I really am, you know, excited, 0:00:54.640 --> 0:00:57.680 and you are I am, Jeffrey, Yes, and I'm I'm 0:00:57.680 --> 0:01:01.160 excited about this. This is what's going well. It's it's interesting. Yeah, 0:01:01.200 --> 0:01:03.640 the comments that you get, especially from football people in 0:01:03.640 --> 0:01:05.520 the building, that it'll say stuff to you, so they're 0:01:05.560 --> 0:01:08.039 paying attention. I like it, or there at least pretending well. 0:01:08.400 --> 0:01:10.320 Either or they know what a salty dog is, because 0:01:10.319 --> 0:01:13.319 that's everybody keeps calling me. I'm Scott Smith. And in 0:01:13.360 --> 0:01:15.200 a little while, we're gonna have a third person on 0:01:15.360 --> 0:01:17.480 for one of our segments. And you know, in these 0:01:17.560 --> 0:01:19.440 last couple of ones we've been we've been recording, I've 0:01:19.480 --> 0:01:21.240 been trying to decide whether or not to reveal who 0:01:21.280 --> 0:01:23.200 it was. But you know what, Jeff, they clicked on 0:01:23.200 --> 0:01:25.800 a link that says Salty Dogs with Randi Barr. Yeah, 0:01:25.840 --> 0:01:27.840 today they clicked on link that's the Salty Dogs with Mike. 0:01:28.400 --> 0:01:30.240 I saw. I saw that, and I'm a thinking, why 0:01:30.240 --> 0:01:32.560 are we holding out? So, yes, number forty, Mike all 0:01:32.600 --> 0:01:37.880 Start's gonna trade whistles ready, Yeah, excited about talking with him. Yeah, 0:01:38.040 --> 0:01:40.960 Mike's a great friend of the franchise and of us 0:01:41.080 --> 0:01:44.080 very much. They always very much from So, Jeff, we 0:01:44.319 --> 0:01:47.480 finally have a game to talk about, uh in Miami, 0:01:48.240 --> 0:01:50.720 which has the worst radio boots in the league. And 0:01:50.800 --> 0:01:52.840 you were a witness to that because you joined our 0:01:52.880 --> 0:01:55.480 pregame show. And probably the best line out of the 0:01:55.520 --> 0:01:58.560 whole broadcast is the U. They finally got to our 0:01:58.640 --> 0:02:00.440 end zone and Dave says, oh good, we can see 0:02:00.440 --> 0:02:03.440 the players that that is so frustrating, and you know 0:02:03.440 --> 0:02:06.080 what this is gonna come in for a question that's 0:02:06.120 --> 0:02:09.520 similar to at the end, But fans may not realize 0:02:10.040 --> 0:02:12.320 for for radio booth to be in the INDs on 0:02:12.440 --> 0:02:14.200 like that, there's a reason why they're there, and we 0:02:14.240 --> 0:02:17.600 all know what it is. It's money because radio boosts 0:02:17.639 --> 0:02:19.640 and even press boxes with the written guys used to 0:02:19.639 --> 0:02:21.400 all be in the middle of the fifty yard line 0:02:21.440 --> 0:02:24.040 and spreading out from there. But that's premium real estate. 0:02:24.200 --> 0:02:26.040 That's where we are at Raymond James State. I know 0:02:26.440 --> 0:02:28.520 that's very good that they've kept those booths and if 0:02:28.840 --> 0:02:31.920 the Glazier family has kept us right there. But you know, 0:02:32.560 --> 0:02:34.400 from when we got in this league and everybody's press 0:02:34.440 --> 0:02:36.359 boxes and radio boots were right around the fifty. Yet 0:02:36.560 --> 0:02:38.200 around the league they have spread out to the corners 0:02:38.200 --> 0:02:41.480 because that's mac that's great real estate for luxury suites, 0:02:41.520 --> 0:02:43.680 and it's understandable. I'm not even saying it's it's wrong, 0:02:43.720 --> 0:02:45.240 It's just is what it is. I don't have an 0:02:45.320 --> 0:02:47.840 argument with it other than just trying to do the job, 0:02:47.919 --> 0:02:49.919 because if you're looking at you can't do it down 0:02:50.000 --> 0:02:52.799 a distance. Looking down the field you can't tell if 0:02:52.800 --> 0:02:54.560 it's a two yard run or a seven yard run. 0:02:54.639 --> 0:02:57.760 You can't tell until