1
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:16,040
Speaker 1: The OTP for July the twenty sixth, first day of

2
00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:20,239
Speaker 1: training camp. It's here, Mike, Keith, Amy, Wells, well Hell,

3
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:23,880
Speaker 1: Jim Wyatt in the house and the house. Glad to

4
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:27,159
Speaker 1: have you with us as we recap day one of

5
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:32,000
Speaker 1: training camp. I guess the first thing that jumps out

6
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:37,200
Speaker 1: tailor to one. He was there, which is a good sign.

7
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:40,519
Speaker 1: He didn't do as much as he will do moving forward,

8
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:42,960
Speaker 1: but he said he thought it was potentially because of

9
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:46,320
Speaker 1: the contract situation. Mike Vrabel said it had more to

10
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:48,320
Speaker 1: do with the fact that he wasn't here during the

11
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:50,840
Speaker 1: June mini camps and will be eased in a little

12
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:53,560
Speaker 1: bit more. But the fact that he's here, I think

13
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:56,160
Speaker 1: is a good sign moving forward for negotiations, and it's

14
00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:58,280
Speaker 1: a good sign for this football team because you need

15
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 1: your starting left tackle, one of the best tackers in

16
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 1: the league as part of this team. Abe Wells, were

17
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 1: you surprised that Taylor to one reported on time, I

18
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 1: really wasn't. It doesn't seem to be in Taylor's nature

19
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:12,959
Speaker 1: to not want to be with his guys and be

20
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:16,200
Speaker 1: with his team. John Robinson said yesterday that they've made

21
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:19,760
Speaker 1: a lot of progress in those contract conversations that they've

22
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:22,039
Speaker 1: been having. So I think if there was a way

23
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:24,760
Speaker 1: for Taylor to be here and not lose too much

24
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:27,399
Speaker 1: ground from a negotiating standpoint, he was going to be here.

25
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 1: It felt as though he had played the holdout card

26
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 1: at the end of the off season program, the last

27
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:38,119
Speaker 1: week of the off season, and then the mandatory minicamp,

28
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 1: and at that point it was going to be hard

29
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:45,199
Speaker 1: for him to do that again entering training camp knowing

30
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 1: that he does have a nine point three four one

31
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 1: million dollar agreement for this year already in place. Yeah,

32
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 1: and I think he's made a little bit of a

33
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 1: statement by not being here. Hey, you remember me, I've

34
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 1: got to contract the situation coming up that i'd like

35
00:01:57,440 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 1: to see taking care of. But I don't think you're

36
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 1: gonna push that too far because I don't know how

37
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 1: John Robinson, Van Marino, you know, Mike Vrabel, how they

38
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 1: would have handled it if he'd have been away. I

39
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 1: don't know that would have paid off. He'd have stayed

40
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:11,800
Speaker 1: away and tried to set this thing out for a

41
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 1: long time. I think they want players that are here,

42
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 1: and if you're here working, then we'll continue to talk

43
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:18,920
Speaker 1: about a contract and hopefully it gets worked out for

44
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:22,679
Speaker 1: both sides. You know, it sounds like things are progressing.

45
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:25,920
Speaker 1: You know, worst case scenarios, he'd not show up and

46
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:28,680
Speaker 1: then you have a long term distraction. But like the

47
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:31,920
Speaker 1: fact that he's here and you know, and now you

48
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:33,959
Speaker 1: keep your fingers cross hope a contract gets done and

49
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:36,079
Speaker 1: hope that Jack Cockley can get back out there sooner

50
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 1: or later, because it's kind of weird to day watching practices. Yes,

51
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:40,679
Speaker 1: he was here, but most of the day you had

52
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:45,080
Speaker 1: Dennis Kelly, Kevin Pamfield working at the tackle spot. Kevin

53
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 1: Dodd not here waved let know that he would be

54
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 1: waved late Tuesday after we tape the OTP on Monday.

