00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:32,680
Speaker 1: during the OTP photo. Thank you. What a strange week.

8
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:36,239
Speaker 1: It has been a week unlike any other that we

9
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:40,199
Speaker 1: have had. I don't think there's any doubt about that.

10
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:44,160
Speaker 1: I was going back and looking in terms of how

11
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:48,320
Speaker 1: this departure of the head coach went. The distance of

12
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:52,840
Speaker 1: it is not totally different than say, Mike Mallarkey. Mike

13
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 1: Malarkey was let go on the Tuesday after the New

14
00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 1: England playoff game. It was two days, but he did

15
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 1: have the final press conference on Monday, and you'll remember

16
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:09,679
Speaker 1: in the final press conference he said essentially he wasn't

17
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:11,560
Speaker 1: going to make any he didn't plan to make any

18
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:17,400
Speaker 1: changes on offense, and everyone kind of was surprised that

19
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 1: he didn't come out and say that, and the next

20
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:25,119
Speaker 1: day he was let go. I don't know that everybody

21
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:28,480
Speaker 1: was shocked coach, because in Mike Malarkey's case, he was

22
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:31,200
Speaker 1: going into the final year of a three year contract

23
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,840
Speaker 1: and you either realistically had to extend him or let

24
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 1: him go.

25
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, and there we were there.

26
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 3: There were some other things too. After the Kansas City game.

27
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 1: Well, he had said after that game that he was

28
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 1: so you win your first playoff game in fourteen years. Yeah,

29
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 1: fourteen years. And he had basically in his press conference

30
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 1: gone into the fact that he was disappointed that ownership

31
00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 1: had not dispelled rumors about him being fired potentially, and

32
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 1: that wasn't that wasn't received well.

33
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 4: Well, and he took it to a personal level, Mike,

34
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 4: because he talked about the stress that it brought on

35
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 4: his family. Yeah, because I was sitting in the room

36
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:18,240
Speaker 4: and I was sitting there going ooh, that's probably not

37
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:18,640
Speaker 4: gonna go.

38
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 1: Well, we were listening. I can't remember where if we

39
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:25,239
Speaker 1: were already on the bus or where we were when

40
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 1: we heard it, and I guess we would have heard

41
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 1: a playback on the bus. But it was very odd.

42
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:35,640
Speaker 1: It was a very odd tone. And were your thought

43
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:38,360
Speaker 1: process then was WHOA, I don't know if this is

44
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 1: the time to Yeah, you just want a playoff game. Yeah,

45
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:42,919
Speaker 1: it's kind of like the old Jerry klower line. I

46
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 1: don't believe I'd have told that. I don't believe i'd

47
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 1: have told that.

48
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:46,640
Speaker 2: Brotherly. Yeah, and.

49
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:50,800
Speaker 3: From all my years in the league, it's it's best

50
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 3: to keep You've got a lot of thoughts, just keep

51
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,800
Speaker 3: them to yourself until it's the right place to do it.

52
00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 3: You know, usually usually airing grievances in public, I think

53
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:05,360
Speaker 3: in any business is not good, right, and especially a

54
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 3: very visual and a very visible business. Just you can

55
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 3: have the thoughts, but keep it to yourself in the

56
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:12,519
Speaker 3: right context.

57
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 4: But Mac, how hard is that to couch and to

58
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 4: because that's clearly testing a person's patience because things are

59
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 4: building and you might have frustrations or you certainly want

60
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 4: to speak on a topic.

61
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 1: How tough is that.

62
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 3: I've been there and I held it in. You hold

63
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 3: it in until you and you know, you know I

64
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 3: did it. You know for the fact that in the

65
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 3: end it doesn't do you any good. Number one, And secondly,

66
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 3: you've got to understand that when you come out like that,

67
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 3: you may be saying something off the cuff or something

68
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 3: to get off your chest that is going to affect

69
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 3: a lot.

70
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 1: Of people well, and then they played another game the

71
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 1: next week and at that point they go through the game,

72
00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 1: lose it in New England thirty five to fourteen. The

73
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 1: end of the season news conferences the next day, and

74
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 1: then the news hits that they had decided not to

75
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 1: continue on on Jay. I guess it was January fifteenth.

76
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 1: They decided not to continue on with Mike m Malarkey.

77
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:17,280
Speaker 1: Jeff Fisher's was actually twenty five days after the last game. Yeah,

78
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 1: that was a lot different, very different. Mike Munchaks was

79
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 1: actually six days after the final game, and you know

80
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 1: the word was they asked him for some changes and

81
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 1: he had closed the season well. They thought a lot

82
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:34,160
Speaker 1: of Munchack, but just couldn't get it worked out and

83
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:36,919
Speaker 1: so decided it was best for all that he'd not

84
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:43,159
Speaker 1: continue this. With Mike Vrabels firing was very different in

85
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 1: that Monday became unusual, and it became unusual because there

86
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:52,599
Speaker 1: was not a final press conference, which was outside the norm,

87
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 1: and then people started to wonder what was going on.

88
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,839
Speaker 1: And then when the news hit about eleven thirty on Tuesday.

89
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 1: I still think it people a back overall. I think

90
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:07,600
Speaker 1: the number one reaction before anything else was just surprise.

91
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, you never really know what's going on unless

92
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:12,599
Speaker 3: you're in the room, right, And I've been in the room,

93
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 3: and so I can speak from you know, to it

94
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 3: to Rich's previous question, I can speak from experience, and

95
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:21,280
Speaker 3: you know, there's a lot of conjecture normally around all

96
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 3: of these things. I mean, it is and it's and

97
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 3: you know, and the term black Monday has become a

98
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:27,679
Speaker 3: big deal.

99
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:29,599
Speaker 2: And then as far it's.

100
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 3: Just nashally for conversations and stuff. But unless you're in

101
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 3: the room, Mike and Rett, you really don't know what's

102
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:38,160
Speaker 3: going on. You don't know. You can you can surmise,

103
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:40,720
Speaker 3: you can have a lot of conjecture, And that's why

104
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:42,599
Speaker 3: it's always best if you're one of the you know,

105
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 3: if you're one of the principles, which I was at

106
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 3: one time, is just keep your powder dry and in

107
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 3: the room because the rest of it you can't dispel

108
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 3: rumors and you can't dispel conjecture, and you can't dispel

109
00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 3: people's opinions on the outside. Right, So everything you don't

110
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:02,839
Speaker 3: know unless you're in the room.

111
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 4: One follow up to what Monday was, the tell to

112
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:11,279
Speaker 4: me was that there was no press conference and I

113
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 4: think that's what immediately got people's radar up. So we

114
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:17,039
Speaker 4: had locker room clean out day and a lot of

115
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:19,279
Speaker 4: the media members were there. I was there gathering some

116
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 4: audio myself, and we had some players tell us there

117
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 4: was no final team meeting. Tell me why that wasn't

118
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:28,160
Speaker 4: a tell or as big a deal as no press conference.

119
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 3: Well, a lot of times you don't have a final

120
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 3: team meeting just because of the fact that you have meetings,

121
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 3: individual meetings, and you'll meet with the players individually. You

122
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 3: know as that goes on, because in a big team meeting,

123
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 3: there are some guys on the team that aren't going

124
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:46,839
Speaker 3: to be there. You know they're not going to be there,

125
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 3: and so the individual meetings is what is really more

126
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:52,039
Speaker 3: critical than just an entire team meeting.

127
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 1: Well, and that's what Ryan Tannehill said too. He said

128
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:59,200
Speaker 1: Mike Vrabo had done team gathering some years and other

129
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 1: years he had not. And in my time here, and

130
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 1: I was asked about it on the radio, I guess, yeah,

131
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 1: it was Monday. I don't remember that being standard operating procedure.

132
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:16,160
Speaker 1: I know it's happened some but I didn't feel like

133
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 1: that it happened every year and then what Ryan Tannehill

134
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 1: said back that up that Vrabel had done that some

135
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 1: years and some years he had not, So I'm with

136
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 1: rehtt though the press conference has almost always been held

137
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 1: on Monday, it doesn't have to be correct. You have

138
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 1: to hold one by the end of the week via

139
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 1: league rules, but here it's always been done the day

140
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 1: after the game as far as I can remember. I

141
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 1: don't know if there was a trip we took at

142
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 1: some point, or there was a weather thing that had

143
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 1: come up or anything. There may have been exceptions, but maybe,

144
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 1: but there was a reason for it. Right.

