I don't like talking about him. 13 00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:52,360 Speaker 2: He gets annoying. He gets a lot of attention, Yeah, 14 00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:55,000 Speaker 2: too much. That's part of being on that team in 15 00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:56,560 Speaker 2: the Northeast. They just get a lot of attention. 16 00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:58,400 Speaker 1: That did work out pretty well for you too. 17 00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:01,480 Speaker 2: It wasn't bad. It was bed a little hardware to go, 18 00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:03,680 Speaker 2: so it was you get a chance to play with 19 00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:06,320 Speaker 2: your twin brother like. You can't beat that. So those 20 00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:08,520 Speaker 2: three seasons were pretty pretty incredible. 21 00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:12,720 Speaker 1: And now NFL Network, Yeah, good Morning Football. 22 00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:15,160 Speaker 2: A lot smaller of a locker room, just as much fun, 23 00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:19,440 Speaker 2: a lot less taxing on my body mentally, I get 24 00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:22,240 Speaker 2: to use all of that stuff. But yeah, Good Morning Football. 25 00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:24,320 Speaker 2: NFL Network has been a lot of fun. It's been 26 00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:27,440 Speaker 2: a huge learning curve too, though, of just being thrown 27 00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:28,920 Speaker 2: into the fire and having to pick up. 28 00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:31,880 Speaker 1: But you came in at the same point with the host, 29 00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:37,320 Speaker 1: Jamie Ardell, and it feels like the chemistry clicked right 30 00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:40,800 Speaker 1: away because the two new kids came in with the 31 00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:44,559 Speaker 1: two old kids, and because you had somebody to bond 32 00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:48,600 Speaker 1: with over the newness of the experience. It never appeared 33 00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:50,480 Speaker 1: that you were a fish out of water. 34 00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:52,280 Speaker 2: No doubt about it. Me and Jamie would complain to 35 00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:55,680 Speaker 2: one another about Peter and Kyle so I did something. 36 00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:57,480 Speaker 2: You would just go to each other like can you 37 00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:00,640 Speaker 2: believe this? But no, Jamie's awesome And I think we 38 00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:03,280 Speaker 2: just celebrated this past Tuesday, to twenty fifth was our 39 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:06,880 Speaker 2: one year anniversary since starting the show. And I remember 40 00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:08,799 Speaker 2: I met Jamie. It was the month before, at the 41 00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:11,240 Speaker 2: end of June. We did a little audition down in 42 00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:14,200 Speaker 2: NFL Films in Mount Laurel, New Jersey, and that was 43 00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:16,000 Speaker 2: the first time she had already got the job. I 44 00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:17,680 Speaker 2: was kind of figured my way out and see if 45 00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:19,840 Speaker 2: they were going to hire me, And from that point on, 46 00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:22,040 Speaker 2: we went on a week before we started on the show, 47 00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:24,160 Speaker 2: hung out a little bit and it's been awesome. I 48 00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:27,160 Speaker 2: think to your point, you're both starting a new endeavor. 49 00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:30,079 Speaker 2: Jamie was doing sideline reporting for CBS, so now she's 50 00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:32,720 Speaker 2: coming in studio on a three hour show. I just 51 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:35,040 Speaker 2: walked off the football field. So this is a brand 52 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:38,080 Speaker 2: new experience, and Jamie became my buddy because there were 53 00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:40,679 Speaker 2: a lot of TV terms that I didn't know. I'm 54 00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:43,240 Speaker 2: being thrust into fire no football. I'd be like, Jamie, 55 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:47,279 Speaker 2: what does that mean? What's a line producer? 56 00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:47,560 Speaker 1: Wait? 57 00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:50,079 Speaker 2: Why do we have eighteen producers on one show? So 58 00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:52,520 Speaker 2: it was really cool being able to start together and 59 00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:54,639 Speaker 2: kind of go through that experience with each other. 60 00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:57,040 Speaker 1: Let me back up one second, how did you even 61 00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:58,959 Speaker 1: get in the mix for Good Morning Football? 62 00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:03,080 Speaker 2: So last April I finished the twenty twenty one season. 63 00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:05,080 Speaker 2: I ended up doing the list Frank on my foot, 64 00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:07,640 Speaker 2: don't know whether I'm a player or not. NFL Network 65 00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:09,720 Speaker 2: does a broadcast boot camp out at LA at the 66 00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:12,000 Speaker 2: headquarters there, and I go out there. It's about a 67 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:15,920 Speaker 2: two three day experience and you learn and do everything, 68 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:20,280 Speaker 2: and there's CBS is there, NBC, Fox, NFL Network, Amazon, 69 00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:22,960 Speaker 2: everybody's there, and you're talking to some of the producers 70 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,080 Speaker 2: and people that have done this for a ton of years. 71 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:27,400 Speaker 2: And you go there. In the first day, you learn 72 00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:29,239 Speaker 2: about what's it like to be on the radio, to 73 00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:32,040 Speaker 2: do a podcast, to call a game for TV radio, 74 00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:34,240 Speaker 2: be in the studio. And the very last day of 75 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:37,600 Speaker 2: the experience, it's a full on audition.

