and you can find previous episodes over there. Remember to like, share,
comment, all that good stuff. But we're here today talk about a few
changes over in Titans Land is trying to get on here multiple times last week,
but I was under the weather and couldn't get vertical long enough to do
it. But here we are today, So Tyler, you want to say
tight en up to everybody. Welcome everyone, and welcome to the dawn of
the Callahan era in Nashville, Tennessee. Absolutely, that's the first thing on
the docket tonight. We got a new head coach and it's actually the number
one head coach that I was wanting from the moment we fired Grabel. That's
I said I want to Brian Callahan, and they went out there and got
him. So kind of funny the way that he ended up there because he
was scheduled for interviews with the Panthers the next day after us the Falcons the
day after that, and his flight got canceled due to weather coming to Nashville,
So we was actually going to move to the back of the line,
and Amy ended up sending the Titans private jet to go and get him to
make sure we stayed first in line and didn't let him out of the building
without signing the contract. So he was also the first head coach hired from
outside the organization in this hiring cycle, So I feel like we had him
as our number one guy. We went out there and made things happen,
make sure we got who we wanted there. So you think we got the
right guy, Was you looking at someone else's head coach? Sure? I
mean I definitely was vocal that I wanted the offensive coordinator from from the Texans.
He was my number one person. I'm a little intrigued as to why
no one hired him because he had a bunch of requests, which leads me
to believe that a lot of teams just think that there were eight coaching openings
this season, UH and all eight none of the eight took him. Leads
me to believe that they must think that he needs a couple more years to
cook in UH in Southern Texas before taking a position as a head coach elsewhere.
But Brian Callahan was my number two. I think We've been very vocal
h between you and I about how we wanted an offensive minded coach. So
I'm I'm I'm excited for what the future is going to hold, and I'm
really liking the the hiring so far for the team around him. It makes
me optimistic about the future. It's I think it is still very early to
tell what the future is going to look like under him, But I think
that everyone should welcome him with open arms because this is our team and why
would you not want him to be successful? Yeah? Absolutely, And I
think Bobby Slowick was number one on most Titans fans list, And the reason
I didn't want him was, as you said, he's a rookie offensive coordinator.
I'd like to see him do it more than one year before we hind
the team over to him. Yeah, but I was seeing multiple reports on
ESPN and NFL Network that he didn't interview well that it didn't have to do
with his resume or anything. It's like he didn't instill that confidence in the
gems that we're interviewing him. So it may just, you know, if
he is a young offensive coordinator, it may just take him a year or
two to get that interview process down. Yeah, and number two on most
of the offense. As far as offensive coordinators interview him for the job.
A lot of people wanted Ben Johnson, the Lions offensive coordinator, and everybody
kind of gave up on him because all the reports said he was the Commander's
head coach, that as soon as the lines exited, they were signing him,
and then they end up waiting on him, and then he decides to
stay in Detroit, and so they lose out on all of the head coaching
hires and end up with Dan Quinn. Yeah. I mean, you could
be aggressive like the Titans were, or you can be conservative like the Commanders.
We'll see any season in two how it shakes out. Yeah, I
agree. We got the seventh pick, they got the number two pick.
We both have young quarterbacks, so we're in similar situations and so we'll see
if we had the right approach or if they did. And we have the
number one and number two most cap space going into this offseason. Yeah,
good point. We're within like three million of each other in cup space.
And let's help. Let's pull to the football gods that we cut Dullard from
our roster so that we get more money. Oh yeah, I think as
soon as the off season starts the first day of the league year, he
had to go. And that's six and a half million dollars that gets outed
her cap space. That would move us up in the first place in cap
space. And it's needed because he did absolutely he did not help us.
