A couple of months ago, 14 00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:56,920 Speaker 2: I took one of those forty eight packs out. I 15 00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:58,480 Speaker 2: think I'm nine to five. 16 00:00:58,720 --> 00:00:59,440 Speaker 1: Are you serious? 17 00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:00,880 Speaker 2: Help in the house. 18 00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:04,639 Speaker 1: The thing about it Snickers is you never go wrong 19 00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:09,120 Speaker 1: with the Snickers.

I've got diver 26 00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:27,000 Speaker 2: ticu losis and then I'm not beating peanuts, but I 27 00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:31,800 Speaker 2: always turn to chew it up real good. I feel 28 00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:32,840 Speaker 2: like it's going to be okay. 29 00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:36,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, so you contractually you only agreed to appear once 30 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:40,880 Speaker 1: a year on the OT or is it twice a year. 31 00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:43,959 Speaker 2: I'm good to go, and I know you've got have 32 00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:46,679 Speaker 2: some great guests on here.

So these are going to 35 00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:55,560 Speaker 1: be ten questions for Jim Wyatt that prepare you for 36 00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:58,120 Speaker 1: training camp. The OT people want to be ready, so 37 00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:02,960 Speaker 1: these questions are very specifif towards training camp. I'll take 38 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:07,000 Speaker 1: the first one. Jim has been doing the position previews 39 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:11,320 Speaker 1: at Tennessee Titans dot com. So as you've run through those, 40 00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:16,120 Speaker 1: what is the Titans best position group as they enter 41 00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:17,400 Speaker 1: training camp next week? 42 00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:19,560 Speaker 2: It's funny I prepared. I appreciate you get it giving 43 00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:21,600 Speaker 2: me a heads up on what these questions were gonna be. 44 00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:22,680 Speaker 1: Oh, thanks for telling. 45 00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:27,760 Speaker 2: So I got fired that I got my little sheet, 46 00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:29,919 Speaker 2: but that does help me and I will I have 47 00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:34,240 Speaker 2: to admit that who did that, I have to admit, 48 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:37,160 Speaker 2: and I'm gonna stick with my answer, but uh, you 49 00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:39,520 Speaker 2: could go two ways on this. I went with receiver 50 00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,600 Speaker 2: just because of the you know, the veteran presence as 51 00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:45,520 Speaker 2: you have with de Andre Hopkins and now Calvin Ridley 52 00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:49,480 Speaker 2: and Tyler Boyd, and you've got Trailing Burke's competing with 53 00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:54,160 Speaker 2: Nick Westbrook, Akina as the as the number Fourakwan Jackson 54 00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:56,560 Speaker 2: coming in. I mean, you can get the six pretty 55 00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,040 Speaker 2: quick and feel pretty good about the guys, even without 56 00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:02,560 Speaker 2: getting to some other players who will be competing. So 57 00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:05,000 Speaker 2: I'm going with that as my answer. But as we 58 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:08,600 Speaker 2: sat in the seat, I started thinking about other potential 59 00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:10,600 Speaker 2: positions I could have picked in the cornerbacks. 60 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:14,160 Speaker 1: One of them, I mean you looker. 61 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:16,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, just just because again veteran presence up top, with 62 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,440 Speaker 2: with the Jerry Sneed coming in here at Adobe, Woozy 63 00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,840 Speaker 2: Roger McCreery. I think who is really development? That's three 64 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:25,920 Speaker 2: really solid players, really like Jarvis Brownly think he's gonna 65 00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:29,160 Speaker 2: be a really good player. And then you know you're 66 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:33,280 Speaker 2: getting into Trey Avery and you're getting into whether or 67 00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:36,200 Speaker 2: not Kayleb Fardy can have an impact. You've got several players. 68 00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,720 Speaker 2: Eric gear in there, another guy that we're gonna mention 69 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 2: uh here later is in that group. So I think 70 00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:46,480 Speaker 2: those are the two one in one. 71 00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:48,360 Speaker 1: A for me. You satisfied with that. 72 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:49,600 Speaker 3: I'm satisfied with that. 73 00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:52,840 Speaker 4: And so as the resident wet blanket, I'm gonna switch 74 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:55,200 Speaker 4: it over to what's the position group that you're most 75 00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,440 Speaker 4: concerned about entering training camp? 76 00:03:57,520 --> 00:03:59,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, and I have to say it's it's O line. 77 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,839 Speaker 2: I think you can feel comforted, and only because there's 78 00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:04,920 Speaker 2: so many questions. I don't have any doubt that Bill 79 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,040 Speaker 2: Callahan is going to get this group right to play, 80 00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:11,880 Speaker 2: and that this position group has acquired some really good 81 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:14,560 Speaker 2: players this offseason. I guess I'll look at that because 82 00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:18,200 Speaker 2: there are so many unknowns. You know, even J C. 83 00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:21,039 Speaker 2: Latham playing on the left side is going to going 84 00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:22,800 Speaker 2: to be playing on the left side for the very 85 00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,440 Speaker 2: first time. He's a beast. We watch him in practice, 86 00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:28,440 Speaker 2: we watch him after practice. He's going to be a 87 00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:30,200 Speaker 2: great leader. I think he's going to really be a 88 00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:34,440 Speaker 2: good player. I think Scarronsky on the left side is 89 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,360 Speaker 2: going to be better in year two. Year two, Lloyd 90 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:40,480 Speaker 2: Cushionberry solid center, but on the right side, you still 91 00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:42,520 Speaker 2: have question mark who's going to be your right guard, 92 00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:44,720 Speaker 2: who's going to be your right tackle. You're going to 93 00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:49,440 Speaker 2: have a group that has not played together yet. Again, 94 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:52,080 Speaker 2: I think that they've got a great coach, Their technique 95 00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:54,520 Speaker 2: is going to be improved, they're going to be holding 96 00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:58,600 Speaker 2: each other accountable. But a lot of unknowns there. And 97 00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:02,880 Speaker 2: some of these guys, well, you know, especially Nicholas Patifer 98 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:04,880 Speaker 2: Air who's going to be in the mixes, has had 99 00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:08,280 Speaker 2: some injury history and some questions. So you've got injury questions, 100 00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:11,640 Speaker 2: You've got you know, how quickly these guys can gill? 101 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:13,839 Speaker 2: And then what how thing is going to come together 102 00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:15,520 Speaker 2: in a pretty short amount of time? 103 00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:18,040 Speaker 1: What group did you think