55
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 1: I don't think any of us were surprised by that. No,

56
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 1: I don't think so. Jim I was not surprised. I mean,

57
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 1: I think it just got to the point where they'd

58
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 1: worked with him so much and invested a lot of

59
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 1: time in him. John Robinson very I think he's got

60
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:14,800
Speaker 1: a closer relationship with Kevin Dodd working with him felt

61
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 1: like watching him and the coaching staff last year and

62
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 1: not he was shorting or trying to sell the staff

63
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 1: short last year. But I think he felt like he

64
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 1: could do some things to help him with his career.

65
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:27,359
Speaker 1: He did that. I think Kevin Dodd was not here

66
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 1: during the offseason. He was later report to camp. I

67
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:34,080
Speaker 1: just think they felt like, you know, this is not

68
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 1: having any more to strike his moving forward. Let's give

69
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 1: Kevin didd a chance to to try to start somewhere

70
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 1: for us. It's kind of sad it didn't work out.

71
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 1: I like Kevin Dodd. I think he's a pretty I

72
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 1: think he's a good guy, but just didn't work here.

73
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 1: And I like the way John Robinson kind of sto

74
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 1: stood up and said, hey, this is on me. Got

75
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 1: to do a better job scouting players. It's not all

76
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 1: on him, but Kevin Dodd's got to do his part

77
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 1: as well. But I shought that showed great accountability Robinson

78
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 1: handling it. That was a pr lesson to everybody out there,

79
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 1: because at that point, when you step up and you're

80
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 1: accountable and you say it didn't work, it's my fault.

81
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 1: What else can anybody say? There's nothing more you can say.

82
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 1: You can't say, well, it didn't work, yep said that, Well,

83
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 1: it's all your fault. YEP said that too, Well, you

84
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:23,840
Speaker 1: need to go and do better going forward. Yep, said

85
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 1: that too. Done amazing. I just thought an amazing job

86
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 1: by John Robinson with the surprise appearance to just walk

87
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 1: up there and just drop the hammer the way he did.

88
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 1: Kind of typical John Robins, Yeah, no doubt. And if

89
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:40,039
Speaker 1: players see that, coaches will see that, and that's what

90
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:42,480
Speaker 1: he wants. He wants accountability. He wants guys who will

91
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 1: own up the mistakes. And if the GM's doing it,

92
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 1: then other guys ought to be doing it as well.

93
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:49,480
Speaker 1: And again, it's not all John Robinson's fault. I think

94
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 1: a lot of people felt like Kevin Dodd was going

95
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:54,280
Speaker 1: to be a hit in this draft and the injury

96
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 1: set him back. The fact that he just didn't do

97
00:04:57,080 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 1: enough to help himself set him back. And you know,

98
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 1: John Robins, I know, were moving forward. Just hopes another situation,

99
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 1: you know, doesn't play out like that one. All right.

100
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:09,479
Speaker 1: So all of those things were topics that were discussed

101
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:13,600
Speaker 1: on Day one. Busy day, but we had football, and

102
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 1: we had good football, and we had energy and we

103
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 1: had enthusiasm and we had day one for Mike Vrabell

104
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:24,280
Speaker 1: as the head coach in a training camp. Jim White,

105
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:27,720
Speaker 1: what jumped out to you. Well, Mike Vrabell be in

106
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 1: the middle of action, jumped out to me. But that's

107
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 1: nothing new. MICHAELM. Butler making a great play on the

108
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 1: ball happened. That's nothing new. We saw it in the

109
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 1: Super Bowl against the Seahawks when he was a Patriot

110
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,359
Speaker 1: a couple of years back, and a very similar play

111
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 1: played out on the practice field today. And what was

112
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:48,480
Speaker 1: the highlight of the first day training camp? He fast

113
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:51,799
Speaker 1: me he was just happened to be in the area

114
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:54,680
Speaker 1: where he was kind of drawing back and forth with receivers,

115
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:58,159
Speaker 1: the defensive back. Anybody would listen, wanting to take on