145
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 4: It was the first time I can remember there wasn't

146
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 4: a season wrap up presser from the head coach, and

147
00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 4: I think the reaction among most people at that point

148
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 4: is they're trying to work a trade, you know. That's

149
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 4: what people kind of went to at that point, because

150
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 4: the majority of the speculation was that he was definitely

151
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 4: going to be back outside the building, and then it

152
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:18,119
Speaker 4: was you get to Monday, and then there's the talk

153
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 4: of the trade possibility.

154
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 1: But as you dig into that, it was going to

155
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:26,560
Speaker 1: be that was going to be a very convoluted thing

156
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 1: to try to do.

157
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 2: That's exactly the word I was going to use because

158
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 2: it is right.

159
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:34,080
Speaker 3: It is now people will point to, well, Sean Payton

160
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 3: was traded, he wasn't an active coach at the time.

161
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:37,720
Speaker 2: Right, he wasn't an active coach.

162
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:40,560
Speaker 3: He was still under contract, but he was not an

163
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 3: active coach at the time. But it is very convoluted

164
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:46,680
Speaker 3: and it takes time, and plus the principal and the

165
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:48,719
Speaker 3: parties involved has to agree to it.

166
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:51,440
Speaker 1: Well. And the other thing about the Denver thing, they

167
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:56,079
Speaker 1: had already been through their entire process correct, so they

168
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 1: had checked every box. They had talked to everybody they

169
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 1: wanted to, so they were done. The time constraint issue

170
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:07,720
Speaker 1: because if you're sitting here, I mean just hypothetically, you

171
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 1: make a deal with someone, then you know they still

172
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:16,559
Speaker 1: have criteria they have to meet, sure, which is probably

173
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 1: not going to be totally honest. If you're interviewing people

174
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 1: just to interview them because you have to meet requirements.

175
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:29,720
Speaker 1: I don't think anybody thinks that's really cool. The team,

176
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:32,400
Speaker 1: you know, the teams on either side wouldn't think that

177
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 1: was very cool. I wouldn't think the league would think

178
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:36,720
Speaker 1: that was very cool. And it's just not right. The

179
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:39,960
Speaker 1: second part is what if the other team pulls out

180
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:43,720
Speaker 1: what if in the course of those interviews they meet

181
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 1: they meet somebody they like better and they say, you know,

182
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:49,360
Speaker 1: we're just not going to do this because they're not

183
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:53,959
Speaker 1: bound to anything. And you, as the trading team have

184
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:59,200
Speaker 1: to sit and wait because you can't start interviewing coaches

185
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 1: while you still have a coach.

186
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 2: And see all of that.

187
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:05,440
Speaker 3: You're laying it out very well, and people don't think

188
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:07,840
Speaker 3: about that, right. And here's the other thing, Mike, that

189
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 3: when you start talking about trading a coach, the first

190
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 3: thing that comes to people's mind is, well, we're going

191
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:16,200
Speaker 3: to get first round draft picks. Right, Wait a minute,

192
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 3: you probably aren't. You probably are not going to do that,

193
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 3: and so then you've got to negotiate the picks that

194
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 3: you're going to get. There's a lot that goes into it,

195
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 3: and so convoluted is a perfect word for it. But

196
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 3: it's more intricate and detailed than people know unless you've

197
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:34,319
Speaker 3: been on the inside of it and know what all

198
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 3: of that works. And everything in the National Football League

199
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 3: is done on a timeline. Oh yeah, there are there

200
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:43,320
Speaker 3: are deadlines for everything that's done in the National Football League.

201
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 3: And regardless of your circumstances, you still have to meet

202
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:49,080
Speaker 3: those deadlines regardless of what goes on.

203
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:53,560
Speaker 4: I was thinking, and I totally agree Mike, with the

204
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:55,840
Speaker 4: way the Rooney rule is set up and those things.

205
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:58,560
Speaker 4: I'm like, there's so many layers to this, it would

206
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:01,320
Speaker 4: it would be pains aching to try to do all

207
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 4: of that. And yeah, you're right, if somebody just says, no,

208
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 4: we're not going to do that. We found our candidate.

209
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 4: We like that. It's easier said than done. I guess

210
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:13,160
Speaker 4: in this case the thing, and I'm even thinking about

211
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 4: all the layers to it, I would assume, much like

212
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 4: when a team trades with another team for a player

213
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:22,800
Speaker 4: and picks or whatever, you know, all that paperwork has

214
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:24,920
Speaker 4: to match that they send into the league office. I

215
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:27,600
Speaker 4: would say even that has to be the same thing

216
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:30,000
Speaker 4: to go for the trade hundred percent.

217
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,079
Speaker 1: But I go back what coach said is the most

218
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:36,199
Speaker 1: important overlooked fact in all of this is the coach

219
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 1: has to agree correct different from the player party. And

220
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 1: the reality is, if you were Mike Vrabel, why would

221
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:47,960
Speaker 1: you agree? Why would you not want to make them

222
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 1: fire you so you could make your own deal, even

223
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 1: if it's with the team where you want to go.

224
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:57,559
Speaker 1: You want to make your own deal. You don't want

225
00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:00,319
Speaker 1: to be tied into anything at this point. If your

226
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 1: current team no longer wants you, then, from from the

227
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:08,600
Speaker 1: coaching standpoint, I'm not sure why a coach, Yeah, just

228
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 1: a coach would agree.

229
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 2: Thank you.

230
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:12,839
Speaker 3: Just insert any name in that any name, insert any

231
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 3: name in that box. I mean, I was a coach

232
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:17,920
Speaker 3: for a long time. Insert my name in that box.

233
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:21,120
Speaker 3: You don't do that, and Mac, let's take it your

234
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 3: representation wouldn't let you do no either.

235
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:25,320
Speaker 4: Let's take it a step further to go back to

236
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:29,720
Speaker 4: your point about you're not automatically getting first round draft picks. No,

237
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:32,959
Speaker 4: let's say hypothetically you are. Why would you go to

238
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:34,840
Speaker 4: a place where you're going to be handicapped and not

239
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:37,400
Speaker 4: have a first round pick, if it's in this year's draft.

240
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 4: Why would you go to that situation knowing that you'd

241
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:43,199
Speaker 4: be behind the eight ball and trying to do player.

242
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 3: Acquisition you'd have to you're assuming now that you're going

243
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:47,440
Speaker 3: to the place that you're traded to.

244
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:50,720
Speaker 4: You know that is, But I'm just saying, even in

245
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:53,120
Speaker 4: that hypothetical, I wouldn't even I'm like, why would I

246
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:53,439
Speaker 4: go there?

247
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 1: Well, but you look at it too. I mean, John

248
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 1: Gruden wanted to go to Tampa. He told Al Davis

249
00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 1: he wanted to go to Tampa. When Al Davis called

250
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 1: him and said Tampa wants you, he said, that's what

251
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 1: I want to do. Please do this trade. Bill Belichick

252
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 1: was not going to coach the Jets. He resigned after

253
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 1: thirty minutes or whatever.

254
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:13,559
Speaker 2: I resign as the eighth C of the nyj on a.

255
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 1: Piece of pape, on a piece of paper. Right, He

256
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:17,840
Speaker 1: wasn't ever going to go there. He was going to

257
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 1: New England because he had been there before and the

258
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 1: Crafts wanted him. These were deals that were already in place,

259
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 1: in place during a totally different time when the league

260
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:31,600
Speaker 1: did not have all of their rules in place. And

261
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:36,280
Speaker 1: it's not just the Rooney rule, which is part of it.

262
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 1: But remember this year, you cannot interview current NFL coaches

263
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 1: until after the divisional round in person, in person, right,

264
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:48,480
Speaker 1: virtual you can do in a window. And they're and

265
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:50,640
Speaker 1: what they're trying not to interrupt them, sorry, but what

266
00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:54,600
Speaker 1: they're trying to do is they're trying to give coaches

267
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:57,960
Speaker 1: who go deep in the playoffs a chance to still

268
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:01,120
Speaker 1: be in the hiring cycle because everybody was making their

269
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:06,120
Speaker 1: hires before they could talk to every possible coach. So

270
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 1: I mean, they can't limit it out all the way

271
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 1: to the Super Bowl. Maybe they do that at some point,

272
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:15,720
Speaker 1: but right now it's just zoom interviews. The Titans are

273
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:18,600
Speaker 1: about to start zoom interview so some teams have started

274
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:22,200
Speaker 1: our starting zoom interviewers and then but you can't bring

275
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:26,720
Speaker 1: them in if they're a current NFL coach until after

276
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:29,800
Speaker 1: January the twenty second, And that's a big.

277
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 4: That's a midday. After the division all round, you can

278
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:32,840
Speaker 4: start bringing them in.

