00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 1: mentioned and both of you went on caravan last night.

46
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 1: We did. Now where did we go last night? Last night?

47
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:56,960
Speaker 1: We went to Fort Campbell to the Yacks, yep, and

48
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:00,359
Speaker 1: then we were at the Academy Sports and Outdoors in

49
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 1: Clarkswall Adam Humphries making his first appearances a Titan and

50
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 1: Rashaun Evans his first caravan. I believe, yes, both of them.

51
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:11,800
Speaker 1: They had a great time too. I mean Rashaun Evans

52
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:15,800
Speaker 1: was was more than happy to be there. I mean

53
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 1: he had to pull him inside the bus at the

54
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 1: end of it because he was getting in people's cars. Yeah, yeah,

55
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 1: he actually did get in it. I mean I think

56
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:25,919
Speaker 1: that's a violation of the law somehow, isn't Well. This

57
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 1: car was pretty uh pretty fancy, I have to say

58
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 1: it was. It was a Titans car. Mister Titan uh

59
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 1: Bounop I think is his name, from up in Clarksville.

60
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 1: It was decked out even insides of so he got

61
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 1: in the middle of it. They had some cookies. A

62
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 1: woman from a local bakery brought both of them a

63
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 1: cookie that had their face on it. Uh, you know

64
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 1: it was cool. I mean for uh, Rashaun Evans, he

65
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 1: didn't get to do this last year because he was

66
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 1: he was obviously the first round pick. He got here

67
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 1: after the caravan started. Uh, so he loves being involved.

68
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 1: He so much that he's going on it again today.

69
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 1: And Adam Humphries this is his kind of first goal

70
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 1: round with the team, and uh, he seemed to enjoy

71
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 1: it so much that I think he's already signed up

72
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 1: for another trip at some point here down the road.

73
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 1: So it's good for people to meet, to get to

74
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:16,160
Speaker 1: meet both of those guys. Great representations of the team,

75
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 1: and uh, certainly great turnout. I'll tell you what. Those

76
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 1: two guys had an absolute blast. Rashawn was having real

77
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 1: life like engaging conversations with every single person in line.

78
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 1: At some point we had to be like, buddy, like

79
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:33,360
Speaker 1: we gotta there are a lot of people here who

80
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:35,280
Speaker 1: want to meet you. We gotta go. But he's like

81
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 1: asking about people's past, like he wanted to know what

82
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 1: is going on in your life. It was just so awesome.

83
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 1: But man, when he started getting in that car. I

84
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 1: thought that we were going to have a taken situation

85
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 1: and we were going to have to chase that car

86
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 1: with a bus. It was great. Trac was there and

87
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 1: cheerleaders were Oh my gosh. It was a party. It

88
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 1: really was. It was just so much fun. Schedule posters, Yeah,

89
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:01,159
Speaker 1: the schedule posters are sharp. They are sharp. They're cool

90
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 1: this year. I mean they're always pretty cool, but this

91
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 1: year they're a little something extra. Yes, that's good stuff.

92
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:10,040
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, all right, So Rashaun Evans is going back

93
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 1: out today. Is the US Space and Rockets Center at

94
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 1: four thirty today in Huntsville, Alabama. We're gonna learn about space.

95
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:21,599
Speaker 1: That was Did you take your kids there when they

96
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 1: were young? No? And I'm I was telling Amy on

97
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:26,040
Speaker 1: the way in here. I'm contemplating, I'm gonna try to

98
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 1: hit that because it's making two stops. One of them

99
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 1: is in Franklin, I think, is it the Academy and

100
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 1: franknes See. Once again, you're getting ahead. So the US

101
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 1: Space and Rocket Center four thirty to six in Huntsville,

102
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 1: and then they're finishing at eight o'clock tonight at the

103
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 1: Cool Springs Academy Sports and Outdoors and of course it

104
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:47,720
Speaker 1: is the Academy Sports and Outdoors Titans Caravan and but

105
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:50,039
Speaker 1: the US Space and Rocket Center. I took my kids

106
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:52,920
Speaker 1: and it's one of the great trips we ever took.

107
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 1: First of all, it's an easy drive. It is so

108
00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:00,280
Speaker 1: awesome for kids to get to experience that the whole

109
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 1: And of course we're of the age we came up

110
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 1: when the space program was such a big deal. So

111
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:07,720
Speaker 1: I've been to Canaveral. I've done though. I mean, I'm

112
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:12,119
Speaker 1: fascinated by it because of sky Lab and guys walking

113
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 1: on the Moon and things like that. But my kids

114
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 1: just absolutely loved it, and I think that is going

115
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 1: to be a great stop today at four thirty I've

116
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:24,719
Speaker 1: never been. I'm very excited. And our Northern Alabama Titans

117
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:29,719
Speaker 1: fans are fantastic. Oh yes, it's always crazy. And Rashaun

118
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 1: Evans will probably be a big deal there because he

119
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:34,320
Speaker 1: played it out. Did he say he went to a

120
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 1: school around there? Didn't he didn't? They generally show up

121
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 1: when those Alabama guys come out. Yeah, So that's what

122
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 1: I'm That's why I'm I'm contemplating it. Easy move for

123
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 1: me is just to go to the Academy in Franklin,

124
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 1: which is not too far from where I live. But

125
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:53,039
Speaker 1: I'm intrigued by that stop and intrigued by the space,

126
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:56,840
Speaker 1: and I potentially could drive to Huntsville and experience that

127
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 1: part of it and then and then worked for them there,

128
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 1: So you could do that. Decision will be made, I

129
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 1: guess based on the reason I'm dressed up is because

130
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:06,280
Speaker 1: of an event that's coming up. So it depends on

131
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 1: how quickly this other event wraps up whether or not

132
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 1: I'll be able to go to Huntsville or not. I

133
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:14,679
Speaker 1: love going to Huntsville. Rashaun Evans, Dennis Kelly, Sharif Finch,

140
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 1: some social media yet, Miss Wells, I have one question.

141
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 1: Jim Wyatt's here. You've got your big channel. Well, I know,

142
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 1: and this is a Jim Watt, Jim, people want to

143
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 1: know where you put your pencils when you're not wearing

144
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 1: a visor. That's a great question. I keep him in pockets.

145
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 1: I keep I mean, I'll keep them behind an ear.

146
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 1: I keep him in pockets. I keep him in pants.

147
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 1: Got one here on the table here, and sometimes, you know,

148
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 1: I could always like to have them easy access. I

149
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 1: wear them in the visor. Not because it's such a

150
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 1: good look. I mean, everybody likes a visor, and that

151
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 1: likes a pencil and a visor, but it's but if

152
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 1: you can just grab it so quickly, it's tough to

153
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 1: rust the pencil on the ear when you've got a

154
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 1: visor on. So I put them up in the visor,

155
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:20,040
Speaker 1: or if I need one, um, just go reaching this there.

156
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 1: How many pairs of pants have you ruined over the

157
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:24,880
Speaker 1: years by leaving a pencil when you put them in

158
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 1: the Wah? Yeah, that's you know, pens do that. That's

159
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 1: why I kind of went to pencils. But uh, that's

160
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:32,839
Speaker 1: you know, that's one of the main reasons I wear

161
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:34,439
Speaker 1: the visors, just so I have a place to keep

162
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 1: my pencils. You can tell how busy, Jim, why it

163
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 1: is on any given day by the number of pencils

164
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:47,720
Speaker 1: and advisor a three to four pencil days sometimes because

165
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:49,439
Speaker 1: I don't want to be caught with that one. It's funny.

