Six 35 00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:32,560 Speaker 1: hundred thousand attended the draft, maybe more, who knows. The 36 00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:37,560 Speaker 1: thing that was so incredible about it is you have 37 00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:40,440 Speaker 1: seen the shots of the crowd in front of the 38 00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:45,720 Speaker 1: stage on first in Broadway, But what you didn't see 39 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:48,119 Speaker 1: through a lot of the shots on television is what 40 00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:52,720 Speaker 1: was going on across the river. And I think that 41 00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:55,440 Speaker 1: was the most misleading thing to some people about the 42 00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:59,200 Speaker 1: crowd numbers. Is the numbers over at the NFL Draft 43 00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:03,680 Speaker 1: experience around Nissan Stadium were vast. Now as you see 44 00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:08,639 Speaker 1: fans getting excited about all the picks at the stage 45 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:10,720 Speaker 1: and the way that it you know that it was. 46 00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:16,760 Speaker 1: It was nice because there it never felt claustrophobic. No, 47 00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:20,519 Speaker 1: it didn't. And I went and walked through the crowds 48 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:22,120 Speaker 1: for a while. I just wanted to be a part 49 00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:25,040 Speaker 1: of it. I don't like being left out, and there 50 00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:27,440 Speaker 1: were a lot of people. There's a ton of people 51 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 1: out there, but you never felt like you were being smushed. 52 00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:34,680 Speaker 1: You never really felt like you were trapped anywhere. And 53 00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:37,400 Speaker 1: we had said it before, there's so much room to 54 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:40,080 Speaker 1: spread out kind of down the side streets and be 55 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:43,200 Speaker 1: in the honky Tonkin, to be on the roof, and 56 00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,360 Speaker 1: there was just there were so many different nooks and 57 00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:49,760 Speaker 1: crannies that people could be in. It's not surprising to 58 00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:51,360 Speaker 1: me at all that there were that many people out. 59 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:54,240 Speaker 1: The crowds at Nissan Stadium were massive as well, and 60 00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:58,640 Speaker 1: the numbers of people walking across the pedestrian bridge, I 61 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:01,960 Speaker 1: mean you could when I saw the six hundred thousand number, 62 00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:05,560 Speaker 1: I was not surprised at all that we saw on 63 00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:08,400 Speaker 1: the General Jackson and then walking across and then what 64 00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:11,320 Speaker 1: I saw Saturday afternoon when we got off Titans Radio 65 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:15,880 Speaker 1: and I went down and got in it. It was fantastic. 66 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:22,680 Speaker 1: Now here's what's maybe even more incredible. The two nineteen 67 00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:28,120 Speaker 1: NFL Draft telecast combined to reach more than forty seven 68 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:33,320 Speaker 1: and a half million television viewers, up five percent from 69 00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:36,360 Speaker 1: twenty eighteen. Say that number one more time. Forty seven 70 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:40,400 Speaker 1: and a half million people watched the draft. That's up 71 00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:43,279 Speaker 1: five percent from a year ago. Let me say something 72 00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:47,560 Speaker 1: else too, And this was a worry among some people. 73 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:53,400 Speaker 1: This pretty big movie came out this weekend, Avengers, and 74 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:55,920 Speaker 1: I've seen all sorts of different figures. Apparently it did 75 00:04:55,960 --> 00:05:00,200 Speaker 1: on Friday like one hundred and fifty seven million dollars, 76 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:02,960 Speaker 1: talk that it did like three hundred and forty million 77 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,840 Speaker 1: dollars over the weekend. And there were some people who 78 00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:08,760 Speaker 1: were saying that that might tip off some of the 79 00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:15,120 Speaker 1: edges of the television viewers. And it was wondered, will 80 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:18,480 Speaker 1: this affect the attendance at the draft because some people 81 00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:20,640 Speaker 1: are going to pick either or now. The theory may 82 00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:24,480 Speaker 1: have sounded crazy to some. But the movie was so 83 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:28,360 Speaker 1: big that some people worried about this a little bit. 84 00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:33,960 Speaker 1: Clearly everybody did both not an issue. Yeah, but I 85 00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,240 Speaker 1: heard this and it was being floated last Tuesday and 86 00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:40,039 Speaker 1: Wednesday that there was a thought that it might it 87 00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:42,840 Speaker 1: might haven't some sort of impact because people were so 88 00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:48,120 Speaker 1: excited about this movie. Fair Well, I hadn't thought about it. Yeah, 89 00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:51,560 Speaker 1: I'm not an Avengers guy. I had family members who are, 90 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:55,919 Speaker 1: so I get it. But I thought but clearly it 91 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,719 Speaker 1: didn't have any impact at all. By the way, the 92 00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:06,800 Speaker 1: ratings in Nashville among all of the the NFL network, ABC, ESPN, Fox, whatever, Yes, 93 00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:12,440 Speaker 1: ten point six rating in Nashville for the draft, which 94 00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:14,799 Speaker 1: was number one in the country. New Orleans was second 95 00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:18,839 Speaker 1: at eight point three. They didn't have first round pick. Wow. 96 00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:23,719 Speaker 1: And then Richmond, Virginia, Cleveland, Ohio, Columbus, Ohio, Kansas City, Buffalo, 97 00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:29,600 Speaker 1: Birmingham which is basically Titans Country to us, Dayton, Ohio, 98 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:33,320 Speaker 1: and Milwaukee. Are those are your top ten markets for 99 00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:36,440 Speaker 1: all rounds of the draft? Wow? How about that? That's 100 00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:40,559 Speaker 1: so awesome? All right? Second headline Underclassman one hundred forty 101 00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:43,640 Speaker 1: four came out this year forty nine of them did 102 00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:48,040 Speaker 1: not get drafted. See, and that's the risk you take 103 00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:51,560 Speaker 1: when you do something like that. That's a third yeah, 104 00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:55,120 Speaker 1: and I get it. I understand you feel like you 105 00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:57,880 Speaker 1: are ready to go to the next level. And there's 106 00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:02,360 Speaker 1: kind of the exploratory fits where and I don't know 107 00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:05,840 Speaker 1: how that works, by the way, but where guys can 108 00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:08,279 Speaker 1: kind of get a read on where they might go 109 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:11,040 Speaker 1: to see if they should pull out of school or not. 110 00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:16,480 Speaker 1: I get it. And there's the injury thing, the risk 111 00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:19,920 Speaker 1: of getting hurt your senior year. But if you don't 112 00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:25,680 Speaker 1: get drafted, now you're just here trying to make a team. Yeah. 113 00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:28,560 Speaker 1: But we see some people and this is the short sightedness. 114 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:32,720 Speaker 1: I mean, some guys basically don't put themselves with a 115 00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:36,720 Speaker 1: choice eligibility wise either. Right. They decide I'm going to 116 00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:39,160 Speaker 1: come out, so I'm not going to do my school 117 00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:42,200 Speaker 1: work to the level that I should, or I just 118 00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:44,640 Speaker 1: or I just don't want to do it anymore. Right. 