279
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:35,680
Speaker 2: And that's a big point. It's a huge point. And

280
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:38,160
Speaker 2: it's a huge point too that you need to be able.

281
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:41,000
Speaker 3: To start those virtual interviews right because that takes the

282
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:45,000
Speaker 3: place of an initial interview. When I was coming up

283
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:47,000
Speaker 3: in the league and then became a hot young coordinator

284
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:49,920
Speaker 3: in this they would send the league would send a

285
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:53,560
Speaker 3: television crew to wherever you were and have someone come

286
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 3: from the league and they would conduct an interview on

287
00:14:56,600 --> 00:15:00,840
Speaker 3: camera with you, tape it, you know, let you look

288
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:03,160
Speaker 3: through it and look at it, approve it, and then

289
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 3: they would send it to the league. And then it

290
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 3: was it was dispersed to all the owners, and they,

291
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:09,680
Speaker 3: you know, they could look at that, but you never

292
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 3: really got to talk to anybody until you were invited

293
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:15,880
Speaker 3: to come in for an interview. All the rules have

294
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 3: changed so much, Mike as to what you're saying right there.

295
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:21,280
Speaker 3: But if you're if you're trying to hire a new

296
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 3: coach and you want to get in on these initial

297
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:26,640
Speaker 3: zoom interviews, you got to start immediately, and you got

298
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 3: to start quick, especially if some of the candidates are

299
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 3: still in the playoffs, are still in the tournament.

300
00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 1: Yeah. I understand what the speculation was about the trading.

301
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:39,560
Speaker 1: I get that totally. I don't think anybody was wrong.

302
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:43,960
Speaker 1: I just don't know that everybody fully realized what would

303
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:44,760
Speaker 1: go into it.

304
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:45,320
Speaker 2: They didn't.

305
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:48,880
Speaker 1: I mean I didn't, honestly. You know. I had to

306
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 1: read some things and go over some things, and then

307
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 1: the first thing I thought is this is going to

308
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:55,480
Speaker 1: be really hard to do. But I didn't know that

309
00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:57,720
Speaker 1: until I would delve into.

310
00:15:57,640 --> 00:15:59,280
Speaker 4: And it's funny you say that because I had the

311
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 4: same thing as you have people at your office or

312
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:03,000
Speaker 4: people you family.

313
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 1: How does that work?

314
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 4: D Like, I'm still kind of digging through that, and

315
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 4: you look at I think there's been eight trades for

316
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,920
Speaker 4: coaches since the AFL NFL merger in seventy six of

317
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 4: those in the last twenty four years. And I'm thinking,

318
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:20,520
Speaker 4: as as structured as it is now, it's going to

319
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:23,520
Speaker 4: be even less of a thing. Like and somebody the

320
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:26,360
Speaker 4: other day, I was like, it's happened, it's just not frequent,

321
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 4: and I said, I don't know that it'll be as

322
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:30,920
Speaker 4: frequent it's been in the last twenty four years.

323
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 3: Well to Mike's point, though it happened before these rules

324
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 3: really rise.

325
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:37,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's and all of this has sort of

326
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 1: continued and you're gonna get you know, people have asked

327
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:46,880
Speaker 1: when will the Titans have their coach. You would think

328
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 1: they'd like to have their coach by, you know, sometime

329
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 1: January twenty fifth, twenty six, maybe Monday the twenty ninth

330
00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 1: or Tuesday the thirtieth, but they might not.

331
00:16:59,240 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 2: They might not.

332
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 1: They might not. I mean it may go. If you've

333
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:07,280
Speaker 1: got somebody you really want, then you would be willing to,

334
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:10,000
Speaker 1: you know, kind of wait around during that process. But

335
00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:14,040
Speaker 1: you will have some opportunities to make that contact and

336
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:17,520
Speaker 1: start to have some things in place because you've gone

337
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:18,160
Speaker 1: through all this.

338
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:21,920
Speaker 3: Up and by that date line that you just brought up,

339
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:24,480
Speaker 3: if you don't have your coach, you're getting pretty close

340
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:26,920
Speaker 3: to having your coach and knowing who it is.

341
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:28,520
Speaker 2: And I mean I've experienced it.

342
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:32,160
Speaker 3: I mean I've been to just about every Senior Both

343
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:35,080
Speaker 3: that's been since I've been in this league. There have

344
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:38,679
Speaker 3: been teams down there without a head coach. Now they

345
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:40,960
Speaker 3: were close to getting a head coach, or maybe the

346
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:43,479
Speaker 3: head coach was hired while they were down there, but

347
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:46,159
Speaker 3: it's not. That's not the deadline you're looking at. But

348
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:49,480
Speaker 3: as you say, you bring up a very very real point,

349
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:52,840
Speaker 3: back to my point about deadlines in the National Football

350
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:55,480
Speaker 3: League that you got to meet, there comes a point

351
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 3: in time when you need to have one in place

352
00:17:57,480 --> 00:17:59,080
Speaker 3: just so everything else can slot in.

353
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:01,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I mean, you'd like to have a coach

354
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:03,480
Speaker 1: by the Senior Bowl, but you don't.

355
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:04,440
Speaker 2: You don't have to.

356
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:07,439
Speaker 1: No, you don't have to do not And I mean.

357
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:11,240
Speaker 3: Because all the scouting work and all the all the

358
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:14,159
Speaker 3: legwork that goes into what the Senior Bowl is. What

359
00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:15,920
Speaker 3: we're getting ready to do is go down there and

360
00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:19,720
Speaker 3: look at the that's been done ten months in advance,

361
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:21,480
Speaker 3: right by your scouting apartment.

362
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:24,520
Speaker 1: Hey Titans fans, it's always game on with Duncan, So

363
00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:26,800
Speaker 1: grab a coffee and kick off the action. Whether that's

364
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:28,679
Speaker 1: drinking a cup of coffee on your way to the

365
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:31,600
Speaker 1: game or grabbing one to go before watching the game

366
00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:33,680
Speaker 1: at home, Duncan is always there to help you get

367

Speaker 1: be at our best come game time, which is why

369
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:40,960
Speaker 1: Duncan is the most important part of your game day

370
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:45,400
Speaker 1: ritual because it's always the best call for football America

371
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:47,680
Speaker 1: runs on Duncan.

372
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:50,280
Speaker 2: There it is when do I get one of those?

373
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:52,960
Speaker 1: You want one of these? Yes, you can have this one.

Speaker 1: Turn. So what I want to know of all of

376
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:02,200
Speaker 1: Dave mcga and I want to know of all of

377
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:05,520
Speaker 1: the candidates who've been mentioned that the Titans have asked

378
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:08,480
Speaker 1: to interview. How many of them do you have pictures

379
00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:11,760
Speaker 1: with when they were children, sitting on your knee or

380
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 1: on a jungle gym or gym at a four year

381
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:18,919
Speaker 1: old birthday party? How many of these guys have you

382
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:21,560
Speaker 1: known since they were born? With you and Cheese?

383
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 3: First of all, First of all, I had a jungle

384
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:26,200
Speaker 3: gym growing up, and it was outstanding.

385
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:27,480
Speaker 1: It was outstanding.

386
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:29,560
Speaker 3: We had the best jungle gym in the neighborhood, and

387
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:31,680
Speaker 3: everybody came over there and kids broke their arms on.

388
00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:32,320
Speaker 2: Them all the time.

389
00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:34,000
Speaker 1: They were the best.

390
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:39,840
Speaker 3: They were so good and so unsafe. My grandfather bought

391
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:42,480
Speaker 3: us the biggest, most elaborate jungle gym, and my grandmother

392
00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:44,479
Speaker 3: and mother were so mad at him because you got

393
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:48,800
Speaker 3: kids climbing up ten twelve feet off the ground, metal.

394
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:50,680
Speaker 1: King of the mountain, and you try to punch them

395
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:52,920
Speaker 1: off the top of them. Oh yeah, I shot.

396
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:54,800
Speaker 2: I shot my brother with a bb gun off the

397
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 2: top of it and he broke his arm.

398
00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:58,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, and he still speaks to you.

399
00:19:59,000 --> 00:19:59,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, just fairly.

400
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:03,280
Speaker 3: But but you bringing up jungle gym triggered me pretty much.

401
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:05,879
Speaker 1: Okay, you know that's stings too. I've been shot by

402
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 1: BB gun. I have to That's that's not fun.

403
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:10,680
Speaker 3: So anyway, I know, I know, I know a couple

404
00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:14,399
Speaker 3: of them like that, just like you know, before the

405
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:15,960
Speaker 3: Jacksonville game, Press Taylor came.

406
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:18,080

408
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:21,520
Speaker 3: a great family.

