00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:25,640
Speaker 1: forty seven. My name is Mike Keith. My co host

5
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:29,520
Speaker 1: is always Amy Wells. And Amy Wells we watched football

6
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:34,639
Speaker 1: today Friday, August the fourteenth, Mike Keith, we watched football.

7
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:38,760
Speaker 1: I saw you in person. Life is good right now.

8
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:43,120
Speaker 1: I am a very happy girl. And we watched football

9
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 1: with Titans Radio Zone Dave McGinnis coach Mac. It was

10
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 1: so good to be back with you. It was so

11
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:54,280
Speaker 1: good to listen to you talk ball. And it's hard

12
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:57,639
Speaker 1: to believe that we're doing what we do again, just

13
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 1: one month away from the season. Mike Keith. Amy Wells

14
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:05,399
Speaker 1: let me just start off this appearance on the OTP

15
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 1: by saying that generally made me so happy today to

16
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:12,840
Speaker 1: see you guys in person, and then to stand there

17
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:16,039
Speaker 1: with you through practice and talk ball. I mean, at

18
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:18,040
Speaker 1: this stage in my career, it takes a lot to

19
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 1: make me really happy. That made me really happy. Thank you.

20
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 1: We get a little tiery. Can you believe we had

21
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:30,400
Speaker 1: not watched a football practice since the week of the

22
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 1: AFC Championship Game. Seven months. It feels like seven years. Yeah,

23
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 1: well seven months. But let me tell you what really,

24
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:41,040
Speaker 1: what really I liked is that we slid right back

25
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 1: on the bicycle, just like we've seen each other yesterday.

26
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:47,040
Speaker 1: And that's when you know you've got something really working well.

27
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 1: It kind of reminded me of the practice that we

28
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 1: saw that I know, we'll talk about it, but it

29
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 1: didn't take us two turns of the wheel to get

30
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 1: right back in sync. And I know what you're gonna

31
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 1: go with here, because speaking of jumping right back on

32
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 1: the bicycle, what impressed Dave McGinnis the most was the

33
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 1: way that the Titans jumped right back on the bicycle.

34
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:11,520
Speaker 1: Take it from there and explain Coach mac Well, I mean,

35
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 1: everything was so crisp, It was so precise, There was

36
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:18,080
Speaker 1: no waste at anything. Everybody knew exactly where to go.

37
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:22,359
Speaker 1: The transition between drills is something I always pay attention

38
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 1: to in the early part of training camp to understand

39
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 1: how to visually look at and to see how well

40
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:30,920
Speaker 1: the young guys are paying attention as to where to

41
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:34,080
Speaker 1: go that they don't look like a bunch of lost ducks,

42
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 1: you know, going in all kind of different directions. But

43
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:41,079
Speaker 1: the practice organization was so crisp, so precise. I mean,

44
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 1: it was like clockwork out there. It didn't surprise me.

45
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 1: But I always love to see that because I know

46
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 1: what goes on behind the scenes to make something like

47
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 1: that happen. And it happened today. Especially in the situation

48
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 1: that we're in right now, with everything being so unusual

49
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 1: and so different, A lot of teams are not flowing

50
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:06,920
Speaker 1: as well as the Titans seem to today. Well, I

51
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 1: guarantee you they're not because, and I'll just say it,

52
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:12,080
Speaker 1: what's going on down there right now? I promise you

53
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:16,360
Speaker 1: have to carry people going in different directions today because

54
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 1: you know, you miss all the OTAs, you miss all

55
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,119
Speaker 1: the time you have with the rookies to explain to them,

56
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 1: to show them. I mean, we actually used to film

57
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 1: our drills so we could show our rookies, this is

58
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:26,800
Speaker 1: what our drills are going to look like when you

59
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 1: line up out there. All clubs have missed that. But

60
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,520
Speaker 1: just watch the precision that the Titans conducted their first

61
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 1: practice with. Don't I don't care what schemes they were

62
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 1: going over, None of that was what I looked at

63
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 1: the precision that they did. It tells me they are

64
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 1: slotting right back into where they need to be. Amy Wells,

65
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 1: give me something that jumped out to you in the

66
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 1: Titans practice on this Friday. Well, just initially, I noticed

67
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 1: how not prevalent all of the adjustments and the new

68
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 1: regulations word did not look like a COVID practice quote unquote.

69
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 1: There were little things, you know, guys had individual water

70
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 1: bottles and individual gatorades. They looked like they were having

71
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 1: little snacks. It was very cute. They had their own towels,

72
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 1: they had I mean, there were things like that. There

73
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:18,480
Speaker 1: were coaches wearing masks, the media were wearing mask Everyone

74
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 1: was kind of standing apart from one another that you

75
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 1: kind of could see. But for the most part, it

76
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 1: looked like a regular training camp practice. It didn't seem

77
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 1: as though that was any sort of an issue to

78
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:33,479
Speaker 1: this team. All right, coach MC, I'll give you a

79
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:36,920
Speaker 1: crack at it. What jumped out to you that you'd

80
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 1: like to share with the ot people. Here's what I like.

81
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 1: I like the layered individual instruction that to me is

82
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:45,840
Speaker 1: always so important to see. Now they've got the same

83
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 1: staff together, but they have some people at some different positions,

84
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 1: particularly at the secondary and at the inside linebacker position,

85
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 1: you know, watching midget work and watching hass those guys.

86
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:59,600
Speaker 1: To me, I always like to see what type of

87
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 1: layer progression teaching is going to go on in the

88
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 1: individual periods, because you know, all the years that I coached.

89
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 1: I mean, that's so important, especially to build a foundation.

90
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 1: And I was very impressed with what I watched there.

91
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:16,160
Speaker 1: I like when I'm looking at progressive teaching because to me,

92
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 1: that tells me that they are approaching it at a

93
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:24,480
Speaker 1: rate and a pace that everybody can understand. But young

94
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 1: players can learn from veteran players so quick if they

95
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 1: understand the progression that they're going to be presented. To

96
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 1: Max's point, another thing that I noticed today was how

97
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 1: advanced the defense especially seemed to be. It didn't look

98
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 1: like this was their first time on the field in

99
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 1: twenty twenty. They looked very advanced. They were doing a

100
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 1: lot of different things, more than you would expect to

101
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 1: see in the very first practice. I was impressed by

102
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 1: how much the consistency and the coaching and the consistency

103
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:00,480
Speaker 1: and some of the leaders on that side of the

104
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 1: ball were able to help the younger guys who obviously

105
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 1: wouldn't know what to expect in their very first practice.

