Speaker 1: go back you listen to the coordinators. I had a

36
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:43,679
Speaker 1: chance to interview all three giants coordinators. I sat down

37
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 1: with them in our studio for ten minutes or so

38
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 1: with each guy, so it's not super long, but it's

39
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 1: a really good conversation. I made sure I ask these

40
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 1: guys questions they have not been asked at the podium before.

41
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 1: It's more big picture philosophical stuff, great stuff to kind

42
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 1: of understand what these guys about, how they're thinking and

43
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 1: how they're going to approach their jobs this year. I

44
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 1: learned a lot from Thomas mcgahey about special teams. Wink

45
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 1: Martindale was great talking about the type of players that

46
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 1: he wants Um on his defense and and how he

47
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:15,679
Speaker 1: thinks about certain positions. And then Mike Hafka talked a

48
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 1: lot about the offense and kind of his philosophical approach

49
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 1: and and we got into some of the town on

50
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 1: the roster and how that's gonna, you know, blend into

51
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 1: the type of offense that him and briandable are gonna run.

52
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 1: And we got a lot into how they game plan

53
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:29,040
Speaker 1: each week to which I thought was interesting, and how

54
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 1: he works together with Daniel Jones and Brian Dable in

55
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 1: game planet. So again, make sure you go to the

56
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 1: podcast previous to this one. I don't usually tell you

57
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 1: things are a must listen. This is a must listen, folks,

64
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 1: in the middle, but let's lead off with my interview

65
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:00,639
Speaker 1: with giants Wide Receiver Kenny Golladay. Ken Man, good to see.

Speaker 1: no more. No matter where you're at, it's gonna always

71
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:16,640
Speaker 1: pretty much be like a packed house. Um, it's nothing

72
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 1: like running out that tunnel, you know, first game of

73
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 1: the season. So how you're feeling physically and mentally, emotionally

74
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:24,079

00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 1: of work? I feel great. Um, I feel like I'm

76
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 1: physically and mentally prepared. I'm excited to get it going.

77
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 1: You know, he talk. Physically, you've had to fight through

78
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 1: injuries for the last couple of years, but this year,

79
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 1: I mean I can't really remember, maybe more than one

80
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 1: practice you didn't do everything out there this summer. You've

81
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 1: been out there. Is this as good as you physically

82
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 1: felt heading into a season for a while? UH, definitely. Um.

83
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 1: You know, I felt hard as I could to be

84
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 1: out there last year for the first game. You know,

85
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 1: still really wasn't Um. This year I definitely feel you know,

86
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 1: D P um. Like I said, I can't say it.

87
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 1: You know enough. If I'm I'm very excited. Um. Body

88
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 1: wise I feel good. How important was it for you

89
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 1: to be out there to build that chemistry in a

90
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 1: new offense with Brian Dable and Daniel Jones so you

91
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 1: can hit the ground running in week one? Very Important

92
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 1: Man um. Like you said, getting that chemistry Dj, also

93
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 1: getting the chemistry with other whiteouts, in the chemistry with

94
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 1: how day ball wants it, how my receiver coach wants it. Um,

95
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:24,719
Speaker 1: that's huge. And for me to be out there, you know,

96
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 1: every practice that was great. And you know, the players

97
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:29,039
Speaker 1: and coaches have talked about if this isn't a run

98
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 1: the pattern on the sheet of paper type of offense.

99
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 1: So is getting that feel with your other wide receivers

100
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:38,679
Speaker 1: and with Daniel even more important in this game? Definitely, Um.

101
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 1: You know, like you said, it's not running the lines

102
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:43,360
Speaker 1: on the paper. Is it's more so. You know, I

103
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:45,719
Speaker 1: would like to say receiver friendly, but if you're not

104
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 1: out there on that practice field, you know, Dj won't

105
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:51,359
Speaker 1: have a good feel of what you actually are trying

106
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 1: to run. So once you go out there each and

107
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 1: every day with him and he knows exactly what you're doing,

108
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,719
Speaker 1: did you get enough good working and practice ending games

109
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 1: where you think you and DJ are going to be

110
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 1: of one mind here, where he's gonna know what you're

111
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:06,239
Speaker 1: gonna do depending on what type of coverage of defense

112
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 1: is gonna show on a given play? Definitely, but you know,

113
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 1: this season is very long. There's definitely gonna be some

114
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:16,040
Speaker 1: bumps in the roads. Um just just going as different defenses.

115
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:18,279
Speaker 1: They're gonna throw different looks at you. You know, we

116
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 1: might get caught once or twice, but you know we

117
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 1: will also be able to kept last. You know, and

118
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 1: given the way you play right you're so big, you're

119
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 1: so long, you're strong. You know this offense. Does it

120
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 1: play to your strengths a little bit, because you don't

121
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:32,920
Speaker 1: need a ton of room to be open. So if

122
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:34,919
Speaker 1: you can use those angles, be on the same page

123
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:38,720
Speaker 1: with Daniel, work against leverage properly, does that just increase

124
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 1: your ability to be effective, given the freedom that they're

125
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 1: giving you to adjust to the coverage? UH, definitely. And

126
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 1: I'll also like to say, you know, just being a

127
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 1: big body for Dj, you know, almost like a security blanket,

128
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 1: I would say just you know, I know that guy.

129
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 1: Make to play. That's that's, that's all I want, you know,

130
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 1: for the offense and for DJ. You know some some

131
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 1: somebody who can just trust me to know how I'll

132
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 1: make the player. Do you say that to him? where?

133
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 1: Look if you don't see anyone and I just have

134
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 1: one guy on me, dude, just throw to me, let

135
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 1: me make a play. I don't say that, reason reason being, Um,

136
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:13,119
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm just not that type of guy that's gonna,

137
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 1: you know, go to the quarterback and say throw it

138
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:17,839
Speaker 1: to me. Um, you gotta earn it. You know, you

139
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 1: earn that on the field and Um, I like to

140
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 1: just lead by example and you know, if we're out

141
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:25,479
Speaker 1: there repping it, you know, over and over and over,

142
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 1: you know, he'll he'll get, you know, a sense to

143
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 1: and feel that like okay, I believe that, k you

144
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:32,680
Speaker 1: would be right there where I need to be. Um.

145
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 1: So that's that's really how much I agree about it.

146
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 1: You mentioned the wide receiver room, getting chemistry with them.

147
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 1: You guys got chepped back about halfway through training camp.

148
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 1: What do you see when you look at this group?

149
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 1: Do you think it's a nice combination of a various

150
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:47,600
Speaker 1: skill sets to really get the most out of this offense? Definitely, Um.

151
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:49,719
Speaker 1: I mean you can even throw say Kwan in there.

152
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 1: You know, Brita, it's IT'S A it's a lot of

153
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 1: weapons on this on this offense. You don't know who

154
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 1: can really get the ball. You know, Um, I guess

155
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:02,040
Speaker 1: luckily for opposing teams is only one ball, but at

156
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:06,120
Speaker 1: the same time, Um, getting shipped back, getting kt back.

157
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:08,479
Speaker 1: You know, me and one Dale, you know out there

158
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 1: pretty much. You know, say Kwan's out there, breeders out there,

159
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 1: are tight ends out there. You know, it's seals, don't

160
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 1: let me forget seals, Um man, we can, we can

161
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:20,080
Speaker 1: really be special, I think. As far as just making plays,

162
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 1: you know, like I said, you don't know who, who

163
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 1: can get the ball, but I think the coaches and

164
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 1: each other, we have the most, you know, belief in

165
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 1: each other. It's having like a basketball team group of

166
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 1: wide receivers. I say basket when you got the little

167
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 1: quick guys, you got the big guys and you have

168
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 1: like the guys that are like the wings that can

169
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 1: do a little bit everything. Doesn't help to have that

170
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 1: those different types of guys that win in different ways

171
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 1: to to make an offense more dangerous? Oh, definitely, Um,

172
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 1: you know, you have, you know, shot plays, underneath plays,

173
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:50,720
Speaker 1: you know, possession plays or just, you know, I said

174
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 1: shot plays, but you know, just explosive plays. I don't

175
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 1: have to be, you know, uh, seven yard bomb every time,

176
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 1: but I mean explosive play. You know, the twenty yard

177
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:00,160
Speaker 1: catch over the middle of still, you know, explore us

178
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 1: to play. So Um, and I feel like all, all,

179
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 1: all of us can do that, you know. Um. So

180
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 1: I think that's gonna make it hard for defenses. We

181
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 1: all know how important explosive plays are to scoring in

182
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 1: the modern NFL. Kenny, what is it about the scheme

183
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 1: and the system dable and cough give put together, combined