166
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 1: Sometimes I'll notice I've got three or four up there

167
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 1: one of my pocket. Uh, just don't want to be

168
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 1: caught with that one. Nice yep, all right, So let's

Speaker 1: talk about your reaction and you a special mail bag

170

Speaker 1: fans to their favorite moments from the draft. By the way,

172

Speaker 1: the last OTP road to Nashville. Jim White, your reaction

181
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:38,079
Speaker 1: to the draft and your best memories, well, this the

182
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:40,559
Speaker 1: whole experience was incredible to me. I mean, someone that

183
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:42,839
Speaker 1: grew up at Nashville like you did and saw I

184
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:45,440
Speaker 1: have seen how this city has grown so much over

185
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 1: the years, and I've been to drafts in Philadelphia, you know,

186
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 1: like Amy in Chicago and Dallas, and it didn't compare

187
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 1: to this draft in Nashville. Just to see people lining

188
00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:01,360
Speaker 1: the streets of Broadway and just the excite man. I mean, uh,

189
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:04,000
Speaker 1: I was spent so much time downtown leading up to it,

190
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 1: just because I was curious to see the way it

191
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 1: was gonna look. I went down there Sunday. I think

192
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 1: I went down there Tuesday Wednesday just to kind of

193
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 1: watch it all come together. So to see it as

194
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 1: a finished product on Thursday, and to see the crowds

195
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 1: of people, Uh, it was unbelievable. In such a proud

196
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 1: moment for people who grew up in Nashville I have

197
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:24,839
Speaker 1: to met. Uh, you know, there were there were a

198
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 1: couple of times during that night when I looked out

199
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:29,839
Speaker 1: and saw the crowd, I got choked up. I was

200
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 1: so emotional about it. And you know, I'm an emotional

201
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 1: person anyway. I cry every time I go off to college. Uh,

202
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 1: you know, even when they come home visit for the

203
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:41,600
Speaker 1: weekend and leave, I get choked up. I get choked up.

204
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:44,199
Speaker 1: And I watched Forest Gump, so I've seen it probably

205
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:47,840
Speaker 1: fifteen twenty times. But uh, but so I'm I'm app,

206
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:55,360
Speaker 1: So I'm app to get you. That's a tough scene.

207
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:59,080
Speaker 1: So but it was incredible because I grew up here.

208
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:02,319
Speaker 1: As I said, my dad worked in that courthouse downtown

209
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 1: for almost forty years as a judge when I was

210
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:07,839
Speaker 1: in college, not when I was in college. When I

211
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 1: was a high school In college, I worked a summer

212
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:11,840
Speaker 1: job in the courthouse. When I got out of college,

213
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 1: I worked in the middle of downtown. And downtown used

214
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:16,679
Speaker 1: to be the place that no one wanted to go.

215
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:19,320
Speaker 1: I mean when I was when I got out, more

216
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:21,679
Speaker 1: than I do now. Second Avenue was a place to be.

217
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 1: Nobody went to Broadway. So Broadway has taken off over

218
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 1: the last twenty years, and it was on full display

219
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:31,600
Speaker 1: during Draft weekend. And to see how many people were

220
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 1: having fun, and to see how many Titans fans were

221
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:35,679
Speaker 1: in the street, and to see people from all over

222
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 1: the country and all over the world in town, it

223
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 1: was such a proud moment for everybody that's part of

224
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:46,239
Speaker 1: this franchise. But if you certainly grew up in Nashville

225
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:49,680
Speaker 1: and thought back to just how far this city has come,

226
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 1: and he couldn't help but get a little emotional about

227
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:56,719
Speaker 1: it in my case, and you said it too. The

228
00:11:56,840 --> 00:12:00,680
Speaker 1: Titans fans really represented. That was what was really strong.

229
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:03,079
Speaker 1: I mean, the fans from other teams were there and

230
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 1: were representing their ball club and great for them. All

231
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 1: NFL fans excited, it's an all NFL event, but the

232
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 1: Titans fans just came out in force. They were everywhere.

233
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:18,600
Speaker 1: It was so cool to see that many Titans fans

234
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 1: in one group. There were it was massive. So just

235
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:25,320
Speaker 1: to be able to look out and have the predominant

236
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:28,720
Speaker 1: color that you see be Titans blue, it was awesome.

237
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:31,679
Speaker 1: It was so cool. But also, I mean, I think

238
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:35,439
Speaker 1: that this showed that Nashville can host a party and

239
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:39,360
Speaker 1: host it well you know. I mean, there wasn't anything

240
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:43,559
Speaker 1: crazy that happened. People just genuinely had fun. There was

241
00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 1: no destruction, there was no chaos. You know, people had

242
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 1: a good time. They had a great party. Nothing crazy happened.

243
00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:56,160
Speaker 1: It was just good, clean fun that appealed to everybody.

244
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:58,319
Speaker 1: And I am so proud that we were able to

245
00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:00,719
Speaker 1: host an event like that in this city. And it

246
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 1: was everywhere, I mean over the Nissan Stadium side. It

247
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:06,120
Speaker 1: was like a small city there where the NFL experience

248
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:08,679
Speaker 1: was and there were so many activities there. You know,

249
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 1: we were at the you know, the Red Carpet, which

250
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:14,720
Speaker 1: was a great event where you had not only uh,

251
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 1: you know, some of the draft prospects come through, but

252
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 1: a lot of you know, celebrities and other people in

253
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:23,320
Speaker 1: the city. Amy Adams trunk walked the Red carpet, Steve

254
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:26,920
Speaker 1: Underwood was there, Uh, you know, the mayor, the tissue banned.

255
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:31,600
Speaker 1: And then to see the draft itself on that Thursday night,

256
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:36,200
Speaker 1: I mean, uh, it was unbelievable, just the the excitement

257
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:39,480
Speaker 1: and the atmosphere leading up to the pick and uh

258
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:41,599
Speaker 1: and then the people had a blout. I thought the

259
00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:44,800
Speaker 1: house band was good and kept people entertained in between picks.

260
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 1: Uh left there, Uh, you know, probably one one thirty

261
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 1: on Thursday, not you know, early Friday morning. There were

262
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 1: still a lot of people on the streets of Broadway,

263
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:57,600
Speaker 1: just as everyone kind of thought when the draft ended,

264
00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 1: it the really the party didn't stop. So it was

265
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:02,599
Speaker 1: it was a heck of a lot of fun. And

266
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 1: I'll be shocked if this draft is not back here

267
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:07,960
Speaker 1: in Nashville at some point that they're not so distant future.

268
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 1: I think you're right. I mean it's almost like New

269
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:14,600
Speaker 1: Orleans and Miami have always been part of the regular

270
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 1: Super Bowl rotation. If they develop a regular draft rotation,

271
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:24,400
Speaker 1: how would Nashville not be there? And would they not

272
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:29,320
Speaker 1: think about drawing up a regular rotation because of this?

273
00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:31,360
Speaker 1: Just to say, you know what, we need to be

274
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 1: there every five to ten years. We make a ton

275
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 1: of sense. Yeah, I mean, people love Nashville. I mean,

276
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:39,520
Speaker 1: and the Vegas is gonna be a outstanding I mean

277
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 1: I heard it's gonna be on the strip. I don't

278
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 1: know how they're gonna be to pull that off where

279
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:44,520
Speaker 1: they can stop traffic. Maybe they've got a part of

280
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 1: the strip that they can close it off and do it.

281
00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 1: But and you're gonna have a bit crowd in Vegas

282
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 1: because people go to Vegas just because it's Vegas. But

283
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 1: as far as the cities that have hosted before, I

284
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:57,320
Speaker 1: remember posting some pictures and there were a couple of

285
00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 1: fans from Philadelphia, I guess that were tweeting back pictures

286
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 1: of the Philadelphia crowd and say, yeah, Nashville is great,

287
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:06,920
Speaker 1: but it wasn't anything like this. Well, Philadelphia was nothing

288
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:09,360
Speaker 1: like Nashville. And just look at the attendance figures. I mean,

289
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:12,880
Speaker 1: Nashville six hundred thousand people there for three days. Philadelphia

290
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:15,920
Speaker 1: again did a great job hosting the Draft two hundred

291
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:18,680
Speaker 1: fifty thousand, twice as many people were there for that event.