106
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:10,920
Speaker 1: Nobody out there looked like a lost puppy, Coach Mac,

107
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 1: what do you call it? A puppy in traffic? Nobody

108
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:15,600
Speaker 1: looked like that. Wyn't look like that, Amy Wells. And

109
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 1: you're on a a hundred percent right. And to add to

110
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:20,800
Speaker 1: your point a little bit, and I made the comment

111
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 1: to both of you standing there at one time when

112
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:26,599
Speaker 1: it was offense against defense, I said, we're seeing Bogie's

113
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 1: in the first practice, which for our listeners is disguised

114
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 1: as by the defense. We were seeing that they were

115
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 1: just lining up static in a first practice. I said

116
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:37,719
Speaker 1: it to you guys immediately, I said, we're seeing Bogie's

117
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,840
Speaker 1: right now. That's impressive to me. To add to exactly

118
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:44,799
Speaker 1: what you said, Coach Mack, your constant admonition is don't

119
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 1: be an ie, and so I don't want to be

120
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 1: an ie. Explain to the OT people what an ie is.

121
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 1: Bill Tobin taught me that thirty five years ago when

122
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 1: I first came to the Bears, when he when I

123
00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:00,840
Speaker 1: first started getting my introduction to being able to identify

124
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:03,599
Speaker 1: talent in the National Football League, and he said, and

125
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 1: it's an instant evaluator. You don't want to make snap.

126
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 1: You don't want to be a ready fire aimed person,

127
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 1: and especially in talent evaluation, you cannot afford to do that.

128
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 1: As much as you'd like to to say that, oh

129
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 1: I can see that, and so this guy I can

130
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:21,680
Speaker 1: do this, don't ever ever do that. It takes development,

131
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:25,080
Speaker 1: It takes time. You know, you have to just be careful.

132
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 1: And I learned that very very quickly and had some

133
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 1: glaring examples, you know, come up throughout my career as

134
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:34,559
Speaker 1: to where keeping your powder dry on a player paid

135
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:39,280
Speaker 1: off eventually down the line. Right, we do want to

136
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 1: talk about DeAndre Walker because DeAndre Walker was put on

137
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 1: injured reserve early a year ago. You have talked about

138
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 1: him consistently since the Titans took him out of Georgia.

139
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 1: We got a good look at him today. I don't

140
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:56,800
Speaker 1: want you to be an ie, but I want you

141
00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 1: to give me some thoughts on how you thought he

142
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 1: went through kind of the early part of what was

143
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 1: his most substantive work to date as a tight well.

144
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:08,679
Speaker 1: First of all, you know, he had busily and career

145
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 1: that did not practice, and so he was working with

146
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 1: the first unit and we stand together and again, and

147
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 1: there's things in practice we see that we can't talk about.

148
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 1: But I was talking to you about some technical things.

149
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 1: But I can tell you what I did see. They

150
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 1: flipped him on both sides of the formation, which tells

151
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 1: me this. He is going to be a part of

152
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 1: this rotation. And if you are a part of the rotation,

153
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 1: you have to be able to play the left and

154
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 1: the right side boat. And there's a difference in playing

155
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 1: with your left foot up, right foot up, and your

156
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:41,720
Speaker 1: left foot back. There is a difference. It's just like

157
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 1: playing right tackle and left tackle. He played with the

158
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:47,959
Speaker 1: first unit today on both sides of the formation. I

159
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 1: liked what I saw there. Why do you like him

160
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 1: so much as a prospect? Why have you liked him

161
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 1: all along? He doesn't have overwhelming height, but he's got length.

162
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:01,040
Speaker 1: He's got length in his arms, and he can cover ground.

163
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:03,680
Speaker 1: He covers ground. The thing that I always I like,

164
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 1: really evaluating him at Georgia was he could close and

165
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:10,679
Speaker 1: recognize quickly horizontally down the line of scrimmage. He's really

166
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:13,559
Speaker 1: good at that. And he's got he's got he's got

167
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:17,199
Speaker 1: go go gadget arms. So he can get separation from

168
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:20,440
Speaker 1: a blocker very quick, whether that blockers an offensive tackle,

169
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:23,080
Speaker 1: whether it's a tight end, or whether it's a running

170
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 1: back separation. Playing defense the National Football League, arm extension,

171
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 1: instant separation is a huge advantage. He's got that, all right,

172
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 1: Amy Wills. I don't want you to be an ie.

173
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:38,320
Speaker 1: Coach Mack will get you if you do. But I

174
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:40,680
Speaker 1: do want you to tell us some guys who stood

175
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 1: out to you in practice. Can't watch all eighty guys.

176
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:46,320
Speaker 1: I mean we all know that. So who grabbed your attention?

177
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 1: All right? Well, first, Coach Mac just is constantly reminding

178
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 1: me not to be an ie. I felt a little

179
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:56,280
Speaker 1: personally attacked by his description of what that was, because

180
00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 1: it's pretty much me. When I walked out onto the field,

181
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 1: the very first humans that I saw were number ninety

182
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 1: eight Jeffrey Simmons and number seventy nine Isaiah Wilson. Both

183
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:12,720
Speaker 1: of those guys were bigger than I even anticipated, and

184
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 1: in different ways. Jeffrey Simmons, we've talked all offseason about

185
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:19,640
Speaker 1: how in pictures it appears that his body is changed

186
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:23,200
Speaker 1: a little bit. He looks like he is shaped a

187
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 1: little bit differently than he was last year. He's a

188
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:31,560
Speaker 1: giant human. He is big, he looks like he's in shape,

189
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:34,880
Speaker 1: he looks like he's carrying himself differently, So that was

190
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:38,079
Speaker 1: something that stood out to me. And also Isaiah Wilson,

191
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:40,719
Speaker 1: I had never seen him before, so this was my

192
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 1: first chance to see him just in person. And he's

193
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:49,959
Speaker 1: a large human. He looks strong, he stands out, he

194
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:53,400
Speaker 1: looks like he belongs on an offensive line, like he

195
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 1: looks like an NFL player right away on day one,

196
00:10:57,400 --> 00:10:59,280
Speaker 1: So that was very exciting to me. Those were two

197
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:03,119
Speaker 1: people who caught my eye just from a physical stature standpoint.

198
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 1: I couldn't stop watching them. Big Panda Isaiah Wilson is

199
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:15,720
Speaker 1: so imposing because everything on him is large. Yes, every

200
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:20,560
Speaker 1: part of him is large. And Coach Mack. Those are

201
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:23,880
Speaker 1: the types of players that you love because when these

202
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:29,439
Speaker 1: guys are so naturally big, they often move more fluidly

203
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 1: and it doesn't seem like they get hurt as much.

