But thanks for having me on first and 11 00:01:23.840 --> 00:01:26.760 foremost, I appreciate it. Excited to talk some ball. Oh yeah, 12 00:01:26.799 --> 00:01:30.799 we were super thrilled to have you on. Man.

Man, this dude is awesome. 19 00:01:55.359 --> 00:02:00.239 Thank you for being on our show. Thank you. So let's they've 20 00:02:00.280 --> 00:02:05.120 brought into it training camp. You know, we're back in training camp. 21 00:02:05.159 --> 00:02:09.000 Everything's going on. Today was the first day with pads, So I guess 22 00:02:09.039 --> 00:02:16.319 my first question for you would be the defensive line domination. You know, 23 00:02:19.120 --> 00:02:22.240 we've seen it without the pads. I was kind of hoping we wouldn't see 24 00:02:22.240 --> 00:02:24.680 it with the pads, but with the pads, it seems like they're still 25 00:02:24.719 --> 00:02:30.159 getting kind of dominated out there. And I heard that Harold Landry was just 26 00:02:30.240 --> 00:02:34.240 kind of having his way with Andrea Dillard. What do you kind of make 27 00:02:34.240 --> 00:02:38.439 of that? And what is your assessment that is it that our offensive line 28 00:02:38.520 --> 00:02:40.919 is just having a real big issues or is it our the defensive line is 29 00:02:40.960 --> 00:02:46.000 just really that good? Or is it a combination? Well, I think 30 00:02:46.280 --> 00:02:50.360 what's the Drake meme that's going around right now. Combination that's what it is 31 00:02:50.680 --> 00:02:55.319 right there. I mean, obviously we all expected the Titans defensive line to 32 00:02:55.319 --> 00:03:00.879 be awesome, right, so why would everybody act out be surprised any of 33 00:03:00.919 --> 00:03:05.960 that when the Titans defensive line is in fact awesome, and we're hoping that 34 00:03:06.000 --> 00:03:09.919 the Titans defensive line would be great against anybody, let alone the Titans offensive 35 00:03:09.919 --> 00:03:13.719 line, which we know, even if everything goes well, they're probably an 36 00:03:13.759 --> 00:03:15.919 average offensive line, you know what I mean, even if everything goes well. 37 00:03:16.039 --> 00:03:20.319 So I think the odds are that it's you know, gonna fall somewhere 38 00:03:20.319 --> 00:03:22.599 in the middle of the Titans offensive line will be a little bit better, 39 00:03:22.680 --> 00:03:24.960 maybe not as good as average, but still probably worse than we all hope 40 00:03:25.000 --> 00:03:30.479 with our most optimistic versions of what the offensive line could be. But it's 41 00:03:30.520 --> 00:03:34.439 a brand new offensive line. I saw something today that the Titans have like 42 00:03:34.520 --> 00:03:38.759 the least amount of returning snaps on their offensive line, which makes sense. 43 00:03:38.919 --> 00:03:44.840 So it's a new offensive line just now. Getting pads on the Titans defensive 44 00:03:44.840 --> 00:03:47.599 line should be awesome. I think that you should be just as concerned about 45 00:03:47.639 --> 00:03:52.919 the offensive line right now as we were before they ever started playing. And 46 00:03:52.960 --> 00:03:57.960 that is just a healthy amount of skepticism as to whether this new group is 47 00:03:58.000 --> 00:04:00.719 good enough. I think the Titans are probably taking an offense to blindman next 48 00:04:00.759 --> 00:04:02.400 year. In the first round of the draft too, like that'll be a 49 00:04:02.520 --> 00:04:06.319 number one top need no matter what happens here. So, UM, I 50 00:04:06.360 --> 00:04:10.439 guess I'm I'm just I feel the same way about the Titans offensive line as 51 00:04:10.479 --> 00:04:13.639 I did before, and everything that's happened just kind of confirms it, not 52 00:04:13.719 --> 00:04:17.439 really changes my mind. All right, All right, well that is well 53 00:04:17.519 --> 00:04:23.360 answered, well answered. What else would I expect? Um? I think, 54 00:04:24.079 --> 00:04:27.600 I mean, are you is it panic vote for the offensive line already? 55 00:04:27.639 --> 00:04:29.680 I mean, if you want to go that route, you might end 56 00:04:29.759 --> 00:04:31.240 up being right anyway. So I can't tell you that you're wrong, you 57 00:04:31.279 --> 00:04:36.040 know, I don't. I don't necessarily want to hit the panic button yet. 58 00:04:36.560 --> 00:04:40.920 Um, I would like to see how they do against other competition, 59 00:04:41.319 --> 00:04:45.680 you know, like I'll be more interested when the preseason starts or when we 60 00:04:45.759 --> 00:04:50.240 get the I don't now the Patriots is the never mind, that's that's further 61 00:04:50.319 --> 00:04:55.000 on, so that that joint practice will happen after the first preseason game. 62 00:04:55.079 --> 00:04:59.040 So first preseason game is when, well, when I'll actually start to judge, 63 00:04:59.519 --> 00:05:01.000 you know, what's going on and if we need to hit the panic 64 00:05:01.040 --> 00:05:04.439 button or not. You know, that's that's my whole feeling I want to 65 00:05:04.480 --> 00:05:12.199 see him against other competition. I have some very skeptical optimism at the highest 66 00:05:12.199 --> 00:05:15.560 point for this. Uh well, one thing I do really want to know 67 00:05:15.680 --> 00:05:18.480 is, because I haven't really been able to see it for myself, is 68 00:05:18.519 --> 00:05:24.639 how is Scarronsky doing? Is he is he coming along or what are we 69 00:05:24.680 --> 00:05:27.399 playing him at guard tackle? What are we doing with him right now? 70 00:05:28.240 --> 00:05:31.360 Yeah, Scarronsky's playing at guard. It's funny because when Rabel started talking about 71 00:05:31.800 --> 00:05:36.079 who could be the starter at right tackle instead of NPF, you know what 72 00:05:36.120 --> 00:05:40.439 options there were, and he was naming the internal options. He was asked 73 00:05:40.480 --> 00:05:44.759 about Scarronsky and whether Scarronsky would move to right tackle, and he basically said, 74 00:05:45.040 --> 00:05:46.519 no, we want to let him kind of settle in at guard. 75 00:05:46.600 --> 00:05:50.680 We think, and I think this is this is purely just theory from me, 76 00:05:50.920 --> 00:05:56.279 but I think Scarronsky's just awesome at guard. And they're like, listen, 77 00:05:57.079 --> 00:06:00.480 you know, we could move him out to tackle and he'll be pretty 78 00:06:00.519 --> 00:06:02.639 good, but we might have like a Pro Bowl. And I know that 79 00:06:02.720 --> 00:06:05.720 Pro Bowl doesn't mean what it used to because of the alternates and all that, 80 00:06:05.800 --> 00:06:09.639 but I think everybody has an understanding of what you mean. He may 81 00:06:09.639 --> 00:06:13.279 not be like the best top five guard in the NFL, but he might 82 00:06:13.319 --> 00:06:15.279 be like top ten, you know. So I think he could be like 83 00:06:15.319 --> 00:06:19.879 a Pro Bowl level guard immediately. And with the way the Titans play offense, 84 00:06:19.959 --> 00:06:23.759 think their zone scheme, I know they're gonna mix in more power. 85 00:06:23.920 --> 00:06:28.120 We've seen Jordan rus pulling in a video, and they're working on their power 86 00:06:28.160 --> 00:06:30.319 and their man run games. They want to diversify the run games so that 87 00:06:30.319 --> 00:06:33.560 they have answers for every defense, but they're still gonna have the bread and 88 00:06:33.560 --> 00:06:38.240 butter inside zone outside zone stuff with Dereck Henry that we're used to. And 89 00:06:38.279 --> 00:06:42.439 when you run those plays, the middle three, the guards in the center 90 00:06:42.639 --> 00:06:46.360 have to work so well together to execute those reach blocks and those scoop blocks, 91 00:06:46.639 --> 00:06:51.079 and do these double teams before they climb up the linebackers and communicate who's 92 00:06:51.120 --> 00:06:55.680 double teaming and who's climbing, and like, all of that stuff is so 93 00:06:55.759 --> 00:06:58.959 important to the Titans run game that I think when you have an excellent like 94 00:06:59.040 --> 00:07:01.079 look what Roger south Fool did when he was hearing healthy, Like he was 95 00:07:01.399 --> 00:07:05.240 awesome to have a big body guy who can just move guys and still move 96 00:07:05.319 --> 00:07:10.120 their feet too, So I think Scarronki is just so good at guard that 97 00:07:10.240 --> 00:07:14.319 they would rather Basically, if you move Scronsky to right tackle and you put 98 00:07:14.360 --> 00:07:16.759 somebody else in at left guard, now you're worse at right tackle and you're 99 00:07:16.759 --> 00:07:19.879 worse at left guard. If you leave Scarnsky at left guard, just put 100 00:07:19.879 --> 00:07:24.079 in whoever at right tackle, at least you're only worse at right tackle. 101 00:07:24.199 --> 00:07:27.839 So I think that Scronsky has the ability to play tackle, but I think 102 00:07:27.879 --> 00:07:31.160 they just want him to be a freaking awesome guard right now, and he 103 00:07:31.199 --> 00:07:34.959 can be that, and they need that more. I think long term, 104 00:07:35.079 --> 00:07:40.639 I agree, I agree, yeah personally, me personally, I think it's 105 00:07:40.639 --> 00:07:43.160 a little too early to go in panic mode. I feel like we just 106 00:07:43.199 --> 00:07:46.079 need to kill later play out. I mean usually, um usually, most 107 00:07:46.079 --> 00:07:49.399 of the time, defense is always one step ahead of the offense and train 108 00:07:49.480 --> 00:07:53.240 to count. It's just how it is, like they it's easy to jail 109 00:07:53.319 --> 00:07:58.000 as a defense than it is with an offense. And I feel like after 110 00:07:58.160 --> 00:08:01.000 last year Dennis Daily and all the rotation we had, it can't get no 111 00:08:01.040 --> 00:08:05.279 worse. So we'll definitely better be better than last year. So everybody just 112 00:08:05.360 --> 00:08:09.600 take it to everybody just take it to your pills. Just training to count. 