they until they announce it. And 0:02:57.800 --> 0:03:00.000 so it's hard to get a real ques. Especially must 0:03:00.000 --> 0:03:01.880 be hard for you guys trying to call into an 0:03:01.960 --> 0:03:04.600 immediate field for what the plague? Yeah, what what happens 0:03:04.639 --> 0:03:08.119 there is? It's it becomes more of all hands on deck. 0:03:09.120 --> 0:03:13.280 Spotters are on more. I'm talking a lot. Uh t 0:03:13.480 --> 0:03:16.040 J on the sideline, who was actually on this side 0:03:16.360 --> 0:03:20.440 can feed us how many yards? So everybody takes another 0:03:20.560 --> 0:03:24.040 role other than just what they're doing. So we did 0:03:24.040 --> 0:03:26.440 get to see some pretty good football. We did, okay. 0:03:26.480 --> 0:03:30.000 We we liked what the quarterbacks did. Loved with the quarterbacks, 0:03:30.040 --> 0:03:32.240 every single one of them. I mean, Ryan Fitzpatrick should 0:03:32.240 --> 0:03:33.920 have been eight for eight, he was six or six. 0:03:34.480 --> 0:03:37.240 That great play to Chris Godwin. Chris Godwin like never 0:03:37.320 --> 0:03:39.160 drops the pass. He didn't really drop it. He dived 0:03:39.200 --> 0:03:40.600 and when he hit the ground, that's gonna have it 0:03:40.640 --> 0:03:43.000 popped out. Unfortunate. And then I think the last past 0:03:43.160 --> 0:03:46.320 Ronald Jones failed hold on so fits easily could have 0:03:46.320 --> 0:03:49.400 been for eight. And I thought, I thought Jamess Winston 0:03:49.480 --> 0:03:53.360 looked really good. I thought that to me, he just 0:03:53.400 --> 0:03:55.960 seemed like he wasn't pressing. To me, he just seemed like, 0:03:56.000 --> 0:03:59.200 I'm playing football and here we go. And you all 0:03:59.280 --> 0:04:01.480 last week we talked sed about him playing with the 0:04:01.520 --> 0:04:03.720 second and third string, and I don't like to say 0:04:03.720 --> 0:04:05.360 second and third string. If you're on a football team, 0:04:05.360 --> 0:04:07.400 you're on the football team. But for now, for now, 0:04:08.000 --> 0:04:14.280 But he elevated I personally believe he elevated their play 0:04:14.360 --> 0:04:18.760 because of the way he was thrown. You know, Fitzpatrick 0:04:18.800 --> 0:04:22.720 was very sharp and lead to scoring drives. Um I thought. 0:04:22.760 --> 0:04:24.640 The thing is so about Jamis was he made some 0:04:24.720 --> 0:04:26.359 throws that I don't think the other guys on this 0:04:26.440 --> 0:04:29.040 roster can make. I would totally agree with that, and 0:04:29.040 --> 0:04:32.920 that's that's why he's the quarterback when he comes back, 0:04:32.920 --> 0:04:36.479 I believe, because the potential for some of the stuff 0:04:36.520 --> 0:04:38.320 that he can do. He made some I don't want 0:04:38.320 --> 0:04:40.360 you to what called stick throws or something where it's 0:04:41.040 --> 0:04:44.520 a fifteen yard past the sideline, travels in the air 0:04:44.600 --> 0:04:46.680 like thirty five yards or something like that, and he's 0:04:46.680 --> 0:04:48.800 putting it on a dime between three defenders. There was 0:04:48.839 --> 0:04:50.280 one on the right sideline. I think it might have 0:04:50.320 --> 0:04:51.680 been to a tight end. I can't remember for sure, 0:04:52.480 --> 0:04:54.640 it was just a beautiful pass. And then Ryan Griffin 0:04:55.839 --> 0:04:57.680 the game. You know that by that point it was 0:04:57.720 --> 0:04:59.039 all reserves in the games. You have to take that 0:04:59.080 --> 0:05:00.479 with a grain of salt. But the game was not 0:05:00.520 --> 0:05:02.600 too big for him. He really managed it very well. 0:05:02.640 --> 0:05:04.200 And then he ran that two minute drill that you 0:05:04.200 --> 0:05:06.799 had to have to win the game. His reserves played 0:05:06.800 --> 0:05:09.760 better than their reserves, so you have to measure it somehow, 