204
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 1: It's not like they've been built up to gain fifty

205
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 1: pounds in the weight room or whatever. I mean, he

206
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:43,240
Speaker 1: would be this big a dude if if he were working,

207
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:47,079
Speaker 1: you know, at tractor supply. I mean, this is this

208
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:49,840
Speaker 1: is who he is. It's like Bruce Matthews was. Bruce

209
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:54,640
Speaker 1: Matthews was a big man period. Those kind of guys

210
00:11:55,200 --> 00:12:00,120
Speaker 1: there's something special about them athletically and in terms of

211
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:02,600
Speaker 1: being able to stay on the field. Yeah, Mike, that's

212
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 1: a great point. And you know, Mike and Amy you

213
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:07,440
Speaker 1: feel remember when we took him. I was talking to

214
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 1: you guys about how he reminded me a lot of

215
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,319
Speaker 1: a guy I drafted out of University of Texas named

216
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 1: Leonard Davis, you know, and Leonard's nickname was just big.

217
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:18,200
Speaker 1: You know, he was the youngest of twenty two kids,

218
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 1: and he was just big, and you know, had a

219
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 1: great career in the league. But your description of that

220
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 1: is perfect. They are just big human beings that aren't

221
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:30,840
Speaker 1: artificially big, and and with being able to be that.

222
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:33,680
Speaker 1: It's what we term where I grew up in Texas

223
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:37,480
Speaker 1: country strong. They're just country strong. They're just naturally big,

224
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 1: strong humans. And then both of the thing that happens

225
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:43,720
Speaker 1: with guys that are drafted high in the National Football

226
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:46,960
Speaker 1: League that are just naturally big, like that, you're drafted

227
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 1: high and in the first round if you're that big

228
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:52,920
Speaker 1: because of one very very clear trait you can move

229
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:56,800
Speaker 1: when you're that big. That's the separation, is the athletic

230
00:12:56,880 --> 00:13:01,199
Speaker 1: movement ability at that size. And again I was very impressed.

231
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 1: I'm with Amy when you just look at him. He's

232
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:07,440
Speaker 1: not only big, and when they were doing team when

233
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:10,280
Speaker 1: they ran that one outside zone, he covers people up

234
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:12,680
Speaker 1: when he comes off the ball. But I was very

235
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:15,440
Speaker 1: excited to see that. I've been around it, and when

236
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 1: you see it and recognize it, you like having those

237
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:21,320
Speaker 1: kind of guys on your side. He's playing right tackle,

238
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:24,120
Speaker 1: but he's playing behind Dennis Kelly, which is not a

239
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 1: surprise coach, And Dennis Kelly has come back and you know,

240
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:31,880
Speaker 1: very much played and looked like a guy who in

241
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:34,520
Speaker 1: his mind thinks I'm gonna be the starting right tackle.

242
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 1: He should be behind Dennis Kelly right now. And by

243
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:40,560
Speaker 1: the way, Dennis Kelly is not a small human either. No,

244
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 1: but he should be behind Dennis Kelly right now, and

245
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:47,080
Speaker 1: he should be absorbing everything he can from that offensive

246
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 1: line room. I know one thing about that offensive line room.

247
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:52,880
Speaker 1: We've talked about the unity that they have. They've got

248
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:55,760
Speaker 1: a herd mentality anyway, but they are going to bring

249
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:59,480
Speaker 1: him along as fast as they can, but he absolutely

250
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:01,960
Speaker 1: should be behind him right now. All right, give me

251
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:05,800
Speaker 1: another one, Amy Wills, give me another one that you watched,

252
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:10,200
Speaker 1: maybe an undrafted rookie free agent. Let's go there. I

253
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:12,480
Speaker 1: can give you an undrafted rookie free agent. And you

254
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 1: guys are going to call me predictable, but I don't

255
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:18,800
Speaker 1: care very much because the person I was watching today

256
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:22,760
Speaker 1: is number forty seven, Kale Garrett, the linebacker out of

257
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:26,520
Speaker 1: the University of Missouri. You know, he was a highly

258
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:29,040
Speaker 1: touted player at the University of Missouri. People were very

259
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 1: excited about him and some of the things that he

260
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 1: was able to do. And then he got hurt and

261
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:37,520
Speaker 1: Missouri didn't do so well, and you know, he kind

262
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 1: of got lost in the shuffle. But here he is

263
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:43,200
Speaker 1: on an NFL team trying to make a name for himself.

264
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:46,040
Speaker 1: So that's who I've been excited about watching one of

265
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 1: my own, and I'm cheering for him. I like him,

266
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:52,480
Speaker 1: and he would have been an All American last year

267
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:54,360
Speaker 1: if he hadn't gotten hurt. He was off to a

268
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:57,560
Speaker 1: great start. The only problem he has, Coach Mack is

269
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:02,000
Speaker 1: teams don't keep a lot of in side backers these days,

270
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:05,200
Speaker 1: especially in running the type of defense that the Titans do.

271
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:10,080
Speaker 1: It's almost as if he's battling the numbers and guys

272
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:14,560
Speaker 1: had other positions as much as he's battling other linebackers. Amy.

273
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:18,040
Speaker 1: First of all, m I z z u o U.

274
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:22,040
Speaker 1: With all clarification, my first paying coaching job was at

275
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 1: Battle Olamazoo. So I'll always, always always be grateful to

276
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:29,800
Speaker 1: Battle Old Maaszoo for getting coach Max started in this business.

277
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:32,880
Speaker 1: But but you're exactly right, Mike Keith and and with

278
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 1: a three four defense, if you're going to keep a

279
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:39,040
Speaker 1: number of linebackers, you're gonna keep outside linebackers. That's what

280
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:41,240
Speaker 1: you're going to keep. And so for him to be

281
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:43,800
Speaker 1: able to make this football team, and just a little

282
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:45,960
Speaker 1: bit of retrospective on him, this guy was a really

283
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:49,520
Speaker 1: good college football player. He's an instinctive player. I've vetted him,

284
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 1: you know, doing that coach to coach show with Doug

285
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:53,680
Speaker 1: Matthews that I do. I watched a lot of Southeastern

286
00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:57,200
Speaker 1: Conference football. This guy's a quality football player. Now, he's

287
00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 1: not the fastest, nor is he the biggest guy, but

288
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:02,760
Speaker 1: he is very instinctive. But for a three four defense,

289
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:05,400
Speaker 1: he's got to have to make this team on special teams.

290
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:08,800
Speaker 1: He's going to have to do that. The sixteen man

291
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 1: practice squad may help a guy like kill Garrett a

292
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 1: lot in twenty twenty. Let me just say something about

293
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:18,720
Speaker 1: the sixteen man practice squad to your point. It may

294
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:21,120
Speaker 1: help him and it may hurt him because the new

295
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 1: rules are also there. Mike, you can keep veterans on

296
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 1: that practice squad now and having veterans on that practice

297
00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:31,680
Speaker 1: squad that have special teams experience because regardless of what

298
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 1: people think, and I'm gonna let our listeners know this,

299
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:37,160
Speaker 1: because we've got we've got smart listeners to the OTP.

