1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,520 Speaker 1: You know, we're trying to you know, get a little spark, 2 00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:08,320 Speaker 1: trying to evaluate what we're doing and how we're functioning 3 00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:12,640 Speaker 1: as an offense, and you know, I wanted to give 4 00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:16,799 Speaker 1: him some time with Taylor and kind of Nate's progression 5 00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:20,360 Speaker 1: and kind of what we were doing, and UM, it 6 00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:22,360 Speaker 1: just felt like now was the time, and sitting at 7 00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:25,160 Speaker 1: that game, sitting where I was, UM made the decision 8 00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:28,240 Speaker 1: during the game and then you know, just was able 9 00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:35,000 Speaker 1: to think about it, evaluate it, you know, and and 10 00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:38,720 Speaker 1: move forward and make a decision to try to spark 11 00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:41,640 Speaker 1: the offense, to try to do something to to get 12 00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:44,560 Speaker 1: us going to score some points and to help us win. 13 00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:48,400 Speaker 1: That's Titans head coach Mike Vrabel from his press conference 14 00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:53,400 Speaker 1: on Wednesday, discussing the Titans quarterback change as Marcus Mariota 15 00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:56,480 Speaker 1: has been replaced in the starting lineup by Ryan Tannehill. 16 00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:01,200 Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill sang, it's a bittersweet moment for him. It's 17 00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:04,480 Speaker 1: a really tough situation. UM, like you said, really excited 18 00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:06,680 Speaker 1: for my opportunity and being able to go do what 19 00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:09,880 Speaker 1: I love to do, which is play football and compete. Um, 20 00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:11,640 Speaker 1: But at the same time, I have a lot of 21 00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:14,240 Speaker 1: feelings for for Marcus and what he's going through. So 22 00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:16,880 Speaker 1: I think it's my responsibility to this team is when 23 00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:19,160 Speaker 1: we're out on this field and we're practicing preparing, is 24 00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:24,000 Speaker 1: is to go out with energy, enthusiasm and and leave 25 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,240 Speaker 1: the guys around me. But at the same time, you know, 26 00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:29,160 Speaker 1: when I'm talking with Marcus and deal with Marcus, you know, 27 00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:32,200 Speaker 1: I have a ton of empathy for what he's going 28 00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:35,160 Speaker 1: through and I know it's not easy. So he's been 29 00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:39,760 Speaker 1: nothing but a professional through and through throughout this process. 30 00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:42,240 Speaker 1: Really really, uh just kind of speaks to the man 31 00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:44,840 Speaker 1: he is, how he's dealt with this. Obviously he's hurting, 32 00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:49,400 Speaker 1: but he's he's handled like a true pro, and um, 33 00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:58,360 Speaker 1: that says a lot about him. New Titans starting quarterback 34 00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:02,279 Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill along with Mike Rabel leading off this edition 35 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:05,720 Speaker 1: of the OTP, the Official Titans Podcast Mike Keith with 36 00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:09,919 Speaker 1: Amy Wells, Jim Wyatt and also coached Dave McGinnis. Here 37 00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:15,640 Speaker 1: kind of I don't exactly know what the word is 38 00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:20,000 Speaker 1: to begin with, certainly monumental day for this organization as 39 00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:22,919 Speaker 1: a quarterback that you drafted number two overall and has 40 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:26,240 Speaker 1: been your guy for the last five years removed from 41 00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:29,160 Speaker 1: the lineup and replaced by a guy that you traded 42 00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:31,960 Speaker 1: for in the off season, a former high number one 43 00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:34,920 Speaker 1: pick in his own right, Ryan Tannehill. I would have 44 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:40,120 Speaker 1: to say that everyone publicly handled the situation well. I agree. 45 00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:43,040 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, Ron Tannehill certainly, you know, shows 46 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,919 Speaker 1: some empathy for Marcus Mario and what he's going through. 47 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:48,120 Speaker 1: It's not an easy situation. He even said this on 48 00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:50,920 Speaker 1: Sunday in Denver when he replaced him in the starting lineup, 49 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,519 Speaker 1: and now that he's replacing him as a starter, it 50 00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:56,400 Speaker 1: is the kind of the turning of the page for 51 00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:59,480 Speaker 1: the time being, Marcus Mario goes into the background, a 52 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:02,079 Speaker 1: situation he's not used to being in. I expect him 53 00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,480 Speaker 1: to be a great teammate. I expect Ryan Tannehill to 54 00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:07,320 Speaker 1: kind of take the bull by the horns and move forward. 55 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:11,160 Speaker 1: And this is a business and it's not easy, but 56 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:14,680 Speaker 1: you have to make decisions that you think will spark 57 00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:20,080 Speaker 1: improve results. And that's what Mike Vrabel, John Robinson, Amy 58 00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:22,680 Speaker 1: Adam Strunk with some degree, I think when you make 59 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:24,720 Speaker 1: a big decision like this, you have to do it 60 00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:28,040 Speaker 1: with a team in mind. Can't worry about hurting somebody's feelings. 61 00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:30,200 Speaker 1: And now we'll see where the season goes from here. 62 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:32,560 Speaker 1: Coach mac, I want to ask you a couple of 63 00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:36,360 Speaker 1: questions about the mechanics of how this thing comes down. 64 00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:41,040 Speaker 1: People have said to me, why don't you announce this 65 00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:46,800 Speaker 1: on Monday? And NFL teams don't generally announce a significant 66 00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:50,119 Speaker 1: quarterback change on a Monday. Why do they not do that? Well, 67 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:53,040 Speaker 1: first of all, you need time to discuss it with 68 00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:56,720 Speaker 1: all the relevant parties. This is not a knee jerk reaction. 69 00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:00,280 Speaker 1: You don't not make a decision like this for your 70 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:03,120 Speaker 1: football team in a vacuum. You just don't do it. 71 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:07,040 Speaker 1: And then you give yourself some time because normally you're 72 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:09,920 Speaker 1: doing it because something not good has happened, you know, 73 00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:13,200 Speaker 1: before or in the most recent ball game. You take 74 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:16,200 Speaker 1: the emotion completely out of it. You take the emotion 75 00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:19,279 Speaker 1: out of it, You bring all the relevant parties in, 76 00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:22,479 Speaker 1: you discuss it, you throw back and forth. You have 77 00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:26,440 Speaker 1: somebody played devil's advocate one way, You discuss it all around, 78 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,680 Speaker 1: and then you come to a consensus. And when you 79 00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:34,080 Speaker 1: do that, then you inform the parties that are involved 80 00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:37,880 Speaker 1: in this case, the two quarterbacks. They're the most important people. 