00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:30,440
Speaker 1: com to learn more. I'm Ammy Wells, joined by Titans

6
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:34,639
Speaker 1: Senior Editor Jim Wyatt, Free Agencies upon Us. Jim, how

7
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:37,040
Speaker 1: are you feeling, man? It's been a wild week.

8
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 2: It has been a busy week. I think doing the

9
00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:44,480
Speaker 2: quick math was at nine new arrivals one, two, three, four, five, six, seven,

10
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 2: eight re signings of our own guys yeah, one trade yeah,

11
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:56,400
Speaker 2: one guy released yep, and then three others have joined

12
00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 2: other teams in addition to the two that were released.

13
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean, it's been a doozy. If you

14
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:08,399
Speaker 1: have ESPN notifications, Tennessee Titans dot com notifications anything, I mean,

15
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:11,280
Speaker 1: if your phone beeps when the Titans do something. Your

16
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 1: phone has been blowing up all week long. It's been wild.

17
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:17,399
Speaker 1: So I figured that Jim, we should come in here

18
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:20,399
Speaker 1: and just kind of talk through all of this stuff,

19
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 1: like get everything in order. I've got just piles of

20
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:27,200
Speaker 1: paper that are absurd, So I figured we could kind

21
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:30,760
Speaker 1: of try and lay everything out, help everybody understand what's what,

22
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:35,039
Speaker 1: who goes where. Because free agency, I've always said, it's

23
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 1: kind of like Red Rover. Everybody just kind of runs

24
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:39,319
Speaker 1: at each other and all of a sudden they're on

25
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 1: different teams and maybe you break your arm. Like everyone

26
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:46,120
Speaker 1: just kind of mixes up and ends up in new places.

27
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 2: Yes, and it's so much activity, Like I haven't really

28
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 2: been with sit down too much to look at what's

29
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 2: happened across the league. Obviously I've seen the big ones,

30
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 2: but I need to sit down at some point once

31
00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:00,160
Speaker 2: things calm down from our perspective, and who and up

32
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 2: with the forty nine ers, who's with the Texas? I

33
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 2: know the forty nine ers lost half their team, it

34
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:08,240
Speaker 2: seems like what's happened in the division. And then of

35
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 2: course when the legal tampering pier, the no negotiating period

36
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 2: happened on Monday, Twitter decided to go down or X

37
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 2: whatever Elon Musk is calling it now, and so that

38
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:25,239
Speaker 2: made things even more complicated from a keeping up standpoint.

39
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:27,640
Speaker 2: But you know, and then of course some of these

40
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 2: deals get announced starting the week and then we're coming back,

41
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 2: you know, announcing them Thursday Friday, just because that's the

42
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 2: way league rules work. You can't really start scheduling visits

43
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:38,520
Speaker 2: till Wednesday. We take the approach that we want these

44
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 2: guys to come in, take physicals, sign contracts, and be

45
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 2: in the facility. And that's happening obviously, all nine of

46
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 2: these guys. I've seen them in the building, seeing their

47
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:51,239
Speaker 2: families in the building. I know they're just kind of

48
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 2: getting the lay of the land here and then now

49
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 2: moving forward as a Titan. So a lot of change

50
00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 2: certainly here, a lot of change across the league. It's

51
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:03,360
Speaker 2: a new day, and some tough decisions made on some

52
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:06,800
Speaker 2: of our own guys who people really have grown to like.

53
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 2: And but that's the kind of the way the business is.

54
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:13,239
Speaker 2: You know, you have to start over and we'll see

55
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 2: how this team comes together. The route is it's still early.

56
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:17,639
Speaker 2: What is this still just March the Well that's what

57
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 2: I was fourteenth. I mean, we're still six months away

58
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:22,960
Speaker 2: from playing a football game, and so this roster building

59
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 2: process is still in this infancy stage.

60
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 1: Absolutely, and it's important to acknowledge before we go on.

61
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 1: It is Friday, March fourteenth, as we are recording this

62
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 1: That is important because if you're listening to this and

63
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 1: it's say Saturday Sunday a week from now, and you're saying, well,

64
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 1: they didn't talk about blank or what about this thing

65
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 1: that hasn't happened yet in the future. That's why it's

66
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 1: not on here, because this is a very fluid situation,

67
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 1: boys and girls. This is changing all the time. So

68
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 1: we are giving you an update as it stands middle

69
00:03:56,640 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 1: of the day on March the fourteenth, which is a Friday,

70
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 1: So keep that in mind as you listen going forward.

71
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 1: But hopefully things are going to kind of settle down

72
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 1: a little bit and we can all catch our breath,

73
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 1: figure out what's going on, what this roster looks like

74
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 1: as it stands right now, and then where we can

75
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 1: go going forward. So a little bit of I guess housekeeping.

76
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:18,159
Speaker 1: That's kind of what it feels like when you do

77
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:20,840
Speaker 1: extended contracts. It's just kind of keeping some of your

78
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:22,479
Speaker 1: own just making sure they stick around.

79
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:25,720
Speaker 2: Right, That's right, that's exactly right. And that's happened to

80
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 2: guys who are exclusive free agents. That's happened to guys

81
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 2: who were just scheduled to be free agents under stricter

82
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 2: free agents guys that you keep, and most of these

83
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 2: guys are all these guys I think that we kept

84
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:38,040
Speaker 2: on our own are all one year guys, one year

85
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:38,839
Speaker 2: deals coming back.

86
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 1: Yeah. So safety Mike Brown, corner Daryl Baker, long snapper

87
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 1: Morgan Cox, and offensive lineman Andrew Rupsich all extended contracts

88
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:48,840
Speaker 1: with the Tennessee Titans. Did that surprise you at all? Jim?

89
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 2: It didn't. Did you missing Condre Coburn because he was

90
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,240
Speaker 2: order to process an order a couple of weeks ago? Yeah,

91
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:56,360
Speaker 2: so set it more. Yeah, I mean, none of those

92
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 2: really surprised me. And I know a couple of exclusive

93
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 2: free agents who have not been resigned. Jack Gibbons, he

94
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 2: came to Clinton. A lot of people to ask about Gibbons.

95
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 2: I feel like maybe he's not coming back, he'll move on.

