Speaker 1: Welcome to the OTP. I'm Taylor's. Ours are happy free agency.

2
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:15,640
Speaker 1: The Titans were active signing a bunch of players on

3
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:18,200
Speaker 1: both sides of the ball, and you are going to

4
00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:22,320
Speaker 1: meet a lot of them right now. So without further ado,

5

Speaker 1: here they are the brand new Tennessee Titans. We've got

6
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:30,560

Speaker 2: I don't yet.

10
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:43,479
Speaker 1: You might have to adjust it just a little bit. Yeah, crazy,

11
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:48,240
Speaker 1: got the new helmet behind you, got the new hat

12
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 1: on as well.

13
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:51,000
Speaker 2: No, I like everything about this.

14
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 1: Yeah.

15
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:53,560
Speaker 2: I can't wait to see the jerseys tonight.

16
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know it's going to be it's a fresh look.

17
00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:59,639
Speaker 1: It's a new time in Tennessee and you're here with us.

18
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 1: Let's do it to kick it off. You pumped.

19
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 3: I'm overly excited. Probably I'm a little monotone right now.

20
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:07,759
Speaker 3: I had a long travel day flying out of New Jersey.

21
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:11,120
Speaker 3: I'm not going to miss that airport. But no, I'm

22
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:14,480
Speaker 3: super excited back with coach Salah back in the defense.

23
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:16,960
Speaker 3: I fell in love with and I'm just excited for

24
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 3: what's going to come.

25
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I know that you loved playing for him.

26
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 1: Tell everybody what we're getting in Robert salah Man.

27
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:26,199
Speaker 2: He's really a player's coach.

28
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 3: Just I can tell you on the kind of defensive

29
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:32,680
Speaker 3: side of the ball, what he did for me, especially

30
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 3: in my first three four years. He just I mean,

31
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 3: he just demands the best out of you. And he's

32
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 3: a very he demands a very violent and violent yet

33
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:47,320
Speaker 3: disciplined nature out of his defense. And but no, he's

34
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 3: he's just gonna demand a lot of you, both physically

35
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 3: and mentally. But what I like most about this defense

36
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 3: is especially how he does the defensive line. It's it's

37
00:01:56,520 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 3: not much thinking in terms of our jobs, but it

38
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 3: does require a lot of it out of us, if

39
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 3: it makes sense. It's simple, but it's not easy, which

40
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 3: is why he's brought in the d lineman that he has.

41
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 2: So I love that.

42
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 3: I love all that's asked of us, asked of me,

43
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:15,680
Speaker 3: and I just love I love the pressure. I love

44
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:17,639
Speaker 3: to be able to be that pillar for the team.

45
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 1: So it sounds to me what you're saying is you're

46
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 1: gonna have to work your butt off every single day

47
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 1: that he's going to put you through a lot in

48
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 1: preparation to be out there. Yes, and then when you

49
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 1: go out there and play, you're not going to have

50
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 1: to do too much thinking about scheme. Just go out,

51
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:35,359
Speaker 1: be fast and violent. Let all that prep that you've

52
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:37,239
Speaker 1: done pay off when you play.

53
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 2: Yes.

54
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 1: Is that right?

55
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 3: It's essentially that I like to say, simple stupid. Keep

56
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:44,959
Speaker 3: it simple, keep it stupid. But at the same time,

57
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,520
Speaker 3: it's not easy, which is why everybody can't do it.

58
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 3: You got to bring the right people in for it.

59
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 3: And I actually just text him and texting him earlier

60
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:56,399
Speaker 3: today just saying, you know, honest is a good job,

61
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 3: because I'm just getting excited and more excited every time

62
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:03,080
Speaker 3: I see somebody else he he traded for signed, And

63
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:05,359
Speaker 3: I honestly said, coaches pointing out the wall, I'll run

64
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:05,680
Speaker 3: through it.

65
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 1: Who's John Franklin Myers speaking of guys.

66
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:11,519
Speaker 3: You know, I owe a lot of who I am

67
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 3: today to John in terms of the player. And uh

68
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 3: and man, I mean I remember just coming in as

69
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:18,519
Speaker 3: a rookie. He was my vet and and I got

70
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 3: coaches going, you know, this is this is how we

71
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,799
Speaker 3: wanted defensive ends to play and you know, I've always

72
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:27,080
Speaker 3: been a tough and physical player, but John just takes

73
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:27,920
Speaker 3: it to another level.

74
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 2: He took it to another level.

75
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 3: And I remember watching him the first my first fall camp,

76
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 3: and man, it was John's very different, very very different,

77
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 3: and he earned every bit of that contract he got.

78
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 2: And I just can't wait to play alongside.

79
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 1: Him again and tell us who Aaron Whitecotton is the

80
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 1: new defensive line coach for the Titans.

81
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 3: In the same breath, Man, I owe a lot of

82
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 3: who I am today to him. He never wavered on

83
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 3: uh on how much he he wanted from me, how

84
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 3: much he wanted to get out of me, because he

85
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 3: see my potentially still does obviously, So I just all

86
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 3: him and how he goes about coaching his guys and

87
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 3: coaching me personally.

88
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 1: It's a little unusual for the play by play guy

89
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 1: to ask a newcomer to tell me all about the titles.

90
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 1: But you know more about who the new Titans are

91
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 1: than some of us do. But I know about one guy,

92
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:19,280
Speaker 1: number ninety eight, Jeffrey Simmons. How do you feel about

93
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 1: playing with him? Now?

94
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:20,920
Speaker 2: I'm super excited.