81 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:41,239 Speaker 1: What you've all the relevant decision makers have made their decision, 82 00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:46,680 Speaker 1: and then you move on. The quarterback situation is obviously 83 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:51,279 Speaker 1: so huge towards game plan. They put this thing together, 84 00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:54,920 Speaker 1: one would guess on Monday night. They certainly told the 85 00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:57,840 Speaker 1: quarterbacks on Tuesday what was going to happen, and then 86 00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:01,000 Speaker 1: they informed the team and discuss it with the media 87 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:06,159 Speaker 1: on Wednesday. From a coach's standpoint, describe sort of what's 88 00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:10,320 Speaker 1: been going on from after Mike Vrabel's Monday press conference 89 00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:13,760 Speaker 1: until he met with the media today, roughly that forty 90 00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:16,839 Speaker 1: eight hour period. Well, Mike Vrabel and John Robinson, you know, 91 00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:19,160 Speaker 1: have Arthur Smith and the offensive staff. You know they 92 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:22,800 Speaker 1: they talk to them. You involve Amy Adam Strunk. I mean, 93 00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:25,720 Speaker 1: that's what's involved with the defensive coach. And you're saying 94 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:27,320 Speaker 1: this is big enough that you got to talk to 95 00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:29,480 Speaker 1: the owner. Absolutely, you talk to the owner about it. 96 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:31,719 Speaker 1: If you talk to the owner about about all these decisions, 97 00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:35,000 Speaker 1: because this is you know that these are important. I've 98 00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:37,400 Speaker 1: done this before. You you have to do that. That's 99 00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:39,320 Speaker 1: what you do. As it goes back to what I said, 100 00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:42,520 Speaker 1: you don't you don't operate like this just in a 101 00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:45,680 Speaker 1: space by yourself at all. But the defensive staff, they're 102 00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,000 Speaker 1: aware of what's going on. They're not involved in this decision. 103 00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:50,360 Speaker 1: You know, they're they're they're involved in their game planet 104 00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:52,880 Speaker 1: and continue to keep you know, their side of the ball, 105 00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:55,680 Speaker 1: you know, working with what's going on. And so the 106 00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:58,760 Speaker 1: coaches are involved only up to the point that they're 107 00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:00,760 Speaker 1: going to be involved in the decision. And once the 108 00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:03,120 Speaker 1: decision is made, they've got to go back to start 109 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:05,000 Speaker 1: to work because you've got a game plan to get 110 00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:08,560 Speaker 1: together all right now, the head coach, the general manager. 111 00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:10,440 Speaker 1: Then you know they're going to take it from there, 112 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:12,680 Speaker 1: and then you bring the players in. You bring the 113 00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:15,719 Speaker 1: players in, you talk to them, and then you move forward, 114 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:17,560 Speaker 1: because that's what you have to do. Everything is time 115 00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:20,279 Speaker 1: concentric in the National Football League, no matter whether you've 116 00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:22,799 Speaker 1: got a small decision to make or a big decision 117 00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:25,119 Speaker 1: to make after a ball game, the process of getting 118 00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:27,479 Speaker 1: ready for the next ball game, it's moving forward on 119 00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 1: the same time frame, and you're trying to keep there 120 00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:32,880 Speaker 1: from being a lot of discussion, a lot of everything 121 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:36,440 Speaker 1: going on around it other than just what the job is. 122 00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:39,320 Speaker 1: The job remains the same. Get the offense, ready for 123 00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:41,120 Speaker 1: the charger. Well, absolutely, and that's what you have to do. 124 00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:42,799 Speaker 1: And not on the offense. You got to get your defense. 125 00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:45,600 Speaker 1: You got to get your team ready, I mean. And 126 00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:47,640 Speaker 1: the thing, the thing that it all comes down to, 127 00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:50,880 Speaker 1: Mike and the thing that everybody appreciates and what makes 128 00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:53,719 Speaker 1: a decision. I've made hard decisions like this before as 129 00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:56,120 Speaker 1: a head coach. But the thing that overrides all of it. 130 00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:59,279 Speaker 1: As long as you're open and you're honest, you're open 131 00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:02,760 Speaker 1: and you're honest with all parties involved, well then some 132 00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:05,360 Speaker 1: people may not like it. Most people don't like it. 133 00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 1: I mean, I didn't like it when I had to 134 00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:09,760 Speaker 1: make those decisions. But you take the personal side out 135 00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,280 Speaker 1: of it. You you value, you will do, you value 136 00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:15,400 Speaker 1: and you treasure the relationships you have with your players. 137 00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:18,400 Speaker 1: But at the same time, when you when you get 138 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:20,400 Speaker 1: a head coaching job in this league, you have to 139 00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:23,560 Speaker 1: make hard decisions. You have to make hard decisions, and 140 00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:26,040 Speaker 1: you've got to take emotions out of it. And that's 141 00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:29,640 Speaker 1: just the way it is. The circle widens once people 142 00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:34,760 Speaker 1: start to know, particularly on Tuesday. The story, however, did 143 00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:38,520 Speaker 1: not get out until Ian Rappaport reported Tuesday night roughly 144 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:42,640 Speaker 1: eight o'clock or so, Amy Wells, were you surprised it 145 00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:45,120 Speaker 1: took that long to get out that Tannehill was taking 146 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:48,640 Speaker 1: over from Mariota? You know, not really. I think that 147 00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:51,640 Speaker 1: that was going to be something that, out of respect 148 00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:54,800 Speaker 1: for Marcus especially, people were going to try and keep 149 00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:56,840 Speaker 1: kind of close to the vest I think that our 150 00:07:56,880 --> 00:08:00,280 Speaker 1: coaches wanted to be very aware of who they were 151 00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:04,800 Speaker 1: telling and how they addressed it. I'm not surprised that 152 00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:08,239 Speaker 1: it came out on Tuesday night before the actual press 153 00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:11,720 Speaker 1: conference happened. That just is kind of how news works 154 00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:14,200 Speaker 1: in the NFL these days. But I really think that 155 00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:16,240 Speaker 1: there were a lot of people who were privy to 156 00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:19,320 Speaker 1: the situation who wanted to handle it