0:05:10.320 --> 0:05:12.480 and he did. It was less than a minute on 0:05:12.600 --> 0:05:14.520 the clock, and he ran it about a minute or 0:05:14.520 --> 0:05:17.000 saw on the half. I think moved him down was 0:05:17.080 --> 0:05:21.240 making the calls. Didn't waste time outs, didn't waste time, 0:05:21.839 --> 0:05:24.160 got it set up for a field goal, That's all 0:05:24.200 --> 0:05:26.160 you asked. In fact, he got down there so fast 0:05:26.160 --> 0:05:27.880 that we kind of wished he had wasted more time 0:05:27.920 --> 0:05:29.440 because we had to try to run out the time 0:05:29.480 --> 0:05:32.120 so they didn't have any. So you said something just there. 0:05:32.160 --> 0:05:34.760 You said our reserves were better than their reserves, and 0:05:34.920 --> 0:05:36.240 and you meant it. And I think it's a good point, 0:05:36.320 --> 0:05:39.200 as he made them, he elevated them. But I also 0:05:39.240 --> 0:05:41.120 think this speaks to something I wanted to bring up. 0:05:42.279 --> 0:05:44.680 I think it's fair to say, let me see if 0:05:44.680 --> 0:05:49.520 you agree. Has a buccaneer quarterback or group of quarterbacks 0:05:49.520 --> 0:05:52.520 ever had as good and as deep of a group 0:05:52.600 --> 0:05:54.480 of past catchers. I'm not talking about the back shows 0:05:54.560 --> 0:05:56.800 receivers and tit ends as we have right now. No, 0:05:56.960 --> 0:05:58.560 I don't think so. I don't think so. I don't 0:05:58.600 --> 0:06:01.520 think so. When you go, we know what Mike ems is, 0:06:01.560 --> 0:06:03.320 we know what to Sean Jackson can do if we 0:06:03.360 --> 0:06:05.240 can unlock that this year. And I'm Humphrey's is one 0:06:05.240 --> 0:06:07.240 of the better slot receivers in the NFL. Everybody's in 0:06:07.279 --> 0:06:09.479 love with Chris. Guy went in his potential and you 0:06:09.520 --> 0:06:11.640 still and then you've got that depth you're talking about 0:06:11.720 --> 0:06:17.160 Justin Justin Watson, Bernard ready to some extent um, Bobo Wilson, 0:06:17.200 --> 0:06:19.680 Freddie Martinea and even even the young guys like they 0:06:19.680 --> 0:06:22.400 probably won't make the team, but they played well and 0:06:22.480 --> 0:06:25.839 everybody who was called on did their job. Yeah, that's true. 0:06:25.920 --> 0:06:27.719 That's what I like. I was looking at some of 0:06:27.760 --> 0:06:31.160 the seasons, like the best scoring season in in in 0:06:31.560 --> 0:06:34.760 Buck's history, so a good offense, right was two thousand twelve. 0:06:35.360 --> 0:06:38.160 That team had v Jacks at his height. We just 0:06:38.200 --> 0:06:39.839 got him so that's a Pro Bowl v Jacks and 0:06:39.839 --> 0:06:42.280 Mike Williams, and that's a really good start. But after that, 0:06:42.320 --> 0:06:45.800 it's like Dallas Clark Tae Kwon Underwood not ripping those 0:06:45.800 --> 0:06:47.960 guys with that's Dallas Clark at the end of his career. 0:06:49.560 --> 0:06:53.200 Two thousand was next, and that was Keyshn Johnson. Okay, 0:06:53.279 --> 0:06:55.560 that's a good start. A lot of volume catches that year, 0:06:56.279 --> 0:06:59.960 no touch showns Jacques has Green, Rita Anthony, our friend 0:07:00.080 --> 0:07:03.120 Dave Moore. I mean, we love Dave Moore, but Jack hasn't. 0:07:03.160 --> 0:07:04.800 Ridel did not hold up to those the guys we 0:07:04.839 --> 0:07:07.760 have now. Two thousand and eight is next, and that 0:07:07.839 --> 0:07:09.600 was kind of a funky season because that was Antonio 0:07:09.720 --> 0:07:12.880 Bryant's one giant season here. But otherwise it was I 0:07:13.040 --> 0:07:16.240 Killiared at the end of his career. Michael Clayton really 0:07:16.280 --> 0:07:18.760 not at the top of his career. No, no, he 0:07:18.880 --> 0:07:22.600 Jeremicha Stevens. Michael Clayton did well his rookie year and 0:07:22.640 --> 0:07:25.680 then kind of film never never, never went back. And 0:07:26.040 --> 0:07:27.480 Joey Gallery was on that team, but it was at 0:07:27.480 --> 0:07:31.080 the very end. He only like twelve catches. Yeah, so 0:07:31.160 --> 0:07:33.480 none of these are are matching not even you know 0:07:33.480 --> 0:07:35.560 when I think comes the closest. And this team was 0:07:35.600 --> 0:07:39.120 not known for its offense. He was known for its defense. 