95
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:22,799
Speaker 3: I've been a big fan of his for a while

96
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 3: and he fits the scheme perfect already. Everything I've been

97
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:30,039
Speaker 3: talking about, violent, smart, and talented and he's all of

98
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,040
Speaker 3: those things. And what I've heard, I haven't gotten to

99
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 3: know much, but he's one of the first people to

100
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:36,840
Speaker 3: text me after the trade kind of went live, and

101
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 3: you know, I can't wait to get to know him

102
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:41,039
Speaker 3: off the field and his character, because that's another big

103
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 3: thing a lot of people don't talk about.

104
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:44,360
Speaker 2: And coach Solids.

105
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 3: Team is he goes for high character guys, so kind

106
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 3: of the trifecta talented, high character and gives all they

107
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 3: got And I think of what I've heard and what

108
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:55,360
Speaker 3: I've seen, that's a hundred percent Jeff.

109
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:59,720
Speaker 1: Jermaine from Afar, I've always really admired you because you

110
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 1: have you have earned every single thing that you've gotten,

111
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:07,040
Speaker 1: whether it's from community college to Georgia to Florida State

112
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 1: to the Jets and now with the Titans. Tell us

113
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 1: a little bit about your journey.

114
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 2: How much time we got so yeah, I mean I

115
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 2: just out of high school.

116
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 3: I went to junior college for a couple of years

117
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:23,719
Speaker 3: and then you know, thank god, I was able to

118
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 3: be kind of earn the rank of number one junior

119
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 3: college player in the nation. And then from there I

120
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 3: was able to pretty much choose anywhere I wanted to

121
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 3: go in terms of college, and and I ended up

122
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 3: charge changing or choosing the Georgia Bulldogs, and.

123
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 2: I loved my two years there.

124
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 3: Again, credit to them for the player I am, because

125
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 3: there's so much competition there and they never waiver on

126
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:51,600
Speaker 3: the standard ever, not one bit.

127
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 2: So I'll always have a love for the Dogs.

128
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:56,040
Speaker 3: And then I had decided to transfer and play my

129
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 3: last year at Florida State because you know, I just

130
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 3: wanted to want to see what I can do. We're heavily,

131
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 3: heavily deep at the University of Georgia. My position to

132
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 3: the whole defense, I think at one point every single

133
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 3: player on our that was on the field on defense

134
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:12,040
Speaker 3: is in the NFL and getting meaningful snaps.

135
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 2: So let alone my room.

136
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:16,839
Speaker 3: I think four of us went in the top like

137
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 3: thirty rounds if you look at the like twenty twenty room.

138
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 2: So there's no harm, no foulgist.

139
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:24,039
Speaker 3: I wanted to see what I can do with you know,

140
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 3: all the playing time I can get, and you know

141
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:30,359
Speaker 3: how great God is it ended working It ended up

142
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:34,719
Speaker 3: working out. I ended with twelve fourteen sacks, something like

143
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 3: that ACC Defensive Play of the Year consensus All American

144
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 3: and you know, ended up earning a first round in

145
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 3: draft nods. So everything works perfect. God's great, and you know,

146
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 3: I'm just excited for this.

147
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 2: Chev.

148
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:48,679
Speaker 1: I know that you are last thing for you. Cam

149
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 1: Ward has had some twists and turns in his journey

150
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:54,359
Speaker 1: as well, and he finished his collegiate career with the

151
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:57,239
Speaker 1: University of Miami. Are you ready for a little Miami

152
00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:00,120
Speaker 1: FSU trash talk because cam is going to give it.

153
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 2: It's all right.

154
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:04,360
Speaker 3: I'm used to it, and they had a pretty good

155
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:07,559
Speaker 3: year last year. But you know, I always I always

156
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 3: say thank you. I'm a big fan of Miami because

157
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 3: if it wasn't for them, I don't think I would

158
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 3: have had kind of my best collegiate game ever performed.

159
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 3: I ended up breaking a sack or TfL record in

160
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 3: that rivalry game. So you know, I always thank you

161
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 3: to Miami and their fan base because it wasn't for you,

162
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 3: I probably went and gone drafted as high.

163
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 2: So thank you.

164
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 1: That's that is a walk off comment right there. But

165
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 1: I have to ask you one last thing. What are

166
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 1: the Titans getting with Jermaine Johnson?

167
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 2: Man?

168
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 3: I just like to keep it simple. I love I

169
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 3: love the game of ball for the right reasons. Just

170
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 3: being able to play, being able to be physical, being

171
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 3: a good teammate, I think is more important than anything,

172
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 3: because if you're playing for something bigger than yourself, you're

173
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 3: gonna play beyond the abilities of which you think you can.

174
00:07:55,560 --> 00:08:01,240
Speaker 3: So just getting a tenacious, talented, and really caring teammate

175
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 3: all the above. Man, I'm just like I told co Salid,

176
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:06,440
Speaker 3: you point the wall out, I'm gonna go run.

177
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 4: Through it for you.

178
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:09,960
Speaker 1: Can't wait to see you do it. Jermaine, Welcome to Nashville.

179
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 2: Let's do it.

180
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 1: You see this guy that just came through here right now?

181
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 1: All right? That is Darryl Hughes from Western High School

182
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 1: in Frankfort, Kentucky. How about that?

183
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 2: Really?

184
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 1: Yeah?

185
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 5: Oh my goodness, now that's crazy.

186
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, how about that Western Hills High School? Western Hills

187
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 1: High School? Now, I mean the question is, is Daryl

188
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 1: the producer behind the scenes the best athlete to come

189
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:41,440
Speaker 1: out of Frankfurt, This man Wandale the best? That's to

190
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 1: be debated, Yeah, I say that little debate, A little debate. Actually,

191
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:48,199
Speaker 1: there's no debate. You're the best to come out of there,

192
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 1: and I know that you had a great collegiate career

193
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:54,199
Speaker 1: that finished with Kentucky and then went to the Giants,

194
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 1: and now here you are as a Tennessee Titan. How

195
00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 1: excited are you? Ill?

