00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 1: of money for the Titans Foundation earlier today. Thanks to

00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 1: our friends at Pinnacle who underwrote the event, and we're

14
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:01,280
Speaker 1: the presenting sponsors, so we're certainly appreciate them. And thanks

15
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 1: to the man who totally stole the show, Dave McInnis

16
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 1: from Titan's Radio. I did not steal the show by Keith.

17
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:08,319
Speaker 1: You were the MC and you're always the star of

18
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:11,679
Speaker 1: the show. But that was a really nice event. No

19
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 1: you did. I mean so, Mike rabels On and we're

20
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:17,840
Speaker 1: going to hear that, and John Robinson's on and we're

21
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:20,680
Speaker 1: going to hear that. And we had Kevin Byard on

22
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:23,759
Speaker 1: and Burke Nyhill, the President was on. But the man

23
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:28,039
Speaker 1: who stole the show as he did the telestrator showing

24
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:33,760
Speaker 1: Bud Dupree, Josh Reynolds, Julio Jones, and Denico Autry Amy.

25
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:38,200
Speaker 1: People were captivated. People were so locked in and Mike,

26
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:41,120
Speaker 1: you do a great job of hosting an event. But

27
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 1: when Coach Mack was talking, nobody was on their phone,

28
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 1: different level, nobody was doing everything. They were all just

29
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 1: totally focused in on what he was showing them, which

30
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 1: says to me that people love football here in Middle

31
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 1: Tennessee and they want to learn more about it. Learning

32
00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 1: some of those intricacies that the average person never gets

33
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 1: to experience that is so valuable. So it was so awesome,

34
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 1: Mac that you were able to do that. Well, it

35
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:08,800
Speaker 1: was It's fun. It is fun for me, and you

36
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:10,960
Speaker 1: know that we all, all of us, we do this

37
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 1: a lot, you know, when we're when we're doing events

38
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 1: and speak to people because you're right in what you say.

39
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 1: They want to know, they'd like to know the details,

40
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 1: they'd like to know something they can take back so

41
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:23,240
Speaker 1: that when they're watching a ball game, they can say, hey,

42
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 1: you know what coach Mike and Mike Keith and Amy

43
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 1: Wills told me this. This is what they are doing,

44
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:31,399
Speaker 1: something as simple as the personnel groups that we all do,

45
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 1: you know, in the places we go. I mean, it

46
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 1: just makes watching the game more fun and more interesting.

47
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 1: And I had a blast today, I really did. That

48
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:41,360
Speaker 1: was very cool, nice set up that you know, that screen,

49
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 1: that telestrator screen was really the first class. I loved it.

50
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 1: I mean that was very, very cool. I would like

51
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:48,359
Speaker 1: to do it again. I think we ought to take

52
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:50,960
Speaker 1: that on the road somewhere and we could do a

53
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,680
Speaker 1: whole game and it'd be fun. All right. So anybody

54
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:56,919
Speaker 1: who's listening and wants to get Coach Mac a birthday present,

55
00:02:57,440 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 1: he would like a telestrat. You'd like a telestrator? Yes?

56
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 1: Why not? I'd also need all those uh technical people

57
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:08,920
Speaker 1: there to run it. Well that group did they fantastic job? Yes,

58
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:13,680
Speaker 1: yes they did. Steve was Zensky, who was your cowboy Gods.

59
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:16,800
Speaker 1: Steve had to run the tape back and forth, and

60
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 1: that was one of the great moments of the entire thing,

61
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 1: is that Coach got to call out Steve in front

62
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 1: of the audience. You actually complimented Steve more than you

63
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:28,080
Speaker 1: harassed him. Well, because he was good. I mean Steve,

64
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:30,360
Speaker 1: he was good. I mean if he did if he

65
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 1: did not do if he did not do something right,

66
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 1: well then then then I was gonna. I was I

67
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 1: was gonna. I was gonna let him know. But and

68
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 1: I told him that before it started. You went over there.

69
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 1: You went over there and introduced him to me, and

70
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 1: I told him, I said, Steve, look, I'm talking football

71
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 1: right now. So if you don't do this right, I'm

72
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 1: gonna call you out. And if you don't believe me,

73
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 1: ask Amy Wills because she's operated a cowboy from me before.

74
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 1: And uh, it's just a coach in me, and I

75
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 1: just want it right when I'm doing it. He was

76
00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 1: fantastic and speaking of calling people out, Mike Vrabel was

77
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:04,840
Speaker 1: on via zoom as he recovers from COVID nineteen at home.

78
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:07,119
Speaker 1: He wanted to be part of this. He was really

79
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 1: a driving force behind making the kickoff luncheon happened. They

80
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 1: went to him and said, what do you think. He said,

81
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:17,479
Speaker 1: this is a great idea, and so he got his

82
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 1: coordinators involved. He had ideas about different things, and he

83
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,360
Speaker 1: was scheduled to be in person and it was going

84
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 1: to be a big wing thing with him, and then

85
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 1: obviously the news on Sunday changed all of that. But

86
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 1: we said, hey, would you feel up to being on

87
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 1: by Zoom? He said yes, And I thought his segment

88
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 1: was great and it looks like he feels a lot better. Right, Well,

89
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 1: I don't know, because he was like very nice to

90
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 1: you at the beginning of the program, which made me

91
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 1: think that maybe he's sicker than we all think, but

92
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 1: may changed. Yeah, but then he changed. By the end

93
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 1: of it, he was back to his old way. So yes,

94
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 1: I think Mike Vrabel is feeling pretty okay. Hey, all right,

95
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 1: so let's take a listen to that from the Titans

96
00:04:56,520 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 1: inaugural kickoff Luncheon presented by Pinnacle. Here's our ch at

97
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:08,760

98
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:14,599
Speaker 1: you see Mike Vrabel at one oh five with chalk talk. Well,

99
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 1: you know there's not gonna be a chalk talk with

100
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 1: Mike Vrabel because Mike, unfortunately was COVID positive over the weekend,

101
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:26,159
Speaker 1: but he wanted to be part of this event, so

102

117
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 1: the highlight videos that had had your voice in it,

118
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 1: and I think they liked it better than what I

119
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 1: can show them. Wow. Thank you. Well, I'm just gonna

121
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 1: you work wise, what have you been able to do

122
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:35,839
Speaker 1: over the last couple of days and what do you

123
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 1: hope to be able to do over the next couple

124
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 1: of days. Well, we're kind of set up like we

125
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,839
Speaker 1: were before. You know, everybody, you know, they were able

126
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 1: to bring me my stuff, computers, iPad, screens, you know,

127
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 1: great capability to connect into our server, to have access

128
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 1: to our film and practice as soon as it's done.