113 00:08:09.879 --> 00:08:13.839 We do have a beast defensive line and we'll we'll get their offensive line 114 00:08:13.839 --> 00:08:18.839 would definitely be better. So everybody just chill. Yeah, I pretty much 115 00:08:18.879 --> 00:08:22.519 agree with that. You know, there's there's not really you know, too 116 00:08:22.560 --> 00:08:28.879 much to panic on right now. Um, So on to the next big 117 00:08:28.959 --> 00:08:33.159 question I had for you, Taja Sharp, he's kind of not been talked 118 00:08:33.159 --> 00:08:41.639 about or excuse me, oh my goodness, I went back in time. 119 00:08:41.559 --> 00:08:45.960 Yeah, sorry, I went back in time about ten years there, Taja 120 00:08:46.120 --> 00:08:50.440 Spears. I did it again, didn't I? Uh no, I gotta 121 00:08:50.440 --> 00:08:54.200 write the time. I wrote it down wrong, Okay, that's what I 122 00:08:54.240 --> 00:08:58.000 did. Okay. Anyway, Spears hasn't been talked about much lately. It's 123 00:08:58.080 --> 00:09:01.080 kind of been like on my mind, you know, like is he kind 124 00:09:01.080 --> 00:09:07.440 of falling out or is he just kind of like mixing in or people just 125 00:09:07.559 --> 00:09:11.399 now just starting to get used to him being awesome. Well, I think 126 00:09:11.440 --> 00:09:16.360 that with the lack of pads the last few days, I mean, they 127 00:09:16.360 --> 00:09:20.000 put the pads on now, but with the lack of pads, I don't 128 00:09:20.039 --> 00:09:22.799 think people really care what happens in the run game. You could tell me 129 00:09:22.840 --> 00:09:24.440 that somebody busted off a big run. But if there are no pads, 130 00:09:24.639 --> 00:09:28.879 I mean, you know what, the passing game is different. The passing 131 00:09:28.919 --> 00:09:33.639 game is That's why seven on seven and stuff is so critical to practice and 132 00:09:33.720 --> 00:09:37.639 what they're working on because that really does translate. But run blocking without pads 133 00:09:37.720 --> 00:09:41.320 is I mean, you're basically bird dogging it at that point and just kind 134 00:09:41.320 --> 00:09:43.440 of going through the motions of what you would do since you can't really move 135 00:09:43.440 --> 00:09:48.279 anybody around or anything. So I think with that being the case, there's 136 00:09:48.279 --> 00:09:52.279 not going to be as much pub for running backs just in general because the 137 00:09:52.320 --> 00:09:56.000 majority of where their value is just isn't respected at that time. With the 138 00:09:56.039 --> 00:09:58.840 pads coming on now this week, maybe we'll get a little bit more of 139 00:09:58.840 --> 00:10:01.320 that and there will be some more exciting in there. But I know Spears 140 00:10:01.399 --> 00:10:05.759 dropped a couple of passes in practice a couple of practices ago over the weekend 141 00:10:05.840 --> 00:10:11.000 and stuff like that, So I think he's just adjusting and learning a new 142 00:10:11.080 --> 00:10:13.559 offense. But I think that Taj Spears when the lights turn on, is 143 00:10:13.559 --> 00:10:16.600 gonna be awesome and he's gonna be somebody that people A lot of people were 144 00:10:16.600 --> 00:10:20.159 doing the whole you know, worry about his knee when he was drafted, 145 00:10:20.159 --> 00:10:22.080 and that kind of killed some of the excitement about him as a player. 146 00:10:22.120 --> 00:10:26.519 But I think he's a three down running back who can catch the ball out 147 00:10:26.519 --> 00:10:28.519 of the backfield. I don't think he's quite you know, Alvin Kamara or 148 00:10:28.799 --> 00:10:33.240 anything Christian McCaffrey level catching the ball out of the backfield. I just think 149 00:10:33.240 --> 00:10:35.720 that he can do it. But he can also run the ball and actually 150 00:10:35.720 --> 00:10:37.879 spell Derek Henry for some carry. So I think he's gonna have more value 151 00:10:37.879 --> 00:10:41.559 than people realize. But I think just circumstance and maybe him coming along a 152 00:10:41.639 --> 00:10:46.120 little slow has led to not a lot of conversation I guess about him. 153 00:10:48.320 --> 00:10:50.600 That was a big thing with me with Spears is that I was really excited 154 00:10:50.639 --> 00:10:54.159 about it. I need him to take carries off of Dereck Henry's workload. 155 00:10:54.279 --> 00:11:01.519 Yeahs, I'm just not sold on Hassan Haskins at all, and especially with 156 00:11:01.519 --> 00:11:05.480 all the turmoil it's been going on this offseason with him. Who knows what's 157 00:11:05.480 --> 00:11:09.840 going to happen with him, So really I really want Spears to succeed. 158 00:11:09.200 --> 00:11:15.600 I saw the report about his knee apparently not having much cartilage left in his 159 00:11:15.639 --> 00:11:18.080 knee at all. So I don't know if there's any more reports that have 160 00:11:18.159 --> 00:11:22.360 come out on that, or if we know anything more about that now or 161 00:11:22.679 --> 00:11:26.679 what's going on. I think it's just we know what we know. He 162 00:11:26.720 --> 00:11:31.600 had two ACL tears in the same knee. There's no ACL left in the 163 00:11:31.679 --> 00:11:35.639 knee. He's probably not going to be able to have the longest career of 164 00:11:35.679 --> 00:11:39.799 all time. Maybe he will, but I think the reality always was that 165 00:11:39.120 --> 00:11:41.720 for better or for worse. I don't want to get into the whole running 166 00:11:41.720 --> 00:11:46.279 back philosophical debate, but the smart thing to do with running backs is now 167 00:11:46.360 --> 00:11:50.120 draft them, keep them for their rookie contract, let him leave afterwards, 168 00:11:50.120 --> 00:11:54.840 and draft somebody new. And from the Titans perspective, it may seem inhumane 169 00:11:56.039 --> 00:12:01.039 to talk about players like this, but the reality is the Titans should probably 170 00:12:01.080 --> 00:12:05.480 just keep Taj Spears for the four years of his rookie contract and then let 171 00:12:05.519 --> 00:12:09.639 him go in draft a new, cheaper, younger Taj Spears again. You 172 00:12:09.679 --> 00:12:13.320 know, that's just it's unfortunate. Like I said, it's very inhumane to 173 00:12:13.480 --> 00:12:18.200 say it that way, but that's just the way that is right, you 174 00:12:18.240 --> 00:12:20.840 know. And like all of this, John and Jonathan Taylor's stuff is happening, 175 00:12:22.000 --> 00:12:24.919 and like even go back to Edri and James replaced Marshall fault because they 176 00:12:24.919 --> 00:12:28.240 didn't want to pay, and Joseph and I replaced Edri and James because they 177 00:12:28.240 --> 00:12:31.000 didn't want to pay. Just an example in the division, like this has 178 00:12:31.039 --> 00:12:35.000 been going on for a long time and now it's just in the public consciousness. 179 00:12:35.360 --> 00:12:39.159 But I feel bad from the Taja Spears angle. I wouldn't want to 180 00:12:39.159 --> 00:12:41.720 hear this if I was his friend or his family. But the truth is 181 00:12:41.720 --> 00:12:45.080 the Titans probably just keep him the four years and let him go, and 182 00:12:45.120 --> 00:12:48.840 then a knee injury that will limit how long he can play isn't even a 183 00:12:48.879 --> 00:12:50.799 factor because you're only keeping him four years anyway. So I guess I didn't 184 00:12:50.840 --> 00:12:56.759 have I didn't have a lot of concerns about the injury news because he tours 185 00:12:56.799 --> 00:13:01.399 ACL last in twenty twenty, which means he played two seasons without that ACL, 186 00:13:01.720 --> 00:13:05.440 right, and those were great seasons, and he played great last year, 187 00:13:05.720 --> 00:13:09.360 so clearly he could play without the ACL And if the issue is long 188 00:13:09.519 --> 00:13:13.080 term, you know, then the Titans probably won't have him long term anyway, 189 00:13:13.080 --> 00:13:15.279 because that's how the running back position is. So I just don't see 190 00:13:15.320 --> 00:13:18.600 the downside really at that time, unless you just say you shouldn't draft a 191 00:13:18.639 --> 00:13:22.879 running back in the third round anyway, go later, you know whatever. 