196
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 5: I still don't really believe it right now with everything

197
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:04,200
Speaker 5: going on, but I'm really really excited to be here.

198
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:08,080
Speaker 1: And you're coming off of arguably the best season that

199
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 1: you had in the NFL. You had ninety two catches

200
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 1: over one thousand yards. What was so great about your

201
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:15,560
Speaker 1: game in twenty twenty five?

202
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 5: I think just getting to do a little bit of everything,

203
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:21,520
Speaker 5: playing outside, playing inside, getting more down the field this

204
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 5: past year, and just being able to showcase all of

205
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 5: my abilities.

206
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you did it with Brian Dable calling the

207
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 1: plays for most of the season, and now here you

208
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 1: are with him again as the offensive coordinator of the Titans.

209
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,320
Speaker 1: How big of a factor was that? It was pretty big.

210
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:37,079
Speaker 5: I mean, me and Daves, we've had a pretty good

211
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 5: relationship ever since he drafted me, you know, just always

212
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:41,680
Speaker 5: being one I could talk to just about anything, not

213
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 5: just about football, but about life, and just felt like

214
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:45,760
Speaker 5: it was going to be a great spot for me.

215
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 5: And it was kind of a perfect marriage, just being

216
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:49,840
Speaker 5: able to come back and join up with DABS.

217
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 1: When I keep asking people about describing what his offense

218
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:56,280
Speaker 1: is like, everybody says there are surprises and he keeps

219
00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 1: you on your toes. Would you agree with that? And

220
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 1: is there anything else you would add? Yeah, he definitely

221
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:02,079
Speaker 1: does keep you on your toes.

222
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 5: Even though I was in the offense for four years,

223
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 5: I still come in sometimes and I'm like, how did

224
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 5: you come up with this?

225
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:09,320
Speaker 1: And but it's always great.

226
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:11,080
Speaker 5: You know, you want your coast to always be innovative

227
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 5: and bringing new ideas to the table.

228
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 1: So he's in there working in the lab.

229
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:18,559
Speaker 5: Yeah, constantly, constantly, I say, even whenever after the signing

230
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:20,679
Speaker 5: and say, He's like, you know, I'm in here working

231
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 5: and we're gonna have some good stuff drawn up for you.

232
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:26,560
Speaker 1: Tell us about now catching passes from cam Ward and

233
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 1: how big of a factor that was. That was pretty

234
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 1: big as well.

235
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:31,640
Speaker 5: You know, for a lot of my career, I haven't

236
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:35,520
Speaker 5: had just that one guy back there playing quarterback, and

237
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 5: it'll be nice to know that we got our guy

238
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 5: back there. And just watching the little bit of stuff

239
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 5: that I've been able to see of him, and I'm like, yeah,

240
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:43,080
Speaker 5: I can't. I can't wait to get back there with him.

241
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 1: We were talking earlier about this with Cordale, that we

242
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 1: get one Apostrophe Dale for Apostrophe Dale continuing to battle

243
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 1: it out in practice, and it's gonna happen now in

244
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:57,679
Speaker 1: Nashville because he's also signed with the Titans. How about that?

245
00:10:57,880 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 2: Yeah?

246
00:10:58,080 --> 00:10:59,320
Speaker 1: No, I was excited about that.

247
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:01,040
Speaker 5: He had texted me and it was like, I'm on

248
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:02,319
Speaker 5: the way with you and I was like, wait, you

249
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 5: mean you're coming to the Titans and he was like,

250
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:07,400
Speaker 5: we'll see, And then probably about ten minutes later the

251
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:10,439
Speaker 5: news had broken. I was like, yes, No, I always

252
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 5: say we were always pretty close locker mats, and we

253
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 5: had been pretty close ever since we got drafted together,

254
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 5: so I was I was extremely happy that he was here.

255
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 1: Mike Morganzi, the general manager of the Titans, has told

256
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:22,160
Speaker 1: us for the last year he wants the players to

257
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 1: run the locker room. He wants team first guys to

258
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:27,959
Speaker 1: run the locker room. Can you sense that that's what

259
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:29,360
Speaker 1: they're building here in Nashville.

260
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:31,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, for sure, I say, especially with all the guys

261
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:34,080
Speaker 5: that I feel like we brought in and just their personalities,

262
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 5: you can just tell they're all about all about the

263
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 5: right things and all about football and just wanted to win.

264
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:41,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I mean you think back to your first

265
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 1: game in the National Football League. It was here, it

266
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:45,720
Speaker 1: was Sign Stadium. What do you remember about that?

267
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:49,680
Speaker 5: Well, really, what I remember is my first catch got hurt. Well,

268
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 5: that's that's not gonna happen whenever we're in a Titans uniform.

269
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 5: But you know, it was a crazy game and just

270
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:57,839
Speaker 5: being a part of that NFL experience for the first

271
00:11:57,840 --> 00:11:58,720
Speaker 5: time was pretty crazy.

272
00:11:58,760 --> 00:11:59,719
Speaker 6: But excited to be here.

273
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 1: Does it feel like full circle moment now?

274
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 2: Oh?

275
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, no doubt, I say.

276
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 5: You and my dad and my family members, they were like,

277
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:06,480
Speaker 5: you remember where you played your first game there?

278
00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 4: Right?

279
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:09,560

281
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 7: Now.

282
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:14,920

00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 5: Whenever the games start.