He hurt us. Yeah, in every way possible. So but something that
I do think is going to help us is we also went out and got
aggressive with their defensive coordinator higher. We went out and got the Ravens defensive
back coach at Dinard Wilson. So just I was looking at his history as
a coach and just to run down some of the stuff he did. His
first time as a DB's coach was with the Rams. He produced the eighth
fewest passing touchdowns allowed during that time, the fifth fewest yards per completion and
the tenth best past defense. Now, let's also talk about how that Rams
defense had two of the greatest defensive players of all time and Jalen Ramsey,
you know, was that the years he was there? It may have been
Yeah, Aaron, I mean, I would I mean, this is Jalen
Ramsey's first year, not on the Rams. Yeah, he was with the
Eagle, I mean with the Yeah, the Eagles before the Ravens though.
Yeah, so, oh no, it wasn't. The Rams was in twenty
fourteen, he was a Ram How long was he in LA three years?
I don't see. He wouldn't have had I don't think he would have had
him. So that means that he would have he would have at least had
probably the number two greatest defensive player of all time and Aaron Donald had Aaron
Donalds. Yeah, it helps your back in coverage when Aaron Donald's getting those
sacks and pressures. Yeah, when you have a guy that's getting double and
triple teams by offensive linemen. From there, he moved on to the Jets,
where he allowed the ninth west yards for completion, and from there he
moved on to the Eagles, where he had the number one pass defense and
allowed the third lowest passer rating during his year there or two years there,
I'm sorry. And then last year he was with the Ravens where they had
the number six pass defense, the third most intersections, and the lowest passer
rating allowed. So everywhere he's went, he's had success. So that's been
our weak spot, is that back end coverage. So maybe he can spark
some magic for us the way he has everywhere else that he's been. Yeah,
I think it's an A plus higher personally. Ever since we lost Logan
Ryan and that like era of three really good starting defensive backs, the secondary
for the Titans has always been kind of below average ever since then. I
mean, we had Kevin Byerd, but really there was nobody else that was
able to go out there and shut down receivers when we were playing them.
So I think it's an an A plus higher for sure at the moment,
because I think his resume speaks for itself. I mean, he took Marlon
Humphrey for the Ravens and you know, look at his production for them.
Kyle Hamilton is in his second season for the Ravens and he's an All Pro.
So working with that and playing with players that are such high caliber leaves
a lot of optimism to look forward to for this team, where for the
past five, you know, three, four or five seasons or so,
that has really been kind of one of the the drags on this roster because
how many years in a row have we had a bottom five pass defense in
the entire NFL. And so now that now that we have him, and
you know, he's getting to work with a young Jeffrey Simmons who's in his
prime, I'm excited to see what he does. And I think it's necessary
because we got to play c. J. Stroud twice a year, we
got to play Trevor Lawrence twice a year. Those two have kind of proven
their their worth already. The jury is still out on Anthony Richardson, So
he comes to this team at a very dire time when we need to start
really working on that secondary. Yeah, and you talked about him what he
done when he had Donald getting those pressures and stuff, and Aaron Donald has
been vocal about Jeffrey Simmons being the next in line behind him to the next
great defensive tackle. So I mean that's he's proven what he can do with
those weapons. Yeah, but then the one higher I think we've made that
kind of leaves me scratching my head is we hired for the wide receiver coach
typ Tolbert, and so he comes from his pedigree as the Panthers as a
wide receiver coach, the Broncos as a wide receiver coach, the JIH and
then last year with the Bears. I mean, none of these are teams
that you look at and say, wow, their past game is amazing.
So I think that I've seen that before we got on here. I think
that the biggest reason there is because they have a relationship between the two,
between Callahan and him. So I don't I'm not sure if it. I
hope that it's, you know, not going to be a major issue,
but I mean, we'll see what happens, uh. I mean, not
everybody can have regu Wayne as a wide receiver coach. Yeah. I don't
think that it's a major deal because Callahan's already said he's you know, he's
the former QB coach, he's a past game specialist, and he's calling his
own plays, so he's going to have the most say in the biggest thumb
print on the past game, no matter who the wide receiver coach is.
And I also think that a lot of that has to do with the fact
that number one, you have to have some sort of assistant. I think
the rule in the NFL is that it's an offensive assistant that's African American.