116
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:00,599
Speaker 1: Corey Davison one on one drill. As he kept saying,

117
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 1: let me show you how I earned my money. Let

118
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:04,359
Speaker 1: me show you how earn my money. He wanted to

119
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 1: see Corey Davis across from him in the one on

120
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:10,840
Speaker 1: one drills. He got his chance. Mario threw the ball

121
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:14,680
Speaker 1: to Corey Davis, Butler jumped the route, took the ball

122
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:17,039
Speaker 1: away from him, punted it high into the air. Carry

123
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 1: Combs was up jumping around with him. His teammates jumped

124
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 1: around in him, and it was the moment of the

125
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:25,159
Speaker 1: day of asked me, I caught up with Malcolm later.

126
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 1: You know, he talked about how much he loves Corey,

127
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 1: how much you respects them. He also talked about getting

128
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:34,120
Speaker 1: beat by Corey Davis in the playoff game last year.

129
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 1: Gave up a couple of touchdown catches and he wanted

130
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 1: a piece of them today. Now he's not gonna win

131
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 1: every battle against Corey Davis, but he won to day.

132
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:46,159
Speaker 1: You said it's the moment of practice, But was it

133
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:48,839
Speaker 1: the play of the day. I think it was the

134
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 1: play of the day. Now, Corey Davis later made it

135
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:53,719
Speaker 1: one handed rout I was gonna say, I thought the

136
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:57,560
Speaker 1: play of the day was to catch. Corey Davis made

137
00:06:57,560 --> 00:06:59,839
Speaker 1: around to Dory Jackson in the end zone, which was

138
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,599
Speaker 1: absolutely unreal. This is the second training camp in a

139
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:07,279
Speaker 1: row where Corey Davis has had some sort of bananas

140
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 1: acrobatic catch, and it's that feels like the worth the

141
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:14,680
Speaker 1: price of admission right there, just to watch Corey Davis

142
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 1: makes some sort of defying the laws of physics catch.

143
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 1: These defensive backs are for real. Oh they're here to play.

144
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 1: They jump routes. I mean, Logan Ryan had an interception today.

145
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 1: Dan Crookshank had an interception today, and it was a

146
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 1: heck of a catch by Davis. But I didn't talk

147
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 1: to him after prior because I have a feeling he'd

148
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 1: probably tell you it wasn't his best day because he

149
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 1: had a couple of balls he could have caught that

150
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 1: he was not able to pull him in. So and

151
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 1: I'm sure he probably gonna catch some heat from you know,

152
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 1: Rob Moore and the offensive staff about fighting for that

153
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 1: ball across the middle that Butler got him on. But

154
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 1: the heck of a play for Davis. He's gonna be

155
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 1: a great player. I like his aggressive this and I

156
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 1: think that play that Butler made on him is gonna

157
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 1: sharpen him even more. No, Richard Matthews today, the remains

158
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 1: sidelined with an injury, and that's a that's a big deal.

159
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 1: He's a player they're counting on. It's a concern. I mean, yes,

160
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 1: this team has young talent and Corey Davis and Taywan

161
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 1: Taylor and Taja Sharp, AND's good to see Michael Campernaro

162
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 1: back at and Dear's Jennings and Jordan VC and a

163
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 1: lot of these other guys who are competing. But shar

164
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 1: Matthews is the one proven receiver that's on this football team.

165
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 1: He didn't do much to the course the offseason team

166
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 1: needs him out there. Uh you know, it gets Miami

167
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 1: in Week one. You hope that he's gonna be out there,

168
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 1: you know, before long. But this thing has gone on

169
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:34,319
Speaker 1: for a while. They're gonna try to be patient with him.

170
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 1: But even when he comes back, he's got to catch up.

171
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:39,599
Speaker 1: So u not the best case scenario for him in

172
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 1: the receiving corps. Although Richard is a proven receiver, he

173
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:47,559
Speaker 1: is an older guy, so he knows how to get

174
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 1: those mental reps how to do that. This may be

175
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 1: kind of beneficial for some of those younger guys who

176
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 1: need the extra reps who are trying to earn their spot.