119 00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:47,560 Speaker 1: But then you're in such a bad spot because you 120 00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:52,240 Speaker 1: don't have a degree, you're not with a team. Now 121 00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:55,360 Speaker 1: what do you do well? But that's forty nine forty four, 122 00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:59,920 Speaker 1: by the way, next headline, what conference led in draft 123 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:03,000 Speaker 1: picks for the I think fourteenth year in a row. 124 00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:06,600 Speaker 1: Is there any question the Southeastern Conference, it's a record 125 00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:11,680 Speaker 1: sixty four. Alabama had ten, Georgia and Texas A and 126 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:15,040 Speaker 1: M each had seven. Sixty four Former SEC players go 127 00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:22,160 Speaker 1: Big ten, second Pack, twelve, third, acc fourth, Big twelve, fifth. 128 00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:26,520 Speaker 1: Even with the entire senior class of Clemson getting drafted, 129 00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:30,560 Speaker 1: it Dreams still couldn't pull them up. Sorry, guys. A 130 00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:35,079 Speaker 1: couple of programs that had long streaks of having players 131 00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:40,280 Speaker 1: taken ended. Virginia Tech has no one taken for the 132 00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:46,760 Speaker 1: first time since nineteen ninety three, but Nebraska has no 133 00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:51,760 Speaker 1: one taken for the first time since nineteen sixty three. Seriously, yeah, 134 00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:55,760 Speaker 1: John Kennedy was still president fifty six years streak for Nebraska. 135 00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:01,240 Speaker 1: Sorry Nebraska, Yep, I'm ZERI girl. I don't feel that bad. 136 00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:05,320 Speaker 1: For the mast NFL headline this morning, Sebastian Janikowski has 137 00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:08,520 Speaker 1: finally given it up. Former first round pick of the Raiders, 138 00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:12,600 Speaker 1: The Kicker shows over, shows over for Sea Bass. Wow. 139 00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:19,520 Speaker 1: He retires. He was older though, right, older? Like what 140 00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:23,160 Speaker 1: older than you? Yeah? Yeah, that's fine, okay, but I 141 00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:26,880 Speaker 1: mean like older, how how long is he in the league. 142 00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:30,199 Speaker 1: He's in the league since too. He is the second 143 00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:34,920 Speaker 1: to last player left from the two thousand draft class. Yeah, 144 00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:38,680 Speaker 1: that would be older. You know who's last who Tom Brady, 145 00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:44,880 Speaker 1: Mister one nine himself, the bionic Man, selected one ninety 146 00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:47,840 Speaker 1: nine and two thousand. He is still around. So Shane 147 00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:53,360 Speaker 1: Leckler the punter and Sebastian Janikowski the kicker, both Raiders 148 00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:57,560 Speaker 1: drafted in two thousand, both now retire. So Tom Brady 149 00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:00,520 Speaker 1: is the last one left. Just for fun, I decided 150 00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:03,240 Speaker 1: to look and see who pick number one ninety nine 151 00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:07,840 Speaker 1: in this draft was. His name is Jerry Green, outside 152 00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:12,760 Speaker 1: linebacker from Mississippi State. He's drafted by Indianapolis. So well, 153 00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:15,880 Speaker 1: there you go. Maybe he's maybe in nineteen years we're 154 00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,199 Speaker 1: doing this program, we're talking about him being the last 155 00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:20,760 Speaker 1: player left from the twenty nineteen draft. That would be 156 00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:22,840 Speaker 1: very impressive for an outsideline back. It would be very 157 00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:26,440 Speaker 1: impressive for us to if we're still here, that would 158 00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:29,720 Speaker 1: be impressive too. So we want to salute a friend here. 159 00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:34,920 Speaker 1: Because the mocks, the mock drafts, Jim Wyatt did a 160 00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:41,360 Speaker 1: tour of fifty mock drafts. On the day of the draft. 161 00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:45,679 Speaker 1: It was the day four. Okay, one guy got it right. 162 00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:50,480 Speaker 1: One guy got Jeffrey Simmons. Wow. Know who was Charles Davis? 163 00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:55,880 Speaker 1: Charles Davis Man, congratulations Charles Davis, who had a great 164 00:10:55,880 --> 00:11:00,280 Speaker 1: weekend on NFL Network. Daniel Jeremiah had a great week end. 165 00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:04,920 Speaker 1: Coverage was awesome. I thought NFL Network's coverage, which is 166 00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:07,520 Speaker 1: mostly what we could see where we were and we 167 00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:11,640 Speaker 1: would have a chance to follow during breaks just because 168 00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:14,640 Speaker 1: of the cable hookup that we had available to us. 169 00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:19,079 Speaker 1: But what I saw, I mean, I thought a lot 170 00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:22,960 Speaker 1: of the coverage overall was was really good. I did too, 171 00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:26,400 Speaker 1: some of the shots and this is a very technical thing, 172 00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:32,600 Speaker 1: but the way that they had the broadcasters positioned, and 173 00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:37,960 Speaker 1: the way that Nashville looks with all of the different 174 00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:41,560 Speaker 1: signs and you could see all the people and it's 175 00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:45,680 Speaker 1: starting to get dark and so everything's glowing and beautiful. Oh, 176 00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:49,240 Speaker 1: Nashville looks so good. Oh it was great. By the way. 177 00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:52,600 Speaker 1: Somebody else who got it right? Amy Wells. You know, 178 00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:57,120 Speaker 1: six days ago on the OTP we asked the question, 179 00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:01,520 Speaker 1: who is the player that you could not pass up? 180 00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:06,560 Speaker 1: Let's go to the videotape and take a look player 181 00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:09,520 Speaker 1: that you cannot pass up if he's there at nineteen 182 00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:15,679 Speaker 1: Jeffrey Simmons defensive tackled Mississippi State University. Absolutely, I thank you, 183 00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:20,400 Speaker 1: I'm sorry. Well, I'm good at the game. No. I 184 00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:23,520 Speaker 1: know that there are a lot of flags. I won't 185 00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:25,360 Speaker 1: even call him red flags, but there are a lot 186 00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:28,760 Speaker 1: of things that are attached to him. Obviously, the issue 187 00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:31,400 Speaker 1: coming out of high school, the injury to his ACL. 188 00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:37,560 Speaker 1: Right now, I think that he is such an elite player. 189 00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:41,600 Speaker 1: I think that he is such a physical specimen that 190 00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:44,600 Speaker 1: you can't pass up on something like that. I think 191 00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:47,480 Speaker 1: he's an investment. Obviously, you're not going to get him 192 00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:51,200 Speaker 1: for the majority of the twenty nineteen season. You're giving 193 00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:53,960 Speaker 1: him a red shirt opportunity. I think that that's something 194 00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:57,559 Speaker 1: that in twenty twenty he can come out and start immediately, 195 00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:00,839 Speaker 1: barring any setbacks. Maybe you get him in time for 196 00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:02,960 Speaker 1: the playoffs if your team can get that far. Like, 197 00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:06,880 Speaker 1: I think that that is such a good investment for 198 00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:09,360 Speaker 1: your football team that he's not a guy that you 199 00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:11,360 Speaker 1: can pass up if he's sitting there at nineteen. So 200 00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:16,360 Speaker 1: you're taking top five value for five years at nineteen. 201 00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:20,640 Speaker 1: Absolutely knowing that on paper at least you don't figure 202 00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:23,160 Speaker 1: to have him for the majority of twenty nineteen. I'm 203 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:26,200 Speaker 1: not drafting for right now. I'm drafting for the future 204 00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:29,000 Speaker 1: of this team. You're saying that's the best pick for 205 00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:32,280 Speaker 1: the That's like Taylor la One in twenty fourteen, exactly 206 00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:35,120 Speaker 1: when people went nuts, Oh, how can they take Taylor One? 207 00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:38,079 Speaker 1: That's turned out? It turned out fine. Yeah, it's done. Okay, 208 00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:40,800 Speaker 1: but I think that he's a talent that you can't 209 00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:44,400 Speaker 1: pass up. Okay, the future is now, Mike Keith, we 210 00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:48,920 Speaker 1: have arrived. You said it. I apparently John Robinson listens 211 00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:51,319 Speaker 1: to the pod. I don't think so. I think he 212 00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:55,920 Speaker 1: was listening and the beat again, any valid points, Well, 213 00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:59,520 Speaker 1: well played by you, ma'am. You know, thank you, And 214 00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:02,040 Speaker 1: I wanted to make sure you get full credit because 215 00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:05,040 Speaker 1: because you said it, and when you say it and 216 00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:07,240 Speaker 1: when you get it right, you deserve to get credit. 