he was going to say? 104 00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:22,880 Speaker 3: Definitely not that group. I don't know. I can't read 105 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,279 Speaker 3: Jim Wyatt's whine. What group did you think he was 106 00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:25,719 Speaker 3: going to say? 107 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:30,159 Speaker 1: I thought maybe linebackers, okay, or even outside linebackers or 108 00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:31,720 Speaker 1: D line was. 109 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:33,560 Speaker 2: Number two on my list there, just because you've got 110 00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:36,880 Speaker 2: Jeffers Simmons is a sure thing. After that, some question 111 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:39,560 Speaker 2: marks there as well. You know, you got to Vendre Sweat, 112 00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:41,560 Speaker 2: who we haven't seen much of. You've got some bussing 113 00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:44,320 Speaker 2: Joseph Day, who's new to the group. I think he's 114 00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:46,400 Speaker 2: gonna be a good player, but still, you know, some 115 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:51,599 Speaker 2: question marks arounding him, and you'll lose an underrated player 116 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:55,960 Speaker 2: in de Nico Autrey who impacts several positions, but a 117 00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:58,480 Speaker 2: big leader in that room you've got to replace. 118 00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:02,400 Speaker 1: All right. Question three. Free agent addition you think will 119 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:04,560 Speaker 1: make the most immediate impact? 120 00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:07,640 Speaker 2: I think Calvin Ridley, just because I think he changes 121 00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:11,359 Speaker 2: things on so many different levels, from his explosiveness to 122 00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:14,920 Speaker 2: his speed to his playmaking ability. You know, not only 123 00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:19,279 Speaker 2: does that help his position, it also helps the running backs, 124 00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:21,480 Speaker 2: It helps your quarterback and Will Levis. It opens up 125 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:25,039 Speaker 2: the entire offense and will free other guys up like 126 00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:29,280 Speaker 2: DeAndre Hopkins and Tyler Boyd to make more play. So 127 00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:31,240 Speaker 2: I think Ridley makes a big impact. I mean, of 128 00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:34,720 Speaker 2: all the guys I've watched throughout the offseason, he has 129 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:36,559 Speaker 2: stood out to me more than anybody else. 130 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:36,919 Speaker 1: Wow. 131 00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:40,599 Speaker 4: Seat geek is now the official ticketing partner of the 132 00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:43,560 Speaker 4: Tennessee Titans. Whether you are buying or selling tickets to 133 00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:47,120 Speaker 4: Titans games or to any live event in Nashville. 134 00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:48,640 Speaker 3: Seat geek is the place to do it. 135 00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:52,760 Speaker 4: Seat Geek the new official ticketing partner of the Tennessee Titans. 136 00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:56,440 Speaker 1: So Titans fans fan, Mike. 137 00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:59,080 Speaker 4: Did you enjoy taking the moment just then? I thought 138 00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:01,080 Speaker 4: you might like the little which You're all right, Jim White. 139 00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:05,440 Speaker 4: Back to business position where an undrafted free agent could 140 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:06,119 Speaker 4: make the team. 141 00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:10,800 Speaker 2: I'm going cornerback because of the undrafted free agent who 142 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:12,640 Speaker 2: I think has stood out the most this offseason. That's 143 00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:16,760 Speaker 2: gave Judy Lally. Again, that's a pretty deep position group 144 00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:20,080 Speaker 2: and you can get to four or five pretty quickly, 145 00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:22,960 Speaker 2: but that's also a position group where you carry extra 146 00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:25,640 Speaker 2: guys just because it's such a valuable spot. And I 147 00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:28,680 Speaker 2: think he has been really good this offseason, been probably 148 00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:32,600 Speaker 2: the most surprising of all the undrafted free agents. Can 149 00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:34,800 Speaker 2: he hold up when camp stars, We'll see. I mean 150 00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:38,400 Speaker 2: he he has stood toe to toe with some pretty 151 00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:42,320 Speaker 2: good players so far in non pointed practices, and I 152 00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:44,000 Speaker 2: think he's he's got a chance to stick. 153 00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:49,400 Speaker 1: It's funny because at Vanderbilt and at Tennessee, I think 154 00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:52,000 Speaker 1: he was asked to do some of the things that 155 00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:55,560 Speaker 1: he does well. But it feels like in the defense 156 00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:59,120 Speaker 1: of Denard Wilson, in the secondary of Denard Wilson gave 157 00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:03,360 Speaker 1: Judy lolly ab is being asked to do things that 158 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:07,520 Speaker 1: he very specifically does well. In other words, that this 159 00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:09,920 Speaker 1: might be the perfect fit for him. 160 00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:12,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, he can play the strengths and they know that. 161 00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:16,360 Speaker 2: And again, they've got corners who can do a lot 162 00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:17,960 Speaker 2: of things. You guys that have played a lot of 163 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:21,480 Speaker 2: football that you feel like you're going to be good with. 164 00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:23,480 Speaker 2: But to have other players that can come in off 165 00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:25,240 Speaker 2: the bench that can help you give you a depth. 166 00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:27,679 Speaker 2: He's got to show we can play on special teams. 167 00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:28,920 Speaker 2: I think a lot of these guys that are in 168 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,000 Speaker 2: depth positions are gonna have to be able to find 169 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,520 Speaker 2: a way to get on the field to make the team. 170 00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:34,600 Speaker 2: But I think he's capable. 171 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:40,120 Speaker 1: Question five, Brian Callahan said on the OTP that starters 172 00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:43,720 Speaker 1: would play in the preseason. How much playing time do 173 00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:46,120 Speaker 1: you think will Levis needs? 174 00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:51,120 Speaker 2: No. I think probably a quarter the game, maybe the 175 00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:54,240 Speaker 2: last game. Get him to the half. Remember how it 176 00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:56,600 Speaker 2: used to be guys would play into the third quarter. 177 00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:00,160 Speaker 2: I don't know that necessarily have to see that. I 178 00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:01,960 Speaker 2: think you do need to get him into more of 179 00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:04,800 Speaker 2: a rhythm. Again, playing with some guys who are trying 180 00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:09,920 Speaker 2: to get into more of a rhythm themselves. So always 181 00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:14,760 Speaker 2: a fine line on how much these guys need to play, 182 00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:16,720 Speaker 2: how much they should play. Last thing you're gonna do 183 00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:19,400 Speaker 2: is get guys hurt. Yes, I know there are some 184 00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:21,920 Speaker 2: examples of teams that have played their stars more in 185 00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:24,560 Speaker 2: the preseason. Some of them have started off well. Other 186 00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:28,760 Speaker 2: examples teams that don't play their stars still seem to 187 00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:30,800 Speaker 2: be okay. But I think we have a young quarterback 188 00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:33,280 Speaker 2: who still developing, didn't play a whole lot last year. 189 00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:36,640 Speaker 2: Probably helps to get him at least some feel for 190 00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:38,640 Speaker 2: the game before you're going to Chicago. 