292
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:21,680
Speaker 1: So there's no comparison. I don't care how many pictures

293
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:27,360
Speaker 1: to send me, you will not be convinced. All right,

294
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 1: Amy Wells some social media questions. I have a lot

295
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 1: of football questions for you guys. Okay, So the first

296
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 1: one is, how do you guys see the final five

297
00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:41,160
Speaker 1: offensive linemen shaping up? Well, I think obviously the tackle

298
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:44,320
Speaker 1: is gonna be conkling on the one. I think, you know,

299
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 1: Ben Jones is gonna be the starting center, Roger Saffold

300
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:49,560
Speaker 1: will be the starting guard, and then I think the

301
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 1: battle is on for that other spot. And m Kevin

302
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:55,480
Speaker 1: Palm Fields, a guy that has been talked about so

303
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 1: much by head coach Mike Vrabel and John Robinson. But now, yeah,

304
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:02,400
Speaker 1: Nate Davis to the equation. You've got guys like Corey

305
00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:06,560
Speaker 1: Levin that are going to be in the mix thereon Stinny,

306
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:09,560
Speaker 1: Aaron Stinny. So it's a competition. I mean, I can't

307
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 1: say at this point without seeing Davis on the field

308
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:14,720
Speaker 1: about I think Davis is going to have to adjust.

309
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:17,360
Speaker 1: In the NFL, he plays in a very low stance.

310
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:19,240
Speaker 1: He even setting himself in the conference call. He gets

311
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:21,880
Speaker 1: so low in his stance that his towel hits the

312
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:25,480
Speaker 1: ground because it's attached to his belt buckle and or

313
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:27,960
Speaker 1: maybe the Bakers pants and it actually hits the ground.

314
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:30,720
Speaker 1: So he's gonna have to play higher, and they're gonna

315
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:33,440
Speaker 1: have to retrain him. I was talking to somebody yesterday

316
00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 1: just talking about the process of trying to get him

317
00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:38,160
Speaker 1: to play higher, and it's like, you know, it's not

318
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:40,960
Speaker 1: as dramatic as trying to change the quarterback's motion, but

319
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 1: you've got to get him in a point where he

320
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:45,240
Speaker 1: can use his leverage better and he can fire off

321
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:47,640
Speaker 1: the ball, and defenders are going to try to take

322
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:49,960
Speaker 1: advantage of him while he's trying to make that adjustment.

323
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:52,600
Speaker 1: So maybe it takes him a little while, but he's

324
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:57,480
Speaker 1: physically capable of doing it. But Pomfield is, you know,

325
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:01,240
Speaker 1: it's a versatile guy who will have a whole off

326
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:05,080
Speaker 1: season now to get ready. And again, I think I've

327
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:07,320
Speaker 1: I've liked what I've seen out eleven so I'm curious

328
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 1: to see how that one plays out. So I think

329
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:10,239
Speaker 1: we know the four, it's just a matter of how

330
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:13,040
Speaker 1: the fifth shakes out. Staying on the offensive side of

331
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:15,480
Speaker 1: the ball, Michael would like to know, do you think

332
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:18,359
Speaker 1: our offense is going to step it up this season?

333
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:20,919
Speaker 1: They've shown glimpses of what they can do, but can

334
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:24,359
Speaker 1: we do it consistently week to week? Yes, I mean

335
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:26,000
Speaker 1: I do. I mean I think they're going to average

336
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:28,960
Speaker 1: more than nineteen points a game, and that's obviously a

337
00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:32,159
Speaker 1: huge key to the season. Is you've you've got to

338
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 1: be I think to be a good offense in this league,

339
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 1: you've got to be a four hundred point team, and

340
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:41,360
Speaker 1: that means you're scoring twenty five points a game. Obviously,

341
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 1: if you're scoring over five hundred points a season, you're

342
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 1: scoring over thirty points a game. That's really good. But

343
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:49,960
Speaker 1: you know that's got to be a real goal. It's

344
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:54,720
Speaker 1: it's not about yards. Percentage on third down is important

345
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:56,840
Speaker 1: to stay on the field. I get all that, it's

346
00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:59,920
Speaker 1: about points and this team needs to be a top

347
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:02,920
Speaker 1: down better than it was a year ago. And I jim,

348
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:04,640
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna have a chance to do that. Yeah,

349
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:06,280
Speaker 1: and there's a lot of reasons why you can say

350
00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:07,640
Speaker 1: that it'd be. One of them is because the guy

351
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:10,520
Speaker 1: we talk about in the caravan yesterday, Adam Humphreys, is

352
00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:12,720
Speaker 1: going to add a new element to this team working

353
00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:15,920
Speaker 1: out of the slot. Delaney Walker, who played, you know,

354
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 1: needing to play a game last season, its gonna be

355
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:20,119
Speaker 1: back in the equation. The offensive line that we just

356
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 1: discussed is going to be better. Corey Davis Head in

357
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:25,960
Speaker 1: the year three should be better. Marcus Mariota won't be

358
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:27,879
Speaker 1: done with an injury from the start, at least you

359
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:30,720
Speaker 1: hope not like it was this past season. And I

360
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:33,720
Speaker 1: think Arthur Smith's going to do some good things in

361
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:35,560
Speaker 1: this offense. So there's a lot of changes that have

362
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:37,800
Speaker 1: taken place. I ain't mentioned A J. Brown adding him

363
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:40,520
Speaker 1: to the mex So a lot of reasons why I

364
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:42,680
Speaker 1: think should be better on offense, and I agree, I

365
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:44,240
Speaker 1: think it will be better. And Amy they've got to

366
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:46,440
Speaker 1: start the season running the ball like they read it

367
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:50,840
Speaker 1: in December. I mean, that's just it. With this schedule

368
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:54,000
Speaker 1: and what this team is going to be up against

369
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 1: and who they want to be it took them until

370
00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:01,440
Speaker 1: December to get the run game where they wanted it.

371
00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:04,520
Speaker 1: They've got to do that from the jump, and that's

372
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:07,600
Speaker 1: up to Henry, that's up to the offensive line, that's

373
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:10,600
Speaker 1: up to the play calling. I maybe really the receiver's blocking.

374
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:13,280
Speaker 1: I mean, that's everything. But that's a that's a big

375
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:16,840
Speaker 1: key to this season for this offense. Yeah, and I'm

376
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:18,960
Speaker 1: curiously how it plays out, because the big question you

377
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:20,960
Speaker 1: get from most people is whether they go use Derek

378
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:23,320
Speaker 1: Henry like they did in the last season. And that's

379
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:25,600
Speaker 1: something that certainly you want to wish for because that

380
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:28,080
Speaker 1: was fun to watch. But when you have Delaney Walker

381
00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:30,359
Speaker 1: in the offense, and you have Adam Humphreys in the offense,

382
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:32,200
Speaker 1: and you have a J. Bryan and the offense, and

383
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:36,760
Speaker 1: if Marcus is able to settle in and get you know,

384
00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:40,800
Speaker 1: have some success, then you're you're gonna like seeing the

385
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:42,800
Speaker 1: team throw it around a little bit too. So just

386
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:46,359
Speaker 1: finding that balance, I'm curious to see how it's gonna

387
00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 1: play out. Well. Here on the flip side, it has

388
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:51,359
Speaker 1: been asked on social media, what do you think is

389
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:54,399
Speaker 1: the biggest weakness or area that still needs to be

390
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 1: addressed after the draft. I still, well, I still think

391
00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:03,040
Speaker 1: the defensive life and I think needs another big plugger.