217 00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:10,240 Speaker 1: Here's an interesting thing too. So we're doing Titans radio 218 00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:15,000 Speaker 1: draft coverage on Saturday, and the Titans pick a Monty Hooker, 219 00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:19,440 Speaker 1: the safety from Iowa, and we are fortunate to get 220 00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:24,320 Speaker 1: Kirk Ferns, Iowa's head football coach, on the show, which 221 00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:28,720 Speaker 1: was he's the dean of NCAA football coaches and highly 222 00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:32,040 Speaker 1: respected a former NFL assistant, I mean, and he's put 223 00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:34,480 Speaker 1: guys in the league all over the place. And he 224 00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:40,040 Speaker 1: talks glowingly about a Monty Hooker and great comparison about 225 00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:42,720 Speaker 1: a Monty Hooker with Carl Kluge in terms of that 226 00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:48,160 Speaker 1: blue collar lunch pale underrated Minnesota prospect who comes in 227 00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:50,760 Speaker 1: and blossoms and then ends up being a really good 228 00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:53,800 Speaker 1: pro very good talk. So we're letting him go, and 229 00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:57,200 Speaker 1: he says, oh, by the way, the tackle that you 230 00:14:57,280 --> 00:15:00,560 Speaker 1: got from Mississippi State is like one of the best 231 00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:05,120 Speaker 1: players we've ever seen. There you go, it's like whoa. 232 00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:09,040 Speaker 1: Kirk Ferrence says this on Titan's Radio. That's pretty awesome. 233 00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:13,640 Speaker 1: It's pretty great. Here's what else is awesome.

And like 293 00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:42,800 Speaker 1: everybody talking about Jared Casey, you know, I can't. I'm 294 00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:45,040 Speaker 1: eager to meet guys like him, you know, just to 295 00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:47,119 Speaker 1: be able to learn from it. So this morning it 296 00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:50,960 Speaker 1: felt surreal. Does it feel real life now? I'm still 297 00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:52,480 Speaker 1: trying to take it all in. You know, it still 298 00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:57,040 Speaker 1: feel like this really happening right now. So it's like, 299 00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:58,760 Speaker 1: you know, I'm still trying to soak it all in. 300 00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:02,439 Speaker 1: You know, Emo, she's still there. You know, I'm so excited. 301 00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:04,720 Speaker 1: Like I said, everything I've been through in life. You know, 302 00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:07,880 Speaker 1: I've been Aldaha working and plays off now so and man, 303 00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:10,639 Speaker 1: I said, really just beginning though, you feel like a 304 00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:13,320 Speaker 1: Titan now I feel like it. I'm gonna Titan now. 305 00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:19,760 Speaker 1: Nice job by you and Ashley Farrell, Hey, thank you. 306 00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:23,159 Speaker 1: It was so good. It was an absolute blast. We 307 00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:25,760 Speaker 1: had so much fun hanging out with him for his 308 00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:29,720 Speaker 1: first day as a Titan. Yeah, it was wild and crazy. 309 00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:33,640 Speaker 1: That was good stuff. I still think in reviewing him, 310 00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:35,600 Speaker 1: and we talked about it, the bit that we showed 311 00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:37,920 Speaker 1: six days ago about him being a top five talent, 312 00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:42,640 Speaker 1: I think when you review everything, if he's healthy, if 313 00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:46,440 Speaker 1: he doesn't sustain the knee injury on February the twelfth, 314 00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:49,800 Speaker 1: I think the Jets take him at three or the 315 00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:53,399 Speaker 1: Raiders take him at four. Yep. I have no doubt 316 00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:57,000 Speaker 1: Mike Mayock takes him at four. Knowing what Mike Mayock 317 00:20:57,160 --> 00:21:01,600 Speaker 1: values in football players, having spent time with Mike and 318 00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:03,439 Speaker 1: I'm not best friends with him or anything, but I 319 00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:06,600 Speaker 1: know I know what he thinks. I mean, this guy 320 00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:10,680 Speaker 1: is something else. He had a great Friday here. I mean, 321 00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:14,080 Speaker 1: he the thing he did at the Country Music Hall 322 00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:15,679 Speaker 1: of Fame, and that was the first time we had 323 00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:18,320 Speaker 1: ever done that. I have a feeling we may do 324 00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:20,920 Speaker 1: it again for season ticket members. It was pretty great. 325 00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:26,000 Speaker 1: It was pretty great. So we did the former first 326 00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:30,480 Speaker 1: round picks and we had five of them there. Chris 327 00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:33,960 Speaker 1: Johnson was there, and Rashaun Evans and a Dory Jackson 328 00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:37,239 Speaker 1: and Kevin Dyson and Michael Griffin. And we didn't know 329 00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:39,640 Speaker 1: that he would get there. We thought we could get 330 00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:43,000 Speaker 1: him there, We hoped, but we thought how cool would 331 00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:45,200 Speaker 1: it be to bring him in and just let him 332 00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:50,120 Speaker 1: surprise people? And it was. It was awesome. It was awesome, 333 00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:57,280 Speaker 1: just the reception. He is so excited and he's so grateful, 334 00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:02,960 Speaker 1: and it just everywhere we went, everything we did, he 335 00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:07,800 Speaker 1: was just blown away and he was just so happy 336 00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:12,800 Speaker 1: to be here. Yeah, and it just struck me. I mean, 337 00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:18,679 Speaker 1: he is so so happy and that makes me happy. 338 00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:21,960 Speaker 1: That's good. All right? So how about some social media questions. 339 00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:25,800 Speaker 1: Here's one, yes, and here's one about Jeffrey Simmons. Actually, 340 00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:29,359 Speaker 1: and the entire Defense says, we have such a young 341 00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:35,240 Speaker 1: nucleus on Defense with Landry, Evans, Jackson, Byard and now Simmons. 342 00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:38,840 Speaker 1: How excited are you to watch that group evolved? Oh? 343 00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:42,040 Speaker 1: Very much? So, I mean, I think that's when you 344 00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:46,400 Speaker 1: put them together with some veteran presents, and I think 345 00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:49,119 Speaker 1: that's what the nice thing is is you have the 346 00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:52,640 Speaker 1: cases and the Wakes and the Woodyards and the Logan 347 00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:56,920 Speaker 1: Ryans and the Malcolm Butlers to sort of lead them along. 