1 00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:13,920 Speaker 1: This is the OTP presented by Farm Bureau Health Plans. 2 00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:16,840 Speaker 1: Healthcare coverage from Farm Bureau Health Plans is like an 3 00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:20,040 Speaker 1: extra set of pads when you need them the most. 4 00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:24,880 Speaker 1: They've been protecting Tennesseeans since nineteen forty seven with Amy Wells. 5 00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:31,120 Speaker 1: I'm Mike Keith Amy. We're playing football in six days. Mike, 6 00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:34,639 Speaker 1: are you so excited? I'm so excited.

With 9 00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:44,879 Speaker 1: respect to Philip Noel and Brad Willis, who are vitally important, Yes, 10 00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:47,080 Speaker 1: and we love them. They're not here right now. Yeah. 11 00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:50,240 Speaker 1: So it's coach, Dave McGinnis and Rhet Brian, the four 12 00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:53,279 Speaker 1: of us together. It's been a while, it has been, 13 00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:55,560 Speaker 1: but it's good to be together now. And that's when 14 00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:58,480 Speaker 1: I know football's real because we're all together and absolutely 15 00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:02,240 Speaker 1: love it. We've all enjoyed watching practice together and now 16 00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:05,160 Speaker 1: to have us in here broadcasting, I mean, it's football season. 17 00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:09,680 Speaker 1: Happy birthday, coach Mac.

I mean, it's very it's very 21 00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:20,559 Speaker 1: kind of you. I mean it's nice. I don't deserve 22 00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:22,440 Speaker 1: any of it. The best thing I found out was 23 00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:25,600 Speaker 1: that Mike, your daughter Abbey or birthdays today too. Her 24 00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:28,240 Speaker 1: birthday is today as well. Two really cool people born 25 00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:30,399 Speaker 1: on August seventh. I like that. I will always say 26 00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:33,360 Speaker 1: the thing that I remember their live things. Obviously remember 27 00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:37,440 Speaker 1: about her being born, but she was born on a Sunday, 28 00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:41,560 Speaker 1: August seventh. And then it was four days later that 29 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:44,759 Speaker 1: I watched Peyton Manning practice for the first time as 30 00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:47,520 Speaker 1: a freshman at the University of Tennessee. So there was 31 00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:49,760 Speaker 1: a lot that went on that week. There's a lot 32 00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:53,960 Speaker 1: that happens significant personally and professionally in that way. And 33 00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:57,200 Speaker 1: tonight Peyton Manning goes into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. 34 00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:02,120 Speaker 1: It's it's a small circle, isn't it. Yeah, it really is. 35 00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:05,600 Speaker 1: To have had a chance to have covered his recruitment 36 00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:08,600 Speaker 1: and then to have watched him play college ball, and 37 00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:11,280 Speaker 1: then obviously we competed against him for several years. He 38 00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:13,919 Speaker 1: was the enemy. It's good, you know, it's it's good 39 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:15,520 Speaker 1: to see this happen. For him, and I know a 40 00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:19,400 Speaker 1: lot of people really all over the country, but in 41 00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:23,000 Speaker 1: particular Tennessee in the South, are proud of him. And 42 00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:25,400 Speaker 1: what a choice to have Archie Manning as the one 43 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:27,480 Speaker 1: to induct him. Oh, I mean, you know, the whole 44 00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:30,440 Speaker 1: Manning family. I mean that is football personified. And you 45 00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:32,760 Speaker 1: know what was very neat to me, and watching the 46 00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:35,680 Speaker 1: first the Hall of Fame game was just you could 47 00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:39,120 Speaker 1: tell the respect that like Troy Aikman had when Peyton 48 00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:40,560 Speaker 1: was up there in the booth with him. I mean, 49 00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:45,160 Speaker 1: he's Peyton Manning is personifies what a professional is, and 50 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:49,639 Speaker 1: he also personifies what is really good and neat about 51 00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:51,880 Speaker 1: the National Football League. He's a true Hall of Famer. 52 00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:56,000 Speaker 1: And to have his dad and Peyton Manning could have 53 00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,239 Speaker 1: had any number of people, but to have his dad, 54 00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:01,680 Speaker 1: that family is so deeply connected with football. But it's 55 00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:06,519 Speaker 1: all they're also really cool people. You wonder too, when 56 00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:09,280 Speaker 1: I think about Archie and how talented Archie was, and 57 00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:12,480 Speaker 1: Archie was a really good pro quarterback for the Saints 58 00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:15,160 Speaker 1: and later for the Oilers, what if he had been 59 00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:18,480 Speaker 1: drafted by a good team. What if he had gone 60 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:22,800 Speaker 1: to the Dallas Cowboys or the Pittsburgh Steelers or a 61 00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:25,720 Speaker 1: franchise like that. Rat. I think there's a pretty good 62 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,760 Speaker 1: chance he's a Hall of Famer. He's probably a world 63 00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:31,440 Speaker 1: champion and a Hall of Famer that they usually joke 64 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:34,400 Speaker 1: go hand in hand. And then while we're talking about 65 00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:37,480 Speaker 1: the lineage of the Manning family, we think about the 66 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:41,320 Speaker 1: most anticipated recruit, probably since Peyton and Eli, a young 67 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:44,200 Speaker 1: arch Manning coming up through the ranks. And that is 68 00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,720 Speaker 1: a name that everyone in the world will be watching 69 00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:49,800 Speaker 1: here very very soon. Yeah, it really is. And you 70 00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:52,040 Speaker 1: know a little bit, you know, to back to Archie. 71 00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:53,480 Speaker 1: I mean a very good friend of mine who I 72 00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:57,600 Speaker 1: coached with in Chicago, Danny Abramowitz, who was Archie Manning's 73 00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:00,200 Speaker 1: main target, you know, all of those years down there. 74 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:03,560 Speaker 1: He Danny Lady to Xavier, you he's in the Saints 75 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:06,160 Speaker 1: Hall of Fame. We've talked many at times, and then 76 00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:10,320 Speaker 1: I've talked with, you know, Archie Manning with Danny Abramowitz, 77 00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:14,320 Speaker 1: and Danny said that, first of all, he said Archie 78 00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:18,520 Speaker 1: took a tremendous pounding down there because they just were 79 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:20,679 Speaker 1: not good on the last but he said he always 80 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:25,200 Speaker 1: stepped up and answered the bell. And Danny Abramowitz can't 81 00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 1: say enough about he and Archie were in business together 82 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:31,120 Speaker 1: after they got out a lot of really cool stories. 83 00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:33,080 Speaker 1: But you're right, Mike Keith. If he would have been 84 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,760 Speaker 1: on a team, that would have been established. I mean, 85 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:39,240 Speaker 1: he's a Hall of Famer. Thoughts, Does Abby know that 86 00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:43,360 Speaker 1: you equate her birth to watching Peyton Manning practice as 87 00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:45,839 Speaker 1: a freshman for the first time. But you didn't watch 88 00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:47,880 Speaker 1: him win a Super Bowl. You watched him practice. I'm 89 00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:52,200 Speaker 1: gonna answer this for Mike. She knows her dad. Yes, yes, 90 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:56,360 Speaker 1: she understands. That's how that gets the correlation. But I 91 00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:59,760 Speaker 1: just think about that that wait, because his first practice 92 00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:03,440 Speaker 1: he was terrible. He couldn't grip football embarrassing. It was embarrassing, 93 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:05,720 Speaker 1: and we all thought, oh, they just took him because 94 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:07,640 Speaker 1: he's Archie Manning's kid, you know, when we saw it, 95 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:10,680 Speaker 1: because we'd never seen him in person. And by the 96 00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:15,000 Speaker 1: afternoon practice he had it figured out. Amazing. I mean, 97 00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:19,880 Speaker 1: he had he had figured out something in between the 98 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:22,600 Speaker 1: morning in the afternoon where he had it straight. I 99 00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:25,680 Speaker 1: like it because six degrees of separation, Abby and I 100 00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:29,120 Speaker 1: are connected to Peyton Manning. You are about that. The 101 00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:34,440 Speaker 1: thing about Peyton Manning too in a Tiger Woods style fashion. 