392
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:06,040
Speaker 1: That's all we've talked about is just finding a nasty

393
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:10,720
Speaker 1: defensive lineman to help that group and the guide it

394
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:12,480
Speaker 1: in Jeffrey Simmons. But he's not gonna be out there

395
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:14,159
Speaker 1: for a Week one against Cleveland, He's not gonna be

396
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:15,960
Speaker 1: out there for a Week two against Indeed, he's not

397
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:18,600
Speaker 1: gonna be out there for probably the first half of

398
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:20,840
Speaker 1: the season. Whether he plays at the end of twenty

399
00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:23,200
Speaker 1: nineteen kind of remains to be seen, and it depends

400
00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:26,359
Speaker 1: a lot on how his rehab goes and what doctors

401
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:28,479
Speaker 1: and trainers see from him as they work with him

402
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:31,520
Speaker 1: on a regular basis once he gets into building. Until then,

403
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:35,440
Speaker 1: this team's working with the edition of Brent Urban, who

404
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:37,320
Speaker 1: was signed. As you know, he's going to make a

405
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:39,960
Speaker 1: difference certainly playing on the defensive line as well. But

406
00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:43,680
Speaker 1: you're still counting on guys from last year's team to

407
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:48,680
Speaker 1: help produce. And I still think maybe another big body

408
00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:50,680
Speaker 1: needs to be added to that mix, just to add

409
00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:54,399
Speaker 1: to the competition and to, you know, to help this

410
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:57,440
Speaker 1: team generate some pressure. I don't disagree with that, but

411
00:20:57,560 --> 00:21:00,639
Speaker 1: I will add pressure from outside linebackers, you know. I

412
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:04,520
Speaker 1: think Cameron Wake adds something, but you know, he's thirty seven,

413
00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:06,720
Speaker 1: so they're gonna have to be other guys come through.

414
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:09,560
Speaker 1: A lot of this defense, to me, is about the

415
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:12,600
Speaker 1: improvement of the two draft picks from a year ago.

416
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:16,119
Speaker 1: And you're talking about Landry and you're talking about Evans,

417
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:20,440
Speaker 1: but Wake gives you a guy coming off the edge,

418
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:25,399
Speaker 1: even at his age, that is a threat. And I

419
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:28,359
Speaker 1: like him working with all of those other guys, or

420
00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:31,800
Speaker 1: at the very least those other guys watching what Cameron

421
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:37,120
Speaker 1: Wake does every single day. The stories about his preparation

422
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:41,720
Speaker 1: and what he puts into everything he does, whether it's

423
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:44,919
Speaker 1: in the weight room, in the meeting rooms, on the field,

424
00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:49,840
Speaker 1: in discussions in the locker room, how he eats. I mean,

425
00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:54,160
Speaker 1: everything about this guy is first class and the stories

426
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:58,119
Speaker 1: are our legendary. Obviously, we're a lot more interested in

427
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:00,520
Speaker 1: the stories now that he plays for the title. When

428
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:02,040
Speaker 1: he played for another team, you're like, yeah, I don't

429
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:06,240
Speaker 1: want to hear this whatever, But you do admire even

430
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:10,480
Speaker 1: when he was in Miami, you admire the professionalism that

431
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 1: this guy has displayed to put up the kind of

432
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:17,640
Speaker 1: career that he has coming from nowhere, I mean literally

433
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:21,720
Speaker 1: coming from nowhere. Two years out of football, at two

434
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:24,520
Speaker 1: years in the CFL and then ninety eight sacks in

435
00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 1: ten NFL seasons. I mean, it's a phenomenal story, it

436
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:33,960
Speaker 1: really is. And he fits the blue collar image even

437
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:36,280
Speaker 1: though he's a big star. I mean, Cameron Wake is

438
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:41,160
Speaker 1: a big name, but what he came from is exactly

439
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:46,920
Speaker 1: the John Robinson, Mike Vrabel blue collar, dependable, tough, team

440
00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:50,040
Speaker 1: first sort of story that they like to have, and

441
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:52,680
Speaker 1: at his route, that's what he's been. Yeah, and you

442
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:54,320
Speaker 1: know you see him in those highlights, so he's just

443
00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:56,719
Speaker 1: exploding off the edge. I mean, he wore ninety one

444
00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:59,159
Speaker 1: as a reminder when he went to the CFL that

445
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 1: there were no NFL view there were ninety players better

446
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:05,679
Speaker 1: than him on the roster, and that's why he had

447
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:08,320
Speaker 1: to find his way back in the league after going

448
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:11,800
Speaker 1: somewhere else. Rashaan Evans talked about it at the on

449
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:13,960
Speaker 1: the Caravan yesterday just about he's a guy that he

450
00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:17,000
Speaker 1: watched and admired from a distance, and now here he

451
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:19,119
Speaker 1: is getting a chance to watch him work on a

452
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:21,239
Speaker 1: regular basis. He's gonna make a big difference for all

453
00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:24,000
Speaker 1: these guys. But yeah, there's some questions about the edge

454
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:27,639
Speaker 1: rush because you replaced Brian Rackpoe and Derek Morgan with

455
00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:30,480
Speaker 1: the camera wag de Andre Walker as a guy the

456
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:32,720
Speaker 1: team's going to count on to make a difference there.

457
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:34,959
Speaker 1: But this team's gonna have to be able to get

458
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:38,359
Speaker 1: after the quarterback more. And I think those are the

459
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:42,960
Speaker 1: two big questions. I hit two big question marks. I

460
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:44,879
Speaker 1: think we hit on the defensive line and the edge

461
00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:46,320
Speaker 1: rusher to kind of go hand in hand. How are

462
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:48,119
Speaker 1: you going to get to the quarterback. Let's take just

463
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:50,840
Speaker 1: a second before we go back to social media, and

464
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:54,959
Speaker 1: let's look at the arrivals. Let's look at the at

465
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:57,160
Speaker 1: the new players on this roster. And I'm talking about

466
00:23:57,160 --> 00:23:59,879
Speaker 1: the veteran free agents. So as we so as we

467
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:03,560
Speaker 1: sort of break down, you had Adam Humphreys with you yesterday.

468
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:08,320
Speaker 1: Horonas Krasso is an interior offensive lineman. D Liner is

469
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:13,080
Speaker 1: a three hundred and forty pound interior defensive lineman. Roger

470
00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:15,920
Speaker 1: Saffold at this point, figures to be the left guard.

471
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:20,200
Speaker 1: We know who Ryan Tannehill is really good backup quarterback

472
00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:22,320
Speaker 1: at this point who's been a starter in this league.

473
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:26,440
Speaker 1: Brent Urban is a six seven defensive lineman who comes

474
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:29,840
Speaker 1: after five years in Baltimore, and then Cameron Wake we

475
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:32,600
Speaker 1: just talked about at outside linebackers. So those are the

476
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:36,560
Speaker 1: guys who were arriving, the guys who resigned for the Titans,

477
00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:39,880
Speaker 1: and there's a group of those, David Flewellen, Kevin Palmfield,

478
00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:42,840
Speaker 1: Tye Smith at corner, and obviously the biggest name is

479
00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:46,479
Speaker 1: Kenny Vacaro, one of the starting safeties. The guys who

480
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:51,439
Speaker 1: departed the roster, these players are gone, Jonathan Cyprian, Blaine Gabbert,

481
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:55,320
Speaker 1: Darius King in the defensive line, Josh Klein who was

482
00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:58,679
Speaker 1: the starting right guard, Briana Rackpoe retired, Quentin Spain went

483
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:02,200
Speaker 1: to Buffalo, Luke Stock went to Atlanta. And then there's

484
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:05,680
Speaker 1: a group of free agents that have not been resigned

485
00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:10,399
Speaker 1: at this point, and who knows what might happen, but Compton, Lewis,