Then we did a podcast, we 80 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:52,120 Speaker 2: did a studio segment, we interview somebody. The funny thing, 81 00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:54,560 Speaker 2: as I look back, Richard Sherman was my partner there, 82 00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:57,320 Speaker 2: so me and him are interviewing each other. We're hanging 83 00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:00,920 Speaker 2: out the whole time. A year months later, we're both 84 00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:03,640 Speaker 2: I called some Thursday night games for Westwood one Radio 85 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,560 Speaker 2: and he obviously was doing Thursday Night football for Amazon, 86 00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:08,440 Speaker 2: and we're sitting there on the sideline before the game. 87 00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:11,320 Speaker 2: We're like, just think about that. Back in April, we 88 00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:13,240 Speaker 2: were out here doing a boot camp now here we 89 00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:16,800 Speaker 2: are both transitioned into the media and doing our thing. 90 00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:19,240 Speaker 2: And from there I left that boot camp and I 91 00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:21,320 Speaker 2: had an opportunity to work with Westwood want to call 92 00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:24,520 Speaker 2: games on the radio, the audition for Good Morning Football, 93 00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:26,600 Speaker 2: and there was something else with CBS Sports Network that 94 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,640 Speaker 2: just didn't come to fruition. But three opportunities, I was like, 95 00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:31,479 Speaker 2: do I still want to play? And I was just like, 96 00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:34,240 Speaker 2: I got an opportunity for life after football, I'm gonna 97 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:36,159 Speaker 2: ahead and take it in. Save my body to rust. 98 00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:38,120 Speaker 2: So it's been it's been a really good transition. 99 00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:42,200 Speaker 3: That's unbelievable that you were able to have that experience, 100 00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:44,039 Speaker 3: be able to get in a room where you're learning 101 00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:47,680 Speaker 3: all those skills and then get the opportunity so quickly. 102 00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:48,320 Speaker 2: To use them. 103 00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:50,680 Speaker 3: Did you ever have a moment where you felt like 104 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:53,799 Speaker 3: this is I mean, this is a live three hour 105 00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:56,839 Speaker 3: show where you're being asked to do everything. You're not 106 00:04:57,080 --> 00:05:00,520 Speaker 3: just calling a game, you're not just doing an interview, 107 00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:03,000 Speaker 3: You're doing all kinds of different stuff. Did you ever 108 00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:04,360 Speaker 3: feel like, Okay, what am I doing? 109 00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:07,560 Speaker 2: Why am I here the whole time? I'll give you 110 00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:10,200 Speaker 2: the game part first. So my first game ever was 111 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:13,599 Speaker 2: Cleveland Brown's game in Cleveland against the Pittsburgh Steelers Thursday 112 00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:16,680 Speaker 2: Night Football, and I get the email from Howard dinner Off, 113 00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:18,920 Speaker 2: who works for Westwood One, and it says that I'll 114 00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:21,480 Speaker 2: be calling the game with Iron Eagle. So my initial 115 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:25,159 Speaker 2: reaction is just like, they're going to let me call 116 00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:27,560 Speaker 2: a game with I've never called a game in my life. 117 00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:31,080 Speaker 2: I've done audition for a half for a quarter, and 118 00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,520 Speaker 2: They're about to let me call this game with Iron Eagle. 119 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:37,360 Speaker 2: So the week's days leading up to that game, I 120 00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:40,200 Speaker 2: was just so nervous because you don't know what to expect. 121 00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:43,400 Speaker 2: And something that helped is the week before the game 122 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:47,160 Speaker 2: I called, the Vikings were playing Philly Monday Night Football. 123 00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:50,520 Speaker 2: Kevin Harlan and Kurt Warner do the games for Westwood One. 124 00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:53,440 Speaker 2: I went there for a half and just watched them. 125 00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:55,479 Speaker 2: I just sat in the booth and just watched the 126 00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:58,560 Speaker 2: way they interacted, the things they said, the whole nine. 127 00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:01,080 Speaker 2: And that was really cool. Guy that learns from being 128 00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:03,760 Speaker 2: able to watch, So seeing them and then listening to 129 00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 2: other people call games helped a lot. But with Good 130 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,560 Speaker 2: Morning Football, it was just being there every single day. 131 00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:12,560 Speaker 2: You learned so fast, but I would watch the other three. 132 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:15,040 Speaker 2: We'd have guests come on, and the part where we 133 00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:17,160 Speaker 2: start talking about the game. That's easy for me. I've 134 00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:19,599 Speaker 2: sat in meetings for thirteen years. But then when you 135 00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:21,359 Speaker 2: bring a guest on and you got to start asking 136 00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:23,920 Speaker 2: them questions, or now that you're in a teleprompter and 137 00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:25,839 Speaker 2: you're reading, and you're sitting up right and you're trying 138 00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:27,720 Speaker 2: not to fumble on any of the words, but you 139 00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 2: also want to seem natural. You don't want to look 140 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,160 Speaker 2: at the teleprompter and just read line by line. So 141 00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:34,479 Speaker 2: those were the parts where like I'd get really nervous 142 00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:37,000 Speaker 2: before the show. I'd have my script in front, I'd 143 00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,280 Speaker 2: read everything that I had and a prompter to try 144 00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:41,240 Speaker 2: to memorize some of it to kind of build that 145 00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:45,120 Speaker 2: comfort level. So it's come a long way in one year. 146 00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:48,120 Speaker 2: So I'm just excited about I think I got in 147 00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:50,640 Speaker 2: not knowing how passionate I was going to be. Now 148 00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:53,360 Speaker 2: I follow all the people that talk about sports media 149 00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:55,919 Speaker 2: and all of that, and now there's a legit passion 150 00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:57,160 Speaker 2: to want to get better at it. 151 00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:00,680 Speaker 3: You're a full on media member. Now it happened, But 152 00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:03,119 Speaker 3: we've got to go back to calling the game, because 153 00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:06,240 Speaker 3: it just occurred to me, how many games have you 154 00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:11,480 Speaker 3: actually listened to on the radio or watch an entire broadcast? 155 00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:14,960 Speaker 3: Because think about it. High school you're playing football, College 156 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:18,560 Speaker 3: you're playing football, NFL you're playing football. 157 00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:19,440 Speaker 1: Is a great point. 158 00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:23,480 Speaker 3: You're not hearing the broadcast because if you're watching film 159 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:27,640 Speaker 3: of somebody, you're not getting the broadcast. You're not watching 160 00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:31,080 Speaker 3: for enjoyment, You're not listening because you're curious about a game, 161 00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:33,760 Speaker 3: because you've got your own game you're preparing for, So 162 00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:37,400 Speaker 3: you didn't have maybe the cadence of what a broadcast 163 00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:38,800 Speaker 3: would be in your head already. 