0:07:39.160 --> 0:07:41.000 But the Super Bowl year of two thousand two, you 0:07:41.040 --> 0:07:44.520 had Keshan Johnson, you had Keenan McCardell. He was still 0:07:44.600 --> 0:07:47.480 very good at that point, Joe Jovisious, I was about 0:07:47.520 --> 0:07:50.840 to bring all this up, and you had decent tight ends, 0:07:50.880 --> 0:07:53.520 although somewhat later in their career, and Ken Dilger and 0:07:53.640 --> 0:07:56.800 Ricky Dudley. That's getting closer, but I don't think it 0:07:56.880 --> 0:07:59.000 stands up to what we got right now. And you 0:07:59.120 --> 0:08:01.280 had you still had Michael start in there, so it 0:08:01.320 --> 0:08:05.320 gave you well, yeah, I specifically said three but receivers, 0:08:05.320 --> 0:08:07.840 but I mean a running game helps your passing. And 0:08:07.840 --> 0:08:09.560 Michael Pittman was a great pass catching back and he 0:08:09.640 --> 0:08:12.240 was on this team. So that's the one part the 0:08:12.280 --> 0:08:14.000 reason I was kind of cherry picking there, because you 0:08:14.280 --> 0:08:16.400 are running backs right now are pretty much a unproven group, 0:08:16.480 --> 0:08:19.000 especially in the passing game. So yeah, there's some of 0:08:19.000 --> 0:08:21.480 these teams had better pass catching backs for sure, like 0:08:21.720 --> 0:08:24.160 two thousand two with Michael Pittman. And I'd like to 0:08:24.160 --> 0:08:26.720 say last week I was spot on about our our 0:08:26.800 --> 0:08:29.320 corners are don't worry about our cornerbacks at all. You 0:08:29.320 --> 0:08:31.360 don't need to worry about it. And who goes out 0:08:31.440 --> 0:08:35.920 on the first series, Yes, and that's a shame because 0:08:35.640 --> 0:08:38.520 because he's been practicing and he looked good. Yeah, and 0:08:38.520 --> 0:08:40.280 then it was a rough go of it for Ryan 0:08:40.320 --> 0:08:42.600 Smith who came in to replace him. But the rookies 0:08:42.640 --> 0:08:46.000 got in after that and they looked good again. Carlton 0:08:46.080 --> 0:08:48.280 Davis and m J. Stewart and even Jordan White had 0:08:48.720 --> 0:08:51.719 m Jay's Stewart is he's that's your guy. Yeah. I 0:08:51.800 --> 0:08:53.680 think he's gonna be my guy. He kind of like 0:08:53.760 --> 0:08:59.000 Godwin on the other side. Just yeah, just uh, I 0:08:59.040 --> 0:09:01.840 saw Okay. So we've been raving and raving and raving 0:09:01.920 --> 0:09:03.920 for good reason about Carlton Davis. But there was a 0:09:03.960 --> 0:09:09.600 playing practice yes Monday, I was in jury duty Monday, 0:09:10.200 --> 0:09:14.920 continue I was watching and they did um they did Skelly, 0:09:15.080 --> 0:09:18.080 which is basically like seven on seven red zone, so 0:09:18.120 --> 0:09:20.320 there's no pass rush, and they were only doing half lines, 0:09:20.400 --> 0:09:22.280 so you're only using half the field. You had three 0:09:22.280 --> 0:09:24.720 receivers or three pass catchers sometimes tight ends or whatever, 0:09:25.440 --> 0:09:27.200 and it's a half field thing. So it's pretty tighten. 