102 00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:38,880 Speaker 1: He'd prepared for these moments his whole life. His father 103 00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:43,320 Speaker 1: is really what you know, sumitted all of that. He 104 00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:45,360 Speaker 1: was a little kid running around in New Orleans while 105 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:47,560 Speaker 1: his dad was a quarterback of the Saints. And you 106 00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:51,479 Speaker 1: know just how Earl Woods did with young Eldric. I 107 00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:54,760 Speaker 1: mean they were procured and and you know, brought along 108 00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:58,000 Speaker 1: the whole way for a night like tonight to him 109 00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:00,520 Speaker 1: get to get a gold jacket. The different it's with 110 00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:05,320 Speaker 1: them and Tiger, however, with the Manning boys is they 111 00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:09,520 Speaker 1: were not pushed into football. They were not forced into it. 112 00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:12,600 Speaker 1: They did it because they loved it. Older brother Cooper 113 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:16,400 Speaker 1: was a wide receiver and Peyton wanted to be a 114 00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:20,160 Speaker 1: quarterback because Archie was a quarterback, because he so admired 115 00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:23,760 Speaker 1: his dad. His dad is still his idol period. The 116 00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:27,120 Speaker 1: other thing, Amy, what about Tom Brady choosing to be 117 00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:30,400 Speaker 1: there for Peyton tonight. I think that's really nice. That's 118 00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:34,960 Speaker 1: like a magic bird thing or you know when I mean, 119 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:39,880 Speaker 1: that's an amazing statement that Tom Brady would choose to 120 00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:43,000 Speaker 1: be there. It shows the level of respect that Peyton 121 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:46,279 Speaker 1: Manning has league wide, right, right, And I think that 122 00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:49,320 Speaker 1: there are two greats that, yes, that we watched them 123 00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:52,279 Speaker 1: battle so many times and compete off the field, and 124 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:55,479 Speaker 1: there's all those comparisons. But at the end of the day, 125 00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:59,120 Speaker 1: game recognizes the game, you know. And so it's so 126 00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:02,720 Speaker 1: cool that he's making that effort and is going to 127 00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:05,880 Speaker 1: be there. And I have a feeling that in a 128 00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:08,680 Speaker 1: couple of years the favor will be returned. I think 129 00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:11,600 Speaker 1: that's right. Yeah, when in twelve years when Tom Brady 130 00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:15,080 Speaker 1: goes in, because because he's probably gonna play another seven, Right, 131 00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:19,880 Speaker 1: played longer than George Blanda, it's forty four. He's right there. 132 00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:22,200 Speaker 1: I mean George Planet was about forty six. Forty seven 133 00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:27,520 Speaker 1: really forty four, you know, he's played forty five postseason games. 134 00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:33,960 Speaker 1: Think about that, he's played three seasons of postseason Wow. 135 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:36,640 Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. Tom Brady makes me not want 136 00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:40,720 Speaker 1: to eat bread. I like eating bread, but like that diet, 137 00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:43,520 Speaker 1: it kind of works. Hey, here's the other thing too, 138 00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:46,000 Speaker 1: I was thinking about two with Tom Brady being there tonight. 139 00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:50,920 Speaker 1: You're right, game recognizes game. Tom Brady knows that if 140 00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:54,120 Speaker 1: he isn't in the right situation, and that if Peyton 141 00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:58,880 Speaker 1: has a little better situation. Maybe Tommy doesn't have seven rings. Oh, 142 00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:01,280 Speaker 1: there's no question. I mean, that's that's where we're at. Really, 143 00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:08,560 Speaker 1: Peyton never had Tom Brady's defense ever, and so if 144 00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:11,560 Speaker 1: you flip that around, if Tom's having to play against 145 00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:16,080 Speaker 1: that defense and Peyton is the Patriots quarterback, I think 146 00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:19,080 Speaker 1: it's a complete yelip yep. Let me take it back 147 00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:20,960 Speaker 1: to football a little bit. You know, having been a 148 00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:23,320 Speaker 1: defensive coach for quite a while in this league and 149 00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:26,560 Speaker 1: gone against Peyton Manning in the Division twice a year, 150 00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:32,959 Speaker 1: and then outside the division, there was no more deadly 151 00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:37,280 Speaker 1: opponent as a quarterback to adjust a defense too. We 152 00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:40,600 Speaker 1: actually had one defensive playbook when I was with the 153 00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,960 Speaker 1: Titans and Jim Schwartz was a coordinator for Peyton Manning, 154 00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:47,520 Speaker 1: separate from anything else that we did. And so that 155 00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:53,920 Speaker 1: week the players new, this is Indie and Peyton Manning week. 156 00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:57,640 Speaker 1: Take your playbook that you had done, and bring out 157 00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:01,360 Speaker 1: the indie playbook that the Jim sports had started putting together, 158 00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:04,240 Speaker 1: and then that we had put together because you had 159 00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:07,600 Speaker 1: to do things so differently against him. We even at 160 00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:12,120 Speaker 1: one time, guys and I've gone against all pretty good quarterbacks. Marino, 161 00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:15,320 Speaker 1: you know, I mean all you know, take it, just 162 00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:18,520 Speaker 1: take it all through Montana, just start naming them. Since 163 00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:23,760 Speaker 1: nineteen eighty six, I've you know, I've defended him. What 164 00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:26,679 Speaker 1: Peyton Manning made you do was he made you think 165 00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:29,880 Speaker 1: so far ahead and your defense you could not even 166 00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:33,760 Speaker 1: twitch and show him a different look or he would 167 00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:37,439 Speaker 1: dice you up, dissect you. This guy to me and 168 00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:40,120 Speaker 1: the point of what you guys are saying, if he 169 00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:44,760 Speaker 1: would have had a little more defensive support, really unstoppable. 170 00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:47,839 Speaker 1: They probably wins seven or eight himself. I think so, 171 00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:52,240 Speaker 1: because it was just defending him was just I mean, 172 00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:54,720 Speaker 1: you were on the edge of your seat every time, 173 00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:57,600 Speaker 1: and you knew that as soon as he saw a flaw, 174 00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:01,719 Speaker 1: it was he was gonna he was gonna dice you up. 175 00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:05,720 Speaker 1: Tremendous competitor. But more than that, he was he prepared 176 00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,719 Speaker 1: so well it was it was impressive. Is there anybody 177 00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:12,880 Speaker 1: else in your experience that has the preparation and the 178 00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:15,720 Speaker 1: acumen for the game of a Peyton Manning. I think 179 00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:20,120 Speaker 1: Montana did. Within that system with Bill Walsh, they understood Peyton, 180 00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:22,880 Speaker 1: understood so well what they were doing. And I'd say 181 00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:24,439 Speaker 1: a big part of Peyton too, and he would, I 182 00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:26,120 Speaker 1: would say he would say this. I'm sure he will 183 00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:29,760 Speaker 1: mention him in his in his speech. Was was Howard 184 00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:32,600 