164 00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:41,360 Speaker 2: Right, No, not at all. And I'd watch a ton 165 00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:44,160 Speaker 2: of football. I've watched my brother play, but I'd be 166 00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:46,680 Speaker 2: lying if I said I was listening and hanging on 167 00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:49,720 Speaker 2: to every word that Iron Eagle and Charles Davis was saying, 168 00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:52,000 Speaker 2: or what Jim Nantz was saying on this one, or 169 00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:54,480 Speaker 2: like you're just watching the game and I'm watching the 170 00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:57,240 Speaker 2: DBS or what the offense that or what the defense did? 171 00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:01,040 Speaker 2: And radio never I got the job. I was like, well, 172 00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:02,760 Speaker 2: I need to go listen to a radio broadcast and 173 00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:05,280 Speaker 2: see it and sees what it sounds like I knew 174 00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:10,760 Speaker 2: touchdown Titians. I knew that part, thank you to that point, 175 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:12,760 Speaker 2: because you got to be in the car on a Sunday, 176 00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:14,040 Speaker 2: I'd be parked in front of the TV. 177 00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:17,320 Speaker 1: But even if you knew what I did, that's the 178 00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:18,560 Speaker 1: play by play. That's not that. 179 00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:21,720 Speaker 2: No doubt about it. 180 00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:24,080 Speaker 1: So I'm wonder in some ways if it's not almost 181 00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:27,720 Speaker 1: better because you didn't have a preconceived notion of what 182 00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:28,480 Speaker 1: that job is. 183 00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:30,320 Speaker 2: So that's the way I took it. Even for the 184 00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:33,439 Speaker 2: Good Morning Football. I watched Good Morning Football, but never 185 00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:35,120 Speaker 2: the way that you need to watch it as you're 186 00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:37,560 Speaker 2: preparing to go on it. And I thought about going 187 00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:39,680 Speaker 2: back and watching Nate bur listen who sat in my 188 00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:44,040 Speaker 2: seat before, who obviously is amazing. He's on CBS now, 189 00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:45,480 Speaker 2: And I was like, well, I don't want to do that, 190 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:47,480 Speaker 2: because if I do that, I'm gonna have in my 191 00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:50,679 Speaker 2: brain already the things Nate says how he goes about it, 192 00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:52,319 Speaker 2: and I don't want to be Nate. I want to 193 00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:53,920 Speaker 2: make sure when I sit in that seat on my 194 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,400 Speaker 2: own person. So to your point, when I was kind 195 00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:58,839 Speaker 2: of studying getting ready for it, I wanted to listen 196 00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:01,880 Speaker 2: and pay attention more to when do I talk like 197 00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:04,000 Speaker 2: that was the biggest thing for me. We're doing radio, 198 00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:06,280 Speaker 2: and I remember when I did my audition at the 199 00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:08,440 Speaker 2: boot camp. There was a touchdown, there was a two 200 00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:10,480 Speaker 2: minute drill, and the guys are over there dancing and 201 00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:12,600 Speaker 2: they're having fun. And I didn't let the play by 202 00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:15,200 Speaker 2: play guy finished saying what happened because I was so 203 00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:18,760 Speaker 2: excited of what just happened on the field. So learning 204 00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:22,360 Speaker 2: that cadence of like it's okay when Mike Keith stopped talking, 205 00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:24,560 Speaker 2: stops talking, I can give it a breath before I 206 00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:26,760 Speaker 2: say all right on this play, X, Y, and Z happened, 207 00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:29,400 Speaker 2: just to make sure he's done, and then the other part 208 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:31,520 Speaker 2: on the other end is shutting up where I may 209 00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:33,880 Speaker 2: have this great point to make, and they just broke. 210 00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:35,800 Speaker 2: They walked, they broke the huddle on there walking to 211 00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:37,480 Speaker 2: the line of scrimmage. I have to let him set 212 00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:39,760 Speaker 2: the play up and be able to tell people, especially 213 00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:43,320 Speaker 2: if it's the radio, because they can't see what's going on. Now. 214 00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:45,920 Speaker 2: Next thing you know, there's a whole play happening and 215 00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:48,600 Speaker 2: they have no idea what just happened. So you have 216 00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:51,000 Speaker 2: to let the play by play guy do his thing. 217 00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:56,160 Speaker 1: Jason mccordy will now expand his repertoire on CBS. You'll 218 00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:59,480 Speaker 1: be calling games on Sunday. You're with Chris Lewis, and 219 00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:02,160 Speaker 1: you have a third partner, right Ross Tucker. Ross Tucker, 220 00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:05,400 Speaker 1: who's a good guy. How have you been preparing to 221 00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:06,320 Speaker 1: take on that role. 222 00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:09,360 Speaker 2: I'm still figuring that out. So the way I've gone 223 00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:12,200 Speaker 2: about it, Robbie, who works in our PR department, he 224 00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:14,800 Speaker 2: connected me with Charles Davis. So I was with Charles 225 00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:17,160 Speaker 2: out in LA. We had an NFL Network talent summit, 226 00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:19,480 Speaker 2: so I just peppered him with questions for ten minutes. 227 00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:21,680 Speaker 2: I had already had my document filled out of everything 228 00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:24,040 Speaker 2: I wanted to ask him. I just had a conversation 229 00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:26,960 Speaker 2: with the partner, Ross Tucker, for about twenty minutes of 230 00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:30,240 Speaker 2: asking him a ton of questions. So that's how I'm preparing. Obviously, 231 00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:32,960 Speaker 2: the easy part is the watching film part. You're watching 232 00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:35,800 Speaker 2: football and you're learning, especially the college part because I've 233 00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:37,880 Speaker 2: been in the NFL for the past thirteen years, so 234 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,880 Speaker 2: going back watching and the names part is going to 235 00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:44,040 Speaker 2: be the toughest thing of figuring out all the names. 236 00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:46,480 Speaker 2: The NFL isn't as hard because I talk about it 237 00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:49,959 Speaker 2: every single day, all of the guys, and then from playing, 238 00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,480 Speaker 2: you know more than just the superstars, and you probably 239 00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:54,559 Speaker 2: yourself on that. So that's been my problem. 240 00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:57,080 Speaker 1: So you guys are also going to do some college Yeah, 241 00:10:57,600 --> 00:10:58,679 Speaker 1: where are you going to do that? 242 00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:02,559 Speaker 2: There'll be some big ten games stuff figuring. I'm sorry, 243 00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:05,800 Speaker 2: I apologies, no, no. So it's it's been a ton 244 00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:10,319 Speaker 2: of fun, of excitement, but very nervous of seeing how 245 00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:12,680 Speaker 2: it's going to be calling the game for a radio. 