177
00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:58,640
Speaker 1: You know that Richard for the most part, can get

178
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:01,040
Speaker 1: up to speed well, and it may really be beneficial

179
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:05,840
Speaker 1: for is Taija sharp, Yeah, because Taija probably gets more

180
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 1: reps based on Rashard not being there due to due

181
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 1: to the fact that they basically play the same spot. Right,

182
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 1: So it may not be as concerning as it seems

183
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:20,199
Speaker 1: right now because a lot of the things he can

184
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:22,960
Speaker 1: fill in later once he gets back and knocks some

185
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:24,560
Speaker 1: of the rest off but it might be good for

186
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:25,960
Speaker 1: some of the younger guys who are trying to make

187
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 1: the team. That is the silver lining, and I mean

188
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:30,840
Speaker 1: the fact that other guys are getting reps. Some people

189
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:33,840
Speaker 1: are always asking what about does Bryant? What about this veteran?

190
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:35,959
Speaker 1: I think part of the reason that hasn't happened out

191
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 1: saying it's going to But I think the team wants

192
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:41,200
Speaker 1: to give some of these younger players a chance to

193
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:43,360
Speaker 1: get reps. You bring in somebody from the outside. Now

194
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:46,800
Speaker 1: you're taking away reps from from the Thaija sharps, as

195
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 1: you guys mentioned, So you want Rashard Matthews out there

196
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 1: in the meantime, these guys do get an opportunity that's

197
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 1: going to be valuable. How did first round pick linebacker

198
00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 1: Rashaan to Evans do today? I thought he did well.

199
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:01,320
Speaker 1: I mean he's so yeah. Him and Will Compton are

200
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 1: kind of going back and forth with the first team.

201
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 1: I thought Wesley Woodyard of the inside linebackers, stood out

202
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 1: to me most today, but Rashaun Evans showed up ready

203
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:12,760
Speaker 1: to go. We worked hard getting up to this point

204
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 1: and curious to see how competitions play out with us

205
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:19,320
Speaker 1: inside backer Some of these other spots that people are

206
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 1: fighting for on this football team. How long they go on?

207
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 1: You know, you'd like to see guys settle in by

208
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:27,079
Speaker 1: maybe third week of the preseason. And I think that

209
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:30,680
Speaker 1: Evans competence wanted to watch. Rashaun didn't look scared to

210
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:33,679
Speaker 1: me today. You know, a lot of rookie players come

211
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 1: in and a training camp is fast, and training camp

212
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:40,319
Speaker 1: is hard, and he looked very natural. There were a

213
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 1: couple of times I forgot, like, oh, he's never done

214
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 1: this before, So that's a good sign that he looks

215
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 1: so calm and in his right place so early. How

216
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:52,680
Speaker 1: did you think Mariota looked today? How do he looked good?

217
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:57,280
Speaker 1: He looked like you kind of always expect Mario to look.

218
00:10:57,480 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 1: You know. I thought that he had a decent day.

219
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 1: I think that he was getting back in the groove

220
00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:04,440
Speaker 1: with some of the receivers and things like that. But

221
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:07,600
Speaker 1: he looked like a Marcus that can move around and

222
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:10,079
Speaker 1: throw the ball, and he had a couple of times

223
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:13,320
Speaker 1: that he went on some pretty decently sized runs there,

224
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 1: and he's fast. I think the defense is winning these

225
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:19,040
Speaker 1: practices still, and I know this is day one, but

226
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:21,959
Speaker 1: I thought the defense won the off season and h

227
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:24,880
Speaker 1: I did too, and I think the defense won today.