So I'm not sure if maybe that they did that to appease to that.
Maybe they did that in hopes that maybe down the line they want some compensatory
picks in the third round if they think that he has a shot of potentially
moving up the ladder someday. Yeah. Absolutely, And that's something because you
know when we hired ring Karth on the forty nine ers, got two third
round picks from that. Yeah, and between him and also the defensive coordinator
Wilson, either one of those get hired by another team, then that's just
going to bolster us with day two pis. Yeah, it's it'll be good
in the long run. Oh yeah, I agree. The The one big
position left for us to feel is the offensive coordinator, which we've had three
interviews for. So the three interviews are the Bucks quarterback coach Thad Lewis,
the Dolphins assistant head coach Eric Strootsville. I think you say his last name.
And the Jaguars pass game coordinator, Nick Coles. Do you do any
of those do anything for you? Or do you think that we should be
looking elsewhere you have another name in mind. I think this is pretty simple
in my opinion. Out of those three, only one of them have had
a game this season where they put up seventy points in a game, and
that's where I'm going to leave that. Yeah, and the Dolphins assistant head
coach there Streetsville. He's been my number one target for offensive coordinator from the
beginning. And the reason why, I've got a few reasons. First,
he's the assistant head coach, so clearly they've got a lot of confidence in
him. They think highly of him. But he's also their running game coordinator,
so he's got fingerprints on the offense already. And so he's also the
running backs coach, and we've got a young running back, so he's going
to need if he's going to take over, he's going to need good coaching.
And he's been their running back coach since twenty seventeen, so it ain't
you know, it ain't a new hire or anything, or if he became
their running backs coach he was the Broncos running back coach who traditionally have a
great running game. Yeah, and they have gone all the way back into
the eighties and nineties. But he remained the running backs coach through four coaching
changes there, and so every time they would fire a head coach for eight
years, the new head coach would come in and say, I want to
keep this guy. So, I mean, he's got a strong running pedigree,
and we have Callahan as a past specialist head coach who's calling his own
plays, and so I think it would be a good balance to have a
running offensive coordinator and who's also the Dolphins are considered the fourth most analytically driven
team in the NFL. So he's gonna not have to call plays, but
he's gonna be able to look situationally at the analytics and be in Callahan's ear
and say run here, play action here. And I think it's going to
just strengthen the offense all the way around. Well, I think at the
very least something that we need to talk about is how, all of a
sudden, with with Callahan as our head coach, these people want to come
to Tennessee. They are choosing this franchise where they over these other franchises that
have that had a winning record this season. I think it speaks a lot
to the pedigree of what Ran and what Brian Callahan want for this team right
now and what they want for the future and et cetera. And so that's
why I have a lot of optimism because these guys that are very in network
with the big wigs in the NFL, with the owners, with you know,
all the big names in the NFL, they see this guy and they
want to come work for him. Past off season where we weren't reading about
people wanting to go to go to the Texans to to be alongside with Demiko
Ryans. People weren't choosing the Texans franchise over all of these others. And
I bring up Jamiko Ryans because I'm presuming he's going to be the head coach
of the year. So there's a lot to be excited for. There's obviously
room for error, you know, I don't for I'm not foreseeing us going
to the super Bowl next year. It would be nice. I would love
it, but I don't foresee that for us yet. But I I think
we as Titans fans, we are seeing what having a head coach where people
want to coach with you and not your friends, I think that we are
setting ourselves up for a good few Yeah, I agree, and that's something
I didn't touch on with the defensive coordinator hire Wilson. You know, when
we hired him, he was the dB coach for the Ravens. The Ravens
defensive coordinator was hired as a head coach in Seattle, and so the Ravens
if once he got hired, within thirty minutes we was announcing the hire of
Wilson, and if the Ravens had promoted him the defensive coordinator of Baltimore,
we couldn't have hired him. So when the defensive coordinator position became open,
we had to make a quick decision, and the decision was to give him
an offer. But in addition to the Ravens potentially given him an offer,
they're saying two other teams had standing offers on the table, and he chose
to turn down all three, the Ravens and those other two mystery teams and
said, I want to go coach with Callahan. You said that that would
not have happened last year with Braybow. I don't think. Yeah, well,
and I think that there's a lot to be said because I mean,
you have Callahan, who was an offensive coordinator in Cincinnati with a very high
caliber offense. With you know the likes of Jamar Chase and Mixon and Higgins
and Burrow. You know, they're gonna make a dB a coach really angry
and really frustrated when you're having to double and triple team Jamar Chase. So
I think my hope is is that the two of them, in practices and
when scheming plays things like that, that they are going to be looking at
okay, like that They're going to challenge each other. Because if they go
in it with that mindset, I think that it could really benefit this team
because that's not something we were getting during the Vrabel era. We were just
you're, oh, hey, you're my friend, I go have some drinks
with you at the bar. And or we used to coach with each other,
and uh and and and and tech in Texas a couple of years ago.