300
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:40,600
Speaker 1: You have to be taught how to play special teams too,

301
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:44,680
Speaker 1: especially your protection units, your punt protection, your punt cover,

302
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:47,080
Speaker 1: all of that stuff has to be taught. And there

303
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:49,240
Speaker 1: are skills that you learn on how to do that.

304
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:53,080
Speaker 1: And if you can keep veterans on your practice squad

305
00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:56,120
Speaker 1: that can do that, then your transition if somebody gets hurt,

306
00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:58,960
Speaker 1: is not so big. So it may help him the numbers,

307
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:01,680
Speaker 1: but also it may hurt him a little bit. I'm

308
00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:04,640
Speaker 1: interested to see how people use their practice squads. This year,

309
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:12,040
Speaker 1: Dave McGinnis explained to us why you think undrafted rookie

310
00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 1: free agent Tommy Hudson is a name that everybody should know. Well.

311
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:19,720
Speaker 1: For the Titans, it's a name they should know for

312
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:24,520
Speaker 1: this reason. This squad has a place for a inline

313
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:27,679
Speaker 1: blocking tight end, and he was excellent at that at

314
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:30,680
Speaker 1: Arizona State. He was excellent at that. And plus they

315
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:33,639
Speaker 1: ran inside outside zone the Arizona State. He's made all

316
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 1: those combination blocks. I know Don Baki very well, who's

317
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:39,240
Speaker 1: assistant a d You're in charge of football out there

318
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:42,160
Speaker 1: for thirty years. He and I worked together in college football,

319
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:44,600
Speaker 1: and he really liked this guy. So when we when

320
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:46,760
Speaker 1: we signed him, I call him, I said, Boch, tell

321
00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 1: me a little bit about him. First of all, great worker,

322
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:56,080
Speaker 1: extremely smart, very diligent, completely a team guy, completely unselfish,

323
00:17:56,240 --> 00:18:00,520
Speaker 1: didn't worry about the number of catches, really really embraced

324
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:03,600
Speaker 1: being a tight end that would set the edge, would

325
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 1: do some of the things that aren't the most glamorous

326
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:08,600
Speaker 1: things to do. I watched him today. Now you didn't

327
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:10,399
Speaker 1: get to see him do much. Now he's in a

328
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 1: different he's in a different mode now. Now he's got

329
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 1: to learn how to move across the line of scrimmage.

330
00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:17,199
Speaker 1: He's got to get involved in the passing game. But

331
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:20,080
Speaker 1: I like the way he looked physically, and I just

332
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:22,480
Speaker 1: know with the makeup of this team, there's a spot

333
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:25,520
Speaker 1: for a guy like that possibly down the road, if

334
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:28,159
Speaker 1: not only active roster. This is a big time to

335
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:32,680
Speaker 1: me practice squad edition, especially because at this moment in time,

336
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:35,280
Speaker 1: none of the Titans top three tight ends are under

337
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:38,720
Speaker 1: contract for twenty twenty one, so they may be looking

338
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:42,399
Speaker 1: to add somebody for the future, either as a fourth

339
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:44,919
Speaker 1: tight end on the roster or on the practice squad.

340
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:47,200
Speaker 1: You hit it well, Amy, I'm gonna tell you, I

341
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:50,280
Speaker 1: watched him a lot. I went over and stood caught

342
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:52,879
Speaker 1: the ball very naturally, which I kind of wondered about

343
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:55,960
Speaker 1: because he's more of a bulky tight end, as Coachmack

344
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:58,880
Speaker 1: alluded to. But the thing that got me about him

345
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:02,640
Speaker 1: in the evaluation process is this is a guy who

346
00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:05,440
Speaker 1: has said what he would like to do post football

347
00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:10,679
Speaker 1: is be a Navy Seal. Anybody who has that in

348
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:14,919
Speaker 1: their makeup as a stated goal is somebody who I

349
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:17,639
Speaker 1: think we know has something about him kind of special.

350
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:20,200
Speaker 1: So we'll see if Tommy Hudson can do the job

351
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:24,000
Speaker 1: or not. But certainly on the resume. There's some things

352
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:27,639
Speaker 1: that get you excited about him. Even though he's not

353
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:32,520
Speaker 1: the big name player for the height, weight, speed, athleticism,

354
00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:34,600
Speaker 1: He's going to be asked to do the dirty work

355
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:37,760
Speaker 1: to potentially get an NFL job. Coach McK and I

356
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 1: were watching him today and you're one hundred percent right.

357
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:43,840
Speaker 1: He looks very natural. He looked very smooth in the

358
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:45,560
Speaker 1: way that he caught the ball, the way that he

359
00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:49,960
Speaker 1: moved within space. The Navy seal thing is very interesting

360
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:52,400
Speaker 1: to me though, because you've got to be a little

361
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:54,880
Speaker 1: bit twisted in the best kind of way to want

362
00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:57,000
Speaker 1: to be a Navy Seal like that is not for

363
00:19:57,119 --> 00:20:00,360
Speaker 1: the faint of heart. You've got a woo I mean,

364
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:03,840
Speaker 1: that's intense. I like that about him. He's becoming a

365
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:06,359
Speaker 1: new favorite. Shoot him up to the top of the list.

366
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:09,600
Speaker 1: I like people who have some screws loose amy. Don't

367
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:12,720
Speaker 1: be an I I'm not a Navy Seals are nuts,

368
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:15,639
Speaker 1: I mean, and again in the best way, but they're crazy.

369
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:22,119
Speaker 1: Who Well, that's who I want to walk into a

370
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:24,520
Speaker 1: dark alley with. Is somebody who does that. So I

371
00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:27,000
Speaker 1: know what you're saying. Yep, let's talk about some of

372
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:30,320
Speaker 1: the big the big name guys, and we can we

373
00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:32,360
Speaker 1: don't have to be I ease. We could just be

374
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:37,680
Speaker 1: ease because we certainly know Derrick Henry at coach back,

375
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:41,439
Speaker 1: I'd be here. Here's a stunner. Derrick Henry just looks

376
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:47,720
Speaker 1: absolutely fantastic. If anything, he looks almost leaner and more muscular,

377
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:50,000
Speaker 1: which is I mean, that's like crazy talk. He was

378
00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 1: a full grown man anyway, Now he's a chisel full

379
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:55,919
Speaker 1: grown man. I mean, that's just all there is to it.