96
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 2: But some of these players, like I thought Baker played

97
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 2: really well last year, if they think that was a

98
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 2: kind of a no brainer to get him back. Obviously,

99
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 2: with the with the fluid situation at linebacker, Kenneth Murray

100
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 2: traded Cody Barton brought in You're bringing in Otis Reese

101
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:24,600
Speaker 2: to give you more depth and compete with some other

102
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 2: young guys to play alongside Barton, and then you know

103
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 2: Brown's at a position safety where obviously some movement there too.

104
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:36,920
Speaker 2: Rub Gets promising guy who's versatile, can play a lot

105
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 2: of different positions. Coburn, same type deal, versatile. Coaches really

106
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 2: like him. Keep going down this list. I know Morgan

107
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 2: Cox amazing. He just keeps keep signing one year contract

108
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 2: and keeps playing. He's had an unbelievable career. Uh, Corey Levin,

109
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 2: this team needs somebody to play center right now and

110
00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 2: especially through the offseason. I think he'll compete again when

111
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 2: camp comes. And did you mention Sebastian Joseph Day.

112
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 1: I did not. He was next on my list, but

113
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:07,839
Speaker 1: I did find my piece of paper that was stuck

114
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 1: to the other piece of paper, So thank you for

115
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 1: keeping me in line, Jim Wyatt. Yeah, Sebastian Joseph Days

116
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:14,920
Speaker 1: interesting And I want to kind of put him in

117
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,839
Speaker 1: a separate cory him and Corey Levin because they've re

118
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 1: signed as opposed to contract extensions, and those are a

119
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 1: little bit different, right because they're getting brand new contracts

120
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 1: even though it is just for a year.

121
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:26,839
Speaker 2: Correct, that's correct? Yeah, and so and and the ones

122
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:28,839
Speaker 2: that are a little tricky is the exclusive rights ones

123
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 2: because they you know, their tender amounts placed on those guys,

124
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:34,359
Speaker 2: and what they what we've done with all those guys

125
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:36,480
Speaker 2: is pretty much tear up, don't even offer the tender,

126
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 2: just rework one year deals. Same with with you know,

127
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:42,480
Speaker 2: with with Levin and Joseph Day, they're just getting new

128
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:47,359
Speaker 2: contracts at at you know, different amounts. Obviously, both of

129
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:50,920
Speaker 2: them valuable in their own regard. Sebastian Joseph Day, I

130
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:53,800
Speaker 2: thought stepped in here and did a great job last season,

131
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 2: and I know he had some interest from other teams,

132
00:06:56,440 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 2: wanted to come back here. Productive here, good guy. I

133
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 2: think you fit in the locker room well. Teammates really

134
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:06,159
Speaker 2: liked the way he works. One of these guys who

135
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 2: who deals had dealt I think with adversity really well

136
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 2: and not letting negativity of a three and fourteen season

137
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 2: get to him or people around him. So that was

138
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 2: certainly a good move.

139
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 1: Also, just a very interesting fellow, not for nothing, but

140
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 1: here on a podcast. We love the interesting guy. He's

141
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 1: like a renaissance man. He kind of does everything, he

142
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 1: has his own podcast. Very interesting guy. And then a

143
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 1: guy like Corey Levin is someone who are fans obviously

144
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 1: are familiar with. He's been in and out of here

145
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 1: three thousand times. It feels like Corey Levin just cannot

146
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 1: stay away from us. And now he's got this one year.

147
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 2: Can Yeah, well I think it was a twenty seventeen

148
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 2: draft pick. Sure what crazy? And he played a stint here.

149
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 2: Then he bounced around obviously, went from the Patriots, went

150
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 2: to the Jets, went to the Bears. Stints there, back here.

151
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 1: He can't quit us.

152
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, He's pay played a lot of games. And again,

153
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 2: I think his versatility is what makes him attractive. He

154
00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 2: can play guard, he can play center. It just kind

155
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 2: of a tough, rugged guy who you know, some people

156
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:06,560
Speaker 2: might have might say he's an overachiever. He's a sixth

157
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 2: round draft pick out of Chattanooga and here we are

158
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty five. He's still in the league.

159
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 1: Solid career. Now, you mentioned when we started this that

160
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 1: there was a trade, and that's a little little spice

161
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 1: that everyone gets excited about. The trade was Kenneth Murray

162
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 1: traded to the Dallas Cowboys for a sixth round pick.

163
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:28,880
Speaker 1: So the Titans received the Cowboys sixth round pick number

164
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 1: one eighty eight in exchange. Dallas received Kenneth Murray and

165
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 1: the Titans seventh round pick number two thirty nine. So

166
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 1: were you surprised that there was any trades that happened.

167
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 2: Well, I think with Murray it was a situation where

168
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 2: you're either releasing him or you're trading him. And the

169
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:51,200
Speaker 2: Titans got in a situation where once they got Cody Barton,

170
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:54,320
Speaker 2: who is a three down linebacker from Denver, a little

171
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:56,960
Speaker 2: bit different from a style standpoint, just the way he plays,

172
00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:02,840
Speaker 2: but they like, you know, his sideline to sideline ability,

173
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 2: just his instincts he can call the defense, and uh,

174
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 2: with Murray, just I think the two of them together

175
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:12,679
Speaker 2: just was not gonna fit. And I think just from

176
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 2: a philosophical standpoint, just what you want to do with

177
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 2: that position once you got Barton, and I think you're

178
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 2: maybe trying to groom uh, some other guys to play

179
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 2: alongside of him, and we'll see who steps up. James Williams,

180
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:26,200
Speaker 2: Cedric Gray. We mentioned old series. I mean, there's several

181
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 2: candidates in there that compete and we could still succeee

182
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:32,319
Speaker 2: some additions there. But I think at that point, then okay,

183
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:34,080
Speaker 2: what do you do with Murray? And I think he

184
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 2: potentially had a contract situation coming up where he had

185
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 2: had a bonus up coming, and again he had a

186
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 2: pretty hefty salary, So you're either making a move to

187
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:46,080
Speaker 2: release him or you're trying to get something for him.

188
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 2: And the Titans were able to move up into the

189
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:51,080
Speaker 2: sixth round and swap that seventh round pick, get something

190
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 2: for him, and you may end up getting a better

191
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 2: player in the draft as a result of it.

