But 11 00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:46,479 Speaker 2: I want to preface this thing a little bit because 12 00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:50,440 Speaker 2: here we are all five of us broadcasters with a 13 00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:54,600 Speaker 2: lot to say.

Let's 25 00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:20,560 Speaker 3: go there. 26 00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:23,920 Speaker 5: It is did you notice how they've separated ret in 27 00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:25,760 Speaker 5: you and they put Will in between you. 28 00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:27,679 Speaker 4: Will's not much of a barrier. 29 00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:29,640 Speaker 3: No, I'm really not. 30 00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:31,640 Speaker 5: I think that there's a chance that you might get 31 00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:33,440 Speaker 5: it back twenty minutes later. 32 00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:37,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, we'll see what happens here. I'm honestly not 33 00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:38,679 Speaker 2: super optimistic, but we're. 34 00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:39,440 Speaker 4: Gonna see here. 35 00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:40,959 Speaker 1: We're going to see where this lands. 36 00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:45,679 Speaker 2: So to start, I just want everybody's reaction from the 37 00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:47,640 Speaker 2: stadium practice today. So it was our first time in 38 00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:49,920 Speaker 2: Nissan Stadium. It's the first time a lot of these 39 00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:53,000 Speaker 2: Titans players were in Nissan Stadium, and there's a lot 40 00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,520 Speaker 2: of things that they're able to accomplish in a training 41 00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:57,680 Speaker 2: camp practice that looks a lot different from what they 42 00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:00,560 Speaker 2: usually get. So Taylor, I'll start with you. What stood 43 00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:01,960 Speaker 2: out to you about the practice today? 44 00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:06,400 Speaker 5: The energy just constantly. That's what I've noticed the first 45 00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:09,880 Speaker 5: few days of training camp and what we saw in 46 00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:12,360 Speaker 5: mini camp and rookie camp. You've got a guy in 47 00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:15,320 Speaker 5: cam Ward who is acting like a veteran. He does 48 00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:18,160 Speaker 5: not act like a rookie at all. There is just 49 00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:21,239 Speaker 5: this attitude of let's get to work all the time. 50 00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:25,120 Speaker 5: Calvin Ridley is it's his seventh year in the league 51 00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:27,840 Speaker 5: and the guy really wants to play in a regular 52 00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,520 Speaker 5: season football game right now. Just a ton of that. 53 00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:33,600 Speaker 5: And you see Cody Barton at linebacker. I just you 54 00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:36,919 Speaker 5: look across the Titans and there is just a ton 55 00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:40,080 Speaker 5: of passion that is on that football field right now. So, 56 00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:42,320 Speaker 5: you know, you don't always get that amy when you 57 00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:44,800 Speaker 5: come off a three and fourteen season, but when you 58 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,760 Speaker 5: have so many new faces that are with the Titans. 59 00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:50,920 Speaker 5: I think off of the field, we feel this that 60 00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:54,200 Speaker 5: it feels like a new time for the Titans, and 61 00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:56,880 Speaker 5: you certainly can sense that on the field too well. 62 00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:58,800 Speaker 4: I mean, I've been to every practice since the draft 63 00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:03,239 Speaker 4: and this this group is a new group. Uh, it's 64 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:06,840 Speaker 4: a very focused group. The draft choices that they made 65 00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:10,160 Speaker 4: came into this with a very mature mindset. You've got 66 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,240 Speaker 4: very few guys that have got a whole load of 67 00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:16,680 Speaker 4: foolishness that they've got to unload before they become professionals. 68 00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:20,880 Speaker 4: That's the one thing I thought. I thought the fan 69 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:24,520 Speaker 4: engagement was great. Players feel that regardless of the number 70 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:27,040 Speaker 4: of people that were out there, but this was a 71 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:29,640 Speaker 4: nice step for this group. We saw some things some people, 72 00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 4: you know, I'm going to talk about and I we'll 73 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:34,760 Speaker 4: talk about some certain players, but I was really really 74 00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 4: impressed with James Williams. I mean, the young linebacker. I 75 00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:42,000 Speaker 4: watched linebackers very close, and he made that He made 76 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 4: some really instinctive plays today. 77 00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:45,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, he had a pick well. 78 00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:47,640 Speaker 4: And not only that, he was at the right place 79 00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:49,360 Speaker 4: at the right time, and he was I mean, you 80 00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:51,440 Speaker 4: can tell that Frank Bush has done a great job 81 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:53,960 Speaker 4: with him. He's done a great job because I mean, 82 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:55,920 Speaker 4: you know this, he comes from the U but he 83 00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:58,200 Speaker 4: was a safety coming in here. But the transition that 84 00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:00,560 Speaker 4: he's made, and that's going to be the mantra I 85 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:02,160 Speaker 4: think of this. This is gonna be a young, young 86 00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:05,160 Speaker 4: football team. But you saw some young guys today out 87 00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:08,280 Speaker 4: there that showed up, that did some things. And the 88 00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:11,960 Speaker 4: other thing is the practice was very very well organized, 89 00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:15,440 Speaker 4: very organized. I mean it went like clockwork. I know 90 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:17,760 Speaker 4: Amy and will were on the sideline, you know, keeping us, 91 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:20,960 Speaker 4: keeping us on track, but they were right on point 92 00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:23,200 Speaker 4: with what was going on. And that's that's a credit 93 00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:26,560 Speaker 4: to this coaching staff and the players too, knowing that 94 00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:27,400 Speaker 4: they had to work. 95 00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 6: You could feel that energy down on the field. And 96 00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:33,200 Speaker 6: I think your point about James Williams coach Brian Callahan 97 00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:35,280 Speaker 6: said this past week to the media, he has made 98 00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:38,200 Speaker 6: leaps and bounds and made major strides since last season. 