287
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:27,440

Speaker 1: our broadcast crew, Will who's also a Vall and a

310
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 1: diehard Titan. Every time we saw another player that might

311
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 1: fit with the Titans. We would look at each other

312
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:46,560
Speaker 1: and you're balling out Saints Titans last year, and we

313

00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 8: Whenever they made a higher we coach, we coach slid

317
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:00,840
Speaker 8: here and I've always wanted to play for and so

318
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,400
Speaker 8: that was super exciting. And then I also knew going

319
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 8: into the free agency process that Tennessee could be an option,

320
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:09,640
Speaker 8: and so whenever things kind of started rolling, you know,

321
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:11,760
Speaker 8: I just kind of told my agent that I wanted

322
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 8: to be here and I wanted to play for him,

323
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:16,280
Speaker 8: and if we can get everything right, this is where

324
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:17,920
Speaker 8: I would want to go. And so it all worked out.

325
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 1: Why'd you want to play for coach Sola?

326
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 8: I've heard a lot of good things about him, and

327
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 8: I think, you know, when you play in this league,

328
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 8: you there's a lot of defensive coordinators who have a

329
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:28,280
Speaker 8: lot of respect. And obviously I knew about it when

330
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 8: he was in New York and they drafted Sauce and

331
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:32,840
Speaker 8: you know, he had DJ Reid over there as well,

332
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:36,760
Speaker 8: and just seeing the improvements and things that they've done,

333
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:39,000
Speaker 8: just knowing that you know, he's a product of that,

334
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 8: and he goes to San Francisco and everybody hears about

335
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 8: him in San France and then you see, uh, you know,

336
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:48,600
Speaker 8: Lenore in his game and see how it improved, and uh,

337
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:50,880
Speaker 8: you know, whenever I knew I was leaving New Orleans,

338
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:52,520
Speaker 8: I wanted to make sure I went somewhere where I

339
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 8: feel like I could get developed as well. And you know,

340
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:58,920
Speaker 8: his his his background proves it, and so I've always

341
00:14:58,960 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 8: wanted to play for him.

342
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:02,560
Speaker 1: How much have you been talking to Jeff Simmons about

343
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:03,240
Speaker 1: being a Titan?

344
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:04,320
Speaker 6: Oh?

345
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:07,720
Speaker 8: I haven't really talked to him too too much. Maybe

346
00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 8: a little bit. But like I said before, I'm super

347
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:14,200
Speaker 8: glad to be here. My family has been asking me

348
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:16,520
Speaker 8: how does it feel, and it hasn't really hit me.

349
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:19,880
Speaker 8: I think today it hit me that I'm back at

350
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:22,320
Speaker 8: home and and I get to play for my home

351
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:25,280
Speaker 8: team and my hometown and you know, brings some swag

352
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:29,480
Speaker 8: to the defense. I'm super excited about getting to do that,

353
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:29,960
Speaker 8: for sure.

354
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:33,240
Speaker 1: Tay. How many people will the tailors have at a

355
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 1: Titans game next year to.

356
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:39,040
Speaker 8: Me to count? But you know, that's what it's all about.

357
00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 8: It's all about family. It's all about keeping those who

358
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:46,720
Speaker 8: support you around and knowing that my family is just

359
00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:48,560
Speaker 8: down the street and that you know they'll be here

360
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:51,800
Speaker 8: to support me week in and week out. Brings a

361
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 8: different type of energy, a different type of love. And

362
00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 8: I can't wait to just kind of see those faces

363
00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:01,040
Speaker 8: and those smiles actually after we go out there and

364
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:03,080
Speaker 8: we win and you know, as a as a team

365
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 8: and we kind of turn this thing around.

366
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 1: I know you're a Coffee County guy, you're a vall.

367
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:10,200
Speaker 1: Were you a Titans fan growing up?

368
00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:14,560
Speaker 8: No, I wasn't. I really wasn't a big like football

369
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:17,640
Speaker 8: fan growing up. I was a big baseball guy. But

370
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:21,320
Speaker 8: my family they've always been Titan fans, my mom, my aunt,

371
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:26,160
Speaker 8: or maybe they were more like Chris Johnson fans. But

372
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:29,960
Speaker 8: now I came from maybe like one or two games

373
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:33,800
Speaker 8: growing up as a kid, and it was exciting. But

374
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:35,480
Speaker 8: now being here, there's a lot of things that I

375
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:37,000
Speaker 8: want to give to the youth as well in the

376
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:40,360
Speaker 8: community out here, and so really looking forward to giving

377
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:43,920
Speaker 8: those those things to the kids that I wish I

378
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:47,200
Speaker 8: could have had whenever I was in good old Manchester, Tennessee.

379
00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:49,280
Speaker 8: And uh so super excited about it.

380
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:51,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, I bet so have you. Did you ever go

381
00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:53,840
Speaker 1: to a game as a kid in Nissan Stadium? It

382
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 1: was the first time you were in Nissan Stadium, Man, I.

383
00:16:57,640 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 8: Think my first time ould have been like my junior

384
00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:04,240
Speaker 8: year high school. One of my friends we had like

385
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:07,439
Speaker 8: some free tickets or some tickets he had, and I

386
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 8: came to the game. It was crazy because when we

387
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:13,680
Speaker 8: played when when the Saints played the Titans last year,

388
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:16,600
Speaker 8: he actually posted it on Facebook like a year ago

389
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 8: was the game, and we played on that same year

390
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:23,120
Speaker 8: ago date, not year ago, but around that time, those

391
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:23,600
Speaker 8: years ago.

392
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:25,680
Speaker 1: It was the same day on the calendar.

393
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:29,879
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, And I was like, wow, it's crazy. So,

394
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 8: you know, God wres some mysterious ways, and this is

395
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:36,160
Speaker 8: just one of those testimonies.

396
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:39,240
Speaker 1: Make no mistake, this is a homecoming. But also you

397
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:41,640
Speaker 1: are one of the best cornerbacks in the National Football

398
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:45,720
Speaker 1: League and you add significant value to this Titans team.