348 00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:00,240 Speaker 1: But you know, when I was sitting on stage today 349 00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:04,960 Speaker 1: with Rashaan Evans and Door Jackson, I was taken back 350 00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:07,840 Speaker 1: to sitting on stage at one point at an event 351 00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:10,920 Speaker 1: with some Ari Roland, Keith Bullock. You know. I mean, 352 00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:14,280 Speaker 1: it's the same sort of feeling that you have to 353 00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:17,040 Speaker 1: see that next generation come along. I think this is 354 00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:18,920 Speaker 1: going to be a really good defense for a long 355 00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:22,719 Speaker 1: long time. Here's another one from social media. Do you 356 00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:26,520 Speaker 1: feel like the Titans got some steals in this draft? Yeah. 357 00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:28,120 Speaker 1: We're going to talk about that a little bit more 358 00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:32,400 Speaker 1: in just a second. But there is absolutely no question 359 00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:35,560 Speaker 1: that in terms of where guys were raided by people 360 00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:42,240 Speaker 1: that really everybody respect, that guys fell because and Dave 361 00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:45,199 Speaker 1: McGinnis said it, and he had it exactly right. He 362 00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:48,760 Speaker 1: thought the big men would go up, and as the 363 00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:53,240 Speaker 1: big men went up, the receivers and the defensive backs fell. 364 00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:56,919 Speaker 1: And it was no cause because the receivers and the 365 00:23:56,960 --> 00:24:00,320 Speaker 1: defensive backs couldn't play Amy. It's just there was such 366 00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:03,880 Speaker 1: incredible value in the big guys. It was such a 367 00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:09,600 Speaker 1: great big man year that that's why that happened. So yeah, undoubtedly, 368 00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:17,600 Speaker 1: I think that's true. Does Jeffersonon's size remind you of 369 00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:27,199 Speaker 1: Reggie White? He's got the Reggie White was such a 370 00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:30,639 Speaker 1: massive man from the standpoint, and what people have to 371 00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:36,720 Speaker 1: understand about Reggie White was Reggie White was not the 372 00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:39,840 Speaker 1: tallest guy. He was six five. He's taller than this guy. 373 00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:44,240 Speaker 1: And he wasn't the heaviest guy. I mean he played, 374 00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:47,199 Speaker 1: you know, over three hundred pounds, but I mean he 375 00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:52,360 Speaker 1: wasn't like four hundred pounds or something crazy, right, But 376 00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:56,960 Speaker 1: his length was I mean everything about Reggie White was 377 00:24:57,080 --> 00:25:00,600 Speaker 1: so big. This kid has that too, has the long 378 00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:02,680 Speaker 1: arms and the big hand. I mean his hands are 379 00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:06,159 Speaker 1: just huge, massive yep. So there, I mean there's some 380 00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:09,800 Speaker 1: of I mean, he has some of those qualities. I boy, 381 00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:13,400 Speaker 1: it's hard for me to even even say anything in 382 00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:16,560 Speaker 1: regards to Reggie Ate because you're scared somebody will take 383 00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:19,480 Speaker 1: it as a comparison to the guy who's you know, 384 00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:22,200 Speaker 1: pretty much right at the elite of the elite all time. 385 00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:25,400 Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean he's got I mean, and that's 386 00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:28,600 Speaker 1: what makes him weird is this is when when you 387 00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:33,439 Speaker 1: saw him in the suit, you get how he's put together. 388 00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:37,040 Speaker 1: It's it's not a normal three hundred pound guy coming 389 00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:39,760 Speaker 1: out of college who's generally got got to pull a 390 00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:42,159 Speaker 1: little from up here up here, and they do you 391 00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:44,639 Speaker 1: know when they they they when they get here and 392 00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:47,480 Speaker 1: they're working out full time, and they're on a nutrition 393 00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:50,440 Speaker 1: plan and that, you know, all of these things. Their 394 00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:53,600 Speaker 1: job is football. They generally take some from up here 395 00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:57,600 Speaker 1: and it goes up here. Right. This guy doesn't need that, right, 396 00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:02,520 Speaker 1: I mean he is he's built like he's yeah, like 397 00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:04,800 Speaker 1: he's I mean, he's already he's a grown man. He 398 00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:08,200 Speaker 1: is a grown man. Yes, I agree with that. Anything else, 399 00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:10,480 Speaker 1: that's it for right now, all right, So let's run 400 00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:14,560 Speaker 1: through the six picks, just to make sure that everybody 401 00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:18,199 Speaker 1: remembers what all has gone on, Just to Kate, I 402 00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:21,080 Speaker 1: think they probably do. But what we want to do 403 00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:22,840 Speaker 1: is we just want to go through him. Obviously, Jeffrey 404 00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:25,520 Speaker 1: Simmons is the first round pick, yep. And then the 405 00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:29,600 Speaker 1: second round pick was the real surprise and He's the 406 00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:33,760 Speaker 1: guy I thought most people had going anywhere from twenty 407 00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:37,760 Speaker 1: five to thirty five A. J. Brown. You spent time 408 00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:40,800 Speaker 1: with him on his pre draft visit. He is not 409 00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:45,160 Speaker 1: a typical wide receiver because you see it. He's six one, 410 00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:48,960 Speaker 1: but he's two hundred and thirty pounds. He looks like 411 00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:53,399 Speaker 1: a tailbacker, a linebacker. He does. He's a he's I 412 00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:57,879 Speaker 1: don't even know the word built. I suppose like he's huh. 413 00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:01,640 Speaker 1: And we've said it before. No one really talked about 414 00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:04,919 Speaker 1: it that much because at the combine you had him 415 00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:08,840 Speaker 1: with DK Metcalfe, who had the like four percent body 416 00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:13,320 Speaker 1: fat and the weird like he was super jacked. But 417 00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:17,360 Speaker 1: like this guy is, I mean, he's set, he's good 418 00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:22,399 Speaker 1: to go. He'll be fine. I was tickled. What I 419 00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:24,920 Speaker 1: love so much about him and getting him in this 420 00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:29,680 Speaker 1: spot is he may have a hundred catches next year. 421 00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:34,400 Speaker 1: I don't know, but he doesn't have to. It's not 422 00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:38,919 Speaker 1: you got a great receiver in a year where you 423 00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:43,520 Speaker 1: don't have the expectation that he has to be a 424 00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:46,040 Speaker 1: huge part of it. And so he's going to get 425 00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:48,480 Speaker 1: a chance to grow a little bit. Now. They may 426 00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:50,520 Speaker 1: find roles to help him he may come in and 427 00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:52,639 Speaker 1: show that he can help right away. You never know 428 00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:57,800 Speaker 1: about receivers, but I mean this is fantastic value. His 429 00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:02,359 Speaker 1: run after the catch is unbelievable. Again to coach do 430 00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:06,160 Speaker 1: quote Coach Mack. He is a combat catcher. He really 431 00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:10,840 Speaker 1: catches the football well. Which is a question about Metcalf. Unfortunately, 432 00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:13,600 Speaker 1: this was the I mean he's the all time leader 433 00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:17,200 Speaker 1: in receiving it Old Miss in most categories. He had 434 00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:20,280 Speaker 1: the best back to back years in Old Miss history. 