99 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:40,960 Speaker 6: We've spoken about this a lot through the offseason. Mac 100 00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:46,080 Speaker 6: getting coaching from Frank Bush is almost the defensive equivalent 101 00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:48,520 Speaker 6: of being an offensive lineman under Bill Callahan and the 102 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,800 Speaker 6: teaching that you're getting from Frank and the ability of 103 00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:54,640 Speaker 6: James Williams to just be a sponge and play next 104 00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:57,240 Speaker 6: to Cody Barton, who had another good practice again today, 105 00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 6: had another an interception earlier this week, and the second 106 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:03,120 Speaker 6: practice of camp. You can tell there's some momentum. You 107 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:06,760 Speaker 6: can tell there's energy, and all the interceptions made against 108 00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:09,400 Speaker 6: the ones thrown by camp Ward have been by inside 109 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:12,440 Speaker 6: linebackers through this training camp so far, by Cody Barton 110 00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:13,240 Speaker 6: and by James Williams. 111 00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:15,080 Speaker 4: Oh, you make a great point about Frank Bush, and 112 00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:18,520 Speaker 4: I'll just you know, for full disclosure, I'll well coach 113 00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:21,600 Speaker 4: with Frank for a lot of years, and he has 114 00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:26,120 Speaker 4: become not only here but just known in the coaching circles. 115 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:30,159 Speaker 4: He's the OG of linebacker coaches. He really is, and 116 00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:32,280 Speaker 4: you can see the difference that he makes with these 117 00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:34,119 Speaker 4: players when he has a chance to get his hands 118 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:34,520 Speaker 4: on them. 119 00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:40,560 Speaker 7: Back together. Weekend was a little different for obvious reasons. 120 00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:44,320 Speaker 7: We have personnel changes here. But his couple of good 121 00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:47,279 Speaker 7: takeaways from this I on the present with a look 122 00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:49,159 Speaker 7: at the future. As we looked out of Boost seven, 123 00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:52,000 Speaker 7: you can see the steel topped out at new Nissan 124 00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:55,200 Speaker 7: Stadium ninety plus feet above the light bar stanchions at 125 00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:59,880 Speaker 7: current Nissan Stadium, and you're thinking about this team is 126 00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:04,080 Speaker 7: about where that is in an analogy, they're building from 127 00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:09,080 Speaker 7: the ground up. Twenty twenty four was rough, and there's 128 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:09,960 Speaker 7: light at the. 129 00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:10,520 Speaker 3: End of the tunnel. 130 00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:13,240 Speaker 7: There's hope. It's going to take a while, but there's 131 00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:15,640 Speaker 7: a lot of young fellas out there making a difference. 132 00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:18,200 Speaker 7: And the other thing was, I'm just watching the running backs. 133 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,680 Speaker 7: Tony Pollard already doing Tony Potterard things. He is a 134 00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:26,080 Speaker 7: seasoned veteran and a pro. But Taja Spears had a 135 00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:29,239 Speaker 7: Murphy's Law kind of year. Anything that could happen did 136 00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:32,600 Speaker 7: on and off the field, and between that and then 137 00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:34,840 Speaker 7: a couple of concussions and a handstring that kept him 138 00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:39,120 Speaker 7: out of games, that young man has shown up every day. 139 00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:41,760 Speaker 7: One of the first ones out there to do it, 140 00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:45,160 Speaker 7: and you can tell he is stacking days now. Next 141 00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:47,160 Speaker 7: week is going to be different because we're going to 142 00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:49,640 Speaker 7: bring in the pads part of this. We're gonna see 143 00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:52,600 Speaker 7: some things happen and really start to evaluate and look 144 00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:55,960 Speaker 7: at things. Kalel Mullings the last pick in this year's 145 00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:59,480 Speaker 7: drafts the converted linebacker. That's a running back from Michigan. 146 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,040 Speaker 7: Another one that you should keep your eye on in 147 00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:05,400 Speaker 7: a big back option. Of course, Julius Chestnut just keeps 148 00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:08,560 Speaker 7: hanging around and doing what he's supposed to do in 149 00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:10,679 Speaker 7: this because he knows this offense as well. 150 00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:12,960 Speaker 4: Amy, Can I just. 151 00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:16,480 Speaker 1: Say something, Yeah, here we go, full. 152 00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:19,720 Speaker 4: Disclosure on Ret Bryan. He's got a T shirt with 153 00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:28,320 Speaker 4: J Spears face on anything that that's gonna happen he did. 154 00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:30,320 Speaker 4: I mean, do you remember us getting ready for the 155 00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:34,880 Speaker 4: draft and he was beside himself with J Spears. He 156 00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:37,240 Speaker 4: had a man crush on him all the way from 157 00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:46,400 Speaker 4: two Tilleen Well earned I'm talking, so it doesn't surprise 158 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:47,440 Speaker 4: me that he brings him up. 159 00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:50,520 Speaker 5: Look, you're the head coach of this operation, okay, and 160 00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:53,120 Speaker 5: you know, maybe maybe I'm the quarterback, which means I'm 161 00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:54,960 Speaker 5: gonna be in your ear a lot. You got to 162 00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:56,640 Speaker 5: give the guy credit for what he just said about 163 00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:59,040 Speaker 5: the team in relation to the stadium. That was impressive. 164 00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,880 Speaker 5: I mean, and that great analogy chills as you said. 165 00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:05,960 Speaker 4: Credit for that. It's one of the pillars of Titans radio. 