Why don't you come coach with me here? So I'm excited to see
that now Callahan hiring his dad. I mean, I'm like, oh,
maybe maybe this is presumptive. But then when you read he's one of the
greatest offensive line coaches in all of NFL history, and we have an offensive
line problem, you want the best of the best, So yeah, I
don't mind him. Hir and his dad either, which that was the next
thing on my list. They asked him about it at his PRIs conference and
he kind of gave a sideway smile and said, he's under contract. I
can't talk about that. Well, right before we come on here, in
news breaks that we've officially requested an interview with his dad now, and his
dad's believed to already be on his way to Nashville pretty much. I read
something before we got on here that the Browns requests accepted his request to leave
the team. That would be I didn't see that yet, but that would
be major if they do except that request, because that would mean that we
don't have to promote him. We could bring him on as the old line
coach, because if they denied his request to leave, then we would have
to promote him to something like assistant head coach or something. Yeah, I
could have swore I've seen that they accepted his as requests for release and like
just running down his resume. Four decades as a coach, three decades in
the NFL. I mean, you can't ask for a better pedigree than that
to come onto your coaching staff. He's been the head coach of multiple NFL
teams, considered, like you said, one of the greatest in NFL history
to do it. So, I mean that's where that's our biggest weakness.
So if we can get one of the best ever to come in, then
I say do it. I mean that's like saying that you would want to
reject Bill Belichick as your defensive coordinator exactly, which with Dan Quinn getting hired
and Jerry Jones said that never say never about Belichick coming to the Cowboys.
So I mean, maybe he is going to be a defensive coordinator this year.
I don't see that happening. Another one of the greatest that ever do
it to he's requesting to get an interview with the Titans is Mike Munchick.
Have you read anything about that? Yeah, I've seen that. Did we
request him or did he request us? No, he requested us. And
so like his history, eight time All Pro offensive lineman, nine time Pro
Bowler, the nineteen eighties, NFL All decadeen and his numbers retired in the
Titans Ring of Honor, and he's in the Texas Sports Hall of Fame for
his time as an Oiler. So he spent eleven years playing for us before
we became the Titans. The day that he retired, the very next week,
he was hired on to coach the offensive line. And he's spent over
ten years during that three years as the head coach of the Titans. So
he's also considered one of the ten or fifteen best offensive line coaches in NFL
history. And so if we do get Callahan and give him a promotion,
bring munchat you got two with the top fifteen or twenty ever to do it
and coaching the line. As long as they're seeing eye to eye in the
way they're coaching, then I don't see how we could go wrong bringing those
two on calls. His thing was he won. He spent so long making
us an elite O line, So he wants to come out of retirement and
it would be like his legacy to come back and rescue the O line again.