184
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 1: with your guys skill sets, that you think this group

185
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 1: can be a group that can put consistent explosive plays

186
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 1: on the field weekend, week out? Um. Or One thing,

187
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 1: you know, with Kafka and Dave's Um, you know they're

188
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 1: not afraid to call those type of plays, you know,

189
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 1: and that's what the receiver, you know, quarterback like Um,

190
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:38,679
Speaker 1: being not afraid to call those plays, having all the

191
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:41,200
Speaker 1: belief in us that we go down and make those

192
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:45,680
Speaker 1: plays come down with those balls, Um, making one guy missing,

193
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 1: you know, taking it forty plus yards. Um. You know

194
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:52,079
Speaker 1: you have a coach, coaches that believe in you. You know,

195
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:56,839
Speaker 1: this is perfect. Two more questions. One, you play against

196
00:08:56,880 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 1: this giant's defensive backgroup every day in practice. What fans

197
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:02,520
Speaker 1: be prepared for? How what they're going to bring to

198
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 1: the field and how they're going to give trouble to

199
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:08,440
Speaker 1: opposing wide receivers based on what you've seen in practice? Um,

200
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 1: are you just talking about like D B DB Wise? Yeah,

201
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 1: a dory, Aaron Dornay, those guys, Um, just scrap you, guys,

202
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 1: scrap you guys, Um. They can all run cover well, Um,

203
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:21,200
Speaker 1: I feel like it's just gonna People. They're gonna be

204
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:23,839
Speaker 1: people who just buy you all the time, just, you know,

205
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 1: being a pest, just nagging the entire time throughout the route. Um,

206
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:29,560
Speaker 1: like I said, they can run, so that helps all right.

207
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 1: Let's talk about the opponents specifically. When you watch the

208
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:34,360
Speaker 1: titans there, the ability of their corners and the scheme

209
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 1: that they run. What are some of the challenges they're

210
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 1: gonna bring to the football field for your group on

211
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:41,400
Speaker 1: Sunday afternoon? Um, what those those guys? You know they've

212
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 1: been they've been doing the right thing, you know, the

213
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:46,600
Speaker 1: Defense Wise, they've been doing the right thing for a

214
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 1: few years now. I want to say they didn't been playoffs,

215
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:52,679
Speaker 1: FO Times, NFC championship game. Um. So it's gonna be

216
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:56,839
Speaker 1: definitely a tough Um, a tough defense, but at the

217
00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:59,320
Speaker 1: end of the day, um, it's just ball. You know,

218
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:01,199
Speaker 1: they still have to worry about us. You know, of

219
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:03,840
Speaker 1: course we're gonna be worried about them. It's all gonna

220
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:05,800
Speaker 1: come down to execute. Are you expecting a lot of

221
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 1: man to man? A lot like you've seen frankly and

222
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:11,240
Speaker 1: camp over the past about the half? Uh, to be honest, man,

223
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:14,240
Speaker 1: you you never know. You know, Um, with the first game,

224
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:16,320
Speaker 1: each each team is still trying to, you know, find

225
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:18,880
Speaker 1: his identity a little bit. Um. So I'm pretty much

226
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:21,599
Speaker 1: ready for whatever. Cool, let's right here. Uh, do you

227
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 1: start start of a New Year? Every New Year's the

228
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:25,680
Speaker 1: new beginning, but do you one of you this is

229
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 1: almost like a new beginning for you in New York

230
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 1: because you mentioned last year you're fighting through injuries. You

231
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 1: tried to get back on the field. Do you see

232
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:33,320
Speaker 1: this could be almost be like a fresh start for

233
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 1: you after a couple of years deal with injuries, to

234
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:37,920
Speaker 1: be honest, as a fresh start for everybody in the building,

235
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:41,600
Speaker 1: coaches wise, fresh start for them at a new place. Um,

236
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 1: even though you know it's gonna be my second year here,

237
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:46,680
Speaker 1: you know, with the organization, but you know, still getting

238
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 1: adjusted to the coaches and that's all. You know, that's

239
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:50,560
Speaker 1: all that matters, Um, you know, as long as you've

240
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:52,320
Speaker 1: gained that trust of the coaches, like I said. So

241
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 1: I always say it's a fresh star for everyone, Kenny,

242
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:56,920

Speaker 1: south champion Titans at Nissan Stadium. And to help set

00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:38,680
Speaker 1: the stage for this game, we are now joined by

257

Speaker 1: the titans radio play by play announcer, Mike Key. Mikey

Speaker 1: got lance meadow and pulled the Tino here on giants

259
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 1: Dot Com. Greatly appreciate the time today. Hope poll as

260
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:50,000
Speaker 1: well has everything on your end, everything is really good

261
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:53,480
Speaker 1: from the standpoint that we're about ready to do this thing.

262
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:56,200
Speaker 1: I think for all of us, when you get to

263
00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 1: the point that you're within hours of kickoff instead of

264
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 1: just Da's away, you can see it and and everybody here,

265
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 1: like you know the other thirty one NFL cities, are,

266
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:10,720
Speaker 1: are very excited. Absolutely and we certainly echo your sentiments.

267
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 1: And normally, Mike, I would start the conversation off with

268
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 1: the offensive side of the ball, but it's fair to

269
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 1: say the biggest storyline coming out of Tennessee right now

270
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:21,560
Speaker 1: is the defense, given the loss of one of their

271
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:24,680
Speaker 1: best defensive playmakers, Harold Landry, for the season because of

272
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:27,400
Speaker 1: a torn a C L he suffered in practice, and

273
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 1: they just rewarded him this offseason with a contract extension.

274
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:33,960
Speaker 1: So two part question here. How does this change the

275
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:37,199
Speaker 1: dynamics of the pass rush in your mind, and who

276
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:41,600
Speaker 1: is first up to step in for the injured Harold Landry?

277
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:44,479
Speaker 1: The thing that you need to understand first and foremost

278
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:47,079
Speaker 1: is harold is one of the five best football players

279
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 1: on this team and his dynamic within the titans in

280
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:55,600
Speaker 1: terms of how he plays, is exactly what they want

281
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 1: to look like, whether it's offense, defense or special teams.

282
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:02,400
Speaker 1: Harold Land Three in the last three seasons has played

283
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:07,000
Speaker 1: over nine of the snaps. He rushes the passer, yes,

284
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:12,120
Speaker 1: but he also really plays outstanding run defense. He's the

285
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:15,440
Speaker 1: guy that if someone catches a screen pass and goes

286
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:19,720
Speaker 1: for fifteen yards, he runs them down. He actually plays

287
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 1: in pass coverage. They will drop him in coverage in

288
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 1: certain instances so they can blitz from another angle to

289
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:30,680
Speaker 1: fool the defense. You can't replace it. There's just nobody

290
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:34,200
Speaker 1: gonna be on the market that gives them the ability

291
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 1: to replace what Harold Landry does. So I think both

292
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 1: of the answers to your question, tying too, or your questions,

293
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 1: I should say, tie into one thing, and that is

294
00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 1: it's probably gonna take a lot of people to make

295
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 1: this happen. They have rashode weaver, a second year pass

296
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:54,360
Speaker 1: rusher from Pitt who had an outstanding preseason. He is

297
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:57,559
Speaker 1: coming off injury. They have Ola a dainty, who is

298
00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:00,840
Speaker 1: the special team's captain, who also rushes the passer well,

299
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 1: but he is not as big a guy. They have

300
00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:06,679
Speaker 1: a guy that they just picked up from the Pittsburgh

301
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 1: steelers off waivers, a motor type player, Derek Tuska, and

302
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:14,640
Speaker 1: he fits this system in terms of style of play,

303
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 1: and then they have several defensive linemen who can rotate

304
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 1: through at that spot. They can swing outside and can

305
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:26,200
Speaker 1: do some different things in different ways, and I think

306
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 1: lance it's gonna take some of all of them to

307
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 1: make it happen. But when we heard the news that

308
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 1: this had happened at practice and you know, he walked

309
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 1: off the practice field, it was one of those you're saying, well,

310
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 1: maybe it's not so bad. You know, maybe it's just

311
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 1: a maybe he just, you know, pulled a muscle, or

312
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 1: it's something minor. And when we got the news everybody

313
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:50,440
Speaker 1: here was just Crestfallen for the fact that Harold is

314
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 1: so admired, much like Derrick Henry is, much like Kevin

315
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 1: Byard is, much like Jeff Simmons is, you know, Ryan Tannehill,

316
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:02,880
Speaker 1: those guy who means so much to the overall football

317
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 1: team for the stature that they have in terms of

318
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:09,960
Speaker 1: how they played the game. Long answer to your questions,

319
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 1: but it's a blow. Well, Mike, how much of the

320
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:16,320
Speaker 1: burden kind of falls on the shoulders of Bud Dupree?