Speaker 1: Mudd the offensive line coach? Because they did they did 185 00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:34,800 Speaker 1: a lot of that stuff together. But I think just 186 00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:38,679 Speaker 1: you know, knowing going against that group at the forty 187 00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:41,000 Speaker 1: nine ers during those years, because the Bears in the 188 00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:43,080 Speaker 1: forty nine ers were big rivals for whoever was going 189 00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:46,840 Speaker 1: to advance, Uh, that that Bill Walsh system Montana knew 190 00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:49,800 Speaker 1: it so perfectly that you couldn't line up wrong against 191 00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:52,600 Speaker 1: them either. You said something really important there about Howard 192 00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:55,600 Speaker 1: Mudd the offensive line coach. But let's talk about Tom Moore. Oh, 193 00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:59,480 Speaker 1: let's talk about Clyde Christians, and let's talk about that 194 00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:02,720 Speaker 1: that whole group of coaches and Amy. You were around 195 00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:04,640 Speaker 1: some of those guys in the year that you spent 196 00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:09,800 Speaker 1: in Indianapolis. But here, here's the thing that's great coaching 197 00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:13,920 Speaker 1: to say, this is our quarterback, this is what he does, 198 00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:19,160 Speaker 1: he can handle it. So let's do this and let's 199 00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:21,560 Speaker 1: just like you're saying, there was a separate defense with 200 00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:24,959 Speaker 1: Jim Schwartz for Peyton Manning. That's good coaching and sent 201 00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:28,240 Speaker 1: us in. By God, we're playing our system, and we're 202 00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:31,160 Speaker 1: just gonna do what we do. That's not how you 203 00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:33,920 Speaker 1: win in pro ball. How you win is say, you know, 204 00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:36,760 Speaker 1: we got a quarterback who's really smart, so we'll just 205 00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:39,360 Speaker 1: do what he wants to do. And it was almost 206 00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:42,679 Speaker 1: like they were collaborators more than they were his coaches. 207 00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:46,439 Speaker 1: They think that's a great point, Mike, And collaboration is 208 00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:49,000 Speaker 1: a great, great word for it, because when you you 209 00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:51,200 Speaker 1: know Howard Mudd got dressed his soul when you when 210 00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:53,080 Speaker 1: you talk to him, and I've you know, he and 211 00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:55,960 Speaker 1: he and Jim Washbur are very close friends. So I've 212 00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,520 Speaker 1: set many a night on Washburn's back porch with those 213 00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:01,480 Speaker 1: guys talking about it. And here Howard Mudd talk about 214 00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:05,760 Speaker 1: Peyton Manning. It was a collaboration. We're lucky we've gotten 215 00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:08,439 Speaker 1: to watch a lot of great ones. Wow, and we're 216 00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:13,520 Speaker 1: lucky he's retired. Yeah, I say this, you know, with 217 00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:16,319 Speaker 1: all due respect, I didn't feel so lucky those thirty 218 00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:18,959 Speaker 1: one years. I was defending those people, no, because they 219 00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:21,200 Speaker 1: were trying to take my lunch money. I mean, you know, 220 00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:24,880 Speaker 1: you want to talk about someone lucky. Clyde Christensen, who 221 00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:27,760 Speaker 1: was Peyton Manning's coach forever went from Peyton Manning to 222 00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:30,840 Speaker 1: Andrew Luck. Andrew Luck decides to hang it out in 223 00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:34,720 Speaker 1: the middle of a game and then they it's the 224 00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:36,520 Speaker 1: middle of the game. The middle of the game more 225 00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:38,760 Speaker 1: or less, that's when we found out about it. So 226 00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:41,200 Speaker 1: it feels like it. But so then he ends up 227 00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:43,400 Speaker 1: in Tampa with Tom Brady and now the man's guy's 228 00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:46,560 Speaker 1: super Bowl ring with Tom Brady. Like, that's pretty great. 229 00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:49,480 Speaker 1: He's riding pretty well. Yeah, he's doing okay when it 230 00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:53,080 Speaker 1: comes to having some quarterbacks to work with, that's pretty outstanding. 231 00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:55,800 Speaker 1: Speaking of coaches, let's move it back to the Titans. 232 00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:58,640 Speaker 1: Since we have Dave McGinnis here with Amy Wells and 233 00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:01,400 Speaker 1: with Rett Brian, let's hit the coach right here on 234 00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:03,719 Speaker 1: his birthday and get him to give us some thoughts 235 00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:07,320 Speaker 1: on what he's seen through the first almost two weeks 236 00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:10,280 Speaker 1: of training camp. Dave McGinnis, what jumps out to you, well, 237 00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:12,000 Speaker 1: what jumps out to me is that you can tell 238 00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:13,920 Speaker 1: that Mike Rabel and this staff have had a very 239 00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:17,920 Speaker 1: definite plan for this training camp because they've got players 240 00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:21,800 Speaker 1: in this training camp, both new and that have been here, 241 00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:24,439 Speaker 1: that are in different stages of their careers and so 242 00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:26,600 Speaker 1: when you've got players that are in different stages of 243 00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:28,719 Speaker 1: their careers, and I think they know they have a 244 00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:31,120 Speaker 1: good football team, but you have to be able to 245 00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:34,360 Speaker 1: manage and handle those players differently. So what has happened 246 00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:36,760 Speaker 1: is is there are practices where and they haven't had 247 00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:39,480 Speaker 1: a practice yet where everybody has been together because of 248 00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:43,040 Speaker 1: load management days, and also because the offensive line has 249 00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:45,760 Speaker 1: been hit with some injuries early and they loaded up 250 00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:48,160 Speaker 1: on the offensive line to be able because they're trying 251 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:50,520 Speaker 1: to the offensive line is something that they need to 252 00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:54,440 Speaker 1: get coalesced together. But what I have seen that has 253 00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:57,120 Speaker 1: jumped out at me, Mike is the young players, and 254 00:13:57,160 --> 00:13:59,000 Speaker 1: I say young players not only the rookies, but the 255 00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:01,640 Speaker 1: second year player ye that are now getting the full 256 00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:05,400 Speaker 1: benefit of an off season and then a training camp. 257 00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:09,400 Speaker 1: You can see definitive improvement in those guys just in 258 00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:11,880 Speaker 1: the way they not only carry themselves, but in the 259 00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:15,679 Speaker 1: way they are executing, especially during team periods. What is 260 00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:19,000 Speaker 1: going on, I would echo what coach mckis saying in 261 00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:23,440 Speaker 1: the fact that you knew as good as Mike Rabel 262 00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:26,960 Speaker 1: and his staff are at altered schedules and these things. 263 00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:30,040 Speaker 1: Knowing that there's just three preseason games. There's seventeen regular 264 00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:32,520 Speaker 1: season games, and you have players not only an age, 265 00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:36,080 Speaker 1: but coming off of injury that you would see snap counts, 266 00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:38,600 Speaker 1: load management, whatever you want to call it, and so 267 00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:40,920 Speaker 1: you're gonna see this rotation. Yep. Time for him to 268 00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:42,800 Speaker 1: go into building are and he's coming back out today 269 00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:45,000 Speaker 1: and you know those kinds of things. And you're right. 