192 00:13:22.240 --> 00:13:26.360 I did see one person that was like, well, you can't tear an 193 00:13:26.360 --> 00:13:30.840 A c L if you don't have it, so that's a plus, right 194 00:13:31.039 --> 00:13:35.440 right, Yeah, you brought up my you brought up my counterpoint that Tyler 195 00:13:35.600 --> 00:13:41.480 was that all the highlight reels you watch on Taj Spears is him without the 196 00:13:41.559 --> 00:13:46.639 A c L like ninety percent of all of them, or him without an 197 00:13:46.639 --> 00:13:50.799 A c L. Right, So I'm not worried about it. I think 198 00:13:50.799 --> 00:13:58.240 he's gonna be fantastic at this level. Yeah, yeah, for sure. 199 00:14:00.399 --> 00:14:03.759 All right. So the other big question I had for you is how much 200 00:14:03.840 --> 00:14:11.960 does having d hop improve Traylon Burkes and his play. I think it's huge. 201 00:14:11.120 --> 00:14:13.759 So as I kind of did earlier when we talked about how like the 202 00:14:13.879 --> 00:14:18.000 zone scheme, how important it is for the interior three, I'm going to 203 00:14:18.120 --> 00:14:22.840 dive into something that's a little scheme related here too, And I think any 204 00:14:22.879 --> 00:14:26.879 Titans fan listening can picture the play in their mind. I feel like Matthew 205 00:14:26.960 --> 00:14:31.159 McConaughey and a time to kill. Close your eyes and picture for me if 206 00:14:31.159 --> 00:14:35.200 you will. But literally, the Titans have two tight ends, one on 207 00:14:35.240 --> 00:14:39.720 each side of the offensive line, Derrick Henry in the backfield, two wide 208 00:14:39.759 --> 00:14:43.720 receivers, one on each side. They play action to Derrick Henry. One 209 00:14:43.720 --> 00:14:48.120 of the wide receivers runs a deep post. The other wide receiver runs a 210 00:14:48.399 --> 00:14:52.360 medium crosser or a bang route or strike route, whatever you want to call 211 00:14:52.399 --> 00:14:56.000 it. That medium route to a J. Brown always caught over the middle 212 00:14:56.039 --> 00:15:00.480 of the field. All play action. So the way that imagine that play 213 00:15:00.480 --> 00:15:03.399 in your head and then think about how defenses play the Titans. There's eight 214 00:15:03.399 --> 00:15:05.000 men in the box. Have you got eight men in the box? That 215 00:15:05.080 --> 00:15:09.360 means you only have three men out of the box, which means you're probably 216 00:15:09.399 --> 00:15:13.080 running a single high safety. You got one safety deep, your other safety's 217 00:15:13.080 --> 00:15:15.559 down in the box. When you do that, the Titans are going to 218 00:15:15.679 --> 00:15:18.200 run a deep post against it with one of their wide receivers. And that 219 00:15:18.240 --> 00:15:22.320 intermediate route. Well, now that it's DeAndre Hopkins running the intermediate route over 220 00:15:22.320 --> 00:15:26.480 the middle of the field instead of Nick Westbrook, Aquine or Chris Moore, 221 00:15:28.720 --> 00:15:31.639 I mean, lord, instead of it being one of those guys, now 222 00:15:31.679 --> 00:15:35.600 it's DeAndre Hollis. If you're that deep, if you're that deep safety, 223 00:15:35.840 --> 00:15:41.840 if you're that deep safety, are you gonna come down? And we've seen 224 00:15:41.840 --> 00:15:45.600 Tannehill get picked like this a bunch that deep safety says, I'm not even 225 00:15:45.639 --> 00:15:50.000 worried about who's going behind me. I'm coming down hill to take away that 226 00:15:50.080 --> 00:15:52.480 medium route, that intermediate route over the middle, and I'm picking off Ryan 227 00:15:52.519 --> 00:15:56.360 Tannehill, who's trying to drill it in there thinking he's got space from the 228 00:15:56.360 --> 00:15:58.320 play act. All right, Well, when it's Nick Westbrook, a Kine 229 00:15:58.440 --> 00:16:02.840 or Robert Wood, it's running that deep post. I'm going downhill on Traylan 230 00:16:02.919 --> 00:16:04.919 Burks. I'm going downhill on the short throw. I know Tannehill wants to 231 00:16:04.919 --> 00:16:08.600 make well. When you got Burks running the deep route and Hopkins over the 232 00:16:08.639 --> 00:16:12.399 middle, now the safety has to seriously ask themselves what they're gonna do. 233 00:16:12.480 --> 00:16:15.559 And they're gonna hit the Hopkins over the middle a couple of times. The 234 00:16:15.639 --> 00:16:19.320 safety's gonna get a little impatient. He's gonna take one step forward and then 235 00:16:19.360 --> 00:16:23.399 a six foot two monster is gonna go past him and jump overtop him and 236 00:16:23.480 --> 00:16:26.799 the cornerback and take down the ball, just like trailing Burks did to who 237 00:16:26.879 --> 00:16:30.960 jaire Alexander one of the best cornerbacks in the entire NFL as a rookie. 238 00:16:32.440 --> 00:16:36.440 Now he's in better shape. Now, he's slimmer, faster, more confident. 239 00:16:36.639 --> 00:16:40.080 He's coaching up Coltondow right now, instead of like he kind of admitted 240 00:16:40.159 --> 00:16:42.600 last year, not really knowing the plays a ton and having to ask people 241 00:16:42.840 --> 00:16:47.440 to give him information. You know, he's a totally different player now, 242 00:16:47.480 --> 00:16:52.720 totally different confidence comfortability level. So I think that Burks has the chance to 243 00:16:52.759 --> 00:16:59.480 have better numbers than DeAndre Hopkins because people are more worried about DeAndre Hopkins and 244 00:16:59.559 --> 00:17:02.720 Burkes's gonna catch all these deep passes because safeties are going to be creeping on 245 00:17:02.799 --> 00:17:06.559 Hopkins. So there's nobody I mean, Tannehill, you could make the argument, 246 00:17:06.799 --> 00:17:11.240 but nobody benefited from the Hopkins staying more than than Trailing Burks. If 247 00:17:11.240 --> 00:17:15.720 you go pass Ryan Tannehill for us, the fans, for the offense that 248 00:17:15.720 --> 00:17:19.039 we have to watch each week. Yeah, yeah, I guess I'll put 249 00:17:19.119 --> 00:17:29.200 Burke's third when we take Yeah. Absolutely, man, I truly think that 250 00:17:29.720 --> 00:17:32.599 tray Lin's gonna ball out this year. I thought he was gonna ball out 251 00:17:32.640 --> 00:17:36.960 anyway. But now that you take the pressure off of being that number one 252 00:17:37.039 --> 00:17:38.880 guy that you have to be the number one guy, you know, now 253 00:17:38.920 --> 00:17:42.079 you can be one A or one B or whatever you want to call it, 254 00:17:42.599 --> 00:17:47.079 one and two however you want to dish it out. But yeah, 255 00:17:47.119 --> 00:17:51.000 I think he's gonna do so much better now that he has somebody that can 256 00:17:51.039 --> 00:17:55.160 actually perform next to him. He doesn't have to really worry about. Like 257 00:17:55.160 --> 00:18:00.559 you said, Nick Westbrook, a Keene or Chris Moore or Kyle Phillips or 258 00:18:00.599 --> 00:18:06.759 whoever would have made that second spot is nowhere near as talented as DeAndre Hopkins. 259 00:18:06.759 --> 00:18:08.400 And that's the point I think if we look at the flip side of 260 00:18:08.440 --> 00:18:11.680 that too. I mean, we go through two or three games where we're 261 00:18:11.720 --> 00:18:14.960 burning people deep that are trying to load the box on us. They're gonna 262 00:18:14.960 --> 00:18:18.000 have to put him more dvs to be able to cover these guys, even 263 00:18:18.079 --> 00:18:22.359 Chig. I mean, Chig is basically a huge receiver, so who can 264 00:18:22.440 --> 00:18:23.920 block. So, I mean, this guy is a monster too, so 265 00:18:23.960 --> 00:18:27.440 you're gonna have to put in somebody who can cover him. So this is 266 00:18:27.440 --> 00:18:32.119 going to open up for Derek Henry now and help the offensive line out too, 267 00:18:32.119 --> 00:18:36.559 because they're not going five on eight every play hopefully, you know, 268 00:18:36.799 --> 00:18:38.599 So as we get on into the season, I'm hoping that's what happens to 269 00:18:38.680 --> 00:18:42.599 it. He opens up the entire offense and helps out Henry too, who 270 00:18:42.680 --> 00:18:47.720 takes off once again, some of the workload off of him because he's I 271 00:18:47.759 --> 00:18:51.599 mean, it's only a matter of time the guy's running back who's taking twenty 272 00:18:51.599 --> 00:18:55.759 thousand carries in his lifetime. So well, and that's a really good point 273 00:18:55.799 --> 00:18:57.720 too, man. I mean, you know, you look at Henry's yard 274 00:18:57.799 --> 00:19:02.880 per carry. It's went down over the last couple of seasons. It's obvious 275 00:19:03.039 --> 00:19:06.400 because we can't pass the ball, you know, and everybody can load up 276 00:19:06.440 --> 00:19:08.319 against Derrick Henry. So I mean, if we if we can prove that 277 00:19:08.440 --> 00:19:12.440 we can pass the ball efficiently and not you know, have to rely on 278 00:19:12.480 --> 00:19:17.759 the run to win a game, then it forces defenses to back off of 279 00:19:17.799 --> 00:19:22.240 Henry, which just opens up a whole field for Henry and gives him. 280 00:19:22.359 --> 00:19:25.720 Yeah. Yeah, it just makes everybody on the offense more productive. Yea. 281 00:19:27.039 --> 00:19:30.559 Yeah, with the with the persons and nel we have right now offense, 282 00:19:30.640 --> 00:19:33.839 I feel like Tim Kelly can he can just open it up like he's 283 00:19:33.839 --> 00:19:37.200 almost like playing mad, Like we got so much stuff we can do on 284 00:19:37.319 --> 00:19:41.440 offense, Hopkins. Hopkins made it to where we can do so many different 285 00:19:41.480 --> 00:19:45.720 things, you know, and we can cut out the bullcrap plays like the 286 00:19:45.799 --> 00:19:52.119 jet sweeps with Malik Willis and the screen passes to tight ends who can't really 287 00:19:52.200 --> 00:19:56.920 run. Like that stuff is gone. Man, it's like Todd that stuff 288 00:19:56.000 --> 00:20:00.240 left with Tide downing. And that's Tim Kelly. We need you to we 289 00:20:00.279 --> 00:20:04.119 need you to turn our passing game unto a top level passing game. We 290 00:20:04.200 --> 00:20:08.039 got the receivers for it, We're working on getting the offensive line, and 291 00:20:08.119 --> 00:20:12.359 we got the running back that can you know, run the ball and actually 292 00:20:12.440 --> 00:20:15.559 put a fear on the defense that we might run it now that we got 293 00:20:15.680 --> 00:20:19.079 at a real passing game. So like, hey man, it's a lot 294 00:20:19.079 --> 00:20:22.920 of the sky is the limit for our offense. I feel like we're definitely 295 00:20:22.920 --> 00:20:26.079 gonna be a threat. And Hopkins just put the icing on the cake. 296 00:20:26.160 --> 00:20:32.319 So so I'm hoping for no more three tight end first and tens. That's 297 00:20:32.480 --> 00:20:37.039 that's my for this season. I mean, don't put too much hope in 298 00:20:37.039 --> 00:20:41.079 that, Tim Kelly. I mean, I think we should all be excited. 