191 00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:40,960 Speaker 1: If people get a chance, If you haven't watched the 192 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:44,840 Speaker 1: two parter with Brian Callahan on the OTP, you could 193 00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:47,400 Speaker 1: watch it on the Titans YouTube channel or go to 194 00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:52,320 Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans dot com and obviously the OTP available anywhere. 195 00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:55,200 Speaker 1: Did you get your podcasts? I thought Brian was really 196 00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:58,240 Speaker 1: good in that, and it's still timely because we have 197 00:09:58,360 --> 00:09:59,480 Speaker 1: not started training camp. 198 00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:02,680 Speaker 4: Absolutely, and he revealed a lot of things. He gave 199 00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:04,880 Speaker 4: us a little peak behind the curtain into his thought 200 00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:08,559 Speaker 4: process on some things, including playing time throughout the preseason. 201 00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:10,760 Speaker 1: Did that surprise you that he said that as easily 202 00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:12,400 Speaker 1: as he did, you know, not really. 203 00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:15,240 Speaker 4: I think that people expect that a little bit. With 204 00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:18,280 Speaker 4: a new coaching staff, with so many guys that are 205 00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:21,320 Speaker 4: new to this roster, I think the expectation is that 206 00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:24,120 Speaker 4: you'll see them a little bit more in preseason, just 207 00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:26,800 Speaker 4: to Jim's point, as they're trying to build that chemistry, 208 00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:29,079 Speaker 4: as they're trying to, you know, figure out what works, 209 00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:31,880 Speaker 4: what doesn't work, get it in a rhythm with one another, 210 00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:35,280 Speaker 4: not only just guys on the field, but coaches with 211 00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:38,480 Speaker 4: the players, and just some of the more mundane like 212 00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:41,640 Speaker 4: logistic things you just have to work through a little bit, 213 00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:44,680 Speaker 4: and you want to have your starters getting those reps 214 00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:47,120 Speaker 4: to kind of understand how all of that's gonna work. 215 00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:50,439 Speaker 4: So I wasn't surprised that he said it, because I 216 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:52,960 Speaker 4: think other people around the NFL expected it. 217 00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:57,240 Speaker 1: Interesting. I think the fascinating thing with Callahead is listen, 218 00:10:57,760 --> 00:10:59,760 Speaker 1: we haven't gotten to game week and seen how he's 219 00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:03,120 Speaker 1: going to act about an injury report. He hasn't lost 220 00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:06,120 Speaker 1: a game yet. He also hasn't had a fourth and 221 00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:09,440 Speaker 1: one play call go badly. Yet we understand all of 222 00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:14,120 Speaker 1: those things, and yet it doesn't feel like he sweats 223 00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:18,920 Speaker 1: the small stuff like a lot of coaches around the 224 00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:19,960 Speaker 1: NFL have been. 225 00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:22,719 Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree, And it's funny. You know, the last day, 226 00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:24,680 Speaker 2: I guess what they call it, field day for the 227 00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:27,720 Speaker 2: play the Olympics. Yeah, I was standing out there that 228 00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:30,280 Speaker 2: day eating a wasn't a ConA ice, but it was 229 00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:32,840 Speaker 2: with some kind of a one of those special ice. 230 00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:36,960 Speaker 1: Wasn't a snicker. 231 00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:37,960 Speaker 2: Snowballs? 232 00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:40,319 Speaker 1: Right when the food trucks out the players. 233 00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:42,679 Speaker 2: Yes, So I was standing out there eating one of those, 234 00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:46,400 Speaker 2: and uh, was it tiger blood? I was eating tiger blood? Oh? 235 00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:48,439 Speaker 1: Wow? You and Charlie she yeah. 236 00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:50,920 Speaker 2: I had had a red tongue when we left too. So. 237 00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:53,360 Speaker 2: But so I was staying out there talking to him, Yeah, 238 00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:56,600 Speaker 2: oh my gosh. And I was kind of casual conversation 239 00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:59,319 Speaker 2: with him, and uh, just about how good a feel 240 00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:03,400 Speaker 2: it's been in the building. Guys seemed more relaxed, upbeat, 241 00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:05,839 Speaker 2: and uh. And then in that I think I think 242 00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:07,920 Speaker 2: I kind of threw in, I know it'll change when 243 00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:11,200 Speaker 2: the season starts and there's more pressure and you're playing games. 244 00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:13,880 Speaker 2: And he's kind of stopped me and said, it shouldn't 245 00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:17,199 Speaker 2: you know, it shouldn't change. Just because you're playing games. 246 00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:19,840 Speaker 2: You know, guys should be relaxed, Guys should feel comfortable 247 00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:22,959 Speaker 2: in the building. Guys shouldn't feel more stress yet it's 248 00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:25,600 Speaker 2: a serious business and you're trying to win games. But 249 00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:28,560 Speaker 2: I don't I don't want the feel around the building 250 00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:31,640 Speaker 2: to change. Uh. So I thought that was interesting. Yeah, 251 00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:33,320 Speaker 2: I thought that was interesting, And it just kind of 252 00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:35,880 Speaker 2: shows you the culture he's trying to create here, the 253 00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:39,160 Speaker 2: culture he has I think already created here. And uh, 254 00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:41,840 Speaker 2: I think part of that's because of who he is. 255 00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:44,120 Speaker 2: Part of it's because of the guys he brought with 256 00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:46,640 Speaker 2: him on the coaching staff. Part of it is because 257 00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:51,640 Speaker 2: of the players he's assembled in this locker room. And 258 00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:55,120 Speaker 2: I think guys just feel more relaxed and uh and 259 00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:56,760 Speaker 2: or maybe more in it together. 260 00:12:56,880 --> 00:13:00,760 Speaker 1: Don't you think there's a genuine confidence to him. Yeah, 261 00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:05,480 Speaker 1: certainly not shooting his mouth off, looking to troll people 262 00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:08,760 Speaker 1: and things of that sort, but he just it's like, yeah, 263 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:11,160 Speaker 1: I think I know what I'm doing and I'm gonna 264 00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:14,000 Speaker 1: go do it. This is how it's gonna be. And yeah, 265 00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:16,560 Speaker 1: we'll have bad days, but we'll also have more good 266 00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:18,000 Speaker 1: days and so on and so forth. 