321
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:18,760
Speaker 1: I mean he's now two years removed from the a

322
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 1: C L. I know he missed half the time last

323
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 1: year and then came back and clearly he wasn't himself.

324
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:28,280
Speaker 1: Will they try to move him around a lot, or

325
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 1: is he just gonna keep coming from one side? And

326
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:34,800
Speaker 1: and what are they asking from him? I think, honestly,

327
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 1: whatever they were gonna do with bud is what they're

328
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:40,400
Speaker 1: still gonna do. I think they're just gonna ask him

329
00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:44,320
Speaker 1: to fill the role that he was already set to fill.

330
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 1: Now production wise. Yes, you need the numbers. You know

331
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:53,080
Speaker 1: you you're looking to replace twelve sacks. Dupre's situation was

332
00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:56,200
Speaker 1: interesting because he signs the big contract, comes here after

333
00:15:56,320 --> 00:16:00,240
Speaker 1: the A C L and he wanted to play right way.

334
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:03,600
Speaker 1: And guess what, he made a mistake. And so he

335
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:06,840
Speaker 1: played early in the season. He just had no snap

336
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:08,680
Speaker 1: in that knee. You know, he just didn't feel like

337
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:13,240
Speaker 1: everything was firing. He went back, sat out, did more

338
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:16,560
Speaker 1: Rehab and then all of the sudden, when we got

339
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:20,360
Speaker 1: to December, the guy they signed for all that money

340
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:24,040
Speaker 1: was here. So My expectation is that Bud Dupree is

341
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 1: going to continue that in that same way and play

342
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:32,640
Speaker 1: the way he does. He's not landry, but he's a

343
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 1: different sort of talent. He's a bigger player, you know.

344
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:39,160
Speaker 1: He's obviously a fierce pass rusher with a lot of

345
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:43,440
Speaker 1: different moves. He has really good size. But I don't

346
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 1: think they will say, okay, we're gonna do something philosophical

347
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:52,880
Speaker 1: with him any differently. I think they're just saying hey, bud,

348
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:56,120
Speaker 1: go be the best bud dupree you can be. We'd

349
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:58,520
Speaker 1: love to have double digit sacks from you this year

350
00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:01,240
Speaker 1: and we're not going to ask you to do things

351
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:03,720
Speaker 1: that would take you out of your element. Well, Mike,

352
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:06,680
Speaker 1: to your point, certainly feasible that he can get double

353
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:10,560
Speaker 1: digit sacks based on what he did in Pittsburgh. But interestingly,

354
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:13,879
Speaker 1: Tennessee was the only team last season with three players

355
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 1: to record eight or more sacks, and the reason I'm

356
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:19,879
Speaker 1: bringing that statistic up, Mike, is the fact that it

357
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:22,399
Speaker 1: came a long way the pass rush, because remember, they

358
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:24,240
Speaker 1: had nine two years ago. All of a sudden they

359
00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:26,639
Speaker 1: jumped to forty three. I'm not trying to take anything

360
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 1: away from Landry, but DENICO autry had a very solid season,

361
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:32,600
Speaker 1: who came over from the colts. I guess what I'm

362
00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:36,400
Speaker 1: saying is, how much is this pass rush more piecemeal,

363
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:40,960
Speaker 1: meaning multiple components, as opposed to them necessarily leaning on

364
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:44,560
Speaker 1: one guy in particular, even though Landry did have twelve

365
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:47,240
Speaker 1: last year? That's exactly what it is. I mean, you

366
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:49,160
Speaker 1: said it. You know, they had nine in the playoff

367
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:53,919
Speaker 1: game against Cincinnati and it was crazy. I mean they

368
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:58,720
Speaker 1: had two more that were taken away because the whistle

369
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 1: blew when an offensive lineman jumped off sides or there

370
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:05,240
Speaker 1: was a time out and actual plays were run. I

371
00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 1: mean guys were trying to block and couldn't block him. So, realistically,

372
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:13,840
Speaker 1: they had eleven. It was crazy and it came from everywhere.

373
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:17,160
Speaker 1: Jeff Simmons is the is the first guy to watch.

374
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:20,480
Speaker 1: Jeffrey Simmons, who we refer to down here as Big Jeff,

375
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:25,119
Speaker 1: is the guy who makes it all go uh, and

376
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:28,960
Speaker 1: he has taken a major step in every year in

377
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 1: his career. If he does that again this year, he

378
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:36,080
Speaker 1: becomes a superstar. I think he becomes one of those

379
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:40,320
Speaker 1: guys you start to talk about in an Aaron Donald Class,

380
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:44,320
Speaker 1: and I don't say that lightly. I hate comparisons and

381
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:47,560
Speaker 1: I hate throwing out, you know, sort of platitudes for

382
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:51,399
Speaker 1: no reason, but this guy is a great football player,

383
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:57,119
Speaker 1: the Nico Autry, uh, master of a lot of different things,

384
00:18:57,640 --> 00:18:59,720
Speaker 1: a guy who came up the hard way, was an

385
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:03,480
Speaker 1: drafted player, a guy when he was in Oakland we

386
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:07,040
Speaker 1: couldn't block, a guy who he was in Indianapolis, we

387
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:11,040
Speaker 1: couldn't block. So we signed him, even even if we

388
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:13,119
Speaker 1: had never played him, even if we just said Hey,

389
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:15,240
Speaker 1: you just sit on the sideline, it would have been

390
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:19,399
Speaker 1: money well spent, because he tortured es. Well, then he

391
00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:22,239
Speaker 1: comes in here and does the same thing for us.

392
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:26,160
Speaker 1: To me he is a huge, key component in all

393
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 1: of this. And then you have Zack Cunningham, who I

394
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:32,600
Speaker 1: think is sort of the untalked about factor. The Titans

395
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:36,400
Speaker 1: got him late in the year off waivers when Houston

396
00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:39,360
Speaker 1: decided they didn't want one of the best linebackers in football,

397
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:43,120
Speaker 1: and he is a guy who has pass rush ability.

398
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:46,520
Speaker 1: Kevin byard and a monty hooker. The safeties are both

399
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:50,159
Speaker 1: good blitzers, so it can come from a lot of

400
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:53,680
Speaker 1: different places with this scheme. The reason they got so

401
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:56,720
Speaker 1: much better last year is they improved the talent. It

402
00:19:56,960 --> 00:20:00,720
Speaker 1: just said John Robinson said at the end of he said,

403
00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:03,800
Speaker 1: you know, we're just not good enough on defense. It's

404
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:07,040
Speaker 1: not scheme, it's not coaching, it's we got to get

405
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:09,600
Speaker 1: some better players. And they went out and did and

406
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:13,200
Speaker 1: then guys who had already been here fed off that

407
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:17,399
Speaker 1: edition of the talent and the scheme and everything they

408
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:19,920
Speaker 1: wanted to do sort of kicked in the gear. Mike.

409
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:23,159
Speaker 1: Let me go to the secondary because it seems to

410
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:27,240
Speaker 1: me there there are two kind of questionable or unproven

411
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:31,119
Speaker 1: things that need to be addressed. First of all, Calib Farley,

412
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:34,160
Speaker 1: coming off of the the A C l last year, appears,

413
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:37,040
Speaker 1: from what I've read, to perhaps have lost his starting

414
00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:39,960
Speaker 1: job on the corner to Roger McCreary, who we know

415
00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:42,720
Speaker 1: at all. Burn was a really good press corner and

416
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 1: that's the reason they drafted him in the second round.

417
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:51,240
Speaker 1: And then nickelback Elijah UH molded. I'm reading that he's

418
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:54,200
Speaker 1: on the injury report with a groin. Now, if those

419
00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:57,240
Speaker 1: two guys can't play up the bar in the secondary,

420
00:20:57,359 --> 00:21:00,400
Speaker 1: that might be an area the giants water attack. Certainly.