129
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 1: Film from around the league. So trying to stay in

130
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 1: communication the football team. Have had you know, zoom meetings

131
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:06,480
Speaker 1: with them in the morning and then you know, been

132
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 1: able to check in on them as they go off

133
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 1: into their meetings. But I'd prepare the zoom meeting the

134
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 1: same way I would any other meeting to try to

135
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:17,800
Speaker 1: get our message across or my message across to them

136
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 1: for that particular day. Things that we have to work

137
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 1: on from practice from the previous day, the things we

138
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 1: did well, the things we did bad, and the things

139
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 1: that are going to get as beat that we have

140
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 1: to eliminate. Usually is the emphasis of my meetings and

141
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 1: that that's continued, so you know, without me just running

142
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 1: around the halls, I would say everything's been pretty much similar,

143
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 1: all right, So you've been at this for a month now.

144
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 1: The things that have pleased you the most about the

145
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans so far in twenty twenty one camp. Well,

146
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 1: I'm really appreciative of, you know, the way that we've

147
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 1: played these first two games. You know, I felt like,

148
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:02,119
Speaker 1: no matter who's been in there, whether they're new, whether

149
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:06,560
Speaker 1: they're young, that they've tried to approach these games and

150
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 1: play them in a style, in a manner in which

151
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 1: we feel like is to our advantage. And I think

152
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 1: we've We've taken care of the football, We've been efficient

153
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 1: throwing the football, we've been able to run the football,

154
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 1: we've stopped the run, we really played complementary football, We've

155
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 1: gotten turnovers on defense, and I felt like there's an

156
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 1: energy in playing games, and sometimes that's not always the

157
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 1: case when you're talking about preseason games. And so when

158
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 1: I watch our games or I hear people say, hey,

159
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 1: watch the preseason game, and look like guys were flying

160
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:42,360
Speaker 1: around having fun and playing with energy and passion, you

161
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:44,440
Speaker 1: know that that's what we're trying to preach and coach

162
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:47,440
Speaker 1: and with no met with with with whoever is in there.

163
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 1: Several of the top Titans have gotten back to practice

164
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 1: this week. Was that really by design? With the opener

165
00:08:55,600 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 1: eighteen days away against Arizona well as we You know,

166
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 1: everybody has a different plan and they work their way

167
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 1: through it as we get back to return to to

168
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:10,080
Speaker 1: play or individual or jog through, and you know, it

169
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:11,959
Speaker 1: was good to have some of those guys that weren't

170
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 1: weren't out there or hadn't been out there in previous practices.

171
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:19,839
Speaker 1: UM certainly makes looking at the film a little better.

172
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 1: I thought it made COVID go away when I saw

173
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:24,440
Speaker 1: Derek out there and Julio and aj out there and

174
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:28,120
Speaker 1: in the offense together. I think COVID COVID went bye

175
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:33,560
Speaker 1: bye after that. So Arizona is a team that we

176
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:36,679
Speaker 1: have to joke. Mike, you're allowed to chuckle a little bit. Joke.

177
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 1: I love that. Okay, See he's on zoom and he's

178
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:48,359
Speaker 1: still telling me what to do. It's great. Um. Arizona

179
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 1: is a team we have played since twenty seventeen. They're

180
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 1: an unfamiliar opponent. So I just wonder, is it better

181
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 1: for you, the coaching staff, and the players that you

182
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 1: have extra time to prepare hair for a talented yet

183
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 1: unfamiliar opponent in week one? Well, I mean, I think

184
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, we have to focus

185
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:09,840
Speaker 1: on a lot of things that we believe are still

186
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 1: our foundation what we believe in for you know, training

187
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:18,840
Speaker 1: camp is so critical for the conditioning and the callous

188
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 1: for the season to develop technique and fundamentals, and you know,

189
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 1: I think we'll have plenty of time to prepare for them.

190
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 1: You don't want to overanalyze things. You want to make

191
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:31,720
Speaker 1: sure that you know the team is where it needs

192
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 1: to be fundamentally and a conditioning standpoint to hopefully prepare

193
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 1: yourself for those battles of the regular season. But you know,

194
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:44,800
Speaker 1: they are talented, just like a lot of teams in

195
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:48,960
Speaker 1: the National Football League, we aren't very familiar with them.

196
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 1: The quarterback poses just a lot of problems just from

197
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 1: an athletic standpoint and an ability to to extend plays well.

198
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 1: Obviously our familiarity with DeAndre Hopkins and what he's able

199
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:08,080
Speaker 1: to do offensively, they do have a lot of great

200
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:12,560
Speaker 1: weapons Defensively, They're they're gonna be long, they're gonna blitz,

201
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:15,559
Speaker 1: they're gonna pressure. You know, they got big inside linebackers

202
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:19,839
Speaker 1: that are young, obviously edge guys, you know, and then

203
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:21,960
Speaker 1: they're gonna they're gonna bring a lot of different pressures.

204
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:27,560
Speaker 1: Chicago's the final preseason game Saturday night here at Nissan Stadium.

205
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 1: The Bears have announced that they'll start Justin Fields at quarterback,

206
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 1: who was their number one pick and is their quarterback

207
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 1: of the future. Their offensive line is going to play,

208
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 1: but otherwise they're gonna play backups. So have you decided

209
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 1: yet how much your number ones are gonna play Saturday

210
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:46,680
Speaker 1: night here against the Bears. No, I haven't made that decision,

211
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:51,360
Speaker 1: you know, And whatever Matt does, you know that that's

212
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:53,480
Speaker 1: what he's doing with his football team. We'll try to

213
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 1: focus on, you know, what we think is best for

214
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:59,960
Speaker 1: our team. Hopefully, you know, we can get everybody that's

215
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:03,040
Speaker 1: healthy and available, you know, out there for the football

216
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 1: game that we can start tom you know, continue to

217
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:11,719
Speaker 1: build and create that continuity that's so critical, and if

218
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 1: it works out that way, great, and if it doesn't,

219
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:17,080
Speaker 1: then we'll continue to put the guys in there that