246 00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:15,720 Speaker 2: Someone's listening, you know, Mike, someone's listening. They can't see 247 00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:18,080 Speaker 2: the game, so it's up to you to be extremely 248 00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:20,719 Speaker 2: descriptive and set the scene for them. Well, now, when 249 00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:22,960 Speaker 2: you call the game on a TV, somebody's watching it, 250 00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:26,080 Speaker 2: and your producer dials up a replay and he's showing 251 00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:28,760 Speaker 2: how the offensive line made a great pull block. But 252 00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:30,960 Speaker 2: on the play, I was looking at the corner covering. 253 00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:33,080 Speaker 2: I can't talk about the corner what he just did 254 00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:35,520 Speaker 2: when the people at home are watching the offensive line. 255 00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:37,280 Speaker 2: And so those are the tricks of the trade that 256 00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:39,160 Speaker 2: I'm going to really have to learn. And I think 257 00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:41,360 Speaker 2: the one good thing is having other people in it. 258 00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:43,520 Speaker 2: You can learn and ask them questions as long as 259 00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:46,000 Speaker 2: you're able to humble yourself and realize you're not the 260 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,800 Speaker 2: best thing to step into booth since they created football. 261 00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:52,760 Speaker 3: How much does your skill set, which I think it 262 00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:56,360 Speaker 3: really is a skill set of preparing for games help 263 00:11:56,440 --> 00:12:01,120 Speaker 3: you now preparing for shows or games or whatever. 264 00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:02,920 Speaker 1: You're obviously looking. 265 00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:05,800 Speaker 3: At very different things, but you'd think that kind of 266 00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:07,679 Speaker 3: the routine is the same, right. 267 00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:10,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, very much. So when you're watching film, you're not 268 00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:12,480 Speaker 2: just looking at the ball, but you're looking at the 269 00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:14,880 Speaker 2: all twenty two players on the field and seeing what 270 00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:17,640 Speaker 2: they're doing. And not only the film part. Just my 271 00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:20,160 Speaker 2: thirteen years in the league, and I always joke with 272 00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:22,640 Speaker 2: my brother he spent all thirteen years in New England. 273 00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:24,520 Speaker 2: Belichick was his head coach, and it was more or 274 00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:27,800 Speaker 2: less the same system. Fortunate for me now as you transition, 275 00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:31,160 Speaker 2: I've played for probably eight different head coaches, four or 276 00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:34,600 Speaker 2: five different general managers, so you get the perspective of 277 00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:37,559 Speaker 2: so many different people that now when you watch football, 278 00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:39,719 Speaker 2: I think a little bit about what Dick Lebo used 279 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:41,760 Speaker 2: to teach me in a defensive meeting room, but then 280 00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:43,640 Speaker 2: I go to what Bill Belichick said. Oh, then I 281 00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:46,520 Speaker 2: had Greg Williams in Cleveland, So you have all of 282 00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:49,760 Speaker 2: these personalities and different ways they go about things that 283 00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:52,240 Speaker 2: are all in your head that when you see a play, 284 00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:54,600 Speaker 2: you think about a million different things that you can 285 00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:55,760 Speaker 2: talk about on that one player. 286 00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:57,920 Speaker 1: Well, and you've been through it, yeah, I mean, considering 287 00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:01,040 Speaker 1: you were a six round pick thrown into the fire 288 00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:04,520 Speaker 1: as a rookie, you became a starter and one of 289 00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:08,319 Speaker 1: this team's leaders. You went to Cleveland for what turned 290 00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:12,080 Speaker 1: out to be a historically bad season, you join your brother, 291 00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:15,559 Speaker 1: you win the Super Bowl. I mean it's like you've 292 00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:19,079 Speaker 1: seen all of it over thirteen years. You can reference 293 00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:24,400 Speaker 1: in your memory something, yeah, at any level of football 294 00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:26,559 Speaker 1: and say, well, I've sort of been through this. Here's 295 00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:29,679 Speaker 1: what's happening there. I mean, what a library. 296 00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:32,160 Speaker 2: You have, that's the fun part. My last year in Miami, 297 00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:34,520 Speaker 2: it was my thirteenth year. I'm thirty four. We had 298 00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:37,400 Speaker 2: drafted a kid, Javon Holland there, who was a rookie. 299 00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:40,120 Speaker 2: He was born in two thousand, like literally, that's the 300 00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:43,920 Speaker 2: age difference. And you're sitting there and when you become 301 00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:47,360 Speaker 2: older as a vet. To your point, it's all about storytelling. 302 00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:50,080 Speaker 2: So as different things come up. You're telling a story 303 00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:52,760 Speaker 2: about a guy my second year in Tennessee, a guy 304 00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:55,680 Speaker 2: like maybe a Keith Bullock or Javon Curs or Kyle 305 00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:58,280 Speaker 2: Van Denbosch. I tell people all the time KVB. I 306 00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:00,520 Speaker 2: get here my rookie year, and he was obviously you 307 00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:02,559 Speaker 2: know how hard he worked. He'd be in the weight 308 00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:04,640 Speaker 2: room and then we go out there for practice and 309 00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:06,960 Speaker 2: his eyes were bloodshot red, and I was just like, 310 00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:10,280 Speaker 2: why is his eyes red? Is he okay? And they 311 00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:11,920 Speaker 2: were like they were like, no, those are the red 312 00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:13,440 Speaker 2: contacts you can get. I was like, well, we didn't 313 00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:15,800 Speaker 2: have those at Ruckers. So I've never never. 314 00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:16,199 Speaker 1: Heard about this. 315 00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:19,520 Speaker 2: So just the ability to be able to tell a 316 00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:22,240 Speaker 2: story about something that a guy might be going through 317 00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:24,640 Speaker 2: and it's just like, well, what you're going through, somebody 318 00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:26,760 Speaker 2: else has already gone through. Whether it's on the football 319 00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:30,240 Speaker 2: field dealing with management, contract coaches, or whether it's in 320 00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:33,160 Speaker 2: your personal life dealing with a significant other, welcome in 321 00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:36,000 Speaker 2: a new baby, or something of that nature. You can 322 00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:38,520 Speaker 2: give a guy advice, whether you experience it or you 323 00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:40,720 Speaker 2: know somebody that experienced it, that goes a long way. 324 00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:44,560 Speaker 1: This is the OTP with Jason mccordy, former Titan great 325 00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:48,360 Speaker 1: and now part of NFL Network and CBS Sports.