228
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 1: I think it's going to take Mario to more time

229
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 1: to where he really is clicking and and consistent. You know,

230
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 1: every single practice you have to take and consider. Racist

231
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 1: got a new offensive coordinator, a new quarterbacks coach, a

232
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:42,839
Speaker 1: whole new scheme he's working with. He's got players around

233
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 1: him who's not used to being out there with again,

234
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 1: Pamphild and uh you know, and Kelly or you're starting

235
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:52,080
Speaker 1: tackles not l one and Conklin. At this point, You've

236
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:54,880
Speaker 1: got uh, you know, a young receiving corps. All that

237
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 1: stuff comes to play a defense that's a veteran team.

238
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 1: So that will all help him get better. Or I

239
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 1: think at some point offense will get over the hump

240
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:07,839
Speaker 1: where it's winning some of these practices. But I haven't

241
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:11,320
Speaker 1: really seen that yet the defense. And that's because the

242
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 1: defense looks great. Yeah, I will say this about the offense,

243
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 1: though it does not seem even though they're doing new things,

244
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:22,800
Speaker 1: it does seem like they're able to execute what they

245
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 1: want to do without a lot of false starts or

246
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 1: guys being totally out of position or things like this.

247
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:33,720
Speaker 1: The defense is less new than the offense, admittedly, but

248
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:38,600
Speaker 1: the offense looks like they are getting Matt Lafleur's concepts

249
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 1: pretty well. I'd agree with that. I'd agree with that.

250
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:44,360
Speaker 1: And then, and obviously, in practices like this, especially with

251
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 1: the pads not on, your offense doesn't get an opportunity

252
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:50,679
Speaker 1: to kind of wear the defense down a little bit.

253
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:52,160
Speaker 1: I mean, that's what Derrick Kennry is gonna do in

254
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:55,120
Speaker 1: a game. That's what you know Delanney Walker's gonna do

255
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:58,360
Speaker 1: when he catches a ball and is physical, you know,

256
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 1: with the football in his hand. I mean, some of

257
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 1: that stuff you can't do now, and that's going to

258
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:05,720
Speaker 1: change the look at things. All right, let's talk about

259
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:09,199
Speaker 1: your notebooks. Oh yes, you took notes at practice today.

260
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 1: By the way, for those who keep up with such

261
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 1: such things. The first song that was played at training

262
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:22,320
Speaker 1: camp today was Stay by Z with Ariana Arianna car

263
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:25,600
Speaker 1: I think is the young lady her name? Well, I'm

264
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:28,600
Speaker 1: just trying to throw it. It actually was in the

265
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 1: on the charts this time last year, went as high

266
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:35,079
Speaker 1: as number seven on the charts. Look up Jacy kas Kay.

267
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 1: But people like to know what's on the playlist. Well,

268
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:43,760
Speaker 1: and you know who chose that song, Marcus Mariota one

269
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 1: of his jam songs. Interesting, he actually got caught during

270
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:53,480
Speaker 1: the Igniting the Fire series singing that song. Do we

271
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:55,560
Speaker 1: have that audio? Oh, we've got it all right, let's

272
00:13:55,600 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 1: hit it just way. Oh man, that's a treat. It's

273
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 1: so good. That's a treat. You think you think Marcus

274
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 1: is gonna be listening to this? Uh, Nope, I'm not

275
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 1: sure Marcus knows who any of us are. I think

276
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 1: the good news. The good news is Marcus can play

277
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:27,720
Speaker 1: quarterback because Nashville would not be his town for what else? National? Okay,

278
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:30,120
Speaker 1: now all right, so give me something out of the notebook.

279
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:32,640
Speaker 1: Jim White, hit me with something you saw it practice

280
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:35,160
Speaker 1: today that Titans fans need to know. Here on the OTP,

281
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:39,160
Speaker 1: did I mentioned Malcolm Butler's play against us? That was

282
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:42,960
Speaker 1: the moment. That was number one on mine too, judging? Yeah,

283
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:45,000
Speaker 1: that was number one. And I've got a run down

284
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:47,080
Speaker 1: here of a lot of players. You can tell I've

285
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:50,520
Speaker 1: got a lot of scribble going on back and forth. Uh,

286
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 1: I think that. I think I wrote down Drill Casey's

287
00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:55,400
Speaker 1: name a lot. We just talked about him. I noticed

288
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:58,280
Speaker 1: him being very active Bryan a Rock Poll being very active.