192
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:58,720
Speaker 1: So for those keeping score at home, the Tennessee Titans

193
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 1: picks in the draft coming up late April April twenty

194
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:05,720
Speaker 1: fourth is when it starts twenty twenty five. Here are

195
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 1: the picks as it stands today again March fourteenth. They

196
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:12,439
Speaker 1: picked number one in the first round. They pick number

197
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 1: thirty five in the second round, pick one oh three

198
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:19,680
Speaker 1: in the fourth round, one twenty in the fourth round,

199
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 1: one forty one in the fifth round, one sixty seven

200
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:26,960
Speaker 1: in the fifth round, one seventy eight in the sixth,

201
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 1: and one eighty eight in the sixth. So a first

202
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 1: round pick, a second round pick, No. Third, two in

203
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 1: the fourth, two in the fifth, two in the sixth, No. Seventh.

204
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:40,480
Speaker 1: That is how it stands today. Jim, how do you

205
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 1: how similar do you think that looks to what's actually

206
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:44,959
Speaker 1: going to happen in late April.

207
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,720
Speaker 2: That's a great question because this teammate, Mike Bargonzi's made

208
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:49,719
Speaker 2: no secret of it, NI is Chad Brinker that they

209
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 2: want to accumulate as mini draft picks as possible, whether

210
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 2: that's in the first round, whatever round that's going to be.

211
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 2: That fourth round pick is a very valuable pick at

212
00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:59,439
Speaker 2: the very top of the fourth round, and people look

213
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:02,720
Speaker 2: at those picks, you know, the Tits are not first

214
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 2: in every round, just because of the tie breaking procedures.

215
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:07,719
Speaker 2: I know that's confusing to some people because they say,

216
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:10,200
Speaker 2: I thought we were picking. Put that list out or

217
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:12,679
Speaker 2: in the week, and people saw the Titans are picking

218
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 2: third in the second and thought, I thought the Titans

219
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:17,839
Speaker 2: were first in every round. That's not the way it works, Yes,

220
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 2: because of the tie breakers, and because a couple of

221
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:22,440
Speaker 2: other teams finished with a three and fourteen records you

222
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:25,319
Speaker 2: have to cycle through so here to share with all

223
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:28,320
Speaker 2: the other Yes, but the way it works out is

224
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:30,679
Speaker 2: you got the first pick on the first day, and

225
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:32,840
Speaker 2: then you got the first pick on day three in

226
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:36,720
Speaker 2: the fourth round, and so that's a valuable pick as well.

227
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:38,840
Speaker 2: So we'll see if you can either pick the best

228
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:41,200
Speaker 2: player that's available to start that round, or if you've

229
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:43,080
Speaker 2: got some teams wanting to get aggressive and move up,

230
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 2: you could accumulate picks that way. But a lot of

231
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:49,199
Speaker 2: time between now and the draft, a lot of conversations

232
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:53,080
Speaker 2: still to be had, a lot of teams still trying

233
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 2: to figure out how aggressive they want to get in

234
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 2: coming after potentially a quarterback. And I don't think sitting

235
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 2: sitting here now that Titans know exactly how things are

236
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 2: going to enfold unfold, you don't really get an idea

237
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:06,680
Speaker 2: of how desperate a team is or what a team's

238
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 2: willing to do until it gets closer to crunch time.

239
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:12,680
Speaker 2: So we'll see. I mean, that's what is that eight picks?

240
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 1: That is eight picks.

241
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 2: We'll see how that ends up in late April.

242
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:20,600
Speaker 1: It is interesting though, after you get through the first

243
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 1: seventy two ish hours of the first wave of free agency,

244
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:27,200
Speaker 1: so the start of the new league year, Happy new

245
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:31,920
Speaker 1: league year, by the way, into about Friday ish Friday Saturday.

246
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 1: Once the dust kind of settles after that first initial

247
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 1: crazy wave, you start to see an idea of how

248
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:43,440
Speaker 1: the scales have recalibrated and how picks in certain rounds

249
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:45,600
Speaker 1: all of the sudden feel like they have a lot

250
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 1: more kind of dollar amount or weight to them, whereas

251
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:52,680
Speaker 1: before everything's just kind of evened out, and it's kind of,

252
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:54,560
Speaker 1: you know, we want to have as many picks as

253
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 1: we can now certain rounds. To your point talking about

254
00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 1: that early in the fourth round pick and things that

255
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:02,760
Speaker 1: can happen on Day three, especially in this draft, with

256
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:07,080
Speaker 1: this class overall that's so heavily weighted towards like the

257
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,960
Speaker 1: middle part of that draft, right, I think it's going

258
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:12,960
Speaker 1: to be really interesting to watch how teams start to

259
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:16,520
Speaker 1: negotiate in some of the things we start hearing churning

260
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 1: just in social media and beyond. It's going to be

261
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:23,079
Speaker 1: really interesting to watch how things unfold as we get

262
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:23,920
Speaker 1: closer to April.

263
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, it really is. And then as a draft itself,

264
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:29,840
Speaker 2: you just never know where the run's coming, and you

265
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:31,559
Speaker 2: know whether whether there's gonna be the run on the

266
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:34,880
Speaker 2: d lineman and the running box and the and name

267
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:39,440
Speaker 2: the position, and that causes teams to to want to

268
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:41,680
Speaker 2: make moves to make sure they don't miss out on

269
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 2: a guy. So anything can happen once the draft gets going.

270
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:47,560
Speaker 1: Gosh, I can't wait. April twenty fourth is when the

271
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:50,719
Speaker 1: draft starts. That is a Thursday. There's gonna be all

272
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 1: kinds of stuff, by the way, so keep your eyes

273
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:55,480
Speaker 1: to Tendency Titans dot com. We've got all kinds of

274
00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:58,679
Speaker 1: stuff going on as it relates to the draft. It's

275
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:01,120
Speaker 1: gonna be a good time because thes as it stands

276
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:05,080
Speaker 1: right now on Friday, March fourteenth, are picking number one,

277
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:05,600
Speaker 1: which is.

278
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 2: Exciting, But you don't want to be picking one every

279
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:09,680
Speaker 2: year because you know you earn that number one pick

280
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:14,080
Speaker 2: by finishing three and fourteen. So I think best case sneers,

281
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:17,080
Speaker 2: you pick some you know, you do some good work

282
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:19,240
Speaker 2: to saft seed and you continue to approve you're not

283
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:24,000
Speaker 2: picking first every year, and but got to play well

284
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 2: on Sundays in the fall.