299 00:20:41.119 --> 00:20:45.119 People kind of laughed when I wrote this article back in like February or 300 00:20:45.119 --> 00:20:49.359 whatever. But Mike Rabel said, after Tim Kelly was hired, the three 301 00:20:49.400 --> 00:20:53.079 things that Tim Kelly was most involved in last year with the offense, and 302 00:20:53.119 --> 00:20:56.039 he said it was the red zone offense, he said, it was early 303 00:20:56.119 --> 00:21:00.079 down passing, and then he worked with the tight ends in individually. Well, 304 00:21:00.160 --> 00:21:03.880 the tight ends last year, Chicka con Quo took a big step, 305 00:21:04.279 --> 00:21:07.880 you know what I mean, So you gotta give him credit for that. 306 00:21:07.359 --> 00:21:11.119 Not only that, but early down passing. I don't know if you guys 307 00:21:11.119 --> 00:21:14.119 have seen the stuff that Warren Sharpe shared, but the Titans were one of 308 00:21:14.160 --> 00:21:18.519 the top fourteen most efficient teams passing the ball on early downs last year. 309 00:21:18.599 --> 00:21:23.240 The Titans early down passing was good. The reason that Todd Downing was a 310 00:21:23.319 --> 00:21:27.039 fool is because he didn't pass it enough. The Titans had like the second 311 00:21:27.160 --> 00:21:33.400 highest run rate on first down with the like third least efficient rush offense. 312 00:21:33.640 --> 00:21:37.839 And they had like a top fourteen, top twelve passing efficiency offense on early 313 00:21:37.880 --> 00:21:41.839 downs but through it like the fourth least. So they were just doing they 314 00:21:41.839 --> 00:21:45.680 were doing early down passing, well, they just wouldn't do it, and 315 00:21:45.799 --> 00:21:48.200 we don't know why. We'll never know why, you know. But either 316 00:21:48.240 --> 00:21:53.119 way, Todd Downing's gar and hopefully Tim Kelly continues what he was a big 317 00:21:53.119 --> 00:21:56.000 part of last year. And red zone. I mean, I think at 318 00:21:56.000 --> 00:22:00.680 the top of my head the Titans were top five red zone offense, maybe 319 00:22:00.720 --> 00:22:03.920 even number one. I knew that they were number one. Yeah, they 320 00:22:03.960 --> 00:22:07.279 were number one in goal to ghost situations on the one guardline. So like 321 00:22:07.599 --> 00:22:12.519 the Titans are great in the red zone, which Tim Kelly was responsible for, 322 00:22:12.960 --> 00:22:17.000 they were great throwing the ball and early down tim Kelly was responsible for 323 00:22:17.400 --> 00:22:21.000 Chicken Conquo took a big step. He was involved in the tight end development. 324 00:22:21.119 --> 00:22:23.880 So I think based on what Tim Kelly did last year, we should 325 00:22:23.880 --> 00:22:27.960 be excited about this offense because I think it could be completely different and he's 326 00:22:27.960 --> 00:22:30.839 actually going to look to get the ball too. I remember last year in 327 00:22:30.880 --> 00:22:34.319 a press conference, it was Mike Rabel or top Downing, but one of 328 00:22:34.400 --> 00:22:37.720 them said, like, we're not looking to like force a guy the ball. 329 00:22:37.759 --> 00:22:41.279 We want to run like smart plays and stuff like that. And it's 330 00:22:41.279 --> 00:22:44.200 like every other offensive coach in the league is like how do I get my 331 00:22:44.200 --> 00:22:47.599 best players the ball the most in the best situations. And the Titans are 332 00:22:47.599 --> 00:22:48.559 like, we don't want to do that. We just want to run our 333 00:22:48.680 --> 00:22:52.799 plays. And it's like, what are we doing? So I'm hoping that 334 00:22:53.160 --> 00:22:56.400 Tim Kelly obviously doesn't do that, and they've learned and based on some of 335 00:22:56.440 --> 00:23:00.599 the reports of the type of plays they're running, the way they're getting guys 336 00:23:00.640 --> 00:23:03.960 the ball, it seems like Tim Kelly understands that that is what he has 337 00:23:03.000 --> 00:23:07.160 to do. Right right, I'm excited about Tim Kelly. I was excited 338 00:23:07.160 --> 00:23:11.920 about to hire. Everybody kind of got upset in the fan base about the 339 00:23:11.960 --> 00:23:14.680 inside hire, and I was like, you guys are not looking at the 340 00:23:14.720 --> 00:23:17.440 stats. You're not looking at what he did the last time he was an 341 00:23:17.440 --> 00:23:22.599 offensive coordinator. But you know whatever, It's okay. But I know we're 342 00:23:22.599 --> 00:23:27.079 getting close to your time. So I want to ask you. I saw 343 00:23:27.079 --> 00:23:36.279 a post earlier on Twitter. Oh we lost your audio. Oh I said 344 00:23:36.319 --> 00:23:37.880 we could do a little overtime. M ain't going anywhere? All right? 345 00:23:37.920 --> 00:23:42.799 Cool? Well, look, I wanted to ask you about the fans at 346 00:23:42.880 --> 00:23:48.160 camp. If I don't know, if you watch my show, I'm sure 347 00:23:48.200 --> 00:23:52.440 you don't, but if there is. I've been kind of on a like 348 00:23:52.480 --> 00:23:57.440 a rant lately about the fans at camp, and it's a thing for me 349 00:23:57.519 --> 00:24:00.920 because I used to be. I've been a fan for a long time, 350 00:24:02.440 --> 00:24:07.640 so you know, Titans caravan, all that stuff. I've been a part 351 00:24:07.680 --> 00:24:10.880 of all that because I live in well, right outside of Knoxville. So 352 00:24:11.440 --> 00:24:15.640 any chance I get to go actually be a part of the Titans, I 353 00:24:15.759 --> 00:24:18.839 do. I drive, and I was happy to drive all the way to 354 00:24:18.920 --> 00:24:23.160 Knoxville like or Nashville like four times a year. I think it was open 355 00:24:23.200 --> 00:24:29.039 to the public or whatever. You could come in and and the last time 356 00:24:29.079 --> 00:24:32.359 I had a football guest on I think last week. I asked him, 357 00:24:32.400 --> 00:24:36.480 Mike Patton, what the you know, what their deal was with that, 358 00:24:36.559 --> 00:24:38.039 and he's, well, they've been building a lot of new facilities. They 359 00:24:38.079 --> 00:24:41.519 don't really have a lot of room. Where the stands were is kind of 360 00:24:41.559 --> 00:24:47.359 not there anymore. And I don't know. I just I hate it that 361 00:24:47.400 --> 00:24:49.920 they've made this. Not only have they made it to where you had to 362 00:24:49.960 --> 00:24:53.279 be a season ticket holder last year, but now they have this lottery for 363 00:24:53.319 --> 00:24:59.119 the season ticket holders just to get into their practices. I don't know, 364 00:24:59.200 --> 00:25:03.480 I feel like it's disconnection from the fans because I'm part of an AFC South 365 00:25:03.640 --> 00:25:10.160 network. They cover all the all the shows in the AFC South and so 366 00:25:10.519 --> 00:25:15.519 um basically, like you know, I get to see all the other shows 367 00:25:15.119 --> 00:25:19.599 and I see that the you know, the cults are are letting their They're 368 00:25:19.640 --> 00:25:23.519 letting their fans in, you know, just like a lot of other teams 369 00:25:23.559 --> 00:25:27.200 do. And I just don't understand why the Titans. I mean, I 370 00:25:27.240 --> 00:25:33.720 know they're really strict about who can and can't be in their facilities or around 371 00:25:33.759 --> 00:25:37.680 their facilities. I know the seven on sevens, they don't you know, 372 00:25:37.799 --> 00:25:41.519 videotape that stuff, and they don't ever allow even media to do stuff with 373 00:25:41.559 --> 00:25:47.240 that. I get all that, but it just kills me as a fan. 374 00:25:47.279 --> 00:25:49.759 I feel like I'm disconnected from my team. I wish my team made 375 00:25:49.759 --> 00:25:53.880 more of an effort to connect with me. Again. Yeah, I think 376 00:25:53.880 --> 00:25:57.240 that's a fair complaint. And uh, you hinted at it, because I'm 377 00:25:57.240 --> 00:26:03.039 sure you know that I've been complaining about it for years now. I don't 378 00:26:03.200 --> 00:26:07.839 understand the titans restrictive nature, how they want to restrict access. They It's 379 00:26:07.839 --> 00:26:12.119 almost like they think they're restricting access to other teams, but they're only hurting 380 00:26:12.160 --> 00:26:18.079 their own fans. I'm sorry, but the Kansas City Chiefs allow all their 381 00:26:18.160 --> 00:26:22.839 fans. The Kansas City Chiefs allow full taping of their practices. Eleven on 382 00:26:22.920 --> 00:26:26.319 eleven, seven on seven, Like we hear about these old trailing Burke's caught 383 00:26:26.319 --> 00:26:27.680 a one handed pass in the back of the endside, like Rabel threw his 384 00:26:27.759 --> 00:26:33.039 hands up and yelled touchdown. Will Levis through three straight touchdown passes. We 385 00:26:33.079 --> 00:26:37.359 would see all of that. If the Titans were like the Chiefs or the 386 00:26:37.400 --> 00:26:40.880 Bengals, or the Jets, or the Buccaneers or you know, we could 387 00:26:40.960 --> 00:26:44.200 keep going. Most of the teams in the NFL aren't as restrictive as the 388 00:26:44.240 --> 00:26:47.440 Titans. And when you see teams like the Bengals, and you see teams 389 00:26:47.480 --> 00:26:49.200 like the Chiefs, and people can say, oh, well, I got 390 00:26:49.200 --> 00:26:53.519 responses, oh Joe Burrow, Pat Mahomes. You could show anybody anything and 391 00:26:53.559 --> 00:26:56.680 it won't matter stop it. These teams have been this way for a long 