166 00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:06,880 Speaker 3: You know what. 167 00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,320 Speaker 5: I've been trying to find the best way to describe 168 00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:11,640 Speaker 5: just where the Titans are right now, and I think 169 00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:12,360 Speaker 5: Reht nailed it. 170 00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:13,040 Speaker 1: Yeah. 171 00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:15,720 Speaker 2: I think it was a very good visual and love 172 00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:18,240 Speaker 2: keeping it in the Titans family. I think you can 173 00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:23,600 Speaker 2: tell that this team is ready to play football, real football. 174 00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:25,240 Speaker 5: This team or that team, well that. 175 00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:28,040 Speaker 1: Team too, maybe I don't know. Construction seems hard. 176 00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:32,080 Speaker 2: You can tell that they are definitely in a place 177 00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:36,520 Speaker 2: where they're tired of just acting it out. You know, 178 00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:38,600 Speaker 2: they're tired of making sure they're in the right place 179 00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:42,199 Speaker 2: and maybe going fast but not being able to do 180 00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:44,920 Speaker 2: the football things. Putting pads on is going to be 181 00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:48,280 Speaker 2: really big for this team, I think. And then that 182 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:53,040 Speaker 2: first joint practice in Tampa against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 183 00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:55,439 Speaker 2: I think is going to be a little rowdy. 184 00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:57,200 Speaker 1: Well, and I'm really excited about it. 185 00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:59,679 Speaker 5: Yeah, And I mean the other day coach Callahan was 186 00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:02,400 Speaker 5: saying to you, Will, He was like, can we please 187 00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:03,280 Speaker 5: put some pads on? 188 00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:07,240 Speaker 6: I think this coaching staff is also just eager to 189 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:11,200 Speaker 6: see how players in the trenches on both sides raise 190 00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:14,440 Speaker 6: their level with the added physicality. In the added level 191 00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:18,400 Speaker 6: of physicality for a fimioladjo in his first training camp 192 00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:21,400 Speaker 6: for a new offensive line working together. I mean, you 193 00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:24,600 Speaker 6: look at JC Latham, looks like a different human being 194 00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:27,079 Speaker 6: on the right side of this offensive line. How does 195 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:29,719 Speaker 6: he kind of drive this new car that he's got 196 00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:31,760 Speaker 6: to drive right now in kind of a new shape 197 00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:33,719 Speaker 6: and a new frame and a new body. He's not 198 00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:35,840 Speaker 6: got a big supercharge truck. He's got a little bit 199 00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:38,920 Speaker 6: more horsepower maybe to be able to last and be 200 00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:41,840 Speaker 6: the best version of himself in November and December this year. 201 00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:45,880 Speaker 6: But the first step of that understanding how to use 202 00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:49,120 Speaker 6: that frame and still throw that weight around a little bit. 203 00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:50,120 Speaker 4: I'm fascinated to see it. 204 00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:51,440 Speaker 6: I know this coaching staff is as well. 205 00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:55,080 Speaker 7: Well. Mac can speak on this. He always tells us 206 00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:58,720 Speaker 7: in great fashion multiple times a year, keep your powder 207 00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:01,560 Speaker 7: dry multiple times. You know there have been no pads 208 00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:05,240 Speaker 7: put on yet. But when Brian Callahan tells Will and 209 00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:08,640 Speaker 7: I men, I cannot wait for Pads to come home. 210 00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:12,880 Speaker 7: There's a lot of things he's looking for, to see 211 00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:15,679 Speaker 7: where this team is and to see where these individuals are. 212 00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:17,800 Speaker 7: What's he looking for? What's he talking about? 213 00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:22,480 Speaker 4: Well, look, there's a real sting that is on you 214 00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:25,280 Speaker 4: as a professional. When you only win three games in 215 00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:28,240 Speaker 4: the National Football League. That takes a lot out of you. 216 00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:32,800 Speaker 4: It does the coaches and players, fans, everybody was here. 217 00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:35,839 Speaker 4: So what you're looking for is to be able to 218 00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:39,360 Speaker 4: cleanse that, and the only way you do that. I 219 00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:43,640 Speaker 4: love the fact he was very, very forward thinking when 220 00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:48,719 Speaker 4: he scheduled two practices against opponents on the road. He 221 00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:52,240 Speaker 4: wants to make these guys as uncomfortable as possible, because 222 00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:55,000 Speaker 4: the quickest way to mature a player in this league 223 00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:59,440 Speaker 4: is put them in uncomfortable situations and see how they react. 224 00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:01,800 Speaker 5: Yeah, I love that you just referenced that, and you 225 00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:04,040 Speaker 5: were just talking about how critical the next couple of 226 00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,400 Speaker 5: weeks are going to be. I think we've all learned 227 00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:09,240 Speaker 5: in the last few years that those joint practices are 228 00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:12,239 Speaker 5: more important than anything else that you do in the preseason. 