0:09:27.240 --> 0:09:31.200 There these drills without defensive linemen favor of the offense 0:09:31.200 --> 0:09:33.360 because there's no pressure on the quarterback. But in this case, 0:09:33.400 --> 0:09:35.960 it's kind of compacted and it's it's running kind of 0:09:36.120 --> 0:09:39.520 combination routes and quick stuff. The first one, I don't 0:09:39.520 --> 0:09:41.720 remember who was in the slot or closest to the quarterback, 0:09:41.760 --> 0:09:44.160 but on the outset was was Mike Evans and he 0:09:44.200 --> 0:09:46.520 was matched up against Carlton Davis and just a good 0:09:46.520 --> 0:09:50.120 matchup because there's a size there. And I was standing 0:09:50.120 --> 0:09:53.560 with some of our fine communications slash PR guys and 0:09:53.679 --> 0:09:57.560 I don't remember which Jack group, and uh, I don't 0:09:57.600 --> 0:09:59.440 don't remember which one, so I can't give him credit 0:09:59.480 --> 0:10:01.480 for it. But he's like, well, Mike Evans. It's like, 0:10:01.520 --> 0:10:03.240 that's gonna be Mike Evans because we' guessing where they're 0:10:03.240 --> 0:10:06.640 gonna throw it. And yeah, I mean, Mike, listen, Carlton 0:10:06.679 --> 0:10:08.440 Davis has been great, but the rookie is not gonna 0:10:08.440 --> 0:10:12.319 be great on every play. And Mike beat him very 0:10:12.640 --> 0:10:14.880 thoroughly and was back in the end zone. It wasn't 0:10:14.880 --> 0:10:16.800 even like a contested one that he usually has to do. 0:10:16.960 --> 0:10:20.280 But see, I think that's good because that gets him 0:10:20.400 --> 0:10:23.320 to learn more. But it also was nice to see 0:10:23.360 --> 0:10:25.839 Mike Evans and know what kind of weapon you have there, 0:10:25.960 --> 0:10:28.079 So I think we know what kind of weapon we have. 0:10:28.320 --> 0:10:31.240 Here's another thing from the game that wasn't great. The 0:10:31.360 --> 0:10:34.360 kicker are new kicker missed an extra point and missed 0:10:34.360 --> 0:10:36.760 a fifty three yard field goal. But here's the difference. 0:10:37.280 --> 0:10:39.080 We can have a kicker have a bad not bad 0:10:39.160 --> 0:10:40.920 just so so Dame. I mean, you don't necessarily a 0:10:40.920 --> 0:10:42.960 fifty three yard or isn't a hugely high percentage one. 0:10:43.240 --> 0:10:44.800 And he made the game winner, and he made another 0:10:44.800 --> 0:10:48.480 one his kickoffs. Kickoffs were pretty good. Um, but it 0:10:48.520 --> 0:10:51.880 wasn't an awesome debut. But we can watch that happen 0:10:52.000 --> 0:10:55.800 and not get this impending sense of doom that's it's 0:10:55.840 --> 0:10:58.080 going to employ immediately. I mean, I'm not worried about 0:10:58.160 --> 0:11:00.280 Chandler Katon's are in the next game, isn't my point. 0:11:00.600 --> 0:11:05.040 The funniest line of the broadcast was at the half 0:11:05.440 --> 0:11:08.640 when t J was talking to Dirt Cutter and going 0:11:08.679 --> 0:11:13.280 through how everybody played, and as the interview ended, Dirt said, well, 0:11:13.320 --> 0:11:15.080 we got the missed extra point out of the way, 0:11:15.360 --> 0:11:18.559 that's right, and walked were just boomed, Mike drop and 0:11:18.640 --> 0:11:22.680 walked away, and I was like, Okay, right now, we 0:11:22.679 --> 0:11:24.080 don't have to worry about it because we already had 0:11:24.080 --> 0:11:25.559 it and they'll make all the rest of him. We 0:11:25.679 --> 0:11:28.240 certainly could happen. One other thing that happened in a 0:11:28.240 --> 0:11:30.480 game that I want to call back to our last episode. Um, 0:11:30.520 --> 0:11:32.000 we talked about some of the new rules and the 0:11:32.040 --> 0:11:34.760 diving rule, and I was kind of complaining about it. 0:11:34.440 --> 0:11:38.000 It was called in that game on a second in 0:11:38.120 --> 0:11:43.000 something near the goal line. Uh, Fitzpatrick scrambled and uh 0:11:43.040 --> 0:11:44.600 he the first time. I would have been at the one, 0:11:45.200 --> 0:11:47.199 and he dived and appeared to get to the two, 0:11:47.280 --> 0:11:49.280 and in the old rules he would have been credited 0:11:49.320 --> 0:11:50.800 for the two. But they actually spotted the ball back 0:11:50.800 --> 0:11:52.480 at the four because that's where he began his dive. 0:11:53.480 --> 0:11:56.920 I know this is yet another rule based on player safety. 