399
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:48,640
Speaker 1: Any any player you model your game after.

400
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:53,480
Speaker 8: Yeah, I'm out of my game after Ramsey. Okay kind

401
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:56,399
Speaker 8: of said that a few times around. Uh, Jayalen Ramsey

402
00:17:56,440 --> 00:18:00,480
Speaker 8: is just one of those guys, very versatile guy, physical guy, long,

403
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:06,359
Speaker 8: long corner technician, can kind of do it all. And

404
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:09,000
Speaker 8: so that's why I modeled my game after.

405
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:11,680
Speaker 1: You're looking forward to going up against Cam Wharton practice?

406
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:14,760
Speaker 8: Oh yeah. I don't know if he'll talk about it,

407
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:16,480
Speaker 8: but you know, I was talking a little trash to

408
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:20,760
Speaker 8: Cam when the Saints played played here, and I think

409
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 8: he felt it, and I think he kind of attacked

410
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:25,720
Speaker 8: me a little bit because he felt me talking. But

411
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:27,400
Speaker 8: now I'm looking forward to that. I think that's gonna

412
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:28,720
Speaker 8: bring the best out of him and the best out

413
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:28,879
Speaker 8: of me.

414
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:31,679
Speaker 1: He loves juice, he loves that. I mean that that

415
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:34,200
Speaker 1: brings him closer to his brothers. You can tell that

416
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:35,440
Speaker 1: it's the same way for you.

417
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 8: Yeah, for sure.

418
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:37,040
Speaker 4: You know.

419
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:39,879
Speaker 8: I think when you do that, you get a different

420
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:44,320
Speaker 8: level out of out of each person. And so, you know,

421
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:47,359
Speaker 8: talking to him and things like that. Like I said before,

422
00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:49,040
Speaker 8: it's gonna make him better, It's gonna make me better.

423
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:51,560
Speaker 8: And then come Sundays, man like just playing for one

424
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:52,840
Speaker 8: another and playing with each other.

425
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 1: Last question, most important question for a man that grew

426
00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:59,680
Speaker 1: up just a little ways away in Manchester. What would

427
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:02,679
Speaker 1: it mean to a Lante Taylor to build a championship

428
00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:04,520
Speaker 1: contender with the Tennessee Titans.

429
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 8: I think it'd mean to mean more than the world

430
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:14,200
Speaker 8: to me. I think that would really write the whole story.

431
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:18,480
Speaker 8: I think you can go anywhere else and win a

432
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:20,640
Speaker 8: super Bowl, you can go anywhere else and win in division.

433
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:22,919
Speaker 8: But to do it in your backyard and do it

434
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 8: in front of your family and your friends and all

435
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:27,200
Speaker 8: those people who've been there since you was a kid,

436
00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:31,480
Speaker 8: I think words wouldn't describe it, can't describe it, But

437
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:34,879
Speaker 8: I do believe it's possible, and I believe that you

438
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:36,160
Speaker 8: know we're heading in the right direction.

439

482
00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:52,439
Speaker 1: your teammate in New York. Something tells me that you

483
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:55,280
Speaker 1: started looking at all this happening in Nashville and said,

484
00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:56,199

488
00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:10,239

489
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:13,400

493
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:23,879
Speaker 1: From the great state of Texas. So you had that

494
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:27,119
Speaker 1: experience with the Jets with coach Sala. Most recently, you

495
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:30,879
Speaker 1: played for Denver last year and we saw you early

496
00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:33,760
Speaker 1: in the season and thought you had an outstanding year

497
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:36,480
Speaker 1: for the Broncos. How would you assess where your game

498
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:39,159
Speaker 1: is or where your game is coming off of in

499
00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:40,120
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five.

500
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:45,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think you know, there's always people qualifying what

501
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:48,399
Speaker 4: you do, and so you go to the Jets and

502
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:50,280
Speaker 4: I do that. I get traded to the Broncos and

503
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:53,119
Speaker 4: get a chance to join the organization and playing a

504
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:55,760
Speaker 4: different defense, a different scheme, and you know, I got

505
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:57,320
Speaker 4: a chance to learn that. I got a chance to

506
00:22:57,359 --> 00:22:59,920
Speaker 4: play kind of inside a little more. So I feel

507
00:22:59,920 --> 00:23:02,080
Speaker 4: like I got better at that and I feel like,

508
00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:04,960
Speaker 4: you know, now I'm older, I understand the game more.

509
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:07,600
Speaker 4: You know, I still bring the physicality, I still bring

510
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:10,439
Speaker 4: the effort, but now I understand the game. I've played

511
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:12,880
Speaker 4: inside more and so now I feel like I could

512
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:15,040
Speaker 4: do more at a higher level.

513
00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:17,480
Speaker 1: Now more well rounded after that experience.

514
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:19,119
Speaker 4: For sure, I mean it definitely helped me a lot.

515
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:21,760
Speaker 1: How would you describe to all of us what a

516
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:23,600

Speaker 4: Man, I mean, we're gonna fly, We're gonna fly around,

519
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:30,040
Speaker 4: and you know, we play with effort, We play with physicality,

520
00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:32,240
Speaker 4: We play with violence is what we do. And we

521
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:34,600
Speaker 4: always gonna play with great technique. And you know, I

522
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:37,200
Speaker 4: love it. It's why I love this defense, is why

523
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:40,840

Speaker 4: to do this.

525
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:44,640
Speaker 1: Tell everybody who the Titans defensive line coach.

526
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:49,400
Speaker 4: Is Aaron Whitecott, and that's my d line coach. Assistant

527
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:51,879

Speaker 4: up and let's go do it. You know, And I

537
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:24,040
Speaker 4: think the best part of what we got going on

538
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:27,600
Speaker 4: is that we do have some versatility and everybody in

539
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:31,439
Speaker 4: that group we all play everything. We're all football players,

540
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:33,920

Speaker 4: all want to win. We all want to be physical

544
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:43,520
Speaker 4: and play as hard as we can.

