on a guard. You're 242 00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:55,840 Speaker 1: always interested in guys in today's NFL who have sort 243 00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:59,480 Speaker 1: of moved up positions. He was athletic enough to be 244 00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:01,280 Speaker 1: a tight end. It was tight end for a couple 245 00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:05,240 Speaker 1: of years and then moves to defense. They ask him 246 00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:07,520 Speaker 1: to move to defense, He's like, great, I'll move to defense, 247 00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:11,680 Speaker 1: and then he goes to Georgia Tech and everything comes 248 00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:14,520 Speaker 1: together in year five for him, and I mean his 249 00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:20,080 Speaker 1: upside continues to just sort of be there. I don't 250 00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:23,360 Speaker 1: want to say he's like Trey Von Walker because that's 251 00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:25,560 Speaker 1: not fair. Trayvon Walker is the number one picking the draft. 252 00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:30,240 Speaker 1: But the comparison is a big guy who can continue 253 00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:34,800 Speaker 1: to get better. And that's what this guy is intriguing. 254 00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:37,800 Speaker 1: He could you you might not be able to pass 255 00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:40,560 Speaker 1: him up at that spot. Well, the National Football League 256 00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:43,280 Speaker 1: is about big people that can move. Yeah, and that's 257 00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:46,080 Speaker 1: what he's morphing into. Offensive lineman that could go at 258 00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:49,160 Speaker 1: forty two. Everybody listening to the OTP, all of the 259 00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:54,600 Speaker 1: ot people know that an offensive lineman, multiple offensive lineman 260 00:14:54,880 --> 00:15:01,440 Speaker 1: needs for the Titans. Coach mac here's a guy Osiris, Yeah, cool, 261 00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:06,000 Speaker 1: from Florida offensive guard. Let me tell you somebody else 262 00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:09,200 Speaker 1: that I've I've watched. And they also cross train. When 263 00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:12,360 Speaker 1: they start cross training people down here, you know that's 264 00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:16,200 Speaker 1: coming from scouts. That's what they want to see. Ami 265 00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:20,920 Speaker 1: a lechi or from Alabama. They started cross training him too, Okay, 266 00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:24,240 Speaker 1: so center, yes, and there's a there's a there's a 267 00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:30,320 Speaker 1: big body right there. Uh those two for me, I 268 00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:32,280 Speaker 1: tell you a guy I liked just watching him. I 269 00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:34,480 Speaker 1: don't know if the forty two is there for him, 270 00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:39,480 Speaker 1: but the offensive tackle from BYU Blake Freeland m anyway, 271 00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:42,320 Speaker 1: there's this is a good offensive line group down here. 272 00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:44,480 Speaker 1: I'm not talking American or national team. It's just a 273 00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:47,640 Speaker 1: good offensive line group. Don't know about forty two. But 274 00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:50,840 Speaker 1: John Michael Schmidtz from Minnesota. That's it's gonna be mine too, 275 00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:54,720 Speaker 1: And that that complicates this question. Listen, I'm gonna say 276 00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:57,440 Speaker 1: it again me a coupa, I was wrong. I think 277 00:15:57,520 --> 00:16:00,320 Speaker 1: forty two could be here. I'm not sure it's one 278 00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:04,280 Speaker 1: of the offensive linemen because it does fit into my 279 00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:06,760 Speaker 1: original point that I think you're gonna be able to 280 00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:12,560 Speaker 1: get them in three, five, six and seven. For what 281 00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:15,280 Speaker 1: you need. You might have to go hire to get 282 00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:17,920 Speaker 1: a corner, hire to get a tight end if you 283 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:20,680 Speaker 1: really want to get one of the one of the 284 00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:26,160 Speaker 1: most outstanding in the list. But John Michael Smith's from Minnesota. 