409
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:24,280
Speaker 1: He waited for you he's getting ready to coach a

410
00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:26,840
Speaker 1: game and he's waiting for Coach Max's segment to be

411
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:28,480
Speaker 1: over because I can wait.

412
00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:32,880
Speaker 3: So, I mean, but I've I've been in this realm

413
00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:36,440
Speaker 3: so long, and there are there are coaches sons now

414
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:39,399
Speaker 3: that are coming up through the ranks that are pretty

415
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:40,440
Speaker 3: good football coaches.

416
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, it happens.

417
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:46,080
Speaker 1: So how many of them? So Brian Callahansman mentioned, well.

418
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 2: I knew, I knew his dad, Bill, you know, very

419
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:49,480
Speaker 2: very well.

420
00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:51,480
Speaker 1: I'm still coaching but the Jets, right.

421
00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:56,040
Speaker 2: He's a he's a he's a offensive line coach. Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, he's.

422
00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:58,440
Speaker 1: One of the great offensive line coach, really good one,

423
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:00,359
Speaker 1: really really good one.

424
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:03,320
Speaker 2: Of course, the one I know the best is Slowly.

425
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:05,960
Speaker 3: Ryan Slowly because I worked with I worked with Bob

426
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:10,480
Speaker 3: his dad for three years. He was when Dave Wants

427
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:13,119
Speaker 3: that took over for Mike Ditka, and I stayed with

428
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:14,640
Speaker 3: them after Mike.

429
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:16,560
Speaker 2: Ditko was let go. Uh.

430
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:19,520
Speaker 3: Slow was with Jimmy Johnson on that staff that won

431
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:22,560
Speaker 3: those Super Bowls in Dallas, and then Slow came in.

432
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:25,399
Speaker 3: It was a defensive coordinator. So I've been around the

433
00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:29,199
Speaker 3: Slow family a lot, very just a real great family

434
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:33,560
Speaker 3: football family. His brother Stevie is in the personnel department

435
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:34,880
Speaker 3: in San Francisco.

436
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:39,360
Speaker 1: If you if somebody hires Brian Callahan, do you think

437
00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:41,639
Speaker 1: his dad comes as the old line coach. Well, I

438
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:44,080
Speaker 1: don't know. I mean that would be interesting package steel.

439
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:48,960
Speaker 1: Well kind of want that, wouldn't you. He's pretty good, Yeah,

440
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:49,640
Speaker 1: he's pretty good.

441
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:53,240
Speaker 2: He's more than pretty good. Yeah, he he he, he

442
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:53,840
Speaker 2: gets it.

443
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:55,600
Speaker 1: And he's been a head coach in this league and

444
00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:57,160
Speaker 1: in major college.

445
00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 3: And yes, he gets he gets But you know, I've

446
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:02,960
Speaker 3: five line play I'll just say this for Bill Callahan.

447
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:03,679
Speaker 2: He gets it.

448
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:08,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, he gets it. So let me move to something different.

449
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:11,520
Speaker 1: This is something I do, and this is kind of

450
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:13,840
Speaker 1: one of the crazy things that I do every year

451
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:19,080
Speaker 1: the day after the season ends. Crazy crazy, indeed, So

452
00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:24,960
Speaker 1: I do. I run the key stats for the playoff teams,

453
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 1: nice to compare what they're doing. And you know, some

454
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:31,680
Speaker 1: a lot of years we've been in the playoffs, which

455
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:34,800
Speaker 1: has been great. This year we're not. And I was

456
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:36,800
Speaker 1: going to share a few of them with you to

457
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:40,720
Speaker 1: see if you think they make sense. The obvious one

458
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:43,960
Speaker 1: when you start on offense is points per game. The

459
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:49,200
Speaker 1: average playoff team twenty four point eight points per game

460
00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:53,840
Speaker 1: makes sense. Titan seventeen point nine. So it's a touchdown, it's.

461
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:57,040
Speaker 2: A touchdown a game, yep, which in a one score

462
00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:57,760
Speaker 2: game makes.

463
00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:00,840
Speaker 1: It makes a big difference. But that's your standard. You

464
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:03,160
Speaker 1: would you would kind of expect that. I would think

465
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:08,119
Speaker 1: if you take Pittsburgh out, that number goes to like

466
00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:11,280
Speaker 1: almost twenty five and a half points a game. Pittsburgh

467
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:15,879
Speaker 1: is the Pittsburgh is the team offensively in the playoffs,

468
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:18,919
Speaker 1: that would be the norm. Below the norm, yes, the

469
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:24,000
Speaker 1: one at the top would be probably Miami, Miami. But anyway, twenty.

470
00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:25,359
Speaker 3: Four, but you know what, and that's a little bit

471
00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:29,360
Speaker 3: skewed for this reason. And Miami had a seventy point game.

472
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:29,840
Speaker 1: They did.

473
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:33,200
Speaker 2: They had a seventy point game which go ahead.

474
00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:36,280
Speaker 1: They did, but they also had a couple of fourteen

475
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:42,159
Speaker 1: point yes, sir, I did all right. Rushing yards I

476
00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 1: don't think is a is a big deal at all.

477
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:47,639
Speaker 1: The average playoff team one hundred and twenty one and

478
00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:50,800
Speaker 1: a half rushing yards per game on twenty eight carries.

479
00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:55,679
Speaker 1: They averaged four point three to one per carry. The

480
00:23:55,720 --> 00:24:00,159
Speaker 1: Titans one hundred and eight point six rushing yards per

481
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:03,359
Speaker 1: game on twenty six carries, they averaged four to a carry.

482
00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:06,600
Speaker 1: They were behind a lot, so they didn't get to

483
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:08,520
Speaker 1: run it quite as much. But if you're looking at

484
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:11,280
Speaker 1: yards per carry, not the same, about the same, so

485
00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:14,199
Speaker 1: the run game doesn't seem to be an issue. The

486
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:19,520
Speaker 1: pass game, however, playoff teams averaged two hundred and thirty

487
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:24,360
Speaker 1: seven yards passing per game on thirty three point six

488
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:27,880
Speaker 1: attempts with twenty two point two completions, so they averaged

489
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:32,760
Speaker 1: a complete sixty five percent of their passes, and the

490
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:36,280
Speaker 1: playoff teams averaged nearly twenty eight touchdown passes.

491
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:38,280
Speaker 2: I was waiting for the touchdowns.

492
00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:42,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay. The Titans averaged one hundred and eighty point

493
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:47,520
Speaker 1: four yards passing per game seventeen point six completions out

494
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:51,160
Speaker 1: of twenty nine point one attempts. Titans complete just sixty

495
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:54,040
Speaker 1: one and a half percent of their passes, so they're

496
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:58,840
Speaker 1: four percent below what the playoff teams are, which means

497
00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:01,440
Speaker 1: the clock doesn't keep running. Obviously, all of that it's

498
00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:05,119
Speaker 1: a misplay league average is roughly sixty four percent, so

499
00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:07,560
Speaker 1: the Titans were under the norm, and the Titans just

500
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:09,640
Speaker 1: fourteen touchdown passes.

501
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 3: Half there, it is half then they're and they're Now

502
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:15,359
Speaker 3: you're starting to dig into something.

503
00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:19,000
Speaker 1: Now here's a couple bore. Uh. Playoff teams averaging thirty

504
00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:25,399
Speaker 1: six sacks allowed, Titans sixty four sacks. Playoff teams convert

505
00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:29,440
Speaker 1: forty three percent of their third downs Titans thirty three

506
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:31,600
Speaker 1: and a half percent of their third down. Big difference,

507
00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 1: Big difference. Titan's okay on turnovers, twenty turnovers. They're actually

508
00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:40,440
Speaker 1: below the playoff team's average of twenty one point seven

509
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:43,040
Speaker 1: turnovers for an offense. So they were I mean, if

510
00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:45,240
Speaker 1: you'd have told Mike Rabel before the season his team

511
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:47,919
Speaker 1: would only turn the ball over twenty times, he'd have taken.

512
00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:48,879
Speaker 2: That in seventeen games.

513
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:54,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, to have taken that. Red zone success. Playoff

514
00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:58,720
Speaker 1: teams average fifty nine red zone trips, nearly fifty nine

515
00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:02,560
Speaker 1: percent touchdown score in those red zone trips. Titans forty

516
00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:07,280
Speaker 1: eight red zone trips, forty eight percent touchdowns. And there's

517
00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:11,520
Speaker 1: a difference, and there's the difference defensively. When you look

518
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:14,920
Speaker 1: at some of these numbers, it's pretty interesting. Playoff teams

519
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:19,399
Speaker 1: allowed twenty point two points per game. The Titans allowed

520
00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:23,320
Speaker 1: twenty one point six points per game. Negligible. That's that's

521
00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:28,159
Speaker 1: not a big deal. Playoff teams allowed three hundred and

522
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:32,200
Speaker 1: nineteen point five yards per game total offense. Titans gave

523
00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:37,040
Speaker 1: up three thirty five per game yardage. Does meanything right? Correct?