486
00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:15,320
Speaker 1: Logan Morgan is the biggest name, Palmer and Trobwick. So

487
00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:19,000
Speaker 1: that's kind of how everything is churned. Then let's look

488
00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:22,480
Speaker 1: at this draft class. Jim, I haven't had a chance

489
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:25,320
Speaker 1: for the two of us to discuss it. Your thoughts

490
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:28,119
Speaker 1: on the six players that the Titans picked up, and

491
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:31,480
Speaker 1: just overall what John Robinson got done. I mean just

492
00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:35,560
Speaker 1: a very productive group. I mean, Simmons is a top five,

493
00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:37,960
Speaker 1: top ten talent, and we talked about him. I know

494
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:40,920
Speaker 1: an OTP leading up to the pick, and I think

495
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:42,800
Speaker 1: he was a great get and I think most people

496
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:47,600
Speaker 1: agree that he got great value there. Picking at nineteen,

497
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:49,560
Speaker 1: he's gonna make a big difference. The only problem is

498
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:52,320
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to wait. But when he develops and

499
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:54,679
Speaker 1: when he's healthy, he's another Albert hayes Worth. I mean,

500
00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:57,240
Speaker 1: I think he's disruptive. I think he's a game changer.

501
00:25:57,280 --> 00:25:59,600
Speaker 1: He's a game wrecord they talk about I think that

502
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:02,840
Speaker 1: was a pick a J. Brown. You know, Dk Metcalfe

503
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:05,680
Speaker 1: got so much talk after the combine because of his

504
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:09,760
Speaker 1: ridiculous workout and because of the shirtless photo of him

505
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:12,760
Speaker 1: and his abs. But AJ Brown was the more productive

506
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:15,880
Speaker 1: receiver at Old Mess. He's polished. I think he has

507
00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:17,800
Speaker 1: a chance to come in and help this team. Early.

508
00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:20,920
Speaker 1: We talked about Nate Davis, who's a big, strong guy

509
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:23,600
Speaker 1: that's obviously going to have to work on some things

510
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:26,560
Speaker 1: from a technique standpoint, but I expect him to contend

511
00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:29,679
Speaker 1: for a starting spot even as a rookie. Mighty hooker

512
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:32,640
Speaker 1: A versatile guy who can do a number of things.

513
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:37,000
Speaker 1: I mean, this guy was extraordinary playing at Iowa and

514
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:41,040
Speaker 1: just how productive that he was. And DeAndre Walker, a

515
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:44,760
Speaker 1: guy I wouldn't have dreamed would be still on the

516
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:48,600
Speaker 1: board at pick number one, sixty eight. But I think

517
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:53,280
Speaker 1: he's a really good player who's been very productive himself

518
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:57,200
Speaker 1: in the best conference in college football. And then David

519
00:26:57,280 --> 00:27:00,080
Speaker 1: Long like the way he plays. I mean, he he

520
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:03,760
Speaker 1: reminds you a little bit of Joyn Brown from his size,

521
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:06,959
Speaker 1: but when you'll watch him on film, his instincts are

522
00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:09,280
Speaker 1: so good. He just seems like he finds the ball.

523
00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:13,280
Speaker 1: He's an a really aggressive player. He's going to help

524
00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:15,639
Speaker 1: this team on special team. So I expect all these

525
00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:17,520
Speaker 1: guys to make it. I mean sometimes you look at

526
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:20,360
Speaker 1: draft classes and think, okay, well if five or six

527
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:23,760
Speaker 1: make it, or you know, if you're picking eight, if

528
00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:25,600
Speaker 1: six to eight or seven to eight make I look

529
00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:27,680
Speaker 1: at these six and thank all these guys are gonna

530
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:29,679
Speaker 1: be on this roster, and I think all of them

531
00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:33,240
Speaker 1: are going to contribute, with the exception of Simmons from

532
00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:38,080
Speaker 1: the start. Obviously, Date Davis is if he doesn't win

533
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:41,000
Speaker 1: in the competition for the starting spot, then be interested

534
00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:42,879
Speaker 1: to see what kind of role they can find for him.

535
00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:44,280
Speaker 1: But all these other guys can be to play on

536
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:47,280
Speaker 1: special teams. All right. So that's Jim Whittt's look at

537
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:49,440
Speaker 1: the draft class. Amy Wells, you're ready to do a

538
00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:53,159
Speaker 1: few more social media question. Absolutely. Here's one that I

539
00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:55,720
Speaker 1: thought was interesting and would be a cool thing for

540
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:58,840
Speaker 1: you guys to explain a little bit. It says, can

541
00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:01,840
Speaker 1: you guys explain the process of signing a player when

542
00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:05,000
Speaker 1: he's on another team's practice squad? Do the teams have

543
00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:08,760
Speaker 1: the option to say, no, we want to keep our guy. Yeah,

544
00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:10,239
Speaker 1: And the way they do that is they sign him,

545
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:12,040
Speaker 1: they bring up up to the fifty three man roster.

546
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:15,480
Speaker 1: And we've seen players come from other places when the

547
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:18,520
Speaker 1: Titans have signed him off another team's roll shop. Was

548
00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:21,800
Speaker 1: Michael Pruitt last year with the Texas, and we also

549
00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:25,760
Speaker 1: have seen players depart. So the team does have an

550
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:28,480
Speaker 1: option if a team is inquiring about a player wants

551
00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:30,440
Speaker 1: to sign him, if you want to keep him, if

552
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:33,680
Speaker 1: you like him enough, you sign him to the your

553
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:35,640
Speaker 1: own fifty three man At that point, do you remember

554
00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:39,120
Speaker 1: it's to find Charles the defensive dude. So he's from

555
00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:43,360
Speaker 1: Regina and Canada, and Buffalo wanted to sign him to

556
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:46,000
Speaker 1: the active roster, and the Titans were going to keep him.

557
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:47,600
Speaker 1: They were going to sign him to the active roster,

558
00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:52,280
Speaker 1: but he actually wanted to sign with Buffalo because his

559
00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:55,920
Speaker 1: child was in Canada, so he wanted to go to

560
00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:59,240
Speaker 1: Buffalo for that reason, to be closer there. So the

561
00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:03,160
Speaker 1: player has an option, but you don't, you know, you

562
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:06,960
Speaker 1: don't have the option to or let me say it properly,

563
00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:10,000
Speaker 1: if somebody's coming after you. You don't have an option

564
00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:12,760
Speaker 1: to go from practice squad to practice squad. But you

565
00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:15,800
Speaker 1: do have the option to sign somebody off of a

566
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:19,080
Speaker 1: practice squad to an active roster. So a practice squad

567
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:22,040
Speaker 1: is basically a launching off point, right, So wherever they go,

568
00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:24,640
Speaker 1: they're going to be on an active roster. Absolutely. And

569
00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:28,080
Speaker 1: what's interesting, and sometimes I mean this has happened, you

570
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:31,760
Speaker 1: know several times here is where a player is on

571
00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:34,360
Speaker 1: a practice squad and another team is ready to sign

572
00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:37,479
Speaker 1: him to a fifty three man roster, and the player

573
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:39,960
Speaker 1: and the and the let's say the Titans in this

574
00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:44,920
Speaker 1: case not in a position to call him up to

575
00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:47,440
Speaker 1: fifty three, but they pay the player on the practice

576
00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:49,800
Speaker 1: squad as if he's on the fifty three man roster.