delicately, because you 157 00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:22,520 Speaker 1: are talking about someone who has been invested in this 158 00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:24,800 Speaker 1: team and has been a huge part of this franchise 159 00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:27,160 Speaker 1: for the last four or five years, you know. So 160 00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:30,120 Speaker 1: it's definitely something that I think people were trying to 161 00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:33,320 Speaker 1: be delicate and respectful about. But no, I'm not surprised 162 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:36,360 Speaker 1: that it was leaked at all. But I'm saying, are 163 00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:39,000 Speaker 1: you surprised that it lasted as long as it did? 164 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:41,920 Speaker 1: I figured it would get out Tuesday afternoon Oh no, 165 00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:44,559 Speaker 1: I'm not really surprised, Jim. I'll have to say I 166 00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:48,760 Speaker 1: am a little bit, just because I don't think anybody 167 00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:51,480 Speaker 1: from inside this building leaked the news. But I think 168 00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:54,840 Speaker 1: once you start to tell the players, then they tell 169 00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:58,240 Speaker 1: their agents, or if you notify some other of the 170 00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:01,160 Speaker 1: key leaders on this team, they tell their ages and 171 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:05,440 Speaker 1: that's when stuff you know leaks out. I mean, as 172 00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:08,760 Speaker 1: a former Beat guy who uh covered this team for 173 00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:10,679 Speaker 1: the Tennessee and for so many years, I can tell 174 00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:16,600 Speaker 1: you when a situation, when a story like this is unfolding. 175 00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:22,240 Speaker 1: I probably wouldn't have slept from the time Mike Rabel 176 00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:24,640 Speaker 1: said that on Monday, all the way, it wouldn't come 177 00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:27,840 Speaker 1: out because I would have tried so hard to get 178 00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:32,040 Speaker 1: the story. And I know that that other people are 179 00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:36,880 Speaker 1: doing the same thing now. The national guys have a 180 00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:40,439 Speaker 1: good pulse with these agents, and I think they give 181 00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:43,680 Speaker 1: them a heads up. I think I was surprised that, 182 00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:47,480 Speaker 1: you know, I usually expect to see Schefter in on 183 00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:49,000 Speaker 1: some of these things. I guess I was a little 184 00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:53,040 Speaker 1: surprised at Rapaport scoop Schefter to some degree. It was 185 00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:55,760 Speaker 1: a good get for him on the OTP. He takes 186 00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:58,400 Speaker 1: his phone in the shower. But and he gets a lot. 187 00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:00,200 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not trying to slay him. I say, 188 00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:03,000 Speaker 1: I'm surprise he got it. But I know when all 189 00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:05,959 Speaker 1: of the Marcus stuff at the end of last season 190 00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:09,599 Speaker 1: came out about his injury and not playing in the 191 00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:12,360 Speaker 1: game against the Colts, that came from ESPN, and I 192 00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:16,480 Speaker 1: kind of, you know, maybe connected the dots there, thinking 193 00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:19,920 Speaker 1: that maybe when something coming down the pike with Marcus 194 00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:22,360 Speaker 1: this time around, might go to ESPN as well, just 195 00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:24,520 Speaker 1: because of some of the behind the scenes stuff. But 196 00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:26,560 Speaker 1: it didn't happen. I mean, you know some of them. 197 00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:30,839 Speaker 1: Some of these stories happened coming from family. Like if 198 00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:32,920 Speaker 1: you had planned to have a bunch of family in 199 00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:35,480 Speaker 1: for this weekend and you find out you're not going 200 00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:38,439 Speaker 1: to play, you might call that family and say, listen, 201 00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:41,720 Speaker 1: you're you're not gonna need to hustle in, and then 202 00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:44,680 Speaker 1: a family member lets it out to somebody. You'd never 203 00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:47,000 Speaker 1: know where it can come from. Well, I've been through 204 00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:49,360 Speaker 1: these before. I mean, whether it was Locker and Hustle Back, 205 00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:54,240 Speaker 1: whether it's Young or Collins. I mean, and you I 206 00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:57,320 Speaker 1: was calling people, Uh, I'm not going to give away 207 00:10:57,400 --> 00:10:59,679 Speaker 1: sources or what stuff I did to try to get 208 00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:02,439 Speaker 1: story worries. But you've definitely got to think outside the box, 209 00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:05,400 Speaker 1: because again, I don't think it came from inside this building. 210 00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:09,400 Speaker 1: So you better start finding agents, you better start finding family, 211 00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:12,040 Speaker 1: you better start finding some other people who might have 212 00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:14,840 Speaker 1: some insight on it. And that's that's what happened. Do 213 00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:18,160 Speaker 1: you worry, Dave McGinnis in this day and time about 214 00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:23,160 Speaker 1: your players hearing it from somewhere other than or hearing 215 00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:26,439 Speaker 1: it from someone other than you, or do you just say, 216 00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:29,520 Speaker 1: in these times, we can't control it the way we want. 217 00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:31,920 Speaker 1: It's harder than it used to be. It really is. 218 00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:34,320 Speaker 1: I mean, the social media the way the way it 219 00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:37,080 Speaker 1: is now. And again, you know, the players probably had 220 00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:39,880 Speaker 1: a pretty good idea, you know, anyway of what's going 221 00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:41,719 Speaker 1: to go on, even if they're not privy to the 222 00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:44,480 Speaker 1: inside part of it. But the look the grape vine 223 00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:48,040 Speaker 1: in the locker room, you know that travels pretty fast too, 224 00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:50,559 Speaker 1: and so I'm I'm sure there's not a whole lot 225 00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:53,199 Speaker 1: of them that were just completely oblivious to what was 226 00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:55,880 Speaker 1: going on. It's harder on a Tuesday, too, just because 227 00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:58,280 Speaker 1: the team, you know, guy's coming here and get some 228 00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:01,040 Speaker 1: work done during the day off, but he was not 229 00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:03,880 Speaker 1: gonna be able to tell the entire team until today, 230 00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:07,680 Speaker 1: So you had a you know, ideally Mike Rabel makes decision, 231 00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:09,720 Speaker 1: tells the quarterbacks, he's able to immediately tell the team. Well, 232 00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:12,680 Speaker 1: the team didn't come together until this morning, so it's 233 00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:15,360 Speaker 1: unfortunate that a lot of those guys have to find 234 00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:19,319 Speaker 1: out from other than the coach's mouth. But that's that's 235 00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:21,040 Speaker 1: the way it goes. That's the world we live in now. 236 00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:23,079 Speaker 1: But again, I think that's why they kept it an 237 00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:26,480 Speaker 1: intentionally small circle because they didn't want the team to 238 00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:29,560 Speaker 1: find out from social media. They didn't want people talking 239 00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:32,280 Speaker 1: about it necessarily and having it be this big buzz 240 00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:35,040 Speaker 1: when everyone comes in on Wednesday morning before the head 241 00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:38,120 Speaker 1: coach has even had it a moment to say anything 242 00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:41,240 Speaker 1: to his team about it. So that's why I think 243 00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:43,480 Speaker 1: that they kept it as close to the vest as 244 00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:46,680 Speaker 1: they could to keep it from getting out. No surprise 245 00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:48,960 Speaker 1: that Mariota would do a good job as he did 246 00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:53,400 Speaker 1: in the locker room today, and also no surprise that 247 00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:56,960 Speaker 1: his teammates were not only supportive of him, but at 248 00:12:57,040 --> 00:13:00,320 Speaker 1: the same time saying Tannehill's the guy and we're ready 249 00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:05,959 Speaker 1: to go. Yeah, and any sad feelings or feeling sorry 250 00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:08,720 Speaker 1: for your buddy, I mean those go away when you 251 00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:11,080 Speaker 1: start winning games. And that's what this team needs to 252 00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:13,040 Speaker 1: do now. Behind Ryan Tannehill. You need to try to 253 00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:15,280 Speaker 1: figure out a way to win and put all this 254 00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:17,839 Speaker 1: stuff behind it, because right now people feel bad from Marcus. 255 00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:19,199 Speaker 1: I mean, he's a great guy. You can't help but 256 00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:21,920 Speaker 1: like him, and he carries himself with such a professional 257 00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:24,040 Speaker 1: you know, you can say what you want to about 258 00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:26,760 Speaker 1: his leadership or whether he's quiet. He leads by the 259 00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:30,520 Speaker 1: way he carries himself. So I think guys are genuinely, 260 00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:35,440 Speaker 1: genuinely feel sorry for him. But win a game on Sunday. 261 00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:38,520 Speaker 1: Win a game is Sunday after that. Win a game 262 00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:42,360 Speaker 1: and Sunday after that, and let's go. I mean things 263 00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:45,559 Speaker 1: are rolling and the feelings get left in the rear 264 00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:48,160 Speaker 1: view mirror. That's the hope for the Titans. The hope 265 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:51,120 Speaker 1: for Marcus Mariota is that maybe by hitting the pause 266 00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:55,760 Speaker 1: button and stopping and watching, it'll slow down for him 267 00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:58,439 Speaker 1: and he'll be able to sort of get back into 268 00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:00,560 Speaker 1: the groove that we've seen him at to have at 269 00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:03,439 Speaker 1: different points in this look anytime, anytime you have a 270 00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:09,800 Speaker 1: locker room demotion because of because of production, as long 271 00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:12,480 Speaker 1: as as the players know that this play this player. 272 00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:14,640 Speaker 1: I'm not even talking about Marcus, I'm talking about any 273 00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:17,040 Speaker 1: player has prepared and has worked, but they just are 274 00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:20,440 Speaker 1: not quite getting it done. That the respect factor for 275 00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:23,280 Speaker 1: those players does go down at all. I mean it doesn't. 276 00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:25,920 Speaker 1: It doesn't go It doesn't go down being demoted and 277 00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:29,840 Speaker 1: and if you're not performing up to expectations, it's part 278 00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:32,560 Speaker 1: of the business. Now. Once it gets once it gets 279 00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:35,120 Speaker 1: to the point as to where you feel like you're 280 00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:37,480 Speaker 1: beyond the point of no return, well then all of 281 00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:41,640 Speaker 1: a sudden, I mean, look, everybody's accountable in the National 282 00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:44,720 Speaker 1: Football League, coaches and players. You've heard me say this 283 00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:47,240 Speaker 1: one thousand times and I'll keep saying it every days 284 00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:51,160 Speaker 1: an interview. You're not guaranteed or given anything. I mean, look, 285 00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:54,080 Speaker 1: I promise you not just saying I worked as hard 286 00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:57,160 Speaker 1: as I could. I worked hours, twenty five hours a day. 287 00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:59,880 Speaker 1: I got fired, okay because I didn't win enough football games. 288 00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:02,600 Speaker 1: That's just the nature of the game that we're in. 289 00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:08,720 Speaker 1: Who is Ryan Tannehill as a quarterback, the guy who's 290 00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:11,680 Speaker 1: taking over the Tennessee Titans as the starter on Sunday. Well, 291 00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:13,680 Speaker 1: he's had eighty eight starts in the National Football League, 292 00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:16,280 Speaker 1: and he's got the requisite skills to do it, you know, 293 00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:18,560 Speaker 1: to play. I mean, and people talk about that he 294 00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:21,240 Speaker 1: hasn't been durable. Well, yes he has. He missed one 295 00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:23,360 Speaker 1: year because of an ACL, which we would all miss. 296 00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:26,400 Speaker 1: We'd all miss work with an ACL. Okay, but I 297 00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:28,800 Speaker 1: mean he can make he can make all the requisite throws. 298 00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:31,480 Speaker 1: He's still got his mobility, you know, even you know, 299 00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:34,560 Speaker 1: once the ACL has been has been has been repaired. 300 00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:36,800 Speaker 1: That's why he was brought in here. He's got the 301 00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:39,040 Speaker 1: requisite skills to do what they want to do within 302 00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:41,680 Speaker 1: the framework of this offense. And there will be some 303 00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:44,560 Speaker 1: things that he will like more about some of the 304 00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:46,640 Speaker 1: plays or some of the schemes or some of the 305 00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:49,560 Speaker 1: game plans that he will like, maybe more than what 306 00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:52,320 Speaker 1: Marcus liked. I mean, they will involve him immediately saying 307 00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:54,360 Speaker 1: what do you like? What do you like? What do 308 00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:56,680 Speaker 1: you feel comfortable with? But he's got the ability to 309 00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:59,720 Speaker 1: make the offense work, and the whole fans give him 310 00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:03,040 Speaker 1: a chance. I mean, he's too many people. He's the 311 00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:06,080 Speaker 1: guy that's taken Mariota's place, and for some reason that 312 00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:08,920 Speaker 1: makes him a bad guy. You know, the Marcus fans 313 00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:12,480 Speaker 1: out there seemed like they want to dismiss Ryan Tannehill 314 