545
00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:46,520

628
00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:31,040
Speaker 7: stayed down, stayed humble and just knew that, you know,

629
00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:33,480
Speaker 7: I just continue to be myself and it all work.

630
00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:37,040
Speaker 1: Out so well. And of course you played for Brian Dable,

631
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:40,320
Speaker 1: who is the offensive coordinator now for the Tennessee Titans.

632
00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:42,920
Speaker 1: He was your head coach with the Giants. What was

633
00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:44,280
Speaker 1: that like playing for Daves?

634
00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:46,640
Speaker 7: It was a great thing. I loved Dave like he

635
00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:49,800
Speaker 7: a good person, you know, family man as well. But

636
00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:52,719
Speaker 7: I even more appreciate them giving the opportunity, you know,

637
00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:55,120
Speaker 7: give me an opportunity to come there and play under him.

638
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:59,120
Speaker 7: You know, ball, make plays and you know, be through

639
00:28:59,160 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 7: the ups.

640
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:01,120
Speaker 1: We've been in New York.

641
00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:03,320
Speaker 7: And so now that he we're down here together, we

642
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:05,760
Speaker 7: see each other cafe till we're excited. I feel like home,

643
00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:06,880
Speaker 7: were ready.

644
00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:07,240
Speaker 6: To get to work.

645
00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:09,480
Speaker 1: What's it gonna be like going up against him as

646
00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:11,240
Speaker 1: he's calling plays against you in practice?

647
00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:13,080
Speaker 7: It's gonna be fun because I know his style, I

648
00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:15,320
Speaker 7: know how you like the tech things. So we're gonna

649
00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:16,280
Speaker 7: be talking a lot of trash.

650
00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:19,680
Speaker 1: Now, you shared a building with coach Salah for a

651
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:21,800
Speaker 1: couple of years, who now, of course, is your head coach,

652
00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:24,720
Speaker 1: and he's also calling the plays on defense. What do

653
00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:27,080
Speaker 1: you expect the identity of the Titans defense to be.

654
00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:29,600
Speaker 7: I expect us to be greedy, I expect us to

655
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:32,920
Speaker 7: fly around. I expect to, you know, play simple and

656
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:36,760
Speaker 7: play fast. And with Salah he's big on that. He's

657
00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:39,600
Speaker 7: big on the defense side of things too, And I

658
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:41,280
Speaker 7: know we're gonna change things around a lot.

659
00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:44,960
Speaker 1: Now. You did this in practice for the last couple

660
00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:46,960
Speaker 1: of years, and you're going to keep doing it going

661
00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:51,280
Speaker 1: up against Wandale Robinson and Daniel Bellinger who are also Titans.

662
00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:52,360
Speaker 1: Tell us about those guys.

663
00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:55,440
Speaker 7: Man one Day and Billy are two different guys, man, Like,

664
00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:58,240
Speaker 7: I love both of them. One Day his style is

665
00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:00,400
Speaker 7: just different. Like he's the receiver who can do it anything.

666
00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:04,560
Speaker 7: You know, he play inside, play outside. He can run fast,

667
00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:08,000
Speaker 7: it's catch rateds is good. You know, he'll block and

668
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:10,600
Speaker 7: a run game. He just do all the things necessary

669
00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:13,680
Speaker 7: to be an elite receivering belly man. Just all around

670
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:15,640
Speaker 7: tight end too. He can do the past, he can

671
00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:18,160
Speaker 7: do the run blocking. He'll stick his nose in that

672
00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:20,840
Speaker 7: whenever you need him to. He'll be reliable guy.

673

Speaker 1: the offensive coordinator for the Titans. How big of a

727
00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:11,600

00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:12,280

730
00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:17,440
Speaker 11: he's got one of the most creative offensive minds that

731
00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:20,240
Speaker 11: I've ever been around. And you know, knowing his system,

732
00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:23,000
Speaker 11: I feel comfortable with it, and you know, I'm excited

733
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:25,240
Speaker 11: to not only be in it, but you know work

734
00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:27,360
Speaker 11: with Gunner Helm and you know kind of being a

735
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:29,960
Speaker 11: duo and you know, doing a lot of things that

736
00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:32,200
Speaker 11: that we've done in the past with the Giants, but

737
00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:34,040
Speaker 11: now taking it over here and you know, having more

738
00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:35,440
Speaker 11: success with with me and Gunner.

739
00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:38,920
Speaker 1: How would you describe how creative it is to all

740
00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:41,040
Speaker 1: the fans that are watching, Like if you were trying

741
00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:44,280
Speaker 1: to just describe a Brian Dable offense of Titans fans

742
00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:44,960
Speaker 1: what would you say?

743
00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:47,920
Speaker 11: Yeah, I would just say surprising, like like Dave's you know,

744
00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:50,240
Speaker 11: can come up with some cool things, you know, using

745
00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:53,080
Speaker 11: different players in their skill sets. You know, a lot

746
00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:55,280
Speaker 11: of things that he can do that Cam can do.

747
00:33:55,840 --> 00:33:56,200
Speaker 6: You know that.

748
00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:58,440
Speaker 11: I know he's super excited about and we all are,

749
00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:03,200
Speaker 11: and so just seeing his creative ability and using his

750
00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:06,640
Speaker 11: talents to elevate you know, everybody around him. I think

751
00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:09,320
Speaker 11: it's the most exciting thing. And I would just say surprising.

752
00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:11,200
Speaker 11: He can surprise us with with some of the stuff

753
00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:11,799
Speaker 11: he comes up with.

754
00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:14,040
Speaker 1: Belly is that? How is that what you go by?