0:11:56.960 --> 0:11:58.640 So I get that, and if that's what the league 0:11:58.640 --> 0:12:01.480 of the players want to do, fine, but I don't 0:12:01.480 --> 0:12:03.600 like it. I think a guy should have the option 0:12:04.200 --> 0:12:07.800 to dive for yardage as maybe not so much during 0:12:07.800 --> 0:12:10.320 a preseason game, but most definitely during a game and 0:12:10.360 --> 0:12:12.680 the playoffs. I mean he should have he said, the option, 0:12:12.720 --> 0:12:14.240 which means if you can't have the rule because you 0:12:14.280 --> 0:12:16.360 can't go, well, this time I'm diving for yards, but 0:12:16.480 --> 0:12:18.240 this time I'm diving to give myself up. They have 0:12:18.280 --> 0:12:20.080 to call everyone like they're diving to give themselves up. 0:12:20.080 --> 0:12:21.600 But if you're a quarterback and you know the first 0:12:21.600 --> 0:12:24.480 downs of the one, you're diving to try to get there, 0:12:24.600 --> 0:12:26.640 a lot of guys will do that. Now Fitz says, 0:12:26.640 --> 0:12:29.400 he dies because he can't slide. He's terrible sliding, so 0:12:29.440 --> 0:12:31.440 he would have been diving anyway. And of course then 0:12:31.480 --> 0:12:33.160 they take the risk of getting hit. But that's the 0:12:33.240 --> 0:12:36.040 risk you take if you are desperate for those two yards. 0:12:36.240 --> 0:12:38.400 What if this two yards? What if it was fourth 0:12:38.440 --> 0:12:40.480 down and he had to get there and he dives, 0:12:40.679 --> 0:12:42.800 They're gonna take it back. There's gonna be an ugly 0:12:42.840 --> 0:12:45.480 situation like that, and I'm not gonna I'm raising myself 0:12:45.600 --> 0:12:47.040 for it already and I don't like it, and it's 0:12:47.040 --> 0:12:50.679 not gonna take long. I agree. All right, Well, alright, 0:12:50.679 --> 0:12:53.479 we cover everything I think we did. We go to Nashville, 0:12:53.600 --> 0:12:56.440 so uh, as you're listening to this, we're probably already 0:12:56.440 --> 0:12:59.840 in nash right because we should yesterday. Yeah, we'll practice 0:12:59.840 --> 0:13:02.920 with the team. Um and uh, well not us, but 0:13:03.000 --> 0:13:06.360 practicing with the Titans. So that's exciting. That's that's a good, 0:13:06.480 --> 0:13:09.400 good experience. I like when we do stuff like that. Yeah, 0:13:09.480 --> 0:13:11.200 I mean, as Brent Grimes said today, is like, no, 0:13:11.240 --> 0:13:12.600 I don't really like it because I don't like living 0:13:12.600 --> 0:13:13.959 in a hotel for a week. But I mean it's 0:13:13.960 --> 0:13:16.000 still small. It's like, wait, I always like what Brett 0:13:16.000 --> 0:13:19.640 Grimes was talking about where he can't sit still, and 0:13:19.679 --> 0:13:22.520 you know that's true, right, I proved he proved me 0:13:22.600 --> 0:13:24.800 right from another podcast. Go back to the first podcast. 0:13:24.800 --> 0:13:26.959 I didn't remember that. Yes, good job. Yeah, he's the 0:13:27.000 --> 0:13:29.599 guy who's on the sideline kicking a football up in 0:13:29.600 --> 0:13:31.800 there like it's a soccer ball. Always find very good 0:13:31.800 --> 0:13:34.280 at by the way, always find time to play. As 0:13:34.320 --> 0:13:36.439 he says, yes, yeah, he deales say that he should 0:13:36.440 --> 0:13:38.760 be the play sixty spokesman for the NFL because he 0:13:38.800 --> 0:13:40.760 says it on his own. All right, that's enough about 0:13:40.760 --> 0:13:42.000 what's going on. Now. We're gonna come back here in 0:13:42.040 --> 0:13:44.080 a second and talk about since we're playing Tennessee, maybe 0:13:44.080 --> 0:13:45.920 a few Tennessee memories. There's not a lot because I'm 0:13:46.080 --> 0:13:48.480 playing with a ton uh and then we're gonna get 0:13:48.480 --> 0:13:49.800 to Mike all Style, which is probably what a lot 0:13:49.800 --> 0:13:51.760 of people who were waiting for to finish up with 0:13:51.760 --> 0:13:53.480 your questions. So we'll be back in just a minute 0:13:55.679 --> 0:13:59.599 the Salty Dogs. All right, welcome in once again to 0:13:59.760 --> 0:14:02.599 These Salty Dogs Podcast. This is the part of the 0:14:02.600 --> 0:14:05.400 show where we hey, you remember that when that happened? 