270 00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:48,880 Speaker 1: These second year guys, which the Titans really need to 271 00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:52,760 Speaker 1: step forward, look like they're prepared to do so. Christian 272 00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:57,200 Speaker 1: Fulton really good camp for him so far. Darren ton Evans, 273 00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:00,960 Speaker 1: same thing. Tier Tart is making that step forward. And 274 00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:04,080 Speaker 1: then talking to Terrell Williams, the defensive line coach, there 275 00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:06,960 Speaker 1: he goes the thing about Tierre Tart, he didn't even 276 00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:08,680 Speaker 1: know what he doesn't know yet. There's so much I 277 00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:11,280 Speaker 1: still have to teach him and that he has to learn. 278 00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:13,760 Speaker 1: But the fact that he has had a full offseason 279 00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:18,000 Speaker 1: in person, has gone through the regiments with Frank Perino, 280 00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:20,640 Speaker 1: the strength and conditioning coach, dropped four percent of his 281 00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:24,960 Speaker 1: body fat in this thing. He's committed now he's ready 282 00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:27,480 Speaker 1: to try to take that next step forward. You guys 283 00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:29,640 Speaker 1: are talking about the first the rookies and the second 284 00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:32,560 Speaker 1: year players. What about these third year players who all 285 00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:35,680 Speaker 1: of the sudden are the adults on the field, and 286 00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:38,880 Speaker 1: they kind of didn't have that year two experience, so 287 00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:41,960 Speaker 1: they kind of went from rookies to vets very quickly. 288 00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:45,440 Speaker 1: Guys like the Amani Hookers, the Nate Davis is, I mean, 289 00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:48,520 Speaker 1: aj Brown of course is a machine, Kari blassing game 290 00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:51,360 Speaker 1: even is in that group of guys who are really 291 00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:54,400 Speaker 1: stepping into these leadership roles. Jeffrey Simmons is another one 292 00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:57,680 Speaker 1: who's in his third year but is really able to 293 00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:01,120 Speaker 1: assume a bigger role within the group. And also we 294 00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:03,720 Speaker 1: see them all helping the younger guys kind of find 295 00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:06,440 Speaker 1: their footing and find their way. So it's awesome to 296 00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:10,120 Speaker 1: have guys that are still young and fresh and exuberant, 297 00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:13,800 Speaker 1: but also are able to assume more leadership roles in 298 00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:17,560 Speaker 1: all aspects of this roster for the group. Am I 299 00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:21,240 Speaker 1: wrong in saying a Monty Hooker is the starting safety 300 00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:24,240 Speaker 1: beside Kevin Byerd, Well, there's no doubt, and I mean 301 00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:27,680 Speaker 1: I've not that I've all of us really seriously, when 302 00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:30,480 Speaker 1: we were doing we everybody knows while in depth we 303 00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:34,640 Speaker 1: do the draft with Titans Radio and we were all 304 00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:37,760 Speaker 1: a money Hooker fans just watching tape before he came 305 00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:40,480 Speaker 1: into the fold because of what he had done at Iowa. 306 00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:44,280 Speaker 1: So absolutely, and and Amy Wells hit it right on 307 00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:46,800 Speaker 1: the head when she said, and a money Hooker's a 308 00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:49,800 Speaker 1: great a great example, not only football wise, but what 309 00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:53,480 Speaker 1: he did in the offseason to reconfigure his body, because 310 00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:55,920 Speaker 1: that's what you have to learn to be a professional too. 311 00:16:55,960 --> 00:17:01,680 Speaker 1: And so one of the longest tenured coaches in college football, 312 00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:05,560 Speaker 1: Kirk Ference, we talked to him that day after a 313 00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:09,240 Speaker 1: Moni Hooker was drafted. He spoke so eloquently and so 314 00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:12,600 Speaker 1: highly of an Amani Hooker and what he could become. 315 00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:15,080 Speaker 1: And again, that is a guy taking a step forward. 316 00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:18,440 Speaker 1: But that Iowa program has turned out so many pro 317 00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:21,879 Speaker 1: ready players. The Titans have one of those. I agree 318 00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:25,240 Speaker 1: with what everyone else has said. I think it's no 319 00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:28,720 Speaker 1: question that Amani is in that position and it's his 320 00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:30,679 Speaker 1: position to lose, and he's not going to lose it. 321 00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:33,960 Speaker 1: He's that starter. I have been impressed with the inside linebackers. 322 00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:38,400 Speaker 1: Jayon Brown Rashaun Evans looked like Jayon Brown and Rashaan Evans. 323 00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:42,480 Speaker 1: But David Long is having a nice camp and Monty 324 00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:45,040 Speaker 1: Rice could the third round pick out of Georgia can play. 325 00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:49,440 Speaker 1: B J. Bellow, a free agent signee, has been good. 326 00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:52,200 Speaker 1: I don't know that there are a lot of questions 327 00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:54,399 Speaker 1: there right now. Coach, Okay, let me just let me 328 00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:56,400 Speaker 1: say this, and okay, here we go to talk about 329 00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:58,439 Speaker 1: what we see it practice. But I can say this 330 00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:00,840 Speaker 1: because they trust all of us to you know, in 331 00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:04,600 Speaker 1: today's practice when they were running that they ran a play, 332 00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:08,679 Speaker 1: a one back power play and David Long was in 333 00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:11,000 Speaker 1: the game, which means you're pulling the backside guard blocking 334 00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:13,359 Speaker 1: back with the center and they're bringing And I said 335 00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:15,520 Speaker 1: it as soon as in Red nine. Amy always watched 336 00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:18,760 Speaker 1: from the end zone and we were at the filming 337 00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:21,160 Speaker 1: boat so that we can watch the film. We're it's 338 00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:23,800 Speaker 1: like we're watching. We're watching the film every practice so 339 00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:27,320 Speaker 1: we can see really what's happening. And I said it immediately. 340 00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:31,400 Speaker 1: David Long stepped up to that guard and dropped a 341 00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:36,239 Speaker 1: soup bone on him so fast, and I went, you know, 342 00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:38,240 Speaker 1: and it's hard to get me at practice to go wow. 343 00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:41,720 Speaker 1: And I went and Amy and Red Knoll, I went, wow, 344 00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:44,399 Speaker 1: did you see that? And so I agree with you 345 00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:46,320 Speaker 1: one hundred percent. And I think I tell you something 346 00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:48,920 Speaker 1: else that I believe and nobody has told me this. 347 00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:53,840 Speaker 1: I just having watched linebackers for all of my career, 348 00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:56,600 Speaker 1: John Brown being in there, it makes a big difference 349 00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:00,919 Speaker 1: because sometimes just all the pieces and the gears just 350 00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:03,360 Speaker 1: match up pretty good. But I agree with you, Mike, 351 00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:06,359 Speaker 1: and one of the places where you can immediately see 352 00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:10,320 Speaker 1: the difference with Jayon Brown back in there. First of all, 353 00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:13,480 Speaker 1: the confidence level overall, you can see it take a 354 00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:15,480 Speaker 1: notch north. But who you can really see it with 355 00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:17,880 Speaker 1: is the guy that has to have a super important 356 00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:20,159 Speaker 1: year in a contract year, and that's where Shawn Evans. 