267 00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:19,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think so and I think a lot of 268 00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:21,280 Speaker 2: that's because of where he's been and who he's been 269 00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:25,000 Speaker 2: around and people he's learned from, and including his father, 270 00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:27,920 Speaker 2: who was a great get and it's kind of a 271 00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:31,360 Speaker 2: stabilizing force, I'm sure for him. So he feels like 272 00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:34,760 Speaker 2: what he's bringing to Tennessee is going to work. Not 273 00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:37,199 Speaker 2: gonna be perfect right out of the gate, but he 274 00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:41,240 Speaker 2: definitely got a quiet confidence about him. Not cocky, no 275 00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:45,680 Speaker 2: swagger at all, just a guy who is ready to 276 00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:49,439 Speaker 2: work and feels good about where things going with Rank Carthon. 277 00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:52,079 Speaker 4: I'll tell you what, he's been exactly the same person 278 00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:55,439 Speaker 4: from the very first day that we hired him, sitting 279 00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:58,880 Speaker 4: in his living room talking to him as he is today. 280 00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:00,000 Speaker 1: Oh that's an interesting point. 281 00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:04,080 Speaker 4: Exactly same human being. He's had the same quiet confidence, 282 00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:06,520 Speaker 4: very same kind of yeah, I feel like I can 283 00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:09,160 Speaker 4: do this job. This is something that I know how 284 00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:11,920 Speaker 4: to do and I'm ready for. And he hasn't wavered 285 00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:15,080 Speaker 4: in that feeling that he knows what he's doing, feeling 286 00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:18,640 Speaker 4: that he is completely the right person for this job 287 00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:21,640 Speaker 4: and is totally capable, and he's not loud or over 288 00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:24,440 Speaker 4: the top about it. He's just kind of a guy 289 00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:27,760 Speaker 4: that's doing what he is supposed to be doing. Yeah, 290 00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:32,600 Speaker 4: very confident, very easy. So that's great. But happy for 291 00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:35,520 Speaker 4: Brian Callahan. Happy he's here, Happy he's comfortable, Excited to 292 00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:38,920 Speaker 4: see him moving. I would like to really really get 293 00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:42,280 Speaker 4: back to the offensive line, especially because Jim kind of 294 00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:45,800 Speaker 4: threw us with his initial answer of it being a 295 00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:48,840 Speaker 4: place for concern for him. So let's dig into that. 296 00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:52,880 Speaker 4: The right side of the offensive line is undetermined as 297 00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:55,920 Speaker 4: we enter training camp, which Jim said earlier. Is there 298 00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:59,360 Speaker 4: a player at either the right guard or right tackle 299 00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:01,880 Speaker 4: who could end end up being a surprise starter. 300 00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:06,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, And I'm going to jump back to that concern 301 00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:09,000 Speaker 2: answer too. And part of the reason I should have 302 00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:10,960 Speaker 2: said earlier, part of the reason for concerns has been 303 00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:12,520 Speaker 2: So it's been rough last. 304 00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:17,800 Speaker 1: And I think your answer is correct. I think I 305 00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:21,760 Speaker 1: had fallen into the trap of, oh, they've improved the talent, 306 00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:25,080 Speaker 1: and oh Bill Callahan's here, it's gonna be fine, And 307 00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:27,040 Speaker 1: you brought me back to reality. Well done. 308 00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:29,400 Speaker 2: Yes, I mean it's been rough, and and I'm just 309 00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:32,240 Speaker 2: kind of a feeling you just can't snap your fingers 310 00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:34,880 Speaker 2: and expect everything's gonna be fixed. Now, I think it 311 00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:38,040 Speaker 2: will improve, but I certainly have questions there, and I 312 00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:41,400 Speaker 2: know the questions on the right side are the biggest 313 00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:45,040 Speaker 2: ones for me. Uh surprised that I feel like I'm 314 00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:46,920 Speaker 2: cheating to some degree because I've been able to watch 315 00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:49,720 Speaker 2: all these off season practices, I've seen guys works. I 316 00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:51,320 Speaker 2: feel like I got a better feel. I think if 317 00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:55,120 Speaker 2: you'd asked me at the start of the off season 318 00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:57,560 Speaker 2: who I thought the stars would be, and I should 319 00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:00,000 Speaker 2: say started off season, but maybe once the practice before 320 00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:01,720 Speaker 2: with the practice has started, who I thought the stars 321 00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:03,600 Speaker 2: would be, I probably would have said Daniel Brunschool at 322 00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:06,880 Speaker 2: right guard. Probably would have seen Nicholas Patifa at right tackle. 323 00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:11,480 Speaker 2: I'm going with Sadek Charles as the right guard if 324 00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:13,880 Speaker 2: I don't know if that qualifies as a surprise, but 325 00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:17,400 Speaker 2: you know, with him in the mix with Brunschul and 326 00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:19,360 Speaker 2: Raiding's a couple of guys that have been here, I 327 00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:21,560 Speaker 2: think he's I think Sadick Charles got a great chance 328 00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:25,240 Speaker 2: to win that job. Like his size, like a strength, 329 00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:28,920 Speaker 2: i think he's got the mindset to win that job. 330 00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:33,080 Speaker 2: And then I'm going with Petit Frere right tackle. Got 331 00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:35,480 Speaker 2: to stay healthy, has not been able to do that. 332 00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:38,800 Speaker 2: Of late, had a just a forgettable year last season with. 333 00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:40,880 Speaker 1: The lost pension. Yeah last year. 334 00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:44,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, And uh so I think he is the guy 335 00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:47,960 Speaker 2: to beat out there, but he's got to got to. 336 00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:50,560 Speaker 1: Be in the race, and and that's not a given. 337 00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:56,200 Speaker 1: I think the right tackle thing is really more fascinating 338 00:16:56,240 --> 00:17:00,000 Speaker 1: than what people know, because on paper, you say, Nicholas 339 00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:02,680 Speaker 1: t freyre was the starting right tackle all the way 340 00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:06,480 Speaker 1: through his rookie year, did a serviceable job. You felt 341 00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:09,399 Speaker 1: like he'll improve and that he can develop into that spot. 342 00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:14,800 Speaker 1: But then you've got Leroy Watson who they bring in 343 00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:20,280 Speaker 1: from Cleveland, who had been with Bill Callahan and he's capable. 