00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:14,360 Speaker 1: or they want to give up on the team because 315 00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:16,680 Speaker 1: Marcus is not the guy anymore. Ryan Tannehill is a 316 00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:20,360 Speaker 1: really good guy himself. It's a family guy. He's always 317 00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:24,600 Speaker 1: handled himself with professionalism, because teammates really liked him in 318 00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:26,680 Speaker 1: Miami when he came here, and his teammates really like 319 00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:30,120 Speaker 1: him here. So I think he is gonna step in. 320 00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:32,680 Speaker 1: I think he's gonna play well. You know, if his 321 00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:36,080 Speaker 1: struggles or has some missues, I hope people are not 322 00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:39,760 Speaker 1: quick to jump him, because you know, he deserves a 323 00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:42,480 Speaker 1: fair crick at this, just like Marcus Mariota did, and 324 00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:45,920 Speaker 1: for Tannehill too. The other part is now he gets 325 00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:50,200 Speaker 1: first team reps. Now he gets ready to do what 326 00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:52,960 Speaker 1: he's used to doing. He had never been a backup 327 00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:56,600 Speaker 1: in this league, had never prepared as a backup until 328 00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:59,520 Speaker 1: six weeks ago. And now he goes back to the 329 00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:02,680 Speaker 1: role with which he's more familiar, and you get a 330 00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:05,400 Speaker 1: chance to see him in an offense that he would 331 00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:08,840 Speaker 1: have worked on all week and they'll have the running 332 00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:12,199 Speaker 1: game as something that he really didn't have as an 333 00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:15,679 Speaker 1: accompanying feature in the fourth quarter at Denver Well. And 334 00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:18,240 Speaker 1: that's the thing that people need to remember. This offense 335 00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:21,199 Speaker 1: is still the offense that we've been excited about. You know, 336 00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:23,679 Speaker 1: this is still the offense that has Derrick Henry and 337 00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:26,119 Speaker 1: Delaney Walker and Corey Davis and A. J. Brown. We 338 00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:28,840 Speaker 1: still have all of these weapons around, and we have 339 00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:31,760 Speaker 1: a guy stepping up to quarterback who has done it before. 340 00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:35,680 Speaker 1: I mean, he's stepping into, as you said, the role 341 00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:38,120 Speaker 1: that he's more familiar with. He said in the press 342 00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:41,280 Speaker 1: conference today that having the experience of standing on the 343 00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:43,480 Speaker 1: sidelines was new because he had to prepare in a 344 00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:46,800 Speaker 1: different way. But he said the game really slowed down 345 00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:50,400 Speaker 1: for him being able to watch it from that different perspective. 346 00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:53,960 Speaker 1: So having him in a spot where his brain has 347 00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:56,720 Speaker 1: been kind of working overdriving. You know, we talk about 348 00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:58,879 Speaker 1: mental reps all the time. He's been taking a lot 349 00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:01,520 Speaker 1: of mental reps, especially on game days, just trying to 350 00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:04,760 Speaker 1: stay in the game and stay mentally engaged in it. 351 00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:07,879 Speaker 1: I think that that's something that Titans fans should be 352 00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:10,520 Speaker 1: excited about having someone who's experience who knows how to 353 00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:13,840 Speaker 1: run an offense and is running off an offense with 354 00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:16,960 Speaker 1: the offensive weapons that we have. What is his challenge 355 00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:21,120 Speaker 1: going to be against Gus Bradley's Chargers defense. Well, I mean, 356 00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:23,280 Speaker 1: don't get fooled by this defense by their lack of 357 00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:25,880 Speaker 1: numbers of sacks. When you stick on the tape they put, 358 00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:27,840 Speaker 1: they put a lot of pressure on the quarterback and 359 00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:29,639 Speaker 1: Gus has always been able to do that. He's been 360 00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:31,960 Speaker 1: able to do that basically with a four man rush 361 00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:35,280 Speaker 1: and then he'll bring he'll bring some safeties. But here's 362 00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:38,800 Speaker 1: the thing. Ryan tanney Hill has played a lot. He's 363 00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:41,320 Speaker 1: played a lot, but when you get back out there 364 00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:43,800 Speaker 1: and it's live and it's going full speed again, this 365 00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:45,600 Speaker 1: is I mean, I know he had the little bit 366 00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:47,919 Speaker 1: at Denver, but the Denver ball game, you know, at 367 00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:51,560 Speaker 1: that points basically in the fourth quarter, was somewhere different 368 00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:55,320 Speaker 1: than starting a football game. This defense, Gus Bradley, and 369 00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:59,400 Speaker 1: again we've had protection issues. Protection issues have been put 370 00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:02,520 Speaker 1: on tape. Protection issues have been put on tape, and 371 00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:06,960 Speaker 1: Gus Bradley will attack those protection issues until they fix them. 372 00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:12,040 Speaker 1: Titans better protect them because if if the offensive line 373 00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:15,200 Speaker 1: does not protect him, better than they have Marcus Marrot 374 00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:17,119 Speaker 1: at this point, he's gonna have the same issues that 375 00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:20,000 Speaker 1: we've seen from this offense so far. And he was 376 00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:22,399 Speaker 1: sacked again. You know, he didn't have the running game 377 00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:26,520 Speaker 1: on his side late night game, you know, against the Broncos, 378 00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:30,360 Speaker 1: but sacked four times in twenty minutes. So they've got 379 00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:33,240 Speaker 1: to do a better job of keeping him upright and 380 00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:35,399 Speaker 1: keeping him from getting hit so much that he's a 381 00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:37,879 Speaker 1: little bit skittish in the pocket. And they've got to 382 00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:40,080 Speaker 1: find the running game. People aren't going to let you 383 00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:41,639 Speaker 1: run the football. You're gonna have to prove that you 384 00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:43,639 Speaker 1: can pick it up and throw it because people have 385 00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:45,600 Speaker 1: are I mean, you can you can look at it 386 00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:48,320 Speaker 1: and see, I mean last week at Denver there were 387 00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:50,640 Speaker 1: nine people in the box and they're going to be 388 00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:52,880 Speaker 1: like that to start the football game. So you are 389 00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:54,600 Speaker 1: going to have to prove that you can pick it 390 00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:57,359 Speaker 1: up to throw it, all right, to back him off. 391 00:19:57,680 --> 00:19:59,719 Speaker 1: Because now what the book, the book's been laid down. 392 00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:02,159 Speaker 1: If you get this run game stopped, all right, well, 393 00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:04,040 Speaker 1: then you're you're gonna be able to pressure, you know, 394 00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:06,560 Speaker 1: a quarterback when you make them one dimensional, when they 395 00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:08,719 Speaker 1: when they have to throw it. So you've got to 396 00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:11,920 Speaker 1: still prove you gotta get separation, you gotta get protection, 397 00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:13,680 Speaker 1: and you got to prove that you can back them 398 00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:17,440 Speaker 1: off of you. Is there a receiver that can benefit 399 00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:21,600 Speaker 1: the most from Ryan Tannehill's emergence as the starting quarterback. Well, 400 00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:24,919 Speaker 1: I think I think clearly. I mean, his one of 401 00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:27,200 Speaker 1: his strengths, one of his strengths has always been he's 402 00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:29,840 Speaker 1: been a decent chain mover when he was a quarterback. 