524
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:41,680
Speaker 1: Run defense, The Titans were actually better on run defense

525
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:45,080
Speaker 1: than the average playoff team one hundred five yards rushing

526
00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:47,720
Speaker 1: per game on twenty five carries for a four point

527
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:52,679
Speaker 1: one five per carry average for a playoff team. Titans

528
00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:56,879
Speaker 1: one oh seven point seven on twenty eight carries three

529
00:26:57,119 --> 00:26:59,399
Speaker 1: eight per carry on rushing.

530
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:01,240
Speaker 2: I think felt that during the year.

531
00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:09,360
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, pass defense, playoff teams to fourteen a game,

532
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:14,800
Speaker 1: allowed sixty three percent completions. They allowed twenty three touchdown

533
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:20,400
Speaker 1: passes Titans two hundred and twenty seven yards per game allowed.

534
00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:25,120
Speaker 1: Not too bad, but nearly sixty eight percent completion percentage.

535
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:25,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's it.

536
00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:29,920
Speaker 3: That's a's that's a that's a continuation of series right there.

537
00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:34,040
Speaker 1: And twenty touchdowns allowed, so not not terrible. On a touchdowns.

538
00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:38,640
Speaker 1: Playoff teams averaged forty nine sacks per game or per team.

539
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:45,119
Speaker 1: Titans had forty five playoff teams fourteen interceptions Titans with six.

540
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:47,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, and there's a big difference, too big difference.

541
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:50,480
Speaker 1: We Titans were just as good on third down as

542
00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:55,280
Speaker 1: playoff teams. Playoff teams allowed thirty eight point four percent

543
00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:58,639
Speaker 1: of opponent third downs to be converted, Titans thirty eight

544
00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:01,560
Speaker 1: point five percent. The same, Yeah, exactly the same.

545
00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:03,560
Speaker 2: How about red zone defense?

546
00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:08,439
Speaker 1: Red zone defense is interesting the opponent. The playoff teams

547
00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:13,840
Speaker 1: allowed fifty one red zone trips with twenty nine touchdowns,

548
00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:18,200
Speaker 1: meaning the touchdown ratio was fifty five percent. The Titans

549
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:22,679
Speaker 1: allowed sixty one red zone trips, probably too many, but

550
00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:26,600
Speaker 1: only twenty three touchdowns. The touchdown rate was just thirty

551
00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:29,520
Speaker 1: seven point seven percent. Titans number one in the NFL.

552
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:30,720
Speaker 1: That's number one in the league.

553
00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:34,880
Speaker 3: And that that that right there counterbalanced some of those

554
00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:35,400
Speaker 3: other ones.

555
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:38,240
Speaker 2: That that's why you had your one score game.

556
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:45,560
Speaker 1: That's right. Average takeaways for playoff defenses twenty four Titans

557
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:46,680
Speaker 1: with fourteen.

558
00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:48,440
Speaker 2: And there's a there's a huge difference there.

559
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:54,440
Speaker 1: Average turnover ratio for a playoff team plus two Titans

560
00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:59,360
Speaker 1: minus six and another one I ran. Average penalties per

561
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:02,200
Speaker 1: team for play off team six penalties per game fifty yards,

562
00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:03,640
Speaker 1: Titans seven for fifty two.

563
00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:07,640
Speaker 3: The same, but there's there's some significant ones in there

564
00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:10,760
Speaker 3: are sif you can see how a game seesaws and

565
00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:13,000
Speaker 3: so when we talk, I mean all of the things

566
00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:15,600
Speaker 3: that we present on Titans Radio before the game of

567
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:19,040
Speaker 3: here's what might happen, here's what has to happen to

568
00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:21,840
Speaker 3: be able to win. You can see the counterbalance and

569
00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:24,080
Speaker 3: the things that we talk about as far as third

570
00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:27,720
Speaker 3: down success, as far as you know, limiting explosive plays,

571
00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:29,960
Speaker 3: as far as scoring touchdowns once you get in the

572
00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:33,440
Speaker 3: red zone, making them kick field goals on defense when

573
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:35,760
Speaker 3: you're in the red zone. All of those things come out.

574
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:39,040
Speaker 3: But the turnovers in the National Football League, and we

575
00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:42,240
Speaker 3: always talk about turnovers and explosives are huge things.

576
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:44,959
Speaker 1: Yeah. The other thing too, when you run numbers like

577
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:49,720
Speaker 1: this is that it is staggering how much less the

578
00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:52,840
Speaker 1: run game means than it did even ten years ago,

579
00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:57,160
Speaker 1: maybe even five years ago. It's it's much more about

580
00:29:57,160 --> 00:29:59,959
Speaker 1: the efficiency and the success in the passing game.

581
00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:03,360
Speaker 3: Well, and but the run game has to compliment it

582
00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:06,360
Speaker 3: because at some time, yeah, and at some time you're

583
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:07,640
Speaker 3: going to have to be able to run it. But

584
00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:11,160
Speaker 3: to say that you're going to lean on it the

585
00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:15,600
Speaker 3: whole time, it just doesn't happen. The National Football League

586
00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:17,920
Speaker 3: just because of the way the rules are set now.

587
00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:20,480
Speaker 1: And some of these numbers, rushing numbers are skewed too

588
00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:23,120
Speaker 1: because of quarterbacks running one hundred percent.

589
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:26,200
Speaker 4: The thing that has shifted to me and all of

590
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:29,080
Speaker 4: that because Mac, you know, you're right with the way

591
00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:32,560
Speaker 4: these offenses work. You've got to have three down backs

592
00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:34,840
Speaker 4: to make all that stuff continue to gin.

593
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:39,360
Speaker 1: But you know, it hadn't been that many years ago, Mike.

594
00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:43,080
Speaker 4: If you ran the ball by committee as a team,

595
00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:44,760
Speaker 4: you're almost looked at it as like, what's wrong with

596
00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:46,520
Speaker 4: you? You don't have a bell cow, you don't have a

597
00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:48,040
Speaker 4: stud back, what's wrong with you?

598
00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:50,520
Speaker 1: But the whole thing, now, that's the way of the world. Yeah,

599
00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:53,440
Speaker 1: and that's and that's where it really is because when

600
00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:55,680
Speaker 1: you well, I'm gonna talk about that in a second,

601
00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:58,080
Speaker 1: let me mention. Seat geek is now the official ticketing

602
00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:01,240
Speaker 1: partner of the Tennessee Titans. Whether you're buying or selling

603
00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:04,360
Speaker 1: tickets to Titans games or any live event in Nashville,

604
00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:06,680
Speaker 1: seat geek is the place to do it. Seat Geek

605
00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:09,160
Speaker 1: the new official ticketing partner of the Tennessee Titans. So

606
00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:12,920
Speaker 1: Titans fans can fan. Yeah, I mean You're right, because

607
00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:16,120
Speaker 1: I've done some work on that too. As we get

608
00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:19,200
Speaker 1: ready to go into this fascinating off season.

609
00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:21,160
Speaker 2: It is going to be a fascinating one.

610
00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:24,960
Speaker 1: And you talk about the times before this weekend and

611
00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:33,560
Speaker 1: got more fascinating on too. So Ran Carthon and Anthony

612
00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:38,080
Speaker 1: Robinson and Chad Brinker and whomever the new head coach is,

613
00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:41,200
Speaker 1: and probably some guys who continue to work in all

614
00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:44,760
Speaker 1: of those areas. They are in a position where they

615
00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:50,480
Speaker 1: are now going to be able to reset the valuations

616
00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:54,000
Speaker 1: for this franchise in terms of the salary cap. Absolutely,

617
00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:58,200
Speaker 1: and this is the first time that I can recall

618
00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:02,800
Speaker 1: that somebody had had a chance to set the philosophy

619
00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:05,520
Speaker 1: here at least, because it feels like we've always been

620
00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:09,240
Speaker 1: battling the cap forever. Last year certainly battling the cap.

621
00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:13,480
Speaker 1: But you're gonna sit down and you're going to attach

622
00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:18,840
Speaker 1: a value not just to players, but to certain positions

623
00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:22,000
Speaker 1: in terms of how this game is played now.