344 00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:24,960 Speaker 1: And then John A Djuku who took a lot of 345 00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:30,400 Speaker 1: one reps at right tackle through the offseason. I think 346 00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:32,200 Speaker 1: a Djuku may be the surprise. 347 00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:33,200 Speaker 3: Interesting. 348 00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:35,960 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean that's what this time of years for, 349 00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:39,879 Speaker 4: you know, this is this is something where guys are 350 00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:42,080 Speaker 4: given the ability to rise and show what they can 351 00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:43,280 Speaker 4: do and earn that spot. 352 00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:45,760 Speaker 3: And a Djuku's an interesting one. 353 00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:50,080 Speaker 1: Djuku's interesting. And then Dylan Raiden's a guard. Yes, Dylan 354 00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:53,359 Speaker 1: Raden's played better football last year than he got credit for. 355 00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:55,680 Speaker 1: I think in the midst of what was a bad 356 00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:58,920 Speaker 1: offensive line year, he did some nice stuff and now 357 00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:03,560 Speaker 1: that he's fully constant trading at guard, you you just wonder. 358 00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:06,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, and I I like the way he approaches things. 359 00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:08,199 Speaker 2: I mean, he knows he came in here with a 360 00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:11,720 Speaker 2: lot of pressure on him and hasn't been easy, and 361 00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:14,360 Speaker 2: he's had to bounce from position to position and now 362 00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:18,040 Speaker 2: just said he's kind of locked in and learning one spot, 363 00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:22,000 Speaker 2: or should say learning it's trying to solidify himself at 364 00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:25,679 Speaker 2: that one spot. I think coaches certainly like him and 365 00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:27,920 Speaker 2: curiously how that plays out. 366 00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:31,560 Speaker 1: Word from our friends at Pinnacle Financial Partners open a 367 00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:34,840 Speaker 1: Titans checking account with at least one hundred dollars and 368 00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:39,320 Speaker 1: a recurring direct deposit by August second, and you could 369 00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:43,399 Speaker 1: receive two tickets to five home games. Details at Titansbanking 370 00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:48,159 Speaker 1: dot com. Titans Checking from Pinnacle play Hard Bank Easy 371 00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:53,439 Speaker 1: member Fdi s all right. Question seven is to and 372 00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:57,399 Speaker 1: Andre Sweat going to be the most watched and most 373 00:18:57,480 --> 00:19:00,359 Speaker 1: talked about draft pick in training camp? 374 00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:02,960 Speaker 2: Probably so, because I think at this point people have 375 00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:05,560 Speaker 2: seen enough of j. C. Latham to know this guy's 376 00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:08,160 Speaker 2: you know, this guy's going to be reliable. He's going 377 00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:11,600 Speaker 2: to work, there's no mystery surrounding him. You kind of 378 00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:14,639 Speaker 2: know what you're gonna get there. Yeah, yeah, Uh, but 379 00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:17,480 Speaker 2: with Sweat, there's a lot of mystery surrounding him. You know, 380 00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:20,320 Speaker 2: I had a lot of questions coming in here. Uh 381 00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:22,400 Speaker 2: got a sneak peek of him right out of the gate, 382 00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:24,640 Speaker 2: and then he's kind of been working on his own. 383 00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:27,280 Speaker 2: I think some of it's been rehabbed, some of it's 384 00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:28,560 Speaker 2: just been precautionary. 385 00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:29,280 Speaker 1: Uh. 386 00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:33,080 Speaker 2: We all know the size that he is and the 387 00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:35,720 Speaker 2: strength that he has and the potential that he has, 388 00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:39,400 Speaker 2: but but need to see it. And uh, he's got 389 00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:42,399 Speaker 2: a big personality, So he's going to be fun to 390 00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:45,080 Speaker 2: watch and uh, and he's going to be a guy 391 00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:47,119 Speaker 2: who's gonna be criticized if he's not able to be 392 00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:48,119 Speaker 2: out there early. 393 00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:51,639 Speaker 1: You know how he was an early second round pick 394 00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:55,920 Speaker 1: and most of the draft prognosticators did not have him there, 395 00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:59,920 Speaker 1: so fair or not that immediately puts him on people's rate. 396 00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:04,080 Speaker 1: Are because A there were a lot of other nice 397 00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:06,919 Speaker 1: players that had been mentioned at that spot that you 398 00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:10,760 Speaker 1: chose not to take. But also it's like, Okay, the 399 00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:14,119 Speaker 1: Titans really believed in you this much, are you going 400 00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:14,800 Speaker 1: to pay it back. 401 00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:18,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, and right now, sitting here before camp, stars just 402 00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:21,439 Speaker 2: don't know, Like we have not seen much of him. 403 00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:24,160 Speaker 2: I've seen him in the building. Love his personality. He's 404 00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:26,720 Speaker 2: going to be fun, and so you want him to 405 00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:28,399 Speaker 2: be out there and you want him to be good. 406 00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:31,760 Speaker 2: But he's got to be able to stay healthy. And 407 00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:35,400 Speaker 2: that's another thing. You just can't snap your finger expected. 408 00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:37,440 Speaker 2: Like he's got to get into shape. And I don't 409 00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:39,879 Speaker 2: know what he's done here over the last several weeks. 410 00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:43,320 Speaker 2: Even when camp starts. I mean, I think hopefully the 411 00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:45,800 Speaker 2: weather it's supposed to be one hundred degrees here in Nashville. 412 00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:48,959 Speaker 2: I think next week maybe it'll be a little bit cooler. 413 00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:53,359 Speaker 2: I've already checking those long term forecast. But to Viandre Sweat, 414 00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:57,080 Speaker 2: probably checking him too, because getting out there as a 415 00:20:57,119 --> 00:21:01,760 Speaker 2: three hundred and fifty pounder, it's gonna be hard to 416 00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:04,679 Speaker 2: move around in that heat, and and he's gonna have 417 00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:07,560 Speaker 2: to be able to hold up and and uh, not 418 00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:11,119 Speaker 2: only be in shape, but be able to line up 419 00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:13,520 Speaker 2: across from somebody on the other side of football that's 420 00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:14,800 Speaker 2: that's making contact with you. 421 00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:17,680 Speaker 1: Now. The Titans need him to help. Yeah, oh yeah, 422 00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:20,080 Speaker 1: I mean when you talk about the defensive line and 423 00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:23,320 Speaker 1: some of the question marks, I mean, it would it 424 00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:27,120 Speaker 1: would help a lot if he's a regular contributor if 425 00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:27,760 Speaker 1: not a starter. 