289
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 1: Wesley Woodyard, big yactive. I talked about the interceptions Butler Logan,

290
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:07,000
Speaker 1: Ryan and Dane Crookshank and uh, and we discussed Corey

291
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:11,360
Speaker 1: Davis's play of the day. Um. I thought again, I

292
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:14,800
Speaker 1: think it was a defense of practice. That was the

293
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:18,800
Speaker 1: defense one the day. But there were some young, you know,

294
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 1: young guys that kind of flashed and made plays on

295
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:23,800
Speaker 1: the offensive side of the ball too. Well, he got

296
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:26,640
Speaker 1: all of my football things, but I have some auxiliary

297
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:31,280
Speaker 1: color things that are way more entertaining. Um. Rusty Smith,

298
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:35,720
Speaker 1: former Tennessee Titans quarterback, was out here with his entire

299
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 1: football team at practice. Grace Christian, Yeah, he's the head coach. O. Yep.

300
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:43,840
Speaker 1: They needed an activity for the day to break up

301
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:48,240
Speaker 1: the monotony of their preseason pre whatever workouts, and so

302
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:52,200
Speaker 1: he brought him out to practice. I thought that was nice, right. Um.

303
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 1: Both sidelines have cooling benches. Now, yeah, I kind of

304
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:03,480
Speaker 1: on the outscortch. We could get some of the cool breeze.

305
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 1: Who will be the first nine football person to sit

306
00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:09,600
Speaker 1: on one of the cooling benches. I don't want to say,

307
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 1: you're talking about work for the Tennessee Titans or somebody

308
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:15,400
Speaker 1: that somebody, somebody's gonna sit down on one of those

309
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:19,400
Speaker 1: cooling benches who's not supposed to. It'll happen. Oh yeah,

310
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:21,840
Speaker 1: maybe Jeff Harden I could make a prediction. I'm not

311
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 1: gonna I'm not gonna say it on the airwaves. No,

312
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:30,360
Speaker 1: but someone gets five dollars when it happens, there's a pool. Well,

313
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:33,080
Speaker 1: I'm I'm starting it right now. I want someone to

314
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:35,720
Speaker 1: sit on those benches good. I would if it happens,

315
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:39,880
Speaker 1: we may have another Deron Jenkins Perry Phoenix moment from

316
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:45,280
Speaker 1: the two thousands one season took five. Amy wasn't around

317
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 1: here for that, but there was that was a heated

318
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:50,920
Speaker 1: bench and it was two thousand and one. It was

319
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 1: a bad game, I think against the Browns. It was

320
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:55,520
Speaker 1: at the end, yeah, and the game was just getting

321
00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:58,520
Speaker 1: out of hand. Season was getting out of hand at

322
00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:02,280
Speaker 1: that point, and uh, Dron Jenkins and Parry Phoenix had

323
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:05,320
Speaker 1: a disagreement on who should have gotten that last spot

324
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:08,280
Speaker 1: on the heated bench. It was a cold day and uh,

325
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:13,359
Speaker 1: if my memory is correct, Parry sat down in the

326
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 1: seat that that Dron Jenkins had been in and when

327
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:20,159
Speaker 1: Duran came back to reclaim the seat. Perry wouldn't get up,

328
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:23,520
Speaker 1: so they kind of jostled each other. And now Duran

329
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:28,000
Speaker 1: has a show HGTV and it's really good. I actually

330
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:32,280
Speaker 1: watched Flip. Yes, Nashville Flips fantastic, but got he about

331
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:35,240
Speaker 1: flipped Parry Phoenix when he got I don't know that

332
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:38,960
Speaker 1: he'd have been flipping Perry phe I think Pary Phoenix

333
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:41,200
Speaker 1: might have been flipping him. He's a little bigger dude.