577
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:52,040
Speaker 1: I mean, the practice squad salaries are not close to

578
00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:55,000
Speaker 1: what guy's salaries are on the roster. But if a

579
00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:58,239
Speaker 1: player thinks he's in a better position somewhere else, they

580
00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:00,960
Speaker 1: can get a practice they can get a roster salary

581
00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:03,960
Speaker 1: while being on the practice squad kind of waiting further time. Well,

582
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:06,960
Speaker 1: it's very important, did you say that, because the practice

583
00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:10,320
Speaker 1: squad money counts against the salary camp, so you can

584
00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:13,200
Speaker 1: pay the practice squad guys whatever you want to. I

585
00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:17,840
Speaker 1: think the minimum is seventy five thousand. I think that's right. Yeah,

586
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:20,840
Speaker 1: that's the floor. But I mean if you want to

587
00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:23,880
Speaker 1: pay them full freight and keep them on the practice

588
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:26,960
Speaker 1: squad and they're comfortable with that, that's doable. That's a

589
00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:29,880
Speaker 1: great point, Jim. But this is why at the end

590
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:32,880
Speaker 1: of training camp you start hearing about player poaching and

591
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:35,400
Speaker 1: things like that, trying to put someone on a practice

592
00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:38,000
Speaker 1: squad and then a different team signs them to their

593
00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:42,960
Speaker 1: Great Falk. Last year, obviously, Legarrett Blunt was one that

594
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:47,200
Speaker 1: really stings. Jack Doyle is one that really stings. Never

595
00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:50,320
Speaker 1: get over it, I know, because teams think sometimes they

596
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:52,840
Speaker 1: can sneak these guys through. And that's why sometimes a

597
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:56,960
Speaker 1: team will hold players back in the preseason because they

598
00:30:57,040 --> 00:30:58,680
Speaker 1: want to try to get these guys through on the

599
00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:01,520
Speaker 1: practice squads. So that don't that while they show off

600
00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:05,800
Speaker 1: in practices in training camp, sometimes they don't play as

601
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:08,360
Speaker 1: much in the preseason just because you're trying to avoid

602
00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:11,880
Speaker 1: having a bunch of odds on them. That's that's that's

603
00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:13,560
Speaker 1: something that not only the Tights do. I think a

604
00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:15,960
Speaker 1: lot of teams will do. Back in the olden days,

605
00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:20,360
Speaker 1: they used to cut guys in the first cut, yeah,

606
00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:23,520
Speaker 1: thinking that, oh, well, the guy got cut in the

607
00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:27,160
Speaker 1: first cut, so other people must think when they would

608
00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:29,520
Speaker 1: figure other teams would say, well, so and so's not

609
00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:31,800
Speaker 1: that good. He didn't even make it to the final cut,

610
00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:34,480
Speaker 1: and then they would resign him to the practice squad.

611
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:38,080
Speaker 1: So there were all these games and it's and it's

612
00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:41,240
Speaker 1: like what happens too when you get to the weekend,

613
00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:45,800
Speaker 1: Labor Day weekend and they start manipulating the roster. They

614
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:49,560
Speaker 1: will sometimes wait until the very last minute to make

615
00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:53,240
Speaker 1: that last move, hoping to get somebody through to the

616
00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:56,800
Speaker 1: practice squad, hoping that a team will be full and

617
00:31:57,440 --> 00:31:59,840
Speaker 1: won't be willing to cut somebody to make room for

618
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:02,760
Speaker 1: you're a player who they're trying to poach. It's all

619
00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:05,760
Speaker 1: very sneaky, and I think, you know, especially when you're

620
00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:08,240
Speaker 1: practice against other teams and the times to practice against

621
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:10,600
Speaker 1: the Patriots this year, this is you know, we're taking

622
00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:14,920
Speaker 1: both taking this beyond the initial question, but it's just

623
00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:18,360
Speaker 1: things you keep a eye on. When the Patriots are

624
00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:21,680
Speaker 1: practice against the Titans. Obviously you're getting more exposure to

625
00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:24,880
Speaker 1: the players on the other team's rosters, So players that

626
00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:27,959
Speaker 1: will be cut by the Patriots when you get from

627
00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:30,400
Speaker 1: ninety to fifty three, or guys to keep an eye

628
00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:33,240
Speaker 1: on for this team and what kind of works both ways.

629
00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:35,840
Speaker 1: I'm sure the Patriots are gonna see some Titans players

630
00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:38,880
Speaker 1: during that scrimmage that will they will make note of.

631
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:42,640
Speaker 1: And if those guys hit, you know, hit the market

632
00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:45,840
Speaker 1: when you get down to fifty three, they become practice

633
00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:51,080
Speaker 1: squad targets for those teams and potential roster ads. Here's

634
00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:53,880
Speaker 1: another question. We're just cranking them out today. These are

635
00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:57,440
Speaker 1: great questions, guys. I like this. It seems our offensive

636
00:32:57,520 --> 00:33:00,480
Speaker 1: coordinator comes from good stock. Do you guys feel that

637
00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:04,040
Speaker 1: Arthur Smith is going to tailor this offense to suit

638
00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:07,520
Speaker 1: Marcus Mariota's strengths. I do. I mean, I think with

639
00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:09,600
Speaker 1: I think you're gonna see a lot of things similar

640
00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:11,920
Speaker 1: with Arthur Smith. But the big question is, and you

641
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:15,000
Speaker 1: can't really predict it because he hasn't called a game

642
00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:17,720
Speaker 1: as just what kind of approach he takes. I mean,

643
00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:21,040
Speaker 1: he said himself he wants to ride Derek Kenry. But

644
00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:23,320
Speaker 1: this is something we talk about earlier, is if you

645
00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:26,360
Speaker 1: have Marcus Mariota playing at a high level, you've got

646
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:28,840
Speaker 1: to Lanny Walker back in the offense. You got Addam Humphrey,

647
00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:30,360
Speaker 1: He's added to the mix, and you have a j

648
00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:33,360
Speaker 1: Brown to go with an improving receiving corps, and you

649
00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:35,520
Speaker 1: have a better offensive line than You're able to do

650
00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:40,120
Speaker 1: some more things. So I'm I like Arthur. You know,

651
00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:42,440
Speaker 1: we all like Arthur, and I think he's going to

652
00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:44,840
Speaker 1: do a really good job at how he takes things.

653
00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:50,720
Speaker 1: I'm curious because yes, he can build an offense that

654
00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:54,120
Speaker 1: Taylor's to Marcus Mariota's strengths, but he also knows the

655
00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:57,280
Speaker 1: value in having a guy like Derek Henry being productive.

656
00:33:57,360 --> 00:34:01,000
Speaker 1: So there has to be a balance there and finding

657
00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:03,880
Speaker 1: a way to work with everybody. I think Delaney Walker

658
00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:06,000
Speaker 1: thinks he's going to get the ball every single snap.

659
00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:09,120
Speaker 1: That's kind of where Delaney's sitting right now. I think

660
00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:12,560
Speaker 1: here's another one, just staying with the offense right now.

661
00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:16,080
Speaker 1: Do you think the scream game will be used more

662
00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:20,200
Speaker 1: with Dion Lewis this year? I think Dion Lewis gets

663
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:23,960
Speaker 1: a lot more valuable to the Titans if Derek Henry

664
00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:27,000
Speaker 1: can continue what he did in December. I think the

665
00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:30,960
Speaker 1: load that Dion carried through part of the season because

666
00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:34,960
Speaker 1: Derek wasn't as effective, took something out of him and

667
00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:38,480
Speaker 1: did not let them utilize him fully in the role

668
00:34:38,719 --> 00:34:42,360
Speaker 1: that they wanted to see him in, which is the

669
00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:47,680
Speaker 1: screen game, the change up, the different things that he offers,

670
00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:51,560
Speaker 1: and offers some really good things. I don't know size wise,

671
00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:54,480
Speaker 1: if he's in every down back. Obviously Henry has the

672
00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:57,160
Speaker 1: size to be in every down back. But yes, I mean,

673
00:34:57,239 --> 00:34:59,759
Speaker 1: I think if they can continue with Henry the way

674
00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:03,760
Speaker 1: they ended last year, that Lewis can be even more effective.