285 00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:31,360 Speaker 1: The center. He is Ben Jones. He's redheaded, he has freckles, 286 00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:34,320 Speaker 1: he's played six years, he has his hands like a bear. 287 00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:37,160 Speaker 1: He but I was standing there talking with him and 288 00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:39,240 Speaker 1: obviously he's from up North, so he doesn't sound like 289 00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:42,560 Speaker 1: Ben Jones, but I mean it's the same sort of 290 00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:46,520 Speaker 1: package as a human being as a football player. The size, 291 00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:49,000 Speaker 1: you know, he's six three three oh five and that's 292 00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:52,520 Speaker 1: basically what Ben is. He loves playing center because he 293 00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:56,680 Speaker 1: loves running the game like Ben Jones does. I mean, 294 00:16:56,960 --> 00:17:00,680 Speaker 1: he's he's gonna be a tremendous play you're in the NFL. 295 00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:04,280 Speaker 1: I think he's a guy you see, I'm not a scout, 296 00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:06,800 Speaker 1: but he's the type of guy that you see coaching. 297 00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:10,680 Speaker 1: You say he plays right away? Yeah, well, and look, 298 00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:14,160 Speaker 1: centers a few draft centers, they play a long time, 299 00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:16,680 Speaker 1: they play a lot. And here's the here's the other 300 00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:20,040 Speaker 1: thing that about him. And I know Rhet's dug on him. 301 00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:23,320 Speaker 1: He got he got some wrestling background to him, which 302 00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:25,760 Speaker 1: is and he was quick to tell me because I 303 00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:27,520 Speaker 1: went back and listened to the interview I did with 304 00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:30,000 Speaker 1: him yesterday, and I know you interviewed him as well. Yes, 305 00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:33,639 Speaker 1: you're right about are you saying yours was better? No, 306 00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:36,280 Speaker 1: not at all. Yours was probably better. It usually is. 307 00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:39,240 Speaker 1: I mean, everybody's down on me on this show today. No, okay, No, 308 00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:41,680 Speaker 1: you're the one that's crying me a caupa. I didn't 309 00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:45,159 Speaker 1: say anything about me a kupa. But I listened to 310 00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:47,240 Speaker 1: his cadence. I know, even though the hopa means I 311 00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:48,959 Speaker 1: was an ultra boy in the Catholic church for all 312 00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:51,240 Speaker 1: my life. Yeah, you know, still him and I know 313 00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:54,000 Speaker 1: what that means. So the mobile Mia coppa mobile Mia. 314 00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:57,679 Speaker 1: But I listened to his speech pattern even though the 315 00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:01,600 Speaker 1: dialects different. He talks like Benji know the whole at 316 00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:03,520 Speaker 1: that point, and I'm like, you know what he does 317 00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:09,960 Speaker 1: with his answers, which are answers but not really. I mean, 318 00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:14,240 Speaker 1: the whole thing is it's not about him. He has 319 00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:16,719 Speaker 1: no interest in it, and he knows down here it 320 00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:20,280 Speaker 1: has to be because he's a prospect. But he'd rather 321 00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:23,200 Speaker 1: talk about his quarterback, the guards next to him, everybody 322 00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:26,000 Speaker 1: playing with him, his coaches, his teammates, his family. And 323 00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:29,400 Speaker 1: it's the same way Ben is. You know what's interesting 324 00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:31,360 Speaker 1: is that both of you say that. Of course, both 325 00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:34,000 Speaker 1: of you guys, you know, know the players on the 326 00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:39,560 Speaker 1: Titans roster better than anybody because you you spend time interviewing, 327 00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:43,360 Speaker 1: you spend but to know just to pick that up 328 00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:46,560 Speaker 1: because that is Ben Jones. Yeah, and he is a 329 00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:50,640 Speaker 1: selfless guy. And to pick that up, you know, through 330 00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:53,760 Speaker 1: that and most of your sinners always in the league 331 00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:58,040 Speaker 1: are well. You know, if you need a comment about 332 00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:02,840 Speaker 1: a teammate for a story, ben Jones, Yeah, Ben Jones 333 00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:05,880 Speaker 1: will talk about Jeffrey Simmons, he'll talk about Ryan Tannehill, 334 00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:08,439 Speaker 1: he'll talk about Derrick Henry, he'll talk about Kevin Byard. 