220
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 1: that are the next guys in And you've seen that scene,

221
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 1: us do that over and over and guys have responded

222
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:27,320
Speaker 1: and taken advantage of those opportunities. How will Mike Vrabel

223
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:34,440
Speaker 1: handle Saturday nights preseason game? Probably like a fan, I guess,

224
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 1: unless I get cleared, which you know, it's still always

225
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 1: a possibility that that I could have two negative tests

226
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 1: in a forty eight hour period. If that doesn't happen,

227
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 1: you know, I'll be uh. I'll probably put you and

228
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:50,080
Speaker 1: Coach mac on and put the TV on mute and

229
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 1: listen to you guys, no pressure, Well, coach listen. Making

230
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 1: this effort, you were a driving force behind getting the

231
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 1: lunch and started a new tradition for Titans fans. We

232
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:07,199
Speaker 1: thank you for making the effort, and certainly you've been

233
00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 1: the subject of a tremendous amount of thoughts and prayers

234
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:12,360
Speaker 1: by a lot of great Titans fans all over the

235

Speaker 1: I appreciate it. Again. I want to thank everybody for

237
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:20,719
Speaker 1: coming out. I know how much money we raised for

238
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:24,319
Speaker 1: the Titans Charitable Foundation. That's what it's all about. It.

239
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:26,720
Speaker 1: We are blessed and lucky to get to do what

240
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:28,840
Speaker 1: we do, where we get to do it and with

241
00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:31,240
Speaker 1: the people that we get to do it with. There's

242
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:34,400
Speaker 1: so many more people that are less fortunate than us,

243
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:38,000
Speaker 1: so we're very conscious. So that that was reiterated to

244
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 1: the football team again today. Just in recognizing you folks

245
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:47,920

00:13:52,960 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 1: Saturday night. Mike Rabel everybody. And he gave me permission

249
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 1: to laugh. That was good. Um, it's so great. Oh

250
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:13,400
Speaker 1: now you're still here. And then we couldn't turn his

251
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 1: microphone off, which is the best part of the whole.

252
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:19,280
Speaker 1: So I'm going on to something else and he's still talking. Great.

253
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:23,240
Speaker 1: He starts answering me like from above. It's it's like

254
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:26,720
Speaker 1: a nightmare. It was that nightmare. I agree with Amy,

255
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 1: that was That was a high point moment for me. Well,

256
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:32,880
Speaker 1: Coach Max face still Coach Max's favorite part of the

257
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:37,400
Speaker 1: week of the Friday production meet. Oh yes, yours. I'm

258
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 1: gonna get it because so we go in with the

259
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 1: coach and we sit down and we record the stuff

260
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:45,520
Speaker 1: for the pregame interview a little behind the curtain. It's

261
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:48,760
Speaker 1: not live surprised. Uh, that's what you get for being

262
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:52,120
Speaker 1: one of the OT people. Yeah, now you know if

263
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 1: you didn't suspect it. Um. But so we also talk

264
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 1: about some different things and he is really great to

265
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 1: us coach with what the insight he gives and the

266
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:08,680
Speaker 1: helpfulness that he gives us. It's it really is fantastic

267
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 1: to sit down and talk ball with him. But what

268
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 1: you know if you walk in that room is when

269
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 1: you start asking questions to get what you'd like to

270
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 1: get or what you need, you're gonna get it. And

271
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 1: that ends up being me right as it should be

272
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:27,680
Speaker 1: every time. Now that's what I can't wait. I mean,

273
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:29,800
Speaker 1: I go in there and I can see the look

274
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:32,960
Speaker 1: on Rabel's face. And Mike Keith is a consummate professional,

275
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:35,400
Speaker 1: but he knows it's coming. It's coming. He knows it's coming.

276
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 1: And so when we're sitting there and then all of

277
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:39,800
Speaker 1: a sudden he starts asking a question. I go here,

278
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:42,560
Speaker 1: here it comes. We really could make cuts out of it.

279
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 1: I mean, if it was completely uncensored, whatever we were

280
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:47,840
Speaker 1: on it, we were on HBO. We can do it.

281
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 1: Because it is it is, it is, it is something.

282
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:53,840
Speaker 1: I mean, we ever do hard knocks, ye, that should

283
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:55,960
Speaker 1: be part of her. It'd be a huge part of it.

284
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 1: And I've been on hard knocks and it would be

285
00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:00,320
Speaker 1: a great part of it. Because, as I say, I

286
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:03,640
Speaker 1: for the five years that I've done this and have

287
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 1: walked in that room with you, and then especially with him,

288
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 1: with him as the head coach. I absolutely love it.

289
00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 1: I can't wait for the production meetings. I can't wait.

290
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:14,560
Speaker 1: Every time I go out to the field on Friday,

291
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:17,560
Speaker 1: my first question is always to coach Mac and it's always, so,

292
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:20,720
Speaker 1: how is the meeting? And he always goes, oh, it's perfect.

293
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:25,320
Speaker 1: And that means that Mike's going to emerge at some

294
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:28,600
Speaker 1: point with his head hanging. What it's like during the

295
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:31,600
Speaker 1: breaks on the TV show? Yeah, what kind of question

296
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:35,680
Speaker 1: was that? It's great? I live for these moments. It's

297
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 1: so funny. People think, you know, people wonder They said,

298
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 1: do you you know, do the two of you get along?

299
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:44,000
Speaker 1: And I mean I think we do. Oh, you definitely,

300
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:48,080
Speaker 1: But I think but he's I mean, he's a tough one. Now, Mike.