421
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:03,720
Speaker 1: I mean you're we've got some some questions and some

422
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:08,480
Speaker 1: youth there. UH, listen, mccrarry's gonna play and and and

423
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:11,240
Speaker 1: Farley's gonna play too. You're you're gonna see both of

424
00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:15,600
Speaker 1: those guys. The titans traded for Ugo Amadi, who had

425
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:19,520
Speaker 1: played the nickel in Seattle, and if Movin can't go,

426
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:22,359
Speaker 1: I'd say Ugo will have some kind of role and

427
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:25,320
Speaker 1: kind of exciting for for him. He's a Nashville native,

428
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:28,679
Speaker 1: so he's very excited to be back. And then they

429
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:30,760
Speaker 1: have a couple of other young guys that they've been

430
00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 1: teaching various positions in the secondary, trying to to give

431
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:39,440
Speaker 1: them some versatility. But listen, Moben did a nice job

432
00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:42,480
Speaker 1: for this team last year. Really did a super job

433
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:47,680
Speaker 1: as especially as a rookie in the nickel role. Um,

434
00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:51,560
Speaker 1: I think you could see guys line up in all

435
00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:55,560
Speaker 1: different sorts of places as they try to figure out

436
00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:58,480
Speaker 1: the best combination. But sure, I mean it's something we

437
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:01,480
Speaker 1: will be watching in this ballgame, like I'm sure the

438
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:04,560
Speaker 1: giants will. We're talking with Mike Keith. Titans radio played

439
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:06,400
Speaker 1: by play announcers are getting a set for the week

440
00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:09,600
Speaker 1: one matchup for the giants in Tennessee. Mike, as we

441
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:13,000
Speaker 1: transition to other facets of this titans team, I want

442
00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:15,640
Speaker 1: to focus on the coordinators, and the reason I bring

443
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:18,680
Speaker 1: that up is while Tennessee has continuity staff is still

444
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:20,560
Speaker 1: in place, the giants are a bit of a wild

445
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:24,159
Speaker 1: card this season. Brand New coaching staff, new schemes, a

446
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:27,560
Speaker 1: lot of new players. So if you're Tennessee, you're watching,

447
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:31,080
Speaker 1: I'm sure, Buffalo and Kansas City film based on Brian

448
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:34,800
Speaker 1: Dable and Mike cafis connections. But if you're the offense,

449
00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:39,440
Speaker 1: you're probably focusing on Baltimore with wink, Martin Dale and, interestingly, Mike,

450
00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:42,200
Speaker 1: the titans played the Ravens twice in two thousand twenty

451
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:45,520
Speaker 1: and the regular season in the playoffs two completely different outcomes.

452
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:49,120
Speaker 1: But I guess what I'm getting at is how advantageous

453
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:52,200
Speaker 1: do you think it will be for the Tennessee offense

454
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:56,080
Speaker 1: that Ryan Tannehill and company have been exposed to Winks

455
00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:59,399
Speaker 1: Baltimore Scheme? Well, if you've seen what he did to

456
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:01,680
Speaker 1: us to best time we've played him, you'd probably say

457
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:05,040
Speaker 1: not much. He worked JUST OVER UH IN A playoff game.

458
00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:08,520
Speaker 1: We played him three times in less than a year.

459
00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:11,280
Speaker 1: We played him in the A F C divisional round

460
00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:15,280
Speaker 1: in January, a regular season game that we want in

461
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:20,440
Speaker 1: overtime at Baltimore, and then the playoff game where Baltimore

462
00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:24,040
Speaker 1: came to Nashville and won thirteen and really shut the

463
00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:26,840
Speaker 1: titans down. Yeah, we know wing Martindale and we know

464
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:30,040
Speaker 1: what's coming. Wink martindale would blits his own mother. I

465
00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:34,040
Speaker 1: mean that's just the way and he may have for

466
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:38,440
Speaker 1: all I know. Um, he's coming, you know and, but

467
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:41,399
Speaker 1: but you don't know where he's coming from, right and

468
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:44,200
Speaker 1: you don't know who he will utilize in some of

469
00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:48,359
Speaker 1: those packages and the way that he is able to

470
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:54,320
Speaker 1: sort of Um disguise the various looks and the fact

471
00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:56,399
Speaker 1: that the titans are gonna have two new starters on

472
00:23:56,480 --> 00:24:01,040
Speaker 1: the offensive line. The tight end core is relatively new.

473
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:03,440
Speaker 1: To hear two of the three guys who a player knew.

474
00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:07,000
Speaker 1: The receivers are kind of new and so they're gonna

475
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:09,760
Speaker 1: have to make adjustments. I mean there's a there's a

476
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:13,440
Speaker 1: tremendous challenge. Would it be better for the titans if

477
00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:16,000
Speaker 1: they were playing some team that just laid back and

478
00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:19,200
Speaker 1: played zone, you know, played Tampa two of some sort,

479
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:21,840
Speaker 1: and didn't try to bring pressure? Yeah, that would be better,

480
00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:27,360
Speaker 1: because wink Martindale is going to come with pressure, pressure, pressure,

481
00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:29,760
Speaker 1: he's gonna try to make big plays. He wants to

482
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:32,920
Speaker 1: get off the field, he wants to turn the football over,

483
00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:36,240
Speaker 1: he wants to force you into bad plays, the change

484
00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:40,520
Speaker 1: field position. In those setups you do have some opportunities

485
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:44,760
Speaker 1: for big plays, but what wink Martindale knows is his

486
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:48,120
Speaker 1: chances of having a big play on defense are better

487
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:52,120
Speaker 1: than your chances of making a big play against him.

488
00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:55,479
Speaker 1: And I thought when they hired him, when when they

489
00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:58,760
Speaker 1: went in that direction, I thought that is so smart

490
00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:02,520
Speaker 1: of everybody is so created with the giants because you know,

491
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:05,960
Speaker 1: whatever happened in Baltimore, time was up, I guess. But

492
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:09,560
Speaker 1: he's a really, really good football coach and I know

493
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:13,639
Speaker 1: in watching the preparation for wink Martindale teams over the

494
00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:17,879
Speaker 1: years and this week it's so much about having to

495
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:21,640
Speaker 1: be precise and having to be on point with everything,

496
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:24,080
Speaker 1: and you guys know this. A lot of times in

497
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:27,320
Speaker 1: week one you're not. So it's a it's a really,

498
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:31,720
Speaker 1: really tough draw for anybody. Well, despite the challenge for

499
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:35,040
Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill, Mike, I'm reading quotes about him that it's

500
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:38,639
Speaker 1: still burns in his gut about the last moments of

501
00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:42,000
Speaker 1: that pick against Cincinnati that led to the winning field

502
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:45,280
Speaker 1: goal that sent the bengals into the next round little playoffs.

503
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:49,320
Speaker 1: I mean, if I'm to believe the quotes, Tannehill is

504
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:52,320
Speaker 1: loaded for bear. What kind of camp has he had

505
00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:56,639
Speaker 1: and and do you think that the team has lost

506
00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:59,639
Speaker 1: any level of confidence in him after what happened in

507
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:02,560
Speaker 1: that season? I do not think they've lost any level

508
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:06,200
Speaker 1: of confidence in him at all and I think what

509
00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:11,040
Speaker 1: what I've seen from Tannehill is an intensity from July

510
00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 1: on he walked back and you know, a lot of

511
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:18,439
Speaker 1: veterans come in, you're thirty four years old and how

512
00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:21,440
Speaker 1: are you approaching camp? You'RE gonna ramp up, you're gonna

513
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:24,720
Speaker 1: take your time. There's nothing wrong with that because because

514
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:26,920
Speaker 1: as an old vet, what do you know? You know

515
00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:29,920
Speaker 1: it's a long season, right, you know? You know you

516
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:34,320
Speaker 1: don't get fired up for for every single moment of everything. Well,

517
00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:38,280
Speaker 1: guess what? Tannehill has chosen this year, his eleventh in

518
00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:41,760
Speaker 1: the League, thirty four year old quarterback has come in

519
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:45,560
Speaker 1: here with his hair on fire every day and his

520
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:50,600
Speaker 1: practice has been crisper. His overall work with his teammates

521
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:54,760
Speaker 1: has been outstanding. He hasn't missed any days. A key

522
00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:57,880
Speaker 1: for Ryan and all of this too, is his receivers

523
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:01,560
Speaker 1: have not missed days. That you know. Okay, maybe they've

524
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:03,720
Speaker 1: taken a day off here and there, but my point being,

525
00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:06,879
Speaker 1: they have been here every single day working and when

526
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:10,120
Speaker 1: he doesn't like it, he tells him. When somebody does

527
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:12,960
Speaker 1: something he doesn't like, he has something to say about it.

528
00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:16,639
Speaker 1: I think he gets the intensity of where he is

529
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:20,040
Speaker 1: in his career. And and here's what. Here's what the

530
00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:23,000
Speaker 1: fire burning has to do with guys. It has to

531
00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:26,159
Speaker 1: do with the fact that the Tennessee Titans missed a

532
00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:31,119
Speaker 1: golden opportunity last year, a golden opportunity. Two wins at

533
00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:34,040
Speaker 1: home and you go to the super bowl to play

534
00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:38,200
Speaker 1: a team that you absolutely bludgeoned on Sunday night football

535
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:42,600
Speaker 1: in November and you're healthy. Everything was going the titans way.