435 00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:24,359 Speaker 1: For a receiver, scores a lot of touchdowns, makes a 436 00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:28,159 Speaker 1: lot of plays just a ballplayer. Can I squeak in 437 00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:30,840 Speaker 1: a social question while we're talking about it? Of course, 438 00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:34,040 Speaker 1: how do you think that the addition of a J. 439 00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:36,840 Speaker 1: Brown is going to change the dynamics of the wide 440 00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:39,400 Speaker 1: receiver room? Is there someone who's now kind of an 441 00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:42,800 Speaker 1: odd man out or not just able to kind of 442 00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:44,560 Speaker 1: grow up in that? I think he can grow up 443 00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:47,320 Speaker 1: in the room. I mean, I have the depth chart 444 00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:50,160 Speaker 1: right here in front of me, and I mean you've 445 00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:54,080 Speaker 1: got Corey Davis, tay One Taylor, Adam Humphreys, and Taj Sharpe, 446 00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:57,240 Speaker 1: and then you know you have several other guys as well. 447 00:28:57,880 --> 00:28:59,680 Speaker 1: I mean it's going to be a battle to stay 448 00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:02,160 Speaker 1: on the roster for some people because a J. Brown 449 00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:05,760 Speaker 1: barring injury is going to be on the roster, and 450 00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:08,520 Speaker 1: so you're you're in a position. I think it's about 451 00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:11,240 Speaker 1: it's about playing time. Does he take playing time away 452 00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:14,440 Speaker 1: from somebody? Are there other areas? You know? Can he 453 00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:20,680 Speaker 1: help on special teams? Don't know? Um? Yeah, just how 454 00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:22,800 Speaker 1: far along he is? I mean that's the thing. You 455 00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:28,200 Speaker 1: never The transition from college to pro is toughest for 456 00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:32,760 Speaker 1: a quarterback. Right behind that is receiver, So you never know, 457 00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:40,080 Speaker 1: you never quite know. Yeah, but I think his odds 458 00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:42,080 Speaker 1: are pretty good. Well, I think we're going to have 459 00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:45,040 Speaker 1: fun watching. Think you're right. I think you're right. Then 460 00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:46,920 Speaker 1: in the third round a guy who was a target, 461 00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:51,400 Speaker 1: Nate Davis, the big man out of Charlotte and Nate 462 00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:56,320 Speaker 1: Davis gives the Titans the versatility they want because he 463 00:29:56,400 --> 00:30:00,240 Speaker 1: has guard type size. He kind of he appeared years 464 00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:03,880 Speaker 1: to be a guard, but he has tackle experience. He 465 00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:08,080 Speaker 1: shows the ability to finish along with pass blocking. What 466 00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:12,320 Speaker 1: he did at the Senior Bowl blew everybody away. He 467 00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:16,200 Speaker 1: made a bunch of money in Mobile. Over ninety guys 468 00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:20,080 Speaker 1: who were in Mobile got drafted ten in the first round. 469 00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:25,240 Speaker 1: So going and practicing and playing at the Senior Bowl, 470 00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:28,600 Speaker 1: let that be a lesson to you young people. But 471 00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:31,960 Speaker 1: I think he went from a third day pick to 472 00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:35,880 Speaker 1: a second day pick based on what he was able 473 00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:40,600 Speaker 1: to do there. Yeah, that's what that's for. Every time 474 00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:43,880 Speaker 1: he went against good competition, he took care of business. 475 00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:47,160 Speaker 1: And so the Titans are very lucky to get him. 476 00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:49,920 Speaker 1: There are many that feel like he will be able 477 00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:52,880 Speaker 1: to compete for the starting spot at right guard right away. 478 00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:57,080 Speaker 1: We shall see, but he is certainly a good looking prospect, 479 00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:00,440 Speaker 1: and he was a guy that that type of player 480 00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:05,120 Speaker 1: in a big man draft that the Titans liked very much. Absolutely. 481 00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:07,840 Speaker 1: This is why you go to those bowl games, Like 482 00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:11,160 Speaker 1: that's the point. That's where you go and you show 483 00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:13,560 Speaker 1: what you can do in a completely different environment in 484 00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:17,560 Speaker 1: front of NFL head coaches. I always, always, always think 485 00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:20,720 Speaker 1: that people should go to those types of things, the 486 00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:23,720 Speaker 1: Senior Bowl, the East West Shrine game. Well, you never 487 00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:25,320 Speaker 1: I mean unless you're going to be like a top 488 00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:28,600 Speaker 1: five pick or a top ten pick, When you get 489 00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:30,960 Speaker 1: a chance to go show how you can play football, 490 00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:35,960 Speaker 1: it never hurts you, right, because that's what you do. Yeah, 491 00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:39,440 Speaker 1: I mean running around cones and running fast forty times. 492 00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:42,480 Speaker 1: It's all important. But you know, he went and showed 493 00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:45,280 Speaker 1: he could play football against good players and he made 494 00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:50,160 Speaker 1: himself a bunch of money. Yep, a money hooker at 495 00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:53,800 Speaker 1: a need position. We were on Titans Radio and as 496 00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:56,080 Speaker 1: you look at it, the Titans did not have good 497 00:31:56,120 --> 00:31:59,760 Speaker 1: depth at safety in terms of numbers, and this player. 498 00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:02,560 Speaker 1: I got up Saturday morning and I was looking over 499 00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:07,400 Speaker 1: who was still left. I was blown away that Chauncey 500 00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:12,040 Speaker 1: Garner Johnson from Florida and a Moni Hooker were still available. 501 00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:16,840 Speaker 1: Two safeties who can do a lot of different things. 502 00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:22,320 Speaker 1: And obviously John Robinson felt strongly enough about him Titan's 503 00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:26,320 Speaker 1: trade up to get him. He's from Minnesota, he comes 504 00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:30,440 Speaker 1: from a family that has put out basketball players. He 505 00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:33,840 Speaker 1: himself was a good basketball player. It's a really good 506 00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:37,719 Speaker 1: all around athlete who continued to improve during his time 507 00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:43,760 Speaker 1: with the Hawkeyes. And you've got to feel great about 508 00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:47,160 Speaker 1: getting this player to give you some real depth behind 509 00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:50,800 Speaker 1: Vicaro and Bayard and with Crookshank. I have a social 510 00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:54,200 Speaker 1: media question about a Moni hooker. How do you see 511 00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:58,400 Speaker 1: hooker contributing in this defense? And do you see those 512 00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:02,320 Speaker 1: contributions happening this sea. Probably not. I mean, if you're 513 00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:06,080 Speaker 1: in a best case scenario, no, because you have Vacaro 514 00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:08,800 Speaker 1: and you have buyed. Now, can there be some packages 515 00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:11,480 Speaker 1: they could use him in when they go three safeties? Yes, 516 00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:15,239 Speaker 1: danps will get creative. You'd like for him to be 517 00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:20,600 Speaker 1: a big special teams performer, and he's done some returning yep. 518 00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:23,760 Speaker 1: So I mean the special teams is what you'd say 519 00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:29,600 Speaker 1: first and foremost. But he gives you outstanding depth, which 520 00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:32,760 Speaker 1: you needed. Because we were looking at the sheet and 521 00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:36,280 Speaker 1: I put these sheets together and they are they are 522 00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:39,280 Speaker 1: not exact, but they give you kind of a positional rundown. 523 00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:41,400 Speaker 1: And this is what we were looking at on Titan's radio. 524 00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:45,760 Speaker 1: And because the team has not resigned Brandon Trolwick and 525 00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:50,760 Speaker 1: because the team has not resigned Kendrick Lewis, they have Vacaro, 526 00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:54,280 Speaker 1: buyered Crookshank and a guy who was on the practice 527 00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:58,120 Speaker 1: squad who has potential, Damian Webb. But amy they only 528 00:33:58,120 --> 00:34:02,560 Speaker 1: got four safeties. Yeah, safeties, And so we were talking 529 00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:05,320 Speaker 1: about it on Titan's Radio and we're saying, you know, 530 00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:07,680 Speaker 1: they could take a mony hooker right here because most 531 00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:09,799 Speaker 1: people thought he was a second or third round pick. 532 00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:12,759 Speaker 1: You can get him in the fourth round and he 533 00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:16,160 Speaker 1: improves your safety depth and you don't have to go 534 00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:19,279 Speaker 1: out and sign a veteran. There you go, Yeah, you 535 00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:22,560 Speaker 1: have him. He can develop. I mean he's learning behind 536 00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:25,680 Speaker 1: guys like Kenny mccaro and Kevin Byard. I mean, that's 537 00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:28,920 Speaker 1: a great room to be in, and he'll get some 538 00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:31,120 Speaker 1: shots to show what he can do shots. There's no 539 00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:33,319 Speaker 1: doubt about it. Yeah, numbers are in his favor there. 