301
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:49,920
Speaker 1: Let me tell you something, though I've been a head

302
00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:52,320
Speaker 1: coach and I've had people in there, if if he

303
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:55,520
Speaker 1: didn't like you, it would be worse. No, is that

304
00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 1: it would be completely bland and vanilla with so he

305
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:02,400
Speaker 1: really he likes you because I mean, you're just one

306
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:05,760
Speaker 1: of the dudes. But he loves Oh, my goodnesses, he

307
00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:08,480
Speaker 1: has some nice ones and and Vrabel. I can imagine

308
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 1: Vrabel as a player. I mean, I bet he was

309
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:13,840
Speaker 1: slinging it back and forth from the time he came

310
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:15,960
Speaker 1: on the field until the time after they beat you,

311
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:17,960
Speaker 1: when he was walking on I love the dude. I

312
00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:20,680
Speaker 1: love Mike Vrabel, and I love his interaction with Mike

313
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:23,840
Speaker 1: Keith production meetings. He's pretty good coach too. The general

314
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:27,400
Speaker 1: manager can be the same way. He can be hardcore

315
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:30,400
Speaker 1: and Amy Wells actually got to experience some of that

316
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:34,760
Speaker 1: as we took Twitter questions from the audience. Can't really

317
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:38,880
Speaker 1: walk around with a microphone, slips a paper, It's kind

318
00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 1: of not not a cool time pretty that. So we

319
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:44,200
Speaker 1: did the Twitter questions which we mentioned on the last

320
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:47,440
Speaker 1: OTP that we were going to do. So Amy got

321
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:50,080
Speaker 1: the five best ones. She got to ask the questions.

322
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:53,399
Speaker 1: And here's Amy with John Robinson from the Kickoff Luncheon

323
00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 1: presented by Pinnacle and Amy gets hit a couple of times.

324
00:17:57,160 --> 00:18:06,480
Speaker 1: Your two Okay. The tough part of Amy's job has

325
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:11,919
Speaker 1: been picking out through hashtag Titans kick Off, the five

326
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:17,199
Speaker 1: best questions for Titans general manager John Robinson. Do we

327
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:20,360
Speaker 1: have John on the line, Let's bring him in John Robinson.

328
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:30,040
Speaker 1: Everybody thanks for joining us. Sir Mike Keith, can you

329
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:32,080
Speaker 1: hear me and we can hear you, Amy Wells, can

330
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:35,600
Speaker 1: hear you too? Say hello to her up standing? Hey, Amy,

331
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:37,480
Speaker 1: how are you hey? I just wanted to take a

332
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:40,400
Speaker 1: quick minute and say thank you to everyone that is there.

333
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:44,119
Speaker 1: Our intent was to be there with you in person,

334
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:48,240
Speaker 1: shaking hands and taking pictures, but out of an abundance

335
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:51,800
Speaker 1: of caution, giving Coach Rabel situation trying to keep you

336
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:55,439
Speaker 1: guys safe and the football team safe, we thought this

337
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 1: was the best mechanism that to visit with you guys.

338
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:01,359
Speaker 1: We'll be there with your lives soon. Thank you for

339
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:04,159
Speaker 1: coming today, Thank you for what you've done for our

340
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:09,480
Speaker 1: football team, our organization, the foundation. And to echo what

341
00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 1: Coach Rabel said yesterday about the folks over in Waverley,

342
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:16,080
Speaker 1: the announcement we made today to try to help provide

343
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:20,159
Speaker 1: some relief to that community over there. That's a strong

344
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:23,360
Speaker 1: community filled with a lot of proud Tennesseeans. I grew

345
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:25,880
Speaker 1: up about two hours west of there, and it's about

346
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:30,000
Speaker 1: an hour from here, so I know that they're going

347
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:33,840
Speaker 1: to keep fighting to get back to some degree of normalcy.

348
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:36,840
Speaker 1: But thank everyone in attendance, and for what you've done

349
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 1: to come to this luncheon today. All right, John, are

350
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:42,800
Speaker 1: you ready for five questions? Far away? All right? Amy,

351
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:45,480
Speaker 1: Welles take it. This is so great. Okay, here's the

352
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:49,639
Speaker 1: first one from hashtag Titans kickoff. How have for Shaun

353
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:53,840
Speaker 1: Evans and Jayon Brown looked in camp so far? Oh?

354
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:56,960
Speaker 1: They looked like two linebackers, Amy, they looked like two linebackers.

355
00:19:57,280 --> 00:20:00,800
Speaker 1: Anything else? Now, you know, I think the one thing

356
00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:02,840
Speaker 1: that though, it's it's great to have that that pair

357
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:08,000
Speaker 1: back together. Um, you know, stylistically they're they're different. Um.

358
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:13,479
Speaker 1: You know, Rashawn is an aggressive downhill run stuffing thumper. Um.

359
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 1: He had a play yesterday where he met the fullback

360
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:18,119
Speaker 1: in the hole and it was to say, it was

361
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:21,240
Speaker 1: a pretty loud collision. And jay On has kind of

362
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:24,359
Speaker 1: prided himself more on, you know, his coverage skills, his

363
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:27,840
Speaker 1: range of speed. UM. But to both of their credit,

364
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:31,680
Speaker 1: they knew that coming into the season. Rashaan has been

365
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 1: better in coverage. UM, he's really focused his attention on that,

366
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:37,520
Speaker 1: and jay On with his run fit. So I'm proud

367
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:39,840
Speaker 1: of the work that those guys have put in, uh

368
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:43,200
Speaker 1: in the offseason. Looking forward to them putting the opposing

369
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:46,000
Speaker 1: offensive ball carry on the ground. Allot this fall? All right,

370
00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:49,240
Speaker 1: here's another one from hashtag Titan's kickoff. This one's about

371
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:52,919
Speaker 1: the secondary. Where has a Moni Hooker improved the most

372
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:55,320
Speaker 1: and what does he give us at safety that maybe

373
00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:58,760
Speaker 1: this team didn't have in twenty twenty. Yeah, that's a

374
00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 1: great question, Amy. I think he's hook was a really

375
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:04,679
Speaker 1: versatile player coming out of Iowa and it kind of

376
00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:07,760
Speaker 1: carved a roll out for himself on special teams and

377
00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:10,320
Speaker 1: was really our third safety last year where he played,

378
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:12,920
Speaker 1: you know, mostly in subdefense in the back part of

379
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:15,240
Speaker 1: the field. I think he's improved his play down around

380
00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:18,400
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage, which is where Kenny mccaro, who

381
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:20,639
Speaker 1: has been with us the last few years has played.

382
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:24,960
Speaker 1: He's been active, he's been more vocal. He's an extremely

383
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 1: smart player. He's helped a lot of these um, you know,

384
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:31,320
Speaker 1: younger dbs, whether it's you know it's Caleb or Molden

385
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:35,120
Speaker 1: or Chris Jackson, Breon Borders, those guys, just making sure

386
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:37,320
Speaker 1: that they're lined up where they need to be with

387
00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:40,760
Speaker 1: the proper leverage, letting them know that he's back there

388
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:42,439
Speaker 1: as at safety to help them when they need it.