0:14:05.480 --> 0:14:07.680 And since we're gonna be talking about the Tennessee Titans, 0:14:07.679 --> 0:14:10.160 this is gonna be a very short segment. We've only 0:14:10.160 --> 0:14:12.640 played them eleven times and we've only beat him twice, 0:14:13.960 --> 0:14:16.719 and one was before we got here. I think, well 0:14:16.760 --> 0:14:17.880 you might have seen it. I think it was in 0:14:17.880 --> 0:14:22.840 the eighties. Well, now I I my memory of of 0:14:22.880 --> 0:14:24.880 that was it wasn't at that game, but it was 0:14:24.920 --> 0:14:28.560 in the nineties. Uh, with Sam White's the head coach. 0:14:28.640 --> 0:14:34.320 We played at the um Astro Dome. We did. That 0:14:34.360 --> 0:14:37.400 must have been because I didn't think is before then? 0:14:37.680 --> 0:14:39.840 Well you said the nineties? What it was the nineties? 0:14:39.880 --> 0:14:41.960 I got here two, okay, so it had to be. 0:14:42.800 --> 0:14:45.920 When did when did they go to Tennessee? They didn't 0:14:45.960 --> 0:14:48.160 go until n start bring. They didn't go until later. 0:14:48.200 --> 0:14:50.480 This was this was under trust me, I do trust 0:14:50.520 --> 0:14:52.200 you this is one of these. This is one of 0:14:52.240 --> 0:14:54.720 these check marks. I mean, I trust you in regards 0:14:54.720 --> 0:14:56.400 to this. I don't want to make a blanket statement. 0:14:56.680 --> 0:15:00.120 Trust I understand the astrodome. Check did a game in 0:15:00.160 --> 0:15:02.760 the aster I wouldn't remember if I went to the Astrodome, 0:15:02.840 --> 0:15:05.080 you don't, you know? I dope? So maybe well ninety 0:15:05.120 --> 0:15:08.080 one was Richard Williamson. Yeah, Sam, you said, Sam White 0:15:08.120 --> 0:15:11.160 and I got here sandwich. I don't know either one 0:15:11.200 --> 0:15:15.280 of our failing not mine. I don't know. I remember stadium, remember, 0:15:15.360 --> 0:15:17.680 I remember Statius, but we lost that game. No, I 0:15:17.680 --> 0:15:19.840 think we won that game. I can't remember, but I 0:15:19.880 --> 0:15:25.040 just I just remember how cool looking it was. Earl 0:15:25.080 --> 0:15:27.720 Campbell there, No like I was trying to catch you. 0:15:27.840 --> 0:15:31.080 I know I figured you did. But what's funny in Pastorini? 0:15:31.160 --> 0:15:33.600 Uh no, no, but you know Dan Pastorini quit playing 0:15:33.640 --> 0:15:35.560 football and then he became a drag racer. Did you 0:15:35.600 --> 0:15:40.080 know that? There? You and that's a driver drag racing. 0:15:40.160 --> 0:15:42.680 I just want to make sure cars things like it's 0:15:42.680 --> 0:15:44.760 a new day and age. I don't know. I want 0:15:44.760 --> 0:15:50.640 to be um. But my story is as big as 0:15:50.680 --> 0:15:54.240 the astro Dome is, because it's still there. Next to 0:15:54.440 --> 0:15:56.240 the new stadium. I don't know what it's called now, 0:15:56.280 --> 0:15:58.680 because it was Reliant before and now it's something else 0:15:59.080 --> 0:16:02.560 in Houston g Year centergy or something. It's like a 0:16:02.640 --> 0:16:06.280 it looks like it's the shed for for that new stadium. 