335 00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:13,040 Speaker 1: But as Ben Jones about Ben Jones, you get nothing, 336 00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:16,760 Speaker 1: zero zero, never will Yeah, and that's the way this 337 00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:21,360 Speaker 1: guy comes across. I really yeah. Yeah, John Michael Schmidt's 338 00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:25,640 Speaker 1: from Minnesota to your center. You're right, thirty wrestling background, 339 00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:27,680 Speaker 1: which a lot of those guys in that program are 340 00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:30,679 Speaker 1: thirty six career starts at center. And I asked him, 341 00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:33,199 Speaker 1: I said, you know, you must feel good that you 342 00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:36,240 Speaker 1: kind of know where you're gonna be, whereas a lot 343 00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:39,040 Speaker 1: of these linemen, are you gonna be tasked with moving 344 00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:41,199 Speaker 1: in different spots? And he was quick to tell him. 345 00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:43,480 Speaker 1: He goes, no, listen, I'm not getting complacents. I said, no, 346 00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:45,960 Speaker 1: I'm not saying you're getting complacent at all. He said, 347 00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:48,880 Speaker 1: but I wouldn't mind working at guard either. But I said, 348 00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:51,520 Speaker 1: but I said, you're a center. That's what you do. 349 00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:53,639 Speaker 1: You know, Reet, that's a good point you make, because 350 00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:56,879 Speaker 1: for all these offensive linemen who are being shifted around, 351 00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:00,520 Speaker 1: and echi or from Alabama who's six two three oh 352 00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:03,960 Speaker 1: seven is being asked to work as to work at center. 353 00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:08,320 Speaker 1: Nick Saban asked that he'd be worked at center. His 354 00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:11,479 Speaker 1: college coach said, hey, if you want to see what 355 00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:14,919 Speaker 1: he can really do, work him at center and you 356 00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:17,200 Speaker 1: can see him. I mean, he's just one of those 357 00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:20,480 Speaker 1: typical Alabama alignment. I was gonna ask you rhets. Yesterday 358 00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:27,880 Speaker 1: was interview day. Players that impressed you that you met. Okay, 359 00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:31,000 Speaker 1: first of all, one of the best personalities in the 360 00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:33,879 Speaker 1: room out of the American and the national team is 361 00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:38,119 Speaker 1: McClinton Curtis from Chattanooga. He is just he told me. 362 00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:40,639 Speaker 1: He said, I'm a people guy. He said, I love people. 363 00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:43,760 Speaker 1: I love talking to people. And it was just frank 364 00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:47,840 Speaker 1: about the whole process and how much he's enjoying everything. 365 00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:51,680 Speaker 1: And you know, we talked about his teammate Cole Strange, 366 00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:53,280 Speaker 1: who ended up being a first round pick of the 367 00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:57,120 Speaker 1: New England Patriots last year, and how that is important 368 00:20:57,160 --> 00:20:59,639 Speaker 1: for him to have a sounding morning, a pipeline to 369 00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:03,320 Speaker 1: help guide him through this process, to avoid pitfalls and 370 00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:06,000 Speaker 1: to give him tips on you know what he needs 371 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:10,840 Speaker 1: to do going forward. Uh, just a magnetic personality and 372 00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:14,439 Speaker 1: a just a giant of a guy. He is a huge, 373 00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:17,960 Speaker 1: huge guy. Six six three twenty eight, six five three 374 00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:20,960 Speaker 1: twenty eight. A yea yeah, six six three twenty eight guard, 375 00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:24,240 Speaker 1: didn't he coach? I think? I think so maybe, And 376 00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:26,639 Speaker 1: we're talking about a down to the line guy because 377 00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:29,320 Speaker 1: you know what everybody's gonna want to make well, and 378 00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:31,840 Speaker 1: and it's rightfully so, because for Chatakoga to put out 379 00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:33,640 Speaker 1: two guys back to back like that in the offensive 380 00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:36,280 Speaker 1: line that are getting interested, you know, one of them 381 00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:39,480 Speaker 1: drafted in the first round. And then and then this guy, well, 382 00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:41,800 Speaker 1: the first first thing he mentioned when I talked about 383 00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:44,000 Speaker 1: cold strange, he said today was before him. He said Corey. 