624
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:25,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, and that that is a is a very relevant

625
00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:28,520
Speaker 3: point because, first of all, I'm excited about this off season.

626
00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:30,880
Speaker 2: This off season is going to be exciting because you

627
00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:33,280
Speaker 2: have a chance to do that and you have the

628
00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:34,920
Speaker 2: assets to do it with.

629
00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:39,120
Speaker 3: But you know, I talked to a lot of people

630
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:40,640
Speaker 3: and they say, well, the times are going to have

631
00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:44,880
Speaker 3: a whole lot of money to spend. I said, there's

632
00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:47,600
Speaker 3: a big difference in having a pot of money and

633
00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:51,520
Speaker 3: then allocating those assets so that it's beneficial not only

634
00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:53,480
Speaker 3: at the present but in the future.

635
00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:56,080
Speaker 2: Well, that's the You can't take that money.

636
00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:58,640
Speaker 3: And just be a drunken sailor on leave and just

637
00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:01,760
Speaker 3: be throwing it out you you cannot do that. And

638
00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:04,600
Speaker 3: as you said, this is a time right now where

639
00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:06,640
Speaker 3: you've got a chance to reset a lot of things.

640
00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:10,360
Speaker 1: Well, you've got a chance to set yourself up going

641
00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:14,440
Speaker 1: forward for the next four or five six years.

642
00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:16,440
Speaker 3: Which is the window that you're looking at anyway in

643
00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:17,680
Speaker 3: the National Football League.

644
00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:19,760
Speaker 2: And it's no.

645
00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:23,560
Speaker 3: Secret to any of us, are the three of us

646
00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:27,080
Speaker 3: sitting here, the people behind the camera, the people listening

647
00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:30,360
Speaker 3: to us. One of the major things is you've got

648
00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:31,320
Speaker 3: a young quarterback.

649
00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:31,960
Speaker 1: That's it.

650
00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:35,520
Speaker 3: You've got a young quarterback, and that is the axis

651
00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:39,280
Speaker 3: that everything revolves around when you talk about resetting your money.

652
00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:43,520
Speaker 1: Well, and his cap hit in the next two years,

653
00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:51,520
Speaker 1: Will Levis's is under five million dollars, which is and

654
00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:56,080
Speaker 1: then Taja Spears as your lead back. His cap hit

655
00:33:56,240 --> 00:34:00,080
Speaker 1: in the next two years is less than three million dollars.

656
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:03,080
Speaker 4: Which when you're visualizing that pie chart that people use,

657
00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:06,920
Speaker 4: like look at the Broncos and what the piece of

658
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:09,640
Speaker 4: pie is for Russell Wilson in the quarterback to go

659
00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:13,360
Speaker 4: back to her, how much positionally you allocate and you

660
00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:16,160
Speaker 4: look at that, I mean, it's vastly well, but let's say,

661
00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:20,200
Speaker 4: all right, let's say Will Levis becomes really the dude

662
00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:26,120
Speaker 4: that he becomes that guy in twenty twenty six, Will

663
00:34:26,200 --> 00:34:27,279
Speaker 4: Levis is getting.

664
00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:28,799
Speaker 1: Paid, Sure he is and made I mean you want

665
00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:31,080
Speaker 1: him to he I mean, that's gonna be if he

666
00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:36,120
Speaker 1: becomes that guy. For what quarterbacks cost, he's gonna be

667
00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:40,000
Speaker 1: fifty million dollars. I mean, that's what those guys cost now.

668
00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:42,719
Speaker 1: And just to think what it will be in two

669
00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:43,560
Speaker 1: more years.

670
00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:47,960
Speaker 2: And again with the caveat that the salary cap is

671
00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:48,600
Speaker 2: going to escalate.

672
00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:50,239
Speaker 1: It's going to escalate every year.

673
00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:53,680
Speaker 3: And the thing that's important to we went through a

674
00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:57,399
Speaker 3: very very strange time with the salary cap during COVID, right,

675
00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:00,440
Speaker 3: that was that that was a retraction and a lot

676
00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:03,279
Speaker 3: of these contracts were made not knowing that the whole

677
00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:06,279
Speaker 3: world was going to catch COVID, and so now we're

678
00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:09,600
Speaker 3: catching up, and we are, we're speeding up to that.

679
00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:12,560
Speaker 3: So your point is very well made. But you're going

680
00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:13,960
Speaker 3: to have the assets too to do that.

681
00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:18,600
Speaker 1: But you still, because of this reset moment, have the

682
00:35:18,680 --> 00:35:23,359
Speaker 1: ability to know that if he takes off, you're going

683
00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:25,680
Speaker 1: to be able to pay him and not have to

684
00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:26,640
Speaker 1: take the team apart.

685
00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:28,160
Speaker 2: One hundred percent true.

686
00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:31,800
Speaker 1: That's the whole thing they're doing right now with the valuations.

687
00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:35,400
Speaker 1: I mean, Tannehill and Henry last year against the cap

688
00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:41,960
Speaker 1: combined cost roughly fifty three million dollars. And you know

689
00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:45,200
Speaker 1: ex I mean Tannehill played well here, didn't have a

690
00:35:45,239 --> 00:35:48,279
Speaker 1: great twenty twenty three, but he had played well up

691
00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:51,320
Speaker 1: until then. You signed him to the four year contract.

692
00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:54,000
Speaker 1: He earned all of it. Henry got the four year contract,

693
00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:56,600
Speaker 1: herened all of it, all of it. But what are

694
00:35:56,640 --> 00:36:01,160
Speaker 1: you going to prioritize in terms of where you're putting

695
00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:04,680
Speaker 1: your money and your assets, knowing that you have to

696
00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:07,480
Speaker 1: do that not just for twenty twenty four, but for

697
00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:10,640
Speaker 1: twenty five, twenty six, twenty seven. So at some point,

698
00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:12,680
Speaker 1: I mean, you've got a chance if you do this right,

699
00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:16,000
Speaker 1: because the CAP's going to be going up, and because

700
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:19,160
Speaker 1: you're doing this reset that you don't have to take

701
00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:20,040
Speaker 1: the team apart.

702
00:36:21,239 --> 00:36:23,560
Speaker 3: Here's the thing now you can Now you can set

703
00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:27,760
Speaker 3: your asset allocations without being forced to do something right.

704
00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:30,319
Speaker 1: That's the big plus well, and I mean I think

705
00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:32,719
Speaker 1: that that's probably where the decision is going to come

706
00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:36,719
Speaker 1: in on Derek Henry's future. It's it's not can he

707
00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:40,279
Speaker 1: play no, It's not do you want to pay him

708
00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:44,560
Speaker 1: as a star, it's do you do you invest in

709
00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:51,520
Speaker 1: the position understanding that you can take money elsewhere if

710
00:36:51,560 --> 00:36:53,879
Speaker 1: you don't invest in the running back position. Here, here's

711
00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:58,480
Speaker 1: a question I have for you Mac. As they're assessing

712
00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:02,440
Speaker 1: this situation, knowing that we don't know what the cap

713
00:37:02,520 --> 00:37:04,879
Speaker 1: number is. I've seen reports of it going from two

714
00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:07,160
Speaker 1: twenty four point eight to two forty. It's supposed to

715
00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:07,760
Speaker 1: be too forty.

716
00:37:07,840 --> 00:37:12,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, Are they making evaluations based on what it is currently?

717
00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:15,080
Speaker 4: And then if they get extra that's just icing on

718
00:37:15,160 --> 00:37:18,680
Speaker 4: the deal. As when that cap number is released, are

719
00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:20,480
Speaker 4: they are they working on an estimation?

720
00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:23,120
Speaker 2: They're working on a middle estimation.

721
00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:25,520
Speaker 3: Okay, they don't go they don't go with the because

722
00:37:25,520 --> 00:37:27,080
Speaker 3: you know it's going to increase.

723
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:29,239
Speaker 1: Right, But so you go middle of the road and.

724
00:37:29,239 --> 00:37:31,120
Speaker 2: The middle road and then if you then I can

725
00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:32,319
Speaker 2: that makes sense. You have it.

726
00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:34,120
Speaker 3: You have it, but you don't go it on what

727
00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:37,440
Speaker 3: the baseline is now because you know it's going to increase,

728
00:37:37,640 --> 00:37:38,680
Speaker 3: you just don't know how much.