536
00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:48,000
Speaker 1: The crowd was unbelievable. It was an incredible, incredible day overall,

537
00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:52,120
Speaker 1: and yet they know laid an egg in key moments

538
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:56,000
Speaker 1: and and missed an opportunity. So I think the fires

539
00:27:56,119 --> 00:28:01,120
Speaker 1: burning for everybody. But the intensity from Tannehill has more

540
00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:03,639
Speaker 1: to do with the moment where he is in his

541
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:07,560
Speaker 1: life and and is in his career than a loss

542
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:10,960
Speaker 1: of confidence in himself or loss of confidence with the team.

543
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:15,840
Speaker 1: He saw how close they were and that they didn't

544
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:18,480
Speaker 1: get that done and he wants to get that final

545
00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:21,240
Speaker 1: step because, like every player in the NFL, he wants

546
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:23,280
Speaker 1: to win a super bowl. Mike, you brought up the

547
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:26,400
Speaker 1: receiving corps. We know so much of what Tennessee does

548
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:30,240
Speaker 1: obviously operates around the rushing attack with Derrick Henry, but

549
00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:32,280
Speaker 1: there were a lot of changes to the receiving corp

550
00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:34,840
Speaker 1: of this off season. Five of the titans top six

551
00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:37,680
Speaker 1: players in receiving yards are actually no longer on the

552
00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:40,520
Speaker 1: team from last season and clearly a j brown the

553
00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:43,160
Speaker 1: most notable. So I think going into week one a

554
00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:46,000
Speaker 1: lot of people are wondering, well, what is this passing

555
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:48,840
Speaker 1: attack going to look like and who could be the

556
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:52,560
Speaker 1: big heavy lifters, specifically trailing birds, the rookie? So how

557
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:55,240
Speaker 1: do you see this group and where they may lean

558
00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:59,200
Speaker 1: on specific personnel? They made the trade for Robert Woods

559
00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:01,840
Speaker 1: in March, which I thought it was a very smart

560
00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:05,840
Speaker 1: trade at the time because they acquired a veteran receiver

561
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:07,920
Speaker 1: and if you need him to be the one, fine,

562
00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:10,240
Speaker 1: if it's the two, if it's the three, he doesn't care.

563
00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:14,160
Speaker 1: He gets a pro and just goes about his business

564
00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:16,920
Speaker 1: the right way all the time and it appeared as

565
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:19,400
Speaker 1: though he was going to be the perfect compliment to

566
00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:23,520
Speaker 1: a j brown. Well then, obviously what happened happened. So

567
00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:27,320
Speaker 1: you you've got Robert Woods, who's taken a bigger leadership

568
00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:29,640
Speaker 1: role than I think anybody thought he would need to

569
00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:34,240
Speaker 1: Nick Westbrook, a Keyne has come back and year three

570
00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:37,400
Speaker 1: and he's had an excellent camp. And then you found

571
00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:40,400
Speaker 1: a slot receiver in Kyle Phillips, in the fifth round

572
00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:43,280
Speaker 1: of the draft and then you draft trailing burkes. Now

573
00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:46,560
Speaker 1: trailing has really come on strong over the last three weeks.

574
00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:48,560
Speaker 1: He had a very good camp overall. He had a

575
00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:51,480
Speaker 1: lull in the middle, you know he had that. He

576
00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:53,440
Speaker 1: had that rookie lull where I don't know if he

577
00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:56,560
Speaker 1: was tired or he just didn't have the concentration, but

578
00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:58,200
Speaker 1: he had a couple of days in practice where he'd

579
00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:01,040
Speaker 1: played very well and the head and the general manager

580
00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:04,800
Speaker 1: really challenged him and he is bounced back nicely. Uh So,

581
00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:08,800
Speaker 1: between that group and then the improvement at tight end.

582
00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:12,800
Speaker 1: Remember the titans were a tight end team that did

583
00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:16,040
Speaker 1: things very well in tight ends weren't very good last

584
00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:19,520
Speaker 1: year and that hurt Tannehill will. So they bring Jeff

585
00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:22,360
Speaker 1: Swain back and that was a good thing, and then

586
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:25,600
Speaker 1: they go out and get Austin Hooper, and Austin Hooper

587
00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:28,640
Speaker 1: is a guy who fits in totally with Tannehill. And

588
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:31,280
Speaker 1: then they drafted Chicka con quo, who was the fastest

589
00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:34,440
Speaker 1: tight end in last year's draft. So the reason I

590
00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:37,800
Speaker 1: bring that up is I think some of the receiving

591
00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:42,720
Speaker 1: loss will be made up for end tight end production.

592
00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:46,120
Speaker 1: I also think, you know, Don trelle hilliard is a

593
00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:50,080
Speaker 1: back who can catch the football too and has great speed,

594
00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:52,560
Speaker 1: and they may find some ways to use him as well.

595
00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:55,560
Speaker 1: So this may be back to what has been a

596
00:30:55,680 --> 00:31:00,120
Speaker 1: more traditional titans attack, where it's less about stars and

597
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:03,080
Speaker 1: more about the group. But, hey, to the point, we

598
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:06,040
Speaker 1: gotta see it right, you know. That's that's where we're

599
00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:08,080
Speaker 1: at it this moment in time, as you have to

600
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:11,000
Speaker 1: be able to see it happen. Mike, we're working with

601
00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:14,520
Speaker 1: the inverted pyramid here, which is why Derrick Henry becomes

602
00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:16,520
Speaker 1: one of the last items that we're going to ask

603
00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:21,960
Speaker 1: you about, and I was waiting on you. UH, after

604
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:24,560
Speaker 1: missing nine games with that foot injury last year, we

605
00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:26,800
Speaker 1: know he came back and ran for over sixty yards

606
00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:31,200
Speaker 1: against Cincinnati. What kind of camp has he had? Do

607
00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:34,880
Speaker 1: you expect him to be a bell cow white out

608
00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:37,680
Speaker 1: of the gate and carry the ball at least twenty

609
00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:42,880
Speaker 1: five times against the giants? Yes, Um, you know what

610
00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:47,400
Speaker 1: was really interesting about Derek is Derek came back and

611
00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:50,560
Speaker 1: he practiced for three weeks before the first game in

612
00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:53,160
Speaker 1: the playoffs when we played Cincinnati, and you know, he

613
00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:55,880
Speaker 1: even said he goes. I've been hitting three months I

614
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:58,520
Speaker 1: haven't gone through all of this stuff. He goes. I've

615
00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:00,720
Speaker 1: sort of got I've got to get ready to go

616
00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:03,000
Speaker 1: and we thought, you know, if we get through the

617
00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:07,520
Speaker 1: Cincinnati game, he'll be sharper against Kansas City and then

618
00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:10,200
Speaker 1: if you get to Kansas City, he'll be really sharp

619
00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:13,000
Speaker 1: for the Super Bowl. Well, I mean that obviously didn't

620
00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:16,800
Speaker 1: happen and that burned him too. It burned Derrick Henry

621
00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:19,720
Speaker 1: that he did all this work to come back and

622
00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:22,440
Speaker 1: his guys that held it together and gone six and

623
00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:26,400
Speaker 1: three without him and then they come back and, you know,

624
00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:29,480
Speaker 1: like Tannehill, he didn't have a very good day. Um.

625
00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:32,920
Speaker 1: So he has been motivated and the nice part of

626
00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:36,920
Speaker 1: this for Derek is he didn't spend the off season rehabbing.

627
00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:40,480
Speaker 1: He was already rehabbed. So he went back to that

628
00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:44,040
Speaker 1: crazy Derrick Henry work and I'm sure you guys have

629
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:46,640
Speaker 1: seen some of his workout videos there. They look like,

630
00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:50,400
Speaker 1: you know, the rock or something. It's crazy. And he

631
00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:54,440
Speaker 1: has been so productive in camp. UH, they basically put

632
00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:57,720
Speaker 1: him in bubble wrap for six weeks and didn't you know,

633
00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:00,240
Speaker 1: didn't let him take any shots and this team really

634
00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:04,000
Speaker 1: manages him very well and so now they've been able

635
00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:06,320
Speaker 1: to to sort of see over the last couple of

636
00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:10,160
Speaker 1: weeks him doing more things geared toward game plan, geared

637
00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:13,280
Speaker 1: toward getting ready for the regular season. And yes, I

638
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:16,680
Speaker 1: think he's getting the football. I think there's I think

639
00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:18,560
Speaker 1: there's no doubt about it. Is You're going to get

640
00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:20,280
Speaker 1: him in and try to get him into the mix.