380
00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 1: He's a special player, and he's a special player for

381
00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:00,800
Speaker 1: a lot of reasons, and his physic zeke, you know,

382
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:03,320
Speaker 1: just the way he looks is a small part of it.

383
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:06,720
Speaker 1: I Mean, this is a guy that and we've all

384
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:10,159
Speaker 1: been We have known his background, We know what he

385
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:13,160
Speaker 1: went through. Our listeners on the OTP know very well

386
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:15,680
Speaker 1: his story. He didn't come in here and have instant

387
00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:19,280
Speaker 1: success in the National Football League. This guy has gone

388
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:23,320
Speaker 1: through the valleys and pulled himself up and saw a

389
00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:26,199
Speaker 1: lot of advice as to how to do it. I

390
00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:28,800
Speaker 1: just love his makeup, you know, And I'm not talking

391
00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:31,679
Speaker 1: about physically. I mean I just like it. The mindset

392
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:33,960
Speaker 1: that he brings. And when you've got somebody with that

393
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:37,800
Speaker 1: type of physical talent that brings that mindset, then you've

394
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 1: got something. Aby talked to me about Ryan Tannehill and

395
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:45,919
Speaker 1: how he looked today. Ryan Tannehill looked exactly how you

396
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:50,000
Speaker 1: would expect Ryan Tannehill to look. He had control of

397
00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:53,040
Speaker 1: this offense. This is the first time that Ryan Tannehill

398
00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:57,320
Speaker 1: is going through a training camp as the absolute leader

399
00:21:57,400 --> 00:22:00,400
Speaker 1: of the Titans offense, you know, and that's exactly how

400
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:03,040
Speaker 1: he looked. He had command of what was going on.

401
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:06,800
Speaker 1: He was clearly in charge. He's throwing balls well. I mean,

402
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:09,719
Speaker 1: he didn't look like he was rusty or like you know,

403
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:11,800
Speaker 1: last year was a flash in the pan to me.

404
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:14,639
Speaker 1: I mean, he looked like he was right on track

405
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:17,600
Speaker 1: and picking up where he left off. I think that

406
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:21,480
Speaker 1: as a Titans fan, I am very excited to have

407
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:25,119
Speaker 1: him be QB one going into the twenty twenty season

408
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:28,320
Speaker 1: and the guy Tannehill was throwing two most today. Coach

409
00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:36,240
Speaker 1: mac A. J. Brown, Oh, come on, you can't. I mean, seriously,

410
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:39,960
Speaker 1: you can't overstate this. This definition enough, full grown man.

411
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:43,920
Speaker 1: I mean, this is a guy that's a difference maker

412
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:45,879
Speaker 1: for a lot of reasons, but still it goes back

413
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:50,520
Speaker 1: to his mental mindset. I mean, this guy's mindset is work.

414
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:52,919
Speaker 1: And the thing that I love about him, and you

415
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:55,239
Speaker 1: know my comparisons. I mean we've already used it so

416
00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:58,359
Speaker 1: many times because I was personally involved with an Koon Boldin.

417
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:01,840
Speaker 1: But this guy is all out business on the practice field,

418
00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:05,640
Speaker 1: all about business on the practice field. And you can

419
00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:08,200
Speaker 1: just see and plus just to talk about the layers

420
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:10,080
Speaker 1: a little bit, won't We won't get into all of

421
00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:13,200
Speaker 1: it that Arthur Smith has able to do with this offense.

422
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:16,639
Speaker 1: When they get him that ball within that eight to

423
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:20,560
Speaker 1: seven yard range between the numbers, he's gonna hurt some people.

424
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 1: I mean, he really is. And that's and this guy

425
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:26,399
Speaker 1: to me, I mean, what a what a draft choice?

426
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:30,760
Speaker 1: What a fine? And then the way he practices is

427
00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:33,639
Speaker 1: what impresses me. The game is just icing on the

428
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:36,720
Speaker 1: cake for me. I love the way he practices. I

429
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:41,760
Speaker 1: have a complaint with Agent Brown. Okay, it's his shorts. Man,

430
00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:46,359
Speaker 1: it's year two of the baby shorts. What what his

431
00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:50,160
Speaker 1: little baby shorts? There's too much, MANTHI on a J. Brown.

432
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:52,760
Speaker 1: I can't handle it. Year two. I thought we would

433
00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:56,000
Speaker 1: be evolved from this point. We are not. It bothers me,

434
00:23:56,680 --> 00:24:01,399
Speaker 1: Coach Mack. It doesn't bother anybody. No. I miss Amy

435
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:06,520
Speaker 1: Well so much. I love Amy Well the perspective she brings. Look,

436
00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:08,520
Speaker 1: I've been in the National Football League for what thirty

437
00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:13,000
Speaker 1: four years? Her perspective is the freshest perspective I've ever

438
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:15,239
Speaker 1: been around in my life, and I love it. Well,

439
00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:20,440
Speaker 1: let me just say this. Tivers can do whatever they want.

440
00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:24,760
Speaker 1: I mean, big time wide receivers and and this is

441
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:29,159
Speaker 1: there's a mindset how they carry themselves. They carry themselves

442
00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:34,680
Speaker 1: like lead singers from wildly successful rock bands. They're good,

443
00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:39,200
Speaker 1: they're pretty, they know it and they know you know it.

444
00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:42,800
Speaker 1: And having a guy like that now for the Titans

445
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:47,159
Speaker 1: is so refreshing because this dude, when I mean, he

446
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:49,600
Speaker 1: can wear his shorts up around his head for all

447
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:53,240
Speaker 1: I care. But the bottom line is when he goes

448
00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:59,720
Speaker 1: out there, he's expecting to eat everyone alive. And I

449
00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:03,359
Speaker 1: love of it. I love this player's makeup and his

450
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:09,040
Speaker 1: mindset because that he's out there to win, you know,

451
00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:13,800
Speaker 1: like DeAndre Hopkins, like you know AJ Green, like you

452
00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:17,880
Speaker 1: know guys like that. It's a it's a mindset and

453
00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:23,679
Speaker 1: he hasn't. Yes, he has so much swag like so much.

454
00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:25,800
Speaker 1: I don't know if you've seen some of the videos

455
00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:28,960
Speaker 1: and pictures that the Titans have put out from media day.

456
00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:31,680
Speaker 1: He's the coolest guy in the bunch, Like he just is,

457
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:35,000
Speaker 1: and that's awesome and that makes me very happy. I

458
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:39,199
Speaker 1: love the like head to toe snakeskin pajamas that he

459
00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:42,080
Speaker 1: was wearing on the plane for a road trip last year.

460
00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:46,639
Speaker 1: That was very cool. Like, I'm into it. I understand, Yeah,

461
00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:49,520
Speaker 1: he did. He stole your suit. I'm sure you're angry

462
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:54,480
Speaker 1: about that. However, during practice, there's a lot to look

463
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:58,600
Speaker 1: at and I'm trying to take in different positions, different groups.