392 00:26:56.720 --> 00:27:00.119 time. It's not like they just got Pat Mahomes and they're like, you 393 00:27:00.119 --> 00:27:03.000 know what, we didn't show anybody anything because we think it's going to hurt 394 00:27:03.000 --> 00:27:07.000 our chances to win. But now we have Pat Mahomes and we're so good 395 00:27:07.000 --> 00:27:10.599 that we'll just let everybody see. That's not the point. These teams do 396 00:27:10.640 --> 00:27:14.880 it and allow it because they want their fans to experience it. They want 397 00:27:14.880 --> 00:27:18.240 their fans to feel connected to the team at practice. And if the Titans 398 00:27:18.240 --> 00:27:21.920 are sitting in their offices right now and saying, well, not letting our 399 00:27:21.960 --> 00:27:25.000 fans see it helps us win games in the fall, like, it's just 400 00:27:25.079 --> 00:27:29.839 foolishness. It's absolute foolishness. It doesn't matter, you know. And the 401 00:27:29.920 --> 00:27:33.279 same people who will come on and say, oh, who cares if Will 402 00:27:33.359 --> 00:27:37.079 Levis throst three touchdowns and practice it's just practice, blah blah blah, are 403 00:27:37.079 --> 00:27:38.440 the same people that come on my post and say, oh, it's no 404 00:27:38.519 --> 00:27:41.920 big deal to me. I don't need to see more of the Titans blah 405 00:27:41.920 --> 00:27:45.319 blah blah. It's like, how can you have it both ways? Does 406 00:27:45.359 --> 00:27:47.960 it matter? Does it not matter? Don't you want to see it? 407 00:27:48.160 --> 00:27:52.880 There is no argument from the fans that makes any sense to argue that they 408 00:27:52.880 --> 00:27:56.160 want to see less of their team. I want to see less highlights. 409 00:27:56.200 --> 00:28:00.559 I want to see less stuff football is entered, amen, I want to 410 00:28:00.599 --> 00:28:04.000 be entertained by this team. I spend money on, spend my time on, 411 00:28:04.359 --> 00:28:08.079 spend my energy on. I want to be entertained. And if all 412 00:28:08.119 --> 00:28:12.200 these other teams, it's like if you and all your buddies, all of 413 00:28:12.240 --> 00:28:18.000 their wives let them go play golf once a week, and you're the only 414 00:28:18.039 --> 00:28:21.920 one who doesn't get to go play golf once a week, and you come 415 00:28:21.960 --> 00:28:25.000 to me and say, actually, I love my life my wife for she 416 00:28:25.039 --> 00:28:26.640 doesn't let you golf. She just wants me around so much. She loves 417 00:28:26.640 --> 00:28:30.759 me more than your wives. It's like nonsense to me, you know what 418 00:28:30.799 --> 00:28:33.680 I mean? Like, that's how I feel about the Titan's not showing stuff. 419 00:28:33.000 --> 00:28:37.559 Like it's just like, are they fooling themselves or do they just want 420 00:28:37.559 --> 00:28:41.759 to make it less fun for us? I don't know. There is a 421 00:28:41.799 --> 00:28:45.599 lot. I'm I'm with you in that rant, and I appreciate you fighting 422 00:28:45.640 --> 00:28:51.279 that fight. You can't because I don't know. I get so much crazy 423 00:28:51.279 --> 00:28:53.680 pushback from people who want to purposefully want to see what it's like. The 424 00:28:53.680 --> 00:28:57.440 people who go on your podcast in the comments and say, oh, why 425 00:28:57.440 --> 00:29:00.000 are you talking about that? Well, what do you mean? What do 426 00:29:00.039 --> 00:29:03.160 you want to talk about? Do you want there to be no podcast? 427 00:29:03.240 --> 00:29:04.440 Do you not want to talk about the types of period? Would you rather 428 00:29:04.480 --> 00:29:08.079 focus on your work? You are on your lunch break watching a YouTube channel 429 00:29:08.279 --> 00:29:14.799 because any topic about the Titans is still entertaining, and it's better than not 430 00:29:14.920 --> 00:29:19.279 having conversation about the Titans. So more Titans, more content, more podcasts, 431 00:29:19.279 --> 00:29:23.079 more more. Why not be entertained? Why aren't you against more entertainment? 432 00:29:23.640 --> 00:29:29.359 Yes, thank you, thank you. I'm always and that's and that's 433 00:29:29.440 --> 00:29:33.519 really a thing though, like, uh, fortunately my kids and my wife 434 00:29:33.559 --> 00:29:36.359 they got to go to training camp today, but uh, and they have 435 00:29:36.480 --> 00:29:38.880 fun. But they said the titles were real strict about cell phones, no 436 00:29:40.480 --> 00:29:44.359 recording. They said they were kicking people. They were kicking you out if 437 00:29:44.359 --> 00:29:48.400 they cut you with your cell phones and banning you. So like it's serious. 438 00:29:48.440 --> 00:29:52.160 But I just don't understand it. Why it wants to Well, they 439 00:29:52.200 --> 00:29:56.440 think they're gonna score three extra points against the Dolphins in week fifteen or whatever, 440 00:29:56.519 --> 00:30:00.799 like come on, man, let your fans, let's take a video 441 00:30:00.240 --> 00:30:11.440 like doing it. Well, they're not scheming for a specific team or something 442 00:30:11.519 --> 00:30:14.599 like that. I understand if it was like the week before preseason, all 443 00:30:14.720 --> 00:30:15.759 right, I give you. You know you don't want to see that, 444 00:30:15.759 --> 00:30:21.200 that's fine, But when you're like the first two, that's different. Different. 445 00:30:21.519 --> 00:30:23.240 Now, yeah, no team does that. No team is putting out 446 00:30:23.240 --> 00:30:27.680 full practice of team drills during practice for the season, you know, but 447 00:30:27.920 --> 00:30:32.559 tons of teams and and all the teams that win more than the Titans in 448 00:30:32.599 --> 00:30:34.799 the last few years. I'll do it. So don't tell me like it's 449 00:30:34.799 --> 00:30:38.799 not like Joe Burrows losing a game because somebody filmed in eleven on eleven Rep 450 00:30:38.880 --> 00:30:42.200 in June or July. Like, come on, man, just give your 451 00:30:42.480 --> 00:30:47.160 give your fans more. We deserve it, That's what I'm saying. And 452 00:30:47.519 --> 00:30:49.920 like I was showing you every single signature on that head, I got it 453 00:30:51.000 --> 00:30:53.279 a training camp and I felt like, you know, you actually get to 454 00:30:53.319 --> 00:30:56.559 talk to the players, you get to meet them. I mean it human 455 00:30:56.680 --> 00:31:00.240 pictures them, you know what I mean? YEA makes you feel like you're 456 00:31:02.079 --> 00:31:04.519 you know more. I don't know, maybe I'm just a weird guy, 457 00:31:04.599 --> 00:31:07.839 but I just feel like I'm more connected to a person if I can actually 458 00:31:07.880 --> 00:31:14.839 talk to them face to face, then if they're yeah right. And the 459 00:31:14.880 --> 00:31:18.119 more you see them, the more videos you see players, the more interviews, 460 00:31:18.119 --> 00:31:22.559 you see players, all that stuff absolutely like it just brings the customer 461 00:31:22.599 --> 00:31:27.400 to the product directly. And I just I just want somebody from their public 462 00:31:27.440 --> 00:31:33.319 relations department to just tell me why they have stuck with this restricted policy on 463 00:31:33.440 --> 00:31:37.799 media. And I can't speak as much to like the local fans stuff and 464 00:31:37.839 --> 00:31:41.160 everything like that, but at least from like what they're allowed to put out 465 00:31:41.160 --> 00:31:44.279 on social media and stuff. I just want to what they're even if their 466 00:31:44.319 --> 00:31:48.079 explanation is awful and they tell me we think it's a competitive advantage. Even 467 00:31:48.079 --> 00:31:51.799 if that's their answer, at least admit it and say it publicly so we 468 00:31:51.839 --> 00:31:55.759 can shame you, thank you, thank you, yea, and say this 469 00:31:55.880 --> 00:31:59.799 is why you know. Yeah, I'm right there with y'all on that matter. 470 00:32:00.039 --> 00:32:02.880 And the thing that really gets me about it is we're constantly talked about 471 00:32:04.000 --> 00:32:07.559 is one of the lower fan bases in the NFL where to constantly talked about 472 00:32:07.640 --> 00:32:12.480 is one of the worst social media teams in the NFL, worst content, 473 00:32:12.799 --> 00:32:17.960 and it's it's like what we're doing is not working, so let's change something 474 00:32:19.039 --> 00:32:21.880 up. And like you said that, if the Chiefs do it, it 475 00:32:21.960 --> 00:32:25.960 can't be that bad. They're obviously it's not hurting them. They're doing pretty 476 00:32:27.000 --> 00:32:30.559 well. And the Bengals the Eagles. The Eagles beat reporters tweet out like, 477 00:32:31.200 --> 00:32:35.920 uh. For example, they'd be like Elijah Moulden lined up in the 478 00:32:36.039 --> 00:32:40.359 nickel spot and rotated with Roger McCreery three times during all full team periods. 479 00:32:40.680 --> 00:32:45.359 They ran a hook zone three times, he ran a flat route three times. 480 00:32:45.359 --> 00:32:49.519 But like the Eagles tell you exactly what play they ran and where everybody's 481 00:32:49.519 --> 00:32:52.640 at in full lineup descriptions. It's like, well, no wonder they didn't 482 00:32:52.640 --> 00:32:55.799 win the Super Bowl last year. I guess it's because they show their training 483 00:32:55.799 --> 00:33:00.440 camp stuff too much, you know, like exactly what are we talk about 484 00:33:00.480 --> 00:33:02.519 them? What are we doing? But anyway, this is this is a 485 00:33:02.759 --> 00:33:08.160 very uh first world problems pie in the sky man yells at cloud things. 