I don't know what this is. 328 00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:55,600 Speaker 1: And that's what I tell Charles.

We've really upped 387 00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:38,800 Speaker 3: our game in a variety of ways. 388 00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:41,640 Speaker 2: Derek's clothes wouldn't fit me. Some of those outphas they're 389 00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:44,960 Speaker 2: so tight.

The one morning they had 396 00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:10,160 Speaker 1: you sing I remember, it's. 397 00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:12,240 Speaker 2: Not gonna be a clip, no, no, a clip. 398 00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:15,639 Speaker 1: But it was. It was fantastic. You got Jamie Ardhal 399 00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:20,040 Speaker 1: laughing so hard she basically couldn't finish the rest. 400 00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:21,879 Speaker 2: I said, it was fantastic. 401 00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:22,800 Speaker 1: It was fantastic. 402 00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:24,800 Speaker 2: My wife did not share a little suddenly, did not 403 00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:25,600 Speaker 2: at all. 404 00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:29,680 Speaker 1: It was great. But I mean, you do some goofy stuff, 405 00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:33,280 Speaker 1: you do some hardcore football, you do a lot of 406 00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:37,000 Speaker 1: things in the middle, you talk fantasy. I mean, is 407 00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:39,520 Speaker 1: that one of the allures of doing the show? 408 00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:42,760 Speaker 2: I don't even know. I knew the extent of the 409 00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:45,240 Speaker 2: things we were going to be doing. What I love 410 00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:48,880 Speaker 2: about it is it's an opportunity to not be too 411 00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:53,040 Speaker 2: cool for school. Me singing on national television as horrible 412 00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:55,240 Speaker 2: as a voice as I have, but being able to 413 00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:57,320 Speaker 2: laugh through it and kind of make fun of yourself 414 00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:00,359 Speaker 2: is just awesome. And like you said, I after that 415 00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:02,640 Speaker 2: we share on that show are genuine because it's all live. 416 00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:05,600 Speaker 2: There's nothing that's taped. So when Jamie standing behind me 417 00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:08,200 Speaker 2: listening to me saying how bad it is, but seeing 418 00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:11,240 Speaker 2: how hard I'm going for it, she's dying laughing. We 419 00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:14,240 Speaker 2: had a segment Tom Pellisaro was on the show this 420 00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:16,600 Speaker 2: week and we were coming up with different names for 421 00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:19,440 Speaker 2: past catching running backs because the game has changed so much, 422 00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:21,800 Speaker 2: and Peli Sero goes first and he comes up and 423 00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:25,080 Speaker 2: he goes, I'm gonna call running back swingers. And from 424 00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:30,120 Speaker 2: that point on, yes, the entire segment went nothing to. 425 00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:32,920 Speaker 1: Do with football that went wrong. 426 00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:34,840 Speaker 2: All I looked at was Kyle Branton and I was like, 427 00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:36,720 Speaker 2: I can't wait to see what you have to say 428 00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:39,080 Speaker 2: about this, and he continued to say he has a 429 00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:42,679 Speaker 2: giant pineapple outside his door and him and his skip Ford. 430 00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:45,560 Speaker 2: So that part of the show, and that's the part 431 00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:47,600 Speaker 2: I think when we're playing her, even for you guys, 432 00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:49,679 Speaker 2: when you're doing this on an everyday basis, like, no, 433 00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:51,119 Speaker 2: I can do more than just talk about for a 434 00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:53,200 Speaker 2: while about the interests. I like to laugh about things, 435 00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:54,919 Speaker 2: and that show allows us to do it. 436 00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:57,960 Speaker 1: But when Kay and Nate were there and now with 437 00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:02,760 Speaker 1: you and Jamie and Kyle and Peter all the way through. 438 00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:06,200 Speaker 1: I have liked the balance of that chow because that 439 00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:10,119 Speaker 1: could get with people who take the NFL as seriously 440 00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:13,440 Speaker 1: as we do. It could go horribly wrong if you 441 00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:17,919 Speaker 1: stray too far, but you have just the right amount 442 00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:19,520 Speaker 1: of goofiness. Does that make sense? 443 00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:22,080 Speaker 2: It definitely makes sense. And we're show that's on all 444 00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:24,960 Speaker 2: year round round, so we're on in the off season. 445 00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:27,760 Speaker 2: So we have to do a Star Wars segment in 446 00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:30,359 Speaker 2: the off season sometime in May to just switch it 447 00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:32,360 Speaker 2: up and then bring it back to football. I think 448 00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:34,919 Speaker 2: that's the key thing, is we find ways. Whether we 449 00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:37,480 Speaker 2: talked about our summer vacation, we were all and we're 450 00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:40,000 Speaker 2: putting pictures up, but we're relating them to storylines that 451 00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:42,320 Speaker 2: are going on in the NFL. It may not be 452 00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:44,919 Speaker 2: for everybody, but I think it's seven o'clock in the 453 00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:47,800 Speaker 2: morning Eastern time when we come on air six o'clock here. 454 00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:49,880 Speaker 2: So if I'm waking up and I want, I may 455 00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:52,240 Speaker 2: not want the x's and o's of how the Tennessee 456 00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:54,439 Speaker 2: Titans are going to beat to Houston Texans this Sunday, 457 00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:56,480 Speaker 2: and that DeAndre Hopkins has to run it out and 458 00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:58,440 Speaker 2: it may be like, let me wake up, let me 459 00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:00,240 Speaker 2: have a couple of coffee first, and then you see 460 00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:02,879 Speaker 2: something pop culture wise and you're cracking up laughing. I 461 00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:05,080 Speaker 2: think that's the part of it. Whether we're talking about 462 00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:07,840 Speaker 2: and we go onto archives with NFL films, old players, 463 00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:10,360 Speaker 2: different things. We try to keep it fresh and original. 464 00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:15,080 Speaker 1: Last, Good Morning football question, best in studio guests since 465 00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:15,720 Speaker 1: you've been there? 466 00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:19,880 Speaker 2: Oh wow, we had I'll go with football one right now. 467 00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:22,840 Speaker 2: But we had who do we just have?