229 00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:14,920 Speaker 5: The games are great, it's great to be out here 230 00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:18,199 Speaker 5: and see the team. But you have seen in the 231 00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:22,240 Speaker 5: last few years, especially with the first team, that every 232 00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:24,880 Speaker 5: team in the National Football League is being more protective 233 00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:28,959 Speaker 5: of those players in the games, in the practices though, 234 00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:32,360 Speaker 5: in the joint scrimmages with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, which 235 00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:35,040 Speaker 5: they'll do a couple of times, they'll have a full 236 00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:40,160 Speaker 5: padded scrimmage, really practice joint scrimmage with the Bucks, and 237 00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:41,960 Speaker 5: then they'll have a walk through with them, and then 238 00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:44,439 Speaker 5: they'll do the same thing with the Falcons over the 239 00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:47,520 Speaker 5: course of a few days that I think we're going 240 00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:49,760 Speaker 5: to really learn who the Tennessee Titans are by the 241 00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:52,480 Speaker 5: time this team comes back to play the Vikings for 242 00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:53,560 Speaker 5: that last preseason game. 243 00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:55,719 Speaker 4: Well, the thing about it is the joint practice that 244 00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:57,760 Speaker 4: they'll do everything but take them to the ground. Now, 245 00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:01,360 Speaker 4: that's number one. It's going to be full fud. It's 246 00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:04,199 Speaker 4: full thud. But what you are looking for, especially with 247 00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:08,439 Speaker 4: a young football team, is how do they react to 248 00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:12,160 Speaker 4: a different environment and a different colored jersey because and 249 00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:13,959 Speaker 4: the other thing the reason you do it, you've only 250 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:17,599 Speaker 4: got three preseason games now, and this now gives you 251 00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:21,800 Speaker 4: basically two extra preseason games. And the fact that you're 252 00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:24,880 Speaker 4: going into it. With ninety players a piece, you can 253 00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:28,200 Speaker 4: afford to do some things pad wise. I mean, if 254 00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:30,559 Speaker 4: you were taking a forty three man roster in there, 255 00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:33,040 Speaker 4: you wouldn't do it. But you've got ninety people on 256 00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:35,760 Speaker 4: each side. So that's why that's what the league is 257 00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:39,800 Speaker 4: morphing to. Now with three preseason games, you're seeing more 258 00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:40,360 Speaker 4: and more of it. 259 00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:44,280 Speaker 7: Taylor, The way this thing has shifted over the years 260 00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:50,320 Speaker 7: is that the preseason games are for operational logistical things, 261 00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:54,719 Speaker 7: especially for first year players. But this roster has so 262 00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:57,760 Speaker 7: many new faces, so putting that together and being able 263 00:12:57,800 --> 00:12:59,959 Speaker 7: to go into the locker room knowing it's thirteen minutes, 264 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:02,679 Speaker 7: come back out, warm up, do your thing. But those 265 00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:05,719 Speaker 7: joint practices is where you can get the calluses on 266 00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:06,720 Speaker 7: top of the bruises. 267 00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:08,439 Speaker 1: This summer. 268 00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:11,880 Speaker 2: Seat Geek has your ticket to the best live concerts 269 00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:13,960 Speaker 2: in Nashville at Nissan Stadium. 270 00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:17,320 Speaker 1: See Geek has the best seat your seat for an 271 00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:18,760 Speaker 1: unforgettable summer. 272 00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:22,920 Speaker 2: From Rock Royalty to Rap Superstars, R and B to Country, 273 00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:26,480 Speaker 2: find it all on seat Geek, the official ticketing partner 274 00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:30,200 Speaker 2: of Nissan Stadium.

What's a position that you guys are 278 00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:46,960 Speaker 2: all excited about watching as we go into a little 279 00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:49,520 Speaker 2: bit more of a physical phase of training camp. 280 00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:50,520 Speaker 1: Taylor, I'll start with you. 281 00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:50,960 Speaker 7: Yeah. 282 00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:53,440 Speaker 5: I mean, look, I'm really interested in the past rush, 283 00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:55,960 Speaker 5: So you know, I don't know that that's a position. 284 00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:59,679 Speaker 5: I guess outside linebacker slash defensive end is what I'm 285 00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:03,600 Speaker 5: really looking at. And I think that anyone would tell 286 00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:07,199 Speaker 5: you that the Tennessee Titans need to improve everywhere, but 287 00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:10,000 Speaker 5: that's where they really need to improve. If you look 288 00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:12,280 Speaker 5: at two years ago, the Houston Texans were in a 289 00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:15,760 Speaker 5: similar spot to where the Titans are are now, where 290 00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:18,120 Speaker 5: they were the second pick in the draft, but they 291 00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:20,840 Speaker 5: only won a couple of games. They were rock bottom 292 00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:24,320 Speaker 5: in the National Football League. They went out and got CJ. Stroud, 293 00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:27,120 Speaker 5: and everybody talks about how quickly they went to the playoffs. 294 00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:30,600 Speaker 5: Will Anderson was just as big a reason why they 295 00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:33,720 Speaker 5: went to the playoffs because he's won very quickly become 296 00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:37,000 Speaker 5: one of the best pass rushers in the National Football League. 297 00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:40,840 Speaker 5: So My questions going in right now, are who are 298 00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:44,480 Speaker 5: those guys? Is arden Key able to be? That is 299 00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:47,560 Speaker 5: Jeffrey Simmons. Now the's lost ten to fifteen pounds. Are 300 00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:49,640 Speaker 5: we gonna we saw this a few times today. Rhtt 301 00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:51,800 Speaker 5: you hit me a couple times, say look, there's Simmons 302 00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:55,480 Speaker 5: on the edge. We're gonna move jeff Simmons around some now. 303 00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:59,400 Speaker 5: So are we going to see Simmons affect the quarterback 304 00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:04,240 Speaker 5: around to tackle instead of maneuvering around guards. I'm looking 305 00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:07,680 Speaker 5: forward to seeing that. Jones is another one. There are 306 00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:11,000 Speaker 5: a number of options that the Titans have from the 307 00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:13,840 Speaker 5: pass rush standpoint, but I'm really looking forward to watching 308 00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:15,320 Speaker 5: what they do there in the next few weeks. 