334
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:46,800
Speaker 1: Ye did he call Sea? Does anybody know very specific

335
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:49,200
Speaker 1: rules regarding it? Was so bad I had to break

336
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:52,200
Speaker 1: those guys up over a seat on the heated bench.

337
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:56,320
Speaker 1: That was an incredibly disappointing season, and the Titans had

338
00:17:56,440 --> 00:18:00,400
Speaker 1: rallied back to seven and seven from what was just

339
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 1: a debacle of a start of the year, and you know,

340
00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 1: they get in this situation where they got to play

341
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:08,560
Speaker 1: two games at the end that don't matter, and they

342
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:11,639
Speaker 1: sort of played like they didn't matter. The games played

343
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:15,119
Speaker 1: out as if they were almost like preseason games, and

344
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:17,840
Speaker 1: when this happened, you were just thinking, let the season

345
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 1: be over with, particularly because they had gone thirteen and

346
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:24,439
Speaker 1: three both years before, and then they went back to

347
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:26,159
Speaker 1: the playoffs. Each of the next two years in one

348
00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:30,560
Speaker 1: playoff game. So it was an interlude, yes, interlude. All right,

349
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:32,200
Speaker 1: So what else is on your list? You've got more?

350
00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:35,040
Speaker 1: I have more, but he took all of my football.

351
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:38,840
Speaker 1: I wrote down seven. I was keeping track of the

352
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 1: songs from previous podcasts to see how much how correct

353
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:47,440
Speaker 1: we were. There was a lot of Drake. No Motown, sorry, Mike,

354
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:50,639
Speaker 1: there was no Motown at all. No Motown today. I

355
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:53,959
Speaker 1: didn't notice anything. Uh huh, yeah, but there should be

356
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:58,560
Speaker 1: more motown. There was post Malone, there was there was

357
00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:01,639
Speaker 1: some Kanye so but I mean, you can spend a

358
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:03,600
Speaker 1: lot of time keeping track, but you can call all

359
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:05,960
Speaker 1: the new stuff. I mean, come on, I want to

360
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:09,679
Speaker 1: hear some tone Loke out there. Tone Loke, Colemdine, Monkey

361
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:12,960
Speaker 1: Cold Medina, absolutely take. We'll hear of that in camp.

362
00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:17,200
Speaker 1: Do I think we'll hear tone Loke Um, I would

363
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:20,280
Speaker 1: go no on that. I would about some old school

364
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:22,800
Speaker 1: LLL cool J. You could hear it. You could hear

365
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:26,480
Speaker 1: all cool J. Because he's kind of back in again now,

366
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:29,200
Speaker 1: all these specials and things that he's on that lip

367
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:31,440
Speaker 1: sync show. He is on the lip sync he looks

368
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 1: the same as he did it's amazing back, you know,

369
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:37,360
Speaker 1: thirty years ago, one of the greatest. He played halftime

370
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:41,760
Speaker 1: of the two thousand and three AFC Championship game in

371
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:45,439
Speaker 1: Oakland and Pat Ryan had one of the greatest quotes

372
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:47,919
Speaker 1: in the history of Titans radio. He went, he is

373
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:55,760
Speaker 1: buff something we did not expect to ever hear Pat

374
00:19:55,880 --> 00:20:00,320
Speaker 1: Ryan say. One of the great moments in Titans radio history.