Three grimlins, got 518 00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:37,160 Speaker 2: a wife. It's a lot going on. But I've never 519 00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:38,520 Speaker 2: liked the taste of coffee. 520 00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:41,359 Speaker 3: Well, nobody likes the taste of coffee. 521 00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:43,639 Speaker 1: I love coffee as long as it's for Duncan. 522 00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:46,959 Speaker 2: See now, see you go and grab your coffee. I'm 523 00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:49,960 Speaker 2: gonna get myself a vanilla frosted donut, maybe some sprinkles 524 00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:52,280 Speaker 2: on top, and I'm all set. I get there's a 525 00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:54,960 Speaker 2: little sugar in that, but I can't coffee. I can't 526 00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:57,879 Speaker 2: do like if I'm absolutely dead tired, I can do 527 00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:00,719 Speaker 2: an energy drink of something more. 528 00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:02,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm sorry that. 529 00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:05,840 Speaker 2: Just exploded. 530 00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:12,040 Speaker 1: You're here, you've seen the Titans, albeit briefly. Anything surprise 531 00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:13,960 Speaker 1: you surprise me. 532 00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:17,840 Speaker 2: I'll seeing DeAndre Hopkins out here is just really cool. 533 00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:21,600 Speaker 2: I think for me. Hop came into Houston when I 534 00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:24,120 Speaker 2: was here. I can still remember. I hate to talk 535 00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:27,440 Speaker 2: about this. We're playing down in Houston. We go into overtime. 536 00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:29,239 Speaker 2: They bring this rookie in and I'm like, all right, 537 00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:31,840 Speaker 2: he's on my side, and we lose the game because 538 00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:33,640 Speaker 2: I have him covered in the back of the end zone. 539 00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:36,280 Speaker 2: He goes up, catches it up top, gets his feet in, 540 00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:39,280 Speaker 2: and you that plane ride home when you just lost 541 00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:41,719 Speaker 2: the game. As one of the leaders players there was 542 00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:44,200 Speaker 2: just awful. And those were the battles with him as 543 00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:46,359 Speaker 2: we were laughing about it out there on the field, 544 00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:48,399 Speaker 2: I was I always felt like I covered him well, 545 00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:50,960 Speaker 2: but I couldn't finish the play because somehow he would 546 00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:54,000 Speaker 2: come down with the ball. So coming into practice, it's 547 00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:55,800 Speaker 2: almost like one of those things where you're like you 548 00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:58,200 Speaker 2: see he signed, You're like, but he's not gonna he's 549 00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:00,000 Speaker 2: not gonna be there. And then you come out here 550 00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:01,840 Speaker 2: and you see him, and I know there's so many 551 00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:04,240 Speaker 2: people that say, like, hey, when he was in Arizona, 552 00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:07,480 Speaker 2: this guy didn't practice, and he's out here working hard, 553 00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:10,560 Speaker 2: working his butt off in the slot outside one on ones. 554 00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:12,679 Speaker 2: I saw him tweet the other day like and they 555 00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:16,119 Speaker 2: say I don't practice after making a beautiful catch on 556 00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:18,680 Speaker 2: fullland and one on one drill. So I think that 557 00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:21,160 Speaker 2: wasn't a surprise. But the feeling that gave me when 558 00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:23,120 Speaker 2: I walked in here and I saw him out there 559 00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:25,440 Speaker 2: was just like I got a little giddy inside to 560 00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:28,840 Speaker 2: see he's gonna be wearing number ten for the Tennessee Titans. 561 00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:31,600 Speaker 2: I'll say another guy, arden Key was a guy that 562 00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:35,399 Speaker 2: he's a ball of energy. I said what's up to him? 563 00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:37,720 Speaker 2: After he's oh, what's up? Man, I was just like, Oh, okay, 564 00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:41,879 Speaker 2: don't hit me, don't hurt me. But I called two 565 00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:44,840 Speaker 2: of three or four of Jacksonville's games last year and 566 00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:50,080 Speaker 2: he's a monster. And him coming over here, Howard Landry 567 00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:53,760 Speaker 2: being back off injury from the ACL obviously Simmons Jeffrey 568 00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:56,560 Speaker 2: Simmons in the middle. I'm excited about that. In the 569 00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:59,040 Speaker 2: defensive front. What can happen up front? How are you 570 00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:01,760 Speaker 2: gonna run the ball in these guys? Tier Tart you 571 00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:05,480 Speaker 2: called his interception last year? It was a beautiful those 572 00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:07,879 Speaker 2: guys up front, It's gonna just be awesome to watch. 573 00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:09,600 Speaker 1: You got a football question? 574 00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:11,840 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, no, I definitely have a football question. 575 00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:12,199 Speaker 1: Thank you. 576 00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:14,679 Speaker 3: I know you got really excited because he said you 577 00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:14,919 Speaker 3: had to. 578 00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:15,960 Speaker 1: I get it. 579 00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:19,639 Speaker 3: We you and I were able to do a little 580 00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:20,960 Speaker 3: a little chat back and. 581 00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:22,840 Speaker 2: Forth and one of the things that. 582 00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:31,080 Speaker 3: Network for exactly thirty five seconds, and it was true. Yeah, 583 00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:34,679 Speaker 3: it was magnificent. But I, honest to God, only did 584 00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:36,960 Speaker 3: it because j Mack was coming to do. Oh yeah, 585 00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:39,159 Speaker 3: so that's the real thing I wanted. I wanted to 586 00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:42,119 Speaker 3: hang out with my friend for a while. But you 587 00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:44,720 Speaker 3: and I had the