309 00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:17,360 Speaker 4: I want to see the offensive line okay, and I 310 00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:19,840 Speaker 4: want to see the offensive line with somebody across the 311 00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:24,240 Speaker 4: line of scrimmage trying to break their face because that's 312 00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:26,720 Speaker 4: what I want to see, because that's gonna be critical 313 00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:29,400 Speaker 4: for this football team. I think they've they've done some 314 00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:32,840 Speaker 4: rearranging in the off season to help that, but now 315 00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:35,840 Speaker 4: those guys have got to come together. They've got to 316 00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:39,680 Speaker 4: come together, and look, Tampa Bay is a really good 317 00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:44,400 Speaker 4: NFC football team, really good NFC football team. And Todd 318 00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:47,280 Speaker 4: Bowles is a really good defensive coach, so he made 319 00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:49,240 Speaker 4: his bones in this league, so he's going to have 320 00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:51,520 Speaker 4: those guys on that side of it gunned up. I 321 00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:54,720 Speaker 4: want to see the Titans offensive line stand up to 322 00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:56,920 Speaker 4: that test early. That's gonna be important. 323 00:15:57,280 --> 00:15:59,080 Speaker 6: I'll go a little bit outside the box for this one. 324 00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:02,880 Speaker 6: What about the added physicality of wide receivers going up 325 00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:05,360 Speaker 6: against corners that are going to want to be physical 326 00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:07,720 Speaker 6: against them. And you talk about that Todd Bowles defense 327 00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:10,960 Speaker 6: and some of the dbs that will challenge this receiving group. 328 00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:14,200 Speaker 6: They've got thirteen receivers that are battling and there are 329 00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:18,080 Speaker 6: not a lot of guaranteed spots at that position. You 330 00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:20,280 Speaker 6: know what you're getting from Calvin Ridley here early. I 331 00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:22,840 Speaker 6: think it's a big point of emphasis, of course for 332 00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:25,040 Speaker 6: Calvin Ridley, who didn't have his first one hundred yard 333 00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:28,120 Speaker 6: game last season until the Detroit game, to really hit 334 00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:31,360 Speaker 6: the ground running with cam Ward, but who else? There 335 00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:33,240 Speaker 6: are a lot of spots up for grabs there. How 336 00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:35,960 Speaker 6: Tyler Lockett is deployed, I think is something that's really 337 00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:39,480 Speaker 6: interesting as a slot receiver, as an outside receiver, where 338 00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:41,640 Speaker 6: I think he was more outside than what people really 339 00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:44,880 Speaker 6: give him credit for the last couple of seasons in Seattle, 340 00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:48,520 Speaker 6: but Elcia Manner continues to really impress me.

You too, 415 00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:53,359 Speaker 4: were on the side thought, how did his team react 416 00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:55,440 Speaker 4: to that pretty dang excited. Yeah. 417 00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:57,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, and you do raise a good point. 418 00:19:58,000 --> 00:19:58,200 Speaker 3: Mac. 419 00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:00,639 Speaker 2: As much as I am reluctant to talk about special 420 00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:04,480 Speaker 2: teams from time to time, this is really going to 421 00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:06,560 Speaker 2: be a phase of the Titans game that is going 422 00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:09,560 Speaker 2: to be completely different this year. New head coach, a 423 00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:11,920 Speaker 2: lot of new faces in that phase of the game. 424 00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:16,440 Speaker 2: The specialists other than the long snapper are different, so 425 00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:20,280 Speaker 2: there's a lot of new there. Okay, So how do 426 00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:24,080 Speaker 2: they take it from kind of idea in the classroom 427 00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:27,800 Speaker 2: to execution? And I mean it's an incredibly physical part 428 00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:30,360 Speaker 2: of the game, So how is that going to continue 429 00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:32,520 Speaker 2: to evolve? And how are they going to continue to 430 00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:36,800 Speaker 2: find be competitive advantage within some rules that are still 431 00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:37,520 Speaker 2: pretty new. 432 00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:42,800 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a great point. Look complimentary football in this 433 00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:46,040 Speaker 4: league when you're playing on the margins, which this team's 434 00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:47,920 Speaker 4: going to play on the margins for a while because 435 00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:53,560 Speaker 4: it's young, special teams has got to be a compliment. 436 00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:58,280 Speaker 4: Special teams can't be something that is a hindrance to 437 00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:02,320 Speaker 4: your field position metrics, to your scoring opportunities, to those things. 438 00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:05,600 Speaker 4: And that's the beauty of bones fossil. I mean, I've 439 00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:07,959 Speaker 4: been with him from the start and have seen him 440 00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:11,040 Speaker 4: do this with you know, two free agent kickers, with 441 00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:13,399 Speaker 4: guys just off the street. I mean, the guy is 442 00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:16,240 Speaker 4: really good, but he gets the he gets the players 443 00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:19,440 Speaker 4: to buy into it. And that's a huge part because 444 00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:22,040 Speaker 4: most of the special teams players in this league come 445 00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:25,560 Speaker 4: into it. They've been starters everywhere else. They've been the dude, 446 00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:27,840 Speaker 4: they've been the guy, and all of a sudden, now 447 00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:32,240 Speaker 4: special teams, I mean special teams used you know, and 448 00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:35,280 Speaker 4: they're thinking of our high school days or the college 449 00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:37,960 Speaker 4: days where the special teams were just the roys the 450 00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:41,040 Speaker 4: rest of y'all. You know, that's that's what I was thinking. 451 00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:43,040 Speaker 3: Rookie of the Year, that's. 452 00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:47,359 Speaker 4: That's what that's what that's that's that's I'm from West Texas, 453 00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:48,159 Speaker 4: not not rest of you. 454 00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:54,200 Speaker 5: Rest of y'all certainly works in Tennessee any who don't, 455 00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:57,080 Speaker 5: and and include returners on that as well. 456 00:21:57,119 --> 00:21:59,359 Speaker 4: Look the whole thing of the coverage, the protection you 457 00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:02,359 Speaker 4: you I working those protections drills today down there with 458 00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:06,240 Speaker 4: those ropes.