How he rollic up him. I mean that would be nice. I
mean idealistically again, like that would be nice if if, if that were
to happen, I mean, at the end of the day, I mean
to speak, factually, we can have the best coaches in the world,
but you have to be able to get the players. So well, we'll
see what happens. I mean, it's a possibility that we have four brand
new starters on that offensive line in this upcoming season. Yeah, yeah,
I think we need at least three brand new ones. I wouldn't mind if
we keep, if we keep anyone, of course, we're keeping Scronsky,
but keep runskilled at the right guard. But then both tackles and center.
Definitely we have to replace. And looking at Montek's bo here, he's sixty
two, so he's ten years younger than Bill Belichick, and we're talking about
him looking for a job. So I mean he's not too old to come
back. I guess that's true. I mean, we're all talking about multi
millionaires, so they're they're sitting at home in their mansions, twaddling their thumbs,
trying to find things to do. Yeah, exactly, that's what's his
name, Frank, Right, He's getting paid how many million from the Colts
and from the Panthers right now, and still looking for a third job.
That dude's just sitting at home, laughing all the way to the bank.
CREP. Now, I mean he's I want his job. I want to
sit on my cops and make millions of dollars a year. Yeah, exactly.
He's coached what twelve games or thirteen games the last two seasons, and
he's getting paid until twenty twenty six by both teams. Yeah, must be
nice. You know what I could do with all that money. I'd go
on vacation every day. Yeah, I won't be working, that's for sure.
Yeah. So we talked a little bit. Touched on Belichick also Grabel.
I mean two guys that when they got cut, everyone said they'll be
hired within a week, and all the hit coaching jobs are fueled their boat
sitting on the sidelines for twenty twenty four. You think that either of them,
you think that's the I mean, I think it's the end for Belichick.
I mean, you're seventy two, Like, take the opportunity or hire
with some brace, just just go off into the sunset. That Rabel,
I think he would probably be back next year. I think the reason why
Belichick wasn't hired is I read all the reports that said that he won in
basically a lot of control in the roster. He basically wanted the same thing
with all the others, with all these other teams that he was interviewing with
that he had in New England, and not everybody runs their system that way.
I mean, if I've got a six time Super Bowl champion coach,
I mean, I'm going to listen to what he has to say. I
think I don't necessarily think it's a bad idea for him to maybe take a
season off, really like work on some schemes and then when there are coaching
positions available next year, which I'm sure there will be, I could.
I think I know a couple, then he'll have somewhere to go. Yeah,
I agree. I've really thought that he had a decent shot at the
Seahawks job with Rabel as his defensive coordinator. But I read that his best
shot was the Falcons. Yeah, that he asked for everything from the Falcons.
They said that he was wanting way too much money plus full control of
the team. Yeah, who do you think? What teams do you think
have coaching openings next year? That's a good question. I wonder how patient
the Jaguars are going to be after this. Last year they were one loss
from getting eliminated and then went on the miracle run and barely make the playoffs,
and then this year is just a complete lit down from start to finish.
Like, how patient are they going to be knowing that they've got Trevor
Lawrence and he ain't getting any younger? Fair Okay, other than that,
I could see that the Giants making a move. They've been like down for
quite a while. Yeah, they just had a coach last year when head
Coach of the Year. I think he still has another year or two.
I think he still has at least two years left in him abel to see
in twenty twenty one. True, I mean they the Giants have basically squandered
Daniel Jones, like he's halfway through his second contract at this point. I'm
going to say something that's going to shock a lot of people. I think
the Pittsburgh Steelers are looking for a new head coach after next season. See,
they were talking, I mean they were talking about it this year,
but it depended on Tomlin wanting to retire, and he decided he didn't want
to. But he took a long time to make that decision. And the
the Cowboys, they they were very very confident going into the off season.