389
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:45,240
Speaker 1: Here's a question I really like it says. I keep

390
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:48,840
Speaker 1: hearing Mike and Coach Mack talk about Nick Westbrook Akeena

391
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:51,719
Speaker 1: at wide receiver. Is that just hype or is he

392
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:55,439
Speaker 1: really good? It's probably a little bit of both. You know,

393
00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:58,280
Speaker 1: Coach Mack has been known to belish or the last

394
00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:02,040
Speaker 1: seam sitting there in the front row. But but you know,

395
00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:04,480
Speaker 1: I think Nick, I mean, Nick was an undrafted guy

396
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:07,879
Speaker 1: who came in here last year out of Indiana, and

397
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:10,000
Speaker 1: he was on the practice squad, and you know, he

398
00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:12,879
Speaker 1: kept getting better at practice. And that's what Coach Rabel

399
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:14,480
Speaker 1: and I preach all the time, is you're going to

400
00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:17,919
Speaker 1: earn the opportunities that you have to go out there

401
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:21,679
Speaker 1: on game day. Has presented itself by his special teams

402
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:24,560
Speaker 1: really as a gunner, as a kickoff cover guy, as

403
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:28,240
Speaker 1: a front wall blocker on a kickoff return. He maximized

404
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:32,159
Speaker 1: his opportunities. He kept working offensively, you know, honing his

405
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:35,119
Speaker 1: route craft and being more detailed because he's a bigger,

406
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:39,200
Speaker 1: longer receiver and sometimes it's harder for those guys stature

407
00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:41,720
Speaker 1: wise to maybe get in and out of some of

408
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:44,159
Speaker 1: those breaks when they're running those routes. But he's done

409
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:48,479
Speaker 1: an outstanding job this offseason of getting himself and honing

410
00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:51,200
Speaker 1: those skills, and he's been a trusted target for Tanney

411
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:53,800
Speaker 1: Hill and I'm excited to watch him play. You're the

412
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:56,520
Speaker 1: general manager, so this seems like a good question for you.

413
00:22:56,600 --> 00:23:00,239
Speaker 1: What is the possibility of keeping three quarterbacks and the

414
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:05,000
Speaker 1: Titans active roster? Yeah, Amy, that's I am the GM.

415
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:08,920
Speaker 1: You are correct, that's what you tell me. Um, But

416
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:11,359
Speaker 1: you know it's a coach. Fraybell and I we you know,

417
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:13,159
Speaker 1: we were talking about it last night or we were

418
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:16,119
Speaker 1: texting back and forth about it last night. UM, you know,

419
00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:19,040
Speaker 1: we've got some tough decisions, uh, this coming weekend after

420
00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:21,000
Speaker 1: this game, is we try to trim this roster down

421
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:23,800
Speaker 1: to fifty three. Um. You know, certainly we all know

422
00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 1: what Tanny Hill is and what he's what he's capable

423
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:29,080
Speaker 1: of doing being an outstanding player for us. But it's

424
00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:32,480
Speaker 1: been a battle between between Logan and Matt and UM,

425
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:34,320
Speaker 1: you know what, at the end of the day, we'll

426
00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:36,520
Speaker 1: do what's what's best for the team. At the end

427
00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:38,439
Speaker 1: of the day, we want to try to have the

428
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:40,800
Speaker 1: right fifty three guys on the football team and if

429
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:44,280
Speaker 1: that means keeping you know, three ques on the roster

430
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:46,520
Speaker 1: to try to help us win. Then that's what we'll do,

431
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:49,080
Speaker 1: all right. For our final question, now that we've made

432
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:52,399
Speaker 1: it abundantly clear what your role with your organization is,

433
00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:56,440
Speaker 1: this question is what is the part of being the

434
00:23:56,440 --> 00:24:01,159
Speaker 1: Titans general manager that you enjoy the most? That is

435
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:04,600
Speaker 1: a great question. I think the one thing that UM,

436
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:07,239
Speaker 1: I joke about it, I say, I generally manage a

437
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:11,240
Speaker 1: lot of stuff, um most of the time. But I'm

438
00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:15,680
Speaker 1: extremely blessed. I'm I'm fortunate, uh that Amy took a

439
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:19,200
Speaker 1: chance on me back in in twenty sixteen and brought

440
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:23,080
Speaker 1: me back to the state that that I love. Um.

441
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:26,800
Speaker 1: It's it's I love uh coming in every day. It's

442
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:29,479
Speaker 1: not work to me because I love what I do.

443
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:33,439
Speaker 1: I love being around our scouts, our coaches, our players, UM,

444
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:37,320
Speaker 1: our fans. On game day, my job is to put

445
00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:40,919
Speaker 1: a product on the field with the football team, UM

446
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:43,040
Speaker 1: that our fans can be proud of that we can

447
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:47,720
Speaker 1: entertain our fans UM and and win football games. And

448
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:50,840
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, it's about winning football games. UM.

449
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:53,919
Speaker 1: There's really Uh. The probably the thing I enjoy the

450
00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:58,920
Speaker 1: least is releasing players. That that's those are hard conversations

451
00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:01,800
Speaker 1: to have because these guys worked so hard and the

452
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:05,480
Speaker 1: league only let's us keep so many guys. Um and

453
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:08,600
Speaker 1: and those are those are tough decisions, tough conversations that

454
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:11,160
Speaker 1: I have to have. Um, But that's what I signed

455
00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:13,480
Speaker 1: up for. But I love every day I come in here.

456
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:17,240
Speaker 1: Well done, John Robinson, thanks so much for taking time

00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:29,679
Speaker 1: What did we all learn? John Robinson is the general

460
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:33,000
Speaker 1: many Titans. If you walk away with nothing else, let's

461
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:35,440
Speaker 1: all walk away with But you're just that's the great

462
00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:38,880
Speaker 1: part is you're just reading the question, I'm not here

463
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:41,920
Speaker 1: to hurt anybody, and you get and you get ding. Yeah.

464
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:44,680
Speaker 1: And I knew my number would be called though, because

465
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:47,959
Speaker 1: he wasn't really interacting with you, and you being around

466
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:50,119
Speaker 1: gets everybody all riled up. So I knew I was

467
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:52,160
Speaker 1: probably going to take the hits. I knew it was well.