675
00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:06,440
Speaker 1: I do, yes, yeah, I'd agree with that, and he

676
00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:09,600
Speaker 1: certainly has value. I mean, just because Derrick Henry is

677
00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:11,520
Speaker 1: going to be more featured, I think doesn't mean they're

678
00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:13,880
Speaker 1: going to discard Dion Lewis. They're gonna find ways to

679
00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:16,520
Speaker 1: get him involved. And I think, you know, you get

680
00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:19,160
Speaker 1: him in space and you have more weapons around him,

681
00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:22,680
Speaker 1: I think it makes his game better. Here's another question

682
00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:24,560
Speaker 1: of this is on the defensive side of the ball,

683
00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:29,719
Speaker 1: we're switching guys good football, Mike's favorite side of the ball.

684
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:33,000
Speaker 1: How much upside do you see for players like Harold

685
00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:37,120
Speaker 1: Landry or Shawn Evans Sky's limit. I think I agree.

686
00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:39,080
Speaker 1: I mean, I think Evans showed at the end of

687
00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:41,839
Speaker 1: last season what he's capable of doing, and I think

688
00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:45,040
Speaker 1: having an entire offseason to now be in the system

689
00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:46,640
Speaker 1: and be able to work with the team, I think

690
00:35:46,680 --> 00:35:51,920
Speaker 1: it makes him so much better. Landry showed glimpses last season.

691
00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:54,400
Speaker 1: He's gonna get more opportunities this year. I mean, the

692
00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:58,600
Speaker 1: uh they're counting on him to do big things, and

693
00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:03,839
Speaker 1: I think him getting his body right and being able

694
00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:06,080
Speaker 1: to take advantage of some of the things he learned

695
00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:09,120
Speaker 1: last season working against Taylor Lawan in practices every day,

696
00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:11,880
Speaker 1: working against some of the top tackles in the league

697
00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:15,640
Speaker 1: should help him better. I think he realized last season

698
00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:19,239
Speaker 1: that he needed a second move, or needed a third move,

699
00:36:19,360 --> 00:36:22,120
Speaker 1: or needed more ways to get to the quarterback. And

700
00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:24,279
Speaker 1: after having a season of what he's been able to

701
00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:29,000
Speaker 1: study and reflect and get better, I expect you know

702
00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:31,239
Speaker 1: they always say the second years when you make your

703
00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:33,040
Speaker 1: biggest leap. I think he's one of those guys going

704
00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:36,200
Speaker 1: to do it well. Okay, along those same lines, what

705
00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:38,640
Speaker 1: are this could be a fun game? Actually, what are

706
00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:44,840
Speaker 1: reasonable expectations for sacked totals between Landry and Evans? Do

707
00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:50,279
Speaker 1: you think that two of them combined could get to ten? Oh? Yeah, absolutely.

708
00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:53,640
Speaker 1: I think Landry has double digit potentially at four and

709
00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:56,440
Speaker 1: a half last year in a limited role, I think

710
00:36:56,520 --> 00:36:59,759
Speaker 1: he has double digit potential. And I think Evans has

711
00:36:59,840 --> 00:37:03,160
Speaker 1: the potential to sort of be that game wrecker. He's

712
00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:06,320
Speaker 1: not the style of player that Keith Bullock was in

713
00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:08,400
Speaker 1: terms of the build, but I think he can have

714
00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:11,440
Speaker 1: the impact on the game that Bullock did. It was

715
00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:13,960
Speaker 1: like anytime the Titans needed a big play, Bullock showed up,

716
00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:16,760
Speaker 1: and I think down the stretch we saw that with Evans.

717
00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:20,000
Speaker 1: I think he can be that type of guy as well.

718
00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:24,840
Speaker 1: Because he has great size. His tremendous power gives you

719
00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:27,960
Speaker 1: something that that the Titans have sort of lacked in

720
00:37:28,120 --> 00:37:30,440
Speaker 1: terms of that thumper who doesn't have to come off

721
00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:33,080
Speaker 1: the field and can rush the passer as he showed

722
00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:35,319
Speaker 1: at Alabama. So yes, I mean, I think they can

723
00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:39,040
Speaker 1: do that. I'm with you, Yeah, I agree. Here's another one.

724
00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:43,200
Speaker 1: What kind of impact can Simmons make if the Titans

725
00:37:43,239 --> 00:37:46,160
Speaker 1: were to make the playoffs? Is that a place where maybe,

726
00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:50,000
Speaker 1: given he sticks to a timetable as a rookie, he

727
00:37:50,080 --> 00:37:52,840
Speaker 1: can make an impact. I think so. I mean, I

728
00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:56,440
Speaker 1: think we're all gonna be in kind of a light

729
00:37:56,480 --> 00:38:02,560
Speaker 1: and see, you know, situation with him, because you know,

730
00:38:02,640 --> 00:38:05,440
Speaker 1: he had the you know, if there's good news, and

731
00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:07,560
Speaker 1: there's no good news when you have an ACL injury.

732
00:38:07,600 --> 00:38:09,799
Speaker 1: But at least it happened early in the calendar year

733
00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:15,040
Speaker 1: where he's got time to heal and rehab and get better.

734
00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:17,400
Speaker 1: And I don't get the sense that they're going to

735
00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:20,919
Speaker 1: rush him out there. I think. Again, we talk last

736
00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:23,400
Speaker 1: week on the OTP about I think the week eleven

737
00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:27,040
Speaker 1: bye week, maybe that gives him maybe that's a good

738
00:38:27,120 --> 00:38:29,040
Speaker 1: time for him to come back after that. But that's

739
00:38:29,080 --> 00:38:32,640
Speaker 1: just me talking. That's not John Robinson, that's not Mike Vrabel.

740
00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:34,799
Speaker 1: That's not the training staff. They're gonna have to see him,

741
00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:38,320
Speaker 1: and maybe it's not. After week eleven, maybe they decide

742
00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:42,279
Speaker 1: he needs more time. But I think the hope and

743
00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:45,360
Speaker 1: the expectation is he has a great recovery and is

744
00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:47,919
Speaker 1: able to help this team at some point this year.

745
00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:51,520
Speaker 1: But at the same time, the last thing you want

746
00:38:51,560 --> 00:38:53,880
Speaker 1: to do is throw him out there too soon. And

747
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:57,720
Speaker 1: if they feel like he needs more time, maybe he's

748
00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:02,000
Speaker 1: a two thousand player for the Titans. I just it's

749
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:04,719
Speaker 1: just hard for me to say here on April thirty,

750
00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:08,120
Speaker 1: at the final day at OTP Road to Nashville, that's right,

751
00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:13,480
Speaker 1: three day, the final day of the ot We've just reached.

752
00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:18,560
Speaker 1: I've been sitting on that one all day. Good job,

753
00:39:19,719 --> 00:39:21,640
Speaker 1: one more. This is a question about your guy. I

754
00:39:21,680 --> 00:39:24,280
Speaker 1: think you're in like this. Mike Keith says, why aren't

755
00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:28,160
Speaker 1: more people excited about Sharif Finch. The Titans obviously have

756
00:39:28,239 --> 00:39:30,680
Speaker 1: a lot of faith in him. They do, and Shariff

757
00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:33,680
Speaker 1: is going to battle through injury and be ready to

758
00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:36,680
Speaker 1: go at the start of training camp, and I think

759
00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:39,120
Speaker 1: has the ability to do some things. I think he

760
00:39:39,239 --> 00:39:40,880
Speaker 1: turned out to be a little better player than what

761
00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:44,080
Speaker 1: they thought he plays to run pretty well. He's got

762
00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:47,000
Speaker 1: some good strength. I think he's clearly part of the

763
00:39:47,440 --> 00:39:51,840
Speaker 1: rotational plan. You really need at a at a minimum,

764
00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:55,280
Speaker 1: you need five guys at this spot in this defense

765
00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:58,480
Speaker 1: to be able to rotate through, and you know you

766
00:39:58,560 --> 00:40:00,759
Speaker 1: need to have those guys available because you certainly have

767
00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:03,680
Speaker 1: to have four during games, you'd like to have five.