403 00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:31,919 Speaker 1: And so you know you got you got you got 404 00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:34,480 Speaker 1: Delanney Walker and Adam Humphries the slot option guys that 405 00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:37,520 Speaker 1: they are. And also, I mean we've got a big 406 00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:40,159 Speaker 1: combat catcher and there's going to be contested throws and 407 00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:43,320 Speaker 1: A J. Brown is is that And so I mean 408 00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:45,840 Speaker 1: I think they can all benefit from it, but they're 409 00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:48,639 Speaker 1: gonna have to benefit from the protection first. It really 410 00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:51,440 Speaker 1: doesn't matter if you don't get separation and you don't 411 00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:54,359 Speaker 1: get protection and it's not working hand in hand. That's 412 00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:56,879 Speaker 1: got to work first. I was thinking he was going 413 00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:59,840 Speaker 1: to say, Adam Humphries, Yeah, well he kind of did. 414 00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:02,720 Speaker 1: He kind of did. Huh, Yeah, Well, I mean he'll 415 00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:07,000 Speaker 1: be on the field. Do they play more three receivers 416 00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:09,400 Speaker 1: sets with him or do they stay with as much 417 00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:11,680 Speaker 1: too tight end? How do you how do you see 418 00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:14,440 Speaker 1: what fits him? Just I haven't been back there in 419 00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:16,600 Speaker 1: Arthur's office yet. I know I'm gonna go back there 420 00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:20,639 Speaker 1: and back there and sit and look at the board. 421 00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:24,359 Speaker 1: So I mean you just have to wait and see. Okay, 422 00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:26,720 Speaker 1: wait and see. But but but they can do all 423 00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:29,000 Speaker 1: of it. You're saying, he's got Look this team, this 424 00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:32,120 Speaker 1: team is relatively a healthy football team. He's got all 425 00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:35,520 Speaker 1: everything at his disposal, Mike, you know, being serious with you, 426 00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:37,880 Speaker 1: he got everything at his disposal that he can do. 427 00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:40,600 Speaker 1: We'll see, We'll see what they think the matchups are 428 00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:43,439 Speaker 1: every week. The personnel that you put out there clearly 429 00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:45,199 Speaker 1: are something that you want to be favorable for you 430 00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:47,920 Speaker 1: against the defense you are playing in that week. We'll 431 00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:51,520 Speaker 1: see what this coaching staff thinks they're favorable personnel matchups are. 432 00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:54,320 Speaker 1: I want to ask you, speaking of healthy Jeffrey Simmons 433 00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:57,600 Speaker 1: on the practice field today, pretty remarkable. Uh. You know, 434 00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:01,240 Speaker 1: when he was drafted, along with a lot of other people, 435 00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:04,840 Speaker 1: wondered if we see him in two nineteen, and I 436 00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:08,639 Speaker 1: thought if we did, it would be in November or December. 437 00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:10,840 Speaker 1: So the fact that he's out there here heading into 438 00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:13,560 Speaker 1: week seven. Yes he's got a big knee brace on 439 00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:17,280 Speaker 1: his knee, and yes, it's going to take him a 440 00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:19,240 Speaker 1: while to kind of get his conditioning back and to 441 00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:21,800 Speaker 1: kind of get a field for playing again. But he 442 00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:24,119 Speaker 1: looks good to me, and from listening to him, it 443 00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:27,760 Speaker 1: sure sounds like he is confident in his ability to 444 00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:30,560 Speaker 1: go out there and play. Will he play on Sunday? 445 00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:32,760 Speaker 1: I guess kind of remains to be seen how this 446 00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:36,120 Speaker 1: practice week goes. But he's coming. I mean, he's playing soon. 447 00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:39,080 Speaker 1: Amy spent some time with him today for Titans Radio. 448 00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:41,639 Speaker 1: I did spend some time with him. He's so excited. 449 00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:44,520 Speaker 1: He is just so happy to be back on that field. 450 00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:48,080 Speaker 1: And he was so thankful, which kind of struck me 451 00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:52,520 Speaker 1: because people aren't generally thankful for tearing their aco, but 452 00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:57,280 Speaker 1: he was thankful that having that injury afforded him some 453 00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:00,960 Speaker 1: of the opportunities that he's had to get a lot 454 00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:04,600 Speaker 1: of extra work and build some relationships early and really 455 00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:08,080 Speaker 1: kind of come into his own before he's even gotten 456 00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:10,960 Speaker 1: on the field. So but man, he was just happy 457 00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:13,640 Speaker 1: to play football again. I asked him what the hardest 458 00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:17,120 Speaker 1: part of this whole kind of rehab journey has been 459 00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:20,159 Speaker 1: for him. And he said, I miss playing football like 460 00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:24,280 Speaker 1: it really was just he wanted to play ball, That's it. 461 00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:27,480 Speaker 1: And I respect that. It shocks me that he's coming 462 00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:30,760 Speaker 1: back this early. It really does. I mean, I'm I'm surprised. 