468
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:55,040
Speaker 1: It was good. It was great. His answers good questions,

469
00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:58,080
Speaker 1: and his answers were good, and the crowd was thrilled

470
00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:01,200
Speaker 1: to have a chance to see him as well. Kevin

471
00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:05,440
Speaker 1: Bayer did a great job, Todd Downing, the offensive coordinator,

472
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:10,360
Speaker 1: Shane Bowen, the defensive coordinator. We mentioned Burke Nyhill. It

473
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:12,399
Speaker 1: was just it's a good show. So thank you to

474
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:15,760
Speaker 1: everybody for being part of the inaugural Titans kickoff lunch.

475
00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:18,480
Speaker 1: Absolutely all right, So what do you expect that a

476
00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:21,680
Speaker 1: preseason game? Number three, Coach mat gonna be very interesting

477
00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:24,199
Speaker 1: with you know, with the developments of what's going on.

478
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:26,960
Speaker 1: The thing I expect, I do expect to see. I

479
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:29,720
Speaker 1: expect to see some more of our frontline players maybe

480
00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:32,400
Speaker 1: play a little bit, just a tad, you know, any

481
00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:34,680
Speaker 1: of you from Texas nor tad is not a lot,

482
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:37,239
Speaker 1: you know, but I expect to see, you know, a

483
00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:39,440
Speaker 1: little bit of that. But the thing that I think

484
00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:41,159
Speaker 1: that they still want to carry over, there's still some

485
00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:44,199
Speaker 1: decisions to be made on this football team because some

486
00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:46,679
Speaker 1: of these down the line players, Mike and Amy and

487
00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:50,600
Speaker 1: for our listeners, they've put themselves in consideration just because

488
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:52,320
Speaker 1: of the way they've been playing. So I expect to

489
00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:55,199
Speaker 1: see those guys get one more chance, you know, the

490
00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:57,240
Speaker 1: down the line guys, get one more chance to show

491
00:26:57,280 --> 00:26:59,560
Speaker 1: what they can do. I was going through the drive

492
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:02,840
Speaker 1: through the other day at a non sponsored business so

493
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:06,160
Speaker 1: I'm not going to mention where and somebody said, hey,

494
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:10,880
Speaker 1: what about Mason Kinsey. Yeah, so it's like, yeah, I mean,

495
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:14,520
Speaker 1: people are people are starting to get you know who

496
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:17,200
Speaker 1: some of these down the line guys are that you mentioned.

497
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:21,320
Speaker 1: And you know McKay sergeant is, I tell you he's

498
00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:24,320
Speaker 1: got something interesting going on right now? Well he doesn't.

499
00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:26,439
Speaker 1: I mean, you just heard from John Robinson. You know,

500
00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:30,600
Speaker 1: we talked about Westbrook, Akina, the thing that he's done.

501
00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:34,200
Speaker 1: McKay sargeant is. You know before after the Tampa thing,

502
00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:36,959
Speaker 1: Before the Tampa game, you asked me what position I

503
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:38,680
Speaker 1: was looking at and I said the running back? Did

504
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:40,680
Speaker 1: I said, because one and two are not going to play,

505
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:43,000
Speaker 1: So two, three, and four move up to one, two

506
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:44,879
Speaker 1: and three and so let's see what they can do.

507
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:47,879
Speaker 1: McKay sargeant is taking full advantage of this, of this

508
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:50,560
Speaker 1: opportunity he has coming in here as a free agent

509
00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:53,919
Speaker 1: from IOWA and Mason Kinsey all that kid does is

510
00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:56,640
Speaker 1: make plays. You know what's really interesting is when you

511
00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:59,440
Speaker 1: talk to the head coach and the general manager about

512
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:04,160
Speaker 1: McKay sergeant, they both start smiling. They both have something

513
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:07,120
Speaker 1: good to say right off the bat, he hits him

514
00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:10,000
Speaker 1: in the heart as a football player because of how

515
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:12,000
Speaker 1: he goes at it. And he hits him in the

516
00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:15,760
Speaker 1: heart too, the way he sees the holes he runs

517
00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:20,000
Speaker 1: to daylight. I don't know if he's on this football

518
00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:22,280
Speaker 1: team or not, but I think he's got a future.

519
00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:24,359
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you what else helps him in the heart.

520
00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:26,680
Speaker 1: The fact that after he scored that touchdown on that

521
00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:28,399
Speaker 1: role boot, he went right out and lined up on

522
00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:31,000
Speaker 1: the kickoff team and ran down hard and ran down hard.

523
00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:32,720
Speaker 1: That's what hits you in the heart as a coach

524
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:34,600
Speaker 1: because you know that's the way he's gonna have to

525
00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:36,760
Speaker 1: make it. It's great to see him out there from

526
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:39,880
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage, but when that's gonna be his

527
00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:42,360
Speaker 1: role and he's more than willing to do it, that's

528
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:45,480
Speaker 1: why they smile. The way that snaps are split up

529
00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:48,000
Speaker 1: in this last preseason game is going to be really

530
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:52,480
Speaker 1: interesting because a lot of times in the fourth preseason game,

531
00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:54,560
Speaker 1: you see a lot of guys that are getting a

532
00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:57,320
Speaker 1: lot of time on the field just because they need

533
00:28:57,360 --> 00:28:59,600
Speaker 1: some tape and they're trying to keep everybody healthy, and

534
00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:01,640
Speaker 1: so the guys that are getting more time on the

535
00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:05,600
Speaker 1: field doesn't necessarily mean they're going to make the ball club. Now,

536
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:09,800
Speaker 1: there are some real spots where guys have places that

537
00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:12,760
Speaker 1: they can earn their keep, I guess, And so it's

538
00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:15,040
Speaker 1: going to be really interesting to see if they keep

539
00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:17,760
Speaker 1: some guys in that really have a shot at playing

540
00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:19,920
Speaker 1: for a little bit longer and we see kind of

541
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:22,520
Speaker 1: a real ball game. Yeah, I think you're absolutely right.