384 00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:47,639 Speaker 1: I mentioned Corey eleven right off the top. But he 385 00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:52,960 Speaker 1: also talked about his demeanor and to think, you know, 386 00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:56,920 Speaker 1: we all want nasty offensive lineman. He was a nose tackle. 387 00:21:57,280 --> 00:21:59,840 Speaker 1: At one point he said, I love playing on the 388 00:21:59,880 --> 00:22:02,480 Speaker 1: defensive line, so I know he's got that mean streak 389 00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:04,880 Speaker 1: in him. But he said, I got plenty of work 390 00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:08,080 Speaker 1: to do, but he said, I'm really enjoying the moment 391 00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:11,040 Speaker 1: and just taking one step at a time. It's a 392 00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:13,400 Speaker 1: guy that you if you do get him, you would, 393 00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:15,919 Speaker 1: you will, you want, you want to develop him because 394 00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:18,159 Speaker 1: he's not as far along as Cole Strange was. No, 395 00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:21,320 Speaker 1: and that's gonna be the you know, the so the story. 396 00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:25,320 Speaker 1: The media grabs all the different stories, and so it's like, oh, 397 00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:27,280 Speaker 1: Cole Strange was here and he was a first round 398 00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:29,400 Speaker 1: pick and he did a nice job for the Patriots. 399 00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:34,160 Speaker 1: So McLendon Curtis is the next col Strange, right, yeah, point, 400 00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:36,600 Speaker 1: and I get it. But that's not true. No, it's not. 401 00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:39,760 Speaker 1: He's probably a Day three probably, But it's also why 402 00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:41,879 Speaker 1: I bring him up because he could be here for 403 00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:44,800 Speaker 1: the Titans in day three. Well that's exactly right. And 404 00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:48,439 Speaker 1: he may be a good pick that ends up playing 405 00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:52,520 Speaker 1: ball for you because he's got these this skill set, 406 00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:56,160 Speaker 1: but he's not as refined as cold Strange was. I mean, 407 00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:58,240 Speaker 1: he's just not as far along. And that's okay, I'm 408 00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:01,560 Speaker 1: sure it's okay. I mean it's a but keep going 409 00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:03,720 Speaker 1: on the interviews because those that first of all, you 410 00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:05,960 Speaker 1: both y all impressed me. That's a lot of work. 411 00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:08,840 Speaker 1: You guys worked. I mean that that was work as 412 00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:10,840 Speaker 1: many of your words. That was a county fair man. 413 00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:13,240 Speaker 1: We were moving, you were moving in that thing and 414 00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:16,000 Speaker 1: got a lot of great content. But that's important to 415 00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:19,119 Speaker 1: be able to because you know these guys personalities. I 416 00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:24,159 Speaker 1: didn't you know. I talked to the frogs the but 417 00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:26,360 Speaker 1: you guys got to know these guys a little bit. 418 00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:29,200 Speaker 1: I tell you who else is that I liked. He's 419 00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:33,120 Speaker 1: very nice to talk to, but is an alpha mentality, 420 00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:36,600 Speaker 1: and that is Tajy spears that running back from Tulane. 421 00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:40,320 Speaker 1: He is going to make somebody a nice running back 422 00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:43,399 Speaker 1: in the National Football League. You have had a crush 423 00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:46,720 Speaker 1: on this guy since we got out of the car, 424 00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:51,240 Speaker 1: and I know that. Sitting at the Titans draft table, 425 00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:54,200 Speaker 1: I'm pounded my fist on the table. Well you are, 426 00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:58,560 Speaker 1: But when he's chosen, you're gonna be you will be 427 00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:01,840 Speaker 1: a fan of that team he's chosen because unless they're 428 00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:03,720 Speaker 1: th in the AFC South and then that well I 429 00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:06,680 Speaker 1: understand that. But we always picked faith. We always picked 430 00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:09,040 Speaker 1: guys that we kind of look and see. And this 431 00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:11,560 Speaker 1: guy's been standing out at practice, oh very much. So 432 00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:15,200 Speaker 1: five nine and a half two hundred four pounds, incredible speed. 