357 00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:23,639 Speaker 1: He makes Rashaan Evans better. Coach Max said it best 358 00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:26,679 Speaker 1: as we've been watching these two weeks of practice. When 359 00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:29,840 Speaker 1: you know Jayon went out and and Rashawn had to 360 00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:32,000 Speaker 1: put that green dot on his helmet, he was out 361 00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:35,000 Speaker 1: of his element. He's not comfortable with that. Those two 362 00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:38,480 Speaker 1: are tight there. Those are tight guys on and off 363 00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:41,400 Speaker 1: the field. They are compadres and you can see they 364 00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:44,240 Speaker 1: are so excited to be back out there together doing 365 00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:46,919 Speaker 1: what they do best. I think Jayon and Rashawn that 366 00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:50,440 Speaker 1: duo makes everybody on the field better. There's a bit 367 00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:55,520 Speaker 1: of consistency there. They are a foundational piece together because 368 00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:59,440 Speaker 1: their skill sets compliments so well. And Ratt, you made 369 00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:02,080 Speaker 1: a good point about that green dot, and we didn't 370 00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:05,800 Speaker 1: really talk about it a lot, but being the guy 371 00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:08,960 Speaker 1: that's getting the voice in your head, you're the one 372 00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:12,080 Speaker 1: that's orchestrating this defense and making sure that everyone's in 373 00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:15,879 Speaker 1: their spot. There's a level of inconsistency that's a little 374 00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:18,960 Speaker 1: jarring when it's multiple people doing it and a lot 375 00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:22,359 Speaker 1: of people who aren't necessarily comfortable with that position. We 376 00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:24,680 Speaker 1: saw that green dot kind of bounce from guy to 377 00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:28,680 Speaker 1: guy to guy last season, and it just throws everything 378 00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:32,119 Speaker 1: off a little bit. And I think Jayon, that's something 379 00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:34,960 Speaker 1: that he told me first scared the Bejesus out of him. 380 00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:37,159 Speaker 1: He did not like having that in the beginning, but 381 00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:39,399 Speaker 1: he got really comfortable with it and he learned how 382 00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:42,720 Speaker 1: to do it. And so coming back into that role 383 00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:46,680 Speaker 1: being able to orchestrate that entire defense and make sure 384 00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:48,840 Speaker 1: that everything is going the way that's supposed to go, 385 00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:52,120 Speaker 1: and then he is confident in doing his job. There's 386 00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:54,520 Speaker 1: a level of confidence that this defense has now that 387 00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:57,960 Speaker 1: we didn't see, especially in the second half of last season. Yeah, 388 00:20:58,080 --> 00:20:59,960 Speaker 1: let me let's not get it twisted about the green 389 00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:04,040 Speaker 1: It's not that Rashaan can't do it. It's just that 390 00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:06,639 Speaker 1: when it was put on him that quick, it's something 391 00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:08,320 Speaker 1: really to absorb. And I tell you, one of the 392 00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:11,560 Speaker 1: greatest linebackers that the Titans have ever had that I 393 00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:13,680 Speaker 1: had the privilege of coaching for a lot of years, 394 00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:16,320 Speaker 1: Keith Bullock. When we first put the green dot on 395 00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:19,560 Speaker 1: Keith Bullock, you know, he would he would say, there's 396 00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:21,520 Speaker 1: too much in my head. And Keith Bullock was a 397 00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:24,080 Speaker 1: great player, and he understood exactly what we were. So 398 00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:27,359 Speaker 1: it's something that you have to get acclimated to and 399 00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:31,920 Speaker 1: get adjusted to. And so during the preseason and also 400 00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:34,480 Speaker 1: during camp, if you're the guy that has it, you 401 00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:37,439 Speaker 1: get a chance. But to be thrust into it in 402 00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:40,000 Speaker 1: the middle of a season, when you've got other guys 403 00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:44,000 Speaker 1: also going uh, you know down around you, it's another 404 00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:47,760 Speaker 1: level of responsibility that you just had not prepared for. 405 00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:50,320 Speaker 1: Rashaan could do it if he had a whole year. 406 00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:54,520 Speaker 1: But what we're all saying is this, it was much smoother. 407 00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:58,800 Speaker 1: It was much smoother. And on defense, if you make 408 00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:03,520 Speaker 1: a this is true. If you make a slow correct 409 00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:07,240 Speaker 1: decision as a defensive player in the National Football League, 410 00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:12,120 Speaker 1: a slow correct decision, you're wrong, and so it's speed 411 00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:14,439 Speaker 1: that you have to play with. And to mention, the 412 00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:18,120 Speaker 1: green dot means that you have the speaker in your 413 00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:22,440 Speaker 1: helmet and that you are getting the defensive signals. In essence, 414 00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:26,000 Speaker 1: you at that point are the quarterback on defense. And 415 00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:30,320 Speaker 1: so that's what Jayon does well. He is challenged by 416 00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:33,679 Speaker 1: Mike Vrabel more than probably any other player on the team, 417 00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:37,919 Speaker 1: very directly, and Mike puts that pressure on him. I 418 00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:42,400 Speaker 1: believe coach Mac very intentionally in order to make him 419 00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:45,040 Speaker 1: be able to handle anything. Let me say this, and 420 00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:47,440 Speaker 1: I'm glad you brought that up. And that's that's very 421 00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:50,200 Speaker 1: observant Mike. For this reason. We were watching the other 422 00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:54,280 Speaker 1: day an individual two on two red zone drill with 423 00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:57,920 Speaker 1: a defensive backs and the receivers and I and all 424 00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:00,359 Speaker 1: of us were standing there and you could see it, 425 00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:03,680 Speaker 1: and I said, and we all, I said, they are 426 00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:07,320 Speaker 1: putting these defensive backs in the low red zone. Then 427 00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:09,919 Speaker 1: the offense knows they're playing man to man. They are 428 00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:13,320 Speaker 1: running the hardest to man route combinations that are man 429 00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:16,560 Speaker 1: to man beaters against them for this reason, not to 430 00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:20,320 Speaker 1: make them look bad, but to let them experience and 431 00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:22,240 Speaker 1: play with their heels on the edge of the cliff 432 00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:26,359 Speaker 1: the hardest that they could get. Just do it, do it, 433 00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:28,280 Speaker 1: do it, do it. And then once you get into 434 00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:30,040 Speaker 1: the ball game where you've got middle of field help 435 00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:32,600 Speaker 1: and you've got everything else, then it becomes easier. And 436 00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:36,920 Speaker 1: that's your point. Mike Rabel is going to press these players, 437 00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:39,600 Speaker 1: and that's what you have to do because basically, in 438 00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:42,960 Speaker 1: the National Football League, you can be as good a 439 00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:48,000 Speaker 1: driving range player as anybody, but until you press them 440 00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:51,240 Speaker 1: and put them in in stress situations, and it's for 441 00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:53,560 Speaker 1: real when you're playing, you really don't know how they're 442 00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:56,000 Speaker 1: going to react. And that's exactly what he's doing in 443 00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:58,080 Speaker 1: a lot of his drills, and that's what he's doing 444 00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:01,280 Speaker 1: with Jon. I want to talk about quarterback because the 445 00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:05,000 Speaker 1: Titans made up move at quarterback this week. They said 446 00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:09,760 Speaker 1: goodbye to Deshaun Kaiser very quickly. Rhett we went into 447 00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:12,800 Speaker 1: camp feeling like he was competing with Logan Woodside for 448 00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:16,880 Speaker 1: the backup job, and he's out very fast. And yet 449 00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:19,720 Speaker 1: here's Matt Barkley, a thirty almost thirty one year old 450 00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:23,640 Speaker 1: quarterback who started seven games in the NFL brought in 451 00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:27,080 Speaker 1: to compete A How surprised were you at the move 452 00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:31,640 Speaker 1: this quickly and be thoughts on Barkley in limited work 453 00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:34,600 Speaker 1: that you've seen so far. I'm not surprised by the 454 