426 00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:31,719 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean that's a position where they need they 427 00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:34,160 Speaker 4: need help, but they need big help. 428 00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:35,040 Speaker 1: I like. 429 00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:40,040 Speaker 3: The gesture, Yeah, with the gesture because he is big 430 00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:41,680 Speaker 3: and would be a big help. 431 00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:45,400 Speaker 4: So yeah, he's somebody who there's a little bit more 432 00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:49,240 Speaker 4: pressure to be able to perform right away because there's 433 00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:50,480 Speaker 4: a need right now. 434 00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:51,000 Speaker 1: That's right. 435 00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:54,520 Speaker 4: I like this line of questioning. Can we continue on 436 00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:55,040 Speaker 4: this way? 437 00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:56,440 Speaker 2: Let's do it all right? 438 00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:59,480 Speaker 4: So if trailing Burke's is going to be the most 439 00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:03,520 Speaker 4: watched and most talked about current Titan, who do we 440 00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:06,600 Speaker 4: think is going to be number two and number three 441 00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:07,600 Speaker 4: on that list? 442 00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:10,560 Speaker 2: I think, I mean, if it feels like cheating, but 443 00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:14,480 Speaker 2: Will Levis, uh, you know, quarterback is always yeah, is 444 00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:20,119 Speaker 2: always going to be watched and scrutinized and uh, happened 445 00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:21,879 Speaker 2: here the off season. It's going to happen again in 446 00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:24,760 Speaker 2: his first camp, going into his first camp as the 447 00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:28,480 Speaker 2: starter in a new offense with with a lot of 448 00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:32,400 Speaker 2: moving parts around him. So I think Levis is one, uh, 449 00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:35,399 Speaker 2: and Burks is definitely. It's going to be everything he 450 00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:38,199 Speaker 2: does is going to be scrutinized. I think I'm mentioning 451 00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:40,119 Speaker 2: Ridley again. I think he's gonna be talked about a 452 00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:42,040 Speaker 2: lot because I think he's gonna make plays and he's 453 00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:45,600 Speaker 2: gonna have a lot of wow moments. I think because 454 00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:48,240 Speaker 2: he because of the newness. I think Jamal Adams and 455 00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:51,800 Speaker 2: you know, I don't know that he's going to make 456 00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:57,320 Speaker 2: the wow plays in practices like Calvin Ridley will, but 457 00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:00,399 Speaker 2: he is certainly people canna be watching him. Ty he 458 00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:03,720 Speaker 2: handles himself, he comes, he has some swagger to him. 459 00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:07,760 Speaker 2: How they're going to use him, All that is going 460 00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:10,440 Speaker 2: to generate. I think a lot of conversation. 461 00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:15,959 Speaker 1: All right. Question nine. Jack Gibbons was a favorite of 462 00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:19,760 Speaker 1: the former coaching staff because he always did everything the 463 00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:23,760 Speaker 1: right way. The new coaching staff has said the exact 464 00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:30,200 Speaker 1: same things, so has Jack Gibbons. Jack Gibbons improved enough 465 00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:34,760 Speaker 1: that he'll be a starting inside linebacker for Week one. 466 00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:38,480 Speaker 2: If I had to say today, I say yes, and 467 00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:41,119 Speaker 2: I think he is the favorite. I'll say that. And 468 00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:45,439 Speaker 2: Cedric Gray he's got a chance to overtake him, but 469 00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:47,560 Speaker 2: I don't know if he has enough time to do it, 470 00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:51,160 Speaker 2: just because of the reputation Gibbons has and just because 471 00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:54,399 Speaker 2: of I think how he'll do. You know, at the 472 00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:57,760 Speaker 2: end of the off season, I did maybe a ten 473 00:23:57,840 --> 00:23:59,960 Speaker 2: Titans who stood out the mostion on the off season, 474 00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:02,240 Speaker 2: and I listed Jack Gibbons on there, and I said 475 00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:07,119 Speaker 2: he was the favorite heading into the season. And I 476 00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:09,800 Speaker 2: think maybe the first comment of there was it's a 477 00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:13,680 Speaker 2: rare Jim Wyatt bad take, rare, rare bad take from 478 00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:15,480 Speaker 2: Jim White, which I kind of took as a compliment 479 00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:18,760 Speaker 2: if they're saying it was rare. But I noticed that, 480 00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:22,760 Speaker 2: and I'm thinking, you know, people maybe underrate Jack Gibbons 481 00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:23,320 Speaker 2: a little bit. 482 00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:27,560 Speaker 1: But with all that, well, he's seen as the try 483 00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:31,800 Speaker 1: hard guy. That's the thing. You know, you get players 484 00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:35,240 Speaker 1: in any sport and they're seen as he's a better 485 00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:39,600 Speaker 1: athlete than what people know. He's really improved his athleticism 486 00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:42,639 Speaker 1: last year. The coaching staff was thrilled with how he 487 00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:45,760 Speaker 1: improved his speed. But I mean, this is a guy 488 00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:51,600 Speaker 1: can plays some football. But in the offseason, every narrative was, oh, 489 00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:54,639 Speaker 1: I mean he he might not even make the team, 490 00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:57,160 Speaker 1: you know, And and I get that. I mean, I'm 491 00:24:57,200 --> 00:24:59,680 Speaker 1: not criticizing people for saying that, but I don't think 492 00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:05,000 Speaker 1: they They necessarily realized who he is, and that was 493 00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:08,480 Speaker 1: some of the reason for the surprise that he took 494 00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:11,600 Speaker 1: virtually every one rep that I saw, right. 495 00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:14,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, And and I think a lot of people feel 496 00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:16,119 Speaker 2: like he's just holding that spot until you get Cedric 497 00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:18,440 Speaker 2: Great comfortable and then he moves in, and that could 498 00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:20,919 Speaker 2: could happen. I mean, that's what you compete. I mean, 499 00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:23,119 Speaker 2: that's why you compete. That's what training camp's all about. 500 00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:25,960 Speaker 2: You know, some of these other positions we've talked about. Yeah, 501 00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:27,920 Speaker 2: we can say who we think might win the job, 502 00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:30,000 Speaker 2: but once you get out there and you're competing, and 503 00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:34,080 Speaker 2: you're competing in practices against the Seahawks and preseason games 504 00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:37,439 Speaker 2: and going out every day, guys pass one another, you know, 505 00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:40,280 Speaker 2: you just can't. You can't pencil a guy in in July. 506 00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:44,199 Speaker 2: But I think that Jack Gibbons is the favorite. I 507 00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:46,280 Speaker 2: think Cedric Gray is going to have a role. I 508 00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:48,760 Speaker 2: think Cedric Gray is going to be a good player 509 00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:50,639 Speaker 2: and probably and will end up being a starter for 510 00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:53,040 Speaker 2: this team at some points as a matter of how soon. 511 00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:56,199 Speaker 2: And uh, but if I had to, you know, if 512 00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:57,679 Speaker 2: you don't put me on the spot and I had 513 00:25:57,680 --> 00:25:59,960 Speaker 2: to fill out who I think that's being the starting lineup? 