433 00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:18,160 Speaker 1: I think everybody was kind of glad to see two 434 00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:22,000 Speaker 1: oh four. That was something because he had been listed 435 00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:24,720 Speaker 1: at one nine five coming in and so so he 436 00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:27,520 Speaker 1: I mean he made a move yesterday and took one 437 00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:31,080 Speaker 1: to the house. The Backs had good days yesterday. Kenny 438 00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:35,399 Speaker 1: Macintosh from Georgia came back from being injured. Eric Gray 439 00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:37,960 Speaker 1: from Oklahoma another good day for yeah. And he was 440 00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:42,399 Speaker 1: one of the guys that impressed me in interviews. Really 441 00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:45,600 Speaker 1: well thought out kid. He understands what he's going into 442 00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:48,080 Speaker 1: in this process, and you know, it was kind of 443 00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:52,080 Speaker 1: interesting and discussing his career with him. The DeMarco Murray factor, 444 00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:56,640 Speaker 1: because DeMarco Murray is his position coach at Oklahoma. That 445 00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:59,919 Speaker 1: was that was a big thing. DeMarco was well known, 446 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:03,080 Speaker 1: owned to be in every facet, back to be good 447 00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:06,639 Speaker 1: at everything. And that's what Eric knows he has to 448 00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:11,040 Speaker 1: learn because he's five nine and he's two ten, and 449 00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:13,560 Speaker 1: so he doesn't. I mean, in the woods are full 450 00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:16,639 Speaker 1: of those guys. Now, sure that's what's coming out of 451 00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:19,879 Speaker 1: college five to nine, two hundred to two ten. Sure 452 00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:23,640 Speaker 1: it is. The Derreck Henry's are not coming out at 453 00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:26,560 Speaker 1: this point. Rett and I sat and watched him repeatedly 454 00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:28,439 Speaker 1: go through and he took a lot of reps at 455 00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:31,600 Speaker 1: pass protection because that's something that he's going to have, 456 00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:34,640 Speaker 1: you know, But you could you could tell the number 457 00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:36,919 Speaker 1: of reps that he was taking that he wanted to 458 00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:40,000 Speaker 1: get in there and at least start working on that. 459 00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:42,240 Speaker 1: He's one of the guys that impressed me in interviews 460 00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:46,080 Speaker 1: keyon White. We mentioned earlier defensive lineman Georgia Tech, Luke 461 00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:51,560 Speaker 1: Musgrave tight end Oregon State on that list, Carl Brooks 462 00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:56,560 Speaker 1: defensive linemen. Yeah, and he talked about how his guys 463 00:25:56,640 --> 00:26:00,439 Speaker 1: Jeffrey Simmons so immediately became a favorite. Maybe because we 464 00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:04,160 Speaker 1: had the flame the Titans fireball on the Mike flags 465 00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:06,520 Speaker 1: as he was holding the microphone. Maybe he's just that smart. 466 00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:10,800 Speaker 1: If he is, he deserves credit anyway. The other one 467 00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:14,920 Speaker 1: that really I like a lot is Tyler Steen. Tyler 468 00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:20,600 Speaker 1: Steen is an offensive lineman originally from Louisiana, played at Vanderbilt, 469 00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:25,400 Speaker 1: played very well for Vanderbilt, transferred to Alabama, played left 470 00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:29,040 Speaker 1: tackle for Alabama. Yesterday he was working at left guard. 471 00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:32,919 Speaker 1: He wants to be a left tackle, but you know, 472 00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:41,040 Speaker 1: son of a marine, big nasty, no nonsense dude. Kind 473 00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:44,639 Speaker 1: of feels like that John Michael Smith's thing that he's 474 00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:46,600 Speaker 1: grown up enough. He's going to come in and help 475 00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:49,440 Speaker 1: you pretty quickly. Yeah. And if you wanted to play guard, 476 00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:51,880 Speaker 1: he'll play God, he'll play guard. Yes, and so all 477 00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:54,040 Speaker 1: of that, But all of that comes from those in 478 00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:57,080 Speaker 1: depth interviews that you guys do, because you can't get 479 00:26:57,119 --> 00:27:00,359 Speaker 1: that watching tape, right, You don't get that watching tape, 480 00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:02,720 Speaker 1: and you don't get that watching practice. Well, he blows 481 00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:05,159 Speaker 1: you a way, see, I mean, he blows you away 482 00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:08,280 Speaker 1: with the mindset. He's already a professional. And I and 483 00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:11,120 Speaker 1: I said to him, I said, if you grow up 484 00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:14,480 Speaker 1: with a dad who's a marine, then Nick Saban can't 485 00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:18,920 Speaker 1: show you anything. Goes now, love Coach Saban, but what 486 00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:22,760 Speaker 1: I saw at home and what I experienced you, I mean, 487 00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:26,280 Speaker 1: he's he's he's grown up enough that he's going to 488 00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:29,240 Speaker 1: handle pro ball just fine. Well see, and just what 489 00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:32,080 Speaker 1: y'all are all mentioning just for our listeners. That's why 490 00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:34,680 Speaker 1: the interviews are so important for the coaches and scouts 491 00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:37,000 Speaker 1: down here, because you tried to get to know the 492 00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:38,840 Speaker 1: person and you've got a whole another round of him. 493 00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:41,000 Speaker 1: And what you can do down here is you can 494 00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:46,119 Speaker 1: interview some guys so that you're limited finite numbers of 495 00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:48,080 Speaker 1: guys that you have at the combine that you have 496 00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:50,560 Speaker 1: to turn in early to get a schedule to interview. 497 00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:53,320 Speaker 1: Then you can tick off some I mean you can 498 00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:56,000 Speaker 1: you can click off some guys that you really wanted 499 00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:59,760 Speaker 1: to interview, and those things are really valuable. The point 500 00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:03,439 Speaker 1: he just made, I'm just immediately reminded of Ran Carthon's 501 00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:06,400 Speaker 1: introductory presser from a couple of weeks ago. And what's 502 00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:08,320 Speaker 1: the one thing he said in there? He said, I 503 00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:11,640 Speaker 1: have a pretty good baseline on this Titans roster. He said, 504 00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:13,879 Speaker 1: I've seen the film. He said, I don't know the 505 00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:17,600 Speaker 1: people don't know of the filmy. I need to get 506 00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:20,320 Speaker 1: to know the people on the film. And then the 507 00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:23,399 Speaker 1: other guy who who impressed me in this no surprise, 508 00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:27,280 Speaker 1: Hendon Hooker. Oh, we have an interview up. We have 509 00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:29,920 Speaker 1: the interview up that I did with Hendon Hooker right 510 00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:33,560 Speaker 1: now at Tennessee Titans dot com. And all of our 511 00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:37,360 Speaker 1: interviews are there and are going to be there. So 512 00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:39,680 Speaker 1: if you go to Tennessee Titans dot com, they've got 513 00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:45,000 Speaker 1: everything from mobile, including the OTPs Hendon Hooker one again yesterday. 514 00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:49,680 Speaker 1: I would completely, first of all, encourage everybody to listen 515 00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:52,720 Speaker 1: to all of those because I mean it's valuable information 516 00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:57,680 Speaker 1: if you care about the draft. Hendon Hooker probably did 517 00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:01,360 Speaker 1: more for himself than anybody down here. And that's with 518 00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:04,520 Speaker 1: a brace on his leg. Because and you know, Jim 519 00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:06,440 Speaker 1: Nagy sat here the first day, you know when when 520 00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:09,200 Speaker 1: the interview that we had with him and said, because 521 00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:14,360 Speaker 1: they normally don't let injured players come down here, but 522 00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:16,160 Speaker 1: because of what he sat here and told us that 523 00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:20,640 Speaker 1: is on that is on the OTP is that he's 524 00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:23,240 Speaker 1: a quarterback, but he's also a spacial person. And you know, 525 00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:25,040 Speaker 1: he got to set in front of some brass of 526 00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:30,840 Speaker 1: some teams.