540 00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:37,560 Speaker 1: I mean, was this my favorite pick? I hate to 541 00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:40,200 Speaker 1: say that because I don't want to slight the other ones, 542 00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:43,160 Speaker 1: but it was right up there. I was pretty excited 543 00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:45,759 Speaker 1: when because we met him when he was in and 544 00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:51,520 Speaker 1: he was impressive. Yep. Yes, and he fits the whole 545 00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:55,759 Speaker 1: John robertson Mike Vrabel thing about ball players. I like it. 546 00:34:55,840 --> 00:35:00,520 Speaker 1: So far, so good. Fifth round. DeAndre Walker. DeAndre Walker 547 00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:03,920 Speaker 1: outside linebacker Georgia seven and a half sacks last year. 548 00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:05,200 Speaker 1: I had to fight his way to get on the 549 00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:08,239 Speaker 1: field in the midst of a bunch of really talented 550 00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:12,160 Speaker 1: Georgia Bulldogs, and you get the feeling this dude has 551 00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:18,120 Speaker 1: only scraped the surface. Because Georgia has been so good 552 00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:21,919 Speaker 1: on defense and has had so many players that they've 553 00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:25,240 Speaker 1: put in the NFL, and has done such a great 554 00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:28,919 Speaker 1: job at linebacker. He had to fight his way out there. 555 00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:33,839 Speaker 1: He's six two, he weighs two fifty one. He is 556 00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:37,520 Speaker 1: by no means a finished product. But let's look at 557 00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:41,640 Speaker 1: the outside linebackers for the Titans. Cameron Wake who's a 558 00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:49,240 Speaker 1: finished product? Yep, Kamala Corea, Harold Landry, Sharif Finch, LaTroy Lewis, 559 00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:57,160 Speaker 1: Jamel President. So you're probably gonna keep five, Yeah, probably, 560 00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:00,359 Speaker 1: Well there's a spot in there for somebody who can 561 00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:05,360 Speaker 1: play teams and who can develop. Absolutely, and this guy, 562 00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:06,960 Speaker 1: you know, a lot of people thought he was going 563 00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:10,680 Speaker 1: in the third round. I was surprised when I guess 564 00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:14,200 Speaker 1: I just kind of assumed that he was off the board, right, 565 00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:20,520 Speaker 1: So then, yeah, I kind of thought. So when it 566 00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:23,920 Speaker 1: comes down and it says across the screen, DeAndre Walker, 567 00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:26,880 Speaker 1: I was like, what, Yeah, he was still there? Really 568 00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:31,160 Speaker 1: so it was very exciting. Um, yeah, I think that 569 00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:33,800 Speaker 1: I think that group is going to be a really 570 00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:36,680 Speaker 1: fun one to watch in training camp, kind of like 571 00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:39,279 Speaker 1: that David Long pick up in the sixth round. Yes, 572 00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:42,640 Speaker 1: David Long was the only guy in Division one who 573 00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:46,560 Speaker 1: led his team in tackles, tackles for loss and sacks. 574 00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:50,400 Speaker 1: He's not a big guy. He's built just like Jayon Brown, 575 00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:54,640 Speaker 1: almost exactly. But all this guy did is make plays. Now, 576 00:36:55,120 --> 00:36:59,760 Speaker 1: the position is devalued in terms of draft stock because 577 00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:02,680 Speaker 1: teams don't carry as many of these guys due to 578 00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:06,799 Speaker 1: the fact that teams spend more time in sub packages 579 00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:10,319 Speaker 1: with a defensive back taking the place of a linebacker. 580 00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:14,880 Speaker 1: But you need him, you need good ones. You have 581 00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:17,520 Speaker 1: a guy on your team in Wesley Woodyard who is 582 00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:19,480 Speaker 1: in his twelfth year out of Kentucky. He's not going 583 00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:22,799 Speaker 1: to play forever, right, You did not have a lot 584 00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:25,480 Speaker 1: of depth at this spot. This was another position. We 585 00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:27,880 Speaker 1: talked about it on Titans Radio again on as we 586 00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:30,320 Speaker 1: got into round six, and Coach Mac made the point 587 00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:35,400 Speaker 1: that linebacker could be a good spot because you have Woodyard, Evans, Brown, 588 00:37:35,719 --> 00:37:39,760 Speaker 1: Bates who's primarily a special teamer, and then Nigel Harris, 589 00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:42,400 Speaker 1: a guy you added late in the year. You needed 590 00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:45,959 Speaker 1: a young guy. You needed some depth here. We thought 591 00:37:46,040 --> 00:37:50,680 Speaker 1: they might go at that in undrafted free agency, but 592 00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:54,720 Speaker 1: instead they get this guy who the Titans are really 593 00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:59,080 Speaker 1: up on, and people had a high draft grade in 594 00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:02,120 Speaker 1: a lot of different places because of his productivity. But again, 595 00:38:02,640 --> 00:38:07,040 Speaker 1: people skidding because the big men went up. You know, 596 00:38:07,160 --> 00:38:09,920 Speaker 1: guys over two hundred and seventy pounds went up and 597 00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:12,680 Speaker 1: guys under two hundred and seventy pounds went down. Can 598 00:38:12,719 --> 00:38:15,000 Speaker 1: I ask you a question, because I have seen some 599 00:38:15,080 --> 00:38:18,440 Speaker 1: people concerned about his size. Oh tell me why that's 600 00:38:18,440 --> 00:38:21,080 Speaker 1: not a problem, because that's the size of linebackers today. 601 00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:25,480 Speaker 1: The six four, two hundred and forty pound linebacker has 602 00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:29,239 Speaker 1: been replaced by I mean, you've got Rashaun Evans who 603 00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:32,480 Speaker 1: has that sort of size, but he plays like Jayon 604 00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:36,040 Speaker 1: Brown who's six feet and weighs two twenty five two 605 00:38:36,120 --> 00:38:40,799 Speaker 1: thirty woodyard six feet two thirty. I mean, that's that's 606 00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:44,239 Speaker 1: what backers do today, is they want run and hit 607 00:38:44,320 --> 00:38:47,600 Speaker 1: guys because they've got to be able to cover. It's 608 00:38:47,719 --> 00:38:50,920 Speaker 1: not as much teams don't line up in two back 609 00:38:51,560 --> 00:38:54,799 Speaker 1: and come downhill like they once did. Right, you're not 610 00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:57,439 Speaker 1: having to take on the fullback like you once did 611 00:38:57,440 --> 00:39:00,759 Speaker 1: at linebacker. So I think that's the different in the game. Yep, 612 00:39:01,080 --> 00:39:04,120 Speaker 1: I agree with that. So those are the six picks 613 00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:10,400 Speaker 1: for the Titans. That's the class, Simmons, Brown, Davis, Hooker, Walker, 614 00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:16,360 Speaker 1: and Long. Now you're asking about undrafteds and you're seeing 615 00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:18,839 Speaker 1: names all over the place. We tell you how the 616 00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:21,319 Speaker 1: Titans do it, and this is important to remember. You're 617 00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:24,840 Speaker 1: gonna see a lot of different names. And Jim White 618 00:39:24,840 --> 00:39:27,360 Speaker 1: tweeted about this last night and he's right. The majority 619 00:39:27,400 --> 00:39:29,920 Speaker 1: of them will be right because their agents are putting 620 00:39:29,960 --> 00:39:34,040 Speaker 1: it out. The Titans don't release a list until a 621 00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:38,400 Speaker 1: guy passes a physical right the other thing that happens too, 622 00:39:38,920 --> 00:39:43,759 Speaker 1: and they don't like to sort of designate. They'll have 623 00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:47,279 Speaker 1: the rookie mini camp in here the end of not 624 00:39:47,400 --> 00:39:50,040 Speaker 1: this week, but next week. Yes, they will bring in 625 00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:54,040 Speaker 1: tryout players. At the end of that camp there will 626 00:39:54,120 --> 00:39:57,160 Speaker 1: be more than likely, if history shows, there will be 627 00:39:57,239 --> 00:40:02,799 Speaker 1: tryout players who beat out guys who we're signed