285
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:27,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then we all take a nap because it's

286

00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:25,680
Speaker 1: there are a lot of them, and I guess the

303
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:28,960
Speaker 1: place that we should start, Well, do you want me

304
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:30,800
Speaker 1: to just listen them to you? I'm going to list

305
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 1: them to you. We have tackle Dan Moore, guard, Kevin Zeitler,

306
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:39,400
Speaker 1: offensive lineman Blake Hants, linebacker Cody Barton, punter Johnny Hecker,

307
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:44,680
Speaker 1: safety Xavier Woods, outside linebacker Draymont Jones, wide receiver Van Jefferson,

308
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 1: and quarterback Brandon Allen Jim Wyatt. A lot of diversity

309
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:52,520
Speaker 1: on that list, a lot of different position groups being

310
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:54,600
Speaker 1: addressed in a pretty small amount of time for this

311
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:56,240
Speaker 1: Titan team, right, yes, and.

312
00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:58,640
Speaker 2: Now, obviously the biggest movement is offensive line. I mean,

313
00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:01,800
Speaker 2: you hadd and more, who's a left tackle, is going

314
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:04,760
Speaker 2: to play left tackle for this team, and his his

315
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:07,440
Speaker 2: addition means that JC Latham is going to bump to

316
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 2: the right side, which is I think his strength. He

317
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:14,560
Speaker 2: played left last year because that was the best option

318
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:16,920
Speaker 2: for him in the team, but I think I think

319
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 2: his best position in the league is going to be

320
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:20,720
Speaker 2: at right tackle, so that you kind of get two

321
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:26,120
Speaker 2: moves in one. And then obviously Zeitler a guard. He

322
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 2: played in the league for a long time, still playing

323
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:31,920
Speaker 2: at a really high level. Talking to him a buddy

324
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 2: of mine in Detroit this morning about that. So he's

325
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:39,840
Speaker 2: a great guy, certainly, hard working guy, good locker room guy,

326
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 2: you know, will be good for the young players in

327
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:46,760
Speaker 2: the room. Uh. And then and then Hans who has

328
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:49,000
Speaker 2: played in the league for a while. He can play guard,

329
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 2: he can play tackle. I think he's played every position

330
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:53,720
Speaker 2: on the line except for center, so you got a

331
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 2: lot of versatility there. We talked about leven, so that's

332
00:16:56,640 --> 00:17:00,160
Speaker 2: you know, a lot of movement at that position. But

333
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:04,840
Speaker 2: should be better. I mean, and certainly more. You know,

334
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:08,960
Speaker 2: maybe was not ranked as one of the top linemen

335
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:12,800
Speaker 2: in this free agency class, but certainly a quality player

336
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:15,160
Speaker 2: who has played a heck of a lot of snaps

337
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:18,800
Speaker 2: in this league still has the potential to get better.

338
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:23,000
Speaker 2: Having a coach like Bill Callahan will help him get better,

339
00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:26,480
Speaker 2: and I think he's excited about that. And I think

340
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:29,840
Speaker 2: the line should be a lot better in twenty twenty five.

341
00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:33,520
Speaker 1: A lot of guys with a lot of experience, and

342
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 1: a lot of really durable guys too. I mean, Dan

343
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 1: Moore sixty six out of sixty eight starts, I mean,

344
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:43,119
Speaker 1: that's incredible. Guys who've been in the league for a

345
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:47,879
Speaker 1: really long time and have been consistent players. Does that

346
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:50,440
Speaker 1: speak to what they're trying to do with this team,

347
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:55,240
Speaker 1: which is infuse some veteran leadership, infuse some durable, consistent,

348
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:59,040
Speaker 1: reliable players and what was last year a really young

349
00:17:59,160 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 1: offensive line.

350
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think so. I think across the board, I

351
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:04,240
Speaker 2: think that what stands out to me the most about

352
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:06,920
Speaker 2: this group so far as just how many games they've played,

353
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:09,480
Speaker 2: how durable they are, how you know, they say the

354
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:13,399
Speaker 2: best ability is availability, and all these guys have shown

355
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:16,239
Speaker 2: that they can stay on the field and play and

356
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:21,880
Speaker 2: battle through injuries and take care of themselves. And as

357
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:25,239
Speaker 2: we all know, this team's had a bad run of

358
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:27,639
Speaker 2: luck with the guys end up on injured reserve or

359
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:30,119
Speaker 2: heard or not able to play. And you hope the

360
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:32,800
Speaker 2: trend of these guys being able to play and be

361
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:37,560
Speaker 2: available continues here in Tennessee. But I think up front,

362
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 2: that's what they did. I think across the board, I

363
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:41,720
Speaker 2: think all these guys have that same quality.

364
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:45,320
Speaker 1: Some interesting additions on the defensive side of the ball

365
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:48,880
Speaker 1: to especially in that kind of linebacker and also outside

366
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:53,520
Speaker 1: linebacker spot. Were you surprised that there were that many

367
00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:56,480
Speaker 1: people brought in to be on the defensive side. Were

368
00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 1: you thinking there'd be more offense only?

369
00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:03,480
Speaker 2: Additions about plugging holes? And I know, again it's March

370
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:05,679
Speaker 2: the fourteenth, we're a long way away from playing. But

371
00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:09,560
Speaker 2: you look at you look at the depth chart, and

372
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:11,480
Speaker 2: you look what you have available, and there are certain

373
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:14,000
Speaker 2: positions where you just have to get guys and have

374
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:16,560
Speaker 2: to start filling some holes. Obviously, we still got a

375
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:19,320
Speaker 2: ways to go. You got the draft. I think one

376
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:21,320
Speaker 2: thing that we probably can't talk about enough is this

377
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:24,440
Speaker 2: team Number one in the waiver wire claim. So you're

378
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:29,080
Speaker 2: gonna be able to add players along the course of

379
00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:32,520
Speaker 2: the off season that way, especially when we get down

380
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:36,040
Speaker 2: to roster cuts. I mean a lot of things are

381
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:38,760
Speaker 2: going to play out and as far as competition goes,

382
00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 2: you know in OTA's and mini camp and training camp,

383
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:44,439
Speaker 2: but once roster cuts are made, you could see a

384
00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 2: number of players sign then and then you're just trying

385
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:50,800
Speaker 2: to upgrade the roster as much as possible. So I

386
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:54,480
Speaker 2: think now I don't look as much about how many

387
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:56,840
Speaker 2: guys on offense, how many guys on defense. I look

388
00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:59,960
Speaker 2: more at Okay, you need spots at certain positions. Still

389
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,160
Speaker 2: we'll look at positions where you need help. I mean

390
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 2: wide receiver, there's still incredibly thinned even with the additions

391
00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:11,760
Speaker 2: at Van Jefferson and and I think tight end, edge rusher,

392
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:16,439
Speaker 2: depth on the D line still a ways to go

393
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:19,680
Speaker 2: to and the big question novice at quarterback two still

394
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:22,400
Speaker 2: long ways to go here in the off season, Well, let's.