0:16:06.520 --> 0:16:08.080 That's the only thing, and the only other thing I 0:16:08.080 --> 0:16:11.040 remember about playing Tennessee is we were ahead and we 0:16:11.120 --> 0:16:15.120 lost in the fourth quarter, and I was miserable in 0:16:15.160 --> 0:16:17.360 the rain. Sorry to make you relive that in the rain, 0:16:17.520 --> 0:16:20.200 he said in the Astra Dome. No, this was This 0:16:20.280 --> 0:16:23.080 was the only other memory I have a playing tennant being. Okay, 0:16:23.120 --> 0:16:25.360 maybe it's the same game. No it's not. No, no, 0:16:25.400 --> 0:16:27.160 I'm saying, is the one I'm about to talk Yeah, 0:16:27.200 --> 0:16:29.760 in Tennessee. Oh no it's not. Then remember that one. 0:16:29.920 --> 0:16:32.200 This one was from This is really my only vivid 0:16:32.240 --> 0:16:34.120 memory of playing against Tennessee. I mean, we beat him 0:16:34.160 --> 0:16:36.680 in in two thousand seven. I vaguely remember that with 0:16:36.760 --> 0:16:39.400 Jeff Garcia, and I think we had I think Joey 0:16:39.400 --> 0:16:43.520 Galloway had a long touchdown. Okay, but in the season, 0:16:43.600 --> 0:16:45.800 was you remember that it kind of went off the 0:16:45.840 --> 0:16:47.440 rails a little bit in the middle, and we ended 0:16:47.480 --> 0:16:50.760 up eight and eight. Playoffs, UM three game losing streak, 0:16:50.800 --> 0:16:52.360 all close games in the middle of the first one 0:16:52.360 --> 0:16:55.360 was Tennessee and John Lynch was out for the game, 0:16:55.480 --> 0:16:57.240 and it made all the difference in the world because 0:16:57.240 --> 0:16:58.600 they ran the ball up and down the field on 0:16:58.680 --> 0:17:01.120 us for like two or fifty yards, but seventy one 0:17:01.120 --> 0:17:03.720 of those yards I remember the number. Seventy one came 0:17:03.760 --> 0:17:07.800 on a Steve McNair the quarterback. The quarterback scrambled for 0:17:07.840 --> 0:17:10.600 seventy one yards for a touchdown. Do you remember that, Yes, 0:17:10.800 --> 0:17:12.320 it wasn't. It was like third and eight and we 0:17:12.359 --> 0:17:13.800 had a chance to get the ball back, only down 0:17:13.880 --> 0:17:17.560 by two, and he play action, which is not really 0:17:17.560 --> 0:17:19.600 believable on third and eight in the first place. In 0:17:19.720 --> 0:17:21.600 turns was right and one of our alignement is there, 0:17:21.600 --> 0:17:24.159 I don't remember who, and so he cuts up and 0:17:24.200 --> 0:17:27.560 now always off and we've got we must have eight 0:17:27.560 --> 0:17:30.200 guys dive at him, and everybody just misses or they're 0:17:30.280 --> 0:17:32.600 diving and hitting each other, and he runs seventy one 0:17:32.680 --> 0:17:34.760 yards for the quarterback in the ice the game. I 0:17:34.760 --> 0:17:36.520 do remember. That wasn't a good minute. That was a 0:17:36.520 --> 0:17:39.320 crazy season two because coming off the nineties seven season, 0:17:39.359 --> 0:17:42.159 finally making into the playoffs have winning a playoffs right, 0:17:42.359 --> 0:17:45.679 going to Green a lot of expectations, and we were 0:17:45.800 --> 0:17:47.720 in the thick of things, back and back and back, 0:17:47.800 --> 0:17:51.639 and then um, last game of the year was Cincinnati. 0:17:51.680 --> 0:17:55.840 We beat him like touchdowns and we were flying home 0:17:56.400 --> 0:17:59.200 and uh, this is when we would have little TVs 0:17:59.520 --> 0:18:01.520 and you would have to change the channel depending on 0:18:01.840 --> 0:18:04.720 what's what state you're flying over. The game that everybody's 0:18:04.720 --> 0:18:06.840 trying to get. Yeah, it was the Arizona game. Jake 0:18:07.000 --> 0:18:11.000 Snake uh okay, and Jake the Snake drove him down 0:18:11.080 --> 0:18:13.040 and a winning field goal took us out of the playoffs. 0:18:13.400 --> 0:18:16.159 It went from cheers and cheers in the airplane to 0:18:16.400 --> 0:18:18.640 dead silent, right because even in eight and eight Affarizona 0:18:18.760 --> 0:18:20.520 last we would have made the playoffs on a tiebreaker 0:18:20.560 --> 0:18:21.879 over them, and then I think they went on to 0:18:21.920 --> 0:18:24.960