I just set in too many of his meetings. 460 00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:12,639 Speaker 4: So to Amy's point, it's a big, big part that 461 00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:15,280 Speaker 4: can help an offense and a defense that are trying 462 00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:17,880 Speaker 4: to find themselves at least, don't get in the way. 463 00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:22,280 Speaker 7: Go back to Tennessee Titans dot com go scroll down 464 00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:26,480 Speaker 7: look in the video section from Thursday's practice. At the 465 00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:28,960 Speaker 7: end of practice, there was a huddle up with wide 466 00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:32,320 Speaker 7: receiver Bryce Oliver. You can tell me about how important 467 00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:34,680 Speaker 7: special teams is.

But I love playing special teams. I 472 00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:47,320 Speaker 7: love being a gunner. I love the physicality of it. 473 00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:50,200 Speaker 7: That is exactly what Bones Fossil is looking for, and 474 00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:52,600 Speaker 7: that when he had his first availability after he was hired, 475 00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:54,800 Speaker 7: he said, I need all the things that Ieron Marschher 476 00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:56,359 Speaker 7: talking about as a Titan, but I need a little 477 00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:57,800 Speaker 7: crazy in there.

Everybody stolen your pick, so. 483 00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:13,680 Speaker 4: You get to hear the boss, and you were a 484 00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:16,240 Speaker 4: little bit upset because everybody took yours. 485 00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:16,800 Speaker 1: Everybody. 486 00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:21,680 Speaker 4: If I was the boss, i'd go first. 487 00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:22,000 Speaker 3: You are. 488 00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:25,240 Speaker 5: She is the president of everything. She comes to the 489 00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:27,720 Speaker 5: Tennessee Titans and our broadcast team. 490 00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:29,880 Speaker 4: None of it works until she comes to work. 491 00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:32,040 Speaker 2: Well, I don't know about any of that, but I 492 00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:34,760 Speaker 2: will say a player that I'm really excited about watching 493 00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:37,359 Speaker 2: as this continues, And this is going to feel like 494 00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:40,159 Speaker 2: the cheating answer, but it's cam Ward. And the reason 495 00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:45,080 Speaker 2: it's cam Ward is because he's processing an incredible amount 496 00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:47,200 Speaker 2: of information and he's got a lot of things that 497 00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:50,320 Speaker 2: are going through his brain right now. But he seems 498 00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:53,119 Speaker 2: to have a pretty good grasp on what's going on 499 00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:56,920 Speaker 2: as things stand right now, when they're playing against error 500 00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:59,080 Speaker 2: for the most part, when no one can get hit, 501 00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:03,000 Speaker 2: when we're not going going full speed, full aggression, full out. 502 00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:05,720 Speaker 2: So now being able to ramp it up and have 503 00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:08,200 Speaker 2: it go to the next level, Okay, how does he 504 00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:10,919 Speaker 2: rise to that next level? How does he continue to improve? 505 00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:13,399 Speaker 2: How does he continue to see things the way that 506 00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:16,240 Speaker 2: he needs to be seeing them and continue to adjust 507 00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:19,159 Speaker 2: his game to this next level. So kind of a 508 00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:21,800 Speaker 2: cop out answer, because everybody wants to watch cam Ward. 509 00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:25,240 Speaker 2: But there's a development factor to it that I'm interested. 510 00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:27,880 Speaker 3: But Amy, what number does he wear? One?