395
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:24,400
Speaker 1: Talk about Van Jefferson a little bit, because you brought

396
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:28,560
Speaker 1: him up. Exciting to see a local guy who we

397
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:31,600
Speaker 1: are familiar with because of his dad who was a

398
00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:34,120
Speaker 1: coach here. He was wide receiver's coach for the Tennessee

399
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:38,640
Speaker 1: Titans from twenty thirteen to twenty fifteen. Exciting to see

400
00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:42,080
Speaker 1: him kind of return. I don't know if he considers

401
00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:43,960
Speaker 1: at home because I mean, but he went to high

402
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:44,560
Speaker 1: school here, so.

403
00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:49,080
Speaker 2: I guess it counts right, yep, Yeah, and certainly his

404
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:51,919
Speaker 2: dad has a big personality. I remember Sean from his

405
00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:54,440
Speaker 2: days here, and I still remember seeing Sean at the

406
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:57,600
Speaker 2: Super Bowl in Los Angeles when he was watching his

407
00:20:57,680 --> 00:20:59,440
Speaker 2: son play. He was I saw him in the stands,

408
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:04,080
Speaker 2: and I think Van Van's wife had one of their

409
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:07,760
Speaker 2: children the day of the Super Bowl, if I'm not mistaken. Yes,

410
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:11,200
Speaker 2: But then when I saw him walking through the through

411
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:13,520
Speaker 2: the building this morning, the odds are pretty good he's

412
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:16,199
Speaker 2: gonna have a baby in the Super Bowl. I think

413
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:18,160
Speaker 2: that four or five kids, they look like they're all

414
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:23,960
Speaker 2: six and under, A good looking family. He's got so

415
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:26,800
Speaker 2: so uh so a great success story for him. I

416
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:29,640
Speaker 2: mean know he I still remember when he was coming

417
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:32,280
Speaker 2: up out of out of high school as a top

418
00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:35,760
Speaker 2: recruit and ended up going to I think did he

419
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:36,880
Speaker 2: start at Florida.

420
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:38,960
Speaker 1: And then went to Florida?

421
00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:43,440
Speaker 2: So so I had a good, good career drafted already

422
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:48,160
Speaker 2: in the draft. Uh, doesn't have huge numbers from last year.

423
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:51,000
Speaker 2: I think if you look at his career numbers, UH,

424
00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:55,280
Speaker 2: they're very similar to Nick Westbrook Kina except for the touchdowns.

425
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:58,600
Speaker 2: He'll get opportunities here. As things stand now, we don't

426
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:00,880
Speaker 2: know what else is coming to that position. But he's

427
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:03,320
Speaker 2: a little faster. He's not as maybe big and physical

428
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:06,240
Speaker 2: as Nick, but he's faster. And I think one thing

429
00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:08,560
Speaker 2: Mike Braganzi's talked about is just want to add a

430
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:11,480
Speaker 2: speed element to this roster, and that's what he brings.

431
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:14,600
Speaker 2: So it'd be fun to watch him, and it'd be

432
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:17,639
Speaker 2: fun to see if his halft and his dad checks

433
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:18,520
Speaker 2: in on him.

434
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:21,720
Speaker 1: It'll probably be a lot I would. I mean, why not,

435
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:24,520
Speaker 1: you know, it's so convenient. Well, let's talk about who

436
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:26,880
Speaker 1: will be getting the ball to him potentially, and that's

437
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:30,480
Speaker 1: quarterback Brandon Allen. Guy's got ten starts over the last

438
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:33,359
Speaker 1: nine seasons, has been in a couple different places, most

439
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:36,360
Speaker 1: recently with the forty nine ers. What is the role

440
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:38,280
Speaker 1: that you expect him to have on this team.

441
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:40,479
Speaker 2: I think that kind of remains to be seen. I mean,

442
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:45,440
Speaker 2: right now, look at him, and I mean we still

443
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:47,240
Speaker 2: are going to have to wait and see what happens

444
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 2: at quarterback, and I think certainly based on what this

445
00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:56,880
Speaker 2: team has done, now I understand why seems like everybody says, well,

446
00:22:56,880 --> 00:23:00,159
Speaker 2: the Titans are picking a quarterback at number one, And

447
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:04,359
Speaker 2: I think still it's too early to just make that

448
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:07,440
Speaker 2: a declaration and just write that in with a sharpie,

449
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:10,440
Speaker 2: because you still don't know what's going to happen through

450
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:12,680
Speaker 2: this process. As Titans are still doing their homework on

451
00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:14,680
Speaker 2: these guys are going to go to pro days, they're

452
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:17,400
Speaker 2: going to have private workouts, they've had them in the building,

453
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:19,879
Speaker 2: and they've got to make sure that this is a

454
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:22,359
Speaker 2: guy that they would trust with the first pick. And

455
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:26,120
Speaker 2: at the same time, you still don't know what other

456
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:29,080
Speaker 2: teams are going to do as far as an offer goes.

457
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:32,040
Speaker 2: You're not gona get a serious contract or a serious

458
00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:35,040
Speaker 2: trade offer until you get closer to the draft. So

459
00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:37,720
Speaker 2: if somebody blows the teams, blows the Titans out of

460
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:39,680
Speaker 2: the way, and they get an offer they can't pass up,

461
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:44,040
Speaker 2: then I think that's still the possibility to trade that pick.