463 00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:32,600 Speaker 1: I've been around this a long time and I mean, 464 00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:36,520 Speaker 1: but I mean, he's he's a different dude. I mean, 465 00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:39,960 Speaker 1: when we were sitting before the draft, Mike Keith watching tape, 466 00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:41,720 Speaker 1: you know say, this is a dude. I mean, it's 467 00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:44,480 Speaker 1: it's it's it's different and it's going to be I 468 00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:47,560 Speaker 1: mean it, it's It really really shocks me that he's 469 00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:50,080 Speaker 1: as far along as he is. And I know this, 470 00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:53,000 Speaker 1: once he gets back in step and gets back in tempo, 471 00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:55,800 Speaker 1: you're going to notice it. You will notice it. And 472 00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:57,639 Speaker 1: now you're not going to be able to sneak that 473 00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:00,840 Speaker 1: big unit on the field without noticing, I promise you. 474 00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:05,399 Speaker 1: And your contention is the reason you can't because he 475 00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:09,520 Speaker 1: does everything well. Yeah, I mean this, I mean that, Look, 476 00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:13,640 Speaker 1: there's only so many humans like that on the planet 477 00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:15,840 Speaker 1: that can play ball, that have what he that have 478 00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:19,320 Speaker 1: what he has. I mean, we've seen him before, I've 479 00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:22,720 Speaker 1: been around a lot of them, but they're they're they're special. 480 00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:26,360 Speaker 1: He can rush, he can beat double teams. I mean 481 00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:30,600 Speaker 1: he can. He can absolutely destroy the center guard triangle 482 00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:32,600 Speaker 1: if you wanted to do that. He's he's going to 483 00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:34,960 Speaker 1: be great to run games with. I can't wait to 484 00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:37,080 Speaker 1: see what they do with him once he gets well 485 00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:38,480 Speaker 1: and writes a lot of a lot of the things 486 00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:40,760 Speaker 1: things things we used to do with Haynesworth and with 487 00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:43,680 Speaker 1: Kyle Van den Bosch, where we would absolutely just destroy 488 00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:45,679 Speaker 1: an edge of a defense, you know, with all the 489 00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:47,800 Speaker 1: things that Jim Washburn would do with him. This guy 490 00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:50,000 Speaker 1: can do it all. You don't put him in there, 491 00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:52,480 Speaker 1: I mean, and you don't put him in there and say, well, 492 00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:54,840 Speaker 1: we can only do certain things with him. He can 493 00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:58,879 Speaker 1: do it all. And from the interior, that's really something 494 00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:01,320 Speaker 1: nice to have. And I tell the guy that's really 495 00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:05,719 Speaker 1: going to enjoy it is Casey, Because all of a sudden, 496 00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:09,000 Speaker 1: if this young if this young guy is healthy enough 497 00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:11,720 Speaker 1: as to where he can really unload, well, then now 498 00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:14,440 Speaker 1: they've got a decision to make protection wise, and they've 499 00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:16,960 Speaker 1: got a decision. All these double teams that Darrell Casey 500 00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:20,440 Speaker 1: has been living with for quite a while either they're 501 00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:22,720 Speaker 1: going to go away are they're going to pay for them? 502 00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:28,000 Speaker 1: Were you surprised that the Rams traded Marcus Peters to 503 00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:32,000 Speaker 1: Baltimore and then traded for Jalen Rams. The Rams haven't 504 00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:36,360 Speaker 1: been drafting anybody since Jeff Fisherwan. I mean, they've used 505 00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:39,320 Speaker 1: stand Cronky's money to spending by, you know, big money 506 00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:41,840 Speaker 1: free agents. And you know they don't value number one 507 00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:43,600 Speaker 1: draft picks. I don't know it's because they they don't 508 00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:46,240 Speaker 1: think they can make them or they don't, but it 509 00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:49,199 Speaker 1: didn't surprise me. They're just looking for a Thursday in 510 00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:52,920 Speaker 1: April off well, and the things to me is I mean, 511 00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:55,120 Speaker 1: and plus, guys, if you want to really get down 512 00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:57,240 Speaker 1: to what's going on, I mean, the Rams are desperate 513 00:25:57,320 --> 00:25:59,600 Speaker 1: right now. They've got a five billion dollars stadium that 514 00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:02,159 Speaker 1: they've got to field. They're three and three. They missed 515 00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:04,680 Speaker 1: their window last year when they got into the Super 516 00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:08,000 Speaker 1: Bowl and then completely got shut down. Bill Belichick gave 517 00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:10,440 Speaker 1: people a book on how to get that stuff stopped. 518 00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:14,000 Speaker 1: Everybody has been using it and now they're desperate. I mean, 519 00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:16,280 Speaker 1: and so they got one of the best corners in 520 00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:18,760 Speaker 1: the league. I'll give them that they got one of 521 00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:21,919 Speaker 1: the best corners in the league. Now, you know, draft 522 00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:25,439 Speaker 1: picks are only valuable, Mike, if you know what you're picking. 523 00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:29,600 Speaker 1: All right, let's just say that. How will Jalen Ramsey 524 00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:34,640 Speaker 1: fit in Los Angeles? Well, I don't know Jalen Ramsey personally. 525 00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:37,879 Speaker 1: I don't know, but he's a big person out. Yes, yeah, 526 00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:41,080 Speaker 1: well there'll be let me just say this, Okay, there'll 527 00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:45,040 Speaker 1: be plenty for him to do. What you think When 528 00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:47,119 Speaker 1: you saw that, Jim, I thought, I think it's perfect 529 00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:49,399 Speaker 1: for him. I mean, he's la kind of guy. Uh. 530 00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:52,720 Speaker 1: You know, I'm kind of going back and forth on Jalen. 531 00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:55,439 Speaker 1: I mean, I love Jalen through the drive process as 532 00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:57,760 Speaker 1: we kind of got to know him, and then when 533 00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:00,639 Speaker 1: he's playing for the Jaguars and kind of stirn some 534 00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:04,359 Speaker 1: things up, you I didn't appreciate him as much. And 535 00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:06,440 Speaker 1: now I'm kind of in some ways glad that I'll 536 00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:08,399 Speaker 1: be able to like him again because I think he's 537 00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:11,040 Speaker 1: got a funny personality and I think he's a good player, 538 00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:15,600 Speaker 1: and I think I think he's did exactly what he 539 00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:18,160 Speaker 1: wanted to do, and that's to get out of Jacksonville 540 00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:20,679 Speaker 1: and to get to a place like La, so I 541 00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:24,199 Speaker 1: think it's a perfect fit for him. I'm surprised that 542 00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:26,840 Speaker 1: that La gave up a couple of first round picks 543 00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:29,600 Speaker 1: for two number ones in four Yeah, I think he's 544 00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:33,160 Speaker 1: a pain. I'm glad he's gone. See you later, dude. 545 00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:36,080 Speaker 1: It kind of takes I mean with the Titans, Jacks 546 00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:39,280 Speaker 1: Robbery's kind of will lose a little bit with Jalen 547 00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:42,760 Speaker 1: Levin because he was good for starting up. Yeah, someone 548 00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:45,200 Speaker 1: else will step up. I mean what we don't need 549 00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:47,200 Speaker 1: is more stir it up, guys. I think we've got 550 00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:50,560 Speaker 1: another's Jack around right now. I mean, here's Jacksonville though. 