Ashley, the official furniture provider of 528 00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:15,760 Speaker 2: the Tennessee Titans. 529 00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:17,840 Speaker 1: Now back to the OTP. 530 00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:22,080 Speaker 7: I'll go back to the secondary and in a particular 531 00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:25,240 Speaker 7: safety with Kevin Winston Junior, the eighty second overall pick 532 00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:29,240 Speaker 7: from Penn State, suffers in a knee injury at State 533 00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:34,600 Speaker 7: College last September, and that young man stayed here all summer, 534 00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:37,760 Speaker 7: from the time that they broke mandatory mini camp, in 535 00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:39,440 Speaker 7: the five weeks that led up to the start of 536 00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:42,600 Speaker 7: training camp. In the last few days, he said he 537 00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:45,520 Speaker 7: took the one hour flight north to go home a 538 00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:49,840 Speaker 7: couple of times, but Monday through Friday Saturday, most of 539 00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:54,400 Speaker 7: those times he was in the building watching film, continuing 540 00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:57,440 Speaker 7: to learn the playbook, continuing his treatment, so that when 541 00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:01,240 Speaker 7: he reported, he reported one percent healthy and not on 542 00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:05,800 Speaker 7: the physically unable to perform list. Big long physical safety 543 00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:10,920 Speaker 7: that can help this Titans defense. Looks good in a uniform, 544 00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:14,040 Speaker 7: for sure, but you can tell he has all chips 545 00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:16,520 Speaker 7: into the middle of the table. I want to see 546 00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:18,560 Speaker 7: him in pads to see what he can do. 547 00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:21,000 Speaker 6: All right, Well, That's where I was going to go too, 548 00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:22,560 Speaker 6: So now I'm going to think of another one as well. 549 00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:25,800 Speaker 6: But just real quick on Kevin Winston Junior looks healthy too. Well, 550 00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:28,399 Speaker 6: he does look healthy, and I think he looks like 551 00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:33,080 Speaker 6: what a Titan is going to start to look more 552 00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:37,560 Speaker 6: like moving forward in terms of lean athletic team captain 553 00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:39,720 Speaker 6: at Penn State, you think that means something for a 554 00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:42,359 Speaker 6: program that was not far away from winning a national 555 00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:45,159 Speaker 6: championship last year in college football. I mean, that's an 556 00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:48,000 Speaker 6: honor for him, but someone that you would have given 557 00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:51,159 Speaker 6: a little bit of grace to have an acclamation period. 558 00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:53,000 Speaker 6: He has hit the ground running and made it look 559 00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:54,720 Speaker 6: like he was here on the field for all of 560 00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:57,320 Speaker 6: mini camp and OTA's as well. I'm gonna go to 561 00:26:57,359 --> 00:26:59,440 Speaker 6: the offensive line and Dan Moore because I think for 562 00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:01,720 Speaker 6: all of the we've talked about on both sides of 563 00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:05,600 Speaker 6: the ball, for j C. Latham and Jeffrey Simmons transforming 564 00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:08,359 Speaker 6: their bodies a little bit, Dan Moore comes in as 565 00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:11,120 Speaker 6: maybe one of the most valuable players on this team. 566 00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:14,800 Speaker 6: And right at the beginning of free agency, Mike Bergonzi, 567 00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:17,600 Speaker 6: Chad Brinker in this front office made him a priority 568 00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:19,880 Speaker 6: to say, if we're going to have a young quarterback, 569 00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:21,800 Speaker 6: if we're going to bring in and trust and invest 570 00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:25,880 Speaker 6: in Cameward in our future, we need somebody to protect him. 571 00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:28,600 Speaker 6: And I think for Dan the sky is really the 572 00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:31,840 Speaker 6: limit for him, and it's so rare to find a 573 00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:35,720 Speaker 6: tackle in free agency in their mid twenties who has 574 00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:39,440 Speaker 6: the upward mobility and ceiling of Dan Moore. He is 575 00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:42,280 Speaker 6: a unicorn in a really good way. He coach as 576 00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:45,040 Speaker 6: much as you guys and US Titans Radio's head coach 577 00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:47,040 Speaker 6: planning for the draft. How many tackles are coming out 578 00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:48,840 Speaker 6: of the draft that are twenty four and twenty five 579 00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:51,080 Speaker 6: years old the way college football is right now, Dan 580 00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:53,240 Speaker 6: Moore is not far away from that at all. There's 581 00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:55,000 Speaker 6: still so much growth still to be had. 582 00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:57,040 Speaker 4: In his career. Yeah. I mean that's a good one, 583 00:27:57,040 --> 00:28:01,320 Speaker 4: because that's been a sore spot this football team, a 584 00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:04,600 Speaker 4: real sore spot, and that and the other caveat that 585 00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:08,800 Speaker 4: he does have. I always go to the offensive line 586 00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:12,480 Speaker 4: first because the precision coaching of Bill Callahan is amazing, 587 00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:15,720 Speaker 4: and Dan Moore nee to soak that up. You're right, 588 00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:17,440 Speaker 4: who's your player? 589 00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:23,879 Speaker 5: James Williams okay still James Williams okay olo femi ola 590 00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:27,399 Speaker 5: dejo femmy number seven for the Tennessee Titans. You know, 591 00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:29,200 Speaker 5: I mentioned the pass rush and I did not mention 592 00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:31,160 Speaker 5: him when I went through the pass rush a minute ago, 593 00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:34,280 Speaker 5: but he very quickly could become a big time part 594 00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:37,280 Speaker 5: of what the Titans are doing on defense in twenty 595 00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:41,080 Speaker 5: twenty five, and we talked about the energy and the enthusiasm. 