514 00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:02,960 Speaker 2: Uh in Chicago? I would I think Jack Gibbons will 515 00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:05,560 Speaker 2: be inside backer next to Murray. 516 00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:08,240 Speaker 1: All right, you've got the tenth and final. 517 00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:12,359 Speaker 4: I have the tenth and final question, Jim Wyatt. Will 518 00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:17,199 Speaker 4: a Brian Callahan training camp look markedly different from a 519 00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:19,160 Speaker 4: Mike Rabel training camp? 520 00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:21,959 Speaker 2: You know, I don't know it if it'll look markedly different. 521 00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:26,879 Speaker 2: I think Vrabel, being a former player himself, you know, 522 00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:31,440 Speaker 2: very conscious of not overworking guys, prove that by not 523 00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:34,119 Speaker 2: playing the starter as much in the preseason and just 524 00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:37,320 Speaker 2: by the way his practices were structured so many walkthroughs. 525 00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:41,399 Speaker 2: I think Finan Callahan is in an interesting spot because 526 00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:43,760 Speaker 2: he has such a different team. I mean, you've got 527 00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:48,560 Speaker 2: guys who veteran guys, whether it's Jeffrey Simmons or DeAndre 528 00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:54,280 Speaker 2: Hopkins or Calvin Ridley or Tyler Boyd or Jamal Adams. 529 00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:56,560 Speaker 2: You go down the list of players who probably don't 530 00:26:56,640 --> 00:26:59,680 Speaker 2: need a lot of work. You don't want to overwork. 531 00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:01,520 Speaker 2: Some of these guys will probably get days off. But 532 00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:04,360 Speaker 2: then on the flip side of that, you've got younger 533 00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:08,800 Speaker 2: guys like Will Levis, and certainly, you know, I think 534 00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:12,840 Speaker 2: you could throw spears in that group and all the 535 00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:16,640 Speaker 2: rookies that actually need a lot of work. Sure, it's 536 00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:20,919 Speaker 2: an interesting mix. And how you blend it all together. 537 00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:23,200 Speaker 2: You've got to have competition, and you've got to get 538 00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:27,240 Speaker 2: players to gel like the offensive line. So I don't 539 00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:30,160 Speaker 2: know if it'll look a lot different. I certainly think 540 00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:34,520 Speaker 2: that you know that he will be aware of not 541 00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:38,280 Speaker 2: putting too much on guys. And there's a such a 542 00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:41,359 Speaker 2: long runway to the season now. I mean we're getting 543 00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:43,440 Speaker 2: ready to start here next week and the season doesn't 544 00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:45,879 Speaker 2: start until September the eighth. You don't want these guys 545 00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:48,959 Speaker 2: worn out before the season starts. 546 00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:54,080 Speaker 1: But everything's new, yeah, I mean it's a completely new offense, 547 00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:58,359 Speaker 1: it's a completely new defense, completely new special teams with 548 00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:02,760 Speaker 1: a new kickoff rule. You've got a new coaching staff 549 00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:07,240 Speaker 1: that's never worked together. I mean, in essence, even though 550 00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:11,879 Speaker 1: over I guess sixty percent of the roster is back, 551 00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:15,320 Speaker 1: forty percent of the rosters new, which is a lot. 552 00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:18,320 Speaker 1: But because of the fact that all the coaches have 553 00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:21,080 Speaker 1: changed and the systems change and the terminology has changed, 554 00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:25,000 Speaker 1: everybody's new. They need as much work as they can 555 00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:28,400 Speaker 1: get to be ready for Septembers. 556 00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:30,960 Speaker 2: True, and can you accomplish that and walkthroughs? I don't 557 00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:32,840 Speaker 2: think so. You know, you've got to have some full 558 00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:36,000 Speaker 2: speed stuff and so that's where you got to find 559 00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:39,600 Speaker 2: that balance of what's too much what's not enough on 560 00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:44,880 Speaker 2: a team that has a tremendous blend of old and new. 561 00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:49,240 Speaker 4: Yes, yes, I think there is a lot to look 562 00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:50,560 Speaker 4: forward to in training camp. 563 00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:52,240 Speaker 3: Jim. 564 00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:54,200 Speaker 4: I don't love that you sold us out in the 565 00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:56,640 Speaker 4: beginning saying that we gave you the questions in advance. 566 00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:58,200 Speaker 3: So I think that's not great. 567 00:28:58,280 --> 00:28:58,440 Speaker 1: Yeah. 568 00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:00,240 Speaker 4: I think what we should do, though, is hit with 569 00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:03,200 Speaker 4: some questions that maybe he isn't prepared for. So I 570 00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:05,719 Speaker 4: would like to know, Jim Whitet, just to put you 571 00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:09,640 Speaker 4: on the spot of the Titans training camps that you've 572 00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:12,520 Speaker 4: been to, which I think it's all of them, what 573 00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:15,680 Speaker 4: are some of your favorite training camp memories moments of 574 00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:18,160 Speaker 4: really just light your fire? 575 00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:20,400 Speaker 2: I think the goal I mean when they went the 576 00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:23,240 Speaker 2: goal line like some of these problems, it's funny. I 577 00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:26,040 Speaker 2: don't I'll probably pass out on the practice field in 578 00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:30,560 Speaker 2: the first week. Uh, but practice. Training camp practice back 579 00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:32,760 Speaker 2: in the day were eight thirty to eleven, three thirty 580 00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:35,800 Speaker 2: to six every single day. It was just a blur 581 00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:40,479 Speaker 2: and uh, and then you always know when you know 582 00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:43,920 Speaker 2: when the first padded practice was. You always knew when 583 00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:45,960 Speaker 2: the first goal line was. I think some of those 584 00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:50,880 Speaker 2: goal line uh drills stood out to me the most. 585 00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:53,320 Speaker 2: Was it was Chick and Camela they got enough fight 586 00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:56,240 Speaker 2: one time in training camp. Remember that it wasn't Watching 587 00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:58,640 Speaker 2: and Camela it was it was it was it was 588 00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:02,520 Speaker 2: Boyman and wh check Kamela got in one maybe with 589 00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:05,000 Speaker 2: I don't know if him and Greg favors over load. 590 00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:06,960 Speaker 1: We've sin got several. 