6
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:34,080
Speaker 1: Mike Eithan. This is indeed the OTP daily for January fourteenth,

7
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:37,280
Speaker 1: a Friday, a quiet day, a day that we talk

8
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:41,120
Speaker 1: about rest, and nobody needs it more than a guy

9
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:45,000
Speaker 1: like Julio Jones right now. Yes, Julio Jones is someone

10
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:47,800
Speaker 1: who all season we have been struggling with bumps and

11
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:50,880
Speaker 1: bruises and knicks and knacks and all these little things.

12
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:53,880
Speaker 1: So great for him to be able to have a

13
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:57,520
Speaker 1: couple of days to rest, to recover, to do whatever

14
00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:00,200
Speaker 1: he needs to do to get his body in tip

15
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 1: top shape. And I think the rest of us should

16
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:07,040
Speaker 1: rest as well. Quinn Torus Lopez Jones will be thirty

17
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:10,840
Speaker 1: three on February. The Eighthies battled hamstring injuries all year.

18
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:15,679
Speaker 1: Ten starts this season, thirty one catches, four thirty four

19
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 1: and one touchdown. None of that matters now, it's all

20
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 1: about the postseason for Julio Jones, and he makes that

21
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 1: clear in the chat that I had earlier this week.

22
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:37,959
Speaker 1: This is Julio Jones on the OTP dat Julio Jones,

23
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 1: how are you you're doing. I'm doing fantastic. It's nice

24
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 1: to have a week off and just sort of be

25
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 1: able to breathe right, absolutely recover, just you know, your

26
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 1: mind is not wondering and just take it all in.

27
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 1: It's a good time to relax. The weather's broke here

28
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 1: a little bit, you know, we had snow, rain, all

29
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 1: kind of crazy things that I'm not accustomed to, you know,

30
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 1: coming from a lane of things like that. But it's

31
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 1: just amazing just to have a break here. What does

32
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 1: a bye week mean to a veteran like you in

33
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:08,360
Speaker 1: terms of how you handle it from a physical and

34
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 1: a mental perspective. For me, like I said, don't let

35
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 1: my mind wander right and I'm not pressing at all,

36
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:16,800
Speaker 1: just resting up, doing all the things I need to do,

37
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 1: getting body work, things like that, and just being ready

38
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:21,799
Speaker 1: to go when it's time to go. Julio Jones has

39
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 1: worked so hard in this season battling back from that hamstring.

40
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:29,400
Speaker 1: You have fought and fought and fought to get back.

41
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 1: What's been the hardest part. The hardest part is just

42
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 1: not being able to be out there with your teammates,

43
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 1: with your brothers. You know they're going to battle, and

44
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 1: you want to go out there and battle with them,

45
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 1: and when you have to stand on the sideline or

46
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 1: watch from home. I think that's the most difficult thing

47
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:48,079
Speaker 1: for myself to endure, like watching them going out there

48
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:52,520
Speaker 1: battle and weeknd a week out and unfortunately I can't

49
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 1: be out there with them. I think that's the biggest

50
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 1: thing for me. It hurts. It hurts. I love the

51
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:59,520
Speaker 1: game of football. I wake up a little brief football

52
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 1: and that's why I really do it, because I love it.

53
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 1: You had a super game against Houston on Sunday, and

54
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 1: I thought one of the most special moments is when

55
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 1: you caught the touchdown pass at such a key moment

56
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 1: in the ball game. I could not get over the

57
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 1: way your teammates were excited for you, which said to me,

58
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 1: they know how hard you fought to get back to

59
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 1: this point. Absolutely, and that's why I like to go

60
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 1: out there and you know, leave it out all on

61
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 1: the field for my teammates. You know, it's a wars,

62
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 1: a battle, it's whatever you want to call it, whatever

63
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 1: you want to put on it. They got my back,

64
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 1: I got their back. You lean on me, I'm gonna

65
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:33,639
Speaker 1: lean on you. You know, a big model around He'll

66
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 1: just trust the guy next to you. Respect the guy

67
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 1: next to you, because that guy next to you gonna

68
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 1: respect you. This is my mentality and the way I

69
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 1: go about it. And those guys are very excited about,

70
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 1: you know, me getting in the end zone, getting in

71
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 1: the paint, and it was a good moment. This is

72
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 1: why you wanted to be here, this moment right now,

73
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 1: the playoffs, a chance to win a super Bowl. So

74
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 1: whatever's happened, that's now over right, absolutely twelve and five,

75
00:03:57,720 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 1: you know, all that stuff is out the window at

76
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 1: this point. You know, focus on one game, win one game,

77
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 1: have everything situated to go and take advantage of this

78
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 1: bye week. You know, everybody take advantage this bye week,