opportunity to talk about Ryan Tannehill 588 00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:48,880 Speaker 3: and what this camp means to him and just all 589 00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:51,479 Speaker 3: of the pieces that seemed to be coming together for 590 00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:54,520 Speaker 3: him this season. How exciting is it to watch an 591 00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:58,960 Speaker 3: offense kind of form and grow almost right before your 592 00:26:58,960 --> 00:26:59,840 Speaker 3: eyes here at camp. 593 00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:02,240 Speaker 2: It's awesome and I think they're part of that. Especially 594 00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:03,719 Speaker 2: for Tannel. This is a guy who went through some 595 00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:06,520 Speaker 2: injuries last year, and just you think about how he 596 00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:09,000 Speaker 2: got here. He came here from Miami, came here to 597 00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:11,479 Speaker 2: be the backup to Mario, to gets in and just 598 00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:14,560 Speaker 2: starts killing it. And now next thing you know, last 599 00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:16,679 Speaker 2: year they draft Maleak Willis in the third round and 600 00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:18,639 Speaker 2: all the hype that was around Maleak coming out of 601 00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:22,320 Speaker 2: Liberty and there was Tannehill about being a mentor all 602 00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:25,280 Speaker 2: that other nonsense. And then the next year they draft 603 00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:27,680 Speaker 2: will Levis and Tannehill is still the guy in the front. 604 00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:30,520 Speaker 2: And you think about this training camp in this season 605 00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:32,680 Speaker 2: for him, He's a guy, he's thirty five years old, 606 00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:35,160 Speaker 2: he's a veteran in this league. He started in every 607 00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:37,280 Speaker 2: place he's been in, So whatever you want to think 608 00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:39,520 Speaker 2: about him, this is a guy that's been a leader 609 00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:42,800 Speaker 2: and a consistent player throughout his career. And sometimes we 610 00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:46,480 Speaker 2: overlook consistency because we see the amazing play by Patrick 611 00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:49,960 Speaker 2: Mahomes or Josh Allen jump over somebody. This is a 612 00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:51,840 Speaker 2: guy that has been able to play at a high 613 00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:54,080 Speaker 2: level for a long time. And if you're him and 614 00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:56,600 Speaker 2: I haven't asked him personally. But if I'm him, I'm 615 00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:58,679 Speaker 2: coming into this season. I'm fired up to be around 616 00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:00,720 Speaker 2: my guys, but there's a little part of me that's 617 00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:03,160 Speaker 2: pissed off. Like I love my Titans, but I'm also 618 00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:05,400 Speaker 2: coming in to show y'all that I'm the guy, like, hey, 619 00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:07,800 Speaker 2: I love will back here, I love Malague. I'm gonna 620 00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:09,920 Speaker 2: bring him along with me, but like, you're not gonna 621 00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:11,879 Speaker 2: need them to play until I'm ready to hang them up. 622 00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:14,119 Speaker 2: And if I'm Tannehill, that's the approach I have. And 623 00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:16,679 Speaker 2: I get a guy like DeAndre Hopkins, I'm working with him. 624 00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:20,040 Speaker 2: I'm building that connection, and I'm pulling Traylon Burks aside too, 625 00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:22,240 Speaker 2: like come on, like this is year two, you're gonna 626 00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:24,439 Speaker 2: be taking the next step, and now he comes in. 627 00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:26,880 Speaker 2: Burkes is now I know the expectations of what it's 628 00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:30,199 Speaker 2: like to be an NFL player versus last year. You 629 00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:33,199 Speaker 2: have this starring AJ Brown and he's traded around the 630 00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:35,000 Speaker 2: draft and the next thing you know, they draft unit. 631 00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:37,200 Speaker 2: Just all right, he's AJ Brown's the placement. Get in 632 00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:38,760 Speaker 2: there and do what he just did, and it's just like, well, 633 00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:40,760 Speaker 2: I'm still a rookie. I'm still figuring this thing out, 634 00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:43,480 Speaker 2: so I'm excited as hell for him. Roger McCurry on 635 00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:45,960 Speaker 2: the other side, guys in that next step who had 636 00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:48,600 Speaker 2: good rookie years. Chick O Conkwall like, hey, you know 637 00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:50,480 Speaker 2: this kid was and he's out here making one hand 638 00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:52,960 Speaker 2: catches on his helmet. So that part of the game, 639 00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:55,240 Speaker 2: being out here at training camp, seeing it up close 640 00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:57,920 Speaker 2: and personal, seeing that Derek Henry is still bigger than 641 00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:00,280 Speaker 2: everybody else around him, that part of his been a 642 00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:00,760 Speaker 2: lot of fun. 643 00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:03,960 Speaker 1: I guess the last two Titans on the roster, you 644 00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:05,640 Speaker 1: played with Derrick Henry and. 645 00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:08,000 Speaker 2: Kevin byrt yep their rookie years, and. 646 00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:10,680 Speaker 1: You think about the success that they have had. 647 00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:13,920 Speaker 2: I was with Kevin Bayer at the NFLPA meetings and 648 00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:16,600 Speaker 2: we're talking about this past season, and whenever I talk 649 00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:18,680 Speaker 2: about my Titans days, as soon as you guys see me, 650 00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:20,360 Speaker 2: you're like, yeah, it was it was. It was rough 651 00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:22,360 Speaker 2: while you were here. I'm sitting with the media and 652 00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:24,480 Speaker 2: they have the good Guy Award now, and the first 653 00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:26,120 Speaker 2: thing I think, Teresa says to me, it's like, too 654 00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:27,560 Speaker 2: bad they didn't have it when you were around, because 655 00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:29,680 Speaker 2: it was hard then to talk to the media and 656 00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:32,840 