641
00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:22,520
Speaker 1: The Guy He helps the most is tannehill. I mean

642
00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:26,000
Speaker 1: you look at the numbers. I mean Tannehill's quarterback rating

643
00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:30,200
Speaker 1: with Derrick Henry on the field is slightly over one hundred.

644
00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:34,560
Speaker 1: Without Derrick Henry it's eighty five point five. And what

645
00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:37,840
Speaker 1: that has to do with, in my opinion, is how

646
00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:41,920
Speaker 1: that works play action, because if you don't respect Derrick Henry,

647
00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:44,560
Speaker 1: you've got a problem as a defense. And I'm sure

648
00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:47,640
Speaker 1: you know, in listening to what Wink Martin Dale said,

649
00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:51,720
Speaker 1: I'm absolutely certain they will respect especially when Wink Martin

650
00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:54,680
Speaker 1: Dale referred to Derrick Henry as Jim Brown. Something tells

651
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:57,800
Speaker 1: me might spot on that. They'll be paying slightly close

652
00:33:57,880 --> 00:34:02,120
Speaker 1: attention to the main running backs Tennessee Mike. Last one

653
00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:05,280
Speaker 1: for me. You alluded to changes on the offensive line

654
00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:07,840
Speaker 1: and clearly that goes hand in hand with the rushing attack.

655
00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:11,320
Speaker 1: Aaron Brewer, left guard, who was on the roster but

656
00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:13,360
Speaker 1: now takes over a more prominent role, and then the

657
00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:17,600
Speaker 1: rookie at right tackle, Nicholas Petty Frere, who comes out

658
00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:21,080
Speaker 1: of Ohio state. How do those changes, you think, at all,

659
00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:25,239
Speaker 1: impact the ability for them specifically to lean on the

660
00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:28,080
Speaker 1: rushing attack this season? I think we're all waiting to see.

661
00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:32,200
Speaker 1: Uh Brewer is not nearly as big as Roger Saffield,

662
00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:35,320
Speaker 1: and make no mistake about it, the titans would have

663
00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:37,360
Speaker 1: loved to have had Roger Saffield back. That was a

664
00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:39,760
Speaker 1: money thing, you know, you have to make some decisions

665
00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:44,000
Speaker 1: based on money, and that's what happened. Uh saffold is

666
00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:47,680
Speaker 1: three hundred and thirty pounds. Brewer does not weigh three

667
00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:51,280
Speaker 1: hundred pounds, but brewer will fight you. So the reason

668
00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:54,799
Speaker 1: this staff has had confidence since he was an undrafted

669
00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:57,440
Speaker 1: out of Texas state two and a half years ago,

670
00:34:57,560 --> 00:35:00,200
Speaker 1: and he rolled into this building, and I mean else.

671
00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:03,520
Speaker 1: Scrap he'll get after you went in? Doubt not the

672
00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:05,440
Speaker 1: crap out of somebody. You know. If he if he

673
00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:08,160
Speaker 1: blocks the wrong man, fine, but he's gonna he's gonna

674
00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:10,959
Speaker 1: take a shot at somebody. He is a tough guy

675
00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:15,640
Speaker 1: and they're excited about having his athleticism and his toughness.

676
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:19,000
Speaker 1: He's also, and they lined him up his rookie year

677
00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:24,080
Speaker 1: summit fullback. He's really fast, like probably in the four

678
00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:27,200
Speaker 1: or eight and he can do a backflip, so that

679
00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:32,120
Speaker 1: tells you. I mean his athleticism is nuts um, but

680
00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:33,920
Speaker 1: you know he's still got to just line up and

681
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:37,319
Speaker 1: block people. Petit Frere is going to be a star.

682
00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:39,839
Speaker 1: Will he be a star right out of the gate?

683
00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:41,839
Speaker 1: You know, it's probably the same question you have there

684
00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:44,880
Speaker 1: about Evan Neil. You know, you just how do how

685
00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:47,920
Speaker 1: does it factor right out of the gate? Don't know,

686
00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:51,120
Speaker 1: I haven't seen him in those sort of situations. But

687
00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:55,359
Speaker 1: he won this job by the fact that he continued

688
00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:58,480
Speaker 1: improving all the way through. And I compare it to

689
00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:02,880
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen when they stuck right guard Nate Davis in

690
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:05,960
Speaker 1: the lineup in week four in Atlanta and he wasn't

691
00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:09,359
Speaker 1: very good, but what they said is he's the best

692
00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:12,320
Speaker 1: guy we got and he's going to be an excellent player.

693
00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:15,120
Speaker 1: We gotta play and I think with Petit Frere, and

694
00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:17,640
Speaker 1: that's the thing that they've come up to is. They said, Hey,

695
00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:21,120
Speaker 1: he's the best guy we've got, he's a talent, we're

696
00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:23,640
Speaker 1: gonna win with him in time. We've got to get

697
00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:25,879
Speaker 1: him in there because the only way he's gonna Learn

698
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:28,800
Speaker 1: is to play. But he you know, he is a

699
00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:32,560
Speaker 1: wide body at three five pounds. He's that road greater

700
00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:35,880
Speaker 1: type that you like at the right tackle spot. Really

701
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:40,360
Speaker 1: really bright young man. Um good stuff on the horizon

702
00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:43,560
Speaker 1: for him, I thought. You know, they targeted him to

703
00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:46,200
Speaker 1: they made the trade with the jets, did the titans

704
00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:50,279
Speaker 1: for the pick, and with the three picks that they

705
00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:54,040
Speaker 1: got from the jets, they ended up with Roger mccrary,

706
00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:58,680
Speaker 1: Nicholas Petit Frere and Kyle Phillips, and there's a chance

707
00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:02,440
Speaker 1: all three of those guys start on Sunday against the giant. Yeah,

708
00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:05,359
Speaker 1: I'd say that deal turned out pretty good right now. Yeah,

709
00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:09,040
Speaker 1: that's pretty good work. Well, last question from me, Mike,

710
00:37:09,120 --> 00:37:11,359
Speaker 1: and I got to go to special teams, because during

711
00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:14,040
Speaker 1: the preseason, and I know it doesn't necessarily mean a

712
00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:17,759
Speaker 1: hill of beans, but the giants had a very difficult

713
00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:22,440
Speaker 1: time covering kicks and I've read that that Kyle Phillips,

714
00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:24,360
Speaker 1: the rookie that you just mentioned, out at U C

715
00:37:24,640 --> 00:37:28,120
Speaker 1: L A UH may wind up being at least the

716
00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:31,840
Speaker 1: point returner. At the very least. His career with the

717
00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:35,600
Speaker 1: Bruins is very, very explosive and dangerous. I looked at

718
00:37:35,600 --> 00:37:40,239
Speaker 1: the numbers. Twenty six point returns, nineteen yard average and

719
00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:45,600
Speaker 1: two touchdowns. I'm I'm kind of concerned right now, if

720
00:37:45,640 --> 00:37:48,160
Speaker 1: I'm the giant special teams unit, that this guy could

721
00:37:48,160 --> 00:37:52,520
Speaker 1: do damage. Yeah, he's pretty good. He is. And you know,

722
00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:54,680
Speaker 1: he was a four star coming out of high school

723
00:37:54,719 --> 00:37:58,640
Speaker 1: in California when when we met him. I mean he's

724
00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:02,280
Speaker 1: not a big boat. He I mean he's an athletic

725
00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:05,000
Speaker 1: looking guys. He's a guy who looks like he's in shape.

726
00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:07,240
Speaker 1: I mean if you saw him at the gym, you think, okay,

727
00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:11,360
Speaker 1: this you know he's he works out, but he he

728
00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:15,120
Speaker 1: doesn't have the same look as other people in terms

729
00:38:15,160 --> 00:38:17,160
Speaker 1: of like you see trailing Burkes, you're like, man, that's

730
00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:20,920
Speaker 1: a dude, that that's not what Phillips does. But Phillips

731
00:38:21,239 --> 00:38:24,600
Speaker 1: has some wiggle. It's a it's a natural thing. It's

732
00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:28,720
Speaker 1: an athletic thing and he he has him in eight gifts,

733
00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:32,759
Speaker 1: but he's got some some real athleticism that makes him

734
00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:35,800
Speaker 1: a good slot and that makes him a good returner.