596 00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:44,840 Speaker 5: This guy carries himself with a ton of passion. And 597 00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:47,960 Speaker 5: you were just talking Will about the kind of Titan 598 00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:51,080 Speaker 5: moving forward we're going to see. We're gonna see, you know, 599 00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:54,640 Speaker 5: a leaner, more quick player. But I also think you're 600 00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:58,160 Speaker 5: going to see a ton of people that bring leadership 601 00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:01,280 Speaker 5: to the Titans. You see that to Titans have seemed 602 00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:04,880 Speaker 5: to lean in on that this offseason that they want 603 00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:08,280 Speaker 5: glue guys. They want guys that are loud, that are vocal, 604 00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:11,280 Speaker 5: that are all that all have a ton of energy 605 00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:14,720 Speaker 5: when they come to practice, and Oladejo does, I will 606 00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:18,160 Speaker 5: say he's looked really good without pads on. Coach Callahan 607 00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:20,160 Speaker 5: the other day was like, just just settle down a 608 00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:23,920 Speaker 5: little bit, okay, man, let's wait until Dan Moore and 609 00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:27,920 Speaker 5: JC Latham get to put their hands on fimy with 610 00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:31,160 Speaker 5: everybody having pads on. But so far, it's been a 611 00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:33,280 Speaker 5: lot of fun. I don't know if I'm allowed to 612 00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:35,080 Speaker 5: do this, and now that I'm telling you I've done it, 613 00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:36,360 Speaker 5: I don't know if you're gonna let me do it again. 614 00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:39,760 Speaker 5: But I've gone to the other side of the practice 615 00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:43,880 Speaker 5: field in the middle of the defense, just because I 616 00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:46,480 Speaker 5: want to feel as much as I can here in 617 00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:49,240 Speaker 5: year one. And I stood next to Fimy for about 618 00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:54,040 Speaker 5: twenty minutes on Thursday, and I was just blown away 619 00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:57,160 Speaker 5: by this guy's motor. They kept telling him to come 620 00:29:57,200 --> 00:29:59,400 Speaker 5: out of the lineup and he get mad and he say, 621 00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:01,960 Speaker 5: you get two more plays and then you're coming out, coach, 622 00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:03,640 Speaker 5: give me a third play, Give me a third play. 623 00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:08,000 Speaker 5: It's unreal watching this guy. And then after practice he 624 00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:10,960 Speaker 5: grabs number ninety eight, Jeffrey Simmons and he says, jeff 625 00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:13,479 Speaker 5: I have some questions for you, And for ten minutes 626 00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:18,200 Speaker 5: he was grilling jeff on certain moves that he's trying 627 00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:21,320 Speaker 5: to make inside outside when you're trying to shoot the 628 00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:23,120 Speaker 5: A gap or the B gap or go around the 629 00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:27,480 Speaker 5: sea like he was asking all these questions. I love 630 00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:28,800 Speaker 5: high energy guys. 631 00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:31,000 Speaker 2: If you can't tell and he's got it, I'm going 632 00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:36,400 Speaker 2: to take another one because it's my show.

He has been a free agent 635 00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:45,480 Speaker 2: addition that's going to make an immediate impact on this 636 00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:48,400 Speaker 2: Titans team, and it's so much fun to watch him 637 00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:51,920 Speaker 2: kind of bring that joy, that excitement and that I 638 00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:56,600 Speaker 2: mean consistent performance to the field every single day.

Cedric Gray for sure, who missed 657 00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:55,360 Speaker 7: so much time with a shoulder last year, just there's 658 00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:56,720 Speaker 7: so many storylines. 659 00:31:57,040 --> 00:31:57,920 Speaker 3: We've got plenty to. 660 00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:01,640 Speaker 6: Go around the vertical eltse fun to see some vertical 661 00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:04,640 Speaker 6: routes today inside Nissan Stadium and some of the deep 662 00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:08,800 Speaker 6: balls to Calvin Ridley and some of the off script 663 00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:12,560 Speaker 6: stuff from cam Ward that the acclamation period of the 664 00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:15,120 Speaker 6: first two practices didn't afford us the luxury of seeing 665 00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:18,160 Speaker 6: quite as much. And hamstrings and vertical routes sometimes don't 666 00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:20,040 Speaker 6: go together, So those things you want to keep the 667 00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:22,000 Speaker 6: hand strings intact. You want to build up to some 668 00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:24,959 Speaker 6: of the vertical plays and vertical routes off script. As 669 00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:28,920 Speaker 6: these guys get more acclimated, get more comfortable seeing cam 670 00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:31,680 Speaker 6: Ward cook a little bit off script and late in 671 00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:32,840 Speaker 6: plays we. 672 00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:33,600 Speaker 3: Got a glimpse of that. 673 00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:36,320 Speaker 6: He's quite the showman with the fans in the stadium. 674 00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:39,080 Speaker 6: He raised the level up a little bit, and I 675 00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:41,479 Speaker 6: think there's a couple more notches he's got left here 676 00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:42,200 Speaker 6: in training camp. 677 00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:44,280 Speaker 4: I thought Taylor's oars are raised up when he was 678 00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:47,680 Speaker 4: getting the crowd going, yeah, that's what that's what. Look. 679 00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:53,000 Speaker 4: The way you judge a football team before the season 680 00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:56,600 Speaker 4: it starts, is what type of work did they do 681 00:32:57,520 --> 00:33:01,040 Speaker 4: in the five weeks that they were gone. That's what 682 00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:04,400 Speaker 4: you look for as a coach, because you know what's 683 00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:06,920 Speaker 4: going on when you've got them in the building and 684 00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:10,080 Speaker 4: then they're in a structured environment.