00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:39,160 Speaker 1: move and the reason I say that Deshaun Kaiser had 455 00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:43,560 Speaker 1: his moments in camp, but there weren't enough good moments 456 00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:46,160 Speaker 1: in camp, so it does not surprise me that they 457 00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:49,600 Speaker 1: did make this move. And I don't have enough of 458 00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:52,640 Speaker 1: a sample size with Matt Barkley to make any evaluation yet. 459 00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:56,159 Speaker 1: I would like to see more in just six days 460 00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:58,520 Speaker 1: in Atlanta when he gets a chance to get some 461 00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:01,280 Speaker 1: more snaps in that type of situation. But I mean, 462 00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:03,399 Speaker 1: he does have experience. We know that he came in 463 00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:06,680 Speaker 1: a mop up role that weird Tuesday night in Nashville 464 00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:09,000 Speaker 1: when he was with the Buffalo Bills last year. But 465 00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:12,000 Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to kind of seeing where his wheels 466 00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:15,000 Speaker 1: are turning this coming week in Atlanta. I think that 467 00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:18,600 Speaker 1: the addition of Matt Barkley is interesting because this continues 468 00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:22,080 Speaker 1: to be a battle for the number two quarterback of 469 00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:26,280 Speaker 1: guy who's super super knowledgeable of the scheme and the 470 00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:29,520 Speaker 1: system and is very intelligent and knows what to do 471 00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:34,240 Speaker 1: and guys who have experienced in game situations. That seems 472 00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:36,960 Speaker 1: to be what this is coming down to. And it's 473 00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:39,560 Speaker 1: going to be interesting to see if all things are 474 00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:43,560 Speaker 1: equal athletically on the field, which Tourette's point, we haven't 475 00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:45,600 Speaker 1: really seen enough of Matt Barkley to really know what 476 00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:48,760 Speaker 1: he can or can't do. But if all things are equal, 477 00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:51,320 Speaker 1: which one of those things wins out? Is it the 478 00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:54,960 Speaker 1: experience or is it the knowledge of the system and 479 00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:59,120 Speaker 1: really feeling comfortable from a mental standpoint. I've veted Matt 480 00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:01,560 Speaker 1: Barkley coming out. I've watched him, I've watched him play, 481 00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:05,240 Speaker 1: and he's he's a legitimate backup in this league and 482 00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:07,200 Speaker 1: he's been to a lot of teams and a lot 483 00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:10,640 Speaker 1: of times. Backup quarterbacks guys are a lot like punters 484 00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:13,600 Speaker 1: and kickers. It doesn't mean they're not good. It just 485 00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:15,840 Speaker 1: means that the place that they are and if they're 486 00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:17,679 Speaker 1: not going to be a starter, they rotate, you know, 487 00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:20,720 Speaker 1: quite a bit. He's a He's very capable. There's some 488 00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:22,800 Speaker 1: things that he can do better than others. But what 489 00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:25,560 Speaker 1: he always was, what he was at USC was a 490 00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:29,720 Speaker 1: really smart quarterback. He understands, he could he could understand, 491 00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:32,399 Speaker 1: he could diagnose very quickly. The ball came out of 492 00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:35,840 Speaker 1: his hands very quickly. And so to me and and 493 00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:39,200 Speaker 1: Amy brings up a great point. They like Logan Woodside. 494 00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:42,200 Speaker 1: They like him because he's and he has been, he 495 00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:45,920 Speaker 1: has he has survived a lot of people that they've 496 00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:49,880 Speaker 1: that they've brought in, but they're still John Robinson. We've 497 00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:52,360 Speaker 1: all talked about this before when we've been together and 498 00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:56,240 Speaker 1: also on John Robinson is constantly chumming the bottom of 499 00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:58,919 Speaker 1: this roster constantly, And that's what you have to do. 500 00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:00,760 Speaker 1: Turn to the folks who've been in the game since 501 00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:04,400 Speaker 1: nineteen forty seven. Farm Bureau Health Plans offers the great 502 00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:08,119 Speaker 1: healthcare coverage you need with a price tag you can afford. 503 00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:15,359 Speaker 1: How about a game, man, This game crazy, That's what 504 00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:20,280 Speaker 1: I call it. I'm all crazy, all four crazy. Okay, 505 00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:23,800 Speaker 1: game that Mike keys up. So this is the order 506 00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:27,200 Speaker 1: we're going to go in for this question, Okay, coach 507 00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:31,119 Speaker 1: Mack Amy Rhett, all right, here's the question. Crazy. Derrick 508 00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:36,400 Speaker 1: Henry could pass Chris Johnson for third on the Titans 509 00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:41,560 Speaker 1: all time rushing list if he gains two thousand one 510 00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:46,480 Speaker 1: hundred thirty six yards this season. That of course would 511 00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:51,520 Speaker 1: be an NFL record. Crazy. That's crazy because you've got 512 00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:54,800 Speaker 1: so many weapons now on offense, they've only got one ball. 513 00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:57,760 Speaker 1: They've only got one ball. They're gonna spread it out. 514 00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:01,760 Speaker 1: Derrick Henry will eventually make break a lot of records. 515 00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:05,560 Speaker 1: That's kind of crazy. I agree. Remember seventeen games though, 516 00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:09,040 Speaker 1: that's kind of crazy. Okay, Nope, still crazy. I agree 517 00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:11,000 Speaker 1: with Mac. There's too many other people that you want 518 00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:13,880 Speaker 1: to see get the ball. And also there are still 519 00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:16,159 Speaker 1: some questions about the offensive line and what that's going 520 00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:18,359 Speaker 1: to look like. You've got to have a pretty solid, 521 00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:20,920 Speaker 1: consistent offensive line to pull something like that off. I 522 00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:23,560 Speaker 1: say it's not that crazy because he's not gonna see 523 00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:25,840 Speaker 1: as many eight and nine man fronts because of the 524 00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:27,920 Speaker 1: weapons that are spread out all of the place. Now, 525 00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:31,919 Speaker 1: that's taking into consideration that there is a healthy, upright 526 00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:35,320 Speaker 1: and ready to go Julio Jones, AJ Brown and Ferkster 527 00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:37,560 Speaker 1: and whoever else in the mix. I think there is 528 00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:39,959 Speaker 1: a chance. I think it might be a little crazy, 529 00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:43,880 Speaker 1: but it's not crazy crazy. Wait a minute, yes, the 530 00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:46,480 Speaker 1: rules of this there are rules to this game. There 531 00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:50,640 Speaker 1: were crazy or not crazy. Yeah, it's not little crazy. Okay, 532 00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:53,160 Speaker 1: it's not crazy about that? Thank you? Well, there were 533 00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:57,920 Speaker 1: no rules. Question goes first. Ryan Tannehill completed sixty five 534 00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:00,560 Speaker 1: and a half percent of his passages in twenty twenty. 535 00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:04,680 Speaker 1: He will complete a higher percentage of passes in twenty 536 00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:10,240 Speaker 1: twenty one. Crazy, not crazy. I don't think that's crazy. 537 00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:13,120 Speaker 1: I think he can do that. Not crazy, He absolutely 538 00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:15,800 Speaker 1: can do that with the weapons that are right there 539 00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:20,800 Speaker 1: on that field. Not crazy, just because of Therette's point 540 00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:23,320 Speaker 1: in the first one, people are goat to make a choice. 