464
00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:00,359
Speaker 1: There's a lot of them. There's only one to me,

465
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:01,960
Speaker 1: so I've got a lot of things that I have

466
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:05,920
Speaker 1: to focus on. And those shorts are a distraction and

467
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:08,800
Speaker 1: I don't like them. And I need you to figure

468
00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:11,720
Speaker 1: yourself out and put on some regular human shorts that

469
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:14,720
Speaker 1: fit your size so that I can do my job.

470
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:18,640
Speaker 1: That's all. You're still very cool and you can wear

471
00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:22,120
Speaker 1: the very cool sunglasses and the snakeskin pajamas and I'm

472
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:25,639
Speaker 1: here for it. But like, I don't want to see that.

473
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:31,200
Speaker 1: That's that's too much thigh. No. The end coach help

474
00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:36,520
Speaker 1: me here. I can't. Can you know, cannot because I'm right, No,

475
00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:39,280
Speaker 1: I can't. I can't help you with that. I look,

476
00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:42,600
Speaker 1: I can help you and our listens with so much football.

477
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:46,080
Speaker 1: I can. I can, I can, I can take everybody

478
00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:48,800
Speaker 1: is as high as they as they want to go,

479
00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:51,840
Speaker 1: as far as football that is going on. As I said,

480
00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:55,040
Speaker 1: it's a unique perspective that I can't. I can't operate

481
00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:58,640
Speaker 1: in that space because I'm not cool enough. Wow, all right,

482
00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:01,639
Speaker 1: so moving right along. That's just I mean, you stopped

483
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:05,960
Speaker 1: traffic with that, Amy Wells. It's a real concern. It

484
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:09,399
Speaker 1: obviously is, and you have voiced it before. This is

485
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:11,760
Speaker 1: not a hot test, it's not. Okay, Well, give me

486
00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:15,800
Speaker 1: a take on somebody else or something else that you

487
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:20,040
Speaker 1: saw today on this edition of the OTP sponsored by

488
00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:23,919
Speaker 1: our great friends at Farm Bureau Health Plans. Give me

489
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:27,159
Speaker 1: something else before we let the ot people go. You

490
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:30,399
Speaker 1: know what, Coach Mac made me watch special teams and

491
00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:34,439
Speaker 1: actually pay attention today. So I did. And one of

492
00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:37,280
Speaker 1: the things that I was impressed by was the consistency

493
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:41,560
Speaker 1: of Greg Joseph the kicker. He did a very good

494
00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:45,960
Speaker 1: job kicking field goals from a variety of ranges, and frankly,

495
00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:48,040
Speaker 1: we haven't seen a lot of that. I mean, when

496
00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:51,000
Speaker 1: Greg Joseph came to the team, he wasn't kicking a

497
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:52,879
Speaker 1: lot of field goals. We were scoring a lot of

498
00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:55,000
Speaker 1: points and it was all extra points and then we

499
00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:57,439
Speaker 1: went about our lives. We haven't seen too much of

500
00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:00,040
Speaker 1: him because we didn't really need him through most of

501
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:03,560
Speaker 1: the playoffs. So I was interested to see how he

502
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:05,439
Speaker 1: was going to kick today, what he was going to

503
00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:09,640
Speaker 1: look like. And he was incredibly consistent, So that stuck

504
00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:13,879
Speaker 1: out to me. Tucker McCann, the rookie from Missouri, showed

505
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:16,320
Speaker 1: a good leg as well, Coach, Yes he did. I

506
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:18,800
Speaker 1: was very impressed with what he did. And to your point,

507
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:20,240
Speaker 1: you brought it up when we you and I and

508
00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:22,720
Speaker 1: Amy were standing there watching. I likes I like the

509
00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:25,400
Speaker 1: lyft and the height that he gets on his on

510
00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:27,720
Speaker 1: his kicks, and then I think both of them were

511
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:30,720
Speaker 1: eight of ten. That's what they both were today when

512
00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:32,960
Speaker 1: we were standing there watching. But I agree with you, Mike,

513
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:35,520
Speaker 1: all right, coach, give us one more thing we need

514
00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:38,280
Speaker 1: to know about practice one for the type. Well, I

515
00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:40,800
Speaker 1: watched the DBS. I stood there with Amy and we

516
00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:43,840
Speaker 1: watched the DBS go through individual drills and they and

517
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:46,680
Speaker 1: Anthony Midgett did a drill that I really really always

518
00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:49,880
Speaker 1: liked to watch. Initially he did, he did, he did,

519
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:53,320
Speaker 1: He did a forward run, a quarter turn, and then

520
00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:56,120
Speaker 1: a forty five degree exit and what he does with

521
00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:59,880
Speaker 1: all of that, It shows you the lower leg flex

522
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:02,080
Speaker 1: and that these guys have and whether it takes the

523
00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:04,479
Speaker 1: guys two steps two and a half steps, whether they

524
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:08,120
Speaker 1: they run underneath themselves to make that forty five degree

525
00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:11,640
Speaker 1: exit from a real quick quarter turn. I loved watching

526
00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:14,120
Speaker 1: that drill and in watching that and Amy and I

527
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:16,160
Speaker 1: set out there and I said, Amy, here's what you watch.

528
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:18,440
Speaker 1: You know, you need to watch from the knees down

529
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:21,200
Speaker 1: and see how and see who makes that with the

530
00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:24,719
Speaker 1: least amount of steps, and see who is able to

531
00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:27,480
Speaker 1: make it the quickest and also make the sharpest cut.

532
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:30,160
Speaker 1: When we saw Christian Fulton doing that, you could see

533
00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:33,680
Speaker 1: why they drafted him where they did. He's bigger than

534
00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:36,320
Speaker 1: what you think he would be too. Yeah, he's along.

535
00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:39,200
Speaker 1: He's a nice size corner. Good to see Malcolm Butler

536
00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:42,040
Speaker 1: back as well. Coachmac Oh. Absolutely it was, I mean

537
00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:44,800
Speaker 1: it absolutely is. And there's there's a veteran corner that's

538
00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:48,360
Speaker 1: a physical corner. Let's not forget about how physical he is.

539
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:50,760
Speaker 1: It's a corner. And we all remember when he first

540
00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:52,960
Speaker 1: came in here and then you know, I've seen it

541
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:55,160
Speaker 1: happened to corners a lot. They sign a big contract,

542
00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:59,000
Speaker 1: they want to justify that contract by making every play,

543
00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:02,120
Speaker 1: making every break, trying to make an interception all the time.