yep before, 628 00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:05,839 Speaker 1: was it five last year? Yeah, something like that, Nu, Yeah, 629 00:40:06,040 --> 00:40:08,400 Speaker 1: four or five. So they don't so they're saying they 630 00:40:08,440 --> 00:40:10,440 Speaker 1: don't care. They just want to come out of that 631 00:40:10,520 --> 00:40:15,240 Speaker 1: rookie minicamp with the best group possible. But again, don't 632 00:40:15,239 --> 00:40:19,359 Speaker 1: look for the Titans to release anything, as has been 633 00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:21,759 Speaker 1: the custom. Maybe this changes, but the custom has been 634 00:40:22,239 --> 00:40:26,280 Speaker 1: they won't release anything until those guys are either headed 635 00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:29,359 Speaker 1: here or get here and pass a physical that's the norm. Yep. 636 00:40:29,600 --> 00:40:32,680 Speaker 1: So we are not keeping secrets. We're not hiding no, no, no, 637 00:40:32,840 --> 00:40:35,799 Speaker 1: I mean we don't know. They won't tell us for sure. 638 00:40:35,960 --> 00:40:39,439 Speaker 1: We're reading a lot of the same lists that people are. Yeah, 639 00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:44,160 Speaker 1: and they're exciting names on the loose, absolutely like it does. 640 00:40:44,520 --> 00:40:46,759 Speaker 1: You know. We're not putting our hands over our eyes 641 00:40:46,880 --> 00:40:49,839 Speaker 1: or covering our ears and acting like it's not happening. Right, 642 00:40:51,560 --> 00:40:55,839 Speaker 1: But I don't want to give anybody bad information. That's 643 00:40:55,880 --> 00:40:58,080 Speaker 1: not what we do on thee try not to the 644 00:40:59,080 --> 00:41:01,880 Speaker 1: good information, all right. So we're gonna wrap up this 645 00:41:01,920 --> 00:41:04,960 Speaker 1: show with a couple of things. Favorite moments from Draft Weekend. 646 00:41:04,960 --> 00:41:08,200 Speaker 1: If you've got one, send an envia social media. Yeah, 647 00:41:08,360 --> 00:41:10,040 Speaker 1: we want to hear what you want to do. Mine. First, 648 00:41:11,160 --> 00:41:14,600 Speaker 1: Eddie George coming out in Steve McNair's jersey to make 649 00:41:14,640 --> 00:41:18,480 Speaker 1: the fifty first pick. That was pretty great. The crowd's 650 00:41:18,560 --> 00:41:21,960 Speaker 1: reaction to the selection of a J Brown at fifty one, 651 00:41:22,200 --> 00:41:26,640 Speaker 1: especially Eddie coming out. I gotta stop on that for 652 00:41:26,680 --> 00:41:29,200 Speaker 1: a second, just talk about it. When he came out 653 00:41:29,239 --> 00:41:35,720 Speaker 1: in Steve Steve's jersey, I think everybody who was sitting 654 00:41:35,719 --> 00:41:38,520 Speaker 1: around me on the General Jackson and the season ticket 655 00:41:38,560 --> 00:41:43,400 Speaker 1: members just couldn't believe it. And Eddie told the story 656 00:41:43,440 --> 00:41:47,759 Speaker 1: on Titan's radio on Saturday about why he did it 657 00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:51,400 Speaker 1: and how he went about the process. He asked permission, 658 00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:53,360 Speaker 1: and he talked to people, and he came over to 659 00:41:53,440 --> 00:41:57,319 Speaker 1: Hoss and got one of Steve's old jerseys that Hossnoska, 660 00:41:57,400 --> 00:42:01,439 Speaker 1: the Titans equipment manager, had, And I mean, he did 661 00:42:01,480 --> 00:42:03,680 Speaker 1: it the right way and with a lot of thought, 662 00:42:03,840 --> 00:42:06,319 Speaker 1: just as you would expect Eddie George to do right. 663 00:42:07,239 --> 00:42:10,080 Speaker 1: It was. It was awesome. I was down in front 664 00:42:10,080 --> 00:42:14,440 Speaker 1: of the stage with some Titans fans and their response 665 00:42:15,200 --> 00:42:18,360 Speaker 1: was so cool. Yes, it was an awesome moment. It 666 00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:20,960 Speaker 1: was Now now let me go back to the AJ 667 00:42:21,080 --> 00:42:24,400 Speaker 1: Brown thing. So the Titans are on the board in 668 00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:28,240 Speaker 1: the second round, and it was so exciting to see 669 00:42:28,280 --> 00:42:31,080 Speaker 1: them pick a J. Brown because people realize, I mean, 670 00:42:31,120 --> 00:42:34,040 Speaker 1: he should not have been there in a normal year 671 00:42:34,239 --> 00:42:37,560 Speaker 1: for receivers. If this is a normal year for the 672 00:42:37,640 --> 00:42:40,960 Speaker 1: defensive lineman in the offensive lineman where Summer picked here, 673 00:42:41,080 --> 00:42:44,720 Speaker 1: and you know it's just a this was not normal, Nope, 674 00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:47,600 Speaker 1: And for him to be there at fifty one after 675 00:42:47,640 --> 00:42:53,239 Speaker 1: being so productive at Old Miss. People went ballistic. It 676 00:42:53,320 --> 00:42:55,920 Speaker 1: was great, great moment. And then for me as an 677 00:42:56,000 --> 00:43:00,560 Speaker 1: NFL fan Jim Brown, when Jim Brown came out to 678 00:43:00,640 --> 00:43:03,760 Speaker 1: make the pick for the Cleveland Browns in the second 679 00:43:03,880 --> 00:43:06,759 Speaker 1: round and he picked Greedy Williams. The fact that Jim 680 00:43:06,800 --> 00:43:10,919 Speaker 1: Brown said the word Greedy Williams made me happy. Said 681 00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:15,480 Speaker 1: the name. But to think Jim Brown is in Nashville, 682 00:43:17,640 --> 00:43:21,000 Speaker 1: I think he's eighty four. Wow, if I'm not mistaken, 683 00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:23,760 Speaker 1: he's eighty three or eighty four. Who cares. He's Jim Brown. 684 00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:28,720 Speaker 1: That's true to me. He's the greatest player in NFL history. Yeah, 685 00:43:28,760 --> 00:43:31,879 Speaker 1: and he was in Nashville at the draft. That right there, 686 00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:35,360 Speaker 1: if nothing else had happened, that made it the draft. Yeah, 687 00:43:35,520 --> 00:43:38,400 Speaker 1: that was your moment that I mean, it's Jim Brown. Yeah, 688 00:43:38,440 --> 00:43:43,480 Speaker 1: what are yours? Well? My first one was the fact 689 00:43:43,560 --> 00:43:47,560 Speaker 1: that Jeffrey Simmons was drafted. I mean, he was the 690 00:43:47,600 --> 00:43:50,840 Speaker 1: guy I wanted and that never happens to me. Mike. 691 00:43:51,360 --> 00:43:54,239 Speaker 1: You know this, I pick a guy, I get my 692 00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:57,080 Speaker 1: heart set on a guy, and then I get my 693 00:43:57,160 --> 00:44:01,680 Speaker 1: little heartbroken. And this year I got my guy and 694 00:44:01,719 --> 00:44:04,719 Speaker 1: it was so great. So I was very excited about that, 695 00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:07,799 Speaker 1: and then just being able to spend so much time 696 00:44:07,800 --> 00:44:10,399 Speaker 1: with it, that was just such a cool moment for me. 697 00:44:10,960 --> 00:44:14,520 Speaker 1: It was awesome, good. So that was number one. Number two, 698 00:44:15,200 --> 00:44:19,760 Speaker 1: I was able to be in the inner circle with 699 00:44:19,920 --> 00:44:23,480 Speaker 1: the Titan season ticket members. So these were people who 700 00:44:23,520 --> 00:44:26,160 Speaker 1: were directly in front of the stage, and as the 701 00:44:26,160 --> 00:44:29,799 Speaker 1: host city, the Tennessee Titans got the best spot. They 702 00:44:29,800 --> 00:44:33,520 Speaker 1: were right in front of the stage, and so I 703 00:44:33,560 --> 00:44:37,160 Speaker 1: spent some time with them. When the Titans made their 704 00:44:37,200 --> 00:44:41,480 Speaker 1: second and third pick, it was so cool. You're jumping ahead, 705 00:44:41,920 --> 00:44:45,279 Speaker 1: I'm not jumping. Oh I did it out of order. 706 00:44:45,360 --> 00:44:47,919 Speaker 1: Sorry guys, Sorry, Well I'll do the third one less 707 00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:51,880 Speaker 1: or the second. I had a great time with the fans. 708 00:44:52,320 --> 00:44:56,240 Speaker 1: Being able to turn around and see the sheer volume 709 00:44:56,280 --> 00:44:59,279 Speaker 1: of people in Nashville was so cool. Being able to 710 00:44:59,320 --> 00:45:02,000 Speaker 1: be there when one was being selected was also cool. 711 00:45:02,719 --> 00:45:07,000 Speaker 1: It was an awesome experience. The let my I guess 712 00:45:07,040 --> 00:45:14,799 Speaker 1: second third moment was Christian Wilko. Christian Wilkins came up 713 00:45:14,920 --> 00:45:18,200 Speaker 1: onto the stage when he was drafted. He's going to 714 00:45:18,280 --> 00:45:21,960 Speaker 1: meet the commissioner. This is such an exciting moment for him. 715 00:45:22,840 --> 00:45:25,359 Speaker 1: Here it comes you can see he's fired up. And 716 00:45:25,400 --> 00:45:30,240 Speaker 1: then what does he do? He demolishes Roger Goodell just 717 00:45:30,640 --> 00:45:35,120 Speaker 1: straight up goes in for like the chest bump thing. 718 00:45:35,920 --> 00:45:39,360 Speaker 1: Roger Goodell cannot jump that high. He knows this, He 719 00:45:39,440 --> 00:45:42,000 Speaker 1: knows that Christian Wilkins is a big dude and he's 720 00:45:42,040 --> 00:45:44,600 Speaker 1: gonna get slammed. So what does he do. He ducks, 721 00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:50,040 Speaker 1: He goes down, big guy goes up. Hilarious. It was 722 00:45:50,239 --> 00:45:54,000 Speaker 1: so funny. And we had just talked about the fear 723 00:45:54,080 --> 00:45:56,560 Speaker 1: in Roger Goodell's eyes when he goes in for some 724 00:45:56,600 --> 00:45:59,840 Speaker 1: of those hugs, and that just blew all of it 725 00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:02,640 Speaker 1: out of the water. I thought it was so funny, 726 00:46:03,080 --> 00:46:05,120 Speaker 1: and I was in the media room and saw it 727 00:46:05,160 --> 00:46:09,480 Speaker 1: on TV. Everybody starts laughing. And it's even better because 728 00:46:09,480 --> 00:46:13,480 Speaker 1: the broadcast played it again in slow motion and you see, 729 00:46:14,320 --> 00:46:19,080 Speaker 1: didn't you see just straight fear but also acknowledging that 730 00:46:19,120 --> 00:46:21,799 Speaker 1: he's just gonna have to take this one, and so 731 00:46:21,840 --> 00:46:24,960 Speaker 1: he kind of goes down. It was great. It was 732 00:46:25,160 --> 00:46:28,120 Speaker 1: pure comedy for me, and I thought that it was 733 00:46:28,200 --> 00:46:31,399 Speaker 1: just that's the excitement of the draft, all right, that's it. 734 00:46:31,560 --> 00:46:33,520 Speaker 1: Good stuff. You know, who else had the excitement of 735 00:46:33,520 --> 00:46:39,319 Speaker 1: the draft Amy Adams Strunk. If there is anybody who 736 00:46:39,360 --> 00:46:42,120 Speaker 1: had a better weekend than Amy Adams Strunk, I don't 737 00:46:42,200 --> 00:46:44,160 Speaker 1: know who it is. And the people who got to 738 00:46:44,280 --> 00:46:48,640 Speaker 1: encounter her certainly had a great time as well. Here's 739 00:46:48,640 --> 00:46:51,000 Speaker 1: some of that scene through our eyes as we had 740 00:46:51,000 --> 00:47:05,239 Speaker 1: a chance to follow her on Saturday.