486 00:33:08.160 --> 00:33:10.920 So I guess we could talk about the actual team if you guys want. 487 00:33:12.440 --> 00:33:15.559 Yeah, all right, So last, last, last actual team question I 488 00:33:15.640 --> 00:33:22.359 got for you man, is the the rotation between Monty Rice and Jack Uh. 489 00:33:22.440 --> 00:33:25.839 Well, that was the most interesting thing of the day in my opinion, 490 00:33:25.880 --> 00:33:30.400 other than than the Will Levis thing that kind of flew under the radar 491 00:33:30.440 --> 00:33:32.759 too. Yeah, I agree, look, I'm I'm a I'm a big 492 00:33:32.799 --> 00:33:37.680 Bulldogs fan. If we're talking about college ball, I know a lot of 493 00:33:37.720 --> 00:33:42.880 my my my associates here in Knoxville hate that. But oh well, um 494 00:33:42.920 --> 00:33:46.400 so I really want to see Monty Rice, you know, produced. I 495 00:33:46.480 --> 00:33:52.759 want to see him produce. But he just doesn't seem to be able to 496 00:33:52.839 --> 00:33:57.319 produce in the passing game. He doesn't seem to be able to to run 497 00:33:57.359 --> 00:34:00.880 with receivers or even tight ends really well, you know, he doesn't. 498 00:34:00.920 --> 00:34:02.559 I don't know, he just doesn't seem to get that aspect of it. 499 00:34:02.599 --> 00:34:06.960 Really well. He's really good at run defense, you know, he's quick 500 00:34:06.960 --> 00:34:09.800 sideline to sideline, that kind of guy. But even Rabel had an interview 501 00:34:09.840 --> 00:34:15.719 where he was talking about how Gibbey was just lengthy and just better at pass 502 00:34:15.760 --> 00:34:19.679 pro you know, And I don't know what what's your take on that. 503 00:34:19.760 --> 00:34:22.000 Do you think that's something we might actually see in the season as it goes 504 00:34:22.039 --> 00:34:30.519 along or I mean, I personally, I'm not as high on money or 505 00:34:30.559 --> 00:34:34.119 ice as a lot of people. I think a lot of people kind of 506 00:34:34.159 --> 00:34:37.960 viewed money as like linebacker one coming in, He's gonna take that next step, 507 00:34:37.960 --> 00:34:40.679 He's the next David Long, and I just I don't know. I 508 00:34:40.719 --> 00:34:46.079 think he's got ability. He is speedy, especially he's faster than Gibbons. 509 00:34:46.119 --> 00:34:53.400 That's Mike Rabel even admitted that today. But I just like the versatility that 510 00:34:53.519 --> 00:34:57.760 Gibbons can provide. Like you said, I think Gibbons has the ability to 511 00:34:57.760 --> 00:35:00.000 be better in coverage. I think if you had to have one of them 512 00:35:00.079 --> 00:35:04.599 matchup one on one with a tight end, I would rather have Gibbons because 513 00:35:04.639 --> 00:35:08.760 of that length and that understanding of zone. I think Gibbons has a really 514 00:35:08.760 --> 00:35:13.599 good understanding of like where to drop to in coverage and that sort of we 515 00:35:13.639 --> 00:35:16.079 think about like how fast you are, how you move making plays, blah 516 00:35:16.079 --> 00:35:19.760 blah, but like no one where to be, and like having a good 517 00:35:19.800 --> 00:35:22.960 feel for like where to drop to. David Long was really good at that 518 00:35:22.039 --> 00:35:25.360 last year when they would play action fake, David Long take two steps up, 519 00:35:25.400 --> 00:35:29.119 oops, and he would drop back and he would know where to go. 520 00:35:29.199 --> 00:35:32.000 I think Gibbons has is better at that than Monnie Rice is right now. 521 00:35:32.119 --> 00:35:36.559 But honestly, maybe a rep situation. Rice has missed some time. 522 00:35:36.840 --> 00:35:38.639 And it's not just that he misses time. It feels like he can't get 523 00:35:38.800 --> 00:35:45.239 momentum going because his injuries like disrupt patches of time. So I'm hoping that 524 00:35:45.239 --> 00:35:47.280 that Monty Rice gets more reps. But at the end of the day, 525 00:35:47.320 --> 00:35:51.239 I don't see Monnie Rice is like, like, do you think Monty Rice, 526 00:35:51.239 --> 00:35:54.239 will we ever be better than David Long? Like than what we saw 527 00:35:54.280 --> 00:35:58.880 from David Long last year? Like when hell is this year? Is this 528 00:35:59.039 --> 00:36:01.239 his third year? That's what I thought. Yeah, I didn't say him 529 00:36:01.280 --> 00:36:06.920 and Racy McMath were drafted in the same year, right, YEA, yeah, 530 00:36:07.000 --> 00:36:15.679 that's what I thought. So if I and I obviously now I give 531 00:36:15.719 --> 00:36:21.320 you that. Yeah, but we're talking about progression right throughout, you know, 532 00:36:21.400 --> 00:36:24.719 from rookie to now. I love my bulldogs and everything, but I 533 00:36:24.760 --> 00:36:29.159 have to say, you know, there's not that much progression from the time 534 00:36:29.199 --> 00:36:31.760 we drafted him to where he's at right now. And yeah, it's kind 535 00:36:31.760 --> 00:36:35.599 of the same with McMath. And if I'm gonna be hard on McMath and 536 00:36:35.639 --> 00:36:37.840 say, all right, it's time to move on from him. We've given 537 00:36:37.920 --> 00:36:40.280 him enough time, you know, unless he does something just absolutely amazing and 538 00:36:40.360 --> 00:36:45.920 training camp in preseason, we need to let him go. Then I don't 539 00:36:45.920 --> 00:36:49.840 think, Yeah, I try to connect the dots and maybe with the rotation 540 00:36:49.840 --> 00:36:52.480 and the stuff the Titans do, it's it's out of line. But like, 541 00:36:52.159 --> 00:36:57.280 if will Levis is the third team quarterback and will Levis has thrown touchdown 542 00:36:57.280 --> 00:37:00.199 passes to Racey McMath either, will Levis got to play with the twos, 543 00:37:00.199 --> 00:37:06.360 which Paul Kaharski reported today. Will Levis did start rotating in with the second 544 00:37:06.400 --> 00:37:09.000 team here and there, and him and Willis were rotating, which was interesting 545 00:37:09.000 --> 00:37:14.960 as well. But uh, like, if if will Levis is thrown touchdown 546 00:37:14.960 --> 00:37:16.920 passes to Racey mcmatt, that means Racey mcmtt is playing with the third team 547 00:37:16.960 --> 00:37:21.599 offense, he's going into his third season. I just don't think it's there, 548 00:37:21.840 --> 00:37:24.079 you know what I mean. But Monny has been better than Racey, 549 00:37:24.280 --> 00:37:28.360 that's for sure. But I understand. I think that you keep Monty on 550 00:37:28.400 --> 00:37:30.760 the team no matter what. It's not like you'd go away from him after 551 00:37:30.800 --> 00:37:32.119 this training camp. He's gonna be on the team this year and next year. 552 00:37:32.440 --> 00:37:37.079 Borrowing something crazy. But I guess the question is, like, do 553 00:37:37.159 --> 00:37:40.599 you guys really see Monty Rice developing into somebody who you're gonna give a second 554 00:37:40.599 --> 00:37:47.400 contract too? Yeah, you're probably just gonna draft another linebacker after you in 555 00:37:47.639 --> 00:37:52.320 next year's draft or the year after's draft and have him replace Monnie Rice and 556 00:37:52.400 --> 00:37:58.519 let Monty Rice go because like he's just a replacement level linebacker in my opinion, 557 00:37:58.559 --> 00:38:01.480 He's not anybody who's gonna be like even an above average starter, like 558 00:38:02.280 --> 00:38:06.079 you know we talked. If you think about it, like all pro level, 559 00:38:06.440 --> 00:38:12.360 pro bowl level, above average starter, average starter, below average player, 560 00:38:13.039 --> 00:38:15.679 practice squad player, you know, like Money Rice to me is just 561 00:38:15.760 --> 00:38:19.519 like average. He could start for you. He's like David Long. I 562 00:38:19.559 --> 00:38:23.800 know, they're different. Like David Long is a good linebacker. He can 563 00:38:23.880 --> 00:38:29.679 make some good plays, crazy interceptions, good against the un but you're not 564 00:38:29.679 --> 00:38:31.719 gonna pay him a ton of money and keep him, like you're just gonna 565 00:38:31.760 --> 00:38:37.159 get a different guy who's probably about the same level. And like for every 566 00:38:37.320 --> 00:38:40.679 every money Rice, there's an azz out Shire And it's like I'm not paying 567 00:38:40.679 --> 00:38:45.760 Money Rice six or seven million when I could just pay a veteran who's just 568 00:38:45.840 --> 00:38:49.000 about the same, maybe a couple mill less. Like it's the same why 569 00:38:49.079 --> 00:38:52.239 they let David Long go and then replace him with his zes who's the same 570 00:38:52.280 --> 00:38:55.679 price. It's just they're just an average replacement level linebacker. And I don't 571 00:38:55.679 --> 00:38:59.920 see Money or Ice ever being more than that. So would I be shot 572 00:39:00.119 --> 00:39:05.000 if Jack Gibbons, who could maybe be a replacement level linebacker, could beat 573 00:39:05.039 --> 00:39:09.239 him out because his skill set is just a little more diverse. Believe that. 574 00:39:09.239 --> 00:39:13.079 And that's just based on where I always saw Monty Rice. I never 575 00:39:13.119 --> 00:39:15.599 saw him as like a true linebacker one. I never I've never even seen 576 00:39:15.639 --> 00:39:19.719 Monty Rice as a guy who I think is on David Long's level and how 577 00:39:19.719 --> 00:39:22.920 I viewed him, So I don't know. I guess I wasn't shocked to 578 00:39:22.960 --> 00:39:25.320 hear that, but some people have been higher on Monty Rice. Maybe are 579 00:39:25.440 --> 00:39:30.000 shocked to hear that, but I guess I wasn't. I've been I think 580 00:39:30.039 --> 00:39:32.719 this is the year, though, that we're gonna