Speaker 2: me and keV are talking and I didn't even realize it. 657 00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:36,200 Speaker 2: Last year was his worst season as a Tennessee Titan, 658 00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:39,040 Speaker 2: and his expectation of what it means to be here 659 00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:41,800 Speaker 2: is way different than mine. And it was cool to 660 00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:43,560 Speaker 2: hear him say that of just like, we got to 661 00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:46,560 Speaker 2: get back to the standard, because the standard is different now. 662 00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:48,719 Speaker 2: This is a team where it's not just like, all right, 663 00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:50,880 Speaker 2: we win seven or eight games in our world, Okay, 664 00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:53,800 Speaker 2: Like no, we're chasing a championship with Super Bowl, and 665 00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:54,800 Speaker 2: that's where we're trying to get to. 666 00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:57,720 Speaker 1: Well, I think, though, what was so important about you 667 00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:01,320 Speaker 1: and Delaney and you know, several of those other guys 668 00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:05,000 Speaker 1: of that eras you held us together through some rough stuff. 669 00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:07,360 Speaker 1: I mean, the Ken Wizen Hunt thing didn't go well nope, 670 00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:11,720 Speaker 1: And you know John Robinson came in and obviously Amy 671 00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:14,800 Speaker 1: Adam Strunk had taken over the franchise, and John always 672 00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:17,600 Speaker 1: said he goes listen, I inherited some solid players and 673 00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:21,360 Speaker 1: some solid people. We didn't have to fix the locker room, 674 00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:23,960 Speaker 1: and that was a lot because of you and those 675 00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:26,720 Speaker 1: other guys. And I know a Super Bowl ring means more, 676 00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:28,440 Speaker 1: but you sure should be proud of that. Too. 677 00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:31,560 Speaker 2: Oh No. When I retired, I got the questions of 678 00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:34,480 Speaker 2: just like, where's home for you? As far as playing, 679 00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:36,840 Speaker 2: I was like, I played eight years here. This is 680 00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:38,840 Speaker 2: a team that gave me a chance with a two 681 00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:41,360 Speaker 2: hundred and third pick in the two thousand and nine draft. 682 00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:44,040 Speaker 2: I got married here. All three of my kids were 683 00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:46,800 Speaker 2: born in Franklin, in the hospital there. So this for 684 00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:49,800 Speaker 2: me is always will be home.

It's tough, sure it is, 690 00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:09,440 Speaker 2: but you still find ways to find enjoyment and doing 691 00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:12,480 Speaker 2: something that you grew up dreaming about doing, and it 692 00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:15,760 Speaker 2: brings you closer together because everybody on the outside is 693 00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:18,560 Speaker 2: just pointing fingers and talking about you.

So of course, 725 00:32:59,840 --> 00:33:02,600 Speaker 2: I think when you get a chance to be around 726 00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:04,920 Speaker 2: so many people that you know and that you love, 727 00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:07,040 Speaker 2: like when the Titans are playing, i may have never 728 00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:10,680 Speaker 2: spent time with Ryan Tannehill as my quarterback, but as 729 00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:13,680 Speaker 2: I'm watching that game, I'm like Jared Puffer in the 730 00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:16,040 Speaker 2: media department, if he can go and win a Super Bowl, 731 00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:18,440 Speaker 2: if Mike Keith amy Wells. There's so many people team 732 00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:21,200 Speaker 2: of Tuggle behind the scenes that you're around Matt and 733 00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:24,080 Speaker 2: Joey in the curvent room like you're rooting for the 734 00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:27,520 Speaker 2: team because you so badly want to see everybody within 735 00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:30,920 Speaker 2: the organization win. Because when we were two and fourteen, 736 00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:35,120 Speaker 2: it wasn't like it wasn't like Todd Torselli and talking 737 00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:37,400 Speaker 2: the training room or Matt. It wasn't like they were 738 00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:39,800 Speaker 2: in the training room and they weren't training as hard 739 00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:42,480 Speaker 2: because we weren't a good football team. Everybody still shows 740 00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:44,920 Speaker 2: up here earliest heck in the morning. You're still putting 741 00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:46,720 Speaker 2: the same amount of work, and then you're not getting 742 00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:49,320 Speaker 2: the results. So even the year I went in Cleveland 743 00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:52,680 Speaker 2: and I get released here after my eighth year, I 744 00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:54,920 Speaker 2: go to Cleveland, we don't win a single game. And 745 00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:58,040 Speaker 2: here I am sitting in Cleveland as negative feels like 746 00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:00,840 Speaker 2: negative ten outside, we're watching the Titans playoffs, and I'm 747 00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:03,880 Speaker 2: just like and just perfect. The year before I got here, 748 00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:06,840 Speaker 2: they went to the playoffs. The year after I leave, 749 00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:09,600 Speaker 2: they go back to the playoffs. But even as you're 750 00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:11,960 Speaker 2: watching and you're pissed off that you got cut, but 751 00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:14,400 Speaker 2: then you're watching the game and Jirell Casey gets a 752 00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:16,960 Speaker 2: sack or a rack pole or Wesley Woodyard, I'm just like, 753 00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:19,560 Speaker 2: those are my guys. I got so badly want them 754 00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:21,879 Speaker 2: to win because a guy like Casey, like we were 755 00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:24,000 Speaker 2: here in the struggle together, Like I want to see 756 00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:26,800 Speaker 2: those guys succeed. So it's always had that balance. 757 00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:29,920 Speaker 1: That's cool. Do you still have the Oilers jersey from 758 00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:30,759 Speaker 1: two thousand. 759 00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:32,839 Speaker 2: And I got the helmet too.