79
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 1: whether it's rest, recovery, you know, studying different things like that,

80
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 1: and just self evaluation. That's how I said. You know,

81
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 1: each player have their own self evaluation that they have

82
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:20,479
Speaker 1: to go through and endure. Nobody knows what someone else

83
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 1: has going on, and that's one of the things man,

84
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 1: just being a pro, but also having brothers to here

85
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:28,040
Speaker 1: to like, hey, if you need somebody to talk to,

86
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 1: a communicate with, and myself being seasoned being in these positions,

87
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 1: and I'd have been in these positions before. You know,

88
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 1: don't press. We're here for a reason. And no, you

89
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,040
Speaker 1: good enough. You don't need to be Superman, you don't

90
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 1: need to be nothing else. You're good enough. Those words

91
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 1: probably means so much because you know, I mean, you've

92
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 1: got the numbers, You've got all the numbers in the world.

93
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:49,920
Speaker 1: You don't need any more numbers. What this is about

94
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 1: is rings and how you handle these moments as a

95
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 1: football team in January. That's what gets you into February. Absolutely,

96
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:00,599
Speaker 1: teams you know, you win in the the games and

97
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 1: late now postseason, it's all about team snow individuals and

98
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 1: things like that. It's all about team. Who has the

99
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 1: best team in the postseason. And we have a we

100
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 1: have a health of a team here. So I'm looking

101
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:13,479
Speaker 1: forward to it and you know, going about it with

102
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 1: my guys with Sunday just a taste of what the

103
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 1: Titans passing game can be in the postseason with aj

104
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 1: Firk Sir Julio Jones, Westbrooke at Keena and the backs

105
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 1: on and on and on. Most definitely, I feel like,

106
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 1: you know, we just gotta keep working, you know. Like

107
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 1: I said, I don't. I don't even feel like, you know,

108
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 1: I played my best game on Sunday because myself scout

109
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 1: myself and say self, evaluate myself and hold myself as

110
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 1: a higher standard. But most definitely it is I feel

111
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:43,720
Speaker 1: like we have a lot of weapons here. Tannehill does

112
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 1: a great job, but usualizing us out there, you know,

113
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 1: it's just self evaluations for everybody right now. Like I said,

114
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 1: nobody needs to press We're all good enough and you

115
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:52,720
Speaker 1: gotta go out there and put it together. I gotta

116
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:55,600
Speaker 1: ask you this. For Titans fans, how close are you

117
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:58,600
Speaker 1: and Ryan Tannehill to hit one of those deep balls? Oh?

118
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 1: We close next time? No alms worried about how close

119
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 1: it's gonna be, Like wow, we want to you know

120
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 1: what I mean, It's no more close. All that stuff

121
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 1: is out the window. Can you describe how much fun

122
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 1: this is for me? It's just like just being a

123
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 1: kid man, just getting what you want, you know, being

124
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 1: a part of something. You know, like for Christmas, you

125
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:23,160
Speaker 1: ask your parents for this, for that, and they get

126
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 1: it for you. You know how excited you are. It's

127
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 1: like one of those moments, just being here with the Titans,

128
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 1: with my brother's coaching stuff, everything here. I mean, it's

129
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 1: following in place for myself. Just take full advantage of

130
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 1: the opportunities you know that that I have and you

131
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 1: know the team has moving forward. When you watch the

132
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:44,599
Speaker 1: games this weekend, if I'll have nothing else to do,

133
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 1: I probably watched the game. What else would you want

134
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:52,360
Speaker 1: where you watch something on like our video or when

135
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 1: you go to the movies or what were you Yeah,

136
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:56,839
Speaker 1: like I just you know, like like I said, you

137
00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 1: don't want your mind to be wondering so much. You know,

138
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:01,480
Speaker 1: you want to have that time and take full advantage

139
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:04,160
Speaker 1: of it. Just family things like that. Don't take those

140
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 1: things for granted too as well. Like you know, we're

141
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:09,159
Speaker 1: so locked in with football. But at the same time,

142
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 1: I know, you know, I want to not take full

143
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 1: adventage your football. But family is very important, you know,

144
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 1: each and every day. So when you have opportunity to

145
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 1: spend with family, you want to kind of hang out

146
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 1: and kick it and chill with family. Get your mind

147
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 1: out of football. But when it's time to go, it's

148
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 1: time to go. Because I'm not one of those players

149
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 1: to be like I'm halfway in or come over here.

150
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 1: I'm over there. Like when I'm it's time to go,

151
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 1: it's time to go. I'm locked our way in. Like

152
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 1: and my family knows that too. They give me, you know,

153
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:36,280
Speaker 1: the lead way. They're like, Okay, he's locked in. Everything

154
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 1: is good, his no emergencies things like that. Just let him,