768
00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:07,480
Speaker 1: I think Fitch can be part of that and can

769
00:40:07,560 --> 00:40:09,920
Speaker 1: be a productive part of it. He certainly was a

770
00:40:10,080 --> 00:40:12,799
Speaker 1: productive part of it in terms of what he did

771
00:40:12,840 --> 00:40:16,759
Speaker 1: at Temple had he not had the injuries. I mean,

772
00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:19,840
Speaker 1: he's clearly more than just a draft pick. He's probably

773
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:22,640
Speaker 1: a you know, a third or fourth round draft pick.

774
00:40:22,719 --> 00:40:25,520
Speaker 1: He's got that kind of talent and one a mature

775
00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:28,319
Speaker 1: young man too. I can't imagine anybody deal with more

776
00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:30,759
Speaker 1: adversity that he had to deal with during his rookie season.

777
00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:33,360
Speaker 1: He comes in here, works hard to make the roster,

778
00:40:34,120 --> 00:40:38,160
Speaker 1: lost his father in the course of the preseason, had

779
00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:40,920
Speaker 1: to leave the team for just a short stint to

780
00:40:40,960 --> 00:40:44,120
Speaker 1: go to his funeral. You know, came back. I thought

781
00:40:44,160 --> 00:40:48,600
Speaker 1: he he definitely helped his team and Spots suffered a

782
00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:51,920
Speaker 1: shoulder injury late in the season and found a way

783
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:54,160
Speaker 1: to work through that. And now I think he's going

784
00:40:54,239 --> 00:40:57,480
Speaker 1: to get his you know, get his body right, and

785
00:40:58,040 --> 00:41:01,000
Speaker 1: another guy that's going to take advantage for him having

786
00:41:01,040 --> 00:41:02,879
Speaker 1: a year under his belt and being able to watch

787
00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:07,520
Speaker 1: camera wake. I expect him to make this team and

788
00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:11,320
Speaker 1: to make some plays as well. You got him, I

789
00:41:11,440 --> 00:41:14,799
Speaker 1: got him. That was it. Nicely done, nicely done by

790
00:41:15,080 --> 00:41:18,160
Speaker 1: you the audience. I'm just the conduit of the OTP

00:42:04,840 --> 00:42:10,319
Speaker 1: the draft class behind the scenes of the NFL Draft production.

803
00:42:11,040 --> 00:42:15,360
Speaker 1: If you came down and saw the production and you wondered,

804
00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:17,839
Speaker 1: how did they put this show on? For everybody who

805
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:21,080
Speaker 1: was on Broadway. That's we have a behind the scenes

806
00:42:21,120 --> 00:42:24,960
Speaker 1: of that and the fourteen Titans season ticket member events.

807
00:42:25,760 --> 00:42:29,040
Speaker 1: The final one is actually tonight. Coach McK and I

808
00:42:29,080 --> 00:42:32,360
Speaker 1: are doing a draft wrap up tonight for season ticket members.

809
00:42:32,920 --> 00:42:38,799
Speaker 1: Eight thousand season ticket members took part in the fourteen

810
00:42:39,400 --> 00:42:42,760
Speaker 1: events that we did before, during, and after the draft,

811
00:42:43,440 --> 00:42:46,560
Speaker 1: and so much fun. Really, the best part of the

812
00:42:46,600 --> 00:42:49,400
Speaker 1: whole thing for me was all of the season ticket

813
00:42:49,480 --> 00:42:51,880
Speaker 1: member events because getting to see those people, many of

814
00:42:51,920 --> 00:42:56,160
Speaker 1: whom have been with us since Vanderbilt, it's really exciting

815
00:42:56,200 --> 00:42:58,960
Speaker 1: because they certainly, like you're talking about, being from Nashville,

816
00:42:59,680 --> 00:43:03,960
Speaker 1: those founders took so much pride in the draft being

817
00:43:04,040 --> 00:43:06,880
Speaker 1: in Nashville. As well they should because without them, the

818
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:09,560
Speaker 1: Draft's not here. Yeah, and I hope this is kind

819
00:43:09,600 --> 00:43:13,240
Speaker 1: of a springboard for even more excitement moving into twenty nineteen.

820
00:43:13,320 --> 00:43:15,800
Speaker 1: And there's no question this team's fan base has started

821
00:43:15,840 --> 00:43:19,960
Speaker 1: to come back in recent years after you know, after

822
00:43:20,120 --> 00:43:24,240
Speaker 1: some tough times obviously with the team and having trouble

823
00:43:24,320 --> 00:43:27,600
Speaker 1: winning games at the at Nissan Stadium. Now this team's

824
00:43:27,640 --> 00:43:31,400
Speaker 1: winning on a consistent basis at home, big wins against

825
00:43:31,400 --> 00:43:33,719
Speaker 1: the Patriots last year and against the Eagles, and so

826
00:43:33,880 --> 00:43:37,040
Speaker 1: much excitement in that stadium for the season finale against

827
00:43:37,080 --> 00:43:39,040
Speaker 1: the Colts, even though it didn't produce the win. I

828
00:43:39,120 --> 00:43:42,080
Speaker 1: think you started to see that people are fired up

829
00:43:42,080 --> 00:43:44,480
Speaker 1: about this team, and there's more reason to be fired

830
00:43:44,560 --> 00:43:48,120
Speaker 1: up now with some of the offseason acquisitions. I think

831
00:43:48,200 --> 00:43:52,640
Speaker 1: what you saw on the streets of Nashville on draft

832
00:43:52,760 --> 00:43:55,239
Speaker 1: weekends fire people up. I know, I get the sense

833
00:43:55,320 --> 00:43:58,120
Speaker 1: from people, not only judging from some of the stuff

834
00:43:58,160 --> 00:44:01,719
Speaker 1: I saw in the mailbag today from the fans who

835
00:44:01,760 --> 00:44:03,440
Speaker 1: were a part of it, but just the stuff I

836
00:44:03,520 --> 00:44:06,879
Speaker 1: see on social media that interacting with fans. I guess

837
00:44:06,960 --> 00:44:09,480
Speaker 1: during the draft at the caravan yesterday, people are fired

838
00:44:09,560 --> 00:44:12,439
Speaker 1: up about the direction this team's going, and there's reason

839
00:44:12,520 --> 00:44:15,080
Speaker 1: to be fired up. But I think there's good leadership.

840
00:44:15,160 --> 00:44:18,759
Speaker 1: Obviously with Amy Adams Strunk, she was so instrumental in

841
00:44:18,800 --> 00:44:22,200
Speaker 1: getting this draft here. Uh. You know, Mike Frabele John

842
00:44:22,320 --> 00:44:25,719
Speaker 1: Robinson have a shared vision I think is going to

843
00:44:25,960 --> 00:44:29,720
Speaker 1: produce some winning rosters, and uh, I think the makeup

844
00:44:29,760 --> 00:44:32,200
Speaker 1: of this team is what you're looking for, so I

845
00:44:32,320 --> 00:44:34,960
Speaker 1: think the fans are see that, and I think they're

846
00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:37,600
Speaker 1: excited about it, and hopefully this momentum will be carried

847
00:44:37,640 --> 00:44:41,439
Speaker 1: into uh these training camp practices out here in July

848
00:44:41,560 --> 00:44:43,760
Speaker 1: and August. Do you think we'll sell any season tickets

849
00:44:43,800 --> 00:44:50,560
Speaker 1: in Mississippi? Yeah, Simmons and A. J. Brown. By the way,

850