735
00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:38,920
Speaker 1: What's he gonna look like the first time on an

736
00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:42,200
Speaker 1: opening weekend, though, and, and that's the thing for the titans,

737
00:38:42,719 --> 00:38:47,080
Speaker 1: they may play more rookies in this game than they

738
00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:51,080
Speaker 1: have ever played in the history of this aren't incarnation

739
00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:54,000
Speaker 1: of the franchise. If they played ten rookies and they

740
00:38:54,040 --> 00:38:56,680
Speaker 1: have eleven on the roster, that will be the most

741
00:38:56,760 --> 00:38:59,400
Speaker 1: they've ever played. Since this team moved from Houston, it

742
00:38:59,480 --> 00:39:03,120
Speaker 1: became the how are they gonna do? Is He gonna

743
00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:08,040
Speaker 1: catch the first punts? You know, with rookies they've they've

744
00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:12,279
Speaker 1: got a rookie punter in stone house. He's phenomenal out

745
00:39:12,360 --> 00:39:14,960
Speaker 1: here on the practice field. He also dropped a snap

746
00:39:15,040 --> 00:39:18,640
Speaker 1: in the preseason. Um, what was it? Bill parcels used

747
00:39:18,640 --> 00:39:21,120
Speaker 1: to say? Rookies get you beat or something to that effect.

748
00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:24,680
Speaker 1: I'm probably taking the lipids, but Um, but the but

749
00:39:24,840 --> 00:39:27,320
Speaker 1: the point is, you know, that's a lot of what

750
00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:31,680
Speaker 1: we're gonna see um in some key situations for the titans.

751
00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:34,920
Speaker 1: And while they love this rookie class and they're excited

752
00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:37,960
Speaker 1: about him, Um, how do they perform in week one?

753
00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:40,839
Speaker 1: I think that's the question everybody has certainly a lot

754
00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:43,680
Speaker 1: of question marks on both sides of this equation. As

755
00:39:43,719 --> 00:39:46,120
Speaker 1: the giants and the titans kick off the two thousand

756
00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:49,800
Speaker 1: twenty two regular season week one matchup in Nashville and

757
00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:54,279
Speaker 1: Nissan Stadium, a four PM eastern kickoff. Is Mike Keith,

758
00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:57,160

771

00:40:36,680 --> 00:40:39,879
Speaker 1: season game. Bob Popa had a chance to sit down

Speaker 1: our radio pregame show on Sunday. So, without further ado,

776
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:52,200
Speaker 1: Bob Papa and giants head coach, Brian Dable, coach, so

777
00:40:52,360 --> 00:40:56,799
Speaker 1: much excitement about today's game kicking off the season. You've

778
00:40:56,840 --> 00:40:59,040
Speaker 1: gone through a lot of work, obviously getting the job

779
00:40:59,120 --> 00:41:02,160
Speaker 1: back in January and then trying to build this roster.

780
00:41:02,920 --> 00:41:06,120
Speaker 1: It's evolving as we move forward. But just talk about

781
00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:09,480
Speaker 1: your team's preparedness as you step into this game against

782
00:41:09,520 --> 00:41:12,279
Speaker 1: a very tough foe today in the Tennessee Titans. I

783
00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:14,520
Speaker 1: think our coaches have done a really good job of

784
00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:17,960
Speaker 1: preparing the players with the weekly game plans, uh, in

785
00:41:18,040 --> 00:41:21,000
Speaker 1: the kicking game, on defense and on offense, and I

786
00:41:21,040 --> 00:41:23,920
Speaker 1: think the players have had a good week of practice. Um,

787
00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:27,719
Speaker 1: you know, learning from the corrections, practicing fast, playing with

788
00:41:27,840 --> 00:41:31,600
Speaker 1: good fundamentals. Um, I know we're excited to get out

789
00:41:31,640 --> 00:41:34,440
Speaker 1: here and get going here. All right, listen, Um, the

790
00:41:34,520 --> 00:41:36,520
Speaker 1: Tennessee titans with the number one seed in the A

791
00:41:36,680 --> 00:41:39,360
Speaker 1: F C last year. Uh, Mike Vrabel has done a

792
00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:42,080
Speaker 1: wonderful job with this football team and one of the

793
00:41:42,200 --> 00:41:45,480
Speaker 1: things that they do is Um. They run the football.

794
00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:48,640
Speaker 1: It's no big secret with Derrick Henry. What makes this

795
00:41:48,840 --> 00:41:53,399
Speaker 1: ground attack so difficult to defend? Well, first let's start

796
00:41:53,440 --> 00:41:57,120
Speaker 1: with the player in in Derrick Henry, he's a you know,

797
00:41:57,200 --> 00:42:00,200
Speaker 1: one of the best players in the league. Um. He's

798
00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:05,640
Speaker 1: a dynamic runner. He's big, he's strong, he's quick, he's fast,

799
00:42:05,760 --> 00:42:09,799
Speaker 1: he's got good vision. They utilize different runs. I'd say

800
00:42:09,840 --> 00:42:14,360
Speaker 1: they're they're more of an outside zone running team. I

801
00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:17,880
Speaker 1: think their line, their receivers are all tied in of

802
00:42:18,120 --> 00:42:20,800
Speaker 1: of how to block that play Um, and it's not

803
00:42:20,920 --> 00:42:22,239
Speaker 1: they don't do it all the time. They have some

804
00:42:22,360 --> 00:42:24,680
Speaker 1: other things that they run, but we're gonna have to

805
00:42:24,760 --> 00:42:27,800
Speaker 1: do a really good job up front um at the

806
00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:30,799
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage and then really getting the Leven hats

807
00:42:30,840 --> 00:42:33,919
Speaker 1: to the ball when you go to the other side

808
00:42:33,920 --> 00:42:36,880
Speaker 1: of the ball. Obviously, with Sae Kwon Barkley back and healthy,

809
00:42:37,640 --> 00:42:41,080
Speaker 1: he's an ace himself. Tennessee last season they were second

810
00:42:41,120 --> 00:42:44,040
Speaker 1: in the NFL in rushing yards allowed per game. Only

811
00:42:44,080 --> 00:42:47,480
Speaker 1: Baltimore was better. Um, when you look at that front

812
00:42:47,840 --> 00:42:49,440
Speaker 1: and you try to attack him, what are some of

813
00:42:49,520 --> 00:42:52,120
Speaker 1: the things that just jump out on the tape for

814
00:42:52,200 --> 00:42:55,359
Speaker 1: you that are like, man, they're good at this. Yeah, well,

815
00:42:55,440 --> 00:42:58,120
Speaker 1: I mean first they're just good players. You know, start

816
00:42:58,160 --> 00:43:01,480
Speaker 1: with Simmons inside there and you know dupree, and then

817
00:43:01,719 --> 00:43:05,840
Speaker 1: inside backers with long and Cunningham Autry. UH, they have

818
00:43:06,120 --> 00:43:08,359
Speaker 1: they have good players. That the two safeties, I think

819
00:43:08,400 --> 00:43:10,080
Speaker 1: are one of the best tandems in the league, and

820
00:43:10,160 --> 00:43:13,120
Speaker 1: Bayard and Hooker Um and they play with really good

821
00:43:13,160 --> 00:43:15,399
Speaker 1: and it starts with technique and fundamentals and they play

822
00:43:15,440 --> 00:43:18,560
Speaker 1: with their hands, they get off blocks, they have good

823
00:43:18,640 --> 00:43:21,640
Speaker 1: force patterns, Um and they're good tacklers. Are Like one

824
00:43:21,680 --> 00:43:23,880
Speaker 1: of the best tackling teams, if not the best tackling

825
00:43:23,920 --> 00:43:28,280
Speaker 1: team statistic wise, in the League. So it's a big challenge.

826
00:43:28,360 --> 00:43:31,399
Speaker 1: That's a physical team, whether it's in the kicking game,

827
00:43:32,040 --> 00:43:34,520
Speaker 1: you know, running the football and stopping the run. Those

828
00:43:34,560 --> 00:43:36,960
Speaker 1: are some things they've really done well and excelled at

829
00:43:37,040 --> 00:43:40,280
Speaker 1: since coach Rabel has been there. You mentioned Kevin Byard,

830
00:43:40,640 --> 00:43:43,359
Speaker 1: first team all pro last year. He had five interceptions.