462
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:48,000
Speaker 2: So right now you can't say for sure what's happened

463
00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:52,640
Speaker 2: at one, But let's say that that's where the Titans go.

464
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:56,480
Speaker 2: Then I think Brandon Allen and Will Levis are competing

465
00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:59,600
Speaker 2: for the number two spot on this team, and the

466
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:04,920
Speaker 2: winner ends up being the backup or and we'll see

467
00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:08,480
Speaker 2: how that goes. I know that Mason Rudolph was in

468
00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:12,960
Speaker 2: the mix. Uh, Brian Callahan talked about that with the combine.

469
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 2: Some people scoffed at it. It ended up being Mason

470
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:19,000
Speaker 2: was down to the Titans and the Steelers and ended

471
00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:21,240
Speaker 2: up going to Pittsburgh because he got a better deal

472
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:23,920
Speaker 2: there and I think he felt like it's a good

473
00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:26,960
Speaker 2: opportunity for him. So Brandon Allen ends up here somebody

474
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:34,119
Speaker 2: that Brian Callahan was with previously in Cincinnati, and you know,

475
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:37,840
Speaker 2: we'll see how that plays out. You know, Lewis talked

476
00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:40,560
Speaker 2: to him at the Super Bowl. Certainly know Mike Burgansi

477
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:42,399
Speaker 2: and Brian Callahan said they're gonna give him. I have

478
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:44,480
Speaker 2: very opportunity to win the job. I know he's working

479
00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:49,160
Speaker 2: this offseason with Jordan Palmer right in California. Jordan Palmer,

480
00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:51,359
Speaker 2: the quarterbacks coach, has worked with a lot of other guys,

481
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:54,320
Speaker 2: and we'll see what his mindset is coming back here.

482
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:56,160
Speaker 2: And I'm sure he's curious to see how all this

483
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:57,040
Speaker 2: is gonna play out.

484
00:24:57,200 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I know fans are I mean, the number

485
00:24:59,840 --> 00:25:02,320
Speaker 1: one thing I'm asked about still is the quarterback position.

486
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:04,240
Speaker 1: No matter what what we're going to do. Are we

487
00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:05,800
Speaker 1: going to bring someone in? Are we going to pick

488
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:07,840
Speaker 1: somebody is or someone already here? What are we going

489
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:10,280
Speaker 1: to do? But I think it's important to note that

490
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:12,720
Speaker 1: when Brian Callahan said he was going to do his

491
00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:15,919
Speaker 1: due diligence, this is exactly what he was talking about,

492
00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:20,920
Speaker 1: no stone unturned thing, the searching high and low, making

493
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:23,720
Speaker 1: sure that we evaluate every single option that we have.

494
00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:26,120
Speaker 1: This is what we're living in right now. They are

495
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:28,600
Speaker 1: doing exactly what they said they were going to do.

496
00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:32,199
Speaker 1: So let us live in that. Let's enjoy that. We

497
00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:36,520
Speaker 1: know that everyone is being thorough, really taking this seriously,

498
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:39,400
Speaker 1: really wanting to do what's best for the Titans going forward.

499
00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:43,760
Speaker 1: And this is going to play out well into training camp.

500
00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:46,439
Speaker 1: Like this is not going to be done at the

501
00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:48,560
Speaker 1: end of April or at the end of May or

502
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:51,360
Speaker 1: at the end of June. My friends, We're going all

503
00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:52,400
Speaker 1: the way through with this thing.

504
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:55,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, and we may not know the faces until you

505
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:57,639
Speaker 2: know who the real players are what the competition is

506
00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:01,600
Speaker 2: going to look like until then, because there's nobody's saying

507
00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:03,879
Speaker 2: thing to me about it. But I obviously aware that

508
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:07,560
Speaker 2: there may be some other guys available that are currently

509
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:11,000
Speaker 2: on other teams, whether that's via trade or wondering what

510
00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:13,520
Speaker 2: their status is going to be like, either before or

511
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:17,320
Speaker 2: after the draft. So a lot of movements still out

512
00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:19,600
Speaker 2: their position. There are a couple of free agent quarterbacks

513
00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:22,520
Speaker 2: who have not landed somewhere else. I don't necessarily think

514
00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:25,359
Speaker 2: they're coming here, you know, the Anon Rodgers of the world,

515
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:31,120
Speaker 2: or the or certainly others that are out there, Russell Wilson,

516
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:35,040
Speaker 2: but where they end up going will affect this team

517
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:37,719
Speaker 2: and impact other teams in this draft and what they

518
00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:41,399
Speaker 2: might be willing to do from a trade offer standpoint.

519
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:45,520
Speaker 2: So lot, lot still to be determined.

520
00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:48,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, So everybody just hang on, in the words of

521
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:51,879
Speaker 1: coach Mac, keep your powder dry, because we have a

522
00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:54,080
Speaker 1: long way to go, and I think everybody's losing their

523
00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:57,000
Speaker 1: marbles about this quarterback thing, and we don't need to

524
00:26:57,160 --> 00:27:00,199
Speaker 1: not yet. It's too early. It's only March fourteenth, long

525
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:00,600
Speaker 1: way to go.

526
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:00,880
Speaker 2: Guys.

527
00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:03,760
Speaker 1: Other positions we need to talk about. I want to

528
00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:06,359
Speaker 1: make sure we mentioned safety Xavier Woods because I mean

529
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:09,560
Speaker 1: he's an eight year veteran. He didn't miss a defensive

530
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:13,359
Speaker 1: snap in twenty twenty four. Another really durable addition to

531
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:16,720
Speaker 1: this team who already has a relationship with Jerry Sneed.

532
00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:19,000
Speaker 1: He feels like there might be some synergy there.

533
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:22,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, and again you mentioned as a durability just to

534
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:26,360
Speaker 2: available to play in Titans. Again, had some tough luck

535
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:30,880
Speaker 2: there bringing digs and he he had a tough, tough year.

536
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:35,240
Speaker 2: So Moni Hooker, you know, has had some years where

537
00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:37,440
Speaker 2: he's missed some games. So what you're looking forward is

538
00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:41,320
Speaker 2: guys who can step in and play. He's made some

539
00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:45,200
Speaker 2: plays in his career, been available, been a very productive player,

540
00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:48,479
Speaker 2: and I think the peering with him and Amani Hooker

541
00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:50,879
Speaker 2: for now as it looks like it's going to be

542
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:53,359
Speaker 2: pretty solid, and we talk about Mike Brown being in

543
00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:54,240
Speaker 2: that mix as well.