Either after that playoff Walls there was talks about them moving on. So I
mean they said, they're going to give you one more year, but what
happens next year? Who else? But we have eight which is what twenty
five percent of the NFL this year, So I mean every year you're going
to get a few. That is true. But speaking of this coming season
and surprises, so we all Henry said goodbye the end of the season and
went out on the fifty yard line and got on the PA system and thanked
the fans. But then last week he gets an interview and says that he
thinks that the door is closed from the Titans end, but it's not closed
from his end, that he's still open to coming back. And then Callahan
says that he'll never turn down good teams and Henry fits his system, that
he's open to Henry coming back. So is there is the door a little
bit further open than what we thought it was for Henry to retire a Titan
With this one, I'm stuck because Henry has been an advocate for higher running
back pay for years now, and we have seen the success that the Titans
have had at the hands of Derrick Henry. I mean, when you have
someone who has the talent and ability that Derrick Henry has, it's hard to
not be successful. However, I think that what he's going to want and
what he's going to ask for, he's not going to get in Ran because
I think Ran. I think if I am in Rand's mind, Okay,
I just drafted a third round running back who has showed some promise, and
if I go out there and I give him a little bit better of an
offensive line than what I gave him last year, he can potentially take over
this team. I definitely don't want to see Derrick Henry go because I just
bought his jersey, you know, not that long ago. But what I
think it's going to come down to is how much money is he asking for.
He's only I mean, running back. Shelf lives are not very long
in the National Football League. He's got what maybe three two, three good
years left in him before you know, we start to see grandfather time.
Like I said, I think it all comes down to the amount of money
he wants. He was making what fourteen million this year. Yeah, I
think he's gonna want sixteen, and I don't think RAN's gonna give it to
him, and nor should he. If he has for sixteen, then I
don't think you can come close to that. I see where I would be
at with him would be like because, like you said, running Back,
Shelf Life Saint Long, the traditional mark is thirty years old you start declmbing,
and he turned thirty on January seventh. I think it was so.
I mean, unless you're Frank Gore or Adrian Peterson, there ain't many yards
to gain after you turn thirty. Yeah, And I would be comfortable at
like thirteen or fourteen million over two years. Like I'm not getting close to
the fourteen million he made this year. I'm looking at like a six to
seven million dollar payday because you can't take that. No, I don't think
he will either, But he's not going to get like we're paying fourteen million
to get two hundred and fifty to three hundred carries on the season. He's
not going to get that next year. Like you said, with Spears taking
as share of those carries, I mean that the money goes down when the
carries go down. Yeah, And and Spears. He spoke up in an
interview as well. He said that that he would love to share carries with
Henry again and that he's fully comfortable with his role on the team. If
they Henry goes, he's ready to step up, but he would prefer for
him read to stay in as have a split back field. That's just more
options for Will Levis. Yeah, yeah, and for I think for Henry
to stay. He's also going to want to see us invest in the offensive
line, even if we don't invest in him. So looking at free agency,
do you do you see anyone like one or two free agents out there
that you you think would help the offense. Well, I was looking at
the top twenty list of free agents this season. I don't I think there
was one offensive lineman that cracked the top twenty and that was Tyrone Smith from
the Cowboys. This is such a heavy offensive line draft. I definitely don't
think that we should go out and get three rookies to start on off our
offensive line. But I mean I wouldn't be a post to Tyrant Smith.
I mean again, anything's better than Andre Dillard. He I would I would
love to definitely see him the out of everyone that's in the top twenty list.
I would I would welcome all of them with open arms, except for
one, and that one is Michael Thomas from the Tampa Bay Bucks. And
it's not that I went and won him on the team. It's just that
I don't want the Titans to become the retirement home for wide receivers like what
the Indianapolis Colts franchises come for retirement homes for quarterbacks. I don't want to
thirty plus year old wide receivers on our roster starting at number one and number
two, unless we were to trade d hob to get more money in cap
space and to get maybe an additional pick or two on Day two or three.