find out, well, 581 00:39:34.199 --> 00:39:37.960 who's right and who's wrong on Monty Rice. Really I do, because because 582 00:39:37.000 --> 00:39:40.480 I mean this year three, like we talk about year four is the contract 583 00:39:40.559 --> 00:39:44.559 year. Everybody tries to ball out in year four, but I feel like 584 00:39:44.679 --> 00:39:47.199 year three is when you see who a player really is. Yes, that's 585 00:39:47.320 --> 00:39:51.920 we're about to see. So I'm really excited, And like I told him 586 00:39:51.960 --> 00:39:53.480 before the show started, I'm a big Monty Rice fan. I know a 587 00:39:53.519 --> 00:39:58.079 lot of his family from Alabama, so like, I'm big on him, 588 00:39:58.079 --> 00:40:00.719 I want him to do well. I'm also, like I said, a 589 00:40:00.920 --> 00:40:07.280 skeptical optimists, So I'm not really I'm not too not too optimistic about it, 590 00:40:07.519 --> 00:40:13.079 but I do hope, right, Yeah, twenty two years of disappointment, 591 00:40:13.159 --> 00:40:20.719 but uh, I got yeah, go ahead, Tyler. I got 592 00:40:20.719 --> 00:40:24.320 two questions. I got two questions. I want you before you leave and 593 00:40:24.800 --> 00:40:30.199 Max Maximum bust out laughing on the first one. How was your honest to 594 00:40:30.360 --> 00:40:39.559 God feeling about Caleb Farley? Okay, your feeling on cable h Well, 595 00:40:39.639 --> 00:40:44.519 I mean, there's two different opinions that I have here. One is the 596 00:40:44.519 --> 00:40:49.480 football opinion and one is the opinion that I have on on just Caleb's situation. 597 00:40:49.840 --> 00:40:54.239 The football opinion, brother, he's done, Like I'm sorry, it's 598 00:40:54.280 --> 00:40:58.960 a whole count. And this goes into my second opinion. This goes into 599 00:40:58.960 --> 00:41:02.920 my second opinion. But he switched positions early in college, so it's not 600 00:41:02.960 --> 00:41:07.480 like this guy's been playing cornerback for a long time. He tours ACL in 601 00:41:07.559 --> 00:41:10.760 college, barely gets an opportunity to play cornerback, comes back as like one 602 00:41:10.840 --> 00:41:15.880 good season, then back injury. Then COVID happens too, and he misses 603 00:41:15.920 --> 00:41:20.199 a bunch of time where he could be playing because of injuries and COVID and 604 00:41:20.199 --> 00:41:24.960 all that comes into the NFL first two NFL seasons. Toward ACL second season, 605 00:41:25.079 --> 00:41:31.119 reaggravates the back, So that's two acls, two backs, a position 606 00:41:31.239 --> 00:41:37.119 change, like limited reps, three seasons off. Yeah. Yeah, there 607 00:41:37.199 --> 00:41:42.679 is just no way that a developmental guy. He was always a guy who 608 00:41:42.679 --> 00:41:45.199 had a ton of athlete. He's super tall, super fast, physical, 609 00:41:45.440 --> 00:41:49.840 He's got all the athletic skill in the world. But he just needs time 610 00:41:49.880 --> 00:41:52.679 to develop. And unfortunately he's not going to have time to develop, and 611 00:41:52.800 --> 00:41:57.280 any time that he would have he's been robbed of because his body is just 612 00:41:57.320 --> 00:42:00.119 not built to be a professional athlete. I guess, you know, I 613 00:42:00.119 --> 00:42:01.440 don't think that. Like when I say that, people think it's a big 614 00:42:01.440 --> 00:42:07.320 critique, Like most people's bodies are not built to withstand professional sports. You 615 00:42:07.320 --> 00:42:13.039 know, none of us are. I could die out there, you know 616 00:42:13.079 --> 00:42:17.480 what I mean, Like I would literally die. So like I'm not criticizing 617 00:42:17.519 --> 00:42:22.559 the dude, it's just the reality that not everybody's body is built to withstand 618 00:42:22.599 --> 00:42:25.639 it. So he got screwed from an experienced standpoint. He got screwed from 619 00:42:25.639 --> 00:42:29.280 a body standpoint. So I feel bad saying it, but I just do 620 00:42:29.360 --> 00:42:34.599 not see any path where he comes back to be a relevant player for the 621 00:42:34.599 --> 00:42:37.280 Titans at all. He's never going to be close towards this draft selection. 622 00:42:37.440 --> 00:42:40.239 They'll probably get one more opportunity after this, because everybody gets a second chance 623 00:42:40.440 --> 00:42:44.320 when you have talent. But I just don't see it happening. What I 624 00:42:44.360 --> 00:42:46.039 do want to say is, with all that stuff that I just said happened 625 00:42:46.039 --> 00:42:52.280 to him and his mom dies from cancer, Like from a human perspective, 626 00:42:52.360 --> 00:42:55.880 think about how hard the last like four years have probably been. Plus you 627 00:42:55.880 --> 00:43:00.559 get on social media at all and everybody's like dog and you, dude, 628 00:43:00.599 --> 00:43:06.559 just absolutely do I host a podcast and you know, I'm not really you 629 00:43:06.599 --> 00:43:09.280 know, it's only the couple thousand people or you know, the twenty thousand 630 00:43:09.280 --> 00:43:13.880 people my ecosystem is. But some days I'm not having a good day for 631 00:43:13.920 --> 00:43:16.480 whatever reason, and then somebody says something really mean to me. You know, 632 00:43:16.639 --> 00:43:22.119 like even though I know, like I'm good, like that mean in 633 00:43:22.239 --> 00:43:25.000 Saul isn't real. You know, like every day, like some days it 634 00:43:25.079 --> 00:43:31.039 just sucks. So to like, like you know, and to not have 635 00:43:31.119 --> 00:43:36.360 your own mother like that's hard because who's the nicest person to you ever in 636 00:43:36.400 --> 00:43:38.800 your whole life? Most of the time it's your mom. I know everybody's 637 00:43:38.800 --> 00:43:44.360 situations different, maybe that's not always the game, but generally your mother loves 638 00:43:44.360 --> 00:43:45.840 you more than anybody else in the whole world. That'll be tough on you, 639 00:43:45.880 --> 00:43:51.760 But but mama, Mama always is well. When he's going through the 640 00:43:51.840 --> 00:43:54.800 hardest period of his entire life and everyone is as mean to him as they've 641 00:43:54.840 --> 00:43:59.239 ever been, the one person who loves you most and who is nicest and 642 00:43:59.239 --> 00:44:04.360 sweetest to you isn't there to give you any balance. And that's why maybe 643 00:44:04.360 --> 00:44:07.679 I should think about this morning. We discussed players, but I get like 644 00:44:07.840 --> 00:44:10.719 my hair stands up because I feel so so bad for him, and I 645 00:44:10.760 --> 00:44:14.480 know in my mind that there's just no way he's ever gonna get back to 646 00:44:14.519 --> 00:44:16.880 who he hoped he could be when he was in the in the driveway on 647 00:44:16.920 --> 00:44:21.840 the playground, hoping he could be that NFL player. His body is never 648 00:44:21.920 --> 00:44:24.079 gonna let him get close to that. And it's just, you know, 649 00:44:24.920 --> 00:44:30.639 just a human to human man. That's I don't care that he got a 650 00:44:30.639 --> 00:44:34.760 couple million bucks. That's hard, man, that's tough. That money's gonna 651 00:44:34.800 --> 00:44:37.159 go and he's not gonna have his mom or his dreams. You know. 652 00:44:37.800 --> 00:44:46.159 Sucks. Yeah, damn. Second question, do you finally think the injury 653 00:44:46.239 --> 00:44:55.039 book is leaving us alone? Man? Don't talk. It's the second week 654 00:44:55.039 --> 00:44:59.880 of training camp. No, don't do this, Listen. I think there's 655 00:45:00.119 --> 00:45:01.960 to be a level of injuries with this team no matter what, because of 656 00:45:02.000 --> 00:45:06.440 the way Rabel wants to play rabels, running these guys into the dirt in 657 00:45:06.519 --> 00:45:09.800 June and OTAs and stuff. We're building a callous you know, like that's 658 00:45:09.840 --> 00:45:13.679 what he's doing. And then we're gonna play a physical brand of football that 659 00:45:13.719 --> 00:45:15.440 takes its toll on guys. So I think the Titans are never gonna be 660 00:45:15.480 --> 00:45:19.280 like one of the least injured teams in the NFL. It's just not gonna 661 00:45:19.320 --> 00:45:23.719 happen. But if they can just be like fifteen to twenty instead of twenty, 662 00:45:23.760 --> 00:45:28.079 instead of thirty two every year, If they could just be like fifteen 663 00:45:28.119 --> 00:45:30.119 to twenty in injuries, I think they'll be fine. And yeah, I 664 00:45:30.159 --> 00:45:32.760 think they can do that. I think they can do that this year. 665 00:45:34.320 --> 00:45:37.920 Please Lord. Yeah, Yeah, all right, man. You know, 666 00:45:38.039 --> 00:45:42.639 obviously I was the big, the big fan girl here, so I wanted 667 00:45:42.679 --> 00:45:45.079 to get most of you know, on most of my questions, and I 668 00:45:45.079 --> 00:45:47.119 did, And that's cool. Flame. You got a couple of questions in 669 00:45:47.159 --> 00:45:52.159 there, Tyler. You have any questions for Tyler before we wrap this up? 670 00:45:52.639 --> 00:45:58.280 Wait, who you asking? I'd have a question for you? Yeah, 671 00:45:58.320 --> 00:46:00.679 I'm ready to feel it. Any questions. But my biggest question was 672 00:46:00.760 --> 00:46:05.360 about the linebacker situation. I'm really uh And I actually had a question about 673 00:46:05.400 --> 00:46:08.800 Caleb Farley as well. Um, I saw where his agent was at practice 674 00:46:08.880 --> 00:46:15.119 earlier today and was talking to Rabel before the press conference, which I find 675 00:46:15.239 --> 00:46:16.960 very odd. I don't know if that's something that happens often. I don't 676 00:46:17.000 --> 00:46:21.920 see that in the news very often, so seeing that was kind of weird, 677 00:46:22.000 --> 00:46:23.639 and I didn't I didn't really like that too much. But I don't 678 00:46:23.639 --> 00:46:28.079 want to be that guy. I just wanted to ask about it before I 679 00:46:28.119 --> 00:46:30.960 really gave my opinion on it. Well, that's fair, uh, but 680 00:46:31.119 --> 00:46:34.320 yeah, that is a good question. Let me talk you off the ledge. 