544
00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:04,640
Speaker 1: That's not what got you the big contract. It's being

545
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:07,320
Speaker 1: consistent and being who you are. Once he's settled back

546
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:10,400
Speaker 1: into that, he's a very very steady and a very

547
00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:13,240
Speaker 1: very important corner, especially if they're going to play defense

548
00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:16,040
Speaker 1: like they liked to play. And he was just happy

549
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:18,719
Speaker 1: to be there. I mean, he even talked to the

550
00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:21,720
Speaker 1: media after practice and he was saying that he missed

551
00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:25,120
Speaker 1: so many different parts of football. He didn't care that

552
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:27,240
Speaker 1: it was hot, he didn't care that he was tired,

553
00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:30,280
Speaker 1: he didn't care that he was sweating. He missed so

554
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:33,400
Speaker 1: much of being on the field with everybody. So I

555
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:35,680
Speaker 1: hope he keeps the acceptment all the way through training

556
00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:38,680
Speaker 1: camp and he's able to really perform and have the

557
00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:40,920
Speaker 1: year that he was hoping to have for the second

558
00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:43,600
Speaker 1: half of last year. You know what's interesting, Amy, And

559
00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:46,320
Speaker 1: I'll throw this at Coach because I think it's a

560
00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:48,160
Speaker 1: great comment for him. So I had a chance to

561
00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:50,960
Speaker 1: interview him just a few days ago, and he's a

562
00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:55,040
Speaker 1: very self critical player. I mean he will tell you hey,

563
00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:57,400
Speaker 1: I stunk it up, or hey this, or hey that.

564
00:30:57,520 --> 00:31:00,920
Speaker 1: I mean, he is very sightful and part of it.

565
00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:03,120
Speaker 1: He's thirty years old, he's been around the league. He

566
00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:05,440
Speaker 1: had to fight to get there, and I mean real

567
00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:08,160
Speaker 1: pro in that way. But I asked him point blank,

568
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:10,560
Speaker 1: I said, when you got hurt last year in Charlotte,

569
00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:15,360
Speaker 1: were you playing the best football of your career? He said, yes,

570
00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:19,000
Speaker 1: I was, He said yes. He said, That's what really

571
00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:22,880
Speaker 1: broke my heart about the injury is I was playing

572
00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:28,200
Speaker 1: the most consistent football of my career at that point,

573
00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:33,040
Speaker 1: and Coach, the defense was not the same after he left.

574
00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:38,440
Speaker 1: The defense was not a successful overall statistically and otherwise

575
00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:42,200
Speaker 1: outside of a couple of games. Not having him him

576
00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:46,200
Speaker 1: as part of the equation was a big part of

577
00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:49,160
Speaker 1: what the defense was doing the first half of the year. Mike.

578
00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:52,000
Speaker 1: And the most important adjective of that description that you

579
00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:56,280
Speaker 1: just gave from your conversation with him was consistent. He

580
00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:58,680
Speaker 1: was playing more consistent, and that goes into what I

581
00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:02,400
Speaker 1: was saying earlier, try to you know out there, consistency

582
00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:04,760
Speaker 1: is what you're looking for. But what he was able

583
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:07,520
Speaker 1: to do when you've got a guy, look, his skill

584
00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:10,360
Speaker 1: set is different than the Doory Jackson's skill set. But

585
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:12,360
Speaker 1: so when you have both of those guys, what you

586
00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:15,400
Speaker 1: can do as a defensive coordinator. You can match a

587
00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:18,320
Speaker 1: Dory up on their speed dude, and you can match

588
00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:21,240
Speaker 1: Butler up on their physical dude, and you can travel

589
00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:22,960
Speaker 1: them with him. You can do a lot of things.

590
00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:25,920
Speaker 1: When you're missing either one of those elements, then you

591
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:28,840
Speaker 1: are trying to cover up for what you're missing. And

592
00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:31,200
Speaker 1: your point is very well taken, and it's true, and

593
00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:33,640
Speaker 1: we saw it happen. We saw it happen when we

594
00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:38,320
Speaker 1: missed both of those guys at different points during the season. Yeah,

595
00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:41,840
Speaker 1: it's remarkable that the Titans were able to do what

596
00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:45,480
Speaker 1: they were over a period of time with some of

597
00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:47,840
Speaker 1: the guys banged up that they had banged up at

598
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:51,160
Speaker 1: those moments. Amy interesting to see Jonathan Joseph out there

599
00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:53,680
Speaker 1: for the first time too, a guy that we've known

600
00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:56,440
Speaker 1: well since he came into the league. In two thousand

601
00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:59,400
Speaker 1: and six. But all he's known well from AFAR having

602
00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:04,720
Speaker 1: played again team in particular his time with the Houston Texans. Right. Absolutely,

603
00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:07,560
Speaker 1: and he was the most veteran veteran I think I've

604
00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:10,720
Speaker 1: ever seen, Like you could see him talking to guys

605
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:12,840
Speaker 1: all the time. He was trying to help people. He's

606
00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:15,720
Speaker 1: the new guy, like he's the guy who hasn't been

607
00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:19,520
Speaker 1: here before, and yet he's talking to everybody from rookies

608
00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:21,200
Speaker 1: to guys who have been here. He's talking to all

609
00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:23,720
Speaker 1: these different people trying to help him out, trying to

610
00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:26,400
Speaker 1: get an idea of I assume, where he needs to be.

611
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:29,560
Speaker 1: But it was really cool to see how much he

612
00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:33,520
Speaker 1: was communicating with everybody else and was really kind of

613
00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:37,040
Speaker 1: assuming that leadership role that I think everyone was hoping

614
00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:39,320
Speaker 1: he would step into when he came to this team.

615
00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:44,680
Speaker 1: Dave McGinnis, where does Jonathan Joseph potentially fit in the secondary?

616
00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:47,120
Speaker 1: There'll be a swing guy they can do just because

617
00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:49,920
Speaker 1: of what Amy said. He is very experienced and plus

618
00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:52,920
Speaker 1: he's very smart. He's really a smart player. You can yeah,

619
00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:54,960
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, if watching you don't last a

620
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:57,280
Speaker 1: long time in this league at that position. If you're

621
00:33:57,320 --> 00:33:59,880
Speaker 1: not first of all, resilient, because you're going to have

622
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:02,680
Speaker 1: ups and downs at that position, particularly because it's a

623
00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:07,080
Speaker 1: lonely place. But he's also very, very smart, and to me,

624
00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:09,879
Speaker 1: he's going to be the ultimate swing guy that they

625
00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:12,440
Speaker 1: can use a lot of places. As much as they

626
00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:16,920
Speaker 1: make games specific defensive game plans, and as much as

627
00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:21,120
Speaker 1: they make positions specific game plans, he'll be a valuable

628
00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:23,920
Speaker 1: piece in doing that issue. When it comes to your

629
00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:27,080
Speaker 1: healthcare coverage, you should be the one to make the call.