That's the only one I personally would not want. I know a lot
of people in the Titans nation are wanting T Higgins because I think he's the
top wide receiver projected to go into free agency this year, and a lot
of people see the connection because of Brian Callahan. Brian Callahan was his offensive
coordinator. However, the issue is is the Browns are really hardcore trying to
get him is the other issue. And do I want Will Levis who really
hasn't shown his full potential or do I want to go to a really good
team, a really good roster in the Browns who have Deshaun Watson who's one
massage away from going away for a while. Yeah, and I like everybody
wants T Higgins and I would love to get T Higgins. I don't think
he's gonna be a free agent though, because the Bengals are top five in
cat space as well, and that they can extend Chase this year, but
that money don't hit till twenty five, so they could afford the franchise tag
T Higgins and keep the team together. Yeah, but the they have so
many different needs on that team. I mean that secondary really took a hit
when they let Bates go to the Falcons. They still need to work on
that offensive line. They they need, they need a tight end. So
while yes, they well, yes, they do have a lot of cap
space, I I don't First, I don't know if T Higgins wants to
stay there. Who knows. It's possible that he doesn't, that he doesn't
want to leave, But there's no way that they're gonna keep all three of
those wide receivers on that roster. I think they're going to for twenty twenty
four. I think they break it up clus and that's when they really get
in a salary cut trouble because they've already paid Burrow and then they got to
pay Chase right behind that. And so that's when, like when you got
at thirty your salary cap in two players. Yeah yeah, I don't think
that because the other wide receiver, Oh his name escapes me. It's Tyler
Boyd. Yeah yeah, I mean those are all three this year as well.
He may yees. Yeah, that's what I was saying. I mean
those teams are those wide receivers are going to go into free agency and they're
gonna get paid twenty twenty plus million. Oh yeah, So I don't.
I don't. They can't keep both wide receivers and pay them both twenty million
dollars. No, No, I think I think Boyd definitely hits free agency
this year. But Tyron Smith, he's, like you said, one that
probably the top offensive lineman and free agency, but he's also turning thirty four
this year. It's live how much money are you going to invest in a
thirty four year old left tackle? Rum And so that's why my my number
one targeting free agency would be the Dolphin center Connor Williams, who's the number
one center in free agency, and so you build that that need in the
middle, and then you can go out with the seventh pick and build your
left tackle and so then you've gotten younger all the way, younger and better
all the way across the left side of your line. Not a bad idea,
especially since we'll be we could get Connor Williams for cheap because we entered
we ended a season, Yeah exactly. And if we hire their assistant head
coach as our offensive coordinator, then we've got a you know, a build
in recruiter there that can bring him over. Yeah, that is true.
But before we wrap it up, you got any draft targets. I know
everybody's wanting neither neighbors or a lift tackle at number seven. You have any
surprise pits, maybe somebody in the second round you're looking at. I think
every Titan at the end of the day once Marvin Harrison Junior, I just
think that we all are under the impression that he won't be there. Yeah.
I think draft day is full of surprises. And there are teams in
the NFL that are very QB needy. I mean, you've got the Falcons,
You've got the Raiders, the Broncos that could very quickly move up and
try to move up in the draft to get a quarterback. Yeah, so
amazing as possible on draft not on right before the draft hit this past year,
mel Kpper released his final draft which had will Levis going at number four,
and we got him at number thirty three. So, I mean,
there's always somebody dropping unexpectedly, that's true. Assuming we get a left tackle
in the first round. I was hoping we could address wide receiver in the
second round. Polk El of Washington one. He's one of the top ten
or twelve wide receivers in the nation. And I mean he's no Morvan Harrison
or Neighbors, but he's right there at that very next level. I also
think brock Bowers will drop into the second round, and I'd be okay with
us trying to get him because not only could he help us in the blocking
game, but he could also be a vertical thraft Yeah if he If he
drops out of the first round, then that's a no brainer. I think
that we freighted up to the top of the second round, just like we
did last year. Yeah, but I think that's pretty much got us caught
up on all the crazy coaching news we've had this this past week. So
hopefully we'll have an offensive coordinator to talk about next time around. Let's hope
for this time. I guess that's gonna do it. You wanna tell everybody
where they can find you at. You can add me on Facebook Tyler Warren