729
00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:40,960
Speaker 1: But the Titans are not going to spend up to that. No,

730
00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:43,520
Speaker 1: we don't do that. That's not what you do. I mean,

731
00:37:43,560 --> 00:37:46,640
Speaker 1: because that's the thing that's the misnomber in this is

732
00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:49,399
Speaker 1: it's like, oh, you've got two hundred and forty point

733
00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:52,360
Speaker 1: eight million that you can spend. You've got to spend

734
00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:57,799
Speaker 1: two forty point six No, no, no, no again, That's

735
00:37:57,840 --> 00:38:01,239
Speaker 1: what this moment is. That's exactly is this is the

736
00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:07,240
Speaker 1: moment where this group who uses analytics, who uses different

737
00:38:07,239 --> 00:38:13,120
Speaker 1: evaluations for position groups, different lengths of contracts, to understand

738
00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:16,920
Speaker 1: what this is going to be, understanding what your future has.

739
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:21,120
Speaker 1: The biggest thing that potentially has happened for the Tennessee

740
00:38:21,160 --> 00:38:26,480
Speaker 1: Titans is they may have hit it with Will Levis.

741
00:38:26,239 --> 00:38:28,520
Speaker 1: That's huge And if you've hit it with a second

742
00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:34,160
Speaker 1: round quarterback for two years, it's absolutely fantastic. Now you

743
00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:36,280
Speaker 1: don't get a fifth year option with him though, because

744
00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:40,560
Speaker 1: he wasn't a first round pick. Correct, So you're gonna

745
00:38:40,680 --> 00:38:42,800
Speaker 1: I mean, there's got to be a contract in year four.

746
00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:47,040
Speaker 1: You know, you understand that. But you can plan for

747
00:38:47,239 --> 00:38:49,040
Speaker 1: you plan for it. And here's the other thing.

748
00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:52,399
Speaker 3: You want him to be that dude because if he's

749
00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:56,480
Speaker 3: that dude, then everything else that you've allocated around him.

750
00:38:56,560 --> 00:38:59,080
Speaker 2: If you do it correctly, you'll be able to get

751
00:38:59,120 --> 00:38:59,799
Speaker 2: where you want to get.

752
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:02,640
Speaker 1: But it will also affect what your draft strategy is.

753
00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:04,919
Speaker 2: Two hundred percent. That does it all.

754
00:39:04,960 --> 00:39:07,800
Speaker 3: It all goes together, and you know, and and again

755
00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:10,400
Speaker 3: when you're in it and done it, I've cleared a

756
00:39:10,440 --> 00:39:12,319
Speaker 3: cat before I've done I've done all of this.

757
00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:15,000
Speaker 2: You've got to be able to project. Now.

758
00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:17,959
Speaker 3: You're gonna make some mistakes because you're dealing with human beings, sure,

759
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:20,920
Speaker 3: both in your instance and then the people that you're evaluating.

760
00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:23,160
Speaker 2: But you've got to be able to You've got to

761
00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:23,879
Speaker 2: you've got to be.

762
00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:26,880
Speaker 3: Able to layer this thing so that you're never up

763
00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:28,160
Speaker 3: against all of a sudden.

764
00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:30,319
Speaker 2: You talk about the two hundred and forty million, it's like.

765
00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:33,279
Speaker 3: Buying a house, you know, for five million, dollars and

766
00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:35,239
Speaker 3: you spend all five million and you've got nothing to

767
00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:36,040
Speaker 3: pay the bills with.

768
00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:37,279
Speaker 2: You can't do that.

769
00:39:37,719 --> 00:39:39,840
Speaker 3: You've got to You've got a piece meal the thing together,

770
00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:43,600
Speaker 3: but do it, do it intelligently so that you're not

771
00:39:43,719 --> 00:39:45,960
Speaker 3: ever putting yourself back up against the wall again.

772
00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:49,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, you've just cleared your credit card balance down to zero,

773
00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:52,560
Speaker 4: and you're not gonna max it out again. You're gonna

774
00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:53,560
Speaker 4: figure this thing out.

775
00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:56,560
Speaker 1: I don't ever remember the Titans doing this, do you

776
00:39:56,680 --> 00:40:00,480
Speaker 1: rat No, I can't remember an instant. I can't remember

777
00:40:00,520 --> 00:40:03,000
Speaker 1: an instance where they have had this moment.

778
00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:06,359
Speaker 3: The closest that had been since been with the Titans. Now,

779
00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:09,160
Speaker 3: I've been with another club when I was a head

780
00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:09,839
Speaker 3: coach where we.

781
00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:13,520
Speaker 1: Had to clear the books.

782
00:40:13,560 --> 00:40:15,600
Speaker 3: Fire bomb the whole thing because it was just out

783
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:18,160
Speaker 3: of control. I started looking at that cap and I

784
00:40:18,160 --> 00:40:24,000
Speaker 3: about passed out. But here, the only time we were

785
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:25,960
Speaker 3: ever close to that is when we had when we

786
00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:28,920
Speaker 3: lost Javon, we lost Samorri, we lost you know, all

787
00:40:28,920 --> 00:40:33,719
Speaker 3: of those guys, you know, lost Eddie, lost Mike god

788
00:40:33,760 --> 00:40:34,919
Speaker 3: rest Is, so all.

789
00:40:34,840 --> 00:40:35,440
Speaker 2: Of those guys.

790
00:40:35,440 --> 00:40:38,600
Speaker 3: We lost those guys, and all of a sudden you're

791
00:40:38,640 --> 00:40:41,560
Speaker 3: sitting there going. And so you know, the two years

792
00:40:41,600 --> 00:40:44,840
Speaker 3: after that were really piecemeal together, but you were able

793
00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:47,680
Speaker 3: to bring in the David Thorntons, you got Chris Rope,

794
00:40:47,680 --> 00:40:50,600
Speaker 3: you got Kevin Mawy, and then you drafted, you hit

795
00:40:50,640 --> 00:40:52,400
Speaker 3: on some draft choices, and all of a sudden, then

796
00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:54,480
Speaker 3: you're back. You're back to ten and six, and then

797
00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:55,680
Speaker 3: you're back to thirteen and three.

798
00:40:55,960 --> 00:40:56,640
Speaker 2: You're number one.

799
00:40:56,719 --> 00:40:58,800
Speaker 3: So it can be done, but you have to be

800
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:02,440
Speaker 3: judicious with your money and your picks.

801
00:41:02,160 --> 00:41:05,799
Speaker 1: And your strategy. You've got to make a decision on

802
00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:08,719
Speaker 1: what your strategy is going to be. And again I

803
00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:12,239
Speaker 1: use the word valuation. There you go, because that's the

804
00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:15,400
Speaker 1: part of it. You know, it was as if people

805
00:41:15,400 --> 00:41:19,400
Speaker 1: when when the Titans let John neu Smith go, people like,

806
00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:21,160
Speaker 1: how can you let John new Smith go? I said,

807
00:41:21,520 --> 00:41:24,800
Speaker 1: you're paying a running back. It's a choice.

808
00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:25,720
Speaker 2: It's a choice.

809
00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:29,560
Speaker 1: You go to Kroger and you you've got so much money.

810
00:41:29,640 --> 00:41:31,680
Speaker 1: You can buy one thing, but you can't buy another.

811
00:41:32,239 --> 00:41:35,279
Speaker 1: That's the way the cap is. If you if you

812
00:41:35,400 --> 00:41:38,480
Speaker 1: paid Derrick Henry, which made total sense for where they

813
00:41:38,520 --> 00:41:43,320
Speaker 1: were at that moment, sure, then you make a decision

814
00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:46,920
Speaker 1: that you can't do other things now, is that the

815
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:50,879
Speaker 1: same decision you make? Now we'll see, I mean, we'll

816
00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:54,399
Speaker 1: we'll see how these guys see the cap. But it's

817
00:41:54,400 --> 00:41:58,640
Speaker 1: going to be fascinating in that way. And I think

818
00:41:58,680 --> 00:42:01,080
Speaker 1: it's going to be something that actors send to to

819
00:42:01,120 --> 00:42:05,320
Speaker 1: who the new coach is if he kind of buys

820
00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:07,839
Speaker 1: into what theyre And I mean, I don't know what

821
00:42:07,880 --> 00:42:10,319
Speaker 1: they're thinking is on this. No, I haven't. I mean

822
00:42:10,560 --> 00:42:11,960
Speaker 1: I haven't talked to him yet about it.

823
00:42:12,080 --> 00:42:14,960
Speaker 3: And I won't ask. I might ask, yeah, well you can't.

824
00:42:15,080 --> 00:42:16,160
Speaker 3: You can't because you're Mike Keith.

825
00:42:16,200 --> 00:42:16,799
Speaker 2: I won't ask.

826
00:42:16,920 --> 00:42:17,359
Speaker 1: I don't know.