542
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:25,080
Speaker 1: Can we tell a couple of Floyd Reese stories before

543
00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:28,360
Speaker 1: we go absolutely listening? Do you mind? No? I want

544
00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:30,800
Speaker 1: to tell one from nineteen ninety eight because it was

545
00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:34,520
Speaker 1: one of my first year with the team. Plays Chicago Bears,

546
00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:39,080
Speaker 1: October twenty fifth, nineteen ninety eight at Vanderbilt Stadium. Jeff

547
00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:42,760
Speaker 1: Jager Remember Jeff Jager the kicker? Yep, he makes a

548
00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:44,880
Speaker 1: field goal with just over a minute ago. The Bears

549
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:47,760
Speaker 1: take a twenty three twenty lead. The Oilers get the

550
00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:53,360
Speaker 1: ball back and they drive to the forty into They

551
00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:58,600
Speaker 1: drive into Chicago territory. Steve McNair gets sacked on first down.

552
00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:02,720
Speaker 1: Oilers don't have a time. On second down, he has

553
00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:08,600
Speaker 1: to spike the ball. It's third and sixteen. He completes

554
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:16,120
Speaker 1: a pass to Willie Davis okay for thirteen yards to

555
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:18,880
Speaker 1: make it fourth and three at the thirty one yard

556
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:22,880
Speaker 1: line of Chicago. So the Oilers are in field goal range.

557
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:27,040
Speaker 1: Now a long time Oiler fans will remember this. They

558
00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:30,120
Speaker 1: can't find Al del Greco, the kicker, like they don't

559
00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:31,800
Speaker 1: know where he is. They don't know where he is,

560
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:36,640
Speaker 1: and so Craig Hendrick has to run out onto the field.

561
00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:41,280
Speaker 1: Dave Craig came out to hold. The Oilers had too

562
00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:43,080
Speaker 1: many men on the field or weren't said it was

563
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:45,080
Speaker 1: going to be a penalty anyway, and the kit got blocked.

564
00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:47,960
Speaker 1: It was a forty nine yarder which del Greco could

565
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:50,440
Speaker 1: have made. Now here's the behind the scene of this story.

566
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:54,600
Speaker 1: It was not Al del Greco's fault an assistant coach.

567
00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:59,200
Speaker 1: When Willie Davis caught the thirteen yard pass, an assistant

568
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:03,040
Speaker 1: coach told him it was a first down, so he

569
00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:06,800
Speaker 1: went back to the net to keep warming up, thinking

570
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:10,520
Speaker 1: there were there was a fresh set of downs. So

571
00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:14,360
Speaker 1: Al took the fall for this, I mean, And the

572
00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:16,560
Speaker 1: next week he beat the Steelers with a field goal,

573
00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:19,880
Speaker 1: and so all was forgiven at that point, but he

574
00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:23,280
Speaker 1: had had an awful week, which again was not his

575
00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:26,400
Speaker 1: fault because he had been told, hey, you've got a

576
00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:30,560
Speaker 1: first down, you have time. Wow. So it's a big controversy. Well,

577
00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:33,720
Speaker 1: after the game, I'm doing the postgame interviews. It's a

578
00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:37,560
Speaker 1: Vanderbilt stadium. I'm in a side room. Greg Williams is

579
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:39,760
Speaker 1: standing there with me. Now you think the story is

580
00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:42,440
Speaker 1: gonna be about Greg Williams, right, because Greg Williams is

581
00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:45,760
Speaker 1: a complete hothead about a lot of things. So we're

582
00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:50,480
Speaker 1: standing there waiting to go on. There's a screen door

583
00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:54,320
Speaker 1: of some sort in the Vanderbilt locker room. I can't

584
00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:59,240
Speaker 1: really understand why it was there. Okay, when Floyd Reese

585
00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:02,680
Speaker 1: came through, it was not there anymore. He was so

586
00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:07,240
Speaker 1: angry about how the Oilers lost to the Bears. He

587
00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:11,520
Speaker 1: took that screen door. Oh and I mean slammed it

588
00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:13,520
Speaker 1: to where it came off its hinge. I mean it

589
00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:19,640
Speaker 1: went flying everywhere. And I'm standing there with Greg Gregs. Yeah,

590
00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:23,520
Speaker 1: he's mad, and you know it hit me At that

591
00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:26,960
Speaker 1: point I said, this is serious, This is serious. This

592
00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:30,920
Speaker 1: NFL is serious business right here. This was not anything

593
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:34,400
Speaker 1: like I'd ever seen in college anywhere. But the general

594
00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:39,920
Speaker 1: manager storming through, I mean he was fierce and this

595
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:42,320
Speaker 1: was not necessarily going to be a playoff team or

596
00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:45,440
Speaker 1: a super Bowl team. It was an October game, but man,

597
00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:49,400
Speaker 1: it showed how much Floyd Reese wanted to win well.

598
00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:52,560
Speaker 1: And that's a great story. I've been around you a lot,

599
00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:55,680
Speaker 1: I've never heard that story. That's an outstanding story. But

600
00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:57,640
Speaker 1: you know what that that does. That just tells you

601
00:32:57,920 --> 00:33:00,880
Speaker 1: and anybody that knew Floyd Reese. I knew him since

602
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:03,920
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty six when he was a linebacker coach, you know,

603
00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:06,520
Speaker 1: still with the Oilers. He was a linebacker coach. Then

604
00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:09,240
Speaker 1: he was in NFL all the way through. He was

605
00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:12,120
Speaker 1: an NFL guy. He was an NFL guy through and through,

606
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:15,240
Speaker 1: and it was and the oiler slash Titans were very

607
00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:18,680
Speaker 1: very important. I remember when Jeff Fisher brought me in

608
00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:21,320
Speaker 1: here to be hired and Florida as a general manager,

609
00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:22,920
Speaker 1: and I met with Floyd for about an hour, and

610
00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:24,480
Speaker 1: you know, he was talking because I'd been coaching the

611
00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:26,800
Speaker 1: league while and we knew each other, but you could

612
00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:29,480
Speaker 1: just tell just the passion that he had for this team.

613
00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:31,440
Speaker 1: And at that time he had put together a super

614
00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:33,320
Speaker 1: Bowl team. He had and he was trying to hold

615
00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:35,400
Speaker 1: that super Bowl team together and he knew that sooner

616
00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:37,240
Speaker 1: or later he was going to have to pay the

617
00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:39,640
Speaker 1: price for holding that Super Bowl team together. And he's

618
00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:42,120
Speaker 1: very honest with me telling me about that as we

619
00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:44,840
Speaker 1: were going through it. But I love Floyd Reese for

620
00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:47,320
Speaker 1: the reason of you knew exactly where he stood with

621
00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:49,840
Speaker 1: him at all times. And he was a football guy.