So 756 00:49:18,160 --> 00:49:20,120 Speaker 1: let's wrap it up with some social media. Do you 757 00:49:20,120 --> 00:49:22,520 Speaker 1: have some things? I have some people who sent in 758 00:49:22,680 --> 00:49:25,120 Speaker 1: their favorite draft coments. Good. I'd love to hear this. 759 00:49:25,320 --> 00:49:29,600 Speaker 1: So the first one was my favorite moment was blowing 760 00:49:29,640 --> 00:49:34,680 Speaker 1: every draft host city out of the water fair That 761 00:49:34,800 --> 00:49:39,320 Speaker 1: also that has been completed. Yes, well done. Um. Someone 762 00:49:39,360 --> 00:49:42,200 Speaker 1: else said that their favorite thing was Albert Haynesworth was 763 00:49:42,239 --> 00:49:46,080 Speaker 1: hanging out with fans. Typical of him. I mean, that's 764 00:49:46,080 --> 00:49:49,239 Speaker 1: what he does. Big Owl's not afraid to be with 765 00:49:49,280 --> 00:49:51,560 Speaker 1: the people. I saw him on the red carpet wearing 766 00:49:52,000 --> 00:49:57,160 Speaker 1: like a sequin Yeah, like a sequin vest type of thing. 767 00:49:57,800 --> 00:50:00,480 Speaker 1: It was not the most flattering thing I've ever seen, 768 00:50:00,520 --> 00:50:07,120 Speaker 1: but he worked it. Proud of him. Nice. Um, sorry, buddy. UM. 769 00:50:07,280 --> 00:50:10,320 Speaker 1: Here's a fan that said Michael Irvin took his daughter 770 00:50:10,480 --> 00:50:13,920 Speaker 1: up on stage to wave a Titans flag. That's pretty cool. 771 00:50:14,360 --> 00:50:18,040 Speaker 1: That's a cool moment. Uh. My favorite one is his 772 00:50:18,080 --> 00:50:21,040 Speaker 1: favorite moment of the draft was Mike Keith's reaction to 773 00:50:21,080 --> 00:50:25,960 Speaker 1: a J. Brown on the General Jackson. That was my 774 00:50:26,480 --> 00:50:29,080 Speaker 1: Rashaan Evans moment. I was gonna say, was this another 775 00:50:29,160 --> 00:50:32,680 Speaker 1: falling out of your seat type of reaction? So last 776 00:50:32,719 --> 00:50:34,640 Speaker 1: year I got a little excited when the Titans picked 777 00:50:34,640 --> 00:50:40,719 Speaker 1: her Sean Evans. That's okay, it's passion. That's good, I 778 00:50:40,800 --> 00:50:43,960 Speaker 1: admit it. But I'm sitting there, We're talking about the 779 00:50:44,000 --> 00:50:47,839 Speaker 1: possible people, and I'm I throw at him, like, what 780 00:50:47,840 --> 00:50:49,839 Speaker 1: about A J. Brown? Here? I said this, I mean 781 00:50:50,840 --> 00:50:53,680 Speaker 1: Scott Lee. I mean, if you watched SEC football and 782 00:50:53,719 --> 00:50:57,400 Speaker 1: you watch this guy play and you and you understand, 783 00:50:57,480 --> 00:51:00,080 Speaker 1: I mean from the from the depth standpoint again, and 784 00:51:00,440 --> 00:51:03,160 Speaker 1: a lot of what we talk about because we're doing 785 00:51:03,200 --> 00:51:06,600 Speaker 1: such long draft coverage on radio, as we're talking about 786 00:51:06,640 --> 00:51:10,320 Speaker 1: the different positions. The Titans didn't technically need a wide receiver, 787 00:51:11,520 --> 00:51:13,799 Speaker 1: but if you can get a guy who can just 788 00:51:13,880 --> 00:51:18,600 Speaker 1: go score touchdowns, that's what the game still is. That's 789 00:51:18,640 --> 00:51:22,520 Speaker 1: why I understood some of the talk about the Titans 790 00:51:22,520 --> 00:51:26,680 Speaker 1: potentially picking one of the great tight ends at number nineteen. 791 00:51:27,280 --> 00:51:30,120 Speaker 1: I thought the only one they would pick would be Howkinson. 792 00:51:30,880 --> 00:51:34,600 Speaker 1: I really did. But if he was there, it's like, 793 00:51:34,920 --> 00:51:37,319 Speaker 1: is he is he just so good? You can't pass 794 00:51:37,400 --> 00:51:39,279 Speaker 1: him up? And I just thought at fifty one, A J. 795 00:51:39,480 --> 00:51:43,839 Speaker 1: Brown was so good you can't pass him up. And 796 00:51:44,440 --> 00:51:49,440 Speaker 1: because you got Adam Humphries, you're you're just not under 797 00:51:49,480 --> 00:51:52,120 Speaker 1: pressure with that group anymore, because Corey took a big 798 00:51:52,120 --> 00:51:54,399 Speaker 1: step last year, and we know what Taywan can do, 799 00:51:54,520 --> 00:51:57,720 Speaker 1: and Taj came back and and I think this group's 800 00:51:57,760 --> 00:52:00,799 Speaker 1: going to get better. But this kid is just so 801 00:52:00,880 --> 00:52:03,479 Speaker 1: special to me. You can just never have enough of them. 802 00:52:03,520 --> 00:52:05,360 Speaker 1: I think that's awesome. I like that you had a 803 00:52:05,360 --> 00:52:08,759 Speaker 1: good response. Well, I was kind of it was not. Yeah, 804 00:52:08,800 --> 00:52:12,600 Speaker 1: I was a little excited. I like it. Excitement is good, Yeah, 805 00:52:12,719 --> 00:52:15,760 Speaker 1: but I just liked it be calmer as I get older. 806 00:52:15,800 --> 00:52:19,000 Speaker 1: It's not happening. No one wants you to be called 807 00:52:19,040 --> 00:52:22,399 Speaker 1: We want your true feelings. MOB is just not happening now, 808 00:52:22,520 --> 00:52:25,840 Speaker 1: all right, you got anything else? Uh? No? Um, I 809 00:52:25,880 --> 00:52:28,919 Speaker 1: did get a question about the caravan. Okay, people would 810 00:52:28,960 --> 00:52:30,600 Speaker 1: like to know if that's a thing that we're doing 811 00:52:30,680 --> 00:52:33,280 Speaker 1: this year. The answer is yes. So get on Titans 812 00:52:33,320 --> 00:52:36,919 Speaker 1: online dot com. The cities are posted. You can check 813 00:52:36,960 --> 00:52:39,839 Speaker 1: it out there. You're caravanning today, I'm caravanning today. We're 814 00:52:39,840 --> 00:52:42,520 Speaker 1: going to Fort Campbell today. Nice. I know you know 815 00:52:42,560 --> 00:52:45,839 Speaker 1: our first visit to Fort Campbell it was twenty years ago. 816 00:52:47,000 --> 00:52:50,279 Speaker 1: We took Eddie George and as we planned it out. 817 00:52:50,360 --> 00:52:52,480 Speaker 1: The funny thing is we didn't exactly know where Fort 818 00:52:52,520 --> 00:52:55,520 Speaker 1: Campbell was. None of us ever been to Fort Campbell. 819 00:52:55,800 --> 00:52:58,719 Speaker 1: This is so terrible to admit. We were all very 820 00:52:58,760 --> 00:53:02,399 Speaker 1: young and so were we didn't have a There's now 821 00:53:02,440 --> 00:53:04,719 Speaker 1: a map on my wall from back when I was 822 00:53:04,760 --> 00:53:07,480 Speaker 1: involved with the caravan, and I would always do pushpins 823 00:53:07,560 --> 00:53:09,920 Speaker 1: to the different places. And it came from the ninety 824 00:53:10,000 --> 00:53:14,799 Speaker 1: nine caravan where I didn't realize certain places weren't as 825 00:53:14,840 --> 00:53:18,960 Speaker 1: close together as I thought they were. Because most of 826 00:53:19,040 --> 00:53:23,400 Speaker 1: my knowledge of this stuff was based on like Snowbird 827 00:53:23,600 --> 00:53:25,960 Speaker 1: from when I was a kid, looking at the different 828 00:53:26,000 --> 00:53:28,799 Speaker 1: counties in Kentucky. This is so awful to admit it, 829 00:53:29,239 --> 00:53:32,680 Speaker 1: but so we we would watch Bill Hall do Snowbird 830 00:53:33,080 --> 00:53:35,960 Speaker 1: or Ron Howe's on Channel five, you know, do whatever, 831 00:53:36,600 --> 00:53:39,799 Speaker 1: and and so you would see the counties come off. 832 00:53:39,920 --> 00:53:43,439 Speaker 1: Well they all look so close together, right, They're really 833 00:53:43,520 --> 00:53:46,920 Speaker 1: not well, But it's like Bowling Green and Fort Campbell 834 00:53:46,920 --> 00:53:50,520 Speaker 1: are not close together on the on the Snowbird map, 835 00:53:50,600 --> 00:53:52,759 Speaker 1: they look close to This is so offen. Why am 836 00:53:52,760 --> 00:53:56,040 Speaker 1: I admitting this is so good? So this is twenty 837 00:53:56,120 --> 00:54:00,920 Speaker 1: years ago, So we have this disaster day where everything 838 00:54:01,040 --> 00:54:04,840 Speaker 1: we have plotted out as far as times are way 839 00:54:04,920 --> 00:54:08,839 Speaker 1: off because first of all, our driver won't go over 840 00:54:08,920 --> 00:54:13,880 Speaker 1: forty five, which was not great, horrendous. And the second 841 00:54:13,920 --> 00:54:18,480 Speaker 1: thing was where these distances are much greater than what 842 00:54:18,520 --> 00:54:22,960 Speaker 1: we knew. So Eddie's with us, Eddie, George is with us, 843 00:54:23,040 --> 00:54:26,040 Speaker 1: and he is he's being a champ. But I mean, 844 00:54:26,080 --> 00:54:29,319 Speaker 1: it's a bad, bad day. We are way late. We 845 00:54:29,440 --> 00:54:32,240 Speaker 1: go to Fort Campbell, which is something that Bob Hyde 846 00:54:32,360 --> 00:54:34,200 Speaker 1: and Larry Stone and I talked about. Said, you know, 847 00:54:34,239 --> 00:54:37,040 Speaker 1: we've got the post there. We need to go there. 848 00:54:37,719 --> 00:54:41,480 Speaker 1: And we show up at the PX, which is essentially 849 00:54:41,600 --> 00:54:44,680 Speaker 1: their shopping center. In case you don't know the vernacular. 850 00:54:45,920 --> 00:54:48,799 Speaker 1: I didn't, which is why I said, and obviously didn't 851 00:54:48,840 --> 00:54:50,880 Speaker 1: know where it because I'm looking at the snowbird map. 852 00:54:51,680 --> 00:54:55,239 Speaker 1: So this is so bad. This is why you watch 853 00:54:55,320 --> 00:55:00,160 Speaker 1: the OTP for these moments of personal reflection. So we 854 00:55:00,200 --> 00:55:04,560 Speaker 1: get there. They're eight hundred people there. It's the greatest 855 00:55:04,560 --> 00:55:08,080 Speaker 1: thing in the world. Eddie is energized. It's and that 856 00:55:08,200 --> 00:55:12,160 Speaker 1: was where the whole bond between the Titans and Fort 857 00:55:12,239 --> 00:55:18,120 Speaker 1: Campbell started. And every year we have taken people there 858 00:55:19,000 --> 00:55:22,120 Speaker 1: and it doesn't matter who you take, and most of them, 859 00:55:22,239 --> 00:55:24,439 Speaker 1: not all of them, are Titans fans because these are 860 00:55:24,440 --> 00:55:26,960 Speaker 1: our military people from across the country, and they'll come 861 00:55:27,040 --> 00:55:29,719 Speaker 1: up and they'll be I'm a you know, a Bucks fan, 862 00:55:29,880 --> 00:55:32,080 Speaker 1: or I'm a Raiders fan, or I'm a Seahawks fan. 863 00:55:32,560 --> 00:55:35,719 Speaker 1: But they are so thrilled and so pleased that the 864 00:55:35,840 --> 00:55:38,879 Speaker 1: NFL team comes to see them. And this bond has 865 00:55:38,920 --> 00:55:48,040 Speaker 1: been formed from essentially a mistake that that has carried 866 00:55:48,080 --> 00:55:50,759 Speaker 1: on in this way and has been so the relationship 867 00:55:50,800 --> 00:55:54,319 Speaker 1: has been so special. And I'll never forget getting to 868 00:55:54,360 --> 00:55:58,600 Speaker 1: have lunch there one time and seeing General Petraeus and 869 00:55:58,719 --> 00:56:02,080 Speaker 1: Jeff Fisher have a conversation and that those two men, 870 00:56:03,239 --> 00:56:04,680 Speaker 1: I mean, it was one of the great thrills of 871 00:56:04,719 --> 00:56:08,000 Speaker 1: my time. Here is these two incredibly bright men having 872 00:56:08,000 --> 00:56:11,920 Speaker 1: a conversation.