544
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:57,919
Speaker 1: Also want to acknowledge punter Johnny Hecker who is now

545
00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:00,919
Speaker 1: a part of this team. He he feels like a

546
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:03,679
Speaker 1: good fit for this team, maybe because of his relationship

547
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:07,399
Speaker 1: with new special teams coordinator.

548
00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:09,520
Speaker 2: Yes sim and John Fossil worked together for a long

549
00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:12,280
Speaker 2: time with the Rams and UH you know, I think

550
00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:15,399
Speaker 2: everybody was sad to see Ryan Stonehouse go such a

551
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:19,240
Speaker 2: popular great kid, worked his butt off when he had

552
00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:22,600
Speaker 2: his ACL injury. He's got an incredible leg. I mean,

553
00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:26,760
Speaker 2: it's crazy just how from a punter standpoint here we've

554
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:30,719
Speaker 2: had so many popular punters, and usually people don't like

555
00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:32,679
Speaker 2: punters because they've tired of seeing him come out on

556
00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:34,879
Speaker 2: the field. But Craig Hentrick was kind of like that

557
00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:37,960
Speaker 2: when the team first got here. Brett Kern very popular

558
00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:41,360
Speaker 2: guy with the fan base, and Ryan Stonehouse steps in

559
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:46,479
Speaker 2: and and you know, did everything right, And certainly there

560
00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:49,240
Speaker 2: were some parts of his game that he he knows

561
00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:50,840
Speaker 2: he has to work on when he talked about it

562
00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:54,120
Speaker 2: when last season ended, directional punting being one of them.

563
00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:58,000
Speaker 2: Sometime just being able to do a better job of

564
00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:01,480
Speaker 2: penning teams down closer to the goal line. Not all

565
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:04,080
Speaker 2: that's on him. I mean, obviously the net average went

566
00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:10,080
Speaker 2: down last year, but with the guy like Hecker, four year,

567
00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:16,080
Speaker 2: four time All Pro, four time Pro bowler, certainly has

568
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:21,120
Speaker 2: had an incredible career and has proven that he can

569
00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:24,480
Speaker 2: do all the things that maybe some of them at

570
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:28,840
Speaker 2: Ryan's Stonehouse is still working on. So he was a good.

571
00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:30,760
Speaker 2: I know it was tough to see Ryan Stonehouse go.

572
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:33,600
Speaker 2: But Johnny Hecker certainly puts the team in good hands

573
00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:37,320
Speaker 2: at that position. And he's a giant, He's about sixty

574
00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:41,320
Speaker 2: five six six. And I think what's gonna be interesting

575
00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:44,239
Speaker 2: to him is because you mentioned John Fossil, he just

576
00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:48,680
Speaker 2: has a reputation for being kind of a innovative risk

577
00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:51,120
Speaker 2: taker on special teams. We'll be curious to see whether

578
00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:55,040
Speaker 2: he dials some things up for Hecker where people are saying,

579
00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:56,760
Speaker 2: what the Hecker.

580
00:29:56,760 --> 00:30:01,240
Speaker 1: No, jem I knew that you were setting me up

581
00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:03,560
Speaker 1: for something there the way you were talking. There was

582
00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:04,920
Speaker 1: a twinkle in your eye.

583
00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:07,560
Speaker 2: I knew it. I knew it was coming.

584
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:14,440
Speaker 1: I knew there was something coming. Oh gosh, So let's

585
00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:17,200
Speaker 1: take this time to first pause for that joke.

586
00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:20,200
Speaker 2: But then also that was.

587
00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:24,680
Speaker 1: An epic dad joke. Hey Titans fans, with a Kroger

595
00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:56,320
Speaker 1: to the OTP, let's zoom out a little bit here,

596
00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:59,920
Speaker 1: So we are still getting to know this Titan's personal

597
00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:03,760
Speaker 1: staff a little bit, Mike Bergonzi and the crew. I mean,

598
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:07,480
Speaker 1: there's a lot of new changes down there. And as

599
00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:10,560
Speaker 1: we look at this first kind of wave of free

600
00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:13,400
Speaker 1: agency for the Tennessee Titans, do we feel like we

601
00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:17,200
Speaker 1: have a better understanding of what they're looking for in

602
00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:20,640
Speaker 1: terms of what a Titan is well, I.

603
00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:24,280
Speaker 2: Think certainly they're on the same page. And this has

604
00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:28,240
Speaker 2: been a long process in a short period of time

605
00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:30,160
Speaker 2: because a lot of these guys have been together for

606
00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:31,880
Speaker 2: a month, month and a half and they've spent so

607
00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:36,400
Speaker 2: much time together. They spent three weeks in the same

608
00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:39,480
Speaker 2: room leading up to the combine, and then so many

609
00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:43,400
Speaker 2: meetings talking about draft picks, free agency, what they're doing

610
00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:47,360
Speaker 2: with this current roster. I mean, I think, just again,

611
00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:50,280
Speaker 2: the theme I think of what they're looking for now

612
00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:53,280
Speaker 2: is just guys who can be durable and maybe be

613
00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:56,000
Speaker 2: versatile and can help you think they continue to look

614
00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:59,440
Speaker 2: for guys with speed. We'll say this. I mean it

615
00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:02,720
Speaker 2: has been very active from a free agency standpoint. Nine

616
00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:06,920
Speaker 2: guys signed during the first first week of free agency.

617
00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:08,440
Speaker 2: I don't think it's always going to be like that,

618
00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:11,080
Speaker 2: you know, in the years moving forward, I think what

619
00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:13,440
Speaker 2: you want to do to try to build this thing

620
00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:17,520
Speaker 2: the way you know that again, Mike Braganci and had

621
00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:19,320
Speaker 2: a Brinker described it as you're going to build it

622
00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:23,640
Speaker 2: through the draft. So now it's about plugging holes, looking

623
00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:26,880
Speaker 2: at the depth chart, looking at what you have serious

624
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:29,520
Speaker 2: needs for and trying to draft those. And now I

625
00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:32,160
Speaker 2: think as you go forward, you got a draft well,

626
00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:36,520
Speaker 2: and then you're again trying to re sign your own

627
00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:40,560
Speaker 2: guys and then making the tough decision of letting some

628
00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:43,440
Speaker 2: guys go. But I think in future years, I don't

629
00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:46,960
Speaker 2: think you're going to see this team being that aggressive

630
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:50,080
Speaker 2: and that involved in free agency. But right now they've

631
00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:54,160
Speaker 2: got no choice. I mean, a bad roster at the

632
00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:57,320
Speaker 2: start of this offseason and a lot of holes, and

633
00:32:57,400 --> 00:33:00,240
Speaker 2: you can't do everything to the draft, and you you

634
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:04,040
Speaker 2: certainly can't rebuild an offensive line counting in the draft.