622
00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:51,800
Speaker 1: And he was a funny guy too. He was he

623
00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:54,000
Speaker 1: had a great sense of humor. So I've told several

624
00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:57,240
Speaker 1: stories about how he helped us with off the field

625
00:33:57,240 --> 00:34:00,880
Speaker 1: things like with the caravan, and he had gotten to

626
00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:03,520
Speaker 1: the point that he trusted me and that he was

627
00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:06,000
Speaker 1: very similar. We would bring him the list of guys

628
00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:08,279
Speaker 1: that we were going to have for the caravan, and

629
00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:10,279
Speaker 1: he would he would approve it. He would say, yes,

630
00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:12,000
Speaker 1: that's a good one. That's a good one. Hey, what

631
00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:15,160
Speaker 1: about this guy? Very helpful. Jeff Fisher was the same way,

632
00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:18,640
Speaker 1: very helpful. Well, we're a week from going out on

633
00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:21,360
Speaker 1: the caravan and he sees the list of players is

634
00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:26,520
Speaker 1: published in the paper. The last guy he calls me about,

635
00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:30,040
Speaker 1: he goes, uh bo, he called everybody bo bo bo.

636
00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:34,160
Speaker 1: He goes, pretty good chance he's not gonna be with us.

637
00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:37,680
Speaker 1: So he said you might want to make another plan.

638
00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:41,400
Speaker 1: Oh no, he's a pretty good chance. Well he's clueing

639
00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:45,960
Speaker 1: me in big help. So part of my job is

640
00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:50,040
Speaker 1: to decorate, is to get the rap done for the

641
00:34:50,160 --> 00:34:53,200
Speaker 1: vehicle we were going to take out. Right, we would

642
00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:55,400
Speaker 1: always put the players who were going to be on

643
00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:58,760
Speaker 1: the caravan on the side of the vehicle on this rap.

644
00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:04,680
Speaker 1: So I'm thinking about mister last Day, and I said, Okay,

645
00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:07,759
Speaker 1: I can't put him on there, because if he's not

646
00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:10,239
Speaker 1: with the team, we're gonna get made fun of at

647
00:35:10,239 --> 00:35:12,600
Speaker 1: every I mean, it's a it's a conundrum, right, what

648
00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:15,680
Speaker 1: do you do? So I just put a generic shot

649
00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:19,480
Speaker 1: of various players as the last sort of they're not

650
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:21,840
Speaker 1: in any sort of order, so you can't tell the days.

651
00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:27,279
Speaker 1: But this gentleman's picture is not on the RV. And

652
00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:31,280
Speaker 1: so we get to the last day and a staffer

653
00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:34,640
Speaker 1: of ours points out to this player, you're the only

654
00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:37,640
Speaker 1: guy not on the side of the RVY. Don't They

655
00:35:37,640 --> 00:35:42,080
Speaker 1: don't end up cutting him, They end up So this

656
00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:46,600
Speaker 1: person just for whatever reason, points this out. Now, remember

657
00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:52,040
Speaker 1: nobody on our staff, nobody knows why he's not on

658
00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:54,399
Speaker 1: the side of the RV. Because the general manager had

659
00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:57,879
Speaker 1: told me this. I didn't share this with anybody, right,

660
00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:01,800
Speaker 1: I just told you know, I just said, this is

661
00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:03,760
Speaker 1: what we need to do as far as the rap goes.

662
00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:09,440
Speaker 1: So this player, who is very large, is very angry

663
00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:14,000
Speaker 1: and is just standing there outside of an o' Charlie's

664
00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:19,120
Speaker 1: in a city that I won't name, is screaming in

665
00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:24,040
Speaker 1: my face. Seriously, you don't respect what I do. You're

666
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:29,359
Speaker 1: you're a non professional yourself. I mean, and and this man.

667
00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:32,879
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, I'm a diminutive size man. So

668
00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:37,440
Speaker 1: this guy is obviously much larger. And I mean, it's

669
00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:41,640
Speaker 1: a scary moment for the staff because the other particularly

670
00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:45,160
Speaker 1: the younger people, because they've they've never seen anything like that.

671
00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:47,319
Speaker 1: I've been screamed at quite a bit, so you know,

672
00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:52,480
Speaker 1: I know what it goes. So we get back caravan's over.

673
00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:56,480
Speaker 1: I go in and tell Floyd Reese this story. He

674
00:36:56,640 --> 00:36:58,799
Speaker 1: leans back in his chair and starts laughing. He goes,

675
00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:04,359
Speaker 1: that's a tough one. Bow. No sympathy, no no way

676
00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:08,160
Speaker 1: to hang in there, no thanks for keeping the confidence. No.

677
00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:12,160
Speaker 1: So I've always wondered to this day, was he just

678
00:37:12,239 --> 00:37:16,440
Speaker 1: setting me up? I don't think so. But those are

679
00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:19,279
Speaker 1: two amazing. But that was so here. I mean, he

680
00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:23,960
Speaker 1: was laughing all he was just belly laughing. And that's

681
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:27,919
Speaker 1: what I just remember seeing him crack up because when

682
00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:32,839
Speaker 1: he lost it, he laughed like it was nobody's biz. Absolutely, Yeah,

683
00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:35,040
Speaker 1: we lost it. We lost a really good person way

684
00:37:35,080 --> 00:37:37,960
Speaker 1: too soon. Yeah, and here in Nissan Stadium, when his

685
00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:42,439
Speaker 1: name goes up later this year, that will be as

686
00:37:42,520 --> 00:37:45,480
Speaker 1: deserving as anybody whose name has ever gone up here.

687
00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:47,640
Speaker 1: I think all of us that were involved with him

688
00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:50,560
Speaker 1: too will really feel it at that moment. Yep. And

689
00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:53,440
Speaker 1: Jeff Fisher too, Yes, sir, I still say, and I

690
00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:56,040
Speaker 1: said this on our flagship one O four five the Zone.

691
00:37:57,160 --> 00:38:00,480
Speaker 1: Jeff Fisher and Floyd Reese were as important to this

692
00:38:00,760 --> 00:38:03,160
Speaker 1: as we're. Steve mcnairri and Eddie George no doubt as

693
00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:05,960
Speaker 1: a pairing that, no doubt they were. They were the

00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:10,640
Speaker 1: four cornerstones of what it began. Good stuff. Well, thank