827
00:42:18,360 --> 00:42:20,640
Speaker 3: The thing that the thing that I do know is though,

828
00:42:20,800 --> 00:42:24,279
Speaker 3: is you've got a chance to reset it right, and

829
00:42:24,320 --> 00:42:27,359
Speaker 3: see that's different. That is different than having to than

830
00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:31,360
Speaker 3: having to in banking, having to go borrow again to

831
00:42:31,400 --> 00:42:32,960
Speaker 3: pay the loan that you just had.

832
00:42:33,480 --> 00:42:34,080
Speaker 2: It's different.

833
00:42:34,120 --> 00:42:37,279
Speaker 3: Now you can completely, as Rhett said, you can go

834
00:42:37,320 --> 00:42:40,279
Speaker 3: to ground zero and reset it with a strategy.

835
00:42:42,280 --> 00:42:44,720
Speaker 1: You want to add, what would you like to add, Rett,

836
00:42:45,160 --> 00:42:47,000
Speaker 1: I don't have anything else to add. You're good, Well,

837
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:49,080
Speaker 1: then we just said we're just gonna end this red.

838
00:42:49,080 --> 00:42:51,359
Speaker 3: I wish you'd add something again, because I like sitting

839
00:42:51,360 --> 00:42:52,280
Speaker 3: here talking to you guys.

840
00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:52,919
Speaker 1: That's fun.

841
00:42:53,040 --> 00:42:55,440
Speaker 4: Well, I just I'm glad we've had this, this this

842
00:42:55,480 --> 00:42:58,640
Speaker 4: OTP because there's some questions that I think that I

843
00:42:58,680 --> 00:43:00,560
Speaker 4: wanted to know when I thought the OTP. People wanted

844
00:43:00,560 --> 00:43:03,239
Speaker 4: to know about the process of a lot of the

845
00:43:03,239 --> 00:43:08,680
Speaker 4: structural things we're discussing, because man, I you know this stuff.

846
00:43:09,080 --> 00:43:11,120
Speaker 4: I'm not a very smart person at all. It's way

847
00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:13,439
Speaker 4: over my head. I had a guy ask me, he goes,

848
00:43:14,360 --> 00:43:16,600
Speaker 4: so they got, you know, two hundred and something million

849
00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:19,760
Speaker 4: under the cap, whatever we can get like three players.

850
00:43:19,760 --> 00:43:21,480
Speaker 4: It's like no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

851
00:43:21,560 --> 00:43:24,920
Speaker 4: I know it doesn't work like that. Whatever those numbers

852
00:43:24,960 --> 00:43:28,280
Speaker 4: you see reported of four year deal for a player

853
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:31,000
Speaker 4: And I'm like, I don't know how to convey to

854
00:43:31,080 --> 00:43:33,200
Speaker 4: this to you, because again I'm not a very smart person.

855
00:43:33,280 --> 00:43:35,080
Speaker 1: But I was like, that's not how that works.

856
00:43:35,440 --> 00:43:36,680
Speaker 2: First of all, you're a smart person.

857
00:43:37,640 --> 00:43:40,720
Speaker 1: Well, thank you. I was efficient for a compliment. Someone

858
00:43:40,760 --> 00:43:42,640
Speaker 1: finally disagreed with you. That's good. No, you are.

859
00:43:42,719 --> 00:43:46,319
Speaker 3: You are a smart person. But the salary cap you

860
00:43:46,360 --> 00:43:49,759
Speaker 3: could you I've done it. You'd start digging into the

861
00:43:49,800 --> 00:43:51,239
Speaker 3: salary cap and manipulation of.

862
00:43:51,239 --> 00:43:55,040
Speaker 2: A salary cap. It'll cross your eyes.

863
00:43:55,400 --> 00:43:57,839
Speaker 1: But the thing is they don't have to play any

864
00:43:57,960 --> 00:44:00,560
Speaker 1: games with that right now. That was my don't They

865
00:44:00,600 --> 00:44:05,839
Speaker 1: don't need a bunch of trick things are voidable. That's

866
00:44:05,840 --> 00:44:08,120
Speaker 1: the whole thing of the giant math problem. That's the

867
00:44:08,120 --> 00:44:10,600
Speaker 1: whole thing. And they can start and Amy Adam Stronk

868
00:44:10,719 --> 00:44:14,200
Speaker 1: has empowered this group to do it, to do it, yes,

869
00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:19,759
Speaker 1: And that's what I think is the big takeaway from

870
00:44:19,800 --> 00:44:22,399
Speaker 1: where we are right now, as we as we start

871
00:44:22,440 --> 00:44:26,640
Speaker 1: the process. Just like she chose to empower someone else

872
00:44:28,320 --> 00:44:32,240
Speaker 1: to make the decisions last off season about several veterans,

873
00:44:33,040 --> 00:44:37,320
Speaker 1: that's why she changed general managers in December, is because

874
00:44:37,360 --> 00:44:39,640
Speaker 1: she wanted someone else to come in and look at

875
00:44:39,719 --> 00:44:42,520
Speaker 1: it with a new set of eyes and to make

876
00:44:42,560 --> 00:44:44,600
Speaker 1: the decisions that they made. And they, you know, they

877
00:44:44,680 --> 00:44:48,480
Speaker 1: let some guys go who were well thought of players,

878
00:44:48,520 --> 00:44:51,279
Speaker 1: guys who'd done a good job. Had to eat some

879
00:44:51,440 --> 00:44:55,680
Speaker 1: dead money in order to do it. Wasn't easy, which

880
00:44:55,719 --> 00:44:57,440
Speaker 1: is why they weren't going to have a lot of

881
00:44:57,480 --> 00:45:02,480
Speaker 1: extra money to spend last year. And now you're you're

882
00:45:02,520 --> 00:45:07,320
Speaker 1: starting the building back process knowing that you have Jeffrey Simmons,

883
00:45:07,320 --> 00:45:09,560
Speaker 1: and you have Harold Landry and you have some guys

884
00:45:09,719 --> 00:45:12,560
Speaker 1: like that, and then you have this group of rookies

885
00:45:13,160 --> 00:45:15,799
Speaker 1: who played a lot of football who seem to be

886
00:45:15,880 --> 00:45:19,000
Speaker 1: people that can help you with the foundational parts of

887
00:45:19,040 --> 00:45:22,319
Speaker 1: your roster. And now you've got to you know, you've

888
00:45:22,320 --> 00:45:24,680
Speaker 1: got to go after offensive line, You've got to go

889
00:45:24,760 --> 00:45:28,640
Speaker 1: after wide receiver. You've probably got to go after secondary.

890
00:45:28,719 --> 00:45:31,280
Speaker 1: All those things you would think, or those three areas

891
00:45:31,280 --> 00:45:32,760
Speaker 1: you would think factor in right away.

892
00:45:33,200 --> 00:45:36,160
Speaker 2: But you can, but you can't. But you can't.

893
00:45:36,200 --> 00:45:39,200
Speaker 3: And the thing about that is that you're saying is

894
00:45:39,320 --> 00:45:41,319
Speaker 3: that's so true. You don't have to You don't have

895
00:45:41,360 --> 00:45:43,680
Speaker 3: to start making choices either this.

896
00:45:43,680 --> 00:45:44,680
Speaker 2: Or that, either this or that.

897
00:45:44,880 --> 00:45:47,080
Speaker 1: Right. If you do it right, you can spread it

898
00:45:47,080 --> 00:45:48,280
Speaker 1: out and you could have both.

899
00:45:48,600 --> 00:45:49,440
Speaker 2: You could have both.

900
00:45:49,480 --> 00:45:51,960
Speaker 4: And depending on what happens. As you're saying that, I'm

901
00:45:51,960 --> 00:45:54,480
Speaker 4: thinking about who could be here, who cannot be here.

902
00:45:54,719 --> 00:45:56,800
Speaker 4: The median age of this team is going to be

903
00:45:56,880 --> 00:45:57,399
Speaker 4: quite young.

904
00:45:57,480 --> 00:46:00,520
Speaker 1: Yeah. You know who has the highest media age in

905
00:46:00,560 --> 00:46:04,040
Speaker 1: the playoffs, Miami. Yeah.

906
00:46:04,080 --> 00:46:06,799
Speaker 4: A lot of those defensive guys, Yeah, they have some

907
00:46:06,880 --> 00:46:11,280
Speaker 4: age on them. So Monday is the deadline for underclassma

908
00:46:11,320 --> 00:46:14,279
Speaker 4: to enter the twenty twenty four draft, so we'll know

909
00:46:14,280 --> 00:46:19,759
Speaker 4: who the underclassman will be. Senior Bowl Week starts on