375
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:05,360
Speaker 1: Titans back at it nine to fifty on Friday, no pads,

376
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:09,480
Speaker 1: but still worth singing. Oh, absolutely, good crowd today. Who

377
00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:14,000
Speaker 1: is the big autograph signer today? I don't know. I

378
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:16,760
Speaker 1: don't know because I was. It's a scramble after practice,

379
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:18,840
Speaker 1: now that you know the way the setup is now,

380
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 1: was when practice ends, players start heading toward the doors

381
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 1: and you got to grab them before they get into

382
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:31,119
Speaker 1: the locker room. So you're scrambling after practice. So I

383
00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:32,720
Speaker 1: don't know who headed to the fences. I was just

384
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:35,200
Speaker 1: looking for guys headed toward the building. But I think

385
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:39,320
Speaker 1: fifteen eighteen guys are signing each day. Yeah, there was,

386
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:42,080
Speaker 1: and there was a big crowd. Marcus Mariota signs for

387
00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:44,520
Speaker 1: the children's and so there was a big crowd of

388
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:48,280
Speaker 1: children's Yeah, over by him. Which is always just so

389
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:56,160
Speaker 1: cute singing over there. I hope not all right, So, Jim,

390
00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:58,760
Speaker 1: you're doing all kinds of stuff at Titans online dot com.

391
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:01,800
Speaker 1: During training camp. You have what like nine stories up

392
00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:05,160
Speaker 1: right now. I have I think four for the day,

393
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:08,679
Speaker 1: counting the transaction earlier today which included the signing of

394
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:12,440
Speaker 1: Claude p Line from the University of Southern California, who

395
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:14,919
Speaker 1: played with the Jets previously. So if you count that

396
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:19,199
Speaker 1: one six four, three hundred d Linemen yep, wearing ninety seven.

397
00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:21,960
Speaker 1: Is that right? It's got the Carl Kluge old number,

398
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:25,320
Speaker 1: Karl Kluge number. He's wearing ninety seven, No ninety three,

399
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:28,240
Speaker 1: but there isn't ninety seven. Somebody's going to claim ninety three.

400
00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:31,760
Speaker 1: That's too good a number. Well, there's always the reshuffling

401
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:36,480
Speaker 1: after training camp and the numbers. I don't want another

402
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:40,360
Speaker 1: big reshuffling again. When was that two years ago where

403
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:43,879
Speaker 1: all the defensive backs got different numbers? That was confused? Poor.

404
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:47,160
Speaker 1: Just let's not do that. Best one or two, best

405
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:51,520
Speaker 1: ninety three in Titans history. Kevin Carter who number two,

406
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:55,920
Speaker 1: Kyle Van Debash, it's good. I would that's tough. That

407
00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:58,119
Speaker 1: was a good one too. Babin went to a Pro

408
00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:02,720
Speaker 1: Bowl in ninety three with this ball club. I mean

409
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:06,120
Speaker 1: there have been some good ninety three good Sean Smith. Yeah,

410
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:10,440
Speaker 1: Jim was asking. I thought he was expecting you to

411
00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:14,080
Speaker 1: say his name or something. What about what about that guy? Though,

412
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:16,800
Speaker 1: you reeled off some pretty good ones there. Uh, in

413
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:18,800
Speaker 1: a hurry, I've been a good number. That's been a

414
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:23,639
Speaker 1: very good Ninety three is a good jersey number for

415
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:26,920
Speaker 1: a defensive lineman. It is one of the best. It's

416
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:31,480
Speaker 1: like the numbers in the forties never looked quite as good. Agreed,

417
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:36,760
Speaker 1: that is true. Yeah, never never really just stand out

418
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:39,240
Speaker 1: the most. You never you never see a guy walking

419
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:40,920
Speaker 1: around with like a forty three. By the way, the

420
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 1: new jerseys look great on the practice field too. Helmets

421
00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:47,440
Speaker 1: have really grown on me, and I think they've grown

422
00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:49,959
Speaker 1: on a lot of other people. The helmet is awesome. Yes,

423
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:53,440
Speaker 1: it's a good look, especially the silver in the helmet,

424
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 1: the silver face mask. I just go on and all

425
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:57,480
Speaker 1: about it. I need to stop. Makes it pop, It

426
00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:00,640
Speaker 1: makes it pop, undoubtedly, all right. So, Jim Watt's got stories.