541 00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:26,400 Speaker 1: And if you do have an eight man front, or 542 00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:28,960 Speaker 1: if you even have a semi seven and a half 543 00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:32,680 Speaker 1: man front, and you get enough singled up outside and 544 00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:35,800 Speaker 1: also singled up on folkser, there's gonna be a lot 545 00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:38,680 Speaker 1: of passes completed. Mike is having so much fun right now. 546 00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:42,200 Speaker 1: Third question. Loves this game. First. Third question, This is 547 00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:47,960 Speaker 1: my very favorite question so far in Crazy. Yes A J. 548 00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:52,960 Speaker 1: Brown and or Julio Jones will break Charlie hen Against 549 00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:57,920 Speaker 1: nineteen sixty four record of one hundred and one receptions 550 00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:02,040 Speaker 1: in a season. Crazy crazy is it? And or is it? 551 00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:05,760 Speaker 1: Or it could be either one? Yeah, he's either either 552 00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:11,160 Speaker 1: player or both. No, it's max turn. Crazy won't happen. 553 00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:14,080 Speaker 1: You have too many weapons. I'm gonna go, not crazy? Wow, 554 00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:17,160 Speaker 1: which one do you think it's gonna go over? One? Oh? One? 555 00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:19,640 Speaker 1: I don't think it'll be both. I think it'll be 556 00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:21,640 Speaker 1: one of them, and I think it'll be a j 557 00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:26,000 Speaker 1: all right, Coach Mack, Yes, sir. Question four. I love 558 00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:29,320 Speaker 1: this question too. Mike is so fired up. This is great. 559 00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:32,080 Speaker 1: Really well, he's living his best life. He's always wanted 560 00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:35,760 Speaker 1: to host a game show. Brett Kern will punt less 561 00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:43,440 Speaker 1: than fifty times in twenty twenty one. Crazy, not crazy? 562 00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:46,600 Speaker 1: So you think he could punt less than three times again? Absolutely? Do? 563 00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:49,280 Speaker 1: I think that's kind of crazy. You think he'll punt 564 00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:51,240 Speaker 1: more than three times again? I think he will punt 565 00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:54,640 Speaker 1: more than three times again. Okay. If these weapons work 566 00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:58,520 Speaker 1: out like I think they will, it is absolutely not crazy. 567 00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:01,960 Speaker 1: And I say something else. I know I'm talking out 568 00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:04,840 Speaker 1: a turn, but one of the reasons I say that 569 00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:08,600 Speaker 1: is if this defense is better on third down and 570 00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:12,680 Speaker 1: they get more chances on offense. Not crazy, not crazy? 571 00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:17,720 Speaker 1: All right, Amy wells. Question five? Remember this game is crazy. 572 00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:24,640 Speaker 1: It's a question mark. Okay, I'm about to go crazy. 573 00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:30,840 Speaker 1: Derreck Henry leads the team in scoring for the third 574 00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:33,480 Speaker 1: year in a row. Now, I'm gonna say something here. 575 00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:36,280 Speaker 1: Derrick Henry has led the team in scoring each of 576 00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:40,440 Speaker 1: the last two years. Before Derrick Henry did it, the 577 00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:44,600 Speaker 1: last non kicker that did it was Lorenzo White in 578 00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:49,240 Speaker 1: nineteen ninety and before him, it was Earl Campbell. So 579 00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:53,960 Speaker 1: normally a kicker leads the team in scoring. The Titans 580 00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:56,560 Speaker 1: running back has led the team in scoring. So I'm 581 00:31:56,560 --> 00:31:59,320 Speaker 1: gonna read it one more time. Derrick Henry leads the 582 00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:03,560 Speaker 1: team in scoring for the third year in a row. Crazy. 583 00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:06,840 Speaker 1: I think that's a little crazy again because of all 584 00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:08,840 Speaker 1: the weapons. I think it will be spread out more. 585 00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:12,920 Speaker 1: The scoring. Not crazy at all. Because you think he 586 00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:16,000 Speaker 1: can score twenty touchdown He absolutely can, and I hope 587 00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:17,920 Speaker 1: that the kicking situation is better. But yes, he can 588 00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:22,040 Speaker 1: score twenty touchdowns. Not crazy. And here's the reason this 589 00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:24,080 Speaker 1: guy is not just a lot of times when you're 590 00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:28,120 Speaker 1: running backs lead, it's because you're getting the ball in 591 00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:30,040 Speaker 1: the low red zone a lot and you're running it in. 592 00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:32,840 Speaker 1: This dude's a home run hitter. I mean, how many 593 00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:34,880 Speaker 1: ninety nine yard runs have you called for me him 594 00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:39,200 Speaker 1: or how many fifty twelve, how many fifty plus? This 595 00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:42,200 Speaker 1: dude is a home run threat too, which is why 596 00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:45,280 Speaker 1: he is so unique. But you don't think that all 597 00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:48,240 Speaker 1: of the receivers that we have and all of the 598 00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:51,920 Speaker 1: everything else is going to perhaps take away from some 599 00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:55,480 Speaker 1: of the opportunities or the necessity for him to be 600 00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:58,200 Speaker 1: running the ball in so much. First of all, Amy, 601 00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:02,760 Speaker 1: this is not an argumentative. I wasn't na I'm gonna 602 00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:05,320 Speaker 1: come in right behind Coach Mac with this. He said 603 00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:07,760 Speaker 1: lead the team, and he said lead the team in scoring, 604 00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:11,000 Speaker 1: and Coach Max right, Derek Henry has six runs of 605 00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:14,520 Speaker 1: forty plus yards in his career already. He has two 606 00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:18,000 Speaker 1: receptions of over forty yards and his career already, and 607 00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:20,120 Speaker 1: one of those a touchdown. That one of those two. 608 00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:22,440 Speaker 1: So you add that together with all the one in 609 00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:26,600 Speaker 1: two yard runs, right, which I mean he could score 610 00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:29,600 Speaker 1: twenty times. I mean he could score twenty five touchdowns 611 00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:33,080 Speaker 1: in seventeen games. It's also a question aimed more toward 612 00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:38,320 Speaker 1: the kicking situation as well, right right, And think about 613 00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:40,840 Speaker 1: this the final answer, who was who was what I said, 614 00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:43,160 Speaker 1: not crazy? I said not crazy? I said it was 615 00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:44,760 Speaker 1: a little crazy, a little crazy, and hey, I'm just 616 00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:48,520 Speaker 1: thinking about a few I thought we weren't arguing. We're 617 00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:50,520 Speaker 1: not arguing. I would never argue with the rules of 618 00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:52,640 Speaker 1: This is why you want to listen to Titan's Radio 619 00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:57,560 Speaker 1: five Central on Friday from Mercedes Benz Stadium. Wasn't there 620 00:33:57,720 --> 00:33:59,560 Speaker 1: a season a few years ago when you were on 621 00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:03,160 Speaker 1: the staff, Coach Mac, when Lyndale White ran for fifteen touchdowns? Right? 622 00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:05,920 Speaker 1: He did, So there's there's case in point right there. 623 00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:07,920 Speaker 1: But he still didn't lead the team and score it. 624 00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:11,520 Speaker 1: No he didn't. No, No. The only thing I was 625 00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:14,000 Speaker 1: saying to you, and you know the massive perspect I 626 00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:16,680 Speaker 1: have for you is earlier we told rit he couldn't 627 00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:20,120 Speaker 1: say little crazy. He can't. I said it's I said 628 00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:22,360 Speaker 1: it was wrong. I don't remember if that was crazy 629 00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:25,080 Speaker 1: or not crazy, but I said it was wrong. See, 630 00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:27,800 Speaker 1: this game is getting bogged down now. Final question Red 631 00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:32,320 Speaker 1: Bryan first, then Coach Mac, then Amy Ryan Tannehill breaks 632 00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:38,879 Speaker 1: George Blandis single season touchdown pass record a thirty six crazy, 633 00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:42,600 Speaker 1: not crazy at all, because he's knocking on the door 634 00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:47,160 Speaker 1: that anyway, not crazy. We're gonna see that. Not crazy. 