831
00:43:43,840 --> 00:43:46,719
Speaker 1: Since two thousand seventeen he's third in the NFL, and

832
00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:49,719
Speaker 1: takeaways he's got twenty six of them. So he's got

833
00:43:49,800 --> 00:43:52,200
Speaker 1: a knack for the football. Do they move him around

834
00:43:52,239 --> 00:43:55,880
Speaker 1: a lot, coach, or is it more just his instincts

835
00:43:55,960 --> 00:43:57,879
Speaker 1: that lead him to where he needs to be? Yeah,

836
00:43:58,120 --> 00:44:01,400
Speaker 1: really an instinctive player. Does a great job with the disguise,

837
00:44:01,520 --> 00:44:04,480
Speaker 1: reads the quarterback well, does a great job when he

838
00:44:04,560 --> 00:44:08,120
Speaker 1: comes into to make tackles and when other guys are tackling,

839
00:44:08,200 --> 00:44:09,880
Speaker 1: does a great job of getting the ball out. Just

840
00:44:10,719 --> 00:44:14,920
Speaker 1: just a very headsy, smart football player. Coach. One of

841
00:44:14,960 --> 00:44:18,280
Speaker 1: the areas that the giants have really struggled in. Obviously

842
00:44:18,360 --> 00:44:20,640
Speaker 1: it's not on your resume because you weren't here, but

843
00:44:20,760 --> 00:44:22,680
Speaker 1: red zone has been a big problem for this team

844
00:44:22,760 --> 00:44:25,680
Speaker 1: scoring points. Um as you've been able to work through

845
00:44:26,040 --> 00:44:28,480
Speaker 1: some things and and get some of your pieces back

846
00:44:28,560 --> 00:44:31,200
Speaker 1: on the field. What are some of the keys to

847
00:44:31,400 --> 00:44:35,600
Speaker 1: being more proficient in the Red Zone? Well, it starts

848
00:44:35,640 --> 00:44:37,800
Speaker 1: with getting the play call in quick to the quarterback

849
00:44:38,840 --> 00:44:40,920
Speaker 1: so he can have enough time to evaluate what he

850
00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:44,719
Speaker 1: needs to evaluate. And then, you know you've got to

851
00:44:44,719 --> 00:44:47,800
Speaker 1: be very, very detailed down there. There's there's shorter space,

852
00:44:48,560 --> 00:44:52,040
Speaker 1: there's less room to operate, the windows are very tight.

853
00:44:52,680 --> 00:44:55,400
Speaker 1: You have to make some contested catches. You know the

854
00:44:55,520 --> 00:44:58,320
Speaker 1: force patterns are there quicker in the running game. So

855
00:44:58,520 --> 00:45:01,279
Speaker 1: it's a it's a challenge um down there in the

856
00:45:01,360 --> 00:45:04,520
Speaker 1: red zone and this is another area where I'd say

857
00:45:04,560 --> 00:45:09,440
Speaker 1: Tennessee really excels on both sides of the ball. Daniel

858
00:45:09,520 --> 00:45:12,799
Speaker 1: Jones obviously UH picking up this new system, getting an

859
00:45:12,840 --> 00:45:15,719
Speaker 1: opportunity to work with all these new pieces and and

860
00:45:15,960 --> 00:45:18,879
Speaker 1: and new coaching. Just talk about the way he sort

861
00:45:18,920 --> 00:45:20,840
Speaker 1: of picked things up and when you talk about that

862
00:45:20,960 --> 00:45:24,800
Speaker 1: decision making, how you've seen progression in his game. I

863
00:45:24,880 --> 00:45:27,480
Speaker 1: think he's improved since since we got here in the spring.

864
00:45:28,640 --> 00:45:31,719
Speaker 1: I think he's done a good job and practices and

865
00:45:31,960 --> 00:45:33,840
Speaker 1: he's done a good job when he's had the opportunity

866
00:45:33,880 --> 00:45:35,920
Speaker 1: to play in these preseason games. Now we have, you know,

867
00:45:36,080 --> 00:45:40,000
Speaker 1: full games here to play against really tough opponents and

868
00:45:40,719 --> 00:45:42,279
Speaker 1: you know, we'll see when we get out there. You

869
00:45:42,320 --> 00:45:44,759
Speaker 1: know how things work. We're always trying to evolve and

870
00:45:44,840 --> 00:45:47,040
Speaker 1: do what we think is best for our quarterback and

871
00:45:47,560 --> 00:45:50,279
Speaker 1: then mixing the skill players that we have and the

872
00:45:50,360 --> 00:45:52,640
Speaker 1: type of runnings we use for the offensive line. So

873
00:45:53,280 --> 00:45:55,839
Speaker 1: you know, we've worked really hard in the training camp

874
00:45:56,040 --> 00:45:58,600
Speaker 1: in these preseason games to kind of figure out what

875
00:45:58,760 --> 00:46:01,840
Speaker 1: we do best and I'm sure that will continue throughout

876
00:46:01,920 --> 00:46:04,280
Speaker 1: the first few weeks of the season, you know, figuring

877
00:46:04,320 --> 00:46:07,160
Speaker 1: out our football team, and Daniel is an important part

878
00:46:07,200 --> 00:46:10,239
Speaker 1: of that. Final question, coach. I mean there's been so

879
00:46:10,400 --> 00:46:12,840
Speaker 1: much planning, again with you and Joe Shane coming in

880
00:46:13,600 --> 00:46:17,800
Speaker 1: revamping the football side of operations. How excited are you

881
00:46:18,680 --> 00:46:21,400
Speaker 1: just to get this thing kicked off today and finally

882
00:46:22,320 --> 00:46:25,799
Speaker 1: kind of see all this hard work come to fruition? Yeah,

883
00:46:25,840 --> 00:46:29,480
Speaker 1: I'm very excited. I think everybody's excited. That's been part

884
00:46:29,520 --> 00:46:32,960
Speaker 1: of this last call it, six months. The training staff,

885
00:46:33,040 --> 00:46:37,600
Speaker 1: the strength staff, the nutritionists, the players, the scouts, Um.

886
00:46:37,719 --> 00:46:40,160
Speaker 1: You know, that's what we're all here for, is these games,

887
00:46:40,320 --> 00:46:42,080
Speaker 1: and it takes a lot of hard work and effort

888
00:46:42,239 --> 00:46:45,720
Speaker 1: to to get to this point and we've we've prepared

889
00:46:45,760 --> 00:46:48,520
Speaker 1: as hard as we can, we've practiced well and now

890
00:46:48,600 --> 00:46:50,600
Speaker 1: we have to go out there and play and coach

891
00:46:51,280 --> 00:46:53,719
Speaker 1: as good as we can. All right, coach, I know uh,

892
00:46:54,040 --> 00:46:56,239
Speaker 1: you're fired up to get out there. Best of luck

893
00:46:56,280 --> 00:46:59,000
Speaker 1: this afternoon and thank you so much for your time. Thanks, Bob.

894
00:46:59,520 --> 00:47:01,799
Speaker 1: That's John, I said, coach Brian David. We thank Bob

895
00:47:01,840 --> 00:47:03,640
Speaker 1: Papa for chatting with him. Thank you to Lance and

896
00:47:03,680 --> 00:47:05,960
Speaker 1: Paul with titans played by play Man Mike Keith, and

897
00:47:06,000 --> 00:47:08,280
Speaker 1: thank you to Kenny Golladay as well, who I hope

898
00:47:08,320 --> 00:47:11,440
Speaker 1: that interview kind of gives fans a little bit of

899
00:47:11,480 --> 00:47:14,440
Speaker 1: an insight into him. And you know, I know there's

900
00:47:14,480 --> 00:47:17,160
Speaker 1: a perception out there of Kenny and that's really, honestly,

901
00:47:17,160 --> 00:47:18,560
Speaker 1: the first time I've had a chance to really sit

902
00:47:18,600 --> 00:47:20,480
Speaker 1: down with him. Because of the pandemic last year and

903
00:47:20,880 --> 00:47:22,840
Speaker 1: and other things, we just haven't had a chance to

904
00:47:22,880 --> 00:47:27,200
Speaker 1: connect and I hope people got a different idea of him,

905
00:47:27,280 --> 00:47:29,080
Speaker 1: because I think there's an idea out there that he's

906
00:47:29,160 --> 00:47:32,080
Speaker 1: just like diva ish wide receiver and he doesn't really care,

907
00:47:32,640 --> 00:47:35,439
Speaker 1: and talking to him you do not get that sense

908
00:47:35,520 --> 00:47:37,560
Speaker 1: to me. I mean there's just the fact that he

909
00:47:37,600 --> 00:47:41,000
Speaker 1: went out of his way during that conversation to list

910
00:47:41,120 --> 00:47:42,719
Speaker 1: every player in his position group and he's like, Oh,

911
00:47:42,719 --> 00:47:44,960
Speaker 1: I can't forget David Sills. Can't forget David Sills, and

912
00:47:45,160 --> 00:47:46,879
Speaker 1: like it mattered to him. He cares about the team,

913
00:47:46,920 --> 00:47:48,440
Speaker 1: his teammates, he wants to win, he wants to have

914
00:47:48,520 --> 00:47:51,480
Speaker 1: a good year. He's a talented guy and and we'll see,