630
00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:30,760
Speaker 1: So call Farm Bureau Health plans. They've been protecting Tennessee

631
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:36,040
Speaker 1: and since nineteen forty seven. So Amy Titans have another

632
00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:40,879
Speaker 1: practice in helmets and shorts, so to speak, and then

633
00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:43,160
Speaker 1: on Monday, and that practice is going to be on Sunday,

634
00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:45,560
Speaker 1: by the way, and then on Monday to the pads.

635
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:48,480
Speaker 1: So we start to move forward in it. It seems

636
00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:52,840
Speaker 1: like from our perspective this jumps in rather quickly, but

637
00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:55,920
Speaker 1: the reality is this football team's been working for two weeks,

638
00:34:56,440 --> 00:34:59,279
Speaker 1: yeah exactly. And Mike Vrabel, we've heard him talk a

639
00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:02,440
Speaker 1: little bit about the different phases and they're in something

640
00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:05,160
Speaker 1: that's sort of like a phase three we would see

641
00:35:05,160 --> 00:35:09,200
Speaker 1: in the spring, right now, but it's actually phase like

642
00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:13,239
Speaker 1: seven or eight or something like that. Everything is kind

643
00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:15,960
Speaker 1: of broken up in these weird places. So I think

644
00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:18,680
Speaker 1: this team is on phase about one hundred and nine,

645
00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:23,239
Speaker 1: and I think that that is pads and that's the

646
00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:26,120
Speaker 1: good stuff. So yeah, I mean from our standpoint, because

647
00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:28,040
Speaker 1: today was the first day that we've been able to

648
00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:30,920
Speaker 1: actually see this team on the field, it seems like

649
00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:32,920
Speaker 1: it's very quick that they're going to be in pads

650
00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:35,799
Speaker 1: and we get the good stuff. But they've been doing

651
00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:38,799
Speaker 1: a lot to ease into this time. Lots of walkthroughs,

652
00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:43,239
Speaker 1: lots of meeting or they are chomping at the bit

653
00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:45,640
Speaker 1: to be able to get a little bit more physical.

654
00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:49,200
Speaker 1: On Monday. We would have had a preseason game this weekend,

655
00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:51,839
Speaker 1: Dave McGinnis, so we would be to that point in

656
00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:55,800
Speaker 1: training camp where we would start ramping in a different way.

657
00:35:56,160 --> 00:36:00,920
Speaker 1: How different without the preseason games do you think things

658
00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:05,000
Speaker 1: will be in terms of making plans of preparing to

659
00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:08,319
Speaker 1: get ready for the regular season. How different will the

660
00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:12,759
Speaker 1: camps be over the next two weeks? In particular? I

661
00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:14,920
Speaker 1: think your first two weeks will be very different. I

662
00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:17,200
Speaker 1: mean because they just have to be, just because of

663
00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:20,440
Speaker 1: what Amy has said everything has been kind of squeeze together,

664
00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:23,160
Speaker 1: which you know it had to be. Now the goal

665
00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:25,319
Speaker 1: is still going to be the same, Mike, The goal

666
00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:27,560
Speaker 1: will be exactly the same. If I were a player

667
00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:30,240
Speaker 1: in the National Football League, I would want Mike Vrabel

668
00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:33,799
Speaker 1: as my head coach because he understands where the players are.

669
00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:37,080
Speaker 1: He understands where that is. It's not a small thing.

670
00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:40,040
Speaker 1: The first day you go in pads, that's different. It

671
00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:42,960
Speaker 1: is just different. It's different on your body. I've been

672
00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:45,560
Speaker 1: through all kinds of padded stuff in all my years

673
00:36:45,600 --> 00:36:48,120
Speaker 1: doing this, But I would want Mike Vrabel calling the

674
00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:50,320
Speaker 1: shots as to when we were going to practice in pads,

675
00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:52,680
Speaker 1: how we were going to practice in pads. But in

676
00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:55,040
Speaker 1: the other coaching staff that I've talked to around the

677
00:36:55,120 --> 00:36:58,319
Speaker 1: league with this thing ramping up, they have made very

678
00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:01,120
Speaker 1: different plans going in to it. You've got to stay

679
00:37:01,160 --> 00:37:03,719
Speaker 1: on the same time frame. You just approach it a

680
00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:06,240
Speaker 1: little bit different. I'm going to be interested to watch

681
00:37:06,239 --> 00:37:08,880
Speaker 1: and see how it all comes together. Is this the

682
00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:12,200
Speaker 1: best day of twenty twenty so far? I told you

683
00:37:12,239 --> 00:37:16,000
Speaker 1: how really genuinely happy it made me. I mean, I'm

684
00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:18,360
Speaker 1: happy when I see you guys in these little squares

685
00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:22,120
Speaker 1: which we've been doing for the last four months, but well,

686
00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:25,280
Speaker 1: you know, it's like we're on Hollywood squares. But actually

687
00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:28,120
Speaker 1: to see you guys out there on the practice field

688
00:37:28,120 --> 00:37:30,680
Speaker 1: and be able to talk ball with you again, that

689
00:37:30,760 --> 00:37:33,440
Speaker 1: was a good part. I mean, that's what I missed.

690
00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:35,640
Speaker 1: That's what I've missed most. I missed a lot of

691
00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:40,359
Speaker 1: that Mike and Amy this offseason when we would have been,

692
00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:43,080
Speaker 1: you know, going around with our season ticket holders and

693
00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:45,600
Speaker 1: all the events that we would have done. That's that's

694
00:37:45,640 --> 00:37:48,719
Speaker 1: the fun part of this doing this part of my

695
00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:50,920
Speaker 1: career is being able to be around the people and

696
00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:53,359
Speaker 1: getting this stuff out because as a coach you don't

697
00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:55,120
Speaker 1: get to do that a lot. The fun part as

698
00:37:55,160 --> 00:37:57,600
Speaker 1: a coach is having your players come back in So

699
00:37:58,040 --> 00:38:00,880
Speaker 1: being with you two guys today made me generally happy.

700
00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:05,800
Speaker 1: Me too. It just felt normal, like, oh, finally something

701
00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:07,919
Speaker 1: I know how to do. I've been doing all these

702
00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:11,120
Speaker 1: DIY projects at home. I don't know how to do that.

703
00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:14,080
Speaker 1: Football is what I know how to do, and you

704
00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:16,960
Speaker 1: do it well Amy Wills and Coach Mack you are

705
00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:20,120
Speaker 1: the best at it. So thank you both for joining