755
00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:15,839
Speaker 11: Yeah, that's the nickname, you know, I think I think

756
00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:19,880
Speaker 11: I think it stemmed from Cody Bellinger and okay, you

757
00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:21,400
Speaker 11: know when I got to New York, it was like

758
00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:23,680
Speaker 11: Bellinger and then I was like they just shortened it

759
00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:26,040
Speaker 11: to Belly and you know, carried Belly on through.

760
00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:28,439
Speaker 1: So well here we go. Well, Belly, I'll tell you this, man.

761
00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:31,520
Speaker 1: You you seem like a complete tight end, somebody that's

762
00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:35,279
Speaker 1: an exceptional blocker, obviously a great pass catcher as well.

763
00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:37,440
Speaker 1: How much pride do you take in being a complete

764
00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:37,880
Speaker 1: tight end?

765
00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:38,080
Speaker 8: Oh?

766
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:39,080
Speaker 6: A lot of pride.

767
00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:41,359
Speaker 11: I mean, what I think the tight end position is

768
00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:42,840
Speaker 11: is a guy that can do it all, you know

769
00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:45,040
Speaker 11: what I mean, whether that's blocking, whether the rout's going

770
00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:46,800
Speaker 11: out and beating the guy in the route, or making

771
00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:50,160
Speaker 11: the game winning touchdown, you know, whatever it takes to

772
00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:52,600
Speaker 11: be a complete tight in this league. I take a

773
00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:54,359
Speaker 11: lot of pride in and I think it's it's very

774
00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:57,439
Speaker 11: important to be able to do everything that you're asked

775
00:34:57,440 --> 00:35:01,319
Speaker 11: to do, including blocking, including passing, including catching, including running routes,

776
00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:03,200
Speaker 11: you know, including sometimes in the full back. You know,

777
00:35:03,239 --> 00:35:05,440
Speaker 11: whatever it takes, I think is what what a tight

778
00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:06,000
Speaker 11: end should be.

779
00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:08,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, and Gunner Hilm is another example of that that

780
00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:12,439
Speaker 1: you've already referenced. And the Titans retained their tight ends

781
00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:14,560
Speaker 1: coach from last year who looks like he could still

782
00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:16,960

795
00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:47,080

796
00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:49,720
Speaker 11: to Paliford or high school. Always had to compete against,

797
00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:51,680
Speaker 11: you know, the private schools and stuff. Always kind of

798
00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:54,080
Speaker 11: had a chip on my shoulder, was a little bit,

799
00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:56,400
Speaker 11: you know, if a skinnier kid coming out, you know,

800
00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:59,480
Speaker 11: ended up at San Diego State thankfully, and you know,

801
00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:01,440
Speaker 11: from there, we just we ran the ball like a

802
00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:04,040
Speaker 11: ton And so that's where you know, run blocking kind

803
00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:05,200
Speaker 11: of started and stemmed from.

804
00:36:05,239 --> 00:36:06,480
Speaker 6: And that's where I had to learn.

805
00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:08,720
Speaker 11: To like Okay, yeah, not only do I like blocking,

806
00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:10,319
Speaker 11: but I love the block and I and I can

807
00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:13,360
Speaker 11: see why blocking is so important to the to an offense.

808
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:16,160
Speaker 6: And then yeah, I got drafted to New York.

809
00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:18,200
Speaker 11: You know, with Dabs, and you know, grew a great

810
00:36:18,239 --> 00:36:21,240
Speaker 11: relationship with Daves And here we are already doing some games.

811
00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:23,360
Speaker 1: Hey, before we let you go, we want to know

812
00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:26,200
Speaker 1: about the battle and practice that you've watched the last

813
00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:28,960
Speaker 1: few years that you're going to keep watching between the

814
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:34,239
Speaker 1: Apostrophe Dales, Wandale against Cordale, your teammates the last few

815
00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:36,920
Speaker 1: years still are your teammates now with the Titans.

816
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:39,799
Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean Wandell and you know, Cordello Flout. You know,

817
00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:43,279
Speaker 11: just two great dudes, great competitors. You guys will see

818
00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:45,719
Speaker 11: the bunch in training camp, you know, especially when we

819
00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:46,320
Speaker 11: get to season.

820
00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:48,000
Speaker 6: But these two guys like they're going to.

821
00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:49,799
Speaker 11: Make each other better, just like they have the last

822
00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:52,120
Speaker 11: few years, and you know, they're just gonna keep elevating

823
00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:52,520
Speaker 11: their game.

824
00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:55,680
Speaker 1: And it really feels like the Titans are building a

825
00:36:55,760 --> 00:36:58,840
Speaker 1: culture of team guys and there's several of them that

826
00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:01,120
Speaker 1: are coming with you from the New York undred percent.

827
00:37:01,160 --> 00:37:02,839
Speaker 11: I mean, I think, you know, one of the most

828
00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:05,680
Speaker 11: important parts of a team is having that camaraderie and

829
00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:07,840
Speaker 11: having that culture of Hey, like I can lean on

830
00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:09,560
Speaker 11: my guy next to me. You know that guy's not

831
00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:11,920
Speaker 11: he's not a selfish guy, Like he's gonna do what

832
00:37:11,960 --> 00:37:14,160
Speaker 11: it takes for the team. And I think that's important

833
00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:15,839
Speaker 11: for everybody in the locker room, and I think that's

834
00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:17,200
Speaker 11: important for winning culture.

894
00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:56,840

895
00:39:56,880 --> 00:39:58,640

00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:15,399
Speaker 10: a part of it now and get to work with him.