681 00:46:34.679 --> 00:46:38.320 So while I know it's Caleb Farley's agent and he's hurt and like he 682 00:46:38.440 --> 00:46:42.840 like poked his head out of like you know that kim Ka meme where she's 683 00:46:42.920 --> 00:46:45.840 hiding behind a bush and she like post her bed out just a little bit. 684 00:46:45.000 --> 00:46:49.000 That's what I imagine Caleb Farley did out of the door of the locker 685 00:46:49.079 --> 00:46:52.159 room today. The way it was recorded, it said Caleb Farley like snuck 686 00:46:52.159 --> 00:46:54.599 out the side more of a locker room like that. He just like you 687 00:46:54.639 --> 00:47:00.440 know what I mean. But I think that there's there's a terror way to 688 00:47:00.519 --> 00:47:06.079 view this, and that's like early retirement. The Titans are releasing him like 689 00:47:06.159 --> 00:47:09.519 some sort of big like negative thing, which if the Titans cut Farley it 690 00:47:09.559 --> 00:47:13.239 would cost them two and a half million dollars in salary cap space. It 691 00:47:13.239 --> 00:47:16.960 would save them nothing. So it doesn't really make sense unless they truly do 692 00:47:17.079 --> 00:47:21.760 think like hey, this like it's a medical retirement and they can get their 693 00:47:21.760 --> 00:47:23.800 money back or something like that, like on the cap. But unless it's 694 00:47:23.800 --> 00:47:29.559 something like that, I think the reality here is it's just a courtesy agent 695 00:47:29.719 --> 00:47:34.079 visit. Like Drew Rosenhouse is Caleb Farley's agent, and he's one of like 696 00:47:34.559 --> 00:47:37.000 if you ask people like who's an agent in the NFL, Drew Rosenhouse might 697 00:47:37.039 --> 00:47:40.079 be the number one guy that people actually know, and I think he's just 698 00:47:40.159 --> 00:47:44.119 the type of guy. And I think agents do this a lot. They 699 00:47:44.199 --> 00:47:45.800 just visit their players throughout the summer. You know, they have a client 700 00:47:45.880 --> 00:47:49.679 list, it's not like you know, so they'll go visit, especially a 701 00:47:49.679 --> 00:47:52.440 guy like Rosenhouse with a lot of clients. They'll probably just go visit as 702 00:47:52.440 --> 00:47:55.440 guys and take a trip during the summer and hit all the different training camps, 703 00:47:55.599 --> 00:48:00.119 see all as different clients, talk to their coaches, blah blah blah, 704 00:48:00.239 --> 00:48:04.159 established connections. Everything's about relationships in life and in business, you know. 705 00:48:04.360 --> 00:48:07.519 So I think the truth of it is, while it does feel weird, 706 00:48:07.280 --> 00:48:12.159 I think the reality is it's probably just like a courtesy agent visit regular 707 00:48:12.280 --> 00:48:15.719 generic Hey, an agent's just stopping by training camp to see his player and 708 00:48:15.800 --> 00:48:19.280 check in and you know, keep tabs on those relationships that he's built and 709 00:48:19.559 --> 00:48:22.159 blah blah blah blah blah. I think it's most likely something like that more 710 00:48:22.239 --> 00:48:25.679 than it is like something crazy with Farley is happening, but based on what's 711 00:48:25.679 --> 00:48:30.079 happened with him in his career and with him being on pup still and all 712 00:48:30.119 --> 00:48:32.760 that, who knows if it is something crazy but I guess if I had 713 00:48:32.760 --> 00:48:37.000 gun to my head, I would tell you it's probably just standard run of 714 00:48:37.000 --> 00:48:39.679 the mill agent visit that happens during training camp, because I think Rosenhouse has 715 00:48:39.719 --> 00:48:44.159 come out to Titans training camp before, whether it be last year or the 716 00:48:44.199 --> 00:48:46.280 year before, one of the years that I've been covering the team, Rosenhouse 717 00:48:46.400 --> 00:48:51.000 stopped out there before, and it was similarly like so and so's agent was 718 00:48:51.079 --> 00:48:52.239 here, blah blah blah blah blah, and people were like, what does 719 00:48:52.280 --> 00:48:55.880 it mean? And I think they're just stopping by. That's good to hear. 720 00:48:55.920 --> 00:48:59.800 I'm glad. I'm glad I didn't jump off the LEDs there before. 721 00:48:59.800 --> 00:49:05.400 I has asked a question, and I have a question, since you brought 722 00:49:05.440 --> 00:49:08.360 that up to the Rosenhouse thing, do you think that, like his history 723 00:49:08.400 --> 00:49:14.880 with the Titans since since we've changed pretty much everything about the team since all 724 00:49:14.920 --> 00:49:20.360 that went down, do you think that that our history with them is our 725 00:49:20.960 --> 00:49:22.760 team with him? Is? Are we cool? Do you think? Yeah? 726 00:49:22.840 --> 00:49:27.639 I think everything's fine there. I think you know, when a single 727 00:49:27.679 --> 00:49:30.960 thing happens with a player and people are always like, oh that agent. 728 00:49:30.440 --> 00:49:35.199 You see it in basketball a lot. I'm a big Lakers fan and Aaron 729 00:49:35.280 --> 00:49:39.440 Mintz from CIA represented Paul George for a little while. I don't know if 730 00:49:39.440 --> 00:49:43.559 he still does, but like the Titans had some issue with one of his 731 00:49:43.599 --> 00:49:45.920 clients and they're like, oh, the Lakers will never get Paul George, 732 00:49:45.960 --> 00:49:47.719 I said, the Titans, But the Lakers will never get Paul George now 733 00:49:47.760 --> 00:49:51.800 because their agent hates him. And then like a year later, they signed 734 00:49:51.840 --> 00:49:53.880 one of one of his players that he has as a client. And it's 735 00:49:53.880 --> 00:49:59.880 like, there, you can't have those kind of beefs in pro sports because 736 00:50:00.039 --> 00:50:04.079 eventually you're gonna want one of your clients to go to a certain team. 737 00:50:04.679 --> 00:50:07.360 One of your clients is gonna want to go to a certain team this and 738 00:50:07.440 --> 00:50:10.840 that, you're gonna your client's gonna get traded to that team. And it's 739 00:50:10.880 --> 00:50:15.920 just there's only thirty two teams. Agents can't they can't be like, oh, 740 00:50:15.960 --> 00:50:19.239 I'm never doing business with that team, or my relationship is terrible with 741 00:50:19.280 --> 00:50:21.679 that team. I mean, we're people, so we know dealing with somebody 742 00:50:21.719 --> 00:50:23.639 you don't like, it's gonna happen. But I don't think they can afford 743 00:50:23.679 --> 00:50:27.239 to just be like, I'm not doing anything with that team. So I 744 00:50:27.519 --> 00:50:30.320 wouldn't. I wouldn't make too much of the Drew Rosenhouse thame from many angles. 745 00:50:30.400 --> 00:50:35.599 Really don't think it's epic of deal. All right, anything anybody else 746 00:50:35.639 --> 00:50:38.760 wants to bring up Before we wrap it up, I just want to give 747 00:50:38.800 --> 00:50:42.480 a shout out to Tyler Man. I appreciate you coming on. You know, 748 00:50:42.519 --> 00:50:45.079 I've been rocking with you for a long time. Yes, dude, 749 00:50:45.440 --> 00:50:49.440 Yeah, I remember.

And I definitely do remember some of the people, 755 00:51:12.000 --> 00:51:14.880 very very early on that would even give me a shot and give me a 756 00:51:14.960 --> 00:51:17.119 chance to listen. A funny story. I got added to a Titans group 757 00:51:17.199 --> 00:51:22.199 chat one time, and uh it was on Facebook. Don't add me to 758 00:51:22.239 --> 00:51:28.800 these if you're listening right now. People were headspace for group chats or anything 759 00:51:28.920 --> 00:51:30.599 like.

You 809 00:54:45.719 --> 00:54:51.719 want to introduce yourself, Let let people know what made you a Titans fan. 810 00:54:52.119 --> 00:54:54.360 Oh Man, Well, I was three years old and they had just 811 00:54:54.559 --> 00:54:59.760 moved to Nashville, just started being the Titans actually instead of the Oilers, 812 00:54:59.760 --> 00:55:02.760 and I remember watching them on CBS and I was like, hey, I 813 00:55:02.880 --> 00:55:07.760 like their colors. Ever since then, I've been disappointed every single year in 814 00:55:07.800 --> 00:55:13.599 my life. That's what made me a Titans man. And I'm here because 815 00:55:13.599 --> 00:55:17.159 whenever we win the Super Bowl one year of my lifetime, I'm never ever 816 00:55:17.360 --> 00:55:22.559 going to shut up about it ever, so waiting on that time. I 817 00:55:22.800 --> 00:55:28.320 never shut up about playoff victories. Any moral victories I can take or I 818 00:55:28.400 --> 00:55:31.559 will take them. But I am a huge Titans fan, love the Titans, 819 00:55:31.559 --> 00:55:37.519 been a Titans fan literally since they moved to Nashville. So I'm here, 820 00:55:37.599 --> 00:55:40.199 I'm not going anywhere, and I'm extremely excited to be able to come 821 00:55:40.199 --> 00:55:45.159 on here and not just to annoying my work friends with my Titans takes anymore. 822 00:55:45.519 --> 00:55:50.239 So the guy they couldn't care less about the Titans, and I'm gonna 823 00:55:50.239 --> 00:55:52.840 sit there and talk about them anyway.