635 00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:49,879 Speaker 1: I agree with them. He had thirty three last year. Yeah, 636 00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:53,000 Speaker 1: exactly so, and he has one more game, one more 637 00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:55,239 Speaker 1: game and a lot more people. All right, So, as 638 00:34:55,239 --> 00:34:57,560 Speaker 1: we wrap up this addition to the OTP, let's go 639 00:34:57,600 --> 00:35:00,800 Speaker 1: to the birthday Boy to talk about what go on next. 640 00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:06,080 Speaker 1: What is this week like for the Titans leading into 641 00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:09,880 Speaker 1: Friday night's preseason game in Atlanta, And again, in all seriousness, 642 00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:13,240 Speaker 1: Titans Radio on the air, Amy Wells, Rehet Brian coach 643 00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:17,399 Speaker 1: Mac Titans Countdown, five pm Central on Friday. First of all, 644 00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:20,719 Speaker 1: they won't game plan this game. Let's get that out 645 00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:22,279 Speaker 1: of the way. They won't game playing this game, so 646 00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:25,080 Speaker 1: they really won't start working. They won't work hardly on 647 00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:29,439 Speaker 1: anything Atlanta based, you know. Leading up to this the 648 00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:32,719 Speaker 1: thing that the coaches will start to do, and John 649 00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:36,040 Speaker 1: Robinson's personnel staff, they will start to look at the 650 00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:38,279 Speaker 1: roster and see who they're going to play and how 651 00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:40,840 Speaker 1: much they are going to play them. That is the 652 00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:44,719 Speaker 1: big decisions that coaching staffs make for the first preseason game. 653 00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:48,160 Speaker 1: You have to have a plan each individual position. Coach 654 00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:51,759 Speaker 1: will be asked, give me your rotation, give me your 655 00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:55,640 Speaker 1: rotation with these people, not from your roster, with these 656 00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:59,080 Speaker 1: people that will be available. That's what's going on right now. Well, 657 00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:02,640 Speaker 1: Arthur Smith, who was part of our family for a decade, 658 00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:05,920 Speaker 1: will he play this one a little more differently because 659 00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:09,440 Speaker 1: A it's his first game, B it's at home and 660 00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:13,520 Speaker 1: see it's against his former family. Yes he will, Yes, 661 00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:15,239 Speaker 1: he will, for you know, for this reason he's a 662 00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:18,400 Speaker 1: first time head coach, and from whatever you say and 663 00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:21,200 Speaker 1: knowing what went on down there, I mean he wants to. 664 00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:25,439 Speaker 1: He he would like to have some success because even 665 00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:27,839 Speaker 1: though it's a preseason game, as I've been a first 666 00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:30,960 Speaker 1: time head coach, when undefeated in a preseason one, that 667 00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:33,640 Speaker 1: doesn't mean you're gonna do anything, but it validates a 668 00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:36,480 Speaker 1: little bit to your team that you've taken over, that 669 00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:38,520 Speaker 1: we've got some good things going on. Not that he's 670 00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:40,799 Speaker 1: going to game plan this, sure, he doesn't have to. 671 00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:43,719 Speaker 1: He kind of knows what's going on here. So my 672 00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:46,279 Speaker 1: answer to that's yes. So he'll set a tone. He'll 673 00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:49,239 Speaker 1: set a tone. And will the Titans play it a 674 00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:53,200 Speaker 1: little differently in your mind knowing that Arthur probably will 675 00:36:53,520 --> 00:36:56,680 Speaker 1: be using it a little differently than most teams would, Well, 676 00:36:56,719 --> 00:36:59,399 Speaker 1: they'll they'll go into Mike Vrabel has his team ready 677 00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:02,000 Speaker 1: to play on my what because here's here's here's something 678 00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:05,440 Speaker 1: that travels in the National Football League physical toughness. So 679 00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:07,279 Speaker 1: regardless of who's out there, this is going to be 680 00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:10,279 Speaker 1: a physical game. From the Titans aspect of it. They 681 00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:13,200 Speaker 1: will not game Planet. But when you put that aspect 682 00:37:13,239 --> 00:37:16,160 Speaker 1: on it, believe me, Mike Vrabel will tell this football team, 683 00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:18,680 Speaker 1: whoever is going to be playing, you're going to play 684 00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:21,799 Speaker 1: Titans football out here. We may not be game planning this, 685 00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:25,560 Speaker 1: we may not be getting ready to play exactly the 686 00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:28,440 Speaker 1: Atlanta football team, but you are going to play our 687 00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:31,640 Speaker 1: brand of football out there. So that's the mindset they 688 00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:34,400 Speaker 1: will go into. Nobody's gonna game plan this. Arthur won't 689 00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:38,359 Speaker 1: game Planet. So to me, Mike Vrabel's football teams are 690 00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:42,600 Speaker 1: always going to carry a nasty edge into a game, 691 00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:46,480 Speaker 1: regardless of preseason or regular season. Amy Wells, You're in 692 00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:48,960 Speaker 1: line at Kroger, You're in the checkout line, you're trying 693 00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:53,840 Speaker 1: to move through, and somebody asks you tell me something 694 00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:56,520 Speaker 1: about training camp so far that I don't know that 695 00:37:56,640 --> 00:37:59,640 Speaker 1: I need to know that. You know, because you're there 696 00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:01,880 Speaker 1: and I'm not there. What do you tell him? This 697 00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:05,160 Speaker 1: team's ready to go I would answer, get ready to 698 00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:09,279 Speaker 1: see Darrenson Evans seriously contribute to this offense. I would 699 00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:11,560 Speaker 1: say just keep your powder dry because what you're gonna 700 00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:14,120 Speaker 1: see is not everything that's going to be out there, 701 00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:16,840 Speaker 1: but you are going to see. As Rich said and 702 00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:20,120 Speaker 1: as Amy said, there are some younger players that will 703 00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:22,239 Speaker 1: get a lot of time in this game that you're 704 00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:24,800 Speaker 1: going to see during the regular season. I would say 705 00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:29,480 Speaker 1: circle number eighty eight Marcus Johnson on offense, six one 706 00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:33,319 Speaker 1: two oh seven, fifth year wide receiver from Texas. He 707 00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:37,240 Speaker 1: has been one of the most intriguing players in practice. 708 00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:40,840 Speaker 1: Can he carry it over? Is he just practice field 709 00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:43,919 Speaker 1: Joe or is he somebody that can carry it over? 710 00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:48,560 Speaker 1: And I would also say circle ninety one Laurel Murchison 711 00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:52,320 Speaker 1: six two two ninety seven, second year man NC State 712 00:38:52,719 --> 00:38:55,120 Speaker 1: and number ninety three Tier tart six two three or 713 00:38:55,120 --> 00:38:58,640 Speaker 1: four second year man Florida International. Watch those two players 714 00:38:58,640 --> 00:39:02,200 Speaker 1: in the defensive line to see if they can carry 715 00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:06,400 Speaker 1: it over, and then I would get my groceries double sacked. Always, 716 00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:11,120 Speaker 1: But because because I gave such good information, do you 717 00:39:11,120 --> 00:39:12,960 Speaker 1: have any coupons to turn? Do I have any coupon? 718 00:39:13,080 --> 00:39:16,000 Speaker 1: Do you have your Kroger plus card. Mister keys always 719 00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:18,319 Speaker 1: always well and if you don't, you can always put 720 00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:20,680 Speaker 1: on your phone numbers the alternate n That's exactly right. 721 00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:24,239 Speaker 1: And if you have the app in the sponsors, and 722 00:39:24,280 --> 00:39:25,640 Speaker 1: if you have the app, you can work in the 723 00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:30,200 Speaker 1: digital coupons and save even more crazy.

Amy hates games. 726 00:39:35,760 --> 00:39:38,080 Speaker 1: I hate games, and so part of why you were 727 00:39:38,160 --> 00:39:40,120 Speaker 1: so happy is because we were playing a game, and 728 00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:43,160 Speaker 1: I read Coach loves games.