635
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:06,560
Speaker 2: You need some veterans in the mix there.

636
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:09,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I think you're one hundred percent right. I

637
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:10,920
Speaker 1: think that this is a product of kind of where

638
00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:14,640
Speaker 1: this team is for a variety of different reasons. But

639
00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:18,000
Speaker 1: there's a bit of a foundation rebuild that's happening right now,

640
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:20,600
Speaker 1: and hopefully these guys that have been added to this

641
00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:22,640
Speaker 1: team are going to be a big part of that.

642
00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:26,200
Speaker 1: And so then after you get that set and established,

643
00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:28,880
Speaker 1: then you start to add on with the draft, and

644
00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:31,480
Speaker 1: then you go forward with the new philosophy. But you've

645
00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:33,400
Speaker 1: got to get plug the holes in the boat before

646
00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:34,520
Speaker 1: you can go anywhere.

647
00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:35,840
Speaker 2: Right, And again, a lot of these are one year

648
00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:38,080
Speaker 2: deals and not a lot of big money deals, Like

649
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:40,800
Speaker 2: you know, the Dan Moore deal obviously is a big contract,

650
00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:46,240
Speaker 2: but after that, all of them pretty modest contracts and

651
00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:50,840
Speaker 2: and you know what appear to be short term answers

652
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:55,040
Speaker 2: until you find long term solutions. And certainly some of

653
00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:57,480
Speaker 2: these guys could do enough this year, well they earn

654
00:33:57,560 --> 00:34:01,240
Speaker 2: themselves back, you know, on another and themselves another contract

655
00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:04,000
Speaker 2: now next off season. But right now it's just all

656
00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:07,440
Speaker 2: about trying to build the best you can and then

657
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:10,320
Speaker 2: again supplementing in the draft.

658
00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:14,440
Speaker 1: So what's next calendar wise? What do you have coming up, Jimmy, Well, we.

659
00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:19,640
Speaker 2: Got Pro Day's coming up. I know, Miami, I think

660
00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:21,080
Speaker 2: is a week from Monday.

661
00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:21,520
Speaker 1: YEP.

Speaker 2: Owners meeting is coming up at the end of that week.

663
00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:28,600
Speaker 2: Colorado's Pro Day is coming up. Penn State's Pro Day

664
00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:32,680
Speaker 2: is obviously coming up. Don't know for sure doing that one,

665
00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:36,200
Speaker 2: but anticipate going to a couple of those, and then

666
00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:44,760
Speaker 2: and made hotel reservation for Green Bay recently, so that'll

667
00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:48,480
Speaker 2: be a point of So off season program starts what

668
00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:52,120
Speaker 2: April the twenty second, the week the draft starts, so

669
00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:57,800
Speaker 2: a lot still on the horizon during what's been on

670
00:34:57,800 --> 00:34:59,839
Speaker 2: an already really busy off season. YEP.

671
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:02,680
Speaker 1: So if you're not reading Jim White stories in Tennessee

Speaker 2: That's right, that's right, Twitter, Instagram and uh and uh

681
00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:35,439
Speaker 2: I'm one. I'm also on threads with at J White

682
00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:38,839
Speaker 2: sports blue Sky. You ever heard of blue Sky? I'm

683
00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:40,600
Speaker 2: on blue Sky too?

Speaker 1: What are these things? Blue Sky?

687
00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:50,560
Speaker 2: Well, some people for one reason or another have boycotted

688
00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:54,120
Speaker 2: Twitter and uh and blue Sky is kind of the

689
00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:55,520
Speaker 2: alternative to Twitter.

690
00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:58,760
Speaker 1: Okay, So what is threads then? Because I thought threads

691
00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:00,320
Speaker 1: was like twittery.

692
00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:05,520
Speaker 2: Threads is like Twitter. It's it's more in the Instagram family.

693
00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:11,520
Speaker 2: Some of the stuff from Instagram Instagram gets gets created

694
00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:12,360
Speaker 2: by threads.

695
00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:15,400
Speaker 1: Also, are there illustrations.

696
00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:19,799
Speaker 2: Usually it's photos like you can set up your Instagram

697
00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:22,600
Speaker 2: where you can when you publish it out, it'll also

698
00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:25,280
Speaker 2: publish out to threads. But you can also post stories

699
00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:28,920
Speaker 2: to threads. And people are looking for different alternatives. And

700
00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:31,279
Speaker 2: I'm not going to boycott X. I think that's where

701
00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:33,719
Speaker 2: most people live. That's where I've got most of my followers.

702
00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:38,319
Speaker 2: But I do respect people's opinions who want to get

703
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:42,440
Speaker 2: away from X, and so I try to. I'm not

704
00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:44,759
Speaker 2: quite as active on Blue Sky, but I'll drop my

705
00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:48,799
Speaker 2: stories in there as well. Along with Facebook, Facebook has limitations,

706
00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:52,040
Speaker 2: although it's it's tough to stomach Facebook these days.

707
00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:54,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a lot going on there. Well, Facebook is

708
00:36:55,400 --> 00:36:58,160
Speaker 1: the only word you said that I know in the

709
00:36:58,239 --> 00:37:01,719
Speaker 1: last probably forty five seconds. So that tells you how

710
00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:05,920
Speaker 1: old I am. Jim Well good, so you can get

711
00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:09,560

712
00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:14,960
Speaker 1: want at No dancing, no dancing, no, Well, there you go.

713
00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:18,600
Speaker 1: Maybe that's for the best for Jim Wyatt. I'm Amy

714
00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:21,120
Speaker 1: Wells and this has been the o TP