551 00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:53,320 Speaker 1: Two number ones in each of the next two years. Yeah, 552 00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:56,919 Speaker 1: I'm not excited about that. I mean, Jacksonville has a 553 00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:00,720 Speaker 1: bad habit of taking whatever in my brain I want 554 00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:04,200 Speaker 1: the Titans to do and doing it two picks before 555 00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:07,360 Speaker 1: the Titans pick, like Josh Allen, Like Josh Allen, time 556 00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:11,120 Speaker 1: and time again. We'll be sitting at the draft and 557 00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:13,679 Speaker 1: I'm getting excited. My guys still on the board, my 558 00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:16,639 Speaker 1: guys still on the board, and every time goes to 559 00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:19,760 Speaker 1: the Jags. I'm tired of it, and I bet it's 560 00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:24,480 Speaker 1: going to happen for the next two years. So there's 561 00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:26,800 Speaker 1: a lot that I mean, I think they for them 562 00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:31,000 Speaker 1: and for the situation they were in with Ramsey and 563 00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:34,520 Speaker 1: how he had made it obvious. He just wasn't gonna 564 00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:38,160 Speaker 1: he just was not going to reconnect or re engage 565 00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:40,959 Speaker 1: with them. I don't think they any choice. And they 566 00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:44,440 Speaker 1: made a good deal for a bad situation. They made 567 00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:46,600 Speaker 1: a great deal. He wasn't going to reconnect with Tom Coughlin. 568 00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:48,440 Speaker 1: Let's just get it out there. I mean, that's that's 569 00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:51,360 Speaker 1: that's the issue, all right, That's that's the issue they had. 570 00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:54,400 Speaker 1: And the owner tried to reconcile it. He tried to 571 00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:56,480 Speaker 1: reconcile it, but he you know, he was he was 572 00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:58,440 Speaker 1: like a divorce lawyer. He finally said, you know what, 573 00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:00,600 Speaker 1: y'all can't do it. You know you you can't do it. 574 00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:03,840 Speaker 1: But he did. He did hold his water. The owner 575 00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:07,480 Speaker 1: did long enough as to where he found a desperate team, okay, 576 00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:09,600 Speaker 1: because he knew what he wanted to get out of it. 577 00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:12,840 Speaker 1: Because Jalen Ramsey's a really good football player. He's really 578 00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:15,120 Speaker 1: good and corners that can do that in the National 579 00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:18,720 Speaker 1: Football League are valuable. Now, you know, if it's a 580 00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:21,000 Speaker 1: piece that might put you somewhere, but he wanted to 581 00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:24,400 Speaker 1: get a return on his investment, and he played his 582 00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:27,320 Speaker 1: cards right. I give I give I give Khan a lot, 583 00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:29,600 Speaker 1: a lot of credit for what he did because he 584 00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:34,200 Speaker 1: held his water pretty tight in an untenable situation, and 585 00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:36,600 Speaker 1: when he knew that the divorce was imminent, he held 586 00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:39,800 Speaker 1: it until he found a desperate trade partner. And I 587 00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:41,920 Speaker 1: think they I think they did a t I think 588 00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:45,520 Speaker 1: all of the pluses on this trade went to the Jacksonville. 589 00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:48,320 Speaker 1: I really do think it is incredible that they were 590 00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:51,280 Speaker 1: able to find someone who would pay that much for 591 00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:55,840 Speaker 1: Ramsey after all of the recent shenanigans that he has pulled, 592 00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:59,160 Speaker 1: the calling in sick for practice which I've never heard 593 00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:03,280 Speaker 1: of in my life, or the mythical back injury that 594 00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:05,920 Speaker 1: just came out of nowhere, and we don't really know 595 00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:09,400 Speaker 1: what is going on with that, with him publicly saying 596 00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:11,400 Speaker 1: time and time and time again, I hate it here. 597 00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:14,400 Speaker 1: I don't want to be here, Like it would take 598 00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:17,920 Speaker 1: a lot of perhaps desperation, as coach Mack has said, 599 00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:20,200 Speaker 1: to want to get in bed with a player like that. 600 00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:22,760 Speaker 1: You know, you always think you can fix him right 601 00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:26,040 Speaker 1: when you when you're a coach or a GM or whomever. 602 00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:29,920 Speaker 1: There's always somebody out there who thinks they can fix. 603 00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:33,360 Speaker 1: You can never fix them. Yeah, writers thought they could 604 00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:36,520 Speaker 1: fix Antonio Brownly saw how that worked out so well. 605 00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:38,520 Speaker 1: I mean the Raiders have fixed a lot of guys 606 00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:41,280 Speaker 1: over the years. I mean you have to give them credit. Look, 607 00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:44,360 Speaker 1: Jenny Ramsey's a player, a big time play. Plus their 608 00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:49,280 Speaker 1: their cornerback situation in LA was desperate, and now that 609 00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:51,680 Speaker 1: their offense is not gin in thirty five and forty 610 00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:53,880 Speaker 1: points a game, they need their defense to be able 611 00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:56,320 Speaker 1: to step up. They haven't been playing great defense either. 612 00:30:56,760 --> 00:30:59,680 Speaker 1: They needed that and Wade needs that to play his scheme. 613 00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:02,240 Speaker 1: He needs guys that can lock up the corner so 614 00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:04,160 Speaker 1: he can do some things interior that he needs to 615 00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:06,560 Speaker 1: do well because he makes it ten on ten, he 616 00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:09,760 Speaker 1: absolutely does. And so he's got a guy. They got 617 00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:12,000 Speaker 1: a guy. And again, if they don't value the draft 618 00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:16,360 Speaker 1: capital now for it to work to the optimum level 619 00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:20,280 Speaker 1: for Jacksonville, they have to pick the right players, right fair. 620 00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:24,600 Speaker 1: I'm just saying that once Jalen gets unhappy for whatever 621 00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:27,360 Speaker 1: reason that makes him angry, I think his back at 622 00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:30,720 Speaker 1: injury is going to I think he's going to be 623 00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:32,800 Speaker 1: happy for a while because he's also going to get 624 00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:37,200 Speaker 1: a contract. That's true. That's the other thing that's coming. Well, 625 00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:40,040 Speaker 1: they've got some contract issues out there too that they've 626 00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:41,840 Speaker 1: got to decide. But you're right. I mean, if they 627 00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:43,640 Speaker 1: don't pay him though, if they want to keep him, 628 00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:45,200 Speaker 1: they're gonna have to give him a contract and they 629 00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:47,400 Speaker 1: and they will pay him.