902
00:40:15,440 --> 00:40:18,480
Speaker 10: And obviously Joey, I mean, super talented guy. I mean

903
00:40:18,640 --> 00:40:21,920
Speaker 10: he's got a massive leg you know, I've got some

904
00:40:21,960 --> 00:40:25,160
Speaker 10: stories about him in pregame where he's just crushing balls

905
00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:28,400
Speaker 10: from sixty five to seventy So huge leg and just

906
00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:30,520
Speaker 10: an incredible guy and big in the weight room. So

907
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:32,680
Speaker 10: it's gonna be a fun unit to be a part.

908
00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:36,280
Speaker 1: Of playing in Nashville. This season, you'll be in current

909
00:40:36,360 --> 00:40:40,240
Speaker 1: Nissan Stadium, and then obviously next year new Nissan Stadium

910
00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:43,880
Speaker 1: opens up. Indoors, It's a lot more indoor stadiums, it

911
00:40:43,920 --> 00:40:47,000
Speaker 1: seems these days. Tommy. How has that impacted your preparation?

912
00:40:47,560 --> 00:40:51,880
Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean, honestly, it makes it a little bit easier,

913
00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:55,000
Speaker 10: you know, pregame, when I get to the stadium, you know,

914
00:40:55,239 --> 00:40:58,200
Speaker 10: three four hours before the game, I'm going out, I'm

915
00:40:58,239 --> 00:41:01,520
Speaker 10: walking the field, I feel the wind. I talked to

916
00:41:01,560 --> 00:41:04,200
Speaker 10: the other specialists you know, you know before going into

917
00:41:04,200 --> 00:41:07,120
Speaker 10: the game typically to see what tendencies are with you know,

918
00:41:07,280 --> 00:41:09,120
Speaker 10: wind and weather, if you know. I haven't played in

919
00:41:09,120 --> 00:41:12,040
Speaker 10: that stadium before, so a lot of preparation goes into

920
00:41:12,040 --> 00:41:14,840
Speaker 10: it when it's outdoor games. So, uh, the dome definitely

921
00:41:14,880 --> 00:41:17,759
Speaker 10: makes it a little bit easier. Just get get used

922
00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:19,840
Speaker 10: to the visuals and the surface of you know, whatever

923
00:41:19,840 --> 00:41:22,640
Speaker 10: it's the turf for the indoor grass or whatever. It

924
00:41:22,680 --> 00:41:25,160
Speaker 10: may be for the indoor stadiums, but uh yeah, definitely

925
00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:27,640
Speaker 10: makes the preparation a little bit easier, but got to

926
00:41:27,680 --> 00:41:29,520
Speaker 10: be on your toes when you step out there every

927
00:41:29,520 --> 00:41:30,160
Speaker 10: time either way.

928
00:41:30,719 --> 00:41:33,920
Speaker 1: Finally, and maybe more most importantly, you're a world champion.

929
00:41:34,400 --> 00:41:36,960
Speaker 1: You did that with the Kansas City Chiefs a few

930
00:41:37,040 --> 00:41:40,640
Speaker 1: years back. How badly do you want to do that again?

931
00:41:41,200 --> 00:41:43,719
Speaker 1: And what does it feel like to be on a

932
00:41:43,880 --> 00:41:45,359
Speaker 1: world championship team?

933
00:41:45,719 --> 00:41:47,600
Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean, I mean, there's nothing like it. It's

934
00:41:47,960 --> 00:41:49,680
Speaker 10: you know, it's something that you dream about, you know,

935
00:41:49,760 --> 00:41:52,640
Speaker 10: since you're a little kid to uh, you know, play

936
00:41:52,640 --> 00:41:55,520
Speaker 10: for a Super Bowl and win a Super Bowl. So

937
00:41:55,600 --> 00:41:57,920
Speaker 10: I mean, I'm I'm I'm excited for the opportunity to,

938
00:41:58,120 --> 00:42:00,880
Speaker 10: uh to do it elsewhere, and you know, hopefully we

939
00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:03,200
Speaker 10: can get one and add another ring to the collection.

940
00:42:03,400 --> 00:42:07,320
Speaker 10: But but yeah, I'm definitely just gonna try and bring

941
00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:11,160
Speaker 10: whatever experience or mentorship I can to younger guys and

942
00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:13,239
Speaker 10: and help them out in big moments and advice for

943
00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:14,560
Speaker 10: preparation anyway I can.

944
00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:17,560
Speaker 1: Okay a lot. One more, what's the dream fake punt

945
00:42:17,560 --> 00:42:20,520
Speaker 1: for you? Are you running? Are you throwing? Is someone

946
00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:24,200
Speaker 1: what pull off in your mind? The greatest fake punt

947
00:42:24,200 --> 00:42:25,520
Speaker 1: of Tommy Townsend's life.

948
00:42:25,800 --> 00:42:29,840
Speaker 10: Yeah, honestly, I think it's a fifty to fifty split

949
00:42:29,920 --> 00:42:32,960
Speaker 10: between like running like sixty seventy yards and housing it

950
00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:36,439
Speaker 10: scoring a touchdown. But but I would also just love

951
00:42:36,480 --> 00:42:38,960
Speaker 10: to just launch a deep all just sling a deep

952
00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:42,960
Speaker 10: ball like fifty yards downfield, make a big play, and uh,

953
00:42:43,080 --> 00:42:45,840
Speaker 10: I feel like that would be really cool. But touchdown

954
00:42:46,600 --> 00:42:49,120
Speaker 10: any any way, shape or form would probably be Uh,

955
00:42:49,200 --> 00:42:50,200
Speaker 10: that'd probably be the dream.

956
00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:52,839
Speaker 1: I am sure you will be in Bones's office talk

957
00:42:52,960 --> 00:42:54,440
Speaker 1: about this at some point.

958
00:42:54,239 --> 00:42:55,680
Speaker 10: Soon, maybe in the next ten minutes.