591 00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:10,640 Speaker 2: Chris Sanders got in a rare one with maybe Perry 592 00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:11,680 Speaker 2: Phoenix one time. 593 00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:12,080 Speaker 3: Uh. 594 00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:14,360 Speaker 2: Some of those we used to have some all out 595 00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:17,480 Speaker 2: brawl and I hate to say that those were some 596 00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:20,560 Speaker 2: of the moments that stood out the most, but uh, 597 00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:21,880 Speaker 2: it was different back then. 598 00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:25,040 Speaker 1: Well, the Frank story about Rocky Boyman and Rocky. If 599 00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:28,960 Speaker 1: you're watching this, thanks thanks for watching. First of all, 600 00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:32,280 Speaker 1: or you're listening Frank Frank was not a big fan 601 00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:35,040 Speaker 1: of Rocky Boyman. Maybe later in life he was, but 602 00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:38,040 Speaker 1: he really did will scrap it. He did not care 603 00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:44,280 Speaker 1: for Boyman's enthusiasm. Because here's Frank and Frank's I mean, 604 00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:48,160 Speaker 1: this was two thousand and one. I guess Boyman was drafted, 605 00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:51,160 Speaker 1: is that right? That's probably, uh two thousand and two 606 00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:54,000 Speaker 1: right in there. I think it was two thousand. So 607 00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:57,880 Speaker 1: Frank's right at the end, and Frank Frank wants to 608 00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:01,000 Speaker 1: practice and do his stuff and do his Frank things 609 00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:02,840 Speaker 1: and then get off there. Well, I mean, if you're 610 00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:05,600 Speaker 1: a veteran player, particularly in those days when you went 611 00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:10,640 Speaker 1: full pads, you don't expect rookies to hit you or 612 00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:13,600 Speaker 1: to bother you or to grab you or whatever. Well, 613 00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:18,320 Speaker 1: Rocky thought his job was to actually play linebacker in 614 00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:20,760 Speaker 1: the NFL. That's what he thought he had been drafted for. 615 00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:25,960 Speaker 1: He didn't realize that Frank Whitechak did not expect to 616 00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:30,240 Speaker 1: be touched and so man, it made Frank so mad. 617 00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:33,960 Speaker 1: And then Rocky did what Rocky would do. He went 618 00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:39,200 Speaker 1: back at him, you know, he oh, and I mean 619 00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:43,719 Speaker 1: it was okaysh Frank. Frank did not like Rocky Boyman 620 00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:46,360 Speaker 1: at that Again, I'm sure later in life they got 621 00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:49,640 Speaker 1: over it. Yeah, So at that point, I mean he 622 00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:50,400 Speaker 1: wanted Rocky. 623 00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:54,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, the Fight's definitely some that stood out at you know, 624 00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:56,040 Speaker 2: a couple of other funny stories. I remember what you 625 00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:59,080 Speaker 2: remember when when rookie holdouts used to be a thing, 626 00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:01,760 Speaker 2: you know with the draft. Now they're signed and sealed 627 00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:03,600 Speaker 2: back in June, you don't have to worry about it. 628 00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:05,480 Speaker 2: But it used to be that these things were dragging on. 629 00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:08,840 Speaker 2: Albert Hainsworth went on forever. Pac Man Joneses went on forever. 630 00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:11,600 Speaker 2: You know, missed like twenty two, twenty three practices, and 631 00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:14,720 Speaker 2: I remember, you know pac Man who had a lot 632 00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:18,280 Speaker 2: of chatter around him. Uh, anyway before he took the 633 00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:22,360 Speaker 2: field in training camp. Uh, he finally signed it, agregious deal, 634 00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:24,760 Speaker 2: signed it. All the reporters were waiting for him to 635 00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:27,760 Speaker 2: come out the door, couldn't figure out where the heck 636 00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:31,520 Speaker 2: pac Man was, and Waterson had stuck pac Man, I 637 00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:34,080 Speaker 2: guess on one of the equipment carts and hit a 638 00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:37,280 Speaker 2: bunch of dummies around him where he somehow got on 639 00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:39,360 Speaker 2: that cart behind the building and came out on the 640 00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:43,240 Speaker 2: field without anybody noticing, and then popped out with the cornerbacks. 641 00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:46,400 Speaker 2: That was kind of funny. There was Jake Sprague. Does 642 00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:49,880 Speaker 2: that name Jake Sprague? I think was the hopefully I 643 00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:53,480 Speaker 2: get the name right. Was a player here that had 644 00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:58,959 Speaker 2: an injury, couldn't never get him healthy. I think some 645 00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:02,720 Speaker 2: people suspected that he could practice UH and was kind 646 00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:05,520 Speaker 2: of nursing it to stick around longer. Waterson took him 647 00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:08,400 Speaker 2: out and training camp and a UH in a kayak 648 00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:13,000 Speaker 2: and had him working like able to had this guy 649 00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:15,960 Speaker 2: in this kayak during training camp, everybody else on the 650 00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:19,840 Speaker 2: field just rolling this kayak through. He was worn out. 651 00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:22,120 Speaker 2: And I think this guy the next day he said, okay, 652 00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:24,880 Speaker 2: I'm ready to practice, and he got back to practic amazingly. 653 00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:27,640 Speaker 2: He got healed, and then he got cut the next day. 654 00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:30,080 Speaker 2: But I think he may be ended up on Lake 655 00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:36,240 Speaker 2: Oh Kobe, Yeah, yeah, kayak. Yes so.

We 663 00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:04,920 Speaker 1: signed an extra quarterback one year in the early days 664 00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:08,960 Speaker 1: from an SEC school that I won't mentioned. And he 665 00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:12,959 Speaker 1: went out the first day and I mean he couldn't throw. 666 00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:16,480 Speaker 1: I mean it was like, you've got to be kidding me. 667 00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:18,719 Speaker 2: And I remember the quarterback you're talking about it. 668 00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:21,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, he was waived the next day, and you know 669 00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:26,879 Speaker 1: it was people were watching this from the media standpoint 670 00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:31,399 Speaker 1: and from just the observer standpoint, and they're thinking, is what. 671 00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:35,040 Speaker 1: But now, granted he was not all he was signed 672 00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:37,960 Speaker 1: to be was a training camp arm.

And then 705 00:36:31,080 --> 00:36:36,799 Speaker 1: the most interesting part was the food, because I mean 706 00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:40,000 Speaker 1: there was no nutrition in ninety eight. It was t 707 00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:46,480 Speaker 1: bone steaks and giant baked potatoes.
